Chapter 133: Yin Si Hantan
Let's say that Zhang Lao and Xiao Xuannu care everywhere, pay attention step by step, avoid the black fog that wanders around, and come to a low-lying place. At the bottom of the depression is a deep pool, and on the shore of the deep pool are three dead trees.
The closer I got to the pond, the more I felt sad and terrifying. The cold wind was rolling, the black fog was numerous, and the sound of crying was endless. I saw that the pool was sometimes as quiet as stagnant water, and sometimes the blood waves were surging, like a black mirror through the netherworld, but like a fire pit floating to the upper realm. The yin qi is cold to the bone, and the fishy wind smells at the heart.
It is as quiet as stagnant water, and no one comes to spend it. The blood waves are surging, and the entry and exit are all life-threatening. The water of the pond is four or five zhang wide, and its depth does not know how far it is. There are geismos and monsters on the top, and there are cold locks that rob people. The gloomy atmosphere is pervasive, and people can see that it is a fierce place at a glance!
The little Xuannu shuddered, and carefully followed behind Zhang Lao and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
Zhang Lao also had a solemn face at this time, raised his hand to drive away those black fog and haze, looked at the pool of water and said: "This is the closest place to the Netherworld Demon Realm in the Necromantic Swamp, this pool is called Yin Si Hantan, and this water is connected to the evil water of the Nai River in the Netherworld. It is easy to communicate with dead spirits here. Today we have to find an old friend here and ask us something. ”
"Since it is connected to the Netherworld Demon Realm, if you want to communicate with the necromancy, you will have to pay a lot of price!" said the little Xuannu worriedly.
When Zhang Lao heard this, his body trembled slightly, but he immediately regained his composure, turned around and looked at the little Xuannu calmly, sighed and said, "Don't worry, I know the price." ”
When you come to the edge of the pool, the yin and evil atmosphere here is even stronger. I could faintly hear the sound of misery and sorrow.
Zhang Lao led the little Xuannu to a dead tree, and took out a bunch of things from the gourd, including the blood of the fire unicorn, the teeth of the dragon, the fairy grass of the Spirit Mountain, and the cinnamon branches of the Moon Palace...... Burning these things into runes with karmic fire, he made a circle of enchantments around him and the little Xuannu. Then he turned his head and said to the little Xuannu with a grim expression: "No matter what happens later, you are not allowed to leave this circle of enchantment, let alone make a sound, understand?"
The little Xuannu nodded and said, "Understood." ”
This place touched her and made her feel uncomfortable. It was as if the sleeping spirit would be snatched away at any moment. Although this enchantment made by Zhang Lao can keep those ghosts and demons unapproachable. But the creepy sound can still be heard.
Without the protection of Zhang Lao, it would be a very terrible thing to be harassed and tempted by those ghosts.
Although the little Xuannu has a naughty temperament, she is still very clear about the danger at this moment. It was to sit cross-legged in the circle obediently according to Zhang Lao's instructions. Observe quietly. Ignore the voices outside.
When Zhang Lao saw the little Xuannu sit down as she said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and actually stepped out of the enchantment by himself. Step by step, step into the pool!
With the entry of Zhang Lao, large bubbles continued to emerge on the dark surface of the pool, boiling like boiling water. Many cold chains wrapped around Zhang Lao together, dragging him into the water.
I saw that Zhang Lao had words in his mouth, and a faint white light was released around his body. As soon as the chains touched the light, they bounced away, and hundreds of chains swam like poisonous snakes around the scruffy old man.
Zhang Lao walked forward calmly, his eyes fixed on the center of the pool, ignoring the chains that kept trying to get close to him, and finally stopped at the waist-high place of the pool. Gradually, Zhang Lao's voice was like a mountain that overshadowed all the wails and sorrows by the pool.
The sword in his left hand pointed to his lips and recited the incantation, and the tip of his right finger tapped lightly, outlining the Dao rune out of thin air, centering on the place where Zhang Lao was standing, setting off a gust of wind and blowing up his clothes. Immediately afterward, a monstrous thundercloud fell from the sky, so low that it seemed to be touching it if you were standing on a hill and raising your hand!
Bang!
A thunderbolt of thunder and lightning tore through the air and instantly slashed into the center of the pool!
As if stimulated by thunder and lightning, the pool of water began to spin wildly, forming a huge whirlpool on the surface of the water. The ghostly spirits that roamed the edge of the pool fled in terror, screaming and screaming in pain, but they could not escape their fate of being swallowed up by the whirlpool.
At the edge of the whirlpool, Zhang Lao stood steadily, still staring at the center of the pool, chanting the incantation aloud in a firm rhythm. Gradually, the white light surrounding his body became stronger and stronger, covering up Zhang Lao's figure. Those cold chains seemed to have life at this time, and they all hid in the pool, not daring to get any closer.
Thundered!
At this moment, several more lightning bolts struck, hitting the center of the vortex directly, as if to penetrate it.
At the same time, the sound of incantations rippling around the pool water suddenly stopped, and Zhang Lao suddenly raised his head and spread his hands, chanting a person's name in an ancient language.
The lightning bolts suddenly stopped after falling, and instead of disappearing, they condensed into several thick chains that plunged straight into the center of the vortex, piercing it through!
After a while, the chains of lightning began to pull back, pulling out a figure curled up in a black tattered cloak. The moment the figure emerged from the water, the whirlpool in the middle of the pool gradually slowed down until it disappeared.
The surroundings of the cold pool seemed to regain calm in the blink of an eye, and the black shadow floated on the surface of the pool and slowly stood up, with its head bowed, as if a piercing eye was looking through the shadow of the cloak at the scruffy old man standing in the water.
"Could it be that this is the dead spirit from that worldly realm!?" the little Xuannu exclaimed in her heart, almost not shouting, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Standing within the barrier by the pool, she witnessed this thrilling moment with her own eyes, and felt extremely shocked, and her heart really sweated for the sloppy old man. Despite this, she didn't dare to make a sound, let alone go out of the range of the enchantment, so she could only stand quietly and watch as the old man instructed.
The black shadow standing on the surface of the pond and the sloppy old man looked at each other silently for a while, and suddenly sighed and said: "Wealth is in the sky, life and death are fate." The luck of this world has already been determined, and I have already told you to break the heavenly opportunity. Why are you still looking for me?"
Although the voice was faint and low, it could be distinguished that it was actually a woman!
At this moment, another gust of wind blew, blowing off the cloak on the black shadow's head. revealed the long black hair scattered and a pale and poignant pretty face. Yin and compassionate, miserable and miserable. Xiao Xiao is sparse, only beautiful.
Zhang Lao's eyes lit up, and he looked at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The black shadow's eyes were hollow and expressionless, but he hurriedly raised his slender and white hands and put the cloak that had been blown off by the yin wind back on his head.
"It's Sister Feng'er!" the little Xuannu shouted in her heart. At the moment when the cloak was blown by the wind. She recognized the identity of the black shadow in her past life.
It was a woman she admired so much, the youngest priestess of Huaxu Kingdom, who inherited the unique prophetic ability of the Feng family and was good at divination. He has always been like a god. Once with the courage of men. Confront Thor. Resolve a country's thunderstorm.
Seeing that Zhang Lao just looked at her and didn't answer, the black shadow sighed and continued: "Approve the fate and change the luck, and go against the sky." These were just thoughts we had when we were younger. It turns out that everything has a cause and must have an effect, there is gain and there is a loss, and everything in the world is moving according to the steps stated in the prophecy. Why are you so persistent?"
Zhang Lao looked up at the black shadow with a stern expression, suddenly narrowed the corners of his eyes, and said with a grin: "There is something that does not match the prophecy, you are the last person in the Huaxu Guofeng clan, if I don't come to you, who are I going to look for?"
The black shadow did not have any surprise when he heard this, as if he had already seen through the world, and said in a deep voice without shock: "The last time you came to ask for divination, you almost entered the underworld after suffering from the cold abyss, and what you got was an unchanging answer. Do you want to taste the taste of the eternal cold turbidity and the piercing soul of a thousand needles again this time?"
When Elder Zhang heard the words of the Netherworld Cold Abyss, the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, but he still said with a firm expression: "I know the rules here, and I also understand the price to be paid, but this can reduce the punishment on you, doesn't it?"
The black shadow shook his head and sighed, "I have long since died, and I have fallen into the bitter and bitter hell of the world, but I will be punished for revealing the secret of heaven and changing my life against the heavens. The pain in the Nether Realm is not something that the body can bear, and even you are in danger of falling. I'm glad you came to see me, but this time, I'm not going to make any more smudges for you. ”
"Feng'er, aren't you still angry with me and refuse to tell me a fortune?" Zhang Lao said excitedly as he looked at the black shadow.
"Don't mention my earthly name anymore, the wind you know is dead. I'm just a tortured necromancer now, and everything can only be done according to the laws of heaven and earth......" The black shadow said lightly: "In this way, since you have summoned me, according to the rules, if you can give convincing evidence, I can divinate for you." ”
In fact, the reason why the black shadow said this was completely because he recognized that the original prophecy could not be changed, and he wanted to make the person in front of him retreat. Suddenly, he saw the cunning light in the old man's eyes, and he just wanted to open his mouth to change his mouth, but found that he couldn't help himself.
"Mantra Rune...... Hmph, you're still so cunning and annoying......" The dark shadow said helplessly, "Okay, you chose the path yourself, don't say I didn't warn you...... Bear in mind that I don't want to listen to any lies!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lao smiled, looked left and right, and those ghosts and wild ghosts and life-seeking yaksha who were wandering around the Yin Si Hantan were temporarily dispersed by the thunder and lightning, and quickly waved his sword finger in the direction where the little Xuannu was, and broke a hole in the enchantment.
Due to the protection of the enchantment, those necromantic ghosts in the Netherworld Demon Realm couldn't see the little Xuannu at all. After this barrier was broken, the little Xuannu suddenly appeared in front of the black shadow as if she had come out of the air!
"Who do you see she is?" said Zhang Lao pointed at the little Xuannu and smiled.
"She's ......" The black shadow looked at the little porcelain baby in green clothes and was silent for a long time, and then looked at the little hand that was tightly grasping the broom and suddenly said, "She's a Xuannu!?"
"Impossible!"
The black shadow hurriedly floated to the little Xuannu, and while carefully looking up and down, he said suspiciously: "Xuannu has already fallen in the great battle. According to the prophecy, her body was exposed to the wilderness by the ancestors of the people she had helped, and her spirit body eventually died out completely after hundreds of millions of years of wear and tear, and she could never turn over......"
When the little Xuannu heard this, she remembered the past, her expression was slightly sad, she glanced at Zhang Lao in the pool, saw Zhang Lao nodding, and whispered to the black shadow: "Sister Feng'er, it's my ......"
"It's really you! What the hell is going on?"
The black shadow listened, suddenly lifted the cloak, a happy smile appeared on the pale and poignant face, and the slender hands wanted to step forward and pull the small porcelain hand, but unfortunately there was no substance.
The little Xuannu looked at the nervous appearance of the black shadow, with a slight smile on her face, and explained: "In the Great War of the Beginning, after my death, as the prophecy said, the body was abandoned in the wilderness, and the wind and rain turned into a monster, and the spirit body almost died out in the world due to the loss of divine consciousness. 300 million years ago, I learned that the spirit body went to the Holy City, the capital of the undead, to ask for it, not wanting to be defeated and imprisoned. Fortunately, before the spirit was about to dissipate, a young man broke into the holy place of the ancient city of the concubine king and rescued me, so that I could become one with the spirit again, and I had the hope of recovering my divine power......"
"Who is that boy?" asked the Shadow.
"It's my newly accepted little apprentice, and this time the divination is related to him. Zhang Lao stood in the pool and said.
"Understood. ”
The black shadow nodded, touched the little Xuannu's hair in the air, turned around and floated back in front of Zhang Lao. Zhang Lao raised his hand to signal that the little Xuannu would be quiet again, and then changed his handprint to close the enchantment again. Turning around, he looked at the dark shadow with a smile.
But the black shadow covered the cloak again, and still stared at him coldly. pinched his fingers and said lightly: "It is really different from the original prophecy, but the outcome of the matter will not change." Moreover, do you know what price it takes to restore the Xuannu to her divine energy?"
"That's the first question I want to ask. Zhang Lao said.
"Okay, I can tell you about that right now. The black shadow put down his wrist, looked down at Zhang Lao again, and said slowly: "To let the Xuannu recover her divine power, that young man must die!"
(If you want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.) (To be continued......)
