Chapter 4: The Twelve Sacred Guards
The night sky is pitch black, and the starlight is dotted on this black curtain, rendering a magnificent scene.
The moonlight falls in the deep mountains, in stark contrast to the white snow, like a beautiful picture scroll slowly opening, making people feel that they can't bear to break it.
"It's all to blame for this damn heavy snowfall, such a bad environment, I can't stand it anymore. ”
A mercenary came out from behind the tree and said to his fellow guard, "Go quickly, or we will be punished if we are found to have left the team without permission." ”
"Damn, he has to sneak around to untie his hand, and I don't know what he's nervous about. It's just that I was attacked by a group of crazy people during the day, and I can kill as many dead soldiers of that strength as I come. ”
The other mercenary unbuttoned his pants disdainfully and walked to the tree to release the urine he had been holding for a long time. Because they were dissatisfied with the tense atmosphere in the team, they really couldn't stay, so they secretly ran out to relieve themselves, and the two of them were actually a little dissatisfied with Mu Xibai's almost demanding vigilance, but because Mu Xibai was the initiator of this mission, they couldn't say anything.
The sound of rushing water came from under the tree, and at first the mercenary shaved his teeth and looked around casually.
"Hey, look at that. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he stabbed his companion.
The mercenary who was lifting his pants frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
He followed the gaze of his companion, but saw a beautiful woman in a black robe and a strange high crown strolling in the moonlight.
"This girl...... It's kind of interesting. The eyes of the two mercenaries were straight, and one of them was drooling, and his expression was extremely unbearable.
But soon, another mercenary who was a little more sober said in a low voice: "But looking at her strange dress, she actually walks alone in the mountains in the middle of the night, and she is probably not an ordinary person, don't provoke her, go back to the camp first." ”
"Look at your guts, look at her soft and weak, I guess I'm lost, hey, look at me. ”
Wiping his saliva, the mercenary stepped forward and blocked the path of the black-robed woman, and said with a strange smile: "Girl, it's so late, where are you going?"
The black-robed woman stopped, a glimmer of light flashed in her dark and bright eyes, but she did not have any brilliance, and whispered softly with an expressionless face: "The smell of your body is full of sin, kneel down and ask for the grace of God, I will open the door to eternal life for you." ”
"What are you talking about?" the mercenary paused, staring at the beautiful face of the woman in front of him, and suddenly found that her eyes were like a pair of black holes, and after looking at her, he had an illusion that he couldn't extricate himself.
"Kneel, sinner, the glory of Lord Yamadarsa will forgive you of all your sins. You will be reborn in the midst of the fire. ”
The plain words, like a life-urging charm, made the mercenary kneel down in a daze, but his consciousness was extremely clear, and the whole person began to tremble with fear!
"Stinky, what did you do to him?!"
When his companion saw this, he immediately rushed over, drew his short-handled axe, and slashed it with an axe!
Bite!
After a crisp sound, I saw that the falling axe seemed to be on top of something, and it actually stopped within a few inches of the woman's head, and the mercenary's face was flushed, and there was no way to let the axe fall half an inch.
"Sinners full of foul language, your fate is to be scattered in the karmic fire!" The sudden high-pitched voice made the faces of the two mercenaries change drastically at the same time, and the screams that were not like humans immediately echoed in the forest, disturbing many birds in the forest.
There was a loud noise, and the black-robed woman straightened her weird high crown, closed her eyes, and said reverently: "All the sins in this world should be washed away with blood." All beings who do not honor your glory are sinners!"
With a blood-stained step, the woman walked towards the depths of the mountain again, but the two mercenaries were already twisted, dyeing the snow beneath them a large patch of red.
By the time they died, their faces were filled with fear, and their mouths were wide open, but they only let out the hoarse screams.
Bai Yang, who was keeping vigil in the camp from afar, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the dark forest.
An ominous atmosphere began to haunt him, and his heart felt as if it was being held in the palm of a hand, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Even the shrunken flame demon in his body and the blurred ice mantis began to tremble, and he also felt some kind of terrifying aura.
"What's wrong? Your face is a little ugly?"
Yi Caixing, who came out of the tent, saw Bai Yang staring into the distance, and couldn't help but ask: "I'm tired, I'll be on guard in the middle of the night, you go and take a rest." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yang chuckled and shook his head, set the bonfire in front of him to make the flame burn more vigorously, and said, "It's just a little bad premonition, and it's not in the way." ”
As if sensing that the young man in front of him didn't want to say anything, Yi Caixing snorted and didn't mention the topic again. But the atmosphere fell into an inexplicable embarrassment, the two sat silent, and after a while, Dian Qianshan, who still got out of the tent, broke the silence.
"Boy, it's time, go and rest. ”
Dian Qianshan touched Bai Yang's shoulder, although his tone was still so unkind, it was already a little more kind than during the day.
Bai Yang stood up on his knees, stretched his muscles slightly, and said with a smile: "There's nothing sleepy, I'm going to go around the neighborhood and see if I can find something interesting." ”
"Huh?" Yi Caixing hurriedly stood up, "It's so late, isn't it good......?
"It's okay, I can protect myself. Bai Yang waved his hand, turned around and walked in the direction where the breath came from just now.
Yi Caixing wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Bai Yang was so insistent, he couldn't say anything more, and after sighing, he sat back silently.
Dian Qianshan glanced at her a little strangely, and asked, "Leader, you shouldn't be interested in this kid, right?" He looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, this is ...... Not quite right, right?"
"Get out!" Yi Caixing glared at Qianshan and shouted angrily: "If you chew your tongue again, I'll break your mouth!"
Frightened, he shrunk his neck, and Dian Qianshan didn't dare to say anything, but his eyes were still looking at Bai Yang's back, and he shook his head silently.
"Senior brother, you see, it's that guy. Xu Ruyi, who was sitting by the campfire, accidentally caught a glimpse and found that Bai Yang was walking towards the outside of the camp, and couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't understand the rules at all, and I dare to leave the team so late?"
Mu Xi Bai followed the prestige and found that Bai Yang's expression was extremely solemn, as if he had discovered something, he handed the wooden branch in his hand to Xu Ruyi, "I'll take a look." ”
"Hey!"
Xu Ruyi paused for a moment, but Mu Xibai had already chased Bai Yang over, she couldn't hold it even if she wanted to, and she couldn't help kicking the bonfire a little unpleasantly, scattering the sparks from the fire.
"Juggernaut, did you feel that breath just now?" Walking in the forest, Bai Yang condensed and communicated with the juggernaut.
The master responded, and there was a slight solemnity in his voice: "It's not wrong, it's someone from the Senluo Holy Sect." Moreover, the one who can emit this kind of aura should probably be a saint-level existence. ”
"Holy Guard?" Bai Yang remembered the twelve Holy Guards that the young dead man had said before, so he asked, "Are these Holy Guards very strong?"
"The Twelve Holy Guards are the management of the Senluo Holy Sect, although they are only the lowest level, there are many strange people among them, and at least they have to be in the Dingyuan Realm to become the Holy Guards. I don't know which one they sent out this time, if it is one of the weakest [Despair] [Sin] [Death] Three Holy Guards, with your strength, it is still possible to deal with it, but if it is a slightly higher ranking [Judgment] [Yongxu] [Dawn] and other Holy Guards, I am afraid that now you have no other way than to run away with your tail between your legs. ”
"Although that aura makes my heart palpitate, it's not so strong that it can't be resisted, I think it must be some holy guard who is not strong. After Bai Yang groaned, he suddenly felt that someone was following him, his footsteps paused slightly, and the person behind him really stopped.
"It's the kid with the knife. Juggernaut reminded faintly.
Bai Yang tilted his head slightly, and his afterglow swept to Mu Xibai's figure hiding behind the tree, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he continued to walk forward extremely casually. But just when Mu Xibai wanted to follow, Bai Yang's figure suddenly fluttered, and after a few flashes, he disappeared into the dark forest.
"So fast!"
Mu Xi's white pupils shrank, and before he had time to chase, he found that Bai Yang had completely disappeared from his field of vision.
"This kind of body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hit him with my flash. Seeing this amazing speed, Mu Xibai's heart sank, and he couldn't help but start evaluating Bai Yang's strength again.
And after getting rid of Mu Xibai, Bai Yang jumped over a high snow slope, stirring up a thousand layers of snow waves, and then stopped with a wry smile and patted off the snow on his face, "Suddenly untied the shackles on my body, this speed is really uncontrollable." ”
"Hehe, when you get used to the Heavenly Attraction Secret Spell, it won't be a problem to flash thousands of miles at every turn, so you're still too weak now. After the juggernaut snorted twice, his voice changed suddenly: "Hmm? this is ...... Hide!"
Bai Yang didn't think about it, and directly followed the master's words, leaned down under the snow slope, and buried his figure with the snow pit he had just blown up, only revealing his two eyes, and even his breathing was reduced to a minimum.
Under the moonlight, a woman in a black robe and a strange high crown stepped on the snow, her eyes were blank, but her face was full of piety, as if bathed in divine light, and walked towards the white sun step by step.
"The world full of sin must be forged with karmic fire. Lord Yandarsa, your strength is getting closer and closer to me. The woman muttered inexplicable crazy words to herself, and her steps began to gradually pick up, heading towards the depths of the snow-capped mountain.
