Chapter 26: Under the Devil's Eye
Wu Shijiu and Ashinawei discussed, since he was here to ask for help, when this kind of thing happened, everyone's fate was closely related, how could they stand idly by?
After walking for more than an hour, I heard the sound of water in front of me, as if a pot was boiling, and the smell of fumigated sulfur smoke came from it. In the moonlight, the soil under his feet turned dark brown, as if rust had grown.
From a distance, the originally lush grassy beach turned a dark yellow, colorful and desolate. Further on, the vegetation was gradually replaced by sand, almost to the point that there was no grass at all, and even the most tenacious vitality of the desert barren beach gradually disappeared.
After walking for a while, a huge waterhole appeared in front of me, and by the moonlight, the water in the waterhole was tumbling and spitting, splashing in all directions, and the water stains were washed out of the river in a zigzag way. Everyone thought to themselves, this water smells pungent and unpleasant, boiling without fire, it seems to be the devil's eye, and they can't imagine that there is such a strange poisonous spring in the world. Looking at the desolation around them, I think that the water is poisonous, and no living creature can survive in this vicinity.
At this time, the yellow-headed warriors who were walking in front suddenly whistled, and the team spread out into a fan shape, and marched forward neatly under the leadership of Ayujie, and the warriors beat their shields with their scimitars and shouted: "Baturu...... Baturu (Brave) "The voice was heard far away in the night sky.
Suddenly, a thunderclap accompanied by lightning and thunder pierced the sky, and an oval arch appeared above the waterhole, as if the devil in the sky was disturbed and opened his eyes, and the edge of the arch emitted a strong white light, as if fierce eyes.
I don't know why, being irradiated by that strong light, Wu Shijiu suddenly felt his heart tighten, and his whole body was unspeakably uncomfortable, as if the whole person was grabbed by a big hand, and he kept squeezing hard, and in an instant, cold sweat rolled down, and he was about to fall off the horse.
Looking at Ashinawei again, he was also pale, short of breath, holding his chest with his hand, and almost out of breath.
Seeing that the two of them suddenly looked strange, Zijin hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them get off the horse. Wu Shijiu studied the "Holding the Xuan Heart Sutra", sat down cross-legged at the moment, and slowly lucked according to the pranayama method written in the Xuan Sutra, and after a while, the tension and oppression gradually disappeared. He hurriedly came behind Ashinawei again, pressed his palm against the vest, transmitted the internal force over, and was busy for a while, and the two of them slowly improved.
Ashina was shocked: "Why is it that the closer I get to this door, the more panicked and depressed I become? ”
Wu Shijiu said: "This is the spiritual gate, you are the seventh psychic messenger, in the future, you and I and Ah Yujie and other nine people will close, this is it." ”
"You said Ah Jie is also a psychic messenger?"
"Yes, it's just that he doesn't know it yet. ”
"How the hell is this spiritual gate going to be closed?"
"The clues I have found now show that this spiritual gate will appear in Western Xia, Song Dynasty, Tubo, Dali and other places, and every time it appears, it will inevitably be accompanied by evil beasts, these ancient evil beasts are just to devour psychic messengers. Because in the world today, there are a total of nine psychic messengers, they practice nine kinds of spiritual arts, and in the future, they will gather the power of the nine spirits and completely close the spiritual gate. So the spiritual gate is opened, and they are also looking for them, trying to eliminate them. ”
Ashinawei nodded and said, "Either it dies or I die, it seems that the final battle will be very difficult." ”
"Perhaps...... The last time the spiritual gate is opened, it will definitely appear in the main peak of Helan Mountain, Horseshoe Ridge, that is, the place where it was opened for the first time, if you don't manage to close it at that time, time and space will be chaotic, the future world and the current world will overlap, under the action of gravity, both worlds will collapse, and hundreds of millions of living beings will be destroyed. ”
Ashinavi nodded, took off the iron-tired longbow from his body, turned to the accompanying Hehuang warriors and said, "Everyone, listen to it, you are all good men of Hehuang, you are all warriors of General Assal, and you are all supporters of Jueru Zampu, are you afraid to pay your life for Jueru Zampu?"
The Hehuang warriors drew their swords one after another and shouted three times in succession: "Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!"
"Okay! Today we will advance and retreat together with Ah Jie and Kriku, slay the evil beast, and find the Danba grass. Please stay behind and watch over the horses and chariots of Juru Zampu, and the rest of the people will follow me. ”
The group lined up and followed behind the yellow-headed warrior and rode towards the spiritual gate.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck the sky, and the spiritual gate snorted with a strange sound, and two behemoths jumped out of it. Ah Gang Jie led the yellow-headed warrior to the closest, and suddenly felt the evil wind blowing in his face, and everyone grabbed the reins, held their weapons, and stared at the giant beast that escaped out of the spiritual gate.
The beast stood taller than Ah Knot, with white hair, but its face and claws were bright red, and its mouth was wide open and full of fangs. The most terrifying thing is that the nails of the two front paws are like sharp blades, more than three feet long. It looks like a giant ape, and it is very vicious.
"Zhu Yan...... It's Zhu Yan!" Wu Shijiu suddenly remembered that there was a portrait of Zhu Yan in the "Hug Xuan Heart Sutra", and he didn't expect to meet him here.
Ashina Wei said: "What kind of monster is Zhu Yan?"
"Zhu Yan is one of the ancient fierce beasts, he loves to kill, and can provoke wars, everyone must be careful......"
When everyone's war horses saw the two Zhu Yan, they were so frightened that they raised their front legs, neighed and jumped, and refused to move forward. Ashinawei said loudly: "Stabilize the formation, don't retreat, violators will be killed!"
It took a lot of effort for the Hehuang warriors to forcibly restrain their horses, and they saw the two Zhu Yan suddenly striding away, attacking the yellow-headed warrior formation from the left and right sides respectively.
The head of Zhu Yan saw someone rushing forward, the person stood up, the two front palms continued to beat the chest, and then a palm opened and slapped on the phoenix wings gilt boring, this palm is so fierce, the Ah Yu knot and the horse are slapped crookedly, the horse he rode under the crotch was already born with great strength, but compared with Zhu Yan, like a cat and a puppy, was pushed out sideways by this force, and almost fell.
But Ah Yujie was not afraid at all, and shouted loudly with the horse's head, only to see that the already thick arm was instantly congested and bulged more than three times, like two thick wooden stakes, he lifted the phoenix wings gilt boring high above the top, and with a move Mount Tai pressed the top, he smashed it with all his strength.
Wu Shijiu exclaimed: "It turns out that the great leader of Ah Jiujie is born with divine power, and he is majoring in wood spirit technique, which is really powerful. ”
This blow is heavy and unstoppable, but the head of Zhu Yan is very cunning, refusing to be tough head-on, arching his body and rushing to the side, dodging over, probing his forepaw, his long nails cutting through the horse's legs, and suddenly the skin of the horse's legs is open, and blood is splashed.
It hurt to pull the horse, one leg could barely support it, and he knelt on the ground. Ah Gang Jie jerked the reins, trying to get the war horse up, but to no avail, at this moment, the Zhu Yan pounced again, this time aiming at Ah Gang Jie on the horse's back.
Wu Shijiu and the others all exclaimed: "Be careful!"
I saw that Ah Yujie was not in a hurry to throw the stirrup off the saddle, and the gilt boring was propped on the ground, and he took advantage of the situation to pounce into Zhu Yan's arms, which was actually a posture of fighting to the death. Don't look at his strong and burly body, but his body is very flexible, he is in the air, and he has an extra bull-eared knife in his hand.
Zhu Yan saw that he pounced on him regardless of his life, and jumped backwards several feet away with a loud roar, and Ah Yan missed a blow, rubbed his body and went up again, holding the short knife in his mouth, dancing gilt boring with both hands, and approaching Zhu Yan step by step.
On the other side, the yellow-headed warriors led by the Crebone were also in a bitter battle.
Although this head is small, it is extremely flexible and agile, between the east and the west, every time the nails of the forehand are drawn out, there are several samurai heads on the ground, and after a while, dozens of people are blood-stained with loess. Krigu took out a horn from his bosom and blew it twice, and the rest of the scattered warriors regrouped, took off their hard bows, and wound their arrows one after another, and Kriku pointed his scimitar forward, and the carved arrow "swished" at Zhu Yan, and in a moment it was shot into a huge hedgehog.
But Na Zhu Yan arched his back and trembled, and the feather arrows shot on his body fell one by one, thinking that it had thick hair and hard leather, and ordinary crossbow arrows could not penetrate the epidermis at all.
Kribone was about to launch a second round of attacks, when there was a sudden sound of rolling thunder in mid-air, and a crossbow arrow whistled through the air, and with a "snort" sound, it hit Zhu Yan's left eye and submerged into it.
It was the thunderbolt shot by Ashinavi.
Zhu was tired of the pain, and with a loud roar, he opened his forepaw and scratched around, and several warriors who were close to him were cut by long nails and killed on the spot.
Kerry hurriedly shouted: "Stand back, don't ......" Halfway through his words, the crazy Zhu Yan had already pounced in front of him, grabbed him from the bottom up, and opened his crotch mount to the belly, and his strength was undiminished, and his left arm was cut off violently. At this time, Zhu Yan's other palm was about to slap on the body of the cree, and this palm went down, and it didn't slap people into meat sauce.
The change came too quickly, and Ashnawei's second arrow was not able to shoot, and he saw that the Kerry was about to be killed on the spot. Suddenly, the momentum of Zhu Yi rushed forward, and his body actually fell back.
Everyone looked at it again, but it was Wu Shijiu who didn't know when he joined the battle group, and at this time he was behind Zhu Yan, grabbing its long tail with both hands and dragging it backwards hard.
That Zhu Yan roared violently and slashed the ground with two palms to stabilize his body, but Wu Shijiu stepped on the Nine Palaces at this time, and the real qi in his body was circulating, and his two arms shook almost ten thousand catties, and he dragged it out of the battlefield.
However, after all, Zhu Yan is an ape family, cunning by nature, and his tail is not willing to be captured, so he saw that his two palms suddenly let go of the ground, jumped up by retreating, twisted his body in the air, and swooped straight at Wu Shijiu.
Everyone including the Kawahuang samurai exclaimed, "Be careful!"
Just wait for it to come back to this blow.
Wu Shijiu does not dodge or dodge, his left palm "opens the sky to see the sun", and his right palm "Houhai Xianhe", which is the most fierce trick in the innate twelve styles, seeing that the mountain-like Zhu Yan swooped over, he took a breath of true qi, carried the fire spirit trick, and his palms came out together, and two red flames burst out, spraying on Zhu Yan's body, shooting it more than a zhang away, and falling heavily to the ground.
How fierce the flames brought out by Bi Fang's fire sac, that Zhu Yan no matter how rough the skin and thick flesh were, after all, he was also a hairy beast, and in an instant, the hair all over his body started a fire, burning it screaming, kicking its four claws, turning around and running towards the spiritual gate.
At this time, Ashinawei's second thunder arrow had arrived, and a "poof" sound penetrated through the back of the head, and Zhu Yan ran a few steps and couldn't support it anymore, his huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and his limbs were still twitching.
At this time, Ah Yujie's side was already in danger, although he was tall and natural, but compared with Zhu Yan, there was still a gap. Rao is clever tricks, but after all, he was too close to the spiritual gate, and the power on his body seemed to be sucked away by it, and the gilt boring smashed on Zhu Yan's body several times, but it couldn't hurt the muscles and bones. On the contrary, one was not paying attention, and was grabbed by the brute and bored with gilt, snatched it alive, and threw it aside.
Ah Wujie was not afraid, holding a sharp knife with a bull's ear, and slashed through Zhu Yan's chest, but unexpectedly, the tip of the knife was submerged in the hair, but it was like a cut through a piece of dead wood, leaving no trace.
He was stunned, and was about to stab him again, but he was hugged by Na Zhu Yan, and his two forelimbs tightened hard, and Ah Wujie suddenly felt that the Venus in front of him was popping up, and he could barely breathe, only to hear two soft clicks, and two ribs were crushed in his chest, and his life was instantaneous.
Na Zhu Yan opened his bloody mouth, first bit off the cow bone helmet on his head, and then bared out a mouth full of fangs, and bit at Ah Yanjie's head.
Everything was only between lightning and flint, and it was too late for the rest of the yellow-headed warriors to rescue them, and they saw that the big leader was about to be killed.
When it was too late, there was a sudden cold flash in mid-air, and the silver light lit up the night sky, and Zhu Yan's head flew up, and then fell to the ground, and the bones rolled out of the distance, and the dead body fell down. As soon as its two front paws loosened, Ah Knot fell to the ground, gasping for air.
Everyone looked along the bright light and saw Wu Shijiu holding a long sword shining with silver light, standing next to Zhu Yan's dead body.
The bloody blade of Jianchuan is beginning to show its edge.
