Chapter 16 Peers
Under the dark mountain stream, a burst of black smoke suddenly appeared, and it was discovered by everyone when it was about to approach the mouth of the mountain cliff.
Guo Yuan frowned and arched his hand, which was considered a return gift, Li Xiaoyi's face had become extremely unsightly.
The encounter with the Shushan Sword Sect was a bit unexpected for Li Xiaoyi, and he rubbed his hands vigorously, and there seemed to be an indescribable warmth on them.
He looked at his hands, and at the ground he had trampled underfoot, where two resentful eyes seemed to be buried, cursing and mocking at him.
Li Xiaoyi raised his head and happened to see Guo Yuan staring at him, for some reason, his heart tightened, and he deliberately shifted his gaze and stretched out his hand to point to the mountain stream below and said, "Are they going down too?"
Guo Yuan frowned and turned his head to look at the other side, and Zhang Liang's voice came from his ears: "The people from the Shushan Sword Sect are here." ”
Li Xiaoyi raised his eyes, and sure enough, several lights lit up on the opposite side of the cliff, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown to the front.
The man with a slightly longer face took the lead in walking out of the retreat, and then followed by two women and a man, only to hear Guo Yuan smile and say: "Back then, the Shushan sword test would be goodbye, and Brother Ouyang's cultivation was more prosperous in the past." ”
The man known as Ouyang smiled and said: "Where is Brother Guo Yuan, I see that my brother's Tai is restrained and restrained, surrounded by purple light in the belly, it should be a success in the Dan." ”
As soon as these words came out, several people behind the man looked at Guo Yuan with surprised eyes, but Guo Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a fluke." ”
"What a fluke, you and I both know that cultivating the Dao is nothing more than for the sake of the Great Dao Immortality, and the True Dan Period is a gap on our road to seeking immortals. It's over, it's a step to the sky! Throughout the ages, I don't know how many cultivators and seekers have been stuck on this threshold. ”
Guo Yuan just nodded lightly after hearing this, and then looked at the few people behind Ouyang: "Fellow Daoist didn't come to discuss this with me today." ”
Ouyang smiled, turned around and said, "Yes, it was an accident to meet my brother Tai today, these are my junior brothers and sisters, let me introduce you." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the two women and a man beside him and said, "My two junior sisters Yuqing Yuhan, this is my junior brother, Zheng Tu!"
The three of them arched their hands together and said, "Hello senior brother!"
After Guo Yuan returned the salute, he made a brief introduction to the people on his side, and when it came to Li Xiaoyi, only Ouyang looked at it twice, and the others didn't seem to care much about Li Xiaoyi, who was only in the middle of fetal breath.
This made Li Xiaoyi breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he heard Ouyang say: "I can't hide it from you, this time a few of us came here for a traitor in the door, but I didn't expect to track it down here, and there was no breath, so we thought that this thief might fall into this mountain stream......"
"Is it the person marked on the gold medal a few days ago?" Sun Qian couldn't help but interject.
Ouyang nodded and said, "Yes, it is Cheng Qian, this thief, I don't know if Senior Sister Sun has ever seen it?"
Sun Qian shook his head, and Ouyang groaned: "I don't know what a few people are coming to this White Bone Mountain for?"
Guo Yuan smiled and said: "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, my junior brothers and sisters have never walked out of the division, this time by the team leader, it can be regarded as a trial in the door, and by the way, explore this White Bone Mountain." ”
"Oh!" With a sound, Ouyang turned his head to look at the dark mountain stream and said, "Why don't we go together?"
"That's exactly what I mean!" Guo Yuan nodded, and said again: "The black qi of Fang Cai is not simple, the ghost aura is gloomy, if I am together, it will be more secure." ”
So Guo Yuan and Ouyang had a brief chat again, which was regarded as reaching an agreement with peers, and in the end, everyone's eyes fell on Li Xiaoyi again.
As for Li Xiaoyi, at this time, he was scolding Cheng Qian's shit and not wiping his ass, how much trouble he brought to himself, and what scared Li Xiaoyi the most was what Cheng Qian would do if he was really under this mountain stream?
He will definitely recognize himself, and the things that happened before and after are all related to him Li Xiaoyi, how to hide, how to hide, he Li Xiaoyi can't get rid of it.
"Really?" Li Xiaoyi's voice was a little unnatural, and everyone present thought he was cowardly and afraid, and there was a slight mockery.
He looked at Guo Yuan again, and saw that the other party had no room to let go, so he had to point to the dense forest next to the cliff and said: "There is a mountain trail over there, but it can only go a short distance, I can only take you there." ”
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that the grass and trees were dense, the strange rocks were craggy, and it was extremely difficult to walk, Zheng Tu of the Shushan Sword Sect frowned a little and said: "It's not so troublesome, it's better to go straight down with the sword." ”
Guo Yuan shook his head, but Ouyang said: "The black qi that has just floated out of the mountain stream is extremely unusual, if there is a monster lurking on the side, our sword will fly, and it will become a live target, so it is better to be cautious." ”
Zheng Tu saw that his senior brother had spoken, so he didn't say anything, Guo Yuan said to Li Xiaoyi: "Then it's troublesome for Daoyou." ”
Li Xiaoyi stepped forward with a wry smile, and when he passed by Zheng Tu's side, he said in a sad voice: "Brother, what you said is very right, why don't you insist on it." ”
Ignoring everyone's strange gazes, Li Xiaoyi stepped into the dense forest first, and the breath on his body suddenly became nothing, everyone was stunned, but Ouyang's eyes flashed with a different color, and he didn't say much.
Guo Yuan walked behind Li Xiaoyi, and then Ouyang, a group of nine people, walked down cautiously along this rugged and dangerous road like a snake.
It gradually darkened in front of me, and bursts of cold mountain wind came and went, whistling like a ghost crying, which couldn't help but make people's scalps tingle.
On the mountain stream path, there are mud and rocks sliding down from time to time, and no sound can be heard for a long time, which shows that the depth of this mountain stream is still beyond people's imagination.
Li Xiaoyi was nervous along the way, not only because of the fear of unknown things under the mountain stream, but also because he was thinking about Cheng Qian's affairs.
This is really all cause and effect are rewarded, it's not that you don't report it, it's not time yet, he Li Xiaoyi has been at ease for a few days, and when he encounters such a thing, he really wants to cry without tears.
Just when Li Xiaoyi's mind was uneasy and he was suffering, Guo Yuan suddenly reached out and pulled Li Xiaoyi, who was about to go down, and said, "Be careful!"
But I saw that beside the mountain wall of the path, a few thick trees protruded from the horizontal branches, and several dried corpses in leather armor hung crookedly on them.
The corpse was already air-dried and could not see clearly, and the skin like tree bark was tightly attached to the skeleton, and there was no moisture at all.
When Li Xiaoyi explored this place before, he had seen these two dried corpses, and he didn't think there was anything strange, so he asked Guo Yuan curiously: "What's wrong?"
Guo Yuan didn't speak, his eyes were staring at the other side like torches, but Ouyang on the side seemed to see something, frowned and said: "Let's not talk about the cause of death of these two people, just talk about the climate here, damp and cold, it is not enough to form a dry corpse, don't you think it's strange?"
Li Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows: "There are so many powerful ghosts and murderous spirits in the White Bone Mountain, maybe they were sucked dry of essence blood and died, what's so strange." ”
Guo Yuan shook his head and said: "Then why are their internal organs still so complete, you must know that the murderous soul likes blood the most, I think these two dried corpses were intentionally done!"
"The blood in the heart is sucked, will the heart be shriveled like skin?" Li Xiaoyi was a little curious
"No, it will rot! If the blood of the whole body is drained, people will definitely rot, especially here!" Guo Yuan replied in the affirmative, and then said: "I think there must be something under this mountain stream, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"
"Everyone, be careful, don't touch those two dried corpses. Ouyang then added.
Li Xiaoyi looked at the two dried corpses that looked like skeletons, and the bottom of his heart became more and more bottomless, and when he just walked over, Guo Yuan asked again: "The last time you came here, why didn't you go to the bottom of the mountain stream, what did you see?"
Li Xiaoyi recalled what happened before, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the next and said, "Do you believe in hell?"
