Under the faint light, the black shadow floats lightly, high and low, big and small. As if facing a powerful enemy, he cautiously retreated into the courtyard. When the black shadow slowly turned around, there was a bunch of silver white on it, like a monster sticking out its tongue.

The six people who looked through the crack in the door turned into wooden statues.

"Squeak!" the door opened, and the young man with a halberd stood in the doorway, like a god, staring at the black shadow. The black shadow paused, turned his head to look, and two golden lights flashed on his empty head.

"It turned out to be a chimpanzee!" Dugu Hexuan roared angrily, causing the black shadow to turn around and run away. At the same time, it also woke up six other people.

"Something is wrong with this orangutan, chase!" Dugu Hexuan immediately made a decision and shouted: "Old Seven, close my door." ”

In the dark of the night, the shadows were not swallowed up by the darkness. Dugu Hexuan's feet were windy, regardless of it, desperately chasing after the black shadow. The six people behind him were gradually distanced. The shadow galloped westward, throwing the pursuers far behind, past several peaks, to a deep stream, and slowly stopped.

The black shadow stopped, and Dugu Hexuan, who was the first to chase, also stopped on the hillside seven zhang away. Suddenly, Dugu Hexuan walked gently towards the black shadow. The black shadow had no intention of dodging, Dugu Hexuan was bold and careful, let go of his fear, let out a friendly and gentle aura, and slowly stood in front of the black shadow. With the light of the jade in his hand, he saw that it was an elderly chimpanzee. Its hair is thick and long, and its jaw has a three-foot-long white whisker that shimmers with a silver glow.

Dugu Hexuan smiled faintly, pointed into the deep stream, and the chimpanzee actually responded and nodded slightly.

Qiu Yu and the others, who came from behind, also came over after seeing the situation clearly. All of them stood on Dugu Hexuan's side in fear. Among the crowd, only Pang Si looked left and right, looking towards the stream with great anxiety. The others didn't know why, and their eyes only swirled around the chimpanzee.

"Senior brother, there are snakes in the stream!" Pang Si said softly.

"Huh?" Dugu Hexuan said in a lost voice, "Sixth, how do you know? Don't talk nonsense about this, it will kill people!"

Pang Si shook his head and said in a low voice: "This snake group was domesticated by people. Now, they are guarding one thing at the behest of their master, and they will not take the initiative to attack. If we get the master's order to attack, a few of us will not be enough to be snacks. I'm afraid that even a monk with the artistic conception of God is difficult to deal with. ”

Dugu Hexuan said in a deep voice: "Do you have a way?"

Pang Si said with certainty: "Senior brother, there is now! If they are awakened by their masters, there will be no more!"

"You come with me!" Dugu Hexuan walked towards the stream. The silence in the stream was unusual, without any snake breath or smell. Dugu Hexuan, who was walking in front, was a little puzzled, wondering if this dead fat man had made a mistake.

"Senior brother, stop!" Pang Si called softly and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, look up!"

Dugu Hexuan raised his eyes, shook his head and said, "Nothing!"

Pang Si said: "Senior brother, what are you going to do?"

"What to do?" Dugu Hexuan immediately understood, and said, "Catch them all, go back and eat snake meat!"

Pang Si grinned, motioned for Dugu Hexuan to stand behind, took out a coarse cloth bag from his waist, and placed it flat on the ground. After a while, wisps of red smoke came out of his pockets, emitting a strange fishy smell. Then, Pang Si's two sarcomas bulged out and made strange noises. With the strange smell and sound, there was a continuous "hissing" sound in the quiet stream.

After a while, one snake after another appeared. The moment these snakes encounter different lights, they will change to the color of the light. The wisps of red smoke seemed to have a fatal attraction, making the snakes unable to extricate themselves and burrowing into their coarse cloth pockets. And the coarse cloth bag was even more magical, hundreds of snakes of different sizes got into it, and there was no change in the pocket.

"The snake sac of the snake clan?" Dugu Hexuan snorted and said, "It turns out that the sixth is from the snake tribe in southern Xinjiang!"

Pang Si put away the snake sac, squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "It's so dangerous! Fortunately, this snake group is a snake group that has been divided for less than three years, and there is no 'snake king' or 'snake emperor' yet." Otherwise, I can't deal with it. Maybe only my mother can deal with it. ”

Dugu Hexuan smiled and said, "Not bad! You are still the son of the patriarch of the snake clan!"

Qiu Xu's expression was solemn, he pointed upward, and said, "Senior brother, there is a person up there!"

Dugu Hexuan nodded, jumped up, and used his halberd to pick off the withered vine, and the person tied to the withered vine fell heavily to the ground. When I got closer, I couldn't help but snort softly, and said in great confusion: "How could it be that fat man?"

Dugu Hexuan frowned and said, "Get out of here!"

Qiu Yu and Yin Si carried the cultivation certificate away, and Dugu Hexuan broke off. As soon as the seven people walked out of the deep stream, the same voice suddenly sounded from the stream, "Get out of here." The seven men suddenly seemed to be petrified, and stood still.

At this moment, Dugu Hexuan's left and right ribs bulged, as if two hearts were beating. The whole person walked indifferently towards the stream and disappeared into the endless darkness.

"Shhhh

"Ahh

Dugu Hexuan woke up from the pain and saw a nine-pronged snake core sticking out of the darkness and inserting it into his dantian, and the darkness in front of him seemed to be able to swallow the light. The dantian is the lifeblood of the monk and the foundation of breaking down obstacles. If it is destroyed, it will be impossible to build a foundation in this life, and you can only say goodbye to the path of monasticism. Dugu Hexuan instinctively grabbed the snake core with both hands. Unexpectedly, at the moment when he just grabbed it, two powerful forces suddenly gave birth to under the left and right ribs, and they poured into the snake core with the momentum of the rushing river.

Dugu Hexuan didn't react, and suddenly felt that two supernatural forces returned to his body with the momentum of the river pouring back, rushing into the bulging place under the left and right ribs. The two bulging places suddenly swelled with foreign forces, the left side was like a rough sea, rolling up thousands of heavy waves, and the right side was like a cold and windy snowfield, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The huge waves were monstrous, the snowballs were rolling, tearing the flesh endlessly, and transmitting the endless pain to Dugu Hexuan.

Dugu Hexuan really couldn't hold on, and when life was worse than death, he slowly withdrew his hands and pinched his neck. He would rather strangle himself than be tortured in such an abyssal hell. The only remaining Lingnian looked at him, his hands black like a pair of demonic claws.

A black shadow slowly approached, raising a huge giant palm and slapping at the back of Dugu Hexuan's head. Dugu Hexuan and the Open Heaven Demon Halberd fell down heavily, and immediately fell silently. In an instant, a relentless black mist rose from the ground, enveloping Dugu Hexuan tightly.

Strange peaks are stacked, and the deep stream is lonely. The faint morning light slowly dissipated, making way for the fiery sun. A new year, a new day, all things in heaven and earth adapt to themselves, and also show a new atmosphere.

Dugu Hexuan woke up slowly, and kept stroking towards the left and right ribs. A faint "wave" grows in the left armpit, and a "snowball" grows in the right armpit. The waves and the snowball move in opposite directions, reaching the heart together, and then going in opposite directions, and so on. There seems to be a "Mount Meru" in my heart, permanently separating the two.

Cold!

Endless coldness cast Dugu Hexuan's body.

Dugu Hexuan stood up with difficulty, looked at the chimpanzee standing motionless like a mountain, and smiled mischievously. Settle down, walk towards the stream, and use memory to find the source of the nine-pronged snake core.

The deep stream is foggy and visibility is extremely weak. However, in one place in the thick fog, there were faint flashes of three circles of multicolored light. That direction is the direction in which the snake core sticks out. It's just that it's very calm and there is no breath of it.

Dugu Hexuan did not hesitate, approached the halo, and found that there were only three colorful snake eggs. Not far from the snake's eggs was a piece of black wood, about three inches long, as thick as an arm, and blood oozing from the annual ring prints.

"Blood Jade Divine Tree, Holy Witch Sect Snake Refining Hall?"

Dugu Hexuan looked at the black wood in his hand, and a pair of shocked eyes were about to burst. He lost his reaction for a moment and stayed where he was.

Suddenly, under the clear sky, a thunderbolt of lightning crossed the Qingwei Mountains. Suddenly, the wind suddenly rose, thunder and lightning flashed, and the torrential rain poured.

"Scared?" A strange thought appeared, Dugu Hexuan smiled softly, and laughed at himself: "What's wrong with me?"

"Old Hei, your residence has been destroyed, why don't you come with me. I finally have a place to shelter from the rain. Dugu Hexuan walked out of the mountain stream quickly and said to the chimpanzee with a smile.

The chimpanzee looked affectionately into the stream for a while, silently following behind Dugu Hexuan. After walking a few feet, I saw six "puppeteers" standing in the heavy rain, regardless of the wind and rain, they always maintained that posture, standing in the rainstorm. The rain was pouring in, the rain curtain was continuous, and it was difficult to distinguish the appearance of the six people. Dugu Hexuan suddenly felt a bad omen come to his heart, although he refused and resisted in his heart, he was unwilling to admit the truth. But after all, I still can't deceive myself.

Dugu Hexuan gently patted Diao Si's shoulder, Diao Si woke up slowly, and said with a sleepy face: "Senior brother, is it dawn?"

"It's almost dawn!" Dugu Hexuan said speechlessly, waking up the other five people in turn.

"Why was last night's dream so dark? It's like a world of ink!" The six of them said almost the same thing one after another, all of them looking ignorant, as if they were still stuck in the darkness and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Last night, who was imitating my voice?And who created the dark dream?" Dugu Hexuan fell silent, thinking seriously about last night's events. Although it is known that the six were obsessed by the imitation voice, no one knows where the voice came from. If I hadn't been manipulated by the mysterious things in my body, I am afraid that I would not have fallen into that dark nightmare, and I would never be able to wake up.

After everyone sobered up, the group braved the heavy rain to move forward.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is getting more and more urgent. The dark clouds continued to fall, as if they would not stop falling on the Qingwei Mountains. Probably in the eyes of mortals, this immortal mountain standing in the south of the Hongmeng Realm has long been in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

When everyone walked a distance and came to the foot of a mountain, Dugu Hexuan, who was walking in front, stopped and looked towards the mountain. This mountain is the same mountain that escaped when it was chased by a brown bear. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, at this moment, I can't see the entrance of those caves clearly. There has been a flash flood on the mountain, roaring and rushing, taking away the memories that Dugu Hexuan does not want to recall.

After a short stay, everyone picked up their pace a little and returned to the Yellow Courtyard.

"Sixth, divide the snake into two parts, and the other one only needs one of the smallest. The less one was given to the elders of the sect, and the more one was left in the Yellow Courtyard. Everyone stopped at the gate of the Yellow Courtyard, and Dugu Hexuan ordered: "Second brother, you and the five of them carry this fat man to find Elder Jingcheng." Tell the truth about what you encounter. ”

Qiu Yu said: "Senior brother, this matter should be presided over by you. ”

Dugu Hexuan said: "Maybe it's cold." I was so unwell that I didn't go. The six of you go together, if there is an opportunity, don't miss it easily. After all, people of our status can only be met but not sought in many cases. After a pause, he said: "Fourth, when you come back, buy a few more jars of aged drunken flower carving." ”

Min Si let out an "oh" and didn't say much.

"Remember, buy more!" Dugu Hexuan smiled faintly, walked towards the yard with a coarse cloth bag, and said, "Lao Hei, let's go back to the house to avoid the rain first." The rest will be left to the six stinky boys. ”

Dugu Hexuan's figure was blocked by a huge black shadow, disappearing into the courtyard and disappearing into the rain.

Qiu Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother still doesn't trust us!"

Yin Si said: "Second brother, why do you say that, Senior Brother is not that kind of person!"

"That's because you don't understand the truth that 'defenselessness is great defense'!"
