Chapter Seventy-Six: This Tree Is Strange
The sleeping people, seeing the universe hanging upside down, the sun and the moon ethereal, the soul and divine consciousness wandering in the strange and mysterious realm, distinguishing and storing mysterious text patterns.
It seems like a dream is not a dream, and it is both true and false. In the mystical realm of nightmares, the mysterious information in the soul consciousness is almost bào zhà, so that the recipient cannot find the direction to move forward.
At a certain moment when time and space stood still, a small green sapling appeared in front of their eyes, as if growing in a fresh river of blood, with only two leaves showing the surface of the river, flashing with a faint green light. The river of blood swelled, and wave after wave hit the little sapling.
However, the sapling seems to have an extraordinarily powerful vitality. Under the continuous impact of the blood wave, it became stronger and stronger, and the light grew stronger, and moved forward slowly but firmly.
They slowly moved in the direction in which the little sapling appeared, and staggered in the river of blood. It's just that the closer you get to the green sapling, the stronger the breath of vitality unique to nature becomes, slowly awakening the sleeping soul.
Time passes slowly.
Suddenly, a black giant sword rose from the blood river, holding the small green sapling steadily, and the blood river suddenly receded like a tide. Then, the endless darkness swallowed up all the light, and even the little sapling quietly disappeared. Everyone closed their eyes violently, and their hearts prayed.
When they opened their eyes again, they appeared in a small courtyard in a mountain village. In the small courtyard, Dugu Hexuan was carrying a giant sword and was looking up at a stone statue in a daze. The statue has a hideous face, huge eyes like the sun and moon looking into the sky, and a black stone sword in its palm. Strangely, the heart of the statue is hollow and empty.
"God's oracle, don't disobey!" Dugu Hexuan seemed to be talking to himself, suddenly sneered softly, and slowly turned his head and said, "With his order, I should kill all of you now." ”
Dugu Hexuan's indifferent and deep eyes made everyone hold their breath and retreat unconsciously. The whole village suddenly seemed to enter a world of ice and snow, and everything was silent. I heard him say slowly: "Your power has been there for too long, let me end this!"
Before the words fell, the giant sword in his hand slammed towards the stone statue. In an instant, the stone statue disappeared and ceased to exist, except for two eyes that fell to the ground, and the bones swirled. It's hard to look at.
"I'll find the other parts!" Dugu Hexuan said as if to an old friend. The left hand slowly closed the two stone eyes and put them into a brand new Ruyi bag.
Dugu Hexuan smiled faintly and said, "I have disobeyed the oracle of the gods. Until I die, you are all free, free to depart of your own free will. If you want to follow me on, I welcome it. ”
Gan Dan poked his little head and said softly: "Brother Dugu, what's going on with that black hole?"
"A trace of the Infinite Demon God's extraterrestrial soul was entangled and fought with several other mysterious forces, thus creating an Infinite Demon Cave. ”
Ji Rong said: "That is to say, the opportunity we got is the opportunity of the Infinite Demon God?"
"No!" Dugu Hexuan explained, "This black sword is the 'Infinite Holy Sword' of the Ancient Demon Soldier, but it does not belong to the 'Infinite Demon God'. The fact that you have survived here means that you have indeed received the opportunity of the 'Death Contract'. However, there is nothing to do with the 'Death Contract', the 'Infinite Holy Sword', and the 'Infinite Demon God'. ”
Lin Dong said: "Senior brother, isn't this very messy?"
"Yes! It is indeed too unreasonable for things that are unrelated to each other to appear in the same place and start each other!" Dugu Hexuan pondered for a moment and continued: "The strangeness must be in that forest. It's just that we can't go back. This may be our mission in life – to get to the bottom of the story. When he said that, he intentionally or unintentionally concealed the matter of the jade bone.
"In short, when you become stronger, you will bloom a different kind of life fireworks in your own life. Dugu Hexuan laughed loudly and said, "We can move on." ”
Shi Wengong saw Dugu Hexuan walking towards the outside of the small courtyard, hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "Alliance leader, you said these weirdness, will it be passed on to the next generation?"
"I know that, when we have children, won't we know!"
The mountains are like rings, lying between heaven and earth, eternity like the rising sun and the moon.
No one knows how long it has been silent. It's just that the tranquility here is shattered when a group of mysterious guests suddenly arrive. In the ancient woods, in the rocks, and in the ravines, you can see the shadow of swords and swords everywhere, the shouts of killing are endless, and the terrible sounds of fierce birds and beasts can be heard at any time. This went on for a whole month.
When this mysterious group of guests arrives at a pass, the mountain returns to its former tranquility.
This group of mysterious guests, along the direction of the river flowing from the pass, continued to hurry without looking back.
"Grandpa, I want my mother!"
"Little Maple Leaf, your mother is gone. No, she left a sister for you. ”
Outside the willow forest, next to the river, there are old and young. The old man's body was in his old age, holding back his grief and comforting the little boy beside him. The withered hands, trembling and holding the baby in swaddling clothes, lowered it slightly to let the young man next to him see clearly. The boy looked like he was seven or eight years old, his face was yellow, and his body was thin and somewhat deformed. When his shining eyes looked at the baby, he couldn't help but bite his lip and hold back the hatred in his heart.
"Senior brother, is this the legendary water burial?"
"Probably not. It's more like some kind of means to ward off evil spirits. ”
Just when the grandfather and grandson were silent in grief, more than a hundred people suddenly appeared by the small river. This group of people was like visitors from outside the sky, and the moment the grandfather and grandson saw it, they froze to the ground. I saw two people walking out of the crowd, quickly salvaging the female corpse in the river, and the other person squatted down to check and shook his head.
"Don't touch my mother!" A rough voice stopped drinking, and immediately rushed over, pushing with a pair of dry hands, and kept repeating: "Don't touch my mother!"
"Little brother, I can make your mother live for nine more months......"
"Really, I only want to be with my mother for a month, I only want to be ...... for a month!" the little boy cried, "Big brother, help me!
"My name is Dugu Hexuan, you can call me Brother Xinghe. Dugu Hexuan said, "It's just that even if your mother lives for nine more months, after nine months, you will still face the same pain." How do you choose?"
The little boy said firmly, "Nine months!"
Dugu Hexuan nodded, took out a pill and fed it, and after a while, the thin young woman woke up. The little boy cried and laughed excitedly, and hugged his mother's neck tightly. After the young mother regained some senses, she suddenly turned over and dragged her son away, still muttering a language that Dugu Hexuan and the others could not understand. The old man also came to his senses in fright, and immediately ran away.
Gu Jia scolded impatiently: "Are these people sick?"
Huang Shu said: "This is only a hundred miles away from the pass. But we didn't meet these people until here. This shows that these people have extremely limited mobility. And ......"
Song Wu suddenly interjected: "These people should not be the human race with the blood of the human race in the Hongmeng realm. ”
"Anyway, we are also guests, don't disturb the owner here. Dugu Hexuan pointed to the willow forest in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, you take someone to walk from the left." Senior Brother Ji, you lead someone to walk from the right. Don't act rashly, don't touch anything you see. ”
Everyone walked into the willow forest in an orderly manner. After walking for more than three zhang, Dugu Hexuan stopped and looked at a tree with a nine-disc trunk.
Gan Dan said softly: "This tree is so strange, it looks like a snake!"
Pang Si suddenly ran over, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Senior brother, how can there be the mark of my snake clan here?"
Dugu Hexuan said in a deep voice: "Sixth, can you be sure?"
Pang Si said resolutely: "Senior brother, this can't be wrong. Around my family's altar are thirteen such trees. ”
Dugu Hexuan was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know either." Tell everyone not to move around yet, and then talk about it. ”
"Ahh Dugu Hexuan flashed, rushing to the direction where the cry came from like a phantom, only to see one of Qiu Xu's subordinates, whose right arm was being devoured by the Nine Pan Monster Tree little by little.
"Alliance leader, save me!" the young man shouted indiscriminately. However, Dugu Hexuan was unusually calm and watched quietly.
When only half of the right arm was devoured, the Jiupanshu really came to life like a snake, slightly stretched and straightened a little. Suddenly, the ghost suddenly came, and the sky was dark. In a few moments, some kind of power in the forest was suddenly awakened, turning the entire willow forest into a wall, and suppressing the demonic power strongly. The demonic power seemed to have found a flaw, and frantically pounded the tree in front of everyone.
"I have to add another broken arm!" Dugu Hexuan shook his head helplessly, turned to look at the depths of the willow forest, and said to himself: "How can there be such a powerful ghost here?"
After a pause, he commanded, "Let's go!"
Qiu Xu's face was calm, his sword fell, cut off the man's arm, and said with a little anger: "Ah Ding, can you remember this lesson?"
The willow forest is only thirteen zhang deep, and at the other end of the forest, there are three rows of houses inside and outside the circular village, which is located in the middle of the willow forest surrounded by mountains on three sides and one side. In the middle of the village is a small black wooden house. At this moment, a mysterious force was coming out from there, frantically attacking the willow forest.
Dugu Hexuan turned his head suddenly, and suddenly felt that this willow forest was like a wall, firmly trapping this village. It's just that, after a long period of wear and tear, this wall is close to a dangerous wall, and it probably won't last long.
"How is this like the prison of the underworld?" Huang Chu muttered to himself, "How is this possible? Could it be that what Grandpa told me is real?"
"The Prison of the Underworld?" Dugu Hexuan's face changed, and he said, "Brother Huang, your ancestor, what is the relationship with the barbarians?"
"Hmm!" Huang Chu nodded and said, "Actually, no one can tell you about this matter anymore. But my grandfather said that the elders of the family have been passed down from generation to generation, and my family was passed down by a grandmother who was a mixture of human and barbarian. The people of the family will be cursed by the ancient barbarian forbidden curse 'Prison of the Underworld' for the rest of their lives, and it will be difficult for them to live forever and prosper. ”
Gong Xiao said: "The underworld, isn't it related to ghosts, how come it is related to the human race and the barbarians?"
"Because, there is a tribe among the barbarians, called the Heavenly Ghost Clan. ”
