Chapter 15: Windy Night

At night, the sky is full of stars, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, the moonlight enters the water, and the faint sprinkles to the world.

The east of Yancheng City is a vast and desolate forest, in which the ravines are vertical and horizontal, it has always been inaccessible, especially at night, it seems more eerie and terrifying, the moonlight is bright, but it is impossible to sprinkle the moonlight here.

The faint night wind is blowing, the trees are bursting, and the forest leaves are swaying, but at this moment, it sounds like a wolf howling, like a ghost roaring, which can't help but make people feel worried.

In an unknown place in the forest, there is a bonfire, which makes a "crackling" sound from time to time, and the fire swayes in the wind, dispelling the darkness around it.

There were two people sitting beside the fire, they were the two brothers and sisters Yu Shuang and Yu Xueying, who were going through this forest all the way.

Along the way, Yu Xueying was asleep on Yu Shuang's back, and at dusk, she woke up leisurely, she asked Yu Shuang a lot of words, Yu Shuang's heart was heavy, and she responded absent-mindedly, and later ignored her, only told her to go to a place called "Yulin City".

Yu Xueying has a lively temperament since she was a child, and she is not uncomfortable along the way.

"Brother, why are we going to Yulin City? Dad and Mother are you going?" Yu Xueying asked as she sat by the campfire, her hands on her cheeks, and her mouth pouted.

Yu Shuang threw a firewood into the bonfire, glanced at Yu Xueying, and said lightly: "Go, they are already waiting for us there." ”

Yu Xueying looked at her brother with an absent-minded look, and she frowned all the way, depressed, her brother's demeanor was very different from the past, she naturally didn't know anything about this incident, and she also followed her brother under the prevarication, after all, in her heart, her brother's position was unshakable.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy all the way today, haha, if you are unhappy, tell Ying'er, Ying'er will tell you jokes" Yu Xueying said happily.

The blushing firelight was reflected on her pretty face, the girl's innocent nature was undoubtedly revealed, and the fiery red clothes were particularly prominent at the moment, which seemed incompatible with this messy place.

Her big watery eyes looked at Yu Shuang with a slight wave, and the corners of her mouth rose, leaking out two rows of white teeth.

Yu Shuang saw it in her eyes, and her heart suddenly burst with warmth, in her life, especially for this naughty and lovely sister, even if the world is destroyed, as long as she is still well, so what?

But this thought flashed in his heart, after all, all relatives are connected by flesh and blood, he smiled slightly at his sister, but did not speak.

Yu Xueying saw it in her eyes, Xiumei picked it up, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said angrily: "It's not sincere at all." Saying that, she suddenly stood up, with a smile on her face, walked to Yu Shuang's side and squatted down, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Do you laugh or not, do you laugh or not...... Ha ha. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and scratched Yu Shuang's armpits......

"What do you do?...... Stop, haha. Yu Shuang couldn't help laughing when she was scratched like this, and stretched out her hand to block Yu Xueying's little hand that was screwed on for a while, and scratched for a while.

"Okay, okay, I admit defeat, I really can't do anything about you, you are not allowed to be so naughty in the future, you know?" Yu Shuang held Yu Xueying's hand, gave him a blank look, and said with a slight annoyance in his mouth.

But at this moment, the grief in my heart is diluted a lot by this feeling of joy, this sister in front of me is like her own pistachio, every time no matter how bad the mood is, seeing her smiling face can always make people's hearts feel a lot more comfortable.

Yu Xueying sat down beside him, with a smile on her face, threw a chopped firewood into the fire, and plucked it with a branch to make it even on the center of the fire. Suddenly, she snuggled and said, "Oh no, brother, I'm a little hungry." As she spoke, she stroked her stomach and stared at her belly, and a look of annoyance flashed on her pretty face in the firelight, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her stomach.

Yu Shuang stroked her sister's back, smiled bitterly, and said, "Glutton, I'll go to the forest to see if there are any hares, pheasants or whatever, don't run around here, shout loudly if there's anything, you know?"

Yu Xueying immediately raised her eyebrows, Huo Di got up, slapped her shoulder and back at Yu Shuang, and said with a smile: "Ying'er obeys!"

Yu Shuang was about to get up, when he suddenly remembered something, he took out a dagger from his arms, and on this dagger, a golden light slowly flowed, looming, although in the red firelight, it could not hide the faint brilliance of the dagger itself.

On the dagger body of the dagger, there is an earth dragon carved from an unknown material, showing a turquoise color, crystal clear, from the tip of the dagger to the dagger body hovering on it, the dragon's mouth is angry, the mouth contains a red gem, a pair of dragon eyes as if two drops of blood are dripping on it, condensing but not dissipating, as if in anger at the person holding it.

This dragon was carved to life, Yu Shuang stared at the dragon eyes for a while, and there was a feeling of fear that arose, as if there was a feeling of bewilderment, he suddenly closed his eyes, looked away, and did not dare to look at the dragon eyes again.

A faint and gentle feeling came from the dagger, Yu Shuang looked at it again, and found that this dagger was flat and blunt, about a foot long, and its weight seemed to be slightly heavier than that of ordinary daggers. Since there is no sharp blade, Yu Shuang thinks that it may not be a sharp weapon to hurt people, since the letter says that Pan Xincheng knows this thing, it is better to give it to him to see.

"Brother, this dagger is so strange, show me. Yu Xueying said and took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "This dagger is so strange, the dragon carved on it is a bit interesting, like the real thing." ”

Yu Xueying said that she was quite fond of it, and her bright eyes looked at it without blinking.

Yu Shuang stood up and looked around, only to see that except for the bright light from the bonfire, everything around was pitch black. He paused and said, "Don't run around here, I'll be back in a while." ”

Yu Xueying turned her head in response, and waved her hand to Yu Shuang happily. Yu Shuang smiled lightly, turned around and walked into the darkness.

The bonfire made a "crackling" sound, and the surrounding silence was particularly harsh, and the sound of insects on the ground was particularly harsh at the moment.

Yu Xueying squatted down by the bonfire, looked at the dagger in her hand for a while, and then put it into her arms. I don't know where the wind blew, tilted the bonfire, Yu Xueying didn't feel a little cold, she hugged her knees with her arms, and moved her body closer to the bonfire, and suddenly felt a lot warmer.

I don't know how long later, she was a little sleepy, her eyes were closed in confusion, her head shook, she actually knocked on her knees, and suddenly she came to her senses, she turned her head to look, and found that she was still alone at the campfire, and her brother had not returned.

"It's dark here, I wonder if my brother is lost?" she said from the bottom of her mouth. I couldn't help but have a worried look on my face, and thought: There is not even a ghost here, let alone a road, what if I really can't find myself?

At this time, the forest wind suddenly blew faintly, blowing the ground branches and leaves "salsa", she stared at the direction where her brother left for a long time, all she could see was a piece of darkness, and the bonfire also shook with the direction of the wind, she always felt that something in the dark was staring at her, which made her heart suddenly frightened, and her mouth was flattened, and she was almost about to cry.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she was overjoyed when she heard the sound and immediately stood up.

She turned around and was about to shout, when she suddenly realized that something was wrong, because in the depths of the dense forest, in the darkness was not the footsteps of a person, but a series of messy and tedious footsteps, and it sounded heavy, and the person who came was definitely not my brother.

She looked in that direction quietly, but it was still pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

The footsteps gradually approached, she was afraid, and did not dare to leave, slowly took two steps back, but her back was against a towering ancient tree, she immediately came to the idea, raised her trouser legs, and climbed up with the big tree.

Yu Xueying has been lively and active since she was a child, and climbing trees is really commonplace for her, and she climbed the tree to dig bird eggs by herself a few years ago. For this reason, there is no shortage of boards.

He climbed on a tree branch, poked his head out and looked down, the branches and leaves around him were shady, blocking her body tightly, if he didn't go up to the tree to investigate, he really couldn't find her.

After less than a cup of tea, several large men dressed in gray clothes came out of the darkness, all dressed in the same costume, and with a skeleton in the shape of a human head tattooed on their chests.

The man who walked first had a red skeleton on his chest, unlike the others behind him, who were all white. They walked over to the campfire and looked around, as if they were looking for something.

Suddenly, a man with a white skull tattoo on his chest walked up to the campfire, and the bonfire reflected his face, and he saw that his face was withered, his eyes were sharp, and he grabbed a little dirt on the ground with his hands, and then brought it to his nose and sniffed it. After a pause, he said to the man with the red skeleton tattooed behind him: "The smell hasn't dissipated yet, and it shouldn't have gone far." ”

The man in the red skull costume heard this, his body seemed to tremble, and he slowly moved to the bonfire, Yu Xueying looked at him silently, and at first glance he saw that this person was carrying a white cloth bag, holding the mouth of the bag with one hand and straddled his shoulder, there seemed to be a faint movement in the cloth bag, as if it was containing a living thing, Yu Xueying was puzzled in his heart, so he continued to look down.

The man in the red skull costume was not very old, he looked no more than thirty years old, and the bare head seemed to reflect the red glow of the bonfire, and she couldn't see clearly, so she only heard him ask faintly: "Is there anyone who came here before us?"

A man with a white skeleton tattooed behind him: "The one we designed to catch just now, looking at his clothes, it should be a person from the righteous path 'Lingyun Sect', in this world, I am afraid that the fastest is their faction." ”

The middle-aged man in the red skeleton seemed to groan for a moment, and turned to the few people behind him: "We must not allow other sects to preempt us, if there is really a treasure left behind in its sect, our 'Yuehua Valley' valley master will definitely not forgive us and others, do you understand?"

"Yes. The people behind him clasped their fists and saluted back.

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the dark night sky, with a heavy echo, empty and secret, and said: "Yuehua Valley small sect, how dare you be presumptuous here? If you know each other, go back to the valley as soon as possible, and let it be safe! Haha......"

"Dao Ji Ancestor?" everyone wondered.

The faces of everyone present changed drastically, revealing horror and hatred, and they looked at each other, and there was a lot of surprise in their eyes. There was only one person with the usual face, and that person was a middle-aged man dressed in a red skull costume.

He stepped forward, raised his head to look at the sky, as if looking for the source of the sound, and only after a while did he look at the gloomy night sky, and said slowly: "The ancestor is in my holy path faction, and he has admired him for a long time, and the younger generation is the eldest disciple of the lord of the 'Yuehua Valley' Yuxiu Valley, King Kening. Can you please ask the ancestor to come and speak!"

The "Yuehua Valley" in the mouth is a small sect outside the six major sects of the Demon Dao today, the establishment time is not long, and there are no contemporary famous figures in the sect, the Demon Dao faction is different from the righteous Dao faction, open and secret battles are common things, and the trend of dumping is no less than the two righteous and demonic paths.

Yu Xueying lay on the branches, and she didn't dare to take a breath, and looked at the field quietly.

Suddenly, from the night sky came a burst of smug laughter, a strange laugh that sounded worse than crying.

"Hahaha...... King Kening?" Daoji Ancestor still didn't show up, and the old man's voice came from the night sky, "In vain, there is a word 'king' in your name, why are you so stupid?" Yu Xiu was a defeated subordinate of the old man many years ago, don't you hear that 'good birds choose trees and perch'? I see that you are talented, but your hair is a little less, it doesn't matter, it can grow, it is better to worship under my door, I will accept you as a closed disciple, what do you think?"

King Kening had a sneer on his face, and sneered: "Thank you Ancestor for your appreciation, I heard that many years ago, in the battle between the Righteous Demon and the Demon, the predecessor and the contemporary 'Dao Zun' Yu Qiong fought each other, and the number was amputated, I don't know if the rumors are true or false, can I ask the ancestor to show up, let me test it in the next test." He smiled the whole time as he spoke, but the conversation became colder and colder.

Daoji Ancestor didn't reply for a long time, but King Kening's subordinates turned frightened, Daoji Ancestor's prestige in the Demon Dao can be described as thunderous, he joined the Demon Dao Western Regions faction "Demon Knife Mountain" faction, it is rumored that he cultivated a pair of Yin and Yang corpses, this Yin and Yang corpse is a pair of infatuated men and women who were born on the same day and month in the same year, and died on the same day and month in the same year.

Hearing King Koning's sarcasm, several of his subordinates behind him couldn't help but shudder.

After a long time, Daoji Ancestor snorted coldly, and said with a sneer: "Yes, the old man pointed out to you that you don't take the clear road, but you have to break through to the road of death, or okay, today the old man will fulfill you! Come up!"

King Kening put the cloth bag in his hand at the root of the tree under Yu Xueying, and said solemnly to the people behind him: "Array!"

Subsequently, everyone in Yuehua Valley formed a strange magic circle with both hands, and with a sound of "Hugh", they turned into six gray lights and galloped into the sky.

The field was empty at the moment, except for Yu Xueying and the mysterious cloth bag.

The forest was so lush that even the moonlight could not shine in, let alone see them fighting in the sky.

Yu Xueying suddenly had a strong curiosity about the white cloth bag under her, she looked at the cloth bag from the tree, the cloth bag shook suddenly, and changed from a leaning posture to lying flat, but there was no sound.

The cloth bag faintly flashed with gray light, and a white rope with a faint silver light was tied at the mouth of the bag, and it was clear at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary cloth bag.

She came down from the tree, looked at the bag carefully, and with doubts on her face, she said to herself: This must be a beast, right?

She crossed her waist with one hand and scratched her head with the other, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally decided to open the cloth bag to take a look.

Also, what can suppress the curiosity of a young girl?

She reached out and gently kicked the white cloth bag, which felt like it was kicking on the flesh, soft when it touched her foot, as if there was a faint warmth coming from her red embroidered shoes.

She crouched down and looked closely, and finally fixed her gaze on the sealed rope, which she had just seen clearly in the tree, and if there was the slightest hint of breaking free in the bag, the white rope would flash silver, but it would be tighter.

She gently stretched out her hand to the rope, intending to try to untie the rope, but she didn't expect that as soon as her hand touched the rope, the light of the strange rope would instantly brighten, and suddenly a strong force surged towards her, and she was shocked out with a "wow".

Fortunately, the fallen leaves on the ground were very thick, she was not injured, but her chest was still a faint pain, her face was bitter, she reached out and gently rubbed her chest, her face flashed with annoyance, and she pointed to the cloth bag and said, "Hmph, if you resist, I will set fire to roast you." ”

After saying that, he walked over again, squatted down, intending to solve it again with his bare hands.

At this time, a slightly tired-sounding voice suddenly came from the cloth bag: "Girl, are you untying this cloth bag?"

Yu Xueying was startled with an "ah", took two steps back, and said strangely: "You bag, can you speak?"

The cloth bag seemed to be stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's not that the bag can speak, but that I'm trapped in the bag, and the girl is a cultivator?"

Yu Xueying heard it clearly this time, the voice was soft and weak, more like a childish voice of her age, a teenager.

Yu Xueying scratched her head and said, "I'm not a cultivator, are you a good person or a bad person?" If it's a good person, I'll let you out, and if it's a bad person, you can stay in it honestly." ”

The man in the cloth bag paused again, and only said slowly after a while: "I am a disciple of the righteous path 'Lingyun Sect', my name is Xikong, and I was ordered by the master to go down the mountain and come here to investigate the truth, but halfway through, I fell into the tricks of the people in the demon path, and I was imprisoned, and I only hated myself for being too light on the enemy." I've heard what just happened, and if you're not a cultivator, you can't stay here for long, so you'd better leave quickly. If the people in the devil's path find out, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the clutches of the devil. ”

Yu Xueying pondered for a moment, thinking that this person was not talking like those people just now, and he himself was difficult to protect, but he still cared about his own comfort, besides, none of the guys who came out just now were like good people, where is the reason for bad people to catch bad people?

As soon as she thought of this, she knew in her heart that the person in the bag must be a good person, and she had to save it. But after thinking about it again, what if she got into trouble and her brother got angry? In a short period of time, all thoughts came flooding back, and a hesitant look appeared on her face.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and said to the person in the bag: "I'll save you first, but you can't tell my brother, you know? ”

Yu Xueying is young, and she doesn't know the situation here and now, which is really dangerous.

The voice in the bag came again, with an anxious look: "Why don't you leave?" I understand your kindness, you are not a cultivator, you can't save me, this bag is the 'snatching bag' in the Demon Dao, you can't untie it." ”

When Yu Xueying heard this, her heart became angry, and she said angrily: "You look down on people, I will rescue you." ”

The man in the bag hurriedly said: "The girl misunderstood, I didn't mean to look down on you, it's just that this magic weapon is very tight, and the subordinates really don't want to drag the girl down." ”

Yu Xueying turned a deaf ear to his words, and still stretched out her hand to the bag, but the result was the same as the result of Fang Cai, Taoist magic weapons all contain divine power, how can they be compared to ordinary things?

Yu Xueying stood up again, this time the impact made her dizzy, and even her steps staggered a little, but she just refused to give in.

Hearing the footsteps gradually walking in, he suddenly said, "Don't try it with your bare hands, I don't know if the girl has a sharp blade or something to defend herself?"

Yu Xueying touched her body when she heard this, and suddenly remembered that she was still carrying a blunt and seamless dagger in her arms, she took it out of her arms, this dagger flashed with a faint golden light next to the bonfire, and her tentacles were warm, she was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered if her body temperature was warm?

But the dagger had no blade and could not be cut, which made her very distressed, and she hesitated for a moment, but finally squatted next to the mouth of the bag, wanting to try it with the water chestnut of the dagger.

Unexpectedly, she just stretched out the dagger to the mouth of the bag, and the mouth of the bag seemed to have spirituality, so she moved back autonomously, avoiding the blunt blade, and she was a little jealous.

Yu Xueying said "Huh", and stretched out the dagger to the mouth of the bag again, this time the mouth of the bag could not be retreated, but at the moment when the dagger touched the rope, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the white light of the rope flashed, and it was broken in response.

In the sky, there was a sudden cry of pain, Yu Xueying's body was shocked, and she immediately heard it, it was the voice of King Kening.

She immediately put away her dagger and wanted to escape, but there was a loud roar from the sky: "Where did the stinky girl come from, dare to break my magic weapon, but she is impatient to live?"

It turned out that this "snatching bag" was connected with King Kening's spiritual will, Yu Xueying's move can be said to have greatly hurt his vitality, and the next moment, the wind in the forest was loud, and Yu Xueying's brain was buzzing, and he was unstable but he fell to the ground, scared in his heart, and cried in his mouth: "Brother! Brother......

I don't know where Yu Shuang went?

A green fairy sword in the sky, like summer autumn water, was inserted from above Yu Xueying's head.

The yin wind around her was howling, and the branches and leaves in the forest avoided one after another, how fast the speed was, Yu Xueying's eyes widened, watching the fairy sword galloping towards her falling from the top of her head, she wanted to run, but her legs were weak, and the wind was blowing, so she couldn't stand up at all.

It seems inevitable that it will be done.

In an instant, in the moment before you are about to die, who will be thinking in your heart?

Her eyes were as bright as water, reflecting the tip of the sword that was gradually getting bigger, and the next moment, she turned her face sideways in horror, closed her eyes tightly, and did not dare to look at it again.
