Chapter 21: The Hidden Ghost
γEast Kunlun, Small Vertical and Horizontal Valley, and North Hundred Milesγ
There was nothing to say all night, until the next morning, led by Zhao tenon and tenon, and the four of them also bid farewell to Qingyang Temple.
After another half a day's journey, Fang Xiaoqian and his party also came to a big mountain, and there was a small hole exposed in front of the mountain. Zhao tenon and tenon stood at the front with a big pot on his back, and said at this time: "This is it, those people in the demon path are hiding in the mountains." β
"How many of them are there?" asked Xue Taozhi.
Zhao replied: "Master and I have met them once, and it is estimated that there should be dozens of people. β
"Let's go. After Ji Nianyao finished speaking, he jumped into the cave, Bai Xianshu and Xue Taozhi followed closely behind, Fang Xiaoqian floated Feng Xingpan out of his back, stepped on it, and also floated into the cave.
"He is worthy of being a disciple of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and he looks like his cultivation is not high, but he has a magic weapon in his body. Zhao Mao sighed, and jumped into it with one step.
Inside the cave, it was extremely narrow at first, and it gradually opened up after walking about dozens of zhang.
"This cave is very deep!" Bai Xianshu said as he walked, the stone walls on both sides were extremely damp, and there was a slight foul smell, Xue Taozhi wrinkled his little nose, frowned, and said, "Why do people in the Demon Dao just like this kind of dirty place, and it won't be some disgusting person when you meet it later, right?"
"No, although most of the people in those demons are men, the leader is a very beautiful woman. Zhao said honestly.
Looking at Zhao Qianmao's serious appearance, Xue Taozhi couldn't help but secretly slander herself, how could she praise others for her beauty in front of a woman, let alone an enemy.
Bai Xianshu couldn't help laughing, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone be careful, it is very likely that the movement of us coming in has been noticed by the other party, and maybe there will be an ambush by the Demon Dao." β
"Don't be a crow's mouth, last time you said you would meet a monster, you really met a group of black demons, this time you ......" Xue Taozhi couldn't help but pout. Bai Xianshu was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I'm also here to let everyone be vigilant and take precautions." β
A few people talked as they walked, going deeper and deeper.
At the bottom of the mountain, there is a large cave with several entrances connected around it.
In the center is a large open space, dozens of men dressed in black are sitting cross-legged, in the middle of them are a woman and a man, the woman is about two or eight years old, wearing a purple tight robe, with a long arc of broad-bladed rings behind her back, and the other person is wrapped in a pitch-black robe, unable to see clearly, only the figure is very thin.
In front of the girl, there was nothing but a long vine covered with thorns, on which there were no fruits and no flowers, only five red leaves, glowing with a faint halo.
Everyone closed their eyes and meditated, and suddenly, the eyes of the girl led by her suddenly opened, revealing a pair of delicate purple pupils, and the corners of her mouth were hooked, revealing a few bright teeth, "There are a few 'mice' jumping in." β
The one in the black robe was an old man, he stood up, and said in a dry voice: "Old man, I'll take someone to see it first, the young master doesn't have to worry." β
The girl shook her head and said, "These guys' cultivation is not low, don't act rashly, it's better to wait for them here." There are still a few days left before the tongues can be picked, so it's better to be careful. β
"Listen to the young master's orders. The old man nodded, then turned to the two black-clothed men on the side and said, "Zeng Yu and Cheng Junshan, you two go to find out the details of the people who came, go and return quickly, and you don't have to fight." β
"Yes!"
The two men spoke in unison, and then got up and ran into a hole.
"Brother Zhao, what is in this big pot on your back?" Bai Xianshu was looking at the big pot behind Zhao Qian at this time, and asked curiously.
"What I cultivate is the 'Wushan Gu Technique' that used to be in the vein of Witch Wolf Mountain, and this seven-star pot is naturally filled with worm Gu. After Zhao Yan Mao finished speaking, he sighed again: "I see that each of your swords is really worthy of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and each of them is equipped with a famous sword that can only be seen on the "Qing Mingzhi Soldier's Might". β
"Haha, it's all something outside the body! And isn't Brother Zhao's seven-star pot also a famous magic weapon in "Qing Mingzhi Bingwei". Bai Xianshu smiled heartily and said.
Zhao Qian Mao shook his head slightly, his face was bitter, "My Seven Star Pot is the only thing in Qingyang Guan that can be put on the table, and it is ranked at the bottom of the "Qing Ming Zhi", and it is still incomparable to you." β
Bai Xianshu waved his hand, although he was also proud of being in the Lingxiao Sword Sect for a while, but it was not good not to give the other party a step, "Brother Zhao is serious, the most important thing is his own cultivation! β
Zhao tenon and tenon also agreed, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and now he also had a good impression of the white-robed young man beside him.
At this moment, suddenly two black shadows flashed in the depths of the passage in front of everyone, how keen Ji Nianyao was, invaded the house and came out of the sheath directly, and rushed over with a sword.
"It's the people of the Demon Dao!" Zhao Mao shouted urgently, and also ran forward, and the remaining three followed.
In the dark, the man named Zeng Yu secretly screamed "not good" in his heart, he and Cheng Junshan beside him were just here to explore each other's bottoms, and they didn't plan to show up at all, but even if they were so far away, they were still caught by Ji Nianyao, and they naturally wanted to retreat when their bodies were exposed.
"Zeng Yu, you go first! These guys are extraordinary, I'll hold them back. Cheng Junshan said in a low voice, and then turned into a black shadow and attacked Ji Nianyao, who was running towards the leader.
"Brother Cheng, ...... you" Zeng Yu has always had a very good relationship with this Cheng Junshan, and he has experienced several life and death together, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a comrade. At that moment, Zeng Yu saw Cheng Junshan going to danger alone, and it was not easy to escape directly, so he had to grit his teeth and follow.
"Heh, do the two thieves dare not run? Ji Nianyao couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she saw that the other party did not run away, but instead faced the battle.
At the moment when Ji Nianyao and Cheng Junshan were at a loss, the house invaded the house with a scarlet glow, and the air was cut through, making a piercing cracking sound.
Cheng Junshan used a pair of three-toothed long claws, and when he saw the long sword coming, his body fell slightly, and his claws intersected to block this slash.
At the same time, Zeng Yu's figure was also extremely fast, and he had already rushed in front of Ji Nianyao, and he held a steel knife and slashed at the latter horizontally. Ji Nianyao didn't have a trace to dodge, his eyes narrowed slightly, his true qi secretly flowed, and the light on the stalk invaded the house much more......
Not far away, Fang Xiaoqian and the others only saw a few strokes of blood-red sword light, and a black shadow fell to the ground heavily, as if its vitality had been cut off.
After all, Cheng Junshan's cultivation is too different, and he died in just a few moves, although Zeng Yu was resentful in his heart, he finally knew how terrible the young man in front of him was. Turning into a black shadow, Zeng Yu rushed into the depths of the passage, and Ji Nianyao did not chase after him, he could see that although this person's cultivation was not good, the speed of escape was even a little worse than his own.
Slowly, everything just now was just a few breaths, Bai Xianshu and the others also ran over at this moment, he looked at the depths of the passage, and said, "Why are the people of this demon path so fast?"
"Don't worry, he can't escape. Zhao Qian said, and then more than a dozen fist-sized poisonous bees flew out of the seven-star pot behind him, burrowing into the darkness in front of him, and soon there was a painful scream from it.
"It's a Xuan Bee!" Fang Xiaoqian recognized this thing, it was a kind of Gu insect recorded in "Qing Ming Zhi Demon Wind".
"I still have a breath for that person, go!" Zhao Jiu Mao finished speaking, and everyone chased after him.
When I saw the black shadow man again, there were already several large blood holes in his body, and he was bleeding. Before he could breathe, Zeng Yu spasmed on the ground with his mouth open and painfully, and his face was already a little distorted.
Zhao Qian Mao waved his hand, those Xuan bees slowly flew back into the Seven Star Pot, and the Bai Xianshu on the side asked loudly, "Who are you?"
"Hmm......" Zeng Yu gritted his teeth and glared at the latter fiercely, and Zhao Qian couldn't help but threaten: "Be honest!
Thinking of the terrifying nature of those Xuan Bees just now, Zeng Yu couldn't help but shudder, and replied with a gloomy expression: "We are the people of the Ghost Hidden Sect......
"Ghost Hidden Sect?" Bai Xianshu wondered, he hadn't heard of the name of this sect, but it was obviously a demonic way.
"How many of you are there, and what is the purpose of this?"
Zeng Yu grinned in pain, and blood slowly trickled down from his mouth and nose, "Plus the door master and elders, a total of thirty-seven people...... The master of the sect wants to quietly expand in East Kunlun and establish a large sect ......"
"Phew, only thirty people still want to expand into a big sect, or in East Kunlun, how do you sect masters have a long brain?" Bai Xianshu couldn't help but scold, and then took out Feng Er and took advantage of the situation to cut off Zeng Yu's head, so that he was finally freed from the pain.
In the underground cavern, a fist-sized black bee slowly flew out of the passage.
Whoosh β
The purple-clothed girl was really angry, and the arc-shaped blade behind her suddenly flew out and slashed an arc in mid-air, and flew back to its original place, and the Xuan Bee was also cut in two.
At this time, several figures also jumped out of the entrance of the passage, Bai Xianshu, Ji Nianyao, and Xue Taozhi stood at the front with swords, Fang Xiaoqian stood with a sword, Feng Xingpan hung beside him like a shield, and Zhao tenon and tenon were at the end, and the Seven Star Pot had been removed from his back and erected on the ground.
"No wonder this demon path gathers here, it turns out that there are heavenly and earthly treasures in the world. As soon as the white immortal book came, he saw the vine man behind the purple-clothed girl, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
Zhao Qian didn't speak, he couldn't help but think of his master's advice in his heart, but there were a lot of demons in front of him to be exterminated, if he snatched the Tianci Twin Tongue with the disciples of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, not only was he not sure, but it would make things complicated, he could only take one step at a time, and if he could really find an opportunity, it would not be too late to get it.
A group of black-clothed people stood up together, and the purple-clothed girl and the black-robed old man in the center also slowly got up, and she looked at Fang Xiaoqian who came
The group, when they saw the waist card engraved with the word "Ling Xiao" on the waists of the four people in front of them and Zhao Mortise and tenon who was holding the seven-star pot at the end, they couldn't help but smile evilly, "No wonder the defeated generals still dare to come, it turns out that they have found a Lingxiao Sword Sect to be such a backer." β
"Witch, you hurt my master with treacherous tricks, otherwise do you really think that you can beat our Qingyang Guan?" Zhao said with an angry face.
"Hmm, although the witch is good, but I have a name! Remember, don't wait a while to die at anyone's hands, I don't know, my name is Liu Xiaoyi, and I am the master of the Ghost Hidden Sect. The girl's purple eyes shrank slightly, and then said: "But it's good that you guys came, I was also going to Qingyangguan to slaughter, after all, you are more suitable for being a mountain gate than me." β
"Hmph! even a witch dares to speak out!" Xue Taozhi said coldly, her beauty belongs to the kind full of fairy spirit, and although Liu Xiaoyi in front of her is not very old, her figure is already bumpy and convex, and there is a slight tendency to let go, and there is a kind of charm that Xue Taozhi does not have. Women in the world are sometimes more difficult to understand than thousand-year-old cheats, Xue Taozhi felt uncomfortable when she saw the other party for the first time, and she didn't know if she was because of the other party's demon identity or for some other reason.
Not only was Xue Taozhi angry, but Liu Xiaoyi also saw her inexplicably disgusted, and immediately ordered the old man beside him: "Elder Ding, you go and tear open that little girl's mouth with sharp teeth." β
"Yes. The hoarse voice in the black robe responded, and there was a stirring in the black robe, and there was a dance of true qi, and then a sharp long thorn was exposed in both of his sleeves, hanging down to the ground. With one step, the old man surnamed Ding jumped into the air and attacked Xue Taozhi.
