Chapter 11: Weird!
The sky was dark, the mist was shrouded, and the whole barren mountain was mixed with dampness. The fairy deer turned out to be the demon at the pinnacle of the true realm, although it was not as good as the brown bear, but it was also very powerful, and the injuries it suffered were almost healed, and it also became active, and played with Da Bai from time to time.
Zhou Qian sat on Da Bai's back, looking nervous, he had been thinking about the strange things that had happened before. Apprenticeship, calamity, this is too ethereal and dreamy, like a dream, and now he is thinking about whether there is really a will in this world, this question slowly appeared in his mind, lingering.
"Go back and ask your father, and he must know. ”
Zhou Qian is not a rigid person, and he will not do things without a clue. As he spoke, he stroked Xiaobai on his shoulder, looking at Xiaobai, Zhou Qian had an indescribable sense of intimacy in his heart. And Xiaobai obediently lay on his shoulder, a pair of strange pupils kept observing all the new things around him, sticking to Zhou Qian and refusing to leave.
Zhou Gan's trip can be said to have gained a lot, not only brought back the beast of the mortal realm, but also a so-called "fairy deer", although the mountain thief said the same thing, but Zhou Qian thought that everything could not be listened to one side of the word, the origin of the deer, or go back and then make a conclusion, all in all, he had a smooth journey and did not face the danger of life. Regarding the mystery of this barren mountain, Zhou Qian also heard from his ancestors that this barren mountain is full of weirdness, and there are many ghosts and monsters.
It is rumored that in this barren mountain, there is a mysterious herb that can live the dead, flesh and bones. But this grass has to be watered with blood, non-human blood does not grow, and it must be living blood, otherwise it will not survive, and what is even more terrifying is that there is an ancient tribe here to guard and protect this grass. Every day, they hunt people who enter the barren mountains and water them with their blood until the blood runs dry, and the cycle repeats itself, and the herbs endure.
No one has ever seen the specific location of that tribe, and no one knows the purpose of that tribe, but what is certain is that if you do, you will die!
In addition, there is a group of people, not exactly, they are dressed in black armor, no head, only limbs and bodies, each holding a blood-colored spear in their hands, from time to time haunting this barren mountain, as if looking for something, ten thousand years as one, according to legend, there was a shocking power, to spy on the secrets of this barren mountain, and the leader of this group of people, and finally seriously injured and dying, before dying, look up to the sky and sigh:
"It turns out that this is the case, and the Tao is in... Grave... The Tao is in ......"
Then he sat down and died.
Since then, this barren mountain has become taboo, but it is often because of the mystery that it can arouse people's curiosity and want to explore. Especially the old monster who has not much life, or the robber and thief who does the business of licking blood from the knife edge, makes this barren mountain even more dangerous.
Zhou Qian was clever, recalling what he had just done, and now he had palpitations.
"Thinking about how dangerous this barren mountain is, blame me for being reckless for a while, and I must leave quickly, and I must not meet those ghostly people and things. ”
Zhou Qian muttered quietly, no longer as optimistic as when he came, he became cautious, Da Bai also let out a long hiss, his four hooves flew like flying, and the brown bear and the fairy deer also followed, turning into a streamer and disappearing into the distance......
At this time, there were three figures on the edge of the barren mountain, constantly passing through, two of them were Zhou Zhen and Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng said what Zhou Qian had done, shook his head helplessly, and felt a little guilty, Zhou Zhen's face was full of anger, but there was still a trace of tension and concern in this anger.
As for the last person, it was a white-robed man, carrying a long sword, with a handsome face, sword eyebrows, and silent along the way, without the slightest change in expression, as if nothing could attract his attention.
"Brother Li, I hope you can agree to what Zhou has entrusted me. ”
Zhou Zhen smiled at the white-robed man, with some expectation in his eyes.
The white-robed man nodded, and did not answer, but Zhang Feng came and went in the clouds, and he couldn't hear why, but he said that this barren mountain was weird, and this white-robed man was helping the head of the family to find Zhou Qian, so he was a little more sure.
"Xiaobei, hurry... Go, go back and report to the master, there is a book from heaven in this barren mountain, if I can teach it, I will be able to... Dominate one side, overwhelm the Sword Sect, and thus become one of... Remember, don't tell anyone but the master!"
Two figures appeared in a forest on the outskirts of the barren mountain, an old man and a young man, the old man sat cross-legged on the ground, dressed in a gray robe, with four red flames on it, very eye-catching. The young man was thin, but white and clean, he looked very well-behaved, although his clothes were ordinary green shirts, but they were washed white, and he wore them on the young man's body, matching with the purity in his eyes, revealing a sense of agility.
The old man was short of breath at this time, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face was bloodless, but he struggled with his last strength to hold the young man's hand and said tremblingly.
"Uncle Shi, you'll be fine, I'll protect you. ”
The young man clenched his right hand into a fist and said firmly.
"Haha... Silly boy, I'm running out of oil and can't hold on for long, you go quickly, or else... Otherwise, they will all catch up. ”
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of love.
"Live well, remember not to avenge me, don't ......"
Before the old man finished speaking, a black thread suddenly appeared on his body, at first there was only one, but in a blink of an eye, it became ten, hundred, ten thousand, covering the old man's body, and the whole person looked like a black mist, and then slowly dissipated.
"Ahh Uncle Shi, what's wrong with you, don't you have an accident,"
The boy was so frightened that he cried, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to reach out and touch those black silks in a hurry...
At this moment, the space was distorted, and a figure suddenly appeared from it, silently appearing in front of the young man, this figure was very tall, a head taller than ordinary people, wearing a black cloak, covering his face.
"Little baby, don't move, this black silk can't be touched. ”
As soon as this figure appeared, he said to the young man, his voice hoarse and extremely unpleasant!
"It's you, it's you who injured my uncle, who are you, I want to avenge my uncle!"
Although the young man's body looked a little weak, he was very stubborn at this time, and his eyes were full of determination.
"I see that you have excellent roots and bones, and you are the most immortal among the people I have seen, why don't you worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you the method of immortality, what do you think?!"
"Hmph... You hurt my uncle, how can I worship you as a teacher? I will kill you and avenge my uncle!" the young man clenched his fists and was about to step forward.
"Your uncle is a mortal person, he just borrowed my hand, he has fallen into the forbidden curse, and there is no way to live! And he saw something that he shouldn't have seen, as for you, I can kill you with a raised hand, so why bother to save your life, it's just that I don't have a disciple in my life, it's a little ridiculous!"
The man looked up at the sky and sighed.
immediately stared at the teenager and forcibly took him away. However, when he was about to touch the boy's shirt, he suddenly took it back and laughed.
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet someone who is destined, when will you hide until you have to?"
He laughed again.
"Uh..."
Zhou Qian was speechless for a while, poked his head out from behind a big tree, he didn't expect to be discovered, he had been here for a long time, and he had also heard their conversation. I only felt that the tall figure in front of me was very dangerous, and I had a very bad feeling.
"Well, I'm passing by, and I accidentally listened to your conversation, I'm sorry. ”
Zhou Qian touched his head and said with a wry smile. Then he walked out, followed by a brown bear and a fairy deer, Da Bai, as for Xiao Bai, a pair of strange pupils were staring at the person in front of him, very dignified.
"You little baby is really amazing, amazing! Well, in this case, this seat will not pass by, no longer stay, as for you, if you want to worship me as a teacher, light this lamp!"
As he spoke, a bronze lamp appeared between his palms and gave it to the young man. As soon as the footsteps stepped forward, the space trembled, distorted, and formed a whirlpool, and the figure disappeared into it in a moment, and then, from it, there was a hoarse laughter...
Zhou Qian was trembling, very puzzled, and felt inexplicable, thinking that he was in big trouble, but who knew that the result was indeed like this!
"This brother, thank you for the grace of relieving the siege, I Du Xiaobei will remember it in my heart!"
The young man in the green shirt bowed to Zhou Qian, with gratitude in his eyes.
"Uh... That one... That one... I don't know why, it's weird, I'm nothing special, but who that cloaked man is looks terrifying. ”
Zhou Qian smiled awkwardly and diverted the topic.
"I don't know, I only know that the man killed my uncle, and I don't admit it, I saw with my own eyes that he shot at my uncle!"
Du Xiaobei was holding the bronze lamp in his hand, and he was about to shake it off, but he suddenly found that the lamp seemed to be stuck to his hand, and he couldn't get rid of it.
"It's so... It's so weird, this hellish place really has everything, it's all weird people and things. ”
Zhou Qian once again understood the horror of the barren mountain.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Zhou Qian, I'm eight years old this year, I'm very happy to meet you here, it's really fate," Zhou Qian said with a smile.
"Well, I, Du Xiaobei, am eleven years old this year, followed my uncle to the barren mountain, encountered a strange thing, and as a result, my uncle passed away. ”
Du Xiaobei's face showed sadness, and tears rolled out of his eyes.
"It's better to go to my house first, it's good to take care of me along the way, my father should also be looking for me, let's continue to talk in detail when we get home." ”
Du Xiaobei just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but suddenly Zhou Qian immediately shouted into the distance, waving his hands.
"Father, here I am... I'm here..."
Du Xiaobei also turned his head to look, and there were three figures in the distance, which were clear in an instant.
"Hmph... Do you have to rush Lao Tzu to death to be happy?"
Zhou Zhen scolded angrily, but there was a trace of relief and excitement in his expression.
And Zhang Feng stared at Zhou Qian even more closely, and when he saw Zhou Gan behind him, he also coughed dryly, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
And the white-robed man still didn't say a word, glanced at Zhou Qian, paused at Xiaobai, then looked at Du Xiaobei, and also noticed the bronze lamp in his hand.
"You... Are you a member of the Sword Sect?!" Du Xiaobei said in surprise when he looked at the man.
