Volume 1: Unyielding - The Body Dies, the Army Soul Is Immortal Chapter 8: The Maiden
As night fell, clusters of fires lit around the Falling Stone Tribe, illuminating a high platform in the center of the martial arts training ground.
The wooden platform is more than five meters high, and the top platform is covered with layers of red veils on all sides, forming a separate space. There is a faint light inside, and you can faintly see the two graceful figures inside.
The breeze blows, and the red veil flutters with the wind, which is not lacking in beauty, but also looks weird.
Under the high platform, there is an old Taoist sitting cross-legged, with crane hair and a childish face, with a smell of fairy wind bones.
Not far away stood five older apes, the one in the middle was the patriarch Luoshi, and the Luoshi tribe was named after him. He is the strongest of the tribe and the spiritual symbol of all apes, the tribal shaman, and standing beside him are the four elders of the Falling Stone Tribe.
Qi Changzheng has a low status in the tribe, but he is dispensable, he has only seen them once from afar, or when the tribe holds a ceremony to worship the sky.
The patriarch's position in the tribe is supreme, and every word he says represents the destiny of heaven, even if the living little ape man is sacrificed to the sky, the parents of the little ape man must be extremely respectful.
However, at this time, the Falling Stone Patriarch had a solemn expression and a worried look on his face. The four elders on his side also had solemn expressions, and when they occasionally peeked at the old man who was cross-legged under the high platform, there was a fear in his eyes that could not be concealed.
On the periphery of the clearing, there are hundreds of female apes and juvenile apes, and the stones used for ape-man exercise are scattered behind them, seemingly scattered, but in fact, the position of those stones is very particular, and it is the "Soul Separation Array" arranged by the old Taoist priest himself.
On the periphery of the Soul Leaving Array, there were two or three hundred stout male ape-men, and if Qi Changzheng saw their performance here, he would definitely gloat. The ape-men who used to bully him at will now don't even dare to breathe, and they are all like quails.
Suddenly, a stout ape-man roared angrily and rushed towards the area where the mother ape was, and under his leadership, six or seven ape-men also rushed out after him, but more apes did not dare to move, their eyes were full of fear.
"There are apes looking for death again, what a bunch of fools who don't know whether to live or die!"
Three middle-aged Taoist priests walked in the distance, and it was the Taoist priest who walked in the middle who spoke, with raised eyebrows on both sides, and a scar on the left side of his face, which looked extremely fierce.
The Taoist priest on the right-hand side was a little shorter, slightly fat, and had some baby fat on his face, and looked festive, so he heard him say:
"Second Senior Brother, what are you looking for when the master brought us here? The Immortal Devouring Forbidden Land is not a good land, my Yuan Zhu can only last for three days at most, if I don't leave here again, there will be no Yuan Force to use. ”
The Taoist priest on the left hand side was thin and short, with triangular eyes, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look like a good person at first glance, so he took over the conversation and said:
"My Yuan Zhu only has three and a half days left, and none of these apes know whether they are dead or alive, if it weren't for Daozun's action and burning a few to death, it would be really difficult to control them. Second Senior Brother, I've searched a lot of caves, but I haven't found anything, don't you know the purpose of our coming to the forbidden land?"
"Ask so much what to do, the saints are here in person, listen to the master's orders, those apes are disobedient, kill a few more is ......"
The three of them said as they walked, and the apes in front of them all got out of the way, and the apes who rushed out just now were all trapped in the soul separation circle at this time, rushing around like headless flies, obviously the mother ape was close in front of them, but they couldn't get over.
The three Taoist priests passed through the Soul Separation Array, walked in a specific direction, left and right, and killed those apes during the stop-and-go period. Grabbing the heads of several apes and throwing them in front of the Falling Stone Patriarch, the Taoist priest with a scar on his face said viciously:
"Patriarch Luoshi, if you can't restrain your people, I don't mind helping you kill them all. ”
The face of the Falling Stone Patriarch changed greatly, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but he only made a promise, and the four elders even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
At this moment, the veil above the high platform was lifted, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a graceful figure jumped down from the high platform, the breeze blew her hair, and her clothes fluttered, really like a fairy descending to earth.
The Taoist priest with a scar on his face walked a few steps quickly and arrived in front of the girl, smiling all over his face.
"Evil Daoist, have you found it?"
The girl's voice was like a trickle of water, crisp and pleasant, beautiful and beautiful, but her tone seemed to be high, and the evil Taoist in her mouth was this middle-aged Taoist priest.
The color of greed in the eyes of the evil Taoist is fleeting, the identity of the girl is extraordinary, but the personal maid of the saint, although she has long coveted her, always thinking of getting this little lady on the bed to fiddle with it, but in front of him he does not dare to make a mistake, and he said respectfully:
"Seventeen caves were explored today, and only one pattern was found on the stone wall of the cave, and it was only a pattern used by the ape-man to count, not a human form. ”
"Found the man named Longhair?"
The evil Taoist shook his head and said: "It is impossible for him to live, there are many fierce beasts in the forbidden land, and there are fierce beasts, even we have to avoid it, a fourteen-year-old ordinary person has been missing for more than three months, and he will definitely die." ”
The girl's face was dissatisfied, and she said disdainfully: "Ordinary people, if he is an ordinary person, how can he find the Shengyuan Fruit in his wooden house." Legend has it that the Holy Yuan Fruit cultivated by the Emperor himself appeared in his residence, and if he found that long hair, he might be able to find the Emperor's Immortal Mansion...... You are really useless, not a single child can be found, if the saint is to blame, it will be good for you. ”
The evil Taoist smiled flatteringly: "Senior Sister Xiaoxia is more responsible, and I hope to say a few kind words in front of the Holy Maiden, after returning to Yuanmen, Senior Brother will have a good reward." ”
"Who is rare about your reward, look for it with all your heart, the forbidden land of devouring immortals is not a place to stay for a long time, although the spirit array can suppress the loss of Yuan Zhu's Yuan power, but our Yuan Power is lost, and we can't instill Yuan Power into Yuan Zhu, time is pressing. The Holy Maiden has an order to return to Yuanmen after three days, you only have three days, if you do not find the long hair by then, the Holy Maiden will definitely punish you. ”
The evil Taoist lowered his eyebrows and said, "The ape-man named Stone hasn't come back yet, maybe...... Maybe he'll bring news of the long hair. ”
The girl said angrily, "Maybe, maybe, do you want me to reply to the saint like this?"
"Don't dare to embarrass Senior Sister Xiaoxia, those apes haven't come back when the unitary is over, Senior Brother knows what to do, these apes are not effective, kill a few more, and they will try their best to do things. ”
"Hmph!" The girl looked at several ape heads on the ground in disgust, and reprimanded: "I know that killing kills, killing and killing, the holy woman said, the forbidden land of devouring immortals is the place where the emperor saved the world in the past, and there is less killing." ”
After the girl finished speaking, she returned to the high platform, and when she lifted the veil, she saw that the holy woman was still looking at the towering Tongtian Peak.
"Holy Maiden, the evil man has returned. ”
"Is there any news from the Immortal Mansion?"
"No, I can't find the child named Longhair, the beasts are rampant in the forbidden land, and the child is probably already dead. Looking at the slender back, the girl said worriedly: "Holy Maiden, now that the Immortal Yuan List is in the world, other Yuanmen powerhouses will inevitably try their best to enter the Immortal Devouring Forbidden Land, the Holy Maiden is noble, it is better to leave the forbidden land as soon as possible." ”
"For thousands of years, there has been no ascended monk in the world, and when he enters the forbidden land of devouring immortals, he will always go to see it. ”
The saint did not respond to the girl, but the words she said made the girl tremble. A girl can stand out from thousands of nuns and become the personal maid of the saint, and she is also a girl with a clear heart.
After serving the saint for several years, I also know her temperament, and the saint, who is unattainable on weekdays, also has a bold side.
However, after all, the saint is noble, and her decision is not something that a maid can change, and with an uneasy mood, the girl walked outside the veil and looked at the towering Tongtian Peak, and her heart was even more uneasy.
The jungle at night has also become a terrible beast, her eyes fell on the stones, she had already learned a rough idea of the soul circle, and she had nothing to do, so she remembered the location of the circle in her heart.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, and a cobra flew up out of thin air in a cluster of bushes outside the circle......
