256 Valley of Despair and Piano of Despair
Just when Zhao Biyao and Xiong Zhenqing were dying and struggling, they didn't want to open a door in the fire, and a fire man came out of the fire door. This made the two of them unable to believe their eyes, Baguio was swayed by Kaoru's eyes, and saw that a person came in, so it means that they were saved. Or is it dead, the soul is out of the body, she pushed Xiong Zhenqing next to her and asked, "Senior Brother Qing, are we in another world, are we dead? It turns out that the place of death is also so good, then we were not afraid of death in the first place." It's white, like a fairyland. ”
She slapped herself and felt pain. His presence made the smoke in the cave much smaller, but the fire burning outside seemed to be even bigger, making the small cave even hotter.
Seeing this, Xiong Zhenqing approached, who seemed to be the master he had identified earlier, and said, "Silly girl, we are fine, someone saved us." ”
"No way, how could someone come in and save us from such a big fire outside? We must have been blinded by the smoke, so we saw it wrong. Zhao Biyao obviously saw a figure walking deeper and further, but with her sixth sense, it seemed a little bad, so she said so self-deceptively.
I saw that the armor that the person was wearing was faintly fire-colored, and when I heard their conversation, I couldn't help laughing. He said, "That's right, I saved you and beat all the court dogs outside. ”
But he was wrong, there were three people who didn't leave, and that was Li Qingtian and them. They avoided the officers and soldiers, and then walked back. Li Qingtian said: "I always feel that something is wrong. ”
Seeing that he was suspicious, Han Han followed him and seemed to come back reluctantly. Because he knew that staying, maybe it would be dangerous for them, not to mention whether those two people were dead or not. In case they were still alive, then would they not have killed themselves. In addition, this Valley of Despair is a famous forbidden place. Although he rarely goes in and out of the rivers and lakes, he listens to the lectures of the island master in the Peach Blossom Island, and knows that this place is the dwelling place of the female demon of the rivers and lakes, this person has white hair of three thousand feet, and she can feel everything in this valley with the sound of the piano, and she can obtain information in the transmission process of the sound waves. So in this stay, it is more than auspicious.
He told these two friends again, and that Tie just heard the terrifying laughter of a man in Dongshan, in the Shaolin Temple before, he didn't care about fear, but he was afraid that in the middle of the night, he could often hear strange sounds. This is the secret that the monks have made public. But going to hunt ghosts in the middle of the night has never been in vain. But after stepping into the rivers and lakes, his courage became much smaller. It is found that the rivers and lakes are big, there are crises everywhere, and they are extremely dangerous. I couldn't help but shrink and said, "Did you hear it?" ”
When Han Han heard it, he was frightened and wanted to retreat, but the two of them were stopped by Li Qingtian, who was worse than them in martial arts, and he said: "The martial arts of both of you are okay, and I am not as good as you." But when you encounter danger, then you naturally have an advantage over me, and now I am not afraid of what you are worried about. ”
He shook his head, his own vague memory. Here Li Qingtian and the three of them came over from there, and Li Qingtian saw the two of them talking there, and actually ran in front of them. He exclaimed, "Hell!"
The man who jumped out of the fire smiled at the two of them, "Wrong, on the contrary, you trespassed on my forbidden land, and I came to kill you." ”
I saw that when the fire man was about to attack them, a fierce piano sound came. I saw a woman's voice in the sound of the piano saying, "Stop." ”
Xiong Zhenqing knew that this sonic transmission could only have such a level if his cultivation skills reached a certain level. As soon as the fire man heard the sound of the piano, he replied, "I didn't expect to be discovered by you." ”
"As long as it's in my Valley of Despair, when it happens, then I can find out. A woman's voice came from the sound of the piano.
"I'm going to kill two people, and no one can stop them. The fire man said deliberately to the sound of the piano. It seems that his drunkard's intention is no longer to drink, but to lure this piano girl out.
"Fire Rock Monster, don't think that I don't know that you are hiding in us, no one is allowed to mess around without my permission in the Valley of Despair. The piano girl said.
"Why, you don't want them to die. Igneous Rock asked at the sound of the harp.
"They deserve to die, but you deserve to die too. My Zhao woman has always done things by unscrupulous means to achieve the goal. The piano girl said.
"I'm going to die, too. The fire man sneered: "I'm afraid you don't have this ability, or you come out, we will fight it." ”
I saw that the woman in the sound of the piano didn't look weak and said: "If you want to, then I will accompany you to the end." ”
Zhao Biyao only heard a "boom", and a woman with white hair jumped out of the piano wave, but this woman did not look old at all, and she also had a shocking face, and the fly in the ointment was the white hair on this head. The sound of her piano came to an abrupt end, and suddenly the little cave was crowded with people, who couldn't show their strength in the first place.
Li Qingtian saw the woman standing at the entrance of the cave, and the moment she lowered her head sideways, he couldn't help but shout: "Ghost!"
I don't want to be blocked by that Tie Gang and Han Han.
The fire man greeted Zhao Nu Nu and said, "Zhao Nuxia, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to be unpresent!"
Zhao Nunu also knew this person and said: "Mr. Huoyan has disappeared in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, how did he change his appearance. ”
Seeing her judging herself, the fire man also smiled and said, "Fairy Gu, you are no better! ”
Zhao Nunu couldn't see that he was so rampant in the Valley of Despair, so she said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's a mule or a horse, let's go outside and find out together." ”
"Okay, now that the fairy aunt has spoken, then don't kill this first. He stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”
"If you want to kill people on my territory, naturally you have to ask me first. Zhao Nunu said with a serious face.
When Zhao Biyao heard this, she couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, yes! What the fairy aunt said is that it is her territory, why are you spreading wild on other people's territory." ”
Huo Nan was very unhappy when he heard her speak so unreasonably, and Zhao Nunu didn't like her to be too talkative and warned: "When I clean up this old guy, I will naturally let you die in pain and be an eternal husband and wife." ”
Xiong Zhenqing couldn't help but feel weak when he heard this, and leaned against the stone wall with an "ah". Lady Zhao grabbed him and said softly: "Senior Brother Qing, don't be afraid, when they fight to the point where both sides are defeated, it will be the best time for us to escape." ”
No, Zhao Nunu seemed to be able to spy on their scheming, and as soon as the fire man walked out, as soon as she made a move, she used the big stone next to her to block the stone cave. The fire man thought that she was plotting against him, so he struck a blow in the air, only to see the Zhao woman get up from the ground, jump backwards, and sit on a stone. She saw that if she didn't hide, she would die at his hands. With such a push, he exploded a fire pit, and the poisonous snake that followed Zhao Nunu also emitted a burst of barbecue aroma.
Zhao Nunu used the magic qin to resist, his flaming palm, the two combative, and the sky was dizzy for a while, and the grass and trees flew. The two are rivals, and the fire man sees that he is at a disadvantage when he attacks himself from a distance, and he naturally suffers from the advantages of fighting others with his disadvantage. Therefore, he can only give full play to his advantages if he is close to her, and for close combat is also the disadvantage of Zhao Nunu, two people with similar martial arts will depend on who can better grasp the opportunity and who will make fatal mistakes in the tearing and killing, and the outcome of this competition also depends on this. The two sides fought at that central point, the sound of the piano was like a ghostly sword, the flames were flying all over the sky, and the fairies scattered flowers.
It's just that Xiong Zhenqing and Zhao Biyao in the cave are uneasy, and they can see the situation outside through the cracks in the stones. Although the stone wall was made of rubble, they could also break it with their strength. But Zhao Biyao stopped him from doing so, and said, "Senior Brother Qing, if we go out like this, then we will definitely die." ”
"Are you just sitting here and waiting to die?" Xiong Zhenqing said a little restlessly.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Qing, why can't you calm down?" Zhao Biyao comforted: "Don't you often say that you don't change everything. The person who wants to kill us now is the old monster of the fire rock, and although the female demon keeps saying that she wants to kill us, what does she mean by trying to block the hole with a stone, it is clearly to protect us. ”
Xiong Zhenqing is now highly poisoned in his body, and he is powerless to fight again. I couldn't help but withdraw the idea of escaping, and everything was left to fate. Zhao Nunu looked around and found that there were words on the stone wall, so she said, "Senior Brother Qing, look at what is written on it." ”
Xiong Zhenqing read according to the words on the stone wall: "Peach blossom poem, peach blossom flowing water is the most ruthless, and lover's makeup and love are like floating clouds." Dare to ask Fanghua that Yan, a flower in the valley of despair. ”
"Hehe, it's just a poem. Xiong Zhenqing said with a smile.
"But didn't you think there was a metaphor in this poem?" asked Zhao Biyao.
"You're talking about the female devil. Xiong Zhenqing suddenly realized: "Could it be that the two of them have an adulterous affair here." ”
Zhao Biyao shook her head, and then made a new discovery without sweeping her eyes. couldn't help pulling Xiong Zhenqing and said, "You see there are paintings of characters on the stone wall." ”
Xiong Zhenqing's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "This is the healing technique of the Daomen, presumably the fire man discovered this place and came here to steal this martial art." ”
When Zhao Biyao heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Great, then Senior Brother Qing, aren't you saved?"
Xiong Zhenqing still had a sad look on his face just now, but now he was in good spirits, and said, "Thank you Baguio." ”
"Thank me for what. Zhao Biyao saw that he was talking a little chaotic, but in fact, she understood it early in her heart.
"If you hadn't persuaded me to stay, then even if I found Zhang Weirong, the master of the Kunlun Sect, after I went out, he might not be willing to save me. I don't need it now, I'm saved. Xiong Zhenqing said as if he had been reborn: "If this is the case, then my poisonous evil sword technique will be almost completed." ”
"Here's how to say it. Zhao Biyao saw him say this, this time he really didn't understand.
Xiong Zhenqing said to him with a smile: "I feel that no one has reached the highest level because of the poisonous and evil sword, and it is because they were killed by their own sword moves and their own poisons." If you can break through the death level, then wouldn't it be a success?"
"Senior Brother Qing, look, how to explain this last trick. Zhao Biyao asked him.
"It's not difficult, which means that two people must practice at the same time to heal my poisonous wounds. ”
"How to solve it. ”
"It's my luck to protect my body and force out the poison of that physical strength. Then you suck up the poisonous gas for me and disperse it for me. Xiong Zhenqing looked at it and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Forget it, don't practice." ”
"Why. "Although Zhao Biyao's martial arts skills are not high, she is also proficient. It was the swallow in the river who had seen a lot, so he said, "Are you afraid that I will be poisoned?"
"Yes. Xiong Zhenqing nodded.
"Then let's get started. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, then there is always one of us who can take revenge for the other. She said without hesitation.
"Revenge again. Xiong Zhenqing didn't seem to want to, he didn't want to, he couldn't do this.
"If you refuse to listen to me, then I will go out and be beaten to death by them right now. Zhao Biyao forced him to practice healing with death.
Zhao Nunu also knew that there were outsiders nearby, but those who stepped into her forbidden place without communication were his enemies. In this case, she usually doesn't show mercy.
There is also a small attendant next to Zhao Nunu, and this person is her apprentice Zhou Lanfang. She hung a white sword at her waist and followed Zhao Nunu, following in unison. It looked completely lifeless, only a cold face.
Besides, Zhao Nunu and the old monster of the fire rock were fighting, and there was no winner in a hundred rounds, and the old monster of the fire rock came up with a way to retreat as advance. I wanted to run away, but I didn't expect that Zhao Nunu was really fooled, and jumped in front of him and said: "If you come to my Valley of Despair and learn the martial arts on the stone wall, I will leave you not in this world." ”
The old monster of Huoyan smiled and said: "Silly mother-in-law, it is difficult to protect yourself, and you are not ashamed to say it." ”
Two flames suddenly burst out of his hands, and he stepped forward, Zhao Nunu wanted to fight back, but he couldn't, and he couldn't resist him, so he had to avoid the flames, but at this time, the time for the fire rock old monster to be reckless and powerful had come, and his move was a group of demons dancing wildly, making Zhao Nunu avoid it, and wanted to escape, but the fire rock was close to her. Seeing a slap from the other, Zhao Nunu's escape route had already been blocked by the flames, so she had to use the piano to block forward. I don't want the flame to burn her hand, so that the piano she is holding has to be thrown away.
Huoyan snatched the ruthless piano and said with a smile: "It used to be a pedal piano, but I didn't expect that after you parted ways with Yu Guanghui, you would each get a male and female ruthless piano." I heard that his qin is a Wenqin, and your qin is a martial qin. Now I will let you, the ruthless lyre of the beaded chain, never appear in the world. ”
He went to the ruthless piano with one palm, only to see that the seven strings of the ruthless piano were all broken in an instant, and he smashed it, which was also fragmented.
Seeing that the piano that had followed him for half his life was actually destroyed by him, his heart was also broken, and he couldn't help but be angry. The golden hairpin flew away. Zhou Lanfang next to him also raised his sword to kill, and the old monster of the fire rock was also frightened, only to see the white hair rushing over like a blade, the old monster of the fire rock used his flame spar, and his power exploded in an instant, but every time he used the power of the spar, then his skill would fade. But this time he couldn't take care of it anymore, and in order to save his life, he had to build a fire barrier, so that the white hair did not dare to go forward and was burned back. Only a golden hairpin stabbed him in the chest. The old monster was wounded and fled. Zhao Nunu collected the merit and extinguished it with her hands, and Zhou Lanfang chased after the sparkling flames and said, "Where did the thief escape." ”
Zhao Nunu broke off and said, "No need to chase, those two people are still in the cave, kill them." ”
Zhou Lanfang stopped her steps, and when she saw that the Zhao girl was injured internally, she said, "Yes." ”
Just when Zhao Biyao and Xiong Zhenqing practiced to the last moment, they heard that the fight outside had ended, and the old monster of the fire rock was defeated and fled. This time he really fell into himself, if he could have a little more time, then he would be the top level of the poisonous evil swordsmanship and the female devil outside. didn't want them to use a poisonous snake to explore the way first, Zhao Biyao couldn't help but panic when she heard the sound of the snake spitting out the core. At the moment when the poisonous snake flew over, Zhao Biyao gathered the poisonous gas from Xiong Zhenqing and struck in the direction of the snake, but he didn't expect the snake to die as soon as it came into contact with the black poisonous blood. At this time, Xiong Zhenqing collected the power to protect the body, and the great work was done.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want to thank this little green snake?"
He took the sword in Zhao Biyao's hand, and she asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
He said calmly: "Ruined it." Without waiting for Zhao Biyao to stop him, he scribbled on the stone wall with his sword.
Zhou Lanfang didn't feel the snake's information, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to hear Zhao Nunu order: "Go in and kill them." I've been with me for so long, and you haven't given me a single head. Now there is a man in it, and if any man sets foot in my valley of despair, he will die, and I will give you one last chance. ”
With a "boom", I saw two people walking out of the hole, and the man said, "Don't bother the girl to ask us to come out, we'll leave now." ”
Zhou Lanfang saw that this man was talking so lightly, and she was a little pity before, which seemed to be her own kind heart. She stopped, "Go, did you just throw a sword from the top of the mountain?" ”
Zhao Biyao suddenly remembered and said, "That was done by Huang Wan's Taoist priest." ”
"Huang Wan, he wants to kill you. Zhao Nunu also seemed to know the Taoist priest, so she asked, "So he threw the sword." ”
"That's right, it's my Uncle Huang. Xiong Zhenqing stood in front of Zhao Biyao and said, "What do you want." ”
Zhou Lanfang said: "Uncle Shi, originally you were in a group, but I think it's too complicated. If you admit it, then pay for my sister's life. ”
When Zhao Biyao heard this, she didn't expect that Huang Wan threw a sword and stabbed the people in this valley to death. I couldn't help but be surprised: "It turns out that this is the case, it is really a wrong, but we didn't do all this." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, don't you see the words mentioned by my master at the entrance of the cave? She said and killed. Xiong Zhenqing stepped forward to fight, pushed with his hand, and his sword was horizontal, blocking the woman's volley, not wanting the woman to retract her body, and then fell to the ground and fought against him. She swept a sword downward, Xiong Zhenqing jumped up, and hit Zhou Lanfang's body. Zhou Lanfang took advantage of the situation and pounced on Zhao Biyao again, Baguio saw the sword coming, flicked her sleeves, and whipped her right hand, so that Zhou Lanfang had to turn around and attack sideways, but she didn't expect Xiong Zhenqing behind to be so fast that he grabbed her feet and couldn't move forward. Zhao Biyao easily whipped Zhou Lanfang to the ground.
Seeing that these two people had actually practiced martial arts on the stone wall in such a short period of time, and she was injured again, she said, "Okay, you can go." ”
Zhou Lanfang got up and shouted, "Master." ”
Zhao Nunu said to herself: "The cave guys in the mountains deserve to be robbed by this, and besides, they have done me a great favor, if I don't find out the existence of the old monster of the fire rock in time, I am afraid that the Valley of Despair will be destroyed." ”
Xiong Zhenqing fled to the valley with Baguio as soon as he heard this, and Tie Gang, Han Han and Li Sheng were also ready to escape, but their movements seemed to be a little faster. Tie Gang felt that this was strange and followed. Li Qingtian and Wu Fat both looked scared, but the two of them stood there and were even more afraid.
The two of them looked frightened and frightened, and crawled forward on all four feet. But Li Qingtian was slow and went astray. He walked forward with a knife in his hand, and happened to collide with Xiong Zhenqing and Zhao Biyao coming towards the path, and he really accidentally met them. Li Qingtian held the knife in both hands and shouted: "Where is the little thief escaping." ”
Xiong Zhenqing protected Baguio with his hand and said, "This brother, the fairy aunt has already let us live, presumably you are her apprentice." Our words are true, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask her old man, why do you want to die?"
Li Qingtian's heart was up and down, looking forward to it on both sides. Xiong Zhenqing saw that this person couldn't hold the knife, and his hand kept shaking, so he said: "Brother, let us have a way out, and you will also be allowed to live, otherwise it would be better to be a jade than a complete tile." ”
Li Sheng didn't know what to do, and they came to him. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Good brother, then so be it." ”
But they came closer and closer, and their eyes were widowed like swords piercing their backs.
He felt threatened, "Don't move." ”
Xiong Zhenqing's hand reached over and knocked him down, the knife tore the clothes on his chest behind his back, and then staggered forward with a backfoot to beat Li Jingtian. There happened to be two people who supported him, these two were Tie Gang and Han Han. Tie Gang said: "Friend, are you okay?"
Xiong Zhenqing and Baguio walked forward quickly, and Li Qingtian snorted: "Tie Gang, you didn't see how majestic I was just now, a few swords almost killed the two of them, and ......." ”
They ignored him, afraid to follow.
Zhao Biyao and Xiong Zhenqing came to the valley, and they also saw a stone cave, and there was a stone tablet in front of the stone mouth. Baguio said, "Senior Brother Qing, we're back again." ”
Xiong Zhenqing saw the words on the stone tablet: "Heartless Cave." ”
Baguio said: "Could it be that we are really back." ”
"Nope. Zhenqing said: "The place we went to just now was burned by fire, and there is no trace of burning here, you are looking at the words on the stone is different from the original." ”
She read it carefully and said: "The sky is vast with broken love, sad and melancholy, lost and wants to return, and the relationship between the two is broken early." ”
She asked, "Do you know what Senior Brother Qing's sentence means?"
Xiong Zhenqing shook his head and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
But as soon as they started, a piano sounded, and they listened for a while. She couldn't resist her curiosity and said: "This piano sound is very lonely, very monotonous, full of resentment and peace and sorrow. ”
He originally had no patience, but the sound of this piano was very pleasant, no better than the tune played by the Zhao Nunu just now: "This piano is very monotonous, it is played with only one string, and the charm of the piano is so rare in the world." ”
They walked towards the cave, but as soon as they stepped into it, it was as if a barrier had bounced them out. At this time, Li Qingtian jumped out and said, "Okay, you two are doing ghost things here, today I will make your good things turn into bad ......." ”
Zhenqing saw that the three of them were coming, and Baguio was rushed in by his hand. Li Qingtian said: "They are really turtles, it is a great achievement to catch them, I think Prince Wu will reuse us a little, so what else do I want to take the exam?"
At this time, the sound of the piano was ethereal and long, but Li Qingtian had a headache for a while. Tie Gang listened to the unpredictable rhythm of the strings, sometimes hurried and sometimes relaxed. Li Qingtian listened to the keys very harshly, and he was very heartbroken. Listening to this piano, Han Han has a peaceful mind and a happy mood. Li Qingtian rolled on the ground with a feeling of pain, and the three of them were in their own moods.
However, after a while, the sound of the piano changed, and Tie Gang heard a murderous aura, so he resisted the sound of the piano. Han Han was still intoxicated and still fine, Li Qingtian shouted: "It hurts, it hurts." ”
Han Han hurriedly asked, "Woodcutter, where do you hurt?" ”
He broke Li Qingtian's hand with his hand, but his hand was very tight on his ears. He walked to Tie Gang again and said, "Brother Tie, what's wrong with you, sitting motionless." ”
He lightly touched Tie Gang with his hand, and Tie Gang's hard body fell down in meditation. This will be even more surprising to Hanhan, he guesses that the piano in this cave is causing the trouble. So he pushed hard at the stele and said, "Don't play, it's so hard to hear." ”
The stele blocked the entrance to the cave, but when he turned around, the stele moved back to its place. Li Sheng was given a brief pause, and after a while, he screamed again. Han Han saw that this had some effect, so he pushed the stone to the entrance of the cave with a hard push, and rushed up to hold the stone tablet with his body, and they were all right at this time.
The five fat men were stunned for a while, and the sound of the piano was only in the hole, but not outside the hole. Han Han let go of the stone and didn't move, he said happily: "Hey, okay, okay." ”
Li Jingtian saw that it was hopeless to arrest the two of them and make meritorious contributions, so he still had to save his life, so he said: "It's weird here, we shouldn't stay here for a long time, let's go!"
So they left timidly.
Zhao Biyao and Xiong Zhenqing walked to the depths of the cave, the more they walked, the more open they looked, the cave was dripping water, the stalactites were craggy, the stones were miscellaneous, the flat water was like a realm, the water was curling, the sound of stones was around, and the sound of the piano lingered in the ears. It's a peaceful and deserted environment, but there is a sense of unrest in this cave.
They came to a hall like a hall, and in the middle of the hall there was a depression, and the ground was spewing smoke, like a fairyland, like a dream, and in their eyes it was even more beautiful. They saw a stone staircase in front of them, and on the steps there was a large lyre, which was shaking and making a slight sound.
Zhenqing said: "Senior sister, you see that the piano is so weird, no one plays it by itself, no one sounds by itself, let's go over and take a look." ”
The two of them jumped over together, and Baguio said, "I'm afraid the sound of the piano we heard came from this piano!"
Zhenqing pointed to the piano and said, "Senior sister, you see that only the middle string is left in this seven strings." ”
"This piano, this piano, as if I had heard of it. She thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, is this the ruthless piano that the world has rumored." ”
"The ruthless qin, is the ruthless qin one of the four great artifacts of the rivers and lakes?" Xiong Zhenqing asked again: "Then the piano used by the female devil is also said to be the ruthless qin, what is going on." ”
"I don't know about that. Probably, the female devil and Yu Guanghui told a lie to the world. I've heard my father tell me that this is what this ruthless piano looks like. However, it was broken by the lonely Dugu Nine Swords, and there was only one string left, and it was difficult to continue when the string was broken, maybe the female devil still couldn't let go of the lonely Biao, the hero who dominated the rivers and lakes at that time. Zhao Biyao guessed out of thin air.
She said what she heard, what she thought, what she guessed.
Xiong Zhenqing saw this exquisite divine harp, and his heart fluttered and said: "It seems that this piano must be a ruthless piano, then I want to give it a try." ”
"Alas, don't be a brother, this piano can only be played by those who are destined. Zhao Biyao saw that he didn't understand and said, "All artifacts, they all recognize their owners." If someone is fortunate enough to be its owner, then it can achieve a different effect. ”
"If I don't try, then how do I know if I'm destined for this piano or not. He said excitedly.
She was silent for a while and said, "Then you be careful." ”
He borrowed a smile from her, and gently put it on with both hands, but approached the big piano and played it hard, not wanting to be flicked away.
Zhao Biyao exclaimed, "Be careful. ”
Just listen to her voice, attracting the guards outside.
