Volume 1 Shadows Chapter 14 The fog is heavy
A lonely figure, walking in the never-ending forest. The falling yellow leaves, like his desperate heart, wandered in the forest. Life has a beginning, death has an end, this is the law of the cycle of all things. At this time, even if there are spiritual materials everywhere, I am afraid that they will lose the momentum of collecting.
Why? Because he's been walking in the forest for a whole month!
The demon beasts in this forest are really like they are dead. Sometimes, how much Yue Chen wished for another life to appear, even if it was a demon beast that would make him lose his life at any time. In this secluded forest, there is only a pair of tiger cubs in their arms, and they depend on each other for their lives. The tiger cub is half dead, and Yue Chen is half alive and half dead. At this moment, he truly comprehended a heavenly principle: If a person's heart dies, he is truly dead! Because after the heart dies, even if a person is alive, he is only a walking corpse.
After another ten days, this forest suddenly changed, and within the scope of Yue Chen's eyes, there were some broken walls and traces of fire. When he got closer and took a closer look, he could determine that this abandoned house was probably a long time ago, so long that Yue Chen couldn't estimate it. But the traces of the fire are new, and the earliest is a month. And, judging from these traces, it seems that someone stayed here for a long time before leaving.
Yue Chen's mind flashed, and he said, "It should be the same person who came with me. After a moment of surprise, he returned to calm and said to himself: "People must be more reliable than demon beasts? In this world, there are animals that are more cruel than humans? After thinking about it for a long time, Yue Chen still decided to walk in a straight line and not change his direction. Yue Chen, who was originally familiar with Jiuzhou Zhi, didn't know this forest at all. It's a strange thing. Because in the Jiuzhou Chronicles, there will be very clear descriptions of the forests that humans have explored, or plants, or animals, or rocks, and so on.
I couldn't help but ask myself: "Isn't this forest in Jiuzhou?"
Thinking as he walked, and in this way, one walked forward for another ten days. The forest finally came to an end, followed by a rocky mountain. This stone mountain, in a north-south direction, is like a turtle's back, and the mountain is full of strange and strange hills, at first glance, it looks a bit like the Ghost Cloud Gorge in the Jinting Mountains.
Yue Chen picked up the talisman and flew straight forward, waiting for the talisman to be exhausted before slowly landing on the ground. After four months and twenty-three days, Yue Chen finally saw people again, albeit two cold corpses. Judging by the extent of the corpse's decomposition, it should have been ten days ago. Looking at the wounds of the two corpses, it is also extremely obvious, it must be that when the two of them were injured, a third person appeared. The two who died, were scavenged clean.
"Sure enough, it's still the most sinister human heart!" Yue Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, picked a hidden hill, and began to rest. At midnight, there was the sound of the impact of the spirit sword, and Yue Chen followed the prestige, only to see that more than ten zhang away, four sword lights hovered back and forth on a hill.
"Strange! How can I hear so far and see so clearly? Although cultivators' eyesight, hearing, and even physical strength are far beyond those of ordinary people, and they are hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people, there is nothing surprising. However, in the last four months, I have not cultivated, so why am my Dao practices still improving? I am originally the fourth level of the Guanqing Realm, if I reach the fifth level of the Guanqing Realm, I may not realize it, but when I reach the sixth level of the Guanqing Realm, it is absolutely impossible. Yue Chen thought about this, and he didn't care about the fighting method in the distance, but sat cross-legged with bated breath, began to breathe and breathe, and looked inside his dantian jade mansion.
In the Jade Mansion, spiritual power is like dew drops containing beads, like beads spitting fog. In a breath, the heart is interdependent, the breath is lingering, moving like a swimming dragon, quiet like a squat.
"Isn't this the image of the Jade Mansion that only exists in the seventh realm of the Guanqing Realm?" Yue Chen gathered his mind and thought to himself: "In the past four months, I have drunk a lot of beast blood and eaten a lot of beast meat, and the other is two Xuanhuang Pills. I didn't even realize that my cultivation had entered the realm!" I thought of which red shadow person, who had entered the ninth level of the Hundred Cultivation Realm, and it was only after being reminded by others that he realized it. The heart said, "What happened to me?"
At this time, the sound of fighting in the distance disappeared, and the sword was also put away, and he said in his heart: "It seems that they have already decided the winner!
For Yue Chen, he couldn't figure out whether he was lucky or not. Let's say lucky, once in danger, I will lose my life at any time, but I am not lucky, but I have not been threatened by real mortality, but I have gained a lot. The journey was surprisingly smooth, at least after walking out of the forest, I saw no traces of people. However, Yue Chen always remembered a sentence in his mind: "The safest time is also the most dangerous time." ”
After dawn, Yue Chen bypassed the place where he had fought last night and continued to walk forward. After walking out of Baili, I looked down and found a huge footprint. Leaning over to observe for a moment, he found that the footprint was three zhang long and one zhang wide. As long as people with a little normal thinking will not regard this as a human footprint. Yue Chen searched in his mind for a while, but there was no answer. The giants recorded in some myths and stories do not have such exaggerated paws.
The careful Yue Chen also found that within the scope of the footprints, there was a white stone with a shape and size like a human heart. I couldn't help but feel out a hyun crystal from the ruyi bag, this kind of spirit stone shaped like a goose egg, showing a round shape, is the most important transaction currency for the human monks, but the size is only the size of an ordinary person's thumb belly. So he ruled out his own imaginary results. Yue Chen counted again, and saw that there were only one hundred and eight such stones, and said in his heart: "I still have a Ruyi bag that has not been used, so it is better to put it all away and go back and slowly check it carefully." ”
After the end of this place, Yue Chen raised the talisman to search, and there was no more trace of the same stone or similar footprints. When the two talismans were used up, Yue Chen came to a human face. The human face engraved on the stone mountain was vivid, and Yue Chen felt the same size as his own face. On this face, there are only nine white stones like that. After putting them away one by one, he slapped the face with the Seven Evil Xuanmu, but there was no reaction, and he shook his head and said: "Between Liuhe, within Jiuzhou, there are so many strange things. Such a strange thing with a small face and a big one foot, there are not a thousand, but also eight hundred. Why should I bother with it!"
After continuing to walk forward for fifty miles, Yue Chen encountered a third person, or the third corpse was more accurate. Yue Chen came to the corpse, leaned over to check it, and found that the person was still breathing, but the whole person was only skinny and bones. Yue Chen felt that as long as he slipped up, this person would have to fall apart. For a while, I couldn't tell whether it was a disciple of Shangqing or a disciple of Yuqing, and it was always the one who became an abandoned pawn of Chengming Sect with him. Give him Xuanhuang Dan and Zengyuan Dan together.
Shaoqing, with the help of the elixir, the man slowly opened his eyes and said in a weak voice: "Hurry up, here... Ghost... Ahh
"What kind of ghost is there in this world? Ghosts are more terrible than people? I'm afraid of the living, and the dead are like that!" Yue Chen thought that this person must be delirious and confused, so he said nonsense. I didn't take it seriously. But looking at the sky, you can still drive a hundred and ten miles. So he found some withered vines that grew on the stone mountain, twisted them into a basket, gently put the man in it, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you are the senior brother of that line, after all, everyone is in trouble." You'll be there for a moment. ”
Yue Chen was carrying a big man who was less than sixty pounds, but he didn't have much pressure, and he was still walking like a fly. After walking out of the hundred miles, he still chooses a hidden place to rest. Then, he gave this fellow disciple another Zengyuan Pill and began to meditate. Which of the fellow in the basket was, for some reason, trying his best to get up. With the help of the elixir, his voice began to become clear, and he roared: "Hurry up, there are ghosts in this stone mountain!"
Yue Chen glared at the same door, and said loudly: "As long as you are not a ghost, there are no ghosts on this mountain!" When he said this, the bloodless Tongmen's eyes became cloudy, and his pupils dilated several times. Yue Chen was startled, and hurriedly gave him a Xuanhuang Pill, and when he was about to ask him, a gentle voice came from his ear: "Are you really not afraid of ghosts?"
This voice, if it is far and near, seems to be nothing, and it is gentle and terrifying. Yue Chen looked back and shouted, "Are you fucking finished?" Last time, didn't you have enough fun?"
Why did Yue Chen react like this? Because he saw a red shadow man again, exactly the same red shadow man. If there was something different, it was the voice, but Yue Chen didn't notice this.
This speech stunned which red shadow man, and after a long time, the red shadow man said: "Have you seen me?"
"You stinky girl, don't you pretend to be confused with me! You almost killed me, and gave me a wooden sign, how long has it been, you don't remember?
The Red Shadow Man began to giggle and laugh.
Yue Chen continued: "Do you think you can fool me by changing your voice?"
The laughter of the red shadow man gradually stopped, Yue Chen suddenly felt a cold attack, forcing himself speechless, and after a thought flashed in his mind, he reached out and touched the Ruyi bag. In Yue Chen's body, an iceberg gradually formed, began to rise and rise, and the spiritual power of the Jade Mansion was also sucked away by this iceberg. Suddenly, he felt that his Yufu spiritual power had dried up in an instant, and then it was his own blood that disappeared.
In the depths of his heart, a burst of feather sound Sanskrit chanting sounded again, and the power of Xuanyu scattered around his body began to gather, pouring into the Jade Mansion like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. After Yue Chen got these powers, he violently pulled out the Seven Evil Dark Wood and threw it at the Red Shadow Man. Said loudly: "You ghost bastard, you dare to say that this broken wood has nothing to do with you!"
In an instant, only one woman screamed "It's him", and disappeared without a trace in an instant. And the iceberg in Yue Chen's body, as if it had lost its support, slammed into the Dantian Jade Mansion, the iceberg burst apart, the broken ice flew, and the ice flowers stirred. A burst of pain that tore bones spread throughout his body, and as the iceberg gradually melted, Yue Chen's body began to squirm rhythmically. A person next to him said: "Why is this still starting to break the barrier?"
Yue Chen only felt that the meridians were easy to change, the body marrow was cleaned, and the blood was filtered. The spiritual power in the Jade Mansion is being purified over and over again by this gradually melting iceberg, and the body is also being changed and reshaped by an invisible force. At this moment, it was very similar to Ouyang Xiu's situation after mistakenly taking the Demon Sect Spirit Pill.
Half an hour later, all the icebergs in his body were integrated into the Jade Mansion, Yue Chen finally calmed down, recalled what had happened just now, and asked himself, "Could it be that it's really not the same Red Shadow Man?" After calming down a little, he took a Blood Lotus Pill and got up to pick up the Seven Evil Dark Trees. found that there was also a similar wooden plaque where the red shadow man was standing just now, so he was suspicious: "Really recognize the wrong person?"
Wu shook his head and sighed for a while, put away the wooden card and Xuanmu, and looked back, but he was really startled. Because behind him stood a scrawny young man, looking at himself strangely.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
"I'm a human being! I'm an inner disciple of the Yuqing lineage, and my name is Fu Shou. ”
Yue Chen gave a thumbs up and said, "Your name is as good as its name, your name is really loud! Looking at your situation, should you pretend to be all the way through?"
"Almost, though, it starts with you giving me the first Xuanhuang Pill!" Fu Shou pondered for a while and continued, "I think, next, you should beg me!"
"Oh, but why?"
"Because I know your secret! The secret that you can talk to ghosts! It seems, there is more than one! I don't think you want the sect elders to know about this kind of thing. ”
"When I was abandoned by the Taiqing lineage, do you think what you said is important to me? Are you sure that you can kill me now, or is there anything that can threaten me?"
"You're very smart! It's just that you're really counted as a dead person by the sect. Obviously, there was a little accident in this for you. ”
"What?
"What is the purpose of this so-called experience, with your ingenuity, you must have thought of it. Moreover, the sect will only let fifty-nine people go back alive, and you are not in the plan. The reason is very simple, Elder Hao Jing still gave up on you, because he didn't think that you could break through the life and death calamity of the talisman spell. It is better to use his life to make the greatest contribution to the sect. ”
"You're one of the fifty-nine?"
"Exactly! Fifty-nine of us, not only know the detailed inside story, but also have a heavy responsibility!"
"Kill the rest of the escapees?"
Fu Shou's muscleless face, the flesh twitched, and he said slowly: "You are indeed very smart! However, if you want to know the inside story, just exchange some spiritual materials! I am not greedy, I only need one of the three wishful bags on your waist." ”
"What if I don't give it?"
"I think you still want to know the inside story! In this way, in order for us to rush to the territory of Shengzhou today, at a fixed price, you let me pick a few spiritual materials from a ruyi bag, and I will inform you. ”
"Okay!" Yue Chen said, throwing away a wishful bag.
Fu Shou glanced at it and said, "Are you seriously playing tricks on me? If I release this arrow, I dare guarantee that you will not be able to escape from Baishi Mountain." ”
"I want to give it a try!"
Fu Shou sighed and said, "Count you as a winner! You save me first, and I threaten you later, which is already a villain's behavior." I might as well tell you all about it. In fact, the experience of the sect this time is to clean up the moles that the demon sect has broken into the sect in one net. The credit for this is actually you and Ouyang Xiu. Presumably, you must have thought of that letter, too. As for you, it's an exception and the best way to get around. I don't know why. Perhaps, it has something to do with the content of that book you have read! In short, it was Elder Haojing who agreed with the sect's handling of you that led to this result! What the elders think, but it is not something that we ordinary people can know. ”
"People talk about people, and ghosts talk about ghosts! How can people in the Demon Sect get into so many people? Doesn't this mean that the elders of the Chengming Sect are all idiots?"
"Money can make the devil grind! This is an eternal mantra. Well, it's time to tell you all about it. If you go back alive this time, you will be like us, and nothing happened to the sect. As long as you can control your mouth, you are still an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Killing Peak. ”
Yue Chen laughed "haha" and said, "Do you want to get out of here alive?"
"What do you mean?"
"Hmph, an inner disciple, can know so much, know so much, who are you? If you don't tell me, it's up to the two of us to leave this place alive. ”
"Senior Brother Yue, the Chengming Sect has been established for more than 10,000 years, how much do you know about the hidden things in the sect? Others see the most glamorous side, but the dirty things have to be done by someone, right? In the future, maybe you will find that what really supports the rise and fall of the sect is not what you see, but what you can't imagine. ”
Yue Chen was silent for a while, then took out four fifth-order demon pills from the Ruyi bag, handed them to Fu Shou, and said, "We all know what to do, right?"
Fu Shou took the demon pill, put it in the Ruyi bag, and sighed: "Senior Brother Yue, don't be too good in your heart, otherwise you will suffer a lot." You are a disciple of the peasant family, and the cruel things you saw this time are really insignificant. The further you go, the deeper your experience will be!"
"How do I hear that you look like a senior of the twentieth generation?"
"Haha...!Senior Brother Yue, go back to the sect quickly! At the moment, Jinting Mountain is very lively!" When Fu Shou spoke, he suddenly disappeared from Yue Chen's sight.
Yue Chen didn't feel overly surprised, and he didn't know what the identity of this person was. After thinking for a while, he slowly took out the bluestone seal, and a pure spiritual power was condensed in his palm, which was injected into the bluestone seal.
