In an unknown place, in a dimly lit hall.

"Boom"

With a soft sound, two rows of strange green lights lit up on the wall, illuminating the hall.

There are thirty-six chaotic murals carved on the walls, including nine hells, heaven and earth, and demons and monsters. At the top of the main hall is a picture of a sea of corpses and a river of blood, and each character is lifelike. Mortals with empty eyes and bleeding, Taoist cultivators with mutilated limbs, and alien beasts and birds with severed heads and tails. Scattered all over the ground with a broken magic weapon that has lost its luster.

And above the sea of corpses, rivers of blood are entangled. A three-eyed giant more than 100 feet tall, wearing a pair of broken and hideous ink armor, with huge sharp broken rib spurs sticking out of the joints of the limbs on the armor.

The giant's roaring maws were frantically fleeing for their lives, and a huge head of despair trampled at the giant's feet.

Beside him lay a headless, silver-armoured six-armed giant. Large streams of golden blood erupted from the giant's severed neck. Six arms were broken and five arms were broken, and only one twisted hand was left holding a mysterious seal entwined with purple thunder.

The sky above the three-eyed giant's head was gray and broken, the electric python was rushing, the blood rain descended, the ground next to it collapsed, and the river flowed backwards. It constitutes an apocalyptic picture.

At this time, there was a ten-zhang long black iron table in the center of the main hall. On either side of the long table sat nine tall and short, fat or thin figures, wearing long hats and robes, and wearing various masks.

The only difference is that the nine on the left are all dressed in black robes with a long-handled blood-bladed scythe painted on their sleeves, while the nine on the right are all dressed in white robes with this dark and dull iron chain painted on their sleeves.

These eighteen people all exuded a shocking momentum, but at this time, they all looked at their noses, and sat on both sides with their heads bowed, not daring to make the slightest sound, nor daring to shake it like a stone statue.

There was a sudden soft sound, and the robed people on both sides of the long table raised their heads and looked into the main hall.

These three huge thrones are arranged on top of the eighteen-story platform. The middle one is black, covered with thorns and thorns, without any ornamentation. The throne on the left is blood-red with a river of blood carved on it. On the right is a dark blue color, and on the top is a painting of Senro Hell.

At this time, there was a tall figure wearing a blood-colored body sitting on the Blood Throne, and there seemed to be sticky blood flowing and churning on the big seat, and a few mysterious runes flashed from time to time, and the end was extremely mysterious. The man wore a blood-colored swirling mask on his face, revealing only a pair of scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes, and waist-length black hair draped casually behind him.

On the dark blue throne sat a gray-robed man, wrapped in blue and black qi into tentacles, wearing a robe and hat, there was no face under the hat but a condensed black qi that was floating and uncertain, and a cloud of blue and gold light could be faintly seen inside the black qi.

The blood-faced man first glanced at the black-and-white robed people on both sides of the long table, and the eighteen people below subconsciously bowed their heads to the pair of bloody eyes, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

The air froze for a moment before a gentle, mellow sound came from the jade.

"Good, everybody's here. There are still more than three years to go, and it is time for His Highness to wake up again, and this time I need blood, a lot of essence blood. White Elephant, the task of Huang He this time will be handed over to the two of you, find a way to make a few secular countries unrest, and it is best to lead the people from the Seven Gates down the mountain. ”

The blood-faced man's voice fell, and the two white-robed men wearing white elephant masks and yellow crane masks stood below.

"Obey the orders of the temple master. After a while, the white-robed man with a white elephant mask laughed and said, "It just so happens that we have a few chess pieces in the Qi country that can be used to ensure that your old man in the Blood Hall is satisfied." ”

The blood-faced man nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The Divine Stone also needs to increase the intensity of collection, and only eleven have been found now, if the time is up, you will know the consequences if you can't complete the task." ”

Although the blood-faced man had always been as gentle as jade's understated voice, as soon as these words came out, all the people below couldn't help but shudder, as if they remembered something extremely terrifying.

After a while, a black-robed man wearing a rose mask on the right below made a crisp, magnetic sound

"Blood Palace, in the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer divine stones in the Burial Heaven Void, and only three of them have been fought over by the people on the side of White Emperor City this year. If we want to wake up in time to complete the task, are we going to the sect..."

The blood-faced man lowered his head and muttered for a while, "Now is not the time to turn his face with the sect, the time has not yet come."

White Emperor City... The Hu family does have a greater demand for divine stones, and it is also a family that has a bad relationship with us, so I or the ghost hall will take some time to find an opportunity to visit the old man Xiahu. What do you think of the Ghost Palace?"

The Blood-Faced Man turned his head to look at the dark blue throne beside him.

"Chatter, leave this matter to me, I haven't been out for a long time, and a few old bones are going to rust. ”

The black mist under the gray-robed man's hat tumbled, and the blue gold light brightened. An ethereal and hoarse voice sounded, as if it echoed throughout the hall, and it seemed to come out directly in his mind.

"During this time, the Blood Hall still seized the time to refine the 'True Spirit Quartet Ming Yuan Ding', and there have been traces of the 'Eight-winged Candle Bird' in the Southern Soul Mountain Range, and it will take the two of us to go over together. ”

"Oh, this bird has appeared? Looks like I'm going to have to hurry. The Blood-Faced Man seemed to be talking to himself, as if he were saying to the Grey-robed Man. ”

"Okay, that's all for this time, everyone hurry up and complete their tasks. The gray robe turned his head and looked down at the black and white robe.

Then a cloud of green smoke emerged from the gray robe, obscuring the figure and vanishing.

The blood-faced man immediately turned into a river of blood, and one by one swirled and flew away.

After a while, the black-and-white-robed people below also left one by one in various ways.

There was a soft "poof", and the blue lights in the hall were extinguished.

Leave behind a plaque of the Nine Ghosts carrying the coffin above the Black Thorn Throne. The plaque is engraved with a complicated font with Sen Luo Moth Wenyang.

If a well-educated person comes here, he will find that the inscription on the plaque reads 'soul'.

............

After Ouyang invited the girl into the small courtyard, he was embarrassed to find that the room was in chaos, with unfolded quilts, chairs in the room, and tables that were stained with a layer of dust. and half a pot of cold tea on the table, and half a pot of tea that I don't know when.

"This, senior sister, you wait in the courtyard first, and I'll clean the house before inviting you in. ”

Ouyang has been staying in the house to cultivate since the fight of life and death, and he will only go to the spiritual food hall to have a full meal unless he is hungry, and when he was in the Liang Kingdom before, as the little prince of Ouyang Mansion, he had a bunch of envoys to do these things. Although he is no longer a son, some problems of the children of the nobility are still left, such as not knowing the grains and not touching the spring water with his fingers. The remaining room in the courtyard was originally for disciples to entertain guests, but Ouyang had not opened the door since he took a look at it when he moved in.

Seeing Ouyang's embarrassment, Jingxiu burst out laughing. "The boy's house is exactly what I imagined, you big lazy worm. With that, he found a rag and began to wipe the dust off the table.

Ouyang looked at it and touched his head twice, and hurriedly went to the bed to fold the quilt. took a blue robe that was replaced and received it into the treasure bag while the girl was not paying attention.

After the two rooms were all cleaned, Jingxiu took a turn in the guest house: "You still lack a few chairs here, otherwise you won't be able to entertain the guests." ”

"Wait a minute," Ouyang said suddenly after looking at Jingxiu's face

The girl paused when she heard Ouyang's voice. Then he looked down suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

Ouyang stretched out his hand and gently wiped off a bit of ash from the girl's nose with his thumb.

"There's ash stuck to your nose. ”

At this time, Ouyang realized that the distance between the two was so close, and he could clearly smell the fragrance of osmanthus emanating from the girl's body, and exhale an orchid-like breath.

Jingxiu's face was covered with a bright flush, her body was stiff and motionless, and her big bright eyes became watery.

Finally the distance is getting closer. A soft, moist touch came from the mouth.

Ouyang could clearly feel the stiffness and delicate body of the other party under his arms.

After a while, Ouyang, who was not greedy enough, was ready to pry open the girl's teeth and taste the taste inside. At this time, Jingxiu suddenly pushed Ouyang away.

He took two deep breaths, and his face was so red that he seemed to be dripping blood.

"Senior brother, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do, and I will come back to look for you when I have time. ”

Jingxiu finished speaking in a somewhat trembling voice, covered her face and turned to leave.

After a while, Ouyang, who stayed in place, chuckled. Then his brow furrowed.

"That's not right, I have a dust repellent on my body, Senior Sister Xiu's cultivation of the third layer of Ming Qi should also be able to drive away dust, why do you need to clean it by hand?"
