Chapter Twenty-Six: The Demon Guard
"Senior brother?" He Weiji exclaimed in surprise.
The people in the stone hall turned their heads when they heard the sound, their eyebrows were clear, who was it not Zhang Qiuchi?
"Senior Brother He, I can be regarded as finding you!" Zhang Qiuchu was also surprised and happy when he saw He Weiji, walked over in three or two steps, and looked at He Weiji for a long time: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's just Senior Brother, why did you come in too?"
"You still have the face to ask!" Zhang Qiuchi turned his face blank, "What kind of place is this ancient demon's cave, you don't say hello, just break in? The head of the sect ordered me to wait outside the cave and stay quietly, and not to move around without permission, but you turned a deaf ear! What a murderer is that evil living Buddha, who said that he would not let the Qingxu Sect enter the cave, but you just came in, if you are bumped into by the evil monk, what should you do? You are straightforward by nature, if you collide with the evil monk in your words, won't you want to bring ruin to the Qingxu Sect!"
This series of reproaches threw on He Weiji's face, which directly made him stunned for a while, before he replied in a low voice: "Senior brother, I know that I am wrong." ”
Zhang Qiuchi sighed: "Don't say those big words, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can the head of the sect explain to Uncle Kongji? How can I explain to Uncle Kongji? He only has a beginner disciple like you!"
He Weiji is not an unreasonable person, but he was eager to save people at that time, and he had no time to think about it, and he was admonished by Zhang Qiuchi at this moment, and he still fully understood what the consequences of his impulsive move would bring, and immediately lowered his head: "The disciple is guilty, so that the senior brother and the head master are bothered." ”
"Fortunately, with the blessing of the ancestors, you are safe and sound. Let's find a way out, this place is very dangerous, and you will follow me. ”
"Senior brother, there is no danger here?" He Weiji didn't know what the danger Zhang Qiuchi was talking about, this cave had been empty for tens of thousands of years, and there was only one unruly "danger", but it still didn't know where to fly.
"There are many dangers in this cave mansion, and there are guardian demon guards everywhere, how can there be no danger?" Zhang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, and asked He Weijidao, "Didn't you encounter danger all the way in?"
"yes. ”
"Strange, I have encountered three demon guards since I entered the cave mansion, the strongest one is already in the transformation stage, I almost lost my life, haven't you met any of them?"
"Demon guard, I haven't met, I've only met a demon king who is still in his prime. ”
"What, the demon king who is still in the void?" Zhang Qiuchi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
He Weiji told Zhang Qiuchi about the rescue and the unruly things he encountered.
"It turns out that this is the Jiuqu Cave Heaven of the Great Sage of Pingshan, and there is more than one stone hall like this in the cave, and the stone hall where you originally advanced is where the demon king is located?" Zhang Qiuchi analyzed, "There are still demon king guards in the void period, so naturally there is no need for these demon guards, which makes sense." This demon king didn't harm you, I can only say that Senior Brother He, your luck is good, but this Jiuqu Cave Heaven is still dangerous every step of the way, don't be careless!"
"That's what Senior Brother said. Senior Brother's cultivation experience is much higher than his own, He Weiji immediately said no more, pulled out the Chongyuan Sword and walked behind Zhang Qiuchi, carefully alert to possible dangers around him.
Unlike the unruly stone hall that He Weiji encountered, the stone walls around this stone hall were full of stone doors, and there were a few hundred stone doors, and Zhang Qiuchi had also entered this stone hall from behind another stone door before. He Weiji didn't know the formation, looking at the hundreds of stone gates around him, and he didn't know where to go, Zhang Qiuchi understood a little, lowered his head and counted for a while, pointed to the southwest and said, "Let's go this way." ”
The stone door would not open by itself, and Zhang Qiuchi had to break the door violently, but after all, he was a monk in the Jindan Realm, and it was much easier than He Weiji, only to see the golden light in his right hand, and he broke it with a press on the stone door.
"Senior brother, your 'Gold Destroying Hand' has improved again?" He Weiji said happily.
Zhang Qiuchi majored in his own "umbrella that covers the sky and the sun", although it can be attacked and defended, it is often difficult to solve the difficulty of close quarters, so Kong Ming Zhenren chose a "gold destroying hand" for him, which is also one of the few empty-handed combat methods in Qingxu Sect. It's just that Zhang Qiuchi has been negligent in practicing the gold destroying hand before, and he still needs to pinch the trick to perform, since entering the Jindan realm, the treasure umbrella sacrifice has been completed, so he has time to practice the gold destroying hand, but in those days, He Weiji has been immersed in the Qingxu Anode Sword on the martial arts platform and ignores foreign affairs, so I don't know.
"Don't flatter me, the demon guards in this Jiuqu Cave Heaven are very strong, even if the head and the uncles come, they don't dare to despise it, you and my cultivation is not enough at all. ”
He Weiji nodded, cheered up, and slowly moved forward behind Zhang Qiuchi.
Behind this stone gate is a deep tunnel, a hundred zhang long, and the end of the tunnel is dim. According to Zhang Qiuchi, the passages connecting the various stone halls are like this, and it seems that the study room that He Weiji passed by before is a special case. There was no wind or water in the tunnel, but He Weiji inexplicably felt a chill on his back, this feeling was the first time since he entered the Jiuqu Cave. The two walked forward slowly, and when they approached the end of the tunnel, Zhang Qiuchi suddenly stopped, and He Weiji's heartstrings suddenly tensed.
"Senior brother?"
"Shh......h Be careful, there are demon guards in front, and you can't see the cultivation. ”
He Weiji was shocked in his heart, he hadn't seen anything, and the senior brother knew that there was a demon guard in front of him, and he really deserved to be a monk in the Jindan Realm. Jindan, Yang God, and the Tribulation are the three most important passes on the road to Xiuzhen, as the saying goes, "The twelve passes of the Dan Road, the danger is only threefold, and the Yang God is refined, and the road to the Tribulation is the most fierce".
I saw Zhang Qiuchi take out a red fire talisman from his bosom and shoot it out towards the dim place. The Red Fire Talisman is just the simplest fire talisman, and its power is not much different from that of ordinary fire, but once it is sacrificed, it will be full of fire, completely illuminating this section of the tunnel and drawing out the hidden things in the darkness.
There's a demon guard hiding here!
Without waiting for the two of them to see clearly, two silver swaying three-strand forks attacked head-on, Zhang Qiuchi pulled He Weiji and flew back, and at the same time sacrificed an umbrella to cover the sky and the sun in front of him. The two silver forks struck the surface of the umbrella and sparks flew everywhere, and the force was so great that the umbrella trembled. Zhang Qiuchi reversed the treasure umbrella, opened the two silver forks, and carried the gold-destroying hand with his right arm to take advantage of the momentum and smash the door of the demon guard. The arm with a golden light was full of momentum, but a punch landed in the dark and thick palm.
He Weiji and Zhang Qiuchi only saw the face of the demon guard clearly at this time, but they were long and black, with red eyes and fangs, and they were born with only one hand and six arms, one hand holding a pair of three-strand silver forks, one hand holding a pair of male and female double swords, and one hand empty, blocking Zhang Qiuchi's gold-destroying punch at the moment.
"Six-armed Yaksha!" Seeing the true face of the demon guard, Zhang Qiuchi was shocked.
Yaksha is a branch of the East China Sea Clan, which is attached to the Dragon Clan all the year round, and does some things for the Dragon Clan to check the sea and patrol the sea, so it is also called "Patrol Yaksha". The Yaksha clan is vigorous and good at fighting, and the characteristic is that there are more arms than ordinary people, usually four arms, and those who are good at fighting in the clan can give birth to six arms, and even the Yaksha demon king can give birth to eight arms. And this demon guard in front of him is the leader of the Yaksha clan, a "six-armed Yaksha"!
However, although the demon guard has a demon character, it is not a demon clan, but a half-corpse and half-puppet that uses the corpse of the demon clan as a tool, and combines the art of the human race to refine the puppet and the technique of controlling the corpse, which is a slight discount compared to the strength of the previous life. The demon race is different from the human race, and there is no tradition of "the dead are great", so although the ghost refining corpse is a forbidden art in the human race cultivation realm, but the demon guard is very common in the demon race, usually not with the side to help, mostly used to guard the house and guard the cave, after all, although it is not taboo, but you are not sure if you will take a demon guard out, will you meet its relatives and friends on the way.
If the six-armed yaksha in front of him is still alive, he is also a great demon in the transformation period, equivalent to the Xuanmen Yuanying and even a monk of the Refining God Realm, even if Kong Ming Zhenren is not necessarily his opponent, and now he is refining as a demon guard after death, and it is not something that ordinary Jindan Realm monks can deal with. The Yaksha clan of the Patrol Sea is already physically strong, although the spiritual power is weak after turning into a demon guard, the physical body is better than before in the sacrifice, Zhang Qiuchi opened the mountain and cracked the stone with a move to destroy the golden hand, and was easily taken by this six-armed Yaksha empty-handed, how could he not be surprised.
