Chapter 43: The Demon Gate
Compared to Yuan Hao, who passed the test easily, the others were not so easy, and after a bloody battle, even if they succeeded in defeating three opponents, they would have to suffer a lot of injuries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After everyone finished the competition, the resolute middle-aged man stood up and said to Yuan Hao and the others who had successfully advanced: "Okay, you are now a member of my outer disciples of the Flame Demon Palace, now you come with me, and I will take you to the sect to go through the entry procedures." ”
Hearing the resolute middle-aged man say that he and the others were already members of the outer disciples of the Yan Demon Palace, whether it was Yuan Hao, who had easily advanced, or other scarred promotions, they were all relieved.
Although he is only a disciple of the outer gate of the Fire Demon Palace, he is also qualified to step into the mountain gate of the Fire Demon Hall in the Fire Demon Mountain Range. Therefore, after the resolute middle-aged man finished speaking, he took out a boat-style flying magic weapon and beckoned to Yuan Hao and the others: "Get on the boat, I'll give you a ride." ”
Although the Flame Demon City was also in the Flame Demon Mountain Range, it was still two or three thousand miles away from the real Flame Demon Palace, and after the resolute middle-aged man flew out of the Flame Demon City's protective array with Yuan Hao and the others, he accelerated towards the depths of the Flame Demon Mountain Range, which stretched for thousands of miles.
Yuan Hao also has a flying magic weapon, but the speed of his imperial envoy's flying magic weapon is not as fast as the thirty percent of this resolute middle-aged man, and on the flying boat of the resolute middle-aged envoy, he actually had a feeling when he was riding an airplane in his previous life.
Fortunately, this flying boat magic weapon itself comes with a shield to block the air flow and wind, otherwise they, the Qi Refining Stage cultivators, may need to bless themselves with a shield spell in order to stand firm on the flying boat.
Because the flight speed was too fast, Yuan Hao didn't want to see the scenery below at all, so he could only memorize the time in his heart to estimate the distance of this flight.
After flying with Yuan Hao and others for about an hour, the flying boat finally stopped by a vast lake. From the perspective of Yuan Hao and others, they couldn't see the opposite shore of this lake at a glance, and they could only vaguely distinguish that this lake was oval-shaped.
Just when everyone on the flying boat opened their eyes curiously to look at the big lake in front of them, the resolute middle-aged man suddenly took out a transmission note and spoke, after finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed, and the transmission note turned into a spiritual light and flew into the crystal clear lake water.
Judging from the actions of the resolute middle-aged man, it is not difficult to guess that this lake is the location of the mountain gate of the Flame Demon Palace. But Yuan Hao couldn't see any difference between this lake and a normal lake, because he could even see the small fish swimming in the lake and the swaying aquatic plants, and the steaming water vapor was not like something unreal.
Just when Yuan Hao and the others were observing the lake in disbelief, the surface of the lake, which was as ancient as a mirror, suddenly turbulent violently, as if some dragon beast was about to come out of the water.
Suddenly, the turbulent water of the lake turned into a huge wave and hit Yuan Hao and the others who stopped at the lake. Under the sudden attack, Yuan Hao and the others reflexively wanted to retreat and dodge, but the resolute middle-aged man urged the flying boat to meet the huge waves in the frightened eyes of Yuan Hao and others.
After the flying boat caught up with the huge waves, Yuan Hao and the others only felt that the lake and the huge waves had disappeared, and they were replaced by steaming volcanic magma.
They turned out to be on an active volcanic crater!
The resolute middle-aged man didn't explain anything to Yuan Hao and the others, and when Yuan Hao and the others looked at the churning and rolling volcanic magma in horror, he urged the flying boat to continue to rush into the volcanic magma that melted gold and iron.
Although he knew that this volcanic magma was also formed by the illusion array, when the flying boat rushed into the sky above the magma, Yuan Hao and the others also tensed their whole bodies, and they almost sacrificed the magic weapon to protect themselves.
Although in the face of real volcanic magma, it is useless for them to sacrifice magic weapons, but if the monks who dare to fight for their lives with God do not even dare to fight in the face of danger, what kind of immortals and demons will they cultivate!
It was a flower in front of them again, and the scene in front of Yuan Hao and the others once again turned from volcanic magma to a vast mountain.
Looking at the reckless mountains that rose from time to time, Yuan Hao and the others couldn't help but think in their hearts: "This time it should be the real Flame Demon Palace Mountain Gate." ”
The resolute middle-aged man didn't care what Yuan Hao and the others were thinking, after he glanced in a certain direction, he said to Yuan Hao and the others: "Okay, now this is where the mountain gate of my Flame Demon Hall is located, and the outer disciples who greeted you have already come, you can go with him to go through the entry procedures." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yuan Hao and the others to answer, the resolute middle-aged man directly threw them out of the flying boat, and then turned the flying boat into a streamer and flew towards the reckless mountains.
Fortunately, the floating position of the flying boat is not high, and Yuan Hao and the others just stumbled and stabilized their bodies after landing, if they were any higher, they would probably fall out like a dog eating.
As soon as Yuan Hao and the others stood up, a gray-robed and long-faced young man suddenly walked over to them and said coldly: "Follow me, if you get lost after falling behind, I won't pick you up." ”
Although the long-faced young man has a big tone, his cultivation is only at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period, and among Yuan Hao and the others, there are even the twelfth layers of the Qi Refining Period. However, they are all old oilers, and they know that they will first complete the entry procedures and confirm their identities, and then they will have a lot of time to settle accounts in the future. Therefore, they all acted as if they hadn't heard, and followed the long-faced young man who led the way with his head in front of him.
Compared to the outer gate of the Qingyang Gate where Yuan Hao had stayed, the scope of the outer gate of this Flame Demon Hall did not know how many times larger. Although the speed of their group was not very fast, after running for two hours in a row, they had run nearly three hundred miles no matter how they spoke, but the long-faced young man leading the way in front of them had no intention of stopping at all, and it was obvious that the location was still very early from the destination.
In the two hours of running, Yuan Hao and the others crossed seven or eight hills, waded through two small rivers, and encountered a large number of Qi refining period monks wearing gray robes along the way, and also saw many black-robed foundation building period monks who flew in the light.
But the monks didn't even glance at them, and they all hurried or rested on their own, and none of them asked a question or looked at them curiously.
Although he had long known that most immortal cultivators and demon cultivators would be very indifferent to outsiders because of their cultivation, in this Flame Demon Palace, Yuan Hao could be regarded as feeling what indifference was.
In the past, when he was in the Qingyang Gate of Twisting Yang Mountain, even if the disciples of the outer sect did not know each other, they would nod or politely say hello when they met in the door.
However, through the observation of these two hours, Yuan Hao found that those gray-robed people who should be outer disciples were not only indifferent or even ignored to those who had not yet started, but also treated their gray-robed fellow disciples who were also outer disciples with indifferent eyes.
"This is the Demon Dao! I used to hear how the Demon Dao monks were tyrannical and vicious, how insidious and cunning, how cruel and murderous, but in my opinion, those are just different means, only this indifferent mentality rooted in the heart of everything is the biggest difference between the real Demon Dao and the Immortal Dao, I am afraid that in the hearts of the Demon Dao monks, except for themselves, everyone is not credible or can be trusted, even if it is a biological parent, even if it is a brother and a lover, it is also not credible. ”
Yuan Hao had already understood when he was a killer in his previous life that any friendship, family affection, and love would only hinder himself, so he never made friends with anyone, let alone had feelings for anyone.
His ability to sit firmly in the position of the number one killer also has a lot to do with his style of acting.
After coming to this world of immortals and demons, because of the original "Yuan Hao", his cold heart was inevitably stained with mortal dust. Although he still hadn't been emotional, at least he hadn't deliberately avoided being emotional, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to the old man in the refining shop a few days ago.
Today's experiences in the Flame Demon Hall awakened Yuan Hao's ice heart that was about to melt, and he suddenly found that he was unconsciously as emotional as an ordinary person, which was shocking news for him.
"Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao, as a careless killer and a demon monk who aspires to immortality, what qualifications do you have to be emotional? What use do those things have for you? Your goal should be only one, that is, to become a demon supreme like the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon by any means, and only by becoming the supreme of the invincible realm can you pursue those extravagant feelings. ”
Although he spurred himself hard in his heart, even Yuan Hao himself knew that the effect of this spur would not be very good. A piece of ice that is melting under the scorching sun is useless just by giving it a parasol, and it will stop melting until it is put back in an ice cave or iceberg.
With something in his heart, Yuan Hao didn't even know when he would have arrived, if it weren't for a person who was traveling with him to remind him softly, he might have continued to run forward stupidly.
......
This is a square hall made of black stone, the main hall is about three zhang high, about five zhang wide, and there is a plaque named "Black Flame Palace" hanging on the door of the hall. On both sides of the Black Flame Hall, there were some low stone houses that were also made of black stone, and some gray-robed monks were constantly entering and exiting those stone houses.
When Yuan Hao looked at the Black Flame Hall and those stone houses, the long-faced young man who brought them here suddenly walked out from the gate of the Black Flame Palace. The long-faced young man originally had a hint of joy on his face, but when he looked at them, that joy disappeared in an instant.
He put away the long-faced young man with a happy face, and said to them coldly, "Now you can go in and go through the entry procedures for the outer disciples." After the young man finished speaking, he left the place without looking back, as if it would be an insult to him to stay any longer.
As soon as the long-faced young man left, Yuan Hao, the twelfth layer cultivator of the Qi cultivation among the dozen or so people, opened his mouth and scolded: "Phew, don't let me meet him in the future, otherwise I must let him understand that in our Demon Dao, we don't have the Immortal Dao's set of seniority." ”
