The sunset is bleak and cold, and the dead leaves are withered and yellow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the instructions of the two old men, Mu Changqing and the others went to the direction of the mass grave before the sky was completely dark.
Along the way, there was a mess everywhere, and there were dead yellow and fallen leaves. The further I went, the cold wind was biting, and a breath of ghost mourning gradually became stronger.
In the wilderness, crows neighed, gusts of wind echoed, and there were clusters of green brilliance in the treacherous forest, which were imprinted on the face, and the ghosts were terrifying. On the ground, there are occasional dark papers, blown by the cold wind, dancing in the air, horizontal and vertical mountain graves, in this field, I don't know how many years of grinding, mottled tombstones, engraved with the names of the dead, have long been blurred.
The night was deeper, the moonlight was pouring, and among the mountain graves, blue smoke slowly rose from the ground.
At this moment, Mu Changqing and Lu Yao both pulled out their long swords, patrolled back and forth, moving step by step, all cautiously, Liu Ye was behind them, enduring the cold here, step by step, and did not dare to speak.
"The evil spirit here is very strong, we need to be more careful, the demon doesn't know when he will return, we will stay here first, and he will be caught off guard for a while!" Mu Changqing stopped, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he said softly to Lu Yao beside him, then he condensed himself and stopped talking, Lu Yao nodded in understanding, the two of them were fully prepared.
"Division... Senior brother and sister, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? I have heard many horror ghost stories from old people, this place is eerie and terrifying, will it... Speaking of the back, Liu Ye swallowed his saliva, he only felt that ghosts were more terrifying than monsters, and he shuddered when he heard the old people talk about it.
Mu Changqing couldn't help but smile slightly, but it made the atmosphere here no longer so terrifying, only to hear Lu Yao explain: "When a person dies, the light goes out, and there is no evil ghost, but after a person dies, he will turn into a dead soul, and the dead soul will go to their country, the Western Elysium, which is the capital of Xu." It is said that only the souls of the dead can reach the dead city, where the souls will be transcended, washed away from the memories of a lifetime in the Lethe River, and reincarnated as new beings. ”
Hearing Lu Yao say this, Liu Ye felt a lot more relieved, at this moment, a huge gust of yin wind suddenly beside him, swinging the sky and the dark paper, on the mountain tomb, there was a sound of Suo, looking around, the sound came from the mountain graves everywhere, but there were no living people, no living things.
I don't know when, many human corpses appeared next to the mountain grave, these corpses were all pale, without a trace of blood on their bodies, Liu Ye was so startled that he almost didn't shout.
Because a quarter of an hour ago, there was still no abnormality next to the mountain tomb, but now, there are more corpses, and the gusts of yin wind and evil qi disturb the mind, which is really terrifying.
Mu Changqing and Lu Yao carefully examined these corpses, there were no obvious injuries, they were all deaths caused by the essence being sucked dry, and it was indeed the work of the demons, but why did these corpses suddenly appear, it should be the monsters manipulating behind their backs, but there was no one around, it was really strange.
"Senior brother and sister, why don't we go back first, there's nothing here. After Liu Ye finished speaking, he suddenly heard a girl's shouting not far away, the voice was crisp, from far to near, gradually, it was close at hand.
Everyone looked up, their eyes directed towards the voice.
In the haze, a beautiful girl, dressed in a white dress, ran quickly, constantly shouting "Help." As if in some danger, Liu Ye saw that the girl was beautiful, stopped her, and asked her, "Girl, what happened?"
Mu Changqing and Lu Yao were also surprised, and when Liu Ye asked, they were about to listen to this girl.
"It's not good! Liu Ye, stay away from her!" Mu Changqing remembered for a while, how could there be a beautiful girl in this barren mountain and wilderness, shouting for help? I think it was the demon who had changed her appearance, and wanted to deceive everyone, and if she investigated carefully, there was indeed a demonic aura on this girl's body!
"Senior brother?" Liu Ye looked back at Mu Changqing, but he felt that his body was being absorbed by something, and a strong pulling force dragged him up to the sky, standing side by side with the top of the trees beside him. This force is greater than powerful, and Liu Ye has no room to resist at all.
"Demon, let go of my junior brother, otherwise you will be broken into thousands of pieces!" Mu Changqing's long sword was raised, pointing directly at the demon.
I saw that the demonic girl was carrying the willow leaf in one hand, without any difficulty, looked at the pair of men and women under her, raised the other hand, had a charming smile on her face, stroked it lightly on the willow leaf's face, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a disciple of Dengyun Peak, just two small paths, what kind of ability, to put such a big talk, if you have the ability, come with me!"
As soon as the words fell, the girl took the willow leaves and ran through the wilderness, disappearing from sight, only her laughter still echoed around.
"Hateful demon!" Mu Changqing chased after him, and Lu Yao did not hesitate. The two long swords work together, breaking through the strange and evil atmosphere beside them!
I don't know how long they have been chasing, but Willow Leaf has been fainted by the monster, and they finally saw the girl with Willow Leaf, come to the beach, get on a wooden boat, and go to the middle of the sea.
Mu Changqing and Lu Yao came to the beach, and were about to continue chasing after the sword, but they felt their bodies stunned and fell off the sword, and finally stabilized their bodies.
"Senior brother, it's not good! The water in the sea here is the rumored weak water, with our strength, it is impossible to fly the sword above the weak water, and the huge magnetic field is not something we can resist when it is above the weak water, and it seems that we can only take another wooden boat and chase the general. ”
Lu Yao sighed, fortunately, there was a wooden boat beside him, and I don't know if it was specially prepared for them, but Liu Ye was robbed by demons, and they had a great responsibility, even if they knew that this trip was a tiger's den in Longtan, and they would die for a lifetime, they could not retreat, and they would definitely rescue the little junior brother from the demons.
Without hesitation, they boarded the wooden boat together and chased after the small boat in front of them, and they could vaguely see the strange smile on the girl's face, and this determination to move forward knowing that there was a trap ahead seemed to make the other party enjoy it very much.
They don't know where this demon is sacred, why they robbed the willow leaves, and guided them to chase them in a small boat, this matter seems to be no longer as simple as the demon attacking the villagers, they always feel that this matter is premeditated, but they have to chase it.
When they came to the depths of the open sea, the wooden boat in front of them suddenly stopped moving forward, the sea was foggy, hazy, Mu Changqing accelerated the speed of rowing, and finally approached, but saw that there was only one person on the boat, Liu Ye, and the monster was missing!
The heart is very strange, this sea water is the rumored weak water, ordinary people are difficult to fly over the magnetic field of the weak water, but I don't know where the monster is at this time, if you really have the ability to control the sky above the weak water, it is too terrible, that is, on the top of the cloud peak, can do this, I am afraid that there are only a few immortals such as the head.
Ordinary demons, it is completely impossible to have such an ability, Mu Changqing shook his head, not thinking about that, for the sake of today's plan, it is important to save people first, and then return to Dengyun Peak and inform the head of everything.
They rowed the boat to Willow Leaf, and when they saw that he was okay and unharmed, but fainted, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Willow Leaf from the boat, rowed the boat, and were about to go back.
"Senior brother, in order to make sure that the little junior brother is awakened first, in case something happens, this monster has brought us here, it shouldn't be purposeless, the demon has always been ruthless, we have to be more careful. Lu Yao reminded beside her, and Mu Changqing felt that what she said made sense.
At the moment, condensing qi, a little on Liu Ye's chest, a stream of green qi surrounded Mu Changqing's fingertips, and at this point, Liu Ye coughed, and really woke up.
"Senior brother and sister, just now..." Liu Ye was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw that he was on top of the wooden boat, and turned his head to look under the boat, but it was an ocean, and the sea water was flooding, and there was no end in sight.
"Little junior brother, don't panic, just now you fainted, the demon took you hostage, and took you to the middle of the lake and sea with a wooden boat, although I don't know what her purpose is, but now it is no problem, we will row ashore and go back to the cloud peak. ”
Mu Changqing's words fell, at the bottom of the sea, there was a girl's figure, hidden in the deep water, seeing Liu Ye wake up, there was a charming smile on his face, and he said softly: "Very good, this is the result I want, master, is the person you are looking for?"
The girl chuckled, but Mu Changqing and the others didn't notice it.
Suddenly...
Turning over the sky, swirling endless waves, the sky and the sea suddenly disappeared, the sky swirls and reverses, the eyes are full of thunder and lightning flashes, and the wooden boat that keeps flashing and falling into the trap, in the wild waves, the demon thunder descends, the momentum is like a rainbow, suddenly the sky is shaken and the thunder is exploded, breaking the black clouds, the wooden boat is immediately hit in half, and the three people fall into the sea one after another!
In the depths of the water, there is a phantom swimming by, the body is thin and long, and it disappears in a flash, and the sea suddenly surges with endless whirlpools, and the huge rotating force engulfs the three of them in an instant!
In a critical situation, they each held each other's hands, and the three of them were being eaten away by weak water.
The three lives were gradually drawn closer by the death whirlpool, and the breath of life had already shown his fragility at this moment, the surging sea power, the tearing pain, spread all over the limbs, but they couldn't stop it, holding hands with each other!
"We must not let go, and we must never give up!" In the sea water, the firm determination, but can never withstand the devouring of the weak water power, the breath of life gradually collapses, and the beating heart will also stop his operation, ruthless swirl, sweeping away the sentient life!
The suffocating space, carrying huge water pressure, forcing the body to die, a heavy sense of powerlessness, sending people into endless darkness, silence and drowning!
However... At this moment, in the deep sea, a powerful eternal evil force suddenly erupted from the neck of the willow leaf and the black stone hanging from it, majestic momentum, turbulent and circular!
The willow body has changed magically, and the deep sea is turbulent!
The black stone hanging from the neck of the willow leaf, from which a wave of ancient magic gushed out, integrated into his body, the magic stone broke through the invisible shackles, the willow leaf turned into an ancient demon, and the hand carried Lu Yaomu evergreen, rushing to the sky!
