Chapter 268: Strange and Ghostly
The two walked along a path at the head of the bridge. The old man said without worry: "I hope we can pass the Immortal Valley in front of us safely." Li Xuan looked at him strangely and asked, "It's just a pile of rocks in front of you, what else can be dangerous?"
The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and he said, "There is indeed a pile of rocks in front, but it is also a place where the lonely souls and wild ghosts of the dead Salt Gang are haunted!" Li Xuan stopped and muttered: "Earlier, it was the treasure forest infested by illusory giant tigers, and it was a single-plank bridge with a strange wind wall, and now we will enter the fairy valley of lonely souls and wild ghosts...... Shang senior, you have led a good road!" The old man was still worry-free when he heard this, he was terrified, hunched his waist, lowered his head and said: "The old man has no other intentions. Shaoxia, this road is really the closest road to the Yellow River, if you don't believe it, or suspect that my old bones are making trouble, kill me now!" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not a murderer. ”
The road ahead was foggy, and it was impossible to distinguish between southeast and northwest.
Li Xuan looked up at the sky and saw that the shining sun above his head had been blurred into a blurred circle of light at some point. The faint light floated down, fell to the ground, and fell on the two of them, and there was a feeling of coldness. And those piles of strange rocks, looming in the gray, make people feel as if they are in a dream, not human. The wind blew slowly, the heavy mist flowed with the wind, and the earth seemed to become a rippling surface of water, undulating and shaking.
The old man walked cautiously behind Li Xuan, his steps scattered, and he seemed to be desperately suppressing the panic in his heart.
The two of them went deeper and deeper, and they had completely entered the rubble.
Although the name of this place is called the Valley of the Gods, it is actually not called a 'valley' at all. Although the surrounding rocks are tall and ethereal, and the road under your feet is unfathomable, it is incredibly flat. The surroundings were silent, the hair could be heard, Li Xuan walked, and heard the footsteps of himself and the old man who were still worry-free. The sound of empty footsteps, as if stepping on the gap of the heartbeat, makes people inexplicably irritable and restless. And the old man was still worry-free, and he couldn't keep up with Li Xuan's rhythm, walking slower and slower, and gasping more and more violently. Li Xuan felt strange and stopped, and was about to turn back to comfort the old man Shang Wuwu for a few words, when he suddenly heard a 'poof' on the ground, and a shriveled and pale arm wrapped in tattered sleeves stretched out, impartially, and grabbed his ankle.
There are many horrors in the world, and this should be one of them.
Li Xuan's martial arts were at the top, and when he encountered a surprise attack, the empty phase in his body naturally gave rise to a reaction. He didn't look at it, his right foot was tapped, his body was raised three feet, and his left foot flew up in the air when he volleyed, kicking the shriveled and white withered hand. In the dim gray, he only heard a crisp sound of 'click', and his withered hand was kicked off by him, flying out and crashing into the pile of rubble. This place is indeed full of strange things! He landed slowly, looked around, and saw that not only was there nothing around, but even the old man was nowhere to be seen.
Although he felt secretly surprised, after experiencing several strange things, his heart had already become more and more calm. The sound of 'click' came muffled in his ears, the sound flew past his ears, and hit the stone pile on the left, continued to bounce, and hit the stone pile on the right side, and in just half a breath, the sound of 'click' not only did not weaken, but with the dull reverberation, it became stronger and stronger.
Li Xuan maintained a landing posture and stood in place, his left palm slightly bent, horizontal in front of his chest, and his right palm pinched, like a peacock spreading out the screen, his whole body was condensed up and down like Mount Tai, and like a huge wave flying up, if it fell, it was bound to rush forward, unstoppable.
Although the surrounding sounds became more and more dull, they became more and more rapid with the flowing fog, and became louder and louder, until in the end, it became a galloping trend of thousands of horses, and in the roaring sound, the yellow sand and dust were rolled up, wave after wave, and they rushed towards Li Xuan one after another.
Li Xuanhe had seen such a reaction caused by a voice, even if he was on the defensive and unbreakable, he would inevitably be surprised. The wind continued to blow, the 'click' sound continued to reverberate, the mist continued to flow, and the yellow sand and dust continued to swirl. No one can describe the strangeness of this situation, and no one can predict the final outcome. Seeing that the yellow sand and dust were about to completely envelop Li Xuan, Li Xuan suddenly flew up and jumped up, volleying in the air, with both palms and feet constantly attacking in all directions.
Could it be that someone took advantage of the yellow sand and flying dust to attack it?
Li Xuan was able to levitate his body, he was in the air, his moves were non-stop, and the sound of 'bang' and 'click' kept coming from the swirling yellow sand and dust that was getting closer and closer. The more sounds, the louder and louder they become, and the louder and louder sounds are intertwined, and they form a greater reverberation, so overlapping and overlapping, mixing and mixing, it is like the gods beating the drum of heaven and earth, shaking the universe. At this time, Li Xuan, who was not said to be flesh and blood, was in it, and he was afraid that the giant made of stainless steel and black iron would also be crushed into powder by this mixed sound wave.
Seeing that the swirling yellow sand and dust had completely involved Li Xuan, he saw that the earth-shattering mixed sound waves were about to tear him to pieces. I saw a blue light tear through the yellow dust, and the light that rushed out of the sky cut through the darkness, first a hole, and then another, in less than a thousandth of an instant, the blue light changed thousands of ways, and when attacking from all sides, it not only pierced and tore apart the pockets intertwined with the yellow dust sound waves, but also stabbed the surrounding rocks and stabbed the surrounding rocks and flew in the air. This heaven and earth have re-entered the chaotic world, and only when the blue light stops can heaven and earth be divided into yin and yang, and all things can see the light again.
I don't know when, the sound wave of yellow dust has disappeared without a trace.
Li Xuan stood in place with the sword of the black god in his hand, looked around, and saw that under the fog that was still circulating, there were white broken arms and mutilated skeletons all over the ground. It turned out that it was these dry bones that had been buried for many years that attacked him when the yellow sand and dust were swirling! Who brought them back to life? His danger had not yet been lifted, so he must not act rashly, clutching his sword trick and searching intently.
The sword of the black god flashed with blue light, like a lover's eyes in the mist, blurred and trance. Li Xuan knew that if the sword of the black god was not out of the sheath, it would be fine, but whenever it came out of the sheath, he had to drink blood and return, otherwise the sharpness of the sword would definitely weaken a little. At this time, after experiencing the strange battle of yellow sand and dust, the sword of the black god still glows blue, which proves that it is not flesh and blood that is attacking him.
Mist, yellow dust, dry bones, overlapping soundwaves, strange attacks...... No matter who you are, if you are in such an atmosphere environment, you can still stabilize yourself, and you are indeed an extraordinary person.
At this moment, Li Xuan heard the old man still groan. His heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Where is Senior Shang, are you injured?" The old man Shang Wuwu seemed to be injured a lot, and his voice was full of pain, but he seemed to be trying his best to endure it, because Li Xuan heard his teeth clenching 'clucking'. After a while, the old man was still worry-free before he said slowly: "I was hit by an inexplicable flying arrow in my waist, and I couldn't straighten my waist." Alas...... Shaoxia, you go first, don't worry about my old bones!"
Li Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Don't say that you were injured by leading the way for me, even if I see a stranger injured, I can't leave." Senior Shang, you try to take a walk, my side is very weird, you find a safe place, don't come over. ”
The old man Shang Wuwu let out a 'clucking' sound of gritting his teeth again, and said tremblingly: "It's really weird here, you don't have to worry about me, let's go!"
Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I won't go......" said in his mouth, and involuntarily swept towards the place where the old man was still worry-free. The fog was misty, and the piles of rocks were intricate, and he didn't dare to go too far, so he could only gently sweep up. But when others were in the air, before they fell, they suddenly heard the sound of the stone pile on the left side 'Peng', and a nine-ring big-eared knife slashed diagonally. The sword wind was strong, and it came suddenly, Li Xuan couldn't see the incoming move clearly in the misty air, so he could only rely on the natural reaction of the divine power body shield to temporarily change his move. He discerned the direction of the broadsword, flicked his fingers, and hit the spine of the broadsword. With a 'bang', the big knife couldn't resist the strength of his bending, and swung half a foot outward. But at this time, the stone pile on the right side was 'Peng' again, and a barbed dragon steel spear flew out, impartial, and stabbed at Li Xuan, who was in a somewhat falling situation.
In the face of such a strange sneak attack, no matter who it is, there will be a feeling of sadness, helplessness, and despair that a blind man has entered the wolves.
Li Xuan let out a long roar, using the levitation method, his body did not fall but rose, and at the same time as he suddenly pulled up four or five zhang, the black god sword in his hand swung out like lightning. With a 'bang', the head of the barbed dragon steel spear that was cut off by him fell to the ground, but it bounced up instantly, like a maggot attached to the bone, shooting towards Li Xuan's lower abdomen. This series of changes is incredibly fast. Although it was a matter of the blink of an eye, it was linked one by one, one move after another, so that he didn't have time to react at all.
There are no rules, and if you blindly pursue the rules, there will be no innovation. If Li Xuan responds to the routine at this time, not to mention innovation, only one interlocking move after another, it will definitely make him tired.
Shicai nine-ring big ear knife and barbed dragon steel spear is to the left and right as the attack route, then there must be upper, middle and lower three ways and front and rear offensives, if you blindly defend and counterattack, you will inevitably fall into a series of dangers, so it is urgent to find the 'seven inches' of this offensive snake, and capture the head of the attack. This is to fight the snake and hit the seven inches, and capture the thief first to capture the king.
Li Xuan's mind spun, his body flicked in the air, and he pulled up more than ten zhang like a meteor, and at the same time, the black god sword in his hand turned into a blue light, protecting his body, looking down into the air, only to see that in the misty mist, a stone pile at the far right was dark yellow, which was not only different from other stone piles with mixed colors, but also looked much taller and stronger.
He twisted in the air, and the human sword merged and struck straight down.
The sword is still the sword of the black god, and the person is still the same person, although Li Xuan flew into the air, and the move he used was not the 'Demon Killing Sword', but this sword was almost to the point of being dazzling and peerless. When you shoot with a sword, you must have the certainty that you will win with one blow. A sword shot must achieve the effect of cutting the enemy's central head. With a 'boom', the dark yellow stone pile was pierced open by Li Xuan's sword, like a skin bag filled with water being punctured by a steel cone, and the flying stones were like splashing water droplets, flying all over the sky.
Li Xuan landed steadily, and coldly watched a lewd man in a white linen robe staggering out of the blasted stone pile.
The man clutched his chest, and a stream of blood slowly flowed out of the corner of his mouth. He stared at Li Xuan with his fine rat eyes, and sighed: "You know Zhuge Liang's chaotic formation, you actually know how to crack the 'base' block in the chaotic formation?"
Zhuge Liang's chaotic array is one of the extremely mysterious formations in ancient times. There are three eyes in this array, namely the eye of the sky, the eye of the human being, and the eye of the earth, and the corresponding functions are to gather energy, command the center, and assist in setting up ambushes. If it is combined according to the formation, it can be divided into 14 blocks, such as death, injury, flash, turn, reduction, darkness, light, base, dao, gram, yuan, air, matter, and god. These blocks have their own functions and are connected to each other, and they are interlocking with each other, or they are intertwined, or they are reversed. In short, although Zhuge Liang's chaotic array won with the word 'chaos', its 'chaos' was not chaotic, and it was only the people who broke into the formation.
Li Xuan said lightly: "I not only know Zhuge Liang's chaotic formation, and I know how to break the 'base' block, but I can also crack other blocks." Hey, Your Excellency looks like a roe deer and has a lewd appearance, but you can command and drive the formation, and you must not be a nobody. Who the hell are you? Who made you play tricks here?" The rat-eyed man squeaked and laughed a few times, like a mouse gnawing on a wooden box, and the roots of his teeth itched when he heard it, and said miserably: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you have offended the big man." Li Xuanqi said: "What big man did I offend?" The rat-eyed man laughed miserably, trembled his hands, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a 'boom', and a broken arm bone pierced behind him.
The rat-eyed man screamed and wanted to turn around to see the direction where the dry bone arm was shot, but he shook a few times and fell to the ground.
Li Xuan was taken aback and wanted to come to the rescue, but it was too late. He jumped on the stone pile on the left side, looked around, and saw that although the fog was a little lighter, it was still in a mist because the light and shadow began to slope westward. According to the gist of Zhuge Liang's chaotic formation, although the 'base' block is commanded by one person, other blocks should also have someone in command to hide in it.
He carefully observed the pile of rocks, and found that compared with the Zhuge Liang Chaos Formation on the top of the King's Mountain, the formation of the stones here was not only reduced by most of the part, but also the calculation between the stones and the stones was very inaccurate, and even some were simply piled up, and there were obviously no mysterious mechanisms hidden in them. It seems that this formation has not been around for a long time, but has been formed recently.
When Li Xuan was silently calculating the film, he jumped down and said loudly: "Senior Shang, where are you now?" After a long time, the faint and painful voice of the old man was still worry-free in the northwest corner: "Shaoxia, I'm here...... I am here. Li Xuan looked at the direction, flew up, and swept past with a few ups and downs. At this time, he had completely understood the formation of these rocks in front of him, and it was the hills and ravines in his chest that the road was naturally easy. The old man was still carefree, curled up behind a pair of rocks, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his head. Li Xuan leaned down to inspect it, and saw that the third and fourth segments of his back spine were out of place, so he used his internal breath to help him restore the misplaced spine to its original position with the technique of splitting the muscles and bones. The old man jumped up and muttered, "This ghost place! The young man is right, this is not the Valley of the Gods, this is indeed a ghost place." ”
The northwest corner is already the edge of the pile of rocks, there is no fog, and not far forward can also see more than a dozen strong and upright ancient pines, between the ancient pines is a green meadow, wild flowers on the grass, colorful appearance, people sprout and cozy.
Li Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had walked out of a few piles of rocks on his side, he completely walked out of the chaotic formation. He saw that the old man was still carefree, his face was pale, and his expression was extremely tired, so he said, "Since we have left this ghost place, let's go to the front and rest." The old man looked back at the chaotic stone formation that was still in the mist, his eyes were full of fear, the corners of his eyes trembled, and he muttered, "It's better to leave quickly...... Although my martial arts are low, I have always been conceited about my courage. Now, after these dangerous events, I don't dare anymore...... Shaoxia, although we arrived at Hutoupo at a leisurely time, this is really not a place to stay for a long time. I think we're going to get out of here. ”
As he spoke, he stumbled and nearly fell.
Li Xuan looked at him, shook his head and said, "Since the time is quite calm, then let's not worry." After a pause, he said arrogantly: "Don't say that we have escaped, even if we were in the chaos of rocks before, aren't we still safe!" said the two, and they had reached the green space among the ancient pines. Although the old man is stubborn in his mouth, he really can't support it. He sat under the Panasonic and gasped and said to Li Xuan: "Okay, just listen to Shaoxia, let's rest and leave." Li Xuan nodded, sat down under the ancient pine opposite him, closed his eyes slightly, and breathed quietly.
The light and shadow are slanting westward, and the wind is blowing slowly, which seems to be warm but cool.
The weather in April is nothing special, but it is the most comfortable season. Li Xuan sat cross-legged, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, deeply accepting and slowly vomiting, and in a moment, he entered the realm of selflessness. He ran the inner breath for nine small weeks, and saw that the old man had no worries about sleeping, thinking that there was still time, so he closed his eyes and waited, but he didn't expect that after a while, he also fell asleep.
