Chapter Ninety-Six: Strange Flowers

、、、、、、、

Dawang Village.

Xiaohuan stood at the entrance of the village, looking at Death Ze with some concern, only to see that in the direction of Death Ze, the sky was still clear in the morning, and now it has gradually darkened, and it seems that there will be another heavy rain.

Late last night, she was in the dead Ze with her grandfather Zhou Yixian and Jin Zhu'er and others, but after Jin Bei'er came back from a trip, she looked very tired, and at the same time sent the two of them out of the dead Ze overnight.

Xiaohuan asked Jin Zhu'er in private, but Jin Zhu'er was silent, and only said: "Now in this dead river, the situation is far more dangerous than I expected, and if you stay here, I am afraid that you will harm yourself." ”

Xiaohuan has always believed in this sister's words, and left Death Ze with Zhou Zhou Xian that night, and at the same time, according to the instructions of the golden bottle, he prepared today and left here. It's just that she has known Jin Zhu'er for a long time, and it was the first time she saw Jin Zhu'er look so solemn last night.

She thought about it, and couldn't help but secretly start to worry about this sister.

"Little Ring!"

A familiar call came from behind, Xiaohuan turned around, and sure enough, it was Zhou Zhou Xian who walked over quickly, only to hear him say: "Everything is packed up, let's go!"

Xiaohuan nodded silently, but couldn't help but ask Zhou Xian: "Grandpa, do you see that Sister Bottler is in the midst of death, will it be dangerous?"

Zhou Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "How do I know?"

The corners of Xiaohuan's mouth twitched, glaring at him, after all, Zhou Xian still loved this granddaughter in his heart, sighed, saw that there was no one left and right, walked to Xiaohuan's side, and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, we have followed the golden bottle to meet the disciples of the Immortal Hall several times, but since last night, have you ever seen the disciples of the Immortal Hall?"

Xiaohuan was startled.

Zhou Zhou Xian smiled, his face gradually showed a different look from his previous hippie smile, his eyes gradually sharpened and brightened, and said: "Especially when you met that fish-headed monster that day, I heard it clearly next to me, and it was the young masters of the other two major sects of the Demon Sect, the Ghost King Sect and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, who met with the Golden Bottle, Ghost Li and Qin Wuyan. At this time, these three people are meeting within the forces where the main hall of the Immortal Hall is located, what do you say they will do?"

Xiaohuan frowned together, and suddenly lost his voice for a while: "Grandpa, do you mean ......?"

Zhou Zhou Xian intercepted: "Yes, I'm afraid that the Immortal Hall, which has been glorious for eight hundred years, will be destroyed in the hands of these three young evil stars, how good Yuyangzi is, he is actually ......" He sighed, his expression suddenly fell, and he was silent for a long time, and said: "Now the internal fighting of the Demon Sect is becoming more and more intense, but there is also intrigue in the righteous path, Qingyunmen's vitality was greatly injured ten years ago, and it has not recovered so far." In this world, I'm afraid it's going to be miserable again. ”

Xiaohuan was stunned, Zhou Zhou Xian let out a sigh of relief, suddenly perked up, smiled, and said: "If the world is in chaos, let him go in chaos! What does it have to do with us? Go, we will continue to benefit the people in the world." ”

Xiaohuan was dumbfounded, but Zhou Zhou Xian didn't seem to care at all, walked over and picked up the burden, holding the bamboo pole tied to the "immortal guide" in his hand, and turned around to greet Xiaohuan, but he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes looked behind Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan saw that his grandfather's eyes were strange, and he hurriedly turned to look, and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see the wild dog Taoist with a gloomy face and walked over from the direction of Death Ze, his eyes swept away, but he saw Xiaohuan and Zhou Zhou Xian standing at the entrance of the village.

Early this morning, the wild dog Taoist who had been following the ghost Li was suddenly ordered by the ghost to leave the dead Ze immediately, the wild dog was stunned, but he actually vaguely knew in his heart that it was extremely dangerous in the dead Ze now, and there were benefits to walking, but the young man of the ghost Li said a few words coldly with a straight face, and his heart was very unhappy, and he scolded and scolded along the way, and walked out angrily.

At this moment, he suddenly encountered Xiaohuan at the entrance of the village, and the wild dog somehow jumped in his heart, and subconsciously bypassed the side, and he didn't know what he was afraid of?

Unexpectedly, he didn't take two steps, but Xiaohuan's voice came from behind: "Dao Chief, wait!"

The wild dog was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, Zhou Zhou Xian frowned and walked to Xiaohuan's side, and said angrily: "What do you tell him to do?"

Xiaohuan glared at Zhou Xian, ignored him, smiled on his face, walked over, took out an umbrella from the burden around him, and said to the wild dog: "Dao Chief, I haven't returned your umbrella yet?"

The wild dog glanced at the umbrella twice, his face was cloudy, he was in a trance for a while, and he didn't reach out to pick it up, Xiaohuan didn't care, put the umbrella into the hand of the wild dog Taoist, smiled at him, and said, "Thank you so much that day." ”

The Wild Dog Daoist suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have some eyes dazzled, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Xiaohuan walked back to Zhou Xian's side, took the burden from Zhou Xian's hand, and said, "Let's go! ”

Zhou Zhou Xian glared at the wild dog who was standing in place, followed Xiaohuan, and said to himself, "Why do you keep smiling at him?"

Xiaohuan said angrily: "Grandpa, people are good people!"

Zhou Zhou Xian snorted and said, "He is a good person, am I not the reincarnation of the Buddha?"

Xiaohuan and Zhou Zhou Xian's figures gradually moved away, and the voice gradually became quieter, the wild dog stood in place, holding the umbrella in his hand, motionless, and I don't know how long it took, suddenly paused, strode up, and walked in the direction where Xiaohuan and Zhou Zhou Xian went.

After their figures disappeared one by one, calm returned to Dawang Village, and in a corner a few feet away from the entrance of the village, there stood a man and a woman, the man was dressed in white, and the woman was masked in a black veil, it was Qinglong and Youji.

Qinglong said lightly: "What is the origin of this Zhou Immortal, do you know?"

Yuhime, who was hidden behind the black veil, didn't speak, but saw the black veil swaying slightly, as if shaking her head slightly.

Qinglong pondered for a moment, there seemed to be a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then said: "This person is not simple, and his granddaughter actually has dealings with the golden bottle of the Hehuan faction, so she needs to pay more attention in the future." ”

Youji was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Let's go! ”

Qinglong glanced at her, a faint trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but his face remained silent, and said, "Yes, let's go!"

After speaking, the two of them slowly walked out of Dawang Village, but the direction of their journey was the opposite of Zhou Zhou Xian and the others, heading towards the Death Swamp.

I don't know where the wind blows, sweeping through the heavens and the earth, and there is a faint smell of desolation.

It seemed to be a little darker.

"Boom!"

There was a thunderclap in the dark clouds, and the raindrops the size of beans suddenly fell, drenching the whole world, gray, and the ghost stood on the top of a big tree, looking around.

In fact, according to common sense, once the miasma of the evil water in the ordinary mountains encounters rain, it will tend to converge and fall silent, but the poisonous miasma in the dead river seems to be not afraid of the rain at all, regardless of the wind and rain, it is still towering and unmoving.

Ghost Li slowly turned his head and looked forward, but he saw that in this inner ze, a dense forest was growing unexpectedly, and he looked at it at a glance, but in the miserable wind and bitter rain, this forest also spread infinitely, I don't know how far away? And the rain was quite heavy, although the sight was much clearer than just now in the miasma, but still couldn't see too far.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Suddenly, the branches around him jumped a few times, it turned out that Xiao Ash, who had just left, jumped on the branches and ran back, jumped back to Ghost Li's shoulder two or three times, and actually picked a few wild fruits out of nowhere in his hand, grinned, handed one to Ghost Li, covered three or four wild fruits in his hand, and opened his mouth to chew.

Ghost Li smiled slightly, took it and took a bite, only to feel that the entrance was green, but there was another taste.

At this time, the rain is getting heavier, the thunder is endless, and the ghost Li does not use the magic weapon to resist, let the rain fall on the body, Xiao Ash sits on the shoulder of the ghost, and the hair on his body gradually becomes wet, but it seems that he doesn't care much, only cares about the fruit in his mouth, "Ka Ji Ka Ji" is eating Zhenghuan, and the old man's tail is stretched out behind the ghost Li and dangles over, stretching over and shaking over, and it is quite interesting to watch.

Ghost Li slowly ate the wild fruit in his hand, and suddenly said softly: "Xiao Ash, you also recognized her just now, right?"

Little Gray thought that he was still chewing on the wild fruit, and muttered a few times indistinctly, and a pair of monkey eyes glanced at the ghost a few times.

Ghost Li didn't seem to think about what answer he could get from the monkey, but said to himself, "Why didn't she kill me?

"Boom!"

Ash didn't answer, but a thunderclap rang out in the sky.

The ghost slowly looked up at the sky, and the rain was all over the sky, like a knife and a sword, turning into thousands and pouring down......

His body trembled slightly, and suddenly his mind flew away, as if he had returned to the night of his youth, when he was outside the village with the kind old monk, and he was talking to himself calmly.

This scene was engraved in his deep heart, and he has never forgotten it for many years.

His hands were clenched, his nails were sinking deep into his palms, and even his body began to tremble with excitement. At this moment, the soul devouring that was nestled in his sleeve was also shining almost at the same time as usual, and the familiar cold feeling swam all over his body, and the fierce aura on the blood devouring beads seemed to be condensed little by little in his eyes.

Ash snorted uneasily over his shoulder.

In the sky, a lightning bolt pierced the long sky, the ghost roared violently, and flew up, the whole body was full of red light in mid-air, the right arm was stretched out, and the soul devouring had already reached the hand, only to see the blue light condensed into a huge light in the rain, and it was slashed down.

At this moment, his eyes were full of blood-colored red light, his face was full of murderous aura, his face was distorted, and his mouth roared like a wild beast.

This huge green mang Huo Ran chopped down, and the big tree that was still standing just now was forcibly split in half from the middle by him, and collapsed to both sides.

Bang!

In the sky, another thunderclap sounded.

Ash jumped to the side and looked at him silently.

Ghost Li knelt on one leg in the rain-soaked filthy dirt, his right hand clutching the Soul Eater, his whole body trembling, his eyes flashing with fierceness, but his face was full of pain.

Who knows the pain of his sinking......

A peaceful positive yang qi rose in his body.

On the clothes that were soaked by the rain, at the place of his right arm, a circular glimmer suddenly lit up, and this positive yang qi was extremely pure, coming out of the "Xuanhuo Jian" tied to his right arm, and then entering the body, gradually resisting the ferocious qi of the blood devouring beads.

After a long time, the blood-red light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his face calmed down, and on the other hand, the magic weapon light emitted by the Soul Eater and Xuanhuo Jian gradually faded and finally disappeared.

As if he had experienced a big battle, Ghost Li slowly got up, looking tired. In the past ten years, he has practiced the Demon Dao Heavenly Book day and night, and the natural ferocity of the Blood Devouring Bead is even more immersed day and night, I don't know how many times he has been controlled by the Demon Qi of the Blood Devouring Bead in such a dangerous way today, but after all, he still has the Taiji Xuanqing Dao and the Great Brahma Prajna in his body, which are all righteous and supreme cultivation of the true law, which can barely resist it.

But the most important thing is that whenever he is about to lose his mind, another mysterious magic weapon on his body, Xuanhuo Jian, will always emit a magical and pure masculine energy, pulling him back from the path of completely sinking into the Demon Killing Path.

It's just that he doesn't know how long he can resist this innate monster devouring blood beads, and for him, whenever he thinks of the past and Baguio, that kind of torture is really painful. If it weren't for his stoic nature, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

And these things, but the shrewd as the king of ghosts, has never noticed, unaware that the most powerful person under his command is on the verge of madness day and night.

He slowly stood up and opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice was hoarse: "Little Ash, let's go!"

Little Grey blinked, and jumped back obediently, jumping on his shoulder two or three times.

Ghost Li gently stroked Xiao Ash's hair, his lips moved, but after all, he didn't say anything, took a deep breath, took a step, and walked towards the depths of the forest ahead.

In the inner swamp of death, shrouded in rain, nothing seemed to be heard between heaven and earth except the sound of wind and rain, and there was silence in the ancient and dense forest, the rain hit the branches and leaves, and the water droplets slid down.

Skyrim, another thunderclap!

The rain had been raining for half an hour, and it still didn't stop.

Lin Jingyu wiped his face and wiped the water droplets off his face, but after a while, another piece of rain came down. He smiled wryly and gave up his efforts.

He was in the middle of an ancient forest, and he was the only one in front of him. Being alone in this wild, dangerous and strange place really has an inexplicable sense of fear.

Originally, Qingyunmen, Zhengdao Tianyin Temple, and Incense Valley were all outstanding young masters who entered Neizeli together. But when they crossed the wall of miasma, first of all, the incident happened suddenly, and they encountered a strange eye of the storm in the middle, which caused everyone to rush into chaos, and before they could stabilize, a huge monster suddenly appeared in the miasma, passing through them.

Because of the miasma, no one could see the appearance of the monster clearly, and the monster seemed to be just passing by, and did not make any moves to hurt them, but the body was too large, although everyone was extremely high, but in the danger everyone flew away in panic, and in the miasma storm, it was so lost.

Lin Jingyu flew all the way, relying on the "Dragon Slaying Sword" to protect himself, rushed out of the miasma, and also came to this ancient Neze forest. And the location he rushed out of was actually only a few dozen miles away from where the ghost was located.

These two childhood friends, who were once like brothers, are now unaware of the situation. It's just that, even if they knew, what they are facing is only a more painful scene, right?

Lin Jingyu naturally didn't know all this, he looked up at the sky, only to see that the dark clouds were still thick, it seemed that this rain would fall for a long time, he couldn't help but curse a few words in a low voice, muttered for a while, and finally walked forward.

Walking through the forest, in fact, there is no road at all, in addition to those tall trees, the forest is also full of dense and lush thorn shrubs, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, strange beasts and poisonous insects that have never appeared in the world outside the dead Ze, from time to time appeared in front of Lin Jingyu's eyes.

It's just that after a while, Lin Jingyu has already been in danger several times, if he wasn't smart and alert, his cultivation has surged a lot in the past ten years, and he would have suffered a big loss.

"Woo!" With a sound, the dragon slashing sword slashed through a blue mang, cutting a red poisonous snake that pounced from the branch next to it into two pieces, and at the same time, Lin Jingyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rose into the air, with the power of the magic weapon, volleyed into the air.

He was in mid-air, only then was he a little relieved, and at the same time secretly surprised, in this inner ze, it was really one step and three surprises, the danger was far better than the outer ze, I really don't know where so many xenomorph poisonous insects came from?

He glanced underground, the remnants of the crimson viper were still struggling and twisting on the ground, as if they were not dead, and in addition to this viper, he had also encountered the attacks of poisonous scorpions, toads, and xenolizards just now, which was really dangerous.

Originally, Lin Jingyu still thought that he didn't have to waste his physical strength and walked underground for a while, but now he didn't dare to land easily anyway, he raised his eyes in mid-air, and suddenly his body shook.

I saw that in the depths of the forest in front of me, behind the rain, a golden light suddenly flashed, mixed with the wind and rain, and there was a faint sound of people shouting.

Lin Jingyu was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't hesitate, hurriedly urged the magic weapon, and flew towards the golden light.

He flew in the sky with such a magic weapon, how fast it was, it didn't take a moment to fly closer, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the forest here was strangely vacant of the boss's clearing, but in the middle of a puddle, there was a strange flower.

This flower is extremely huge, with a diameter of several zhang, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there is such a different species in this world.

Looking down from mid-air, the lower end of the flower body is cyan, but the upper end is divided into countless branches, showing a bright red color, and the red and green colors in the middle are clearly distinguished, and a dividing line is clearly visible. And at the end of the red branches at the top of the end, there are small balls that are as clear as dewdrops, and the water on them is drenched, and I don't know if it is rain, or if it is like this?

In this wind and rain, this strange flower trembles lightly with the wind, and there is a faint sweet fragrance spread in the wind.

Lin Jingyu was stunned, and then his attention was attracted by the two people and one beast next to this strange flower, and at a glance, there was joy on his face, and he saw that the two people standing in the field were Zeng Shushu who returned to the peak of the same door, and the law of Tianyin Temple.

Meeting acquaintances in this strange place, Lin Jingyu was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help but cry out.

The two of them in the field suddenly heard the call, they were all shocked, turned their heads to look, and saw that it was Lin Jingyu rushing down, they were all overjoyed, but after a while, Zeng Shushu pointed to Lin Jingyu to look forward, Lin Jingyu calmed down, and was suddenly startled by the monster in front of him.

Originally, the monster that confronted Fa Xiang and Zeng Shushu was also extremely strange, but first, Lin Jingyu was shocked by the huge strange flower in front of them in mid-air, and secondly, he was too happy to see them, and he didn't even pay attention to the monster in front of him for a while. At this moment, I saw that this monster looked like a monster, and there was a person who was tall, with a blue body, light red eyes, a red tail, fangs in its mouth, and wings on its back, as if it were a vicious bird. (Note 2)

At this moment, Dan saw that the monster roared in a low voice, its wings vibrate, and suddenly a gust of wind mixed with rain rushed over.

Lin Jingyu fell beside Zeng Shushu and Fa Xiang, the three of them had their backs to Qihua at the moment, Lin Jingyu frowned and took a step back.

Unexpectedly, Fa Xiang's face suddenly changed color, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand from the side to grab Lin Jingyu, and said in a low voice: "Don't get close to that flower!"

Lin Jingyu was stunned and stopped, but he glanced at Faxiang, but the smile on his face suddenly turned cold, and he lightly blocked Faxiang's hand.

Fa Xiang frowned, sighed, and retracted his hand, knowing that Lin Jingyu still remembered the tragedy in Caomiao Village after all, and he couldn't let it go.

At this moment, Zeng Shushu suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Be careful!"

The two of them were startled and looked forward, and sure enough, the monster's wings vibrated and flew into the air and rushed over.

Zeng Shushu hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Faxiang, we will act according to the plan. ”

Lin Jingyu was about to make a move, but when he said this, he couldn't help but be stunned and stopped.

I saw that the monster pounced violently and quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Fa Xiang and Zeng Shushu suddenly shouted at the same time, separated and scattered to both sides, the monster looked fierce, but the mind didn't seem to be very bright, and he stayed in place for a while, as if he didn't think clearly about which enemy to chase, but at this moment, Fa Xiang's "Reincarnation Bead" and Zeng Shushu's "Xuanyuan Sword" hit it from the side at the same time.

The monster was not afraid at all, opened its mouth and roared, "bang" twice, these two magic weapons hit the monster, and it flew backwards, but seeing the monster in mid-air with its teeth and claws, it turned out to be undamaged, and this endurance even Lin Jingyu couldn't help but change color, and it was himself, but I was afraid that he might not be able to take the full force of Zeng Shushu and Faxiang.

Seeing that the monster shook its wings, and once it stabilized its body, it was about to fight back fiercely, Lin Jingyu was on guard, but at this moment, his whole body was shocked, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't speak.

The monster flew backwards, and there was nothing behind it, it was the giant strange flower. I saw that the monster's body flew, and the volley touched the red crystal branches above the flower, and suddenly, the monster roared, but the voice was already full of horror.

In a moment, this strange flower has made an incredible change, all the flowers suddenly came to life, from all directions to the place where the monster is, and the red crystal ball on the branch of the flower, there seems to be a strong adhesion, the monster sticks to the top, although it struggles hard, but can not break free, after a while, more and more petals layer by layer surrounded, and finally wrapped this monster that is tall from a person, and even the roar of the monster gradually lowered.

Faxiang and Zeng Shushu, who set this trap, saw that this strange flower was so terrifying at this moment, and they couldn't help but be like Lin Jingyu, their faces changed.

After a long time, the strange flower finally completely enveloped the monster, and the shadow of the monster could no longer be seen, and the field suddenly returned to calm, and only the sound of wind and rain remained between heaven and earth.

The three of them looked at each other, sighed, stood up with one palm, and chanted the Buddha softly in their mouths.

Note 1: "Gods and Demons Strange Herbs" Devouring Flowers: Wild and heterogeneous, flowers bloom more than a zhang, red on the top and white on the bottom, and there are red beads on the upper end, which are devoured by living creatures.

Note: In the "Encyclopedia of Modern Insectivorous Plants", this thing is suspected to be a "raccoon algae" organism, South America, Asia (North America has not been queried clearly, it seems to be also distributed?), but the body size is not large, insectivory, and there is no great harm to humans. The appearance is similar to that of an ancient book, and it may be aquatic civet algae or felt moss.

Note 2: This object is from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Fifth Volume of the Classic of Mountains, the Book of Zhongshan, and the Qingyao Mountain".
