The three of them here rested to treat the wild dog, and after the wild dog learned that one of his lives was picked up, he felt even more lucky, and privately he was a little confused about his unexpected bravery at that time. But no matter what, after this time, the relationship between Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist has become intimate, after all, they have lived and died together, and Zhou Zhou Xian is not as cold to the Wild Dog Daoist as before, but when he is asked to work, it is still the same as before, but the Wild Dog Daoist is seriously injured after all, and more often than not, it is Zhou Zhou Xian who does more, which causes his old man to complain.

Xiaohuan and the wild dog are still the same as before, but in front of Xiaohuan, the wild dog Taoist seems to be a little more afraid, and he talks to Xiaohuan less than before. Although Xiaohuan is strange, she doesn't feel that since this paragraph, more of her jīng gods have been attracted to the seemingly ordinary book with a black sè cover.

The wild dog Taoist had never seen Xiaohuan read this book before, which was quite strange, but Xiaohuan never said the origin of this book, and Zhou Zhou Xian was also vague, and he himself slowly got used to it after a long time, but occasionally felt that Xiaohuan's expression seemed to be gradually different, but what was different from before, he couldn't say it.

The beast demon catastrophe arose from the 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang, and the first to suffer was the land of southern Xinjiang.

The people of all ethnic groups here are poisoned by beasts and demons, even compared to Middle-earth, which is far more severe. Ten rooms and nine emptiness, that is almost the inevitable fate of many villages and towns, that is, no one in the entire village cottage has survived, and it also appears from time to time.

After the catastrophe, the remnants of the small beast demons here in southern Xinjiang are far more than those from Middle Earth, and the people who survived the catastrophe often have to endure the ravages and infestations of those remnant beasts and demons.

It was under such circumstances that Ghost Li once again set foot on the land of southern Xinjiang.

Along the way, he didn't find any trace of the beast god, but there were countless righteous people flocking to it, including Qingyun, incense and other famous figures. These many people seem to be crazy, and they are looking for the whereabouts of the beast god, but it is obvious that these many people have been searching, but no one has found him.

After Qingyun was defeated in the first battle, the beast god who was seriously injured and fled disappeared as if out of thin air, and no one could find him again. It's just that the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang are always his former residence, no matter what, he will come back?

With this thought in mind, Ghost Li entered southern Xinjiang. With him, there are countless righteous path disciples, among which the incense valley is considered to have returned to their hometown, after all, the incense valley is in southern Xinjiang, but the purpose of other righteous path disciples is naturally not just to help the people of southern Xinjiang get rid of those small groups of beast demons.

But in any case, because of the arrival of these people, the remnants of the beast demons that were originally unscrupulous have been temporarily reined in, after all, these righteous path disciples will also take action to get rid of these beast demons if they can. As a result, the atmosphere in various parts of southern Xinjiang has been boosted.

It's just that no matter who it is, they haven't found the shadow of the beast god on the southern frontier realm, and now the only possibility is in the 100,000 mountains with poor mountains and bad waters, weird and mysterious.

In the layers of black mountains, I don't know how many secrets are hidden!

Before entering the mountain, Ghost Li went to Qilitong of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang, if not for anything else, but for what the great wizard did for Baguio, he also wanted to come over to pay tribute.

Tianshui Village, Qilitong, this way, the original prosperous and lively scene is gone, all the way miserable, even he thought that he had already hardened his heart, he couldn't help but be moved.

For what is it that there will be such a catastrophe that poisons the people of the world?

He has achieved success in his own cultivation and stayed out of this great wave of evil, but what about the countless suffering people all over the world? What mistakes did they make, and why did they suffer such a calamity?

Thinking back to the Tianyin Temple, countless people worship and pray to the gods and Buddhas at night, looking at the world, there are many more people doing this, worshipping the gods and spirits. But when disaster came, who helped them?

So, is it still useful to bow down to such a prostration?

Or is it really in response to the mysterious words that run through the "Book of Heaven":

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs?

※※※

When he stepped into Qilitong, Ghost Li gasped, this place that used to be beautiful in his impression was already dilapidated and destroyed. Almost all of the houses that used to be crowded are ruins, and there are no more bustling people on the streets, let alone children running and playing.

The remnants of the populace looked like only a tenth or two, and most of them were in front of the dilapidated houses, desperately and laboriously packing up something, trying to find something to use from the rubble, but often all they could find were the remains of the dead.

There was an air of sadness and decadence in the whole Qili Mountain, and occasionally a few children stood there in a daze, their eyes full of confusion and fear, and in a few moments, adults would come out from behind and pull them back in.

Ghost Li walked slowly along the street, and soon attracted the attention of some Miao people, and there was a strong meaning in the eyes of those who looked at it. In the strange atmosphere, even the little gray on the ghost shoulders seemed to be much more honest, although it still looked around.

Ghost Li sighed secretly, and didn't want to look any more, so he quickened his pace and walked straight to the altar on the hillside deep in Qilitong, and the further he went, the more obvious the surrounding houses and roads were visible, and the more dilapidated they became. The ghost was silent, and seemed to vaguely see that when the catastrophe came, many Miao warriors faced the vicious beasts and demons here in order to defend the holy land, fighting to the death!

Even in the air, there seems to be a faint smell of blood.

At the foot of the mountain, two young Hmong soldiers stopped him. Ghost Li silently stopped and looked at them, these two people, holding spears and wearing armor, but they were only fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, and even the armor on their bodies looked wider than their figures, I don't know if it was left over from the heroic warriors of the past.

"How many hoops do you have?" asked one in Hmong.

Ghost Li didn't understand, but he guessed what he would ask, so he didn't speak, just looked up and looked halfway up the mountain. He didn't use his finger because he remembered that the Miao people regarded such behavior as a great disrespectful act.

The two teenagers were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then one of the teenagers, who seemed to be a little older, shook his head, and neither of them let go of their bodies. Ghost Li felt slightly anxious in his heart, but he was really unwilling to do anything with the great wizard clan who had helped him, and seeing the tragic scene in the Seven Mile Mountain, he couldn't make a move.

He was silent for a long time, and when the hostility grew in the eyes of the two teenagers, he sighed, turned around, and left.

It was only when he had only taken a few steps that suddenly there was a stir in the mountain, and he turned his head to look, and a moment later a man ran down from the mountainside at a brisk pace, and first said a few words to the two teenagers in Hmong, and the two teenagers nodded again and again, and stood aside, and then, the man who looked like a priest in his forties, said to the ghost in a somewhat lame Middle-earth language:

"Hello, great, great wizard, please go up. ”

Ghost Li was taken aback, frowned, and said, "Great Wizard?"

The man nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath, nodded, and followed the man up the hill.

The cave was still in place, but the buildings and stone platforms at the entrance of the cave were all unrecognizable, and the rocks were shattered and rolled all over the ground. In the midst of the rocks, there was a young Miao man, who looked like he was only about thirty, dressed in a great wizard's robe, smiling and watching the ghost come over.

His eyes were faintly shining, as if there was a flame of enthusiasm burning in them, which was completely different from those Miao people under the mountain.

Ghost Li walked up to him, and the young man smiled slightly, and said in a very fluent Middle-earth dialect: "Hello, Mr. Ghost Li, I am the new generation of great wizards of the Miao people in Southern Xinjiang, and I have admired your name for a long time. ”

The ghost was stunned for a moment, nodded in return, and before he could speak, the young great wizard had already smiled and said, "Please come in, I'll take you to see the previous great wizard." ”

With that, he led the way into the still dimly lit cave. Ghost Li followed behind him, and slowly melted into the darkness.

The cave was still the same darkness, and the figure of the young great wizard swayed slightly in front of him, and somehow, Ghost Li felt that he was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the last time he came here, the great wizard had called out this young man, and he didn't think that after a short period of time, he had taken over the position of the great wizard.

Just like last time, the young wizard took the ghost to the house dedicated to the dog god in the depths of the cave, and the huge fire was still burning and crackling, but the old and withered figure was no longer visible.

The young man stepped forward, bowed upright to the statue of the dog god, and then took out a wooden carved box from the dog mouth of the statue of the dog god, put it on the ground respectfully, and then said to the ghost: "Our Miao customs, after the death of the great wizard of the past dynasties, they will be worshiped under the statue of the dog god for a year, and this is the ashes of his old man." ”

The ghost was silent, looking at the small wooden box, the whole box was plain, and there was no slightest decoration, even the wood used was also the most common tree in southern Xinjiang, and the great wizard was like countless Miao people, sleeping quietly here.

The ghost bent sharply and bowed deeply.

The monkey squeaked, jumped off him, and ran to the side.

The young great wizard bowed down in the same manner according to the custom of Middle-earth, and then solemnly held up the plain wooden box and put it into the mouth of the idol of the dog god again.

The two men sat on the ground by the fire, and the light of the fire was reflected in their eyes, very bright in the darkness.

Without waiting for the ghost to ask, the young man had already said lightly: "I was a disciple of his old man when he was alive, and when the terrible calamity passed, all the elder priests here died, so I inherited the position of the Great Wizard." ”

Ghost Li nodded silently, his eyes unexpectedly looked at the dog god statue in the distance, and said slowly: "The great wizard is also considered to have died for me, every time I think of this, I feel uneasy. ”

The young great wizard bowed slightly, and said: "You are wrong, Master, he has already told me that his life limit has arrived, even if he does not go to the Central Plains, there is only one way to die, but if your faction can send Master's ashes back, it is already a great luck for all of our Miao people." ”

Ghost Li sighed and said in a low voice: "These things are also done by other people with intentions, and they have nothing to do with me. ”

The young Grand Wizard smiled, obviously not caring about the ghostly words, and said, "But this time you came to our Qili Mountain, but I don't know what happened to you?"

The ghost said: "Actually, it's not for anything else, it's just to come and pay tribute to the great wizard seniors." Besides, this catastrophe is so violent, about the culprit beast god, I deliberately chase after it, I don't know if you have any clues?"

The young great wizard's face changed slightly, and it was obvious that for him, the word beast god was still a very terrible and taboo word. He quickly fell silent, and after a while, Ghost Li said lightly: "You don't have to care, countless people in the world want to find him, but they can't find him, and it's normal for you not to know." I'm bothering here, so I'll take my leave. ”

With that, he got up, and the young great wizard had a hesitation on his face, and suddenly said, "You're going to track down that beast god, is it true?"

The ghost said, "Yes." ”

The young archwizard stared at him and said, "You killed him." ”

Ghost Li was silent for a long time and said, "I'm not sure. ”

The young Grand Wizard pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I will tell you what I know." How to find the beast god, I don't know, but the ancient legend in my clan is that this beast god is a demon-like ghost, which cannot be killed, and can only be suppressed and sealed like the witch Niangniang ten thousand years ago. If you want to suppress him, you need five artifacts of all the tribes in southern Xinjiang to take it from his body. Those five artifacts are the source of life for the beast demon, and if they are lost, the beast demon will definitely fall into a deep sleep. In addition, there is another important point, when the beast demon is raging, the demon power is strong and invincible, thanks to the witch Niangniang who used the witch clan to pass down the strange array 'Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array' to trap it, if you can find this formation, maybe"

Ghost Li nodded slowly.

The young great wizard thought for a while, and then said: "How to find the beast demon, I really can't think of it, but the legend in the clan says that when the witch Niangniang sealed the beast demon, it was in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, a place called the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave. And legend has it that Niangniang herself turned into a stone statue, facing the depths of the ancient cave, perhaps, if you find such a place, there will be traces of beasts and demons. ”

Ghost Li remembered them one by one, nodded to the young great wizard in front of him, and said, "Thank you." ”

The Grand Wizard smiled slightly, without words.

When the two of them walked out of the cave, Ghost Li couldn't help but ask him why there was no sadness in his eyes.

The young great wizard paused for a moment and said lightly: "If I am depressed and sad again, what should I do with those people in Qilitong? It's not that I'm not sad, it's that I can't be sad!"

Ghost Li listened, was silent for a long time, and then left.

※※※

Leaving Qilitong, Ghost Li didn't rush away, he walked slowly all the way, and thought about what the young great wizard said a few times, and the strange "Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array" made him involuntarily think of another person-Xiaobai.

When she left angrily, there has been no news since then, although with her Dao practice mana, there is no need to worry about anything, but thinking of the purpose of Xiaobai's visit, most likely to find the "Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array", Ghost Li felt a little guilty in his heart.

The demon power of the blood devouring bead has plagued him for many years, but some time ago, under the wordless jade wall of the Tianyin Temple of Mount Meru, he realized the four volumes of the "Book of Heaven", and integrated the demon power of the blood devouring bead with the three true laws of Buddhism, Taoism and Demons, and even the power of the pure yang of Xuanhuojian.

It's just that, somehow, with the epiphany under the wordless jade wall, he has gradually thought about many things, and the things that he couldn't think of in the past have gradually been seen in retrospect.

Xiaobai is like this to him, most of it is not because of Baguio's relationship with herself?

She was alone, and when the rì beast demon catastrophe was in full bloom, she returned to southern Xinjiang to look for the magic circle, the sky and the earth were slim, and now there was no news of her at all. Thinking of this, Ghost Li couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pain in his heart, but this world is big, and I really don't know how to find it.

Ghost Li pondered for a long time, and finally decided to go to the Incense Valley secretly, not for anything else, first to listen to Xiao Bai Zeng said, the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array had appeared in the Incense Valley Xuanhuo Altar, in this case, Xiao Bai wants to find this magic circle, most of them will go here, and even if she is not there, it is good to go and see it herself.

As soon as his mind was decided, Ghost Li rushed to the Incense Valley.

Incense Valley was originally one of the three major factions of the righteous path in the world, but in this catastrophe, he bore the brunt of it, just at the exit of the beast demon raging, and the end can be imagined. Fortunately, when Yun Yilan, the lord of the Incense Valley Valley, led all the disciples to rush to Middle-earth first, and joined forces with Qingyunmen and other righteous paths to deal with the beast demons, although the Incense Valley was destroyed, the disciples of the Incense Valley did not hurt their muscles and bones.

It's just a dignified and righteous sect, and it ends up like this, which can't help but make people's faces gloomy, and after the catastrophe, many rumors and rumors have spread, which means that the people in Incense Valley are timid and afraid, and with the respect of the righteous sect, they don't dare to face the beast demon catastrophe alone, but hide behind Qingyunmen.

Now that Qingyunmen and Daoxuan Zhenren are in the hearts of the righteous path in the world, they are really supreme and prestigious, compared with them, Incense Valley and others are too inferior. As a large number of righteous path disciples entered the southern Xinjiang to search for the whereabouts of the beast god, the disciples of the Burning Incense Valley naturally would not be left behind, but when they met, the disciples of the Burning Incense Valley had already lost their arrogance.

It's just that despite this, Incense Valley is a famous faction after all, and its strength is still there, although there are a lot of rumors, no one dares to bully Incense Valley in person. As for the valley of Incense itself, it was really a mess, at least what the ghost saw when he sneaked in.

A valley that was originally quiet and beautiful was now filled with an unpleasant scorching and fishy smell, and countless disciples of the Incense Valley carried all kinds of rotting garbage and bones in the valley, including both human and animal corpses.

After secretly observing and thinking for a while, he already understood that when Rì himself sneaked into the Incense Valley late at night, he was still discovered by the Incense Valley that it was not that all the disciples in the Incense Valley were profound, but that they were good at many strange animals in captivity, which was difficult to guard.

It's just that Yun Yilan can take most of his disciples to Middle-earth, but he can't take these animals with him, and when the catastrophe comes, those extremely ferocious beast demon mad cháo pass through here, these many animals will naturally not be spared. After a long time, the corpse decayed, and the smell was unbearable.

However, the absence of these strange animals at the moment is another benefit to the ghost, at least he is not afraid that in the corners of these houses, there will be some monsters in the dark corners of yīn to suddenly report jǐng, so that his body is exposed.

There are many disciples in Incense Valley, but half of them have been sent out to track the whereabouts of the beast demon, what countless righteous sects want to do, how can Incense Valley not want to do it. And the remaining half of the disciples, most of them are also in the valley to do the work of sorting out the garbage and ruins, even if there are some elders and seniors in the valley, but characters like Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce are naturally impossible to patrol the valley from time to time. It was with almost no difficulty that the ghost encountered no difficulty, and he sneaked into the Incense Valley.

It was evening at this moment, much brighter than the last time he had come to the Incense Valley, but it was many times easier to sneak in.

After the ghost sneaked into the Incense Valley, he didn't think much about it, and went straight to the direction of the Xuanhuo Altar, the heavy land of the Incense Valley. It's just that this place is the forbidden land of Incense Valley after all, and in such a hectic situation, the guard and defense of the Xuanhuo Altar seems to be a little tighter than the last time the ghost came, I don't know if it's because Xiaobai escaped and outsiders sneaked in.

It's just that Ghost Li's cultivation at this time is no longer the same as in the past, although the Incense Valley is tightly guarded in the Xuanhuo Altar, but Ghost Li carefully and carefully lurks and marches, and finally unknowingly swept into the majestic Xuanhuo Altar.

As he expected, although the outside was tightly guarded, there was no one guarding the Xuanhuo Altar, at a glance, it seemed that this place was still the same as the last time he came, and there was still that strange dark red formation on the ground, deep in the ground, and the ghost Li knew in his heart that this was the weird and magical Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array in the legend.

However, the magma eruption caused by the escape of Rì Ghost and Xiaobai is also faintly visible. The surrounding walls can be seen everywhere scorched black by the magma splash, and the places where the stones have collapsed are even more countless, that is, the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Formation Array on the ground, and in some places it can be seen that the fire has been slightly deformed.

However, if it is an ordinary place, I am afraid that it will be destroyed long ago under such a disaster, and the surrounding realm can still be roughly intact, and it seems that this magic circle has exerted a strange effect, so it has been preserved.

Looking up, the second and third floors that had originally imprisoned Xiaobai had lost their effectiveness, and they opened like that, revealing an empty and dark hole. In the entire majestic Xuanhuo Altar, under the slight light of the fire, only the figure of Ghost Li flickered slightly.

Ghost Li was silent for a long time, shook his head, walked to the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array, and looked carefully, only to see that in the huge array, all the fierce gods were still depicted as in his memory, and the patterns connecting these fierce gods were also weird and complex. Ghost Li took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged in front of the formation.

Just as he was about to meditate on this legendary strange Wu clan formation, suddenly, in the silent and yīn altar of Xuanhuo, in the darkness above him, a woman's crisp and reverberating laughter sounded.

The ghost's face changed greatly, Huo Ran stood up, looked up, and blurted out: "Is it you, Xiaobai"

His words stopped abruptly, and a figure floated down from the dark shadow above, the once familiar goose yellow clothes, clear and soft eyes, as if he had been drunk at a glance.

It turned out to be the person he never dreamed of, the woman who was rumored to have died in the catastrophe - the golden bottle!

※※※

After the initial shock, Ghost Li quickly calmed down, and Jin Bei'er still stood there, as if nothing had changed, her clothes, face, and expression, even the corners of her mouth, with that faint and flattering smile.

She looked at Ghost Li, smiled slightly, and said, "Hello." ”

Ghost Li looked at her silently for a long time before saying, "Why are you here?"

Jin Bei'er gently swept the sideburns with her hand, and in her small movements, she seemed to have infinite style, and said softly: "I'm waiting for you here." ”

Ghost Li frowned and said, "Wait for me, what are you doing, how do you know I'm going to come here?"

Jin Bei'er smiled and said: "Have you forgotten, the last time you came here, but you came with me, I heard that this time you are going to track down the beast god, with the legend here in southern Xinjiang, to suppress the beast god, naturally it is inevitable to have this magic circle here." If you don't get here, where else can you go?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was a little proud, and even more indescribably coquettish, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm smart, right?"

Ghost Li frowned, feeling that after his great progress, under the charm of the golden bottle, there was still a little turbulence, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. After the catastrophe, this legendary dead woman seems to have taken her skills to the next level.

Since she is not dead, what about the others, the other masters of the Demon Sect who were destroyed in the catastrophe?

Ghost Li was shocked in his heart, but he still said coldly on his face: "You haven't answered me yet, what are you waiting for me to do?"

Jin Bei'er smiled softly, but said thrilling words in a faint tone: "I know the location of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave where the Beast God was sealed, and after the Ghost King Sect Master knows about it, let me assist you." ”

The ghost's body shook violently, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at the golden bottle, but he saw that the golden bottle's eyes were like water, and his smile was like a flower, and he didn't look strange at all.

，
