Chapter 198: Merit
、、、、、、、
The yin wind blew more and more violently, and the clothes of the ghost and the golden bottle were hunting. They stood at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, watching as huge and strange spirits gradually appeared in front of them.
The eyes the size of a copper bell suddenly opened in the white air, and a faint blood-red light came out, and the huge figure of the fierce spirit shrouded it, and its eyes fell on the two mortals standing under him.
"Who dares to come here? )”
The voice of the fierce spirit suddenly rang out, majestic and deafening, as if the surrounding mountain walls were shaken. However, after a while, the fierce spirit seemed to have discovered something, and was stunned for a moment, but his eyes turned to the golden bottle standing a little behind the ghost Li: "It's you again?"
Jin Bei'er smiled slightly, coquettish, and said, "Yes, it's me, we meet again." ”
The fierce spirit roared angrily, and his voice echoed far away, as if his howl echoed far away in the deep ancient cave behind him: "Why did you come here again, didn't you think it was enough to disturb the statue of Niangniang last time?"
Jin Zhu'er was thinking about how to deal with this fierce spirit, and judging from the situation that day, this fierce spirit guarding the Demon Ancient Cave was definitely not easy to deal with. It's just that she was thinking about it in her heart, but the expression on her face was still smiling, and she was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a ghost beside her say: "Are you the black tiger among the seven heroes of southern Xinjiang who followed the Linglong witch into the 100,000 mountains back then?"
Jin Bei'er was stunned, and turned to look at Ghost Li, but saw that Ghost Li's face was indifferent, just looking at the huge figure of the fierce spirit. Almost at the same time as the ghost asked this, the fierce spirit was also involuntarily stunned for a moment, as if the name "Black Tiger" hit him like a heavy punch somewhere deep in his heart.
Even if he is incarnated as a fierce ghost, even if he is abandoned by the world, and he has been waiting alone for thousands of years, he still has some memories hidden deep in his heart......
"You...... Who is it?" the fierce voice seemed to suddenly become hoarse, and the scene that appeared at the right time completely changed.
Ghost Li looked at the voice surrounded by the eerie ghostly aura, his eyes flashed with a complex and incomprehensible light, and said slowly: "Among the seven people who followed the Linglong witch back then, five people went back in the end, and then established the five clans of today's southern Xinjiang. There are still two left, and they are the two brothers who have followed Linglong Witch for the longest time, Black Tiger and Black Wood, but they have not returned. According to the ancient legend of the Wu clan, the eldest brother Black Tiger is loyal and brave, and the second brother Black Wood is stoic and persistent, I see that you are very respectful to this statue, and you are still tenacious after thousands of years, and you will become a fierce spirit without regrets, so I guess you are a black tiger, right?"
The fierce spirit was silent for a long time, staring at the ghost, but the ghost was under that fierce gaze, but there was no fear at all, and he looked at it. Slowly, the yin white ghost qi around the fierce spirit slowly began to surge, and the blood-red color in the eyes of the fierce spirit became stronger and stronger, and even at the entrance of this ancient cave of demon suppression, which was already cold and biting, the temperature seemed to be getting colder and colder.
The monkey Xiao Ash, who was lying on the shoulders of the ghost, also seemed to be a little uneasy, and called twice in a low voice.
"Who are you to know about the past of the Wu Clan?" the fierce spirit's originally angry voice seemed to change suddenly, and there was an indescribable coldness in his tone.
Ghost Li didn't seem to feel anything, just looked at the huge shadow, and said: "Most people in the world can't remember what happened too long ago, but after all, there will still be legends, passed down bit by bit." He looked at the fierce spirit and said word by word: "Today's southern Xinjiang, the descendants of the Wu clan, there are still people who remember you!"
The demon's eyes were closed, and he never opened them for a long time. (Qingyi Literature Network . )
Jin Bei'er stood behind, her brows furrowed slightly, she looked at the fierce spirit, and then looked at the ghost beside her, she didn't know anything about these so-called legends such as the Linglong statue of the ancient witch clan, but looking at the reaction of the fierce spirit, it was obvious that what the ghost said was the truth. She had always thought that no one in the Demon Sect knew more about all kinds of strange things in these 100,000 mountains than her, but this ghost seemed to have something hidden and unknown.
She looked at the man's figure, her heart was slightly awe-inspiring, but her gaze seemed to be even colder.
For a long time, the yin wind was still blowing coldly. Overhead, black clouds surged silently, cold winds were bleak, and the scenery was bleak.
In this silence, suddenly, the fierce spirit black tiger suddenly raised its head, looked up to the sky and roared, and the voice was terrible, as if there were countless vicissitudes of the past, all in this roar. When the whistling sound was still faintly echoing in the distant mountains, he had already turned his head, and the rumbling sound seemed to be the excitement of feelings, but it was suppressed after all.
"Thank you!"
The fierce spirit stared at the ghost for a long time, and suddenly lowered its head slightly, and said so.
Ghost Li was expressionless, and slowly took half a step back, closing his eyes and bowing slightly, which was regarded as a return of the courtesy.
The fierce spirit nodded, his tone had gradually calmed down, and said, "I can't imagine that there are still people in this world who remember Niangniang and us, hey, but when we followed the witch Niangniang into these 100,000 mountains, where did we think of anything through the ages?"
His eyes slowly turned to the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, on top of the statue of the Linglong Witch Goddess standing there, his eyes instantly became gentle, and even his voice seemed to be much lighter: "But you came here on purpose, you must not have come here to say these words to me, a person who is not a human being, a ghost or a ghost?"
Ghost Li was silent for a moment, and said: "Yes, before I came here, although I had heard the legend of the Linglong Witch and the seven of you, I didn't know your current situation, nor did I know that you would be here......" He raised his head, looked at the fierce spirit, and said slowly: "I came here for the beast god in this cave. ”
The huge figure was shocked, and the name seemed to be terrifying even to this fierce spirit.
However, the fierce spirit's gaze did not turn, but still stayed on the statue and said, "What are you looking for him?"
Ghost Li said lightly: "We have to find him and then kill him." ”
The fierce spirit turned his head suddenly, stared at the ghost, and said slowly, "Just the two of you?"
Ghost Li nodded slowly and said, "Yes." ”
The speed of the white ghost qi around the fierce spirit seemed to suddenly become faster, and it seemed that his figure was also a little blurred, and for a while, I only heard him say coldly: "Yes, the beast god is indeed in this demon suppression ancient cave." ”
Jin Bei'er's body was shocked, and a trace of joy couldn't help but pass over her face. Ghost Li didn't have much joy on his face, still looking at the fierce spirit.
The fierce spirit was also looking at him, and suddenly said, "I see your clothes, it shouldn't be from the Southern Territory, you should be from Middle Earth?"
Ghost Li nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
The fierce spirit pondered for a moment, and in the gloomy aura, it seemed to see his expression change, and said, "Do you know why I am guarding the entrance of this cave?"
The ghost said: "I don't know. ”
The fierce spirit said: "Naturally, I am here to protect the statue of Niangniang, but in addition, (Qingyi Literature Network . I'm here to guard it, firstly, not to resurrect this evil demon by external forces, and secondly, not to let the ignorant enter and send them to death, do you understand?"
Ghost Li nodded.
The fierce spirit smiled miserably and said, "But after all, I still lived up to the trust of my mother back then, and I was ...... was deceived by that beast, made a big mistake, the demon was resurrected, and the world was devastated......" After speaking, his voice gradually lowered, and then, the fierce spirit seemed to settle down, and said, "I was already desperate, and I thought that no one in the world could stop this demon scourge from harming the common people, but some time ago, he was seriously injured and returned. ”
The corners of Ghost Li's eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly sneered, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, although the beast god is defeated, the person who defeats him may not be much better!"
The fierce spirit was slightly stunned, and he didn't know what the ghost meant, but he didn't bother to delve into it at the moment, and said: "It is naturally best to get rid of this demon, I have had this heart for thousands of years, and I only hate that even if he has not woken up that day, I can't help him." You are from Middle-earth, and you may be able to do it. If it really succeeds...... the demonic aura around the fierce spirit was retracted, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "I thank you here for my mother!"
With that, he slowly moved his body and made way of a path, revealing the deep and bottomless ancient cave behind him.
Ghost Li glared into the depths of the cavern, then turned his eyes away and took a deep look at the fierce spirit. The fierce spirit was staring at him, too.
Ghost Li nodded slowly, didn't say anything more, and slowly walked in. When passing by the fierce spirit, the monkey Xiao Gray lying on his shoulder suddenly raised his head, and looked at the huge body of the fierce spirit with some curiosity, and his three eyes did not blink.
The fierce spirit suddenly shouted at the ghost's back, "There is one more thing, you have to be careful. The beast god did not come back alone that day, in addition to the evil beasts gluttonous beside him, there was also a demon, the Tao is extremely high, you must be careful. ”
Ghost Li paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the thirteen demon beasts under his command have all been wiped out. ”
The fierce spirit shook his head and said, "It's not one of the thirteen demon beasts, even I have never seen that demon before this, you must be careful." ”
Ghost Li nodded slowly and continued to walk towards the depths of the ancient cave.
Then, the golden bottle also slowly followed, and the figures of the two and a monkey slowly melted into the darkness, swaying forward in the depths of the shadows, slowly, but finally they could no longer be seen.
The ghostly aura of the fierce spirit's body gradually blurred, but his huge eyes kept staring at the darkness in the depths of the cave, and suddenly, he let out a roar like thunder towards the deepest dark place, and the wild cry burst out like a torrent of mountains and seas, and even the cold yin wind actually flowed back for it, and the extremely hard rock wall roared, like the sky and the earth cracked!
In that roar, the huge body of the fierce spirit slowly disappeared into the darkness......
It's just that at the same time as the fierce spirit disappeared, he didn't notice that outside the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, behind the statue of the god, a black figure faintly flashed, it was the black wood that instigated the civil strife of the five clans in southern Xinjiang that day and snatched back the holy weapon of the five clans to resurrect the beast god.
The black and wide robe, as in the past, enveloped Kuroki's whole body, exuding a gloomy and cold aura, but in his eyes, there was an extremely complicated gaze, looking at the depths of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave. When the fierce spirit, who was also his former eldest brother, disappeared, he slowly withdrew his gaze and landed again on the statue of the delicate witch beside him.
In the gloomy wind, he seemed to be whispering: "Niangniang......"
At the same time, in the distance of the Jiaohei Mountain Peak where the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave is located, under the vast black forest, a team of more than a dozen people slowly walked out, and the first one was a woman dressed in white like snow and with a beautiful face, with a blue Tianya fairy sword in her hand, her face was like frost, but there seemed to be a little indescribable sorrow and vicissitudes in her eyes, silently, looking at the charred black mountain peak in the distance......
Middle Earth, thirty miles outside the city of Heyang.
On the avenue, after so long, most of the refugees who fled have returned to their southern hometowns, which are located not far from the foot of Qingyun Mountain, but they can still see ragged people trekking hard from time to time. However, there have been more small traders and vendors in the meantime, and I don't know how much better it was than it was when the catastrophe happened a few months ago.
"Immortal point, look at your half-life......" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out on the road, breaking the silence here, and it was very harsh.
"Fortune, official luck, marriage, whereabouts, feng shui, physiognomy, word measurement, bone touching, everything is refined, everything is knowing, come and go, a person only needs five taels of silver, cheap......"
Zhou Zhou Xian held the signboard bamboo pole of "Immortal Guidance", strode over, shouting all the way, and passers-by all looked sideways.
The wild dog Taoist who followed him didn't speak, carrying all his luggage as usual, but the small ring behind him seemed to be stunned for a moment, and raised his head from a book with a black cover without words that he had been watching carefully all the way, and said with some astonishment: (Qingyi Literature Network . "Grandpa, what did you just say, how many taels of silver a piece?"
Zhou Zhou Xian turned his head, smiled, and stretched out five fingers like an immortal descending from the sky, and said solemnly: "Five taels of silver." ”
Xiaohuan frowned, and said, "But yesterday you called three taels of silver." Also, what's wrong with you these days, three days ago we were still the same as in the past, each guest who looked at the appearance charged five dollars of silver, but you are good, these days you have jumped and risen, five dollars rose to one tael, after a day it became two taels, the day before it became three taels, today is good, you simply called five taels directly......
Xiaohuan walked to Zhou Xian's side, looked Zhou Zhou Xian up and down carefully, Zhou Zhou Xian was a little hairy by her, took a step back and coughed dryly, and said, "What are you looking at as a little girl?"
Xiaohuan ignored him, but reached out to Zhou Zhou Xian's forehead, Zhou Zhou Xian was startled, took a step back and let go, and said, "What are you doing in the gods?"
Xiaohuan snorted and said, "You are the one who is Shinto." I'm here to see if you have a fever and your brain is burning!" As she spoke, she turned her head to the wild dog Taoist behind her and asked, "Daoist, did you say that my grandfather has been a little confused recently?"
Because it was daytime at this time, the wild dog Taoist had a strip of cloth on his face as usual, but his two eyes were shining and very bright, and he was looked at by Xiaohuan at this moment, he laughed twice, and then immediately nodded and said: "He, uh, I mean the seniors are old, and it is inevitable that there will be some ......."
"Fart!"
Zhou Xian jumped up in front of him, furious.
Xiaohuan glanced at him and said, "Grandpa, what are you doing so excited, I think what the Taoist chief said is very reasonable, looking at the way you have been in the past few days, I'm afraid that you are really a little confused." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian seemed to be particularly unable to hear the word "old fool", and he was even more annoyed, and said angrily: "What do you two guys know, how old are you, how many people do you know, I am not ......"
Xiaohuan rushed: "Yes, then tell me, why are you desperately raising prices?"
Zhou Zhou Xian snorted, waved the bamboo pole in his hand to guide the way, pointed to the pedestrians around him, and said, "Look at these people, and the people we met along the way, are they all fleeing people?"
Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is, including us." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian suffocated for a moment, his old face flushed slightly, and then he acted as if he hadn't heard it. Xiaohuan said again: "Since they are all refugees and have left their hometowns, I don't think there are many people who think about seeing their faces at all, and I was thinking about whether the price should be reduced, but grandpa, you are good, desperately raising the price." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian put his hands behind his back, put the bamboo pole behind his back, and sneered: "According to what you say, I was wrong, but do you see that in the past few days, are there fewer or more people looking for us?"
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment and frowned, but the wild dog Taoist interjected beside him and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that there are indeed more people looking at each other these days." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian snorted again, with a smug look on his face, and said to Xiaohuan: "What can you know at a young age? Let me tell you, under the great disaster, everyone leaves their hometown, and they may not have the intention of looking at each other." But this time it is very different, the catastrophe is so great, it is rare for 10,000 years, the whole world is in misery, everyone is in danger, and no one knows whether they will be alive tomorrow? Under this vision, with me, an immortal, to guide them, is it not that everyone flocks to it?"
Xiaohuan lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head and sighed, but there was a trace of confusion on his face.
The wild dog Taoist was still a little confused, and couldn't help but say, "Then why do you keep raising the price code?"
Zhou Zhou Immortal Monster rolled his eyes and said, "How can I teach you such advanced knowledge!"
The wild dog Taoist touched a nail and shrank back, but he only heard Xiaohuan beside him sigh and said, "I understand this a little bit now." ”
The Wild Dog Daoist and Zhou Zhou Xian were both taken aback, and Zhou Zhou Xian said, "Oh, you can tell me about it?"
Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It's just that you expect that everyone in the world is panicked and careless about their own lives, and how many people pity their belongings outside their bodies...... I didn't believe in these things, I thought that such a little trick would be seen by idiots, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly, there are still so many people who can't see it. ”
Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "You're wrong, Xiaohuan." ”
Xiaohuan was stunned and said, "What?"
Zhou Zhou Xian said: "You said it right before, it's just the last sentence, but it's not that they can't see it, it's just that they can't see it." ”
The Wild Dog Daoist listened confusedly and said, "What can't you see?"
Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at the people who were staggering around him, and said: "The people in the world, how can they be all stupid, but at the moment of life and death, I don't know how many people refuse to believe in themselves, and would rather listen to the comfort of others." Most of what I said for them was about the next half of their lives, which would be much better off than they are today. With this, they paid two taels of silver, and they were relieved. ”
Xiaohuan suddenly said: "Grandpa, did you really say it from physiognomy, or did you say it nonsense to them?"
Zhou Zhou Xian smiled slightly and said, "I'm talking nonsense." ”
Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist glanced at each other, and they were speechless for a while.
Zhou Zhou Xian looked up at the sky, looked at the long sky, stared at it for a long time, and said leisurely: "Such a catastrophe, but one is indispensable, otherwise the way of heaven will not allow it." ”
Speaking of this, he looked back and smiled, "In this case, the future life will naturally be much better than the current days when I don't know life and death, and I don't count myself as a liar." On the contrary, the old man came all the way and comforted and advised countless people who had been displaced by the turbulence, not to mention how many people were reborn and resurrected under the words of the old man.
He stretched out his hand and patted Xiaohuan's head, with a fairy and righteous face, with the old man's compassion for the world and the feelings of saving the world, and the tragedy of going to hell alone to save the common people, it is to receive this lot of white silver, and it is also where the righteousness lies.
"Life, it's really lonely......"
......
There was no sound for a while, but there was silence all around.
Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, retracted his gaze from the sky, and looked around.
......
"Hey, what are you two doing so fast......"
