Chapter 13 Looking at the sky from the bottom of the cave, recognizing the elk as a horse

As soon as he heard that there was a treasure, he couldn't help but cheer up and pay attention to the chatter of the two uncles at the next table. I heard only one of them, refuting what his companion had just said:

"Isn't that right? In my opinion, there are not treasures, but immortals! Doesn't that nursery rhyme say 'immortals descend'? I think it should be some god in the sky, who comes to our Huangshi Town to save people when he has nothing to do——"

"Oh, dude, Takami! That's what I said. As I said, there are immortals and treasures in the cave......

The two idlers sitting next to each other had a bit of a ride there. After hearing this, he paid some attention to it, and said in his heart that if what they said was true, it would be a new thing. Maybe it's the water spirit, squatting in the middle of the road, just waiting for him to find it.

Thinking so wildly in his heart, he paid the bill and took Qiong Wei Xueyi to the south of the town. Out of the south entrance of Huangshi Town, as soon as I got on the official road that winds to the southwest, I saw a lot of people not far away, pointing there, very lively. Maybe it's because the sun is blazing now, but I didn't see any Ruiqi light rushing up from the crowd of onlookers.

Among the three of them, Qiong Wei likes to watch the excitement the most. Before Xingyan could tell her, she had already grabbed Sister Xueyi's hand and rushed over, and while rushing, she couldn't help but turn around and shout to Xingyan Brother to hurry up and go and see it together. So the leader was the last to reach the big hole.

This big hole, which had just been cracked last night, was in the middle of the road, and it was this yellow mud official road that broke through it, and the cracks on both sides were like crescent moons, enclosing a bottomless cave. When Xingyan got closer, he found that at the entrance of the cave, there were really some clouds of colorful light floating out from time to time. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the sensible young man knew that the water spirit would never be in this cave. Because, the smell on this avenue is not as warm as in the town.

Now, the cave is surrounded by curious people. It's just that because the cave in front of me looks bottomless, the big guy is just talking there, and no one really dares to go down. When Xingyan arrived, and saw him carrying a sword behind him, someone was inspired and shouted:

"I look at this treasure cave, and only those who can fly with a sword dare to go down!"

As soon as he heard this, Xingyan's heart moved. While pondering, the little sister who grabbed Sister Xue Yi's hand and poked her head into the cave kept looking, looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked him in a tender voice:

"Brother of the hall master, just send Qiong Wei to jump down and take a look? Maybe there is really a treasure~ If you get it, you will give it to your brother!"

"Heh......"

After listening to her kind words, and then looking at her innocent appearance like pink jade, she had an idea when she said that she had a handstand in her heart:

"Thank you, sister, for your kindness! This cave seems to be quite weird, and there may be a scary monster down there. Once we go, we can't get up. ”

It turned out that he saw Qiong Wei's cute appearance, and remembered the fate of the fellow who was enthusiastic about treasure hunting back then, so he felt that safety was still the first, and it was more comfortable to stay in broad daylight.

Hearing what he said, Qiong Wei let out an "oh" and stopped insisting.

As a result, the only three people in this crowd who had the ability to go down to the cave to explore the treasure and find immortals in the Shangqing Sihaitang were also like no one, chatting and chatting with other onlookers, purely using the strange thing in front of them as a talking point to pass the time.

Anyway, Xingyan and Qiong Wei Xueyi just cared about chatting here, but they were in a hurry. It turned out that in this extraordinary cave in front of everyone, there was no treasure, but there was really a person with fairy wind bones. This person is not an outsider, it is the ancestor who wants to avenge his apprentice. At this time, he was spinning around at the bottom of the cave that he had shaken out with his immortal magic!

It turned out that since he learned from his apprentice that the person who beat him to the point of scattering his soul was also familiar with the art of "soul devouring", he immediately made him very interested. In particular, when he learned that this young man named "Zhang Xingyan" was able to calmly devour the souls of the sky in the Great Blood Soul Array of Jin Qizi, it could be seen that his soul-devouring cultivation was by no means below him. Therefore, for this kind-faced, but cold-hearted Kongqi Monster Immortal, this time it was not so much to avenge his apprentice as to covet the powerful soul that this "soul devouring master" had accumulated over time. By the way, according to the exaggerated description of his own frightened dead ghost apprentice, the two women who walked with Zhang Xingyan also had extraordinary spiritual power.

"Ha! These three people are the elixir given to me by God! If I can devour the souls of the other people together, not only will I be able to ascend to the next level, but even the immortal power cultivation after becoming an immortal can also be much stronger than other cyclamen!"

Speaking of which, although this ancestor called himself an immortal, he had been cultivating for thousands of years, but for some reason he had never been able to ascend, so he was so tempted by these three people with strong spiritual power. However, if you want to devour these spirits to help you soar, you must not rely on your own soul devouring**. You must know that this unknown Zhang Xingyan has extraordinary attainments in soul devouring techniques. If one is not careful, the soul eater is not eaten by him, then he will make the mistake of a futile child.

As a result, this old immortal who has cultivated for thousands of years is ready to use his other best spell, "a thousand years in a flash", to deal with these people with strange exercises. This spell, called "a thousand years in a flash", is really not trivial. As the name suggests, it can make people age and die quickly, although it may not really be thousands of years, but with his profound cultivation in this technique, it is enough to make all those who receive the art die in an instant. Such a domineering spell, not gold or wood, not in the number of the five elements, is the most strange and magical type of spell in this heaven and earth: time magic. And the ancestor of Kongshan is one of the very few cultivators in the world who has mastered such a strange spell.

However, although such a spell is powerful, it also has its own flaws. For example, the "blink of a thousand years" of Kongqi Immortal requires the person who receives the technique to be peaceful and wholeheartedly to be effective, and it cannot be forced at all. At first glance, this may sound ridiculous, but it looks like people are going to voluntarily sacrifice fish for their food. It's just that this little flaw doesn't make it difficult for the thousand-year-old immortal of the ancestor at all. With his wisdom and experience, with just a little trick, he can make these juniors willing to die obediently in his own Faguang. According to his thoughts, since these people are also cultivators, they must be eager to become immortals. Therefore, after calculating the approximate whereabouts of the few people who were awake, he shook out this glorious cave to lure these cultivators to take the bait.

It's just that this method seems to be flawless, but apparently there is some trouble now - the few people outside the cave, although they can easily enter the cave, can actually be quiet, just idle with those boring people in the town!

As a result, the thousand-year-old immortal monster who could sit still for many months as an adult is now a little unbearable. On the surface, he is still trying to maintain the style of becoming an immortal, but he can't help but regret it in his heart:

If I had known that this young man was so unproductive, so delayed, this immortal should have brought a pot of tea down, and waited patiently while drinking!"

The only thing that the idle Kongxian can do now is to erect those spiritual ears and listen to the answers between the young man and the two girls in his ears without missing a trace. At this moment, the young man was solemnly saying to the second daughter beside him:

"You two, do you remember that Tian Renbao who was bent on treasure hunting? He only wanted to hunt for treasure all day long, but in the end he ...... Alas!"

Although the honest young man only said half of this, his tone was embarrassing. When the two girls heard this, they couldn't help but echo it, and their words were very regretful.

"I see!"

Hearing their answers, the idle and panicked Kongxian suddenly realized:

It turned out that it was not that they had a good eye and saw through this trap, but that among the people they knew, some people had fallen into a miserable end because of treasure hunting!

In this way, you can explain why your method of trying and trying all kinds of spirits has failed this time. Thinking of this, the eyes of the resourceful thousand-year-old strange fairy turned around, and it was already in mind. I saw him silently chanting a mantra in his mouth, preparing to change his method, vowing to lure those prey down to the hole.

It's just that he was focusing on casting spells at this time, but he didn't pay attention to continue to listen carefully to the above conversation. Now the boy is scaring Xiao Qiongwei:

"Sister, there may be evil ghosts hidden in this cave below, it's terrifying!!"

It turned out that she looked at this little girl who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she still couldn't suppress her curiosity, and she was eager to try there, so she made words to scare her.

Just as Xiao Qiongwei listened to the words and bit her fingers to wonder if he was coaxing her as a child again, she suddenly heard him shout again:

"Don't believe it!"

"Huh?"

At this look, Qiong Wei couldn't help but look surprised:

"Brother doesn't lie to me, it's true!"

It turned out that she looked in the direction of Xingyan's finger, and she clearly saw that the original wisps of colored mist at the entrance of the cave had now turned into a thick black cloud, which looked very terrifying-

"Oops! As I expected, it turns out that there are really ghosts in this cave~"

Seeing this, Xingyan hurriedly greeted:

"Qiong Wei Xueyi, let's run away!"

"Whew!"

In fact, I didn't know what the ghost was afraid of, and as soon as she heard what she said, she quickly turned around and fled. And the onlookers next to him, seeing the three of them like this, immediately shouted, dispersed, and fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the originally bustling cave became extremely deserted, and there was only one place of melon and fruit shells, proving that many people had visited this place......

Brushing away the smoke and dust that had just fallen from the hole on his body, the ancestor who had time to cast a spell and float black smoke was at a loss:

"How so?!"

“...... It stands to reason that this righteous young man has a special skill, and when he sees the black smoke floating from the entrance of the cave, he should be enthusiastic and anxious to come down to kill the demon and eliminate the demon—how can he turn around and run?!"

Seeing that the young man just refused to go down to the hole, he let this fairy eat eggs like a mouse, and there was nowhere to eat. It was only then that the face of the thousand-year-old immortal monster became solemn:

"It seems that this immortal is still negligent. This young man is really unfathomable, if it is just a small trick of carving insects, he will never be able to hide it......"

The ancestor is also a decisive person, and as soon as he thought of this, he immediately flicked the sleeves of his robe and floated out of the hole.

At this time, his original plan was foolproof, but in the end, he only left a deep pit in other people's land, which harmed the people of Huangshi Town, and it took three or four hours to fill in the hole in the center of the road.

These are all later words, and besides, the few who fled slipped out for four or five miles before they slowed down and walked slowly.

After a little respite, Xingyan began to think about a complete solution, trying to find a way to get rid of the strange and troublesome in the cave. was in a trance, and suddenly heard the little sister Qiong Wei beside him ask him puzzled:

"Brother Hall Master, are the evil ghosts really scary?"

"Well, yes, it's scary, even my brother is afraid. Otherwise, how can you call it an evil ghost......

Xingyan replied a little absent-mindedly. In fact, even he himself had never seen the appearance of the evil spirits that had been passed down from mouth to mouth. However, this did not prevent him from using it to scare this nosy little girl, saving a lot of unnecessary turmoil.

In this way, there is no match to describe the horror of the evil ghost out of thin air, and Xingyan and the second daughter walked along the official road of yellow mud. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a person lying in the middle of the road in the distance in front of him.

"Could it be a beggar who is so hungry that he can't walk?"

With a change of heart, he hurried over to see what was going on.

When I got closer, I found that the person lying in the middle of the road on this sunny day was a red-haired old man with broad bones and a strange appearance, dressed in purple kudzu clothes and wearing a green vine hemp rope around his waist, and was lying sideways in the middle of the road. Seeing this, Xingyan hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Old man, is there any inconvenience? If you need help, please feel free to ask. ”

Seeing him come forward to talk, the old man seemed to be a little excited, got up with a bone, looked at him a little, and then said:

"Yes, yes, good-hearted! The old man really didn't see the wrong person!"

This strangely dressed old man has a loud voice, not like a beggar who has not had enough to eat. It's just that the words in his mouth are a little clueless. Xingyan was about to ask a question, but he heard the old man continue:

"It seems that the old man is indeed destined for you. Just now when I was resting in that cave, I saw you passing by. Now I'm here to bask in the sun, and I'm meeting you again. ”

"Uh, that's you in the cave!"

It seems that there are no monsters in the cave, but the stranger in the dust of this game is joking. I don't know what kind of fate I have, and Xingyan is also very curious, so I respectfully asked:

"I don't know who my husband is?"

"Yo, the little brother is refreshing enough, he is facing the old man's spleen and stomach, don't tell lies in front of the real person, don't hide a few people, the old man is the demon immortal!"

"Uh, the Demon Dao, the Immortal?"

Hearing the red-haired old man's words, Xingyan didn't react much, but felt a little curious. Compared with his insipid attitude, the demon path immortal in front of him was a little excited:

"That's right! The old man is a person in the Demon Dao! The reputation of the Demon Dao is not good, and the little brother should have heard of it. Actually, these are all misunderstandings that the people of the world have misunderstood about us! In fact, those people in the righteous path can cultivate to become heavenly immortals, but why can't our demon realm follow the path of demons to cultivate into demon gods? It is the so-called yin and yang complement each other, and all streams return to the sect; the original method is the supreme reason, and the means are only external appearances, and there is really no distinction between good and evil immortals and demons!"

The red-haired alien's words were very good for the young man's spleen, and he couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it. I was about to echo, but when I heard the red-haired old man's words, he turned his back to the sky, and said indignantly:

"Most of the people who have entered the world are cynical, and they don't study their appearance and don't repair their appearance, so that ordinary people who value the surface and ignore the appearance will misunderstand us and call us 'evil and crooked ways'. For example, I was nicknamed 'Red-Haired Old Devil' because of my hair color and style! Who knew that I was a very upright person?"

Speaking of this, the red-haired demon fairy let out a long sigh, as if full of melancholy that "everyone is drunk and I am sober".

Hearing him say this, Xingyan also looked at his unkempt red hair, and couldn't help but think in his heart:

"Huh...... It's no wonder that others say that this hair does look like a bird's nest on fire at first glance......"

Just when Xingyan was thinking wildly in his heart, this old man, who was degraded by others, saw that the young man in front of him seemed to be not very frightened and resistant to his demonic identity, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said excitedly:

"Little brother fruit is different from those laymen! Don't hide it from the little brother, I came today to help you relieve the great misfortune!"

"Big Doom?!"

As soon as the red-haired old man said this, the three young men and women were taken aback.

"Exactly! You probably don't know that you're in for a catastrophe!"

Seeing their astonishment, the red-haired monster repeated it again, with a clear statement.

Suddenly, when he heard that he was in good shape, he was also very alarmed, and after a little calm, he cautiously asked:

"I don't know what the old man is referring to when he says ...... disaster?"

Unlike his careful words, the little Qiong Wei couldn't help but jump up and shouted:

"The old devil is going to say what's going on! Is there another bad guy who wants to beat my brother?"

And beside her, the thousand-year-old Mei Ling Kou Xueyi, at this time, was also like ice and snow, listening nervously to what was going on. When she was so nervous, no one paid attention to the disrespectful salutation that the little sister blurted out. Seeing that his words attracted the attention of the three of them, the red-haired old man in Geyi smiled slightly, and said in a good time:

"If the old man is not mistaken, the little brother should have practiced the 'soul devouring' technique?"

As soon as these words came out, the young man in front of him was suddenly startled!

Seeing him like this, the red-haired stranger who met in Pingshui smiled with satisfaction and continued:

"This soul eater, although powerful, is also a little inappropriate. The deeper the power, the greater the power of those soul-devouring spirits. I see that the little brother looks good now, but your soul-devouring skill is already very profound, if you don't take precautions, I'm afraid that in a few years, you will be doomed—of course, fortunately, you met the old man today, and I am destined for you......"

The "red-haired old devil" thought that he was talking about the sincerity of reason, and when he was talking about happiness at this time, he didn't notice that the young man, who had been listening respectfully, heard this, and the look in his eyes suddenly tightened!
