Chapter 203: Inhuman
、、、、、、、
Middle Earth, twenty miles outside the city of Heyang.
The sky is getting dark, the pedestrians on the ancient road are gradually disappearing, when the times are troubled, demons are prevalent, although it is said that it is under the foot of the Qingyunmen Mountain, but no one can say whether it will suddenly encounter any demons and monsters.
No one has one life, even ordinary people cherish their lives, not to mention that when the beast demon catastrophe has just passed, the people who live the rest of their lives after the catastrophe naturally cherish themselves more.
It's just that, after all, there are still a few figures, walking on the road very conspicuously, and there is an old man at the head of the line, with a fairy wind, holding a bamboo pole, on which is hung an old cloth, on which are written the words "immortals guide the way". There was also a man and a woman behind, the man's headscarf was masked, the woman's delicate and cute, although it was dark, but she still seemed to be concentrating on looking at a book with a black wordless cover in her hand.
This is naturally Zhou Xian, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Daoren.
Along the way, they dragged on, Zhou Zhou Xian pulled passers-by aside from time to time, eyebrows flew and danced nonsense, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Daoist naturally couldn't see it, but those who were pulled by him to tell fortunes, but as Zhou Zhou Xian said before, after he told his fortunes, all of them were shocked by the spirits, and after paying the money, they seemed to rekindle their vitality and leave happily.
Later, Zhou Xian earned enough money, but Xiaohuan didn't bother to care about it at all, just reading books by himself. Over the past few days, Xiaohuan has become more and more fascinated by the book that Mr. Ghost left that day to record the secret techniques of strange ghosts, not only when she is resting, but also when she usually walks, she can't let go of the book, at this moment the sky is dark, but she doesn't seem to notice it at all, and she is still fully engaged in the book.
The wild dog Taoist next to him greeted Zhou Xian and said, "Senior, it seems that we can't go to Heyang City today, if we can't find anyone, I'm afraid we will still have to sleep in the wild." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian looked at the sky, nodded, and then looked around, but only to see that the surroundings were dim, not to mention that there were no people living outside this wilderness, even the dilapidated temples and dilapidated houses that had fallen into disrepair.
Zhou Zhou Xian coughed, but he saw the Wild Dog Daoist looking at him, and his granddaughter Xiaohuan didn't react at all, she still followed behind the Wild Dog Daoist, reading the black ghost book with all her heart. Zhou Zhou Xian has always felt that it is very inappropriate for his granddaughter to read this book of ghosts, but it is not easy to say what is wrong, every time he says how cruel and unreasonable the ghost is and how it is a vicious demon technique, Xiaohuan sent him away with one sentence:
"There are many ways to save people from this demonic technique, it is stronger than your physiognomy technique!"
Every time Zhou Zhou Xian heard this, he was speechless, but he was thick-skinned enough and refused to admit defeat, but he couldn't say anything like Xiaohuan throwing away the ghost path. Anyway, Zhou Daxian looked at Xiaohuan and looked at this book anyway, and at this moment he shouted slightly angrily: "Xiaohuan, when is it, why are you still reading that ghost book?"
Xiaohuan raised his head from the book, looked at Zhou Zhou Xian, and said impatiently: "Grandpa, we are walking so slowly, it's not that I read the book, it's you who show people fortune telling and cheat money, so it's so slow." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian choked for a moment, his old face was slightly red, he coughed twice, turned his head, and said with a dry smile: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this, I mean, we have no place to live now, just think of a way." ”
The wild dog Taoist shook his head and said, "I really can't find anyone to stay here, senior, you are more familiar with this place than us, think about whether there is a broken temple nearby, and we can deal with it for a night." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian snorted and sneered: "How do you know that I am more familiar with this place, although the old man was born in Heyang City since he was a child, he has always wandered the world, when will he be familiar with this place...... Ugh!"
He suddenly thought about it, and stopped halfway through his words.
Xiaohuan and the wild dog Daoist were a little strange, and Xiaohuan said, "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"
Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, as if he remembered something but couldn't be sure, and slowly turned around to look ahead, as if he was trying to recall something:
"That...... As I do remember, there was a fork in the road not far ahead, and it was a bit far from the path, but there was a room there. ”
Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist were both happy, and Xiaohuan smiled: "Really, then what are we waiting for, go quickly." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian didn't know why, but he seemed a little hesitant, his brows kept furrowing, trying to remember something, and said: "But I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, it's been too long, I only vaguely remember that there is indeed a room in this direction outside Heyang City, but that room doesn't seem to be a good place." But what exactly it is, I can't remember again......"
Xiaohuan glanced at him, went to ignore him first, and said: "Okay, let's go quickly, at least there is a house, it doesn't matter if it is broken, at least it is better than sleeping in the open." ”
Xiaohuan left first, and the wild dog Taoist naturally followed. Zhou Zhou Xian walked at the end, and he couldn't help but follow, but he kept patting his head with his hand, frowning, and saying something in his mouth, "What kind of house is it, why can't I remember!"
After walking a little further, it was already completely dark, but with the help of a few faint stars in the sky, the three of them found an almost hidden path on the side of the main road, leading to the depths of the wilderness.
Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist both nodded and walked up the path, and the Wild Dog Daoist also quickened his pace, walking in front of Xiaohuan while vigilantly paying attention to the surroundings. Only Zhou Zhou Xian still followed last, muttering with some complaints from time to time, as if he still couldn't remember what the origin and purpose of the house in his memory was.
This path is actually very long, the three of them walked for half an hour, and there was no sign of a house, Xiaohuan was a little suspicious, and turned back to Zhou Xian and said, "Grandpa, are you really not mistaken?"
Zhou Zhou Xian was glanced at by Xiaohuan, and he didn't feel a little weak, and said with a dry smile: "This ...... This one...... You know that when people get older, sometimes they inevitably remember a little bit wrong, but I do remember that there was a house on this road, but I can't remember what that house was doing for a while. Besides, how many years have passed, it is not impossible for the house to be demolished, even if no one demolishes it, it may collapse if it is only afraid of collapse. ”
Xiaohuan was speechless for a while, shook his head, turned around, and suddenly the wild dog Taoist in front of him stood up, and then turned around and shouted: "Come on, the house is here." ”
Xiaohuan and Zhou Zhou Xian were both stunned, and Zhou Zhou Xian was immediately overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "Aha, the old man said, with the wisdom of this immortal, how can he not remember that there is a house here, how can he remember wrong!"
Xiaohuan ignored him, walked quickly to the side of the wild dog Taoist, looked forward, and sure enough, he saw that at the end of the path, there was a house, which occupied a lot of land, but from a distance, the courtyard was barren, the walls were broken, and there was no popularity at all, apparently it had been abandoned for many years.
Zhou Zhou Xian walked slowly, shaking his head, his mouth was slurking, as if he was still boasting, Xiaohuan glanced at him, and said angrily: "Let's go, grandpa." ”
With that, the three of them walked towards the house, and the night wind blew, and it was a little cold on the wilderness, and all three of them shrank their necks.
When I got closer, I could see more clearly, it was really a dilapidated house, the original wall was crumbling and broken, even the courtyard gate was only a dilapidated door frame, and the Yemen panels were gone. As for the courtyard, there was only one room, and the roof above seemed to be half less from the outside, and even the beams were exposed. The house seemed to have a door, which was hidden, and the whole room looked like it was made of wooden planks, and after the wind and rain eroded, a musty smell wafted in the wind.
Xiaohuan frowned, but Zhou Zhou Xian was quite happy, slowly walked into the yard, looked around, and saw that although it was overgrown with weeds, there were no other strange places, it seemed that although he still couldn't remember what kind of house it was, at least it shouldn't be dangerous.
He turned around and beckoned Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist to come in, Xiaohuan walked to Zhou Xian's side, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly turned to the Wild Dog Daoist: "Dao Chief, do you think that the layout of this room, where do we seem to have seen each other?"
The wild dog Taoist was stunned, looked around, looked for a long time, shook his head, said he didn't know, Zhou Zhou Xian said impatiently: "What do you remember, this house is so old that I can't even remember your grandfather, have you seen it?"
Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, forget it, let's go in and have a look." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Go." With that, he led the two of them up the stone steps in front of the house, and pushed the door open with a "squeak".
Just when Zhou Zhou Xian was standing at the door, looking into the dark room, Xiaohuan suddenly felt that his feet moved, and he touched something, and when he looked down, it was a dilapidated black card, and there seemed to be handwriting on it. Curious for a moment, she squatted down, pulled the black wooden sign out of the ruins, brushed away the debris, looked carefully, and after a while, her body shook suddenly, and she took a few steps back, even her face turned a little whiter, and she was a little annoyed, and said loudly: "Grandpa, what kind of place do you see here?"
Zhou Xian turned back in amazement, obviously although he looked around for a long time, the inner room was too dark, and he didn't see it clearly for a while, and said, "What, Xiaohuan?"
Xiaohuan pointed at his feet and said angrily, "See for yourself." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian looked down, looked carefully at the wooden card, suddenly stunned, shook his head, wiped his eyes with his hands, looked at it again, and suddenly shouted "ah", jumped down from the stone steps, stretched out his hand, and did not look like an old person at all.
On the black card, although the handwriting is a little blurred, it can still be recognized as the word "Yizhuang".
Xiaohuan was angry and afraid, and said angrily to Zhou Xian: "You...... What kind of road did you lead to bring us to this kind of hellish place again? Last time in Heyang City, you did this kind of thing once. ”
Zhou Xian's face was red and white, extremely embarrassed, and said: "This, didn't this old man also say it, I really only remember that there is a house here, but I really can't remember what it is for, it turns out that it is ......"
Xiaohuan interrupted him with a "bah", and said, "As long as you talk a lot, what else do you say, go quickly." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly, every time we meet...... This kind of place, we will all be unlucky...... Ugh!"
He was turning around sharply, and when he spoke, he suddenly stopped in shock, and Xiaohuan and the wild dog Daoist who were following him almost hit him, Xiaohuan poked his head out from behind, and said angrily: "Grandpa, what are you doing......
Her voice suddenly stopped.
At this moment, on a dark and windy night, under the starlight, in front of the wilderness haunted house, the three of Zhou Zhou Xian stood in place in a stunned place, only to see that in front of them, at the gate of the courtyard where they had just entered, there was a figure standing there.
The man was quite tall, and the fabric of his clothes seemed to be quite good, but his whole body was extremely dirty, and even his shirt was torn in several places, and he could only barely see that it seemed to be a dark green color.
Somehow, that person's face seemed to be in the shadow all the time, and Zhou Zhou Xian and the other three couldn't see his face clearly, but this person actually appeared behind them quietly, almost like a ghost, a cool breath rose from behind them.
For a long time, the man stood there motionless like a stone, but Zhou Zhou Xian and the others were even more frightened, they actually couldn't feel a trace of the breath of a living person from this figure.
"You...... Who are you?" his voice trembled slightly, but finally Xiaohuan slowly spoke and asked.
The man didn't react, let alone answer, but a moment later, the shadow that hung over his face suddenly lit up like a ghostly fire, as if a pair of strange eyes were looking deeply at the person in front of him.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Zhou Zhou Xian let out a soft snort, Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Dao were startled, and when they looked around, they saw that Zhou Zhou Xian did not look at the person's face, on the contrary, his eyes looked at the man's arm, and said, "That, that's the mark of Qingyunmen......"
100,000 mountains, ancient caves to suppress demons.
The darkness seemed to be endless, standing in front of the ghost and the golden bottle. They have been walking for a long time, but the road seems to never end. However, the strange thing is that there seems to be only one road in this ancient cave, and there is no other fork in the road, which avoids the worry of losing your way.
Since the black bat, every other distance in the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, there will be one or several strong monsters guarding, some of which even moved the golden bottle, but at this moment, the ghost Li has shown unprecedented strength, all the way is like a bamboo, straight into it, almost no monster can block his attack, even the three-eyed spirit monkey Xiao Gray, its strength is also shocking, the fate of the black bat, also happened to several other powerful monsters.
Jin Bei'er didn't do anything all the way, but after looking at it all the way, her face became more and more ugly, the ghost was so high, and the speed of her progress was far beyond her imagination, and even in the end, she secretly thought to herself, in the Demon Sect, is there anyone who can compare to this person?
Is that the brilliant ghost king? or the hidden ghost gentleman?
At this moment, Ghost Li had just knocked a fierce two-headed demon leopard away in front of the golden bottle, and the huge beast body slammed into the hard stone wall, and it looked like it was also very auspicious.
Ghost Li didn't look at the leopard much, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to walk forward, but the little gray lying on his shoulder seemed to be in good spirits, looking around. Jin Bei'er followed behind them, passed by the two-headed demon leopard, turned his head to look, and saw that above the leopard's body, the originally thick body was completely shriveled, as if the essence in the body had been sucked away, which was naturally caused by the demonic power of the blood devouring bead.
It's just that this kind of monster is an extremely powerful creature in itself, and the ghost has a soul devouring magic wand in his hand, but he puts the huge demon beast to death in an instant, this cultivation is almost not high, but terrifying.
This man, when did he start to make such rapid progress in Taoism!
Jin Bei'er's heart became more and more frightened, and the eyes looking at the back of the ghost Li became more and more complicated, at this moment, suddenly, the ghost Li's body stopped, and a somewhat vigilant look slowly appeared on his face.
Jin Bei'er was stunned for a moment, although there were many demon beasts guarding along the way, he had never seen Ghost Li have such a cautious expression, and he hurriedly concentrated on guard at the moment, and sure enough, he found that something was wrong around him.
After the death of the two-headed demon leopard, the usual silence of the surroundings returned to here, but at this moment, in that invisible darkness, there was a low and deep singing:
Komatsugang, the moon is like frost,
People are like fluttering flowers, and they are also hurt.
Ten years, three thousand years,
I hope we will never forget each other......
The song was poignant, and although it didn't sound loud, it somehow got into my ears, and I heard it very clearly, word by word. When I first heard the song, it seemed very desolate, and then my mood was sad, as if in the dark, I followed the singer through three thousand years, reliving the unknown but poignant tenderness.
Time is as ruthless as a knife, is it only a pair of faint smiling eyes that warm your heart?
Have you forgotten?
Years later, or another cycle of vicissitudes?
What do you remember?
The blank emptiness was like a memory, looking at the darkness and the distance in a daze.
Ever, have I ever embraced?
and you.
The monkey Ash suddenly squeaked, and seemed to be very happy, and jumped off the ghost's shoulder and swooped into the darkness.
