Chapter 2: The Demon

,.
The Dharma Xiang standing in front of him whispered a Buddha name, and after a while, a bead shining with a solemn golden light was sacrificed from his hand, at first this light seemed to be attached to the Dharma Phase, but with the Dharma Phase's mana urging, the golden light was flourishing in an instant, with this bead as the center, the golden light poured out in all directions like cháo water.
Zhang Xiaofan stood in place, almost with an illusion of a "whirring" in his ears, and Jin Sè's aperture had already swept past him.
The faces of everyone present were reflected in a faint golden sè, and at the same time, the mood was relaxed, even if there was a little nervousness, it also calmed down in an instant. A huge space, in the blink of an eye, has been as bright as day, if it is not for the strange rocks and bats wriggling, it almost makes people think that they have arrived at the Buddhist resort.
Li Xun, who has always been above the top, was a little surprised at this moment, and stood aside and said, "Reincarnation Bead!"
Fa Xiang glanced at him and said, "Senior Brother Li has good eyesight. ”
Li Xun seemed to be a little more polite to Fa Xiang in his words, and said, "Don't dare, Senior Brother Fa Xiang, you are the one who is profound." ”
At this time, Zhang Xiaofan saw that he had indeed stepped on the clean hard ground under his feet by the light of the "reincarnation bead", and when he looked up, he saw that on the top of the rock cave above his head, those black bats had disappeared for some reason, but the "rustling" sound was clearly still in his ears.
He took a closer look, and then he found that at the top of the cave behind him, countless black bats were still gathered at the top of the cave, but on the hard ground where several of them were treading on the rock, the rock at the top of the cave had a thin red line across the roof of the cave, and it looked like a vein born in the rock.
With this thin red line as the boundary, countless bats gathered and crowded outside, but none of them crossed the red line, and there was no foul bat droppings outside.
Fa Xiang looked around and said in a deep voice: "There are a lot of strange things here, you must be careful. ”
Everyone didn't know how, but they finally stepped on a clean place, and after checking that there was nothing unusual around, most people's first action was to tidy up their clothes.
Zeng "Net", who was standing next to Zhang Xiaofan, took off his shoes, poured out the disgusting things inside, and whispered to Zhang Xiaofan: "For the first time in my life, I know that it is so comfortable to walk on a clean road!"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled, quickly cleaned up, and felt more comfortable.
After a while, Qi Hao saw that everyone was almost fine, so he said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he walked deeper into the cavern.
Everyone followed, and soon, as they walked forward, there was an endless darkness behind them.
Ahead, the darkness was like a monster, smiling with open arms, welcoming them.
A little light in the darkness, slowly moving forward.
I don't know how far I have gone, this ancient and deep cavern seems to be endless, although it has always been very spacious, but it twists and turns, and it is almost impossible to tell the direction except that it is probably inclined to the ground.
The rustling sound of the bats at the mouth of the cave has long been inaudible, and in this darkness, there is no other sound except for the footsteps of everyone, Zhang Xiaofan feels that the humidity around him is getting heavier and heavier, and he doesn't know how deep it has gone into the ground.
The "reincarnation bead" sacrificed by the law still exudes the golden Buddha light, shining on everyone, and Qi Hao, who was at the forefront, also sacrificed the ** mirror at this time just in case.
The two treasures complemented each other, and after walking like this for a while, Qi Hao, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and said to the back: "Slow." ”
Everyone immediately stopped.
There was silence all around, and there was no sound.
The light of "Reincarnation Bead" and "** Mirror" gradually lit up, in front of everyone, in the cave ahead, Huo Ran opened two forks, deep and dark, I don't know where it leads, as if it is like a demon opening its mouth.
And in the middle of the road, which is also the center of the two forks, stands a huge stone monument full six people high, carved with four large blood-red characters.
Heaven is in me!
Li Xun of the Incense Valley snorted and said angrily: "The demon sect demon dares to claim the way of heaven in vain!"
Fa Xiang frowned, glanced at the stele a few more times, and said, "When I came, I heard the words of my mentor Puhong Venerable Venerable Puhong, eight hundred years ago, the Demon Sect did have this stele in this cave, but at that time, it was cut open by my righteous path immortal with a sword with a great divine power, and now I will see you again, why is it intact?"
At this time, Incense Gu Yanhong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Look at the four points under the stone tablet, but there is a broken mark?"
Her voice was soft, and it sounded like a heartbeat, and everyone in Qingyunmen was slightly surprised when they heard Yan Hong speak for the first time. Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that there was a slight crack in that place, obliquely upward, dividing the whole stele into two halves, and the texture of the stone at the crack was dark and red, but if you didn't look closely, you would definitely not be able to see it.
Qi Hao nodded and said to Yan Hong: "Senior Sister Yan is so careful. ”
Yan Hong smiled slightly, lowered her head again, and stopped talking.
Qi Hao glanced at the stele twice, and turned to everyone: "Since this stele has been restored, it can be seen that most of the demon sect demons are here, doing some shady things, and we have come to the right place this time." ”
Fa Xiang continued: "Senior Brother Qi is reasonable, at the moment there is a danger lurking in this cave, there is a problem in front of us, which of these two forks in the road should we take?"
Qi Hao groaned slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang, you just said that Lingshi Puhong Divine Monk had mentioned this place to you, so did his old man mention this fork in the road?"
Fa Xiang nodded and said, "The master did say it, but he also learned from the previous patriarch that it is said that during the Great War of the Righteous Demons, there were demon sect demon lairs after these two forks, and as for the current situation, he is not very clear." ”
Everyone was silent, and after a while, Qi Hao looked at the other three people in the sect, and said to Fa Xiang and the others: "In this case, I don't think it is better to divide the soldiers into two ways, and the four of my Qingyunmen go to the left fork to check, and Fa Xiang, Senior Brother Fa Shan, and Incense Valley go to the right fork to investigate, if you encounter a demon sect demon, you will show jǐng with a long howl, how about it?"
Fa Xiang was silent, although he knew that it was not a good thing to be scattered like this, but the cave was deep, and he didn't know how far these two forks in the road were, if he made a mistake and then turned back, he was only afraid of too much delay in the hour, and the people present were all from various factions, so they might not be able to protect themselves.
At that moment, he turned his head to look at Li Xun and Yan Hong of Incense Valley, and saw that the two of them had no objections, so he said: "Then according to what Senior Brother Qi said, you must be careful." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Xiaofan again, intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved, and he felt that this senior brother seemed to really look at him differently, but he still had a smile on his face.
Qi Hao nodded, hugged his fist to Fa Xiang and the others, and then took Zhang Xiaofan and the other three into the left fork in the road, and after a few steps, the light behind him turned around and gradually disappeared, it seems that Fa Xiang and the others also entered the right fork.
Qi Hao walked at the forefront, sacrificed the **mirror, and urged the immortal power, and the light yellow circle of the **mirror sprinkled down, covering the four of them in it.
This fork in the road is much narrower than the cave that he walked all the way just now, and at the same time, the rocks on both sides are abrupt and sharp, and Zhang Xiaofan almost hung up his color by accident. The only thing that is the same is the eternal darkness around us, where there never seems to be a ray of light.
The four people of Qingyunmen were not in the mood to speak, especially Qi Hao, who was walking at the forefront, was even more engrossed, guarding against the unknown danger ahead.
This walk has been for a long time, so that Zhang Xiaofan can't help but doubt in his heart, even if he encounters a demon sect demon here and lets out a long howl, it is really a question whether Senior Brother Faxiang can hear it.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and in the aisle where everyone was walking, as if the surroundings of eternal darkness and tranquility, suddenly sounded a huge "mmmm" ghost cry, which was deafening and terrifying.
The four of them were taken aback, and as soon as Qi Hao was about to open his mouth to remind, his body was shocked, only to see that from the endless darkness in all directions, all kinds of different lights lit up, and at the same time rushed to the four people in the aisle, hitting the ** mirror aperture.
This power is so great that even the ** mirror is swaying, and Qi Hao's body is even more violently shaken, and he can't speak anymore, so he hurriedly settles down and strengthens his support.
The sound of the ghost crying is getting louder and louder, and it makes people dizzy to hear it, Zeng "Net", Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan protected Qi Hao in zhōngyāng, only to see countless rays of light being shocked back by the ** mirror, turning a corner in the air, and actually turning back and rushing again, in the dark, I don't know how many enemies are hiding, and in the air, I don't know how many magic weapons are flying.
Qi Hao's face was pale, his hands clenched the magic trick, although under the siege of the magic weapon from the outside world, the ** mirror gradually stabilized, and the aperture gradually increased, just when everyone in Qingyunmen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly noticed that the hard ground under his feet actually moved.
His mind moved, and before he could react, he heard Zeng's "Net" exclaim urgently: "Be careful, there is a ...... under your feet"
Before the words were finished, a loud bang overwhelmed the roaring sky, and in an instant, everyone only felt that the mountain was shaking, and a strong force surged out from under their feet, blowing the ground to pieces.
Countless rays of light whistled through the darkness, as if with a triumphant wild laugh, and rushed towards the four people who were separated.
Zhang Xiaofan stood in front of him, and was pushed from under his feet by that force, and the whole person involuntarily flew forward, but he had been practicing in Qingyunmen for many years, and he was shocked but not confused, and put the burning stick that he had already held in his hand to his chest, and the familiar cold feeling swam all over his body, and the "burning stick" emitted a faint blue brilliance in mid-air, facing several rays of light that were closely chasing behind.
A moment later, one of the dark red lights rushed to the front first, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly smelled a bloody smell, vomited, hurriedly held his breath, drove the burning stick, the blue light rose, resisted the dark red light, under the light of the burning stick, somehow, the dark red light suddenly dimmed a lot.
In the darkness of the unknown place, suddenly there was a low sound of surprise.
At this moment, two other rays of light, one yellow and one gray, also rushed over and hit the burning stick together. Zhang Xiaofan saw clearly by the light that the dark red light just now was a small dark red fork with thick blood marks on it, and the yellow light was a three-foot-long sword, but the gray light was very strange, it was a huge unknown beast fang!
Zhang Xiaofan's body was still in mid-air, already stable, but he was unexpectedly collided by these three magic weapons, although there was a "burning stick" volley in the air, but the huge force actually pushed his whole person straight back, and he couldn't control it anymore, and hit the stone wall next to him, sinking half of the person into it, and the stone chips flew sideways.
Zhang Xiaofan saw the Venus in front of him, and his back hurt in his heart, but he knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, fell to the ground, and saw that the three life-seeking objects made a turn in the air, and rushed down viciously.
In the dark, I don't know where those who control the magic weapon are?
Zhang Xiaofan was clumsy, clenched the magic trick and roared, the burning stick flew up into the air, and collided with the rushing Huang Sè flying sword and the beast's fangs in mid-air, with a loud bang, and each of them shook open.
Another small dark red fork that was chasing after him couldn't catch up, and with a bang, it hit the stone wall behind the place where he had just stood, and the rubble flew wildly, and it actually made a large hole in the stone wall.
At this time, the gray fangs were recovered, and when the head was smashed, the tips of the teeth shining with cold light were particularly eye-catching in the dark, looking at its momentum, Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to know the consequences of this strange magic weapon hitting him.
Zhang Xiaofan clenched his teeth, his hands were drawn in the void, the burning stick moved at will, the blue light flashed, and appeared above his head and hit the fang, in mid-air, only a low muffled sound was heard, and a crack appeared on the fang.
In the distance, there was an exclamation, with great regret and consternation.
It's just that Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to reminisce about this little bit of pitiful joy, Huang Sè Flying Sword had rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to react, his forehead was sweating, he screamed in danger, his hands shook, and the whole person floated upward, dissolving into the Xuanqing light of the burning stick.
Huang Sè Flying Sword actually left no room for anything, a turn in mid-air, and rushed up from the soles of his feet, with fangs on him and a flying sword on it, Zhang Xiaofan's whole body trembled slightly, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, his body shrunk, chanted a spell in his mouth, and the burning stick was full of green light, wrapping him around.
"Boom", two loud noises made almost at the same time sounded above Zhang Xiaofan's head and feet, and the enemy's two magic weapons rushed back. The burning stick trembled in the air, Zhang Xiaofan gasped, his heart almost stopped beating at that moment, and in that moment of hallucination, he almost subconsciously thought that he saw the burning stick crack into pieces.
But fortunately, although the burning stick of unknown material was ugly, it was extremely tough and intact, and the fangs of the flying sword were dimly lit, and most of them were damaged.
But having said that, the burning stick was hit hard by this, and the blue light that was raised to protect Zhang Xiaofan also dispersed.
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed and was about to recall the burning stick, when suddenly a sharp pain in his shoulder came, half of his body was weak, and his mind was blank. Lowering his head, he only saw a small dark red fork emerging from his chest and shoulders, piercing out, and red blood gushed out.
It was the dark red fork just now, taking advantage of Zhang Xiaofan's slackness, to attack him hard.
Zhang Xiaofan saw that above the small fork, the originally dark red Yan Sè seemed to light up at this moment, as if he had smelled the smell of blood and woke up.
He let out a low groan, and wanted to reach out and pull out the small fork, but suddenly, as the blood traces on the dark red fork deepened, a shadow in the darkness seemed to come out of nothing, rising from the small fork, and then clinging to Zhang Xiaofan's back.
The owner of this dark red fork looked like it was parasitic on this magic weapon.
Zhang Xiaofan only felt dizzy and dizzy, unable to shake off the demon behind him. In addition to the pain in the wound, there is also an itching sensation at the moment, but I am afraid that most of it is highly toxic.
Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't see the face of the demon behind him, only the hands he clutched tightly on his shoulders, dry and filthy, and smelly.
In the distance, there was a burst of wild laughter, and behind him, there was also a sympathetic voice: "The stinky boy of Qingyunmen, this is your own death, obediently give me jīng blood!"
Before Zhang Xiaofan could react to the meaning of his words, he understood from his movements, only to see that the demon in the shadow opened his big mouth, bit Zhang Xiaofan's left neck, and sucked blood.
At the same time, the dark red fork was even brighter, as if it was also drinking blood.
Zhang Xiaofan was extremely frightened, but he felt that the blood in his whole body was going to his throat, his body had a feeling of lightness, and the strength of his whole body slowly dissipated.
In this situation, in a trance, he suddenly seemed to have returned to the past, in that valley.
That one nightmare!
The burning stick fell from the top of his head, and when it landed in front of him, it emitted a faint blue light, as if calling for something. Zhang Xiaofan grabbed it, and suddenly felt that the cold feeling on the burning stick was surging, like a rage.
The blood on his body kept flowing out, and he was sucked away by the demon, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't hear any sound from the outside world at this moment, but just mustered up the last trace of strength in his body, like a trapped beast, and thrust the flickering blue burning stick into the demon behind him.
The burning stick was blunt and had no edge, but at this moment, it regarded the flesh and blood as tofu, and inserted it like a bamboo.
The demon behind him trembled, stopped sucking blood, seemed to be in disbelief, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaofan, and Zhang Xiaofan also saw him at the same time.
In the dark, like the low sneer of the Nine Demons, and like the heartbeat of someone in the dark, Zhang Xiaofan held the hand of the burning stick, and felt the sound of wave after wave of heartbeat, like the flow of blood, and like the cheers of demons!
The light on the dark red fork quickly dimmed, and behind them, endless darkness rushed over.
At the moment when the darkness engulfed Zhang Xiaofan and the demon, Zhang Xiaofan saw a scene that he could never forget in his life under his semi-conscious consciousness.
The demon's wrinkled but still full face shriveled down in a moment, and the flesh turned into a withered skin that clung to the bones.
The next moment, darkness enveloped him.
What was lost was regained, and an endless stream of power came from the body of the burning stick and dissolved into his body.
Zhang Xiaofan regained consciousness, but he was stunned, the wound on his shoulder was still painful, but the gushing blood had been stopped by the unknown force, but for this young man, he didn't notice it at all. In his mind, there was only one thought:
What did I do?What did I do?This chapter was published by Online Book Friends ww.
