On a boulder in the forest, a woman stands still. Many black shadows in the dense forest came with various sounds, which seemed to whisper, like ghosts crying, like beasts roaring, but they were not like human words, mixed with the rustle of rain hitting the leaves, which was even more strange.

A strange bird flapped its wings and came to the woman, like an owl, but with wings like a pair of feathered ears.

The woman reached out and caught the strange bird. The strange bird's steely claws clung at her slender arm, but they couldn't hurt her in the slightest. The strange bird first cooed a few times, and then babbled out human words, although it was like the sound of a dilapidated tape recorder, but it repeated Xu Xian's words word for word.

The woman listened intently, not wanting to miss a word. He was relieved when he heard the end, he and the tiger spirit were not together. Then with a finger of his hand, a little monkey jumped out of the dark shadow under the boulder, running around the woman quickly, while chirping endlessly, although with joy, but like a baby's cry. On such a rainy night, it can be called weird.

And the little monkey had a human face, a distorted human face, as if it was full of irritability and hideousness, like a ghost face. As he ran on the boulder, a pair of sharp claws sparked, and its claws were unusually large compared to its size. The sparks briefly illuminated the rainy night, illuminating the surrounding black shadows, but there was not a single human being in the dark shadows.

The woman paused slightly, revealing a look of displeasure. The ghost-faced monkey immediately stopped, and landed on the woman's shoulder with a slight leap, making a coquettish and flattering look with its hideous ghostly face. The woman whispered a few words to the ghost-faced monkey, and the ghost-faced monkey nodded the monkey's head, chirped a few more times, jumped up from the woman's shoulder, landed on a tree branch more than ten meters away, and then quickly disappeared in the rainy night.

The woman waved her hand again, and the shadows dispersed.

Above the clearing, she was left alone to stare at the dazed darkness of the night and the direction in which the campfire was lit.

The tiger spirit slowly relaxed his vigilance, and Xu Xian also sat back in his place. Looking at the giant tiger around him, he couldn't help but think, could these be the "people" who hurt it? Sure enough, they weren't ordinary people! However, he didn't have any intention of helping the tiger for fun, but just wanted to find a den of thieves, and then he parted ways with this tiger spirit, and then he would settle his destiny!

It cannibalizes countless people, and at least from a person's point of view, it is not unjust to be killed.

There was no word all night, and by the next day, the rain was still falling, and the dense forest was filled with the smell of dampness. But Xu Xian's side was extremely dry, and the power of the sun still had a great effect on dehumidification.

Xu Xian pushed the tiger spirit beside him and ordered it to hurry on the road. It's just that when it came time to look for it, it was much simpler than he imagined.

That place was Xu Xian who had passed by countless times, but because of the vines, he didn't find a cave here at all. Today, with the guidance of this tiger spirit, Xu Xian discovered this place.

Xu Xian prepared to sneak in and listen to what they had to say. One is to avoid harming the innocent. The second is to listen to what the two thieves said, there are still passers-by they caught, and if they are taken hostage by them at that time, it will be even more troublesome, and they have to find a way to rescue them first. As for the group of thieves, they naturally killed them cleanly, so as not to fall into the hands of the government and have any accidents.

The good are not necessarily soft-hearted, but there is a saying called "the brave must be ruthless", Xu Xian's goodness has never been weak and submissive, but often has the courage of "although ten thousand people go to me". Annihilation and elimination of evil is said today.

Xu Xian just walked a few steps, the tiger spirit stopped in front of him, Xu Xian found that there was a rope ring trap on the ground, as an extremely hidden, look carefully, one side of the rope is still connected to the copper bell, if you step on it, even if it is fine, it will inevitably trigger the alarm. Xu Xian couldn't help but feel embarrassed and made a gesture of thanks to the giant tiger. Dodge the trap and head into the hole.

Deep in the cave, a dark river flows, flanked on both sides by stalactites. In the darkness, a ray of light fell on a stone platform, on which several men dressed as hunters sat around, and in the middle of it was a pile of belongings, as if discussing something.

Beside her was a poorly clothed woman tied to a stone pillar, her face covered in dirt. On the other side of the stone pillar, there were several hounds tied to them, and they were staring at the woman, and at first glance they had tasted human flesh. But the woman's eyes were just wide open, as if there was no reflection of everything around her.

One of the bearded men asked, "How did the fifth and sixth die?"

"Of course they were eaten by big insects, didn't you go to see them? Those two stupid people stepped on the beast trap, and the smell of blood attracted big insects, just so we had a little more. Also, you're tired of playing with this girl, and you can't sell it, so it's mine."

The bearded man suddenly turned color and said: "Lao Jiu, you are talking nonsense, we are all doing this, how can it be possible for two people to step on the beast trap together, it is obvious that someone is making a ghost." You say, you didn't fuck it. ”

Then a few people suddenly quarreled, and at this time, the hounds around them suddenly barked wildly, and a group of people immediately stopped talking, picked up the weapons around them and listened attentively, and sure enough, they heard a strange sound from the dark cave, like a baby's cry.

The cry suddenly went to the left, and suddenly to the right, obviously like a cry, but with a sense of joy. They had already let go of the hounds, and when they saw the mountain dogs that even the blind bears dared to rush up, they were lying on the ground and shivering.

The dark cave, the weird cry, several people standing back to back, but they all felt a cold sweat flowing. If you do too many bad things, you are afraid of ghosts after all.

"What is it, get out of here!"

A loud roar, but it only echoed back and forth in this cavern, becoming as vague and strange as the sound. The yeller was first frightened by his own voice, and the cry was also hidden.

In the boundless silence, the "bearded" suddenly felt a drop of water fall from the top of his head, in such a stalactite cave, dripping water is the most common thing, but the man immediately felt that something was wrong, because the water droplet was actually hot, and it was still a little sticky when touched by his hand. Like, as if it were saliva. An eerie baby cry suddenly sounded above their heads.

The man jerked his head up, only to see a shaggy black shadow fall on his face, a pair of sharp claws grabbing at the top of his head. The man was relieved, he saw the size of the thing, and knew that the most that this scratch would leave on his face was a few blood marks.

As soon as this thought slipped through his mind, his heavenly spirit cover was lifted, and the paw stirred up a few times in his mind, and sent it into his mouth, but it was the little monkey with a grimace, chirping at Lei Gong's mouth at the moment, as if tasting the taste of brains.

The person next to him let out a sad cry, "Er!" The knife and fork in his hand stabbed towards the ghost-faced monkey without hesitation, but it stabbed in the air. The cry sounded next to him, and several people looked over, only to see the ghost-faced monkey holding a bright red heart in his hand, throwing it back and forth to play. The heart was still beating faintly.

One of them felt pain in his abdomen at this time, and when he looked down, he saw that the internal organs had flowed out of his body, and he stretched out his hand in vain to cover it, but he had no intention of not living, so he fell straight to the ground.

"Fourth!!"

It's a long story, but it's actually just a moment, the moment the ghost-faced monkey jumps off the top of the head of the "second child", cuts through the chest of the "fourth child", and plucks off his heart. The ghost-faced monkey lowered his head and sniffed in his heart, then looked at a few more people, as if he had estimated. A few squeaky laughs, and then only the tip of the heart was eaten.

Several people felt that their hearts were cold, and there was no desire for revenge in their hearts, only fear remained, and they finally understood the behavior of those hounds, and what else could they do in the face of such creatures?

After a few wails and screams, silence returned to the cave. The ghost-faced monkey is extremely picky and only eats the part of the brain and the tip of the heart, but ignores the other parts. It was originally a strange beast in the mountains, and although it resembled an ape, it was not an ape, but often fed on monkey brains.

It does not hunt, but when it is hungry, it gathers a group of monkeys, forms a line, and picks out the old, weak, sick and disabled, and puts a small stick on the monkey's head, and the other monkeys disperse, and the chosen one is its food. But it is thin and thin, does not eat much, and can also protect the monkeys. And the monkeys seem to be bred by it, but they can continue. It was now subdued by the woman, and used only as an assassin and sentinel.

If this group of hunters fills the trap and prepares, they may be able to fight, but they can only be killed by a sudden attack. It had a round belly, and it had lost interest in the hounds, and walked up to the woman and roared, but saw that the woman's face was dull and unresponsive.

Approached again and sniffed lightly, and immediately withdrew a few meters, covering his nose with his claws, obviously disgusted by the smell of her body. I became interested in the shiny pile of silver coins again.

Xu Xian walked forward in the tortuous cave, although he could see at night, but he felt troublesome without guidance, but unfortunately the tiger spirit was too big to drill into the hole, otherwise he could borrow its sense of smell. However, after walking in the dark for a while, Xu Xian suddenly heard several screams. Hurried in the direction where the sound came from, and finally saw a little light, but only saw corpses all over the ground under the pillar of light, full of blood.

A monkey-like monster is hanging the copper coin around his neck, seeing Xu Xian, "wow" a few strange screams, dropped the copper coin, and once again disappeared in the dark, but under Xu Xian's night vision, its movements are clearly visible, only to see it jump sensitively between the stone pillars of the dome, but the eyes do not leave Xu Xian on the ground for a moment.

Xu Xian looked around blankly, pretending not to see it.

Finally, when it climbed onto a stalactite pillar above Xu Xian's head, it saw the opportunity, stepped on its hind foot, and rushed towards Xu Xian, a pair of sharp claws cut through the air, making a sharp wind sound, and it was about to catch the back of Xu Xian's head. Xu Xian suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Pro!"

The ghost-faced monkey was already in the air, and was drunk by Xu Xian with a big thunder sound technique, and he was suddenly dizzy and couldn't help himself.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand at the same time and firmly grasped the body of the ghost-faced monkey. The ghost-faced monkey struggled violently, but its claws could not penetrate Xu Xian's golden arm. Xu Xian's eyes flashed with golden light, and he was about to use real fire to refine it to death.

But I heard a coquettish cry in the dark: "Assistant!"

Xu Xian heard the sound, his face was happy, and he said, "Xiaoqian!" couldn't help but let go, and the ghost-faced monkey suddenly broke free, screamed, and ran in the direction where the voice came.

Xu Xian was about to walk over, but suddenly heard a wail behind him, and turned his head to see the woman in distress stabbing a short fork into his chest. It turned out that Xu Xian's drink actually brought him back to his senses, and the first thing he did was to commit suicide.

Xu Xian hurriedly went over to take a look, but he was still angry, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart. Tiger cannibalism is just death, and only humans can torture their own kind to such a situation. turned his head to look for Xiaoqian, where is there any trace of her.

Xu Xian couldn't help but understand, why did Xiao Qian come here, and why did he hurt the tiger spirit? But this is not what he cares about the most, what he cares about the most is, why does Xiao Qian avoid him?

The smell of blood in the cave was strong, Xu Xian frowned, and walked out again. The tiger spirit was gone, probably running away! I found a river, put the ebony hairpin into the water, and slowly washed it, and the pattern on it gradually became clear. Who else could it be if it wasn't Xiaoqian?

Xu Xian looked at his reflection in the pool water, constantly elongating and twisting with the surging of the water waves. I couldn't help sighing, people are not as good as tigers! But suddenly in the turquoise water, I saw a pale blue figure, floating with the water waves.

Xu Xian raised his head abruptly and said in surprise: "Xiao Qian?"

Xiao Qian glanced at Xu Xian with complicated eyes, but turned her head away and said, "Young Master Xu, give me back the hairpin!"

Xu Xian heard the three words "Xu Gongzi", for some reason, he suddenly felt a little lost, and remembered a sentence: There was once a sincere love in front of me, and I didn't cherish it...... I can't help but shake my head and sigh bitterly, it's really a man's inferior surname. said: "Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you?" It seems that the last time we met, it was fine.

Xiao Qian shook her head, stretched out her hand and said, "Throw it to me!" There was only a piece of turquoise river between the two, but at this moment, it was like a moat.

Xu Xian naturally couldn't just give her the hairpin, and asked, "Who made you sad? Is it the tiger spirit?"

Xiao Qian said: "If Xu Gongzi likes it, take it! Just take it, just take it as Xiao Qian's wedding gift to you, you and I will say goodbye!" When she heard about Xu Xian's concubine, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

At the beginning, he begged for perfection and only wanted to be with him, but he shirked that he had something to do, no matter what it was, she was willing to be considerate of him, and even wait for him. But I didn't expect this to be the result, I can't be with her, is it okay to accept a Qinglou woman as a concubine?

Xu Xian didn't understand why Xiao Qian was angry, it was clearly for herself. couldn't help but smile bitterly, this matter involved too many changes in mind and all kinds of coincidences. It's just that now, he can't say that he was forced, that is, he is irresponsible to Yun Yan. It's just that I can't watch Xiaoqian be so sad.

Xu Xian lowered his head, sighed, stepped into the pool in front of him, walked on the water, and walked towards Xiaoqian step by step, but he was much faster than driving the clouds, and only said: "When I walk over, I will explain to you!"

Xiao Qian just shook her head, her long hair danced, and floated away, the gloom on her face was the same as when they met. People and ghosts have different paths, and it is expected that they will end up like this! In a sense, he is indeed inferior to the Qinglou woman.

But hearing the sound of "plopping", Xiao Qian looked back, where was there still Xu Xian's figure on the water.

It turned out that Xu Xian saw Xiao Qian leaving, and hurriedly quickened his pace, but he couldn't control the power of the water spirit, and fell into the river! The cold river water submerged him, Xu Xiansuo stretched his limbs, swam to the shore, grabbed a stone, leaned out of the water, looked up and saw a bare hand in front of him, Xu Xian smiled, grabbed the hand, and walked out of the water.

But the other hand held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

Xu Xian looked at the woman in front of him who was prone to self-pity, pulled her to sit down by the river, and said, "Okay, don't be angry." I'll tell you about my recent business, and in exchange, will you tell me about yours too?"

Xiao Qian nodded, seeing that Xu Xian was dripping and embarrassed, her mood was much lighter. Being held by his hand, my heart also warmed a little.

Xu Xian brought all the things he encountered during this period of time, whether it was the voyage of the Yangtze River, the invasion of thieves, or Bai Suzhen, Yun Yan Qingluan, etc., to Xiaoqian in every detail. Xiao Qian just sat on the side and listened quietly, listening to Xu Xian's fight and showing a light smile.

Xu Xian sighed secretly, this woman, who always had a bit of coldness, seemed to have matured a lot and seemed quieter. And Xu Xian explained why he and Yun Yan were able to be together, and the current relationship. Finally, he said, "Are you still angry?"

Xiao Qian smiled and shook her head, in fact, when Xu Xian waded into the water, she wasn't very angry! As long as you understand this, everyone else may be able to let go!

Xu Xian smiled and said, "Now it's time to talk about you, why did you come here to fight the tiger, and what's going on with that little monster?"

Xiao Qian didn't answer and asked, "Young Master Xu, what do you want Xiao Qian to call you?"

Xu Xian smiled: "What do you say?" let go of the heavy burden that once was, and now you are the real yourself!" "If you call Xu Gongzi again, I will be angry." ”

Xiao Qian finally showed a sweet smile and called sweetly: "Xianggong." ”

Looking at that smile, Xu Xian couldn't help but ask himself, how could such a woman let her go in the first place?

Then Xiaoqian talked about all the things that had happened recently, and Xu Xian knew that the mountains near Hangzhou had almost been captured by her. The name of this black old demon is only now confirmed. And while conquering these mountain ranges, her cultivation also increased.

There are water gods in the world, and there are naturally mountain gods, and the so-called heaven and earth aura is between the mountains and rivers, and the world also calls it the dragon vein. If you can palm a river, you can get the aura of a river, and after a long time, you will combine with the aura of the river to become a water god, and you can get the aura of a mountain if you can palm a mountain, and become a mountain god.

The mountains of the world, except for the five mountains that are enshrined in heaven, are righteous gods. Others, such as the Seventy-two Cave Heavens and the Thirty-six Blessed Lands, are all occupied by profound cultivators. The remaining ownerless hills are countless, often obtained by spirits, and they become mountain gods over time.

The tiger spirit that Xu Xian saw yesterday is the mountain god of this Yulei Mountain, the tiger is the king of the mountain, and the process of combining the aura of the mountain range is superior to other spirits, although it has not yet transformed, but it has the ability to give Xiaoqian a headache. Lin Hundred Beasts, Thousands of Ghosts, and Xiao Qian's subordinates were not able to take off such ones.

Xiao Qian originally set up a net to capture and kill the tiger spirit, but the tiger spirit roared, and her subordinates were shocked, so it escaped, and Xiao Qian only made up for it. Her spell knot method is specifically used to deal with people and ghosts, but it doesn't have much effect on this spirit beast.

If it weren't for the Tiger Spirit's recent production, when it was at its weakest, it might not be its opponent.

Xiao Qian said a little worriedly: "Xianggong, do you think it's okay?" but saw Xu Xian and the tiger by the bonfire that night.

Xu Xian naturally wouldn't stop her, the tiger spirit had killed countless people, but he had no ill will towards him, so he didn't make a move. I have already planned to have my own destiny, not to mention that this is Xiaoqian, who calls herself a father-in-law?

At this time, the grimace monkey came out of the forest and came to Nie Xiaoqian, waving his paws while chirping, gesturing something. Xiao Qian smiled slightly and said to Xu Xian, "I have found the lair of the tiger spirit." It turned out that Xiao Qian found traces of the tiger spirit outside the cave, so she ordered her subordinates to track it all the way, and now there is a result.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "Then let's go and take a look, maybe I can help you!" As he spoke, he drove the clouds in Xiao Qian's surprised gaze and asked Xiao Qian to come up. This cloud and mist can't take people, but Xiaoqian is a light ghost, so it's okay.

Seeing that Xiao Qian was about to rise into the air with Xu Xian, the ghost-faced monkey hurriedly turned around on the ground, climbed on Xiao Qian's shoulder, but immediately dragged her down. Although its body is light, it always has weight. Xiao Qian patted its monkey head and let it run over on its own.

The ghost-faced monkey suddenly didn't follow, only grabbed Xiao Qian's sleeve and refused to let go. It's like a child who spoils his mother, and it's like a monster that kills people like child's play. But just like the tiger that eats people, he is a heavenly surname, but he doesn't have any negative emotions, and the spirit doesn't understand the so-called morality of human beings.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand and gently grabbed it, put it on his shoulder and said, "That's always good!" The ghost-faced monkey grinned and scurried on Xu Xian's head and shoulders, and Xiao Qian patted its head to calm him down.

The clouds rose into the air and flew in one direction, although slowly, but without all kinds of distractions on the ground, it would save a lot of time.

There was a roar of "whoa", and the mountains and forests shook.

(To be continued)
