、、、、、、、

The Swamp of Death, the top of the Giant Tree.

Lu Xueqi, Fa Xiang, Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu slowly landed on a huge tree trunk, only to see that there were cracks all around it, and there were countless stumps, even after a long time, it still made people feel moved by the fight between the two ancient giant beasts just now.

But at this moment, their attention was obviously more focused on the few people in front of them.

Fa Xiang frowned slightly and was silent. These people in front of him, when they fought in Liubo Mountain and Qingyun Mountain in the East China Sea, he had seen them before, obviously it was the Ghost King Sect Master Ghost King and his two right-hand men Qinglong and Youji, plus the ghost power that is no longer what it used to be, it can be said that the strength is far superior to his own.

It's a pity that after going up the tree, at that fork, he parted ways with Xiao Yicai of Qingyunmen, Li Xun of Incense Valley, Yan Hong and others, otherwise although they may not be able to defeat these four people, they will eventually have the strength to fight.

But thinking like this, the Ghost King Sect didn't seem to have the intention of doing it immediately.

The four of the Ghost Dynasty Law Ministers glanced at each other, and then asked Ghost Li lightly, "Tell me, how are we going to deal with these people?"

Ghost Li didn't answer immediately, but looked at the Ghost King. I saw that the ghost king's face was kind, and he seemed to be peaceful, but there was a faint sharp flash in his eyes. After a while, he said lightly: "Since you have come here, Sect Master, naturally all affairs will be decided by the Sect Master. ”

Qinglong, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly, and the black veil on Youji's face seemed to shake slightly, looking towards the ghost.

The Ghost King's face did not change, and there was still a hint of a smile on his lips, and he said slowly: "When you came to this death Ze that day, I said that you are in charge of everything here. I'm here with Qinglong and Youhime just to capture this yellow bird. You still have the final say on these four righteous paths! You can do whatever you want. ”

"Phew!"

Suddenly, a cold snort of disdain came from ahead.

Everyone looked forward, but Lin Jingyu's face was like frost, and he said coldly: "Demons and evil ways, if there is a kind, they will come up to fight for life and death, why bother there like a woman chewing her tongue, ridiculous!"

As soon as these words came out, Qinglong's complexion sank first, but the ghost king looked at Lin Jingyu from a distance, but he was not angry, but smiled, turned his head and said to the ghost: "This person is Lin Jingyu, right! is it your childhood friend?"

Ghost Li's heart was shocked. To this day, Lin Jingyu's reputation is not very loud, but for some reason, the ghost king can recognize it at a glance. He looked at the ghost king's slight smile, but his heart suddenly felt a chill.

The ghost king looked at him and said lightly, "Say it!"

Ghost Li met his gaze, looked at him calmly, and said, "Most of the things here have been completed, and these people are not important roles, so don't pay attention to them." Sect Master, you still have to clean up the yellow bird first, which is the top priority. ”

The Ghost King looked at him and did not speak, and the audience fell silent for a while.

A trace of melancholy flashed in Qinglong's eyes, and the Youji next to him couldn't see any expression because of the black veil, but he didn't look very relaxed when he thought about it. Youhime's gaze turned around the ghost and the ghost king through the black veil, and then glanced into the distance, and was suddenly stunned. I saw that among the four righteous people in the distance, Lu Xueqi stood silently at the end, her face was cold, but her eyes were looking at Ghost Li from afar.

Under that frosty face, there seemed to be an unknown faint care.

Yuhime suddenly reached out and quietly pushed Qinglong.

Qinglong was a little worried, and suddenly felt something, and looked back at Youhime, only to see Youhime's black veil swaying lightly, moving in the direction of the ghost king's figure. He was listed as the four great holy envoys of the Ghost King Sect with Youji, how could he not know her thoughts, but at this moment, he was not without worries in his heart.

After pondering for a while, Qinglong finally walked behind the ghost king lightly, and said in a low voice: "Sect Master, what Ghost Li said is not unreasonable, now that the yellow bird has been surrendered, we should settle it first, otherwise within the dead Ze, the two factions of Ten Thousand Poisons and Hehuan are all there, and they are afraid of change." ”

The Ghost King turned his head to look at Qinglong, nodded slowly, and said, "What you said is very true. Then a faint glint flashed in his eyes, and he said to the ghost: "Since this is the case, I will leave it to you here." ”

Ghost Li nodded silently and said, "You can rest assured." ”

The Ghost King looked at him again, smiled suddenly, and turned to go. The green dragon behind him smiled at Ghost Li, and then followed.

Yu Ji slowly followed, and when she passed by Ghost Li's side, Ghost Li looked at her and nodded slightly.

Yuhime's black veil shook slightly, but she didn't say anything, and walked over like this.

After the Ghost King and the others disappeared, Ghost Li slowly turned around and looked at Fa Xiang and the others.

Fa Xiang coughed, took a step, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang......"

Ghost Li said coldly: "My name is Ghost Li." ”

Fa Xiang was stunned, Lin Jingyu behind him frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fan, why do you have to be like this? I know that you have a good heart, but you were only killed by traitors back then, and then you strayed into the devil's ......."

When Fa Xiang heard this, he was quite harsh, but he only smiled slightly bitterly and said nothing.

I only heard Lin Jingyu continue: "...... As long as you are willing to turn back, I believe that with the mind and bearing of the head of Daoxuan, you will definitely be allowed to return to Qingyun. ”

Ghost Li said lightly: "Why should I turn back?"

Lin Jingyu's body was shocked, and a pair of eyes stared at the former childhood friend in front of him, only to see him standing there, with an indescribable cold feeling, said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs! ”

Lu Xueqi stood at the end, and her body seemed to tremble slightly. Zeng Shushu stood beside her, looked at her look in his eyes, frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Lin Jingyu had an angry look on his face, stepped forward, and was about to say something more, but was stopped by the law minister.

Fa Xiang looked at Lin Jingyu, shook his head lightly at him, and said in a low voice: "He has fallen into the devil deeply, you must not be in a hurry, otherwise it will backfire!"

Lin Jingyu originally stopped Fa Xiang and showed anger on his face, but when he heard him say this, he finally knew that it was as he said. He turned his head to look at Ghost Li again, his heart softened, and he remembered the time when the two little Wuchai had fun together, and finally gritted his teeth and retreated.

Fa Xiang pondered for a moment, and said to the ghost: "Ghost donor, whether you admit it or not, we always have a relationship. If the Emperor's Treasury has been destroyed today, and there doesn't seem to be any peerless treasures, then let's leave it at that!"

Ghost Li snorted, glanced at Fa Xiang, and then looked at the others, looked at Lin Jingyu, looked at Zeng Shushu, and finally looked at Lu Xueqi's face.

The cold woman stood at the end, her face was like frost, her eyes were like water, and she couldn't see the bottom of the depths, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her deep heart.

Ghost Li retracted his gaze and said no more, turned around and left.

didn't walk for long, faintly heard someone chasing after him, Ghost Li frowned, turned to look, and was suddenly stunned, but it was Zeng Shushu who caught up, and looked at the faces of Fa Xiang and others behind him, and seemed to be a little stunned.

Zeng Shushu ran to him, turned his back to Fa Xiang and the others, stared at Ghost Li for a moment, suddenly laughed, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't kill me, right?"

Ghost Li looked at him, looking at his smile, it seemed that there was no change at all from when they met on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, and he was still so cheerful. After a moment, his gaze finally softened, but his voice was still as flat as water, and he said, "What's the matter?"

Zeng Shushu said "tsk" twice, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Anyway, I still treat you as a friend, as for what you think, I can't help it." Speaking of this, he paused, suddenly blinked his eyes a few times, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, let me hug this three-eyed spirit monkey, okay?"

The ghost was stunned, and the scene of Zeng Shushu pestering himself to ask for Xiao Ash suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable warmth in his heart. In fact, he grew up in Qingyun Mountain since he was a child, and he has a deep affection for the grass and trees on the big bamboo peak of Qingyun Mountain, not to mention Zeng Shushu, one of the few friends.

Zeng Shushu didn't speak, but he didn't seem to have any disdain or opposition, and he was happy in his heart. He has always been extremely smart, and he still takes Ghost Li, a friend who has entered the demon path, very seriously in his heart. It's just that he knows that Zhang Xiaofan's temperament is stoic and stubborn, and he would rather die than protect it for the sake of a promise back then, so you can imagine that for this matter, he suffered a lot back then.

So over the years, in order to pull this friend out of the devil's path, Zeng Shushu has secretly thought of many ways alone, and in the end he can only come up with one thing - it is better to delay than to rush.

At this moment, Zeng Shushu's eyes fell on Xiao Ash lying on Ghost Li's shoulder, his eyes lit up, and he smiled openly: "Xiao Ash, it's me!

Little Gray was lazily lying on the Ghost Li's shoulder, and somehow, the monkey's face was flushed, but it looked a little like ordinary people who had drunk too much. After Zeng Shushu screamed a few times, he opened his monkey eyes weakly, glanced at Zeng Shushu, and the boss "squeaked" twice impatiently in his mouth, and closed his eyes again.

Zeng Shushu was not angry at all, he seemed to like him very much, and the words "salivating" were clearly written on his forehead.

Ghost Li looked at Zeng Shushu's expression, as if there had been no change in the past ten years, and suddenly sighed, and said, "Forget it! It's tired today, if there is a fate to see you again in the future, then we can talk about it." ”

Zeng Shushu looked at Xiao Ash reluctantly, nodded, and then moved his gaze to Ghost Li's face.

Ghost Li said lightly: "In the future, if the good and the devil are opposed, you and I will be the enemy, you can just do it." As for ......" He raised his eyes and looked at Zeng Shushu, and after a while, he said slowly: "You and I are different, and we must be enemies, but in my heart, you are still a friend." ”

Zeng Shushu was overjoyed, smiled, nodded vigorously, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Ghost Li's shoulder vigorously, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he took it back. Then his eyes rolled, and he suddenly seemed to think of something, a snicker appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he reached into his arms and took out something, but it was a rather worn blue cover book, there was no handwriting on the cover, and I don't know what kind of book it was?

Ghost Li frowned, somehow, looking at this book seemed to be a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Zeng Shushu quietly stuffed the book into Ghost Li's hand, and laughed softly: "Brothers, I will give you a small gift when we meet for the first time in ten years." ”

Ghost Li looked at Zeng Shushu's appearance, seven points of joy in his smile, but there were three points of inexplicable obscenity, frowned and looked at the book in his hand, and opened it casually......

"Ahh

Even with the calm and concentration of the ghost now, his body still trembled, and he hurriedly closed the book. The content of this book is impressively a lot of words and pictures, and the pictures are full of naked men and women, but it is the Spring Palace book that Zeng Shushu wanted to use to exchange for Xiao Ash ten years ago, when they were still young.

"You ......" Ghost Li was dumbfounded for a moment, unable to speak.

Zeng Shushu glared at him and said, "If you don't want the two of us to be ruined, don't speak loudly." ”

The ghost stared at him, and there was an inexplicable confusion in his heart, he should have thought that this person was really messing around, but somehow, this seemingly boring and boring action suddenly made him and Zeng Shushu in front of him a lot closer at once, and the old time seemed to be back again.

Zeng Shushu smiled at him, turned around and walked back. He was in a hurry this time, but he really had a deep meaning, if he wanted to pull this friend back from the demonic path, he had to let him recognize his friend first. Now that he is risking to be ridiculed by everyone to do this boring thing, it really makes the ghost have nothing to say, presumably when they meet again in the future, the relationship between the two must be much better than now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Fa Xiang walked back to him, saw him smiling, and said, "Senior Brother Zeng, why are you so happy?"

Zeng Shushu was in a good mood, made a grimace at the Fa Xiang, and said: "The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say!"

Fa Xiang smiled and glanced at the ghost in the distance, only to see that the man was standing there, holding a thick blue book in his hand, his face seemed to be a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He shook his head at the moment and said to the others: "This is the end of the matter, let's go too! ”

Zeng Shushu nodded first, and then Lin Jingyu and Lu Xueqi also nodded silently in agreement.

The four of them turned into four-colored light, rose into the air, circled in midair, and then went away.

Standing on top of the huge tree trunk, Ghost Li suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, as if he had lost something. His gaze then fell on the book in his hand, and then he raised his hand, as if he was about to throw it out, but suddenly he smiled bitterly, and finally took the book back and put it in his arms.

Then, he took a deep breath, took another breath, cheered up, and said, "Little Ash, let's go out!"

Xiao Ash didn't even open his eyes this time, and called out twice vaguely: "Squeak, squeak." "I don't know if it's an answer.

Ghost Li smiled slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, he took up the Soul Devouring Magic Weapon, turned into blue light, flew away like lightning, and left the giant tree.

The ghost flew over the dead water, soaring through the mist and miasma. He came out of Uizawa, slightly identified the direction in mid-air, and then flew towards the place where the Ghost King Sect had arranged the people and horses in Weezawa.

His flying speed is naturally extremely fast, but the death is really vast, and after flying for half an hour, there is still a vast sea of grass everywhere in front of him, and it is verdant. Although I don't know how many death traps there are down there, when you look at it from mid-air, it is picturesque and refreshing.

It's just that when he was about to fly to the location of the Ghost King Sect, Ghost Li suddenly frowned, and there was a faint familiar smell of blood in the air, which drifted away with the wind.

Ghost Li's face changed, he let out a light roar, and suddenly the blue light under his feet became even stronger, and he rushed down from the sky.

The blue light fell from the sky, and with a fierce wind, flew over the green grass pond. The invisible wind blew the water of the sea of grass to both sides, causing ripples on the water.

Soon, Ghost Li saw the gathering place of the Ghost King Sect, only to see that many people were still gathered here, and it seemed that at least most of them were still safe, so he was half relieved.

At this time, the disciples of the Ghost King Sect also discovered that the ghost power had fallen from the sky and stood up one after another.

The ghost fell down and stood on the ground, but his first reaction was that his brows tightened. The smell of blood here is extremely strong, and it seems that the smell of blood that I smelled in the sky just now is emitted from here.

A group of disciples of the Ghost King Sect next to him all bowed their heads and stood solemnly, although Ghost Li has not killed indiscriminately over the years, but he has practiced the Demon Dao, his temperament has changed greatly, and his body often involuntarily exudes a sense of coldness, in addition to the sect master Ghost King, the person who other ordinary disciples are most feared by other ordinary disciples is him, a rising star.

At this time, a person came out of the crowd, it was a young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome, it was Yan Hui.

I saw him step forward, salute the ghost, and say, "Deputy Sect Master, you're back." ”

Ghost Li nodded and said, "What's going on here?"

Yan Hui wanted to speak and stopped, signaled the ghost with his eyes, and the ghost understood and walked forward. Yan Hui glanced around and said loudly: "The deputy sect master is back, everyone stick to their posts, don't panic." ”

The crowd responded in unison, and then dispersed.

Yan Hui quickly followed the ghost and said in a low voice, "You come with me." ”

With that, he strode towards the remote place on the right. The two of them walked for a while, and came to a place where the grass was thick, and the weeds were more than half a person high, and although there was no one around, the smell of blood in the air was getting heavier and heavier.

Ghost Li looked at Yan Hui, Yan Hui's face was also slightly pale, and he said in a low voice, "See for yourself!" As he spoke, he walked over to the grass and stretched out his hand to remove the weeds.

Ghost Li stepped forward slowly, looked into the grass, and his face changed in an instant. I saw that the grass looked no different from the surroundings on the outside, but in the middle it was dyed bright red by human blood, and the smell of blood came to my nose, and I wanted to vomit when I smelled it. Under the thick grass, there were thirteen human bones, and the death was horrific, and almost everyone's body was shattered into several pieces.

Rao is ghost has been in the Demon Sect for many years, and he is used to seeing bloody storms, but this is the first time he has seen such cruel methods.

He closed his eyes, calmed down, and then regained his composure, and slowly stepped forward, taking a closer look at the bones.

Yan Hui followed behind him and said in a low voice: "These disciples were all arranged here to guard last night, this place is the farthest away from where our brigade is located, and it is the farthest eyeliner we deploy, and these people are also quite capable. Unexpectedly, last night, overnight, they were all slaughtered without a sound. ”

Ghost Li's face was gloomy, his eyes became cold, and he said slowly: "Who is the murderer?

Yan Hui didn't answer immediately, but said, "Deputy Sect Master, you come here to have a look." ”

Ghost Li glanced at him, only to see Yan Hui step over these horrible corpses and walk deeper into the grass. Deeper in the grass, there was a corpse, but the corpse of this man was relatively intact, with only one left hand missing.

The corners of Ghost Li's eyes twitched slightly, this person he knew, his name was Xu Chonghai, he was a figure with a high level of Taoism under him, and he didn't expect to die here.

I saw Yan Hui walking up to Xu Chonghai and said, "Look." ”

Ghost Li walked closer, looked underground, and saw that next to Xu Chonghai's head, the only remaining right hand drew two words on the mud floor:

Fish – weird.

The word "fish" is quite clear, but the second word "strange" is already confused, and it seems that Xu Chonghai is exhausted.

"Fish monster?" Ghost Li frowned.

Yan Hui nodded and said, "I don't know what this means, could it be that there are fish monsters and demons around here?" But after I found them today, I immediately searched around, but I didn't find any trace of fish monsters at all. ”

Ghost Li slowly turned around and walked out of the grass, and Yan Hui followed. The unpleasant smell in the air was still strong, but it seemed much fresher than in the grass bushes.

Ghost Li took a deep breath and suddenly said, "What about the Killing Monk! Why isn't he here?"

Yan Hui was silent for a moment, and said: "After he saw this scene in the morning, he jumped like thunder, and then he saw from Xu Chonghai's gestures that those mysterious fish monsters were heading south, so he chased them alone, and I didn't listen to him." And ......"

He stopped halfway through his speech.

Ghost Li glanced at him and said, "What?"

A trace of hatred flashed on Yan Hui's face, and he said, "Originally, Deputy Sect Master, you strictly ordered that we should not have a conflict with the Hehuan Sect and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect until you come back, but this morning's bloody case, I felt that I was afraid that it was the poisonous hand of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect or the Hehuan Sect, so I secretly took someone to their place to find out." If it was really them, they would naturally take revenge. ”

Ghost Li said lightly: "It happened suddenly, you are not wrong. And what happened after I went?"

Yan Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "This, it's a big surprise to me." The people and horses of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had suddenly withdrawn from Death Ze for some reason the day before, and the Hehuan Sect was ......" He looked at the ghost and said in a low voice: "It seems that the same thing happened with us, and more than 20 people died." ”

Ghost Li's face changed slightly, and he said, "Is there such a thing?"

Yan replied: "Yes, I personally investigated and came back." ”

Ghost Li was silent, and stood there, as if deep in thought.

Yan Hui didn't dare to disturb for a while, but after a long time, he still didn't speak, and couldn't help but whisper: "Deputy Sect Master, what should we do now?"

Ghost Li didn't answer Yan Hui's words directly, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to look at him and said, "Before I came back, did the Ghost King Sect Master come here?"

Yan Hui's face changed, then he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

A faint glint flashed in Ghost Li's eyes, and he said, "What did he say?"

Yan replied: "The sect master came with the two holy envoys of Qinglong and Vermilion Bird, and his old man came here to look at the situation, and his face was very ugly, but in the end he only said: 'All the affairs here are handled by the deputy sect master', and then he left with the two holy envoys." ”

Ghost Li's face was expressionless, and there was silence again. Yan Hui naturally didn't know that the relationship between the ghost king and the ghost Li had suddenly become a little delicate, so he had to watch him from the sidelines.

After a moment, Ghost Li nodded and said, "You handled this matter very well. Now that the matter of Death Ze has come to an end, from now on, you immediately lead your subordinates to leave here and return to Huqi Mountain. ”

Yan Hui nodded and said, "What about you, Deputy Sect Master?"

Ghost Li turned his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky, which looked white and flawless, who would have thought that how much bloody things would happen underneath it?

He said lightly: "Although the killing monk is a little impulsive, the tracking technique is unique. These fish monsters are of unknown origin, and they have killed my men, so I naturally want to track them down. ”

Yan Hui bowed his head slightly behind his back and said, "Yes." ”

Ghost Li nodded and said, "You go!"

After speaking, he gradually looked south, only to see that there was a vast sea of grass, and the wind passed through the dead water, and he didn't know what secrets were hidden.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious fish-headed monster who suddenly attacked Xiaohuan suddenly came to his mind a few days ago, when he was secretly meeting with Jin Zhu'er and Qin Wuyan......
