Chapter 5: Merit

The wind blew more and more violently, and the clothes of the two of them, the ghost and the golden bottle, made a hunting sound. They stood at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, watching as huge and strangely shaped fierce spirits gradually appeared in front of them.

The eyes the size of a copper bell suddenly opened in the white air, and there was a faint blood-red light shining through, and the huge figure of the fierce spirit shrouded over, and his gaze fell on the two mortals standing under him.

"Who dares to come here?"

The voice of the fierce spirit suddenly rang out, majestic and deafening, as if the surrounding mountain walls were shaken.

However, after a while, the fierce spirit seemed to have discovered something, and was stunned for a moment, but his eyes turned to the golden bottle standing a little behind the ghost Li: "It's you again?"

Jin Bei'er smiled slightly, coquettish, and said, "Yes! It's me, we meet again." ”

The fierce spirit roared angrily, and his voice echoed far away, as if his howl echoed far away in the deep ancient cave behind him: "Why are you here again, don't you think it was enough to disturb the statue of Niangniang last time?"

Jin Bei'er was thinking about how to deal with this fierce spirit, and judging from the current situation, this fierce spirit guarding the Demon Ancient Cave was definitely not easy to deal with. It's just that she thinks about it in her heart, but her face is still smiling.

Jin Bei'er was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a ghost beside him say: "Can you follow the Linglong witch back then and go deep into the black tiger among the seven heroes of the southern Xinjiang of the 100,000 mountains?"

Jin Bei'er was stunned, and turned to look at Ghost Li, but saw Ghost Li's face indifferent, looking at the huge figure of the fierce spirit.

Almost at the same time as the ghost asked this, the fierce spirit was also involuntarily stunned for a moment, as if the name "Black Tiger" hit him like a heavy punch somewhere deep in his heart.

Even if you become a fierce ghost, even if you are abandoned by the world, and you have been waiting alone for thousands of years, you still have some memories hidden deep in your heart......

"You...... Who is it?" the fierce voice seemed to suddenly become hoarse, and the scene that appeared at the right time completely changed.

Ghost Li looked at the voice surrounded by yīn Sen's ghostly energy, his eyes flashed with a complicated and incomprehensible light, and said slowly: "Among the seven people who followed Linglong Witch back then, five people went back in the end, and then established the five clans of the southern Xinjiang of today's rì. There are still two left, and they are the two brothers who have followed Linglong Witch for the longest time, Black Tiger and Black Wood, but they have not returned. According to the ancient legend of the Wu clan, the eldest brother Black Tiger is loyal and brave, and the second brother Black Wood is stoic and persistent, I see that you are very respectful to this statue, you have been tenacious for thousands of years, and you have become a fierce spirit without regrets, so I guess you are a black tiger, right?"

The fierce spirit was silent for a long time, staring at the ghost, and the ghost was under that fierce gaze, but there was no fear at all, and he looked at it.

Slowly, the white ghost qi around the fierce spirit slowly surged, and the blood-red sè in the eyes of the fierce spirit became stronger and thicker, and even at the entrance of this demon suppression ancient cave, which was already bitterly cold, the temperature seemed to be getting colder and colder.

The monkey Xiao Ash, who was lying on the shoulders of the ghost, also seemed to be a little uneasy, and called twice in a low voice.

"Who are you to know about the past of the Wu Clan?" the fierce spirit's originally angry voice seemed to change suddenly, and there was an indescribable coldness in his tone.

Ghost Li didn't seem to feel anything, just looked at the huge yīn shadow, and said: "Most people in the world can't remember what happened too long ago, but there will still be legends after all, which will be passed down bit by bit." ”

He looked at the fierce spirit and said word by word: "In the southern Xinjiang of today, the descendants of the Wu clan, there are still people who remember you!"

The demon's eyes were closed, and he never opened them for a long time.

Jin Bei'er stood behind, her brows furrowed slightly, she looked at the fierce spirit, and then looked at the ghost Li beside her, she didn't know anything about these so-called legends such as the Linglong statue of the ancient witch clan, but looking at the reaction of the fierce spirit, it was obvious that what the ghost said was the truth. She had always thought that no one in the Demon Sect knew more about all kinds of strange things in these 100,000 mountains than her, but unexpectedly, this ghost seemed to have hidden things that no one knew.

She looked at the man's figure, her heart was slightly awe-inspiring, but her gaze seemed to be even colder.

For a long time, the yīn wind was still blowing coldly. Above the head, the black clouds were surging silently, the cold wind was bleak, and the scene was bleak.

In this silence, suddenly, the fierce spirit black tiger suddenly raised its head, looked up to the sky and roared, the voice was terrible, as if there were countless vicissitudes of the past, in this roar. When the howling sound was still faintly echoing in the distant mountains, he had already turned around, and the rumbling sound seemed to be the excitement of feelings, but it was suppressed after all.

"Thank you!"

The fierce spirit stared at the ghost for a long time, and suddenly lowered its head slightly, and said so.

Ghost Li was expressionless, and slowly took half a step back, closing his eyes and bowing slightly, which was regarded as a return of the courtesy.

The fierce spirit nodded, his tone had gradually calmed down, and said, "I can't imagine that there are still people in this world who remember Niangniang and us, hey, but when we followed the witch Niangniang into these 100,000 mountains, where did we think of anything through the ages?"

The eyes of the fierce spirit slowly turned to the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, on top of the statue of the Linglong Witch Goddess who was standing, his eyes instantly became gentle, and even his voice seemed to be much lighter: "But you came here, you must not have come here to say these words to me, a person who is not a human being, a ghost or a ghost, right?"

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes, before I came here, although I had heard the legend of the Linglong Witch and the seven of you, I didn't know your current situation, nor did I know that you would be here......

He raised his head, looked at the fierce spirit, and said slowly, "I came here for the beast god in this cave. ”

The huge figure of the fierce spirit was shocked, and the name seemed to be terrifying even to him.

It's just that the gaze of the fierce spirit did not come, but it still stayed on the statue and said, "What are you looking for him?"

Ghost Li said lightly: "We have to find him and then kill him." ”

The fierce spirit turned his head suddenly, stared at the ghost, and said slowly, "Just the two of you?"

Ghost Li nodded slowly and said, "Yes." ”

The speed of the white ghost qi around the fierce spirit seemed to be suddenly faster, and it seemed that his figure was also a little blurred, and for a while, I only heard him say coldly: "Yes, the beast god is indeed in this demon suppression ancient cave." ”

Jin Bei'er's body shook, and her face couldn't help but pass a trace of joy. Ghost Li didn't have much joy on his face, still looking at the fierce spirit.

The fierce spirit was also looking at him, and suddenly said, "I see your clothes, you shouldn't be from the Southern Territory, you should be from Middle Earth, right?"

Ghost Li nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The fierce spirit pondered for a moment, and in his ghostly aura, he seemed to see his expression change, and said, "Do you know why I guarded the entrance of this cave?"

The ghost said: "I don't know. ”

The fierce spirit said: "Naturally, I am here to protect the statue of Niangniang, but in addition, I am guarding here, firstly, I will not allow external forces to resurrect this demon, and secondly, I will not let ignorant people enter and send them to death, do you understand?"

Ghost Li nodded.

The fierce spirit smiled miserably and said, "But after all, I still lived up to the trust of my mother back then, and I was ...... was deceived by that beast, made a big mistake, the demon was resurrected, and the living beings in the world were ruined......" After saying this, his voice gradually lowered, and then, the fierce spirit seemed to settle down, and said: "I was already desperate, and I thought that no one in the world could stop this demon from harming the common people, but in the previous paragraph, he was seriously injured and returned, and there were outstanding people in Middle-earth, and there were still masters who could hit him hard, which was really beyond my expectations." ”

The corners of Ghost Li's eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly sneered, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, although the beast god is defeated, the person who defeats him may not be better!"

The fierce spirit was slightly stunned, not knowing what the ghost meant, but he didn't bother to delve into it at the moment, and said: "It is naturally best to get rid of this demon, I have had this heart for thousands of years, and I only hate that even if he has not yet woken up, I can't help him." You are from Middle-earth, and you may be able to do it. If it succeeds......"

The evil spirit was surrounded by a ghostly aura, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "I should thank you here for my mother!"

With that, he slowly moved his body and made way of a path, revealing the deep and bottomless ancient cave behind him.

Ghost Li glared into the depths of the cavern, then turned away and took a deep look at the fierce spirit, which was also staring at him.

Ghost Li nodded slowly, didn't say anything more, and slowly walked in. When passing by the fierce spirit, the monkey Xiao Gray lying on his shoulder suddenly raised his head, and looked at the huge body of the fierce spirit with some curiosity, and his three eyes did not blink.

The fierce spirit suddenly shouted at the ghost's back, "There is one more thing, you have to be careful. When the beast god does not come back alone, in addition to the evil beast gluttony beside him, there is also a demon who is extremely high, you must be careful. ”

Ghost Li paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the thirteen demon beasts under his command have all been wiped out. ”

The fierce spirit shook his head and said, "It's not one of the thirteen demon beasts, even I have never seen that demon before this, you must be careful." ”

Ghost Li nodded slowly and continued to walk towards the depths of the ancient cave.

Subsequently, the golden bottle also slowly followed, and the figures of the two and a monkey slowly dissolved into the darkness, swaying forward in the depths of the yīn shadow, slowly, but finally they could no longer be seen.

The demonic spirit's body was gradually blurred, but his huge eyes kept staring at the darkness deep in the cave. Suddenly, he let out a roar like thunder towards the deepest dark place, and the wild cry burst out like a torrent of mountains and seas, and even the cold wind actually flowed back for it, and the extremely hard rock wall roared like the sky and the earth cracked!

In that roar, the huge body of the fierce spirit slowly disappeared into the darkness......

It's just that at the same time as the fierce spirit disappeared, he didn't notice that outside the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, behind the statue of the god, a black figure faintly flashed, it was when Rì instigated the civil strife of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang, snatched back the holy weapon of the five tribes, and resurrected the black wood of the beast god.

The black and wide robe enveloped Hei Mu's whole body like a rì, exuding a cold aura, but in his eyes, there was an extremely complicated gaze, looking at the depths of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave. When the fierce spirit, who was also his former eldest brother, disappeared, he slowly withdrew his gaze, but again, it landed on the statue of the delicate witch beside him.

In the wind, he seemed to be whispering: "Niangniang......"

At the same time, in the distance of the Jiaohei Mountain Peak where the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave was located, under the vast black forest, a team of more than a dozen people slowly walked out. The first person was dressed in white like snow, a woman with a beautiful face, a blue sè Tianya fairy sword in her hand, her face was like frost, but there seemed to be a bit of indescribable sorrow and vicissitudes in her eyes, silently, looking at the scorched black mountain peak in the distance......

Middle Earth, thirty miles outside the city of Heyang.

On the avenue, after so long, most of the refugees who fled have returned to their hometowns in the south, which is not far from the foot of Qingyun Mountain, but you can still see the ragged people trekking hard from time to time. However, there have been more small traders and vendors in the meantime, and I don't know how much better it was than it was when the catastrophe happened a few months ago.

"Immortal pointing, look at your half-life......" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out on the road, breaking the silence here, and it seemed very harsh.

"Fortune, official fortune, marriage, whereabouts, feng shui, physiognomy, word measurement, bone touching, omniscient, all-encompassing, come and come, a person only needs five taels ......of silver!

Zhou Zhou Xian held the signboard bamboo pole of "Immortal Guidance", strode over, shouting all the way, and passers-by all looked sideways.

The Wild Dog Daoist who followed him did not speak, and carried all his luggage as usual.

However, the small ring behind him seemed to be stunned for a moment, and raised his head from a book with a black cover without words in his hand that he had been watching carefully all the way, and said a little stunned: "Grandpa, what did you just say, how many taels of silver a piece?"

Zhou Zhou Xian turned his head, smiled, and stretched out five fingers like an immortal descending from the sky, and said solemnly: "Five taels of silver." ”

Xiaohuan frowned, and said: "But yesterday you only called three taels of silver! Also, what happened to you these days, before the three rì, we were still the same as to the rì, each guest who looked at the appearance charged five taels of silver, but you are good, these rì you jumped and went up, the five coins rose to one tael, after one rì became two taels, the day before it became three taels, today is good, you just called five taels directly......

Xiaohuan walked to Zhou Xian's side, looked Zhou Zhou Xian up and down carefully, Zhou Zhou Xian was a little hairy by her, took a step back and coughed, and said, "What are you looking at little girl?"

Xiaohuan ignored him, but reached out to Zhou Zhou Xian's forehead, Zhou Zhou Xian was startled, took a step back and let go, and said, "What are you doing in the gods?"

Xiaohuan snorted and said, "You are the one who is a god and a god! I want to see if you have a fever and your brain is burning!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to the wild dog Taoist who was following behind her and asked, "Daoist, do you say that my grandfather has been a little confused recently?"

Because it was Bai Rì at this time, the wild dog Taoist had a strip of cloth around his face as usual, but his two eyes were shining and very bright, and he was asked by Xiaohuan at this moment, he laughed twice, and then immediately nodded and said: "He, uh, I mean the seniors are old, and it is inevitable that there will be some ......."

"Fart!"

Zhou Xian jumped up in front of him, furious.

Xiaohuan glanced at him and said, "Grandpa, what are you doing so excited, I think what the Taoist chief said is very reasonable, looking at the way you have been in the past few days, I'm afraid that you are really a little confused." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian seemed to be particularly unable to hear the word "old fool", and he was even more annoyed, and said angrily: "What do you two guys know, how old are you, how many people do you know, I am not ......"

Xiaohuan hurriedly said: "Yes, then tell me, why are you trying to raise the price?"

Zhou Zhou Xian snorted, waved the bamboo pole in his hand to guide the way, pointed to the pedestrians around him, and said, "Look at these people, and the people we met along the way, are they all fleeing people?"

Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is, including us." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian suffocated for a moment, his old face flushed slightly, and then he acted as if he hadn't heard it.

Xiaohuan said again: "Since they are all refugees and have left their hometowns, I don't think there are many people who think about seeing such a thing, I was still thinking about whether the price should be reduced, but grandpa, you are good, and you are trying your best to raise the price." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian put his hands behind his back, put the bamboo pole behind his back, and sneered: "According to what you say, I was wrong, but look at these few rì, are there fewer or more people looking for us?"

Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment and frowned, but the wild dog Taoist interjected next to him and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that there are indeed more people who look at each other!"

Zhou Zhou Xian snorted again, with a smug look on his face, and said to Xiaohuan: "What can you know at your young age? But this time it is very different, the catastrophe is so great, it is rare for 10,000 years, the whole world is in misery, everyone is in danger, and no one knows whether they will still be alive? Under this vision, with me, like an immortal, to guide them, is it not that everyone flocks to them?"

Xiaohuan lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head and sighed, but there was a trace of confusion on his face.

The wild dog Taoist was still a little confused, and couldn't help but say, "Then why do you keep raising the price code?"

Zhou Zhou Immortal Monster rolled his eyes and said, "How can I teach you such advanced knowledge!"

The wild dog Taoist touched a nail and shrank back, but he only heard Xiaohuan sigh beside him and said, "I understand this a little bit now." ”

The Wild Dog Daoist and Zhou Zhou Xian were both taken aback, and Zhou Zhou Xian said, "Oh, you can tell me about it?"

Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It's just that you expect that everyone in the world is panicked and careless about their own lives, and how many people pity their belongings...... I didn't believe in these things, I thought that such a little trick would be seen by idiots, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly, there are still so many people who can't see it. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "You're wrong, Xiaohuan." ”

Xiaohuan was stunned and said, "What?"

Zhou Zhou Xian said: "You said it right before, it's just the last sentence, but it's not that they can't see it, it's just that they can't see it." ”

The Wild Dog Daoist listened confusedly and said, "What can't you see?"

Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at the people who were staggering around him, and said: "The people in the world, how can they be all stupid, but at the moment of life and death, I don't know how many people refuse to believe in themselves, and would rather listen to the comfort of others." I gave them guidance, and most of what I said was about the second half of my life, which would be much better than the situation I am in now. With this, they paid two taels of silver, and they were relieved. ”

Xiaohuan suddenly said: "Grandpa, did you really say it from physiognomy, or did you say it nonsense to them?"

Zhou Zhou Xian smiled slightly and said, "I'm talking nonsense." ”

Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist glanced at each other, and they were speechless for a while.

Zhou Zhou Xian looked up at the sky, looked at the long sky, stared at it for a long time, and said leisurely: "Such a catastrophe, but one is indispensable, otherwise the way of heaven will not allow it." ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and smiled: "In this case, this future rìzi is naturally much better than the rìzi who does not know life and death now, and I am not a lie and deceive! On the contrary, the old man came all the way and comforted and advised countless displaced people, not to mention how many people have been reborn and resurrected under the words of the old man.

He stretched out his hand and patted Xiaohuan's head, with a fairy face, righteous and awe-inspiring, with the old man's compassion for the world and the feelings of saving the world, and the tragedy of going to hell alone to save the common people, it is to receive this lot of white flowers, and it is also where the righteousness lies.

He then sighed: "Life, it's really lonely......"

......

There was no sound for a while, but there was silence all around.

Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, retracted his gaze from the sky, and looked around.

......

"Hey, you two, what are you doing so fast......"
