Zhang Xiaofan looked at the beads for a long time, and his breathing gradually calmed down, but except for seeing that Yan Sè's brightness was a little worse, he didn't see anything else, so he had to put it back on his chest. He looked at Tian Ling'er beside him, and saw that she was still unconscious, but her face was gradually bleeding, and her condition was much better.

He picked up the amber and looked at it carefully, this was the first time he looked at this treasure so closely, but he felt that the tentacles were soft and very comfortable, recalling the graceful posture of Tian Ling'er walking in the sky just now, and there was a burst of envy in his heart.

He looked at it for a while, and his hand was also compared to Tian Ling'er's painting, and he shouted: "Get up!"

Amber Zhu Aya is like a dead snake, ignoring it and not moving.

"Twitter", but the gray monkey on the side covered his belly with his hands, fell to the ground, and laughed nonstop.

Zhang Xiaofan glared at it, but just now he was through the tribulation with this monkey, and he didn't feel a little cordial, and any previous hostility was all gone. He made a grimace as he stuck out his tongue at the monkey, ignored it, and put Amber Zhu Aya next to Tian Ling'er, and then looked at the waterhole in the clearing.

It was a small pool, small in scope, with no source in sight, and it was probably formed by an underground spring. The water in the waterhole is turquoise, and from here it looks like it is not deep, and there is a gap in the west of the pool, from which the water flows out and merges into a small stream, which winds away.

In the waterhole zhōngyāng, there is a pile of rubble, of different sizes and shapes, revealing a small part on the water. In the midst of the rocks, there is a short black rod inserted obliquely, one foot above the water, and the rest is immersed in water, the whole body is jet black, I can't see what kind of material it is, it is very ugly.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't care, he only felt that this place was strange and abnormal, and it was better to leave early, but although Tian Ling'er beside him had calmed down, he was still unconscious, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. In contrast, the gray monkey was very jīng god, scratching his ears and cheeks, scratching itches and catching lice, and couldn't calm down for a moment, occasionally he even ran up to the woods, picked a few wild fruits out of nowhere, threw two to Zhang Xiaofan, and then sat on the ground with his butt and ate it with relish.

Zhang Xiaofan picked up the wild fruit and took a bite, but felt that it was sweet and juicy, and he couldn't help but be moved. He had been chasing all the way up the mountain in the early morning, and it was now nearly noon, and he had not eaten a drop of water, and he was already hungry. I ate one in two bites at the moment, and I was about to pick up the second one, but I suddenly shook my head again and gently put it next to Tian Ling'er.

The wild fruit went down, Zhang Xiaofan's hunger in his stomach decreased slightly, and the god of jīng was much better. He stood up and stretched, and looked around, but when he saw the ancient woods, the stream was murmuring, and the scenery was quite beautiful, who knew that it would be so strange.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and for a moment he only heard a few muffled sounds of "click", as if something was broken. He was taken aback, and quickly took out the bead from his chest, and was suddenly startled, only to see that the whole bead was full of green light, and the green energy inside was like a wolf and a tiger, desperately hitting the bead wall, and the "e" word mantra that stopped it became more and more fragile, more and more dim, and it was impossible to resist it.

How did Zhang Xiaofan know that this seemingly ordinary bead is actually the most ferocious thing that moves the world - "blood devouring beads". The origin of this bead is unknown, but there is a strange and special xìng, and it is addicted to eating the blood of living beings, if there is a living thing close to it, it will be sucked up by this "blood devouring bead" and die in a moment, leaving only a skin, which is really a terrifying evil thing. More than 1,000 years ago, this pearl was obtained by the Demon Sect elder Black-hearted Old Man, because of its ability to absorb jīng blood erosion and refine it into a magic weapon, for a time invincible, I don't know how many righteous people were killed, and his reputation was shocked, and then it became one of the four treasures of the Demon Sect. After the death of the black-hearted old man, this pearl disappeared and was never found.

Tianyin Temple Puzhi monk by chance, in the western swamp 30 years ago accidentally found this fierce pearl, at that time within a radius of ten miles, white bones, there is no living thing, can be said to be a living soul, resentment to the sky. The heart of universal wisdom and compassion was greatly moved, so it was put away with Buddhism, and then every night it was implemented on the Buddhist secret method of subduing demons, deterring evil power, and never stopped for 30 years, and hung in parallel with the treasure of Buddhism "Jade Prayer Beads", with its pure air to resist the evil thoughts of devouring blood, and finally suppressed this fierce spirit, tightly bound in the beads, and could not see the sky under the layers of Buddha power.

Unexpectedly, in the battle of Caomiao Village, Pu Zhi was hit hard by the mysterious man in black, almost running out of oil, although the man in black was also injured and fled, but Pu Zhi knew that he was not injured at all, and expected that he would be determined to win the "blood devouring bead", and he could only prolong the life of the three rì after taking the "three rì death pills", and under a thought, he was in danger, handed over the blood devouring bead to Zhang Xiaofan, and told him not to show it in front of people, and he left the deep valley cliff when he was empty, although he may hurt some innocent creatures, but it is much better than falling into the hands of the demon.

It's just that Pu Zhi never thought that Zhang Xiaofan thought of his kindness and actually left this murderous thing as a souvenir. This "blood devouring bead" lost the general wisdom to suppress the Buddhism**, and there was no jade rosary pure qi to resist, and the fierce spirit qi began to gradually erode the ban. But Tianyin Temple's demon subduing ** is not idle, although the heavy prohibition has lost its owner, it has always been loyal to its duties, and this fierce spirit has been deterred for three years. It's just that the time has been long, and after all, it can't be resisted, and gradually it is powerless, so today, it seems that it is about to be broken out by the blood-devouring pearl, which will bring disaster to the world.

Although Zhang Xiaofan didn't know about these many twists and turns, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong in his heart. In the battle of the Grass Temple, when Pu Zhi fought with the man in black, the "e" word mantra appeared many times, and although he was young, he remembered it very deeply. At this moment, seeing that the situation of the mantra on the bead was becoming more and more critical, he was anxious in his heart, and with a ruthless heart, he clenched his palm and grabbed the bead, and carried his little bit of "Dafa Prajna" and injected it into the bead.

The two were originally of the same origin, and the "e" mantra on the blood-devouring bead actually brightened up a lot, but before Zhang Xiaofan could show a smile, it was dim again in an instant, and at the same time, a cold breath invaded his body, and half of Zhang Xiaofan's body became numb in a moment.

The gray monkey next to him suddenly saw Zhang Xiaofan's face showing pain, his face was full of greenness, and he screamed twice with a "squeak", quite anxious. But Zhang Xiaofan didn't care much about it, and only felt that all the jīng blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, all in the direction of the strange beads on his right hand. And the Great Brahma in his body collapsed at the touch of a button, and he was not the opponent of the cold qi at all, and at this time, the meridians of his whole body spasmed and suffered from severe pain.

He couldn't bear it anymore, staggered a few steps, stepped back, and suddenly his whole body shook again, and a familiar nausea feeling actually returned, rushing straight to the five internal organs, but he accidentally strayed into the open space again, but at this moment, there was no longer that warm air to resist.

The gray monkey was in a hurry, "squeaking" and squeaking, but he didn't dare to step into the open space again under any circumstances.

Zhang Xiaofan was overwhelmed and at a loss, but he felt that there were cold and hot bursts in his body, like ten thousand ants gnawing and vomiting, but he was disgusting, and he was really worse than dead. He stumbled forward, unaware that he had gone in the wrong direction, and felt that all his strength was gradually disappearing.

His whole body was shaking, his hands and feet were weak, his feet were weak, and he was already paralyzed on the ground. At this time, he had already walked to the edge of the waterhole, he used his last bit of strength, transported the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, reluctantly attracted some heaven and earth aura into the body, and then turned into the Great Brahma Prajna in the body, and actually relieved the pain a little, but only after a while, it had already turned into nothing, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't take care of it so much at this time, and he tried his best to do it, and he could relax for a point. It's just that the cold breath is too powerful, and there is a strange nausea feeling, which almost turned his internal organs over and rushed straight to his brain. Venus flashed in front of him, his breathing was disordered, and suddenly there was a sweet "wow" in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost fainted.

At this moment, I only heard a muffled sound, and in an instant, it seemed that the sky had darkened, the green light on the blood-devouring beads was released, and the entire beads were green, and a faint golden light flashed, and the "e" word mantra of Buddhism was completely shattered, and Zhang Xiaofan's whole body was immediately covered with green energy, like a bloodthirsty demon, and he was reborn again.

However, the strange thing is not over, almost at the same time that the green qi is so heavy that it is zìyóu, there is a loud noise, from the middle of the pool, and suddenly the wind and clouds surge, and the gravel in the pool rushes out to the surroundings, banging and banging. The turquoise pool suddenly waves, and it turns sharply around the center, becoming a large whirlpool. And in the whirlpool, in the gap of the water splash, a thing slowly arose, black steaming, it was the black short stick, two feet long, neither gold nor iron, a fierce breath, rushing to the face.

Zhang Xiaofan screamed and fell backwards, the blood-devouring beads seemed to stick to the palm of his hand, and he couldn't shake them off, and he faintly saw that a faint blood was slowly injected into the beads from Zhang Xiaofan's body.

A whistling, in the sound of water waves, the black short stick suddenly rushed out, rushing towards the blue light flickering blood devouring beads, a moment later there was a loud bang, two big murderous things collided together, Zhang Xiaofan was like a huge shock, the whole person was shaken upwards more than a zhang high, and the open space under him was also hit by this force out of a big hole.

Zhang Xiaofan fell back to the ground, bleeding and dizzy, but the pain in his body seemed to be lighter. He only felt that his eyes were blood-red, but his eyes were bleeding, and he wiped his eyes with his hands, only to see that the strange black rod smashed on the blood-devouring beads, and the black qi was endless, attacking forward. And the blood-devouring beads seemed to have a spirit, knowing that it was a great enemy, he withdrew his green qi and resisted with all his might, and the two sides could not hold each other, and the cold qi and nausea on Zhang Xiaofan's body gradually receded.

Zhang Xiaofan gasped, frightened, and subconsciously shook his hand, but the two strange things seemed to be part of his palm, and they couldn't shake them off, and they were still fighting.

Zhang Xiaofan was scared in his heart, he just wanted to get as far away as possible from these two strange things, he tried his best to get up, and before he could take a step, he only felt dizzy in his head, the whole person swayed, his feet were weak, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground again. The blue beads and black rods in front of him were entangled, and they were fighting happily, but the black gas was steaming, and it seemed to have the upper hand.

Only a moment later, sure enough, he saw the black qi invade in a big way, and the green light was retreating, as if he was powerless to resist, at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, and at a glance, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. But seeing that in the palm of his hand, in a circle around the attachment of the blood-devouring beads, the red blood seeped out of the skin, and it was endless, gradually converging into a large blood droplet.

Zhang Xiaofan's whole body trembled, and his face was full of blood, and correspondingly, the blood-devouring beads were bathed in blood droplets, and he suddenly became green and vigorous, and counterattacked vigorously, not only reversing the situation, but also gradually overpowering the black qi.

As more and more blood oozed from his hands, Zhang Xiaofan gradually lost consciousness. The bright red blood poured up, and gradually flowed to the interface between the black short rod and the blood-devouring bead, and then it no longer flowed, allowing the blue light and black qi to fight non-stop, and after a while, it seeped in here, and gradually dyed the part of the top of the rod that touched the bead into a red sè.

A faint smell of blood wafted through the air.

As time passed, the red sè became deeper and deeper, and then it was almost vivid, and somehow, the blue and black qi that was originally entangled dimmed, and from the original appearance of rejecting the fight, it gradually turned into a fusion trend.

I don't know how long it took, this strange change finally came to an end, the black rod and green beads completely lost their brilliance, merged with each other, and with a "click", they fell from Zhang Xiaofan's hand in a coma and fell to the ground.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, Little Senior Brother......" A stack of anxious calls echoed in Zhang Xiaofan's ears.

His mind was in chaos, and he only felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he had exhausted all his strength even to open his eyes. Tian Ling'er's anxious face with a hint of panic, seemed to be far and near, and slowly became clear in front of him, he moved his lips and called in a low voice: "Senior sister." ”

Tian Ling'er was overjoyed and said, "Xiaofan, are you awake?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said, "I'm fine, senior sister." ”

Tian Ling'er helped him sit up, Zhang Xiaofan looked at his palm at first glance, but saw that the skin of his right palm was not damaged at all, except for a little pale. He was stunned for a moment, but he clearly remembered in his heart that a large patch of blood had gushed out of his palm just now, but why was there not even a trace of it?

Was that a nightmare?

"Xiao Fan. Tian Ling'er was stunned when she saw him sit up, and she was a little worried in her heart, so she pushed him.

Zhang Xiaofan woke up and was about to tell her about the strange thing just now, but he didn't know where to start for a while, and he felt that this matter was too grotesque, even he was shocked, he was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "No, nothing, senior sister." ”

Tian Ling'er was relieved at this time, after she woke up, she saw that it was too late, she was lying under a big pine tree, but her junior brother fell on the open space in the distance, not waking up. She was scared in her heart, and hurriedly ran to Zhang Xiaofan's side, but fortunately woke him up after a while.

At this time, Tian Ling'er looked around and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Senior brother, there seems to be a lot of weirdness here, let's leave here as soon as possible, and wait until I call my mother to come over and have a look." ”

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, and was about to get up, when suddenly he had severe pain all over his body, dizziness, and if it wasn't for Tian Ling'er's hands to hold on, he would almost fall down again.

Tian Ling'er saw that his face was extremely pale, and he couldn't even see a trace of blood, so he was really worried in his heart, and carefully helped him up at the moment, Zhang Xiaofan calmed down, looked at his body again, and didn't see any wounds, so he said: "Senior sister, I'm just a little dizzy, it's not a big deal." ”

Tian Ling'er took a closer look, it was true, nodded and said, "Then let's go back quickly, it's getting dark, I'm afraid that my father, mother and all the senior brothers are worried." ”

Zhang Xiaofan said: "Yes." ”

Tian Ling'er took a deep breath, checked all over her body and found nothing abnormal, muttering in her heart how she could faint for no reason. With a gesture, the red light flashed, and the "Amber Zhu Aya" roared out with a roar.

Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan were just about to go up, when they suddenly heard a "squeak" sound on the side, and the two turned their heads to look, but it was the gray-haired monkey who was standing next to them at some point, smiling at them, and dragging a black whirring two feet long in his hand, I don't know what material it was.

※※※

In front of the Dazhufeng Meditation Hall, Tian Buyi paced back and forth, his brows furrowed, and there was a slight anxiety on his face. Early this morning, my daughter and the seven apprentices who were not able to go up to the back mountain to cut bamboo and play, but I didn't see anyone back when it was dark today. Su Ru went out early in the morning to look for it, and now the disciples have also been sent by him one after another, but there is no trace of Dazhu Peak, and the surrounding mountains are undulating and densely forested, and it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack to find two people.

He was anxious, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the sky in the air, Tian Buyi looked up, but it was Su Ru who came back with two little ghosts. Seeing the appearance of Tian Ling'er and the two is not a big deal, but there is still a gray-haired monkey lying on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, and he doesn't know where he came from.

Tian Buyi relieved his heart at this time, but the anger on his face did not retreat at all. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the master twice, his heart was furious, he didn't dare to move, he lowered his head to his chest, but the gray monkey was very naughty, and he reached into Zhang Xiaofan's hair and scratched it for a while, as if he wanted to find a few lice from there.

Tian Ling'er put away the amber Zhu Aya, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw her father standing in front of the hall with an angry face, her eyes rolled a few times, her smile was like a flower, she was very innocent and cute, she ran to Tian Buyi's side and took his hand and said, "Dad, we're back." ”

Tian Buyi snorted and said, "Where did you go?"

Tian Ling'er said with a smile: "Xiao Fan was bullied by a monkey when he was chopping bamboo, I went to catch it to help Xiao Fan get angry, yes, it's that monkey." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Zhang Xiaofan.

The gray monkey on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder was startled, and he "squeaked" twice at this side, making an angry appearance, then scratched his head, and paid attention to Zhang Xiaofan's hair again.

Tian Ling'er grimaced at it, and immediately said that he had chased all the way, and said, "...... Later, when I chased to the valley, I suddenly felt nauseous, and somehow fainted, and when I woke up, I saw Xiaofan also lying on the ground, unconscious. But fortunately, we were not injured, and when we were about to come back, I saw that the monkey seemed to be very attached to Xiaofan, so I brought it back as well. ”

Tian Buyi frowned, turned to his wife, and said, "What's the matter?"

Su Ru shook her head and said, "When I found the two of them in the back mountain, I went down to check them, and there was nothing abnormal. I think it's probably because Ling'er's cultivation is not enough, and he insists on taking Xiaofan and the two of them to ride the amber and Zhu Aya in the sky, and finally lose their strength. ”

Tian Ling'er said coquettishly: "Mother, what are you talking about, where will I not practice enough." Xiaofan, did you say?"

Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Tian Buyi glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, and said coldly: "As a disciple of Qingyunmen, I was actually bullied by a monkey and spread it, and my face will be lost by you." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's face turned red, he didn't dare to say anything, and lowered his head.

Su Ru walked over, took Tian Ling'er's hand, and said softly, "I haven't eaten for a day, are you hungry?"

Tian Ling'er stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I'm so hungry, mother!"

Su Ru glared at her, pulled her towards the kitchen, and said, "People are big ghosts!"

Zhang Xiaofan also felt hungry at the moment, but in front of Tian Buyi, how dare he move, listening to Su Ru and Tian Ling'er went far away, but the master did not move, secretly raised his eyes, but saw that the front of the hall was empty, Tian Buyi didn't know when he left, it is estimated that in his heart, he also scolded this idiot apprentice and felt that it was a waste of energy.

Zhang Xiaofan was at a loss for a while, stood for a long time, and only turned around until the thunder in his abdomen, but subconsciously did not want to walk to the kitchen, but walked towards his room.

When he returned to the room and closed the door, the gray monkey looked left and right on his shoulder, and squeaked, as if he knew that he was home, jumped off his shoulder, jumped on the bed in three steps and two times, fluttered and jumped, and grabbed the pillow and threw it around, which was very happy.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the gray monkey, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile, but he was immediately overwhelmed by hunger, he sat down at the table, poured a cup of cold overnight water that had already been cold from the teapot, and drank it.

A chill penetrates the heart.

He sat there for a moment, then reached out and pulled something out of his bosom, it was the ugly short stick. At this moment, the bead that Pu Zhi gave him was tightly connected to the unknown short rod, and even Yan Sè turned into Xuanqing Sè together, black whirring, and at the interface, it was dark red, as if it had coagulated blood, not only ugly, but also a little disgusting.

He looked at it for a long time, suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his hand vigorously, and threw the short stick against the wall, and the short stick hit the wall, and with a loud noise, it fell down again, and landed in a corner of the house.

The gray monkey was startled, looked up at Zhang Xiaofan, and didn't know why he lost his temper. Zhang Xiaofan sighed, took off his shoes and went to bed, covered his head with a quilt and fell asleep. The monkey touched his head, not knowing why.

This night, Zhang Xiaofan tossed and turned, hungry and unbearable, until late at night, before he fell asleep in a daze.
