Chapter 33: Ten Thousand Bats
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and recognized that this person was the beautiful girl who was arguing about the fish at dinner, and at this moment saw that she was still wearing that set of water-green clothes, and her skin was like snow in the moonlight, beautiful and unparalleled, like a fairy.

The girl put the freshly broken flower to the end of her nose and inhaled deeply, an expression of intoxication appeared on her face, and there was a thrilling beauty. And the flower seemed to be even more brilliant in front of her beautiful face.
It's just that Zhang Xiaofan burst out of his heart with a burst of nameless anger, frowned and said, "This flower is blooming so well, why did you break it?"
The green-clothed girl's bright eyes flowed, and her eyes swirled around Zhang Xiaofan like water, and she said lightly: "I picked this flower, which is the blessing of this flower; How can a layman like you know?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, the first time in his life that he heard such a ridiculous thing, he shook his head and said: "If this flower is broken off by you, even if you don't even have your life, how can you be happy?"
The girl in green glanced at him and said, "You're not a flower, how do you know it's not going to be happy?"
Zhang Xiaofan listened to this woman's unreasonable words, and he was even more angry in his heart, and said: "You are not a flower, how do you know that it will be happy, maybe this flower is in pain at the moment, ah, you see, there is water on the flower, maybe it is crying in pain." ”
The girl in green was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a while, she burst out laughing, and this time she was really as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming, almost making Zhang Xiaofan stunned.
"Tears, tears, it's the first time in my life that I've heard a big man say that dewdrops are tears of flowers, and I laughed to death."
Zhang Xiaofan's face was red, and he couldn't speak, but seeing that the girl was bent over with laughter, her face was feverish, and she forced herself to say, "That, what's the matter?"
I didn't want the girl to hear this and look at him, but the laughter was louder, and the crisp laughter echoed in this quiet and dark garden, adding a little warmth.
Zhang Xiaofan was angry, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak, looked at the woman with a happy smile, stomped her feet angrily, and turned to leave.
didn't take two steps, and suddenly heard the green-clothed girl behind her laugh, but there was still a little smile in her tone, and said, "Hey, you wait." ”
Zhang Xiaofan originally came out tonight, in a good mood, but after meeting this woman, the mood was very bad, and when he heard her call out at this moment, he felt irritable again, and couldn't help but turn around and said: "I don't call hey, who are you calling?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face immediately put away, and her gaze at Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be a little colder, and it seemed that few people had contradicted her like this. But after a moment, she seemed to think of something, and although she did not regain the bright smile she had just now, her tone was still gentle, and she said, "Oh, what are you called?"
Zhang Xiaofan rushed and said, "I called" suffocated, he snorted and said, "Why should I say it to you?"
The green-clothed girl's face was solemn, and she seemed to be a little angry, but when she saw Zhang Xiaofan's negative expression, she was like a little boy who was angry, and she couldn't help but laugh again.
This smile completely dispersed the momentum of her sinking face just now, lined with the moonlight in the sky, full of fragrance, this beautiful woman's face was full of smiles, as if she knew that this was not very good, she shook her head and was about to hold back, but she still laughed.
It seems that the innocence of a long time ago has come to life again tonight.
The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkled on her shoulders and face, reflecting the touching beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know when, he was stupid.
The girl laughed for a while, and when she found that Zhang Xiaofan was staring at her, she snorted, but she didn't blush like an ordinary daughter, but said directly: "Am I good-looking?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback by her, as if he had been caught as a thief, and felt embarrassed, but under the girl's soft eyes like water, there was a feeling that there was nowhere to escape: "I, you, you, look good!"
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable strange taste floated in his heart, but the girl didn't seem to care, with a faint smile on her face, and said: "I think too, from childhood to adulthood, who doesn't say that I am beautiful, you men, are all the same." ”
Listening to her tone, at a young age, it seems that she has gone through vicissitudes. Zhang Xiaofan rushed up angrily and was about to refute, but when he looked at it inadvertently, he saw that she had bright eyes and bright teeth, independent in the moonlight, and faintly familiar. He remembered the beautiful figure of his senior sister on Qingyun Mountain, by the blue water pool, and at that moment, he suddenly became happy, and he couldn't lift his spirits anymore, and glanced at the girl in green again, sighed lowly, didn't say a word, turned around and left.
"Hey," walked a few steps, but heard a cry behind him, Zhang Xiaofan frowned and turned around, looking at the girl in green.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her polished lips seemed to be pursed a little, as if thinking about something, but the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden.
"What's your name?" she asked, still asking, her shadow reflected in her eyes.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly flinched, and the anger just now dissipated in a moment, as if a little anger should not be felt in front of this figure. He avoided the soft gaze, and with a little cowardice that he himself was not at ease, he said: "Zhang Xiaofan." ”
Then he walked back quickly, and he looked like he was running away.
He strode with his head down, and had just reached a corner of the winding path, when he suddenly noticed a black figure in front of him, and in this dark garden, it was really difficult to find if he did not go closer.
He could barely hold his back, but fortunately his body was still reflexive, and he stopped in front of the man. In the darkness, a pair of bright but secluded eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
The two were too close to each other, Zhang Xiaofan was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, only to see that this person was the masked woman sitting next to the green-clothed girl at dinner. She was still veiled, but she had changed into a black silk dress, and in the night, she was almost like a ghost.
Zhang Xiaofan settled down, but he still had some wheezing, and he faintly smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, I don't know if it was the fragrance in this garden, or when he approached the woman just now.
His heart jumped, and he only felt that it was really wrong to come out tonight, and said vaguely at the moment: "I'm sorry." Then he walked past the masked woman and went to his lodgings.
From beginning to end, the masked woman didn't say a word, just stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on the young man. When Zhang Xiaofan walked past her, she slowly turned around and looked at his departing figure.
It was a long time when her figure almost merged with the darkness of the dark garden that she turned around and walked towards the depths of the garden. Soon, she saw the woman in green, still standing in place, playing with a folded flower in her hand.
The girl in green raised her head, did not look surprised, and smiled: "Aunt You, you are back." ”
The masked woman glanced at the flowers in her hand, her veil moved lightly, and she seemed to nod, and said, "Those four people are under the Qingyun Sect." Her voice echoed in the garden, deep and drifting, although soft, but with a bit of ghostly aura, "The leader is Qi Hao from the Longshou Peak lineage, the other three have never seen it, it seems that they are the younger generation, and they don't know their names." ”
The girl in green smiled slightly and said, "I know one, the person who just passed, is called Zhang Xiaofan, the name of Haotu." ”
The masked woman glanced at her and said lightly, "Baguio, I haven't seen you enjoy the flowers for a long time." ”
The girl in green, also known as Baguio, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the next moment, a smile appeared again on her beautiful face, and said, "Yes, Aunt You, it's been a long time." ”
She picked up the flower and looked at it again. Then, under the gaze of the masked woman, the girl in green smiled, but her hands clenched resolutely, crumpling the beautiful flower into pieces.
※※※
The next day, the four of Qingyunmen got up, and after freshening up, Qi Hao gathered the four of them and discussed: "Kongsang Mountain is three thousand miles away in the east, and the distance is not close, so we still need to hurry." The other three had no objection and set off.
The owner of Shanhaiyuan really admired Qingyunmen, and the originally expensive room price was actually discounted by 5%, almost the same as ordinary room money. Zhang Xiaofan watched Qi Hao laughing with the boss and settling accounts, but his eyes glanced around, but until he left, he didn't see the girl in green last night.
The four of them traveled in the air, and the 3,000-mile journey took ten days, during which Zhang Xiaofan naturally dragged his feet a lot, but in the next few days, Zhang Xiaofan's Taoism gradually became familiar, and he was even more familiar with the "burning stick", and he actually flew decently.
On this day, they finally arrived at Kongsang Mountain, everyone fell down the clouds, they were all taken aback, only to see that within a radius of 100 miles, a big mountain was steep and towering, but there were many rocks and little grass and trees, and there were no people under the mountain, and it was desolate.
At this time, it was almost dusk, the sun was sinking in the west, and the faint sunset shone on Kongsang Mountain, as if it was a little sluggish and a little terrifying. Everyone fell at the foot of the mountain and put away the magic weapon of the fairy sword. Qi Hao looked at the sky and said, "I don't see that there are no people to stay here, so let's go up the mountain immediately, and while looking for the 'Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave', we will see if there is a suitable place to rest for the night." ”
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Senior Brother Qi is reasonable, let's go up the mountain." Zhang Xiaofan saw that Zeng Shushu agreed, and he didn't have any opinions, Lu Xueqi looked at the sky and didn't say a word, but he was the first to walk to the top of the mountain.
Although this Kongsang Mountain is not as high as the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, it is not low, plus it is remote and precipitous, there is no way to find it, the four of them went up from the foot of the mountain, only walked to the mountainside, and the sky was completely dark.
The four of them walked to a fast platform, Qi Hao stopped everyone, and took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, and the three of them recognized this at a glance as the Qingyunmen treasure "Liuhe Mirror", and they were stunned for a while, not knowing what Qi Hao was going to do.
I saw Qi Hao holding the hexagram in his hand, reciting a few words of incantation in a low voice, the originally dim hexagram seemed to have a sense, and gradually lit up, and then floated up from Qi Hao's hand, staying two feet above his head, the light gradually increased, with a pale yellow halo illuminated a circle of about six feet around the four of them, protecting them in the center.
Qi Hao said at this time: "Eight hundred years ago, Kongsang Mountain was a place where demons and demons gathered, and I look at this mountain as desolate and weird, I am afraid that there are many mountain spirits and ghosts. The function of the hexagram mirror is to protect the owner, and we should also take precautions. ”
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the six-step mirror floating in the air, and saw that the small mirror did not seem to be amazing, but there was a rui qi hidden in the ancient clumsiness, which should not be underestimated. At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance, followed by the sound of "crackling and crackling", the sound gradually intensified, and in the end, not only became louder and louder, but also almost couldn't even hear the rhythm clearly, only the huge noise of "boom" echoed in this barren mountain range, in the distance, relying on a little light from the hexagram mirror in the dark, everyone saw that behind the mountain in the distance, Huo Ran raised a black cloud, which was even more strange in this darkness, and the boom sound was from there.
Everyone changed color, Zeng Shushu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly lost his voice and said: "Liuhe mirror!"
As soon as he spoke, before everyone could react, the black cloud that was getting bigger and bigger in the air had already felt something, and moved here, and after a while, it seemed that a piercing whistling whistle came from the black cloud, and in an instant, the black cloud turned around in unison, and rushed towards the four people, the only bit of light in the night.
In an instant, the night sky, which had been shining with stars, was pitch black, as if it was obscured by something. Everyone only felt that a fishy smell filled the surroundings in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Xiaofan and the others were all shocked. Only Qi Hao was still calm, but his face was also pale, and he said quickly: "Don't move, don't leave the aperture range of the hexagram." ”
After another moment, the roaring and rumbling sound was close to the ears, reflecting the light of the hexagram, and everyone finally saw the black cloud clearly, and it was countless black bats, densely packed, and looking at the figure, it was more than twice as big as the bats seen in the past, each of them opened their mouths wide, in the black, their mouths were scarlet, hideous and terrifying.
But the pale yellow light emitted by the hexagram showed its effect at this time, and I saw that all the bats were isolated from the aperture, and no matter how they hit and squeezed, the aperture did not move at all. On the contrary, near the aperture, the bat that touched the pale yellow light, its black body made a "zig" sound, and after a while, it fell to the ground, struggling, and saw that it could not live.
It's just that there are too many bats in this group, and as far as the eye can see, even the stars in the night sky are covered, and I am afraid that there are not millions of them. Those who died on the ground were afraid that they were less than one millionth of them, but seeing countless bats rushing forward one after another, the four of them were surrounded in the center, although there was nothing to do for the time being, but there were terrifying bloody mouths on the left and right, and the smell of the fish was almost disgusting.
However, after all, the Liuhe mirror is a Taoist treasure, under the attack of countless vicious beasts, there is no sign of fragility and shaking, the yellow aperture seems to be light and thin, but it stands like a mountain, and after a while, the bat corpses around the aperture are piled higher and higher.
At this moment, I don't know how many black bats are surrounded in the sky around this aperture, where are the three layers inside and the three layers outside, but I am afraid that it is three hundred layers inside and three hundred layers outside. But the brutes' impact on the aperture seemed to slow down, and they seemed to know that their efforts were futile, so they stopped doing this useless thing. It's just that these bats don't seem to be able to get the delicious taste in their mouths, and they still surround and refuse to leave.
Zhang Xiaofan's mind was turbulent, he had never seen such a vicious thing in his life, and he was still a little nervous and scared until this moment, he gasped and withdrew his gaze from the outer bats, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Lu Xueqi, who was standing beside him, was also extremely pale.
As if at the same time, Lu Xueqi also sensed his gaze and looked at Zhang Xiaofan. Their eyes met in the air.
Lu Xueqi suddenly turned her head, her pale face seemed to be whiter again, but she never looked back.
"Brush"
Suddenly, all the bats fluttered their wings and flew up, Zeng Shushu looked at them, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's not easy to ......."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't go on, only to see the sky full of black clouds, countless bats flew to a high place, suddenly turned around, and rushed down like hail in front of him, hitting the aperture of the hexagram, but was shocked back by the aperture of the hexagram, and then raised a cloud of blood mist, under the pale yellow light, and fell to the ground in pieces.
Bloodstained and bloody, countless terrifying blood flowers flickered in the night and fell to the ground, but the bats that followed seemed to be indifferent to the death of their own kind, and still kept crashing. The four people of Qingyunmen were all pale, looking at the rare ferocious foreign objects in this world.
Around the aperture, a thick pile of bats' corpses nearly approached half a man high.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly found that the clothes behind his back were all wet with cold sweat.
I don't know how long this terrifying scene lasted, until the bat corpses outside the aperture were almost piled up to the height of one person, and the bat swarm finally stopped this powerful and ferocious attack, at this moment, even if it was the Liuhe Treasure Mirror, the brightness of the aperture emitted by it was also a little dimmed, but it still flickered in the dark night, standing.
The sky was full of black clouds, and the only light in the dark night still refused to leave.
The four of them didn't even dare to close their eyes, each holding their own fairy sword magic weapon in their hands, and they didn't dare to slack off.
It's just that these huge swarms of bats don't seem to have any better ways anymore, they just surround and refuse to leave, but they don't attack again.
And so it went on until dawn.
When the first rays of the sun shone in the sky, as if there was some call in the dark, all the bats suddenly flew up, hovered in the air for a moment, and then flew back to the place where they had flown out last night, and they came and went faster, and in a few moments, these countless bats had disappeared.
The four of Qingyunmen slowly relaxed, but after a long time, Qi Hao did not remove the Liuhe Mirror until he was completely sure that those bats would not come out again.
The aperture dissipates.
With a muffled sound, the bat corpses around the four of them suddenly poured in from all directions and in the middle, drowning the four of them in this disgusting and terrible river. At that moment, Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped violently, and he almost thought that he had stopped breathing, and at the same time, he heard a scream from the people around him, and a jade hand reached over and grabbed his arm tightly.
The force was so great that through his clothes, his nails sank into his flesh.
The pain penetrated into his heart, and he turned his head to look at the frightened and beautiful woman, her pale face with a hint of panic in the morning sun, which made people's hearts ache inexplicably.
Suddenly, all the fear in his heart disappeared, even though he was still a little nervous, but his attention was attracted by Lu Xueqi, as if he was in front of her, he must not flinch.
He stepped forward and stood in front of her.
Lu Xueqi's wheezing voice slowly calmed down, she raised her head slightly, her lips moved slightly, she took a deep look at Zhang Xiaofan's face, and let go of her hand. (To be continued.) )
