Chapter 192: Strange
The sunset hangs far in the sky, behind the tall and steep, rolling mountain ranges, sprinkling the residual warmth to the land of southern Xinjiang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe dim light fell on the silent earth, and the wilderness was bleak and solemn.
Leaving the Burning Incense Valley, the ghosts and the golden bottle, standing on the wasteland in front of the 100,000 mountains, facing the seemingly endless towering mountains and vast land, they seemed to be just two inconspicuous little creatures, looking up at the huge existence between heaven and earth, looking at the remnant sun in the sky, falling little by little behind the boundless mountains, the sky was slowly darkening.
Between talking and breathing, in the flow of stars, who else can win time?
Leaving the Incense Valley was Ghost Li's proposal, but I happened to hear the conversation between Yun Yilan and the other three people in the Incense Valley that day, and I already knew that there might be a different method in the Incense Valley that might be able to awaken the "Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array", which was a great opportunity. However, Ghost Li somehow, with an indifferent face, still proposed to leave the Incense Valley, and the golden bottle, who has always been extremely smart, didn't seem to think of this layer, but readily agreed.
Leaving the Incense Valley, all the way down, Ghost Li and Jin Zhu'er rarely spoke, and they didn't discuss how to track it down next, but the two seemed to have some tacit understanding, and they both came south together, until today they came to the front of the legendary terrifying place "One Hundred Thousand Mountains", under the remnant sun black mountain, in the Xiao Xiao wilderness, the two of them silently stared at the mountain range.
The wind blows in the wilderness, without the slightest fragrance of flowers and plants, only the faint smell and roar of unknown places in the distance, and in this place, even the wind beside him seems to be fierce.
Jin Bei'er's hair swayed gently in the wind, and she tilted her head slightly, revealing her smooth and slender chin and a white neck, looking out at the distant mountains. The black peaks are high up, shrouded in a dark fog, constantly surging and rolling, behind these mountain ranges, I don't know what kind of world is it?
Others may be speculating, but in the hazy and complicated eyes of the golden bottle, there seems to be something shining.
Unlike the silent and charming woman beside her, although Ghost Li didn't speak much, all the way down, what Ghost Li thought in his heart was like a stormy wave, with huge ups and downs.
The first is the matter of the blood sacrifice, which touched his heart greatly, although over the years, he has killed a lot, and even won the so-called "blood child" in the Demon Sect, but for what he heard in the Incense Valley a few days ago, as if it was an attachment that he had rooted somewhere in his heart since he was a child, he actually subconsciously felt rejection and disgust. Then, from the seemingly casual reminder of the golden bottle, he woke up to what he had been ignoring in the past: in the Demon Sect, even the Ghost King may be doing something similar to what the Incense Valley will do......
Needless to say, this god is naturally a genus of a fierce god and an evil god, and the blood sacrifice itself is a terrible and inhumane thing that hurts the heavens and the heavens, and these things happen to him.
What kind of world is this?
Isn't everyone in this world crazy?
After all, it was the charming and weird young man who once met that said: people, after all, are just a kind of beasts, and there is no difference.
Ghost Li took a deep breath and looked silently at the distant mountain. After hearing the order given to him by the Ghost King from Mr. Ghost, Ghost Li had already guessed from the evil beast "gluttony" in the order that the strange boy he had had a two-sided relationship with was actually the beast god who caused unprecedented disasters to the people in the world.
It's just that the beast god wants to kill all the people in the world, but why he opened up to him, and he just talked and laughed and broke up twice, but the ghost didn't know.
In his chest, there is still a faint warmth, for many years, this faint warmth has been accompanied by Ghost Li, as if it has been a part of his body, and even most of the time, Ghost Li has ignored this warmth. It's just that the trip to the Incense Valley a few days ago touched a place in his heart, and the piece of jade that was lying quietly on his chest may be the key to this trip to southern Xinjiang!
From the conversation between Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce, it was clearly explained that it was precisely because of the loss of this piece of Ten Thousand Flame Essence that the Incense Valley was unable to activate the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array after losing the volcanic aura that had been accumulated for hundreds of years. And with this Xuanhuo Jian, can you find the secret of the mysterious magic circle?
Ghost Li was silent, looking at the remnant sun in the distance, and the last bit of afterglow finally disappeared quietly.
High on the black peak, as the last rays of sunlight dissipated, the once thick black fog seemed to suddenly begin to dissipate and thin rapidly, as if it had been stimulated by something.
Jin Bei'er, who was standing on the side, smiled slightly, turned his head, and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
Ghost Li glanced at her and said, "The changes in the poisonous fog here in the 100,000 Great Mountains have never been said in the past, how did you find out?"
Jin Bei'er smiled, her eyes were infinitely charming, as if she was teasing, as if she was cunning, and said, "I just won't tell you this, what can you do?"
The ghost was stunned, only to see that under the dark sky, deep in the mountains, the woman in front of her suddenly seemed to exude a bewitching and beautiful light in the bleak world, dazzling and dazzling.
At least, in the darkness in the distance, you don't have to walk alone.
The corners of Ghost Li's mouth moved, but he turned his head and said lightly: "Let's go." ”
After speaking, when he went first, the golden bottle behind him looked at his figure, smiled slightly, his eyes flashed, and he followed gently.
The two figures, one in front and one behind, as well as the monkey lying on their shoulders, slowly dissolved into the darkness and disappeared from time to time.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Palace.
Far away from the southern Xinjiang thousands of miles away, this immortal holy land that has just saved the world, the chaos caused by the beast and demon catastrophe is just like after the battle of the righteous and demons ten years ago, it was quickly and properly disposed of, and most of the places on Tongtian Peak have been restored to their original quiet and ethereal scenery, except for a few damaged huge buildings, which still need to be slowly renovated, but no one doubts that they will quickly return to their original state.
Among all the huge buildings on Tongtian Peak, the most important and the most huge is naturally the main hall "Yuqing Palace". Compared with other building halls, the damage suffered by the Yuqing Hall in that catastrophe is almost negligible, and it seems that the ancestors of Qingyunmen have a spirit and a good way to protect them.
And at this moment, just as Ghost Li and Jin Zhu'er were about to enter the mysterious and strange 100,000 mountains to track down the defeated and fleeing beast gods, a small quarrel broke out in the sacred Yuqing Hall on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain.
Qingyun Gate, in addition to the Changmen Tongtian Peak, the first seat of the six veins, after the beast demon catastrophe, it is rare to gather on the Yuqing Hall again, but the most important thing is that they came this time, not called by the master of the true Daoxuan, but everyone came by themselves. On the top of the main hall, the first person to entertain everyone was not Dao Xuan Zhenren, but Xiao Yicai, who looked slightly embarrassed.
Among the first seat of the six veins, Qi Hao, the first seat of Longshou Peak, and Chu Yuhong, the first seat of Chaoyang Peak, are both second-generation disciples in terms of generation, and they are the same generation as Xiao Yicai, so naturally they are not as direct as the other four uncles, and most of the time, the two of them are silent. But the other four veins: Big Bamboo Peak, Little Bamboo Peak, Fenghui Peak, and Luoxia Peak, the words spoken are not so polite.
The voice of Tian Buyi, the first seat of Dazhu Peak, was the largest among the four firsts, and I saw him sitting on a rosewood chair and said coldly to Xiao Yicai: "Senior nephew Xiao, the six of us have come here today, and it has been two hours now, why hasn't the senior brother in charge come out to see us, is it in his eyes, are we old guys unbearable to this point?"
Xiao Yicai's face was extremely embarrassed, with a wry smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Uncle Tian, you have always been highly respected in our Qingyun Sect, and the master has always valued you, this is ......something that everyone knows."
Tian Buyi didn't wait for him to finish, snorted, and sneered: "It turns out that the senior brother in charge values me so much, doesn't it matter if you leave me here for two hours?"
Xiao Yicai choked for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Tian, the disciple has already said just now, the old man of the master and his family did enter the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion ten days ago to retreat, and he did not go out, and now the affairs of Tongtian Peak are temporarily in charge of the disciple's place." ”
The four elders sitting at the bottom snorted coldly at the same time, obviously not believing Xiao Yicai's words. Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak, who was sitting on the side, said coldly: "Senior nephew Xiao, in the past ten days, although I have been in Xiaozhu Peak, I have heard several times that the senior brother in charge is acting strangely on Tongtian Peak, and what's more, late one night a few days ago, there were rumors that the senior brother in charge was crazy and howled to the sky at the top of the Yuqing Palace, but is there such a thing?"
Xiao Yicai immediately shook his head and said: "There is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing, Senior Uncle Shuiyue must have heard it wrong, the old man is a master of the Dao, the leader of the righteous path in the world, and the immortal wind and Dao bone, how could he do such a rebellious thing?"
The four elders glanced at each other, and they all saw that the others were very suspicious of Xiao Yicai's words. Sitting next to the first seat of Fenghui Peak, the Tianri Dao chief who took over as the head of Tianyun Dao as the first seat of Luoxia Peak, looked mediocre and thin, wearing a Taoist robe, and said with a frown: "Senior nephew Xiao, it's not for a few of us to be uncles to embarrass you, this senior nephew, it's really the senior brother in charge of the sect who is the focus of my Qingyun Gate, if something happens to him, I'm afraid of shaking my Qingyun roots, it is precisely because of this, we must come up to ask you, don't go to your heart." ”
At this moment, the first seat of the six veins sat down, and the main seat in the middle originally belonged to Dao Xuan Zhenren, naturally no one sat down, Xiao Yicai's identity was lower than that of several uncles, so he had to stand aside, and at this moment he also smiled bitterly, and said: "Uncles, the disciples don't dare to hold grudges in their hearts no matter what, but, but the old man is indeed in retreat, and there is a strict order not to disturb, not that Yicai deliberately obstructs the uncles from meeting the master." ”
Tian Buyi snorted angrily and said: "Don't talk nonsense, these days, the entire Qingyun Gate has been spread, the head of the hall behaves very strangely, sometimes crazy all day long on Tongtian Peak, sometimes dazed, if the senior brother in charge of the family is in poor health, we as junior brothers have to think of ways to treat him no matter what, at least to visit, if he is safe and sound, how can he refuse to come out to see us." Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and said angrily: "Xiao Yicai, you are honest, what happened to him, senior brother?"
Xiao Yicai's body was shocked, as if he was startled by Tian Buyi's loud voice, but he still had a slightly bitter smile on his face, and he was silent.
Uncle Zeng, who had been sitting next to him and didn't say much, glanced at Xiao Yicai, frowned, muttered for a moment, and said, "That's it, Senior Nephew Xiao, we old men also know that you have always respected Master and dare not disobey, and we will not embarrass you." Now, as long as you take us to the retreat place of the senior brother in charge, and a few of us ask the senior brother in charge to say goodbye, what do you think?"
Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment, did not speak, but there was a thoughtful look on his face, Uncle Zeng often turned his head and glanced at the people behind him, Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and others all nodded slowly. Uncle Zeng coughed, slowly stood up, and said in a calm tone: "Senior nephew Xiao, in fact, we just care about the senior brother in charge, and we have always respected the senior brother and his old man, and everyone in Qingyunmen knows about this matter. As long as we see the senior brother in charge and know that he is in good health, we will naturally be relieved. By the way, I heard that the senior brother in charge has recently retreated, and according to the old system of Qingyunmen, it is nothing more than the Yuqing Palace, the ancestral hall and the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, but I don't know ...... him."
Uncle Zeng often said that to the end, his voice slowly slowed down, but his eyes looked at Xiao Yicai, Xiao Yicai's face changed a few times, and after a while, he bowed his head slightly to Uncle Zeng and the others, and said: "Shizun his old man has suffered many changes in recent years, so he often blames himself, and often worships the ancestors of the past generations in the ancestral hall. ”
Uncle Zeng frowned, nodded, and didn't say anything, when he walked towards the back hall of Yuqing Hall first, Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and Tianri Daoist also followed, Qi Hao and Chu Yuhong slowly stood up, and when they walked past Xiao Yicai, Qi Hao also had a slight wry smile on his face, reached out and patted Xiao Yicai's shoulder gently, Xiao Yicai sighed, shook his head and said nothing.

The ancestral hall of the ancestor in the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain is still hidden in the deep woods, only in the gap between the green leafy treetops, revealing a little cornice. Maybe it's really the protection of the ancestors of Qingyunmen, and the two thrilling catastrophes that Qingyunmen has experienced in the past ten years have not been damaged here.
As in the past, from a distance, there is a faint light of incense flickering in the gray ancestral hall, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
A group of people quickly walked from the Yuqing Hall to the back mountain, and came to the three-way intersection in front of the ancestral hall. Suddenly, Qi Hao, who was walking behind, said "Huh", his tone was a little surprised, and he walked a few steps forward, and everyone looked at him, only to see that in front of the ancestral hall that was gradually revealed, there was a young man standing there quietly, motionless, but his eyes were looking into the depths of the ancestral hall, with his back to Qi Hao and the others.
Qi Hao frowned and shouted, "Is it Senior Brother Lin?"
The young man's figure was shocked, and when he turned around, it was Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu suddenly saw Qi Hao, and his face was also full of joy, but then he saw that Qi Hao was followed by many people, and all of them were the heads of all the veins of Qingyunmen, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Senior Brother Qi, why are you here, and all the senior uncles and senior brothers, why are you all here?"
Qi Hao approached Lin Jingyu and said with a smile: "I came all the way just now, I was wondering if I could see you here, we two brothers, we haven't seen each other for many days." ”
Lin Jingyu was obviously quite happy to see Qi Hao, and said with a smile: "Yes, I miss my senior brother too." By the way," he looked at the others and asked Qi Hao in a low voice, "Senior Brother, why are you here with these first senior uncles and senior brothers?"
Qi Hao glanced at the ancestral hall behind Lin Jingyu, frowned, and said, "Senior Brother Lin, that well, Uncle Zhang, can he be in this ancestral hall?"
The smile on Lin Jingyu's face also slowly disappeared, obviously he also noticed that things were a little different, but in the face of the senior uncles and brothers who had always been highly respected, he still said honestly: "The real person in charge of the sect is in the ancestral hall." ”
There was a slight commotion behind Qi Hao, which soon calmed down again, and then, Uncle Zeng's voice was calm and slightly old: "Senior Brother Boss, what is he doing in it, is it a retreat?"
Lin Jingyu seemed to be taken aback, and said, "Retreat, what retreat?"
Qi Hao's complexion changed, and Tian Buyi took a step forward under the change of complexion, but was immediately stopped by Zeng Shuchang. Uncle Zeng Chang Xiang Tian Yi made a color, shook his head, and then glanced at Qi Hao, Qi Hao understood, frowned and asked Lin Jingyu: "Senior Brother Lin, this, have you been on Tongtian Peak recently?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Qi Hao pondered for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then said slowly: "Have you seen anything strange on this Tongtian Peak, or have you heard anything strange?"
Lin Jingyu thought about it, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, and his eyes gradually lit up, but his complexion did not change much, and he still replied honestly: "Senior Brother Hui, although I have always been on Tongtian Peak, but since these days, I have almost been in this ancestral hall to mourn for my predecessors, so I haven't heard anything outside." He paused, looked at Qi Hao, and said, "Senior brother, did something happen?"
Qi Hao choked, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "No, nothing happened." By the way, why are you standing here in broad daylight, aren't you going to keep a watch in the ancestral hall?"
Lin Jingyu glanced at the dark depths of the ancestral hall, and said, "It was the real person in charge of the sect who asked me to stand here, every time he came, he let me stand outside alone, and then he entered the ancestral hall alone." ”
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Zeng and the others all changed color slightly, and Qi Hao also frowned, and said, "Uncle Zhang, he is still inside?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Yes, he is in the ancestral hall." ”
Qi Hao nodded, took a few steps back, and stopped talking.
Zeng Shuchang, Tian Buyi and others glanced at each other, but no one acted for a while, after a while, Tian Buyi snorted, strode out, and came to the door of the ancestral hall, but did not walk up the steps, and said loudly under the stone steps: "Senior Brother Daoxuan, I am Tian Buyi, and the others are Shui Yue, Tianri, Zeng Shuchang and the first nephew of the other two veins, who have come to see you together." Are you there?"
His voice was loud and full of energy, and it spread in the forest, and when he looked vaguely, it seemed that in the dim place in the depths of the ancestral hall, even the little incense suddenly lit up, and then slowly returned to normal.
A moment later, a voice came from the darkness, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
Tian Buyi and the other elders were all shocked, the cold air in this voice was extremely heavy, and there was a faint bit of anger, where was there the slightest taste of Dao Xuan Zhenren's Qingyue righteousness, but several of them were all people who had known Dao Xuan Zhenren for more than hundreds of years, and as soon as these words entered their ears, they could distinguish that this was indeed the voice of Dao Xuan Zhenren.
This Taoist immortal who once led the righteous path of the world, did something really happen to him?
As soon as they thought of this, Tian Buyi and the others' faces changed.
Tian Buyi coughed, took a deep breath, and said aloud again: "Senior brother, a few of us heard that you have been ill recently, so we came to visit, and asked Senior Brother to let us in to have a visit." ”
Dao Xuan Zhenren's voice was silent for a moment, but when it reappeared, it was accompanied by a sneer, and the chill was piercing: "See me, do you need the first seat of the six veins to come over, I see that you are trying to force the palace and peep into my position as the master of the sect!"
As soon as these words came out, it was almost like thunder out of thin air, and everyone changed color, even Tian Buyi couldn't help but take a few steps back, stunned and surprised, and turned his head to look, only to see that even Shui Yue and others, who had always been calm and indifferent in the past, had an unbelievable expression on their faces.
Uncle Zeng's eyes were full of worry, he stepped forward and said loudly: "Senior brother in charge, where did you start with this, those of us who are junior brothers and sisters have never had this thought for hundreds of years, not before, not now, and not in the future." Recently, I waited to come, but I just cared about my brother's body and seemed to be fine, and he had no two hearts, so he must not think wrong. ”
Dao Xuan Zhenren's voice suddenly rose, and he sneered: "Zeng Shuchang, among the first seat of the six veins, you have always thought that you have the deepest scheming, you have long been aware of the plans of Longshou Peak Cangsong that day, but you have been holding back, don't you think I don't know?"
Uncle Zeng's face changed greatly, and Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue, and Tianri Daoren and others also turned around in astonishment and looked at Uncle Zeng.
Master Shuiyue stared at Zeng Shuchang and said for a while, "Is this serious?"
Uncle Zeng often smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "This, where does this start?"
Master Shuiyue was still about to ask, and suddenly the countless dim incense in the ancestral hall of the patriarch lit up without wind, and it was not clear in the darkness, but somehow, it made people feel that in the depths of the darkness, something strange roared.
Almost at the same time, Dao Xuan Zhenren's voice came again, but the object he was referring to had already shifted from Zeng Shuchang's body to Master Shuiyue: "Shuiyue, what are you pretending to be, do you think you look like you are high, and you are really angry?"
In the end, Dao Xuan Zhenren's voice actually laughed wildly as if he couldn't control himself, and there was no trace of the appearance of a fairy wind Dao bone, however, at this moment, no one paid attention to him anymore, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang and others were all discolored, and they looked at Shui Yue, whose face was pale, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
This short few words, but it was too thrilling, Qi Hao and other junior disciples only watched and listened dumbfounded, and Master Shuiyue was trembling all over at the moment, but somehow, her eyes actually emitted an almost fanatical burning gaze that had never been seen before, and she took a few steps forward, as if she didn't care about anything else, and shouted loudly to the ancestral hall: "You, what are you talking about?"
A word woke everyone up, Tian Buyi and the others reacted almost at the same time, and they all looked excited, and then asked from the depths of the ancestral hall.
However, the arrogant laughter of Dao Xuan Zhenren became more and more crazy, echoing in the sky above the ancestral hall of the patriarch of Qingyun Mountain, and it did not disperse for a long time. (To be continued.) )
