"Forest of Ten Thousand Demons" in the depths, located in the central area, a although not magnificent, but decorated unusually gorgeous palace is located here, the entrance of the main hall does not know what animal scratches, on the plaque above is written three big characters, but these three characters are not the common Chinese characters of human beings on the mainland, nor is it estimated that any font recorded on it, even if you invite a monk from the past and the present or a scholar who specializes in writing to come here, I am afraid that you will have to look at the "word" and sigh, I don't know why.

The palace is surrounded by a green and moist meadow, on which all kinds of flowers are blooming, the fragrance of flowers and plants is refreshing, occasionally a few butterflies are attracted by the fragrance of flowers, but they do not stay on the flowers, as if they dare not invade the beauty of this place too much, such a harmonious, beautiful fairyland, I am afraid that only in mythology will appear. The meadow is surrounded by trees, and there are several layers of barrier that ordinary people cannot perceive and cannot enter, as if to protect this majestic structure that seems to be hundreds of thousands of years old.

The light inside the palace was not very good, compared to the bright sunlight outside, it was a little dark, and the silence inside was terrifying.

Entering from the doorway has always been a spacious corridor, covered with a red carpet, but because no one has cleaned it all the year round, the dust has accumulated, and it has taken on a dark red color, and the whole palace is made of unknown materials, exuding a cold chill all the time, and the walls on both sides are not smooth, and they are carved with all kinds of intricate patterns.

If you look closer, you will only feel that the carvings on the wall are messy, the patterns are disorderly, you can't see what it is, only take a step back and look at it from a distance, and you can find that the various patterns on the wall are all monsters in the flood period, and some species have disappeared a long time ago. Does not exist in the world, every wall on both sides of the passage is a kind of wild beast, between the teeth and claws, showing its majesty, the scales are fine, lifelike, as if alive attached to the mural, at any time there is the possibility of jumping out to devour people.

A middle-aged man with a human appearance, trembling through this deep corridor, although this is not the first time he has entered this palace, but every time he sees the beasts on the wall that seem to be surrounding him, the deep fear in his heart will still be revealed.

Try to take your steps as lightly as possible, step on the red carpet and walk slowly until you reach the end of the palace for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Instead of raising his head and looking straight ahead, he lowered his head as much as possible, knelt on his knees, and made a big salute respectfully, shouting in his mouth: "Subordinate Mu Chen see the master." ”

After a long time, no one spoke in the palace, as if he was the only one here, and the master he said did not exist here at all.

Although it was cold in the palace, there were still drops of sweat rolling down on Mu Chen's head, splashing the carpet under his feet, even if he didn't get a response for a long time, he still didn't dare to get up rashly.

On the stairs in front, the animal skin seat about two meters long and about one meter wide is empty, and no one is sitting on it, but what is surprising is that a lazy voice came out of this chair, soft and delicate with a little ethereal voice, which makes people reverie and quickly cut off the dirty thoughts that should not be, and the contradiction has some sweetness close to nature, so that the person who hears it is like drinking a clear spring, listening to the voice, the person who speaks should be a woman.

The so-called owner is actually a woman!

Mu Chen seemed to be in awe of the woman he called his master, and he prostrated on the ground motionless, listening to his master's question.

"Did you come here for something today?" The faint words were mixed with impatient irritation, which made Mu Chen's heart tremble.

"Disturbing the master's rest, the subordinates really deserve death, please punish the master. Mu Chen did not hesitate, hurriedly pleaded guilty, his head hit the ground, even if there was a thick carpet cushion, there was still a crisp sound of "bangbang-", which showed that Mu Chen had a lot of strength.

The woman who is called the master may have just woken up, and when she got up and was angry, her emotions were not as fluctuating as just now, and she cleared her dry throat rationally, and said, "Didn't I tell you how many times not to call me master, why can't you change it?"

"My master has saved my life, and I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life. Mu Chen stopped hitting the ground, the dazzling blood stains on his forehead were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye when he raised his head slightly, he paused and said with a smile: "What's more, I have been calling you the master for thousands of years, and I have long been used to it, and now I am afraid that it is not easy to do it." ”

Sighing helplessly, the woman no longer bothered about the title, and instead asked, "I haven't seen you for almost hundreds of years, has there been something big about coming to see me this time?"

Still with his head lowered, the man's face was solemn, and he arched his hand and reported: "Something big has indeed happened, otherwise how dare I come to this palace to wake up the master?" Today we suddenly found that many cultivators somehow broke through the outer barrier and entered our "Forest of Ten Thousand Demons". ”

The woman on the steps didn't move, as if she was asleep, and after a long time, she sighed faintly and said, "Those who should come always have to come, but I don't know how they learned that the Tiger Spirit Sword was in our Forest of Ten Thousand Demons." ”

The "Tiger Spirit Sword" is really in our "Forest of Ten Thousand Demons"? This matter didn't even know about it, if it wasn't confirmed in the master's mouth, he would have thought that it was an excuse that those foreign cultivators were looking for in order to conquer the demon clan.

However, so many cultivators entering the "Forest of Ten Thousand Demons" is not a small calamity for their demon clan!

Mu Chen hesitated for a while, and mustered up the courage to express the doubts that had been buried in his heart for many years: "Master, when you laid down the enchantment, you could have allowed none of the cultivators outside to think about coming in, why did you deliberately weaken the power of the enchantment and let some cultivators who had cultivated to be strong enter and exit at will, because of this, many of our fellow demon clans died tragically at the hands of those cultivators who did anything for the sake of profit, these could have been avoided." ”

The silence in the main hall was scary all of a sudden, and the surging chill was so strong that even Mu Chen, who had already adapted to the temperature here, couldn't stand it, and his upper and lower teeth touched each other, and he shivered.

"Are you questioning me?" the soft ethereal spirit vanished, replaced by an aggressive, icy tone, cold words that seemed to freeze and freeze the entire palace.

Unable to control the instinctive trembling of his body when he felt the cold, Mu Chen's heart was full of fear, and he replied loudly and tremblingly: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Although there was a slight tremor in the voice, it was very loud, echoing in the main hall.

"I naturally do this for a reason, not only to let the demon clan living in the "Forest of Ten Thousand Demons" have some sense of crisis, but also to prepare for future planning, the world's spells, supernatural powers are varied, familiar with the fighting methods of other cultivators in addition to the demon clan, it is only good for our demon clan, there is no harm. ”

Mu Chen is a cronie who has followed her for many years, and there are some things that need to be explained to him, although the superior can't let his subordinates guess his thoughts, he can't hide everything from his subordinates and do something that seems to them to be arbitrary, which will only make his subordinates have negative feelings of suspicion and distrust towards her, which will become the source of the disaster.

"Master, do you mean to say...... , are you going to start a war with those cultivators?" After all, Mu Chen is a monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, how smart his mind is, he understands a lot of things with a light click, his spirit is lifted, his eyes are shining, and he exclaimed, showing an expression of disbelief, even the good etiquette that has always been kept has been completely forgotten by him, and he stood up from the ground in shock.

"Who knows?" Even if he couldn't see the expression of His Royal Highness the Holy King, in this faint voice, Mu Chen also got the information he wanted. Restless, it seems that he can't bear to do a big job.

He shouted loudly: "My subordinates understand, my subordinates will inform all the demon clans of the "Forest of Ten Thousand Demons" that this time we must entertain this group of uninvited guests, so that they can understand that our demon clan is not a soft persimmon that they can pinch and step on when they want." ”

After many years of living a peaceful and stable life, he has been oppressed and provoked by foreign cultivators many times, but he has suffered from orders and cannot fight back.

"No, we won't go to war this time, you let all the demon clans retreat to hide in hiding places. ”

The woman's soft words made Mu Chen, who was full of energy, like a deflated ball, his face collapsed, his body froze in place, and he asked puzzledly, "Why?"

No one can understand the true power of the "Tiger Sword", and no one can understand how tempting it is for other cultivators who pursue power, and since they have learned that the "Tiger Sword" is here, they will definitely not easily let go of such a good opportunity to take it for themselves, so the strength of the people sent must not be underestimated.

The woman who only heard his voice and did not see him did not answer his doubts, but asked in a voice like a bell: "Do you know why I chose this place as the gathering place of the demon clan and established the 'Forest of Ten Thousand Demons'?"

Could it be that the master knew that the "Tiger Sword" was in this land? At that time, he thought that it was just the master's casual behavior, and he didn't think about it so much, but now His Royal Highness asked, Mu Chen cautiously glanced at the top of the steps, and hesitated: "Did you choose here to get the 'Tiger Sword'?"

The woman on the steps first shook her head when she heard this, and then she thought that she had arranged an illusion on her body in advance, and Mu Chen couldn't see it, so she had to lightly open her lips and said: "I didn't build the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons here to seize the ancient and modern treasure of the Tiger Spirit Knife, I have always been for the purpose of protecting this treasure, and I have no other thoughts." ”

"What's more......" The woman suddenly became soft, paused, and said abruptly, "That treasure used to be 'his' thing......"

The eloquent voice, with a trace of nostalgia, a little bit of loneliness, followed the faint thoughts, drifted to the end of distant time.

There was silence in the main hall......
