The icy wind gradually made people feel the chill, and the low black clouds in the sky and the deep cavern that was gradually becoming apparent showed that the cave of the legendary demon was gradually approaching. Lu Xueqi and the others stood more than ten zhang away from the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, looking in the direction of the cave.
In the distance, a stone statue facing the depths of the cave with its back to them, standing alone at the entrance of the Ancient Cave of Demon Suppression, and nothing else.
Li Xun looked at the cave, seemed to be a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "This is it." ā
The yin wind was howling, and it seemed that it suddenly raised its voice a little, which made people frightened. Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu, Li Xun and others are profound, so they are naturally not afraid of the yin qi contained in this yin wind, and the dozen or so disciples of Incense Valley who followed them are all masters of one in a hundred, and they don't seem to have too many uncomfortable looks.
Zeng Shushu turned around and said, "The demonic aura here is really extremely heavy, but we have been observing for a long time, but there is not a single demon beast infested, which is a bit strange. ā
Lu Xueqi nodded, but her cold expression remained unchanged at all, and she said lightly: "Since we are here, let's go over, and if there are any demonic beasts and demons, we can deal with them as soon as possible." After that, without waiting for Li Xun and the others to answer, he walked straight forward.
Li Xun and Zeng Shushu glanced at each other, Zeng Shushu laughed dryly, shrugged his shoulders, and followed. Li Xun looked at the slender back from behind, and suddenly sighed secretly, for him, that figure really didn't know how many times he had appeared in his dreams, but when he really had the opportunity to be together, it seemed to be farther away.
He was silent for a moment, waved his hand, beckoned the juniors behind him, and followed.
In the distance, near the mysterious stone statue at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, a black shadow suddenly flashed and flashed into the cave, and it was the figure of Heimu.
Almost as Kuroki's figure flashed to the entrance of the cave, a low roar suddenly appeared out of thin air in the depths of the cave, it was the voice of the fierce black tiger, and then the illusory smoke in the air began to condense, and the fierce spirit was about to appear again.
At this moment, Hei Mu, who was hiding behind the black clothes, suddenly said quickly: "Big brother, don't come out yet, listen to me." ā
The voice of the fierce spirit Black Tiger sneered, but the white smoke was still condensing, obviously not listening to Black Wood's words, and said, "Beast, do you dare to come back?"
Kuroki stood in the shadow of a corner of the cave and said, "After you appeared, it was inevitable that you would alarm these people who came over, and there is an endless stream of people who came to this ancient cave to suppress demons today, so don't you know what's going on?"
The illusory white smoke suddenly suffocated in midair, not continuing to increase, but also not dissipating.
After a moment, the Black Tiger's voice said coldly, 'What do you mean?'
Kuroki said coldly, "They came here to deal with the people in this cave, no matter what, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
Outside the entrance of the cave, footsteps sounded in the distance, and the group approached this ancient and deep cave.
The white smoke suddenly dispersed, and in the strong yin wind that blew from the depths of the cavern, it instantly dissipated, and almost at the same time, Kuroki's black figure also disappeared into the darkness.
The figures of Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu, Li Xun and others appeared in front of the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave in the next moment.
Zeng Shushu cautiously glanced into the deep darkness of the cave, his brows furrowed, obviously feeling a little uneasy about this place where the demonic aura was so heavy and so strange and unpredictable.
And Li Xun, who was standing beside him, was a little similar to him, and he frowned slightly, but between his expressions, his eyes revealed a little bit of vague surprise and surprise, and he slowly walked back and forth a few steps near the mouth of the cave, but it was calm, and there was no other sound except for the strong and piercing yin wind.
This seemed to make Li Xun feel a little confused, he stared at this Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, silent, as if he was pondering something.
Unlike these two men, after arriving outside this cave, Lu Xueqi quickly turned her attention from the deep darkness in the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave to the mysterious and lonely female stone statue next to her, she slowly walked to the stone statue and stared at the stone statue.
The stone statue woman doesn't know how many years of wind, frost, rain and snow she has experienced, and traces of erosion can be seen everywhere from top to bottom, but as if she has some kind of induction, Lu Xueqi can clearly see that the expression of this stone statue woman is still so lifelike, her face is slightly sad, with a sadness, her eyes seem to be confused, silently staring at the depths of this mysterious ancient cave, as if she is expecting something, and seems to be pouring out something?
It's just that in the past 10 million years, who has heard her heart?
......
'Senior Sister Lu, Senior Sister Lu!'
Suddenly, a few surprised shouts came from the side, Lu Xueqi's whole body was shocked, and she couldn't help but take a step back, wake up from her inexplicable contemplation, and look to the side.
Zeng Shushu was a little surprised and a little worried on his face, and said, "Senior Sister Lu, I've called you a few times, why don't you seem to hear it?"
Lu Xueqi's face turned slightly pale, and she slowly clenched the hand hanging from her waist, but found that she didn't know when it started, and her palms were actually covered with cold sweat. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said lightly, 'It's okay, did you find anything?'
Zeng Shushu shook his head and said, "No, except for the yin wind and some weirdness, I haven't even seen a trace of a demon beast here. With that, he turned to Li Xun and said, "Senior Brother Li, what have you discovered?"
Li Xun was silent for a moment, shook his head as well, and said, "It's nothing, but it's really weird here......
Zeng Shushu said strangely: 'Weird, what weird?'
Li Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly laughed dryly, and said, "No, I saw that this was originally a beast demon lair, how could there be no beast demons, so I felt strange." ā
Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "That's what I said, I also feel strange in my heart!
Lu Xueqi didn't answer immediately, her bright and clear eyes slowly flashed with light, and she glanced at Li Xun again.
Li Xun didn't know why, he suddenly coughed, turned his head to look at the other Incense Valley disciples, and said, "You guys come here, don't be too far away." ā
Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment, then glanced back at the female stone statue, and said, "No matter what, when we come here, there is no reason to give up halfway, let's go in!"
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Not bad." After speaking, he turned to Li Xun and said, "Senior Brother Li, what do you mean?"
Li Xun was still frowning, as if he had something difficult to understand at the moment, but after a while, he still said: "What Senior Sister Lu said is very true, let's go in!"
Zeng Shushu turned around and said, "In that case, let's go in!" But this place is extraordinary after all, so it's better for us to be careful." In this way, I should open the way first, Senior Sister Lu, you will answer in the middle, Senior Brother Li, after you break off, and the other senior brothers of Incense Valley will walk in the middle, okay?'
Li Xun nodded, and was about to agree, when suddenly Lu Xueqi said lightly on the side: "It's so inappropriate, let's change it!"
Zeng Shushu and Li Xun were both stunned, and Zeng Shushu said: 'Senior Sister Lu, what do you mean?'
Lu Xueqi pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go ahead, Senior Brother Zeng will walk last, and the others and Senior Brother Li will be in the middle! Senior Brother Li and all of you are disciples of Incense Valley, so if something happens, there will be someone to direct and speak." ā
Li Xun's face changed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Zeng Shushu already smiled and said: "Ah! ā
Li Xun frowned, but after all, he still closed his mouth and did not speak, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
Lu Xueqi looked at him, then turned his head to Zeng Shushu and said, "Senior Brother Zeng, you are at the end, you have a good line of sight, you should look at the overall situation and plan in your heart." ā
Zeng Shushu smiled slightly, and suddenly turned his back to them at an angle that Li Xun and other Incense Valley disciples couldn't see, winked at Lu Xueqi, and then smiled: "Senior Sister Lu, don't worry, after I break off, I'm not afraid of any trouble, hahaha......
Lu Xueqi glanced at Zeng Shushu deeply, and suddenly the corners of her mouth seemed to show a shallow smile, but then disappeared again. Rao is like this, this moment of elegance has already made the young disciples of the Incense Valley who secretly looked at her from time to time in the distance feel turbulent, and some people couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xun snorted, his face was grim, and suddenly the strange sound disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xueqi's face turned indifferent and cold again, glanced around, and said, "We went in." After saying that, he ignored the others and walked first.
Zeng Shushu turned to Li Xun and smiled: "Senior Brother Li, let's go too!"
Li Xun nodded, greeted the other Incense Valley disciples, and followed.
When Li Xun and the others followed Lu Xueqi into the deep darkness, Zeng Shushu seemed to be unhurried, looking at the surrounding scenery for a while, as if thinking about something. After a few moments, he smiled mysteriously and slowly walked into the ancient cave.
The sound of low footsteps echoed out of the darkness, and the entrance to the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave fell into silence again. As the footsteps became lower and farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, a figure suddenly flashed in the darkness, and then Kuroki's figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and slowly walked in front of the female stone statue, silently looking at the stone statue.
Behind Kuroki, illusory white smoke slowly floated and condensed, and the huge figure of the fierce black tiger also reappeared.
But at this moment, the fierce spirit Black Tiger did not immediately speak ill of Heimu, but turned back to the darkness in the depths of the cave and stared at it for a long time, and suddenly sneered, and said: "These people in Middle-earth have never been intrigued and intrigued, and even when they come here, they are still fighting. ā
Kuroki turned around and said lightly: "People's hearts have always been like this, don't say it's them, it's you and me, even the mother back then, isn't it the same?"
'What?' The huge body of the fierce spirit black tiger suddenly turned around, because the speed was so rapid and fast, that it made a muffled sound similar to the roar of a beast in mid-air, and when I looked at his face again, it was already full of anger and hideous, only to hear him roar: 'What do you say, you dare to insult Niangniang, and you are still in front of the statue of Niangniang?'
In front of this terrifying fierce body, Kuroki's body looked extremely small, but somehow, although he couldn't see his face clearly, from his calm tone, you could hear that he didn't have the slightest fear, and more, it seemed that he was deeply tired.
"Big brother, if Niangniang didn't have a scheming at the beginning, what do you think can seal that immortal demon in this ancient cave for so many years?"
The fierce spirit black tiger was obviously suffocated, but he obviously didn't want to admit it, and roared: "What nonsense are you talking about, that's all the ...... of Niangniang back then."
'Okay!' Suddenly, Hei Mu was unusual, and he actually broke off his breath, interrupting the words of the fierce spirit Black Tiger, and said, "You don't always hang Niangniang and Niangniang in your mouth like this, and I am no less than you in respect of Niangniang." ā
The huge body of the fierce spirit black tiger stiffened for a moment, and his face involuntarily showed a trace of consternation, after a while, he did not get angry, but the expression on his face calmed down, looking at this relative in his previous life from top to bottom.
He suddenly laughed, and then said lightly, 'What's wrong with you, you never spoke to me like that before?'
Kuroki sneered as if he was laughing at himself, and slowly turned his gaze back to the delicate stone statue of the shrine maiden, and said slowly, "Yes, I would never have spoken like this before, but why am I like this now?" I don't know myself, who can tell me?'
The fierce spirit black tiger said coldly: "That's your own business, I'm not interested or want to know, you just have to tell me one thing." ā
Kuroki looked at the delicate stone statue in a daze, and said, "What?"
The fierce spirit Black Tiger said: 'It was you who betrayed the legacy left by your mother, and you rebelled against the way, and privately helped that demon recover the five holy weapons of the five clans in southern Xinjiang and resurrect him. But why did you let me go into the cave again today, with the intention of disusing him?'
Kuroki's gaze never left the delicate stone statue, and after a while, his voice was low and painful, and he said: "Niangniang sealed the beast god back then, it was wrong; we followed Niangniang and asked for the art of immortality, so it was also wrong to create such a monster; I thought that the beast god was guilty of this, but I didn't expect him to be angry with the people of the world, so that out of this catastrophe, I was also wrong." ā
He laughed miserably, suddenly turned around, opened his arms, and shouted in a terrible voice.
'Wrong...... Wrong!...... Wrong!...... So we're all wrong......
The shout echoed far away, and the mountains responded, but the heavens and the earth were indifferent, but as if nothing had changed, they stared coldly at this mortal world.
The huge body of the fierce spirit black tiger stood aside, looking at Heimu's suddenly painful figure, and was silent, without saying a word, just standing silently behind him, in his eyes, the complicated eyes flickered slightly, but there was no trace of tears.
Whether it is him or Kuroki, in this bleak world, for thousands of years, they have long lost the right to cry!
Lu Xueqi, who was walking in the ancient cave of demon suppression, suddenly seemed to feel something, stopped, turned around and glanced at the road he came from, but the road behind him was dark and silent, except for silence, there was no sound at all.
It's just that sudden throbbing, tumbling and echoing in my heart, never calmed down for a long time.
Li Xun, who was not far behind her, said in a low voice, "Senior Sister Lu, what's wrong, have you found anything?"
Lu Xueqi was in the dark, slowly turned around, and looked ahead, where there was also a dark and dreary darkness.
She was silent for a moment in the dark, and then said quietly: 'It's nothing, keep walking!'
She took a deep breath, cheered up, and walked proudly, the darkness quietly dispersing in front of her, because from her hand, the Tianya Divine Sword gradually lit up, and the gentle pale blue light gently shrouded her side, looking like a dream.
Behind him, I don't know how many people instantly held their breath.
It's just that the beautiful figure resolutely walked towards the dark road, although it looked a little lonely, but there was no hesitation.
How should this part of the road, such a life, be walked?
She didn't look back.
Deep in the Ancient Cave of Demon Suppression.
The flames burned quietly in the ancient brazier, and if you looked closely, you would find that there was no combustible thing in the brazier under the light of the fire, and the flame seemed to be a rootless fire.
Flames flickered in midair, tongues of fire swaying, illuminating the beast god's face and reflecting the figure of the man who was approaching.
Ghost Li walked to the other side of the firelight, his face slowly appearing in the light, and at the same time saw the familiar face in front of him.
The beast god, who was still sitting on the ground leaning against the small stone platform, smiled slightly, looked up and down the ghost, and said, "I knew that someone would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to be the first to get here," he paused for a moment and smiled, "You didn't seem surprised when you saw me just now, didn't you already know my identity when we met before that?"
Ghost Li shook his head slowly, facing this young and gentle looking man, it was really difficult to think of him with the beast demon who brought great catastrophe to the entire world before, but this was a fact.
I guessed it later. He replied faintly.
The beast god looked at him and said gently, 'Oh, I'm very interested, how did you guess my identity from the rumors about my appearance, or my clothes, or my actions?'
Neither. The ghost said.
The beast god seemed interested, and said, 'Oh, what is that?'
Ghost Li glanced to his side and said, "It's it. ā
The beast god nodded slowly and said, "Yes, this is the best way, you can't go wrong." ā
Beside him, the beast gluttonous roared.
The beast god stretched out his hand, and from a distance, Ghost Li could even see that the hand was strangely pale, and it didn't seem to be a human hand at all, and that hand was withered as if it was the hand he had seen when he met the Great Wizard in Qilitong.
It's just that, after a few gentle pats of the seemingly weak hand, it seemed to have some comfort, and the gluttony calmed down and slowly lay on the ground. At the same time, the monkey Xiao Ash, who had been staying on Ghost Li's shoulder, slowly slipped down, touched his head on the ground, and looked at Ghost Li and the Beast God again, as if he felt that there was no strong hostility between the two people as expected.
It thought for a moment, and then slowly, slowly approached the gluttony. Gluttony apparently noticed this too, and turned his head to watch the gray-haired three-eyed monkey approach. Soon, Ash approached the glutton's side, it grinned, spread its hands, and the tail behind it actually shook for a while, and then, it slowly stretched out its hand and touched the glutton's head.
The eyes of the ghost and the beast god were temporarily attracted by Xiao Ash, but neither of them spoke, just watched silently.
Looking at Xiao Ash's movements, Ghost Li's heart suddenly moved, once upon a time, many years ago, when he was still that ordinary Zhang Xiaofan, on the big bamboo peak, Xiao Ash was also so close to the big yellow dog that Tian was not easy to raise.
The gluttony slowly straightened up, but did not immediately stand up, and seemed a little confused to it. It turned its head to look at its master, the beast god, who seemed to be careless, and did not see any displeasure, and then it turned back again, and the little gray hand reached out to its head.
In the middle of his mouth and nose, he suddenly snorted low, as if he was demonstrating. Ash was startled and retracted his arm, only to find that Tao Tao did not attack, but only looked at himself vigilantly.
Little Gray smiled, jumped twice on the ground, and suddenly jumped forward, jumping next to the gluttonous body. The gluttony was obviously startled and shrank back, but the monkey Ash had already slowly touched its head. To Ash, the hideous and vicious head of the gluttony seemed to be very kind.
Gluttonous grunted as if to complain, but after a few moments it slowly lay back on the ground, resting its head on its arm, as if it were a little drowsy. And Little Ash also leaned on its body, making a 'squeak' chuckle from time to time, slowly touching the gluttonous head.
Between the two spirit beasts, it seems that there is no barrier.
The gaze of the ghost and the beast god slowly withdrew from them, and they were silent for a while.
I don't know how long it took, but the beast god suddenly smiled and said, 'Actually, they are happier than us, aren't they?'
Ghost Li didn't speak. (To be continued.) )
