Chapter 85, the spirit lamp of the deep valley
Xingchen and Dong Xue'er chased after the door, but saw that the light cluster that Miao'er had turned into flew extremely fast, becoming the size of a firefly and about to disappear.
Xingchen was fast, sacrificed the flying sword, and stepped on the flying sword with Dong Xue'er, the flying sword really soared into the air, like a sword off the string, chasing the light group that Miao'er turned into and gradually came out of Purple Moon City, flying to the top of a canyon, the canyon was full of dense forests, the light group only flashed a few times, suddenly fell into the forest, and disappeared.
Seeing the situation, Xingchen hurriedly lowered the flying sword, and after Dong Xue'er screamed, the two of them landed steadily.
This dense black forest, full of sharp-leaved pines, shrouded in moonlight, mist drifting through the forest, sometimes with the wailing of wild birds, or the roar of awakened wild beasts.
Dong Xue'er held a sword in her hand, looked around, shivered, and said to Xingchen: "What kind of place is this, why is it so eerie and terrifying, I think we should go back!"
Xingchen strengthened his courage and said: "With me here, what are you afraid of, what demons and monsters dare to come, I will kill him with a sword, teach him to split into corpses, and return his soul to Jiuye!"
Dong Xue'er hid her cherry and smiled: "If you really see any monsters, I'm afraid that you will flash faster than me, don't talk big!"
Xingchen grinned and said: "I'm not talking big, even if the thousand demons of Demon Cloud City come, I can fight with him for dozens of miles, I have drawn a spirit rune here, if the monster comes, just stick it on him, keep him like a puppet, and don't move." ”
Dong Xue'er just giggled at him, but she didn't talk to Xingchen, Xingchen cut off a piece of firewood with the sword in his hand, made a fire, lit it, and used it as a lighting pathfinder, because in this deep valley and dense forest, the moonlight can't shine into the forest at all, and the front of the forest is dark and secluded, which makes people feel that there is no direction.
Xingchen suddenly noticed that there was a tree in front of him, the bark on the tree was stripped off, and a few words were engraved on the bark crookedly. Xingchen was frightened and took two steps back.
"Apprentice, look!" Dong Xue'er pointed to a stone tablet on the ground and said, "There are words on this stone tablet!"
Xingchen looked at the firelight in his hand close to the stone tablet, and the words "Yin Void Valley" were written on it, and Xingchen sighed: "No wonder the yin qi here is so heavy! It turns out to be a ghost place again, I don't know if there are people living here?"
Dong Xue'er smiled: "I'm afraid that if someone lives here, he won't live long, unless he is crazy!"
At this time, the cold wind was swishing, where was Xingchen in the mood to joke, he was originally here to find Miao'er, but he didn't expect Miao'er to live in this ghost place, is she a ghost?
"Shhhhhhh
Xingchen held his breath and listened, and sure enough, there was an old man, singing in a desolate voice, not like a song, or an ancient poem, but this tone was pathetic, which added to the terrifying atmosphere in the sky above the empty valley.
"Now, are you scared?" Dong Xue'er giggled again, but she was very bold and kept following Xingchen.
Xingchen shook his head, trying to make himself more sober, and he said, "Why should I be afraid? I'm just afraid that you will not follow me if you are timid." ”
Dong Xue'er was slightly stunned and said: "Why don't I go with you, don't go with you, stay alone in this barren mountains and mountains, isn't that asking for hardship?"
The two of them talked and laughed, and walked through a small depression in the forest, and then went diagonally upward, and the terrain in this valley was not very steep, but it was always undulating, and the forest path was winding and turning.
"Hey, how can there be a small hill in this mountain forest?" Dong Xue'er asked in surprise, not far ahead, the small hill stood in the middle of the road.
"It's not a mountain, but it's a grave!" Xingchen explained, which startled Dong Xue'er.
"It seems that this person doesn't understand feng shui, yin and yang, but he built the grave in the middle of the road!" Xingchen said to himself as he walked with the Colorful Shura Sword in his hand.
"This tomb is well repaired, blocking the way and robbing money, but the people in this tomb have already gone out!" A dry and hoarse voice, this voice seemed to be the voice of the old man who sang just now.
Xingchen looked carefully, and there was a figure on the head of the tomb, and the man was sitting in the middle of the tomb with his hair scattered, and a big hole was dug on one side of the tomb, and the tomb was empty, as the old man said, the people in the tomb had gone out.
Xingchen turned back to Dong Xue'er and smiled: "You are right tonight, the only living person is a madman, a singing madman sitting on the grave." ”
Dong Xue'er knew that Xingchen was deliberately joking to make herself less afraid, she looked at the person on the grave and said, "You said that the person in the grave has gone out, is the person who crawled out of the grave you?"
The old man on the grave smiled and said, "The person in the grave has been buried for hundreds of years, and he is a thousand-year-old corpse, how can he be poor? I and the little brother in front of you are old acquaintances. ”
It turns out that this old man is a Taoist, not only a Taoist, but also a Taoist who Xingchen knows, so who will this person be?
Xingchen was in confusion, and the Taoist said: "Xingchen Master and nephew, don't you know the poor Dao? I am a Songhe Daoist!"
Xingchen approached, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Uncle Songhe, Uncle Songhe, didn't you go back to Zhongzhou? Why are you still catching ghosts here?"
Songhe Daoist shook his head and sighed: "Don't hide it from my nephew, Poor Dao has been dissolute and uninhibited in his life, although I have learned Taoism and joined the True Pole Gate, but I always feel that my cultivation is too shallow, and it will be a shame to go back! ”
Xingchen smiled: "Actually, we are also chasing a goblin, but we don't know what kind of demon it is, she turned into a ball of light, flew into this forest, and disappeared." ”
Songhe Daoren was shocked: "Could it be her?"
Xingchen asked anxiously, "Uncle Songhe, do you know what the origin of this monster is?"
Songhe Daoist paused and said: "In this Yin Void Valley, there are only two monsters, in addition to this thousand-year-old corpse, there is also a little demon, it is the rabbit next to this tomb who has cultivated into essence, her name is Miao'er." ”
Xingchen was overjoyed when he heard this, and it turned out that he had really found this place, and this was actually the rabbit's exquisite nest.
Songhe Daoist got up and said: "The relationship between this rabbit spirit and the thousand-year-old corpse is very good, in order to cultivate, that Miao'er often collects yang qi to replenish the corpse to replenish Yuanyang, the corpse is already rotten, if you get these yang qi, you can restore some damaged flesh and skin, if he is restored to a human body, his attack power is difficult to estimate, it is possible that the three of us together can't help him." ”
Xingchen was startled when he heard what Songhe Daoist said: "Then we should find them as soon as possible!"
Songhe Daoist said unhurriedly: "To find them, in fact, it is not difficult, I have a spirit lamp here, this spirit lamp can smell the smell of corpses, and it is very effective for the dead spirit of the thousand-year-old corpse!"
At this moment, the moonlight is cold, there is no wind in the sky, but the spirit lamp seems to be able to sense the direction, and naturally travels in one direction, the Songhe Daoist saw that the spirit lamp was flying too fast and couldn't catch up with it, so he deliberately made a Dao method to control the movement speed of the lamp, he turned back to Xingchen and Dong Xue'er and said, you two, follow closely, the rabbit spirit and the thousand-year-old corpse are in front.
The lantern flew westward, and the lower the valley went, the more gloomy the forest became.
"Can you two smell the corpse?" asked the Songhe Daoist looking back.
Xingchen and Dong Xue'er shook each other and said: "I haven't smelled the slightest corpse gas, but there is a cold air coming, and now my body feels a little cold." ”
Songhe said: "This is the corpse cold, which means that the thousand-year-old corpse is around here." ”
The three of them went over a small mountain col again, and there were four or five wooden houses in front of them, it turned out that there were still people in this deep valley, and the Songhe Daoist was suspicious in his heart, but suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking from the house, could it be that there are really people here, this was said by Dong Xue'er before.
The strange thing is that the Songhe Daoist spirit lamp was hanging above the house, no longer flying forward, the Songhe Daoist cast a spell, collected the spirit lamp, and said to Xingchen and Dong Xue'er: "Alas, it's old, it's useless, and this spirit lamp also has a time when it fails." ”
Xingchen said: "How can this spirit lamp fail, I suspect that this thousand-year-old corpse is hidden here." ”
Dong Xue'er walked to Xingchen's side, nodded and said, "I agree with you, let's go in and take a look, and everyone should be vigilant." ”
When the three of them came to the courtyard of the house, the sound of the dog barking was still more than enough, and the more they barked, the more fierce it became, it was really a vicious dog of the Gu family!
Then a tall, black, shirtless man dressed as a hunter came out and called the dog, but the dog whined, and went back to the kennel, and when the hunter saw that someone was coming outside, he came to the gate of the yard and opened the door.
Just as he came to open the door, there was another cry of a baby in the room, presumably the baby of the house was awakened by the barking of the dog, and a tall woman came out with a fat white child in her arms, and this woman was the wife of the hunter.
When Xingchen saw that there were children here, he secretly thought, this thousand-year-old corpse must not be here, otherwise the children of this family would have been eaten by the corpse.
The hunter asked from afar, "May I ask who you are, what is the matter with you so late at night?" It is too late at night, I have children at home, don't come to disturb me, go back!"
Songhe Daoist saluted him and said: "The owner may have misunderstood our intentions, our group is chasing the thousand-year-old corpse, this vicious thing may be hidden in your house, please open the door, and the poor road will come to sweep away the evil obstacles for you and capture this monster!"
When the hunter heard this, he was not alarmed, and arched his hand: "I think you should please go back, our husband and wife have lived here for so long, and they are all safe and sound, where did some demons and monsters come from, demons and evil things!"
