Chapter 46: Two Ghosts
Sitting on the Purple Thunder Sword, Xiao Wensheng flew all the way south, according to the direction said by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the lofty mountains and mountains swept under Xiao Wensheng's feet, and occasionally a few birds flew by.
As time passed, it had been a long time since there had been any living creature in front of Xiao Wensheng's eyes, and even the plants on the peaks below had begun to become thin, and the leaves of the trees had changed from green to dark gray, as if they had been dead for a long time.
Looking further ahead, there are four peaks in front of them distributed in four directions, and these four peaks are also as the Heavenly Sword Sect Master said, not a single grass grows, or it has grown before, but because of some change, all the creatures have died, and it has become a barren land.
In the center of the four peaks there was a valley shrouded in thick mist, and it was not clear how deep the valley was from the heights, and the remains of wild beasts everywhere made the valley even more terrifying.
Suddenly, Xiao Wensheng felt that the Qiankun Qingguang Ring on his hand was hot, and a blazing white light emanated through the ring, and it disappeared in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, Long Xing's small body carried the remnant sword directly in front of Xiao Wensheng, and the remnant sword body kept shaking and obliquely, emitting bursts of blazing white light.
"What a familiar feeling, boy Xiao, there must be something very important to me in front of me. ”
Long Xing's appearance surprised Xiao Wensheng a little, it was the first time since he got this remnant sword that he had behaved so strangely.
"Damn, how many injuries I have, I can't remember anything, this feels so familiar, but I can't remember it, Xiao boy, you must take me over, I want to see what this familiar thing is, maybe I can remember something." ”
Xiaolong shook his body from side to side, circled around the remnant sword a few times, and said expectantly.
"Since it feels familiar to you, we must go, and I want to go there. ”
"I'll come out when I come across something I'm familiar with. ”
Xiao Wensheng did not rush into the valley, since the Heavenly Sword Sect Sect Master said that the Netherworld Demon Cave in the valley would only be opened when the extreme yin was in the extreme, then there must be his reason, and I am afraid that something unexpected would happen if he entered rashly.
Xiao Wensheng searched for a long time, and found a fairly flat place halfway up the mountain peak in the south and landed here, the location here is good and the vision is also wide, you can quietly wait in this place for the moment when the sun sets in a day, the arrival of the extreme cloud.
He took out the Void Mi Gourd and poured two sips of blood spirit wine into his mouth, sat down cross-legged, and looked at the mistizing in the valley, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Because just now, a passing bird inadvertently flew over the mist in the valley, and after a few wings it stopped agitation, and fell into the valley, and it seemed that it would not survive.
Obviously, the fog in this valley is poisonous.
Picked up the gourd and poured two sips of blood spirit wine into his mouth, now Xiao Wensheng's body has basically reached the Great Perfection under the nourishment of these spirit wines, and his body has not changed in the slightest after drinking so much blood spirit wine every day.
"Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect to be able to smell such a fragrant smell of wine in this place where birds don't, sick ghost, I bet with you, this brother will be generous enough to let the two of us drink it. ”
Just as Xiao Wensheng was looking at the deep valley below in a daze, the sudden appearance of the voice made Xiao Wensheng vigilant in his heart, and it was in such a remote place.
Turning to look behind, there was a rugged mountain road behind them, and two figures appeared not far away.
The two of them were not very old, one of them was wearing a green shirt, the clothes were a little messy, and there were even a few holes in it, which looked a little sloppy, and a dice was tied with a red rope around his waist, swaying casually with his movements, and a grass stalk that he didn't know where to pick from the corner of his mouth, looking cynical.
The other man was dressed in a white shirt, and even on the wilderness and mountains was unusually clean and spotless, and the man looked unusually handsome, but his face was a little pale, which was sickly white.
"Sick ghost, are you okay, just how far have you walked to see you panting like this, I told you not to lie on a woman's belly all day long......"
The man with the grass in his mouth saw the cold gaze of the man he called a sick ghost and the slight movement of his right hand as he stopped talking and muttered: "I'm afraid that you can't do it, even if I don't say it, I don't want to be worried when I eat all day." ”
The man no longer paid attention to the sick ghost, but came to Xiao Wensheng in three steps and two steps, and said excitedly: "I don't know what Brother Tai is called, because of my good addiction, others call me a gambler, we can also meet in this barren mountains and mountains, it can be seen that the fate is not shallow, and I dare to bet you that your gourd must contain good wine, since you have drilled into this deep mountain, your mouth is about to fade out of the bird, how about I take a sip?"
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Wensheng with a wistful expression.
Xiao Wensheng looked at the two of them, there was only one possibility if he met such two people in this kind of place, and these two people were also coming for the Netherworld Demon Cave.
Xiao Wensheng put the gourd into the Qiankun Qingguang Ring, and said lightly: "Wine is to be drunk with friends, and the two of them are not masked, let alone friends, so this wine is still forgotten." ”
Xiao Wensheng said but didn't notice that at the moment when he put the Void Mi Gourd into the Qiankun Qingguang Ring, a light flashed in the eyes of the two of them at the same time, although the storage ring was not a very precious thing, but it was not something that a small sect disciple could have, and the two noticed that the ring on Xiao Wensheng's right hand was obviously extraordinary, and a trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the two. However, he did not escape Xiao Wensheng's eyes, he thought about it for a while and figured out the reason, and quietly covered up the Qiankun Qingguang Ring.
"I made a bet with this sick man that you would give us a drink, and I never lost a bet, brother, don't you make me embarrassed. ”
"I can't hide it, because I am ill, the gourd contains my own medicinal wine, which is not suitable for the two of you, but I have some fruit wine made by myself here, but I can share some with the two of you. ”
Saying that, Xiao Wensheng had an extra gourd in his right hand, which contained the fruit wine brewed by the fifth senior brother Hou Guang, Xiao Wensheng didn't drink it, so he kept it in the storage ring.
The man who was called the sick ghost suddenly coughed a few times, and was about to come over to catch the gourd, with a sinister look in his eyes.
But the gambler took the gourd in front of the sick ghost, shook his head slightly at the sick ghost, and said to Xiao Wensheng with a smile: "Although I haven't been able to taste really good wine, it's better to have these than nothing, thank you brother." ”
After that, he pulled the plug of the gourd and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and the expression on the gambler's face instantly became wonderful.
"Good wine, good wine, is this really made by Brother Tai himself?"
The gambler asked with a surprised face, where did he drink the wine made of the spirit fruit when he usually could only drink ordinary wine in the mortal world, this wine was slightly sweet in the mouth, with a fruity aroma, and most importantly, this wine did not contain spiritual energy, which is rare.
After a few sips, the gambler threw the gourd to the sick ghost, and the sick man sent the gourd to his nose and sniffed it, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Wensheng, took a sip of the gourd, squinted his eyes, and had an expression of enjoyment.
"Brother, do you have such a good wine, we are willing to exchange it with you. ”
Seeing the sick ghost's expression, this gambler was sure that this wine was indeed a good thing, and wanted to get more, if they knew that Xiao Wensheng had better blood spirit wine and high-vintage monkey wine here, the horror would directly give birth to the idea of snatching it.
"There is not much left of this fruit wine, and for the sake of meeting the two of them here, they have already tasted it, and there is really no more to exchange. ”
Xiao Wensheng deeply understands a truth, before the strength is not strong enough, it is better not to expose the wealth easily, it will be a very dangerous thing.
And the cultivation of these two people Xiao Wensheng has secretly investigated, the gambling ghost is about ten layers of qi refining, and the sick man's cultivation is at the peak of the twelfth layer, only a little lower than Xiao Wensheng, but I don't know why, this man's body is very weak, far worse than Xiao Wensheng.
And these two people did not rush to snatch it, precisely because neither of them could find out Xiao Wensheng's true cultivation, so they did not dare to act rashly.
"What do you call a fellow Daoist?" The gambler also sat down casually on his knees not very far away from Xiao Wensheng, with his grass stalk still in his mouth, and asked casually.
"Under the surname Xiao, how do you call the two?"
"Xiao Daoyou, my name is rarely called anymore, you just call me a gambler, just call him a sick ghost. ”
Xiao Wensheng saw that these two people were unwilling to reveal their identities, and there was a trace of ghost aura in the aura of these two people, so he hugged his fists slightly, which was regarded as a return gift, and did not speak again, turning his gaze to the deep valley.
The gambler and the sick ghost also chose to sit down cross-legged not far from Xiao Wensheng, and the gambler's eyes drifted towards Xiao Wensheng from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao Wensheng felt that gaze and didn't pay attention to it, the cultivation of the two was obviously inferior to himself, but he was not afraid, so he simply closed his eyes and concentrated on refining his qi.
After about a pillar of incense, the gambler suddenly shouted loudly: "The yin qi in this place is so heavy, I think the two of you should not cultivate, so as not to trouble the yin qi entering the body." ”
And Xiao Wensheng discovered this as soon as he came here, but the Haoran Righteous Qi he cultivated was the method of the Yang Dynasty, and he was not afraid of this Yin Qi.
Now when I heard the gambler speak, I still opened my eyes and looked at him.
"Brother Xiao, sitting so idly waiting for the arrival of that extremely yin time, why don't we make a bet and pass the time?"
The gambler saw Xiao Wensheng open his eyes and look at him, and the gambling addiction began to attack again, and looked at Xiao Wensheng eagerly.
"Sorry, I never bet!"
Xiao Wensheng said decisively, telling the truth, also because he didn't want to gamble with this person.
"Don't say it so decisively, Brother Xiao must also be here for the treasure in this Netherworld Demon Cave, let's bet on whether this treasure will belong to the two of us or fall into your hands. ”
"Oh, then you must be betting that the treasure in this cave will fall into your hands!"
"If you want to bet on yourself, how about it, dare to bet?" this person deserves to be called a gambler, and when he mentioned the word gambling, his eyes flashed with a terrifying light.
"This bet has to be a little bit of a lottery, what are you betting on?" Xiao Wensheng said with interest.
"If you lose, give me the fruit wine of the ten gourds just now. ”
The gambler thought for a moment and said.
"What if you lose?" said Xiao Wensheng.
"Haha, I've gambled countless times but never lost, this issue is basically not in my consideration, so let's do it, if I lose, this demon pill will be given to you, this is what I plan to use to refine my spiritual weapon." ”
As he spoke, the gambler took out an egg-sized, dark demon beast Neidan.
"That's fair, and in terms of value, I took advantage of it, so I don't know if this brother wants to gamble together?"
As he spoke, Xiao Wensheng turned his conversation to the sick ghost who had been closing his eyes and paying attention to the two.
When the sick ghost heard Xiao Wensheng's words, his slightly closed eyes opened in vain, and a ghostly light flashed away.
"Since this Taoist friend is interested, then I will also accompany you to gamble once. ”
After saying that, the sick man suddenly had an extra piece of metal in his hand that shimmered with a strong red glow, almost the size of a football, and as soon as this metal appeared, the temperature around him instantly increased a lot.
"This is the essence of heavenly fire, and the flying sword forged from this essence has a great possibility of giving birth to a fire spirit sword spirit and becoming a true spirit sword, and I will use this thing to bet on the ring on your right index finger. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wensheng's eyes narrowed, but he didn't expect that this sick ghost would actually take a fancy to the Qiankun Qingguang Ring that the sect master had rewarded him with at a glance.
"Although your Heavenly Fire Spirit is good, it is still a little worse than my ring, this ring means a lot to me, I won't gamble with him, I have a lot of fruit wine here, you can take something of equivalent value to gamble." ”
Hearing this, the sick ghost didn't say anything, and took out a few good condensing pills as gambling items, although it was not of much use to Xiao Wensheng, it was better than nothing, so he didn't say anything more.
