The masked man bent down and asked, "Are you Qing'er?"

Qing'er nodded, and said faintly: "Thank you for saving your life, but Qing'er's life and death have long been indistinguishable, so why should you bother?"

"The old man doesn't understand, why is Qing'er so pessimistic about life and death?"

"Xianggong has gone, and he hasn't even left a whole corpse, it was Qing'er who hurt him, and now he is living alone in the world, but the night lovesickness is worse than death. ”

"Are you married?" the masked man asked in surprise.

He admits that he is Qing'er's father-in-law, which is enough, and he is also a father-in-law in this life if he is not married. ”

"Oh, I see. The masked man muttered to himself.

"Engong Gao's surname, why did you come to this Green Snake Valley?" Qing'er asked with a sigh.

"Elder Ben-figure, just call it 'Elder'. The masked man removed his gray robe, hat, and mask, revealing his true face, and the nine heads behind him also appeared in red robes and returned to their original costumes.

"You give the young girl a healing dressing. Elder Fang commanded.

A red-clothed head Tuo stepped forward to pull out an arrow for her to stop the bleeding and put on a golden medicine to bandage it, Elder Fang untied the fishing net and released the big green snake, although it had a lot of arrows in its body, but it was not in the way, but it was not in the way, I saw its body shake and shrink into its original appearance - the emerald green green bamboo cane.

Qing'er picked up the green bamboo cane and invited Elder Fang and his party to the top of the main hall.

"Qing'er, can you tell the deity about your father-in-law?" asked Elder Fang with a smile.

"Alas," Qing'er sighed and burst into tears, "Xianggong's name is Mo Remnant," she recalled her acquaintance with Mo Remnant and everything that happened later.

Elder Fang didn't speak for a long time after listening, and finally said softly: "Qing'er, is it too rash for you to assert that a person has passed away without seeing his bones with your own eyes. ”

Qing'er said with tears in her eyes: "The elder doesn't need to comfort Qing'er, now I am very content with meeting Xianggong in my dreams every night." ”

Elder Fang shook his head with a wry smile, turned his face and instructed the red-clothed Toutuo: "Go and bring that red-clothed little dwarf in." ”

Not long after, a Toutuo walked in with a petrified red-fanned old monster and threw him in front of Elder Fang.

Elder Fang stretched out his hand and pressed on the "stone statue" to lift the ban, and then asked, "Red Monster, what are you doing all the way from Wuzhi Mountain to the Central Plains?"

The old monster moved his muscles and bones, and said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, the old man originally went to Zhongnan Mountain to meet friends, and he said what he said about the secret book of martial arts by hearsay, so he wanted to join in the fun by the way, but he met an old monk like you, and his skills are not as good as others, and he thinks he is unlucky." ”

"Zhongnan Mountain?" Elder Fang pondered, "It is said that Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains is also known as 'Earth Lung Mountain'. Zhou Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang of the Western Han Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, Chongyang, the king of Quanzhen, it is no accident that many masters outside the world have lived in seclusion here, the aura here is the best in the Central Plains, it can be seen that the "lungs of the earth" is not false, and the deity has long wanted to take a look. Red Monster, who are you going to meet?"

"During the Huangfan old monster Zhongzi period, not only the old man, but also the 'five' old monster gathered in Zhongnan Mountain on the Holy Day. ”

"Oh, what is the matter?" Elder Fang seemed interested.

"It's nothing, it's just a dinner, a meal. "The old red monster is reluctant to say more.

Elder Fang nodded: "Well, it's rare, it's natural to have a good meal when friends get together, let's go, it's a lot of fun to get together without one of the five old monsters." ”

"Are you really willing to let the old man go?" the old man wondered.

"Of course, we have no grudges between us, so why bother you. ”

"Okay, the old man owes the old monk a personal favor, if you want the old man to help in the future, just say it," the old man turned away, walked a few steps and turned back and asked, "Who is the person who the old man burned?"

"The mirror image of the deity. ”

"Understood. The little dwarf rolled out of the hall with a red iron cylinder on his back like a fireball, and disappeared into the bamboo forest in an instant.

"Elder, just let him go?" asked the red-clothed head, puzzled.

"The deity has heard that the Central Plains 'five' old monster gathers once every few years, so why let the family be disappointed, maybe the deity will also go to join in the fun. ”

Elder Fang then inquired about what happened to the Holy Infant Niang on the top of the wooden city and the people who worked in the valley, and Qing'er told the truth.

"The deity also wants to see the astrological chart of the boulder, can Lao Qing'er lead the way. ”

"Qing'er has vowed not to go out of the valley again for the rest of her life. ”

"And why?"

"Green Snake Valley has all the memories of Qing'er to Xianggong," Qing'er said, her eyes filled with tears and she whimpered.

Elder Fang secretly said in his heart, this Mo Mo is really true, there is such an infatuated woman, but she wants to cheat her death and hide her name, is it because she is a snake demon? Is there any other woman in the world who is so amorous as a green snake, and she can't bear to let her end up with lovesickness and tears. He wanted to tell the truth, but he didn't want to say it first, what should he do? For the first time in his life, he felt torn between a dilemma.

"Qing'er, the deity is here for a few days at most and then is about to leave, in case those people come into the Green Snake Valley to disturb again, how should you deal with it?" he asked.

"Qing'er is not afraid, at most she will pursue her husband. ”

Elder Fang hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind and said: "The deity is practicing the 'Yin Demon Skill' of the highest level of the 'Golem', you know that people will go to the underworld after death, and this ** can make your divine consciousness penetrate the void to get there. ”

Qing'er was stunned when she heard this, so she asked, "Can the elder's divine sense go to the underworld to help Qing'er find Xianggong?"

"Absolutely. ”

When Qing'er heard this, she immediately knelt down on her knees, and pleaded in her mouth: "Can the elder teach Qing'er the 'Golem', Qing'er will go to the underworld to find his husband." ”

"Do you want to worship the deity as a teacher?"

"Qing'er is willing to worship the elders as teachers, as long as Qing'er can see Xianggong, she is willing to be a cow and a horse. ”

"If you become a deity**, you will leave the Green Snake Valley and follow the teacher to wander in the north and the sea, which is not only hard but also will encounter danger at any time, are you also willing?"

"Qing'er is willing. ”

"Yin Demon Skills are not something that can be learned in three or five years. ”

"Only one day can I see Xianggong, even if it is ten years, a hundred years and a thousand years, Qing'er has no regrets!"

Elder Fang was finally moved, he helped Qing'er with both hands, and said: "It's rare that you have such a deep affection for Mo Yan, how can there be such true love in the world? ”

"Thank you, Master. Qing'er sobbed.

"In the future, let's call Elder Buddha-figure. ”

Qing'er muttered in her mouth: "Xianggong, wait for Qing'er, if I find you one day, I will stay with you, even if it is the underworld." ”

Alas, Elder Fang sighed secretly in his heart, Jin Daiyuan once said in the poem: "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death?" Although Qing'er is a snake demon, her loyalty and sincerity to love far exceed that of any woman in the world.

The next time, under the leadership of Qing'er, Elder Fang and the nine red-clothed heads climbed to the top of the wooden city.

"Sure enough, it's a spiritual passage sign. Elder Fang said as he looked at the dense cracks on the boulder.

"The Holy Child was sitting on top of a boulder and was eaten by the blue-headed monster. Qing'er pointed to the boulder and said.

"Okay, the deity should also sit down and see what kind of monster is coming from the spirit world. ”

Elder Fang instructed the red-clothed leaders to get ready, and only wait until noon to trap the spirit beasts.

"Qing'er, the deity has thought about it, the Yin Demon Skill starts from laying the foundation, and it may take decades to reach the mirror image and the final Golem, but if you only practice the method of crossing the underworld in the 'Golem', it won't take so long. Elder Fang said to Qing'er.

"Elder, how long will it take for Qing'er to only learn the method of going to the underworld?"

"Half a year to a year. ”

Qing'er cried with joy when she heard this, and said with a whimper: "Qing'er Xie Elder is complete." ”

"But you have to wait until the deity has gathered the Five Elements Demon Pill, you can practice some necessary introductory secret techniques first. ”

"Please Elder teach Qing'er now. Qing'er pleaded urgently.

"Qing'er, where did the 'dead man's water' you gave to those dead people in the valley come from?"

"It was prepared by Qing'er herself with green snake saliva and salivation. ”

"What a smart girl, the Siamese secret technique is actually similar to it, it is nothing more than refining from corpse bones, corpse oil, corpse brains, fetuses, and male and female essence blood, etc., you have a certain foundation and a good Wu surname, I believe that in the near future you will be able to meet that Mo Xianggong. Elder Fang smiled meaningfully.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Elder Fang sat on the top of the boulder, and when the aura vortex reached its extreme, he threw a powder keg into the center of the vortex, and after the huge explosion, the void was still the same as before.

Elder Fang stared blankly into the air, and did not say a word for a long time.

"Let's try again tonight. He said silently.

It was night, the moon and stars were scarce, the breeze was warm, and Elder Fang took all the heads to the top of the wooden city early.

At midnight, Elder Fang blasted again on the top of the boulder, but the void in the smoke and dust was still the same, not even a small crack was there, this situation had never happened before, what was wrong?

In the next few days, he led the red-clothed heads to work continuously, but he never managed to open the void, and at this moment he realized that the gate of time and space at the top of the wooden city had been closed, and he didn't know how many years he would have to wait for the next opening.

"The weakest point between the two voids is the spiritual passage, but this passage is constantly changing, and this place will not be reopened, at least in the short term. Elder Fang looked rather frustrated.

"Elder, what are we going to do, are we going to Borneo?" asked the red-robed head.

"No, the deity is going to the place where the aura is most abundant in the Central Plains, the Qinling Mountains, to see if this place known as the 'earth lung' is worthy of its name. ”

"Yes, Elder. ”

Returning to the valley, everyone began to pack up and prepare to leave, Qing'er returned to the room and picked up a bag on her back, carrying the green bamboo cane in her hand.

"Xianggong, Qing'er is leaving, if you come to our new house again in your dream at night, you won't be able to find Qing'er, you will be sad and lost" Qing'er took out a brush dipped in ink and wrote a line on the wall: Xianggong, Qing'er has gone to Zhongnan Mountain with the elders, you are waiting for Qing'er in the underworld, and you will be able to meet in a few months.

Silently turned around and looked at the deep and quiet Green Snake Valley, Qing'er was reluctant to give up, after all, she had lived here for nearly a thousand years, if she hadn't met Xianggong, she might still be with those people year after year, day after day, and there was no difference between the living and the dead.

Out of the cave, Elder Fang placed a ban at the entrance of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was gone, replaced by a mottled stone wall and the mountain peak, no one would have thought that this would be the entrance to the Green Snake Valley.

Elder Fang, Red-clothed Toutuo and Qing'er went down the mountain through the reckless primeval forest and went straight to Qinguan in Shaanxi. (To be continued.) )
