Chapter 225: Two Tigers
The space in the cave is broken and messy, like countless broken mirrors intertwined, and you have to slow down when you enter it, and you can be cut into pieces by the spatial rift if you can't walk a few feet away.
And these space fragments can not be distinguished by the naked eye, and it is difficult for the divine sense to find, just as a poem says, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain, and now I am in this space, how can I find that this space is actually an incomplete existence, and when you go to the edge, it is too late, the space crack has divided you, Yang Jiye entered the cave, and immediately had a feeling that it was difficult to move an inch, calm down, and the divine sense was sensitive to the extreme, everything within a radius of three zhang was clearly illuminated, and the whole dark world was immersed in a strange atmosphere, which made him feel a little more cautious。
This cave is obviously spreading like the depths of the earth's core, but the water in some strata is flowing horizontally, and it doesn't know where it is going, as if it suddenly turns, and there is no trace of it, and it flows into another world.
"If you go on like this, you can't go into the depths for a long time, and it's very easy for people to find it. Yang Jiye frowned slightly, but he didn't know anything about the road ahead, and he didn't dare to move.
He pondered in the void for a moment, and suddenly felt that the space was filled with a familiar breath, although it was extremely weak, but he could clearly feel that it was the breath of the Yellow Spring, and his heart suddenly seized this opportunity, tracing back to the source and sinking down along the gas of the Yellow Spring, the breath of the Yellow Spring is the water of the Yellow Spring River, which is the gathering of the endless memories of hundreds of millions of living beings in the world, and everything in the world has the idea of survival, yearning for the human world, so once the Yellow Spring Qi is free from the shackles of the Netherworld, it will escape to the world, because of this, as long as you follow the source of the Yellow Spring, you can also find the location of the Netherworldand will not be lost in any way.
Taking this as a clue, Yang Jiye, who was erratic in his heart, suddenly increased his confidence and fell into the abyss.
If you want to go deeper, the degree of fragmentation of this space is more and more serious, and many places even leave only a gap for people to pass sideways, the space is staggered, and there are endless forks in the road, but Yang Jiye seems to have a spirit in his heart, without thinking, like a smart swimming fish, walking quickly in this broken space, he is very stable at the moment, he is hiding here, it is impossible for anyone to find it, even if he knows that he is hiding here, if he breaks in rashly without clues, he can die of self-trapping. However, he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that he had already been followed, and this person actually had a spiritual treasure with a hidden aura on his body, which concealed his divine sense.
Not far behind him, the Xuanji Daoist Imperial Sword followed, and the two were only more than ten zhang apart, but the tortuous and broken space completely blocked the sight of the two.
The mysterious Taoist suddenly broke into this cave, and was also startled by the terrifying scene in it, and was almost untied by a subtle and indistinguishable spatial rift. At the beginning, in the underground abyss, when the Qingxuan Daoist hysterically shouted Yang Jiye's name, he also expected that the dragon vein stone pillar of Puyang City was very likely to be on this person, and now he had a huge amount of vitality looted from the Xuanjie Daoist and Zhang Qian, and the pure yang aura emanating from his body was extremely strong, which also confirmed her previous guess. The Xuanji Daoist followed him all the way, naturally not to see the excitement, but to have a plan.
He was the first to leave the abyss, and naturally discovered the earth-shattering battle between Zhang Qian and Yang Jiye earlier than the Qingxuan Dao people.
When she quietly approached, he happened to see Yang Jiye swing his sword and break his arm, and then use the escape technique to escape, he was shocked by Zhang Qian's identity and incomparably strong strength, but the purpose of his trip was to seize the dragon vein stone pillar, and the center of gravity was naturally on Yang Jiye, seeing him fleeing, he immediately set off to chase after him, but he didn't see the scene of Zhang Qian's soul dementor killing the Xuanjie Daoist, even if he was present, the soul spell was extremely weird, I am afraid it was difficult to think of anything, because the Xuanjie Daoist himself was a dying person. And when the Qingxuan Daoist came to ask the reason and there were some contradictions, he set off to chase, Zhang Qian rubbed on the road for a long time, and then fell far behind the Xuanji Daoist.
When the Xuanji Daoist caught up with Yang Jiye, she happened to encounter King Yan mobilizing the Yin soldiers, and she didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only temporarily press the killing machine, and in order to hide her whereabouts, she had to slow down, and Yang Jiye, who was already under the sword, was able to get out again.
After he lurked through the Yin Soldier Array, Yang Jiye had already entered the cave.
Seeing that the situation in the cave was complicated and full of dangers, the Xuanji Daoist naturally did not want to follow him to break into it without a head and a brain, and was about to approach, but he never expected Yang Jiye to be so familiar with this passage.
The space in this cave is staggered, like a dog's tooth, the two are separated by more than ten zhang away, even the range of the mortal bow and crossbow is more than enough, the swordsmanship of the Xuanji Taoist is Xuan, and the head of a person is taken from a hundred miles away is like a bag to take things, but it can't be used here, and the divine consciousness will be cut into pieces within a few zhang distance, how to control the flying sword? She could only get close, hold the sword in her hand, and assassinate her, but as soon as she moved, Yang Jiye, who had been standing still and seemed lost, suddenly fell into the abyss, looking dangerous, but in fact, those spatial cracks didn't even touch the placket of his clothes, and the Xuanji Daoist was horrified, and he couldn't understand how he did it.
In these fragmented spaces, the only thing that the divine sense can sense is this range, not to mention the south, east, west, and west, which are turned upside down, and sometimes they can't even distinguish between the top and the bottom, the left and the right.
How did he discern the path and avoid the tiny rifts in space?
Rao is Xuanji Taoist is a last resort, scheming, and can't guess, but in this stunned moment, the distance that was finally shortened was pulled away again, and the assassination plan came to naught, she hesitated slightly, now chase or not, Yang Jiye is seriously injured, this is the best time to kill him, if he recovers, after seeing the fighting method between him and Zhang Qian, Xuanji Taoist is not sure that he can kill him, but chasing into the depths of the cave, this terrain is like a labyrinth, even if he catches up and kills him, and gets the dragon vein stone pillar, whether he can leave safely is also a questionThere is no time to think about it at this moment, and if you delay for a while, this Yang Jiye's breath will disappear from his divine sense.
Her eyes closed slightly, and a cold light suddenly flashed in her autumn-like eyes, and she chased after her, the matter has come to this, and it is really not worth giving up again.
He tracked the Qingxuan Dao people and broke into the Yin Soldier Array, I don't know how much risk he had, and now that the enemy is clear and I am dark, it is a God-given opportunity, and if he misses today, he will definitely regret it for life.
After biting the trace of breath on Yang Jiye's body, along the traces he left before, these hidden killing intentions, The chaotic fork in the road can't affect her much, in order to leave a back path for herself, every time she passes through a spatial crack, the surrounding environment changes, she will leave a shallow sword mark on the rock walls on both sides, but she doesn't dare to guarantee that this method will be useful, because these broken spaces are changing all the time, just like the dense ice floes squeezed on the water surface, although there is not much room for movement, but it is enough to produce changes, but once it has been decided, there is no way out, Yang Jiye is blindfolded and walks to the dark, she is not the same.
Qingyang County, in a big mansion.
The candlelight in the hall is warm, although the cypress trees in the courtyard have withered, but the ground is very clean, there is not a single dead branch, not even a little dust, the maids and child servants under the cloister stand in the well, and there is the sound of silk and bamboo in the house, as if a rich and noble family, and the gloom of the whole city, The desolation seems out of place, as if this place is blessed by the gods of Zhou Tian, and the yin gods and evil ghosts dare not disturb it, there is indeed a noble person living in this mansion, but it is not a heavenly immortal, because with the habit of immortals, he will never disdain to be in the same stream with ghosts, and he lives here is the Yan King, who is the top of the five ghost kings in the ghost city of Xudu, Yang Jiye did not guess wrong, and it was quite wise to leave.
The furnishings in the house are elegant, quite ancient, the bronze candlesticks are separated on both sides, the candlelight is full, and there are several cases of black lacquer placed between the candlesticks, only the height of the knees, which can only allow people to kneel behind the desk.
The main seat is set behind the beams and pillars, separated by a curtain, and the oblique side of the curtain is the position of the musician, and there is a ghost girl who is playing the harp.
A middle-aged man in a dark robe, walking slowly on the soft scarlet stall with bare feet, holding a copper bud in one hand, bare his chest and abdomen, his head is scattered, and he gently shakes the copper bud with the melody of the ghost Ji Fuqin, and the mellow wine is sprinkled on the ground, and he doesn't care, the silk robe is like flowing water, gently dragging on the stall, making his whole person look free and uninhibited, and there is another weird and charming, but the facial lines are extremely masculine, as if the knife is chiseled with an axe, the sword eyebrows are into the sideburns, and the eyes are sharp, like the cold light brought up by the long knife out of the sheath。
Behind him, a rickety old man slowly followed, carrying a copper kettle.
Although the appearance is also extremely real, when the candlelight flickers, you can find that the old man's body seems to be somewhat transparent, leaving only an extremely faint shadow on the ground.
This is wearing a dark robe, like a pampered person is the prestigious Yan Wang, and the old man behind him is a strategist who followed him back then, after the defeat and death, and the Yan King turned to cultivate the ghost road, although the name is not well known, in fact, this person's cultivation has far surpassed the last of the five ghost kings in the ghost city of Xudu, King Zheng, is also a ghost fairy, both as a strategist, not only as the main general to share worries and solve problems, of course, but also to question, because the main general's decision-making often has improper considerations, such as the previous Yan Wang issued a military order, which made him extremely puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask for an understanding: "General, now we are hiding in Qingyang County, in order to seek a place to survive in the troubled times, in order to develop in the future, the previous mobilization of Yin soldiers has exposed our hiding place, which is extremely inappropriate, and we will not kill the offender, but let him leave calmly, why is this?"
King Yan had a great plan, and finally got out of the suppression and house arrest of the blessed land of Pingdu Mountain, and got out of the ghost town of Xudu, and after the ghost trouble subsided, he did not plan to go back to Xudu, and was ready to stay in the human world and create a foundation.
This thought, the old strategist who has followed him for more than a thousand years naturally understands.
In the future, the ghost plague will subside, and the human world will inevitably leave some desolate places, which is the fertile soil for ghost cultivation to take root and survive, but in the process of calming down, countless ghost cultivators will inevitably be cleaned. The righteous path freed up his hands, it is the day of the limit, so after King Yan came out of the ghost city of Xudu, he kept a low profile all the way, he had 100,000 Yin soldiers in his hands, and the order of the righteous path collapsed, and it was easy to establish a huge force in the world, and even invade a famous mountain and a big city, expel the gods and spirits in it, and enjoy the vitality of heaven and earth.
But he didn't, and even when he passed by Puyang City, the earth had already perished, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was eaten by the ghosts, and he didn't have the heart to be greedy, if he stayed here, how could King Jing compete with him?
He traveled all the way west until he arrived at a small border town like Qingyang County, and then stopped.
did not let their own forces take root here, but occupied a mansion in the city as a place to stay, let those yin gods fight in the dark, never intervene, really like a rich man who does not ask about the world, but now for a person who crossed the border blatantly, and unbelievably mobilized the yin soldiers to fight, so that this old strategist is really a little bit of this mind, Yan Wang is the leading general of the Muyun family in ancient times, naturally it is not so easy to be provoked to anger, the most basic quality of the commander of the three armies is not to be alarmed, always keep a clear head, not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with himself at all, Yang Jiye killed those Yin gods are not Yan Wang's subordinates, why should he be angry。
Even if he is angry, it will not mobilize the Yin soldiers, and the person is already seriously injured, even if he goes into battle, he can kill him.
Mobilizing troops and horses to besiege and kill is inevitably suspected of making a big fuss.
What he couldn't understand the most was that since the Yin soldiers were dispatched, they should have moved the heart of killing, why did they let him go.
These 100,000 Yin soldiers have been running in for thousands of years, and there is no gap in the battle array, even if the Yuan Shen and Earth Immortals, in addition to relying on the means of Tongtian to tear apart the battle array, they can't escape, Yang Jiye can leave unharmed, except for the order of the main general, deliberately let this person live, there is no other possibility, the old strategist has followed King Yan for a thousand years, not to mention the roundworm in his stomach, but also a shadow behind him, although some things have not been said to him, but he can also see clearly.
"Although this person has a pure yang aura and a strong pure yang aura, he is not a person in the righteous path. King Yan turned around and handed the bronze cup forward, allowing the old man to pour a full cup.
The old man frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't find any flaws in Yang Jiye before that could prove his identity, and he didn't know where King Yan saw it, but since he was saying so, he would never say anything, but this did not dispel his worries, and said: "It's not the right way, that's the people in the demon path, but even so, we don't dare to guarantee that this son will not reveal our hiding place, and the people in the demon path may not be interested in us. At the critical moment of the survival of the Dao system, it will still be unanimous to the outside world. The old man said worriedly that this kind of thing was not without precedent.
A hundred years ago, a demon cultivator appeared in the Southern Barbarian Maze, and with a bit of strength, he invaded Shuzhou and poisoned the creatures.
As a result, this demon cultivator did not die at the hands of the righteous path, but was killed by the notorious Xiaoweishan Demon Sect, and afterwards Xiaoweishan also publicized the matter everywhere, and even there were songs and rumors in the world, which made the righteous sect lose face.
If the people of the Demon Sect knew the hiding place of King Yan, regardless of whether he had committed evil deeds after leaving the ghost city of Xudu, just by virtue of the prominent name of the head of the five ghost kings, countless people would rush to take his head, just like the tragic demon cultivator. It is not unreasonable for him to be so worried, if he simply thinks that the demon path is opposed, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, this is a big mistake and too naïve.
However, when King Yan heard this, he just shook his head and did not agree with his statement.
"It's no longer what it used to be. King Yan took a sip of wine, flicked his sleeves and motioned for the ghost queen to step back for the time being, and then said straight to the point: "Now the two demon paths are not in the same bed, and they also have their own dreams!"
"How does the general know?" said the old strategist, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You can't see through such a simple situation, is it possible that the ghost city of Xudu has lived in seclusion for thousands of years, and you don't ask about the world, so that your brain is not as good as it was at the beginning?" In the past, the two Demon Dao Sects were like two tigers living together in a jungle, and the two sides were like brothers and sisters, and they joined forces to drive away other creatures in this jungle, and since then the tiger has become the king of the jungle, and then the stronger tiger of the Dao Sect does not want anyone to share his territory and rights, so he bites the weaker Demon Sect and drives it to the corner, but there is no dare to kill it all, and the dog is in a hurry and jumps over the wall, not to mention a tiger?"
"So the Dao Sect has been able to destroy the Demon Sect all these years, but it has never done it. When the old man heard his parable, he immediately understood.
"So the two sides get along peacefully, not as harmonious as it seems, the Dao Sect does not want to eradicate the Demon Sect all the time, but is afraid of hurting itself, you must know that those wolves and leopards who have been driven away are still watching this territory, and it is all empty to say that there is a glimmer of room for the love of the same sect, it is all a drama for people to listen to, the heart of the Dao Sect Dead Demon Sect is not dead for a moment, and the Demon Sect's several demon venerables are human spirits who have lived for thousands of years, and they are not idiots, will they not feel it? King Yan had a free and uninhibited smile on his face, his words were hearty, and he didn't care about anything, and directly compared the two sects of Dao and Demon to tigers fighting for territory, as if these two behemoths were just two beasts in his eyes, but these words were not wild words, if you were aware of the pattern of the cultivation realm, the presence of the big figures in history, and carefully consider his remarks, although the metaphor was vulgar, but there was no flaw.
"But since the Demon Sect has endured it for so long, I'm afraid they are used to this kind of life of forbearance, will they rashly break this balance and bring unwarranted disasters to themselves?"
