Volume 1 Chapter 97 Ghost Ridge
"Ratcht-"
A flock of jays suddenly soared from the deep mountain forest and swooped into the dark sky obscured by the shadows of the trees, and the dead leaves fell with the cold winter wind.
This is hundreds of miles south of Ganzhou City, into the undeveloped primeval forest, in the past tens of millions of years, very few people have set foot on it, so there are still many traces of ancient creatures, as well as strange mountain charm fairies. Therefore, it is a very fierce place, there is a proverb among the people of southern Gansu, "ten miles of ghost ridge to human life", ten miles into the death of the dead, except for the occasional monk into the forest to explore, not to mention the residents, even the woodcutter will not step into the "ghost ridge" half a step.
Between the dense and chaotic giant trees and grass, there was not even a rugged mountain road, and a group of more than a dozen people slowly opened the way. At the front were Zhang Chengzong and the children of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, then Fang Chengye and a few people, and then Liu Ziyu and Xie Lingyun.
Everyone had already walked into the forest for a long time, ten miles earlier, and gradually left the edge of the Ghost Ridge and walked towards the hinterland, and it was already night, but they had planned to hunt overnight.
Rao has been playing in the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and Xie Lingyun is the first time to explore this kind of wild old forest, looking at the surrounding scenery, which is completely different from the beautiful mountains of Jinling Yuzhang, which is all gloomy and mysterious......
Chun'er followed him closely, although he grew up in the mountains, but there seemed to be monsters hiding among the grass and trees everywhere, looking at it with his eyes wide open, a gust of wind and a black shadow made people creepy.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound of clicking, and I saw that a large row of thin green bamboos quickly emerged from the land in front of me, and in a blink of an eye, it grew from more than a foot to more than a zhang, blocking the way-
"Ah......" Everyone behind couldn't help but exclaim softly, Bamboo Demon?
Zhang Chengzong and others are calm as usual, it seems that they have seen it many times, Zhang Yingda introduced: "This is 'fast long bamboo', a specialty of southern Gansu, usually shrinking in the soil and growing in the bamboo, as soon as you hear the voice, it will break through the soil one after another, and it looks like it grows quickly." β
Xie Lingyun looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that those bamboos were smaller than the other from the bottom to the top, and the layers were like pagodas, which was quite interesting.
Just as he wanted to step forward to appreciate it, Zhang Chengzong pulled out his long sword and slashed it a few times, and with a bang, all those fast long bamboos were chopped to the ground......
Xie Lingyun couldn't help frowning.
At this time, Ning Lin noticed that there were a large number of wild grasses growing strangely next to her, and the long leaves hanging on the grass stalks were obviously rolled up, swaying slightly, and she was about to open, she asked, "What kind of grass are those?"
Everyone didn't know each other, and Xie Lingyun didn't know what to say, Zhang Yingda looked at it, shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen it." β
"There seems to be something hidden in the leaves. Then the crowd stepped forward, could it be a cocoon? But how could it move?
Hearing the human voice, those grass blades suddenly bloomed, everyone was suddenly startled, several girls and the timid screamed even more, each unfolded big leaf, there was a real and indistinguishable human face, there were men and women, old and young, all bloody and tragic deaths.
At such a glance, it looked like the heads of dead people were hanging there, painful and frightened, and a pair of bleeding dead eyes stared at the comer.
Suddenly, there were a few more simmersions, and the mouths of the dead people spewed out a black gas, and the pile of weeds immediately filled with miasma and stenched to the extreme, which was not only terrifying, but if ordinary people sniffed this miasma, they would immediately pass out.
Everyone hurriedly held back their breath and retreated at the same time, Zhang Yingda was not sure if they were monsters or not, and shouted: "Rong Zu, these grasses are so weird." β
"Don't make a sound. Zhang Chengzong over there suddenly spoke, "There are monsters." β
However, he didn't look over, obviously not referring to the "grimace grass", but everyone immediately heard some crumbs, and looked around at the big trees and dense grass, something was coming......
Three huge centipedes sprang out from among the trees and surrounded them.
They are all black and red-headed, half a foot in size, I can't count so many pairs of hands and feet, the shell armor on their bodies is like steel armor, and the two long tentacles on the top of their heads are raised high, and at the same time they dance those hands and feet, as if to convey some kind of warning!
"Centipede Spiritβ"
Everyone was surprised, and the girls frowned, feeling very disgusting.
"It's just a little elf who has no way. Zhang Chengzong didn't have the intention to make a move in person, looked at the two, and said lightly: "Come on." β
"Good. Zhang Yingda and Zhang Taining nodded, they have the cultivation in the middle and late stages of the Dan realm, and by next year's Qingming, it will be enough to participate in the group of heroes, so they all signed up.
Zhilu said that they didn't need help from others, and Fang Chengye and the others all stood aside with interest. Liu Ziyu and Ning Lin also made a meditation observation.
Xie Lingyun hurriedly shouted: "Wait, they don't seem to want to fight us, and it's us who broke into other people's territory first, try to communicate......"
While he was talking, the two Zhang had already begun to cast spells, and they didn't need to use the secret urn, they all pulled out the magic swords on their backs, and quickly pinched the magic tricks with their left hands, and with a touch of the magic sword with two fingers, the sword body suddenly glowed with blue and white light-
"Thunder!" The two magic swords swung around like a dance, and each of them roared, and a fierce thunderbolt suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword, slashing at the three big centipedes respectively!
"Shhh
It's just that as soon as the thunder and lightning came, the venom was actually beaten into the air and evaporated, their strength was so weak, and several thunderbolts fell, even if two were chopped to death, they had no power to resist. The remaining centipede hurriedly turned around and fled back into the grass, but two lightning bolts struck it at the same time, boom!
There was a huge stench of burnt feces in the air, the three centipede essences were all dead, the shell armor was split out of large holes, the tentacles hung down, only those feet and legs were still curled up and trembling, but the yang energy in the body was not dispersed......
"You each made ten moves, slow, I thought three moves would be enough. Zhang Chengzong said and walked towards the nearest centipede, and with a wave of his left hand, the white jade wrench on his index finger emitted a red light, and the corpse of the centipede essence disappeared. That ring is the supreme treasure that contains the space of Sumeru mustard seeds.
was said by him in public, but Erzhang was not dissatisfied, but his face was ashamed, and he said, "Careless." "I didn't want to kill them in one move. β
After only a while, the battle was over, and the corpses of the three centipede spirits were all taken away by Zhang Chengzong. Many formation instruments need to use these insect spirits as materials, and Fang Chengye and the others are very envious.
Xie Lingyun took a breath and asked slightly angrily: "Don't you think this is too rude?" Obviously, you can be a friend or an enemy, you have to fight without saying a word, and you have to kill them all at the end...... Heavenly Master Dao also worships Lao Jun as the leader, abstains from alcohol, righteousness, and repentance, isn't it about morality and morality?"
"I'm not interested in talking to you, or talking about morality with a few centipedes. Zhang Chengzong didn't look at him, and was clearly saying, a nobody, do you have that qualification? He never got angry, but said calmly: "You can't see it, just go by yourself, I have never invited you to follow." β
"You ......" Xie Lingyun clenched his fists, and Chun'er called comfortingly: "Childe......"
"Brother Xie Dao, why bother, it's just three centipede essences, and it is our duty to kill demons and eliminate demons. He Xiang persuaded and praised Xiao Zhang Tianshi.
"If they want to kill us at the beginning, it will be, but they clearly want to talk about it! Monsters have opened their minds, aren't they the same as people?" Xie Lingyun's face was full of sincerity, slaying demons and eliminating demons is the demon that is eliminated, and saving sentient beings is a good life.
"Keep walking. Zhang Chengzong looked at the pile of grimace grass, but he couldn't arouse his interest, and took the lead in walking to the front.
If it is the Northern Heavenly Master Dao that is divided into sects, it will also be discussed and discussed, because it absorbs the "six reincarnations" theory of Buddhism and preaches karma;
Liu Ziyu and Ning Lin gave Xie Lingyun a few encouraging looks, and he didn't want to leave like this, he couldn't ignore the matter of the Gan giant, so he fell silent and continued to follow.
Everyone walked a long way, the night became darker and darker, and there were more and more strange sounds in the forest.
"There are footprints in this. At this time, Zhang Chengzong and a few people found a string of suspicious footprints under a giant tree full of weeping branches, and the body of the tree also had traces of being climbed by giant objects, "The Gan giant is near here." β
"Set up and get ready for battle. β
Zhang Chengzong said, and began to cast the method of luring giants, he took out a yellow talisman from the talisman bag, pasted it on the magic bell and burned it, and then shook the magic bell, it first made a jingling sound, but after shaking it ten times, it suddenly became a child's babbling and laughing-
At the same time, Erzhang and the other Dragon and Tiger Sect Daoists also stood separately and formed a gossip formation, all holding magic swords, looking around intently.
"This!" Hearing this laughter, Xie Lingyun's eyes suddenly widened, and he understood something in his heart...... It turned out that Zhang Chengzong was using the laughing character of the Gan giants, their good impression of human beings, and the innocent and beautiful children's laughter as a lure!
A good heart has become a prisoner, and the old giant naturally hates them. This time, another Gan giant may not be fooled, but with the lesson of the last time, he must know that they are here, and they are likely to come out of anger.
He couldn't help but feel even more indignant, and there was a trace of shame, he could be like a baby, he could be like a baby, and the prestige of the human race had been lost by these people!
"This is not good...... Chun'er took the words softly, Liu Ziyu and Ning Lin also felt that something was wrong, Hexiang wanted to speak and stopped, only Fang Chengye's group was nothing.
The people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect continued to go their own way, and after a while, there was some movement around them, and the shadows of the trees kept swaying. Whether they agree with this approach or not, everyone is nervous, is the Gan giant coming?
Zhang Chengzong was suspicious: "It's not like a Gan giant, the movement is not so small and scattered, you ...... careful."
"Shh
Suddenly, a sharp howl sounded from all directions, and black figures jumped down from the trees and rushed out of the grass.
Like a tidal wave, this large group of ghosts rushed towards everyone and surrounded them!
