Chapter 435: Scarlet Mountain Forest
Shulu and Qingzhuzi went out of Taiyi Gate and headed north.
The two of them each stepped on a huge golden rune-like magic weapon, flying in the air, this magic weapon was as thin as nothing, the two stepped on it, as if stepping on the waves, the rune was not always horizontal, but undulating and shaking, but the two stood steadily.
From a distance, it looks like a master, but the image of the two is a little weird, Qingzhu is tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, there is a gloomy color when his eyes are slightly squinted, the bookworm is relatively short, ordinary in appearance, and there is always a playful smile on his face.
When the two of them were passing through the sky, sword light passed by from time to time, and some of them immediately stopped and shouted to their seniors to salute. Those who didn't know each other were frightened by the image of the two and ran away.
Flying until late at night, the two found a cave to spend the night, the Guyuan Mountains, the mountains are deep and dense, there are many monsters, and there are many natural caves.
After the two of them settled, Qingzhuzi's fingertips rubbed slightly, releasing a ball of fire, and the two brothers leaned against the wall, each pondering.
"Lao Qingzhu, I heard that Chen Qingqing, that little girl, although she is in the polar regions, she has never forgotten you, a teacher, and she asked Ye Bai to bring you a gift last time. ”
The bookworm suddenly laughed and joked, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
Qingzhuzi glared at him, and said as a matter of course: "The apprentice is filial to the master, this is a matter of course, if you are envious, you can also accept one." ”
The bookworm nodded and said: "I do have this plan, when the turmoil in Taiyimen passes, I will go to the red dust to see if there are any suitable disciples, the disciples recruited by the sect are not enough, and all the qualifications have been robbed by you." ”
Qingzhuzi smiled.
The two have played since childhood. When he was a child, he was a very haode friend, just a look, Qingzhuzi knew his innermost thoughts.
Qingzhuzi took out a pot of wine, took a sip, and then threw it to the bookworm. He said softly: "This time the turmoil is not simple, bookworm, I know that I will definitely not persuade you to go back, but if there is a fight, you must remember not to fight, after finding out the details of that monster, we will leave immediately." ”
The bookworm smiled disdainfully: "Do you think I am still as showy as I was when I was a child? You better take care of yourself first, if you die, be careful that I snatch Chen Qingqing over as an apprentice." ”
Green bamboo hahadaxiao. The laughter was eerie, and it was heard in the mountains.
But there was a deep warmth in his eyes.
"Silence!"
The book's eyes tightened, and he suddenly made a gesture, Qingzhuzi stopped laughing, listened attentively, there was the sound of the clothes belt breaking through the air, and it approached quickly from a distance, extremely fast. Not an ordinary low-ranking monk.
Soon, a figure appeared. landed silently in front of the cave where the two lived.
"Who should I be, it turns out to be two Taoist friends from Taiyimen, the scholar and the green bamboo!"
A loud voice sounded, and in the dark night, I saw a tall man in a white robe, standing in the night breeze, his clothes fluttering in the wind. Although he couldn't see his face, his two eyes were like two fireballs, showing a red color and burning fiercely. The majestic power of the fire element surged and scattered from him, and the heat wave hit people.
Although this person recognized the calligraphy and painting idiot, he did not come in immediately, but stood at the entrance of the cave and waited quietly.
Shuluo and Qingzhuzi looked at each other and smiled, Qingzhuzi said: "Brother Murong, please come in, the two of us are disgusted with the cold of the cave, and having you, the Fire Ancestor, here, can add a little warmth." ”
The person who came was another sect in the Guyuan Mountain Range, Murong Zhuo, the ancestor of the Flame Gate, this person was quite good at fire skills, and Zhou Jinxiu, the flame fairy who had fought side by side with Ye Bai, was one of his apprentices.
Murong Zhuo smiled and walked into the cave, the fluttering firelight illuminated his figure extremely tall. This gentleman was born like a middle-aged man in his forties, with sallow skin and a square face, not how handsome he is, but he is very attractive, his eyes are shining, and his breath is as deep as the sea.
Qing Zhuzi looked at him carefully a few times, and said with a smile: "Brother Murong, I haven't seen you for many years, your cultivation has become more and more profound, and you are only one step away from the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, looking at the breath in your eyes, I am afraid that you have a deeper understanding of the law of flames." ”
Murong Zhuo shook his head and said modestly: "Our Flame Sect is just a small sect, and it is too far away from the Daoist brothers of the Taiyi Sect, if I don't work harder, even the sect will be ended." ”
Three hahadaxiao.
The bookworm said: "How can Brother Murong be willing to come out of your volcanic pit this time, I remember that you seem to have not moved your nest for hundreds of years. ”
Murong Zhuo sighed slightly: "It's not for that piece of blood mist, my descendant Murong Yuanshan, that kid, didn't do his best, went in to hunt for treasure, and he hasn't returned yet, so I have to go on a trip in person to see what demons and monsters live inside." ”
Qingzhuzi and the scholar glanced at each other, the two of them had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the matter of the Bright Ancestor, and the matter was still inconclusive, so there was really no need to make a big deal about it immediately.
Murong Zhuo said, "Where are the two fellow Daoists?"
Qingzhuzi said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, Senior Brother Bai sent me and the scholar to investigate there, just with Brother Murong." ”
When Murong Zhuo heard this, his eyes flashed several times, and he muttered: "Ji Baiyi actually sent two people to attack at the same time, it seems that this matter is not trivial. ”
Qingzhuzi nodded and said, "Senior Brother does have some guesses, but everything is still inconclusive, please forgive Brother Murong for selling us first." ”
Murong Zhuo nodded lightly.
Although the two factions are in the Guyuan Mountain Range, there are not many conflicts, and the Taiyi Gate rarely oppresses people with power, so the relationship between the two factions is still harmonious.
After a few more conversations, the three of them each meditated, and only the crackling of fireballs and the chirping of insects echoed in the hole.
Early the next morning, the three of them hit the road together. After five or six days, we arrived at the edge of the blood-colored mist of the mountain forest.
The three of them stood in the air, looking down at the blood-colored mountains and forests under their feet, their brows furrowed, this blood mist was extremely thick, almost covering most of the tall trees, leaving only two or three zhang long treetops exposed, and these treetops were no longer covered with green leaves, but turned into blood-drenched red, as if they had been watered with blood, and the people who saw it were shocked.
Looking at it from afar, in the blood mist, there was a deep or shallow magic weapon light coming out.
Below the blood mist, there was the sound of fighting from time to time, and there were many monks one after another, with greed in their eyes, rushing into the blood mist, the sound of fighting, endlessly, in addition, there were countless low chewing and gnawing sounds coming out from the depths of the mountain forest, this sound was not like a demon beast, but more like the bite of an ordinary beast.
The three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time unfolded their divine senses to look, and after an instant, they were shocked, and their divine senses could only go down to seven or eight zhang away, just like a mud cow entering the sea, and disappeared without a trace.
Murong Zhuo frowned slightly and said, "Two Daoist brothers, there is something strange here, let's go down and take a look." ”
"Yes. ”
All three fell into the fog at the same time.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the thick and pungent smell of blood came into his nose, and the three of them were all old rivers and lakes, although they were used to seeing bloody scenes, they were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
On the black earth, there are blood stains, most of them have dried up into purple scabs, and the white bones are everywhere, there is no trace of flesh and blood on the bones, and not far away, there are more than a dozen humanoid monsters with dull eyes and thin corpses, holding bones and chewing heavily.
The vines in the mountains and forests are also strange and abnormal, each one is as thick as a human arm, flexible and smooth, shining with a purple-brown luster, and the poisonous snake crawls forward on the ground, and when it encounters the residual blood, it immediately stretches out the rhizome and sucks it frantically.
Sensing the movement of the three people falling to the ground, the dry corpse glanced up, a frenzied ferocity flashed in his eyes, and immediately raised the bone in his hand and rushed over with a roar.
Murong Zhuo snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a wall of fire was born in front of the three of them, which was about twenty zhang long and three or four zhang high, the flame temperature was extremely high, and the damp and gloomy air was sizzling.
The dry corpse had no sense, only the killing instinct of a beast, and without fear of the flames, it rushed straight over, and after stepping into the fire, it immediately burned brightly, and the corpse stenched everywhere. A moment later, it all fell to the ground, a pile of coke.
The three of them glanced at each other, but their expressions were even more solemn, these dried corpses were inevitably a little too easy to deal with.
"Be careful!"
Qingzhuzi suddenly snorted.
The vines that spread among the surrounding mountains and forests, as if they had been ordered, slashed at the three of them together, their bodies vibrating straight, and the sharp fluff was clearly visible, like a spear with a barbed rod. (To be continued......)
