.

The sinister wind blew more and more fiercely, making the clothes of Gui Li and Jin Ping'er rustle. They stood at the entrance of the Zhenmo Ancient Cave and watched as a huge and strange evil spirit gradually appeared in front of them.

Eyes the size of copper bells suddenly opened in the white air, and a faint blood-red light came out. The huge figure of the evil spirit enveloped it, and its eyes fell on the two mortals standing beneath them.

"Who dares to come here?"

The voice of the evil spirit suddenly sounded, so loud and deafening that it seemed as if the surrounding mountain walls were shaking.

However, after a moment, the evil spirit seemed to have discovered something. He was startled for a moment, and his eyes turned to Jin Ping'er, who was standing slightly behind Gui Li: "Is it you again?"

Jin Ping'er smiled slightly, infinitely charming, and said: "Yes! It's me, we meet again."

The evil spirit roared angrily, and the sound echoed far away, as if his roar was echoing far away in the deep ancient cave behind him: "Why did you come here again? Don't you think you disturbed the goddess statue last time enough?"

Jin Ping'er was thinking about how to deal with this evil spirit. Judging from the situation that day, this evil spirit guarding the ancient cave of Zhenmo was definitely difficult to deal with. She was just thinking about it in her mind, but she still had a smile on her face.

Jin Ping'er was about to speak when he suddenly heard the ghost beside him saying sternly: "Are you the Black Tiger who followed the Linglong Witch and went deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Seven Heroes of Southern Border?"

Jin Ping'er was stunned and turned to look at Gui Li, only to see Gui Li looking at the huge figure of the evil spirit with an indifferent expression.

Almost at the same time that Gui Li asked this question, the evil spirit could not help but froze for a moment, as if the name "Black Tiger" hit him deep in the heart like a heavy punch.

Even if he transforms into a fierce ghost, even if he is abandoned by the world and has been waiting alone for thousands of years, there are still some memories hidden deep in his heart...

"Who...are you?" The ferocious spirit's majestic voice seemed to suddenly become hoarse, completely different from the scene that had just appeared.

Gui Li looked at the voice surrounded by the gloomy ghostly aura, with a complicated and difficult-to-understand light flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "Of the seven people who followed Linglong Witch, the last five returned, and then established the five tribes in Southern Xinjiang today. The two remaining brothers, Black Tiger and Black Wood, who had followed Linglong Miko for the longest time, have not returned. According to the ancient witch clan legend, the eldest brother Black Tiger is loyal and brave, while the second brother Black Wood is persevering and persevering. I see that you are extremely respectful to this statue and have been so tenacious for thousands of years. You have transformed into a vicious spirit without regrets, so I guess you are a black tiger, right?"

The fierce spirit remained silent for a long time, staring at Gui Li. Under that fierce gaze, Gui Li showed no fear at all and looked directly at him.

Slowly, the white ghost energy around the evil spirit slowly surged, and the blood-red color in the evil spirit's eyes became thicker and thicker. Even the entrance of the ancient demon-suppressing cave, which was already bone-chilling, , the temperature seems to be getting colder.

The monkey Xiao Hui, who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, seemed a little uneasy and called out twice.

"Who are you to know the past of the Witch Clan?" The originally angry voice of the evil spirit seemed to suddenly change, and there was an indescribable coldness in his tone.

Gui Li seemed to feel nothing. He just looked at the huge shadow and said: "Most people in the world can't remember what happened too long ago, but there will still be legends passed down bit by bit."

He looked at the evil spirit and said word by word: "In today's southern Xinjiang, there are still people who are descendants of the Wu clan who remember you!"

The evil spirit's eyes were closed and did not open for a long time.

Jin Ping'er stood behind, frowning slightly, looking at the evil spirit, and then at Gui Li beside her. She didn't know anything about these so-called legends about the exquisite statues of the ancient witch tribe, but looking at that From the evil spirit's reaction, it was obvious that Gui Li was telling the truth. She had always thought that no one in the Demon Cult knew more about the various strange things in the Hundred Thousand Mountains than she did. Unexpectedly, Gui Li actually There seems to be something hidden and unknown.

She looked at the man's figure, her heart slightly awe-inspiring, but her eyes seemed colder.

For a long time, the dark wind was still blowing coldly. Above the head, black clouds billowed silently, the cold wind was blowing, and the scene was desolate.

In this silence, suddenly, the ferocious black tiger suddenly raised its head, looked up to the sky and roared, the sound was shrill and shrill, as if countless vicissitudes of the past were contained in this roar. When the roar was still faintly echoing in the distant mountains At that time, he had turned around, and the rumbling sound seemed to be the excitement of his emotions, but he was suppressed after all.

"Thank you!"

The evil spirit stared at Gui Li for a long time, then lowered his head slightly and said this.

Gui Li had no expression on his face, slowly took half a step back, closed his eyes and bowed slightly as a return gesture.

The evil spirit nodded, and his tone gradually calmed down, and said: "I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who remember the empress and us. Hey, but when we followed the witch empress deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, how could we have thought of the everlasting fragrance? "

The evil spirit's eyes slowly turned to the exquisite witch goddess statue standing at the entrance of the Demon-Suppressing Ancient Cave. His eyes instantly became gentler, and even his voice seemed to be much softer: "But When you come here, you must not have come here specifically to say these words to me, who is not a human being or a ghost, right?"

Gui Li was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, before I came here, although I had heard the legend of Linglong Witch and the seven of you, I didn't know about your current situation, nor did I know that you would be here..."

He raised his head, looked at the evil spirit, and said slowly: "I came here because of the beast god in this cave."

The huge figure of the evil spirit was shocked, and even he seemed to be afraid of that name.

However, the evil spirit's gaze did not come to him. It still stayed on the statue and said, "What are you looking for him for?"

Gui Li said calmly: "We need to find him and then kill him."

The fierce spirit suddenly turned back, stared at Gui Li, and said slowly: "Just the two of you?"

Gui Li nodded slowly and said, "Yes."

The white ghost energy around the evil spirit seemed to be rotating faster suddenly, and his figure seemed to be a little blurry. After a while, he said coldly: "Yes, the beast god is indeed in this ancient cave of suppressing demons. "

Jin Ping'er shuddered, and couldn't help but have a look of joy on his face. Gui Li didn't have much joy, and still looked at the evil spirit.

The evil spirit was also looking at him, and suddenly said: "I see from your clothes that you are not from the Southern Territory, but from the Central Territory, right?"

Gui Li nodded and said: "Exactly."

The evil spirit pondered for a moment, and in the gloomy ghostly aura, he seemed to see his expression changing, and said: "Do you know why I guard the entrance of this cave?"

Gui Li said: "I don't know."

The evil spirit said: "Of course I am here to protect the statue of the Queen, but apart from that, I am here to guard. Firstly, I do not allow outside forces to resurrect this monster, and secondly, I do not want ignorant people to enter and die. Do you understand?"

Gui Li nodded.

The evil spirit smiled miserably and said: "But after all, I still failed to live up to the great trust of the empress. I was... deceived by that beast, and made a big mistake. The evildoer resurrected, and the world was in ruins..." As he spoke, his voice gradually faded.

He lowered his head, and then the evil spirit seemed to regain his composure, and said again: "I was already in despair, thinking that no one in the world could stop this evildoer from causing harm to the people. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he came back seriously injured. There are outstanding people in China.

There are actually experts who can inflict serious damage on him, which is really beyond my expectation."

The corners of Gui Li's eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly sneered and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Although the Beast God has been defeated, the person who defeated him may not be as good as he is!"

The evil spirit was slightly startled, not knowing the meaning of Gui Li's words, but he was too lazy to delve into it at the moment, and said: "It would be the best if we could get rid of this monster. I have had this intention for thousands of years, and I only regret that even if he hasn't woken up that day

At this time, I can't help him either. You are from Middle-earth, so I don't know if you can do it. If it really succeeds..."

The evil spirit's ghostly aura suddenly disappeared, its huge eyes widened, and it said loudly: "I would like to thank you here on behalf of the empress!"

After that, he slowly moved his body and cleared a path, revealing the deep and bottomless ancient cave behind him.

Gui Li stared deep into the cave, turned his eyes, and took a deep look at the evil spirit, which was also staring at him.

Gui Li nodded slowly, said nothing more, and walked in slowly. When passing by the evil spirit, the monkey Xiao Hui who was lying on his shoulder suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge body of the evil spirit with some curiosity.

, three eyes that never blink.

The evil spirit suddenly said loudly to Gui Li's back: "There is one more thing, you have to be careful. The beast god did not come back alone that day. In addition to the evil beast Taotie beside him, there was also an evildoer with extremely high moral standards.

You must be careful."

Gui Li paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, all thirteen monsters under his command have been wiped out."

The evil spirit shook his head and said: "It's not one of the thirteen monsters. Even I have never seen that monster before. You must be careful."

Gui Li nodded slowly and continued walking deeper into the ancient cave.

Afterwards, Jin Ping'er slowly followed up, and the figures of the two and the monkey slowly melted into the darkness, swaying forward in the depths of the shadows, slowly, but finally they were no longer visible.

The ghostly aura of the evil spirit's body gradually became blurred, but his huge eyes kept staring at the darkness deep in the cave. Suddenly, he let out a roar like thunder towards the deepest darkness,

That wild shout came out like a torrential wave that overturned mountains and seas, and even the biting wind blew back at it. The extremely hard rock wall roared like the sky was falling apart and the earth was cracking!

Amidst the roaring sound, the huge body of the evil spirit slowly disappeared into the darkness...

However, when the evil spirit disappeared, he did not notice that outside the ancient cave of suppressing demons, a black figure faintly appeared behind the statue. It was the man who instigated civil strife among the five tribes in southern Xinjiang that day and snatched back the statue.

The sacred weapon of the five tribes, the black wood that resurrects the beast god.

The black and wide robe covered Heimu's whole body as before, exuding a cold air, but his eyes were shining with extremely complicated gazes, looking into the depths of the ancient cave of suppressing demons.

When the evil spirit, who was also his former eldest brother, disappeared, he slowly withdrew his eyes, and once again, he focused on the statue of the exquisite witch next to him.

In the howling wind, he seemed to be whispering: "Empress..."

At the same time, far away from the scorched black mountain peak where the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave is located, under the vast black forest, a team of more than a dozen people slowly walked out. The first person was a woman with a beautiful face wearing white clothes like snow.

, holding a blue Tianya fairy sword in his hand, his face as clear as frost, but his eyes seemed to have some unspeakable sadness and vicissitudes, silently looking towards the charred black mountain peaks in the distance...

Zhongtu, thirty miles outside Heyang City.

On the road, after such a long time, most of the refugees who fled have returned to their hometown in the south. This place is not far from the foot of Qingyun Mountain, but you can still see ragged people trudging from time to time. But there are already more

The small businesses and hawkers coming and going are much better than when the catastrophe occurred a few months ago.

"Immortal's advice, let's see how many half lives you have..." Suddenly, a loud shout rang out on the road, breaking the silence here, which seemed very harsh.

"Wealth luck, official luck, marriage, whereabouts; Feng Shui, facial appearance, calligraphy, bone touching, everything is master, everything is omnipotent, come and come, each person only costs five taels of silver! It's so cheap..."

Immortal Zhou Yi held the bamboo pole that was the sign of "Immortal Guiding the Way" and strode over, shouting all the way, and all the passers-by looked at him sideways.

The wild dog Taoist who followed him did not speak and was carrying all the luggage as usual.

However, Xiao Huan behind him seemed to be startled for a moment. He looked up from a book with black cover and wordless cover that he had been looking at carefully all the way. He said with some astonishment: "Grandpa, what did you just say? A few taels."

One piece of silver?"

Immortal Zhou Yi turned around and smiled, as if he were an immortal descended from heaven. He stretched out five fingers and said solemnly: "Five taels of silver."

Xiaohuan frowned and said: "But yesterday you were asking for three taels of silver! Also, what happened to you these days? Three days ago we were doing the same as usual, charging five taels to each guest who read the fortune.

Money, but you are good. In the past few days, you have been jumping up and down. Five qian rose to one tael. One day later, it became 2 taels. The day before, it became three taels. Today is good. You might as well just call me.

It’s been five taels…”

Xiaohuan walked up to Zhou Yixian and looked her up and down carefully. Yi Xian was a little embarrassed by her look, took a step back and coughed dryly, and said, "What are you looking at, little girl?"

Xiao Huan ignored him, but stretched out her hand to touch Zhou Xian's forehead. Zhou Xian was startled, then took a step back and said, "What are you talking about?"
