[Netww.] The Dharma image standing in front of him chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice. After a moment, a round bead flashing with solemn and golden light rose from his hand. At first, the light seemed to be attached to the Dharma image, but with the power of the Dharma image, the golden light suddenly flourished. With the bead as the center, the golden light rushed to all directions like a tide.

Zhang Xiaofan stood there, almost feeling a "whistle" in his ear, and a golden aperture had already passed by him.

Everyone present had a faint golden color, and at the same time they felt relaxed. Even if they were a little nervous, they calmed down in an instant. The huge space was as bright as daylight in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the hideous rocks and the wriggling bats, they would almost make people think they had reached the Buddhist horizon.

Li Xun, who had always been above the top, was a little surprised at this moment, and stood aside and said in surprise: "Reincarnation Pearl!"

Faxiang glanced at him and said, "Senior Brother Li has good eyesight."

Li Xun seemed to be a little more polite to the Dharma Image in his words, and said, "I dare not, Senior Brother Fa Xiang, you are a master of Taoism."

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan, with the light of the "Reincarnation Bead", had already seen clearly that he had indeed stepped on the clean hard ground under his feet. When he looked up, he saw that on the top of the rock cave on his head, the black bats disappeared for some reason, but the "rustling" sound was clearly still in his ears.

He looked carefully again, and then he realized that at the top of the cave behind him, countless black bats were still gathering at the top of the cave, but on the hard ground where several of them stepped on, the rock at the top of the cave had a thin red line streaking across the top of the cave, looking like a vein that grew in the rock.

With this thin red line as the boundary, countless bats gathered and crowded outside, none of them crossed the red line, and a short distance away, there was no smelly bat feces outside.

The Dharma Image looked around and said in a deep voice: "There are so many strange things here, please be careful."

Everyone didn't know what it was, but they finally stepped onto a clean place. After checking that there was nothing strange around them, most people's first move was to tidy up their clothes.

Zeng "Net", who was standing next to Zhang Xiaofan, took off his shoes, poured out the disgusting things inside, and whispered to Zhang Xiaofan: "For the first time in my life, I know that it is so comfortable to walk on a clean road!"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and quickly cleaned it up, and he felt a little more comfortable.

After a while, Qi Hao saw that everyone was almost ready, so he said, "Let's go." He said that, and walked towards the depths of the cave first.

Everyone followed, and soon, as they walked forward, they fell into endless darkness again.

And ahead, the darkness seemed like a monster, spreading its arms and showing a grim smile, welcoming their arrival.

A little light in the dark moves forward slowly.

I don’t know how far I went, but this ancient and deep cave seemed endless. Although it was still very spacious, it was winding and twisted, and besides it was probably tilted toward the ground, it almost made people unable to tell the direction.

The rustling sound of the bats at the entrance of the cave was long gone. In this darkness, there was no other sound except the steps of everyone. Zhang Xiaofan felt that the humidity around him was getting heavier and he didn't know how deep it was already underground.

The "Reincarnation Bead" raised by the Dharma image still emits golden Buddha light, shining on everyone. Qi Hao, who was in the front, also sacrificed the ** mirror just in case.

The two treasures shone together, and after walking for a while, Qi Hao, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped and reached out to the person behind, saying, "Slow."

Everyone stopped immediately.

There was a silence around, without any sound.

The lights of the "Reincarnation Bead" and the "** Mirror" gradually lit up. In front of everyone, there were two forks of roads in front of them. They were deep and dark, and they didn't know where they led, as if they were like a demon's mouth opened.

In the middle of the road, and at the center of two forks, a huge stone tablet that was as high as six people was erected, with four blood-red characters carved on it.

The way of heaven is in me!

Li Xun of Fenxiang Valley snorted and said angrily: "The demons of the Demon Sect dare to claim the way of heaven!"

But Fa Xiang frowned, looked at the stone tablet a few more times, and said, "When I came, I heard from my teacher, Master Puhong, that there was indeed this stone tablet in this cave eight hundred years ago, but it was cut open by my righteous immortal with a sword with great magical powers. See you today, why is it intact?"

At this time, Yan Hong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Look at the four parts of the stone tablet, there is a broken mark?"

Her voice was soft and charming, which made people feel aroused in their hearts. In addition, it was the first time that everyone in Qingyun Sect heard Yan Hong speak, and they were slightly surprised. Everyone walked up and looked carefully. Sure enough, they saw a slight crack in the place, which was slanted upward, dividing the entire stone tablet into two halves. The stone texture at the crack was dark red, but if they didn't look closely, they would definitely not be able to see it.

Qi Hao nodded and said to Yan Hong: "Junior Sister Yan has such a careful heart."

Yan Hong smiled slightly, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Qi Hao looked at the stone tablet again, turned around and said to everyone, "Since this stone tablet has been restored, it can be seen that most of the demons in the Demon Cult are doing something shameful, and we are the right thing to do this trip."

Faxiang then said: "Senior Brother Qi's words are reasonable. At the moment, the cave is full of dangers. There is a problem in front of you. Which of these two forks should we take?"

Qi Hao pondered slightly and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang, you just said that the monk Lingshi Puhong had mentioned this matter to you, so has he mentioned this fork in the road?"

Faxiang nodded and said, "My teacher did say that, but he also learned from the previous ancestor that it is said that during the battle between the two forks, there were the demon demons' nests in the Demon Cult after these two forks. As for the current situation, he was not very clear."

Everyone was silent. After a while, Qi Hao looked at the other three people in the sect and said to Fa Xiang and others: "Since that's the case, I think it's better to divide the troops into two groups. The four of my Qingyun Sect went to the left to check, Fa Xiang, Senior Brother Fashan and Fenxianggu went to the right to check. If you meet a demon demon, you will show your warning with a long roar. What?"

The Dharma image is silent. Although I know that it is not a good thing to disperse this way, the cave is deep and I don’t know how far these two forks are. If I go wrong and turn back, I will be afraid that the time will be delayed too much. The people present are all elites of various sects and may not be unable to protect themselves.

He turned to look at Li Xun and Yan Hong in the Fenxiang Valley. Seeing that the two of them had no objection, he said, "Then according to Senior Brother Qi, please be careful."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Xiaofan again intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Xiaofan felt aroused, feeling that the senior brother Faxiang seemed to really look at him differently, but he still smiled on his face.

Qi Hao nodded, clasped his fists at Faxiang and others, and took Zhang Xiaofan and the other three into the fork on the left. After walking a few steps, the light behind him turned around and gradually disappeared. It seemed that Faxiang and others also entered the fork on the right.

Qi Hao walked in front, sacrificing the ** mirror, scattering the yellow light of the ** mirror, covering the four people.

This fork is much narrower than the cave that I walked along the way. At the same time, the rocks on both sides are abrupt and sharp. Zhang Xiaofan almost got a little scared of color accidentally. The only thing that is the eternal darkness around him is, and there seems to be no trace of light here.

The four people in Qingyun Sect were not in the mood to speak, especially Qi Hao, who was walking in the front, was focused and guarding against unknown dangers ahead.

It took him a long time to leave, so that Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but wonder that even if he met a demon demon in the Demon Sect and let out a long roar, it was really a question whether Senior Brother Faxiang could hear it.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. In the aisle where everyone was walking, as if it was eternal darkness and quiet, a huge "um" ghost cry suddenly sounded, deafening and shocked when they heard it.

The four of them were shocked. As soon as Qi Hao was about to remind him, his body was shocked. He saw various rays of light lit up from the endless darkness from all directions, and at the same time rushed towards the four people in the aisle and hit the aperture of the ** mirror.

The power was so great that even the ** mirror swayed. Qi Hao's body was even more shocked. He could no longer speak. He quickly calmed down and increased his strength to protect him.

The sound of ghost crying became louder and louder, and it made people dizzy when they heard it. Zeng "Net", Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan protected Qi Hao in the center, and saw countless lights being shocked by the ** mirror. They turned around in the air, but turned back and rushed back again. In the darkness, there were countless enemies hiding, and in the air, there were no idea how many magic weapons were flying.

Qi Hao's face was pale and he held the magic tricks with both hands. Although he was besieged by the outside world's magic weapons, the ** mirror gradually stabilized and the aperture became stronger. Just as everyone in the Qingyun Sect was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly realized that the hard land under his feet had moved.

He thought about it, and before he could react, he heard Zeng's "Net" cry urgently: "Be careful, there is..."

Before they finished speaking, a loud bang actually overwhelmed the whistling of the sky. In an instant, everyone felt the mountain shaking and the earth rushing out of their feet, shaking the ground, not only did they say that the four people in Qingyun Sect were flying around. The ** mirror could protect the surroundings, but could not prevent them from being under their feet. This made it suddenly difficult to get inside, and the light immediately scattered and fell back to Qi Hao's flying figure.

Countless rays of light roared by in the darkness, as if they were smug and rushing towards the four separated.

Zhang Xiaofan stood in front and was pushed by the force from his feet. He couldn't help but fly forward. However, he had been practicing in Qingyun Sect for many years, and was shocked and unconfused. He put the fire stick that he had already held in his hand on his chest. The familiar and cold feeling swam all over his body. The "fire stick" emitted a faint dark green light in the air, facing several lights that were chasing closely behind.

A moment later, one of the dark red light rushed to the front. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly smelled a bloody smell and was about to vomit. He hurriedly held his breath and drove the fire stick. The black green light rose and resisted the dark red light. Under the light of the fire stick, the dark red light suddenly dimmed a lot.

A low voice of suspicion suddenly came from an unknown place in the darkness.

At this moment, two other yellow and gray lights rushed over and hit the fire stick together. Zhang Xiaofan took advantage of the light and saw clearly that the dark red light just now was a small dark red fork with thick blood marks on it. The yellow light was a three-foot-long sword, but the gray light was very strange, and it was a huge unknown beast fang!

Zhang Xiaofan's body was still in mid-air and had already stabilized, but unexpectedly, he was hit by these three magic weapons. Although a "fire-burning stick" was pressing him in the air, the huge force pushed him straight backwards, and could no longer control him. He hit the stone wall next to him, sinking half of the person in, and the stone chips flew everywhere.

The stars in front of Zhang Xiaofan were bursting, and his back hurt in his heart, but he knew that this was a critical moment of life and death. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain and landed on the ground. Seeing the three life-seeking objects turning in the air, they rushed down fiercely again.

In the darkness, I don’t know where those who control magic weapons are?

Zhang Xiaofan supported the left and right, held the magic trick tightly and roared, and the fire stick rushed up the air, collided with the yellow flying sword and the beast's fangs in the air, and with a loud bang, each shaking away.

Another small dark red fork that was chasing quickly was not enough to close, and it roared on the stone wall behind the place where he was standing just now. The gravel flew around and made a big hole in the stone wall.

At this time, the gray fangs were recovered again, and they were smashed down on their heads. The tip of the teeth shining with cold light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Judging from its momentum, Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to know the consequences of this strange magic weapon hitting him.

Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth, and drew his hands in the void. The fire stick moved at will. A green light flashed and appeared on the fangs that were hit by his head. In the air, he heard a low muffled sound, and a crack appeared on the fangs.

A scream came from a distance, with great regret and shock.

But Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to reminisce about this little pitiful joy. The yellow flying sword rushed to the front in a blink of an eye. Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to react, his forehead was sweating, and he screamed in critical moments, his hands shook, and his whole body floated upwards, dissolved into the dark green light of the fire stick.

The yellow flying sword left no room for anything. It turned around in the air and rushed up from the soles of its feet. There were fangs on top and flying swords on bottom. Zhang Xiaofan's whole body trembled slightly. He didn't even think about it anymore. He shrank, recited a spell in his mouth, and the green light of the fire stick spread out, wrapping him around.

"Boom", two loud noises made almost at the same time sounded under Zhang Xiaofan's head and feet, and the two enemy magic weapons rushed backwards. The fire stick trembled in the air, and Zhang Xiaofan gasped, and his heart almost stopped beating at that moment. During that moment of hallucination, he almost subconsciously thought that he saw the fire stick break into pieces.

Fortunately, this fire stick of unknown material is ugly, but it is extremely tough and intact; looking at the flying sword fangs, the light is dim and most likely damaged.

But having said that, the fire stick was hit hard and the green light that raised the protection of Zhang Xiaofan also dispersed.

Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed and was about to recall the fire stick when suddenly a severe pain came from his shoulders, half of his body was exhausted, and his mind was blank. He lowered his head, and only saw a small dark red fork suddenly popping out from his chest and shoulders, penetrated through, and red blood gushed out.

It was the dark red fork just now that he took advantage of Zhang Xiaofan's slackness to attack and hurt him severely.

Zhang Xiaofan saw that the originally dark red color on the small fork seemed to light up at this moment, as if he had smelled the smell of blood and woke up.

He moaned softly, and wanted to reach out and pull out the small fork, but suddenly, as the blood marks on the dark red fork deepened, a shadow in the dark seemed to be out of nothing, rising from the small fork and then attached tightly to Zhang Xiaofan's back.

The owner of the dark red fork looked parasitic on this magic weapon.

Zhang Xiaofan felt dizzy and was unable to shake off the demon behind him. In addition to the pain, there was also a numb and itchy feeling at this moment, but I am afraid that there was a lot of poison on it.

He looked out of the corner of his eyes, but could not see the face of the demon behind him. He could only see his hands tightly grasping on his shoulders, dry and dirty, and fishy.

There was a burst of laughter in the distance, and a sinister voice came from behind: "Boy from Qingyun Sect, this is your own way of death, give me your essence and blood obediently!"

Before Zhang Xiaofan could react to the meaning of his words, he understood from his actions. The demon in the shadow actually opened his mouth wide, bit Zhang Xiaofan's left neck, and sucked blood in a big mouth.

At the same time, the dark red fork was even brighter, as if it was drinking blood.

Zhang Xiaofan was extremely frightened, but he felt that all the blood was heading towards his throat, and his body felt light and his strength slowly dissipated. Even the fire stick in the air was unable to support it and fell down.

In a daze, he suddenly seemed to have returned to the former valley.

In that nightmare!

The fire stick fell from the top of his head and when it fell in front of him, it emitted a faint green light, as if it was summoning something. Zhang Xiaofan grabbed it and suddenly felt the coldness on the fire stick surging, like anger.

The blood on his body kept flowing out and was sucked away by the demon. Zhang Xiaofan could no longer hear any sound from the outside world. He just raised the last trace of strength in his body, like a fight of a trapped beast, and inserted the fire stick with a flashing green light into the demon behind him.
