The three people here at Yiyi Xian rested to treat the wild dog. After the wild dog learned that his life was saved, he felt even more lucky. Privately, he was also a little confused about his unexpected bravery at the time. But no matter what, after this incident, Yiyi Xian and

The relationship between Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog has become closer. After all, they have lived together in life and death. Zhou Xian is no longer as sarcastic to Taoist Wild Dog as before. He only orders him to work, but it is still the same as before, but Taoist Wild Dog

After all, he was seriously injured, and most of the time it was Zhou Xian who did the most, which caused his old man to complain.

Xiaohuan and the wild dog are still the same as before, but the wild dog seems to be more afraid of Taoist in front of Xiaohuan, and he talks to Xiaohuan less than before. Although Xiaohuan is strange, he doesn't feel that in these days,

But more of her energy was attracted to that seemingly ordinary book with a black cover.

Wild Dog Taoist had never seen Xiao Huan read this book before, which was quite strange. However, Xiao Huan never mentioned the origin of the book, and Zhou Xian was also vague about it. As time went by, he gradually got used to it, but occasionally felt that Xiao Huan

Huan's expression seemed to be gradually different, but he couldn't tell what was different from before.

The catastrophe of beast monsters arises from the hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang, and the first one to suffer is the land of southern Xinjiang.

The people of all ethnic groups here have been tortured by beast monsters even more severely than in Middle-earth. Ten rooms and nine empty houses are almost the inevitable end of many villages and towns. Even in the entire village and fortress, no one survives, and from time to time there are no survivors.

Appear.

After the catastrophe, the remaining small groups of beast monsters in southern Xinjiang were far more numerous than those in Middle-earth. The people who were lucky enough to survive the catastrophe often had to endure the raging intrusions of the remaining beast monsters. They lived a really dark life.

, the water is in dire straits and the fire is hot.

It was under such circumstances that Gui Li set foot on the land of southern Xinjiang again.

Along the way, he did not find any traces of the beast god, but countless people from the right path flocked to him, including Qingyun, Fenxiang and other famous figures. Many of these people seemed to be crazy, looking for the beast god one after another.

His whereabouts, but it is obvious that many people have been looking for him, but no one has found him.

After Qingyun was defeated in a battle, the beast god who escaped after being seriously injured seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no one could find him again. But the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang has always been his former home. No matter what, he will come back, right?

With this idea in mind, Gui Li entered Southern Xinjiang. Along with him, there were countless righteous disciples. Among them, the Fenxiang Valley lineage was returning to their hometown. After all, Fenxiang Valley was in Southern Xinjiang, but the purpose of other righteous disciples coming was naturally

It's not just to help the people of southern Xinjiang get rid of the remaining small groups of beast monsters.

But no matter what, because of the arrival of these people, the remaining unscrupulous beast monsters have temporarily restrained themselves. After all, these righteous disciples will take action to get rid of these beast monsters if they can. In this way, the atmosphere in southern Xinjiang has changed.

Be inspired by it.

It's just that no one has found the shadow of the Beast God on the southern border. Now the only possibility is in the barren mountains and the strange and mysterious Hundred Thousand Mountains.

There are so many secrets hidden in the layers of black mountains!

Before entering the mountain, Gui Li went to Qilidong of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. For no other reason than to pay homage to what the great wizard had done for Baguio that day.

Along the way from Tianshui Village to Qilidong, the bustling and lively scene was no longer there. It was so miserable that even his heart, which he thought had been hardened, couldn't help but be moved by it.

Why on earth would there be such a catastrophe that wreaked havoc on the people of the world?

He himself has achieved success in spiritual practice and has stayed out of this huge evil tide, but what about the countless suffering people all over the world? What mistakes did they make, and why do they have to endure such disaster?

Recalling that in Tianyin Temple, countless people worshiped and prayed to the gods and Buddhas day and night. Looking around the world, there were many more people doing this, paying homage to the gods. But when a disaster was imminent, there were

Who helped them?

So, is this kind of worship still useful?

Or is it really in response to the mysterious words that run through the "Book of Heaven":

The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs?

※※※

When he stepped into Qili Cave, Gui Li took a breath of cold air. This place, which he thought was once a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, was already dilapidated and ruined. Almost all of the originally densely packed houses were only ruined walls and streets.

The bustling crowds of the past are no longer seen on the street, let alone those children running and playing.

The remnants of the people could only be seen to be only one or two tenths. Most of them were in front of the dilapidated houses, desperately and laboriously packing up something, trying to find usable things from the ruins. However, often what they could find was nothing.

They are the remains of the deceased.

The entire Qilidong was filled with a sad and decadent atmosphere. Occasionally, a few children would stand there blankly, their eyes full of confusion and fear. In a short while, adults would come out from behind.

Pulled them in again.

Gui Li walked slowly along the street, and soon attracted the attention of some Miao people. There was a strong sense of vigilance in their eyes. In the strange atmosphere, even the little gray on Gui Li's shoulder seemed to

It is also much more honest, although it is still looking around.

Gui Li sighed secretly and didn't want to look any further, so he quickened his pace and walked straight towards the altar on the hillside deep in Qili Cave. The further he walked in, the surrounding houses and roads were clearly visible, and the more dilapidated they became.

Gui Li remained silent, seeming to vaguely see that when the catastrophe came that day, many Miao warriors were fighting to the death against the ferocious beasts and monsters in order to protect the holy land!

Even the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood.

At the foot of the mountain, two young Miao soldiers stopped him. Gui Li silently stopped and looked at them. These two men were holding spears and wearing armor, but they were only fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys.

, even the armor on their bodies looks wider than their bodies. I wonder if it is left behind by the brave warriors in the past.

"How many times does Gulu call?" a person asked in Miao language.

Gui Li didn't understand, but he guessed what he was going to ask, so he didn't say anything. He just raised his head to look at the mountainside. He didn't use his fingers because he still remembered that the Miao people regarded this kind of behavior as disrespectful.

action.

The two teenagers were startled for a moment and looked at each other. Then one of the teenagers seemed to be slightly older and shook his head. Neither of them moved away. Gui Li felt slightly anxious in his heart, but he really didn't want to talk to the one who had helped him.

He had to take action against his own great wizard tribe, and seeing the tragic elephant in Qili Cave, he couldn't take action either.

He was silent for a long time. When the hostility in the eyes of the two teenagers became more and more serious, he sighed, turned around, and was about to leave.

He had just walked a few steps when suddenly there was a commotion on the mountain. He turned around and looked. After a while, a man ran down the mountainside quickly. He first said a few words to the two teenagers in Miao language.

The young man nodded repeatedly and stood aside. Then, this man who looked like a priest in his forties said to the ghost in a somewhat broken Chinese language:

"Hello, big, big wizard, please come up."

Gui Li was startled and frowned: "Great wizard?"

The man nodded repeatedly. Gui Li took a deep breath, nodded, and followed the man up the hillside.

The cave is still in the same place, but the buildings and stone platforms at the entrance have been changed beyond recognition. The rocks are broken and rolled all over the ground. Among the rocks, there is a young Miao man who looks like nothing more than a man.

He was about thirty years old, wearing a great wizard's robe, and looked at Gui Li walking towards him with a smile.

His eyes were dimly shining, as if there was a flame of passion burning in them, which was completely different from those of the Miao people at the foot of the mountain.

Gui Li walked up to him. The young man smiled slightly and suddenly said in fluent Chinese dialect: "Hello, Mr. Gui Li, I am the new generation great wizard of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. I have admired your name for a long time."

Gui Li was startled for a moment, then nodded in return. Before he could speak, the young great wizard had already smiled and said, "Please come in, and I will take you to see the new great wizard."

After that, he led the way into the still dark cave. Gui Li followed behind him and slowly melted into the darkness.

It was still dark in the cave, and the figure of the young wizard was shaking slightly in front. Somehow, Gui Li felt that he looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the last time he came here, the wizard had called out this

The young man never thought that after a short period of time, he would actually take over the position of the great wizard.

Just like last time, the young wizard took Gui Li to the room where the dog god was worshiped deep in the cave. The huge fire was still burning and making a crackling sound, but the old and withered figure was no longer there.

.

The young man stepped forward and bowed to the statue of the Inu God. Then he took out a wooden box from the mouth of the statue of the Inu God, placed it respectfully on the ground, and then said to the ghost: "We Miao people

According to the custom, after the death of great wizards in the past, they must be enshrined under the Inugami statue for one year, and these will be his ashes."

Gui Li silently looked at the small wooden box. The whole box was plain and plain, without any decoration. Even the wood used was the most common tree in southern Xinjiang. The great wizard, like countless Miao people, slept peacefully here.

Guili bent his body and bowed deeply.

The monkey Xiao Hui squeaked, jumped off him, and ran to the side.

The young wizard followed the custom of the Middle Earth and bowed down to return the gift. Then he carefully lifted the plain wooden box and put it into the mouth of the Inugami statue again.

Two people sat on the ground next to the fire. The light of the fire reflected in their eyes, which was very bright in the darkness.

Before Gui Li could ask, the young man had already said calmly: "I was his disciple when the old man was alive, but after the terrible disaster, all the elder priests here died, so I inherited the position of the great wizard.

.”

Gui Li nodded silently, looked unexpectedly at the dog god statue in the distance, and said slowly: "The great wizard died for me. Every time I think about this, I feel uneasy."

The young great wizard bowed slightly and said: "You are wrong. Master has told me a long time ago that his life has expired. Even if he does not go to the Central Plains, there is only one way to die. But the noble sect can send Master's ashes back.

This is already a great blessing for us all Miao people."

Gui Li sighed and whispered: "These things were done by other caring people and have nothing to do with me."

The young great wizard smiled, obviously not caring about Gui Li's words, and said, "But this time you came to our Qilidong, but I don't know what you did?"

Gui Li said: "Actually, it's not for anything else. I just came here to pay homage to the great wizard. In addition, this disaster is so severe. I intend to pursue the culprit, the beast god. I wonder if you have any clues?"

The face of the young great wizard changed slightly. Obviously, for him, the word beast god was still a very scary and taboo word. He quickly fell silent. After a while, Gui Li said calmly: "You don't have to worry about it.

Countless people in the world have tried to find him, but they have not been able to find him. It is normal for you not to know. I am here to disturb you, so I will take my leave."

After that, he was about to get up, but the young wizard had a look of hesitation on his face, and suddenly said: "Is it true that you are going to track down that beast god?"

Gui Li said: "Yes."

The young wizard stared at him closely and said, "You can kill him."

Gui Li was silent for a long time and said, "I'm not sure."
