A circle of blue demonic fire burned more intensely, and the half-human-high fire wall blocked the group of snakes. If viewed from the sky at this moment, it looked like a circular snake ring, with three helpless people standing in the center.
"Is there anything the Taoist can do?" Chi Li raised his sword and faced the arrogant snakes. "If not, we will kill them by force."
"You will definitely be bitten - and then poisoned. Even if you are not poisoned to death, you will be infected by She Ji's full set and need his antidote." Lin Shanhai shook his head and objected, "But there may be a way."
Chi Li and Mo Liang both looked at him, a little confused and didn't know what else to do.
"She Ji's five elements belong to water."
"Ah..." Mo Liang understood something, "You want to use the five elements to suppress them... No wonder."
When the Taoist priest lit up the blue flame, Mo Liang understood a little bit. Lin Shanhai must have suspected that open fire was useless to these demonic snakes, so he used cold fire to test it. Although this kind of demonic fire cannot suppress water,
, does not have the fierceness of open fire, but at the same time it also restrains water-type things to a certain extent. Until now, they have not all attacked, so the Taoist priest's guess is probably correct. The same goes for the Gu insects controlled by She Ji.
The five elements belong to water.
"Water comes and earth covers them, and only earth methods can suppress them. Tengu Li could have...but it is injured like this now."
After understanding the intentions of the two onmyojis, Chi Li also started to make plans. Shan Hai knew that he could not understand everything about soil like Wu Yin and talk to the mountains and the earth. He pondered for a while and patted Mo Liang on the shoulder.
"Can you recite the Native Mantra? I'm afraid I can't do it alone."
"You want...Okay, I understand."
According to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, fire generates earth, and earth restrains water. Creating fire in the water evil seems to be suicidal, but there is a clever plan in it. Snakes have already passed through the fire wall and tried to attack them, and between two
When people are mumbling curses, Chili must ensure their absolute safety. The restless snakes probably figured out their intentions and became more turbulent. Strangely enough, they seemed to have some kind of group intelligence, similar to ants.
A swarm or a swarm of bees, probably because of the existence of Gu King - or She Ji herself as the "queen" to give them this characteristic. Even if the body fragments are not their own, they can be spliced together as before, which in itself violates the purpose
In addition to the survival instinct of animals, it is just to achieve a "bigger" goal. It is a kind of population continuation wisdom that overrides the individual's will to survive.
Once this wisdom changes its nature, it becomes poison.
A relatively huge python, about as thick as a man's neck, rushed in, its body ablaze with the blue flames of a wall of fire. Chili held the sword behind her back and wanted to cut it off directly, but it was too fast, as if it had been prepared long ago.
After losing strength, Chi Li instinctively raised his sword to protect himself after it rushed towards them. The tip of the sword was stabbed into the snake's jaw. With the help of inertia, its body was scratched all the way down. In the end, there were only two rag-like snakes.
Half of his body lay limply at the feet of Shan Hai and Mo Liang.
They jumped around a few times, but did not regenerate.
Chi Li understood. As long as the wound is big enough, they will still lose the activity of resurrection.
On the other side, the spells of Shanhai and Moliang took effect. The burning flames began to change colors, from blue to purple, from purple to red, from red to gold, and they were as bizarre as the divine light in the dark night of the far north. Finally, those
Something in the soft and light flame was solidified, took root in the soil, and became as solid as a rock, unbreakable.
The stone thorns are as tall as the scurrying flames, and their shapes are uneven, like the interlacing of canine teeth. They continue to spread outward, like burning and spreading wildfires. However, this fire has no temperature, is very hard, and quickly grows from among the snakes.
Get up and penetrate their bodies. Once penetrated by such a ground thorn, the snake will struggle violently and then turn into a pool of blood and seep into the ground.
They will not be afraid, nor will they run away. Even if the battle is so tragic, there are still poison snakes coming one after another. Mo Liang and Chi Li cut them off vertically with their swords, and the snakes turned into rags in the ground. Although there is nothing
There were blood stains, but there was still a disgusting stench in the air, like something had been rotting for too long.
The enemy's momentum was greatly reduced. Shan Hai hugged the little Tengu and broke through the encirclement with the two of them. At this time, the Tengu in his arms suddenly struggled and screamed, making a fierce voice, as if he was dissatisfied with something, more like he wanted to say something.
.
"What?" Shan Hai tried to understand, "What's wrong? Where to go...?"
It pointed the direction of Dai Luan with its cry, and they did not dare to neglect it for a moment.
The terrain has become uneven and pitted, and the plants growing here have grown crookedly. After all, if you don't do this, you won't even be able to take root here. At first glance, no one has been here, and it is even more deserted than the cemetery.
Before they could see anything concretely, the three of them noticed that the skylight in front of the tall weeds pile became strange. An extremely eye-catching red was scattered in all directions, so red that it turned purple, making the night sky deeper and more remote.
"Uh ah..." Mo Liang made a very uncomfortable sound, "I feel very uncomfortable... my bones are very hot. Whether it's the sword or myself."
"Don't come any closer." Shanhai patted his back through his long hair. Chili looked at those hairs, but they didn't get longer, probably because his heart was "not idle" anymore.
.
What is going on in his mind? Does he finally want to live?
She doesn't know.
"Miss Chili, please stay here and take care of him. He is very strong and can indeed protect himself, but I'm afraid that the monster has some evil plans for him and the weapons in his hands. He still needs you."
"...I know. But, but -"
"I will go alone." Shanhai said, "I am my own apprentice. I can protect her."
"I understand. Please be more careful."
Shan Hai entrusted the curled up Tengu to Chi Li. The Tengu squirmed a little, as if he wanted to go with him. But Chi Li hugged it tightly, fearing that it would really follow. She took Mo Liang's bone sword in her other hand.
Mo Liang took the Tengu in her arms and hugged it tighter. Its hair was not as soft as before, and the exposed skin color made it no longer cute. But Mo Liang just held it and sniffed it gently.
It has a "furry" smell that belongs to the canine family but is different from the canine family.
Lin Shanhai waved his whisk, and the weeds in front of him naturally parted to both sides, forming a narrow path as he moved forward. Chili and Mo Liang silently watched him from behind until he was completely submerged in the weeds.
Crossing the grass, Shan Hai saw a small house. The wooden house was full of charms that he had never seen before. He couldn't see it yet, but he could feel it. The first thing that caught his attention was the front of the wooden house.
Her small figure was familiar to him. So he sped up and ran up a few steps, pulling her into his arms.
"Teacher... mountains, mountains and seas?"
He felt Dai Luan trembling. Although it was very light, the reaction that symbolized fear was so clear. Dai Luan pointed at the room and shook her head. The peach wood sword in her hand was in pieces. Her mind was very confused and the words in her mouth were
I can't even put together a complete sentence.
"I tried - I tried my best to preserve it, I didn't want it to be broken like this. Inside, inside is, just... I don't know if she is alive? Alive? I can't figure it out, but she can move and talk.
, she knows me, and I know her. I should know her, but...but..."
Shan Hai looked over, and there was indeed a person inside. She looked like a scarecrow blown down by the strong wind in the field, with disheveled hair like a female ghost. She stretched out her hands hard and moved forward in vain on the ground with her nails. But if she looked carefully, she saw that her white
There were clearly no nails on her hands - they had been pulled out, leaving only some red blood scabs. The hands were uninjured, and they should have been able to move for a while. When she raised her head, she looked directly into the non-existent eyes,
Shan Hai felt suffocated.
It would be fine if she was just an ordinary person... But she was not ordinary. Shan Hai clearly remembered the outline of her appearance. Seeing his former friend reduced to what he is now, he only felt a sense of fear and an inexplicable anger.
.
"Taoist Master Lin..."
Xie Huayao suddenly stopped moving. She felt the arrival and let out a sigh. The voice was indeed hers, but Shanhai didn't feel the slightest bit relieved. He protected Dai Luan behind him and took a few steps closer.
"Kill, kill..." Her words became broken, "I, the disciples of Gu Shu, have disappeared... They are all buried in the cemetery. Disobedient disciples will be killed... I am, try
Poison is..."
"Speak slowly." Shanhai knelt down next to her, "Do you mean that the disciples who resist will be arrested and tested for medicine? If they die, they will be buried? This poison of yours has not been cured before.
, it’s still new.”
"New, new...the old poison has not been cured, and the new medicine has not fully taken effect...I was able to preserve some consciousness and pretend to be under control. He asked A Ling and I to choose the medicine...saying that one was poison and the other
Then nothing will happen. I am, Onmyoji...I recognized the problematic medicine, so I snatched it to eat..."
"So A Ling has gone home, you stay?"
"They lied to me... As soon as A Ling left, She Ji said that the medicine was also... a poison. It was latent and could not be seen... Please leave me alone, please, go save her and save everyone.
The poison is hidden in her body, and one day she will..."
"These bastards! They all deserve to die! Is this what the Shadow Pavilion did?!"
Dai Luan screamed, and the peach wood sword in her hand trembled.
"The Death Shadow Pavilion has always... only studied forbidden methods. Gao Yuejun almost never asked about his subordinates'... misbehaviors. If these forbidden skills are spread and used by evil people, life will be ruined... If there is no way, please...
…Kill Aring and burn the body clean.”
"How, how can we..."
The sound of mountains and seas trembles like Aluan.
"You must..."
Dai Luan lay on the ground and tried her best to look into her eyes. But the two holes were too dark, without a trace of light.
"You have to live... let's go find Aling together, you all have to live. We will find a way to save you, you..."
"No, it's useless -" Xie Huayao raised his neck and looked in the direction of the moon, "It's already too late."
"Why?!"
Dai Luan and Shan Hai suddenly noticed that there was a deep purple bruise on her fair and slender neck.
