Strange rocks protruded on both sides of the mountain stream, and heavy fog filled the field of vision. The sight was only two steps away. Qin Shouyan, Zhu Jingshu and others did not know how long they had walked when they stepped into this mountain stream.
Except for the fog getting thicker and thicker, the surroundings were completely silent.
"Senior Brother Feihe, how long do we have to walk through this mountain stream?" A disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect looked at the back of his fellow disciple walking in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
He couldn't help but ask the Feihe Taoist Priest of Tianshi Mansion who was half a step behind him. The latter only said, "We're almost there." "I also walked for a long time when I came."
Ahead, Zhu Jingshu, who was walking with her sword in hand, turned her head slightly, glanced behind her, lowered her voice, and whispered to the senior brother beside her: "Did you notice that Senior Brother Feihe looked a little unnatural all the way here?"
The Canglan Sword Sect has a deep friendship with the Northern Tianshi Mansion. Whether it is testing or questioning, it is a bit scary. If the guess is wrong, it will hurt the feelings of both parties.
But a woman's natural instinct told her that Senior Brother Feihe behind her was a bit uncoordinated in his words and deeds.
But I couldn't tell what was different.
On the side, Qin Shouyan frowned. Saying such words at such a moment made him a little uncomfortable, but he still had a cautious attitude when going out.
He squeezed the scabbard tightly, stopped immediately, and turned around: "Brother Feihe, does your master, Master Guangling, know about this?"
When asked about this suddenly, Feihe Taoist priest was not unnatural and said with a chuckle:
"Haha, Junior Brother Qin misremembered. Master Guangling is not my master. He became an immortal and returned two years ago. My master is Master Guiming."
There was nothing wrong with his reply, which caused the Canglan Sword Sect disciples walking around, as well as Zhu Jingshu and Fei Xuanze in front of them to stop and turn their heads to look at the Feihe Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion.
Standing there, a trace of mist curled up on his face with a smile.
"Why did you stop? Did you say anything wrong? It's better not to talk too much here. It's important to get rid of those weird monsters."
He was answered by three "Clang!" sounds of drawing a sword.
The sword chant stopped, Zhu Jingshu, Qin Shouyan, and Fei Xuan held their swords in mid-air and pointed at each other. At the same time, the other three Canglan Sword Sect disciples seemed to have thought of something. They suddenly felt something was wrong and distanced themselves from Feihe one by one.
.
Someone said:
"Senior Brother Feihe, on the day when the Tianshi Mansion was released from the mountain gate, Fengtian Master once warned all the disciples in the sect not to report their family status to anyone who asks, no matter when or where they are. It is impossible for Senior Brother Feihe to not know this."
"I naturally know that, but with the friendship between our two factions, we don't have to abide by these rules too much." Feihe smiled and spread his hands, and was about to go.
"do not come!"
Qin Shouyan raised his sword and shouted fiercely, the blade of the sword lit up with magic light: "Disciples of the Tianshi Mansion have always given priority to abiding by the sect's rules, let alone what you said. So it's not Feihe at all!"
Over there, Feihe stopped walking, and no words were heard. Taoist Feihe's smile gradually faded, and he looked at everyone with a sinister look, and then stepped back step by step. Before anyone could react, his figure had disappeared.
In thick fog.
The three Canglan Sword Sect disciples held their swords and were about to chase after them, but Zhu Jingshu stopped them: "Don't chase, there are weird things everywhere here, don't get distracted, be careful not to let him take advantage of them."
The three people looked at the vast expanse of white in front of them, subconsciously retracted their feet and leaned towards their senior brothers and sisters.
"Brother and sister, what should we do next?"
"Senior Brother Feihe must have been poisoned. If we retreat, we will definitely not be able to retreat. We can only move forward."
Just as Qin Shouyan finished speaking, Zhu Jingshu suddenly let out a 'hiss', and saw her eyes moving around, looking left, right, and in front of her, moving slowly with steps, while the others listened carefully.
In the diffuse white fog, there was a rustling sound.
"Someone!"
A disciple suddenly shouted in a low voice, and the outline of a person suddenly appeared in the diffuse mist, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"There are some here too."
"Are they humans or demons?"
As we walked further, in the thick fog around us, people's shadows shimmered or gathered in piles. Looking at the group of people in the fog, they made bursts of rustling sounds, which sounded to several people's ears like whispers.
.
Buzz!
Buzz buzz...
There was a lot of noise. Qin Shouyan touched his sword and threw it forward: "Open the way!"
The magic sword sank into the fog in front, and the dense fog instantly tore apart. Immediately, it quickly closed again, and the magic sword that was shot seemed to have lost its sense. The next moment, the wind howled, and everyone instinctively avoided it. The thick fog behind them
The fog surged, and in an instant, a sword broke through the clouds and flew from behind.
Qin Shouyan grabbed it, it was his sword.
He was obviously rushing forward, but why was he flying from behind?
For a moment, his breathing was a little urgent and his expression was ugly. Zhu Jingshu and others also looked at each other. This was the first time they had encountered such a strange thing.
After a while, Qin Shouyan's voice was low: "Let's wield the sword together and rush through here in one breath!"
The remaining Zhu Jingshu, Fei Xuanze, and the three disciples looked at each other, pulled out the magical swords in their hands, pushed the sword fingers forward, and the six magical swords joined together to break through the fog.
Follow behind.
The sound of 'tapping' footsteps lingers in the mist.
…
In the mountains.
In a certain deep cave, Chen Yuan withdrew his magic power and dragged a Taoist priest named Feihe to a corner where his vision was obscured. The latter rested for a while, and his mind and physical strength gradually recovered.
"...Thank you fellow Taoist for your help. If you hadn't come here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."
"Where is this place? And what is that full moon floating in the sky?"
This Taoist priest was the first one to come in. Judging from his appearance, he must have discovered something inside or encountered something strange, so he asked for help from Canglan Jianmen. Chen Yuan naturally wanted to ask first. If it was too dangerous,
The rescuer took the other person through the cave passage from which he came and left.
Feihe leaned against the cave wall with his eyes closed and shook his head, obviously he didn't know the details.
"...It seems that fellow Taoist also discovered that thing. Unfortunately, I also discovered it accidentally, so I chased here and came in from the top of the mountain, but I didn't want to fall into a big pit...it was full of...all the corpses of children.
There are hundreds of them, some are very old, some are still with skin and bones... This place is definitely not a good and blessed place... I walked deeper with the idea of conquering demons."
"The cave was very strange, there was no sound... I used the method of discovering the full moon and looked around with my peripheral vision... there were many... many strange figures standing on the cave wall, and there were faint sounds of whispering.
... No matter how you cast the spell, you can't do anything to the other party. Somehow, fear and anxiety will still arise in your heart."
"... In panic, I lost my bearings and affected my Taoist mind. I walked around in a panic, but accidentally came to a wide cave. In the darkness, I saw a huge stone tablet with dense carvings on it that I couldn't understand.
The talisman... Below, there was another person sitting on the altar... I was about to step forward... Suddenly there was a buzzing in my ears, as if someone had tapped me on the shoulder, and my mana was draining away. I hurriedly ran away.
come out……"
After listening to his story, Chen Yuan felt uneasy in her heart. This was different from the first time Liu's family met Yin Cha. The former at least knew what he was facing and could think of ways to deal with it.
Right now it is completely unknown and indescribably weird.
"I'll take you away first."
After saying that, he lifted the Taoist priest up and walked out of the cave with the trembling Sun Zhengde and his master. The Taoist priest beside him weakly warned: "Don't look around with your peripheral vision...or they will see you too."
Chen Yuan nodded silently, looking back from time to time to see if the Fat Taoist and the master were following. He followed the path he took in his memory. After all, he didn't go very far, but after passing those tombs and arriving in front of the abyss, he looked up.
On the mountain wall, the narrow cave passage that we entered before has disappeared.
The fat Taoist's face suddenly turned pale, and he sat down on the ground and shivered. The crazy old man jumped up, crossed the abyss below, climbed up the mountain wall, groped for a few times, and then came back.
"Apprentice, it's really strange. Where did the hole go?"
The crazy old man had an angry look on his face. Before Chen Yuan could speak, he waved his hands wildly as if he was having a mad attack. The magic power of the golden elixir realm suddenly emerged, and like a vent, he smashed the stretching pile of tombs into pieces, leaving a lot of gray
Corpses were scattered everywhere.
The Taoist priest Feihe looked at the crazy old man and was so shocked that he could not speak. He never thought that the inconspicuous old man was actually in the golden elixir realm. He could vaguely feel that the other party was even in the golden elixir realm, but the magic power he used had a rich
The violence and evil...
But when a corpse fell in front of him, Taoist Feihe suddenly trembled.
"Fellow Taoist... they are them... the figures I saw are them, and the person sitting under the stone tablet seems to be the same as them..."
"Then do you still remember where the cave is?"
The road he came from has disappeared, and Chen Yuan has not yet had the ability to break out of the mountain. I am afraid that the cave entrance on the top of the mountain where the Taoist priest came from has probably disappeared.
The only path now is the cave with the huge stone tablet mentioned by the Taoist priest.
"Remember something... Since fellow Taoist wants to, I will accompany you all the way!"
Feihe Taoist priest gritted his teeth, raised his hand to pinch out the magic formula and drew talismans on his body. His expression improved a little, and he could walk on the ground without being held up by Chen Yuan, so he walked forward to lead the way.
The four of them returned to the original entrance of the cave, followed the route remembered by Taoist Feihe, and passed through a flat rock. In several caves, they saw many jars piled in corners. The crazy old man opened them curiously, and found something stuffed inside.
Children's clothes and some even a pile of bones were scattered.
"Evil!"
Feihe Taoist priest looked at these dozens of jars with red eyes, each one representing a child inside. He cursed in a low voice before turning around and leaving.
After traveling through several caves, they arrived at a very spacious corridor. The Taoist priest looked around and pointed in a familiar direction.
"That's it."
The dim cave stretched, and at the end seemed to be endless darkness. It opened its huge mouth and waited for Chen Yuan and the others to come over.
"Be careful, don't look around with your peripheral vision."
Stepping into the entrance of the cave, Chen Yuan gave a warning, and the wooden sculptures hanging all over his body fell to the ground one by one, climbing or walking around his feet, trying to ignore the peripheral vision and look straight ahead.
However, there was always a pale shimmer moving in his peripheral vision. He knew it was the full moon, and it was lingering not far away, as if it wanted to attract the four people to see it in their peripheral vision.
In the weak pale light, Chen Yuan, the fat Taoist, and the crazy old man also saw the stone tablet standing at the front of the mountain wall, like a giant sword that reached the sky and was inserted into the mountain.
The tiny talismans on it look huge in human eyes, and the dense arrangement of dragons, seals, and phoenix seals makes one's scalp tingle.
Taking a few steps closer, a pale white light followed him in the peripheral vision, but it also allowed Chen Yuan to see clearly the altar under the stone tablet.
Indeed, as Taoist Feihe said, a thin figure sat on a stone chair, like a dried corpse, with wrinkled robes clinging to the body and eyes closed.
"Maybe this person is Chang Wei."
If you can see it clearly, it must not be those figures in the cave, not to mention that the other person is still wearing a robe. When Chen Yuan took two steps closer, he discovered that the corpse did not have its eyes closed tightly, but the eyelids were sewn up with needle and thread. .
"That is……"
Chen Yuan suddenly saw the altar in front of the corpse. There was a crystal clear round bead placed on a wooden base, curling with air.
He and Taoist Feihe looked at each other, and the latter shook his head: "I don't know what it is. But it looks familiar."
"Do you feel like the full moon?"
When Chen Yuan spoke, the pale light in his peripheral vision seemed to hear his words, and the light became more and more powerful. The next moment, Chen Yuan raised his hand and waved, and a puppet rushed out from under his feet and rushed directly to the altar. Hit the ball.
The moment of contact.
The corpse behind the altar moved, and its thin arms directly swept away the puppet that hit the ball, scattering it in pieces on the ground.
call--
Under the stitched eyes, dry lips, beard trembled, and the sound of breathing softly sounded in the cave.
In an instant, the mountain was shaking slightly.
…
Thick fog rolled up the mountain stream. As if in an illusion, the exhausted group of six people saw a stone door behind the thick fog in front of them.
"Passed!"
"You know you can travel through it if you keep going forward!"
"Go and have a look first!"
As he spoke, Qin Shouyan was quite proud of his method. The six of them used their magic power to push the huge stone door together. With a heavy friction sound, the stone door slowly opened a gap, which was enough for them to walk in.
