"Since there are still three days until July 14th, we will set off to the Nangong Tombs early tomorrow morning to get to the bottom of this matter." Leng Yi said.
"You guys have a good rest tonight. We will leave for the Nangong Tomb early tomorrow morning. Everyone, please retreat." The leader ordered.
"Yes! Disciple, I obey!" Leng Yi and others responded, and then exited Wuji Pavilion. Since tonight's second update, they had to secretly go to the forbidden area in the back mountain, so even if it was not sunset yet, they all went back to their rooms first.
Went to rest.
After Leng Yi and the others left, the Tianzong elder said: "Master, the curse suffered by Leng Yi is obviously negative, why should you deceive him?"
"Hey, Elder Tianzong, look at Leng Yi who loves his mother so much. How can he bear it if he knows the truth? It's better to let him continue to misunderstand like this. Is it right or wrong for me to do this?
"The leader sighed.
"Perhaps some things should be left to his own judgment, but some things are too cruel after all. Leng Yi is a compassionate and righteous person, why do his parents bring him up like this?" Elder Feng Shu sighed.
That night, Feixue had a very strange dream. She dreamed that in a huge ancient tomb, when Leng Yi opened a coffin, an evil aura suddenly came out of the coffin, and Leng Yi unexpectedly
Possessed by an evil ghost! Then, Leng Yi fell in a pool of blood, while Murong Yu stood beside him holding a sword, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword...
"Ah!!!" Feixue was woken up by a nightmare in the middle of the night, dripping with sweat.
"What kind of dream is this?" Feixue was still in shock, and the figure of Leng Yi lying in a pool of blood lingered in her mind. Feixue shook her head violently, this was just a dream. Why take it seriously?
What? Feixue thought like this and fell asleep again...
At the second watch tonight, everyone gathered in front of the disciple's bedroom door. Feixue was the last one to arrive.
"Why are you slower than me?" Leng Yi saw Feixue approaching and stepped forward to greet him.
The moon was sparse and stars were blowing, and the breeze was blowing on my face. The shallow moonlight made the flying snow even more hazy, as if a fairy had descended to earth.
"Uh-huh!" Feixue faked a cough to help Leng Yi recover from the shock. Murong Yu was here, so Leng Yi was too embarrassed to be like this!
"Feixue, why are your eyes so red and swollen? Have you cried?" Leng Yi asked.
It turned out that Leng Yi was worried about her, but Feixue didn't know how to answer. It couldn't be said that she dreamed that Leng Yi was dead and then cried and her eyes turned red? That would really embarrass her! Feixue could only answer hesitantly: "
I, I'm fine. Maybe I didn't wake up?"
"We'd better go to the forbidden area in the back mountain quickly. If we are discovered by other disciples, it will be troublesome." Murong Yue said. She didn't know what happened to her. Seeing Leng Yi caring so much about Feixue, her heart actually felt faint.
It hurts. But Leng Yi is not her type at all. She should like a man like Murong Yu who can stand alone.
After Murong Yue finished speaking, the five of them walked towards the forbidden area in the back mountain. The closer they got to the forbidden area in the back mountain, the stronger the invisible sense of oppression became!
The further you go to the forbidden area of the back mountain, the more prosperous the Kunlun Fairy Mountain no longer exists, replaced by a pure mountain forest. The trees here are lush and leafy, slightly blocking the moonlight. The sporadic moonlight falls, leaving a lot of
The mottled shadows and dim light made the mountainous area even more spooky. Leng Yi and others could not help but slow down their pace and increase their vigilance.
Walking further, you can feel the looming evil spirit in front of you, and the woods are also covered with a thin layer of mist.
"Here... I seem to have been here..." Leng Yi suddenly froze on the spot and murmured.
"What?!" Everyone turned around and looked at Leng Yi in shock.
"I have a hunch that I seem to have been here before." Leng Yi said.
Feixue burst into laughter upon hearing this and said, "Please! Ever since we went up the mountain, there has never been a day when we weren't together. How come I didn't know you had been here?"
"Maybe... maybe Leng Yi came here at night." Chi Yan said.
"Hmph! Even he himself is not sure. Could it be that he is sleepwalking?" Murong Yue said coldly.
"General, the Forbidden Land in the Houshan Mountains is right in front of us. We still need to hurry up," Murong Yu said.
Walking a little further, the front suddenly opened up. What came into view was a mountainous area. Without the cover of trees, the moonlight poured down, illuminating the huge door in front of it in an extremely eerie and strange way.
On both sides of the door are engraved four large characters: Back Mountain Forbidden Area - Forbidden Gate.
Even through such a door, you can still feel the huge and ominous evil spirit coming from the other end of the door. Above the forbidden door, the clouds are rolling, dark waves are surging, and the whirlpool of evil energy seems to be sweeping through you.
I want to swallow this whole land.
"It seems that the monsters sealed in this door are no ordinary monsters." Murong Yue said. Although the monsters inside were all sealed, Leng Yi and others still retreated far away.
"Kunlun Fairy Mountain is a holy land for cultivating immortals. It is reasonable to have a place to seal monsters like the Monster Locking Tower in Shushan Mountain, but why should it be regarded as a forbidden place?" Murong Yu asked doubtfully.
"Is there some ulterior secret hidden here? That's why no one is allowed to enter?" Feixue speculated.
"Do you think this has any connection with the mastermind behind the scenes?" Chi Yan asked.
"Hey! This is not easy. Just ask the monsters inside and you will know." Leng Yi said and walked up and shouted: "Hey! Monsters inside, listen, I, Leng Yi, have a few questions.
I want to ask you!"
Feixue was so angry that she pulled Leng Yi back and yelled: "You are looking for death!" Feixue wanted to continue scolding, but heard a crisp female voice coming from the forbidden door: "Boy, you have it!"
Seed! I am the Demon Queen. If you want to ask anything, please come forward."
Just as Leng Yi was about to step forward, Feixue stopped her and said, "Don't go, she is the Demon Queen, and I'm afraid she is the master of all demons within the Forbidden Gate. Her abilities are beyond what we can imagine. This Gate can seal her."
, but I don’t know if it can seal her attack.”
"That is, if you get within reach of her, she will most likely kill you instantly!" Chi Yan said.
"Even if there is danger, I have to step forward and give it a try. If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I will never get it again." Leng Yi said firmly.
Although the person waiting for Leng Yi ahead may be the God of Death, he still has to go for it. There are too many mysteries plaguing them at the moment. Maybe the Demon Queen knows who is behind the scenes. If he can ask, then that's fine.
Resolve the disaster in Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
"You're always like this, you don't take your life seriously!" Feixue said and turned away. She knew she couldn't persuade Leng Yi, but she was worried that Leng Yi would be gone forever.
"Don't worry, I won't die." Leng Yi glanced at Feixue, then walked forward until he reached the Forbidden Gate before stopping. Just as Leng Yi was about to speak, he saw a sudden floating sound in the Forbidden Gate.
A long piece of red cloth appeared, like someone's sleeve. It instantly wrapped around Leng Yi's neck!
"Leng Yi!" Feixue, Chi Yan, Murong Yue, and Murong Yu exclaimed at the same time.
"Hmph! Look at how I can burn this red cloth to ashes!" Leng Yi said as his whole body burned with flames. However, no matter how the flames burned, the red cloth remained safe and sound.
"It turns out that he is just a little thief from the Kunlun Sect, but he is quite courageous, and he looks... quite handsome." After the demon queen finished speaking, she wiped the red cloth on Leng Yi's face twice.
"This monster is really disgusting." Feixue said in disgust, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Demon Queen did not intend to kill Leng Yi immediately.
"We have to think of a foolproof strategy. It seems that even though the Demon Queen is very powerful, she can only stretch her sleeves out of the door, but she herself cannot come out." Murong Yue said.
"But even if it's just her sleeves, it's still very difficult. Even Leng Yi's flames can't burn them out, so what should we do?" Chi Yan said anxiously.
"And we only have one chance. If we fail, she will definitely kill Leng Yi!" Feixue said.
"If you want to rescue Leng Yi, you must cut off the red sleeve. But look at the sleeve. It seems invulnerable..." Murong Yue said doubtfully.
"There is a demonic energy wrapped around the sleeves, although it is not strong. With our cultivation, it is still difficult to cut off. For the current plan, only by gathering the strength of the four of us can we possibly restrain the demonic aura, and Leng Yi was
Take the opportunity to burn off your sleeves. Success or failure only occurs in an instant. If you fail, Leng Yi will definitely die." Murong Yu said.
Here Feixue and others are racking their brains to find a way to rescue Leng Yi, but on the other side...
"I must delay as much time as possible so that Feixue and the others can figure out a way to save me." Leng Yi thought to himself and then asked: "Some things have happened on Kunlun Fairy Mountain in recent days. Several disciples have fallen into
Evil, and behind this, there is a person controlling all of this, do you know who he is?"
"Oh? Falling into evil ways?" The Demon Queen thought thoughtfully and then continued: "Even if you fall into evil ways, so what? You cultivators like to distinguish between good and evil. It's really boring. Boy, let me ask you,
What is good? What is evil?”
"Removing harm for the people is righteousness, and destroying the people is evil." Leng Yi replied.
"Hmph! This is for you people, but what about the demon? If the demon doesn't do anything bad, is she evil?" asked the Demon Queen.
"Of course not!" Leng Yi replied firmly.
"Oh? Why did you answer so readily?" the Demon Queen continued to ask.
"I once had a very good friend named Xu Xiaoyue. She was a monster, but she was very kind and helped me pass the trial in Kunlun Wonderland. But she was killed by these people who fell into evil ways!" Leng Yi said
By the end, the anger in his eyes seemed to be burning.
"You...actually made friends with a demon?" the demon queen asked in disbelief.
"Yes, humans and demons can be friends. Is there anything wrong with that?" Leng Yi asked.
"That's right! Boy, you are very special. If I don't kill you today, you can leave. Also, I would like to warn your friends that if they want to make any moves, it is best not to be noticed by them, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
After finishing speaking, the red sleeve wrapped around Leng Yi's neck flew back to the forbidden door.
"This Demon Queen is too powerful?" Feixue murmured in shock, but now she finally let go of her worries.
"Wait, you haven't answered my question yet, do you know who is behind the scenes?" Leng Yi shouted at the forbidden door.
"The demon is not evil, so why are you imprisoned here? The evil in your human hearts is far greater than that of the demon. Boy, if you have time to ask me here, you might as well ask those old antiques what they did eighteen years ago.
What a good thing!" The Demon Queen's voice drifted further and further away.
What does this all mean?
"Eighteen years ago...could it be something that the leader and the others were hiding?" Leng Yi asked after returning.
"Well, it's possible. Things are getting more and more complicated now. I can hardly tell who is right and who is wrong," Feixue said.
"It seems that the man behind the scenes coming to seek revenge may have something to do with what happened eighteen years ago, but what does all this have to do with this forbidden door?" Murong Yue said.
"Hey, don't think about this, okay? My mind is about to explode thinking about it, so it's better to go back to bed quickly." Chi Yan said.
"Chi Yan is right. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We'd better leave quickly. We have to go to the Nangong Tomb early tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, Feixue let out a big yawn.
So, the five people returned to the disciple's bedroom along the original route.
Leng Yi was lying on the bed still thinking about the last words the Demon Queen said. What did they mean? What is righteousness? What is evil?
Is it true that no matter how glamorous the surface is, there are some ulterior secrets hidden behind it?
The next morning, at the top of Kunlun, under dawn, the clouds and mist were cleared by dawn.
The breeze is blowing. The ambition is high.
In order not to alarm others, the headmaster and the six elders did not come to see him off. At this moment, there were only five of them, Leng Yi, in the square in front of Wuji Pavilion.
"It's really deserted. Last time at least there was a master to see me off. This time, there's not even a single person there." Chi Yan said disappointedly.
"Forget it, Chi Yan. Murong Yu and we are not in the same team. If the other disciples see it, it will be hard to explain. Don't forget, this is a secret mission." Murong Yue said.
"If the leader comes forward, it will definitely cause an uproar, and then we will be really in danger." Murong Yu said.
"Isn't this a good thing? The so-called heroes are usually unknown at the beginning, and they don't get flowers and applause until the end." Leng Yi said.
Chi Yan smiled and said, "Leng Yi, your metaphor is really interesting."
After saying that, the five people took their swords and flew straight to the village outside Luoyang City. According to the leader, this village is haunted at night. In addition, it has turned into a powerful ghost in recent days, and many villagers have been killed.
Leng Yi and others landed at the entrance of the village. Looking up, they could see two large characters carved above the door: **.
"**?" Feixue was frightened by this creepy name and gasped. Why did the local villagers choose such a name?
"Hey, it's just a name. No need to make a fuss. Let's go in quickly." Leng Yi said.
The ** is very big, but there are not many people living there. Looking around, you can see bustling houses on both sides. Leng Yi and others passed by and saw that the villagers were looking at them with strange eyes.
, some were still whispering about something on the sidelines.
"The villagers here are so strange. They all look pale and listless." Feixue whispered.
"It's haunted at night, and it's a very serious ghost. I'm afraid no one can sleep well," Chi Yan said.
"If that's the case, why haven't they moved away yet?" Leng Yi asked doubtfully.
"You can't just settle down in any place. Some of them have lived here for decades. The water, land, customs, these are the taste of hometown. Although it is not as prosperous as a big city, it is exceptionally peaceful." Murong Yue said.
"The village chief's house is just ahead, but I'm afraid there won't be room for so many of us in the house. I'm going to meet the village chief, and if I have anything to do, we'll talk outside the house." Murong Yu said and entered the village chief's house.
Every household in ** is basically the same. They are all made of mud and stone tiles without any chapters. Although the village chief's house is the largest home in **, it is pitifully small. There are only two disciple bedrooms in Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
It's so big, it's a miracle that it can accommodate a whole family.
After a while, I saw a gray-haired old man walking out of the village chief's house. He was leaning on a cane, skinny and haggard.
"I never thought that a small village like ours could be favored by immortals. But life and death have long been decided by God, so you should come back." After the village chief finished speaking, he returned to the house.
"Wait, we are..." Leng Yi was about to persuade the village chief, but was interrupted by Murong Yu: "Village Chief, let's leave first." After speaking, Murong Yu winked at Leng Yi,
The group of people exited again.
As soon as they arrived outside the village, Leng Yi couldn't help but ask: "Murong Yu, what on earth is going on?" They came to help the villagers eradicate evil spirits, but they were turned away.
"I've just exhausted all my words in the house, and it's useless to say more. It seems that someone got there first," Murong Yu said.
"Succeeded first? Murong Yu, you mean, who has deceived the villagers and regarded us as evil people?" Murong Yue said in shock.
"That's right. Most of the villagers are honest and kind-hearted. With a little inducement, they will be convinced that it is true." Murong Yu said.
"At this point, it is impossible to find out anything more from the villagers. Moreover, so far, our actions are under the control of the enemy. What should we do next?" Feixue asked.
"Then there's no need to ask! Since the government can't accommodate us, of course we have to go directly to the Nangong Tombs!" Leng Yi said.
"Even if we want to go to Nangong Tomb, it's not now." Murong Yue said.
"Why?" Leng Yi asked confused.
"First of all, no one knows how big the Nangong Tomb is, and how long it will take us to eradicate all the evil spirits after entering is also unknown. Therefore, we must prepare water and dry food. Furthermore, every night,
There are evil spirits haunting the country, and tonight is no exception. If we go to the tomb, who will protect the villagers? So we have to wait until the evil ghosts wandering around the country are eliminated tonight before going to the Nangong Tomb." Murong
Yue said.
"Hehe, let's go to Luoyang City first and prepare some water and dry food." Chi Yan suggested with a smile.
"Chi Yan, I'm afraid you are a drunkard and don't care about drinking?" Feixue saw Chi Yan smiling so wickedly, so she must be hiding some bad ideas.
"Hehe. It's so Feixue. It's rare to come down the mountain. I heard that Luoyang City is very prosperous. It would be a pity not to take a look." Chi Yan looked at Feixue longingly and said.
"I don't think it's just as simple as just taking a look?" Feixue said with a bad smile.
"Okay. Don't let me tell you everything!" Chi Yan said coquettishly.
"Of course you have to go, but when you get to Luoyang City, you are not allowed to run around!" Murong Yue said.
"Yes! I obey! My little Yueyue is the best..." Chi Yan said softly. This really made Leng Yi and Murong Yu's skin crawl.
After saying this, the five men flew to Luoyang City with their swords.
I saw the streets lined with shops on both sides, and the dawn light shone lightly on the red bricks, green tiles and the colorful pavilions and eaves. It added a bit of poetry to the prosperous Luoyang city in front of me. As I walked, I walked in front of me.
Behind them are faces that may be old, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated. Cars and horses are passing by, and people are flowing in. Not far away, the penetrating shouts of vendors can be faintly heard, and occasionally there is a horse neighing.
Long cry.
Watch people coming and going, and the traffic is endless. The bustling hustle and bustle of Luoyang City brings with it the fragrance of the poet's writing and the laughter of the drinkers.
Walking a little further, I suddenly saw a stage where people were singing, dancing, and singing softly.
The colorful sleeves held the jade bell diligently, but at that time, I was drunk and beautiful.
Dance low to the moon in the heart of the willow tower, sing to the wind under the peach blossom fan.
After we parted ways, I recalled seeing each other again, and shared my dreams with you several times. I have only a handful of silver and red photos left tonight, as if I was afraid that we would meet again in a dream.
The prosperous capital city seems like heaven and earth; the isolated village outside the city is like hell on earth.
"Luoyang City is really beautiful. It is indeed the city I have longed for." Chi Yan sighed.
"It would be great if everyone could be like the people in this city." Feixue said with emotion.
"I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. No matter how rich and noble I am, I am not as happy as others living in seclusion in the mountains and forests and being a couple of gods and immortals." Murong Yue said.
"Hey, look, there is an inn ahead. Let's go get something to eat. I'm almost starving!" Chi Yan said, pointing to the "Yangchun Inn" not far ahead.
"Yeah." Feixue responded, and then the group entered the "Yangchun Inn".
As soon as the food was served, Leng Yi wolfed it down, causing Feixue to snicker at the side.
However, the conversation of the people at the nearby table immediately attracted Leng Yi and others. They saw that both people at the table were wearing gray and white Taoist robes. At first glance, they looked like people cultivating immortals.
"I just heard someone in the market talking about the haunting of the nearby Nangong Tomb. Why don't we go check it out later?" one of them said.
"Hey, junior brother, there is no need to be fussy. The master ordered us to go down the mountain this time because he has important matters to attend to. We must not delay for this or other matters, otherwise none of us will be able to bear the responsibility if the master blames us." Another said.
"But I heard that the ghosts are evil spirits, and many people have died tragically. As disciples of cultivating immortals, it is not good to turn a blind eye," the junior brother continued.
"Junior brother! Don't get involved in all this! In short, Master can arrange it freely." The senior brother said angrily.
"Two brothers, this is Murong Yu, a disciple of the Kunlun Sect. Since you two are disciples of cultivating immortals, why don't you take it as your duty to eliminate demons and punish evil, but just ignore it?" Murong Yu stood up and asked. (To be continued...
