The four of them managed to get out of the mountain of bat corpses, but they were all in an extremely miserable state. Not only were their bodies covered in dirty, dark blood, but the smell was also extremely foul.
The four of them are members of the Qingyun sect and have always been clean. Especially Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak, who is even more clean by nature. The situation at this moment is really more uncomfortable than cutting her three times.
The four of them walked hurriedly towards the distance. At this moment, they just wanted to get as far away from the disgusting pile of bat corpses as possible. They walked all the way in one breath and came to a relatively flat rock. The four of them patted their clothes.
After cleaning for a long time, I only found some debris, but the traces of bat blood and the foul smell lingered no matter what.
Zhang Xiaofan and the other three men were doing better, but Lu Xueqi's usually cold face was as frosty as snow at this moment. She wiped her clothes hard and rubbed them vigorously, seemingly to prevent these disgusting things from getting out of her body.
Go and never give up.
It's just that the blood stains seemed to be particularly sticky. Soon, Qi Hao, Zeng and Zhang Xiaofan all gave up their efforts. Only Lu Xueqi still refused to give up with a white face. The three men looked at each other, even the most experienced Qi Hao now looked a little embarrassed.
, I don’t know what to say.
Just when the four of them were silent and only Lu Xueqi frowned and rubbed her clothes, a few roars suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw four rays of light flashing in the sky, two yellow, one white and one green. After a moment, this
Four rays of light fell in front of them, and after a flash, four figures appeared.
The two people on the left are actually two monks. The one behind him is tall, with thick eyebrows and huge eyes, and a sinister face. He is calm and powerful. If he were not wearing cassocks, he would probably be thought of as a robber who blocked the road. But.
Another monk stood in front of him, but he was a young monk who was a head shorter than him. He was completely different from him, with fair skin, bright eyes, and a moon-white cassock. He looked a little thin, but he was not.
A heart of contempt.
The two people on the right are two young men, a man and a woman. The man is handsome and the woman is delicate. Standing together, they are a perfect match, just like the golden boy and girl in front of the Goddess.
The four people looked at the four people from the Qingyun Sect and frowned when they saw the blood on their bodies. The young and fair monk first shouted the Buddha's name and said: "Amituo Buddha, are the four donors under the Qingyun Sect?"
The four people in Qingyun looked at each other, Qi Hao stepped out of the crowd, returned the salute, and said: "Exactly, Qi Hao, may I ask you..."
The young monk smiled slightly and said: "The young monk is the Dharma Minister of Tianyin Temple, and this is the junior disciple Fashan. The two next to him are Li Xun and Yan Hong, the outstanding disciples of Fenxiang Valley."
The tall Fashan returned the greeting in a low voice, but Li Xun and Yan Hong from Fenxiang Valley both looked arrogant and nodded slightly, even if they had seen the greeting.
Qi Hao frowned and immediately ignored the two people in Fenxiang Valley and said to Faxiang: "Ah, I have admired the name of Senior Brother Faxiang of Tianyin Temple for a long time. He has been hailed as a rare talent for thousands of years by the righteous cultivators. I saw him today and he is indeed extraordinary!"
The Faxiang smiled slightly and said: "Senior Brother Qi is really wrong. I am a young monk with slow qualifications, but my mentor Puhong never gave up. He taught me the true Dharma in order to do some good deeds for the people of the world, but I dare not compare with other senior brothers from Qingyun Sect."
Qi Hao laughed loudly, waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "Senior Brother Faxiang is too humble. Come, let me introduce some of my junior brothers and sisters to you." After saying that, he introduced Zhang Xiaofan and three others to them. Zhang Xiaofan followed them to greet them, but he didn't know
Why, he felt that when Qi Hao introduced him, the Dharma Minister's eyes seemed to light up and he looked at him one more time.
At this time, Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley, who had been left aside since the beginning of the conversation, had a bad expression on his face. After Qi Hao finished his introduction, he suddenly spoke coldly: "Brother Qi, your Qingyun Sect has always regarded itself as the leader of the righteous way, and the true Taoist method is unique.
How come in the world, when we meet today, everyone is so embarrassed?"
The faces of the four people in the Qingyun Sect all changed. Zhang Xiaofan was even more disgusted when he looked at him with his eyes above his head. When he glanced around, he saw that Lu Xueqi had stopped wiping her clothes at some point, with a frosty look on her face.
, looked at the two people in Fenxiang Valley coldly, but more often they looked at each other with the beautiful woman named Yan Hong.
After all, Qi Hao was experienced in the world. Although he was a little angry, he quickly recovered. He smiled and said: "To be honest, I came here with three of my colleagues last night. They wanted to search for the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave, but unexpectedly we failed.
Encountered countless bats..."
When the four Faxiangs heard this, their expressions changed. The tall and tall Fashan opened his eyes wide and said in a rough voice: "Well, those are the countless beasts in the Wanbat Ancient Cave. They are ferocious and savage."
Cruel and very difficult to deal with."
Qi Hao was so smart. As soon as he heard this, he knew that the four people in front of him had probably come a few days earlier and had met these troublesome guys. His mind turned quickly, but he suddenly heard a long laugh behind him and walked up.
He came forward, smiled at Fashan and said, "Brother Fashan, so you have also encountered these vampire bats?"
Fashan nodded, seemingly straight-tempered, and said, "Yes, there were too many bats, so we had to retreat."
Zeng said "Ah", sighed, and said: "To tell you the truth, we also encountered those bats last night. We wanted to kill them for the people, but unexpectedly we killed them from morning till night. No matter how hard we tried, we still kept killing them.
In the end, I can only drive these vicious creatures back to the cave, but they are also covered in filth. Alas, I am ashamed, I am ashamed!"
He turned back to look at Qi Hao. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison: "Ashamed! Ashamed!"
Everyone's expressions changed. The difference was that Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley snorted with disdain on his face. The beautiful woman Yan Hong seemed a little shy, but there was also a clear look of disbelief on her face, and Tianyin
The monk in the temple smiled and said nothing, but Fashan had admiration on his face. Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and glanced at the two people who were smiling brightly.
After a while, the Dharma Prime Minister smiled and said: "This time about the Kongsang Mountain incident, the elders of our three sects originally wanted our younger generation to receive some experience. Now that we are all here, the senior brothers from the Qingyun Sect have come from afar to work hard, so why don't we take a day off first?
, how about we go into the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave to investigate tomorrow morning?"
At this time, Li Xun, who was standing next to him, snorted coldly and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang is right, otherwise someone would have to make some excuses after we go in."
Except for Zhang Xiaofan, Qi Hao, who came from the famous Qingyun family, Zeng and Lu Xueqi were not favored by their teachers in their own lineage, and neither of them had some arrogance in their bones. At that moment, Qi Hao snorted coldly and said: "Senior Brother Li Xun is right.
Otherwise, with my tired body now, I will be unable to save you when the time comes!"
Li Xun obviously didn't expect that all the people under Qingyun's sect would be so arrogant. He was born in Fenxiang Valley and had been valued by his teachers since he was a child. Among his peers, except for a few people, all of them were far better than others in practicing Taoism.
As a fellow disciple, he has developed a arrogant and arrogant personality. How can he bear this anger? His face suddenly changed, and he stared at Qi Hao and said: "So, Senior Brother Qi's practice is far better than mine. I would like to ask for advice."
Fan."
It was about the face of the teacher. Qi Hao straightened his body and was about to walk out. Suddenly he saw Lu Xueqi suddenly walking out from behind. He stood in the middle of the field and said coldly: "Senior Brother Qi, don't bother me. Let me give you some advice."
Just the magic of Fenxiang Valley."
Li Xun was stunned for a moment, and saw that although Lu Xueqi was covered in blood, the skin on her jade face was reflected as white as snow. Although her expression was cold, her awe-inspiring expression had the elegance of looking down on all living beings. He had never
Having seen such stunning beauty, I was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, the Master of Tianyin Temple came out and said with a smile: "Brothers, we came here to check out the remaining members of the Demon Sect. I must have taught you before leaving. If they know about us,
If you act on your impulse here, I'm afraid you'll be punished if you go back. Besides, it's just a trivial matter, so how about we all give in?"
Li Xun came back to his senses, snorted, and looked up at the sky. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was quite obvious. At this moment, Qi Hao thought of Master Daoxuan's instructions before leaving, and he felt a little regretful, so he took advantage of the opportunity.
After stepping down from the stage, he called from behind: "Junior Sister Lu, what Senior Brother Faxiang said makes sense, we should consider peace as the most important thing."
Lu Xueqi looked at everyone, snorted, and walked back. She saw Zhang Xiaofan looking at her, glanced at Zhang Xiaofan's face, and then walked aside alone.
Zhang Xiaofan felt a sudden chill in his heart when she glanced at him, and an indescribable feeling came over him.
I heard the Dharma Minister say again: "In that case, let's go down the mountain first, and then go up the mountain to investigate again tomorrow morning."
At this time, everyone had no objections, so the Dharma Minister led the way, and everyone followed him with his sword, and came to a small hill thirty miles away from Kongsang Mountain. There was actually a clear spring here, which was what everyone in Qingyun Sect was looking for.
Necessary. Now everyone freshened up by the water, found a quiet place to change clothes, and then walked out to meet the Dharma Minister and others.
Lu Xueqi was a daughter, so it was inconvenient, and the place to change clothes was the farthest away, so she was the last one to come out. When everyone looked at her, they saw that she was radiant after washing up, which actually added a bit more to her original beauty.
She was so charming that her eyes immediately lit up. Needless to say, the eyes of Zeng, Li Xun and others were shining. Even Fenxianggu Yanhong, who had been silent all this time, also looked at her a few more times.
The eight most "outstanding" disciples of the three sects of the current righteous path sat around and talked about it. Zhang Xiaofan only learned from Fa Xiang and others that the bats in Kongsang Mountain's "Ancient Ten Thousand Bats Cave" were raised by the demon sect back then.
Alien species, ferocious and cruel, good at sucking blood. They were originally accomplices of the Demon Cult. After the Demon Cult's stronghold was destroyed here eight hundred years ago, a few bats still survived. As time went by, they actually multiplied and flourished. With today's huge scale, every raid was carried out.
Eat, and make this area within a radius of 500 miles completely deserted.
However, these bats seem to be afraid of the sun, so they are only active at night and inhabit the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave during the day. Everyone from Qingyun Sect happened to meet them last night. If they went up the mountain during the day, they would be fine.
Hearing this, Zeng frowned and asked the Faxiang: "Brother Faxiang, since those beasts are in the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave, how can we go in and investigate?"
The Dharma Minister hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the monk's observations these days, these beasts only hang upside down on the ceiling of the ancient cave during the day and do not move. It is not certain that we can go in."
Zeng was speechless, but Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but said: "That means you are not sure, Brother Faxiang. Maybe those guys will pounce on us after seeing us entering the cave. What should we do?"
The Dharma Prime Minister looked at him, and there seemed to be a faint light flickering in his eyes, but his expression remained gentle, and he said: "That's exactly it. In fact, the young monk is not 100% sure, but the master always has to do what he is ordered to do, so why don't you give it a try?
The last time we tried it, the worst we could do was quit. Today, Junior Brother Fashan, myself, and the two donors from Fenxiang Valley wanted to go in and have a look, but we didn’t expect to meet you all. It’s okay, there are so many people so we can take care of you!”
"Humph", but Li Xun snorted coldly on the side. The four people from Qingyun Sect looked at him at the same time, but Li Xun was not afraid at all. Only when he saw Lu Xueqi's eyes looking over, his expression became somewhat...
Variety.
Qi Hao ignored him, turned to Fa Xiang and said: "There is one more thing, please ask Senior Brother Fa Xiang."
Fa Xiang said: "Senior Brother Qi, please tell me."
Qi Hao said: "Three months ago, my Qingyun Sect's eldest disciple, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, came here first. I wonder if you all know where he is now?"
Dharma Prime Minister shook his head and said: "We came here with the two of you from Fenxiang Valley, but we have never seen Senior Brother Xiao."
Qi Hao frowned and remained silent.
※※※
The next day, when the sun was rising, Zhang Xiaofan and the other eight people came to Kongsang Mountain. They saw that the mountain was deserted and the ground was full of sand and rocks. On such a huge mountain, even the ordinary birdsong could not be heard. They expected that they had done what they had done earlier.
The snacks of the fierce bats have long since moved out of this mountain peak.
Fa Xiang and others had arrived several days earlier and had already found the location of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave. Now everyone followed, cautiously, and finally arrived at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave.
This is a huge mid-mountain cave. It is located in the shadow of the mountain and slopes downward slightly. There is only a little light at the entrance of the cave, and it is pitch black inside. Standing five or six feet away from the entrance of the cave, everyone
But they all felt the dark wind blowing out of the cave, blowing over their faces, and the coldness penetrated into their bones. At the same time, there was a faint rustling sound, like a whisper, like a ghost crying, which made people feel numb.
Qi Hao took another look at the cave, turned around and forced a smile, saying: "In that case, let's go in."
Everyone was silent, and the Dharma Prime Minister nodded and said: "Exactly, but the dangers in this cave are unpredictable. You'd better prepare your immortal weapons, just in case."
It was a matter of life and death, and everyone did not dare to neglect it. They all took the magic weapon in their hands. When Li Xun, Yan Hong and the two monks from Tianyin Temple saw Zhang Xiaofan take out a black fire stick, they were all stunned.
Dumbfounded, with a stunned look on his face. Zhang Xiaofan's face turned red and he felt quite embarrassed. Fortunately, at this moment, Lu Xueqi, under the blue light of her Tianya, said coldly: "Let's go." With that, she was the first to walk towards the dark cave.
Go, everyone hurriedly followed, and then the siege was solved.
Just as they were about to enter the cave entrance and the cold wind was getting colder and colder, the Dharma Master seemed to be approaching Zhang Xiaofan intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Xiaofan felt it and smiled at him. The Dharma Appearance returned the smile and whispered at the same time: "Junior Brother Zhang,
The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but you can follow me."
Zhang Xiaofan was startled, but saw that Dharma had already walked into the darkness. He didn't have time to think about it for a moment. He saw everyone entering the cave and hurriedly followed him in.
As soon as he stepped into the cave, Zhang Xiaofan felt his feet go soft and his whole body sank down. He was shocked, but luckily he only sank to his ankles and stopped. At this time, everyone was in darkness.
However, their magic weapons and immortal weapons were sacrificed, emitting rays of light. Zhang Xiaofan looked at his feet, and his face immediately turned bitter. It turned out that what he was stepping on was extremely thick bat guano. Not to mention the stench, his feet were still stuck in it.
, the feeling is as uncomfortable as it is. He raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw that most of the others had the same expression, especially the two women, Lu Xueqi and Yanhong from Fenxiang Valley, who frowned and looked pale.
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and reluctantly calmed down. After everyone became familiar with the environment, they walked inside again. At this time, the rustling sound like the whisper of a demon also became louder at the same time, as if it was far away, but also seemed to be there.
Around you, around you, everywhere.
After walking another three or four feet like this, Qi Hao, who was at the front, suddenly whispered: "Slow down!"
Everyone immediately stopped and saw Qi Hao's ice fairy sword rising slowly, and the light gradually brightened, illuminating the cave in front for a long time. Everyone immediately held their breath.
This is a huge cave. The top of the cave is very high above the ground. Under the white light of the Ice Fairy Sword, everyone is shocked to see countless black bats hanging upside down at the top of the cave. It is almost impossible to see the rocks of the cave. And that
The "rustling" sound is caused by the friction of these animals.
In the darkness, the bats illuminated by the white light seemed to feel uneasy. They started to move one by one, but they did not fly. Instead, they used their claws to climb on the rocks and move towards the darkness. Some simply caught them on the same species.
.Those fangs and mouths that become more terrifying in the darkness are frightening.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe. After a moment's pause, everyone realized that although the light here was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, these bats seemed to be motionless and would not attack. After discovering this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
He whispered: "Fortunately, the young monk's judgment is correct. Everyone, let's move on."
Everyone turned their heads and walked towards the deeper darkness of this terrifying ancient cave. As the people walked, the bat guano under their feet became thicker and thicker, and under the white light of the Ice Fairy Sword, the top of the cave was
There seemed to be an endless supply of bats, more and more, with sharp fangs, murmuring sounds, and howling around them. If the eight of them hadn't possessed righteous magic and were determined, ordinary people would have gone crazy.
.
I don’t know how long they walked like this. Zhang Xiaofan was walking in the middle of the team, but Dharma Prime Minister was always walking in front of him. Seeing that the moon-white monk’s robe of the young monk in front of him was stained with some dirt, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered
Universal wisdom.
Does the person deep in the memory come from the same place as the monk in front of me?
Ahead, Qi Hao suddenly heard a slight cry: "Ah!"
Before Zhang Xiaofan could recover, he felt something strange under his feet, as if he had stepped on hard ground.
