After setting foot on that mountain peak, a strong smell has always been floating in the air, a bit choking, with the smell of sulfur. Gui Li and Jin Ping'er are both people with profound spiritual practice, so they can tolerate this kind of smell.
, but as they gradually went deeper into the mountain peak, the increasingly strong wind gradually made them frown.
It was a bone-chilling wind. I don’t know why, when it blew over my face, although the wind was not very strong, it was so miserable that it really chilled people from the bottom of my heart. In addition, I didn’t know where to look from the depths of the mountain in front of me.
The faint shrieking sounds came one after another, rising and falling, like the cries of apes at night, and the laughter of ferocious ghosts, which sounded horrifying to the ears.
Monkey Xiao Hui lay on Ghost Li's shoulder, finished eating the last wild fruit, threw the core away, opened its three eyes, and looked around, as if it was not affected by these visions at all.
Jin Ping'er frowned more and more, and suddenly said: "There seems to be something wrong."
Gui Li was startled, stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
Jin Ping'er hesitated for a moment and said: "The last time I followed here, there were no cries of ghosts, howls of wolves and gusts of wind all over the mountains and plains. It was only when I arrived at the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave that there seemed to be some. How come after some time,
Is this place like a ghost prison?"
Gui Li looked into the distance and said calmly: "Maybe this is the lair of the beast monster, and it is too violent, as it should be. He had just come back to life when you came over that day, and of course it is not as bad as it has been in recent days."
Jin Ping'er thought about it and could only explain it this way. That day at the top of Qingyun Mountain, the Beast God had a bloody battle with the Zhuxian Sword Array, and was severely damaged by the Zhuxian Ancient Sword. Everyone could see how powerful that sword was.
Big. But even under the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the Beast God can still escape and run away. His practice is enough to shock the world.
Jin Ping'er's eyes flashed, and she suddenly said: "You think, if we find the Beast God in the Demon-Suppressing Ancient Cave, even though he is injured, can the two of us really deal with him?"
Gui Li shook his head and said, "How do I know?"
Jin Ping'er looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Looking at you, I'm afraid you're not very sure! In that case, what are you still doing here with me?"
She looked at Gui Li and said with a faint smile: "Don't forget, there is Baguio in Huqi Mountain waiting for you to save her! If you die here, wouldn't you be very sorry for her?
"
Gui Li snorted, walked forward, and said: "Her father asked me to do this. I owe Baguio too much, so I always have to do something. But you," he smiled coldly,
Said: "If by chance you die here, you will probably die in peace, right?"
Jin Ping'er smiled coquettishly, and smiled at his back: "Oh! You are such a cool person. As long as we die together, not only in this beast's lair, but also in the pig pen and cattle pen, that's fine too.
."
Gui Li sneered in front, obviously not believing Jin Ping'er's words at all, let alone showing the slightest emotion, and just walked straight away. But the monkey on his shoulder turned around and faced Jin Ping'er,
He actually broke into a rare smile and seemed to be in a good mood.
Different from the several women Gui Li had dated before, Xiao Hui was not as affectionate with Jin Ping'er as he was with Xiao Bai and Xiao Huan that day. This was the first time in several days that he had smiled so happily.
Jin Ping'er was a little surprised, but it wasn't a bad thing at all. She was a little happy. She was smiling and was about to step forward to tease the monkey. Unexpectedly, the monkey smiled for a moment with its mouth open. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spit out something black.
Huhu things came out at extremely fast speeds and flew straight towards where Jin Ping'er was standing.
Jin Ping'er was startled, but she was not an ordinary person after all, so she didn't panic. She swung her feet slightly and used force, and stepped aside forcibly to let the weird thing pass.
There was a low pop sound, and the thing fell to the ground. It didn't bounce up, but crashed directly into the ground. Jin Ping'er looked back and saw that it was a wild fruit core. I don't know when Xiao Hui had something in his mouth.
The remaining one, tut-tutting, tasted the taste, but now he used it to tease her.
Jin Ping'er was teased by a monkey. She felt slightly angry and her pretty face turned pale. She looked around and saw that the gray-haired monkey had turned around and sat on Gui Li's shoulder, facing Jin Ping'er.
, crossed his hands on his chest, swung his feet back and forth, looked at the sky with three eyes, his face was full of arrogance, and he had the legendary gangster spirit, even his long tail was dangling behind him.
Go and act like I'm just bullying you, I'm a gangster and who am I to be afraid of?
It was okay for Jin Ping'er not to look at it, but when he saw it, he became very angry. He took a few steps to catch up with Gui Li and said angrily: "Why are you such an uncultured monkey? You just spit out fruit cores at people, do you know?"
"
Gui Li slowly turned his head and looked at Jin Ping'er with a strange look on his face. He said after a while: "Are you scolding it?" He pointed at Xiao Hui.
Jin Ping'er nodded.
Xiao Hui immediately became angry and jumped up from Gui Li's shoulder. He screamed and screamed. His eyes were wide open. His hands were clenched into fists and he kept gesticulating. It looked like he was burning with anger and wanted to fight Jin Ping'er who complained.
A very impressive scene.
Jin Ping'er didn't expect that this gray-haired monkey could actually understand human nature to such an extent. He was startled for a moment, took a step back, then ignored it and said loudly to the ghost: "I was scolding it, but this beast is also
It’s really disgusting. If you raise it, you must teach it well..."
"You!" Suddenly, Gui Li spoke loudly and shouted at Xiao Hui, while also interrupting Jin Ping'er's words.
Xiao Hui was startled and paused. Jin Ping'er was also startled and looked at Gui Li.
I saw Gui Li frowning, with a serious look on his face, and shouted to Xiao Hui: "I told you a long time ago that you need to study more and know the books to be reasonable, but you just didn't listen. The book "Gods and Demons" I taught you last time
"Zhiyi", why don't you learn it? Come back and copy 300 chapters of it for me and come see me again!"
Xiao Hui's three eyes widened and he blinked. He touched his head with his hand, scratched it again, and touched it again. He was obviously in a daze.
But Jin Ping'er wasn't much better on the other side. After being surprised, he couldn't help but sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if this monkey is knowledgeable about human nature, I have never heard of him being able to read and write!"
Gui Li turned his head and glanced at her, said "Oh", and seemed to have woken up. He said calmly: "In this case, even if you say so, it's not my fault that this monkey is uneducated. All things are born, but monkeys
If you can’t study, what can you do, what can you do?”
He looked at Jin Ping'er, sighed without sincerity, and without saying anything, turned back and walked forward.
Jin Ping'er was so angry that her face turned pale.
The monkey in front, Xiao Hui, fell from Gui Li's shoulder with a plop and fell to the ground. However, it did not appear to be in any pain. Instead, it screamed loudly, danced, laughed wildly, sometimes held its belly, sometimes beat the ground, and even had its limbs in the air.
The tail is waving, and the smile is as wild as you want.
The more Jin Ping'er looked at it, the angrier he became, and when he was about to explode, Xiao Hui suddenly jumped up, screamed "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi" at Jin Ping'er, made a big face, then got down on all fours, and swished back.
He jumped onto Gui Li's shoulder a few times, and then he lay down again, where he looked back at Jin Ping'er triumphantly, with another grimace.
Jin Ping'er became more and more angry, and even her body seemed to be trembling. After biting her teeth, she raised her hand to swing forward. Under the warm sunshine, a lavender light glowed on the edge of her palm, which was extremely strange.
.
But when the palm was raised halfway, it stopped in mid-air. Under the figure of the man in front of him, a faint cyan light seemed to emit from his hand.
Jin Ping'er's pupils contracted.
After a while, she suddenly paused, then put down her hands, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. After her chest rose and fell a few times, her face returned to its usual look. And the green glow on Gui Li's hand in front of her also slowly disappeared. As for
His figure has also slowly walked away amidst the harsh and weird laughter of the gray-haired three-eyed monkey.
Jin Ping'er calmed down, she was still a little angry in her heart, but at the same time, for some reason, her face was a little warm. She has always confounded all living beings and played with people's hearts. How did she know that today she was betrayed by a monkey?
Such a joke...
She snorted, put these things aside, and was about to move forward. Suddenly she frowned, as if she remembered something again, turned around and walked back slowly. Not long after, she had reached the place where Xiao Hui had just provoked him to vomit.
Where the core fell to the ground.
The core is an ordinary wild fruit core in the mountains here. There is nothing strange about it. However, the core at this time has actually sunk into the ground, leaving only a bit of the hard shell exposed. And this black and strange
On the mountain peak, unlike other parts of Shiwanda Mountain, there is soft soil and hard rocks everywhere.
Xiao Hui's spitting force actually drove the core into the hard stone.
Jin Ping'er frowned slowly, stood up slowly, and looked in the direction where Gui Li's figure disappeared. The dark wind blowing from that direction seemed to still contain the harsh and strange laughter of the monkey Xiao Hui.
In a low voice, as if she was whispering to herself: "How come even this monkey has such a level of practice and can advance so quickly? Who is this person..."
The vast black forest has welcomed a new visitor. But this time, the number of guests is much larger than before. A team of more than ten people walked through the jungle, standing among the giant trees with lush foliage.
Walking through thorns and vines.
However, this section of the journey went surprisingly smoothly, except for the unexpected attack by wild beasts.
The people walking at the front of the team were all unusual people. Lu Xueqi frowned slightly and said nothing, but Zeng Shushu couldn't help but said to Li Xun: "Senior Brother Li, there seems to be something wrong here!"
Li Xun stopped, glanced around, then looked at Zeng Shushu, pondered for a moment, then turned around and said loudly to the disciples in Fenxiang Valley: "Everyone, take a rest here for a while, and we will continue on our way later."
Everyone agreed enthusiastically, obviously walking such a long distance was not an easy task for anyone.
After settling the others, Li Xun and Zeng Shushu walked to a place slightly ahead and approached Lu Xueqi at the same time. Lu Xueqi frowned but took a step back.
Li Xun's face darkened. Zeng Shushu was so smart that he immediately interrupted and said, "Senior Brother Li, have you noticed it too?"
Li Xun nodded, and his eyes fell to the feet where the three of them were standing. Among the dense thorn bushes, although it was blurry, there were faint marks of someone stepping on them after the thorns were broken.
"Someone walked through this forest before us, and it must not have been a long time ago." He said with certainty, and at the same time, there was a hint of worry on his face.
Zeng Shushu pondered: "Could he be your fellow disciple, Senior Brother Li..."
Li Xun shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Our team is the only one in Fenxiang Valley who has gone deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Most of the young elites in the valley are here, and no one else will come in."
Zeng Shushu frowned and said: "That's strange. According to what Master Yun Gu said that day, this news should not have been leaked! Could it be that other sects also knew the news and entered the Shiwan Mountain?"
Li Xun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't think so. First of all, this matter is indeed kept secret. Only our two factions know about it." He coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said: "The beast god is
He is the chief culprit of the catastrophe. If others add insult to injury and take advantage, the bloody battle between our two factions at the top of Qingyun Mountain would be..."
Zeng Shushu stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, patted Li Xun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What Senior Brother Li said is exactly what I meant. It really is what a hero thinks! Hehe, hehehe..."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but suddenly a cold snort came from next to them, which came from Lu Xueqi's mouth. Both of them were startled and looked away.
Zeng Shushu asked in a low voice: "Sister Lu, what's wrong with you? Did we say the wrong thing?"
Lu Xueqi glanced at him coldly, turned her head away, and sneered: "Hateful appearance!"
Zeng Shushu was stunned and couldn't figure out the meaning of Lu Xueqi's words. He didn't know whether she was scolding him or Li Xun, or simply scolding both. He turned to look at Li Xun, and the two looked at each other, feeling embarrassed for a moment.
I don't know what to say.
After a while, Zeng Shushu had a thicker skin after all. He laughed, pretending not to have heard anything, and said to Li Xun: "Senior Brother Li, since the news has not been leaked, and it is not your other disciples of Fenxiang Valley, then there is something like this here.
There are traces of it, I’m afraid there’s something weird in it!”
Li Xun frowned, obviously struggling to think. He was about to speak when suddenly Lu Xueqi, who had just turned around in front of him, said coldly: "Beast God!"
Zeng Shushu and Li Xun were both shaken, with stunned expressions on their faces.
After a while, Zeng Shushu nodded slowly. Although he hesitated a little, he still said: "This... Although what Senior Sister Lu said is rather... whimsical, when you think about it carefully, it is really possible!"
The expression on Li Xun's face was different from Zeng Shushu's. He stopped talking, hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's continue walking and see. There's no point in making random guesses here."
After that, he said to the two of them: "You guys should also take a rest. I'll go back and see the junior brothers."
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Senior Brother Li, please do as you please!"
Li Xun said a few more words of caution, turned around and walked back.
After Li Xun had gone far, Zeng Shushu turned his head, looked at Lu Xueqi's back, suddenly smiled and said: "Senior Sister Lu, were you scolding me just now?"
Lu Xueqi snorted coldly, neither admitting nor denying it. Judging from the meaning, it was more of acquiescence.
Zeng Shushu smiled bitterly, pondered for a moment, then walked slowly to Lu Xueqi's side, but lowered his voice and said, "Senior Sister Lu, I have something to ask you."
Lu Xueqi glanced at him and was slightly startled. She saw that Zeng Shushu's expression was very serious and serious at this moment, which was very different from usual. She immediately said: "What?"
Zeng Shushu took a deep breath, looked around, and then whispered: "Senior Sister Lu, tell me honestly, is our sect's Ancient Sword of Killing Immortals really damaged?"
Lu Xueqi's face turned pale, her eyes flashed, and she stared at Zeng Shushu. Even the Tianya Divine Sword in her hand, with its light blue light like autumn water, seemed to make an invisible buzzing sound, stretched out instantly, and then slowly
He took it back again.
Zeng Shushu's expression changed slightly, and he felt that the woman in white in front of him was like ice one moment, but now she seemed to be a sharp and terrifying needle. He couldn't help but take a step back, and said with a low and wry smile: "Senior Sister Lu, you don't have to be like this.
!”
Lu Xueqi stared at him coldly and said, "What do you mean by this sentence?"
Zeng Shushu smiled slightly and said: "How can I not care about this kind of thing since I am also a disciple of Qingyun? Is it possible that Senior Sister Wenmin returned to the mountain temporarily just to report this matter to the teachers?"
Lu Xueqi didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Zeng Shushu nodded and said: "Okay, okay, Senior Sister Lu, you see, I am not malicious, but there are some things here that are very suspicious. There are few opportunities along the way, so I just want to talk to you now."
Lu Xueqi glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"
Zeng Shushu coughed and whispered: "What kind of person do you think Yun Yilan, the owner of Fenxiang Valley, is?"
Lu Xueqi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Zeng Shushu smiled slightly and said: "Let's put it this way, do you think Master Yungu is a simple-minded person? Or he is a person who hates evil as much as he wants and takes the righteousness of the world as his own responsibility, and has no defense against Qingyun disciples who are also righteous.
Where are the people?”
Lu Xueqi snorted and said nothing, but the disdain on her face was clear, and she obviously completely negatived Zeng Shushu's questions.
Zeng Shushu was not angry either. It seemed that he had already known that Lu Xueqi would have such a reaction, and then said: "Since we all know that Lord Yungu is not such a warm-hearted or simple-minded person, then he rashly asked us in the Shanhe Palace that day.
Isn't it strange that the three people asked about the words Zhu Xian was destroyed?"
Lu Xueqi took a deep breath and looked at Zeng Shushu without saying a word.
Zeng Shushu was a little embarrassed and said: "Okay! I know it is inappropriate to talk about a respected elder like this behind his back, but you see, when you think about these things carefully, it is really strange..."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Lu Xueqi said with a cold voice, as if she didn't bother to care about Zeng Shushu's slightly opened mouth, and said coldly: "I just said it, there is nothing to worry about. From Qingyun Mountain to now, I don't think he has anything to worry about."
Not a good person!"
"Uh..." Zeng Shushu was surprised and amused at the same time, and was speechless for a moment. He never dreamed that Lu Xueqi, who had always followed the rules, would be more out of line than him, and directly said something contemptuous of a respected senior.
Come out. But when I think about it, there seems to be a lot of disagreements between this unrivaled beauty and the respected senior and his disciples!
Looking at Lu Xueqi's face, Zeng Shushu felt a chill on the back of his neck for some reason. He intuitively thought to himself, had he accidentally stung a hornet's nest? Then he coughed and quickly changed the subject, saying: "Well, uh, well, let's ignore him for now.
His character, I mean, in this matter, there are at least a few extraordinary things about Master Yun Gu..."
"How did he know about the destruction of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword? This is one." Lu Xueqi interrupted, the expression on her face remained unchanged, but there was a gleam of light in her eyes, like dazzling crystals, "Second,
After he knew it, why did he tell us? He clearly knew that after the news came out of his mouth, we would definitely report it to the teachers of Qingyun Sect, so wouldn't things between Fenxiang Valley and Qingyun Sect be about to change immediately?"
Zeng Shushu nodded repeatedly and said: "I know that with Senior Sister Lu's intelligence, she will never fail to discover the important relationship between this." After a pause, he continued: "Thinking about it carefully, Master Yungu can only have two situations.
, First, there was a spy in Qingyun Sect who tipped him off. He actually knew the news that even Qingyun disciples like me kept it secret. This shows that the status of this spy should not be underestimated. But when he said this,
Isn't it possible that the identity of the spy was exposed instead?"
Lu Xueqi snorted and said: "Secondly, what is the purpose of what he told us? Is it to remind Qingyun Sect that he already knows this secret, or to warn the teachers that Fenxiang Valley is no longer afraid of Qingyun Sect?"
Zeng Shushu took a deep look at Lu Xueqi, sighed, and said: "What I was thinking, it turned out that you had already thought of it. It was useless for me to remind you. But it's right to think about it. You asked Senior Sister Wenmin to temporarily transfer back to Qingyun that day.
, just report these things to your elders!"
Lu Xueqi was silent and nodded.
The corners of Zeng Shushu's mouth moved, and he suddenly let out a long sigh, and his voice was filled with emotion.
Lu Xueqi was slightly startled and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Zeng Shushu gave a bitter smile and said: "I, I sighed for the ancient sword of killing immortals in our sect. To be honest, even though I have thought about this these past few days, I am still extremely reluctant. It's true. I would rather be on my own."
guessed wrong."
Lu Xueqi didn't speak, she just turned her head silently and looked ahead. Deep in the dense forest, it was dark and dark, and the future was not bright at all.
Zeng Shushu let out a long breath, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, there is no other way to think about it anyway. I have to take it one step at a time. I want to see what the master of Yungu sells in his gourd.
What medicine?"
Lu Xueqi didn't answer, her eyes inadvertently turned to the vague trace she just discovered.
Zeng Shushu whispered from the side: "Actually, although the beast god you are talking about is also possible, I always feel that it is not him."
Lu Xueqi said: "Then who do you think he is?"
Zeng Shushu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "If what Li Xun said is true and he is not the other disciples of their Fenxiang Valley, I'm afraid these traces are probably left by the remnants of the Demon Sect."
Lu Xueqi shuddered, turned around, her usually cold and beautiful face moved for the first time, and said, "Why do you say that?"
Zeng Shushu pointed at the trace and said: "Look, although this trace is blurry, it is obviously a trace left by humans passing through this place. Since I have never been to Fenxiang Valley, there is no other sect in the world of righteousness that is more familiar with Shi Shi than them. It is difficult to imagine that they would be able to trace this place in the Wanda Mountains. But the Demon Sect is different. After the war between good and evil, the Demon Sect was expelled from the Middle Earth by the right way. I am afraid that they will also come to such a barren and harsh place. So I think it’s very possible that it’s them.”
"What do you think? Senior Sister Lu?" Zeng Shushu turned around and asked, but looking at Lu Xueqi's face, she couldn't help but be startled.
The beautiful woman stared blankly at the footprints. Her face looked slightly pale, but unexpectedly there was a faint blush coming from the depths of her skin. In this remote and cold ancient forest, she stood quietly, as if I fell into a strange dream and could no longer hear the words of the people next to me. (To be continued)
