The sky is getting dark, and the pedestrians on the ancient road are gradually disappearing. In troubled times, demons are prevalent. Although it is said to be at the foot of Qingyunmen Mountain, a giant of righteousness, no one can say whether they will suddenly encounter any demons.
Everyone has only one life, and even ordinary people cherish their own lives. What's more, when the beast-monster catastrophe just passed, the people who survived the disaster naturally cherished themselves even more.
However, after all, there were still a few figures walking very conspicuously on the road. The first one was an old man, Daogu Xianfeng, holding a bamboo pole with an old piece of cloth hanging on it, with the four words "immortal guides the way" written on it.
.There was a man and a woman following behind. The man wore a headscarf and his face was covered. The woman was pretty and cute. Although it was dark, she still seemed to be concentrating on a book with a black wordless cover in her hand.
This is naturally Zhouxian, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Taoist.
Along the way, they were dragging their feet. From time to time, Zhouxian Xian would look for passers-by to pull him aside. He was beaming and talking nonsense. Naturally, Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog couldn't stand it. It was just those who he pulled to tell fortunes.
But it was true as Zhou Xian had said before. After being told their fortunes by him, everyone's spirits were greatly boosted. After paying the money, they seemed to regain their vitality and left happily.
Later, when Zhou Xianzi had made a lot of money, Xiaohuan was too lazy to care about it and just read books by himself. Over the past few days, Xiaohuan had been fascinated by the book that Mr. Ghost left that day, which recorded the weird and secret techniques of ghosts.
She became more and more obsessed with it. Not only did she often read it when she was resting, but she would not let go of the book even when she was walking. It was getting dark now, but she didn't seem to notice it at all. She was still immersed in the book.
Taoist Taoist Wild Dog next to him greeted Zhou Xian and said, "Senior, it seems we won't be able to reach Heyang City today. If we can't find someone, we may have to sleep in the wild."
Zhou Xian looked at the sky, nodded, and then looked around, but all he saw was darkness. Not to mention anyone living outside this wilderness, there were even dilapidated temples and shabby houses that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Zhou Xian coughed, but saw Taoist Wild Dog looking at him. His granddaughter Xiaohuan didn't react at all, but still followed Taoist Wild Dog, reading the black ghost book. Zhou Xian had never
I felt that it was wrong for my granddaughter to read this book about ghosts, but it was difficult to say what was wrong. Every time he said how cruel and cruel ghosts were, and that they were vicious and evil techniques, Xiaohuan would use one sentence to dismiss him.
Sent away.
"This evil art has many ways to save people, and it is better than your physiognomy!"
Every time Zhou Yixian heard this, he would sweat and be speechless. However, he was thick-skinned and refused to admit defeat, but he couldn't continue if he asked Xiaohuan to abandon the ghost path.
In any case, Immortal Zhou was really displeased when he saw Xiaohuan reading this book. At this moment, he shouted slightly angrily: "Xiaohuan, what time has it been? Why are you still reading that ghost book?"
Xiaohuan then raised his head from the book, looked at Yiyi Xian, and said impatiently: "Grandpa, we are walking so slowly. It's not because of my reading. It's because of you who read people's fortunes and cheated them out of money."
So slow."
Zhou Yixian choked for a moment, his old face turned red, he coughed twice, turned his head, and said with a dry smile: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this, I mean, we have no place to live now, we have to find a way.
!”
Taoist Wild Dog shook his head and said: "I really can't find anyone to stay here. Senior, you are more familiar with this place than us. Think about it, if there are any ruined temples nearby, we can easily deal with it."
Zhou Yixian snorted and sneered: "How do you know that I am familiar with this place? Although I was born in Heyang City, I have always traveled around the world. When did I become familiar with this place... ugh!"
He suddenly became thoughtful and stopped mid-sentence.
Both Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog were a little strange. Xiaohuan said, "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"
Zhou Yixian frowned, as if he remembered something but was not sure. He slowly turned around and looked ahead, as if he was trying to remember something.
"Well... I seem to really remember that there is a branch road not far ahead. If you go in from that small road, although it is a bit far, there is indeed a house there."
Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog both became happy. Xiaohuan smiled and said, "Really! Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
For some reason, Zhou Yixian seemed a little hesitant. He kept frowning and trying to remember something, and said: "But I always feel something is wrong in my heart. It has been too long. I only vaguely remember this direction outside Heyang City."
There is indeed a house, but that house doesn't seem to be a good place. But what it is, I can't remember..."
Xiaohuan rolled her eyes at him, then walked away and ignored him, saying, "Okay, let's leave quickly. At least we have a house. It doesn't matter how shabby it is. At least it's better than sleeping in the open!"
Xiaohuan left first, and Taoist Wild Dog naturally followed.
Zhou Yixian walked at the end and followed involuntarily, but he kept patting his head with his hands, frowning, and muttered: "What kind of house is it? Why can't I remember it?"
After walking forward for a while, the sky was completely dark, but with the help of a few weak stars in the sky, the three of them discovered an almost hidden path on the side of the road, leading to the depths of the wilderness.
Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog both nodded and walked up the trail. Taoist Wild Dog even quickened their pace, walking in front of Xiaohuan while paying careful attention to the surroundings. Only Yiyi Xian still followed at the end.
, mumbling with a bit of complaint from time to time, as if he still couldn't remember the origin and purpose of the house in his memory.
This path is actually very long. The three of them walked for half an hour and still saw no sign of a house. Xiaohuan became a little suspicious and turned back to Yiyi Xian and said, "Grandpa, do you really remember correctly?"
Zhou Yixian was glanced at by Xiaohuan and felt a little guilty. He laughed dryly and said: "This...this...you know when people are old, sometimes they will remember things wrongly, but I really remember that there was a seat on this road."
It's a house, but I can't remember what the house was for. Besides, it's not impossible that the house has been demolished over the past few years. Even if no one demolishes it, it's weather-beaten,
I’m just afraid it might collapse!”
Xiaohuan was speechless for a moment, shook his head and turned around.
Suddenly the wild dog Taoist in front stopped, turned around and shouted loudly: "Come quickly, the house is here."
Both Xiaohuan and Zhouxian were startled. Zhouxian was immediately overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Ah ha, I just said it! With my intelligence, how could I not remember that there is a house here? How could I remember it wrong!"
Xiaohuan ignored him and walked quickly to Taoist Wild Dog. Looking forward, he saw a house at the end of the path. It occupied a large area. But from a distance, the courtyard was deserted and the walls were damaged. It was not popular at all.
None, obviously it has been abandoned for many years.
Zhou Yixian walked slowly, shaking his head and clicking his tongue, as if he was still boasting.
Xiaohuan rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "It's time to leave! Grandpa."
After Xiaohuan said that, the three of them walked towards the house. The night wind blew and it was a bit cold in the wilderness. The three of them all shrank their necks.
When I got closer, I could see more clearly. It was really a dilapidated house. The original wall had collapsed and was in pieces. Even the courtyard gate only had an extremely dilapidated door frame and even the door panel left.
All are gone. As for the courtyard, there is only one house. From the outside, the roof above seems to have been reduced by half, and even the beams are exposed. There seems to be a door to the house, which is ajar, and the whole house looks like
It was built with wooden boards and had been corroded by wind and rain, and a musty smell wafted in the wind.
Xiao Huan frowned, but Zhou Yixian was quite happy. He slowly walked into the yard and looked around. Although there were overgrown weeds, there were no other weird places. It seemed that he still couldn't remember where this place was.
What kind of house it is, but at least it shouldn't be dangerous.
He turned around and called Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Taoist to come in.
Xiaohuan walked to Yiyi Xian, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and said to Taoist Wild Dog: "Taoist Master, do you feel that the layout of this house seems like something we have seen before?"
Taoist Wild Dog was startled and looked around. He looked around for a long time and was confused. He shook his head to express his ignorance.
Yiyi Xian said impatiently: "What do you remember again? This house is so old that I can't even remember your grandfather. Have you ever seen it?"
Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's right, forget it, let's go in and take a look!"
Zhou Xian laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go." After that, he led the two of them up the stone steps in front of the house, and opened the door with a creak.
Just as Yiyi Xian stood at the door, peering into the dark room, Xiaohuan suddenly felt his feet move and hit something. When he looked down, he saw a shabby black sign with writing on it. For a moment,
Curiosity aroused, I squatted down, pulled the black wooden sign out of the ruins, pushed aside the debris, and took a closer look.
After a while, Xiao Huan suddenly trembled and took a few steps back. His face turned a little pale and a little angry, and he said loudly: "Grandpa, look where this place is?"
Zhou Yixian turned around in astonishment. Apparently, although he had been looking around for a long time, the inner room was too dark and he couldn't see clearly at the moment. He said, "What! Xiaohuan?"
Xiaohuan pointed at his feet and said angrily: "See for yourself."
Zhou Yixian lowered his head and looked at the wooden sign carefully. He was suddenly startled, shook his head, wiped his eyes with his hands, looked again, and suddenly shouted "Ah" from the stone steps.
He jumped down, his skills were strong and he didn't look like an older person at all.
On the black sign, although the writing is a little blurry, you can still make out the word "Yi Zhuang".
Xiaohuan was angry and scared, and said angrily to Zhouxian: "You... what kind of road did you lead, and you actually brought us to this kind of ghost place again? You did it once last time in Heyang City
This is the kind of thing."
Zhou Yixian's face was red and white, and he was extremely embarrassed, and said: "Well, didn't this old man also say that he really only remembers that there is a house here, but he really can't remember what it is for. It turns out that it is
…”
Xiaohuan made a "poof" sound, interrupted him, and said: "You are the only one who talks a lot, so why don't you say anything else? Let's go quickly!"
Zhou Yixian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly. Every time we encounter...a place like this, we will be unlucky...ugh!"
He was turning around sharply and speaking when he suddenly stopped in shock. Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist who were following him almost bumped into him.
Xiaohuan stuck his head out from behind and said angrily: "Grandpa, what are you doing again..."
Her voice suddenly stopped.
At this moment, on a dark and windy night, under the light of a few stars, in front of the wilderness haunted house, Yi Xian and the other three stood in shock. They saw a figure standing in front of them at the gate of the courtyard where they had just entered.
The man was quite tall, and the fabric of his clothes seemed to be quite good. However, his whole body was extremely dirty, and his clothes were torn in several places. It could only be seen that it was originally dark green, but judging from the style, it actually seemed to be a piece of clothing.
The robes worn by monks.
Somehow, the man's face seemed to have been in shadow. Zhou Yixian and the other three could not see his face clearly, but this man appeared silently behind them, almost like a ghost, with a cold feeling.
Anger was rising from behind them.
For a long time, the man stood there motionless like a stone. However, Zhou Xian and others were even more frightened. They could not feel the breath of a living person from this figure.
"You...who are you?" The voice was slightly trembling, but Xiaohuan finally spoke slowly and asked.
The man didn't respond, let alone answer, but a moment later, the shadow covering his face suddenly lit up like a will-o'-the-wisp, two points of faint, dark red light, as if they were a pair of strange eyes.
Look deeply at the person in front of you.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yixian let out a soft cry. Xiao Huan and Taoist Wild Dog were both startled. They turned around and saw that Yi Xian did not look at the man's face. On the contrary, his eyes were looking at the man's face.
Arm, said: "That, that is the mark of Qingyun Sect..."
Hundred Thousand Mountains, Zhenmo Ancient Cave.
The darkness seemed to be endless, blocking Gui Li and Jin Ping'er. They walked for a long time, but the road seemed to never end. But the strange thing was that there seemed to be only one road in this ancient cave, and there was no
Other forks in the road save you from the worry of losing your way.
Ever since passing the Black Bat, one or several tyrannical monsters have been guarding every distance in the Ancient Demon Cave. Some of them even moved Jin Ping'er. But at this moment, Gui Li suddenly showed his past.
He had unprecedented strength. He was so powerful all the way, and he went straight in. Almost no monster could block his attack. Even the three-eyed monkey Xiao Hui, his strength was shocking.
The fate of that black bat also happened to several other tyrannical monsters.
Jin Ping'er didn't make a move along the way, but as she watched along the way, her face became more and more ugly. Gui Li's practice was so high and so fast that it far exceeded her imagination. Even in the end, she thought to herself,
Is there anyone else in the Demon Sect who can compare to this person?
The brilliant Ghost King? Or the secretive Mr. Ghost?
At this moment, Gui Li had just knocked away an extremely ferocious two-headed demon leopard in front of Jin Ping'er. The huge beast body hit the hard stone wall heavily, and it looked like it was in danger.
Gui Li didn't even look at the leopard, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to walk forward. Xiao Hui, who was lying on his shoulder, seemed to be full of energy and looked around. Jin Ping'er followed them and passed by the two-headed demon leopard. Turning around, he saw that on the leopard's body, the originally thick body had shriveled up, as if all the essence in the body had been sucked away. This was naturally caused by the demonic power of the blood-devouring bead.
It's just that these monsters are extremely powerful creatures. Even though Gui Li has the soul-eating magic wand in his hand, he can kill such a huge monster in just a moment. This kind of practice is hardly powerful, but terrifying. Already.
When did this man start to make such rapid progress in his moral conduct?
Jin Ping'er became more and more frightened, and the eyes looking at Gui Li's back became more and more complicated. At this moment, Gui Li's body suddenly stopped, and a somewhat vigilant look slowly appeared on his face.
Jin Ping'er was startled for a moment. Although there were many monsters guarding him along the way, he had never seen Gui Li with such a cautious expression. He quickly concentrated on alert and found that something was wrong around him.
After the death of the two-headed devil leopard, the surroundings returned to the usual silence, but at this moment, in the invisible darkness, a low and deep singing voice came: Xiaosonggang, the moon is like frost, and the people are like floating catkins. Injury. Ten years and three thousand years. I hope we will never forget each other...
The song was sad and sad. Although it didn't sound loud, somehow it got into my ears and I heard every word clearly. When I first heard the song, it seemed very sad, and then my mood became sad, as if it was dark. During the process, I actually followed the singer through three thousand years, reliving the unknown but poignant tenderness.
Time is as ruthless as a knife. Isn’t the only thing that warms your heart is a pair of slightly smiling eyes?
Have you forgotten?
Many years later, or another reincarnation and vicissitudes of life?
What do you remember?
The blank emptiness is like a memory, staring blankly into the darkness and into the distance.
In the past, have I ever hugged you?
and you.
The monkey Xiao Hui suddenly screamed "Zhi Zhi" and seemed to be very happy. He actually jumped down from Gui Li's shoulder and swooped into the darkness. (To be continued)
