The tenth collect the second chapter strange flower
.
Dawang Village.
Xiaohuan stood at the entrance of the village and looked towards Death Lake with some worry. In the direction of Death Lake, he saw that the sky that was still clear in the morning had gradually darkened, and it seemed that there was going to be another heavy rain.
Late last night, she, her grandfather Yi Xian, Jin Ping'er and others were in the Death Swamp together. However, after Jin Ping'er came back from a trip, she looked very tired and sent them both out of the Death Swamp overnight.
Xiaohuan asked Jin Ping'er privately, but Jin Ping'er remained silent and only said: "Now in this dead lake, the situation is far more dangerous than I expected. If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid you will end up harming yourself."
Xiaohuan always believed this sister's words, so she left Death Lake with Yiyi Xian that night. At the same time, she followed Jin Ping'er's instructions and prepared for today before leaving. However, she had known Jin Ping'er for a long time. Last night was the first time I saw Jin Ping'er looking so solemn.
She thought about it and couldn't help but secretly start to worry about this sister.
"Little ring!"
There was a familiar call from behind, and Xiaohuan turned around. Sure enough, it was Yiyi Xian walking over quickly. He only heard him say: "Everything is packed, let's go!"
Xiao Huan nodded silently, but couldn't help but ask Zhou Yixian: "Grandpa, do you think Sister Ping'er is in danger in the death pool?"
Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "How do I know?"
Xiao Huan pursed his lips and glared at him. After all, Yi Xian still loved this granddaughter in his heart. He sighed, looked around and saw no one around, walked to Xiao Huan, and whispered: "We have been in the dead zone these days. , I followed Jin Ping'er and met the disciples of the Changsheng Hall several times, but since last night, have you ever seen any of the disciples of the Changsheng Hall?"
Xiaohuan was shocked.
Zhou Yixian smiled, and his face gradually showed a look that was different from his usual playful smile. His eyes gradually became sharp and bright, and he said: "Especially when you met that fish-headed weirdo that day, I could hear it clearly from the side. , the people who met Jin Ping'er were young masters from the other two major sects of the Demon Sect, the Ghost King Sect and the Wan Du Sect - Gui Li and Qin Wuyan. At this time, these three people were within the influence of the Changsheng Hall main hall. What did you say you would do during the meeting?"
Xiaohuan's eyebrows furrowed together, and he suddenly lost his voice for a while: "Grandpa, do you mean..."
Zhou Yixian said: "Yes, I'm afraid that the Changsheng Hall, which has been in great glory for eight hundred years, will be destroyed in the hands of these three young evil stars. Yu Yangzi is such a good man, but he..." He sighed, and his expression suddenly changed. Xiao Suo came down, was silent for a while, and said: "Nowadays, the internal fighting within the demon sect is becoming increasingly fierce, and there are also intrigues among the righteous. The Qingyun Sect's vitality was severely damaged ten years ago, and it has not recovered yet. I am afraid that all people in this world will be in ruins again."
Xiao Huan was in a daze, and Yi Xian let out a sigh of relief, suddenly cheered up, smiled, and said: "If the world is going to be in chaos, just let him do it! What does it have to do with us? Let's go, let's continue to benefit the people of the world."
Xiaohuan was speechless, but Yiyi Xian didn't seem to care at all. He walked over and picked up the baggage, holding the bamboo pole with "Immortal Guidance" tied to it in his hand. He turned around and was about to greet Xiaohuan, but suddenly he was stunned and looked at Xiaohuan. Looking behind.
Seeing her grandfather's strange look, Xiaohuan quickly turned around and couldn't help but be stunned. She saw Taoist Wild Dog walking towards the direction of Death Lake with a gloomy look on his face. When he glanced around, he saw Xiaohuan and Zhouxian Standing at the entrance of the village.
Early this morning, Taoist Wild Dog, who had been following Gui Li, was suddenly ordered by Gui Li to leave Death Marsh immediately. While Wild Dog was stunned, he also vaguely knew in his heart that Death Marsh was extremely dangerous, and there were advantages to walking. However, after the young man Gui Li said something coldly with a straight face, he felt very unhappy. He cursed all the way and walked out angrily.
At this moment, he suddenly encountered Xiao Huan at the entrance of the village. The wild dog's heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason, and he subconsciously walked around. He didn't know what he was afraid of.
Unexpectedly, before taking two steps, Xiaohuan's voice came from behind: "Taoist Master, wait!"
The wild dog was startled for a moment, then slowly turned around. Zhou Yixian frowned and walked to Xiao Huan, and said angrily: "What did you ask him to do?"
Xiaohuan glared at Zhouxian and ignored him. With a smile on his face, he walked over, took out an umbrella from the baggage beside him, and said to Taoist Wild Dog: "Taoist Master, I haven't returned your umbrella to you yet. ?”
The wild dog glanced at the umbrella, his face was uncertain, he was a little dazed for a moment, and he did not reach out to take it. Xiaohuan didn't care, he put the umbrella into the hands of the wild dog Taoist priest, smiled at him, and said: " Thank you very much that day."
Taoist Wild Dog suddenly felt his eyes light up. He seemed to be a little blurry, and secretly swallowed his saliva.
Xiaohuan walked back to Yiyi Xian, took the baggage from Yiyi Xian's hand, and said, "Let's go, Grandpa."
Zhou Yixian glared at the wild dog who was standing there blankly, followed Xiaohuan, and said to himself: "Why do you keep smiling at him?"
Xiaohuan said angrily: "Grandpa, I am a good person!"
Immortal Zhou Yi made a sound and said, "He is a good man. Am I not the reincarnation of Buddha?"
The figures of Xiaohuan and Yiyixian gradually faded away, and their voices gradually became quieter. The wild dog stood there, holding the umbrella in his hand, motionless. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly stamped his feet and strode up towards Xiaohuan. The direction Huan and Zhou Xian went to.
After their figures disappeared one by one, the Dawang Village returned to calm. In a corner a few feet away from the village entrance, stood a man and a woman. The man was dressed in long white clothes, and the woman was covered in black gauze. They were Qinglong and Youji.
Qinglong said calmly: "Do you know the origin of this week's immortal?"
Youji, who was hidden behind the black gauze, did not speak. She just saw the black gauze swaying slightly and seemed to shake her head slightly.
Qinglong pondered for a moment, with a look of deep thought in his eyes, and then said: "This person is quite extraordinary, and his granddaughter actually has contacts with Jin Ping'er of the Hehuan sect, so we need to pay more attention to him in the future."
You Ji was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Let's go! The important things that the sect leader has asked us to do cannot be delayed any longer."
Qinglong glanced at her, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm and said: "That's right, let's go!"
After saying that, the two of them slowly walked out of Dawang Village, but in the opposite direction to Zhou Xian and others, heading towards the Death Swamp.
I don't know where the wind blows from, passing between the sky and the earth, and there is a faint smell of desolation.
The sky seemed to be getting a little darker.
"Boom!"
There was a thunder in the dark clouds, and big raindrops fell down one after another, soaking the whole world. In a gray sky, Gui Li stood on the top of a big tree and looked around.
Behind him is still the huge wall of miasma. In fact, according to common sense, the miasma of ordinary mountainous evil waters will tend to converge and become silent once it encounters rain. However, the highly toxic miasma in the dead lake does not seem to be affected at all. He is as afraid of rain as he is, no matter how wind blows or rains, he remains standing tall and motionless.
Gui Li slowly turned his head and looked forward, only to see an unexpectedly dense forest growing in the inner swamp. At a glance, he saw that the forest was spreading infinitely amidst the miserable wind and rain. He didn't know. How far is it? Moreover, the rain is quite heavy. Although the sight is much clearer than in the miasma just now, it still cannot see too far.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Suddenly, the branches around him jumped a few times. It turned out that Xiao Hui, who had just left, was jumping on the branches and ran back. He jumped back to Gui Li's shoulder two or three times, and actually picked a few wild fruits from nowhere in his hand, grinning. And Xiao handed one to Gui Li, holding three or four wild fruits in his hand, and opened his mouth to chew.
Gui Li smiled slightly, took it and took a bite. He felt the taste was green but had a different taste.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and the thunder was incessant. Gui Li did not use magic weapons to resist it, and let the rain fall on his body. Xiao Hui sat on Gui Li's shoulder, and the hair on his body gradually became wet, but he didn't seem to care much. He cared about the fruit in his mouth, and "Kaji Kaji" was eating happily. His long tail stretched out and waggled behind Gui Li, which was quite interesting to watch.
Gui Li slowly ate the wild fruit in his hand, and suddenly whispered: "Xiao Hui, did you recognize her just now?"
Xiao Hui seemed to be chewing wild fruits in his mouth, and mumbled a few times vaguely, then glanced at Gui Li with a pair of monkey eyes.
Gui Li didn't seem to think about getting any answers from the monkey, and just said to himself: "Why doesn't she kill me? Isn't she the one who always hates the Demon Sect the most?"
"Boom!"
Xiao Hui didn't answer, but there was a thunder in the sky.
Gui Li slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was filled with raindrops, like knives and swords, turning into thousands and pouring down...
His body trembled slightly, and suddenly his mind wandered, as if he had returned to that night in his boyhood, when he and the kind-hearted old monk were outside the village, and he was talking to himself calmly.
This scene was engraved deep in his heart, and he had never forgotten it in the past many years.
He clenched his hands tightly, his nails digging into his palms, and even his body began to tremble with excitement. At this moment, the soul-eater nestled in his sleeves shone almost at the same time as usual, and a familiar cold feeling spread throughout his body. All over his body, the ferocious aura on the blood-devouring beads seemed to be condensing bit by bit in his eyes.
Xiao Hui screamed uneasily on his shoulder.
In the sky, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky. The ghost roared sharply and flew up. The whole body was filled with red light in mid-air. He stretched out his right arm and the soul-eating soul was already in his hand. He saw the black and blue light condensed in the rain. A huge ray of light suddenly struck down.
At this moment, his eyes were full of bloody red light, his face was full of murderous intent, his face was distorted, and he was roaring like a wild beast.
This huge green light suddenly struck down, and the big tree that was still standing just now was cut in half from the middle, and suddenly collapsed on both sides.
Boom!
There was another thunder in the sky.
Xiao Hui jumped to the side and looked at him silently.
Gui Li knelt on one leg in the filthy rain-soaked soil, holding the Soul Eater tightly in his right hand, his whole body trembling, his eyes flashing fiercely, but his face was full of pain.
Who knows the pain of his sinking...
A peaceful and positive energy rose faintly in his body.
On the clothes soaked by the rain, on his right arm, a circular shimmering light suddenly lit up. This positive yang energy was extremely pure and harmonious, uploaded from the "Xuanhuo Jian" tied to his right arm.
Out, and then into the body, gradually resisting the vicious aura of the blood-devouring beads.
After a long time, the bloody red light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his face became calmer. In contrast, the magic weapon light emitted by the Soul Eater and the Mysterious Fire Mirror gradually became weaker and finally disappeared.
Gui Li stood up slowly as if he had experienced a big battle, looking tired. In the past ten years, he had been studying the Demonic Book day and night, and the natural ferocious aura of the Blood-devouring Pearl had been immersed in him day and night. He didn't know how many times he had
Although he was in danger of being controlled by the blood-devouring bead's demonic energy today, he still had the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and the Brahma Prajna in his body, both of which were righteous and supremely practicing the true Dharma, so he could barely resist.
But the most important thing is that every time when his consciousness is on the verge of losing consciousness, another mysterious magic weapon on his body, the Xuanhuo Jian, will always emit a magical and pure masculine energy, saving him from completely sinking into the evil path of killing.
, pulled back again.
However, he himself doesn’t know how long he can resist the blood-devouring beads of this natural monster, and for him, whenever he thinks of the past and Baguio, the torture is really painful. If it weren’t for his perseverance,
I'm so scared that I've gone crazy.
But even a man as shrewd as a ghost king never noticed these things. He was completely unaware that the most powerful person under him was on the verge of madness day and night.
He stood up slowly, opened his mouth, and then realized that his voice was hoarse: "Xiao Hui, let's go!"
Xiao Hui blinked his eyes, jumped back obediently, and jumped on his shoulder two or three times.
Gui Li gently stroked Xiao Hui's hair and moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing. He took a deep breath, took steps, and walked towards the depths of the forest ahead.
In the death swamp shrouded in rain, it seemed as if nothing could be heard between heaven and earth except the sound of wind and rain. There was silence in the ancient and dense forest, with rain hitting the branches and leaves, and water droplets falling down.
There was another thunder in the sky!
It had been raining for half an hour, but it still didn't stop.
Lin Jingyu wiped his face to wipe away the water droplets on his face, but within a moment, another sheet of rainwater hit him. He gave up his efforts with a faint smile.
He was in the ancient forest, and he was the only one around. Being alone in this wild, dangerous and unfamiliar place, he really felt an inexplicable feeling of fear.
Originally, a group of outstanding young masters from Qingyunmen, Zhengdao Tianyin Temple, and Fenxiang Valley entered Neizeli together. But when they passed through the wall of miasma, something happened suddenly and they encountered the strange eye of the storm in the middle.
The crowd was thrown into chaos. Before they could stabilize themselves, another huge monster suddenly appeared in the miasma and passed through them.
Because the miasma obscured their eyes, no one could clearly see the appearance of the monster. It seemed that the monster was just passing by and had not made any move to harm them. However, its body was too huge. Although everyone was of extremely high moral character, they were all in different situations in the crisis.
The people flew away in panic, and in addition, they were separated in the miasma storm.
Lin Jingyu flew all the way, relying on the "Dragon-Slaying Sword" to protect himself, and rushed out of the miasma, and also came to this ancient inner forest. And the location he rushed out of was actually only a few seconds away from Gui Li's place.
It’s just ten miles away.
These two childhood friends, who were once as close as brothers, are completely unaware of this situation at the moment. However, even if they knew it, what they would face would probably be a more painful scene, right?
Lin Jingyu naturally didn't know all this. He looked up at the sky and saw that the dark clouds were still thick. It seemed that the rain would continue for a long time. He couldn't help but curse a few words in his mouth. After pondering for a moment, he finally decided Take a step forward.
Walking through the forest, there is actually no path at all. In addition to the tall trees, the forest is also full of dense and lush thorn bushes, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and strange beasts that have never appeared in the world outside the Dead Swamp. Poisonous insects appeared in front of Lin Jingyu from time to time.
After only walking for a while, Lin Jingyu had already been in danger several times. If he hadn't been clever and alert, and his spiritual practice had increased significantly in the past ten years, Lin Jingyu would have suffered a big loss.
With a sound of "Woo!", the dragon-slaying sword slashed through a ray of green light, cutting a red venomous snake that jumped from a nearby branch into two pieces. At the same time, Lin Jingyu finally couldn't bear it anymore and immediately jumped into the air. , with the help of the magic weapon, it rose into the sky.
He felt a little relieved in mid-air. At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. The inner swamp was really startling three times with one step. It was far more dangerous than the outer swamp. I really didn’t know where so many alien poisonous insects came from. Where did it come from?
He glanced down at the ground. The remains of the red poisonous snake were still struggling and twisting on the ground, looking as if it was still alive. In addition to this poisonous snake, he had just encountered attacks from poisonous scorpions, toads, and alien lizards. , it’s really a crisis.
Originally, Lin Jingyu thought that he would walk underground for a while without wasting his energy, but now he did not dare to land easily anyway. He looked around in mid-air, and suddenly his body was shaken.
Deep in the forest ahead, behind the heavy rain, a golden light suddenly flashed, and mixed in the wind and rain, there was a faint sound of someone shouting.
Lin Jingyu was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he hurriedly activated the magic weapon and flew towards the place where the golden light flashed.
He was flying in the air with such a magic weapon, so fast. In just a moment, he flew close. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be shocked. He saw that there was a strange open space in the forest here, but there was a space in the middle. In the puddle, a strange and strange flower bloomed.
This flower is extremely huge, with a diameter of several feet. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there could be such a strange species in the world.
Viewed from mid-air, the lower end of the flower is cyan, while the upper end is divided into countless branches, which are bright red in color. The red and green colors in the middle are extremely clear, and a dividing line is clearly visible. And the red ones at the upper end are At the end of the branch, there are small balls as crystal clear as dewdrops, with water shining on them. I don’t know if it’s rain, or it’s just like that? (Note 1)
In the wind and rain, this strange flower trembled gently with the wind, and its faint sweet fragrance spread in the wind.
Lin Jingyu was astonished, and then his attention was attracted to the two people and the beast next to the strange flower. At a glance, his face was filled with joy, and he saw that the two people standing in the field were none other than Feng Huifeng from the same sect. Zeng, and the Dharma of Tianyin Temple.
Meeting an acquaintance in this strange place, Lin Jingyu was so happy that she couldn't help but scream.
The two people in the field were shocked when they suddenly heard the call. When they turned around, they were overjoyed to see Lin Jingyu rushing down. However, after a moment, Zeng pointed Lin Jingyu to look forward, and Lin Jingyu calmed down. My mind was suddenly frightened by the monster in front of me.
The monster that originally confronted Fa Xiang and Zeng was also extremely strange, but first Lin Jingyu was shocked by the huge strange flower in front of them in mid-air, and secondly he was so happy to see them that he suddenly I had never paid attention to the monster in front of me. Looking at it at this moment, I saw that this monster looked like a mango, and was as tall as a man. It had a cyan body, light red eyes, a red tail, fangs in its mouth, and wings on its back. It looked like a monster. A vicious bird. (Note 2)
At this moment, I saw the monster roaring lowly, its wings vibrating, and suddenly a strong wind mixed with rain rushed over.
Lin Jingyu landed next to Zeng and Faxiang. The three of them were leaning against Qi Hua. Lin Jingyu frowned and took a step back.
Unexpectedly, the face of the Dharma Master suddenly changed color. He quickly reached out his hand from the side to hold Lin Jingyu, and whispered: "Don't get close to that flower!"
Lin Jingyu was startled and stopped, but when he glanced at Fa Xiang, the smile on his face suddenly turned cold, and he lightly blocked Fa Xiang's hand.
The Faxiang frowned, sighed, and retracted his hand, knowing that Lin Jingyu still remembered the tragedy in Caomiao Village that year and couldn't let it go.
At this moment, Zeng suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Be careful!"
The two of them were startled and looked forward. Sure enough, the monster's wings vibrated, leaped into the air, and rushed over.
Zeng said anxiously: "Brother Faxiang, we will act according to plan."
Lin Jingyu was about to take action, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but be startled and stopped.
I saw the monster rushing towards me fiercely and quickly, and in a blink of an eye, I was close to you. Faxiang and Zeng suddenly shouted loudly at the same time, and spread out to both sides. The monster looked ferocious, but it didn't seem to have a bright mind. For a moment, it seemed that he had no idea which enemy he wanted to pursue, but at this moment, Fa Xiang's "Reincarnation Pearl" and Zeng's "Xuanyuan Sword" hit it from the side at the same time.
The monster was not afraid at all. He opened his mouth and roared, and with two "bang bang" sounds, the two magic weapons hit the monster and sent it flying backwards. However, looking at the monster in mid-air, with its teeth and claws dancing, it turned out to be completely unscathed. , this kind of endurance even Lin Jingyu couldn't help but change his face. If it were him, he might not be able to withstand Zeng He Faxiang's full blow.
Seeing the monster vibrate its wings and attack fiercely once it stabilized its body, Lin Jingyu concentrated on alert, but at this moment, his whole body was shaken, his mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless.
The monster flew backwards. There was nothing behind it, but it was the huge strange flower. The monster was seen flying and touched the red crystal branches above the flower. Suddenly, the monster roared, but the sound It was already full of panic.
In a moment, this strange flower has undergone incredible changes. All the flowers suddenly came to life, and they surrounded the monster from all directions. The red crystal balls on the branches of the flowers seemed to have a strong power. Due to the adhesive force, the monster stuck to it. Although it struggled hard, it could not break free. After a while, more and more petals surrounded it layer by layer, and finally wrapped up the tall monster, even the monster's The roaring sound also gradually became deeper.
Fa Xiang, who set this trap, Zeng, could not help but change color on his face just like Lin Jingyu when he saw how terrifying this strange flower was.
After a long time, the strange flowers finally completely enveloped the monster, and the monster's shadow could no longer be seen. The place suddenly returned to calm, and only the sound of wind and rain remained in the world.
The three of them looked at each other, Dharma Master sighed, raised one palm upright, and chanted the Buddha's name softly.
Note 1: "The Gods and Demons Are Different. The Hundred Herbs Chapter" "Human-eating flower": a wild and exotic species, the flower blooms more than ten feet long, red on the top and white on the bottom, with red beads on the top, which sticks to living things and devours them.
Another note: In the "Encyclopedia of Modern Carnivorous Plants", this thing is suspected to be a creature of the genus Utricularia. It is distributed in South America and Asia (I have not checked it clearly in North America, but it seems to be also distributed?), but it is not large and is insectivorous.
, not harmful to humans. The appearance is similar to that of ancient books. It may be aquatic bladderwort or sundew.
