Chapter 33 Chapter 108 Shadow

"Ba Xiong?" Ba Le thought for a while, finally shook his head, and said, "I've never heard of such a person in my family." Wang Zongjing was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, just leaned back against the wall and looked at the slightly swaying poplar trees outside the Earth Temple. I looked back for a moment, but after all, I couldn't see anything clearly. "Who is that person, and does it have anything to do with our Ba family?" Ba Le was a little more curious, seeing Wang Zongjing's strange expression, and asked softly.Wang Zongjing smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, a friend who has passed away."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and was in a trance for a moment, thinking that the fat man who pretended to be a spy of the Devil's Cult was really his friend? ※※※ In the huge city of Liangzhou, this dilapidated earth temple seems to be a forgotten place under the shadow of prosperity. Watching the changing lights and shadows, the tree shadows swaying, the faint insects chirping quietly, there is no sound, one big and one small, each pregnant Those who are worried, just waited here quietly for a whole day. At dusk, the three people who went out came back one after another, but what they brought back was not the news they had agreed to find Taoist Hongming. On the contrary, with the strange expressions of the three people, Wang Zongjing and Ba Le heard another coming and going. Unexpected news: The fragments of the secret scrolls of the Pangu Great Hall have disappeared, but the Pangu Great Hall itself has revealed some clues.

This is obviously an extremely weird thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that cause and effect are reversed. Wang Zongjing's first reaction was that this was a rumor, but seeing the expressions of Xu Menghong and others, it did not seem false, so he couldn't help asking After going down, it took a long time to realize that during this day, in the city of Liangzhou, which was full of wind and rain and rumors, suddenly there was another shocking news, that was the battle in the east of Liangzhou City that day. As a result, the identities of the two factions that caused the turmoil over the treasures of the Pangu Palace, besides the Ksitigarbha Gate, were secretly announced.

That is a member of the Jinniu sect. The Jinniu Sect is a powerful cultivation sect in Liangzhou. Generally speaking, it is no problem to be among the top ten, and there are quite a few masters in the sect. However, compared with other sects in Liangzhou, the Jinniu Sect is usually regarded as one of the top ten sects. Low-key, there are not many rumors in the rivers and lakes that the disciples of the Jinniu sect are fighting with others. Everyone only knows that this low-key but not to be underestimated sect occupies a geomantic treasure land at the foot of the western side of Manshan Mountain, and practices behind closed doors all day.

Originally, even if the news got out, it wouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, under the watchful eyes of everyone that day, I don't know how many people saw the secret scroll being torn into pieces. Yes, but it is impossible to say that it is troublesome. It is only in this rumor, but there is another conclusion, that is, in the "Tianling Valley" where the Jinniu Sect is located, the precious light has been soaring to the sky these few days. , Even in the middle of the night, it is extremely dazzling. It is very likely that the entrance of the Pangu Hall opened, and the treasures released from it were strangely glowing.

When Wang Zongjing heard this, he immediately sneered, shook his head and said: "This strange sign is so obvious. If it is true, it will spread all over Liangzhou city in one day and night. We have stayed in this city for the past few days. However, I have never heard of this matter, and most of it is false." Xu Menghong's veil moved slightly, and she didn't speak, but Ao Kui, who was standing next to her, couldn't help it, with a look of excitement on his face, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Xiao Wang, don't tell me, this city Someone here really saw that light last night."

"what?" Wang Zongjing was really taken aback at this moment, his complexion suddenly became dignified, and he asked carefully, it turned out that three monks from the "Shadow Sect" in Shanzhou came to Liangzhou for the treasure of the Pangu Hall. After searching for the fragments of the secret scroll for many days but found nothing, and unwilling to give up, in desperation, he searched wildly in the vast Manshan mountain range.In fact, there are still many monks like the three of them. These days, people who want to make money from blind cats can be seen from time to time on the Manshan Mountain. As a result, they naturally got nothing from the Pangu Hall, but unexpectedly , but found that in the remote west foot of Man Mountain, in the Tianling Valley of the Jinniu Sect, in the middle of the night, there were strange lights flickering, the precious light was shining, extremely dazzling, absolutely extraordinary.

The three were overjoyed, they were not local monks in Liangzhou, and they didn't know much about the power here, so they approached easily, and then they were intercepted and killed by the masters of the Jinniu Sect as a matter of course, two of the three died, and only one remained He succeeded in practicing a certain kind of magic from the Shadow School, and was seriously injured and fled back to Liangzhou City. This person was straightforward, after thinking about it, he knew that he could not avenge this great revenge by himself, so he simply didn't do it, and said it directly, and he spoke convincingly, and recognized a certain master of the Jinniu sect, who was right He was one of those who chased and killed Dizangmen in Liangzhou City that day.

As a result, there was an uproar in the city of Liangzhou. Those who are interested will search carefully, and the news is indeed indistinguishable.Now everyone is excited, and the situation of stalemate for many days may be broken. The Jinniu Sect got the treasure map of the secret scroll. If you want to find all the secret scrolls and treasure maps, everyone knows that there is little hope, so it's better to go to Tianling Valley. The sudden change of the matter was really dizzying and caught off guard. Wang Zongjing was stunned for a while before waking up. He turned his head to look at Xu Menghong, with a hint of questioning, and said softly: "Sister Hong, if this is the case, then we... …also go?"

Xu Menghong's single eye flickered for a moment, and instead of answering Wang Zongjing's question, she looked at Ba Le who was standing in the corner behind Wang Zongjing. "Brat!" There was a roar, but Ao Kui, who was standing next to Xu Menghong, came with a black face, with a murderous look on his face, and was about to walk towards Ba Le.Ba Le was frightened by this burly man, and his body shook involuntarily.Wang Zongjing frowned, stretched out his hand resolutely, and blocked Ao Kui's way, then without waiting for Ao Kui to question him angrily, he just looked at Xu Menghong and said, "Sister Hong, it's not time to kill the chicken to get the eggs."

Xu Menghong glanced at him, his eyes were a little cold, Wang Zongjing frowned, but he still stood where he was, showing no intention of retreating.After Xu Menghong pondered for a moment, she shook her head slightly at Ao Kui, who grunted and retreated reluctantly.Afterwards, Xu Menghong moved her veil lightly, signaling Wang Zongjing to follow her to the side. Under the collapsed earth wall, large and small broken bricks were scattered on the ground. Xu Menghong stood in front of the hole in the wall, lowered her voice, and said in a flat tone, "Xiao Wang, the situation has changed." Wang Zongjing was silent. Xu Menghong said again: "The treasure map of the secret scroll is broken into multiple parts, even if we get this piece, it will not help the matter. And in the current situation, we must rush to Tianling Valley, this brat is a burden." Wang Zongjing took a deep breath and said, "Sister Hong, it's better to have something than nothing." Xu Menghong sneered, and said, "He will give it to you? Don't forget that he asked us to help him kill his enemy before handing it over." Then, she turned her head and glanced at the corner over there, and said calmly, " And can you really guarantee that he didn't lie to us? Maybe he just said this casually for revenge. " The corners of Wang Zongjing's eyes twitched, and after a long while, he raised his head and said, "Sister Hong, give me half an hour, and I will take him out to fetch the fragments of the secret scroll." Xu Menghong stared at him, and said coldly: "What if he doesn't have one?" Wang Zongjing was silent for a moment, then said: "Then I will bring his head back." Xu Menghong nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ※※※ The sunset at dusk slowly falls on the west side of the tall and majestic Manshan Mountains, radiating the last light at the far end of the horizon, covering the mountains with a layer of sunset red glow. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Manshan stands tall on the land of Liangzhou. The towering peak is still covered with white caps that never fade in this early spring, and the snow-covered scenery spreads to one-third of the peak. In one place, the snow line appeared unevenly, and the dense coniferous forest surrounded one mountain after another. A white figure stood on a small cliff not far below the snow line, standing next to a rock, a small waterfall fell from the mountain wall, the water was crystal clear, and converged into a cold mountain stream flowing from the top of the cliff. It flows through, and then flows out from the cliff as high as 10,000 zhang, turning into water droplets all over the sky and falling to the mountains. This beautiful woman who does not look like the color of the world is standing barefoot in the cold and powerful ice that melts the ice and snow. She looks out into the distance and is thoughtful. She is dressed in white clothes that are loose and soft. Dancing in the air, like a fairy about to fly into the sky. The brilliance of the setting sun and the setting sun seemed to be nostalgic for her face, lingering and unwilling to recede, but time was as ruthless as a knife, after all, after several twists and turns, in the quiet forest, the setting sun cast the last figure. Darkness swept in from behind the mountains, engulfing the majestic Manshan. The underwear fluttered in the dark wind, and the water seemed to be a little colder. It's just that she still stood peacefully, looking into the distance, as if she was waiting for something. The night was getting darker, the mountains and forests were bleak, the stars were getting brighter, and the mountain wind was howling, making the sky full of gloomy colors. Just as he was returning, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the depths of the dense forest behind the woman. The darkness is like a quiet water surface, but this step is like a stone entering the water. It immediately broke through the mountain and screamed. Come here. Lin Shu's mountain situation, the sound of the wind, suddenly the situation of the world seemed to be attracted by the sudden sound of footsteps, walking with it, breathing with it, each step vibrated, just like this, one person walked from the depths of the dense forest. He walked out slowly and came to the back of the Bainong woman. The night froze. The figure stood still, but it seemed that all the darkness in the world was absorbed by him. The mountains, forests, wind, and water seemed to be captured by it. The woman in white, who had been standing quietly for a long time, finally had a slight change on her face that seemed to never change. She turned around slowly, looked at the black figure behind her, with a gentle smile on her face, as if The whole person lit up a little in the darkness, smiled slightly, and said, "Long time no see." Then she looked at that figure, an unknown gleam flashed in her eyes, she said softly: "Then should I call you Zhang Xiaofan, or Ghost Li?"
