Chapter 6 lost
There was a commotion in the car, and there was an extra mirror in front of each Taoist, with different thicknesses and circles.
The mirror is suspended in the air, but with the brush strokes of the people, it shows various handwriting pictures, and even the faces of men, women and children. People talk and laugh at the faces in the mirror, and the conversation is very happy.
Lan Zhongbi read aloud to the mirror: "Bafei Academy has opened its doors to recruit students, and there are already 5,000 students who have applied for the exam. The number is increasing day by day, and it may exceed 10,000... Hey, it's 'a hundred people fight for one sword' again. Poor boy, I wouldn't be surprised if there were suicides this year!"
"What's so great about the Bafei Academy?" the policeman answered angrily.
"Tch!" Lan Zhongbi glanced at him, "You Ruren, I remember you took the exam three times, but unfortunately you didn't pass the exam once!"
"So what?" You Ruren raised his eyes, "I'm still alive and well!"
"That's because you have a thick skin!" Lan Zhongbi stared at the image in the mirror, and said in a deep thought, "My nephew will also apply for the exam this year, so I have to cheer him up!" Disheveled, sleepy-eyed, mumbling: "Auntie, what are you doing so early?"
"I just came back from the world of mortals." Lan Zhongbi said with a smile, "Xiao Shang, how is the exam?" The boy wailed, and the mirror was pitch black.Lan Zhongbi was stunned, and then burst into anger: "Good boy, dare to hack my mirror? Come on, let's see how I deal with you!"
"It's no wonder he is!" Coral Chair said in a drawn out voice, "There are quite a few ruthless characters this year!"
"Oh, it doesn't work, I forgot that you are the special envoy of the Dou Ting!" Lan Zhongbi was eccentric, biting the word "special envoy" on purpose, "So, great envoy, you must have some gossip?"
Coral Chair's face sank, and he said coldly: "That's right, I just got the news that the students who will apply for the exam this year include the Huang family, the Tian family, the Jing family, the Fu family, the Si family, and the Zhongli family..."
He listed all the way, Lan Zhongbi listened, his eyes widened and his face gradually turned pale.Mingbuling said again: "According to the prediction of the 'Taoist Disciplinary Department', the number of aristocratic families applying for the exam this year will be double that of last year!"
"The number of students enrolled remains the same?" the bearded braid asked stupidly.
"What did you say?" Ming Buling rolled his eyes, "When did the number of people change?"
"Damn it!" Lan Zhongbi muttered in a low voice, "Xiao Shang is sixteen years old after this year!"
"Sixteen years old?" You Ruren grinned, "Shouldn't you say that you have passed the exam twice?"
"Unsuccessful students, shut up!" Lan Zhongbi stared fiercely at her colleague, her eyes burst into flames.
Fang Fei listened for a while.I don't know what to say at all.Just wondering, there was a flash of fire around Yanmei, and a bronze mirror appeared in front of Yanmei. The mirror surface was a piece of crystal, and the mirror frame was two fire phoenixes, chasing each other around the round mirror.
Yan Mei swiped a brush, and a man in his forties appeared in the mirror, with a high forehead and long brows, staring at the girl with serious eyes.The girl looked in the mirror with a coquettish look on her face, the man opened his mouth coldly and yelled something, but no sound came out.
Yan Mei's expression changed slightly, she raised her eyebrows and stared, and called out something, but there was still no sound, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking Fang Fei out.The two came back and forth, silently yelled at each other for a few words, Yan Mei flicked her sleeves, and the mirror was completely dark.
She turned her head, her brows and eyes flushed, and she called out to Fang Fei, "What are you looking at? What's there to see?"
"Who are you arguing with?"
"It's none of your business!" Yan Mei jumped up and rushed towards the rear of the car.Fang Fei hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"
Yan Mei didn't answer in silence, she stretched out her sleeves and wiped her eyes as she walked.Fang Fei felt uneasy and wanted to get up and follow.Ling Xuzi sneered and said:
"She's in the bathroom. Huh, blind bastard, don't you see her crying?"
"Why is she crying?" Fang Fei looked at the mirror, and the fire phoenix on the mirror also stopped, just like the master's state of mind, the fire light was dim and desolate.Ling Xuzi said again: "Don't you know? This is a psychic mirror!"
"Psychic mirror?"
"As long as you use the talisman, through this mirror, you can know any news in Cathay, and communicate with any creature in Cathay. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, it can only be used in Cathay. Once you leave Cathay, This mirror doesn't work."
"Yan Mei didn't come back. Fang Fei raised his watch subconsciously. He saw that the three hands didn't move at all. He twisted the mainspring several times, but the hands still didn't move. Ever since the old house was eaten by Wuyou, the watch has become his father. The only relic, Fang Fei was anxious and shook vigorously."
"It's useless!" Ling Xuzi sneered, "The timers in the world of mortals will all expire when they reach Cathay!"
"Ineffective?" Fang Fei exclaimed, "Why?"
"Boy, have you ever heard of 'One day in the sky, three years on the earth'?"
Fang Fei shook his head.Ling Xuzi snorted and said: "This sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it also implies a truth, that is - the time of Zhendan passes slower than that of Hongchen. One year of Zhendan is equal to four years of Hongchen, that is to say, According to the Hongchen calendar, you are fifteen or sixteen years old. If you use the Zhendan calendar, you are not yet four years old."
The old Yuan Ying laughed strangely, but Fang Fei was very frustrated. He lowered his head and fiddled with the watch mechanism, which failed here, and the watch seemed to be dead.
Yan Mei hadn't come back yet, Fang Fei was doing nothing, put on his glasses and looked, the sun was shining brightly outside the car, the clouds were rolling, the scene was very limited, but it was also very boring.Just as he was about to take off his glasses, the sky darkened slightly. He raised his head subconsciously. The sky above suddenly seemed to be dyed with ink, and turned into a vast night in a blink of an eye.
The darkness spread rapidly, and the day disappeared.Fang Fei was dumbfounded, looking at the depths of the night sky, a miserable green full moon rose.
The green moon is big and round, with a very strange appearance—the center seems to be dark green, which gradually fades from the inside to the outside. With the dark green as the center, many thin black stripes radiate out, like the streams on the moon, clearly still pulsating. flowing.
Looking at the moon, Fang Fei felt a gloomy air, but before he came back to his senses, the green moon flashed and then disappeared.
He let out a soft cry, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and again, the green moon reappeared, Gu Lu turned twice, and the light became brighter.
Fang Fei's heart was squeezed, and a terrible thought broke into his mind. He trembled and couldn't help shouting: "Eyes, those are eyes!"
The Taoists were busy contacting their families, and when they heard the yelling, they were so annoyed that they raised their eyebrows and scolded angrily: "What eyes? Brat, I don't think you have eyes..."
"He's a blind bastard!" The old Yuan Ying echoed loudly.
"Hey!" A long cry came, loud and clear, and the car body trembled.Ling Xuzi was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly, the psychic mirror slammed and fell to the ground hard.
"Peng, my God, it's Peng!" The white tiger man let out a shrill scream, and the Taoists jumped up one after another, with deep fear on their faces.
"Don't panic..." Before the girl in snow yelled, she heard a series of clicks, and four huge pointed cones got into the car.A Taoist couldn't dodge in time, the huge cone pierced through his chest, and blood flowed profusely immediately.
In an instant, the carriage was torn apart, and a gust of wind poured in through the cracks. Before Fang Fei could scream, the soles of his feet were empty, and he suddenly fell straight down.
There were screams one after another, and Ling Xuzi's voice was caught in it, which was extremely sharp and piercing.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Fei landed under the speeding car.The giant cone is being retracted, and the speeding car is trying to shrink inside.The coffee table and chairs were crowded together, and half of his body suddenly broke out among the sundries——Gan Xin's face was contorted, his hands were scratching, and a silvery-white circle of light was spinning crazily in front of his eyes.The white tiger man stared at Yuanguang with a strange expression, two lines of blood gushed out of his eyes and flowed down his cheeks.
The strong wind blew away the glasses, the dry shadow was blurred, and a huge bird's claw became clear.The bird's claws were black and shiny, holding the speeding car firmly.The roller coaster has gone through three calamities without any injuries. At this time, it is shattered and its feathers are flying, lying between the claws of the birds, and only the dying struggle is left.
High in the sky, rays of light flickered around.When the catastrophe is approaching, the Taoists show their magical powers and rush to escape!
"Yanmei..." Just as the cry came out, he was blown away by the strong wind, white clouds rolled around, and he had already fallen into the clouds.At this time, the sky brightened, and thousands of flames burst into it. The flames were extremely dazzling, and outlined a huge black shadow.
That is a giant bird!Its body is pitch black, its eyes are green, its wings are stretched out, its length is unknown, all the light of the red sun is blocked by him, and the clear sky is just above its back!
"Is this Peng?" Fang Fei looked at the giant bird, his surprise overshadowed his fear.
In the light of the fire, a white shadow came and went like lightning, sending out a shower of fire, pouring towards the roc, but falling into the middle of the black shadow, it was like a star falling into a sea of fire, and it was extinguished in a blink of an eye.
"Little...naked...worm" Yan Mei's shout came from afar, and was blown into pieces by the strong wind.
"I..." As soon as Fang Fei opened his mouth, the cold wind gushed into his throat, causing a dull pain in his chest and lungs.
Dapeng was enraged by Huoyu!It turned over and poked its head out. Its eyes were dark green, as if the sun and the moon were running side by side, and its beak was half-opened and half-closed, like a black hole that swallowed everything.
Turning around, the bird's wings swung in a semicircle, rolling up a boundless hurricane.Fang Fei took a tight breath and bumped into a soft wall of wind, which seemed to be galloping forward like a thousand horses.
Gao Tian's cold current rolled past, and Fang Fei's body gradually became numb. If this continues, he will either be torn apart by the strong wind, or he will be frozen to death sooner or later.
His mind gradually blurred, and suddenly, a weak voice sounded from the bottom of his heart: "Remember... in case of danger, you should hold on to the Yu Talisman... Hold the Forbidden Yu Talisman... the Yu Talisman..."
"Feather Talisman..." Fang Fei suddenly woke up. He looked hard, and the white feather was swept up by the strong wind and was dangling in front of his eyes.Almost instinctively, he stretched out his right hand and held the feather talisman firmly.
There is a slight red light on the feather talisman, which seems to indicate something.Fang Fei leaned in front of his eyes, and the strokes on the feathers gathered together to honestly form four small characters.
"...call out the words on it..." A thought flashed through Fang Fei's mind, and Fang Fei clenched the feather talisman tightly, trying his best to call out, "Yu-hua-deng-xian-"
The feather talisman melted in response, and got into the palm of the hand.A wave of heat flowed all over his body, and Fang Fei suddenly became conscious!
His back was itchy and numb, as if something was sticking out, it was hot and wet, followed by a hula, a pair of silvery white wings shook out from behind Fang Fei!
The silver wings are broad and powerful, as if they were born with it, and the power in the body is rushing so fast that it can reach every feather.
Fang Fei was so surprised that he flapped his wings desperately.The feeling of helplessness disappeared, and he tried to move his left wing up and his right wing down, turning around and facing the ground below.
Breaking out of the cover of the roc, the hurricane behind him was still violent, and the white clouds in front of him were like a formation, retreating one after another, like a girl with her veil off, a vast mountain forest, revealing her true colors——
The sun is shining from the sky, and the colors of the mountains and forests are very wonderful, as if the creator has opened a treasure chest. The ice blue ones are like gems, the fiery red ones are like corals, the deep purple ones are like crystals, and the bright yellow ones are like gold nuggets.More mountains and forests are like freshly washed emeralds, floating green for hundreds of feet, flowing green for thousands of miles, rushing towards the distant sky like waves before and after.
These mountains have strange shapes, some of which are intertwined with two peaks, forming a huge spiral; Before the formation of the mountain, a dragon was drilled through the wind.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the wind gradually weakened, and Fang Fei was finally able to stop the castration.He looked back, the red sun was in the sky, the white clouds were misty, Peng and people were all gone.
There was a stabbing pain in his chest, and the loneliness was blowing like the wind from the sky. Only then did he realize that he was lost, lost in Cathay.
The strength of the wings became weaker and weaker. Fang Fei passed through a ring-shaped mountain peak and passed through a deep purple forest. White lights flickered in front of him, showing a small snow-covered clearing.
Fang Fei raised his left wing, looked at the snow field, and landed lightly.
His feet were very warm and soft when they stepped on the ground. He looked down and saw that the ground was not covered with snow, but a lot of weak grass. The grass blades were white and dusty, as if they were the same color as ice and snow.
The moment it landed, the feather talisman exhausted its strength, and the silver wings hung down from its back. With a light touch, it turned into little silver stars.
Fang Fei raised his hand to fish it out, and only got silvery white fine sand in his hand. As soon as the silvery sand touched his body temperature, it melted away quietly.
Annoying bitterness welled up in his heart, his right knee gave way, and he fell to his knees.A sour heat hit his eyes and nose, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. Fang Fei crawled on the soft lawn, crying silently.
Inadvertently, the herbs under her body were stained with bright green, and the green ripples rippled. In a blink of an eye, all the grass leaves turned into colors, green and fluffy.
The green is getting darker and darker, then it turns into sky blue again, the blue gets darker, then turns purple again, the purple fades, and then turns deep red again... Fang Fei was surprised and forgot his sadness for a moment, and when he got up, the green underfoot was The lawn had turned a soft yellow, and the yellow gradually faded, and it didn't take long for it to return to its true color of snow white.
Fang Fei stretched out his hand, wanting to grab a clump of herbs.But when the fingers touched the grass, a shy feeling came over, as if to say: "I'm so weak, why did you hurt me?"
The young man was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood that this love came from the white grass, and he accidentally met the fragile grass heart.
"Yes, why should I hurt him?" Fang Fei shook his head mockingly, and gently withdrew his hand.
The lawn is no more than 100 meters straight, surrounded by towering ancient trees, covered by branches and branches, with only a little sunlight falling down.The Japanese car was speeding westward, and the lawn was getting darker. Fang Fei couldn't help but feel a little fear. He raised his eyes and saw the shadows in the woods, as if something was hidden.
The snow-white figure flashed in front of his eyes, and the cry of Dapeng was still in his ears—he shook his head vigorously, put aside these terrible thoughts, his heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to think deeply.
Suddenly there was a burst of loud laughter, and there was a fluttering sound on the treetops. Several fire-like birds were frightened and rushed to the sky with their wings flapping.
Is there someone in the woods?Fang Fei was stunned, he stood for a while, reached out to touch his trouser pocket, thank God, the Charm Sword was still in his pocket.
Laughter kept thinking, Fang Fei held the Charm Sword in his hand, calmed down, stepped over the white grass carefully, and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
This is a barren land!
Looking west from the south, you can see rolling mountains.The mountain is very narrow and long, shaped like the back of a crocodile; the rocks on the mountain are brownish red and purple, like blood clots that have coagulated for a long time.
A big river flows out of the mountains, as dark as ink, and it detours thousands of miles on the Gobi, writing several hearty "the"
words, and finally entered a fiery red desert.The strong wind blows from the north to the south, setting off a dust storm that soars into the sky. Here, the river water changes from wide to narrow, from deep to shallow, and finally exhausted and cut off.
The wind blows the quicksand, revealing broken arms from time to time. The magnificent stone statues are half buried in the sand, with incomplete and mottled faces, like ridiculous graffiti; The wall is sometimes high and sometimes low, with endless vertical and horizontal lines. Just looking at the huge foundation, one can still imagine the scenery of that year.The altar behind the wall rose from the ground, half of it was intact, and the other half was destroyed by the meteorite. The black meteorite was embedded there, like a desolate eye.
The three-tailed scorpion has been crawling across the sand.His middle tail is erected high, and the left and right tails are circling rapidly in a circular shape.The left tail penetrated into the sand and attacked a sleeping rat demon. The toxin was injected into the rat's neck, and the meat ball was killed instantly.The scorpion pulls out its sharp front pincers, gouges out its prey, and disembowels it.
The smell of blood attracted a two-headed boa.There was a fierce fight in the desert, the snake's teeth could not bite through the scorpion's strong armor, but the scorpion's pincers broke the big snake's neck.The snake head shrugged and pulled down, and the scorpion won again.
It devoured its prey voraciously, and even in its busy schedule, it did not forget to catch a passing sand ginseng.It feasts on this dessert, draining the delicious juices and leaving only a soft golden crust.
The three-tailed scorpion continued to move forward, rolling over the fiery red desert like a tank.They either died or fled, leaving behind a series of messy corpses behind the scorpion demon.
There were slight fluctuations in the air.The scorpion became alert, its raised middle tail trembling non-stop.
"Snake! Winged snake! Die! Damn it..." It cursed while running away from its impending nemesis.It climbed behind a protruding stone - the foundation of a great pillar.The scorpion dug through the quicksand and got in. The color changed rapidly, from dark brown to fiery red.
The sound of the winged snake flapping its wings did not appear, a red light fell from the sky, and a man in black appeared on the sand.
The man faced the stone statue and looked up quietly.The stone statue was nearly half buried, but it was still magnificent. Its pierced eyes were ten meters above the ground, as if hanging above his head.
The man came alone, and the dust flew around him.His black hair was long and messy, fluttering in the wind.
"Human!" The scorpion was so hungry and thirsty that it secreted a lot of toxins, and its mind was full of the deliciousness of human flesh.
"People..." It got out of its hiding place and crawled forward silently.
Ten feet, five feet, one foot—it's so wonderful that the prey didn't notice it.The scorpion exerted all its strength and wedged itself deeply into the sand.
Huh, it soared into the air, and rushed towards the man with the gust of wind. Its three tails were like a peacock spreading its tail, one struck from above, hooked to the head of the prey, and two bowed left and right, wrapped around the bare neck.The venom in the tail was full and seemed to be overflowing.
Whoosh, a black spear pierced out across the air, heck, the scorpion pierced the spear from head to tail.
The pain of leaving runs through the whole body.The scorpion struggled twice, but became stiff in vain. There seemed to be invisible flames on the black spear. In the blink of an eye, the three-tailed scorpion turned from red to black, from black to white, and suddenly turned into flying ash, which was scattered with the strong wind.
"Card!" A chuckle came from the stone statue's head.The man in black withdrew his spear and looked up. He was wearing a black iron mask, which was dark and dull, showing no joy or anger.
On the helix of the colossus stood a young woman, her water-green sleeves fluttering in the wind, and her tender skin seemed to drip water.Her face was covered with a faint green veil, and her pupils rolled around, and the dead desert also had a sense of life.
"I want to sue!" The woman giggled, "Gao, you use Nirvana to kill the scorpion!"
"You are not much better!" The man in black said coldly, "You treat the ancient magician as a stepping stone!"
"Who is this person?" A figure flashed beside the woman, and two young Taoists appeared.The one who spoke was fair and delicate, with hair like a hedgehog. He stared at the man in black with hostility in his eyes.
"A friend." The woman in green replied lightly.
"Friend?" Hedgehog head was furious, "Why is there another friend? Didn't you bring us to find the magician's treasure? How can we divide it with one more person?"
"There's more than one treasure!" The green-clothed woman smiled, "Just pick it, you've picked enough, we'll come again!"
"You have such a good heart?" Another Taoist with a round head and a round face glanced up at the woman from time to time, "You, don't you have selfish intentions?"
"Of course I have selfish intentions!" The woman in green stretched out her snow-white fingers and touched the face of the round-faced Taoist. The man staggered back and almost fell off the stone statue.The girl in green smiled and said, "What a shy child, I really like you in my heart!" The man had just stood still, but when he heard this, his round face turned blood red, and he almost fell down again.
"Lu Yao, you stupid bastard!" The hedgehog head glared at his companion, "Why don't you fall down and die?"
"Of course you want me to die, and you can eat double portion after I die!" Lu Yao muttered softly.
"You still dare to talk back?" Hedgehog head screamed angrily, "Stinky boy, I can crush you to death with one finger!" cold sweat.
"Wu Ye! Don't scare him!" The woman in green stretched out her hand and patted Hedgehog's shoulder: "Don't you know how powerful you are?"
"Miss Yin Ruo!" Wu Ye changed his face and smiled openly, just like a puppy wagging its tail, "Will you accept my marriage proposal after finding the magician's treasure?"
"Marriage is a big deal!" The woman in green spread her hands, "I don't want to be so casual!"
"I hate casual women!" Wu Ye stared into the eyes of the woman in green, seemingly fascinated, "That's why I like you."
The woman in green smiled, but before she could answer, the man in black said abruptly, "Is your name Yin Ruo today?"
"Isn't that a bad name?" The green-clothed woman raised her face, "Don't mind your own business!"
"Your name is Yin Ruo today?" Wu Ye showed a trace of doubt, "Then, what was your name yesterday?" The woman in green gave him a look: "Do you believe him or me?"
"Me?" Wu Ye met her eyes, and suddenly became confused again, "Of course I believe you!"
"Good boy!" Yin Ruo smiled and touched Wu Ye's cheek.Wu Ye was intoxicated and sullen again, shouting loudly: "I'm not a child!"
Yin Ruo smiled and said, "Why hasn't that snake come yet?"
"Snake?" Wu Ye asked, "The two-headed anthrax or the python demon?"
Yin Ruo shook her head with a smile, and suddenly heard the man in black say coldly, "He's coming soon!"
"Hmm!" Yin Ruo looked up at the sky, "Where is he, why can't I see him?"
"Yeah!" Lu Yao set up the awning with his hands, "There is nothing in the sky!" Wu Ye glared at him, "You bastard, talk nonsense, of course there is nothing in the sky." Lu Yao lowered his head in embarrassment.Yin Ruo's eyes flashed: "Could it be that..."
"That's right!" The man in black spoke coldly, "He got into trouble in the world of mortals and alarmed Dou Ting. The White Tiger Hall is looking for him everywhere..."
"Who?" Wu Ye screamed loudly, "Who alarmed Dou Ting, Yin Xing is my father! Huh, White Tiger Hall is looking for him? Then he must have committed a serious crime! Who is he? I want to take a closer look! ’ he yelled, puffing out his chest and stomach, trying to show his masculinity.
"Ambition!" Yin Ruo nodded, "You will see him soon!"
The sand dunes in the distance undulate without wind, advancing like a tide.Wu Ye was taken aback, he might as well make a wave of sand, set off a dust storm 100 meters high, and slap his head and face.
The man in black didn't move, and the sand and dust fell around him, forming a ring-shaped wall of sand; Yin Ruo giggled, flicked his sleeves, and a strong wind blew away the oncoming Kuangsha!Wu Ye swiped his brush vigorously, but he couldn't avoid eating a mouthful of sand; Lu Yao was even worse, he was knocked down by the sandstorm, and the stone statue fell straight into the sand with his head and feet upright!
Wu Ye scolded "Big Bore", and was about to see his companion alive when the quicksand on the ground swirled like flying, and a gray-white monster emerged out of the ground, resembling a lizard, with a pointed head, two blood-red eyes, and a vertical nose. with one corner.
Standing on the back of the beast was a strange man with no hands, nose or eyebrows. His two empty sleeves were like the wings of a bird. He opened his mouth and let out a shrill laugh.
"Ghosts!" Yin Ruo smiled slightly, "You are late!"
Wu Ye trembled when he heard the name: "Miss Yin Ruo, what do you call him?"
Yin Ruo laughed and didn't answer, but Gui Bafang said sharply, "Yan Gui, who is this kid?"
"Yangui?" Wu Ye's expression changed drastically, before he could raise his hand, Yin Ruo flicked his sleeve, and Wu Ye was strangled tightly by a golden rope of light.He struggled hard, but the light rope tightened instead of loosening, and it was deeply strangled into the flesh. Wu Ye screamed in pain, and fell on the ground with a thump, curled up into a ball.
"He is Wu Shi's son!" Yan Gui's voice was very cold, "A fool who talks too much!" Wu Ye wished to bump his head to death after hearing this.
"Wu Shi's son?" Gui Bafang stared at the Taoist and licked his lips, "It looks delicious!" Wu Ye felt a burst of damp heat in his lower body, and his body shivered like chaff.
"It's not your turn to eat delicious food!" Yan Gui smiled, "Ghost Ba Fang, why are you riding an earth dragon?"
Gui Bafang snorted and said impatiently, "I've encountered a little trouble!"
"Little trouble? Did little trouble make you a rat that burrows into the ground?"
"It's none of your business!" Gui Bafang screamed.
"You went to the world of mortals, did you get the hidden book?"
Gui Bafang rolled his eyes and stared at the man in black: "You should ask him about this, this despicable traitor, shameful scum!"
Yan Gui looked at the man in black in surprise, and said, "Shadow Demon, what do you say?"
"How would I know?" Shadow Demon said coldly, "He's either going crazy, or he just flashed his tongue!"
"Nonsense!" Gui Bafang's eyes were blazing, but his voice was very gentle, "Don't pretend that I don't know—why do you keep wearing a mask and refuse to show your true colors?" The earth dragon under him felt the master's anger , showing yellow teeth at Shadow Demon.
"It's just personal preference!" Shadow Demon said in a tired tone, "Damn it, take care of your bastard, otherwise, I'll stuff its big mandy head back into its cavity!"
"You bastard!" Gui Bafang smirked, "I know who you are. You helped that girl lure me away, and you used the same light as her. Xiaxia, Nanming Island, that's really an idiot!" Good place……"
The earth dragon responded strangely, and its scarlet tongue stretched out so long that it almost licked the shadow demon's face.Leng might as well protrude the left hand of the man in black, grasping the one horn, and suddenly pressed down.
The size of the two sides is out of proportion. Compared with the earth dragon, the shadow demon is like a mouse meeting a tiger.But with this press, the monster's lower jaw hit the ground, and the upper jaw dropped like a guillotine. It was too late to retract its long tongue, and it was bitten into two pieces.
Dilong was about to faint from the pain, his mouth was closed together, he couldn't bite, he couldn't bark, he wanted to struggle, but his head seemed to be crushed by a mountain, he could only dig out a big hole in the quicksand with his limbs.
"Ah!" Ghost Bafang flew into the air with his sleeves on his buckets, spit out a long blood red tongue, the tongue was pale and shiny.
"Interesting!" The Shadow Demon thrust his spear into the ground, and shook out a brush with his right hand.
Yan Gui's heart sank.Once these two fight against each other, it will be earth-shattering, not to mention the ruins, even the mountains of blood and stagnant water may also suffer disaster.
She hurriedly changed her mind, trying to persuade her, when she suddenly heard a voice from the ground——
"It would be so much fun if my left arm hurt my right arm!"
The voice was gloomy and depressing, rolling across the ground like thunder.With the sound, the quicksand on the ground gathered and scattered, convex and concave, and turned into a huge human face. The sand flowed endlessly, and the facial features were blurred at first, but gradually became clear—the cheeks were thin, the forehead was high, the bridge of the nose was narrow and straight , like a newly sharpened blade, his eyes sunken and sunken, like two dry wells.
"It's been too long, I've waited too long..." Sandface was so huge that when he spoke, the whole ruins trembled.
"...Shadow Demon, let go of the earth dragon!" The sand-faced man said in a muffled voice, "Ghost Bafang, put your tongue back!" When he said this, his eyebrows and eyes fluttered, just like ordinary people.
The Shadow Demon snorted and raised his hand, and the Earth Dragon backed away whimpering.Gui Bafang also withdrew his tongue and landed lightly on Dilong's back.A stream of quicksand wrapped the severed tongue, and sent it straight into the monster's mouth. With a flash of blood, the two severed tongues were connected as before.After this lesson, the earth dragon's ferocious flames completely disappeared, and it looked like a beaten puppy, licking its paws and whining.
"Mage! The Yinshu failed because..." Gui Bafang stared at Shadow Demon viciously, "There are traitors in our camp..."
"Enough, enough!" the Sand-faced man interrupted him, "I know what happened in the world of mortals. Well, let's talk about you first, Ghost Bafang, you are willful and arrogant, just like your predecessor Same brainless..."
The ghost burst into anger from all directions, with a tongue hanging out of its mouth, and let out a hissing scream.
"...You brought Fei Yi to the world of mortals with great fanfare. You indulged your mana and let the monsters do their best. You set up a black altar in the Yinlinggu Cave, and you moved the altar guards far away so that your opponents could take advantage of it. You are self-willed. , did not listen to the advice, but killed your loyal devil... The most intolerable thing here is that you did not get the hidden book... In the past, I would tear your bones apart and beat you back to the place where you will never be restored ..."
When Gui Bafang heard this, his eyes fluttered back and forth, revealing a trace of fear.
"But I forgive you, ghost!" The sand-faced man squeezed out a smile, and his voice became very soft, "I will continue to guide your nature. When the fifth and ninth meeting comes, I still need your help!"
"The May Ninth Meeting?" Gui Bafang looked confused, "Isn't that already over?"
"No!" The sand-faced man flashed a trace of bitterness, "I made a small mistake. It's this mistake that made me feel worse than death if I stayed here! Just watch, the May-Ninth meeting is not over yet, when it's real When it arrives, you will all be amazed!"
"As for you, Shadow Demon!" The Sand-faced man showed a thoughtful expression, "You gave up the hidden book that is at your fingertips, I want to hear your thoughts!"
"You are looking for the wrong person!" Shadow Demon answered neatly, "I am not suitable for this job!"
"Shadow Demon!" Sandface's voice was very bitter, "Your heart is not decisive enough! You have done an earth-shattering event, that is, to cut off shallow and boring family affection. You must remember that family affection is just a cage for the weak, and you , is destined to be the strongest among the strong. If I am destroyed, you will inherit my Nie Mie Feng, the master of the demonic way, you should not be a weak man!"
"What?" Gui Bafang was jealous and hated, "You want to pass the Great Mage to this traitor? He is not worthy! He should hand over Nirvana and the Spear of Juggernaut...?"
"To whom? To you?" The man in the iron mask seemed to be smiling, "I want to see, what do you use to hold it, do you use your butt?"
"Heh!" Yan Gui couldn't help laughing, and laughed, "You wicked ghost!"
"Are you insulting me?" Gui Bafang's voice was soft and melodious, "Yan, if you dare to insult me, I will chop you into minced meat!"
"Come on!" Shadow Demon added coldly, "You don't only have one mouth, do you?"
Gui Bafang's mouth was full of blood, and a white light the thickness of a bucket shot out through the air.Phew, a sand net flew up at the same time, and the white light was like cargo, twisting and struggling in the sand net, the light became dimmer and gradually disappeared.
"Magician..." Gui Bafang's face changed slightly.
"Ghosts!" Shouted the Shamian man, "Are you going to use force in front of me?"
The ghost-masked man snorted, and took a look at Shadow Demon: "It's all because of him!"
"It was he who did it, but I didn't do anything!" Shadow Demon spread his hands.
Gui Bafang trembled with anger: "You rascal, I'm going to..."
"Shut up!" the sand-faced man showed a bored look, "Arguing and arguing are all nonsense, and one more thing, I want to hide the book! Whoever it is, bring me that thing!"
"I know where the hidden book is!" Gui Bafang yelled, "It's in the hands of the girl on Nanming Island. Great magician, I will immediately gather an army to attack Nanming Island and capture that girl..."
"Stupid!" the Shadow Demon grumbled.
"What did you say?" Ghost Bafang stared.
"He's right!" The Sha-face man sighed, "The hidden book is not in the hands of that girl, and the owner of the hidden book is someone else..."
"Who?" Gui Bafang looked surprised.
"I think I know someone!" The sand-faced man pondered for a moment, then shouted, "The Formless Demon..."
"Phaseless Demon?" Yan Gui wondered, "He didn't come!"
"No!" Shadow Demon said coldly, "He's coming!"
Yan Gui turned his head and looked around, the sea of sand was vast and empty.
"Where is he?" The woman was very confused.
"Xiaxia..." There was a muffled laugh from under the stone statue, Yan Gui looked down, his face changed slightly... Lu Yao's "corpse" moved, and with a long laugh, the Taoist turned over and jumped up, shaking his head, Shaking off the sand all over his head, he said with a smile: "It's so heavy, I slept so deeply this time!"
"It's you!" Yan Gui said with a strange expression, "You pretending to be a ghost!"
"Miss Yin Ruo!" Lu Yao stammered with a shy expression on his face, "You, do you call me? I'm a boring Lu Yao, such a shy child, Miss Yin Ruo, are you really private? Do you like me in your heart?"
"Go to hell!" Yan Gui squeezed a sand ball and threw it viciously. Lu Yao dodged and put his hands on his hips, laughing loudly.
"Hiss!" Gui Bafang stuck out his tongue again and again, "Phasingless Demon, your skills are getting better and better, you can even fool the ghost!"
"So-so!" Lu Yao put his hands in his pockets and whistled loudly, "If I can fool the Man in the Iron Mask, I'll be even happier..." He put away his smile and glanced at Shadow Demon, "Iron Mask Man, let me lie to you some other day, okay?"
"Whatever you want!" The man in black's tone was still so lazy.
"Phantomless Demon!" The man in black called out again.The Phaseless Demon staggered forward and said with a smile, "Great Mage, did you call me?"
"Go and bring someone here." The Shamian man paused, "Remember, I want to live!"
"It's a trivial matter!" The Formless Demon stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Don't underestimate the enemy! This person is not simple!"
"Don't worry!" The Phaseless Demon giggled, "I'll use the strength to beat a tiger to kill the ants!"
"Hmm!" the man in sand let out a long breath, "I'm starving. Yangui, where is the soul I want?"
"Here!" Yan Gui smiled and kicked Wu Ye, who was already crying bitterly.
"Wu Shi's son?" The Shamian man glanced at Wu Ye and smiled darkly, "Your father and I are old friends. Heh, Wu Shi's soul is spicy and sour, full of jealousy and ambition. Good, good, this is my favorite taste!"
The sand-faced man opened his mouth wide, revealing a dark abyss. A streak of green light shot out of the abyss, swishing around Wu Ye, and slowly dragging him to the top of the abyss.
Wu Ye let out a heart-piercing scream, he struggled hard, but like an insect caught in a spider web, he couldn't get rid of the green shadow no matter what.His body revealed a faint colorful light, which flowed into the abyss one by one. The Taoist's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally only a spasm remained.
A contented sigh sounded from the abyss.绿光消失了，巫夜的身子打了个旋儿，向着远处抛了过去。
肉体推动魂魄，只剩下了一具皮囊。刚一落地，沙里就窜出无数只三尾蝎，螯挥尾动，展开了一场血肉的盛宴。
“我的感觉好多了！”沙面人闭目沉吟。
一声洪亮的唳叫，大漠为之震动，天空刹那一暗，浓重的阴影遮盖了大地。
“唔！”沙面人张开双眼，眸子在黑暗里幽幽发绿，“风巨灵回来了，让我们来看看，它带来了什么好消息？”
银白的迷雾在飘浮，紫树高入云端，淡金色的叶子遮天蔽日，树干上寄生了许多菌朵，白如雪，大如盘，恰似路灯高挂，发出清冷的银辉。
树上的藤萝挂满了碗大的奇花，花瓣开合不定，花蕊好似蠕动的虫子，突然一阵风来，呼啦，满藤的花朵尽数蹿起，如鸟似蝶，在林子里翩翩飞舞。
方非叫这飞花吓了一跳，倒退中踩到了一个活物。本以为踩中了毒蛇，少年慌忙跳开，低头一看，却是一丛低矮的灌木，灌木收拢枝叶，慢吞吞地缩回泥里。
前方的笑声越来越小，忽又变成幽幽的哭泣。哭了一会儿又停了下来，随风送来窃窃私语，似有多人聚会，正在密商某事。方非凝神去听，一个字也听不清楚。
穿过一条密径，前方的空地上，出现了一棵苍碧的大树，树高不过十米，树身却有十人合抱，比起参天的紫树，它看上去又矮又粗，活是一个佝偻的侏儒。矮树的上方，紫树枝丫交错，结成了一座高大的树厅，穹顶上白菌繁密，冷光交织，水银似的流淌下来。
低语声分明来自矮树。方非心中加快，走到矮树下面，鼓足勇气大叫一声，“有人吗？”
树上沉寂一下，枝叶刷地分开，钻出来一张青郁郁的人脸，眼珠乱动，裂开一张大嘴，发出一阵凄厉的狂笑。
方非吃了一惊，险些儿掉头跑掉，他好容易稳住心神，想要招呼那人，可是目光向下，心子又被掐了一把。
这是一张什么脸啊？颈项以下空无一物，绿发纠缠一起，挂在树梢枝头。
这不是人，这是一颗人头！
人头还在狂笑，落进方非耳中，无异于肥遗的怒吼。更离奇的还在后面，枝丫间人语不断，一眨眼的工夫，接二连三地钻出来十多颗人头，或哭或笑，或沉默，或尖叫，或者欢天喜地，或者愁眉苦脸，十人十面，各不相同。
方非大叫一声，转身就跑，冷不妨小腿一紧，被什么东西死死缠住。他摔了一跤，回头看去，缠腿的是一条树根。他吃了一惊，还没来得及挣扎，粗大的根须纷纷拨起，势如章鱼解手，胡乱缠绕过来。
少年动弹不得，呼吸十分艰难，头顶笑声大作，呼啦啦响成一片，有狂笑，有窃笑，有得意的笑，有恶毒的笑，千奇百怪，让他更加恐惧。
“我要死了吗？”他惦念闪过，面前树根一动，似有什么就近窥视。他凝神一看，几乎叫出声来——树根的节瘤处乌珠转动，居然长了一只眼睛。
眼珠死死地盯着他，大如鸡蛋，青黑发亮，方非毛骨悚然，忽然想起魅剑还在手中，当即手起剑落，狠狠插入了那只怪眼。
乌珠迸裂，汁液溅了他一头一脸，液体并不腥秽，还有一股草木的清香。
来不及拔剑，头顶尖声大作，仿佛数百人齐声高呼。紧跟着，矮树浑身乱颤，树根纷纷缩回。方非来不及收手，魅剑也被树根带走，他这时一心想着逃命，身上束缚一松，立马跳起来狂奔。
他一面奔跑，一面胡思乱想——怪树一定追了上来，它有几千条树根当腿，又有几百颗人头指路，一旦追赶起来，那又该是多么恐怖。
身边树影闪过，眼前飞花翩翩，天幸白菌无处不在，银光遍洒林中，道路始终可见。方非跑得太急，肺也快要炸天了，只好停了下来，扶着一棵紫树大口喘气。
想象中的恶树并没有追来，他稍稍宽心，转眼一看，心中不觉奇怪——这样大的林子，怎么只有植物，没有动物，就连虫子也没有一只。扶树的右手微微湿热，他掉头看去，手背上沾了一点白沫。他凑近一闻，腥气扑鼻，方非寒毛直竖，一抬头，惊见树干上方，静悄悄的趴了一个怪物。
这东西像龙无角，似鳄鱼又皮肤光滑，肤色银灰发亮，眼睛就像两块火炭，透着十足的凶残。
啪嗒，怪物涎水下滴，方非闪电缩手，仓皇向后倒退。
托，怪物飞身跃下，落在少年身后，断了他的退路。方非慌忙转身，背靠紫树。怪物默不作声，一对火眼打量少年，神色有些困惑，四只鹰爪轮番挠地。
方非的呼吸一阵艰难，这时银光闪动，他下意识一低头，啪，怪物的长尾扫中了紫树的树干，树上多了一条裂口，流出血红的汁液。
方非闪过尾击，脚步一乱，绊在了树根上面。落叶中黑影闪动，他来不及起身，就地一滚，怪物扑了个空，一口咬中树根，狠狠甩头，撕下来一大块树皮。
怪物吐出树皮，掉头望来，喉咙里发出咕噜噜的响声。方非连滚带爬，蹿往大树背后。怪物拦在少年前面，挥起前爪，劈脸就抓。方非一闪身，利爪贴着左肩落下，抓断了一条树根，木屑乱飞，紫色的树液溅了他一身。
生死关头，方非应变神速，连他自己也觉吃惊。怪物三度失手，恼怒起来，冲他一声吼叫，如狮如虎，震得树木簌簌发抖。
方非连滚带爬，绕着紫树逃命，树根隆起，形如一道道屏障，叫那怪物放不开手脚。双方正反转了两个圈子，一声吼叫，怪物跳上了树干，好似一只大大的壁虎。它一旦盘踞了高处，绕树的法儿立马失灵，方非眼见长尾袭来，慌忙向后一仰，贴地滚了出去。这一滚远离了紫树，滚入了一块空地，来不及爬起，怪物已经跳下树来，火眼圆睁，一步步地逼近。
方非心生绝望，如非本能支撑，几乎就要昏厥。
怪物前爪按地，纵身跳了起来，方非眼前一黑，心里生出无比的绝望，这时银光一闪，似有一道冷电，划破了扑来的黑影。
怪物失声吼叫，愤怒中夹杂了一丝痛楚，它从方非的头上飞过，砰地一下摔在了地上。
方非死里逃生，只觉难以置信。怪物翻身爬起，身上沾满了泥土，它正眼不瞧方非，一双火目投向别处。
那儿站了一个小人，身高不足一米，绿眼睛，尖耳朵，皮肤苍白无毛，绿头发长可委地，上身赤裸裸的，下身用五色藤编织了一副短甲。
小人挽了一口细长的银剑，有柄无锷，剑身上布满了斑斑的铁锈。
怪物的下颌鲜血淋漓，盯着小人两眼出火。它长尾一扬，作势扫出，方非忍不住叫声“当心”。
话才出口，小人失去了踪影。紧跟着，怪物发出一串咆哮，身子着了魔似的原地打转。方非心中好奇，仔细看去，小人好似一片羽毛，黏在长尾的末端，任由怪物大力摆尾，始终不能将他甩掉。
怪物转了两圈，尾巴一横，划了一道圆弧，嗖地直奔头部。它怪嘴大张，候在那儿，心中自以为得逞，眼里透出一丝狡狯。冷不妨小人举起银剑，顺势向前一送，血光迸溅，剑尖直入怪物的左眼。
嚎叫声惊天动地，怪物四爪刨地，不住翻滚。小人却以跳下尾巴，睁圆一双碧眼，冷冷站在一边。
怪物翻滚一阵，挣扎着爬了起来，它缩头缩脑，冲着小人摇尾乞怜，小人一挥短剑，发出叮咚响声。怪物呜咽两下，独眼里的火光淡去，化为了一片柔和的水蓝。它战战兢兢地退进密林，经过方非身边，也不敢多瞧一眼。
目送怪物离去，方非满心感激，爬起身来，冲着小人说：“谢谢……”
小人皱起眉头，开口发出一串响声：“阿兰罗，泠泠，呼儿呼加冷丁……”声音婉转动听，好似泉响风吟。
方非听得一头雾水：“你好，我叫方非……”那人又叮叮咚咚地说了两句。
双方各说各话，好比鸡同鸭讲。小人伸手挠头，脸色十分焦躁。这时空中传来一声洪亮的鸟叫，一只彩羽大鸟从天落下，高约两米，身后拖了一条长大绚烂的翎尾。
鸟背上骑着一个小人，身背亮银小弓，手挽金色长藤，金藤的一端系在大鸟的脖子上。
背弓人看见方非，双目一亮，跳下鸟背，冲着持剑小人高叫：“依依，哈多泠，金丝冬英……”一面说，一面掏出了一个亮晶晶的东西。
方非一看，正是失落的魅剑，他心中高兴，上前说：“这是我的东西。”把手一摊，想要讨回失物。
两个小人掉头望他，持剑的跳了起来，扣住了方非的手腕，他个小身轻，气力却很惊人，一拧一甩，少年扑通摔在地上。
方非痛得哼了一声，还没还过神来，喉咙刺痛，一把生锈的银剑抵在了他的喉头下方。
抬眼望去，小人碧眼阴沉，苍白的面孔上透出一股杀气。
“你……”方非刚一出声，剑尖又深了半分，他一口气憋在嘴里，再也吐不出来。
背弓小人大声说：“努亚，太各布，芒阳千朝幽丝！”
持剑者迟疑了一下，想想说：“英冷！”背弓者取出一团金色的细藤，把方非捆绑起来，绑完双手，又绑双腿，捆完以后，持剑者纵身跳开。
方非得了机会，大声说：“你们做什么？我什么也没……”持剑者一脚踹中他的腰眼。方非痛得一阵痉挛，心中又愤怒，又糊涂：“这些人疯了吗？一会儿救我，一会儿又抓我，他们想干什么？为了隐书吗？奇怪，他们怎么知道隐书在我身上……”
持剑者婉转发啸，跟着拍翅声响，树冠里又钻出来一只彩羽大鸟。两只鸟儿照面，立刻举起翅膀、扬起尾巴，长颈相互交缠，就地跳起了圆舞。
小人连声喝叱，分开大鸟，将方非绑在鸟腿上，跟着跳上鸟背，双双飞了起来。
方非挂在两只大鸟中间，身子一会儿蜷缩，一会儿绷直。大鸟越飞越高，天风过耳，呼呼有声，身边树影闪动，忽来一朵飞花，凑巧盖在脸上。花蕊一阵蠕动，花粉钻进了鼻孔，少年打了一个老大的喷嚏，飞花被气流冲开，花瓣一上一下，又向远处飞去。
身子一沉，大鸟开始下降，跟着后背触地，摔进了一片白色的草丛。持剑者解开长藤，踢了方非一脚，大喝一声：“切英！”
方非起身张望，四面地势开阔，环绕高大的白树，金黄灿烂的树冠结成了广大的圆顶。白树的枝丫上，挂了无数巨大的鸟卵，色彩斑斓，成双成对，其中连着藤萝，长长的藤梯一直下垂到地面。
持剑者一声长啸，林子里喧闹起来。巨卵上圆门洞开，钻出来许多绿茸茸的脑袋。
方非恍然大悟：“巨卵”不是别的，正是小人的巢窠！
小人大呼小叫，顺着藤蔓滑落，将他团团围住。小手四面伸来，又拉又扯，方非手足冰凉，呆呆的不敢乱动。非洲的丛林里有一种俾格米人，号称“袖珍人类”，可是比起这些小人，只怕也是伟岸的巨人。
一想到俾格米人，方非打了个寒战。红尘的森林里藏着食人部落，不知震旦里是否也是一样？这些小人穷凶极恶，难保不会茹毛饮血，他们从怪物爪下救出自己，恐怕也不是出于好心，而是为了抢夺食物——
“阿兰罗，达蒙里，吉丝泠泠忒英……”持剑的小人口气激愤，“依丝塔！英拉泠！”
这话落入人群，小人像是炸了锅，无论男女老幼，一窝蜂冲了上来，对准方非拳打脚踢。
少年连受重击，摔倒在地。他就地翻滚，双手抱头，身子蜷缩起来，尽力护住要害。小人们围上来继续踢打撕扯。看起来，红尘的蛮子文明得多，他们至少用到了炖锅，至于这些小东西，根本打算活吃了他。
“斯华！”一个声音传来，低沉悦耳，透着十足的威严。
拳脚应声停下，小人四面散开。方非的身子好似分了家，处处都有撕裂的痛楚。他松开手脚，眯眼望去，一片金光扑入眼帘，光华中走来一个小人，肤色金黄，长发银白，手拄红木拐杖，杖头上挂了几颗果实，浑圆幽蓝，闪动着神秘的光泽。
小人颤巍巍走到近前，他的年事已高，皱纹满面，目光老练深沉，落在方非的身上。“纳维拉……”持剑者上前说话，金色小人摇了摇头，从杖上摘下一颗幽蓝色的果实，送到了方非的嘴边。
人群一阵躁动，方非也是一怔，可见金色小人神气和蔼，这果子没准儿可以治伤。他的身上疼痛极了，不由张开嘴巴，将果子吞了下去。
咬破果皮，浆液淡而无味，口舌却似遭了电击，喉咙以上完全麻痹，双耳嗡嗡乱响，活是进驻了一窝马蜂。方非心知上了当，想要张口大骂，可又发不出声音，麻痹感密如一张丝网，将他的身子紧紧捆住，方非呼吸艰难，不由得掐住脖子，浑身缩成一团。
耳边的噪声越来越响，像是收音机调频不准，忽长忽短，尖锐刺耳。方非难受极了，翻滚了一阵，双耳嗡的一下，噪音消失，耳边传来了一个声音：“孩子，你听得见吗？”
方非吓了一跳，抬头看去，说话的正是金色小人，他的嘴角带笑，碧眼炯炯有神。
“听，听得见……”麻痹感说去就去，方非忍不住坐了起来。
“阿维兰！”持剑小人的叫声，方非也听得一清二楚，“你为什么给他吃'能言果'？”
“阿含！”金肤小人看他一眼，“太阳还在天上疾驰，星星也可以发光吗？金犼说话的时候，巡逻者也能插嘴吗？”持剑者哼了一声，低头退了下去。
“我是金犼阿维兰！欢迎来到山都的巢城！”金肤小人的声音如歌如吟，“孩子，告诉我，你是谁？从哪里来？”
方非满心迷惑，答非所问：“我、我怎么听得到你说话？”
“你吃了能言果！果子在你的心里发了芽，教你从此明白了山都的话！”
“山都？”方非问，“你的名字？”
“不！”阿维兰面露笑容，“这是我们的名字！”方非游目望去，四周头颅耸动，站了几千个小人。
“你们不是人类？”方非忍不住问。
“人类？”阿维兰白眉一扬，“啊，我听说过那些生灵！他们住在红尘，是无鳃的鱼，失翼的鸟，他们像狐狸一般诡计多端，跟犀牛似的哞哞乱叫，他们对待同类狠如虎狼，又似蜜蜂一样终年奔忙，付出的多，得到的少，他们的野心比天空还大，归宿却比床铺还小，他们在欲望的迷雾中游荡，很少看得见真正的阳光！”
方非听得发呆，老山都把人类说得一无是处，更叫人难过的是，方非想来想去，居然想不出词儿来反驳他。
“你是人类？”阿维兰眯起眼睛，深碧的眸子幽幽放光，“或者说是裸虫？”
“是的，是的！”阿维兰低下头去，仿佛自言自语，“恐怖的大蛇陨灭以后，支离邪和我的祖先定下了誓约。这一片森林归山都所有，我们世代定居在此。在森林的边界，支离邪留下了不朽的符篆，震旦里所有的生灵，没有金犼的准许，全都不能进入森林。不过，裸虫不是来自震旦——”金犼抬起头来，高叫一声，“森林的边界，对裸虫无用！”山都哗然一片。
“他伤害了人头树！”阿含大声叫嚷，叫声未落，山都中响起愤怒的呜呜声。
“是吗？”阿维兰深深地看着方非，“你伤害了人头树？”
“人头树？”方非大惑不解。
“阿维兰！”背弓的山都奉上亮晶晶的短剑，“我听到了人头树的呼救声，赶到了紫厅，在树根上发现了这个！”
阿维兰接过魅剑，沉吟说：“阿落，你知道这是什么吗？”
送剑的山都面露羞愧，低头说：“比起阿维兰的博识，我就像一朵无知的舞兰，在风中漫无目的，从来不知道落向何方！”
“我们隐藏得太久了，几乎忘记了昔日的死敌！”阿维兰的神色有些忧伤，“阿落，这是灵沼怪物的武器，远古的时候，曾有无数的山都死于剑下。”
呜呜声更响，方非张皇四顾，一阵杀气四面涌来。阿维兰忽地掉头，目光十分严厉：“裸虫，告诉我，这口魅剑是怎么回事？”
“一只魑魅留下来的。”方非犹豫了一下，“你们说的人头树，是不是挂了许多人头的矮树？”
“是的！”阿维兰肃然起敬，“那是森林的神物，我们可以为他血战而死！裸虫，我给你辩白的机会，你的辩辞须如流水一样没有破绽。你说的每一个字，都会决定你的生死！”
方非的心跳又快又沉，他想了想，努力整理思绪，过了一会儿才说：“我遇上了一只鹏！”
山都中起了一片惊呼，阿维兰也很诧
