Chapter 36 Chapter 35: The Demon

The Faxiang standing in front chanted a Buddha's name in a low voice. After a while, a round bead shining with solemn golden light was sacrificed from his hand. The golden light shines brightly, with this bead as the center, the golden light rushes in all directions like a tide, Zhang Xiaofan stood at the same place, almost hallucinating a "hoo" whistling in his ears, the golden light circle passed by his side. Everyone's faces were reflected in a faint golden color, and at the same time, they felt relieved for a while, even if they were a little nervous, they calmed down instantly.The huge space was as bright as day in a blink of an eye. If it weren't for the hideous strange rocks and bats wriggling, it would almost make people think that they had arrived at a Buddhist paradise.

Li Xun, who always had his eyes above the top, was a little surprised at this moment, standing aside and said in surprise: "Samsara Pearl!" Fa Xiang glanced at him and said, "Senior brother Li has good eyesight." However, Li Xun seemed to be a little more polite to Faxiang in his speech, saying: "Don't dare, brother Faxiang, you are the one with profound morals and deeds." At this time, Zhang Xiaofan, using the light of the "Reincarnation Bead", could already see clearly that his feet had indeed stepped on a clean hard ground, and when he looked up, he saw those black bats disappeared on the top of the rocky cave for some reason. But the "rustling" sound was clearly still in my ears.

He looked carefully again, only to find that at the top of the cave behind him, countless black bats were still gathered on the top of the cave, but just above the hard ground where several of them stepped on, there was a line of rocks on the top of the cave. The thin red line across the cave roof looks like veins growing in the rock. With the thin red line as the boundary, countless bats crowded outside, none of them crossed the red line, and there was no smelly bat feces outside just a few feet away. Fa Xiang looked around and said in a deep voice, "There are many weird things here, everyone should be careful."

Everyone didn't know how, but they finally stepped on a clean place. After checking that there was nothing unusual around them, the first action of most people was to straighten their clothes.Standing next to Zhang Xiaofan, Zeng Shushu took off his shoes, poured out the disgusting stuff inside, and whispered to Zhang Xiaofan: "For the first time in my life, I know that walking on a clean road is so comfortable!" Zhang Xiaofan smiled, cleaned up quickly, and felt more comfortable.After a while, Qi Hao saw that everyone was almost recovered, so he said: "Let's go." He said and walked to the depths of the cave first.

Everyone followed, and soon, following their footsteps, they were plunged into endless darkness behind them. And in front, it seemed as dark as a monster, with open arms and grinning, welcoming their arrival. A little light in the darkness, moving forward slowly. I don’t know how far I’ve walked in this way. This ancient and deep cave seems to be endless. Although it has always been very spacious, it is twists and turns. Don't know the direction. The rustling of the bats at the entrance of the cave has long been inaudible. In this darkness, there is no other sound except the footsteps of the people. Zhang Xiaofan feels that the surrounding humidity is getting heavier and heavier, and he doesn't know how deep he has penetrated into the ground. up.

The "Reincarnation Bead" that Faxiang raised still exuded golden Buddha light, shining on everyone, and Qi Hao, who was at the front, also raised the Liuhe mirror just in case.The two treasures complemented each other, and they walked like this for a while, Qi Hao, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and said to the back: "Slow down." Everyone stopped immediately. There was silence all around, no sound at all. The light of "Samsara Bead" and "Liuhe Mirror" gradually lit up. Before everyone's eyes, in the cave in front of them, two forked roads suddenly opened up. They were deep and dark, and they didn't know where they were leading. generally.And in the middle of the road, which is also the center of the two forked roads, stands a huge stone tablet as high as six people, with four big blood-red characters engraved on it:

The way of heaven is with me! Fenxianggu Li Xun snorted, and said angrily: "The demon cult monster dares to pretend to be the way of heaven!" But Faxiang frowned, looked at the stele a few more times, and said, "When I came here, I heard my teacher Puhong say that there was indeed such a stele in this cave eight hundred years ago, but at that time It has been cut open by my righteous immortal with a great supernatural power, see you today, why is it intact?" At this time, Fenxiang Gu Yanhong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Look at the four corners of the stele, but there is a broken mark?"

Her voice was soft and melodious, which made people's hearts flutter, and it was the first time for everyone in Qing Yunmen to hear Yan Hong speak, and they were slightly surprised.Everyone stepped up to take a closer look, and they saw a tiny crack in that place, slanting upwards, dividing the entire stele into two halves. The stone texture at the crack is dark red, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see it. Qi Hao nodded, and said to Yan Hong: "Junior Sister Yan is very careful." Yan Hong smiled slightly, then lowered her head again, and stopped talking. Qihao took another look at the stele, turned around and said to the crowd: "Since this stele has been repaired, it can be seen that most of the demon cultists are here, doing some shady things. This time we are in the right place."

Faxiang continued: "Senior brother Qi is right. The cave is full of dangers, and there is a problem in front of us. These two forked roads, which one should we take?" Qi Hao pondered for a while, and said: "Brother Faxiang, you just said that Lingshi Puhong, the divine monk, mentioned this place to you, so did the old man mention this fork in the road?" Faxiang nodded, and said: "The master did say it, but he also learned from the ancestors of the previous generation that it is said that during the war between righteousness and demons, there were monster lairs behind these two forks. As for the current situation, he also It's not very clear."

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Qi Hao looked at the other three people in our sect, and said to Fa Jingren humanely: "Since that's the case, I think it's better to divide the troops into two groups, and the four of us from Qing Yun Sect will look at the left side of the road. Senior brother and Fenxianggu go to the right side to check the road, if you encounter a monster from the Demon Cult, how about giving a long whistle to warn you?" Fa Xiang is silent, although he knows that such a separation is not a good thing, but the cave is deep, and he doesn't know how far the two forked roads are. Elites of all factions may not be unable to protect themselves.At that moment, he turned his head to look at Li Xun and Yan Hong in Fenxianggu, seeing that the two of them had no objection, he said: "Then follow what Senior Brother Qi said, everyone must be careful."

As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhang Xiaofan again. Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved, he felt that this brother Faxiang really looked at him differently, but he still smiled back. Qihao nodded, clasped his fists at Fa Peng, and led Zhang Xiaofan and the other three into the left fork road. After walking a few steps, the light behind him turned around and gradually disappeared. It seems that Fa Peng also entered Take the fork in the road on the right. Qi Hao walked in the front, raised the Liuhe mirror to the top of his head, and stimulated the immortal power, the Liuhe mirror cast a light yellow halo, enveloping the four of them. This fork in the road is much narrower than the cave we walked all the way just now, and at the same time, the rocks on both sides are abrupt and sharp, Zhang Xiaofan almost got killed if he was not careful.The only thing that is the same is the eternal darkness around, here, it seems that there has never been a ray of light. None of the four members of the Qingyun Sect were in the mood to speak, especially Qi Hao, who was walking in the front, was all the more focused on guarding against unknown dangers ahead. This walk took a long time, so Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but doubt in his heart, even if he met a Demon Cult demon here and let out a long cry, it's still a question of whether Brother Faxiang would hear it. At this moment, a sudden change occurred. In the aisle where everyone was walking, in the surroundings that seemed to be eternally dark and peaceful, a huge ghost cry of "wuwu" suddenly sounded, which was deafening and frightening. The four of them were taken aback, Qi Hao was about to speak out to remind him, but his body was shaken, and he saw various lights lit up from the endless darkness in all directions, rushing towards the four people in the aisle at the same time, hitting the circle of Liuhe mirror. This power is so great that even the Liuhe mirror swayed for a while, and Qi Hao's body shook violently, he couldn't speak anymore, he quickly calmed down and tried his best to protect him. The cries of ghosts became louder and louder, until one could feel dizzy, Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan protected Qihao in the center, only to see countless rays of light being bounced back by the six-fold mirror, turning a corner in the air, unexpectedly it was another Turning back fiercely and charging again, in the darkness, there are unexpectedly many enemies hiding, and in the air, there are also countless magic weapons flying. Qi Hao's complexion was pale, and he grasped the formula with both hands. Although under the siege of magic weapons from the outside world, the Liuhe Mirror gradually stabilized, and the aperture gradually increased. Just when everyone in Qingyun Sect was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly noticed the hard ground under his feet It even moved. With a thought in his mind, before he could react, he heard Zeng Shushu shout urgently: "Be careful, there are..." Before finishing speaking, there was a loud noise that overwhelmed the roaring sky. In an instant, everyone felt that the mountains were shaking and the ground was shaking, and a force rushed out from their feet, blowing the ground to pieces. Flying things, the Liuhe mirror can protect the surroundings, but it can't protect the feet, this sudden difficulty is inside, the light immediately scattered, and fell back on the flying figure of Qi Hao. Countless rays of light roared past in the darkness, as if laughing wildly triumphantly, they rushed towards the four people who were separated. Zhang Xiaofan stood forward, was pushed from his feet by that force, he couldn't help but fly forward, but after all he had practiced in Qingyun Sect for many years, he was startled and not confused, he put the fire stick in his hand to his chest , The familiar cold feeling swims all over the body. The "burning fire stick" emitted a faint blue light in mid-air, facing several rays of light that were chasing closely behind. A moment later, one of the dark red rays of light rushed to the front first, Zhang Xiaofan immediately smelled a bloody smell, almost wanted to vomit, he quickly held his breath, and drove the fire stick, the blue light rose up, resisting the dark red light, Under the light of the fire stick, for some reason, the dark red light suddenly dimmed a lot. From an unknown place in the darkness, there was a low voice of surprise suddenly. At this moment, two other rays of light, one yellow and one gray, rushed over and hit the fire stick together.Zhang Xiaofan used the light to see clearly, the dark red light just now is a dark red fork with thick bloodstains on it, while the yellow light is a three-foot long sword, the gray light is very strange, It is a huge unknown beast fang! Zhang Xiaofan's body was still in the air, he was already steady, but he was hit by these three magic weapons, although he was resisted by the "burning stick" in the air, the huge force pushed his whole body backwards, and he couldn't control it any more. Unable to stop, he hit the stone wall next to him hard, sinking half a person into it, and stone chips flew horizontally. Stars shot out before Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, his back hurt deeply, but he knew it was a matter of life and death, he gritted his teeth desperately to hold back the pain, and fell to the ground, seeing the three life-threatening objects turning in the air, they rushed down viciously again . In the darkness, who knows where are those who control the magic weapon? Zhang Xiaofan clumsy left and right, clenched the formula and let out a roar, the fire stick went up against the air, collided with the yellow flying sword beast fangs charging in mid-air, with a loud noise, each of them was shaken away, and then rushed forward to the ground When he opened it, another small dark red fork that was chasing after him couldn't catch up, and hit the stone wall behind the place where he was standing with a bang, the broken stones flew around, and actually punched a big hole in the stone wall. At this time, the gray fangs were recovering again, and they fell on the head, the gleaming fangs were particularly eye-catching in the dark, seeing its momentum, Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to know the consequences of this weird magic weapon hitting him. Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth tightly, drew his hands down in the air, moved the fire stick at will, a blue light flashed, appeared on the top of his head and bumped into the fang, in mid-air, he heard a muffled sound all over his body, and above the fang suddenly appeared There was a crack. In the distance, there was a cry of shock, full of regret and consternation. It's just that Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to recollect this little pitiful joy, the yellow flying sword rushed to the front again in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to react, his forehead was sweating, he yelled in emergency, his hands trembled, his whole body floated up and melted into the burning fire In the stick Xuanqing light. The yellow flying sword didn't leave any room, turned a corner in mid-air, and rushed up from the bottom of his feet, with fangs on top and flying sword below, Zhang Xiaofan's whole body trembled slightly, he didn't have time to think about it, he shrank his body, and chanted Curse, the fire stick radiates blue light, enveloping him all around. "Boom", two loud bangs almost at the same time resounded above Zhang Xiaofan's head and under his feet respectively, the enemy's two magic weapons rushed back.The fire stick trembled in the air, Zhang Xiaofan gasped for breath, his heart almost stopped beating at that moment, during that moment of hallucination, he almost subconsciously thought that he saw the fire stick shattered into pieces. But fortunately, although the firestick made of unknown material is ugly, it is extremely tough and intact, but the fangs of the flying sword, the light is dim, and most of them are damaged.But having said that, after the firestick received such a heavy blow, the blue light that rose up to protect Zhang Xiaofan also dispersed. Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed, he was about to recall the fire stick, suddenly he felt a severe pain in his shoulder, his body was weak, his mind went blank.Lowering his head, he only saw a small dark red fork suddenly protruding from the chest and shoulders, piercing out, and bright red blood gushing out endlessly. It was the little dark red fork just now, taking advantage of Zhang Xiaofan's slackness, sneak attack and severely injured him. Zhang Xiaofan saw that on the little fork, the originally dark red color seemed to light up at this moment, as if awakened by the smell of blood.He groaned softly, and wanted to stretch out his hand to pull the fork away, but suddenly, as the bloody traces on the dark red fork deepened, a shadow in the darkness seemed to emerge from the fork, and immediately followed Clinging to Zhang Xiaofan's back. The owner of the dark red fork seemed to be parasitic on this magic weapon. Zhang Xiaofan only felt dizzy, unable to shake off the demon behind him.In addition to the pain, the wound also felt a numb and itchy feeling at the moment, and I'm afraid there was a strong poison on it.He looked out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't see the face of the demon behind him, he only saw his hands clutched tightly on his shoulders, which were dry and filthy, with an unbearable stench. In the distance, there was a burst of wild laughter, and from behind, there was also a gloomy voice: "Brats of Qingyunmen, this is your own death, obediently give me your blood!" Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to react to what he said, so he understood from his movements, and saw that the demon in the shadow opened his mouth, bit Zhang Xiaofan's left neck, sucking blood, and at the same time, the The dark red fork was even brighter, as if drinking blood. Zhang Xiaofan was terrified, but he felt that the blood in his whole body was going to his throat, his body felt light, and all the strength in his whole body was slowly dissipating, even he couldn't support the fire stick in mid-air, and fell down. In this situation, in a trance, he suddenly seemed to have returned to the past, in that deep valley. In that nightmare! The fire stick fell from the top of his head, and when it landed in front of him, it emitted a faint blue light, as if calling for something.As soon as Zhang Xiaofan grabbed it, he immediately felt the icy coldness on the fire stick surging, like fury. The blood on his body kept flowing out and was sucked away by the monster, Zhang Xiaofan could not hear any sound from the outside world at this moment, he just mustered up the last bit of strength in his body, like a fight between trapped beasts, he threw the burning fire stick that was shining blue light hard towards him The demon behind him stepped in. The fire stick was blunt and had no sharp edge, but at this moment it regarded the flesh and blood as tofu, and inserted it like a broken bamboo. The demon behind him trembled, stopped sucking blood, seemed unbelievable, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan also saw him at the same time. In the dark, like the low sneer of the Nine Nether monsters, or someone's heartbeat in the dark, Zhang Xiaofan held the hand of the fire stick, and felt waves of heartbeats, like the flow of blood, and like the cheers of a monster ! The light on the dark red fork quickly dimmed, and endless darkness rushed over from behind. At the moment when the darkness engulfed Zhang Xiaofan and the monster, Zhang Xiaofan saw a scene that he would never forget in his life under his semi-conscious mind. The wrinkled but still plump face of the monster shriveled up in an instant, and the flesh and blood turned into dry skin, attached to the bones. The next moment, darkness surrounded him. What was lost was regained, and an endless stream of power came from the burning stick and melted into his body. Zhang Xiaofan regained consciousness, but was stunned on the spot, the injury on his shoulder was still painful, but the gushing blood had been stopped by the unknown force, but for this young man, he hadn't noticed it at this moment.In his mind, there was only one thought: what did I do?what did I do?
