Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Parasitic

The moonlight in July and a half is bright and clear, and it sprinkles down like mercury, covering the bamboo forest abode. Funan clenched the silver-white sword in his hand, only felt that the sword was jumping slightly, making a low-pitched sound—but Xie was always calm, so restless tonight, did it imply that he had encountered a very powerful demon heretic? The baby was sitting on Shen Che's back, its slender fingers were firmly clasped on the back of her neck, the ends of the fingers had already sunk into the flesh and blood - it actually only had one hand and half a face. In the dark night, the baby's eyes were shining brightly, looking at him without blinking.

But under its control, Shen Che's eyes were empty and blank. Funan gasped silently—that thing had only one eye, and half of its face had been destroyed.But what shocked him the most was the golden moon mark of the Moon Worshiper on the remaining skin on its left cheek! "Who are you?" Funan was moved, and scolded the possessed baby, "Are you from Jiaozhongren?" "Hee..." The small broken body sat on Shen Che's back, raised his head and smiled at him, and clasped his fingers tightly. Under one grasp, as if an invisible lead was being pulled, Shen Che's hand suddenly lifted up, and the bone sword pointed straight at it!

"If you don't become a priest, it's useless to keep you." Shen Che said a word, but his eyes were blank.Her movements were as fast as a ghost, and she didn't even need to gather any momentum. In an instant, she swept flatly from the eaves to the spinosa tree, and stabbed with her sword! "Ding", but the evil sword jumped up, sealed the bone sword, Funan's toes touched the treetops, and retreated quickly. The two swords struck each other, making a strange noise. At that moment, Funan only felt that the evil spirit was coming, and he could hardly breathe.He quickly collected his mind, stopped looking at the baby's one-eyed eye, and concentrated on dealing with every sword that Shen Che sent out.However, no matter how he moves around, his footprints are still within the range of two spinosa trees, and his toes are pointing at the branches and leaves.

——In the legend of the Moon Worship Sect, the spinosa tree is a holy tree that can ward off evil and poison. Therefore, he planted two spinosa trees in front of the court, and the manjushahua in the tomb would stay away. On the night of the July Half Ghost Festival, facing such a strange opponent, he had already lost his "time", and he had to take advantage of this advantage.The Sword of White Bone never leaves the vital point, Funan only felt that if he was too slow for a moment, he would be swallowed by that evil spirit. It seems that tonight, he has no choice but to use his sword!

His toes touched the treetops, dodging every sword, and his figure gradually changed from blindly retreating to being able to do his job with ease. When the bone sword stabbed, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed from his hand! The sword energy was breathed out for several feet, fierce and compelling. The Sword of Bone was caught off guard, and was bounced back, Shen Che's tiger's mouth was split open, and blood flowed out.However, she didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and she still turned the tip of the sword expressionlessly, rushing to attack every step of the way, as fast as a ghost.

Funan originally planned to let go of the sword in her hand, but Shen Che was not afraid of the pain and was slightly surprised. With a flash of thought, I immediately understood that the key was to carry the baby girl on the back—but the baby curled up behind Shen Che, buried its head in the back of the host's neck, and did not expose the whole body at all, as if there was a natural barrier. In just one breath, Funan was already forced to change directions three times. Every time he backed away from a branch of spinosa alder, the sword of bones would cut down mercilessly, cutting down the place where he could stay step by step-tonight is July and a half, the cathode and yang in the sky and the earth are decaying, and countless ghosts are permeated. Out of the earth, it fills the heaven and the earth.At this moment, the spinosa tree isolated the yin energy from the earth, so he can still control the situation for the time being. If this weird baby falls back to the ground and quickly absorbs the yin energy from the ground, it will become extremely terrifying!

Therefore, he tried his best to attack without hesitation, just to pin it down on the spinosa tree. However, although he is fast, the range of treetops is limited after all.Following the pursuit like maggots attached to bones by the sword of bones, the two lush spinosa trees fell to pieces in an instant, exposing their incomplete trunks, and all the branches were cut off like a lingering delay. With a soft chirp, an exquisite bird's nest overturned and fell from the branch. "Ga——!" Seeing his nest falling from a high place to the ground, torn apart, Yaya suddenly let out a scream of horror and anger, and rushed up desperately, heading straight for the baby's one-eyed baby. Peck hard.

Apparently it didn't expect the flat-haired animal to show its power suddenly, the baby had a horrified expression on his face, and he blocked it with his sword in a hurry.However, it has only been a day since he possessed Shen Che, so it is obvious that he is not yet proficient in manipulation.Using other people's hands like this, after all, it is far from being able to do whatever you want, and the offensive instantly revealed its flaws. "Go!" In an instant, Funan pointed at the same point, and the long sword flew out of his hand, turning into a white rainbow and shooting out, turning half a circle in mid-air, avoiding Shen Che, and going straight to the back of the baby behind him!

There was a light "heck", the white light flew back, circled around the fingers and went out. Funan put his feet on the last spinulus tree, and his body shook slightly the moment he withdrew his sword, as if he had endured a counterattack with considerable force.However, Shen Che's figure finally stagnated, his arms were dislocated by the shock, the bone sword drooped weakly, and a gap appeared on the tip of the sword. "Sword control?" The baby's body trembled, and he spit out a sentence, "You... are under the Baidi sect of Chensha Valley?" The silver sword flew back in mid-air and sank into his fingers. Funan forcibly blocked the opponent's attack, his face was also pale, he let out a breath after a while, nodded slightly, and murmured softly: "Hai Tianlong Zhanxuexuanhuang..."

Before he could say a word, the baby's expression changed drastically, and he didn't dare to entangle him any more, and jumped to the ground and left in an instant. This life was finally saved... Seeing the figure of the girl in white disappear into the fiery red manjusawa bushes, Funan felt chills all over his body, and he didn't even have the strength to get down from the tree——that blow just now , It really exhausted all his strength. Fortunately, with that sword and the half-sentence formula, the evil spirit was frightened away. Otherwise, with his half-baked sword control skills, he is no match for her at all.

——After all, he just passed by Shensha Valley occasionally and learned a few tricks.If the fight continues, he will be killed within about twenty moves, right? Three years ago, because he witnessed Ah Che being imprisoned in the Red Lotus Prison, he vowed to become the strongest, so he began to practice spells day and night.However, the long-term practice did not make the slightest progress. In the end, he completely despaired of the techniques of the Moon Worship Sect, and once wandered aimlessly around southern Xinjiang. One day, he walked through a lush bamboo forest following the water flow, and accidentally found several huts in the depths of the bamboo grove, covered with vines. The sword, but also written a large paragraph of text.At that time, he didn't know that he accidentally broke into the legendary Shensha Valley.And that remains is the Baidi who lived in seclusion in southern Xinjiang hundreds of years ago and died here. In the Tingxuelou era three hundred years ago, this old man was one of the three "land gods" in the world together with the blood demon and the snow valley old man.What is different from the other two is that Baidi integrated the martial arts of the Central Plains and the illusion of the southern border, and achieved extremely high attainments in both magic and martial arts, swordsmanship and magic. According to legend, Miss Zhongjing of Tingxuelou, who was famous for a generation, also worshiped under her when she was young. However, for some reason, after the Baidi sat down, there was not a single disciple left behind.After Shu Jingrong's sudden death, the lineage of Shenshagu came to an end immediately, and it is said that the "Six Books of Mowu" that condensed his life's painstaking efforts have never been handed down to the world. Shensha Valley became a land forgotten by the world, and was sealed in the ruins deep in the southern border forest. Until more than three hundred years later, by chance, the downcast Lunatician wandered in the southern borders, and by chance, he opened the tangled vines on the ruins, and saw the chapters of swordsmanship and spells left on the walls of the bamboo house. That sword is Quexie, the sword worn by Emperor Baidi during his lifetime. It is said that thousands of years ago, King Goujian of Yue worshiped the God of Kunwu with a white cow and a white horse to form the Eight Swords.Among them are Extinguishing Soul, Turning Soul and Expelling Evil. It is said that wearing this sword and walking at night will make it easier for the evil spirits. But the densely packed words in the room are exactly the "Six Books of Magic and Martial Arts" that condensed his life's painstaking efforts! The Six Books are written on the six walls where the Baidi sits and transforms, each word seems to come alive, agile and elegant, and the strokes are compelling.Three hundred years later, when Funan looked at it, he could still feel the sword intent and aura emanating from the words all over the wall. So, he sat beside Baidi's remains, took off the saber on the wall, and sat on his back. However, before he finished his studies, he received a new moon order from the teaching, and he was ordered to return to Lingjiu Mountain immediately—but when he hurried back, what awaited him and Liu Guang was a bloody and gloomy battle... conspiracy. Unable to bear the torture after being captured, he betrayed his master; but at the moment when the Red Lotus Hell was opened, he missed the only chance to rescue Shen Che out of Hell because of his timidity. Liu Guang was forever detained next to that weird red-clothed girl in Vulture Mountain. ... All of this happened so suddenly that it shattered his heart and broke his spirit in an instant. After being expelled from the Moon Palace, he chose to self-exile.He no longer practiced the teaching method of worshiping the moon, and he didn't even want to go back to Shensha Valley to finish learning the Six Books of Mowu—what's the use of learning it.Liu Guang was detained in the Moon Palace, how could he draw his sword against him? He lived in a hut next to the cemetery at the foot of Lingjiu Mountain, all thoughts were lost, and his heart was like still water.Every day, I just tease the raised crow Yaya and chat with Yansheng who is watching the tomb. This kind of life lasts for three years.In the past three years, he has suddenly changed from a high-spirited young man to an indifferent and quiet old man.If Miubi hadn't been visiting him often, he would have been overwhelmed by this world-weary feeling. Until, at the beginning of twilight tonight, a sudden knock on the door broke the dead silence of fate. The girl in white stood outside the door, her bare feet were stained with blood-red flower juice, but her eyes were pure——at that moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that something familiar had returned. ——However, he did not expect that it was not Shen Che himself who came back to find him in the twilight, but a puppet body manipulated by demons. What is the origin of that demon? … Funan's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered the golden crescent mark left on the baby's left cheek—that was clearly the sign of the Moon Worshiping Sect Master! According to what it said, it once escaped from the red lotus prison together with Ah Che, flowed countercurrently from the bottom of the holy lake on the top of the mountain along the underground spring, and broke out of the graveyard below the mountain—then it should be the same He was imprisoned in that holy lake water prison... Funan recalled the baby's ghostly skills and the bone sword he manipulated, and his heart trembled: Shen Ying's leader! For a hundred years, this bone sword has been lost.And he clearly remembered that in the records of the sect, the last person with this unique skill was only the leader Shen Ying from a hundred years ago! Three hundred years ago, the ancestor Jia Ruo sacrificed his life to feed the demons, emptied the water of the holy lake at the price of closing the ground forever, and sent all the evil spirits to the other side - since then, there has been no art of enslaving ghosts in the Moon Worship Sect. However, one hundred and fifty years later, a magic genius named Shen Ying emerged from the sect. Generally speaking, the power of the priests of the Moon Worship Sect has far exceeded that of the leader since Hualian's leader came down. But Shen Ying was an exception - she had learned various spells since she was a baby, she had learned the art of flying before she could walk, and she had read all the spell books in the temple when she was just eight years old. As a child, her spell ability was already able to compete with the Cang Ming Priest at that time! However, she is not only amazingly talented, but also has an extremely crazy desire for power. When teaching Chinese classics in the temple could no longer provide her with more room for advancement, she began to study some partial witchcraft among Miaojiang folk, From the Five Immortals Sect to the Hundred Poisons Sect, from astrology to poisoning, she tried her best to learn as long as it was useful. However, when she mastered all the techniques passed down in the world, she entered a difficult situation again. According to the records in the classics, this is a kind of "knowledge and vision barrier" that all practitioners will inevitably encounter after reaching their limits. Some people will not be able to advance an inch in their entire lives.Her quest for power is never-ending.But in the mundane world, there is always a limit to human power, and it is often difficult to see the way of heaven. After practicing behind closed doors for ten years without breaking the barrier, she actually used her body in exchange for greater power according to a mysterious blood sacrifice method passed down in ancient times—— On the night of the lunar eclipse, she bathed and changed her clothes, then burned her face in front of the statue of the moon god, raised a knife to cut off her limbs, and sacrificed her eyes, ears, nose, hands, feet, beautiful appearance and growing body—— With such a huge price, he finally broke through his own "barrier". After obtaining such astonishing power, Shen Ying's personality also changed. She became sinister and assertive. Regardless of the opposition of Cangming priests and elders, she reopened the Holy Lake mechanism, raising evil spirits and ghost descendants, in order to rely on the yin energy of heaven and earth here to control greater power. In the end, a decisive battle broke out between her and the priest Cang Ming. Knowing that her strength is invincible, Cang Ming who brought her up single-handedly came out to stop her after all. His recklessness, on the contrary, aroused the strongest sorrow and anger in her heart.The bloody battle lasted for a month. During that time, the sky over Lingjiu Mountain was covered with dark clouds and the sun was not visible. All the disciples of the Moon Palace rushed to avoid it.A month later, the leader Shen Ying reopened the door of the Moon Palace on the top of the mountain, and walked down the Vulture Mountain—holding Cang Ming's head in his hands. The Cang Ming who taught her from a child to a magician with one hand, the Cang Ming who had been her only companion for many years, the nineteenth priest of the Moon Worship Sect, finally died under her bone sword. was sunk into the bottom of the holy lake. That was the first priest who died at the hands of the leader in the history of Moon Worship Sect. Shen Ying became another person who combined the authority of the leader and priest after the leader of Hualian. She ruled the southern border for a full twenty years, and took control of all life and death in this land.However, how can all this continue? At the pinnacle of power and strength, her heart began to dry up rapidly. She couldn't control the spread of the dark side in her heart, and became more and more violent and cruel. In the end, she could only keep killing in exchange for inner peace.During those twenty years, the holy lake was quickly filled with corpses and spirits, and the people in southern Xinjiang complained a lot, and even the people in the sect dared not speak out. However, when the darkness was eroding his heart, Shen Ying clearly understood the situation he was facing. "There is a huge monster inhabiting my body." One day, out of control, she finally killed her personal maid who had followed her for more than ten years.Spreading his bloody fingers in a daze, the sober Luna Worship Sect leader seemed to finally understand what he had done, and his face was pale: "There are monsters inhabiting my body! ... The nightmare has grown up in my body ... it is about to Come out...what to do?" The congregants who heard it left and right were all pale—— In the teachings of the Moon Worship Sect, Nightmare is a demon that opposes the Moon God, with powerful mana.It controls the power of darkness, and has been competing with the moon god for the fate of the creatures on the earth.Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, in order to prevent the earth from falling into darkness, the moon god borrowed light from the sun god with the heart and moon wheel and sprinkled it on the earth.Nightmare's body was eliminated, but he never died, so for thousands of years, he could only continue his existence by occupying other people's bodies. Generation after generation, it has possessed people and passed on its power. According to legend, Nightmare will lay eggs in the air. Those eggs are smaller than human pores, and they blow all over Kyushu with the wind. Nightmare can then take advantage of the void—those eggs drill into the human body, and the nightmare is born in the human heart.It parasitizes on human beings and treats human internal organs as food, until it eats up the entire body before flying out to find the next target. Nightmare has many followers, and its power comes from the dark side of the human heart, so it has never been eliminated.Legend has it that every hundred years, its power will reach its peak, and it will start to counterattack frantically, and even devour the bright moon, leaving the world in complete darkness. On that day, it was called the "Calamity of Exterminating the Heaven" of the Moon Worship Sect. Although such precedents are few and far between, they clearly exist.More than a hundred years ago, when Tingxuelou crossed the Lancang River in the south, the celestial phenomena showed the omen of "the calamity of destroying the sky" - that night, the sky was full of dust and the bright moon was obliterated.In the world, only the evil spirits danced wildly, cheering towards the nightmare. If Priest Jiaruo and Master Tingxue hadn't cooperated with each other in the end, at all costs, even sacrificing themselves to lead the evil spirits into the ground and seal them forever, then the disaster of that time would have spread to the entire southern border! Now, another hundred years have passed, because of her extreme desire for power, it has caused the expansion of the dark side of her heart-the water of the holy lake has dried up and filled again; and the devil has gradually revived in people's hearts, right? However, while being unable to control himself more and more, Shen Ying's remaining sanity was sticking to the last trace of sobriety. On the eve of the "big catastrophe" in the prophecy, the most powerful leader of the Moon Worship Sect burned incense in white clothes and sank in the holy lake—it is said that she wanted to follow the example of the priest Jia Ruo a hundred years ago and put the lake water into the ground. He used his body to extradite all dead souls, but he couldn't find a partner like Tingxue to help him, so he could only sink to the bottom of the lake alone. Before jumping into the lake, she swears by dripping blood that the evil spirits in her heart will not be exhausted, and she swears not to leave the lake. In this way, she closed the monster in her heart, and closed herself permanently under the holy lake. For more than a hundred years, almost everyone has forgotten it, and even doubted the authenticity of this incident a hundred years ago—in Moon Worship, many things about the leader and priests were deified intentionally or unintentionally, so that It is worshiped by believers in later generations, such as the priest Jiaruo three hundred years ago. However, on such a ghost festival night, the leader Shen Ying, who had been dormant underground for a hundred years, possessed a human body and appeared in the world! Returning to the house, sitting down to bandage the wound, Funan took out a box from the hidden compartment by the window, opened it, and on the crimson velvet lay three crystal clear Aescin, which was very fragrant. This kind of Aescin only grows in extremely shady places, absorbs the water of the underworld, grows up, does not see the sun, and associates with ghosts. Although Lingjiu Mountain is known as gathering the Yin energy of heaven and earth, it can only be found at the bottom of the holy lake.However, the holy lake is full of ghosts and evil thoughts, and picking this kind of ganoderma is even more dangerous, and almost every tree will cost a person's life. However, every July and a half, Moon Palace will send someone down the mountain to give him a Ganoderma lucidum, saying that it was given to him by Liuguang—but he understands that this is clearly a warning from the leader of Tianlai to warn him that Liuguang has always been in her hands, so that he must not act rashly . Funan was still thinking about these past events in a daze, subconsciously knocking on the Que Xie sword with his fingers, listening to the sound of the sword ding ding, his face became more and more solemn.Yaya was injured, and dragged one wing around the table, making loud noises. "Shut up!" His fingers slammed on the table, Funan yelled harshly, his teeth stopped in fright, and he looked at his master with eyes that looked like black beans in panic.Funan stood up on his own and walked to the window, silently looking at the Lingjiu Mountain in the moonlight, his eyes flickering. There, a large piece of fiery red manjusawa surrounds the foot of the mountain, making the whole mountain seem to be burning on fire. Tonight is a full moon, Vulture Mountain soars into the sky, and the Moon Palace on the top of the mountain is bathed in moonlight, shining with a luster that does not belong to the world. Liu Guang, Liu Guang is right there... Thinking about it, he has never seen this senior brother since the Seizing Palace three years ago, although he can receive gifts and gifts from Liu Guang every July half night. letterhead.The leader of Tianlai, who was always in the shape of a girl, was definitely not a kind person. At the beginning, Liu Guang refused to bend his knees and betrayed, but when he fell into her hands, I don't know what kind of torture he suffered. But at this moment, Shen Ying manipulated Shen Che to rush into the Moon Palace, not knowing what was going on up there... The pair of eyes in the memory emerged more and more clearly, innocent and pure, looking at him quietly after ten years... Suddenly there was a deep and thin stabbing pain in my heart, like a needle piercing the bottom of my heart , Old wounds gradually shattered. Ten years... It has been such a long time since I watched Ah Che being thrown into the underwater prison.He once swore to bring that child out of the dark prison, but his strength and courage were far behind; in the Seizure of the Palace three years ago, when the only chance came, he died because of inner cowardice. flinched for a moment. He watched the red lotus prison suddenly shut, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand. Ten years ago, three years ago, in the two choices, it seemed that a pair of invisible claws were holding his throat. Over the years, he has lived a forbearing and indifferent life, and this kind of living is actually not much different from death. Unable to bear it any longer, he stood up holding the sword, pushed open the door of the bamboo house and walked out! Three years ago, he vowed never to step into the Moon Palace again, but today, he has decided to go up the mountain with his sword in his hands for that girl. Liu Guang is on the mountain, and Ah Che is also on the mountain...the people he cares about are all there!Even if the Moon Palace is still a place where the price of life is bound to come back if you offend, what is there to be afraid of? The cold moon outside the house was silent, and the endless manjusawa bloomed in full bloom under the moon, like a flame ignited.
