Chapter 7 Surprise

Zhou Yixian, three people here rested to save the wild dog. After the wild dog learned that his life had been recovered, he felt even more lucky and privately was a little confused about his unexpected bravery at that time. However, after this time, the relationship between Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist became more intimate. After all, they lived and death together. Zhou Yixian did not speak coldly to the wild dog Taoist as before. When he was just to work, it was still the same as before. However, after all, the wild dog Taoist was seriously injured, On the contrary, Zhou Xian did a lot of work, which caused his old man to complain.

The little ring and the wild dog are still the same as before, but the wild dog Taoist seems to be a little more afraid in front of the little ring, and talking to the little ring is less than before. Although Xiaohuan is strange, she doesn't feel that over the past few days, more of her spirit has been attracted to the seemingly ordinary black cover book.

Wild Dog Taoist had never read Xiaohuan reading this book before, which was quite strange, but Xiaohuan never said the origin of this book. Zhou Yixian was also unclear. After a long time, he gradually got used to it. Only occasionally felt that Xiaohuan's expression seemed to be a little different, but there was any difference from before, but he couldn' Come on.

The catastrophe of beasts and demons rose from 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, and the first one to suffer was the land of southern Xinjiang.

The people of all ethnic groups here are poisoned by beasts and demons, even deeper than that of Middle-earth. Ten rooms and nine empty rooms, which is almost the inevitable end of many villages and towns, that is, no one in the whole village has survived and appears from time to time.

After the catastrophe, the remaining small beast demons here in southern Xinjiang are far more than those from Middle-earth. People who survived the catastrophe often have to endure the ravages of those remnants and demons. This life is really dark and hot.

Gui Li set foot on the land of southern Xinjiang again under such circumstances.

Along the way, he did not find any traces of the beast god, but countless people from the right path flocked to him, including many famous figures such as Qingyun and burning incense. Many people seem to be crazy and look for the whereabouts of the beast god, but it is obvious that many people have been looking for him, but no one has found him.

After Qingyun was defeated in the battle, the seriously injured and escaped beast god seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one could find him again. It's just that the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang have always been his former residence. Anyway, he will come back, right?

With this idea, Gui Li entered the southern Xinjiang. With him, there are also countless righteous disciples. Among them, the burning incense valley is a return to their hometown. After all, the burning incense valley is in southern Xinjiang, but the purpose of other righteous disciples is naturally not just to help the people of southern Xinjiang remove the remnants of those small beasts and demons.

However, anyway, because of the arrival of these people, the originally unscrupulous remnants of the beast demons have temporarily restrained. After all, these righteous disciples will also remove these beast demons as much as they can. As a result, the atmosphere in all parts of southern Xinjiang has been boosted.

It's just that no one has found the shadow of the beast god on the boundary of the southern border. Now the only possibility is the poor mountains and rivers, strange and mysterious 100,000 mountains.

In the layers of black mountains, I don't know how many secrets are hidden!

Before entering the mountain, Gui Li went to Qilitong of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. For nothing else, it was just for what the great wizard had done for Baguio that day. He also wanted to come to pay tribute.

Tianshui Village, Qilidong, along the way, the originally prosperous and lively scene disappeared. The tragedy along the way, even he thought he had been tough, couldn't help but be moved by it.

Why on earth will there be such a catastrophe that poisons the world?

He has achieved success in his own practice and is out of this huge wave of evil, but what about the countless people who are suffering all over the world? What mistakes did they make? Why did they suffer such a disaster?

Thinking back to the Tianyin Temple, countless people worship and pray to the gods and Buddhas day and night, looking at the world, and many more people are doing this and worshipping the gods. But when the disaster came, who helped them?

So, is it useful to worship like this?

Or is it really in response to the mysterious sentence throughout the Book of Heaven:

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, take everything as a ruminant dog?

※※※

When he stepped into Qilidong, Gui Li took a deep breath. This place, which was once beautiful in his impression, had been dilapidated and destroyed. Almost all the houses that used to be gathered are left with ruins, and there are no bustling crowds on the street, let alone those children running and playing.

The remnants of the people only saw only one-tenth of them. Most of them were desperately and laborious to pack up something before the dilapidated house, trying to find what could be used from the ruins. However, what they could often find was the remains of the dead.

In the whole seven miles, there is a sad and decadenched atmosphere. Occasionally, a few children are standing there in a daze, their eyes are full of confusion and fear, and for a moment, an adult will come out from behind and pull them back in.

Gui Li walked slowly along the street, which soon attracted the attention of some Miao people. In the eyes he saw, there was a strong sense of vigilance. In the strange atmosphere, even the little gray on the ghost's shoulder seemed to be much more honest, although it still looked around.

Gui Li sighed secretly. He didn't want to see more, so he accelerated his pace and walked straight to the altar on the hillside in the depths of Qilidong. The more he walked in, the road around him was obvious, and the more dilapidated it was. Gui Li was silent and seemed to faintly see that when the catastrophe came, many Miao soldiers faced the fierce beast demons here in order to defend the holy land and fought a life-and-death battle!

Even in the air, it seems to be filled with a faint smell of blood.

At the foot of the mountain, two young Miao soldiers stopped him. Gui Li silently stopped and looked at them. These two people, holding spears and wearing armor, were just fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers. Even the armor on their bodies looked wider than their bodies. I don't know if they were left by the brave soldiers.

"How many gurggles?" A man asked in Miao language.

Gui Li didn't understand, but he more or less guessed what he would ask, so he didn't say anything. He just looked up halfway up the mountain. He didn't use his fingers because he still remembered that Miao Ren regarded this behavior as a disrespectful act.

The two teenagers were stunned and looked at each other. Then one of them seemed to be a little longer and shook his head. Neither of them gave up. Gui Li was slightly anxious, but he really didn't want to fight with the big wizards who had helped him, and when he saw the tragic situation in the seven miles, he couldn't take action.

He was silent for a long time. When the hostility in the eyes of the two teenagers became heavier and heavier, he sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.

He just took a few steps, and suddenly there was a burst of ** from the mountain. He turned his head and looked. A moment later, a man quickly ran down from the mountainside. First, he said a few words to the two teenagers in Miao language. The two teenagers nodded repeatedly and stood aside. Then, the man who looked like a priest of about forty, Some lame Middle-earth languages say to ghosts:

"You... OK, big, big... Wizard, please go up."

Gui Li was shocked and frowned and said, "The great wizard?"

The man nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath, nodded, and followed the man up the hillside.

The cave is still in place, but the buildings and stone platforms at the entrance of the cave are completely different, and the rocks are broken and rolling all over the ground. Among the rocks, there was a young Miao man, who seemed to be only about thirty years old. He was dressed in a big wizard's robe and looked at the ghost coming with a smile.

His eyes were faintly bright, as if his own flame of enthusiasm was burning in it, which was completely different from the Miao people at the foot of the mountain.

Gui Li came to him. The young man smiled and said fluently, "Hello, Mr. Gui Li, I'm a new generation of wizard of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. I've been looking forward to your name for a long time."

Gui Li was stunned for a moment and nodded to return the gift. Before he could speak, the young wizard had already smiled and said, "Please come in. I'll take you to see the previous wizard."

After saying that, he led the way into the cave, which was still dark. Gui Li followed him and slowly melted into the darkness.

It was still the same darkness in the cave. The figure of the young wizard shook slightly in front of him. Somehow, the ghost felt that he was a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the last time he came here, the big wizard had called out the young man. He never thought that in a short time, he had taken over. The location of the great wizard.

Like last time, the young wizard still came to the room dedicated to the dog god in the depths of the cave with the ghost. The huge fire was still burning, making a crackling sound, but the old and withered figure was no longer there.

The young man stepped forward and saluted the statue of the dog god. Then he took out a wooden box from the dog's mouth of the statue of the dog god, put it on the ground respectfully, and then said to the ghost: "Our Miao people's custom is that after the death of the great wizards of all dynasties, we It's his old man's ashes."

Gui Li silently looked at the small wooden box. The whole box was plain and unpretished, and there was no decoration at all. Even the wood used was the most common tree in southern Xinjiang. The big wizard slept quietly like countless seedlings.

The ghost bends his body and salutes deeply.

The monkey squeaked, jumped off him and ran aside by himself.

According to Middle-earth customs, the young wizard also bent down to return the gift, and then preciously picked up the flat wooden box and put it into the mouth of the dog god again.

Two people sat on the ground beside the fire, and the firelight was reflected in their eyes, very bright in the dark.

Before the ghost asked, the young man had said lightly, "I was his disciple when he was alive, and after the terrible disaster, all the elders and priests here died, so I inherited the position of the great wizard."

Gui Li nodded silently, looked at the dog god in the distance unexpectedly, and said slowly, "The great wizard also died for me. Every time I think about this, I feel uneasy."

The young wizard bowed slightly and said, "You're wrong. Master has already told me that his life limit has arrived. Even if he doesn't go to the Central Plains, there is only a way to die. However, it is already a great blessing for all our Miao people to be able to send the master's ashes back."

Gui Li sighed and whispered, "These things are also done by other people with intention, which has nothing to do with me."

The young wizard smiled and obviously didn't care about the ghost's words. He said, "But this time you come to our Qilidong, but I don't know what's wrong with you?"

Gui Li said, "Actually, it's nothing else. I just came here to pay tribute to the great wizard's predecessor. In addition, this disaster is so severe. I intend to chase the culprit beast god. I don't know if you have any clues?

The young wizard's face changed slightly. Obviously, for him, the word beast god is still a very terrible and taboo word. He quickly fell silent. After a long time, the ghost said lightly, "You don't have to care. Countless people in the world want to find him, but they can't find him. You don't know that it's normal. I'm sorry to bother you here. Let's leave first."

After saying that, he was about to get up. The young wizard was hesitant and suddenly said, "Are you going to track down the beast god?"

Ghost said fiercely, "Yes."

The young wizard stared at him and said, "You can kill him."

Gui Li was silent for a long time and said, "I'm not sure."

The young wizard pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll tell you what I know. I don't know how to find the beast god, but according to the ancient legend of my clan, this beast god is a demon-like ghost and can't be killed. He can only be suppressed and sealed like a witch ten thousand years ago. If you want to suppress him, you need to take five artifacts from his body. The five artifacts are the source of the beast demon's life. If it is lost, the beast demon must fall into a deep sleep. In addition, there is another important point. When the beast demon was rampant that day, the demon power was strong and invincible. Thanks to the witch's witch used the witch to pass on the strange array 'Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Fire Array' to trap it. If you can find this kind of formation, maybe..."

Ghost nodded slowly.

The young wizard thought for a moment and said, "I really can't think of how to find the beast demon, but according to the legend in the clan, when the witch was sealed the beast demon, it was in the depths of the mountains of 100,000 mountains, a place called the ancient cave of Zhenmo. And it is said that the Empress herself has also turned into a stone statue, facing the depths of the ancient cave. Maybe if you find such a place, there will be traces of beasts and demons.

Gui Li remembered it one by one, nodded to the young wizard in front of him and said, "Thank you very much."

The wizard smiled and said nothing.

When the two walked out of the cave, Gui Li couldn't help asking him why there was no sadness in his eyes.

The young wizard paused for a moment and said lightly, "If I'm sad again, what about those people in Qili? It's not that I'm not sad, it's that I can't be sad!"

Gui Li listened and was silent for a long time before he left.

※※※

After leaving Qilithong, Gui Li was not in a hurry. He walked slowly all the way and thought about what the young wizard said several times. The strange "Eight Evil Mysterious Fire Array" made him involuntarily think of another person - Xiaobai.

On that day, she left angrily, and there was no news from then on. Although with her Taoist power, there was no need to worry more, the purpose of Xiaobai's departure was mostly to find the "Eight Fierce Mysterious Fire Array", and the ghost's heart was more or less guilty.

The demon power of blood-eating beads has troubled him for many years, but some time ago, under the wordless jade wall of Tianyin Temple in Xumi Mountain, he understood the four volumes of "Tianshu", which integrated the demon power of blood-eating beads with the true power of Buddhism, Taoism and demons, and even the power of Xuanhuo Jian As he becomes more and more refined in practice, it is no longer a matter of life.

It's just that somehow, with the epiphany under the wordless jade wall, he has gradually thought of a lot of things, and the unexpected things in the past are gradually seen in retrothinking.

Xiaobai is like this to him, but it's not all because of Baguio's relationship with her own?

She was alone. On that day, when the beast demon catastrophe was in full bloom, she returned to southern Xinjiang to find the magic array. The sky and the earth were insland, and now there is no news about her at all. When Gui Li thought of this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pain, but the earth was so big that he really didn't know how to find it.

Gui Li pondered for a long time, and finally decided to go to the incense valley secretly for nothing else. First, listen to Xiaobai Zengdao, the eight fierce mysterious fire array has appeared in the incense valley Xuanhu altar. In this case, if Xiaobai wants to find this array, he will probably go here, and even if she is not there, it

When his mind was determined, Gui Li rushed to the Burning Valley.

Burning incense valley was originally one of the three main factions in the world, but in this catastrophe, he was the first to bear the brunt of it. It happened to be at the exit of the beast demon raging, and the end can be imagined. Fortunately, on that day, Yun Yilan, the owner of the Fenxiang Valley, led the disciples to the Middle Earth first, and joined hands with Qingyunmen and other righteous ways to deal with the beast demons. Although the Fenxiang Valley was destroyed, the disciples of the Fenxiang Valley did not hurt their muscles and bones.

It's just a dignified school. It's inevitable that it's embarrassing to end up like this. After the catastrophe, many rumors and rumors came out, which means that the people in the incense valley are timid and afraid of things. With the respect of the righteous school, they did not dare to face the beast demon disaster

Now Qingyunmen and Daoxuan Zhenren are really supreme and prestigious in the heart of the world. Compared with that, Fenxiang Valley and others are too inferior. As a large number of righteous disciples entered southern Xinjiang to search for the whereabouts of the beast gods, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley will naturally not fall behind. However, when they meet on weekdays, the disciples under the Fenxiang Valley have lost the arrogance of the past.

It's just that, after all, Fenxiang Valley is a famous school, and its strength is still there. Although there are a lot of rumors, no one dares to bully Fenxiang Valley face to face. As for the valley of the Incense Valley itself, it was really a mess, at least what he saw when he sneaked in secretly.

The originally quiet and beautiful valley is now full of unpleasant scorching and fishy smells. Countless disciples of the Incense Valley carry all kinds of rotten garbage and bones in the valley, including both human beings and animal corpses.

After observing secretly and thinking for a moment, he has understood that he sneaked into the incense valley late at night that day and was still found in the incense valley. It was not that not all the disciples in the incense valley were profound, but many strange animals that they were good at keeping in captivity.

It's just that Yun Yilan can take most of her disciples to Middle-earth, but she can't take these animals away together. When the catastrophe comes and those extremely ferocious beast demon frenzy passes through this place, these many animals are naturally unavoidable. Over time, the body is rotten, and it is even more difficult to smell.

However, without these strange animals at this moment, it is not good for ghosts. At least he is not afraid that in the corner of these rooms, some monsters will suddenly call the police, making him exposed.

There are many disciples in Fenxiang Valley, but half of them have been sent to track the whereabouts of the beast demons. How can Fenxiang Valley not want to do what countless righteous sects want to do? And the remaining half of the disciples are mostly doing the work of tidying up the garbage and ruins in the valley. Even if there are some elders in the valley owner, it is naturally impossible for people like Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce to patrol the valley from time to time. It was because the ghost had almost no difficulties, so he sneaked into the incense valley.

At this moment, the genius evening is much brighter than the last time he came to the incense valley, but I don't know how many times easier it is to sneak in.

After Gui Li sneaked into the incense valley, he didn't think much about it. He went straight to the direction of the Xuanhu altar in the incense valley. On that day, Xiaobai was imprisoned here, and the eight fierce Xuanhu magic array was also arranged here, so he naturally came here to look for it. It's just that after all, this is the forbidden place of the incense valley. In such a busy situation, the guard defense of the Xuanhuo altar seems to be a little stricter than the last time when the ghost came. I don't know if it's because Xiaobai escaped and outsiders sneaked in.

It's just that Gui Li's practice at this time is not the same as the past. Although the incense valley is closely guarded in the Xuanhuo altar, Gui Li lurked carefully and carefully, and finally unconsciously swept into the majestic Xuanhuo altar.

As he expected, although the guard outside was strict, there was no one to guard in the Xuanhu altar. At a glance, it seemed to be the same as when I came last time. There was still a strange dark red array on the ground, deep on the ground. Gui Li knew in his heart that this was the legendary strange and magical eight fierce monsters. Fire array.

However, the damage caused by the magma eruption caused by Gui Li and Xiao Bai's escape on that day is also faintly visible. The charred places splashed by magma can be seen everywhere on the surrounding walls, and the places where the stones collapse are even more uncountable, that is, the eight fierce mysterious fire array on the ground, and in some places can also be seen that they are slightly deformed by the blazing fire.

However, if it was an ordinary place, it would have been destroyed long ago under such a disaster, and the surrounding land boundary could be roughly intact. It seems that this magic circle played a strange effect, and it was saved.

Looking up, the two and third floors, which were originally imprisoned in Xiaobai, had lost their effectiveness, and they were opened like that, revealing an empty and gloomy dark hole. In the whole majestic Xuanhuo altar, under the slight firelight, there was only a ghost figure, flashing gently.

Gui Li was silent for a long time, shook his head, walked to the eight fierce mysterious fire array, and looked carefully. He saw that in the huge array, all the fierce gods were still as clear and vivid as in the memory, and the patterns connecting these fierce gods were also strange and complicated. Gui Li took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged in front of this picture.

Just as he was about to calmly understand the legendary strange witch formation, suddenly, in the silent and gloomy altar of mysterious fire, in the darkness above him, a woman's crisp and echoing laughter came.

Grillic face changed greatly. Huo Ran stood up, looked up, and blurted out: "Is it you, Xiaobai..."

His words stopped abruptly, and a figure floated down from the dark shadow above. The once familiar goose yellow clothes, clear and soft eyes, as if they were drunk at a glance--

It turned out to be a person he couldn't dream of, the woman who was rumored to have died in the catastrophe - Jin Ping'er!

※※※

After the initial consterification, Gui Li quickly calmed down. Jin Ping'er still stood there, as if nothing had changed. Her clothes, face and expression, and even the corners of her mouth, with a faint and charming smile.

She looked at Gui Li, smiled and said, "Hello."

Gui Li looked at her silently and said after a long time, "Why are you here?"

Jin Ping'er gently brushed her hair on her temples with her hand. In the small movements, she seemed to have infinite amorous feelings. She said softly, "I'm waiting for you here."

Gui Li frowned and said, "Wait for me? What to do? How did you know I would come here?

Jin Ping'er smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that the last time you came here, but you came with me. I heard that this time you want to track the beast god. According to the legend here in southern Xinjiang, if you want to suppress the beast god, it is naturally inevitable to have this magic array here. Where else can you go if you don't come here?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, seemed to be a little proud, and even more indescribably charming like water. She smiled and said, "Look, I'm smart, right?"

Gui Li frowned and felt that after his great progress, he was still a little turbulent under the charm of Jin Ping'er, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. After the catastrophe, the legendary dead woman seemed to have reached a higher level of power.

Since she is not dead, what about the others, the masters of other demon sects who were destroyed in the catastrophe? Didn't they die?

Gui Li was shocked, but he still said coldly, "You haven't answered me yet. What are you waiting for me to do?"

Jin Ping'er smiled softly, but said in a faint tone, "I know the location of the ancient cave of the beast god. After the ghost king knows it, let me help you."

The ghost's body shook greatly. He suddenly looked up and looked at the golden bottle, but he saw that the golden bottle's eyes were like water and his smile was like a flower, and there was no strange look at all.
