Chapter 84 Thousand Ghost Caves
Just as everyone was taking a nap by the stream, there was a shocking mountain roar in the deep mountains in the distance. The roar was earth-shaking, and even if it was so far away, it made people scared after hearing it.
The red sun was born. This is the morning of the day. Ji Shangxuan looked up at the sun and stood up and said to the crowd, "Okay, let's go and try to find Qiongqi before the other two factions."
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
Jiang Hanye was teased by Ji Yuan again for taking care of the wind for Xiaoyu. He was angry, so as soon as he went on the road, he ran to Ji Yuan's side and pinched his neck to 'avenge'. Xiaobai was also very cute, jumping and screaming, and he was also unremitable to Ji Yuan.
"Cough! All right, all right, it's going to die!" Ji Yuan was almost pinched by Jiang Hanye, so he hurriedly begged for mercy, "I won't laugh at you again."
"Really?" Jiang Hanye didn't believe Ji Yuan's nonsense.
"Really!" Ji Yuan said perfunctorily and raised one hand and swore, "If I lie to you, I will thunder!"
Ji Yuan's vow is equally unreliable, but Jiang Hanye did not intend to go too far. After all, he is his second brother. Jiang Hanye just came here to get rid of the embarrassment between him and Xiaoyu. At this time, in order to 'chasing' the second brother, he had left Xiaoyu from afar, and his goal had been achieved.
"Well, I said." Ji Yuan touched the pinched neck, frowned and said to Jiang Hanye, "It seems that you still have a chance."
"What's the play?" Jiang Hanye was stunned. No one had told him about these things, so he naturally didn't understand the hidden meaning in these words.
"Are you stupid?" Ji Yuan pounded Jiang Hanye's chest with his elbow. In fact, he took the opportunity to revenge. "Look at the little sister's attitude towards you, it seems to be getting better and better."
Jiang Hanye bowed his head and said nothing. Somehow, he doesn't want to talk about this topic at all now. He lowered his head, accelerated his pace, and quickly walked in front of Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan touched his neck and looked at Jiang Hanye's back strangely. He felt that the little brother seemed to have something on his mind.
"Master, where are we going?" A disciple next to Ji Shangxuan couldn't help asking curiously.
"I'm going to look for Qiongqi." Ji Shangxuan said in a low voice with an expressionless face.
"But is it such a aimless search?" The disciple couldn't help asking.
"What else?" Ji Shangxuan said, "This beast is cunning and changeable. There is no fixed residence in three caves a day, so we can only spread the net to find it like this. You should be careful and never let go of any clues."
"Yes!" Several disciples nearby answered in unison.
There are almost no plants on this mountain. Except for a withered poplar tree that occasionally stands in the cracks in the rocks, Jiang Hanye did not see other plants, even small grasses are rare, and this phenomenon becomes more and more serious as they go deeper. This mountain turned out to be a bare The bald stone mountain has no beauty at all.
More than 200 miles east of Mount Yong, there is another mountain. This mountain can be described as lush and dense jungle, which is the opposite of the adjacent Mount Yong. This mountain is called Zhongqu Mountain.
Zhongqu Mountain is as high as a cloud, and its height is a little higher than that of Qishan Mountain. Although it is March, it is still cold and windy in the mountains. At a cliff on the top of Zhongqu Mountain, there was a man in gorgeous clothes sitting on the ground casually, holding a cucumber in his hand, looking at the west while chewing the cucumber.
"Manghu!" A man in gorgeous clothes.
"My subordinates are here." Manghu knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
"These old people have entered Yongshan. You can do it." The words of the man in gorgeous clothes are very lazy, as if he is doing his best to enjoy all the happiness and comfort that can be enjoyed in the world.
"I obey!" Manghu replied.
"Remember to use the magic weapon I gave you, and don't foolishly measure it again." The man in gorgeous clothes frowned and said.
"I remember." Manghu still answered respectfully.
"What are you waiting for? Go! I want you to bring the child before the afternoon!" The man in gorgeous clothes said.
"Yes!" Mango knelt down and retreated, stood up far enough from the gorgeous man, twisted the spell in his mouth, and suddenly a black cloud emerged from the bottom of his feet, carrying him into the clouds and flying straight to the east.
After the Manghu left, the man in gorgeous clothes narrowed the apricot eyes slightly, stared at the mountain in the distance, and said coldly, "World, my fate is coming!" After saying that, he suddenly stood up from the same place, opened his arms to meet the cold wind, raised his head and stood on the edge of the cliff, allowing the cold wind to blow up his wide robe. As long as the white clouds surge from his fingertips, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of standing on the top of the mountain overlooking everything.
Yangshan Middle Road.
Ji Shangxuan led his disciples to climb along the way and unconsciously came to a huge cave. The cave almost completely blocked their way, like a huge beast, opening its mouth to welcome them, as if telling Ji Shangxuan and others: "What are you looking at? Either come in or get back."
The mouth of the cave is tilted up and slightly. The inside of the cave is dark and nothing can be seen clearly. Even at noon when the sun is shining, the sun cannot penetrate half of the cave. At this moment, the people of Wanjian Villa stood seven or eight feet away from the mouth of the cave. They had already felt a cautious gloomy wind blowing out of the cave, and the wind blew on their faces, making people feel creepy.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and were silent. They listened to the sound from the cave. The sound was soft, wordy, sometimes nothing, as if the ghost was crying, or like a wolf. Hearing the sound, Jiang Hanye only felt that his scalp was numb.
At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly whined a few times and grabbed Jiang Hanye's instep with his claws. Jiang Hanye looked down at Xiaobai: "What's the matter, Xiaobai? Do you also feel scared?"
Xiaobai shook his tail and didn't make a sound, but scratched Jiang Hanye's instep with his claws, as if there was something to tell him. Jiang Hanye frowned and looked at Xiaobai. He bent down and whispered, "Well, let's talk about it when you get back. If not, why don't you wait here now?"
Xiaobai didn't help. He hit Jiang Hanye with his head, and his whole facial features wrinkled together, which seemed to be very painful. Jiang Hanye hurriedly stroked Xiaobai's back hair and said worriedly, "What's the matter?"
Xiaobai is not a human, so naturally he can't answer Jiang Hanye in human language. He saw his neck shrugging and making a nausea sound in his throat.
"Do you want to vomit?" Jiang Hanye frowned and asked.
Xiaobai answered him with action. After a moment, Xiaobai spit out, and a fishy smell immediately spread. People around him couldn't help covering their noses in disgust: "What's the smell?"
"Has this guy eaten too much?"
"Clean it up!"
"Shh, don't talk and follow the master's instructions!" Another person said.
Jiang Hanye didn't pay attention to those people. He just looked at Xiaobai and felt a little guilty. Xiaobai followed him to eat and sleep out. Not to mention suffering, he had to experience such a terrible thing to deal with such a powerful enemy. He felt that he owed Xiaobai in his heart.
The little white vomit was a pile of green sticky things, but after vomiting, it pulled it with its claws in the pile of vomit. Jiang Hanye suddenly saw a round bead the size of a thumb belly in the vomit, and there seemed to be a pattern on it.
"Are you giving me this?" Jiang Hanye suddenly seemed to understand why Xiaobai was going to treat him like that just now, and couldn't help asking.
Xiaobai whined, as if to say, "Idiot, isn't it? Put it away quickly!"
To be honest, Xiaobai's vomit is really not good-looking, and Jiang Hanye didn't want to take it at all, but he frowned and thought about it, thinking that Xiaobai must have a reason to do so, because Xiaobai has never done anything for no reason after being with him for so long.
Jiang Hanye stretched out his hand to pick up the thing. It was strange that it was found in Xiaobai's vomit, but when Jiang Hanye pinched it with his fingers, he found that it was smooth and clean, as if it had never appeared in Xiaobai's vomit.
Jiang Hanye was careful when doing all this, because he knew that it was better not to let others know what it was before he figured out what it was. He squatted on the ground and snuggled up to Xiaobai. If someone who didn't know looked over, he would think he was playing with Xiaobai.
Jiang Hanye quietly pointed the bead at the sun and was suddenly surprised to find that there was an image of a crow in the bead. He suddenly thought, "Yes, since the blood crow is a monster, it must have the core of the spirit demon. Xiaobai may have found the core of the spirit demon, and now he is actually going to give this thing away. Give it to me?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Hanye couldn't help but feel warm. Xiaobai has always been so intimate and loyal to him, and now he spits out the core of the spirit demon to him, which is obviously offering treasures.
Jiang Hanye touched Xiaobai's hair and muttered, "Xiao Bai, thank you."
"Woo-hoo!" Xiaobai shouted in a low voice and looked very happy, as if he was happy to get the core of the spirit demon in Jiang Hanye.
Jiang Hanye took advantage of his unpreparedness and stuffed the core of the spirit demon into the purse in his belt. At the same time, he touched the Brahma ruler with his hand. Everything was still there, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ji Shangxuan stopped at the entrance of the cave for a moment. He looked up at the cave. The cave had three big words 'Thousand Ghost Cave' written on it. He stroked his beard, frowned and meditated. After a moment, he turned to the crowd and said, "We have arrived at the mouth of the Thousand Ghost Cave. The future is uncertain. You must be careful and must not Do you understand?"
"Disciples respect the teacher's order!" Everyone answered in unison.
Ji Shangxuan seemed to be worried. He whispered to Ji Shangfeng and Ji Kuotian for a moment before deciding to enter the cave.
Thousand Ghost Cave, the name alone is frightening enough. Jiang Hanye frowned and looked at the cave. In a trance, he felt that the cave seemed to be the slightly open mouth of some wronged soul, which made him feel deterred.
It's a matter of life and death. Everyone dares not neglect it. Everyone is waiting for Ji Shangxuan to enter this so-called Thousand Ghost Cave with an order.
"Do you know where it came from?" Ji Shangxuan asked in a low voice.
Naturally, the disciples didn't know, so they shook their heads and said, "Disciples are stupid and ask the master for advice."
Ji Shangxuan looked around the disciples and then said, "This thousand ghost cave is the place where the souls of people who have been eaten by Qiongqi have been imprisoned for thousands of years."
After hearing this, everyone was terruffed, and they whispered to each other: "The person who was eaten?"
"Yes, isn't that Qiongqi specializes in eating good people? Kind-hearted, filial and loyal are probably trapped here.
"Since he was a good man, he will definitely not go there after death." Another person said.
"I don't know, let's listen to what the master says."
"I knew you would think so." Ji Shangxuan said slowly, "But don't think that this poor man only eats good people, so these ghosts must also be good ghosts, in fact!"
"Master, why don't those who have been eaten enter the six paths and reincarnation?" Ji Yuan frowned and asked.
"This has a lot to do with poverty." Ji Shangxuan said in a low voice, "This Qiongqi is outside the three worlds and jumps out of the circle of reincarnation. It itself is an ancient fierce beast and a creation between heaven and earth, so it naturally has some mana. One of Qiongqi's magic is the alienated ghost, which makes them enslaved by Qiongqi. They were the dead soul in their lives, and after death, they have to work for the tiger and continue to work for Qiongqi. Therefore, I don't know how many lives have been killed in these thousands of ghost caves.
"So that's it..." Everyone suddenly realized after hearing the words.
"However, in the last demon war, this place has been destroyed by the right path and the demon path, and the ghosts have been dispersed by Luo Xingyun, or by the monks of Xumi Mountain. However, after many years, I don't know what's going on in this cave, so you must follow me closely, don't be distracted, let alone be separated. ." Ji Shangxuan said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Everyone responded together.
After Ji Shangxuan finished his instructions, he raised his feet and stepped into the thousand ghost cave. The disciples entered one by one. Jiang Hanye naturally was also in the queue, and his feet followed Xiaobai.
As soon as they entered the cave, people felt a cloudy wind coming to their faces, which was different from the wind they felt outside the cave, and even different from the cold wind. When the wind blew, it was piercing and sad, which made people couldn't help but want to cry, and at the same time put them in panic. Medium.
There is a strong darkness around, but fortunately, at this time, Ji Shangfeng sacrificed a fairy weapon - the incense lamp, which dispelled all the severe cold darkness and panic and brought light to everyone.
With the illumination of the incense lamp, Jiang Hanye and others were able to see the situation in the cave. As expected, the cave seems to go all the way down. Although the entrance of the cave is wide, the cave is relatively narrow, with only about four or five people traveling in parallel.
"You five groups, move forward in parallel and don't fall behind!" Ji Shangfeng said in a low voice.
At this moment, the disciples still need the instructions of the masters. They have already stood side by side and moved forward little by little, because there is a smooth passage under their feet. Although the passage goes down, there are no stairs. The ground is smooth, and it can make people fall to the ground without attention.
Jiang Hanye walked forward carefully. Suddenly, he felt that he had one more hand, a cold but smooth little hand. He turned his head and found that Xiaoyu also came to him at some point and walked forward with him. At the same time, he also stuffed his hand into Jiang Hanye's hand.
Jiang Hanye's heart jumped for no reason. He couldn't help clenching Xiaoyu's hand and followed the team all the way.
The walls on both sides of the whole passage are full of paintings. I don't know what they were carved. Those murals are lifelike and painted are portraits. When I didn't look carefully, I thought they were all reliefs. I just looked closely and found that those murals were so horrible: some people's stomachs were cut open, but people still A living monster is lying on the man's stomach and enjoying a gluttony meal. There was also a painting of a person whose whole body was soaked in the oil pan, and there was still burning flames under the oil pan. The man opened his mouth and stared his eyes wide.
Jiang Hanye looked all the way and gradually found that this should be a picturesque scene of poor and strange cannibalism. Seeing this, Jiang Hanye also knew why this poor strange must be eliminated.
"It's horrible." Although Xiaoyu's cultivation is much higher than that of Jiang Hanye, she is still a girl after all. At this moment, when she sees these terrible murals, she can't help whispering, holding Jiang Hanye's hand harder.
This was not the first time Jiang Hanye held Xiaoyu's hand, but every time he held hands, he felt his heart beat faster. His heart seemed to not listen to the command and was about to jump out of his mouth and leave him. He tried his best to stabilize his mind, which made him not feel how frightening this thousand ghost cave was.
From time to time, there are one or two howls in the Thousand Ghost Cave. This howling is definitely not the sound of a beast. Everyone can hear it clearly. That's the sound that can be made by people.
"It seems to be a woman." After walking in fear for a while, someone finally couldn't help saying.
"It's a woman crying." Ji Yuan said.
"Does this poor man also eat women?" Another person asked curiously.
"Nonsense, aren't women human? Aren't there any good women?" Ji Yuan said, "You don't think about it. Just pay attention to the road around you. You should know that the ghost is everywhere and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye."
Hearing this, everyone did not dare to neglect it. After all, it was a matter of life and death. They took their magic weapons in their hands and were fully prepared.
