Chapter 4 Ancient Temple

The evil land of southern Xinjiang is located in the vast extreme south of China. It is said that there are poor mountains and rivers, and poisonous insects and beasts are abundant. The most obvious place to demarcate with the Central Plains is in the extreme south, which suddenly rises like a flat ground. The tall and towering mountains are connected one by one, towering into the clouds, separating the north and the south.

Since ancient times, few people have gone to southern Xinjiang in the rich land of the Central Plains for no other reason. First, the road is steep, second, there are too many beasts and poisonous insects, miasma, and the land is too poor to farm. Later, I don't know when it began to spread in the world. In the endless mountains of southern Xinjiang, there were all kinds of barbaric aliens, who drank blood and were cruel and easy to kill. Among them, there were even horrible orcs who could eat raw. Since then, no one dared to go. On the contrary, the world was shocked. Day The mountain suddenly ran out and invaded the Central Plains, endangering the world.

However, in the past thousand years, there have been no rumors of barbarians harming people. Although occasionally in the border areas of southern Xinjiang, there have been several cases of strange monsters appearing, but most of them have died without problems, and they are gradually forgotten by people. Today, even the people living on the border of southern Xinjiang are probably only when their mothers coax their children to sleep at night and say, "If you are disobedient, those barbarian monsters will come to catch you." Usually, no one will ever think of whether these aliens in the deep mountains really exist, let alone thousands of them. It's the land of the Central Plains inside and outside.

Speaking of which, the 100,000 mountains shrouded in layers of fog are now forgotten by the people of the world.

However, ordinary people in the world have forgotten these aliens, but some practitioners have not forgotten. No matter whether it is the right way, as long as you are more senior, you will know that the reason why foreign people in the south have been unable to harm the world in the past thousand years is that the "burning incense valley" of the righteous giants is really a great achievement.

The towering mountains of 100,000 people are isolated from north to south. The people of the Central Plains are unable to go south, and those alien barbarians are also difficult to go north. But thousands of years ago, an incredible thunderstorm fell from the sky, and countless people within a thousand miles were killed and injured. After the catastrophe, someone found that in the towering mountains, the thunder force abruptly split somewhere in the mountain, revealing a dark path only three feet wide.

From that time on, among the 100,000 mountains, there were hidden barbarian strange people, who invaded the people from time to time, and the border people suffered unspeakably until the emergence of the incense valley.

Among the righteous sects, the origin of the incense valley is the most mysterious. As early as 1,500 years ago, this disciple walked around the world. In terms of the origin alone, only Qingyunmen and the magic sect in the world have a longer history than Fenxiang Valley, and even Tianyin Temple is not as good as it.

However, despite this, this faction has been extremely low-key in the past. Although there will be several profound Taoist people from time to time, it has little impact on the situation in the world. Until 800 years ago, this faction found a valley to settle down near the dark tunnel on the border of southern Xinjiang. From then on, it called itself the "burning incense valley", and in 800 years, there were many incredible masters, and its power was flourishing. Up to now, it has become one of the three major schools in the world.

Correspondingly, Yun Yilan, the contemporary valley owner of the Incense Valley, is also a righteous giant who is as famous as Qingyunmen Dao Xuanzhen and Tianyin Temple Puhong Shangren. However, this person has always been low-key, but his reputation alone is not as good as the above two.

Because of geography, Fenxiang Valley almost instinctively took care of the dark path called "black hole" in the local area. Since then, there have been no rumors of barbarian monsters invading the people. Therefore, in the hearts of the local people, the Burning Valley has a high reputation and is respected as a first-class immortal.

These materials are recorded in the Demon King Sect. Gui Li has also seen it in the past ten years, and now it is slowly found in his mind. At this moment, it was the third day after he went south after asking Zhou Yixian about the fishman monster. He hurried all the way and finally reached the vicinity of 100,000 mountains.

It was late at night. This night, the moon was in the sky, the clouds were quite thick, and there were not a few stars, but the moon was bright and shining on the world, which also made the mountain he was in, which was quite bright.

Gui Li stood on the hill and looked south, frowning slightly. Monkey Xiaohui was still lying on his shoulder, holding a wild fruit picked from nowhere in his hand, and was nibbling with relish.

Along the way, in the first two days, he still found the mark left by his subordinate killing monk, but today, the killing monk has completely lost the news. However, from the information he left a few days ago, the killing monks who are good at tracking have confirmed that the mysterious fishmen are rapidly going south, and the goal is obviously to return to the nest of southern Xinjiang.

Has the killing already clashed with those mysterious fishmen?

Gui Li sighed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The barbarians in southern Xinjiang are completely different from the characters in the Central Plains, which has been mentioned many times in the remnants of the Ghost King Sect. The people there do not know how to practice the truth at all, but there seem to be all kinds of strange witchcraft methods, which are unimaginable.

The murderous monk is not old and irritable, but he is really an outstanding figure among the new generation of disciples of the Ghost King Sect. He usually follows Gui Li, and he is really a powerful subordinate.

Gui Li was a little worried about this mysterious disappearance. But at this moment, he stared at the front, and saw that the night was heavy, and the dark shadow pupils in the south seemed to be some giant opening its teeth and claws in the night. It was the legendary 100,000 mountains. And somewhere under that mountain range is the legendary mysterious incense valley.

The border of southern Xinjiang has always been the sphere of influence of the Burning Valley. The disciples of the magic religion enter alone, and the danger is self-evident.

When Gui Li was meditating, he suddenly felt something. Looking up at the sky, he saw a lonely moon in the sky shuttling between the faint dark clouds, as if suddenly there were some strange things.

A dark red light suddenly appeared in the night sky. Under the brightness of the moonlight, it skimmed across the sky and fell down to a mountain in the south.

Gui Li stared at the strange red light, and his eyebrows gradually frowned. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He patted Xiaohui on the shoulder, and then the blue light under his feet returned, and the soul-eating flashed with a faint light. He slowly rose up with him and Xiaohui. He suddenly accelerated his speed and

※※※

I don't know when the night sky began, the dark clouds gradually increased, and the lonely moon in the sky gradually darkened. It seemed that there was a kind of dark and strange atmosphere unique to southern Xinjiang, which became more and more intense on this night.

The mysterious red light flew for a while and fell down in a mountain ten miles south of the mountain where the ghost was hiding. There are many mountains in southern Xinjiang, and there are also many vegetation on the mountains, but in the forest of this nameless hill, there is a desolate ancient temple. The red light fell in front of the ancient temple, and a flash of light shook, and a thin old man appeared.

He looked around a few times. After making sure that no one was there, he walked into the ancient temple.

Deserted mountains, desolate ancient temples, but some people come here late at night, and there are naturally untold things. After a while, in the shadow of the forest outside the ancient temple, the ghost figure slowly appeared. He looked at the unknown ancient temple, and then looked up at the sky. The dark clouds in the night sky are heavier, gradually covering the moon.

His figure shook and quietly swept towards the ancient temple.

This ancient temple has obviously been abandoned for a long time. The temple is full of ruins and broken walls. Even the main hall is extremely damaged from the outside, and there are holes everywhere. The night wind blew coldly, the broken windows squeaked and shook, and the low voice looked particularly desolate in the night, and there was a faint trace of strangeness.

"Boo!"

A slight sound, it seemed that someone had lit the fire, and a faint light lit up in the hall, but the light was dim, which could only light up the place in the main hall a little. The place a little farther away was still shrouded in darkness.

"Shut, sting, sting, sting..." Suddenly, a strange and inexplicable voice suddenly sounded in the hall. The sound was like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, and like a poisonous insect at night. It was numb and extremely uncomfortable to hear it.

Gui Li hid in the dark and quietly looked into the hall.

Under the dim light of the hall, in addition to seeing the old man just now, there were two people, one in his thirties, of whom was of medium stature, and the other was quite tall, but somehow, his whole body was tightly wrapped in a cloak, and he did not even show a point on his head, and that kind of strange The voice turned out to be that this person came from under the cloak.

The sound echoed in the dark ancient temple, becoming more and more strange, as if the evil spirit had woken up.

Gui Li looked coldly. It was also the first time he heard such strange words. Naturally, he did not know the meaning, but looking at the expressions of the other two people, he knew that there would be results. Sure enough, the mysterious man said for a while and stopped for a while. The middle-aged man who had been listening to him turned his head to the old man and said, "The patriarch said: This time he returned without success, but let our clan lose his hands and expose Xingzang. It's all your news. After hearing this, the Beast God King has lost his temper..."

When the middle-aged man said the word "Beast God", his voice suddenly became lower, and the tall figure wrapped under the cloak seemed to tremble.

The old man also frowned and said, "We originally agreed to inform the beast god king of the 'Heavenly Emperor's Pluto Stone'. As far as we know, the strange stone is indeed in the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven in the dead. How can we blame the news?"

He looked at the mysterious figure under the cloak, and suddenly a sneer flashed at his mouth and said, "I'm afraid you can't do it yourself?"

As soon as he said this, the mysterious man wrapped in a cloak immediately answered, "Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..." This strange voice said in a pile of voices. Although the ghost who was hidden beside him did not understand the meaning, he heard the sound was rapid and sharp. Obviously The secret figure is very angry.

The mysterious man said "sizzling" for a while, and the middle-aged man who translated in the middle gradually looked ugly. When he finally stopped, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying, "The patriarch said: Although they have never been to the swamp of death, they also know that there are no one there, but this time there are Middle-earth cultivation master, naturally, naturally, your news is wrong.

When the old man saw that the middle-aged man seemed to have finished speaking, he couldn't help but be stunned. The mysterious man just said it for a long time. When the middle-aged man translated it, there was only one sentence. It seemed that the mysterious figure in the middle had many curses and bad words, and the middle-aged man did not

The old man pondered for a moment, and it seemed that he still did not want to turn against the mysterious man, so he said, "This time, the birth of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house is a grand and shocked the world. I think those Middle-earth practitioners also heard the news, which is not something we can control."

The mysterious man wrapped in a cloak was still angry, and there was another strange sound. The middle-aged man listened, nodded frequently, and then said to the old man, "The patriarch said: The underworld stone of the emperor of heaven is very important to the king of the beast god, which is very important. This time, he returned without success. The king of "

When the old man heard this, his face was solemn and his heart seemed to be heavy, but a trace of sarcasm in his eyes still couldn't help flashing by.

The man in the middle continued to translate, "So please quickly inquire about who this gem fell into the hand, so that they can go and offer it to the Beast God King again!"

Gui Li, who was hiding beside him, suddenly moved his heart. Hearing them mention the Tiandi Mingshi several times, was it the strange stone swallowed by Xiaohui?

At this time, the old man pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is up to us. We will give you an answer within three days."

The mysterious man snorted, "Shut" and said a few words. The middle-aged man nodded to the old man and said, "The patriarch promised to meet here three days later."

The old man nodded and said something, but the mysterious man turned around and went straight out. He didn't look at them again at all. He was extremely arrogant and rude.

The old man's face changed. Looking at the mysterious man's back with an angry face, the middle-aged man quickly pulled him and shook his head repeatedly. The old man looked at him and then put up with it.

After the tall figure of the mysterious man disappeared into the darkness, the old man suddenly said "Boh" and scolded, "What, it's just a group of beasts!"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Uncle, don't be angry. Don't be like them."

The old man sneered, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to them," he turned his head and looked at him and said, "Speaking of which, Sun Tu, you have lived among those beasts for three years to learn their bird language. I'm afraid you've suffered a lot, right?"

The middle-aged man called Sun Tu smiled and said, "The disciple is kind to the teacher, but his qualifications are shallow. He is struggling to repay the Lord of the valley and the great love of his uncles. I happen to have this opportunity. I dare not do my best!"

When Gui Li suddenly heard the word "Valley Lord", his heart suddenly felt awe.

The uncle smiled, as if he was very praised. He reached out and patted Sun Tu on the shoulder, and suddenly sneered, "It's good for me to know that I have always been calm, so he sent me to meet these beasts. If the old guy came, it would be bad on the spot!"

Sun Tu smiled dryly, and his face looked a little strange. He answered in his mouth, but he didn't seem to dare to take the official strategy behind his back.

There is no doubt about Gui Li beside him at this moment. Shangguan Ce is one of the top figures in the "Incense Valley" in the south. Although he has always been walking around the world, he is famous for a long time. Especially in the battle of Qingyun ten years ago, the ghost king was even more clever. He sent Zhou Yin to pretend to be an official to plot against the monks of Tianyin Temple. As expected, he succeeded in one fell swoop and almost put the two major factions of Qingyun and Tianyin to death. At that time, Gui Li was still a Qingyun disciple named Zhang Xiaofan. When he was present, he was naturally impressed by the name.

Listening to the voice of two people calling the mysterious man to be a "beast", the identity of the mysterious man just now seems to be about to come out, but it is just a righteous and awe-inspiring incense valley, which actually reveals an incredible evil spirit at this moment.

The ghost stared coldly at the two people in the hall. In the dark, there was a cold and contemptuous sneer at the corners of his mouth.

In the field, the two discussed a few more words. Sun Tu blew out the candlelight in the hall, and the two walked out, as if they wanted to leave here. Gui Li frowned in the dark. When he was meditating, suddenly, a strange roar suddenly came from outside the ancient temple!

Everyone in the ancient temple was shocked, and the old man and Sun Tu stopped at the same time.

The voice was sad and angry, and there seemed to be a trace of panic in the middle, but it sounded like a beast roar, not a human exclamation. It's just a little argument. He immediately heard that the sound seemed to be from the mysterious figure wrapped in a cloak just now, and he couldn't help frowning. At the same time, the old man and Sun Tu also heard it, and their faces suddenly changed greatly. At the same time, they rose into the air and flew out of the temple.

Deep in the mountains, there are still people ambushing!

The moonlight is cold, as if the strange color is heavier.

※※※

Beyond the ancient temple, behind a hill in the distance.

A purple light bloomed in the night, rushed to the air, and then split down.

Tens of feet away, Gui Li actually felt the trace of fierceness. His eyes shrank, and he recognized what magic weapon it was for a moment.

The two people in Fenxiang Valley came like flying, but the old man's Taoism was obviously much higher than Sun Tu's. In just a while, he pulled Sun Tu down a few feet away. At the same time, he already had a dark red fairy sword in his hand and flew to the shining purple light.

Before he could fly to the back of the hill, he only heard a loud roar, with despair, echoing in the dark night. The old man's face changed greatly, and his feet were more anxious. He flew over with a shout, and the ghost quietly followed from the other direction and circled behind the hill.

A bloody smell rushed to my face. The cloak that was split in half slowly floated down from the air, and the dark red blood splashed everywhere. The mysterious figure who showed his real body was indeed a fishman, but at this moment, he was cut in half by life from the beginning to **, and the body fell to the ground, but the murderer had disappeared.

The old man was furious. The murderer killed people in an instant, and then disappeared. This Taoism is really not small. Although he thought that these fishmen were extremely unpleasant, he knew that the valley owner had a big discussion with these barbarians. This time, he was sniped and killed under his own eyes. In case he was investigated, it was really difficult for him to explain.

At this time, Sun Tu also rushed to the scene, saw the bloody image of the scene, and was stunned.

The old man's face was extremely ugly. Suddenly, he rose up. The dark red light was held under his feet and flew into the air. He looked around, but he saw that it was dark and in the vast forest. Where could he find the murderer?

Suddenly, he shouted loudly, "Which one is here? Please come out and see it. Burning the incense valley Lv Shun for advice!"

The voice spread far away. A moment later, in the mountains of Linhai, a faint echo came back, and it was everywhere, "Lv Shun asked for advice... Lv Shun asked for advice..."

Other than that, it is silent.

Lv Shun's eyes were about to spit out fire. After a while, he fell to the ground and said to Sun Tuji, "You clean up the body of the patriarch and take it back to the valley. The murderer will not be nearby soon. I will dig three feet to find this person."

Sun Tu nodded quickly and said, "Uncle, be careful."

Before the words fell, Lv Shun had already rose up and sank into the darkness of the forest. Sun Tu turned around and looked at the corpse that had turned into two halves underground. A bloody breath came to his nose. He couldn't help showing disgust and sneed.

Gui Li slowly retreated back, meditated for a moment in the dark, and then looked carefully at the surrounding terrain. Then his eyes fell on the ancient temple he had just come out, and immediately skimmed over quietly.

The night is cold, and the dark clouds cover the moon.

Although it was only a while, it suddenly seemed to be gloomy and dark in this ancient temple. Only the moonlight occasionally poked out of the black clouds would illuminate some places, but after a while, it returned to darkness.

Gui Li slowly came out and stood on the open space in front of the hall, staring at the hall with his eyes.

The cold wind blew, and the broken window made a strange "squeak" sound, whispering in the dark.

"The prince is really awesome. I can hide it from Lv Shun, but I can't hide it from you!"

In the darkness of the hall, faint words suddenly sounded and gently floated out
