Chapter 1 Anger

Two hundred miles north of the Middle-earth "County Yongshan" is the tall "Huqi Mountain" (Note 1). Looking up from the foot of the mountain, I saw the rocks piercing the sky, abruptly and steep. It's just that there is no grass or tree on the whole mountain, which is extremely desolate. On the left side of the mountain, a river emerges from the depths of the mountain from the bottom spring water, which is called "shengshui" and flows to the northeast. There are more tributaries along the way, and the river gradually becomes larger. Three hundred miles away, it flows into another big river "Fenshui". Since ancient times, there is a kind of pale jade in this river, but no one has ever seen it.

The main hall of "Ghost King Sect", one of the three major factions of the Magic Sect, was built in the belly of this hard and heavy rocky mountain, which has always been known to few people. Under the leadership of Gui Li, Xiao Bai and the great wizard finally arrived here after 15 days of trek.

Because the big wizard was too weak, he had to go down. The three of them and the monkey Xiaohui had to walk. On the way, the ghost also hired a car for the big wizard to ride.

The long-distance hardships made the three of them sleepy and dusty, but on the big wizard and the ghost, they were completely different.

Gui Li's injury is getting better day by day, maybe it's a young man!

Looking at the great wizard, his whole face is getting worse and worse. It is much worse than when he just left Qiliteng in southern Xinjiang 15 days ago. His face is like ashes. Since he entered the mountain road, there is no carriage to ride. Although he was helped by Gui Li and Xiaobai, he still took a few steps to catch his Poor. Gui Li was so anxious that sometimes he couldn't help but be afraid: if he hadn't arrived at Huqi Mountain, the life-saving wizard would have died halfway, and he would really hate him for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, at noon today, under the warm sunshine, the three finally saw the bare top of the mountain of Huqi Mountain.

Stopped. Although he had not yet reached Huqi Mountain, Gui Li was still relieved. He turned to the wizard and said, "Senior, the barren mountain in front of us is where we are going. Walk a little further from here. Later tonight, we should be able to get to the foot of the mountain.

The great wizard took a long breath, looked up at the mountain range, smiled a little tiredly, and said, "Don't worry! Young man, I won't die until I see your sleeping friend.

Gui Li was stunned, and then apologized slightly and whispered, "Senior, I didn't mean to..."

The great wizard's old eyes were taken back, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, shook his head with a smile and said, "I have no other meaning. If it were me, I'm afraid I'm a little more anxious than you."

Gui Li silently smiled and said, "Senior, we have been walking for a long time. Let's rest here for a while, and we'll be on our way later!"

The wizard seemed to be really tired. He nodded, and with the help of the ghost, he found a relatively flat stone next to the mountain path and sat down.

"Squeak!" Xiao Hui, who had been lying on Gui Li's shoulder, shouted twice, jumped down and fell to the ground. Along the way, Xiaohui is the most energetic and never tired.

At this moment, the monkey looked around and saw sparse woods on both sides of the road. After shouting twice, he rushed in and lost his figure in a blink of an eye.

Gui Li glanced in the direction of Xiaohui and didn't care. He turned around and planned to find a stone to sit down and rest. All the way to this day, although the serious injury he suffered in Qilitong was heavy, he did not hurt his muscles and bones. He was getting better and better, but the wound on his right shoulder was still faintly painful. He gently stroked the wound on his right shoulder with his hand, and the figure of Li Xun of Fenxiang Valley flashed in front of him, and snorted coldly in his heart.

Just a moment later, behind Li Xun, there is another lean figure, dressed in white like snow...

Gui Li shook his head. He was in a loss and was thinking about it. Suddenly, Xiao Bai's words suddenly sounded around him: "Why is Huqi Mountain so desolate? I looked at it for a long time, and there was not even a grass or tree?"

Gui Li frowned and said, "It's been like this since I got here."

Xiaobai stood beside him, silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "When I left here, Huqi Mountain was full of green mountains and lush vegetation, which was definitely different from now."

Gui Li shook his head and said, "Then I don't know."

Xiaobai sighed, turned around and said nothing more.

Gui Li glanced at Xiao Bai and knew that she rested with the fox demon clan here thousands of years ago. She really had strange feelings for Hu Qishan, but she didn't know what to say, and with his current state of mind, he didn't want to talk more.

As long as she thinks that Baguio is in that mountain, maybe she will be able to get a new life at this time tomorrow. Thinking of this, Gui Li couldn't help boiling his blood and couldn't remember anything else.

The three of them rested for a while. When the big wizard recovered a little, Gui Li led the two to continue to walk forward, saying that he was leading the way, but in fact, it was just the big wizard.

Xiaobai walked alone in front of him, with a quiet face and silence, but he seemed to be gradually familiar with the roads around him. At the beginning, she also asked Gui Li, or waited for Gui Li to take the right path before she followed.

Later, it seemed that the memories of the past had begun to wake up in Xiaobai's heart. Naturally, she turned into a leading figure, with the people behind her, walking on the mountain road leading to Huqi Mountain.

I don't know when the monkey Xiaohui came back from the woods, with a few wild fruits from nowhere in his hand, grabbed it and nibbled it in his hand.

There is also a big wine bag hanging behind Xiaohui, which was stolen from the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. Originally, there were still two wine bags, but they drank intermittently along the way, and the monkey's drinking capacity was actually growing. On the 15th, he actually drank a large bag of spirits, and he was never drunk again.

On the road, Xiaobai saw that the monkey was always dragging the wine bag around. It was really troublesome, so he sewed a belt on the wine bag with a cloth and let Xiaohui carry it on his body. Well, Xiao Hui was even more happy and ran around carrying wine bags all day long.

Three people and one monkey, in this way, in the sound of monkeys eating wild fruits, each of them walked forward silently with their own thoughts.

The day was getting westward, and the sky slowly darkened. Just before the arrival of dusk, they finally reached the foot of Huqi Mountain.

Almost at the same time, the big wizard and Xiaobai's bodies were shocked. The big wizard seemed to feel something. He glanced at Xiaobai standing beside him and whispered, "Do you feel it too?"

Xiao Baixiu frowned gently. With her thousand-year-old spirit fox's way, this spiritual power and feeling are naturally different and extremely keen. Almost at the foot of Huqi Mountain, she suddenly felt that in this high mountain, under the seemingly ordinary desolation, a strong evil spirit was revealed.

This fierce anger, even her high Taoism can't help but be afraid. After feeling it carefully, she actually realized that there seemed to be two other depressed spiritual powers in the meantime. Although she was unwilling, she could only accept her fate and submit to the evil spirit.

In this mountain, I'm afraid there is a big secret!

Slowly put away the surprise on his face, and Xiaobai, who recovered his usual expression in a blink of an eye, looked at the big wizard. He didn't expect that this seemingly sleepy and dying old man actually had such a keen feeling. It seemed that the witchcraft in southern Xinjiang was really unique.

She nodded slowly, lowered her voice, and said, "What a heavy evil spirit!"

The great wizard was silent for a moment and nodded. The two of them looked at the ghost next to them at the same time, but they only saw the ghost's face with a strange look.

Between his sleeves, the blood-eating beads on the black soul-eating suddenly lit up, and the blood-red light kept flowing, and even the sleeve robe could not be covered.

Gui Li slowly took out the soul-eating and raised it in front of him. At the front end of the magic wand, the light of the blood-eating beads rose strangely, and the bright red light slowly emitted in circles, and the silk blood on the beads became clear one by one, which can be seen. And along his wrist, the blood-eating beads carried cold and slightly excited breaths all over his body.

Gui Li's eyes were deep. He looked up at the high mountain in front of him, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

That's a sign of blood-eating beads' extreme desire for blood!

For him, this is very familiar.

The ghost king himself stood at the entrance of the general hall of the ghost king, hiding behind the huge rock and waiting to be greeted. It is not difficult to imagine how much he valued the great wizard brought back by the ghost.

After the three of them appeared in front of them, the ghost king and the ghost Li nodded casually, as if they had said hello, and then quickly walked to the big wizard, looked up and down at the big wizard, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face, saying, "Master, your body..."

The great wizard smiled faintly and said, "The old and dying man should be like this. I'm here today just trying to do my part. As for success or failure, it also depends on God's will.

As soon as the ghost king bowed to the ground, he saluted deeply and said in a low voice, "The master is an outsider in the world, and I won't say more. The journey is hard, and it's getting late tonight. Please come to this cave in the mountain for a while. I will have a rest and consult the master tomorrow.

The wizard nodded and looked at his expression. He was indeed very tired.

The ghost king waved his hand, and someone next to him ran over and helped the big wizard in. Everyone got out of the way, and after a while, the figure of the great wizard disappeared into the belly of the mountain.

The ghost king slowly turned around. At this moment, the person standing in front of him, in addition to the ghost, there was a strange and charming woman behind him. As for the monkey Xiaohui, he turned around with three eyes open and looked at the people in front of him.

The ghost king's eyes stopped on Xiaohui's body, and then looked at Xiao Bai behind Gui Li. Finally, he returned to the young man in front of him.

"Are you hurt?" The ghost king said slowly.

Gui Li was silent and just nodded.

The field suddenly calmed down. The two men stood face to face, and the atmosphere was a little strange. For ten years, the ghost king has carefully taught ghosts, but there always seems to be an invisible deep gap between the two of them.

After the ghost king, there are Qinglong, Youji, and many other disciples.

Gui Li's eyes slowly swept over, and he recognized many faces, because many of them were he who destroyed the demon sect and received these forces under the banner of the Ghost King Sect. At this moment, the elders and others who used to be in the blood refining hall are also standing in the crowd.

Only that wild dog Taoist is not among them. I don't know if he is still wandering around the world with the fortune-telling Master and grandson of Monday?

The power of the Ghost King seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

The mountain wind blew, and I don't know whose clothes were swept up. Deep in the mountains, there seemed to be a black shadow, shaking faintly.

Gui Li withdrew his eyes. Although he couldn't see clearly, he knew who the person in the dark was - Mr. Ghost!

This mysterious figure seems to hide in the dark forever and hide behind the ghost king.

"Is this girl your friend? Did you bring it back?" The ghost king asked lightly, and there was no strange look on his face.

Gui Li hesitated for a moment and said, "She said it was your old friend and wanted to come back to visit you."

The ghost king was stunned, and this answer was beyond his expectation. He couldn't help looking at Xiaobai a few more times, but he couldn't remember when he knew such a woman. He was surprised and said, "This girl, have we known each other before?"

Xiaobai took a step, sighed, and then smiled and said, "Is she okay? Is it still the same as before, when you are in a daze from time to time, and you will see that you will be stupid when looking at a flower?

The ghost king's body was shocked, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face. Not only him, but also behind him, Qinglong, Youji and others who had been following him for a long time. At the same time, his face changed greatly, and an unbelievable expression appeared on his face.

The ghost king stared at Xiao Bai and said for a long time, "Who are you? How can you know the little... little idiot?"

Xiaobai's eyes fluttered. He crossed the crowd and looked up. At dusk, the shadow of Huqi Mountain was desolate and tall, and there was a particularly desolate scene.

How much time, slipping quietly like sand between the fingers...

"Do you remember," she said quietly, "Do you know the origin of the name of this mountain?"

The ghost king's eyes lit up and his eyes were bright, but the surprise on his face was heavier. He said in astonishment, "You are white..."

Xiao Bai said lightly, "I'm a white fox!"

The mountain wind blew over, rolled up the thin dust on the ground, and flew silently towards the distance.

In the secluded stone room, the decoration is very simple, with tables, chairs, beds, and simple furniture. This is the bedroom of the ghost king suzerain.

The only thing that is a little conspicuous is the red sandalwood desk placed against the stone wall, with thick triads of books neatly on it, a white jade pen holder on the table, a small wolf pen, and the ink on the inkstone next to it is still not dry. A little farther away, there is also a blue and white pen wash, which is bright and clear, with half a basin of water in it.

All of them give people an elegant demeanor, and there is no trace of the appearance of the master of the demon sect in the world.

Ghost King and Xiao Bai are standing in this room at this moment. Except for them, there is no third person present.

On the stone wall on the other side of the room, there is a gold drawing picture. In the picture, a beautiful woman is carefully looking at a blooming flower, and there is a pair of butterflies flying on the lace. It's just that the woman in the painting looked so carefully and attentive that all her spirit was on the flower, and she didn't notice the appearance of the butterfly next to her at all.

This painting is delicate, and the unique meticulous and slow stroke of the fine brush painting style has been fully exerted by the painter. The woman in the painting is almost like living, and her infatuated with flowers is even more eager to come out.

Xiaobai looked at the woman in the painting silently. After a long time, he sighed in a low voice and said, "Your painting skills are really amazing. The little idiot's painting is so realistic. When you see the painting, it's like seeing people."

The ghost king standing behind Xiaobai was also looking at the painting at this time, and the tenderness that had never been shown in front of outsiders appeared in his eyes. He shook his head silently and whispered after a moment, "I just hate that I can't save her!"

Xiaobai's eyes did not leave the painting, and said quietly, "I never knew that the person Gui Li was trying to save was you and Xiaochi's daughter."

The ghost king smiled miserably and said, "When the little idiot went, I couldn't catch up with the last time I saw her. Over the years, every time I thought about it, I was cut off like a knife. Now she has nothing left, only Baguio... But she is also..."

Xiao Bai said lightly, "She didn't see the wrong person. It's her blessing to choose you. I don't think she will regret it before she dies.

The ghost king is silent.

Xiaobai took a step, stretched out his soft fingers, and gently stroked the delicate and beautiful face of the woman in the painting with his fingertips, and his eyes gradually flashed with a faint crystal light, with a little sadness and a little pity.

Monkey Xiaohui "squeaked" and jumped on the bed. Returning to the ghost bedroom of Huqi Mountain, which it had not been seen for a long time, it seemed to have no strange feeling at all. It jumped on it a few times, and suddenly remembered something. As soon as it reached out, it moved the wine bag from behind, pulled out the plug, and drank a big sip of liquor.

After stopping for a while, the monkey took a long breath, narrowed his eyes, and looked happy and satisfied.

Gui Li stood in front of the bed and looked at the monkey's expression. He was speechless, slowly shook his head, sighed, turned to the door, opened the door and went out, and then closed the door with his backhand.

The corridor is deep and extends forward. He walked slowly in the tunnel in the belly of the mountain. Along the way, everyone who saw him bowed their heads to him. It's just that his face was indifferent, and he only looked ahead, as if a place was calling him.

After walking through the corner and the passage, the figure of the disciples of the Ghost King Sect gradually disappeared. When he came to the familiar ice stone room, he only saw a figure as silent as a ghost.

The black veil on Youji's face moved, turned around and looked at the ghost.

Ghost eyes swept over her black veil and fell on the stone door behind her. The next moment, he walked over without any hesitation and pushed open the stone door and went in.

The stone door slowly closed behind him, and Youji's figure remained motionless and stood alone at the door.

In the stone room, on the ice stone platform, in the rising white smoke, the beautiful woman was lying there peacefully, as if there was a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.

Gui Li leaned his back against the stone door. Suddenly, his indifference and strength seemed to suddenly relax, loosening little by little, peeling off little by little. The rest, only Xiao Suo's figure slowly walked up and sat down beside her.

"I'm back, Baguio..."

The light smoke curled up and floated up from the ice stone platform, making Baguio's body look as if it had some unreal feelings. Her appearance is so beautiful, and her smile is so warm. Does she also know the return of this man?

"You can save me, Baguio." His voice was low and slightly trembling, "Ten years, ten years."

"I actually let you lie down like this for ten years. I'm really useless. You must blame me... No, no, how can you blame me! You just smile at me at most, don't you?"

No answer, only a trace of light smoke slowly gathered and separated in front of his eyes.

"I will definitely save you, Baguio, you will definitely wake up." He said in a low voice, "We will be together, Baguio. We will be together for the rest of our lives!"

The deep words dispersed with the light smoke, drifted in the stone room, and then drifted gently, leaving no trace.
