Chapter 5 Merit

The gloomy wind was blowing more and more violently, and the clothes of Gui Li and Jin Ping'er were hunting. They stood at the entrance of the cave of Zhenmo Ancient Cave, watching the huge and strange fierce spirit gradually emerging in front of them.

The eyes the size of a copper bell suddenly opened in the white air, and a faint blood-red light came out. The huge figure of the fierce spirit shrouded over, and his eyes fell on the two mortals standing under him.

"Who dares to come here?"

The fierce voice suddenly sounded, which shocked the ears, as if the surrounding mountain walls were shocked by it.

However, after a moment, the fierce spirit seemed to find something. He was stunned for a moment, but his eyes turned to the golden bottle standing slightly behind Gui Li: "Is it you again?"

Jin Ping'er smiled, charming and said, "Yes! It's me. We met again.

The fierce spirit roared angrily, and the voice echoed far away, as if his roar echoed far away in the deep ancient cave behind him: "Why did you come here again? Do you think it was not enough to disturb the statue of the Empress last time?"

Jin Ping'er is calculating how to deal with this evil spirit. Judging from the situation on that day, this evil spirit guarding the ancient cave of the town is definitely not easy to deal with. It's just that she thought about it, but she still smiled.

Jin Ping'er was about to speak when he suddenly heard the ghost beside him say, "Did you follow the Linglong witch and go deep into the black tiger among the seven heroes in the southern border of 100,000 mountains?"

Jin Ping'er was stunned and turned to look at Gui Li, but only saw Gui Li's face indifferent, looking at the fierce and huge figure.

Almost at the same time as the ghost asked this, the fierce spirit couldn't help but stay for a moment, as if the name "black tiger" hit somewhere in his heart with a heavy fist.

Even if it is incarnated as a fierce ghost, even if it is abandoned by the world and waited alone for thousands of years, there are still some memories hidden in the heart...

"Who are you...?" The fierce and majestic voice seemed to be suddenly hoarse, and the scene that appeared just now completely changed.

Gui Li looked at the sound surrounded by gloomy ghosts, and his eyes flashed with complex and difficult light. He slowly said, "In those years, among the seven people who followed the exquisite witches, they finally went back to five people, and then established the five ethnic groups in the south of today's southern Xinjiang. There are still two people left, the two brothers who followed Linglong witch for the longest time, Black Tiger and Blackwood, but they did not come back. According to the legend of the ancient witch clan, the eldest brother Black Tiger is loyal and brave, and the second brother Black Wood is persistent. I think you are extremely respectful to this statue. You have been so tenacious for thousands of years. If you become a fierce spirit and don't regret it, you can guess that you are a black tiger, right?

The fierce spirit was silent for a long time, staring at the ghost. Under the fierce eyes, the ghost had no fear at all, and looked at each other.

Slowly, the dark and white ghosts around the fierce spirit slowly surged, and the blood-red color in the fierce spirit's eyes became thicker and thicker. Even at the entrance of the ancient cave, which was already gloomy and bitter, the temperature seemed to be getting colder and colder.

The monkey Xiaohui, who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, seemed to be a little uneasy and shouted twice in a low voice.

"Who the hell are you that you can know the past of the witch clan?" The fierce spirit's angry voice seemed to suddenly change, and there was indescribable coldness in his tone.

Ghost Li didn't seem to feel anything. He just looked at the huge shadow and said, "People in the world can't remember what happened for a long time, but after all, there will still be legends, which will be passed down bit by bit."

He looked at the fierce spirit and said word by word, "Today's southern Xinjiang, the descendants of the witch clan, there is still someone who remembers you!"

The fierce spirit's eyes were closed and he had not opened them for a long time.

Jin Ping'er stood behind, frowned slightly, looked at the fierce spirit, and then at the ghosts beside her. She didn't know these legends such as the so-called ancient witch statues, but looking at the fierce spirit's reaction, it was obvious that the ghost was all true. For a long time, she thought that no one in the demon religion could know more than her about all kinds of strange things in these 100,000 mountains. Unexpectedly, it seemed that there were hidden and unknown things.

She looked at the man's figure, her heart was slightly awe-inspiring, but her eyes seemed to be colder.

For a long time, the gloomy wind is still blowing coldly. Above the head, the dark clouds surged silently, the cold wind was bleak, and it was a desolate scenery.

In this silence, suddenly, the fierce black tiger suddenly looked up, looked up to the sky and roared, and his voice was sad, as if there were countless vicissitudes of life, all in this roar. When the roar was still faintly echoing in the distant mountains, he had turned around. The rumbled sounded as if it was a stirring emotion, but it was suppressed after all.

"Thank you very much!"

The fierce spirit stared at the ghost for a long time, suddenly lowered his head slightly, and said so.

Gui Li's face was expressionless, slowly stepped back half a step, closed his eyes and bowed slightly, which was a courtesy.

The fierce spirit nodded, and his voice had gradually calmed down. He said, "I didn't expect that there were still people in the world who remember the Empress and us. Hey, but when we followed the witches deep into these 100,000 mountains, how could we think of any eternal fragrance?"

The fierce eyes slowly turned to the mouth of the ancient cave of Zhenmo. On the statue of the exquisite witch goddess standing, his eyes also became gentle in an instant, and even his voice seemed to be much lighter: "But when you came here, you must not have come here to me, who is not a human or a ghost. Did Xi say these words?

Ghost Li silently said for a moment, "Yes, before I came here, although I had heard the legend of Linglong witch and the seven of you, I didn't know your current situation, and I didn't know that you would be here..."

He looked up, looked at the fierce spirit, and said slowly, "I'm here for the beast god in this cave."

The fierce and huge figure was shocked, and the name seemed to be afraid of even him.

However, the fierce spirit's eyes did not come, but still stayed on the statue and said, "What are you looking for him for?"

The ghost said lightly, "We are going to find him and kill him."

The fierce spirit suddenly turned around, stared at the ghost, and slowly said, "Just the two of you?"

Gui Li nodded slowly and said, "Yes."

The speed of the white ghost around the fierce spirit seemed to suddenly turn fast, and it seemed that his figure was also a little blurred. For a long time, I only heard him say coldly, "Yes, the beast god is indeed in the ancient cave of this town."

The golden bottle's body shook, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of joy on his face. Gui Li didn't have much expression of joy, but still looked at the fierce spirit.

The fierce spirit was also looking at him and suddenly said, "I think your clothes should not be from the southern territory. You think it's from Middle-earth, right?"

Gui Li nodded and said, "Exactly."

The fierce spirit meditated for a moment, and in the gloomy ghost, as if to see his expression change, he said, "Do you know why I guard this cave before?"

The ghost said, "I don't know."

The fierce spirit said, "Of course, I want to protect the statue of the Empress, but in addition, I am guarding here. On the one hand, I don't allow external forces to resurrect this evil, and on the other hand, I don't want ignorant people to enter and die. Do you understand?"

Gui Li nodded.

The fierce spirit smiled miserably and said, "But after all, I still failed to live up to the Empress's trust in those years. I was deceived by the beast and made a big mistake. The demons were reborn, and the world was ruined..." After the words, his voice gradually lowered. Then, the fierce spirit seemed to calm down and said, Thinking about it, no one in the world can stop this evil scourge of the world. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he was seriously injured and returned. There were outstanding people in the middle and local spirits, and there were even masters who could hit him hard, which was really unexpected.

The corners of Gui Li's eyes twitched slightly, and suddenly sneered and said, "You don't have to care too much. Although the beast god is defeated, the person who defeated him may not be better!"

The fierce spirit was slightly stunned. He didn't know what the meaning of the ghost's words were, but he didn't bother to delve into it at this moment. He said, "Of course, it's best to get rid of this evil. I've had this heart for thousands of years. I just hate that even if he hasn't You are from Middle-earth, and you may not know if you can do it. If it is really successful..."

The fierce spirit was so angry that he stared at his huge eyes and shouted, "I'll thank you here for my mother!"

After saying that, he slowly moved his body and gave way a road, revealing the deep and bottomless ancient cave behind him.

Gui Li stared at the depths of the cave, turned around, and took a deep look at the fierce spirit, who was also staring at him.

Gui Li nodded slowly, didn't say anything more, and walked in slowly. When passing by the fierce spirit, Xiaohui, the monkey lying on his shoulder, suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge body of the fierce spirit curiously, and his three eyes did not blink.

The fierce spirit suddenly shouted at the ghost's back, "One more thing, you have to be careful. On that day, the beast god did not come back alone. In addition to the evil beast glout beside him, there is also a demon. The Taoism is extremely high. You must be careful.

Gui Li paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the thirteen monsters under him have been completely destroyed."

The fierce spirit shook his head and said, "It's not one of the thirteen monsters. I've never seen that demon before. You must be careful."

Gui Li nodded slowly and continued to walk towards the depths of the ancient cave.

Then, the golden bottle slowly followed. The figure of the two monkeys slowly melted into the darkness and swayed forward in the depths of the shadows. Slowly, they finally could no longer see.

The fierce body gradually blurred, but his huge eyes kept staring at the darkness in the depths of the cave. Suddenly, he roared like thunder to the deepest dark place. The roar roared out like a flood, and even the cool gloomy wind went back for it. The hard rock wall roared like the sky and the earth cracked!

In the roar, the fierce and huge body slowly disappeared in the darkness...

However, while the fierce spirit disappeared, he did not notice that outside the ancient cave of Zhenmo, a black figure faintly flashed behind the statue of the god. It was the black wood that instigated the civil strife of the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang that day, took back the sacred weapons of the five ethnic groups, and reactivated the beast god

As usual, the black and wide robe covered the whole body of the black wood, exuding a cold air, but in his eyes, he flashed with extremely complex eyes, looking at the depths of the ancient cave of the town. When the fierce spirit also disappeared from his former eldest brother, he slowly withdrew his eyes, and again, it fell on the statue of the exquisite witch beside him.

In the gloomy wind, he also seemed to whisper, "Mother..."

At the same time, a team of more than a dozen people slowly walked out of the distance of the vast black forest in the distance of the Jiaohei Mountain Peak, where the ancient cave of Zhenmo is located. The first person was a woman dressed in white like snow, with a beautiful face. She had a blue Tianyan fairy sword in her hand, and her face was like frost, but there seemed to be some indescribable sorrow and vicissitudes in her eyes. Silently, looking at the charred mountain in the distance...

Middle-earth, 30 miles outside Heyang City.

On the road, after such a long time, most of the refugees have returned to their hometowns in the south, not far from the foot of Qingyun Mountain, but from time to time they can still see the ragged people trekking. However, there have been more peddlers in the meantime, which are much better than when the catastrophe happened a few months ago.

"The fairy pointed out, look at your half-life..." Suddenly, a loud shout rang on the road, breaking the silence here, which was very harsh.

"Financial fortune, official fortune, marriage, whereabouts; feng shui, face, measuring words, touching bones, all-enrich, omnisible, come, one only needs five taels of silver! It's cheap..."

Zhou Yixian held the "fairy guide" sign bamboo pole, strode over, shouted all the way, and passers-by looked sideways.

The wild dog Taoist behind him didn't say anything and carried all his luggage as usual.

On the contrary, the little ring behind him seemed to be stunned. He looked up from a book with a black leatherless cover in his hand that he had been watching carefully all the way. He was a little stunned and said, "Grandpa, what did you just say, how many taels of silver?"

Zhou Yixian turned around and smiled. The Taoist fairy style was like a fairy falling from the sky. He stretched out five fingers and said solemnly, "Five taels of silver."

Xiaohuan frowned and said, "But you just called three taels of silver yesterday!" Also, what's wrong with you these days? Three days ago, we were still fine as usual. Every guest who looked at the photo charged five yuan, but you were fine. In the past few days, you jumped up and rose to one or two. After one day, it became two taels. The day became three taels. Today, you just called five directly. Two..."

Xiaohuan walked to Zhou Yixian and looked carefully at Zhou Yixian up and down. Zhou Yixian was a little hairy by her. She stepped back and coughed and said, "What are you looking at, little girl?"

Xiaohuan ignored him, but reached out his hand to Zhou Yixian's forehead. Zhou Yixian was shocked, took a step back and said, "What do you do?"

Xiaohuan said, "Boh" and said, "You are the one who is the Shinto! I'm looking to see if you have a fever. You're confused!"

With that, she turned her head to the wild dog Taoist behind her and asked, "Taoist priest, do you think my grandfather has been a little confused recently?"

Because it was daytime at this time, the wild dog Taoist's face was covered with cloth as usual, but his eyes were shining and very bright. At this moment, he was asked by Xiaohuan, laughed twice, and then immediately nodded and said, "He, er, I mean, the senior is old, it is inevitable that it is a little..."

"Bullshit!"

Zhou Yixian jumped up in front of him and was furious.

Xiaohuan gave him a white look and said, "Grandpa, why are you so excited? I think what the Taoist priest said is very reasonable. Looking at what you look like these days, I'm afraid you're really a little confused."

Zhou Yixian didn't seem to be able to listen to the word "old and confused", and he was even more angry. He said angrily, "What do you guys know, how old are you and how much you know about the world? I'm not..."

Xiaohuan grabbed and said, "Well, why are you desperate to raise the price?"

Zhou Yixian snorted, waved the bamboo pole in his hand, pointed to the sparse pedestrians around him, and said, "Look at these people, and the people we met along the way, are they all fleeing people?"

Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is! Including us, so do we.

Zhou Yixian suffocated, his old face blushed slightly, and then pretended that he didn't hear it.

Xiaohuan said again, "Since they are all fleeing people and have left their hometowns, I don't think many people want to look at this matter at all. I also thought about whether the price should be reduced, but Grandpa, you are good, and you are desperate to raise the price."

Zhou Yixian put the bamboo pole behind him with his hands on his back. He sneered and said, "As you said so, I'm wrong, but do you think there are fewer or more people looking for us these days?"

Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment and frowned, but the wild dog Taoist interrupted and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that there are indeed more people looking at his appearance these days!"

Zhou Yixian snorted again, with pride on his face, and said to Xiaohuan, "What can you know at a young age? Let me tell you, under the great disaster, everyone may not have the intention of leaving their hometown. But this time is very different. The catastrophe is so great that it is rare for ten thousand years. The world is in great trouble, and everyone is in danger. No one knows whether they can still live tomorrow? Under this vision, isn't it everyone's eager to guide them like I, an immortal?

Xiaohuan lowered his head and meditated. After a long time, he slowly shook his head and sighed, but there was a trace of loss on his face.

The wild dog Taoist was still a little confused and couldn't help saying, "Then why do you keep raising the price?"

Zhou Yi turned his eyes and said, "How can I teach you such profound knowledge!"

The wild dog Taoist touched a nail and shrank back, but only listened to the little ring beside him and sighed, "I understand this a little now."

The wild dog Taoist and Zhou Yixian were both surprised. Zhou Yixian said, "Oh, why don't you talk about it?"

Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "It's nothing more than that you expected that everyone in the world was panicked and couldn't care about their own lives. How many people cherish the property outside? On the contrary, the more you mention, the more ordinary people think that this is humane and profound, which is extraordinary... I didn't believe these in the first place. I thought that such a little trick could be seen by idiots. Unexpectedly, there are still many people who can't see.

Zhou Yixian shook his head and said, "You're wrong, Xiaohuan."

Xiaohuan was stunned and said, "What?"

Zhou Yixian said, "You're right before, it's just the last sentence, but it's not that they can't see it, it's just that they can't see it themselves."

The wild dog Taoist listened confusedly and said, "What can't you see?"

Zhou Yixian looked at the people who staggered around him and said, "How can the world be full of stupid people? It's just a matter of life and death, but I don't know how many people refuse to believe in themselves and would rather listen to the comfort of others. I point out to them, and most of what I say is about the rest of my life, which will be much better than today's situation. With this said, they paid a lot of money, and they were relieved.

Xiaohuan suddenly said, "Grandpa, did you really say it from the perspective ofxiang shu, or did you say it to them randomly?"

Zhou Yixian smiled and said, "I'm talking nonsense."

Xiaohuan looked at the wild dog Taoist and couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhou Yixian looked up at the sky, looked at the leisurely sky, stared at it for a long time, and said leisurely, "Such a catastrophe is inseparable, otherwise the way of heaven will not tolerate it."

At this point, he turned around and smiled and said, "In this case, the future will naturally be much better than the days when I don't know life and death now. I'm not lying! On the contrary, I came all the way to comfort and advised countless displaced people, and I don't know how many people have been reborn and rekindled under my words. How can it be done by those monks and Taoists who huddled in the temple all day long to praise the scriptures and recite the Buddha?

He reached out his hand and patted the head of the small ring. His face was fairy-like, righteous and awe-inspiring. He had the feeling of the old man's compassion for saving the world. He went to hell alone to save the world's life. He received a lot of silver of white flowers, which was also the place of great righteousness

He then sighed, "Life is really lonely..."

......

For a moment, there was silence, and there was silence everywhere.

Zhou Yixian frowned, took his eyes back from the high sky, and looked around.

......

"Hey, you two, why are you walking so fast..."
