Inner Demons

Chapter 26: Realm of emptiness

Views:

The territory of the void.

A dense white mist appeared in front of his eyes, and Xing Yusheng walked forward cautiously, like a blind man touching the dark, just walking for a stick of incense without direction, and a deep dense forest appeared in front of him.

Dark clouds covered the sun, and the wind passed silently.

A strange silence spread in the air. Xing Yusheng took a step and stepped on the dry branch, making a crisp cracking sound. This dense forest is very large. Xing Yusheng walked for a long time and saw nothing but unattainable old trees.

It stands to reason that most monsters like dark and damp caves, but only this dense forest can be seen in the mirror of the virtual sky. Is it because he hasn't found its lair yet, or is it simply living in this dense forest

Suddenly his foot stepped on a soft object with a hard shell, and Xing Yusheng squatted down to pick it up from the pile of dead leaves that covered it.

A huge, white snake slough appeared in front of his eyes!

Could it be... This monster was originally a giant python

Xing Yusheng threw away the snake slough and looked up at the thick branches and leaves of the old tree. He didn't know how long he stood there, when suddenly there was a rustling sound behind him, like the sound of a giant crawling past.

The only thing to blame is that it is too quiet here. Xing Yusheng held the startling salamander tightly in his hand, and kept a posture of looking up, motionless, as if he was unaware of the vision behind him.

Suddenly, he suddenly turned around and swung his sword!

The sword light flashed, and the giant python raised its head, half of its body was bent in the air, the snake's head drooped slightly, and a pair of light-colored golden pupils locked on its prey, hissing and spitting out fiery red snake letters.

The whole body of this giant python is golden yellow, with snake patterns all over it in the form of a net.

The ancient trees in the dense forest are already very tall, and there seems to be no end in sight. This giant python half stood up, and it was half as tall as the ancient trees! Xing Yusheng has no doubt that it can easily swallow a whole person with its mouth wide open.

Standing in front of such a behemoth, human beings are too small and fragile.

Xing Yusheng raised his long sword and said coldly: "Monster! Release the person you caught!"

The giant python's light-colored golden pupils tightened slightly, and it didn't know if it understood what he said, but it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bent over to rush towards him! It was so fast that Xing Yusheng could only dodge it, and rolled to the ground in a very embarrassing situation!

The boa constrictor turned its head, turned around and bit him without hesitation!

Xing Yusheng leaped, jumped onto the ancient tree, kicked his feet lightly, and leaped through the dense forest as lightly as a swallow with the help of external force, followed by the giant python.

Maybe it's because it hasn't smelled human beings for too long. It was very irritable and hungry. When it reacted, the snake body was wrapped around the trunks of several ancient trees and couldn't move. It could only open its mouth stupidly and stand leisurely. Xing Yusheng on the branch not far away bared his teeth angrily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xing Yusheng flew onto the snake's head, holding the sword in both hands, and wanted to stab him through the head!

However, at this moment, the snake's head shook violently, Xing Yusheng couldn't stand still, and slipped back from the snake!

The giant python twisted its head flexibly, and its sharp teeth just bit Xing Yusheng's shoulder!

It was ten times more painful than piercing with a sharp sword. Xing Yusheng cried out in pain, and could almost feel the shattering of his shoulder blades! The startling salamander sword burst out with powerful spiritual power, and slashed heavily on the snake's head, forcing it to shake the snake's head violently, and vigorously threw the prey out of the mouth!

Xing Yusheng fell to the ground, his face was pale, and most of his shoulders were soaked in blood.

The snake venom entered the body, and the feeling of numbness gradually penetrated into the limbs, and in the end, even the consciousness was a little bit trance.

Suddenly, the boy's bright smile, which was slightly curved like a crescent moon, flashed before his eyes. Xing Yusheng bit the tip of his tongue suddenly, forcing himself to cheer up.

Xing Yusheng was seriously injured, and the giant python was not much better. The blow just now was too close, its snake head was traumatized, blood was dripping continuously, and the air was filled with a stench of decay.

One person and one snake lay quietly for a while, and the giant python crawled forward first, wrapping Xing Yusheng inside with the snake's body bit by bit, Xing Yusheng wanted to struggle, but he didn't even have the strength to hold a sword.

The feeling of suffocation became more and more severe, Xing Yusheng opened his eyes wide in confusion, and opened his mouth slightly.

At this moment, the blood on the snake's head "ticked" and fell into his mouth!

Xing Yusheng was shocked, and the giant python's circling movements also stopped suddenly, and the snake's eyes tightened slightly.

The scorching breath rushed violently in the body, as if it was about to tear apart all internal organs, Xing Yusheng raised his head and screamed, his eyes were about to burst, and the veins on his forehead burst!

The hoarse and painful voice echoed for a long time in the depths of the silent jungle.

When Mu Changting woke up slowly, it was night and he was lying on a hillside.

For a moment, he couldn't remember what happened. Could it be that he drank so much yesterday

Mu Changting got up, brushed off the weeds on his body, got up and walked in the direction of Shouyang Palace.

He was dizzy, and he didn't notice at all that when his feet crossed a certain invisible boundary, the invisible barrier propped up in the air broke silently and instantly.

Back at Shouyang Palace, the senior brothers were so surprised to see him that they ran inside, shouting as they ran, "Senior Brother is back! Senior Brother is back!"

Mu Changting was bewildered, and before he reached the room, the junior brother rushed forward, crying with a sullen face, "Elder brother, where have you been! We have been looking for you all day and night!"

Mu Changting was stunned, suspecting that he heard it wrong: "What? I fell asleep all day and all night?"

Zhou Zhi wiped away his tears, and said with tears in his eyes, "Yes, the second senior brother said that you were drunk last night, he carried you back to the room and went back to sleep, how did you know that everyone found you missing the next morning! "

Mu Changting frowned, and said in confusion: "I... I don't have any impressions. Could it be that I was drunk and ran out by myself?" What are you crying for? Elder Brother, isn’t he back? He wasn’t injured, nor was he missing an arm or a leg.”

Zhou Zhi shook his head, choked up and said, "No, no, the third senior brother broke into the forbidden area for some reason, and the discipline elder was furious, and said that he would be severely punished, but, but the third senior brother's life and death are uncertain now, and the border guards are He refuses to let us in, and the master is not here, what should we do..."

Mu Changting was completely taken aback: "What is he doing in the forbidden area! Where's your second senior brother?"

Zhou Zhi shook his head, sobbing and said, "Second Senior Brother is guarding outside the forbidden area. I, I told Master to tell Master, but they refused to let Master, saying they would disturb Master's meditation."

Mu Changting thought for a while and said, "Well, don't worry too much. Master is at a critical moment, so it's really not easy to disturb. I know where Master put the purple gold token. I'll go get it."

Mu Changting turned around and ran towards Meijian Palace. This is the palace run by Qin Shuzhong, the elder doctor. It is rumored that he likes to be alone, so in Meijian Palace, besides himself, there is only one handyman disciple he has accepted. no one else.

When Mu Changting ran in, the hall was empty, and he shouted anxiously, "Elder Physician! Disciple Mu Changting has something urgent to see!"

A handyman disciple came out with a weak candle, "shush" and said in a low voice, "Senior brother Mu, don't make any noise, the elder doctor will get angry."

Mu Changting bowed to him and said humbly, "Yes, please help me pass it on to my junior brother. I really have something urgent."

The handyman disciple returned a salute, and said softly: "Okay, Brother Mu, wait a moment, I'll go see if the elder is asleep."

Mu Changting waited anxiously on the spot, and finally saw the handyman disciple come out, only to see him beckoning, signaling Mu Changting to follow him in.

Bypassing a huge plum grove and walking across a wooden bridge with a stream flowing, the handyman disciple stopped in front of a room door.

It was the first time for Mu Changting to come to Meijian Palace, and it could be seen that Qin Shuzhong was an elegant person.

The handyman disciple knocked on the door lightly, and a deep voice sounded from inside: "Come in."

Mu Changting thanked the handyman disciple, opened the door and walked in, a scent of medicine came over his face.

Qin Shuzhong was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it by the candlelight, coughing softly from time to time.

Mu Changting took a step forward, knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully, "Disciple Mu Changting pays his respects to Master Uncle!"

Qin Shuzhong didn't lift his eyes, and his voice contained a smile: "Just now in the main hall, I was clamoring to see the elder doctor, but when I got to the front, I called my master uncle."

Mu Changting smiled, and said obediently: "You are my uncle. Calling the elder doctor is for others. It doesn't seem kind to call you uncle in front of your old man."

There was light in Qin Shuzhong's peach blossom eyes, and he laughed when he heard the words: "I didn't expect that the senior disciple of the sect master is such a naughty person who can play tricks like you. Get up, what do you want me for?"

Mu Changting bowed again, and said seriously: "I want to ask my uncle to borrow something..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Shuzhong interrupted him, and said with a smile, "You want to borrow the Zijin Token? How do you know I have it?"

Mu Changting said with a smile: "Master often mentions Master Uncle in front of us, so of course Master told me about this."

Qin Shuzhong smiled inexplicably, and suddenly took out something from his sleeve, and threw it over. Mu Changting quickly caught it, and said pleasantly, "Thank you, uncle! I will return it immediately after I use it up!"

After Mu Changting bid farewell, he turned around and was about to walk out of the door when Qin Shuzhong suddenly said, "Even if you can enter the forbidden area to save him, you may not be able to escape completely. Even so, you still want to go?"

Mu Changting paused, smiled, and said with undeniable certainty in his voice: "As long as he is my junior, I will protect him for the rest of the day. This is my responsibility as a senior. Life and death will not change."

"Thank you, Master Uncle, for your reminder." Mu Changting opened the door and left, and the room became quiet again.

Qin Shuzhong sat alone under the window, slowly closed his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he murmured: "This seems to be enough for your master."
