Mu Xiyun's posture did not change, he just blinked, the expression in his eyes clearly indicated that he needed an explanation.
Gu Qingqiao waved his hand and said, "I'm not that kind of man in golden armor, but one day, I encountered a dying 'dragon' here. Besides, it's not a dragon, but a dragon."
Jiao is originally a monster, and it is said that when the big Jiao cultivates to a certain level, it will turn into a dragon. But the nature of Jiao is evil, eating people and drinking blood is very cruel. If there is no great opportunity, it is rare to be right. What Gu Qingqiao encountered back then was a Jiao.
"It was the end of summer one year. I was chasing a bear demon in the opposite mountain. I was about to catch up, but suddenly it rained heavily. The mountain was muddy and slippery, and I accidentally rolled down a small hillside. Right by the lake, I saw that Jiaojiao."
Gu Qingqiao took the wet towel in Mu Xiyun's hand, took out a low-level fire talisman from his arms and slapped it on it, and the towel was immediately dry. The corners of Mu Xiyun's eyes curled, apparently remembering what she had done in the cave earlier.
Gu Qingqiao folded the handkerchief into small squares and handed it to Mu Xiyun, continuing to tell the story of the past.
As the senior brother of the Witch Doctor Valley, in addition to coordinating affairs in the valley and teaching new disciples on behalf of the master, Gu Qingqiao's main task is to kill demons everywhere and collect demon pills for the great witch to refine medicine.
After he came out of the valley that year, his luck has been bad. He didn't encounter a few demons, and the demon pills he obtained were also of poor quality. I finally found a high-level bear demon near here, so I chased it all the way and didn't dare to relax. The demon bear is powerful, and it is difficult for him to fight against it alone, so Gu Qingqiao adopts the tactics of attrition. He kept using low-level spells, making the bear demon feel restless and nervous all the time, running around in the mountains uneasy, while he set up a formation and guarded somewhere in the mountain, waiting for the bear demon to be exhausted.
Gu Qingqiao woke up from your dream that morning, checked the formation in the mountain, and found that the bear demon had climbed to the top of a hill at this moment, but its movement was slow, its breath was exhausted, and it was obviously dying. After waiting for a few days, he finally had the opportunity. Gu Qingqiao packed his things and immediately went up the mountain.
Who would have guessed that just halfway through the climb, there was a sudden gust of wind from the mountain, followed by pea-sized raindrops that swept across the face. Gu Qingqiao worried that the bear demon would disappear after the rainstorm, so he continued to climb the mountain despite the rain. No one has set foot on the rock for an unknown period of time. It looks solid on the outside, but it has long been broken on the inside. Gu Qingqiao had no choice but to take risks, and climbed to the side of the cliff by the lake with a few small trees in the mountain.
I don't know whether that day's luck was good or bad, but the bear demon couldn't support it any longer in the rainstorm, slipped and fell from the top of the mountain. The huge body of the black bear rolled down, bringing up a large and small rock and sliding down, and it was coming towards the ancient green bridge. In a hurry, there was no time to avoid, Gu Qingqiao had to squeeze a magic trick, reluctantly set up a protective formation to protect his body, and rushed down the mountain from the middle of the mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain was not steep, and the Guqing Bridge rolled over a few times before standing up and sprinting. With a few large rocks on his toes, he swept out horizontally, turned around the mountain where the gravel collapsed, and saw that the big lake at the foot of the mountain had changed.
The water in the lake seemed to be boiled, bubbling bubbles, and the turbulent waves rolled from the center of the lake to the surrounding, shooting several people-high water splashes on the rocks on the shore. Suddenly, a thick and long black shadow burst out of the water and rushed straight to the sky. It is a pity that it only rose halfway, and it fell from the air when exhausted, and the whole lake was like a churning cauldron, overflowing with water vapor.
The bear demon had no idea where it had gone. Gu Qingqiao hid behind a boulder and stared nervously at the lake.
The lake water was stirred so violently that everything on the bottom of the lake was turned upside down, and some fragments of white flowers were thrown to the shore by the big waves.
The water waves rolled, and the thick and long black shadow kept twisting in the water, rolling to the shore with a bang, until it hit the rocks.
After a long while, the lake water calmed down.
Gu Qingqiao carefully stepped out of the boulder and slowly approached the black behemoth. When you step on something "Kabbah", it feels different to the touch. He looked intently, and it turned out to be a human leg bone!
Gu Qingqiao was startled with goosebumps, only then did he take a closer look at the white fragments lifted from the bottom of the lake, and they turned out to be the bones of humans and beasts!
In those years, there was a famine in Xiangzhou, a large number of victims were displaced, and no one cared about missing people. Unexpectedly, so many people have become the meal of this evil dragon.
Black Jiao lied weakly on the shore of the lake, blind in one eye, with a few shreds of meat and remnants of mucus in the eyes hanging in the empty eye sockets, together with countless wounds on the body, both large and small, had been soaked white by blisters, exuding a thick smell A rancid smell.
Aware of Gu Qingqiao's approach, Hei Jiao opened a bowl-sized eye, and his turbid eyes were projected viciously, and a terrifying coercion was pushed straight forward. Gu Qingqiao's chest was stagnant. The invisible pressure spurted a mouthful of blood.
As soon as the blood spurted out, Hei Jiao's body shook violently, and his deep voice resounded like thunder: "Are you sent by that witch to kill me? It's really haunted!"
Gu Qingqiao was injured by him when he came up. At this moment, he was encouraging to fight against the huge coercion. He was speechless for a while, but he cursed in his heart: "What witch? It has nothing to do with Lao Tzu! This evil dragon has eaten so many people, today If there is a chance, we must peel him and cramp his muscles."
The black flood dragon was also seriously injured, and when he was alert to the arrival of the person, he released his coercion, but by this time he could no longer hold on. Gu Qingqiao only felt a sudden light on his body, the pressure dissipated, and the black Jiao's eyes dimmed a bit, lying on the ground and couldn't stop gasping for breath.
Gu Qingqiao let go of half of his heart and walked cautiously to Hei Jiao's head, holding both knives in his hands. Hei Jiao couldn't move his body, suddenly raised his head at this moment, the huge Jiao head smashed straight towards Gu Qing Bridge.
Jumping sideways to avoid the big head, Gu Qingqiao jumped up, and the machete in his hand slashed an arc of light, stabbing the only remaining eye of Hei Jiao. The machete slashed across the eyeball, and the mucus in the eye sprayed Gu Qingqiao all over. Hei Jiao hissed in pain, and his head kept shaking.
Gu Qingqiao's machete is too small, only suitable for close combat, but it is a little powerless in the face of such a behemoth. When he was rolling just now, he had discovered that there was a long tooth of an unknown animal in the skeleton on the ground, like a long knife. At this moment, he took a stride and picked up the long tooth in his hand. He poked in from Hei Jiao's eyes.
Jiao's head swayed violently, waving Gu Qingqiao together with the fangs. Gu Qingqiao was in the air, gritted his teeth and continued to press down the long teeth with his own body weight.
"Well, that's it, that Jiaojiao died like this." Gu Qingqiao said, spreading his hands.
"Then what?" Mu Xiyuan seemed to have gone through the battle to kill Jiao together with him, and there was still a trace of tension in his eyes.
"No more!"
Mu Xiyun raised her eyebrows.
Gu Qingqiao's eyes seemed to be dodging, and he said, "Don't talk about it, how many years ago it happened. Let's go back to the camp?"
Mu Xiyun stood up. Hei Jiao is alive, there is still such a big villa by the lake, and there are so many people, but the matter has not spread at all. After Gu Qingqiao killed Jiao, something will happen, but he doesn't want to say, Mu Xiyun doesn't ask.
The two slowly walked back to the camp, Gu Qingqiao went to talk to Deng Xian, and after returning, he took out a robe and spread it by the fire, and said softly, "Deng Xian has arranged for a night watch, but this place should be There's no danger, you go to sleep first. I'll watch over you."
Mu Xiyun glanced around, and most of the people stopped. He nodded and sat down, then whispered: "You will call me for you later."
"Okay." Gu Qingqiao smiled and pressed him to sleep.
The moonlight was soft, and the sound of the lake hitting the shore could be heard in the distance. Someone was talking softly in the distance. Mu Xiyuan was lying on the robe of the ancient green bridge, the nose was full of the fresh and clean smell of acacia, and she closed her eyes. sunk into dreamland.
Mu Xiyun woke up suddenly at midnight.
The night wind was blowing, the bonfire was very dim, and the young people were still lying by the fire, sleeping soundly. The disciples of Mount Qingcheng who were watching the night in the distance nodded again and again with their swords in their hands, unable to hold back and dozed off.
There was no abnormality in the surroundings, but Mu Xiyuan was sensitively aware that someone was approaching.
He opened his eyes and looked at Gu Qingqiao. He was still sitting in the same place, with his head lowered, but his eyes were very clear.
The eyes of the two met, and Gu Qingqiao narrowed his eyes and silently "shhh".
The two remained motionless, but quietly released their consciousness. Sure enough, after a few breaths, there was movement in the woods in the distance.
It was a few very light footsteps, the interval between each step was very long, and the average person only clicked the ground when he took three or four steps, and it was so light that it almost made people feel that the person was floating on the ground.
A figure came out of the forest. He was jumping rather than walking. The man was extremely tall, his legs were much longer than the average person, and he could go a long way in one step. And every step is to point the ground with the toes, and it will bounce high when it touches the ground lightly.
The man came to the lake in an instant, groped and knelt down, bent over and dug on the ground twice, picked up something, and chewed it in his mouth.
It was the pheasants and hares that the crowd ate and left by the lake.
"Who is it!" The voice of digging the soil alarmed the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain who were vigilant at night. He stood up with his sword and shouted in a low voice.
When the long-legged man heard this low voice, he seemed to be startled. He stretched his long legs and stood up, holding a few chicken bones in his hand, and ran to the woods in shock.
Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao are already ready to go, and they can go forward at any time. It's just that I don't know the person's intention, so I couldn't bear it for a while. Seeing him running away in panic, he immediately jumped up and chased after him.
Both of them were extremely fast, and the distance was shortened by half in a blink of an eye. However, relying on his long legs, the man reached the edge of the forest with a few ups and downs. If he was allowed to burrow into the woods, it would be difficult to find a trace. As soon as Gu Qingqiao thought about it, he acted immediately. A short knife shot out and slashed one of the man's legs.
A cold light flashed, and only a "pop" sound was heard, and the man's leg was cut off a little, and his legs were different in length. He screamed and fell to the ground.
Many Qingcheng Mountain disciples were awakened and quickly surrounded them. The long-legged man struggled to stand up, limping and trying to run away. Mu Xiyun quickly swept forward to stop him, and the long sword came out of its sheath and attacked him.
The man was hurrying to dodge left and right, turning back and wanting to run. Several disciples of Qingcheng Mountain have rushed to the front. The long-legged man was trapped in a tight siege, shouting in his mouth, but he was still able to resist a few moves. But in the end, he was outnumbered and pushed to the ground by the crowd.
Deng Xian had also arrived at this time and ordered several disciples to tie the man and carry him to the side of the camp. Someone had made a bonfire long ago, and under the light of the fire, the long-legged man finally revealed his true face.
