At eleven o'clock in the evening, the entire Qingxi Gorge Scenic Area became quiet.
The boys put out the bonfire, checked carefully to confirm that there was no source of ignition, and everyone went back to the cabin to rest.
Tang Xi turned off the lights, and leaned on the recliner under the window to check her phone.
One by one WeChat messages on the phone are all pictures and texts that Cheng Yihang has just forwarded.
It stands to reason that the area discovered for the first time must have photos from various angles before the renovation. However, the young man did not walk in through the normal channels at that time. Looking at the photos, there was no road at the valley entrance at that time, and it was a slope. I rolled down with my feet on the ground, I thought I would hit my head and bleed, but I didn't expect that the stone wall I hit was empty, so I just rolled in, and the creeper vines that sealed the valley mouth were naturally torn apart. .
Tang Xi zoomed in on the picture, moved it a little bit, and barely made out the appearance of a little rune. Although he didn't know the specific function, there was nothing wrong with the original seal inside.
A person who rolled down a hillside with a disheveled face and possibly bruises found a beautiful valley and a small clean lake. The most direct reaction was to at least wash his face and hands, and even clean his wounds.
The resentment in the lake infected his body around this time.
Afterwards, the thing slowly woke up and began to eat. The young man with his own resentment was undoubtedly the first victim.
Looking at it this way, it's hard to say whether the second woman who jumped into the lake committed suicide or was tempted to jump by her soul, most likely the latter.
When there was a quarter of an hour left before twelve o'clock, Tang Xi packed up the things she needed and went out quietly.
She had already recognized the way during the day, so she didn't intend to bring Cheng Yihang this time, and walked along the path to the valley by herself.
The valley at night is eerily quiet.
The water of the lake is as black as ink, bottomless, without any waves, but it looks more ferocious than the daytime without wind and waves, like an abyss that eats people without spitting out bones, which makes people shudder.
"It seems that you don't want to resolve it peacefully." Tang Xi said lightly.
Yun Qi and Su Huang appeared behind her, one on the left and one on the right.
"What do you feel?" Tang Xi turned her head.
"After you got rid of the water ghost, there is almost no ghost energy left in this lake." Yun Qi replied.
"It also makes sense." Tang Xi rubbed his chin and pondered, "Because of the limitation of water, it is extremely difficult for water ghosts to become evil. There's no need to seal it up. But if it weren't for the ghosts, there would be more types of monsters underwater."
"Since... since then, the spiritual energy in the world is thin, and it is difficult for a monster to practice transformation." Yun Qi deliberately vagued a few words in his words.
Tang Xi glanced at him, didn't ask any further questions, but muttered, "I hope it's not too difficult to make, otherwise it will be too difficult to earn money."
As she spoke, she bit her fingertips, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it into the water.
Her soul is a great tonic for ghosts and ghosts. This drop of blood is saturated with spiritual power. In the eyes of underwater monsters, it is as eye-catching as the moon in the dark night. Sure enough, almost blood drops scattered in the lake. At the same time, the calm surface of the water rolled violently.
"I, am I wrong?" Su Huang couldn't help but rubbed her eyes.
"Don't worry, even if you were short-sighted a thousand degrees before you were alive, you will recover after becoming a ghost," Tang Xi said.
"What a long and beautiful tail..." Su Huang said, looking at her own tail, feeling discouraged.
Really, people are dead compared to others, and goods are thrown away!
"It sounds like you like your own tail very much." Tang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but kept making seals in the air one after another.
"That's right." Su Huang suddenly realized.
I have been used to practicing fighting skills with my tail these days, and I almost forgot that my goal is not to turn back into human legs? Led into a ditch!
"Okay, for a while, Su Huang will attack and Yun Qi will hold it back. As long as I draw it out, I will make it unable to shrink back!" Tang Xi said decisively.
"Here we come." Yun Qi reminded, before drifting back.
"You just let me and Xiao Xi, two girls, stand in front and fight the monster close to hand?" Su Huang glared at him.
Yun Qi ignored him and pulled out the jade flute from his waist.
"He's not violent." Tang Xi raised the corners of her lips, obviously familiar with this situation.
To deal with weak chickens, Yun Qi will directly crush them with resentment, but when the enemy is an evenly matched enemy, Yun Qi has always stood behind her.
"Also, isn't it my duty as the owner of the contract to be at the forefront during the battle?" Tang Xi continued.
Su Huang was taken aback, and murmured: "I thought the reason for the Heavenly Master to subdue the ghosts was to fight for himself and serve as a shield for himself."
"Maybe." Tang Xi thought for a while, "But I don't like it. Also, if there is a time, don't make up your own mind and use it as a shield for me."
"Why?" Su Huang was puzzled, "I've died a long time ago, but you..."
"Because I'm a human and you are a ghost." Tang Xi interrupted directly, "I can become a ghost after I die, but if you die again, you will be completely out of your wits!"
"..." Su Huang was speechless. Is that how it is calculated
"Wow~" At this moment, a black creature jumped out of the water, aiming at Tang Xi.
"Snake... no, dragon?" Su Huang screamed.
"It's not a dragon, it's just an evil dragon." Tang Xi was very calm, crushed a shell, and the opened protective cover immediately bounced back the black dragon's attack.
Well, the defensive artifacts of those two Xuanmen scum are really easy to use. After she pours spiritual power into them, they can even block the dragon's power, although they can only be used once. Of course, if it can be used repeatedly, it is an artifact, and you can't carry a lot of it on your body.
The black flood dragon completely left the lake water, entrenched in mid-air. The whole body is black, covered in scale armor, with feet under the abdomen, a bone bag on each side of the ribs, and countless fine old scars on the long face, which looks even more hideous and terrifying. If there is no horn on the head, it is a dragon!
"It's the Jiao who failed to transform into a dragon." Tang Xi added.
"That's also a half-dragon." Su Huang looked up at the black dragon in the air, and said dryly.
"Didn't you get overheated during the day? It's okay, just treat it as a deformed snake, and beat it!" Tang Xi said, raising her hand and hitting it with a Five Thunder Talisman.
"嗤—" Snow-white lightning struck Hei Jiao fiercely, and the aroma of barbecue seemed to be smelt in the air.
The black flood dragon was caught off guard, and his body was too big to dodge. His skin was torn apart, and he was immediately provoked to become fierce. With a roar and a flick of his tail, he rushed towards Tang Xi again.
"Crack." This time, the defensive magic weapon only hindered for a short while before it shattered.
"Yunqi!" Tang Xi called out, stepping back calmly, leading it away from the lake.
A ray of flute sounded faintly from behind.
The timbre is ethereal, piercing through spiritual consciousness, as if people can see the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges back then.
However, wisps of resentment flew out with the sound of the flute, wrapping around the body of the black flood dragon one by one, making it feel like it was stuck in a quagmire, and its movements were slow.
"Su Huang!" Tang Xi shouted, "Fight or give up."
Su Huang froze for a moment, a trace of sternness flashed across her beautiful face, and then she twitched her tail: "I'll fuck you! Do you really think I'm afraid of you, a little caterpillar?"
Tang Xi smiled gratifiedly, she was not mistaken, Su Huang was indeed a fighting type.
The beautiful snake in the air was fighting with the black dragon, and the sound of Yun Qi's flute seemed to fill the whole body of the black dragon with various negative states of slowness, stiffness, blindness, dizziness, and hypnosis. The ears are refreshed, and the recovery speed of both resentment and spiritual power is three points faster.
"Get up!" Tang Xi clapped his hands, and the seal that had been placed on the lake was activated, and he rose into the air.
Hei Jiao, who was twitching tails with Su Huang, instinctively sensed the danger, and would rather give up the delicious food in his mouth, so he wanted to go back into the lake again.
But Tang Xi had been prepared for a long time, the seal was arranged at the bottom, and the huge fishing net composed of criss-crossing runes almost covered the entire surface of the lake. The black dragon insisted on drilling into the lake, and almost slammed into the net by himself. inside.
"This is you throwing yourself into a trap." Tang Xi laughed, and with a twitch of his hand, the big net turned up, wrapping the black flood dragon layer by layer, instantly tangling it like a rice dumpling.
The sound of the flute turned from soothing to rapid, and the resentment visible to the naked eye turned into a second net and wrapped it up again.
Seeing that the opportunity was right, Su Huang immediately rushed up, claws and tail together, and cunningly greeted the place where the thunder talisman split the hard scales before the black flood dragon.
The black flood dragon howled in pain, its huge body slammed violently, and hit the lake heavily, splashing a canopy of water.
Su Huang is a ghost and won't get wet, but Tang Xi who is standing on the shore is not so lucky, she is completely chilled from head to toe.
"Oops, why are you so strong!" Tang Xi's complexion changed, and he grabbed the translucent spiritual power line with both hands and dragged it to the shore with all his strength. The bursting veins could be seen on the back of his hands.
When the black dragon touched the lake water, Bei Yunqi's flute sound hindered his movements a lot, and even the wounds on his body were smoking and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tang Xi cursed secretly, and drew the unhealed wound on the fingertips on the spiritual power line—the dark red blood beads melted into the net along the spiritual power line, and the runes suddenly seemed to have life. .
Light red, pink, dark red.
The moment the Lingli Net turned bloody, Tang Xi twitched violently and said angrily, "Smelly bug, come up to me!"
"Boom!" The black flood dragon that had already half-submerged in the water was actually lifted up, like a fish picked up by a fisherman, flung it on the bank with a "slap" and kept jumping.
Su Huang twitched the corners of her eyes with a look of horror.
My master is so cute, why is he so violent!
So, so, so handsome!
"Golden Crow Talisman!" Tang Xi cast two spells and exploded in mid-air, as if the sun's rays illuminated the valley like daytime.
The water stain on the black dragon's body was almost dried up in an instant, and the strength of his struggle was also weakened.
"Crack, click." At the same time as the sun disappeared, hundreds of resentment locks emerged from the ground, fixing the black dragon inch by inch, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.
"Thank you." Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to let go of the spiritual power thread in his hand.
"Bug." Su Huang angrily slapped Heijiao with his tail, busy arranging his hair, and complained: "It's really annoying, don't you know that you don't hit people in the face? Don't you know Ms. Courteous? You deserve to be sealed like this I haven't found my wife for a long time!"
"How to deal with this, seal it back?" Yun Qi walked over holding the sapphire flute.
"Inappropriate." Tang Xi shook her head immediately, "The current Qingxi Gorge is a scenic spot full of tourists. Even if the valley is closed, it is not like there are people like Xia Shuang. If you are not allowed to enter, you must enter. Besides, unless it is really Go to the Amazon or deep in the mountains of Northeast China, otherwise there is really no safe place to seal it."
Yun Qi was silent. When he woke up from the seal, he already knew that in this Dharma-ending era, demons and ghosts have long been crowded out by weak humans and have no living space.
"Things that harm people, just kill them." Su Huang said casually.
"Why? Why?" Hei Jiao struggled unwillingly, roaring, but the strange thing was that one person and two ghosts understood what it meant.
"It's because I win, and you lose, if you are not as good as others, you should admit defeat!" Tang Xi said as a matter of course.
"You bully the few with more!" Hei Jiao was very angry, "Master Tiantian, if you have the ability, you can compete with me one-on-one. If you win, I promise to submit to you and serve you as my servant!"
"Su Huang, did you break its skull?" Tang Xi turned around and asked.
"I said you don't slap people in the face, but I didn't say hello to its head!" Su Huang puffed up her chest, and went to pump the black dragon again with confidence, "Are you hundreds or thousands of years old, you and my master are singled out, right? Bullying the small with the big? Are you stupid? Double-standard dog!"
"Su Huang, have you been beaten stupid too..." Tang Xi supported his forehead.
"Huh?" Su Huang was dumbfounded.
"Your master, I won't be bullied even if I'm young!" Tang Xi glared at her, turned around and kicked Heijiao again, cursing, "Idiot! Do you think it's elementary school students fighting? Put yourself in a good position and say one, two, three, let's start!" What’s wrong! You don’t even understand the truth of success and failure, you deserve to be sealed! And what do you think you are? Submission? I want you to be an ugly monster, and submission is useless!”
"You are the ugly monster!" Hei Jiao roared, as if he had been poked into a sore spot.
"Listen to the voice, are you a male?" Tang Xi asked curiously, "A male who cares so much about appearance, are you narcissistic or gay?"
"What?" Hei Jiao was a little confused, "Build? Build a house?"
"Build you a coffin!" Tang Xi kicked a few more times, "What's more, I'm a celestial master who controls ghosts, let alone two, even if I bring a group of ghosts to beat you, it's only right and proper, understand?"
Hei Jiao was beaten to the point of crying.
In fact, it was quite wronged. The female ghost in red looked like she was beating fiercely, but she was actually the weakest one. The most annoying thing was the little boy in the distance. His flute must be the flute of curses! And although this little girl Tianshi's sealing technique is powerful, her blood is the main credit for being able to trap herself.
The incomparable sweet scent, if it was in ancient times, could cause all the great monsters to scramble to snatch the soul.
"Let's kill it quickly." Su Huang said.
Tang Xi let out a "hmm", raised her hand and squeezed a charm, and a small cloud of calamity gathered in the sky, and the lightning flashed in it.
"I don't accept it! The way of heaven is unfair! I don't accept it!" Hei Jiao roared.
Tang Xi's pretty face was unmoved in the slightest.
She doesn't know whether the law of heaven is fair or not, but she knows that she is fair.
"That...Xiaoxi..." Su Huang, who had been saying to kill him just now, saw the stern look of the black flood dragon, but said cautiously, "You really don't want to hear what it has to say?"
"What's so good about it? Do you want to listen to him being miserable?" Tang Xi disagreed, "It killed two innocent lives. No matter how miserable his past was, no matter how justifiable the circumstances were, it's not worth a 'killer'." life for a life'."
Su Huang's heart trembled, and the way she looked at her changed again. In vain she lived a long life and had been a ghost for twenty years, but no little girl could see the essence thoroughly.
"Which villain's childhood won't make a lot of tears from the audience, but does it have anything to do with him becoming a scum?" Tang Xi said indifferently, "Some people are depraved in the ordeal and complain, and some are in the ordeal. Growing up makes you better. Bad seeds can grow in good fields, and flowers can bloom in mud. Every choice is made by oneself, and the path chosen by oneself has to be walked on knees, even if... .”
"Boom!" The thick lightning finally struck down.
The black dragon writhed in pain, even with Tang Xi's spiritual power net and Yun Qi's resentment lock, it still uprooted many trees in the valley.
A series of lightning strikes on the body of the black flood dragon, causing more than bloody physical injuries, the most important thing is that the thunder and lightning contain the righteousness of the world, and each thunder strikes the black flood dragon's thousands of years of cultivation.
In the severe pain of being torn apart, Hei Jiao recalled in a trance that once, there seemed to be someone who said the same thing to it.
It's about "killing for life".
"Xiaoxi, it, it's shrinking!" Su Huang said in surprise.
The robbery cloud finally dissipated, the night sky returned to clear, and the valley was miserable after the strong wind passed through. However, where the black dragon was originally, lay a beautiful golden carp, but it was missing a piece of tail fin, which seemed a bit regrettable.
"Turned into a fish!" Su Huang's eyes widened.
"A fish jumps over the dragon's gate and turns into a dragon. It's so strange that it's a carp." Tang Xi collected the spiritual power net, and went forward to burn the carp's corpse, but unexpectedly—
"Slap!" The carp jumped in the muddy puddle created by Tianlei.
"Not dead?" Yun Qi also floated over.
Tang Xi bent down and picked up the carp. Suddenly, his mind was shaken, and pictures flashed before his eyes.
A long time ago, there lived a group of carp in the clear water lake, and all the carp knew that there was a dragon gate beside the clear water lake, which appeared once every thousand years, and stayed for only three years each time.
In the group, there is a very clever little carp, who dreams of being able to transform into a dragon and fly, and waits by the lake every day.
One day, two children from a nearby village went to play by the lake. When they saw a beautiful little carp, they wanted to catch it and give it to their mother. However, the little carp was very clever and escaped.
However, when it escaped from the child, one of its tail fins was broken.
Year after year, there were fewer and fewer carp in the lake, and finally, there were only seven carp left. The long-awaited Longmen appeared.
Little carp watched his brothers and sisters leap over the dragon gate one by one, and became more and more anxious, but the missing tail fin made it unable to swim fast, let alone get out of the water to leap over such a tall dragon gate.
The little carp screamed in his heart: Wait for me! don't leave me!
In the end, there was only one fish left in Bishui Lake, and the dragon gate was about to disappear.
The little carp was furious, and jumped out of the water with the last of its strength... It got closer, and finally almost hit the dragon gate with its head, and half of its body passed the dragon gate.
The dragon gate disappeared, and the little carp failed to transform into a dragon, and became a jiao, not qualified to ascend, so it could only guard the clear water lake alone.
The naughty children of the past have grown up, the love affair between teenagers and girls is young and sweet, and the quiet clear water lakeside is the best place for them to meet.
Looking at his ugly body, the little carp remembered the revenge of the broken fin, filled with resentment, and swallowed the two of them in one gulp.
Killing and injuring living beings, it finally became a pitch-black evil flood dragon.
Tang Xi only felt a chill on her face, and instantly withdrew from the remaining memories, but the little carp in her palm flicked its tail and splashed water on her face.
"What did you see?" Yun Qi asked.
"Something boring." Tang Xi replied and wiped her face.
The memory of Hei Jiao's life is nothing more than that, let her see these, what do you want her to think
Even if you can't transform a dragon into a dragon, you can still continue to practice. As long as you have a firm heart, you will succeed one day. There is a bone bag on each side of the black dragon. If she guessed correctly, the black dragon did not choose revenge but devoted himself to cultivation in the clear water lake. When the bone bag grows into two wings, it can become a Yinglong.
"Being struck by lightning and only returning to its original shape without dying is also unusual," Yun Qi said.
"Probably the person who sealed it had a little pity for it." Tang Xi regretted being woken up too early, and didn't see what kind of person sealed the evil dragon back then.
"Since it's not dead, what should I do with it? Can it be made into grilled fish?" Su Huang asked eagerly.
"Pfft—" Tang Xi was amused, "Its cultivation has been exhausted, its soul has been shattered, and now it is just a carp without intelligence."
As he said, he raised his hand—
"Plop!" The little carp drew a parabola in the air and fell into the clear water lake.
"Born here, let's stay here. The way of heaven says, sins are offset, start from the beginning, and it will be up to you in the future." Tang Xi said.
Just as the little carp was thrown into a daze, he vomited a bubble in a daze, as if he instinctively felt that the people on the shore were dangerous, flicked his tail, and dived into the deep water.
At the same time, a series of ripples suddenly appeared on the calm water surface, as if something had floated up.
"It's the body of the woman who jumped into the lake." Su Huang said happily.
"Well, the task has been successfully completed, and we can call it a day." Tang Xi nodded with satisfaction.
"However, why can't this place be regarded as a scenic spot?" Su Huang said.
Tang Xi glanced at the valley that seemed to have been ravaged by a tenth-level typhoon, and couldn't help laughing twice.
Suddenly, a mobile phone rang faintly in the distance.
"Who?" Tang Xi looked back vigilantly.
"Me." Cheng Yihang walked in from the valley with his mobile phone in hand, he was also taken aback when he saw the tragic situation inside, then jumped over a fallen tree and several puddles, came to her, handed the phone over, He explained, "I saw a thunderbolt here, so I planned to go nearby to check the situation. After it quieted down, Mr. Xia called."
"Talk in detail later." Tang Xi answered the phone and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Xia, good night."
"Is Miss Tang okay?" Mr. Xia's voice was a little nervous, "Just now Xiao Shuang has calmed down and woke up. I thought it was over, but I still can't get through to Miss Tang, so I can only call Yihang. "
"Huh?" Tang Xi was startled, took out the phone and glanced at it, and couldn't help but black line, "Sorry, I was splashed with water during the battle, and this unlucky phone is not waterproof."
"It's fine." Mr. Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and then said after a pause, "It's really thanks to Ms. Tang this time."
"It's okay, Xia is always my employer." Tang Xi said, "Miss Xia... are you okay?"
"For the time being, it's not too bad." Boss Xia sighed, as long as he remembered what happened just now, he would feel lingering fear.
Just as Tang Xi was about to say something, she heard all kinds of police sirens, firefighters, and engineering rescue sirens from the microphone. There was a lot of noise, and she asked subconsciously, "Is there something going on with Mr. Xia?"
"It's really hard to describe." Mr. Xia smiled wryly, "I originally wanted to invite Miss Tang to dinner at home to show my gratitude, but... my villa has been scrapped."
"What does it mean that the villa is scrapped?" Tang Xi didn't understand what he said.
"At twelve o'clock tonight, it started to rain suddenly, but I had already noticed that the weather was abnormal, so I asked the servant to seal all the gaps between the doors and windows of the villa with tape for three layers, so that the rain could not seep in. Then the kitchen began to explode—drinks The drink was thrown away a long time ago, but we forgot that there is still oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen. Fortunately, there is no one on the first floor." Mr. Xia said, pressed the microphone, and seemed to say a few words to the police, then picked up the phone again to continue "I turned off the main water valve of the villa, but just fifteen minutes ago, all the water pipes in the villa burst together, and now the whole house is a water curtain hole, which can't even be repaired. Our family is planning to Let’s move to the hotel for one night.”
"..." Tang Xi couldn't help being dumbfounded.
The black dragon's wisp of cockroach is of no use to her, but it is really unambiguous when tossing ordinary people. After dealing with it one by one, it can be seen that Mr. Xia's wrist is really powerful.
"My side is so terrifying. Miss Tang must face even more powerful enemies. You saved Xiao Shuang. The Xia family will always remember this kindness." Mr. Xia said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll talk about the rest when I get back." Tang Xi hung up the phone with a smile, and returned the phone.
"Then what should we do?" Cheng Yihang asked.
"Of course I'm going back to the cabin to take a shower and sleep!" Tang Xi pulled up her wet underwear with a look of disgust, "How many years have I been put in such a mess... Sneeze!"
"Hurry up and go back first." Cheng Yihang interrupted immediately.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid the valley of your home can't be developed." Tang Xi said, "Also, the female corpse has floated up. You should call the police and ask someone to come and retrieve the corpse."
"I'll take care of the aftermath, take care of yourself." Cheng Yihang said, taking off his coat for her, "Wear the windshield first."
"Thanks—Ah-choo!" Tang Xi rubbed her nose and complained, "It's a shame that I only received 500,000 this time. Do you know what's in the lake? It's a dragon! It's not a real butcher. Dragon, at least half of it was slaughtered, okay?"
"Turn around and deal with the corpse properly. I'll ask someone to seal the entrance of the valley. Even if this place isn't destroyed, I don't dare to develop it!" Cheng Yihang complained, with a little regret in his heart.
Jiaolong, it's a pity I didn't see what it looks like with my own eyes.
But judging from the momentum of lightning and thunder in Yanzhong before, if I really went in, I might not be able to get out alive.
Tang Xi looked back for the last time.
According to calculations from the pictures seen in the memory of the little carp, it is not far from the millennium now. Although the Dragon Gate may not appear again in the end of the Dharma Era, but... who knows
