Gui Li threw the dead gray dolphin in the corner of the wall, and looked carefully at the entrance of the cave where the gray dolphin was located, and sure enough, he found a very thin thread pulled out from the hole, connected to a bell in the distance. Presumably in the past few days, he and Jin Ping'er failed to sneak in many times, but they were all discovered by this little gray dolphin.
He once read the records in the fragmented volume "Strange Stories of Gods and Demons" in the secret collection of the Ghost King School. The gray dolphin's nose is extremely sensitive, far better than ordinary things in the world. This little beast was discovered.
It's just that although he figured out this joint, Gui Li frowned immediately, standing in the dark corner of the wall, pondering for a while. Although the gray dolphin is not an ancient divine beast, it is rare in the world. It has always been heard that it can only be found in a forest deep in the southern border's 100,000 mountains. There is actually this beast in Fenxiang Valley, and judging from the fact that I tried to enter Fenxiang Valley from many places in the past few days, but was found without exception, there are quite a few gray dolphins in Fenxiang Valley, which is really surprising.
But the most important thing is to domesticate these many gray dolphins to such an extent at the same time. This kind of beast-controlling skill, not to mention the righteous way of the Central Plains, is unheard of even in the Demon Cult. Different art!
Gui Li raised his eyes and turned around, looked forward, and suddenly found that amidst the noise in the distance, the depths of Fenxiang Valley was still peaceful, and the deep darkness shrouded it like a black curtain, and he didn't know how many secrets were hidden.
※※※
The din at the entrance of the valley gradually quieted down, and only loud voices could be heard in the distance, but the fighting sounds had all disappeared. It seemed that the Fenxiang Valley side had gradually controlled the situation.
I don't know who it is that dares to provoke Fenxiang Valley so openly? Gui Li withdrew his gaze towards the entrance of the valley, Jin Ping'er's figure flashed in his mind, this mysterious and seductive woman is probably still in that chaos at this moment!
At this moment, Ghost Li has penetrated into Fenxiang Valley from the hidden corner just now. Along the way, there were no more alarm bells caused by gray dolphins. I think that Fenxiang Valley probably distributed these small beasts with a keen sense of smell around the edges of the valley. Once they reached the middle of the valley, they didn't have to worry about them.
The night was dark, and the valley that had just calmed down from the noise seemed particularly deep. As the ghostly figure of Ghost Li wandered along the paths of the pavilions in the valley, the world under the shady scenes gradually revealed itself.
Fenxiang Valley is known as the pillar of the world's righteous way. Although it keeps a low profile on weekdays, it is a big sect that has flourished for 800 years. What gradually emerged along the way is the foundation of this sect.
Under the darkness of night, there are only a dozen or so pathways, large or small, connected to each other, spreading out like blood vessels of a human body, and going deep into the darkness deep in Fenxiang Valley. On both sides of the road, there are ordinary disciples' residences, or tall and majestic palaces. Among these buildings, there are mostly flowers and trees, including green bamboos and plum blossoms, and bright and magnificent peonies and peonies. The halls are integrated into one, each with its own flavor.
Because of this noise, even though it was late at night, there were still Fenxianggu disciples walking around here from time to time, Ghost Li had to carefully hide his body to avoid revealing his whereabouts. But looking at the expressions on the faces of these disciples, they seemed to be very calm. Without the surprise and shock at the beginning of the uproar, they knew that the situation at the entrance of the valley was settled.
The movement of these few Fenxianggu disciples naturally does not trouble Gui Li. For ten years, he has practiced the true Dharma of the three schools of Buddha, Demon, and Taoism. Based on the weird and magical heavenly scripts, the radical speed of his Taoism is unimaginable. Even the knowledgeable and talented The ghost king was also amazed, and couldn't figure it out, but in the end he could only attribute it to the principle of fellow practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism. Maybe there is a mystery of secret harmony and improvement.
It's just that Gui Li hides in the dark, although he doesn't pay attention to these ordinary Fenxianggu disciples, the dozen or so roads in front of him really give him a headache, he doesn't know where to go. This time he sneaked into Fenxiang Valley secretly, based on his selfish intentions, he wanted to find out what secrets there were in Fenxiang Valley, and it was best to find out the relationship with those southern barbarians.
To know this, it is natural to go to the places where the important people are in Fenxiang Valley, but the paths in front of them look like a maze, which is really a headache.
Just when Gui Li frowned and pondered, considering whether to arrest a Fenxianggu disciple for torture, suddenly there was a movement on his shoulder, and Xiao Hui groaned softly in his ear.
Ghost Li was taken aback, turned his head to look, and couldn't help being shocked. I saw the monkey Xiaohui clutching his clothes tightly with his hands, the monkey's face was distorted and his eyes were closed tightly, it seemed to be in pain, but it was psychic and human after all, knowing that this was not the right time, so he endured it.
Ghost Li's shock was no small matter, for some reason, since entering the valley just now, Xiao Hui seemed to have something wrong, at this moment, it seemed to be in some great pain in its body.
Reaching out his hand to gently hug Xiao Hui, Ghost Li looked at it carefully, only felt the monkey's body trembling slightly in his palm, obviously it was trying its best to resist the unknown pain. Gui Li was even more worried, and whispered: "What's the matter, Xiao Hui?"
As if hearing what the master said, Little Gray tilted his head and slowly opened his eyes.
The golden light with a hint of dark red, like a ghostly fire in the night, even more like a strange magic pupil under the Nine Netherworld, appeared in front of Ghost Li.
The surrounding temperature seemed to suddenly cool down.
Xiao Hui's breathing sound began to increase slowly, Gui Li clearly felt that the monkey's claws holding onto his own hands were getting stronger and stronger, and the claws were deeply embedded in the muscles.
The monkey's mouth slowly opened and closed, but the weird golden light in its eyes was staring at Ghost Li tightly, never relaxing for a moment. From there, Gui Li suddenly felt a trace of familiar, blood-thirsty eyes like when he was crazy before...
In an instant, Gui Li suddenly felt his whole body was icy cold, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards his hand. Inside the sleeve robe, at an unknown time, the Blood-devouring Orb above the top of the Soul-devouring Bead gave off a faint green glow with a hint of blood.
Blood-devouring beads!
The most vicious and evil thing in this world is so weird...
As if it suddenly came out from the depths of his heart, Gui Li only felt a bitter taste in his mouth for an instant, he turned his head in a daze, and looked at Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui also seemed to feel something, and cried out twice.
Gui Li regained his composure, and then found that behind the golden light in Xiao Hui's eyes, there seemed to be a trace of panic. He took a deep breath, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "It's okay."
Xiao Hui seemed to understand the master's words, blinked his eyes, and slowly closed them. After a while, it seemed that the inexplicable pain gradually subsided, and the strength on Xiao Hui's claws also gradually weakened.
Gui Li stood in the darkness, slowly hugging Xiao Hui in his arms.
The night is as cold as water.
There was darkness ahead, and the figures of a man and a monkey flickered lightly in the dark corner of the night.
※※※
After standing for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Hui seemed to have fallen asleep, quietly lying in Gui Li's arms. But Gui Li didn't care that this is the dangerous place of Fenxiang Valley, he stood in the darkness and gently hugged the monkey.
Suddenly, Xiao Hui in his arms moved and raised his head. Gui Li looked down, and saw that the golden light in the monkey's eyes had disappeared, and changed into its usual lively and lively appearance.
Gui Li's heart softened, but before he could say anything, Xiao Hui seemed to struggle a bit, then he pointed to a road outside with his arm. Gui Li was startled, looked up, after a while, sure enough, two people came from that road, but they were people that Gui Li recognized.
Li Xun and Yan Hong.
Gui Li frowned, he had known these two people ten years ago, they were both extremely outstanding talents. Although the world has changed in the past ten years and we will not see each other again, for a cultivator, ten years is like a snap of a finger. The look and appearance of the two of them are almost exactly the same as ten years ago, just looking at their gestures, I am afraid that their skills are not comparable to those of the past.
I saw the two of them walking slowly, seeming to be talking to each other. When he got closer, he only heard Yan Hong say: "Brother, why did those monsters suddenly rush in?"
Li Xun frowned, obviously not quite understanding. But looking at his serious face, he said coldly: "Those uncivilized beasts, who knows what they are thinking! If I say that these murlocs dare to invade the valley, I have to make them come and go. Why bother?" Are you going to trouble Uncle Shangguan?"
Yan Hong said softly: "Senior brother, don't be angry, the owner of the valley is far-sighted, there must be something we can't know about this matter for the time being. When negotiating with these barbarians, it was Master Shangguan who used his supernatural powers to frighten him. As a heavenly man, as long as the old man comes forward, those monsters will leave obediently. Guzhu asked us to invite Master Shangguan to come out, presumably for this reason."
Li Xun snorted, and said, "Of course I know this, but I don't understand why we, the Lord of Fenxiang Valley, need to be humble to these monsters, and now we have to ask Uncle Shangguan to come forward. If this matter gets out, we Hasn't Fenxiang Valley become the laughing stock of righteousness in the world?"
Yan Hong smiled and said: "Senior brother, I think these barbarians still have something to use, so the owner of the valley tolerated them three points. Wait until the future..." She suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Li Xun with her eyes, as if There are thousands of words.
The corner of Li Xun's mouth twitched, and there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction on his handsome face, but when viewed from a distance, it was even more chic. But he didn't say anything more, just sighed softly, and Yan Hong walked slowly up a side path, and disappeared into the night after a while.
In the shadows, a pair of sharp eyes looked at their backs. Gui Li's thoughts turned sharply, it turned out that those who invaded Fenxiang Valley tonight were actually those alien murlocs that he was chasing. Recalling that night three days ago, I heard Lu Shun talking to that murloc in the dark, and that tall murloc seemed to be the head of the clan.
It seems that what happened tonight was mostly caused by the murder of the murloc clan leader by Jin Ping'er, and the rest of the murloc clan came to take revenge in anger. Thinking of this, Gui Li couldn't help but flash the figure of Jin Ping'er in his heart, and he became more vigilant towards this woman.
He stood in the shadow for a moment, then seemed to have made a decision, and looked at Xiao Hui in his arms. Little Hui blinked his eyes, moved his body suddenly, jumped onto his shoulder, grinned, and seemed to have fully recovered.
Gui Li felt relieved, smiled lightly, and said: "Let's go and see who that Shangguan Shishu is, how about that?"
Xiao Hui yelled "Zhi Zhi" twice, waved his monkey hand, but pointed to the path that Li Xun and Yan Hong were walking on.
Gui Li smiled silently in the darkness, his figure rose suddenly, like a ghost, and went to that secluded path.
In the distance, a disciple of Fenxiang Valley was walking towards here, and suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if a ghost had flashed by on the road leading to the "Xuanhuo Altar" in the middle of the valley, and when he looked carefully, he saw nothing. did not see it. He couldn't help being startled for a moment, then shook his head, muttered something, and continued walking forward, not taking this matter to heart.
※※※
The path is secluded, but this road is unexpectedly long. Obviously, the place where the uncle Shangguan is located is very secluded. Ghost Li didn't go very far on this road, and there were no other houses around. There were trees and flowers on both sides of the road. When the night wind blew, under the light of the moon in the sky, the shadows of the trees were whirling, looking like It was like a flurry of demons, revealing a trace of weirdness.
Gui Li carefully walked along this path, walked for a while, but did not see any fork in the road like outside, it seems that this road directly leads to the place where the Shangguan Shishu is.
Fenxiang Valley occupies a huge area, and this trail looks winding and winding, leading to the depths of the valley.
Suddenly, a white square object suddenly appeared by the side of the road ahead, Gui Li's eyes were fixed, and he looked intently, but it was a stone tablet with two lines of characters engraved on it:
〖Heavy place of profound fire
Disciple stop〗
Gui Li frowned, not hesitating because there might be some mysterious place in Fenxiang Valley, but because the word "Xuanhuo" quietly touched a place in his heart.
He couldn't help but glanced at his right arm, under the clothes, "Xuan Huo Jian" was lying quietly on his arm.
He was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and walked past the stele.
Although the stone tablet looked ordinary, it seemed to be a dividing line. After passing the stone tablet, for some reason, although the trail continued to bend forward, the trees and flowers on both sides of the road were obviously much scarcer.
First, the grass on the ground gradually disappeared, then the low shrubs, and finally even the dense trees on both sides gradually became sparse. Not to mention that the ground began to crack, even the few remaining trees had turned yellow withered bodies and branches. It seemed that the surrounding area was extremely short of water and the land was scorched.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the word "Xuanhuo"
Xiao Hui on the shoulder let out a low cry, and moved his body, as if he was a little uneasy. Ghost Li patted its body lightly, and Xiao Hui gradually calmed down. The surrounding scene right now is indeed very strange, but it doesn't look like there is anything important in Fenxiang Valley, otherwise, during this journey, even a guard disciple would not have been seen.
With thoughts in his mind, Gui Li walked along the trail and turned the last corner.
Suddenly, as determined as he was, he couldn't help being shocked, a large open space appeared in front of him, and a heat wave came from nowhere.
In the center of the open space is a huge circular altar, the bottom of which is suspended in the air, and thirteen huge stone pillars made of white jade with a height of three feet support the entire altar. Among them, there are twelve white jade stone pillars on the edge of the altar, each of which is as thick as two people hugging, and the thickest white jade stone pillar in the middle of the altar, it seems that at least five or six people can hug it.
And above the altar, all the buildings are built with a strange red stone, the steps and railings are all like this. In the center of the altar stands a tall and majestic hall, which is in the shape of a pagoda. There are three floors in total. Each floor is about half smaller than the next floor, but each floor is almost inconceivable. high.
From a distance, this altar is simply a huge burning red flame, piercing the sky. Gui Li stood under this altar, almost like an ant, extremely insignificant.
Gui Li took a deep breath, the building in front of him is really astonishing, the words "supernatural workmanship" are probably well-deserved if they are placed here. Unexpectedly, there is such a magnificent building in Fenxiang Valley. He murmured in his heart, and for a moment he thought of the stone tablet he had just entered, and he knew vaguely in his heart that the place in front of him was probably the famous place in Fenxiang Valley according to the rumors - the Xuanhuo Altar.
He collected himself, and then drifted over without a sound. Apart from the Profound Fire Altar in front of him, the surrounding area is an empty space without any cover. But fortunately there were no guards around here, he was fast and reached the bottom of the Xuanhuo Altar in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he got close to the Xuanhuo Altar, the heat in the air suddenly became several times higher, even if he practiced like Ghost Li, he felt a burst of upset, and there was faint sweat on his forehead. Gui Li frowned, secretly surprised in his heart, then remembered in his heart that he didn't know if Xiao Hui could withstand the scorching heat, so he turned his head to look, but saw Xiao Hui lying on his shoulder scratching his head and ears, seeming to be ignorant of his surroundings. The hot air turned a blind eye.
Ghost Li was startled, and subconsciously felt that Xiao Hui was very unusual recently, especially since he swallowed the elixir stone from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House on the sacred tree in the swamp of death, his body obviously began to gradually change.
But no matter what, in the current situation, it is naturally better for Xiao Hui not to be afraid of heat than to be afraid of heat, and Ghost Li is not in the mood to take care of such a lot for the time being. When he was thinking about whether to go up to the Xuanhuo Altar next time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from above the Xuanhuo Altar.
Gui Li frowned, and took a quick look around, but saw that there was no shelter at all. After a moment of contemplation, he flew into the bottom of the Xuanhuo Altar, hiding behind a thick white jade stone pillar.
He hid behind the stone pillar, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the stone pillar, suddenly his hand was hot, he reacted so quickly, and immediately retracted his hand.
Under the Profound Fire Altar, even the stone pillar was scorching hot.
The footsteps became louder, apparently someone came down, and suddenly an old voice said slowly: "Since the owner of the valley invites me, I will go naturally. But you are telling me why those murlocs are suddenly so violent, and they are here The point where you want to attack the valley?"
Gui Li hid in the shadow of the stone pillar, looked out, saw Li Xun and Yan Hong following an old man in gray, walking down respectfully.
