"Okay," the Beast God smiled faintly, turned around, the tiredness on his face seemed to deepen, and said, "Why did you come here, did you want to kill me?"
Gui Li shook his head.
The Beast God was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's unexpected that there are people who don't want to kill me. I didn't expect it. In the past few months, in the words of you humans, I have poisoned the world and ravaged the common people. Why don't you want to kill me, a person who deserves death?"
Gui Li looked at the Beast God silently, and the Beast God also looked at him, between the two men, the flame was burning quietly, and it was reflected in their eyes at the same time.
"Should I want to kill you?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
There was a long, long silence...
"Perhaps!" Ghost Li's face suddenly showed a very complicated expression, a bit of nostalgia, a bit of pain, and a bit of vague confusion. Facing the most vicious devil in the world, he seems to be able to let go of his heart completely, without the indifference and self-closing in front of other people at all.
"Ten years ago, I was determined to eliminate harm for the common people wholeheartedly. Even though I knew I was powerless, I couldn't take half a step back after all. But now..."
The Beast God stared at him and asked, "But?"
The bewildered look on Gui Li's face became more serious, and he said slowly: "I just suddenly felt that the common people in this world have nothing to do with me? My whole life's wish was to live an ordinary life, I don't want to learn Taoism, Don't cultivate immortality, I don't even want to live forever."
The expression on Beast God's face also changed suddenly, his eyes changed from a faint sneer to a solemn one, and there was even a bit of confusion faintly similar to Ghost Li in it, as if something touched something deep in his heart. place.
He suddenly said, "Then what exactly do you want?"
Gui Li smiled indifferently, and slowly raised his head to look up at the sky, but there was only the deep darkness in this ancient cave, without a ray of light, he said: "I don't know, sometimes I have thought that maybe I can go back ten years ago , My days on the Big Bamboo Peak? Or maybe, I dream of going back to my childhood, when I didn’t understand anything, but,” he smiled bitterly, and said, “There’s right and wrong, kindness and resentment, and I How can we give up and forget?"
The Beast God was silent for a moment, and said, "Have you regretted it?"
Gui Li didn't answer right away, after a while, he looked at the beast god again, looked at the eyes behind the flame light, and shook his head.
The Beast God sneered, and said: "As far as you are concerned, you have had a rough half of your life, and you have a lot of sad pasts, but this time I ask you, but you don't regret it, so what can I say?"
Gui Li said: "Half of my life has been rough, but I can't help it. I want to live an ordinary life, but I get involved in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism; I want to practice with peace of mind, but I become a demon and evil way; Gen, when I understand who I really want to be..."
His face gradually showed a desolate look, and he didn't say any more after all. After a while, he whispered: "Regret? How can I regret it? What's the use of regretting..."
The Beast God silently looked at the man standing there. It seemed that ten years hadn't carved many traces of vicissitudes on his face, but his figure standing there looked so tired. Beast God couldn't help but start to imagine what kind of life that boy ten years ago was like.
There was silence between the two men, as if they were unknowingly caught in the reminiscence of the past.
How much of everyone's life and past events is worth recalling
ten years? century? millennium…
Or will it pass away slowly in time after all, and pass away silently
The Beast God thought silently, the tiredness on his face became heavier, his eyes slowly moved to the direction of the entrance of that ancient cave, separated by the endless darkness, there was still a figure standing there alone in a distant place Bar
Such a life, but what kind of life is it
He suddenly asked Gui Li: "Tell me, what is the purpose of living?"
"What is the purpose of living?..." Gui Li recited in a low voice, after a long moment of silence, he raised his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that my whole life seems to be for others."
The beast god was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "I live for others, what about me! Who am I living for?"
Gui Li was a little surprised, he obviously didn't expect the Beast God to say such words, but then he frowned again, obviously recalling his words just now, he felt a little surprised, how could he say such words.
After gathering his composure, Gui Li's face returned to calm again, as if the weakness that flashed just now had disappeared, as if it had never existed on him. He looked deeply at the beast god and said, "I am not here today to kill you."
The Beast God still seemed to be a little absent-minded, thinking about something, and replied lightly, "Oh, then why are you here?"
Gui Li pointed at the Taotie lying on the ground next to him, and said: "I came here for it."
The Beast God frowned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the Taotie on the ground reacted immediately, widened its huge eyes like copper bells, opened its bloody mouth, roared towards Ghost Li, and slowly Slowly stood up, murderous. And the three-eyed spirit monkey Xiaohui seemed a little confused, and slowly left Taotie's side, ran back to Ghost Li's feet, looked up at Ghost Li, seemed a little puzzled by what his master said, but after a while, it still climbed up to Ghost Li. Li's shoulders, but the three eyes looked at Taotie from time to time.
The Beast God snorted and said, "That's strange, you didn't come here to kill me, but for this glutton? What do you want it for?"
Gui Li said indifferently: "It's not that I want it, but another person wants it, and if that person's words are not too much, I will help him."
The Beast God looked at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said, "You are in debt, aren't you?"
Gui Li was silent for a moment, then said: "I do owe a lot of favors, so much that I will never be able to repay them in my lifetime, but this has nothing to do with you." He raised his eyes, looked solemn, and slowly stepped forward.
Seeing his figure slowly approaching, the beast god's pupils seemed to shrink slightly.
The flame in the brazier was reflected on Ghost Li's face, and the dancing light and shadow trembled in the boundary between darkness and light. He calmly said: "I have no intention of being your enemy, but it seems that this is inevitable."
The Beast God raised his head and let out a sneer of "ha", and said, "Do you think you can beat me with your skills?"
Gui Li didn't speak.
It didn't stop either.
The low footsteps echoed in the empty space, and there was no wind, but for some reason, the only flame in this huge stone room suddenly started to sway, and the light gradually became stronger.
The dark place is like a ghost, silent and unfathomable. There are countless demons and ghosts staring at the people in this light in that darkness.
Gui Li walked towards the beast god in the flames.
Suddenly, the group of flames suddenly rose up, bursting into dazzling light, and the volume of the entire flame was several times larger than when it was burning peacefully just now. In the raging flames, there was a sound like a dragon chant, which echoed far away.
Following this dragon chant, the entire huge stone room trembled. The echo from the dragon chant went from low to high, and echoed from the depths of the darkness. High, almost into a sharp whistling sound, and at the end, it was deafening like a mountain whistling and a tsunami.
Gui Li stopped in his tracks, because the blazing flames in front of him suddenly rose from the brazier, blocking his face, and within the blazing flames, there seemed to be a pair of ferocious eyes faintly visible, watching he.
The figure of the Beast God has disappeared behind the flames, but his calm voice came out clearly from the flames, saying: "This is an ancient magic circle in southern Xinjiang, called the 'Eight Fierce Black Fire Circle', If you can break it without dying, whatever you want to do, I will follow you."
As soon as his words fell, almost at the same time, a roar burst out from the most dazzling part of the flame. The flame trembled and changed violently, and the ground within five feet around was scorched and cracked. One can imagine that the people around the brazier Hotness.
The strong hot wind blows from the front, causing Ghost Li's clothes to flutter backwards, but his face doesn't seem to be affected in any way, even the monkey Xiao Hui who is lying on his shoulder has three eyes facing the blazing flames. Watching, but there is no fear or pain. However, their expressions are serious, and everyone knows that this is just the beginning.
The first blood-red image of a ferocious god slowly appeared in the sky above the flames. Its ferocious face and strange posture were exactly the same as the one seen in the Xuanhuo Altar of Fenxiang Valley. Gui Li stared at the image, a complex expression gradually appeared on his face.
One after another, they lit up one by one, and the blood-red rays of light gradually joined together around the flames, forming a ring shape, surrounding the blazing flame in the center.
When the last blood-red light closed under the flame, suddenly, the entire red halo burst into light instantly, and the red light soared, and even the flame in it seemed to be suppressed. Qi descended into this space out of thin air. In the depths of the flame, that pair of vague eyes also enlarged in an instant.
"Roar!"
With a loud roar, the whole stone room shook in an instant, and the fiery flames danced wildly like a demon, swaying crazily. In the depths of the flames, a ferocious giant beast dressed in flames, roaring and looking at the world, appeared.
Scarlet Flame Warcraft!
The demonic beast that once guarded the eight fierce mysterious fire magic circle passed down by the ancient witch clan in the Xuanhuo Altar of Fenxiang Valley appeared again, and the ghost Li and the imp who faced it for the second time couldn't help but change slightly. Xiao Hui bared his teeth, lay on Gui Li's shoulder, and roared angrily at the monster.
The huge body of the Scarlet Flame Demonic Beast continuously appeared from the huge halo of the Eight Violent Black Fire Formation. First, the huge head, then the shoulders, front feet, and slowly, the body and hind legs also appeared slowly. Following its arrival, the temperature in the entire stone chamber rose wildly, Ghost Li's clothes even began to turn brown.
Finally, the last part of the body that was burning with flames appeared, the giant scarlet flame beast was surrounded by flames, standing in front of Ghost Li and Xiao Hui, Ghost Li was only half the height of this ferocious beast. And behind this monster, the strange aura composed of the image of the eight-faced fierce god is sometimes bright and sometimes flickering, following behind the scarlet flame monster.
Like a devil, grinning in front of him!
The ferocious aura surged from all directions, and the familiar feeling seemed to faintly boil in his blood again. Ghost Li even vaguely remembered the fierce fight at the Xuanhuo Altar in Fenxiang Valley last time.
Gui Li didn't move, but stared deeply at the mighty beast in front of him.
The scarlet flame monster with its fangs and claws slowly turned its head, a hot wave of heat surged past, its eyes that seemed to be burning saw Ghost Li, and the three-eyed spirit monkey Xiao Hui on his shoulder.
The huge head of the Scarlet Flame Warcraft stopped for a while, and after a while, it suddenly let out a huge roar that shook the world!
That roar was full of anger, resentment and a strong desire for revenge!
The blazing flames exploded in an instant, turning from red light to pure white. Countless flames rose into the air, forming a blazing fireball, spinning rapidly, and the terrifying head suddenly opened its huge mouth , Amidst the roar, he bit down with one bite.
Before the head reached the ground, the surrounding ground was completely cracked, and the endless flames fell into the world like a scorching sun, roaring and rushing down, drowning Gui Li's figure in an instant.
The flame that exploded at that moment, like the climax after a carnival of life, was in full bloom!
But behind the flames, in those tired eyes, they are indifferent and can't see half of the joys and sorrows of life.
※※※
The surroundings were dark and silent. Lu Xueqi and the others had been walking in this ancient cave for a long time. Although they raised their vigilance all the way, they didn't encounter any attacks after walking for so long.
In the darkness, the beautiful figure shrouded in soft light blue light, Lu Xueqi's cold face stared at the past from the darkness, as if it was more indescribably beautiful, and against the backdrop of the darkness, there seemed to be a trace of mystery and coldness breath.
It's as if, the legendary Widowmaker that blooms quietly in the dark grows for thousands of years and only blooms for a moment.
The gaze behind her who stared and looked away from time to time couldn't go away, but Lu Xueqi seemed to have no sense of it. In her bright eyes, she just stared at the front, although there was only endless darkness, but in the depths of the darkness, there seemed to be something she wished to see.
She walked forward and never looked back.
The darkness retreated quietly in front of her, and then slowly closed behind her. Such a gentle figure appeared so conspicuous in the darkness, even covering up the light of those behind her, as if walking alone.
Suddenly, she stopped suddenly.
The people behind him also stopped immediately, Li Xun looked around vigilantly, walked up, was about to ask, but was startled for a moment, saw a complex expression on Lu Xueqi's face, which seemed to be extremely guarded.
At this moment, the darkness that had been silent in front of him suddenly changed, and there was a faint throbbing, as if suddenly appearing in the darkness, and then slowly began to roll, grow bigger, and become stronger...
In the darkness, there seemed to be something slowly condensing, like whistling, like roaring, but everything was silent.
A moment later, here it comes, here it comes...
From an unknown place in the distance, a strong vibration, accompanied by a low whistling sound, rumbled from afar, and then quickly grew in size. It seemed that in the depths of this cave, there was an incomparably huge spirit beast, looking up to the sky. Howl!
The originally silent darkness around it started to boil as if being ignited at this moment. In the depths of the darkness, there were countless whistling sounds coming from all directions, and everyone changed color for a while.
Li Xun took a few steps back and shouted quickly: "Form a circle and be careful."
Everyone in Fenxiang Valley is a veteran who has experienced many battles. Although they were not shocked, they all leaned together and looked ahead vigilantly.
The surrounding stone walls began to tremble slowly, as if some kind of huge power began to slowly emanate, and even the ground under his feet tended to tremble slightly. In the darkness ahead, the strange commotion became more intense, as if corresponding to something, roaring something.
Under this situation of great changes that were almost like landslides and ground cracks, Lu Xueqi's figure didn't know why, but she didn't take half a step back, away from the companions who were waiting in formation behind her, she stood alone in front of the darkness, with the light blue light in front of her. , the darkness seemed to face her ferociously, trying to engulf her at any time.
Without warning, a wave of heat rushed out from the depths of the darkness, like a huge wave crashing through the ancient cave, Lu Xueqi's clothes and hair instantly floated up at the same time, it was only her figure, but there was no trace of it. shake.
The feeling of the heat wave blowing on his face was a bit crazy, and it was even more difficult to imagine what was going on in the depths of the cave, the source of the power, at this moment. Lu Xueqi didn't speak, but stared at the wildly dancing darkness ahead in the violent wind.
The heat is raging!
She looked up suddenly.
The wind blew her face like frost, but in those eyes, it seemed that there were even more fiery eyes burning deep in her heart.
In that dark depth, in that dark distance...
She let out a long howl suddenly, her figure was in the midst of the shaking of the ground and the surging hot wind, she went up against the wind, intending to shoot towards the depths of the darkness.
Behind him, Li Xun, Zeng Shushu and others changed their expressions in astonishment, not understanding what it meant. Li Xun just wanted to shout, but he saw the light blue radiant figure, like a sharp arrow leaving the string, without the slightest hesitation, it disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.
He closed his voice dumbly, unable to speak for a while.
Zeng Shushu walked slowly to Li Xun's side and patted his shoulder, but Li Xun didn't look back at him.
The heat wave has gradually weakened, and the violent shaking around has gradually stabilized, and everything has slowly returned to its original state. If it weren't for the falling debris around, it would almost give people the illusion that this is just a dream in the dark .
However, the beautiful figure that has disappeared clearly shows that there are dangers lurking in this weird cave.
Li Xun was silent for a moment, calmed down, and was about to speak when suddenly a young Fenxianggu disciple beside him called out: "There is someone, who is there?"
The rest of the people were startled, and looked forward quickly, and sure enough, they saw a figure flashing in the darkness, a person came out, she looked slender, she walked with a hint of charm, she was a beautiful woman.
Everyone was startled, for a moment they thought it was Lu Xueqi who left and returned.
Li Xun was almost overjoyed and called out, but when the words came to his lips, suddenly, the smile on his face turned stiff, and gradually became livid, there was hatred in his eyes, and at the same time, there was a somewhat unbelievable sneer, and said: "Oh it's you… "
The woman seemed startled when she heard the voice, and when she looked up, her expression changed again.
This woman is beautiful and charming, but she is Jin Ping'er.
