Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and recognized this person as the beautiful girl who was arguing about sleepy fish at dinner, seeing that she was still wearing the same water green dress, her skin was like snow under the moonlight, her skin was unparalleled, like a fairy.
The girl put the freshly folded flower on her nose, took a deep breath, an expression of intoxication appeared on her face, and there was a thrilling beauty. And the flower seemed to be more brilliant in front of her beautiful face.
It's just that Zhang Xiaofan burst into a nameless anger from the bottom of his heart, frowned and said: "This flower blooms well, why did you break it?"
The green-clothed girl's bright eyes flicked around Zhang Xiaofan's body like water, and said lightly: "I picked this flower, it is the blessing of this flower; for me to smell its fragrance, it is the fate of this flower's cultivation for three lifetimes. How do you, a layman like you, know?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, it was the first time in his life that he heard such absurd thing, he shook his head and said: "This flower was broken by you, even if you lost your life, how can you be happy?"
The girl in green glanced at him and said, "You're not a flower, how do you know it won't be happy?"
Zhang Xiaofan heard that the woman's words were very unreasonable, and he was even more angry in his heart, he said: "You are not a flower, how do you know it will be happy, maybe this flower is in pain right now, ah! Look, then There is water in the flowers, so I might just cry out in pain."
The green-clothed girl was obviously stunned for a while, and after a while, she burst out laughing, this time she was really as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming, Zhang Xiaofan was almost dumbfounded.
"Flower Tears?... Haha, Flower Tears, this is the first time in my life that I've heard a big man call dewdrops the tears of flowers. I laughed so hard..."
Zhang Xiaofan's face flushed, na na he couldn't speak, but seeing the girl's waist bent from laughing, her face was burning hot, he forced himself to say: "Then, what's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, the girl laughed louder when she heard this and looked at him. The crisp laughter echoed in this quiet and dark garden, adding a bit of warmth.
Zhang Xiaofan was angry, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, saw the woman smiling happily, stomped her feet angrily, turned and left.
After taking two steps, I suddenly heard the girl in green behind her stop laughing, but there was still a bit of a smile in her tone, and said, "Hey, wait a minute."
Zhang Xiaofan was originally in a good mood when he came out tonight, but after meeting this woman, he was in a bad mood, now when she heard her call out, he felt restless again, he couldn't help but turn around and say: "I didn't call hello, you called who?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, the gaze she looked at Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be a bit colder, as if few people had contradicted her like this.
But after a while, she seemed to think of something again. Although she didn't restore the bright smile just now, she said in a gentle voice, "Oh, then what's your name?"
Zhang Xiaofan blurted out: "My name is..." Stuffed for a while, he snorted, and said: "Why should I tell you?"
The green-clothed girl's face was serious, she seemed a little angry, but she saw Zhang Xiaofan's angry expression, like an angry little boy, she couldn't help but burst into another "puchi" laugh.
This smile completely dissipated the momentum of her downcast face just now, against the moonlight in the sky, the garden is full of fragrance, this beautiful woman's face is full of smiles, as if she knows this is not very good, shaking her head is about to endure Live, but still still laugh out.
It seemed that the innocence from long ago came alive again tonight.
The moonlight was like water, lightly sprinkled on her shoulders and face, reflecting the soul-stirring beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know when, he was obsessed with watching.
The girl laughed for a while, when she found Zhang Xiaofan was staring at her, she let out a hey, unexpectedly she didn't blush like a normal daughter, instead she said directly: "Am I pretty?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback by her, like a thief being caught, he felt very embarrassed, but under the gentle eyes of the girl, he felt that there was nowhere to escape: "I...you...uh, You look good!"
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and there was an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, but the girl didn't seem to care, with a faint smile on her face, she said: "I think so, from childhood to adulthood, who doesn't Say I'm pretty, you men! They all look the same."
Listening to her tone of voice, she seems to have gone through vicissitudes at such a young age. Zhang Xiaofan was furious, and was about to refute, but inadvertently looked at her, and saw her bright eyes and white teeth, standing alone in the moonlight, she was vaguely familiar.
He suddenly thought of the beautiful figure of his senior sister that he had seen on Qingyun Mountain and by the clear water pool. He suddenly lost interest and could no longer cheer up. He glanced at the girl in green again, sighed softly, and said nothing. Hair, turn around and leave.
"Hello." After walking a few steps, he heard a voice behind him, Zhang Xiaofan frowned and turned around, looking at the girl in green.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her moistened lips seemed to be tightened, as if she was thinking about something, but the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
"What's your name?" She still asked like this, with his shadow reflected in her eyes.
But Zhang Xiaofan flinched suddenly, all the anger just dissipated in a moment, as if facing this figure, even a little bit of anger was inappropriate.
He avoided that soft gaze, and with a bit of timidity that made him feel uneasy, he said: "Zhang Xiaofan."
Then he walked back quickly, as if fleeing in a hurry.
He strode with his head down, and just as he reached a corner of the zigzag path, he suddenly noticed a black figure appearing in front of him. In this gloomy garden, it was really hard to spot unless he got close.
He could hardly stop his momentum, but fortunately his body was quite sensitive, and he stopped tightly in front of that person. In the darkness, a pair of bright but quiet eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
The distance between the two was too close, Zhang Xiaofan was startled, quickly took a step back, and then he saw clearly that this person was the masked woman who was sitting next to the girl in green at dinner.
At this moment, she is still covered with a veil, but she has changed into a black silk dress. In this night, she is almost like a ghost.
Zhang Xiaofan came to his senses, he was still panting unconsciously, he smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, I don't know if it was the fragrance from this garden, or when he got close to that woman just now...
His heart skipped a beat, he just felt that it was a mistake to come out tonight, so he said vaguely: "I'm sorry." He walked past the masked woman and walked towards his residence.
From the beginning to the end, the masked woman didn't say a word, she just stood there quietly, watching the boy in her eyes. When Zhang Xiaofan walked past her, she turned around slowly, looking at his leaving figure.
After a long time, when her figure almost merged with the darkness in the gloomy garden, she turned around and walked towards the depths of the garden. Soon, she saw the woman in green, still standing where she was, playing with a folded flower in her hand.
The girl in green looked up, without any surprise, she smiled and said, "Aunt You, you are back."
The masked woman glanced at the flowers in her hand, moved her veil lightly, seemed to be nodded, and said: "Those four people are under the Qingyun sect." Her voice echoed in the garden, deep and deep, although soft, but with A bit ghostly: "The leader is Qi Hao from Longshoufeng's lineage. The other three have never seen each other before. They seem to be from the younger generation. I don't know their names."
The green-clothed girl smiled slightly, and said: "I know one, the one who just passed by is called Zhang Xiaofan, a good name."
The masked woman glanced at her and said calmly: "Baguio, I haven't seen you enjoying flowers for a long time."
The green-clothed girl, also known as Baguio, seemed startled for a moment, and the next moment, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said, "Yes! Aunt You, it's been a long time."
She picked up the flower and looked at it carefully. Then, under the gaze of the masked woman, the girl in green smiled, but firmly clenched her hands tightly, crushing the beautiful flower into fine powder.
※※※
The next day, the four people from Qingyun Sect got up, and after freshening up, Qi Hao gathered the four people and discussed: "Kongsang Mountain is three thousand miles away to the east, and the distance is not close, so it's important for us to hurry." The other three had no objection, so Then check out and go.
The owner of Shanhaiyuan really admires Qingyunmen, and the originally expensive rent has been discounted by 50%, which is almost the same as ordinary rent.
Zhang Xiaofan watched Qi Hao chatting with the boss, but he glanced around, but until he left, he didn't see the green-clothed girl last night.
The four of them traveled in the air, the three thousand li journey took ten days, during which, Zhang Xiaofan was naturally delayed a lot, but in the next few days, Zhang Xiaofan became more familiar with Taoism, and he was also familiar with the "burning fire stick". It is even more familiar, and it actually flies decently. When flying high and low in the sky every day, the feeling of walking through the blue sky and white clouds really made him excited for several days.
This day they finally arrived at Kongsang Mountain, everyone was shocked, and saw a steep and towering mountain within a hundred miles, but there were many rocks and few vegetation, and there was no human habitation at the foot of the mountain, which was desolate.
At this time, it was almost dusk, the sun was sinking to the west, and the hazy yellow setting sun shone on Kongsang Mountain, which seemed a little bit desolate and also a bit scary.
Everyone landed at the foot of the mountain and put away their swords and magic weapons. Qi Hao looked at the sky, and said: "I don't think there is anyone here to stay overnight, why don't we go up the mountain immediately, while looking for the 'Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats', and see if there is a suitable place to rest for the night first."
Zeng Shushu nodded and said: "Senior brother Qi is right, let's go up the mountain now!" Seeing that Zeng Shushu agreed, Zhang Xiaofan didn't have any objection, Lu Xueqi looked at the sky and said nothing, but she was the first one to go to the top of the mountain .
Although this Kongsang Mountain is not as exaggeratedly high as the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, it is not low. In addition, it is remote and steep, and there is no way to find it. The four of them went up from the foot of the mountain, and only reached the mountainside, and the sky was already completely dark. down.
The four of them walked up to a platform, Qi Hao called everyone to stop, and took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, all three of them recognized at a glance that it was the most precious treasure of the Qingyun Sect, the "Liuhe Mirror", and were stunned for a moment. Know what Qi Hao is going to do.
I saw Qi Hao holding the Liuhe mirror in his hand, reciting a few mantras in a low voice, the originally dim Liuhe mirror seemed to respond, and gradually lit up, then floated up from Qi Hao's hand, and stayed on top of his head At two feet away, the light gradually became brighter, illuminating a circle around six feet around the four of them with a yellowish halo, protecting them in the center.
Qihao then said: "Eight hundred years ago, Kongsang Mountain was a place where demons and monsters gathered. Moreover, I think this mountain is desolate and strange. I'm afraid there are many mountain spirits and ghosts. The function of Liuhe mirror is to protect the Lord, so we can take precautions against it." Yu Ran."
Zhang Xiaofan took a look at the Liuhe mirror floating in the air, he saw that the small mirror didn't look amazing, but there was aura hidden in its simplicity, it should not be underestimated.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance, followed by the sound of "crack, crack, crack".
The sound gradually became denser, and in the end, not only became louder and louder, but even the rhythm could hardly be heard. Only the huge noise of "rumbling" echoed in this barren mountain and wild ridge. With the light, everyone suddenly saw a black cloud rising suddenly behind the distant mountain, which was even more strange in the darkness, and the loud rumbling sound came from there.
Everyone's face changed, Zeng Shushu rolled his eyes, and suddenly lost his voice: "Liuhejing!"
As soon as he spoke, the crowd hadn't reacted yet, but the black cloud that was getting bigger and bigger in the sky had already sensed something and moved towards it. After a while, there seemed to be an ear-piercing whistling sound coming from the black cloud, In an instant, the black cloud turned around together, towards the four people, the only light in the dark night rushed towards them.
In an instant, the originally starry night sky was pitch black, as if covered by something.
Everyone felt a stench filled the surroundings in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan and others were all shocked. Only Qi Hao was still calm, but his face turned pale, and he said quickly: "Don't move around, don't leave the Liuhe mirror's aperture range."
After a while, the whistling and rumbling sounds were close to their ears, reflecting the light of the Liuhe mirror, everyone finally saw the black cloud clearly, and it turned out to be countless black bats, densely packed, and looking at the figure, it was more than what they had seen before. The bats are more than double the size, each one has a big mouth, in the black body, the mouth is scarlet, hideous and terrifying.
But the yellowish light emitted by the six-fold mirror showed its effect at this time, and all the bats were separated from the aperture, no matter how they were bumped and squeezed, the aperture did not move at all.
On the contrary, near the light circle, the black body of the bat that touched the pale yellow light made a "sizzling" sound, and fell to the ground after a while, struggling endlessly, seeing that it could not live.
It's just that there are too many bats in this group. If you look around, even the stars in the night sky are covered. I'm afraid there are not millions of bats.
Those who died on the ground were probably less than one in a million of them, but seeing countless bats rushing forward, the four of them were surrounded in the center. The mouth of the pot is big, and the stench is almost disgusting.
However, the Liuhe mirror is the treasure of Taoism after all. Under the attacks of countless ferocious beasts, there is no sign of fragility or shaken. The yellow light circle looks thin, but it stands tall like a mountain. After a while, the bat corpses around the light circle pile up higher and higher .
At this moment, there are countless black bats surrounded in the sky around the circle of light. Where are the inner three floors and the outer three floors, it may be three hundred layers inside and three hundred layers outside.
But the impact of these beasts on the aperture seemed to slow down, as if they knew it was useless, so they stopped doing such useless things. It's just that these bats seem to be reluctant to part with the delicious food, and they still surround and refuse to leave.
Zhang Xiaofan's mind was in turmoil, he had never seen such a ferocious thing in his life, until now he was still a little nervous and afraid, he panted heavily and looked away from the surrounding bats, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Lu Xueqi's face was also pale extreme.
As if at the same time, Lu Xueqi also sensed his gaze, looking towards Zhang Xiaofan. The eyes of the two met in the air.
Lu Xueqi suddenly turned her head away, her pale face seemed to have turned paler again, but she never looked back.
"brush… "
Suddenly, all the bats fluttered their wings and flew up. Zeng Shushu looked at them and then heaved a sigh of relief: "It took a long time..."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue. He saw the sky was full of black clouds, and countless bats flew to a high place. He turned around suddenly, and the front ones rushed down like hailstones, hitting the aperture of the Liuhe mirror. But it was bounced back by the aperture of the Liuhe mirror, and then a cloud of blood mist rose, and under the light yellow light, it fell to the ground in pieces.
Dirty blood flowed across the face, and countless terrifying blood flowers appeared in the night and then fell to the ground, but the bats afterward seemed indifferent to the death of the same kind in front, and kept hitting.
The four members of Qingyunmen were all pale, looking at the rare and ferocious foreign objects in this world.
Around the aperture, soon, a thick pile of bat corpses was piled up, which was nearly half the height of a person.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly found that the clothes behind him were completely wet with cold sweat.
I don't know how long this terrifying scene lasted until the bat corpses outside the aperture were almost as high as a person, and the bats finally stopped their fierce and brutal attack. It also dimmed a bit, but it still flickered in the dark night, standing still.
The sky is full of dark clouds, surrounding the only light in this dark night, but they still refuse to leave.
The four of them didn't even dare to close their eyes, they each held their own magic weapon in their hands, and they didn't dare to slack off.
These huge swarms of bats seemed to have no other good options, they just circled around and refused to leave, but they didn't launch any more attacks.
And so it continued until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight came from the sky, as if there was a call from somewhere, all the bats suddenly flew up, hovered in the air for a while, and then flew back to the place where they flew out last night, coming quickly, Going faster, in a short while, the countless bats have disappeared.
The four of Qingyunmen slowly relaxed, but after a long time, Qihao didn't remove the Liuhe mirror until he was completely sure that those bats would not come out again.
The aperture dissipates.
With a muffled sound, the bat corpses around the four people suddenly poured in from all directions, drowning the four people in this disgusting and terrifying river.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, he almost thought he had stopped breathing, and at the same time, he even heard a scream from someone around him, a jade hand stretched out, and tightly grasped his waist arm.
The force was so great that the nails sank into his flesh through the clothes.
The pain penetrated into his heart, he turned his head and looked at this frightened beautiful woman, her pale face was tinged with panic in the morning sun, which caused an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Suddenly, all the fear in his heart disappeared, even though he was still a little nervous, his attention was attracted by Lu Xueqi, as if in front of her, he must not have the feeling of shrinking.
He took a step forward and stood in front of her.
Lu Xueqi's panting gradually calmed down, she raised her head slightly, moved her lips lightly, took a deep look at Zhang Xiaofan's face, and let go of her hand.
