Not long after Baguio and the others chased after them, this dark place that had just experienced a fierce battle was about to gradually restore calm, only to hear the sharp sound of "stealing" from above, and two rays of light shot out, one white and one blue. He got down, swayed for a while, and stopped for a while, revealing a man and a woman in the light group, they are Li Xun and Yan Hong, who are under the Fenxianggu sect.
Li Xun's handsome face was slightly surprised at the moment, he looked around with the light of the magic weapon, and said to Yan Hong: "Junior Sister, I never thought that there would be such a cave under the fox's lair."
There was also some surprise on Yan Hong's face, she nodded and said: "Yes, I have never seen such a scene in the past, I am afraid that these many monsters have never appeared in the world." After a pause, she whispered: " Brother, the situation here is weird, I'm afraid it's extremely dangerous, we have to be careful."
Li Xun smiled faintly, a bit of arrogance appeared on his face, and said: "Junior Sister, don't worry, forgive the demon fox for only five hundred years of Taoism, what a shame!"
Yan Hong smiled slightly, and said: "Senior brother, you are very talented and profound in Taoism, so naturally you are not afraid of that evildoer, but in case that 'Six-tailed Demon Fox' is also beside the 'Three-tailed Demon Fox', with its thousand-year Taoism, I'm afraid there will still be some trouble."
Li Xun glanced at Yan Hong, showed a smile, and suddenly said: "Junior Sister, although your words are nice, but I'm afraid that I, a senior brother, who is greedy for merit, is very worried, right?"
The corner of Yan Hong's mouth twitched, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you are worrying too much."
Li Xun turned around, looked around, and said lightly: "Junior Sister, do you feel that the temperature under this abyss is a little abnormal?"
Yan Hong nodded and said: "That's right, it seems to be getting hotter after going down so deep."
Li Xun said: "It's not that it's hotter, but it's much hotter than usual, and I was distracted to look carefully at the black stone in the abyss along the way, and concluded that it was the magma that sprayed out from the bottom of the ground in ancient times. It came out of the ground and cooled down. This abyss is probably a crater!"
Yan Hong let out a soft cry of "ah", and then her beautiful eyes moved, and she immediately said as if she had awakened, "You mean..."
Li Xun continued: "That's right, that's what it means. The demon fox deliberately chose this crater as its lair. Three hundred years ago, the demon fox and a gang of thieves, reckless, entered my forbidden area of Fenxiang Valley and stole the mysterious treasure. Fire Artifact. But what kind of person was Shangguan Shishu who was guarding the shrine back then, came here after hearing the news, showed his might, and was about to capture a group of demon foxes, but the six-tailed demon fox has a deceitful nature and has become a fish that slipped through the net."
Speaking of this, he suddenly sneered, and continued: "But Uncle Shangguan's Taoism is profound, and the magic weapon 'Nine Cold Ning Ice Spike' he made is the most rare treasure in the world, and its power is unmatched. In the past, I was in the valley. I once heard Gu Zhu say that although the six-tailed demon fox escaped by chance, it has been pierced into the fox's veins by the nine-cold ice thorn by Shangguan's uncle, destroying the foundation of its way. For the past three hundred years, even if it does not die, it will definitely suffer It’s unbearable, the morality is exhausted, and the methamphetamine attacks the mind and body day and night, unless you are in a hot and sunny place, you can relieve the pain a little.”
Yan Hong smiled slightly, and said: "In this way, the six-tailed demon fox is probably under this abyss. Brother, you are far-sighted, and my younger sister really admires you."
A hint of arrogance appeared on Li Xun's face again, and he said: "We are disciples of the Fenxianggu sect, and we have received great favor from our master, so naturally we can't embarrass our master. This time, I only hope that God will bless and return everything to its original owner. Go back to your place, the demons are just punishing you."
Yan Hong smiled and said nothing, Li Xun glanced at her and said, "Let's go!"
Yan Hong nodded, and the two of them jumped up, turned into a bright light again, and rushed down the dark depths.
※※※
Zhang Xiaofan's right hand tightly grasped the fire stick, but his body was tightly restrained by the huge tentacles, he could almost hear the bones in his body creaking, moaning endlessly.
He felt pain everywhere in his body, and he was rushed down to the depths of the ground by the huge tentacles. The sound of the wind made his face hurt, but he felt the stars flickering in front of his eyes, and his mind was in chaos. Horror picture.
The length of this tentacle is really appalling, it has been pulled down for about five feet, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly took advantage of the dim light in the confusion, and looked around in a panic, only to see that the front has reached the bottom of this abyss, There is not a blade of grass growing around here, only there is a huge cave on the stone wall in front of it, which is ten feet high and seven or eight feet wide.
This huge tentacle is a monster protruding from this huge stone cave, seeing its rear end at this moment, it is even more huge, I really don't know what its whole body looks like if it is a living thing.
Zhang Xiaofan was waved in the air by the tentacle, and was dragged into the cave by it involuntarily. At this moment, a dim light flashed at the entrance of the huge cave, and the long-disappeared three-tailed demon fox was holding the mysterious fox in his hand. Huo Jian suddenly appeared.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw that Zhang Xiaofan was tightly grasped by the giant tentacles, seeing that he had no strength to fight back, a murderous look flashed on his soft face, and he was about to turn around and say something to the hole.
But for some reason, she seemed to think of something again, she stopped suddenly, turned her head, took a deep look at Zhang Xiaofan who was struggling in pain but was useless, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Look at the well of the full moon Looks like a lover too, that's all, that's all."
As she said that, she raised the Xuanhuo Jian in her hand and took a look into the huge stone cave. At the same time, she let out a strange low whistling sound, which sounded like a fox barking in the wilderness.
After a while, as if he had received some order, the huge tentacle shrank quickly back into the cave with a sound of "instigating", Zhang Xiaofan's eyes went dark, he could no longer see any light, he only felt that it was suddenly filled with a strange fishy smell , and the tentacle wrapped around him was slippery on the surface, but for some reason, it just held on to him so firmly that he couldn't even move a little bit.
At the same time, the three-tailed demon fox outside the cave heard the whistling sound, looked up, and saw two golden and white light beams appearing above the head, shooting down quickly. She sneered a couple of times, and with a dodge, she retreated to the entrance of the cave, and the Xuanhuo Jian took a look into the cave, and then she let out another fox bark similar to just now.
The two beams of light are naturally Shi Shi and Bi Yao, they saw that they had caught up with the three-tailed demon fox, they were overjoyed, Bi Yao was more careful, but seeing Zhang Xiaofan was not around, they were worried again.
But before the two of them stopped, following the movement of the three-tailed demon fox, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the huge cave, and a huge tentacle suddenly rushed out, hitting the two of them with a bang.
※※※
In the darkness, Zhang Xiaofan was dragged in by the tentacles, he bumped and bumped on the stone wall of the cave along the way, and seemed to have turned a few turns, although he didn't have a bloody head, but it was inevitable that he would be ashamed. But in this place where you can't see your fingers, no one can see it.
I didn't know how deep I dragged it in. I only felt that the stench was getting stronger and stronger, but the surroundings were pitch black, and there was no light at all, so I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly.
But fortunately, although the huge tentacle still tightly strangled his body, the three-tailed demon fox seemed to have issued an order not to hurt him for the time being, the tentacle did not continue to tighten, and Zhang Xiaofan was able to temporarily breathe machine.
Finally, that huge tentacle stopped, in a dark place, it didn't move anymore, but it still tightly strangled Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan panted heavily, still in shock.
The darkness is like a mountain, in front of him, endless.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that right in front of him, in the depths of the darkness, there might be an inconceivably huge monster entrenched here. Thinking of this, his whole body felt cold from head to toe.
In this ancient cave, as if no light had penetrated since ancient times, it was as dark as ink, but this unknown world gave people the oldest and deepest fear.
The huge tentacles wrapped around his body seemed to remind him all the time, what kind of incredible creature he would be facing in front of him.
Time seems to freeze.
In the distance, the sound of fighting and loud noise could be heard faintly. Although the sound was low, it sounded somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, in the depths of the darkness, something seemed to throb uncomfortably. In the darkness, there was a sudden fluctuation, although Zhang Xiaofan couldn't see it, but thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind, wondering whether this huge monster's body was here, but it stretched out another tentacle, and went outside the cave to fight Baguio and others .
It's just that this thought didn't last long, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly noticed that the tentacle, which had stopped exerting force, suddenly seemed to be frightened, or for some other reason, began to tighten again, although the speed was not very fast, but with The gigantic size of the tentacles, and the force of this inward constriction are really overwhelming.
Zhang Xiaofan's eyes darkened, his whole body was in great pain, he yelled, desperately supported himself with his Taiji Xuanqing Dao practice, but this tentacle was like a ghost, with unstoppable power, it couldn't hold it.
Feeling his ribs cracking in his chest, and his qi and blood surging, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't care less about it anymore, he went to the doctor in a hurry, and eagerly passed on the true Buddhist method "Dafan Prajna" from the universal wisdom monk of Tianyin Temple to his other half who was practicing secretly. "Run it up, hoping to resist for a while longer.
Unexpectedly, it’s okay if you are unlucky. Once you get lucky, the supreme true method of Buddhism and the Taoist thaumaturgy of Qingyunmen are very different in practice, and the way of luck is even more different. They are immediately repulsed in the body, and the meridians of the whole body immediately feel like needles. Generally excruciating pain.
At the same time, the huge tentacles of the outside world were constantly pressing down, and the muscles and bones were about to tear apart. Zhang Xiaofan was at a loss in the darkness, his consciousness gradually blurred under the huge pressure.
At this moment, at this moment of life and death, inexplicable passages of words flashed through his mind.
"...the celestial phenomenon has no punishment, and the Taoist praise has no name. That's why it is said that those who have no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no life can reach the light. Those who hold a righteous way, the inner body and the self-nature, and the heaven and the earth take the heart as the heart..."
These words seemed to light up in the depths of his heart, echoing in his mind. This is the text in the first volume of the "Book of Heaven", which made him puzzled at first. Buddhism and Taoism are fundamentally different in practice, how can they be integrated into one in the end
But at this moment, he was in a desperate situation, his whole body was about to tear apart, and he was in a state of extreme pain. For some reason, a certain place in his mind gradually became clear, and even disregarded the heart-piercing pain, only reverberating deep in his heart. Those words in my mind.
"...
Therefore, moving and resting in the earth is the heart view of heaven and earth.
Therefore, there is no reality and nothingness.
Therefore, the heaven and the earth are allowed to be natural, and there is nothing to do and nothing to create.
If the old things do not exist, they are not enough to prepare!
…”
The fire stick that had been held in his hand, but had lost its luster, suddenly lit up slowly again at this moment.
A faint cyan light appeared faintly.
A cold, icy sensation swimming across the body.
Zhang Xiaofan couldn't see anything in the dark, but his eyes widened, and only one sentence echoed in his head: "If the old things don't exist, they won't be ready!... If the old things don't exist, they won't be ready! ... The old things If you don’t have it, you won’t be able to prepare it!…”
"ah!"
He raised his head, screamed to the sky, but his voice was already hoarse.
"If the old things don't exist, they won't be ready!"
The Dafan Prajna and Taiji Xuanqing Dao qi that had been fighting in his body suddenly rushed into the sea like a flood. After a violent collision, they surged out from his right arm and forced them into the black fire stick.
In a short while, the fire stick radiated bright light. Under the black halo, the stick seemed to be stimulated by something, and the veins became clear bit by bit, and even the blood streak seemed to be It was like fresh blood, pulsating faintly, throbbing, as if flowing dark red, obscure and strange blood.
"Heck, heck, heck, heck, heck..."
Accompanied by the vision of burning fire sticks, Zhang Xiaofan's body unexpectedly made abnormal noises everywhere, but it wasn't the sound of bones breaking, but it sounded like a violent heartbeat, blood boiling, or skin piercing. , but looking at his body, there is no strange and other weird sounds!
Before he knew it, Zhang Xiaofan regained his senses. Looking around, he didn't know what had changed in his body, but he found that he was still being restrained by the huge tentacles, but the difference was that after the instant he realized And after forcing the true teachings of Buddhism and Taoism into the fire-burning stick, the fire-burning stick already exudes a slightly different brilliance from the past. In the dark blue light, there are faint strands of golden light, and even the swaying faint bloodshot The red light, with a bit of ferocity, with a sense of terror, is exceptionally clear.
And this halo has already stretched the surrounding tentacles by a small distance, but then Zhang Xiaofan realized that the power of this huge tentacles was too strong, as if he noticed that Zhang Xiaofan's resistance suddenly became stronger, then The force of pressing inwards also pressed in again with ten times and a hundred times of momentum.
After only a moment, the magic weapon's halo reappeared from the fire stick was already crumbling and unable to support it.
Zhang Xiaofan is not a fool, how could he not know that going on like this would be a dead end. At that moment, he was determined, willing to take a big risk, gritted his teeth fiercely, urged the mana with all his strength, the light of the fire stick instantly became brighter, taking advantage of this last chance, Zhang Xiaofan let out a low growl, and the fire stick shot towards the trapped person like lightning. above his own tentacles.
There was only a muffled sound of "噗", the whole root of the fire stick sank into it, and it pierced in like a sharp blade of a magic weapon.
In the darkness, the only glowing fire stick fell into the tentacles, and the surroundings suddenly became dark without a trace of light. Feeling the dark breath, feeling the boundless silence around, Zhang Xiaofan held his breath for a moment.
"sudden!"
A ray of light suddenly appeared, and the tentacle was pierced with a big hole by the light, revealing the strange light of the fire stick.
"sudden!"
There was another muffled sound, and another ray of light rushed out from the other side of the tentacles!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of "Tu, Tu, Tu!" was repeated, Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the huge tentacle that trapped him, but at this moment, it was like a piece of thin paper being pierced continuously, from inside More and more rays of light shot out, illuminating the ground for several feet around him, and also illuminating himself.
Soon, Zhang Xiaofan felt the tentacle that was trapping him slip down weakly, at this moment, the fire stick also pierced through the tentacle and flew back into his hand.
Relying on the halo of the fire stick, Zhang Xiaofan saw the huge tentacles on the ground with many scars, scorched and cracked everywhere, very different from the strong and greasy one just now.
He just managed to escape from the juncture of hell, and he was in shock, and the monster in front of him was also strange, suffering from such a huge trauma, he was still silent, as if he didn't feel any pain.
Zhang Xiaofan gasped for breath, and was about to find his way out, but he heard another shriek from the darkness ahead, a huge wind rushed towards him like a mountain, a little closer, Zhang Xiaofan took a look at the dim light, It almost dropped its jaw in fright, only to see huge tentacles rushing out from the depths of the darkness, and there were countless black shadows dancing wildly.
A single tentacle almost killed him, and in such a situation, the end was self-evident. Zhang Xiaofan didn't even think about it, he just moved the fire stick, he flew up, turned around and left, unexpectedly he flew less than a zhang, with a "bang", he and the stick were hit on the extremely hard stone wall.
This time the pain was piercing to the bone, the impact was really not light, I vaguely felt that there was something wet and greasy on the face, maybe it was blood, but at this moment, how can I care so much.
It's just that he is now trapped in this pitch-black cave like a blind man. When he was grabbed by the tentacles just now, he was dragged in a mess, and he couldn't remember where he came from.
At that moment, he was like a headless fly, driving the fire stick, relying almost entirely on instinct and the loud wind, bumping around in the cave, accidentally bumping into the stone wall, anyway, he can hide for a while.
But the tentacles in the darkness are not only huge, but also very flexible, Zhang Xiaofan fled for his life, but only heard the howling wind behind him, clinging to his back, he couldn't help but feel his heart shattered. At the moment of life and death, he closed his eyes, let out a loud cry, and rushed forward with the fire stick desperately, hoping to get as far away from the life-threatening tentacles as possible.
Unexpectedly, under the power of his desperate running, although the speed of the fire stick increased sharply, the stone wall in front did not give face, it did not fly over three feet, and hit the stone wall again with a "bang".
But this time it seemed a little strange, the stone wall seemed to be relatively weak, and after a collision, it actually crashed into it directly, and some light came out from it, and there was even a blazing heat wave rolling in.
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, but before he came back to his senses (actually there was no way to come back to his senses, no matter how hard his head is, no matter how strong his magic weapon is, such a collision would still make him dizzy ), I just felt that my body was empty, and the whole person fell into a narrow and downward-sloping corridor, and rolled straight down.
I don't know how long this roll will last, but along the way, Zhang Xiaofan was in chaos, only felt that the surroundings were full of crimson light, at the same time, the heat wave was scorching, the tentacles were scorching hot, a few times when he touched the wound, it was even more painful There are stars in my eyes.
In fact, if the truth is told, Zhang Xiaofan has been able to survive until now, I am afraid that he is already more like a stone than the stones who are fighting outside.
Finally, the tumbling body stopped, Zhang Xiaofan's mouth was bleeding, his face was covered with bruises, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, he raised his head slowly while moaning.
Then, he froze.
In front of him, there is a huge underground cave, but what is different from before is that it is full of hot to red magma, forming a scorching lake, filling the entire bottom of the cave.
On the surface of the lake, from time to time, heat wave bubbles popped up, and then burst, and there were more turbulent places, like tides, and hot magma flew up into the air. The hot red flames from the magma turned this huge cave into a red world.
As for Zhang Xiaofan himself, he is on a platform above the magma lake, behind him is an upward passage, he rolled down from here. And right in front of him, at the end of the platform, near the place where the hot magma was almost unbearably hot, was an oval-shaped stone nest, on which lay a white fox quietly.
White, big fox!
Its eyes were closed, as if sleeping peacefully, its body curled up, very quiet.
Very, very beautiful!
Zhang Xiaofan stood up slowly, held his breath, and walked towards it slowly.
Slowly, step by step, he walked over.
The heat wave became hotter and hotter, Zhang Xiaofan's face was flushed red, but he didn't seem to notice it. In his staring eyes, he only looked at the beautiful, beautiful, gentle, and quiet fox, and its back.
There, in the beautiful fur, quietly curled its tail.
Small and beautiful fur, branched but harmonious, a total of six tails.
