The night is like ink, cold and chilling.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across the darkness, approaching from a distance extremely quickly, but from a distance, the ray seemed to be trembling faintly, showing signs of instability.
On the ground, Meng Ji was walking anxiously back and forth. Behind him were the surviving disciples of the Changsheng Hall. From a rough look, there were about fifty or sixty people, all of whom looked at the way they came with terrified expressions.
Until they saw the beam.
The ordinary disciples were commotioned immediately, and many people cheered, but Meng Ji looked at the flying figure, and his anxious expression became a little more serious.
The light came close and stopped, Yuyangzi floated to the ground, and immediately everyone shouted "Sect Master, Sect Master", but before everyone could swarm up, Yu Yangzi's face turned pale, "Wow" A big mouthful of blood spewed out with a sound, staining the front of his clothes red.
Everyone lost their colors.
Meng Ji rushed to support Yuyangzi, his hands were icy cold, he felt that Yuyangzi's whole body was extremely cold, and under the clothes, his body was still trembling slightly, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
Feeling Meng Ji's horror, Yuyangzi glanced to the left and right again, and saw that the faces of these disciples were also frightened. He knew that these people were frightened now, and the army's morale was in turmoil. It is the situation where the tree falls and the hozen scatter.
Immediately, he braced himself up, suppressed the churning blood in his chest, and said loudly: "You don't need to panic, just now I worked hard to force out the congestion in my body, it's not a serious problem."
Normally, Yuyangzi was like a god in the minds of the disciples of the Changshengtang, but now he said it like this, it has some effect, the expressions of many disciples eased a little, and they were obviously relieved.
But even though Yuyangzi said so, his complexion was really bad, as white as paper, and the left side of his body was covered with blood, even his sleeve was gone, he was extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, it was late at night, and the night was dark, otherwise, if it was daytime, more than a hundred eyes would glance at him, and they would immediately see that he was already at the end of his strength.
Meng Ji frowned, then turned his head and shouted to the doorman of Changshengtang: "The door master is fine, you go to the side to rest first, and make plans after dawn!"
The crowd gradually dispersed according to the words, and when the disciples of Changshengtang walked away, Meng Ji suddenly felt Yuyangzi's body suddenly sinking, he hurriedly supported him, looked at Yuyangzi, his heart almost jumped out .
There was no trace of blood on Yuyangzi's face, he was panting heavily, and if he hadn't supported him, he would almost be unable to hold on.
Meng Ji hurriedly supported Yuyangzi to sit down. Yuyangzi sat on the ground in meditation, exhaling slowly. After a long while, the panting gradually became calmer, and his complexion looked better.
During this time, Meng Ji had been standing beside Yuyangzi, with a nervous and worried expression on his face, and at the same time he couldn't stop looking around.
The surrounding night was dark, except for the small fire made by the disciples of the Changsheng Hall nearby, there was darkness everywhere.
The night is ferocious, as if peeking at the precarious and troubled faction of Changshengtang.
Yuyangzi slowly opened his eyes.
Meng Ji immediately whispered: "Master, are you alright?"
Yuyangzi smiled wryly. In his eyes, Meng Ji couldn't be compared with those ordinary sect members. He sighed slightly: "I was besieged by those little bastards of the righteous way just now, and it took a lot of energy. Later, there was a woman who used the Qingyun sect The 'Sword of the Excalibur to Yulei Zhenjue'... ”
Meng Ji's complexion changed drastically, and he said in surprise, "Among these people, there is such a master?"
Yuyangzi said bitterly: "Not only that, I have fought against several people, and at least three or four of them have surprisingly high aptitudes. In the end, I can only cast the 'Blood Curse', and then force my way out!"
The expression on Meng Ji's face changed again and again. The blood curse is the famous magic spell of the Longevity Hall, which can instantly strengthen one's morality, but the power of counterattack afterwards is extremely terrifying. Not to mention the great damage to one's morality, one's life expectancy may also be damaged.
After being stunned for a moment, Meng Ji came back to his senses and said to Yu Yangzi, "Sect Master, what are we going to do now?"
Yuyangzi's face was serious, he was silent for a moment, and said in a hateful voice: "Now the arrow is on the string, we have to shoot. After dawn, we will immediately go to the depths of the dead marsh, and enter the 'Nei Ze' to find treasures!"
Meng Ji's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help saying: "Master..."
With a wave of his hand, Yu Yangzi blocked Meng Ji's words, and said, "I know what you want to say, but now that we have withdrawn from the Dead Marsh, sooner or later we will die at the hands of the other three major factions, why not just give it a go! "
Meng Ji stared at Yuyangzi in a daze, and saw that the ferocity in his pale complexion became more serious. He thought that he could not persuade him to come back, so he stood up slowly, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly in his heart.
This huge death swamp located in the southwest of the vast land of Shenzhou has a radius of almost eight thousand miles and is endless. It has been rarely inhabited since ancient times. The Dead Marsh is further divided into two layers: one is the Outer Marsh, which is the place where everyone is now, and it belongs to the periphery of the Dead Marsh, occupying seven or eight out of ten of the Dead Marsh's land, where bottomless mud pits are densely covered, and there are many poisonous insects. For monks, they don't take it to heart, as long as they are careful not to make mistakes, it will be fine.
However, in the deepest part of the dead marsh, there is still a mysterious place, that is, there is a place surrounded by highly poisonous marsh gas all the year round, and no one has ever known what it looks like inside. Since then, there has been no interest, so the two ways of good and evil are generally unwilling to enter rashly.
And these days, countless people have been searching for treasures in the dead marsh, but there is no news so far. Yuyangzi has long expected in his heart that this treasure is probably in the most dangerous and unpredictable inner marsh. On other days, Yuyangzi might still have a lot of worries, at least he would have to prepare carefully for several days, but now the situation is pressing, and he himself is like a gambler in a hurry, and he can't care about other things anymore.
※※※
The night wind blows.
Most of the disciples of Changshengtang who had been working hard all day fell asleep from sleepiness, and the flames of the fire on the ground were gradually extinguished. Yuyangzi still bowed his head and meditated. Meng Ji, who was standing by his side just now, probably also went to the disciples at this moment up.
Suddenly, Yuyangzi suddenly opened his eyes, looking fiercely, but with a hint of fear, he looked around.
The night was deep and dark.
All the muscles in his body tensed suddenly, and then he slowly stood up.
The only hand grasped the yin and yang mirror.
The wind was so cold that it blew on his body, as if the cold had reached his heart.
In the depths of the darkness, the sound of footsteps gradually sounded.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
"Sand, sand, sand..."
"Wow, wow, wow..."
As if with their own different rhythms, at the same time, from three directions, the sound of slight but orderly footsteps converged towards the Longevity Hall.
For the first time, a trace of despair appeared on Yuyangzi's face, and he suddenly shouted: "Bastard, get out!"
The shouting sound was powerful but faintly lacking in energy, but it still swayed far away on the swamp, and suddenly awakened the doormen of the Changsheng Hall in the distance from their sleep. come together.
Yuyangzi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his heart couldn't help sinking. Looking around, he was startled suddenly, and said loudly: "Where is Meng Ji! Where is he?"
Everyone in the Changsheng Hall looked at each other, but no one answered for a long while, obviously they didn't know.
Yuyangzi rushed upwards, dizzy for a while, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood again.
At this time, a peaceful man's voice suddenly came from the darkness, and said harmoniously: "Uncle Yuyangzi, is it possible that you are looking for this person?"
With a sound of "Woo", something flew out from the darkness right in front of the Changsheng Hall, drew an arc, landed in front of Yuyangzi and all the disciples of the Changsheng Hall, and rolled a few times.
Someone nearby had already lit a torch, and under the light of the torch, they suddenly exclaimed that this was the head of Meng Ji who was standing here talking to everyone just now. I saw that his eyes were wide open, but there was a look of horror in his eyes, and he was afraid that he would never die.
Yuyangzi took a deep breath, looked away from the head of his last capable subordinate, stared ahead, and said coldly: "Qin Wuyan?"
A young man came out slowly, his face was slightly pale, but there was a gentle smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Master really has a good eye, and you can recognize my nephew standing in the dark, admiration, admiration." !"
Yuyangzi's complexion was as ugly as he wanted, and he said coldly: "You are cruel, but your Wandu sect treats the same disciples of the holy religion like this, isn't your old poison master afraid of being thrown into the underworld by the king of Tiansha Ming after death?" ?”
"Ah!" Qin Wuyan put his hands on his chest, pretending to be frightened, but with a calm smile on his face, without any trace of fear, he turned his head to the other side and said, "Fairy Jin, we, the Wandu Sect, would not dare to commit such a serious crime. Take it on your shoulders, why don't you come out?"
Yuyangzi's complexion changed drastically, and he turned his head abruptly, only to see a graceful woman slowly walking out of the darkness on the left, her brows and eyes full of amorous feelings, in this dark night, as soon as she walked out, immediately It seemed to be a little brighter.
"Golden bottle!"
It sounded like Yuyangzi gritted his teeth and said these three words.
Jin Ping'er smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle Yuyangzi, long time no see, how have you been?"
This greeting is really more vicious than the most vicious curse, Yuyangzi stared at her, and said coldly: "My Changshengtang has always been in harmony with the Hehuan faction, why do you want to fight with the Wandumen?" The guy fell into trouble together?"
Jin Ping'er smiled slightly, and said: "You are really forgetful! A few days ago, when you learned that I came to the Dead Marsh, you were worried that our Hehuan Sect would rob you of the treasure, so you ordered someone to kill the disciples of the Wandu Sect, and snatched it from you. The unique poison 'Hei Chan San' was used to kill four disciples of our Hehuan Sect in the north of Dawang Village, is there such a thing?"
Yuyangzi's complexion changed, and he lost his voice: "Why do you..." After speaking halfway, he immediately stopped talking.
Jin Ping'er said indifferently: "Uncle, you have far-sighted plans to provoke our Hehuan faction to fight against the Wandu sect. It is really clever, but thanks to Qin Wuyan's reasoning and careful investigation, he finally found out the truth, otherwise we would really be killed by you One too!"
Qin Wuyan smiled at the side and said: "What are the fairy tales, it's an honor to be able to serve the fairy."
Yuyangzi's mind changed sharply, the current situation is full of dangers, although these two people are young, they have been famous all over the world over the years, and they are by no means easy to get along with. And there are many figures behind them, even though they never showed up, they are probably the Wan Du Sect and He Huan Sect's troops secretly ambushing them, if so, I'm afraid that tonight will really be in bad luck.
Yuyangzi was turning his thoughts quickly, when he suddenly heard a movement from the disciples behind him, he seemed to see something terrifying, he turned around quickly, his face turned pale when he saw it, he saw the only way of retreat behind him, in the darkness, his expression was indifferent Ghost Li walked out slowly.
At this moment, Yuyangzi's thoughts turned, he understood, and finally despaired, and said with a sad smile: "It turns out that the three of you have already agreed to deal with my Changshengtang together. It's ridiculous that I still want to provoke you, praying mantis catches cicada, you oriole In the back!"
Qin Wuyan smiled slightly, and suddenly said loudly: "All disciples of Changshengtang, you have also seen that the vitality of Changshengtang is exhausted tonight, if you are sensible, come to our side as soon as possible, and you can save your life."
Following his words, figures floated behind Qin Wuyan, Jin Ping'er and Gui Li, and countless people holding magical weapons and sharp blades rushed out from the darkness, surrounding the group of people headed by Yuyangzi.
The night wind blows gently, the end of the hero!
※※※
Everyone in the Hall of Eternal Life looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, everyone could see that if they continued to fight, it would be a dead end. When they were besieged by the three great masters of the Demon Cult, and they were at the end of their ropes, there was no hope for them.
Yuyangzi yelled badly in his heart, and sure enough, within a moment, someone shouted: "I'm surrendering, I'm surrendering..." He said and ran out, towards Qin Wuyan.
Someone took the lead, and everyone was shocked, and almost everyone ran out in a moment, after all, no one was willing to wait for death. Shocked and angry, Yuyangzi kept yelling to stop, but at this moment of life and death, who would care about him, more and more disciples of Changshengtang ran away, the situation was out of control, and it was impossible to stop it.
Yuyangzi's chest was full of anger, his eyes were fierce, he roared, jumped into the crowd, grabbed a disciple of Changshengtang, and wanted to kill him. Seeing this, everyone shouted and ran even faster, only the unlucky ghost in his hand was so frightened that his body went limp.
Yuyangzi's face was ferocious, seeing the hundreds of years of Changshengtang's foundation destroyed, he almost exploded with anger, he was about to strangle the doorman to death with all his strength, but he saw that the person was so frightened that he couldn't even wail .
Yuyangzi looked at him, and suddenly turned back to look at the doorman who had left him and defected. Suddenly, he was discouraged, and he let go of his hand, and the doorman fell to the ground.
The man came back with his life, almost couldn't believe himself, and hurriedly ran away, the farther away from this man, the better.
After a while, there was only Yuyangzi left alone in the field.
Gui Li, Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er walked forward together.
The scene suddenly became quiet, Yu Yangzi's figure was bleak, his eyes swept across, from Qin Wuyan to Jin Ping'er and then to Ghost Li, his lips moved, and suddenly said: "That's all, that's all."
Gui Li waited for the three of them to walk a zhang away from Yuyangzi and stopped, the three of them formed a circle, surrounding Yuyangzi in the middle.
Jin Ping'er spoke first, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Uncle Yuyangzi, do you have anything else to say?"
Resentment flashed in Yuyangzi's eyes, but his face was indifferent, and after a while he said slowly: "Now I am at the end of my life, and the name of Changshengtang will end today."
Qin Wuyan clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Master really has good eyesight!"
Yuyangzi trembled, what kind of person he is, but today he has to be humiliated by these juniors, it is really worse than death, but he actually endured it, and said slowly: "Since I have nowhere to go, no matter, I will I have surrendered you, with my skills, it is still of some use to you, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er were immediately moved. Yuyangzi is well-versed in Taoism, and he is hardly under the king of ghosts and the god of poison. Especially tonight, he once fought against as many as ten of the most outstanding figures in the righteous way.
If it weren't for seeing Changshengtang and Zhengdao fighting first, it would not be so simple to get rid of Changshengtang. And if he got the help of Yuyangzi, needless to say, he would definitely be the first strong support, and he would naturally take advantage of it in the future internal struggles of the Demon Cult.
Thinking of this, Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er are both ambitious people, and they couldn't help showing hesitation on their faces.
At this moment, Gui Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "You have such high morals, such great ambitions, and are higher than our generation. If you come to our Ghost King Sect, I'm afraid that you will overtake me in the future. matter, are you willing?"
He spoke lightly, but his eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Yuyangzi coldly. Yuyangzi felt a chill in his heart, Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er are such smart people, they have already figured out this joint in a blink of an eye, and smiles appeared on their faces immediately.
But in Yuyangzi's eyes, they are no different from ghosts.
"Uncle Master is really smart, at this very moment there is such a wonderful method, I admire, admire!" Jin Ping'er smiled sweetly, but at the same time as this smile, the purple light on her right hand gradually lit up.
Similarly, at almost the same moment, Ghost Li's Soul Eater and Qin Wuyan both took a step towards Yuyangzi.
The night wind was blowing, and it was bone-chillingly cold.
Yuyangzi looked around, feeling a sudden resentment in his heart, let out a long howl, and jumped up, struggling for the last time, never refusing to stand still!
※※※
In the distance, Zhengdao had just settled down here, this time Xiao Yicai specially sent a few more juniors to watch the night, which also shows that he is very careful.
In a secluded place nearby, Lu Xueqi sat quietly at the side, and after a while, Wen Min came back, sat down beside her, pouted slightly, and whispered to her: "That Song Daren is such a fool."
Lu Xueqi's gaze moved, and she looked into the distance, only to see Song Daren sitting beside the fire with an embarrassed expression on her face, she didn't know what she had just said to Wen Min. dare to come over.
There was also a smile in Lu Xueqi's eyes, and she said to Wen Min: "Senior sister, you have been bullying him for so many years, it's rare for you to come out, so you can't treat him better."
Wenmin snorted. She and Lu Xueqi have always been on good terms, and she never concealed anything from her in front of this junior sister, she snorted softly, and said: "That person! He is too honest. I really don't know what happened to Tian Buyi, Senior Uncle Tian. When I heard that He seduced Uncle Suru from our Little Bamboo Peak... No, when he married away, he was extremely clever, how could he teach the disciples to be so stupid..."
Lu Xueqi smiled slightly, looked away, and after a while, suddenly said in a low voice: "You're right, there were many honest people in their Big Bamboo Peak disciples..."
After speaking, for some reason, the voice gradually became smaller. Wen Min was startled for a moment, looked at Lu Xueqi, sighed suddenly, patted her shoulder lightly, and said, "Don't think too much about it."
Lu Xueqi didn't speak, just bowed her head in silence.
This night, passed quietly.
After daybreak, Xiao Yicai gathered the people together and discussed: "The vitality of the Changshengtang is seriously injured now, and we have no external enemies for the time being. Besides, we have searched this dead marsh for many days, but there is no news about that rare treasure. I don't know, senior brothers, , what do you think?"
Fa Xiang was silent, but Li Xun looked at Xiao Yicai and said, "Could it be that senior brother Xiao wants to enter that extremely dangerous inner lake to investigate?"
Xiao Yicai was slightly surprised, then nodded and said: "That's right. Since we've arrived here, we can't give up halfway."
Fa Xiang frowned, and said: "Although what Brother Xiao said is also reasonable, but in the depths of the Dead Marsh, after the marsh gas is highly poisonous, I heard that there are more unbelievable monsters and poisonous insects in it, which is extremely dangerous. So many people go together. It's too dangerous."
Xiao Yicai nodded immediately, and then said: "That's right, what Senior Brother Faxiang said was exactly what I was worried about. So I thought, it's better to let most of the Junior Brothers continue to search in Waize, the few of us, plus a few fellow students with high Taoism Enter Uezawa. What do you two think?"
Li Xun pondered for a while, nodded and said, "That's the only way."
Fa Xiang also nodded silently.
Now that the discussion is over, each went back to arrange candidates. After a while, Li Xun and Yanhong were in Fenxianggu, Faxiang and Fashan in Tianyin Temple, and there were slightly more people in Qingyunmen. Apart from Xiao Yicai, Lu Xueqi and Zeng Shushu were all there. He was on the list, and Lin Jingyu, who was in the limelight the night before, was also under his strong request, and everyone looked at him with admiration, and finally he was also on the list.
These eight people, after arranging the affairs in their respective sects, led by Xiao Yicai, harnessed their magic weapons one after another and headed towards Neize.
※※※
On the other side of the swamp, looking at the calm swamp ahead, Gui Li and the other three stood side by side, behind them were three rows of horses, each in a group, but facing each other, faintly vigilant.
Qin Wuyan sighed suddenly, and said: "Uncle Yuyangzi's first hero, now that he has melted into this marsh of death, is his death a worthy death?"
Gui Li was silent, Jin Ping'er smiled faintly and did not speak.
Qin Wuyan didn't care either, and said with a smile: "How about it, what are you two going to do next?"
Jin Ping'er glanced at him, turned around suddenly, and said while walking: "The big thing is over, so naturally it's time to part ways!"
Qin Wuyan looked at her back and raised his voice, "Oh! Could it be that the fairy is going back to take her life?"
Jin Ping'er didn't talk much, just smiled lightly. Qin Wuyan immediately said: "Then I will wait for the fairy in the Nei Ze. When the time comes, I will ask Fairy Jin to be merciful!"
Jin Ping'er didn't know if she heard or not, she walked away on her own, and the disciples of He Huan Sect also followed her.
Gui Li glanced at Qin Wuyan with cold eyes, then turned around and walked back to the crowd of Ghost King Sect.
Qin Wuyan stood where he was, smiling and saying nothing, but his eyes gradually turned cold.
In the swamp of death, the sky is getting darker and cloudier, as if a bigger storm is coming again.
