The three of them were silent for a while, Zeng Shushu was still lively and quick-witted, seeing that there was some embarrassment between Lin Jingyu and Fa Xiang, he first smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lin, how did you get here?"
Although Lin Jingyu is not very familiar with Zeng Shushu, but firstly, seeing his fellow disciples in such a strange place, he felt close to him; secondly, he knew in his heart that Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan were good friends, so for some reason, he had a good impression of him , nodded immediately and said: "I was separated from the senior brothers in the miasma just now. I rushed all the way, and I also rushed out and landed not far from here. I happened to see a magic weapon flashing here, so I rushed over to see it look."
Zeng Shushu chuckled, wiped the rainwater off his face with his hand, and said, "It seems that we are destined. In such a dangerous place, it's better to have more people, right? Brother Fa Xiang?"
Faxiang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right... er, has the rain stopped?"
Zeng Shushu and Lin Jingyu were stunned, they raised their heads to look at the sky, they did not know when, it had been raining non-stop just now, but it had gradually subsided, now the sky is getting brighter, even the sky seems to be a bit wider .
Lin Jingyu took a deep breath, only felt that the air in the forest after the rain was extremely fresh, as if it still had a hint of sweetness, seeping into the bottom of his heart.
Faxiang looked back at the strange flower that had been completely closed, and said: "This place is very weird, and this strange flower is not a good one, so we can't stay here for a long time. Let's leave here first!"
Lin Jingyu didn't speak, Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang is right, let's go!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Jingyu, who silently nodded.
After the three of them tidied up, they took up their magic weapons one after another and soared into the air.
Zeng Shushu pondered for a while in mid-air, and said loudly to the two of them: "Senior Brother Faxiang, Brother Lin, this forest is astonishingly large, and there are countless poisonous insects, strange beasts, and all kinds of vicious things. I'm afraid that the rumored rare treasure is just here. Deep in the forest, what should we do next?"
Lin Jingyu excitedly said: "Senior brother Zeng, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs?"
Zeng Shushu took a look at him, then turned his head to look at Fa Xiang, only to see Fa Xiang smiling and clasped his hands together, obviously he didn't have any objection, and said with a smile: "That's fine, let's explore this wild and desolate place, what is there?" A strange treasure was born?"
The three of them were all refreshed, activated their magic weapon, turned into three rays of light, and continued to fly deep into the forest.
※※※
The night gradually fell, and the sky was completely dark.
Lin Jingyu and the other three searched for half a day, but found nothing, not even a shadow of the rumored treasure. That's all right, but I have seen a lot of monsters and poisonous insects in this strange forest, and some of them are quite unbelievable. Sometimes even they fly past a big tree in mid-air, and there is a big tree on the big tree. A dead branch suddenly turned into a gray poisonous insect, and it opened its mouth to bite.
After such a series of events, although the three of them were outstanding in their own cultivation and most of them survived without any danger, they couldn't help being secretly startled.
Seeing that the night was getting dark at this moment, the three of them discussed it and found a large rock in the forest, which looked flat, so the three of them settled down on it to rest.
Zeng Shushu cautiously walked to the side, concentrating on his vigilance. At the same time, he took up the magic weapon Xuanyuan Sword, against the dim light, carefully guarded, picked and picked, and finally picked some relatively dry dead branches and came back, ready to light a fire.
Lin Jingyu watched from the side, and suddenly couldn't help laughing wryly, Zeng Shushu heard it in his ears, and looked at him, knowing what he was thinking, he couldn't help but also laughed out loud.
In the two thousand years since Qingyunmen established the sect, if one had picked firewood the most carefully and cautiously, it must be today's Zeng Shushu!
Turning around, Zeng Shushu took out the fire folder from his arms, but it rained heavily during the day, and the firewood nearby was a bit damp, and after a long time, there was a lot of smoke, so he lit the fire.
Faxiang glanced around and saw the darkness in the forest. After pondering for a moment, he greeted Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu, and motioned them to sit closer together. "Slowly sacrifice from his hands. After a while, the soft golden light flickered and spread out, forming a six-foot golden halo around the periphery, enveloping the three of them.
In the night, under the soft light of the Samsara Pearl, the complexions of the three of them were all slightly golden. Both Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu came from famous families, so naturally he could clearly see the skill of Faxiang. Although Lin Jingyu had a grudge against him, like Zeng Shushu, he immediately showed a look of admiration.
Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "Brother Fa Xiang has great mana, I admire, admire!"
Faxiang smiled slightly, and said: "There are too many poisonous insects here, I am afraid that the light of this small fire is not enough to defend against. With this 'Prajna Heart Circle', we don't have to worry about ordinary poisons tonight."
After finishing speaking, he smiled faintly at the two of them, and looked at Lin Jingyu intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Jingyu glanced at him, then slowly lowered his head, without saying anything, Faxiang slowly shifted his gaze back, looked at the three The small fire among the people, the light of the fire reflected in his eyes, I don't know what he was thinking in his heart
At this time, the atmosphere in the venue gradually quieted down, and the three of them didn't speak any more. They only heard the wind blowing suddenly in the deep night and darkness around them.
The sound of the wind seemed to be whimpering, like a sad woman crying alone a long time ago, floating gently in the forest, brushing over the treetops, brushing the branches and leaves.
The entire dark forest, in this dark night, suddenly seemed to have life, and opened its heart, allowing its descendants to sing freely and actively in its infinitely broad chest.
The night is darker, the wind blows through the forest.
The flame wavered.
Fa Xiang closed his eyes and meditated, Zeng Shushu seemed to be tired too, lying beside the fire with all his clothes on, he seemed to have fallen asleep. Only Lin Jingyu was still sitting on the other side of the fire, not feeling sleepy, with piercing eyes, staring blankly at the burning flames.
Slowly, he stretched out his hand, took a dead branch, snapped it into two pieces, and threw it gently into the fire.
The flames slowly devoured the dead branches and seemed to grow stronger again. Lin Jingyu suddenly felt something, and looked to the side, only to see that Fa Xiang opened his eyes at some point, looking at him silently.
"Junior brother Lin." Seemingly worried about Zeng Shushu who was sleeping, Fa Xiang lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Why don't you rest?"
Lin Jingyu withdrew his gaze, looked at the fire in front of him again, and said calmly after a while: "Master, didn't you sleep too?"
Faxiang said: "Young monk has always meditated and rested, and it has become a habit, but you are still young, Junior Brother Lin, so you should rest more."
Lin Jingyu remained silent, and after a while, he suddenly said: "In the past ten years, I have rarely slept."
Fa Xiang frowned, a little strange, and said, "Why?"
Lin Jingyu's eyes reflected the burning flames in front of him, flickering and flashing, he said slowly: "As long as I close my eyes, I will think of the innocent folks in Caomiao Village who died tragically, and I will think of Brother Xiaofan who unfortunately fell into the evil way .”
"Crack!" A crisp sound echoed softly in the deep night. Lin Jingyu broke off the dead branch in his hand again, and then slowly threw it into the fire.
The night is dark, and the forest in the darkness seems to be roaring silently in the silence in the distance.
Fa Xiang looked at Lin Jingyu silently, the young man next to the faint fire, seemed a little lonely at the moment, but so stubborn.
After a long while, he looked away, looking at the Samsara Orb floating gently in the air in front of him, and suddenly said: "Do you still miss Zhang Xiaofan and Junior Brother Zhang?"
Lin Jingyu didn't answer, but his eyes were cold, and he looked towards Fa.
There was a hint of pain in Faxiang's eyes, but his voice was still relatively calm, and he said slowly: "For the past ten years, he joined the Demon Sect's Ghost King Sect, and now he is the Deputy Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect. Everyone in the world knows that sooner or later he will be the Ghost King Sect The next generation of ghost king suzerain."
Having said that, he slowly turned his head to meet Lin Jingyu's gaze, the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch, but he continued on: "In the past ten years, he has killed people like hemp, devoured him, even killed demons. The people in the sect are also not named as the son of blood, and the righteous people in the world regard it as a serious problem... "
"Enough!" Lin Jingyu shouted suddenly, clenched his teeth tightly, and could faintly see veins in his clenched fist.
Fa Xiang stared at him, but continued: "If one day, you face him, what will you do?"
The night is getting colder, as if the whole world is so cold and ruthless.
Lin Jingyu's handsome face was lightly reflected by the golden light of the fire, he slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"He is my brother!" After an unknown amount of time, in the silence, Lin Jingyu suddenly spoke like this, decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
Faxiang looked at him without saying a word.
Lin Jingyu lowered his head slowly, and his voice was also a little lower: "I know, he has fallen into the evil way now, and there is no turning back. When we meet him again in the future, most likely it will be an enemy who swore to be irreconcilable..."
"Crack!" He snapped off the third branch, then slowly put it into the fire, and said quietly: "It's just that we have a life-and-death duel, or we swear not to fight, I don't care about you righteous seniors." What do you think, in my heart, even if there is a conflict between good and evil, sooner or later a battle, whether he wants to kill me or I want to kill him, I will treat him as my brother."
He smiled slightly, with a bit of bitterness and determination, and said lightly: "He is the only brother in my life!"
No one spoke.
In the ancient forest, it became more and more silent. In the cold wind, it seemed that someone was sighing quietly in the treetops, in the distant horizon...
※※※
Zeng Shushu suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was listening intently, but both Fa Xiang and Lin Jingyu were startled.
Lin Jingyu asked in surprise: "Brother Zeng, what's wrong?"
Zeng Shushu's expression was solemn, and he said: "Something is wrong, listen!"
Both Fa Xiang and Lin Jingyu were startled, they were so engrossed in their conversation just now that they didn't even notice the movement around them for a moment, now they quickly looked around and listened attentively.
In the forest, apart from the still humming of the wind, it seemed that there was still silence, and there was no movement at all. But after a while, they frowned at the same time. In the distance, there was a slight but dense "rustle" sound, as if a hundred insects were walking at night. Although it was hard to see clearly through the darkness, the sound seemed very far away. But such a thin voice sounds a bit creepy!
The expressions on the faces of the three were uncertain, Lin Jingyu frowned and said, "Could it be some kind of poisonous insect again?"
Zeng Shushu forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid the number is still quite a lot!"
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in the eyes of others. In this dead marsh full of poisonous insects and unpredictable dangers, after only one day, they had already become somewhat wary of the ominous creatures here, and here There are so many weird things of all kinds, I really don't know what will come out
Just when the three of them were concentrating on guarding, there was a loud commotion in the distance in front of the forest, and after a while, an angry shout was heard amidst the sound of insects, Lin Jingyu and the other three were startled, Zeng Shushu first He called out: "It's Senior Brother Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley!"
Lin Jingyu's expression was shocked, and he said quickly: "Senior brother Li may be in danger, I'll go out to meet him..."
As he was speaking, he was about to move, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and pulled him down, but it was the Dharma appearance, and he said quickly: "I'm going, this place is very dangerous, you two are in the circle of Prajna In the middle, don't move lightly."
As he said that, without waiting for Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu's objections, he floated, and the moon-white monk's robe supported his body and flew into the air. After a while, his figure disappeared into the darkness in front of him.
Both Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu were stunned for a moment, but only a moment later, the commotion in front of them broke out again, there was a lot of angry shouting, insects chirping loudly, and there were a few sounds of surprise in between. It was obvious that Dharma Prime Minister had arrived near Li Xun. Connected with those unknown monsters.
The night was deep, and the cold night wind in the forest suddenly seemed to grow louder, the sound was shrill, and the noise in front became louder and louder, but the darkness was like an insurmountable high wall, blocking the way of Zeng Shushu and Lin Jingyu. in front of you.
Crying like a ghost, howling like a wolf!
Just when Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu were losing their composure and were about to rush out, there was a sharp howl in front of them, the insects were instantly silenced, and figures flickered in the depths of the darkness, and the two figures floated back at the same time. As for Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley, both of their clothes were torn, and Li Xun's body was covered with blood.
I saw that their figures were extremely fast, and within a short while, they floated back into the glittering golden circle. Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu rushed forward to meet them, but they both had tired looks on their faces.
Without waiting for Lin Jingyu and the others to ask questions, Li Xun raised his eyebrows and shouted suddenly: "Be careful!"
Everyone was shocked again, but they only heard the sound of insects in the darkness of the surrounding forest. They surrounded them from all directions, densely packed, surrounded them in the middle, and they didn't know how many strange and terrifying eyes, emitting faint Light, peeping at them in the dark!
※※※
"What?" Zeng Shushu opened his eyes wide, looked around, and asked Faxiang and Li Xun at the same time.
Li Xun said with a cold face, "There are many giant ants, everyone be careful!"
Both Lin Jingyu and Zeng Shushu were taken aback, Zeng Shushu wondered, "What is it?"
At this moment, Faxiang next to him suddenly said softly: "Be careful, here we come!"
Everyone was startled, and quickly concentrated their attention, only to see that under the light of the fire and the golden light of the reincarnation pearl, in the deep darkness of the surrounding forest, there was a loud rustling sound, and gradually black shadows gathered and surrounded them from all directions.
When the black shadow approached, Lin Jingyu and the others looked carefully, and they all took a breath. They saw monsters crawling out of the darkness all around them. They were all ant-like monsters, but each of these things But they all have the size of an ordinary person's calf, but the number seems to be endless. In an instant, the creepy sound of rustling filled the forest glade.
Zeng Shushu and the others are quite advanced in practice, and their faces are a little pale at this moment, but those giant ants don't know whether they are a little afraid of the Prajna heart circle arranged by the Dharma image, or the pile of flames burning in the field. It was only half a foot away, and they didn't get close, but there were more and more giant ants coming out of the darkness, and there were at least tens of thousands of them.
The faces of the four people were a little pale, and the wind was shrill, passing through the ancient forest, as if they were laughing at these stupid humans and disturbing the ancient peace here.
In the distant sound of the wind, there seemed to be a faint flute sound, floating with the wind.
Li Xun's complexion changed again and again, and he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Which demon cult evildoer is pretending to be a ghost here?"
When he drank, the momentum was not small, and it seemed that even the sound of the wind stopped temporarily.
This time, not only Zeng Shushu and Lin Jingyu, but also Fa Xiang was taken aback. When he went out to meet Li Xun just now, he only saw countless giant ants, and did not find any magicians. He immediately asked: "What, these giant ants Is it the work of the Demon Cult demon?"
Li Xun snorted, looked around sharply, and said: "That's right, at nightfall, I suddenly met a strange man near here. After asking about it, the man immediately turned his face and used it. As for these monsters, they all used some crooked methods to control such ferocious things... "
Before Li Xun could finish his sentence, someone in the darkness suddenly laughed lightly and said, "This hero of the righteous way really spoke clearly, but I remember that you were the one who attacked me first, right?"
This voice is a male voice, it sounds like he is not very old, but his voice is erratic, and he can't tell where he is for a while
Li Xun's complexion changed. Under such an unfavorable situation, he showed no trace of fear, and said loudly: "Since you are a demon cultist, I naturally want to eliminate demons and subdue demons. If you are a man, stand up and we will fight three times alone. One hundred rounds, with these ignorant beasts, what kind of heroes are you?"
The male voice suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "You righteous heroes are the ones who become heroes, and it's not my turn."
As he spoke, the sound of the flute sounded faintly, and the giant ants suddenly parted to make way, a young man slowly walked out from the darkness, standing outside the golden Prajna heart circle, standing with a smile and a refined demeanor.
It was Qin Wuyan from the Wandu Sect!
Fa Xiang looked stern, looked him over carefully, and suddenly said: "You are young, your skills are unfathomable, and you can control thousands of poisonous insects. Could it be that he is the son of Qin Wuyan, who is known as the son of poison?"
Qin Wuyan frowned, turned his eyes to take a closer look at Faxiang, and suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out to be the Faxiang master of Tianyin Temple. No wonder Fayan is like a torch, and it is Qin Wuyan." He paused for a while, and said leisurely : "People say that among the young disciples of the three sects of the Righteous Way, Master Faxiang of Tianyin Temple is recognized as the leader, with deep knowledge and high morality. When I saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. Qin Wuyan is being polite here."
After all, he nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
Fa Xiang frowned, and almost at the same time, he heard Li Xun snorted softly, and his heart trembled.
Qin Wuyan had a smile on his face, but his thoughts changed quickly. Different from others, he was born in the Demon Sect Wan Poison Sect, and entering the inner marsh where there are countless fierce beasts and poisonous insects, others treat him with fear, but to him, it is like entering a treasure mountain suddenly. Extremely happy.
The highly poisonous things that are usually encountered but not found are everywhere at this moment, and there are countless strange poisonous insects that he has never heard of before. In the eyes of a master poison user, they are more precious than thousands of gold and silver. times.
The Wan Poison Sect has always been independent among the demon sects. Although the practice methods and other sects all come from the "Book of Heaven", what they have inherited and passed down is the magical cultivation method supplemented by various strange poisonous things With practice, for hundreds of years, the masters from this sect are often masters in using poison.
And to be able to find the strongest and most poisonous poison, for the members of the Wandu Sect, the help in practice is immeasurable.
Qin Wuyan is the current disciple of the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Poison God. He is extremely talented, and he is even a genius when it comes to using poison. After entering this inner marsh, he was very pleasantly surprised when he saw the scene here. He collected a lot of poisons in the past few days, and even encountered the highly poisonous giant ants that are unique to this dead marsh. Try it, maybe it is because the Demon Cult's "Book of Heaven" really contains the unpredictable nature of heaven and earth, and such wild beasts were successfully controlled by Qin Wuyan in the method handed down from the book of heaven.
While Qin Wuyan was overjoyed, he suddenly ran into Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley nearby. The two of them had a disagreement, and when they started fighting, Qin Wuyan simply recruited these countless "Dead Marsh Giant Ants". , but surrounded by these countless giant ants, he could only parry at once. If the Dharma Xiang did not arrive in time, he would have suffered a big loss.
It's just that in the current situation, together with Fa Xiang, Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu, Li Xun and other four people, they are trapped by this young but capable Qin Wuyan.
