Chapter 35: The Demon Man
Standing in front of the phantom whispered a Buddhist chant, a few moments later, a flickering solemn golden light bead from his hands offered up, at first this light still seems to be attached to the phantom, but with the phantom of the mana to urge, in an instant the golden light is very big, with the bead as the center, the golden light such as a tidal wave generally surging to the four directions.
Zhang Xiaofan stood in place, almost mistakenly ear "whistling" a whistling, the golden circle of light has swept past his body.
Every person's face was reflected into a light golden color, at the same time, a burst of relief, even if there are a few nervousness, but also in an instant to calm down. A large space, in the blink of an eye has been as bright as day, if it is not the strange stone hideous and bats wriggling, almost let a person think that to the Buddha's victory.
Li Xun, who has always been eyeing the top, was a little surprised at the moment, standing aside and said in surprise: "Reincarnation beads!"
Dharma Phase glanced at him and said, "Senior Brother Li has good eyesight."
Li Xun, however, seemed to be a little more polite to Dharma Phase, saying, "I don't dare to, Dharma Phase Senior Brother, you are the one who has a high level of Taoism."
Zhang Xiaofan, by the light of the "Reincarnation Pearl", could already see that his feet had indeed stepped on clean hard ground, and looking up, he saw that at the top of the rocky cave above his head, those black bats had somehow disappeared, but the "rustling" sound was clearly still in his ears. The sound of "rustling" is still clearly in his ears.
He carefully looked at two eyes, only to find that, behind the top of the cave, countless black bats are still gathered at the top of the cave, but on the hard ground above their feet, the rock at the top of the cave, but there is a red line across the top of the cave, look at that look like the veins born in the rock in general.
To this red thin line as the boundary, countless bats are gathered crowded in the outside, actually no one crossed the red line, and feet a stone's throw away, there is no more outside the stink of bat feces.
Dharma phase looked around, said in a deep voice: "There are many oddities here, all of you must be careful."
How do the people not know, but it was not easy to step on a clean place, after checking the surroundings there is nothing strange, most people's first action is to organize the clothes on the body.
Standing next to Zhang Xiaofan, Zeng Shushu took off his shoes, poured out the disgusting things inside, and whispered to Zhang Xiaofan, "For the first time in my life, I know that walking on a clean road is so comfortable!"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and quickly cleaned up, and the whole person felt more comfortable.
After a while, Qi Hao saw that everyone was almost all better, so he said, "Let's go." Saying that, he went deeper into the cave first.
All the people followed, and soon, as their footsteps moved forward, their backs were plunged into endless darkness again.
In front of them, the darkness was like a demonic beast, opening its arms with a fierce smile, welcoming them.
A little light in the darkness, slowly moving forward.
Just like this also do not know how far to go, this ancient deep cave actually seems to have no end in general, although it has also been very spacious, but the twists and turns, curved, in addition to presumably tilted towards the ground, almost let a person can not distinguish the direction.
The rustling of the bats at the mouth of the cave had long been lost, in this darkness, apart from the footsteps of the crowd, there was no other sound, Zhang Xiaofan felt that the humidity around him was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't know how deep into the ground he had already gone.
Dharma phase sacrificed "reincarnation beads" still exudes the golden Buddha light, shining everyone, and in the forefront of the Qi Hao at this time in order to prevent any eventualities, but also to the six mirror sacrificed up.
The two kinds of treasures reflect each other, just like this and walked for a while, has been walking in the front of the Qi Hao suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to the back side of the people said: "Slow."
The crowd immediately stopped.
The surroundings were quiet, without a sound.
The light of "Reincarnation bead" and "six mirrors" gradually brightened up, and in front of everyone's eyes, the cave in front of them, two forked paths opened up, deep and dark, leading to nowhere, as if a demon had opened its mouth.
And in the middle of the road, at the same time is also the center of the two forks of the road, erected a piece of six people high huge stone monument, above the carving of four big blood red words.
The heavenly way is in me!
Burning Incense Valley Li Xun grunted and said angrily, "Demon sect demon, how dare you claim the Heavenly Dao!"
Dharma phase but frowned, to this stone monument a few more eyes, said: "I came to have heard benefactor Pu Hong Shang said, eight hundred years ago the demonic sect in this cave does have this piece of stone monument, but at that time has been my righteousness immortal with a great power of a sword to chop open, today see, how is it intact?"
At this time, has been silent burning incense valley Yan Hong suddenly opened his mouth: "You see that monument under the four points, but there is a broken mark?"
Her voice was soft and charming, hearing it actually made people's hearts flutter, coupled with the fact that it was the first time for the Qing Yun Sect's crowd to hear Yan Hong open her mouth, their hearts were all slightly surprised. The crowd walked up to take a closer look, and indeed, they saw that there was a tiny crack in that place, slanting upwards, dividing the entire stone monument into two halves, and the texture of the stone at the crack appeared a dark, dark red color, but if they didn't take a closer look, they would never be able to see it.
Qi Hao nodded and said to Yan Hong, "Senior sister Yan is so fine minded."
Yan Hong smiled faintly and lowered her head again, no longer speaking.
Qi Hao looked at the stone monument twice more and turned to the crowd, "Since this stone monument has been restored by someone, it is evident that most of the Demon Sect's demonic people are here, doing some unseemly deeds, so we've come to the right place this time."
Fa Xiang then said, "Brother Qi has a point, right now this cave is full of crises, there is a dilemma right in front of us, these two forked paths, which one should we take?"
Qi Hao pondered slightly and said, "Senior Brother Fa Xiang, you just said that your teacher, Divine Monk Pu Hong, had mentioned this place to you, so did his old man mention this fork in the road?"
Dharma phase nodded and said, "En master did mention it, but he also learned it from the mouth of his ancestor in the previous generation, it is said that during the war between the righteous and the demons back then, after these two forked paths there was where the demon nests of the demon sects were located, as for the situation nowadays, he is not very clear about it either."
Everyone was silent, after a while, Qi Hao looked at the other three people of this sect, and said to Fa Xiang and others, "Since this is the case, I think it would be better to split the army into two, I, the four people of Qing Yun Sect, will check out the left fork, Fa Xiang, Fa Shan and the two people of Burning Incense Valley will check out the right fork, and if we meet the Demon Cult Demon, we will use a long whistling whistle to signal a warning, how about it?"
Dharma phase silent, although I know that this is not good to spread out, but the cave is deep, do not know how far these two forks, in case of going wrong and then turn back, I am afraid that the delay is too much, and the people present are the elite of each faction, may not not be able to self-protection.
At that moment, he turned his head to look at Burning Incense Valley Li Xun, Yan Hong, saw that the two of them did not object, so he said, "Then, according to what Senior Brother Qi said, all of you must be careful."
Saying that, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhang Xiaofan again.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart fluttered, feeling that this Dharma Phase Senior Brother really seemed to be looking at him differently, but he still reported a smile on his face.
Qi Hao nodded, and with a clasp of his fists to Dharma Phase and the others, he led Zhang Xiaofan and the other three into the left fork in the road, and within a few steps, the light behind him turned around and faded away as well, and it appeared that Dharma Phase and the others had also entered the right fork in the road.
Qi Hao walked in the forefront, put up the six mirrors, catalyze the immortal power, six mirrors light yellow aperture sprinkled down, the four people in the middle of the cover.
This fork in the road than just walked all the way to the cave, it seems to be much narrower, and at the same time both sides of the rocky outcrops, sharp clumps, Zhang Xiaofan accidentally almost hung color. The only thing that is the same is the eternal darkness around, here, it seems that there has never been a trace of light.
Green Cloud Sect four people are not in the mood to talk, especially walking in the forefront of the Qi Hao, is fully concentrated, guard against unknown dangers ahead.
This walk, again for a long time, so much so that Zhang Xiaofan could not help but doubt in his heart, even if his side encountered the Demon Sect Demon and let out a long whistle, but whether or not the Dharma Phase Senior Brother there could hear it was really a question.
Right at this moment, a sudden change, the people traveling in the aisle, as if the eternal darkness and quiet around, suddenly sounded a huge "uh-oh" ghost cry, deafening, heard the heart.
Four people were shocked, Qi Hao just want to open his mouth to remind, is a body shock, only to see from all directions in the endless darkness, light up all colors of foreign awns, at the same time rushed to the aisle where the four people, hit in the six mirrors on top of the aperture.
The power of this big, even the six mirrors is also a swing, Qi Hao is even more body shock, actually can no longer speak, and hastily set his mind, add force to protect.
The sound of ghosts crying louder and louder, straight to hear people dizziness, Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan will be Qi Hao protection in the center, only to see countless rays of light by the six mirrors counter-attack back in the air turned a corner, but also is a vicious fold back again rushed to the darkness, but I do not know how many enemies are hidden, in the air, I do not know how many treasures are fluttering.
Qi Hao face pale, hands clenched spells, although in the outside world under the siege of magic treasures, but the six mirrors are still gradually stabilized, the light circle gradually, just in the Qingyun Sect people will be relieved, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly found that the hard ground under his feet even moved a little.
Before he could react, he heard Zeng Shushu cry out, "Be careful, there's something under your feet..."
Words did not finish, a loud noise, but also over the sky whistling, in an instant everyone just feel the mountains shaking the ground, a strong force from the feet of a sudden surge, the ground will be blown to pieces, not to mention the Qingyun door four people are flying east and west, the six mirrors can protect the surroundings, but can not prevent the feet, the sudden difficulty of the internal, the light was scattered, back to the Qi Hao flew out of the figure above.
In the darkness, countless rays of light whistled past, as if emitting a proudly maniacal laughter, respectively, to the separation of the four people rushed over.
Zhang Xiaofan stood in front, was that a strong force from the feet of a push, the whole person can not help but fly forward, but he actually in the Qingyun Sect cultivation for many years, shocked but not chaotic, long held in the hands of the burning stick to the chest, the familiar cold feeling swim all over the body, the "burning stick" in mid-air emitted a faint greenish luster, is facing the back closely! The "Burning Stick" emitted a light green color in mid-air, facing the several rays of light that were chasing after it.
A moment later, one of the dark red light first rushed to the front, Zhang Xiaofan immediately smelled a bloody odor, a few want to vomit, rushed to hold his breath, drive the fire stick, Xuanqing light rose, against the dark red light, in the light of the fire stick, I do not know how, the dark red light suddenly dimmed a lot.
In an unknown place in the darkness, a low voice of astonishment suddenly came from the darkness.
Just then, the other two rays of light, one yellow and one gray, also rushed over and hit the burning stick together. Zhang Xiaofan, through the light, only then could he see that the dark red light just now was a small dark red fork with thick blood traces, while the yellow light was a three-foot-long sword, and the gray light was big and weird, a huge unknown beast fang!
Zhang Xiaofan body is still in mid-air, this has been stabilized, unexpectedly by these three pieces of magic treasure collision, although there is a "burning stick" in the air against, but the huge force is actually his whole person backward pushed straight over, no longer can not control, heavy hit on the side of the stone wall above, straight sunk half of a person into the stone debris flying horizontally.
Zhang Xiaofan eyes Venus straight, back pain into the heart, but know that this is a life and death situation, desperately grit his teeth to endure the pain, fell to the ground, see that three pieces of life-supporting things in the air a turn, and is viciously rushed down.
In the darkness, I don't know where those who control the magic treasure are.
Zhang Xiaofan left and right, clenched the magic secret with a whine, fire stick in the air, in mid-air and rushing yellow flying sword, beast fangs collide, a loud noise, each shocked away.
The other one chased to the dark red fork to collect the momentum is not as good as, rumbling sound hit in the stone wall behind where he just stood, rubble flying, actually in the stone wall hit a big hole to.
At this time, the gray fangs are back, head smashed down, flashing with the tip of the teeth of the cold light in the darkness is particularly eye-catching, look at its momentum, Zhang Xiaofan do not want to know the consequences of this odd treasure smashed into their own bodies.
Zhang Xiaofan clenched his teeth, both hands in the air, the fire stick, a flash of green light, appeared in the top of the head hit that fang, in mid-air, only to hear a low muffled sound, that fang on top of a crack is now present.
In the distance, there was a cry of alarm, with a great sense of pain and shock.
Just Zhang Xiaofan simply too late to recall this little bit of poor joy, yellow flying sword in the twinkling of an eye and has rushed to the front, Zhang Xiaofan less than reaction, forehead sweating, in a critical situation, shouted, hands vibration, the whole person floated upward, dissolved into the burning stick Xuanqing light.
Yellow flying sword is not the slightest bit of leeway, in mid-air a turn, from the bottom of the foot is again rushed up, on the fangs, under the flying sword, Zhang Xiaofan whole body trembled slightly, no longer less than much thought, the body shrinks, mouth chanting incantation, the burning stick of green light is released, the fire stick, will be surrounded by the group.
"Boom", two loud sounds almost simultaneously sounded at Zhang Xiaofan's head and feet respectively, the enemy's two magic treasures rushed backward. The Burning Stick trembled in the air, Zhang Xiaofan gasped for breath, his heart almost stopped beating at that moment, and between those moments of hallucination, he almost subconsciously thought that he saw the Burning Stick crack into pieces.
But fortunately, this don't know what material burning stick although ugly, but actually tough, intact; look at that flying sword fangs, light dim, most likely damaged.
But that said, the burning stick by this heavy blow, rise to protect Zhang Xiaofan's green light will also scattered away.
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed, and was about to recall the Fire Stick, when suddenly a sharp pain came to his shoulder, half of his body was weak, and his mind went blank. Lowering his head, he only saw a small dark red fork emerge from his chest and shoulder, penetrating out, crimson blood gushing out.
It was actually the small dark red fork that took advantage of Zhang Xiaofan's slackness to sneak attack and hit him hard.
Zhang Xiaofan only saw that small fork above, the original dark red color at the moment even seemed to light up, as if smelling the smell of blood awakening general.
He groaned lowly, wanted to reach out and pull away the small fork, suddenly, with the deepening of the dark red small fork on the blood-colored traces, a shadow in the darkness as if out of nothing in general, from the small fork rose up, and then tightly attached to Zhang Xiaofan's back.
The owner of this small dark red fork looked to be parasitized on top of this magic treasure.
Zhang Xiaofan only felt dizzy and powerless to shake off the demon behind him. And in addition to the pain at the wound, at the moment also came a numb and itchy feeling, only to be afraid that most of the upper side is still highly poisonous.
He looked out of the corner of his eye, but he could not see the face of the demon behind him, only to see him tightly grasping a hand on the shoulder, dry and dirty, fishy odor.
In the distance, there was a burst of maniacal laughter, and behind him, there was also a sorrowful voice: "Brats of the Qing Yun Sect, this is your own way to die, obediently give me your essence blood!"
Before Zhang Xiaofan could react to the meaning of his words, he understood from his actions, only to see that the demonic man in the shadows actually opened his mouth wide, biting above Zhang Xiaofan's left neck and sucking blood in a big gulp.
At the same time, that small dark red fork was even brighter, as if it was also drinking blood.
Zhang Xiaofan was extremely fearful, but felt that the blood of the whole body to the throat, the body has a light feeling, the strength of the whole body are slowly dispersed in general, even in mid-air burning stick he was also unable to support, fell down.
In this situation, in a trance, he suddenly seemed to return to the past, that one valley.
That nightmare!
The burning stick fell from above his head, and when it landed in front of him, it emitted a faint green light, as if summoning something. Zhang Xiaofan grabbed it, and all he felt was that cold sensation surging from the Burning Fire Stick, like a raging fury.
The blood on his body kept flowing out, being sucked by the demon, Zhang Xiaofan could no longer hear any sound from the outside world at this moment, just fighting the last ounce of energy in his body, like a beast of burden, the flickering green light of the burning stick forcefully toward the demon behind him to insert.
The fire stick is blunt, but at this moment even regarded that flesh and blood body as tofu, like a crackerjack to inserted into.
The body of the demon behind him trembled, stopped sucking blood, seemed to be unable to believe, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaofan, who also saw him at the same time.
In the underworld, as if it was the low cold laughter of a demon from the Nine Hells, and as if it was someone's heartbeat in the darkness, Zhang Xiaofan's hand holding the burning stick felt a wave of heartbeats, as if it was the flow of blood, and as if it was the demon's cheering!
The light on the small dark red fork quickly dimmed, and behind it, endless darkness rushed over.
In that instant when the darkness engulfed Zhang Xiaofan and that demonic man, Zhang Xiaofan saw a scene that he could not forget even in his lifetime under his semi-conscious delirium.
That demonic man's originally wrinkled but still full face dried up in a moment, and his flesh and blood turned into withered skin that was attached to his bones.
In the next moment, darkness surrounded him.
What was lost was regained, and an unending stream of power came from the Burning Fire Stick Rod and dissolved into his body.
Zhang Xiaofan regained his consciousness, but he was stunned, the injury on his shoulder was still painful, but the gushing blood had already stopped under the effect of that unknown power, but to this teenager, at this moment, he actually didn't notice any of this at all. In his mind, there was only one thought:
What have I done? What have I done?
