Chapter 272 Is this really how you hold grudges?
Four years have passed since the trip to Mount Kongsang. The little girl from back then should be old now, right?
After leaving Kongsang Mountain, Zhou Ji flew to a small town hundreds of miles away for a temporary rest. He originally thought that he would accompany Si Teng to Ghost King Zong to have a look at her "little apprentice" in two days, but after meeting Xiaoer In the chat, I heard that there was a streamer flying over the town a few days ago, and I immediately became interested.
After further investigation, it turns out that since last month, some weird people have been coming to the town one after another. Some pass through this place to buy supplies, and some pass by without stopping, because Kongsang Mountain is located in a remote place and has been abandoned for more than 800 years. Rarely have there been so many strangers.
Zhou Ji frowned slightly and then stretched it out, threw a piece of silver to Xiaoer to dismiss him, and looked at Si Teng who was leaning on the railing and looking out the window.
"It seems that we don't have to go to the Ghost King School anymore." Zhou Ji lifted the sand pot and poured a cup of tea for Si Teng, and said with a chuckle.
Si Teng turned his eyes to look at Zhou Ji, a trace of warmth flashed across his cold eyes, "Yaoer also came to Kongsang Mountain?"
"Maybe it hasn't arrived yet, maybe it's already here." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "It's about the secret treasure house of the black-hearted old man. Even if thousands of people come here in person, I won't be surprised."
While speaking, a middle-aged literati with an extraordinary bearing came from a distance. His eyes looked refined but there was a kind of arrogance without anger. He was dressed in a Confucian robe and a lavender jade pendant was pinned to his waist. The grayness of the town was completely different. Pedestrians retreated one after another along the way. Sensing the commotion on the street, Si Teng glanced out the window from the corner of his eye and turned his eyes back to Zhou Ji.
"Here, here he is."
Zhou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked out the window, and happened to meet the person who came. Ten thousand people looked at the two people by the window on the second floor in astonishment, paused for a moment, then showed a gentle and kind smile, and walked towards the restaurant .
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou and Ms. Si Teng to be here too?" Ten thousand people walked up to the second floor, Zhou Ji had already asked Xiao Er to add a seat and bowls and chopsticks, and ten thousand people did not see each other, and they were the same as Zhou Ji. After Si Teng said hello, he sat down and sighed, "Ever since Mr. Zhou and Miss Si Teng left the Ghost King Sect, there has been no news. Yaoer has been pestering Xiao Chi and Wan Mou all day long to see Master. This time I sent people to look for the traces of the two, but I didn't expect to see each other today after the difference at the beginning."
Si Teng couldn't help being a little silent when he heard the words, thinking back to the little girl lying in front of the dressing table looking longingly at her makeup, with a faint smile on her lips, "I couldn't catch up with Yaoer's gift, I and Zhou Ji is also planning to visit Ghost King Zong to see her~"
"What a coincidence~~ Yao'er happens to be in Kongsang Mountain right now."
Ten thousand people laughed and told Zhou Ji and Si Teng that there had been rumors of the secret treasure house of the black-hearted old man in Wanbao Ancient Cave in recent years, so he sent You Ji and Biguio to accompany him, while paying attention to the movements of Qingyunmen, while investigating the matter The truth about the treasure house.
Speaking of this, everyone can't help showing a little bit of doubt. Mr. Zhou has always been elusive, and now he has to meet here by chance. Could it be that he is also interested in the treasure house of the black-hearted old man?
As soon as this idea came to my mind, it was immediately dispelled by thousands of people. The sword at the Ghost King Zongzong altar ten years ago is still unforgettable to this day. Every time I think of it, I seem to feel the coldness of the sword touching my throat, When he was awake, his hair stood on end and he was sweating coldly.
Seeing Zhou Ji again now, ten thousand people can feel that the other party's aura has become more and more elusive. The strength of a monk is a consideration mixed with many factors such as cultivation base, realm, magic weapon, technique, etc. Ten thousand people can see it at a glance Although Chu Si Teng's cultivation has improved compared to four years ago, Zhou Ji now seems to be covered with a thin layer of mist. At the beginning, he could feel the shockingly thick mana, but now it is hazy. Can't see clearly either.
The more unfathomable you are, the more you should try your best to make friends.
After eating, Wanwan invited Zhou Ji and Si Teng to go together with Baguio all the way with a sincere face, and he knew in his heart that Kongsang Mountain at this time not only gathered people from the Demon Cult, but also Qingyunmen, Fenxiang, etc. For the young disciples of Gu and Tianyin Temple's three sects, once Zhou Ji and Si Teng appeared in the Ghost King Sect's forces, they would have already been classified into the demon camp in the hearts of righteous people.
This idea has been planned four years ago, but it is a pity that after Zhou Ji and Si Teng left the Ghost King Sect, they did not travel the world and become famous in the practice world as he thought, but instead lived in seclusion. I just happened to come across it until today.
Zhou Ji was vaguely aware of the schemes of thousands of people, but he didn't care too much. He had no intention of intervening in the battle between righteousness and evil in this world. He turned his head to see the flash of thought in Si Teng's eyes, and immediately agreed to the other party. invitation.
On the other side, deep in the cave, at the bottom of the abyss of death.
A group of faint blue light enveloped the two people surrounded by darkness.
The blackness on Lu Xueqi's face had dissipated, but she was still unconscious, there was an inaudible soft sound of water waves hitting the shallows in the distance, Zhang Xiaofan turned his head to look around, opened his eyes hard, trying to see where he was , but the darkness is too deep, the whole world seems to have nothing but darkness and silence.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from a distance, the footsteps in the dark were soft and harmonious, but to Zhang Xiaofan's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
Zhang Xiaofan stood up nervously, at the same time he held the fire stick tightly, protecting Lu Xueqi behind him.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a little light, walking towards the two of them, a young woman reflected by the light, wearing a water-green dress, with fine eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and jade-like skin that was stronger than frost and snow, seemed to be carrying her in the darkness. In addition to the monster-like gorgeousness, there is a kind of soul-stirring and strange beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly opened his mouth wide and was speechless, this woman was actually the green-clothed girl he met in the mountain and sea garden in Heyang City when he went down the mountain.
"Coincidentally, it's you?" Bi Yao saw Zhang Xiaofan who was holding a fire stick and was also taken aback, couldn't help chuckling, "Is this your magic weapon? I've heard that Qingyunmen's magic weapon is not limited by appearance , I didn’t expect there to be someone with a firestick? Hmm~~ It looks...quite unique.”
Those who can come to the bottom of the abyss of death are definitely not ordinary people.
When he got closer, Zhang Xiaofan noticed that there was a small white flower on the jade finger of Bi Yao's right hand, and the light he saw just now was the faint white light emanating from this small flower, covering the woman in front of him. Among them, it is like a beautiful lily blooming in the dark, pure and elegant.
But Zhang Xiaofan has no time to take care of this flower now, although facing this strange woman, he still has some vigilance in his heart, but no matter what, seeing her in this dark and lonely Necromancer Abyss, he immediately feels a little more close.
"What? Are you angry?" Baguio felt more and more amused by the anger on his face, and smiled lightly, "Shouldn't you be wondering why I know you are a disciple of Qingyun Sect?"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled when he heard the words, and murmured: "That's right, I only told you my name last time, and didn't tell you my origin?"
"Puff~" Baguio burst into a smile, like a flower blooming, unparalleled in beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan immediately understood that he was being teased by the other party. Although his character was simple and honest, he was not really stupid. Looking at the enigmatic woman in front of him, he frowned slightly, feeling that the other party was not easy.
When he asked about the 'Dripping Blood Cave' and revealed his identity as a 'Demon Sect Demoness', Zhang Xiaofan's heart sank, and suddenly he felt an empty sense of loss, but this thought was only fleeting, without leaving any traces, Then he snorted, his expression becoming more alert.
Since he entered Qingyunmen, since he was a child, he has heard from his elders and brothers how to harm the world and be cruel and innocent. Qingyunmen's rules strictly forbid to associate with people in the way of demons. They are enemies of life and death. Dai Tian.
However, he and the woman in front of him don't have any deep hatred. When he saw her in Shanhaiyuan last time, she was even encouraged by her.
Deep in the abyss of death, they should help each other, Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to fight with each other, but Bi Yao took the lead, so he had no choice but to wave the fire stick to block the falling petals in front of him.
Baguio was quite surprised that Zhang Xiaofan was able to block her sneak attack. You must know that her 'sad flower' is a rare and rare treasure, it can be attacked and defended, and it can also emit a strange fragrance, which directly penetrates the opponent's magic power, making her People are paralyzed and unconscious.
The strange light of the two people's hands flashed across the darkness, and after a while, You Ji led her men to find this place, and the originally calm and peaceful sea gradually broke up waves and became more and more turbulent.
Outside Kongsang Mountain, Wan Wan led Zhou Ji and Si Teng to the residence in Lin Zhong following the hidden sign left by the disciples of the Ghost King Sect. The disciples who stayed behind learned that Baguio had brought You Ji into the village five days ago. into the cave.
For Baguio's experience this time, thousands of people are already well prepared. As one of the four guardians of the Ghost King Sect, You Ji is very powerful. The five accompanying disciples are also elite in the sect. Logically speaking, they should not encounter anything. It's dangerous.
In case of danger, he can also invite Zhou Ji to enter the cave together, looking for Baguio.
People don't always know that the black water snake is under the Necromancer Abyss, but Si Teng knows it. Even though Zhou Ji has repeatedly said that this trip is safe and safe, there should be no accidents, but Si Teng is still a little worried. He had no choice but to agree to enter the cave first to see the situation, so he sneaked into the Wanbat Ancient Cave in the dark that day, and rushed all the way to the Necromancer Abyss.
In just a few days, the depths of the cave had clearly experienced a fierce battle. The chaotic spirit filled it, and the ground was full of broken and shattered stalactites.
Zhou Ji frowned slightly, and walked along the traces of the struggle, suddenly stopped at his feet, and saw that the huge rock in front of the cliff in Necromancer Abyss had rolled into the abyss, and a corner of the crack extending from the ground was missing. He looked down at the cliff. At the bottom, the abyss is endlessly dark, and various gloomy lights can be vaguely seen to light up from it. Zhou Ji hides sideways into the darkness. A dim white light accompanied by two equally dim golden lights penetrates the densely packed ghosts. Lingyuan broke through and landed on the platform in front of the cliff.
Even dimmer than these rays of light are the eyes of one of the women.
The blood and mud covered up the dust and cleanliness of Shengxue in the white clothes, and he tightly grasped the collar of the leader, and said sadly, "Senior Brother Qihao, please help Junior Brother Zhang, maybe he is still under the Necromancer Abyss , waiting for us to rescue him."
Qi Hao showed bitterness on his face. After a hard fight, no one can survive alone.
Rescuing Lu Xueqi by him and Faxiang Fashan is the limit, let alone the question of whether Zhang Xiaofan can survive being besieged by the demon sect and attacked by the black water black snake, just go to Necromancer to retrieve Zhang Xiaofan's body , How dare he guarantee that he will retreat completely and escape from the siege of the ghosts.
During the dispute, Lu Xueqi became more and more agitated. She who was always cold and indifferent had rarely been shaken like this.
In the end, she was seriously injured and her mana was overdrawn. Lu Xueqi spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at the Necromancer Abyss in front of her with a mournful expression, her eyes darkened, and she fell forward.
"Junior Sister Lu!" Qi Hao looked terrified, and quickly pulled Lu Xueqi up, and Fa Xiang took Lu Xueqi's pulse and confirmed that there was no problem, and then he was relieved.
Looking back at the direction of Necromancer, Qi Hao's eyes flashed a trace of helpless self-blame and unwillingness.
Watching the four of them drifting away and disappearing into the depths of the cave, Zhou Ji stepped out of the shadows, sighed softly, shook his head with a complicated expression, and stepped down the abyss one step at a time.
At the bottom of the Necromancer Abyss, Zhou Ji also met You Ji and her subordinates who were seriously injured.
On the ruthless sea, huge waves surged into the sky, and the black water black snake's giant eyes burst into green light. As if it was startled by something, it let out a roar that shook the sky, and all the people present covered their ears with their hands. It was the most profound but still felt that the brain was buzzing, and the disciples of the Ghost King Sect around him rolled over and fell to the ground, scratching their ears so that blood flowed out.
A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of You Ji's mouth, and she looked at the black water snake roaring towards the sky in amazement, "What's the matter? The black water snake can still explode with such strength, but why is it heading in another direction? What is more terrifying existence?"
Turning her head to look in the direction where the black water snake was roaring, it was a pity that before she could see it clearly, she heard another loud noise coming from the sea. A wall of water slapped her against a distant stone wall.
"Do you really hold grudges like this?"
Zhou Ji stood in the air, took off his covered fingers, looked at the calm sea surface with a strange expression, looked down at the people who were washed away by the huge waves, deliberately avoided them, and walked along the sea surface to drip blood. Go in the direction of the hole.
Without the crooked old tree rooted in the stone wall, Zhou Ji stood on top of the ruins, with huge boulders piled up under his feet, and the surrounding cliffs were broken and collapsed, which had already blocked the entrance of the cave in front of him. It is possible to open up a passage to return to the dripping blood hole, but Zhou Ji does not intend to do so.
At least not yet.
