Chapter 156 There may not be a road in front of the mountain
Qihai Mountain is the largest barren mountain in the Central Plains.
When a group of five people arrived at the mountain, it was almost evening. The setting sun stretched the shadow of the mountain to an extremely long length, like a phoenix spreading its wings but being imprisoned. And the particularly conspicuous lotus flower bloomed extremely coquettishly.
Wang Shuai gently sniffed the wings of his nose, and there was a slight smell of corruption in the air. He spoke: "Qihai Mountain has been uninhabited for hundreds of years. There was once a rumor that there was a hunter who made a living by hunting at the foot of the mountain, which lasted less than half a year.
, as if he was infected with madness, he killed his wife and children, and then often knelt at the foot of Qihai Mountain. He fasted for seven days and died facing the north. When he was found, his eyes were red, the meridians all over his body were severed, and his legs and feet were twisted.
into an extremely terrifying posture."
Xu Moshang, who was determined to follow her, had a little fear in his eyes, and subconsciously leaned closer to Xu Qingmu, seeming a little scared.
Wang Shuai continued: "Later, a powerful person Shi Jiuzhuan returned to Soul Town and Thirty-Six Suppressing Candlelight, and forcibly retrieved half of the hunter's soul. He wanted to find out, but it was just the recalled soul.
It also seemed to have been cannibalized, it was torn into pieces, and its mind was no longer clear. In the end, the matter was left unsolved."
Bai Qi spoke up: "Could it be caused by evil spirits? In the past, there were undead souls in the Qinglian space who suffered great humiliation and died. Their bodies were destroyed but their bodies remained. They were eventually eaten away by resentment and formed evil spirits, which are extremely difficult to get rid of.
, it was our king who took action to kill him." Xu Qingmu nodded: "My master once said that all things are mutually reinforcing, yin and yang are harmonious, and the form, spirit, and harp are harmonious. If the balance is destroyed, resentment will arise from the heart.
If it persists for a long time and does not disperse, the world calls it a spiritual evil."
Xu Moshang became even more frightened. Wang Shuai looked around and said: "We must find a place to stay now." Wang Shuai suddenly turned to Xu Qingmu and said pitifully: "Do you still have the talisman to suppress evil spirits? I'm so scared.
Afraid." Xu Qingmu didn't even look at the pretentious Wang Shuai, but looked at the charming lotus: "Don't you think it's strange, why does the lotus that should grow in the water grow on the barren mountain?"
Lotus loves water, and this season is not the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom. Such a strange lotus flower is indeed contrary to common sense.
Qishang became interested: "Boss, could it be a rare treasure that grows here?" Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed with light, especially Wang Shuai, who showed greed and kept rubbing his hands.
"Would you like me to come forward and investigate?" Xu Qingmu shook his head gently, and then took a step forward: "Weak water domain: ice spear." Behind the elegant young man in the green gown, a stick about two feet long quickly condensed.
The ten-foot-long ice spear, under the reflection of the setting sun, is translucent with ice blue and stained with the red glow of the afterglow, making it look a bit eerie.
"Just take a look -"
At Xu Qingmu's signal, the huge blue and red ice spear shot away. It seemed that there was a dragon roar, and its power was much more powerful than in the Qinglian space.
But when the ice spear was about to approach the lotus, something strange happened. A pair of blood-red and broken withered hands, with some rotten flesh stuck to them, quickly emerged from the ground, grabbed the huge ice spear, and then suddenly exerted force.
It suddenly exploded into ice. When the crisis was over, the withered hand slowly retracted into the ground, and nothing strange was seen in front of the lotus.
Wang Shuai and others opened their eyes wide, and seemed to be a little scared. Like Xu Moshang, they moved closer behind Xu Qingmu. The momentum of wanting to seize the treasure just now was gone.
"I feel some weird soul aura fluctuations, entrenched around the lotus, and every breath is not weak."
Xu Qingmu frowned a little: "But those mysterious pulls are pointing to this lotus. Now that I think about it carefully, this lotus is probably the entrance to the airspace."
Wang Shuai poked his head out from behind Xu Qingmu and stared at the strange lotus. Thinking of the red withered hand before, he felt a lingering fear in his heart: "I see that the palm of the withered hand has five fingers, but it is much larger than a human being.
Wouldn’t his entire body be buried underground?”
If it is true, judging from the size of the withered hand, the entire true body is at least fifty feet!
Qishang, who has now transformed into a ferocious beast, is only about thirty feet tall. And Bai Qi, who has transformed into a snake body, has just reached fifty feet.
How terrifying this giant's body must be!
Xu Qingmu looked at the sun that had set in the west, took out a few blood-red talismans in his hands, and threw them in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and then shouted softly: "Broken Flag Formation, rise!"
Then a huge and transparent light curtain rose from around a few people, surrounding them: "This is a talisman used to suppress evil spirits. Wang Shuai, please take out the tent nearby, and we will watch its changes tonight."
, let’s check it out again.”
Then he said to Qishang and Bai Qi: "You two go to the nearby area to check if there are any ferocious beasts. Don't go too far."
The two took out a torch and went to check around. Xu Mo saw the four broken banners with talismans rising, and he obviously gained some confidence. He ran out from behind Xu Qingmu, and together with Wang Shuai, he packed up the bonfire.
tent.
After a while, the smell of rice wafted from a few people's places not far from the lotus.
But just when Xu Qingmu wanted to enter the Baijing Secret Cave to practice, he was horrified to find that no matter how he activated the space, there was no response at all. Not only that, scarlet gas gradually began to float out of the surrounding mountains, as if there was a thick
It was like a fog, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, Xu Qingmu's broken flag array had some effect. The scarlet gas could not enter the array, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Xu Qingmu told everyone about the secret cave of Bai Jing, and they all frowned: the secret cave cannot be entered, which means that the danger has increased.
The surrounding environment became strange again.
When the moon rose, countless pairs of red eyes suddenly lit up on the top of Qihai Mountain, making everyone who was already wrapped in scarlet gas even more frightened. Xu Moshang huddled behind Xu Qingmu again, so scared that he even shook his head
Don't dare to find out.
While eating barbecue, he raised his head and looked at Wang Shuai at the top of the mountain, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "So many?"
Xu Qingmu thought of Li Chengru's good health.
In the past, when this old man was around, I would always feel an inexplicable peace of mind. It was not only because of Li Chengru's cultivation in the Thirteenth Realm, but also because of his rich knowledge. Li Chengru could solve most of these strange things that he didn't understand just by asking.
.But now, I have to observe the situation on the top of the mountain alone, cautiously and even more cautiously.
But the changes haven't stopped yet.
The soil around the lotus rustled. After a while, as Wang Shuai had guessed, a huge humanoid creature about fifty feet tall broke out of the ground. The entire sea and mountain trembled. Accompanied by the rumbling impact of the skeleton.
The sound was like hell. After a while, several people could clearly see the human-shaped creature. The whole body was covered with rotten flesh and broken, and an extremely thick smell of corruption came from it. I thought that the smell of corruption smelled by Baitian Wangshuai in the air
, which is where it comes from.
In front of the giant's heart, there is a huge hole, as if something has penetrated the body. What's even more amazing is that the top of the head of this giant creature is not a human being, but a huge bird head. Other than that, everything is the same as that of ordinary people.
At the same time. When this huge rotten body with a bird head and a human body crawled out of the ground, the monster suddenly looked up to the sky and howled, making a thunderous roar from its mouth, as if it was full of resentment. Then, the scarlet gas seemed to be absorbed, and quickly moved towards it.
The monster's body was surging wildly. For a moment, the surrounding area became clearer.
This is not over yet.
The lotus rose up from the ground in an instant. After it fully appeared, everyone exclaimed, "Where is this lotus? It's just a bait growing on the monster!"
I saw the dog-like creature with a lotus on its head, which was twenty feet tall. Standing next to the bird-headed monster, it kept rubbing its head on its thigh, looking extremely docile.
But suddenly, the dog-like monster seemed to smell something and kept sniffing on the ground. Xu Qingmu and others became nervous instantly. This broken flag formation can indeed isolate some evil spirits and achieve a hidden effect, but after all, human breath
Don't hide it. If it is discovered, it will inevitably be in danger.
Just when the monster's nose was about to touch the magic circle, the giant humanoid monster spoke:
"Human, I am the dragon bird, one of the gatekeepers of the airspace. When you step into Qihai Mountain, why are you here for this airspace?" The voice was like thunder, but mixed with the high-pitched voices of birds and animals, which seemed extremely awkward.
.
However, Xu Qingmu still moved forward, blocking everyone behind him, and took the initiative to pull the broken flag array. Now that the humanoid monster had obviously discovered them, it would be unnecessary to hide them again. At that moment, the young man in green shirt raised his hand.
He said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "I was summoned just to enter that airspace! Please give me advice, senior!"
After collecting the broken flag formation, the remaining scarlet gas in the air instantly enveloped everyone. Xu Qingmu was even more surprised. These red gases were actually as familiar and friendly as dragon gas.
But the people behind him seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, standing motionless with their eyes blank.
Just when Xu Qingmu was a little worried, a loud voice came again: "It's okay for them. Those without dragon energy are not qualified to listen. Since you have been guided, you are naturally qualified to go to the boundary space, but you still need to pass the three tests. Human beings, go back now
It's still too late, but once you accept the test, unless you pass it, your body will die, your soul will be torn apart by my evil dogs, and you will never be reincarnated."
He spoke again: "Are you ready?"
Xu Qingmu clasped his fists forward and said, "I've made up my mind, senior, please make it happen!"
The huge body stood up a little straighter, and countless rotten flesh fell down, looking extremely terrifying: "Okay, since you insist on this, let the test begin!"
I saw the rotten flesh that fell on the ground quickly sinking into the ground and disappearing, and the huge body slowly sank to the ground. The scarlet gas that was originally sucked into the body also burst out again, making the surrounding visibility blurry again, until
The monster that called itself Dragon Bird disappeared, and together with the evil dog, it changed into the shape of a lotus flower again.
A group of people came to their senses and looked at Xu Qingmu in front of them in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened? I seem to have had a dream!"
Except for Xu Moshang, everyone looked confused.
Xu Qingmu looked at everyone with a bit of contentment in his eyes, but he still smiled and said: "It's not a dream, but -"
Turning his head and looking at the countless red eyes that lit up on the mountain, he stepped out, and the Weak Water Domain was instantly released. The Chouli Sword also flew into his hand, and the blade of the sword jingled softly and cheerfully, as if it was impatient to do so.
