Episode 291: Dead End
The Viper Snake Valley, the place where the Demon Sect gathers, the huge valley, the endless forest, Xiao Lan and Jin Ping'er walked in the Viper Snake Valley, but there was only a silence around him. Not to mention seeing animals, they didn't even hear the usual bird songs. The places around the valley seemed to have turned into a dead ghost.
The fishy smell of beasts and monsters in the air was as strong as the fishy smell, but as the two of them went deeper, their brows became tighter and tighter. At this moment, with another breath blowing from the wind in the valley, the terrible smell that almost made people vomit when they smelled was getting stronger and stronger.
The mountain road was winding and winding. The two of them were concentrating on guarding the surroundings and slowly moving forward. There was a corner in front of them, and there was a valley. When they walked here, the smell in the air was so disgusting that it was unbearable. Suddenly, Jin Ping'er, who was walking behind, rushed to the side of the road and vomited desperately.
Xiao Lan did not laugh at him, even he felt it was a little unbearable. Although the valley had not yet revealed its true face, it seemed to be more terrifying than most places in the world. Jin Ping'er stopped gasping for a while, pale face, walked back to Xiao Lan's side, lost his original charm for the first time, and actually whispered: "I'm sorry, I, I am really..."
Xiao Lan smiled indifferently and said, "You are already doing very well. No one can stand this smell. You don't have to care. If you can't do it, why don't you go outside the valley and wait for me first."
Jin Ping'er hesitated for a moment, but shook her head and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Lan nodded, with a look of comfort in his eyes, and whispered: "Be careful, don't hold on."
Jin Ping'er nodded and agreed, Xiao Lan said, "Okay, let's continue to go. I don't know what monsters are dangerous ahead. You must be careful."
The two walked forward again, and Xiao Lan was still walking in front of him, as he was getting closer and closer to the corner of the valley. The air was so foul that it was hard to breathe, which made him frown. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward, bypassed the corner of the valley, and saw the scene in the valley.
His whole body became stiff in an instant.
Jin Ping'er, behind him, immediately noticed Xiao Lan's abnormality, and couldn't help but become nervous. He hurriedly followed him through the corner of the valley and saw the scene in the poisonous snake valley.
Then, she was stunned.
That is the legendary tragic Shura Hell. Such a terrifying scene suddenly appeared under the clear blue sky and sun. Countless corpses fell inside and outside the house in the Viper Snake Valley. There were people, and there were various beasts and monsters. Some were complete, but more were broken limbs and arms, and the bones were so fragmented that they could not be recognized. They were densely packed with the ground, and there were almost no gaps.
As the two walked inside, the terrible scene was everywhere. And the deeper the valley, the more tragic the scene became. The battle here could be seen with great tragicity. The corpses of countless people and the corpses of monsters and monsters were entangled, and the land under their feet had completely turned into dark black, which was a color stained with blood.
When we walked into the house, inside and outside the room, at the entrance of the important passage, we could see the tragic and fierce battle marks. In some places, even the corpses were piled up high. Obviously, in order to compete for this small entrance, the two sides fought to the death. They stepped on the bodies of their comrades and fought endlessly.
In the courtyard, everyone began to see several huge monster corpses. Some were even taller than the entire palace room, but at this moment, the once ferocious and arrogant monsters were just lying quietly in this hell-like place on earth, waiting to rot.
The stench of corpse in the air has reached a terrifying level, but Jin Ping'er has been a little better than before. Because of the tragic situation in front of her, she has become a little less indifferent to these stenches, but her face is as ugly as the four of them.
The two continued to walk deep into the house, and more corpses appeared in front of them. No one knew how many disciples of the Demon Sect and beast monsters died in this valley. They almost subconsciously walked in, walked, and walked. After crossing countless seas of corpses and blood, they came to a mourning hall.
The reason why they could still see it was a mourning hall was because they saw a coffin in this room, and the inside and outside of the room seemed to be the place where the most intense battles were fought. It was not too much to describe it as a pile of corpses. It was here that the two found many familiar corpses in the Demon Sect: Bai Poison Zi, the Vampire Old Demon, and the Duanmu Ancestor...
These evil demon sects who were once powerful and called for the wind and rain were now lying in this place with their eyes open, and many of them still looked fearful on their faces.
No one can imagine it, but no one wants to imagine what kind of scene they would be before they die!
Immediately, the two of them discovered more famous figures of the Demon Sect here, including the three disciples of the Poison God and many important figures in the Hehuan Sect. However, although many disciples wearing the costumes of the Ghost King Sect died, few of the famous corpses were found.
"It seems that the battle between the Beast God and your Demon Sect is very fierce. Many people died here. All the important figures of your Demon Sect are here. It seems that all the Wanpo Sect is dead." Xiao Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath. It seems that this Beast God is much more terrifying than he imagined!
He talked to himself, but Jin Ping'er was shocked and almost fainted. He said in a lost voice: "Madam, Madam is here, and she has not escaped this disaster..." After saying that, she knelt on the ground "thump".
Of course, Xiao Lan would not care about Mrs. San Miao, but the legendary boss of the Hehuan Sect had to take a look. He saw a middle-aged lady wearing big red clothes lying in a secluded place outside the mourning hall. If she hadn't been for her sad and sad death, she could still find that his charming charm was not much worse than that of Jin Ping'er. Even the number one figure in the Hehuan Sect was not spared. The methods of the Beast God can be imagined.
Xiao Lan sighed, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Jin Ping'er's face was bleak, his face was pale and bloodless. Even his body shook a few times.
After a long time, she slowly looked up and looked up at the sky. The vast blue sky, even the clouds above the valley looked blood-red.
Jin Ping'er's lips moved, as if she wanted to shout something, but in the end, no sound was made!
"Let's go, leave here." After watching this scene quietly for a long time, Xiao Lan seemed to see the other side of Jin Ping'er, and also seemed to have realized something. After a moment of daze, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Way of Immortality, Buddha, Demon, Demon, God, Human, Ghost, Asura, Worldly Path, Leading to the Eternal Side, Always full of hardships, and very few can reach it!"
There are always two choices when you step on the road of cultivation. If you cannot continue to move forward, you will have to sink and die, just like the corpses on the ground in front of you, turning into dust as the years pass.
"I won't leave!" After hearing Xiao Lan's words, Jin Ping'er replied with a little stubbornness: "My roots are here, my master, senior sister, and junior sister are all here. I want to bury them. You go, you have nothing to do with our Demon Sect. Everything here is naturally nothing to do with you."
"Oh" sighed, and Xiao Lan turned around and left. Everyone has their own way. No matter what choice they make, since Jin Ping'er has made his own choice, Xiao Lan will naturally not interfere with her decision, and leaving is the choice made by Xiao Lan.
His roots are not here, without a beginning, and without an end. Here, it is just a trivial stop in his journey in life, and he still has a long way to go. He needs to go step by step.
Witnessing the fierce battle between the demon beast army and the three major demon sects, the Ghost King Sect suffered heavy losses. The Wandu Sect and the Hehuan Sect were almost wiped out. Xiao Lan continued to track the traces of the demon beasts, following the traces left by the demon beast army, and headed towards Mount Sumeru where Tianyin Temple was located.
However, he never expected that Tianyin Temple, known as one of the three righteous sects in the world, would flee without fighting. There was only one empty mountain left on Mount Sumeru, and the army of beast gods passed by without any obstacles. This made the divine beast very boring. If he hadn't been worried that his strength had not yet been strengthened to the peak state, he would have killed Qingyun Sect immediately!
Looking at the messy Mount Sumeru swept by the army of beast monsters, Xiao Lan never expected that this would be the case. The only thing that is to be happy is that he obtained the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book on the jade wall without words.
In five volumes of heavenly books, Zhang Xiaofan and the Ghost King occupy the second one, and the last volume is in the Ancient Cave of the Fantasy Moon in Qingyunmen, which is recorded on the Zhuxian Sword. Since the three and four volumes have been successful, Xiao Lan agreed to go straight to Qingyun Mountain.
The catastrophe is approaching. At this moment, it has been raining heavily on Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain for a night. People in the righteous path, led by the three major sects of Zhengdao, are gathering in the Yuqing Hall to discuss, and the controversy sounds from time to time. The three masters in the top position, Qingyun Sect Dao Xuanzhen Ren, Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple and Yun Yilan of Fenxiang Gu, were also discussing something in a low voice. The three of them were frowning, obviously having a lot of worries, and were worried about the beast demon catastrophe in front of them.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps outside the Yuqing Hall came, and everyone was stunned. Xiao Yicai, a disciple of the Longmen under Qingyun Sect, quickly walked into the Yuqing Hall, paused for a moment, nodded to all the righteous people around him, and then quickly walked straight towards Daoxuan Zhenren, whispering in his ear.
Everyone stared at the two of them, and they all saw that Xiao Yicai's face was very serious, and as he said, there was no smile on his already serious face, and the rest was solemn. Gradually, everyone's hearts also raised, and they vaguely felt that the inexplicable pressure seemed to gradually descend to this place.
After hearing Xiao Yicai's words, Daoxuan looked at him and asked again in a low voice. Xiao Yicai nodded silently, with a certain expression. Daoxuan gave a long sigh and nodded. Xiao Yicai turned around silently and stood behind Daoxuan.
Master Puhong and Yun Yilan next to him also looked over at this moment. Master Puhong chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, Master Daoxuan, is there any news about the beast monster?"
Zhenren Daoxuan nodded and stood up. The crowd was shaking in the right way below the field.
Zhenren Daoxuan calmed down, and his expression gradually appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, I just received the news that a large group of beast monsters had appeared in the wilderness two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain. It will come soon, and outside Heyang City at the foot of the mountain, traces of beast monsters have begun to be discovered sporadically."
As soon as these words were said, they immediately caused everyone to be upset. For a moment, panic, fear, anger, sigh and other expressions appeared on everyone's face. The catastrophe that had been pressing on everyone's heart for many days finally came to the front.
Master Daoxuan looked at the expressions of everyone, pressed his hands, and the noise of everyone slowly lowered. When the surroundings became quiet, Master Daoxuan said loudly: "Everyone, now the great disaster is right in front of you. The number of lives in the world depends on us fighting with these monsters. All of you here are the masters who have the right path to make the people of the world. In the future, you and I should do your best. As the saying goes, the heart of heaven is free, and it is believed that there will be no way out for the world. Although these monsters are temporarily rampant, they will definitely not last long."
In the crowd, there were silent for a while, and some people said, "What the real person said is."
"Don't worry, with so many masters here, we will definitely beat that beast monster together!"
“That’s right, it’s right”
It seemed to be inspired for a moment, and everyone's expressions gradually began to relax and happy. After all, no matter what, there are three major sects and these masters here. To go further, there is the legendary invincible and invincible Zhuxian Sword Formation on this Qingyun Mountain. Looking at the confident expression of Daoxuan Zhenren, what are you worried about?
Under the gaze of countless righteous people, Daoxuan Zhenren smiled slowly, said a few words to everyone, and walked back to the inner hall of Yuqing Hall with Master Puhong, Yun Yilan, Xiao Yicai and others.
Once they avoided everyone's sight, Daoxuan Zhenren's face immediately became heavy, and Master Puhong and Yun Yilan's faces were not relaxed either. Everyone walked into the secluded room in the inner hall, and Xiao Yi followed the end and closed the door.
Zhenren Daoxuan turned to Xiao Yicai and said, "Yicai, please tell me the details."
Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes. The disciple inspected Heyang City at the foot of the mountain and received rewards in one day. Especially at the head of Heyang City, the disciple saw a huge bird demon appear with his own eyes. Looking at his appearance, it is very similar to the "Shura Bird" among the beast monsters that are rumored to be among the thirteen demon kings these days."
Zhenren Daoxuan looked at each other two masters, and his face was heavy. Xiao Yicai said solemnly: "In addition, the other junior brothers who were secretly exploring the surrounding area all reported that they all found traces of scattered beast monsters, especially the most densely located 200 miles southwest. However, the disciples waited for a long time, but there was no news about them."
When Xiao Yicai said this, his face gradually became dark. Master Daoxuan had a calm face, while Yun Yilan next to him sighed, and Master Puhong chanted Buddha's name in a low voice.
Daoxuan Zhenren pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Xiao Yicai: "It seems that it is not wrong. The beast monster is indeed here, Yicai." He looked at his beloved disciple and said: "You go down the mountain and notify the disciples distributed in various places to retreat, and the range is about a hundred miles around Qingyun Mountain. Remember to remind them not to cross the boundary without authorization, nor to engage in action with the beast monster, so as not to avoid accidents."
Xiao Yicai nodded, as if he remembered something again, and said, "Master, what should the people in Heyang City do?"
Master Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Master Puhong and Yun Yilan. Master Puhong clasped his head and lowered his head. Yun Yilan said lightly: "At this point, everything is led by Master Puzhong. Please make a decision."
Daoxuan Zhenren said with a slight expression of gratitude, then pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Yicai: "This matter is indeed difficult, but Heyang City is too dangerous, and we are really unable to go down the mountain to guard the people. You immediately go down the mountain to Heyang City and lead all the Qingyun disciples in Heyang City to tell the people in Heyang City to go north as soon as possible, at least cross the Qingyun Mountains. The biggest goal of those beast monsters at this moment is the right path on our Qingyun Mountain, not those people, which may be temporarily safe."
Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment, but looking at the expressionless face of Daoxuan Zhenren, he still nodded silently and whispered: "Yes, that disciple is going now."
Zhenren Daoxuan said: "There is another matter. You should notify the heads of the other six meridians of Qingyun as soon as possible and come to Tongtian Peak immediately. I want to see them immediately and discuss something if you have something to do" (To be continued.)
