Chapter four hundred and twentieth eighth
Zhiliao Zhiliao... Zhiliao Zhiliao...
Qin Yun and Ji Xian'er's tense nerves loosened a lot of amid the cicadas' squeals, and finally got a little angry in the land of the Dead.
The withered yellow and dark green coffin leaves were mixed together, paving a strange road in the locust tree forest. The two walked along the road to the depths of the forest. They didn't know how long they had walked, but they couldn't see the moon and stars in the sky. They didn't know how deep they had walked. Looking forward, there was a forest, and looking back, there was a forest. The forests were penetrated by yellow and dark green shrubs. They only knew where to come from and not where to go.
Ji Xian'er raised her head and carefully searched for the cicadas on the locust tree. Unfortunately, she did not find them and didn't know where to hide.
Behind the two, a black shadow was always falling from afar. Ji Xian'er did not notice it, and Qin Yun did not notice it. It was because they were not careful and could not see anything when they turned around. It was night, and the forest was pitch black and difficult to identify.
"Why don't you come in during the day and wait until night? Is there anything here to pay attention to?"
Ji Xian'er always felt like she was staring at her, and her back was chilly. Isn't that the same thing about Qin Yun? The linen clothes that were originally on her back were taken off, and the bronze ancient sword, the sword was tightly held in her hand, and the anti-holding ancient sword could help her better defense.
The hard work of the rain outside was the rain, but this forest seemed to be in their hands. In the forest, there was not even a drop of rain, and it was very dry.
"Don't talk!" Qin Yun said in a low voice in front of Ji Xian'er's ear. He opened his ears and carefully listened to the sounds around him.
Qin Yun held the bronze ancient sword in his left hand and Ji Xian'er's hand in his right hand. A few words were quietly written in her palm. Ji Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, calmed down and carefully remembered the words written by Qin Yun: "Bad things... be careful..."
Only a few words made Ji Xian'er feel chill all over. She held Qin Yun's hand tighter and sweat broke out in her palms.
The withered vegetation has reached the end, and a little dim light appears in the distance. Through the layers of strange old locust trees, we travel through. The sound of cicadas is getting closer and closer. Qin Yun and Ji Xian'er may not have noticed that there are not even birds and beasts in this locust tree forest. The cicadas and light should have looked strange.
The ominous thing behind him seemed to be afraid of Qin Yun's strength and dared not take action easily. Seeing that Qin Yun and Ji Xian'er were about to cross the bush, a fierce light finally appeared in the jade-colored eyes behind him. Under his eyes, the light was too dark, but two rows of white sharp teeth could be vaguely seen.
After brushing, the object finally couldn't help but move. The ancient forest. The ground was covered with roots and covered with grass and trees. A series of sounds came from the forest, and the sound approached Qin Yun at an extremely fast speed.
"Behind me, you are not allowed to leave my three steps away!" Qin Yun blocked Ji Xian'er behind him, and the sword sword changed from the left hand to the back hand.
The copper verdant on the sword light's body could not emit any light in the dim forest, and its existence could be noticed by the naked eye.
Qin Yun blinked, and the green eyes suddenly turned back and forth in front of his eyes. The pupils in his eyes were like black vortexes, which could swallow the human mind. Qin Yun was stunned. He had no time to think, and he could already feel the storm of cutting people on his forehead.
The golden blood qi burst out, illuminating the dark forest around it, and the black old locust tree looked even more weird and terrifying in the golden light.
Crane, Qin Yun's sword came first. The sword with a copper-green sword slashed past his forehead and collided with the claws of the ominous object. It made a harsh and unpleasant sound of gold and stone.
Roar, in front of him, the ominous thing finally appeared under Qin Yun's blood and golden light. When Ji Xian'er saw the ominous thing from behind, she exclaimed and covered her mouth, but the screams still echoed in the forest and could not dissipate for a long time.
The ominous object had a human face, but his eyes were green and his nose was very flat. The teeth in his mouth had turned into two fierce teeth, and the corners of his mouth were also sticky. According to Ji Xian'er's judgment, it might be its saliva.
"It's Taotie, but it's not completely evolved. Otherwise, we have no way to survive. The four ancient beasts are all true immortals."
Qin Yun recognized the origin of the ominous object at a glance. Three of the four ancient beasts are unique. Only the Taotie beast was not raised by their parents, but was constantly transformed by monks who swallowed humans for whatever reason.
Previously, Qin Yun warned Ji Xian'er not to eat human flesh. That night, he met Taotie, who had not evolved completely. The karma was so refreshing that Qin Yun felt extremely depressed. Others stood there, but the sword in his hand did not stop. With the aura of the treasure, a sword was almost at its peak. After brushing, a few lights flashed, and the black air on the sword was lingering, splitting Taotie's body like silk threads.
A puff sound came from Qin Yun's ears. The unevolved Taotie was cut off by him in half. The sticky transparent blood came out on the limbs at the upper and lower ends. These should be the blood.
"After all, it's something shameful. If you lose your unknown skin, you will no longer be as frightening as before."
Qin Yun looked at both bodies lying on the ground and struggling, and the sword in his hand pierced into the pair of jade-colored eyes without any pity. White blood overflowed, and the most beautiful part of Taotie's body was destroyed by Qin Yun.
Roar... Before his death, Taotie, who was pierced by a bronze sword, let out a roar that he dared not dare. Qin Yun sneered, and the blade of the sword rotated on the only human face. The eyes, nose, mouth, face, and pieces of complete places turned into flesh mud under the rotation of the sword.
Ji Xian'er turned around. Qin Yun's cruel actions made her feel a little uncomfortable. After all, her woman's heart was not as cruel as Qin Yun's men.
Roar... Roar roar... A series of roars sounded around, similar to the roars of the dead Taotie, but also had a sad difference.
"There are so many!" Ji Xian'er's body shivered, and she had no grace of a saint who had transformed into a saint, and her beauty had already lost its color.
"Go away!" Qin Yun's eyebrows squeezed together, and pulled Ji Xian'er back quickly. The withered yellow shrubs were gone. When they went deeper, they were covered with white almost transparent vegetation. These plants only appear where there was no sunshine for many years.
Roar. Qin Yun felt that the entire land of the dead was trembling. The leaves on the old locust tree were shocked by the sound and fell in large areas. The oval yellow leaves fell like rain, pretending to be shining. Unfortunately, Qin Yun and the others were not in the mood to appreciate this unique beauty.
Not long after, pairs of jade-colored eyes appeared in the surrounding forest, and when they appeared, they had white teeth.
The roar was spread far away. Zhuanxuzi and his two junior brothers cut off a big snake with two bodies. Zhuanxuzi's clothes became even more ragged. On the golden-wire jade clothes inside, several pieces of jade turned black. I don't know what this means.
"Damn the fat snake. This kind of thing has long been extinct in the outside world. I didn't expect that the Forbidden Immortal Land will still exist. Fortunately, I was wearing a golden jade dress, otherwise I would have really touched the way of this beast." Zhuanxuzi rubbed the dark place of the jade block. The flesh on his body was sore and he was not poisoned, but he broke a few bones. Suddenly he heard the continuous roars in the distance and laughed.
He didn't care about the soreness on his body, and he patted his tired junior brother beside him and said with a smile: "Did you hear it? I don't know whose unlucky child it is... Haha... I was actually targeted by these beasts!"
Similarly, not far from Zhuanxu's son, Hei Fusheng and two women of the Supreme Ruthless Tao were walking forward. When they heard the roar of Taotie group, they couldn't help but stand there and wanted to say something. But they found that the two women of the Supreme Ruthless Tao ignored his plans at all. They sighed helplessly, shrugged, and set off on the road again, muttering: "Whose unlucky child is from?"
With a thud, Yun Chengzi, who was covered in tatters, fell from the big tree by the roar. Around him, the fog covered the appearance of the old locust tree, but occasionally he could see the locust tree behind the fog through a thinner place, and several human faces were on the trunk.
Yun Chengzi patted his chest with lingering fear and said to himself: Damn, these Taotie tribes are probably the most difficult sneakers on the outside. This pitiful one died before entering the deep forest and was stared at by these cannibal sneakers. It was really unfortunate.
The black night, the black forest. The emerald-colored eyes are very beautiful, but... dozens of pairs of eyes staring around, no matter who is, they will feel creepy. Qin Yun is like this, and Ji Xian'er is even more so. The two of them can only retreat, retreat again and again.
Roar, after all, I couldn't stand the delicious itch. One sneaked, and all sneaked moved.
Ji Xian'er was blocked by him, and these gluttons had the ability to charm and illusion. If they were not careful, they would be torn to pieces and become food by them. Qin Yun knew that if he could not calm down, then the ending between him and Ji Xian'er would be destined.
Close your eyes and Qin Yun tried his best to make his heart empty. Even if such an ethereal state is only for a moment, that would be enough.
When he opened his eyes, he was still black when he closed his eyes. He focused all his energy on his hearing. Only in this way can he not be charmed. The sword was stretched straight out by him, and the murderous aura was revealed on the sword's edge. He could feel that the sword was also preparing to start a killing battle with him.
The air gradually became turbid, one, two, three... Seven figures approached the edge of Qin Yun's sword. Qin Yun suddenly moved. It was the sword moving, and the person did not move. The black light of the sword suddenly came like a storm. It was just a moment, and it left like a storm. It came quickly and went quickly. Time, only a moment.
Pupp... Pupp, the three flying bodies were easily torn apart by Qin Yun's sword, turning into a blood rain and bursting.
Roar, the three Taotie were killed in an instant, and fear began to spread like a plague. The jade-colored eyes that rushed towards Qin Yun suddenly lost their luster and disappeared into the darkness. These Taotie were scared by Qin Yun's methods.
"Hu..." After a long breath, Qin Yun fell to the ground limply, and the golden light on his body dissipated.
Ji Xian'er gently helped him up. At this moment, Qin Yun looked haggard and pale, looking like the blood in his body had been sucked away.
"How are you?" Ji Xian'er was a little worried. He had never seen Qin Yun's Lian Baizhi look like this.
Qin Yun smiled and pretended to be fine, "It was just that he used up all the blood and energy of the treasure body. His body was a little weak and his stomach was very hungry. But we probably didn't have time to eat it. These gluttons would come back at any time and leave soon."
"Okay!" Ji Xian'er nodded, said nothing, and slapped Qin Yun's right hand on her shoulder and straightened her body.
Ji Xian'er took two steps, a little heavy. Her steps were not staggering, "You are not as heavy as you imagined."
Qin Yun was teased by Ji Xian'er and was very unhappy and complained: "Half of his blood was burned away. Do you think it's not easy?"
Ji Xian'er held Qin Yun and staggered step by step, entering the depths of the land of the Dead. In the distance, the ray of light could be seen more clearly.
The locust trees here are very neatly divided into two rows, with a path left in the middle that can accommodate the two of them. There are long grass and trees growing beside them, but the path is bare and there is no grass growing.
Qin Yun felt a little strange, but he couldn't let him think too much, and the roar of the Taotie group behind him sounded again. This group of ancient tribesmen was cursed and tortured to their current appearance since they were first eaten by people. Under the erosion of time, they lost their reason. With their instinctive desire for human flesh, they kept wandering and waiting in the land of the dead!
The roar gradually became heavier, and the air around it became cold. The yin energy on the sneaky beasts was too strong, so people would feel it very much wherever they came. Qin Yun and Ji Xian'er felt very cold.
"I don't have time to hesitate, go!" Behind me, Taotie opened his beautiful eyes and flashed in the darkness. Every time he flashed, he was nearly a hundred feet away from Qin Yun. After several times, these sneakers had reached a hundred feet behind Qin Yun.
There was indeed no time left. Qin Yun and Ji Xian'er stepped into the path without hesitation. Several Taotie in the night flashed again and entered the path. The emerald eyes flashed with strange light, and under the eyes, there was sticky saliva dripping from their sharp teeth, a flash. The body quickly moved behind Qin Yun, and its feet rushed to the mountain when they only touched the ground.
"Get out!" Seeing that several Taotie were about to tear Qin Yun apart, a low shout came from the end of the path, the sound was not loud, but it was very powerful.
He saw fear for the first time in Taotie's eyes. This sound seemed to make them tremble from the bottom of their hearts. With a low shout, he shook off all Taotie. What a terrible existence this was. Qin Yun couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand, and the two of them pressed together.
"Come here!" A voice sounded again at the end, this time it was even more indifferent, but it had an undeniable meaning.
"You dare to ask me, who is it?"
Qin Yun respectfully bowed to the end, trying to find out the other party's identity, but the sword in his hand was tighter.
"Come here, I don't want to say it for the third time." The tough tone made Qin Yun feel a rebellious heart in his heart, pulling Ji Xian'er back quickly. Behind him was the exit of the path, and the two of them were only three steps away from the exit.
"What an interesting boy, do you think you can still get out after entering my Zen Room trail?" The man at the end said Qin Yun's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. Sure enough, when the two turned around, they could not even get the short third step.
Taking one step, instead of moving forward, he took a few steps back. After taking the second step, the two of them became a hundred feet away from the exit. When they took the third step, Qin Yun only felt a dizzy turn and the exit disappeared directly.
A battle of dim lanterns hung on the branch of a twisted old locust tree. Under the lamp, a middle-aged man was carefully studying with a book. The cover of the book was wrapped, and Qin Yun could not see clearly what book he was reading.
"The Tao can be told, the Tao can be told, the name can be called, the name can be called, the name is very famous..." The middle-aged scholar paused, raised his head, and asked, regardless of the confusion in Qin Yun's eyes, "Do you understand?"
Qin Yun thought about the words of the middle-aged scholar in his heart, and then shook his head powerlessly, "I don't understand!"
The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said, "No name is the beginning of heaven and earth; famous is the mother of all things. Do you understand?"
Qin Yun shook his head again, and the middle-aged man seemed very disappointed, and continued, "So there is no desire to see its wonder, there is always desire to see its excitement. Do you understand?"
Qin Yun frowned. He seemed to have a reflection of these words in his mind, but he couldn't remember what it meant. On the other hand, Ji Xian'er looked thoughtful, so he could only smile with a self-deprecating smile and shook his head again.
This person was extremely disappointed with Qin Yun, so he simply stopped being disappointed and continued to recite: "These two are both different names, and they are called mysterious. Mysterious and mysterious, and the door to all wonders. Do you understand?"
Qin Yun still shook his head helplessly, which made the middle-aged scholar extremely unhappy. He said coldly: "You are the fiftieth person who has come here with the sword in millions of years, but you are also the only person who has not understood a single sentence after I read the first passage of Taoism. It's so stupid."
"What the sir said is not that my husband is not out of reach, but that he is wise and stupid. Didn't he say that the sir is worthy of words, but that the sir is not very words?"
Ji Xian'er smiled softly, but she understood most of this sentence, and was coming out to help Qin Yun.
"Dao is very Tao, the little girl has a good understanding. Unfortunately, this sword is not in your hands. You are not qualified to inherit my mantle, but this Taoist scripture can be borrowed to you for a night."
As he said that, he handed the book in his hand to Ji Xian'er. Ji Xian'er respectfully took it, pulled Qin Yun's sleeve, gave him a wink, then sat down at the stone table beside him, and carefully studied the Taoist scriptures in his hand.
The middle-aged scholar looked at Qin Yun and suddenly laughed: "Okay, the little girl will not be able to escape from the Taoist scriptures for a while. You and I are the only one left here. If you can't understand the Taoist scriptures, you are the first one. Then, you can inherit my mantle."
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at the middle-aged scholar in white clothes in front of him with confusion, wondering who he was and how he was in the land of the deceased.
However, the middle-aged scholar did not explain to Qin Yun. He had an extra sword in his hand, which looked like a sword. Qin Yun discovered that the sword sword in his hand had reached the hands of the middle-aged scholar.
The sword in the scholar's hand was very slow, and the tip of the sword was slowly carved on the ground, just like writing, and it was indeed written. Qin Yun looked at the words and couldn't help but read them: "The sound of the dead leaf crowing is insufficient."
