Chapter 362 Ask
Seven days later, entrusted by Daoxuan Daoxuan, Master Puhong, Yun Yilan and other righteous leaders, a group of righteous disciples set out from Qingyun Mountain and arrived in the southwest.Because the matter is so important, the three major sects have sent their most capable disciples, as if by coincidence, these people have already known each other for a long time.

Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu, and Lu Xueqi from Qingyunmen, Faxiang and Fashan from Tianyin Temple, Li Xun and Yanhong from Fenxiang Valley, a group of seven people, after setting off from Qingyun Mountain, they were cautious all the way, walking day and night, trying their best to Avoid conflicts with the beast monsters on the road, and rush to the southwest at full speed, hoping to find out why a large number of beast monsters suddenly gathered here.

When these Righteous Path disciples first set out on the road, although they knew that the trip was extremely dangerous, but for the sake of the common people in the world, none of them had the intention of shrinking back.But after the seventh day after their trip, everyone had turned pale and remained silent all day and night, including Xiao Yicai who was the most eloquent, Dharma Xiang behind Ding Li, and even the person who had been trying to get along with him along the way. Li Xun, who was talking to Lu Xueqi, fell silent.

On a journey of thousands of miles, the further south one goes, the more dire the situation becomes.Either the entire village or the entire city is littered with corpses and bones, or one after another the villages and cities are desolate, and the fertile fields are turned into scorched earth.No one knows why these beast monsters still set fire to them, why they devour blood so cruelly, just like no one knows when this catastrophe will end?
The ghostly chimes seemed to echo forever in the wilderness of the southern land, telling the sad and desolate past.

After entering the southwest region, the group became more cautious, but they were facing a huge trouble at the moment. First, they couldn't find the local residents at all. All the common people either fled to the north before the beast monster came, or died tragically. In the midst of this catastrophe, these righteous disciples had no way to ask the locals about the movements of these beast monsters.On the other hand, most of those beast monsters could not understand the human language. Even though they took the risk to catch a few beast monsters, most of the questions they asked were roaring and struggling. How could they ask anything?
In desperation, after discussing with the group, the group finally had no choice but to follow Xiao Yicai's suggestion and take the risk to follow the monsters secretly. Wherever there are more monsters gathered, they will go there to see what these monsters are going to do.In this way, they tracked them in the southwest for three days and three nights, during which time they were almost spotted by some beast monsters with keen senses, senses of smell and hearing. Fortunately, Xiao Yicai, Faxiang, Lin Jingyu and others were all extremely intelligent people, and they were there every time. At the critical moment of life and death, he escaped without any risk.But even so, they still had little to gain.

Just when they were getting discouraged, by accident, they found a demon disciple who had gone mad in a forest where the beast monster passed by. Knowing that the beast monsters entered the Southwest on a large scale this time, it turned out to be a big battle with the Demon Cult, and the result of the battle was that the beast monsters won a complete victory. The whole army was wiped out in this war.

This news immediately stunned everyone.

Looking at this poor man who huddled into a ball, constantly chanting "monster, monster", and the lunatic who suddenly trembled and screamed from time to time, a heavy shadow was cast over the hearts of the seven righteous people.

Xiao Yicai coughed, looked at Faxiang, and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang, we have a general understanding of the current situation, what do you think should be done?"

Faxiang frowned, glanced at the poor man on the ground, sighed, and said, "Amitabha, sin, sin." After a pause, Faxiang said slowly, "Everyone, in fact, our trip Now that the purpose is roughly known, the little monk thought that it would be better for us to go back to the mountain first and report the current situation to the teachers."

"No!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the side, and everyone was stunned. The person who spoke was actually the most taciturn Lu Xueqi along the way.Faxiang was a little surprised, and said: "Junior Sister Lu, do you have any other opinions, please tell me."

Lu Xueqi's face was cold, but her voice was extremely calm, and she said calmly: "Everything we know now is from this Demon Cult disciple who has gone crazy with fright, and when he spoke just now, he was talking upside down, turning things over and over again, a lot The place is our own guess. If we only think that we have completed the tasks assigned by the teachers, I think it is inappropriate."

Faxiang fell silent, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, Faxiang nodded and said, "That's right, what Junior Sister Lu said is indeed reasonable. The little monk was too impatient just now."

Xiao Yicai pondered for a moment, and said: "Junior Sister Lu has some truths, but we have been investigating in the southwest region day and night, but we have no clue at all. Are we going to continue to investigate like this in the future?"

The corner of Lu Xueqi's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. Obviously, she couldn't think of any good solution to the current dilemma.But at this moment, Li Xun, who had been looking at Lu Xueqi from time to time, suddenly took a step forward and said, "I have a way, maybe there is some hope."

Everyone was taken aback, even Lu Xueqi looked at Li Xun a few more times, and Fa Xiang said happily: "Really, Senior Brother Li, please tell me."

Li Xun took a deep breath, trying not to look into Lu Xueqi's eyes, and said, "I just listened carefully to what this lunatic said, and I heard that he mentioned a place called 'Poisonous Snake Valley' several times. I don't know if you paid attention. ?”

Xiao Yicai nodded, and said: "That's right, I've noticed it too. I've heard about the Poisonous Snake Valley before. It's said that it's a valley deep in the mountains in the southwest, where countless poisonous snakes gather, and there is a highly poisonous miasma in the forest. No one has ever dared to enter this forest. After a long time, no one knows the exact location of this valley."

Lin Jingyu suddenly asked: "Could it be that senior brother Li thinks that the battle between the beast monster and the Demon Cult took place in the legendary Poisonous Snake Valley?"

Li Xun nodded, and said decisively: "That's right. From my inference, the decisive battle took place in the Poisonous Snake Valley. What's more, I thought that the Poisonous Snake Valley might be the head hall of one of the three major sects of the Demon Cult. As long as If we can find it, we will naturally be able to find out whether this lunatic is telling the truth or not?"

Yan Hong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said at this moment: "But senior brother, many days have passed, let's not talk about whether we can find that poisonous snake valley right now, even if we find it, the scene there may not be able to maintain its original appearance..."

Li Xun said coldly: "Junior Sister, have you forgotten that those cruel beast monsters will indeed set fire to eat people, but after setting fire, there will be ruins. Beast monsters can eat people, but they don't eat bones either!"

Everyone's complexion changed, and Yan Hong's face turned pale after hearing this, and she suddenly felt nauseous and vomiting. Obviously, all the tragedies they saw along the way made this woman gradually reach her psychological limit.

Li Xun sighed and stopped talking. Faxiang and Fashan recited the Buddha's name in a low voice at the same time, Xiao Yicai shook his head, walked over to Yanhong's side, comforted her in a low voice, and turned around when Yanhong's expression gradually calmed down. Slowly walked to the side of the Demon Cult disciple who was still shivering slightly on the ground, and squatted down.

"Do you know where the Poisonous Snake Valley is?" Xiao Yicai tried his best to make his voice softer, sounding kind, but the Demon Sect disciple shook his body, but buried his head lower, and said nothing .Xiao Yicai asked three times in succession, but the Demon Sect disciple seemed to be deaf and didn't respond at all.

Xiao Yicai stood up slowly, looked at the crowd, but no one spoke.Xiao Yicai sighed and said, "What should I do?"

Standing aside, Li Xun frowned, and suddenly strode up to the demon disciple, picked him up, and asked loudly, "Where are those monsters killing people?"

The Demon Sect disciple's body was shaken, an expression of extreme fear appeared on his face in an instant, he opened his mouth wide, and a moment later he let out a sharp scream, but Li Xun held on tightly like a heart of stone, and shouted: "Where are those places where monsters kill and eat people?"

"what!"

Deep in fear, the Demon Cult disciple trembled all over his body, his teeth were chattering, his eyes were full of fear, but his head turned to the north involuntarily.Li Xun focused his eyes and said anxiously, "It's in the north, isn't it?"

The demon disciple suddenly tilted his head, and his whole body went limp. Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that his pupils were dilated, and when he probed his nose, he was no longer breathing, and he was actually dead.

Li Xun slowly put down the body of this person, stood up, and faced the north, everyone followed his gaze, the forest in the distance, although it was a clear day, seemed to have a blood-colored cloud covering it.
