Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

138 - Black Earth
There were no figures on the isolated peak where the battle took place a few days ago, and there were only countless sword marks of different shades on the top of the mountain.

Among the dark black mountains, a clear river meanders through, its source is unknown, and its end is also unknown. It is indeed surprising that a river suddenly appears in such a place.

Qinghe River is located between two mountains, the river water is very clear, you can clearly see the bottom of the river a few feet below, colorful fish are hiding in the crevices of the rocks, motionless, camouflaged, avoiding possible dangers .

On the north bank of Qinghe River, there are eight figures sitting cross-legged, standing looking from a distance, or leaning casually on the boulder.

Originally there were only four people Tang Ge, but after a battle on the top of Gufeng Mountain, it became eight people.

Gu Zhiyue held the Devil May Cry Sword and walked up to Tang Ge who was standing on the riverside with his hands behind his back, his bright eyes were filled with guilt and worry.

"Little uncle."

She screamed softly, holding the Devil May Cry Sword in both hands, lowering her head, not looking at the sword or the cobblestone ground, she was in a daze.

Tang Ge smiled lightly, rubbed her head, and said, "I'll put Devil May Cry with you first, and return it to me when I find a new sword for you."

Gu Zhiyue still lowered her head, a faint sobbing sound could be heard.

Tang Ge hesitated, and said again: "Aren't I fine now? Don't worry."

Gu Zhiyue raised her head and looked at Tang Ge, the appearance of Lihua with rain was so distressing, two lines of tears slid down her white cheeks, and dripped onto the stones by the river.

She said: "If Uncle Shi had a sword in his hand, how could Duan Xiao hurt you so badly?"

Tang Ge was indeed seriously injured, but after a few days of recovery, his breath had stabilized, but there was still a hideous sword wound on his shoulder. Now that he had changed into a new dress, he couldn't see it.

Looking at the crying girl in front of him, the tears in his eyes shimmered, and Tang Ge felt a little at a loss for a moment. He had never encountered such a situation in previous lives.

The two looked at each other quietly, the others didn't seem to notice the situation here, the riverside was a little quiet, only the sound of water flowing, and occasionally the voices of Wen Zhuo and Tantai Li talking.

After a long time, Tang Ge stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Zhiyue's eyes, his movements were very slow and light, with a touch of tenderness.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Be obedient, I'm fine."

Gu Zhiyue's eyes were red, her eyes moved away from Tang Ge's face, and then fell on the Devil May Cry Sword that she had been holding in both hands. After staring at it for a long time, she hummed lightly.

Tang Ge was stunned for a moment, and felt that the sound of um was a bit strange, but it was not so strange, so he patted her head with a light smile.

There was another silence.

Wu Cangyu walked over, and Gu Zhiyue immediately ran to the river not far away holding the Devil Weeping Sword.

He glanced at the water-green figure, noticed something strange, then looked back at Tang Ge and said, "Uncle, are you sure we want so many people to set off together?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the people with different postures, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Tang Ge looked at him and said, "You are the only one who can see the situation clearly, but you are enough for Kunlun Mountain."

Wu Cangyu didn't show any joy because of his praise, instead he frowned even tighter.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Junior Brother Wen and Junior Sister Tantai cannot follow us to take risks. Naturally, Junior Sister Gu and Brother Ning are unwilling to stay away from you, Uncle Ning. Maybe Yuan Che can help, but I always feel something is wrong. As for Horning..."

After a pause, he said again: "I don't believe him."

Tang Ge realized that he really admired this junior of Kunlun Mountain more and more. He casually glanced at Huo Ning and said, "Yuan Che said he is a ghost."

Wu Cangyu's expression changed suddenly, he took a look at Huo Ning and then looked away, his eyes were filled with chill, he was silent for a while before saying: "Master, is it useful to keep him?"

Tang Ge nodded and said, "Yes."

He didn't say the reason, and Wu Cangyu didn't ask, maybe it was a tacit understanding, or maybe it was because Wu Cangyu understood Tang Ge's thoughts.

Tang Ge said again: "I'll talk to him."

The voice fell, and in Wu Cangyu's sight, Tang Ge walked to Huo Ning's side, and then the two went to the river further away one by one.

……

……

"Are you a ghost?"

Tang Ge stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the crystal clear river water, his expression calmer than that of deep water.

Huoning nodded and responded.

Tang Ge said again: "Then you still follow Yuan Che to find us? With the grievances between Kunlun Mountain and Ghost, you should know that you may die at any time."

Huo Ning smiled bitterly and said, "I know, but if I didn't follow Yuan Che, Ding Ben wouldn't have solved the sword ant formation for me."

Tang Ge frowned, and asked, "What are you looking for in the underground ruins of Tongxiang City?"

Huo Ning did not hide, said: "Yue Chi."

Tang Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed past, and asked again: "Who told you to go?"

Horning hesitated for a moment before saying, "You Ming."

There was a moment of silence along the river.

Tang Ge stared at the depths of the water for a while, then turned to look at the aqua-green silhouette on the river bank in the distance, and then looked away after a moment.

He said, "How much do you know about Moon Chi?"

Horning shook his head and said, "I only know that it is a monster, and everything else is obeying orders."

There was another silence.

After a long time, a small black fish suddenly swung its tail fin and swam to the distance between a crevice in the rocks at the bottom of the river.

Tang Ge said, "You are different from other ghosts."

Horning smiled and said, "Where is the difference..."

Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly constricted, and a finger carrying an extremely cold and domineering sword energy pointed at the center of his brow.

At the same time, he saw that murderous cold face.

The sword energy surged, majestic like an abyss, everything happened in an instant, Huoning had no time to react, the silver armor on his body was instantly torn and completely shattered.

Tang Ge said: "But a ghost is a ghost, there is no difference."

The cold sound seemed to come from the depths of hell.

Huo Ning didn't know whether he forgot to resist or was unable to resist, a bloodstain appeared between his eyebrows, the sea of ​​Qi was disordered by the raging sword Qi, and his breath was exhausted to the extreme.

People in the distance noticed the change here, and although they were very surprised, they didn't take any action. Even Yuan Che just took a few extra glances and didn't do anything.

Huoning stepped back in horror, spewed out a big mouthful of blood, staining several pebbles by the river red.

He said tremblingly: "Do people in Kunlun Mountain really hate ghosts so much?"

Tang Ge said: "Now not only Kunlun Mountain, but the entire martial arts world has already regarded ghosts as enemies."

Huo Ning took a deep breath. After the incident of Tongxiang City's underground ruins, the ghost has indeed completely become the public enemy of the martial arts world.

Tang Ge glanced at him indifferently, then turned and left, and at the same time a voice came out: "The environment here is good, suitable for burying people."

Huo Ning's face changed suddenly, and the sea of ​​air suddenly violently turbulent, like a sea wave bursting a bank, his foundation was damaged, and he fell backward when his eyes were dark.

……

……

Horning is dead.

Yuan Che explained his identity, and Gu Zhiyue, Ning Zhiqiu and others recovered from their shock.

Tang Ge walked up to Yuan Che and asked, "You know his identity, why do you keep him?"

Yuan Che thought for a while, and said, "It was the three immortals of hell who killed my benefactor, and I have no grudges with Huo Ning."

Tang Ge nodded calmly, thinking that everyone's choice was different, and his choice was to kill Huoning.

He looked at Wenzhuo and Tantai Li again, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.

Tantai Li glanced at him, walked straight forward, and said at the same time: "Let's go."

This sentence was naturally said to Wen Zhuo.

Before Wen Zhuo could react, he saw that Tantai Li had walked a few feet away. He looked at Tang Ge, Wu Cangyu and others, suddenly gritted his teeth, saluted to Tang Ge, and said: "Uncle, I'll go first Go find Senior Sister Tantai and see you again if we have a chance."

He followed Tantai Li and left.

Tang Ge was very satisfied.

Wu Cangyu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, if the two of them followed them, they might be in constant danger.

Tang Ge looked at the rest of the people and nodded slightly.

"Let's go."

The five continued southward.

There was a dead body and pieces of silver armor scattered everywhere on the riverside, Yuan Che took an extra look at him before leaving, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

……

……

There is a slightly terrifying mountain range here. There are countless huge and bottomless cracks all over the pitch-black mountain. It is extremely dark, like the entrance to hell.

On a low mountain, Tang Ge and others looked at the terrifying scene in front of them, and were quite shocked for a while.

Tang Ge said: "This should be the Valley of Rifting Wind. Passing through here may not be far from the rumored God Burying Abyss."

Although the Rifting Wind Valley is full of cracks, the mountain road is not too difficult to walk. Except for those cracked places, most of the mountains are relatively gentle.

The five of them shuttled through the Rifting Valley Mountain Range, perfectly avoiding those abyssal cracks. Those huge cracks encircled the mountain like black dragons, eerie but extremely quiet.

In this way, it took them nearly half a day to pass through the Rifting Wind Valley smoothly.

Several days have passed since the battle with Yunjianzong's disciples, and they have never been chased by Duan Xiao and others during these days.

Ning Zhiqiu thought they were afraid to retreat, but whenever he saw Tang Ge's solemn expression, he felt bad, especially in the past few days, their speed of traveling became faster and faster.

After crossing the Rifting Wind Valley, they climbed over several mountains, and the sky suddenly darkened, and they stopped halfway up a mountain.

Ning Zhiqiu wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It's getting dark, should we take a rest?"

Wu Cangyu said: "It doesn't seem to be dark, you see."

Several people looked up, and as far as they could see was a flat land with a radius of several thousand feet, without any undulating mountains.

Here is a pitch-black wasteland, the sky above the wasteland is filled with gray mist, and the sky is difficult to shine, which makes the sky dark.

Suddenly, Ning Zhiqiu's pupils constricted, he looked to the south, and asked in horror, "What is that place?"

Thousands of feet away from where they were, to the south, there was an extremely thick black mist. There was faint lightning in the black mist, covering the vast land, making it impossible to see what was hidden in it.

Tang Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "It should be Shenshenyuan."
