Autumn
Chapter 12 Chaos
"Brother, I'm afraid the jade mine is going to die."
The second master of the Leng family ran in from the door anxiously, and sat down opposite his elder brother, his tone seemed a little impatient.
"Yun Qi, calm down. The matter of the jade mine is not a day or two, and it can still be supported." Leng Yunjie, the elder of the Leng family, handed a cup of tea to his younger brother. "I got news a few days ago that there are It’s a nice vein, I’m going to check it out.”
"Beiming State?"
"Yes, Wangyou Mountain in Beiming Prefecture seems to be very close to Floating Cloud City where my brother-in-law lives."
"Then why don't you ask your brother-in-law to take a look?"
"My brother-in-law's family is not in the jade business, let alone a frail scholar. What if something happens, what will Yunxiu do? Forget it, let me go and see for myself."
Leng Yunjie rejected his younger brother's proposal, but considering the geographical location of Wangyou Mountain, he felt that he could visit his sister by the way.After persuading his younger brother to go back, Leng Yunjie was still a little uneasy, so he went to the Leng Family Ancestral Hall.
The ancestors of the Leng family are enshrined in the ancestral hall, including their father of course.Leng Yunjie burned the incense, knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet, and said after taking a long breath.
"The ancestors are above all, and the unfilial son Leng Yunjie bows down here."
Then he knocked down.
"Yun Jie strictly abides by the legacy of his ancestors and dare not go beyond it. However, after his father passed away, the jade mine on Guanyin Mountain suddenly lost its veins, and the jade material became increasingly scarce. Yun Jie had to find new mines elsewhere. Now I know There are good ore veins on Wangyou Mountain, and Yun Jie will go to explore them in a few days, hoping that the ancestors will bless them and bring the Leng family back to life."
Leng Yunjie stood up, straightened his robes, and looked at the ancestral tablet with worry in his eyes.He doesn't know if this trip will be able to come true, but most of the time he can only think in a good direction.Leng Yunjie sighed lowly, and as soon as he walked out of the ancestral hall, he saw the housekeeper Uncle Cheng standing outside the ancestral hall from a distance, waiting.Looking at him, he seemed very anxious, at least I had never seen Uncle Cheng look so anxious.
"Uncle Cheng, what's the matter?"
"Master, it's amazing!" When Uncle Cheng saw Leng Yunjie walking out of the ancestral hall, he hurriedly greeted him, "Guanyin Mountain, something happened to Guanyin Mountain!"
Leng Yunjie looked like an uncle, almost crying, and the anxious tone made him even more uneasy.
"Uncle Cheng, calm down. Tell me, what happened?"
"Master, this... I can't tell what happened, but the worker who came to report said that someone died on Guanyin Mountain. Right now... the second master has already gone to Guanyin Mountain. I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
After hearing this, Leng Yunjie suddenly felt a little dizzy.Holding Uncle Cheng's hand, he was constantly sweating, and his legs seemed to be trembling, but he still managed to run outside the gate.
In the courtyard of the Leng Mansion lay the worker who came to report the letter, covered in blood, and lying on the bamboo couch breathing heavily.The invited doctor is neatly treating his wound.When Leng Yunjie saw this scene at first glance, he knew that there were many dangers and dangers on Guanyin Mountain.
"He... how could he be like this?"
The doctor looked up and saw that it was the elder of the Leng family, so he replied.
"The child was seriously injured. The wound seemed to be bitten by some wild animal. He lost too much blood. It's hard to say whether he can be revived."
"Beasts? Why are there wild beasts on Guanyin Mountain?"
Although the Guanyin Mountain in Yanle Town is not very famous, everyone knows that there are no beasts there. The biggest reason is that the vegetation there is not dense enough for the beasts to hide their bodies.Moreover, most of the raw materials for making jade in Yanle Town and Furong City come from there. In order to facilitate mining and transportation, people built roads and houses for workers to rest there. It is no longer suitable for animals such as wild animals to live there.So it was difficult for Leng Yunjie to understand the beast the doctor was talking about.
"This... the old man can't tell clearly, but the child was indeed bitten by a wild beast."
"Doctor, no matter what, do your best to save him." Leng Yunjie forced himself to calm down, "Uncle Cheng, ask your servants to take good care of your wife and children. Especially the second lady, don't let her worry."
"Yes. Then you..."
"I'll go to Guanyin Mountain. No matter what, I can't let my second brother have anything to do."
At this time, Guanyin Mountain had long since lost its tranquility. From the halfway up the mountain to the jade mine, what Leng Yunqi saw were mutilated corpses and blood-red streams formed between ravines.He frowned tightly, and almost fell off the mountain road several times.The strong smell of blood in the air made it difficult for him to breathe, and he even vomited frequently.Leng Yunqi resisted the uneasiness in his heart, and the sour liquid almost rushed up his throat, and finally stood at the entrance of the jade mine.This place is even more unsightly than the mountain roads he walked before, Leng Yunqi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally fell to his knees and vomited, and the accompanying servants had already collapsed to the side.
Stimulated by the unpleasant smell of vomit, Leng Yunqi calmed down a little.He forced himself to stand up, to face those shattered corpses and blood.In the air mixed with blood and vomit, he smelled an even more disgusting stench.This smell was indescribable to him, and he couldn't imagine what it was emanating from, but he clearly felt that the smell came from the depths of the jade mine.Just as he was about to step into the jade mine, there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain, and he heard his name clearly.
Leng Yunjie arrived at Guanyin Mountain almost at the fastest speed, and the scene on the mountain road was like falling into hell.He walked carefully but anxiously through those mountain paths, and when he was approaching the jade mine, he called out his brother's name loudly.He didn't feel relieved until a voice came from above his head.Leng Yunjie brought a few strong servants and almost ran to the jade mine.When he saw Leng Yunqi standing at the entrance of the jade mine, he let out a long breath.
"Why didn't you come to me? You came to such a dangerous place by yourself."
"I think Uncle Cheng didn't speak clearly, and that worker... In short, I think the situation is serious, so I brought people over without thinking too much. I didn't expect..."
Leng Yunqi glanced over the corpses, still feeling lingering fear.
"The doctor said it was attacked by a wild beast, but I don't think this is an ordinary wild beast."
Leng Yunjie comforted his younger brother, and then went to inspect the corpses.All the body parts showed signs of biting, and all were a success.It shows that the strength of the jaws of the beast is very strong, and the strength of the limbs is beyond the reach of ordinary beasts.There were bloodstains on the body parts, mixed with strange colors, and there seemed to be other smells besides the smell of blood.
"The color of these bloodstains is very strange, as if there is a green liquid in it." Leng Yunjie threw down the corpse in his hand and said, "It seems to have a strange smell."
"I also smelled it when I came here. The smell seems to come from the jade mine. Shall we go and have a look?"
"No. This is no longer a problem we can solve. I think we still have to find someone to help."
"But……"
"Come back with me now, my brother and sister are still waiting at home." Leng Yunjie sternly stopped his younger brother's reckless actions, "I will find someone to check, but it's not us."
In the early morning, a dark blue carriage stopped suddenly at the gate of Wuweiju, and the driver almost couldn't hold the horse.As soon as the carriage stopped, a person hurriedly got out of the car and went straight to Wuweiju's door.
The sound of knocking on the door seemed very anxious, and the whole Wuweiju was woken up.Meng Yue almost jumped up from the bed in shock from the continuous knocking on the door.He hurriedly dressed and rushed to the door with his shoes in hand.
The knocker was wearing a dark gray cloak, and the hat was so big that it almost covered most of his face.Meng Yue looked suspiciously at the person who came, and he knocked on the door as if urging his life before, which made him a little more disgusted and wary of the person coming.
"Who are you? Knocking on the door so early in the morning is dead."
"Little brother is right. People are indeed dead, and many of them died strangely. I want to see you, Mr. Lu."
The visitor seemed to deliberately suppress his anxiety, and spoke in an unsteady tone.And there was such a bit of horror and gloom in the tone that Meng Yue couldn't help shivering.
"Then come in."
Although he was very displeased with his knock on the door, judging from his tone of voice, something big should have happened.Meng Yue knew that what happened just now must have shocked Lu Li, and if he refused, he would definitely be punished.What's more, this person said that he died a lot, and he died strangely.He wanted to see how many people died and how strangely they died.
Lu Li was indeed taken aback by the knock on the door, and after some simple washing up, he received this mysterious guest in the study.
"Can you tell me your name?"
At this time, the guest had already taken off his cloak and hat. He was an old man about 60 years old, but he was tall and straight, and his eyes were hale and hearty.He has a gray beard.
"My surname is Leng, and I live in Furong City."
"The Leng family in Furong City?"
Lu Li was a little surprised. He planned to go to Furong City in two days, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him first.
"Exactly. I am Leng's eldest son and the current head of the family. My name is Leng Yunjie."
"Is Leng Yunjue your younger brother?"
Leng Yunjie was startled at first, then asked.
"Sir, have you seen my younger brother?"
"Yes, at Luming Temple. And he also told me about Cangyu Linglong. I planned to visit your residence in Furong City in two days."
"I didn't come here this time for Cangyu Linglong, but it has something to do with it." Leng Yunjie said with difficulty, "Since Mr. knows Cangyu Linglong, he should know that it was discovered in the jade mine on Guanyin Mountain. Five years After the death of the former father, the jade material in the jade mine began to drop sharply. This situation had already occurred as early as the third year after the younger brother became a monk. But five years ago, the amount of jade material decreased doubled, and now it is almost impossible to mine. The jade is gone. A worker from the jade mine the day before yesterday reported that someone had died on Guanyin Mountain, and the worker who reported the message also died when I set out to come here."
"The reduction in jade material may also be caused by over-exploitation."
"In order to ensure that there is always enough jade in Guanyin Mountain, everyone involved in the mining has made an agreement to only mine twice a year, and each time will not exceed three months. The jade that is mined has always been shared equally among several companies. This is the rule set by the ancestors."
There are four mountain ranges in Kyushu that are rich in jade mines, among which is the Yanyun Mountain Range, and Guanyin Mountain is in the middle of the Yanyun Mountain Range.According to Leng Yunjie, counting from the first generation of the patriarch of their family to open a mine, there are only three generations.In addition to the family rules inherited from generation to generation, it is true that the jade materials of Guanyin Mountain will not disappear so easily.
"Then can the workers talk about how the jade material is reduced?"
"The workers couldn't tell what was going on."
"The man died on the mountain, what happened?"
Leng Yunjie frowned and remained silent for a long time, before finally telling what he saw.But just his description made everyone in the study want to vomit.
"It does seem strange."
Lu Li suppressed the desire to vomit and said in a low voice.
"According to what you said, that would never be the work of an ordinary beast, I'm afraid it's..."
"demon?"
Lu Li followed Yin Danlu's words and made a guess.Yin Danlu nodded silently.
"It's not too late, let's start as soon as possible."
Ever since Leng Yunjie left, Leng Yunqi has been restless.The body parts on Guanyin Mountain and the strange smell in the jade mine made him unable to sleep all night, which made him anxious.
"Is brother back?"
"Not yet, I guess it will be soon. Qingfeng City will take a day and a half to get here."
Uncle Cheng brought the brewed tea to Leng Yunqi, trying to calm him down.
"Second Master, sit down first. It's not a problem if you are so anxious. When the Eldest Master comes back, you will know what to do."
"Uncle Cheng, it's not that I'm in a hurry. But this matter is really strange. You said, so many people died all at once. How can we open mines on Guanyin Mountain after this? Even if we can open mines, who would dare to buy those jades?"
Leng Yunqi frowned tightly, thinking of the difficult life of the Leng family in the future, he panicked.The Leng family has lived in Furong City for several generations, and he has been mining jade for three generations. He doesn't want the family's foundation to be destroyed by himself.
"The old man is back!"
The shout at the door brought Leng Yunqi back to his senses, and he ran out of the room in a hurry.At this time, Leng Yunjie was leading Lu Li to the study, and met Leng Yunqi on the way.
"Mr. Lu, this is the second brother Leng Yunqi."
"Mr. Lu? Is he Lu Li from Qingfeng City who lives in nothing?"
The first time Leng Yunqi heard Lu Li's name, he suddenly looked at him curiously.To say that this Leng Yunqi is also in his fifties, but he still has the temperament of his youth, impulsive and irritable, and he does things regardless of the consequences.Although he is only two years older than Leng Yunjue, Leng Yunjue is much more stable in comparison.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. My brother's temperament has been like this since he was young. I hope I didn't offend you."
"It's nothing, the second master has a very good personality."
"Mr. Lu, are there really monsters on Guanyin Mountain?"
Leng Yunqi knew that since Wuweiju would take over the big brother's commission, it meant that there were indeed monsters on Guanyin Mountain, but Leng Yunqi still had a little doubt about this kind of thing he had never seen before.
"Whether there is, we will find out when we arrive at Guanyin Mountain."
Leng Yunqi looked at Lu Li's blind eyes, and then looked at the people around him.These people seem to have supernatural powers, maybe there are really monsters on Guanyin Mountain.
Early the next morning, Leng Yunjie took Lu Li to Guanyin Mountain and left Leng Yunqi at the house to watch the house, even though Leng Yunqi was not satisfied with this decision.
It takes about two hours to go from Leng's house to Guanyin Mountain, and it is in two directions from the road leading to Qingfeng City.The carriage bumped all the way to the tea shed at the foot of Guanyin Mountain. This tea shed also belonged to Leng's family, and it was built for the convenience of merchants and workers.Everyone drank tea in the tea shed and rested for a while, then followed Leng Yunjie up the mountain.
The corpses began to appear halfway up the mountain, and there were more and more corpses along the way.The heavy smell of blood around him made Lu Li feel a little uncomfortable. He held Meng Yue's hand tightly and walked carefully on the mountain path, but he still would inevitably trip over those corpses.And the corpses at the entrance of the jade mine can be described as piled up like a mountain, even Jinse and the others turned their heads away a little unbearably.
"The smell of blood here is the same as when I came here, and it doesn't seem to have lessened. Moreover, there is a strange smell mixed in, as if it came from the jade mine. Yun Qi was going in, but I stopped him. I always I don't think it's safe in here."
"It's right that you didn't go in. There is indeed a problem here." Lu Li frowned and said, "For safety's sake, you go down the mountain first. We are here."
Leng Yunjie was a little worried, and when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Yin Danlu.
"My lord, you'd better go down the mountain."
Nodding helplessly, Leng Yunjie had no choice but to take his family down the mountain.
The situation outside the jade mine is almost clear at a glance, which is exactly the same as what Leng Yunjie said in Wuweiju back then.
"There is no need for exploration outside the mine, and now only the inside of the jade mine remains."
"You want to go directly to the mine?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't get tiger cubs." Lu Li swiftly threw a talisman towards the entrance of the jade mine, "If there is really something inside the mine, this talisman can block it, but someone still needs someone to pick it up outside the mine." to avoid any surprises."
"Your eyes are inconvenient, and the situation in the jade mine is also very strange." Jinse said thoughtfully, "I think you stay outside with Meng Yue and Yueying. The three of us go into the mine."
"For a person who is used to the darkness, there is light everywhere." Lu Li shook his head and smiled, "I must go in. Meng Yue, stay with Yueying and Honglian."
"Young master, you... yes, I understand."
Meng Yue wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Lu Li's profile, he knew that any persuasion was useless.
This jade mine on Guanyin Mountain is almost equivalent to an abandoned mine.The signs of mining only stayed a month ago, because of the sharp drop in jade materials, merchants have already looked for new mines.From the entrance to the corpses of workers that appeared on the mountainside, some of them should be left here to deal with the aftermath.Except for some mining tools that have not been shipped out, the mine has almost been emptied.But the deeper you go into the jade mine, the heavier the sour smell caused by corruption.Even if you hold your breath and walk forward, you can always smell this smell faintly.
"It's so clean here."
Jinse glanced at the mine tunnel he passed by, and it was indeed too clean, except for some scattered tools.
"This 'beast' likes to be clean, throwing all the corpses outside." Yin Danlu joked, "Not even a piece of jade."
"But the smell of corruption is so strong here."
"The smell of putrefaction is not necessarily a dead body."
"You mean, the smell of 'The Beast' itself."
Under Yin Danlu's guidance, Lu Li came to a conclusion.And this conclusion also made Lu Li more and more curious about what the so-called beast was.
Jinse's fox fire illuminates the deep mine tunnel, and the smell of corruption is stronger than before.Finally, they came to the end of the jade mine. Some fragments of wood and tools were still on the ground. It seemed that they planned to continue digging.
"The smell seems to be heavier on those soil layers."
Jinse wrinkled her nose. Although it was an ancient monster, it was still a fox.The sensitivity of the sense of smell is higher than that of humans.
"Since that's the case, let's just dig it down. The tools are still there anyway."
Yin Danlu picked up the shovel on the ground and tried it on her hand.
The soil was unexpectedly soft, and a hole was dug in two or three strokes.But it was such a hole that made the three of them start to be alert.
"The mountain is so compact that it has not been excavated here, and there is actually a cave."
"Maybe the monster is inside."
While talking, Yin Danlu dug the hole even bigger.Soon a cave that could accommodate adults was formed, and Jinse led Lu Li into the cave, and the smell inside confirmed their guess.Just as Lu Li was about to move, he seemed to have stepped on something.
"Don't move, it's a corpse."
Jinse frowned, and led Lu Li around the corpse on the ground.There are still many in the cave, most of which have become bones, and the rest should not be eaten.The cave is not very big, but very deep.Jinse illuminated the only passage with fox fire, except for the entrance of the passage, everything else was hidden in the darkness.
"Did you hear the sound?"
Jinse raised her ears to identify carefully.
"Well, it's the sound of chewing."
Lu Li's ears moved, and the sound of chewing and liquid dripping could be heard from the other end of the tunnel.
To the east of Guanyin Mountain is the entrance of the jade mine, while to the west there is a cave suspended in the air.The cave is not big, but it is very hidden, because the protruding cliff just covers the entrance of the cave.At the end of the cavern was a downward-facing hole big enough to cram a grizzly bear into.Down the hole, there is a huge space, a dark red and fat thing is wriggling quickly, it is hard to tell what it is.Its limbs are very strong, and its body is more like some kind of mollusc. Its head has only one big mouth, and there are two tentacles on the top of the head. There seem to be eyeballs on the top of the tentacles.Its mouth was chewing non-stop, and green liquid flowed out from the corners of its mouth and jaw from time to time, but it was such a strange and disgusting thing with wings on its back.While it chews, there is always a little blue light flashing on its forehead.
In this small space, apart from this monster, there are only a large number of corpses, and what the monster chews are these gradually decaying corpses.Passing over the monsters and corpses, you can see another passage, which is as dark as ink, I don't know how long it is, and I don't know where it leads to, but I can only faintly hear some voices coming from inside.
There is a faint light at the end of the passage, but strictly speaking, that light is only relative to the dark passage.Although brighter than the passageway, this huge space has a gray feeling.The chewing sound they heard before was right next to their ears, and the three of them turned to the source of the sound at the same time.
"chaos?"
"Chaos... the monsters of the Eight Desolation."
"But Chaos...doesn't eat people."
Jinse frowned and looked at the Chaos that was still chewing on the corpse, with a look of astonishment on her face.
"Jinse, what do you see on its forehead?"
The blue light on Chaos' forehead is still flickering, and it gets brighter each time.
"That's... that's right, that's greed."
"What is greed?"
Of course Lu Li understood the meaning of greed, but Jinse was obviously talking about something, and this kind of thing was called greed.
"Greed is a sapphire blue bead that can control the mind. It is formed by Qiong Qi's demon spirit. Once controlled by this bead, it will be like this chaos."
"And everything this Chaos eats will be transformed into monster power and absorbed by greed." Yin Danlu narrowed his eyes and looked at the glowing bead, "If this is the case, there must be that thing there."
"You mean the black crow responsible for recovering that bead?"
"There must be an ambush nearby. If we kill Chaos, it will show up and take the orb."
"Then do you plan to keep the beads? Although this is a way to find Qiongqi, after all, it was transformed by its demon spirit, and we will definitely find a way to get it back."
"Why not, I've already arrived here anyway, it's not my style, Yin Danlu, to return empty-handed."
Seeing Yin Danlu's conceited smile, Jinse shook her head helplessly, it seemed that today she was going to risk her life to accompany the gentleman.If greed is successfully captured this time, then the next fierce battle with Qiongqi will be inevitable.
Chaos, which was constantly eating, didn't even notice that someone had broken in, and those corpses were the only thing that attracted it, until a long whip knocked down the food it was about to eat.Its two tentacles-like eyes suddenly lifted up. Although the eyes were not big, they still contained some anger.The big mouth that was still gnawing on the corpse just now suddenly opened, revealing the bloody white teeth, and the blood red mouth, a rotten sour smell also gushed out from inside, a large amount of green liquid followed the unpleasant smell The gas splashed out together.
"Chaos has no self-awareness, but it knows how to torment good people."
"This guy has no internal organs at all. How does it digest the food it eats?"
Lu Li had learned about Chaos in ancient books, but its appearance was only limited to his imagination given by the words.
"It's enough to transform into a demon power, what internal organs are needed." Yin Danlu sneered, "Lu Li, this time you just stay by the side. I can deal with this guy alone."
While speaking, Yin Danlu's long whip had already swung towards Chaos's forehead, just as he expected, that bit of blue light would indeed protect this Chaos.The moment the long whip touched the blue light, Yin Danlu felt a sharp pain in the jaws of the tiger. Frowning, the long whip slashed towards Chaos's face, this time right under its forehead, and a bloodstain immediately appeared, splashing And the green blood.
The stimulation of pain made Chaos become agitated. Although its fat body prevented it from moving flexibly, its strong limbs were its strongest weapon.The corpse was used as a hidden weapon, and it went straight to Yin Danlu's face. The long whip swung down without hesitation, smashing the corpse that flew in front of him to pieces.Yin Danlu glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Chaos's powerful left foreleg had swept across to his waist, and at the same time as turning over and passing by, the long whip wrapped around Chaos's left shoulder.Relying on the strength of turning over and landing on the ground, Yin Danlu yanked the whip, only to hear the sound of cloth being torn, and Chaos' left foreleg flew down behind Lu Li's right.The green blood drew an arc in mid-air, and finally scattered on the ground and the fragmented corpses.Without Jinse's protection, Lu Li would probably be covered in green blood.
Chaos, who had lost his left foreleg, let out a roar that shook the entire cave.Jinse's eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the passage at the other end of the cave. The passage was not long, but it was spacious.There seemed to be some movement at the end. She squinted her eyes and observed carefully for a while. She believed in her eyesight, and she was absolutely right.Above the passage is the hole, and the thing that has been poking around since just now is the black crow.
Strictly speaking, the black crow is not a demon, but in fact it is not even a demon.They are just part of the demon power separated from Qiongqi's body. They have part of Qiongqi's ability, but their main function is to deliver messages for Qiongqi, and to release and recover greed.It cannot be said that they have no attack power, but they will not take the initiative to participate in the battle. They are the most opportunistic among the wilderness.The appearance of the black crows so quickly shows that they have realized that this chaos can't last long. In order to recover greed as quickly as possible at the right time, they will watch for a long time.
Lu Li noticed that Jinse moved her body and grabbed her arm.
"what are you going to do?"
"You, do you feel anything?"
Originally, he planned to deal with Black Crow by himself, but Lu Li seemed to have sensed something.
"Something has come out, but they don't seem to want to join the battle. Being able to wait for an opportunity so patiently should be the black crow you just mentioned."
Sometimes Jinse had to admire Lu Li, he seldom fought, but he was always able to analyze the situation of the opponent and the situation lightly.
"You're too perceptive."
"It's not appropriate for you to put me here alone."
"Then follow me closely."
Jin Se winked at Yin Danlu, who immediately understood.The long whip's offensive seems to have eased up a bit.
"Good tactics."
Lu Li said with a smile.Jinse was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, put her arms around Lu Li's waist, and left the cave with a single movement.
Two black crows have gathered at the entrance to the cave. Usually, one black crow is responsible for confusing the enemy and the other is responsible for recycling greed.But if the enemy is too strong, the last one will quickly flee and report back first.
The name of the black jay comes from their body. Their body shape is comparable to that of ordinary falcons. Their bodies are jet black, and even their beaks and eyes are black.They never sang, and their black beaks never opened.Crows' wings are so large that, when fully extended, their total length exceeds their body.
At this moment, the two black crows looked at each other face to face, because they sensed that the battle situation below had changed, and the opponent's attack power seemed to have weakened.As long as Chaos is not dead and Greed is not in danger of being taken away, they will not join the battle for the time being.Suddenly, one of the black crows half-spread its wings and sent a message with a movement that only its companions could understand, and soon the other black crow flew out of the cave.
Jinse flew out of the huge cave with Lu Li, landed steadily and saw the black crow that had retreated to the entrance of the cave.
"That's right. Looks like the other one has gone into hiding."
"There are two black crows?"
"That's right, but there's only one here. It means it's used to confuse the enemy." Jinse looked at the black crow and twitched her lips. "Although there is only one, it is not easy to deal with."
As soon as the silver-white foxfire flashed out in his hand, the black crow had already spread its wings, its neck stretched forward, and a fierce gleam appeared in its jet-black eyes.Jinse smiled and threw out the fox fire with a wave of her hand. The black crow swung its wings violently and threw the fox fire down.But the first wave of foxfire was just a bluff, and then the second wave of foxfire attacked the black crow again. At the moment it swooped for the second time, the nebula in Jinse's hand went from bottom to top, cutting off the black crow. wings.A puff of black smoke rushed out from the wound, and Jinse quickly threw out the fox fire. The silver-white fox fire was entangled with the black smoke, and the black mist swallowed the fox fire in an instant.Although the black crow lost a wing, it didn't seem to have any effect on it.The black mist formed another phantom wing on the black crow's body, and with its movements, it threw out the black mist wrapped in the foxfire forcefully.
Jinse held Xingyun horizontally in front of her body, with the palm of her left hand facing outwards, a silver light flashed in the palm, which seemed to be a word.The silver light expanded rapidly, and instantly opened a net of many silver and white lights in front of Jinse's body.The color of the net is black with dark blue, and those intertwined silvery-white rays of light flashed indistinctly in this deep tone, just like the starry sky at night.
The black mist engulfed in fox fire hit the net, and was absorbed by the net in an instant.There was a red light in the crow's black eyes, and it had already realized the strength of the other party.However, as the information transmitter and greedy recycler, the black crow is doomed to have the biggest difference from other low-level monsters—intelligence.Crows are highly intelligent, they can analyze the battle situation and make correct choices.At this time, the black crow's gaze was on Lu Li who was standing beside him.
Lu Li, who was standing on the sidelines "watching the battle", suddenly frowned. He noticed that someone was looking at him. There was murderous intent in those eyes, but there seemed to be other intentions in them.He lowered his hand, and slipped a bright yellow talisman from his wide sleeve, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Jinse discovered the abnormal behavior of the black crow early in the morning, and held up the tip of Xingyun's sword with the palm of his left hand, and the net was put into the sword body together with the black mist covering the fox fire. Various shades of black smoke.Jinse's eyes followed the black crow that was flying towards Lu Li, but the nebula in her hand was waiting for the best time.
Just as Lu Li expected, the black crow flew towards him.Lu Li's ears moved, his toes subconsciously moved in the opposite direction of the sound, and the talisman in his hand was thrown out at the right time.
The crow flew towards Lu Li, but he didn't expect Lu Li to dodge. He only felt a burning pain on one side of his body.But it didn't stop, but suddenly changed direction in mid-air, and rushed straight to the hole.Just when it was about to fall into the hole, Jinse's nebula just swung down.A black ball broke away from the tip of the sword and hit Crow's back.Following the powerful force of the ball, the black crow fell straight into the passage under the hole.And the several talismans that had been placed in the passage were also activated instantly.
The activated talismans were placed by Lu Li when he entered the tunnel.When Lu Li realized that the target of the black crow was actually the entrance of the cave, he had already activated those talismans.Once these talismans are activated, they will emit golden-red light, and these dazzling lights will instantly wipe out the black crow.
The violent vibration almost caused the entire cave to collapse. Yin Danlu frowned, looked down at the lifeless Chaos, and kicked the fat body with her feet.The sapphire blue bead in his hand has lost its luster, and its color has become somewhat dull.Yin Danlu held the bead tightly, and walked towards the passage that Jinse passed through just now.Suddenly he stopped, and looked back at the corpses still piled up, as well as the huge corpse.He lowered his eyelids and seemed to be thinking about something.Then with a wave of his hand, there was a sea of flames behind him.
Outside the entrance of the cave, Jinse was looking at another black crow flying far away, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Let it go back and report the letter?"
"Someone has to tell Qiongqi what happened." Jinse looked back at Lu Li, "I'm afraid your inaction will be more lively in the future."
"I'm fine. It's just that Meng Yue doesn't like to cause trouble. He may have a lot of complaints."
"That brat doesn't look like a cultivator at all... But speaking of it, neither do you."
"Then what am I like?"
"I don't know, I don't know. In short, you are a mystery to us. Besides, you are still a disciple of Sang Yu."
Jinse shook her head, looking intently at Lu Li's blind eyes.Those eyes are actually very bright, but for some reason they just can't see the world.There is a kind of power in Lu Li's body, this kind of power seems to be very old, Jinse can't find out what it is.But one thing she was sure of was that the mysterious power in Lu Li was well hidden, it seemed that someone deliberately sealed it.And Lu Li himself didn't seem to know anything about it, could it be Sang Yu?Or some other mysterious figure.
"Are you two talking about love?"
"Then why do you return without understanding
The second master of the Leng family ran in from the door anxiously, and sat down opposite his elder brother, his tone seemed a little impatient.
"Yun Qi, calm down. The matter of the jade mine is not a day or two, and it can still be supported." Leng Yunjie, the elder of the Leng family, handed a cup of tea to his younger brother. "I got news a few days ago that there are It’s a nice vein, I’m going to check it out.”
"Beiming State?"
"Yes, Wangyou Mountain in Beiming Prefecture seems to be very close to Floating Cloud City where my brother-in-law lives."
"Then why don't you ask your brother-in-law to take a look?"
"My brother-in-law's family is not in the jade business, let alone a frail scholar. What if something happens, what will Yunxiu do? Forget it, let me go and see for myself."
Leng Yunjie rejected his younger brother's proposal, but considering the geographical location of Wangyou Mountain, he felt that he could visit his sister by the way.After persuading his younger brother to go back, Leng Yunjie was still a little uneasy, so he went to the Leng Family Ancestral Hall.
The ancestors of the Leng family are enshrined in the ancestral hall, including their father of course.Leng Yunjie burned the incense, knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet, and said after taking a long breath.
"The ancestors are above all, and the unfilial son Leng Yunjie bows down here."
Then he knocked down.
"Yun Jie strictly abides by the legacy of his ancestors and dare not go beyond it. However, after his father passed away, the jade mine on Guanyin Mountain suddenly lost its veins, and the jade material became increasingly scarce. Yun Jie had to find new mines elsewhere. Now I know There are good ore veins on Wangyou Mountain, and Yun Jie will go to explore them in a few days, hoping that the ancestors will bless them and bring the Leng family back to life."
Leng Yunjie stood up, straightened his robes, and looked at the ancestral tablet with worry in his eyes.He doesn't know if this trip will be able to come true, but most of the time he can only think in a good direction.Leng Yunjie sighed lowly, and as soon as he walked out of the ancestral hall, he saw the housekeeper Uncle Cheng standing outside the ancestral hall from a distance, waiting.Looking at him, he seemed very anxious, at least I had never seen Uncle Cheng look so anxious.
"Uncle Cheng, what's the matter?"
"Master, it's amazing!" When Uncle Cheng saw Leng Yunjie walking out of the ancestral hall, he hurriedly greeted him, "Guanyin Mountain, something happened to Guanyin Mountain!"
Leng Yunjie looked like an uncle, almost crying, and the anxious tone made him even more uneasy.
"Uncle Cheng, calm down. Tell me, what happened?"
"Master, this... I can't tell what happened, but the worker who came to report said that someone died on Guanyin Mountain. Right now... the second master has already gone to Guanyin Mountain. I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
After hearing this, Leng Yunjie suddenly felt a little dizzy.Holding Uncle Cheng's hand, he was constantly sweating, and his legs seemed to be trembling, but he still managed to run outside the gate.
In the courtyard of the Leng Mansion lay the worker who came to report the letter, covered in blood, and lying on the bamboo couch breathing heavily.The invited doctor is neatly treating his wound.When Leng Yunjie saw this scene at first glance, he knew that there were many dangers and dangers on Guanyin Mountain.
"He... how could he be like this?"
The doctor looked up and saw that it was the elder of the Leng family, so he replied.
"The child was seriously injured. The wound seemed to be bitten by some wild animal. He lost too much blood. It's hard to say whether he can be revived."
"Beasts? Why are there wild beasts on Guanyin Mountain?"
Although the Guanyin Mountain in Yanle Town is not very famous, everyone knows that there are no beasts there. The biggest reason is that the vegetation there is not dense enough for the beasts to hide their bodies.Moreover, most of the raw materials for making jade in Yanle Town and Furong City come from there. In order to facilitate mining and transportation, people built roads and houses for workers to rest there. It is no longer suitable for animals such as wild animals to live there.So it was difficult for Leng Yunjie to understand the beast the doctor was talking about.
"This... the old man can't tell clearly, but the child was indeed bitten by a wild beast."
"Doctor, no matter what, do your best to save him." Leng Yunjie forced himself to calm down, "Uncle Cheng, ask your servants to take good care of your wife and children. Especially the second lady, don't let her worry."
"Yes. Then you..."
"I'll go to Guanyin Mountain. No matter what, I can't let my second brother have anything to do."
At this time, Guanyin Mountain had long since lost its tranquility. From the halfway up the mountain to the jade mine, what Leng Yunqi saw were mutilated corpses and blood-red streams formed between ravines.He frowned tightly, and almost fell off the mountain road several times.The strong smell of blood in the air made it difficult for him to breathe, and he even vomited frequently.Leng Yunqi resisted the uneasiness in his heart, and the sour liquid almost rushed up his throat, and finally stood at the entrance of the jade mine.This place is even more unsightly than the mountain roads he walked before, Leng Yunqi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally fell to his knees and vomited, and the accompanying servants had already collapsed to the side.
Stimulated by the unpleasant smell of vomit, Leng Yunqi calmed down a little.He forced himself to stand up, to face those shattered corpses and blood.In the air mixed with blood and vomit, he smelled an even more disgusting stench.This smell was indescribable to him, and he couldn't imagine what it was emanating from, but he clearly felt that the smell came from the depths of the jade mine.Just as he was about to step into the jade mine, there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain, and he heard his name clearly.
Leng Yunjie arrived at Guanyin Mountain almost at the fastest speed, and the scene on the mountain road was like falling into hell.He walked carefully but anxiously through those mountain paths, and when he was approaching the jade mine, he called out his brother's name loudly.He didn't feel relieved until a voice came from above his head.Leng Yunjie brought a few strong servants and almost ran to the jade mine.When he saw Leng Yunqi standing at the entrance of the jade mine, he let out a long breath.
"Why didn't you come to me? You came to such a dangerous place by yourself."
"I think Uncle Cheng didn't speak clearly, and that worker... In short, I think the situation is serious, so I brought people over without thinking too much. I didn't expect..."
Leng Yunqi glanced over the corpses, still feeling lingering fear.
"The doctor said it was attacked by a wild beast, but I don't think this is an ordinary wild beast."
Leng Yunjie comforted his younger brother, and then went to inspect the corpses.All the body parts showed signs of biting, and all were a success.It shows that the strength of the jaws of the beast is very strong, and the strength of the limbs is beyond the reach of ordinary beasts.There were bloodstains on the body parts, mixed with strange colors, and there seemed to be other smells besides the smell of blood.
"The color of these bloodstains is very strange, as if there is a green liquid in it." Leng Yunjie threw down the corpse in his hand and said, "It seems to have a strange smell."
"I also smelled it when I came here. The smell seems to come from the jade mine. Shall we go and have a look?"
"No. This is no longer a problem we can solve. I think we still have to find someone to help."
"But……"
"Come back with me now, my brother and sister are still waiting at home." Leng Yunjie sternly stopped his younger brother's reckless actions, "I will find someone to check, but it's not us."
In the early morning, a dark blue carriage stopped suddenly at the gate of Wuweiju, and the driver almost couldn't hold the horse.As soon as the carriage stopped, a person hurriedly got out of the car and went straight to Wuweiju's door.
The sound of knocking on the door seemed very anxious, and the whole Wuweiju was woken up.Meng Yue almost jumped up from the bed in shock from the continuous knocking on the door.He hurriedly dressed and rushed to the door with his shoes in hand.
The knocker was wearing a dark gray cloak, and the hat was so big that it almost covered most of his face.Meng Yue looked suspiciously at the person who came, and he knocked on the door as if urging his life before, which made him a little more disgusted and wary of the person coming.
"Who are you? Knocking on the door so early in the morning is dead."
"Little brother is right. People are indeed dead, and many of them died strangely. I want to see you, Mr. Lu."
The visitor seemed to deliberately suppress his anxiety, and spoke in an unsteady tone.And there was such a bit of horror and gloom in the tone that Meng Yue couldn't help shivering.
"Then come in."
Although he was very displeased with his knock on the door, judging from his tone of voice, something big should have happened.Meng Yue knew that what happened just now must have shocked Lu Li, and if he refused, he would definitely be punished.What's more, this person said that he died a lot, and he died strangely.He wanted to see how many people died and how strangely they died.
Lu Li was indeed taken aback by the knock on the door, and after some simple washing up, he received this mysterious guest in the study.
"Can you tell me your name?"
At this time, the guest had already taken off his cloak and hat. He was an old man about 60 years old, but he was tall and straight, and his eyes were hale and hearty.He has a gray beard.
"My surname is Leng, and I live in Furong City."
"The Leng family in Furong City?"
Lu Li was a little surprised. He planned to go to Furong City in two days, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him first.
"Exactly. I am Leng's eldest son and the current head of the family. My name is Leng Yunjie."
"Is Leng Yunjue your younger brother?"
Leng Yunjie was startled at first, then asked.
"Sir, have you seen my younger brother?"
"Yes, at Luming Temple. And he also told me about Cangyu Linglong. I planned to visit your residence in Furong City in two days."
"I didn't come here this time for Cangyu Linglong, but it has something to do with it." Leng Yunjie said with difficulty, "Since Mr. knows Cangyu Linglong, he should know that it was discovered in the jade mine on Guanyin Mountain. Five years After the death of the former father, the jade material in the jade mine began to drop sharply. This situation had already occurred as early as the third year after the younger brother became a monk. But five years ago, the amount of jade material decreased doubled, and now it is almost impossible to mine. The jade is gone. A worker from the jade mine the day before yesterday reported that someone had died on Guanyin Mountain, and the worker who reported the message also died when I set out to come here."
"The reduction in jade material may also be caused by over-exploitation."
"In order to ensure that there is always enough jade in Guanyin Mountain, everyone involved in the mining has made an agreement to only mine twice a year, and each time will not exceed three months. The jade that is mined has always been shared equally among several companies. This is the rule set by the ancestors."
There are four mountain ranges in Kyushu that are rich in jade mines, among which is the Yanyun Mountain Range, and Guanyin Mountain is in the middle of the Yanyun Mountain Range.According to Leng Yunjie, counting from the first generation of the patriarch of their family to open a mine, there are only three generations.In addition to the family rules inherited from generation to generation, it is true that the jade materials of Guanyin Mountain will not disappear so easily.
"Then can the workers talk about how the jade material is reduced?"
"The workers couldn't tell what was going on."
"The man died on the mountain, what happened?"
Leng Yunjie frowned and remained silent for a long time, before finally telling what he saw.But just his description made everyone in the study want to vomit.
"It does seem strange."
Lu Li suppressed the desire to vomit and said in a low voice.
"According to what you said, that would never be the work of an ordinary beast, I'm afraid it's..."
"demon?"
Lu Li followed Yin Danlu's words and made a guess.Yin Danlu nodded silently.
"It's not too late, let's start as soon as possible."
Ever since Leng Yunjie left, Leng Yunqi has been restless.The body parts on Guanyin Mountain and the strange smell in the jade mine made him unable to sleep all night, which made him anxious.
"Is brother back?"
"Not yet, I guess it will be soon. Qingfeng City will take a day and a half to get here."
Uncle Cheng brought the brewed tea to Leng Yunqi, trying to calm him down.
"Second Master, sit down first. It's not a problem if you are so anxious. When the Eldest Master comes back, you will know what to do."
"Uncle Cheng, it's not that I'm in a hurry. But this matter is really strange. You said, so many people died all at once. How can we open mines on Guanyin Mountain after this? Even if we can open mines, who would dare to buy those jades?"
Leng Yunqi frowned tightly, thinking of the difficult life of the Leng family in the future, he panicked.The Leng family has lived in Furong City for several generations, and he has been mining jade for three generations. He doesn't want the family's foundation to be destroyed by himself.
"The old man is back!"
The shout at the door brought Leng Yunqi back to his senses, and he ran out of the room in a hurry.At this time, Leng Yunjie was leading Lu Li to the study, and met Leng Yunqi on the way.
"Mr. Lu, this is the second brother Leng Yunqi."
"Mr. Lu? Is he Lu Li from Qingfeng City who lives in nothing?"
The first time Leng Yunqi heard Lu Li's name, he suddenly looked at him curiously.To say that this Leng Yunqi is also in his fifties, but he still has the temperament of his youth, impulsive and irritable, and he does things regardless of the consequences.Although he is only two years older than Leng Yunjue, Leng Yunjue is much more stable in comparison.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. My brother's temperament has been like this since he was young. I hope I didn't offend you."
"It's nothing, the second master has a very good personality."
"Mr. Lu, are there really monsters on Guanyin Mountain?"
Leng Yunqi knew that since Wuweiju would take over the big brother's commission, it meant that there were indeed monsters on Guanyin Mountain, but Leng Yunqi still had a little doubt about this kind of thing he had never seen before.
"Whether there is, we will find out when we arrive at Guanyin Mountain."
Leng Yunqi looked at Lu Li's blind eyes, and then looked at the people around him.These people seem to have supernatural powers, maybe there are really monsters on Guanyin Mountain.
Early the next morning, Leng Yunjie took Lu Li to Guanyin Mountain and left Leng Yunqi at the house to watch the house, even though Leng Yunqi was not satisfied with this decision.
It takes about two hours to go from Leng's house to Guanyin Mountain, and it is in two directions from the road leading to Qingfeng City.The carriage bumped all the way to the tea shed at the foot of Guanyin Mountain. This tea shed also belonged to Leng's family, and it was built for the convenience of merchants and workers.Everyone drank tea in the tea shed and rested for a while, then followed Leng Yunjie up the mountain.
The corpses began to appear halfway up the mountain, and there were more and more corpses along the way.The heavy smell of blood around him made Lu Li feel a little uncomfortable. He held Meng Yue's hand tightly and walked carefully on the mountain path, but he still would inevitably trip over those corpses.And the corpses at the entrance of the jade mine can be described as piled up like a mountain, even Jinse and the others turned their heads away a little unbearably.
"The smell of blood here is the same as when I came here, and it doesn't seem to have lessened. Moreover, there is a strange smell mixed in, as if it came from the jade mine. Yun Qi was going in, but I stopped him. I always I don't think it's safe in here."
"It's right that you didn't go in. There is indeed a problem here." Lu Li frowned and said, "For safety's sake, you go down the mountain first. We are here."
Leng Yunjie was a little worried, and when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Yin Danlu.
"My lord, you'd better go down the mountain."
Nodding helplessly, Leng Yunjie had no choice but to take his family down the mountain.
The situation outside the jade mine is almost clear at a glance, which is exactly the same as what Leng Yunjie said in Wuweiju back then.
"There is no need for exploration outside the mine, and now only the inside of the jade mine remains."
"You want to go directly to the mine?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't get tiger cubs." Lu Li swiftly threw a talisman towards the entrance of the jade mine, "If there is really something inside the mine, this talisman can block it, but someone still needs someone to pick it up outside the mine." to avoid any surprises."
"Your eyes are inconvenient, and the situation in the jade mine is also very strange." Jinse said thoughtfully, "I think you stay outside with Meng Yue and Yueying. The three of us go into the mine."
"For a person who is used to the darkness, there is light everywhere." Lu Li shook his head and smiled, "I must go in. Meng Yue, stay with Yueying and Honglian."
"Young master, you... yes, I understand."
Meng Yue wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Lu Li's profile, he knew that any persuasion was useless.
This jade mine on Guanyin Mountain is almost equivalent to an abandoned mine.The signs of mining only stayed a month ago, because of the sharp drop in jade materials, merchants have already looked for new mines.From the entrance to the corpses of workers that appeared on the mountainside, some of them should be left here to deal with the aftermath.Except for some mining tools that have not been shipped out, the mine has almost been emptied.But the deeper you go into the jade mine, the heavier the sour smell caused by corruption.Even if you hold your breath and walk forward, you can always smell this smell faintly.
"It's so clean here."
Jinse glanced at the mine tunnel he passed by, and it was indeed too clean, except for some scattered tools.
"This 'beast' likes to be clean, throwing all the corpses outside." Yin Danlu joked, "Not even a piece of jade."
"But the smell of corruption is so strong here."
"The smell of putrefaction is not necessarily a dead body."
"You mean, the smell of 'The Beast' itself."
Under Yin Danlu's guidance, Lu Li came to a conclusion.And this conclusion also made Lu Li more and more curious about what the so-called beast was.
Jinse's fox fire illuminates the deep mine tunnel, and the smell of corruption is stronger than before.Finally, they came to the end of the jade mine. Some fragments of wood and tools were still on the ground. It seemed that they planned to continue digging.
"The smell seems to be heavier on those soil layers."
Jinse wrinkled her nose. Although it was an ancient monster, it was still a fox.The sensitivity of the sense of smell is higher than that of humans.
"Since that's the case, let's just dig it down. The tools are still there anyway."
Yin Danlu picked up the shovel on the ground and tried it on her hand.
The soil was unexpectedly soft, and a hole was dug in two or three strokes.But it was such a hole that made the three of them start to be alert.
"The mountain is so compact that it has not been excavated here, and there is actually a cave."
"Maybe the monster is inside."
While talking, Yin Danlu dug the hole even bigger.Soon a cave that could accommodate adults was formed, and Jinse led Lu Li into the cave, and the smell inside confirmed their guess.Just as Lu Li was about to move, he seemed to have stepped on something.
"Don't move, it's a corpse."
Jinse frowned, and led Lu Li around the corpse on the ground.There are still many in the cave, most of which have become bones, and the rest should not be eaten.The cave is not very big, but very deep.Jinse illuminated the only passage with fox fire, except for the entrance of the passage, everything else was hidden in the darkness.
"Did you hear the sound?"
Jinse raised her ears to identify carefully.
"Well, it's the sound of chewing."
Lu Li's ears moved, and the sound of chewing and liquid dripping could be heard from the other end of the tunnel.
To the east of Guanyin Mountain is the entrance of the jade mine, while to the west there is a cave suspended in the air.The cave is not big, but it is very hidden, because the protruding cliff just covers the entrance of the cave.At the end of the cavern was a downward-facing hole big enough to cram a grizzly bear into.Down the hole, there is a huge space, a dark red and fat thing is wriggling quickly, it is hard to tell what it is.Its limbs are very strong, and its body is more like some kind of mollusc. Its head has only one big mouth, and there are two tentacles on the top of the head. There seem to be eyeballs on the top of the tentacles.Its mouth was chewing non-stop, and green liquid flowed out from the corners of its mouth and jaw from time to time, but it was such a strange and disgusting thing with wings on its back.While it chews, there is always a little blue light flashing on its forehead.
In this small space, apart from this monster, there are only a large number of corpses, and what the monster chews are these gradually decaying corpses.Passing over the monsters and corpses, you can see another passage, which is as dark as ink, I don't know how long it is, and I don't know where it leads to, but I can only faintly hear some voices coming from inside.
There is a faint light at the end of the passage, but strictly speaking, that light is only relative to the dark passage.Although brighter than the passageway, this huge space has a gray feeling.The chewing sound they heard before was right next to their ears, and the three of them turned to the source of the sound at the same time.
"chaos?"
"Chaos... the monsters of the Eight Desolation."
"But Chaos...doesn't eat people."
Jinse frowned and looked at the Chaos that was still chewing on the corpse, with a look of astonishment on her face.
"Jinse, what do you see on its forehead?"
The blue light on Chaos' forehead is still flickering, and it gets brighter each time.
"That's... that's right, that's greed."
"What is greed?"
Of course Lu Li understood the meaning of greed, but Jinse was obviously talking about something, and this kind of thing was called greed.
"Greed is a sapphire blue bead that can control the mind. It is formed by Qiong Qi's demon spirit. Once controlled by this bead, it will be like this chaos."
"And everything this Chaos eats will be transformed into monster power and absorbed by greed." Yin Danlu narrowed his eyes and looked at the glowing bead, "If this is the case, there must be that thing there."
"You mean the black crow responsible for recovering that bead?"
"There must be an ambush nearby. If we kill Chaos, it will show up and take the orb."
"Then do you plan to keep the beads? Although this is a way to find Qiongqi, after all, it was transformed by its demon spirit, and we will definitely find a way to get it back."
"Why not, I've already arrived here anyway, it's not my style, Yin Danlu, to return empty-handed."
Seeing Yin Danlu's conceited smile, Jinse shook her head helplessly, it seemed that today she was going to risk her life to accompany the gentleman.If greed is successfully captured this time, then the next fierce battle with Qiongqi will be inevitable.
Chaos, which was constantly eating, didn't even notice that someone had broken in, and those corpses were the only thing that attracted it, until a long whip knocked down the food it was about to eat.Its two tentacles-like eyes suddenly lifted up. Although the eyes were not big, they still contained some anger.The big mouth that was still gnawing on the corpse just now suddenly opened, revealing the bloody white teeth, and the blood red mouth, a rotten sour smell also gushed out from inside, a large amount of green liquid followed the unpleasant smell The gas splashed out together.
"Chaos has no self-awareness, but it knows how to torment good people."
"This guy has no internal organs at all. How does it digest the food it eats?"
Lu Li had learned about Chaos in ancient books, but its appearance was only limited to his imagination given by the words.
"It's enough to transform into a demon power, what internal organs are needed." Yin Danlu sneered, "Lu Li, this time you just stay by the side. I can deal with this guy alone."
While speaking, Yin Danlu's long whip had already swung towards Chaos's forehead, just as he expected, that bit of blue light would indeed protect this Chaos.The moment the long whip touched the blue light, Yin Danlu felt a sharp pain in the jaws of the tiger. Frowning, the long whip slashed towards Chaos's face, this time right under its forehead, and a bloodstain immediately appeared, splashing And the green blood.
The stimulation of pain made Chaos become agitated. Although its fat body prevented it from moving flexibly, its strong limbs were its strongest weapon.The corpse was used as a hidden weapon, and it went straight to Yin Danlu's face. The long whip swung down without hesitation, smashing the corpse that flew in front of him to pieces.Yin Danlu glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Chaos's powerful left foreleg had swept across to his waist, and at the same time as turning over and passing by, the long whip wrapped around Chaos's left shoulder.Relying on the strength of turning over and landing on the ground, Yin Danlu yanked the whip, only to hear the sound of cloth being torn, and Chaos' left foreleg flew down behind Lu Li's right.The green blood drew an arc in mid-air, and finally scattered on the ground and the fragmented corpses.Without Jinse's protection, Lu Li would probably be covered in green blood.
Chaos, who had lost his left foreleg, let out a roar that shook the entire cave.Jinse's eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the passage at the other end of the cave. The passage was not long, but it was spacious.There seemed to be some movement at the end. She squinted her eyes and observed carefully for a while. She believed in her eyesight, and she was absolutely right.Above the passage is the hole, and the thing that has been poking around since just now is the black crow.
Strictly speaking, the black crow is not a demon, but in fact it is not even a demon.They are just part of the demon power separated from Qiongqi's body. They have part of Qiongqi's ability, but their main function is to deliver messages for Qiongqi, and to release and recover greed.It cannot be said that they have no attack power, but they will not take the initiative to participate in the battle. They are the most opportunistic among the wilderness.The appearance of the black crows so quickly shows that they have realized that this chaos can't last long. In order to recover greed as quickly as possible at the right time, they will watch for a long time.
Lu Li noticed that Jinse moved her body and grabbed her arm.
"what are you going to do?"
"You, do you feel anything?"
Originally, he planned to deal with Black Crow by himself, but Lu Li seemed to have sensed something.
"Something has come out, but they don't seem to want to join the battle. Being able to wait for an opportunity so patiently should be the black crow you just mentioned."
Sometimes Jinse had to admire Lu Li, he seldom fought, but he was always able to analyze the situation of the opponent and the situation lightly.
"You're too perceptive."
"It's not appropriate for you to put me here alone."
"Then follow me closely."
Jin Se winked at Yin Danlu, who immediately understood.The long whip's offensive seems to have eased up a bit.
"Good tactics."
Lu Li said with a smile.Jinse was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, put her arms around Lu Li's waist, and left the cave with a single movement.
Two black crows have gathered at the entrance to the cave. Usually, one black crow is responsible for confusing the enemy and the other is responsible for recycling greed.But if the enemy is too strong, the last one will quickly flee and report back first.
The name of the black jay comes from their body. Their body shape is comparable to that of ordinary falcons. Their bodies are jet black, and even their beaks and eyes are black.They never sang, and their black beaks never opened.Crows' wings are so large that, when fully extended, their total length exceeds their body.
At this moment, the two black crows looked at each other face to face, because they sensed that the battle situation below had changed, and the opponent's attack power seemed to have weakened.As long as Chaos is not dead and Greed is not in danger of being taken away, they will not join the battle for the time being.Suddenly, one of the black crows half-spread its wings and sent a message with a movement that only its companions could understand, and soon the other black crow flew out of the cave.
Jinse flew out of the huge cave with Lu Li, landed steadily and saw the black crow that had retreated to the entrance of the cave.
"That's right. Looks like the other one has gone into hiding."
"There are two black crows?"
"That's right, but there's only one here. It means it's used to confuse the enemy." Jinse looked at the black crow and twitched her lips. "Although there is only one, it is not easy to deal with."
As soon as the silver-white foxfire flashed out in his hand, the black crow had already spread its wings, its neck stretched forward, and a fierce gleam appeared in its jet-black eyes.Jinse smiled and threw out the fox fire with a wave of her hand. The black crow swung its wings violently and threw the fox fire down.But the first wave of foxfire was just a bluff, and then the second wave of foxfire attacked the black crow again. At the moment it swooped for the second time, the nebula in Jinse's hand went from bottom to top, cutting off the black crow. wings.A puff of black smoke rushed out from the wound, and Jinse quickly threw out the fox fire. The silver-white fox fire was entangled with the black smoke, and the black mist swallowed the fox fire in an instant.Although the black crow lost a wing, it didn't seem to have any effect on it.The black mist formed another phantom wing on the black crow's body, and with its movements, it threw out the black mist wrapped in the foxfire forcefully.
Jinse held Xingyun horizontally in front of her body, with the palm of her left hand facing outwards, a silver light flashed in the palm, which seemed to be a word.The silver light expanded rapidly, and instantly opened a net of many silver and white lights in front of Jinse's body.The color of the net is black with dark blue, and those intertwined silvery-white rays of light flashed indistinctly in this deep tone, just like the starry sky at night.
The black mist engulfed in fox fire hit the net, and was absorbed by the net in an instant.There was a red light in the crow's black eyes, and it had already realized the strength of the other party.However, as the information transmitter and greedy recycler, the black crow is doomed to have the biggest difference from other low-level monsters—intelligence.Crows are highly intelligent, they can analyze the battle situation and make correct choices.At this time, the black crow's gaze was on Lu Li who was standing beside him.
Lu Li, who was standing on the sidelines "watching the battle", suddenly frowned. He noticed that someone was looking at him. There was murderous intent in those eyes, but there seemed to be other intentions in them.He lowered his hand, and slipped a bright yellow talisman from his wide sleeve, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Jinse discovered the abnormal behavior of the black crow early in the morning, and held up the tip of Xingyun's sword with the palm of his left hand, and the net was put into the sword body together with the black mist covering the fox fire. Various shades of black smoke.Jinse's eyes followed the black crow that was flying towards Lu Li, but the nebula in her hand was waiting for the best time.
Just as Lu Li expected, the black crow flew towards him.Lu Li's ears moved, his toes subconsciously moved in the opposite direction of the sound, and the talisman in his hand was thrown out at the right time.
The crow flew towards Lu Li, but he didn't expect Lu Li to dodge. He only felt a burning pain on one side of his body.But it didn't stop, but suddenly changed direction in mid-air, and rushed straight to the hole.Just when it was about to fall into the hole, Jinse's nebula just swung down.A black ball broke away from the tip of the sword and hit Crow's back.Following the powerful force of the ball, the black crow fell straight into the passage under the hole.And the several talismans that had been placed in the passage were also activated instantly.
The activated talismans were placed by Lu Li when he entered the tunnel.When Lu Li realized that the target of the black crow was actually the entrance of the cave, he had already activated those talismans.Once these talismans are activated, they will emit golden-red light, and these dazzling lights will instantly wipe out the black crow.
The violent vibration almost caused the entire cave to collapse. Yin Danlu frowned, looked down at the lifeless Chaos, and kicked the fat body with her feet.The sapphire blue bead in his hand has lost its luster, and its color has become somewhat dull.Yin Danlu held the bead tightly, and walked towards the passage that Jinse passed through just now.Suddenly he stopped, and looked back at the corpses still piled up, as well as the huge corpse.He lowered his eyelids and seemed to be thinking about something.Then with a wave of his hand, there was a sea of flames behind him.
Outside the entrance of the cave, Jinse was looking at another black crow flying far away, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Let it go back and report the letter?"
"Someone has to tell Qiongqi what happened." Jinse looked back at Lu Li, "I'm afraid your inaction will be more lively in the future."
"I'm fine. It's just that Meng Yue doesn't like to cause trouble. He may have a lot of complaints."
"That brat doesn't look like a cultivator at all... But speaking of it, neither do you."
"Then what am I like?"
"I don't know, I don't know. In short, you are a mystery to us. Besides, you are still a disciple of Sang Yu."
Jinse shook her head, looking intently at Lu Li's blind eyes.Those eyes are actually very bright, but for some reason they just can't see the world.There is a kind of power in Lu Li's body, this kind of power seems to be very old, Jinse can't find out what it is.But one thing she was sure of was that the mysterious power in Lu Li was well hidden, it seemed that someone deliberately sealed it.And Lu Li himself didn't seem to know anything about it, could it be Sang Yu?Or some other mysterious figure.
"Are you two talking about love?"
"Then why do you return without understanding
