Zhuxian Ertianhuo

A cold chill came from his face, Yan Xiaoan shivered subconsciously, and then woke up from the coma.

A slightly fresh and moist smell floated into his nose first, and the first thing Yan Xiaoan saw when he opened his eyes was that the ground in front of him was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, some of which were still Green in color, some withered and starting to rot slowly.

Raising his head in a daze, he found that he was lying on the ground in a dense forest at some point. The lush canopy of branches and leaves almost completely covered the sky above his head, only a little light shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mist was like smoke. , floating gently in the forest, making this place even more gloomy and mysterious.Around him, there are many roots and branches protruding from the ground like horned dragons, a few ancient vines are entwined among the strange rocks and big trees, the weeds are fresh green, and the moss is green.A few birdsong came from the tops of the high branches from time to time, like whispers or whispers, calling softly, but it was the only sound in the forest.

The chest still hurts, and the internal organs are as if they are on fire. Yan Xiaoan endured the pain and sat up and opened the wet clothes. He looked at the wooden armor tied to his chest. The wooden armor is made of vines soaked in tung oil. Ordinary swords and swords would never leave scars, but now there are some traces of shattering, one can imagine how hard the wolf's impact was.

Faint mist, like smoke and gauze, floats among the plants and trees in the distance, making people unable to see the farther places clearly. There is a fresh and moist smell in the air. Yan Xiaoan stands up with an ancient tree, looks Looking around, there are still a few crystal clear drops of water on the leaves and grass, and the clothes on his body are also wet.It seems that not long ago, there was a rain in this dense forest.

Yan Xiaoan subconsciously reached behind her back, but didn't touch the simple knife.

He looked around nervously, the forest was deep and quiet, everything seemed to reveal a primitive and wild taste, this feeling made Yan Xiaoan's throat a little dry.

At this moment, this quiet and deep forest is already full of danger and fear in his eyes. Based on his understanding of Shiwan Dashan, he has been completely sure that this is the depth of Shiwan Dashan.It is extremely dangerous for an 11-year-old boy to be alone here.

Yan Xiaoan tried hard to recall, after he killed the demon wolf, a tall ghost-like figure suddenly appeared, and then he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was in the depths of Shiwanda Mountain.I don't know how to get here, or how long I have been here, so all of this must be related to that mysterious figure.who is he?where is he?There was no sign of him around.

Yan Xiaoan naturally knows the horror of Shiwan Dashan, but what he is more afraid of now is that mysterious ghost, "The unknown is always more frightening than the known!" Yan Xiaoan only now understood what his uncle said to him talk.Suppressing the fear in my heart, the only thing I can do now is to survive, and then wait for my uncle to save me!

It seems that the trial mission has failed. Although the lone wolf is dead, he will never return on time. It is hard to say whether he will live or die.

Yan Xiaoan leaned against the ancient tree, closed his eyes and panted, calmed himself down as much as possible, then looked inside his internal organs, and found that the pain was still there, but in fact there was no serious problem. It was just that he had just killed the demon wolf before he had time to check his injuries and lost his body. Otherwise, you can judge how long it has passed by comparing the injuries.The forest was foggy, and it was not even possible to determine what time it was.In the past, Yan Xiaoan thought that time would pass slowly so that he could go home earlier, but now he hopes that time has passed for a long time, because the longer time passes, the more likely his uncle will find out that something happened to him, and the chance of his being rescued will increase. point.It's just that in the depths of this vast and vast mountain, with endless mountains, ancient trees, wolves, and monsters, how can uncle find himself?

Yan Xiaoan knew that he must not sit still, not to mention that the tall mysterious ghost might be around and did not go far, so he took a deep breath and took a step forward cautiously.

The deep and soft voice of "Sha" came from under his feet. He looked down and saw that there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground. He didn't know how many years had accumulated in this uninhabited place. He stepped on it like Stepping on the soft cloth, a few dead leaves were turned over, and three or two small black insects crawled out from under the leaves, quickly ran away, and soon burrowed into the leaves next to them.

The sound of rustling footsteps began to resound slowly in the forest. His eyes widened and his whole body tensed up. While walking, he looked around cautiously. Both hands were involuntarily clenched into fists, but he walked about two feet away. , This forest is still silent, the surrounding tall trees are like giants, staring indifferently at the boy who suddenly appeared in this forest.

The mist seemed to have lightened a bit, and it seemed that it was about to disperse.

A wisp of white smoke drifted away in front of him, and suddenly he saw something out of the ordinary. It was not a tree, nor a stone, nor was it the monster he had been afraid of. It looked like a rather huge statue. The remnants, dumped in the dense forest, were covered by layers of weeds and trees.

He walked over slowly, and there was still no accident along the way. When he got closer, he pushed aside the thorns and grass, and stepped over a few small forest stones. He finally saw the broken stone statue that fell on the ground. He couldn't help but took a deep breath.

The object carved on this stone statue is not a common bird, beast or animal, nor is it a common fairy Buddha statue for people to worship. Instead, it is a statue with a hideous appearance and a strange description.At first glance, this statue has ghost horns on its head, fangs glaring at it, and its bloody mouth looks like it is devouring people. Its appearance is also extremely terrifying. It has four heads and eight arms. But a ferocious aura was unexpectedly awe-inspiring, rushing toward his face.

Yan Xiaoan took a breath of cold air, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't know that his face covered with blood stains was more terrifying than this statue, but he suddenly felt that the appearance and outline of this statue seemed quite familiar to him in shock, so he thought about it Suddenly, it occurred to me that this statue was somewhat similar to a dignified statuette in my uncle's room.

When I looked up, I found that this sinister statue was indeed broken. There were many damages on the four heads and eight arms. There were also many cracks in the stone statue itself. Some of them may have lived here before.Although the carving of this stone statue is simple and clumsy, the carvings are vigorous and the appearance is lifelike. Although the brush strokes may not be complicated, it has already made this statue lifelike, and it has a majestic bearing. Although he is still young, he subconsciously feels that he has carved this statue. The stone worker of the stone statue must be a master craftsman.

The stone statue has been exposed to the wind and sun, and has already been cracked all over. Yan Xiaoan reached out to touch it, it was rough and cold.I walked all the way just now, but I didn't see this kind of stone material, and I don't know how those people who carved stone statues in ancient times moved these huge stones or giant statues here?

Suddenly there was a sound of rustling footsteps in the forest, and Yan Xiao quickly turned around, as if facing a formidable enemy.Could it be that there are some powerful monsters?Shiwan Dashan is different from others, this is the lair of monsters, but all monsters must be extremely vicious.

Soon, a tall figure shrouded in black air slowly appeared beside the big tree that seemed to be some distance away from the surrounding trees from far to near.That ghostly person finally appeared, and Yan Xiaoan's heart tightened involuntarily.Immediately rejoicing, in his opinion, the person who came was a cultivator alone, not a ghost, not a monster, so naturally it would not be life and death as soon as they met.But Yan Xiaoan became even more vigilant, he made a tactic with his hands, and stared at the black shadow with his eyes. He would definitely not have good intentions when he kidnapped himself.

The mysterious Taoist was indifferent to Yan Xiaoan's actions, and still stood there, looking at him coldly.Immediately, the dark air covering his whole body also began to dissipate slowly, as if he had drilled back into this body. After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of black air disappeared, in this primitive wild forest , a tall, gray-haired man revealed his figure.

Yan Xiaoan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a step back, but his body was directly on the broken statue. The person in front of him might not be any better than Shura Ligui.

The man under the big tree, tall and square, with thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, seemed to exude a faint power, as if he had once held power, with a solemn and solemn air.

However, on the face that was originally so powerful, in Yan Xiaoan's eyes at this moment, half of the cheeks showed a strange dark red color, which looked ugly and disgusting like smoked pork, and half of the face His muscles seemed to twitch uncontrollably from time to time.

It looks like a yin and yang face, but it is uglier and more terrifying than the yin and yang face.

Yan Xiaoan was used to seeing blood, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of his appearance, but he was really scared, he could feel the terror of that man, he just stood there quietly, his eyes glanced coldly, he was still alone The wolf was three points, and Yan Xiaoan, who was oppressed by the invisible momentum, leaned tightly on the stone statue like a heavy weight.There was a chaotic noise all around, and the birds in the forest flapped their wings and fled.

The man walked over slowly, stepping on the thick layer of fallen leaves in the forest, rustling, and at some point, the once noisy forest became quiet again, only two people, one big and one small, were left slowly. near.

Walking up to Yan Xiaoan, the man glanced at him, expressionless or terrifying without expression, and said in a lifeless and cold tone, "Are you going to die or live?"

"Who are you?"

Staring at the man, he gritted his teeth and said this sentence slowly, but when he said it, he found that his voice had become hoarse at some point. Dreadful characters to deal with.Although he was still fearful in his heart, the expression on his face had calmed down, but his trembling hands tightly clenched and his eyes staring at him with horror seemed to indicate that he was still just a man. child.

The forced calm under suppression and the obvious complicated eyes were all seen by the mysterious man. Looking at the blood-stained boy's face, the man turned a blind eye and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter who I am. If you live, then follow me."

He didn't intend to stay in the slightest, turned around and walked into the depths of the dense forest without looking back at Yan Xiaoan. Yan Xiaoan hesitated at first, but then turned around to look at the dense and deep forest around him. After rushing out of the monster, he finally gritted his teeth and followed.

The mist in the forest gradually dissipated, and the surrounding woods seemed to become clearer. However, other than the trees in the distance, they were still trees, and the end of the forest could not be seen.The terrain along the way is not flat, there are ups and downs, and there are boulders and fallen trees. The two of them even waded through a forest stream.

Along the way, the mysterious man walked as if walking on flat ground, and Yan Xiaoan suffered a lot in comparison.He has not yet grown up, and he has been in danger again and again, his physical strength has been exhausted, his stomach is empty, he groped around, and he did not know where his dry food was left. Word.

The people of the five tribes are self-reliant and have enough food and clothing, and Yan Xiaoan has never been hungry, otherwise, he can judge how long he has been away from this point.

Yan Xiaoan was already gradually unable to keep up with his footsteps, the mysterious man did not fly with a sword so he could keep up with him.But Yan Xiaoan only felt that he was sweating profusely, as if he was in a steamer, his eyes were gradually blurred, and the sound of birdsong and wind around him seemed to be in the sky, and he staggered and fell to the ground, and it seemed to be difficult again.

It was wet and cold under her body, Yan Xiaoan wanted to lay down here and sleep beautifully, time seemed to slow down, Yan Xiaoan was breathing slowly, and was about to fall into a dream in a daze, but suddenly the words of uncle echoed in her heart The words: "The weak are not qualified to know the truth!" Such as Jiuding Dalu, beat him hard in the heart, constantly agitating.

Yan Xiaoan's body shook violently, and suddenly a strong force surged up, if he couldn't do this, how could he be a strong person?Clenching his hands, gritting his teeth, he stood up straight, the mysterious Taoist in front of him did not leave, and he was looking back at Yan Xiaoan from a distance, his eyes were still as cold as frost, without a trace of pity, as if in the distance. Wait for Yan Xiaoan to follow.Yan Xiaoan looked back fiercely, and didn't say a word of begging for mercy to the mysterious Taoist. He just stumbled, gritted his teeth, panted heavily, and caught up with the Taoist, walking through the virgin forest.

The faint birdsong seemed to be calling somewhere above the head, the light shone through the gaps in the treetops and branches, and the road under the feet became black and white.Ancient vines and old trees, moss and green grass, layer upon layer seem endless.

After walking like this for a long time, Yan Xiaoan jumped off a big rock, feeling very tired, but the mysterious man in front was still walking forward without any haste, without any sign of stopping to rest.Leaning against the rock for a while, Yan Xiaoan still gritted his teeth and stood up, and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye, and he pushed aside a dense branch next to him. There is also a huge broken stone statue on the ground in this place, but it seems that this stone statue looks more damaged, and some hands and feet have fallen from the stone statue.

In such a dazed moment, the mysterious man in front seemed to have gone far away, and his figure was about to disappear behind the trees in the dense forest. Yan Xiaoan woke up suddenly and hurried to catch up.

In this way, the two walked back and forth in the forest, and the mysterious man kept his pace all the time. After walking for about a stick of incense, Yan Xiaoan really felt that he was going to be unable to hold on.Sweating profusely, even washed away a lot of the monster blood stains on his face. He faintly felt that some little gold stars began to twinkle and dance in front of his eyes, and his feet were extremely heavy as if filled with lead. At that moment, the body of the man in front suddenly stopped, and finally stopped.

Yan Xiaoan couldn't wait to find a big tree and sat down by leaning against it. He gasped for breath, and he recovered after a while. Then he felt that his mouth was dry, and when he looked up, he saw that the mysterious man was standing still. In front of a statue, unsurprisingly, it was also the one seen along the way. In fact, apart from the two vicious statues seen at first, the statue that was dumped in the forest by Yan Xiaoan along the way was also There were three of them, all of which looked about the same, which made him wonder when he was tired, what kind of place it was, and who could have carved so many strange stone statues in this primitive place a long time ago.

However, the stone statue in front of the mysterious man at this moment is obviously different from the previous stone statue. This stone statue is smaller than those and it is standing.But to say it is small is relatively speaking. The tall mysterious man is still much shorter in front of this stone statue. As for the appearance of the stone statue, it is exactly the same as before, with a ferocious appearance.The more Yan Xiaoan looked at it, the more she thought of that statuette of her uncle.

When Yan Xiaoan glanced over the mysterious man's face, he was startled suddenly, and saw that although the mysterious man was looking at the stone statue, there was an undisguised disgust in his eyes.

On the right side of the stone statue, if you look carefully, there is actually a faint path leading to the depths of the dense forest, but looking along the end of the road, you can see the forest in front of you is deep and silent, and somehow there is a place far away that rises faintly. A faint pinkish gas, somewhat reminiscent of forest mist seen in the morning.

Yan Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. If he guessed correctly, it might be the poisonous miasma that everyone in Qilidong talked about. It is said that there are such poisonous miasmas everywhere in the Shiwanda Mountains. The poisonous miasma, regardless of the birds, beasts, humans, or even powerful monsters, once they encounter this pink gas, they will often fester and die in pain, and there is almost no cure for it.Although he is confident that his medical skills can be cured or prevented, he has nothing in this [-] mountains, and the Taoism is not profound enough, so he is afraid of avoiding these poisonous miasmas.

Shouldn't it be going to that side?The mysterious man stared at the standing stone statue for a while, without turning his head, he just said coldly: "Let's go." He lifted his feet and walked, just looking at the direction he was walking, but it was towards the left of the stone statue. walk sideways.Yan Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, cheered up his tired spirit, and followed.

After walking this distance, for some reason, I never saw those stone statues dumped in the forest. Similarly, the monsters never appeared, but the road under my feet became more and more difficult.There are more and more trees and thorns, and some places are difficult to pass. Fortunately, the mysterious man in front of him has powerful supernatural powers, and he cleared a way with two strokes, saving Yan Xiaoan a lot. Shao Jin, otherwise, even if the young man didn't die of exhaustion on this road, he would die in the hands of that Taoist because of his dying struggle.

After walking for another half a stick of incense like this, the eyes of the two of them suddenly lit up, the terrain spread out flat, and there appeared a forest glade about ten feet away. The wide and large cave, with that cave as the center, has only weeds in the surrounding area of ​​seven or eight feet, but not a single tree.

A trace of stench seemed to faintly float out of that huge cave.Yan Xiaoan felt something in his heart, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at the mysterious man, and stared at the cave again.

"It's right here." The mysterious man didn't mean to pretend to be a ghost, and said directly to Yan Xiao'an: "There is a powerful monster in this cave. I want to kill it, but it is cunning by nature and refuses to come out of the cave easily. , I want you to help me."

He turned his head, looked at Yan Xiaoan with a cold expression, and said coldly: "If you want to live, just do as I say."

Yan Xiaoan gasped, looked at the cave, gritted his teeth and said, "What's in the cave?"

"A 'Golden Flower Ancient Python'," the mysterious man said indifferently, as if he was talking about something unimportant, "This monster has cultivated for many years and has already understood human nature. Holding the pass, one step further can shed its skin and be reborn. Dao is advancing, so it is easy to refuse to come out of the cave. This cave is its lair, and this monster is covered with snake scales. It is too dangerous to enter the cave, and the only way to lure it Come out, first hurt its seven-inch snake heart, disperse the monster beast, then the whole body of the monster scales will lose their monster power, and they will collapse as usual, only in this way can we kill it."

He glanced at Yan Xiaoan and said, "You are the bait."

Yan Xiaoan only felt a buzzing in her ears, she really wanted me to die!The first reaction in his heart was to fight this man desperately, but in the end, after all, he could only stare at the mysterious man with great resentment, unable to utter a word.In front of this man, even if he is really desperate, what is the difference between him and an ant?

The mysterious man was completely indifferent to the young man's hateful gaze, and took out a copper plate from his body, inlaid with silver threads, carved some strange runes, and threw it to Yan Xiao'an.

Yan Xiaoan took it in a daze, feeling that the hand was quite heavy, and heard the man say in his ear: "Hold this magic weapon in your hand, and when the monster rushes out later, you will hold it above your head and use your spiritual power. Naturally, it can withstand for a while. Remember, you can only stand where you are, and you are not allowed to run away, otherwise the ancient golden flower python moves as fast as lightning. When you lean out of the cave, I can hit it from the side and take its life. Do you understand?"

People are for knives, I am for fish, Yan Xiaoan thought bitterly, it doesn't feel good to be weak.But now he has no choice, he took a careful look at the magic weapon in his hand, stroked its rough lines with his delicate hands, then glanced at the mysterious Taoist beside him from the corner of his eye, sighed softly, and had to Bite the bullet and took a step forward, looking at his expression, but he still didn't look like a prisoner of war dying in a daze.

Qilidong

Yan Hui was fidgeting in the stone house, knocking on the table with his hands, frowning. "It's almost five days, it's time to come back, a monster wolf can't trouble him."

Immediately, he pushed the door open and looked towards the south of Shiwan Dashan, his eyes flickered full of worry, as if he could penetrate thousands of miles.
