Chapter 660 Yeyu Mountain Temple (4400, detailed thoughts, updates are a bit slow)
Chenli, the southern wilderness border, mountains, forests and hills.
The night is rainy and cold, the wind is desolate and the sea of trees is swaying.
A scattered night rain enveloped the sky and the earth as the dark night fell. The outline of the distant mountains was looming under the light of thunder, like a giant standing silently at the end of the sky. It was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
The ruined temple in the mountain forest, the firelight trembled slightly, and the red light was like dim blood, filling the entire inner hall.
In the temple, there were warriors, businessmen, old men, and doctors, four people with different clothes and different body shapes, but they had the same look on their face. They were either holding weapons or huddled in their coats, looking at them warily. The other three people sat and lay silently beside the swaying bonfire.
Outside the temple, many corpses were scattered. Several corpses should have died recently. They were disemboweled, their internal organs were devoured by wild beasts, and there were huge demon teeth marks on their skulls, and they were even sucked. marrow.
There were even remains of children among them, but there were not many bones left, only heads rolled aside.
In this wilderness and forest where monsters are infested, all lives are in danger, and the only one you can trust is yourself.
Click.
The sound of heavy iron boots crushing branches was heard.
A little fire flickered in the dark rainy night.
The four of them raised their heads together, looked outside the temple, and then looked at each other warily.
A figure holding a rainproof torch was walking slowly from the late night mountain forest.
This is a young warrior, tall and smooth, like a majestic tiger and leopard. His face is covered by a bamboo hat, but look at the raincoat draped with iron sheets and hanging around his waist. The long sword and light crossbow in his hand, as well as the bleeding head in his hand, were enough to illustrate his danger.
White mist-like hot air was exhaled from his mouth, lingering around his side, turning into a long-lasting white mist.
The surging Qi and blood flowed, making the slightly cold rainy night seem to be heated up, and a dangerous sting came from the stiff body, seeming to warn of the existence of the crisis.
The bamboo hat was slightly raised, revealing a scarlet eye, the pupil reflecting the firelight in the temple.
He came closer, and the cold chill and oppression came together.
“Monster!”
When the doctor saw this scene, he immediately screamed and struggled to get up to retreat. However, he stumbled and stepped on his own blanket, and he was about to fall into the bonfire.
And at this critical moment, the young warrior curled his fingers and punched with invisible energy, which made the doctor lean back and stagger back until he hit the wall. Ouch, he sat on the ground along the wall.
“It’s not a demon.”
Putting down his hand, the young warrior walked into the ruined temple carrying the human head. At this moment, he could see clearly that the human head in his hand had become deformed and demonized, and the black hair on his head had changed. It became a sharp blade, its eyes were sunken, and the spine under its neck turned into a centipede-like insect. Although it was dead, it was still twitching.
“Traveling Shang Qiao Xuan.”
He said: "I met a monster in the wild and tried my best to defeat it. I vaguely remembered that there was a reward for killing the monster recently, so I took it with me to avoid being resurrected midway."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood the warrior."
The doctor also came to his senses. He was a thin man. He bowed and apologized to Qiao Xuan: "I have been walking outside recently and have been frightened by demons. Some demons have stunned me. Your Excellency, there are many, do not Don't blame me..."
On the other side, the old man also lowered his head and said hoarsely: "The people who will stay here are the ones who can't enter the city... Hehe, the city is preparing a group of people recently. I am afraid that demons will get in when I bring very important supplies back to the sect, but it will also make us the prey of demons.”
“Some disciples of the sect have indeed reminded me not to enter during this period. City.”
Qiao Xuan found a seat in front of the campfire and sat down cross-legged. He put the demon's head aside, leaned forward, reached out to light the fire, and said in a natural manner: "But I didn't expect that the matter was so serious. There were so many demons outside the city - isn't the frost calamity over? Why are there more demons than before the calamity? ?”
No one answered this question.
"Newcomer, you didn't just kill demons, right?"
After a while, the warrior sitting on the right side turned his head, his voice was rough, his eyes were like daggers, Staring straight at Qiao Xuan: "To be honest, how many people did you kill just now? The smell of blood is so strong on you."
"Ha."
Qiao Xuan was also happy and fearless, and looked at the ferocious man with tangled beard and hair, sitting with a knife in his hand: "So what if you kill someone? What I said, brother, I thought it was a joke made by my three-year-old child."
He stared closely at the warrior with a fierce expression and sneered: "Look at the world, the frost tribulation is clearly over, but it's still so bad! It doesn't snow in the sky, and there are green grass on the ground. I thought the days of peace have come, So I went out on a business trip with my brothers. What was the result? "
"During the journey, did the wars stop? I walked through the South Road and saw hundreds of tribes fighting in the mountains in the distance, and the armies of various armies were confronting each other in the fortress. , King Jialuo and King Juguang faced off from a distance, and there were still people in the Juguang tribe who rebelled, so they had to take a detour. "
"In the villages around Dongye, the ice on the battlefield where they fought against Dachen melted. Bodies rotted, plagues appeared, and entire villages died. "
"In addition to demons, there were also many dead souls on the road. The damage from the frost was so severe that many small towns lost their cultivated land. There is obviously a good season, the branches are full of fruits, the land is fertile, and seeds can sprout even if they are scattered randomly, but there is still not enough food, and some people starve to death in this season that should be a good harvest.”
As he said this, the young warrior's words became deeper and deeper, and his pressure became more and more powerful. He laughed deeply and said: "Even if there are no demons and natural disasters, people will still fight each other. Even if the land is fertile and no one grows food, there will still be people. I want to starve to death in the streets."
"This is the way the world is, where humans and monsters are the same. What's the difference? If I kill a few more horse bandits who dare to rob me, will it hinder my brother?"
"Or..."
Qiao Xuan's words got worse. Be aggressive: "Are you one of the horse bandits?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The ferocious warrior's face changed. He looked around nervously at everyone present, and his words immediately turned into a slap in the face: "We have already settled it, Dachen's side is really sad. What you said is that you don't love Chen." Li, is he a spy from Dachen? "
"Indeed."
But without thinking, Qiao Xuan nodded and followed his words: "Dachen is also sad. I like to tell the truth. What the people of Dachen dare not say, we Chenli people dare to say. "
"Is their little emperor really not understanding or pretending not to understand? Their northern Xinjiang has withdrawn so many gods. Isn't the purpose of the military formation just to let the officials and warriors below have a feast? A group of insects are racing to enclose the land on the border, turning public land into private areas. Even if the divine soldiers come back in the future, the chamber of commerce can continue to exist as a The Emperor of the Frontier."
"Compared with them, ours is really good."
As soon as these words came out, no one doubted that Qiao Xuan was from Dachen. The middle-aged businessman who had been silent on the side couldn't help but sigh: "In such troubled times, even if there are no demons and demons, people will not have enough to eat. How can you not kill someone? You really misunderstood the warrior."
"You are indeed. You misunderstood me, and I also misunderstood everyone.”
Qiao Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, his sharp eyes swept across the four people present, and he said with a smile: “Just now I saw the demon raging outside the temple. Traces, so many people, their brains and bone marrow have been sucked dry, it or they are really hungry, enough for one mouthful Are you going to eat up a whole team of people in anger?”
“I thought there were demons lurking in the temple, but now it seems that everyone is a good person.” “Hahaha” everyone laughed dryly, and Qiao. Xuan Ye also laughed and said: "I was once a traveling merchant, and now I am a demon slayer. May I ask your identity? Why are you resting here?"
"I am also a businessman." The frightened businessman said: "I originally wanted to go to the Dachen border to do some business with a cart of fragrant wood, but I was attacked by demons on the way. The team was scattered, and in panic, they had no choice but to hide in the temple.”
"The Sa family is also a demon slayer." The ferocious warrior took a sip of water, and his eyes were still scanning the people present: "To be honest, brother, I have been chasing an ogre demon all the way here. It is cruel and cunning, and can hide in people's hearts. There was a slight misunderstanding between humans just now, don’t blame me, brother.”
"I, I am...a doctor from the nearby Liujia Village." The thin doctor said timidly: "There are children in the village who are sick and need medicine. I was planning to go to the city to buy medicine, but because of that... The anti-treachery and evil operation cannot enter the city. There are traitors and spies in the city. There are very important things to transport, so I have no choice but to try my luck in other towns, but I can’t wander around at night, so I’ll rest here..."
"Hey, a little bit of dust in the sect, It’s like a mountain for ordinary people.”
Old. The man laughed strangely: "Old man, I am a survivor of that diseased village. The whole village is dead. God won't accept me. Good times are coming, but the Mingjing Sect is still engaging in infighting and won't let everyone Stay alive.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Xuan took a deep breath and said with almost admiration: "I can see that each of you has unique skills."
"To tell you the truth." He smiled and said: "I am exactly the same. I came after following the traces of demons, and unexpectedly found that these demons may have human helpers - and now I can guarantee it."
"The demons and their helpers are in this temple."
Boom.
A bolt of thunder streaked across the sky, and pale light shone through the small temple, as well as the four people who looked shocked, frightened, angry, and gloomy.
"What do you mean!"
The demon-slaying warrior stood up in an instant. His hand was already on the handle of the knife at some point, and in an instant he pulled out a cold and cold sword light: "I am a slayer. Demon warrior Kong Zuo, are you saying that I don’t see anyone who is a demon? Little kid, don’t think that you dare to talk nonsense just because you have killed a few ghosts. If you dare to do anything, I will move your head immediately!”
His knife was pointed directly at Qiao Xuan. Although he looked violent and unstable, he actually held the knife very steadily. When he drew the knife out of its sheath, he could even faintly hear the roar of a tiger, which is enough to prove that this The strength of this warrior is really a good one.
Not only that, after the knife was pulled out, a terrifying evil force suddenly emerged around the entire mountain temple, like a military battle. The broken weapons in the corpses shook slightly, as if they were going to destroy this evil force. It was smashed into pieces, and all the remaining essence of it was dedicated to that sharp sword!
Martial artillery! In this small ruined temple, there is actually a peak internally strong warrior holding a martial art weapon!
"Are you finished?"
But the moment the demon-slaying warrior finished speaking, Qiao Xuan stood up abruptly.
At the moment when the demon-slaying warrior did not react, a sword light was like a white rainbow, shattering the white mist of breath, and like a thunderbolt, it pierced the long sword in the warrior's hand, knocking it away, and then a The sword energy stabbed straight forward——
It passed through the neck of the shocked and angry demon-slaying warrior, and stabbed directly into the neck of the doctor who had unknowingly snuck around and was about to jump out of the window to escape!
Without any time to react, the doctor's neck was cut off immediately, and the smelly blood spurted out from the seemingly thin body. It actually sprayed directly to the top of the temple, causing the blood to rain like rain, dripping towards the temple. Fall down.
This sword was like thunder from the sky, falling from the top of the sky. It was domineering and majestic, and contained extremely violent killing intent.
But even so, the doctor who was struck by the sword and whose head was missing was not dead yet. The head was wailing and screaming, but spider-like joints grew from the severed wound, rapidly. Scratching and crawling on the ground, as if trying to escape.
“What?!”
The demon-slaying warrior was stunned. He thought he was dead, but Qiao Xuan crossed him and inserted his sword into the head of the doctor who turned into a spider. superior.
“You guy!”
Qiao Xuanduan shouted: "The corpses outside are wearing the same clothes as you, and the corpses of those children are the sick children you mentioned. They must have been eaten by you!"
"You You just released the demonic energy and enveloped the surrounding area. Your next step is to eat several other Personally?"
"The smell of blood is much stronger on you than on me!"
The businessman screamed, the old man looked at him coldly, and the demon-slaying warrior's face turned the color of pig's liver. He didn't dare to pick up the knife, so he turned around and looked at the doctor's head, which was still struggling and did not die immediately.
“I, I don’t want to either…”
Bloody tears flowed from the eyes of the demonized doctor, and he screamed and cried: "I brought them out because I really wanted to find medicine to cure them... but I couldn't buy medicine, I couldn't buy it, they They will definitely die, they will die! I really want to save them!"
"If they die, I will be finished, hehe... I will be insulted, ridiculed, and beaten by others when I return to the village. Look down on me forever I can't hold my head up... I originally wanted to protect them and cure them... But instead of dying of illness, it would be better for me to kill them. Just call them monsters, and it's the monsters that kill them!"
As he said this, his head became more and more ferocious, and the fangs and hair in his mouth began to become deformed: "I was obsessed, and with just a thought..."
I fell.
The doctor's head transformed into a complete monster, and Qiao Xuan stirred with his sword, completely shattering his skull.
At this moment, the doctor's body also began to undergo violent changes. After losing his head, ferocious sarcomas with childlike faces bulged on its back. It let out a sad and strange laugh, but before it could complete its transformation, Qiao Xuan Another palm blast came out.
This palm is extremely hot, and the blood is as vital as an oven. It stirs the surrounding air like a red-hot iron, forming a handprint as big as a human body.
With a palm blast, the monster's body was immediately shattered into pieces. It immediately exploded and scattered without even making a single move!
“It’s actually a demon!”
Seeing Qiao Xuan kill a demon so neatly, the businessman on the side exclaimed: “You, Mr. Qiao, are you a martial artist? ? ”
The demon-slaying warrior on the side silently picked up the sword and sheathed it. He stood aside without saying a word, as if he was a student who had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment, or like a gambler who admitted defeat and was waiting for the verdict.
The old man's expression also became serious: "Such a young martial artist, what are you..."
"Stop."
And 'Qiao Xuan' raised his head Hand: "Stop being so close, flattering and talking trash. None of you here are." It’s so annoying. I don’t believe that I can tell that this person is possessed by the devil, and I don’t believe that I’m the only one who pretended to be a fake person.”
“Now, there must be smart people among you who can tell that I am. Who knows, so let’s open the skylight and speak frankly.”
An Jing squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone present. He said leisurely: "The three of you are all Dachen and Taiming..."
"Even, are you spies of Shangxuan Sect?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people changed.
