Qizhou

The lines on Zhu Fuxue's fingertips were very thin, and they shone blue in the moonlight.The newly dyed silk thread still smelled of wormwood.She gritted her teeth, blood rushing straight to the top of her head.His fingertips were dyed, and he smelled wormwood.The thin white knuckles were scratched, and the thread in his hand was also dyed reddish.

Ze Lao froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.He smiled, and the skin on his neck also brushed against the silk thread because of the trembling, and small black smoke came out one after another.Zhu Fuxue didn't dare to let go, so she could only pull harder, and shouted sharply: "Be honest! Did you kill those lost people recorded in the village chronicle? And the people in the town below the mountain, they ..."

"That's a good question." Ze Lao seemed not to notice the pain in his neck, he laughed wantonly, his round eyes slanted back, and grinned, "Why is such a flowery little girl so fierce? After so many years of coming and going in the village, so many people have died and lived, which one is related to you? Is your sweetheart?"

"Everyone in Zhuxi Village is related to me!" Zhu Fuxue was furious, and she exerted more force on her hand, "Say it!"

Ze Lao was strangled back a little by her, but there was no fear on his face, instead he smiled fiercely, slowly raised his hand, and pointed to the pool on the side.Under the moonlight, nearly a hundred toads covered in lumps stared at them, buried half of their bodies under the water, and stared at them motionlessly.

Ze Lao smiled and said, "Look at them, do they look good?"

Zhufuxue felt nauseous in her stomach and began to tremble all over.

The village chronicles of Zhuxi Village clearly recorded how many people in Zhuxi Village were missing, how many things were lost, and how many people disappeared on the side of the mountain for no reason in the past few hundred years.And these all happened before the closure of the mountain in the year of resignation.It's just that the people at that time didn't know that there was such a big crisis hidden in the back mountain, it was only thought that it was caused by wild beasts in the mountain, and no one asked the bottom line.

But now, Ze Lao actually pointed to the toad in the pool, and told him that all these dead people had turned into motionless toads in the pool, and were trapped with him in the back mountain every day. Not even a chance to step into reincarnation.

Thinking of this, Ze Lao seemed to be able to see through her mind, and suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was sharp and piercing, like a knife scraping a bone.And when he smiled, the toads in the pool suddenly opened their mouths one by one, their throats trembled, and they made a cooing sound. Hairy.And at the moment when those cries gradually became uniform and became the same voice, a painful sound like human wailing erupted from their mouths.

It's like a dying cry for help, more like a roar of rage.These voices echoed in the valley, mixed with Zelao's laughter, making people feel a sense of fear that "the place is not the world".

Zhu Fuxue was so frightened by the sound that she trembled all over, she tightly tightened the silk thread in her hand, and cried, "Go to hell!"

With force on her knuckles, she coiled the wormwood thread into a tightly connected circle.She gritted her teeth. This time, she not only wanted to settle all the past enmities in Zhuxi Village, but also opened up a way for the future of Zhuxi Village.

Zhu Fuxue clenched the thread in her hand and pulled it hard, as if she wanted to strangle a towering tree.

But all of this was gone in the next second.

"Miss Bamboo! Be careful!" Zhu Fuxue opened her eyes that were closed because she was too scared, and the figure that was close at hand had disappeared. In her hand, there was only a piece of green silk thread stained with blood.Zhu Fuxue was stunned for a moment, then raised her head suddenly, and the two people in the distance were rushing towards her, and their eyes were fixed on behind her.

Behind her... Zhu Fuxue hurriedly turned her head, but she was still a step too late.

There was a sneer from behind, and then, a cold hand pinched the back of her neck, and then her legs left the ground.Zelao was able to walk behind her in an instant!Zhu Fuxue felt bad, so she hurriedly struggled, but the hand that was holding her was many times stronger than her, just squeezed it hard, and she let out a muffled groan in pain, and stared at her eyes.

"The good things we both said before, we will take it easy in a while." Ze Lao leaned closer to her ear, and the stench in his mouth could not be concealed.As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even give Zhu Fuxue a chance to refute.With a flick of that arm, he threw the skinny girl aside like throwing away a piece of bark.

Zhufuxue's slender figure slammed into the rocks, and before she even had time to cry out in pain, she was completely silent.

Human beings are such fragile existences that cannot be touched or frightened, and a slight fluctuation can kill them.A few traces of unnecessary sympathy and pity arose in Ze Lao's heart, but this pity was quickly washed away by the battle between him and the two in front of him.

Ci Nian held Hong Xia and ran ahead.The sword's edge stabs faster than lightning.With a horizontal bamboo stick, Zelao firmly received his move, and the two of them bounced off again.Ze Lao smiled and said, "After so many years, are you willing to let me out?"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Ci Nian spat, raised his sword and was about to strike.

Zelao didn't take the initiative to attack, but just dealt with Ci Nian, Xun Xun said: "You are boring, we are the same kind. Don't forget how miserable you were when you first arrived at Zhuxi Mountain. I couldn't move on the ground for several months, if it wasn't for the fact that we are both monsters, I would have dug out your pill and ate it..."

"Get out." As the sword light flickered, there were several more sword clashes. Ci Nian was not willing to listen to his nonsense at all, but Zelao never stopped talking.Overcast clouds floated in, gradually obscuring the moonlight.By the Zhuqing Lake in the back mountain, two shadows fought inextricably.

"I said, when did you get involved with Taoist priests? Just like you, you still want to cultivate immortals?" Ze Lao took another move, and then he kicked his leg in the gap of Ci Nian, and Ci Nian responded Very quickly, he dodged his attack with a dodge, returned a slash, and said impatiently: "What does it have to do with you?!"

Ze Lao wondered: "It has nothing to do with me? You imprisoned me in the back mountain for so many years, and then said that it has nothing to do with me? You are the wise and great co-author, and I deserve to be locked up by you?"

"If you touch people in Zhuxi Village, I have to lock you up. How many times do I need to explain to you?" Ci Nian clicked his tongue, and suddenly stabbed Hongxia obliquely in his hand.Ze Lao dodged sideways, but found that the red light was not pointing at him, but flew backwards by rubbing his head.

Ze Lao felt bad, so he hurriedly turned his head, the stinky Taoist priest who had come with Ci Nian slipped behind him unknowingly, and the Zhu Fuxue who fell on the side of the stone just now had long since disappeared.When He Qizhou saw him turn his head back, he even greeted him in a friendly way: "Isn't he the Immortal Zelao? I've admired him for a long time."

"Oh, you're also called Daxian? The last one called Daxian wanted to strangle me with a little wormwood, what about you? A little broken Taoist priest, what do you want to do?"

He Qizhou caught the flying Hong Xia, flicked the blade of the sword lightly, and killed the general with a touch of his toe. The sword was more ruthless than Ci Nian, but in the shadow of the sword, he still managed to find time, and smiled at Ze Lao: "Me? Of course I'm here to beat you."

Ze Lao hurriedly dealt with it, holding the bamboo stick in his hand at an angle, and focused all his attention on He Qizhou.He took advantage of the gap to catch his breath, twisted the corners of his mouth, and smiled even uglier: "It's a joke, it's up to you..."

But before he could finish the second half of his sentence, he had already been punched back in the stomach.The one who hit him was not He Qizhou who was fighting with him standing behind him, but Chi Nian who was right in front of him.How could he have forgotten!When the fox beat him hundreds of years ago, he never used a sword.

The field of vision was red, and Ze Lao turned his head abruptly, his eyes were full of the green eyes of Ci Nian.The next moment, the two fought together again, and they couldn't tell the difference for a while.Ci Nian's sharp fingertips popped out like steel blades, and he grabbed Zelao's face unceremoniously. Anyway, this monster was born ugly, and it doesn't matter if it looks ugly or not.

After several rounds, Ci Nian gradually gained the upper hand.Foxes are terrestrial animals, so they are naturally much more flexible on shore than aquatic Zelao.Seeing Ci Nian exerting force on his back and jumping up, Ze Lao hurriedly raised his head and raised his hands to block, but he didn't expect that the fox moved faster than him, the pretend attack was just a cover-up, the next second, Ci Nian One curled up and kicked his undefended lower body, kicking him off his back.

The sturdy body fell straight to the ground, and dirt splashed around Zelao's side.With a muffled snort, he hurried back to his senses, but was knocked to the ground by a more dexterous Ci Nian who fell from the sky.Ci Nian was condescending, and spat: "Trash."

After saying that, a white hand with sharp claws stabbed fiercely towards his face.

Zelao was firmly pressed to the ground, and he was still able to dodge his head when Ci Nian's hand stabbed at him, but this dodge could not completely spare him, the sharp claws were still sticking to the skin on the side of his neck, ruthlessly A bloody mouth was drawn fiercely, and the rushing air wave splashed a layer of waves on the stacked yellow leaves on the ground.

No matter how dark-hearted this monster is, it can drip red blood after taking human form.Ci Nian glanced at the scarlet fingertips, without even raising his hand, and immediately launched another attack, this time, he still aimed at Zelao's neck.With sharp claws like knives, he wished he could cut off the monster's head in an instant.

But this time, his attack was in vain.Because those who were pressed to the ground by him were empty from the neck up, and had no head.Through the cut, you can see the piles of fallen leaves pressed by the body, and a large splash of blood.

Ci Nian was stunned for a moment, but his movements were extremely fast. He turned his head without even thinking about it, and slapped his backhand like a slap in the face. This reaction was faster than thinking, and he hit another hard hit.Repeating the old trick, Zelao was right behind him!No matter when this person was beaten up, he always looked sticky and slippery, as if covered with a layer of pulp that could never be washed off, it was so disgusting!

And this slap slapped Ze Lao's entire body into the air. He flew high, then fell heavily, and crashed into the pool with a bang, startling the toad descendants in the pool to scream.The next second, the toads in the pool were blasted ashore by a surge of torrents. They were lifted high by the wind and waves, and then fell down like rain.

It's just that this rain has nothing to do with any autumn, it is only full of bloody smell overflowing Zhuxi Mountain.

The toads stared at the round eyes, kicked up their strong hind legs, and rushed towards the year of the shore.The one in the lead opened its mouth suddenly, and spit out a cloud of gray-black mucus from its mouth, and the mucus headed towards Ci Nian's head.Chi Nian was startled, and quickly dodged, the mucus brushed against his drooping ears, and sprayed on a withered and yellow bamboo behind him.Looking back at Ci Nian, the thing corroded the skin of the bamboo until it bubbled, and a foul smell came out, and it went straight into people's noses.

"Ugh..." Ci Nian's face was all wrinkled together, but he had no time to comment on how disgusting this broken move was. In the pool behind him, there were overwhelming toads running towards him, trying to drain the accumulated amount in his mouth. The old man spat all over his face.

The sword in his hand was given to He Qizhou. At this moment, he could only fold the bamboo on the side as a weapon.Ci Nian doesn't know how to use sticks, but it's not a big problem to dance around twice.If the east comes, hit the east; if the west comes, hit the west.For a moment, none of these nearly a hundred huge toads could get close to him.

But this is not something that a few toads can solve.Zelao hid in the pond, he didn't know when he would suddenly appear!Ci Nian's nerves were always tense, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.In this thing's territory, even the plants and trees around him have to be on guard at all times.Because he doesn't know when he will appear by his side, the method of assassinating people is only dirtier, not the dirtiest.

"Are you alright?" The room was in full swing, this toad flew out, and that one jumped in again, and Ci Nian finally found some free time, and roared in the direction of He Qizhou.The man was on the other side of the Zhuqing Lake, and there were already several green bamboos stacked beside him. He was also waving his sword, looking for the next bamboo of suitable length and size.Ci Nian didn't dare to be distracted, but he had to urge a few words: "Hong Xia is such a good sword, you have used it blindly! Be careful that it gets angry, and it will ignore you from now on!"

"Persist for a while longer!" He Qizhou was not idle either. He concentrated his energy and swung a sword, cutting off a bamboo in the distance. Shave off the excess branches, a good sword should not be used like this, but at this time only it can be used, and only it can be used well.After He Qizhou was busy for a while, he looked back and said, "Are you hiding in the water again?"

Ci Nian yelled: "Counsel! Trash! Smelly toad! Get out and single out!"

He Qizhou smiled, and was just about to praise a few words, but he caught a glimpse of two boa constrictor-like streams of water rushing out of the pool.This ghost thing really has a back trick!He Qizhou was startled, and hurriedly swung his sword. The sword energy pierced through the faint water mist, and stabbed at the snake-like thing: "Be careful where you step!"

But still a step too late.

Chi Nian was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, but his ankle was already entangled by the thing swimming out of the water.He gritted his teeth, swung the bamboo stick, and slapped the toad closest to him to death on the side rocks, but the entanglement of his feet was too strong, which made him lose his balance.

Ci Nian tilted his body and fell down. He kicked his legs suddenly and shouted: "I'm fine! Hurry up!"

But the water flow was not willing to stop here, the water flow became tighter and tighter, and it hurt his ankle.Ci Nian instantly understood the purpose of this thing... Ze Lao knew that he was afraid of water!Ci Nian bent his fingers, struggled to turn over, grabbed the mud on the bank, and said through gritted teeth, "How long will it take for that piece of shit to take shape!"

He Qizhou was in a dilemma, he gritted his teeth, and swung a sword at that thing again, but the sharp sword light couldn't cut off the water flow, after hearing Ci Nian's words, he hurriedly replied: "There is still a while !"

"How long is it?" Ci Nian took a sharp breath, dragged his body back, and he dug out two deep marks on the muddy ground.

He Qizhou made quick calculations, and shouted back across the pool: "Half a quarter of an hour!"

He was pulled back violently for quite a while, and Ci Nian scratched out cracks in the muddy ground in front of him. The veins on his forehead popped out. He took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, "The Art of Avoiding Water! Half a quarter of an hour! You have to hurry up!" Come on!" After saying that, he closed his eyes, let go of his hand suddenly, and was dragged into the deep pool by the current.

There was the sound of falling into the water behind him, followed by a burst of delighted frogs.He Qizhou frowned and swung his sword violently. A row of green bamboos fell down in the red light.

Half a quarter of an hour, starting from this second.
