The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

With the light touch of gold, the wooden door slid open silently in front of them, as if they had suddenly lost their supporting power, and they only felt that they were falling heavily, as if falling from a high cliff into an abyss. , but in fact, it was only a moment before their feet stepped on solid ground.The feeling of falling was profound but too short. For a moment, no one knew whether he had really fallen from a height, or if he just woke up from a dream, and the wooden door and the ladder disappeared without a trace.At this moment, several people were standing still in a soft light, and there was also a sky above their heads, and there was a small full moon in the sky, exuding a faint silver glow.The moon seems to be far away, but the light is very bright. The world in this bright moon is also the same night, but it is more beautiful and peaceful than Wushan's night, revealing a faint mysterious atmosphere.

Jin Zi was not aware of her surroundings like other people. She didn't know whether she was under the control of Luo Jie's medicine or the spell of the great wizard. She just walked in a certain direction along the tree-lined path under her feet. Ji Xiaocai and the others quickly followed in her footsteps.

The scenery in this forest is similar to but different from Wushan Mountain. There are strange shiny flowers and plants everywhere, there are faint light spots jumping around the trees, and there are many unknown insects and small animals. They are not afraid when they see people passing by, they just follow their own Marching at the same pace, neither hostile nor welcoming, it is in a class of its own.

As they walked, they gradually saw a dazzling light shining in front of them, like the light produced by the accumulation of countless silver in the sun, but this light did not have the dominance of the world. When they looked closer, it was surrounded by trees. There is a clear lake shining with silver light. The water is so clear that you can see to the bottom of the lake. There are many silver-scaled fish swimming in it, occasionally jumping out of the water, drawing a shining arc.There are many beautiful flowers dotted around the lake, surrounded by a small wooden house. There are some things drying in front of the house. When I get closer, I find that they are medicinal herbs. There is a small candle in the house, and a person is photocopied on the window. superior.

Gu Tailai pulled Ji Xiaocai behind him, Zhou Zhaoji and Ji Lanye remained calm, only Luo Jie, ever since he saw the great wizard forming an formation and opening the door of the divine residence, he seemed to be more and more unable to restrain his emotions.When he saw the figure at this time, his eyes were fierce, and he felt an urgency to finally get what he wanted, and his hostility almost took shape!

The people living in that house did not know whether they deliberately pretended not to know or what. Several people entered the small courtyard in front of his door, but there was no movement. The shadow on the window only showed that he seemed to be sitting alone and meditating. After a while, the shadow on the window moved, followed by an intermittent sound of the piano.He is using the ancient diaoqin which is Miao Min's favorite. The melody he plays seems to be cheerful, but in his hands, it is not known whether it is because of the intermittent intervals, it seems to be sad and forbearing. People complain, or no one has complained, so there is a kind of hidden pain.

Unable to hold back anymore, Luo Jie pushed open the door of the wooden house before Jin Jin did. He exerted so much force that the wooden doors collided with each other, making a loud noise, but the performer seemed unaware and just continued to play.Gu Tailai and the others felt that something was wrong, but Luo Jie was already dazzled by anger, so he kept walking into the house without waiting for them.Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and then several people heard Luo Jie's angry growl from the back room, followed by the bang of something heavy falling to the ground!A few people rushed to the back room, but they saw Luo Jie standing aside angrily. There was a person sitting on the ground in front of him, groping and slowly raising his head.

As soon as he raised his head, the room was silent, followed by a tragic exclamation, Jin Zi woke up at some point, looked at the people on the ground, trembling with fright.The appearance of the person sitting on the ground was reflected by the candlelight. This is an old man with gray beard and hair. He is called an old man because his face is gray and wrinkled. His eyes are already blind. What is even more frightening is that on his face and body, all the exposed skin seems to have been cut by a knife, revealing many deep wounds, but there is no blood bleeding from the wounds, as if The blood in his whole body has dried up.

Ji Lanye frowned deeply and said, "Heaven and man have five decays. If this person is the Great Witch God, there is nothing to guard against. Even if we don't move him, he will die!" As he spoke, he really dropped his guard.

Luo Jie's face was full of disbelief, with veins popping out, he took a few breaths and said, "You are the Great Witch God? You are Tao Duo? Impossible! You are not like this!" He muttered to himself, as if convincing himself, " You are not like this, I saw you when I was young, you were obviously a young man at that time!"

The old man didn't know if he heard him, but slowly groped for the overturned chair and sat up with difficulty, trembling as if he wanted to touch the clay pot on the table, but couldn't touch it after several times, Ji Xiaocai really saw But go over, take a look at Gu Tailai, get his permission, go up and hand the pot to the old man, the old man tremblingly holds it tightly, after a while, he heard a hoarse voice Come out: "I am Tao Duo who is in charge of this place. I have lost the three senses of sound, color and taste, and the remaining two senses are almost gone. I can only talk to people with the voice transmission Gu. If you want to talk to me, please put Put your hands on my clay pot!"

Without any hesitation, Luo Jie put his hand on the small pot and asked with red eyes, "Where is Tao Duo? Tell him to get out!"

It seemed to take some time for the voice to pass through, and Tao Duo's hand trembled slightly after a while, and the hoarse voice asked hesitantly, "Are you Luo Jie?"

Luo Jie covered the small clay pot with his hand, and asked sharply, "I am Luo Jie, the younger brother of Do Luo Jie who was killed by Tao Duo, tell him to come out!"

Tao Duo opened his blind eyes blankly, as if he wanted to see the other party clearly, but no matter how hard he tried, it was already useless.After the sound transmission Gu passed, a voice would come out: "Luo Jie, I am Tao Duo, as you said, I was the one who married your sister and killed her seven years ago."

Luo Jie's voice was full of repressed anger, and he shouted: "Nonsense! Where is Tao Duo! If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Tao Duo replied very calmly: "Luo Jie, I know you have a scar behind your ear, which was left by the injury you suffered in that mudslide when you were a child." After a while, when there was no sound, the voice rang out again, "Still Yes, the night before your sister got married, I came to the village to meet her, and you were there at that time..."

Luo Jie roared angrily: "How did you become like this!? You should die by my hands!"

Tao Duo's face twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but the flesh on his face seemed to be necrotic and unable to move, so he looked particularly terrifying and frightening: "Gods are not immortal, as they are born, they die. Many Years ago, the great witch god of the previous generation died, and I was born. Now that I die, a new witch god will replace me to protect Yinsuo village and the mountains and rivers here. The fate changes, and the old god Gechiyou will die, let alone Me. I don’t know who is manipulating our life and death, so just take it as my retribution for killing Dorothy, I’m going to die!”

Luo Jie supported the table with his hands, almost as if he was about to crush the small jar: "How can you die so easily! My elder sister died so terribly back then, thousands of gus devoured her heart, and there were no bones left. People here still despise her and ridicule her when they mention her. They don't want to think about it, if it weren't for my elder sister, where would the peace and happiness of Yinsuo Village come to be for so many years? She sacrificed her whole life for everyone, but ended up like this In the end, people only know that she offended you and was ordered to die, causing the people in the village to be terrified. I don’t know when you will be condemned for it! No one cares whether she is doing well, whether she is happy or not, and why she died of!"

"Luo Jie..."

"Shut up! Do you know that our siblings have lost their aunt since we were young, and my elder sister took over as my mother, in my eyes, it's like kissing my aunt, but since you married you, you have prevented us from seeing each other , our siblings are separated by you like this, and we can only have a short meeting on the night of the Silver Moon Festival every few years, and I comfort myself, as long as my sister lives happily, but in the end you let her die It's so miserable!"

Tao Duo was silent for a while before he said: "So that's the case, I understand, Luo Jie, you are right, but there is only one thing, your elder sister never offended me, whether she was alive or after death, I am I have never changed my mind about her!"

"Fart!" Luo Jie yelled, "If you really miss her, why would you ask for a bride from the village again!"

Tao Duo responded in surprise after a while: "What? What bride?"

Luo Jie snorted coldly and said, "It's this time, do you still need to dress up? It wasn't because of this psychic marriage that I was able to find this place? You are very good at hiding, and I spent seven years, Begging for mercy, I knelt at the door of the Great Wizard for several days and nights begging him to accept me as an apprentice. I wanted to find out your whereabouts, just to find you and kill you one day, but I have gained nothing in the past seven years. The next time I asked for a bride in the village, I really couldn’t find you. Heh, it’s funny, I said you’re already like this, and you can still get close to women?”

Tao Duo seemed too shocked, and he said after a while, "I...I never asked for a bride..."

Ji Lanye interrupted Luo Jie's seizure, and asked, "Wait a minute Luo Jie, didn't you arrange the bride to find an excuse to find Shenju?"

Luo Jie turned his head in shock: "What nonsense!? How can I have such ability?"

Zhou Zhaoji touched his chin and said, "You want to find out the whereabouts of your sister's murderer, so you defected to the great wizard's sect. You have already admitted this..."

Luo Jie said: "That's right, I wanted to get information from him, but he guarded me very tightly. Only the great wizards of each generation know the Shinto way to go to the Shenju, and only that person can open the entrance to the Shenju. , and the way after entering the shrine, only the chosen bride knows, so I have to persuade the bride to enter the shrine with me..."

Jin Zi whispered: "Brother Luo Jie, so you lied to me not to run away for your own sake..."

Luo Jie's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "I'm sorry, Jin Zi, brother Luo Jie has no other choice, but as long as you can kill this bastard, you will be fine!"

Zhou Zhaoji asked, "Did you not drug the great wizard?"

Luo Jie looked at Zhou Zhaoji and Ji Lanye suspiciously: "Just now you asked me once, I don't understand why I drugged the great wizard!"

Ji Lanye said coldly: "If you want to find Shenju, there are only two possibilities. The first is to succeed the great wizard, and the second is to sneak in during the marriage of the gods. I think you have been trying for so many years. One, you managed to get the great wizard to accept you as an apprentice, but as you said, perhaps because of your status, he guarded you very tightly, and when you were at your wit's end, you thought of drugging him. When he's dead, you'll have access to secrets that only great wizards know."

Luo Jie said angrily: "That's right, I want revenge, but that doesn't mean I'm so insane that I will kill people casually!"

Gu Tailai patted Ji Lanye on the shoulder, walked up to Luo Jie, and put his hand on the clay pot, as if he wanted Tao Duo to hear him too.

"Luo Jie, let me ask you, the great wizard is only in his 40s, how can he be so old, I think he is not angry, there seems to be something blocking the flow of breath in his body..."

Luo Jie said: "The great wizard got sick two years ago, I can't see the cause, he said it's not a problem, it's just that he hurt his body when he practiced Gu in the early years, and he gave him medicine, and it has been cured..."

Zhou Zhaoji said: "Let me ask you, why did you tamper with the medicine when you decocted it for him yesterday evening?"

Luo Jie was in a hurry, and said: "The medicine the great wizard made yesterday was stronger than before. I was a little surprised, so I reduced it a little bit without authorization."

Tao Duo suddenly asked: "Bride, where is the bride!" His shriveled body trembled desperately, and the sound transmission Gu made a strange sound like a dilapidated bellows pulling the wind.

Luo Jie sneered: "Why, you still think about the bride after this meeting?"

Tao Duo panted, "See if there are red marks on the inside of the bride's two elbows, like a Kui snake biting its head and tail, quick, quick look!"

Luo Jie looked at Tao Duo in confusion.Gu Tailai winked at Ji Xiaocai, and Ji Xiaocai and Zhou Zhaoji were alone, saying: "Young lady offended you." She pushed up the gold cuffs, and sure enough there was a small red one inside each of her two elbows. The seal looks like it was bitten by some insect, but if you look closely, it is a ring-shaped totem of a feathered snake with its head and tail connected!

Ji Lanye only rested his hand on the seal for a few minutes, then frowned and said, "It's so evil, I'm afraid I couldn't notice it just now because I was under the pressure of Shinto."

Luo Jie watched the actions of several people, completely at a loss for a moment.

Ji Lanye said again: "This is an evil curse. Demonic ways are often used to kill people and disperse people's souls. Those who fall under the curse will never be reborn."

Zhou Zhaoji said, "It's not the way of the devil, it's the way of ghosts. You see, the direction of the snake's coiling is reversed. It's not just about killing people." To turn a living person into a living soul, to be eaten by others, to rejuvenate the old man, to change the fate of the heavens, to bring the dead back to life..."

Jin Jin was too frightened to say anything.Tao Duo supported the table and stood up, shouting loudly, "Where are you, Naji, come out! I don't want you to save me in this way!"

He yelled a few times, but there was no response.

Luo Jie said in a daze, "Here is the great wizard? I heard that the great wizard cannot enter the divine dwelling, otherwise it would be an offense to the god."

Tao Duo coughed, and the sound transmission Gu made a hoarse voice: "It's not because ordinary people can't enter the divine dwelling because it will offend me, it's because... because this place is different from the mortal world, ordinary people will be affected by it when they enter here, at least Lifespan will be shortened, if it is serious, it will be weakened to death, and you will not be able to reincarnate after death... Wait, two years... Yes, it is two years! It must be this idiot!" Tao Duo said bitterly, "I have been weakening rapidly since Dorothy passed away. , The momentum of weakness two years ago slowed down inexplicably. I always thought that God would let me live for a while, waiting...waiting for her brother to kill me with his own hands, but I didn't expect that the guitar had tampered with it , Sneaked into the God’s Residence, thought of a way to hide it from the world, and secretly exchanged my lifespan for me..."

He tremblingly supported the table and walked, wanting to go outside, touched Luo Jie with his hand and said, "Luo Jie, help him! He will be worse than your sister!"

"My sister...?"

Tao Duo was anxious to tell the whole story, "Before the natural disaster [-] years ago, I went out on business. Although I came back in time and saved Yinsuo Village, two people were killed in the mudslide. It was the people who were on the mountain at that time. You brothers and sisters, your elder sister was protecting you at that time, so you were only injured, but your elder sister was already dying..."

Luo Jie was almost stunned by these words: "What are you talking about? My sister is not doing well..."

Tao Duo said: "Your elder sister was dying at the time. In order to save her, I injected her with spiritual power that ordinary people could not bear to help her back to life. I will still die. I fell in love with your elder sister at first sight, and in order to save her, I had the idea of ​​marrying her. As long as she stays in this God's House forever, there will be me, and the aura of Wushan will support her body. It's been a long time of happiness, but she still misses you too much. After a long time, she wants to visit you in a magical place. It's not that I don't want you siblings to meet, but she...she is no longer a mortal. Once in the mortal world, the yang poison will enter the body. I didn't know that you would meet secretly every time you go to the Silver Moon Festival. No wonder her body is getting worse every year... Seven years ago, she took advantage of my unpreparedness, Sunrise Shenju wanted to find you, so that her yang poison entered her body, and her mind and soul were completely wiped out. When I found her, it was already...already..."

Luo Jie gritted his teeth: "Impossible...you lied to me!"

Ji Xiaocai glared at him and asked him, "He's about to die, why did he lie to you?"

Tao Duo said: "In order to save me, Naji must have used a lot of rebellious methods in the past two years. Now he is afraid that he is about to die, so he thought of using the bride of this specific birthday bloodline to continue my life. Find him, stop him! Otherwise..."

Jin Zi suddenly screamed, the voice was extremely shrill.Everyone only felt a flash in front of their eyes, but saw a group of vicious blue-green flames leaping from her body, wrapping her whole body in it.The flame was cold and vicious. Ji Xiaocai and Zhou Zhaoji were standing on both sides, but they both felt a piercing chill. In an instant, Zhou Zhaoji drew a rune and set up an enchantment. Pulled behind.

Ji Lanye was puzzled: "Tianyan Five Elements Talisman, why do you do this?"

Zhou Zhaoji had no time to answer, and looked at Jin Zi coldly.The girl couldn't make any sound except for the cry just now. In fact, in just a moment, the flames swallowed her feet. Burning quietly, devouring what was left of her body.

Tao Duo couldn't see it, so he could only ask anxiously: "What's wrong? Is it the Yin Gu Rebirth Array?" He didn't care about anything else, he stumbled out and groped, "Naji, where are you! You Come out, stop quickly! Don't hurt others!" He yelled several times, but no one answered.

Luo Jie was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the gold quietly burning in the air.Gu Tailai yelled "Duh", drew a few flow talismans in front of Jin Zi's body, and cut her wrist with a dagger, dripping around her body, and the flame was temporarily suppressed.Ji Lanye looked at Gu Tailai with a delicate expression, as if he could see something from his movements.

After Gu Tailai finished all this, he said in a low voice, "Catch Naji first!"

At this time, Ji Lanye put his two fingers together and shouted: "Now." He saw that he pulled out a bright and clear long sword from his wrist out of thin air. , the cold is pressing.

Zhou Zhaoji couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Ice Meteor Sword is getting more and more powerful!"

Ji Lanye didn't hear him speak, and with a touch of both hands, the blade of the sword made a clear sound, and the tip of the sword turned lightly: "Zhengxi."

Several people jumped out of the window, just about to leave the courtyard, Gu Tailai suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them.He grabbed a stone and threw it out, as if he had been splashed with lamp oil, a wall of raging flames immediately rose around the room.The wall is higher than the ancient Tailai, and it is scarlet and scorching hot. It is different from the poisonous flame on Jin Zi's body, but it is fierce!But the same thing, they are all transformed by Gu!

I heard the great wizard's voice from a distance: "I have already told you not to meddle in other people's business, and I have also warned Luo Jie not to ruin your future. Since you insist on getting involved, I just borrowed your life essence together. This will be beneficial to Master Todo!"

Ji Lanye snorted coldly: "Small tricks!" He raised his sword and slashed down. Wherever he touched, he felt sticky, and countless Gu worms fell down one after another, but soon more Gu worms filled the gap.Ji Lanye put away his sword and held up the Heavenly Fire Burning Jue, thinking that he was going to use the Heavenly Fire to drive away the Gu worms, but was held back by Zhou Zhaoji.

"You can't move!" he said, "If you burn it with fire from the sky at this moment, the Gu wall will naturally be destroyed, but the great wizard will definitely be backlashed by the Gu king, and then no one will be able to solve the Yin Gu on Jin Zi's body!"

Ji Lanye said angrily, "Then what do you want to do?"

Zhou Zhaoji also seemed to have lost his mind, and just said, "Let me think about it. It is not difficult for us to kill him, the key is how to keep the gold!"

Luo Jie suddenly cried in the room, heart-piercing, several people turned around and looked over, the flames on Jin Zi's body in the window were approaching again.Like a hand that wanted to tighten and was forced to relax, it approached the safe zone marked by Gu Tailai's blood curse inch by inch.Naji respectfully said outside the Gu formation: "My lord, you will recover your mana soon, soon!"

In this strange silence, a clear and crisp sound was suddenly heard.The sound transmission Gu in Tao Duo's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. A small blue Gu worm contained inside crawled out and looked at its master suspiciously.Tao Duo suddenly opened his mouth, and with his own voice, perhaps with the last of his strength, he said, "Naji, if you save me in this way, I would rather die." !"

He had just finished speaking when suddenly a bright light shot up from the bottom of his feet, surrounding him completely.The cracks on his body became deeper and penetrated, as if there were invisible knives cutting. The skin, bones, and flesh, like a broken clay pot, shattered inch by inch along those cut marks, Withered...

The Gu wall disappeared in an instant, and the great wizard staggered in, trying to hold him back. Although he had the face of an old man, he looked like a child at the moment. He knelt down and cried, "My lord, great witch god! Don't! Then Don’t dare! My lord, the Great Witch God!”

Tao Duo had only his face floating in the air, he whispered, "Naji, silly boy, stop doing stupid things, I'm going to find Dorojo, I should have gone to her long ago..."

In an instant, the ashes disappeared, and the world was silent!

Naji trembled and touched the dust on the ground, and said bitterly: "Why do you want to do this! He would not have died so early. He guarded this place well and used all his strength. But because of your suspicion of him, your suspicion of him Hatred made him gradually lose the divine power to protect himself, and Doroji, if it wasn't for her to save her life, he would not have hurt his own essence at all... It shouldn't be like this, he has done so much for us , why do you have to die instead!" He roared, "I want you all to be buried with him!"

He flapped his hands and muttered words, and the vicious blue-green flame instantly swept across the room and enveloped himself.Ji Lan's Ye Bingyu sword drew a white light, and the fresh air swept across, competing with the flames to protect everyone!He said anxiously: "What the hell! That man is already crazy. If it's really impossible, I can only kill him, and I can't care about that girl!"

Ji Xiaocai was at a loss for a moment. He felt that he was useless from just now, and could only watch from the sidelines, watching the gold being swallowed by the flames, and watching Tao Duo scatter his spirits to save others.He heard Zhou Zhaoji's voice in his ears saying: "There is no other way, we can only kill him." He felt a "click" in his heart, and then heard Gu Tailai's voice, and after a while, it also rang out, saying: " Let's do it."

Ji Xiaocai turned around and looked, blue and green filled his vision, in the cold flames, he saw Jin Zi's face that had been swallowed up to only half of his face, and a line of tears flowed from that eye.

"Can't there be no one to sacrifice?"

"Can't everyone be alive?"

"Is there really nothing I can do?"

He suddenly felt a surge of hot air in his body, as if something was about to penetrate his body and spurt out.

"Xiao Cai, what's wrong with you?" Gu Tailai was the first to discover that something was wrong with Ji Xiaocai. From his eyes, it could be seen that Ji Xiaocai's faint demonic aura suddenly surged like a tide, and that surge of power was too domineering , Even standing aside, he was suppressed smothered.

Ji Xiaocai seemed to be in a daze, her hairband was broken, her robe was torn, her long hair fell loose, and five-colored flames rose from behind her. He stretched out his fingers, and the colorful phoenix embroidered on Jin Jin's bridal gown suddenly seemed to come alive, struggling to get out of it. She jumped out of her clothes, devoured those vicious flames in one gulp, revealing her golden and mutilated body floating in the air, obviously dead.

However, following Ji Xiaocai was like dancing with a sword, with flowing movements, clear air rising straight up, following the direction of his movements, the Yin Gu was silently wiped out, and the body of the Yuanling, which was brought by the phoenix, was pieced together one by one.Gu Tailai and the others watched helplessly as the gold was restored, her body turned from incomplete to complete, her face turned bloody, her chest rose and fell, and then slowly fell to the ground.But this is not over yet, Ji Xiaocai's body is surrounded by colorful brilliance, the phoenix flies around him, rubs his face with its head, and with a chirping sound, it suddenly turns into countless small colorful spirit birds, they are lively Flying to the place where Tao Duo had exhausted his soul before, part of it flew everywhere to pick up his scattered soul, and the other part pieced together his body on the dust, and then threw himself into it and disappeared, becoming a supplement. part of his body.

Soon Tao Duo's real appearance appeared in front of everyone, with lush Shen Bi hair color like Wushan Peak, and fair complexion like Crescent Moon Spring. his ribcage.

In the clean light, Tao Duo slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep blue-black as the blue sky.He didn't seem to understand why, Ji Xiaocai smiled at him, and finally waved away the flames on Naji's body... After he finished all this, he turned around and looked at everyone, and only said to Gu Tailai: "Master Dao, I did it, Nobody needs to die..."

Before he finished speaking, all the light surrounding him suddenly disappeared, as if being swallowed by a black hole that greedily devoured everything, Ji Xiaocai suddenly spit out a big mouthful of blood, her face was like golden paper, and she faintly fell on the ancient There was no more movement in Tailai's arms!I don't know when, the rain started pattering down, and there was a painful roar like a wounded beast in the world!
