The two boats broke through the clouds and descended together. As the black clouds dispersed and the land got closer, they could see the details of Bat Island—the island is not big, and the buildings are hidden among the trees. In the center stands a The demon tower has towering eaves and corners, and a dazzling golden roof.

You must know that things like pagodas are generally built to suppress demons in the Cultivation Continent. There are often soul-suppressing copper bells on the edge of the tile eaves, and talismans and seals are painted on the bricks.Not so with the tower at the center of Bat Island.

It has seven floors in total, and on each floor there is a skeleton head hanging on the place where the copper bell should be hung. Those heads have been completely decayed, and they are swaying faintly with the foul wind on the island...

Jiang Yexue and Murong Chuyi activated their spirit flow respectively, and the painting boat and nuclear boat landed directly in front of the tower in the center of Bat Island.

After the four of them got off the boat, the boats were reduced to a small size and were included in Qiankun's bag.Looking up, I saw that the surrounding area of ​​this pagoda was empty and gloomy, and when I looked carefully, I found that there were thousands of bats curled up under the tile eaves.Since it was daytime at this time, these bats were sleeping soundly.

Jiang Yexue murmured: "The Tower of Human Sacrifice..."

Gu Mang asked: "What is the Human Sacrifice Pagoda? I have only heard of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda."

Jiang Yexue said: "The reason is similar. People build pagodas to suppress demons, and demons build pagodas to trap people. This road is a bat demon island. Naturally, the owner of the island will not be a monk, but a bat spirit. Build this pagoda." It is to trap living people in it for emergency use."

"What unexpected needs?"

Jiang Yexue's complexion was not very good, and she said softly: "You can't tell. Some monsters eat people and store them as food. Some monsters drink blood, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Chuyi had already stepped forward, without saying a word, a piece of talisman hit the main gate of the Sacrifice Pagoda, only a muffled sound was heard, and the curse-scarred door of the ancient pagoda was slammed open .

With a wave of his arm, Murong Chuyi brushed away the miasma gushing out of the tower, turned his face, his dark brown eyes turned coldly: "Jiang Yexue, are you here to save people, or to teach?"

After saying that, he entered the tower without turning his head, and the pure white figure was instantly engulfed by darkness.

Jiang Yexue and the others quickly followed in. The hall on the first floor of the Human Sacrifice Pagoda was dark and dark, with eight thick stone pillars reaching the top of the pagoda.Those stone pillars are carved with complex patterns, but if you look closely, you will find that they are all piled up with white bones one by one, and there are tens of thousands of bats hanging upside down on the eight tower pillars.

These bats are different from the ones seen outside. Each of them is as tall as an adult, but the bat membrane is not black and gray, but a translucent white.Through this layer of curled white membrane, we can see that many of them have taken human form, but some have become more and some have become less.

The ones that have become more are almost the same as ordinary people except for two bat wings.The one that has become less has only evolved human feet, while the rest of them still look like hairy bats.

Looking up, these bats, like silkworm chrysalis, hung densely all over the tower, thousands if not tens of thousands.

Gu Mang was worried that he would wake them up, so he asked softly, "Are they sleeping?"

Mo Xi shook his head and said, "It's in seclusion. It's recorded in ancient books that it's a fire bat."

What Gu Mang cares about is always very realistic. He scanned the fire bats hanging all over the seven-story pagoda like sauce ducks, and asked Mo Xi's second question: "Are they easy to deal with?"

Mo Xi didn't answer directly, but said: "The fire bat is a species bred by a half-demon, half-immortal called Yumin on Mount Jiuhua."

"They're actually immortals?" Gu Mang looked at those furry monsters with protruding keels, and thought first, they must be very difficult to fight!Then I thought again, these little brothers are too far from the immortals I imagined.

While muttering like this, he glanced at Murong Chuyi who was standing in front.

If you ask him, at least an immortal should look like Murong Chuyi, who is so tall and elegant, his clothes and hairbands are fluttering when there is no wind.

These half-mouse, half-human beings can't be matched.

Fortunately, Mo Xi didn't say anything further, and he restored Gu Mang's impression of immortals in time. Mo Xi said: "Fire bats are not considered half-immortals. As I said just now, they are descendants of Feathermen, and Feathermen are half-immortals." Immortals and half-demons, some of them have a strong demonic nature, they are licentious and depraved, they mate with beasts, and give birth to monsters mixed with beast blood, these are these fire bats."

Gu Mang counted quite seriously with his fingers: "That is... half immortal, half demon, half beast?"

"The immortal's blood is very little inherited." Mo Xi said, "It is not an exaggeration to say that it is half beast and half demon."

Gu Mang then turned the topic back to the first one: "Then are they easy to fight?"

"The spiritual power is strong, but the mind is dull. So it's not too difficult. But this is where the fire bat demon gathers. It's best not to do it if you can. Don't bother them."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Jiang Yexue: "Qingxu, can you find out if there is any trace of Yue Chenqing here?"

Jiang Yexue said, "I'll try."

As he said, he took out a piece of talisman paper from the Qiankun bag, blew lightly on the paper, and the talisman paper turned into a spirit bird and flew into the air.

"Go and check out Chen Qing's breath."

The sparrow took the lead, and flew to the top of the tower softly, but when it flew to the third floor, it suddenly screamed, and then its wings were suddenly scorched by a handful of invisible flames. Turned into a wisp of green smoke!

Eight scarlet characters floated in midair:

"If a foreign race wants to enter, sacrifice it with blood."

Jiang Yexue frowned and said: "It seems that if we want to go up the tower, whether it is us or the spirit butterfly and spirit beast, we must first offer blood." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the pool in the center of the demon tower. Plasma, lost in thought, "Are you going to drip blood into it?"

Mo Xi said, "Let's try it."

So the four of them walked to the side of the pool of blood. Mo Xi took off the hidden weapon dagger tied on his wrist sleeve, cut his palm, and handed the dagger to Jiang Yexue.After everyone dropped a few drops of blood into the pool, the blood in the pool suddenly boiled and surged——

Suddenly, blood splashed everywhere, and there was a creepy roar from inside, followed by a strange beast emitting red light all over its body!

Gu Mang said in shock: "What is this?!"

In the blood mist splashing, I saw that although the strange beast had a human body, its facial features looked like a porcupine, its fangs were upturned, its fur was red like fire, and its pupils were as red as the sun.It held a mountain axe, threw away the blood in the pool of blood, sneezed violently, and cursed:

"Zhiniang's thief, what's going on these days? Someone broke into the tower again and again, could it be that his grandma got impatient and wanted to serve His Royal Highness Bat King as a snack?"

Jiang Yexue's eyes widened all of a sudden: "Shan Gao..."

This beast is a well-known monster in the mainland of Kyushu, but Gu Mang lacks memory, so he doesn't know it at all. Seeing that the other three people all looked clear, he couldn't help being a little anxious, but he was too embarrassed to ask others, so he whispered Ask Mo Xi: "What is mountain paste?"

Mo Xi replied: "It is a kind of evil beast that has existed since ancient times. It looks like a pig and its red is like fire. It has no other hobbies in normal times, except that it likes to swear."

Gu Mang thought to himself, then this pig's hobbies are quite similar to yours, I don't know if the two of you have a fight and see who will win.

Panting, Shan Gao looked at the four of them one by one with her piggy eyes, and she cursed at them as soon as she opened her mouth: "The cripple, the dead face, the blue-eyed monster and the little bitch, you four are trespassing on bats!" The tower, disturbing my slumber, I really hate it!"

Gu Mang heard it call them this way, and immediately took his seat. He silently counted with his fingers: Jiang Yexue is the cripple, and I am the blue eye. Both the princess and the little dragon girl are expressionless, but the princess is tall and straight, So the little girl should be referring to Murong Chuyi who is half a head shorter than Mo Xi, so Mo Xi is dead-faced.

"Why are you here?! Why don't you recruit them quickly!"

After all, the other party is an ancient spirit beast, Jiang Yexue saluted, and said: "Brother Sister came to Mengdie Island a few days ago, and has not been seen since then. The only news is related to this bat island, so we trespassed on the precious land." .”

"Your brother?" Shan Yao narrowed his eyes, "Haha, you are a big cripple, is your brother a little cripple?"

Jiang Yexue really had a good temper, and she couldn't express her anger and joy, and said, "My younger brother is in good health."

"Oh, that kid who doesn't cripple...I've seen one these days. Is it a trash snack that wears a white gold-edged shirt, talks twitteringly, and has a pig's brain?"

The expressions of Murong Chuyi and Jiang Yexue changed slightly.Although Shan Gao's words are harsh, it is true that the description is like Yue Chenqing.Jiang Yexue saluted again immediately, and said, "Please tell me, sir, where is this young man now?"

This Jiang Yexue is really too powerful. She can call such a pig brain "Mr." It's useless, you haven't answered what the old man asked you just now. Let me ask you again, is your younger brother a twittering, useless snack with a pig's brain at first sight?"

"..." Jiang Yexue didn't want to go along with him scolding her younger brother. Just as he was hesitating, Murong Chuyi suddenly heard Murong Chuyi coldly say from the side: "That's right. Stupid and long-winded. He is dressed in white and gold. It's him. Do you know his identity?" whereabouts."

"Hey, your grandson is very quick to admit it." Shan Gao's red bean eyes turned to Murong Chuyi, "It's just that you are a big man, with a thin waist and pretty face like a fairy, and you are not masculine enough and ugly."

"I asked you where that boy is now." Murong Chuyi was very impatient, and asked forcefully with sonorous words.

Perhaps it was because Murong Chuyi's eyes were like flames of lightning, and his aura was so strong, Shan Gao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you ask me and I answer you, then I will lose all face?"

Murong Chuyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "How are you doing?"

"Of course everything must be done according to my uncle's rules!"

Murong Chuyi raised his black eyebrows: "What rules."

Shan Gao hummed twice and said, "Hmph! This matter has a long history! Let me ask you first, do you know what this pagoda was originally used for?"

"The Human Sacrifice Pagoda is used to imprison the living." Jiang Yexue replied.

"The dead cripple is right, but I have a lot of aura in Dream Butterfly Island, and all the monsters on the island have gradually cultivated the way of fasting. The Bat King is all about attaining Taoism and ascension. He has seldom killed evil for a hundred years, and there is no need to plunder humans for food. .This pagoda gradually fell into disrepair, and now it has become a place for bat spirits to retreat and practice."

Jiang Yexue said softly: "Since that's the case, it's useless for my younger brother to stay on the island. Could your highness please do me a favor and let my younger brother go back with us?"

"Hey, your crippled idea is too beautiful. Although the Bat King didn't take the initiative to capture monks. But your pig-brained brother ran into the door by himself, and touched the king's taboo, so he let him go? Tsk tsk tsk, where is it?" So easy."

Jiang Yexue said: "What big taboo did he commit?"

Shan Gao chuckled: "It's still the same sentence, if you ask, should I answer it? Everything must follow your uncle and my rules."

Murong Chuyi had already been provoked to the point of failure, he suddenly waved his fly whisk, although he didn't intend to make a move yet, sparks were already flying in his eyes, his brows were low, and he said angrily: "I asked you what the rules are, why don't you tell me quickly?" ?!"

Shan Yao bared her fangs and said: "The little girl has a thin skin and tender flesh, but her temper is rougher than that of a big man like me. She is hot enough. All right, I will tell you that."

He paused: "My lord, I guard this tower for the Bat King. I won't hurt anyone easily. If you monks come to visit and ask you something, I can answer your three questions mercifully. But every time I get a You will have to pay the corresponding price for the answer to the question. So you should think about it, and you can only ask three things. The price is as low as a hair, as high as three souls and seven souls... how about it, Are you really going to do that?"

Murong Chuyi didn't blink: "First question, where is Yue Chenqing now?"

"Oh, it's refreshing, let's ask now." Shan Gao counted and said, "Your first question is worthless, and I don't lie to you, sir. In this way, in exchange, I will give his Let me know your whereabouts."

"What do you want to change?"

Shan Gao licked his fat and greasy lips: "Master, I like to eat people's pain. The more pain others pass, the more delicious I will chew it." After he finished speaking, he swept the four of them back and forth maliciously, "You guys, if you are willing to stand upright and let me ingest some painful secrets from your minds to nourish yourself, then I will answer your first question."

Because the matter involved the other three people, Murong Chuyi didn't immediately agree, but turned to look at them.

Mo Xi thought to himself, since Shanyou could answer all three of their questions, then he should never satisfy everything Shanyou wanted with the first question.Otherwise, what should be exchanged for the second and third questions?But before he could speak, he heard Gu Mang beside him suddenly say:

"Brother Pig, shouldn't we count this way?"

Shan Yao's eyes widened: "Why shouldn't this be the case?"

Gu Mang said: "Look, we only asked you one question, but you want to collect a painful memory from everyone. You are too unkind."

Shan Gao refused to accept it and said, "My lord, how can I be unkind?!"

Gu Mang said: "What you just said by yourself is only an exchange with us. One thing for one thing, then every time we ask a question, you should only ingest the memory once. Right?"

"..."

"So every time you answer a question, you can only choose one person to take the memory, not four. You are a great ancient god, you should not be opportunistic, and your words don't count."

"You—!" Shan Gao was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and the pig's face turned red and purple.

It was frustrated, and originally wanted to issue an expulsion order to drive this group of people back, but it could also vaguely perceive that the four people present were all sufferers, and the pain of these people was naturally mellow and extremely delicious.

Is there any reason to let go of a fat duck that has reached its mouth?

Shan Gao had no choice but to say in a rough voice: "All right, all right! Then one question can be exchanged for a period of pain! But you can't recommend yourself, sir, I want to choose by myself!"

Gu Mang imitated his tone, and said with a smile, "All right, all right, pick it yourself. Come on, do you want a cripple with a paralyzed face, or a little girl with blue eyes?"

Shan Gao carefully looked at the four of them again, sniffing and sniffing, smelling the bitterness deep in their souls.The more he sucked, the more greedy he became - Gu Mang was born as a slave and lacked two souls.Mo Xi's father died young, his mother betrayed him, and was stabbed in the chest by his lover.Murong Chuyi's parents abandoned him, and he was orphaned since childhood.As for Jiang Yexue, needless to say, it was the fate of a lone star.

Shan Gao's throat couldn't help swallowing, he almost wanted to break his promise and get fat, swallowing all the memories of them!

But people need face, trees need bark, and mountain paste is also good for face.Although these people smelled delicious, it was not to the point where it couldn't control itself, so it cleared its throat and made a decision:

"Then you, just you, dead cripple, come here."

Jiang Yexue said with a light smile, "What. Do you think my life is the hardest, sir?"

"Lack of arms and legs, it's just you. Don't you want to?"

"I don't want to be able to save Chenqing from her sleepiness." Jiang Yexue said, "But since what Mister wants to eat is a secret, I naturally don't want others to know. Painful memories can be absorbed by Mister, but Mister must not Disclose it. Can you agree to this, sir?"

Shan Gao said: "When memory enters my mouth, it becomes my food. How can I spit it out? Don't worry, sir, I will never say anything."

Jiang Yexue was gentle but not stupid, he said: "Empty words are not proven, sir, can you make a demon oath?"

After all, Shan Gao was originally a pig, and he was very gluttonous. He was eager to eat the pain of others, and he was not interested in talking nonsense about the memories he had captured, so he immediately raised two fingers and made a demon oath.

"It's all right now, right? You're the only one who has too many things to do!"

Jiang Yexue smiled gently: "That's up to you to pick."

Gu Mang and Mo Xi didn't refuse either, so Shan Gao raised his head and opened his mouth, standing in the middle of the pool of blood, screaming.Following his howl, the surrounding gusts suddenly rose, and several strands of black smoke overflowed from the chests of the four people, and all of them poured into the mouth of the mountain paste.

When the wind died down and the waves subsided, Shan Gao opened her eyes and licked her lips eagerly.

"Well, yes, it's delicious. It's just that you're a cripple, and it's unexpected that your painful memory is related to this—"

Jiang Yexue interrupted him with a smile: "Sir, did you forget what you promised just now?"

Shan Gao stopped talking, but for some reason, since it finished chewing Jiang Yexue's pain, it kept looking at Murong Chuyi, and there was a malicious gleam in its small Jingjing eyes.

Murong Chuyi flicked his sleeves and said: "You have already got what you want, tell me, where is Yue Chenqing?"

The author has something to say:

Shan Gao really has such a monster~~

Mountain paste (huān, Yin Huan), the name of a monster in Chinese myths and legends.It looks like a pig and is easy to curse.Its theory first appeared in the pre-Qin period. "Shan Hai Jing Shan Zhong Jing": "Bitter Mountain, there are beasts, the name is Shan Gao, its shape is like chasing, red like a red fire, good at scolding." ——This is not a popular science written by me, it is done by Baidu Encyclopedia 2333333 ~

Gu Mangmang: Shan Gao Shan Gao, look, you are a monster, I have been tortured, and I also have the blood of monsters on my body, we are fellow ducks!

Shan Gao: How are you doing?

Gu Mangmang: So your special ability of eating other people's memories can't be passed on to me?

Shanyou: Why do you want to learn this skill?

Gu Mangmang: In this way, I can eat my memory, skip meals, and save money for Princess Sissi!

A-Lian: Bah, why didn't you know how to save me money when you lived in my other garden?Huoqiu is as rich as hell, okay? !Do you want to protect him like this!Spicy chicken dog man man!Blind my titanium eyes!
