Chapter 13: The Nine Gases of the River Styx
Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on a lonely cliff, but there was a magic weapon floating in front of him that emitted the brilliance of green méngméng, he spewed out a stream of aura from his mouth and nose, wrapped in this thing and hung in the air and rolled back and forth, from time to time to play a magic trick, but the movement was getting faster and faster, and there was a rumbling sound, showing that the cultivation of a certain magic weapon had reached a critical moment.
Mu Hongchen sat upright on a rock not far away, and behind her sat a girl with an appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, with her hands on her cheeks, and kept looking at Zhang Yan with curious eyes.
The sound of footsteps came, and a girl wearing a purple dress and holding a jade flute walked over, she tilted her face and complained: "Senior sister, how long do we need to wait for that Zhang Daoyou?
As early as three days ago, they had arrived here, but when Zhang Yan came to fulfill the contract, he suddenly felt that the jade plate that was being sacrificed on the eve was beating gently, and that trace of true knowledge actually took the initiative to come out to echo him, and he immediately knew that the time to refine this treasure had come, if he missed it, who knew when he would have to wait, so he didn't delay, just said hello to Mu Hongchen, and chose a place to sit down and practice.
The three disciples of the Agarwood Sect couldn't leave because of their faces, and if they were to be his protector, it would be no wonder that the girl in purple was dissatisfied.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this complaint, Mu Hongchen, who was originally in a hurry, did not respond, but said comfortingly: "I've been waiting for three days, are you afraid of waiting a few more days? ”
The girl in purple pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
After another hour, Mu Hongchen suddenly heard a clear whistle and couldn't help but look sideways.
Zhang Yanshen was solemn, his hands kept going, and he continuously entered dozens of magic tricks, and now the magic weapon hovering in front of him was spinning faster and faster, and when he arrived at Zuihou, this jade plate was shocked, turning into a white light and flying into his forehead.
Feeling a little admiration coming from the jade card, Zhang Yanlang laughed, stood up with great energy, floated down from the cliff, and said to Mu Hongchen: "Mu Daoyou, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Mu Hongchen hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Where, congratulations to Daoyou for receiving a magic weapon, I don't know where this treasure comes from?"
Zhang Yan smiled but did not speak.
Mu Hongchen knew that Zhang Yan didn't say anything, so she didn't ask anymore, and shouted: "The two junior sisters still haven't come to give Zhang Daoyou a gift?"
The purple-clothed girl reluctantly came up to salute and said, "Qi Yelan has seen Zhang Daoyou." Her expression was cold, and it was obvious that she was still worried about Zhang Yan for making them wait a few more days.
"Oh, you can go. The dark-skinned girl jumped down from the stone, and also came up to salute, but the action was awkward, and at the end, she grinned herself, turned her head and ran away.
Mu Hongchen shook his head helplessly and said, "Senior Sister Hu Jue was born in a Rouke clan and doesn't practice etiquette, don't blame Zhang Daoyou." ”
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "I've been waiting for many days, so I should say this next." ”
A chuckle came from Mu Hongchen's veil, she turned sideways, pointed to a gap in the mountain wall in front of her, and said, "Fellow Daoists, please look, this is the entrance to the River Styx." ”
Zhang Yan turned his head to look, and saw that this gap was shaped like a strange mouth, and a trace of dirty and thick black water could be seen seeping out inside, and the scene was like a bleeding wound, and it also exuded all kinds of sad and inexplicable aura, knowing that what Mu Hongchen said was true.
Mu Hongchen hesitated slightly, took two steps towards Zhang Yan, handed over a small bottle in his hand, and said in a low voice: "This is what you are allowed to give to your fellow Daoists." ”
Zhang Yanshen took it calmly, opened it in front of Mu Hongchen, sniffed it carefully, and after making sure that it was Akashi Rǔ, he put it away with a shake of his hand, and then nodded to her.
Mu Hongchen must be in his heart, and said: "This Styx River is deep in the leyline, and a lot of obscure and ghostly qi has poured up, this gas is divided into nine layers, one layer is more powerful than the other, the master has been there many times before his death, and it is determined that this Styx Demon Treasure should wander up and down between the fifth and sixth layers, although the path of the first four layers has already been explored by the teacher, but if it goes deeper, it will be necessary for Zhang Daoyou to release Zhima Guo to help." ”
Zhang Yan smiled and responded: "It should be like this." ”
Mu Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned, "Zhang Daoyou and the two junior sisters, please come with me." ”
She took a few steps forward, got up first, turned into a red light and threw it into the crack of the mountain, this obscure and cloudy atmosphere, and buried deep in the dark place of the mountain wall and the earth, not to mention the complicated path, even if the cultivator's eyes are only within seven or eight zhang, since they can't fall too far behind, it is very easy to mí road, it is because Zhang Yan and the two girls are driving away to keep up. ..., this obscure aura is forced out of the River Styx by a lot of miscellaneous gases, the first layer is the dust and filth of the air, mortals take a breath, their limbs will be sore, fainting on the spot, but of course it is nothing to the monk.
Mu Hongchen has been here more than 20 times, so he is familiar with the road, bending left and right in the mountain gap, and he has gone for dozens of miles in a moment, and the three people behind him have also followed closely, never half a point behind.
After another bend, the road ahead suddenly widened, and it was already the second level.
This layer of ghostly qi is called "Cai yīn turbidity", although it is a few points more powerful than the first layer of ghostly qi, but the four of them also turned a blind eye, but for half an hour, they also passed easily.
However, from the third layer onwards, it is not so simple, this layer is called "Tong Qi Filthy Qi", if you stay for a long time, even a cultivator will be short of breath, and the aura around the body will not work smoothly.
There are many roads here, and the entrance to the Xiangxia layer is even more difficult to find, don't look at Mu Hongchen at the moment like an old horse, the speed of the light is getting faster and faster, it takes several years to get out little by little, if the people who come here for the first time have no one to guide the way, they will definitely not be able to walk here in one breath.
This layer is walking very fast, and in less than a moment, it will go down to the fourth layer, where the ghost qi is called "rootless dirt qi", as long as ordinary monks inhale a little, they will be dizzy, their limbs are sore, and the aura in the body will slowly leak out unconsciously, and if they are not careful, they will die here.
Therefore, after arriving here, everyone is not as relaxed as before, and they all release the Xuanguang Protector, and then they look at the gap between them.
Mu Hongchen's body was red and fierce, like a newborn sun opening the way in front of him, and the ghostly aura disappeared by his sweep.
And Qi Yelan's body is like a light purple sè xxx, and when it is released, the fragrance is fragrant, and she carefully forces those ghosts away, refusing to let a trace of it in.
Hu Jue Xuanguang took the initiative to go out and whip like countless long whips, and those ghostly qi were scattered, although it seemed to be extremely powerful, her cultivation was far inferior to the two senior sisters in front of her.
Qi Yelan looked at Mu Hongchen, who was crossing the ravine in front of her and her body was not hindered in the slightest, and she couldn't help but envy in her heart, and said secretly: "Senior Sister's cultivation is getting better and better, but it's a pity that this agarwood mystic method can only be practiced by the big disciple of the sect, but after getting the magic treasure, I guess I can also learn a more sophisticated method." ”
She secretly glanced back at Zhang Yan, but saw that he was wrapped in a blue and faint fog cloud, although it was also easy to read, but compared to the dazzling color and fragrance on their bodies, the strange fragrance of the Xuanguang was too inconspicuous, and said in her heart: "What's the difference between my Dao Mingcang faction, it turns out that it's just like this." ”
At this time, he heard Mu Hongchen in front of him say in a deep voice: "Ahead is the fifth layer of 'Absolute Death Qi', everyone be careful." ”
Qi Yelan's heart was in shock, and she was busy collecting her mind and running the Xuanguang on her body with all her might.
This "trick of death qi" is not as good as the first four layers of the ghostly qi, this qi can plug the seven orifices, close the yīn yang, once contaminated, it will be like a maggot tarsus, causing the human eye to not see, the ears can not hear, the nose can not smell the qi, if the Ming Qi monk comes here, if he can't treasure the body, he will die in a moment.
Mu Hongchen, who was opening the road in front of him, let out a snort, shook away the dead air a little, raised his wrist, and sacrificed a delicate and unique oil lamp.
As soon as this lamp appeared, it dispersed a lot of dead air like black silk, and the haze disappeared within ten zhang, and the upper and lower walls could be seen clearly.
As soon as Mu Hongchen raised the lamp, a circle of colored light was released.
"This lamp is called the Heart Protector Lamp, which is refined in front of the teacher, can break through the darkness, and is not afraid of evil, among which the lamp oil can burn for three days and three nights, you can speak with confidence, but there are many yīn demons in this fifth layer, Zhang Daoyou, two junior sisters, you must be careful. ”
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, waved the sleeves of his robe, and threw a bottle of pill to each of the three women, and said, "This is the Divine Determination Pill, which can help you resist the demon." ”
Mu Hongchen took the Dan bottle, and at first he didn't understand what it meant, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately solemnly arched his hand like a man, and said, "Thank you Zhang Daoyou!"
She thought to herself: "This time I really invited the right person, this Divine Pill has the purpose of resisting the demons in the heart, with this thing in hand, there is no need to be distracted, when you get to the front, there is a demon blocking the way, and you can also give full play to your own strength, this Divine Pill is very rare, when you have this Divine Pill, you will not be afraid to go crazy, ordinary monks are reluctant to take out a pill, I didn't expect this Zhang Daoyou to shoot is three bottles, worthy of being a disciple of the big faction." ”
These bottles of Tranquility Pill were not specially prepared by Zhang Yan, but were left after the previous trip to the Demon Xué.
For him, the mere yīn demon is naturally not in his eyes, if it is a more clever demon, this fixed god pill will have no effect, so it is just taken out to do favors.
When she arrived here, Mu Hongchen did not continue to move forward, but took the heart protection lamp and shone a few times around, as if she was doing something ordinary, and after a while, she pointed to a mark on the wall and said: "This is it, I saw the demon hidden in the gloom here last time," she turned around and said: "Please also ask Zhang Daoyou to release Zhima to find out where the demon treasure is at the moment." ”
At the same moment, at the entrance of the River Styx, two figures also flashed over, it was Ni Qianying and the girl in pink.
Ni Qianying looked down, and said in a deep voice: "Jiāojiāo, you are guarding here, I need to go down, if I can grab the demon treasure in front of Hongchen Nanizi, it will be done." ”,
The pink-clothed girl was a little worried, and said, "Uncle Shi, after you leave, there is no one in the Agarwood Palace, what if there is a big enemy to attack?"
Ni Qianying snorted coldly: "The Agarwood Palace has been fine for a hundred years, who will look at it in such a desolate place? Besides, how can that little family business be compared with the ancient demon treasure? After I take the demon treasure, if Hongchen Nan Nizi is willing to obediently give up the position of acting head, I will let her go, and if not, I will kill her here!"
