Chapter 1394: Snake Shadow in the Dark Night
Liu Haiyu, Zhan Yunfei and Gui Guzan discussed and decided to return to the Golden Buddha Temple with Jin Yu Xiaoseng.
Then, the four of them left the Valley of Lost Souls.
Outside the entrance of the Valley of Lost Souls, Jin Yu Xiaoseng stopped.
He turned and looked in the direction of the Valley of Lost Souls, and the memory of the previous time in the Fengdu barrier turned page by page.
The little monk put his hands together and whispered in his heart.
"Friend Xu Yang, I know that the small piece of finger bone left for you is already in your body."
"With this piece of finger bone as a medium, if your life is in danger, even if I am thousands of miles away, I will feel it."
"Buddha bless you, I know you are fine now."
Jin Yu Xiaoseng looked up at the golden sun in the sky.
"The golden sun is in the sky, Fengdu is gone. I always believe that there is nothing you, Xu Xiaoxian, can't do."
"This time, the Fengdu calamity was successfully broken, and it must be your credit, my friend."
"Your courageous and fearless qualities are like the golden sun in the sky, which always gives people light and confidence."
"This time I have to thank you again for giving me the opportunity to bring the dead wood Dharma body of Master Jiuku back to the Golden Buddha Temple."
The monk Jinyu looked far away in the direction of the side peak of the Lost Soul Valley, and the third golden eye between his eyebrows flashed a few times, as if speaking with it.
"Now, Master Jiuku's condition is still very dangerous. I may not be able to save his life, but I must make the final effort."
"I can't waste time here. I have to return to the Golden Buddha Temple as soon as possible. I can't meet you for the time being."
The monk Jinyu remembered the scene when he and Xu Yang said goodbye to each other when they separated in the Fengdu barrier.
He stretched out his right hand, as if he was shaking hands with Xu Yang to say goodbye.
"Take care, my friend!"
After that, the monk Jin Yu turned around and ran towards the direction of the Golden Buddha Temple with the other three.
......
Lost Soul Valley, on the high slope of a side peak.
Xu Yang half-crouched on the branch of a big tree, looking at the monk Jin Yu who was leaving the Lost Soul Valley, and also stretched out his right hand.
"Take care, my friend!"
Xu Yang saw the monk Jin Yu and his four companions going away, and he relaxed all over and sat directly on the branch.
He stretched his waist, his muscles and bones creaked, his joints seemed like rusted iron, and the pain filled his whole body.
"Before, I was filled with the power of the ghost way in the Fengdu barrier. Although I withstood the pressure, I also consumed a lot of energy. I am indeed a little tired."
Xu Yang used the method of internal vision to check.
In his purple mansion space, the ghost way power that was trapped in it was in a chaotic state, like a black storm that was spinning but not dispersing and hanging there.
"This huge amount of ghost power comes from the underworld. It takes a long time to digest it slowly. If it suddenly explodes, I can't bear it at all."
The golden sun is slanting down, and the mountain casts a large shadow.
The wind blows, and the leaves are chilly.
"I have been sneaking all the way, but I haven't seen Yasha Longshe, Qing Guzi and Ping Yunjun. They are probably still in the Lost Soul Valley. But is there anything else in the Lost Soul Valley that would interest them? Could it be?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yang touched the black and white book on his head with his hand and took a breath.
"It's the black and white book," Xu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Book of Life and Death!"
After that, he looked around carefully, and there was no figure in his sight.
"I can't release my spiritual sense yet. Once I'm caught by those three, they will appear in front of me soon."
"With their minds cultivated for thousands of years and their powerful means, it's difficult for me to slip out of the Valley of Lost Souls easily. Next, I may have a conflict with one or more of them."
Thinking of this, Xu Yang picked up a few branches and leaves, made a hat, and covered the black and white book on his head.
"Even if I wear a green hat, it can't cover up the temptation of the black and white book to the world." Xu Yang smiled bitterly.
"What I need most now is to replenish my body in time. The vegetation here is lush and the wood attribute spiritual power is abundant. It's better to rest here." Xu Yang carefully observed the surrounding environment.
He first stabilized his mind, then sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.
Activating the body, performing the Qingmu Spirit Body Technique, the body surface emits a faint green light. When the green light converges, the breath merges with the big tree under him.
At this moment, even if someone stands under the tree, he can't find where he is.
"Wood Release - Wood Spirit Returns to Origin!"
The next moment, with his body as the center, a circle of soul power fluctuations swung out, and the nearby leaves seemed to be about to fly out of the branches in panic.
After a few breaths, everything quieted down.
The meridians in Xu Yang's body have been connected to the big tree under him as a whole, and through the roots of the big tree, they penetrated into the soil and quietly absorbed the spiritual power of the plants and trees within ten miles around.
The plants and trees were silent, and the body was surging.
......
The sky darkened.
The moon was like a hook, and the stars were like blades.
In the darkness, a pair of vertical pupils reflected light and swam towards the big tree where Xu Yang was hiding.
It was a black nocturnal snake, three feet long.
The nocturnal snake climbed up the tree trunk, circling around, as if looking for food.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if the snake found Xu Yang's location.
The reptile actually swam to Xu Yang's body, and the snake tongue it spit out almost stuck to the tip of Xu Yang's nose.
But at this moment, Xu Yang was like a wooden man, motionless.
The reptile circled around his body several times before reluctantly leaving.
At this moment, Xu Yang opened his eyes.
He released the Qingmu Spirit Body Art, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and replenished his body by 80%. The whole person was like taking a hot bath, and most of the fatigue in his body was eliminated.
He touched his head with his hand, and the black and white book was still there.
"Although the nocturnal snake just now looked like an ordinary snake, it actually had a trace of ghost breath on its body."
"This is strange. Ordinary snakes will die immediately if they are contaminated with ghost breath. And this snake is not a spirit snake, but it has abundant breath and agile movements. Then, there is only one possibility."
"This ordinary snake has been blessed with some kind of ghost magic."
Xu Yang suddenly thought of a person.
That was an old man with a body like a dry bone, raising a huge black snake, and he was a man standing at the peak of the ghost way.
"It's Lord Yasha Longshe! He is nearby!"
Xu Yang suddenly felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck and shuddered.
It was as if the man was staring at him in the darkness opposite.
Xu Yang raised his hand, and a leaf flew out. The night snake that had not walked far was beheaded by the leaf, and the remaining slender body twisted on the ground.
"It's bad," Xu Yang frowned, "It must be that the marks I secretly left on the way to find the monk Jin Yu were discovered by Lord Yaksha Dragon Snake."
He rubbed his hands anxiously.
"I left those marks so that the monk Jin Yu could find my trace in time and contact me as soon as possible."
"But those ghost marks are unique to the Heavenly Ghost Sect. They can be hidden from everyone, but they can't be hidden from Lord Yaksha Dragon Snake."
"I deliberately avoided all snakes, insects and beasts along the way. It's really a mistake."
"It seems that I can only take the initiative to deal with it. I must come up with a good solution as soon as possible."
......
In a small valley in the Lost Soul Valley.
Yaksha Dragon Snake, dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged, with a huge array diagram glowing faintly under him.
The light of the array diagram illuminated half of his face from below, which looked a little scary.
The shape of the array diagram was like a spider web, and there were countless tiny snake shadows on the array diagram moving in all directions.
Yaksha Dragon Snake twisted an ordinary leaf in his hand, and there was a mark like a demon's head on the leaf.
"The mark on this leaf is clearly from my Heavenly Ghost Demon Hall. It is really unexpected that the one who got the black and white book turned out to be a disciple of my Heavenly Ghost Sect."
"I carefully set up this snake-seeking array. The eyes of all snakes and insects in the entire Lost Soul Valley are the eyes of my Yaksha Dragon Snake. I clearly saw the back of that person, and he had the black and white book on his head."
"This little guy is very alert. He didn't stop too much along the way, so I didn't have time to accurately locate his location. But just two hours ago, no new marks were found. Maybe he found something. I think he must be hiding somewhere."
"But you can't escape from my palm."
Yaksha Dragon Snake's pupils expanded and shrank, and different pictures flashed on them. Hundreds of corners in the Lost Soul Valley were under his sight.
The night was getting deeper and the wind was getting colder.
Suddenly, Yaksha Dragon Snake stood up.
"Found it!"
He squeezed the leaf with his hand and conjured up a snake-headed ghost face. The leaf was swallowed by the snake-headed ghost face without leaving a trace.
"Young man, you were sleeping in the tree. It took me so much trouble to find you."
Whoosh--
Yaksha Dragon Snake's figure disappeared, leaving only a black snake shadow, which disappeared after a while.
......
In an open space in the Valley of Lost Souls.
Whoosh--
A green light fell, and a green branch emerged from the green light. The green branch rolled up and conjured up the appearance of a young man in green.
It was Xu Yang.
Whoosh--
A black snake shadow flew close to the ground, chasing and landing opposite the young man in green.
The snake shadow converged, revealing an old man in black robes, who was Yaksha Dragon Snake.
The two stood face to face, ten feet apart.
"What, little guy, you're not running away?" Yaksha Dragon Snake said contemptuously.
"I wasn't running just now, I was strolling. The night in the Lost Soul Valley is also a different kind of scenery." Xu Yang said, while stroking his chest.
Xu Yang muttered in his heart: "This Lord Yaksha Dragon Snake's snake escape technique is superb, I really can't outrun him."
"It's a dark and windy night for murder, it's really appropriate." Yaksha Dragon Snake put his hands behind his back, his momentum was like a mountain, and his words were like a knife.
"Xu Yang, a disciple of the Evil Ghost Hall of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, greets the ancestor of Yaksha Dragon Snake." Xu Yang clasped his hands slightly.
"Xu Yang? I seem to have heard this name somewhere. Oh, I remember. You have been in the limelight recently. You were expelled from the Heavenly Ghost Sect and then listed on the Evil God List and were wanted." Yaksha Dragon Snake said.
"That's because someone falsely accused me of colluding with the Western Region Demon Clan, so I was written on the Evil God List. How could I be an evil cultivator? Besides, the Western Region Demon Clan has now reached a peace agreement with the four major sects in the Northern Region. In a few days, I will go back to the Heavenly Ghost Sect to clarify the facts. I am still a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect." Xu Yang explained.
"I don't care if you are a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect or not, I just want the black and white book on your head. Hand it over obediently, and you can still survive. Otherwise, don't blame this snake master for being ruthless." Yaksha Dragon Snake went straight to the topic and said in a cold tone.
Xu Yang's heart tightened when he heard this, but he didn't change his face and thought:
"If I tell him the truth, the Black and White Book has already established a soul contract with me, and we can't separate them at all. The ancestor of the Heavenly Ghost Sect opposite will never give up the idea of asking for the Black and White Book. Killing people to steal the treasure is certain."
"This?" Xu Yang pretended to be embarrassed, "This Black and White Book was asked by Lord Pluto of the Underworld to keep it for me. If I hand it over casually, Pluto will definitely take my life."
"Pluto?" Yaksha Dragon Snake heard these four words and his whole body tensed up.
"Oh, Lord Pluto said that it was not convenient for him during the day, so he came to see me at night. Calculating the time, he has changed his time." Xu Yang saw that Yaksha Dragon Snake was a little nervous, and immediately made up a story.
Yaksha Dragon Snake looked back and forth, and suddenly laughed.
"Little guy, you are really good at using the power of others to deceive me. To tell you the truth, even if the King of Hell is here, I will definitely take the black and white book on your head."
As soon as the voice fell, the Yaksha Dragon Snake turned into a snake shadow with a grudge and pounced towards Xu Yang.
"Snake Escape - Snake Shadow Hunting!"
