Chapter 1359: Under the Abyss
Three days passed like this, and Xian'er was still lively by nature, playing happily with the fairy deer and rabbits in the fairy valley all day long, as if she had forgotten what happened that day.
But during these three days, Xiao Chen always felt uneasy when he thought of the strange valley abyss that day. This feeling was somewhat similar to when he was a child in Ning Village. Since he went to the back mountain that time, he had nightmares all night.
The scene of the strange abyss often appeared in his mind, especially when he was in a state of meditation and enlightenment, he even felt like he was at the bottom of the abyss, shrouded in darkness and coldness, but when he opened his eyes, he still saw the fairy valley in front of him, and Xian'er's laughter came from afar, and the sun became brighter.
After every time like this, he would break out in a cold sweat on his back.
"Brother, brother..."
At this time, Xian'er's laughter came from a distance. She ran over, blinking her big watery eyes. Seeing that Xiao Chen was a little distracted again, she muttered, "Brother, what's wrong again? Are you worried about the bad guy outside..."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden shock outside, scaring the fairy deer and rabbits in the fairy valley to flee in all directions.
"It's the bad guy outside..." Xian'er was also startled and hid behind Xiao Chen.
"Xian'er, don't be afraid."
Xiao Chen stood up, frowned slightly, and stared at the direction outside the valley. He thought that some time had passed. Could it be that Taoist Qingdeng couldn't sit still outside? Calculating the time, those immortal cultivators outside should break in...
Just then, the deep voice of Taoist Qingdeng suddenly came from outside the valley, "Several days have passed, are you still not going to come out? When those people outside come in, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave even if you want to..."
"Brother, can he come in?"
Xian'er looked outside nervously, as if she had forgotten that this was the formation she activated. As long as the spirit of the formation has not completely dissipated, Taoist Qingdeng can't come in no matter how powerful he is.
"Don't worry, he can't come in now."
Xiao Chen's eyes were fixed, but he knew that this was not a solution after all. The spirit of the formation outside was getting weaker and weaker, and that person would come in sooner or later...
But although the spiritual energy in this immortal valley was abundant, it couldn't make him break through the last obstacle and couldn't make him step into the holy realm. What should he do now? Once that person breaks in, he will definitely capture Xian'er this time...
Back Valley...
At this moment, the only thing Xiao Chen could think of was the strange abyss behind the valley. Over the past few days, the strange abyss has always made him uneasy, and even has an extremely dangerous aura coming out...
But in addition to these, there is another feeling, which he can't describe. In short, he must go down and take a look. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is still unknown.
"Brother, are you going to that terrible place again..." Xian'er seemed to see what he was thinking and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chen slowly came back to his senses and gently stroked her face. "Xian'er, are you afraid?"
"Yeah, yeah..."
Xian'er kept nodding and frowning, saying, "Xian'er is afraid, brother, you, don't go to that place, okay? Xian'er saw it in her dream, saw it..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually choked up, and she saw tears were about to fall. Xiao Chen immediately took her into his arms and patted her back gently. "Xian'er, don't be afraid, it's okay..."
"Wu... But Xian'er, I'm really scared, so scared of that place, brother, let's go out, okay? Don't be afraid of that bad guy, Xian'er is actually not afraid of him at all, let's go out now, okay..."
But looking at her two red and watery eyes, with tears on her face, anyone who sees her will feel distressed.
"Xian'er, don't be afraid, it's okay..."
Xiao Chen gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, but couldn't help sighing in his heart, why was Xian'er so scared of that place? Could it also be related to what happened ten thousand years ago...
No, he must go down there to take a look. When he was a child, he was still in Ning Village, and he often had terrible nightmares. There were also those immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas who had long passed away, and they seemed to have been following him all the time.
"Woo...Brother, do you have to go there?"
Xian'er wiped her eyes and sniffed again. Seeing that Xiao Chen had made up his mind, she sobbed and said, "Then, then Xian'er is not afraid... Xian'er and brother will go together."
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head, thinking that since she was so afraid of that place, she should stay in this fairy valley.
And he could feel that under the abyss, there was a condensation of the aura of ancient gods and demons. Even though he had the Three Corpses Demon, he was not afraid, but Xian'er was the purest ancient fairy spirit. How could she be polluted by the aura of gods and demons?
"Xian'er, be obedient and stay here. Brother will be back soon, okay?"
"Woo... But Xian'er is afraid. She is afraid that her brother will not come back after he leaves..."
"Silly, how could that be possible?"
Xiao Chen gently stroked her face. The warm sunlight shone on him, so bright and flawless.
Everyone said that he was a cold and ruthless master of the devil, but in front of this girl, he was so gentle as water.
It turns out that even a cold person has a tender side. Moreover, no matter what happened over the years, how could he really wipe out the original tenderness in his heart.
The sword is a cold sword, the heart is a cold heart, the cold sword and the cold heart...how could it be ruthless.
...
Under the abyss, the devil's breath rolled. Xiao Chen arranged Xian'er in the fairy valley, and then came alone to the top of the abyss of this strange valley.
This place is like a place abandoned by the gods. Even the sun cannot shine here. Cold, lonely, and dead air have become everything here.
No life can be seen here, let alone the immortals and beasts, not even a flower or grass can be seen. There are only jagged rocks and countless dead bones buried under the rocks.
As soon as Xiao Chen landed, he felt a bone-chilling cold, as if it came from the depths of the underground where the sun never shines. Then, in his ears, there were continuous shrill cries of ghosts. But when he looked carefully, the cries of ghosts in the sky disappeared again. It turned out to be just an illusion.
Everything was like the long-standing nightmare in his childhood, surrounding him, like a thick fog that could not be dispelled;
The footsteps became slow and heavy. Stepping on this cold and dark abyss, there was only deathly silence, spreading endlessly forward.
"Zheng!"
With a clear sword whistle, a little light finally appeared in the dark abyss. Xiao Chen sacrificed the Chongxiao Sword, which was a famous sword from ancient times and could break the evil spirit.
In this way, he walked forward for an unknown period of time, and the front still seemed endless. Xiao Chen even suspected that what he was stepping on was the bones of the immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas...
"Shashasha!"
The aura of gods and demons in front was getting heavier and heavier, and at this time, a series of phantoms suddenly appeared on both sides of the abyss...
These... were the immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas from ten thousand years ago!
However, they were residual images, without any breath, just residual images left here.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's expression became more and more solemn, because he saw that the residual images of these gods and demons were also looking at him at this time, as if they could see him.
And the next moment, the residual images of gods and demons at the bottom of the abyss actually bowed down to him, as if to welcome his return.
