Chapter 692: Life-Calling Garden (Second Update)
"Peach Garden?" There were not many books related to the ancient heaven, and Meng Qi had even fewer. If he had not signed a contract with Gu Xiaosang and had to make relevant preparations, he would have been completely in the dark on this trip. However, Peach Garden was one of the few places he knew without looking through books!
When he read Journey to the West before, he had drooled over the peaches. Some ripened once every three thousand years, some ripened once every six thousand years, and some ripened once every nine thousand years. Eating the peaches would make you immortal and live as long as the heaven and earth. Although his memory was already fuzzy and a little wrong, the feeling of salivating was still fresh.
He looked around, and there were peach trees in all shapes and sizes, some grew into giant trees, and some towered over the sky. The only thing they had in common was that the branches and leaves were withered, the bark was sparse, there were no fruits, and the whole body was bloody, like a demon tree that had absorbed enough blood.
And the ground was bloody and terrifying, as if it had been soaked in enough blood for thousands of years!
This strange bloody feeling made Meng Qi alert. There was a stream of fire on his left hand, and he and Tian Zhishang were on the left and right, concentrating on sensing the surroundings.
The ancient heaven fell inexplicably, who knows what changes have taken place in the Peach Garden!
As soon as his spirit spread outward, Meng Qi felt that he was trapped in a sea of blood, which soaked himself, dissipated his spirit, and obscured his spiritual sense.
The blood was swaying, and terrifying power was contained in it!
Meng Qi quickly retracted his spirit and dared not spread it anymore. He used his Eight-Nine Mysterious Art to operate at full power to sense danger.
Gu Xiaosang had a plain face and deep eyes, and people could not tell her joy, anger, sorrow, and sadness. At this time, she was silent for a while and suddenly chuckled: "This is not the Peach Garden, it is clearly the Soul-demanding Garden. Husband, remember one thing, don't look back, don't stop, and don't take anything, otherwise you will be doomed."
Can't look back, can't stop, and don't take anything? Gu Yaonu knows so much... After opening the seal of the ancient thunder god, Meng Qi felt that his influence on Gu Xiaosang was greatly reduced. He was particularly wary of her turning against him and couldn't help thinking more about her words.
According to the contract, she couldn't harm him secretly, that is, she couldn't lie to him and trick him into a trap, but she could completely conceal key information and watch him "die".
No matter how tender and beautiful Gu Yaonu was, Meng Qi never let down his guard in his heart.
I will do whatever she does later... Meng Qi said in a deep voice: "Why can't I turn back or stop?"
Gu Xiaosang smiled sweetly, beautiful beyond words: "This is a long story. Other powerful people in the myth may find clues at any time. Let's pass through as soon as possible. Husband, don't you believe me?"
Her eyes turned to tears, and she said faintly: "Do I have to save you a hundred times before you believe my heart?"
The old words were mentioned again, and Meng Qi's mouth twitched. He knew that no matter how much he asked, the demon girl would not tell the truth, so he remained silent and walked with Gu Xiaosang, and really set foot in the Peach Garden.
The footing was soft and there was a feeling of being stuck in the mud. Meng Qi took a breath, lightened his steps, and moved forward quickly.
This place belongs to the heaven, so naturally he can't fly!
Just after taking a few steps, Meng Qi suddenly felt dangerous in his heart. It seemed that there was an enemy spying from behind. Subconsciously, he was about to turn his body, raise his knife and swing his sword to react first.
But at this time, he saw Gu Xiaosang walking lightly in white boots, as if he was strolling in the garden, and he didn't seem to have any premonition of danger.
"Can't look back, can't stop..." Meng Qi's mind suddenly flashed with Gu Xiaosang's words just now.
He took a deep breath and calmed his tense emotions. He resisted the urge to turn around and attack. The witch shouldn't joke with her own life!
The sense of danger did not disappear. Meng Qi felt a thorn in his back, which was more tiring than carrying a thousand-pound burden.
He took one step at a time, and suddenly a cold wind blew. Even with Meng Qi's physical body, he couldn't help shivering.
At this moment, he felt a figure passing by from behind!
His hands holding the knife and sword were tense, and Meng Qi took great efforts to resist his instinctive reaction.
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Gu Xiaosang again, and saw that she looked at her nose with her eyes, and her heart with her nose. She was holy and unworldly, like a bodhisattva who had descended to the world, but there was an inexplicable haggardness between her eyebrows, her eye bags became heavier, her skin lost a little luster, and her forehead turned blue. She didn't get older, but seemed to be one step closer to death!
"You..." Meng Qi reminded in astonishment.
Gu Xiaosang turned her head, and her beautiful eyes like a deep lake reflected Meng Qi's own appearance. Her forehead was blue, her face was haggard, and she felt that the end of her life was near!
Meng Qi was startled, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Xiaosang's moist lips slightly open, and whispered: "Don't be surprised, I will find a way to make up for it after I get out."
The voice was pleasant, like an oriole coming out of the valley. Meng Qi took a breath, and his footsteps did not stop. He stepped on the blood-soaked ground and walked to the other side of the Peach Garden.
There were figures passing by behind him, and the coldness stimulated his skin. Meng Qi moved forward with superhuman will. This time, he didn't need to look at Xiao Sang's eyes. He could feel that his body and soul had changed inexplicably, and it was a bad change!
Suddenly, a golden figure in front of him came into Meng Qi's eyes, and the strong and terrible breath came with the meaning of decline.
Golden Armored Heavenly General! A great master of Dharma!
This frightened Meng Qi so much that he almost stopped, but fortunately he woke up in time, stopped reacting, and continued to move forward.
The Golden Armored Heavenly General knelt twistedly, his body forward, his head back, "looking" at Meng Qi and Gu Xiao Sang. His state was very strange. He was obviously full of energy and blood, but he had no vitality, as if his life had stopped at its peak!
This is completely different from the frozen vitality that Meng Qi encountered before at the South Heaven Gate!
"Looking back, he looked back..." As soon as he saw the posture of the golden armored general, Meng Qi tasted the strangeness. This general looked back!
So, he died strangely?
The Dharma master also died strangely!
What is so strange in the Peach Garden? Why didn't the general know that he couldn't look back, but Gu Xiaosang knew?
Huh! The cold wind blew, and Meng Qi suddenly felt a figure standing a few steps behind him!
Crack, Meng Qi's left and right hand joints made a crisp sound, and he almost turned back to attack, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
"At the last moment, as long as you don't look back, you can attack with your back." Gu Xiaosang blinked his eyes, smiling, as if he was teasing Meng Qi's nervousness.
At the last moment... Meng Qi repeated these four words, and the nervousness did not affect the calmness of his heart at all.
Passing the golden-armored general, the blood became thicker and thicker as he walked forward. At first, the soil was soaked in blood, but now it felt like blood was overflowing. Meng Qi felt that his feet were slippery and slippery, as if he was stepping on poisonous snakes.
"Hmm?" At this time, Gu Xiaosang opened her mouth slightly, but her steps did not stop.
Following her gaze, Meng Qi looked intently and found that not far ahead, where the blood overflowed the soil, a head was exposed, with a protruding forehead, big ears and white beard, a cracked head, and the neck below seemed to have turned into mud. The blood that soaked the entire Peach Garden came from here!
It looked a little familiar... Meng Qi frowned slightly, thinking that he seemed to have seen this head somewhere before!
"Longevity Star." Gu Xiaosang lowered his eyes.
According to legend, the longevity star who controls the life span and can live as long as the heaven and earth actually died in the Peach Garden?
Who killed him?
As soon as Meng Qi's heart was stirred, he felt someone blowing from behind, cold and icy, from the neck into the collar!
The sense of danger reached its highest point. Meng Qi's head was fixed forward. Tian Zhishang suddenly stabbed backwards. The blade was covered with a layer of purple lightning. Gu Xiaosang pressed his hands lightly. There seemed to be layers of ribbons in the void!
…………
The purple thunder dissipated, the vortex turned into a door, and two "myth" members wearing black robes walked out of the clouds next to them. One was Beidou Xingjun, and the other wore a mask of the ancient sun god "Xi"!
"Sure enough, it was opened. The top three layers of the Nine Heavens..." Beidou Xingjun said in a hoarse voice.
Xi lowered his hands and stepped forward: "We will pass the message first, and then follow in to explore the way for the Emperor of Heaven and prevent the Daluo demon girl and the crazy knife Su Meng from getting precious things."
"Follow in?" Beidou Xingjun said hoarsely, "The situation above is unclear, it's best to wait for the Emperor of Heaven."
The Nine Heavens disappeared inexplicably. Who knows what will happen? It is the wisest choice to have a Dharma master to accompany you!
"No problem, this is the Peach Garden." Xi said lightly.
Peach Garden? Beidou Xingjun looked at him in surprise. How did he know the layout? Another adventure?
…………
"It's open." Han Guang looked at the misty sky, and his handsome face like a god or devil showed a smile.
Gao Lan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud bang. Someone broke into this fragment of heaven!
Han Guang narrowed his eyes and looked at the entrance:
"It's really one thing after another."
