Monster

Chapter 137 Monster

The huge map of the Five Mountains shone in the night sky, but from a distance, it looked like a low star that fell on the coffin mountain.

The river was surging on the banks of the river protection. Because of the dark stone walls on both sides, the river water looked extremely deep in the night, as if the water was black.

Because of the search for the swordsman in the city, merchants outside the parish were not allowed to enter in the past two days. But many of the merchants at the ferry even came from thousands of miles away, so there was no reason to return like this, so they all slept on the road, waiting for the ferry to reopen.

It was late at night, and these people had fallen asleep - although this place was not in the parish, since it was at the ferry, no one would do evil here, and because there were often people coming and going, there would be no big ferocious beasts.

So, when a woman walked along the road to the ferry, these people were still asleep.

She looked like a female warrior wandering the world, wearing a green outfit and a bamboo hat, the cloth covering it was torn but not dirty.

She stopped when she passed a sleeping vendor. The vendor was carrying a load of goods, and he was sleeping next to the load, with one hand on the bamboo cover of the cargo box.

The woman sniffed gently, leaned over to push the vendor's hand away, opened the bamboo cover, flipped through it, took out two dry biscuits, and then counted out ten coins and put them in.

She ate the biscuits while walking towards the ferry. When she arrived at the dock, she sat down and hung her legs over the water.

She was not beautiful, and her face looked a little weathered. If she took off her outfit, she would look like a thin middle-aged woman in a town who was busy making a living. She ate the biscuits in a similar way, biting and chewing with big mouthfuls, with bulging cheeks, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

After eating a cake, she seemed to feel dry in the mouth, so she picked her fingers. Then a line of river water flowed up and went straight into her mouth. She gulped and rinsed her mouth, spit it out, and continued to finish the second cake.

Then, she broke off a piece of grass stem with leaves beside her and picked her teeth carefully.

Then, she picked the leaf from the grass stem and threw it into the moat, then jumped up, tiptoed the leaf, and went straight to the other side.

At night, the fog on the moat was heavier. From this side of the ferry, it was white and almost pitch-black. But when she stepped on the leaves and walked into the river, she found that the water surface on the side of the moat near the coffin city was as calm as a mirror, without even a trace of water vapor - as if there was an invisible wall in the middle of the river that blocked all the fog outside.

The leaf stopped steadily in the rushing river. She stretched out her finger and touched the invisible barrier. A small piece of hazy light appeared at the contact point, but after a breath, her finger gently penetrated it.

However, she did not move forward, but raised her hand and grabbed behind her - a whole boulder immediately peeled off from the river bank and flew over through the mist. The woman raised her hand to catch the stone, as if it was light as nothing. Then she pressed it behind her, and the boulder was hit into the water, with only a shallow section exposed. She sat down on the boulder and looked up in the direction of Coffin Mountain.

…

The body of Coffin Mountain is all gray-black rocks, but because of this, when climbing on the rock wall at night, it is almost impossible to be discovered.

Zeng Jianqiu did not take the mountain road, but climbed up the almost straight cliff on the east side of Coffin Mountain with his bare hands. A thin layer of flesh and blood had grown on the torn part of his chest, pink, and slightly rising and falling with the beating of his heart. The wound on the palm of his left hand, which exposed the bone, had slowly begun to heal. However, because he was climbing hard, the wound that had just healed was worn open by the rocks again, and it was still a bloody mess.

He realized that he was really not as good as before. When fighting with Zhao Kui, all his blood and qi were stimulated, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to recover. But now the wound has not healed for a long time, and the essence in his body is getting weaker and weaker. He felt that he was going to fall off the cliff several times.

In this state, without a flying sword, what should he do when he reaches the top of the coffin mountain?

He didn't know!

He didn't know what to do when he reached the top of the coffin mountain. There are more than 30 Qi-refining cultivators in the coffin city, and they should all be on the top of the mountain now. Moreover, there is a real artifact of the Five Mountains True Shape Map, and he can't beat them.

But now, except for there, he has nowhere else to go.

He was determined to die when he came to the coffin city. In his life, he was born extraordinary, and he was also extraordinary after leaving the coffin city. He had been a swordsman for decades, and he couldn't die of old age lying on the couch in the end.

He should die in battle!

When he reached the top, he might be able to help Li Wuxiang - that kid was cunning and slippery, and he had many ways. As long as he was given a chance, he should be able to escape. And if he died in the coffin city, died in the hands of those monks or Wu Meng, it would be a good end!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath in his chest, and after dozens of breaths, he finally climbed over the cliff.

He looked at the light of the Five Mountains True Shape Map in the distance in the dense forest, and walked quietly along the edge of the woods. When he was getting closer and closer to the high platform, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from two or three steps away to the left front. He stopped immediately, and the sound disappeared.

After holding his breath for a while, Zeng Jianqiu pursed his lips and imitated the call of a turtledove. Immediately, two "cooing" sounds were heard from the other side, and Pan Muyun poked his head out.

Zeng Jianqiu frowned and glared: "Didn't I tell you to wait on the mountain outside? I'll just come to see him!"

Pan Muyun sighed: "I'm afraid you're seriously injured, I..."

"Hurry up!" Zeng Jianqiu pushed him, "That guy has many tricks up his sleeve, I'll just drag him for a while!"

Pan Muyun put his finger in front of his lips: "Shh, don't worry, something seems wrong. Come and take a look."

Zeng Jianqiu was stunned: "What's wrong?"

He followed Pan Muyun a few more steps into the forest, getting closer to the high platform, and saw everything in front of him clearly——

Li Wuxiang was sitting on the top of the high platform, directly under the real artifact of the Five Mountains, with a rope tied around his body, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be restrained.

Under the high platform, there were about twenty monks from the True Form Sect. But they did not go to the stage to catch Li Wuxiang, but were talking to another monk.

The monk, with short eyebrows and big eyes, turned his back to the high platform and faced the more than 20 people at the bottom of the platform. He looked unhappy—

"...Yes, but this is the previous order of the mountain master. He said that if he is restrained, he will be suppressed under this real weapon. Look at how many brothers have died here? They were all killed by him. , This swordsman has a powerful treasure in his hand. I spent so much effort to keep him there. If you want to touch him, wait for the mountain master to come and see what he says! "

The other monks looked towards the stage, and one of them said hesitantly: "When the mountain master called us just now, he said that we should be killed without mercy if we see anyone. Senior Brother Liu, you..."

The man called Senior Brother Liu looked anxious: "Then why don't you just wait for the mountain master to come? How long will it take for the mountain master to come from the house? Look at the blood here! You can't wait even a quarter of an hour? ? You have to go on your own. If you are harmed by him, don’t blame me for not warning you! If you are worse and ask him to run away, then think about how to get the punishment from the mountain master!"

A group of people under the stage looked at each other in disbelief. Senior Brother Liu snorted angrily and walked away: "I leave this place to you, just take care of it. You can go up if you want!"

After saying this, he walked towards the forest. Several monks seemed to want to stop him and say a few words of relief, but he threw their arms away and walked straight into the woods.

After he left, the monks below the stage looked at each other in confusion for a while, and then whispered something to each other. As expected, no one came up and continued to surround the high stage.

The direction in which Senior Brother Liu walked into the forest was exactly where Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun were. The two exchanged glances, immediately held their breath and concentrated, holding the dagger in their hands. They all lost their flying swords, and Zeng Jianqiu was seriously injured. Pan Muyun was in the realm of refining qi and becoming a god, so he should not be as good as this "Senior Brother Liu" who could restrain Li Wuxiang, but if he waited until he got closer, Sudden attack——

Senior Brother Liu stopped and was four or five steps away from the two of them.

Did he find out? ! Zeng Jianqiu was about to shout and take action when he heard Senior Brother Liu say in the darkness: "Zeng, Pan, Helian?"

Silence fell in the forest. After three breaths, I heard Zeng Jianqiu's voice: "You..."

"I'm Lou He."

Senior Brother Liu took another step into the darkness, his face changed, and he looked like Lou He.

The two of them were still silent.

Lou He frowned: "Have you come out of Lingshan? This is troublesome. Li Wuxiang wants to rush to Jindan on the stage, just to rush into the underground to destroy the coffin mountain and lure Wu Meng out - how did you come out? Where is Wu Meng now? It's difficult. Now that you are out of trouble, he is surrounded. Where is Helian? "

"Helian is dead." Pan Muyun said, "Wu Meng should be coming to Coffin Mountain. Senior Brother Lou, aren't you trapped?"

"Helian...I..." Lou He sighed, "If you have a chance, go ask Li Wuxiang about this matter."

Seeing that the two of them were still silent, Lou He looked in the direction of Zeng Jianqiu: "He is rushing for the golden elixir and borrowing the power of the coffin city. He... If you don't believe that I am Lou He, just ask me something. Zeng , come and ask me about Li Wuxiang."

After a while, Zeng Jianqiu said: "We are going to rescue Li Wuxiang, will you go?"

"If you really want to save him, just find a way to stop Wu Meng and wait until he reaches the golden elixir."

Pan Muyun was stunned: "Golden elixir? Senior Brother Lou, what do you mean by this? He just practiced Qi a few days ago. What golden elixir are you talking about? Is it the golden elixir I was thinking of?"

"yes."

"He wants to use his wish power to form a pill? Is he crazy, Brother Lou, are you crazy too!? How can he pass these two hurdles of refining qi to transform into a god, and refining a god to transform into a void? Let alone forming a pill! He is seeking death! Really? No one from the Xingjiao School would dare to do this!" Pan Muyun stepped out and looked at Lou He, "Besides, how long do you want us to hold Wu Meng back for one year or two years? Senior Brother Lou, you..."

Lou He looked in the direction of Zeng Jianqiu: "Yes, I know. It will take many years for ordinary people to practice cultivation and not be afraid of going crazy to turn their wishes into elixirs. But you can ask Zeng about this and listen to what he said about Li Wuxiang Okay, am I crazy?"

Zeng Jianqiu breathed out slightly in the darkness: "Old Pan, I told you that Junior Brother Li has a special life experience, and this is what he means. His ability to cultivate vows is faster than ours. But Senior Brother Lou, what I want to ask is the same as Lao It’s the same as Pan, let alone forming pills, how can he get through the two hurdles of transforming into a god and transforming into a void?”

"I don't know what you are going to do in Coffin City. You said you would ask Li Wuxiang later, and I believe you. But if you want to put him here so that you and I can leave...Senior Brother Lou, I My youth is exhausted, so it’s more appropriate for me to do this!”

Lou He was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "He has passed these two hurdles. Half an hour ago, he was already in the state of refining qi and transforming into a god. A quarter of an hour ago, he was already in the state of refining the god and transforming into a void. Just like I just said Yes, he is forming the elixir now. That’s why I stopped those people below the stage and didn’t want you to save him - no one in this coffin city can be his opponent when his golden elixir is completed.”

"Even if Wu Meng invites the True Spirit of the Five Sacred Mountains down again... then he has a greater chance of fighting Wu Meng than you do now to save his life."

Pan Muyun took a breath of cold air and looked towards the high platform again.

At this point, he looked carefully and finally could see clearly.

When people of the Sword Sect form elixirs, their energy and blood are extremely full, and they will have visions of red clouds and red clouds around them. Li Wuxiang wanted to use his wish power to make a pill at this time, but his energy and blood were not enough, so he was forced to come up, so he didn't notice it when he looked at it just now.

But when he looked closer, he saw that Li Wuxiang had a faint layer of light all over his body. The light was restrained and attached to his skin. If he just looked at it, he would think that it was just a real weapon with the true shape of the Five Mountains on top. It was reflected, or it was subject to some restrictions.

This is a sign that the golden elixir is about to be completed and the elixir's power is released!

He... is really going to form a pill! ?

What a monster this is! ?

Zeng Jianqiu also looked away. After a moment, he realized that he was grabbing the bark on the side with his hands and had peeled off a large piece of it.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time. I thought it was a dead end, but it turned out to be a way of life. I should be very happy.

But he also felt that there were still some sour emotions in his heart. This emotion was like a bit of hot iron slag in his heart. As soon as the thought touched him for a moment, he immediately avoided it - this thing shouldn't exist! He gritted his teeth and told himself not to think about it: "Okay! Let's stop Wu Meng! At least one of us can survive!"

Lou He shook his head: "Don't be forceful. Think of a way. If you and Wu Meng start fighting, how long can you last? The longer you delay, the better."

After he said this, he was stunned for a moment, immediately jumped up to the treetop, and jumped down again: "Wu Meng is on the mountain road and will be there immediately. Zeng, you... go and admit your mistake to him and say that you understand everything about him." Painful——"

Zeng Jianqiu sneered: "Do you think he will believe it?"

Lou He frowned and was about to speak again, but heard Pan Muyun say: "Old Zeng, do you still remember what Zhao Qi told you in Lingshan?"

"What words?"

"If Li Wuxiang is here... just call me daddy!"

"Bah! You've given up on this idea!"

…

After walking up two inclined roads, you will reach the top of Coffin Mountain. When he was at the bottom of the mountain, Wu Meng leaped forward and swept away two or three feet of ground.

But when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he heard neither the roar of fierce fighting nor the noise of people. Wu Meng knew that the traitor had either not arrived because of serious injuries, or he was already lurking in the forest on the top of the mountain, waiting for the opportunity.

It doesn't matter either way. The man at the top named Li Wuxiang should have been captured. If we catch him, it will be easier. The Jedi Tiantong restriction in Coffin City is still there, and they cannot get out. Those two beasts are like beasts. As long as they see their fellow disciple being tortured, they will definitely not leave and will try to save him!

Isn’t Jian Zong very bloody? ? Then let out more of this blood!

He slowed down his pace slightly, and after walking slowly for a while, he raised his hand to touch his face - it was slightly itchy when he went up the mountain, but now that the feeling was gone, he raised his hand to pull off the bandage, and touched his face again. Has been restored to its original state.

He threw the bandage away and turned aside——

I saw a man sitting in a pool of blood on the side of the stone path leaning against the cliff.

Wu Meng was stunned for a moment - it was Wu Jianqiu who was sitting there. His head was tilted to the side, his eyes still open. The huge wound on the chest had a thin film of flesh, undulating indistinctly, and the flesh and blood organs inside were vaguely visible.

Seeing himself, Wu Jianqiu's eyes moved, and his chapped and pale lips opened.

Wu Meng immediately sneered: "Inverse——"

"……father."

The last word suddenly choked in his mouth, and Wu Meng raised his eyebrows: "What did you call me!?"

Wu Jianqiu slowly turned to look at him, his chest heaving, his lips moving, and he was speechless for a long time. Wu Meng glanced at the top of the mountain again, and seeing that there was still no movement, he stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Don't you...want to know why I went with Lou He?" After Wu Jianqiu said this, he slowly took in a breath and made a sound like a bellows in his chest, "Then what I asked you before, you remember Already? Let me ask you, whose surname is Zeng?”

Wu Meng's expression calmed down and he remained silent.

"My wet nurse's surname is Zeng, do you still remember?"

"Before she left, I just thought she was a wet nurse. It was Lou He who told me that there was no such word... I looked for it again and found out that she had also gone to Coffin Mountain."

"Can you understand... why I... followed Lou He?"

Wu Meng looked at him, took in a breath slowly, and exhaled it slowly: "Oh, it's because of this."

"Haha, what a... good one..." He couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "What I thought before was right, it's really... like an animal. Nizi, you know the difference between humans and animals is Where?"

"Animals only know how to act based on instinct, but humans understand etiquette and enlightenment and can use enlightenment to restrain their nature. Don't take things that are not yours because of etiquette and enlightenment. Lust in the heart is not for the sake of passing on the family line, so it must be suppressed. Blood ties and family ties, Blood relationship? Haha, the reason why people are human is because they don’t put this kind of animal instinct above etiquette and education!”

"You have known the rules of Coffin City and Zhenxing Sect since you were a child. The old, weak, sick and disabled should go to Coffin Mountain to hide their spirits and nourish their energy. This is the way of human relations and heaven! Because she gave birth to you, isn't it okay? You gave birth to such a bad person Dirty thoughts, no shame!”

Wu Jianqiu looked up at him, leaned against the cliff and shook his head, saying in a low voice: "Yeah... I have been away from Coffin City for so long that I almost forgot that Coffin City is like this. Zhao Qi, haha, what the hell? , what is it called..."

Wu Meng stared at him expressionlessly for a while: "Okay. Anyway, you know that if you call me daddy, I will treat you as a little repentant. Because of this sentence, I will never do any of the wrong things you did again. I won’t send you to Coffin Mountain anymore.”

He raised a hand, took a few steps back, and pointed his fingertips at Wu Jianqiu's chest: "But you rebelled first. If you can turn back the prodigal son, I can forgive you just like I forgave Lou He. But you have caused trouble to the coffin. Cheng, harming your fellow disciples is already a capital crime that I cannot forgive. After you die, I will save your soul and ask you to go to the underworld and be reborn as a human being. "

Wu Meng's fingertips were clear and hesitant. But just as he was about to send it out, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from the sky above his head. He was startled and immediately raised his head to see——

On the top of the sky filled with brilliant stars, a slowly rotating cloud had gathered at some point, almost encompassing the entire Coffin City, and was condensing into a huge whirlpool that pressed extremely low.

In the whirlpool, countless golden electric snakes swam and rumbled, making the clouds flicker in and out, as if they had become a huge black-gold eye, overlooking the world!

The next moment, a terrifying power suddenly came down from the zenith, and the trees on the top of Coffin Mountain whined, like ghosts roaring. They all lowered their heads in response to the sudden strong wind from the ground, and then the sound of branches bursting could be heard endlessly. It also carried large pieces of smoke, dust, dirt and rocks, and rolled them down from the top of the mountain!

This is - thunder! ?

...something! ?

...What is going to survive the tribulation on Coffin Mountain? !
