Chapter 672 Blood Moon Rises and Gu Xuan Appears
Ye Yang's heart suddenly tightened, and the scene in front of him made him shudder.
It was a figure he had never seen before, but it felt inexplicably familiar.
The man raised his head, his pale face covered with blood and dirt.
The eyes are sunken, but there is a strange light shining in them, which is filled with despair and pain, and at the same time is mixed with a hint of subtle cunning.
"Who are you?"
Ye Yang frowned slightly, looked at the man in front of him, and then spoke. '
"You are not a child or a demon."
The man stood up slowly, his movements slow and stiff. In this dungeon full of rain, countless blisters had appeared on his body.
Every step he took seemed to be in great pain.
As for the tattered clothes on his body, they were already in tatters, and his exposed skin was covered with marks of whipping and burning. The condition was so miserable that people couldn't bear to look at it.
"who I am……"
The man repeated Ye Yang's question softly, his voice hoarse and low.
"Well said, who am I? I also want to know who I am?"
"I used to be the king of this ancient Qingqiu country, but now, I'm just a loser."
"But why do I feel a familiar smell on you? That is. That is"
He was a little unimaginable at first, and then he seemed to think of something he was hungry for. There was a trace of surprise on his face, and he patted his forehead as if he thought of something.
"I remembered it. It's the information about that mysterious thing. What you're holding is the corpse-shrouded red wedding dress!"
Ye Yang was shocked and said nothing.
Ever since the young monk who was still in the ventilation realm got this corpse-wrapped red wedding gown, this thing has been in his hands for more than a hundred years.
Especially during his initial practice, he helped him resolve crises several times.
Now that it was suddenly mentioned, people felt an indescribable suffocation.
Ye Yang's eyes instantly became alert.
He never told anyone about the "Red Wedding Dress".
This mysterious and strange thing has the ability to swallow immovable cities, and it can also control strange things.
Quite precious.
But now, this person could recognize this treasure even before he saw it, which made him more wary.
"How do you know about the red wedding dress that wraps a corpse?"
Ye Yang's voice was low, with a hint of threat in his tone.
The man smiled bitterly and shook his head. His eyes penetrated the darkness in front of him and looked towards the distant past.
"There is nothing in the ancient Qingqiu country that I don't know. This is a magical thing inherited from the ancient Qingqiu country. Once you put it on, you can gain the power of bad luck and at the same time bear the curse of the entire world."
"Those who have acquired it since ancient times have never had a good death."
Ye Yang fell silent.
No one had said this to him before.
The strange fox fairy I met before also said the same thing.
Her original words were
I am already so miserable, and I cannot bear all the misery on my own in this world.
This time he came to look for the boy demon, but unexpectedly he met this mysterious and crazy man.
He was still frowning and didn't speak. At this time, the man spoke again.
"You came to Qingqiu Ancient Country to find bad luck for Master White Fox, right? Come on, it must be like this."
Ye Yang could tell that this person's status in the Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom must be of great importance, and he might even be the previous White Fox Dharma Lord, the king of the Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom.
This is consistent with the logic of what he just said.
However, after all, this is the first time I have met this person, so there are many things that cannot be delayed.
He changed his tone.
"Fellow Taoist, I didn't know that you would meet a boy-like monk in this water prison."
The person he was talking about was naturally the boy and the demon, and the result was just when Ye Yang said these words.
In the water prison, the water roared, and after a while, a boy-like monk emerged from the water waves.
At this moment, his face was full of fear, and he swam desperately towards Ye Yang.
"Fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist, I am a child and a demon. Please save me. This person, this person is simply not a human being. He treats me as a plaything, playing with me day and night, and even wants to eat me."
The man laughed loudly and didn't take it seriously, but spoke.
"I'm not a human, I'm a fox. Isn't it natural for foxes to eat humans?"
After he finished speaking, he held Tongzi Tianmo in his hand, then stretched out his big, skinny and yellow hand, and gently pulled Tongzi Tianmo's head.
The boy demon was spinning in the water prison like a top.
At the same time, there was a wanton and happy laughter.
Ye Yang knew that this man had been detained in the water prison for too long, so he treated the boy demon as a plaything.
Seeing this, he quickly stopped him.
The man just stopped what he was doing.
Ye Yang said.
"Tongzi Tianmo, let me ask you, when a group of you entered the alien demon abyss, did you see a short man with crocodile dragon arms?"
The boy demon raised his head, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a glimmer of hope appeared.
"You mean fellow Taoist Gu Xuan?"
"Exactly this person."
"I wonder where he is now?"
Hearing this, the boy demon showed a slight expression on his face and sighed.
"Years ago, I was imprisoned here with fellow Taoist Gu Xuan, but later he was taken away by the people from the Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom because he was in the hands of the eight-armed evil dragon. He was said to be raised and tamed into an ancient dragon. Then offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.”
"I haven't seen him in years."
Ye Yang frowned slightly after hearing this, obviously a little surprised by the news.
"Can you give me more details?"
The boy demon thought for a moment, but he didn't have time to answer.
The figure beside him has already spoken.
"Let me tell you, in the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom's heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the more precious the blood of the monks and monsters sacrificed, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the benefits will be gained."
"The monk you mentioned must have been chosen as one of the sacrifices."
"Furthermore, this heaven-sacrifice ceremony was presided over by Dharma Lord White Fox himself."
After he finished speaking, he laughed loudly and looked at Ye Yang, vaguely seeming to be expecting something.
"It's Dharma Lord White Fox again..."
Ye Yang took out a breath and repeated the name, weighing something in his heart.
"I dare to ask senior, what level of strength has the White Fox Master achieved?"
The man seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Powerful, really too strong."
"As for how to be strong, just ask the person next to you."
Ye Yang turned to look at the boy demon.
The boy demon took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the fear in his heart, and spoke slowly.
"The White Fox Master's strength is unfathomable, at least it has reached the Tiangang realm. There are eight of us, and there is even an old demon king from the demon kingdom on the ground. However, we were scattered by one attack without even getting close to him. And escape."
"I think he should have touched the threshold of Dharma Realm."
"That kind of coercion is so powerful that it almost makes the whole world tremble."
"In the end, it was entirely his intention to save our lives. Otherwise, the few of us together would not be able to withstand one of his hands."
Ye Yang fell into deep thought, which was beyond his imagination.
Regardless of whether it is Tiangang or Dharma Realm, it is almost the top existence in the world of cultivation.
Facing such an opponent, even with the Heavenly Spirit Ship on the side, the total number of people on his team may not have a full chance of winning.
However, now that we finally have information about Gu Xuan, we must find a way to rescue him no matter what.
At this moment, it seemed that he thought of the difficulty of action.
Even the boy demon fell silent.
"On the night when the two moons are in the sky, all the fox people will sacrifice to the sky on the Santu Snow Mountain. At that time, the guard will be relaxed, or there will be an opportunity."
The man spoke and told a big news.
Ye Yang could hear the meaning behind his words, and he really hoped that he and the others would confront Master White Fox.
However, if it is as he said, this is a conspiracy, and no one can avoid getting into it.
The boy demon broke the silence.
"Fellow Taoist, I have said everything that needs to be said. I wonder if it is possible to save me from this canopy water prison."
Logically speaking, since the boy demon told him so much information, he should save him.
(two)
However, the matter is very important. If he is rescued now, it will definitely attract the attention of Qingqiu Ancient Country.
Now is not the time to take risks.
Ye Yang sighed.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment, now is not the time to rescue you."
Tongzi Tianmo naturally knew the meaning of what Ye Yang said, and he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, he had been trapped in this dark dungeon for so many years.
I met another old lunatic who had advanced cultivation and treated me as a plaything.
Now that I have finally found a chance to escape, my hope is suddenly shattered, and naturally I feel a little uncomfortable.
However, after all, he is a strong man in the realm of real people, and he also knows the seriousness of the matter.
He said to Ye Yang.
"I also hope that fellow Taoist will remember me. After I find fellow Taoist Guxuan, I must rescue me and get him out."
After finishing speaking, he sighed.
"I am a casual cultivator and have been a lone traveler all my life. A lone traveler is free, but if he encounters any danger, he will not have the help of his relatives, children, and friends."
"Forget it, if I am lucky enough to get out of this alien demon abyss, I will build my own power no matter what. It is better than turning my body into dust a hundred years later and having no one to collect my body and bury it."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the man behind him stretch out a pair of giant hands, grab his thighs, and throw him into the air like a plaything.
"You guys... I am an upright real-life monk, not your toy."
…
After coming out of the canopy water prison.
Ye Yang returned to the Tongtian Spirit Ship and waited patiently.
Unknowingly.
The Tongtian Spirit Ship has been parked at the edge of Qingqiu Ancient Country for some time.
During this time.
Ye Yang and others have been quietly waiting for the day when the two moons are in the sky, and have not taken any rash action.
In the second month.
A blood-red heavy rain fell between the sky and the earth, and the heavy rain fell from the sky like a pouring water.
After the blood-red heavy rain fell, there was an overwhelming fog, covering the entire sky.
Even two suns appeared in the Alien Demonic Abyss, emitting a faint red light.
Ye Yang and others were surprised.
At the same time, he also discovered that with the fall of the blood rain, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom rose by a level.
Obviously, the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom’s heaven-sacrifice ceremony is about to begin.
Ye Yang used this time to conduct more detailed observations near Santu Snow Mountain.
He found that as the date of the sacrifice approached, the internal vigilance of Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom had indeed increased, but at the same time, the guarding strength in some non-core areas had been relatively weakened.
During this period, in addition to the white-headed fox people near Santu Snow Mountain, a large number of green-headed fox people and black-headed fox people also appeared.
Even some human monks.
This discovery gave him peace of mind.
This night.
Ye Yang received a message.
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, it has been confirmed that the ceremony of worshiping the heaven is about to begin, and everything is proceeding according to the original plan."
"According to the time, the day of sacrifice will be in two days. This is the best opportunity."
"The White Fox Master will also appear at that time, and the alert inside the snow mountain will be reduced to a minimum."
"I wonder if there is an antidote there, Your Majesty. I've been in so much pain during this time..."
After reading the news, Ye Yang did not respond immediately.
Instead, after destroying the jade slip, he gave orders on the Tongtian Spirit Ship.
Always be ready for battle.
He knew this was a critical moment and there was no room for error.
…
As night falls, the lights on the Tongtianling Ship are brightly lit.
As the night gradually deepened, two moons appeared in the sky, and the ground illuminated was silvery white.
With the appearance of the moon, Ye Yang's heart became calmer for some reason.
All preparations are now in place, just waiting for the time to come.
The next morning, when the first ray of morning light shone on the ancient buildings of Qingqiu Ancient Country.
Ye Yang stood on the deck and looked into the distance, silently praying that everything would go smoothly for this operation.
On the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the terrain shook, and the spiritual energy was like a sea, boundless. Along with this spiritual energy, there was a colorful glow.
Like a gorgeous ribbon, it dances gently in the air, gradually converging into a radiant beam of light that shoots straight into the sky.
As this force continues to rise.
The entire ancient country of Qingqiu seems to be covered by a layer of soft and sacred light, and the air is filled with a light fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Ye Yang stood on the Tongtian Spirit Ship, staring at everything in sight.
He knew that the sacrifices of the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom had begun.
He could feel that as the ceremony progressed, the spiritual energy around him became stronger and stronger, and he could even clearly see the threads of spiritual power flowing in the air.
Gradually, the sacrifice has reached its peak.
"Shu Xingzi, now!"
Ye Yang shouted low and winked at Shu Xingzi, who immediately understood and disappeared into the night in a flash.
At the same time, Ye Yang and the three-headed demon dogs also took quick action and used the terrain cover to approach the interior of the snow-capped mountains.
This Santu Snow Mountain covers an extremely large area, and is surrounded by a strong aura. Going deep into it seems to make breathing much easier.
As they went deeper, the cold wind became even colder.
The three-headed demon dogs looked around vigilantly to ensure that no potential threats were approaching.
When Ye Yang and others finally reached the deepest part of the snow mountain, their eyes suddenly opened up, and an open area appeared in front of everyone.
On the altar, a white-headed fox priest wearing a gorgeous robe was waving the scepter in his hand. Every wave would cause a strong wave of spiritual energy, which moved everyone present.
"Looks like we arrived just in time."
Ye Yang whispered, while staring closely at the movement on the altar.
"Shu Xingzi, how is the situation?"
Not long after, Shu Xingzi returned quietly and whispered a few words in Ye Yang's ear.
After a while, a majestic voice came from the altar.
"When the blood moon rises, sinners die. If you people dare to come to the ancient Qingqiu country, are you ready to die?"
Ye Yang looked up and realized that there were countless fox monks standing on the top of the snow mountain, with a group of people standing one layer inside and one outside.
In the middle of the circle, several people were tied up with iron chains. They were obviously prisoners.
One of them, short in stature and with a haggard look on his face, was Gu Xuan.
It’s just that Gu Xuan’s situation is not good at the moment.
His clothes were all torn, there were a lot of blood stains on his body, and his aura was extremely weak.
"You old guys are all like old bastards. You are not dead yet, but it is absolutely impossible to survive today."
Beside these people stood a tall man with a fox head, a trace of impatience on his face.
"This little old man's vitality is quite tenacious. He was deprived of the hand of the eight-armed evil dragon, and his blood flowed back and failed to transform him into a savage beast. He is still alive."
Ye Yang's heart sank suddenly. Gu Xuan's figure made him realize that the situation was worse than expected.
Someone on the altar responded, with a bit of ridicule in his voice.
The tall fox man snorted coldly and stared at Gu Xuan with dagger-like eyes.
"No matter how stubborn you are, sooner or later you will die."
Gu Xuan seemed to have heard their conversation, but he did not react at all. He just lowered his head quietly, as if he had given up all resistance.
"I have been living in this ancient Qingqiu country for so long. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today."
"I don't know how the sect is developing now. Without a strong man in the realm of a real person to suppress one side, I don't know if it still exists now."
As the priest's words fell, a burly axe-wielding man came out soon.
He walked up to a man, picked him up, turned him upside down, took out a sharp ox-ear knife, and stabbed it directly into the man's heart.
Blood gushed out instantly, and the man struggled a few times, but it was useless. The blood spurted out and soon dyed the snow-white ground red.
There was silence at the scene, only the sound of blood dripping on the stone altar echoed in the air, which was creepy.
Ye Yang knew that he had to find a chance to rescue as soon as possible.
Shu Xingzi whispered.
"The guards here are strict, and it is definitely not possible to break in by force. We have to think of a way to distract their attention."
Ye Yang quickly thought of a countermeasure, and his eyes swept over the imprisoned monks.
Suddenly, he noticed a pile of firewood for sacrifice not far away, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
"Shu Xingzi, go to the firewood pile over there and light a fire. Move quickly to avoid being discovered. Three-headed demon dog, you are responsible for covering and attracting the enemy's attention."
The plan was made.
Shu Xingzi shuttled through the night like a black shadow, and soon, the firewood pile was ignited with raging flames.
At the same time, the three-headed demon dog suddenly grew larger and more ferocious, covering the sky and the earth, opened its huge mouth, spit out flames all over the sky, and let out bursts of low roars.
The sound echoed in the valley and immediately attracted the attention of most of the fox people.
"Who?"
At this time, the fox people on the altar had discovered their whereabouts, and they were extremely angry and roared to the sky.
