Chapter 532 A Kui
Chapter 532 A Kui
Within the dense mist, a small and graceful outline was slowly approaching and gradually becoming clear.
She was actually an extremely exquisite and cute little girl. She looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old. She wore a western-style pleated skirt, revealing her calves that were as smooth as jade. Her ponytail hair was loose, and her features were delicate. Her skin was as white as porcelain. Her pair of large black and white eyes were exceptionally agile, shining with a pure and hot radiance.
The corners of her lips were crimson, as if she had just eaten a bloody scar left behind by a living creature. She held a strange black thing in her small hand that was as slender as a snake. At the other end, it extended into the mist, unable to see the whole picture. She did not know how long it was, but it was very geometric. It should be a living creature, still struggling from time to time.
Before this little thing appeared, Gu Tianyou and Hu Rumeng's Taotie Dao Forms felt a tremendous pressure.
There must be demons when something unusual happens.
In Gu Tianyou's opinion, whether there were any demons in this world should no longer be a controversial topic. The so-called demons are just mutations in the evolution of all species. After living for a long time, evolving a human-like mind was called a monster, but in the end, it was still an animal. It wasn't strange, let alone unbelievable.
Man, who pretends to be the spirit of all things, is often puzzled by the phenomena that exist in the natural universe forever. For example, all things do not want to live, so they have to live. All things do not wish to die, they have no choice but to die.
Evolution may be regarded as a peak of modern biology, but Darwin could not explain the evolution of all species accurately. For example, his claim that humans evolved from apes was unreliable. However, he was very accurate in summing up the nature of preference for creatures. It can be said to explain the principle phenomenon of bio-transformation in a scientific way. It was much more direct than the mysterious and difficult-to-understand narrative style of the Taoist Sect's classic Tan Zihua Shu.
The little girl's barefoot, pitch-black hair was still wet. When she saw everyone, she immediately became alert. She looked around Gu Tianyou and his group. Finally, she stopped her gaze on Hu Rumeng and Gu Tianyou and asked, "Who are you?"
The little girl's appearance was extremely abrupt. Chu Lingshan was worried that something might happen in Wolf City. She quickly asked, "Who are you?" He pointed at the black thing in her hand and said, "Did you catch it in the Dormant Well?"
The little girl looked at Chu Lingshan vigilantly and put her hands behind her back. "My name is Kui. They promised me this little hook snake, not yours."
This childish action made people laugh, and also made everyone behind Gu Tianyou less vigilant.
Hu Rumeng looked at her and suddenly asked, "You said your name is Ah Kui, which Kui?"
"A-Kui is A-Kui, how do I know which one?" The little girl tilted her head to look at Hu Rumeng and said, "How could you, a glutton, ask such a strange question?"
Hu Rumeng's expression changed slightly. His Taotie Dao Form did not originate from Xiantian. This little girl was actually able to see through it with a single glance. It could be seen that his background was extraordinary. The three-whip old demon was secretly surprised. He guessed the little girl's origin in his heart and forgot to answer her question for a moment. She said that the creature in her hand was called the hook snake. This thing was also an ancient beast. There was a note in the water scripture that said, "There was a snake in the mountains first. It was seventy to eighty feet long, and there was a tail at the end of it. The snake was in the mountain stream water, and it was eaten by humans and oxen on the tail bank."
The dozens of meters long poisonous hook snake was held in her hand and was regarded as a dragon beast by the people of Mount Yin Wolf City. However, there was no room for struggle in her hands. How could such a strange thing not arouse everyone's curiosity?
Others were confused, unable to understand the mysteries behind it. Only Gu Hu and the other two had profound cultivation, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. They knew that there were many strange things in the world, and their spiritual nature had its own Heavenly Daos to follow. They were definitely not ordinary people who could be measured. This little girl had a keen eye, and her words revealed Hu Rumeng's Taotie Soul Form. Her astonishing words aroused Gu Tianyou's interest, and he asked, "Little sister, look at my origin again."
The little girl was naive and didn't know how to refuse to hide anything. She looked at Gu Tianyou, tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "You are also a glutton, but you are still a fool. Both of you seem to be stronger than me." After saying that, he sighed and said to himself, "After sleeping for a year, I thought there wouldn't be so many powerful people in this world. I didn't expect to meet three or four of them the moment I woke up."
Gu Tianyou's three Soul Dao Forms were Great Sun True Yang, Chaos, and Taotie. This chaos was all-encompassing, but it was still ignorant. This foolish egg was most likely referring to chaos. "You said that this hook snake was given to you by someone else just now. Who did you come with?"
The little girl said honestly, "It's a few very powerful Xi Rong people from the Great Western Region."
"Great Western Region? Xi Rong people?" Gu Tianyou was slightly surprised and guessed, "Are you talking about a blonde Westerner?"
The little girl said, "That person has blue eyes. His hair is as black as mine and his skin is especially white. There are seven of them. They woke me up when they were killing people in the south a few days ago. Then they said that there were treasures left behind by their ancestors. They asked me to come here and get the treasures. This little hook snake was promised to me by the guy I couldn't beat."
Gu Tianyou glanced at Hu Rumeng and then at everyone behind him. Yelu Mingyue said, "Big brother, looks like Wolf City is in trouble."
Chu Lingshan and Qin Xiaoxiao asked in unison, "How long have they been inside?"
The little girl answered bluntly, "You two are too weak. I don't want to answer your questions." He then said to Gu Tianyou, "The old man with the hook-snake below wants to catch the snake I fed him, The old man raised the hook snake to eat the gentian inner pill. This snake is so fast that it can transform into a spirit body. The gentian inner pill has already reached its climax, but I ate it. Of course he refused, so he chased it out of the well and was caught by those people. "
"Where's Uncle Can?" Chu Lingshan hurriedly asked, "What did they do to him?"
The little girl still looked at Gu Tianyou and said, "That old man didn't have much ability. He was knocked down by that Edwards in three or two seconds. I pity him for raising this hook snake and let him go. Now he ran in and went to look for those people to fight for his life."
Gu Tianyou said, "Since you went in with those people, why did you come out alone?"
The little girl said, "These Xi Rong people are the worst, I saw them go to war in the east before I fell asleep last time, "That battle lasted for many days. Apart from fighting against the Shennong Dragon Race, these Xi Rong people also liked to catch all kinds of animals for research. Many of their formed companions were captured by them and never returned. They used potions and knives to connect humans and demons, turning them into new species. Let alone disgusting."
Hu Rumeng suddenly said, "I think I know where she came from."
Gu Tianyou glanced at Chu Lingshan and Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Chu Huaixiu came all of a sudden. Perhaps she was already at a disadvantage. What I'm most worried about is that he treated those people as us and didn't investigate the plot for a while. It's true that I didn't kill Bo Ren. Bo Ren died because of me, so it's important to help Wolf City. Let's talk as we go."
Yelu Mingyue pointed at the little girl and asked, "What about her?"
"Of course I have to go with you," the little girl said briskly. As he said that, he threw the hook snake tail into the roadside pond and clapped his hands, "You two are stronger than Edwards. Your team is also stronger than that team. Furthermore, I like your Shennong dragons. Although your bloodline is already impure, it is still much more comfortable than those stinky Xi Rong people."
… … … …
The Great Desolate Scripture records that in the East China Sea, there are Flowing Waves Mountain, seven thousand li into the sea, beast-shaped like an ox, with no horns, and a foot. Every time it appears, it will be accompanied by wind and rain, and its sound is like thunder, and its name is Kui. From the outside, there were only three of them in the world. During the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor captured one of them, using its skin as a drum and bones as a hammer. The sound of the drum pierced through the clouds and intimidated the world. Thus, he defeated Chiyou, and the world was decided. The second was obtained by the First Emperor. The First Emperor imitated the Yellow Emperor's method and made it into a war drum. However, the First Emperor did not have the same merits as the Yellow Emperor. The war drum made by this Kui was no longer miraculous. The only remaining third Kui had transformed into a woman to avoid being hunted and sank into the mortal world.
Hu Rumeng was indeed worthy of being a genius. She was a scholar of heaven and earth. In a few words, she pointed out the origin of the little girl and said, "Kui's lifespan is endless, and its growth is extremely slow. The way he counts years is different from others. He does not respect the solar calendar, but uses a distant galaxy in the universe as a calendar ruler. Three thousand years is one year. Her so-called sleeping for one year means sleeping for three thousand years." Even though she looks like a teenage girl, she has existed in this world for tens of thousands of years in terms of lifespan. "
"Many legend left behind by that primordial era are still unsolved mysteries, include Kui and many other demons, perhaps high-level creatures from other planets. In oral legends, they were passed down as demonic beast, gods and devils, possessing many unbelievable divine abilities, but in reality, they are only Dao seekers like you and me," he added.
As they spoke, everyone arrived in front of a stronghold. Gu Tianyou looked up and saw that the stronghold was made of white marble. A dragon pillar stood on the left side and a strange-shaped monster crouched on the top. It was carved from some unknown material. Its entire body was pitch black like ink, and it was a living dragon. It was none other than Long Bazi Hui. On the right, an ancient astronomical instrument made of scarlet metal was strangely erected. It was facing the northwest, as if there was still power supply.
Chu Lingshan walked straight to the bottom of the astronomical instrument and stretched out her hand to touch the mechanism. Her expression changed as she said, "This place has been destroyed. They have already entered!"
Everyone raised their heads to look at the stronghold. It was at least two to three hundred meters tall. The barrier was smooth and the flying snakes were difficult to climb. All of them had bitter expressions on their faces. Hu Mofei asked, "Isn't there any other way to enter?"
Chu Lingshan said, "Yes, there is. I just need to take a long detour. I'm afraid it's too late." He said it anxiously like something.
Luo Yi walked over and said, "What kind of mechanism? Let me try."
Chu Lingshan said, "This is a mechanism personally designed by Elder Sister Innie of Grandpa Hu's family. How much ability do you have to repair it?"
Luo Yi chuckled and said, "If I can't fix it, I'll be responsible for transporting all of you up." As he spoke, he arrived at the mechanism activation device below the celestial instrument and carefully looked at it. With a face full of admiration, he said, "It's really a good thing."
He skillfully removed his backpack from his back. Stretching out his hand, I don't know what I did, Not long after, his entire arm was already wrapped in a set of metal armor. He activated the armor mechanism and automatically ejected a few tools. He extended his arm into the mechanism's activation device and said while tampering with it, "This thing is very clever in design, but its principle is not complicated. Even if it is damaged, it can still be temporarily closed. It will definitely be fine if it is used a few times."
Rumbling sounds echoed endlessly as vibrations came from beneath her feet. Immediately after, a door suddenly opened. Chu Lingshan and Qin Xiaoxiao led everyone into the door quickly. The little girl, A-Kui, hesitated for a moment and followed suit.
It felt like a high-speed elevator, ascending all the way up to the fortress in an instant. Everyone followed Chu Lingshan all the way in. Along the way, they saw rows of wooden houses, but there was no one else. They went about five hundred meters deep. Apart from a few corpses, none of them were breathless.
Chu Lingshan's face was deathly pale. She led everyone to run at full speed and arrived outside a particularly eye-catching large building complex at the fastest speed possible. "This is the location of the main altar of the Wolf City Outer Manor. My grandfather was originally waiting for you here," she said.
Gu Tianyou narrowed his eyes and comforted, "Don't worry, there's someone fighting inside. Your grandfather should be fine."
Hu Rumeng sensed it and said, "A-Kui didn't lie. There are seven people with special auras. This person who attacked is very impressive. According to the method of dividing the strength of the Westerners, this thing is almost at the peak of the seventh level."
A few people walked into the mansion. Their voices came from the courtyard on the second floor. After crossing the two doors, they saw two people fighting in the courtyard. One was a bare man covered in shiny golden fur, while the other was a skinny old man. His white hair was rustling and full of scars, and his neck was covered with snake skin sores. He used the Snake Fist. Judging by the standards of a martial artist, this person's serpent fist martial arts had already reached its peak.
This snake fist belonged to a small fist type, and there was no formal routine in the pictographic fist. There were very few martial practitioners who used the snake fist to enter the Dao. This person's movements were as if he had completed a soft technique. His entire body was as soft as a sponge, lively and energetic, exceptionally sensitive. When he came into contact with the opponent, his hands and legs were as hard as iron, and he could change between the soft and hard as he wished. Clearly, he had already obtained the true essence of the fist dao.
Hu Rumeng couldn't help but praise, "Qi swallows and swallows, mainly composed of calm and gentle Qi. It is like snake Qi. It is well-versed in every step. If you are too weak, when you encounter something, your Qi will be more restrained than a brave man. Refining Qi, you can move your waist spiritually and push it up and down with your two fingers. If a snake has two tongues, and wandering, you will have no choice but to stop it." The so-called "Refining a hundred times into steel and turning it into a soft ring of fingers" was nothing more than that.
Gu Tianyou said, "He is too old. His talent is limited, and he has no fate with the Dao. No matter how high his martial arts is, he will not be able to break free from the limits of his body. He won't be able to last for long."
Chu Lingshan pointed at a middle-aged man under the corridor and said, "That's my grandfather. The one fighting is Uncle Can."
Li Chen volunteered, "Master, let me go up and give it a try!"
