More than half of Reverend DaoXuan's face was shrouded in shadows, indistinct. Towards Tian BuYi's voice, he seemed to turn a deaf ear, did not react at all, still quietly sitting there.
Tian BuYi stood and looked at him for a moment, did not say anything, but the expression on his face, grew heavier. His lips moved slightly, striding forward, walked to Reverend DaoXuan's side, less than three chi away from him on another praying mat, also sat down.
In the great hall, silence.
Southern border, ten thousand great mountains, scorched black mountain peaks.
Along the way, the eerie ghost howls grew louder and louder, the Yin wind that came from nowhere also howled incessantly, blowing on people's bodies like knives, if not for Ghost Li and Jin PingEr's profound skills, just this ghost wailing and the cold Yin wind, would be enough to drive them crazy.
The surrounding eerie atmosphere became more and more intense, both of them also became more cautious, but until they reached the bottom of the valley, where they could see the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave's deep and dark entrance, they did not encounter any danger or ambush. This place that was like a ghost town, was unbelievably quiet, not to mention there were no ferocious demon beasts, even the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that were seen everywhere since they entered the ten thousand great mountains, were all nowhere to be seen.
This eerie place, seemed to be the safest place in this barren land of ten thousand great mountains …
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr stood on a small hill, gazing at the ancient deep cave, indistinctly they could still see, the stone statue standing at the entrance.
Both of them frowned slightly, at this moment, the unexpected peace, brought them even greater worry.
Jin PingEr pointed to the cave entrance, said, "That is the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave, when I was following that black-attired man here, I saw with my own eyes the Beast Deity being reborn from this cave."
Ghost Li nodded slightly, and then looked around the cave, other than that bottomless dark cave entrance, the cave was surrounded by vertical precipices, grotesque rocks, and several zhangs above the cave, close to the stone walls, was a thick layer of black clouds, slowly moving in the air, like a water cloud. Looking at that thick black colour, without asking, it must be a highly toxic substance. At first glance, an ordinary person would definitely have nowhere to go. It was a land of death.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ghost Li pondered for a moment and said, "Shall we go in?"
Jin PingEr hesitated slightly. She was silent for a long while before finally nodding her head and said, "Forget it. Since we are already here, how can we retreat and advance. Let's go!"
Ghost Li glanced at her, saw that Jin PingEr's expression was strange, her face also looked slightly pale, clearly she still had some misgivings about that mysterious cave. Actually not only her, even the monkey Xiao Hui on Ghost Li's shoulder, seemed to have changed its temper and appeared especially quiet.
As if she felt something, Jin PingEr turned her head and looked at him, suddenly smiled, revealing her beautiful white teeth, smiled and said, "I am fine, let's go!"
Ghost Li nodded his head and walked ahead. Jin PingEr followed behind him, slowly walking towards the Subdue Devil Cave.
The sound of their footsteps stepping on the hard scorched black rocks, was quickly drowned out by the incessant whistling Yin wind. The closer they got to the entrance of the ancient cave, the stronger the Yin wind became, the colder the eerie cold air contained in the wind.
By now, both of them had already discovered that the source of the Yin wind that filled the mountains and plains, was actually blowing out from that ancient cave.
As they got closer to the cave entrance, the surrounding light seemed to gradually dim. More and more light, was blocked by the black clouds above the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave entrance, as if this place, did not allow light to enter.
And standing at the deep cave entrance, facing the deep end of the cave, that stone statue, gradually appeared clearly before their eyes.
This stretch of road, was not considered very long but to the both of them, it seemed to have been a very long time. When they finally stood at the entrance of the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave, the sky, had already completely darkened. Not long ago, the warm sunlight that shone on them, had completely disappeared above the black clouds.
Ghost Li slowly turned to the cave entrance, stood in front of that female stone statue.
The dim light, shone on her body …
Thousands of years of wind and frost, had slowly carved the initially soft and beautiful smoothness, into roughness, in the vicissitudes of time, how many eyes, had once so indifferently and quietly gazed at your face.
Time like the water in the long river, surging forward, never once stopping for a moment, the first touching, the first memories, the countless traces that were once deeply engraved in the heart, so, in the end, would still be forgotten by people.
Leaving only that remnant trace of the legend, after a long time, was inadvertently brought up by the later generations.
Your once beautiful, once heroic, in front of time, turned into ashes and dispersed like smoke.
The icy cold wind, brushed past his clothes and blew on his body, thousands of years of gazing, perhaps, in the end, could not compare to.
Remorse in a single thought!
A soft hand, lightly patted on his shoulder, the monkey Xiao Hui's cries, rang in his ears. Ghost Li's body shook slightly, abruptly took a step back, and then with a start, he realized that unknowingly, while staring at this young female stone statue, he had lost himself.
With that thought, Ghost Li's back felt like it was pricked by needles, his heart slightly shocked. With his current level of cultivation and determination, facing this LingLong shaman lady stone statue, he still unknowingly lost himself, the strange power contained in this stone statue, was really not to be underestimated.
Ghost Li composed himself and then turned to look at Jin PingEr, if not for Jin PingEr's reminder, facing this stone statue, he really did not know how long he would have lost himself in it. But why would Jin PingEr be on guard against this stone statue that could not be detected by anyone? Could it be that this girl had unexpectedly hidden her strength?
Ghost Li turned his head and looked over, and could not help but was stunned, although Jin PingEr was standing beside him, and stretched out her hand to pat his shoulder, but her entire body, was facing the opposite direction from Ghost Li, facing the entrance of the cave, her back facing the stone statue, completely not looking at the statue's face.
Ghost Li frowned, said, "What are you doing?"
Jin PingEr smiled and said, "This stone statue is very powerful, didn't I tell you before?"
Ghost Li frowned again, snorted and took a deep breath. At this moment, Xiao Hui who had been crouching on his shoulder seemed to be impatient, its monkey tail wagged and suddenly jumped out from Ghost Li's shoulder, jumped onto that stone statue, after climbing a few times, finally sat on the head of the stone statue.
Ghost Li's countenance changed, suddenly in a deep voice said, "Xiao Hui, come over."
The monkey looked at Ghost Li, scratched its head, called out twice but in the end still jumped back from the statue to Ghost Li's shoulder.
Jin PingEr laughed lightly and said, "Why are you scaring the monkey, it is just for fun …"
Before she could finish, Jin PingEr revealed a surprised expression, looking at Ghost Li's serious expression, tidying his clothes, he respectfully bowed towards the stone statue.
Jin PingEr asked, "What are you doing?"
Ghost Li's face was indifferent, did not answer, only stared deeply at the stone statue, cupped his hands and then turned, lightly said, "Nothing, let's go in!"
The ancient cave was deep and serene, the Yin wind gusted, it was right in front of them.
Jin PingEr followed behind Ghost Li, looked at the bored monkey Xiao Hui and then at Ghost Li, said, "Why did you bow to the stone statue just now?"
Ghost Li's footsteps paused for a moment and then continued forward, his mouth indifferently said, "The demeanour of the predecessors, even though it has long disappeared but in the human heart, there is always something worthy of respect."
Jin PingEr frowned deeply, clearly puzzled by Ghost Li's riddle-like words, was about to ask but Ghost Li was already near the cave entrance.
Jin PingEr hurriedly chased after him, frowned and said, "Hey, I am talking to you! Why are you walking so fast? I have not told you, the last time I came here, there was a fierce spirit here, although it was most likely eliminated by that Beast Deity, but this cave entrance most likely … "
Speaking till here, Jin PingEr's voice suddenly trailed off, almost at the same time, Ghost Li's footsteps also stopped.
The two of them stood a few feet away from the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave entrance, looking at the dark and gloomy cave, a white cold air slowly rose, under the biting cold Yin wind, it did not show any signs of dissipating.
That white air gathered more and more, its volume increasing and finally it gradually condensed into a shape, indistinctly an enormous figure appeared in the white air, its roar was deep, bursts of roars, mixed with the whistling of the Yin wind, it increased its power, like a ferocious ghost deity.
Jin PingEr looked at that white air, sighed, shook her head and said, "Alright, now you see, there is a powerful and bad-tempered fierce spirit here!"
