Abyss Express

Foreword:

Walk as you please, sit at ease, drink when you are thirsty, eat when you are hungry, and sing when you are drunk.

——Guan Hanqing

[Part ①·Lights out night talk]

Dan Chenzi could not control his inner demons, so he brought Zhang Gui and Junior Brother Jin Xu together to discuss the major rebellion.

As for the pair of little monsters, the Tiger Pioneer didn't take them to heart at all. Such wastes that couldn't cultivate into human form were worthless as chess pieces - as long as they obeyed and kept their mouths shut.

The two brothers Jianying and Jianxiong carried their luggage, while the other hugged Xiangxiang and went back to the guest room to rest.

At midnight, the two of them turned off the lights and put out the fire and prepared to go to bed, but they couldn't fall asleep.

Jianying is a steady and somewhat dull person. He always lives in the inertial mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and is suspicious and worried.

Wearing the human skin of an ancient wolf demon, he squatted by the window and looked into the Buddhist hall of the Sifang Earth Temple - no one came out, and there was no sound of wind.

At this time, Jianying took out a short knife from Zhang Guiren's doctor's bag.

This is also the knife used to cleanse the faces of the two brothers, and the prop used to shave the two villagers into humanoid shapes.

Boss Zhao remained silent and touched the unconscious Xiangxiang, gently for fear of waking up his brother.

Zhao Laoer has been taking a nap——

——He had no intention of closing his eyes and sleeping. How could he sleep in such a complex and dangerous environment, wearing the skin of a demon? And there was a prostitute beside him. When the eldest brother came with the knife, the seventeen-year-old young man immediately shouted in a low voice.

"Brother, what are you doing?!"

Brother Zhao was startled. At first he heard a delicate female voice. His hands and feet were stiff and his brain was slow. Only when he came to his senses did he realize that this was Brother Zhao talking.

Jianying answered without hesitation: "I want to kill her."

Jianxiong: "Why?!"

Jianying: "She is an enemy, and she also knows the identity of her benefactor, so she can't keep him."

"Wu Xiuwen is also an enemy! He has also harmed us." Jianxiong also wanted to protect Ichigo Xiangxiang: "A real man must keep his word. Brother, we promised her to take her to Taiye."

"So what if you agree?" Zhao Jianying's eyes were splitting, and Gu Ling'er's skin began to exude a terrifying murderous aura: "Wu Chengzhang also agreed, Wu Xiuwen also agreed, and this woman also agreed - in the end, there was no promise. It can be fulfilled!”

"Second brother! Don't stop me, my benefactor is right."

"That stinky bitch Guan Xiangxiang is the Five Elements Mountain weighing on us."

"I was upset when I saw her along the way. I wanted to sleep with her and wanted to kill her. When I heard her shouting "good husband" and "great hero" several times, I felt pity for her."

"My heart is broken. I am not an immortal or a sage."

"If I keep her here any longer, how should I repay my kindness? How can I get down from the mountain? Can we escape from Black Wind Ridge?"

"You say Wu Xiuwen deserves to be killed, but I don't want to offend this cunning scoundrel - I can't fight him. He's smart and eloquent, and he's protected by his benefactor. If I'm alone, I'll just kill him and I'll be clean. No big deal. One life for another.”

"But you have to live, Jianxiong."

Zhao Jianying held the dagger tightly and said through gritted teeth.

"For my livelihood and for my family, I can endure it, and I can endure it forever. I can kowtow to Wu Chengzhang - and I still do the same now."

"Kill Guan Xiangxiang, and we won't have to be threatened by her words. If my benefactor wants to be punished, I can continue to bear the crime of murder. I can continue to endure it, but you can't."

Zhao Jianxiong was hesitant. He didn't know why his benefactor wanted to keep the prostitute and bring an oil bottle to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den.

"My benefactor said that he would not kill anyone."

Zhao Jianying immediately said: "So I am here to kill him, and you can't break his rules."

Zhao Jianxiong felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"But."

Jianying interrupted, "Shouldn't this evil bitch die? How many heroes has she falsely accused in Zhuzhou City? I got rid of bears for the county magistrate, even if she shows her noble hand and adds less medicine to the ecstasy soup - we can all find it." Take the opportunity to escape and not become meat on the chopping board.”

"Brother, you were the one who shot the bear, but the credit goes to me." Zhao Jianxiong didn't dare to raise his head to look into his eldest brother's eyes: "This courtesan wanted to entertain the two of us, but I got carried away for a moment and agreed. Only then did I I got into a big disaster and suffered a big disaster—how come in the end, it was you who took care of the stupid things?"

"This is not right"

Jianxiong felt bad.

"It's not right, it's not fair, it shouldn't be."

Zhao Jianying: "I am a hard worker."

The two of them just sat next to Guan Xiangxiang, not in a hurry to kill anyone with a knife.

When she was with Zhang Guiren, Jianying couldn't talk to Jianxiong about family matters. When she came to Sifang Earth Temple and was about to enter Heifeng Village, the two brothers found a chance to have a good talk.

"How can there be any fairness in the world?" Zhao Jianying added: "Wu Xiuwen recognized a good father. Is this fair?"

"Wu Chengzhang was castrated in the palace and sought a lifetime career as a fifth-rank state official. When he arrived in Zhuzhou, he still had to look at the face of Admiral Liu Da. Only when he was demoted to the seventh-rank county magistrate did he dare to wear the black gauze hat. This Is it fair?”

"Guiren Zhang treats the Emperor of the Nine Realms, and he is a first-class official. Is this fair?"

"What strength do we have? What qualifications do we have to talk about fairness?"

At this point, Jianxiong finally understood what was going on with this "something wrong".

"Brother, in this case, you can't kill Guan Xiangxiang."

Jianying said angrily: "Are you obsessed with this woman? Are you the same as me? Can't bear to leave her?"

Before he finished speaking, Boss Zhao raised his knife and stabbed Xiangxiang. I want to end the life of this troubled beauty with one blow.

Zhao Laoer grabbed the eldest brother by the collar, quickly pulled and lifted him with quick eyes, then picked up the eldest brother by the waist and rolled him to his side.

The two of them struggled in the dark guest room, using all their strength. The boss was afraid that the knife would not have an eye, so he immediately let go of the knife holding hand. After receiving two punches and two elbows on the face, a big sauce shop was opened on the tip of the nose, and both sweet and salty things came out at the same time.

Smelling the smell of blood, Boss Zhao seemed to be really angry. He used his older and stronger physique to bully the second brother, squeezing against him and tripping him. The two of them rolled down the bunk, and hit each other in front of the floor. Next to the pillars.

Brother Zhao pinched Zhao Laoer's neck and cast a dim yellow light from the window. When he saw "Sister Weird" with blood on her face, he became more and more excited. For a while, he couldn't tell who the person in front of him was. .

Zhao Laoer was restrained, but he did not panic. He pushed his knee hard into the back of his elder brother's heart. The two of them rolled to the other side again and leaned against the dining table in the guest room.

When he got up again, Boss Zhao picked up the knife and kept wiping his nose, trying to stop the bleeding.

The ring finger and little finger of Zhao Laoer's right hand were broken and crooked to the side. He cried in pain, but could not cry out.

Boss Zhao seemed to be in a state of obsession. He could no longer tell who was the enemy and who was the friend.

He had endured it for so long that he was about to go crazy and be controlled by his inner demon. Not only did Guan Xiangxiang want to kill, but he also wanted to kill the second person in front of him who was wearing the skin of a demon.

If it weren't for saving the second child, he wouldn't fight for his life with Xiong Yan.

Without this black bear, he would not have entered Zhuzhou.

If you don't come to Zhuzhou, you won't have this calamity or this difficulty.

He thought to himself that if Jianxiong also died in the plague, the whole family would be wiped out. He had long since torn off his human skin, abandoned his sense of propriety, justice, and integrity. He didn't have to be a "big brother." He would have burned all the corpses of his family members and took his family property with him to find a good place to go. He might have joined the army to start a family - he didn't have to hold his tail between his legs. Be a human being.

Just because of this stupid brother, he has to wear human skin and be tortured by the moral sword. He talks about the principle of returning fallen leaves to their roots and the etiquette of respecting elders and inferiors. Never would I have imagined that I would be in such a dilemma today.

Jianying felt that there were gangsters in Zhuzhou City who could eat people without spitting out their bones, including Zhang Congfeng.

If you owe someone a favor, do you have to pay it back? He could just pat his butt and walk away, but what happens after that? As the eldest brother, does he want to teach his younger brother to be an ungrateful person?

"Brother!" Jianxiong shouted anxiously: "Brother! I am Jianxiong! Brother!"

Zhao Jianying was affected by the special spiritual pressure environment of Black Wind Ridge and could not hear the call. He clenched the knife and prepared to kill——

——At this moment, the two people were fighting and fighting so much that Guan Xiangxiang woke up from her nightmare.

The brothel girl suddenly got up and stood on the straw mat. She looked at the two brothers in surprise and shock. The faces of these two "beautiful girls" were covered with blood, and they looked like they would not stop fighting.

"What are you doing?" Xiangxiang asked tremblingly, losing her confidence.

Zhao Jianying woke up suddenly. He saw this pitiful and helpless woman, and the copper basin on the washstand next to the dining table. In the mirror, he also looked injured and miserable.

How is he an upright man? Wearing this painted skin, he is just like Guan Xiangxiang, just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, worse than a bitch.

After realizing this, Zhao Jianying came to her senses completely, feeling only fear in her heart.

——He almost raised a butcher knife against his second brother just now, and wanted to kill an unarmed woman.

He was controlled by the survival instinct and completely escaped into the devil's way. He would kill people just because of a few suspicions and a few thoughts.

"Jianxiong." Zhao Jianying exhaled a breath of turbid air and her eyes became clear: "I"

Zhao Jianxiong did not respond, he was only afraid that Jianying would have murderous intent again——

——My elder brother is much stronger than him. If he really wants to fight to his death, Jianxiong is no match for his elder brother.

Thinking like this, Jianxiong asked questions repeatedly.

"Miss Xiangxiang! My two brothers have no enmity with you! Why do you want to harm us?"

Guan Xiangxiang trembled, and when she saw the knife in Zhao Jianying's hand, she naturally figured out the cause and effect, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Two heroes, spare your life! Spare your life! Spare my life!"

"It was Na Wuzhi County's idea. This dance is not done by me, but also by others. It is not me who comes to feed this wine, but also by others."

"Okay." Zhao Jianxiong slowly moved to Guan Xiangxiang, protecting the prostitute behind him, and faced his elder brother: "I believe you for once. Zhang Guiren saved the lives of two of my brothers and set bones and treated our injuries. Xiangxiang If the girl stays in Zhuzhou and Wu Chengzhang wants to silence you, he will definitely kill you - in this case, we all have to repay the favor."

"My elder brother doesn't believe you and wants to kill you. Do you understand?"

Xiangxiang immediately said: "I understand! I understand! I will keep it a secret!"

"He will definitely do what Zhang Guiren said." Zhao Jianxiong stared at his elder brother with piercing eyes: "Your life was given by him. If you want to escape from Heifeng Ridge, let alone the people all over the mountains and plains. Beasts and monsters—let’s just say that in this place with no front or back, who will guide you? Who will protect you?”

Xiangxiang immediately said: "It's the noble man! The noble man save me!"

It is important to have someone in the team who is clear-headed and can understand the situation.

It's a pity that this kind of talent is rare in the world. Even if you have this kind of talent, it is difficult to convince others.

To use a wonderful metaphor -

——It's like your signal is bad, voice messages are coming one after another, and you have said all the good things, but it's hard to hold back your teammates who are tempted to kill.

Zhao Jianxiong happened to break through the confusion and came out of his stupid state. He has this power.

After saying this, it sounded like Xiangxiang was swearing to understand the pros and cons, but for Jianying, he could only rely on Zhang Guiren's magic to escape from the Black Wind Ridge.

In order to survive, he could kill Xiangxiang or Wu Xiuwen. The next step was to betray Zhang Congfeng. If Xiangxiang is killed with a knife and Jianying loses to fear, he will also become a man-eating demon, growing together with the wolf demon's skin and never being able to separate.

[Part②·Are you the inner demon? ]

At this moment, Jiang Xueming didn't know what happened in the guest room.

He left Xiangxiang in the custody of Jianying and Jianxiong, which was originally a very simple matter.

This woman is very smart. As for the talents who have come out of this special industry, all of them are good people who know how to watch people's words - but she fainted from the shock of her own words. Xueming was still strange, thinking that she must have not eaten for too long. , dizzy from hunger.

How many lies did Wu Chengzhang and this woman tell? If Xiangxiang didn't have the ability to distinguish, she would have become a good business for Caijiazhuang.

As for the matter of "sending you to the Tiger Pioneer to have your teeth punched in the mouth as a sacrifice", if Xiangxiang believed it, then there would be something wrong.

None of these complex people are good, and their goals are not pure.

It's even more dangerous when they arrive at Black Wind Ridge. They have to fight their inner demons at any time. If they can't pass this level, they will die.

As for whether he can bring them all down the mountain, Xueming is not sure. After all, this is not the Nine Realms. It is not a beautiful paradise where a passionate and courageous person can have a good cat to send you a fairy tale.

"This, this, this." Dan Chenzi held the sword and wanted to test the power of the soul-breaking sword: "I will take out this treasure when the time comes."

Wu Xiuwen exclaimed to each other: "It makes the Hundred-Eyed Devil lose his soul and become frightened!"

"But when I picked up the sword, I couldn't feel any spiritual power." Dan Chenzi couldn't tell the difference between a real and a fake sword, so naturally he couldn't activate his divine power if he waved it with a fake sword.

"In order to restrain the Hundred-Eyed King, the Buddha Sculptor specially added a restriction to this magic weapon." Jiang Xueming said casually: "If you don't know the existence of the restriction, you can't break its seal and you can't activate the true energy in it. "

"Oh?" Dan Chenzi became interested: "The Buddha carving master is also afraid that this sword will fall into the wrong hands?"

"That's right." Jiang Xueming responded: "The Hundred-Eyed Demon has no respect for Guanyin Bodhisattva. Of course, we must be wary of it, lest it become evil again after taking back the magic weapon."

Dan Chenzi: "How to break this restriction?"

Jiang Xueming was about to speak, but then shut up with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Just say it!" Dan Chenzi laughed loudly: "We are all brothers! When I go to Heifeng Village to say hello and bring my sword to the temple, the Hundred-Eyed Devil will definitely relax his vigilance - then I will pretend to sacrifice my blood and soul. It must be overjoyed with the magic weapon created, just in the blink of an eye! I will kill its head!"

"Zhang Guiren, if there is no law, how can I achieve anything?"

Dan Chenzi approached Zhang Congfeng and whispered.

"After the job is done, I will send you down the mountain to take care of your expenses and stuff your little bag with gold, silver and jewelry."

Jiang Xueming reached out for the fake sword——

——In the blink of an eye, Dan Chenzi closed his eyes.

Xueming put the real sword on the table and put the fake sword back into the cloth.

"You pick it up and say the incantation."

The Tiger Pioneer held up the heavy sword and asked doubtfully: "What spell?"

Jiang Xueming thought about it and randomly picked up a spell from a children's TV show. His little daughter often watched the TV all day long, and he remembered some strange spells.

After all, he is not like Meteor, his two-dimensional concentration is too low, and he doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve.

"Gunara, God of Darkness - Change!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dan Chenzi pointed the big sword in his hand at Wu Xiuwen——

——Wu Xiuwen saw a burst of blood and red smoke pouring out of the sword blade.

The smoke quickly condensed and took shape in the hall, turning into a shy and delicate woman, holding a kitchen knife and slashing at Wu Xiuwen's head and face.

Wu Xiuwen panicked in his heart: "Noble, save me! Senior brother, save me!"

This woman is Wu Xiuwen's inner demon, and the romantic debt he left behind in Zhuzhou City. She is the daughter of a small salt shop. Xiuwen deceived her and agreed to get married, but Wuzhi County did not agree - He couldn't defeat his father, and he was in the wrong marriage.

In the end, the girl didn't cry or have any thoughts of committing suicide, but Wu Xiuwen always remembered that after all, it was his first love, and if there was a debt in his heart, he would become a demon.

"Okay! Good baby!" Dan Chenzi stood up with his sword in hand and carefully looked at the incarnation of the inner demon.

The bright red kitchen knife slashed towards Junior Brother Jin Xu's head!

Wu Xiuwen broke out in a cold sweat and turned sideways to avoid it, only to see a crack on the table.

This woman possessed by inner demons raised her knife and struck again!

Dan Chenzi shouted with a playful smile: "Junior brother! I didn't expect you still have a girl hidden in your heart! Hahahahahaha!"

"Don't laugh at me!" Wu Xiuwen dodged left and right, no match for the inner demon. He hid beside the table and chair, picked up the scroll and brush on the bookshelf and threw it away, but these physical attacks were completely useless against the inner demon.

The thrown object smashed into this dense mass of blood, like a mud cow disappearing into the sea. After a while, it fell completely from the back to the floor.

But the injuries left by the kitchen knife were real. After a while, Wu Xiuwen's arm vest had several bloody wounds. Fortunately, he avoided it in time, otherwise the bones would have been cut off!

"Hey! There's blood!" Tiger Pioneer quickly sheathed his sword. He was also afraid that Jin Xu would hold a grudge. If the rat betrayed him in advance and sent the news to King Hundred Eyes, things would be terrible.

The incarnation of the inner demon flew up and down in the direction pointed by the sword blade, and dissipated into nothingness the moment he sheathed the sword.

"Hey! Huh. Hiss." Wu Xiuwen was half alive, breathing heavily to protect his skin, whispering in pain just to avoid showing his timidity. There was a bit of anger in his eyes, and he glanced at Zhang Guiren secretly - but Zhang Guiren didn't say anything, let alone help him, "Senior brother, are you kidding me? I'm shallow, so naturally I can't pass the beauty test."

"Why don't you try the sword with yourself, senior brother? I don't know if it's the ghost that's stronger? Or the inner demon that's stronger?"

Of course, Dan Chenzi would not fall for this provocation. When it comes to his inner demon, it is most likely the Buddhist carving master——

——After all, this skill relies on cages and chains to train it. The person who builds a cage and puts chains on it is also the most terrifying in its heart.

"Hey!" Tiger Pioneer wanted to make a little joke at that time and pointed his sword at Zhang Congfeng: "I wonder what kind of devil Zhang Guiren hides in his heart?"

Jiang Xueming: "I advise you to be kind."

Dan Chenzi ignored it and recited the incantation.

"Gunara, God of Darkness - Change!"

Suddenly there was a strong wind in the hall, and the red blood that had just dissipated condensed again.

It kept changing, dancing on the blade, crawling to the ground and trying to condense into a human form.

After a while, it finally transformed into a complete face, but I still couldn't see the human face clearly. Xueming seemed to have seen this face somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember it - after all, he had killed so many people, there was no need to tell them one by one. Remember them all.

The transformation process of the inner demon is coming to an end, and the human face has an expression. He opens his eyes and looks carefully. When he sees Jiang Xueming's face clearly, he immediately screams in terror, and the blood and energy are scattered in all directions like firecrackers and thunder and mercury.

Dan Chenzi was shocked by the movement. He looked at the sword first and then at Zhang Guiren.

"I'm a doctor."

Jiang Xueming said confidently.

"No inner demons."
