Fortunately, the karst cave was not very wide. Even though it was a bit dark, he did not encounter any dark water flow as he twisted and turned in a few directions. After half a day, the group came out of the cave. They could hear the sound of water flowing through the cave entrance. They had arrived at another river. Qi Tian looked at the flowers and birds flocking around him, and the scenery was quite beautiful, like the spring sun in Jiangnan. Qi Tian looked at the flowers and birds flocking around, and then he said, ”I didn't expect that outside of the holy abode, there would be such a wonderful place. The monk hit the raft with his pole and said, ”Little girl, you really have no idea how dangerous this place is. If you don't believe me, listen carefully.” Qi Tian was unconvinced and snorted, ”What's so nice about it? It's just that the flow of the water is a bit faster. ” He turned his head towards Hu Meiniang and asked, ”Elder sister, did you notice anything abnormal?” Hu Meiniang was a bit more shrewd. She looked around and saw that the faces of the monk and Wu Jiu Dao both changed drastically. Her chest gradually thumped as she thought, ”Could it be that there's some kind of ambush?” Concentrating and calming his breath, he listened carefully. He felt that in between the walls of the cave, there was a faint rumbling sound of thunder, and an undercurrent was surging. He was surprised. ”There's a huge whirlpool up ahead?”

Wu Jiu said in a deep voice, ”It's not a whirlpool, but a wide waterfall. The current is swift and difficult to avoid. This time, it's really extremely terrible.” Qi Tian said anxiously, ”The river is not very wide, so we just jumped onto the shore.” Wu Jiu shook his head and sighed, ”This place has the power of devouring, burying the bones of hundreds of beasts. If you do not wish to die, then you cannot.” Seeing that the two of them did not understand what he meant, he immediately said: ”The mud on the shore is made up of quicksand, if you step in there you will sink immediately, how can you jump?” He casually pulled out a tiny bamboo shoot from the raft and used his force to shoot it out, connecting the two to one insect. Qi Tian clapped his hands and praised, ”Senior Wu is able to shoot out such a powerful spell despite having his magic power suppressed. He's truly powerful.” Hu Meiniang was extremely envious as she tsk-tsked in praise. Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the bug's corpse fall onto the shore as if it was pulled by an invisible force, sinking into the mud and sand, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Qi Tian was shocked and anxious. He stumbled and shouted, ”Why is the ground so soft?” The monk said: ”This is not land, it is an object made of quicksand from the Three Realms. Its nature is very different, it is naturally able to absorb, and once it is stuck, it will remain stuck. ”However, this quicksand, hehe, even a feather can be used to catch food without leaving a trace.” The four of them looked at each other with ashen faces. They were helpless and could only sigh.

After that, the green clothes took advantage of her chivalrous spirit and sneaked into the forest, disappearing without a trace, causing her to be unable to control herself. Now that she had broken out of the evil valley, she was unable to catch her breath, but was blocked by layers of endless sand, blocking her way, waiting for an opportunity to escape, she could not hide from the waterfall, and in a moment of fear, her spirit was shaken, causing her to suddenly collapse and fall flat on the ground, as though she had just flipped over on her stomach. She could no longer hold back and vomited. Hu Mei Niang was shocked and hurriedly lifted her head and gently rested it on her thigh. She hit her back with all her strength and carefully hit it. When she saw her pale and absent-minded face, she did not know what to do. As they approached the place where the water was leaking, they heard the sound of waves crashing against each other. Although they could see each other's lips moving but they could not hear what they were saying.

The monk thought for a while and shouted, ”There are strong ropes tied to the rafts. Wrap your hands and feet in the rafts. Do not move or shake.” Qi Tian was confused and unable to move. Hu Meiniang sighed, ”You and I are both men of the zither, life and death together. Even if we were to die, we wouldn't dare to abandon them. We would just be despised by Yang Qi and Huang Song.” He took out a gorgeous ribbon from his sleeve and tied one end around his waist while the other end wrapped around his chest. Wu Jiu looked forward with a solemn face and said in surprise, ”What a big waterfall. Everyone be careful, the old man in charge, even if our mana is suppressed, we still can't lose our fighting spirit. How about we join hands and fight against the heavens?” The monk laughed, his voice trembling as he said, ”Ever since the Great War of Gods and Demons, you have been living in seclusion, and have long since lost the awe-inspiring aura of the Demon Generals. ”Today's lofty sentiments have suddenly appeared. I can vaguely see the iron spear's elegance. Interesting, interesting. This phrase suits my temperament and I like to listen to it the most.” Hu Meiniang's heart skipped a beat, she hugged Qi Tian with one hand, and imitated the way the two of them looked. Her feet moved into the rope and knotted, the tip of her feet twirling around, tightly coiled up. Gradually, the waves began to turn more and more violently. Seeing the bamboo raft rise up, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed a rope sheath. There was a boom, and the raft fell like a leaf in the wind.

Hu Meiniang's mind was in a mess as she shouted, ”Little Sister, don't open your mouth and breathe heavily. You won't be able to survive if you suffocate.” As soon as his voice fell, a huge wave came crashing down on him, causing the golden hairpin hairpin to fall off its head. His long hair was unbound, and he was in a sorry state, with another screen in front of him, beads of water converging on him, and he was just about to be filled with splashes from the water. His vision turned black as he started to breathe heavily, almost unable to catch his breath. Qi Tian's face turned purple, his voice trembled as he said, ”I …” I can't breathe, it hurts. ” Hu Meiniang sobbed, ”Sister, I'm doing my best to protect myself. How can I solve your calamity? It's so hard to explain. ” He lightly pressed against her abdomen, trying his best to resist the stagnation of the turbid water. With a glance, he could see that the raft was sliding down along the water current. Whenever they encountered a rocky outcropping, the monk and Wu Jiu Dao would use their respective residual demonic energy to conjure up weapons, a sun and moon staff, and a sky-upholding iron spear. They would resist and push with all their might, not letting the raft be dispersed by the impact. Taking advantage of the splashing of the waves, she took a deep breath, and without avoiding any taboos, she pressed it against Qi Tian's lips, trying hard to guide and instill in her. She thought to herself, ”The Dragon Calamity Orb in your body is now quiet and quiet, and my demonic energy is not too excited, only being able to lead and preserve each other's souls.” Qi Tian's face seemed to have calmed down, and a trace of blood was still flowing down his cheeks. He unconsciously shuddered, and his slender hands gently squeezed, moving back and forth as he muttered: ”I can't faint, I can't.” The monk turned his head and looked at them closely, saying anxiously, ”I am afraid these two children will not be able to hold on, Old Wu. Old Wu, let me avoid the stone, you just have to use your spear and open up all the splashes. Don't teach these two men a lesson, even the Great Firmament Golden Immortals will not be able to save you after you suffocate them for so long.” Wu Jiu was also burning with anxiety. He roared loudly and said, ”I am your sovereign, my demonic nature is too long. What can the heavens and earth do?” A long spear was dancing like a windmill, unable to advance even if it was splashed with water. It stood in front of the two girls, causing strong waves to roll and flutter as it was pushed away. Qi Tiantai instantly became clear. Seeing Hu Meiniang trying to protect him, he felt grateful in his heart and sighed, ”Sister, it has been hard on you.” Just as he was about to scream out 'powerless' and 'panting', he suddenly felt his blood churning and golden stars shooting out in front of his eyes. He had fainted. Hu Meiniang was both alarmed and anxious. Her chest was so stuffy that a mouthful of true energy could not be replenished. She was beaten up by the waves and lost all consciousness.

When she woke up, the raft was floating on the water. Although it had been beaten dry and broken, it was still safe and sound. Qi Tian had also woken up, and was staring at her with her beautiful eyes, full of gratitude and shame. She opened her eyes, smiled, put the hairpin in her apron, half kneeled, half sat, helped her dress up, and said in a low voice: ”Good sister, I will never argue with you again. You, if you like it … ”I won't either …” Hu Meiniang laughed, ”It should be noisy, it should be contentious. If it wasn't for that, how could the beautiful woman in front of me be the former younger sister Qi Tian?” However, he heard Wu Jiu say from behind, ”We are of the same heart, and our interests are equal. From now on, on the journey west, we can look after each other and be as close as family.” Seeing him sitting cross-legged on a bamboo raft on the beach, one hand twisting his clothes while the other holding a spear, both of their expressions were filled with vigor and vigor, there was no trace of fatigue or fatigue in their eyes. The Monk Jiu Rou who had long abandoned his modesty was lying down beside him, but his body was not hidden in the sand, revealing a shiny head. He was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly, a broken shoe was thrown far away, in the midst of the sloppiness, there were still countless people walking leisurely.

Hu Meiniang secretly adjusted her breathing and felt the warmth in her stomach. She curiously asked, ”Could it be that this place is no longer in danger and all of the Essence in my body is gradually recovering?” Qi Tian was stunned for a moment before he took a deep breath. His dantian started jumping with zhen qi as he said joyfully, ”That's right. All the meridians and meridians and meridians have been cleared. They are not restricted by any enchantments.” Wu Jiu put away his spear and stroked his beard as he smiled. ”We went downriver together and shared the same thoughts. It was a great fluke to be able to escape danger just now. However, this place is called the Walking Island and is still thousands of miles away from the eight thousand cave mountains. You are not allowed to ride the cloud and fog, and if you want to return, you will inevitably have to put in a lot of effort. ” Qi Tian was the most curious person in the world. He said in surprise, ”Senior Wu, since this place is not a barrier, why can't you step on the clouds?” Wu Jiu sighed, ”Walking Island is not a place in the mortal world. Take a look at the waves, is there anything abnormal?” The two girls were stunned and looked around, only to see that outside of the beach, the tides were actually more than half a foot above the ground. They were also surprised, but they heard Wu Jiu said softly, ”The water in the ocean outside the island did not come from the rivers and lakes, but also from the four seas. It was condensed and formed from the semi yin and half yang energy during the primordial era when the heavens and earth were opened. This wave was usually quiet and harmless, and if a cloud passed by, a column of water would definitely surge into the sky. It was like a sparkling lightning bolt, smashing it into pieces. Even if you and I attract the Five-Colored Clouds that can climb the highest, and borrow the strength of the clouds to escape, we will still not be able to avoid the attacks from the front and back of the cloud wave. ” Hu Meiniang looked up at the sky and said in shock, ”That's right! The sky is high here, and only the blue sky can be seen. No white clouds can be seen.”

It had already been a day. The sun was setting, and the scenery was still clear. The monk woke up and the four checked the shore. The island was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The walls were solid, and the ship was hard to sail on one side of the island, while the other was facing the sea. There are elk and weasel deer deer deer, shuttling back and forth in peace and self-satisfaction; there are deer deer and deer and deer, birds and birds, singing and singing, their joy and bliss. The insects ate the leaves and looked at the branches and fruits of the trees. The flowers and plants were shy and graceful. Looking around, the area could be extended to more than a hundred miles. Pits, holes, trees, holes, grass, everything looked eerie when it was flourishing. It was like a small world with all the five elements in the world and no lack of gossip. He cut off a few pieces of wood and placed them on top of the rocks to rest. However, Qi Tian and Hu Meiniang suffered greatly as they said: ”The mud is moist, the yin energy is seeping into the bones and injuring the tendons, but where are we taking a nap?” Wu Jiu Dao was about to speak when he felt his arm being held down by the monk, and his eyes rolled, black and white, with a hint of mischievousness on his face. He snorted: ”Weird, weird, you guys are so young, and your skin is too thick, don't tell me you want two thousand year old monks to listen to you and receive you with open arms? Didn't you hear the saying 'doing things by yourself, you will have plenty of food, and nothing to worry about'? ”My daughter is very clever, but a little bit tired. Don't think about robbing others for their benefits.” And then he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest. He was in a meditative state like he was blind and deaf. Wu Jiu Dao sighed softly and shook his head slightly. His finger secretly poked at the vines on the other side as he smiled without saying a word.

Qi Tian said, ”What a heartless monk. Since when did you become so cold and selfish?” He turned to Hu Meiniang and asked, ”Elder sister, what's the situation now?” Hu Meiniang looked at Wu Jiu's hand gesture and knew what he meant by it. She said gently, ”Sister, the other day at the Taichi Temple, I hid in the lotus lake and kidnapped little brother, and that was because I used some special methods to hide and create the armor. To me, sleeping in the open air is as easy as lifting my hand.” After guiding her for a few steps, he tore off the vine from the tree. He made a random arrangement and tied it together into a rope. They crossed each other's paths. Soon, they obtained a net bed. Qi Tian was flabbergasted, and he regained his senses after a while. He could not help but clap and praise, and said happily, ”Big sister is amazing, so smart.” He tied both ends of it firmly to the tree, and lay down on the ground, swaying like a baby's cradle. It was very uncomfortable, and he could not help but exclaim in delight. In the blink of an eye, Hu Meiniang had completed the second bed and properly arranged it. It was a success. Qi Tian teased him intentionally, but the monk ignored him. His voice got louder and louder, and the corner of Qi Tian's mouth twitched. He picked up two leaves from the ground, folded them, and stuffed them into his ears.

Deep in the night, they suddenly heard the sound of movement outside the forest for a long time. The four of them were astonished. They looked at each other and said, ”Other than us, are there any other unfortunate people that have wandered onto this island?” Abandoning the wooden cattail on the bed, he sneaked into the shrubbery at the edge of the beach. Under the silver moonlight, he saw a huge group of people on the flat beach. Among the troops, there were armored soldiers with guns, sabers and swords, and soldiers carrying luggage. The elderly and young, dressed in cloth, were all shouting and shouting, carrying each other, and walking in a bustling crowd. The Monk of the Mausoleum of Books identified the auras and said in surprise: ”These are not living people, they are all ghosts and ghosts that have lost their lives. That's right, the Yin Passage was not restricted by the waves, and it was also very convenient for them to come and go. If they borrowed their power, perhaps they could even return to the eight thousand cave mountain? ”At that time, you cannot ride the clouds and soar in the fog. So what?” He was overjoyed. How could he still be willing to hide? He made a hand gesture to the three people behind him, then jumped out of the shelter and walked slowly for a few steps. He saw an empty spot in the team and slipped in. Hearing that, Wu Jiu Dao suddenly came to a realization, and said with his sleeves wide open. ”Regardless of the background of this group of ghost soldiers, if we truly open the path of the ghost palace, we will be able to use our mana and return safely. We will also be safe from the waves outside the island.” Hu Meiniang was slightly shocked as she said softly, ”Little Sister, I know that you have always been afraid of ghosts and wish to hide far away. ”However, the situation is different at this moment. There is no longer any fear, no need to retreat. Just do it in one go, don't waste any time.” She suddenly pulled up one of her sleeves, and under the cover of the night, she suddenly disappeared into the group, following closely behind the Monk Jiu Dao and Demon General Wu Jiu. Qi Tian snuggled close to him, his chest thumping. He took a few steps forward and stole a glance at the surrounding souls, then ignored them and continued to call out to the ghost soldiers outside the team. Qi Tian took care of himself indifferently, not feeling the slightest bit at ease.

However, a Centurion yelled out, ”Sir, all of Gui Yuan must be exhausted. We still need to get some more.” General Tie Yue, who had a white felt wolf tail and was covered in scales, rode over from the front and said loudly: ”This place is desolate, where can we find ghost essence. Everyone hurry and go ahead, until we enter the underworld's entrance to the north side of the yellow mountain stone. With the influence of the Underworld's endless dark energy, we will naturally be able to recover our strength.” He put his palms together and listened attentively for a moment. His face suddenly turned pale, and he was extremely shocked as he said in a frightened voice: ”There are endless hidden traps behind us, the ripples on the ground seem to be oscillating and the smoke seems to be rolling up in the distance. Could it be that they are chasing us all the time and want to chase us up?” After he reminded them, they all turned around and stood on their tiptoes to watch. They looked terrified as they shouted, ”It's them! Everyone move faster! Don't let your soul be shattered here! We will never be able to escape!”

What are they afraid of?” This place is merely a wilderness island, and has been defended by soldiers and soldiers. Could it be that there is some strong bandit group? ” The general watched attentively as he spoke in a low voice, ”It's just some wild fire. Don't panic. You're in a state of turmoil. It's not good to be in a state of disarray.” One of them said anxiously, ”It was clearly a fire, why did the lord lie to us and say it was a wild fire? If we do not give up, we will all die. ” The general angrily retorted, ”What nonsense are you spouting?” That person coldly snorted and threw down his blade. He caught up with him and slashed down with his sword. If I am afraid today, even the people I should look after will be thrown away. Even if I have a ghost, how will I have the face to change to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and go see my family members in other places? ” The soldiers bowed and said, ”Sire, you are right. We wish to follow you with our lives on the line. We dare not neglect our duty.
