Chapter 225 Hope in the Darkness Do not let strangers approach the Tilan Bridge at midnight.
Many strange, weird, and terrifying urban legends often occur here.
For example, someone once saw a woman wearing a red umbrella and cheongsam disappear in the middle of the night.
Some people also saw a servant girl in ancient costume, wearing a black melon hat, with a face as white as paper, walking silently, holding an old paper lantern, walking on the road, laughing and laughing, and letting out a cold laugh.
The scariest thing is that someone once encountered three or four people walking on stilts in the alley. The stilts were hidden under their robes, and their feet were invisible. Each of them wore a bamboo hat and held up a worn-out paper umbrella. Their heads reached the floor of the second floor.
After tonight, there will be another legend.
It is said that when someone was getting up at night, they saw two "evil ghosts" biting and attacking each other in the back alley. When they were deeply in love, they even hugged each other and had sex.
"Bah! Did you know you have bad breath?"
Yin Xiu pushed hard with her elbow and finally moved Yun Zhongfeng's hand away, and took a breath.
As soon as Yun Zhongfeng's hand was free, purple electric light overflowed from the sleeve again, climbing up the back of his hand and fingertips. Yin Xiu felt his eyes sting just by looking at it.
"Lightning Lightning Fist!"
Yun Zhongfeng struck with a punch. At such a close distance, the momentum was like a thunderbolt falling from the clouds. The shock made Yin Xiu's temples tremble and his scalp numb.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit her face, Yin Xiu had no doubt that if she was hit by this punch, the complexion on her face would definitely be uglier than Yun Zhongfeng's.
Unable to avoid it, Yin Xiu suddenly remembered one of Li Gui's previous stunts and imitated it without hesitation.
Since ghosts like Li Gui, who have little cultivation, can be big and small, fat and thin, and can even be convex here and dented there, Yin Xiu, as a Taoist priest who is familiar with the operation of magic power, Yin Xiu, who is also in the state of soul body, can Show, there’s no reason why it can’t be done.
"I'm going to beat you up! Make yourself smaller!"
Yin Xiu shouted loudly, and the strong energy circulated throughout his body, flowing to his limbs and five meridians. His figure suddenly swelled, and in the blink of an eye he reached over three meters in height.
Yun Zhongfeng's punch was originally a sure hit, but because Yin Xiu suddenly grew bigger, his position shifted and he hit the stomach.
Although this punch missed the vital point and only hit the stomach, which was not that big, it was still powerful. Yin Xiu was knocked through the wall and flew backwards.
Yin Xiu flew upside down in the air, smoke rose from her stomach, as if a big hole had been burned, and the pain was unbearable.
And his body shape also changed from the previous height of more than three meters back to an ordinary appearance.
Yun Zhongfeng succeeded in the attack, and when he saw Yin Xiu flying out, unable to dodge in mid-air, he immediately accelerated his steps, followed him like a shadow, and launched his killing move again.
Yin Xiu saw him chasing after him, and behind him was the invisible wall of air blocking the Bagua array. Knowing that he had no way to retreat, he immediately decided to fight to the death with him.
With a muffled groan, the energy and blood in Yin Xiu's body began to flow again, her pores expanded, and power surged upward from her dantian, burning.
When she felt that this power was at its peak, Yin Xiu punched out with great force and timing.
"Great Wild Bull Demonic Fist! Get bigger!"
Yin Xiu's energy poured out, and the spiritual platform was ethereal. Then he saw that in his eyes, his fist was getting smaller and smaller, but Yun Zhongfeng's figure was getting taller and taller!
The opponent also has the ability to change the size of his soul body to cope with his heavy punches?
But soon, Yin Xiu was surprised to find that Yun Zhongfeng had not grown bigger, but she had shrunk! "Oops, I made a mistake again!"
Yun Zhongfeng was also the one who couldn't help but curse loudly. This punch was faster, crueler and more powerful than the previous one, but it failed again! Yun Zhongfeng couldn't help but feel the energy and blood rolling in his chest, and he couldn't stop trembling.
But before he could calm down, he felt severe pain under his body. He couldn't help but soften his feet and half-knelt down.
It turns out that just now, although Yin Xiu's body had shrunk, shrinking from the original adult body to the size of a baby, his strength was still there.
This punch hit Yun Zhongfeng's unprepared knee. The small and hard fist was like a drill hitting an egg, and its power was incomparable.
Yun Zhongfeng suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his knees, flowing through his whole body, and finally rushed up to the spiritual platform, making his eyes red and bloodshot.
A gust of protective wind blew up from his body again, and after Yin Xiu was blown away, Yun Zhongfeng glanced at her bruised and swollen knees with cold eyes.
"Dahuang Niu Demon Fist, I have never heard of such a name in either the Taoist sect or the martial arts world. Is it a small boxing type in the north that only has three or five people in its generation?"
"Wrong." Yin Xiu grinned, "This is my own creation. I haven't established a sect yet. If you kowtow to me three times and hand me a cup of tea, I can consider accepting you as the founding disciple of our sect. .”
"Would you like to give you another big red envelope?"
"That would be the best!"
As soon as the words fell, the two stood up again, fists and feet intertwined.
But this time, Yun Zhongfeng's leg injury obviously affected his speed.
After several misalignments, Yin Xiu stepped forward and blocked the space for Feng Zhong to move around.
The two were in close combat, pushing and moving sideways for a moment, like Wing Chun holding hands and asking each other, unable to break free from each other, and unable to do anything to each other.
Bagua 64's hands are strong and soft, especially in this kind of confrontation where the skills of the hands are all delicate or not, it is even more advantageous.
It's just that the posture and moves are different for each individual.
After pulling for dozens of rounds, Yun Zhongfeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The words that Yun Zhongfeng said before that he and Yin Xiu would die together and wait until the end of time, and the two of them become wandering ghosts together, were just words that Yun Zhongfeng said casually on a whim.
Only when he woke up and realized that time was getting very tight did he start to feel anxious.
I'm afraid it's almost time for the rooster to crow. Avoiding the ghosts who came to catch him with paper umbrellas and chains, after all, it took him too much time.
Compared with those fashionable seducers, these ghosts who look like they crawled out of the grave are the most terrifying things in the underworld.
Even with Yun Zhongfeng's astonishing cultivation level, there was no possibility of contending with them in the soul state.
"I'm running out of time!"
Yun Zhongfeng groaned, and no longer competed with Yin Xiu for momentum. Instead, she slapped his face with a palm and scratched straight at Yin Xiu's eyes and mouth with her sharp nails.
As everyone knows, he seems to be breaking away from the balance of power and turning to the offensive.
But this kind of confrontation is just like placing pieces on a chessboard, every move is extremely labor-intensive.
If you are not careful, you will lose everything and ruin the good situation before. Therefore, the most important thing is patience and temper.
Yun Zhongfeng's anxious attack immediately gave Yin Xiu a chance.
Instead of blocking the opponent's sharp slap, he put his hands on it and pulled it back. It looked like he was holding Yun Zhongfeng's hand and pushing his face up.
This "suicide" behavior not only did not bring any joy to Yun Zhongfeng's heart, but actually shocked him.
When a person behaves abnormally and makes things obviously develop in a direction that is not good for him, if he is not crazy, then he has deeper motives and thoughts!In this alley of the underworld, there is only one lunatic between them, Dian Lao.
If this guy is not me, is it the yellow-haired boy opposite?
But no matter what, when Yin Xiu held his hand like this, his center of gravity was unbalanced and his body fell forward. Yun Zhongfeng already understood that the original balanced situation was broken. He seemed to have the upper hand, but Yin Xiu was The last move came first, so that he fell into a disadvantage! What greeted Yun Zhongfeng was Yin Xiu's hands that moved forward and hit his chin.
However, Yin Xiu's handsome face, which was within reach and could be scratched as long as the nails were longer or the joints were stretched a little, was suddenly pulled away in a breath, like a flying star, and became out of reach.
The white ape offers fruit!
Yin Xiu's waist was almost arched, and her whole body became an arch bridge, but her hand did not retreat at all, and she placed it on Yun Zhongfeng's chin.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of the jaw joint cracking, and Yun Zhongfeng flew out heavily and landed on the ground.
Although in this underworld, injuries will not bleed, and hands and feet will not be broken if you fall from anywhere. Even if you let the current flow throughout your body like Yun Zhongfeng, it will actually be okay.
But if he is really attacked by the Dragon and Tiger Qi, without the protection of the "easily injured" skin, the damage to his soul will be more serious, and the destructive power of every punch and every move will be several times greater.
Therefore, although Yun Zhongfeng received this blow, although his muscles and bones were not broken and he could not stand up, he was still a little dizzy and weak.
At this moment, a crisp rooster crow came in, and it seemed that the underworld became brighter because of the crow, and the surrounding vision suddenly became much clearer.
This made Yun Zhongfeng's face look even more terrifying, rugged and terrifying.
His face became increasingly gloomy, partly because he was injured, and partly because time had indeed become urgent.
When the rooster crows three times, no soul will be able to leave the underworld, and he and Yin Xiu will completely become wandering ghosts.
"Hey, aren't you scared?" Yin Xiu asked suddenly.
Seeing Yin Xiu so relaxed and calm, she seemed not worried at all about staying here.
Yun Zhongfeng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. When she looked at Yin Xiu, in addition to the previous contempt for him completely disappearing, there was also a bit more solemnity and fear.
As if sensing Yun Zhongfeng's thoughts, Yin Xiu suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry, I don't have a way to leave this underworld after dawn, but I think the two of us, who fought to death when we were alive, maybe we can be good brothers after death. After all, we don't know each other if we don't fight. Well."
"Are you serious?" Yun Zhongfeng's face was full of doubts, and he seemed to be slightly touched.
"fake!"
Yin Xiu's figure dived down, with dragon and tiger steps under her feet, bringing up a series of afterimages that swept toward Yun Zhongfeng.
……
After the rooster crows three times, in the distance, a corner of the originally dark curtain seems to have been gently opened by a child's hand, leaking out a little light.
Lan Po's expression suddenly became solemn, and the teacup in her hand shook, spilling a few drops of tea.
The image originally reflected in the mirror has disappeared, and the mirror surface is as dim as this dim altar.
At the same time, Yin Xiu's body, which was still sitting on the futon, suddenly seemed to have lost its support, tilted to the side, and was about to fall to the ground.
Ma Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward, hugged Yin Xiu, and held her in her arms.
At the same time, she held the sword secret with one hand, pressed it on Yin Xiu's forehead, and injected strands of dragon and tiger energy into him.
But those Gang Qi are like mud cows entering the sea, without any feedback or reaction at all.
Seeing this, Lan Po shook her head and put her hand on Ma Xiaoyu's shoulder, "Give up. After the rooster crows three times, the living soul will not come back."
Ma Xiaoyu didn't raise her head, and didn't stop her hands. She continued to send Qi to Yin Xiu over and over again.
"Lan Po, ever since I took over the position of Ma family's Heavenly Master, I know that the fate of women in the Ma family is doomed to be tragic.
The journey of conquering demons is full of difficulties, dangers, darkness and loneliness. On this journey, you can let go of anything, but the only thing you cannot give up is hope.
What we are looking for has always been... hope in the darkness. "
As she spoke, Ma Xiaoyu tore off the clothes on Yin Xiu's chest, bit her fingers hard, and drew a spell on Yin Xiu's chest with blood.
Then, she clenched her palm into a fist and hit Yin Xiu's chest hard, again and again.
"Ma family's psychic spell..."
Lan Po recognized the talisman at a glance, but her expression did not change much, because the talisman was only a representative rune of the Ma family and could not summon spirits.
But at this moment, her originally drooped eyelids suddenly lifted up and widened, and a strange light appeared in her cloudy eyes.
Ma Xiaoyu's body was filled with golden energy, and a golden dragon was flying vaguely in the clouds, roaring, and coiling around her body.
"Ma family's guardian dragon!?"
Lan Po didn't say anything, she was horrified.
This dragon is said to have been conquered by the ancestors of the Ma family during the Qin Dynasty. It has served the Ma family for nearly 2000 years, and its magic power has gradually been exhausted.
When Lan Po was young, their generation had already regarded the Ma family's guardian dragon as a totem or legend, but did not think it was an actual existence.
"The Ma family's guardian dragon has awakened..."
As if she felt something from her heart, Ma Xiaoyu once again activated her magic power, and her golden light shone brightly again.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, the universe borrows the law, the universe and the five elements, the yin and yang are reversed, the barriers are invisible, the dragon god orders!"
Golden light condensed on Ma Xiaoyu's hand, and her fist landed on Yin Xiu's chest again.
Wisps of white clouds rose from Yin Xiu's body, and faintly turned into a flying dragon, confronting the golden dragon on Ma Xiaoyu's body.
Ma Xiaoyu was in the middle of the game and couldn't see the situation clearly, but Lan Po standing behind her could see it clearly.
"Bai Dizi!?" Lan Po was so surprised that she couldn't scream.
She has lived for so many years and has never seen such an outrageous thing in her life.
Although she had already seen that Yin Xiu had the luck of the hidden dragon, she never expected that it was actually Bai Dizi.
Between the two flying dragons, they turned into steaming clouds and disappeared without a trace.
"It smells so good, so soft..."
Yin Xiu sniffed it vigorously for a few times, then leaned her face into Ma Xiaoyu's arms.
