There are still lamps hanging on one side of the cave entrance, the heat is overwhelming and blood is everywhere;
On the other side of the cave entrance is a dark cave with two people lying on the ground. One is Yuan Bao, his flesh and blood are blurred, his breath is still lingering, and he is still moaning; the other is Fu Yuan, also covered in blood, with a frightened look on his face, waving his hands repeatedly. Clearly praying for life.
Three others stood aside.
Yu Ye, dragging his long sword, looked towards the end of the cave. Tens of feet away, there is another cave opening leading to an unknown place.
Wen Gui stared at Yuan Bao on the ground with hatred on his face.
Lai Mian, still with a dark face, suddenly walked over. Yuan Baoshang was groaning, and his head was crushed by his foot. Suddenly, a ray of light penetrated the body and flew up, and he caught it in his hand. He was a small man, covered in golden light. Although his eyes were closed, he had a look of despair. He took out a jade bottle, put the little man into it, then used a restraint to seal the mouth of the bottle, and then raised his foot to kick Fu Yuan.
"ah--"
Amidst the screams, the two Tianfu Sect disciples were either trampled to death or kicked to death. Their respective souls could not escape, and their end was extremely bloody and miserable.
Wen Gui couldn't help but secretly gasped when he saw Lai Mian's cruel methods.
"Senior, why do you keep your soul..."
Lai Mian ignored him, picked up the relics, and then turned and walked away.
Wen Gui's eyes flashed with greed, and he whispered: "If you refine the magic pill, don't forget to leave me a share..."
Lai Mian paused, his eyes twitching, sighed heavily, and continued walking forward.
Wen Gui shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Yu...?"
The junior brother turned his back, as if he was trying to avoid being tortured. But he saw him waving his sword again, and a light fell down.
"What do you do with it?"
The glazed jade lamp is used for lighting, but for monks, it is more like a useless thing.
"This thing looks weird!"
Yu Ye put away the strange lamp and the long sword.
In the dark cave, three people filed forward.
After more than a hundred feet, there was no way forward.
But Lai Mian stood in front of a stone wall, his face was much more relaxed, and he whispered: "The restrictions here have been greatly weakened, enough to use the escape method to leave."
Wen Gui walked closer and suddenly felt that the burden on his body was greatly relieved, and the stagnant Qi in his body gradually became smoother. He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, it's true!"
Yu Ye stopped and silently looked at the way he came.
The cave entrance from where we came has disappeared into the darkness, and the once unbearable scorching heat is no longer so hot and compelling.
Looking back on the previous thrilling encounters, it is not difficult to deduce that the thorn-eating marten likes to devour mana and spiritual energy. Yuan Bao, Fu Yuan, and Shen Bao hid underground to raise monsters, and set traps to hunt down monks from all sides, not wanting to meet them. He met a group of tough opponents and ended up losing his life.
"Wen Gui——"
Suddenly, the voice sounded again, but with a bit more murderous intent?
Yu Ye hurriedly turned back.
Lai Mian stared at Wen Gui and said indifferently: "Give me an explanation, otherwise, you should know the consequences!"
"ah……"
Wen Gui was shocked.
What are the consequences?
Oh, he witnessed Lai Mian killing people, especially Kuang Ning. If it were leaked out, E'an and Tianji Sect would definitely turn against him and become enemies.
The consequence is that only one person between him and Lai Mian can leave this place alive.
This is to silence them. Why are they doing nothing in the wild?
Wen Gui glanced back and said hurriedly: "He and I..." Before he could say anything, he hurriedly confirmed: "Junior brother Yu and I have already reached an agreement. We will be enemies in public and join forces secretly. The two of us are accomplices..."
Yu Ye stood aside, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Lai Mian's face became more gloomy, obviously angry.
Yu Ye rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "This fellow Taoist Wen Gui calls himself a disciple of Tianfu Sect..."
He and Wen Gui or Lai Mian were all entangled, and it was difficult to
To explain, simply avoid mentioning it. But in the eyes of both parties, it turned out to be his deliberate deception.
"lie!"
Lai Mian raised his hand to interrupt and asked: "If he was a disciple of Tianfu Sect, how could he ignore the murder of Yuan Bao and others?"
"I……"
Wen Gui hesitated and said, "I am not familiar with the disciples. Whether Yuan Bao and others live or die has nothing to do with me..."
However, Yu Ye was too lazy to investigate his origins. He pointed at Lai Mian and said, "This fellow Taoist Lai is similar to Senior Brother Wen. He asked me for help when he had something to do and promised to protect me. He can be regarded as my accomplice. Alas--" He couldn't bear to be annoyed. He sighed and said, "You don't save yourself, you add insult to injury. There are no such accomplices in the world. It's really unlucky to meet you two!"
"hehe!"
Wen Gui suddenly smiled awkwardly.
Although Lai Mian's doubts could not be eliminated, he had no choice but to put away his murderous intention and said: "We have a guarantee in the wild, let's stop."
"I also believe in Junior Brother Yu's character. With him as my guarantee, nothing will happen to me. I hope fellow Taoist disciples will take care of me in the future!"
"Hmph, Ke Zhao and Kuang Ning are dead. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to E'an..."
"There's nothing wrong with the materials. In my opinion, this, this, this..."
After a while, the three people who had their own secrets reached an agreement, and then tried to use escape techniques to escape upwards through the stone wall one after another. .
The morning is hazy.
Three figures emerged from the valley.
Looking away with his consciousness, the Black Dragon Pond was dozens of miles away.
Standing in the diffuse morning mist and blowing the cool mountain breeze, whether it is Yu Ye, Wen Gui or Lai Mian, they all feel as if they are in another world. And each of them flew up without any intention of delay...
Two hours later.
The three of them came to a mountain forest.
The trip to Black Dragon Pond was full of dangers, and now that we were out of trouble, we had to find a place to rest.
Yu Ye was sitting on a protruding tree root. The tree trunk behind him was more than ten feet thick. The towering tree crown blocked out the sun, and the place he was in was unusually quiet.
Wen Gui and Lai Mian were sitting a few feet away.
Although the two were suspicious of each other, had different origins, and had different intentions, they unexpectedly became allies.
Because of Yu Ye's guarantee?
What else is guaranteed?
Yu Ye raised his eyes and glanced around, shook his head secretly, and sealed the surrounding area with a restraint. He took out the spirit stone with one hand and pressed it into his palm, and took out two jade slips with the other hand and looked at them intently.
The trip to Black Dragon Pond is dangerous but also rewarding.
That's all about spiritual stones, elixirs, and magic weapons. What he cares more about is the skills. In other words, the skills of Tianfumen Yulingtang. Looking through Shen Bao's belongings, he found an article on "Spirit Control" and "Spirit Refining".
"The Art of Controlling Spirits" is similar to the Art of Controlling Beasts. It records the habits and hobbies of many monsters, as well as the thorn-devouring marten, as well as the special methods of sacrifice and driving.
The thorn-eating marten, also known as the spirit-eating beast, lives in groups, is bloodthirsty, and is good at fighting. It likes to devour spiritual energy and mana, and especially likes to live in the depths of spiritual veins. However, it is difficult to summon because of the rich spiritual energy, so it uses the strange light of the glazed jade lamp. Summon drives, etc.
Yu Ye raised his right hand and grinned slightly.
The thumb, index finger, and middle finger of his right hand were respectively equipped with a beast-taming ring and two spirit-taming rings.
In the beast control ring, there is a large piece of spiritual stone that he snatched. Two spiritual rings, one contains his six-winged golden salamander, and the other contains seventy or eighty thorn-eating martens. If you take this group of clever and clever monsters for your own use, wouldn't it mean that you have a group of helpers who can fight together, find spiritual veins, and break the restrictions of formations?
The "Spiritual Refining Technique" claims to be derived from demon cultivators, imitating the wonders of birds, beasts and spirits. It is a method of tempering the body and forging muscles and bones.
What is the cultivation of demons? There is no clear explanation in the exercises. It only says that monsters can channel spirits, and self-cultivation methods, such as spirit snakes and wild foxes, have the same origin and all methods belong to the same origin. In short, it is also a kind of immortal cultivation, but it has different ways.
And that heavy long sword is the sword of a demon cultivator, made of meteoric iron and black gold. It is not afraid of water and fire, can kill yin and yang, and is powerful enough to break mountains and break rocks...
Two days later.
The three of them woke up from their meditation.
There are five places to visit during the trip to Shenglong Ridge, including Black Dragon Pond, Crouching Tiger Beach, Tianjin Temple, Baihu Cave and Feixian Valley. According to the itinerary, after Black Dragon Pond, go to Tianshen Temple, and finally arrive at Feixian Valley to meet E'an and others.
No one can tell where Tianjin Temple is. They only know that it is located in the northeast, two to three thousand miles away.
As for where to go, Lai Mian didn't bother to ask. He just wanted to find Guiyuan as soon as possible and asked the woman in red to spare his life. What made him most angry and helpless was Yu Ye, who still had no idea about Guiyuan's whereabouts.
"Junior Brother Yu, let's get going——"
With no one else present, Wengui becomes considerate. He found out the general direction of where he was going and smiled at Yu Ye.
…
at dusk.
Three people flew in from a distance.
But I saw a large valley surrounded by mountains.
The further we go, the thicker the fog becomes. After dozens of miles, a lonely peak suddenly appeared. It is actually a mountain peak covering an area of more than ten miles. It stands alone in the empty valley, but it is surrounded by heavy haze and it is difficult to distinguish the clues.
The three of them slowed down their castration.
As we got closer, we could see that the solitary peak shrouded in haze was hundreds of feet high, but it was bare and barren of grass. It looked like a majestic tower standing between the silent and desolate world.
The top of the solitary peak is quite flat, like a huge stone platform guarded by layers of stone steps. In the middle of the stone platform, there are dozens of stone pillars standing. Each stone pillar is more than ten feet thick and more than ten feet high. Although it is mottled and damaged by wind, it still has a mysterious and extraordinary atmosphere.
The three of them circled the mountain several times and landed on a stone step at the top of the mountain.
On both sides of the stone steps, there were more than a dozen Jindan and Foundation-building monks resting, but they were all swaying around and looking distracted.
Is this Tenjinji Temple?
Wen Gui and Yu Ye exchanged suspicious glances and walked towards the two golden elixir monks. No matter how he asked, the other party said nothing, just stretched out his hand to signal, and shook his head repeatedly as if the fear was still lingering.
Lai Mian had discovered something and said: "You two, let's see——"
Yu Ye followed the sound and looked.
Between the two tall stone pillars, there is still a section of beam and a broken plaque, and the word "天" can be vaguely discerned. Although I didn’t see the other two words, I already concluded that this was the Tenjin Temple I was looking for.
Wen Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Haha, this is a historical site, but the blue sky is still there, the true God is hard to find!"
He seems to be joking, but he has a profound meaning.
Yu Ye was a little curious and asked: "What is a god?"
Lai Mian raised his feet and walked up the two stone steps, stood up with his head held high, and said to himself: "There are so many people who cultivate immortality. But those who cultivate to the point of becoming an immortal are rare. Those who cultivate to the Mahayana realm, even more They are as few as stars. Only those who are above the Mahayana realm can be immortal, walk around the stars, traverse the yin and yang, and are omnipotent. They are called gods!"
Yu Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
God, it sounds good, but he just listens to it, and everything in the distance has nothing to do with him. If he could cultivate to the realm of Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation in this life, he would be satisfied.
At this moment, a figure flashed between the stone pillars.
"Huh?"
Wen Gui was surprised and flew after him.
Yu Ye also had a look on his face, and Lai Mian followed closely...
