Zhao Xingyu walked around to the blood pool and stared intently at the hanging mummies.
The skin that has been dried to a yellow-black color clings tightly to their bones. Their cheeks are sunken and their eyes are gray and their original appearance cannot be seen.
He put his fingers together, summoned a jade bottle, and used his spiritual power to collect half of the bottle's maggot blood.
Then a bit of cold light fell on the maggot's body, and a huge block of ice sealed it.
Zhao Xingyu put the maggots and the jade bottle into his storage bag, gave the girl next to him a look, turned around and left.
The two of them returned to the secret room one after another. Wang Dong, who was still screaming just now, was no longer there.
At this time, Jiang Ling'er had understood the five senses and said with confusion on her face, "Senior Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xingyu nodded, with a hint of solemnity in his brows, "I have asked people to look after your stall. Come with me to Qingyun Peak."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Jiang Ling'er also shut up and followed him to Qingyun Peak.
Qingyun Peak is the head of the main peak of Tianqing Sect and is subordinate to the leader.
The lobby was completely silent at this moment.
"Bang!" Master Fuguang's expression was extremely ugly, and a white-haired old man next to him slammed the inkstone next to him to the ground.
"Fu Guang, are you saying that the few missing disciples under Old Man's Peak all died after being sucked dry of flesh and blood by this maggot demon?"
The old man looked very excited and angry, "I told you a long time ago that the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage will accept this mission to die! If you don't listen, it's better now, it's better now!"
Master Fu Guang sighed heavily, with a complex expression on his face, "Fu Yu..."
"That's enough! I want to investigate this matter myself," Master Fu Yu looked ferocious, staring at the maggots in the ice, "I must find out the person behind this!"
Master Fu Guang glanced at Zhao Xingyu.
"Uncle Master," Zhao Xingyu cupped his hand, "you might as well leave this matter to me. If you do it yourself, I'm afraid you might alert the enemy."
"Yes, Fu Yu, now we finally have a clue. If your actions are noticed by them, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted? Those disciples...can't sacrifice in vain!" Master Fu Guangzhen saw that the old man was shaken. For a moment, he quickly spoke and continued to persuade.
At this time, a male cultivator behind Master Fu Yu also stood up and said loudly: "Master, if you always want to take action, please allow A Ming to investigate with the master!"
"Fool me, then fool me!" Fu Yu said in a muffled voice with blue veins popping out on his head. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhao Xingyu and Qin Ming, who had their heads lowered. , come back with me!" After that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Qin Ming bowed his hands to the three people in the hall and followed Fu Yu away.
Master Fu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Fu Yu had compromised.
He turned to look at the maggots in the ice, his eyes unclear, "Have they penetrated so deeply..."
Zhao Xingyu handed the jade bottle in his hand to the leader, "Master, this is the blood of that evildoer."
Fu Guang immediately took the jade bottle, half of the sadness on his face disappeared, and said happily: "Okay, okay, with this blood, and with the use of secret techniques, I won't worry about not being able to find them!"
Jiang Ling'er stood quietly aside. It took a while before the leader saw her.
"Ah Xing, who is this little girl?"
"High-level White Talisman Master." Zhao Xingyu's expression remained unchanged, "Same as a disciple."
Hearing this, Master Fu Guang nodded in understanding, with a smile on his face, and a hint of kindness and surprise, "There are many outstanding people in our clan, and the little girl has such abilities at such a young age. She looks like she is the same as Xue'er. age."
Then he turned his head, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Ah Xing, you haven't seen your sister much these days, how can you be worthy of your savior?"
"As her brother, I have the obligation to teach her well." Zhao Xingyu said expressionlessly, "I just want her to reflect on it for a few days. It won't make any difference."
"As long as you know what's going on..." The leader waved his sleeves helplessly and asked the two of them to sit down, "Come and sit down, come and sit down."
Zhao Xingyu cupped his hands and looked like he was about to leave, "Master, I still have important matters to attend to."
"I know, I know. You kid!" The leader glared at him, with a heavy look on his face, "Are you sure about this mission...?"
The cold male cultivator nodded and indicated that he could do it. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said, "But the disciple has a request."
"any request?"
He turned his head to the girl's position and nodded slightly, "I want her to cooperate with me in investigating the person behind the scenes. Master, will you allow me?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Master Fu Guang's solemn eyes. He gently stroked his beard with his big hand and glanced at Jiang Ling'er several times, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
"Of course, go ahead."
When the two left Qingyun Peak, the clouds on the horizon had darkened.
It's almost dark.
Jiang Ling'er had been holding back her words for a long time, but she swallowed them when she saw the hilt of the sword shining coldly on the back of the male cultivator in front of her.
"If you want to ask, just ask." Zhao Xingyu said calmly, his eyes were a bit colder than Han Jian.
"What's going on with the maggots? Judging from the master, they must have been checking for a long time."
Zhao Xingyu didn't look back, as if he already knew she wanted to ask this.
"A hundred years ago, a large crack appeared in the sky in the far north of Zhongzhou, and many giant maggots crawled out of it."
"They attach themselves to people's spines everywhere, controlling everything they say and do. They can even receive memories without any flaws."
At this point, he paused, "At that time, Tianqing Sect dispatched a total of three elders. The maggot demon can possess the body and control the body and even the mind. One of the elders was controlled, and the other two did not take precautions and both died of him. hand."
Jiang Linger felt goosebumps on her back when she remembered that the thing was still stuck to her skirt.
"Then what?"
"Later, the Supreme Elder sent three more elders. This time they all brought protective weapons and captured one alive."
"After long-term observation, the Supreme Elder said that the maggots can not only control people, but also create nightmares, making people fall into it and become possessed..."
Jiang Ling'er's head buzzed, creating a nightmare?
She thought of Yan Shu she saw that day, and felt an inexplicable fear in her heart.
Zhao Xingyu noticed something strange about her. He looked at her with his slender and cold eyes, and slowly said, "Tell me everything you know. Don't hide anything."
Jiang Ling'er stuttered and told the story, including the maggot monster she encountered that day in Tianshui City.
The male cultivator stared at her with an extremely deep look. He was also present that day, but he had never met the maggot demon.
"I understand, please go back. I will find you if necessary."
Jiang Ling'er nodded and left quickly without caring about his tone and attitude.
The little snake in her arms was still in a coma, and even though she had been given healing pills and rejuvenation pills, it would not help.
"This fat snake must have been frightened." Xiaoxu stuck his head out and kept calling in his mind, "Fat snake, fat snake, pig snake?"
"Okay, let's calm down for a while." Jiang Ling'er stopped him and asked with a frown: "Xiaoxu, do you think my previous nightmare was caused by the maggots?"
