Seeing the uninhabited jungle in front of him, Jiang You couldn't help but feel puzzled. You must know that just after the hunting conference, the mountain forest was full of traces of humans hunting monsters, and it was basically impossible for a jungle like this one to maintain its original appearance. .
The fact is that this is the case, but it can only explain that there are monsters in this area that the human race is afraid of, or that there are no monsters at all, otherwise there will be more or less traces of battles.
However, Lin Fei and others seemed extremely lucky, as it seemed that this meant that the materials were safe, and they immediately followed the sketch and headed deeper through the obstacles.
As everyone continued to go deeper, no one could see the familiar landmarks anymore. It was as if they had entered a strange area. They could not distinguish between east and west, north and south. Even the heaven and earth could not sense any vitality. It's like being cut off from heaven and earth.
"Are you really not mistaken? This is really where you hide your supplies?"
At this time, even Xue Zhou, who has the highest level of cultivation, has to be vigilant. You must know that in this place where the devil energy cannot be replenished, everyone's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
At this time, even Lin Fei couldn't help but feel uneasy. He couldn't help but ask Tong Bi, "Is your picture correct?"
"It's definitely true." Tong Bi nodded, "And these strange phenomena don't mean that we are approaching the target."
"What goal?" Xue Zhou couldn't help but asked suspiciously.
Lin Fei prevaricated, "This is where the supplies are buried. The sketch says that there is no vitality in that place. It seems we are close to our destination."
Xue Zhou frowned, but thinking that he had a little more confidence by hiding his cultivation, he motioned for everyone to continue to follow, wanting to see what the conspiracy of this group of human monks was.
After walking for more than a hundred steps, everyone finally broke through the thorny wild road, and a moss-covered stone step appeared in front of them.
remains! Even if he had little experience with the outside world, he knew what was going on immediately. It was no wonder that this group of people would rather risk being killed by the demons to run into the mountains. It turned out that they had discovered a ruins. Treasure Map.
Jiang You's expression was also startled. He had also heard about the history of Tianmen. The ancient battlefield once had a royal bloodline second only to the capital. It has always been an area that has been repeatedly contested by various forces. It is also Because, the war that lasted for thousands of years caused Tianmen's spiritual veins to gradually collapse, and eventually it became a small county under Wuwei County.
But even if Tianmen has fallen, there are still large and small relics hidden within its territory. Some people have reached the sky because of these relics, and many people have disappeared since then. Most of them fell into these relics.
But even if the ruins are in danger, wealth can be gained through risk. Compared with the huge gains, all risks become inconspicuous. Everyone believes that they will be the luckiest one, just like Jiang You bought the lottery ticket. generally.
However, Lin Fei is not a reckless person. Precisely because there is a huge danger in this ruins, they also need this group of cannon fodder like Xuezhou, not to mention that the other party is just practicing Qi and cultivation. If there is any chance, they will have a way to check and balance. .
"You guys open the way in front, and you will benefit from it when we get back." Lin Fei gave instructions to Xue Zhou and others.
Xuezhou also quickly understood the thoughts of this group of human monks. Since the map and initiative were in the opponent's hands, it was difficult for him to reveal his identity, so he simply chose to use the trick. Now he is acting as cannon fodder in front of him. If he encounters any treasure, he will be exposed again. Not too late.
"Okay, the seniors are following us. The stone steps are slippery. Seniors, please be careful." Xue Zhou also squeezed out a flattering smile and said, after all, if you go to the front, you will have the opportunity to touch the treasure first.
Jiang Youzheng was about to follow Xuezhou and others, but was stopped by Tong Bi.
"Miss Lin Xu, this journey is not as easy as imagined. Please follow me so that I can protect you." Tong Bi smiled maliciously.
To be honest, Jiang You really wanted to be like Tong Xi and beat up Tong Bi, but considering the current situation, she could only endure it, so she imitated Lin Xu and said charmingly: "Thank you very much, Tong Bi." Senior brother."
Everyone continued to go down the stone steps, but they were stopped by a stone door. This stone door was obviously younger than the stone steps. There were several big words written on it: Tianmen Forbidden Land, Passers-by Stopped, Wuwei County City Guards Huo Qingfeng !
"This is where you hide your supplies. Why was it blocked by King Zhongwu?" Xue Zhou joked. He also knew that he couldn't act stupid at this time.
Since he couldn't pretend anymore, Lin Fei said straight to the point: "Since you can see it, we can't say more, but now it's too late for you to regret it. If you are obedient, we will not treat you badly, but If you don’t understand current affairs, then don’t blame us for being rude.”
Xue Ling frowned and was about to teach the arrogant Lin Fei a lesson, but was stopped by Xue Zhou.
"Don't worry, boss, we are not stupid. Since our boss trusts us, we will naturally try our best to do things for our boss." Xue Zhou said and tried to open the stone door, but found that the stone door was motionless.
"Master, why can't you open it?" Xue Zhou pretended to be confused.
"How come you can't handle the place sealed by King Zhongwu?" Lin Fei said disdainfully.
He then looked at Tong Bi. Tong Bi took out an object like a tiger charm and placed it in the groove of the door. The stone door opened by itself.
"Is it that simple? Could it be that that fellow Taoist is from Huo Jiajun?" Xue Zhou asked tentatively.
Tong Bi said without hiding anything: "No, the map keys were all found from the corpse of a Jindan monk. Presumably the corpse should be that of a county government official who was captured by the devil when he was fleeing with these items." He was killed by his clan, and then he was killed by the guards of the royal tomb after he became a corpse slave, so these things were picked up by me."
"Then did you say there are any opportunities in this ruins? And why was it blocked?" Xue Zhou asked again.
Seeing that Lin Fei and others were very taboo, he added: "After all, we are exploring the road ahead, so we should be prepared."
Lin Fei nodded, and Tong Bi replied: "The original version of the map only said the Land of Eternal Life. It is unknown why this ruins were sealed."
"The land of eternal life?" Blood Spirit murmured.
"Does Junior Sister know anything?" Xue Zhou asked doubtfully.
Blood Spirit shook his head and said: "I only heard my master say that even demons and immortals cannot be regarded as true immortals. They actually call it a place of eternal life. The person who named it is really bold."
Xue Ming shook his head and said: "I have heard that there was a group of people in ancient times who found other ways to achieve eternal life. The world calls them the Eternal Life Clan. I don't know if this place of eternal life is related to the Gate of Eternal Life."
"The Eternal Clan? Isn't that a legend?" Xueyu also asked doubtfully.
"The legend is not groundless." Xue Ming shook his head and said, "But I think they are exaggerating a bit. It is still possible to increase your life span by hundreds or even thousands of years. If immortality was really possible, the world would have changed drastically."
Jiang You also found it strange, but he had to say that the temptation of eternal life is huge. After all, this is also one of the ultimate goals of cultivation. Moreover, the limitations of cultivating immortality are not so much resources and qualifications, but limited lifespan. Every cultivator is like racing against time, but if you gain eternal life from the beginning, all restrictions will become meaningless. Everything was just a matter of time. It was no wonder that Lin Fei and others dared to break into the ruins with only such a small number of people.
"What are you mumbling about?" Lin Fei said impatiently, "I've said everything I should tell you, and the door has been opened. It's time for you to go in and take a look."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Xue Zhou and others, but thinking that the time was not yet ripe, these human monks also had value, so they also walked towards the cave in cooperation.
Perhaps because King Zhongwu had been here before, this cave was not as dangerous as imagined. Although some broken mummies could be seen, they had already lost their vitality, so there was nothing to be wary of.
"Junior brothers and sisters, come and see, are these mummies demons or humans?" Xueyu asked, looking at a mummy.
Xueyu's words also attracted everyone's attention. Since the demons took away the vitality of others during their cultivation, the vitality in their bodies was more likely to dissipate when they died, and the corpses would quickly decay and fester after death. However, the vitality in human monks' bodies was stable, even if After death, they will also accumulate in the body, so they often become mummies.
But the mummy in front of me seemed to be intact, but only the muscles and organs remained, but the internal bones and surface skin were completely gone, so it looked extremely strange.
"Who are these people?" Xue Zhou couldn't help but ask.
"If I guess correctly, these people should be both immortal cultivators and demon cultivators." Xueyu murmured.
"How is that possible?" Lin Fei said with a disdainful smile: "As the saying goes, a person who becomes a demon once will become a demon for life. The transformation of Dantian is difficult to reverse. Even if a demon cultivator can use the moves of an immortal cultivator, it is just a superficial appearance. After all, their inner nature is fundamentally different from those of immortal cultivators."
"That's not necessarily true. The demon can switch between humans and demons at will." Xueyu shook his head.
"You mean these people are all demons? How is this possible?" Xue Zhou said in disbelief.
"I didn't say that, but he seems to have borrowed some characteristics of the demon, so these people have two sets of meridians and two dantian." Xueyu shook his head.
"If it's true what you said, what's the point of doing this?" Lin Fei still said disdainfully.
Xueyu said lightly: "The demons are physically powerful, but the connection between humans and heaven and earth is stronger than that of the demons. Once the demons merge into one, they can combine the advantages of the two and absolutely overwhelm existences of the same level."
"But if it's true, how did he do it?" Xue Zhou also wondered.
"I don't know this, but this is the fact. Perhaps it is based on the characteristics of the demon's disintegration and reorganization." Xueyu frowned, "Seeing such an existence, I wouldn't be surprised if a copy of the demon appeared in it. .”
