The Qinghe River originates from the top of the peaks. There is a section of the inner valley above the inner valley that is particularly long, narrow and deep, where the forbidden area of Canye Pavilion is located.
The moon has passed over the willow trees, and everything is quiet. A few fellow practitioners who stayed in the pavilion are practicing and sleeping, and few people come out to move around.
The two black figures, using the cover of the terrain, held their breath and kept silent all the way, sneakily touching the edge of the forbidden area.
There are heavy shadows of trees, luxuriant water and grass, and under the pale moonlight, the sparkling clear river is reflected in it, making people feel like there are gusts of wind and ghosts.
Looking around, Yunli walked directly to a red tree and reached out to feel among the scattered blue stones.
"Look carefully, don't play with water." Wei Lin, who was looking for abnormalities seriously, glanced back at her and said helplessly.
"Do you think I'm playing with water?" Yunli looked at him in surprise, tapping her fingertips on the bluestone, "There is indeed a problem!"
Wei Lin was startled, then walked over and asked, "What do you see in your eyes?"
"A pile of bluestones piled haphazardly."
Wei Lin closed his eyes, opened them again, and saw the sparkling water in front of him. He stretched out his hand and touched it, and it felt like water. He asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
"Very sure!" Yunli dug around in the bluestone for a while and pulled out a small irregular stone from the gap between two scattered rocks. Wei Lin felt that the scene in front of him was shaking, and the rippling river surface suddenly turned into a pile of bluestone. Under the tree, a hidden well appeared.
"Oh, the phantom formation doesn't exist!" Yunli glanced at the formation carved on the stone, curled her lips and said in disgust: "The carving is really rough."
"There is no water." Wei Lin's consciousness revealed that there was a curved tunnel as high as a person under the well, protected by a spiritual energy shield. He took the lead and jumped down, followed closely by Yunli.
"Ah! It's poisonous!"
As soon as I landed, the shallow water flowing between the stone crevices under my feet was green and bubbling, and green smoke was rising in the dry place.
Yunli glanced at Wei Lin worriedly. There were so many poisons, but her senior brother was not like her. He had golden light in his blood to protect his body and was not afraid of poisons. What if a hole in the aura mask was exposed and he was poisoned? So he suggested: "How about you go up and I'll go investigate."
"No, there may be other dangers." Wei Lin decisively refused.
She was about to retort, but then she thought about so many poisons. The source of the venom was probably a snake. She couldn't even ask for help when encountering a snake, so she agreed.
After walking a certain distance and exiting the secret passage, a wooden bridge with twists and turns appeared in the distance ahead. Under the wooden bridge was green venom. The two of them were shocked and even more energetic.
"There seems to be something moving on the bridge!"
Yunli exclaimed as his spiritual consciousness detected the clear shape ahead, his figure flashed, and the two of them reached the wooden bridge in the blink of an eye.
On the gray-green dilapidated wooden bridge, there are scattered people lying on it. There are poor people in short brown shirts, rich people in luxurious clothes, rickety old people, and children in the corner. Now, they are all without exception. His eyes were empty, his skin was pale, and he was unconscious. He was twisting on the wooden bridge as if his bones had been ripped out.
"These are all mortals!" Yunli was shocked and reached out to check the nearest poisonous person, "Is he poisoned?"
"Don't touch!" Wei Lin pulled her back a few steps with a solemn look on his face, "They are witches."
"Witch and Gu man?" Yunli was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said in surprise: "The curse of the Witch and Gu sect!"
Isn’t the Witch Gu Sect gone? Could it be that someone escaped or that some of the people who participated in the extermination secretly hid the magic of witchcraft?
"It's a combination of curse and poison." Wei Lin shot out a burst of spiritual power and immobilized the person twisting on the ground. "There is no heartbeat anymore. This is a Gu corpse."
These mortals could not bear the poison and poison and died, but their bodies were turned into copper-skinned iron bones by the poison cannon, which was indestructible and indestructible. At the same time, they were driven by the poisonous insects and became walking zombies.
"If you use such cruel methods on mortals, aren't you afraid of the karma fire thunder when you ascend?" Yunli felt anger gathering in his heart. Even a cult should have a bottom line.
Almost all the jade slips of common sense about cultivation mention that monks cannot attack mortals at will, otherwise the karma and fire sky thunder will rise geometrically when they ascend, and they will easily be wiped out.
But Can Ye Pavilion seems to have no taboos. It doesn't care about the murderers who slaughtered the whole family and the city. Now they are even refining mortals into Gu corpses. Don't they want to ascend to the upper world?
His thin fingers tapped his legs twice, and the intermittent clues in his mind started to connect. Wei Lin said: "Do you remember the previous Zhou Dynasty?"
"Zhou Guo?" She blinked her eyes and noticed something she hadn't noticed before. The prince in the painting book was the first to be found to have spiritual roots.
At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was weak, the heroes were divided, and was about to die. After the prince of the Zhou Dynasty was discovered to have the twin spiritual roots of fire and earth, the Zhou Dynasty re-stabilized its rule with the support of the monks. It was not until thirty years later that the Hanqi Li family came out of Shuimu. A disciple of Shuanglinggen, the Li family destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and established the Liang Kingdom.
The four major sects are interfering in the national destiny of the world, and they are still continuing to this day. Yunli was stunned for a long time, muttering to himself: "Interfering in the national destiny of a country, such a huge karmic result, is worse than refining mortals into Gu corpses." ,them"
"Not only Canye Pavilion, but also the four major sects don't care about karma and consequences, or they don't care about ascension," Wei Lin took over and said what she didn't dare to say, "No, if you don't care about ascension, you won't be so desperate. If you practice cultivation, there is no hope of ascension!"
He recalled Lan Shu's unintentional words when he was apprenticed, "If it hadn't been for the sudden change and ban on the mainland, my uncle would have ascended to the upper world long ago." '
"Banned in mainland China? Never heard of it!"
"If everyone knew about this kind of thing, Canglan Continent would not be in chaos." Wei Lin said thoughtfully, "Although not everyone knows about it, at least most people are aware of it."
Yunli blinked: "What you mean is that many people know it, but they just tacitly agree not to mention it, but their actions will unconsciously reveal self-destruction. How can a bloody killer organization like Can Ye Pavilion exist in the world of immortality?" It’s a proof, and so are the actions of the four major factions, huh?”
She suddenly stopped, pointed diagonally forward and said, "That Gu corpse seems to be a monk."
The Gu corpses I encountered before were all mortals and had no attack power. They were lying on the wooden bridge and could not stand except for occasionally twisting once or twice. However, the Gu corpse in front was actually walking on the wooden bridge!
Although its speed could be described as a snail's pace, it actually stood upright on its feet and walked little by little. There is still spiritual energy left in its body, and its body is stronger than the mortal Gu corpse in front of it.
She was very panicked, bit her lip, and said softly: "Tell me, can Zhu Ge do it?"
Wei Lin didn't say anything. If Zhu Ge was really here, he might have turned into a Gu corpse.
The slow-moving Gu corpse seemed to sense their presence and slowly walked towards them. Its body was limp, but its nails were sharp and long. When it was swung out, the air was rubbed with silver sparks.
The black and green nails were particularly eye-catching under the pale moonlight. He dodged to avoid its claws, and Wei Lin slashed out with his sword. His pale and skinny arm fell to the ground, but the fracture was as dry as firewood, without any trace of blood. share.
"Be careful, don't get scratched." Rubbing her arms, Yunli looked heavy, "Who on earth came up with such an evil thing? It's so heartbreaking, and more terrifying than zombies."
Fortunately, although the claws of these Gu corpses were sharp, their movements were slow and their attack power was not high. The two of them killed several approaching monk Gu corpses along the way, and finally reached the end of the wooden bridge.
"hiss--"
At the end of the wooden bridge, densely packed Gu corpses were staggering towards this side. In the green pool behind them, a steady stream of Gu corpses crawled out and joined the army of Gu corpses.
"Can they feel our breath? They can still send messages to each other! Why did so many gather at once?" Yunli secretly breathed, how many people must be captured to create such a large army of zombies!
"Uh help"
"it hurts."
what sound? Yunli squeezed Huanshi Ling tightly and looked around warily.
In the green pool filled with green smoke, pairs of green and white arms slowly stretched out, and pale faces floated in the viscous liquid. Their dull eyes saw the two people gathering a little bit of energy. They had not completely lost their minds.
With these people, Yunli unconsciously took two steps forward.
With his eyes focused, Wei Lin's Hengjian stood in front of her: "We can't scare the enemy away. It's getting dark. Let's leave first."
"But." Yunli raised her eyes and stared at him blankly. After a moment of silence, she took back her foot.
She couldn't save them, and they themselves couldn't escape Can Ye Pavilion, let alone bring these half-dead Gu corpses with them. Moreover, she couldn't undo the poison and curse of the Gu corpses.
A feeling of powerlessness came over me, strange yet familiar.
