After Wuming lit up the cave, he went inside. Except for the sound of running water behind him, he didn't hear any other sounds. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw an open door in front of him.
This surprised Wuming. Is this cave actually a human cave? Previously he thought it was just a mandrill's nest.
The gate was more than three meters high. It was made of wood and looked like it had a long history. There was nothing special about it. After Wuming checked it and found no traps, he went in with confidence.
When Wuming walked into the door, he saw a shocking scene. There was a cave behind the door.
What caught the eye was a palace-like house, which was larger than any house Wuming had ever seen in Lishan Town. But this was not what shocked Wuming. What really shocked Wuming was that the space was very large. It's hundreds of feet high. Could it be that the mountain has been hollowed out?
Could it be that the owner of this cave is a very powerful practitioner? Wuming thought.
At this time, there was an object in the yard that attracted Wuming's attention. It was a child's embroidered shoe. Wuming picked up the shoe and looked at it and found that it had been dropped here recently. It was very new, not an unknown number of years ago. items.
This discovery made Wuming very happy. The lack of traces of those children along the way made Wuming feel uneasy. Now he felt a little more at ease. He didn't see the children's bones, so it didn't mean that the children must be dead.
On the way to the spring, he saw the skull again on the road where he saw the child's skull yesterday. This time there was enough light. When he looked carefully, he found that it was the skull of a monkey. The body structure of humans and monkeys was similar, and the light was not good at that time. And in a hurry to catch up with the child, Wuming mistakenly identified it as a child's skull.
"Crunch——"
Wuming walked up the steps and pushed open the palace door. The old door, which had been there for an unknown period of time, made a creaking sound. The ground was filled with dust. It looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time.
However, it was precisely because of the dust that Wuming felt much more relaxed, because the dust was full of footprints, and the rows of footprints of different shades were disorderly.
Wuming knelt down and took a look, picked out the deepest row of footprints, and followed them.
This footprint does not look like human footprints. I think it belongs to the mandrill. If you follow these footprints, you may be able to find where the children are.
When Wuming followed the footprints to a secret room, Wuming opened the door of the secret room and saw five or six children lying on the stone floor. They all had their eyes closed tightly and were in a coma.
But this secret room gave Wuming an ominous feeling, because there was a sarcophagus in the secret room. The sarcophagus was seven feet long and covered with various patterns carved on it. There was a stone tablet next to the sarcophagus.
Wuming cautiously looked forward at the stone tablet. The words on the stone tablet were vigorous and powerful. He saw that it read: "My name is Ye Xiaozi. I have been practicing Taoism for thousands of years. However, I was injured while fighting for a secret treasure. The injury was too serious to recover. In the end, I If you want to die with regret, if future generations enter my cave and see this coffin, they can take the elixir on the table beside it. This elixir can help people cultivate Taoism and become immortals."
After reading the text on the stele, Wuming knew who was in the coffin. This was a cultivator named Ye Xiaozi. He lost to the opponent in the treasure hunt and was severely injured. In the end, he died of his injuries. Before he died, he also left some elixirs for those who came after him.
Wuming looked at the stone table aside. There was a small bottle on the table. It seemed that this was the bottle of elixir left by Ye Owl.
Wuming picked up the bottle and took a look at it. The bottle was made of some kind of jade that Wuming didn't know. It was extremely moist and it was still intact even after an unknown amount of time.
Opening the bottle cap, he poured out the five pills in the bottle. Wuming looked at them and did not swallow the pills directly. Instead, he took the pills back into the bottle and put the bottle into the Qiankun bag.
Wuming observed in the secret room again and found nothing else, so he planned to take these children and leave.
When Wuming picked up one of the children, he suddenly said: "Why don't you do something?" The child in his hand suddenly opened his eyes: "How did you find out?"
The voice coming out of the child's mouth was not the innocent voice of a child, but an old and sharp voice.
"Because I can't figure out why the mandrill caught these children. These children are still here, so it can be seen that they were not caught to eat." Wuming said what he first discovered was wrong.
"It seems that you were the one who beat the mandrill to death? If it weren't for you, why would I have taken away this child with such a poor talent?" The child's voice was as sharp as an eagle. Wuming felt it was hard to hear, but the words from his mouth confirmed it. My own opinion.
Sure enough, this child was taken away by this old monster. After entering the secret room, he felt something was wrong. Apart from these children, there was also the sarcophagus. The pattern on the sarcophagus gave him a bad feeling and was full of monsters.
Also, the coffin board of the sarcophagus was not covered properly and a corner was exposed. This child was the closest to the sarcophagus.
When Wu Ming was with Ren Pingsheng, he heard Ren Pingsheng say many things about cultivation, including seizing the body.
This is a method that can only be used by cultivators who have cultivated their souls. They can let their souls enter other people's bodies, kill their souls, and finally occupy their bodies.
Wuming didn't think about seizing the body at first, but he thought about the possibility after thinking about the body of a powerful cultivator in the sarcophagus and the children on the ground. After all, no one knows what will happen, so it's always better to be cautious. Yes, and the name Night Owl always makes him feel like he is not a good person.
Wuming had observed in advance that there was nothing else in the secret room, and there should be no other back-up plans, so he chose to take action at this time.
"Hmph! So what if you find out? As a kid who has not yet entered the Soul Refining Realm, what can you do to me?" The child in Wuming's hands showed a cold expression that should not belong to a child.
"Come out, do you have the nerve to attack a child?" Wuming tried to let the old monster's soul come out on its own, but there was no way. As the old monster said, he was only a practitioner in the soul refining realm. If he wanted to cultivate the soul, he must at least break through the soul. Only when you reach the Naling realm.
"Dreaming! After waiting for such a long time, I finally succeeded in seizing the body. You want me to give up. It's impossible!" the child roared.
"Oh, really? But if I kill this child directly, will you come out? And your current soul power shouldn't be enough to support another seizure, right?" Wuming said, grabbing the child's neck with one hand. , and soon the child's face turned red from suppressing it, and his calves kept fluttering.
"Ahhhhh!" The old monster spirit in the child roared helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that the mandrill didn't come back yesterday, which made him feel uneasy, he wouldn't be so hasty to seize the body. Moreover, there is no talented person among these children. He was able to pick out the best one among them. He was still a child and didn't have much strength. Originally, he thought that the boy in front of him would not kill him because of the child's life.
But he didn't expect Wuming to take action directly. If this kid hadn't interfered with him, he wouldn't be in such a situation now. Thinking about how glorious he was before, now he fell into the hands of a mere Soul Refining Realm, which made him extremely angry. .
"Stop, cough, stop, I'm coming out!" Seeing that the child was about to die, Wuming let go of his hand and put him on the ground. But just when he let go, he saw a bright light coming out of the child's forehead. , hitting him directly, Wuming wanted to open more, but the light was too fast, and it was impossible to avoid it.
As a result, another nameless person fell in the stone room.
"This damn boy, you have to blame yourself if you want to blame! If you hadn't ruined my good deeds, you wouldn't have been taken away from me. Even if my soul is hurt and I have to sleep for a while, I still have to teach you a lesson!"
Ye Owl's soul emerged. It was an old man with a hooked nose wearing a black robe. At this time, Ye Owl didn't look very good, and his figure was illusory and looming.
"Huh?" Ye Xiaozi frowned at this time, "Why is there darkness in this kid's sea of consciousness?" You must know that the sea of consciousness of ordinary people should be like the sky and the sea, not this chaos, and the nameless soul is lying in front of him. Keep your eyes closed.
Because Wuming has not cultivated the soul, it is still just a soul, but even if Ye Xiaozi is weak at this time, it will be easy to deal with the current Wuming.
Just when Ye Xiaozi raised his withered hand to kill Wuming.
Suddenly Ye Owl felt an unusual aura and looked behind him, and saw a palace standing behind him.
It didn't look as big as the palace where he himself was buried. "What's the origin of this kid? There is actually a palace in the sea of consciousness. I wonder if there are any treasures in it." After looking at it for a moment, the Night Owl who had been practicing for thousands of years couldn't tell. There is something extraordinary about this palace, so I feel relieved.
When Ye Xiaozi stepped onto the steps of the palace, the palace shook violently, knocking him down. Before he could react, he saw the palace rising from the ground and falling with a crash, pressing him under it. This monk Thousands of years of cultivating Ye Xiaozi came to an end.
I'm afraid Ye Xiaozi never thought that he would die like this.
When Wuming's soul woke up, Wuming only felt an extremely severe headache, as if someone had hit him with a stone.
When Wuming felt the pain subsided, he stood up and looked around, "Is this?" Wuming looked at the darkness around him in shock, but a sense of familiarity came over him, as if he had been here before.
The sound of "buzz" attracted Wuming's attention, and Wuming saw that the palace that had previously killed Ye Owl was now buzzing, as if to attract his attention.
"Is this?" Wuming recalled that during the Lishan Town catastrophe, he was pierced through the heart by someone from the Blood God Cult and fell into a coma. After the coma, he only saw darkness, and then Uncle Li and others appeared. He wanted to The figures chasing them finally came to the palace.
At that time, he wanted to go up to the palace, but he passed out again after walking a few steps. When he woke up, he saw Ren Pingsheng guarding his bed.
So why did you come here again this time? Wu Ming is puzzled.
