boom! !
The battle between Corpse Puppet and Mu Haitang was very noisy. Even Yun He, who was maintaining such a long distance, could still feel the aftermath coming from the sea of clouds.
'Even if they are both in the early stage of forming pills, these two people are not ordinary monks who form pills. '
Yun He sighed secretly.
However, after the two collided several times, the noise gradually became smaller.
'it's over? '
Yun He did not dare to open his consciousness for fear of being discovered by them, so he could only shake his shoulders slightly, and from the crevices of his clothes, a green and yellow withered cicada flew out quietly.
The Deathly Sleeping Cicada's aura is weak and its speed is fast enough. If the opponent concentrates on fighting, it will be difficult to notice the Deathly Sleeping Cicada's existence.
only.
What Yun He didn't expect was that when the Sleeping Cicada quietly came to the surface of the surging clouds, he happened to see the two people leaving above his clouds one after the other.
Fortunately, the two of them were completely focused on each other and did not notice an insect like the Sleeping Cicada.
In fact, even if they find out, they will not pay too much attention to it after fighting to this extent, and will just treat it as a rare beast in the clouds.
But when he "saw" the appearance of the two of them, or rather "saw" the appearance of the descendant of the "Xuanjing Lake woodcutter", Yun He in the sea of clouds couldn't help but startled.
'Mu Haitang? '
Although the appearance was a little different, he still remembered the heavy sword.
He was deeply impressed by the monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment who initially made him feel vaguely threatening.
However, it seems now that the other party seemed to have hidden his cultivation at that time.
Suddenly.
The sinister wind blew violently, and the corpse puppet made seals with both hands, and a tight ball of green fire turned into a fiery snake and jumped out.
"Xuanming Yinyan!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Haitang exclaimed in a deep voice and immediately patted the storage bag.
A crystal clear bone shield appeared in his hand, and a circle of crystal light suddenly surrounded it.
boom! !
Violent collisions and roars erupted again, rolling up layers of clouds and waves.
With the impact of the "Xuan Ming Yin Flame", Mu Haitang instantly widened the distance from the corpse puppet, and took advantage of the situation to use his escape technique to quickly move away.
She can still barely resist now, but it will be hard to say when the two refined corpses released by Taoist Mujiao and the corpse puppet come back.
The Corpse Puppet finally found her, and was tricked by her again. It was obvious that he would not let him go so easily, so he immediately used his escape technique and chased after him.
After the two of them left completely, Yun He stayed silently in the sea of clouds for a while before finally appearing.
Looking at the direction they left, his expression was serious and his eyes were stern.
"'Xuanming Yinyan'. Bone Shield"
He turned to look at Jiaojian Island again.
He looked hesitant and guessing.
Seven days later.
Jiaojian Island.
A figure came to the messy island silently.
This person's breath was weak, his face was pale, and even his walking was a little frivolous, but he still staggered toward a hidden cave on the island.
only.
Before she could get closer, her pale and weak pretty face suddenly tightened, her sharp eyes looked around, a strange blush appeared on her face, and she said in a deep voice:
"Who? Come out!"
But no figure appeared.
But she seemed extremely determined and shouted again:
"If you don't come out, are you going to be asked to come out?"
Snap.
finally.
Footsteps sounded.
The man's body was tense, and the little mana left in his body was surging, ready to take action at any time.
But when she saw the figure appearing, she was slightly startled, and her face became more serious.
The alchemy monk.
"Fellow Taoist Mu, I don't mean any harm."
The figure that appeared raised his arms, revealing a pair of empty hands, indicating that he meant no harm.
This person who left and returned was naturally Mu Haitang, who had been chased by the corpse puppets of the Corpse Sect a few days ago and was running away with his head in his arms.
The figure that just walked out was Yun He's Tiandu Gu corpse.
"Hmph, Fellow Taoist is waiting for me here, and you still say you have no ill intentions?" Mu Haitang snorted coldly, but did not relax his vigilance because of this.
"To be honest, I actually don't know whether my friend will come back. I just made a guess. I didn't expect that I would actually wait." Tiandu Gu Corpse spread his hands and said truthfully.
"Um?"
Mu Haitang frowned and looked up and down at Tiandu Gu Corpse.
"I'm guessing that based on fellow Taoist's caution and prudence, he should have known that his whereabouts were exposed, but he still stayed on 'Jiaojian Island' and never left. I think there must be some purpose."
Tiandu Gu Corpse conveyed Yun He's words.
In fact, Yunhe's guess is not unfounded.
After all, the last time he saw this person was in Yinjiaofang City twenty years ago.
At that time, the other party looked calm and entered and exited the city freely. He should have not been hunted down yet.
Twenty years later, the other party appeared here again, but as a wanted person.
coincide? accidental? On purpose?
It's possible that she just happened to escape here by chance.
But it is also possible that it is for some purpose.
In fact, Yunhe was not able to make an accurate judgment.
Just doubt.
About 20 to 30% sure.
Not high, but worth a try.
Sometimes, doubt is enough.
The worst thing you can do is spend more time waiting here.
If he waited, he guessed correctly. If he didn't wait, he guessed wrong, but if he guessed wrong, it would only take a few more days.
The cost of trial and error is not high.
Turns out, he was right.
Following this thought, Tiandu Gu Corpse continued:
"If fellow Taoist really has a purpose on this island and has to leave because of the sudden attack of the Corpse Demon Cult, then fellow Taoist will definitely come back."
"Taking a step back, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, isn't it? Before the Corpse Sect reacts, this island will also be an excellent place to recuperate."
"Of course, these are all my conjectures. They may or may not be true, but they are not important anymore. What is important is that you are indeed back, Fellow Daoist Mu."
After listening, Mu Haitang's expression returned to normal, and only the flickering eyes showed her inner peace at the moment.
Although there were some discrepancies in what Yun He said, he really guessed it.
Mu Haitang did not answer, but pondered for a while and then asked:
"Then my fellow Taoist is waiting for me here for the reward from the Corpse Sect?"
"No, no." Tiandu Gu Corpse waved his hand, "I'm not interested in the bounty offered by the Corpse Demon Cult, and I'm not sure I can win down fellow Taoists, even in their current state."
This is the truth, otherwise he would not just let the Tiandu Gu corpse appear while he always hides in the dark.
"Oh? What do you mean by that, fellow Taoist?" Mu Haitang was a little surprised.
"I want to make a deal with fellow Taoist."
"trade?"
"Fellow Taoist, there should be the bones of a high-level monster on your body, right? I would like to exchange a piece. It doesn't have to be big, it can be as big as two palms." Yun He stopped beating around the bush and stated his purpose.
Hearing this, Mu Haitang took a deep look at Tiandu Gu Corpse.
"I don't know your friend's name yet."
Tiandu Gu Corpse smiled.
"Fellow Taoist will believe it if I say my name? In fact, it does not have any practical meaning. On the contrary, it is a request from me. You might as well consider it carefully. After all." He raised his head and looked at the sky, "Time waits for no one."
Mu Haitang gave him a complicated look, took a deep breath, let out a long breath, showed a helpless smile, and said with a wry smile:
"I don't seem to have a chance to think about it?"
In response to this, Tiandu Gu Corpse squinted his eyes and smiled, noncommittal.
Mu Haitang pursed her lips.
"Then fellow Taoist, I'm afraid you have to do me a favor, if you really want to get the bones."
Seeing Tiandu Gu Corpse's expression darken, the helplessness on Mu Haitang's face became even heavier.
"Fellow Taoist, you will understand when you come with me."
Said.
She walked towards the narrow passage leading to the underground. Tiandu Gu Corpse hesitated a little and followed her.
Before Mu Haitang returned, Yunhe had carefully inspected the island and found no clues. This passage and a secluded underground cave were the top priorities of his inspection.
But when she followed Mu Haitang to the halfway point of the passage, she suddenly stopped, and then, under the surprised gaze of Tiandu Gu Corpse, she cast a spell at the rock wall on one side.
next moment.
The rock wall actually slowly melted away, revealing another passage.
"Array?" Tiandu Gu Corpse was a little surprised.
"It's just a formation that masks the aura, and doesn't have any offensive properties."
Mu Haitang gave a brief explanation and walked into the passage.
Although Yun He's formation level is still not high, he can also see that this is indeed just a formation to cover up Qi. It is a relatively high level, at least a third-level mid-level Qi gathering formation. No wonder his consciousness No matter how much I scan, I can't find it.
The passage behind the formation leads deeper underground.
After walking a certain distance one after another.
The two came to a cave buried deep underground.
Soon Yun He saw it.
Several crystal-clear white bones hang in this underground cave.
The flowing light swirled around it, and there seemed to be some power flowing into the bones in the surrounding underground.
"This is."
Yun He had a guess in his mind.
"Since my fellow Taoist knows my identity, he should also know the origin of these animal bones, right?"
"Silver dragon."
"Yes, this is what the ancestors left behind. In fact, this is not the only thing left by the ancestors. I only refined part of it into the magic weapon 'Silver Dragon Shield', and the rest is all here. I think fellow Taoists also know, The death of the Silver Dragon was more than seven hundred years ago, and no matter how powerful the Silver Dragon was at that time, more than half of the energy in its bones has been lost after so many years."
Mu Haitang continued: "For this reason, I hid these bones here twenty years ago. I'm afraid fellow Taoists don't know that the deep stream of Jiaojian Island was the nest of the silver dragon hundreds of years ago. Bar?"
Twenty years of burial?
At this moment, the bones of these silver dragons don't look like they have lost energy.
Seemingly sensing Yun He's doubts, Mu Haitang smiled and explained: "This is the 'Bone Planting Technique'."
"Bone Seed Technique?"
"The art of cultivating bones with bones. The physical strength of many refined corpses is comparable to gold and iron, and the strength of their bones is comparable to magic weapons. They are cultivated with this technique. Of course, the requirements for this technique are not low, and I have been searching for a long time before I found it here. After waiting for another twenty years, we managed to restore it to around seven floors."
Previously, when Corpse Puppet brought people here, it was when the "Bone Planting Technique" was about to be completed.
'I see. '
That does make sense.
"Using bones to raise bones naturally requires a large amount of corpses. This place was originally the nest of the silver dragon. There are many corpses of the food eaten by the silver dragon underground, and there is also the smell of the silver dragon. It is an excellent place to raise bones. But over time, It leads to."
"Roar--"
A low roar came from the ground.
Then the soul of a beast in the cloud rushed towards Yun He and Mu Haitang.
Yun He didn't panic when he saw this. Under his control, Tiandu Gu Corpse raised his hand, and the beast soul was easily captured.
Then, under Mu Haitang's stunned gaze, Tiandu Gu Corpse opened its mouth slightly, took a breath, and the beast soul was swallowed into its belly.
Corpse Soul Gu is the nemesis of such ghosts and beast souls.
"Sure enough." Mu Haitang narrowed his eyes, "Fellow Taoist is not the real body, but a clone? A corpse-refining clone?"
Tiandu Gu Corpse looked at her and grinned.
"It's the same as asking fellow Taoist my name. Is this important?"
Mu Haitang was startled, then even smiled.
"Indeed. Not important."
"Then please ask fellow Taoist to dispel the beast soul, and I will release the 'Bone Seed Technique'."
The injuries on her body are not serious now, so it is not good to use too much magic power, otherwise it will easily leave sequelae.
And there were extremely many beast souls here, so Yun He's appearance was just right, otherwise she wouldn't know if she would be able to wait until Corpse Puppet and others came back.
"I have one more request." Tiandu Gu Corpse said suddenly.
Before he could say anything, Mu Haitang guessed it.
"The 'Bone Planting Technique'? Yes."
Yunhe likes to communicate with smart people.
Simple and straightforward.
Subsequently.
The division of labor between the two was clear, Tiandu Gu Corpse dealt with the beast soul, and Mu Haitang released the "Bone Seed Technique".
"These are the corpse bones and the 'Bone Seed Technique' needed by fellow Taoist."
Mu Haitang is quite trustworthy.
After solving the trouble, he handed over one of the animal bones that met Yun He's requirements and the jade slip with the "Bone Seed Technique" to Tiandu Gu Corpse.
Tiandu Gu Corpse also handed over a storage bag containing many spiritual stones.
"I've got both money and material. I'll take my leave."
Without stopping for a moment, Tiandu Gu Corpse quickly left the place after getting the things.
Mu Haitang looked at the retreating figure with a thoughtful expression.
This person was quite reasonable, saying that exchange was exchange, and he did not take advantage of her weakness to buy or sell her. The things exchanged were considered sufficient.
Of course, if it comes to hard work, Mu Haitang actually has some trump cards, and is not without the strength to fight.
She shook her head.
"This person is too cautious and should not be an enemy."
As everyone knows, Yun He also thinks so in his heart.
Mu Haitang looked at the heavy sword in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
'Finally, this sword sacrifice can be completed. '
