Seeing that Tian Buyi also had a rare expression of anxiety on his face, Song Xing stepped forward and said, "Master, my fourth junior brother and I went to the back mountain jungle to look for her. Junior sister's cultivation is not weak. Ordinary poisonous insects and beasts can't stop her. Don't worry too much."
After that, he and He Dazhi flew towards the back mountain with their swords. Flying into the air, the spiritual energy in Song Xing's body circulated, automatically forming an invisible air shield outside his body to resist the strong wind that was blowing in his face.
Zhang Xiaofan has had a very regular schedule for the past three years. Now that something like this happened, Song Xing guessed that he probably encountered the three-eyed monkey. When Hotan Linger chased the monkey, he fell into the virgin forest.
With this idea in mind, he first went to the black bamboo forest where Zhang Xiaofan usually did his homework, searched, and found several traces of fighting.
Following the traces forward, you can see looming and intermittent scratches through the black bamboo forest. Song Xing judged that they should be the traces left by Tian Linger's imperial envoy Amber Zhu Ling.
Just like that, he flew an extremely long distance and passed through the black bamboo forest. As expected, the traces disappeared deep into the primeval forest.
After flying deep into the jungle for another one stick of incense, it turned out that the monkey was indeed a different species from heaven and earth. Even Tian Linger's ambassador Amber Zhu Ling couldn't catch up with him.
Fortunately, Song Xing was very perceptive and followed the clues and never lost track of him.
After flying for a while, my eyes suddenly lit up. There was an open space deep in the jungle. The ground was covered with gravel. There was a small green pool in the middle. The water was rippling and flowing to the west.
The small pool is small in size and has no source. It is probably formed by the gushing of underground spring water. The water in the pool is green, and you can't tell the depth from here. There is a gap on the west side of the pool, and the water flows out from there, forming a small stream that winds away.
In the center of the pool, there is a pile of rocks of various sizes and shapes, with a small part exposed on the water.
Next to the gravel, Zhang Xiaofan was lying on the open ground with a pale face, unconscious, and beside him was a dark-looking, inconspicuous iron rod.
Not far away, under a pine tree, Tian Linger was lying unconscious. It seemed that when he passed by in the air, he lost control of his spiritual power and fell from a high place.
Seeing the iron rod, Song Xing knew that Zhang Xiaofan was destined to encounter the weapon that changed the trajectory of his life.
Blood-devouring beads and soul-destroying rods.
The origin of the blood-devouring bead is unknown, but it has strange properties. It likes to feed on the essence and blood of living creatures. If any living creature comes close to it, the blood will be absorbed by the blood-devouring bead and die in a matter of seconds, leaving only a skin. It is really terrifying. Extremely evil thing.
More than a thousand years ago, this bead was acquired by a black-hearted old man from the Demon Sect. Because of its ability to absorb essence and blood, he refined it into a magic weapon. For a time, he was invincible and killed countless righteous people. His reputation was so great that he later became a member of the Demon Sect. One of the four treasures.
After the death of the black-hearted old man, the bead disappeared and has been missing ever since.
By chance, the divine monk Puzhi of Tianyin Temple accidentally discovered this ominous bead in the western swamp thirty years ago. At that time, there were many bones and no living creatures within a radius of ten miles.
The heart of Universal Wisdom and Compassion was greatly moved, so he put it away with the Buddhist heart method. After that, he performed the Buddhist secret method of subduing demons on it every night to deter evil forces. He continued for thirty years without stopping, and used the Buddhist most precious jade beads. Hanging them in parallel and in series, using their pure energy to resist the blood-eating evil thoughts, they finally suppressed this evil spirit, tightly bound it in the beads, and could not see the light of day under the layers of Buddha power.
During the battle in Caomiao Village, Pu Zhi was severely injured by the mysterious man in black, and almost ran out of gas. Although the man in black was also injured and escaped, Pu Zhi knew that he had not injured his roots, and he also expected that he was determined to obtain the Blood-devouring Pearl. .
With a thought, he risked his life and handed the blood-devouring bead to Zhang Xiaofan, and told him not to show it in front of others. When he had time, he threw it off the cliff of the deep valley. Although he might hurt some innocent creatures, it would be worse than if it fell into the hands of the monster. It's much better.
But Pu Zhi never expected that Zhang Xiaofan, thinking of his kindness, would actually keep this dangerous thing as a souvenir.
The blood-devouring bead lost its universal wisdom and was suppressed by Buddhist mental methods, and without the pure energy of the emerald rosary to resist it, the evil spirit's energy began to gradually erode the restriction.
But Tianyin Temple's method of subduing demons is not easy. Although the heavy restrictions have lost their master, they have always been loyal to their duties and frightened this evil spirit for three whole years.
But as time went by, he finally couldn't resist it, and gradually became unable to do what he wanted, so today, the blood-eating ferocious bead broke out of the ban.
It was also Zhang Xiaofan who was lucky enough to die. He was chasing the three-eyed monkey today and accidentally fell into the place sealed by the soul-destroying rod. At the moment of life and death, it triggered a fight between the soul-destroying rod and the blood-devouring bead, but indirectly Saved his life.
There is a record in the ancient book "Ten Chapters of Strange Treasures": There is strange iron in the sky, which falls in the Nine Netherworlds. The ghosts and ghosts in the underworld burn the spirit of the Yin spirit to refine it. Soul power.
Song Xing looked at the blood-devouring bead and the soul-stirring rod that had been combined next to Zhang Xiaofan. The magical object was hidden. Just by looking at the appearance, no one would have thought that this ordinary-looking black iron rod could turn out to be a very dangerous thing. The most evil magic weapon.
At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his mind. The founder of Qingyun Sect, Qingye, revitalized Qingyun Sect 1,300 years ago and died at the age of 750, that is, 550 years ago. Could it be that Qingye didn’t have it before that? Did you find such a rare treasure in the mountains behind Dazhu Peak?
Secondly, why is there so much ghost energy gathering in the mountains behind Dazhu Peak?
The founder of Qingyunzi said that Qingyun Mountain has beautiful bells and spirits that gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the innate evil soul-catching sword and the acquired evil killing immortal sword appeared one after another. With two evil creatures sitting in one sect, could Qingyun Mountain become an evil place instead?
Or is it true that a god descended to capture the soul and use the spiritual energy of the Qingyun peaks to suppress the evil spirit of the soul?
The ability to capture souls is actually a type of Taoism, and is mentioned in both Taoist classics and unofficial history notes.
"Taiping Guangji" once recorded: Ye Fashan repaired the tomb of his ancestor and asked Li Yong to write an inscription. After completing the inscription, he asked for a letter, but he was not allowed. Fashan took a paper and pen at night and took pictures of Yong's soul to write the book. Before the book was finished, he woke up when the bell rang, and " A few dots are left under the word "ding", which seems to be "dingding dots". It is known as the "dingding stele" or "soul-taking stele" in the world.
The art of soul-stirring once flourished during the Shang and Zhou dynasties when shamanism transformed Taoism. Later, the art was considered too sinister and was despised by Taoists, so that those who were proficient in this art were called monsters and were relegated to the sidelines, completely declining.
The Qingyun sect has two extremely ferocious magical weapons. Is it a coincidence or an accident?
Song Xing boldly guessed that before the Qingyun Sect was born, there might have been a battle between the Soul-Destroying Rod and the Zhuxian Sword in ancient times, and the owner of the Soul-Destroying Rod should have lost.
As for why the war started, the only thing that could cause the two magic weapons to fight was the heavenly book in Huanyue Cave.
The final result of the battle was obviously that the Zhuxian Sword won and obtained the Heavenly Book, while the Soul-Destroying Rod lost and was sealed in the Qingyun Mountains for thousands of years.
Song Xing had a feeling, and there were various signs that the Zhuxian Sword and the Five Volume Heavenly Book might not be products of this world.
But all this will have to be verified after he succeeds in practice.
He did not take away the soul-catching rod beside Zhang Xiaofan. It was Zhang Xiaofan's chance. The blood-devouring bead swallowed Zhang Xiaofan's essence and blood, and he had already recognized it as its owner. Song Xing had no intention of taking it away.
Zhang Xiaofan has his own way to go, and he will not interfere.
After using spiritual energy to wake up Tian Linger and Zhang Xiaofan, both of them were a little confused and didn't understand why they suddenly fell into coma.
Zhang Xiaofan vaguely recalled the experience of fighting with the blood-devouring beads and the soul-destroying rod to suck his own blood before he fell into coma, but at the moment, seeing that there were no wounds on his body, he felt a little suspicious for a moment.
At this time, Tian Linger looked around and said to Song Xing: "Elder brother, there seems to be something strange here. Let's leave here as soon as possible. I'll ask my parents to come over tomorrow and have a look."
Song Xing nodded: "Master and Master are very anxious. Just hope that you two are fine."
After saying that, he stood up with his sword, took Zhang Xiaofan with him, Tian Linger himself wielded the amber scarlet silk, and was about to leave here.
Suddenly he heard a "squeak" sound next to Zhang Xiaofan. He turned around and saw that the gray-haired monkey was standing next to him at some point, grinning at them, dragging the black two-foot stick in his hand. It's a long, short stick of unknown material.
