"Jade Palace?"
Li Xiaoliu's unattractive appearance flashed through Xiang Shen's mind, and he raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask?"
Pei Shi scratched his head and said, "Uncle Jade had a great favor in the hearts of his disciples. Even though he passed away more than sixty years ago, there is still an endless stream of disciples going to the mausoleum to pay homage.
Uncle Master, your inheritance of the Jade Palace will definitely arouse resentment among the disciples. Apart from this, I can't think of any other reason why the sect master would not hold a ceremony to seal the palace for you. "
"You think a lot."
Xiang Shen shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, the sect master will always keep your uncle Yu's palace."
"Uncle, what is the name of your new palace?"
Pei Shi watched helplessly and said humbly, "We can't just call you uncle all the time, right?"
"What's your name..."
Xiang Shen murmured to himself, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Let's just use the word "Li".
Si Wuyue didn't come to the appointment for a long time, and she was always worried.
If what Qin Tianque said was true, and if there was really a way to leave this world in the inheritance tower, sooner or later she would leave here and go to the deserted cultivation star to confirm Si Wuyue's safety.
In other words, the fate between her and the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect will not last long.
As for Wu Mingfeng and others who were beyond the sect, in her mind, it was a different matter.
Naturally, Pei Shi didn't understand Xiang Shen's thoughts and didn't think much about it. He quickly paid his respects again: "Uncle Li."
Xiang Shu hummed and dropped the subject.
Although there are many human-faced demon snakes in the valley, they are obviously a piece of cake in front of four out-of-body sword cultivators who are good at killing them.
Just a moment later, Qiu Xiaoxiao and the others had slaughtered the snake tide in the valley and returned.
"Uncle Li, the crystals of all the demonic snakes are here."
Qiu Xiaoxiao held up a bag of colorful crystals with both hands and said in a respectful tone: "There are many locust tree demons in the valley. The disciples also eliminated them all, leaving only the one pointed by your flying sword." ap.
Xiang Shu put the bag away and said quietly: "Tell me in detail what happened to you after you came here."
"Uncle Li, let me talk first."
Perhaps because of Xiang Shen's kind attitude, everyone's tense minds had eased, and Wu Feng, who had been offended by his words just now, came forward to speak.
"Three months ago, I followed my senior brother to take over this task..."
What Wu Feng said was roughly similar to what Xiang Shen had experienced before. They all fell into an illusion without knowing it, and then were tricked and trapped in amber and jade.
Fortunately, these true disciples traveled by spirit boat, and their speed was very limited. Although they took on this task and went down the mountain three months ago, it took more than a month just to get here.
Otherwise, they might not be able to wait until Xiang Shen rescues them.
After listening to Wu Feng's narration, Xiang Shu did not rush to summarize, and asked the other four people to narrate it again, and the results were similar.
"Okay, that's it for now."
Xiang Shen rubbed his brows and pointed at Lin Qi and Lin Qi who were still lying on the ground. "I still have important matters to deal with. You go back to the clan first and take these two people out by the way. Don't reveal my identity to them." "
She raised her eyes and scanned the five people in the field, and suddenly her eyes focused on the face of the young man in blue robe who stood silently at the outside.
Feeling the gaze, Yu Lei trembled slightly, then gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said:
"Uncle Li, I have made a discovery, but I can't be sure of its authenticity."
Xiang Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk and listen first."
Yu Lei immediately threw a snake corpse hidden behind him in front of everyone.
On the other hand, the female disciple Zhuo Xiu stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly said strangely: "Junior Brother Yu, isn't this a human-faced snake demon who has reached the stage of enlightenment?"
"Senior sister, don't you think the human face on this snake demon looks familiar?"
Yu Lei's face turned slightly pale, "Do you still remember the appearance of the guide who was killed by me before we fell into the illusionary dry well?"
Zhuo Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly and she said in shock: "You mean..."
Yu Lei pursed his lips and turned to look at
Xiang Shen, whose expression did not change at all, said in a deep voice:
"Uncle Li, this human-faced snake demon was killed by me just now.
But the human face it grew was exactly the same as the guide I killed at the well more than a month ago! "
As soon as these words came out, the colors of Pei Shi and the other five people suddenly changed, and a chill filled their hearts.
Xiang Shu looked at the snake god on the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The same fantasy of a mortal town, with recurring faces...
This can't be a coincidence.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed them and returned to calm.
"I understand. I will investigate the matter here. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Just go back."
Upon hearing this, the five people from Pei and Shi looked at each other, raised their hands and saluted, and said in unison.
"Disciple takes leave."
After waving to Shu, the five of them immediately stopped staying any longer, took Lin Qi and Yan Feipeng with them, and left in the wind.
The valley fell silent.
Xiang Shu stood up with the bag in hand, came to the altar, stretched out his hand, and the hidden spirit shuttle that was still shuttled in the void suddenly broke through the space and flew back to his hand.
She looked at the complex patterns on the altar floor, and a glint flashed in her eyes.
The giant snake demon has the ability to hide in the void. She was attacked by a surprise attack at the side of the sacrificial pit and could not see where it came from.
But when she activated the illusion to escape, the restrictive barrier she set up was not destroyed.
The ripples in the void triggered by the Hidden Spirit Shuttle did not encounter any entity hiding in the interlayer of space.
Apart from the formation-like patterns on the altar, she couldn't think of any other place where such a large snake demon could disappear out of thin air.
"The pattern of this formation is very different from what we usually see, but it is somewhat similar to the restriction..."
Xiang Shen observed for a moment and gradually got some clues based on what he had learned before.
But there is still a difference between formation and restriction. In order to avoid destroying the teleportation formation, she should not try it rashly.
After thinking for a while, she returned to the locust tree on the outskirts of the valley.
The locust tree demon had long been frightened by the scene of the massacre by Wu Feng and the four men. When he saw Xiang Shen approaching, he immediately begged for mercy:
"Exalted Immortal, have mercy on me. The little demon was obsessed with it for a moment and will never dare to do it again!"
Xiang Shen recalled Feijian and said indifferently, "I spared your life not to listen to your nonsense."
The locust tree demon's branches trembled upon hearing this, "Little demon understands!"
Next, the locust tree demon did not dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
"The little demon has been in the valley since he became conscious. This place is remote, there is not much spiritual energy, and few living creatures come here.
But since an earthquake a hundred years ago, everything has changed. "
Recalling that day, Shugen's face showed a bit of fear.
"The altar is the one that appeared after the earthquake.
The little demon thought it was some kind of chance, so he went over to investigate, but saw a flash of light on the altar, and the giant snake demon appeared out of thin air.
The little demon was no match for the snake demon and could only surrender. The snake demon rewarded the little demon with a spiritual crystal.
After the little demon took it, his talent for fantasy was activated. The snake demon seemed to have expected it, and the little demon had no choice but to maintain the illusion, hunt the monks passing by here, and provide them with blood food.
Those below the elixir-formation stage are directly fed to the heirs of the snake demon in the valley.
If it reaches the elixir-formation stage or above, it will be sealed with amber and jade for the snake demon to enjoy personally.
In the past hundred years, we have never failed until we met you. "
At this point, the locust tree demon looked uneasy, "That's all the little demon knows."
The words of the locust tree demon revealed a lot of information.
Xiang Shen thought for a moment and asked slowly: "Do you still have the spiritual crystal that the snake demon gave you?"
The locust tree demon hurriedly shook its branches and shook its head, "No more. The snake demon seemed to cherish the spirit crystals. The little demon only had one that was as big as a fingernail.
The little demon still remembers that the spiritual crystal was colorful, crystal clear, and very beautiful. "
Xiang Shen
Hearing this, he reached out and took out a light red crystal from the bag and looked at it carefully.
These crystals were the same as the crystals given to her by the Master of Xuan Palace, and they all had an inexplicable and weird smell.
Could the colorful crystals in the Sophora Tree Demon's mouth be the source of the smell?
Thinking of this, her eyes flashed and she asked: "How often does the snake demon come here to eat every day?"
"Forty-nine days!"
The locust tree demon quickly replied: "Every time the snake demon finishes eating, he disappears from the altar and never stays."
So there is a cycle?
Xiang Shu's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he immediately stood up and rushed into the valley.
The locust tree demon hurriedly moved the tree roots to catch up, lamenting at the same time:
"Exalted Immortal, the little demon was targeted by the snake demon when he first became wise, and he had no choice but to commit many crimes.
The Immortal understands the righteousness well, please spare my life for the sake of seeing that this is not my true intention! "
Xiang Shu stopped in front of the altar and turned to look at the pursuing Sophora tree demon with a half-smile.
"In a hundred years, you have been cultivating from the enlightenment stage to the late stage of transformation. You are very talented. It would be a pity if I really killed you."
When the locust tree demon heard this, its branches suddenly trembled violently, "The Immortal Ming Jian, the little demon cultivates so quickly because the five-colored crystal stone definitely did not swallow the monks!"
Seeing that the Sophora Tree Demon's reaction was so unbearable, Xiang Yu stopped scaring it and said calmly: "I can let go of what you did in the past, but there is a prerequisite."
She pointed to the altar, "In the past hundred years, you must have seen the scene of the snake demon teleporting away from here.
The changes in the patterns on the altar before and after this transmission were accurately described! "
The locust tree demon's eyes shone brightly, "Little demon, you obey!"
In the next few days, under Xiang Shu's surveillance, the Sophora Tree Demon racked his brains to carve lines on the blank jade slips.
Xiang Shen stood aside, watching the locust tree demon holding the jade slip and stoking it, thoughts flowing in his eyes.
This locust tree demon is the only demon clan in this valley that can speak human words.
The others, whether they were thousands of human-faced snake monsters or that giant snake, were just treacherous monsters acting in a moral way.
The Sophora Tree Demon was the crystal that was refined during the enlightenment period. After that, it was unable to transform normally and only retained the ability to speak human words.
So, the giant snake in the Condensation Stage transmitted from this altar has also been affected by the colored crystals since its birth?
Will there be another snake cave opposite this teleportation array?
Then what kind of behavior should be followed by the existence of breeding giant snakes? In other words, the giant snake is the source...
While thinking, time passed slowly.
Nine days later, the locust tree demon finally straightened its main branch, and there was a hint of joy in his words.
"Shangxian, the little demon has carved it."
