The night breeze was blowing gently, and six men in white robes were standing on an unnamed mass grave in Changhu County.
One of them was Bai Yu, who had just arrived from Beijiang County overnight. The remaining five people all seemed to be older than Bai Yu, and one of them already had white hair and beard.
"Is this the kind of bell you're talking about?"
The eldest man in the middle took a half-foot-long weird copper bell handed over by Bai Yu. He turned it over in his hand and looked at it carefully, with an expression of interest on his face.
Bai Yu stood on the far left, bowed slightly, and quickly replied: "Yes, ancestor, Zhang Yan said that this kind of bell can detect and detain the weakest spirit race."
The bell has a handle that can be held with one hand, and the top is the main body of the bell. You can see many complex lines on it, which look like they were cast or carved. It feels heavy and weighty in your hand. But the bell is also strange. A slight shake will not shake it. Unless you put your finger inside the bell and fiddle with it, it will make two clicks that are painless and unpleasant to hear.
So, can this thing really work?
Of course, no matter how doubtful you are, you cannot ignore it. Because this is what Zhang Yan took out. Although the purpose sounds very unreliable, just like Zhang Yan, he is not a person who can use common sense to reason.
That's why Bai Yu rushed to this mass grave. Because this is the closest mass grave to the "ancestor" he calls his retreat. It is also the most suitable place to test whether the bell is useful.
Look again, the six people present, including Bai Yu, have a swallowing beast squatting on their shoulders. It's just that the fur colors of these swallowing beasts are different. The one on Bai Yu's shoulder is the lightest, while the one squatting on the shoulder of the "ancestor" with white beard and hair is almost as black as ink.
"Okay, let's get started. There should be some pseudo-spiritual people here, let's go look for them."
The ancestor spoke, and the other five people quickly bowed in response, and then the swallowing beasts on their shoulders flew up and dispersed, and they went to look for each other. The six people who stayed there continued to talk.
"Xiaoyu, have you ever seen the actual bone-strengthening pill that is rumored outside?"
"No. The Bone Strengthening Pill has only been reported by Shi Xuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Army, and the news is true. No one has spread the news elsewhere. I have never seen the real thing. Now that Zhang Yan suddenly revealed a lot of things. It is a powerful killing method. It is estimated that all the forces who want to use force against him are still weighing and waiting.
However, Langyuan City Guards Zhou Cang had a close relationship with Zhang Yan, and Zhou Cang gave Zhang Yan a lot of help when Zhang Yan was in trouble, which can be regarded as a favor to Zhang Yan. I guess that Zhou Cang stood firmly on Zhang Yan's side when Zhang Yan was not showing off his landscape. Perhaps it was also related to the Bone Strengthening Pill. It's just that Zhou Cang's cultivation has not yet reached the bottleneck, and the effect of the Bone Strengthening Pill will not be immediate for him, and it may still be hidden in his hand. "
"The bone-strengthening pill is also very important. Our clan has always struggled to survive, but in the final analysis, we are still weak. We can only serve as thugs for the two clans. The human clan is better off, but the people on the demon clan are having an even harder time. But I Our clan has outstanding talents. If we have the help of the Bone Strengthening Pill and the blessing of human martial arts, the strong men of the demon clan will no longer be able to take advantage of us. The situation of the clan has improved, and it is not impossible to even find a place that belongs to our clan!
However, Zhang Yan’s methods will continue to wait and see. I've read this person's resume several times, and it seems like it's just luck, but in fact he's running a steady business step by step. Now he basically has no one in Nanyuan Kingdom who would wantonly conflict with him. So we also need to be more cautious.
If, as he said, his methods are difficult to teach, then one can naturally get along with him and even continue to be on good terms with him. If what he told is a lie. Then we must strike with thunder to cut off the disaster!
Understand? "
"Bai Yu understands! He will definitely keep an eye on Zhang Yan. But two days before I left Langyuan City, Zhang Yan recruited another student in the Miscellaneous Academy, but he chose one from hundreds of children. It seems like It’s really hard to find the seeds to teach.”
"Well, keep paying attention and don't be careless."
While he was talking, the five swallowing beasts that had just flown out to search came back together. Three of them had no harvest, and two had a wild ghost in their mouths.
The wild ghost struggled but could not escape from the teeth of the swallowing beast. The ferocious look with bared teeth and claws is actually a bit miserable.
"Sniff sniff..."
He sniffed his nose, then shared the swallowing beast's gaze and saw the two wild ghosts.
At the same time, when two swallowing beasts with wild ghosts in their mouths approached, the bell held by the "ancestor" began to shake without any warning. Although it was not urgent, the sound was clear and crisp, not at all. Like before, it couldn't shake or the sound was unpleasant.
"Don't get close yet." The ancestor held the bell, with curiosity in his eyes, and stopped the two swallowing beasts from approaching, stopping at a distance of more than twenty feet.
Then the ancestor took the bell and approached the two wild ghosts step by step. And the sound of the bell in his hand will get closer and faster. On the contrary, if you retreat thirty feet away, the bell will return to its previous lifeless appearance and no longer respond.
"It's really a warning. But the distance should be about twenty-three feet."
Keep going, but deliberately stagger in the right direction. Unexpectedly, the bell will make other sounds, which seems to remind you that you are going in the wrong direction.
"So spiritual?!" Everyone, including the ancestor, was shocked. It's obviously a dead thing, but it behaves like it's intelligent. Gives you goosebumps.
When they were only three feet away from the two wild ghosts, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared from the bell, and the sound of the bell seemed to have a strange rhythm, which was not felt by others, but the two were holding it in the swallowing beast's mouth. However, the standing wild ghost could feel the huge suction force suddenly appearing. Pull them and slowly tear them out from the swallowing beast's mouth.
"Let one go."
When the ancestor spoke, one of the swallowing beasts immediately opened its mouth. The next moment, the wild ghost that escaped from the beast's mouth seemed to be sucked by invisible force and kept squeezing. After a short distance of a few feet, it became It was only the size of a bean, and finally disappeared into the bell.
"Put it away again."
The second wild ghost was released again. This time everyone raised their attention and perception to the highest level, and even borrowed the special perception of the swallowing beast, but they still could not detect where the two wild ghosts were received by the bell. . I don’t even understand how this bell can do such magical things.
Everything in front of them has subverted the cognition of everyone present. This is completely different from the Devouring Beast feeding on the Eldar. Bells are dead things!
But one thing is for sure. That is, the two wild ghosts trapped in the bell have not disappeared. Because they can sense very weak fluctuations of their souls from the bells.
