Ghost Doctor Valley.
After a long time without seeing any movement in the valley, the disciples of the five major sects finally entered the green mist one after another.
The first ones were the Gold Sect, the Earth Sect, then the Water Sect, and the Fire Sect and the Wood Sect followed at the back of the team.
A group of people lined up and marched on this long and narrow mountain path.
At this time, Li San and Zhang San were following Shui Jing's team.
"Brother Li, why is it so cold here at noon?" Zhang San tightened his thin clothes and sneezed.
"It's the problem with the poisonous mist." Li San frowned and said, "This poisonous mist is odorless but chills the bones, but it is extremely strange."
Shui Jing, who was walking in front, said, "According to my master, this poisonous mist is an ancient poisonous mist formation. It was used by some ancient doctors to prevent outsiders from disturbing them when they were refining some precious medicinal herbs, and also for the sake of better health. The ground is planted to preserve the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs.”
"Is this formation called the Heavenly Furnace and Earth Fire Formation?" Li San's eyes lit up and he asked.
"How do you know?" Shui Jing stopped in wonder and looked back at Li San.
Li San was shocked. The passage was already narrow, and the distance between himself and Shui Jing was also very close. He never expected that she would make such an emergency stop, and he had no time to do anything at such a short distance. He could only watch the little face becoming clearer and clearer in the green mist, and he could even see the faint blush on the cheeks of the little face.
Li San finally stopped, even Zhang San behind him leaned heavily on his back. Because a small hand pressed on his chest.
Shui Jing said calmly, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Li. Junior Sister was rude for a moment."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and continued walking forward.
"I saw it in an ancient book. The reason why this formation is rarely known is that it not only requires the user to have a very high level of medicine refining, but also requires thirty-six kinds of rare poisonous weeds to make the formation. Eyes." Li San then said.
"However, once the formation is formed, all the herbs in the formation can be refined into their essence, and the poisonous mist outside will be more intense and complex."
"I see." Shui Jing nodded slightly and said.
Li San couldn't hear any emotion or anger from her words. He just gave a faint hum and looked up at the top of his head. Through the green mist, he could only see the round and white outline of the sun.
"Brother Li, why did you stop just now?" Zhang San asked quietly from behind.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something and was a little distracted." Li San explained while continuing to walk.
Soon, everyone walked out of this long and narrow passage and came to a piece of flat land.
For some reason, there is no green mist here. However, the flat ground was full of potholes and there were traces of violent pulling out of herbs and signs of fighting.
There is a pond not far away. The pond is filled with bright red blood. The body of a green python is floating in it. A pair of green eyes are still glowing. It seems that it has not been dead for a long time.
Behind the pond is a deep cave. There is still half a stone tablet left in front of the cave, but I don’t know where the first half has gone, so I don’t know what is written on it.
"It seems that the sect master did not wait for us, but entered the cave directly." The chieftain came to Xiao Yu and said, "How about it, are you interested in going in with me?"
The chieftain looked at Xiao Yu with a pair of earth-colored eyes. Xiao Yu did not look directly at him, but walked to Shui Jing of the Water Sect again.
"Junior Sister Shui Jing, it seems that the sect leader and all the elders have entered the cave. I wonder what Junior Sister Shui Jing's plans are?" Xiao Yu said with a smile on his face.
An almost imperceptible coldness flashed in Shui Jing's eyes. Her eyes swept over Xiao Yu, then over Tusi, and finally rested on Li San.
"I wonder what Senior Brother Li has planned?" Shui Jing tucks her ears and hair, looks at Li San with a somewhat unclear look in her eyes, and asks softly.
"My strength is low. If I go, I will be a drag on you. I will just wait here for your return."
"How can that be done? Leave your Tianxian Pavilion disciples here. If something goes wrong, how can our small sect be able to take the responsibility?"
The toast slowly came to Li San. In front of his tall and burly body, Li San was as thin as a child standing in front of an adult.
"How about this. Let's clean up here first. There are some herbs and other things here. Everyone can hunt for treasures on their own according to their own abilities."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Our Jin Zhizong agrees."
Shui Jing listened, thought for a moment and said, "Shui Zong has no problem either."
"The Fire Sect also agrees."
"Mu Zhizong agrees."
Before Li San could speak, the chieftain said to him, "Junior brother Li probably thinks so too."
Li San smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother Tu said so, of course I have no objection."
At the same time, inside the cave.
Jin Lingzi and others were rushing through the cave at lightning speed, as if they were chasing something.
In the dark and narrow cave, eight people were running rampant, punching a group of black shadows in front of them from time to time, directly smashing the rock obstacles along the way.
In front of them, this black shadow moved and jumped nimbly to avoid the attacks of the eight people.
"Why is this Black Shadow Marten so difficult to deal with? After chasing it for so long, it can still run so well." Huo Lingzi impatiently punched the Black Shadow Marten in front of him again. He changed direction and nimbly dodged the punch.
The eight of them came out of the long and narrow passage and discovered countless medicinal herbs on the flat land. Just as he was about to put it in his bag, a third-level green python rushed out. The eight of them joined forces and killed it in a few rounds. While they were hurriedly searching for herbs on the ground, they suddenly discovered the black shadow marten at the entrance of the cave.
The black shadow marten is a rare and precious creature. It is gentle in nature, but extremely fast and very flexible. Taking its inner contents can allow warriors below the seventh rank to directly improve their cultivation by one rank. Therefore, as long as this black shadow ferret is discovered by martial arts warriors, it is almost impossible to escape death.
When the eight of them saw the black shadow mink, their eyes immediately shone. The eight people worked together to surround the black shadow ferret. The black shadow ferret also reacted quickly and immediately ran into the cave.
The eight people didn't care about the disciples who were about to come in outside, and entered the cave one after another to chase the black shadow marten.
"Haha, if Master Huo is really in a hurry, you can wait outside the cave. When we catch this black shadow marten, we will naturally give it to you to vent our anger on." Mu Lingzi laughed and moved very fast on his feet. After a few minutes, he ran in front of Huo Lingzi.
Huo Lingzi snorted coldly when he heard this and said nothing.
Just when he was about to catch up with Mu Lingzi with all his inner strength, the sound of a sharp object breaking through the air sounded in front of him.
"ah!"
Before Huo Lingzi could react, he heard Mu Lingzi's scream.
Huo Lingzi slowly approached. In the dim cave, Mu Lingzi was clutching his right arm in pain. In front of him, Jin Lingzi and the other three looked at Mu Lingzi expressionlessly.
When Mu Lingzi saw Huo Lingzi behind him, he immediately took two steps back and leaned against the cave wall, watching him warily.
Behind Huo Lingzi, Jinhua, Shui Xin, and Tu Long arrived belatedly. Because the three of them are slightly weaker, they cannot outrun them.
"How about it, if nothing happens, we will continue to chase the Black Shadow Marten. If anything happens, just stay here and recuperate." Jin Lingzi said with a sullen face.
When Huo Lingzi heard this, he immediately felt a sense of conspiracy. It seemed that Mu Lingzi was obviously seriously injured. If he were alone here to recuperate at this time, if someone were to sneak attack him, Mu Lingzi might not be able to get out of the cave today.
Tu Lingzi threw a pill towards Mu Lingzi, and Mu Lingzi reached out to catch it.
"This elixir can provide some pure internal energy, and you can use it to suppress your injuries." Tu Lingzi said unhurriedly.
Mu Lingzi did a simple check and then took the elixir. His pale face instantly turned rosy. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Master Tu. Let's continue chasing the Black Shadow Marten."
Jin Lingzi quickly turned around and continued running deeper into the cave. Tu Lingzi and Shui Lingzi also quickly followed.
Huo Lingzi and Mu Lingzi looked at each other, and Huo Lingzi finally took the lead, while Mu Lingzi kept a not too far distance from him and followed behind him.
In such a situation, Jinhua and the other three were still left behind by Mu Lingzi, and they lost sight of him after a few moments.
Jin Lingzi and others walked along the cave passage for about a quarter of an hour, and when they came to a corner, they suddenly found that the light in the corner was unusually bright.
Jin Lingzi slowed down, and Tu Lingzi and Shui Lingzi on the side also stopped. Although they had not seen the figure of the black shadow marten for so long, there were no forks in the cave passage and they were not afraid of where it would go.
The three Jin Lingzi rushed out at the same time with tacit understanding, and they were all shocked.
I saw a stone chamber in front of me. The walls of the chamber were covered with unknown blue vines, and the vines were covered with small balls emitting white light, which gave a dazzling light to the originally dark depths of the cave.
In the stone room, there are stone beds, stone benches, and stone tables. There is also a teapot and several teacups on the table. There seems to be half a cup of tea left in one teacup. There is a huge wooden bookshelf in the corner of the stone room, which is piled with bamboo slips. The bamboo slips are covered with dust. It seems that no one has read them for a long time, and the owner of the stone room is too lazy to clean them.
Huo Lingzi and others also arrived in a hurry. Seeing this scene, they were amazed for a long time.
"This is probably the residence of the ghost doctor Zhuo Yuezhu. I didn't expect him to live in a place like this." Huo Lingzi strode into the stone room.
Jin Lingzi followed one step behind, and the others followed suit.
The simple stone chamber can be seen almost at a glance. Only behind the huge stone bed were seven small cypress potted plants arranged in a row, which looked very beautiful. And there seems to be something placed between the potted plant and the wall.
The five sect leaders were led by Jin Lingzi and Mu Lingzi walked at the end, walking behind the potted plant.
To their surprise, there was a paulownia coffin placed behind the potted plant, and the coffin was opened with a small crack.
Jin Lingzi's nose twitched slightly, as if he smelled something. Tu Lingzi glanced at him and motioned him to look at the potted plants on the ground.
In the clay pots where the roots of the seven cypress trees were located, a human head and a pool of flesh and blood could be faintly seen.
Jin Lingzi frowned and looked away, and the other people also felt a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a rustling sound sounded, which was particularly clear and easy to distinguish in this quiet stone room. It was coming from the coffin.
The five people simultaneously signaled to the three people outside, asking them to guard the outside.
Shui Xin and others all understood that the black shadow mink who had been chasing for so long was probably hiding in the coffin. Now this was obviously a situation of catching a turtle in an urn.
Jin Lingzi slowly rolled up his robe sleeves, revealing his skinny hands. The dust along the way made his robe a little dirty.
Using his internal strength, he was about to hit the coffin with a punch. Everyone focused on this fine coffin.
At this time, a sudden change occurred...
