Chapter 339: Valley Illusion
Is it possible that the Nightmare Clan has succeeded before, and the law that now controls the Soul Continent is actually the Nightmare Clan from thousands of years ago, that is, the person who left the prophecy.
Guo Chen felt that his spirit was a little trance for a while, although he was the leader of this generation of Nightmare Clan, but he didn't know much about the Nightmare Clan, or no one fully understood.
Ling Xu had also thought about hiding him before, so there was no guarantee that the person who told Ling Xu these things did not hide it, in this case, it was really very likely that that person was still alive as Jiang Ling said.
Compared with the prophecy that spans a thousand years, it is indeed more likely to live for a thousand years, or he could not survive decades ago, and made these predictions before he died, and the time span of several decades is much smaller.
To live for nearly a thousand years, in fact, it is not very difficult, as long as you have enough talent, you can do it, but at present, no one on the continent can do it, and neither can the Lingyun Sect Master, his spiritual power is not enough.
However, the talent of the people of the Nightmare Clan far exceeds that of the Lingyun Sect Master, as long as they guarantee that they will not die, it is entirely possible to live for nearly a thousand years, and it is said that when a person's spiritual power is raised to the eighth level of the Heavenly Rank, he will be able to live forever.
At present, the spiritual power of the Lingyun Sect Master is the seventh level of the Heavenly Rank, and it is only one step away from the Eighth Level of the Heavenly Rank, but this step, he should not be able to cross it, and as he grows older, the difficulty of cultivation will also increase.
Jiang Ling saw that Guo Chen was stunned, so he began to think back to what he had just said, it seemed that these words made him think of something, otherwise he would not be like this, but he didn't know which sentence it was.
Because the time he joined was too short, and he didn't care much about those prophecies and the like, he couldn't understand what Guo Chen was thinking now, so he went to study those medicines by himself.
Since the formulas are all different, there must be some differences, but I'm afraid that these ten bottles are all different formulas, thinking of this, Jiangling suddenly realized something, there is one bottle less!
They had just found eleven formulas, but counting the two people who had drunk the Red Saint Lu cultivator and Xu Yang before, there were a total of twelve bottles, but according to what Wang She said, three bottles were the same, and there was really one bottle less.
Three bottles are the same, then even if the rest are all with different formulas, there is one formula left, whether there is one less bottle or one more formula, anyway, this must be a problem.
He first glanced back at Guo Chen, who was contemplating on the spot, and then began to look at it himself, although he had not systematically studied alchemy, he still knew a little bit about it, but it was just these, and it might not work.
After carefully looking at the eleven formulas and making sure that each one was different, he began to investigate to see if there was one less bottle of medicine or one more formula, which was still very important.
If it is really a bottle of medicine missing, the bottle that is missing is likely to be the last bottle of real medicine, but it is not necessarily, anyway, we must quickly figure this thing out.
But before that, we still need to figure out who made the missing bottle or the extra formula, is it Xu Yang, or the person controlled by Wang She before, or someone else?
Just what they know now, in addition to them, there are three people who have entered this valley, one can be said to be Wang She, the other is Xu Yang, and the other is the Nightmare clan who set up the illusion.
However, the people of the Nightmare Clan were planted before the medicine appeared, and there is no guarantee that the Nightmare Clan people did not come back after that, so it is still possible, but again, there is no guarantee that no one else came.
"Is there a problem?" Just as he was deep in thought, Guan Ying came to his side, glanced at the medicine bottle and formula he had placed on the ground, and asked casually without figuring out what was going on.
Jiang Ling glanced back at her, and then said: "There is one bottle missing, eleven formulas, only ten medicines, I don't see the possibility of the formula being forged, from the handwriting to the ingredients, they are very similar." ”
After checking, he felt that these formulas should all be from the same person, and if no one put in one more, it would only be one bottle of medicine missing, which should not be a big problem.
After all, he is the crown prince of the royal family, and he has to receive too much news every day, and there may be people who take advantage of the chaos to pass on fake news.
Guan Ying also realized this problem after he said this, but she didn't think that someone would take the medicine away, what Xu Yang said before should be the truth, which means that it was not Xu Yang or Wang She who took it.
And if it was someone from the Nightmare Clan, then the greatest possibility was that he took the real bottle of medicine and put it in a place, where they would notice it, and then take the real bottle of medicine.
Jiang Ling had already thought of this, he even knew where it might be, but he didn't look at it, he originally planned to go and see it, and then Guan Ying came to his side, so he didn't look at it.
After explaining, he decided to take a look, stood up and walked to the back of the house, Guan Ying also hurriedly followed, Zhao Xue noticed their movements and followed, but Xu Yang didn't follow.
Although he saw their movements, Zhao Xue and Guan Ying had already followed, so there was no need for him to follow, so it was better to stay here and see if Guo Chen could think of anything.
The three of them came all the way to the place where the body was buried behind the previous house, if you want to say which place is the most symbolic, it must be here, there is nothing special in other places, just this is the most special.
Then Zhao Xue watched Guan Ying and Jiang Ling start digging the soil, the posture was like digging through the mainland, and in the end they found nothing, they dug for several meters and didn't find anything, so they could only return to the ground.
"There must be some clues in this matter that we don't know, let's wait for him to think about it, let's take a look after we find the entrance, maybe there will be any clues there, go back first." ”
Jiang Ling was directly talking to them in the tone of a leader, after all, he was the crown prince of the royal family, and he usually spoke in this tone, and when he found out about the matter, he subconsciously did it.
However, Zhao Xue and Guan Ying didn't care too much, and went back with him to see what Guo Chen was doing, and then they found that Guo Chen was gone, so he should have thought of something and investigated it himself.
The range of this valley is still very large, and the light is relatively dim, and their visual range is very limited, so it is normal not to see where Guo Chen is now.
At this time, Guo Chen was at the edge of the valley, through his Nightmare Pupil, to see where the exit was, he had already thought about it just now, it was absolutely impossible for that Nightmare Clan to live until now.
There are two reasons, one is that the Nightmare Pupil itself has a very large loss of the body, and the other is that Guo Chen learned from Xuanwu's mouth that he also has an ability that is very similar to the evil wind change.
The combination of these two reasons caused that person's body to be weak and pitiful, no matter how strong his spiritual power was, it was impossible to guarantee that he would not die for a thousand years, Guo Chen was in this situation now, there were only three years left.
And according to their previous speculation, he didn't get his emotions back, so his restrictions are the same as the current Guo Chen, and it is impossible to live for a thousand years at all, and Xuanwu also agrees with this point of view.
Not only that, but he also told Guo Chen that the man had also predicted his death, although Xuanwu didn't know the result, but after that, he said that he could only move for another year and let Xuanwu return to the land of trials.
And from that time, to Guo Chen's crossing to this continent, it was exactly one thousand and one years, assuming that the thousand years after his death were regarded as Guo Chen's birth, it was perfectly in line with the law of one thousand years.
But Jiang Ling's words still made him think about some more things, but now is not the time to think about that, it is more important to deal with the problem in front of him first, and he is now looking for an outlet.
Xu Yang followed behind him, and now his body was still under the control of Wang She's consciousness, and now he was also recalling, where was that person when he came in, and where was the most likely entrance, but it didn't work.
After all, so many years have passed, no matter how strong Wang She's consciousness is, he can't be as memorable as Guo Chen and the others, and in the end he still couldn't think of the result, so he could only follow along.
About five or six minutes later, Guo Chen stopped in one place, Xu Yang's first reaction was that he had found something, but before he could speak, the control of his body returned to Xu Yang's consciousness.
With the passage of time, Xu Yang's consciousness is now gradually assimilating Wang She's consciousness, and as Wang She's consciousness is getting weaker and weaker, the time he can control his body is getting shorter and shorter, and now the time has come.
Guo Chen did find an illusion, but to be honest, this illusion was much weaker than the ones they had seen before, but it was still relatively powerful, he didn't hesitate and walked in directly.
Xu Yang didn't follow up, because he couldn't go in, he tried it, and then found that it really hurt to hit his head against the wall!
Then he waited for the other three people, came up and asked Guo Chen directly where he went, he told the truth, and then saw that Zhao Xue and Jiang Ling also opened the Nightmare Pupil and rushed in, but Guan Ying didn't follow.
When Guan Ying saw that he didn't go in, he knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to enter, it seemed that this was indeed related to the Nightmare Clan, but it shouldn't be a person from before, because it was too weak.
This illusion is indeed too weak, the one that was in the underground ruins before, only Guo Chen's purple-black nightmare pupil can see through and walk over, and the other nightmare pupils have no effect.
Guo Chen passed through the illusion, and found that he had come to an underground water channel, and the direction of the water flow was in the direction of the valley, it seemed that this should be the place where Wang She came in.
Without waiting to take a closer look at the surrounding situation, his eyes were attracted by something at his feet, and he crouched down to check, and found that it was a medicine bottle, and the style was no different from the other ten, at least he couldn't see it.
However, this medicine bottle does not have a cap, and the medicine in it is gone, as for whether it was eaten or poured, it is unknown, unless something else can be found here, but it is really unlikely.
The environment here is actually clear at a glance, like a sewer, except for the water flowing down from the slope, there are only extremely narrow passages on both sides, and Guo Chen can see almost at a glance.
If that's all there is to it, then someone should have been injured, gambled and took a bottle of medicine, and ate it after coming here, as for whether he got better after taking the real medicine, or died after eating the poison, I still don't know.
Then why didn't he take medicine outside, so he had to come here? Could it be that something happened outside at that time that made him have to come here, or was the person refining medicine outside at that time?
