378. Preliminary investigation

Half an hour later, Lingyu walked out of the store.

This old monk is probably old and verbose, and he often digresses from his own home to Yinshan City.

Although it took a lot of time, Lingyu still got useful news.

The vision began a hundred years ago. Before the qi of the Ming Yuan was leaked, monks often came to hunt Yin Soul Monsters and sell them as black chalcedony, and some people even specialized in this business.

It's a pity that Xuan Iceland is too close to the Ming Abyss, and the Qi of the Ming Abyss leaks out, and it is the first one to be affected, and soon, Xuan Iceland is completely covered by the Qi of the Ming Abyss, and the monks with lower cultivation levels cannot go to the island, and the business of hunting the Yin Soul Monster can no longer be done.

Later, the demon cultivator retreated to Dongming, and the various factions of Lingcang tried to repair Mingyuan, and the Ghost Crying Tomb moved to disperse the aura of Mingyuan in Xuanlin. It's a pity that this is originally the crack of the Ming Yuan, and it is impossible to complete it, and it is precisely because of the leakage of the Qi of the Ming Yuan that there will be such a thing as a Yin Soul Monster.

Although the situation was a little better after that, the Tsukiji monk had no way to go to the island, and if he wanted to hunt the Yin Monster, he could only wander around the sea and find a lone one. Although the hunt is more difficult than before, the current price of black chalcedony is extremely high, and you can get a piece, which is not less than hunting a bunch before. Therefore, there will still be monks who are desperately short of money and want to try their luck.

The movement in Xuan Iceland was transmitted by these monks. A few months ago, a group of monks accidentally strayed while hunting a lone ghost, only to find that the appearance of Xuan Iceland was very different from before. The Xuan Ice on the island has melted a lot, and the aura of the abyss is thick, and the ghosts and monsters are dense.

The news was first reported to the nearby Devil's Crying Mausoleum. They organized a manpower into Iceland. No news came out since.

Although the Devil Crying Mausoleum is among the major sects. But he rarely interacted with other sects. Such a strange sect is near the crack of the Mingyuan. How could other sects not pay attention? As soon as there was a change in Xuan Iceland, the disciples of the nearby Taibai Sect reported back to the sect. At present, there is no danger in sight, and Yuan Ningzi has hung this task in the consular hall out of caution.

If it weren't for the three of them grabbing the task, it is estimated that it would be which Jiedan monk saw it, took it casually and went around in a circle, and then went back to report.

But because this task was taken by three people. They don't plan to go together, so they have to compete. Such a simple task can't be compared to the other two, right? Because of the Lotus Terrace Society, they are in direct competition!

Lingyu inquired carefully and left Yinshan City.

Coincidentally, when she asked the old monk for news, another monk happened to come over to buy something, saying that she had also seen the Taibai Sect's seniors passing by yesterday.

Lingyu's heart moved, and she asked two questions, and sure enough, it was Song Xu and Lu Yingfeng.

Song Xu was a disciple of Yuan Ningzi. It is easiest to inquire about the news, Lu Yingfeng is the beloved disciple of the first monk of the sect. It was also easy, and the two of them didn't have to think too much about it, so they came over directly.

Lingyu thought of herself, she had been a disciple on duty when she was refining qi, and her communication was quite extensive, but it was a pity that she had experienced two tragedies, one was Zhurong Mountain, and the other was Linhai Battlefield, in which many fellow disciples died. After many years of closed-door cultivation and cultivation, after a few decades, the sect has become a generation of new people replacing the old, and the old connections are no longer needed.

Perhaps, she should make some new friends, the benefits of networking may not be visible for a while, and she can help when she needs it.

Out of Yinshan City, Lingyu turned into a ray of light and rushed to the sea.

Song Xu and Lu Yingfeng came a day earlier, and I don't know how the investigation is going so far, it shouldn't be over yet, right? Xuan Iceland is not small, and it takes a lot of time just to fly around.

While flying, he thought absentmindedly, and suddenly saw a light coming from the corner of his eye, and quickly passed by her.

Looking at the other party's speed, maintaining a fast and not hurried range, it must be the same as her, she is in a hurry. But I don't know which sect and which sect of monks, judging from the retreat, is also a Taoist cultivator. By the way, the other party seems to have flown from the seaside, could it be that another sect sent to explore Xuan Iceland?

The thought just crossed her mind, and she tossed it aside. Whether it is or not, it has nothing to do with her. The Taibai Sect will send disciples to explore Xuan Iceland, and of course other sects will do the same.

Not long after, she saw the mysterious Devil's Crying Tomb.

From a distance, the Devil's Cry Mausoleum looks like a slanted tombstone, leaning diagonally against the shoreline. A closer look reveals that the tombstone is actually an abandoned ship.

It is rumored that the sect of the Ghost Crying Tomb is a psychic magic weapon in itself, and it is famous in the era when the catastrophe of the sky has never happened. Later, when the catastrophe occurred, the monk who possessed this magic weapon fell, and this treasure was half destroyed and buried in the northeast corner of Lingcang. After that, the Devil's Crying Mausoleum was established, and this treasure was used as the station of the sect.

Although it is a magic weapon to abandon, because the body is very strong, the defense power of the Ghost Crying Tomb, the sect's station, is no worse than that of other major sects, and it is much stronger in terms of solidity alone. Moreover, because of the particularity of this treasure, they created a ghost domain within the sect, making it an excellent hiding place for cultivators like them who practiced Yin Soul Arts. Legend has it that inside this giant ship, half of the land and half of the sea are like two worlds, which is extremely mysterious.

Because there is a crack in the Ming Yuan and the Yin Mountain in the vicinity, there are no normal creatures in this sea area, just like the Dead Sea. But there are some wonderful things, ghost-like, not powerful, but terrifying. Especially after nightfall, the blue ghost fire floats in the air, and the dark ghosts roam around, as if they have really entered some ghost domain.

Yin Mountain and Ghost Weeping Tomb are more like the Yellow Spring of the Underworld than the Netherworld Sect.

Lingyu stopped nearby, didn't find anything special, and flew into the sea, and after an hour, she saw a big island in black and white from a distance.

This island is Xuan Iceland, the white nature is ice, and the black one is the Yin Monster. Flying here, there are already Yin Ghost Monsters around me, and most of these monsters are not highly intelligent, just wandering around aimlessly.

Lingyu took out the map and looked at it, preparing to fly around Xuan Iceland before talking.

Xuan Iceland is not a small island, even if it is a monk who wants to go around, it will take three or five hours. She slowed down and flew not far away, recording what she had seen and heard as she flew.

At first glance, Xuan Iceland was affected by the aura of the Ming Abyss, and the island was covered with a thick layer of black gas, like a black quilt, covering the entire island. From above, you can't see the scene inside the island at all.

There are indeed a lot of ghost monsters on the island, one litter after another, densely packed together, and people have goosebumps.

Looking at these Yin Soul Monsters, Ling Yu had an idea, if you are short of money, it is a good idea to go to Xuan Iceland to hunt Yin Soul Monsters, although for the Monk Jiedan, the income of black chalcedony is not high, but it can add up to a lot! No matter how low the price is, it can't afford to sell in piles.

It can be seen that the Ghost Crying Tomb did not abandon Xuan Iceland, there are traces of the formations they laid on the island, if it weren't for these formations, I'm afraid the Yin Ghost Monster would have run out long ago. It was not a good thing for a low-level cultivator that so many Yin Soul Monsters gathered together, and then Yin Mountain City would become a real dead city.

Half a day later, Lingyu flew to the other end of the island, where it was next to Mingyuan, and Mingyuan's qi continued to emerge from the cracks.

Lingyu stopped on the edge of the Ming Yuan. It is a miraculous sight, the sea is cut off, revealing a huge ditch that is so wide and deep that it has no depth. Amazingly, the sea does not follow the rules of flowing downward, as if it is blocked by an invisible wall, and does not leak down into the abyss.

She looked at it for a while, but found nothing special, so she flew back, intending to circle the other side, and if she didn't find anything abnormal, she would go into the island to find out.

The Yin Monsters on Xuan Iceland generally only have a foundation level, and they are not powerful, but they can't be taken lightly. The quest scroll says that there are also Yin Soul Monsters at the level of Yudan and Yuanying on the island, so it's better to avoid them early when you encounter them. Besides, there are many ants that can bite and kill elephants, and it is usually miserable to ignore the fate of the opponent.

While going around the other side, Lingyu stopped somewhere.

Was it her delusion? How did it seem that under the cover of the aura of the Ming Abyss, I saw a faint fire? It's a pity that even the divine sense is limited here.

When she recorded all the peripheral conditions of Xuan Iceland in the jade slip, the day passed, and it was dark.

Lingyu didn't plan to go into Iceland in the dark, such a gloomy and terrifying place, if she bumped into something, wouldn't she scare herself?

So, seeing that night was falling, she found a reef above the water, set up a formation, set up a tent, and then took out the talisman to keep vigil, and then sat down to rest.

This reef, a little distance from Xuan Iceland, will not be affected by the abyss qi in it, and the Yin Monster that wanders nearby is solved by Fu Bing, and she is not affected at all.

When you go to the island tomorrow, you must save your strength, in case you encounter the Yin Soul Monster of the Yudan Yuanying, there is room to escape. Besides, with so many Yin Soul Monsters, even if their strength is low, it will take time to clean them up if they want to get in.

Speaking of which, why didn't you see the disciples of the Ghost Crying Tomb? Xuan Iceland was so close to them, it was impossible that there would be no disciples stationed, and if he met them, he might be able to get detailed information.

Surrounded by the ghosts, Lingyu meditated and waited for the night to pass.

Just in the middle of the moon, when the surroundings were deep and silent, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of Xuan Iceland.

Lingyu didn't pay attention to it at first, but it wasn't until there were more and more Yin Monsters around her that she needed to be dispatched from time to time that she stopped meditating and opened her eyes.

"Could it be that there is some kind of riot in Xuan Iceland?" She came out of the tent and looked through the dim moonlight, only to see the ghostly monsters scattering desperately outside like a stabbed wasp.

Lingyu looked at it for a while, but still didn't see the riot subside, and with a thought, she put away the tent formation and flew towards Xuan Iceland with the runes. (To be continued......)
