Chapter 25: The Secret at the Bottom of the Cliff

"Hehe, girl, you don't know this! I live at the bottom of a cliff, but I have my own way to get up. The old man touched his not-so-long beard and said with a smile.

"Can you go up? Didn't you just say that no one can survive at the bottom of this cliff? What's so strange at the bottom of this cliff? ”

Su Lan asked in surprise, according to his previous experience, this forest was indeed full of dangers, and the source of danger was those fruits and strange-looking beasts that Su Lan had never seen.

The old man looked ahead, and his thoughts flew to a long time ago: "About fifty years ago, when I was still a teenager, I followed my master to the southern realm, intending to settle down in the southern realm, but it didn't take long for our enemies to come to the door, and they forced me and my master to jump into this cliff, which was not like this at that time. ”

"Just an ordinary cliff bottom?"

"yes"

"Then why did it become like this?"

"Because...... Master, my master has been seriously injured under the pursuit of the enemy, I was just a child with low mana at the time, we couldn't go up, but the master was worried. But because of his excessive blood loss, it is very likely that he will not survive, let alone go ashore, so he ...... My master used a forbidden technique. ”

"Forbidden? I've never heard of cultivating mystical power and forbidden arts! Su Lan was very surprised and a little puzzled, of course, this may also be her own loneliness.

Yinan shook his head: "No, the master is not using a forbidden technique related to Xuan Li. ”

"What's that?"

"Do you remember the first time we met? I'm telling you I'm a charmer? ”

"Remember, so your master is also a charmer?"

"Hmm"

"But I've been cultivating in the Chu Kingdom for so many years, and I've never heard of such a person as a spell master?"

Yinan sneered: "Of course you won't hear of it!" ”

Suddenly, Yinan remembered something: "When I was leaving, I told you not to tell others that I am a charmer, have you done it?" ”

"Uh......" Su Lan was a little embarrassed: "I...... I only told my master. ”

"But my master, he's not the kind of person who will talk nonsense." Su Lan gave Yinan a reassuring look.

"Alas!" Yinan sighed heavily: "Do you know why I told you not to tell others at that time?" ”

"I don't know"

A sad look appeared on Yinan's face, and he recounted the past.

"Spell masters were a particularly hot group of people a thousand years ago, but there are very few people who can become spell masters, and there are not many heaven and earth aura that spell masters can condense. Because, first of all, if you want to become a spell master, you have to gather the aura of heaven and earth and condense it under the spell master's pen, and furthermore, the shape of the spell is very difficult to draw, let alone pull the aura to form a pattern when condensing the aura. ”

"But thousands of years ago, there would be a few spell masters in each country, and they enjoyed the preferential treatment brought to them by various countries, but the good times of spell masters did not last long, about a hundred years ago, at that time, a country's spell master had a crazy idea, that is, to extract the mysterious power of others in a special way and use it to draw spells, so that it is much simpler than condensing the aura of heaven and earth, and the number of spell masters will gradually increase."

"It took this crazy spellmaster years to create a spell that formed the secondary spell into a formation and put the cultivators of Xuan Li into the formation. Once the formation is activated, those cultivators will be like dried corpses, and the mysterious power on their bodies will form different colors of liquid due to different attributes, and the people participating in this experiment will purify these liquids and then use them to draw spells, and the power of these charms is really extraordinary. ”

Unfortunately, the mad spellmaster told their Emperor about the discovery, and the Emperor agreed with the charmer's idea and put a lot of manpower and material resources into the experiment. In the end, they found that the more liquid was extracted from the Xuanli powerhouse, the higher the purity. So they started capturing practitioners. ”

"To make matters worse, the charmer created a spell that could curse others with a charm, and the emperor at that time was very happy, and rewarded the charmer greatly, and secretly destroyed many enemies, and his country grew stronger."

Later, someone discovered and exposed these shady deeds, and publicized the squeezing of other people's occult power and cursed charms, because many people had died at that time, causing panic among the people. Therefore, the other nations united with the powerful and soldiers of various countries to encircle and suppress the charmer. ”

"Because there were not many charmers on the continent at that time, about 3,000 people, and it was not known which of them were involved in these things and who were not, so the charmers became extinct, and the books about charmers were almost burned, and in the next few hundred years, no one mentioned the group of charmers, and the world gradually forgot about them."

After Yinan finished telling the tragic fate of the charmer, Su Lan was shocked, and at the same time felt disgusted with the charmers who participated in the play, and sympathized with those innocent charmers, who had done nothing but caused the disaster of killing.

"So your master is a descendant of the surviving charmers? And he used the forbidden technique when he was about to die, but what does this have to do with the strangeness at the bottom of the cliff? ”

Su Lan connected what Yinan said, but she still didn't understand why Yinan said that everything at the bottom of the cliff was related to her master.

"Because ......" Yinan closed his eyes in some pain, and then continued: "Master, he doesn't know how the forbidden technique is used, so he can only rely on a forbidden book he read before to try to activate the forbidden technique. But the master failed in the end, and then he changed. ”

"Mutation?"

"Yes, in fact, the beasts you saw before are what the master looked like after the mutation, but the size of the master after the mutation is much larger than what you saw before."

"What? The beast was ...... So how did those beasts come about? Su Lan frowned, this beast will not reproduce on its own, there should be something that Yinan did not mention.

"After the master turned into that monster, the six relatives didn't recognize it, so I found a relatively small cave and hid and escaped. However, there were huge mystical fluctuations at the bottom of the entire cliff, and the people on the cliff thought that there was a heavy treasure at the bottom of the cliff to have such strong mystical fluctuations, so a large number of people came down to the bottom of the cliff. ”

"Could it be that those monsters I encountered were transformed by the people who came down the cliff?"

"That's right, they came in a team, the number of them is not more than a hundred, and they are not the opponent of the alienated master at all, and if the alienated blood of the master infects the wounds of the person, he will be delirious, and slowly, the person will also turn into a monster and lose his mind."

"But not all people will be alienated, and there are some people who are dead, not alienated, their corpses moisten the soil, and they have become the fruits of those mutant trees, including some ordinary animals at the bottom of the cliff, most of them have also become the fruits of the trees, and now except for some spirit beasts at the bottom of the cliff are hiding, the entire bottom of the cliff except for those monsters is those trees"

"This ...... It's just horrible, it's incredible! Su Lan shuddered a little when she thought of the result of her fainting, the thought that she would become that disgusting fruit, or a terrible monster.

"Then I ate that fruit before, and although I vomited it in the end, I still swallowed some of the juice of the fruit, am I okay?" Su Lan suddenly thought of this and asked worriedly.

"It's a good thing you didn't eat it all, you just swallowed some of the juice, and the fruit was so poisonous that you couldn't afford to fall into a coma, otherwise you'd have become a monster yourself. You've been lying with me for two days, and after a few more drinks, the residual poison on your body will almost be gone. ”

Su Lan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and thanked Yinan for a while, "Thank you for saving me, old man." By the way, old man, I don't know your name? ”

"Huh! You used to call me an old man, but now you call me an old man? “

Su Lan was a little embarrassed: "I was ignorant before, besides, you are now my savior!" ”

"Humph! Flim tongue girl! ”

"Can you tell me your name now?"

Yinan stroked his beard: "The old decay line will not change its name, and it will not change its surname, Yinan is also." ”

"Yinan, Yinan, Mr. Yinan, thank you for saving me." Su Lan muttered Yinan's name and thanked him again.

Then, Su Lan looked at Yinan and pleaded seriously: "Mr. Yinan, I want to go to the man I mentioned to you before who fell down with me, and I want to ask the old man to help me!" ”

Su Lan thought to himself, if Yinan can live alone at the bottom of this cliff, he must be very familiar with the bottom of this cliff.

"What's your relationship with that man? So worried about him? ”

"He ......" Su Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "He is a good friend of mine." Su Lan thought to herself, he and Xiao Ling can be regarded as sharing hardships, and it is no problem to say that Xiao Ling is her friend.

"Did you know that you've been in a coma for two days, and that the person who fell with you might be dead in those two days?" Yinan frowned and looked at Su Lan and asked.

"Then I'm going to see it too, if he's still alive, I'll save her, he'll fall because of me, even if it'...... Even if I can't find him, I have to see his robe, or I don't believe he's dead. ”

Su Lan said firmly, her eyes were full of tears, if it wasn't for saving her, Xiao Ling wouldn't have fallen at all, Su Lan was now full of guilt for Xiao Ling, and the thought that Xiao Ling might have died made her heart uncomfortable.
