......

At noon the next day, Mo Lanjiong returned to the town tired, came to the Lingbao Pavilion, slapped the soul source bead to the counter with one palm, and the shopkeeper hurriedly rushed over when he saw this: "Childe, you are..."

As soon as the young man in front of him entered the store, there was a strong evil aura that swept in, and the shopkeeper couldn't help frowning.

Mo Lanjiong didn't speak, he pushed the soul source bead in his hand forward, the shopkeeper looked at the ink bead and hesitated for a few seconds, his face instantly turned pale, and he immediately covered Mo Lanjiong's hand and whispered: "Hey, hey! This son, this thing must not be exposed!"

"It's just a soul source bead, why is the store so nervous?"

"Childe Mo Yan, come with me quickly!" The shopkeeper hurriedly brought Mo Lanjiong into an inner room.

"Childe, you don't know, the soul source bead is also a blessing, as soon as Childe enters the shop, there is a bad breath coming to the face, I see that Childe is not a cultivator, at first glance, this thing is a trouble, must not be exposed!"

"Oh?"

Mo Lanjiong looked around, but fortunately there was no one else at the moment.

"Childe, can you show me this thing?"

Mo Lanjiong handed over the Soul Source Bead and secretly looked at the shopkeeper.

"Shhh

As soon as the palm of his hand touched, the cold aura gushed out, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but tremble, almost not holding it.

The shopkeeper's expression narrowed slightly, pushed the old frame mirror on the bridge of his nose, and carefully held up the soul source bead.

Through a ray of warm sun, the dark qi in the soul source bead surged wildly, and it seemed to be very resistant.

"This is—" The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly.

"Dare to ask Childe, where did you get this thing?" the shopkeeper turned around and asked, his tone very hurried.

"It's... I got it by chance. Mo Lanjiong kept a trace of his heart.

"This Soul Source Pearl..."The shopkeeper looked stunned, and stopped talking, and once again passed it through the sunlight, and everything he saw was the same sign.

"It's a corpse... The soul source of the corpse scorpion!"

Hundreds of years ago, the corpse scorpion was rampant, in order to harm the Tianhua side, Tianhua Prefecture brought all the strength to it, and it was able to be eliminated, and the scorpion king was also sealed in the eighteen dragon coil lock soul array, and now the Southern Wilderness Ridge. The shopkeeper has been running the Lingbao Pavilion for many years, and he naturally understands the strange things.

Carefully measuring the teenager in front of him, the shopkeeper shook his head secretly.

Anyone who enters the Eighteen Dragon Disc Soul Lock Array has never survived, and this Soul Source Bead must have other origins!

"This is an evil thing, it is no good for you to keep the child, the small shop wants to exchange this thing for fifty silver, what does the son think?"

The shopkeeper secretly observed Mo Lanjiong, the young man in front of him was dirty and old, he was not a rich and noble household, how could he not be moved by such a high price?

"Damn!

When Mo Lanjiong heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't expect a soul source bead to be so valuable. Thinking back to the hundreds of crimson poisonous scorpions in the ancient cave, as well as the terrifying scorpion king, Mo Lanjiong was helpless for a while.

"Right!"

Mo Lanjiong had never seen a silver dollar so far, and now there were fifty of them, Mo Lanjiong was overjoyed, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll get it for you!"

After a while, a box of silver dollars was placed on the mahogany table, and the slanting sun reflected the silver light.

"Is this the silver dollar?"

Looking at a box full of silver dollars, Mo Lanjiong's eyes exuded a sparkling light and shadow.

......

"Hey, hey, hey~ Oh my God... It's a lot of money!"

After Mo Lanjiong left, the shopkeeper immediately came to the top floor of the attic and gently put the soul source bead into a beautiful treasure chest.

"In a few days, I'll go to the Pingcheng Treasure Pavilion, as long as I can sell this treasure, won't it be in the future... Hahaha~" The shopkeeper imagined himself lying in the sea of money, and saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

......

When he returned to his residence, he saw the master sleeping on a wooden recliner, but Mo Lanjiong did not disturb him.

After all, the master has been unpopular with himself for many years, and Mo Lanjiong has long been downsizing on his feelings.

Master once said, "Only those who shake the world can shake the heavens and the earth, and only love is something that cannot be contained." ”

Mo Lanjiong didn't know if he would have such a day, but he understood that many times the seven emotions and six desires were indeed enough to crush a person.

"It's back. Master said quietly.

"Hmm, Master, you're awake. ”

"There is a three-year-old rooster stewed in the pot, and I specially stuffed a Ganoderma lucidum into it for the teacher, which is enough for you to replenish your body. ”

"Good. ”

Mo Lanjiong didn't think much about it, his stomach was already out of oil, and he hurriedly entered the house and devoured it.

Seeing that Mo Lanjiong had been coming out for a long time, the master shouted calmly:

"Did you leave some for the teacher?"

"No... No!" Mo Lanjiong smiled extremely embarrassed.

"Good boy, I haven't eaten it yet, so you'll finish it for me?" When the Master heard this, he suddenly sat up.

"Master, I'm so... I'm so hungry, hehe..."

"That's it, but you kid can, I haven't seen you all night, and the force has made progress again!"

"I heard that there is an ancient cave in the north of the town, and I ...... last night" Mo Lanjiong roughly told the general what had happened.

"Hmph, thanks to your luck, I met a corpse scorpion king with a locked soul. ”

"Soul locking?"

"The corpse scorpion is vicious, often feeds on human flesh, and the whole body is as gray as corpse bones in the larval stage, and after a hundred years of adult life, the whole body is red, and the cultivation is greatly increased, as for the thousand-year-old corpse scorpion king, it is not within the scope of your comprehension. Master said solemnly.

"There are so many corpse scorpions in the ancient cave, and there is another corpse scorpion king here, according to what the master said, wouldn't the world be in chaos!" Mo Lanjiong suddenly lost color.

"Don't worry, listen to the teacher. ”

Mo Lanjiong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly fell silent.

"A long time ago, the corpse scorpion was rampant in Tianhua, and in order to suppress the Scorpion King, Tianhua Wuxiu built a huge soul-shaking pool, called the Eighteen Dragon Disk Lock Soul Array, the array pool is the main, and the spirit lock is supplemented. ”

"No wonder that's so..."Mo Lanjiong suddenly realized.

"Due to the suppression of the stone henge, the corpse scorpion cannot escape, and can only keep opening the rocks to find rotting food, the corpse scorpion is good at sucking, and the hole is a good foraging place. The scorpion resonates, the suction is very strong, and you have a talisman spirit array, so you will not be affected. ”

I see!

Mo Lanjiong finally sorted out the ins and outs.

"And the end of the soul locking array is suppressed by a weapon against the sky, and all those who build the formation must stay in the array, once the spirit weapon is out of place, the scorpion king will definitely go out to make trouble. ”

"What!"

Mo Lanjiong frowned, no wonder there were so many corpses in the lake!

Thinking of this, Mo Lanjiong was secretly frightened: "If someone sneaks into the ancient cave, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

The master waved his hand: "It's okay! The Soul Shaking Pool is filled with poisonous gas, and no one can enter it." By the way, presumably you brought the soul source bead of the corpse scorpion!" Master said in a deep voice.

"I..." Mo Lanjiong's heart tightened.

"Leave it to me!" Master's face turned grim.

"I've already sold it to Lingbao Pavilion for fifty silver dollars!" Mo Lanjiong went back to the house and took out a package, and the silver dollars scattered inside shone brightly.

"What? The corpse scorpion's soul source bead will only harm living beings, and you can't keep it! Why do you want to do such a foolish thing!" The master was red-faced, angry, and said angrily.

"Huh...?"

Mo Lanjiong thought that the master would be happy, but he was stunned at this moment.

"Well, that's it, be careful not to make such mistakes again. "Master is deeply helpless, once the corpse scorpion soul source bead is exposed, it will definitely bring panic.

Mo Lanjiong didn't expect that he would be confused for a while and make such a big mistake.

"Also... One more thing, Master. ”

"What?"

"One of the dead boys seems to be a child of the Zhan family in Longling Town. ”

"Oh, were there other people around?" asked the master with a frown.

"It's just me!"

The town is all respectful to the fighters, and Mo Lanjiong is inevitably worried.

"What if you find out? Those who are clear will clear themselves, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

"But..."

Before Mo Lanjiong finished speaking, the master waved his hand and said:

"If they really come to make trouble, and they have been teachers for many years, don't they know how to deal with it?"

"Got it, Master. Mo Lanjiong's face was resolute and he didn't say more.

......

Three days later

The town, the Zhan family

"What? My son is missing?"

The second elder stared at the head of the family, Zhan Xi, in disbelief, and clenched his fists.

"I also just received news from the spies, in the southern suburbs of the town, I found Hu'er's amulet, other than that, there is nothing else, I'm afraid it's ......"

Zhan Xi's face was worried, his own junior suffered from this catastrophe, and as the patriarch, he was inevitably anxious.

"What a big dar! Even my son of Zhanxiao dares to move!"

Zhan Xiao was furious, and smashed the wooden table beside him with one palm.

"The third brother is angry, before the matter is investigated, he can't make a rash conclusion, Hu'er he may also..."

Zhan Xi knew Zhan Xiao's temperament very well, so he had to stabilize his state of mind first.

"Damn! Once I find out which piece of miscellaneous stuff did it, I will definitely break it into pieces!" Zhan Xiao's eyes widened with anger, and his forehead was covered with green tendons.

"I have sent someone to Nanling to investigate, as soon as there is news, we will be notified immediately, the third brother does not need to be too anxious, just ......" Zhan Xi stopped when he wanted to speak.

Seeing Zhan Xiao's angry face, Zhan Xi said in a deep voice:

"The spies found that the place where the tiger talisman fell, not far from the Nanling Ancient Cave..."

"Big brother mean that Nanling Ancient Cave?" Zhan Xi suddenly noticed something, and his heart trembled.

"Third brother, don't hide it, yesterday the spies went to explore near the ancient cave, but the divine stone outside the cave has collapsed, I suspect ......"

"Could it be ......" Zhan Xi was very annoyed, why didn't he tell Zhan Hu earlier that Nanling was not a good place.

As early as hundreds of years ago, corpse scorpions were rampant in the Pingcheng area, and the people were miserable. The major families of Tianhua Prefecture combined with the machine array division for several years, and wiped out the corpse nest one after another, but the scorpion king was extremely ferocious, and everywhere he went, he was still unable to subdue it.

At the beginning, the northern part of Pingcheng was deserted for dozens of miles, and hundreds of machine formation divisions in Tianhua Prefecture lasted more than 30 years to build a huge underground soul shaking pool here, and only a few years later did the corpse scorpion king be introduced into the pool and cast with a living soul......

Two days later

"There's a situation, third brother!"

Zhan Xi hurried over to inform him of this important news.

Zhan Xiao's eyes trembled, and he immediately got up.

"Just five days ago, Hu'er went to the Phantom Machine with a few teenagers and bought a lot of machine attack weapons, but he disappeared that night, and the main stone of the Ancient Cave Rune Formation also collapsed inexplicably that night!" Zhan Xi said uneasily.

"Phantom Francium? Could it be that they really ......" Zhan Xi suddenly sat down on the ground, his eyes blank.

"Alas, the ancient cave has always been a forbidden place in Longling Town, and no one dares to sneak in to investigate at the moment!"

"Impossible, no! My son has always had a great fate, and he won't die like this!" Zhan Xiao was incoherent, hugging his head and wailing.

"Right now... There's a suspicious clue!"

"Speak quickly, the head of the family!" Zhan Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked.

"According to investigation, before Hu'er and his party disappeared, there was also a teenager who also bought things into the cave in the phantom machine. The next morning, someone had seen the boy in the town, disgraced and embarrassed. ”

"What?"

"This matter maybe... It's related!" Zhan Xi speculated.

"Immediately track down the whereabouts of that miscellaneous piece, live to see people, dead to see corpses!" Zhan Xiao filled his chest with anger and clenched his fists.

"Good!"

"And all the suspicious characters!"

......

Lingbao Pavilion is naturally the focus of the Zhan family's investigation, and the shopkeeper is not a vegetarian, so naturally he didn't explain the matter of the Soul Source Bead, but for that guess, he couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it!

......
