Chapter 672: Breaking the Cocoon
The young man had been tied up for too long, suffered some hardships, and his blood was not smooth, and at this time the rope was loosened, and his hands and feet were still a little disobedient, and he was paralyzed on the ground and panting.
Xiang Si, who was carried to the railing like a chicken, was stunned for a moment, and it didn't take long for him to laugh out loud.
After a while, she seemed to have laughed enough, and then she pursed her mouth, revealing the pears on both sides of her cheeks:
"Seriously, Chu Rong smelled your body and asked you for clothes, did you find anything?"
Song Qing urinated and remembered the black juice spewing out of the old man curled up inside the holy temple when she broke open the black cocoon.
The juice was so smelly that it splashed on my body, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to wash it off.
Chu Rong ignored the exposed crisis at that time, and deliberately came to sniff, which should be smelling this smell.
As Xiang Si said, he asked people to bring hot water to let her bathe and change her clothes, I am afraid that it was just to take her clothes to confirm.
"Probably."
She grabbed her hair, answered lightly, she touched her wrist, Xiang Si saw her action, and she found a hair rope out of nowhere, and before she handed it over, she saw a hairpin suddenly appear in Song Qingxiao's hand, and tied her hair in a knot behind her head.
Song Qing's little hair was not tied well, the knot was not stable, loose, and a few strands of broken hair hung down on both sides of her cheeks, embellishing her cold temperament with a few traces of lazy feeling.
It's a good hairpin, although it has no spiritual power, but it should be a valuable jewel in the world.
It's just that Song Qingxiao doesn't look like a person who will spend effort for these things outside his body, Xiangsi himself is also a personal essence, and when he thought about it, he understood that Song Qingxiao must have killed a beauty-loving female cultivator and won someone's Qiankun bag!
Thinking of this, she became vigilant, and the steps she originally wanted to take slowly shrank back.
"When I opened the black cocoon, the 'person' inside the cocoon spewed out a kind of black water, which was very fishy." Song Qingxiao saw Xiang Si's small movements, but he didn't break it.
When this sentence was spoken, Xiang Si suddenly put his previous thoughts behind him, and his eyes widened in surprise:
"Is there really someone in there?"
Song Qing glanced at her with a smile, Xiangsi's psychological quality is also good, and when she looked at her like this, not only did she not feel embarrassed, but laughed twice and urged her to say quickly.
This person is not very old, but he has a black heart and a thick face.
Song Qingxiao ignored her, just glanced at Pinluo, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked:
"Are you feeling better?"
Xiang Si raised her eyebrows, obviously not understanding how she could care about the life and death of an ordinary person at this time.
But her lips moved, and she didn't speak.
"It's better." Pin Luo nodded, he still had palpitations, when he was caught by Chu Rong and the others before, he was frightened, thinking that he was going to die, but he didn't expect Song Qingxiao to appear and save him.
The young man felt a little guilty, he thought that his rash move to save Qinglu tonight should have brought trouble to Song Qingxiao, but instead of being angry with herself, she saved him at a critical moment.
"Cough, cough, Miss Song......" He couldn't stand up, sat on the ground, and was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look at Song Qingxiao's eyes:
"I ......"
He stammered, but Song Qingxiao didn't seem to notice his guilty look, but asked:
"What did you see them feeding her in the dew house?"
When Chu Rong said that Pinluo was 'guilty', the young man retorted loudly, and at that time he also said that the people of Yulun Realm fed poison to Qinglu, who was about to become a sacrifice at the Dragon King Festival.
It's just that at that time, everyone's attention was focused on the person who broke into the temple, so both sides skipped this matter for their own reasons.
Song Qingxiao didn't mention it at the time, and only after sending Chu Rong and the others away at this time did he ask about Pinluo.
Hearing her mention this incident, the frightened Pinluo showed a little fear on his face again.
"I was going to save people tonight......"
He found that the lantern was extinguished tonight, and was about to take Song Qingxiao away, but found that she was not awake, and finally decided to save one person first, and told the truth about it.
This young man, who was caught by the people of the Yulun Void Realm and almost made a big accident, mentioned the previous situation at this time, and his voice was still trembling.
He took advantage of the extinguishing of the lantern and escaped all the way out of the attic.
In the afternoon, he listened to Song Qingxiao chatting with Xiang Si, and also knew the approximate residence where Qinglu was, plus Xiang Si secretly 'helped', and soon broke into Qinglu's residence.
Because Xiang Si broke into the holy temple two days ago, there were several people from the Yulun Realm guarding the Qinglu House.
"When I went, I saw that they brought her a bowl of something that was dark and I don't know what to drink."
He said the scene at that time, with a disgusting look:
"I don't know what it is, but it stinks......" he said here, with a strange expression, as if he was trying to describe it, and stammered for a while:
"It's not for people anyway."
It's like a walking corpse, and after drinking, it's like a puppet that has lost its mind, and it's not noisy or noisy.
At that time, he was so scared that he revealed his clues, and was caught by the people of Yulun's Void Realm.
Song Qingxiao also knew about the rest of the things.
After Chu Rong caught him, he brought him to Song Qingxiao, thinking that the two conspired to catch her.
But for some reason, in the end, Chu Rong chose to temporarily retreat half a step and led a large group of people to go first.
Pinro thought of this, and a heart that had not yet completely relaxed raised to his throat again, and stammered:
"Miss Song, tomorrow, will they come back tomorrow?"
What he did may affect Song Qingxiao, and today he is willing to give up, probably because he wants to go back and ask for Chang's instructions.
If Yichang speaks, not only will it be difficult for him to protect himself, but he may also affect her.
The people here are lawless, regard human life as child's play, tonight things are so big, but Uncle Xiang and the others are nowhere to be found, even if something big happens tomorrow, according to Uncle Xiang's groveling demeanor when he saw Yichang, I am afraid he will not help save a few people.
Pin Luo now seems to have some means, but after all, they are just young girls, and they may not be able to compete with these manpower in the Yulun Realm.
After listening to him, Song Qingxiao already knew it in his heart.
The 'black liquid' mentioned by Pinro was extremely fishy, and she thought of the black water that spewed out of the old man's body when she broke open the black cocoon.
She flipped her palm, and a black ice ball about the size of a fist, glowing with cold air, was held in her hand.
As soon as that thing appeared, Xiang Si's expression changed, and before he could speak, Song Qing handed this thing to Pin Luo and asked:
"Is that what it smells like?"
Pinro was a little stunned at first when he saw her conjure up a black ice hockey ball like a trick, and then he saw her hold it up and bring it to him to sniff.
Before the thing could get close to the tip of his nose, a foul-smelling smell came over him.
The smell was strange and peculiar, something like blood that had begun to rot and deteriorate, and it was extremely fishy and had a foul smell.
As soon as he smelled it, he thought that Qinglu was still being fed and eaten a lot, and suddenly his stomach was like a river and a sea, and he couldn't help it anymore, and nodded while retching:
"Yes......"
"Where did you come from, I'll take a look......" Xiang Si saw Pin Luo nodding, and even though he wanted to stretch out his hand, Song Qingxiao threw it back into his Qiankun bag after Pin Luo confirmed it, making her pounce.
Seeing this, Xiang Si frowned slightly at first, and then loosened it again, hiding this trace of different color well, replacing it with the girl's coquettish and dissatisfied look, tilting his head and grabbing his release, and complaining:
"Why are you holding such a grudge?" Her tone was wistful, "Didn't you say that you would form an alliance?" ”
Song Qingxiao went through all the information in her heart at this time, and she already had some bottom, and when she heard Xiangsi's words, she turned her head to look at her:
"Alliance?" She smiled slightly, her tone a little playful.
Smart people don't need to be too sharp when they speak, Xiang Si heard her tone, and suddenly sighed:
"Okay."
She glanced at Pinro and unceremoniously banished:
"You can leave."
Pinluo wiped his mouth and glanced at Song Qingxiao at a loss:
"Where am I going?"
At this moment, he was in an awkward position in the Yulun Void Realm, and it was not right to stay anywhere.
"We two girls talking, are you a big man embarrassed to eavesdrop?" Although Xiang Si said that he was smiling 'hehe', but that smile did not reach his eyes, which made Pinluo feel that this girl's smile looked much more sinister than his first appearance, which made him shudder.
He wanted to say, 'I'm embarrassed to eavesdrop', but judging from Xiangsi's expression, it was obvious that he was not very welcome.
The young man was also self-aware, and knew that Xiang Si did not welcome him, probably because his reckless actions tonight had caused trouble for the two ladies.
In frustration, Song Qing said gently:
"Feel free to find a place to rest." He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and when he was on the boat, he was comforted by her spiritual powers, and he rested for a moment.
But after entering the Yulun Realm, I was frightened, and I was arrested tonight, and I was exhausted, and I really needed to take a good rest.
"Don't worry, no one can take you away in this attic."
When she said this, her tone was not subdued, nor loud, like an oath, but a very gentle and casual remark, but for some reason, Pinro's tense heart suddenly fell back to its original place because of her gentle tone.
The young man, who had been apprehensive before, nodded, and the tiredness, panic, and anxiety that had been forcibly suppressed came up one by one.
He also knew that Song Qingxiao still had something to talk to Xiang Si, and he thought of the old man named 'Thirteen' who was waiting downstairs, forcibly dragging his tired body, and went downstairs to stare at the old man, afraid that he would come up.
After Pinluo left, Xiang Si let go of his divine sense, isolating the possibility of others hearing the conversation between the two before he spoke:
"Well, the last time I broke into the temple, I was already discovered before I made any noise." At that time, in order to half-bluff Song Qingxiao, she also wanted to talk from her mouth, and at the same time had some other thoughts, deliberately making her words ambiguous.
originally thought that the result of her night visit to the holy temple tonight might be similar to herself, but Song Qingxiao not only really seemed to have broken into the holy temple, but also seemed to have heard some news.
Such a situation made Xiang Si feel that he might have vaguely misestimated the cultivation of this 'alliance', and at the same time, he felt at ease because of the strong strength she displayed.
After all, the two of them may be facing the joint efforts of three mid-level cultivators of the Infant Transformation Realm, and the fifth black-robed man is more likely to have reached the level of the top level of the Transformation Infant Realm, and the stronger Song Qingxiao's strength, the more beneficial it will be to her in a way.
"The stele is strange, there is a formation on it, I don't know if these people painted it themselves, or invited a master to lay it down." Xiang Si wrapped the hair rope he had taken out earlier around his finger and said:
"Even if I didn't say it, I could handle it with your strength."
Song Qingxiao was noncommittal, and did not answer her words, Xiang Si showed a trace of helplessness on his face, and then said:
"When I broke open the stele, I did find the black callon."
The black cocoon was extremely hard, and Xiang Si did not quietly open the cocoon without alarming people at all, she hesitated:
"What's more, I didn't go there in person at that time, so I only tore off a layer of cocoon skin and came back."
As for the existence of 'human chrysalis' in the cocoon, she speculated based on the only clues so far, but she guessed the truth by mistake.
At this point, she also knew that if she didn't tell the truth, Song Qingxiao might be difficult to pass here, so when she mentioned taking the cocoon skin on the black cocoon, she deliberately stomped on her jade feet.
The sound of the toes stepping on the wooden floor 'bang' is blocked by the divine sense, making it difficult for outsiders to peep.
With the toe stamping, the spiritual power 'buzzed' spread, and a golden snake that was originally set between her bare ankles and bit each other seemed to come to life under the stimulation of this spiritual power.
Along Xiang Si's calves began to wind upwards, climbing longer and longer, and soon turned into a thin snake about a foot long, swimming to her wrist, like a gold chain, held between her palms.
In order to win Song Qingxiao's trust at this time, Xiang Si can be regarded as revealing a trace of hole cards.
The little golden snake was full of spirituality and vigorous aura, but when he raised his head and looked at Song Qingxiao, the little snake's eyes showed a humanized look of fear.
As if it had encountered a natural nemesis, it had just raised its head, and before it could 'sizzle' the letter, it was so frightened that it retracted.
Xiang Si lowered his eyelids, blocked the look in his eyes, and played with the little snake between his fingers for a moment:
"It seems to be a little scared of you."
Song Qingxiao stared at the little snake, if Xiang Si didn't take action in person, but just by making the spirit snake break the stone tablet, she could tear off a layer of cocoon skin, which was enough to prove that her little snake was capable, and it was absolutely extraordinary.
She didn't speak, but Xiangsi was a little out of breath and asked:
"Now that I know it, I've said that you really found the existence of a 'human chrysalis' in the stele?"
She stared at Song Qing tightly.
Song Qingxiao's answer at this time is not important, Xiang Si actually knows what exists in the black cocoon.
But Song Qingxiao did not speak, which is the key to whether the two can cooperate.
After a long time, Song Qing Xiaocai said:
"There is a pupa in the black cocoon, there is no spiritual breath, but there is no end to life."
Those vitality are related to the yin qi in the cocoon, she said this, took out the ice ball in the Qiankun bag, and threw it at Xiangsi:
"After the black cocoon is torn open, the human chrysalis immediately spews out a large amount of this liquid, and the effort is immediately vigorous."
When Xiang Si saw her speak, he couldn't help but breathe a big sigh of relief, and hurriedly took the things over, held them in his palm, and then studied them carefully.
"Demonic energy?" As soon as her divine sense sank into the ice ball, she immediately discovered the demonic energy in the black ball, and immediately opened her mouth in shock.
Song Qing nodded:
"Demonic energy!"
The black water spewing out of the body of this 'human chrysalis' is demonic qi, which is exactly the same as the demonic qi at the bottom of the Nine Springs.
As soon as the black water spewed out, the 'human chrysalis' inside was immediately out of breath, and Song Qing guessed that it should be at that time that Yichang discovered that something was wrong.
"I suspect that these black cocoons are condensed by the demonic energy emitted from the 'human chrysalis'."
If, according to Chu Rong, the old man who died in her hands tonight was a member of the clan in the Yulun Void Realm, then she boldly guessed that these people in the Yulun Void Realm had something strange in their bodies.
When they reach a certain age, they will probably fall into some strange half-dead state like the 'human chrysalis' in the black cocoon.
The demonic qi in the body gushed out, forming a black cocoon, which enveloped them firmly, and it could also be said to protect them firmly.
After they form a black cocoon, the people of the Yulun Realm will send them into a groove in the temple and seal them away.
These people protected by the cocoon are not really dead, they may be waiting for an opportunity to break out of the cocoon and be reborn, intending to regain their lives.
"The silk strands on the black cocoon are the same as the skirts worn by Yichang and others, and I suspect that the clothes worn by everyone wearing such a long skirt here should be woven from the black cocoons that they have been reborn."
Song Qingxiao opened her mouth to speak, and as she spoke, she took out a piece of cocoon skin cut from the black cocoon from the Qiankun bag again and threw it towards Xiangsi.
Xiang Si stretched out his hand to catch it, and at the same time hesitated slightly, and bounced the ice hockey back in the direction of Song Qingxiao.
She grabbed the puck and put it back in the bag again.
Xiang Si held this cocoon skin, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
This thing was bigger and more complete than the one she had torn off, and naturally she could see it more clearly.
The textures, feel and spiritual power fluctuations on the cocoon skin are indeed the same as the dresses worn by Yichang and others, which proves Song Qingxiao's guess.
But Xiang Si's mind at this time was not all focused on this, she had taken the skin of this black cocoon herself, and knew how hard this thing was, and it was difficult for ordinary magic weapons to break it.
What kind of magic weapon did she use to easily cut off such a large piece of cocoon skin under such circumstances, not to mention, but also separate the giant cocoon and pull out the people inside?
Xiang Si was single-minded, thinking about this in his heart, afraid of Song Qingxiao's strength, but at the same time he could be distracted to think about what she said, and replied:
"If the skirts these people wear are woven from this molted black cocoon," she paused, a shrewd look flashing in her eyes:
"In other words, these people may be members of the cocoon who have been reborn."
She said this, as if she had affirmed something:
"The difference in the number of layers of each person's dress may represent the number of times they molt and be reborn, and each time they are reborn, the black calloused skin is woven into the dress, which causes them to have more layers of skirts than others."
Xiang Si's guess coincided with Song Qingxiao, she nodded, and Xiang Si continued:
"So Yichang's skirt is the thickest, with twelve layers, which means ......"
"It's possible that he's been reborn twelve times." Song Qingxiao then finished making up what she hadn't said.
The two girls looked at each other, and they both knew it in their hearts.
No wonder Uncle Xiang's attitude towards him is not ordinary, he is respectful when he meets him, and he is not slacking off because of his slight age.
Yichang here looks the youngest, but he has the highest status, not because he is really young or noble, but because his actual age has long exceeded his real age.
Therefore, the people of the Yulun Void Realm do not judge their status and respect for their elders by their appearance, but respect the number of layers of robes.
At the same time, it also explains why, when he was at the dock dock in the evening, the old man with a white beard would call him 'third uncle' when he saw his first appearance younger than him.
Uncle Xiang strayed into the Nine Dragon Grottoes with his father and a group of rescuers, he was the only survivor, I am afraid that he inadvertently broke into the Yulun Realm, discovered a secret of the people in the Yulun Realm, and thought that he had the opportunity to live forever and rejuvenate in the future, so for decades, he worked hard for the people in the Yulun Realm, transported supplies for them, looked for girls, and did bad things!
But he was already old, so when he was at the dock, he told Lord Yichang that he was nearly seventy years old, and he wanted to ask Yichang for the grace that he promised him back then!
