Bai Ling had already seen the white ice worm, so he was not too surprised by the scene in front of him, but he still inevitably felt nauseous.

Seeing that Haitang was about to approach the coffin, Bai Ling stretched out his hand to stop her from stepping forward.

"A few elders, these insects, but the secret technique of preserving the corpse from decay?" Bai Ling asked pretending not to understand.

"It's not." The Great Elder shook his head, the look of shock in his eyes faded, but there was a raging fire, "Young Valley Lord, there are some things that should be known to you, and it's no wonder that we didn't think of them before." ”

Bai Ling took a moment to wait for the Great Elder to tell the secret.

"All the disciples go back to the bottom of the mountain, and there is no need to check the mountain today." The Great Elder ordered the disciples to leave first.

"Begonia, you can go back too." Knowing the secrecy of the matter, Bai Ling let Haitang leave.

Although worried about Bai Ling's safety, Haitang also knew that it was impossible for her to stay, so she left with the group of disciples.

Several elders stood in front of the coffin, all of them with solemn faces, and their anger was nowhere to vent.

"The Valley of the Medicine King was established hundreds of years ago, and the owner of the valley once left a codex, which recorded not medical opinions, but a poison researched by the brother of the master. And the primer of the poison came from the incorruptible corpse in the ice. The Great Elder spoke bitterly of what he knew.

The first Medicine King Valley Lord, who had a twin brother.

The valley lord is more of a physician, while his younger brother is fond of studying poison.

At that time, the brothers had a very good relationship, and they would learn from each other after they had experience.

And medicine and poison are not separated, and when they encounter the same thing, the brothers will use their respective skills to study, and naturally they will learn from each other's methods.

Until one day, the younger brother excitedly told the elder brother that he had found several white ice worms in the freeze, and they were extremely poisonous.

At that time, the valley owner didn't take it to heart, after all, the world is full of poisons, but he was afraid that something would happen to his younger brother, so he studied it with him.

Later, after the poison was developed, one of the disciples accidentally ingested it, and his body began to change and he lost his consciousness.

Unlike his younger brother's excitement, the valley lord tried to find a way to develop an antidote.

However, before the antidote was made, it was discovered that the younger brother had secretly put the remaining poison on living people for experiments, and the brothers had a big quarrel about it.

In order not to let innocent people be harmed, the valley owner put his younger brother under house arrest, but he didn't want his younger brother to escape, and even took one of the poisonous people away.

No matter how much the valley lord searched, he never found any trace of his younger brother, and he did not make an antidote until he died.

However, the poisoner has been poisoned for too long, has been eroded by the toxin, has become a fool, and his body functions have been damaged, and his life is short.

Fearing that such a thing would happen again, the valley lord wrote down the secret matter in the codex and passed it on only to the next valley lord, and the elders would not know about it until they had served as elders for at least twenty years.

At that time, the valley lord had ordered people to destroy all the corpses and ice insects in the ice cave, and also expelled his younger brother from the Medicine King Valley.

The old man didn't expect that after hundreds of years, there would still be people with this poison prescription. Whether it is the descendant of that person, or the recipe obtained by chance, there is no way to find out. The Great Elder looked at the coffin of the first Valley Lord responsibly, "How the ice worm is cultivated, the Valley Lord's codex does not mention it, and I think I am afraid that the juniors will do wrong things for various reasons." ”

"Since the first valley lord knows that the prerequisite for the cultivation of ice worms is the corpse that does not decay in the ice cave, why should the corpses of the previous valley masters be preserved?" Bai Ling asked suspiciously.

If Medicine King Valley didn't have this rule, maybe there wouldn't be ice worms here.

"In order to save the lives of his disciples, the lord of the first valley tried poison and died. The disciples were grateful for the kindness of the valley lord and insisted on keeping the body of the former valley lord as a sign of respect. Later, it became a rule, and it was also to remind the previous valley masters that the lives of the disciples of the Medicine King Valley were more important than themselves. The Great Elder replied.

Bai Ling was speechless, such an explanation is reasonable, but it leaves a great hidden danger.

At that time, the disciples may not have known about the hidden dangers that might exist in keeping the body, but the young valley master at that time knew about it, and finally agreed to keep his body, which is really a bit strange.

"In this way, if you want to breed ice worms, you must meet two conditions. One is an extremely cold place, and the other is an incorruptible corpse. Bai Ling fell into deep thought.

In fact, such conditions are not unique to the Medicine King Valley.

Even in the outside world, there are glaciers, and almost no one goes there.

If you only have these two conditions, you can raise ice worms, wouldn't there be a lot of ice worms?

Several elders also didn't speak, their understanding of the ice worm was limited to what was mentioned in the codex, and they couldn't give Bai Ling any advice, but they all felt that these two conditions were not enough.

Otherwise, why did that person and his descendants have to breed ice worms in the Medicine King Valley?

Even though this ice cave is rarely entered, it is much easier to find than the ice valleys outside.

Unable to figure out the trick, Bai Ling didn't want to continue to suffer from freezing here, so he asked: "Elders, the most important thing at the moment is not to know the living conditions of ice insects, after all, everyone has no intention of breeding ice insects. And the corpses of your valley lords have been considered destroyed and have become a nest of insects, what do you think should be done with this matter? ”

Several elders looked embarrassed, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Fang Cai had already examined all the corpses, and he had already checked that someone had done something to him.

The medicine used by the Medicine King Valley to preserve the corpse, although it contained toxins, was not to the point where it could raise ice worms.

After all, the corpse has been stored for many years, unlike the living, it can also detoxify, and burning it is undoubtedly the best way, and it can also prevent future troubles.

But these corpses are all valley masters of the past generations, and any decision made by several elders must be carefully considered, and the consent of the valley master and the disciples of the whole valley is required.

"There are no secret passages found in the ice cave, and the people who enter and exit here should have come from the direction of Siguo Cliff. Since I don't know what to do for the time being, I suggest that the cliff be sealed off to prevent anyone from entering. Bai Ling suggested.

If it weren't for Shang Lao's thoughts, Bai Ling would have wanted to set a fire now and have a simple one.

In fact, Bai Ling regretted it at this moment, when he found Ao Xue that day, he should have burned all the corpses, instead of staying here and waiting to be discovered.

It's just that Bai Ling didn't expect Ao Xue to burn down the underground palace, and planned to keep this place as evidence, but now it has become the biggest source of danger.

"For the sake of today, we can only do this first." The Great Elder agreed, and the other elders naturally had no objections.

"These ice worms ......" The fourth elder glanced at the coffin and said hesitantly, "But you have to deal with it?" ”

"Ice worms must be removed." Bai Ling stepped forward, took out a medicine bottle, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound.

This is Bai Ling's newly made medicinal powder, I saw that after the insects were stained with the medicinal powder, they were writhing wildly, and the originally crystal clear insects turned blood red, and finally became the same eye color as those poisonous blood, and the insect body was constantly getting bigger.

"Be careful!" Bai Ling let out a startled cry and immediately covered himself with his cloak and squatted on the ground to make sure that no flesh and skin would be exposed.

Several elders acted in the same way as Bai Ling for the first time, and as soon as they protected themselves, they heard the sound of insects exploding.
