Chapter 230: Blood Refining
Blood, lots and lots of blood, the whole room was stained red.
Human cultivators, using special magic weapons, peel off the skin and bones of the captured spirits, and disassemble them into different parts. After the fur and nails are burned, the flesh and other parts are put in a large cauldron.
The cauldron was engraved with runes from the ancients, and the flesh and blood were not cooked, but slowly dissolved in the pot, turning into a large cauldron of boiling blood, exuding an extremely uncomfortable fishy smell.
The fox who went to inquire only saw this, and hurried away, not knowing whether he was afraid of being discovered, or if he really couldn't stand it.
After listening to the blind old fox's story, I frowned, and felt a little incredible in my heart:
"This year...... Is there such a thing? ”
Listening to the description of the blind old fox, those human cultivators should be using the flesh and blood of the spirits to carry out some kind of evil magic, which requires killing a large number of spirit monsters, or even a large number of humans.
Generally speaking, this kind of evil art thrives in troubled times when human life is not as good as grass, and no one cares about those crooked ways. And the world is a peaceful world, and there are Daomen who rule the righteous path of Shenzhou, how can there be such a stupid evil cultivator who does such a thing under the nose of Daomen.
can see the expression of the blind old fox, as well as the sad atmosphere among the spirits, it is obvious that this matter is true...... I had a faint sense of foreboding, maybe something big was going to happen in the Divine Cultivation World.
"Wait...... You're saying they started hunting spirits for sorcery two months ago? "I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, as if I had caught some clue.
The blind old fox nodded and said:
"That's true, according to the old man's investigation, the first child who was killed disappeared two months ago."
I paced through the pile of spirits, two months ago...... They were just in time.
Two months ago, almost shortly before the start of the Wudang Festival, it was also the time when the seal of 'laziness' was lifted. Are these monster hunters related to Feng Ping?
But these are just my guesses, and I still have to investigate to find out the truth, so I asked Hu Baqian where those human cultivators lived, and the blind old fox directly assigned a little fox to take me there.
The little fox doesn't look very old, but his cultivation is not weak at all, and he can already speak in his mouth, at least a hundred years of Taoism. Hu Baqian sent such a little fox to me, and it is difficult to say that there is no other intention in it.
The little fox led me out of the abandoned factory, and finally to the outskirts, where there were several small bungalows, and the big iron doors were locked from the inside.
"This is it, those human cultivators live in it, and I can smell the blood of the same kind here."
The little fox timidly pointed to one of the bungalows, and then hurriedly hid behind me, apparently terrified of the people inside.
I touched its head, soothed it, and told it to wait in the woods not far away, while I myself crept closer to the house.
Sure enough, as the little fox said, as soon as he got closer, he smelled a bloody breath that could not be dissolved, and there was an extremely uncomfortable feeling, it seemed that some kind of evil magic ritual might really be carried out inside.
As soon as I approached the gate, the two small trees next to me were moving without wind, and the leaves rustled, so I quickly stopped, observed them, and laughed:
"There is actually a guardian formation, which is interesting and interesting. The array is a good array, which can trap people and warn people, but I don't know what is going on inside! ”
I stretched out the independent space created by the Heavenly Chain, as long as I paid a little attention, even the mountain protection arrays of some medium-sized sects would not want to stop me, let alone such a small formation that was unpresiding.
I swaggered in, the formation seemed to be out of order, and there was no sign of being triggered at all.
It was late at night, and everyone in the house was asleep, and their shallow snoring could be heard, and there should be three people living here. Judging from the length of their breathing, these three people were all in the mage realm, and they were not weak.
I crept into the room, without waking them, and followed the smell of blood to the west chamber, where there were many iron basins, and several huge iron buckets, all of which were tightly covered with cowhide.
I gently uncovered the cowhide, and after cultivating to the Archmage, I could see things at night even if I didn't use my True Qi, so I could clearly see the contents of the basin and the iron bucket.
Red! In the basin, in the bucket, there is red of flesh everywhere!
The basin contained skinned foxes and yellow-skinned lumps of flesh, steaming hot, some still twitching, apparently not yet dead; And inside the bucket was slimy blood, whether the blood was bubbling up, or an unwilling eyeball, or a scrap of meat that had not completely melted.
"Vomit...... Not! ”
Even I, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but retch when I saw this, and quickly covered my mouth so as not to wake up the three people.
I put the cowhide back and ran outside to catch my breath, for whatever reason these people had, it was not unjust for them to do such a cruel thing.
I left the house and went to find the little fox in the nearby woods and told him what was inside. After hearing this, the little fox was relieved:
"Is there an iron basin and an iron bucket in the room in the west wing, it seems that the situation is much better."
"When we came before, the west chamber, the barn, and the hut behind it were almost all full of basins and buckets, and there were furs and flesh everywhere...... Seeing that the situation was urgent, the eighth master gathered all the clans together, which prevented more of the same clan from being arrested. ”
"But they haven't caught us for many days, so I guess they're going to do it again......"
I sighed, comforted the little fox for a while, and then let it go back on its own. I'm going to enter this house, which is full of the corpses of its kind, and possibly fight the three of them...... It's really not good to follow.
I blew the cold wind in the woods outside all night, watched the moon all night, and it was not until the sun rose in the east that the bloody picture in my mind slowly faded, and finally I felt less disgusting.
Standing up and patting the dew off my body, I dived into the house again...... The snoring sounded, and the three should have woken up.
Listening to the footsteps, they went to the West Chamber, and I cautiously leaned out of the window and watched the situation inside.
I saw them yawning as they uncovered the cowhide, pasted the meat balls in the basin with talismans and poured them into the bucket, poured some potions into the bucket, and then pinched the mantra together.
The incantation they recited was a hodgepodge, with the scriptures of the Daomen, the Gu techniques of Miao Jiang, and it seemed to have a little bit of the secret method of suppressing evil people...... With the incantation's thoughts, the still trembling lumps of flesh exploded into the bucket like water balloons, turning into blood.
"Yawn~ Lao Zhang, how many brutes have we caught, it should be enough, right?"
"Enough? How can there be enough! The boss said: the more the merrier, and continue to catch it later. ”
"This time, we were given a baby, and it would be much easier to catch those beasts."
As they spoke, I had already entered the house......
