Chapter 21: The Rotting Corpse

I saw that under the extremely deep layer of earth, there were piles of densely packed rotting corpses, at least seven or eight of them, most of them had already decomposed, but one of them seemed to have just begun to decompose, probably not long dead.

Most of the disciples at the scene were shocked. Even Ah Ting was stunned for a moment, because the guess was confirmed.

Seeing this, Qiu Yan knew that everything was over, and suddenly his legs became weak, and he collapsed on the ground in despair.

It took a while for the disciples to slowly react.

"This, what are these!?"

"Gross-"

"It's all dead, who is so mad."

"Can't you see it all like this? Who else could there be? ”

"No, Senior Brother Qiu Yan, he's not such a person......"

Ah Ting, who led this encounter, twisted his eyebrows and retreated behind him, but was held down by Jin Yu behind him.

Ah Ting turned his head sideways to look at him, Jin Yu leaned over, Ah Ting was slightly stunned, but the next moment, he reached out and took the Jin Cancan on her shoulder, and when he left, a strand of broken hair slid across Ah Ting's cheek, as if gently brushed by a breeze.

Ah Ting's eyes widened slightly, and the dark red in his pupils seemed to suddenly become a little more vivid.

At this time, the third elder finally came back to her senses from her stunnedness, she looked at Qiu Yan with an angry face: "What's going on!" ”

"Master, Master......" Qiu Yan was completely stunned by this sudden change.

Jiguang looked at everything in front of him, and there was anything he didn't understand, "Presumably the corpse of the mountain behind my return to Lingfeng was also thrown by your good apprentice." ”

The third elder suddenly turned his head to look at the light, but saw the other party looking at her deeply, and said indifferently: "It's better to ask the second elder to bring someone from the Law Enforcement Hall to deal with it." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yan instantly fell to the ground.

Jiguang snorted coldly and walked away, and Ah Ting hurriedly followed.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall came quickly, Ah Ting and Ji Guang had just left, and the people from the Law Enforcement Hall came on the back foot, and as soon as they saw the corpses all over the ground, they immediately escorted Qiu Yan away, and even a few Aoki Peak disciples who were good friends with him were also taken for questioning.

The three elders stood in place for a long time, not understanding how things had developed to this extent.

She was just making things difficult for a new disciple, how could she lead to so many things later? How could Jiguang really take away all the spiritual herbs of her Aoki Peak for such a slave apprentice who couldn't cultivate?

Without these spirit grasses, then her Aoki Peak's status in Longyu Mountain would plummet.

And I don't have a baby apprentice, I really lost my wife and lost my soldiers......

The results of the law enforcement hall soon came out, and the eight slaves who disappeared before all died in the hands of Qiu Yan, and after being tortured by him in every way, they were divided and thrown on the mountain behind Huiling Peak, and then because of the appearance of Ah Ting disrupted his plan, he was afraid of being exposed, so he secretly returned to Huiling Peak to transfer the body back to Aoki Peak, and then secretly buried it under the peach blossom tree in front of the door.

He was a Wood Spirit Root Monk, so it was easy to grow a new layer of grass on the ground under the peach tree, and it was almost impossible for others to tell that the peach tree had been renovated.

If it weren't for Ah Ting's dog nose being too spiritual, it is very likely that the pile of bones would slowly rot in the soil, and then the truth would have been annihilated in Aoki Peak, becoming an unsolved case in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Qiu Yan was eventually removed from Longyu Mountain and expelled from the city.

This is all for later, and Ah Ting, who left with Jiguang at this moment, quickly turned his mind away from this matter and turned to the more important things at the moment.

"Master, are you an alchemist?"

Although Ah Ting has not entered the world deeply, he also knows that in the entire Xuanling Continent, several alchemists and refiners have the highest status.

In the room, the gilded white jade alchemy furnace became much larger, quietly suspended in midair, and below the pill furnace, cyan flames rose from the palm of the light.

He threw a herb on the Dan furnace and responded, "Sort of." ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is no alchemist jade card, so it can be regarded as an amateur."

"Why is there no alchemist jade card, is it difficult to take the alchemist exam?" Arting asked.

"That's not it, I'm just too lazy to take the test, how troublesome, and I don't rely on alchemy to eat as a teacher." It is a matter of course.

Ting: "......" lazy is worthy of its reputation.

As he spoke, he didn't delay the alchemy in his hand, and he looked very relaxed.

At this time, Ah Ting also became interested in the flame in his palm, "Master, it turns out that you are the Wood Fire Twin Spirit Root?" I always thought you were a wood spirit root. "Until today, I saw the palm flame of light.

"Not really." Ji Guang said: "I am indeed a wood spirit root, but I can control the flames, so others have always thought that I am a wood fire dual spirit root." ”

Ah Ting was a little surprised, "Why?" "I've always heard that only Fire Spirit Root Cultivators can control flames, but it's the first time I've seen Wood Spirit Root like this, and it's a rare cyan flame.

Jiguang turned his head, looked at Ah Ting with a smile, and asked, "Do you know why I was able to open up the spiritual veins and break through the shackles of the slave contract?" ”

Seeing that he didn't answer his question, but instead threw out a new question, Ah Ting suddenly realized something, and asked with some surprise, "Could it be because of this cyan flame?" ”

"Not really." As he spoke, he threw the last herb into the alchemy furnace.

"Have you ever heard of the Ten Killing Formations?"

Ah Ting shook his head, "I've heard a little." ”

Ji Guang said leisurely: "The ten major killing arrays were passed down in ancient times, and now most of them have been lost, leaving only a few broken arrays, and among these remnant formations that have survived in the world, relatively speaking, the most complete is the Blue Flame Array." Legend has it that when the formation of the Blue Flame Array is complete, it is like a fire hell that reappears in the world, and the cyan flame in the formation can incinerate a small world in its heyday. ”

As he spoke, the usual laziness in his eyes was replaced by a flame of excitement.

Ah Ting's eyes widened slightly, and she only felt that she was very far away from herself for the killing array described by the light, and such a thing against the sky was like the stars in the sky, with her current mortal realm, even looking up seemed to be a luxury.

But looking at the endless cyan flames in his hand, Ah Ting vaguely felt that there was any connection between this.

Thinking about it, she asked directly, "That...... Master, what does this cyan flame have to do with the blue flame array? ”

"It doesn't matter...... he said.

Ah Ting suddenly lowered his eyes, it turned out that it didn't matter, sure enough, such an anti-heaven thing would not easily chase down the mortal dust.

However, he didn't finish his words, he paused for a moment, and then the second half of the sentence continued, "My fire is the Blue Flame Array itself. ”

Ting: "......!!!! ”

What the?

"Master, since the Blue Flame Array is a killing array, it is a figurative external object, how can it be the flame in your hand?"

Jiguang smiled, and at this time, the pill in his hand was almost finished, and he reached out and closed the lid of the gilded white jade alchemy furnace, "Okay, it's time to get the pill in an hour." ”

As soon as he turned his head, Ah Ting was still staring at him.

Jiguang turned around and walked out of the alchemy room, sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard, and then said, "I'm not joking with you. The reason why the master was able to break through the shackles of the slave contract was because I had engraved the most intact remnant of the Blue Flame Array into my veins. ”

"The slave contract is a prohibition handed down from ancient times, and the power of imprisoning the spiritual veins is extremely strong, do you really think that you can get rid of this prohibition by forging your body and taking drugs?" When he said this, the smile on his face faded a little: "If you want to get rid of the shackles of the slave contract, you can only fight poison with poison, break it and stand up." What else in this world can be more powerful than the Ten Killing Arrays? ”

Atin ...... Ardin was already completely shocked.

"Yes...... But the killing array itself is a big killing weapon, carved into the body, it is undoubtedly drinking to quench thirst, how can a mortal body bear the murderous aura of the killing array and this majestic spiritual power. Ah Ting said that even if Jiguang was her master, emotionally she wanted to believe him, but intellectually, she always felt that what Jiguang described was almost lifeless.

"It's not impossible, but we must wait until the right time, place and people gather, and then whether it is successful or not, it depends on the fate."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a bunch of illusory inscription characters emerged from his palm, and then arranged and reorganized in the air, finally forming a broken formation, and the cyan flame rose up, and fell into the bamboo forest under the control of the light.

Almost instantly, the bamboo forest with a radius of 100 meters turned to ash in an instant, and Ah Ting didn't even see the cyan flames staining the bamboo, but those bamboos disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a pile of green ash on the ground.

Ting: "......"

She couldn't express her mood at the moment, everything that happened in front of her was so incredible, and Jiguang told her with practical actions that he had indeed engraved the Blue Flame Array into his body, and the Blue Flame Array was no longer a killing array for him, he perfectly controlled the Blue Flame Array, like an arm.

This is like a miracle, but at this moment, Ah Ting can't control the fantasy that he will be able to do this one day.

But the next moment, a basin of cold water poured it on his head, he seemed to be able to guess what Ah Ting was thinking, and while withdrawing his hand, he said: "You should have guessed that the purpose of my letting you forge your body is to let you have enough physical endurance when you accept the killing array, but in fact, the so-called enough bearing capacity is just a fantasy, no matter how ordinary people forge their bodies, when they really come to that time, they can't bear the spiritual power of the killing array, and the forging body is just a drop in the bucket, this is an attempt to die for a lifetime, and if you succeed, you will be able to control the killing array from then on, and you will fail." , and it was gone. ”

Ah Ting was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "Master, being a slave who can't cultivate is better than death, and I'm not afraid to fight for this chance of nine deaths." ”

Jiguang looked at her and smiled, "Yes, you're right, so I believed from the beginning that you would definitely persevere." ”

"But don't be so pessimistic, I have my experience in the past, and I've been researching for so many years, and I've found a lot of things that can be improved.
