Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hall of Ten Thousand Corpses
Xiao Ying, as a mortal, has seen such a terrifying scene there, only to see that standing in front of her at this time is a six-foot-tall humanoid monster, through his distorted facial features, he can barely guess that he should have been a human before, but his bloody mouth and scarlet eyes dripping with blood make him look more like a demon beast!
Just as the monster's outstretched blood claw was about to touch Xiao Ying's face, Ye Xiu's clear voice suddenly sounded from behind him:
"It seems that my luck is good this time! I originally thought it was a few thieves making trouble, but I didn't expect to find an evil cultivator. ”
After hearing Ye Xiu's sudden words, the monster couldn't help but be startled, and he didn't care about the movements in his hand, and immediately turned around to look at Ye Xiu who appeared behind him at some point.
"Who are you to know that I am an evil cultivator?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that you're going to be a dead man soon!"
Under the moonlight, Ye Xiu looked at the evil cultivator and said coldly:
"What a big breath! Take me first--Red Bloody Hand!"
After hearing this, the evil cultivator was immediately furious, and immediately threw himself at Ye Xiu with a loud shout.
It's a pity that the blow he was originally proud of, in front of Ye Xiu, it was like a joke, Ye Xiu just raised his hand and grabbed it casually, and the huge body of the evil cultivator was frozen in the air.
The latter looked at Ye Xiu incredulously and exclaimed:
"This is impossible! I have already reached the third-grade Daoist realm after swallowing the Corpse Demon Pill, and my red blood hand is the high-level Dao technique of the Ten Thousand Corpse Palace, how could I be defeated in your hands so easily!"
Ye Xiu originally planned to end him up like this, but after hearing his words at this time, he immediately changed his mind, because he mentioned the word "Ten Thousand Corpses Palace", which couldn't help but make Ye Xiu recall the ghost Dao people he had seen in Liuyun Country before.
This person once mentioned that the force behind him is called the Hall of Ten Thousand Corpses, so it seems that the half-human, half-corpse monster in front of him also came from there, no wonder he will have a sense of déjà vu after seeing him.
If this was really the case, maybe he could find a trace of ghost Taoist news from his mouth, so Ye Xiu released the spiritual pressure of his second-grade Daoist realm, and slightly increased the strength of the crane and dragon in his hand, and suddenly the evil cultivator wailed in horror under the double pressure of spiritual pressure and spiritual power:
"Ah, the seniors spared their lives! It's all strange that the kid has no eyes, but I don't know that the seniors are actually masters of the Taoist realm, and they offended the seniors..."
After Ye Xiu heard his plea for mercy, he immediately restrained his strength slightly, and said with a smile:
"It's not impossible for me to spare you, but it depends on your performance, whether you can satisfy me!"
As soon as the evil cultivator heard that there was a play, he hurriedly shouted as if he had grasped a life-saving straw:
No matter what the seniors ask, the small ones will definitely satisfy the seniors!"
"Okay, then you answer my first question first. ”
Ye Xiu's right hand was raised slightly, and he shook it in the air in a posture of one, and then continued:
"What kind of force is the Hall of Ten Thousand Corpses you just mentioned?"
When the man heard Ye Xiu mention the Hall of Ten Thousand Corpses, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of fear, but he gritted his teeth and continued:
"I don't know if my predecessors have heard of the chaos of the evil cultivators in the White Tiger Domain some time ago, in fact, it was controlled by the Ten Thousand Corpses Palace, and the little me was actually forced to take the Corpse Demon Pill not long ago, so I had to join the Ten Thousand Corpses Palace, and I was in the Ten Thousand Corpses Palace, just a dispensable little minion, I don't know the details of the Ten Thousand Corpses Hall at all, I only know that its power is very large, and it may even surpass the four major sects of the White Tiger Domain!"
"What? More than the four major sects? Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"
Ye Xiu asked in disbelief.
"Small... How dare the little one talk nonsense in front of his seniors, this is what I heard from the banner master who was responsible for contacting me above, even the last White Tiger Domain evil cultivation chaos was just a small action carried out by the Ten Thousand Corpses Hall in order to do experiments!"
The evil cultivator was afraid that Ye Xiu would not believe it, so he hurriedly explained.
Ye Xiu listened to his words, and after a little hesitation, he continued to ask:
"Well, what did you just say about the flag master who contacted you?"
The evil cultivator hurriedly replied:
"Oh, senior, don't you know, this Ten Thousand Corpses Hall has a very strict hierarchy, from low to high, it is divided into ordinary halls, flag masters, hall masters, helmsman masters, and the highest hall masters. And the person in charge of contacting me is called the Ghost Daoist, and he is the new banner master of the Ten Thousand Corpses Hall in this area. ”
When Ye Xiu heard the words "Ghost Daoist", his sharp eyes froze, and the evil cultivator trembled in fright, but he heard Ye Xiu continue to ask coldly:
"You said that the new banner master is called a ghost man?"
When the evil cultivator heard the other party's reaction, it was not because he said the wrong thing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time hurriedly replied:
"Yes! It is indeed called a ghost Taoist, this person took office half a year ago, and like you, he is also a cultivator of the Taoist realm, and he is also very good at alchemy, this corpse demon pill of mine, I heard that it came from his hand. ”
When Ye Xiu heard that the new flag master in the other party's mouth was really the ghost Daoist he was looking for, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, because when he was in Liuyun Country before, he suspected that this ghost Daoist was the outcast mentioned by Master Murong, and the night before the accident in Dongcheng, Master Murong disappeared mysteriously, and I am afraid that the ghost Daoist will definitely not be able to get out of the relationship.
Master Murong treats himself well, and almost teaches him all the Dan Dao he usually learns, at this time his life and death are uncertain, he must not stand idly by, if he can find the ghost Dao person, maybe he can find the clues of his master!
So Ye Xiu nodded deliberately and said:
"Well, you're doing a great job, so do you know how to find this ghost?"
It's just that the evil cultivator is obviously also anxious, and when he heard Ye Xiu's question at this time, he didn't answer as well as before, but looked at Ye Xiu slyly:
"Senior, the villain does know how to find the ghost Taoist, let me say it's okay, but the senior has to promise me first, and then let me live, otherwise, I won't say it anyway. ”
Anyway, Ye Xiu didn't want to kill him before confirming whether what he said was true or false, so he simply replied:
"Okay, I promise you, as long as you tell me the truth, how can I find the ghost man, I will let you go today. ”
After hearing Ye Xiu's promise, the evil cultivator was obviously relieved, because the promise said by the righteous path monk in the cultivation world would generally be kept, otherwise it would affect their cultivation heart, he deduced that this Ye Xiu in front of him, since he would come to save a little girl who had nothing to do with him, it meant that the other party should be a righteous path monk, so he told Ye Xiu how to find the ghost path person...
After hearing this, Ye Xiu also let him live as promised, but when he was leaving, he secretly left a mark on him, and after the evil cultivator walked away, Ye Xiu returned to the town with Xiao Ying, who had already been stunned by his means.
During this period, the shopkeeper Zhang wanted to give Ye Xiu the three spirit stones he had accumulated many times, but they were all politely rejected by Ye Xiu, and finally under his strong insistence, Ye Xiu's rent was exempted, and he was a little relieved, and the little girl Xiaoying cooked in person and made a good dish for her life-saving benefactor Ye Xiu...
The next day, Ye Xiu said goodbye to the Zhang family's father and daughter, and came to the nearest city to Donglai Town-Baiyucheng.
This white jade city is named because it is rich in a kind of jade called white jade, it is a small city with a population of one million, and the reason why Ye Xiu came here is because this is the place where the evil cultivator mentioned last night can find ghost people.
According to the evil cultivator, the Corpse Demon Pill they took had a very serious drawback, that is, with the passage of time, the user's consciousness would gradually lose their mind, and only by taking a pill called Qingming Pill on a regular basis could this side effect be suppressed.
Therefore, every three months, these low-level hall members who have taken the Corpse Demon Pill need to go to the banner master to gather once to receive the Qingming Pill, and at this time, the so-called banner master, in addition to distributing the Qingming Pill, will also use this to announce some decisions of the high-level leaders of the Ten Thousand Corpse Palace, or arrange some tasks for them, etc...
And the place where the Hall of Ten Thousand Corpses met in the White Jade City was also very secret, it was a mansion that looked abandoned for a long time, according to the evil cultivator, the ghost Taoist acted very cunningly, and only appeared there on the day of the meeting, and at other times, no one knew his whereabouts.
Ye Xiu calculated the time, and at this time, there was less than a month left before the next gathering in the Hall of Ten Thousand Corpses, so he decided to stay in Baiyun City temporarily, while waiting, waiting for the opportunity to find some other clues.
As soon as he entered the White Jade City, Ye Xiu felt that his eyes were bright, because the buildings in the White Jade City, whether it was streets or houses, were all made of white jade, and under the illumination of the day, it gave people a sense of magnificence.
Walking on the streets with a shuttling flow of people, Ye Xiu was also surprised to find that the earth aura here was more than twice as strong as that outside the city, and there were obviously many more earth monks on the streets here than in other places, which couldn't help but make Ye Xiu feel surprised again.
