Chapter 16: The Corpse Claw of the Shadow
Dong Xuan sat there stiff, his face still looking like a smug and surprised expression, and his eyes changed back to dead fish eyes. At this moment, he was in the most serious state of rigidity, and I didn't hesitate for a second, withdrew my aura, pulled out the small stinger dagger on my waist, and stabbed at his dantian.
I was lying on the ground, and the angle was just stabbing at his dantian, and the dantian was the main center of the true qi of a cultivator, and if I was hit hard, my true qi would be completely lost, which was the most important place.
This little dagger is made from the tail thorn of a five-step snake demon, and the masculine poison it contains has an immediate effect on zombies, and can easily break into the body of hard zombies. This time was no exception, with a "poof" sound like entering the rotten wood, the dagger was completely submerged, and at the same time, I destroyed the aura with all my strength, forcing the positive poison on the dagger into the cave void body.
The cave void can still move, but it suddenly turns into a zombie body and slows down, and the unexpected change also stunned him. He looked down at Xiangxia, I had already drawn the dagger, and a large amount of black gas and a small amount of black blood sprayed out from the wound.
"Whew......"
The cave let out a strange cry that didn't look like a human at all, and stretched out its claws to grab me, and I was already rolling out, jumping up and running out of the stone as fast as I could.
There was no void grip from behind, the dantian was punctured, he was like a balloon pierced with a hole, the true qi could no longer be lifted, and when he used the true qi, the toxicity attacked faster.
The cave monster screamed and chased after me, but his footsteps were heavy and heavy, where could he catch up with me? I looked back, the wound on his abdomen seemed to have been burned by a high temperature, and it expanded rapidly, the bigger the wound, the more black gas and black blood spurted out, and the more the black gas dissipated, the weaker he became. At this time, ninety percent of his true qi was transformed into corpse qi and yin qi, and it was actually his cultivation that the yang poison dissolved!
Dong Xuan chased more and more slowly, and after chasing only ten meters, he stopped, fell to the ground and roared, his whole body was emitting black gas and convulsions, because of the use of true qi and running, the yang poison had spread to his whole body. His flesh was rotting and festering at a visible rate, like a rotting corpse that had been burned with fire, and the stench was unbearable.
His heart and part of his organs are **, which are not affected by yang poison, so he didn't die so quickly, rolling back and forth on the ground, struggling. Even though I knew that he was an evil and perverted person, I couldn't bear it, so I picked up the katana and cut off his head to give him a hard time.
Once again, I've come back from the Ghost Gate, but alas, the Stinger Dagger's poison is almost completely depleted.
As soon as Dong Xuan died, the spell he cast on Xiaoxue was automatically lifted, Xiaoxue flew out, threw herself into my arms and cried, I hugged her and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm hard, I can't die......"
I suddenly realized that hugging her was like hugging a real person, and it was not entirely false. I've never embraced her spirit in reality, and now I know that her spirit has such a real feeling—in fact, I should have thought that if her spirit was not strong enough, how could she hold a rope and light a match?
"Childe, are you alright?" Xiaoxue left my body with a concerned expression, and then showed a look of uneasiness, "Your aura seems to be a little different, there is corpse qi." ”
I looked inward, and sure enough, I found that the yin qi in the yin and yang qi was slightly different, and it seemed to have a cold and dead breath. Is it really stained with corpse gas? I was a little nervous, so I hurriedly walked to a place far away from the cave, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted my spiritual energy to travel through the twelve canons and refine my spiritual energy.
The aura traveled in the meridians over and over again, and I fused and separated the two auras of yin and yang, and the yin and yang reversed and swapped, but that kind of cold and dead aura still existed. I'm not sure if this dead qi was contaminated by my aura in the cave void body, or if the true qi of the cave void was filtered in my body for a long time, but fortunately there was no adverse effect on me, at least no adverse effects were found so far.
I wasn't going to enter the stinky stone chamber in Dongxu again, but Xiaoxue said that there were some handwriting carved on the stone wall where she was just staying, like martial arts or spells, so I went in again to have a look. Sure enough, there were many thumb-sized words carved into the stone wall in the corner, because there was already dust and moss, and the light was not good, so I didn't notice it before.
I scraped off the moss and dirt with a knife, took out the Night Pearl and took a closer look, some places were larger seal characters, and some places were smaller traditional characters, and the style was completely different.
I first look at the traditional Chinese part, the language is quite obscure, but barely understandable, to the effect that Dong Xuan has made a lot of contributions to the Xuan Ming Sect but has not received due attention, and then became half-dead and no one pays attention to it, he is very unwilling, and the words reveal a great dissatisfaction with the rebellious feelings. Then there are some unique insights and experiences of his own teachings, and he also created a kind of Xuanyin corpse claw between spells and martial arts, which can stretch and stretch freely to grasp objects in the void, and can break through the true qi of the body protection when attacking, and it also has terrifying corpse poison......
I was curious for a moment, so I continued to look down and read the relevant mental methods and the route of the breath. After reading it, I remembered that such a vicious exercise could not be learned, but seventy or eighty percent of them had already memorized and understood. I was a little annoyed, but Xiaoxue smiled and said: "Spells and martial arts are not guilty, or look at the people who apply them, why not use them to kill the people who should be killed?" Your aura seems to have corpse qi in it, so you might be able to use this Xuanyin corpse claw. ”
This is a very reasonable statement, and if we can learn it, will it not be happy to use it against those who have committed the most heinous crimes in the future? So I read it again and pondered it in my mind for a while. The Xuanyin Corpse Claw is a martial arts-based spell that requires a strong internal qi as a foundation to make it more powerful through a specific mental technique. In fact, this kind of exercise is not the first or exclusive possession of Dong Xu, Lu Chengshan's Split Wind Palm also belongs to this category, but in terms of Yin ruthlessness and viciousness, the Gale Wind Palm is far inferior to the Xuanyin Corpse Claw, although Dong Xuan is arrogant, he is really a talent.
I can only recognize part of the seal characters, but Xiaoxue can know them all, and she reads them to me. This is a method of refining internal strength, called the Xuanming Sutra, which is the general outline of the exercises of the Xuanming Sect, but it is very esoteric and difficult to understand, and it is incomplete. It is absolutely impossible for me to change my practice to other exercises, and I don't have great sentiments to spread and carry forward this somewhat evil exercise, so after listening to some of it, I told Xiaoxue not to read it.
I found a stone and smashed the key part of the Xuanyin corpse claw, this kind of exercise is too yin and vicious, and together with the Xuanyin True Scripture, it must cultivate an evil demon, and it can't be kept. As for the Xuanming Sutra, it belongs to the method of cultivating the truth in the side door, and it is not evil in itself.
As I was about to go out, my eyes fell on the parcel of the stone platform, I hated the hole, and I was disgusted with his things, but what if the jade talisman I was looking for was inside? After hesitating for a moment, he opened the almost half-decayed cloth bag, which contained pen, ink, paper, inkstone, soul summoning bell, small gong, flint fire sickle, small flag laughing and the like, and a small iron box, all of which were seriously decayed and corroded, probably three hundred years ago, when Dongxu walked the rivers and lakes, right? No matter what kind of treasure it was back then, it's garbage now.
The iron box was about a foot long and wide, and about eight inches high, and it could be completely put into the jade talisman. I used the tip of my knife to pry open the rusty little lock, and then pry the top cover open. The moment the lid opened, I sensed a strong yin qi overflowing, which was the breath that belonged to very powerful ghosts.
"Hey, there's a ghost in there!" Xiaoxue let out a low sigh.
There is also a wooden box inside the iron box, and there are sigils on the wooden box, but a gloomy and ferocious aura is forced through the wooden box, I have never encountered such a fierce ghost. Xiaoxue had already seen the contents through the wooden box, which was a "soul detention order" that was less than the size of a palm, a magic weapon used to raise ghosts.
I frowned secretly, destroy it, I have no grievances with it, a little unreasonable; Let's not destroy it, if such a fierce spirit escapes, it will hurt a lot of people. I don't have time to deal with this now, so it's better to put it away first, and when the compass arrives, see if he can overtake it, so I closed the iron box again and asked Xiaoxue to put it in the Qiankun bag.
I continued to explore along the cave, and there were only two empty stone chambers in front of me, and the iron corpse that had run in before was nowhere to go. Saving people is like fighting fire, I can't linger here too much, immediately return to the big cave and explore other caves.
The Xuanming Sect may have been operating here for hundreds or even thousands of years, so the terrain here is complex and fully functional. Refining zombies and raising ghosts is just an auxiliary means for the people of the Xuanming Sect to practice and fight, and they also have a normal life, with bedrooms, kitchens, and toilets all available, and clever use of some air vents and underground water to discharge smoke and filth to the outside.
After a long time, I didn't find Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei, and I didn't encounter an attack, I really can't figure it out, what is the purpose of the enemy to capture Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei? weishenme let me run around in here, and there is no chance to kill me?
As I walked around, I was figuring out how to use the Xuanyin Corpse Claw. Because this exercise created by Dong Xuan is based on the Xuan Ming True Qi and the body of half a zombie, I am a normal person, and the aura is obviously different from the Xuan Ming True Qi, so I can't play it normally. But others can create their own tricks, and I can't modify this line on the basis of him? Even if I draw a scoop according to the gourd, I will get it out too!
Entering the sixth cave, I didn't go far before I found a stone gate with a large brass ring on top of the stone gate that looked like an eyesore. I carefully pulled the copper ring, there was no movement, and then I pushed it still did not move, and tried to turn it clockwise, and the stone door "rumbled" to the side, revealing most of the passage.
As soon as the stone door opened, the evil aura came to the face, and there was a faint smell of blood. I'm secretly frightened, I should have found the key place this time, but what is the scary thing ahead?
This cave has been tilting Xiangxia, and the further down the space becomes, it no longer looks like a cave, but a huge irregular underground space, and stone steps spiral along a stone wall Xiangxia.
Although there are some glowstones for lighting along the way, I can't see clearly because the space is too large. The further down you go, the more bloody it becomes, as if a massacre had just been carried out nearby. At the same time, the yin qi is also very heavy, and the cold feeling has exceeded the depths of the cold cave of Yunding Mountain, and that evil aura is even more than that of the cold cave.
