"Everybody's got it, right? What do you think of this? Lu Feng asked.

"What else can happen, it must be that the previous groups of people died here, and the smell of blood here is so strong, we should find out the reason immediately." Guo Kaifeng said.

Mi Ling said: "I don't think it should be, the first few batches of people have been dead for several months, even if the smell of blood was left here before, it should be almost dispersed at this time, but the smell here doesn't seem to be dispersed at all, which makes people can't figure it out." ”

"We're all here, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, just go and see." Guo Kaifeng's opinion was still so simple and direct, and he was the first to step forward.

The entire underground palace is underground, this stone hall is pitch black, you can't see your five fingers, everyone can only rely on the divine mind to observe a small area nearby, just like ordinary people holding a lantern in the night, can only see a small area around clearly. And because of the influence of strength, the divine mind can't be used all the time, and it's not easy to find out the entire stone hall.

Everyone walked forward with difficulty, and suddenly, they heard Guo Kaifeng shouting: "There is a pool here, and the smell of blood seems to be emitted from here." ”

Could it be that we have found the source of the problem? Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to the edge of the pool that Guo Kaifeng said.

Not far in front of them, there was a stone masonry pool several feet wide, not large, but it was filled with a red liquid, and it smelled of blood. Needless to say, the smell of blood in the entire stone hall must have emanated from here.

Qingyang lowered his head and took a closer look, the red liquid in the pool should be blood, otherwise, it would not be possible to have such a big smell of blood here, as for whether this blood is human blood or beast blood, it is difficult to distinguish. With such a large blood pool, the amount of blood needed is quite a lot, even if it is filled with animal blood, ordinary people can't do it.

As a monk, I have experienced many life and death vendettas before, and I have also seen many tragic situations of the dead, but suddenly seeing this pool full of blood, there are still many people who can't stand it.

Looking further ahead, there seemed to be a mist in the middle of the pool, through which a plant could be faintly seen. Qingyang made it again and again, and saw that it seemed to be a lotus root, and the rhizome was deep into the pool of blood, with two yellow lotus leaves and a lotus pod growing on it.

There are a total of seven lotus seeds on the lotus pod, and the whole lotus pod has begun to turn yellow and wither, and the lotus seeds have gradually separated from the whole lotus pod, and they are almost ripe. It's just that the lotus root that grows in this kind of place, the lotus seeds on it are terrible red, and I don't know if it's good or bad.

Lu Feng looked at the lotus root in the blood pool, turned his head and asked, "Senior Brother Chen, can you recognize what the lotus root in this pool is?" ”

After all, Lu Feng was younger, and he was not as good as Chen Biwang in some knowledge, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with what this lotus root was, so he had to ask Chen Biwang.

Before Chen Biwang could answer, Guo Kaifeng said first: "The lotus root that grows in such an evil place and is watered with blood is definitely not a good thing. ”

Guo Kaifeng's words were not echoed by everyone, Chen Biwang pinched his beard and thought for a long time before he wondered: "Could it be the legendary blood lotus root in this pool?" ”

"What is a Blood Lotus Root?" Lu Dingshan asked.

At this time, Qingyang next to him said: "The blood lotus root is a long-lost spiritual thing in my Kyushu continent, it is said to grow in the blood pool, all by absorbing the essence of the blood and growing, it can only mature in a hundred years, one plant only bears seven sons, the lotus seeds are as red as pearls, and the scene in front of you is very consistent." ”

Seeing that what Qingyang said was the Tao, Lu Feng was a little interested and asked, "Seeing that Qingyang Daoist is young, how can he know so much about such a strange thing as a blood lotus root?" ”

Qingyang said: "When I was in Qingfeng Palace, I liked alchemy, and I spent a lot of time consulting various classics, and I was involved in many strange spiritual objects. ”

Listening to Qingyang's words, Lu Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he arched his hand and said, "It turns out that Qingyang Daoyou is still an alchemist, it's really disrespectful." ”

Among so many people present, Qingyang's cultivation is not very high, but his age is the lowest among all of them, and his future achievements may not be smaller than Lu Feng and Chen Biwang, so no one underestimated him, and they all regarded him as a companion who advanced and retreated together.

However, at this time, they found that they still underestimated this young man, who had not only cultivated to the third level of qi refining at a young age, but was also a Dan Master who was respected by everyone. The Danshu has been successful, the cultivation has not been delayed, and more importantly, he is still young, which is too powerful, Lu Feng has seen many young talents, but compared with Qingyang, they are all inferior.

Not only Lu Feng, but the other three scattered cultivators from Yongzhou were also impressed, if Qingyang was only better than himself in terms of cultivation, they would not be convinced, because with the backing of the Seven Great Immortal Sects, if they had a little qualification, their achievements would not be too bad. But when it comes to Danshu, it's not easy, no talent, no hard work, and you will never have this achievement at a young age.

Lu Dingshan had long known that Qingyang would be able to refine pills, and he was not surprised by Qingyang's words, but continued to ask: "What's the use of holding the blood lotus root?" He grew up in such an evil place, watered with blood, and the lotus seeds that grew should be also evil, right? ”

Qingyang shook his head and said, "On the contrary, Senior Brother Lu, have you ever heard of the saying that out of the mud is not stained with clear ripples without demons?" ”

Lu Dingshan shook his head, he was born in a butcher's family, how could he have learned any poetry? It was only after coming into contact with the cultivation of immortals that he learned some words more or less, and he didn't seek to understand it. Mi Ling next to her interjected: "I seem to have heard of it, this seems to be a sentence praising the lotus, as if to say that the lotus is in the mud but is not polluted, the character is noble, and the flow is not dirty." ”

Qingyang nodded and said, "That's what it means, although this blood lotus root is planted in the dirty blood and absorbs the blood essence to grow, but the lotus seeds and lotus roots are all good things, which are extremely useful to my generation of monks, and there is no trace of evil." ”

After listening to Qingyang's words, everyone suddenly realized, Guo Kaifeng couldn't help but ask: "I see, then what is the use of this lotus seed and lotus root for monks?" ”

At this time, Chen Biwang spoke: "According to the classics, the lotus seeds of this blood lotus root are the treasures of the monks to exercise their minds, and after taking them, they cool the body and mind, suppress evil spirits, and exercise the mind, which is very suitable for monks who quickly improve their cultivation." As for the blood lotus root, it is a rare treasure, the blood lotus root grows in the dirty blood, absorbs a large amount of blood essence, and is said to greatly replenish qi and blood and increase lifespan. ”
