Chapter Forty-Nine: Gu Worms

Yan Xin watched Elder Yin's body slowly fall to the ground, regaining a trace of calm, but there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Tianyi looked at Yan Xin's side face, and there was a trace of worry in his heart. But I didn't say anything, so it was better to evacuate quickly.

Not long after the people ran forward, they suddenly felt a vibration on the ground. Tianyi felt that the source was in the direction of Qingxu Cave, and couldn't help but stop and look back, but his gaze was blocked by mountains and rocks. I could only faintly hear countless screams coming from the clear void cave, like purgatory on earth.

Above the sky, a white-haired, but seemingly only forty-something-year-old Taoist priest and a scholar with a piano were fighting. The Taoist priest took a ring ruler to make him superb. Tianyi saw the ring ruler and recognized this person, who was the head of the Qingxu Cave. At this moment, the Dao Xuan real person is on par with the scholar who holds the piano.

"It's so far away, you can still hear it, it must be very tragic in the Qingxu Cave!" Zi Xiao said lightly, but he didn't see any mercy in his pair of purple eyes.

"I hope that Daowu and Mr. Treacherous will escape this fate. Tianyi thought about the stubborn face of the little Taoist priest, and was secretly worried about the two.

"I'm going to turn west and go back to Crape Myrtle Mountain. Brother Tianyi, this is the separation!The grace of the Kunlun Mirror will be repaid in the future!" Zixiao said lightly, preparing to go back to the mountain gate.

Tianyi looked at Yan Xin's slightly pale pretty face. "I'm going to send Yan Xin back to the Xuanjian Sect first, reroute to the south, and see you again in the future. ”

Yan Xin nodded slightly to Zixiao. Several people were separated.

After Tianyi and Yan Xin rushed out of the encirclement, they didn't walk as quickly. In the evening, it will approach Maoshan Mountain, and there is a canyon here, and through the mouth of this canyon you will reach the boundary of Maoshan Mountain.

The valley walls were corrugated by the wind, and the ground was covered with dust. The two of them walked on it, a trace of dust splashing on the soles of their shoes. The breeze blows through the Buddha, and it makes people unable to open their eyes.

"It's late at night, let's find a sheltered place to spend the night, and then we will continue our journey tomorrow. Tianyi looked at Yan Xin's pale face, and she was silent all the way. Tianyi wanted to find something to talk about to get her out of sadness, but this was not his strong point.

Yan Xin just lowered her head and said "grace" lightly.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and suddenly, a flash of fire came into their eyes.

"There's a cave there, it looks like there's someone, let's be careful. Tianyi looked at the cave on the rock wall, thinking that there was a place to shelter from the wind, otherwise the two of them would have to sleep in the open.

"En" Yan Xin lowered her head.

The two of them came to the side of the cave, and Tianyi gently tapped on the rock wall, trying to tell who was inside by the sound. But when he struck it, he was shocked and hurried to the mouth of the cave.

Seeing him like this, Yan Xin also hurriedly followed.

What they saw actually made their jaws drop in shock.

The cave was a little dark, with some torches stuck indiscriminately on the rock walls of the cave, and some torches had run out of fuel and were extinguished. Through the dim light, the two saw dried corpses bound to the rock wall in handcuffs. Some of the dried corpses were still dressed in the clothes of disciples of various sects. And each corpse seemed to be terrified before it died, and its expression was extremely hideous. During the first round of trials with the two, the corpses seen in the bitter cold land of the far north were withdrawn.

The two of them walked through the cave several forks in the road, but found not a single living person. Some of the handcuffs had been opened, but the place was empty, and it was unknown whether they had left on their own or had been taken away.

Tianyi drew the Fire Spirit Sword and threw one of the dried corpses out of the abdomen. A shriveled worm that slipped from the belly of a dried corpse. But seeing that little insect has no essence, it must have been dead for a while.

Tianyi then cut open the abdomen of more than a dozen dried corpses, all of which were the same.

"I'm afraid this little worm is a Gu. Yan Xin finally had a trace of spirit, but it was difficult to hide the trace of hatred in her eyes.

"Do you have any clues?" Tianyi took a small worm and looked at it carefully.

"Today, there is only one Gu cultivator known to the world. Yan Xin looked at the Gu worm for a while, as if she meant something.

"You mean the Great Elder of the Medicine Refining Hall?" Tianyi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, when the rickety old man was mortally injured today, he actually recovered as if he only took one pill. I recalled that the Resurrection Pill was originally refined, and the world knew that only one pill could be used to live and die, and the saying of flesh and bones.

"I'm not sure, but he must know more than we do. Yan Xin said with certainty. The hatred in the corners of his eyes subsided, and he returned to his usual calm appearance.

The two of them collected a few Gu worms in the cave, then went out of the cave and found a sheltered place to rest. Originally, there were no taboos for immortal cultivators, but there were too many corpses in the cave, and the face was hideous, so it was really not a good place to rest.

Tianyi's original cultivation was relatively low, and only the foundation building was cultivated. In addition, the spiritual power consumption of yesterday's game was too huge, and today I hurried away. At this time, he was already exhausted, and fell asleep on the ground. Yan Xin meditated and cultivated on the side, observing the movements around her at all times, and said nothing all night.

The next day, the two of them changed their route to the east and returned to the Refining Sect. When he arrived at the residence of the Great Elder of the Alchemy Hall, he learned that he had already gone to the Shangqing Palace. This Shangqing Hall is the place where the elders in the gate deliberate, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. Even the elders in the door must be invited before they can go. It's just that the situation is urgent at the moment, but I can't take care of it so much.

The Shangqing Hall as a whole is a white stone building, and the carved beams and painted pillars reveal a trace of solemn feeling. A red carpet is laid in the aisles of the inner hall, separating the inner sanctum. There is a white jade chair at the front, which is specially used by the head of the house.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the Shangqing Palace, they were stopped by a disciple guarding the door. Yan Xin and Tian Yi are both celebrities in the Refining Sect, and although the disciple who guards the door is a disciple of the Punishment Hall, he also knows the two.

"This junior brother, we have something important to meet with the Great Elder of the Alchemy Hall. Tianyi stepped forward and accosted the disciple who was guarding the door.

"Senior Brother Tianyi, tell me if you have any important things, and I will help you pass it on. The disciple at the gate had a sad face.

"It's okay, you just said that I have a clue left by the people of the Demon Realm when they invaded. Tianyi said. Thinking that he was already back, he was not in a hurry.

The disciple who guarded the door soon returned and allowed the two to enter the temple.

Tianyi and Yan Xin came to the Shangqing Palace, and the head of the sect and the Great Elder of the Refining Hall were also here. In addition, almost all the elders of the Alchemy Hall were present, and there were two old men in the Clear Void Cave standing in front of the hall. One of them Tianyi knew was the elder who presented Tianyi with the prize of the Great Competition of Middle-earth.

At this time, the elder was holding a pill that was as red as blood, ready to hand it to the Great Elder of the Medicine Refining Hall to look at. And the hands of the Great Elder of the Alchemy Hall trembled, and his face showed a hint of disappointment. Tianyi was a little puzzled. If Ouyang Xiu was here, he would definitely be surprised, because that bright red pill was like the "Resurrection Pill" he had asked for from the Great Elder of the Medicine Refining Hall.

After Tianyi and Yan Xin came in, they first greeted the head and the elders.

Today's head is still wearing a red robe, and the sun shines on his red gold crown to look a little eye-catching. Dao bone fairy wind, radiant. Talking like a breeze, "You two are here, why are you coming?"

Tianyi took a step forward and bowed. "Back to the master, Yan Xin and I found a cave on the rock wall when we returned to the sect. Hundreds of dried corpses in the cavern. I got a Gu worm from the belly of that dried corpse, which must have something to do with the invasion of people in the Demon Domain. After Tianyi finished speaking, he took out the Gu worms he had collected and handed them to the Great Elder of the Medicine Refining Hall.

The Great Elder of the Medicine Refining Hall trembled and took over the Gu worms. His face seemed to be in pain. One will cry, the other will laugh. It's like you've lost your mind. Holding the pill and Gu worm in both hands, he shouted loudly, "Evil obstacle, evil obstacle!"
