Chapter 168: The Secret Legend of Ten Thousand Demons
The stone door that was suddenly revealed made Chen Heng and the others faintly have a sense of expectation.
Qin Rui learned from Chen Heng, pryed off a luminous pearl from the stone wall on the side, and the two of them each held one, and walked in along the stone door.
As soon as they entered the door, a burst of rancid smell suddenly came to their nostrils, and the smell was disgusting, and the two of them didn't vomit out, and almost turned around and ran back.
Holding back the feeling of vomiting, the two frowned, and looked at the dim light of the luminous beads, and their faces changed dramatically in an instant.
There was also a room in front of them, boxy, not a lot of space, but what made them change color was because the room was full of dead bodies.
To be exact, it should be a skeleton wearing clothes, Chen Heng just accidentally sneezed, and the clothes on a corpse in front of him turned into powder, obviously oxidized for a long time.
There were hundreds of corpses in this room, stacked on top of each other, piled up there irregularly.
From this point of view, it should have been transported here after death and thrown in directly.
"This ......"
Qin Rui gasped, he was frightened just by looking at it, if it weren't for his stoic nature, he was afraid that he would faint directly.
Seeing so many corpses at first glance, even if Chen Heng, who had seen too many dead people, was still uncomfortable, his back was cold, and he was cold from head to toe.
"These people should have been dead for years. If I'm right, I'm afraid it's those cultivators who went up the mountain before!"
After a while, Chen Heng barely suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
Qin Rui is even more unbearable than him, after all, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never experienced real danger.
"I don't think there's anything to see here, so let's go outside!"
Chen Heng shook his head and said, "Wait a minute!"
Qin Rui was slightly stunned, seeing Chen Heng carefully looking at those corpses, he felt a little admiration in his heart.
Although he and Chen Heng have been fighting openly and secretly since they went to the empty mulberry mountain, they have fallen behind everywhere.
But in his heart, he never admitted defeat, he just thought that Chen Heng's talent was stronger than him, which was born and could not be changed by manpower.
And although he is inferior to Chen Heng in terms of talent, he is obviously better in terms of intelligence, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can always press Chen Heng to the end.
But at this time, seeing that Chen Heng was obviously not suitable for the environment here, he was still able to endure the discomfort and investigate carefully, even if he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he knew that he had lost Chen Heng.
Thinking of this, the stubbornness in his heart rose.
What Chen Heng can do, he Qin Rui can also do.
So, Qin Rui also suppressed the urge to run away, and reluctantly observed those corpses.
Because of the psychology of wanting to compete with Chen Heng rose in his heart, he naturally wanted to find more clues than Chen Heng.
Under this urgency, he soon saw the clues, and at the same time let out a soft sigh.
When Chen Heng heard the voice, he turned around and asked, "Did you find it too?"
Qin Rui nodded and said, "Judging from the clothes of these corpses, they are not too old, and they will definitely not die of old age." However, each body was intact, and there were no obvious signs of poisoning. It's not hurt, it's not poisonous, so how did they die?"
Chen Heng nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, the only thing that is certain is that these people should be folk cultivators who went up the mountain to explore before. But Qi Qi said that those who went up the mountain were killed by the spirits of the bull and lion, so why did they appear here?"
Qin Rui said: "If there really is a bull lion, it is impossible for it to come here. The only explanation is that these people were killed by Qiqi and then thrown here. In other words, there are no bulls and lions in this world at all, and they are completely made up by Qiqi to scare us. ”
"Will we end up like them?"
Qin Rui's eyes flickered, and he didn't seem to be sure.
Chen Heng was silent, just now his mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, as if he had captured something, but he couldn't completely find out, so he frowned and thought hard.
Qin Rui thought about outperforming Chen Heng, and in order to show more, he continued to talk to himself.
"These people didn't die of natural causes, they must have been killed. Generally speaking, the gathering of so many unjustly killed corpses will definitely form a scene of resentment. Even if you can't see it with the naked eye, you can feel the gloom in it. ”
"But from the time we came in until now, not to mention the gloomy wind, there was not even a gust of fresh wind, but a dead silence, a deathly silence. In this way, it can be seen that either they have been overtaken after death, or when they die, even their souls have been scattered. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Rui's body suddenly trembled, as if he had thought of something terrible, and said in a trembling voice: "In this underground, there is only one person, it is impossible for him to transcend these dead people, that is to say, the latter is more likely." ”
"No wonder, no wonder there are no scars on their bodies, it turns out that they died because their souls were scattered. ”
People have three souls and seven spirits, and even if one of them survives after death, there is also the hope of reincarnation, but once the soul is scattered, it will disappear forever in this world, and not even a trace of the mark will be retained.
Even the most frenzied villains in the cultivation world will rarely beat their enemies to the point of scattering their souls, and they will never be reborn.
This kind of practice is too harmful to heaven and harmony, and it is also harmful to one's own body, and the heavens do not tolerate it.
Suddenly, Qin Rui's body trembled again, and he exclaimed, "I understand, I know Qiqi's purpose!"
His sudden exclamation also made Chen Heng come back to his senses, and he looked at Qin Rui for some reason.
Qin Rui opened his mouth, as if he was hesitant to say it, but if he could not help but exclaim just now, maybe it would be possible to keep it, and since he had already attracted Chen Heng's attention at this time, it was naturally impossible to keep silent.
Gritting his teeth slightly, Qin Rui secretly said in his heart: That's it, since you want to press Chen Heng back, let's talk about it directly, and let him understand, I won't lose to him.
Thinking of this, Qin Rui spoke: "We have never known why Qi Qi would give us such a top-level exercise, and even made a heavy promise, but it is obvious that there is no free lunch in the world, even if he wants to find a successor, he doesn't need to go to such great lengths. ”
"But when I saw these corpses, I suddenly understood that he wanted us to make a wedding dress for him. The way these people died in front of me made me think of a word, and only this reason can explain all this. ”
Qin Rui was about to continue, but Chen Heng suddenly spoke: "What you want to say, is it 'taking away'?"
Qin Rui was slightly stunned, and looked at Chen Heng in disbelief, but he didn't expect that he could see it too.
However, Chen Heng didn't have a reason for his reaction, and said to himself: "The first thing to do is to break the other party's spiritual sense, and the spiritual sense is where the soul is, once it is broken, naturally there will only be a body left." And the original energy of this body will also be used and absorbed by Qi Qi, am I right?"
At this time, only he knew how complicated Qin Rui's heart was, so he just nodded subconsciously.
He thought that he would finally have the opportunity to take the lead on Chen Heng, even if he just found some clues first, it would be the upper hand, but he didn't expect it, not only did he think of it, but Chen Heng also thought of it.
It's just that what he didn't know was that Chen Heng didn't just think of Qi Qi wanting to use the Nine Yin and Nine Yang exercises to deal with them now, but as early as a day ago, when he saw the two exercises of Nine Yin and Nine Yang.
If Qin Rui learns the news, he doesn't know if he will vomit blood directly.
Chen Heng frowned and said, "Let's not talk about this for the time being, as long as there is a precaution, it will not be so easy for him to use it again." Just now, something suddenly occurred to me. ”
After this short period of good thought, Chen Heng finally caught what the flash of inspiration was just now.
Without waiting for Qin Rui to ask, Chen Heng continued: "From the very beginning, Qi Qi never told us the truth. Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the Ten Thousand Dragons Sect, which was once as famous as the True Martial Sword Sect?"
Qin Rui was slightly stunned, although he also thought that Qi Qi had not told the truth, and felt that Chen Heng's words were complete nonsense, but he still did not interrupt, shook his head, and said, "No, I have always been puzzled." ”
Chen Heng leaned behind his back, his eyes flickered, and said, "I really haven't heard of the Wanlong Sect, but there is another name, I'm afraid you have heard of it." ”
"That's the Ten Thousand Demon Sect!"
Chen Heng was stunned word by word, but the three words were slammed on Qin Rui's heart, making his face turn pale with a "brush".
"Ten Thousand Demons...... Ten Thousand Demons ...... This...... How is this possible?"
Although he couldn't believe it, there was a voice in his heart telling him that what Chen Heng said was the truth.
This place is the former site of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and Qi Qi should be the only successor left by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
Speaking of this Ten Thousand Demon Sect, it did fall thousands of years ago, in that era, it was an existence that everyone heard of, even those civilians who made a living from all kinds of rough work also weakened their legs after hearing the name of Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
The child cries at night, as long as he says the three words Ten Thousand Demon Sect to him, he can immediately stop crying.
Such an existence is completely unimaginable in this day and age, but it cannot prevent them from learning about that period of history.
The so-called Ten Thousand Demons does not gather all the demon cultivators, but this sect acts without scruples, and I don't know how many strong people have fallen into their hands.
This sect is half condensation, half cultivation, once the two of them are combined, the power that erupts is stronger than that of cultivators in the previous realm.
It is precisely because of their strength that no sect can compare with them, they are more unscrupulous, and wherever they pass, like locusts crossing the border, there is almost no grass.
In the entire barbarian capital region, I don't know how many resources have been taken away, and I don't know how many lives have been taken.
In just ten years, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has run rampant, and the number of human beings in the entire Barbarian Capital Domain has plummeted by three percent, if there is no more means to restrain them, in another few decades, hundreds of years, I am afraid that only the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect will be left in the Barbarian Capital Domain.
It was also understood that at that time, under the leadership of the True Martial Sword Sect, the cultivation world mobilized almost all the living forces to compete with it, and finally destroyed the Ten Thousand Demon Sect after paying countless lives.
However, the cultivation realm of the Barbarian Capital Domain also suffered heavy losses, and the True Martial Sword Sect collapsed as a result, and the Barbarian Beasts also took the opportunity to occupy countless territories, forming a pattern that still cannot be changed after thousands of years.
"What should have been thought of a long time ago, what should have been thought of a long time ago! Ten Thousand Dragon Sect, Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the difference between one word is just ......"
