The area at the end of one of the three passages deeper below the underground cavern.

"Lin Zao, how can you be sure that the one tied to the skull of the Demon Cultivator is the skull of the Qilin Demon Cultivator?"

Ye Kui only recognized one of the two skulls in the iron box, that is, the skull of the Demon Cultivator that he and Jiang Zhijin had found under a certain swamp.

At that time, the reason why Ye Kui only wanted to find the skull that was not cultivated by the demon was because Ye Kui accepted the bounty of Hongfeng Pavilion.

"Ye Kui, there are a large number of demon cultivation skull illustrated books in the monk world, if you don't believe it, you can go and buy one after leaving here to see if what I said is true or false."

Lin Zao didn't explain too much, but directly asked Ye Kui to confirm it according to this method.

"Yes, then the two demon cultivator skulls in this iron box will belong to me, forget it, let's take the iron box together."

Ye Kui said that he was about to close the iron box.

"Ye Kui, there are still some things I don't understand, why are you in such a hurry to close the box?"

Lin Zao immediately spoke out to stop Ye Kui after seeing Ye Kui's movements, it seems that Lin Zao has once again discovered or learned something that Ye Kui doesn't know.

"The skull of the Demon Cultivator can be used as a seal, and the skull of the Qilin Demon Cultivator should be used for this purpose, and this iron box should not be an important thing."

After Ye Kui heard Lin Zao say this, he slowly retracted the hand that was stretched out to the iron box, and then Ye Kui replied to Lin Zao, but Ye Kui said this just to try Lin Zao's reaction when he received the iron box into the space ring.

"Ye Kui, you're right about the Demon Cultivator's skull, but the Qilin Demon Cultivator's skull is not used as a seal, but as a town's eye, but this is still incomplete.

So I think there's something missing in this iron box, and it's a skull, but the shape of that skull is a little strange, and the inside of the skull is stuffed with a lot of skeletal finger bones, and it should look like this."

Lin Zao thought for a while before deciding to tell Ye Kui some of the things he had learned.

After hearing Lin Zao's words, Ye Kui immediately thought of the inhuman skull that the Moon Blade Devouring Demon Mantis handed over to him when he and the Moon Blade Devouring Demon Mantis were looking for the Dryad Mu Xun in the Drifting Dust Mining Area.

At that time, when Ye Kui took over the skull, he thought that it was a demon cultivator or a demon beast, and that skull was indeed very similar to the skull that Lin Zao described just now.

The inhuman skull that the Moonblade Devourer Mantis found in the Drifting Dust Mine, except for the eyes, all the holes that were exposed were filled with complete severed finger white bones of different thicknesses.

In addition, the severed fingers that are complete to the root are inserted into the various holes of the inhuman skull in sections, and the fingertips are all pointed outward.

However, the slight difference was that the sunken eyes of the non-human skull were stuffed with finger-thick branches or roots, and the skull that Lin Zao had described just now did not seem to have.

"The missing skulls you mentioned are a bit peculiar, and these are also from the book on skulls in the monastic world?"

Ye Kui then continued to ask Lin Zao.

"That's what I've learned from other sources, and if you're doing well in the monk world, you should be able to find out a little bit about it, but it's certainly not much better than I know."

When Lin Zao said this, he had already looked at the skull of the Demon Cultivator and the Qilin Demon Cultivator in the iron box for a long time, and Lin Zao was about to reach out and take out the Demon Cultivator skull in the iron box, but he was so frightened by Ye Kui's eyes that he hurriedly withdrew his hand. new

"If you collect the skulls of the Demon Cultivators, the skulls of the Qilin Demon Cultivators, and the weird skulls you mentioned, what can you do with these skulls? Just a magic circle?"

Ye Kui felt that the role should be this.

"Ye Kui, you are only right, if there are those three skulls, then in addition to being able to use them to arrange the magic circle, the most important thing is that they can be used to find a few treasures, but I am not sure if this matter is true or not."

"Lin Zao, make your words clear."

"That's all I know."

Lin Zao said helplessly.

"Then I'll put this iron box away first."

Ye Kui wasn't sure if Lin Zao was deliberately hiding anything from him, so Ye Kui simply closed the iron box, and then received the iron box into the space ring.

Ye Kui planned to take the time to figure out what the connection and function between the skull and skull full of white bone fingers and wooden sticks that he had obtained in advance and the skull and the unicorn demon head in the iron box.

"Now let's move on to the next place."

Ye Kui said and walked in the direction of the last passage.

"This is called Ye Kui, he should be able to speak, right? I had destroyed an entire sole of my foot and five toes because I couldn't defeat that fire dragon before, and if I couldn't go out this time, I would lose a lot of money."

Lin Zao watched Ye Kui follow the other fire dragon away before muttering, and then Lin Zao cast a spell to keep up with Ye Kui, at this time Lin Zao's frozen feet had melted, so Lin Zao's broken boots had been spilling blood.

Lin Zao had only bandaged it a few times before, and after Lin Zao knew that the soles of his left foot and the five toes of his right foot were frozen and completely shattered, he had no intention of continuing to bandage, after all, now Lin Zao was also a little used to using that mourning stick instead of his left foot.

"The place that the Buddha Intention True Flame Bowl is pointing to should be the end of the last passage, if there is nothing there that can repair the Buddha Meaning True Flame Cup, then I will continue to search the ground above after leaving this huge cavity."

Ye Kui used his spirit to move forward quickly, but at the same time, he was worried that he would come to the wrong place.

From the time Ye Kui first came to this hollow until now, the slightly useful things that Ye Kui found were Lin Zao, and there was the Judi Demon Cultivation Skull and the Qilin Demon Cultivation Skull in the iron box, and then there was nothing, originally Ye Kui thought that there would already be more treasures in such a big place.

When Ye Kui came to the living area, Ye Kui easily broke through the magic circle and iron gate in front of him as before, and then the fire dragon flew into it first.

The other Phantom Crane that had arrived here a long time ago disappeared directly, and the small orange-red ring on the crane's neck also turned into a small flame and then quickly extinguished.

After that, Ye Kui and Lin Zao jumped over the pile of wood outside the passage before entering the destroyed iron gate.

"Ye Kui, this place doesn't look like the place you said you lived, I think it looks a lot like a prison, I just don't know why there are so many wooden beds in the passage outside the prison, if you don't plan to let the prisoners in the prison sleep?"

Lin Zao said in confusion after seeing that the area inside the destroyed iron gate was a single cell separated by a black iron.

"This is supposed to be a prison converted from a living quarter, so it would explain why the outside is full of wooden beds that can't fit in a single cell than here, someone should have locked up a monk or a demon cultivator here."

Ye Kui observed the surrounding environment for a while before answering Lin Zao on the side.

"Perhaps, there are still a lot of monks' torn clothes and boots on the ground of this prison, and some of them have broken horns and broken armor."

Lin also agreed with Ye Kui's opinion after walking around the prison as before.

"If you look closely, the cells here are not only cramped, but there is nothing but the smell of blood, and it seems that the prisoners here are not having a good time."

Ye Kui approached one of the cells and looked inside through a few horizontal cracks in the door.

"Those guys have captured monks and demon cultivators here and tortured them constantly, but I don't know what purpose they are for, and now I feel like I may suspect the wrong person."

Lin Zao also followed Ye Kui's example and walked to a cell to check the situation inside, and after Lin Zao smelled the smell of blood and feces and urine wafting from the narrow pitch-black cell, he immediately took a few steps back before saying to Ye Kui.

"Before, you told you categorically that some monks from the Righteous Path Immortal Sect were doing some shady things here, but now you hesitate and say that you are mistaken, did you also discover other secrets of this prison, that's why you?

Suddenly change your tune?"

Ye Kui turned around and asked Lin Zao, who was not far away.

"Ye Kui, you can smell it carefully, I smelled those bloody smells very strange just now, I don't think it's the blood of the monk, nor the blood of the demon cultivator."

"Lin Zao, what kind of blood do you think it is? Monsters?"

"I don't know, but I don't think those guys belong to what you and I mean."

"Let's look separately and see if there are any other clues here."

Ye Kui was also a little confused after listening to what Lin Zao said, so Ye Kui planned to search the prison thoroughly, and by the way, according to Lin Zao's intentions, he would smell the residual smell of blood in the cell.

Half an hour later.

"Lin Zao, I'm sorry, I really can't smell the difference between the smell of blood in the cell and the ordinary smell of blood, maybe it's because I haven't had much contact with this aspect to tell the difference."

After Ye Kui and Lin Zao each walked around the prison a few times, Ye Kui took the initiative to walk up to Lin Zao, who was standing in front of the iron door of a certain cell with a mourning battle.

"Ye Kui, it is true that as you said, there is one thing that I will not hide from you, I used to be a disciple of an elder in the Blood Demon Sect, and for a long time I was also responsible for guarding the blood pool in the Blood Demon Gate, during which I accidentally drank some blood in the blood pool, so my sensitivity to the smell of blood is not comparable to that of ordinary monks."

Lin Zao hesitated for a while before saying to Ye Kui.

"Lin Zao, you said that you used to say that the Bloody Demon Sect was an evil cultivator?"

When Ye Kui heard Lin Zao on the other side mention that the Blood Demon Gate had already exploded and was once an evil cultivator of the Blood Demon Gate, Ye Kui immediately thought of the Blood Demon Gate, the dead door master, Mi Xuezi, and the current door master Yong Xiaojing of the Blood Demon Gate.

"That's right, but I left the Blood Demon Sect early on to become a free and easy cultivator."

"Lin Zao, when you haven't left the Blood Demon Gate, who is the master of the Blood Demon Gate?"

"Before I left the Bloody Gate, the owner of the Bloody Gate was the Mad Blood who was still in retreat, but at that time I also heard that the Mad Blood had died due to the failure of the retreat, and then the Mad Blood Son's personal disciple Mi Xuezi was ascending to the throne."

"Yes, you are quite high in the current Blood Demon Gate, but I don't know if you would have survived until now if you hadn't left the Blood Demon Gate earlier."

Hearing Lin Zao say this, Ye Kui immediately thought of several major events that had happened in the Blood Demon Gate.

First, the master of the bloody sect, Mi Xuezi, died at the hands of his big disciple Yong Xiaojing; The second is that after Yong Xiaojing became the current master of the Bloody Demon Sect, he has been committed to turning the Bloody Demon Sect, which originally belonged to the Evil Cultivation Sect, into the Righteous Path Immortal Sect.

"Ye Kui, let's put aside the previous things for a while, I found some things in this cell, if you are interested, you can take a look.

Maybe what is left inside will make you believe that you said those words before, that is, the guy who is locked up here as a prison is not a monk, a demon cultivator, a demon head, or a demon beast, but another kind of guy who does not belong to the Tianque Continent."

Lin Zao didn't seem to want to continue the topic of bloody doors, so Lin Zao took a few steps to the side with the mourning battle, and then let go of the iron door of the cell behind him.

"Lin Zao, is there a corpse inside?"

Except for the cell behind Lin Zao, Ye Kui had already looked at the situation in the other cells in this prison, but Ye Kui did not see bloodstains, feces and urine in the other cells.

"Almost, you'll see for yourself."

Lin Zao deliberately didn't say anything, and Ye Kui on the side had no choice but to approach the cell, and then looked in through a few cracks in the iron door of the cell for a while.

"A severed finger?"

At this time, Ye Kui saw a severed finger stained with dirty blood lying in the upper right corner of the cell.

"Ye Kui, I almost forgot that you are not so sensitive to the smell of blood, then you can open the door of the cell, and then take out the severed finger to see what happens."

Lin Zao saw that Ye Kui still seemed to be very confused, so Lin Zao reached out and knocked on the cell while answering Ye Kui, signaling that Ye Kui could do it.

listen

As soon as Lin Zao said this, Ye Kui first sensed again that there were indeed no other guys hidden in the cell in front of him or the magic circle, and then he tore open the iron door of the cell in front of him like a dough cake.

"I also tried it just now, although the iron door of the cell looks a lot rusty and aging, but no matter what, it is several times stronger than the huge iron door outside, but this Ye Kui directly used brute force to easily break open the iron door outside the cell.

Originally, I always thought that this Ye Kui was just a sword cultivator, but I didn't expect him to be a martial artist, it seems that when he dealt with me before, he was completely casual, and he didn't take it seriously at all."

When Lin Zao thought of this, he was also a little glad that he didn't continue to fight with Ye Kui when he was in that area of the altar, otherwise he would have lost not only the five fingers of his left foot and his right foot, but a whole life.

When Lin was thinking about other things, Ye Kui, who had entered the cell, had already walked out of the cell, and at this time, Ye Kui had an extra section of severed finger wrapped in cloth in his hand.

"If you just look at the surface, this severed finger is no different from a normal person's finger, but if you look at the cross-section of this severed finger, you will find that the flesh and bones under the skin of this finger are like dyed with ink."

At this time, Ye Kui had slowly walked to Lin Zao's side, and then handed the severed finger in his hand that wrapped his fingertips with cloth in front of Lin Zao.

"Those guys who are locked up here have been hiding in people's skins, and this section of the severed finger is also broken off by the skin, and there is not even a trace of demonic power and spiritual power in this section of the severed finger, but it has always remained alive, it seems that what I said before is right, they are neither demon cultivators, demon beasts, nor monks."

Lin Zao took the severed finger handed over by Ye Kui and began to say his opinion, and then Lin Zao did not continue to look at the severed finger, but handed it to Ye Kui again.

"Lin Zao, do you think this severed finger fell into that cell by accident or was someone deliberately placed in that cell?"

Ye Kui then asked.

"Ye Kui, I don't know if you noticed at the beginning, the section of this severed finger is very smooth, and it must have been cut with some sharp blade.

In addition, I also noticed that the location of this severed finger is not very hidden, and you and I can see this section of fingers through the horizontal crack in the iron door when we stand outside the cell, let alone the guys who guard the cell.

So I think this severed finger was deliberately left in a prominent place in that cell, and then waited to be seen by the people who came here."

Lin Zao did not hesitate to express his opinion.

"You're looking closely."

Ye Kui didn't think about it that much at all, and until now Ye Kui still had some suspicions that Lin Zao threw that severed finger into that cell, and then Lin Zao deliberately leaned against the outside of that cell and waited for him to pass.

"Ye Kui, I know you may not believe me, but I still want to remind you that after you leave here with that severed finger, it's better to destroy it as soon as possible, or hand over that severed finger to the large immortal gate and let them trouble.

Otherwise, you might not be their match when the owner of that severed finger and the other fellows come to you."

After Lin Zao finished speaking, he leaned against the iron door of the other cell, and then let out a long breath, Lin Zao looked a little tired at this time.

"Lin Zao, how did you know that this section was short and that the master would come to the door? And until now I have not felt the danger in this verse."

After Ye Kui experienced the previous incident of the Demon Cultivator Ma He Ring Ancestral Broken Arm, now Ye Kui is not so surprised by similar things.

"Ye Kui, what I said may not be right, it's just that I feel like that, so I remind you like this."

In fact, the reason why Lin Zao has always been kind enough to remind Ye Kui is mainly because Lin Zao wants to leave here as soon as possible, I don't know why, now Lin Zao feels very uncomfortable in this place, obviously Lin Zao has been here alone for decades before and has not felt this way.

"Lin Zao, do you think there is anything in this prison this time?

Got a hidden object? Just like the iron box you found in the last warehouse area that contained the Demon Skull and the Kirin Demon Skull."

"I didn't find anything special here this time, even if there really is, it can't compare to the finger in your hand, Ye Kui, can we leave here?"

When Lin Zao replied to Ye Kui, his eyes looked towards the exit for a while.

"Wait a minute, I think this time it's down there, you wait for me to dig it up and see, I should be able to dig up something."

At this time, Ye Kui suddenly discovered that the Buddha Meaning True Yan Zhan in the space ring finally had a new movement.

This time, the Buddha Meaning True Yan Lamp in Ye Kui's space suddenly hung up, and then the Buddha Meaning True Yan Lamp that was hanging slowly turned half a circle, and finally used the upper part of the lamp to face the bottom, and the bottom of the lamp to the top.

That's why Ye Kui thought of the Buddha's intention to dig down by himself, and if he couldn't dig something, he would dig up all sides of this prison.

"Did you guess what clues were found?"

Lin Zao asked Ye Kui with some curiosity.

"It's just a gut feeling."

Ye Kui replied that Lin had already taken action.

After a while, the ground of this prison had been dug a large pit a foot deep by Ye Kui's spell, and Lin Zao, who was standing above and looking down, could be regarded as seeing the end from the beginning, but Lin Zao couldn't sense anything.

"This Ye Kui should want to learn my operation of digging out the iron box in the warehouse area, but Ye Kui should just want to try his luck by doing this, even if he really digs up something, it's just a blind cat and a dead mouse."

Lin Zao saw that Ye Kui below was still casting spells and digging pits, so Lin Zao shook his head helplessly while thinking so in his heart, anyway, Lin Kui was not optimistic about Ye Kui's action in the morning.

Half an hour later, Ye Kui almost gave up, but just as Ye Kui was about to fly out of this pit several feet deep, the earthen wall beside Ye Kui suddenly collapsed a little, and a silver iron box slipped out of it.

"It seems that the Buddha's true flame didn't show me the way, but fortunately, I continued to insist on digging to get here, otherwise I would have passed by this thing."

After Ye Kui finished speaking, he picked up the silver iron box on the ground, and then flew to the area above with the wind intent.

"Did you really find it? Ye Kui, what's in that silver tin box?"

Lin Zao saw Ye Kui coming out of the dirt pit and also saw the silver strip-shaped iron box in Ye Kui's hand, so Lin Zao opened his mouth to ask Ye Kui.

"I can't tell you this, now we can get out of here."

Ye Kui replied that Lin Zao beckoned upward, and then the fire dragon hovering above this prison area quickly flew in front of Ye Kui, and finally Ye Kui and Lin had already left this underground cavity with this fire dragon.

When Ye Kui and Lin Zao returned to the ground, it was already dark outside, but there was still heavy snow falling in the sky, and the cold wind nearby was howling back and forth endlessly as if they lived here.

"Lin Zao, according to the previous agreement, you can leave here, I won't stop you."

Ye Kui said to Lin Zao on the side.

"Farewell."

After Lin Zao heard that Ye Kui was finally willing to let him go, he politely bowed his hand to Ye Kui, and then cast a spell and disappeared in place.

"I hope this guy named Lin Zao won't be a big murderer, but when I was in the underground cavity before, I was also sure that Lin Zao didn't look like an evil cultivator, it should just be a normal casual cultivator."

Ye Kui saw Lin Zao leave and then turned to look at the huge hole on the other side.

"What should I do with this? I didn't make it, but it's not good to keep this hole exposed like this, and if a mortal or other animal accidentally slips into it, it might kill you on the spot."

When Ye Kui thought of this, he first left here, and then went to cut a nearby mountain that was bare and uninhabited by people and animals, and then Ye Kui moved the mountain to that huge hollow

Inside.

Now there is a small hill in the underground cavity, which is originally a big mountain, if it weren't for the fact that the mountain is big enough and high enough, it may be completely swallowed by the hollow underneath, and in the end you can't even see a mountain, let alone expose a small mountain.

Then, Ye Kui used his wind twist to push the nearby high school layer and dirt towards the empty area below the huge hollow.

It probably took Ye Kui more than an hour to fill in the huge bottomless hole before with a large mountain and a huge amount of soil to create a hill surrounded by dirt slopes.

"Then it's time to see what's in that silver tin box, and now we can go to the little temple at the bottom of the cliff for another night."

After Ye Kui made a decision, he used his wind twist to fly towards the bottom of a cliff in the distance.

After Ye Kui came to the place where the small temple at the bottom of the cliff was located, Ye Kui first went to the vicinity of the small temple to take a look at the simple grave of a certain little monkey, and only walked into the small temple after making sure that the tomb had not been hit by the previous falling rock.

Ye Kui, who closed the door of the small temple, walked to the stool that had been wiped clean inside the small temple and sat down, and then Ye Kui lit the oil lamp he had placed in the small temple again.

At this time, the Buddha's true flame cup was also taken out of the space ring by Ye Kui, and the long silver iron box found in the underground cavity was also opened by Ye Kui and placed on the table.

"That's interesting."

Ye Kui saw that the thing contained in the silver iron box was actually a string of Buddha beads that had been burned black by the fire, but the string of Buddha beads was not burned.

"When I opened this silver tin box, the smell of burnt was exactly the same as the burning smell I had when I first came to the small temple from the cliff."

Ye Kui said as he picked up the blackened Buddhist beads in the silver iron box.

"Even if you hold this charred bead in your hand, you won't get the charred toner on it, and you can still feel some of the afterglow of the fire from this burnt bead.

This is a bit like the small dark red Dan furnace I found in the Xun Ling Alchemy Pavilion in the Great Rift Valley at the bottom of the Millennium Snow Mountain.

However, when I opened the Xiao Dan Furnace and took out the Sixfold Broken Mirror Pill sealed inside, the Xiao Dan Furnace had no temperature, so it was still a strange string of charred black Buddha beads."

When Ye Kui played with the string of Buddhist beads in his hand, he didn't find that many cracks began to spread silently on the blackened Buddhist beads in his hand.

"Huh? What is this?"

When each Buddha bead on the scorched black Buddhist beads in Ye Kui's hand was broken into black carbon slag, Ye Kui reacted to the fire.

At this time, Ye Kui saw that the Buddha Meaning True Flame on the table was suddenly dyed with golden Buddha Flame.

And the string in Ye Kui's hand, which was originally strung with those burnt Buddha beads, flew out of Ye Kui's hand with a "boom", and finally the string flew into the golden Buddha flame lamp on the table.

"Now that the last step is missing, the Buddha Intention True Flame Cup should be completely repaired, but I don't know if it will be so smooth in the future."

After Ye Kui saw the string of ropes flying into the Buddha Meaning True Yan Lamp burning Buddha Yan, Buddha Yan, who did not have a trace of temperature, did not burn the string of ropes to ashes, but burned the string of ropes into a golden symbol in the shape of the word "丿".

Now Ye Kui also saw another thing that appeared in the lamp of the Buddha's True Flame Lamp one step earlier.

That is, the semi-circular object that was spit out by the monkey before was burned into a delicate golden "㇏" shaped crescent by the Buddha flame that was automatically ignited, and then the golden crescent moon also entered the lamp of the Buddha's true flame.

"Now these two things are together."

Ye Kui looked at the golden symbol in the shape of "丿" in the lamp of the Buddha's true flame lamp and the golden crescent moon in the shape of "㇏", and finally formed a Buddhist "swastika" character.

By the early morning of the next day, the snow had finally lightened.

"Let's go to Hongfeng Pavilion again."

Ye Kui glanced at the Buddha Meaning True Yan Zhan in his hand again

Only then did he be satisfied and put the almost repaired Buddha Intention True Yan Jar back into the space ring, and then Ye Kui flew towards the nearest Hongfeng Pavilion branch with a twisting wind intent.

Ye Kui felt that he would go over there to see if Hongfeng Pavilion had gathered all the information he needed.

Even if he didn't, Ye Kui planned to buy some other items or information in Hongfeng Pavilion, such as the books that Lin had told Ye Kui earlier to continue to cultivate skulls

I don't know why, Lin Zao, who was separated from Ye Kui before, had already come to the cave mansion of a certain mountain peak in Fan Xiang Valley, and Lin Zao was still talking to a certain guy in the cave mansion.

"Hey, I said Lin Zao, why do you look so embarrassed, you're on crutches, didn't you just let you go there and squat those guys? You must not have followed what I told you to be found out by them and hurt like this, although it is indeed dangerous there, but as long as you follow the steps I say, you will be fine.

Hey, Lin Zao, didn't you see that your broken boots were still bleeding? Come here, I'll help you bandage it right away."

Mu Xun, the tree demon sitting on the stone bench next to the stone table, saw Lin Zao walking into the cave with a mourning battle, so he hurriedly pointed to the stone bed on the side and said to Lin Zao.

"Boss, I shouldn't have been injured like this, but I was a little unlucky and met a powerful monk named Ye Kui."

Lin Zao had already walked to the stone bed and lay down when he answered that the tree demon was looking for it.

"What? Lin Zao, you... Who did you say you met?"

The Dryad Mu Xun asked with some surprise.

"Boss, a monk named Ye Kui has disrupted your plans and injured my foot."

"Lin Zao, I know, you can rest in peace."

"Okay boss, then I'll sleep."

Lin Zao, who was tired and painful, fell asleep on the stone bed after saying this.
