Chapter 103: Molting (Chapter Request)
The group came out with solemn faces.
At this time, the sky was already white, and the disciples in the purple bamboo forest were still sleeping peacefully, unaware that their master had turned into a half-cut corpse.
Including Bai Lingshuang, a disciple who has not been a newcomer for a long time.
Elder Xue was about to go to Sect Master Chen Hanshi.
Because things are out of their control.
Li Yulin was killed by a "person", and there is still a "her" to deal with in the sect, which is indeed not something that their group can easily handle.
Elder Xue had heard that the Yunxue Sect was actually suppressing demons, but he had only heard of it, and he didn't know about it.
Because it was a very old rumor, it seemed to be something that happened before the patriarch Zhao Lianyue founded the Yunxue Sect.
It is said that at that time, the patriarch and the spirit fox were together, and there was some kind of evil in the mountain, and the ancestor and the spirit fox joined forces to kill it, and even the corpses were suppressed under a mysterious array, so as to keep the peace of the party.
This kind of legend is not clear, even if she is an elder, she doesn't know, and tonight's events are beyond her expectations, so she can only go to the sect leader Chen Hanshi.
As the head of a sect, Chen Hanshi was naturally the highest person in the Yunxue Sect.
How high, almost as high as a snowy peak.
Few people know what realm he is, because the last time he made a move was twenty years ago, and at that time, he showed the cultivation of the Five Realms Natal Realm.
Of course, his realm may be more than that.
The Yunxue Sect has a good reputation in the northern region, in addition to the fact that the sect does have a foundation, but also because the true realm of the sect leader Chen Hanshi is unpredictable.
Some people think that he is the natal realm of the Five Realms, while some people think that he has reached the Six Realms and move mountains, and of course more people think that he is between the Five Realms and the Six Realms.
He often retreats, probably because he wants to understand the barrier between the five and six realms.
Chen Hanshi is a real old man in the cultivation world.
The monks of the Five Realms Natal Realm, as long as they refine the natal objects that are in line with their hearts, their longevity will increase to about three hundred years.
And Chen Hanshi, who is almost two hundred and eighty years old this year, if he is in the natal realm, he is almost at the end of Shouyuan.
Of course, in the entire history of the Yunxue Sect, the one who lived the longest was still the ancestor of the sect, Zhao Lianyue, who lived for nine hundred and thirty-two years, only under the legendary figure who became an immortal.
This is almost a miracle, because even a land god fairy realm character who has the means to reach the sky is only this longevity.
You must know that at that time, Zhao Lianyue was only moving mountains in the Six Realms.
If Chen Hanshi wanted to live longer, he could undoubtedly only continue to break through, which was also the reason why Elder Xue and the others had been reluctant to disturb him during his retreat.
Life and death are big things.
But things have come to this point, even the deputy sect leader Li Yulin died inexplicably, so he had to be invited out of the mountain.
The place where Chen Hanshi retreats is in a hidden cave near the snow-capped mountains.
There are not many traces of artificial carving in this cave, and it can be said to be a natural grotto.
Although there is no special person to guard this place, it has always been the forbidden place of the Yunxue Sect.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, a person of Elder Xue's status would not easily step in.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the dim mountain forest was gradually dyed with color.
It's just that the rain hasn't stopped, and the sky is very overcast.
Naturally, the inside of that grotto was also dark.
It wasn't until the four of them walked a distance inside that traces of human life gradually appeared in the cave.
The cave is not pitch black, and the walls above the head have holes in large and small holes that can cast a little light from the sky.
The air was filled with dampness, and a rudimentary stone bridge led to the interior.
There, that's where Chen Hanshi retreats.
At this time, Elder Xue couldn't help but speak, "Xue Yu has something important to ask to see the sect master!" ”
The voice echoed through the empty grotto, and there was no response.
"Xue Yu has something important to ask to see the sect master!"
Elder Xue repeated it again.
The grotto was still silent, only her voice echoing inside.
Does this mean that Sect Master Chen Hanshi is not in it?
Or is the retreat in some kind of mystical state that you can't respond to?
Elder Xue thought of Li Yulin's strangeness and her death, and gave birth to a sense of crisis that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, so he didn't hesitate too much and walked in.
Yes, we can't wait any longer, otherwise the Yunxue Sect will change the sky.
It was a slightly modified stone chamber from a natural cave, with only an oil-free lamp except for a stone table and a stone bench.
From here, it can be seen that Chen Hanshi's retreat life has always been very hard.
It is said that the people who have reached his level have already had a sense of peace and joy in their state of mind.
In short, Ji Que didn't reach that realm, he didn't know that kind of happiness, and he even felt that when he reached that realm, he couldn't experience that kind of happiness.
It's so painful not to eat.
When you are born, isn't the most important thing to enjoy those few bites of food and drink?
There is a small wooden door in the stone chamber.
Elder Xue had seen the sect master come out of there, and she guessed that it should be the retreat room of the other party.
She came to the door and repeated her request for a meeting, but there was still no response.
Elder Xue couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
The sect master's senior brother who has been in retreat is not there?
She pushed it with her hand, and the wooden door creaked open.
Behind the wooden door is a grotto converted into a room.
The air here is getting more humid and the air smells musty.
There was only one broken futon on the ground, and nothing else.
You can see the head of this stone room at a glance, Chen Hanshi is really not here?
The walls of the stone chamber are carved with a lot of words and some messy moral feelings.
This is indeed something to avoid for cultivators.
However, Elder Xue didn't care about this, but said nervously, "Sect Master Senior Brother is not here? ”
At this time, Old Man Luo spoke: "Could Sect Master Chen know that there is a change in the sect, so he went out first, and then moved?" ”
That's one explanation.
Ji Que sat on the futon, looking at everything on the wall, imagining the picture of the rumored sect master Chen Hanshi sitting here and meditating, only feeling that it was really similar to what he felt when he was studying hard.
didn't find the sect leader Chen Hanshi, and the original plan suddenly came to an impasse.
Ning Hongyu didn't stop, and kept tapping on the walls around him.
She must be looking to see if there is a secret room or something.
Ji Que saw it in his eyes, and always felt that this female Shangfeng had never gone to the ground, robbed a tomb or something like that.
Why else is it so skilled?
Ning Hongyu ignored him, and suddenly, she raised her eyebrows, and her light fist hit a certain place on the stone wall.
I heard a clang, which was the sound of the mechanism opening.
This is followed by "Huh? With a bang, Ji Que, who was sitting on the futon, flipped and disappeared from everyone's sight.
It was a dark hole, and the wind bleed.
Old man Luo watched Ji Que fall, his forehead was sweating, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is really unlucky." ”
Such a big problem room, there is a mechanism there, and he just sits there, isn't this bad luck?
Ning Hongyu and the others leaned over, only to see that there were no stone steps or anything like anything in the entrance of the cave, it was straight down, black and swarthy, like a well, bubbling with cold air.
Ning Hongyu stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Ji Que? ”
There was no response, and there was silence below, a dead silence, as if Ji Que had been eaten by this hole.
The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, even a little fearful, because it probably involved the secret of the Yunxue Sect Master.
Everyone has secrets, and Sect Master Chen Hanshi is also not exempt from vulgarity.
There may be some terrible secret hidden underneath, otherwise it wouldn't be so secretive.
Elder Xue was a little big for a while, but Ning Hongyu didn't care about this, and squatted down the cave wall and slid down......
Seeing this, Old Man Luo asked, "Are we going down?" ”
Elder Xue gritted his teeth and said, "Go down!" ”
If the senior brother is down there, and he doesn't know these two young people, there may be a conflict.
With that, she slid down.
Darkness, a thick darkness enveloped the body.
The moment Ji Que fell from the futon, the first thought in his head was-"Ning Hongyu's mother-in-law didn't mean it, right?" ”。
Immediately, he pulled out the Thousand Machine Sword, and just wanted to move his body, but the result was a bang, and his head smashed the solid stone slab, in an upside-down willow posture.
So shallow?
The dark cave was like a well, and Ji Que thought that it would fall for a while longer, but it turned out to be too sudden.
Fortunately, he is now full of true yuan, and the effect of "iron head gong" is naturally no longer a problem.
He had just pulled his head out of the smashed floor with his hands on the ground, his body hanging upside down, only to hear a snap, and a mass of soft flesh pressed down on him, and his head fell back into the floor with a thud.
Ning Hongyu half-knelt on Ji Que, who was inserted upside down, a little stunned.
She thought the hole would be quite deep, but in the blink of an eye, her legs suddenly came head-on, so she could only press her knees together.
This picture is a little magical for a while, women are on top of men, except for the man's head smashed into the ground, and his neck is a little infrared, which gives people a sense of yin and yang.
Ning Hongyu got off Ji Que's body, looked at the upside-down long legs, and wondered, "Ji Que, are you okay?" ”
"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"
As she spoke, she pulled Ji Que out of it.
Ji Que was lying on the ground, and only one outline of Ning Hongyu could be seen in the dim environment.
He had gravel powder all over his forehead, and while sweeping, he complained: "I suspect you are an old ......"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard two voices, Elder Xue and Old Man Luo smashed on his abdomen and calves one after the other.
Ji Que's cheeks twitched, and his face hurt.
These two old guys should be steel and iron bodies, and they smashed his stomach and legs.
Elder Xue and Old Man Luo were startled, and came down from above, Old Man Luo couldn't help but complain: "This is too shallow, Xiao Ji, are you okay?" ”
In the darkness, the three of them looked at Ji Que lying on the ground and didn't speak again, but the meaning expressed in their eyes was obvious-"We really didn't mean it." ”。
Ji Que closed his eyes directly, not wanting to speak.
A real man should silently bear all the gifts of fate.
But it's still quite tiring, especially the heart.
At this time, Ning Hongyu squatted down and said softly: "You are a work-related injury, and you can count it as money." ”
Ji Que sat up suddenly, his eyes lit up and said, "Really? ”
Ning Hongyu had long been accustomed to his reaction and behaved normally, while Elder Xue and Old Man Luo were taken aback.
This young man is so upright that he looks like a corpse.
It was very dark down here, and Elder Xue took out a small glowing lamp.
As the light spread, the appearance of the underground gradually appeared in the eyes of several people.
Is this a Dan room?
It is a mountain cave with moss on the stones and a damp smell.
On the flat ground in the center of the cave is a one-man high Dan furnace.
There were some traces of burning and even slight explosions hanging on the stone steps next to the Dan furnace, but it should have been a long time since the furnace had been opened for alchemy, because there was some moss crawling on it.
Ning Hongyu asked, "Does your sect master have cultivated the Dan Dao?" ”
Elder Xue shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard much about this. ”
Old Man Luo almost stuck his head into the Dan furnace and said, "Even if there is a Dan Dao, why make it so secretive? ”
His meaning is obvious, Dan Dao is not a small way, it has been passed down since ancient times, but in the same way, it is also divided into righteous and evil ways.
This Chen Hanshi has cultivated this Dan room so secretly, I am afraid it is not a serious way.
Elder Xue's face was not good-looking, and he said, "The seniors have something to say. ”
Old man Luo sniffed carefully at the Danbi and said, "There is a smell of corpse oil in this furnace. ”
Elder Xue's face turned pale and said, "How is this possible? ”
Chen Hanshi, the sect leader of the famous sect in the Northern Land, was secretly refining the human pill, which was indeed a cold and terrifying secret.
The next moment, Old Man Luo screamed strangely, almost sat on the ground, and shouted: "Someone, there is someone in the furnace!" ”
He had just suddenly seen a human head in the Dan furnace.
Still blinking!
Elder Xue and Ning Hongyu were nervous when they heard the wind, but the next moment, a dull expression appeared on their faces.
On the other side of the Dan furnace, Ji Que was drilling half of his body inside.
Immediately, he put the strange ruler in again, and soon there was a soft light and a whining wind from inside.
At this time, Ji Que took his head back and analyzed: "Why do I still smell a fishy smell?" ”
Old man Luo reacted and said in shock: "Can you not be so sudden?" ”
Ji Que said with a serious face: "You said it earlier, how did I know that you are so old, respectable, and light-hearted." ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Old man Luo: "......"
At this time, Ning Hongyu had already come to the depths of the Dan Chamber.
Here, there are small pieces of heavenly light spilling down.
Ji Que walked over, and Ning Hongyu asked, "What do you think this place looks like?" ”
Ahead, a long, thick plank of wood was covered with knife marks and dark bloodstains, and on top hung a curved iron hook with clotted blood clots.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and Ji Que replied, "It's like a slaughterhouse." ”
If the space in front of it is like a Dan room because of the Dan furnace, then this place is more inclined to a slaughterhouse.
Looking at the blood stains and knife marks on the long eucalyptus board, you can easily think of the scene of a person dismantling flesh and bones here.
Ji Que could even imagine the cold expression of the man when he was lifting a knife and cutting meat.
In the eyes of outsiders, the old Chen Hanshi is wise and immortal, he is a big man in the clouds of the Northland, and he is the leader of the righteous monks in the Northland.
But in this dark underground, he slaughtered people and other creatures like a butcher, hung their flesh on this iron hook, and used them to refine strange evil elixirs.
And on the wall in front of him, there are blood letters.
The fonts twisted like writhing earthworms, and the sickly feeling seemed to seep through the stone walls.
Ji Que felt that this word was wrong, and it wasn't until he looked at it for a while that he realized that the stone walls were repeating a sentence - "Start the furnace and become an immortal." ”。
I'm afraid this Chen Hanshi is a madman.
Ji Que thought so.
In the gloomy stone room, the small lamp carried by Elder Xue emitted a faint blue light, and the light reflected on the faces of everyone present, looking hairy, Ji Que actually gave birth to the illusion that they were no longer human.
There is a long and narrow path behind this stone room, and after passing it, the whole space is at the bottom.
It was there that they saw one of the most terrifying things in the field.
A layer of fish skin.
The skin of a carp.
The carp skin was the size of an adult, lifelike, and the scales were glowing with cold light.
The point is, it actually has a pair of human-like eyes, and you can clearly see its eyelids and eyelashes.
It just lies there, looking at you quietly like a living thing, and looks at the bottom of people's hairs.
Do fish also molt like snakes?
Why is there such a strange fish skin in Chen Hanshi's secret room?
Ning Hongyu flipped through the mouth of the fish skin and found that there were jagged Senhan teeth hanging on it.
Involuntarily, a terrible thought arose in the minds of several people, but no one said it.
At this time, there were some small vibrations from the placket of Elder Xue's clothes.
She took out the porcelain vase and unplugged it.
I saw that the purple scorpion pounced on the fish skin like crazy, and went straight into the other party's mouth.
It can be determined that this is the thing that killed the deputy sect leader Li Yulin.
A large carp that can molt?
After molting, where did that thing go?
For a moment, no one spoke, and the entire relatively narrow room was silent, and they could hear each other's breathing.
In the end, Ji Que broke the silence and said, "Don't guess, it's Chen Hanshi who has molted." ”
"But ......"
Ning Hongyu said: "There's no need to deceive yourself, Li Yulin's broken mouth was bitten out by such a mouth, I said, he didn't seem to have reacted and was poisoned." At that time, I speculated that he had been attacked, but I didn't think that he might be facing a person he usually trusted, so he was defenseless. ”
"Maybe he wouldn't have thought before he died, this person would suddenly kill him."
Ning Hongyu picked up the fish skin that was almost human-height with a long knife and said, "That person can only be Sect Master Chen Hanshi. ”
Elder Xue still had some difficulty accepting this fact until now.
The famous sect Yunxue Sect, the sect master and the deputy sect master are all evil things?
She couldn't help but ask, "Then where is Chen Hanshi now?" ”
Ji Que said: "At the bottom of the lake, in that well." ”
As he spoke, he looked above the cave wall.
There, among the moss and weeds, there was an inconspicuous hole.
The purple scorpion came out of the skin of the fish at some point and crawled there wet.
