Shen Borong's storage bag didn't have much in it.

This is also normal.

After all, their coming to the Yang Kingdom was an adventure in itself, and it was impossible to bring too many spirit coins and some precious things that they couldn't use, except for some things that they had to bring.

However, Zhou Mingde had already made a huge gain among the relics of the Jindan period monks, so he didn't care much about it.

After rummaging through the storage bag, he quickly found what he was looking for.

It was a jade box, the jade box that Shen Borong had used to hold the talisman treasure before.

At this time, after opening the jade box, the situation inside made Zhou Mingde slightly stunned.

I saw that there was no rune treasure in the jade box that he expected, just an empty box.

It would be inaccurate to say that the box was empty, because there was still a little bit of ash inside.

Where did the ashes come from, of course Zhou Mingde knew it in his heart.

After all, he had also used Fu Bao before, and he knew what would become of Fu Bao Wei when he ran out of energy.

At this time, recalling the situation when Shen Borong hurriedly put the rune treasure into the jade box, it seems that this can also be confirmed from the side.

It's just that this result is undoubtedly far from what Zhou Mingde expected in advance.

He originally thought that there should be a rune treasure inside!

At the beginning, after he saw Shen Borong show the powerful power of the rune treasure, he refused to continue to make persistent efforts to use the rune treasure town to kill the zombies, so he suspected that the other party deliberately kept the rune treasure and used it when he turned his face with him later.

Therefore, when dealing with the blue-faced zombies, he felt that his strength was no longer as good as Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang, so he chose to strike first and attack Shen Borong first.

However, now it seems that Shen Borong's actions at that time were completely bluffing.

The reason why he hurriedly put the rune treasure that was exhausted by power into the jade box was that he wanted to use the tiger skin of this rune treasure to fight for more benefits for himself when he divided the treasure later!

After thinking about all this, Zhou Mingde also sighed with a complicated face: "In this way, the old man has become a villain!" ”

Shen Borong may not be a gentleman.

But in terms of facts, his sneak attack on Shen Borong this time is undoubtedly a real villain.

It is impossible to say that there is no self-reproach in his heart.

But now that everything has been done, even if I now know that I did it wrong, it can only be like this.

After a short period of self-blame, Zhou Mingde put away everything calmly and walked out of the secret room.

He has been practicing for almost three hundred years, and he has seen many winds and waves, and he has done bad things in the eyes of ordinary people more than once.

There is no longer such a situation where you are full of guilt and cannot forgive yourself after doing something bad.

In his eyes, as long as the interests are big enough, it is a matter of killing people and setting fires, and he can do it.

This is also the idea of most monks in the immortal cultivation world.

A person like Zhou Chun who adheres to principles is an extremely rare outlier in the world of cultivating immortals.

After leaving the secret room at this time, Zhou Mingde also quickly called Zhou Chun to the quiet room, and then answered Zhou Chun's previous question.

It's just that when he answered Zhou Chun, he didn't tell the truth about everything.

Although he also said that he attacked Shen Borong based on speculation alone, he kept silent about the fact that he had not found Fu Bao later.

After all, he is Zhou Chun's elder, even if he does bad things, he doesn't want Zhou Chun to know too clearly.

And he understands Zhou Chun's character, if he tells the truth, he is afraid that this matter will make Zhou Chun a little difficult to accept.

In fact, even what he said had already made Zhou Chun's brows furrow.

"Elder Taishang, you are doing this, and the juniors are a little difficult to disagree!"

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Chun still looked at Zhou Mingde and said what he thought in his heart.

Relying only on his own speculation and conjecture, he took the initiative to sneak attack his teammates who were fighting side by side, this kind of thing Zhou Chun would never be able to do.

Even if he has the same speculation in his heart, at most he will quit the team early, or take relevant precautions, and wait until the other party really takes action before making a preemptive move.

In this kind of thing, active harm and passive self-defense are completely two different concepts.

The former is a standard evil, and the latter is a fair and honest act that no one can fault with.

In the face of Zhou Chun's opposition, Zhou Mingde was not angry, but looked at him calmly and said: "Zhengchun, you have your ideas, this is normal, the old man does not necessarily agree with the old man's approach, you must learn from the old man." ”

He said this very lightly, as if he had done nothing wrong.

This made Zhou Chun feel very uncomfortable after hearing it.

Maybe that's the cruelty of this world!

People who do bad things, people who do wrong things, most of the time no one will punish them and judge them.

That's why many people don't have much psychological burden on doing bad things, and they just do it.

"The juniors know!"

With a sigh in his heart, Zhou Chun nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

It is impossible for him to learn from Zhou Mingde, but he can't impose his own ideas on Zhou Mingde.

And maybe seeing that Zhou Chun was in a bad mood, Zhou Mingde didn't tell him about the harvest immediately, but just asked him to go back to rest first.

Then he sorted out the classics he had obtained, and read the beast repellent technique left by the tomb owner.

In the process of sorting out the classics, Zhou Mingde soon made an astonishing discovery.

It turned out that he had found an autobiography of the owner of the tomb in the classics.

According to the owner's autobiography, his real surname is Han, and his single name is Yuan.

The owner of the tomb named Han Yuan is not a person from the Yang Kingdom, but a person from the Di Kingdom, and was born in a sect called Qianlingmen in the Di Kingdom.

The Thousand Spirit Gate is famous for its insect repellent technique in Di Country, and the sect is known to have thousands of spirit insects.

It's just that although Qianlingmen is quite famous in Di Kingdom, it has never produced a Yuan Infant Stage monk, and it has always been just a medium-sized sect about the same size as the Three Peerless Sects.

Han Yuan was originally the deputy master of the Thousand Spirit Gate, and if nothing else, the Thousand Spirit Gate would be in charge of it in the future.

However, because he was too obsessed with collecting all kinds of strange insects and alien insects recorded in the classics of Qianlingmen, and he was too obsessed with cultivating all kinds of strange insects, he violated the taboo of Qianlingmen.

Here we must mention the origin of the sect of Qianlingmen.

The patriarch of this sect was also a man with great aspirations.

He was a victim of a plague of insects, and his entire family was swallowed up by the plague, but only he survived.

Since then, he has been determined to study all kinds of demon insects and study ways to deal with them, so that his own tragedy will not be repeated in others.

And his own qualifications are extraordinary, and there are other opportunities in the future, and he has obtained some inheritance of insect repellent skills.

Later, after he became a monk in the Jindan period, he founded the Thousand Spirits Gate, hoping to cultivate people who could inherit his ambitions and mantle.

After thousands of years of inheritance and development, the descendants of Qianlingmen inherited the legacy of their ancestors and continued to study the art of insect repellent, while also vigorously collecting all kinds of strange insects and alien insects as research objects in the immortal cultivation world.

What outsiders don't know is that during the research process of Qianlingmen, there have been several small-scale insect plagues, which have caused the death of many small people.

As a result, Qianlingmen later formulated rules prohibiting the disciples from engaging in the study of certain forbidden techniques.

But Han Yuan was so obsessed with the study of insect repellent techniques and the cultivation of strange insects and alien insects that he studied some forbidden techniques in disregard of the door rules.

Along with an accident, it was revealed that he was secretly engaged in the study of forbidden arts.

And because of the loss caused by that accident to Qianlingmen, even if Han Yuan was a Jindan period monk and the deputy head, he could not escape punishment.

Not only was he stripped of his position as deputy head, but he was also locked up for a hundred years, forbidden to continue his research.

This punishment is naturally difficult for Han Yuan to accept!

So in order to continue to engage in his unfinished research, he directly chose to break out, and left Qianlingmen and Di Guo with many strange insects and strange insects collected by Qianlingmen, and fled to Yangguo to live in seclusion and study.

Because he was too obsessed with studying the art of cultivating insects, Han Yuan's cultivation finally stopped in the middle of Jindan.

Originally, before his life was exhausted, he was going to return to the Qianlingmen of Di Kingdom to sit and die, and return the treasures and research materials he had collected in his life to the sect.

But what he didn't expect was that Qianlingmen had been destroyed for hundreds of years at this time, and it was a big force that he couldn't fight against at all.

At this point, Han Yuan had no other way but to be sad and sad.

So he returned to Yangguo, found a suitable place to build a mausoleum, built an underground mausoleum for himself, and stored what he had learned all his life in a storage bag.

At that time, he was in a very complicated mood, he didn't want his life's hard work to be ruined, and he didn't want to cheapen outsiders too easily.

Hence the many designs in the underground mausoleum.

What shocked Zhou Mingde was that after reading Han Yuan's autobiography and reading his notes on studying various strange insects and alien insects, he suddenly found that the insect plague that caused chaos in the country was likely to be directly related to Han Yuan.

Because in Han Yuan's research, he used the forbidden technique of the Thousand Spirit Gate to forcibly graft the bloodline of a demon insect called "Thousand Transformation Cricket" onto a demon insect called "Spirit Swallowing Ant".

Although in Han Yuan's own notes, this kind of experiment seemed to have failed.

However, after Zhou Mingde looked at the illustrated books of "Thousand Changing Crickets" and "Spirit Swallowing Ants", he found that the appearance of these two demon insects was somewhat similar to the demon insects that are ravaging the Yang Kingdom today.

I think of this kind of demon insect that no one has ever seen before, no one knows it, and it has the powerful alienation ability of the "Thousand Variation Cricket", and the strong reproduction ability of the "Spirit Devouring Ant".

Zhou Mingde had to make a bold guess that this demon insect was probably the mutant demon insect that Han Yuan had cultivated with the forbidden technique!

After having this guess, he was also shocked in his heart, and then hurriedly studied the classics and his personal autobiography left by Han Yuan.

After another careful study, Zhou Mingde finally found some clues.

According to Han Yuan's records, once after he used the forbidden technique to cultivate a hundred alien eggs, he left for a while because of something temporary.

When he returned, he found that his underground research room had been broken, and many of the demon insects and demon insect eggs in his collection had been devoured by an earthy armor dragon.

】

And the 100 eggs were completely gone.

Afterwards, Han Yuan killed the earth-armored dragon and obtained an earth-armored dragon egg.

At that time, he didn't care too much about the hundred alien eggs that were missing, he just thought that they were all eaten by the earth carapace.

He tried it a few more times, but when he saw that there were no successful examples, he gave up the experiment.

If Zhou Mingde's judgment was not wrong, I am afraid that the hundred insect eggs cultivated by Han Yuan at the beginning were not all devoured by the earth armor dragon, and there were also insect insects that successfully hatched!

According to Han Yuan's own account of this experiment, if the cultivation is successful, the new alien insect should have a strong evolutionary ability and a strong underground survival ability, but whether the reproduction ability can maintain the level of a "spirit devouring ant" is not sure.

In this way, it can be inferred that the alien insect that successfully hatched at the beginning should still have some reproductive defects and cannot reproduce on a large scale.

In recent years, these alien insects that have been slowly reproducing may have made up for the defects in the bloodline and restored the powerful reproduction ability of the "Spirit Devouring Ants" in the process of reproduction and evolution from generation to generation.

As a result, these unknown insects, which had been living underground, suddenly multiplied and grew wildly, and finally formed an insect plague!

"If that's the case, then there's really hope for eradicating this insect plague!"

Zhou Mingde looked at the pile of classics in front of him, and a deep sense of joy appeared in his eyes.

Having finished studying these classics, of course he knew that Han Yuan had prepared the relevant methods to deal with that kind of mutant demon insect before the experiment.

This is also the practice of Qianlingmen.

After many lessons, Qianlingmen instilled relevant concepts in the disciples of the sect since childhood, and before researching and cultivating new demon insect species, no matter whether they can succeed or not, they must do a good job of relevant insect extermination methods according to the bloodline characteristics of the original demon insects.

In this way, once a new variety of demon insects is really cultivated and cannot be controlled, the pre-prepared pest control methods can quickly come in handy.

It may not be entirely appropriate to prepare in advance, but it is certainly useful.

Although Han Yuan broke out of the door at that time, he actually always regarded himself as a member of the Thousand Spirit Sect in his heart, and he had always followed this rule when he was engaged in relevant research experiments.

Therefore, after rummaging, Zhou Mingde quickly found the pest extermination method prepared by Han Yuan at that time.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's the practice of Qianlingmen.

The insect extermination method prepared by Han Yuan is to use poison!

This poison formula is prepared for the bloodline characteristics of the two demon insects of "Thousand Variation Cricket" and "Spirit Swallowing Ant", and when dealing with the two demon insects, they are all tried and tested, and they can easily kill the demon insects of the corresponding strength according to the dose.

In other words, now Zhou Mingde only needs to mix poison according to the several poison formulas prepared by Han Yuan, and then test the medicine with the demon insects he caught, so that he can know whether the poison formula is useful for the demon insects.

"This matter has to be discussed with Zhengchun, if it is really feasible, my Zhou family will send it!"

With joy surging in his eyes, Zhou Mingde soon called Zhou Chun to the quiet room with great joy and informed Zhou Chun of his discovery.
