After being taught the Dao method and receiving the mention of the ghost and god surnamed Du, Yu Lie returned to the room and immediately began the tense Dan furnace refining.

At the same time, he also took out most of the unused belongings in his hand and put them in the lobby to trade, even if he would rather suffer a loss, he would exchange them for materials that are scarce in this world, but are quite important for Taoists.

In this way, Yu Lie participated in the refining of the law while preparing, and lived an extremely regular life.

The time lasted for a long time, two months passed, and the situation in the dark castle was okay, and Yu Lie began to wonder if the hint of the ghost surnamed Nadu was misunderstood by himself.

this day.

Yu Lie received the message from the soul detainer under his command, and after recuperating in the Dan room for a long time, he stepped out of the door again and walked into the lobby, wanting to get rid of the pills he had been refining over time.

But as soon as he went out today, he was keenly aware of the atmosphere in the dark castle, and there were some changes in the past.

As an native, the Soul Girl could not understand the language of the Mountains and Seas Realm, and could not perceive anything, so Yu Lie walked to his stall and asked a Taoist who was selling charms next to him.

He said in a low voice: "Old Deng, how is the business lately, but there has been another change in the dark castle?" ”

The Taoist who peddled the talisman was surnamed Deng Mingluogu, who was between twenty and thirty years old, of medium height, but his face was old, he looked like he was forty years old, and his hair was still thin, and he looked quite raunchy.

Although this person is a person in the rune path, he belongs to the turbidity current in the rune path, and he is a rune that relies on foreign objects to enter the runway, otherwise, the other party will not come to participate in this survival assessment.

Yu Lie is a Dan Dao person, Deng Luogu is a Fu Dao Zhong person, both of them are craftsmen, they have been photographed since the first month of the assessment, and they have recently become neighbors in the stall, so the relationship is not bad.

And Deng Luogu's personality is a little stingy, but compared with other Taoists with a thin heart, it is much better, so Yu Lie is also happy to communicate with each other on weekdays, and he also took the initiative to give each other a few pills.

Seeing Yu Lie coming over, the other party turned his head to look left and right a few times, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said:

"Yu Daoyou's eyes are sharp, if you don't go out for a few days, you can notice something wrong as soon as you go out. Something did happen in the Bunker, but not inside the Bunker, but outside.

I heard that the death and casualty rate of the Daoists who went out hunting recently has doubled, and the undead creatures outside seem to have gone crazy, and their ferocity has increased greatly......"

】

After listening carefully to Deng Luogu's narration, Yu Lie's heart was vigilant.

In the past, as immortals, the Taoists had many means, and all of them had mana, which was equivalent to the immortals in this realm, and when they walked in the wild, there were basically few indigenous creatures who dared to take the initiative to provoke. Only the Daoists provoke other beings, and very few other beings provoke the Daoists.

And now, according to what Deng Luogu said, the indigenous creatures seem to have changed their temperament drastically, and they have begun to take the initiative to hunt down Taoist disciples!?

Yu Lie frowned and thought about it, and said, "Old Deng, what you said is serious, is there any evidence?" ”

Deng Luogu snorted when he heard Yu Lie's suspicions, he sat cross-legged on his stall, clasped his hands to his chest, and muttered, "Believe it or not." ”

This person's personality is like this, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship with Yu Lie was acceptable, maybe he wouldn't have bothered to say a word.

Yu Lie laughed dumbly when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Yu is abrupt." Today, there is just a furnace of blood pill refining, just baked, Lao Deng, you can help taste it, appreciate it. ”

As he spoke, he threw a black and red pill over to Deng Luogu's side.

Deng Luogu, who was originally stiff and too lazy to pay attention to Yu Lie, opened his eyes again in an instant, caught it, and said, "Hey, your Yu Daoyou's craftsmanship, our group of Taoists can see it, thank you." ”

In the lobby, the two continued to greet each other, and did not lower their voices anymore.

In fact, even if the voice is lowered, the Taoist disciples passing by can hear it as long as they want to hear it.

Among them, there was a thin Taoist carrying bloody materials on his back, wandering through the hall, as if he had noticed the conversation between Yu Lie and the two, and the other party listened carefully for a while, and then walked over.

This person walked up to Yu Lie, and let Yu Lie and Deng Luogu's greetings come to an abrupt end.

Deng Luogu saw the other party, raised his eyebrows, gave Yu Lie a look, and then retracted back to his stall, where the old god was meditating.

Only the other party's voice was transmitted, and it still sounded in Yu Lie's ears: "This guy is a ruthless character, his butt is not clean, Yu Daoyou, you can take it easy." ”

Yu Lie heard it, but only nodded, indicating that he knew.

He didn't refuse the Taoist disciple who came over, but stood up and arched his hand towards the other party: "I've seen Zhuang Daoyou, I don't know what I liked?" ”

The Taoist who came over was none other than Zhuang Chong, the thin Taoist who had several relationships with Yu Lie, and finally became the follower of Fangmen, and successfully escaped.

This person returned to the dark castle, as expected, because only the other party returned, which attracted the suspicion of the Taoists in the dark castle.

Especially when the ghost god released the task of collecting the corpse and determined that Fang Men and the two were dead, the disciples of the Dark Castle suspected that Zhuang Chong killed Fang Men and the others in the outer pit.

After all, many people knew about Fang Men's acquisition of medicine in the dark castle, and they all coveted Fang Men's net worth. Therefore, no matter how Zhuang Chong explains, he can't get rid of the doubts on his body.

Even if some people believe that the three of them had an accident outside, Zhuang Chong is innocent, but the Fang family behind the square gate is not easy to provoke, and many people choose to keep their distance from Zhuang Chong.

In this way, Zhuang Chong finally escaped back to the dark castle, but he was isolated and excluded by most of the Taoists. Although no fool jumped out to take the initiative to avenge Fangmen, Zhuang Chong's life was still not easy, and there were problems in ordinary transactions and teamwork, and he became a complete lone wolf.

Zhuang Chong saw Yu Lie get up and bow his hand, and hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen Yu Daoyou." ”

After a pause, Zhuang Chong said: "Don't hide it from Yu Daoyou, Zhuang went out to see some information on this trip, or he has some understanding of the changes in the outside world, but I don't know if Yu Daoyou is willing to believe it." ”

"Huh?" Yu Lie became interested, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately nodded: "Zhuang Dao is friendly, please say it!" ”

Seeing that Yu Lie was willing to listen, Zhuang Chong didn't have any control, and immediately said:

"After months of adaptation, the creatures in this realm have become familiar with the true qi of our Daoists, and they are no longer as afraid as before, and some creatures have even learned to absorb the true qi. To tell you the truth, when the poor road came back, he also encountered a huge thing in the outside world, which was not a giant or a giant beast, but a patchwork of strange flesh and blood, which was terrifying ......and terrifying."

A detailed explanation came out of the other party's mouth, making Yu Lie's eyes squint slightly.

In the end, Zhuang Chong said affirmatively: "The rumors are definitely not false!" The creatures of this realm have already begun to consciously hunt and kill us, and I also ask Yu Daoyou to prepare as soon as possible. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Chong stood still and watched Yu Lie's reaction.

And after listening to the other party's narration, combined with the previous mention of the ghost surnamed Du, he actually believed eight or nine points in his heart.

He nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Zhuang." ”

The other party has already said everything, and Yu Lie has nothing to interrogate, so he turned the conversation, pointed to the materials that the other party was carrying, and said with a smile:

"Is the bone in Brother Zhuang's hand going to be shot? I don't know how much it costs? ”

Zhuang Chong saw that Yu Lie listened to his words, and his senses for Yu Lie in his heart were much better, and at this time, seeing Yu Lie asking the price so well, his numb expression turned into a few stiff smiles.

Zhuang Chong said a little stiffly: "Brother Yu is a kind person, you can make a price, you don't need to use spirit stones or money to remember the merit talisman, just exchange it for the pill refined in Brother Yu's hands." ”

"Is that the same as before?" Yu Lie nodded.

"Yes, half of the one that assists in cultivation and increases qi and blood."

In the lobby, Yu Lie took the bones and flesh that the other party was carrying, knocked, knocked and weighed, and then skillfully took out two small medicine bottles, each containing ten, and handed them to the other party.

Zhuang Chong looked at Yu Lie's administration, his eyelids jumped, he held it in his hand, and hesitated for a while: "This, Daoyou is giving too much?" ”

Yu Lie replied with a smile: "Is it much?" Not much. ”

After a pause, Yu Lie casually mentioned: "When the assessment began, I had a relationship with Brother Zhuang and his son. Since it is fate, Brother Zhuang told me so kindly, a few more should be regarded as making friends. ”

Zhuang Chong's face was originally only restrained, embarrassed to accept Yu Lie's kindness, worried that he would leave a calculated impression on Yu Lie. As a result, I heard Yu Lie say such words, especially the mention of the word "father and son".

Suddenly, the bumpy experience of months was tumbling in Zhuang Chong's mind.

The other party pinched the medicine bottle and saluted Yu Lie with a straight face:

"Thank you! I wish Brother Yu a smooth assessment. ”

In the end, Zhuang Chong looked at Yu Lie a few times, and seemed to remember Yu Lie's appearance clearly before leaving.

The other party's behavior made Yu Lie a little uncomfortable, wondering if he had made such a move, which made the other party suspicious.

It is said that when the other Taoists were a little excluded from Zhuang Chong, Yu Lie was different from the rest of the Taoists because he knew the inside story and thought that the other party was innocent of the blame, and he did not shy away from doing business at all, but he was not friendly, just a fair trade and no refusal to come.

Now that he saw the other party's kindness to remind himself, he sent such a kindness, and it seemed that he had gained the other party's deep gratitude.

Yu Lie thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he suppressed these thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, he sat cross-legged on the stall, hung up the pill in his hand, and every time a Taoist disciple came to ask about the pill, he would take the opportunity to have a few words with the other party and ask about the things inside and outside the dark castle.

After less than a day's effort, Yu Lie quickly finished disposing of the pill in his hand, left a few words for the soul girl, and hurried back to the room.

In the lobby, the inconspicuous soul girl next to her waited until Yu Lie's figure completely left before she withdrew her gaze.

The flame in her eyes danced, and it suddenly darkened a lot.

However, the soul girl didn't make any extra moves, she just obediently squatted in the lobby, clasped her hands on her knees, and continued to look at the room full of strangers and others, listening to the obscure language in the hall, waiting for the possibility that a Taoist might come over and get a chance to go and pass the word to Yu Lie.

………………………………

The other side.

Yu Lie returned to the Danfang, pondering what he had seen and heard about today's exit, and after combing through it, he determined the secret passage:

"This place should not stay for a long time, or it may not be possible to stay for a long time!"

According to what he learned from the inquiry, he was now sure that the creatures of the Hideous Dragon Court World had an adaptive change to the Daoists, and he could still obtain unexpected benefits by faintly killing the Daoists.

Because some Taoist disciples who often carry corpses say that the corpses of Taoist disciples who have been brought back recently are often mutilated, their bodies are also shriveled, and all the goods on their bodies have been looted, and the bags of goods are either missing or exploded.

Such signs undoubtedly prove that the situation of the Taoists in this realm is about to change, and it is possible to change from the status of hunters to the status of prey.

And the Dark Fortress is the foothold of the Taoists, although it shelters everyone, it is also the place where the Taoists gather the most. Once the creatures of this realm begin to deal with the Daoists and form a wave, this is the place where the other party will inevitably come.

Others may still doubt this, but Yu Lie has been reminded by the ghost surnamed Du, so he doesn't doubt it at all.

He paced through the room, thinking, when suddenly he took a skull from his sleeve and threw it in front of him:

"Fortunately, the Dan Furnace Sacrifice has already been almost, and it can be completely completed in a few days."

The skull was upside down, grayish-white, skeletal, suspended in mid-air, and it looked very ordinary on the outside, but a golden flame was burning inside, quite vigorous.

Yu Lie also sat down cross-legged, holding a skull about the size of his own head with one hand, and took out the materials he had just exchanged from the lobby.

One by one, bones thicker than human legs were stuffed into the skulls of size, and flesh, heart and liver and other things the size of cats and dogs were also carried into it by him.

The skull rotates upside down, swelling itself with every bone or flesh ingested, with no sign of bursting.

At the end, the skull, which was as big as an ox, landed in the middle of the room, which was quite noticeable.

This skull was made from the small skull cup that used the "embryonic formula" sacrifice.

It has been nourished by Yu Lie for two months, and the qi and blood are connected, and it has already initially possessed the role of a Dan furnace, which can accept the mobilization of true qi, can be reduced into the stomach, and the body can be large or small, which can facilitate Yu Lie to refine various pills.

Now it is only the last step, shaping the body, and completely determining the appearance of the Dan furnace, even if the sacrifice is successful, it can be used to open the furnace for alchemy.

Yu Lie stared at the huge skull pill furnace in front of him, pondering:

"What shape should it be?"

Although the shape of the Dan furnace has no effect on the effect, after the rough embryo is successfully refined, it is best not to modify it, otherwise it is easy to destroy the spirit patterns that will be sacrificed in it again and again in the future, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And the white bone pill furnace in front of him, if it is in the form of a skull, it seems to be a little gloomy and infiltrating, lacking a fairy spirit.

Yu Lie tangled in his heart:

"Is it a three-legged tripod or a four-legged tripod...... Or a gourd, a bowl, or an incense burner? ”
