Volume 1 The Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 9 Humans are more terrible than demons

In the Medicine Master's Temple, Yun Que ordered all the Taoists to gather in the courtyard.

There are more than a dozen people in total, all of whom are not very old, and the eyes of these people are blank, like marionettes.

Only an older Taoist always hung his head and his eyes were evasive.

Command the rest of the men to disperse.

Yun Que came to the elder Taoist and said, "What about the woman who came here, lead the way." ”

The Daoist's expression was obviously flustered, he secretly glanced at the Medicine Daoist, and saw that he didn't give instructions as if he acquiesced to Yun Que's questioning, so he had to nod again and again, and led the way to a rockery in the backyard of the Medicine Master's Temple.

The Taoist fumbled to press the mechanism, and after a muffled sound, the secret door opened.

It turns out that this rockery is a passage.

"You go first." Yun Que commanded.

The Taoist led the way in front with his head bowed, and soon came to a stone door.

When the stone door opened, a fishy smell suddenly came to the face!

The man dodged in first, but he didn't know what he had stuffed into his mouth, and after eating it, he rolled to the side, curled up in the corner and didn't move.

It was a spacious secret room, very simple, with only a stone bed and a stone table.

There was an oil lamp on the table.

In the dim light, a dry skeleton could be seen sitting on the stone bed.

The essence of the medicine man!

Yun Que guessed correctly, the medicine Dao person's body was dead.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The sound of spitting letters appeared, and one by one the hideous snakes crawled out of the darkness of the secret room!

These strange snakes were covered in silver scales, their eyes were scarlet, and they exuded a cold, rotten aura.

As the snake appeared, the white bones piled up in the corners around it were squeezed, making an overwhelming crunching sound.

It turns out that the woman who was robbed to the Medicine Master Temple has already become food for these strange snakes!

"Not your average snake."

Lao He was waiting with a knife and a solemn expression.

Although he occupied the body of the medicine man, he could not command these strange snakes.

"Demon Beast ......"

Yun Que could feel the terrifying aura from the strange snake.

Under the siege of such a large number of demon beasts, low-level Qi Refining Realm cultivators had no way to survive.

These demon snakes are used by the medicine people to protect the bones of their bodies.

When it encounters a living person, it will be devoured.

The underground secret room of the Medicine Master Temple has long become a dead place!

"It seems that what you eat can seal your own breath, you already knew there was a snake demon here." Yun Que glanced at the Taoist who was curled up in the corner.

"Whoever you are, don't try to get out alive." The Taoist let out a slight voice, and his tone was full of schadenfreude.

Although there are many snake demons, they all surround Yun Que and turn a blind eye to the Taoist in the corner.

The body of the medicine man occupied by Lao He is a dead thing, so the snake demon is not interested.

Yun Que is a big living person, and he immediately became the preferred target of the snake demon.

Lao He stood in the way, ready to fight to the death.

Facing the surrounding demon beasts, Yun Que ran the sword vein.

"I don't know how to close the breath yet, but my breath, presumably the snake demon won't like it."

When the sword qi was emanated, the snake demon that had already crawled to his feet suddenly did not move, and then shrank his body like an electric shock and fled one after another.

For the sword qi that contained the power of death, the snake demon would rather starve to death than taste it.

The snake demon's strange behavior shocked the Taoist people in the corner.

He himself consumed the Qi Holding Pill given by the Medicine Dao Man, which would not cause the attack of the snake demon.

But I never thought that the young man opposite didn't eat anything, and he could make the snake demon frightened and retreat!

Isn't he alive?

The Taoist was in shock, and Yun Que came to him, and the long sword in his hand was slowly raised.

"Tell me everything you know."

"I say! I say! ”

The Taoist honestly explained everything.

It turned out that he was the master of the Medicine Master's Temple, and a few years ago, this place was occupied by the Medicine Dao people, and he became the servant of the Medicine Dao people, and was usually responsible for feeding the snake demon here.

As for the origin of the medicine man, he didn't know anything.

Kicking a skeleton at his feet, Yun Que said with a smile: "It's just feeding snakes, but it's all about young women, you don't seem to be very interested in women." ”

The medicine Taoist is just a doppelganger, and he has no internal organs, to be exact, he is neither male nor female, and he doesn't care about men and women.

The Taoist was embarrassed for a while, and said, "Young women are more delicate, and snake demons prefer to eat." ”

"You like it better."

Yun Que picked up the skeleton and said with a smile: "How is it, is their taste sour or sweet, bitter or spicy?" ”

"This ......"

The Taoist is speechless.

With a click, Yun Que broke off a bone from the skeleton and poked it directly into the Daoist's mouth.

"Eat it all and tell me how it tastes."

Sen Sen's words were like ghost words, and the Taoist trembled all over, not daring to spit it out, gritting his teeth and gnawing on the white bones, and a mouthful of blood.

Yun Que began to examine the bones of the stone bed.

Rummage through a few things.

A wooden box, a vial, a token.

There are ten finger-length mini swords in the wooden box, and they are not low in grade at first glance.

The token is small and extremely sturdy, with a snake engraved on the front and a circle of zodiac signs on the back.

The vial was heavy, and he didn't know what it contained, so Yun Que didn't rush to open it.

Other than that, there was nothing else near the bones.

After looking for it a few times, Yun Que frowned slightly.

In the realm of medicine people, I'm afraid there are more than these things.

The miniature sword in the wooden box is just a magic weapon, and it looks more like a bait used to deceive the greedy for money.

With such a level of treasure, plus the surrounding snake demons, if it were replaced by others, they might have left with their harvest long ago.

But the cloud is different!

He is a marquis, and he has seen too much gold, silver and jewelry when he was a child, and he has enough determination even in the face of the resources of the cultivation world.

Coupled with the fact that the snake demons around him were now afraid of him, not a threat, so he had enough time to find the treasure of the medicine man.

The entire chamber was searched, but nothing was found.

Yun Que finally set his eyes on the bones themselves.

Raising his hand to grab the skeleton, Yun Que ran the sword vein.

The sword qi flowed down the palm of his hand and invaded the bones, quickly enveloping them.

"Sword Qi Perception! The young master is really a genius in sword cultivation. The old river next to him was full of relief.

It's only been a day's work, and the little marquis who has just entered the way of the sword has already mastered such a profound method, how can Lao He not like it.

Soon, Yun Que noticed the difference.

He grabbed a section of the skeleton's spine and tore it off.

Spread out the palm of your hand, in the broken bones, a small sword body is ready to move, like a living thing!

Ritual artifacts don't move on their own.

What can chirp and even tremble on its own must be a magic weapon containing majestic aura!

The sword body is printed with the word 'snake'.

The cunning medicine man actually hid the real treasure in the vertebrae.

"Good stuff!"

Yun Que's heart was happy.

After making sure that there were no more foreign objects, he came to the Taoist in the corner.

"What does it smell like?"

Yun Que still asked with a smile, but his smile was like ice.

The bloody Taoist shook his head in horror, indicating that there was no taste.

Yun Que swung his sword and cut a few wounds on this person's body, looked at the dripping blood, and said clearly:

"Yes, it smells of death."

Bang.

The stone door is closed.

Due to the continuous bleeding, the Taoist exuded the breath of a living person, and the pill he had taken before was completely ineffective, and the snake demons in the secret room raised their heads and spat out letters.

Soon, there was a terrible howl and a terrifying devouring sound from inside the stone gate.

"Dead dogs." Lao He scolded angrily: "This kind of scum should be skinned and cramped and lit the sky lantern!" ”

Yun Que walked in the deep passage, and he couldn't see his expression, only heard the whispers of the faint voice.

"People are always more terrible than demons."
