Chapter 161: Soul Puppet

As I continued to move along the map, the aura I could feel became more and more intense, and it was just the time to practice to let these monsters practice, and their strength could be improved a little bit. Of course, Li Xiuping didn't dare to delay too much time, after all, the entire Penglai Xianzhou opened for about three months, and they had already used up five days, and they had only finished walking the places marked on the map.

Li Xiuping didn't want to be like everyone else, staying in this Penglai Xianzhou, waiting for the next hundred years before going out.

After staying like this for a while, Li Xiuping's brows furrowed suddenly, and his eyes looked to the side.

At the end of the line of sight, someone was rushing towards this side at this moment, and from time to time they would attack the rear, obviously encountering some danger.

Those youkai obviously felt the change over there, and they all looked in that direction at this moment, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Because of the distance, it is not clear how many people there are, but the number of people is not very large, and it should not exceed ten.

Li Xiuping's divine sense perception is not weak, so although he can't see the specific number of people, he can feel that the strength of these people is not very strong, and they are in the foundation building period.

In other words, these people should be monks on the human side, that is, the disciples of the sect who entered Penglai Xianzhou this time.

Li Xiuping couldn't help but be a little curious, because he felt that the monks on the human side should be able to come together, why are there so many people now?

Did the rest of the people not come in, or was there something that caused the human monks to disperse?

In confusion, those people had approached, and they were all extremely embarrassed, and many of them were still injured.

There were seven of them, all dressed in different attire, apparently from different sects.

In fact, after the selection of the Immortal Ascension Conference, there are very few people who enter Penglai Xianzhou from the same sect, even those hidden sects, and there are few cases of entering Penglai Xianzhou together.

First of all, the disciples recruited by those hidden sects are all geniuses among geniuses, most of them have already married early, and they do not have the conditions to enter Penglai Xianzhou, and some disciples in the foundation building period are too young, and the elders of the sect are not at ease to let them enter Penglai Xianzhou, just in their own sect, it is difficult to select suitable candidates, let alone pass the screening of the immortal ascension conference.

After these people saw Li Xiuping and others, they were like seeing a life-saving straw, and their speed suddenly accelerated a lot.

Li Xiuping's face was heavy at the moment, because behind these people, there was something that Li Xiuping had never seen before.

Li Xiuping not only hadn't seen it, but he couldn't even feel the breath of this thing, or it couldn't be regarded as a living existence at all, just like a piece of clothing that was held up by something and then blown to this side by the wind.

But it was real, and it was clearly aggressive.

Li Xiuping never expected to encounter such a situation, but it was too late to say anything at this moment, those human monks had already come to him, and the unknown thing that was chasing them had also come to him, and directly attacked them.

Li Xiuping's attention had been staring at that thing, but at this moment, he saw that the two sleeves of the thing suddenly floated up, and then two majestic forces flew out directly from his sleeve robe.

Although this thing attacks, it has no clear goal, as if it is attacking indiscriminately.

Li Xiuping could feel that the offensive of this thing was not weak, and ordinary monks in the foundation building period couldn't resist it at all, and these people were able to escape all the way here, I am afraid that it was related to this kind of targetless attack.

Li Xiuping put aside all his thoughts, stepped forward directly, and the firewood knife also appeared directly in his hand, and then condensed the sword intent on the firewood knife, swung forward twice, and dissolved the attack of the thing, and then rushed directly towards the thing without any stop.

Judging from the previous aura and the attack from this thing, this thing only has the strength of the Jindan stage at most, so it shouldn't cause him any danger.

Although Li Xiuping doesn't even know what this thing is now, he has no choice but to kill this thing now.

As Li Xiuping continued to get closer to the thing, the thing seemed to be unaware of the danger at all, and still stood still, just like before, sending out two attacks from his sleeve robe, and the strength of the attacks was the same as before.

Li Xiuping still used the firewood knife to easily defuse the attack of this thing, and then accelerated his speed to get close to this thing, poured the sword intent into the firewood knife, and slashed at this thing.

As Li Xiuping's knife fell, the sword intent instantly pressed the thing to the ground, and then as if it couldn't withstand the pressure of the sword intent, it exploded directly.

After this thing exploded, a strange aura rushed out directly to the surroundings, with an aura that made Li Xiuping feel dangerous.

Li Xiuping didn't dare to be careless, and his body quickly retreated backwards to avoid being affected by that breath.

After dodging the impact of that breath, Li Xiuping fell to the ground, his eyes staring at the dust in front of him, not daring to be careless.

As the dust slowly fell, there was nothing on the ground except for the broken strips of cloth.

Li Xiuping frowned, and after investigating with his divine sense, and after making sure that nothing existed, he set his eyes on those people and monks.

At this moment, those human monks were all shocked, and they didn't seem to expect that this young man would be able to easily kill that monster.

Li Xiuping asked directly: "What is this?" ”

Li Xiuping asked, everyone came back to their senses, and one of the monks shook his head and said, "We don't know, not long after entering Penglai Xianzhou, we encountered these things, and the team also dispersed. ”

Li Xiuping frowned and said, "There are a lot of such things? ”

The monk nodded, and replied, "There must be hundreds." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, fell into thought, and asked after a while, "Where did you get separated?" ”

He didn't know how to find Xu Bansheng and Chen Wanrong before, but now that he met these human monks, it means that he can meet Xu Bansheng and Chen Wanrong.

The monk replied, "We don't remember exactly, but after we got separated from the team, we were chased here by this thing, and we didn't pay attention to the road." ”

At this time, a female cultivator suddenly asked, "Are you that Li Xiuping?" ”

Li Xiuping glanced at her and nodded.

This female cultivator was looked at by Li Xiuping, and was immediately a little shy, but she still smiled and said, "It's amazing!" ”

Li Xiuping smiled slightly, then looked at the monk who had spoken earlier, and asked, "Do you know one named Chen Wanrong and the other named Xu Bansheng?" ”

Unexpectedly, the monk shook his head.

At this time, it was the female cultivator who spoke: "Is Chen Wanrong the one who is going to Kunlun Mountain to practice?" ”

Li Xiuping looked at her again and nodded.

This female cultivator didn't show a shy expression this time, and said, "There shouldn't be any danger for them to follow that senior brother from Kunlun Mountain." ”

Li Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not much easier.

The threat of that thing before was not small, at least it had the strength of the Jindan period, and this time it entered Penglai Xianzhou, the strongest was only the Xudan period, if you really want to encounter this kind of thing, you may not be able to win, the key is that these people also said that there are a lot of such things.

Li Xiuping glanced at these human monks again, and then said, "I plan to go to them, what are your plans?" ”

The human monks were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

They had seen the horror of those monsters, and now they finally got rid of them, but they asked them to go back, and it would be false to say that they were not afraid.

But now that they are separated from the team, there may be dangers in this Penglai Immortal Boat that they can't deal with at any time, and with such a powerful person as Li Xiuping, he can indeed get a lot of guarantees, not to mention that Li Xiuping still has so many demon monks by his side.

The monk who spoke earlier said: "Although we can't remember the specific location, we still remember the general direction, if Li Gongzi doesn't dislike it, we can lead the way, but we can't guarantee whether we can find them." ”

If you want to follow Li Xiuping, if you want to be protected by Li Xiuping and these monsters, you have to reflect their value, and now their only value is to lead the way.

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "It's okay, as long as you can remember the general direction." ”

Although Penglai Xianzhou is very large, as long as you know the specific direction and look for it all the way, you can still find it sooner or later.

The situation on this Penglai Xianzhou is far more complicated than previously thought, so find Xu Bansheng and Chen Wanrong as soon as possible, and Li Xiuping can also feel at ease as soon as possible.

The monk nodded, "Then are we going to leave now?" ”

Li Xiuping glanced at these people again and said, "Don't worry, you better deal with the wounds first, and then hurry tomorrow morning." ”

These human monks didn't seem to expect that Li Xiuping would care about their injuries, saluted and thanked them, and then said no more, directly found a place to sit down, each took out some healing pills, swallowed them, and began to close their eyes and breathe.

After these people sat down, Li Xiuping waved his hand at those monsters, signaling them to continue cultivating, and then he himself walked forward.

There, there were still some broken strips of cloth on the ground, and Li Xiuping wanted to confirm what that thing was just now.

As Li Xiuping walked to the place where he had killed the thing before, after searching for a while, he still found nothing, as if nothing had appeared, and those strips of cloth were as if they were already here.

Li Xiuping was puzzled, and bent down to pick up a strip of cloth.

The strips of cloth are very old, obviously so old that they have become a little rotten, and they will break if you twist them a little hard with your fingers.

The cloth strip is just an ordinary cloth strip, but the material should be from a certain sect, but unfortunately there is no residual breath on it.

Li Xiuping sent the strip of cloth to his nose and sniffed it gently, except for a smell of decay, there was nothing else.

Li Xiuping threw away the strip of cloth, turned around and walked back, then found a place to sit down, took out the previous set of swordsmanship, and continued to study.

There was no word all night until dawn.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of those human monks, Li Xiuping and countless monsters headed directly to the north.

It was probably because of the monks who had walked this path before, so there was no danger.

Li Xiuping was really a little curious, so he asked, "What chased you last night, you haven't seen a similar record in the classics of the sect?" ”

All the monks were stunned, then looked at each other, and then one of the monks replied, "It's like a resentful spirit recorded in the classics, but it's different from a resentful spirit, so we don't know what it is." ”

The female cultivator said at this time: "It should be a resentful spirit, but unlike a real resentful spirit, it is like a divine soul left behind by something that has corroded their physical body, and even the memory of the divine soul has been extracted......"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "It's like a puppet without thinking, but it's not a physical puppet, it's a soul puppet." ”

Li Xiuping frowned slightly, this was the first time he had heard of this, so he looked at the Ming nun and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The nun hesitated for a moment, then continued, "My master said before that there is a kind of evil magic in the Demon Dao that can drive people's souls, and the spirits that are driven are similar to the ones we encountered before. ”

"The Devil's Way?" Li Xiuping's brows furrowed even deeper.

Regarding the word "demon", it is actually not unfamiliar in the cultivation world, but it is not very familiar, at least Li Xiuping is not clear.

Generally speaking, as long as it is evil, or it is not recognized by the righteous path, it will be called a demon, and this statement is most common in Taoism and Buddhism, among which there is a demon in the heart.

Li Xiuping had always been in such a small place in Qingyang County before, learning all kinds of sword-casting knowledge with Mr. Ou Ye every day, and had almost no contact with the outside world, let alone the cultivation world, although he had heard Mr. Ou Ye say a lot of things about the outside world and the cultivation world, but he only roughly talked about those sects and the so-called cultivation realm.

In addition to hearing some deeds from Mr. Ouye, that is, when he occasionally went into the city to buy things, Li Xiuping would also sneak to some restaurants with storytellers, and heard that storytellers told about the outside world and the deeds of those immortals who flew around.

Later, although he entered the Night Division, in addition to dealing with demon beasts every day, he also dealt with those people in the Night Division, and what he saw every day, in addition to death or death, even if there was some occasional conversation, the kind of appearance he talked about was also related to demon beasts.

Later, when he left Qingyang County and went to Huayang Sect to practice, he came into contact with a lot of new things in the cultivation world, but he really had no contact with the demon, and even in the classics of Huayang Sect, there was no record.

The female cultivator nodded at this time and said, "I heard that the Demon Dao was exterminated by the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as early as three thousand years ago, and some records related to the Demon Dao were also destroyed, so there is today's peaceful and prosperous world." ”

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I see? ”

He continued: "According to your meaning, in this Penglai Immortal Boat, there are people from the Demon Dao? ”

Some people died, but not completely......
