Chapter 208: Secret Arts
As the number of ghosts outside the stone house became smaller and smaller, Jiang Yi and a group of them were no longer satisfied with closing the door and beating the dog, so they took the initiative to open the stone door and come to the outside world; The surrounding Yin Soul has decreased a lot, and they began to attack together, hoping to find a high-level Yin Soul again, but unfortunately they searched around, but they didn't encounter another one.
The light in the space became clearer and clearer, and the surrounding ghosts gradually disappeared, Jiang Yi and a group of them, they could clearly see the way they came, and if they went up the hillside, there were still seven or eight stone houses on both sides, including the stone hall on the top, and they decided to search the past one by one.
After going through so much, everyone decided to act in unison and take care of each other in case of accidents; The most important thing is that there is only a group of them in the secret realm, and it will not take long to act together.
In front of the next stone house, the same dilapidated stone house, standing strong, has experienced the baptism of time, and has never succumbed. Jiang Yi stretched out his hand to open the stone door, the house that no one lived in for a long time was full of dust and musty smell, after a while, Jiang Yi cast a few dust-repelling tricks to clean up the inside, and walked in, a few stone boxes were placed on the stone table at random, and the dry bones on the innermost stone bed had been scattered a large piece, two swarthy iron chains, and the fox hung on the wall.
Jiang Yi directly sacrificed the true fire in his body, and burned straight to the dry bones on the stone bed, and unexpectedly surprised a thin black mist, and the black mist that struggled for a moment finally gathered out of the human form, and it took a long time to let out an old voice: "Who am I?" Where is this? ”
It's a pity that no one present can give an answer.
Black Mist looked at the hazy figure in front of him, and then looked at the dry bones on the stone bed, when the two black iron chains entered the induction, it couldn't help but tremble, quickly moved away from a distance, and the body gathered together was thinner, until he found that there was no danger, he quieted down, he used all his strength, his memory was blurred, and he couldn't connect together, and it took a long time before he let out a faint sigh: "Zile Pingsheng Road, between the Yanluo stone caves." The wilderness is more open, and it is accompanied by white clouds. There is a road that does not lead to the world, and there is no intention to climb it. The stone bed sits alone at night, and the full moon rises out of the cold mountain. ”
After repeating it several times, the black mist became thinner and thinner, and finally dissipated into the air.
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Yi packed up all the dry bones on the stone bed, and when he arrived in the outside world, he found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, erected a wordless monument, and engraved the nameless ancient poems that the black fog had recited, and he did his best. Then, he tore off the chains from the walls and put them in the storage ring.
The stone box on the stone table, after being opened by everyone, was empty, and everyone was mentally prepared.
Next, five or six stone houses were connected, and when they were opened one by one, there was nothing but a pair of black iron chains.
When everyone stood in front of the last stone hall, and happened to meet Yi Yuan and them unexpectedly, Lu Yunfeng deliberately straightened his face and said: "Yi Yuan, it's good to hide for so long, then follow everyone, stay honestly, don't run around." ”
Yi Yuan hurriedly agreed, but his eyes were staring at the package hanging on his uncle Lu Yunfeng's back, he hesitated, and said: "Uncle, you are too tired to carry a big package, and my nephew will help you share it." ”
Lu Yunfeng's eyes were stunned, but he was also very willing in his heart, at that time, he agreed to others as soon as his brain was hot, and he was a little afraid when he thought about it later, fortunately, nothing happened along the way, with Yi Yuan helping him to hold it, he was still more relieved, even if he wanted to take off the package, he heard a faint sigh coming out: "Little friend, the old man has no malicious intent, wait for the secret realm of the Ghost Hidden Sect, and then take a look at the scenery outside, but I lost my last wish, I voluntarily stepped into reincarnation." ”
"It's best for the predecessors to have such an idea, I believe that your beautiful wish will come true soon, and we will also let you be buried in peace, your bones, I will help you keep it, it is absolutely safe." Yi Yuan said solemnly, but he deliberately rubbed his hands.
"Little friend, is this distrustful of the old man?" The old voice was full of endless sadness and loneliness.
"Senior, is this a distrust of juniors?" Yi Yuan quickly replied.
After half a ring, the old man's voice said helplessly: "Little friend, how can you believe in the sincerity of the old man?" ”
Yi Yuan immediately responded: "Senior, how can I believe in your sincerity?" ”
After a while, the old man's desolate voice sounded again: "The old man swears with his Taoist heart: he will never have any thoughts about your little friends, and after he has left the secret realm of the Ghost Hidden Sect, he will immediately voluntarily reincarnate after losing his last wish." ”
"And then?" Yi Yuan asked.
"Alas...... Why do you have to work hard, the old man has made an oath, if you still can't believe it, please put my bones back in the stone house, let me fend for myself, and save you from disrupting your cultivation. The old man's voice was full of indignation.
"Senpai, remember what you said." Yi Yuan responded lightly, reached out and took the package on his uncle Lu Yunfeng's back, and gently hung it on his shoulder.
The stone hall, about three zhang three high, covers an area of six zhang six, the surface shape is peculiar, the momentum is magnificent, let the years be exploited, still hideous and domineering, the word 'ghost hidden' above the main entrance, exudes a breathtaking ghostly light, can not look at each other for a long time. On a stone door, carved with the scene of the outbreak of the hidden spring, and carved a ghost, occupying a large area, green fangs, red eyes and red claws, hideous and terrifying, on the edge of the door, there is a soul grass embellishment; On the other side of the stone door, there is a middle-aged man sitting on the crown, although he can't see his appearance clearly, just with a picture, it is difficult for people to look directly, and even can't have the idea of resisting.
Everyone stood for a long time before slowly coming back to their senses, Lu Yunfeng took a step forward, put his hands on both sides of the stone door, and tried his best to fail to push open the stone door, he was a little unbelieving, and he exerted his strength again, shaking off a body of dust, and still did not open a single gap.
So, everyone tried one by one, but they couldn't open the stone door, and now only Yi Yuan didn't do it, and they looked over one after another.
"Oh, you can't open it, there's nothing I can do." Yi Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Little friends, you might as well use a soul bead to get close to the stone gate, maybe it can be done." The old voice made everyone's eyes brighten.
Lu Yunfeng reluctantly took out a soul bead, and said reluctantly: "The soul bead is just this one, if you use it here, it's really a pity, what do you think?" ”
When everyone heard this, they discussed it, and although it was worth a lot of money, so many people couldn't share it, not to mention that they had reached the last hall, and no one was willing to give up exploration, so they all agreed to use it.
As soon as the soul bead approached the stone gate, it emitted bursts of light, and all of them entered the stone gate in an instant, and the stone door opened with a "squeak".
While everyone was overjoyed, they remained vigilant and followed Lu Yunfeng into the main hall.
So many years have passed, and the hall is still very clean, with a stone altar in the middle, carved with exquisite patterns, with rakshasas, ghosts and ghosts, each occupying a direction, and in the middle of the area, there is a middle-aged man carved, although he can't see the appearance clearly, but compared to the pattern on the stone door, it is obviously much clearer.
The huge stone hall, in addition to the altar, only the surrounding ground, scattered nine futons, looks different; The words and patterns engraved on the stone wall quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Yi Yuan quietly picked up the futon on the ground, it was slightly cool, it was extremely well preserved, he put it back in the storage ring after a little thought, and then took advantage of everyone's distraction to observe the stone wall, and quietly took it away one by one.
"It's a complete soul search." Lan Zeliang couldn't help but speak, his eyes staring at the stone wall.
"The stone wall on my side records the art of soul refining." Jiang Yi frowned, it was really too cruel and domineering for this soul alchemy.
"What is recorded on the stone wall here is the art of losing souls, which is quite strange." Ying Yueyan hesitated, but still said it, this secret method is quite close to what she has learned, and it can be referred to and practiced.
"What I have recorded here is the art of controlling ghosts, and it is also very subtle." Jiang Yuxuan told what she found.
"On this stone wall, there is a record of the art of soul control, which specializes in controlling the souls of others as their own slaves." Shangguan Xue reported what she saw.
"On the stone wall on my side, there is a Dan prescription recorded, and the general refining process is depicted, but the soul rejuvenation herb is the main medicine." Chen Hao felt that his luck was not bad.
"Alas! The stone wall I saw was a depiction of the use of the altar, and it required at least three soul beads to open it. Shi Zhong sighed, but still said it, when the only soul bead opened the stone door, it had already been consumed, and if he wanted to open the altar, it was impossible, maybe...... He glanced at Yi Yuan secretly, and suddenly found that the futon on the ground was missing, did he miss something good? He scratched his head.
"The secret method engraved on the stone wall, with the Taoism we have learned, should be able to practice, and it is the most correct choice to use it on the enemy, as long as you don't do evil, the heart is right, the Tao is right, everyone is here for a while to rest for a while, and then make plans."
What Lu Yunfeng said was quite in line with everyone's wishes, and no one came out to oppose it.
So, everyone carefully studied the secret method suitable for themselves, Yi Yuan was no exception, he recorded the secret technique one by one, and then found an open space, took out a futon, sat on it, and soon calmed down, spent three or five days of effort, and learned the secret method seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, as for the method of opening the altar recorded on the stone wall, he selectively ignored it, and felt that there was an ominous appearance after opening, so he secretly discussed it with Shangguan Xue, and pretended to be indifferent, and looked around.
This hall is still a little empty, Yi Yuan observed very carefully, except for the altar, he did not find anything abnormal, he was not discouraged, and after a few walks, he calmed down and slept.
Suddenly, a few more days passed, and everyone got up from meditation one by one, and after so many days in the secret realm, it was time to leave; Lu Yunfeng secretly asked Yi Yuan if he had any soul beads, and after learning that the altar was not good to open, he didn't ask much.
When they walked out of the main hall, the stone door was easily opened, until the stone door was closed again, everyone still felt a little regretful, if they had extra soul beads, they might have unexpected benefits if they opened the altar, and it was too late to say anything; Some of them speculated that Yi Yuan might have a soul bead in his hand, but in the end they didn't ask.
In the secret realm, the light is getting clearer and clearer, the ghost aura is much less, and there is no longer a cold and biting feeling in the air, and the forbidden cage formed by nine huge stones on the back mountainside was quickly discovered by everyone.
Everyone came to the halfway up the mountain to check: inside the boulder prohibition, there was nothing except for the ghostly aura exuding from the deep pit; Outside, a shallow puddle spreads down the hillside, and the puddle is dark red, emitting a faint smell of blood, which makes people palpitate.
"The deep pit in the forbidden cage is where the dark spring is, and after the Yin Soul Riot is over, only the deep pit remains in place." Yi Yuan explained a few words lightly.
"Soul Returning Grass, have you ever seen it?" Chen Hao in the crowd suddenly asked eagerly, he had already found small pits on the edge of the shallow pits, and it was estimated that there were five or six places, which were deliberately left by Yi Yuan.
Yi Yuan nodded and admitted directly.
Although Chen Hao was a little unhappy when he heard this, he never spoke again, and his expression was still pretending to be nothing.
In the secret realm, the opportunities they harvest belong to the individual, and no one takes the initiative to break this rule.
It can also be exchanged voluntarily if necessary.
Chen Hao felt that he still had a chance, at least he got along better these days, he thought secretly; It's a pity that the value of the Soul Restoration Grass is extremely high, and he may not have enough resources to trade it.
