Chapter 7: The Secrets of the Upper Immortal Gate

Under the influence of the martial art [Shattered Yue], Zhao Hongming's body has undergone great changes.

Just from the appearance, his body suddenly swelled in a circle, and the muscles of his whole body were entangled like old tree roots, holding his clothes high.

In this state, Zhao Hongming's whole body's qi and blood, immortality and sincerity will remain in a state of high-speed operation, reaching a limit value.

The green tendons on his face bulged so violently that his expression became extremely hideous.

For other people, this state will be exhausted after a few breaths.

However, Zhao Hongming's cultivation of the Eight Desolations is a kind of Eight Desolations that focuses on "health preservation".

After breaking through to the Martial Courage Realm, the growth of the cultivator's essence had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Not to mention that now Zhao Hongming has cultivated another Thunder Destruction Law Body, which is also an immortal martial art method to improve physical fitness.

Even without the blessings of the Qi Sea Seal Divine Array and other Formation Dao Sutras, it would not be easy for the Upper Immortal Gate's Essence Snatching Formation to wipe him out.

Zhao Hongming tilted his head and said suspiciously: "Is this just a temptation to go to the Immortal Gate?" Do they have any other hole cards? ”

In the backyard, many high-ranking members of the Ming Sect looked at him dumbfounded, their pale faces full of disbelief.

They all knew that their sect leader was a cultivator of the Martial Courage Realm, and his strength was strong, but they didn't expect it to be so strong.

They are all in the rivers and lakes, they are well-informed, and they have also seen a lot of martial artists in the martial arts realm, but there is no one like Zhao Hongming.

He Jinlong swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said in a trembling voice: "Sect Master, the one you killed was the longevity extension Taoist of the Immortal Sect. ”

Zhao Hongming was quite speechless and said: "Such a weak person, what are you afraid of?" ”

He listened to the dictates of other subordinates, and thought that the strength of the Daoist people of the Shangxian Sect was equivalent to the five grades of martial arts and even higher realms, but now it seems that they are all subordinates who are spreading falsehoods.

This longevity extension Taoist of the Immortal Gate couldn't hold it just after he got excited, which made him a little disappointed.

He Jinlong and the others opened their mouths, and their mouths snorted a few times, not knowing how to answer.

It's not that the people of Shangxian Gate are weak, it's that you are too strong!

Zhao Hongming exhaled turbid air, and the law phase behind him slowly disappeared and disappeared, and the swollen figure on his body also returned to normal.

He silently ran the breathing method at the beginning of the Eight Desolations Immortal Gong, and after just a few breaths, the qi and blood and true intention that erupted from his whole body were all restored to the same as before.

Zhao Hongming's face was calm and said: "I'm afraid this Shangxian Gate is a little weird, now that the longevity Daoist is dead, there should be no other obstacles in the Shangxian Gate, you go with me." ”

At present, in the entire Luling City and even the entire Ying County, Shangxianmen is one of the few sects with martial courage.

It is better to cut the grass or to eradicate the roots, so as not to resurgce in the future, it is necessary for him to go to explore the secrets of this sect.

The sect of Shangxian Gate is located on an unnamed mountain outside Luling City.

That nameless mountain is not very far from Luling City, only about two miles away.

With Zhao Hongming, they are all martial artists who are not low in cultivation, they are full of physical strength, and their body skills are not bad.

So with the strength of his feet alone, in less than half a moment, Zhao Hongming had already arrived at the foot of the nameless mountain.

This nameless mountain outside Luling City is very low, the whole mountain is bare, and the trees that exist on the mountain have been cut down.

As far as the eye can see, the simple grass huts are staggered from side to side, stretching outward around a Taoist palace, covering the entire mountain like psoriasis.

Strangely, there was not a single figure to be seen here, just like what they had encountered in the Mingjiao Headquarters.

However, there are some differences.

At the very least, Zhao Hongming didn't notice any trace of the formation here, and there was no obscuring formation to cover up the truth.

The hall master of the Ming Sect came over and said, "Sect Master, this is where the Dao Gate of the Upper Immortal Gate is located. ”

Zhao Hongming raised his head and looked forward in the direction pointed by his subordinates, and a simple Taoist temple of common style appeared in front of him.

The history of this temple is much longer than the history of Shangxianmen.

Judging from the information I heard, it has existed for at least nearly a hundred years, and it is a Taoist temple that is well known to the common people.

Originally, this Taoist temple was not called "Shangxian Gate", but "Everspring Temple".

Three years ago, after the original Guan Master was feathered, he was changed to "Shangxian Gate" by the disciples below, and the disciples under the sect also increased suddenly, and then suddenly became famous in Luling City.

"Let's go." Zhao Hongming ordered softly, and walked in the direction of the Dao Palace first.

The scale of this Dao Palace is not small, and when you enter through the gate, everyone's footsteps are stunned.

I saw that in the square behind the door, Taoist priests who had turned into dried corpses could be seen everywhere.

They all remained in their pre-death posture and did not fall.

When Zhao Hongming walked in it, it was like entering a dried corpse exhibition hall, and he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in his heart.

There is no doubt that there is something wrong with the longevity Taoist.

These people were forcibly drained of their essence by him, and this time was very short, and the essence of these people seemed to be drained in an instant.

In the square, a three-legged incense burner still has a little green smoke coming out, and the breeze blows, blowing these green smoke to the main hall of the Taoist temple behind the incense burner.

There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the main hall, which is engraved with the four big characters of "Daxiong Treasure Palace" of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.

Zhao Hongming retracted his gaze and gestured behind him, and many high-ranking Ming Sect leaders who followed him hurriedly followed, and entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall with him, searching for traces in it.

The inside of the main hall was very empty, and only a golden body of Dao Ancestor stood in the center.

Other than that, there are no other objects, not even merit boxes and futons, which are common in religious places.

There was a room on both sides of the main hall, and Zhao Hongming walked to one of the doors at random and found that the door was locked.

He pushed the thread with his hand and didn't move, as if he had used some other means to seal it.

Zhao Hongming was puzzled, concentrated all his strength on his arm, and suddenly moved forward.

The cultivation of the Martial Courage Realm exploded.

Bang!

He slammed the door open, and there was a rotten, damp, musty smell.

Zhao Hongming waved his sleeve casually in front of him, and then walked in, and found that the room was extremely dim, and even a window was sealed from the outside and built with stone bricks.

The walls of the room were covered with thick cobwebs, and even the dust on the floor had accumulated a thick layer.

Zhao Hongming walked into the depths and saw that there was a bed inside, which had decayed and collapsed.

Other than that, nothing was found.

"It's strange, there's nothing in this room, so tightly sealed? I almost had to use the cultivation of the Martial Courage Realm to push it away. ”

Zhao Hongming frowned, a little puzzled.

Looking at the collapsed wooden bed, it is estimated that the time it will be sealed is not short, at least four or five years.

It's not like someone has been active.

He turned to leave.

A pale human face with four pairs of eyes suddenly appeared on the roof, and its slender limbs were attached to the roof in a strange posture.

This strange existence cautiously approached Zhao Hongming silently.

When he was close to the top of Zhao Hongming's head, he suddenly opened a bloody mouth and jumped down from the roof.

Burst!

In the room, a blue light flashed.

A cyan arm emerges and passes through the strange mouth, shattering its skull.

At the moment of the strange swoop, Zhao Hongming noticed the abnormality, and almost subconsciously moved.

He turned around and looked at the strange thing on the ground, his expression changing slightly.

Its skin is grayish-white, clinging to the bones, revealing the skeleton completely, not much different from the dried corpses outside the hospital.

There is no doubt that this turned out to be a person.

Standing in the room, Zhao Hongming's eyes narrowed slightly at this weirdness.

Sasha Sha ......

There was a grinding movement on the ground.

Zhao Hongming found that this strange had signs of life again, and his shattered head squirmed towards the main body as if it was alive.

A moment later, the skull that had been destroyed by Zhao Hongming was reassembled and became intact.

"Huh? So weird. ”

"Roar!"

Zhao Hongming smashed down with another punch, passing through its chest.

Just got up weird, and fell to the ground again.

Then the same scene appeared, the wound penetrated by Zhao Hongming squirmed, began to reassemble, and healed.

"Isn't this weird unkillable?"

Zhao Hongming tried again and again, trying in various parts of the weird.

It turned out that this weird person was pitifully weak except for the attribute of immortality.

This Shangxian Gate is really a little weird.

Zhao Hongming ordered: "Someone comes." ”

Hearing Zhao Hongming's shout, He Jinlong trotted over for the first time: "Sect Master." ”

"Separate and lock the things on the ground, and I'm going to take them back."

He Jinlong was shocked when he heard this and looked at the strangeness of the five horses on the ground.

Zhao Hongming reminded: "Remember not to put these limbs together. ”

He Jinlong found that these unnecessary tissues on the ground began to squirm, as if consciously reassembled, and realized that this thing in front of him was a little different, and he didn't dare to slack off.

He said solemnly, "I know the sect master. ”

"Master, there's a human skin here."

Outside the house, a Ming Sect disciple shouted loudly.

Zhao Hongming quickly rushed over.

There was a steward of the Ming Sect who shouted, and he found a human skin in the Taoist temple.

Human skin is not a whole piece of human skin, but just a whole piece of skin on the back of a person, which is sewn together by a person, and the two sides are one.

This human skin is very well preserved, white and delicate, giving people a sense of freshness.

Zhao Hongming got this human skin and warmed it up.

He reached out and touched the human skin, as if caressing the back of a beautiful woman, giving him a sense of absurdity.

Zhao Hongming spread out the human skin, and three big characters were clearly tattooed on the back - "Sacrifice to the Heavens".

"The ancient characters of the Yin Kingdom?"

Zhao Hongming found that the characters on this human skin belonged to the same system as the ones he saw in the ancient tombs of the Yin Kingdom.

This human skin is estimated to be some years old.

Below these three big characters, there are many carvings, and they are all marked by this ancient Chinese character.

He read it all and found that it was recorded in a formation that sacrificed to the "heavens", and could please the "heavens" by robbing people's spirits.

Looking at the history of the handwriting on it, this formation appeared a little earlier than the Nine Dragons Essence Winning Array.

It is very likely that the Nine Snake Essence Capture Array also originated from this formation.

Zhao Hongming turned out the other side, the content of the stab on it was completely different from this side, and the text seemed to be formed a little later, somewhat similar to the style of the former Zhou Dynasty.

The above record is an alchemy made of human materials, which is a bit evil.

"The methods cultivated by that longevity prolonging Taoist all originate from this."

Zhao Hongming knew that the Wang family had a deep study of the formation, so it made sense, why did the longevity Taoist of Shangxian Gate get very close to the Wang family.

The two are taking what they need.

"Sect Master, in addition to this human skin scroll, we have found a lot of ...... Lots of corpses ......"

"Corpses?"

Zhao Hongming frowned.

"You'd better go over and have a look."

Zhao Hongming put away the human skin and said expressionlessly: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes."

Under the guidance of his disciples, Zhao Hongming walked to a backyard and found a cellar.

I saw that there were neatly placed corpses that had been robbed of their essence, and there were extremely large numbers.

Those displaced people who were attracted by the so-called relief of Shangxian Gate were all in it at this time.

The shriveled corpses were stored in the cellar as if they were objects.

Lenovo just encountered the weirdness, Zhao Hongming felt that this Shangxian Gate was afraid that the plan was very big.

"Let's burn it."

The Mingjiao senior beside him nodded, without asking more questions or questioning, and immediately nodded in response.

After exploring in the Taoist temple for a while, there was no other superfluous discovery except for finding a set of array flags.

Zhao Hongming no longer continued to explore, and planned to return to the Wuwang Mansion directly.

Before leaving, he ordered people to burn all the corpses in it.

With the complete destruction of the Shangxian Gate, Zhao Hongming became the only martial artist in the Martial Courage Realm, and no one could challenge his status anymore.

Mingjiao has also become the largest martial arts force in Yingjun.

Judging from the information collected by Gao Yanshi, the remaining thirty or so martial arts forces either have the intention of relocating or returning to obedience.

Ying Jun has been completely controlled by Zhao Hongming, and he can concentrate more on martial arts improvement in the next period of time.

Wuwang Mansion.

The beautiful woman seemed to be walking around without incident, and her eyes looked around from time to time.

After making sure that there was no one around, she walked to the vicinity of the martial king's practice room one by one, intentionally, and unintentionally.

She approached an inconspicuous rockery in the practice room and took out a jade cicada the size of a fingernail.

The beautiful woman's fingers clicked on the jade cicada several times.

This jade cicada carved from pure jade suddenly came to life, fluttered its wings, and flew towards the practice room.

After so many days of exploration, she knew that the Martial King had been cultivating martial arts all along.

This made her doubt the guess in her mind.

It is very likely that King Wu and Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, are the same person!

This is an extremely absurd speculation.

Everyone in the world knows that the royal family can't cultivate, if it's really the same person, it means that the Martial King is already a martial artist in the Martial Courage Realm.

But the more unlikely it is, the more valuable the information it proves, and the rewards she receives are immeasurable.

For the sake of caution, she didn't dare to get too close, for fear of attracting attention, so she used the cherished jade sound cicada.

The jade sound cicada is a disposable product, and it is a magic weapon refined in the Haoran Sect, which can carry the user's divine soul, similar to the second distraction of the martial arts, but it is just a little time-sensitive.

If her guess is wrong, being able to spy on the information between the Martial King and the Ming Sect Leader will also be a great achievement for her, and it will not be a loss overall.

While she was thinking about it, the beautiful woman saw the figure of Ming Sect Leader Wei Wuji appear outside the practice room.

She hurriedly held her breath and condensed, and used her secret arts, completely hiding her aura and figure.
