Chapter 50: Strange Calamity
"After the breakthrough of the Ape Transformation Alchemy Technique, my body's passive absorption efficiency of aura should be improved a bit, right?"
Ye Cheng closed his eyes and carefully sensed the vortex channel in his mind.
There were still some colorful spots of light falling down.
The amount is not too much, it should be related to the concentration of heaven and earth aura in the environment.
After observing for a long time, Ye Cheng already knew it in his heart.
Not all heaven and earth aura particles have escaped.
Among the 800 aura particles, the body can absorb about one.
That's about 1.2 per thousand.
"That's a very low percentage."
Ye Cheng sighed.
Although slightly better than before the breakout.
It can absorb this meager aura particle, and the impact on the body is really limited.
However, if the timeline is extended, it can automatically absorb aura particles every day, even if it can only absorb 1.2/1000 each time, it is still quite considerable over time.
Those innate spirit bodies automatically absorb aura particles from birth, even if they can only intercept a little bit, after a few years or more than ten years of sedimentation, their physical talent will be much higher than that of ordinary people.
"No matter what, the help of this spirit bone to me will slowly manifest itself in the future."
Ye Cheng was not in a hurry.
This spirit bone cannot be seen in the short term, but must be focused on the long term.
He looked at the time, it was not early, and he had to go to the second senior brother for dinner.
.....
Night.
Jungnam City.
Due to the fact that the Chongyang Temple, a major sect of Taoism, is next to it, Zhongnan City is relatively stable.
Since the founding of the city, there has been no incident related to the monster in Zhongnan City, and it is regarded as the most suitable place to live in Ximing County.
All the time, people who are connected will find ways to move the family in.
This led to the increasing scale of Zhongnan City, and finally the Chongyang Temple had to make restrictions.
to avoid the scale of Zhongnan City getting out of control.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles."
Dead.
A watchman walked on the deserted and empty street, carrying a lantern and knocking on the bamboo pole in his hand while shouting.
Due to the existence of monsters, the nightlife in this world is relatively poor, and ordinary people often do not go out after dark.
Although the safety factor of Zhongnan City is very high, no strange things have ever happened.
However, under the jurisdiction of Chongyang Temple, the entertainment industry in Zhongnan City is greatly restricted, and it will only be open during the day.
When the husband passed by an alleyway, he vaguely heard something moving inside.
He stopped, hesitated, and walked slowly inside, carrying the lantern.
The alley was very dim, and even the light of the lantern could not shine far.
With the help of the moonlight, he saw a tall white banyan tree growing in a courtyard not far away, and the umbrella-like canopy stretched out from the courtyard wall, covering most of the alley.
A cold wind blew suddenly.
The husband couldn't help but shrink his neck.
It's early autumn, the weather is still hot, and the wind is hot.
What the hell is this cold wind?
The husband was inexplicably flustered, and turned around to leave the alley.
Suddenly, he felt his neck tighten, as if something was wrapping around him.
He hurriedly threw away the bamboo pole and lantern in his hand and reached out to touch it.
The next moment, he felt like he was having trouble breathing, and his body felt as if something was hanging from him.
If anyone was on the scene, they would have found a white aerial root hanging down from the banyan tree, wrapping around the husband's neck and hanging him directly in the air.
What's even more terrifying is that there are still many air roots on the white banyan tree, and there are even more than a dozen air roots that are also hanging people.
The whole scene looks eerie and terrifying.
When it was almost dawn, the person who was hanging on the qi root of the banyan tree was suddenly let go.
Those people didn't seem to be dead, but their movements were very stiff, and they had no expressions, and their eyes were hollow.
It didn't take long for the stiffness on these people to seem to have recovered a lot.
The man walked to the lantern that had long been extinguished, reached out and picked it up, and the bamboo stick did not fall, and then with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked slowly towards the alley.
.......
In the blink of an eye, it was more than a month later.
Early morning.
Ye Cheng opened his eyes and stretched his waist, he was really refreshed.
He grabbed a towel and a toothbrush and salt, walked out of the room, and began to wash.
After washing, he also used a comb to comb all the hair on his head and body.
The hair that was originally messy suddenly looked much smoother.
He changed into a Taoist robe again.
"Hey, it's growing a little fast, and I can't wear it soon..."
Ye Cheng looked at the fat white ape in the bronze mirror, and almost burst his robe, and he couldn't help but sigh.
This is a set of Taoist robes that he specially customized, but I didn't expect it to be a little small.
Then he put on the crown as well.
The reason why I dress so formally is because today is the annual worship day of Chongyang Temple.
In the past two years, every worship day, Sister Yu Zhen could bring him back a piece of monster meat.
The taste of the monster dried meat is not very good, but the energy contained in it is very sufficient, and the effect is better than that of the Qingling Pill.
Moreover, the monster dried meat has the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing qi and blood.
If you take monster meat for a long time, your physical strength will also increase to an inhuman level.
In the end, Ye Cheng put the sword on his back.
The standard Taoist attire.
Changchun Palace.
A large number of Taoists gathered.
Today is the annual worship day, worship the supreme Taoist ancestor, unless you are on a mission, as long as you are in the view, you have to come here.
Even the Taoists who were originally in Zhongnan City have mostly returned.
Among the many Taoists, there is one person who is very conspicuous, and it is naturally Ye Cheng.
Although it can only be considered ordinary, it is almost the size of two or three adult men.
Two thick arms propped up the sleeves of the robe.
Ye Cheng was surrounded by Senior Brother Diqi, and there were other Dao people from the Yuqing Palace.
"Senior Brother Xiaobai, you must follow me next, you know?"
Senior Brother Di Que stammered.
Today is the day of worship, and there must be no problems on important occasions.
The master specially told him to be optimistic about Xiaobai.
Ye Cheng nodded hurriedly.
He's sure to be honest.
However, he underestimated the tedium of the sermon process.
It lasted until the afternoon and was not over yet.
Ye Cheng was already hungry.
According to the regulations of the worship day, from last night to the end of the worship of the Taoist ancestors, you cannot eat during this time, and you must have an empty stomach.... To show reverence for the Supreme Dao Ancestor.
It wasn't until around three o'clock in the afternoon that the worship finally ended.
"Senior Brother of the Land Shortage, didn't you say that after the worship is over, there are a lot of good things to eat?"
Ye Cheng followed Senior Brother Di Que out of Changchun Palace and asked curiously.
"Yes, it's over there in the dining hall, but there's nothing to eat, usually only those small dojo Taoists will eat, junior brother Xiaobai, what are you asking for, if you're hungry, I'll make you something to eat when I go back."
Senior Brother Di said intermittently.
"I heard Sister Yu Zhen say that there are monster meat preserved before, so I'm quite curious."
Ye Cheng said in ventriloquism.
"Well, there is monster dried meat, this monster dried meat doesn't taste very good, it's hard to eat, we don't usually eat it, is it that Senior Brother Xiaobai likes to eat this very much?"
Senior Brother Di Que was surprised.
Ye Cheng was full of emotion, the second senior brother is a full man, but he doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry.
Being in the Yuqing Palace, and being a personal disciple of Yuyang Zhenren, there is no need to worry about cultivation resources, and there is really no need to eat something unpalatable like monster dried meat.
The reason why Ye Cheng never forgot it was mainly because of his lack of cultivation resources before, so he had a deep memory of the monster meat.
"No, I've eaten it before, and it's really unpalatable."
Ye Cheng was short of senior brothers, and when he said this, he lacked interest.
After returning to Taoyuan, Senior Brother Di Que began to work in the kitchen.
Ye Cheng squatted on the edge of the pond, took a bottle of food pills, and threw them into the water one by one.
As he dropped it, golden fish as long as chopsticks tumbled out, making waves and scrambling for pills.
This is a kind of Arowana fed by the second senior brother.
The second senior brother said that the meat is extremely delicious, and after eating it once, it will definitely have an endless aftertaste.
When the Arowana grows to the extent that it can be caught, he will make a table of whole fish feasts and invite Ye Cheng to taste it.
After feeding for a while, Senior Brother Di Que called him to eat in the house.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on a large table, Ye Cheng had a great appetite, and immediately sat down, not paying attention to the image, and ate in a big gulp.
The senior brother who lacks the land seems to eat a lot, chewing and swallowing slowly.
A man and an ape were eating, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, followed by a young Taoist boy rushing in.
"Master, the head of the hall told you to hurry up."
The young Taoist didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly said.
"Liang Dong, do you know what's going on?"
Senior Brother Di Que hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked curiously.
"Master, I heard that something happened in Zhongnan City."
Liang Dong hurriedly said.
There was a look of worry on his immature face, because his family was also in Zhongnan City.
"Something happened to Zhongnan City?"
Senior Brother Di Que looked shocked.
Zhongnan City is backed by the Chongyang Temple, and there has never been any major event since the city was built for more than 300 years.
Now that he can let Shizun call himself over, it is conceivable that what happened in Zhongnan City is by no means a trivial matter.
Could it be that something strange is happening?
But even if it's weird, it's not so nervous.
Zhongnan City is very close to Chongyang Temple, and if something big happens, the real people of Chongyang Temple can go to support at any time.
"Unless it's a more terrifying scourge..."
Senior Brother Di Qian couldn't help but sink in his heart.
This is just speculation.
But in the end, if there is really a strange disaster in Nancheng, it will definitely not be so simple.
"Senior Brother Xiaobai, you eat slowly by yourself."
When the Daoist was in a hurry, he spoke faster, and he stammered a little more.
"Senior brother, I'll go with you."
Ye Cheng quickly pulled all the rice in the bowl into his mouth, his cheeks bulged out, and then as soon as he put the bowl and chopsticks down, he got up and said in ventriloquism.
What happened to Zhongnan City?
Will it have any impact on the Chongyang concept?
Ye Cheng naturally has to understand as soon as possible and know what to do.
"Okay."
The Daoist didn't care either, and nodded.
So the two of them left Taoyuan and went straight to the Yuqing Palace.
By the time of the Yuqing Palace, some other Taoists had already arrived.
"There is a shortage of senior brothers."
"There is a shortage of uncles."
"There is a shortage of teachers and uncles."
"Master."
These people saluted and greeted each other.
Yuyang Zhenren has only three disciples, as well as a daughter.... However, there are still twenty or thirty Taoist books registered in the Yuqing Palace.
In addition to accepting Liang Dong's disciple, the Daoist Master also has two other apprentices.
In addition, Senior Brother and Chizuru Zhenren also have disciples, but they both took them to Wushuang City.
Only the third senior brother has no eyeless Taoist master and has no apprentices.
Ye Cheng, as a disciple of Yuyang Zhenren, these Taoists naturally greeted him in the same way, quite respectfully.
Although Ye Cheng was a white ape, just by virtue of his identity as a true disciple, his status in the Yuqing Hall was higher than theirs.
It didn't take long for Yuyang Zhenren to come to the hall and said in a deep voice: "I just got the news that a strange disaster has occurred in Zhongnan City, and it has completely fallen. ”
"What?"
The Taoists present were all taken aback.
Although they have already received the news that something has happened in Zhongnan City.
I didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
This is no ordinary disaster.
Before even the Chongyang Temple could react, Zhongnan City fell.
Some of the Daoist families present were in Zhongnan City, and they all looked anxious at once.
The fall of Zhongnan City means that the situation is very serious, and the residents inside do not know whether they are alive or dead.
"Master, why is the situation so serious, didn't the people sitting over there just come back last night?"
The Earth Shortage Daoist couldn't help but ask.
That's too fast.
It's ridiculously fast.
"The fall is a fact, the entire Zhongnan City has been plunged into a white mist, and for the time being, I don't know if the source is a high-level monster, or a monster or a monster..."
Yuyang Zhenren shook his head, "From now on, the entire Chongyang Temple will enter a high level of alert, you will take someone to investigate all the dead corners within the scope of my Yuqing Palace, and prevent the appearance of abnormal leakage points of strange powers." ”
"Yes, Master."
The Daoist Master hurriedly received the order, and then asked, "Are you saying that this strange disaster in Zhongnan City may have something to do with the Black Seal Strange Sect?" ”
"I don't know for the time being, but I don't rule out the possibility."
Yuyang Zhenren shook his head, and then turned around and left the main hall.
As one of the four giants of Chongyang Temple, he still has to go to Changchun Palace to meet with other real people to discuss how to deal with the strange disaster in Zhongnan City.
Rescue Jungnam City.... Until the origin of the strange disaster is clarified, you must not act rashly.
After all, some of the things produced by strange pollution are too weird and terrifying.
After Yuyang Zhenren left, the Daoist Master hurriedly assigned tasks to the Daoists present, and made every effort to investigate the jurisdiction of Yuqing Palace.
Not only the Yuqing Palace, but also the various dojos of the Chongyang Temple at this moment are in progress.
"Senior brother is lacking, why didn't you assign me a task?"
Ye Cheng saw that the Daoists in the hall were all assigned tasks.
"Senior Brother Xiaobai, don't worry, you have a task for you. You go around and watch for suspicious suspects.... You're going to let me know as soon as possible. ”
The Earth Shortage Daoist said with a smile.
"Okay, senior brother."
Ye Cheng nodded.
He knew that the second senior brother had deliberately arranged this kind of easy work.
The Chongyang Concept is so exciting, it is impossible for the hidden Black Seal Monster Sect to emerge at this time.
After leaving the Yuqing Palace, Ye Cheng prepared to go out to practice the Ape Strike Technique.
Because of the worship day, he didn't have time to cultivate today.
So he quickly rushed into the woods and began to practice ape strikes.
As for the tasks assigned by the second senior brother, he had already forgotten about them.
After a long time, Ye Cheng stopped on a big tree, and the originally boiling internal qi gradually calmed down.
Ever since his cultivation had broken through to the fourth level of the Qi Realm, his ape attack technique had become even faster.
"Zhongnan City is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, not far from Chongyang Temple, I don't know if I can see it?"
Ye Cheng's heart suddenly moved, and he had a strong curiosity about the so-called strange disaster.
Thinking of this, he decided to go over and have a look.
Of course, for his own safety, he will definitely not leave the Chongyang View area.
It won't be too close to Zhongnan City.
Sou!
Ye Cheng immediately jumped off the big tree, landed on another tree, and performed an ape strike technique, quickly flying through the woods.
Due to the detour, it took Ye Cheng almost half an hour to come to the periphery of the Chongyang Temple.
He climbed to the top of one of the highest mountains, stood on an unknown towering ancient tree, and looked beyond Zhongnan Mountain.
"That's?"
Ye Cheng watched as a huge city at the foot of the mountain was shrouded in white mist, looming over.
Today is obviously a sunny day.
Moreover, there can be no fog at this point in time.
But the area where the South City is located is white and foggy.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng's eyes froze.
Because.....
The blue disk in his mind turned slightly.
