Near Wangcheng, over the barren mountains dozens of miles east of the Shiwai Valley, a ray of light broke through the air and quickly moved towards the direction where Zhao Wuyan was.

Suddenly, the light stopped, and the Blood Yan Palace monk dressed in black appeared, looking at the object in his hand with a little surprise.

It was a yellowed paper map, a simple line outlined in black lines that seemed to change with the change of the scene, and a red dot like a drop of blood was wriggling like life, very close to the center of the map.

"Ancestor ......"

The monk raised his head suddenly, only to see the void in front of him fluctuate, like ripples, and after the waves were rising, Yin Changming, who was wearing a Xuanqing robe, appeared in front of him.

"See the Ancestor!" the monk saluted with some surprise.

Immediately, with a little doubt, he took the initiative to ask: "Ancestor, what happened just now? I waited to see you travel a hundred miles in an instant, from the north of the royal city to the south of the royal city. ”

Yin Changming didn't know when he put on a copper mask depicting blue lines on his face, hideous and terrifying, as if his face with stiff hair and black fluff was covered, and his tone was extremely deep: "Traveling a hundred miles? This is not surprising, I met a master. ”

"Master?" the Blood Yan Palace monk was puzzled.

Yin Changming said: "Don't ask more, quickly recall everyone and withdraw from Xuan Xin immediately." ”

The body of the Blood Yan Palace monk shook: "Yes!"

Yin Changming passed the monk and continued to fly south.

He was extremely fast, and soon disappeared into the night.

The next day, Xuan Xin was abroad, in the Blood Yan Palace.

In the large palace exactly like in the dream, Yin Changming sat on the top, his eyes were majestic, and he looked at the few people standing solemnly below.

"Two months ago, it was rumored that there was a suspected Yuan Infant in the area of Xuanxin Wangcheng, and the officials and people of Wangcheng also held a ceremony on the outskirts of the city to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, using spiritual rain to produce crops and raise fish and shrimp......

I thought that these were just rumors by ignorant and foolish people, but I didn't expect that they were all true.

At this point, you can only quit, don't wade into the troubled waters again. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "Is there really a Yuanying master who interfered in this matter?"

"Isn't it said that the so-called miracle is the biggest flaw, no one would be so thankless......"

"How can it be so difficult for us to establish a religion!"

Yin Changming looked at the discussion of everyone below, and secretly sneered in his heart.

Throughout the ages, the experiences of countless monks have long proven that disciples are the cause and effect of the cultivation path, and the help of external objects is unreliable.

Because of the doorman's support for foreign things, there are those who enjoy promotion, and because of the drag of their descendants and descendants, there are not many great monks who have been tragically dusted.

This trip to Xuanxin, trying to make incense to the Great Burning River, almost suffered is a clear proof, if he retreats and cultivates, there will definitely not be so many causes and effects.

But you can be promoted without relying on external things, which is a skill that only a few super geniuses have, and ordinary monks or wealthy people are indispensable.

Therefore, it is often necessary to go down the mountain to experience, to find treasures, and to have fights and conflicts with people, which is called fighting for people's lives.

"Fortunately, I was witty and took the initiative to ask him in the name of seeking the Tao's heart, but not only did I not get the blame, but I also got advice!"

Yin Changming thought in his heart.

But what does that mean exactly?

Actually, I didn't understand it at all, just to avoid the disaster of killing, pretending to be smart and clever, and doing what he liked......

According to my experience, most of the seniors are good teachers, and the juniors who meet the seekers will have a good impression, but the faxed scriptures seem to be subtle and meaningful, containing all kinds of changes in this earthly sea of suffering, and it really has some meaning that fits my current situation.

Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it......"

The strange feeling that seemed to have a flash of inspiration, but could not be grasped again.

After pondering for a long time to no avail, Yin Changming couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"If you knew this was the case, you should have asked it face to face, even if it was contaminated with cause and effect!

However, the advantage of the predecessors is not so easy to take advantage of, maybe this will also avoid future disasters.

I really don't know if it's right or wrong. ”

He couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable resentment in the depths of his heart.

The seniors are more unfathomable than the other, and it is too difficult to deal with them.

The decision was made on the side of the Blood Yan Palace, and in the Xuanxin country, the Yanshan monks also quickly learned about it, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.

They don't know the cause and effect of this, they just feel that it is inexplicable to just say that they can just leave.

When the city lord of Yanshan City learned about it, he was so angry that he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and fell to pieces.

"Is the Blood Yan Palace really deceiving me, and no one in the Yan Mountain can't succeed?

They were the ones who took the initiative to come to the door, and they were the ones who instigated me to start an incident, but now they don't even have a word of explanation, and they are the ones who say they will leave, which is too deceitful!"

"The city lord is a little restless, even if there is no support from the Blood Yan Palace, if we want to start an incident with our strength, we are not completely sure, the key is to stabilize, and at this moment, we must not mess with ourselves. ”

In the fury of the city lord, the others were silent, and only a scribe in Tsing Yi stood up.

He had the aura of Lingyuan on his body, and he was actually a monk in the Qi Refining Realm.

The city lord glanced at him, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "What Huang Immortal Master said is extremely true, but, I want to know the inside story. ”

The scribe in Tsing Yi said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Miss Lin about this matter." ”

"Miss Lin?" the city lord said with a complicated look on his face, "Yes, this woman must know the truth, she came from the royal city to make a failed attempt." ”

Soon after, a guard came to report: "Miss Lin is here." ”

Dressed in a gold-patterned robe with a red background, Lin Rouniang, who is as delicate as jade, entered.

The aura on Lin Rouniang's body was deeper and more condensed than before, and her demeanor seemed to be much calmer, but her eyes were faintly dark.

She looked at the city lord and said indifferently, "I don't know what happened to the city lord's summons?"

The city lord's face was gloomy, and he said with a little unhappiness: "Miss Lin, if I guessed correctly, you should have known the truth about those rumors in the country a long time ago.

In the area of Wangcheng, there are really Yuanying masters!"

Lin Rouniang said: "Not bad. ”

The city lord's pupils shrank, and he forcibly held back his anger and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Lin Rouniang said: "Yuanying Master Shenlong has seen the head and not the tail, who knows where he is now? He has appeared well in the area of Wangcheng before, but it does not mean that he has been hiding in Wangcheng. ”

What he said was so justified that the city lord was speechless when he heard it.

The Tsing Yi scribe said: "City Lord, Miss Lin is reasonable, there is not only one Yuanying in the world, and it has appeared in the royal city, which does not mean that it has anything to do with our affairs." ”

The city lord came back to his senses and said angrily: "But if he has interfered in this matter, he will continue to interfere, otherwise why would the ancestor of the Blood Yan Palace suddenly give up for no reason." ”

Lin Rouniang said: "Isn't that right? They gave up, there is no way to take back the previous support and cooperation, and what you have obtained will not be easily taken away by them." ”

"But......" The city lord almost wanted to go crazy, "That's the Yuan Infant Master!"

Lin Rouniang looked at him and said seriously: "Your Excellency the City Lord, please forgive me, whether the other party is a superior person or not, what is the difference between you and you?"

The city lord was stunned when he heard this: "This ......"

Lin Rouniang said: "If someone else really wants to deal with you, whether it is to build a foundation or to tie a Dan, you can easily sneak in and directly take your head, thousands of miles apart, thousands of miles apart, and there is no difference."

The person you rely on now is the identity of the city lord of Yanshan City, and he has the luck recognized by a leyline, which is enough to have the personality of a python turning into a dragon!

If the city lord understands this, he should know that the withdrawal of the Blood Yan Palace is not only not a bad thing for you, but it is still a good thing, at least they are not against you, and the fruits of seeking self-reliance in the future can be enjoyed exclusively. ”

"It seems to make some sense. The city lord of Yanshan City gradually calmed down.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it makes sense or not, what matters is that he has to accept this reality.

The world is big, the strong are innumerable, who can ensure that they stand on the pinnacle, not ants or chess pieces in the eyes of others?

It's not a big deal to become a chess piece, the key is whether you can do a good job of this chess piece and get out of your own situation on the chessboard.

Life has been in a hurry for decades, and the wealth and honor of mortals are not considered by those great monks, and there is still a great hope that they want to succeed.

Lin Rouniang persuaded the city lord of Yanshan City, but her heart was quite uneasy.

"He really reappeared, and even went down in person and meddled in the matter. ”

This could not be worse news for her.

This means that she is no longer safe for a long time, and it is not easy to complete her plan, successfully build a foundation, and return to the sect.

In fact, Lin Rouniang had already expected this matter, but she had kept it a secret, and she had not told the two forces of Yanshan City and Blood Yan Palace that Grandma Wu had failed because of the mysterious master's move.

Without this critical information, they naturally thought that the apparitions in front of the people near the royal city were nothing more than official propaganda or false rumors spread by ignorant people.

The city lord of Yanshan City was not an idle person, and quickly reacted, ordered people to block the news, and secretly spread all kinds of rumors to cover up the truth.

It's good that you know about this kind of thing, and there is no need to shout it everywhere.

In the midst of the turmoil of the outside world, the Strange News Division of Wangcheng got the news of the retreat of the Blood Yan Palace.

It was only at this time that they knew that Yin Changming of the Blood Yan Palace had already come to the royal city and was hiding in that coffin.

But Li only told them the news, and then disappeared again, ignoring the other party's desperate desire to establish contact.

As far as he is concerned, agreeing to the request of the Persona Division will only bring trouble to himself, so it is better to keep the status quo and help randomly depending on the mood and fate, otherwise the Persona Division really thinks that with the support of the Great Monk and plans some big action, he will not be able to control the scene.

At night, Li Zhen's soul was out of his body, and his spirit body floated, carrying a bamboo cage through the deserted mountains and forests.

Soon after, he entered a cave and lowered the cage.

Li Zhen found a hidden corner from the cave, and after opening it, a few wooden planks were exposed, and then he took this thing, scraped off a little powder from it, and it was purple-black, faintly emitting a bit of a foul smell like rotten flesh and dung.

When it was ignited, a thick puff of black smoke rose and filled the room with an indescribable smell.

Although he can also smell the smell, he completely isolates the fragrance and is not affected by it.

However, in the bamboo cage he mentioned, the three cute little white rabbits began to be restless.

Soon after, all the white rabbits fell.

Seeing this, Li Zhen was amazed: "It's really poisonous, if this is replaced by the body of my mortal body, I will die if I smell it." ”

However, this was something that had been expected for a long time, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, and threw the entire cage into a deep pit in the hole.

In the next few days, Li Zhen came here many times to observe, and found that the rabbit corpse had begun to decompose.

Instead of the swollen giants of a normal corpse, they begin to fester, forming black spots like mildew.

If you look closely, it is like the black fungus on Zhao Wuyan or Yin Changming's body.

Based on the Hearsay file that Li Zhen had read, it was not difficult to judge that this was the mycelium of the so-called Tai Sui of his own land.

Jitu Tai Sui appears to be the existence of a fleshy reishi species, formed by the polymerization of slime molds, bacteria and fungi, which are neither animals nor plants, but a separate species of fungi.

Mushroom fungi are saprophytic species, and fungi on humans or animals are parasitic species, and this kind of self-soil Tai Sui is a rarer composite form, with both saprophytic and parasitic characteristics.

This reminded Li of Cordyceps.

Cordyceps grassland is originally an insect, and after being parasitized by the Cordyceps fungus ascospores, it devours internal organs and dies, leaving only a shell, this form is Cordyceps.

In the summer of the following year, the mycelium multiplies and turns into small grasses that are inches high, and this form is summer grass.

Fungal spores have begun to invade the bodies of these rabbits, starting from the epidermis to enter the flesh, nerves, and even muscles and bones.

Judging from the state manifested by Zhao Wuyan's dream spirit body, it seems to be able to corrode even the spiritual level.

Li Zhan condensed Gangfeng and cut open part of the rabbit meat, and found that the bottom still showed the appearance of flesh and blood, but the epidermis began to turn into a meat Ganoderma lucidum similar to a mushroom.

At this time, he was surprised to find that in fact, the rabbit did not die, but directly became a half-alive and half-dead corpse monster.

It's a pity that Li Zhen can't sneak into its dreams and try to verify the state of these rabbits' spiritual worlds.

Perhaps it was this resemblance to flesh and blood that led to the confusion between it and carrion, making it impossible to accurately distinguish its qualities, and once led research astray.

But with the efforts of the Blood Yan Palace, it seems that it has been corrected again, and it has correctly realized that the so-called black demon zombie is essentially closer to cordyceps sinensis than a zombie!

In other words, Jitu Tai Sui is not a treasure at all, but a kind of fungus, a group!

All the flesh and soul of creatures infected by this Tai Sui will be transformed into nutrients for their growth and reproduction.
