"What does this mean? Markers, aphorisms, ciphers?"

"It's unlucky to mess with these messy bad things, but it's okay now, it's really a long sleep, right?"

His eyes fell on the sentence "I hope I won't wake up from a long sleep", and then looked at the middle-aged man who had been completely asleep, Li Zhen couldn't help but slander.

However, he also understood that the ethics and morals of these monks and their concepts of life and death were indeed very different from those of mortals.

Not only the evil path and demon cultivators, but even the righteous path monks have long been beyond the world, and have a concept completely different from that of mortals.

Li Zhen packed up these things and moved them to a nearby tree hole in batches to hide them.

It's a bit like a squirrel's habit, hiding things everywhere, and maybe when you forget them, you'll have to look for them all over again.

Luckily, there's nothing important, so if you really want to lose it, forget it.

"This demon path is poor, and a little talisman pill is useless for the time being, what is really worth caring about is the information contained in that sentence. ”

"And the person who appeared before, what could it be?"

"Listening to their dialogue, there should still be a group of comrades hiding in the shadows, the so-called employment of people...... It looks like he's planning something big. ”

Li Zhen thought as he flew towards the branch where the wooden envoy had stayed before.

However, Li Jian soon discovered that although his talent was easy to use, it still required extra attention, and it was not easy to lock on to the other party at high speed.

Fortunately, this problem is not too big for the time being, after all, even if it is open to fly now, it is still only about 100 miles per hour.

The real headache is that the wooden envoy is worthy of being a master, and he always likes to come and go.

There is a good official road next to him, he doesn't go, but he wants to jump up the tree, shuttling through the forest with branches and leaves, as if he can't show off his ability if he doesn't show off his light skills.

After thinking about it, I realized that I didn't seem qualified to talk about him.

Ever since he was out of his body, he has always used floating, and after learning to escape from the clouds, he has been flying around everywhere, and he has never thought of walking on his feet.

Even when he killed that demon path just now, he didn't actually feel the blood on his hands.

This is probably also the change brought about by supernatural skills.

"Alas, I can't follow the official road, otherwise, there will be only a few forks in the road, and the speed will be much faster. ”

However, even if he leaves the official road, he will inevitably revolve around the human settlement, and the reason why he goes into the wild is to save time. ”

Thinking about it like this, Li Zhen gradually had a clue again.

He tried not to rely too much on his natural ability, but followed the map in his memory, and rushed to a city called Takihe County more than ten miles ahead.

Takihe County is also a city along the Da Yan River, next to the river section between Wangcheng and Huangkou Town.

It happened to be on the straight path in the direction where the wooden envoy left, and it was most likely the destination of the trip.

Sure enough, after Li Zhen drove out more than 20 miles, he smelled the scent of the wooden envoy on the canopy of a big tree.

"He's really been here, and the smell is fresh!"

Li Zhen was shocked and continued to pursue, and found that the wooden envoy did not enter the city, but went to a group of old buildings on the outskirts.

It was a group of houses surrounded by low walls, with its own courtyard, and a wooden plaque hanging at the entrance with the words "Takihe Yoshiso" written on it.

Li Zhen felt that something was wrong, and when he sniffed it carefully, the stench of rotten meat came from the air.

It's the smell of corpses!

Yizhuang in the dark night has a somewhat terrifying atmosphere, and under the visit of the divine sense, it can be seen that five thin wooden coffins are neatly placed in the main hall inside, and the smell is coming from it.

These should all be business trips to and from a foreign country, or the corpses of the poor who have no money to bury and temporarily store their bodies here in the event of a murder that are temporarily unclaimed, or even the poor.

But Li Zhen had also smelled the smell of the dead, and in his impression, it was just a natural phenomenon of corruption, and the texture tended to be mild, with a rusty smell of earth.

At this moment, what came into the induction was a strong and somewhat choking stench, and there was even a faint blood mixed in it.

It made him feel familiar, it was the smell of that wooden envoy!

"The Three Treasures Refining Demon Technique, the Method of Refining the Corpse! It must be the corpse demon that the Wooden Envoy personally cultivated and controlled. ”

Li Zhenfu was so happy that he guessed what would be lying in the coffin.

He endured his nausea and plunged his mind into the coffin.

As a result, at first glance, it was creepy, and even if he was in an out-of-body state, he couldn't help but have the illusion that his hairs stood on end.

It wasn't a corpse, but a giant centipede like a python!

They had shiny carapaces, pincers like knives, scarlet, hideous and terrifying, lying straight in coffins.

"No, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary centipede......

Li Zhen looked at it again and couldn't help but be stunned.

The centipede head is a human head!

This is a monster that uses the head of a dead man and a centipede to be spliced together, and I don't know what kind of sect is the inheritance of the faction, and it actually reveals the characteristics of the two demon refining techniques of refining corpses and refining Gu at the same time, and they are blended with each other's qi and machine, and the combination is excellent, and it is by no means a simple stitching that can be done by the kind of superficial treatment.

"It's disgusting. Li Zhen said with emotion.

He recalled that the General Outline of the Three Treasures Demon Refining Technique had mentioned that demon refining could take human corpses as materials to create corpse monsters.

There is even a technique that intercepts the blood and qi of different individuals, blends with each other, and makes up the five elements!

From a mathematical point of view, it is not a high probability event that a single individual is born with a complete spiritual root, but the five elements are one-fifth power of two, counting the balance of yin and yang, showing a dominant characteristic, that is, one in a thousand.

If you take any one of the five elements, the probability is much greater, and wherever you find a group of people, you can always find one with a certain spiritual root attribute and a balance of yin and yang.

Based on this principle, there are demonic masters who have created a method of plundering the spiritual roots of others.

Since the spiritual root is not a specific organ, but a conceptual object, it requires a sufficient degree of flesh and blood tissue to achieve transfer, and the most useful of them is the part of the mind where the human spirit is located.

People who have not seen the Three Treasures Refining Technique, or who have seen it but have learned it without thinking about it, will definitely not think of so much.

However, Li Zhen tried to create his own exercises according to its principles, and after thinking about it well, he immediately understood the origin of this monster.

"The physiological characteristics of people and Gu worms are completely different, and the way of using supernatural spells is also very different, people need to have a complete spiritual root to refine qi and cast supernatural spells, but demons, spirits or Gu worms and the like can instead focus on a certain spiritual root for use. ”

"It's just that people can cultivate various supernatural means through their own wisdom, master the changes of yin and yang, and have a great future, but other species are so difficult......"

"This centipede should be a well-cultivated giant Gu worm, but the maker is not satisfied with the usual method of controlling the Gu, but uses it as a grafted rootstock. ”

"They must have been treated with targeted cultivation to maximize the use of a single spiritual root or a special method. ”

Li Zhen could even imagine whether there would be another method of splicing together multiple corpses to make up the Five Elements Perfection.

The sight of five coffins and five centipedes here is no accident, but a reasonable and inevitable answer.

If there are only three or four, it is definitely not complete, and if there are more than six, it will be saved as a backup.

"If the classics are correct, a single human head centipede has a strength comparable to that of a Qi Refining Cultivator, plus the Envoy Mu himself......"

Li Zhen recalled the scene of meeting in the forest before, and felt that the other party's qi was deep, and he was not an ordinary beginner disciple in the early stage of qi refining.

At the moment, he is not proficient in the skill of vaporization, and his divine power is weak, so he is not able to deal with this kind of person.

What's more, this may also be a stronghold of the people in the Demon Dao, and the status of the wooden envoy does not seem to be low, maybe there will be a figure like the middle-aged man before who is driven by him.

Li Zhen did not act rashly, but walked around a few times and carefully inquired about the situation.

Sure enough, the wooden envoy sat quietly in the room on the side of the main hall, as if thinking about something.

In the room on the left side of the depths of Yizhuang, a man with a bloody aura sat cross-legged on his luck, with a black mist above his head, which seemed to be the path of refining.

There was a thin old man in the room on the right, who had already fallen asleep, surrounded by many clay pots and crockpot-like utensils hissing, and many large scarlet centipedes like long snakes were restless.

In a utility room at the back of the house, there was a man in his forties, describing him as withered.

He was dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people, and he was squatting in the corner with his body bent, like dementia.

This seems to be the original caretaker of Yizhuang, after being occupied by the magpie's nest dove in the demon path, he was fascinated and thrown here.

This is definitely a hidden stronghold, as far as Li Zhen knows, places like Yizhuang have always been the focus of the Persona Division, but as long as you use extraordinary means, it is not difficult to avoid routine inspections.

After all, the monks don't do much errands, and ordinary search and prosecutors are poor, and it is not so easy to see through them quickly, and they will be lazy over time.

"According to them, they will meet in the royal city within three days, but they don't know if they will connect temporarily or do something else. ”

"Like this kind of demon path people lurking in the dark, it shouldn't be a new thing to change the stronghold, if the value of Yizhuang here has been exhausted, it is normal to completely abandon it. ”

"But that's not something I should worry about, whether I can seize the opportunity to encircle and suppress them should be up to the Persona Division. ”

Li Zhen was ready to leave and report this evil den to the Persona Division.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the wooden envoy had lit an oil lamp and spread out a map-like thing to look at.

Li Zhen floated over curiously, floating three feet above his head to watch.

It was indeed a map, which depicted the topography of more than 30 towns and villages along the Xuanxin Wangcheng and the Da Yan River, and painted with different markings.

The Da Tan River flows through many countries in Xuanzhou, also known as the Xuanjiang River in Xuanxin, is the most important water vein in the country, and looks like a dragon of several characters bending over and entrenching on the map.

Li Zhen couldn't see what this meant for a while, but he instinctively felt that it was quite important, so he stepped up his memory and tried to deepen his impression as much as possible.

The Wooden Envoy moved his finger across the map and muttered to himself: "War has started in the south, and the opportunity is rare......

Li Zhen said secretly: "The war in the south? Is it talking about the war between the Xuanxin Kingdom and the Zhu Yuan Kingdom? The monks of both countries have been concentrated, and the territory is empty, and it is much more convenient for them to do whatever they do. ”

But after the envoy said this, there was no other word.

He doesn't look like he's in the habit of talking to himself, and there's no more information to give.

When he was disappointed, Li Zhen suddenly saw Envoy Mu take out something from his bag and look at it carefully.

As the object left the intimate body, no longer hidden by the qi on the wooden envoy's body, a familiar fragrance permeated the air, and immediately spread in the air.

Li Zhen stared at it with some disbelief, and suddenly turned into surprise.

It's a wooden branch that looks like an animal's finger bones!

Different from the yellow wax sink seen before, its texture is still a little dull, and it does not have the transparent luster like wax oil infiltration.

This is some kind of fragrant wood, and it does not form an agarwood.

Agarwood is not obtained by cutting down trees, but needs to be coagulated by mixed resins, and the causes are different, but they are all closely related to resin.

The piece that Li Zhen accidentally obtained before was the product of being buried in the ground by chance.

Li Zhen smelled the fragrance of plants and trees on the wooden branch shaped like an animal's finger bone in front of him, and the number of fragrances was not much.

However, under careful sniffing, each incense still has an amazing effect that is ten times that of Xinling incense.

Li Zhen only found a few ways, and then he felt that his thoughts were about to move.

"This thing, it's amazing!"

This is the most beneficial thing he knows at the moment that is conducive to increasing the divine thoughts, if the effect of believing in the spirit of incense and food incense and refining the soul is marked as one, which is suitable for ordinary use, the effect of this thing is full of ten.

And that's just the native branches.

According to Li Zhen's previous test experience, after the incense is formed, its fragrance quality will be transformed, at least at the same level as the yellow wax obtained a few days ago.

Synthesized and modulated with other spices to make spiritual incense, it will be further improved, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be thousands of times more than ordinary spiritual incense.

Li Zhen didn't expect to do that for the time being, and he was already satisfied with being able to get the yellow wax Shen like last time.

At the moment, there was not much fragrance naturally emitted from this wooden branch, and Li Zhen didn't expect to be able to rely on it to cultivate, but he always remembered that he wanted the entire forest, not a single tree.

Since the clue is obtained again, it is to get the place where the forest is going, how can this not be exciting?

"It is very likely that these people in the Demon Dao carry this thing with them, and it may be related to practicing and raising demons!"

"Could it be that the difference in the number of life lawsuits filed by Zuo Baihu last time was due to the influence of this kind of thing?"

"But in this way, they are using the natural treasures to catalyze the growth of monsters at any cost, and the motives are really intriguing. ”

This should be said to be the biggest gain of today, Li Zhen glanced at Envoy Mu deeply, and thought to himself.
