Chapter Twenty-Four: A Hundred Years of Bronze Corpses

Forget the Valley of Worries.

Su Mo stretched, checked the token in his hand, pushed open the door, and walked towards the mission hall.

Soon after stabilizing his cultivation in the Spirit Valley, Liu Feng sent someone to send a token and asked him to participate in a three-peak joint mission as a disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace, which was counted as a test for him to become an inner disciple.

Su Mo had no choice but to terminate the retreat and take the queen bee back to the Valley of Forgotten Worries to prepare. As for Dabao, it cost six hundred spirit points to let it stay in the spirit pool to continue cultivating, consolidating its foundation and accumulating its foundation.

When they came to the front of the temple, three of them were waiting at the door, and one of them was quite familiar.

Chen Jue turned around and said in surprise: "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Su Mo smiled: "I didn't expect it either. ”

At this time, a high-crowned young man took a step forward and introduced himself: "Han Juan, a disciple of Xia Cuiyun Peak, who cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, is the leader of this mission. ”

Another blue-robed young man arched his hand and said: "Ren Tao, a disciple of Qixia Peak, is cultivating in the middle stage of foundation building, and is responsible for determining the pulse of Kanshan and finding a way to break the formation. ”

Su Mo returned the salute with his fists and said respectfully: "Purple Sky Peak disciple Su Mo, I have seen two senior brothers!"

Han Jian smiled: "Everyone is the same door, there is no need to be so polite." This mission in Xilin Town is a bit weird, you and Senior Brother Chen have just entered the Foundation Building Realm, and their cultivation is still shallow, if you encounter something dangerous, don't panic, let alone lose your sense of proportion, you and Senior Brother Ren will deal with it. ”

Su Mo nodded and said, "Let the senior brother send you." ”

The four of them sat on Ren Tao's giant eagle puppet, crossed the sea of clouds, and galloped all the way to the east, and it took more than half a month to come to Xilin Town.

Xilin Town is located in the northwest edge of Tianlin Kingdom, the location is remote, the mayor of the town is named Li Feng, the foundation was built in the early stage of cultivation, and he once worshiped the Cuiyun Peak of Taixuanzong to practice. Thirty years ago, he was injured by the demon eradication, and the avenue was hopeless, so he returned to his homeland, took charge of the family, and mined the mines for the sect.

Disciples like Li Feng who quit halfway are not uncommon in the sect, and every year there are one hundred and ten people, scattered to various parts of the Three Kingdoms, becoming the peripheral branches of Taixuanzong.

As soon as the four of them landed in front of the town, Li Feng personally greeted them and said enthusiastically: "I am grateful to all of you for your hard work." A banquet has been prepared below to catch the wind and wash the dust for the junior and younger brothers. ”

The cultivation of the four people does not seem to be high, but since the sect has assigned them the task, there must be something extraordinary, and if they can climb up to a little friendship, they may have unexpected uses in the future.

Han Jian waved his hand and said, "Forget about the banquet, let's talk about the specific situation first!"

Hearing this, Li Feng said with a gloomy expression: "Last night, another absenteeism died mysteriously. Now the people of Xilin Town are panicked and flee one after another, and even the mining of mineral deposits has to be stopped. This year's scheduled share of Xuanjing Iron is afraid that it will not be completed. ”

Xuanjing iron ore belongs to Taixuanzong's property, and he is only responsible for guarding and mining. Around Xilin Town, there are no wealthy families coveting it, and there are no demon beasts and evil spirits making trouble, this task can be described as safe and easy, and the remuneration is expensive, which is an important source of income for the Li family. Now there are accidents one after another, not only the clansmen have suffered heavy casualties, but he also has to bear the responsibility of poor management.

Ren Tao said solemnly: "Where is the deceased? Take us to see." ”

"Guys, please. Li Feng led everyone to the Li family's inner house.

When he came to the inner house, Ren Tao's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he saw nine corpses placed on the ground. Although covered with a white cloth, the exposed part is no different from a dried corpse.

Su Mo looked puzzled and reached out to lift a piece of white cloth.

I saw that this corpse was dark and black, with a wide open mouth, bulging eyes, bloodshot pupils, and no essence and blood. It can be guessed that the deceased must have experienced extremely horrific things during his lifetime.

Ren Tao's face was gloomy, and he had a faint bad premonition, and said in a deep voice: "Lift all the white cloths!"

Hearing this, Su Mo and the three of them lifted all the white cloths, and one by one corpses appeared, and the air in the entire inner house seemed to be much colder.

"This chest was pierced. ”

"This hand and foot are broken. ”

"This neck is broken!"

"This heart has been taken out!"

......

Ren Tao gently pressed the corpse's abdomen and said, "The essence and blood of the deceased's whole body were sucked away, obviously it was done by the Demon Dao monk. ”

The devil's path is a misguided path, a deviation in deeds, and a rush to achieve success. Although it can be greatly increased in a short period of time, greed, delusions, resentments, and obsessions will also take root in the heart, becoming hidden dangers and even demons. Once it can't be suppressed, it will be completely ruined at best, and at worst, it will lose its mind and become a monster that only knows how to kill!

Therefore, in the Taixuan Sect, the beginning of each immortal method and immortal recipe will emphasize that the practitioner should always be in a state of mind and abide by his own heart. The so-called heart does not come out, delusions do not enter, and righteous thoughts according to the law are accessible. Only in this way can the cultivation be able to reach a higher level, and the avenue can be expected!

Li Feng said in a dry voice: "Demon cultivators, it's impossible for demon cultivators to suck human blood, right?"

Although for thousands of years, Taixuanzong has experienced repeated wars and turmoil, and its strength has no longer in its heyday, attracting many demons to covet it. There are often demonic cultivators who infiltrate the Three Kingdoms, or go on a killing spree, or kidnap mortals, or carry out conspiracies to provoke turmoil.

But after all, it is under the jurisdiction of Taixuanzong, there is a strong suppression by the Law Enforcement Palace, and there is a continuous sweep by the Tianlin Royal Family, in recent years, there are very few demon cultivators who dare to be so rampant and openly challenge the bottom line of Taoist cultivation.

Ren Tao shook his head and said: "Demon cultivators are cruel and murderous, and they will do whatever it takes to improve their cultivation. Such as the bloodsucking Dafa of the Corpse Puppet Sect, the Blood Cloud Demon Skill of the Taiyin Sect, the Nine Turns of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and so on. Of course, these immortal methods are of a very high grade and have a great reputation, and ordinary demon cultivators should not be able to touch them. ”

"Isn't Xilin Town dangerous?"

Li Feng's face turned pale, if he was really a master of demon cultivation, then who could resist it?

Han Jian comforted: "Don't worry, the Li family master, this demon's cultivation can't be too high. Otherwise, they wouldn't have singled out cultivators who had cultivated in one realm. ”

Xilin Town is just a remote town, and if it weren't for the support of a rich reserve of Xuaniron ore, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to form a village. Up and down the town, the highest cultivation is Li Feng who built the foundation realm.

Since the demon cultivator did not take Li Feng as a hunting target, it means that his strength is very limited. It may even be that they are new to the Demon Dao, and with the cultivation of the four of them, there is no need to worry at all. The most important thing is that if you can capture this fang alive, with the hatred of the sect for demon cultivation, there will definitely be a rich reward.

Thinking of this, Han Juan's heart was hot, and he couldn't wait for the demon cultivator to appear in front of him immediately.

"Up and down Xilin Town, it's all up and down to you!"

The Li family has been based here for a hundred years, and the ancestral shrine is here, so naturally there is no escape. Li Feng had no other way but to pin his hopes on Su Mo and the others.

When night came, Han Jian gathered everyone together and said solemnly: "Li Feng has placed the people in the town in the ancestral hall, protected by the big array, and there should be no danger for the time being. The four of us are guarding the four sides and waiting for the rabbit. Once you find the traces of the demon cultivator, try to entangle the other party first, and then seek rescue, and strive to kill them on the spot!"

Ren Tao hesitated slightly: "Regarding the strength of this fang, it's all speculation, wouldn't it be too risky if we were all separated?" It's better to be like this, Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Chen have just broken through, it's better to divide the two of them into a group, and have a good response." ”

Han Jian pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Late at night, a waning moon hung in the night sky, the heavens and the earth were quiet, Su Mo and Chen Jue sat in the hidden place in the north of the ancestral hall, silently pranayama.

Chen Jue opened his eyes and saw that the atmosphere was heavy, so he spoke: "Senior Brother Su, do you think the demon cultivator will come?"

Su Mo smiled: "It will come, but it shouldn't be a demon cultivator." ”

"Oh?!What ......is that?"

"Ahh

In the silence of the town, a terrible scream came from the north.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Immediately afterwards, Ren Tao's frightened voice came.

Su Mo Huo Ran got up, the floor under his feet shattered, and swept due west.

Chen Jue crushed the jade talisman, turned into a blue light, and followed.

But when the two arrived, there was only one body lying on the street. Ren Tao brandished his long sword and was chasing a burly black shadow.

Just as the two of them wanted to step forward to support, a loud noise suddenly came from the south. It was clear that there was more than one person coming.

Su Mo said quickly: "Senior Brother Chen, you go to support Senior Brother Han, leave it to me here." ”

"Okay, junior brother, be careful!" Chen Jue held a long knife and flew towards the south decisively.

Su Mo shuttled through the clouds, and after a short time, he left Xilin Town and came to the sky above a forest.

The golden light in his eyes flowed, and Su Mo could vaguely see that a man in black with stiff movements was fighting Ren Tao in close combat, and had the upper hand, suppressing Ren Tao to the death, and the danger was full of danger!

Before he had time to think about it, Su Mo swooped down and said, "Senior Brother Ren, I'm here to help you!"

Ren Tao's voice trembled, and he said loudly: "Senior brother, be careful! This fang is not a demon cultivator at all, but an invulnerable hundred-year-old bronze corpse, and even a medium-grade spiritual weapon can't break through its defense!"
