Chapter 104: Strange Painting and Dead Remains Eight
The underground canyon of Ruyuan is twisted and turned, and the other side is blocked by the body of a giant snake, so you can't see the situation on that side, but the rock wall of the canyon on our side is hideous, more dangerous and steep than the cliff, and even the protruding stones are one by one, like spikes.

When we rushed over, Pang Youren and other forty or fifty Immortal Hall disciples were standing at a narrow pass, and a group of people were talking. The canyon had become a little narrower by this point, and the fire was a little dim, and the body of the giant serpent was close to the stone wall on this side, and from a distance, it looked as if its body had suddenly broken off.
Seeing us coming, the dozens of Immortal Hall disciples all hugged Yang Zhixing: "Meet the Lord of the Sheep Altar." ”
Yang Zhixing waved his hand, looked at Pang Youren, and asked directly, "Master Pang Tan, where are the bones?"
Pang Youren's face was a little gloomy, and he pointed to a hole in the ground under the giant snake, and said, "Here." It looks like the bones of an old man. ”
I looked down. In the dimness, I saw that in this uneven hole, a dry skeleton was leaning against the black snake flesh of the hole, and the skeleton was still covered with a little scorched skin, gray messy hair, and a black robe. The robe was draped loosely over the bones, not at all proportional to the thin bones, and the two black dry eye sockets were eerie, lying in the holes indescribably weird.
Yang Zhixing straightened up, but a huge eye was staring at the skeleton, and Pang Youren next to him said in a deep voice: "Yang altar master, what do you think?"
Yang Zhixing shook his head and muttered: "It's really strange, it stands to reason that there can't be any bones left in the spirit cave, and it's in the hole of the fish-headed monster, how can those monsters turn a blind eye? ”
It seems that Yang Zhixing doesn't know why. I wondered. Indeed, the ferocity of the fish-headed monster is beyond our imagination, where they pass, even the corpses of their own companions will not let go, often a fish-headed monster dies, they will rush up to coax the food, we can retreat to the dragon cave, a small part of the reason is because many fish-headed monsters only care about the corpses of their companions and have no time to take care of us. Thinking about it now, I have palpitations in my heart again, if the fish-headed monster was only focused on our group of people at that time, I am afraid that the remaining number of people in the Immortal Hall would be even smaller now.
The color of this corpse is already very dull, and it has been dead for I don't know how many years, since this is the case, why didn't the fish-headed monster eat this dead corpse?
Who is this?
I was thinking about it, Yang Zhixing turned his head to look at Pang Youren, and said, "Master Pang Tan, you have been investigating for so long, but what else have you found?"
Pang Youren's face turned pale, and he said, "In addition to this skeleton, we have also found many caves leading to the underground in the depths of these holes, which are exactly the same as those on the stone walls of the outer passages! ”
Yang Zhixing nodded, looked up at the cliff on our side, and said in a low voice: "That's it, the stone wall of the Spirit Cave is a diamond rough stone, and the solidity is not much worse than that of the Shenlong Gate, but the ground is loose soil, and if the fish-headed monster wants to rush out of the Spirit Cave, it can only dig a hole from the ground." ”
Pang Youren frowned, looked at the corpses in the hole, and said, "You mean that this person also came in from a hole dug in the ground?"
I was a little stunned. Pang Youren's statement is a bit unrealistic, but it is not impossible. It's just that if this person digs a hole in the ground, where did he dig the hole? And this spiritual cave is in the ground, and he doesn't know how deep it is, if he digs a hole to get in, then how long will it take to dig this place?
I thought about it for a while, and I couldn't help but scratch my right arm. By the time my muscles and bones became stronger, the long wound on my right arm had already healed as before, and I could no longer see any scars, but after returning to my normal body, my right arm was still a little itchy.
Yang Zhixing nodded slowly, and said after a while: "I think so." However, this person's corpse was not eaten by the fish-headed monster, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
Pang Youren asked tightly: "Why does the owner of the sheep altar think?"
Yang Zhixing turned his giant eyes and muttered: "If the old man guesses correctly, most of the fish-headed monsters born in the spirit snake's body are related to this person, and maybe, it is this person who raised the fish-headed monster in the spirit snake's body." ”
There was some uncertainty in his words, but it was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, and we all gasped. Pang Youren's face was also full of disbelief, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. I asked, "How do you know?"
Yang Zhixing said: "This is just a guess from this seat. However, those fish-headed monsters are very similar to ghost boys, in the Western Regions, the people who raise ghost boys feed ghost boys with their own blood, so that the growing ghost boys will listen to their calls, unless there is an extremely bad backlash phenomenon, the ghost boys are likely to eat the owner, otherwise, even if the people raised turn into dry bones, the ghost boys will not move to raise people. From this point of view alone, that would explain why this skeleton can still be compared with the corpse of the spirit snake. ”
As he said this, I couldn't help but feel a little abrupt, and I couldn't help but think of the rats I had encountered on the way to the Death Swamp. The group of rats were also raised by people to be ghosts, but the rats we encountered were already in a state of regurgitation, so they ate their owners.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt so, otherwise with the ferocity of the fish-headed monster, how could there be a single bit of food left?
Pang Youren looked at the bones, the look of surprise on his face was beyond measure, and said, "But this is a person after all, where did he get so much essence blood to raise fish-headed monsters?"
Yang Zhixing shook his head and said, "You don't know witchcraft, you don't know how powerful it is. Raising a ghost boy with its own blood is not about the amount of blood, but mixing it with poisonous insects and poisonous weeds to prepare Gu poison, as long as the Gu poison contains the blood of the nourishing person. When he said this, he let out a long sigh, looked at the body of the giant snake, and said, "Once the Gu poison spreads in the flesh and skin, it will produce a large amount of Gu poison, and the powerful Gu poison can poison a river. If this man was really a wizard, then he must have been a great wizard during his lifetime, alas. ”
I didn't expect the Gu poison to be so powerful. I also looked at the huge body of the giant snake and wondered, "But what if this man is not a wizard?"
Yang Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and said dejectedly: "Then I don't know, maybe it's a thief who has been ignored by the fish-headed monster." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Pang Youren snort coldly, and suddenly raised the gun and stabbed the skeleton in the hole, and the tip of the spear pierced into the skeleton like a thorn of carrion.
His hand is as fast as lightning, whether it is a stab or a pick, a spear is like a long hand on his hand, making it extremely chic and free.
I was startled, and the surrounding Immortal Hall disciples retreated to both sides, and they didn't dare to breathe. Pang Youren also seems to have a temper, looking at the trembling appearance of these Immortal Hall disciples around him, I am afraid that Pang Youren is also notoriously ruthless in the Immortal Hall.
He slammed the tail of the spear on the ground, and said angrily: "My hall has suffered disasters repeatedly, and now the spirit snake has become a monster's lair again, is it true that God wants to kill my immortal hall!"
I thought that Pang Youren would put the blame for all this on the Seven Great Sects, and maybe he would also say a few curses. However, I was shocked to see that his eyes were already a little moist, and even the dozens of Immortal Hall disciples who were on the side lowered their heads and hung their heads in despair.
Maybe they are all members of the Demon Sect, but their spirit of wanting to restore the sect is not unfaithful.
At this time, Yang Zhixing said with some sorrow: "Master Pang Tan doesn't have to be discouraged, the sky is endless, when we rush out of the swamp of death, recuperate, recruit troops and buy horses, with this batch of wealth in hand, why worry that my Immortal Hall will not be revitalized?"
A disciple of the Immortal Hall said: "What the Lord of the Sheep Altar said is right, we have this batch of treasures, and we will definitely be able to hold my hall again after we go out." ”
This sentence invisibly played a role in fueling the flames, and the other disciples of the Immortal Hall also lifted their spirits one after another, sweeping away the color of the decadent Tang Dynasty. Pang Youren has now calmed down, and his eyes gradually have a gleam, he nodded and looked at Yang Zhixing, and said: "Yes, the spark can still start a prairie fire, what do we have to be afraid of!
