Chapter 604: Booby-Trap
Qiao Yuan heard Jiang Mu's mournful cry, and hurriedly followed her gaze, only to see two bloody men lying on top of a pile of white bones in the lower right corner.
The two men were Jiang Feng and Jiang Liang, and although their appearance was not as miserable as the Guozi-faced monk they had seen before, they were not much different.
The chest, abdomen, and limbs were blurred with flesh and blood, the facial expression was painful and hideous, the eyes were wide open, and the pupils were gray, obviously invaded by resentment.
Because he heard the sound of fierce fighting before, Qiao Yuan thought that Jiang Feng had prepared some means to deal with those two demon beasts, but he didn't expect that he would also be poisoned.
His gaze swept over, and Qiao Yuan found a white-faced jade monk with Xiang Tian and his party in the distance, but he didn't see the only female cultivator.
didn't have time to think about anything else, Qiao Yuan hurriedly dodged, reached out and grabbed Jiang Mu, who was grief-stricken and had already jumped into the abyss, and whispered comfort.
"Fairy Jiang Mu, there is a lot of resentment below, you have injuries in your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist it, so don't take risks. ”
"But my eldest brother and fourth brother ......"
Jiang Mubei bit her lower lip tightly, and the tears couldn't stop running down the corners of her eyes as she spoke, with that extremely sad expression, it was really pitiful and pitiful.
"Well, you're waiting here. ”
Qiao Yuan sighed helplessly, with a slight force, he sent Jiang Mu back into the hole, turned around and flew straight to the bottom of the abyss.
It stands to reason that he has fulfilled his promise by escorting Jiang Feng and the others here safely, and he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, even if he doesn't want to take risks at the moment and turn around and leave, Jiang Mu has nothing to say.
But as soon as he came, Jiang Feng had a sharp temperament and was a bright and upright person, Qiao Yuan took him as a friend, and when a friend was in trouble, he naturally would not sit idly by.
The second is that Qiao Yuan also needs Jiang Mu to help refine the Yang Replenishing Pill, anyone here can have an accident, but she must not have an accident, otherwise this trip will be in vain.
This underground cavity was in the shape of a round platform, and the further down it went, the wider the space became, and similarly, the resentment became more and more intense, and even Qiao Yuan could see wisps of gray-white smoke floating in those white bone skeletons.
When he saw those cigarettes, his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and after the fake Xiangtian was extinguished, it turned into a gray-white mist that dissipated, and the gray-white mist was very similar to the smoke.
"Could it be that the demon beast is transformed by resentment?"
This guess suddenly appeared in Qiao Yuan's heart, but after only a moment, he shook his head, a little puzzled.
If the demon beast was transformed by resentment, then why didn't he feel the slightest resentment when he fought with it.
With questions, Qiao Yuan quickly came to Jiang Feng and Jiang Liang's side.
The resentment here was already strong to the point of almost materialization, if it weren't for Qiao Yuan's divine sense being strong enough, I am afraid that he would have been disenchanted by the resentment at this moment, and he would have been delirious.
"There's still breath!"
Qiao Yuan probed and unexpectedly found that the golden pill of the two had not been taken away, and it still glowed with an extremely faint light.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his fingers into a sword, and hurriedly sealed their various key points, so as not to invade the dantian with resentment, otherwise at that time, it would really be difficult for the gods to save.
Unwilling to stay longer, Qiao Yuan made a move with his right hand, mobilized his spiritual power to support the bodies of the two, and wanted to fly upward.
But as soon as he flew up, he was in shape, and when he looked down, he saw Jiang Feng's left hand firmly grasping the hand bones of a skeleton.
Qiao Yuan's expression froze, and after a closer look, he found that Jiang Feng was still holding a spar that emitted a faint red light in his hand.
Although he didn't know the spar, seeing that the skeleton hand bone he grabbed seemed to glow red, Qiao Yuan guessed that this spar was very likely to be a treasure that Jiang Feng was looking for the bones of the ancestors.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan took out the skeleton in the spirit of being a good person to the end and sending the Buddha to the west.
The white bones here are pressed one by one, and with the passage of time, when the skeleton is taken out, only half of it remains.
But even with this half of the corpse, he still saw a white jade bracelet hanging on the left wrist of the skeleton with his eyes like lightning.
The bracelet shook slightly, colliding with the hollow bones, making a crisp and faint sound, which seemed extremely abrupt in this gloomy pile of white bones.
"Storage bracelets!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and he subconsciously said loudly.
Then, driven by that curiosity, he flew up with Jiang Feng and the others, and at the same time probed his divine sense into the storage bracelet and swept it.
Qiao Yuan didn't have the slightest interest in the Yunyang Danshu, the reason why he looked at this storage bracelet was mainly to see if the ancestors of the Jiang family had any records about this place.
His divine sense automatically filtered out the elixir, magic weapon, spirit stone, and other items, and focused on the jade inside to roughly sweep through.
What made Qiao Yuan's expression change slightly was that he actually found a jade slip that recorded the forbidden source in it.
To be exact, it was a jade slip that recorded what the ancestors of the Jiang family and others encountered when they entered the forbidden source.
Qiao Yuan's divine sense automatically ignored the first half of the experience, and directly looked at the events after the Jiang family's ancestors entered Yunyan Gorge.
It turned out that the Yunyang Danshu was obtained from the cave of a Jindan Dzogchen monk of the Minglai Sect who killed a demon beast.
After that, the news leaked out for some reason, and the birth of Yunyang Danshu caused a lot of uproar.
Many monks gave up looking for the treasure of heaven and earth, and began to look for that monk, and among them were the ancestors of the Jiang family.
The monk was cornered, so he had no choice but to take a risk and break into the Yunyan Gorge, which was heavily forbidden.
The ancestors of the Jiang family chased into it and fought with several Yuan Infant monks of the Minglai Sect, and in the end they were both defeated.
And the other monks who chased into Yunyan Gorge were not much better, and some of them had not even seen the Yunyang Danshu, so they regretted falling inside.
But even with such heavy losses, no one still caught up with the monk, and many people wondered why he, a Jindan Great Perfection monk, could travel unhindered in this Yunyan Gorge.
Among the monks who pursued him, many of them were Yuan Infant monks from famous families, and even those Yuan Infant monks of the Ming Lai Sect were his uncles and uncles.
When Qiao Yuan saw this, he had a guess in his heart, whether the monk who had obtained the Yunyang Danshu in the secret path should be a demon beast change and deliberately led them to this Yunyan Gorge.
The truth was a little different from his guess, but it wasn't entirely wrong.
Soon after he came to Yunyan Gorge, the Jindan monk who obtained the Yunyang Danshu was controlled by the two demon beasts with resentment, so he was able to travel freely between the forbidden and lured the cultivators to the cave.
Knowing this, Qiao Yuan's expression became more and more solemn, but in the midst of the lightning, he suddenly had a terrible guess.
"Could it be that the ancestor of the Jiang family who escaped back then was the bait deliberately released by the two demon beasts?"
Thinking of this, he only felt a chill down his spine, cold sweat broke out, as if there was an invisible net covering the sky, just like the clouds and mist on the Yunyan Gorge, making it difficult for people to see the hands of conspiracy above the clouds.
Qiao Yuan immediately stopped his figure, and with a movement of his senses, he took out the jade slip and held it in the palm of his hand.
After a few deep breaths, Qiao Yuan hurriedly sent Jiang Feng and Jiang Liang to Jiang Mu's side and asked her to treat the wounds for the two of them.
On the other side, the sound of fighting continued to come from the hole in the opposite stone wall, and listening to its voice, it was Xiang Tian and Qinglian who were fighting with the two demon beasts.
Qiao Yuan thought about it, and did not immediately go over to support, but let go of his palm and looked at the jade slip again.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, those two demon beasts are obviously not ordinary beasts, if you don't know their weaknesses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill them.
As soon as the ancestors of the Jiang family and the others came here, they were shocked by the resentment here, but after all, they were all Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, and it was still difficult for them to be hurt by the resentment.
However, at this time, the Jindan period monk suddenly appeared and gave the Yunyang Danshu to the ancestors of the Jiang family and others.
Seeing this, the other monks were naturally unwilling, especially several Yuan Infant monks of the Minglai Sect, who were even more angry, scolding him for deceiving his teacher and destroying his ancestors, and actually killed the Jindan monk on the spot.
According to the records of the Jade Jane, several Yuan Infant monks of the Ming Lai Sect were already injured, and after experiencing such great sorrow and anger, a strong resentment took advantage of the void and dominated their minds.
The monk who is dominated by resentment is a red-eyed beast, completely denied by his six relatives, and kills people when he encounters them.
At that time, there were hundreds of monks in this cave, but in just three days, half of them fell here, and most of the monks who were still alive were also invaded by resentment and delirious.
The ancestors of the Jiang family and others fled while fighting, but in the end three people fell, and only two survived.
But these two people were also on the verge of death, and it was difficult to escape, and one of them, a monk with a little sense, recorded what he saw and heard when he entered the forbidden source in a jade slip when the limit of self-control was approaching.
I hope that if a monk comes here in the future and is lucky enough to see this jade slip, he will be cautious and leave this place as soon as possible.
When Qiao Yuan saw this, he couldn't help sighing, their death was not caused by the two demon beasts, but the greed in their hearts was infinitely magnified, and in the end, they hurt themselves.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yuan continued to look down.
"When he was dying, he suddenly saw two beasts fall here, and he breathed back to my brother, and then revived my brother and fled from this place. ”
Seeing this, Qiao Yuan's back felt a chill, and cold sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
Sure enough, as he guessed, the ancestor of the Jiang family who left this place alive did not escape by luck, but was deliberately let go by the two demon beasts to lure the monk here.
There are tens of thousands of bones piled up here, and you can imagine how many monks have been lured here and fallen here for thousands of years.
But what was the purpose of those two demon beasts who were planning to trap and kill so many monks, Qiao Yuan didn't believe that they just wanted to devour the flesh and blood of the monks.
"The two beasts returned to smoke and dust, turned into nothingness, and seemed to be everywhere, swallowing endless grievances, eating away at the corpses of cultivators, and cultivating through this, Yu Pingsheng had never seen it in his life, and he was afraid of it. ”
After Qiao Yuan finished reading the last sentence of this jade slip, his mind was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Swallowing out resentment, eating corpses, and cultivating demon beasts in this way, he didn't say anything about seeing them, even if he had never heard of them.
