Yang Shao nodded in agreement, hung up the storage bag, and cast a spell to erase the traces of the fight on the ground, and then took the golden wolf shuttle to follow, and then distanced himself from Yu Lanzhu, one south and one north separated by five or six miles to the east, while carefully searching the mountain woodland, until the moon was about to set, and when the darkness before dawn was coming, Yu Lanzhu suddenly sent a transmission note.

"Senior Brother Yang, come on! There are a lot of refining corpses here, be careful when you come over, don't be discovered!"

Sure enough, there are people here who practice the evil sect exercises, Yang Shao is very disgusted in his heart, sped up his flight speed and reverses a section, and then detours to Yu Lanzhu's side, and after a short time, he landed on a mountain cliff, Yu Lanzhu was hiding behind a tall boulder, looking down the valley from the gap.

Yang Shao approached from behind, and also looked down the mountain from a crack in the stone, he couldn't help but gasp, his back was cold, and his whole body was terrified.

I saw rows of refining corpses sitting cross-legged on the valley, and carefully counted exactly eighteen. These refining corpses were very strange, they actually looked up at the half-round bright moon that was about to fall in the sky one by one, and their big mouths with fangs bared opened and closed, as if they were spitting out cultivation. And on a stone slab behind these refining corpses, there was an old man in a purple robe sitting cross-legged, holding his abdomen with one hand and a handprint in front of him with the other.

Yang Shao took a closer look at the purple-robed old man, and he was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he was surprised in his heart. Suddenly, the purple-robed old man looked up at the moon in the sky, and pointed at his handprints, and the eighteen refining corpses sitting on the ground in front of him suddenly stood up, lined up in three columns and six rows, and walked towards the valley mouth. And the purple-robed old man also jumped up, stepped on the shoulder of a refining corpse when he fell, and commanded eighteen refining corpses to gradually disappear at the mouth of the valley.

Yang Shao suddenly remembered that he had followed the three of the six friends of Kuoshan Mountain all the way to the Hundred Medicine Hall in Jiangyang City and participated in a small underground trade fair, and the purple-robed man who was presiding at that time was wearing a mask, but looking at his body and posture, wasn't it the purple-robed old man in front of him.

Yang Shao looked at Yu Lanzhu and was about to speak, but he didn't want Yu Lanzhu to put a finger between his lips to signal silence, and pointed to the valley again. Yang Shao couldn't help but pause, and continued to look through the crack in the stone, there was nothing in the valley, but after waiting for a while, there was a burst of heavy footsteps, as if some huge monster was stomping.

After a while, the monster appeared, and eighteen white skeletons about one foot tall walked very clumsily and slowly, and every step that fell shook the ground and kicked up dust. These white skeletons not only have large skeletons, but also two green lights flashing in the black holes of their eyes, which look very weird.

And on the shoulders of one of the skeletons, there was also a middle-aged man in a black robe who held his chest with both hands, his face was so white that there was no blood, his eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, his eyes were narrowly squinted, his black lips were tightly pursed, but the corners of his mouth drooped, and his face looked full of fierceness.

As those refining corpses and skeletons left the valley, after waiting for a while, there were no more things and people behind them, and the moon on the horizon disappeared, and the night was dark, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when you stretched out your hand.

The two of them lost their voices for a while, and they didn't dare to say a word, and after a long time, Yu Lanzhu pulled Yang Shao to slowly retreat down the hillside, and walked along the dark woodland for a while, and the sky turned bright, and the dawn appeared in the eastern sky, and the two of them flew back to the small building of the second courtyard of Baicaotang, relatively silent.

"How can it be so easy for the sect to ask the missing junior disciples to see people in life and corpses in death? Those who can control eighteen refining corpses and skeletons can only be done by Zhuji monks, and these seem to be not all their strength, what is more, whether the nest is in Mengqiong Mountain, it is no longer something we can find out. Yu Lanzhu panicked and said helplessly.

Yang Shao nodded and said, "That's right! Even if the four of us act together, we will be sent to death in front of those refining corpses! Moreover, according to what I just observed, those eighteen corpses are all iron corpses, and they are advancing to the bronze corpses, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the advancement will be completed." Let's go to the teleportation cavern and discuss it with the two of them before deciding. ”

The two of them immediately rushed to the east entrance of the cave in Mengqiong Mountain, all the way to the teleportation array cave, Jin Mingyao and Pu Hong were preparing to rotate, but they happened to be there, and they were a little surprised after listening to the two of them, but they heard that it was the Zhuji monk who controlled so many corpse refining skeletons and did not dare to act rashly.

The four of them discussed it and decided that Pu Hong would rush back to the sect in person to report to the sect by taking the teleportation array, and the remaining three would cancel the rotation and stick to the cave ** and wait for the sect to come. But in this way, Yang Shao and Yu Lanzhu lost a little, Yu Lanzhu reasoned with Jin Mingyao, and finally Jin Mingyao stayed alone during the day, and Yang Shao and Yu Lanzhu kept watch at night.

Thinking that there might be a big battle after the sect came, Yang Shao didn't dare to be distracted next, and found a vacant place in the cave to set up a magic circle to cultivate quietly, and sometimes even forgot to replace Yu Lanzhu, and she didn't say anything afterwards. One night half a month later, Yang Shao finally broke through the bottleneck of the eighth layer and successfully advanced to the ninth layer of the qi entrainment period.

After cultivating to the ninth layer, Yang Shao found that not only had his mana increased by nearly two times, but his physical condition also seemed to have improved, and his five senses and six senses had become more acute. Even in the dark night, he could clearly see a small grain of sand on the ground five or six zhang away, and if he put his ear on the stone wall of the cave, he could even hear the breathing of Jin Mingyao in the teleportation array.

This made Yang Shao surprised and excited, and tried the small spell he had practiced again, and found that in the blink of an eye, ten small fireballs could be released with both hands, and the speed was not comparable to the original. The manipulation of ritual weapons, even the simultaneous use of multiple ritual instruments, can also be handy, and it is not cumbersome at all.

After knowing that he had advanced, Jin Mingyao just snorted, but still didn't say anything with a straight face. Yu Lanzhu was very happy, as if she had advanced to the next level, and praised and encouraged her mouth.

That afternoon, Yang Shao was cultivating alone in a cave fork, Yu Lanzhu sent a transmission note, so he hurriedly collected his efforts and rushed back, only to see more than a dozen people from the sect in the teleportation array cave, all dressed in red robes.

Standing on the stone platform next to the teleportation array were two middle-aged men in their forties dressed in crimson robes, who looked extraordinary, and their bodies also exuded extremely powerful spiritual pressure, with a suffocating feeling in their gestures.

When Yang Shao's imperial weapon landed, a middle-aged man with a wide forehead and a square face and a handsome face had a sharp gaze like a knife, and he glanced at it like a substance, and a feeling that his whole body was seen through by this person made Yang Shao panic, and his body couldn't help shaking, and he almost fell off the golden wolf shuttle.

Yu Lanzhu saw it, and immediately took a few steps closer and introduced in a low voice: "On the stone platform are two elders of the outer gate of the Dancheng period, one over there is a lean one called Zhou Han, and the other here is handsome, and the one who looked at you just now is called Yang Zundao, who is said to be the nephew of the outer gate protector Yang Zhentian. In addition, there are four uncles in the foundation building period, and the rest are all outer brothers, so they will all know each other later. ”

Yang Shao smiled and nodded, and he was not interested in having many peers. Yu Lanzhu's whispering appearance made some of the senior brothers under the stone platform look sideways, and suddenly made Yang Shao feel uncomfortable.

Yang Zundao opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has arrived, the matter here is a little tricky, for the sake of safety, the disciples below the tenth layer of the Qi Induction Period will immediately return to the sect, cultivate diligently, and serve the sect better as soon as possible." As for those who have received the task before, after Deacon Qian submits an application, the Council of Elders unanimously agrees to complete it in advance, and the contribution points will not be less. If you have received the task before, and now you still need to continue to stay, the contribution points will be counted separately. Moreover, this is also a rare opportunity to experience, so everyone should take advantage of it. ”

"What needs to be explained, Elder Yang has already made it clear. Zhou has nothing to say, those who should set off are ready to go, and those who should return to the sect should not stay to watch the excitement, if there is a disaster, no one may be able to take care of it. The lean, long-faced Elder Zhou Han stepped down from the stone platform first, waving his hand.

As soon as the two elders announced this, Yang Shao glanced at the crowd, and immediately found that a familiar face was staring at him viciously, it was Zhou Xian. And the elder of the outer gate named Zhou Han is none other than Zhou Xian's uncle.

Yang Shao guessed, continued to scan the crowd, and found that the senior brothers who had just arrived were all above the tenth floor, and Pu Hong had not come back, so he needed to return to the sect by himself, and he was suddenly embarrassed and regretful, so he had to silently walk towards the teleportation array.
