Chapter 9: A Little Test (2)
Jinyang Sect, a hidden waterhole somewhere.
A monster resembling a rhinoceros slumped on the slope of the pool, motionless. This beast is about four or five zhang long, gray-brown all over, and a golden horn on its forehead is particularly eye-catching, this is the Zhenzong spirit beast in He Tian's mouth. Although the spirit beast is no longer alive, its golden horn still exudes amazing spiritual power, shining with golden light.
The waterhole is about half an acre in size, leaning on a low peak dozens of zhang high, surrounded by verdant, reflecting the pool water turquoise.
There were three men standing around the corpse, it was He Tian, Liu Yiwen and Ming Zhi. They didn't discuss the results yesterday, and they came to the place of the incident early this morning to investigate.
As He Tian said, in addition to a few scars on the golden horned rhino's body, there are a few slender new marks on the stone wall behind the waterhole.
Liu Yiwen's heart moved slightly, and he flew to the stone wall to take a closer look. The marks are deep, the incision is round, and there is no doubt about the strength of the person who shot it. He was shocked in his heart, and his expression changed slightly.
Mingzhi turned around beside the golden horned rhinoceros a few times, looking at the wound on it again and again, and pondering from time to time. Some of the scars were like sharp objects, while others were just an inch-sized hole, and there were seven or eight such scars.
He Tian didn't know how many times he had seen this place, and the traces of it were already clear in his chest. However, he didn't disturb the investigation of the two, and stood quietly on the side, thinking: Maybe the two of them will find something else?
Mingzhi looked solemn, and occasionally asked two questions, and he answered patiently.
Liu Yiwen looked at the stone wall and made no new discoveries, so he returned to the side of the golden horned rhinoceros. Ming Zhi was observing a blood hole in the beast's body, and said without looking back: "Liu Daoyou, how is it?
Liu Yiwen shook his head and said, "No, but judging from the marks left, it is certain that the person who made the move is strong." ”
Mingzhi frowned and said, "Liu Daoyou, I watched for a long time, but I didn't find the fatal injuries of this beast, it's really strange!" he pointed to a few scars on the corpse, "Look, these are not fatal, why did this beast die?"
Liu Yiwen was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, He Tian smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was also strange, although the other magical powers of the Zhenshan Spirit Beast were ordinary, their defense was amazing, and they were not fatal judging from the scars on their bodies alone. After reading it, the head came to a not very certain conclusion, the spirit beast died of soul annihilation. ”
"Soul annihilation?" Liu Yiwen and the two looked at each other in amazement.
"Yes, since the physical body is generally intact, it can only be that the soul is damaged. He Tian's eyes sparkled.
Liu Yiwen's heart moved slightly, he was no stranger to the damage to his soul, when Yuan Sulan was in a coma for a long time, he had read many classics and studied them in detail.
However, the Yuan Shen is in the spirit platform, and it is not easy to hurt the Yuan Shen. At least it can be done without resistance.
Since there is no power to resist and can be destroyed at will, why bother to destroy the primordial god and take the life of the spirit beast?
The two stood on the spot and pondered, He Tianwu walked to the head of this beast, and then turned its eyelids up with his hand, and said, "Two of you, please look!" Liu Yiwen and the two walked over, "The pupils of the spirit beast are strange, hollow and terrifying, and it should have been tortured before it died." ”
Mingzhi hurriedly leaned over, looked at it a few times, and then rolled up the eyelids on the other side to look at it carefully.
Liu Yiwen looked at it casually, suddenly stood still, a tragic face flashed in his mind, and his heart was horrified. His face instantly became extremely ugly, and he muttered, "Is it it? impossible!"
He had just met the beast pupils, and it gave him a sense of déjà vu. Thinking about it carefully, the appearance of the Qingfeng Hall disciple who was at the bottom of the abyss of Jin Hanfeng and was sucked by the soul dementor beast at the bottom of the abyss of Jin Hanfeng came to his mind, how could he not be shocked. However, the dementor beast had already been killed by Li Yuanbai himself, how could it appear here?
Even so, with the ferocity of the dementor, how could he only take the life of the golden horned rhinoceros, I am afraid that the Jinyang Sect would already be bleeding. This time, the golden horned rhinoceros was executed, and the movement was very small, obviously controlled by man, and the soul dementor should not be so intelligent.
Liu Yiwen thought quickly in his mind, no matter what, the death of the golden horned rhinoceros was most likely related to the Demon Dao.
Mingzhi paused slightly when he heard this, looked back at Liu Yiwen's sluggish face, and said, "Did Liu Yiwen find something?"
He Tian raised his eyebrows, and he also came to his senses, and said, "Liu Daoyou knows the culprit?"
Liu Yiwen said astringently: "The death of the spirit beast may really be related to the Demon Dao. ”
He Tian's eyes widened, and he was stunned, and said, "What? Demon Dao! Do you have a credential?" A monstrous wave surged in his heart, and he couldn't believe that the death of the spirit beast could be related to the Demon Dao.
Mingzhi also groaned slightly, but still had doubts, and said, "Liu Daoyou, can you make it clearer?"
So, Liu Yiwen told in detail about the scene of the vicious battle with the Demon Dao in Niuzhuang more than ten years ago. After the two heard this, they were silent for a long time.
Although Liu Yiwen saw the clues, it didn't mean that he was much better than the people in Jinyang Peak, but he personally participated in that battle and witnessed the strange magic of the soul dementor.
In this way, it can be figured out why this beast died of a soul injury, or that it was not a soul injury, but the beast's soul was taken away by the demon path to feed the evil spirits.
After the Battle of the Abyss, he had heard Li Yuanbai talk about the Dementor Beast. This beast likes to suck the soul to strengthen its body, as if the spirit beast of heaven and earth is the most, think through this section, then everything can make sense. It is no wonder that the extremely rare golden horn on this beast has not moved.
He Tian was stunned and said, "According to Liu Daoyou's meaning, the spirit beast was taken by the Demon Dao to take the beast soul?"
Liu Yiwen sighed lightly: "Probably so!"
Ming Zhi snorted coldly: "The Demon Dao is really cunning, I said how can they be so peaceful, it seems that there are still actions in the dark." ”
He Tian stomped his feet and arched his hand: "This matter is not trivial, I have to immediately show the master." Wait a moment, and I'll go back. Without waiting for the two to reply, they turned into a yellow light and left.
Ming Zhi said with a straight face: "Liu Daoyou, what are your plans next? With your understanding of the Demon Dao, it will be a great help!" He saw Liu Yiwen make a move twice, especially this time when he saw him with one enemy and two enemies, he couldn't help but admire.
Liu Yiwen paused slightly, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The Taoist has a good reputation, how dare he despise it in the next few times he escaped death under the hands of the Demon Dao." Besides, the opponent this time is by no means ordinary, I advise you to make a decision to the elders of the sect. ”
Ming Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded: "What Daoist friends said is very true, this place is only three or four days away from my sect, I will explain this matter to Master Forget Yun and let him decide." Considering the seriousness of the matter, he decided to proceed cautiously after thinking about it.
Liu Yiwen praised kindness again and again, his heart was slightly relieved, and said: "In this case, without further ado, we will leave immediately after saying goodbye to He Zhangjiao." ”
Mingzhi nodded solemnly.
