Zhu Youzhen crawled in the tunnel for a long time, still as fast as a lizard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

His breathing was even, his physical strength was abundant, and he did not feel tired at all from crawling for a long time, and he was used to this kind of practice method, which was equivalent to cultivation.

After climbing for a while, he came to a pit where several people could stand side by side, he straightened up, walked up the stone steps in the pit, walked to the upper edge of the big pit, pushed away the heavy stone slabs on it, and climbed out of the pit.

After resetting the slate, Zhu Youzhen straightened up and let out a long breath.

This is an abandoned pickle shop in the city, and the salty flavor of pickles is still filled with the site where the pickles are fermented and dried.

Zhu Youzhen walked to a cellar that was once used to store pickles, twisted the hidden mechanism, and opened a basement.

The basement is huge, and when you enter the basement, the first thing that catches your eye is a pool of blood.

Zhu Youzhen was familiar with the way to reset the mechanism, and the stone door in the basement was closed.

The room was filled with blood.

Smell sick.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't even frown, he came to the edge of the pool and said to the pool: "Holy Master, the one-year period has arrived, and I am here to give you a soul." ”

The blood in the pool of blood fluctuated, and something seemed to swim at the bottom of the pool, and as the water rippled more and more, the pool boiled violently, as if a large amount of quicklime had been thrown into a pool of clear water.

Then, the blood in the pool of blood exploded, and a humanoid object poked its head out of the blood.

It's a person!

Half a person, to be exact!

For he had only half of his body, a scaly body like a serpent from the abdominal cavity down, still soaked in a pool of blood.

-- This is a man with the head of a serpent.

This snake man has a clear face, white hair and a shawl, the face of an old man, his body is thin, covered with black veins, because of the blood, it looks indescribably strange and hideous.

He twisted the snake body of the lower half of his body, swam to the edge of the blood pool, and stared at Zhu Youzhen with a pair of eyes: "King Xin, help me absorb the gold dust and Xuanhuang jade of the dark power, did you bring it?"

At this time, the candle flame in the room was dim, and the blood was dripping, like a human flesh slaughterhouse, and the voice of this old man with a snake body was as gloomy as a soul seducer in hell, and he was afraid that ordinary people would have been scared to death a long time ago.

But Zhu Youzhen's eyes when he looked at the old man with the snake body were like looking at the eagle dog raised in his house, majestic and confident. This kind of ruthlessness and calmness as a king is the most valuable thing he has learned in the treacherous turmoil and crisis in the capital for more than ten years.

Zhu Youzhen said lightly: "Brought, if you are ready, Holy Master, we can start." ”

The old man with the snake body smiled and asked, "I, Chen Ziqian, have been in this blood pool that has not seen the light of day for more than a year, believe in the prince, you say, am I ready?"

It turned out that this old man with a snake body turned out to be Xiao Daoling's fellow disciple Chen Ziqian.

A year and a half ago, because of the disagreement on the Xuanli cultivation, he and Xiao Daoling turned against each other, and fought on the Python Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.

But what he didn't expect was that not only did he not die, but he also kept lurking in the capital, using blood witchcraft to heal his injuries and continue his life. And the person he colluded with turned out to be the emperor's own brother, Xinwang Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen lifted a piece of cowhide carpet in front of the blood pool, revealing a large bluestone slab, only to see that on the slate, there was a five-pointed star pattern engraved on it, and a strange charm was engraved on it.

Zhu Youzhen placed the five pieces of atrizune jade that had been divided into five pieces in the baggage on the five sharp corners of the five-pointed star pattern, and then carefully sprinkled a part of the gold dust along the edge of the star pattern. After a while, the entire star pattern was covered in gold dust.

After Zhu Youzhen did all this, he said to Chen Ziqian: "It's okay." The alchemy dark pattern has been arranged. ”

Chen Ziqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I've been practicing for a year, and what I'm waiting for is today." Lord Xin, you step back and hide behind that grooved stone slab, because when you summon the dark power later, it will produce a black flame of the power of the power, which is not a joke. Hey. When he spoke, the lower half of the snake's body would writhe involuntarily, causing the white hair on his head to be covered with blood to shake up, like a dancing snake, very disgusting.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for the reminder." He hid in the groove that had been chiseled in advance.

Chen Ziqian crawled out of the pool of blood, only to see that the lower half of his body was three feet long, and it was as thick as a bucket. After swimming out, the water level of the blood pool dropped a lot.

Chen Ziqian's hands formed a magic seal, and there were words in his mouth, and as the incantation became faster and faster, his body emitted a golden light, and the color was like the gold dust in the five-pointed star pattern.

The light became stronger and stronger, and Chen Ziqian's body generated a soaring force, causing his huge lower half of the snake body to rise together, suspended in the air, and then slowly moved, falling into the center of the alchemy dark demon pattern.

As the body fell, the dark demon pattern ignited with a black quenching light.

The flames fell on Chen Ziqian's body, and Chen Ziqian let out a wolf-like roar.

Hearing such a terrible scream, Zhu Youzhen was unmoved, because Chen Ziqian had already told him that when he summoned the dark power to repair his body with the alchemy dark demon pattern, he would have pain like the corpse of five horses.

After a while, Chen Ziqian's howl stopped.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be curious, raised his head from the groove, and looked in the direction of Chen Ziqian.

I saw that the skin of Chen Ziqian's whole body had cracked, surrounded by black flames. His eyes gleamed red, and his pupils were like furnaces that melt steel. As the black gas condensed in the air was continuously inhaled into his body, Chen Ziqian's snake body was gradually melted by the black fire.

Chen Ziqian collapsed in the center of the Dark Demon Star Pattern with a "snap".

The black flames grew stronger.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly hid in the groove.

Hearing only a "boom", black flames swept overhead, hitting the stone wall, and also burned black marks.

Chen Ziqian let out a heart-rending howl again, and he was shouting: "Believe in the prince, quickly sprinkle other gold dust on my body, ...... quickly."

Zhu Youzhen leisurely got up from the groove, patted the dust on his hands, and then picked up the burden at hand and walked back to the periphery of the Dark Demon Star Pattern.

At this time, Chen Ziqian in the circle had already stripped off the snake body and returned to his human form. But the skin of his whole body was burned, and he lay in the center of the stars like a skinned corpse.

Blood oozed from his muscles.

Blood trickled into the ground red with black flames.

Zhu Youzhen's face shone with an evil light, and he sprinkled all the remaining gold dust in the baggage on Chen Ziqian's body at once.

"Ahh
