Chapter 19: The Bones of the Corpse
"Disciple doesn't dare!" Li Daxiao came to his senses at this time, hurriedly fell to the ground and bowed, and said: "Meet the Great Elder!" The disciple saw your old face for the first time, and his heart was very excited, so he was a little out of shape just now, please punish the Great Elder. "I have to say that Li Daxiao's adaptability is very strong, and after a few words of explanation, people can't find too much fault.
Meng Ping, Wu and Chen also came back to their senses and fell to their knees.
Since then, Deng An, who is still standing, looks very abrupt.
At this time, Meng Ping felt extremely honored to be able to have the honor to meet Elder Yu, and completely forgot about Deng An, the main soul of the soul flag, and did not recruit it back at the first time.
Deng An was very speechless about this, he couldn't get too far away from the soul flag, he could only watch the four disciples of the Ghost Suppression Gate salute as a bystander.
"Get up!" Elder Yu just glanced at the four disciples, but didn't take them to heart, he looked at Deng An in surprise, and asked, "Whose soul is this?"
However, all the main souls of the soul flags have a unique sealing formation in their bodies, and Elder Yu, as the authority of the Ghost Suppression Sect, can naturally see it at a glance.
"Back to the Great Elder, Deng An is the main soul of the disciple. Meng Ping hurriedly stepped forward to reply.
Only then did Elder Yu look at Meng Ping with his eyes, then shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I have only cultivated the cultivation of the third layer of qi, no wonder I have signed a soul contract with this meditation cultivation. ”
"It's the incompetence of the disciple and the humiliation of the teacher. Meng Ping heard that Elder Yu's tone was displeased, and cold sweat was suddenly dripping on his forehead, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at the other party.
When Li Daxiao and the three of them heard this, their faces invariably showed disdain. As a disciple of the Ghost Suppression Sect, it is a very disgraceful thing to compromise with ghosts.
"Since you have signed a soul contract with him, I will not embarrass you. ”
After Elder Yu finished speaking, he casually shot a spirit beam at Deng An.
Deng An didn't know what the other party's intentions were, and instinctively wanted to dodge, but he was shocked to find that he couldn't move an inch, and could only watch as the beam of light penetrated the soul body and hit the strange bone from the multi-nail mud crocodile. In this process, Deng An did not feel any discomfort, the other party was obviously not aimed at him, the tight string in his heart was slightly looser, and he was in the mood to observe the changes in his bones.
After the bone was hit, it emitted a burst of black light, and the beam of light emitted by Elder Yu was quickly annihilated along with these black lights, and the bone returned to its original appearance.
Elder Yu is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, even if he does it casually, the power of that beam of light is definitely much stronger than that of a disciple in the Qi cultivation stage, Meng Ping and the four of them looked at all this dumbfounded, constantly guessing the origin of the bones in their hearts.
But no matter how much they want to break their heads, they can't think of a clue.
Elder Yu seemed to have expected it, his face did not change in any way, and with a gesture of his hand, the bone made it break away from Deng An's soul body and fly into his hand. Elder Yan seemed to have thought of something, looked at the bone with a strange expression, and then looked at Deng An with envy.
"Sure enough, it's a corpse bone. Elder Yu shook his head regretfully, and threw the bones back to Deng An, "It's a pity that it's a first-order demon beast, otherwise, the old man might buy the old with the old and forcibly ask for it." You're lucky this time, it's cheaper for you. ”
Even the eldest elder was almost moved, it can be seen that this bone is valuable, Li Daxiao and the others looked at Deng An's gaze, and suddenly became eager, but soon, there was a roar in their heads, which shocked several people into a cold sweat, and it turned out that it was Elder Yu who let out a cold snort.
Elder Yu didn't want to delay, he quickly threw out the flying sword, and the whole person turned into a streamer and disappeared into the mist, and Elder Yan followed and jumped on his flying sword.
However, before leaving, he did not forget to warn a few people: "Private fighting is strictly forbidden in the ghost gate, if I find out, immediately abolish the cultivation and expel the door wall, you can do it yourself." In addition, the corpse demon bone is a meditation thing, you have no use, you don't need to fight its idea. ”
After finishing speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Li Daxiao and the others.
"The disciples strictly follow the teachings of the elders and dare not disobey them. ”
Li Daxiao and the three of them were like a man's back, so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe. Elder Yan said this, which clearly meant something, although they didn't do it just now, but fools could see that they were going to be unfavorable to Meng Ping. Li Daxiao couldn't help but be jealous of Meng Ping's luck, not only was he lucky, but even the main soul with the soul banner was also lucky.
With Elder Yan's warning, where did Li Daxiao and the others dare to trouble Meng Ping, almost Elder Yan walked on the front foot, and they left on the back foot.
Deng An got the corpse demon bone, but he didn't know how to use it, and the Great Elder Yu only said that it was a spiritual cultivation thing, but he didn't tell it what it was used for. As for Meng Ping, it was the first time he had heard of the term corpse demon bones, and like Deng An, he was confused.
At Deng An's request, Meng Ping made a promise that when he returned to Yanyin Peak, he would immediately check the collection of books in the sect to see if he could find some relevant information.
After the mudflats, further on, there is a small lake about 100 miles wide, and among the hundreds of lakes in Baiyue Lake, its area is enough to rank in the top ten.
At this moment, above the lake, the two of them flew with Edgeworth.
"It's too unexpected that corpse demon bones can be found in Baiyue Lake. The Great Elder, several senior brothers and core disciples, most of the main souls of the human soul banner do not have corpse demon bones, whether to announce this news in the sect, let them all try their luck. ”
"No need! The multi-armor mud crocodile has a special living environment, so it can nourish the corpse demon bones. Although there are more than ten mudflats in the Baiyue Lake area, there are too few surviving demon beasts, and in terms of quantity, the possibility of finding the corpse demon bones is extremely low, and that disciple can only say that his luck is extremely good. Moreover, if this matter is announced in the name of the sect, it will cause the illusion that a large number of corpse demon bones can be found in Baiyue Lake, which will attract the attention of other sects. One Water Cloud Sect is enough to give people a headache, don't you think Baiyue Lake is chaotic enough?"
"It's that I didn't think about it and didn't think about this layer. ”
"Alas, your only drawback is that you are too impatient. This retreat will definitely enter the late stage of foundation building, and then you will not be able to take the position of the head of the sect, and the burden of the ghost gate will be handed over to you, I hope you can correct it in time, and don't let me be disappointed. ”
"Great Elder Xie for his teachings!"
"Let's go, think seriously about it on the way, how to deal with the relationship with the Water Cloud Sect, although Baiyue Lake is not clearly our territory, but this is the closest to our mountain gate, and we have been managing it for thousands of years, how can the Water Cloud Sect come as soon as it is said, not to mention that that thing has reached a critical period, let alone miss something. ”
"Yes!" The two sword lights disappeared in an instant.
Soon after returning to the Dao Sect, there were core disciples who came to find Meng Ping, hoping that he could let the corpse demon bones out. The price offered by a few people made Meng Ping a little moved, but he was powerless, so he had to ask Deng An's consent for the matter. Since Deng An knew that this thing was used for meditation, he couldn't put it down, so he was willing to give it up easily, no matter who it was, he refused it in one go.
This made those core disciples who were usually high in the sky jealous, but the Great Elder had already acquiesced to the fact that the corpse demon bone belonged to Deng An, and none of them dared to take it by force.
A year passed in a hurry, and Meng Ping was lucky enough to advance to the fourth level of qi training. Due to the low value of the cultivation things required for low-level meditation cultivation, Meng Ping was occasionally able to trade some inferior Yin Spirit Beads and Black Leaf Grass and other things, and Deng An's cultivation had also improved a lot, if he was divided by reference to the level of monks, he was about the third layer of the Qi cultivation period, and basically caught up with Meng Ping.
There is a rule in the Demon Suppression Sect that every disciple must report the progress of cultivation to the master every year. On this day, Meng Ping explained the situation to Elder Yan and left Yanyin Peak with Deng An.
Meng Ping's master's name is Wang Yiping, and a large part of the reason why he fell in love with Meng Ping at the beginning was that Meng Ping's name also had a flat character.
Wang Yiping's cultivation qualifications are also not very good, thirty years ago, relying on a great opportunity, he accidentally ate an unknown spiritual grass, and he inexplicably became a foundation building monk. Later, based on his description, Elder Yu speculated that it might be an extremely rare Yuan Marrow Grass, and the number of this strange grass in the entire cultivation realm would not exceed ten.
Because Wang Yiping's potential is not high, if there is still a great opportunity in this life, it will be the peak in the early stage of foundation building, and Elder Yu Da arranged a job for him to go to Ju Country to serve as a national teacher and be the spokesperson of the Zhenghost Gate in the secular world.
For the other monks in the foundation building period of the Ghost Gate, the spiritual energy in the secular world is small and miscellaneous, which is not conducive to cultivation, and no one is willing to undertake this errand, but Wang Yiping is different, he knows that it is difficult to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, so it is better to enjoy the glory and wealth, so he is happy.
However, in Meng Ping's view, Wang Yiping's appointment as a national teacher is not pure enjoyment, and he may also be tasked with the task of the Great Elder, which is the inside story that only the high-level of the Ghost Sect is qualified to know, and it is not something that an ordinary disciple of him can understand.
Wang Yiping owned two palaces, one in the capital Changju City, and the other in Nanyuan City, and he often traveled back and forth between the two places, living here for a few days and living there for a few days. Originally, Meng Ping reported to him the progress of his cultivation, and he could go to any palace, but he specified that Meng Ping must rush to the palace in the capital, according to his words, he accepted such a disciple, and he couldn't deal with it indiscriminately, and the palace in Nanyuan City belonged to the side hall, and the matter of supervising Meng Ping's cultivation belonged to the official affairs of the sect, and it must be in the main hall of the capital to show solemnity.
Changju City is located in the west of Ju Kingdom, and the distance from Nanyuan City to Yanyin Peak is comparable, these three places are basically in the three points of an equilateral triangle, Deng An and Meng Ping took more than 20 days to arrive at Changju City. They arrived in the morning, the most crowded time of the day, and there was a mile-long queue from the city gates, where a group of soldiers kept order, and from time to time shouted and cursed the unruly pedestrians.
Meng Ping didn't line up, went straight to a small door, and handed a token to the guard, among which the little leader saw that it was the token of the national teacher, and he didn't dare to stop it, so he immediately let him go.
Changju City has a population of more than 3 million, and there is no need to elaborate on its prosperity. Returning to the old place and listening to the noise on the street, Deng An felt a little sad. When he left the city two years ago, he had made countless illusions, but he didn't expect to return as a ghost.
On the way here, Deng An and Meng Ping re-mentioned the matter of looking for the enemy, Meng Ping revealed a not very good news, three months ago, Wang Changshun had privately recognized Wang Yiping as his uncle, which made Meng Ping have some scruples, worried about offending his master because of this matter.
However, Meng Ping promised to abide by the original agreement and would help him try his best to investigate.
