Ling Xichen said that the origin of this incident outside the Heavenly Margin Valley was a person, a person named Xiao Rang, a scholar of the Holy Hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ling Xichen's Beast Control Hall, the main hall is in Suzhou, and then there are some branches in some big cities in the south, and the Xinzhou branch is the more powerful one among the branches in various places. Ling Xichen's spiritual power cultivation is an intermediate spiritual master, and he is the right protector of this Xinzhou branch. The four elders of the main hall are her father.
The name of the Beast Control Hall has already shown that this is a sect with the purpose of raising spirit beasts and hunting spirit beasts. Spirit beasts, also known as demonic beasts, are the most important sources of weapons, equipment, magic weapons, and elixirs needed for spiritual warriors' cultivation. The overall strength of the Beast Control Hall may be insufficient, and the strong are limited, but it does have unique advantages in tracking spirit beasts, hunting and killing experience, and processing and production. As a result, the sect has been lucrative and well-founded for more than a hundred years.
The Shinshu branch has been cultivating a kind of spirit dog called the Shinshu mastiff, which has an extremely keen sense of smell and can recognize subtle smells from a very long distance, which is an important help for the branch to track and find magical beasts. This time, there was a vision from the sky in the Xinzhou Tianyuan Valley, and there were all kinds of visions in the valley, and after the Xinzhou branch was unwilling, Ling Xichen took a letter mastiff and two strong people in the hall to investigate.
After coming to the outside of the valley, they were stopped by the people of the Demon Suppression Palace, claiming that they could not enter without the permission of the Demon Suppression Hall and the alliance of various factions, and that those who trespassed would be killed. Although Ling Xichen and the others were unwilling, there were many powerhouses in the Demon Suppression Palace, and they didn't dare to collide hard, so they had to observe from the periphery.
The side of the valley facing Shinshu Castle is the main gate. Ling Xichen and the others bypassed the main gate and looked west outside the valley.
On the periphery of Tianyuan Valley, there are also forests and forests, and every other section of the road, there are spirits from the Demon Suppression Hall or the local government to guard them. In many places, there are even traps and bell threads that are hard to see with the naked eye, which can be touched if you are not careful. In some places, if you want to break in, you can also enter, but it will inevitably alarm people.
There have been more than ten spiritual warriors, because they alarmed the guards, they were killed on the spot, and their heads were placed in the place of death to warn.
Because of this, the vast majority of spiritual warriors have already given up their plans to break through, but according to the rules of the Demon Suppression Temple, they can only choose to send the elites of the forces to enter the expansion at the appointed time according to the rules.
When Ling Xichen and the others were investigating to the west of Tianyuan Valley, they saw a gray-clothed scholar next to a mountain stream. The scholar was a junior spiritual priest, twenty-one or twelve years old, with a white face, but there always seemed to be a gloomy aura in his eyes. He was carrying a huge painting folder, holding a pen and inkstone, and by the stream above the mountain stream, he seemed to be sketching and painting. Beside him, a half-human-tall cage was placed, tightly sealed.
Tianyuan Valley is a huge valley formed by sinking hundreds of meters out of thin air in the middle, with a radius of hundreds of miles, the inner forest is tall, lush and dense, and the fog is filled, and it is impossible to see the inner void and reality from the top. The stream reaches the edge of the valley and falls suddenly, forming a magnificent mountain stream.
There are no spirits guarding here, because the mountain stream falls hundreds of meters straight down, and there is nowhere to climb, and if the average spirit man jumps down from here, he will immediately end up with broken bones.
The other spiritual priests are trying their best to investigate the reality in the valley, wanting to seek all kinds of benefits, and they are all very anxious. This scholar is in the mood to paint here. Ling Xichen and the others felt funny, and stepped forward to take a look, but they were really surprised. I saw that the mountain streams and waterfalls painted by this scholar were full of agility, as if they were real objects on paper.
Ling Xichen had little research on landscape painting and calligraphy, but when he saw it, he was deeply admired, so he stepped forward to ask for advice. The scholar claimed that his name was Xiao Rang, who loved to learn calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and was good at imitating celebrity calligraphy and painting. Today, I specially came to the outside of Tianyuan Valley to enjoy the scenery and paint on the stream.
It was just an ordinary conversation, and it was nothing. But suddenly, the mastiff at Ling Xichen's feet moved, as if he smelled something, turned around, and finally stopped next to the cage and spun around.
The scholar Xiao Rang's face changed, and he said to Ling Xichen and the others: "Inside this cage, there is food, water, and a change of clothes at noon and evening, but don't let this animal get dirty." ”
Ling Xichen said sorry and prepared to call the letter mastiff back. But the mastiff's expression changed suddenly, and he barked at the cage with a fierce voice. The mastiffs raised by the Beast Control Hall have been specially trained, and they will never have this abnormality because of other people's food or clothing.
Ling Xichen shouted to Xiao Rang, "What's inside!
Xiao Rang's face changed greatly, the only one on the other party was an intermediate spirit master cultivator, and his junior spirit master was definitely not an opponent. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the cage on his back, and jumped down the stream with his body.
Ling Xichen was dumbfounded, no.
But when Dingqing looked at it again, when Xiao Rang fell, he had already seen a long vine under the stream, and directly rushed over and hugged it, shook it twice, and then crashed into the mountain stream, and then the person disappeared from the long vine and disappeared.
It's gone?
Ling Xichen rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, he was a big living person, just ten meters under his feet, and he was gone. She was confident that with her own eyesight, even if the scholar wanted to escape, where could a junior spiritual priest escape?
There may be something odd on that vine. Ling Xichen has been raised by his father as a boy since he was a child, and he has a cheerful personality that is not afraid of heaven and earth, so he immediately gritted his teeth, saw the long vine where Xiao Rang fell, and pounced on it. The huge force of the mountain stream hit her body, rushing her body down quickly, she just gritted her teeth and grabbed it, and then swung it and crashed into the stream like Xiao Rang.
Behind the stream, it was not the expected hard stone wall, but a half-human-high cave, no wonder Xiao Rangneng suddenly disappeared, obviously drilling into it.
Ling Xichen's cultivation was more than a few levels higher than him, and it was even easier to get into this kind of cave. He jumped in and entered gently. Seeing this, the other two also fell one by one, grabbed the long vine, and swung in.
The cave is relatively deep, and every other section, the cave wall is inlaid with a glowing glowstone. After walking forward for more than ten zhang, Huo Ran was cheerful inside, and a large karst cave appeared, just as big as a hall, and the big karst cave was full of white bones, most of which were human bones. There are also a few unfinished human corpses, bloody and breathy.
Here, they saw Xiao Rang, who was half-kneeling on the ground, digging something out of the cage. At first, a lot of bacon and salted fish were taken out, but later, pieces of fresh human corpses were taken out, or hands, or feet, or heads, or abdomen, and blood was splashed everywhere, and the smell was fishy.
It turned out that he was using the pungent smell of salted fish and bacon to cover up the smell of the corpse.
Then, Xiao Rang knelt in the big cave, facing an altar-like place, his eyes closed, and his mouth muttered words, as if he was holding a sacrifice.
This man is here to perform such evil sacrifices with human flesh and blood, and he doesn't know if the corpse is an innocent civilian who he killed. Ling Xichen was angry in his heart, and was about to rush over to take him down and ask him for an explanation, when a fishy wind swept out from the depths of the cave, and then a small snake appeared on the altar and hissed.
This sound suddenly made Ling Xichen's three of them tremble violently, and they were extremely painful.
The three of them held their heads, and then looked at the little snake, which was only the size of a palm, gnawing on the corpse and staring at them with golden bean-like eyes.
One, two, three, four, four eyes, two heads, this little snake, this little snake turned out to be a rare two-headed spirit snake!
