After experiencing the killing of the wolf demon king in the back mountain, the bold Yunxiao finally knew that he was really a frog at the bottom of the well, powerful monsters abounded, and his adventure that time was purely a fluke, if it wasn't for the demon mirror that suddenly appeared to devour the soul of the wolf demon king, I'm afraid that he and Sister Li'er would have only one way to die.

After returning home, Yunxiao immersed himself in penance, and did not go out to hunt demons for five consecutive years. In the past five years, his cultivation has reached the early stage of the Earth Evil Realm with the help of the immortal wine in the Seven Star Demon Refining Pot, and he has completely mastered the spirit sword technique, and has cultivated to the advanced wind sword technique and the spirit shadow body technique, and has initially mastered the Five Elements sword technique.

The most important thing is that he has mastered the method of manipulating the Demon Mirror and the Seven Star Demon Refining Pot, and at the same time has mastered the trick of auxiliary cultivation of the Xuanming Divine Needle. Over the years, without the help of the Xuanshen Divine Needle, even with the help of the immortal wine in the Seven Star Demon Refining Pot, he would not have been able to break through to the Earth Evil Realm so quickly.

On this day, after Yunxiao came back from Yixue, he had already been admitted to Xiucai, and he was ready to study hard, and was ready to go to the state capital to take the township exam in three years to fulfill his mother's wish.

"Mother, the child is back, from today on, the master said that the child does not have to go to Yixue from time to time, and can study hard at home and prepare to go to the state capital to participate in the township examination!"

Originally, after Yunxiao was admitted to Xiucai, he should go to Qingcheng County to enter the county school according to the convention, but he was reluctant to leave home to study considering that his mother's body had been sick from overwork in recent years.

"Xiao'er, my mother has thought about it, let's move to the county to live, which is also convenient for you to enter the county school to study!"

"No, mother, our family is not well-off, we have to rent a house there to study in the county, and our family's money must be kept for you to see a doctor!"

Li Bilian knew that her son was filial piety, and his temperament was very stubborn, and it was impossible for her to convince her son to go to the county seat to live, so she acquiesced in this matter.

As the age increases year by year, when Yunxiao was twelve years old, he asked a matchmaker through his mother to talk about matchmaking. and Yixue He Fuzi's daughter He Ling'er is engaged. However, Yunxiao has always held a noncommittal attitude towards this family business, neither expressing his liking nor obviously expressing his opposition.

At this time. Yunxiao's good brother Hu Erzhu has reached the age of sixteen and is ready to follow his eldest brother who has become a lieutenant in the army to the army.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's not a problem to be a general with your kung fu experience in the army for a few years!"

"Brother Yun, thanks to your guidance in the past few years, Brother Zhuzi has been able to achieve today's achievements. It's a pity that I'm going to separate without a brother, and we won't get drunk tonight!"

That night, Yunxiao and Hu Erzhu drank more than a dozen jars of good wine, and when it was time to set off, Hu Erzhu had not woken up, and was pulled away by the eldest brother Hu Dazhu in a carriage.

Yunxiao stood on an old tree, looked at the carriage in the distance, and silently blessed Brother Zhu Zi in his heart, before leaving today, he gave the amulet he made by himself to the Hu family brothers.

When I returned to Yunjiazhuang and passed by Zhuangzikou. He saw some people gathered around the bulletin board where announcements were posted in the Zhuangzi.

"Uncle Yun, what happened again, is the government going to recruit soldiers in our Zhuangzi again?"

"Yes, Xiao'er, it's not that the government wants to recruit soldiers, but that the Aoki Sect near us wants to recruit people to work in our Zhuangzi, and there are five taels of silver per month, but it's a pity that the uncle is old and people don't want it, otherwise I will go to work!"

The old Uncle Yun has been getting older and older in the past few years. In the Zhuangzi, except for Hu Erzhu's family, only Uncle Yun's family and the owner's family are not bad to Yunxiao's mother and son, and others think that Yunxiao's mother Li Bilian was abandoned by her husband as an ominous person. Pinsuri doesn't associate with them.

"Uncle Yun, what do you have to do with the people recruited by the Aoki Sect to work?"

"Xiao'er, what are you doing asking about this? You are a dignified talent, you don't want to do this kind of rough work, do you?"

Uncle Yun looked at Yunxiao with some curiosity, and Yunxiao was happy. He said, "How can I go, my mother has been in poor health recently and needs me to take care of her, how can I walk away?"

"Well, that's good! Actually, what the people of the Aoki Sect want us to do is very simple, that is, to open a mine in the back mountain and be responsible for some heavy lifting work!"

"Thank you, Uncle Yun told me this, when you are free, you come to the house, I will get you some medicine!"

"Then thank you Xiao'er, Uncle Yun hasn't been less favored by you over the years!"

Uncle Yun left happily, Yunxiao didn't go to the bulletin board, turned around and walked home. This time, the Aoki Sect recruited a large number of people to do the work, which made him feel a little bad.

"Sister Li'er, we haven't been out for a few years, let's go to the back mountain together, I don't know what Aoki Sect is going to do in the back mountain this time?"

"Well, but this time we have to be more prepared, and bring more talismans and other charms!"

After Yunxiao and Li'er cleaned up, Yunxiao excused himself to go out to collect medicine, and after saying goodbye to his mother, he walked towards the back mountain. Now that Li'er, who has reached the Tiangang realm with a great increase in cultivation, he galloped all the way with the clouds, and soon came to the vicinity of a huge vein in the depths of the mountain behind Yunjiazhuang of the Aoki Sect.

"It's not like this is the location of the spiritual vein, what is the Aoki Sect doing here?"

When Yunxiao and Li'er came to the back mountain, they immediately discovered that the Aoki Sect was not mining here, and there were a large number of bones piled up in many places, and the bones looked like they had been dead for many years.

"No, there may be mineral veins here, but these bones are not dead people's bones at all, but ghosts!"

Yunxiao sensed the strong death qi in the bones, and secretly frightened, Li'er also sensed that this so-called ore vein was not simple at this time. As they gradually approached the area under the control of the Aoki Sect, those piles of four-person bones were shrouded in a special formation.

"The Aoki Sect has set up a formation here, but I don't know if this formation of theirs can trap these ghost clans for a long time!"

Yunxiao looked at these ghost clans whose eyes were not full of soul fire, and became more and more worried, if these ghost clans were fully recovered, the number of ghost clans here would probably be enough to turn the Great Qin Empire and the Northern Yan Empire upside down.

Yunxiao asked Li'er to continue scouting around the perimeter, while he pretended to play with the working adults nearby. In front of me, the dead qi in many places here is bound by the formation, but there is still the dead qi that rushes out of the shackles of the formation from time to time, which will always cause a big chaos, but the mortals who come to work here don't know what is going on here.

Yunxiao sneaked in while several monks in charge of guarding the entrance to the construction site had no idea, and there was no shortage of mortals working here who were as old as him, and these children were dressed in tatters like adults, obviously from those families with very poor backgrounds.

"Cheng'er, don't go to the hole over there. We and the people in the village are working around here, and I've heard from people in other villages that it's very dangerous!"

"Got it, Dad, the kid won't go over there!"

Yunxiao secretly approached a father and son. Through their conversation, he knew that there was a dangerous hole in the vicinity, and when he was thinking about how to get close to the other party, he found that the young man who was older than himself had a large bag swollen on his arm, and in the center of the big bag was a large wound with a bean grain, and the wound was purple and black. And it oozes black-red blood.

"This old man, your child has been poisoned by corpses, and he must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger!"

Xu Cheng saw that a teenager younger than himself was talking to his father, talking about his injury, so he looked at his arm with some confusion and said in his heart, since he was injured yesterday, his arm has not been right, not only can it sometimes make it weak. Sometimes I feel a chill and tingling.

Xu Tianzheng heard a strange young man say that his son was poisoned, although he didn't believe it, but it was a matter of his son's life and death, and he couldn't be careless, so he asked his son:

"Cheng'er, do you feel anything unusual about the injury on your arm?"

"Dad, I just feel that sometimes I don't need to use my strength, and sometimes I feel that the wound is a little cold!"

Xu Cheng told his father his true feelings, and Xu Tianzheng was a little panicked when he heard it: "This little brother, after my son was injured yesterday. There was once an immortal master who saw it, and at that time he also applied some medicine to my son, saying that it was not in the way!"

Yunxiao suddenly felt strange when he heard this, it stands to reason that the monks of the Aoki Sect had treated the young man's injuries. Even if it can't be cured, it shouldn't worsen, thinking of this, he hurriedly took the young man's arm and looked carefully, and found that the corpse poison had spread, but fortunately it had not yet entered the bloodstream. It also falls within the scope of trauma.

"You hold back, it may hurt for a while!"

Yunxiao took out a small white porcelain bottle from his body, and put some pale yellow medicinal powder on the girl's arm everywhere, and the young man's face was distorted in pain, but this sharp pain disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xu Tianzheng and his son Xu Cheng saw that the purple-black color of the wound disappeared, and the color of the wound returned to normal, and at the same time, Xu Cheng felt a hot pain in his arm.

Yunxiao watched the boy's injuries improve, and in order to avoid infection of his injuries in this hot and hot season, he took out a small red bottle and placed a red pill the size of a fingertip.

"You take this pill, remember that you must not get water until the wound is completely healed!"

After Yunxiao finished speaking, he took out another piece of gauze, opened the small white porcelain bottle and poured out some medicinal powder, and then carefully bandaged the young man's arm.

"Little brother, thank you so much, I can't repay you, uncle, please accept these scattered silver!"

"I can't accept it, uncle, as a cultivator, it is my duty to help the poor and help the needy!"

Yunxiao stopped Xu Tianzheng and asked the other party to put away the silver, seeing that the father and son were in a bad situation, so he secretly stuffed a silver ingot of twenty taels into the burden of Xu Tianzheng's father and son.

"Uncle, I want to know how long you've been here, what is there in this place, do you know?"

"This little brother, our father and son have been working here for three months, in the late spring, we came here to work in front of the mine over there, and then I don't know why the mine collapsed, fortunately no one was injured, after us a village people worked together, the work was not the same, the most dangerous work was to carry the bones of those dead people!"

Xu Tianzheng said that later, his voice was much quieter, and he looked around vigilantly, and then continued to whisper: "I heard people from other villages say that not long after the beginning of summer, that is, after the collapse of the mine, there were many people killed on the construction site for a period of time, but they were not from our villages!"

Not far away, several monks wearing robes with the emblem of the Aoki Sect appeared, and Xu Tianzheng hurriedly pulled Yunxiao's arm, signaling him to pretend to work with the father and son. It wasn't until these monks left that Xu Tianzheng said:

"There are rumors that there have been a large number of casualties among the monks of the Aoki Sect in recent days, and I don't know if it's true or not!"

After Yunxiao asked all the information that Xu Tianzheng knew, he said goodbye to the two fathers and sons, and then quietly followed the two patrolling Aoki Sect monks and gradually came to the vicinity of the cave.

"Senior Brother Cheng, you came here with Uncle Cheng this time, but you must be careful, there are some things that Senior Brother is inconvenient to tell you, you should pay attention to yourself!"

A bearded man looked at the young man next to him, lowered his voice and said:

"Senior Brother Cheng, I advise you to find an excuse to return to the sect immediately after handing in the task tonight, anyway, Senior Brother, I will leave tonight, even if I wander the world in the future, I will leave here!"

The young monk listened to the senior brother's words and asked with some nervousness:

"Senior Brother Kuang, what is going on here? Uncle Kuang told me that there are top-grade ore veins found here, not only are there a large number of top-grade spirit stone mines, but even high-quality spirit jade has appeared, isn't this the case?"

Senior Brother Kuang, who had a beard, looked at his junior brother and smiled strangely, and then his face suddenly changed, and he pointed behind his back and shouted:

"Senior brother, be careful!"

Senior Brother Cheng didn't expect Senior Brother Kuang to deceive him, and as soon as he turned his head, Senior Brother Kuang's fingers stretched out sharp nails, which instantly broke Senior Brother Cheng's neck, and at the same time, the flesh and blood on this guy's body festered at an extremely fast speed, and soon turned into a terrifying-looking zombie.

The zombie was about to bend down and eat the monk he had just killed, when suddenly two red lights flew over, and the zombie was immediately covered in flames, and was burned into a pile of ashes in a short time.

After Yunxiao shot out the Xuan Shen Shen Needle, he saw that the zombie was burned to ashes, and hurriedly came to the young monk's corpse, and found that the young monk had not yet lost his breath.

"You hold on!"

Yunxiao was about to stuff the life-saving elixir into the mouth of the young monk of the Aoki Sect, but the young monk used his last strength to take out a scroll from his arms, and then he died.

"What is this?"

Yun Xiao took the scroll out of the young monk's hand and immediately sensed that the scroll contained extremely strong power. He opened the scroll and found that it was a map with the Wooden Emperor Hall written on it.

After some careful inspection, Yunxiao found that the Wood Emperor Hall was actually in the place where the Alliance of Nations and the Wei State and the Zhao State met.

"Aoki Sect, Wood Emperor Palace, is there any connection between the two?" (To be continued.) )

PS: What is the relationship between the scroll found by Yunxiao and the strange situation in the place in front of you?
