Chapter 42: Conspiracy
The moment Xue Shidao escaped, he was first pierced through the chest by Mo Yuqing's flying sword, and then the herring fish that rushed to it tore his body to pieces in an instant, and he didn't even let out a scream.
Li Heng glanced indifferently at the corpses all over the ground, stretched out his hand, and with a move, Qingmeng's sword qi was all withdrawn, and the Xuanyin Array Flag was also returned to his hand, and after playing with it, he threw it into the storage bag.
Faced with the blood-colored fragments all over the ground, Mo Yuqing was not calm, she was nauseous and vomiting, and it took two spiritual spells in succession to get better.
Seeing this, Li Heng had no choice but to throw away a ball of spiritual fire and burn the bloody things on the ground, which saved the effort of cleaning the storage bag and a spiritual armor on Xue Shidao's body.
He grabbed Xue Shidao's storage bag in his hand, glanced at it, and threw it to Mo Yuqing, who was pale.
"No, Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister is just waving the flag and shouting on the side, how embarrassed is it to ask this junior brother to fight for something with his life. Thinking of the previous battle, she Mo Yuqing has been hiding behind Li Heng, although she has also made a lot of efforts, but she always feels that it is just icing on the cake.
Li Heng saw that Mo Yuqing was very refusal, and he didn't argue with him, he directly rolled up the flying sword discarded by Wang Ziying on the ground, and then took out a small bag containing thousands of spirit stones and a valuable crystal ore rough from the storage bag, and threw it to Mo Yuqing together, and said, "Senior sister, you don't need to be polite, we still have to stay in this secret realm for a few days, and we don't know what kind of danger we will encounter, and we will need to hold each other hostage at that time." If the senior sister is allowed to work in vain, the junior brother will be ashamed. ”
Mo Yuqing hesitated, and happily accepted Li Heng's words, the value of the crystal ore rough in the secret realm of the hidden mountain is at least above six or seven hundred contributions, plus a low-grade top-level flying sword, not to mention the number of ten thousand five,
Her Mo family is not a rich family, and if she says that she is not moved in the face of tens of thousands of spirit stones, it is also false.
It's just that she always kept Li Heng's saving grace in her heart, and she was a little ashamed to take more, so she flatly refused, "Senior Brother Li is alone, and he needs these things more than me, so don't embarrass Senior Sister anymore." ”
Li Heng thought about it and put everything away, "Then leave it with me for the time being, and after you go out, ask Ling Zun to sell it, and then share the account with the senior sister." ”
"This ......"
Li Heng waved his hand to stop Mo Yuqing from refusing again.
In fact, he still earns a lot, Xue Shidao's two swords alone are nearly 20,000 spirit stones, and there are two bottles of elixir in the bag, as well as several jade boxes containing elixir.
The elixirs in these jade boxes were all collected in the secret realm, and their value was at least above the contribution of a thousand points, and the reason why he kept the elixirs that were a little less valuable than the Xuanjing ore and spirit stones had his own plans.
After disposing of the gains, he retrieved the jade plate of himself and Mo Yuqing under the guidance of the red spotted leopard, and then continued to head towards the Falling Feather Swamp.
After walking hundreds of miles, next to a waterhole on the edge of the nameless mountain range, the two discovered a strange scene.
The bodies of the two monks, shriveled and gray, as if they had been dried in a dry desert for several years, looked at each other, and both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
The secret realm of the hidden mountain has only been opened for a few days, how can there be such a level of dry corpse, if it is a hundred years ago, it is even more unbelievable, because there is a waterhole nearby, and the corpse will rot in this kind of place in a few days, how can such a dry corpse with such an intact body be formed.
"It's the monks of the Imperial Spirit Sect, looking at their shiny clothes, they should have entered a few days ago, but I don't know how they became like this. Mo Yuqing glanced at the dried corpse from a distance, and her heart was shocked, and her voice trembled slightly.
Li Heng nodded in agreement, he found a thick branch, carefully looked at a corpse close to him, and said calmly, "The wound on this person's back is very large, it is very likely that someone broke it with his hand, and the internal organs seem to be missing, and there are no other wounds." ”
"Missing internal organs?" Mo Yuqing exclaimed in horror when she heard this.
"It should be that the heart is gone," Li Heng leaned over to take a closer look and said coldly.
He came to another corpse, and after a while, he found that this corpse had no wounds on its body, "It's sword qi." ”
Only when a monk in the Qi refining period is killed by the sword qi can the corpse not leave any wounds.
That sword qi is naturally not a type of murderous like his herring fish, most of them follow a feminine and weird way, but what kind of sword qi can suck out the qi and blood after entering the body? In my impression, although there are many sects in the East Leaving the country, there is no such sect of yin and evil.
Li Heng, who had some contempt, secretly raised his vigilance, this kind of evil sect outside the way, in the stage of refining qi is extremely fast, and when fighting, there are also endless tricks, very difficult, but its cultivation methods are often contrary to human norms, so it is despised by most sects.
For example, the person who killed these two cultivators of the Imperial Spirit Sect was mostly cultivating some evil sect exercises that needed the blood of the monk, and if the cultivation exercises of the entire Jade Hill Realm required the blood of the monk, it would have already been a big chaos.
"Senior brother......" Mo Yuqing looked around uneasily, approached Li Heng and said.
Li Heng threw away the thick branches, patted his hands, looked at Mo Yuqing's nervous appearance, and said with a smile, "It's okay, the clothes of this corpse are stained with a lot of moisture, at least after one night, the murderer will definitely be gone, don't worry." ”
However, after all, he still had a thought, and the red spotted leopard immediately appeared on the side, "Let's go." ”
He let the red spotted leopard roam around, acting as a vigilance, which made Mo Yuqing feel a lot more relieved, and there was no danger along the way to the edge of the falling feather swamp.
The Falling Feather Swamp is a dangerous place just by looking at its name.
The black earth that is difficult to reach at a glance is scattered with muddy or clear puddles, and from time to time some bewildering blisters emerge in the depressions, and after bursting, the rotten air is so high that people wonder if there is a huge burial place under it.
And when he looked forward more than a hundred feet, he was blocked by a light gray mist. The fog seems to be light and thin, but the gaze is impenetrable, and looking at its faint surge, it is obviously not a good place to go.
If it weren't for the only entrance that had been discovered at the end of the Valley of Thorns, Li Heng would definitely not want to go to such a place where his vision was extremely restricted, but fortunately, he saw the footprints of some demon beasts from time to time on the black mud ground, as well as a few unknown strange trees, which gave him a lot of confidence in his heart.
Fang took a few steps, and Mo Yuqing behind him was so disgusted by the rancid smell that he couldn't stop retching, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hand.
Seeing this, Li Heng took out a light-colored scarf from Xue Shidao's storage bag and handed it over, not knowing what Xue Shidao was doing with hiding such a thing.
"Hidden Spirit Towel!" Mo Yuqing looked through it a few times and exclaimed.
"Isn't it the top-level spiritual weapon that can hide the fluctuation of one's own aura?" Li Heng's eyes flashed with suspicion, and at the same time he secretly sighed that Xue Shidao had a lot of belongings.
Mo Yuqing nodded, covered her mouth and nose with a scarf, wrapped it from under her ears to the back of her head, and tied a knot.
Under the cover of the pale gauze, Mo Yuqing's eyes were as moving as autumn water, making people have an urge to hug into their arms.
Mo Yuqing, who finished tying the scarf, suddenly saw Li Heng looking at his expression differently, and his heart was filled with shame and joy, a touch of red quickly climbed up his cheeks, lowered his head and called softly, "Senior brother......
If it weren't for being in this uncomfortable rancid place, Mo Yuqing wouldn't mind letting Li Heng look at it for a while, or even ...... , she was suddenly shocked in her heart, and said to herself, "I'm not ashamed." ”
scolded and scolded, but the delicate color on his face was even better, and his head couldn't help lowering a few points to hide his shame.
"Ahem...... Under Mo Yuqing's soft call, Li Heng realized that he was distracted, hurriedly pretended to have an uncomfortable throat, coughed lightly, and turned around and walked towards the depths of the swamp......
meanwhile
Under a huge cliff in the secret realm of the Hidden Mountain, more than a dozen monks of the Lingyin Sect gathered together under the command of an elderly monk of the Thirteen Realms, and stood still with their hands in a certain direction, and everyone looked solemn.
Several other monks walked around the crowd with a jade plate in their hands, taking out some spiritual objects from their storage bags from time to time and placing them in the soil with a magic trick......
"Senior brother, in two more days, the magic circle is estimated to be activated. A monk from the Spirit Yin Sect suddenly said to the person at the head.
That senior brother's name is Zhao Tiancheng, and he is one of the five top-level masters of the Lingyin Sect's Qi refining period, and he has always been serious about things, and only he can suppress these very high Lingyin Sect cultivators.
Zhao Tiancheng was indifferent when he heard this, but just stared at the cliff like a knife and an axe with a worried expression.
"Senior Brother, there are so many of us gathered together, not to mention the Spirit Treasure Armillary Hammer given by the head of the family, are you still worried that it won't be able to happen?" The monk beside Zhao Tiancheng saw that Senior Brother was noncommittal about what he said, so he hesitated and asked again.
"Lingbao?" Zhao Tiancheng sighed in his heart, if it was really a genuine Lingbao, he didn't have to worry a lot, but this hidden mountain secret realm was a dangerous place, and what he planned this time was only the speculation of some teachers and uncles and ancestors who had entered this place for hundreds of years.
There were more than a dozen monks here, except for him, no one knew that the armillary hammer in his storage bag was just an imitation, and although its power was several percent higher than that of the low-grade top-level spiritual weapons, it was difficult to compare with the real spiritual treasure after all.
However, then again, the real spirit treasure can only be used once a day in his hands, and it is really difficult to say which is better or worse than this imitation that can be used by him.
"Wang Hu, first distribute half of the 1,000-point contribution promised by the sect, and order them to speed up and strive to activate the forbidden formation within two days, so as to complete the trust of the sect as soon as possible. The corners of Zhao Tiancheng's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer, and he said awe-inspiringly.
