Chapter 274: Cooperation
For the scene that had just happened, Mo Ming could see it clearly, and the moment the black lotus flower flashed, he knew that the jade box hidden deep in the dantian had once again taken the initiative to stir up.
Although Mo Ming didn't know what the jade box was and what it contained, he didn't know what the black lotus rune had to do with the jade box.
However, since the jade box saved his life several times in a dangerous moment, he also roughly guessed something.
The protective effect of the jade box is more likely to be aimed at spiritual consciousness or soul, whether it is from the strange scene that happened after Mo Ming was taken away by the disciples of the Northern Liang Sect of the Great Xia Kingdom, or in the small world of the Rakshasa Sect, in the face of those sudden appearance of death qi and ghost forks, the various powers displayed by the jade box are more or less related to the soul.
Especially at this time, seeing that the Yuan Shen of the Evil Dao was injured by the lotus rune emitted by the jade box and escaped, Mo Ming was even more sure of the role of the jade box.
And this can also explain why the two disciples of the Northern Liang Sect died strangely when they were unconscious, but there was no wound exposed.
Similarly, that time it would not be someone passing by, the biggest possibility was that when the two of them launched a soul search technique on themselves, the fluctuation of spiritual consciousness provoked the reaction of the jade box, and then directly wiped out the souls of the two.
Mo Ming stood in front of the door of the main hall in a daze, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked closely into the hall at the moment he woke up.
There are not many furnishings in the main hall, except for an altar several zhang in the center, which is empty and there is not even a single piece of rubble.
And this hall, compared to the palace that Mo Ming has seen along the way, is also the most complete one, there are hardly too many signs of dilapidation in the entire hall, and even the altar that looks rich in vicissitudes is not too damaged.
Mo Ming's gaze quickly swept around the entire hall, and then swept directly over the altar in the center of the main hall, and turned to a corner in the depths of the hall with a dazzling shock.
In that corner, at this time, there was a log about the thickness of an arm's length lying quietly on the ground, the log was dark and shiny, not like ordinary wood, and there were layers of obscure breath waves rippling out of it.
And the shocking that attracted Mo Ming was the Yuan Shen of the Evil Dao, after escaping from Mo Ming's sea of knowledge, he went straight to the log, the speed was almost in the blink of an eye, and then suddenly turned into a ghostly light and completely disappeared into the log.
Mo Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a hint of déjà vu the moment he saw the log, and then suddenly remembered that when he was in the Bohai Kingdom, it seemed that there was an identical black log on Bai Xiu's body.
However, the log on Bai Xiu's body was much smaller, only the size of a palm.
"Soul Nourishing Wood?"
Mo Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows, revealing great surprise, because the so-called soul nourishing wood is very rare, not to mention rare in the world, but it is almost the same.
This is a kind of exotic treasure, although it does not have much effect, but it has the effect of nourishing the soul, and in many cases, it can be used as a magic weapon to save life.
Whether it is a lowly monk in the Qi Condensation Period or a great power in the True Realm, as long as it is an immortal cultivator, if he has a soul-nourishing wood, then even if he loses his physical body, his soul can completely parasitize in the soul-nourishing wood, waiting for the day when he will be reborn.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, soul nourishing wood is too rare, and some of the occasional ones are not only very small, but the effect of nourishing the soul and nourishing the gods is also much weaker.
And like the soul nourishing wood in front of me, which is the thickness of an arm and a few feet long, it can be said unceremoniously that it is difficult to see one for thousands of years.
Mo Ming was slightly surprised, then groaned for a minute and walked directly across the threshold of the main hall.
At this moment, Mo Ming has nothing to fear, since the jade box can cause immeasurable damage to the evil Daozi, then for himself, the original crisis will no longer be a crisis.
And this empty hall, to say a crisis, even a small prohibition is not there, although there are some traces of the magic circle around the altar, but everything is drowned in the long river of years, this hall has not known how many thoughts exist, and the construction style is very different from this generation.
Mo Ming walked step by step, his steps were calm and calm, not hurried, and there was no change in his expression, just a pair of eyes staring at the soul-nourishing wood.
And the primordial spirit of the evil Dao did not appear again after it was submerged in the soul cultivation wood, as if it had disappeared, and there was not even a slight fluctuation of qi in the void.
However, Mo Ming knew that the Evil Daozi must still be in the log, because after knowing what this log was, Mo Ming had some conjectures about the existence of the Yuan Shen of the Evil Daozi.
Completely dissolving the soul energy essence, the soul is called the primordial god, and this transformation can only be achieved when breaking through the cultivation of the god refining period, and the most significant feature of the power of the god refining period is the existence of the primordial god.
Needless to say, since the evil Daozi has shown the power of the primordial gods, he may have been a cultivator in the god refining period when he has a physical body, and he may even be a great power far beyond the cultivation of the god refining stage.
It's just that perhaps because of some changes, his physical body was destroyed, and he could only be completely pinned on this soul-nourishing tree in order to be reborn in the future.
Mo Ming's arrival gave him a glimmer of life, so that from the moment Mo Ming just came to this hall, the evil Daozi couldn't wait to perform the art of seizing the house, hoping to have a physical body for the first time, and then he could leave this place.
However, no matter how the evil Daozi imagined, he couldn't guess that the result would be like this after all, the sudden appearance of the black lotus flower was like a blow to his heart, so that after returning to the soul nourishing wood, the evil Daozi shrank for the first time, wanting to avoid Mo Ming's counterattack.
However, just as Mo Ming was approaching the Soul Nourishing Wood step by step, the Evil Daozi couldn't help but emerge from the Soul Nourishing Wood after all, because he was too shocked by the terrifying power displayed by the black lotus flower before, and he didn't want to face it again.
"Boy, stop me!" the evil man roared with anger in his eyes, and there was an unconcealable fear in his expression.
Mo Ming suddenly stopped as he said, but looked at the old face of the evil Daozi and became more and more cold.
"Why do you want to do it to me?" Mo Ming asked bluntly, a murderous intent revealed in his eyes.
The evil Daozi's face immediately changed slightly, but he didn't answer directly, but looked at Mo Ming carefully, and a little different color flashed in his eyes.
And it wasn't until Mo Ming's expression became cold, and he was about to react, that the evil Daozi suddenly rushed out completely from the soul cultivation wood, and the whole person floated in the void, the fear and anger in his expression converged, and he looked at Mo Ming with an indifferent expression.
"Boy, I have to say, what you have on you really surprised the old man! If the old man was a little careless just now, he might have capsized in the gutter!"
The evil Daozi opened his mouth gloomily, not shying away at all, and he didn't see any embarrassment in his expression, his eyes swept over Mo Ming's face, and then said: "However, you have also seen that the old man's current state does require a physical body to leave this Black Ridge, and it is really a last resort to do it to you just now!"
"What do you want to say?" Mo Ming raised his eyebrows and asked strangely.
"What the old man wants to say is exactly what you think in your heart!"
The evil Daozi suddenly squinted slightly, and his expression showed a mysterious look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"If the old man's guess is correct, you have no way to leave this Black Ridge! You came all the way, on the one hand, to heal the injuries in your body, and on the other hand, you want to find a way to leave this Black Ridge!"
The evil Taoist suddenly looked stunned, and said with a determined face: "Don't be in a hurry to deny it first, the old man can remind you first, if you continue to walk towards the depths of this black ridge, then within ten miles, you will definitely die on the spot, and there is no possibility of leaving this place alive!"
"Huh?"
Mo Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, although he didn't speak, but his heart suddenly moved, and his eyes swept away from the other party with some uncertainties.
"Looks like I'm right!"
Seeing Mo Ming's expression, the evil Daozi suddenly laughed, "Since that's the case, then the next words are easy to say!"
"What's that?" Mo Ming suddenly frowned, and his heart became even more confused.
"Hmph, naturally if you leave this place!"
The evil Daozi didn't mind the fact that he had wanted to take away Mo Ming's body before, and said lightly: "Since you have the ability to resist the old man's technique of seizing the house, it is naturally impossible for the old man to borrow your body to leave this place!"
However, you and I have the same purpose, you have a physical body, you can walk freely, but there is no way to leave this place, and although I only have the body of the primordial god, I can only parasitize in the soul nourishing wood without the slightest action, but for the way to leave this place, the old man has no less than ten ways! You and I can also cooperate with each other!"
"Cooperation?"
Mo Ming suddenly said that the other party said so much, it was nothing more than two purposes, one was to calm Mo Ming's anger about the matter that had just been taken away, and the other was to cooperate with him, the other party came up with a way to leave this place, and he took the other party to leave this black ridge together.
It's just that after hearing these words, Mo Ming didn't have too many waves in his heart, his eyes swept over the other party's old face, and suddenly showed a trace of weirdness.
"Don't you think that what you said was a little too light? Just now you wanted to take away from me, but now you want me to cooperate with you regardless of your previous suspicions, do you think that I will agree to this kind of cooperation?" Mo Ming asked with a sneer.
This is an unavoidable problem, and it is also a problem that he doesn't want to let go, after all, no matter what, his life was hanging by a thread just now, and he was almost swallowed up by the other party, how could he really let go of it so lightly and say anything about cooperation.
And let's just say that this cooperation, there is not much to study, and the other party says that there is a way to leave here, which is simply a thing that cannot be verified.
