Chapter 2: Burial of the Soul Stream
Hearing Xingzi's words, Meng Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten!
The day after tomorrow is the day when the Xingyue Sect comes to worship the mountain and settle for marriage! At that time, is he still qualified to marry Chu Yiyue, who is the most talented person in the Xingyue Sect? With his current situation, will the sect still support me Meng Chen?
Even if everything hasn't changed, who knows if Yiyue will say the affectionate words to such a waste as herself!
Everything made Meng Chen feel a little irritable in his heart, and his pace became faster and faster, galloping towards the depths of the mountain stream
An abrupt rock as high as 100 zhang stands on the side of the mountain stream path where the cliff rises, and there are three big characters written on the boulder - Burial Soul Stream.
The sheep farm path, which is almost completely covered by tall ferns, winds down from behind the boulder into the bottomless abyss below, and gusts of yin wind call from the bottomless deep stream, making the deep stream behind the boulder look extremely mysterious and gloomy!
If it was in normal times, Meng Chen would definitely stop in front of this burial soul stream.
Here, it is the place where the bones of the Wuji Sect are buried, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to step into this place, even if the Wuji Sect has been seated and the elders of the past dynasties have been seated, they just let the eight disciples who are in charge of the funeral in the sect carry the body to the side of the giant rock with big characters in the book, and then turn around and leave without stopping at all, and the body will naturally disappear without a trace on the second day!
Burial Soul Stream, even everyone in the Wuji Sect doesn't know what kind of world it is!
In the eyes of the entire sect monks, this is not only a forbidden place that is strictly forbidden to step into, but also a forbidden area for life!
Eerie, deadly silent, full of mystery!
Since Meng Chen entered the Wuji Sect, he inadvertently walked to the edge of this burial soul stream boulder, and immediately fell in love with this place of silence that was so quiet that he could almost glimpse his soul! Cultivating here, without the slightest disturbance, he would soon be able to enter the realm of the unity of heaven and man in the mouth of the sect elders! Moreover, Meng Chen also had an illusion that there seemed to be a magical power in this burial soul stream, and he was slowly growing his soul in the cultivation again and again!
Over the past few years, this burial soul stream boulder has become Meng Chen's private cultivation place.
But Meng Chen has always adhered to the instructions of the sect and has never stepped into the burial soul stream.
But today, in a trance, Meng Chen stepped on this mysterious path!
Going all the way down the sheep farm path, unconsciously, Meng Chen moved away from the boulder above, and when he came back to his senses, he was already on a cliff.
After being stunned for a long time, Meng Chen rubbed his eyes, woke up from his trance, and looked around with a pang in his heart.
This is a cliff with a radius of 100 zhang, the erosion of the years, in the original cliff like a knife and axe to split a cliff slope, bursts of black gas from the deep stream under the drift floating, under the yin wind, into a messy pattern, the entire deep stream dyed into a gray and black color, looking at it makes people depressed!
The only thing that can make people breathe a sigh of relief is the Zhilan Yao grass all over here, which sways and dances silently with the wind when the yin wind blows, giving this dead and silent place a trace of life.
It's just that somehow, all the plants here are grayish-brown, and even the scattered flowers that dot the area still shimmer grayish-brown in the blooming leaves.
"What's the matter today, how did I come to this sect's forbidden place? If I let the two uncles of Gong Chuan and Law Enforcement know about this, I will face the wall for ten years at best, and I will be driven out of the sect at worst!"
As soon as he thought of this, Meng Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat! Subconsciously he was about to walk upward.
"No, when I came here, Senior Brother Xingzi and more than a dozen senior brothers saw it with their own eyes, if I rushed up at this time and was bumped into by this group of people, I don't know how many incidents will happen!
The only thing I am glad about is that I have been cultivating on the edge of the Soul Stream, which is a well-known thing, as long as they don't come to the Soul Stream, they won't know that I have stepped into the forbidden area of the sect. ”
Thinking of this, Meng Chen stopped, thought for a while, and simply chose a flat place to sit down cross-legged, allowing himself to slowly calm down, slowly run the Innate Infinite Skill, and cultivate.
This is the difference between Meng Chen and ordinary people, no matter what the circumstances, he will not fall behind in his own cultivation at all. Otherwise, it would not be able to surpass all the disciples of the Wuji Sect and become the number one sect in just a few years!
With the slow passage of time, Meng Chen entered an extremely ethereal realm, and the innate Wuji ** in his body roamed, and a clear breath spread all over his body.
The kind of aura that had appeared in the dark to strengthen his soul became extremely clear at this time, which made Meng Chen's heart tremble!
What's even more amazing is that at this time, Meng Chen doesn't need to open his eyes to feel everything within a radius!
Even the gray-brown ants in the depths of the weeds are busy going back and forth, dragging a fat insect, which is also vivid and clear!
The original place was dead and silent, but at this time, Meng Chen's eyes gradually exuded vitality, and he heard that Suosuo's voice came into his ears from time to time.
...
Forgetting the slow passage of time, Meng Chen immersed himself in this magical artistic conception, unaware that it was sunset, and the light around him gradually dimmed.
There was a crisp sound, and not far from Meng Chen's side, a plant that was originally inconspicuous and shrunk into a bunch, like a dry old branch, suddenly unfolded, revealing the emerald green branches hidden in it.
Under Meng Chen's magical perception, he saw that this plant was about three feet tall, and it looked very similar to ordinary ferns! At this time, after all of them were unfolded, a spherical flower bone at the top of the main trunk was revealed, and the bone was wrapped with a layer of dry fluff, which looked inconspicuous.
Under the clear perception, Meng Chen's heart moved, and he had a sense of déjà vu with this plant, and just as he was puzzled, a wisp of strange smell wafted into his nose, and Meng Chen, who was in cultivation, woke up!
"Hey, that's amazing! The old man has never mentioned to me anything that smells so stinky, but why do I feel a sense of déjà vu?"
Although it was strange in his heart, Meng Chen did not move his body, he guessed that this strange plant, which seemed to be extremely spiritual and very timid, automatically gathered into a bunch as soon as it heard the slightest movement, and only opened it again when it thought it was safe!
Sure enough, Meng Chen only waited quietly for dozens of breaths, and there was a slight crackling sound in his ears, and outside the spherical flower bones at the top of the strange plant, the fluff fell and gradually bloomed...
A disgusting stench immediately emitted violently! Meng Chen, who was close at hand, almost couldn't help but want to sneeze a few times in a row!
Just when I was uncomfortable, I suddenly heard a strange voice in my ears!
Yo... Hee-hee... Rattle...
A burst of irritability suddenly sounded from the deep stream!
With the noise, I saw ethereal figures, rising from the deep stream...
Shadows and shadows, teeth and claws...
There were more than a dozen of these shadows floating in the air, and their faces were blurry and they couldn't be seen clearly, and only from the chaotic shapes, we could see the excitement of these monsters at this time!
And in the incessant screaming, these shadows kept changing their shapes, sometimes as high as several feet, sometimes shrinking into a wisp, like pigs, dogs, tigers, leopards...
The fangs were sensen, and the dozen or so shadow monsters that rose from the huge mouth blood basin suddenly discovered Meng Chen's existence!
The originally excited howl suddenly turned into a terrible scream, and the constantly changing body also turned into the appearance of a fierce ghost! The infiltrating howl that seemed to have been tortured thousands of times made people stand on end when they heard it!
Soul!
Meng Chen let out an exclamation.
He knew that these monsters were the evil things of heaven and earth that were gradually formed after countless years of precipitation and devouring each other! formless, incorporeal, immortal and indestructible.
What these evil creatures love most is to devour souls!
Whether it is the grievances of the souls after death, or the living souls, it is a delicacy that these powerful souls are eager to eat!
Once ordinary people encounter these powerful ghosts and ghosts, just by the corpse aura that is emitted, it will be a miserable end for the soul to disappear and the corpse bones are gone!
Even a monk can't withstand the collision of such a powerful soul, and he is stained by the evil qi that he has accumulated for thousands of years, even if he has a ** body, it is also a fate of annihilation, but it is just a little longer than mortals!
And what scared the monks the most about these powerful souls was their innate talent for devouring and snatching!
The soul of the monk is much more powerful than that of mortals, and it is the favorite of these powerful souls, they ignore the void body of any physical magic weapon defense, and will directly penetrate any obstacle and enter the monk's body, either devouring the soul or occupying the physical body and replacing it, until the occupied physical essence and blood are absorbed!
This is what the yang world talks about - the soul!
With the appearance of these evil things, Meng Chen finally confirmed his guess!
The strange plant that emits an endless smell around him is the legendary soul-nourishing poisonous fern that only grows in the land of yin and death! There is an extremely detailed record in the book "Dan Medicinal Materia Medica" that the old man passed on to him.
This magical plant only grows in places where corpses are full of evil, and it is extremely poisonous! But compared to its other, more anti-heavenly effect, the soul nourishing fern's strange poison seems a little insignificant!
It is said that once you can get the mature soul ball that the soul nourishing poison fern grows at the top, and at the same time prepare an elixir or antidote to relieve its violent toxicity, after taking it, the monk can instantly cast the original spirit and ascend to the sky in one step!
Cast by the primordial gods, that is the anti-heaven figure at the top of the entire cultivation world!
It is no longer even called a human being, but has reached the level of an immortal saint, immortal and immortal with heaven and earth, and the like!
In Meng Chen's cognition, the path of cultivation is divided into: acquired forging muscles and bones - congenital qi induction - Bigu - transcendent - Yuan infant - entering the holy realm.
Among them, the acquired forging of muscles and bones is the cultivation of martial arts people in the secular world. When a monk first cultivates, he also starts from this stage, and what really enters the threshold of cultivation is to reach the watershed of innate qi induction from the day after tomorrow.
What the monk has to do is to cultivate a breath of true qi in the body and strengthen it in a non-sectional manner, so the innate qi is also known as the realm of qi training. Among the 100,000 mortals, there may be less than one person who is lucky enough to enter the innate realm! It can be seen how strict the requirements for mortal qualifications are on the path of cultivation!
After practicing Qi, it is the Bigu realm, and the monks who can cultivate to this realm can already form an internal circulation in the body to supply everything they need, which is beyond the reach of others. For example, a monk in this realm can go without eating, drinking, or breathing for up to a year, which is something that ordinary people can't even imagine! And the monks in the realm of qi cultivation who can enter the realm of Bigu are even rarer, and it is difficult to choose one of them!
In the transcendent realm after the Bigu, Meng Chen only heard the elders of the sect talk about it, and the Wuji Sect, that is, the head of the sect, and several elders had reached this realm, and the golden pill had been condensed in his body, and his divine power was vast, and it was just a gesture to turn over the river and the sea!
As for the Yuan Infant and the Saint Realm in the back, Meng Chen had never even heard of it, he only knew that the monk who entered the Saint Realm was the power cast by the Yuan Shen, immortal and immortal, and his words were as great as he could have been, beyond imagination!
At this time, Meng Chen, looking at the soul-nourishing poisonous fern that was constantly escaping a strong smell, his heart was surging for a while! This strange grass was obviously in the peak maturity stage, so it would emit such a strong smell!
It is precisely because of its thorough maturity that it attracts so many powerful souls to come!
This soul-nourishing poisonous fern is not only a dream of monks, but also a holy relic for these powerful souls that they can obtain at all costs!
With this mature soul ball, you can regenerate the powerful soul that owns this thing, and it is the kind of vajra incorruptible body! More importantly, once the soul ball is absorbed, the powerful soul will produce spiritual intelligence, cultivate on its own, and constantly strengthen itself in the process of cultivation, devouring its own kind, and become the king of the powerful soul - the heavenly ghost!
At this time, more than a dozen powerful souls, driven by instinct, frantically rushed towards the mature soul cultivation poison fern and snatched the top soul ball.
The yin wind gusted, and the evil qi shot in all directions, and two powerful souls rushed straight towards Meng Chen. In their consciousness, they only need to pass through the delicious chest in front of them, and when they rush out from the other end, they will absorb the soul of this monk by the way, and they will not delay the act of snatching the soul ball at all!
For them who possessed an immortal and immortal void body, the monk in front of them was too weak!
And such a delicacy, in the depths of memory, has been devoured countless times!
The speed of the powerful souls was amazing, and when Meng Chen woke up, the two powerful souls were already close at hand, only a line away from his chest!
A fear of death spread from the depths of Meng Chen's soul!
