Text Chapter 8 The first floor of the Corpse King's Cave

The pillar followed the example of the crowd and calmly led the horse out of the utility area. Everyone smiled lightly at the joke, and the deacon silently led the way. Fortunately, the pillar has not been ridden, when he was on earth, he once traveled to Inner Mongolia and walked two steps on horseback...... Although he has little contact with the horse, what impresses him the most is that the coach said that he must have confidence and not be afraid, otherwise the horse will deliberately oppose you, you let it go, he won't go, you let it stop and it won't stop.

Although there were occasional small situations in the middle, Zhu Zi slowly learned to ride a horse, he looked thin and short, but after all, he was already a monk of the third level of Qi training, and he was considered to be top-notch in this team of disciples, and his body would naturally exude a little spiritual pressure to be felt by the horse, making it obedient.

After traveling all the way, more than ten days later, everyone rushed to a stronghold of the Spirit Sword Sect hundreds of kilometers away.

The stronghold was built on a hill, with a large stone wall enclosing a large courtyard, and a large, sturdy iron gate in front of it, and arrow towers at the four corners of the stone wall, each guarded by a miscellaneous disciple with a strong bow. The buildings inside are also made of large stones brought down from the mountains with nearby materials.

Seeing the pillar they rode over, and a disciple on the arrow tower made a few gestures inside. With a few slight "clicks", the iron door went up with a "click".

Zhu Zi and the others all dismounted and followed the deacon towards the inside, and at this moment, a series of hearty laughter of "hahahaha" came, and I saw a burly middle-aged man about fifty years old laughing and striding over, "Senior Brother Zhou, I haven't seen each other for a long time!" As he spoke, he reached out and shook the deacon's right hand vigorously, and then without waiting for the deacon to speak, he waved his big hand and said, "Let's go!" Brother has already set a glass of thin wine, let's talk while eating," and then said to Zhuzi and the others: "All junior brothers and sisters should also go to have a drink!" Then wash the dust and sleep, it's getting late today, and we'll talk about the experience tomorrow!"

The night was like ink, and the pillar lay on the bed, thinking about what happened tonight. The burly middle-aged surnamed Zhao is also an outer deacon, and his cultivation has actually reached the eighth layer of qi training, which is one level higher than the leader of the pillar, Deacon Zhou! However, the boss here is not him, but another inner door deacon surnamed Wang who is a ninth layer of qi training! However, Deacon Wang is generally in retreat and cultivates, hoping to reach the tenth level of qi training, so that there is a glimmer of hope to build a foundation, once the foundation is successfully built, Shouyuan will immediately double, and live for an extra hundred years! That is something that many people dream of but cannot obtain!

The reason why Deacon Zhao is so enthusiastic seems to have something to ask Deacon Zhou for, and what it is not something that Zhu Zi can know.

The next day, everyone gathered in the hall, Deacon Zhou clapped his hands, everyone immediately looked at him silently, he nodded and raised three fingers and said: "Three things, one, wait for each person to receive a wind talisman, two, the task of this trial is to hand in three corpse cores per person, three, you can form a team or act alone, but you can only move on the first floor, if you go to the second floor, if something goes wrong, you will not be responsible!" Speaking of this, he took out a small stack of spirit runes and said: "Start collecting it now! After receiving it, go to the backyard and enter the Corpse King Cave." I want to remind you that there may be a zombie leader on the first floor, with copper skin and iron bones, and his strength is almost no less than that of a fourth-layer Qi cultivator, if you encounter it, quickly launch the Wind Talisman and escape!"

Everyone stood in front of a mountain wall in the backyard, only to see that in front of them was a pitch-black cave about 3 meters high, "appeal, appeal" as if the murmur from hell slowly drifted out of the cave with a gust of yin wind, even in the sunny early spring, everyone still felt that the hairs stood on end, and a fear floated in their hearts!

However, everyone is a young man with strong blood, so naturally he will not be too afraid, a few older senior brothers, waved their big hands, and said with a smile: "Let's go, we have been to this place before, complete the task early, and you can also search for it, I heard that there are senior brothers who have found the spirit grass spirit stone here!" After speaking, four or five people walked into the cave together.

Walking around, other old disciples also entered in a team, leaving only Zhu Zi and the other 3 new disciples who joined the sect last year, these people generally only cultivate to the first level of Qi training, and the spell is only one "Spiritual Power Missile Technique", or will they learn to use it freely, and bringing them is completely cumbersome, who is willing?

Several teenagers looked at each other, and finally, the pillar said, "Why don't we go together?" The other three were all teenagers over the age of twelve, much taller and larger than the pillar, and they all felt their faces dull when they saw the pillar standing up and talking like a thin monkey......

Zhu Zi reluctantly picked up the necessary items prepared by the sect for the disciples to enter the cave, shook his head and walked into the cave. As soon as I entered the cave, my vision darkened suddenly, and I had only walked less than ten meters, and my vision had become blurry, and all the senior brothers who had entered before could not see it at all! The pillar took out a special small torch and lit it, and as the orange flame ignited, he saw a little farther, and continued to walk forward.

The pillar walked forward, while carefully observing the movement around it, the first floor of this cave was very dry and spacious, except for a faint smell of corpses, the air was relatively fresh, and there was no feeling of suffocation and oppression. The further you go inside, the more forks there are, crisscrossing and crisscrossing people, making it impossible to find the north. Fortunately, each fork in the road has an indicator arrow marked by the sect, guiding the disciples in the cave to find the way out. These arrows are regularly checked by someone to prevent someone from deliberately altering them, and if someone is found to have altered them, at least they will abolish their cultivation and expel them from the sect! Of course, if these trial disciples find that there are places that have been altered, they can also get some rewards if they report to the sect.

In the quiet cave, only the sound of pillars moving back and forth lonely. Zhu Zi didn't expect this cave to be so vast, he had been walking for almost an hour in a row, but he didn't encounter any living creatures, and the whole world seemed to be the only one.

Just when the pillar was a little tired, ready to trim up and drink saliva before setting off, a faint fragrance of lilies wafted slowly, even the smell of corpses full of holes could not be hidden. The pillar's heart moved, could it be the legendary elixir!? Even the lowest-level elixir can be exchanged for three or four spirit stones! The pillar was slightly excited in his heart, as long as he picked this elixir, he could easily advance to the fourth level of qi cultivation and above!
