Beasts become gods

Chapter 318 The Secret of the Soul Burial Palace

Zhan Lu cut the meat of the Diya Yak into strips. The sharp blade was actually made from Zhan Lu's fingers. It was really cold and terrifying. However, Zhan Lu's mouth never stopped, but when he spoke

He deliberately turned his head to the side to prevent his spittle from splashing on the meat strips. It was obvious that Zhan Lu was very particular about cooking.

Each meat strip is cut very evenly, as long as the forearm and as thick as two fingers. It is moderately thick and fat and thin. The meat strips are inserted into the prepared branches and smeared with golden honey.

, and apply a layer of brown dipping sauce. The sauce is translucent and looks very sticky.

Wang Chengliang was already hungry. While listening to Zhan Lu talking non-stop, he watched Zhan Lu smearing sauce on both sides of the meat sticks. Just looking at the sauces made him feel that they tasted great. This Zhan Lu

Where did you learn these cooking techniques? It’s already delicious even before it’s cooked.

I saw Zhan Lu flipping his wrist skillfully, with light and uncomplicated movements. The evenly coated meat strips were swept repeatedly in the outer flame above the firewood. After a dozen times, he took the meat strips back and grilled them with grease.

The beef strips exuded an extremely exaggerated heat, drifting towards the Huanshan Pass.

"Eat it while it's hot. We'll be ours from now on. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you." Zhan Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Chengliang with amusement. He handed over the meat strips and skewers without hesitation and raised them horizontally.

Wang Chengliang raised his chin to indicate for him to open his mouth.

"Who and yourself... Wu... Wu... Wu... are on your own?" Wang Chengliang wanted to retort, but mid-sentence, the stick of meat handed over by Zhan Lu was pressed against his teeth. In this cold cave,

The middle strip of meat quickly cooled down, and it was actually warm when your teeth touched it, not hot at all.

The flavor of the sauce is not strong, on the contrary, it is very light and does not taste salty. The meat strips dipped in honey are extremely smooth and tender. The originally firm beef becomes elastic when dipped in honey, and the meat strips do not feel greasy when chewed with your teeth.

, on the contrary, it has a soft and glutinous texture and the taste is also excellent, even better than the bowl of beef soup just now.

"Then you have to think clearly. Knowing so many secrets of the Hall of Souls, it is impossible for you to leave here alive. Either accept the life and death curse from the master of the hall, or I will make you a dead ghost and give you a ride."

Wang Chengliang sighed secretly, reminiscing about the unique taste of barbecue sticks, and chewing over and over again what Zhan Lu had just said in detail.

It turns out that the current owner of the Soul Burial Hall is named Lin Yihuan. His mother, Yu Xiao, passed away due to illness and poured her life's spiritual power into Lin Yihuan's body, opening up all the acupoints and spiritual veins in her body and teaching her the most basic knowledge of the Soul Burial Hall.

After learning all the skills and tips, he drew the life and death mantras of the disciples in the temple one by one into an atlas. When he was dying, Yu Xiao asked Lin Yihuan to memorize them. After Lin Yihuan finally memorized the life and death mantras of all the disciples in the temple, Yu Xiao breathed his last and his soul was satisfied.

The most precious treasure of the Soul Seizing Hall is the Soul-Seizing Bell, which has been owned by past palace masters.

I heard that this soul-seizing bell is one of the three treasures of the master of the palace. It is not a man-made spiritual weapon. It is an ordinary iron weapon, but it is supplemented by the soul-seizing and soul-seizing techniques and the heart-breaking and bone-breaking techniques from the secret scriptures of the Soul Burial Hall.

It is formed by the souls of the previous palace masters and elders after their death. The disciples in the ordinary palace have never seen this object at all. Those who are not deeply cultivated and have not reached the Jingyuan realm in spiritual power cannot use these treasures at all.

According to Zhan Lu, there should have been four treasures in the Soul Burial Hall. Among them, the Soul Capturing Cauldron was accidentally lost hundreds of years ago and could not be found after decades of searching. There is also an oral rule in the Soul Burial Hall that any Soul Capturing Cauldron is found.

Regardless of their strength, people can become the elders of the Soul Soul Palace and enjoy the highest honor. They can also have the power to control the Soul Soul Capture Cauldron. This is why countless Soul Soul Soul Palace disciples are interested in the Soul Soul Capture Cauldron. Unfortunately, there is no result. The treasure weapon

He has been living in exile, and the strength of the previous palace masters cannot match that of the founder of the sect, He Yu. No one can imitate the ancestor to rebuild the soul-capturing cauldron, and this matter has been revealed.

Lin Yihuan is the seventh Hall Master of the Hall of Enshrined Souls. Anyone who joins the Hall of Enshrined Souls must be given a life and death curse by Lin Yihuan. Life and death are all decided by the hall master's thoughts. The full-screen hall master's preference determines whether he can survive. No matter where he is in the end of the world, as long as the palace

When the master erases the imprint of the life and death curse in the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, the disciple corresponding to the life and death curse will die of insanity, which is almost irreversible.

People who are born as people in the Hall of Souls are also ghosts in the Hall of Souls in death. The reason why so many people are still willing to serve in the Hall of Souls is because the skills are unparalleled and their improvement in spiritual power is obvious. Since the Life and Death Curse is

The life-calling talisman is also a catalyst for improving the quality of mental power. When the sea of ​​consciousness has not yet formed, the life and death curse will try its best to develop the depth and breadth of the space of the sea of ​​consciousness. After the sea of ​​consciousness is formed, it will be integrated into the sea of ​​consciousness, catalyzing the spiritual power to the greatest extent, making

Spirit warriors who are imbued with a life-and-death curse can strengthen their spiritual power faster than other spirit warriors.

According to Zhan Lu, this life and death curse is not a dead thing, but an unconscious carrier formed by countless souls before dissipating. Making a life and death curse and planting it into the body of a spiritual warrior is equivalent to forcibly integrating an unconscious soul carrier into the spiritual warrior.

It's simply a plug-in.

Of course, what makes Wang Chengliang angry is the current palace master Lin Yihuan, who is only eight years old...

Since his cultivation, he has enjoyed countless glory and wealth, fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, and is used to the life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Wang Chengliang actually does not want to die early. He is willing to come to this bitter and cold place because he wants to be a man in another world.

Being a local emperor is also a kind of happiness.

Unfortunately, things went against expectations. No matter how loud the abacus was, there was no slap in the face from reality. The young general galloping on the battlefield was now nailed to death by this so-called soul-piercing crucifixion. His spiritual power was running extremely slowly, less than one thousandth of normal.

As long as the tentacles of mental power are tested outward, the pain will be as painful as thousands of hammers, and the sea of ​​mental consciousness will be as painful as thousands of needles.

"Do I have any choice..." Wang Chengliang shook his head bitterly, but he did not dare to move too much and pull the sore.

"Since you have no choice, you might as well join us. Apart from swearing allegiance to the palace master's orders, you can do whatever you want. Just continuing to be your brigade commander does not prevent you from being the emperor of the northern border.

."

Zhan Lu is focusing on the barbecue at this moment. The reason why the barbecue strips are delicious is that the heat is just right. This not only requires experience and habits, but also requires the use of mental tentacles to sense the toughness of the barbecue. It has to be said that Zhan Lu is very fond of the barbecue.

The cooking was done with great care. Just when the fat was about to drip off, Zhan Lu turned the barbecue over and cooked it over the outer flame. The rich and fragrant gravy was locked in the meat, which made it even more delicious.

A Diya yak turned into food in more than half an hour. The two of them destroyed all the barbecue strips. As for the pot of beef soup, which was still hot on the oven rack, it was obvious that both of them were done.

With a full stomach, Wang Chengliang was still chewing the meat strips repeatedly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was muttering to himself. Zhan Lu could not hear the subtle sound, but he only thought it was the subtle sound made by Wang Chengliang chewing the meat strips.

"That's it for today. I'm sure you haven't figured it out for a while. I'll bring you a Dream Snow Deer in a few days and cook you another meal. But the palace master only asked me to cook three meals for you.

, I guess it’s the deadline, you’d better think about it carefully, and tell me when you think about it clearly.”

Seeing Zhan Lu packing up the kitchen utensils and looking like he was about to leave, all the beef from the pot of beef soup was taken out and placed in a wooden bowl. It was obvious that he did not intend to stay here any longer.

"Can you tell me why the Soul Soul Palace wants me to join? Do you want me to be a puppet, at the mercy of your palace master? What is the purpose of your Soul Soul Palace planning like this?" Indescribable emotions were instantly filled.

In Wang Chengliang's chest, there are thousands of thoughts weighing on his heart like a huge stone. For some reason, Wang Chengliang feels that if he doesn't ask now, it will be difficult to ask clearly in the future.

"Because it's fun." Zhan Lu stopped what he was doing, looked up at Wang Chengliang, whose limbs and joints were penetrated by soul-piercing nails, and said solemnly.

"Fun?" Wang Chengliang was stunned, not expecting such an answer at all.

"Yes, the master of the palace is only eight years old now. It's the time when he is curious about everything. I heard that you are a general and want to absorb you into the Soul Burial Hall. It's as simple as that."

"..." In Wang Chengliang's mind, there were countless mud horses galloping past. Mad, he had imagined countless reasons why he was captured here, but never thought that it was to satisfy a child's curiosity?

"At present, the mind of the palace master is not yet mature. My mother passed away and was taken care of by four maids. The one who trapped you here is the maid, not me. Every injustice has its owner. If you want to pursue the case, go to the maid.

It's troublesome, but with your current strength, you can't last more than three rounds in the hands of the maid."

"What kind of cultivation is the eldest maid?"

"The four maids are all at the Spiritual Saint Realm. The eldest maid is also a spiritual formation master. The entire set of spirit formations was prepared for you by the eldest maid."

"Hiss..." Wang Chengliang couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air. The resentment he had originally felt dissipated immediately. It was a joke. He was competing against four strong men with cultivation levels in the Spiritual Saint Realm. Did he think he didn't live long enough?

Is this soul burial hall really so powerful? How can a mere maid possess such a high level of cultivation?

"As for the purpose of the Hall of Souls, it was originally to sit in the north and suppress the Fire Lord. The founder of the sect, He Yu, captured three crystal dragons and planted eighty-one levels of bans respectively, so that the crystal dragons would suppress the sleeping Fire Lord in the north for all their lives.

.Nowadays, disasters are rampant, wars are endless, and human desires are endless. In order to prevent the war from spreading to the north, we must ensure that the north will not be affected by the war. If the Fire Lord awakens, there will be no strong person in the Spiritual Emperor Realm in the world to compete with him.

The entire Luo Empire will be reduced to scorched earth, let alone other territories."

"Fire Lord? What is Fire Lord?" Wang Chengliang was stunned for a moment after being told this, and he could no longer understand what Zhan Lu said.

"I don't know what the Fire Lord is. I have been an orphan since I was a child. After accidentally joining the Soul Enchanting Hall, I slowly learned about the existence of the Fire Lord. Although I don't know exactly what the Fire Lord is, we all know it.

The three-headed crystal dragon was captured by He Yu from other places. The ice crystal snow monsters in this world are all spiritual beasts that can survive the dragon's breath. After a long period of time, their physiques have changed, adapted to the climate and environment, and assisted the crystal dragon.

Suppress the Fire Lord."

Wang Chengliang digested Zhan Lu's words, which Zhan Lu had never mentioned before, and he came to his senses after repeated deliberation.

"Are you an orphan?"

"Yes, my parents left me as long as I can remember. My father was forcibly recruited to fight against the invasion of the Aolai Empire. My mother became seriously ill due to longing and grief. She left me forever before I could survive the winter. She was later buried in the body. The palace took him in and planted a life-and-death curse, and took this opportunity to awaken his spiritual veins and give birth to a spiritual knot, serving the master of the Soul-Capturing Hall."

"Your experience has also been very tortuous..."

"Let's put it this way, you fought hard for the empire's territory, and one general achieved great success. The imperial court will only remember your meritorious service, and those dead soldiers will only be compensated. The imperial court is in decay, and the emperor is stupid and incompetent. You What I serve is a crumbling dry old tree, and my position changes with the will of the imperial court. And I fight for the people in the north. Protecting this land is a blessing to thousands of creatures. It is not noble or despicable, but your Merits will be engraved on monuments, but my achievements can only be known in my heart."

"Am I not making sacrifices for this common people? Do you think I am willing to wear armor and go into battle with my hands covered in blood?" As if he was talking about the pain point, Wang Chengliang's reaction became more intense, and faces appeared in his mind. It's a pity. They had all died in battle, and everything they had experienced during their lifetimes was etched in Wang Chengliang's mind and could not be erased.

"The world remembers your greatness, but aren't all your efforts just to make the world admire you?"

Zhan Lu asked back, which made Wang Chengliang feel embarrassed. His voice was trembling and a little choked. He wanted to say something to rebut, but he couldn't come up with a word in his mouth. The eyes of those former robes were still vivid in his mind, and he wavered. I can't stop crying, and regret fills my heart. I can survive until now because countless comrades sacrificed their lives to fulfill me. I was blinded by the name of Major General. I was pure and kind in the beginning. Gradually lost in the power disputes in the imperial court, he learned various ways to control power.

Unexpectedly, I was in the hinterland of Xueyue Mountain. Recalling all the past experiences, I watched Zhan Lu flying out of the mountain pass with wings on his back. The flying snow in the sky was blowing more fiercely, and the surroundings fell into silence again. I looked down. The pieces of cooked meat in the wooden bowl gradually became cold, and I couldn't let go for a long time.

The vast frost and snow in the north never end, and there are too many life, separation, and death buried under the thick snow. No one cares about them, and no one knows their past.

If you sink like this, your flesh and blood will be dyed white, and all your past pursuits will be like a dream.

The day of reunion with loved ones will also be far away.

…

"It's so delicious! This fish soup is really amazing! I really can't eat it anymore. The original soup is transformed into the original food, it tastes great!"

Jiang Shengping changed her usual boring attitude, holding the porcelain bowl and pouring it into her mouth. She said she couldn't eat but her movements didn't stop. It didn't look like she couldn't eat.

"Okay, okay, eat less. There is a group battle in the afternoon. You should calm down." Yao Min on the side advised, and Yao Min had become a lot more mature without knowing it, and he spoke like an adult.

Wu Tongsuo stood aside with a sad face. This Lanjiang Restaurant is a very famous restaurant in Lanwu City. It has private rooms and private rooms. Wu Tongsuo still doesn't know much about prices. He heard the street vendors strongly recommend it and bought it. The student was led here, and after having a meal, he took out a lot of Gallo coins, which made him feel heartbroken. Even Hu Peiwen complained about how to spend money in such a high-end environment, and some words were used to appease Hu Peiwen and Wu Tong. Suo didn't care if there was other people's saliva on the leftovers, he picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it directly.

"This mouthful is three Garo silver coins... This mouthful is two Garo silver coins..."

No one could hear what Wu Tongsuo said clearly. The students were very excited, especially the students who participated in the battle in the morning. Everyone knew that it was not easy to win. The students from Pinglan Province Junior Lingwu College

The comprehensive level of the students was significantly higher than that of Dinghai Province. The victory was entirely due to the formation of troops, but this did not affect the excitement of the students.

Ding Lin is in high spirits today and looks in high spirits. She didn't eat much at lunch. Her smooth and pretty face has a touch of pink. She covers her mouth and snickers from time to time, which is very tempting and sweet.

Like a juicy peach, Qiao Bang's heart swayed, but he suppressed this admiration in his heart, always reminding himself that his true age had already exceeded thirty years old.

For some reason, Qiao Bang always felt cramped. Ding Lin seemed to see that he was looking at her. When his gentle eyes met with Ding Lin's, Qiao Bang could feel that Ding Lin was hurriedly avoiding his gaze, even if it was her.

Later, Qiao Bang reminded himself in his mind not to think wildly, but he could still feel Ding Lin staring at him, the focus of her eyes always falling on him, which made him at a loss what to do.

"Kids, look here."

Wu Tongsuo's voice was soft and his eyes were warm. The students all looked at Wu Tongsuo, waiting for Wu Tongsuo to continue.

"We are happy that we won in the morning, but don't forget that we have a team battle in the afternoon. Although we won, I have to remind you that the reason why we won in the morning was because your captain did sufficient intelligence analysis on the opponent. You are on the field.

You are dealing with opponents that you can restrain. After defeating the opponent, the opponent will send out spirit warriors who restrain your contracted spirit beasts. With everyone's efforts, the battle was won. And the group battle in the afternoon will test everyone's tacit understanding.

To a certain extent, it will be easier to persevere if the elemental attributes are complementary, so I propose that Chopin, Ding Lin, Yang Liu, Wu Han, and Zhou Xin were originally on the field, and I want to make temporary adjustments to replace Wu Han and Lin Xinrui."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Naturally, the most unhappy person was Wu Han, who had pursed his lips at this moment, obviously dissatisfied with the decision made by Wu Tongsuo.

"That's not right, head teacher, I don't think Wu Han should be replaced." Suddenly, a voice came out, and everyone stopped talking in low voices and looked at Qiao Bang who stood up in shock.

"Tell me your judgment." Wu Tongsuo was not annoyed. Instead, he looked at Qiao Bang with interest. It can be said that half of the credit for the victory in the morning was attributed to Qiao Bang's overall planning. If Qiao Bang hadn't faced it head-on,

Without Ni Haoyang's offensive, it will be difficult to win consistently in the future.

"I don't know if you noticed that there are three students from the other side who did not participate in the morning round battle, but their strength cannot be underestimated. They are former classmate Zhu Hankun who is standing on the spectator stand, and Feng Wenqing, Fan Zhiqiang and Zhu Hankun who are standing on the bench.

Everyone is more or less aware of his abilities. He has contracted with wind-attributed spirit beasts and thunder-attributed spirit beasts. He has strong mobility and is good at supporting and interfering. Feng Wenqing has contracted with wind-attributed spirit beasts and water-attributed spirit beasts. He is quite powerful.

He is close to the spirit realm, and Fan Zhiqiang is already at the spirit realm and has contracted with wind, earth and steel spirit beasts. My inference is that Feng Wenqing is good at trapping single people, and he is probably targeting

I may belong to Yangliu, and Fan Zhiqiang is a spiritual warrior second only to Ni Haoyang. The opponent will most likely work with Ni Haoyang to get rid of me first, so the group battle will become much easier."

"Where did you get this information?" Wu Tongsuo couldn't help but ask. He didn't expect that Qiao Bang could speak so clearly. After thinking about it carefully, it did make some sense.

"I went to find out while everyone was sleeping." Qiao Bang lied without making a draft, and just made up a nonsense reason to excuse him.

Everyone was shocked when these words came out, especially Wu Han. He didn't expect that Qiao Bang had done all this in order to win. Did he work hard in a place that others couldn't see?

Everyone was lost in thought. What Qiao Bang didn't know was that his perfunctory answer actually became the source of the students' involution.

"I see, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chopin. Now that you have full confidence and judgment, which of the students present do you think is suitable for the final lineup?"

"I, Ding Lin, Nie Xiaolong, Wu Han, Zhou Xin."

"Oh? Tell me."

"I infer that the opponent's lineup is Ni Haoyang, Yang Jungang, Zhu Hankun, Feng Wenqing, and Fan Zhiqiang, with Ni Haoyang and Fan Zhiqiang as the leaders, Yang Jungang as the defense, Zhu Hankun and Feng Wenqing as the auxiliary support. Then I can use Zhou Xin and Nie Xiaolong as the attack points, and Ding Lin

Interfering Zhu Hankun's next move in the air, Nie Xiaolong tried his best to interfere with Feng Wenqing, while Wu Han and Yang Jungang faced each other head-on, making sure to drag the opponent as far away from Ni Haoyang and Fan Zhiqiang's range as possible, while I will deal with Ni Haoyang and Fan Zhiqiang."

"You? Can you do it alone?" Wu Han couldn't help but speak and burst into laughter, obviously feeling that he had heard a big joke.

"Why not? Do you think I used 50% of my strength this morning?" Qiao Bang retorted, squinting at Wu Han with too much emotion in his eyes, which made Wu Han very uncomfortable.

Wu Han wanted to refute, but found that the students around him couldn't help but nod, which shocked him. He wanted to refute a few words, but he felt very pale.

"This lineup is good, but Wu Han has just joined the academy and has not yet gotten along with you. Why don't we replace him and let Jiang Shengping play?" Wu Tongsuo reminded, obviously he was still a little worried about Qiao Bang's deployment.

"It doesn't matter. Although Wu Han has not run in with us, it will be a little difficult to cooperate. But in this battle, Wu Han only needs to fight against Yang Jungang. As long as he can hold off Yang Jungang, he can win. Wu Han, this battle

Your role in the team battle is very important. Whether you can hold Yang Jungang down will determine whether we can let go of the attack. It's up to you." Qiao Bang felt bad when he heard that Wu Tongsuo wanted to make substitutions on the spot, especially Wu Han's

His brows were already furrowed, and he was muttering unconsciously. He felt helpless, even though he had to appease this new classmate.

"I will definitely keep an eye on him!" Wu Han was still a child after all. After hearing the high praise from his classmates, his unhappiness disappeared and he immediately expressed his stance.

"Yang Liu, I'm sorry to have to let you rest. I apologize to you here." Qiao Bang expressed his stance in front of all the students and bowed with a very respectful attitude.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't like fighting either... Xiaolong, you have to work hard, take my share, and you must win!" Yang Liu was flattered, took a step back and waved his hands quickly, his embarrassed expression looked so cute, and he hurriedly changed the subject.

.

"I will fight until the last moment!" Nie Xiaolong clenched his fist and shook it upward. A determined expression appeared on the baby's face, which made Hu Peiwen want to laugh out loud, but she still held it back, and then

The uncontrollable sound of retching attracted the attention of all the students present.

"Teacher Hu, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Lin Xinrui was closest to Hu Peiwen and asked.

"Your Teacher Hu is a little acclimatized. He will be fine after taking a rest. Don't worry. Everyone must pay attention to your own safety in the afternoon battle and don't force yourself. Life is more than just this battle. You will have many battles to face in the future.

"Protecting yourself is the most important thing, is it clear?"

"knew."

Wu Tongsuo cleared the topic in a few words and made the students mentally prepared. The students who could not compete took the initiative to come to the Lingwu Arena to cheer for their classmates. Hu Songtao and Tian Ye took the lead in guiding the students into the Colosseum.

At the entrance, Wu Tongsuo supported Hu Peiwen and walked forward slowly. Wu Tongsuo's cautious look was a bit exaggerated, but Hu Peiwen was enjoying it very much. Pedestrians on the street walked around when they saw this, and everyone with a discerning eye saw it.

Look at Hu Peiwen's current situation.

"Brother Suo, you don't have to be so nervous. I'll be fine."

"I'm not nervous, I'm just worried that you might bump into me."

"I'm not porcelain. You're too careful. People on the street are looking at me. Don't be like this..."

"What are you afraid of? Just let them see how beautiful my wife is and how handsome I am!"

"Brother Suo, I'm embarrassed, please don't hold me up, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I agree to whatever you say."

The two people were walking slowly, and a loving couple stepped side by side into the Lingwu Battle Arena. Not far away, there was a fiery red figure motionless on the Lanjiang Tower, watching the two people gradually go away until they disappeared from sight.

Her eyes were red and blurred, and she was filled with tears. There were thousands of threads in her heart that she couldn't get rid of. She had been looking forward to that man appearing in front of her again, and the plot that had been brewing for countless times had been rehearsed.

How many times.

Now we meet again, and there is a beautiful woman beside him, so beautiful that it dismays others.

I once fantasized about staying together for a lifetime, looking forward to having countless possibilities with that man, having children and grandchildren around my knees, reading all the smoke, etc...

Now he is mature enough. In the past, he was reckless and irritable. He would come to the aid of others when the road was rough. He hated evil and refused to give in. When we met again, he had washed away his past, no longer stuck to the surface, he could see more clearly, but he was no longer single...

Even on days with clear skies, she still feels empty inside. Years of admiration have finally come to nothing, and secret love has ended in vain...

She is Xie Wangchuan. Since ancient times, she has been infatuated with many fantasy dreams, and her heart has secretly become empty.
