Fairy cage

A strange figure appeared on the ground like a flicker. His steps were staggering and he looked even weaker than Wu Lizi.

But the speed he was traveling at was not slow. In just a moment, he crossed a thousand miles and appeared near Yu Lie and others.

This man was wearing a black robe, and the style happened to be that of the disciples of Qianzhou Taoist Palace. However, the Taoist robe was worn on him, giving people a simple feeling, and his temperament was sharp, and he had obviously done nothing. Just standing on the hill is like a fine sharp blade cutting the mountain.

The other party looked at the camp and let out a long breath.

This energy was pure white, with silvery white light flashing in it, surrounding him like a snake and insect, cutting the air with a sizzling sound.

This person's face is dull, like a zombie's face, and his appearance is ordinary. But if Longchuan Taoist Master and others were here, they would be able to identify this person's identity with just one glance. Ninety-nine percent of them are the ancient corpse cultivator Hanzi!

Sure enough, after the man relaxed, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheek. The dull zombie face became more vivid, revealing a feminine aura. When his facial features reorganized, it turned out to be that of Shi Hanzi. appearance.

He stared at the temporary camp of Yu Lie and others, and kept thinking in his heart:

"Is this place a trap, or did this group of mountain and sea evil cultivators really encounter an unexpected situation and even abandon their camp?"

Shi Hanzi was thinking, the expression on his face changing unpredictably.

After Haosheng thought about it for a while, he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Even if it is a trap, I have to go and explore it. Otherwise, if I can't get supplies in this area, my golden elixir will really be over." .”

Zhi Hanzi opened his mouth and spat out, and a cracked and dull sword ball jumped out and fell into his hand. The sword energy was wild, buzzing and trembling, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.

A few months ago, he blew up his sword pill golden elixir and successfully killed two Taoist masters from the Mountain and Sea Realm. He also took the opportunity to erase the traces and escape.

But just as Longchuan Taoist and others coveted it, Shihanzi's golden elixir was not completely destroyed. It still survived, but it was just between being destroyed and not being destroyed.

This is because Shihanzi used the secret method of zombies in his sect to freeze his golden elixir. In this way, he suppressed the restless and collapsing true energy inside and maintained the structure of the golden elixir.

There are only two limitations to using such a secret method.

First, the current Shihanzi cannot use the golden elixir. He can only use his physical body and the infuriating energy stored in the physical body. In terms of spells, he can only use spells below the golden elixir.

In addition, his body was seriously injured and has not yet been repaired. It can be said that his strength has truly dropped to the foundation level, and may even be worse than the last Taoist priest who just established the foundation.

Secondly, although the collapse of the golden elixir was stopped, the injury to the golden elixir was not repaired. Not only was he unable to use it, but he also had to consume a lot of spiritual energy to replenish the golden elixir consumption.

It's not a small number.

In the past two or three months, Shihanzi has exhausted the elixirs and spiritual materials in his bag, and has begun to consume the source of his physical body and shorten his lifespan to nourish this elixir.

Now he is eyeing Yu Lie and others because Yu Lie and his group are walking with tens of thousands of people and their energy is leaking out. This "spiritual energy" is really dazzling in the almost soulless world, so it attracts him. .

When Xi Hanzi thought of this, he swallowed the broken sword pill golden elixir and hid it in his body to warm it up. His face became a little more pale, and then with fire in his eyes, he walked towards where Yu Lie and the others were. .

"Aura, aura, aura!"

His body flickered, and every time he took a step, his mouth felt dry and his whole body felt hungry.

As long as he can sneak into the camp and steal enough wealth, he can repair his physical body and golden elixir. However, Shi Hanzi's face was full of covetousness, and what he wanted to do was obviously not as simple as stealing property.

When the camp was getting closer and closer in front of this guy, he looked ferocious and said secretly:

"Such a desolate and ruined world is really suitable for you evil cultivators to hang out together. Since you have forced the poor Tao into this situation, don't blame the poor Tao for learning your method and absorbing spiritual energy from his own soul! "

What Shihanzi longs for is not only the belongings of Yu Lie and others, but also the spiritual power contained in Yu Lie and others!

At this moment, Yu Lie and others were still resting, unaware that they had been targeted by Shi Hanzi.

Soon.

Zhi Hanzi's figure appeared outside the gate of the camp, but when he wanted to go straight into the camp, he stopped and looked fearfully at the dragon aura surrounding the camp.

During the battle with several Taoist masters from the Shanhai Realm, he even tasted the pain of dragon energy.

Once he was marked by such things, even if he had practiced advanced sword control skills, he was unable to hide his figure, and even his escape skills were affected to a certain extent. Therefore, Shi Hanzi is quite afraid of dragon energy now.

His eyes suddenly regained some clarity, and he pondered again: "Is this group of people a trap?"

Because he had initially plundered the origin of this foreign world, he could barely sense this world. In recent days, he relied on this situation to successfully avoid the pursuit of the Taoist masters of Shanhai.

In just the first few days, the old loach's bite was so tight that he almost caught him and made him pay a heavy price.

Except for that one time, Shihanzi never had any dealings with any Taoist masters of the mountains and seas, and no one could trace his traces.

However, over the past few months, Xi Hanzi could clearly feel that the pursuit of him by the Shanhai Realm had not relaxed, but had become more and more tense. Every time he reached a land, he could feel the tense atmosphere.

Therefore, Zhi Hanzi had to wonder whether the group of people who happened to be walking away from the camp at the moment were the Shanhaijie party who once again laid out the bait when they saw that they could not catch him.

For a moment, Zhi Hanzi looked confused and wandered at the dividing line of the camp, not knowing whether he should enter or not.

………………

In the camp, Yu Lie, Wa Twelve and others were sitting cross-legged on the flying carpet. He was meditating and resting when suddenly a ghost flew over and sent out a spiritual consciousness towards him.

After receiving it, Yu Lie suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and shouted to the ghosts and gods: "Let's go!"

Wa Twelve and others were also surprised. They woke up from the breath adjustment one after another. After they looked at each other for a few times, they also walked over.

After a few breaths, several people arrived at the edge of the temporary camp.

At this moment, a lot of people had gathered in the camp, and everyone looked quite excited. It was as if the fear and regret of not long ago had never appeared at all.

When Yu Lie and the ghosts and gods came forward, the dense crowd reacted and immediately got out of the way without his instructions.

Some people kept raising their hands respectfully and calling out: "See Taoist Master Yu!"

Yu Lie nodded slightly and walked to the center of the crowd without stopping.

In the center is an opening that looks like a cave dwelling, with flush cuts, obviously man-made. But the person who took action was not a Taoist from the world of mountains and seas. He was wearing an ancient robe and looked similar to the corpse Hanzi who had suddenly appeared before.

In the cave, there are also scattered utensils placed, including futons for meditation, and fragments of exhausted spiritual stones, all of which are simple in shape and style.

When Yu Lie came, someone in the cave immediately shouted excitedly:

"I found it, I found it! This person is an ancient cultivator. He may be that Zhihanzi. He was seriously injured here and died suddenly!"

The other party leaned in front of the ancient cultivator's body, pacing anxiously.

This is really no wonder this person is not excited. According to the decree issued by those Taoist masters, once Shihanzi is caught, the reward will be unimaginable. Even if they only found traces of the other party, for Yu Lie now, the harvest would make people jealous.

But Yu Lie leaned in front of the ancient cultivator's body and after looking at it carefully, a look of pity appeared on his face.

Yu Lie shook his head, waved his hands and said:

"No, no, this corpse is not that of Zhihanzi."

He paused and explained to the people around him:

"Although this person has not yet rotted and is strong and hard due to his skills, he has been dead for at least half a year. And the performance of this corpse can only prove that he was a seventh-level creature during his lifetime, and may even be an eighth-level creature. ... Various signs indicate that he may also be a disciple of the Taiyin Sword Sect and an ancient cultivator, but he definitely cannot be Shihanzi!"

After everyone heard Yu Lie's explanation, they slowly recovered from their excitement.

They exclaimed in hindsight: "Indeed, that Xie Hanzi is a big shot at Dancheng level and a Taoist master. Even if he is seriously injured and dies, he cannot die in such a humble room."

Others looked remorseful: "What a pity, no!"

Especially the Taoist disciple who first discovered the corpse of the ancient cultivator, his expression was frozen on his face, and he stared at Yu Lie, as if he wanted to eat Yu Lie.

Yu Lie's words broke his idea of ​​making a fortune. But the man glared for a few times and then lowered his head again, looking ashen and afraid to say anything more.

But suddenly, Yu Lie spoke to this person: "Since this corpse is that of an ancient cultivator, it may be of some use to the poor Taoist."

He took out a storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to the Taoist disciple who discovered Gu Xiu's body. He smiled and said, "You were the first to discover this body. Can you give this body to me?"

The Taoist disciple looked at Yu Lie blankly, with a happy expression on his face. He quickly grabbed the storage bag, but then rubbed his hands and hesitated.

After bowing his hands in a friendly manner, he took it and said happily: "Taoist Master Yu, you're too polite. You don't need it. You don't need it."

When the energy was released from the storage bag, after a cursory glance, the man's face became even more rosy, and he clutched the storage bag tightly, refusing to let go at all.

Such a scene fell in the eyes of everyone, making everyone feel quite funny. But amidst the fun, most people looked at the Taoist disciple with envy.

In particular, Yu Lie bent down again, took something from Gu Xiu's waist, and handed it to the Taoist disciple: "Fellow Taoist, you haven't collected the objects on this corpse yet."

This object is in the shape of a small knife and gui, made of jade. Although the owner has been dead for a long time, it has lost its aura and is quite broken. However, it is obvious that this object is not a decoration, but probably a decoration. A magic weapon.

The Taoist disciple took the object with even more joy on his face. He was overjoyed when he touched the object.

These objects, which are most likely Taoist ritual implements, are still treasures to Taoist disciples even if they are broken. Perhaps because it is an ancient cultivator object, after the training is over, if this object is sold in the Tao City, it will sell for more than the price of an ordinary seventh-grade soul weapon, and it will be collected by Taoists who like to collect it.

The Taoist disciple did not expect that Yu Lie did not swallow the food, but gave it to him. It should be noted that when they first discovered the cave, several of their Taoist disciples fought with each other because of the storage bags on the corpses.

However, there were not many treasures in the corpse storage bag. Instead, they wasted the spiritual stone charms and attracted more people. Under the stalemate, everyone lost the opportunity to continue to divide the benefits of the corpse.

The other people in the ancient repair cave looked at the lucky Taoist disciple with even more envy.

Seeing this, Yu Lie took the opportunity and said loudly:

"Fellow Taoists, if the bones of these ancient cultivators are discovered again, you can tell me. I will never take advantage of them. If there is someone who values ​​them, I will only trade them."

After saying this, he touched the ancient cultivator's body, put it into his sleeve, and walked out of the cave in a big way.

Soon, this incident spread to the ears of all Taoist disciples.

Many Taoist disciples felt refreshed, and as soon as they had rested, they walked around the temporary camp, hoping to find another ancient cave with good luck and earn benefits.

In addition, the anxious Taoist disciples also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Lie's move of spending money to buy Gu Xiu's corpse showed his rule-abiding side and made everyone who was wary of his rebellious behavior feel a little more at ease.

"At least, until there is such a big benefit as meeting Shihanzi, this person named Yu should not mess around again, and the safety of staying in the camp is somewhat guaranteed."

Everyone was talking privately.

After finishing all the chores, Yu Lie dug a new cave and got into it, asking others not to disturb him for the time being.

After arranging the formation and other means, he placed the ancient cultivator's body out and stared at it with twinkling eyes.

Unlike the Taoist disciples who could only see with their naked eyes or sense their true energy through the air, Yu Lie could penetrate the corpse with his spiritual consciousness and look at its entire cavity.

After his inspection, it was clear that the corpse of the ancient cultivator had already transformed into a corpse, but was just before the stage of corpse fraud.

The zombies transformed from the corpses of these seventh-grade creatures are extremely valuable materials, far more than a broken ancient magic weapon.

Moreover, Yu Lie found out from the surging corpse energy inside the corpse that it seemed to be running a kind of skill on its own, even after death, which made him quite concerned.

Yu Lie looked expectant: "Could it be that there is a secret method or magic in this ancient cultivator's corpse?"
