Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 123 Owl God Bone Incense Road Soul Killing Talisman

 “Mandrill?”

 Hear the word.

Several people on the boat could not hide their astonishment.

 His eyes quickly retracted from the animal teeth and jade, and instead fell on the white bones.

I saw that among the three white bones, except for the one in the middle that was slightly taller, the two beside them were extremely short, less than half a person's height.

 Looking like a child of only three or four years old.

 When it was shaken out of the skin just now, it was because of this that they didn't think too much about it.

What I saw along the way.

 Hateful people and corpse puppets are countless.

 Have a general understanding of the various evil methods used by King Xian.

But at this moment, I hold the lantern in my hand and look at it again.

 A few people quickly discovered something was wrong.

Although he is short in stature, his shape is extremely strange.

 He has a big head, short legs, and especially long arms.

The key is.

 The white bones are osteoporotic and rough, and they look like those of the elderly.

Especially one set of teeth. A cursory scan revealed a total of thirty-two teeth, which were clearly all grown in.

 Not only is it sharp, but it also has obvious signs of wear.

 “Not a young child indeed.”

 “And...not owned by anyone.”

“Looking at the finger bones and teeth, it should belong to the ape species.”

“It’s unmistakable. Although these three skeletons are close to humans, you can tell by looking at the tail vertebrae that they are most likely humanoid.”

 This group of people are all veterans of the martial arts world and have seen countless corpses.

This thing is just like the patina of a bright vessel. It’s hard to explain. It may seem like a subtle difference, but you can see the general outline at a glance.

 Just a moment.

Has already analyzed the bones clearly.

only…

 They still don’t quite understand.

 Why does Chen Yulou dare to make such a conclusion?

 Perhaps it’s a monkey.

 Gibbons are very consistent with its characteristics.

Although no one spoke, how could Chen Yulou not understand their thoughts.

 Spit out a thick breath.

 Explain it simply.

The mandrill, also known as the mountain mandrill, is a mountain monster that only exists in legends.

 Earliest appeared in Shan Hai Jing.

There is a Gan giant in the south, with a human face and long arms, a black body with hair, and lips covering its face. It smiles when everyone smiles.

It is also recorded in the Shenyi Sutra: The mandrill is long and black, with infinite strength. He can tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands and is the overlord of the mountains.

 In Baobuzi, the description of the mandrill is more detailed.

 ‘The mountain spirit is shaped like a child, with one leg facing backward. It likes to offend people at night, so it is called a mountain mandrill’.

These rumors seem to be no different from folklore.

 But the reason why he concluded so.

But it’s because of the weird and vague aura on the white bones.

 But even he can only capture it with the help of his spiritual consciousness.

That breath is somewhere between a demon and a god.

 But there is an indescribable sense of familiarity.

 Chen Yulou thought for a long time.

 Just remembered.

It is somewhat similar to the aura of the big ghost that I noticed that day in Long Moye's land deep in the back mountains of Maluzhai.

 “Yuan Hong!”

Seeing the expressions of several people becoming more and more puzzled, Chen Yulou couldn't help but frown.

That breath is extremely weak.

He didn't dare to act recklessly, fearing that once he used the spiritual energy, it would dissipate into nothingness.

While hesitating, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, it was squatting on the stone bridge, scratching its head and ears, its face full of anxiety.

"Owner…"

 Hear his greeting.

Yuan Hong was already impatient.

Na was still able to hold back, so he immediately reached out to grab a few hanging branches and swung them forward with all his strength.

 draws a half-arc in mid-air.

 The next moment it landed steadily on the bamboo raft.

 As soon as it lands.

Yuan Hong stared at the bones in the copper box. In his amber eyes, there was not only fear and fear, but also a touch of greed and desire that could not be concealed.

 Fear comes from bloodline suppression.

 But the desire is driven by the wild nature in one’s heart.

It can clearly detect that there is a smell hidden in the white bones that makes its soul tremble.

Just devour it.

 You can become stronger by yourself.

 “Gudong…”

At this moment, it seemed that there were only white bones in its eyes, and it couldn't help but swallowed hard.

 Perception of its strangeness.

Partridge Whistle and the others couldn't help but look weird.

They all saw the changes in Yuan Hong as they walked along the way.

Compared to the old ape who stole corpse-eating energy from Pingshan, it can be said that the sky and the earth have completely changed.

 Be able to read and write, speak and practice.

If it were another person, he would never have imagined that it turned out to be a wild beast in the mountains.

At the moment, it was the first time since the end of Pingshan that they once again felt the wildness and instinct of beasts in it.

 “Yuan Hong!”

"exist…"

 “Do you know me?”

It wasn’t until Chen Yulou’s voice rang in its ears that Yuan Hong woke up from a dream.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he was still staring at the bones, reluctant to move away.

 “Reply to the master, I know you.”

 “Among the genus of apes in the world, the mandrill is the longest.”

“These three bodies are the remains of mandrills.”

Yuan Hong nodded heavily and said in a deep voice.

 Sure enough!

 Hear the words it.

 The group of people finally confirmed.

Just as the dragon is the leader of scale insects, the tiger is the master of the mountains and forests, the birds are respected by the phoenix, and the same is true for apes and monkeys.

It’s just that mandrills are naturally psychic, and it’s hard to find traces of them when traveling through mountains and rivers.

Even though Yuan Hong lived in Pingshan for decades.

 Have never seen it either.

 But some things are engraved in bloodline memory.

Although I have never seen a mandrill, I can confirm it from the breath and the suppression at the soul level.

"etc!"

Yuan Hong just finished speaking.

Partridge Whistle’s expression suddenly changed, as if he had caught something.

“Brother Chen, you said before that mandrills are monsters in the mountains and are naturally psychic?”

"good."

Seeing him confirm, Partridge Whistle finally understood, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he just kept mumbling.

 “That’s right…”

 “It seems that Brother Dao has also figured it out.”

Chen Yulou smiled.

With Partridge Whistle’s knowledge and ability, it would be strange to not expect it.

“Senior brother, what are you and Brother Chen talking about?”

Just, listening to the riddle-like conversation between the two.

Hua Ling became more and more puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

Not only her, but also Kunlun, the old foreigner and the red **** the side obviously didn't understand either.

 In the eyes of several people.

Even if it is a mandrill, it is rare at best.

Along the way, I have never seen any kind of monsters like the old turtle in the river, the giant python in the lake, the giant ghost in the Wa village, and the monsters in the cave.

 Hands on.

To them, the shock brought by the three white bones was far less than the insect corpse floating in the water next to them.

 “It’s very simple.”

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

“Actually, Zhongshan mandrills are the real mountain gods of Zhelong Mountain. Thousands of years ago, the Yi people who have lived here for generations discovered them and regarded mandrills as mountain gods.”

“That’s why the mountain **** enshrined in the temple we saw when we came here has a black face.”

“As for the two green-faced and fanged imps next to me…”

 He stretched out his hand and pointed at the two white skeletons next to him that were obviously much shorter.

“The gourd and the toad are the magic weapons of the mountain god?”

Hua Ling said with bright eyes.

"clever."

Chen Yulou glanced at her with a smile and nodded appreciatively.

 “The toad is the thing in the lake.”

“As for the gourd, haven’t you noticed that this underground cave is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, resembling a gourd?”

 Hearing this, the group, including the Partridge Whistle, fell into memories.     “It seems to be true.”

 Although the entire lake is always shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see its entirety.

 But the moment before more than twenty sky lanterns flew into the sky.

Light dispels darkness.

 You can still vaguely see some outlines.

“That’s not right, shopkeeper, if they are the mountain gods, what happened to that insect?”

Hong girl’s beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

He pointed at the insect corpse floating on the lake.

 There is still a bit of confusion in his eyes.

 “The mandrills were killed, and the barbarians became prisoners of war and slaves who repaired the tombs.”

"In order to guard this place and occupy the mountain god's ancestral cave, King Xian locked the mandrill's bones into a copper box and let the undead insect swallow it."

 Chen Yulou explained calmly.

  Just between the lines, it makes people shudder.

Although it happened thousands of years ago, it has already disappeared in the long river of history.

  But from all the details.

 You can still get a glimpse of the truth at that time.

In order to verify what he thought, Chen Yulou picked up the leather bag that was thrown aside.

 By the flickering light of the fire.

 In a matter of seconds, strange patterns appeared one by one in the skin.

 Like a bunch of tadpoles floating.

 “It’s the rune on the copper box.”

Hong girl recognized it immediately.

These patterns are almost identical to those engraved on the copper box.

"good…"

 Chen Yulou exhaled.

 The gaze also became solemn.

"I didn't dare to confirm it before, but now it seems that it should be the soul-killing talisman used to suppress souls."

Soul-killing Talisman? !

Three simple words, but it made the people on the boat feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.

Just listen to the name.

You can also guess some of the functions of this rune.

“It should be similar to the victory-weary method I saw in Pingshan before, right?”

 “I am tired of sealing my soul, but I will forever suppress the luck of the barbarians.”

Partridge Whistle's pupils shuddered slightly, with a lingering gloomy look.

“What Brother Dao said is exactly what I think.”

 Chen Yulou nodded.

At this point, like the fog on the lake, the fog that has always shrouded everyone's minds has actually become completely clear.

 “The undead insect?”

Seeing that several people were deep in thought, Kunlun, who had been silent for the whole time, mentioned something.

but…

 Hear this.

 Chen Yulou could not hide his admiration when he looked at him.

This question is the key to all the weirdness here.

 Hulu Cave, a large lake, a toad as big as a cart, an ancient tree shaped like a rock, and the immortal mantis and worm.

These monsters seem like they should not exist in the world.

 In other words, species that have become extinct long ago.

 But he is alive here.

 Precisely because this place is actually what was left after the volcanic eruption in ancient times.

Those towering ancient trees were dissolved into fossils in an instant.

Only one undead insect escaped the catastrophe.

Countless years later, this place was discovered by those mandrills, who used the cave as their residence.

 It's just that the undead insects spend most of their time sleeping.

There is no competition with it.

Unlike the old ape, the mountain scorpion and the six-winged centipede, they themselves are well water and do not interfere with the river water.

The ancestors of the Yi people who came to Zhelong Mountain discovered mandrills and thought they were mountain gods. They built temples, shaped statues, and offered sacrifices to mountain gods. The incense continued.

 And the aura that Chen Yulou noticed from the bones before.

actually…

 It is the smell of incense.

Since ancient times, in order to seek the secret of immortality, people have robbed the tombs of gods, fished for pearls, holy infant elixirs, skeletal figurines, elixirs, mermaid meat, incense to become gods, and seven stars to extend life.

 Scheming heretics, evil practices, and unscrupulous tactics.

 The method of incense becoming a **** is not unreasonable.

The old raccoon head of the ancient raccoon stele used the magic of round light to transform into the white old lady. She lived majestically in the temple, received incense from the common people's foolish women, and devoured human blood.

 That is not the case.

 With its weak roots.

Thinking about becoming a demon, avoiding the secrets of heaven, and living for hundreds of years is simply a daydream.

 “Maybe it’s some kind of alien species.”

 Shaked his head.

Chen Yulou dispersed his thoughts and explained vaguely.

Volcanic eruptions cannot be described as ancient.

  At least it is measured in ten thousand years.

He can speak clearly, but they may not be able to understand.

 “Lord, master…”

Seeing that the group finally ended their conversation, Yuan Hong licked his lips and pointed at the mandrill bones carefully.

 Looking forward to two words.

 It just needs to be written on the surface.

How could Chen Yulou not understand its little thoughts?

Yuan Hong is really the most suitable person for this mandrill skeleton.

 One is a genus of apes.

 If you swallow it, you may have a chance to awaken the ancestral blood like the Angry Chicken.

 Another one, the scent of incense hidden in it.

 For those of them who are either practicing Taoism or cultivating immortality, it is not only useless, it can even be said to be arsenic poison.

 “Okay, my mouth is almost watering.”

 “Take it away.”

Chen Yulou shook his head and cursed with a smile.

 “Yes…Thank you master for the reward!”

Yuan Hong, who was still worried at first, felt like two lights were lit in his eyes when he heard these words.

He looked so excited that he almost bowed down again.

 “Use that piece of skin to collect it.”

 See it and get started.

 After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yulou reminded him.

I won’t say whether Xian Wang’s methods are evil or not, but they are effective.

 Especially that undead insect.

Although he had been killed, it was still a little hard for him to imagine.

More than two thousand years ago, how did a group of people who drank blood like hair and blood manage to control it?

 Golden mask and dragon scale demon armor.

 Obviously it is the means to contain it.

More than two thousand years later, the moment they see an undead insect today, some employees can’t help but have the urge to worship them.

　　What’s more, that was the barbarian era.

 Since ancient times, people have always given titles to unknown and transcendent existences such as gods, spirits, demons, and ghosts.

 This is something engraved in the bones.

 Easily indelible.

 But Xian Wang did it.

They even trapped the undead insects in the cave for two thousand years and did not dare to cross the thunder pond.

If I hadn't fished it out with a toad before, I'm afraid it wouldn't have left easily.

"Oh yes."

Yuan Hong did not dare to hesitate at all.

 Immediately grabbed the skin bag engraved with the soul-killing talisman and carefully put away the three bones.

There are also animal teeth and jade bis.

According to the owner, they are all magical weapons of the mountain god.

 Feel the heaviness.

His hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

With these mandrill bones, it is at least 60 to 70% sure that it can reach heights that it could not even imagine before.

Not to mention that in the past few days, he has also been making progress in the practice of Xuan Dao foundation building skills.

"Yuan Hong, sooner or later I will be able to live up to the high expectations of my master!"

 Because of this name, Yuan Hong flipped through the book and vaguely noticed something.

 “Brother Chen, there is a hidden grid here.”

 Hua Ling and Miss Hong had reached the other side of the ancient bronze box at some point.

 Chen Yulou was shocked.

For the first time, a touch of uncontrollable excitement appeared in those calm and calm eyes.

 The hand holding the wind lantern was so hard that all the meridians on the back of the hand were clearly visible.

"coming…"

Without any delay, he quickly approached.

 The wind lantern stretched forward.

 Under firelight.

 A ray of light as bright as jade was immediately refracted.

“Well, why does it feel like a jade fetus?”
