Mortal Seeking Immortal

When Ye Zhou's figure disappeared into the passage, the look of helplessness on the face of the monk sitting behind the stone table disappeared. He looked at the monk surnamed Feng and said: "Brother Feng, why did you bother to win over this person so much? "

The monk surnamed Feng said calmly: "Brother Shi, this man's spiritual consciousness is powerful, and his attainments in alchemy must be above mine. I just want to make friends with him, that's all."

The monk surnamed Shi heard this and said: "Brother Feng, you and I have known each other for many years. How can I still not know what kind of person you are? If you don't want to tell me, forget it."

The monk surnamed Feng shook his head and said: "It seems that I really can't hide it from you. You also know that I am looking for the inner elixir of the seven-winged fire crystal salamander. The seven-winged fire crystal salamander is cautious by nature and is very good at concealing its aura. Without a god, I can't catch the seven-winged fire crystal salamander even though I have a strong sense of cultivating my fellow monks."

The monk surnamed Shi frowned and said: "Brother Feng, I remember that the spiritual consciousness of Brother Ximen who traveled with you last time was very powerful, and you have known each other for several years, so you can trust each other. Why not go with him this time, and instead find a monk you just met? "

The monk surnamed Feng's face darkened, and there was a look of sadness in his eyes: "Brother Ximen has passed away."

When the monk surnamed Shi heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he stood up from behind the stone table with a groan: "What?! Brother Ximen died?! When did this happen? How could I not know?"

The monk surnamed Feng said: "Brother Ximen died in the beast wave we encountered. To be honest, if Brother Ximen had not died, I would not have approached Ye Zhou."

The monk surnamed Shi nodded, but his eyes darkened. What the monk surnamed Feng said just now was somewhat inconsistent. They had obviously avoided the beast tide, so why did the monk Ximen die in the beast tide again? The monk surnamed Shi had noticed that there was doubt about the cause of monk Ximen's death, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he talked about other things with the monk surnamed Feng.

After the two chatted for a while, the monk surnamed Feng said that he had something to do and said goodbye to the monk surnamed Shi. At the same time, he asked the monk surnamed Shi to inform Ye Zhou immediately as soon as he came out of the library. The monk surnamed Shi naturally agreed.

After passing through the passage, Ye Zhou entered a hall with hundreds of bookshelves. The bookshelves were densely packed with various jade slips. Some monks stood under the bookshelves to look at the contents of the jade slips attentively, or looked at the contents of the jade slips in the hall. Quickly travel through the middle, looking for the jade slips.

Ye Zhou took a quick look and found that the bookshelves placed here were simply marked with numbers, and did not indicate the type of jade slips placed on them. To find the jade slips recording information about monsters and insects from here would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. .

Fortunately, the monk surnamed Feng gave him a jade token to help him find a collection of books, which could save him a lot of time. Although Ye Zhou knew that the monk surnamed Feng must have some intentions towards him, Ye Zhou could not refuse him at the moment. of kindness.

Taking out the jade tablet, Ye Zhou followed the method taught to him by the monk surnamed Feng, and used his spiritual power to write the word "demon insect" on the jade tablet. A faint yellow light suddenly appeared on the jade tablet, and the yellow light gathered on the jade tablet. The shape of an arrow guides Ye Zhou's direction.

Ye Zhou followed the instructions on the jade plate and quickly arrived in front of the bookshelf No. 78 on the first floor of the library. The arrow on the jade plate flashed and turned into a few lines of small characters: Volume 5, Volume 52 on the second floor. Volume, Volume 63, Volume 18, Volume 43 on the third floor, Volume 64, Volume 82 on the fifth floor, Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume 20 on the sixth floor Six volumes.

Unexpectedly, there were ten jade slips related to monsters and insects placed on this bookshelf. Ye Zhou couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy in his eyes. He hurriedly put away the jade tablets, took off the jade slips, released his consciousness, and began to carefully examine the items inside the jade slips. content.

After some investigation, it was found that none of the information on monsters and insects recorded in these ten jade slips was what Ye Zhou was looking for. Ye Zhou calmly followed the instructions on the jade tablets and walked to the next bookshelf.

As Ye Zhou shuttled between the bookshelves in the library, time passed quickly. Four hours passed quickly, and Ye Zhou still found nothing.

Ye Zhou withdrew his consciousness, sighed slightly, put the jade slip in his hand back on the bookshelf, and looked at the jade plaque in his hand. According to the jade plaque, there was only the last jade slip left on the bookshelf.

Ye Zhou glanced at the jade slip placed in the corner of the bookshelf, which was obviously stained with dust. He stretched his muscles, reached out to hold the jade slip in his hand, and used his spiritual consciousness to penetrate it.

A quarter of an hour later, when Ye Zhou saw a piece of content inside the jade slip, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"There are monsters in the sea called spiritual sea leeches. They often attach themselves to monsters in the deep sea and make a living by sucking the spiritual power from the monsters' bodies. The spiritual sea leech can only attach to one monster in its life, and they live together with the monster. Death, because the spiritual sea leech is good at concealing its body, most of the parasitized monsters cannot detect it. "

Ye Zhou carefully read all the contents about the spiritual sea leech in this jade slip. After reading to the end, there was also a portrait of the spiritual sea leech attached to the jade slip, which was similar to the one that Ye Zhou had seen in the body of the head of the Xu family. The appearance of 'Black Air' is very similar.

Ye Zhou put down the jade slip and frowned slightly. According to the records in the jade slip, spiritual sea leeches can only be parasitic on monsters in the deep sea and have never parasitized on land monks.

In addition, in order to prevent the death of the host, there will be no more than ten spiritual sea leeches parasitic on a monster beast. Moreover, the spiritual sea leeches sucked from the monster beast at one time are very small, and after sucking once, they will fall asleep for at least half of the time. Months later, it will take another sip to prevent the monster from being drained of its spiritual power.

Ye Zhou found that there were obviously more than ten spiritual sea leeches parasitic on the head of the Xu family. In addition to sucking the spiritual power from the head of the Xu family, these spiritual sea leeches also sucked the vitality from his body, and the sucking time also lasted half a year. The month is shortened to every day, and it completely ignores the life and death of the host, which is somewhat different from the spiritual sea leeches recorded in the jade slip.

The jade slip also included a method for cultivators to identify whether they were parasitized by the Spirit Sea Leech. This method was very simple and effective. Ye Zhou silently memorized this method in his heart and decided to try it on the head of the Xu family tomorrow.

Putting down the jade slip in his hand, Ye Zhou continued to look for other jade slips with information about the monster insects in the library, but found nothing. Seeing that the sand in the silver hourglass on the jade card was almost gone, Ye Zhou turned around and left the library. He came to the room and returned the two jade cards to the monk surnamed Shi.

When Ye Zhou left the library, the monk surnamed Feng had already received the news from the monk surnamed Shi and was waiting outside the library.

Seeing Ye Zhou coming out, the monk surnamed Feng came up to him with a smile: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye has gained anything?"

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "I have gained something. Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Feng."

The monk surnamed Feng said: "It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning. Then I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Ye in advance. If Fellow Daoist Ye can cure the strange disease of the head of the Xu family, not only will the Xu family reward you heavily, but even the Mu family will not treat Fellow Daoist Ye unfairly."
