Pagoda Immortality

"Father, great-grandfather..."

The head of the family, Zhong Yunsong, withdrew his gaze from the numerous corpses and looked at Zhong Changyi beside him and asked.

"I have sent people to Sihaimen, but it is too far away, and I am afraid they can't get here so quickly... Didn't I ask Yuncheng to notify you to find the city lord last night? Didn't you receive the news?" Zhong Changyi said helplessly and asked again.

Zhong Yunsong buried his head and said: "I didn't receive any message. I guess my second brother and others were killed before they could send a message..."

Hearing this, Zhong Changyi couldn't help but clench his fists again: "Taiyuanmen! Taiyuanmen! It must be someone from Taiyuanmen. The Zhong family has lost dozens of lives. We will not let this hatred go!"

......

Sihai Prefecture is one of the ten prefectures of Nanming.

The geographical location is in the south of the central part of Nanming, with a radius of no less than one million miles. It is considered a smaller existence among the ten prefectures, because the power it controls is Sihaimen.

There are many cities in Sihai Prefecture, but only three are famous, namely Wan'an City in the east, Sihai City in the middle, and Siping City in the west.

About 100,000 miles west of Siping City is Ziyang Mountain, which is known as a deserted place.

Beyond Ziyang Mountain, it belongs to the territory of Zhengqi Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhengqimen, one of the six second-rate forces in Nanming Territory.

In the evening of this day.

A handsome young man in white, under the loud urging of the city guards, mixed in the crowded crowd and walked quickly into Siping City.

As soon as everyone entered the city, the huge city gate several feet high was closed with a bang.

"Brother, what's going on? It's still early, why is the city gate closed?" Lu Li looked back in astonishment at the direction of the city gate, and then turned back to look at the sturdy young man beside him and asked puzzledly.

The sturdy young man was walking forward with his head down. He slowed down his pace after hearing this and looked at Lu Li in surprise: "Is this your first time here?"

"That's right."

"Oh, that's no wonder. Let me tell you, our Siping City is different from other cities. Those cities basically close at midnight, but it's different here. We have to close as soon as it gets dark."

"Why is that?"

"Why? Because of the Moyun Cave in the south. It is said that there are taboo things there. They will come out to harm people at night. Since last year, people in our Siping City have died tragically at home every few days. After an investigation by the City Lord's Mansion, it is said that evil spirits ran out of the Moyun Cave and sucked away the yang energy of these people, and then... the closing time of Siping City has changed."

"Evil spirits?"

"It's a ghost?! You haven't even heard of ghosts?"

"Ghosts? Are there really ghosts in this world?" Lu Li said in disbelief.

"How can there be no such thing? I saw my grandfather when I was a child... Eh?! You, why am I telling you this?" The strong man was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered that he didn't know Lu Li. He couldn't help but stare at him, and then turned his head and walked away.

Lu Li stood there speechless, stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.

He actually didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world.

According to Lu Li's understanding, the so-called ghosts and monsters in the world can actually be divided into two types. One is the heavenly soul that accidentally survived in the extremely yin land, which is called the Yin spirit.

The Yin spirit has no memory. In addition to the natural instinct to devour living souls, it has no thoughts of its own, and its attack form is also very simple.

The second type is the earth soul.

After a person dies, because of the rules of heaven and earth, the earth soul will immediately be pulled into reincarnation. It is said that it will go to the underworld, but whether there is such a place as the underworld is unknown.

Because the earth soul carries a person's lifelong memory, if it escapes the rules of heaven and earth and stays in the human world, it will be much more terrifying than the Yin spirit.

Especially the earth soul after the death of the cultivator, it will be a nightmare for mortals or low-level cultivators.

And this kind of thing is a real ghost.

Lu Li does not believe that there are ghosts in the world, mainly because he thinks that the rules of heaven and earth will not allow the earth soul to stay in the world for a long time. After all, this has already involved the order of reincarnation.

In his understanding, people mostly mistake the Yin spirit for a ghost and scare themselves.

Although Siping City is one of the three major cities in Sihai Prefecture, it is not as large as Sihai City in terms of scale. Lu Li saw a particularly prominent golden building not far away.

When he got closer, it was indeed the location of the branch of the Dongling Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Li did not look for any person in charge this time. He directly found a salesperson to ask, and then easily bought the purple spirit sand he wanted, and then left the Chamber of Commerce.

He didn't want to stay in Siping City, but the city gate was closed at this time, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he just found an inconspicuous inn and stayed there.

At night, Lu Li was sleeping on the surface, but he was actually testing the long sword in the Hall of Time.

He threw the long sword in front of him, and then flicked his finger. In an instant, a large ball of bright yellow flames wrapped the long sword. Under Lu Li's control, the temperature of the flames became higher and higher.

And the snow-white long sword began to gradually turn red.

About two quarters of an hour, the sword finally couldn't hold on and showed signs of melting. The runes on it also began to crackle. At this time, Lu Li's forehead was already sweating.

To make him so exhausted, the material must be at least the fifth grade.

After another quarter of an hour, the original snow-colored long sword finally melted completely and turned into a bowl-sized ball of red essence.

Seeing this, Lu Li grabbed the purple jade bottle on the ground and it flew up. Then, he aimed the bottle mouth at the red essence and shook it hard, and a large piece of purple fine sand with a flashing spiritual light flew out of the bottle in an instant.

Under Lu Li's control, the fine sand was accurately wrapped on the red essence.

Then, something amazing happened.

As soon as the purple spirit sand touched the surface of the essence, the red essence seemed to be summoned by something and began to roll and wriggle. After a while, all the purple spirit sand was submerged in it.

"It's true!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Li was overjoyed, and then he did the same thing again, wrapping some of the purple spirit sand in the jade bottle towards the essence.

As expected, after another period of wriggling, all the purple spirit sand was swallowed up by the essence.

But if you look closely, you will find that many rice-sized beads have formed in this essence, which looks very strange.

Lu Li did not stop there, but repeated this process four or five times until the essence stopped moving.

Then he slapped the bulging essence with his palm.

Suddenly, with a crash, a large number of snow-white beads fell to the ground, and at the same time, there were bursts of cold air rolling up!

"Great!"

Seeing these snow-white beads, Lu Li was suddenly surprised. This was the Soul-crossing Cold Iron he wanted, which was the main material for making the Body Pattern Spirit Pen...
