Chapter 210 Inference on the Corpse

Everyone knew that this kind of ghostly energy was harmful to the human body. They all looked solemn and opened their protective shields to prevent the mist from getting on them.

After walking along the bluestone road for about a cup of tea, we arrived at the square in the middle of the inner valley.

The square covers an area of ​​twenty acres. There are two rows of stone statues in the center. Each stone statue is five feet high and majestic, which shows the magnificence of Jinque Sect as a large sect back then.

However, time has passed and the Jinque Sect, which was so powerful back then, has long since disappeared. These tall and majestic stone sculptures have also been destroyed by the wind and rain, leaving only broken arms and broken bodies.

Everyone was walking in the spacious square, and there was silence everywhere, adding a bit of depression.

Suddenly Yuan Shenti, who was at the front, sniffed and said, "Hey! It smells like blood!"

He swayed and ran eastward, followed closely by the others.

When they reached the wall of a house on the east side, everyone glanced at it and took a deep breath.

Dozens of corpses were lying on the cold stone floor, all of them human monks.

These monks died in extremely miserable conditions, with their heads and limbs severed, and some were even cut into pieces. The stone slabs were stained with blood. Some of the monks had their eyes wide open after death, full of horror.

There was a thick smell of blood in the air, mixed with an inexplicable stench, which was nauseating.

Four Jindan monks conducted a careful inspection underground. Over the course of a meal, the four of them gathered together to discuss secretly through messages. Yuan Shen asked, "What did the three of you see?"

Mr. Xi Da shook his head, "There are no disciples from our Immortality Sect, nor are there any disciples from your two sects."

Fang Li said "Hmm", "I recognize the clothes of these people. They come from three small sects in Zhongshan Kingdom. Although they are dead, I can see that they are all just Qi Refining disciples."

Mr. Xi Da said, "Judging from the wounds, they did not die from magic weapons, but were bitten to death by evil beasts. It's just that I rarely deal with evil beasts. I don't know what specific evil beasts did it."

"It's the Horned Wolf!" It was Yuan Shen who spoke.

"How do you know this?"

Yuan Shen said, "The horned wolf has a ferocious temperament. It becomes furious when it smells the scent of a stranger. After biting its prey, it often tears the prey into pieces. You see, these corpses are in a state of disrepair, which is what the horned wolf always does. In addition, you see some There are bloody holes on the body, either in the lower abdomen or in the thighs, which are the wounds caused by the sharp horns of the horned wolf's forehead."

Mr. Xi Da praised, "Master Yuan looked carefully."

Yuan Shen saw that Liu Guyue was silent in thought, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Liu, do you have any other high opinions?" Liu Guyue shook her head, "No. I agree with the two fellow daoists who inferred that these Qi Refining disciples died at the hands of Horned Wolf. But besides that, I have two concerns.”

Yuan Shen said, "Oh? What are your concerns?"

Liu Guyue pointed at the stone slab, "Have you two seen that in addition to the corpses on the ground, the stone slab was also shattered, and it was broken into powder in some places. It can be imagined that the war was very tragic at that time. If it were a group of Qi Refining disciples, it seems that There is no such magical power.”

Mr. Xi Da said, "Yes, I think there were foundation-building monks on the human side at that time, and there might even be golden elixir monks."

Liu Guyue said, "If there are Jindan monks and foundation-building monks included, then how can a mere horned wolf cause such heavy losses to our human race? You know, horned wolves are very common in the underground palace, but they are just first-order monsters. In addition, There was a lot of blood stains on these dead bodies, but we didn’t find even one corpse at the scene, and the storage bags around the waists of these dead people were gone..."

Mr. Xi Da's eyes flashed, "That's true. It seems that the surviving monks on one side of the war also cleaned up the battlefield after driving away the Yin beasts, put all the corpses of the Yin beasts into their bags, and also plundered the storage bags of these dead people. gone."

Liu Guyue nodded, "Someone came to search. However, these people are definitely not the people who fought with the Yin Beast before, but should be another group of people."

Yuan Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, how can Fellow Daoist Liu make this conclusion?"

Liu Guyue said, "If they were the group of people who fought earlier, then the monks who died in the battle were all brothers and sisters of the same sect. Since we can clean the battlefield calmly and collect the remains of the Yin Beast, we must collect and incinerate the corpses of our fellow sects no matter what, so as not to let me Are the disciples exposing their corpses in the wilderness? Therefore, I guess, there are either a huge number of horned wolves, or there are other more powerful Yin beasts. In short, this group of monks is no match, and they suffered heavy casualties, leaving dozens of corpses behind. The people fled in a hurry, and the Yin Beasts naturally chased them away. After a while, the second group of people came here. They plundered the corpses of the Yin Beasts and the storage bags of the deceased, and then walked away. "

Mr. Xi Da stroked his beard and praised, "Fellow Daoist Liu has done a good job in discussing the matter. His review of the battle situation at that time is as vivid as one's eyes. I admire him! This is Brother Liu's first doubt, but what about the second one?"

Liu Guyue said, "Another question is: Yin beasts like yin and fear yang, and rarely come to the surface for activities. Especially this year is the ninth year of Yang, and the yang energy on the surface is at its strongest. Why do yin beasts come to the surface? Moreover, according to our Just now we analyzed that the ones running up were not just one or two."

Mr. Xi Da said, "Then what could be the reason, according to fellow Taoist Yi Liu?" Liu Guyue said, "In my humble opinion, Ruoyi thinks there has been a change in the underground palace, and a more powerful guy has come out. Originally in the underground palace, The active low-level Yin beasts were driven to the ground."

Yuan Shen stroked his palms and smiled and said, "That's right! Heluo Tower is built of Qianyang spirit jade, which is naturally capable of restraining ghost and Yin energy. And I heard that the tower spirit white ape has an active nature. Once it appears in the world, He just likes to chase the Yin beasts everywhere. He must have stirred up the Yin beasts and chased them up."

Mr. Xi Da also smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu deduced so many things at once from this messy battlefield. He is truly worthy of the name of a think tank. Since the White Ape is active in the underground palace, should we discuss how to act next?"

After a while, the four people had finished their discussion.

As he walked back, Fang Li couldn't help but send a message, "Second senior brother, you are very knowledgeable, and I admire you very much. But these inferences are related to the whereabouts of Heluo Tower, why should senior brother tell them?"

Liu Guyue replied, "If Heluo Tower was easily accessible, I would naturally not tell them everything. But right now, there are already so many Yin beasts on the surface of the earth, not to mention the underground palace. The Eighth Elder also sent a message saying that the attack What hurt the white ape was a group of transformed demon cultivators who joined forces. It's not something you and I can handle with so many transformed beasts, not to mention there is a Ghost Clothes Sect hiding in the dark. It would be advantageous to join forces at this time. , separation is harmful, we don’t want to be too mother-in-law,”

Fang Lidao said, "Senior Brother is right, but I am wrong. Senior Brother just mentioned the Eighth Elder. I wonder if there is any news about the Third Senior Brother and the Eighth Elder?"

"No, there is still no response from the Dharma Disk."

Fang Lidao, "I wonder if the Eternal Life Sect and the Vajra Sect have contacted their vanguard?"

Liu Guyue shook her head, "It's hard to ask. If I ask someone, they won't tell the truth. But I guess not."

Wan Feng, Shi Feng and others gathered together and were whispering. The disciples were all frightened after seeing so many corpses. The original excitement of treasure hunting suddenly subsided.

While they were discussing, Liu Guyue came over and waved, "Come here."

All the disciples hurriedly gathered around. Fang Lidao said, "We have just discussed that the three families are planning to join forces to enter the valley. But this year the Yin beasts are particularly rampant, so we can only go down with the Foundation Establishment disciples. Your cultivation level is too low, so there is no need to go down. Wan Feng, you are leading ten disciples here. Stay in the square. If there is no news from me and the second elder at this time tomorrow, you can lead all the disciples back to the sect."

Wan Feng bowed and said, "Yes, disciple, I obey." He heard that he could not follow the two elders down, but had to stay and take care of these losers, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

The other disciples were disappointed and scared when they heard that the two masters had left them alone.

Fang Li was a well-known good man in the sect. Seeing the expressions of all the disciples, he couldn't bear it and said, "There are many white pulp trees growing around the square. This kind of tree grows in cold and cold places, and its branches are as hard as iron." , is an excellent material for refining magic weapons, and even more rare is that its fruit can extract the 'Nine Rhymes White Pulp', which is a material for making top-quality talisman paper. If you are willing, you can collect some branches of the white pulp tree. The stems and fruits are not worth the trip.”

At the same time, Mr. Xi Da and Yuan Shen also discussed with their disciples. After a while, the three groups reunited and continued walking inside.

Yuan Shen led seven foundation-building monks, and Mr. Xi Da’s four major disciples were also foundation-building monks. Although the girl Yun’er was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, she was a close relative of Mr. Xi Da, so she was naturally attracted by Mr. Xi Da. Take it with you.

Therefore, the only people left in the square were Wan Feng and eleven others.

When Liu Fang and the two walked away, Wan Feng turned around and said, "You have heard the instructions of the two masters. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. You will return to the sect at this time tomorrow."

Guo Yang was puzzled, "Uncle Wan, since our master doesn't take us to the underground palace to practice, he just ordered us to go back. Why do we have to stay here for one day?"

Wan Feng said angrily, "Who am I asking?! Okay, this place is scary, let's find another place to meditate and rest."

When all the disciples saw the corpses on the ground, they were already worried. They were eager for this, so they swarmed to the west side of the square and sat down in front of a stone statue.

Wan Feng closed his eyes and rested his mind. Half an hour later, one of the disciples asked softly, "Uncle Wan, Master Fang once said before that there are some white pulp trees around the square, and let us pick white berries. I don't know what Uncle Master wants. ?”

It was Shi Feng who spoke.

Naturally, Shi Feng didn't really value the white berries. He just wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. As long as everyone picked the white berries separately, he would immediately disguise himself as a lurker, leave the Qingdi Valley, and fly away.

As for the sudden disappearance of Jiufu Sect's outer disciple "Shi Qi", it must have been an encounter with a Yin beast in the valley, and even the corpse was eaten.

As soon as Shi Feng said this, several other disciples also looked at Wan Feng longingly. These people were all Qi Refining disciples and were not rich. If you are lucky and pick a large number of white berries, it will be a windfall.

Wan Feng looked around and said, "Well, it's hard to come here. I'll give you half a day. Don't run too far, otherwise I won't be able to control anything if something happens."

All the disciples were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master Wan!" and stood up one after another.

Just when everyone was about to separate and walk away, someone suddenly heard someone shouting, "Is that the Taoist Fellow of Jiufu Sect in front of you?!"

Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw a group of monks rushing towards them from the south of the square like a gust of wind and rain. They arrived in front of them in a moment.

There were twenty or thirty monks in this group, all tall, short, fat, and thin. They wore various costumes, but they all had a white ribbon around their waists. The leader was a bald man with an ugly appearance and a mid-stage foundation building cultivation.

Wan Feng recognized the visitor and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, are you Yan Guangyan, the protector of the Nine Leagues?" Shi Feng also recognized him. This Yan Guang co-hosted the Yuncheng auction with Zhang Fashan. What a coincidence, both of them are here today.

The big man laughed and said, "It's true that I am Yan Guang, but I am not a protector now, and our sect is no longer the Nine Alliance."

Wan Feng was stunned, "Did Fellow Daoist Yan find another job?"

Yan Guang shook his huge bald head, "No, no. It's just that half a month ago, we have joined the Sword Trial Villa. From that day on, we are no longer the Nine Alliance, but the Yuncheng Branch of the Sword Trial Villa. I am no longer the guardian of the Nine Alliance, but a hall master in the branch."

The Nine Alliance merged into the Sword Trial Villa? Wan Feng was confused for a moment, and said, "Oh, oh, then congratulations to Hall Master Yan. I wonder if Hall Master Yan called us to give us any advice?"

"No advice! You are from the Nine Talisman Sect, you are well-informed, and you came earlier than us. Can you tell me what's going on with the pile of corpses in the corner over there?"

When he spoke, more than 20 cultivators from the Yuncheng Branch of the Sword Trial Villa had scattered, vaguely surrounding the eleven people from the Nine Talisman Sect in the middle, with their hands on the storage bag on their waists.

Wan Feng glanced at the other side. In addition to Yan Guang and his cultivation level, the other side also had four cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and the remaining Qi training disciples were all at the eighth and ninth levels. In terms of strength, they completely crushed his side.

A good man never suffers a loss in front of him, so Wan Feng said politely, "We just arrived half an hour earlier than Fellow Daoist Wan. We also saw those corpses, but we don't know what happened."

"Oh? Didn't you kill those people?"

"Of course not."

"That's not right." Yan Guang's eyes turned, "I heard that two elders from your Jiufu Sect came in person. With their skills, killing those dozens of Qi Refining disciples is just a piece of cake!"

Wan Feng hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, you are joking! My Jiufu Sect is a famous and upright sect. How could we kill irrelevant cultivators indiscriminately?"

"Humph!" Someone on Yan Guang's side snorted coldly, "You Jin The four sects of Que have always claimed that the Green Emperor Valley is the remains of your ancestors, and they do not allow others to enter the valley to search for treasures. They are very overbearing. Wouldn't it be in your interest to kill other cultivators?"

Wan Feng waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Excellency is talking about the actions of the Ghost Clothes Sect. Before, there were indeed Ghost Clothes Sect cultivators guarding the entrance to prevent others from entering. Later, my Nine Talisman Sect arrived and joined the Vajra Sect and the Changsheng Sect to drive away the Ghost Clothes Sect cultivators. At that time, my three sects and all the cultivators present agreed that all human cultivators could enter the Green Emperor Valley to search for treasures and would not interfere with each other. "

When the cultivators at the Yuncheng branch heard that the three sects would not interfere with their entry into the Green Emperor Valley, they all felt relieved, and the tense atmosphere between the two sides was immediately eased.
