Chapter 1062: The Disappearing Disciple
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? For this forbidden area, Ye Zan did not have much expectations. After all, the early exploration of the detection robot did not find too much Surprise stuff. Those collections or elixir, honestly speaking, it is impossible to have too high value, even if there is really any magic elixir, there will be nothing left after so many years.
However, after entering the forbidden area in person, the strange scene in the forbidden area immediately made Ye Zan more interested in it. The thick fog is not a simple thick fog, and the obsession is not an ordinary obsession. The whereabouts of the ascetics in the entire sect dojo seems to be a question worth exploring.
When others explore the secret realm, it is thrilling at every turn, and if they do not do well, they will fall into the danger of narrow escape. But compared to other people's exploration of the secret realm, Ye Zan has a lot of convenience, not only has many means, but also the Daoyuan Supreme, the great power, is by his side. With the current situation in this world, he basically has nothing to be afraid of, even if there are some methods left by the ancient earth immortals.
Of course, this does not mean that this forbidden area is 100% safe for Ye Zan, and there is nothing absolutely safe in the world. Even if, judging from the formation of this sect hall, it seems that there is no real killing formation, but it is not really no threat.
You know, for such a sect, it is not known whether it was withdrawn in such a hurry or not, there must be a reason for all this. Perhaps, this sect itself is not a threat, but the reason why this sect has become like this is probably not something easy to deal with.
"Senior, let's just take a look at it casually." Ye Zan communicated with Dao Yuan Supreme, and waved to remove the formation in the hall, releasing the trapped spider robot and insect soldiers.
Although Ye Zan is not a master of formations, at least he has a certain understanding of formations and has a strong calculation ability. At the same time, this formation has been here for an unknown number of years, and its own power has already been worn down. It is not so difficult to break it.
"Well, but it's better not to separate the two of us." Dao Yuan Zhizun nodded and suggested to Ye Zan at the same time.
The main "task" of Daoyuan Supreme is to ensure Ye Zan's safety. Although he is curious about this forbidden area, he is not really desperate. To him, no matter what rare treasures there are in this forbidden area, they are nothing compared to Ye Zan's significance to this great wilderness, or the lifelike spirit and firearms in Ye Zan's hands.
After unlocking the formation in the main hall, Ye Zan and Dao Yuan Zhizun stepped into the main hall, looking at everything around them casually. In fact, there is really nothing in this hall, except some furniture such as tables, chairs and benches, and in the center are calligraphy and painting scrolls that have already turned ashes.
"Here, there is indeed nothing intact left, even the formation arrangement is useless." Ye Zan said to Dao Yuan Supreme, while pointing at the pillars around the hall. , swung out Ruyi Variety that turned into several tentacles.
The tentacle-like wishful change, in a blink of an eye, several things used to arrange the formation were removed from the top of several pillars in the main hall and the top of the beam in the middle. These few things should be regarded as some kind of natural treasures, they are all fist-sized beads or stones, and they contain the power of the five elements. But now, most of the power inside has dissipated, and some traces of decay can be seen from the outside.
"After all, if you count from the time when the heaven and the earth collapsed, I'm afraid it will be tens of thousands of years ago. For such a long time, these things can still be preserved until now. I'm afraid they were rare treasures at the beginning." After checking the few items that Ye Zan handed over, I held them in my hand and looked at them, then handed them back to Ye Zan.
"However, it can be seen from this that those ghosts are only interested in spirit stones, otherwise these few things should be able to draw them out, or they should be guarded by them all the time." Seeing that Daoyuan Supreme is not interested, Ye Zan Then he received those few things in the Qiankun Ring.
Just like what Ye Zan said, although the value of these few items is no longer high, it at least illustrates a problem. That is, those strange shadows in the dense fog are really only interested in Lingshi, otherwise there should be more strange shadows pounced out now.
That's right, even those strange shadows only wanted to get the spirit stone, but in fact they couldn't absorb the slightest bit of spirit energy. In other words, even if these few things are equally attractive to them, they are also unlikely to get anything from them.
However, Ye Zan held a few things in his hands, but the thick fog around him remained silent.
After passing the main hall, Ye Zan and Dao Yuan Zhizun looked around the side halls on the left and right again, and found nothing special. In those side halls, there wasn't even a defensive formation, and they were turned upside down by spider robots and insect soldiers.
Afterwards, the two of them walked through the main hall in front, the middle hall, the back hall, and all the side halls. Not to mention valuable things, there are not even any corpses and bones, but I saw some decayed Taoist robes, and things like treasure bags, Qiankun rings and so on.
"These Taoist robes, as well as magic weapons and flying swords, shouldn't just be scattered everywhere like this. Looking at it now, it seems that these Taoist robes should have been worn on people, and those storage items The magical tools and treasures should be carried by people. However, these things are left behind, but the people are all gone, and even the slightest trace can't be seen, which is really weird." Dao Yuan Zhizun followed Ye Zan After walking around, I had a guess about such a scene.
In fact, Ye Zan has already thought of this point. After all, even if a person dies for tens of thousands of years, there will still be some traces left. Such traces may no longer be seen by the naked eye, but through scientific and technological detection methods, some clues should still be found.
But now, there is no trace of a corpse in the Taoist robes and magic tools scattered around.
And more importantly, there are some means of protection in this forbidden area, otherwise the building would have been turned into ashes under the erosion of time. Now, although the buildings are dilapidated and the furniture is rotten, at least they are still here, which means that even the corpses will not really decay to the point where there are no traces left.
So, where did those bodies go?
"Senior, wait a moment, come down and restore the scene at that time!" After Ye Zan said this, he took out Qianli Vividness, and projected a picture in this space filled with thick fog.
sho(pc_middle);
I saw that the projection screen showed the scene of one of the side halls, but there were some figures in the side hall that could not be seen in reality. Those figures, all wearing the Taoist robes of this sect, although they were all in strange poses at first, they quickly returned to their normal appearances as if they were going back in time.
"How does Fellow Daoist know about this?" Dao Yuan Zhizun couldn't help being curious again.
"It's nothing, just like what the seniors speculated before, I'm just speculating on the activities of the masters of the Taoist robes based on some known information." Ye Zan explained to Dao Yuan Zhizun while continuing The picture in the projection is evolving.
In fact, with Ye Zan's ability, there is no need to do this at all, and the guessing process can be completed directly in his mind. It's just that you have made a guess in your own mind, and then you have to explain it to Dao Yuan Zhizun, so it's better to let the other party watch the projection screen of the whole process.
As for such a picture that restores the scene at that time, it is all inversely deduced based on the way the Taoist robe and various belongings are scattered, combined with some parameters. Perhaps, this restoration may not be accurate, but it should be able to explain some problems, at least give Ye Zan a guessing direction.
In that picture, it can be seen that the disciples of this sect seem to be doing some normal activities during their lifetime. But suddenly, without knowing what happened, everyone disappeared without a trace, and the clothes and belongings on their bodies were scattered on the ground.
If those people reacted and struggled, then the way the clothes and belongings were scattered would definitely not be spread directly on the ground like they are now. At the very least, from the perspective of human life-saving instinct, even in the face of a threat that cannot be resisted at all, at least the gesture of fleeing is always done. However, those clothes and belongings are all in a state of natural falling, as if they lost their support all of a sudden.
"Fellow Daoist, although I don't know the rationale for your method of conjecture, but it seems that it is not far from the truth." After watching the projection, Dao Yuan Zhizun nodded in sympathy.
"That is to say, the disciples of this sect didn't have time to evacuate at all, no wonder there is no trace of moving here." Ye Zan was more inclined to this speculation in his heart.
"Could this sudden terror be related to this mist?" Dao Yuan Zhizun immediately guessed.
"Very likely, if this is the case, the source of the obsession in the mist can probably be found." Ye Zan nodded and said.
Of course, this is just a guess. After all, those obsessions are not all kinds of things, but only the extreme desire for spirit stones. The ascetics of this sect were at least unlikely to be so "love money" during their lifetime, and it is impossible for everyone to "love money" in the same way.
"It seems that we still need to find the source of this mist. Maybe there are some ancient wonders." Dao Yuan Zhizun also seemed very interested in this. Of course, he doesn't have any greed, but he just thinks that being able to crack such a forbidden area is a relatively fulfilling thing.
Moreover, the strength of Dao Yuan Supreme is already at the pinnacle of this world, and he doesn't think there is anything he can't handle. At least, he has enough confidence that in such an unknown place, he can protect Ye Zan's safety, so that Ye Zan won't fall here.
If it is speculated to be true, and the entire sect died in the mist, then the mist should be quite a terrifying existence. You must know that in this sect back then, it is very likely that there were Earth Immortal Dao Patriarchs sitting in the town, and there were also many ascetics in the Faxiang Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm. This kind of strength failed to keep the disciples of this sect under the mist, and they might even be buried in it.
However, it is not what it used to be, at least after Dao Yuan Zhizun and Ye Zan came in, they didn't feel the threat of the fog. The ghostly shadows in the mist did have some strength, but as long as they weren't tempted by the spirit stone, they didn't come out to do anything again. Maybe, after this long period of time, the source of the mist has also weakened, at least it is impossible to exceed the Tongtian level.
"I also have this intention, so Senior Lao will continue to accompany me for a while." Ye Zan nodded, and also didn't want to return without success.
However, exploration is exploration, no matter how confident Ye Zan is in his side, he will not make any careless mistakes. He knew very well in his heart that no matter how many means he had, he should be careful. After all, this was a forbidden area, and there were hidden dangers unknown.
"Fellow Daoist, you are being polite. This old man is just a puppet clone, and you will never let fellow daoist make any mistakes." Daoyuan Supreme said in a very affirmative tone.
Although he knew that the answer to everything seemed to lie in the source of the mist, Ye Zan was not in a hurry to pursue only this line. He continued to command the spider robot and insect soldiers, and moved all the things that seemed to be of some value from the various buildings in the dojo to his front.
Don't care about the value of these things, such as classics or elixir, but even garbage has a use for garbage. The classics can let Ye Zan understand some ancient things, and the elixir can reverse some ancient elixir recipes, which can actually be discovered to a certain value.
It didn't take long for Ye Zan to search the ashram almost completely, just like a professional housekeeping service. After putting everything away, the only problem left was the source of the fog. Ye Zan also gave new instructions to the spider robot and bug soldiers to dig three feet into the ground to find clues.
Before, the spider robot and the insect soldiers collected things from various places, and in fact they also explored all places. However, during this process, nothing special was found, and it was impossible to find where the fog came from.
Therefore, Ye Zan had a suspicion that every sect would have some secret places, maybe the senior officials of this sect were doing some research behind the backs of their disciples. It's like in some film and television works in the world of science and technology, a technology company or the military of a country conducts secret research, and as a result, something goes wrong unexpectedly, which brings huge disasters to ordinary people who don't know it.
In this world, such things are not uncommon. Ascetics are all pursuing a higher realm. If there is something special related to the Dao, it is really possible to study it desperately. It is not uncommon for some people who study super spells to overturn the dojo inadvertently, or study some magical medicine, and the poisonous gas spreads as a result.
