Chapter 1304 Discovery

It was just the fourth day after Shen Hao arrived in the city of death in vain. Waking up early in the morning, Shen Hao could clearly feel that the inexplicable miasma around him suddenly decreased a lot compared to yesterday.

I wondered in my heart, could it be that the day when the underground palace will be opened is finally approaching?

In the past few days, Shen Hao has seen the uncertainty of the underground palace in the city of death. Even if the poisonous miasma is on the ground, it can feel the ups and downs are extremely unstable, but fortunately, the fluctuations are not large. According to Yang Ming, we have to wait. When the poisonous miasma drops sharply one day, it will be turned on. up.

There is no way to be precise, it has always been like this, just like the mystery of the underground palace of the dead city itself, no one can predict it accurately.

However, before Shen Hao went to Yang Ming to ask if the day was approaching, he ran into the Fourth Elder Cheng Canghai on the way, and learned that it was not yet time. Generally, it would take two to three days for the poisonous miasma to descend rapidly before it finally stabilized and became the lowest. At that time, it is the best window to enter the underground palace.

Being wasted time, Shen Hao seemed inexplicably agitated. It is rare for him to be idle like this. In the past, even Xiu Mu would find something to do, but now he is really free.

In this way, Shen Hao also deeply realized the difference between himself and ordinary cultivators. For the general monks, or the monks in the camp, it is common to practice or meditate for ten and a half months, and they will not feel bored or wasted at all, and even feel that this is worthy of the passage of time. Practice quietly.

On the other hand, Shen Hao, he has long been used to the "homework" at a fixed time and a fixed time every night. This is the best practice rhythm he arranged according to his own situation. The speed of practice is too fast to cause suspicion or affect the daily official time.

So after Shen Hao finishes his homework every day, he sees that there is still a lot of time to spare, so he can only dance swords and swords over and over again in the tent, and by the way, express the feelings about time in his mind and the sword intent after Jian San It's difficult to calm down after taking out the moves, after all, the environment here is not quiet, and there are many worries.

After a brief chat with Cheng Canghai, Shen Hao returned to his tent. He just sat down cross-legged and was about to meditate when he suddenly felt a thousand-mile note trembling slightly in his chest.

This is a new thousand-mile note, which was exchanged between Shen Hao and Tan Bin, the spy in charge here, after arriving in the city of death.

Feeling refreshed, a smile appeared on Shen Hao's face, secretly thinking that he had something to do.

"Huh? Sure enough, there is a problem!"

Shen Hao was overjoyed after seeing the message on the thousand-mile note. His previous guess was correct, and after letting Tan Bin go down, he carefully checked all aspects of Zhengyangzong, and he really got something.

It is impossible to transmit a thousand miles of notes, and the information that this thing can transmit is limited, so the information that Tan Bin transmits is actually the result of his own analysis and selection after investigation.

According to Qianli Note, Tan Bin asked his spies to check all the information about Zhengyangzong that could be found through external channels in the past few months, including every detail, even the amount of daily excrement. After summarizing the results, I pulled it through, and I really found something strange.

It stands to reason that Zhengyangzong has recently had hundreds of people returning from outside the city of Wushi to enter the sect, and there should be obvious changes in eating, drinking and drinking. Not everyone likes "dan food". It is the habit of almost everyone to eat regularly when it is not necessary.

But in fact, the food that Zhengyangzong bought during this period, as well as the amount of daily manure, have hardly changed.

Those one hundred or so people didn't eat, drink or even pull after they went in? is it possible? Normally it is impossible. Unless. These people are in a situation where they don't need to eat and drink. It can be in a closed state, or it can be dead.

Shen Hao can be regarded as a monk with a high level of cultivation. His longest practice state of ecstasy lasted less than ten days. If he wanted to stay like this for a month or two, he couldn't imagine what kind of cultivation state it would be anyway.

Combined with the current predicament Zhengyangzong is facing, Shen Hao is more inclined to the latter possibility: those hundreds of people who entered Zhengyangzong's sect are all dead.

Death also explains why there are more than a hundred people in Zhengyangzong, but nothing has changed.

As for why these people all died, Shen Hao couldn't be sure for the time being, but he had a guess in his heart, and he was very confident in this guess.

In the past, boys and girls were taken captive from the Jingjiu Dynasty, but after Shen Hao blocked the route of the Jingjiu Dynasty captives, he turned his head and aimed at the barbarian land. Unfortunately, the barbarian land was shattered in the last battle. Let alone boys and girls, it is not easy to see a living barbarian. You have to go deep into the hinterland, and the difficulty of finding it in the area where the barbarians are actually entrenched is undoubtedly multiplied.

According to the information provided by Tan Bin before, Zhengyangzong was already jumping in a hurry, and the price had increased several times, but still could not be satisfied. This means that "the blood and soul of boys and girls" is urgently needed and necessary for Zhengyangzong, so they are anxious. And now what should they do when they see that the shortage of boys and girls cannot be solved in a short time?

If Shen Hao thinks differently, it is to find a substitute as soon as possible.

And those one hundred people who rushed back to Zhengyangzong in a hurry, in Shen Hao's view, should be the substitutes Zhengyangzong found when they had no other way to die instead of those boys and girls.

However, guesses are just guesses after all, and there is no way to draw a conclusion. Further verification is needed. This requires Tan Bin to work harder.

I returned a copy of the Thousand Miles Notes to Tan Bin, which asked Tan Bin to focus on investigating the fake cultivators who entered the city of death in vain, and think of ways to find out how to determine the lives and deaths of those people, or if possible, whether they can It would be best to have the in-depth spying before the re-enactment.

After Shen Hao sent out the reply to Tan Bin, his brows never relaxed. Because once his guess is true, then there will be a very weird and thought-provoking question: first, why Zhengyangzong would use "comrades" as a substitute to get blood and soul for both evil monks; , Why can pseudo-evil monks replace boys and girls for Zhengyangzong, but other monks can't?

These two points made Shen Hao feel inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

Because there is no need to do more deduction, what is the difference between a pseudo-evil monk and an ordinary monk? How did they become false cultivators? As long as it is so simple, it seems that the answer can be seen.

Barrier Breaking Pill!

Ordinary monks have never eaten the barrier-breaking pill. The pseudo-evil cultivators almost all embarked on this path after relying on the Breaking Barrier Pill to stimulate their talents.

Then Shen Hao has been struggling with the price of the anti-heavenly effect of the Breaking Barrier Pill. Could it be this?
