Chapter 408 Disaster
As soon as the word "sacrifice" came out, Xu Yuan instantly understood why the ghost would stay on Xia Qing's body.
Fengyin Tomb
Although Yin ghosts, monsters born from the corpses of all things and composed of soul power, cannot communicate, it does not mean that they cannot be used by humans.
As long as there is profit, those mad scientists in the previous movies are like younger brothers to the cultivators in this world, and the difference between immortals and mortals allows them to be more unscrupulous.
Under the accumulation of a huge base of human lives, and under the study of people with various talents, all kinds of intelligence and information about Yin ghosts were mastered by those in power, and many methods of using Yin ghosts were figured out.
From the various ghost techniques in the world of the sect to the huge formations of the Prime Minister's Mansion in later generations that extract the power of the ghosts to refine elixirs, they are all the results of the research on the ghosts.
Among them, the most time-consuming method is the method of feeding ghosts.
Yin ghosts will kill all living creatures indiscriminately. In addition to the various extreme negative emotions in their bodies that make them uncontrollable, they can also become stronger through the flesh, blood, and souls of various living creatures.
Through this basic behavioral logic, ancient cultivators naturally wanted to take advantage of this and start raising ghosts for their own use.
But history proves that they failed.
A crazy soul like Yin Gui can only be controlled for a short time at most, and there is always a risk of being backlashed.
However, despite the failure, the achievements of these "ancestors" in investigating objects have also allowed some small methods against ghosts to be passed down.
And the Yin Tomb in front of us is one of them.
A special spell is planted in the human body to attract ghosts, and the ghosts are lured into the body to eat the soul and flesh. Then the spell is detonated to turn the human body into a tomb, sealing the ghosts in it and capturing them alive.
Xia Qing was turned into a human tomb by Tian Yan and Tian Ye.
Thinking about it, the sound he heard with the help of the Lock of Tongsheng when he was about to die was Tianye's evil intention to tease Xia Qin before he was about to take action.
There was silence, and the golden talisman was dazzling.
Xu Yuan slowly closed his eyes and finally shook his head gently.
There is no sadness or sympathy, but there is sadness.
If the senior sword mad man could successfully assassinate Tian Ye, maybe he and Tian Yan could become friends in need with them to avoid being pursued by Jian Tian Pavilion and travel around the world together.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Xia Qing's life and death were actually determined the moment Tianye arrived.
It's just a pity that this beautiful aunt lived her whole life for the sect, but when she made up her mind to live for herself, she had no way of living.
Moreover, the moment Jian Kuang failed in his assassination and died, his trust in Xia Qing completely collapsed.
Even if Tian Yan and Tian Ye didn't take action, he would do it himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan was slightly startled, and then a smile with unknown meaning suddenly appeared on the corners of his lips.
He suddenly realized that as a modern man, he had become accustomed to depriving others of their lives without knowing it.
"Kekeke~"
The clear laughter interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts:
"You look so serious. You are so sentimental for someone who wants to kill you. You are such a sentimental person~"
Xu Yuan looked sideways.
Tian Ye leaned back, holding his hands behind his back, sitting on the boulder, staring at him lying on the ground with a smile:
"Xia Qing can do this, but I don't know if I will do it if I die."
"Won't."
After calming down, Xu Yuan interrupted the other party: "I won't blink even if you die. If possible, I even want to do it myself."
"It's so heartless. This time I brought you to the Yinhun Pond, which can be regarded as saving your life."
Tianye blinked his eyes and said, but smiled without caring at all: "Moreover, we are now connected by the chain of the same life. In a sense, our relationship is closer than the person next to you. ”
"Intimacy? But I hate crazy women."
"Because you hate crazy women because they won't be controlled by you?"
"You are very smart."
"If you are willing, brother Changtian"
"Tianye, you are twenty thousand years older than me."
"." Tianye's smile froze.
No longer paying attention to Tian Ye, although Xu Yuan still wanted to ask about the method of unlocking the lock of Tongsheng, but thinking of this enchantress's love, there should be no possibility of telling him the method.
"Rustling."
With some effort, he pushed himself up from the wet ground, rubbed his eyebrows slightly painfully, and looked sideways at Tian Yan through his fingers:
"Tian Yan, how many more days can this human grave last?"
The secret technique of human graves does not permanently seal the ghosts. Using Xia Qing's body as a tomb, the ghosts should not be able to last long when facing higher levels of mortal transformation.
His current injury is still very serious, and the time the human grave can last represents the time he can absorb the ghost liquid.
Tian Yan glanced at Xia Qing's body and hesitated slightly:
"It should last about another ten years."
After hearing the date, Xu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of thought, he carefully sensed the injury to his soul, and murmured in a low voice:
"Ten ten days, it should be enough."
"Ten days is only an approximate time."
Tian Ye, who was left alone, suddenly interrupted and reminded with a smile:
"To be on the safe side, we'd better leave here three to four days in advance. After all, if this Yin ghost breaks the seal early, depending on the state of Tian Yan and I, when it comes out, there will probably be four Yin-sealed human tombs in this cave. Oh~"
Speaking of this, Tianye chuckled charmingly:
"But with your current injury, Brother Changtian, even if you have the Yin Soul Liquid, is ten days really enough?"
Xu Yuan looked back, glanced up and down at the graceful curves under Tian Ye's black skirt, and chuckled meaningfully:
"I'm not talking about recovering from injuries."
Seeing this expression again, even though he was tricked once, Tian Ye did not show any nervousness, but asked with interest:
"Not injuries? Then what do you mean?"
"You will know when the time comes."
Time passed quietly,
Under the nourishment of the soul-nourishing treasure Yinhun Liquid and other various soul-nourishing elixirs, Xu Yuan's originally completely torn soul essence gradually began to reshape and heal.
After the first day, the originally nearly paralyzed body could barely get up and walk.
After the third day, there was no sign of any illness in the body.
After the fifth day, Xu Yuan could try to get his soul out of his body again, but he would still feel some pain when using his soul.
Time passed like a white horse, and eight days passed in a flash.
The dark cave was still so quiet, the only change was that the divine light on the rune prison that trapped Tian Ye dimmed a lot.
Converging his skills, as soon as Xu Yuan opened his eyes, before he could make any move, Tian Ye's smiling voice came to his ears:
"How is your injury recovering? Judging from the state of this Yinren Tomb, we should leave soon~"
"." Xu Yuan ignored her, and his mind simply scanned the cave and found that Tian Yan was not there.
"Well, ignore me, this is a kind reminder, and after all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now"
"."
Listening to Tian Ye's chatter, Xu Yuan hammered his temples that were slightly swollen due to absorbing too much Yinhun fluid.
This is the first time he has seen a woman who talks so much.
In the past eight days, he and Tian Yan basically didn't talk, and Tian Ye, who was imprisoned in the rune prison, was like a crossbow, talking non-stop whenever she had the chance.
Even if you ignore her, she can still giggle and talk for a long time.
It's like a psychopath talking to herself, but many of the topics this woman talks to herself are very interesting to Xu Yuan.
After all, Tianye was willing to reveal some information about Jiantian Pavilion.
In silence, Xu Yuan frowned slightly and asked:
"Where is Tianyan?"
Tianye pointed to the direction of the cave exit:
"She went out half a day ago. If you want to ask me what she did, I don't know."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan swallowed back what he wanted to ask, but at this time, Tianye chuckled and continued:
"But if you are willing to ask me, I can help you figure out the reason why she went out as a 'Tianyan'."
"What else can Tianyan do at this time?"
As he spoke, Xu Yuan pointed to his eyes and indicated: "Your disappearance is in Jiantian Pavilion. It must be a big event in the pavilion. Tian Yan must have gone out to confirm the safety outside the cave. After all, your golden eyes seem to be able to see some traces that ordinary people cannot see. "
"Oh? She actually told you all this?"
Tian Ye was slightly surprised, and then laughed: "I thought she was a person who abided by the duties of a saint."
Xu Yuan stood up from the ground and replied casually:
"It was not long ago."
"Not long ago? It seems that she only told you this. Hey, do you want to know more about Yan Tian Jue?"
"You mean the previous proposal?" Xu Yuan looked up.
"Yes."
Tian Ye sat on the boulder with his legs crossed, holding his cheeks, and smiled: "You only need to tell me what the world will look like in 20,000 years, and I will tell you some of the top intelligence of Jian Tian Pavilion, how about it?"
"Isn't this equivalent to giving it away for free?" Xu Yuan complained.
"No, this is a deal." Tian Ye's slender fingertips twisted a strand of black hair, and the words were casual: "I want to know what the world will be like in 20,000 years, and you want to know all kinds of information about Jiantian Pavilion. We both get what we need. It's a fair deal, isn't it?"
"."
Although he was very interested, Xu Yuan still didn't agree to this topic.
First, because they didn't know each other well enough, he was not sure whether Tian Ye would deceive him.
Second, because of Tian Yan.
No matter how important the information of Jiantian Pavilion is to Xiangguo Mansion, they have to take care of the people in front of them first.
Respect is mutual.
If he, the third son of Xiangguo Mansion, really learned almost all the secrets of Jiantian Pavilion from Tian Ye, it would become a thorn in Tian Yan's heart.
After all, although they are both saints of Jiantian Pavilion, Tian Yan is not a filial daughter like Tian Ye.
Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Yuan gently tapped his head with his index finger, with a hint of sarcasm:
"Stop trying to sow discord, it's useless to me."
"Tsk, have you been discovered?"
Tian Ye showed a trace of displeasure on his face, and sighed: "You are really deeply in love with that woman."
"Maybe."
Xu Yuan did not comment, and then asked strangely: "But Tian Ye, don't you have any loyalty to Jiantian Pavilion?"
Tian Ye smiled brightly when he heard it, and his beautiful eyes completed two crescents, and his tone was leisurely:
"Loyalty is of course there."
Xu Yuan smiled teasingly:
"Really? If you tell me these things, Jiantian Pavilion will probably find it difficult to do it. In reality, the power I am in is much stronger than Jiantian Pavilion."
Tian Ye's beautiful eyes lit up, and he blinked and asked immediately:
"Oh? There will be a sect stronger than Jiantian Pavilion in 20,000 years?"
"Hehe."
Xu Yuan laughed, stared at her and stopped talking.
Tian Ye curled his red lips:
"Tsk, you're such a bad person, you just know how to seduce others."
"Each other."
"I mean what I said, don't you really think about it? Anyway, since Yan is not here today, only you and I know about this matter."
"God knows whether what you said is true or false."
"I am Tian, so I naturally know it is true." Tianye smiled.
"." Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.
"Wow--"
The black skirt was flying, and Tianye suddenly jumped off the boulder and landed on the edge of the rune prison.
Xu Yuan glanced at the other party's movements in surprise.
For the past eight days, this woman seemed to have roots in her butt and had been sitting on that boulder without ever getting off.
Looking at the information,
A pair of beautiful eyes are as bright as stars in the sky and night, crystal clear and moving:
"Xu Yuan, compared to the eternal hegemony of Jiantian Pavilion, I now want to spend my false life in my own way.
"After all, I have been dead for 20,000 years.
"As long as you give up Tian Yan and be with me, I can promise you Tianye."
"I reject."
Xu Yuan interrupted the spellcasting without any hesitation: "No matter how many times you tell me, my answer is the same."
Just kidding, he has made up his mind to abide by a Tianyan principle in this illusion, at least until he completely traps the washboard saint.
"." All day and night.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan looked at Tianye, who was in the form of a girl, and complained:
"I'm very curious, what is it about me that attracts you? Are you so obsessed with me and so obsessed with provoking a relationship between Tian Yan?"
"Because you're funny."
Tianye's eyes were calm and his voice was long: "And you are special. In this false world of illusion, you are a unique and real existence."
"There is also Tian Yan." Xu Yuan tried to remind him.
"But I don't like women."
Tian Ye blinked at him, her phoenix eyes sparkling and her red lips charming: "So, Xu Yuan is the only one who is special to me~"
"."
Xu Yuan felt like he was being teased.
Tianye always seems to be able to see what Xu Yuan is thinking. His fingertips lightly trace the invisible barrier, causing ripples on it, and smiles slyly:
"Your heartbeat seems to be speeding up, but you still have some concerns."
That's a pretty good guess.
But sisters, if you change the place, I can make you lose your pants.
Xu Yuan complained in his heart, but shook his head seriously:
"Your bad taste is so boring."
"boring?"
With a murmur, Tianye lowered his eyes and smiled on his lips:
"Don't you think it's interesting to make you fall in love with me and then help you return to the reality where I have been dead for thousands of years?"
Neuropathy.
Cursing in his heart, Xu Yuan shook his head and still smiled:
"You were born before I was born, and you are dead after I was born. This kind of story is really interesting."
Tianye nodded immediately:
"You think so too, right?"
Xu Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the exit of the cave:
"Then come on, I hope you can make me fall in love with you, an old woman who has been dead for 20,000 years."
"." The corners of Tianye's eyes twitched, and he was about to speak again, but saw that the other party's back was already hidden in the thick fog in the cave.
Xu Yuan walked out a hundred feet or so, and a slender silhouette appeared in the thick fog of the cave.
Yes, Tian Yan has indeed come back, hiding in the corner.
It seemed that his previous prediction was correct. If he agreed to that woman Tianye, the washboard saint would be sad for a while.
At this moment, where Xu Yuan looked, Tian Yan's delicate little face was holding back a smile.
It seemed that the "heartfelt words" he deliberately said just now seemed to really make her happy.
Compared to the crazy woman that night, the washboard at home is indeed cuter.
"Did you hear that?" Xu Yuan's eyes flashed and he frowned, knowingly asking.
"What did you hear?" Tian Yan suppressed his smile and tilted his head, pretending not to know.
"Forget it if you didn't hear it."
Xu Yuan chuckled, without delving into it, turned around and walked towards the rune prison where Tianye was imprisoned: "How is the situation outside?"
Tian Yan quickly followed him, with a sweet smile on his thin lips:
"No trace of anyone else was found, so it should be safe. Where are your injuries?"
"The injury is about 30% better, and I can barely do my exercises."
Xu Yuan said, then asked: "How are you going to deal with Tianye?"
Tian Yan's face showed a trace of bitterness when he heard this.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly:
"Maintaining her seal costs you a lot?"
Tian Yan was silent for two seconds, but still shook his head:
"It's not that big."
When Xu Yuan saw this, he suddenly understood.
After several fierce battles, coupled with the evil poison in her body, Tian Yan's condition is actually not very good. Maintaining the seal on Tian Ye must be a heavy burden on her.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan suggested:
"Can I use regular restraint and other spells?"
Tian Yan walked on the empty ground, shook his head, and said in a very soft voice:
"No, Yan Tian Jue is naturally resistant to most restrictions. She will break it if you don't pay attention. By then we may not be able to stop her from transmitting information to the outside world."
Xu Yuan touched his chin and raised his eyes to look at the golden rune prison in the mist of the cave:
"In that case, leave it to me."
"Leave it to you?" Tian Yan glanced sideways.
"Forgot again? Drugged."
"." Tian Yan.
After giving the traitor an angry look, Tian Yan said with a smile on his lips: "That's all you can do."
"You agree?" Xu Yuan was a little surprised. In the past, Tian Yan would have at least been able to yin and yang with him.
"What can I do if I don't agree? I still have to spare some effort to protect you two."
"Well, I can use Tao Yun now. Why don't you help you remove the charm poison first?"
"Don't rush now. Let's take care of Tianye's affairs first."
"."
The two of them walked all the way back, discussing their escape plan in a low voice.
The sound moved from near to far, until the sound of the two talking had completely faded away. Countless withered vines were densely packed, quietly drilling through the hard stone slabs, sweeping up and covering the entire cave, and spreading towards the depths.
The deepest part of the cave.
Looking at the two men with dark eyes outside the prison, the fishy Tianye didn't show the slightest worry on his face. Instead, he asked slightly frivolously:
"It seems that you have already discussed how to deal with me."
As he spoke, Tianye knocked on the prison made of runes in front of him: "The Four Elephants Sealing God Seal is about to collapse. Xu Yuan should be the one to do it, right? Let me state in advance that ordinary means will have limited effect on me. Oh, if you ask me to call the old man named Luo, you will have no choice but to come back with me."
"rest assured."
Xu Yuan interrupted with a smile: "With this method, even if a strong saint comes, I won't be able to do anything else."
Tianye’s beautiful eyes narrowed:
"Oh? It's a method that even saints and strong men cannot avoid."
Before the words fell,
Tianye's voice suddenly stopped.
She saw Xu Yuan take out the charm tree species.
The magic spirit is quietly released, and the gorgeous cherry blossoms dance in the mist, like a dream.
Xu Yuan carried the Charming Tree Seed and walked towards Tianye step by step:
"Why don't you say anything? Are you scared?"
"I'm not that scared. In fact, I really want to try the famous Charming God Cherry Poison, but it's you, Brother Xu Yuan."
Tianye chuckled, hugging her plump chest with her hands, holding her fair chin, and licked her red lips with her small tongue, leaving a few smooth water stains: "... Can you resist not touching the charming me? After all, Tianye She may not always be with us.”
"."Xu Yuan.
As a "rhythm master" who controlled the rhythm, he felt ashamed of himself.
He was actually seduced by an old woman who had been dead for 20,000 years.
But there is no way there will be any chemical reaction between a bunch of broken glass and a beautiful poppy that has been dead for thousands of years.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan smiled softly and was about to start teasing, but his mind suddenly noticed something wrong.
When Dao Yun arrived, he felt that something was missing in the cave.
Looking around, I found nothing strange, but the feeling of dissonance did not dissipate, but became even stronger.
The ambiguity in his heart dissipated instantly, replaced by a strange panic.
Seeing Xu Yuan's expression, Tian Yan immediately asked:
"Xu Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yuan clenched the hand holding the Charming Tree Seed slightly, glanced at the thick mist around him, and said in a deep voice:
"Something's wrong. I feel like there's something missing in this cave. You can use the Yantian Jue to take a look."
"."
Tian Yan frowned slightly, his golden pupils flashed with divine light, and he also scanned around, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.
"gone"
"What?"
"Xia Qing is missing."
A moment of silence,
Tian Ye and Xu Yuan both subconsciously glanced at the spot where Xia Qing's body originally lay in the Four Elephants Seal of the Gods.
And there,
It was now empty.
"."Xu Yuan.
"." All day and night.
Can dead people move?
The answer is obviously no.
Is it that evil spirit?
The answer is also no.
It was impossible for the high-level Yin ghost guarding this place to devour the Yin-Sealing Tomb made by Xia Qing without alerting them.
Only holy-level ghosts can do this.
"."
As if he had realized something, Tianye's frivolous voice was gone, and he whispered in a dignified voice:
"Tian Yan, remove these four elephant seals!"
"What?"
"If you want to survive, please let me inform the Holy Lord right away. I'm afraid there is a holy-level ghost here... right now!"
"."
Xu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this. He remembered his inexplicable attraction to those ghosts in the past few months and Xia Qing's reminder to him.
There may be something in them that is constantly attracting the horror from the deepest parts of the Sword Valley.
"Tian Yan, listen to her." Xu Yuan's voice was a little dry: "Now the saint-level ghost should be devouring Xia Qing and the ghost inside her body. Time should be running out."
Hearing this, without the slightest hesitation, Tian Yan fired a spell:
"untie."
As soon as he finished speaking, those golden runes suspended in the air instantly disintegrated.
As soon as the Four Symbols God Seal was broken, the sluggish source energy and mind soul began to circulate again. Tian Ye did not hesitate at all, and immediately took out a token engraved with the word "Ye" from the Sumeru Ring, poured it with source energy, and exerted a force pinch.
"Crack."
The token shattered, and an invisible ripple appeared instantly, ignoring all obstacles and spreading toward the distance.
After doing this, the three of them had no intention of running away.
Because there is no need to run.
Facing a saint-level ghost, they had no chance of escaping.
The more intense the reaction, the faster death may occur.
Now the only thing they can hope for is that Xia Qing's body and the ghost guarding this place can last longer, and that the Holy Master of Supervisory Sky Pavilion can come faster.
After a short silence, Tian Ye relaxed again. After all, she had been dead for 20,000 years.
His golden eyes swept around, and Tian Ye sent a voice:
"What on earth do you two have that can attract ghosts of this level?"
"."
Tian Yan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, but then Xu Yuan's voice suddenly rang out:
"I, probably know why."
After he finished speaking, before the two girls could react, he suddenly stepped on the ground and moved away from them for more than 20 feet.
When the two girls looked back, Xu Yuan raised the palm holding the Charm God Tree Seed upwards.
As far as the eye could see, his hand, along with the Charm God Tree Seed, had been quietly wrapped and entangled by countless slender and tough willow branches, and a cold and gloomy aura spread from it.
Looking back suddenly, he saw that the cave around them had changed.
The fog was so thick that one could not see one's fingers. Thousands of willow branches hung down from the tough rock wall, and countless corpses were tied and hung upside down on them. They were dim in the fog, and the wind in the tunnel swayed gently like wind chimes.
Xu Yuan coughed lightly and smiled dryly:
"Well, I seem to have always been liked by Qianji Ghost Willow."
An accident happened, and I still couldn't finish it after coding all night.
I'm going to take a day off today
