Chapter 249 Soul-Suppressing Nail
Peach trees are everywhere, the village roads wind up and down along the mountain, and the houses are scattered in an orderly manner.
When we came to the secret territory, we saw a scene of a mountain village in full spring, with villagers coming and going everywhere.
The village occupies three miles of mountainous land, and there are not many outsiders scattered throughout the village.
When Liu Feng came in, the three elders of the sect had disappeared, and the other disciples dispersed, eager to find high-grade spiritual objects.
According to the information that our sect has received so far, the entire village has been buried underground in this village, and they have all turned into zombie monsters with decaying flesh. The aura of death accumulated over thousands of years is enough to corrode the flesh of the four realms.
It was Elder Meng who brought this news back, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
In addition, the vision of the village girl and the wooden sculpture was also mentioned, but presumably Elder Meng did not take a closer look at the wooden sculpture, so the description is unknown.
The current vision is inconsistent with what Elder Meng saw that day. It must be another memory of obsession here. There is neither a girl nor a wood carving in the village.
"In addition to the Gu Masters from the Immortal Slaughter Sect, there are many other monks. The few half-human and half-wolf ones over there should be demonic cultivators from the Liang Kingdom."
At this time, Zhu Mingye was carrying a set of evil-breaking magic swords on his back, a stack of talismans in his arms, and a precious mirror hanging on his waist, all of which were prepared to deal with corpse evil.
Watch those demonic cultivators sniffing around, looking for something following the smell.
Niu Yun followed Liu Feng and tested it with Gu magic. She found that the stream in the village was an illusion, the river water was an illusion, and every plant and tree was also an illusion.
I don’t know how many years have passed between the world and the earth here. Apart from the mountains and the land at their feet, almost nothing remains.
"It's just a mountain village. The household objects have long since decayed. Where did the high-grade spiritual objects come from? Elder, why don't you take us to other secret realms? I heard there are five secret realms in total." Niu Yun complained softly.
It is said that there are five secret realms. When they came in before, the secret realm on the other side of the forest was destroyed, so there are three more secret realms besides this mountain village.
There are sword sects, cities, and a village much larger than this mountain village in those three places.
No matter which one, the possibility of high-grade spiritual objects remaining is greater than here.
When Zhu Mingye and Niu Yun were thinking about how to search, Liu Feng, who was walking in front, had lost sight of the illusion and saw the real side of the mountain village.
As far as the eye can see, the village is empty, except for the aura of death that rises from beneath the earth and fills the entire world.
Looking away from the village, there was chaos for two or three miles outside the village.
"Thousands of years have passed, and the aura of death is still too strong. The longer you stay here, the more severely your body will be eroded."
"The whole village has almost no spiritual energy. We have to look for spiritual objects..."
Liu Feng stood high in the village. After scanning around for a few times, he saw some spiritual energy in the open space in the middle of the mountain village. However, this spiritual energy was wrapped in an extremely strong death aura, which was not a good thing at first glance.
"Most of the corpses are buried there. If they are not completely decayed, they must be dangerous."
He was thinking in his mind, and Zhu Mingye, who was behind him, followed his line of sight and looked towards the middle of the village.
Zhu Mingye knew that Liu Feng had strange eyesight and guessed that Liu Feng might have seen spiritual objects that were difficult for ordinary people to see.
"Brother Liu, the elder asked us to bring high-quality spiritual objects out. We have to take risks, otherwise someone will die. If you have a target, I will use a magic weapon to explore first."
Liu Feng nodded. The toad took the initiative and wanted to go first. He had no reason to refuse.
Instead of running around like everyone else, it's better to take some risks and get out as soon as possible.
Their location was about Morish away from the open space in the middle of the village. The three of them arrived in front of the open space not long after they separated.
Fifty feet away, Zhu Mingye walked forward alone for more than ten feet, his mouth suddenly widened, and he spit out two shields and a wide sword.
As a demon cultivator who transforms into a demon, Zhu Mingye possesses the true energy of the Taoist sect, and at the same time, he also has the poisonous energy of the Gu master in his body.
He drew his true energy and made a decision, holding two shields in front of him, and his broad sword, like a big shovel, penetrated the open space pointed by Liu Feng.
This excavation immediately attracted the attention of many people.
No one of the monks hiding in all directions stepped forward to stop them. They all just waited and watched. If there was danger, they would retreat as soon as possible. If there was an advantage, of course, they would step forward to fight for it.
The broad sword penetrated again and again, and each sword could dig out large chunks of black mud.
Liu Feng's eyes were fixed on the center of the clearing. Under the broken soil layer, no more dead energy was seen coming out, so he was a little relieved.
A wisp of poisonous energy escaped from his fingertips, and he pressed and pulled the green-skinned gourd on his waist, and a three-and-a-half-foot-long soldier Gu fell to the ground.
This weapon Gu is dark in color and has a carapace as solid as iron armor. It is the "snake" that Liu Feng just completed the blood refining to recognize as its master yesterday.
The green-skinned gourd was snatched from Mu Hao. There was only six feet of space inside, which could barely accommodate two soldiers. The remaining space could be used to place several armored soldiers.
The soldier Gu landed on the ground, and the upper half of the insect's body was attached to Liu Feng's back. The legs of the insect were folded together, covering his body like armor.
The lower half of the snake-tail-shaped insect body is three feet long, and its body is strong and powerful, not inferior to the three-level demon body. It is enough to easily lift Liu Feng off the ground and swim like a big snake, fast and flexible.
"Niu Yun, follow me and retreat further." From Liu Feng's field of vision, he noticed that there were many people approaching from all sides.
In addition to Mu Hao and Pei Liang, two fellow disciples, there are four demon cultivators of the third realm and a Taoist cultivator of the fourth realm. There is another set of five internal organs in his body, which at first glance is the demon path of Luo Shengdao.
The clone picked up Niu Yun, dodged a hundred feet back, and landed in front of a row of courtyards.
The comings and goings of the villagers were naturally ignored by Liu Feng's clone, as they were all just illusions.
But Niu Yun was leisurely. Anyway, Liu Feng had a problem with grabbing things, so she just made up the numbers and waited to become a direct descendant.
Niu Yun looked at the villagers with great interest, and then looked into the courtyard. It was an unintentional move, but she was stunned when she looked at it.
There is a row of courtyards behind him. In the third courtyard, there is a boy in his early ten years. His facial features are exquisite and extremely handsome.
A handsome boy of such an age was the most endearing, and Niu Yun was attracted to him at a glance.
This delicate little thing looked very familiar. She turned her head and glanced at Liu Feng's body in the distance. The two looked like brothers.
Just one smile is clear and kind, and the other is as cruel as a devil.
"Yu'er, this is a pastry made for mother. You go and send half of it to Xiaorou's house."
"I'll be there right away."
The mother-in-law's voice came from the courtyard. The boy's expression was calm, as if he was precocious, and his behavior was calm and not like a child.
Niu Yun watched the boy put on the wooden box, walk out of the courtyard unhurriedly, and followed the village road into a house on the mountainside.
"Senior Brother Liu, please take a look at the illusion. The child over there looks exactly like you."
The clone of Liu Feng was full of evil energy, scanning the hiding person with its "empty pupils". The alien body was of the same mind, and the main body controlled the weapon Gu, ready to snatch the spiritual objects at any time. There was no time to pay attention to Niu Yun's nonsense.
There are countless people who look alike in the world, and it is not uncommon for someone to look like him thousands of years ago.
Niu Yun saw that Liu Feng ignored her and kept looking at the house on the mountainside. She saw the boy named Yu'er walking out again.
There is a follower behind him, a beautiful girl.
The two children held the cakes in their hands and headed towards the back mountain.
The girl was in her teens, coy and like a young woman, staring at the boy with a shy smile.
When it comes to the love between a man and a woman, a woman knows early, and her heart is already full of excitement at such a young age.
As both women, Niu Yun seemed to understand, but she was not very happy inside and secretly cursed the little fox.
Soon, the pair of children in sight moved away and disappeared on the mountain road leading to the mountain behind the village.
Just as she was immersed in watching, an old man's laughter spread in the open space in the middle of the village. She could only hear the sound, but no one came.
"My dear friends, I, Elder Luo Shengdao, will only take six of the eleven soul-suppressing nails, and you will divide the rest."
Niu Yun turned around and looked around. The soil in the open space had been dug up in a radius of seven to eight feet, and piles of rotten skulls were exposed underground. Eleven black lights were fixed on the pile of bones.
The suppressed things have long been spiritually extinct, but the black light still has energy to disperse.
Looking carefully, the eleven black lights are actually long nails, which are the same as the soul-suppressing nails commonly used by wandering Taoist priests.
Accompanied by the old man's laughter, the heart covered in black hair flew out, dragging raging turbid fire towards the exposed earth pit.
This is a demon of the Fourth Realm and the Five Elements Realm, and the power of his fire technique is not comparable to that of Zhu Mingye of the Third Realm.
The turbid fire rolled and covered the entire open space.
The old Taoist tried to be polite, but no one from the younger generation around him gave him face, and many people from the three realms dared to snatch him away.
"Boom..." The sound of thunder suddenly appeared, and a bolt of thunder rolled up layers of water curtains and rushed into the fire wave.
Then a person's back swelled, and a monster with fleshy wings squeezed out. As it flapped its wings, the human and the monster pounced on the soul-suppressing nail in the pit.
The two three realms who dared to compete with the four realms were Mu Hao and Pei Liang from the Immortal Transformation Sect.
It doesn't matter if the four realms take action. In addition to possessing strange poisons, they also have hidden means to save their lives. It is true that they cannot be defeated, but it is not easy for this veteran to kill them.
Slightly slower were several demonic cultivators covered in black scales, each wearing a magic weapon emitting demonic energy.
"I dug these out. There are only six of them in the old immortal's mouth." Zhu Mingye raised his hand and threw out a stack of talismans, and more strings of Gu came out of his body.
The moon shadow crossed the sky where Zi Gu passed by, turning the open space into an illusion, and the pit disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The talisman exploded into flames and pushed out the turbid fire in a short time. Taking this opportunity, Zhu Mingye shot more than ten streams of light from the sword tube behind his back, and used the magic sword to snatch the soul-suppressing nail.
Of course, when this demon toad took action, there was someone faster than him.
The fourth-grade medicine man punched twice in succession, and the true energy surged, pulling out a channel in the turbid fire.
Liu Feng's body saw through the illusion. The snake's tail behind him shrank and flicked, and he came to the pit first. The medicine man followed him, and met the heart full of black hair head on.
"A bunch of juniors are really brave."
Chong Yizi, who was hiding in the dark, was furious when he saw that many juniors were already in the Third Realm at a young age and still didn't take him seriously.
He had never seen such an arrogant junior outside, who dared to confront the Fourth Realm in the Third Realm.
Two more organs covered with black hair flew out, and the lungs were made of gold. The moment the two lung magic weapons flashed out, thousands of sharp golden energy shot out into the open space.
"Bang, bang bang..." The soil in the open space burst and black mud splashed everywhere.
Zi Gu was crushed to pieces, the magic sword was broken, and the illusion was forcibly blasted away.
In the swirling black dust, two weaker Three Realms could not escape, and their bodies lay on the ground on the spot. The rest of the people also stopped their forward movement and had to dodge.
Mu Hao and Pei Liang were also temporarily forced to retreat and forced their way forward. They would not lose their lives, but they would definitely be seriously injured.
One move made many juniors die and retreat, but Chong Yizi let out an angry roar.
There was a "pop" sound in front of the pit, and the black hair was blown away by the true energy, hitting the magic weapon in the heart. After a few punches, the magic weapon was shattered into blood mist.
Liu Feng ordered the medicine man to destroy one of the opponent's magic weapons, rolled up four soul-suppressing nails, and walked away.
The reason why he left seven of them was because in addition to the old Taoists from Luosheng Tao, there were other four realms rushing here. If he ate alone, he would definitely be hunted down.
The elder of our sect is still unknown, and even if he knew the situation here, he would probably stand by and watch.
…
Ninety-nine percent of people who break into the secret realm will be searched in the village.
At this time, two or three miles away from the village, in the hazy chaos, there was another scene.
There are no illusions here, only broken soil that may collapse at any time, and the area beyond is dark and empty, like a vast black curtain.
In the past, this small world was not so small. All because of the death of its master, most of the small world collapsed and disappeared over the years.
Black cracks appeared from time to time in the haze, passing by silently and in a flash. Those who touched them had no chance of surviving.
Bodies could be seen scattered on the broken soil, and the wounds were smooth, as if they had been chopped up instantly with a sharp weapon.
In such a dangerous place, thousands of years ago it was green mountains, and the remains of the pavilion can still be seen today.
On the broken soil near the edge of chaos, only the base of the pavilion remained. Shrouded in gray mist, there were actually two women here.
The two women each released hundreds of thousands of Gu insects to swarm the surroundings, using the Gu insects to sense the fluctuations in the surrounding aura to prevent black cracks from appearing.
Another person sat cross-legged beside the broken pavilion, holding the formation plate with one hand and breaking the formation on the ground with the other.
This formation has gone through thousands of years, and the base of the formation has been almost completely damaged, but she, a Taoist cultivator who has perfected the four realms, is still so time-consuming.
On one side, the female Gu Master frowned slightly and glanced sideways to the right.
There was no abnormality, a black crack flashed out of thin air, and nearly 8,000 Gu insects were wiped away.
"Junior sister, this place is too dangerous. It doesn't matter if my clone dies, but you are here in the original body! If it really can't be broken, let's retreat as soon as possible and change to a secret realm."
The female Gu Master spoke with an indifferent tone. She was none other than Luo Qin, one of the four clones of Yu Qiongzi.
The person in front of her who was eager to break the formation was her junior sister Yu Yingzi.
"Sister, wait a moment, it's almost time."
There was no trace of panic on Yu Yingzi's face. She used the formation plate to deduce it with all her heart, and the real energy in her hand continued to penetrate into the remaining formation beneath her.
After a while, there was a "click" and a hole opened in the formation.
After many years, a strong aroma of wine, mixed with the fragrance of peach blossoms, came out of the crack. Just the smell of wine that overflowed made the two women almost drunk.
What is sealed in the formation should be the wine buried by the owner here, mixed with an unknown number of elixirs.
Yu Yingzi sniffed and could distinguish more than one elixir through its scent, including the Zhiyang elixir that the senior sister needed.
"If such a spiritual object is taken out and refined, it will definitely allow me to break into the fifth realm. Senior sister, you can also keep your body clean and use this object to make up for the flaws left by breaking through the realm."
A few steps behind, even though Yu Qiongzi had a cold temper, he couldn't help but smile a little when he heard this.
This place is separated from the world where Da Sui is. She is driving this clone with all her spirit. However, the main body has not yet learned the good news.
