Chapter 565 Human Traces
Several zombies covered with black hair crawled out of the ground in one breath, their faces extremely hideous.
Li Qing frowned as he looked at the zombies rushing towards him.
"As expected of the Netherworld, I just came here and encountered several zombies that can give Foundation Establishment cultivators a headache."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Qing's hands moved quite fast. He took back the Netherworld Cold Fire, and then opened his mouth, and a ball of red Dan Fire spewed out of his mouth.
Boom!
The Dan Fire of a Jindan cultivator can also be regarded as having a certain restraining effect on evil and filthy things. Although it cannot be said to be extremely strong and yang, it is not difficult to deal with a few zombies.
In a flash, the red and fierce Dan Fire burned several black-haired zombies into ashes, without any suspense.
After doing all this, Li Qing flew into the air and flew out of the dry river valley.
Perhaps because there were no stars or moons, the night in the Netherworld was very dark, the deepest night sky Li Qing had ever seen, even the polar night world was inferior to it.
In this night without a single ray of light, Li Qing, flying in the air, seemed to have merged with the darkness, and it was difficult to detect the trajectory of his flight.
During this period, Li Qing secretly calculated the passage of time.
Soon, he discovered another unusual thing.
The night here seemed to be particularly long. He flew in the night sky for almost several hours, but still did not see any signs of dawn.
Finally, after such an aimless flight, Li Qing finally saw human habitation!
"I thought this area was really a dead area, but I finally saw people!"
I saw earthen forts standing up on the ground in front of me, and a torch stood on the top of each small fort.
These flickering flames in the wind were extremely conspicuous in such a deep night.
Li Qing did not forget the purpose of his trip, which was to find people!
However, in such a vast and unfamiliar domain, if he wanted to find the fellow disciples who had fled here, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if he just searched aimlessly by himself.
So first of all, he had to find a place where humans gathered. Where there were people, there would be news transmission. It would be better to follow the clues and keep looking.
"Wu Chong, the fat man, was one step ahead of me in cultivation at the beginning. In addition, he practiced the superior technique of "Taotie Divine Art". Even if he was in such a domain with thin spiritual energy, he should have already formed a pill."
Thinking of this, Li Qing flew towards the strange buildings on the ground in front.
It would always be much easier to find a cultivator in the Jindan stage with distinctive characteristics.
In this way, Li Qing, who concealed his breath, slowly approached the sky above these earthen forts.
Buzz!
The powerful divine consciousness spread out and instantly enveloped the surrounding area.
Soon, a burst of gibberish came from the castle. Li Qing was stunned when he heard the chaotic conversation.
The language was incomprehensible!
Immediately, Li Qing made a decision and planned to capture a random person to search his soul and learn the language of this place.
However, just as he was about to act, a crisp bell sound suddenly rang in the castle.
Ding Ding Dang Dang! Ding Ding Dang Dang!
The sound of the bell echoed and resounded to a very far distance.
After a while, all the people in the castle reacted and rushed out.
After realizing all this, Li Qing secretly cried out that it was not good. Maybe he had triggered some unknown restrictions and alarmed these people.
"No matter what, just capture someone and learn the language of this place first."
With that, Li Qing took action. In the castle closest to him, a man in coarse linen clothes just rushed out and was knocked unconscious by Li Qing.
Then, he picked up the unconscious man and left the place quickly.
"Uh, Master Immortal, spare me, Master Immortal, spare me!"
The burly man who was just caught by Li Qing knelt on the ground and trembled, terrified to the extreme.
At this time, Li Qing was standing on a rock with his hands behind his back. Just now, he successfully learned the language of the underworld from the other party's sea of consciousness.
In addition, he also knew some basic information about this area.
The place he found just now was a force called Lianjiazhai. Most of the people in Lianjiazhai were mortals, but there were also a few immortal cultivators.
And these immortal cultivators who ruled the entire Lianjiazhai had to pay tribute to a force called Xiling Palace every day.
As for how powerful this Xiling Palace was, because Li Qing captured a mortal, this person didn't know much, so Li Qing had no way of knowing.
However, one thing is certain, this Xiling Palace has been collecting offerings from small forces in various places for quite a long time, since this mortal can remember.
As for the offerings, it is a kind of thing called Yin Stone.
Li Qing, standing with his hands behind his back, looked back at the man in coarse linen clothes, and then shook his head and said:
"I won't kill you, but there are some things I want to confirm with you. You can live if you answer truthfully."
"Master, if you have anything to ask, just ask!" The strong man didn't dare to raise his head, and still knocked his head on the ground.
It's not that Li Qing didn't want to look for the answer to the question directly from his sea of consciousness, but a person's memory is too messy. If he reads too much, his spiritual platform may even be covered with dust.
"How many other villages like yours collect Yin stones nearby? What can you get after offering Yin stones?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied:
"In the entire Wenhe Valley, in addition to my Lianjia Village, there are four villages of similar size that are also collecting Yin stones for the Xiling Temple."
"Every time we offer Yin stones, the temple will reward the immortal masters in the village, and finally the immortal masters in the village will reward us."
After hearing this, Li Qing nodded with a little understanding.
Just now, he sensed that in Lianjia Village, there was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and the others were cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
If they are all of this scale, it means that there are at least five cultivators in the Foundation Building Stage in this area.
Then this so-called Xiling Temple should have at least a Jindan Zhenren sitting in charge.
In this large area with thin spiritual energy, this kind of force should be a top-notch existence.
"Yinshi, Xiling Temple, I don't know what the use of this stone that can be mined by mortals is."
"But since Xiling Temple is so powerful, starting from it to inquire about the news and intelligence of the fat man Wu Chong, there should be some clues."
