A naked man, a voluptuous woman, and an old man with a long beard were sitting in the mountain col, eating the corpses of the dead. One was devouring the corpse, the other was chewing slowly, and the other was picking and choosing, which made Meng Zhongliu feel cold in his heart. Cool. The corpse, tall and burly, with gnarled muscles, was clearly Shen Changhe of the Goukandan Sect.
The old man with a long beard saw him flying in the air with his sword, grinned, and waved to him, gesturing for him to come closer and take a closer look.
The enemy was outnumbered, so we had no choice but to retreat to temporarily avoid its sharp edge. However, as the long-bearded old man waved his hand, Meng Zhongliu noticed a gray mark on the back of his left hand, which bulged slightly, like a Crescent moon.
At this point, everyone unanimously turned their attention to Wei Shiqi, sliding down from his calm face and landing on the back of his left hand. He also has that mark, which is the mark of human-male hybrid, the proof of "mule". The atmosphere of fear spread quietly. If those three "mules" were comparable to Wei Shiqi, this rescue trip would not be a good job, and even his life might be at risk here.
None of them knew the details, but Shi Pingfu knew it.
Before leaving Liushi Peak, Pu Tianwei came to Chishui Cliff in person and talked with him for a while to learn more about it.
At that time, Elder Ruan Jingruan stayed in the Barbarian Bone Forest for a long time under the order of the leader. A few years later, she came here again, took Jiang Yongshou and Pan Yun away from the dense forest, and introduced them to the Sword Controlling Sect. Under the door. The naked man, the enchanting woman, and the old man with long beards, they could not survive the first bloodline awakening, and their bodies had long been taken away by the remnant soul of the sky demon. Before Ruan Jing returned, they flew far away to avoid other places.
Now, they are back again, bloodthirsty, cunning, and cruel. Eighty-nine times out of ten, they have survived the second bloodline awakening. Driven by instinct, they return to the Savage Bone Forest and approach Kunlun cautiously and hesitantly. .
Under the Flowing Stone Peak, the Demon Suppressing Tower, and the Demon Refining Pond, the heavenly demons who died under the Tongtian Formation were suppressed. Only by devouring their parents and awakening for the third time can they truly inherit their bloodline and become a great master in the world. Demon.
That's why they're here.
Meng Zhongliu is right about one thing. These human-monster hybrids have experienced awakening and seizing their bodies. Their blood and souls come from the same source. This is an extremely rare and great tonic. If it is condensed into elixirs with secret techniques, It is called "Dacheng Dan" and has a beneficial effect in breaking through bottlenecks. This is not groundless. It is said in the "Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra" and it is well documented.
Shi Pingfu has been trapped in the Sword Qi Pass for many years and has not been able to cultivate the sword silk. Seeing that his life is approaching, he suddenly encounters such an opportunity. He is willing to let it go. His thoughts are only better than Meng Zhongliu's. More urgent.
However, the fewer people who know about this kind of secret involving cultivation, the better. If there are too many, it will not be enough, and people's hearts will fluctuate, which will only increase the variables.
Shi Pingfu made the final decision and said: "Monsters are nothing to worry about, but the three awakened monsters are a bit troublesome... Well, let's prepare in the village tomorrow. The natives have some things to trade. Animal bones, herbs and the like, they don't use silver, they barter, some salt, a small bag of tea, cloth, iron, needle and thread can be used. If you are lucky, you may be able to exchange for what you need... The day after tomorrow, set out to destroy the monsters early in the morning! "
Meng Zhongliu added: "There are several small sheds near the wooden wall at the east end. The natives knew that I couldn't get used to many people crowding together in one place, so they built them specially. Then, rest as you like. If you are traveling, it is best not to go deep into the Savage Bone Forest. "After saying this, he led Shi Pingfu, Wang Jin, and Pu Weisheng to settle down separately, leaving a group of second-generation disciples to "take care of themselves."
Everyone sat in front of the altar for a while, then stood up in twos and threes and headed toward the village Heading eastward
Wei Shiqi took advantage of the moonlight and walked along the wooden wall, listening to the sounds coming from the dense forest, the chirping of insects among the grass blades, and the whimpering of the wind through the branches. , the beasts roared, they seemed to be under some kind of intimidation and were in a state of turmoil. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then picked up a shed under the wooden wall, opened the narrow door, and looked intently. There was a crypt inside. It is about six feet long and wide, with nothing in it. Some thatch is piled in the corner for bedding.
The earthen wall is covered with large and small stones. It is simple and crude, but it is clean and has no peculiar smell. . Wei Shiqi lowered his head and got in, took out the Luminous Talisman, poured some vitality into it, and threw it on his head. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, and waited quietly until the middle of the night, only to hear the sound of the wind sobbing. < /p>
Everyone was silent, and the sound of slight footsteps gradually approached and stopped outside the shed. Someone knocked twice and asked: "Has the immortal master ever fallen asleep?" "The voice is gentle, but the tone is a bit stiff.
"What's the matter? "
"The immortal master came from afar, and the little girl, following the order of the clan leader, recommended herself to be a pillow mat.
Although she is a native woman, her words are very elegant and docile. Wei Shiqi's heart moved and he said: "Come in, I have something to ask you." ”
A graceful young woman got into the shed, put her hands on her knees and lowered her head to salute him. She was kneeling upright in front of him, but she was one of the three women who had just served food and tea. 1.
“Keep your head up. "
The woman raised her head, with a pair of black and shiny eyes, a rather hard facial contour, and a slightly rough skin. She is not beautiful, just upright.
"You What's your last name? What's your name? "
"The slave family is called Xiaodie, and has no surname. ”
“Who did you learn Chinese from? Well said! "
"It was taught by the patriarch. He used to live in Tieling Town. He could speak Han Chinese and taught us after he came back. "
"The patriarch asked you to come here? "
"Yes, if the immortal master can take in the slave family, it will be a blessing for the slave family. "
"Did the patriarch ask you to say this? "
"Yes. "
"Every immortal master who comes here has to say this? "
Xiaodie hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes. "
"Have the patriarch told you why he did this? "
She said honestly: "The patriarch said, ImmortalThe teacher helps us deal with the monsters in the Barbarian Bone Forest. The village is poor and miserable, and there is nothing we can do with it. We can use it... to relieve our depression. If God opens his eyes, she is pregnant with a child, and we have a fairy tale, I will Immortal masters learn some superficial spells and can also protect the village. Immortal Master, do you want me? "
Wei Shiqi shook his head.
Xiaodie was a little disappointed, sighed, and said distressedly: "The Nu family knows that the patriarch's method will not work. "
"Why do you say that? ”
“There are immortal masters wherever they go. There are so many outstanding women among the Han people, how can they like us natives...”
“No one has taken a fancy to them before.” you? "
"Yes, very few. The most recent one is the Golden Immortal Master. He can fly on his sword and is very powerful. Unfortunately, he was caught by the monster in the forest and could not survive." Monsters are our biggest enemies. If it hadn't been for the protection of the immortal master these years, the village would have been destroyed long ago. "
The "Golden Immortal Master" she was talking about should be Jin Yibiao of the Five Elements Sect.
Xiao Die glanced at him secretly and said tentatively: "Immortal Master does not want to be a servant. If you go to bed, I won’t disturb you. "
"Do you have any animal bone herbs or anything like that? Bring it to me tomorrow. "Wei Shiqi remembered Shi Pingfu's reminder and was a little curious, wondering what the natives could bring out.
"Did Master Immortal bring salt and tea? "Xiao Die became excited.
"No, but I can use some spells in exchange.
Xiaodie jumped up, surprised and happy, and shouted: "Yes, I have it, I will go find it now!" "She rushed out in a gust of wind, turned back, bowed respectfully to Wei Shiqi and thanked him, and then ran back in a hurry.
