After the ancestors fell

Chapter 173

Shui Lai did many unspeakable things in the early years, such as destroying the family, killing people and seizing treasures, there are countless such things, so it is not surprising that a few life and death enemies occasionally come to the door.

This enemy didn't even remember her, she didn't remember until the other party came to her, it turned out that she had robbed the other party of an elixir in her early years.Although this elixir was precious, to Shui Lai, it was just a few extra spirit stones, and she forgot about it not long after.

Little did they know that this elixir was the life-saving elixir of the man's father, without the elixir, the man's father's injuries could not be recovered, and he died not long after.

The revenge of killing his father is undeniable.

The man made a poisonous oath to avenge his father, made inquiries and found Shui Lai. At that time, Shui Lai was already a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and the other party was only in the Golden Core realm.That person knew that his cultivation base was insufficient, and his low strength was no match for Shui Lai. In addition, his aptitude was average. If he only relied on normal cultivation, he might not have a chance of revenge in his life.

However, there is no unparalleled path, somehow I got a high-level exercise, it only took 50 years, and I quickly cultivated from the foundation-building state to the Nascent Soul cultivation base, and the strength is far stronger than that of the same-level monks .

"That person knows how to endure. He has been with Shui for five years, and he didn't start to do anything until we were seriously injured." Xue Yuyi's face was very ugly.

He didn't care if that person killed Shui Lai, what annoyed him was that the aura of the man's practice was very similar to those who attacked Xiaoyaomen back then, and might even come from the same school.

Although he is now controlled and enslaved by others, the hatred of Xiaoyaomen is still like a flame in his heart, constantly tormenting and causing him pain.

Xue Yuyi glanced at the dying Shui Lai with great disdain, "Such a waste, not worthy of being my Xiaoyaomen!"

"Hmph! You still have the face to say to me, if you are not a waste, how could you make yourself into such a ghostly appearance."

Regarding Xue Yuyi's current appearance, Shui Lai felt that he might never be able to let go of her.Over the years, every time she saw that ugly face, her heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife.

Until one day, she finally couldn't help it, and told herself over and over again that her master was dead by this ugly man. Only by killing this ugly man can the pain in her heart be relieved.

The moment she decided to do it, she even planned to die with him, but unexpectedly, those Lei Zhenzi gave her a big "surprise"!
Thinking of this, Shui Lai glanced at Mu Qingfeng, and suddenly found that the other person's aura had become even more unpredictable, and he was horrified in his heart. After not seeing him for a long time, this person's cultivation has improved again.

Mu Qingfeng looked at Shui Lai, who was seriously injured, and Xue Yuyi, who was full of energy, but claimed to be badly injured due to the retrograde technique, "So, how did you escape from that person's hands?"

As soon as these words came out, Shui Lai's eyes dodged a little, but Xue Yuyi lifted up his sleeves, revealing a flower in the shape of a bud, which had not yet bloomed.

"what is this?"

Xue Yuyi hesitated for a moment, and said: "This is my Xiaoyao Sect's unique secret technique, Han Mengying."

This is an extremely difficult evasion technique. As for how to practice it, Mu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and didn't ask further when seeing the two of them keeping secrets.

The two recovered from their injuries here, and each found a place.Immortal cultivators have always had no fixed place to live, even in the wild mountains, they can quickly build a simple residence that can shelter from wind and rain.

Mu Qingfeng let them make their own arrangements, except that he was forbidden to set foot on the mountain where he was, and did not restrict them too much.

In the early morning of this day, Mu Qingfeng was practicing five-element spells on the top of the mountain. Five-element spells can be divided into primary, intermediate, and advanced levels. But it may not be able to be upgraded.

Only after a lot of practice can one grasp the essence of the five-element magic, improve the control of spiritual power, and its power will increase accordingly, and then the level of the spell will be improved.

Beyond the mountain peak was the sea surface that was connected to the sky. At this time, the rising sun jumped out of the sea surface, dyeing most of the sea area red.

"The sky and the water are the same color, and all the rivers converge!"

A tactic turned into a streamer and flew out, and then a huge wave rose in the sea, and countless currents gathered to form countless huge water spheres.

Mu Qingfeng manipulated the spell to make these water polos condense with each other, and then separate, so that all the water polos became the same size and exploded on the sea surface one by one.

One after another, the water balloons blasted the shallow sea below the mountain out of the reefs on the bottom of the sea.A black hole was exposed under the reef, and Mu Qingfeng released his consciousness, and found that the hole was extremely deep, and the direction actually extended down the mountain.Her fingertips flickered, and a colorful moth was transformed into a moth.

The moth flapped its wings and flew towards the hole.

On the other side, a sound transmission talisman flew over from another mountain, it came from water, and she found a cave for hiding corpses under the mountain.

Mu Qingfeng disappeared in place in a flash.

At the foot of the mountain and close to the coast, many fishermen were drying their nets on the beach, when suddenly a cold wind blew and lifted the nets.

Where the cold wind went, streaks of frost formed. Seeing this scene, the fishermen were shocked and fled to their homes screaming.

Mu Qingfeng and Shui Lai stood in the forest, looking at the changes in front of them, "Who discovered the corpse cave?"

"It was a little girl who accidentally fell into a cave and found a corpse. I met him and found that the corpse had escaped from an underground cave," Shui said.

"Corpse? Escaped?"

"You'll know when you go to see it. Those corpses seem to be left there deliberately, and they seem to want to be refined into corpse puppets."

A flash of spiritual light flew from a distance, and a bird with spiritual energy landed on Mu Qingfeng's hand.

When Shuilai saw the little bird, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

After flapping the bird's wings a few times, it finally turned into a ray of spiritual light and dissipated in the air. Mu Qingfeng raised his legs and came to the entrance of the cave. The cold air kept rushing out from the entrance of the cave. Frozen into an ice sculpture by that Yin Qi.

After entering, there are corpses everywhere. At a glance, there are hundreds of thousands of corpses. The corpses are lined up side by side, like spreading in the depths of a cave.

"So many corpses are mostly done by the Corpse Puppet Sect. Who are the most insidious villains who like to train living people into corpse puppets and treat them as pets, and who are simply perverted?"

Shui Lai seemed to hate the Corpse Puppet Sect very much, and he did not hide his disgust in his words.

"The Corpse Puppet Sect is in the North, bordering the West Sea, but here is the East Sea, why did they spend a lot of time refining so many corpse puppets here?" Mu Qingfeng was a little puzzled.

The environment here is not a suitable place for refining corpse puppets. The resources consumed by so many corpse puppets are not a small expense. Why did they spend a lot of resources to form a corpse cave here?

"Why don't we burn this place down and lead out the people behind the scenes?" Shui Lai suggested tentatively.

"No hurry!" Mu Qingfeng said, "For the time being, seal this place, and don't let any villagers come here."

The two walked to the entrance of the cave, and when they saw the child frozen into an ice sculpture, Shui Lai suddenly said, "She's still alive."

Mu Qingfeng raised his hand and lifted the child out, "Let's go!"

The nearby village is called Hailuo Village. There are not many villagers here. Most of them rely on the sea for their livelihood. The weather in the sea is unpredictable. Sometimes once they go out to sea, they will never come back. This is a common occurrence, and the people in the village are used to it Life and death, but life has to go on, life is difficult, even if they want to move out of here, but they are all mortals without spiritual roots, the world is so big, but there is no place for them.

In this way, every day and every year, fewer and fewer people survived.

It was rare for the village head of Hailuo Village to see Mu Qingfeng go down the mountain, and he was extremely enthusiastic. Since the immortals came up the mountain, the powerful sea beasts in the nearby waters have never appeared again, and the number of dead people has not been as many as in previous years, so most of them Everyone is extremely grateful for the sudden appearance of the immortal.

It's not that there have been immortals here in the past. They stepped on flying swords and fell from the sky. They hurt people's lives if they didn't agree with each other. Every time these immortals appeared, there would be serious sea disasters, and a large number of villagers died in the sea.

Shui Lai came out, she was dressed gorgeously, with unusually wide sleeves, she raised her sleeves, revealing a girl the size of a dead tree stump.

Seeing this scene, the village head was very surprised, he recognized the child, "This—"

Shui Lai said coldly: "I just picked it up, is it from your place?"

The village head subconsciously shook his head, "She is the girl of the Liu family in Jiaoshi Village next door."

There are five villages on Dongwang Island, and the villages intermarry with each other, so although this girl is not a villager of Hailuo Village, many villagers in Hailuo Village recognize her.When this girl's father went to sea in the early years, he met pirates, and there was no news. The family lived by picking up some seafood and digging wild things in the mountains.

Although Dongwang Island belongs to the Aolai country, in recent years, Aolai has been in civil strife, the government has been dispersed, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes have made the people miserable.

"Not long ago, the imperial court levied taxes, and the Liu family couldn't pay them, so they had to send their eldest son to do corvée. Now there are only orphans and widowed mothers left in the family. This child thought he was digging sea crabs here and fell into the sea cave. The two immortals saved it."

The so-called sea cave is a unique existence in the island. The rocks on the coast are corroded by sea water all the year round, and large and small caves are gradually formed over the years.In some places, the surface looks smooth, but in fact the bottom is riddled with holes, and if you accidentally fall, you will disappear in an instant.

In any case, there are traces of monks from other sects appearing in the dojo where I practice, and such things cannot be exposed anyway.

However, before Mu Qingfeng started to act, Shui Lai couldn't do it anymore. She found Mu Qingfeng and expressed her willingness to solve the matter of the corpse cave at the foot of the mountain by herself.

"No matter what the background of the person behind it is, if you don't get rid of it, it will cause trouble in the future. Leave this matter to me!"

Mu Qingfeng thought about it: "It's okay to leave it to you, but the person behind this is probably different, do you have clues?"

Shui Lai Ning frowned and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "I have a plan, but I'm afraid I will need your cooperation when the time comes."

"You talk about it first."

"There is a saying - beat the mountain drum, find a monster in the sea, put it at the entrance of the cave, disguise it as if it entered by mistake, so as to trigger the formation nearby, and the people behind the scenes will be alarmed when the formation is triggered. If the other party doesn't show up, drive the sea beast in and destroy a few corpse puppets. If you don't believe the other party won't come out. If the other party shows up according to the plan, he will definitely check the surrounding situation. When the time comes, he must come to visit us on the mountain. At that time, we will need you temporarily Leave, let me meet that person."

"This method is interesting, but which kind of sea beast can you think of? Let me remind you, the formation at the entrance of the cave is not only a hidden formation, but also a formation of extremely yin and five ghosts. This formation It can form a very strong cold air nearby, which is enough to deter most monsters from approaching."

Shui Lai did not think of this point, she thought for a while, "Why don't you catch someone and bring him back?"

Mu Qingfeng frowned and gave a suggestion, "When I passed there with you earlier, I noticed that there were many sea crabs nearby. Although these sea crabs are not monsters, they are not afraid of the cold power of the formation. Maybe you can try."

Sea crabs are ugly and have a ferocious temperament. Most villagers will not easily provoke them. Only poor people who have no livelihood and are willing to risk being bitten to catch these sea crabs for food.

The water came quickly, but no one appeared after a long time.Later, she couldn't bear it anymore, and simply caught a sea beast and threw it in.However, no progress has been made.

"Is the person who built this cave dead?"

The strategy failed, Shui Lai's face was a little ugly, and he complained to Mu Qingfeng unconsciously.

Suddenly, she stood up, "Since that person refuses to show up, I will destroy that place, so as not to cause another disaster in the future."

Mu Qingfeng glanced at her, wondering if it was because of the rift with Xue Yuyi, Shui Lai has been getting very close to him recently, as if he no longer cares about the grudges in Beihuangshan, "The matter of Lei Zhenzi, you seem to be Is there anything you want to ask me?"

When this matter was mentioned suddenly, Shui Lai's face suddenly changed, and he became silent.

"I heard that you have always wanted to find your uncle. Now that you have found it, why do you want to kill him? If I read correctly, the blood gu that he planted on you has been untied, and now you don't have to be controlled by him anymore. You don't have to continue to do things for me, you are free, why do you still stay here?"

"How do you know?" Shui Lai's face turned pale, and he retreated instinctively.

The more she contacts, the more she understands the coldness of the person in front of her. If she does something, she will definitely die.

"I've known since the two of you showed up here." Mu Qingfeng said calmly, "What are you afraid of? If I wanted to do something to you, why would I wait until now?"

"You really won't kill me?" Shui Lai's hanging heart dropped halfway.

The reason why the blood gu can be dispelled is because of the secret technique that the two of them used together before. Hanyu Mengying is a secret technique unique to the Xiaoyao School.

"That spell has some flaws," Shui Lai said with an unnatural expression, "In short, we live and die together, and now neither of us can do anything to each other. I won't lie to you, the restraining power you used on him before is now I also have the same constraints, and it is impossible for me to betray you."

At the end of speaking, a trace of resentment flashed across Shui Lai's face, but he hesitated to restrain him, and the resentment quickly disappeared.

Mu Qingfeng checked Zhu You's secret words, and sure enough, through Xue Yuyi, he had the power to control Shui Lai.Her messenger lifted the restriction on Shui Lai, but found that unless it was lifted together with Xue Yuyi, neither of them could be freed.

Mu Qingfeng has never encountered such a thing that a forbidden law can control two people at the same time. This is unexpected.
