Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 471: The Source of the Gu (Read in 1 hour)

"Gushu? What kind of weird method is this?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, subconsciously thinking of the witchcraft that had infected the four-tailed fox before.

"This Gu technique is combined with ghost technique to invade and devour the soul. It is difficult for the person to detect the poison. If the soul lamps of our disciples had not dimmed in large numbers, we would not have discovered it in time."

After a pause, Jin Feng frowned and continued:
"The first ones were disciples who were out on missions, and later on, disciples stationed in various places also encountered attacks."

"Now, except for those who cannot leave, all the other elders of the sect have been sent out for inspection."

"But so far, we haven't found out where the source came from. The appearance of this witchcraft is really strange."

Chen Yuan paused for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Is this the only situation that occurs in our sect?"

Just as Jin Feng was about to speak, a sword shadow flashed over and the figure of Zhao Kuo with a paralyzed face appeared.

He first nodded to Jin Feng, then looked at Chen Yuan and said:
"Recently, many disciples in Tianjian Mountain have been hit by strange witchcraft. Mingjue Sword Master, based on his sword heart perception, said that the source of the witchcraft is in the Beast Taming Sect. Let me take a look."

"The source is in our Beast Taming Sect?" Jin Feng was stunned for a moment: "Did Daoist Mingjue sense it correctly?"

"Before coming here, I went to Qingyang Taoist Temple. Tongguang said that Brother Chen should know the reason for this matter."

Zhao Kuo said lightly, but there was some doubt in his eyes when he looked at Chen Yuan.

Do I know why?
Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Follow me."

After saying this, he took Zhao Kuo and Jin Feng and moved away.

In the blink of an eye, three figures appeared outside the town of Qingyu Plain.

Zhao Kuo and Jin Feng looked around with a little curiosity, while Chen Yuan extended his spiritual sense to look at Luohua Mingwan in the city.

However, the aura of the cultivators in Luohua Mingwan did not drop, but they were all listless without realizing it.

Among them, Zhao Yuesheng had the most serious condition. His eye sockets were sunken and he looked very tired.

really.

Chen Yuan thought to himself, and then reached out to Luohua Mingwan.

The next moment, all of Luohua Mingwan's people were moved outside the city, looking around with surprise.

The one who reacted the fastest was the head of the sect, Li Fengran. After all, he had been moved by Chen Yuan last time. After a moment of hesitation, he looked up at Chen Yuan and the other two, and hurriedly clasped his hands and said:

"I am from the lower sect, Li Fengran, and I am honored to meet you, Ling Zun."

Among the three people, he only recognized Chen Yuan. He had never seen Jin Feng and Zhao Kuo before, so he had to bow to them.

With him taking the lead, the other members of Luohua Mingwan also hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Chen Yuan stared at the aging Li Fengran and shook his head slightly.
"Master Li, you are dying."

Hearing this, Li Fengran was startled, and looked at him with fear:
"I don't know what I did wrong to cause the Spiritual Master's displeasure. Please tell me. I will change my ways. I hope the Spiritual Master will spare my life."

"It's not that I want to kill you, but that everyone in your sect is under the spell of Gu without knowing it."

Chen Yuan shook his head:
"You don't have much time left to live. If you remove the poison, you will die on the spot."

"Except for you, the poison in Zhao Yuesheng's body has already corroded more than half of his soul, so there is no hope for him."

"what?!"

Zhao Yuesheng, who looked exhausted, screamed out, and then said in disbelief:
"But Lingzun, the Sect Master and I have never left the sect during this period of time, and the disciples in the sect have all been law-abiding and have never provoked any evil cultivators. How could this be possible..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sword shadow hanging behind Zhao Kuo suddenly disappeared, and then black and white sword lights suddenly burst out from the bodies of Luohua Mingwan's disciples.

The black and white sword light did not hurt their bodies, but passed through them like a phantom.

But as they passed through, a fat, wriggling poisonous insect was found stuck on the blade of each sword.

These poisonous insects are similar to the black and white sword shadows, they have no physical form but are visible to the naked eye.

Now they were "forked" out by the sword light, and after squirming and struggling for a moment, they were annihilated by the black and white sword light.

As for the disciples of Luohua Mingwan who had been rid of the poisonous insects, their aura had greatly decreased and they also felt as if their souls were empty.

As cultivators, they knew that these poisonous insects had been in their souls before and were of the same origin as them.

It not only devours their souls, but also devours their cultivation to strengthen itself.

Therefore, their breath has never dropped, but they are becoming more and more tired.

They were shocked and frightened, and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Jin Feng coughed and said, "Why don't you thank Sword Master Zhao Kuo for removing the poisonous insects for you?"

Hearing this, the disciples of Luohua Mingwan who had been freed from the poisonous insects woke up as if from a dream, and they all bowed to Zhao Kuo in gratitude:
"Thank you, Sword Master Zhao Kuo, for your help."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and looked at Li Fengran and Zhao Yuesheng.

These two people are just as Chen Yuan said. Li Fengran already has not much time left to live. If the poison that has invaded his soul is removed, it would be equivalent to taking away half of his life.

In addition, given his current condition, removing the poison would be tantamount to killing him.

The poison planted by Zhao Yuesheng was the most serious. The poison had completely penetrated into her soul, making it fat and ugly.

If it is removed, the person will die on the spot.

Under the expectant gazes of the two men, he shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Fengran's eyes turned black and he almost fainted. He said with tears streaming down his face:

"I have been away from worldly affairs for thirty-seven years, hoping to enjoy my old age, but who would have thought that disaster would strike me while I was still at home!"

Zhao Yuesheng was not much better. She had a long life span, but now she was going to die inexplicably. She was filled with resentment, anger and helplessness. After laughing neurotically twice, she screamed crazily:

"Who is so vicious to do such a cruel thing to me? I curse you to die miserably!"

"No need to curse, it's your niece Zhao Qing."

Chen Yuan frowned and said this, and soon he figured out the cause and effect.

That day, he took Zhao Yuesheng's blood essence to seek divination from Taoist Master Tongguang. Taoist Master Tongguang failed to divine Zhao Qing's location, and instead turned the hexagram formed by the blood essence into a ghost face.

Because Taoist Tongguang had a rare treasure, he avoided the backlash from the ghost face.

The ghost face seemed to disappear between heaven and earth on the spot, but in fact it followed the bloodline and came to Zhao Qing's head.

In this case, apart from the evil cultivator who first attacked the four-tailed fox, the subsequent witchcraft may be blamed on Chen Yuan.

When Zhao Yuesheng heard that it was Zhao Qing who caused it, his expression twisted as he asked, "Why did she do that?"

"How have I, Luohua Mingwan, ever done anything wrong to her that this young man could be so vicious?!" Li Fengran cried out in grief.

"I don't know what kind of opportunity Zhao Qing has got now, I only know that she has transformed into a Gu mother, which seems to be quite extraordinary."

After a pause, Chen Yuan looked at Zhao Yuesheng and asked, "Does your Zhao family still have bloodline left in the mortal world?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuesheng's face changed slightly, and he woke up from his crazy state: "Yes."

"Go and have a look, but it's best not to get your hopes up."

"Is she going to exterminate all her blood relatives?!"

Fear and anger flashed in Zhao Yuesheng's eyes, and then he set up a light and flew to the west of Qingyu Plain.

"Master Li, the poison in your body has grown into a serious condition. Even if it is not removed, you will not be able to live for many days. Make a decision as soon as possible, or the poison will follow your bloodline and harm your descendants."

After a pause, he added:
"I suggest you settle the affairs of the sect as soon as possible and come to the Beast Taming Sect. Then I can give your descendants a magic pill."

Chen Yuan, feeling guilty, gave the instructions and then turned into a beam of light and followed Zhao Yuesheng.

Zhao Kuo followed without saying a word, while Jin Feng shook his head:

"Your life span is indeed too short, and Lan Xin's Xuanshui Huihui Dan can't save you. Just follow Chen Yuan's advice. After all, you are under the command of my Beast Taming Sect, and I won't just watch you get into trouble." Hearing this, although Li Fengran still didn't know Jin Feng's identity, he guessed that he was a Return to Void master of the Beast Taming Sect, and said with a bitter face, "I'm not going to do that.

"Thank you Spirit Master."

Jin Feng sighed, turned into golden light and chased after Chen Yuan and the others.

Soon, he caught up with Chen Yuan and Zhao Kuo. Looking at Zhao Yuesheng who was leading the way, he said puzzledly:
"She flies so slowly, why don't you take her with you?"

"We can't remove the poison in her body. I'll feel sick if I keep her with me." Chen Yuan said dimly.

Zhao Kuo nodded silently to show his understanding.

"As for that, if you don't look at her, then..."

Jin Feng said this with a slightly amused tone, and his eyes happened to meet the fat poisonous creature in Zhao Yuesheng's soul.

Just one glance and he was silenced.

The three of them followed Zhao Yuesheng silently, but none of them looked at Zhao Yuesheng.

After flying for nearly half an hour, Zhao Yuesheng, who had reached the Golden Core stage, finally arrived in front of a secular town.

Before she landed in the city, she heard Chen Yuan's voice:

"I advise you not to go in."

Zhao Yuesheng trembled all over, turned his head with a pale face and said:
"Spiritual Master, my Zhao family is..."

"Zhao's house in the west of the city has become a den of poison. There is no one alive in the house, only poisonous creatures."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuesheng's eyes turned red, and he said to himself in confusion:
"Why, why did she do this? How did the sect and the clan wrong her that she would be so vicious?"

After mumbling to herself, she looked back at the town blankly.

After watching for a while, she suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed it into her dantian, digging out a golden pill.

Looking at the outline of the Gu insect on the golden elixir, she turned around with a sad smile, holding the pill in both hands and presented it to Chen Yuan:

"Spiritual Master, if you meet Zhao Qing in the future, can you use this golden elixir to ask her why she did this?"

Chen Yuan sighed inwardly, nodded, took the golden elixir in front of him, sealed it with a ban, and put it in a storage bag separately.

"Thank you Spirit Master."

Zhao Yuesheng thanked her, and then the spiritual power in her body rebounded, cutting off her own life.

If she fails to enter the Nascent Soul stage, her body will be destroyed and she will die without even the chance to possess another body.

The poisonous insect in her soul roared unwillingly, but it could do nothing and could only die with Zhao Yuesheng.

At this time, Jin Feng waved his hand casually, and Zhao Yuesheng's body was lifted up by the breeze and fell down.

The wind blade cut a deep pit on the ground, and after Zhao Yuesheng's body fell, the soil quickly buried it.

"After all, you are under the command of my Beast Taming Sect. It would be bad to leave your body exposed in the wilderness."

After Jin Feng said this, Chen Yuan said:

"The poison transformed by the Zhao family should be the source of the spread of the poison."

"These poisonous creatures specifically seek out cultivators to devour. I can understand why they look down on ordinary people, but I still don't understand one thing."

"What's the matter?" Jin Feng asked curiously, and Zhao Kuo also glanced sideways.

"Did the Zhao residence become a den of poisonous insects after I used Zhao Yuesheng's blood to divine, or did it start before that?"

Jin Feng didn't understand the whole story, so he said in confusion:
"Anyway, we know the source is Zhao Qing. What's the difference between the two?"

"There is a difference." Chen Yuan said with a slightly gloomy look:
"Before I asked Zhao Yuesheng to seek divination from Tongguang, a fox spirit and its partner in my Fox Mountain were attacked by this kind of witchcraft."

"If the one who attacked the spirit fox that day was a poisonous creature transformed by the Zhao family, then everything would be fine."

"But if the attacker is not a poisonous creature transformed by the Zhao family, then it means that in addition to this Zhao residence, Zhao Qing has other means to spread the poisonous creature, and the source is not just this one."

After hearing this, Jin Feng and Zhao Kuo also understood, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little curious about Zhao Qing.

Chen Yuan saw what they were thinking and immediately told them everything he knew about Zhao Qing.

After listening, Jin Feng stroked his chin and said:
"So, Zhao Qing must have gotten some benefit in some secret cave realm. Not only did he not die, but he turned a disaster into a blessing."

"How can we find her?" Zhao Kuo went straight to the heart of the matter.

After all, as long as the mother poison is killed, all the poisonous insects will die.

"I have never left a mark on her, and Tongguang cannot predict it either. We can only destroy the current poison first and ask the disciples to take precautions in the future until she shows up on her own."

As Chen Yuan spoke, his mind moved and the divine light of fire and sun suddenly bloomed in the Zhao residence.

In an instant, the entire Zhao residence was reduced to ashes, and even the bricks, tiles and stones were burned into glazed tiles.

But this terrifying high temperature did not spread beyond Zhao's residence and did not affect other ordinary people in the city.

"Go back first."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he looked at Zhao Kuo and Jin Feng, asking for their opinions.

Jin Feng laughed:
"Although it's not completely solved, it has at least removed one of the sources. You guys go back first. I have something else to do."

After saying this, he transformed into a long blue-gold rainbow and flew towards the direction of Qifeng City.

This guy is really obsessed with Fairy Yi Miao.

Chen Yuan complained in his heart, and then looked at Zhao Kuo.

"Let's eat the magical food you cooked and call Hu Niu along." Zhao Kuo said in a simple and shocking manner.

"it is good."

Chen Yuan grinned and agreed, and on the way back to the Beast Taming Sect, he captured a few flat-feathered birds as food.

When they found Hu Niu in the Spirit Beast Mountains, they discovered that she was guarding a cenotaph.

After Zhao Kuo and he went forward to light a stick of incense, he pulled them into the Sumeru Pearl.

With the help of the golden-eyed red dragon to take care of the "vegetable garden", coupled with a few flat-feathered birds photographed by Chen Yuan on the road, it wasn't long before the Sumeru Pearl was filled with fragrance.

"Hah!"

A panting sound was heard, and Hu Niu's eyes widened as she breathed out the spicy air:

"You two, don't use sword intent to find meat!"

"Then you are not allowed to use your spiritual sense, hissing."

"Yes, sssssss."

······
After a spicy hot pot meal, the three of them sat on the spirit vein and chatted for a while.

In the end, the chat ended with Hu Niu expressing her dissatisfaction that the other two had already entered the stage of Return to Void while she was the only one still in the late stage of Transformation of the Spirit.

After getting the Xumi Pearl, Huniu hummed and took out two jade slips and gave them to them:
"This is the latest painting technique I have mastered. I haven't given it to the sect yet. You can use it to your heart's content."

"Okay, I'll prepare more meat for you next time. No, no, you should go find the meat yourself and I'll be responsible for cooking."

Chen Yuan didn't even say thank you, but instead asked Hu Niu to find the meat herself next time.

"Next time I'm going to eat a cow! You prepare it for me, or I'll beat you!"

Huniu raised her fist, and Zhao Kuo curled his lips slightly: "One is not enough."
