Seven Demons

Chapter 18 Mysterious Events
In a fairly luxuriously decorated room, this is the west wing of the Beitang family in Huxuancheng. Because Chen Er saved Beitang Yi, Beitang Yi made Chen Er a guest of the Beitang family.Chen Er sat cross-legged inside, with a few pill bottles and a few spirit stones that had no spirit energy placed beside him.The reason for taking supplemental elixir is that Chen Er hardly rests these days, either spending his vitality to fly in the sky for a long time or experiencing a life-and-death duel.This kind of experience is similar to when the black-robed patriarch was just starting out. His cultivation base and strength were not very high back then, but in order to improve his actual combat experience, he often dueled with others in the realm of comprehension.

Every spirit stone contains aura, which is natural, just like the aura naturally produced between heaven and earth.Lingshi is divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade. The higher the spirit stone, the stronger the aura hidden in it.

Several middle-grade spirit stones have been completely absorbed by Chen Er and turned into ordinary stones, no longer crystal clear.

In the middle of the night, when the moon was high, everyone in Huxuan City had almost fallen asleep, but Chen Er had just recovered, so he had no intention of resting at this moment. The reason why Chen Er worked so hard was a habit in his previous life. The black-robed demon ancestor in Languo's comprehension world can have such a high level of cultivation and strength, in addition to talent and talent, it is more due to diligence.

Chen Er slightly recalled the experiences of these days, it can be described as thrilling.From the beginning, he found the red ghost's betrayal, and then seized the house, and experienced Cang Tianhai's seizure of the house, as well as the robbing of the fire ganoderma and the duel with the fat boss.Every time is almost a life-and-death line, narrowly escaped.The ultimate reason for this is that he is not strong enough, and he just offended a member of the Great Cultivation Family in Huxuan City during the day.It seems that he has to improve his strength as soon as possible, and he can't rely on the Beitang family for the rest of his life.

Chen Er took out a storage bag from his clothes, which he picked up from Cang Tianhai's body at that time.Chen Er rotated his dantian slightly, instilling a trace of vitality.Suddenly the storage bag was opened.Then pour out the contents.

"Crackling!" A large pile of spirit stones fell to the ground, some of which were middle-grade and top-grade.There are also some other items.

Among these complicated things, Chen Er saw a small iron cage that he had seen before.He picked up the small iron cage and observed it: "This is how Cang Tianhai subdued the red ghost with the shrouding iron chain formation that day. Being able to take down the red ghost, it seems that the power of this formation is not small!"

Chen Er continued to search among a lot of things, and he found a dilapidated jade slip.After injecting some vitality, the jade slip disappeared in Chen Er's hands immediately, and a series of information in the jade slip was imported into Chen Er's mind.It is about the cultivation and casting methods of the shrouding iron chain formation.

"Shrouded Iron Lock Formation, founded by the first generation head of Songyun Sword Sect, is dominated by metal, wood, water, fire, earth and five elements, and the small iron cage is the main body. As long as the performer holds the small iron cage, he can control the iron chain, and the iron chain Requires a very hard metal body."

After Chen Er recited it in his mind, he knew all about the method of enveloping the iron chain formation. He observed the small iron cage and said: "The main body is here, and the only thing missing now is a hard metal rope." Chen Er Er searched the storage bag again, but did not find the metal chain: "Could it be that the metal rope that bound the red ghost last time was the last one? I walked too fast last time, so I didn't get it off the red ghost. What should I do now? Is that good? Without a metal rope, the main conductor of the iron cage is useless. It seems that we have to find a way to get a rope."

Another day passed quietly in a trance, Chen Er did not lie down, but sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated all night, and a lot of internal scriptures gathered in his mind.Dawn broke the quiet night, and the people of Huxuan City went out early. On the streets of the city, many vendors had already come out to grab the stalls, and many shops also opened to welcome the new day's business.

"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the door: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen is awake at this moment?"

Chen Er didn't sleep at all. He opened his eyes and heard that the voice was from Bei Tang Yi: "It's Bei Tang Yi! Please come in quickly!"

Bei Tangyi was also polite, and immediately pushed the door open and walked in, and cupped his hands with a smile on his face as soon as he came in: "After looking at it today, fellow daoist looks much better, compared to these pills, the vitality in fellow daoist's body has been restored. Haha, I have good news for you. Thank you for helping me get the fire ganoderma. After taking it, the old lady has fully recovered in less than a day. This morning, the old lady wants to thank you in person. Brother Chen, come with me Go see the old lady!"

Chen Er rubbed his nose and thought: Last time I heard him say that the old lady was seriously injured and in danger?Why does it take only one day? The medicinal effect of Fire Ganoderma lucidum is so strange!
The Beitang mansion is very large, with rockery and gardens everywhere, and many small buildings, pavilions everywhere. Chen Er sighed inwardly: Compared with those great sects, these aristocratic cultivation families live in too luxurious a life.The two walked around the mansion for a long time before arriving at the hall of Beitang's house.

The hall is very spacious and magnificent inside. A solemn old woman in a phoenix robe is sitting in the upper hall. She is holding hot tea in one hand and savoring it carefully. Feng Yinzhang next to him stood up: "Yi'er, this is Chen Er! I have seen Chen Er before, and today I am able to stand up again thanks to the help of my little friend Chen Er, so I, Yier, can get the Fire Ganoderma lucidum!"

Beitang Xiyan was standing next to the old matriarch. Although she was a typical unruly young lady, she seemed like a small bird in front of the old matriarch. She pouted her mouth and murmured slightly: "Hmph! What's the big deal?" , he is just taking the sheep by the hand!"

Beitang Xiyan's voice was extremely low, and the people in the hall were all cultivators, so she could hear her words clearly. Although Chen Er was a little embarrassed, he deliberately pretended that he didn't hear anything and cupped his hands towards the old lady: " That fat boss' behavior is too despicable, I just can't stand it, if Miss Beitang was there that day, she definitely wouldn't stand idly by when she saw that kind of situation!"

Beitang Xiyan puffed her chest out: "Of course!"

"Haha, little friend Chen Er has such a heart at such a young age, I really admire him." Tai Laojun thought for a while and then said: "Listen to Yi'er, little friend is not from my country of Yue, but from Lan country? I don't know if this is true?"

Chen Er also made no secret of it: "That's right, when I come out of your country, I will ask the old lady to take care of me in the future."

Bei Tangyi on the side patted him on the shoulder: "Second Brother Chen, what are you talking about? From now on, you and I will treat each other as one family regardless of each other!"

Beitang Xiyan pouted and muttered: "Who is with his family!"

Bei Tangyi's face was solemn: "Grandma, what happened to you when you went to Wanpo Valley last time? Is there anyone in Huxuan City who can hurt you?"

Hearing this, Chen Er carefully looked at the old matriarch sitting in the high hall, and saw that her words and deeds were very bold, it seems that this old lady's cultivation base is not low!It is really admirable to be the head of this huge Beitang family.

The old matriarch sighed: "The incident this time is very strange. Some of the cultivators passing by in Wanpo Valley recently have rumors that there are always strange phenomena, and there are people who mysteriously disappeared there. The old man is full of curiosity. Zhixin originally wanted to investigate Wanpo Valley! Unexpectedly, I discovered a shocking secret!"

Having said that, all the people in the hall looked serious, and Bei Tangyi immediately asked: "Grandma, tell us quickly, what exactly did you find?"

The old lady said slowly: "I was flying in the sky that day, but found a dark aura floating out of a canyon, so I landed and went down to check, but found a formation that I had never seen before! And when I When I got close to the formation, my soul was suddenly shocked, if I hadn't retreated in time that day, I'm afraid my life would have been handed over to that canyon?"

Both Beitang Yi and Beitang Xiyan were puzzled, and Bei Tangyi asked, "Can it shock grandma's soul? What kind of formation is that?"

Chen Er suddenly said this time: "There can only be one explanation. There is nothing wrong with the formation. It can shock the soul of the old lady. There must be a very powerful soul in the mysterious formation."

The old matriarch nodded: "Young friend Chen Er is very knowledgeable, it is true!"

The old matriarch was a well-known master in Huxuan City, and he was able to shock the old matriarch with a mysterious soul, and almost killed her. One can imagine how terrifying the soul of the really mysterious formation is.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a large blue robe suddenly walked in from the door of the hall: "Old Madam, the secrets of Wanpo Valley have been spread everywhere outside, and I am afraid that several other families in the city are already going to do it." Already!"

The old matriarch's face was slightly surprised, and then he calmed down: "Mr. Wu, sit down! Wanpo Valley is the only way to Huxuan City. It is impossible to keep this secret forever. As for the movements of other families, you don't have to Don’t ask, just let them go! The horror of the mysterious canyon, if they go there, they will die!”

Bei Tangyi couldn't sit still this time, he asked again: "Grandma, whose soul is that?"

The old matriarch let out a long breath: "I'm not sure who it is, but there is a clue that can be speculated. Do you still remember the legend of our Huxuan City for more than 1000 years? It is said that our Huxuan City was extremely prosperous back then, and we also had digital nodes. A strong man in the Dan period, but suddenly a nightmare came, and a mysterious demon came from Languo on the other side of the Hundred Thousand Mountains! This person is bloodthirsty, and after he came to Huxuan City, he killed innocent people without any scruples, which led to the end of the year. All those above the alchemy stage will die under the clutches of this demon!"

Speaking of this, Chen Er suddenly remembered something, and he asked immediately: "Old Madam, are you sure it was 1000 years ago?"

The old lady nodded her head in affirmation.

At this time, Elder Wu also said: "That's right. Many people in Huxuan City have heard of this legend. As for the truth and falsehood, I'm afraid it's impossible to verify it now. Little friend, do you know the details of this matter?"

"1000 years ago, that's right." Chen Er has lived nearly 1000 years in Languo, and is no stranger to the rumors 1000 years ago: "1000 years ago in our Languo was called the prehistoric period. There is a fierce demon! Known as the Lord of Purgatory. The rumors in our place are: the Lord of Purgatory was born in the devil way and ruled the cultivation world of Languo for hundreds of years. After that, the righteous sect flourished and gave birth to many powerful people. The demon lord was alone, and the battle lasted for seven days. In the end, the purgatory demon lord killed six opponents and was seriously injured, but no one knows the final result. Some people say that the purgatory demon lord died that year, but there is no evidence of his death, because there is no evidence Seeing his corpse, some people said that he was still alive! Anyway, there are always different opinions, but one thing is certain, in the past [-] years, there has never been a Purgatory Demon King in the cultivation world of Languo!"

As soon as the name of the Purgatory Demon Lord was spoken, the Venomous Heart Snake wrapped around Chen Er's waist suddenly reacted. It exuded a faint cold air, and wrapped around Chen Er's waist even closer. Chen Er knew very well, The Venomous Heart Snake is an evil dark dragon, it can understand human speech, and the Lord of Purgatory was the master of the evil dark dragon back then.Hearing the master's news, how could the evil dark dragon not be excited.

"Purgatory Demon Lord, Purgatory Demon Lord, so this legend is true!" The old matriarch muttered twice, and then ordered: "Mr. Wu, immediately send more people to Wanpo Valley, and report back immediately if there is any movement." !Yi'er, Yan'er, you just stay in Huxuan City, and I'm afraid there will be big fluctuations in the near future."

As for the matter related to the Purgatory Demon Lord, Chen Er also clearly felt that there would definitely be no peace in the near future.
