Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 247 Speculations about ghost curses

 “Naturally...”

 Chen Yulou subconsciously wanted to answer.

 But when he faced Hua Ling's hot and red face, he came back to his senses.

 It does not seem appropriate for a man and a woman to live together in the same room.

 He doesn't care, but the flower spirit still needs to be in the boudoir.

Moreover, the eye marks from the outbreak of ghost curses are either on the back of the neck or on the vest. If you want to see them clearly, you must be honest with them.

"How about we go down the mountain first and let Miss Hong take a look at it, so that we can make a better judgment."

 “No, no need.”

Hua Ling bit her lip and seemed to have made some decision, but her voice was like a gnat, so slight that it was almost inaudible.

"What?"

It is precisely because he clearly knows the horror of the erythema curse.

 Only Chen Yulou proposed to see it with his own eyes.

 It was completely out of haste and was definitely not intentional.

 That’s why I rushed to find a replacement.

 However, Hua Ling's words were obviously beyond his expectations, so that he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but look a little strange.

 “Submit authority in urgent matters.”

 Hua Ling lowered her head.

 Hurry towards the tent not far away.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou didn't understand why. He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and turned to look at the bluestone where he had practiced before.

 After Luofu sent people here.

He then kept combing the colorful feathers on his body.

"Luofu, take care of your surroundings. If there is any movement, notify me immediately."

 Leave an instruction.

Without further delay, Chen Yulou turned around and walked towards the camp.

  Occasionally you can see a few snowflakes in the night.

 It came with the wind from the snow line of Tianshan Mountain.

 The cold wind blowing from the Pulei Sea is mixed with a bit of fishy smell. It is no wonder that southern Yunnan and the Western Regions are always accustomed to calling large rivers, lakes and lakes the sea.

 Walked past several tents in a row.

There are a few people accompanying me tonight, except for the two brothers, the Partridge Sentinel Master.

 There are also Kunlun and Yang Fang.

However, the four of them are still immersed in trance at this moment, listening to their breathing levels, and it is estimated that it will not end for a while.

Seeing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

 After all, a man and a woman live alone in the same room.

 In case of being misunderstood, it will be difficult to explain.

 A moment later, Chen Yulou stood outside his tent, with a rare hint of nervousness on his face.

　　It is hard to imagine that shopkeeper Chen, who has taken over Changsheng Mountain since he was a teenager and has stolen countless treasures from princes and princes throughout his life, would be so worried when facing a little girl.

“Junior sister Hua Ling, am I coming in?”

The hand that went to lift the curtain hesitated for a moment, but chose to knock on the door first.

"good."

Hua Ling's pretendingly calm voice came.

　　However, that slight tremor exposed her emotions completely.

 Chen Yulou didn’t think much about it.

only…

As soon as he lowered the thick curtain to block out the cold wind and the sound of water, the moment he stood still and raised his head, his pupils subconsciously shrank slightly.

 Under dim light.

 A tall and frail figure stood pretty.

The robe outside her body has been taken off, and the white undergarment has been pulled down a bit.

 Revealing a piece of skin as white as snow.

 Hua Ling lowered her face, closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes were still trembling slightly, and she bit her lips tightly with her teeth, showing the girl's shyness and reserve in every detail.

“Chen, Brother Chen, have you... seen it?”

I saw no movement behind me.

Hua Ling’s eyes couldn’t help but blink slightly, but in the end she didn’t dare to look back and just asked softly.

 “Oh...I’m watching.”

 Chen Yulou suddenly came back to his senses.

 Looking away from the white and glowing skin. e

 Finally it landed between Hua Ling’s left shoulder and the back of her neck.

A red mark shaped like an eyeball appeared clearly in the light. It looked like it had been tortured and burned with a red-hot iron.

 “It’s really…”

 The moment I saw it.

 Chen Yulou frowned tightly.

 About the curse mark, he has read many descriptions in books. During his previous trip to Zhelong Mountain, he also saw similar totems many times in the tomb of King Xian.

  But this is the first time it has been seen in humans.

That red spot seemed like a demon, emerging from the flesh and staring directly at him.

 Chen Yulou's face changed slightly, feeling indescribable discomfort.

 But when I looked at it again, the strange feeling disappeared again, and it seemed that everything just now was just an illusion.

“Okay, Junior Sister Hualing, put on your clothes and don’t catch a cold.”

 Sighed secretly.

 Chen Yulou forcibly looked away and said softly.

When he surrounded and killed the six-winged centipede in Pingshan, Partridge Whistle was injured and his energy and blood surged. Although he reacted very quickly and swallowed most of the blood, there was still a trace of blood left at the corner of his mouth.

 Golden blood.

That was the first time he saw the final consequences of the evil curse.

 This is the first time he has seen the appearance of a ghost curse.

While he was pondering, Hua Ling had already picked up the cashmere robe on the side and put it on, wrapping her delicate body tightly.

 Pulehai is no better than a restaurant in the city.

 Their residences have fire pits to provide warmth.

Even if the snow is falling like rain outside and the wind is biting, you still can't feel how cold it is. But here, the tent can only cover the howling wind, but the icy cold air is everywhere.

 It made the tent feel as cold as an ice cellar.

　　Too much energy and blood had been consumed when I arrived.

 If it lasts for a long time, there is a real possibility of catching a cold.

 “Hua Ling, how long has it... appeared?”

 Seeing her turn around, Chen Yulou asked immediately.

“It really started to show up on the back of my neck tonight, but I think it’s been a while since it started appearing.”

Facing Chen Yulou’s eyes that were as clear as water and without any distracting thoughts, Hua Ling calmed down and responded softly.

“Does it start from Hexi?”

 After thinking for a moment, Chen Yulou reported a time.

 “Brother Chen, how do you know?”

 Chen Yulou shook his head and was not in a hurry to explain.

　　It was easy to tell from Hua Ling's tone that her judgment was not wrong.

 The timeline he gave seemed random and without thought, but it perfectly corresponded to his guess.

 The curse of the snake **** is indeed overbearing.

 Just a glimpse, and it lasted for thousands of years, bringing catastrophe to the ethnic group.

 But it is not really unsolvable.

 Over a thousand years, the descendants of Zagrama continued to migrate eastward, which was actually a way.

The further away you are from the ghost cave, the less affected you will be by the ghost curse.

So in the original work, Partridge Whistle, who wanted to understand everything but was frustrated, followed Thomas across the ocean and went abroad. It was clear that his curse had broken out at that time, and he even vomited golden blood many times, but he still lived into his old age.

 They are separated by thousands of miles and countless oceans.

　　No matter how terrifying the snake **** is, he cannot travel across the entire world to suppress him.

 When they were in Xiangyin, they were not affected by ghost curses because they were practicing Taoism and were suppressed by their true energy.

 But this trip goes as far as the Kunlun Mountains.

 It means that we are approaching the ghost cave every moment.

 The power of the snake god’s curse is naturally increasing.

"hold on."

 “Your senior brother, they should be finished soon.”

After thinking about all this, Chen Yulou breathed out secretly and comforted Hua Ling.

"okay."

Hearing this, Hua Ling didn’t dare to ask further questions, so she just nodded in confusion and agreed.

 In order to prevent her from being too embarrassed.

Chen Yulou made an excuse at random, opened the door curtain and walked out.

 Not long.

 In the silent camp, there was finally movement.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner walked out of their respective tents one after another.

 “Senior brother!”

"Hua Ling? Why are you here?" He originally saw Chen Yulou standing alone by the lake with his hands behind his hands. Partridge Whistle still wanted to say hello, but he turned around in shock when a familiar voice came.

 At a glance, he saw the junior sister standing outside the tent.

 “Did something happen?”

“Junior sister, why are you here alone?”

The old foreigner who heard the commotion also rushed over. Seeing that she was alone, a trace of worry flashed across his face.

 “No, no.”

 Hua Ling shook her head.

 There is no time to explain more.

 The red spot curse is briefly described.

"how come?!"

Hearing her say that eyeball erythema appeared on her body, Partridge Whistle felt like being struck by lightning.

 He has worked hard for half his life.

I just want my junior brothers and sisters to not have to make the same mistakes as previous clan members.

 He is over thirty years old.

 It is understandable that the curse broke out early.

 But Hua Ling was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was successful in cultivation. He was only one step slower than him in entering the Qi training stage. Why did the ghost curse still break out?

"Not appropriate."

“Cultivation to suppress curses is a method found by the ancestors of the clan. How could it go wrong?”

Partridge Whistle’s face was full of disbelief.

 The practice of spiritual practice has been verified in him.

 He really couldn’t understand why it was useless to his junior sister.

 “Brother Dao!”

 Just when he was feeling confused.

 A calm voice came.

 “The outcome is uncertain, so you must not mess up your position.”

Partridge Whistle had a bitter look on his face. If it were anything else, he would never be worried at all. But when it came to a curse and it happened to his little junior sister, how could he calm down?

 Seeing this, Chen Yulou could understand.

 Just patted him on the shoulder and turned his eyes to the side.

 “Old foreigner brother, have you noticed anything wrong recently?”

As soon as these words came out, Partridge Whistle's heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked up.

 Junior sister is a foregone conclusion. If something happens to the old foreigner again, he really can't imagine it.

"I?"

 The old foreigner was startled.

To be honest, he had been suffering from inexplicable heart palpitations during this period, but he just thought it was because he was too tired from the journey and didn't take it seriously.

 But tonight at the lake, just entering meditation took several times the time as usual.

 “Undress.”

 Looking at his expression, Chen Yulou probably had an idea.

　　If there is any further delay, speak up immediately.

Seeing his solemn expression, the old foreigner also knew that the situation was urgent, and ignored the cold wind howling by the lake. He took off his jacket and cotton lining in a few moments, exposing his upper body, and turned his back to the group of people.

 By the light of the fire in the tent in the camp.

 Chen Yulou looked attentively.

 Same position.

 Left shoulder down.

 A red spot shaped like an eyeball appeared.

The moment he saw it, Partridge Whistle felt a buzz in his head, strong dizziness and tinnitus, which made him feel like he was in a quagmire and everything was stagnant. He even felt the cold wind blowing across his face like a knife. Less than.

"how come?"

 “It shouldn’t be like this.”

Partridge Whistle's eyes seemed to have lost focus for a moment, his eyes were empty, and he kept repeating in a low voice.

 The fear of being suppressed.

 At this moment, I burst out again from the depths of my heart.

I thought that after entering the country for cultivation and finding the legendary Muchen Bead, the curse that had plagued the tribe for thousands of years would no longer be a problem.

 And this trip started.

 It made him full of expectations.

But he never expected that everything was ready, except for the last step, but something happened at this level.

 “Brother Dao, maybe it has happened to you too.”

I have seen red spots on the bodies of old foreigners.

 Chen Yulou has confirmed 90%.

Looking at Partridge Whistle, who had a slumped face and dull eyes, he suddenly said calmly.

"I?"

“Yes, the reappearance of the curse is no accident. If you don’t believe it, just take off your clothes and take a look.”

Hearing this, Partridge Whistle finally had a little light in his gloomy eyes.

Without any hesitation, he quickly took off his robe.

 Sure enough.

 It was not as expected by Chen Yulou.

 On his left shoulder, a clearer eyeball pattern seemed to be about to emerge from the body at any time.

"this…"

 Seeing his and the reactions of his juniors and sisters.

Even though he couldn't see what was happening behind him, Partridge Whistle understood the changes that had happened to him.

The ghost curse that broke out on the junior sister's body can be said to be a special case.

 But the old foreigners and themselves are all without exception.

 This is by no means an accident.

You should know that after Pingshan swallowed the golden elixir and entered the practice, he specifically looked in the mirror and the red spots almost disappeared.

“Brother Chen, please give me some advice.”

Partridge Whistle's mind was too confused at the moment and he couldn't calm down at all.

 But Chen Yulou was calm and composed from beginning to end.

 Based on his understanding of the other party.

 Must be some guesswork.

 Hearing what the senior brother said, Hua Ling and the old foreigner both looked over at the same time.

“Chen is just guessing for the time being.”

Chen Yulou naturally would not make an assertion without hesitation. Instead, he humbled himself first and then spoke slowly.

 Wait for the last word from him.

The three brothers and sisters, Partridge Whistle Master, were all deep in thought.

“It’s not impossible. The prophet in the tribe had predicted that the way to salvation was in the east.”

"Perhaps...he just saw something in the dark."

　　It has been a long time.

 The partridge whistle opened its mouth to break the silence.

Except for him.

No one knows that the Zagrama clan was once called the Prophet clan.

 It is because the prophets in the clan have the ability to predict the future.

It wasn't until they migrated from a distant continent to the foot of Zagrama Mountain and peeked into the bottomless ghost cave that everything became like this.

 The prophetic ability disappears.

 Only a terrible curse remains.

“Since Brother Dao agrees, you can rest assured.”

"good…"

Partridge Whistle nodded.

However, speaking of peace of mind, in fact, it is impossible to completely let go of one's mind.

 Wait until Kunlun and Yang Fang wake up from trance.

The group no longer wanted to spend the night by the lake, and returned to the city from the mountain overnight.

 Early the next morning.

 The sky is getting brighter.

 A long camel team set off from Kunmo City.

 On this supply trip, in addition to replacing horses with camels, they also brought countless grains, enough to support them across the Black Desert.

 After staying for so many days, raising food is also an important reason.

 The sky has been clear for a few days.

 Thick lead clouds are densely packed.

 Like fish scales.

 Experienced people will know it at a glance.

 This is a sign of the coming snowstorm.

Kunmo City will soon experience a heavy snowfall.

But no one could wait any longer, especially when the Red Spot Curse reappeared. It was like an invisible mountain pressing on the hearts of the three brothers and sisters, making them breathless.

 Echoed with the crisp sound of camel bells.

The team slowly disappeared from the sight of the city defenders.
