Taiping Inn

Yin Yang Sect believes that the souls of those who died in an unnatural way always stay at the place of death. Only by taking the souls of newcomers to replace themselves can they transcend the sea of ​​sin. This is called substitution, and the new souls that are taken away are scapegoats.

To put it more simply, there is one carrot and one pit. If there are too many people dying in some places, it will be called "eating greedily". It will trap the souls who died here. If there are no new souls, the old souls cannot leave, so the old souls will take the initiative to use various means to make people encounter accidents, which is the so-called scapegoat.

Li Xuandu looked at the woman and asked, "You don't seem to be from this village."

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I was originally a disciple of Xuannv Sect. When I passed by this place, I was accidentally hit, so I died many years ago, but I still lingered here."

Liu Chen stood behind Li Xuandu, his arms around his brother, and said nothing.

Li Xuandu said calmly: "What happened here?"

"This place was once slaughtered by bandits, and no one in the village was spared. However, after that, it was not that no one cared about it. The people of Zaoge Sect came here and built a magic altar here, collected corpses, and secretly refined zombies. I accidentally entered this place when I passed by here ten years ago. I was caught off guard and fell into the trap of Zaoge Sect. My body decayed, and the thieves of Zaoge Sect took my body to refine corpses, so I was trapped here and couldn't escape." The woman in white said with a sad face.

After the woman finished speaking, Li Xuandu did not comment on the authenticity of the content, but turned his head to look at Liu Chen beside him.

Liu Chen said seriously: "I am the guide, I don't know the details. Even if Chen Mao is here, he has to check the corresponding files before answering."

Li Xuandu looked at the woman again and asked: "What about now? Are there any disciples from Zaoge Sect staying here?"

The woman's face suddenly showed some hope, but she was a little hesitant: "The people from Zaoge Sect have left, but the formation they left is still there. I don't know what you mean..."

Li Xuandu was not afraid of any traps, and said frankly: "I have some grievances with Zaoge Sect. With the temperament of old man Zang, it may be difficult to resolve. Then I don't mind doing things more thoroughly."

The ghost woman immediately became very excited, and even a cloud of white mist rose around her body, making her figure a little blurry, and then she bowed to Li Xuandu and even spoke incoherently: " Please, please help me leave here, I will be grateful and never forget the kindness of the benefactor. "

Li Xuandu agreed without a break, and asked: "I haven't asked your name yet?"

The ghost woman calmed down a little and said: "My surname is Zhou, my name is Zhou Yan."

"Surname Zhou?" Li Xuandu smiled a little more: "You are from Xuannv Sect, this is our fate, it seems that I have to help you."

Then he asked: "Just now you said that Zaoge Sect built an altar here and left a formation. I wonder where it is?"

Zhou Yan said softly: "If you trust me, please follow me."

Li Xuandu did not sheath the knife, but just put the "cold beauty" close to his arm and said: "Please lead the way."

From beginning to end, Liu Chen was indifferent to all this, just watching coldly.

Zhou Yan brought Li Xuandu to a corner of the ancestral hall. Li Xuandu immediately found that the floor tiles here had been moved. He circulated his Qi and stomped his feet, and several floor tiles immediately bounced up, revealing the deep hole underneath.

Zhou Yan said: "There should be various zombies left by the Zaoge Sect in here. Please be careful, young master."

"It's okay." Li Xuandu stepped into it, and Liu Chen followed behind Li Xuandu after a slight hesitation.

Then Li Xuandu had to admit that the Zaoge Sect may have stayed in Beimang Mountain for too long, or because they made too much money from the dead, they were particularly proficient in underground buildings. This was the case with the Changsheng Palace, and it was also the case here. The space under the ancestral hall was dozens of times larger than the ancestral hall, and was divided into many different areas, with crisscrossing passages, where many ragged zombies wandered. Judging from their clothes, they did not look like local people, but were wanderers, bandits, monks and Taoists. It was unknown where they were captured by the Zaoge Sect and how they were secretly transported here to be refined into zombies.

Although zombies are indeed difficult to deal with, when they were in Lingxiu Villa, even a few masters in the Baodan realm had difficulty dealing with them, but for Li Xuandu now, they can be easily dealt with.

Li Xuandu walked along the way, and there were corpses everywhere. No zombie was a match for Li Xuandu's sword. Some were cut in half, some were beheaded, and some had no scars on their bodies.

Finally, he came to a large underground hall. There was a three-story altar in the hall. The first altar covered an area of ​​about half an acre, the second was one-third of the first, and the first was one-third of the second. Each altar was covered with densely packed talismans of different sizes, and there were also four kinds of spirit beast statues. Four white jade stairs started from the first altar and led directly to the third altar.

According to the directions of the 360 ​​great Zhoutian constellations, there were 365 ordinary zombies standing on the first altar, but all of them were sealed by talismans and did not move. On the second-level altar, there stood four half-finished iron corpses, corresponding to the four spirit beast statues. They were covered in iron armor and also covered with various talismans, unable to move.

Finally, on the third floor, there was a white bone lying flat, all white, without a trace of variegated color, as if made of white jade, with a faint glow.

Li Xuan looked at the bone and always felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Zhou Yan, who had turned into a ghost, looked extremely complicated when she saw this bone. She wanted to cry but had no tears to shed.

Liu Chen, who was knowledgeable, looked at the white bone and said, "If I read it correctly, this should be the 'White Bone Miaohua Zun' of Zaoge Sect, but this 'White Bone Miaohua Zun' has not been successfully refined. It can only be considered a semi-finished product.”

Then she frowned and wondered: "Why did Zaoge Sect leave a priceless 'White Bone Miaohuazun' here without anyone guarding it? Even if it is just a semi-finished product, it should not be discarded at will. Judging from the situation here, the people of Zaoge Sect seem to have retreated in great haste."

Li Xuandu immediately figured out the key, why this white bone looks very familiar, because it is exactly the same as the "White Bone Miaohua Zun" that Li Xuandu got from the old man Zang, and why Zaoge Sect did it. The hasty evacuation may be related to the matter of the Changsheng Palace in Beimang Mountain.

Things in the world have always been a tangle of one's own strength.

As for why Zaoge Sect did not refine this thing in the sect, they had to go here, maybe because of the Feng Shui or the earthly energy of this place. After all, Beimang Mountain has changed from Shaozu Mountain to Laozu Mountain, but Li Xuan They are not proficient in Feng Shui and look at the qi, and can only speculate but cannot be verified.

Li Xuandu suddenly asked, "Do you... know Han Qianqian?"

Zhou Yan was stunned and nodded, "Of course I know you, but I can't compare with Senior Sister Han. Senior Sister Han is one of the six envoys and has a bright future, and I am just an ordinary disciple."

"Han Qianqian is dead." Li Xuandu said slowly: "I died in the hands of Zaoge Sect. The sect leader of Zaoge Sect planted a ghost ulterior motive in his body, and was swallowed by the Taiyin corpse, leaving only a human skin. ”

Zhou Yan was completely stunned and completely disbelief.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "The first choice of disciples of Xuannv Sect is to focus on root bones, and pay attention to an 'ice-skinned and jade bones', while the Zaoge Sect also pays attention to root bones in refining corpses, so the Zaoge Sect is particularly fond of disciples of Xuannv Sect. , If I'm not wrong, the bones on this altar are your remains? ”

Zhou Yan nodded silently.

Not far from the altar, there is a stone door, which is called a stone door, but in fact there is only a door frame made of long stones, similar to things in a archway, and the stones are carved with various obscure talismans.

Liu Chen went straight to the archway, looked at the various talismans on it carefully, and said hesitantly: "This seems to be an eternal 'yin and yang gate'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light curtain emerged from the "door hole" of the archway, as if it was a water curtain, sparkling, and then a figure emerged from the "water curtain", as if he was going to travel through this portal and come here.
