Chapter 266 Demon Suppression Tower
After entering the cave, everyone walked several hundred feet inside, and suddenly became enlightened.
After everyone cast a few lighting spells, they realized that they seemed to have entered a huge underground cave.
However, as soon as they entered this place, everyone felt a hint of dark wind coming from inside, which made people shudder.
"There's something wrong with this smell. Please be careful and don't get distracted." Wang Mengxiao seemed to have smelled a strange smell of blood in the dark wind, and hurriedly reminded everyone.
After everyone heard it, the few people who had just walked away quickly came back closer.
"Senior Brother Wang, I think it's better to explore the path first!" Bai Yunhua also reminded him after hearing this.
Wang Mengxiao nodded, and then took out a purple spirit beast bag from his waist.
There was only a squeaking sound, and a spirit-detecting rat about a foot tall jumped out of the spirit beast bag.
Under Wang Mengxiao's instructions, the somewhat cute-looking spirit-detecting rat cautiously walked in front, while Wang Mengxiao followed everyone at a distance.
The further they walked in, the smell of blood in the air became more and more obvious, and a heavy look gradually appeared on everyone's faces.
The cave was so gloomy that it didn't look like a monk's cave at all. Everyone took out their magic weapons and prepared to fight at any time.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and everyone reached the depths of the cave without much effort.
"Look, there's a corpse in front of you." As Bai Yunhua shouted, everyone's eyes immediately gathered over.
"Yes, these are the robes of our Xiaoyao Sect. It seems to be them. Who is so vicious that he dares to attack our Xiaoyao Sect people here?" In front of everyone was a very old corpse.
Because a monk in the Qi Refining Stage absorbs spiritual energy to temper his body all year round, his body will hardly be damaged even if he dies within ten years. It should be easy to identify this person's identity.
But the corpse in front of me can no longer see its original specific face. It seems that all the essence and blood from the whole body have been drained instantly. The entire face has become a shriveled mummy, and the expression on the face is also... I was very frightened, not knowing what terrible things had happened to me.
At this time, the storage bag on the corpse had long since disappeared. Fortunately, the robe unique to the inner disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect worn by this person was too obvious, so his identity could still be determined.
Seeing the appearance of the corpse, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. Such a miserable appearance was really beyond his expectation.
Before everyone could think about it, a second corpse was discovered not far ahead. The situation was almost the same as the previous corpse, and it had the same tragic death appearance. The storage bag on the body had also disappeared.
However, when Song Qingming saw the corpse, he instantly felt a sense of familiarity. After careful inspection, he confirmed that this was the corpse of his third brother Song Qingze.
Just a few dozen feet in front of Song Qingze's body, everyone found a somewhat damaged stone platform. Around it were four Xiaoyao Sect disciples who had suffered the same fate. It seemed that they were the remaining missing people.
"Junior Brother Bai, what kind of magic circle is this? Do you recognize it?" Seeing a stone tower above the stone platform with many forbidden spells painted on it, Wang Mengxiao, who was walking at the front, quickly asked Second-level formation master Bai Yunhua.
After hearing this, Bai Yunhua stepped forward to check, and then said with a serious face: "This doesn't seem to be a magic circle, but a demon-suppressing tower that seals evil objects. It seems that several nephews have touched the seal, and the evil spirits inside The things have been released by them.”
"Demon Suppression Tower, how come there is such a thing here? It has never been recorded in the sect's classics!" Upon hearing that this thing was the Demon Suppression Tower, everyone showed a look of panic on their faces.
Demon-suppressing towers are not common in the world of immortal cultivators. They are usually used to seal powerful demon cultivators or some evil spirits and ghosts that are difficult to completely eliminate.
Different from the low-level demon cultivators like Yang Wuqi and other demon cultivators that Song Qingming had seen before, demon cultivators above the golden elixir level can practice the art of reincarnation of evil demons. In critical moments, they can be reincarnated into a substitute prepared before death. If the person who conquers the demon does not have Special means, even if it is to kill its physical body, it is difficult to completely eradicate this hidden danger.
The Demon Suppressing Tower is one of the ways to deal with these high-level demonic cultivators. When the demonic cultivator dies, his soul is directly trapped in the body, and the Demonic Suppressing Tower is used to suppress it for hundreds or thousands of years, until the demonic cultivator himself is ready. The lifespan of his substitute was almost exhausted, and he could no longer afford to make any troubles.
This method is clumsy, and the hidden dangers are also very high. Without monks to guard it all year round, it is easy for low-level monks to discover things like this, mistakenly thinking that they are things left by senior ancient cultivators, and risking their lives to break the seal and release the things inside. The sealed demon.
"Junior Brother Bai, are you sure this is the Demon Suppression Tower? Could it be a mistake?" Wang Mengxiao looked at the stone platform in front of him and asked thoughtfully.
"I have never seen the Demon Suppressing Tower with my own eyes, but judging from the seal's runes, it is indeed something that seals evil objects. I am still sure of this."
"Junior Brother Wang, this matter involves a big demon, and we need to report it to the sect immediately. Let's not get close to this magic circle yet. Let's go outside and notify Uncle Li first!" Hu Zhongxing saw that Wang Mengxiao had been staring closely at the town in front of him. The Demon Tower seemed to want to go forward and check it out, so he quickly reminded him.
Wang Mengxiao turned around and looked at everyone, and saw that no one objected to Hu Zhongxing's statement. He quickly changed his attitude of wanting to go forward to check, and asked everyone to restrain the corpses around the stone platform and retreat from the cave. Went back.
One day later, Song Qingming, who was waiting in the Black Stone Valley with others from the Xiaoyao Sect, saw two spiritual lights flying quickly across the horizon. After a while, two golden elixir monks, a man and a woman, landed in front of everyone.
One of the two people, Song Qingming, knew him well. He was Li Wutong, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of Xiaoyao Sect. Song Qingming got an opportunity from him in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. He was also a great helper to Song Qingming on his path. benefactor.
The other one is relatively unfamiliar. Song Qingming has never seen her before. This woman is wearing a blue and white long dress. Although she looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, she has a beautiful appearance, an aura like an orchid, and exudes a unique aura. Her aura was like that of a fairy stepping into the mortal world. Song Qingming had never seen a woman with such outstanding temperament in her decades of practicing Taoism, and couldn't help but look at her twice.
Such a beautiful woman can attract the attention of others with every movement and silence. Fortunately, Song Qingming herself has good concentration in this regard, so she didn't show too much composure on the spot.
"Meet Uncle Bai and Uncle Li!"
