Chapter 871 Coffin in the Void
Although Huan Niu is huge in size, its speed is astonishing. It only takes two days to cover a distance of thousands of miles. Even if Old Man Xu Qiong and Taoist Tian Gui are in the later stage of pill formation, they still need to use their skills to catch up. , which shows that although this beast's cultivation level is not high, its legs are not weak.
However, what shocked them was not this, but when they looked back from time to time, Ye Chunyang followed up without losing an inch, and seemed to be leisurely and calm, without any consumption.
This really shocked them. They were both in the middle stage of forming pills. Yunlu and Rong Gupo could only hang far behind, but Ye Chunyang followed them so easily that they couldn't help but pay more attention to them.
Ye Chunyang remained silent and followed the two of them indifferently.
Along the way, we found traces of many monks' activities, either alone or in groups. We also occasionally encountered some fighting over the elixir, but all of them fell silent under their powerful aura and started to fight. Actively avoid it.
This naturally saved them a lot of trouble.
"I wonder if you two Taoist friends have noticed that we have taken a fancy to a lot of elixirs along the way, but they all disappeared mysteriously for no reason. Could it be that someone can hide the elixirs from our eyes and take the elixirs without anyone noticing? Can't we go?" After continuing for about a hundred miles, Tiangui Taoist suddenly spoke, with a gloomy look on his face.
"I also feel that something is wrong. With our detection power, the perception is absolutely correct, but the elixir disappeared after it arrived. There must be something fishy here." Old Man Xu Qiong nodded with a gloomy expression.
The two old monsters, Xu Qiong and Tian Gui, are not good men and women. There are countless elixirs in the Xianzhi Mansion, and they have committed more than ten murders and swindles in the past two days. During this period, they sensed the existence of many elixirs, but when they felt it, the elixirs disappeared in vain. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of the person who took the elixirs.
The two of them were puzzled!
"Fellow Taoist Ye, what do you think of this matter?" Tiangui Taoist looked at Ye Chunyang who was silent on the other side and asked casually.
"I don't have any opinion. The two fellow Taoists with their great powers have not been able to find any trace of the person who took the medicine. With my little ability, it is even less likely that I will find anything. However, that person was able to steal the medicine under the eyes of you and me. Take away the elixir, your magical powers are really powerful!"
Ye Chunyang pondered for a moment and said with a "solemn" look on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the old man Xu Qiong and Taoist Tiangui couldn't help but change, and they looked at each other speechless.
"Fellow Daoist Ye is right. There are many wonders in the world. It is not strange for someone with great supernatural powers to appear. In my opinion, the elixir will be gone once it is gone. Our first goal is to find Lingbao Mountain, so we should not mess with it. This person is a good person." Old Man Xu Qiong thought for a long time, and his tone became serious.
Taoist Tiangui was stunned, looking very unwilling, but he was also a shrewd person, so he naturally agreed with what Old Man Xu Qiong said.
When they were extremely suspicious, Ye Chunyang touched his Qiankun bag and showed a half-smile.
But he didn't say much, and still calmly followed the two of them in pursuit of Huan Niu.
A few days later, the group of people followed Huan Niu's trail and flew for nearly ten thousand miles, climbing over several lofty mountains. As they went deeper, Ye Chunyang also felt that the spiritual energy around him became more intense, and the magic power in his body became stronger. The operation is much smoother than before.
But over the past few days, the faces of Old Man Xuqiong and Taoist Tiangui have become increasingly ugly. They sensed a lot of high-level elixirs along the way, but when they arrived, they were all empty and there was no one around, as if they had seen a ghost.
The two of them were guessing about each other's identity and cultivation, but they didn't dare to provoke him rashly. However, what was even more helpless was that they didn't even see the ghost of the other party, which made them extremely depressed.
They simply gave up their plan to collect elixirs while traveling and followed Huan Niu directly to Lingbao Mountain.
In this way, someone in their party benefited greatly from this, and all the elixirs they could find along the way were looted. Not to mention Old Monster Yunlu and Granny Rong in the back, even the two later great monks, Old Man Xuqiong and Taoist Tiangui, could only pick up some leftovers, and their faces turned green with anger.
On the other hand, Ye Chunyang looked calm and still followed the two of them unhurriedly.
Although he used the main body's invisibility to collect many rare elixirs, the connection with the main body needs to be within a certain range to work, so Ye Chunyang did not let him go too far.
And the group of people traveled hundreds of miles without realizing it. But just when he reached the foot of a mountain, Tiangui Taoist's galloping figure suddenly stopped, and he looked ahead with a gloomy look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang and the old man Xu Qiong couldn't help but stop hiding, and their eyes fell on Huan Niu in front of them. The latter seemed to feel something, its eyes were staring at the deep mountain in front of it and trembling slightly, as if there was something in it that made it extremely afraid.
"Fellow Daoist Heavenly Ghost, what's going on? Has this beast discovered anything?" Old Man Xu Qiong asked.
"It's not certain yet, but judging from the behavior of this beast, there may be something fishy in the mountains ahead." Taoist Tiangui pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Wait until I use the puppet talisman to detect this beast."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the jet-black ghost talisman engraved with blood patterns flashed out again.
Tiangui Taoist chanted a spell in his mouth, with a strong black light in his hand, and moved with his bare hands at Huan Niu. A strange aura suddenly flashed in the beast's eyes, and a hint of spiritual thought came from it.
After a moment, the Heavenly Ghost Taoist frowned slightly and took back the ghost talisman, and stood there silently.
"How is it? What's so weird about this place?" Old Man Xu Qiong asked anxiously, "Could it be that this place has something to do with Lingbao Mountain?"
Tiangui Taoist was silent for a long time but then shook his head again and said: "Just now I used the ghost talisman to detect this beast. This place has nothing to do with Lingbao Mountain, but there is something vaguely in the mountain that prevents it from moving forward."
Hearing this, Old Man Xuqiong became even more puzzled, and Ye Chunyang couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, everyone felt the ground tremble, and then a black light rose into the sky from the deep mountains, making a rumbling explosion in the void, and turned into a thick cloud of cotton covering half of the sky.
The originally sunny sky suddenly turned dark.
"The energy of the devil?"
The faces of Old Man Xuqiong and Tiangui Taoist were condensed, while Ye Chunyang's eyes were half-squinted. He felt a cold breath from the black cloud, which was extremely familiar.
"Since entering the Xianzhi Mansion, we have never encountered the aura of the devil. I thought that I was isolated by the aura of this mansion, but I didn't expect that it still exists. It seems that the mountains here are not simple. You should be careful. ." Old Man Xu Qiong sensed the magic cloud for a while, and then he spoke to remind everyone.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered a few times and remained silent.
Just at this moment, a loud "swish, swish" sound suddenly came from the void, and the sharp sound of breaking wind came one after another. Everyone looked up in shock, and saw the demonic clouds covering the mid-air suddenly rolling with demonic energy. , and boiled like a tide, invisibly exuding an extreme sense of oppression.
At the same time, bubbles bubbled up in the magic cloud, and strands of black light shot out from it, converging into a sheet of light that intertwined in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the entire mountain darkened.
However, what surprised everyone was not this scene, but the appearance of giant cyan coffins one after another in the light network, densely packed with no less than a hundred people, floating uniformly above everyone's heads.
Huan Niu at the foot of the mountain was even more frightened. When these giant cyan coffins appeared, he could not help but shrink his neck and run back behind everyone, looking extremely frightened.
And these coffins in the void suddenly made a "bang bang" sound after they appeared, and bursts of black mist filled the air. Then everyone took a breath of cold air and saw tall figures crawling out of the coffins, their whole bodies covered with black light. Wandering around, the face is extremely ferocious.
These figures were lifeless, but there was a strange light flashing in the abdomen of the Dantian. When everyone took a closer look, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces. This strange light turned out to be a golden elixir.
"Demon corpse!"
Ye Chunyang looked at the black figures crawling out of the coffins, thinking of something in his mind, and couldn't help but look cold.
"Demon corpses? Does Fellow Daoist Ye recognize these things?"
Old Man Xu Qiong and others expressed doubts.
"I do understand."
Ye Chunyang nodded slightly, recalling the records in an ancient book, and said: "The demon corpse is used by people in the demon path to use a unique secret technique to sacrifice the corpse after death for driving. However, this method is not the same as the puppet technique of the ghost path. Similarly, the demon corpse that has been refined through the secret techniques of the devil not only retains its previous cultivation, but can also independently absorb demonic energy to strengthen itself, possessing incredible magical powers, and the demon corpse in the elixir-forming stage can cultivate evil elixirs. "
"Evil Pill? Fellow Daoist Ye, why don't you elaborate?" Old Man Xu Qiong and Taoist Tiangui looked at each other.
Even though they were well-informed, they had never heard of things like demon corpses and evil pills. Now that they heard what Ye Chunyang said, they couldn't help but feel confused.
Ye Chunyang didn't mean to hide it. After taking a look at the two of them, he said: "Actually, the predecessor of the evil pill is the golden pill of the demon corpse during his lifetime. However, after being sacrificed and refined into a demon corpse, it will be assimilated by the demonic energy. Compared with the magic power, The monks of the same level are twice as powerful, and as long as the evil elixir is not broken, the demon corpse's mana will continue to flow without the need to restore it through exercises or spiritual elixirs."
"There is such an evil thing!" The expressions of Old Man Xuqiong and Taoist Tiangui changed slightly, and they couldn't help but take a breath.
The old monster Yunlu and Granny Rong behind them were even more shocked. If the magic power of these demon corpses would not be exhausted, wouldn't they be as numb as machines and never run out of true energy?
"Fellow Daoist Zhaoye said this, the only way to kill these demon corpses is to crush their evil pills." Old Man Xu Qiong said with a gloomy expression.
"Indeed." Ye Chunyang shrugged and said calmly: "Of course, if the two Taoists don't mind the trouble, they can find another way around this place to avoid a head-on conflict with these demon corpses."
