Chapter 287 A Better Ending (Part 2)
The walls of the house are made of earth and some broken bricks. There is only one room inside, with a stove in one corner and two bunks on the other side. One is for adults to sleep on. The other is smaller and should be for children to sleep on.
Other than that, the room was just a few scattered objects, a few broken dishes, and a chipped water tank.
There were several dried vegetables placed on the stove. I don’t know how long it had passed, but they had long since turned into dried vegetables.
It can be seen from this room that the owner is extremely poor, with only four walls. However, things are arranged neatly and cleaned cleanly. There is also a small hole dug into the child's floor, as if you can see a huddled up child.
Children sleeping inside.
But the room was so clean, it was obviously cleaned frequently, and it was completely different from other rooms around it.
Wei Yuan's consciousness scanned the whole house, and then found a wooden comb and a wooden hairpin on the straw pillow on the floor where the adults slept, and said: "It seems that a woman lives here alone with her children. No men are seen living here."
something.”
With this kind of family background and living in this kind of environment, it will be particularly difficult for a woman living alone with children. However, this is also in a palace, so there may be some variables.
Sun Yu walked into the earthen house, sniffed it vigorously, and said, "There is a lot of medicinal fragrance left here. It stayed in this room for a long time."
Sun Yu walked while smelling it, and finally stood beside the floor where the child slept, and said with certainty: "It has been here."
Wei Yuan was a little confused. Even if a monster was looking for a nest, it would not choose a child's bed. There was a larger bed next to it. There were even beds and quilts in other houses, unlike this one which only had
Hay and two linen sheets with holes everywhere.
After everyone searched with their spiritual senses, nothing was found. However, Wei Yuan was still a little unwilling to give up. He squatted down in front of the child's bed, pushed aside the straw, and then saw a wooden doll with the doll's head.
Half of it was cut off, and it looked like the marks were cut with a very blunt knife, which took many cuts.
Wei Yuan's spiritual awareness has become more acute since he had the Buddha's Bodhi. At this time, he felt that there was a faint bloody and dank feeling on the puppet, and it seemed that there was also cause and effect. So he put the puppet away casually.
Several people came out of the earthen house and followed the traces of the medicinal fragrance and elixir fire in the air. The monster circled several times, and probably because Wei Yuan didn't follow it, it headed all the way outside the palace city.
Everyone was not in a hurry and kept alert at all times. The monster was too fast. If they pursued it at full speed, they would easily be ambushed by it.
As soon as Wei Yuan stepped out of the palace city, he suddenly felt a warning sign and was about to cast a protective spell. But just as the light of the Taoist magic light came on, a thin shadow had already been drawn on Wei Yuan's body!
Wei Yuan groaned, stretched out his foot and stomped the ground into steel, temporarily trapping the shadow. Then the Demon Suppressing Tower appeared and fell directly into the ground. At this time, the Demon Suppressing Tower turned into reality and turned into steel.
There's nothing that can be done to stop it.
Then Wei Yuan had a crimson fairy sword in his hand. He held the fairy sword upside down with both hands and stabbed the entire fairy sword into the ground until it had no handle!
A scream came from the ground, and two more jets of black energy shot out, hitting Wei Yuan. Then the monster quickly escaped underground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wei Yuan pulled out the fairy sword and saw that the tip of the sword was stained with an inch of black liquid. It was thick and thick and was about to drip. When he saw the black liquid, he felt a wave of resentment rushing towards his face, and Wei Yuan felt like it was in his ears.
I heard various roars and howls, and my vision was vaguely blurry.
At this time, the Demon Suppressing Tower rose in front of Wei Yuan, and the copper lamps on the middle floor of the tower lit up one by one. The lights fell on Wei Yuan, and suddenly there were streaks of black energy.
The black air quickly melted away under the light, leaving a few strands that could not be melted away, and were sucked into the Demon Suppressing Tower.
Wei Yuan relaxed and stood up. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his body. When he lowered his head, he found three more wounds on his body. The skin and flesh of the wounds were turned out, turned blue and black, and black water was oozing out.
Ji Liuli handed over three more elixirs, which were for replenishing qi, promoting muscle growth, and resolving toxins. Each elixir box was very gorgeous and looked expensive.
Sun Yu treated Wei Yuan's wounds on the spot. But what made people speechless was that as a high disciple of Xuanming Palace, Sun Yu didn't bring any wound medicine with him on this trip, and his whole body was covered with all kinds of weird poisons.
The monster's attack power was extremely strong. If these three blows had not landed on Wei Yuan, they would have been enough to chop the other cultivators into two pieces. Only Ji Liuli could withstand it with his physical body, and Feng Tingyu was still a little behind.
After a moment of delay, everyone continued to track forward. This time Wei Yuan killed the monster and had already sensed it, vaguely knowing its general direction.
The Scarlet Night Killing Immortal Sword is based on the seven sword energies of the Laurel Immortal Tree when it was first born. It is actually a fairy sword that reaches the extreme coldness and darkness. At this time, a bit of the sword intention is firmly attached to the monster, guiding Wei Yuan in the direction.
After leaving the palace city, we were only about ten miles away from the edge of the cave fragment. The monster was wandering in front, and there was no way to escape. However, Wei Yuan did not dare to be careless at all.
The monster is indeed ferocious. The scream from close range just now shook Wei Yuan's soul. When an ordinary Daoji monk heard this scream, his Daoji would be shattered.
Not far forward, Wei Yuan suddenly shouted to be careful. In his perception, the monster was attacking at an astonishing high speed!
Before Wei Yuan's shout ended, it had already appeared above the crowd and screamed in front of everyone!
This scream immediately caused countless tiny resentful spirits to rise within hundreds of feet. Although the cave sky was broken, there were still many tiny creatures living in the cave sky. Now all the insects, ants, and beasts were shattered by this scream.
Within a few miles around, life has been cut off.
Wei Yuan and others were shaken by severe pain in their souls. The monster's screams also included direct attacks on the soul. If the will is weak and the will collapses, the power of the roar will be doubled.
This scream was powerful enough to destroy the Dharma. It was obviously the killer move of the monster. But after everyone in Taichu Palace shook a few times, no one fell down.
Needless to say, Ji Liuli, the Nine-layered Demon-Suppressing Tower is a treasure of the soul that integrates offense and defense. Zhang Sheng, on the other hand, has an invincible heart and a will as firm as steel. His screams cannot shake him. Feng Tingyu adheres to the tradition of Mingwang Palace, and in his head
There is a thick layer of muscles protecting the soul.
Sun Yu is slightly inferior, but he can research the incense that melts demons and extinguishes gods, and his research on the soul is very in-depth. He often takes pills to enhance the defense of the soul, so in terms of the defense of the soul, it has long been at the level of Dharma.
Wei Yuan is the one with the weakest Yuan Shen defense among everyone, but although his defense is not good, the Yuan Shen is too thick. It is enough to make other monks scream to death for several times, but Wei Yuan only makes him a little dizzy.
.
The shadow monster missed a hit and tried to escape again, but the Demon Suppressing Tower had already emitted a circle of golden light, which clearly caused ripples when it passed by. Feng Tingyu's knife and Sun Yu's pill fire fell on the monster at the same time, and then
Give it a heavy blow.
Finally, a drizzle fell from the sky, and the monster screamed. It was obviously seriously injured by Zhang Sheng's sword. It ignored it, turned around and ran away. This time, everyone stopped watching and chased after it.
A few miles passed in the blink of an eye, and two graves, one large and one small, appeared in front of Wei Yuan's eyes. The shadow monster circled and fell into the small one's grave.
Both tombs are extremely simple, just two mounds of earth, hidden among the bushes and rocks. If it weren't for the two wooden tombstones, it would be impossible to tell that they were tombs.
The shadow monster no longer escapes when it gets here, but just hides underground, as if this is its last lair.
At this time, no one knew what was hidden in the underground tombs, and no one was willing to go underground to fight monsters that could come and go freely underground. Therefore, Ji Liuli and Zhang Sheng discussed it and decided to kill them in battle.
Ji Liuli immediately hung the Demon Suppressing Tower above the tomb to block the monster's escape, and then quickly set up the formation with Zhang Sheng. Sun Yu and Feng Tingyu were put into the two formation eyes, one yin and one yang, and became the members of the formation.
part.
This formation was quite complex, and Wei Yuan barely recognized it as the Northern Star Dou Soul Refining Formation after looking at it for a long time.
After the formation was set up, Sun Yu sprayed out a ball of dark green elixir fire, which Ji Youli held in his hand. Wei Yuan vaguely remembered that when he first entered the Taichu Palace, Sun Yu's elixir fire was still bright blue and white, but now it has become
A gloomy and thick dark green.
Ji Liuli placed the elixir fire in the center of the formation and activated the formation. The center of the formation instantly became dark and difficult to see, and a bright star appeared above, and the starlight penetrated the darkness.
The underground monster let out a shrill howl and rushed out from the center of the formation. As a result, it ran into the elixir fire, and immediately its whole body was on fire, finally revealing its true form.
The crimson sword light appeared in Wei Yuan's hand, like a stream of light cutting towards the monster. But at the last moment, Wei Yuan's hand suddenly trembled, but the sword light was too fast, and it passed by the monster in an instant.
At the four corners of the formation, the four swords were already hanging there. The monster was already falling before it emerged from the formation. When it emerged from the formation, the four swords fell down in sequence.
Every time the sword fell, the monster's vitality dropped a lot. In the blink of an eye, the four swords fell together, and its vitality also dropped steadily, and finally dried up.
The monster fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a little girl who looked to be only six or seven years old. She was wearing a white dress, which was in tatters and covered with blood.
After falling to the ground, she seemed to crawl towards the larger grave next to her instinctively, muttering: "...I'm back, don't drive me away again, I'm...scared..."
The little girl lost all her vitality. After crawling two steps, she stopped moving, with one little hand stuck deeply in the soil.
There was silence for a moment.
After a while, Wei Yuanfang asked: "What's going on?"
Ji Liuli looked solemn and said: "She died a long time ago, but she turned into a monster for some reason."
Sun Yu stepped forward to inspect the girl's body and said, "It's not a corpse. The body is still very fresh. It seems that she has only been dead for a month."
Wei Yuan's first reaction was that it was impossible. It had been several years since the cave had been shattered, and the oldest traces of fighting and killing in the main hall were two or three years old.
Sun Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Either there is some secret treasure down here that can ensure that the body will not rot. Another possibility is that she has been possessed by a powerful Yin spirit, so the body will not rot. But, you see."
Sun Yu raised the girl's arm and rolled down his sleeves. This little arm was actually bent and deformed in several places, like a twisted branch.
Sun Yu said solemnly: "This arm has been broken more than once. The broken bone was not treated, but was allowed to grow on its own. After it had grown, it was broken again."
Wei Yuan felt a little depressed, so he walked to the two tombs and looked at the tombstones.
The tombstone of the large tomb is engraved with "The Tomb of Xu Shiqi", while the small tombstone is engraved with "The Tomb of My Loved Daughter Shu Xinyi".
At this time, Ji Liuli had already surveyed the surrounding terrain and said, "There is probably a Yinjie place down here, which would breed Yin spirits of this level."
"How can there be a place of absolute darkness in the cave sky?" Sun Yu said.
Ji Liuli said: "Someone did it."
Wei Yuan immediately said: "Dig! Dig it out and see what kind of hellish place it is."
