Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 329 Clues
Jiang Yuhuan said: "Four years ago, we discovered the first corpse insect host. After arresting it and dissecting it, we found several crimson insects in its body and called them corpse insects..."

"Until a year ago, the second-generation corpse insect host was discovered. At that time, the corpse insect had evolved. The host not only has an immortal body, but also has a powerful self-healing ability, and other abilities have also been correspondingly enhanced."

"The corpse worm in the host is more perfect, and has evolved five senses. By arresting a corpse worm host in the middle stage of foundation establishment, we found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment, and the two met in the territory of Qi State of."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "Tell me about your conclusion."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "The corpse worm is an unknown creature that parasitizes the human body. In view of its unique way of life, ability and structure, we judge that it should not be a product of autonomous reproduction, but developed by humans. The corpse worm The reason why they can respond to each other may be because they come from the same mother. From this, it can be inferred that the first generation of corpse worms and the second generation of corpse worms were not produced by the same mother."

"Is that all?"

"That's all for now."

Jiang Yunsheng glanced at the man surnamed Shi, saw him nod slightly, and said: "The source of immortality is actually produced by the human body, which is a bit similar to the maggots in the rotting body. The difference is that it eats spiritual power and eats flesh and blood. And it can provide the blood supply and metabolic function of the human body.”

"It is a kind of miniature flesh-eating insect that is bred by a special method when the internal organs of the human body rot when they are dying. , can break away from the main body and reside on other human bodies.”

"Not all human bodies can reproduce the undead essence. Its reproduction has high requirements on the external environment. It must be a woman with an extremely yin constitution, and the surrounding environment must be dominated by yin energy. Once inhaled yang energy, the undead essence will be Stillborn."

"It is also an insect of the extreme Yin type. Therefore, on the night of the full moon, the insects hidden in the human body will not be able to help but come out to move, or wake up. Because on the night of the full moon, the Yin energy is the heaviest, and its ability is obtained. Only when it is greatly improved can it control the host itself."

"The cave we found that was cultivated as a source of undead essence is hidden in the chaotic rocks. A war broke out there, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people, and the yin energy was very strong. This is different from our speculation. Collaborate."

"So far, the hosts of the undead essence that we have captured are themselves affected by the undead essence, and their unconsciousness is getting longer and longer. In other words, their physique is not suitable for the growth of the undead essence. It is certain To put it bluntly, if things go on for a long time, the source of immortality will also die in their wombs."

"Because the hosts themselves are not extremely yin bodies, and the environment they live in is not a place surrounded by yin qi, the source of undead essence has been affected in this way, and it has fallen into a state of coma for a long time."

"The source of undead essence is in a state of stupor, and the host remains awake. But once the moon is full, the heavens and the earth will be filled with cloudy air, and the source of undead essence will wake up, and the host will enter into a coma. They actually share the same body and are fighting for the dominance of the body."

"When the source of immortality falls into a coma, its breathing and breathing will provide blood supply and metabolism for the human body. It is exactly complementary to human beings. Therefore, even if there are no five internal organs in the body, people can continue to survive."

"At present, we don't know the purpose of the person behind the scenes, but judging from the hosts he found, his original intention is to let the source of immortality assist the monks to achieve the effect of immortality, rather than let the source of immortality completely dominate the human body."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have found so many people with normal physiques as hosts. Judging from the results, his plan is not ideal."

"When the source of immortality competes with the host for dominance, various accidents often occur, and they cannot be well combined and complementary. People often die violently for no reason. Even the second-generation source of immortality still has problems of one kind or another."

After Jiang Yunsheng finished speaking, the Qianyizong and the others fell into deep thought. The Shuiyunzong knew much more than them, and they were silent for a while.

"We found a situation. There was a second-generation corpse insect host who ate the flesh and blood of the foundation-building cultivators and was directly promoted to the foundation-building realm. Do you know the reason for this?" Tangning asked after a while

Jiang Yunsheng said: "The source of immortality can directly absorb spiritual power from flesh and blood. I think it should be that its spiritual power has reached a critical point, leading to the promotion of the source of immortality. Since the source of immortality and the monk itself share the same body, the immortal After the Jingyuan advances, it will breathe out a lot of spiritual power."

"This kind of spiritual power does not need to be refined, it is directly stored in the cultivator's Linghai cave, leading to the completion of the monk's advancement. The monk can directly go from refining Qi to building a foundation, the prerequisite is that he has reached the peak of refining spiritual power, if he has not At this point, if you suddenly receive such a large amount of spiritual energy, you may die violently."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "Can you go to the cave where you found the source of immortality?"

The man surnamed Shi nodded: "Yes."

Several people turned into light and flew away. After traveling for about a day, they came to a barren mountain and a chaotic rocky hillock. Looking from above, they could see gray clouds and mist wrapped around them, all of which were transformed by Yin Qi.

Only the monks who have been transformed can see the faint gray gas. They escaped the light and came straight down to a stone wall.

A huge hole had been smashed out of the wall by a huge force, and several people entered the cave.

Walked forward for about tens of feet, turned a corner, and came to an empty secret room.

The man surnamed Shi said: "This is where the source of immortality is cultivated."

The entire secret room is twenty or thirty feet long and wide, with several stone beds placed across it.The secret room was filled with cloudy air, which turned into substantial melancholy clouds, and had a very strong stench. Even after so long, the smell was still strong.

In addition, there are some black stains everywhere in the secret room, all of which are in the state of blood coagulation.

Several people searched and found some traces of green unknown liquid scattered in the corner, accompanied by an extremely strong stench, as well as some dried flesh and internal organs.

There are shallow pits in the corners of several directions in the secret room, which should be the traces left by the formation flags that arranged the magic circle.

"It seems that this place has been abandoned for a very long time, and even the spiders have settled down here again." Guan Sheng grabbed a black spider with his hand and said.

"Are these traces of green liquid something very strange?" Tangning asked.

Jiang Yunsheng said, "It's a herbal solution."

"Herb? What herb?"

"The juice of the Cliffweed."

Cliff grass juice has the effects of paralysis and pain relief, and taking a large amount can cause people to lose consciousness. The people behind the scenes must have used this method to experiment on human bodies and cultivate corpse insect hosts.

"What are you going to do next?" Yin Qingyuan asked
The man surnamed Shi said: "According to the clues you provided, since the people behind the scenes are late-stage foundation-establishment monks, the scope can be greatly reduced. Among the casual cultivators in Qi State, there are no more than ten late-stage foundation-establishment monks, and they can be excluded one by one. There will be no more than twenty of those family heads in total."

"The only problem is that although the other party is meeting in Qi State, it does not mean that he is a Qi State monk, and may not even be a Xingang monk."

Guan Sheng asked: "Do you have any clues about the people behind the scenes?"

"To date, no one in direct contact with him has been captured."

Tang Ning said, "The other party obviously knows Jiang Taihua, knows that he is exhausted and is about to die, but Jiang Taihua has no impression of him. We can start from this point and investigate the key suspects first."

The man surnamed Shi said: "According to our investigation during this period of time, there are two casual cultivators in the late stage of foundation establishment who met Jiang Taihua. In my opinion, they are divided into four groups. Two groups investigate these two casual cultivators. The two groups of people assist our sect to continue to investigate the host's whereabouts and obtain more clues."

Yin Qingyuan nodded: "We are here to assist you, and everything is subject to the arrangement. Fellow Daoist Shi just makes arrangements."

"Since that's the case, I'll arrange the distribution of personnel. Fellow Daoist Yin and I will follow up and investigate the two separately. Junior Sister Nangong, Junior Sister Liu, and Junior Brother Jiang are in a group, and the three fellow Daoist Guizong are in a group."

Yin Qingyuan frowned slightly and said: "We are new here, and we are not familiar with the place, which is not conducive to carrying out investigation work. It is necessary to have someone as a guide. There are many things that are more useful for you to come forward than us."

"What Fellow Daoist Yin said is reasonable, but I didn't think it through a little bit, so how about a mutual adjustment between Junior Brother Jiang and Fellow Daoist Guizong Guan?"

People naturally have no objection.

Yin Qingyuan said: "I don't know who I want to investigate?"

The man surnamed Shi turned his right hand, took out a paper file, handed it to him and said: "This person's surname is Feng Mingjun, a native of Zhulu County, and Jiang Taihua is also a native of Zhulu County. As far as we know, the two met in Weimo, and they were friends in the early years. Quite thick."

Guan Sheng said: "But in Jiang Taihua's memory, we found that he didn't know the man. If the two of them have a deep friendship, even if they are wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, they should be able to suspect his identity. I think the person behind the scenes probably Not this person."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "At present, we only have this information, and our sect's intelligence department is still investigating."

After discussing with each other, several people left.

Tang Ning and Jiang Yuhuan followed Shui Yunzong Jiang Yunsheng for a day and came to a temple in the southern part of Qi Kingdom. The three escaping lights fell, and the monks in the Taoist temple were alerted. Jiang Yunsheng bowed: "I don't know which master uncle of this sect? Do you need a disciple to report?"

Jiang Yunsheng took out a token and said to him, "Can Junior Brother Han be here?"

After the woman took the token to confirm her identity, she returned to him and said: "Uncle Han is resting in the hall."

"Lead us there!"

"Yes."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, fellow Daoist Jiang, please." Jiang Yunsheng turned around and said

The three of them followed the woman for more than a hundred zhang and came to a large hall. On the futon in the hall sat cross-legged a man with a powdery face and a fair complexion. Looking at his frail appearance, he looked like a woman.

After several people entered, the man opened his eyes and got up to greet them.
