Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 336 Helmsman ([-])

In a courtyard eighty miles east of Lanzi County, a ray of light fell, revealing the figure of a man with a broad forehead and a broad face.

A pretty woman in the room hurried to greet her and bowed: "Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Yunsheng nodded slightly and said: "I received a message from Xuanying that your intelligence station has found clues to the host of corpse insects?"

"Yes, according to your instructions, we are responsible for investigating clues in the west of Qilian Mountain. According to intelligence, a casual cultivator disappeared last night."

"This person's name is Zheng Lian. He originally made an appointment with a few casual cultivators to go to the "Huanyue Pavilion" to have fun, but he missed the appointment."

"According to the explanations of the casual cultivators, Zheng Tang proposed to go to the "Huanyue Pavilion" this time, and the cost was borne by him. Moreover, he is usually a very honest person with a good reputation. In addition, no one was found in his residence. We suspect that he is missing or killed."

"At present, the disciples of this site are still looking for his trace."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "Can you determine the time and approximate location of his disappearance?"

The woman said: "According to the explanations of those casual cultivators and our side investigation, the time of disappearance should be around [-]:[-] o'clock yesterday, and the location should be within a hundred miles of Yangpo Lake."

"Okay, I got it." Jiang Yunsheng nodded, and disappeared into the light. After a short walk, he returned to the Taoist temple, informed Tangning and Jiang Yuhuan of the news, and they set off immediately.

...............

The calm water of the lake shimmered under the sunshine, and the breeze blew by, causing ripples on the water surface, and a few flashes of light flashed and landed near Yangpo Lake.

"Fellow Daoist Su, does your red-haired green-eyed dog have any feedback?" Jiang Yunsheng asked

Su Ziyuan patted her waist, and a big red-haired dog, six or seven feet tall, jumped out, leaning on her left back, slightly bowed, with all the hair on its back, as if it was about to attack at any time, it grinned vigilantly at several people .

Su Ziyuan patted it on the head, comforted it, bent down and whispered something in its ear, the red-haired green-eyed dog gradually stopped grinning, and its bristly hair became smooth.

"Fellow Daoist Su, can this red-haired dog really sense the aura of that thief?" Tangning asked worriedly.

At most, the red-haired dog has only met the corpse host once, and it may not have been in direct contact with it, and it may not remember his smell. A few foundation-building monks ran with a dog. I can't hold back my face when I go out.

Su Ziyuan said: "There should be no problem. The red-haired and green-eyed dog itself is a spirit beast used for tracking. Its combat power is not strong. As long as it comes into contact with people or things, it can smell its unique aura. At most, it is only within the sensing range. It’s all about size. If it’s a familiar person, the sensing range can reach more than ten miles. I’ve communicated with it just now, and there’s no such thieves here.”

Jiang Yuhuan glanced at the high-hanging sun wheel: "The sun will set in the west in about two hours, and tonight is the day of the full moon. If the missing casual cultivator was really kidnapped by him, he disappeared at you hour yesterday He only has two or three hours so far, so he shouldn't be able to hide too far away. With the escape speed of a foundation cultivator, his hiding place will not be more than five hundred miles away from here."

Su Ziyuan frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant, but she didn't ask further.

However, Tang Ning and Jiang Yunsheng knew that the host of corpse insects who had established a foundation would take longer and longer to get sick. They might be in a daze and groggy all day on a full moon. They had to fight against the corpse insects in their bodies to fight for the dominance of their bodies. , so there is no time to run away, to find a place to hide.

Even so, it is by no means so easy to find someone within a radius of five hundred miles.

.....................

In the dense jungle, a few gray and white mice came out of the ground, and rushed forward amidst the chirping and calling, as if they were fleeing.

Deep underground, a scrawny man was lying on the ground in a strange posture, wriggling like a bug. Looking carefully, except for his head, only a thin skin was left on his whole body. White bones covered, no flesh and blood inside.

Insects as thin as gossamer came out of the white bones bit by bit, wriggling in his body, the man's eyes were red, and there was a suppressed roar from his mouth, as if he was suffering from some great pain and trying his best to resist.

After an unknown amount of time, the roar gradually subsided, and the white bones in the man's body were already covered with scarlet worms, wriggling and rolling, looking terrifying.

The man's body surged forward little by little, came to the corner, opened his mouth wide and bit down on the person lying on the ground, his mouth was immediately full of flesh and blood.

As his throat rolled, he swallowed this piece of flesh and blood, while the countless worms in his body squirmed and ate it up in the blink of an eye...

…………

The moon was hanging high, and the stars were shining like a brocade. A few rays of light fell into the forest, and Tang Ning, Jiang Yuhuan, Su Ziyuan, and Jiang Yunsheng appeared.

"Ho, ho..." the red-haired, green-eyed dog kept roaring, running around the three of them, circling.

"It should be around here." Su Ziyuan said.

"It might be hiding under the ground. I'll go and check it out," Tangning said, shrinking her body and escaping into the ground. After walking forty or fifty feet, she found a winding path leading straight down.

He didn't rush into the unknown place underground along the trail, but returned to the ground. Since a secret path was found here, it means that the corpse host is probably hiding inside.

"Tang Daoyou, how is it?" Jiang Yunsheng asked when he saw him get out of the ground

"Sure enough, there is a road inside. I don't know how far it extends. I didn't rush into it recklessly. I think the thief should be under the ground."

The three of them discussed the arrest plan, and Tangning escaped into the ground at once.

In the empty room, the man was lying on the ground, bending his body and squirming lightly. The ground was bloody, and the pieces of flesh were all over the floor.

After a long time, the crimson worms attached to the bone in his body slowly drilled back into the bone, like a tired bird returning to the forest, and his red eyes also gradually faded away.

This process lasted for half an hour. The man raised his arms, looked around in confusion, sighed slightly, and sat cross-legged on the ground. The negative influence on his body has not completely dissipated. He needs to calm himself through breathing meditation to fight against it. That crazy idea that is about to move.

Just as he was closing his eyes, his spiritual consciousness suddenly noticed something abnormal. The man suddenly opened his eyes, flipped his left hand, and swung out a blue long sword, which turned into a blue light and pierced into the earth wall in front of him on the left.

………………

Tang Ning escaped into the dirt wall and quietly approached the man sitting cross-legged in the corner. Suddenly, the man opened his eyes. Knowing that he had been noticed, he quickly appeared. The sword light was already in front of him. He pulled out the rhinoceros armor mark and faced Qinglan sword.

Under the impact of the two phases, the blue light of the long sword shrank and crumbled.

Seeing this, the man's figure flashed, turned into a light, passed the underground exit, and fled outwards.

Although he didn't know the identity and purpose of the person who came, but the other party, a mid-stage foundation-building monk, was able to find this place and sneaked into the ground. Obviously, he came here specifically for him, and he had malicious intentions.

And when the other party used the top-grade spiritual weapon as soon as he made a move, there must be an organization behind it, and it was not as simple as a simple casual cultivator accidentally bumping into this place.

As a senior casual cultivator, he knows that with the resources and financial resources of a casual cultivator, it is difficult to afford an item at the price of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a chamber of commerce, an aristocratic family or a cultivator of a sect, once he falls into their hands, his fate will be the same. All these years he has been hiding in XZ in order not to reveal his secrets. For this reason, he has prepared several hiding places. Cave, let alone people.

Although this state made him very distressed and painful for a time, he still wanted to live. He firmly believed that as long as his cultivation level could be improved, he would be able to get rid of his strange situation. If he was caught before then, the ending would be predictable Know.

There has never been benevolence, righteousness and morality in the practice world, and those who arrested him would not sympathize with his experience, and would only become someone else's fish on the board.

The man escaped from the underground exit, his mind spinning.

Seeing him escape from the ground, Tang Ning did not rush to chase him. The spiritual power in his body continued to flow into the rhinoceros armor seal. The black light swallowed the light of the blue long sword. With a soft "pong", the long blue sword fell from midair to the ground. , the brilliance of the whole body dissipated, cracks spread at the tip of the sword, and the long sword shattered to the ground.

This blue long sword is no more than a medium-grade spiritual weapon, how can it resist the power of the rhinoceros armor seal, and the man resolutely abandoned the car to protect the commander, intending to hold him back with the long sword and help him escape.

Although this bought him some time, the long sword without spiritual support was instantly shattered by the strike of the rhino armor.

With a move, Tangning retracted the rhinoceros armor seal and chased after her figure.

.........

The man turned into a ray of light before he escaped from the ground, and a figure flashed behind him silently. A golden giant ape stood behind him, with eyes like copper bells, golden hair fluttering in the wind, and a huge giant fist smashed down.

Before the punch arrived, the powerful spiritual pressure caused the wind to roar, and the man shouted loudly, his whole body burst into golden light, and his bony arms were crossed in front of him.

With a "bang", the man's body was shot backwards like a cannonball, smashing a huge crater in the ground.

If an ordinary monk was hit by this blow, he would be seriously injured even if he was not dead, and he would definitely lose his combat effectiveness, but the man was unscathed, and he didn't know what kind of kung fu he practiced.

Before he could soar into the sky, a huge golden rod fell from above. The man let out a loud roar, and blocked the golden rod with both hands. Half of his body was smashed into the ground in an instant, and sweat dripped down his forehead.

The golden giant ape's figure flashed, and then came to his side silently, punched down, and the man flew out sideways, breaking dozens of thick giant trees, and fell to the ground with his sternum broken.

Since there is no flesh below the head, only the thin skin is covered with white bones, and the broken bones can be seen with the naked eye. All this happened in the blink of an eye.

The man's body fell limply, and when he looked up, he saw that the three mid-stage foundation-establishment monks who had never met before had come to his side, looking down at him from a height, as if they were fish on a board.
