Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 337 Helmsman (VIII)

"Who are you?" Blood overflowed from the corner of the man's mouth, and while he was speaking, a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, and his body mutated.

I saw countless tiny crimson worms gushing out from his bones, densely covering his body.The broken sternum quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes gradually turned red, and a suppressed roar came out of his mouth.

The three of them looked at each other with expressions of surprise. The corpse worms in this man's body were obviously different from those of other lodgers. The corpse worms in other people's bodies were long strips, just one or two, hidden between the flesh and blood.

But the parasitic corpse worms of this person are densely packed and small, like maggots, hidden in the bones.

The three of them were not in a hurry to do it, because their cultivation at the early stage of foundation establishment would never escape their control, so they could just observe the changes after being controlled by the corpse worm, find more clues, and further grasp the information of the corpse worm.

Dense red bugs covered the man's figure, his body injuries gradually healed, his mouth let out a bug-like hiss, his eyes were completely red, his body twisted, and he attacked Jiang Yunsheng.

Several people had been on guard for a long time, Jiang Yunsheng retreated slightly, flipped his left hand, and the golden staff turned into a size of more than ten feet and hit the man.

With a sound of "bang", the man's figure was sent flying again, and he fell to the ground. His injured body healed at an extremely fast speed, and he attacked Jiang Yuhuan again.

The man obviously lost his mind, he didn't have any rules, he just acted on instinct. Every time his body was wounded, there would be densely packed tiny bugs fused into his injured parts, and then his injuries would recover.

Obviously, those crimson little bugs are the key to his body's powerful self-healing power.

Under the attack of Tangning and the other three, all the bugs attached to his body burrowed back into his bones and disappeared. The man turned his head and passed out.

Jiang Yunsheng stepped forward and placed a spiritual restraint in his body, frowned and said: "This is the first time we have encountered such a form of immortal essence host, a bit like the incomplete bodies of the two mummified corpses in the Luanshigang cave."

Tangning nodded and said, "This person's body's self-healing power is much stronger than the corpse insect hosts we captured before. It seems that he is not an ordinary corpse insect host."

Jiang Yunsheng turned to Su Ziyuan and said, "Please Daoist Su cooperate with us in arresting him. We will take this person back for interrogation. Thank you to Fellow Daoist Su Mingyue for me."

Just now Su Ziyuan had been watching from a distance, did not intervene in the arrest of the few people, and did not approach until the man was unconscious. Now, after hearing Jiang Yunsheng's words, she did not say much, but nodded: "I am leaving."

After all, he disappeared into light.

Tangning and the others escorted the man to the Taoist temple. Before the man woke up from the coma, Jiang Yunsheng said, "Fellow Daoist Tang, fellow Daoist Jiang, I will bring this man back to the sect for interrogation, and then I will meet you again."

Tangning and Jiang Yuhuan looked at each other, but did not express their opinion.

Their mission is to use the Shuiyunzong intelligence system to arrest the mastermind behind the scenes and bring him back to the sect. This person is obviously different from the general corpse host, and may be a breakthrough, but Jiang Yunsheng proposes to bring him back to Shuiyunzong for interrogation.

In this way, they couldn't grasp the first-hand information, so how could they capture the mastermind behind the scenes before Shui Yunzong.

Jiang Yuhuan said: "In my opinion, there is no need to be so troublesome. Fellow Daoist Jiang comes and goes and talks for a few days, so we might as well interrogate him here first. If he confesses truthfully, we can immediately designate the next step. , if he is dishonest, it will not be too late to bring him back to the noble sect."

Tang Ning also echoed, "That's right! We have been in Qi for more than a month, and the mastermind behind the scenes may get news at any time and flee. If we get the key information earlier, we can catch them earlier."

Jiang Yunsheng thought for a while silently: "Alright then!"

In the evening, the man woke up leisurely, opened his eyes, and saw Tangning and the three sitting on the top of the steps, his face changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, only to realize that he was restrained and the spiritual power in Linghai Cave was blocked. His face was ashen, and he knew that he was already a prisoner.

Jiang Yunsheng shouted: "Who are you? Report your name."

The man turned pale, looked at the three and asked back, "Who are you?"

Jiang Yunsheng said: "I am a disciple of Shuiyun Sect, and these two are fellow Taoists of Qianyi Sect."

Tangning continued, "We found many monks in Chu who had the same experience as you, and followed the clues to Qi. Now, I think you should be aware of your situation and don't take chances."

"We can tell you clearly that our real target is the black hand behind you, not you. If you confess honestly, we will not embarrass you, but if you refuse to cooperate, there are ways to make you speak."

The man shrugged his head, his eyes wandered, and he didn't speak.There was a brief silence in the hall.

Jiang Yuhuan said: "There is still a chance to explain now. We once captured a corpse insect host in the middle stage of foundation establishment in Chu State. His name is Jiang Taihua, and he is a loose cultivator in Qi State. I wonder if you know him?"

"He refused to cooperate with the confession just like you. In the end, we brought him back to the sect, dissected his body by the Forbidden Secret Division, and forcibly read his memory with secret techniques. Only then did we know that the black hands behind all this had come We have passed through Qi State, so we followed the clues to come here."

"His death was ugly, and he suffered a lot of torture and pain before his death. Of course, this was not our intention, because he refused to explain, so we can only dissect his body to find the reason for his mutation, and finally found it in his body. Take out the corpse worm parasitic on his body."

"After pulling out the corpse worm, he woke up from a coma, and his whole body was distorted by pain. Finally, he begged us to kill him."

"Your situation is more complicated than his. I think you should be aware of this. Over the years, you may have met many monks who have encountered the same situation as you. You are different from them. You are special."

"If you don't cooperate, we have to dissect you. Because of your uniqueness, we will keep you awake, watch your reaction, and look for the characteristics of corpse insects. Whether you want it or not, we can learn from you , to get some information we want to know."

The man was obviously touched, as Jiang Yuhuan's words fell to the ground, there were subtle perspiration dripping from his forehead, and his eyes kept flickering.

Tangning took advantage of this and continued, "You understand that we are not trying to scare you. If you are stubborn, what I just said will soon come true for you. We have been researching the characteristics of corpse insects for the past few years, and they have already achieved initial results. Its state is also helping many hosts like you get rid of corpse bugs in their bodies and return to normal monk life, and the effect is good. What choice do you have to make, think carefully."

The hall fell into silence again, and no one spoke again. The man's forehead was stained with more and more sweat, and it was obvious that he was fighting hard in his heart. After a long time, he said in a voice like a mosquito: "Can you guarantee my safety?"

Jiang Yunsheng said: "We will try our best to help you get rid of the corpse worms in your body. As long as you cooperate and truthfully state everything you know, we will not do anything to you. There is no enmity between us, and the Shuiyun Sect doesn't care about a builder. Now that you know everything you need to know about the life and death of Cultivator Basic, there is no reason to kill you for no reason! We are not vicious demon sects."

The man said: What do you want to know? "

"Let's talk about your situation first! Who is your last name? Where is your family name?"

"Wang Xuan, Wu Guo loose cultivator."

The three of them looked at each other, but they didn't expect this person to be a monk from Wu Guolai.

"When did you find out that your body was mutated?"

The man said: "Two years ago, on my way back to Dongfu from Fangshi, I was attacked by a masked monk and captured by him. After that, I fell into a coma for a long time, until I woke up in a secret basement, faintly Jojo heard the sound of fighting."

"I hurriedly escaped from the basement and saw three men fighting together. I didn't dare to stay for long, so I ran away quickly. At that time, I was already like this. I didn't know until later that I had been in a coma for a long time. Half a month long."

"After escaping from that basement, I was terrified of what I looked like. I didn't know what that man had done to me, so I hid in a deep mountain."

"Not two days later, the moon was full, and I fell into a coma again. When I woke up, I came to a barren mountain and found blood and pieces of meat all around me. I recalled some memory fragments and knew that this person had been killed. I devoured it."

"I escaped from that place. On the second day, I found out that a son of the local Xun family was missing and was attacked. At that time, there were two survivors watching. The Xun family was looking for the murderer with great fanfare. I knew that person was me, no If you dare to stay for a long time, you will flee to the state of Qi."

"Afterwards, every full moon day, I would fall into unconsciousness. After several times of unconsciously preying on monks, I discovered the pattern, so I would arrest some monks in advance to prepare, so as not to run around and be caught when unconscious. "

The three of them couldn't help but their eyes lit up after listening to his narration. Gai Shiren still remembered the process of becoming the host of corpse worms, which had never been encountered among the captured monks before, and all those people lost this memory.

Jiang Yunsheng hurriedly asked: "Where is that basement? Who attacked you?"

The man said: "The basement is at the bottom of a remote canyon in the south of Wu Kingdom. The monk who attacked me was wearing a black robe and a mask. I couldn't see his appearance clearly. I only knew that the other party was a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk."

The monks in the late foundation establishment period should be the same person as the information they got from Jiang Taihua's memory before.

Tangning asked, "When you fled, there were three monks fighting. Do you know who they are? Have you seen their appearance clearly?"

"I didn't see it clearly. At that time, I was just running for my life, so I glanced at them from a distance, and I didn't detect their cultivation level, but I can be sure that they are all foundation-building stage monks."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "Tell me about the situation in that basement in detail. What state were you in at that time? Are there other people around besides you? Is there anything special about the basement?"
