Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 338 Helmsman ([-])

The man was silent for a while, with horror in his eyes: "At that time, I was lying on a stone bed, with only skin and bones left under my head, which is what I look like now. There are also long and thin black tubes inserted into my body, from head to toe. There are dozens of feet."

"There is also a stone bed on my left side, on which lay an obese woman with a swollen belly. Rather than saying that she is a human being, it is better to say that she is a sow in human skin."

"A part of the black tube on my body is connected to her body, and small red bugs are constantly crawling from her body through the tube into my body."

"On my right side are four or five transparent crystal boxes, about a foot high, filled with squirming flesh and blood, beating regularly like a human heart."

"One of the crystal boxes is connected to a tube in another part of my body, which is also filled with flesh and blood."

"In addition, behind me there are three feet-high crystal boxes, which contain three naked women. The crystal boxes are full of green unknown liquid."

"There is a row of cabinets and a stone table in front of it. There are many bottles and jars on the stone table. Some of the bottles are transparent. I can see colorful liquids and powders inside."

"The room is filled with a pungent stench, and the Yin Qi is very strong, and the Yin Qi in the house has condensed into a substantial black mist."

"There are as many as seven or eight rooms like this in the entire basement. I was terrified at the time, so I didn't check them all. I tore off the thin black tubes on my body and fled in a hurry."

Listening to him talking about the weirdness of the basement, Tangning couldn't help but feel hair standing on end as she imagined the scene at that time. It was no wonder that this man's eyes were full of horror, no one could hold back it!

Jiang Yunsheng asked: "In the past two years, have you met monks who have suffered the same as you? Do you think you are different from them?"

The man said: "I have met two qi refining monks in Qi State, and I can vaguely feel that their situation is the same as mine, because when I approach them, I have an indescribable feeling of urgency."

"The first time was when I first came to the Qi Kingdom, when I was passing through Lantian County, my heart suddenly moved. It seemed that something was pulling me."

"Following my feelings, I came to a deep mountain, and I met a Qi Refining Loose Cultivator. I talked with him about our respective situations, and knew that he, like me, would fall into a coma every time the moon was full."

"The second time was near Luobiyuanfang City. I found another qi refining casual cultivator based on my intuition. So far, I know that there are many monks like me, and they can communicate with each other. I dare not meet them again , I was afraid of exposing myself, and every time I felt heart palpitations, I hurried away."

"The biggest difference between me and them is in appearance, their appearance has not changed at all, while I..."

Jiang Yunsheng continued: "We once captured an undead essence host. He confessed that he met a foundation establishment host in the deep mountains of Lantian County. I think it should be you. But he said that you gave him a very different feeling. It's different from other hosts, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, I don't feel that way."

Tangning asked, "Do you know that you have obtained a powerful self-healing ability?"

"I don't know. Ever since I became like this, I have been hiding in XZ and never fought with anyone. When catching "prey", I always pick some low-cultivation disciples who have never been injured."

The three questioned for a long time, and finally Jiang Yunsheng waved his hand and ordered the disciples of Shuiyun Sect to pin him down.

"Tang Daoyou, Jiang Daoyou, what do you think?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "I think his various anomalies, including the incomplete shape of his body and feeling different from other hosts, etc., are all due to an accident in the process of becoming a corpse worm host, which is why he can remember The reason for the situation at that time."

"The person behind the scenes was attacked by an unknown monk during the process of refining him into a corpse worm host, so that he didn't complete the last step of refining, and he woke up unexpectedly, which made him different from others."

Jiang Yunsheng nodded and said: "Looking at his figure, I think the people behind the scenes wanted to refine him into a puppet mummy, but an accident resulted in his inhuman and ghostly appearance."

Tang Ning said, "Didn't your sect seize two mummified corpses in Luanshigang? How is it different from this person?"

Jiang Yunsheng said: "Those two mummies only had the cultivation of Qi refining. They had the first generation of undead essence in their bodies, and they had no ability of immortality and self-healing function. When we found them, the undead essence in their bodies was withered and dying. We determined that the two mummies were A failed experiment, that's why it's still there."

"The only similarity between them is that the source of immortality is attached to their bones."

"I think this is the difference between the two refining methods. If the source of undead essence is hidden in the flesh and blood of a monk, the host has an autonomous consciousness. If it is attached to the bones, it is refined into a puppet mummy."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "There is one more thing that needs to be noticed. What this person said just now is that there are four or five transparent crystal boxes containing squirming flesh and blood, and one of them is connected to his body. Does it mean that the crystal box contains The flesh and blood belonged to him. According to this speculation, at least four or five mummified puppets have been trained before him."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "This possibility is not ruled out. Two fellow Taoists, I want to send him back to the sect for research and observation. This matter needs to be reported to our sect as soon as possible. As for the next step, I will report it to the Ming sect. After getting the order, the matter happened in Wu country, and I can't make decisions on my own."

Tang Ning and Jiang Yuhuan nodded. They already knew the information they wanted. They had no reason to prevent Jiang Yunsheng from pressing him back to Shui Yunzong. Besides, a foundation cultivator was not a big deal. Their real target was the helmsman behind him.

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

The snow-covered mountains stretch for thousands of miles, narrow and long from north to south, like a giant dragon lurking.The snow on the mountain does not melt all the year round, covering the whole mountain range in white.

The Shuiyun Sect was hidden in this mountain range. Jiang Yunsheng pressed Wang Xuan through the light curtain and entered the sect. After reporting to the Mountain Guard Division, he went to the Forbidden Secret Division to report to the deacon Wei Tong.

The two came to a cave, Wei Tong waved his hand, and handed in a talisman.

Soon, a ray of light flashed out of the cave and landed in front of the two of them, revealing the figure of a slim woman: "Brother Wei, Master invites you inside."

The two followed her into the cave, and came to a room where a thin old man with white beard and hair was sitting cross-legged.It was their immediate boss, Feng Jianxing, the director of the Secret Academy.

"Disciples Wei Tong and Jiang Yunsheng pay respects to Master Feng." The two saluted
The old man opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "What's the matter?"

"The disciple captured a host of the undead essence source in the foundation building period, and he said..." Jiang Yunsheng reported the content of the interrogation truthfully: "I will ask my uncle to decide how to deal with this matter."

"Do the people from Gan Yizong know about this?" the old man asked

"The disciple originally didn't want them to know, and was about to escort the host back, but they disagreed and insisted on interrogating him on the spot. The disciple had no choice but to agree, as he couldn't find a way to evade it for a while."

Feng Jianxing said: "The method of refining such undead creatures is quite novel. The people behind the scenes are of great value to us. If we can master the principles of this method and improve it, and promote it in the sect, it will be of great help to us." The improvement of the Zongmen’s combat power has many benefits. Therefore, you have to keep an eye on some monks from the Yizong, and I think their purpose is the same. But there is a principle, try not to conflict with them, and put the overall situation first.”

Jiang Yunsheng said: "I know that the movements of the monks of Qianyizong have always been under our control. However, now that the clues appear in the territory of Wu State, which does not belong to our jurisdiction, many things are inconvenient to do. What should I do next, please master Uncle show me."

"I will send other people to bring the undead essence host you captured to the country of Wu to investigate. You don't have to worry about this matter for the time being. You go back and stabilize the monks on the side of Gan Yizong."

"Yes, the disciple understands."

"Go!"

"Disciple farewell." Jiang Yunsheng and Wei Tong exited the cave and disappeared.

………………

The wind howled and the rain poured down.A ray of light fell from the deserted graveyard, revealing the figure of a slender woman with red lips and white teeth.She was really a beautiful woman, but her expression was cold, like ice that would not melt for thousands of years, which made people daunted.

The woman came to a tombstone, turned the tombstone around, and the ground parted on both sides, revealing a wide passageway of bluestone steps.

The two sides of the steps are two to three feet wide, and they extend toward the bottomless darkness of the ground.

The woman walked down, the sound of "da da" footsteps echoed in the empty passage, and the cracked ground closed silently.

The passage was dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. After walking hundreds of stone steps, it was suddenly bright, and the kerosene lamps on both sides were all lit.

Two tall and thin figures appeared in front of the eyes, standing at the end of the stone wall, completely devoid of flesh and blood, and the two eyeballs in the sunken eyeballs turned around, as if they were about to fall down when they lowered their heads, they turned out to be two mummified corpses.

The woman stepped forward, and the mummy on the left touched the stone wall, and the stone wall parted suddenly.

A deep corridor appeared before the eyes, and several mummies stood on both sides of the corridor.

Passing through the long corridor, it suddenly becomes clear that it is an empty basement room, covering an area of ​​several miles.

In the meantime, there is a cloudy atmosphere, accompanied by the pungent smell of blood.

The woman was expressionless, turning a blind eye, as if she had already gotten used to it, walked through several rooms, and came to the hall in the middle.

I saw a fat woman lying on the stone bed, with dozens of small black tubes stuck in her body.

There are more than a dozen crystal boxes placed on both sides of the stone bed, which contain all kinds of weird things.There was black unknown liquid, squirming flesh and blood, blue gas, yellow powder, and several naked corpses.

Each crystal box has two thin black tubes connected to the fat woman on the stone bed.

One of the thin black tubes is densely packed with crimson worms surging back and forth, and the other one is feeding the objects in the crystal box into the body of the obese woman on the stone bed.

On the stone bed, the obese woman had been disemboweled, and countless crimson worms grew out of "it", and crawled into the crystal box along the black thin tube.

In front of the stone bed, a slender man was bowing his head, concentrating on fiddling with the crimson worms and the strange things in the crystal box, kneading them together, and putting them into the belly of the fat woman.
