Ask Immortal Way

"Ask the Immortal Way"

I'm late.

Qin Sang stepped into the cave and found that the inside was extremely deep.

Judging from the traces, the cave was not formed by external force, but a force erupted inside, blowing up the cave and the entire lake.

Over time, the traces are weathered, erasing valuable information.

Qin Sang couldn't judge whether this force came from the cave itself, or the damage caused by the intruders' forced entry by some means.

What is certain is that this place is no longer suitable as a cave.

"The vicissitudes of life!"

Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It is hard to say how much of the content that senior Xiaoxiangzi recorded on the jade slips is valuable. I'm afraid there are quite a few similar to this one, either discovered or destroyed.

If Senior Xiaoxiangzi hadn't mentioned that only cultivators in the Transformation Stage could discover the secret of the Buddha bone relic, he wouldn't dare to have too much expectation.

Under the rift valley, day and night are not clear.

He pinched his fingers and unknowingly searched in the Sky Rift Valley for more than a month.

According to the law of cloud and gas changes in the Tianrift Valley, the valley will only open once every ten years, and the duration of each maintenance can be as short as ten days or as long as nearly a month.

Now is the most dangerous time for the Sky Rift Valley, most of the monks have withdrawn from the valley.

Qin Sang returned in vain, and had no interest in exploring the secrets of the Sky Rift Valley, so he planned to return the same way.

…

In the sky rift valley.

One side of the cliff was covered with vines, densely packed.

It's as if giant pythons are entrenched here. It's obviously a place full of vitality, but because the vines are gray, it has an indescribable gloomyness.

'Whoosh! Whoosh! '

Straight winds passed through the gaps between the vines, playing faint whistles.

There was only the sound of the wind on the entire cliff, and there was no roar of beasts or insects, which aggravated this feeling even more.

At this moment, in a slightly wider rock crevice, there were actually two figures lurking under the vines, peeking carefully at the top of the cliff through the gap of the vines.

It was a man and a woman, the woman was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and her complexion was sickly, but the man was a Jindan Master.

What made them treat it so cautiously, as if they were facing an enemy, was a stone cave on the top of the cliff.

The inside of the cave is pitch black.

The wind brought a foul smell.

They crawled here, motionless, and had been lurking for more than ten days, resisting the stench, and did not dare to use secret techniques to block the smell, for fear of missing the opportunity.

The woman was used to the stench, and she glanced at the man beside her who was staring intently at the top, her eyes were full of tenderness, her lips were slightly parted, and she was careful to transmit the sound, but her tone was worried.

"Brother, the Sky Rift Valley has been closed."

"That news can't tell the flowering period of this Snake Shadow Flower. It can only provide an approximate time. It's our bad luck that it didn't bloom when the valley opened."

The man sighed, "If you miss this plant, I don't know how long you will have to wait. Junior sister, you can't wait any longer for your illness. Refining this Snake Shadow Flower will give you a buffer time. I will find a cure for you when I go to Qiongbiluo for my brother." The elixir. Master asked me to take good care of you before he died, how can I break my promise as a brother, I must get it this time."

"But…"

The woman looked anxious, but was interrupted by the man.

"Junior sister forgot that being a brother is not what it used to be?"

The man pretended to be relaxed, "Brother is already a Golden Core cultivator, and the Sky Rift Valley is not as dangerous as before. Moreover, Brother Wei specially asked someone to refine a sun umbrella before leaving. Thunder disasters are also capable of resisting..."

At this moment, there was a hint of fragrance in the stench.

The stench is too strong and the fragrance is so light that it is easy to be ignored.

The two of them had been lurking for many days, waiting for this moment. When Dang Lian noticed something strange in the smell, the man immediately swallowed the following words, and said pleasantly: "I'm going to lure that eagle demon away, junior sister remembers, once After a cup of tea, the Snake Shadow Flower will fully bloom, and the medicinal power is the best, remember to refine it directly with secret techniques, and it cannot be picked!"

This exhortation has been said countless times, but the man is still worried.

What the woman felt was warmth, staring at the man's resolute face, and softly advised: "I'm already dying of illness, if there is nothing I can do, brother, please don't..."

"Don't talk stupid!"

The man categorically stopped the woman, and he couldn't help but rush out, sacrificed his sword, and stabbed straight into the cave.

The next moment, an angry scream came from the cave, sharp and ear-piercing.

The sword flew out, its light dimmed.

The evil wind followed closely behind, and the strong stench was comparable to poisonous gas, making people dizzy. In the evil wind was a monster with a body like an eagle and a neck like a snake.

It's like half of a snake's body inlaid on an eagle's body, it's very weird.

Seeing that the snake eagle was easily drawn out, the man was secretly happy, and he took the initiative to fight the snake eagle without any fear.

It's a pity that the man's alchemy didn't last long, and he couldn't get close to him. Facing the demon alchemy snake eagle, he was weaker by three points at first, and soon fell into a disadvantage.

The woman was still hiding in the crevice of the stone, her face full of tension.

The black demon wind filled the air, covering the sky and the sun, and there was no shadow of a person or a demon.

She knew that her senior brother was trying his best to lure Snake away and create opportunities for her.

As time went by, the scent of the Snake Shadow Flower became stronger and stronger, and it was almost time to bloom. The Snake Eagle couldn't kill the man, and its cry became sharper, attracted by the fragrance of the flower, and returned to the cave intentionally.

But the man started to counterattack frantically, completely forgetting about his scarred self, and desperately entangled the snake eagle.

With tears in her eyes, the woman bit her cherry lips tightly, not daring to look up to the sky, and quickly sneaked into the cave.

At this critical moment, Snake Eagle made a shocking move.

The snake eagle who was fighting fiercely with the man suddenly seemed to be petrified, and forgot to attack. The man slashed at the root of its wing, woke up like a dream, and let out a hoarse neigh.

Different from before, the cry this time is not only painful, but also full of panic, as if it has encountered its natural enemy nemesis.

Even men can feel the fear in Snake Eagle's heart.

Immediately afterwards, the Snake Eagle even forgot about the cave and the elixir, fluttered its wings, and fled in a hurry. It didn't even have time to adjust its body, and fled crookedly.

Seeing that Snake Eagle didn't return to the cave, the man didn't stop him anymore.

But this strange scene made him bewildered, and a strong sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

What exactly is the existence that makes the snake eagle fear?

The man suppressed the shock in his heart, and hurriedly landed at the entrance of the cave. Seeing that his junior sister was concentrating on refining the Snake Shadow Flower, he turned around and looked around blankly.

The next moment, the man saw a terrifying scene that he would never forget in his life. A coolness poured into his body from the top door, and his blood coagulated.

Deep in the rift valley, there are many pinnacles.

At the end of the field of vision, the clouds on the horizon are a bit yellowish, but if you look carefully, you can see that it is a mass of yellow clouds.

The yellow cloud is like fire, covering the sky and covering the earth, and it is spreading to them at an alarming speed. There is a mass of blackness in front of it, which is actually a flock of birds driven by Huang Yun.

It was Huang Yun who scared the snake eagle away.

"Brother, did you beat the Snake Eagle away?"

The woman had already refined the Snake Shadow Flower, and was preparing to slowly absorb the medicinal power in her body when she was safe. She walked over from behind, and she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the Snake Eagle disappear.

Before the words fell, the woman noticed that her senior brother had a strange expression. Following his gaze, she saw the yellow cloud approaching rapidly in the distance. Her whole body trembled, with deep fear on her face, and she murmured in despair, "Ghost fire insect cloud!"

"Go!"

The man grabbed the woman's arm and was about to use his body to escape, but suddenly there was a pain in his palm and the woman forcibly broke free.

"Junior Sister..."

The man turned his head in shock, only to see that the woman had distanced herself from him, with tears streaming down her eyes, but she looked at him resolutely and shook her head at him repeatedly.

With the woman, the two of them will undoubtedly die.

If he walks by himself, there may still be a glimmer of life.

After searching for a cure for many years, they just saw the hope, but they were immediately thrown into the abyss by the cruel reality.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice intervened between the two of them.

"I didn't expect to meet two lovers here, but I'm right."

The two were shocked, and followed the sound, only to see a figure slowly appearing in front of the cave, without any fluctuations, if the other party did not take the initiative to make a sound, they would not have noticed it at all.

At any other time, the two of them would have felt terrified and guarded.

At this moment, the man's eyes ignited the light of hope.

"Is this a worm cloud?"

The person who came was Qin Sang who was about to leave the valley.

"Senior, this kind of yellow cloud is exactly the worm cloud," the man said, ignoring the woman's urging, and cupped his hands. "Inside the worm cloud is a terrible poisonous insect called ghost worm. Countless ghost worms swallow poisonous mist, like fire and clouds. It is one of the three most terrible insect disasters in Tianrift Valley, ghost fire insect cloud. When encountering ghost fire insect cloud, there is only one way to escape. If ghost fire insect cloud catches up, you can only fake death by taking Guixi pill, and then use Huoyan pill to ward off the poison. There may be a chance, but the price of these pills..."

The man spoke quickly, and when he reached the end, his expression was helpless.

The veteran Jindan stage monk could afford these two kinds of elixir, but he had just formed the elixir and paid almost all of his net worth for the news of the Snake Shadow Flower.

"Ghost bug?"

Qin Sang was thoughtful.

Just as he expected, the languages ​​of Zhongzhou and Beihai came from the same source, and the difference caused by this development can be easily adapted to the cultivators with a long-term memory, not to mention the Tonghui Mantra specially used for such situations.

The important texts in the world of cultivating immortals and the ancient books unearthed in the two places are basically the same.

According to Qin Sang's knowledge, there are several kinds of spirit insects that form insect clouds of similar shape, but 'ghost insects' are not included.

Qin Sang realized that this should be the name of the local monks.

The celestial eye butterfly can see through insect clouds, but these are just poisonous clouds swallowed by ghost insects. The poisonous clouds are expanding rapidly, and the army of ghost insects is still behind.

The place where the poisonous cloud passed was not like the locust swarm passing through the border, which devoured all the vegetation and creatures, but the damage it brought was more than that.

Touching the poisonous cloud, the vegetation withered one after another, and the vitality was completely lost.

Countless birds and beasts fled desperately, and in the end they could not escape the fate of being swallowed by the poisonous cloud. In an instant, the vitality and blood of the whole body were sucked away, leaving only a shriveled body.

The poisonous cloud is like a huge monster, devouring the life of the world wantonly, and wherever it passes, life is in jeopardy.

However, the Sky Rift Valley is not an ordinary place, and it can be restored to its former vitality within half a year.

Finally, Tianmudie found the ghost worm in the depths of the poisonous cloud.

"It turned out to be Phosphorus firefly!"

Qin Sang was stunned.

This kind of spirit worm has limited combat power and is not suitable for being a Gu worm.

If the number is small, the power is not enough, and if the number of control is too large, it will bring a great burden to the cultivator, and the gain outweighs the loss.

However, when the population of Phosphorus fireflies reaches a certain level, the poisonous cloud will change, and it is an existence that can make high-level immortal cultivators shy away. The larger the number, the more terrifying it is.

Seeing that Qin Sang didn't say a word, the man was extremely anxious, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Qin Sang saw through his thoughts, smiled and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

The man was stunned, and rushed out of the cave, looking back, truly understanding the feeling of despair.

Behind them, there was also a cloud of insects, and the two clouds of insects were encircling them, and it was impossible to escape.

At this moment, Qin Sang didn't care about the pair of mandarin ducks, and set up a few formation flags, set up a large formation to isolate the breath in the cave, and called out to Fat Silkworm at the same time.

After swallowing the poisonous sac of the frogfish, the fat silkworm has been sleeping soundly.

Qin Sang was worried that it would survive the catastrophe in the storm belt, but there is no sign of breaking through until now.

The spiritual formation was completed in one go, and the formation flag was shrouded in a vague shadow. Qin Sang stepped in, and his figure disappeared immediately. The fat silkworm was awakened, reluctantly spit out the halo of anti-poison, and blended into the shadows.

"Not coming in yet!"

Qin Sang's voice reached the ears of the two of them, it was like the sound of nature.

The already desperate two were overjoyed, and entered the formation cautiously, acting cautiously.

"Junior Zhou Jin, she is junior junior sister Ruan Yu. Senior's life-saving grace, this junior will remember it deeply, and will never forget it for the rest of his life. There is no repayment for being crushed to pieces."

Before the poisonous cloud arrived, he already believed that Qin Sang could help them survive the catastrophe.

Qin Sang cast a spell to build up a stone wall to block the entrance of the cave, looked sideways at Ruan Yu, and said amidst the uneasy expressions of the two: "Golden Danqi~www.readwn.com~ is also useful. Since you want to repay, give me I can do one thing."

Zhou Jin gritted her teeth, "Please tell me, senior, and I will do my best to repay you, junior."

"Don't be so reluctant."

Qin Sang said indifferently, "The evil essence of Guishui has penetrated into the heart veins... um, no! It has already merged with the evil spirit. I am afraid that the evil spirit has already entered the body when the fetus was born, leaving the root of the disease. It's not a good life for a few years. This elixir is only to relieve the time of the attack, and death is inevitable."

Qin Sang's words were cold and cruel.

Instead of being surprised, the two were overjoyed, and immediately knelt down, "Senior, help!"

"I may have a pill in my hand, which can suppress evil spirits, but I'm only 30% sure of eliminating hidden dangers. This medicine is not difficult to refine, and the pill can be given to you, provided you do things well."

Qin Sang focused on the outside of the cave.

The insect cloud has arrived, and the poisonous cloud can actually penetrate the rocks, invade in, and plunder all life, but it is firmly blocked by the fat silkworm's anti-poison armor.

Hearing this, Zhou Jin and Ruan Yu looked at each other.

They don't know if this senior is trustworthy, but this person is the only straw they can grab.

And Qin Sang did not exaggerate the efficacy of the medicine, invisibly adding a little more credibility.

Ruan Yu held Zhou Jin's hand tightly, feeling worried.

Zhou Jin no longer hesitated, "Follow the orders of seniors!"

Qin Sang took out a blank jade slip, "Your cultivation is already qualified to leave the Northern Wilderness to travel. Go to the Misty Rain Nineteen Prefectures and collect some information for me. The place names may change, so try to prove it yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Sang stopped his movements and let out a little surprise.

The fat silkworm that was lazily lying on his palm became agitated for some reason, and Gu Lu turned over, shaking his head and tail, urging Qin Sang to leave the cave, there seemed to be something attracting it outside.
