Chapter 230: Nine-headed snake vine, murderous intent, underground tomb
Chapter 230: Hydra vine, murderous intent, underground tomb
The Demon-Controlling City.
When the city was first built, in addition to the main gate, Master Yu followed Fu Changsheng's advice and set up a side gate in the southeast, northwest, and northeast directions, as well as a secret door.
Ordinary times.
People in the city can enter and exit through the side door.
When there is danger outside, the side door will be closed, and the secret door is set up for people like them to travel.
After controlling the flying boat and activating the invisible restriction, he came out of the secret door. The Tai Chi locust outside did not find anything unusual.
They are responsible for the southwest direction.
Yu Qingru saw Fu Changsheng walking further and further away, and encountered several second-level Taiji locusts on the way without any intention of stopping. At first, she thought Fu Changsheng was investigating the situation outside, but after crossing the Hanling River, Fu Changsheng still went forward. She couldn't help but wonder:
"Changsheng, if you go further, you will reach the borderline between the Gongsun family and the Cao family."
"Well, let's go to Cao's house first."
He had to get the coffin forged from star stone in the Cao family cemetery first.
Yu Qingru heard this and didn't ask any more questions.
The flying boat continued to move at a constant speed.
When they arrived at the Cao family's land, they saw that although the Ninth-Rank Family Archway was still standing there, all the spiritual energy had been devoured and the entire clan mountain was bare.
There is no spiritual energy in the mountain anymore.
The corpses of the secular members of the Cao family were scattered all over the ground. The flesh and blood of these corpses had been devoured, leaving only dry bones, which were used by the Tai Chi locusts as their nests to go in and out.
See this scene.
Yu Qingru felt sad in her heart. If their Yu family had not followed the Fu family, they would probably have suffered the same fate as the Cao family. Fortunately, the Fu family built a demon-controlling city that could accommodate countless mortals.
When Fu Changsheng went up from the mountain gate.
The spiritual consciousness moved.
He raised his hand to signal Yu Qingru, who was driving the flying boat, to stop.
There were intermittent sounds of fighting coming from the mountain.
It was estimated that they were independent cultivators and children of nearby noble families who came to the Cao family's land with the mentality of picking up treasures.
Fu Changsheng didn't want to cause any trouble, so he pointed to the back mountain and whispered:
"We'll go around from the west side."
He only wanted the star stone coffin in the Cao family cemetery.
The flying boat changed direction.
The speed suddenly increased.
Arrived at the back mountain.
This was originally the Cao family's forbidden area, and only the family heads of all generations could enter, but now the gate is wide open.
The cemetery was a mess.
You can see that there is a cultivated spiritual medicine garden at the entrance. The spiritual flowers and herbs in the garden have been devoured, and there is a corpse lying on the side. It should be the spiritual herb husband who guards the spiritual medicine garden.
There is a small wooden house not far from the medicine garden.
Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense.
A storage bag was found on the stone table in the cabin.
He made a fierce gesture with his right hand.
The storage bag on the stone table floated over in an instant.
Fu Changsheng took a glance.
Eyes light up:
"It's actually the Hydra Vine"
The Hydra Vine is a unique spiritual plant that is shaped like a vine, covered with red scales, and exudes an alluring aroma. A green fruit is wrapped around the vine, shaped like a green snake with nine heads.
The fruit of the Hydra vine is a rare second-grade premium spiritual fruit that can be directly swallowed and refined to repair and enhance spiritual consciousness.
He had just split his spiritual consciousness.
This Hydra fruit is just right for him:
"Qingru, set up the formation!"
The cemetery on the back mountain is densely packed with countless graves.
There are also many Tai Chi locusts clinging to it.
It would be difficult to find the Star Stone Coffin in a short time, so it would be better to set up a formation and search slowly.
Yu Qingru responded.
One shot storage bag.
A flash of glow.
One formation flag after another fell, and as the eight formation plates fell according to the eight trigrams, there was a humming sound, and a red light curtain lit up on the entire back mountain, accompanied by a spell that hit the central formation plate.
The red light curtain trembled slightly and then disappeared.
hum!
Sensing the abnormality, the Tai Chi locusts immediately rushed out from the tombs, and in a flash their number reached tens of thousands.
Fu Changsheng drew a cloud around the Purple Fairy Tower.
The green python that broke through to the peak of the second stage roared out, opened its mouth, and with a bang, a ball of flame erupted, emitting a scorching breath.
The Tai Chi locust, which was originally afraid of fire, was contaminated by the flames.
There was a sizzling smell of burning, and the corpses fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
After the breakthrough, the lethality of the flames ejected by the green python was significantly enhanced, and it was very good at group attacks.
They hardly had to take any action.
After half a cup of tea.
The cemetery was littered with the corpses of Tai Chi locusts.
"Roar!"
The green python opened its mouth and was about to swallow.
But Fu Changsheng quickly stopped him:
"Xiaoqing, wait."
Fu Changsheng deliberately kept a first-level Tai Chi locust. At this time, the Tai Chi locust was spreading its long tentacles and quickly drawing the energy of its own kind into its body.
As time passes.
The aura of the Tai Chi locust continued to rise.
hum!
When the color of its armor turned gold, its aura also turned into the second level, and in a short time it condensed a golden demon pill.
"This is the Tai Chi locust."
Fu Changsheng always felt that their advancement speed was too fast, too outrageous, as if the original Tai Chi locusts were just his clones, and once the clones died, the energy would automatically be fed back to him.
hum!
After the Tai Chi locust broke through, it immediately flapped its wings and pounced on the enemy.
Fu Changsheng swung his sword.
An arrow transformed from purple energy pierced through its abdomen like lightning, and the second-level Tai Chi locust, which was in a weak period after the breakthrough, died instantly.
Fu Changsheng waved his hand.
A golden demon pill flew up from the Tai Chi locust's body and landed in his palm.
Fifty imperial merit points were obtained.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Qingru, you guard the magic circle, I'll go to the cemetery below to take a look"
The treasure house is less than a thousand feet away from the back mountain.
Gongsun Wen led the three to search around and cursed, "This Cao family still claims to be a ninth-grade treasure house. Damn it, the treasure house is just some scrap copper and rotten iron. There is not a single treasure. I made this trip in vain."
The four people talked.
When coming out of the treasure house.
But suddenly a light curtain of formation appeared in the direction of the back mountain:
"Hey, could it be that the Cao family's treasure is hidden in the back mountain?"
Gongsun Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
is about to pass.
Suddenly, four rainbow lights fell in front of him. When they faded away, they were the four people led by the Second Elder Cao. When Cao Xueyang saw Gongsun Wen and the other three, his face turned very ugly and he said in a cold voice:
"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, hand over the things in our Cao family's treasure house!"
"How dare a stray dog bark in front of me!"
Gongsun Wen was too lazy to pay attention to Cao Xueyang.
The Cao family is only of the ninth rank.
And now I am afraid that I can't even keep my ninth rank, and I still dare to challenge him. It's simply overestimating my own ability. He waved his hand and said:
"Let's go to the back mountain and take a look."
"If you don't leave your things behind, none of you can leave today!"
Cao Xueyang could not stand such contempt, so he dodged and blocked the four people's way with the Shanlan Purple Sword in hand. The other three members of the Cao family also surrounded them.
Gongsun Wen and the other three are all new to the foundation-building stage.
On the Cao family's side, the Second Elder and the Third Elder are both veterans in the foundation-building stage, and they are definitely not as powerful as the last one.
Gongsun Wen narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Well, well, you, the Cao family, actually dare to challenge the upper-class family. Just wait and see. Who cares about you, these rags of copper and iron?"
Gongsun Wen slapped his storage bag.
In an instant, more than a dozen spiritual materials were thrown to the ground, and the three people behind him also threw out more than a dozen spiritual materials.
Cao Xueyang took a quick look but was not very satisfied.
There are only so few things in their treasure trove, and yet they still have to ask for it.
But he was glared at by his father, and the second elder Cao gave way.
Gongsun Wen snorted coldly.
He took the three of them and left the Cao family.
At the foot of the mountain.
The three foundation-building masters behind Gongsun Wen could not swallow this insult:
"Brother Wen, are we just going to leave like this? There was clearly a formation fluctuation in the back mountain just now. Who knows if the Cao family's treasures are buried in there. Wouldn't it be a pity to just leave like this?"
"Don't worry, follow me. I'll let you suffer a loss someday. You guys will be fine in a moment."
Gongsun Wen quickly transmitted a few words.
Several tribesmen's eyes lit up and they gave a thumbs up:
"As expected of you, Brother Wen, who is resourceful!"
On the mountain.
Cao Xueyang picked up dozens of spiritual materials on the ground while mumbling, feeling very indignant:
"Father, the Gongsun family is such a scoundrel. We pay tribute to them every year, but when our family was in trouble, they didn't come to help. Now they are taking advantage of the situation to rob us. How can they be called an eighth-rank noble family? They are worse than bandits."
Second Elder Cao frowned.
Patiently said:
"Xueyang, think twice before you act. We are no longer the Cao family of the past. To avoid speaking out of turn, be more restrained."
"Oh"
Cao Xueyang lowered his head and responded.
The two of them walked around the treasure house and found that there was nothing left. When they arrived at the Sutra Library, they met several wandering cultivators, but they immediately retreated when they saw the people from the Cao family.
Take a turn.
I found that there was nothing left in the tribe.
Cao Xueyang's eyes fell on the back mountain:
"Father, let's go to the back mountain and take a look."
Previously, only the head of the family could enter the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Everyone present was curious about what was hidden inside.
Second Elder Cao nodded slightly.
Just about to leave.
Suddenly.
The spiritual consciousness moved.
But I saw a black cloud rolling and surging not far away, approaching the mountain gate at a very fast speed. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not a black cloud at all, but a group of Tai Chi locusts.
only.
There are too many Tai Chi locusts in this batch.
There are almost 100,000 of them.
among them.
Suddenly, the aura of ten second-level Tai Chi locusts emanated.
Cao Xueyang also saw it and swore:
"Damn it, it must be that little bastard Gongsun Wen who did this!" "We can't stay here any longer, let's go!"
Elder Cao II glanced at the back mountain reluctantly.
Cao Xueyang hesitated and said;
"Father, why don't we go into the shelter for a while?"
"No, that's the place where the Qi Refining Clan takes refuge. Once discovered by others, they will inevitably do something crazy. Let's go to Wanning Market, quickly!"
talking.
The four of them directly controlled the magic weapons and flew away.
but.
When they were suspended in the air, they found that Tai Chi locusts were surging out from all four directions.
Elder Cao's pupils shrank.
Gongsun Wen looked gentle and polite, but he had no intention of doing evil. However, he was merciless and immediately turned to the south and said:
"Form a formation and head south, quickly!"
Once this wave of Tai Chi locusts gather together.
Then they are afraid that someone will be killed here today.
At this moment.
The second elder Cao gritted his teeth and immediately sacrificed a second-grade top-grade Flame-Splitting Talisman. As he pinched the magic spell, with a humming sound, the Flame-Splitting Talisman lit up with a bright flame and turned into a sea of fire that submerged the Tai Chi locusts in the south.
Fortunately, among the four.
Two of them were practicing fire-attributed techniques.
With the Flame-Splitting Talisman clearing the way, he escaped safely.
In the back mountain.
After Fu Changsheng entered the cemetery.
He simply pointed at the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Pagoda, and the green-faced white fox on the second floor of the pagoda suddenly flashed out. Fu Changsheng fed the other party a few cloud heart fruits, and the green-faced white fox's tail, which was raised high, shook a little, and with a flash of green light, it sank into the ground.
At the same time, Fu Changsheng was quickly scanning each cemetery with his spiritual sense.
After more than ten breaths.
"chirp"
The green-faced white fox in front quickly jumped out from the ground.
He called out to Fu Changsheng twice:
“Found it so quickly.”
Fu Changsheng was delighted, and with a flash of his body, he followed the green-faced white fox into the ground.
After sinking a hundred feet.
A stone wall suddenly appeared in front of me.
The forbidden god prohibition was engraved on the stone wall, which was obviously a magic array:
"Could it be that the Star Stone Coffin is behind this stone wall?"
Fu Changsheng jumped out from underground, came to the surface, and came to Yu Qingru:
"Qingru, follow the green-faced white fox down to the ground. There is a hidden magic circle a hundred feet underground in the southwest. See if you can break it. I'll watch over here."
"it is good"
Yu Qingru handed the formation card that controlled the formation to Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense across the formation, practiced it for a while, and quickly mastered it.
After a while.
Fu Changsheng's spiritual consciousness moved.
Look up.
I noticed a swarm of Tai Chi locusts flying towards me from four directions in the sky.
The number is frightening.
and.
The target of these Tai Chi locusts is their cemetery in the back mountain.
So many Tai Chi locusts.
Yu Qingru's second-level magic circle couldn't last long.
Fu Changsheng looked back at Yu Qingru who had already entered the underground. If he chose to leave now, he still had a chance with the speed of the Green Python, but if he missed it, the things underground would no longer be his.
Opportunities are rare.
Fu Changsheng's eyes turned cold.
A cloud surrounds the Purple Fairy Tower.
buzzing.
Four second-order soul-eating insects rushed out.
The Soul-Eating Insect's armor is even more indestructible than that of the Tai Chi Locust.
Simultaneously.
The green python and the millipede mother also flew out of the pagoda one by one, and the three occupied three directions.
The Human Emperor Banner was waved violently.
The wind blows.
The autumn cicadas are chirping out.
Behind her followed several refined ghost soldiers, stationed on the south side of the formation.
Fu Changsheng flashed and floated above the magic circle.
I saw his thoughts move.
The Three-turn Green Lotus was suspended around his body, and as he chanted some spells, the three leaves of the Three-turn Green Lotus fell down and turned into a shield to protect him.
Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand.
The Nine-Turn Divine Lamp was suspended in front of him, accompanied by the sound of incantations.
There was a pop.
The Nine-Turn Magic Lamp was lit up instantly.
Followed by.
A breath that seemed to come from ancient time and space descended from the sky:
"chirp"
A tri-colored phoenix bird descended.
The tri-colored phoenix flapped its wings violently.
Endless flames fell in an instant.
The gathering Tai Chi locusts had no way to escape. Under the three-colored flames, they were instantly burned into pieces of charcoal, which fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
The originally powerful swarm of insects was wiped out by most of them in one go.
but.
The remaining first-level Tai Chi locusts, urged by the second-level Tai Chi locusts in the distance, fearlessly flew directly into the ground and began to devour the energy of their dead counterparts.
Fu Changsheng's Nine-Turn Magic Lamp.
The phoenix screamed.
Immediately pounced towards the second-level Tai Chi locust in the distance.
After reaching the second stage, the Tai Chi locust seemed to have gained some intelligence. It actually knew how powerful the phoenix was, flapped its wings and turned around and ran away.
at this time.
The phoenix's body also trembled slightly.
Then it collapsed.
The flame of the Nine-turn Magic Lamp went out instantly with a puff:
"what?"
what happened?
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
According to previous experience, the higher his cultivation level, the stronger the will of the phoenix he summoned, and the longer it would last. But just now, it only took three breaths of time for the phoenix to disintegrate.
Moreover, the Phoenix's aura was only at the critical state of the quasi-third stage:
"Could it be that the number of times this Nine Revolutions Magic Lamp can summon the Phoenix Bird has reached its limit?"
Or.
The phoenix in the upper realm is busy taking care of itself.
Fu Changsheng put the Nine Revolutions Magic Lamp into his storage bag.
His spiritual consciousness fell on the Tai Chi locust on the ground, which had evolved into the second stage. The spell changed, and there were crackling sounds, and the evil-repelling divine thunder fell down.
The ten newly promoted second-level Tai Chi locusts were directly blown into pieces of charcoal.
A wave of sleeves.
One by one, second-level demon pills flew up from the ground.
It fell into his palm.
Five hundred imperial merit points were obtained.
Add to the previous fifty.
This time out.
He has accumulated 550 court merit points.
The only regret is.
Something unexpected happened to the Nine-Turn Divine Lamp.
Otherwise, with the help of the tri-colored phoenix, it should be much easier to clear out the Tai Chi locusts in the fiefdom.
at the same time.
The Tai Chi locusts scattered in four directions were also killed one by one by Qiu Chan, Xiao Qing and Da Xiong.
Fu Changsheng's gaze fell on the foot of the mountain.
But at the foot of the mountain, four rainbow lights were seen leaving at a very fast speed.
After leaving the Cao family's fiefdom.
The rainbow light faded away.
Gongsun Wen was somewhat frightened.
The moment the three-colored phoenix appeared just now, he clearly felt a pressure that was vaguely from the great master of Purple Mansion. Before that, he didn't know who was hiding in the back mountain.
But I saw it clearly just now.
It was Fu Changsheng, the head of the Fu family:
"This Fu Changsheng can actually summon a three-colored phoenix to fight!!"
Gongsun Wen just felt a chill down his spine.
Fortunately, he did not take direct action just now, but instead took some effort to induce the Tai Chi locust to attack. Otherwise, he would have been the one to die under the claws of the tri-colored phoenix.
After calming down.
Gongsun Wen narrowed his eyes slightly:
"It seems that the reason why the Fu family was able to become rich so quickly must be due to the treasure that can summon the three-colored phoenix."
Such a treasure.
It would be a waste of talent if it fell into Fu Changsheng's hands.
If he had such a treasure, he would have carved out a niche for himself long ago:
"We must find a way to get this treasure!"
Fu Changsheng looked at the four rainbow lights in the distance.
He looked back at the cemetery.
Didn't catch up.
but.
But without a moment's hesitation, the thought came to his mind:
"Exchange Information"
hum!
The panel vibrates.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Followed by.
Lines of text appeared:
[1: The insect swarm just now was caused by Gongsun Wen, who wanted to use it to get rid of the two of you. After seeing the power of the three-colored phoenix, Gongsun Wen was determined to get this treasure.]
[2: Under the cemetery behind you, there is an underground tomb palace opened up by the ancestors of the Cao family. The coffin inside is forged from star stone.]
[3: There is a hidden magic circle in the Cao family ancestral hall. The Qi-refining members of the Cao family are hiding in the shelter below.]
