Chapter 278 Mother's keepsake, old woman with green lantern, counterattack
Fu Changsheng felt dizzy and after a brief darkness, a ray of white light suddenly burst out in front of his eyes. At the same time, a smell of decay hit him in the face.
hum!
His figure was instantly teleported into a quagmire.
A thought.
Fu Changsheng summoned out the third-level Precious Lotus Lantern at the first opportunity. The Precious Lotus Lantern spun around, and strands of green spiritual light fell and enveloped his body.
Look around.
But there are towering trees everywhere.
From time to time, the roars of monsters could be heard in the forest.
The majestic spiritual energy of heaven and earth even condensed into a thin belt of spiritual mist in the air.
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up slightly:
"With such abundant spiritual energy, this secret realm should contain a lot of high-level spiritual herbs."
And it opens once every hundred years.
There should be quite a few spiritual herbs that have matured.
Fu Changsheng stuffed a disguise pill into his mouth, maintaining Xu Changqing's appearance. Then, a cloud circled the Purple Fairy Tower. With a humming sound, a green-faced white fox on the second floor of the tower flashed out:
"chirp"
Feel the rich spiritual energy around.
The green-faced white fox was quite excited. With a flash of green light, it automatically went into the forest to look for spiritual creatures.
Not long after Fu Changsheng entered the forest, the green-faced white fox turned back and gestured to him: "You found the treasure so quickly?"
just in case.
Fu Changsheng used the invisibility technique.
Following the guidance of the green-faced white fox, they walked forward about three hundred feet.
However, in a pool of water, a snake vine came into view. On the vine hung three snake fruits that could be picked. This spiritual fruit was of the second-grade intermediate quality. For those in the middle stage of foundation building who were practicing water-attributed exercises, it was an excellent spiritual fruit for breaking through the bottleneck.
Fu Changsheng did not show up immediately.
If he remembered correctly, the snake vine had a companion monster, the second-level vine flower snake, guarding it, but in the pool, he did not sense the breath of the monster:
"wrong!"
Fu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
at the same time.
A cry of surprise rang out:
"Hahaha, this young master is truly the son of destiny. As soon as I landed, I found a snake vine. Not bad, not bad. It's a good start."
It turned out to be a male cultivator dressed in Tian family clothes who suddenly appeared beside the pool.
The male cultivator took a few steps, intending to pick some snake vine fruit from the pond, but he suddenly stopped and smiled coldly:
"My fellow Taoist hiding in the forest, if you are interested in this item, I am in a good mood and can give you one as a reward. Come out."
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
He had clearly used the breath-concealing and invisibility techniques from the very beginning.
The other party's spiritual awareness is so strong that he discovered me in an instant? !
Just hesitating.
But the man spoke loudly to the air again.
the end.
But the man breathed a sigh of relief:
“It doesn’t look like a trap.”
Fu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that the male cultivator had written and performed the play himself. He was quite a smart guy.
His target was the [Xuanyin Grass] and the [Human Emperor Banner], so he was not very interested in the snake vine. In order to avoid revealing his identity and causing unnecessary disputes, Fu Changsheng turned and left.
however.
Just walked a few steps.
Suddenly a scream was heard from behind.
Fu Changsheng was shocked and turned to look at the original pool, only to see that the male cultivator from the Tian family who had been so cautious by the pool had fallen to the ground.
There was a splash in the pool.
Another cultivator rose into the sky, also a man wearing Tian family clothing.
He just waved his sleeves.
He immediately picked up the storage bag on the ground, glanced at it, and muttered:
"What a poor fellow"
But I saw the other party rummaging through the storage bag.
Suddenly.
Eyes light up:
"Finally found it."
A torn parchment scroll appeared in the other party's hand.
The man flicked his index finger and a cluster of flames fell. After the corpse was burned to ashes, he left with satisfaction.
Fu Changsheng hid in the woods and watched all this, frowning.
It is impossible for the Tian family monks to kill each other.
The only possibility.
The bearded man just now, obviously, had pretended to be a member of the Tian family just like him, or he might have been a force planted in the Tian family by other forces from the very beginning.
Fu Changsheng was worried.
I decided to exchange some information first and see what happens.
A thought:
"Exchange Information"
hum!
The panel vibrates.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Then lines of text appeared:
[1: The man in the pool just now is from the Joyful Sect. His name is Yun Tiannan. He was a master cultivator of the Purple Mansion before his death. He was a spy sent by Master Yun of the Joyful Sect to Huaibei Prefecture to inquire about the cause of Yun Taiying’s death.]
Purple Mansion Overhaul? !
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
In other words.
The man just now was indeed a cultivator from the Tian family, but his body was possessed by another spirit.
Fu Changsheng was shocked.
It was the first time he encountered someone who possessed another's body.
"The people from the Joy Sect are really haunting us!"
The major families conducted strict investigations for several years.
Master Yun even thought of using the method of taking over another's body to insert someone in.
If they hadn't met by chance, and Yun Tiannan had traced back to find out that he was the one who killed Yun Taiying, then it would have been troublesome:
"It seems that Yun Tiannan cannot be kept!"
Although Yun Tiannan was a Purple Mansion during his lifetime, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage now. No matter what, he has to find a way to keep the person in this secret realm and kill him. Even if the people from the Huanxi Sect want to investigate the reason, they cannot come in.
The barrier here only opens once every hundred years.
It is a great time to kill people and bury the bodies.
Fu Changsheng had made up his mind and continued reading:
[2: Six hundred miles southwest of you, there is a Wangui Lake. In the Wangui Lake there is a Human Emperor Banner. Yun Tiannan will take out the Human Emperor Banner from the bottom of the lake in seven days.]
[3: Xuanyin Grass is on the second level of Yinluo Secret Realm]
[4: The monks from the five great families who came in have already started to contact each other and form teams.]
【5:.】
Fu Changsheng's eyes were fixed on the second piece of information.
His eyes narrowed slightly:
"Hmph, you came at the right time."
He immediately put the green-faced white fox into the Yunhuan Purple Fairy Tower. With a wave of his sleeves, the Human Emperor Banner appeared in his hand. There were gusts of cold wind in the banner, and the next moment, the autumn cicada flashed out.
Qiu Chan glanced around.
Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, he said with some excitement:
"Master, have we entered the Yinluo Secret Realm?"
"Well, Qiu Chan, let the three ghostly demons head southwest to explore the way."
In the secret realm.
Because there is a no-fly ban.
So it can't fly.
The shadow ghost has an incredibly fast escape speed and is good at hiding, making it undoubtedly the best choice for exploring the path.
Qiu Chan responded and cast a spell at the Human Emperor Banner. In an instant, three shadowy ghosts flashed out. After receiving the order, they shook their bodies and instantly disappeared from sight.
This time entering the secret realm.
Fu Changsheng asked Qiu Chan to bring in the three phantom ghosts, in addition to the seven second-level ghost soldiers. The remaining three second-level ghost soldiers and the phantom ghosts that had not yet been sacrificed were left in the Broken Dragon Valley.
Fu Changsheng did not stop along the way.
Head straight to Wangui Lake.
About half an hour later.
The surrounding environment suddenly became gloomy and cold, and the spiritual plants all over the ground also had yin attributes. The faint chanting of female ghosts could be heard intermittently in the forest.
"Master, after passing through this dark leaf forest, you will reach the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
The voice just fell.
Qiu Chan groaned and frowned in pain.
"Qiuchan, what's wrong?"
Fu Changsheng's heart tightened. Ever since he subdued Qiu Chan, he had never seen him behave in such a strange way.
Qiu Chan's face turned pale, and his eyes looked forward in fear:
"Master, there seems to be something in the lake calling me, but I always feel that the call is fatal to me."
That's why the autumn cicada is so frightened.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng said:
"In this case, you should return to the Human Emperor Banner first."
"Yes, Master"
Qiu Chan seemed to be relieved, and with a shake of his body he entered the Human Emperor Banner.
even so.
Fu Changsheng could still feel Qiu Chan and the ghosts in the banner trembling: "Qiu Chan, where are the three ghostly ghosts?"
"Master, I lost control of the three ghostly demons after they passed through the dark leaf forest, and now I can't sense their existence. Perhaps... perhaps they have been destroyed."
Eliminated?
By whom?
It’s Yun Tiannan, is that the monster in Wangui Lake?
Fu Changsheng vaguely remembered that the intelligence mentioned that this Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts was formed from just a tear of a high-level ghost king, and just a tear had such power.
How powerful must this Ghost King be!
Fu Changsheng was also very alert at this moment.
Although the Human Emperor Banner is precious.
But compared with one's own life, it is worthless.
Cast invisibility.
The moment he stepped into the forest, he saw the originally calm forest suddenly rolling with a humming sound, and the miasma from deep underground rushed up into the sky and surged towards him.
Fu Changsheng quickly turned the Green Lotus to its third level.
The third-turn green lotus spun around.
A lotus leaf fell and spread out, protecting Fu Changsheng.
Bang bang bang!
The miasma hit the lotus leaves again and again.
But they were all blocked.
hum! !
however.
More miasma from deep underground transformed into tornadoes and rushed out of the ground. Then it condensed into huge hammers and came towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Fu Changsheng's pupils shrank:
"What is hidden under this ground?!"
He did not dare to stay any longer and quickly cast the spiritual art of [Smoke and Mist Phantom]. His body flashed a few times and disappeared on the spot. Bang, bang, bang, the giant hammer transformed from the miasma followed Fu Changsheng at an extremely fast speed. However, Fu Changsheng's figure was like a ghost, and the giant hammer missed every time and his figure could not be captured at all.
After more than ten breaths.
Fu Changsheng's figure disappeared into the forest.
hum!
The hammer transformed by the miasma disappeared in an instant and sank back into the ground. The entire forest returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened just now.
at the same time.
At the entrance to the woods.
Xu Changyun walked out slowly.
She looked at Fu Changsheng's receding figure, her eyes full of astonishment:
"Isn't the eldest son's natal magic weapon a flute? When did it become a three-turn treasure lotus lantern?"
Moreover, she had never seen the physical skills that the eldest son had just displayed. She was afraid that the level was no longer in the category of magic, but should be spiritual skills:
"The eldest son, the eldest son, has been possessed by another spirit?"
Think about it.
Xu Changyun broke out in a cold sweat.
There were only three cultivators from their Xu family who came in, and it hasn't been long since the eldest son was possessed by another spirit. This Yinluo Secret Realm is too dangerous.
hum!
at this time.
There was a rapid buzzing sound coming from Xu Changyun's body.
The jade talisman on his waist lit up, a spell was cast into it, and Xu Changzhi's voice came out:
"Nineteenth sister, have you seen the eldest master? Where are you now? I'll go over and meet you."
Xu Changyun raised his eyes and glanced at the shaded leaf forest in front of him.
He replied in a mysterious way:
"I was in Yinya Valley, I didn't see the eldest master."
After Fu Changsheng came out of the forest.
What came into view were tombs. Above each tomb there was a blood-red ghost flag fluttering in the wind, with three-eyed crows perched on the flags.
"quack"
The moment Fu Changsheng appeared.
All the Three-Eyed Crows turned their heads at once and looked at Fu Changsheng.
That look.
Like the gaze of death.
The three-eyed crow screamed twice, and then a black light flashed, and it disappeared out of thin air. It was as if the scene just now was an illusion.
"Gudong"
Fu Changsheng was somewhat nervous.
Because there is no lake in front of us at all.
He gritted his teeth.
Fu Changsheng's sword finger quickly passed through his eyes, instantly opening his Mingqing spiritual eyes. When his eyes opened again, a ray of hazy white light lit up.
at this time.
The graves before my eyes trembled slightly.
Then it dissipated like ripples on water.
Followed by.
A pitch-black Wangui Lake came into view.
In the lake.
The sound of singing came out:
"I ride in an oil-painted carriage, and my lover rides a green horse. Where can we find our soulmates? Under the pines and cypresses of Xiling, the grass is as green as a blanket, and the pines are like a canopy. The wind is our skirt, and the water is our ornament. In the oil-painted carriage, we will wait for each other in the evening."
Accompanied by chanting.
Followed by.
A lantern emitting green light slowly rose up.
The lantern seemed to be carried by someone, constantly moving forward, and the direction it was moving in was exactly where Fu Changsheng was standing:
"What the hell is this place?!"
Fu Changsheng's heart trembled.
I can’t care about the Human Emperor Banner at this moment.
I just want to get out of here safely.
however.
At this moment, he found that his body was stiff, and the magic power in his body seemed to be imprisoned and could not be used at all. His right foot was out of control and followed the green lantern step by step into the lake:
"what happened?"
This place is too weird.
Fu Changsheng felt frightened and recited the Heart Purification Mantra quickly, but everything before his eyes was not an illusion. When he reached the lake, a small boat suddenly emerged from the bottom of the lake.
A toothless old woman on the boat smiled and waved to him.
"You must not get on board!!"
Fu Changsheng knew it vaguely.
Once you step into this ship.
I'm just afraid that I really can't turn back.
It was winter, but Fu Changsheng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Although he was frightened, he quickly calmed down since the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret" could not be used.
Then the "Ancient Source Thunder Scripture" is a spiritual technique that can restrain evil things, so it should be effective.
Fu Changsheng’s thoughts urged him on.
hum!
"efficient!!"
Just as the old woman's claws were about to reach him.
Crackling!
Thunder roared.
Instantly, two divine thunders that could ward off evil spirits rumbled down towards the old woman.
Fu Changsheng didn't have time to check on the other party's situation, he turned around and ran. At this moment he was able to use the [Smoke and Mist Phantom] body technique, his body flashed a few times, and he left the lake at an extremely fast speed.
Just when he escaped.
Graves appeared before my eyes.
The tombs are so densely packed that there is no end in sight:
“It’s really a ghost!!”
Fu Changsheng gritted his teeth.
He immediately activated the Purple Qi Divine Light. With a humming sound, the Purple Qi Divine Light turned into a bright light and fell in the air above the tomb.
Rumble!
The entire sky was suddenly illuminated by the purple divine light, as if it were daytime.
The tomb disappeared.
Fu Changsheng was delighted and left the tomb in a flash. Just when he thought he had escaped from this strange place, the singing voice behind him came again:
"I ride in a painted carriage, and my lover rides a green horse. Where can we find our soulmate? Under the pines and cypresses of Xiling."
Followed by.
A flash before his eyes.
He returned to the original Wangui Lake:
"What on earth is going on?!"
him at this time.
He couldn't even move his eyeballs, and the purple divine light and the evil-repelling divine thunder were unable to operate. He could only watch the green lantern floating towards him rapidly.
A small boat far away in the sky.
In a blink of an eye.
The boat floated to his feet:
"Sir, get on board!"
At this moment, the old woman on the boat raised her head. Her originally old face was instantly replaced by delicate features like a fairy. Her slender jade hand reached out to him as fast as lightning.
"Am I going to stay here like this today?"
Not reconciled!
He decided that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death!!
Fu Changsheng's mind was working rapidly, and just when he was about to fight to the death.
hum!
The moment the woman touched him.
A ring that was originally worn on his chest suddenly floated up.
In the ring.
The vague outline of a woman in white seemed to be lighting up.
When the old woman saw the ring, fear flashed in her eyes. She was so scared that she quickly opened her mouth and blew out the green light in the green lantern.
In the blink of an eye.
The green lantern, the small boat and the old woman in front of him disappeared.
What came into view was an ordinary lake, and Fu Changsheng was standing on the shore of the lake:
"This"
Fu Changsheng retreated again and again.
What just happened seemed like a dream.
Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, he had never felt so passive and powerless. If it weren't for the power of the ring his mother left him, he would have had to risk his life. Otherwise, he would have been pulled into the boat by the old woman and fallen into hell forever.
Fu Changsheng didn't bother to check what was going on at this time.
He was still in shock.
He turned around quickly and left this damn place.
After coming out of the shade forest.
Only then did he feel alive again.
Fu Changsheng lowered his head and took out the ring hanging around his neck.
It is said that this ring was given to him by his mother when he was born. In the past sixty years, Fu Changsheng has never seen anything unusual with it.
Moreover, this ring also has no mana fluctuations.
He just wore it on his body as a thought of his mother.
But now it seems.
This ring has a great origin.
Fu Changsheng took a closer look.
I found a tiny crack in the ring:
"What is the origin of this ring?"
"Could there be another hidden story behind the disappearance of my mother and father?!"
Fu Changsheng felt as if there was a thick fog in front of his eyes and he couldn't see the truth at all.
After putting the ring back into the clothes.
Fu Changsheng murmured:
"When I return to my fiefdom this time, I will ask Uncle Yu what this ring is."
Maybe you can find some information about your mother.
one way or another.
This time it was his mother's ring that saved his life.
Simultaneously.
He also understood.
The current version of the system is too low, and it is completely unable to detect the murderous intent condensed by some high-level combat forces. Even if he exchanged the intelligence in advance, it would be unable to provide early warning information.
after all.
This information is still random.
From this point he realized that he had relied too much on the intelligence system before. He thought that since Yun Tiannan was able to seize the Human Emperor Banner, it meant that the risk level inside was within his acceptable range. So after Qiu Chan felt something was wrong, he did not think about it too much, but rushed in directly.
This is a lesson.
learn from mistakes.
Practicing the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret" allowed him to have a longer lifespan than other cultivators of the same level. With the longevity benefit from the Taixuan Ancient Vine, he did not need to risk his life at all. He only needed to steadily improve his cultivation while ensuring safety:
"It's better not to take such risks in the future."
After Fu Changsheng reflected.
A wave of sleeves.
Offer up the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Tower.
The green python flashed out.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Xiaoqing, guard this shady forest."
It's too dangerous in there.
Then he would just sit back and wait.
Since the intelligence mentioned that Yun Tiannan could obtain the Human Emperor Banner from the Wangui Lake, he just had to wait.
This wait lasted for seven days.
Seven days later.
But I saw miasma rolling in the dark leaf forest.
Yun Tiannan slowly walked out of the forest holding the Yin-avoiding beads.
At this time, Yun Tiannan's face was pale, his body was covered in blood, and his left arm and left leg were missing, but his eyes were filled with excitement:
"I've spent all my accumulated wealth, and it finally paid off. I got this Human Emperor Banner. With this banner, I'll have a better chance of achieving the Golden Elixir in the future."
Yun Tiannan glanced around.
He stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth.
This place is quiet and it is a forbidden area within a forbidden area. The children of noble families would avoid it like avoiding snakes and scorpions and would not approach it at all. He plans to stay here to recover from his injuries first.
After the pill fell to the ground.
But I saw the technique working.
Blood began to flow from his left arm, and tissue buds continued to sprout from the severed arm, with a new arm rapidly growing out.
beside him.
A late-stage second-order iron-armed ape was also dying. It was trying to catch fleas on its body, and after catching one, it threw it into its mouth, biting it with a crisp sound.
unconsciously.
When Yun Tiannan’s left arm was almost fully grown.
Suddenly,
His eyes suddenly opened.
A flick of the index finger.
Instantly a talisman was activated, transforming into a green light shield that enveloped him.
at the same time.
Boom! !
Then two thunderbolts that could ward off evil spirits fell from the sky.
The blue light shield was instantly shattered.
However, with this turning point, Yun Tiannan shook his body and narrowly avoided another evil-repelling divine thunder.
Yun Tiannan was furious.
If he had dodged a little slower just now.
Then he would be dead and gone.
As a former Purple Mansion master, he almost lost his life at the hands of this young foundation-building generation. If the news gets out, how can he walk with dignity in the future?
Yun Tiannan sneered in his heart.
He just got the Human Emperor Banner.
It's just right to use this ignorant youngster as a sacrificial vessel!
hum!
at this time.
A beam of blood shot up into the sky from underground.
The blood light transformed into blood arrows that shot towards him. The power of these blood arrows was only equivalent to a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
Yun Tiannan simply disdained it.
He was healing his wounds just now and had no time to take care of himself, so he was ambushed.
He just slapped his storage bag.
hum!
But then he saw a green shield floating in front of him.
Ding ding ding.
The blood arrow shot into the green shield, then fell down powerlessly, unable to break the defense at all.
at this time.
Yun Tiannan's gaze fell on the northwest side.
His eyes narrowed slightly:
"You little beast, die!"
