Chapter 288 There is fruit to eat again
The group walked in silence all the way, and finally, after passing through a dense forest, they saw a path and heard the sound of a stream.
Senior Sister Jia said, "There is a candle light in the distance. I think that is where Cangjian Villa is."
After she finished speaking, Mei Xiangu took the lead and crossed the path, and soon saw the stream and the bamboo bridge over the stream.
On the north side of the bamboo bridge, there stood a stone tablet with two characters engraved on it: "Cangjian Villa".
There is no doubt that everyone has finally arrived at Cangjian Villa.
"No entry, no exit!"
When Mei Xiangu was walking up the bamboo bridge, Tian Lin came to the back of the stone tablet.
When everyone heard Tian Lin's words, they all looked back at Tian Lin on the bamboo bridge.
Sure enough, under the dark night, there was a line of words written in blood on the back of the stone tablet.
Such blood words cannot withstand wind, frost and rain, but seeing that there are no signs of rain or wind on these blood words, we know that they were written not long ago.
When everyone thought about what Old Man Pei said, it was not difficult to guess that something really happened at Cangjian Villa.
"What happened at Cangjian Villa? Is it related to our mission?"
After Senior Sister Jia finished speaking, she asked Ju Yunhai, "Senior Brother Ju, should we wade into this muddy water?"
Ju Yunhai was hesitant for a moment. After all, they had no friendship with Cangjian Villa, and Cangjian Villa was not their affiliated sect.
"I don't even know what happened yet. Are you going to make me go here for nothing just based on these five words?"
Mei Xiangu, who had been suppressed by the Star Picking Art all the way, finally spoke again at this time: "You, the disciples of the Daoist Sect, are too timid to act."
After hearing what she said, Ju Yunhai finally spoke:
"If it were me, I would be very interested in going to Cangjian Villa to check out the situation. But now I am traveling with my fellow junior brothers and sisters, and I don't want to take risks with their safety."
Tian Lin said: "In this case, let's just follow our personal wishes."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he stood on the bamboo bridge, obviously intending to visit Cangjian Villa.
When everyone looked at Senior Sister Jia again, she smiled and said, "How can there be no danger when doing a mission? I also want to see who is so arrogant and why they allow people to enter but not leave!"
The six of them crossed the bamboo bridge and soon passed through a bamboo forest.
Deep in the bamboo forest, an archway appeared.
Of course, the words "Cangjian Villa" were written on the archway, but what attracted everyone's attention was not the four words "Cangjian Villa", but the several corpses hanging on the Cangjian Villa.
The bodies included both men and women, and they looked like they had been dead for some time. Judging from the degree of their rot, it could be inferred that they had died at different times.
Among these corpses, one turned into a mummy.
The mummy was hanging on the archway, jumping in the air.
It was a pity that the mummy was so stupid that it didn't know that the noose around its neck restricted its movements. So no matter how it "jumped" in the air, it couldn't jump off the archway.
At this moment, Ju Yunhai raised his hand and pointed.
A nodule rope suddenly broke, and the female corpse hanging on it fell to the ground instantly.
The archway was more than two meters high, and the female corpse had been decaying for so long that her intestines fell to the ground in an instant after she fell.
Several people came forward with frowns on their brows. Ju Yunhai glanced at the female corpse lying on her back and pointed at her chest and said:
"She wasn't hanged, but it looks like some monster scratched her belly. If an ordinary beast hurts someone, it will probably eat the bones and flesh. But her intestines are still there, which shows that the monster didn't kill her for food. Besides, if it wasn't a monster in human form, how could it have tied a person to the archway? This shows that this monster hurt people because someone was behind it."
Mei Xiangu couldn't help curling her lips and sarcastically said to Ju Yunhai: "Why don't you just say that it was the Beast Taming Sect who killed him? Why are you so secretive? I don't know what you are afraid of."
Ju Yunhai said, "The matter is still unclear. Even if we have a guess, how can we make a rash conclusion? But the rope around the neck of the female corpse does look like the whip commonly used by animal tamers."
After examining the female corpse, Ju Yunhai injected a stream of true energy into the body.
There was a "puff" sound, and the true energy instantly burned the female corpse. The maggots on it also gave off a meaty aroma in the fire.
Fairy Mei turned her head away to avoid the smell of meat, and looked at the people walking towards her in the distance.
The sound of dogs barking was heard, and an old man was seen holding the reins of a giant three-eyed dog the size of a draft horse.
Behind this old man, there were four men and women who were also carrying monsters.
These people's cultivation levels seemed to be in the middle or even late foundation building stage, but on their exposed skin, they did not have any tattoos done by the Beastmaster Sect's disciples.
"You have been sneaking around here, lying in ambush and watching for a long time, and now you finally dare to show up?"
The old man in the lead calmed down the three-eyed giant dog that was about to pounce on Mei Xiangu. He bowed to Mei Xiangu on top of the three-eyed giant dog:
"Excuse me, fellow Taoists. We are following Elder Fu's instructions to besiege Cangjian Villa. We are not here to target you fellow Taoists."
At this point, the old man paused and asked Mei Xiangu and the others, "Fellow Daoists, what is your relationship with Cangjian Villa? What is the purpose of your visit to Cangjian Villa?"
Given Mei Xiangu's personality, she is the only one who asks others questions, and no one else asks her questions.
Therefore, she ignored the old man's question and asked him instead, "There are so many elders with the surname Fu in the Beast Taming Sect. Who is the Elder Fu you are talking about?"
Seeing her bossy, the old man suppressed his anger and replied:
"Of course it's Elder Fu Tianchou. Fellow Taoists! I don't care where you are from. Since Elder Fu has given the order, you can only enter the Hidden Sword Villa but not leave. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Is Fu Tianchou the one who can't get a tiger cub without risking it?"
Tian Lin thought of the burly man who had quarreled with Mei Xiangu when he was in Shuiyun Sect.
What impressed him most about the strong man was not his early Jindan realm, but the fact that he dared to sleep with the tiger.
"So it's him?"
Mei Xiangu did not answer Tian Lin. She sneered at the old man with disdain and continued, "This pervert must have set his eyes on the female beast in Cangjian Villa.
You just said don't say I didn't warn you, so I'll tell you. Get out of the way quickly, if anyone dares to block my way I will never let him live, don't say I didn't warn you."
The old man flew into a rage, and just as he was about to speak, a plum blossom pierced right through his forehead.
Before the people behind her could react, Mei Xiangu's several plum blossoms had killed all the remaining foundation-building monks.
The three-eyed giant dog finally pounced on Mei Xiangu, but Mei Xiangu was no longer the same as before. She had the Dao Seed in her body and could break through the Golden Core Realm at any time.
Now, in her eyes, there is actually no difference between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators, let alone a few monster beasts?
She waved her sleeves, and a small tree appeared in her sleeves.
The plum tree directly killed several monsters. Fairy Mei swept the plum tree again, and the souls of those foundation-building monks were all absorbed by the plum tree. In an instant, petals bloomed and fruits were produced.
Looking at the fruits, Mei Xiangu smiled and said, "I have endured all this time, and finally met some blind people. Now it's good, there are fruits to eat again."
