In sight, behind the White Wolf Cave, there are numerous small holes, resembling a beehive, but not as dense. Most of the small holes are empty. However, about a quarter of the cave is occupied by some immortals, who lie prostrate, curled up, or standing. They seem like specimens, vivid and lifelike.
The person with three needs is a person, not these immortals. His gaze was fixed on a cave opposite the back of the god statue with wolf head and human body.
A man sat quietly in the cave.
No, he wasn't sitting! He was standing! From the waist up, only half of his body remained, and there was nothing below his lower body.
He didn't show any movement and his eyes were still closed.
And above his head, there was an indistinct, persistent purple mist swirling.
"They've been dismembered, but they haven't woken up yet. If they don't dismember themselves, they can't survive here." Ma Sanzui squinted and smiled slightly, nodding his head: "Dismembered ones are considered corpses rather than people. They are not involved in business transactions. Taking them is reasonable and fair."
I've thoroughly understood. This person is the one who secretly controlled those immortal corpses years ago. Han Jing has not fully grasped the ins and outs of this place yet.
And this person should be the one with power comparable to the two black old ladies?
The one mentioned by Iron Mountain as the real white-eyed wolf?
Ma Sanzui took a slow step forward, holding a gongbell in his hand, appearing extraordinarily cautious.
I was even more cautious, following him stealthily and silently.
Lao Gong, he probably woke up the two outside.
I can't say he did a good deed in a bad way. My intuition tells me that when we clean the cadaverous insects, they will also awaken.
The one inside is hidden deeper, so he hasn't woken up yet.
Also, our analysis of Han Jing may be somewhat superficial.
He took the cadaverous insects into his body. We all unconsciously agreed with our earlier judgment that he was pretending that he was dying. He was waiting to take the Tian Gong Spring after the trouble was solved to clean up all the cadaverous insects.
Ma Sanzui, that's what he uses to resist the surface dangers.
He doesn't know that there are mysteries deeper within the cave.
But does he really not know?
Or perhaps to say, he didn't know back then, but after returning with Bai Fu Zhong, he knew everything.
Just that he also left a trick for Ma Sanzui.
This real great danger will appear only when he comes to deal with it.
With the change from Iron Mountain added, can Ma Sanzui now face that "White-Eyed Wolf," Han Jin, and is he still just observing the situation passively?
I sighed inwardly, people grow wiser as they get older. Even if they are not Taoist Immortals, their minds are full of schemes.
However, it's not strange at all. Has Han Xiazi ever calculated Ma Sanzui? Dependent on Ma Sanzui, he has used heavenly thunder indiscriminately, and Ma Sanzui must have paid a great price.
The current situation is this: Liu Taixuan is dealing with two spirit mediums, and Ma Sanzui and I are facing the "White-Eyed Wolf" Taoist, who is still unconscious in the state of dismemberment.
Han Jing has become a countermeasure!
I believe that when the "White-Eyed Wolf" Taoist wakes up, Han Jing will unhesitantly take the Tian Gong Spring!
Back then, when we went deep into the wolf's lair at Sigu Mountain, there were no more opportunities for adaptation.
Today, the accounts of past grudges must be settled!
Before long, Ma Sanzui and I walked to the front of the half dismembered corpse.
As we got closer, we could see the faint purple mist surrounding his forehead, roughly in the middle of his face, between his eyebrows, and spreading to his temples.
And slightly above his forehead, at the location of his fontanelle, there was another kind of aura that emits a faint glow, covering his limbs and bones.
Even a Taoist would know that the fontanelle is where the soul is hidden. In the dismemberment technique, Taiyi protects the corpse, three souls camp bones, seven souls guard flesh, fetal spirit records qi, which is known as "refining shape in the shadow."
The soul and spirit scatter over the bones and flesh, preserving the last thread of life.
There is still a faint stream of energy in his lower abdomen, which is where the Dantian is located.
He has well interpreted those words.
Ma Sanzui is nodding, and his satisfaction in his eyes is increasing more and more, becoming increasingly profound.
He suddenly pulled out a nail with his other hand.
The nail was entirely black, and just looking at it made one feel as if they were falling into a abyss, unable to pull back their gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Sanzui raised his hand, as if about to stab the nail into the "half-body Taoist" in his lower abdomen!
He is going to disrupt the "recording of life and breath"!
As for whether this will damage the dismembered corpse, I'm not sure, but Ma Sanzui must have his plans.
At this critical moment, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
Ma Sanzui's hand suddenly stopped.
I saw with my peripheral vision that he had a pair of claws on his shoulder...
The dim hair was very dry, sparse, and the sharp claws were as long as the little finger, fortunately not as sharp at the tip; otherwise, they would have pierced Ma Sanzui's flesh long ago.
That was a thin wolf, which appeared without warning. Neither I nor Ma Sanzui reacted in time, and the thin wolf was already on Ma Sanzui's body, as if it would bite his neck at any moment!
My heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
It was because we two were too absorbed in the appearance and forgot a crucial point!
There are people, there must be immortals!
The immortal associated with the half-body Taoist is the real "White-Eyed Wolf"!
The crinkled fur was very dry, many knots were intertwined together. His pair of wolf eyes were really a bit white, with a faint purple color. The wolf's tail drooped quietly, immobile...
This seemed to form a deadlock!
Ma Sanzui did not move or look back.
The "White-Eyed Wolf," on the other hand, did not move or tighten his neck!
Suddenly, a sharp gongbell sound resounded, as if it had exploded deep in the mind.
For a moment, I felt a complete emptiness.
My consciousness turned black, and in front of me, everything became black. It felt like my soul was about to shatter!
The sharp howling made the cave seem to vibrate.
He was angry and in pain, as if he had been wounded in a vital spot!
In the next instant, when my vision and consciousness returned to clarity, Ma Sanzui was still standing quietly in place, the only movement he made was lifting his other hand and shaking the gongbell!
The "White-Eyed Wolf" had not attached to his shoulders. It retreated about ten steps and stared at us fiercely!
"Beast, you'll always be a beast, not a human."
Ma Sanzui smiled slightly and said with light indifference: "The cadaver Ma wants is still an unclaimed item. No one can obstruct the path. More less a beast?"
"You still haven't left. Be careful, I might use you as a robe if I get bored."
As soon as the words fell, Ma Sanzui's black nail directly penetrated the small abdomen of the half-body Taoist!
When the nail penetrated the flesh, the flowing energy feeling, of course, no longer existed!
The faint glow covering the limbs and bones, the soul that protected the bones and flesh, instantly returned to the fontanelle.
The purple aura on his forehead spread suddenly to his entire body.
A pair of eyes, suddenly opened!
The eyes were clearly human, but the iris was the same white, not the grayish white of a blind person, just a special trait of his own!
"You..." The half-body Taoist only uttered a single word.
Ma Sanzui's hand swung the gongbell again!
My fastest reaction was to cover my own ears!
The actual sound was weaker, but the traumatic impact on consciousness had not decreased.
The half-body Taoist's eyes closed again.
"Since you're asleep, just keep sleeping. Don't wake up now and cause more trouble."
"Comfort is for the dead. You must remain comfortable forever." Ma Sanzui licked his lips. The excitement in his eyes had reached its peak.
Of course, Ma Sanzui was excited yet calm, and he did not lose his composure.
The half-body Taoist is unconscious and cannot wake up.
The moment he opened his eyes, the iron nail was hindered and could not penetrate further.
When he was forced to close his eyes again, the iron nail completely sealed his lower abdomen!
Normal Taoists whose Dantian is controlled almost become invalid. For those who rely on the Dantian to complete the recording of life and breath to perform dismemberment, it is even more bearable for the Dantian to be damaged.
Suddenly turning his head, Ma Sanzui focused his attention on the "White-Eyed Wolf."
I only noticed then that the "White-Eyed Wolf" had disappeared...
The original place is empty and you can't see even a shadow of a half-dead person.
"Haha, it runs fast. I also think its fur is not good enough for the robe. It's ugly." Ma Sanzui patted the dust off his shoulders with the empty hand on both sides.
"Let's drag him out," Ma Sanzui told me.
Taking a deep breath, I reached up and grabbed the shoulder of the half-body Taoist, pulling him forcefully outward.
He was too thin and light, so it was easy to pull him out of the cave. However, there were many other things beneath him.
Several long, slender white bone flutes, which were indeed similar to the desiccated corpses at the Black City Temple, but it could be seen that they were not of the same type of magical weapon.
There was also a set of wind chimes made of bone, as well as several other items I couldn't name.
Ma Sanzui nodded slightly before saying: "These out-married Taoists are really a mixed bag of knowledge, and he should have been using these magical weapons to activate the immortal corpse. Hehe, only he is too confident in his subordinates and too confident in himself."
"It's even more inappropriate to trust beasts."
I understand Ma Sanzui's meaning. If this half-body Taoist was awake, we would be in trouble, or it would be difficult to deal with him.
He didn't wake up right away, which gave Ma Sanzui a chance to act?
I don't know where Ma Sanzui got a clean white cloth, which he spread out on the ground, packed all the magical items inside, then tied it up and hung it at his waist.
"Do you have an interest? These corpses, the people of the ghost niche should be able to use them. They're not simple. Take a look at that white-haired fox, is there anything strange about it?" Ma Sanzui hinted to me.
Following his indication, I indeed saw a fox corpse with two tails. It looked bizarre.
"These things, when they were alive, must have been the ancestors of the internal five elements immortals. This fellow left Iron Sutra Mountain and brought them along. No wonder there are internal five elements immortals and out-married Taoists following him, they want to gain benefits from them." Ma Sanzui mused in analysis.
"Alright, they should be from Iron Sutra Mountain. There's no need to add trouble." I shook my head and declined.
Ma Sanzui nodded and gestured for me to carry the body.
As the two of them passed by the statue of a wolf-headed man, they saw that the battle outside the cave was fierce.
Liu Tai Xuan's veins were bulging, and he was exerting his full might to block the two out-married Taoist priests from entering the cave. The two thin wolves were also putting in their best effort. They barely maintained a draw.
Han Jin, to his surprise, was no longer sitting in place.
"Han Deputy Guan really had a big stool. I really thought you would sacrifice yourself for the cause." Ma Sanzui looked at a certain direction in the dark, smiling with his eyes closed.
