"And let's go," said Wu Jinluan suddenly. "Nothing will happen anyway."
I was slightly taken aback.
Indeed, we have indeed taken that path which was calculated for us. The Taoist priests who came with us think it's a haunted wall, while we believe that we have angered the owner of this place and it's time to leave.
The other party did not let us go, sealing off the way out.
The omnipresent corrosive liquid directly consumed Chen Zhen's flesh and blood, rendering us unable to move.
Even later, we still had to make a judgment that the other party deliberately let us enter the hideout of evil necromancers, intending for it to become our final resting place.
Indeed, this is exactly what happened, and the situation turned into an effort to catch a turtle in a clay pot.
Our near-death experience was due to the ancestral master possessing us.
This was the same variable the person encountered alone!
He was a disciple of Taoist Dao Hong.
He is the successor of this place.
In normal circumstances, he would definitely be worth taking seriously.
In such a non-normal situation, it was beyond his expectations. So there was no threat encountered during our exit process. Even the cave mouth was open, which implied that they were eager for us to leave.
Actually, during the process of coming out, Liu Taixuan woke up. His body was relatively strong; with so many injuries, they were indeed only superficial. The only problem was his back, which was not functioning well and needed someone to support him. Moreover, there were two white immortals who had been lying there healing their wounds.
"Master Lu, you can go out first and wait for us. We will come out in a while." Zhang Zhiyi opened his mouth.
"Don't touch anything here. We've taken quite a bit of pills, and this place has been turned upside down. We are already the thorns in someone's flesh and eyes." I said quietly.
Zhang Zhiyi was silent for a moment before saying, "There is a distinction between good and evil. In other words, we are doing evil, isn't that itself something wrong?"
I furrowed my brow and didn't respond.
Just as the ancestor had said earlier, if you are good, are you black or white?
His assessment of the Taoist Dai Hong was that the Taoist had not yet reached the time to go out.
Perhaps, he was good before he died, but after death, he became evil.
Perhaps, there is no such thing as goodness.
With so many bodies stored underground and so many bodies being processed by him, the result was almost no elixirs left behind, all of which had been consumed.
He didn't care about what he became as a corpse; he wanted to keep living forever.
He, wants to emerge from the Yin spirit!
Becoming an evil corpse is his very nature!
On the day he emerged, it would be a day of mourning on this Long mountain.
What's even more terrifying is that he has disciples who have been passed down. With one disciple who emerged from the Yin spirit in charge, his school will spread rapidly, a hundred times more terrifying than Tian Shou Dao Observation.
While I was lost in thought, Zhang Zhiyi and the others went up to the second floor to gather books.
The gentlemen looked at each other in disbelief, and there was a faint longing in their eyes. However, under the suppression of Wu Jinluan's gaze, no one else dared to move.
"First, let's get out." Wu Jinluan said in a deep voice.
The group then started to walk out.
As we left the wooden door attached to the cave mouth, a package was found on the ground.
We all noticed it, He Lin'an reached out to open it, and the top of it was a skull.
Chen Zhen's skull.
"This person, indeed, wants us to leave." Wu Jinluan sighed slightly.
"This journey, except for the one who was destined to die, there are no greater injuries……" Wu Jinluan's tone was complicated and had a hint of depression.
"However, we have gained a lot; it seems that it is fate, the harvest from the path to immortality is significant indeed." Soon, Wu Jinluan's depression turned into profundity.
Being able to grasp and let go is one of Master's most distinctive personality traits.
I sit cross-legged on the ground, meditating and regulating my breath.
My spirit is too full; the injuries on my body cannot be recovered through meditation. I open my eyes and see that the Taoist priests who came with horses have not come out yet.
"They are really going to take everything they can." Wu Jinluan shook his head.
"He seems to have gone back into the inner room. Not only has he taken the books from the second floor……" He Lin'an added a sentence.
I fell silent for a moment and shook my head, saying, "People can only take care of themselves; we can't interfere with others."
"That's true." Wu Jinluan sighed.
I took out three pills from my chest.
These are not the pills for evil corpses; they were the elixirs that Taoist Dai Hong had intended to offer to the ancestral master.
He was quick to react; when he couldn't beat them, he joined them.
Even willing to be a slave.
He simply overlooked a crucial point. Those who emerge with the Yang spirit can extinguish the Three Corpses, and the female immortal, Elder Shang Shan Ruo Shui, is as benevolent as water. How could the other immortals, whose realm would not be weaker than his, possibly be bound by so-called possession?
Thinking about it again, the end of possession is not different from dying and being born anew.
"The Heart Flesh of the Emperor Corpse? Is it……the existence in the ancient Qiang City Xuan Ming Mountains?"
I pushed away my thoughts and looked at the black pill in its entirety. Its suction seemed even stronger, making it particularly uncomfortable and unnatural for me.
"Probably." Wu Jinluan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes showing apprehension. "According to common sense, the Emperor Corpse is stronger than the person himself. However, living and dead cannot be compared; this Taoist Dai Hong should have obtained the Heart Flesh of the Emperor during his lifetime."
"Ancient and modern records show that many Taoists have practiced for emperors, so there should be some hidden meaning here." Wu Jinluan's explanation carried deep connotations.
I did not delve into the roots of things; these are all speculations, and no one can determine the actual situation.
"The elixirs made from the transformation of flying creatures and good corpses can restore vitality, while the elixirs made from the hundred-corpse font can lock the soul and prevent it from leaving……"
"I lock souls……" I mumbled to myself.
Wu Jinluan and the others remained silent, their eyes carrying a trace of suspicion.
At first, we were lost in our own confusion.
At this moment, everything has calmed down, and we can analyze the gains and losses.
"But the elixir is only one, which can only save one person…… Moreover, the corpses refined from the bodies…… don't know if there are any after-effects."
To be honest, the side effects of the eight dwellings have cast a serious shadow over people.
"The techniques should be much better, but the method is evil and immoral. The only problem is that there is a poisonous potion in the elixir. The elixirs made from the flesh of good corpses should be able to cleanse the poison from the hundred corpse elixirs, as long as they are taken together." Wu Jinluan came to a conclusion.
"Use it to save our own people," he continued.
I was once again silent, not answering Wu Jinluan's words.
Analysis is always analysis, and without tasting it, how can we know if it really doesn't have any poison?
Our own people.
That would be the Golden Wheel Elder and several martial monks.
Huā Qí.
Then there were the disciples of Yun Jin Mountain.
After saving one person, we still need to find the eight dwellings.
Because the methods for making these two kinds of elixirs are too difficult, even if we find that short man, it's not certain that he can reproduce them.
I remained silent, and Wu Jinluan didn't speak either.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, the Taoist priests who had entered the mountain came out.
Liu Taixuan had recovered more, and he could walk.
Except for him, everyone was carrying large bags and packages.
My gaze fell on Zhang Zhiyi and said, "Zhang Xiao Master, I have something to discuss with you."
"The Iron Bashan Mountain exerted a lot of effort, and I can't let you have only this much harvest. This is not fair."
The moment my words fell, Zhang Zhiyi's face showed a look of surprise.
Liu Taixuan was slightly stunned, but he didn't react immediately.
The others were even more full of determination and joy, which couldn't be suppressed.
"I knew it, Master Luo is someone with a sense of the big picture! Haha!" Zhang Zhiyi couldn't contain himself and laughed out loud.
