Although Zheng Wan thought so, she couldn't help but glance at the man in black.
Tall and thin, his clothes were not suitable for the wind, and there were some dusty stains on the corner of the cloak, but he didn't seem to care, and Cui Wang claimed to know something about him.
Po Ling Cui's son has been engraved with the brand of the family since he was born.
I like to wear white clothes, but I love cleanliness. Although I don't pay much attention to dressing up, I will never show people sloppy.
When he went down to Qilin Cave three years ago, his palms were withered and his clothes were ragged, but the first thing he did was change into a clean white robe for himself, and she also changed one by the way.
Such a person, but let the corners of his clothes get dirty, and he doesn't even bother to use the dust removal formula—
Thinking of this, Zheng Wan no longer had any doubts. She calmed down, looked around, and landed on a circular high platform floating in the air.
On the high platform, the four pillars piercing into the sky are connected by iron cables, and the other end of the hanging iron cables is all wrapped around the corpse in the center of the high platform. Six fingers, flesh and blood have disappeared, leaving only a skeleton.
Seeing the skeleton, Zheng Wan knew that shopkeeper Bai had concealed part of the truth.
As she said, this place is indeed safe. There are cloud swallowing beasts nearby. The existence of cloud swallowing beasts ensures that there will be no more strange beasts to devour the corpses.
But shopkeeper Bai never told her that the corpse was entangled with iron chains, and its limbs were spread wide, just like the posture of the mortal car cracking punishment. Under the corpse, a six-pointed star emerged from the dark brown bloodstains. Even though Zheng Wan knew little about the formation, he could still tell that this place was extremely strange.
Goosebumps popped out one by one.
Shu Jin is like a young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, knocking on the corridor pillar with an iron block. When he knocks, the cloud-swallowing beast outside the chain platform will "twitter".
"Hey, it's so fun!" He approached Zheng Wan with a smile on his face, "Beauty, what are you looking at?"
"See how to get this iron chain down."
Zheng Wan wanted to come, but Shopkeeper Bai kept this from her because he was afraid that she would think this place was weird and refused to agree. Now that she has come here, it is impossible for her to return empty-handed.
The second volume of "Mo Xu Jing" is related to the issue of her cultivation skills after she knows the micro-level, and it is imminent.
"It's easy."
As a well-known dude in the Xuancang world, Shu Jin also bears the title of "Master Duobao". He fumbled around in the storage ring, and finally took out a small knife.
"Here, I usually use a piece of barbecue to eat, here you are."
Zheng Wan looked at this small knife, made of ten thousand years of fine steel, a knife is worth hundreds of high-level primordial stones, and it is actually used to eat... a piece of meat.
It's like she used to treat money like dung.
She took it, but heard a voice from the slanting stab:
"Wait a minute."
Zheng Wan looked up, but found the man in black standing aside with his arms folded. He didn't look at the corpse, but looked up at the pattern on the porch pillar, with a calm expression.
"What did you find?"
The head of the man in black did not return:
"If you take this corpse, you will need another human life to fill the battle."
"A real person means..."
"Human sacrifice."
"Human sacrifice?"
Zheng Wan looked at the corpse on the ground and was speechless for a while.
No wonder, no wonder that stubborn shopkeeper Bai also had a day of tears, when she used the technique of backtracking to see her daughter was like an animal, being manipulated into such a state and dying of blood...
When is how heartache.
The acting shopkeeper once said that when he came to Yuzhenlou, shopkeeper Bai was not like this. She was famous and had countless ministers under her skirt, and she led her daughter to open this restaurant.
And many of the guests who came to Yuzhen Tower also came to take a look at Shopkeeper Bai—
Zheng Wan still remembers the embarrassing look on the acting shopkeeper's face at the time, and she didn't mention it in the second half, just shaking her head and sighing: "It's a pity, it's a pity that this is the case in life."
"Jade beauty, here's something."
Shu Jin beckoned, and Zheng Wan went over, only to find a long life lock exposed under the corpse's right hand.
Very common style, every child will wear one when he is born.
There is a dust removal array engraved on the golden lock, which is still as bright as new, but the red string of the lock has faded. The corpse's storage bag and magic weapon were searched clean, except for this ordinary thing left.
Zheng Wan leaned over to pick it up, but saw a line of small characters engraved on the Longevity Lock:
"Gift to my daughter Qingqing, wishing you a long life and no disease or disaster."
She clenched the things in her hands, thinking that in this world, whether in the world of mortals or the world of ascetics, longevity locks look the same.
She has one too.
A row of seal characters as big as millet grains was also engraved on it, "To my daughter Wanwan, may you be safe and happy, free from illness and disaster."
It's just that the Longevity Lock was left in the mortal world when it came. If there is a chance to go back, you should go and get it.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Shu Jin saw her in a daze, and patted her on the shoulder.
Zheng Wan came back to her senses and smiled:
"nothing."
She put the longevity lock into the storage bracelet, and turned to ask the man in black:
"What's the matter with this human sacrifice?"
It is rumored that the Blackwater Secret Realm is a training place specially opened by the ancient immortal sect for low-level disciples. How could there be such an evil sect's magic circle
The man in black withdrew his eyes from the chain, and said lightly:
"Whenever there is a major event in the world, there must be animals sacrificed to the sky in order to hope for a good harvest in the coming year. Animals can be sacrificed, and so can humans."
He touched the ground with his feet, and the person flew lightly onto the porch pillar, and before he could clearly see how he moved, he saw a soft "click, click, click" sound from the originally empty altar, and a white jade staircase descended from the iron chain platform. The other side of it extended outwards, and it just happened to land on another floating platform.
Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor.
Behind the floating platform that suddenly appeared, there was a grand scene of the fairy family filled with immortal energy. Zheng Wan saw countless monks coming, their clothes fluttering, and their walking, sitting and lying were different from others.
"Don't look at it." The man in black stood in front of her with his not-so-broad body, "This is a mirage scene, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Be careful not to lose your mind."
Shu Jin has already cried out "Wow Wow Wow": "Thousands of years ago, cultivating Taoism became popular, and people walked everywhere without thinking, and there are as many magic methods as dogs... It seems that this statement is true, true."
"On Bridge."
The man in black stepped on the white jade bridge first, and the mirage had dissipated in an instant, only the floating platform on the opposite side was still in sight.
"etc-"
Zheng Wan said, "If I take this corpse now, then—"
"The bridge will crumble."
The white jade bridge formed by the Human Sacrifice Formation will naturally disappear.
"Yumei, it's the same if we come back and get them again. Be happy, and I'll give you ten or eight of them later."
Shu Jin comforted her earnestly.
Zheng Wan glared at him: "Who would like such a thing?"
Looking back on the bridge, she only prayed that there would be no further changes in this trip, otherwise, if she couldn't go back the same way, how would she go to get this corpse
The floating platform is not big, with a radius of two feet. It is shaped like a bodhi leaf and has a light blue color. There is indeed a light cluster floating on it.
In the middle of the light cluster, there is an iron piece that looks like a key. Zheng Wan looked at the hexagram on the key and thought, could this be the secret key to enter the Great Sun Immortal Sect in the future
It's a pity that there is only one, so it's hard to tell.
Zheng Wan didn't make a sound, Shu Jin didn't make a sound, and the black-clothed casual cultivator didn't make a sound unless necessary. The three of them fell into a dead silence for a while, and the air on the floating platform seemed to be stuck with sticky glue up.
"Ahem, this key..."
Shu Jin's peach blossom eyes were smiling, "Let's guess the boxing game? Whoever wins will win."
The man in black shook his head:
"Don't guess."
Just as Zheng Wan was about to speak, she felt that Fenglong felt hot in her dantian. Before she could react, the floating platform cracked open and wrapped her inside.
The woman in the yellow shirt was swallowed by the floating platform almost instantly, and the man in black jumped down without even thinking about it. The two figures, one yellow and one black, disappeared on the floating platform within a breath.
Shu Jin wanted to follow with the secret key in his hand, but he still saw the gap.
He was stunned for a while, then burst into a burst of laughter:
"Tch, idiot."
Stepping on the White Jade Bridge again, when passing the corpse, he finally stopped, squatted down and said softly: "Beauty, let me take you as a present, don't worry."
Shu Jin cut off the iron chain slowly, packed the corpse, and walked back on the cloud-swallowing beast.
————
Zheng Wan only felt that she was falling rapidly, and the hurricane slashed her face like a sharp knife, but Feng Long in her dantian was getting hotter and hotter, as if she heard some kind of call from below.
But below, it is obviously a bottomless dark river.
There was a shadow covering her head, she squinted her eyes and looked up as hard as she could, but she couldn't see anything clearly. It was probably an unlucky wild goose. The wild goose spread its wings and covered her light.
Zheng Wan reluctantly mobilized a little energy, covered her head and face and the most important dantian, and held the temporarily summoned Jinbuyao in the storage bracelet with one hand, trying to insert the sharp side of the Jinbuyao into the cliff on one side.
Failed.
The cliff wall was covered with moss, and it was slippery by itself. Jin Buyao rubbed against the cliff wall and made a sharp cry that almost scratched the eardrums. Zheng Wan's palm hit the cliff wall and wiped off a large piece of skin.
The hurricane came and pushed her hard onto the cold, hard rock.
The sharp protrusions of the rock directly brushed against her elbows and waist, Zheng Wan let out a cry of pain, her whole body stiffened, and half of her face was completely unconscious—
At this moment, she was embraced by someone.
Zheng Wan raised her head subconsciously, in a daze, she could only see a thin chin, bone-like skin, and even her embrace was cold and hard, she opened her mouth:
"Anonymous real person?"
The voice was wrapped in the omnipresent hurricane, so weak that no one could hear it.
The man in black wrapped her tightly in a cloak, and said "huh":
"Accidentally fell off."
"… oh."
The two were still falling, Zheng Wan was afraid of being left behind by him, subconsciously put her good hand around his waist, but found that the waist was thin and thin, two palms could be held together.
Zheng Wan lowered her eyelids. At this moment, a huge wave of air rushed in. Even though she was using the ice shield, she was still knocked unconscious.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a big rock.
There was dense thatch under her body, and the dark river slapped on the stone. She wanted to get up, but found that half of her body could not move, and it would involve dense wounds. The skirt seemed to be pressed by a heavy object. She turned her head subconsciously, but Against a skinny face.
The man in black lay down beside the stone, his eyes slightly closed, and his whole body was set off by the dusty stone, making him appear even blacker and yellower.
"A real person?"
She probed under his nose with her good hand, but she was caught.
Those shriveled eyes opened, and the water from the dark river fell into his eyes, like sparkling water waves, swaying and swaying again and again.
Zheng Wan curled the corners of her mouth and smiled:
"It's fine for a real person to have nothing to do."
This place is weird, this person's strength is unknown, so don't provoke him.
The light in the water wave dimmed.
The man in black let out a "huh":
"If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh."
The hoarse voice directly pierced the damp and cold air, Zheng Wan stopped talking in embarrassment, thinking to herself, this person is really... deserves to be ugly.
