A male cultivator in the crowd said in a sarcastic tone, "Your husband is now pinned on the bridge. You won't be able to see him even if you wait here until dark." A woman also said with great disdain, "Why are you doing this now? You are so hypocritical."
Pei Jing gave them a cold look, and they both fell silent instantly.
He tilted his head to Hua Run and said, "Something seems to have happened to my Qiao Qiao. I want to go save him."
How could Hua Run let someone who had entered the palace leave again? He thought to himself that this woman was really troublesome. If it was someone else, he would have poisoned them to death by now, so how could they be so presumptuous? But now everyone in the Soul Chasing Palace was in danger, and he did not dare to take risks, so he stepped forward and said, "Don't bother the young lady, I'll go and bring him over."
Pei Jing glanced at him, then stepped back and nodded: "Thank you."
Qiao Mucai was pinned on the bridge, shouting until his voice was hoarse, but he seemed to be the only one left in the world, and no one paid any attention to him. The spoiled young master had never suffered such an injustice, his eyes turned red, and he simply stopped struggling, hanging his body on the bridge, crying loudly. While crying, he cursed: "Zhang Yiming, you unfaithful man, you ran away with a wild man and abandoned me. You bought me with one thousand taels of top-grade spirit stones, but you don't cherish me, are you still a human being! One thousand taels! Bastard!" He was crying and snotting, and cursed the white-haired adulterer in his heart.
Hua Run found something wrong as soon as he walked onto the bridge.
The bridge seemed to be asleep. He reached out and touched the railing. Upon closer inspection, he found that the green liquid that usually flowed slowly was condensed in the air.
Hua Run frowned and murmured, "So, this is why everyone passed?"
Without the confusing illusion, this is just an ordinary bridge.
He was confused and prepared to report the matter and the identity of the woman to the elders. He suppressed other thoughts and took another look at Qiao Mucai who left him on the bridge crying and shouting, with deep contempt in his eyes: a coward who lives off his wife.
When Qiao Mucai appeared in front of everyone, his eyes were still red like a rabbit, and he walked over sobbing while wiping his nose with his sleeve. He looked like a young wife who had suffered a great injustice, which shocked everyone. It was hard to imagine that a man could be so cowardly.
Pei Jing was amused by him, pretending to be distressed and walked forward, and asked worriedly: "Qiao Qiao, are you okay? Why are you crying?"
Qiao Mucai broke free from his hand and turned his head away: "Humph!!!"
Pei Jing smiled: "Is Qiao Qiao hurt? Is he angry with me?" But he pulled him over without hesitation, raised a finger and glanced at him coldly.
one.
One thousand taels.
Qiao Mucai shrank his neck, feeling a little scared and a little reluctant. He looked at him resentfully, then lowered his head and muttered, "No."
Pei Jing nodded.
Everyone: "..." They felt a little nauseous. They felt uncomfortable when they thought that this perfect match would continue to irritate their eyes.
When everyone was gathered, the guide took them to where they should go. At the foot of the Soul-Chasing Mountain, at the entrance to a forest, there stood a palace.
Entering the palace, a white-haired woman slowly walked out from the depths of the palace. One of the woman's eyes was empty, and the other was smoky gray. When she looked at people, her gaze was as cold as a poisonous snake biting across the skin.
Hua Run bowed and said respectfully, "Bone Lady, this is the new batch of people today."
The woman exhaled slowly, her throat seemed to be torn, and her voice was hoarse: "Why so much?"
Hua Run choked and said vaguely: "Something happened in Qingqiao."
The woman looked at the group of people with a cold gaze, as if she was looking at a dead person, and said, "Forget it, it will be more lively if there are more people."
She took a step forward, her dress swaying, revealing her hands and feet, white, dry bones without skin.
Except for her face, everything about her was made of bones.
The bone lady said, "You two should split into two lines. Those who want to enter the inner city should stand on the right, and those who just want to enter my Soul Chasing Palace should stand on the left."
Pei Jing was stunned.
Enter the inner city? What is this
He had no such plan, so he didn't move and just waited and saw what would happen.
I saw five people in the crowd who consciously stood to the right. None of them said a word from beginning to end.
One of them was the Blood Spider Mother. She had a ferocious face and a cold expression, but there were poisonous snakes around her waist, centipedes moving in her hair, and she was full of viciousness and cruelty. The other four were almost the same as her, with an inexplicable evil aura.
The bone lady passed by them one by one, with a look of disdain on her face: "You should be thankful that something happened to Qingqiao today. Otherwise, how could you possibly pass the test."
The five people remained silent, unmoved at all.
The Bone Lady waved her hand, and a half-human, half-snake monster slowly crawled out from the palace.
The bone lady said, "Take them to the God Refining Building."
The monster spat its tongue at the five people, then crawled on the ground and crawled out of the palace. The Blood Spider Mother was the first to follow, and the four people behind her walked forward without saying a word.
Everyone watched them leave in confusion.
The bone lady said slowly: "The rest of you have all come to join my Soul Chasing Palace. Let me tell you a few things first."
"I don't care what your identities are outside. Once you come here, you must abide by the rules of my palace. Tianyan City is known as the City of Evildoers, so my Soul-Chasing Palace will naturally not ask about your past. In my eyes, there is no difference between good and evil people. To abide by the rules, the first thing you have to do is eat the Gu in my hand."
She stretched out her hand, and a dense mass of green bugs crawled out from her sleeves, crawling onto her wrist bones and onto her palms. The green bugs were transparent, intertwined with each other, and their tentacles seemed to be constantly secreting white mucus. It was very disgusting at first glance.
Qiao Mucai couldn't help but take a step back.
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
Everyone remained silent and no one dared to be the first to speak out.
The bone lady had received so many people, she was used to it, and said calmly: "Enter the Soul Chasing Palace. Either you eat it, or it eats you."
Her words caused many people's faces to freeze.
Qiao Muchai was about to cry. He really paid too much for this thousand taels.
Pei Jing laughed out loud. Hearing this, Gu Po's face darkened instantly, and she looked over fiercely with one eye.
Pei Jing walked forward, his fingers as white as jade, picked up a worm from the bone lady's hand, and said, "It's just eating a worm, it's not a big deal, you almost scared my Qiao Qiao to tears - don't panic, everyone, I'll taste it for you." After that, he threw it into his mouth.
Everyone perked up and stared at her mouth. When they saw her teeth closing her mouth, they could even imagine the creepy chewing sound in their minds.
Cyan liquid flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Pei Jing wiped his mouth with his sleeve. After swallowing it, he turned back and looked at Qiao Mucai very gently: "Qiao Qiao, don't be afraid, it's sweet."
The bone lady looked at her like a madman. Qiao Muchai was about to be driven crazy by him. Now when he heard the word Qiao Qiao, his whole body ached!
One person took the first step, and the rest hesitated for a while, then began to step forward one after another and take the worms from the Bone Lady's hand.
Everyone ate the bugs in front of the bone lady.
The bone lady slowly withdrew her hand and said, "Come with me."
This time, she led the people away personally.
Hua Run was standing nearby, frowning. After thinking for a while, she followed him and whispered, "Bone Lady, it seems that the woman in the snow-covered clothes followed the master in the palace." A hint of coldness appeared in the gray eyes of the bone lady: "How do you know that she is not making it up? Without the order from the palace, everything should be done according to the rules." Hua Run said shyly, "Yes."
After saying this, the Bone Lady still tilted her head and stared at Pei Jing.
Pei Jingze raised his head and gave her a particularly bright smile.
The bone lady had a gloomy look on her face. She turned around and walked into the deep forest.
Qiao Mucai was still pinching his neck, feeling the dead body of the insect stuck in his throat, unable to move up or down, and it was extremely uncomfortable. He tried to retch, tried to swallow, and even tried to use his hands to dig it out, but it was useless. Seeing how miserable he was, Pei Jing said, "Just eat it, it won't kill you." Qiao Mucai said bitterly, "This is not sweet at all, it tastes terrible, it makes me sick." Pei Jing said, "Do you think you are here to enjoy yourself?"
Qiao Mucai: "What on earth does she want us to do?"
Pei Jing looked at the old woman in front of him solemnly and said, "We'll know next."
The bone lady led them out of the forest, and the dark and secluded path suddenly became clear.
In front of me was a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was azure blue, with lotus leaves lining the lake. A few lotus flowers were emerging from the water, white and tender, with a faint fragrance. Now it was night, and the moonlight was shining on the lotus pond, like a light dream. In the middle of the pond, a huge pillar supported a palace. The eaves of the palace flew into the night sky, and the dim lights and fire made it look ghostly.
The bone lady said, "Go up."
Everyone wanted to ride the wind and fly up into the air, but when they started to try their luck, they suddenly realized something was wrong!
The Dantian can’t draw any spiritual energy at all.
This realization made everyone pale.
They used their spiritual sense to look inside their dantian, and were shocked by the horrifying scene they saw inside their dantian - they saw that the insect they had bitten and swallowed was not dead at all, and its body had revived and reorganized inside their dantian. Now it was coiled in their dantian, sucking their spiritual power bit by bit.
"What does this mean!" A monk couldn't help but stepped forward and asked angrily.
But the bone lady said calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry? I've already told you that this is the first rule."
She waved her sleeves, and instantly the green lotus leaves on the pond moved, the branches began to rise, and then formed a staircase leading to the sky attic.
"Come on."
The monks gritted their teeth and held their hands. At this point, they had no choice.
But there were also people in the crowd who rolled their eyes, smiled smugly, and lowered their heads quietly.
Qiao Mucai climbed up the stairs with his neck pinched, and he was so nervous when he stepped on the lotus leaf that he was afraid he would fall down accidentally. But surprisingly, the lotus leaf was surprisingly strong, so he walked smoothly. Pei Jing followed him slowly. The monks went up the stairs one by one with unchanged expressions, and everything went smoothly.
The accident happened in the second to last moment.
He lowered his head, stepped on the first lotus leaf, and then his body suddenly became empty.
He looked up suddenly, the smug smile on the man's lips had not yet faded, and his vision was full of shock and fear. He did not eat the insects, and wanted to use his spiritual power to break free, but there seemed to be a force pulling him down from below - the lotus leaf tilted, and he fell directly into the pond.
The emerald green lake began to reveal its hideous face. With a splash, a small amount of water was startled, and a dense mass of insects were revealed. In an instant, they gnawed him clean.
Either you eat the bugs or you get eaten by the bugs.
The bone lady at the front looked indifferent and said, "There are always a few fools in this world who think they are smart."
A cold wind blew.
The anger and dissatisfaction of the monks disappeared, their faces turned pale, and their eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
The man must have had some secret way to get through, but in the end his cleverness backfired.
Qiao Muchai's hands, which were pinching his neck, froze - he swallowed and vaguely felt that perhaps the insect was really a little sweet.
Pei Jing said lazily: "Qiao Qiao, did you see this? This is the consequence of not listening."
Qiao Mucai: "..."
Walk up the platform and enter the hall. There are many rooms here and the area is very spacious.
Everyone gathered in one place.
The bone lady said slowly: "This will be your place of cultivation from now on. You are in a situation where you cannot practice fasting, just like ordinary people. Someone will take care of your meals every day. I will give you the Soul Chasing Technique from my Soul Chasing Palace. When you break through the realm of creation, you can go out."
