"What new clue?" The eyes of the other three people immediately focused on Yu Qiu.
Yu Qiu tapped twice on the pages of the book of magic skills, "Maybe we should start from the source, maybe follow the clues." Then he looked at Gao Conghan, "You once said that you did it by accident Fell into a cave and found this book?"
Gao Conghan nodded.
"Did you go back to see that cave later?" Yu Qiu asked.
Gao Conghan was stunned.
"Looks like it's gone." Yu Qiu looked around at the three of them, "How about looking for it and exploring from the very beginning? After all, you have inherited another person's mantle... Maybe that person's bones can tell us something. "
Xiao Chunmian naturally had no objection, and Xu Hong also nodded in agreement. As for Gao Conghan... Although this matter is his business in theory, in fact he has no initiative at all now.
Gao Conghan's hometown is quite far from Xuanyang Mountain, even monks have to fly for more than half a month. For such a long trip, they need to report to the Zongmen first, then wait for the Zongmen's consent, and then buckle the name tags issued by the Zongmen around their waists, so that the Zongmen can know their whereabouts at any time, and prevent the Zongmen's disciples from encountering them outside. After the accident, there was no news... After such a toss, it was already a whole month when they were finally led by Gao Conghan to the deep mountain where he escaped into.
As soon as they stepped out of this mountain, they felt desolate in two words. Although there were vegetation on the mountain, they were all yellow and sparse, and the few animals I saw occasionally were all skinny. On the way, there were actually two hungry and confused wolves who wanted to kill them and attacked them.
Not to mention such a thin aura, it was not easy for Gao Conghan to spend his early stage of refining Qi here.
Because it has been too long and the situation at that time was too hasty, now Gao Conghan really can't remember the way. They had to search in the mountains according to Gao Conghan's memory, and found several caves that matched Gao Conghan's description along the way.
However…
"But all the caves are normal." Xu Hong held a magic weapon like a transparent ball in his hand, "It doesn't look like a burial place for demon cultivators."
This round bead is a magic weapon he borrowed from the seniors of the Demon Killing Team. It can detect the magic energy sensitively, and once it comes into contact with the magic energy in the air, it will turn black. But no matter how professionally he held the ball in the mountains, the ball was still so clear and transparent.
"It's nothing." Yu Qiu pointed at Gao Conghan, "Hey, a magic cultivator is here, and it can't detect anything yet."
"That is to say, the skeleton of the demon cultivator that Senior Brother Gao met at the beginning may also be the same as him, because when he was not possessed, he looked no different from a normal cultivator?" Xu Hong pondered.
"But in fact, although he looks the same as a normal monk." Xiao Chunmian looked at Gao Conghan, "We don't know if his skeleton is exactly the same as ours when his magic cultivator turns into a corpse. .”
After hearing the words, Yu Qiu and Xu Hong also looked at Gao Conghan.
Gao Conghan glared at Xiao Chunmian, gritted his teeth, "Why, you still want to peel me apart to see if I can get the bones?"
Xu Hong looked at the sky.
Yu Qiu touched his chin, "It doesn't have to be so bloody..."
"Did Xiaoqiu think of a method that penetrates the bones?" Xiao Chunmian walked to Yu Qiu's side, "It seems feasible."
The so-called piercing method, as the name suggests, is a technique that can see through the flesh and blood of a monk. The requirements are not too high, and it can be learned in the later stage of Qi refining. It is said that the difficulty is not too great, but it is... too biased , Few people will learn at all.
Because this technique is really not very useful, although it can identify immortal bones to a certain extent, monks can already see at a glance the aptitude of immortal bones whose cultivation level is lower than their own, so the bone-penetrating method eventually became useless , almost only those monks with special interests will study it. After all, the scene seen by using the bone-penetrating method is really not beautiful... and because it is rare, the price is not low. Xuanyangzong's bone-penetrating method has been ignored because of its high contribution value.
"Which one of you would?" Yu Qiu looked around hopelessly.
Sure enough, everyone shook their heads.
"There is a book in the sect, and my contribution is enough, but do I have to go back?" Xu Hong curled his lips, obviously disgusted with the time spent on the way back, "Why don't we look for it again?" Bar."
"No need." As a result, Yu Qiu took out a jade slip, "I happen to have a book here."
After a few people's pauses, they didn't expect that there would be people who would actually collect bone-penetrating techniques, so they couldn't help but look at Yu Qiu in doubt.
Yu Qiu's expression didn't change: In fact, he just searched the system and found that it only needs 100 experience points.
The four of them passed on this penetrating method, and studied it for a long time. In the end, Xu Hong, who had already established a foundation, was the first to learn it, followed by Yu Qiuxiao and Chunmian. Gao Conghan was immediately surrounded by them like a monkey, watching him constantly.
"It really doesn't look much different from a normal monk." Xu Hong said.
Yu Qiu and Xiao Chunmian were both silent. After a while, Yu Qiu asked, "Brother Xu, have you seen Moxiu's skeleton?"
"..." Xu Hong looked at the sky.
"What do you think Moxiu's skeleton will look like?" Yu Qiu asked.
"Isn't it black?" Xu Hong was stunned.
Moxiu represents darkness, which is the current cognition of the orthodox cultivation world in the entire Xuanyan Continent. Moxiu's appearance is black, blood is black, and bones should naturally be black—no wonder Xu Hong takes it for granted, for a monk who grew up in an orthodox environment, this association is so natural.
But in fact, Moxiu's bones are white.
No, it's not the bones of a normal person. Although the bones of mortals and low-level monks are also white, and they will have that kind of whiteness, but the bones of demon cultivators are far whiter and colder than others. As long as the two bones are compared together, the difference can be seen at a glance.
Just like Gao Conghan's body now.
"Half." Xiao Chunmian sighed. Yu Qiu followed behind and nodded.
Right now, Gao Conghan's bones, the extreme coldness that only belongs to Moxiu, wraps from the limbs to the chest cavity, but is blocked in the chest and abdomen, so the rest of the chest, abdomen and head are the color of a normal person. The normal person's white and the demon's forest white are constantly separated at the junction, sometimes shrinking in a circle, sometimes expanding in a circle, just like the beating of a heart.
After being reminded, Xu Hong also quickly noticed this change, and his face suddenly became serious.
"It's like a war." Xiao Chunmian described Gao Conghan's skeleton in this way, "The two armies are fighting against each other."
After the atmosphere was tense for a while, everyone let out a sigh of relief as if they had made an appointment. They discussed again how to find the cave at the beginning, how to find the skeleton of the demon cultivator that Gao Conghan had seen, but they were more eager than before.
"Did you bury that bone back then?" Everyone asked Gao Conghan.
"Of course not buried," Gao Conghan said.
Everyone looked up to the sky.
"Could it be taken away by a wild beast?"
"Who knows."
Then Yu Qiu searched for a spell in the reward interface of the system again: Time Rewinding Art.
Backtracking in time, as the name suggests, can allow latecomers to trace back to the scene that once existed by communicating the memory of vegetation, mountains and rocks, but because the level of spells is not high, the picture may be a little blurry. This is a foundation-building spell, and it seems to be an urgent solution. After all, Gao Conghan has only been in Daoism for more than five years, and he only chased each cave for five years. This consumption is completely acceptable for a monk in the foundation period.
But one is that Xu Hong is the only one of them in the foundation building period, and the other is that they want a full 2,000 experience points for this spell, and Yu Qiu has only saved half of it now. After all, this spell does not exist in Xuanyangzong's treasury, so it is more rare and naturally more expensive.
"Let's go back first." Yu Qiu finally suggested.
Everyone nodded helplessly.
"Wait until I build a foundation first." Yu Qiu added.
Xu Hong almost fell, Xiao Chunmian looked over in shock.
"Uh..." Yu Qiu looked away, "Actually, I feel almost the same recently."
Gao Conghan laughed and said happily, "What a coincidence, I also feel that I am almost done recently."
"Building the foundation?" Yu Qiu asked.
"Yes." Gao Conghan was proud.
"That's the best. You can build the foundation as soon as possible." Yu Qiu said, "You are different from us. You don't have time to build slowly and steadily."
Gao Conghan was stunned.
Yu Qiu squinted his eyes, and started to use the Bone Penetration Technique again, "Because you have to suppress 'him'. The magic cultivator in your body is already on the verge of foundation establishment, and you can't lag behind 'him' too much."
Because going out this time was not smooth, when they went back, they were quite dispirited, and they separated when they got back to Xuanyangzong.
It is worth mentioning that, because Gao Conghan's injury has already healed, and he insisted on preparing the foundation by himself, Xu Hong finally did not insist on bringing him back to Heishifeng again, but beat him several times. Surveillance techniques.
Xiao Chunmian also did not go back to Heishi Peak, but followed Yu Qiu back to the cave on Yuehua Peak.
"Your master doesn't talk about you?" Yu Qiu laughed.
"Master said, it's good for me to take a walk outside more." Xiao Chunmian replied.
Yu Qiu nodded. Anyway, there are many holes on his side... no, it's because there are many rooms, and Xiao Chunmian was settled soon.
Xiao Chunmian looked eagerly at the room where Yu Qiu lived, but Yu Qiu insisted that the bed was too small to sleep two people, and Xiao Chunmian did not insist. Although sometimes when he fell into a drowsy sleep, Yu Qiu would always feel that another person came up on the bed at some point.
If he's sleeping comfortably, he'll lean in and cuddle. If he didn't sleep well, he would just kick him down. So the next morning, Yu Qiu could always judge the quality of his sleep last night based on Xiao Chunmian's expression.
But Xiao Chunmian never complained to him, and has always been quiet.
Xiao Chunmian completely vented her emotions on tossing about the cave.
So very often, when Yu Qiu opened his eyes, he found that the roof of the cave had been leveled, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the table in the living room had been changed. There are more pots of bamboo.
Because of Xiao Chunmian's above-average taste in life, it didn't take long for Yu Qiu's cave to become an elegant and unique cave.
