Chapter 115 Taoist Book of the Corpse
The fire cloud had just approached the top of the island, and Dai Xiangfei said: "Taoist Master, this is where it is."
Xu Heng was a little surprised. Nine is the ultimate number. The so-called Jiuyin Zhensha refers to the most yin and pure evil spirit.
This volcanic island is filled with fire and heat. It is obvious that the underground fire veins are very strong and may even go straight to the lungs of the earth. It is really hard to see what it has to do with the Nine Yin Zhensha.
However, Xu Heng thought about it again and realized that if this was true, it seemed to be consistent with the principle of yin and yang, and he couldn't help but believe it.
The fire cloud gradually slowed down, avoiding the billowing black smoke and falling towards the volcanic island. Dai Xiangfei pointed into the crater again: "My father once said that if you enter the underground from this crater, you can find the location of the Nine Yin True Evils. "
"I have tried to search for it several times, but my magic power is really low and I have never been able to get too deep." Dai Xiangfei said apologetically: "So I have brought you here and I have no clue."
"Oh?" Xu Heng stared at the crater for a moment, then glanced at Dai Xiangfei and said, "It doesn't matter, in that case, I can just look for it myself."
Dai Xiangfei breathed a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I don't dare to disturb the Taoist Master's exploration, so I'll take my leave first."
Xu Heng nodded in agreement, but Dai Xiangfei was not in a hurry to leave. He hesitated a little and said, "Excuse me for being presumptuous. I wonder if you know where the Taoist priest practices in the fairy mountain? Or maybe you are lucky enough to get a token or two?"
Xu Heng asked: "Why do you say this?"
"It's true." Dai Xiangfei said sadly: "Although I, Dai, were able to survive this disaster with the help of the Taoist priest, I have seen clearly that after my father's death, Dai no longer has the ability to defend Cangzhu Mountain. "
"So I have decided to lead my people to move away from Cangzhu Mountain, but I still have no plans on where to go."
Dai Xiangfei took a deep breath and continued: "Master Taoist has been very kind and kind to me, Dai. Dai has nothing to repay now, but if he can settle down in the future, he will try his best to repay. That's why I say this."
Xu Heng looked sideways slightly, and seeing his sincere expression, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "I'm just doing it for Jiuyin Zhensha, so don't worry about it."
Dai Xiangfei wanted to say something else, but Xu Heng had already made up his mind and just said: "Go."
Seeing this, Dai Xiangfei had no choice but to say goodbye, turned around and flew towards Bihaizhou, and disappeared from sight after a moment.
Xu Heng then said to Ling Junzi, "Junior sister, do you want to come with us?"
Ling Junzi glanced into the crater a few times, with a little fear on his face, and said: "Brother, I don't know how to ward off fire."
Xu Heng's thoughts changed. Although he possesses the fire escape technique and can bring Ling Junzi with him, he still doesn't know what the situation is under the crater, and he doesn't know how deep the Nine Yin Zhensha is hidden. There is no need to show off. , then said: "The junior sister is waiting for me on the island."
Ling Junzi nodded, Xu Heng took out another square of Xuanbing from his sleeve and said, "Junior sister holds this for self-defense. If she encounters danger, she can activate it directly."
Ling Junzi took it in his hand and said, "Isn't this the Xuanbing warrior from yesterday?"
Xu Heng smiled slightly, this was indeed a 'Xuanbing Warrior', but the spirituality of the thousand-year-old Xuanbing and the mana he had poured into it were running low, and without the help of the right time and place, there was no such great mana anymore.
Of course, having said that, it is still not difficult to resist an ordinary monk for a while, and once activated, he will feel something and can return from the volcano immediately, which is enough to protect Ling Junzi.
He didn't explain too much. He only taught Ling Junzi the method of awakening the black ice warrior. After making sure that she had memorized it carefully, he flew towards the volcano without any further delay.
In the crater of the volcano, magma is surging. This thing is not actually a flame. It relies solely on the fire escape technique. Unless you reach the state where you can escape by turning into fire, you cannot escape directly in it.
Xu Heng thought for a moment, then poured his magic power into the Hesu robe. Soon, a thin layer of smoke emerged from the robe, lingering in the air.
Xu Heng tried to fly close to the magma. As expected, as he approached, he saw that the magma was slightly separated. He immediately no longer hesitated and dived into the magma. Suddenly, there was only orange, red and golden color left in front of him, as if he had fallen into a world of only blazing heat.
However, although it was surrounded by magma in all directions, it was isolated by a thin layer of smoke, making it difficult to penetrate at all. As for the huge fire gas and heat, Xu Heng was not afraid of the fire escape.
"Good robe." Xu Heng secretly praised it. When the robe came into his hands, it didn't show much performance in air defense and self-defense, but its ability to transform earth, water, fire, and wind was put to use first.
Although he could also cast spells to separate the magma himself, with the Hesu robe around, he obviously saves a lot of mana and can also free up his mind to deal with other changes.
Xu Heng fled decisively towards the depths of the magma. He expected that the Nine Yin Demons might be buried deep underground, even deeper than the seabed, so he increased his speed extremely quickly.
Firstly, he was afraid that if he swallowed slowly, he would not be able to reach that deep even if he exhausted all his magic power. Secondly, Xu Hengtong read Taoism and knew that the depths of the earth were not completely silent.
In the turbid air of the ground, the fire air of the earth's lungs, the air of Kunling, and even various earth evil spirits, anything may be born, not to mention some ancient and ancient dangers buried deep in the earth...
Generally speaking, even if ordinary monks have the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, they dare not go too deep underground.
Therefore, Xu Heng had to reserve mana to guard against accidents, so he galloped all the way, and even had a bit of the momentum of the past, flashing through the gaps in the ground.
But to his surprise, he had only gone about four to five thousand feet, and he had already faintly noticed some changes.
"I'm afraid it hasn't reached the bottom of the sea yet. Could it be that this volcano was not formed by the spitting out of fire from the earth's lungs?" Xu Heng's thoughts changed and he suddenly thought of something.
According to legend, most of the countless islands in the Xingxiu Sea were formed by meteorites falling into the sea. Could it be that this volcano and even the Nine Yin Zhensha that may exist in it were all brought by meteorites?
Xu Heng didn't make too many guesses, and followed his own senses to escape. Suddenly, he felt that the further he went, the sharper the temperature rose. Even the magma no longer existed, only the purest raging flames.
The majestic fire energy even surpassed many fire techniques, making Xu Heng's fire escape technique faintly unable to withstand it.
Xu Heng secretly paid attention to his mana consumption to prevent him from accidentally falling into catastrophe. At the same time, he increased his speed and ran forward with all his strength for a few breaths. Suddenly, he realized that there seemed to be a large rock wall in front of him. Under the burning of the flames, It shows a color like gold and iron.
Xu Heng frowned slightly and searched along the rock wall. Soon he found a place to vent his anger in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed a cave leading deep into the rock wall.
Xu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed in decisively. Not long after, he saw a majestic black energy rushing in, clashing with the fire energy, but there was no earth-shattering movement, but an unusual harmony was formed.
"Nine Yins are so evil!"
Xu Heng regained his energy, broke out of the flames and fell into the black air. Feeling the pure and full Yin evil energy, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart. In this flame-filled underground, there is actually a pure and pure Jiuyin Zhensha growing there. It is truly a miraculous workmanship and a miraculous creation.
Xu Heng raised his hand and picked it, catching a thread of Yin evil in the palm of his hand. He immediately knew in his heart that this Nine Yin evil was of excellent quality! It's so pure that it seems like it hasn't been mixed with any impurities.
But this is impossible. There is still one escape from the four-nine ways of heaven. How can it be possible that the earthly evil created by nature does not have any miscellaneous energy mixed in? It was just that it was so pure that Xu Heng couldn't sense it.
There is also a possibility that the Nine Yin Zhensha grew up surrounded by earthly fire, and was therefore constantly 'calcined' by the earthly fire, becoming more pure every moment.
Thinking about this, Xu Heng couldn't help but turn around, carefully feel the conflict between the evil spirit and the fire energy, and really found some taste of it.
Xu Heng intuitively felt that this would be of great help to his understanding of yin and yang. He was a little immersed in it for a while, but gradually, a solemn look appeared on his face.
"This is..." Xu Heng opened his Dharma Eyes and looked at it seriously for a moment, his heart suddenly sank.
His feeling was correct, but in such a short period of time, the 'boundary' between the fire energy and the evil energy had moved inward. Although this distance could be described as insignificant, it was real.
But for Jiuyin Zhensha to grow here, and even exist for such a long time, there must be a delicate balance between it and the earthly fire. Otherwise, if one party has already been exhausted, how could it be Xu Heng's turn to come here?
In this situation, there is only one possibility, that is, someone has adopted, or is even adopting the Nine Yin True Evil, which directly causes the imbalance between Yin and Yang.
"Dai's family?" Xu Hengsheng had this thought and rejected it instantly. Except for Dai Zhiling, it would be difficult for the rest of the Dai family to enter this place through the crater, let alone using the Nine Yin True Evil.
Xu Heng frowned, having no time to watch the conflict between yin and yang anymore, he turned around and headed towards the evil hole.
The corridors in this evil acupoint were actually created by the impact and erosion of evil energy, so most of them had no twists and turns. The evil energy became more intense as he went in, and gradually his eyes became pitch black. He could only use his spiritual thoughts to move forward.
On the way, he had discovered that the Nine Yin True Evils were indeed decreasing, and his heart sank again and again.
Xu Heng has determined that deep in this evil hole, someone must be taking advantage of the real evil, and this is obviously not good news for him.
Xu Heng took a gentle breath to calm down. He did not increase his speed out of eagerness, but still carefully explored the situation ahead before heading deeper. After probably an hour or two, his heart suddenly moved slightly.
In his perception, there seemed to be something floating and moving in his direction.
"Is this... a person?" Xu Heng sensed the appearance of the thing with his mind, and immediately became vigilant. He knew that the matter involved a local evil, and it was no longer an ordinary dispute of interests, but a dispute between paths.
The two of them were in the same evil hole. Even if he didn't do anything, the other party would kill him, so he raised his fingertips slightly and made a sword gesture.
In this narrow terrain, although the flying sword cannot operate, its killing power is also the most intuitive. Xu Heng only needs to think, and the shadow sword will immediately burst out and kill the opponent.
But he only held the sword secret in his hand for a moment, and then suddenly let it go.
He found that the 'person' didn't seem to be coming towards him, but was floating around with the surge of evil energy. This behavior really didn't look like a stranger, but more like... a corpse.
"What exactly is this?" Xu Heng frowned slightly, flicked his sleeves and walked quickly inward. After a while, with his limited eyesight, he finally saw a figure floating in the evil aura.
With a thought, Xu Heng used a transporting technique and arrested the figure. As expected, it was just a corpse.
"Why is there a corpse in this evil hole? Could it be that this person did not overestimate his own abilities and failed to combine the Nine Yins with the true evil, and instead lost his life?"
While Xu Heng was thinking, he held the corpse in front of him, turned over and took a look at its face, but he couldn't help but be shocked.
This man was in his thirties, with square eyebrows and a bold nose. Needless to say, he was quite handsome, but Xu Heng felt very familiar when he looked at him.
When he was on Yuechi Island, Master Xuanxin once showed him Dai Zhiling's portrait. Isn't this what it looked like?
"Dai Zhiling?! How could this person die in this evil cave?" Xu Heng was surprised and looked up and down with his Dongzhu Dharma Eye. He didn't see any fatal wounds on Dai Zhiling's body, but he could see his body. He is still absorbing the Nine Yin Zhensha, which makes him feel even more incredible.
It turns out that the body of Dai Zhiling is still 'absorbing' the Nine Yin True Evil. But why did he, a dignified Gangsha monk, die in the evil hole, and why does he continue to absorb the Nine Yin True Evil after death?
Xu Heng was filled with doubts. After hesitating for a moment, he finally confessed and searched his body, but only found a scarlet jade pendant.
This jade pendant turned out to be a storage artifact. The space inside was more than ten times larger than an ordinary storage bag, but there were only a few items in it.
Xu Heng looked over one by one. He saw several bottles of elixirs of unknown origin, hundreds of magic coins, and a large number of spiritual stones... He didn't take a second look at any of these properties. In the end, he only found a thin jade box. .
Xu Heng actually felt that none of these things could answer his doubts, but after thinking about it, he opened the jade box and took a look, but he let out a light sigh.
It turned out that this thin jade box contained a Taoist book, which touched Xu Heng's heart.
He might not care about the property, and even thought that if there was fate in the future, it would be okay to return the body to Dai together with these things, but when he saw this book, he couldn't help but want to take a look.
Xu Heng thought for a while and opened the title page first to see what secrets were not told. Unexpectedly, he just took a glance and his eyes suddenly showed shock.
The preface of this book describes in a self-narrative tone that he was "wandering around the world" and saw a world completely different from this world.
All living beings there are practicing the methods of immortals. The author only uses a few strokes to describe the great supernatural powers of these outstanding people, holding mountains and seas, and turning the world upside down.
This is not the most surprising thing. The most amazing thing is that the author actually commented in a condescending manner that the method of immortals has "quite merit" and said that jade from other mountains can attack rocks——
His method of observing human beings and immortals and creating shocking techniques are recorded in this article.
