Chapter 158 The Cracked Tomb
Meng Jingxiu followed Ning Cheng closely, and the two speeded up. But this long mountain road seemed to be boundless. The two walked for more than half a day. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two still did not walk out of this mountain road.
"Senior brother Xiaocheng..." Meng Jingxiu felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously called out in a trembling voice. In the face of death, she was not afraid, but this kind of weirdness made her very uncomfortable.
Ning Cheng stopped, looked around, and suddenly said, "Junior Sister Jingxiu, I don't think we need to continue walking. If it wasn't for the fact that this mountain road is really extremely long, then the two of us have entered the phantom formation .”
"Phantom formation?" Meng Jingxiu repeated unconsciously. She doesn't know formations, but she knows how powerful formations are. Once a person who doesn't understand formations enters the phantom formation, it will be extremely difficult to get out. Even if there is no one to control it, the people in the phantom array may wander around until they fall.
Ning Cheng signaled Meng Jingxiu not to be nervous, "Junior Sister Jingxiu, we may not have entered the phantom formation, or the road is really long. I also know a little about the formation. If it was really a phantom formation, I should have already entered the phantom formation." I noticed it. I didn’t notice it, which means it’s not necessarily a phantom formation.”
"Then what should I do?" Only now did Meng Jingxiu realize how difficult it is to go to Yi Xinghai alone in Jiazhou, if she was alone, she would not know what to do.
"Don't worry, it's getting dark now. We'll spend the night here tonight and leave tomorrow. The aura in this place is thin, and logically speaking, no powerful monks will come here. Ordinary monks, as long as they don't reach the profound liquid state I don't pay attention to it." Ning Cheng said extremely steadily.
Meng Jingxiu had no idea at this time. Of course it was what Ning Cheng said. She just does it.
After half an hour, the two left the winding mountain road and entered the depths of the mountain range instead.
"Senior brother Xiaocheng, this place is so weird, why did we come here to dig a cave?" Meng Jingxiu knew that Ning Cheng wanted to dig a cave deep in the mountains, so she asked another question in confusion.
Ning Cheng chuckled, "There is a saying in my hometown that the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. It should also apply here, but I think it's inappropriate to spend the night by the side of the road."
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and Meng Jingxiu's heart tightened. This was the first sound she heard after entering this barren mountain. She subconsciously moved closer to Ning Cheng, how could there be footsteps in this place? If he was a monk, he wouldn't walk in the middle of the night.
Ning Cheng patted Meng Jingxiu and said through voice transmission, "Use the concealment method I taught you to conceal the aura of the whole body. The two footsteps that came over just now were lifeless footsteps. If it's not a zombie, it's a puppet.
I haven't seen zombies yet, they are probably puppets made by evil cultivators. We don't have to worry about it. Wait for this puppet to walk over. "
Meng Jingxiu hummed, already restraining her breath.
After the two of them restrained their breath, it didn't take long. Under the pale moonlight, two figures walked up, one in front and one behind, and the two people were still carrying a wooden box. The faces of the two were as pale as the pale moonlight, and extremely pale.
"They are dead people..." Meng Jingxiu's voice transmission trembled a little. The dead people were still carrying things, obviously they were zombies.
Ning Cheng didn't transmit the voice this time, and said in a low voice, "They shouldn't be normal dead people, but ordinary people were refined into corpse puppets by monks. This monk is so vicious, he forcibly refined a living person into this Kind of a walking dead."
He studied formations, and also studied some simple mechanism puppet techniques, and knew that there was such a technique as refining living people into corpse puppets. This kind of spell is extremely cruel, Ning Cheng has no interest in seeing it.
At this moment, Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness had already landed in the wooden box carried by the two of them, when he saw clearly the person inside the box, he immediately gasped in surprise.
"What's wrong? Brother Xiaocheng?" Meng Jingxiu asked hastily.
"I know the person in that box, why did she come here? This woman is here, what should Yueying and the others do?" After Ning Cheng answered Meng Jingxiu's words, he said a few words to himself.
"Who is it?" Meng Jingxiu asked quickly.
"It's the woman with the veil on the face of the No-Nian Sect. Yue Ying, Junior Sister Danqin, and Zang Shuo were the ones who made the decision to join the No-Nian Sect. She herself is at the Ninth Level of Condensed True Cultivation, and The late Zhuyuan man next to her is even more powerful, how could he be captured in such a small place and have his cultivation sealed?" Ning Cheng replied doubtfully.
Meng Jingxiu was also stunned for a moment, and then she said, "Isn't Wu Nianzong from Lezhou? It stands to reason that she was teleported out, so she should be teleported to Lezhou. Why is she in Huazhou?"
After finishing speaking, Meng Jingxiu realized that these were not the main points, the main point was that even the main core disciples of the Wu Nian Sect were here, so how could Junior Sister Danqin and the others be any better?
"Then what should we do?" Meng Jingxiu just finished asking this sentence, Ning Cheng suddenly covered her mouth, and at the same time the breath on his body completely restrained.
Meng Jingxiu was originally extremely smart, and her comprehension ability was also extremely astonishing. Ning Cheng didn't need to speak at all, she knew what to do, even restrained the aura of her whole body, and gradually merged with Ning Cheng, completely fused in the surrounding grass.
Just as the two of them restrained their breath, a tyrannical divine sense had already swept over them. This ray of consciousness didn't stop, it just swept across quickly, and then disappeared.
Meng Jingxiu's forehead broke out in cold sweat, she knew that once she was caught by this divine sense, she and Ning Cheng would be finished.
Ning Cheng let go of Meng Jingxiu, heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "This is a guy with profound liquid cultivation, I can't beat him now, at least his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than mine."
After being silent for a while, Ning Cheng said again, "The difference between Xuanye and Zhuyuan is just that the real yuan is stronger, forming a prototype of a Danhu lake. If you have mental calculations and no intentions, it's not like you have no chance of winning."
"Brother Xiaocheng, do you want to save her?" Meng Jingxiu asked in a trembling voice. It's not that she didn't want to save the woman wearing the scarf, but that Ning Cheng wanted to save someone from a cultivator of Xuanye, that would be like throwing an egg at a rock ah.
Ning Cheng said in a deep voice, "I have to save her. Yueying, Danqin and Zang Shuo were all with this person. Now that she is like this, what will happen to Yueying and others? I count on Shenfeng Academy Protect Luo Concubine, now that something may happen to the disciples of the Shenfeng Academy, how can I stay out of it? Besides, I have seen someone who is considered acquainted, and it is not appropriate to refuse to save them."
"Then let's go there together." Seeing that Ning Cheng had made up his mind, Meng Jingxiu said aside.
Ning Cheng nodded, "You follow me carefully, remember, no matter where we are, we have to hide our breath. This guy is at best a monk who has just been promoted to Xuanye, and his cultivation level is not yet stable. The Dan Lake must not be fully formed yet. As long as we don't get discovered by him before we start, we are not without a chance of winning."
Ning Cheng was not at ease about leaving Meng Jingxiu here alone. He was sure that the woman in the purple skirt was brought here by the corpse puppet after being sent to this mountain range, and it was definitely not carried in by the corpse puppet from outside the mountain by itself.
"Okay." Meng Jingxiu has no objection at all, no matter what Ning Cheng decides, she will never object.
...
The two corpse puppets carried the wooden box into a more hidden canyon. Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu carefully followed the two corpse puppets, but they didn't dare to make a move.
Ning Cheng knew very well that although that divine sense was not there now, it had already paid attention to a wooden box. It is indeed very easy for him to kill these two corpse puppets now, but after killing the corpse puppets, it is difficult to escape from this place. To save this woman wearing a veil, she must secretly kill that cultivator of Xuanye.
He was just a monk at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and if he wanted to kill the monk Xuanye, there was really no better way than a sneak attack without knowing it.
The two corpse puppets in front turned another corner, and Ning Cheng led Meng Jingxiu to speed up. After getting close to the two corpse puppets, he suddenly took out the seven luminous ice needles and sacrificed them. The Qiyao Ice Needle just flashed in the night sky, then disappeared, even Meng Jingxiu didn't see Ning Cheng's movements.
After another half stick of incense, the two corpse puppets stopped in front of an overgrown grave. The two corpse puppets put down the wooden box and opened it, and dumped the woman in the purple skirt inside the wooden box on the ground in front of the grave.
After finishing these, the two corpse puppets lifted the empty wooden box again, turned around and walked back along the way they came from, completely ignorant of fatigue.
Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu restrained their breath and lay down in a bush outside the tomb without moving.
At this time, some voices finally came from the silent valley. It was the rustling of the bushes blown by the wind. Against the backdrop of the pale moonlight, it seemed even more eerie.
After this gust of mountain wind blew, the tombstone in front of the tomb suddenly split left and right, and a gloomy breath seeped out from inside. A woman in a green dress suddenly came out of the cracked tomb. She directly picked up the woman in the purple dress who was wearing a scarf in front of the tomb, and turned around and walked into the tomb.
The split tomb slowly closed again.
Before the tomb was about to close, Ning Cheng carried Meng Jingxiu in his arms and rushed in instantly. Then he hid in a corner and didn't move. He was very fortunate that the Xuanye cultivator didn't use his spiritual sense to scan him at this time. If he was scanned at this time, he would definitely be discovered.
Meng Jingxiu was embraced by Ning Cheng, and said in a trembling voice, "Senior Brother Xiaocheng, was that girl in the green skirt just now also a corpse puppet?"
Ning Cheng quickly sent a voice transmission to Meng Jingxiu, "No, that's a living person. However, his whole body is extremely dark, and he must have practiced some weird technique. Junior sister Jingxiu, from now on, if it's not an urgent matter, don't Send it to me."
Meng Jingxiu nodded quickly, but Ning Cheng led her to hide in another, more hidden corner. Only now did Ning Cheng carefully observe the situation inside with his spiritual sense.
(The third one is here, good night, friends!)
