Chapter 405 The Statue in the Abyss
Xu Ruluan and Miss Leng are both first-level evil spirits, and neither of them has the concealment effect of Xu Ruyan. If they choose to come to Xiaozhu Peak on their own, once they get close to Lingxiao Sect, if they are informed by the monk's talisman, there will be a high probability of conflict.
Whether it was Xu Ruluan and others being wiped out, or the monks being invaded by evil spirits, Chen Ping was not willing to see it.
So Chen Ping followed Xu Ruyan directly to the Demon Slaying Site.
This distance is not too far for Chen Ping.
When he arrived at the Demon Slaying Site, he looked at the huge pits for several miles around the site, and the thick broken branches of moss-covered trees, like cut sections of blue rock. Chen Ping was filled with sighs. One can imagine how brutal the battle here was back then.
Decades later, this is the first time Chen Ping has visited this area in person.
In fact, it’s not just Chen Ping who hasn’t been here.
Many other monks will not come to this area without special missions.
Because there were many high-level monks who died back then, the filth was everywhere here. Even if you walked here in broad daylight, the Evil Killing Talisman would feel faintly hot, and it would be even more terrifying at night.
And because this was a former demon cave where demon cultivators had been entrenched for many years, even now, Chen Ping could still feel a touch of demonic energy when he walked out of here.
This is truly a paradise for evil spirits.
"Master, Yan'er, come ahead and we'll come in together." Xu Ruyan led the way.
What does it mean to go in together?
Chen Ping looked around:
"It's not us, it's you. Just go and ask them to come up."
The demonic cultivators had been planning here for many years, and the underground palace must have been extremely deep and complicated. Even if it was completely destroyed later, there might still be residual traps.
Besides, if Xu Ruyan and the others could live here, there might be other evil spirits, and he didn't want to risk it just for the sake of two evil spirits.
Xu Ruyan had the urge to complain about her master.
But I dare not.
"Okay, Yan'er will come back as soon as she goes."
After Chen Ping saw Xu Ruyan slipping into the underground palace tunnel through the gap in the collapsed cave, he simultaneously released his consciousness and followed Xu Ruyan's figure to 'check' the situation underground.
There are signs of collapse everywhere in the cave.
The tunnels are so tight that in many places there is no room for a person to pass through them smoothly, but after going several miles underground, some relatively spacious caves will occasionally appear.
Some bones that have not been completely ashes can still be seen in the underground palace.
I don’t know if it was left behind by the demon-slaying war, or by the monks who later entered the place for adventure or treasure hunting.
Or maybe it was a monk from the Lingxiao Sect who came here to patrol in recent decades and died unexpectedly.
The further inside the underground palace, the higher the frequency of black air appearing.
Finally, Xu Ruyan stopped in a collapsed underground palace.
With the appearance of Xu Ruyan, two evil spirits soon appeared.
Chen Ping's consciousness quickly searched the cave that was full of filth. There was nothing unique about it. After looking for a long time, he didn't see the dark pattern Xu Ruyan mentioned.
But at this moment, an evil spirit slightly touched a piece of blue rock behind him, and Chen Ping noticed that there was a line there that flashed slightly.
Dark streaks are fleeting.
Then it returns to the texture of the rock itself.
No wonder.
This bionic is also too strong.
I am afraid that even if the patrolling monks from the Lingxiao Sect go deep here, they may not be able to find anything unusual here.
Chen Ping looked at the dark pattern carefully.
Upon closer inspection, the dark lines actually represent the outline of a lotus flower, and are not without rules.
But other than that, there are no other features.
I don't see why a Xie Zou's cultivation level can be allowed to cross two levels.
Thinking of Xu Ruyan saying that Aunt Leng came from the other side of the dark pattern, Chen Ping concentrated his consciousness and let her enter the wall.
His spiritual consciousness is several times stronger than that of monks in the same realm, and it can penetrate dozens of miles even into the soil.
However, what made Chen Ping regretful was that after his spiritual consciousness entered the wall, he found nothing unusual.
That's just an ordinary wall.
Chen Ping pulled out his consciousness and looked at the dark lotus carefully again. This time, his consciousness entered the dark lotus unconsciously and accurately, and he suddenly felt a trance.
Chen Ping was shocked.
Sure enough, there is something abnormal.
But before he could react, his consciousness continued to deepen and he felt a stronger sense of trance and dizziness.
The dark lotus pattern seemed to have turned into a dark passage, and his consciousness was floating in it like a mote of dust.
Along with the dizziness comes a strong feeling of exclusivity.
Chen Ping was shocked. His instinctive sense of self-protection made him instantly cut off his consciousness and withdraw the consciousness deep into the dark pattern to avoid further backlash.
What is this dark pattern?
Why exclusivity?
Will it be aggressive?
Chen Ping didn't understand, but he didn't dare to try again. One thing is certain: the dark pattern definitely hides a secret.
"Master, Yan'er is back." A voice brought Chen Ping back to reality.
Behind Xu Ruyan, two women stood.
Two women who are very recognizable.
One of them looks very similar to Xu Ruyan, and Chen Ping knows it is Xu Ruluan without any introduction.
Like Xu Ruyan, she was also wearing a Xu uniform-style red dress and had a slender figure. If she hadn't been more dignified and quiet, Chen Ping wouldn't even be able to tell who was the elder sister and who was the younger sister.
"My little daughter, Xu Ruluan, has met Master Chen Xian." Xu Ruluan gave a slight salute.
Chen Ping nodded. At this time, his attention was no longer on her, but on the female evil spirit whom Xu Ruyan called Aunt Leng.
this.
It's not normal at all.
Rather than saying that it was an evil spirit that a female cultivator turned into, it was better to say that it was a rattle.
It's just that one side of the rattle has a drum head, and the other side has the face of a fox with its eyes closed.
What do you call Aunt Leng? Just call her Cold-faced Fox.
When she saw Chen Ping, she said nothing.
Instead, it keeps changing its face.
"She is what Yan'er called Aunt Leng. She can't speak. She keeps turning her head, which means she is very happy." Xu Ruyan said quickly.
Chen Ping is wary of cold-faced foxes and evil spirits.
Among the three evil spirits, Xu Ruyan has completed the contract, and she and he now share weal and woe, and it is impossible to harm him. Xu Ruluan is Xu Ruyan's sister, and he has indirectly completed her revenge on her behalf. The two had no connection during their lives, and there is no reason to harm him.
.
But this cold-faced fox has to be guarded against.
It's not that she's worried about her targeting him for no reason.
But her origin is unknown, and the dark pattern of the lotus flower in the cave is full of mystery.
Chen Ping has always been highly vigilant about unknown things.
He carefully looked at the cold-faced fox and realized that its evil aura was not very strong. It was obviously at the first level at the moment. It was unlikely that it could hurt him in this case. Chen Ping felt relieved a little.
"It is not advisable to stay for a long time at this moment. You all go into the stone tablet first, and I will take you back." Chen Ping said, and a stone tablet was suspended in front of him.
After the three women entered the stone monument, Chen Ping quickly returned to Xiaozhu Peak without stopping.
After returning to the quiet room, he activated the small mountain protection formation and arranged evil-killing charms everywhere in the quiet room, and then released Xu Ruluan, giving priority to empathy.
Most of Xu Ruluan's life experiences overlap with Xu Ruyan's, so empathy was quickly completed.
So are their obsessions.
It is now considered completed.
However, Chen Ping was not in a hurry to let her complete the contract, but immediately summoned the cold-faced fox, eager to use the cold-faced fox to understand what was behind the dark lotus pattern.
