The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger in the long corridor, and at the same time it is getting hotter and hotter... so hot that the air seems to be filled with blood mist.
If Xia Qingyang hadn't forced himself to get used to the strong smell of blood in these hundred days, he might have made a fool of himself here.
Slowly, he heard a "gurgling" sound of liquid rolling.
He followed Xueyi to the end of the tunnel and stepped into the largest cave.
Then as expected, I saw the constantly rolling blood pool, and a stunning beauty soaked in the blood pool...
Long black hair like silk, and skin as white as milk... She stood in the middle of the blood pool with her back to Xia Qingyang. She was obviously surrounded by the blood, but she seemed lonely and independent, as if she had emerged from the mud and was not stained.
Is this his master, Mrs. Xuanyin?
At this time, Xueyi took two steps forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Master, this disciple has brought Xiao Wu to see you."
Xia Qingyang hurriedly cupped his fists and said: "Disciple Xuewu, pay your respects to the master."
Unexpectedly, just as he bowed down, the woman soaked in the blood pool waved her hand, and a stream of pure Xuanyin Qi suddenly hit him!
Xia Qingyang was shocked and couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
"boom!"
His whole body was knocked backwards by this blast of energy.
But judging from his senses, this attack is not too painful... According to Xia Qingyang's senses, it seems that this is an attack that is almost six or seven levels of foundation building, and he can definitely withstand it.
But what was quite fatal was that the cold poison in his body was suddenly aroused, causing him to tremble with cold.
"Stand up."
Mrs. Xuanyin said coldly.
Xia Qingyang quickly endured the coldness on his body and stood up.
Because of the sultry blood mist surrounding him, there was a visible cold air constantly emanating from his body.
"Your foundation is not bad, but your appearance makes me angry, so I will punish you not to drink human blood today!"
Xia Qingyang touched his tender face... Why does this appearance make people angry?
But at this time, he could only clasp his fists and say, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Xueyi next to him maintained a faint smile, seeming to be in a good mood.
Madam Xuanyin didn't care much about this fifth disciple who had just started practicing. She just said lightly: "Okay, you have passed this level... From now on, you will be my fifth disciple Xue Wu."
"Go to the Sutra Collection Building to get the follow-up practice method... I will feed you in the blood pool for three years. After three years, you will go outside for me. You must turn in a certain amount of fresh human blood every month, otherwise I will use your own
Fill this blood pool with blood."
"Go and practice yourself."
After a series of words, he waved his hand again and drove Xia Qingyang and Xue Yi out together.
Xia Qingyang was completely baffled and met Xue Yi's eyes that were gloating and pretending to be sympathetic.
"Okay, Xiao Wu, you go and rest yourself. Master doesn't allow you to drink blood today, so don't go out."
After saying that, the senior brother, who had a very narrow space in his heart, left calmly.
Xia Qingyang trembled and walked back. The return trip was much more difficult than when he came here.
Fortunately, with his current endurance and recovery power, the cold poison has not exceeded his limit.
Halfway back, shivering, he felt that his cold poison had passed its peak, and then he began to slowly get better.
Even so, every step he took would leave a trail of frost, and a thick layer of frost had condensed on his body, making him look extremely pitiful.
But most of the postures at this time are just fake. You can't just walk like flying now, right?
He returned to his room in a complete state of composure... and even in his own room, he did not relax his vigilance and still lay there honestly all night.
Even now that he knew that there were many ghosts of people who died in vain around him, he felt uneasy even when he fell asleep, and his sleep was not so peaceful.
Early the next morning, he quickly asked the maid who came to deliver breakfast to put a bowl of blood, and then ran outside full of energy.
He is now an official disciple of Xuanyin Blood Pool, ranking fifth among this generation.
Therefore, his maid this morning also brought him a 'Blood Wu' waist badge, indicating his identity.
At this time, he hurriedly went out, in fact, he was going to Qingsheng City to find the scripture library.
On the one hand, this is to express my obedience to the senior brother Xue Yi, but on the other hand, I really want to go out and get some fresh air.
This time he entered the city without anyone, but fortunately he had memorized many places before.
Qingsheng City is actually not big, and the functional buildings here are also very conspicuous.
He did not wander around in a conspicuous manner on the street, but came to the Sutra Library with a clear goal.
At this time, he was just a young monk who had just established his foundation, and he did not dare to wander around.
There are not many people here on the first floor of the Sutra Collection Building, and it is covered with thick dust.
No one even manages it here, and a large number of classics are just randomly stuffed on the bookshelves, without any structure at all.
Most of the people who come to this sutra collection building go to the second floor, where the valuable exercises are located.
Xia Qingyang still rummaged around on the first floor. He didn't have the intention of picking up things, but the things he wanted were placed on the first floor...
It takes some patience to find scriptures about transcending the dead souls in such a pile of dusty books.
He flipped through it for a long time, but he was the first to find the "Lingbao Wumeiren Miaojing"... It turned out that it was recorded on bamboo slips, and because it was too long, the bamboo slips were incomplete.
Just take a look at it and remember the contents for future use.
But unexpectedly, I found the "Hidden Jade Art" skill on a pile of rags in the corner.
This is a technique for hiding aura, but it's probably not that useful, so it's been thrown here as garbage.
Xia Qingyang picked it up and didn't take it away. He just wrote down the contents and put it on the bookshelf.
Who knows if there is an "old sweeper" squatting in this Buddhist scripture building? He would not dare to take away anything casually.
For the next three days, he was looking for interesting things... Fortunately, even if he didn't use Qigong, his cold poison would not attack for the time being.
Among them, the most useful thing was to find a light-body kung fu "Teng Yun Bu" used by human body-training warriors, and finally found two useful scriptures on transcendence.
"Emperor Dongyue's Resurrection Precepts", "The Supreme Taoist Master's Wonderful Sutra of Explanation of Injustice and Eradication of Crime".
In three days, he roughly organized the first floor of the Sutra Storage Building, and it finally looked less messy.
After doing all this, he felt much more comfortable.
The only uncomfortable thing is that I haven't washed a pair in three days, and the originally sweet smell of blood on my body has now turned into the smell of rotten blood... It smells very bad.
But he didn't care, maybe the smell of rotten blood was more effective in concealing it inside the Demon Sect.
He then climbed to the second floor of the Sutra Collection Building to receive his advanced practice skills.
…
There is a female Taoist who manages classics on the second floor. She is holding a volume of scripture and reading it carefully.
Without raising his eyes to look at Xia Qingyang, he frowned and twitched his nose before throwing out a jade slip and saying: "The contents of the first chapter of the Taiyin Secret Scroll are enough for you to complete the Qi refining period."
"When your Qi refining period is complete, you can use your Lady Xuanyin's decree to obtain subsequent exercises."
Xia Qingyang put away the jade slips and thanked the female Taoist priest, then took out the two volumes of Taoist scriptures for transcendence and said: "Senior, can I borrow these two volumes of scriptures?"
The female Taoist laughed in surprise and said: "You, a junior, are also interesting, but you want to study this righteous classic in my holy sect?"
Xia Qingyang showed a helpless expression and said: "Senior brother ordered me to solve the problem of ghosts in the blood pool... I have just arrived and have little savings, so I can only think of this cheap method."
"I see, then you have to work hard... I'll give you these two volumes of Taoist scriptures, just be careful not to delay your practice."
The female Taoist said nothing more. It was obvious that she did not take the two volumes of Taoist scriptures seriously.
For Xia Qingyang, this means that he can use these two volumes of Taoist scriptures to transcend ghosts and register them in the Demon Sect, so that no one will make trouble for him in the future.
