Getting up from the cold ground, Jiang Wuji first rubbed his sister's head, and then took stock of the current situation.
The underground river washed them to a low-lying area. Xiaoyu used vines on the rock wall to build a bonfire, and their coats were hung to dry beside the fire.
Cao Li, who was lying next to the fire, was still awake. He had multiple fractures on his body and a large piece of flesh was removed from his calf.
The little fish has minor injuries all over its body, and apart from being a little embarrassed, there are no other problems.
On the other hand, I didn't have any injuries at all, my nails had grown back, and even my physical strength had returned to its best condition.
At this time, Xiaoyu said with a worried look on his face: "There is a section of the underground river where the current is very fast. My brother seems to have broken a rib. Brother, are you really okay?"
"It's okay." Jiang Wuji touched the red hijab in the lapel of his clothes. It must be related to the female corpse with small feet.
"elder brother……"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhiyu pursed his lips and asked, "What is that red hijab..."
"It should be regarded as a magic weapon, I can't tell clearly." Jiang Wuji explained.
"When my brother was in a coma, it seemed to come to life."
Xiaoyu's words made Jiang Wuji's heart tighten, "The red hijab came to life? What did she do to you?"
Just when Jiang Wuji squatted down to check Xiaoyu's ankle, the latter quickly said: "No, no."
"When my brother was in a coma, the red hijab floated to a coffin without any wind."
"coffin?!"
"Well, it's right over there."
Xiaoyu picked out two torches from the fire, and then led Jiang Wuji to the cliff not far away.
The river water flew down, forming a waterfall falling into darkness.
The little fish threw a torch to the opposite cliff with all his strength.
In the flickering firelight, Jiang Wuji saw the coffin Xiaoyu mentioned.
The coffin is on the rock wall of the opposite cliff. It is a very common coffin. Half of it is embedded in the rock wall and half of it is exposed. There is nothing special about it except that it is a little worn.
"Brother, I looked around everywhere and couldn't find the way to the other side." Xiaoyu said.
Jiang Wuji frowned. Such a long distance was beyond the range of the Five Ghosts Transport Technique. With his current ability, he couldn't jump over this underground chasm.
Xiaoyu said that the red hijab fell on that coffin, so the purpose of the little-footed female corpse was for this coffin?
What's in the coffin?
Just when Jiang Wuji was confused, he suddenly noticed strange patterns on the rock wall opposite. But when he wanted to take a closer look, the torch had been extinguished.
"There seems to be something on the opposite rock wall." Jiang Wuji said.
Jiang Zhiyu: "Huh? I didn't pay attention."
Fortunately, the fire was waterproof, so the two went back to pick up a bunch of tree vines and lit a bonfire again on the edge of the cliff.
At this time, Cao Li also woke up, but he did not have the help of the little-footed female corpse, so his injuries were still serious. He could only sit on the edge of the cliff and watch the two brothers and sisters busy.
When one torch after another was thrown towards the opposite rock wall, the three of them finally saw clearly what was on the cliff.
It was a huge mural. Although I couldn't see it completely, it was not difficult to tell what it was.
"Roe Deer Owl."
Jiang Wuji said two words that neither Cao Li nor Xiaoyu dared to say and couldn't say.
Cao Li, who turned pale, endured the pain and said, "It should be, but it's more terrifying than what we saw before."
Previously, the horse bandit leader turned into a monster. Jiang Wuji originally thought that monster was a roe owl, but judging from the giant creature on the mural opposite, the monster that emerged from the horse bandit leader's body was definitely his younger brother.
The roe owl in the mural has three pairs of strong claws, a single eye under its armpits, and not just one but densely packed grimace on its chest.
Its eyes are under the armpits, it has a human face and a sheep body, tiger teeth and human claws... Why does it feel so familiar?
Jiang Wuji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After a while, he suddenly remembered a ferocious beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Roe Deer Owl is the Taoist Man??
The nickname of the glutton seems to be the roe owl! So the thing is the glutton?
Is this the Taoist Tomb?! What are those severed hands just now???
"Brother?" Xiaoyu quickly called out after noticing that Jiang Wuji's expression was changing.
Jiang Wuji came back to his senses and asked: "Do you know Taotie?"
"Taotie? What is that?" Xiaoyu frowned, this word was very unfamiliar to her.
"Tao... 鬄..." Cao Li said these two words carefully, but the result was that he didn't cough up blood like before.
"I haven't heard of it either, little Daoist, what is Tao Xi? Is it evil?"
Seeing that neither of them knew anything about gluttony, Jiang Wuji casually said a few words and did not continue.
Maybe there really are no gluttons in this world, but there are roe owls that ordinary people cannot describe, which is fundamentally different from the civilization of another world.
At this time, Cao Li suddenly said excitedly: "Little Taoist Master, that mural seems to be a concept!"
Jiang Wuji: "Contemplation method?"
Cao Li nodded vigorously and said: "I heard that some great masters can present the methods of cultivation in paintings. I don't quite understand the secrets, but as long as you visualize these paintings, you can understand the mysterious methods!"
"I just recalled the mural in my mind, and the blood in my body seemed to be nourished and purified!"
After the investigation, Jiang Wuji found that Cao Li's blood was really purer. His grade was still eighth grade, but his blood was thicker and purer than before.
But thinking of the former horse bandit leader, Jiang Wuji's expression became solemn again.
"The mural may really be based on the idea of a roe owl, but after learning this thing, it is very likely that you will be like the horse bandit leader."
"No." Cao Li shook his head.
"How did you know?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Cao Li grinned and said, "I can't tell. You will know after you try it, little Taoist master."
The doubtful Jiang Wuji frowned and sat down cross-legged, then followed Cao Li's instructions and concentrated on recalling the roe deer owl mural he just saw.
Not long after, a mysterious force seemed to be peeled off from the opposite rock wall, and it penetrated from the center of the eyebrows.
Then the original incomplete picture of the roe owl in my mind began to become complete and clearer and clearer.
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Wuji seemed to see a ferocious beast that covered the sky and the sun, but when he tried to see its true appearance clearly, it was all blurry.
In this way, Jiang Wuji fell into wanting to see clearly and not seeing clearly, going back and forth over and over again.
Suddenly, the blood began to become purer little by little, and even the bones changed, becoming tougher and harder!
So far, no discomfort has occurred.
Just when Jiang Wuji thought that this was all the Roe Deer Owl had in mind, a consciousness suddenly appeared without warning.
It's not so much consciousness, but rather a way to see the roe owl clearly.
The way to see the roe owl thoroughly is to make an offering.
Fragrance, tribute, and a heart of pious desire.
Offering incense with a heart of desire, and then taking some specific things from people as tribute, you can thoroughly see the roe deer owl and get the true mystery of this visualization method.
It is absolutely different from the five ghost transportation. The roe owl visualization only tells you what to do, rather than giving you a strong desire. It is not even as influential as the Vaishvah Bell. The visualizer can completely reject and ignore it.
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Wuji found that some minor wounds on Cao Li's body had healed.
After thinking about it, since the corpse of the little-footed woman was also involved, there should be no harm in the idea of the roe owl as long as it is not worshiped.
Although we can't be 100% sure, in this world full of weirdness, it's good to have a certain degree of certainty.
At this time, the girl on the side whispered: "Brother...can I learn?"
Jiang Wuji wanted to refuse, but Xiaoyu seemed to be able to guess his thoughts, so he spoke first: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, I can't let you take care of me in everything, and brother, don't forget
No, the Five Ghost Moving Art has no effect on me."
Jiang Wuji was speechless.
After some thought, Jiang Wuji smiled and said, "Okay, if you encounter any problems, tell me immediately."
"Um!"
The girl clicked her snow-white chin, couldn't wait to sit down next to Jiang Wuji, and began to visualize the roe deer owl.
Looking at Xiaoyu and Cao Li who were meditating seriously, Jiang Wuji showed a wry smile on his face.
"They are so real, how could this world be fake..."
"I have a complete memory here, but I only have a short memory of three years over there. If you want to tell lies, it would be more false over there."
"It's just aunt, how should I face you..."
The side effects of the Five Ghost Transport Technique can be used as a way to return to the other side, but Jiang Wuji doesn't know if he should go back now.
Because he doesn't know what to do after he goes back, and how to face his aunt after he goes back. He doesn't care about other people, he can treat them as his own imagination, but his aunt is so real...
Just when Jiang Wuji felt a headache from this, suddenly a pair of pale hands gently held his neck from behind.
