Chapter 272: Bright Sacrifice

"Knight Order, Mission Items,"

As soon as this thing came into Murong Xiaotian's hands, it displayed the word "Quest Item". Murong Xiaotian guessed that it should be a quest item belonging to the ultimate hidden profession like the Pearl of Life and Knight's Heart that he had obtained.

After putting away the token and waiting for the ghost warriors to dispose of the ashes of the 'loyal knight', Murong Xiaotian and the others went down the mountain.

After returning the blue 'Sealed Pearl' to its place, they set off again, but this time, they no longer relied on turtles and dragons to travel, but walked on their own. The sky was very heavy and dark, and they could not see the stars or stars. When the moon comes, it is inconvenient to sit on the Earth Turtle Dragon. The night is like splashing ink and cannot be seen. No matter how good their eyesight is, it will not help. Murong Xiaotian can only take out the night pearl from the Ring of Chaos to illuminate it.

"Whose subordinates should be here?" Murong Xiaotian asked just after reaching the top of the mountain.

"If nothing else, it should be the 'Light Priest' ranked eighth among the twelve ultimate masters," the ghost warrior replied.

"Yes," Murong Xiaotian nodded. In fact, he was just asking casually. For these twelve masters, except for the first-ranked 'Red-Blooded God of War' and the second-ranked 'Holy Dragon Knight', he was from the Demon Army Master. Except for some understanding from his mouth, the rest is not clear. Even if he asked, it would be in vain. Murong Xiaotian asked so casually, just because he wanted to figure out their professional characteristics from the titles of these people. Like this 'Lighting Sacrifice' ', he should be a super nanny, but this super nanny's ability to kill people is probably as terrifying as his ability to save people.

Because it was too dark, they walked closer and could see everything in front of them clearly under the illumination of the night pearl.

The scene here is very unique, different from the previous one, but it is less desolate and more warm than the previous place; in front of you is a small courtyard that is not very big, and the courtyard wall is surrounded by bamboo fences. , the innermost part is a small bamboo house. From the courtyard door to the entrance of the bamboo house is a stone road less than two meters wide. On both sides of the road, the walls of the entire courtyard, including the bamboo fence, are covered with all kinds of things. The flowers and plants emitted different fragrances, but Murong Xiaotian guessed that these were not flowers and plants, but various herbs, because he had seen some in Cangzhi Grand Canyon and heard Huang Yaoshi said that they were medicinal materials.

What's more, the person in front of me is the 'Light Priest'. His profession is mainly healing, that is, he is a life magician. It is not surprising that he grows some medicinal materials.

It stands to reason that the 'Light Sacrifice' relies on light magic, which originally had little to do with medicinal materials, but since he is the ultimate master, it is not surprising at all to combine magic with medicine.

"Big guy, you stay outside," Murong Xiaotian ordered, and then walked in with the ghost warrior and Ling'er. If the turtle dragon entered the courtyard, this beautiful scenery would not be ruined.

We have seen a lot of weird things along the way. There is nothing surprising about the bamboo houses, courtyards, flowers and plants. To put it bluntly, Murong Xiaotian and the others have become accustomed to all kinds of accidents. .

Walking through the courtyard and walking into the bamboo house, the furnishings inside are much more exquisite than those in the nunnery and small temple that we have entered before. It makes people feel very comfortable. There is a bamboo couch, a square table, several bamboo chairs, and tea cups on the table. Teapots are all available, and there are many decorations hung on the bamboo walls, which all look very unique.

Sitting on the bamboo couch was a girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was very delicate and elegant in her attire. She looked like Miss Qian Jin from a wealthy family in ancient times. Although she had already passed away, she still maintained her beauty. The posture is still very graceful.

"Oh, she looks younger than me, why is she dead?" Ling'er looked at the woman, her eyes wide open.

"Please, she is younger than you, we have to call you grandma," the ghost warrior explained: "She just has good looks, it has nothing to do with her age."

"Hehe, I wish I had this ability," Ling'er smiled and clapped her hands.

"Hey, why are women like this? I'm speechless," the ghost warrior rolled his eyes.

"What do you know? This is called life. Look at this room, how elegant and unique it is. Look at the places we visited before, the monk temple and the stone house. They are all empty inside. Who is a hero? Just do it in the open air. I should say, why are you men like this?" Ling'er was very dissatisfied and immediately got into a fight with the ghost warrior.

"Huh, it's just an empty trick. Look at the teacup on the table. Is there possible water here?" the ghost warrior retorted. If even Ling'er couldn't bear it, then Murong Xiaotian would not be laughed to death.

"You see, your words are ridiculous. She can even keep her appearance unchanged for thousands of years. It doesn't matter if she gets some water. If there is no water, how can those flowers and plants survive?" Unexpectedly, you are defending the woman. When it comes to reputation issues, Ling'er has become so eloquent.

"This..." The ghost warrior was stuck there for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face. This question was really not easy to explain.

"Haha," seeing the defeated look of the ghost warrior, Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, ghost brother, just admit defeat and stop fighting. Since this woman is sent here by the 'Light Priest' The person who guards the 'Sealed Pearl' must be at least an eighth-level priest. The 'Light Priest' is a symbol of the continuation of life. The existence of things with life characteristics is not surprising to her."

"There's no need to say it so bluntly," the ghost warrior said with a depressed look on his face.

"Hehe," Ling'er pursed her lips and laughed fiercely.

"Okay, Brother Ghost, you go to the yard and dig a hole first. I'll ask Ling'er to take this woman out and bury her later." Murong Xiaotian quickly found a step for the Ghost Warrior to get down.

In fact, when the Ghost Warrior and Ling'er were arguing, Murong Xiaotian had already carefully observed the place. According to his inference, the only possibility for the sixth green 'Seal Pearl' was in this bamboo house. , of course, this is also Murong Xiaotian's inference, but his inference is not unfounded.

Judging from the furnishings and decorations in the yard and the house, the woman in front of her was a relatively careful and patient woman, and her expression when she died was very calm and peaceful.

For such a woman with such a mentality, this person would definitely not hide the 'Sealed Pearl' casually. She must have put a lot of thought into it.

Well, let’s analyze it from far to near. The possibility outside the courtyard is almost zero. The bright lights are all stones. It’s not that easy to hide. Burying it underground is what rough people do. Such a meticulous woman would not use such stupid methods.

Next, there is the courtyard. As a life priest whose job is to extend life, she is reluctant to waste the medicinal materials in this courtyard. In fact, she also knows that people who are looking for beads will definitely rummage through the rooms in this courtyard. But when she made her choice, she would definitely tell herself that if she hid the bead in the yard, others would destroy the medicinal materials when they looked for it and would not pay attention to it. Only she knew where the bead was hidden. There is a problem that others don’t know, and this is the mentality.

Then, what was left was inside the house, so Murong Xiaotian focused on the inside.

But this woman is sitting on the couch, which is really inconvenient for the search. If she accidentally touches her, her clothes will be reduced to ashes. Wouldn't it be like turning into a naked woman? Murong Xiaotian doesn't want to Let such an embarrassing thing happen again, especially when this woman is sitting face to face. Once her clothes are gone, everything is exposed to the public.

The monk in front and the subordinates of the 'Crazy War Lord' outside the stone house, Murong Xiaotian, were all dealt with by the ghost warriors after Ling'er had left far away, but this time, Ling'er could only bury them. , burying this person under the medicinal herbs she grew herself was considered a favor to her.

Ling'er didn't express any dissatisfaction. It was really not appropriate for this woman to be carried away and buried by the ghost warriors. Although she was a dead person, she should at least maintain the respect she deserved.

"Thief boss, the digging is done," soon the ghost warrior flashed in.

"Ling'er, please take her out and bury her," Murong Xiaotian walked to the side and turned his body towards the wall. The ghost warriors also stayed away like him; although they did not dare to say that they were gentlemen, But it's not like desecrating a woman's body, especially if it's a dead person.

"Oh, Brother Tian, ​​it's so strange, the clothes on her body are not damaged at all," Ling'er's voice made Murong Xiaotian and the ghost warrior immediately turn their heads.

"The light power of this 'Light Sacrifice' is so powerful that it has not decayed even after hundreds of years," the ghost warrior praised repeatedly.

"Ling'er, search her body and see if the 'Seal Pearl' is on her body," Murong Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.

"Yes," Ling'er nodded, put the woman he had picked up back on the bed, and began to search. Murong Xiaotian and the ghost warrior also began their search.

When the ghost warriors went out to dig holes just now, Murong Xiaotian and Ling'er were just observing and taking action. Now when they took action, they discovered that these bamboo tables, bamboo chairs, etc., even if they were made when this woman died, they would not be the same. It must have been at least hundreds of years, but there was no trace of decay. In short, everything in the entire bamboo house was intact, which made Murong Xiaotian and the others secretly amazed.

"Brother Tian, ​​I searched you and found nothing," at this time, Ling'er raised her head and said.

"Then you should take her out and bury her first," Murong Xiaotian replied. Anyway, the hole has been dug and buried, and it would still be a hindrance if she was placed in this room.

"Okay," Ling'er agreed briskly, hugging the woman and running out of the house.
