Knocking sounds accompanied by weak calls kept coming from the front.
Zhang Xiaozu ran hurriedly following the sound, entered a subtle state of mind to find a way, followed the footprints left by Taoist Tianwu on the ground, and finally saw the source of the sound in a side room at the end.
As soon as he confirmed the source of the sound, he was shocked because the sound actually came from a sarcophagus in the room.
This sarcophagus is nearly four feet long and two feet high. The lid of the coffin is tightly closed, but there are obvious signs that it has been opened.
The knocking and calls for help coming from the sarcophagus, as well as the footsteps of Taoist Tianwu on the ground disappearing near the sarcophagus, all indicate that Taoist Tianwu is trapped in the sarcophagus.
Seeing the length of the sarcophagus, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, because the longer the sarcophagus, the taller the ancient corpse lying in the sarcophagus. The taller the ancient corpse, the stronger its combat power. It is not difficult to infer from the battle that just happened in the sky.
, this ancient corpse, which was more than three feet tall and almost four feet tall, was definitely not something he could handle.
But Taoist Tianwu was in danger, and his life was very likely to be in danger. Zhang Xiaopou had no time to hesitate. He rushed into the door and shouted: "Master, I'm here!"
Without stopping for a moment, he stepped closer to the sarcophagus, handed the bone knife to his left hand, gathered the power of the three colors in his right fist, penetrated the whole body in a cold pool dance, and struck the sarcophagus with one punch.
He didn't dare to chop it with a knife, for fear of accidentally hurting the Tianwu Taoist in the sarcophagus.
boom!
The thick and hard sarcophagus could not withstand the force of Zhang Xiaozu's punch and burst into pieces. The coffin panels collapsed everywhere.
The figures of the ancient corpse and Tianwu Taoist suddenly appeared in Zhang Xiaozu's field of vision.
I saw an ancient black corpse more than three feet tall, holding Taoist Tianwu tightly in his arms with his arms folded. Black beetles had already wrapped three layers of black beetles inside and outside Taoist Tianwu's body, and they were all inside.
They tried their best to get in, as if they were competing to eat the flesh and blood of Taoist Tianwu.
There were many corpses of black beetles piled on the ground. It was obvious that Taoist Tianwu had been fighting with them in the sarcophagus for a long time, but he seemed to have lost the battle.
Zhang Xiaopou smelled the smell of blood and thought of Wen Buwu's miserable fate. His scalp was numb with fear for a moment, and he hurriedly used the power of ghost eyes to strike Taoist Tianwu with his secret formula.
The power of the ghost eyes once again revealed its huge destructive power against evil things. As soon as the talisman fell, countless black beetles were killed and injured. The other black beetles that were not attacked seemed to have encountered natural enemies. In an instant, they receded like a tide.
Even the ancient corpse retracted its arms tightly around Taoist Tianwu in fear.
Zhang Xiaozu had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed Taoist Tianwu's shoulders and jumped back, escaping from the ancient corpse.
The body of Taoist Tianwu has been eaten by black beetles until it is bloody and bloody, leaving only a weak Taoist power.
As it circulates on his body, if Zhang Xiaopou had arrived a little longer, he would have been exhausted by the black beetle and end up with the same miserable end as Wen Buwu.
"Run quickly!" Tianwu Taoist said in an urgent voice.
There was no need for Taoist Tianwu to remind him, Zhang Xiaozu was already running away.
He is not naive enough to think that he can kill this three-foot-tall ancient corpse with the power of ghost eyes. The little power of ghost eyes he has stored may not be enough to tickle the ancient corpse, unless he can open the ghost eyes.
.But opening the ghost pupil requires a lot of energy, and he didn't even have half of the elixir in the mustard seeds, so there was no way to open the ghost pupil.
"Master, how are you?" Zhang Xiaozu put Master Tianwu on his back and asked anxiously while running.
"Fortunately, I can't die." Taoist Tianwu responded, "Give me some of your Tao power."
Zhang Xiaozu followed the instructions and hurriedly transferred his Taoist power to Taoist Tianwu.
With the help of Zhang Xiaozu's Taoist power, Tianwu Daoist reached out and grabbed the void, grabbed a spiritual fruit, threw it into his mouth and ate it, and told Zhang Xiaozu that it was enough and there was no need to give him any more Taoist power.
In the sarcophagus, his upper body and arms were tightly bound by the ancient corpse. There was no way to replenish energy with spirit fruits. In the end, he even lost the power to open the void space.
If his ears hadn't been tingling and he could faintly hear the sound of breaking through the wall, he guessed that Zhang Xiaozu was most likely looking for him, so he hurriedly kicked the coffin and called for help, successfully summoning Zhang Xiaozu's rescue, otherwise he would have been a corpse by now.
Meal in the belly of a beetle.
I feel scared just thinking about it.
After taking the spirit fruit, Taoist Tianwu's strength quickly recovered, and the flesh that had been chewed by the corpse beetles also began to heal quickly.
Zhang Xiaozu nervously paid attention to the situation behind him and found that the ancient corpse did not catch up. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is it dark?" Tianwu Taoist asked with a frown.
"Senior Wen found a sword——" Zhang Xiaozu immediately told Taoist Tianwu what happened.
Hearing that Wen Buwu was eaten into white bones by corpse beetles, Taoist Tianwu couldn't help but lamented for him, and said with emotion: "I have been cultivating over and over again, but in the end I still can't escape the word 'greed'! I, it's also because
I almost died in a sarcophagus due to my greed!"
"Master, is there any incredible treasure in that sarcophagus?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked curiously after hearing this.
"What a fart!" Taoist Tianwu glared and cursed, "I heard a sound in the distance, followed the sound and found a stone coffin. I thought there was something good in it, but I didn't know there was a corpse controlled by a corpse beetle hidden in it.
The ancient corpse had just opened the lid of the coffin by more than a foot. Before I could see clearly what was inside, the ancient corpse hugged it in, and was immediately held to death in its arms.
The internal injuries I suffered from the battle with the red-haired ancient corpse have not yet healed, and the ancient corpse in the sarcophagus is really powerful.
No matter how hard I struggled in his arms, I couldn't break free. If I hadn't possessed Tao power and could restrain the corpse beetles, I could have persisted for so long. Otherwise, I would have ended up like Old Man Wen."
"Master is auspicious and auspicious. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
Crash--
The blood rain outside continued to pour down like a pouring water.
Zhang Xiaozu was worried about the safety of Taoist Qinglian and the great monk. After obtaining Taoist Tianwu's consent, he carried him out of the stone house in the main hall and ran towards the direction where Taoist Qinglian fell according to his memory.
At the moment, there are dangers everywhere, and it is so dark that everyone has lost their vision. Only he, with the help of his subtle state of mind, has extremely good vision and can detect the approaching danger in advance, so he wants to gather everyone quickly and find a way to get out of here.
.
"This is dirty blood!" As soon as the blood rain fell on his body, Taoist Tianwu couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What is dirty blood?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked in confusion.
"Dirty blood is also called dirty blood. It is the blood that flows in the body when a person is dominated by negative emotions, or is dominated by dark and dirty thoughts, or commits betrayal, breach of trust, unfilial piety and other unfaithful things.
Blood." Taoist Tianwu explained, "Corresponding to dirty blood is red blood, which means Chicheng, Chizhen, Chichun, Chishan, Chimei, etc."
Finally, he said with a solemn look: "With such a large amount of dirty blood gathering here, a demon must appear!"
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly lowered his voice and exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Taoist Tianwu asked with a frown, knowing that Zhang Xiaozu must have seen something strange.
"The ancient corpses controlled by corpse beetles all came out of the sarcophagus and ran into the street. They seemed to be bathing in dirty blood." Zhang Xiaozu told Taoist Tianwu what he saw.
"Filthy blood is the favorite thing of corpse beetles. Bathed in dirty blood, they can better stimulate the combat power of the ancient corpse, so that the combat power of the ancient corpse increases, and it may even reach 80% of its combat power during life." Tianwu Taoist said,
"We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise we will die without any chance of survival."
Zhang Xiaozu stayed far away from the ancient corpses bathing in filthy blood. He didn't bother to count how many ancient corpses there were because they were all over the street.
"You can pay a little attention." Taoist Tianwu said, "Extreme good will give birth to extreme evil, and extreme evil will give birth to extreme good. Such a vast sea of filthy blood will definitely give birth to a drop, or even a few drops of holy blood. This blood
It can purify the mind of cultivators and is of great benefit to cultivation, even saints covet it."
Hearing what Master Tianwu said, Zhang Xiaopou immediately became energetic and asked hurriedly: "What are the characteristics of this holy blood?"
"It is recorded in the book that sometimes it is as white as snow, and sometimes as red as the sun." Tianwu Taoist replied that he only read about it in the book and had never seen the holy blood.
"Blood that is sometimes white and sometimes red?" Zhang Xiaozhu was surprised.
