"Of course, I will tell you a secret. As long as you spare my life, I will tell you!" Liu Li suddenly changed her tone and said to Zhang Chen.
"Oh? What secret?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
Liu Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, this is important news!"
Zhang Chen thought for a while and said: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you don't lie, I promise to let you leave safely. If you lie to me, I guarantee that you will die miserably!"
Zhang Chen's tone was extremely cold, which made Liu Li's heart skip a beat, but Liu Li soon returned to normal. She said, "I know you are an immortal cultivator, so you don't have to worry about me lying to you, because I don't
I may have deceived you, but I just ask you to spare my life."
Zhang Chen nodded: "Okay, I believe you for now. Now tell me how you discovered these people."
Liu Li said: "Do you know there is an ancient tomb near here?"
"I know, that tomb is the Qinling Ancient Tomb!" Zhang Chen said.
"Yes, that ancient tomb is a real ancient tomb. It took our boss a long time to explore this place. After they sneaked in in the middle of the night, they found that there were many corpses of monks buried in that ancient tomb.
The monks with the lowest cultivation level have all reached the Qi Refining stage. They transported these corpses and buried them at the foot of the mountain. We are responsible for guarding these corpses!" Liu Li said.
"Oh? Then how did you discover me just now?" Zhang Chen asked.
"That's because our boss left a mark here. You stepped on the mark just now, and I followed the clues and found you!"
Zhang Chen nodded, so that’s it.
At this time, Zhang Chen squatted down and checked the weapons on these monks, and found that except for a few guns, they had nothing on them. Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "How do you make a living? You don't even have a gun on you.
No bullets? You are not here to rob me, are you?"
"You fart, do you think we would do such an immoral thing?" The female monk looked at Zhang Chen coldly.
"Oh? If you say that, then I really don't understand. What are your identities?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Humph!" The female monk snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Chen. At this time, Zhang Chen suddenly reached out and pinched Liu Li's neck. His strength was very strong. Liu Li struggled for a few times and then completely lost her breath. Zhang Chen sighed and said: "Since you are a gang of thieves, why don't you know how to equip yourself?"
Zhang Chen took out a set of clothes from the Qiankun bag and put it on the female monk. Then he put on a mask. Finally, Zhang Chen used spiritual power to seal the meridians and Dantian of the female monk, allowing the female monk to temporarily
Became a waste.
Zhang Chen carried the female monk on his shoulders and walked away.
Zhang Chen did not return directly to the small village, but chose to continue wandering in the woods. He decided to first find out what this so-called Black Wind Bandit was.
Along the way, Zhang Chen met many monks from the Black Wind Pirates, but they were all monks in the foundation building stage or early stage of the Yuan Condensing Realm. Only the leader was in the Qi Gathering Realm.
"These guys are so brave. They dare to catch up. I think they despise me for living too long!" Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
He was thinking as he walked deeper into the valley. The further inside, the more Zhang Chen felt something was wrong. He quickened his pace and quickly walked deeper into the valley. He vaguely noticed that someone was following him!
"Hey, brother, why are you running?" A rough voice came, and then a group of men in black stopped in front of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen looked up and saw that there were seven of these men in black, and each of them carried a
He holds a bow and arrow, and holds a gunpowder gun in his hand. These gunpowder guns are so powerful that even ordinary Qi-training monks cannot resist them!
The leading man in black looked about forty years old, with a ferocious smile on his face. He said: "Boy, who are you? Why are you here?"
Zhang Chen glanced at the man in black lightly, and then said: "This sentence seems to be me asking you, what are you doing here so late?"
"Hey, we are the Black Wind Bandits, and we are here to rob the treasure in that ancient tomb." The man in black said.
"Then why didn't you attack that ancient tomb?" Zhang Chen asked.
The man in black said: "The defense of that ancient tomb is extremely tight and cannot be approached at all, but our boss said that there must be a lot of precious materials in that ancient tomb. If we can take those materials, we will definitely make money.
A big deal!"
Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. These Black Wind Thieves were smart enough to know that the ancient tomb was a big piece of fat and could not be dug at their will, so they thought of a sneak attack.
However, Zhang Chen is not afraid. Although his cultivation level has been suppressed by about 50%, it is still more than enough to deal with these monks.
"I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, none of you will be able to escape!" Zhang Chen stared coldly at these men in black, and at the same time released a strong murderous intention.
The men in black suddenly felt a sense of terror. The boy's eyes were so terrifying, as if a demon had descended!
The men in black looked at each other, then turned around and ran away, disappearing from Zhang Chen's sight in the blink of an eye.
Watching the men in black leave, Zhang Chen withdrew his gaze. He dragged Liu Li to a tree and tied her up with a rope.
After doing all this, Zhang Chen continued walking towards the inside of the valley...
At this moment, deep in the valley, in a spacious cave.
There are hundreds of coffins in the cave. These coffins are all empty and contain nothing. It is obvious that there were once full of people lying here.
"Boss, we have been searching this cave for two days and two nights. We have found nothing. I wonder if they have escaped?" A strong man stood next to a short monk and asked respectfully. p>
"It's impossible. If those people have really escaped, then we will definitely find that person today!" said the short friar.
This short male monk is called Hu Yong, and he is the leader of the Black Wind Bandits, and the few monks next to him are his cronies.
"But we have searched the surrounding area and still found no trace of that person." Another monk said with some frustration.
Hu Yong's frown deepened, he gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that those people have already escaped?"
"Boss, what should we do now?" the strong man asked.
"What else can we do? Keep searching. No matter what, we must catch those people!" Hu Yong said in a deep voice.
At this time, another thin male monk suddenly asked: "Boss, I heard that a cultivating sect recently recruited new members, and those monks also came here for this matter. Do you think we can unite with them? After all,
The Immortal Cultivation Sect is not like ordinary people. If we form an alliance with the Immortal Cultivation Sect, our strength will definitely increase a lot."
"Well, that's a good idea!" Hu Yong nodded.
Hu Yong and others discussed for a while, and then Hu Yong led his team to leave the mountain. They rode horses and ran for dozens of kilometers before stopping. They came to a hidden grove.<
/p>
The grove was very close to the valley. Hu Yong and the others sat on the ground to rest. They lit a bonfire and began to barbecue and drink.
"Boss, I heard that the cultivating sect this time is very powerful. It is said that they can control the wind and rain, and even move mountains and reclaim seas!" A monk said excitedly while chewing a pig leg.
Hu Yong nodded and said: "Yes, I heard my father say that the conditions for recruiting disciples of the Xiuxian Sect this time are extremely high, and ordinary people in the secular world cannot enter at all!"
"Then can we join the cultivating sect?" A monk next to him asked excitedly.
Hu Yong laughed loudly and said: "Of course! As long as you are willing, I will be happy to work as a horse for us!"
The monk said with ecstasy: "Okay, boss!"
"But we have to find a place to stay first. If we want to hide, the government officials will definitely send people to wait and see. We have to set up traps in advance." Hu Yong said.
"We can go to the town!" said a monk.
"Town?" Hu Yong sneered and said, "Don't forget that we are bandits!"
Everyone nodded.
"Boss, let's try to avoid going to towns. The cultivation resources in that city are very rich. If those people discover our actions, they will definitely not give up!" Another monk suggested.
"Well, let's take a rest first and start again tomorrow morning!" Hu Yong said.
……
Early the next morning, Zhang Chen woke up from his sleep. He found that the sky was dim and bright, so he immediately turned over and got up.
Zhang Chen took out the map and checked it carefully. Then he chose a small town in the south. The small town was not far from Guwu Village, and there were no monsters nearby. He planned to rest there temporarily and explore the ancient tomb.
.
There are many villagers near Guwu Village, so Zhang Chen plans to lurk directly into the village to gather information.
Zhang Chen sneaked into Guwu Village quietly, and then he wandered around the village for a long time. After confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Chen came to the square in the center of Guwu Village. The huge stone tablet was what he found last night. p>
"Strange, why is this stone tablet a little weird?" Zhang Chen touched the stone tablet, then sat cross-legged next to the stone tablet.
Zhang Chen's spiritual sense passed through the stone tablet and discovered that the three words "Ancient Sword Sect" were written on the stone tablet.
There are two caves behind the stone monument. There are many coffins placed in the caves. The lids of those coffins have all been lifted, and a strong smell of corpses floats in the air.
Zhang Chen closed his eyes and quietly felt the situation inside the stone tablet.
After a while, Zhang Chen opened his eyes and murmured to himself: "It turns out that there are so many resentful souls sealed in this stone tablet. These resentful souls seem to be struggling. I don't know why they died in the stone tablet."
After Zhang Chen observed it for a long time, he finally figured out the secret inside the stone tablet.
It turns out that the stele is a special kind of rune, and each rune represents a different kind of exercise or magic. What is sealed in the two caves behind the stele is a relatively low-level exercise or magic.
Zhang Chen sighed secretly, it seems that if you want to learn the exercises and spells on this stone tablet, you still need some means.
Now that he understood the function of these stone tablets, Zhang Chen decided to use the resentful souls in the stone tablets to practice "Ghost Slaying".
"Let me try and see if I can draw out those resentful souls?" Zhang Chen thought for a while and felt that this should be effective.
Zhang Chen used the vitality in his body to inject spiritual energy into the stone tablet. The runes in the stone tablet instantly flashed red, and a sinister and evil aura burst out.
Zhang Chen quickly retreated, and the stone monument suddenly turned pitch black. Immediately afterwards, the stone pillars suddenly rose into the sky, and then flew towards Zhang Chen.
Bang bang bang!
These stone pillars hit the ground hard, causing the earth to tremble.
Zhang Chen was startled. He quickly used "Ghost Slash" and then quickly dodge to dodge these attacks. After dodging these attacks, he quickly activated his spiritual energy again and used his spiritual energy to condense into a giant sword and slashed at it.
The stone pillar was chopped down hard!
Boom!
Those stone pillars hit the giant sword and turned into pieces of broken stone falling to the ground.
"I'll go!" Zhang Chen looked at his Ghost Slash in surprise. Although he had never seen the real power of Ghost Slash, he knew that the power of Ghost Slash was definitely not small.
"The power of Ghost Slayer is indeed terrifying!" Zhang Chen was secretly happy.
"Huh? That's..." Zhang Chen was delighted for a while, and suddenly realized that Ghost Slayer had not cut off all the stone pillars!
Only two stone pillars were cut off!
Zhang Chen was secretly happy, the power of Ghost Slayer should not be underestimated.
He then wielded the Ghost Slash and slashed seven or eight times at the remaining stone pillars, eventually cutting off all the remaining stone pillars. The stone tablet finally returned to calm, but Zhang Chen discovered that there was a gap in the stone tablet.
There was vague blood spilling out.
"It seems that my strength is not enough to destroy this ancient stone tablet!" Zhang Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He quickly walked up to check the gap in the stone tablet.
The gap in the stone stele was very large, three to four meters wide. After Zhang Chen penetrated his spiritual thoughts, he found that there was a deep darkness under the stone stele, with a faint trace of black mist lingering inside.
This black mist is full of the smell of decay and death. Zhang Chen knows that this black mist should be the yin energy condensed by the resentful souls in the stone pillars. However, it seems that these grievances cannot be preserved for a long time. Once they encounter yang energy, they will dissipate.
, but even after these grievances dissipate, they will cause certain damage, so Zhang Chen has to find a way to completely kill these grievances, otherwise they will continue to destroy this ancient martial arts village sooner or later.
However, how to kill these grievances has become a problem, because he currently has no way, unless he can find a professional person, and then use the formation flag to seal these grievances in one place, so that Zhang Chen can easily solve this trouble
.
"Forget it, let's think about these things later. Anyway, I have absorbed all the resentment here." Zhang Chen shook his head, then walked into Guwu Village and started searching everywhere.
He was looking for something and thinking.
The terrain of this Guwu Village is very complex. It took Zhang Chen almost half an hour to search around the entire Guwu Village, and then returned to the outside of Guwu Village.
