How can one become an immortal if he is so lazy? Chapter 217 The victim always quickly figures out the death message within a few seconds of being killed to help the detective solve the case
Chapter 217 The victim always quickly figures out the death message within a few seconds of being killed to help the detective solve the case
At this time, the Yaowang Sect looked dilapidated, empty, silent and lifeless, and even looked a little deserted, as if no one had lived there for decades.
In fact, the Yaowang Sect suffered a disaster just a few months ago.
This is caused by the strong aura of the Traveling World, like vines and weeds that will grow wildly if left unattended for a period of time.
Climb up to the roof, squeeze through the brick walls, and quickly erase the traces of human beings...
And on the ruins, a man, a woman and an old ghost were walking (floating) together.
Hong Butian and the Great Elder walked in front, followed behind by Zhao Zhuji who looked wary, following step by step.
"Go forward and turn right..."
The great elder turned to look at Hong Butian, pointed to one place, and commanded.
"Boy, go and move the stone there, then take six steps to the right and put the stone down!"
"If you know it, you will be able to order people."
Hong Butian sighed and followed the steps mentioned by the great elder and moved the stone to its position.
"..."
Nothing happened.
Hong Butian: "?"
Zhao Zhuji: "?"
"..."
The great elder's face turned dark. Either he had been away for too long and the sect's arrangements had changed, or the sect's institutions were also damaged in the crisis...
Taking a deep breath, the elder pointed to a broken old tree, his eyes moved between Zhao Zhuji and Hong Buyian a few times, and finally looked at Zhao Zhuji, who was in the foundation building stage, and said: "Go and break that broken tree."
Pull out the whole tree!"
"Huh?"
Zhao Zhuji glanced at the Great Elder warily, and the latter gave her a stern look: "Don't worry, it's not a trap. Don't you don't believe in our identities? Now I'll give you a chance to verify it."
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Zhuji nodded, but still did not relax his vigilance. He even took a few steps back to a distance that he thought was safer, and drew out his long sword.
"Broken!"
With a slight shout, in Hong Butian's shocked eyes, there seemed to be countless invisible sword lights intertwined and spreading, as if any one of them could easily take his life...
Is it true that the gap between monks is so big?
Hong Buyian was secretly frightened, but also a little longing and yearning, and his obsession with practice became a little firmer.
"Wow!"
Countless debris flew with the smoke and dust, and the earth and wood exploded into pieces, revealing a dark hole below.
"Huh?!"
Zhao Zhuji was surprised: "Is this... a secret passage?"
"Almost all the buildings on the surface have been destroyed, but I guess this secret passage is still there, and now it seems that it is indeed the case..."
The great elder looked at Zhao Zhuji: "How is it? Now do you believe that I am the new great elder of Yaowang Sect?"
"It depends on what's inside..."
Zhao Zhuji hesitated for a moment, took out a lighting spirit stone, injected spiritual energy into it to emit light, and handed it to Hong Butian who was standing aside: "You should walk in front, and I'll follow behind. Don't play any tricks!"
"Yes yes yes."
Hong Butian glanced at the lighting spirit stone in his hand with some curiosity, shook his head helplessly, walked towards the entrance of the cave, and after illuminating the bottom, he found that there were still steps to go down.
However, the road ahead is very narrow and can only accommodate one person passing through at a time.
"Let me be at the front."
The great elder glanced at Hong Butian: "I'll spare you the trouble of saying that this elder is not loyal enough."
"Ah this..."
Hong Butian took a step back and stretched out his hand: "As you wish."
"Humph."
With a slight snort, the great elder walked at the front, followed by Hong Buyian, and then Zhao Zhuji.
"There is just a small space at the end, densely packed with information recorded by generations of sect leaders..."
Seeing that there were no traces of blood or fighting on both sides of the passage and on the road, the great elder showed a helpless expression.
"Sure enough, those guys failed to discover this secret passage..."
After a pause, the great elder sighed and said: "If this secret passage can be designed to be larger, maybe many sect disciples can hide here.
However, materials that can shield the perception of monks at the highest Nascent Soul stage are very rare, so only such a small space can be built.
But then again, even so, there shouldn’t be no trace of people here, and there is no problem hiding a dozen or so people, unless..."
"Unless what?"*2
Zhao Zhuji and Hong Butian said in unison. They were stunned for a moment, but didn't say much.
"Unless the sect was captured before they could react, or the situation was urgent..."
The great elder shook his head and said no more. Regarding this kind of thing, just mention a few words. He was not at the scene and did not know the specific situation.
Moreover, saying this always makes him feel a little uncomfortable: "It has been hundreds of years, and the Yaowang Sect has not suffered such a heavy blow..."
"Senior, don't be too sad. After all, what happened cannot be changed..."
Zhao Zhuji suddenly spoke and softly comforted the elder. According to her observations, the soul in front of her should be the elder of the Medicine King Sect as the other party said...
Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility that the other party will tell lies...
But she still chooses to believe the other party for the time being.
In fact, there was one more thing that dispelled her doubts, and that was Hong Butian's cultivation level. He was at the first level of a Qi refining stage. He seemed to be just a newbie who had just entered Taoism, and it didn't seem like he could be related to the Yaowang Sect incident.
.
Thinking of this, she decided to confess some not-so-secret information.
"There are also some Yaowang Sect disciples who escaped to our Wujie Sword Sect area and were rescued by us.
According to what they said, they were still practicing as usual at that time, but suddenly countless demons and monsters emerged from the sect, and various beasts that became spirits broke in, catching them off guard.
For some unknown reason, the sect's formation failed to be triggered, and they attacked them. Before everyone had time to react, they were beaten back steadily and suffered heavy losses.
In the end, the sect leader and the elders decisively chose to abandon the sect and led them out together. However, because there were several very powerful monsters that kept chasing them, they became separated from the sect leader and elders...
My mentor is one of the people in charge of investigating this incident. He went to trace the traces of other members of the Yaowang Sect, and asked me to come to the already empty Yaowang Sect to see if I can find anything..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuji shook his head and sighed: "Anyway, there are still some disciples here. As long as they are here, there will always be hope of reviving the Yaowang Sect, right?"
"Well, thank you for telling me this..."
The great elder nodded slightly and did not mention this topic any more, because they had already reached the end of the passage.
As the Great Elder said, the space here is very small, and at the end is a secret room with a door half closed. I carefully opened the door and walked in, and saw that each of the bookcases was filled with books.
"This is the place where the sect masters of the past generations record important events of the sect. Although the elders are also insiders, under normal circumstances, only the sect masters are allowed to enter here..."
The Great Elder said: "In a certain year and a certain month, someone developed a new drug, tried something, and what happened after that...
In a certain month of a certain year, for some reason, a certain disciple did something big that alarmed the sect...
Or what happened in the spiritual world at that time is selectively recorded here."
After a pause, the great elder turned around and looked at the two of them: "If you want to know what happened in the months before the sect was destroyed, this place is the first place I think of."
"The original purpose of this place was just to worry that some prescription would be lost, so I also recorded the derivation steps so that I could find it again..."
The Great Elder sighed: "I didn't expect that it would be used here because of the investigation of the Miemen..."
"By the way, this should be the latest, or the last record, right?"
Hong Butian walked to a desk, looked at the unclosed books above, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the sect leader is leaving in a hurry, let me take a look..."
"Don't move!"
Zhao Zhuji suddenly shouted, startling Hong Butian, and his outstretched hand froze in the air: "Huh?"
"Let me come. I'm not at ease with your words!"
After glancing at Hong Butian, Zhao Zhuji walked to the desk, squeezed the former away, and turned the book to the first page, her eyes shining brightly.
"Let me see what is recorded here..."
"You're showing your back to me now?"
Hong Butian looked at Zhao Zhuji in front of him speechlessly, gesturing with his hands in front of his eyes, and complained: "Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly stab you in the back?"
"You're a little rookie, so let's talk about it if you can break my defense!"
Zhao Zhuji showed disdain.
Hong Butian: "..."
[This is the third record of my successor as the sect leader. There are not many big things that have happened in recent years, but there are some trivial things that I feel I have to remember...]
Turn the page.
[In May of the 569th year of the Shuili era, the great elder suddenly disappeared. He said he was going to visit a friend, but he never returned, causing an uproar in the sect.
After a vigorous search to no avail, we reluctantly accepted the appointment of the new elder and shelved the matter.]
Zhao Zhuji couldn't help but glance at the great elder, and the wariness in her heart almost disappeared. This way, she could get along with him.
It's just that what she wants is the latest information.
Turned through several pages.
[In August of the 574th year of the Shuili era, the outer sect disciple Huang Dou was in a hurry and went crazy, losing all his cultivation. The sect remembered his old friendship and arranged for him to be a registered disciple and enjoy the care of the sect.
But he was unwilling to do so, used evil methods, defected from the sect, and was wanted...】
Turn the page again.
[In February 575 of the Water Era, the Great Elder (newly appointed) searched for an ancient recipe. According to research, he found that it was more efficient and less expensive than the Qi refining method used by new disciples today. The whole sect attached great importance to it...
】
Turn the page.
[In December of the 575th year of the Shuili era, after many tests, the safety of this recipe was determined, and an attempt was made to popularize it on a small scale. This was another progress of the sect, recorded...]
Turn the page again
[In March of the 576th year of the Shuili era, almost all sects have popularized the new Qi forging method. I believe that within a few years, we will see a new look in the sect, which is gratifying...]
Turn the page.
[In June of the 576th year of the Shuili era, it was discovered that after the new method of forging Qi, there will be a special medicinal fragrance that lasts for a long time, and will attract birds, squirrels and other small animals...
Now even the disciples who have just started are like immortals, with graceful temperament, different from ordinary people, thinking it is auspicious and happy...]
[In August of the 576th year of the Shuili era, the new law passed the test again and again, and finally made the whole sect feel relieved.
If it has any shortcomings, it’s probably that it attracts mosquitoes easily, hahaha, it’s just a joke...]
[In September of the 576th year of the Shuili era, the number of wild beasts wandering outside the sect was much greater than before. It was probably time to store food for the winter. I was vigilant, but I had not taken any action yet...]
[In October of the 576th year of the Shuili era, there were a lot of wild beasts. These beasts even began to look at them and wanted to attack our disciples who went out to collect medicine and drive them away!]
[In November of the 576th year of the Water Era, there seemed to be some climatic spirits among the beasts. Clean them up!]
[In December of the 576th year of the Shuili era, a heavy snowfall in winter was very spectacular and touching. The defector Huang Dou was captured. It seems that it was a young man from Wuse City?
Well, to be able to do such a thing at such a young age, a hero comes from a young age, haha, this is the reward!]
Turn the page.
[In January of the 577th year of the Shuili era, auspicious snow heralded a good harvest. In the new year, the spirit and energy of the disciples were indeed renewed.
In recent years, the Five Elements Sect, which has not recruited new disciples, sent out airships to recruit new students. It seems that they want to replenish the sect with fresh blood.
Very reassuring "neighbors", they are both sects in the southwest of the Traveling World. Although some things happened to the two sect leaders that no one expected, the two sects should continue to maintain friendship...
Well, I should send some greetings to represent my attitude and record it...]
Turn the page.
[In March of the 577th year of the Shuili era, those wild beasts came out to look for food again, and moved closer to the Yaowang Valley. They were probably attracted by the rich spiritual energy here. Ha, I want to see how bold they are, and disdain them...
…】
[In April of the 577th year of the Shuili era, what is the so-called fullness and warmth? Recently, not only the beasts have been crying and howling in the forest valley, but also some male and female disciples of the sect have begun to flirt with each other...]
[In May of the 577th year of the Water Era, there is always something wrong with the eyes of those beasts recently, and they cannot be driven away, which makes people feel wary.]
[In June of the 577th year of the Water Era, not only were the beasts in the Qi Refining Stage discovered among the beasts, but there were also three or two in the Foundation Building Stage. No matter how good the environment of Medicine King Valley was, these monster beasts with certain wisdom would not take risks.
Shocking!】
[In June of the 577th year of the Shuili era, the sect held a general meeting and decided to conduct a relatively thorough purge to prevent those beasts from having any inappropriate thoughts, and at the same time, it could also temper the disciples...]
[In July 577 of the Water Era, the cleanup plan did not go as smoothly as expected. Those beasts were a bit fierce and killed the disciples of the sect. It was suspected that they were commanded by high-level monsters. There were 57 injuries and 3 casualties among the disciples. The elders decided
The end will be suppression!】
[In August 577 of Shuiliji, when he was still the Great Elder, he put forward a hypothesis that those wild beasts might have been attracted by the scent of the medicine created by the new method. Check it out...]
[In September of the 577th year of the Shuili era, a Jindan realm demon king appeared outside the sect. This was an out-of-bounds behavior. Warnings were ineffective. The sect’s formation was activated to kill two Jindan demon kings to scare them away!] p>
[October 577, Shuiliji. Nothing has happened in recent days. It seems that those beasts know how to be afraid. They should have been beaten hard long ago!]
【October 577, Shuiliji, I decided...
Huh? Why is it a little noisy outside...]
Stopped abruptly.
Hong Butian suddenly realized: "I understand, it's the so-called new method.
Sure enough, as you said, Great Elder, every new prescription requires trial and error again and again, otherwise it will..."
"Huh?"
Hong Butian looked at the ugly-looking Ren Yihun with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
"The grand formation in Medicine King Valley can theoretically compete with the Nascent Soul stage..."
Zhao Zhuji said in a deep voice.
"This situation is happening now..."
The great elder said solemnly: "This means that at least two or more Nascent Soul realm monsters have come to the human race area..."
