As soon as Fang Ming's words came out, the expressions of Xianyun and Wang Guodong changed at the same time. Although they guessed that Old Scar was the child from back then, they never expected that Old Scar would be the biological son of Qiu Chenzi and Widow He.
"So what if he is my master's child? My master is dead and no one can stop me."
After a while, Xianyun snorted coldly and looked at the scarred old man with disdain. If his master was still alive, of course he would not dare to be so arrogant, but he was already sure that his master was dead, so he changed
You have to be confident.
"Since you are my master's son, that's even better. Let you watch me get the dragon crystal in the castle. If my master comes to his hometown and finds out about it in the underworld, his expression will definitely be wonderful."
Xianyun didn't have much respect for Qiu Chenzi, because Qiu Chenzi had no good intentions when he accepted him as his disciple, and he just needed someone to do things for him.
To put it bluntly, Xianyun is a chess piece in Qiu Chenzi's hands. He was trained by Qiu Chenzi to complete some tasks. Xianyun also knows this, but because of Qiu Chenzi's strength, even if he is rebellious, he will not
Dare to show it.
However, this kind of rebellion began to take root in Xianyun's heart after Qiu Chenzi's death, and continued to grow, so much so that he no longer had any respect for Qiu Chenzi in his heart.
"Brother Xianyun, the talisman on the castle has disappeared."
When Wang Guodong saw the red talisman on the city gate disappear, his face showed joy. Xianyun also looked slightly excited, and then he looked at Fang Ming and Scared Old Man, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you now, I want you to see me
After you get the dragon crystal that my master has worked so hard to get, I will decide your fate. Maybe if I am in a good mood, I will spare your death."
Fang Ming smiled faintly and did not argue. He just watched Wang Guodong step forward and push the iron door open. The iron door that had been covered in dust for more than sixty years was pushed open with a creaking sound, and finally, it was completely exposed.
True appearance.
The castle is not big. The moment Fang Ming opened it, he saw rows of mud platforms, which were poured out of loess and more than a foot high. They stood there like gourds.
"The corpses of the deceased are in this mud platform."
There was a look of shock on Wang Guodong's face. His father had said that the bodies of the victims had been placed in the mud platform by Qiu Chenzi. What Qiu Chenzi told the villagers was that such words could seal away these grievances.
There will be no leakage in the mud platform that will harm people in the village.
"The mud platform seals the corpse, and the resentment cannot come out, but it will go underground, and eventually hurt the dragon's veins. You must know that loess is a symbol of the earth, and this yellow mud is not simple. When it was stirred, my master secretly
Added blood dragon grass."
When Xianyun saw these mud platforms, he had a look of disdain on his face, because he was the only one who knew what these mud platforms were.
"Blood Dragon Grass?"
Fang Ming frowned, while Ye Ziyu on the side asked curiously: "Brother Fang Ming, what is Blood Dragon Grass?"
"A special plant that specializes in absorbing the air of the earth. We know that everything in the world is inseparable from the nourishment of the air of the earth. However, everything in the world is only nourished by the air of the dragon vein. To put it bluntly, the air of the earth automatically gives it to you.
But there is a plant that is different. It actively absorbs the dragon vein energy from the earth's energy, and it absorbs it like crazy."
The world is filled with the energy of the earth, and the dragon vein energy, which is the best among them, is of great importance. For ordinary people, they enjoy the gift of the earth's energy instead of actively absorbing the earth's energy.
Even cultivators cannot completely absorb the energy of the earth, because the quantity and majesty of the energy of the earth cannot be absorbed by one or two living beings.
If the air of the earth is compared to the ocean, even if ordinary people fill up the sea water by themselves, it will only be a drop in the bucket to the ocean.
But Blood Dragon Grass is different. The special thing about Blood Dragon Grass is that it can absorb the energy of the earth infinitely. But the most important thing is that the blood dragon grass that absorbs the energy of the earth will not bring much change to itself.
Even useless.
Someone once speculated that the appearance of Blood Dragon Grass is to maintain the balance of heaven and earth, because heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang. If the energy of the earth is too strong, in the end yin and yang will not be separated, and the whole world will no longer have a sky but only earth.
.
Blood Dragon Grass is used to consume the energy of the earth to maintain a balance between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world. The lifespan of a Blood Dragon Grass is less than three years, but the energy of the earth it can absorb in three years is one
An extremely terrifying amount.
"Blood Dragon Grass makes dragon veins bleed. This is the meaning of its name. Of course, some people say that the reason for the emergence of Blood Dragon Grass is that the rules of this world do not allow the existence of people who are too unnatural. After all, if
The aura of heaven and earth in the entire land has reached a terrifying level, and it is very likely that some extremely powerful races will be born, just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, a stone can give birth to a living being."
Fang Ming knew these descriptions of Blood Dragon Grass from his master, but there is no record of Blood Dragon Grass in the wizard's inheritance. This shows that in the wizard's era, there was no such plant as Blood Dragon Grass.
"My master worked hard to find the Blood Dragon Grass and cooperated with the grievances of the victims. After the grievances were washed away and the dragon's energy was continuously sucked away, the dragon's spirit would naturally not stay here and would definitely change its direction.
If you leave here, you will leave the dragon crystal behind."
Xianyun walked directly into the castle, crossed the mud platforms and continued walking towards the inside. Fang Ming was about to follow him in, but the scarred old man suddenly stopped in front of Fang Ming.
"Young man, can I ask you a favor?"
The old man with scars looked at Fang Ming, and Fang Ming was a little surprised. He didn't know why the old man with scars would say such things to him at this time.
"As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will try my best to do whatever I can."
The scarred old man nodded, "If you can, help me find the mute child from back then. His name is Tieniu."
Hearing Old Scar's request, Fang Ming's pupils shrank, but before he could reply, Old Scar suddenly ran towards the castle. After running into the castle, he pressed his right hand under the left wall of the castle.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Guodong discovered what Old Scar had done, but it was already too late. A relieved smile appeared on Old Scar's face, and he looked at Fang Ming outside the castle, "Young man, I leave all this to you."
Wow!
The iron gate of the castle that was originally opened unexpectedly started to close automatically at this moment. The expressions of Wang Guodong and Taoist Xianyun who had just stepped into the castle changed instantly, because they did not know what was going on. Could it be that this castle
Are there any agencies inside?
"I am his child after all. He once left me a letter that recorded everything about this castle. He told me that if he can't come back, then I can take away the things in the castle.
Let’s go, but what he doesn’t know is that I have no interest in dragon crystal at all, what I want to know is the informer from back then.”
This was the last voice from Old Man Scar, followed closely by the roars of Xianyun and Wang Guodong, but Fang Ming couldn't hear the next two voices, because there was a sudden burst of sound in the castle.
With gusts of wind and thunder, the entire castle began to shake.
"Fang Ming, what is going on?" Ye Ziyu looked at the shaking castle in surprise. At the same time, Ling Yao did not continue to pretend. She had witnessed and heard the conversation between Fang Ming and several people before, and now she had a look on her face.
doubts.
"Qiu Chenzi left a backup plan. There is one protective formation in the castle, and there is probably another formation in the castle. Qiu Chenzi told the old man about this formation. After all, this is his son."
Fang Ming's expression became very complicated. He could imagine how resentful Old Man Scar was towards his father. It was his father who killed his playmates and killed so many people for his own selfish interests.
The disaster victims, and even his mother were driven crazy and disappeared.
Fang Ming could imagine what a cold-hearted person Qiu Chenzi was. I am afraid that the reason why Old Man Scar knew about the mechanisms in the castle was because Qiu Chenzi only stayed after he was certain that he would die. Otherwise,
In the hearts of people like Qiu Chenzi, even his own flesh and blood are not as important as Long Jing.
boom!
Just over a minute later, the city wall suddenly began to show signs of collapse. Fang Ming frowned and looked at the many villagers not far from the city wall. He walked to the place where Taoist Xianyun had planted the flag, clasped his hands, and then
Following the changes in his handprints, the villagers moved away from the castle and stood in a row.
The dust was flying and it took a few minutes to completely dissipate. Only then did Fang Ming, Ye Ziyu, and Ling Yao clearly see the situation inside the castle.
In a piece of leftover soil, those mud platforms collapsed one after another, revealing the dense white bones inside. Xianyun and Wang Guodong fell on the white bones. Their bodies were full of scars. It can be said that there was not a complete part of their bodies. As for
Although the old man with the scar was better, he was still bleeding profusely.
"What happened?"
Ye Ziyu and Ling Yao were not cultivators. They didn't understand how the castle could collapse in just such a moment. Fang Ming sighed and signaled Ye Ziyu to stand where he was and not go in. He walked towards
Walk inside the castle.
"Ahem, young man, do you know how I got this scar? It was caused by him. Back then, he asked me to guard this castle for him, but I didn't want to, so he let a poisonous insect get through my nose.
He went in and finally came out with my skin broken."
The scarred old man fell in a pool of blood and looked at Fang Ming. For him, death is not terrible. On the contrary, death means a kind of relief. There are only two motivations to support his survival in these years. One is to destroy this sin-filled city.
In the castle, one is to find the whistleblower of the year.
The former requires people like Xianyun to break the seal of the formation outside, and the latter requires him to investigate. At this moment, both of his goals have been achieved, and he has no regrets in this life.
"Remember, what you promised me is..."
The scarred old man finally closed his eyes with a smile on his face. Fang Ming stared at the scarred old man's face for a few seconds before looking back. He didn't know what to say except sighing slightly.
However, in the end, when he looked past Xianyun and Wang Guodong toward the innermost part of the castle, his eyes lit up, and a light flashed in his eyes.
