Jian Zhen suddenly remembered this, and immediately glanced around, but found nothing.
The white cloth parcels that were originally densely hung on the mountain were now gone and could not be found at all!
"Ah?" Lu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked around and was stunned.
"Why are they missing? How come those things are missing?" she asked loudly.
"What's missing?"
Everyone looked at Lu Xiaoyue, but no one had reacted yet.
"The ritual of haunting the soul!" Lu Xiaoyue pointed at the bare Lianyuan Peak and said with a wry smile: "All those white cloth packages are gone, and we didn't notice at all!"
"Really!" Li Qingyue looked around and his eyes widened.
Yun Chu looked more carefully, searching almost the entire mountain, but he could only sigh: "Where did it go? Why is it missing?"
"I didn't notice it from beginning to end. If Xiaoyue hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed it at all!"
Li Xuanqing patted her head gently, feeling annoyed for her negligence.
"Do you think it could be the fault of that monster?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Lu Xiaoyue, with a solemn expression, as if waiting for the next step.
Lu Xiaoyue composed herself and continued: "The monster created so many soul-winding rituals. Its purpose is definitely not to extend its life, so what is its real purpose? Could it be that it is not dead yet, but in that
The world is waiting for us!" As she said this, she pointed to the big hole in the monster's mouth.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoyue suddenly thought of the Forbidden Mountain in the cabin world and the four divine beasts imprisoned inside.
Could this monster hide in that world and become a living forbidden mountain?
"Xiaoyue's analysis makes sense! Those soul-wound gossamer rituals are probably not just about renewing one's life, but taking it away!" Yun Chu suddenly stood up and said.
Taking life? What is taking life?
Everyone looked at Yun Chu with puzzled faces, waiting for her answer.
Taking a life is a more cruel ritual than extending a life.
In terms of means, the two are almost the same, but the effects are very different.
Life extension means that the subject still has a certain life span, but there is not much time left, so he needs to borrow someone else's to extend his life...
To take a life is to forcibly take someone else's life to maintain one's own life.
The subject of the fatal spell may have no lifespan, may not be human, or may even be an alien or a monster...
After Yun Chu explained this, everyone understood it at once.
The fact that the monster became what it is now is probably the result of killing...
When they thought of this, everyone shuddered and looked at the monster's body.
The monster was so big that its body was the entire Liuyuan Peak. Even if it took the lives of hundreds of people, it only turned a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, a pair of nostrils, and a mouth into human ones.
The appearance, other than that, is still that of stone!
Of course, if no one discovers its conspiracy and no one comes to stop it, sooner or later this monster will be able to completely transform into a human, and even transform its entire body.
However, it is unknown how many lives this process will require.
"Sister Yun Chu said this. I'm afraid that the ritual of entangling souls has been brought in by this monster... maybe it is accumulating strength now, waiting for us to attack." Lu Xiaoyue suddenly paused at this point.
After a moment, he sneered: "Then we can't let it wait in vain, right?"
"That's right! This monster only transformed its seven orifices and took away the lives of hundreds of people. If it completes its body transformation, there won't be enough lives for the entire Huayin City. We can't let it continue to cause harm!" Yun Chu immediately said
Agreed.
Everyone quickly expressed their position, and then immediately started to enter the cave.
If you want to enter the trial area, you must first confirm the conditions for entry.
The Trial Land has its own rules. If those who do not meet the entry requirements want to force their way in, they will have only one fate - death!
The Mieling Sect had to pay the price of several disciples to figure out the entry conditions for the Qingxia Mountain hut.
Now there are only four of them, Lu Xiaoyue, and there is not much difference in their cultivation level. Except for Yun Chu, whose cultivation level is unknown, the rest are all in the God Forging Realm.
Of course, this does not include Jian Zhen.
They are all in the God Forging Realm. Without the gap in cultivation, it is impossible to test the conditions for entry.
Everyone thought at the entrance of the cave for a while, but still couldn't find a good way.
After pondering for a long time, Jianzhen finally came up with an idea, which was to let small animals explore the way.
When we were in Forbidden Mountain, we relied on that field mouse to find our way around. Now that we have changed places, the method is still the same.
"Then... what animals are suitable for exploring the road?" Lu Xiaoyue scratched her head, a little confused.
The door at the entrance of the cave is different from the restrictions on the Forbidden Mountain. It will definitely not work to copy the original method exactly, so it needs to be modified.
Jian Zhen naturally thought of this, so he smiled and said: "Actually, the most suitable candidate is that stupid bird!" He said, pointing the tip of his sword above his head.
In the monster's eye socket, there is a red bird, which is gently pecking at the stone in the eye socket with its beak, as if looking for food.
As if hearing someone calling it a stupid bird, Suzaku suddenly turned his head and looked down with a fierce look.
Lu Xiaoyue also happened to be looking up.
The eyes of one person and one bird met instantly!
"Okay, it's you!" Lu Xiaoyue chuckled and waved to Suzaku.
Suzaku tilted his head and hesitated for a while, then finally gave up looking for food and flew straight towards Lu Xiaoyue.
After a moment, Suzaku landed on Lu Xiaoyue's shoulder.
"Little bird...by the way, your name is Yuan Pingzhi, right? Then I will call you Pingping from now on!" Lu Xiaoyue stretched out a hand and gently touched Suzaku's head.
Suzaku closed his eyes comfortably and nodded gently.
"Pingping, I have something to ask you for help." Lu Xiaoyue changed her voice and stated her purpose, and finally said: "I know this job is a bit dangerous. If you don't want to, you can give it up. We can
Then think of another way.”
Indeed, entering the cave world is a very dangerous thing.
Suzaku now has no cultivation, and relying on its own strength alone, it is very likely that he will never come back. Therefore, for the sake of its safety, Lu Xiaoyue must clearly explain the danger.
Suzaku was very courageous and had a certain ability to predict danger. He tilted his head and thought about it, then quickly nodded in agreement.
"Well, we are waiting for your good news!" Lu Xiaoyue touched Suzaku's little head.
"Chichi!" the red bird chirped, then fluttered its wings and rushed into the cave.
