The night breeze was blowing gently, and six men in white robes were standing on an unnamed mass grave in Changhu County.
One of them was Bai Yu, who had just arrived from Beijiang County overnight. The other five seemed to be older than Bai Yu, and one of them had already turned white.
"Is this the kind of bell you're talking about?"
The eldest man in the center took a half-foot-long weird copper bell from Bai Yu. He turned it over in his hand and looked at it carefully, with a very interested expression on his face.
Bai Yu stood on the far left, bowed slightly, and quickly replied: "Yes, ancestor, Zhang Yan said that this kind of bell can detect and detain the weakest spirit race."
The bell has a handle that can be held with one hand, and the top is the main body of the bell. You can see many complex patterns on it, which look like they were cast or carved. It feels heavy and heavy in your hand. But this is
The bell is also very strange. It cannot be shaken by slight shaking. Unless you put your fingers into the bell and fiddle with it, it can make two clicks that are not painful or itchy, and it is very unpleasant to hear.
So, can this thing really work?
Of course, no matter how doubtful I am, I can't ignore it, because this is something Zhang Yan took out. Although the purpose sounds very unreliable, just like Zhang Yan, he is not a person who can use common sense to reason.
That's why Bai Yu rushed to this mass grave. Because this is the closest mass grave to the "ancestor" he calls his retreat. It's also the most suitable place to test whether the bell is useful.
Look again, the six people present, including Bai Yu, all have a swallowing beast squatting on their shoulders. However, the fur colors of these swallowing beasts are different. The one on Bai Yu's shoulder is the lightest color, while the beard and hair are all white.
The one squatting on the shoulders of the "ancestor" is almost as thick as ink.
"Okay, let's start. There should be some pseudo-spiritual tribes here. Let's go look for them."
The ancestor spoke, and the other five people hurriedly bowed in response. Then the swallowing beasts on their shoulders flew up and dispersed, and they went to look for each other. The six people who stayed in place continued to talk.
"Xiaoyu, have you ever seen the actual bone-strengthening pill that is rumored outside?"
"No. The Bone-Strengthening Pill has only been reported by Commander Shi Xuan of the Eastern Army, and the news is true. No one has spread the news elsewhere. I have never seen the real thing. Now that Zhang Yan suddenly revealed a lot of
It is a powerful killing method. It is estimated that all the forces that want to use force against him are still considering and waiting to see.
However, Langyuan City Guards Zhou Cang has a close relationship with Zhang Yan, and Zhou Cang gave Zhang Yan a lot of help when Zhang Yan was in trouble, which can be regarded as a favor to Zhang Yan. I guess Zhou Cang did not show off to Zhang Yan at the beginning.
At that time, Zhang Yan was firmly on Zhang Yan's side, which may also have something to do with the Bone Strengthening Pill. However, Zhou Cang's cultivation level has not yet reached the bottleneck, and the effect of the Bone Strengthening Pill will not be immediate for him, and may still be hidden in the body.
Maybe in my hand."
"The bone-strengthening pill is also very important. Our clan has always struggled to survive, but in the final analysis, it is still weak. We can only act as thugs for the two clans. The human clan is better off, and the people on the demon clan are having a hard time. But I
Our clan has outstanding talents. With the help of the Bone Strengthening Pill and the blessing of the martial arts of the human clan, the strong men of the demon clan will no longer be able to take advantage of us. The situation of the clan has improved, and it is not impossible to even find a place belonging to our clan!
However, Zhang Yan’s methods will continue to wait and see. I have read this person’s resume several times. It seems that it is all about luck, but in fact, he is running steadily step by step. Now he basically no longer exists in Nanyuan Kingdom.
Who would wantonly conflict with him? So we must be more cautious.
If, as he said, his methods are difficult to teach, then you can naturally get along with him and even continue to have good relations with him. If what he said is a lie, then you must cut off the disaster with a thunderous strike!
Understand?"
"Bai Yu understands! He will definitely keep an eye on Zhang Yan. But two days before I left Langyuan City, Zhang Yan recruited another student in the Miscellaneous Academy, but he chose one from hundreds of children. It seems that
It’s really hard to find the seeds to teach.”
"Well, keep paying attention and don't be careless."
While he was talking, the five swallowing beasts that had just flown out to search came back together. Three of them had no harvest, and two of them had a wild ghost in their mouths.
The wild ghost struggled but could not escape from the teeth of the swallowing beast. The way it opened its teeth and claws was ferocious, but it was actually a bit miserable.
"Sniff sniff..."
He sniffed his nose, then shared the gaze of the swallowing beast and saw the two wild ghosts.
At the same time, when two swallowing beasts with wild ghosts in their mouths approached, the bell held by the "ancestor" started shaking without any warning. Although it was not rapid, the sound was clear and crisp, not at all.
Just like before, it couldn't shake or the sound was unpleasant.
"Don't get close yet." The ancestor held the bell, with curiosity in his eyes, and stopped the two swallowing beasts from approaching, stopping at a distance of more than twenty feet.
Then the ancestor took the bell and approached the two wild ghosts step by step. The sound of the bell in his hand would become more rapid as it got closer. On the contrary, if he retreated thirty feet away, the bell would return to its previous lifeless appearance.
There is a reaction.
"It can really serve as a warning. But the distance should be about twenty-three feet."
Keep going, but deliberately stagger in the correct direction. Unexpectedly, the bell will make other sounds, which seems to remind you that you are going in the wrong direction.
"It's so spiritual?!" Everyone, including the ancestor, was shocked. It was obviously a dead thing, but it acted like it was intelligent. It gave people goosebumps all over their bodies.
When they were only three feet away from the two wild ghosts, a burst of golden light suddenly emitted from the bell, and the sound of the bell seemed to have a strange rhythm. It was not felt by others, but the two beasts were holding it in their mouths.
However, the trapped wild ghost could feel the huge suction force suddenly appearing, pulling them and slowly tearing them out from the swallowing beast's mouth.
"Let one go."
When the ancestor spoke, one of the swallowing beasts immediately let go of its mouth. The next moment, the wild ghost that escaped from the beast's mouth seemed to be sucked by an invisible force and was constantly squeezed. After a distance of only a few feet, it became
It was only about the size of a bean, and finally disappeared into the bell.
"Put it away again."
The second wild ghost was released again. This time everyone raised their attention and perception to the highest level, and even borrowed the special perception of the swallowing beast, but they still couldn't detect where the bell had received the two wild ghosts.
.I don’t even understand how this bell can do such magical things.
What is happening in front of us has subverted the cognition of everyone present. This is completely different from swallowing beasts to feed on the spirit race. Bells are dead things!
But one thing is certain. That is that the two wild ghosts who were trapped in the bell have not disappeared because they can sense very weak fluctuations of their souls from the bell.
