MTL - Cultivating Immortals: I Can Save the Price-Chapter 630 The status quo of the outside world, upside-down cognition
Chapter 630 The current situation of the outside world, reversed cognition
Messy movements echoed in the cave. Dozens of figures leaned on each other, each holding a torch high, letting the sparks burn their hands.
They were wearing black Taoist robes, and their waists were covered with metal ornaments made of brass, many of which were stained with blood.
The accessories are all distorted and deformed monsters, and there are obvious traces of sand polishing on the surface, which has obviously been used for at least several months.
In the cave, the atmosphere is terribly oppressive.
They looked at each other in silence, their appearances were covered by black robes, as if they were trying to hide something.
A moment later, the leading middle-aged man stood up, walked to the center of the cave with a torch in his hand, and the fire immediately illuminated within five meters.
I saw an altar made of gravel piled up in the cave, with a thick layer of blood stains on the surface, showing a disgusting color.
A large number of animal bones and a few human bones were placed around the altar, and the bones were extremely distorted and deformed.
Obviously, although the altar was built temporarily, priests often appeared.
The middle-aged man stepped on the ground with his right foot, and made a strange tone, causing everyone to stand up and make the same movement.
"Huha..."
"Huha..."
They roared like wild animals, shaking their torches vigorously.
Under the background of the fire, there were looming patterns on the stone wall, which turned out to be strange and inexplicable monsters.
The monster seems to be covered with plant roots, located deep in the earth, absorbing the nutrients in the soil, and giving birth to twisted things.
The ceremony lasted for several hours, but the altar obviously lacked statues for worship, and it might be the gods they believed in, which could not be identified with the naked eye.
After a long time, the cave returned to calm.
They half-kneeled on the ground, folded their hands together and continued to chant the scriptures, even if they were hungry and tired, they couldn't make the man in black move half a step.
The leading middle-aged man was the only one with his eyes open, his expression was slightly sad, and his arms behind his back could not help but tremble slightly.
He stared blankly at the mural until the thin man beside him asked softly.
"Gao Miaozhu, can the gods really respond to our request?"
"Wu Jian."
"Are you doubting me, or Earth Ancestor?"
Gao Miaozhu is like a wild cat whose tail has been trampled on, the cowardice in his eyes is gone, and he stares sharply at the other party.
He knows that the more difficult he is, the less he can be soft-hearted.
Hiding in the cave for several months, the supplies have already been exhausted. What Gao Miao Zhuneng can do is to suppress the physical pain with faith and wait for a turnaround.
Wu Jian couldn't help opening his mouth, but finally chose not to speak, but his eyes still stayed on the mural.
The cave was silent, except for the sound of heavy breathing. Gao Miaozhu kept moving around in the cave, his expression becoming more and more anxious.
I don't know how long it has passed, the sound of metal hitting stones came from outside the cave, and it lasted for several minutes at a frequency of three long and two short.
Gao Miaozhu was ecstatic, and hurried to the entrance of the cave, took out a brass rod from his arms, and responded to the percussion with different frequencies.
The sound outside the cave disappeared immediately, and a figure walked towards Gao Miaozhu in embarrassment, and staggered and fell to the ground as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave.
Gao Miaozhu supported the figure, and an unpleasant smell of blood came to his face, which showed that the other party had suffered serious injuries.
"Lu Daochang, you should have found the trace of the fairy bone, right?"
"Well...fortunately, life is not disgraceful."
Lu Daochang's throat was hoarse, blood was continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth, and there were several uncontrollable coughs from time to time.
All the men in black looked at Daoist Lu, who was trembling beside the stone wall, and then lifted his robes.
Lu Daochang took off the Taoist robe that had stuck to his skin, the pain made him grin hoarsely.
His body has penetrating wounds of various sizes, many of which have stopped bleeding, but most of them are still festering and pus.
Judging from the appearance of Lu Taoist, there are very few traces of alienation, only the gill-like organ on the neck, which is almost the same as the mortal before the disaster.
"This celestial bone is placed in the Confucius Temple in Li County. It's really... hard to get. I use my disciples to sacrifice to get a few chances."
Gao Miao Zhu Yishu, Lu Daochang took away more than 20 disciples before leaving, and they all died in the Confucius Temple.
However, as long as you get the fairy bones, all sacrifices are meaningful.
Lu Daochang put his index finger into his mouth, took out the bullet stuck between his teeth, and removed the dirt on the surface with a pinch of his finger.
The fingertip bone of the little finger is actually hidden in the projectile, and the whole is like agar white jade, emitting a faint light in the cave.
The men in black gasped, and they looked at the phalanges with fiery eyes.
"Become a fairy and get the Tao."
"It really is a fairy bone. If you become a fairy, you will soon become a fairy."
Several of them wept with joy, slashed their wrists with sharp brass knives, soaked the altar with blood, and sang praises to the immortal **** named Earth Ancestor.
Daoist Lu cut off his little finger without hesitation, washed the fairy bones with the blood from his fingertips, and couldn't help but frantically muttered to himself: "For the sake of the descending of the Earth Ancestor, the Earth Ancestor will eventually come."
Gao Miaozhu also said piously: "Yes, for the coming of the ancestor."
Wu Jian kept peeking at the phalanx, pretending to follow and recite the scriptures, but in fact he was hiding the greed in his eyes.
After the phalanx is clean as new, it is placed on a disc made of brass.
Immediately, Gao Miaozhu took off his Taoist robe, revealing a body that was just a chest alienation, and then picked up the brass knife washed with blood.
He gritted his teeth and stabbed into the abdomen, cut open the flesh and stomach, and took out something from it.
The bone that is also the little finger, happens to be the last two joints, and it is the same as the joints Lu Daochang found, belonging to the right hand.
Gao Miaozhu weakly picked up the phalanx and let the bones touch each other.
Only a crisp sound was heard, and the bones of the little fingers joined together to form a complete finger.
They stared at it fascinatedly, with unconcealable reverence in their eyes.
After a few short breaths of calm, things in the cave suddenly floated up, and an invisible terrifying breath emanated from the finger bones.
Boom! !
Immediately afterwards, all the torches were extinguished at the same time, and the finger bones became colorful.
Dreamy light and shadow emanated from the cracks in the finger bones, and various fungi in the cave grew rapidly, and soon grew to a size of half a meter.
The fungus released spores and penetrated into the body of the man in black.
All the men in black robes showed expressions of enjoyment. Their injuries are recovering rapidly, and Gao Miaozhu and Lu Daochang are no longer weak.
They took off their black robes, their bodies were only slightly alienated, and under the action of their phalanges, their skin turned translucent.
Blood mixed with spores flows throughout the body, and finally converges to the heart, causing extraordinary changes in the heart.
The alienation of the man in black robe gradually faded because of the relationship between the phalanges.
Only Lu Daochang, except for the colorful heart, the kidneys seem to be shrouded in gray yin, causing the abdomen to be covered with frost.
After the phalanges were flooded for more than half an hour, the cave fell into silence again. Everyone closed their eyes and felt the difference in themselves.
Daochang Lu woke up first.
He opened his eyes and looked around. After seeing everyone's obviously ordinary appearance, his eyes were bloodshot, and tears could not stop flowing down.
Lu Daochang's fear could not be suppressed, and he couldn't help lying on the ground and retching.
It wasn't until the rest of the people showed signs of awakening that Daoist Lu pulled himself together and warned in a cold voice: "Accept the good fortune of the Earth Ancestor, and the body will naturally move closer to the Earth Ancestor. You should all know the rules of Wuzhuang Temple, right?"
All the people said in unison: "Use our flesh and blood to worship the ancestors of the earth."
They did not choose to open their eyes, and skillfully covered their naked bodies, as if their appearance was some kind of indescribable monster in the eyes of others.
While everyone was busy, Wu Jian quietly left the cave while they closed their eyes and didn't pay attention, and there was a lack of light in the cave.
Gao Miaozhu woke up belatedly, picked up the phalanx and carefully swallowed it into his stomach.
Lu Daochang sat cross-legged in meditation, nodded and said: "This section of the fairy bone is called Qingming, it is transformed from the dream of the ancestors of the earth, and you can get the dream fairy breath from the ancestors of the earth."
"I see."
"Since there is Qingming, it will be easier for us to get rid of the pursuers."
The gloom on Gao Miaozhu's face has been swept away. In his opinion, after entering the Tao with the help of fairy bones, he is completely able to protect himself.
Besides, the dream fairy breath of the ancestors of the earth is very suitable for concealed travel.
According to the rumors, the Earth Ancestor once went down to travel the world, leaving a total of twelve bones, and after obtaining it, he can accept the inheritance of the Earth Ancestor and enter the Tao.
Gao Miaozhu did not know how much energy he spent to find the Qingming fairy bone.
Only when all the immortal bones are assembled can the immortal bones be transformed into immortal bodies. After that, only the great cycle of the dream fairy breath can be used to steadily improve one's cultivation.
It is said that one who comes into contact with the twelve kinds of immortal bones of the Earth Ancestor will attain Taoism and become an immortal.
It's a pity that the fairy bones are scattered all over the place, and trying to find them is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Lu Daoren's kidney also has traces of immortality, indicating that he has been in contact with other immortal bones, and his strength has already entered the room.
"Where's Wu Jian?!"
Gao Miaozhu issued a questioning spoken word, and grabbed the woman beside him with a pale face.
"I...I, don't know..."
"It's a bad thing, we have to hurry up and leave, Wu Jian may have changed his family and believed in the Three Dao Patriarchs."
Lu Daoren packed up his things immediately, but froze in place as soon as he finished speaking.
Thick smoke poured in from the corridor of the cave, apparently the pursuers were already outside, planning to use the smoke to smoke out the group of rats.
"Do we have a chance of winning?"
Gao Miaozhu asked with a wry smile, but was answered by Lu Daochang shaking his head in denial.
Daoist Lu grabbed Gao Miaozhu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "You can't throw away the Qingming bones. We will protect you and kill you. Whether you can break out of the siege depends on the blessing of the Dizu."
Gao Miaozhu did not hesitate, and strangely circulated the breath of the dream fairy, and the rest of the black-robed people followed suit, and they were shrouded in colorful mist.
They rushed out of the cave, and if they waited for the pursuers to know the layout of the cave from Wu Jian, they might have no chance at all.
The outside world is dark at this time, and hundreds of Taoist soldiers ready to go are distributed in the jungle.
They don't cover their bodies like the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple, they wear light leather armor and hold a long brass knife in their hands.
However, the Taoist soldiers looked extremely deformed, completely made up of beasts and humans, and rotten flesh was constantly peeling off as they walked.
The Taoist soldiers of the Three Daozu and the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple are completely two extremes.
The Taoist soldiers are heavily alienated, but they think they are normal; the Taoist priests are slightly alienated, but they are afraid of seeing the same kind of appearance.
The disaster brought by Yuanshi Tianzun still changes the perception of all living beings.
The odd-shaped Taoist soldiers watched coldly and sealed the entrance of the cave with weapons.
It can be seen that among the Dao soldiers, the bigger and more weird ones have the highest status, and they are riding on the back of three horses covered with pus.
"Lord Sui, those treacherous priests from Wuzhuang Temple have come out of the rat hole!"
The leader of the Dao Bing is more than two meters long, and he is completely composed of rotten meat. The simple armor can only protect part of the body, exposing the wriggling large intestine of the abdomen to the air.
Master Sui said in a contemptuous tone: "It's just a remnant of evil spirits, so there's no need to make such a fuss?"
"Look at them, they don't even dare to show their true faces, it can be seen that they have long lost their human form."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The Taoist soldiers laughed unscrupulously, not caring about the threat of Wuzhuang Temple at all, and at the same time they kept approaching the entrance of the cave.
The Taoist soldiers in the back row took out the cannon-shaped magic weapon, filled it with copper beads continuously, and then blocked the cannon mouth with dark red ooze.
They aimed their gun barrels at the Taoist priests in Wuzhuang Temple. The latter looked fearful, obviously afraid of the magical weapons held by the Taoist soldiers.
Gao Miaozhu narrowed his eyes, and squeezed out two words between his teeth: "Evil."
He noticed that Wu Jian's body was hanging on a tree not far away, so it could be seen that the Taoist soldiers did not intend to let any Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple go.
"Bold, do you know Dizu..."
"put."
Master Sui was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple, so he directly ordered the magic weapon to be activated, and the Taoist soldiers immediately activated their unique magic power.
bang bang bang...
The gun barrel spouted hot flames, and the copper beads punched the Taoist priest's body full of holes. Even with the blessing of Mengxian's breath, in front of the Taoist soldiers, he was as fragile as a praying man's arm blocking a car.
Most of the Taoist priests present were killed or injured. They tried to rush out under the leadership of Lu Daochang, but quickly retreated into the cave.
Gao Miaozhu lay powerlessly on the ground, his stomach tumbling involuntarily.
"Earth Ancestor, save me!"
"Earth Ancestor, why should we die in this cave?"
"I don't want to die."
In the shadow of death, they began to use self-mutilation to pray to the Earth Ancestor, and outside the cave were Taoist soldiers laughing wildly, not caring about the so-called Earth Ancestor.
Master Sui looked at a group of rats crossing the street, turned sideways and told the guards next to him: "After getting back the evil bones, remember to keep a section for them, and evil cultivators will come to die."
"Understood, my lord."
Jinwei nodded, but couldn't help looking at Gao Miaozhu and the others.
A few days ago, they were a group of ordinary farmers who were driven to a dead end. Driven by the remnants of Wuzhuang Temple, they are now on the road of cultivation.
It's unbelievable, no wonder some people say that evil spirits are a shortcut to immortality.
"Attack them with fire, and reduce them to ashes."
After Lord Sui gave the order, the dry firewood was piled at the entrance of the cave, and the flame was quickly ignited, and the thick smoke was poured inside under the action of the wind direction.
They secretly admired the pain and wailing of the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple, and discussed how to go to the city to squander after getting military merits.
Even Master Sui didn't realize that the movement in the cave disappeared too quickly.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of chanting.
Against the backdrop of the flames, the Taoist priest of Wuzhuang Temple fell to his knees.
"The great sage, the innate spiritual root."
"The person who suppresses the essence is the innate spiritual root hidden in the acquired world."
"Earth Ancestor!"
"Earth Ancestor!!"
