Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain - Chapter 287

At this moment, several fire sticks have not been extinguished.

By the flickering light of the fire.

On the extended stone platform, almost all the people’s attention was attracted by the strange flower.

All the way down.

Except for those gerbils, black snakes and white bearded fish in the underground lake.

This is the first time they see other life beings.

It is also the rarest green plant in the desert.

Thousands of years ago, in the ancient Uyghur language, Zagrama evolved from an oasis and a home to a place of lifelessness and death.

Even the Haloxylon ammodendron and Populus euphratica, the most cold and drought tolerant trees, cannot survive.

Buried by wind and sand.

Or turn into a pile of rotten wood, dust and mud.

Who could have imagined that such a bright and colorful flower would appear hundreds of meters underground in the ancient city.

Everyone present is also a well-informed person.

But for a while no one recognized him.

“Miss Oona, do you know her?”

Finally, a gentle voice broke the silence.

Everyone turned around subconsciously.

His eyes fell on the tall figure, whose face was covered by a black scarf, and who seemed to be a little distracted.

Shamanism has been passed down in the Western Regions for a long time.

It has a history of more than two thousand years.

Traveling among various tribes and small countries, you may have recorded these strange flowers.

But facing everyone’s gaze, Oona just shook her head.

From the moment she crossed the stone bridge, everything here was extremely new and unfamiliar to her.

“Brother Chen…”

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle, who had been silent until now, suddenly made a sound.

“Brother Taoist, do you recognize him?”

“There are indeed similar records in the Imo Mountain lineage. The broad leaves are as bright as blood and live on the carrion of dead corpses, so they are called corpse flowers or carrion flowers. And because it is said to grow on the side of the Yellow Spring, it is also called the Yellow Spring Flower. ”

“This object is extremely ominous and represents a bad omen.”

The moment he saw the blood flowers in the tree, Partridge Whistle remembered the record in the Secret Record of Moving Mountains.

However, even there are only a few records about it in the book.

After reading it again and again to confirm it was correct, he spoke.

“Corpse flower?”

“The other side of the underworld?”

“God, isn’t this mother a ghost flower?”

“It’s nonsense. I didn’t look at the bright red blood stains in the leaves. It feels like it can seep out after shaking it twice.”

“Since we live on rotting corpses, then… the people buried in the tree holes won’t be human beings, right?”

“Don’t say it, it’s really not impossible.”

“What a fool, how could someone else be buried in the Queen’s Palace Mausoleum? It’s impossible to even think about it with your toes. Even burial pits are generally built outside the mausoleum.”

“That’s not necessarily true. The Western Region is not the Central Plains. Before coming to this place, have you seen the royal tombs built in the city? Have you seen the stone ship coffins sunk in the desert?”

The partridge whistle had just finished speaking.

There was a burst of exclamation from all around.

This name is really too weird.

Live on flesh and blood.

“The flower on the other side of the underworld, the name is quite interesting.”

Staring at the corpse-scented konjac that was too bright in the firelight, Chen Yulou said slowly.

There was not much shock and anger in his tone.

The so-called unknown omen didn’t seem to be a big deal to him.

“If it’s really so evil, it’s better to kill him first.”

“I don’t believe it. Can a flower turn into a demon and eat people?”

Yang Fang shrugged, looking indifferent.

He didn’t understand why he should be so afraid of a flower.

It’s not a zombie-like rice dumpling, a sinister evil thing.

“It’s easy to break it, but it’s probably not that easy to kill it.”

Chen Yulou shook his head.

Stop him from raising the gun in time.

It is true that corpse-scented konjac cannot eat humans, but the smell it emits can confuse people’s hearts, which is even more amazing than the round light demon spell of the old raccoon head on the ancient raccoon monument.

Quietly.

It can bring people into a fantasy world.

If it really breaks into pieces, the corpse energy will overflow and blend into the surroundings. At that time, they can hold their breath, seal their five senses and six consciousnesses, and perhaps avoid it.

But there are dozens of guys around.

After all, they are just ordinary people.

It’s impossible to guard against it.

If you are dragged into an illusion, it will be completely irrational.

Killing each other without even realizing it.

It took a lot of effort to get to this point, overcoming various threats of death from low temperatures, severe cold, and deserts, but in the end, he died in the hands of his own people before he could touch gold.

That is the real great horror.

“okay.”

Seeing shopkeeper Chen speak, Yang Fang scratched his head and put away the gun in a sarcastic tone.

“Brother Chen, does he have a way to deal with it?”

Seeing that he looked calm and unfazed, Partridge Whistle hesitated.

“Mr. Chen has indeed heard about this corpse flower.”

Chen Yulou had no intention of hiding anything.

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts were lifted.

Especially Kunlun and Yang Fang, both of them had an almost mindless admiration for him.

There is no existence in this world that can rarely live as a shopkeeper.

“Brother Chen, just ask.”

Partridge whistles are also commonplace.

If one day, Chen Yulou appears at a loss, then he is probably in unprecedented trouble.

Seeing his brows raised and his expression stern, he opened his mouth and whipped it in.

Chen Yulou couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Talk and act with such smart people.

It will save a lot of effort.

“Brother Dao, please go down with me. The corpse flower is indeed not cannibalistic, but it will cause great trouble for us to open the coffin and visit the tomb.”

“good!”

There was no hesitation.

Partridge Whistle agreed directly.

“Then I…”

After hearing the two people’s brief words, the tone had been set, and Yang Fang and the other three couldn’t help but feel a little impatient.

But then he spoke.

Chen Yulou seemed to have expected it.

“You guys can’t rest either.”

Pointing around the cliff.

Under the firelight of dozens of wind lanterns, torches and lanterns, the darkness was driven away, and the situation beneath him could be roughly seen.

This is an underground cave that is even larger than the previous stone palace.

It should be formed naturally.

However, there are also many traces of man-made factors.

The stone platform extends outwards, and the surrounding area closes inward, spiraling upward. The stone walls are jagged with rugged rocks, and occasionally traces of murals or ghost cave inscriptions can be seen flashing past.

This is clearly an altar.

It can be imagined that when the queen was buried thousands of years ago, the funeral procession sank the huge coffin to the bottom of the cliff from here, and the subjects worshiped the royal tomb here.

“Look for a high place, a favorable position, and protect the formation for me and my Taoist brother.”

“Yes, from the shopkeeper.”

Kunlun didn’t even think about it and went straight to the rock closest to the bottom of the cliff.

Yang Fang, who was a step too late, didn’t have time to show too much joy. He glanced at the old foreigner next to him and saw that he didn’t seem to be planning to leave yet. He immediately cupped his hands, jumped forward, stepped on the cliff and jumped to the other side.

With its back against rocks, it has a place to stay but is not too narrow to stretch out.

“Senior Brother, Shopkeeper Chen, I’m going too.”

Seeing the two people leaving, the old foreigner didn’t dare to delay. He glanced around, and finally his eyes lit up, and he found a place that was most suitable for him.

“good.”

“Be careful.” The old foreigner nodded.

He took out the Sky-Diamond Rope from his backpack, stood on the edge of the cliff and threw it away.

The cold light flickered on the sharp hook rope, cutting through the thick black fog, and soon there was a ding-dong sound. The old foreigner tried to pull it, and the rope was stretched straight, after confirming that it could bear his own weight.

He took a few steps back.

Take a deep breath.

With the momentum, he was completely shaken out.

Amidst the roaring of the wind, the wind lantern hanging on his shoulder remained on.

With extremely fast speed, almost in the blink of an eye, he crossed the sky above the entire cave and appeared outside the opposite stone wall.

By the light of the fire on his shoulder, he stared at a spot on the stone wall.

The light and shadow in that place are obviously much darker than in other places.

Based on past experience, he can easily judge it.

It was an alcove.

At the moment when he was approaching, the old foreigner’s eyes gleamed, and the hand wrapped around the Tiantiansuo was released directly. Just relying on the momentum of the swing, the whole person jumped into the cave on the cliff.

The moment of landing.

His eyes swept around like knives.

The cave is not too deep, only about two feet, and there are still many obvious marks of knife and ax chiseling on the stone walls, and the stone chips on the ground have not been cleaned up.

Because of the underground river flowing through it.

The air in the cave is extremely humid.

The flowing mist seems to seep out water with just a slight squeeze.

There are countless water droplets condensed on the stone wall. When illuminated by the fire, countless sparks are immediately reflected, looking like the raw ore stone of crystal emerald.

But these did not attract the attention of the old foreigners.

After landing, all his attention was attracted by a stone statue enshrined in the niche.

It was a stone man about half a man tall.

It is different from the giant-eyed stone figures commonly seen inside and outside the ancient city.

The stone statue is wearing a long robe, with a black snake wrapped around its hand, and its eyes are deep.

It looked like he was a wizard serving ghosts and gods.

This kind of people are common in small countries like Xiye and Gumo, but this is the first time for Jingjue Ancient Country.

The ghost cave people believe in the ‘god’ who controls the imaginary space.

But only Queen Jingjue can communicate with it.

No one else does it.

Now that he saw this stone statue, he realized that this was not the case.

After looking at it carefully, I confirmed that there was no other danger.

The old foreigner stopped thinking about it.

He casually hung the wind lantern on the snake in the stone man’s hand.

The black snake was carved lifelike, with its body curled up just right, and its tail just enough to hook the iron chain of the wind lantern.

The light is bright and shines all around.

He also took off the dragon shooting bow.

Every time they go to the grave to fight, whenever they encounter danger, the three brothers and sisters have always been like this.

When the senior brother rushes into the formation, he is responsible for the long-distance attack, while Hua Ling waits for opportunities to raid the formation.

The three of them worked together seamlessly.

Almost never fails.

Although the person who raided the formation today was replaced by Yang Fang, the fact that he was sitting at a high place and patrolling all directions had already penetrated deeply into his bones.

It became a habit.

At this moment, slowly lift the bow string.

Just in case, the old foreigner put the quiver aside and leaned against the stone wall to ensure that if there was real danger, he could draw his bow and shoot the arrow as quickly as possible.

“Walk!”

Seeing the three of them take their respective positions.

Chen Yulou did not hesitate.

He walked straight to the top of the cliff, activated the magic method, and people jumped down like blue smoke.

Although Partridge Whistle also possesses the skill of taking advantage of the light body, it is ultimately inferior to Taoist magic, let alone in such a dangerous place, just a light tap on the abdomen and ribs.

In an instant.

Under the robe he was wearing, there was a crackle of loudspeaker sound immediately.

The people nearby were surprised when they heard it.

The Bishan lineage is too secretive. Even though they have been together for a long time, most of them have only heard of the cave armor and the mountain reclamation technique.

I was completely confused about the sudden mechanical sound.

But Partridge Whistle didn’t mean to explain at all.

He just jumped up, and at the moment when he was on the cliff, iron chains made of fine steel shot out from under his robe like lightning, and went straight into the stone wall.

The falling momentum slowed down a lot.

The people above saw him moving around like a gecko in the misty cliffs, and they couldn’t help but let out bursts of exclamations.

My eyes widened.

They thought that Yang Fang and the old foreigner’s skills were unimaginable. After meeting Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, they realized that there are people outside the world.

“Old Zhao, aren’t you known as Xiaoqian? Are you sure you can catch up with Leader Yang?”

“What the **** are you thinking? With my little means, let alone catching up, it’s just a luxury to even catch a glimpse of her.”

The young man’s face turned red.

He is actually quite confident in his own abilities.

But these are not ordinary people who cannot bear it.

If I had to compare them, it would be Shi Qian and Dai Zong. No matter how good their martial arts skills were, they couldn’t compare to the Taoist sect’s ability to travel thousands of miles a day.

“Shhh.”

“Keep your voices down, don’t delay the important task of always taking charge of them.”

Someone reminds me.

No one dared to speak anymore.

The flickering lights reflected nervous faces.

Carefully step on the top of the cliff and lean down to look down.

Deep in the mist-shrouded cliff.

The partridge whistle retracted the last hook, took out a wind lantern and lit it.

It echoes the one in Chen Yulou’s hand not far away.

The darkness, as thick as ink, dispersed little by little, gradually illuminating the situation at the bottom of the cave.

It was almost the same as what I saw above my head just now.

Apart from the huge coffin and the gold and silver everywhere, the most numerous things in the cave are ghost cave inscriptions.

Stone beams, rock walls, black rocks and even scattered rocks are densely packed, and they look like… Taoist talismans and Tantric scriptures used to suppress demons.

Partridge Whistle didn’t even look at the gold and jade artifacts all over the ground.

Just quickly approach Chen Yulou.

At this moment, he was standing under the severed Kunlun Sacred Tree, staring at the corpse flower growing on the section, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Brother Chen…what does it smell like?”

As soon as he got close, before he could say anything, Partridge Whistle suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance.

It was different from any other mushroom scent he had ever seen.

Not like a medicinal herb.

It’s more like… the smell that comes from grinding some kind of ore into powder.

“Concentrate your energy!”

Chen Yulou, who was thinking about how to deal with this, changed his face slightly and reminded him in a low voice.

Although he didn’t know the cause, his years of experience in fighting in graves told him that this extraordinary smell was definitely not a good sign.

What’s more, the records of this flower in the Secret Records of Moving Mountains are extremely terrifying.

Almost subconsciously.

All the orifices around his body quickly closed.

“what’s the situation?”

After doing all this, he looked in front of him and asked in a low voice.

“This ghost flower can captivate the soul and fascinate the mind. If you are not careful, you will be caught. Don’t swallow the breath hastily.”

Listen to his explanation.

Partridge Whistle’s heart suddenly sank.

No wonder it is said to be the underworld on the other side. Isn’t this man-eating soul falling into the underworld?

“Then what does Brother Chen plan to do?”

Partridge Whistle thought for a moment, and felt that the bright ghost flower had an indescribable sense of enchantment, especially those petals, which were like an open eye, always present. Spying on people.

All his methods can suppress corpses and subjugate monsters, but it seems difficult to destroy it without letting any breath leak out.

“I’m responsible for sealing off the surrounding area.”

“Brother Dao, cut off its roots in the shortest possible time.”

“Then the fire is burned out, and then maybe something can be done.” (End of Chapter)
