The other party's cold attitude sobered her up a lot. Mengbai took a deep breath and then asked:
"I heard from Ling'er that you helped her get rid of the Soul-Destroying Sorrow in her body..."
Duanhunshang is the ultimate method used by the fourth master to control his subordinates. No matter what their cultivation level is, a single thought from the latter can kill them in front of the fourth master!
This is also the fundamental reason why they obey Fourth Master’s words.
As for Xia Ling's statement that the boss is not under Duanhunshang's control, that is just a method used by their own subordinates. In fact, they are essentially the fourth master's puppets.
Feng He had made a mistake in his work before, and they had witnessed with their own eyes that the fourth master had taken Feng He's human form and spirit out of his body. This was one of the effects of Soul-Destroying Shang.
No one would feel comfortable if their wealth and life were at the discretion of others.
After Qin Shaoyou heard Meng Bai's words, his face immediately darkened.
"It seems that you learned a lot of information from Xia Ling..."
Mengbai was slightly shaken and immediately said:
"Don't get me wrong, Xia Ling is fine..."
At this moment, Qin Shaoyou's expression had dropped to freezing point. Just because Mengbai threatened him with the painting before, he already had murderous intention in his heart. If he didn't want to get more information about his senior sister from her, he would not have done it at all.
Will take action to save her.
Mengbai saw his gloomy face and hurriedly explained:
"Ling'er and I are good sisters. When she was forced to get married, I was the one who solved the trouble for her. I..."
"Enough!"
Qin Shaoyou would not believe her nonsense. If it was as she said, how could she let Xia Ling carry out such a dangerous mission in the first place?
It's all just double talk.
"It's okay if you want me to help you get rid of the soul-destroying sorrow, but you have to have a price worthy of my offer!"
Mengbai understood and immediately took out the scroll from his arms and handed it back to Qin Shaoyou.
"I do know the whereabouts of this woman, but..."
"Her identity is very special..."
Qin Shaoyou frowned, and a chill flashed in his eyes.
"All right..."
Meng Bai sighed softly and continued:
"This person's name is Bai Xiyao. She is a saint from the Tiansheng Palace of Shenzhou. Forty years ago, she descended to earth to experience life. After returning to the palace for ten years, she never came out again..."
Tiansheng Palace is the number one immortal palace in the world with the same name as Piaomiao Palace. Compared with the latter, the activities of Tiansheng Palace are more secretive. If it weren't for Fengyun Pavilion, most people would not know that such a behemoth exists in Shenzhou.
.
When Qin Shaoyou was secretly frightened, he heard Meng Bai say again:
"If nothing else happens, the Saint will be the next palace master of Tiansheng Palace..."
"...Are you sure she is the one you are looking for?"
His heart suddenly shook, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tremble.
"You are too lenient!"
Qin Shaoyou snatched the scroll from her hand and put it into his storage bag.
"Don't you want to get rid of Duanhunshang? Come in with me!"
He walked towards a room without saying anything. Mengbai hesitated for a moment and followed him. After the two entered the room, Qin Shaoyou then set up a soundproof barrier...
...
Another place, a Zen monastery.
Mr. Feng sat upright on a futon, with his five hearts in the sky. At this time, his originally calm face became extremely ferocious, and there was a hint of black energy on the back of his hands, his neck, and even under his chest.
Wandering.
Suddenly, he opened his blood-red eyes and spat out a large mouthful of black blood. The black blood splashed onto the floor and melted through it in just an instant!
Feng Lao gritted his teeth, tremblingly took out a green jade bottle from his arms, took out a gray pill, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
After a long time, he finally regained his breath a little.
"Death energy and spiritual energy cannot coexist, so I entered the secret realm of the cave on the first level. As soon as I took action, the old injury recurred again..."
A trace of loneliness flashed through Feng Lao's eyes, which was like the sadness of a hero in his twilight years.
"In order to unlock the secrets of this fairy sect, your family has been burdened with too much..."
He was talking to himself intermittently, as if babbling, and his expression became dazed for a while.
"I know you hate me, but I can't help it..."
"The Fusion Realm should not be the end for monks like us, and this Immortal Sect should not be our guillotine... There must be a way!"
Feng Lao really seemed to be going crazy, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and sometimes in a daze without saying a word. This situation lasted for at least ten hours before it got better.
Finally, he took a deep breath, and his eyes returned to clarity.
Time passed quickly, and the sky in this secret realm finally became dark.
In the yard, Qin Yun was carefully controlling the eighteen Tiangang flying blades, "discussing" skills with Mu Pingyi. The latter also took out an iron rod and swung it around, and the two were fighting equally.
.
Fortunately, the barrier set up by Feng Lao was strong enough, so the outside world couldn't hear any movement despite their commotion.
Not long after, Qin Shaoyou and Meng Bai walked out of the room one after another. The latter's face was slightly flushed, his feet were shaking a little, and he could hardly stand still.
When she thought of Qin Shaoyou spying so unscrupulously on her body just now, a strange feeling emerged in her heart.
She didn't understand until just now that the soul-destroying death didn't only exist in the immortal soul, it existed in the blood all over the body. Moreover, it was not a poison, but a very tiny insect.
In Qin Shaoyou's words, this is called "gu insect"!
This kind of bug is so small that it cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. According to Qin Shaoyou's inference, these Gu bugs that exist in their bodies are just daughter bugs, and the daughter bugs can only obey the orders of the mother bug. Therefore, the Fourth Master must have some control over it.
The method of a female insect!
In addition, the "antidote" they drink every year is not actually an antidote, but a poisonous soup that allows the parasites in their bodies to "extend their lives." If they can survive the poisonous insects and cannot drink this poisonous soup, they will
When the backlash is triggered, the Gu worms in their bodies will die completely.
Of course, no one has dared to actually try this kind of behavior so far, so they will always be at the mercy of the Fourth Master.
The reason why Qin Shaoyou was able to discover the secret of soul-breaking death was actually thanks to Xia Ling.
The reason why some of Duanhunshang's Gu worms surround the Immortal Soul is to confuse the perception of the spirit above the Immortal Soul, so that the spirit of the person who has been poisoned cannot perceive the existence of these Gu worms, but this confusion
The "disguise" of sex is useless to outsiders.
At that time, Xia Ling was completely defenseless against him, and every corner of her body was open to prying eyes with Qin Shaoyou's spiritual thoughts. Only then did he discover the clues and used the breath of heaven to completely kill the Gu insects in Xia Ling's body.
For Qin Shaoyou, because he was poisoned for a short time and the breath of heaven was in his body, it didn't take long for him to get rid of the poisonous insects in his body after seeing the true form of the poisonous insects.
As for the current Mengbai, she had been poisoned for more than twenty years, and the number of Gu worms in her body was dozens of times that of Xia Ling's, so it took Qin Shaoyou such a long time.
By the time all this was done, both parties were already sweating profusely.
When it was over, Qin Shaoyou just said coldly, "We're settled," and took the lead to open the door and go out.
Just when the two of them appeared in the courtyard, Feng Lao also walked out of the Zen courtyard. At this time, he had completely concealed his embarrassing appearance and became immortal again.
He glanced at the sky and said:
"Night is about to fall, and the entrance to the second level of the secret realm will be opened at the moment before dark. The opening time will be very short, no longer than a stick of incense. By then we will definitely encounter people from other sects. Everyone needs to follow closely.
I!"
Qin Yun and Mu Pingyi stopped competing. Qin Shaoyou and Meng Bai also stepped forward after hearing this, but their current appearance was easily misleading.
Feng Lao glanced at the two of them lightly and then withdrew his gaze.
He took out four brass compasses and four identical maps from his arms, and handed them to the four people respectively.
"After entering from the entrance of the secret realm, we will be randomly teleported to various parts of the secret realm. This is the positioning compass and the secret realm map. Everyone takes one and gathers at the ruins of the Immortal Palace in the central area as quickly as possible, heading to the third floor.
The entrance to the secret realm is right there!”
"The effective sensing range of the compass is a thousand miles in radius. If the transmission distance is similar, you can merge first."
"I have a few blood escape talismans here. Please take one. It may save your life at a critical moment."
In fact, the trip to the secret realm of the cave is very dangerous. With the current cultivation level of the few of them, they should not take the risk, but Mr. Feng can’t wait any longer. The secret realm of the cave opens once every sixty years, and he is not sure about the next six
Ten years later, will he still be alive?
or...
Can Mu Qing regain his sanity...
Qin Shaoyou's heart tightened when he heard this. He unconsciously glanced at Qin Yun beside him, and involuntarily began to worry about her safety.
Then, he took the positioning compass and map handed over by Feng Lao, carefully observed the latter, and saw that it only roughly marked the azimuth relationship between several locations, as well as the approximate distance between them, and said
To be honest, there is not much difference between having such a map and not having one.
"These are the several places I have explored over the years. Among them, I have marked the areas that are very dangerous for you with red circles. You must not get close!"
Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes and scanned the side carefully. He was surprised to find that on the map of the second level of the secret realm, in addition to some places marked with powerful undead creatures, there were also several places that said "Ruins of such and such".
words.
Since this is a ruin, it was naturally a place where humans lived before. Are there any local monks in this secret realm?
"Elder, why are these places in ruins?"
"Is there anyone here?"
Qin Yun asked Qin Shaoyou's doubts for him. In fact, not only the two of them, but Mu Pingyi and Meng Bai also noticed this.
"I can't tell you the specific situation, but I have been investigating for a while before, and I once found a record in the library of the palace of a small country in the South China Sea."
"It is said that when the Immortal Gate was broken, a scene from another world appeared in the sky on the coast of the South China Sea, with clouds and mist shrouding it like a fairyland."
"But this situation only lasted for a short period of time and then disappeared. Those historians called this phenomenon a mirage."
"I think it is possible that things are really like those recorded by mortals. When the Heaven-Slaying Man smashed the Immortal Gate, he unintentionally opened up our world and other worlds. This is how the secret realm of the cave came to be.
..."
Feng Lao spoke eloquently, but Qin Shaoyou felt like thunder exploded in his heart after hearing the words.
Another world!?
Did he also come to this world like this?
"The world...is really...interesting!"
He sighed suddenly, which was profound and long, but it made everyone else look at him with puzzled expressions.
