Chapter 150: The First Appearance of Mandrill Harm
On this day, Gu Changsheng came to the 'Zhenbian Pavilion' where Peng Liang was located to retrieve the spiritual stones that had belonged to him for the past ten years.
However, the actual spirit stones obtained were only two-thirds of what was expected, and the rest were used to strengthen the peripheral restrictions of the 'Hundred Poison Swamp'. These were daily losses. Peng Liang had already spoken about it, and Gu Changsheng did not pay attention.
After all, the reason why Jiuxiao Sect is willing to give such a high monthly salary is because there are very few cultivators stationed here. Only a few people can maintain general stability, relying on these peripheral restrictions with poisonous mist.
After the two chatted casually for a few words, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but ask the other party about the poisonous miasma.
Peng Liang frowned, took a deep look at Gu Changsheng, and said without much hesitation:
"You also know that we are very short of manpower here. To guard such a large area, it is not enough for just a few of us cultivators!"
"Especially those monsters that come out of the poisonous swamp are not afraid of simple magic circle restrictions. Only by relying on the poisonous miasma to trap them in the magic circle for a long time can they be gradually eliminated."
"That's why we have reached the current consensus. Take one-third of your monthly gift and mix it with the poisonous mist I developed to create a continuous poisonous miasma area and absorb all the things that escape from the poisonous miasma.
Block back!"
"But it is a pity that this method may not last long. My end is approaching, and there will be a shortage of people who are proficient in poison refining in the future. If the corresponding poison cannot be refined in large quantities, the poisonous miasma area cannot be formed. Those
I’m afraid something is really going to escape!”
"Now we are encountering a difficult problem. The poisonous miasma that was just formed some time ago has inexplicably dissipated on its own in the past few days. I have checked the poisonous formations and found no traces of leakage.
It’s really puzzling where those poisonous miasmas went!”
"And a strange thing happened recently. Lu Zhi and Cheng Tianlei, who were stationed here with me, discovered that some disciples of our sect had broken into the lake while patrolling.
People were brought out, but all of these people have lost their recent memories! Since you know about 'Ghost Kabuto', you should also know something about 'Hundred Mandrills', I'm afraid..."
When Peng Liang said this, he paused for a moment, with a solemn look on his face.
"There has been a rumor among the sect recently that anyone who wants to become an immortal should look for the 'Xiaoyao Immortal'. These disciples must have been bewitched by this rumor and entered that area. I have already mentioned this matter to the sect leader.
This deceitful talk must be severely investigated and dealt with. However, the leader's attitude is very strange. He doesn't seem to take this matter very seriously and just gives me a perfunctory sentence."
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng smiled meaningfully. In his opinion, this head brother Ye Feng is definitely not a good bird!
Logically speaking, the 'Hundred Mandrills' are not a very secret matter. With Peng Liang's reminder, Ye Feng should be able to find this part of the information in the Tianji Tower. He should know the consequences if a group of 'Hundred Mandrills' were sneaked into the sect.
How serious will it be?
However, Peng Liang has made his words so clear, but Ye Feng is still pretending to be stupid. It must be that some big shots in Jiuxiao Sect have their own evil intentions.
"This 'Hundred Mandrill' is extremely harmful. If you are not careful, you may be wiped out. The 'Skeleton Ming Sect' was destroyed by Chunyangzi's people overnight because of many strange things that suddenly happened." Peng
Liang sighed softly and said something with emotion that surprised Gu Changsheng secretly.
"Has he forgotten the disaster back then? Isn't he afraid that Jiuxiao Sect will become the 'Xiao Xian Sect' of the past? "
The little old man seemed to have a lot of opinions on Head Ye Feng, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
Later, he even spit and cursed!
Gu Changsheng quickly persuaded him to stop, and Peng Liang continued to bring the topic back to the harm caused by the 'Hundred Mandrills'.
"What I'm worried about is that the 'Hundred Mandrills' use their various changes to pretend to be members of the Jiuxiao Sect, use beauty or impossible promises to lure low-level monks into being deceived, and then secretly devour these people."
"When the spiritual energy they have swallowed is large enough, they will think of ways to seize the Immortal Peak and devour a certain Danjie Ancestor and his disciples. Then they will create greater chaos and use various weird events to make people panic...
…”
This is the most common way for 'Hundred Mandrills' to create ghost disasters. If there is no external force to stop it, a sect can usually be completely killed within a few decades.
However, the 'Hundred Mandrills' are not without their weaknesses, because the devoured spiritual power will be quickly dissipated, and their fighting skills are very strong. Once they encounter a monk who is at the Nascent Soul stage or above, they will be easily distinguished by the opponent's spiritual consciousness.
After losing their disguise, the 'Hundred Mandrills' are just a bunch of weak chickens, which is why ghost disasters like 'Hundred Mandrills' come and go quickly.
As long as the higher-ups in the sect pay enough attention, they can prevent it in advance and avoid disaster.
But what makes Gu Changsheng feel strange is why Peng Liang would talk about these things in detail in front of him?
Ten years ago, the two had talked about this topic. Gu Changsheng tried to test it a little, but Peng Liang had a strong reaction. He was not willing to talk about it with others at all.
However, today Peng Liang took the initiative to talk about this matter and said it in great detail. Could it be that this guy was too poisoned to talk nonsense here?
"Senior Brother Peng, there is no need to worry too much. As long as Patriarch Yunxiao comes out of seclusion, the disaster caused by the 'Hundred Mandrills' will not be a concern." Gu Changsheng became wary and said tentatively.
"It seems that the old guy is right. Junior Brother Gu is a sensible person and does know a lot of inside information!" Peng Liang's face suddenly turned gloomy, he squinted his eyes and stared at Gu Changsheng's eyes, and continued coldly.
, "If you hadn't experienced it personally, you would never know so many details. Are you also one of the survivors?"
"I am not a survivor back then, and you are not the real Senior Brother Peng! Your Excellency's transformation technique is really powerful, and there are not many people who can make you misunderstand me!"
Gu Changsheng replied lightly, and his body floated several feet away in an instant, with a virtual thunder whip in his hand.
"Middle stage of foundation building! Your progress is so rapid. It seems that we must get rid of you today, so as not to ruin our big event in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other person's body shape and face began to distort, changing from a frail, thin old man to a middle-aged man in the prime of life.
With a sound of "Pa!", Gu Changsheng turned around violently, and the thunder whip struck the dark place behind him with an electric arc.
A golden light flashed, and a cloud of mist suddenly flew out of the person who was hiding behind and wanted to sneak attack, and then the person's body collapsed like liquid!
"How is that possible!" The middle-aged man who had not yet completed his transformation was shocked.
Gu Changsheng immediately took out the 'Demon Poison Blood Soul Flag' and waved it hard, and several ghost heads flew out from the flag and rushed towards the mist that had just escaped.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuah..." Guitou and Daogui were chasing and fighting in the air. The middle-aged man on the other side had completed his transformation and was taking out his magical weapon and wanted to take action.
However, the 'Fire Sun Pearl' in Gu Changsheng's hand had already emitted dazzling light.
"No!" No matter how stupid the middle-aged man was, he knew that he could not withstand such a blow, so he hurriedly turned to avoid it.
Gu Changsheng did not take action against him, but aimed at the pool of liquid on the ground and directly threw the 'Fire Sun Pearl' in his hand.
"Yeah..." When the golden light dazzled the eyes, the liquid immediately turned into rolling and boiling clouds, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Countless evil spirits emerged from the golden light and fled around.
The Tao ghosts that were running around in the air were bitten by the skulls and dragged into the black flag.
A golden light of merit fell and disappeared into Gu Changsheng's body.
When the middle-aged man saw that the trump card in his hand was destroyed by his opponent in the blink of an eye, he knew that the opponent's magical weapon was very powerful and that he was no match for him. He immediately trembled and was so frightened that he didn't care about using the magical weapon and hurriedly ran away.
But before he could escape from the door, he felt a heat in his chest, and a thunder whip tied him tightly. Then his eyes glowed with golden light, and his body suddenly burned fiercely. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man turned into a raging fire.
ash!
After dealing with the evil-minded villain, Gu Changsheng quickly found Peng Liang, who was knocked unconscious in the room next to him, and revived him without much effort.
"Cough cough cough..."
"For some unknown reason, Lu Zhi turned into a 'Hundred Mandrill', and Cheng Tianlei seemed to have been taken away from his body..."
Peng Liang recounted what happened during this period.
