When Gu Qiulong saw this, his expression changed for a moment, and he took out a large number of spiritual stones from his storage bag to replace them.
This situation has happened several times. During this period, Gu Qiulong almost spent more than two thousand spirit stones. His originally calm and composed face gradually turned into a frown, and a lot of blood oozed from his forehead.
beads of sweat.
It was the ninth time that he had replaced the magic circle spirit stones. When he had almost exhausted all the spirit stones in the storage bag, a sudden change occurred. As a thunder sounded from above, a pillar suddenly appeared on the purple wooden pillar.
A dazzling lightning flashed down the wooden pillars, seemingly attracting the natural lightning outside, causing the entire dungeon space to shake violently.
The purple magic circle on the stone platform also suddenly lit up, and its speed accelerated several times. A stream of white spiritual power poured out from the spiritual stones and poured into the winged bird egg.
The dazzling arcs on the purple wooden pillars were also absorbed by the stone array, transforming them into softer thunder and lightning power, which was poured into the winged bird eggs.
Purple electric arcs appeared on the winged bird egg, the bright and dim lines on the surface disappeared, and the blood color also faded a lot.
Seeing this, Gu Qiulong stared at the blood egg motionlessly, with an extremely nervous expression on his face.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he basically understood the whole story. It turned out that Gu Qiulong was coveting the eggs of the winged bird and had tied Gu Qiu Ming here.
When he first arrived in Xiaohu City, he did not immediately go to Zhenling Pavilion to hatch the eggs because he was afraid that this would happen. Later, when he met an old acquaintance named Gu Qiuming, he went there with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, things were still developing in the direction he was worried about.
.
This winged bird egg was not only extremely precious, but was also given to him by Xiying. Naturally, he couldn't give up. His thoughts were turning rapidly in his mind, and he began to think of countermeasures.
Just after thinking about it, he still didn't have much clue. After all, he had to find the opponent's location first, which made him quite troubled.
Even though the Zhenling Sect is not as good as the Changchun Temple, there are still monks in the alchemy stage. He is not an outsider who can search and move around at will.
"Gu Qiulong, if you are willing to return this egg, I can pretend that this has never happened. In addition, in return, I can tell you the traces of another thunder-attributed spiritual beast." Gu Qiuming suddenly opened his eyes and said
.
"What spiritual beast?" Gu Qiulong turned around and looked up, asking in surprise. "Thunder Beast!" Gu Qiuming said slowly.
"It's really the Thunderworm? Where is it?" Gu Qiulong was overjoyed, and his attention temporarily turned away from the blood egg.
The Thunder Lobster is a rare monster with thunder attributes. Its strength can reach level 1 when it reaches adulthood. Its value as a spirit beast is extremely high, no less than that of the Winged Bird.
"It's in the Yuxu swamp, less than a hundred miles away. The thunderworm beast is still a young beast, and it has just entered the second level. I also accidentally discovered the traces of this beast. As long as you can return the winged bird egg to Ha Gongdao
Friend, I will take you to capture that thunder worm beast. Gu Qiuming said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. The Zhenling Sect was located two hundred miles away from Xiaohu City and the Yuxu Swamp. This meant that Gu Qiuming and the two were not in the Zhenling Sect at the moment!
He had always thought that the two of them were somewhere in the Zhenling Sect, so he was at a loss. If the two of them were outside, things would be much easier to handle.
While Yuan Ming continued to listen to the conversation between the two, he looked at the dungeon environment attentively, trying to discern some clues.
The dungeon was extremely humid, with water droplets constantly emerging from the walls and flowing downwards. In such a humid and watery environment, it seemed that the two of them were indeed near the Yuxu Swamp. But other than that, there was no other useful information around.
Yuan Ming tried his best to mobilize the power of his soul and tried to spread it out, but he couldn't do it at all. There seemed to be an invisible cover around his soul, and the soul power could not break through at all. "It seems that I was able to spread the soul power before, indeed.
It's caused by the improvement in the quality of black incense." Yuan Ming secretly thought.
At this moment, he suddenly looked upward.
A long bell sounded from above, and then it rang four more times, and then there were more bells, seven, eight, and twelve.
"Rising, falling four, tight seven, slow eight, flat twelve. This is the Taoist temple bell. Is there a Taoist temple nearby?"
Yuan Ming knew the source of the bell as soon as he heard it. Just as he was about to continue listening, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness, but the possession time ended.
Yuan Ming's consciousness returned to his original form, and after a moment of silence he stood up and walked out, quickly leaving the Zhenling Sect. He did not summon the Qingyun Crane or sacrifice the magic weapon, but used the Wind Swiftness Technique to fly towards Xiaohu City first.
At the same time, the Taoist figure also left the Zhenling Sect quietly, following Yuan Ming far behind, but he was a disciple of the Zhenling Sect.
The leader is a bald man, and the other two are a tall and lanky young man, and a young woman with heavy make-up. The bald man's cultivation has reached the foundation-building stage, while the tall and lanky young man and the young woman with heavy make-up are both at the peak of Qi refining.
The person obviously used a concealment talisman or magical weapon. Not only was his aura vaguely present, but his body shape also blended into the surrounding environment, making it difficult to detect.
Yuan Ming quickly advanced forty or fifty miles, and a dense black pine forest appeared nearby. He suddenly deviated from the direction and swept into the woods. The people following him were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly quickened their pace and entered the black pine forest, but here
There is no trace of Yuan Ming anymore.
"Did that person discover us? He wanted to try to escape!" The tall and thin young man looked ugly.
"Have you found your kingfisher?" The bald man looked at the young woman with heavy makeup.
The young woman put her fingers to her lips and whistled. A blue crow fell from a nearby big tree, landed on the shoulder of the young woman with heavy makeup, and chirped several times.
"Kingfisher said that the man walked under this big tree and suddenly disappeared," the young woman said.
"Disappeared suddenly? Did he use a concealment spell..." The bald man muttered to himself with his sparse eyebrows furrowed.
Before he finished speaking, his legs suddenly became weak and his body began to sway.
"No, someone used poison..." The bald man suddenly changed his color. The same was true for the lanky young man and the young woman with heavy makeup. The two of them were in even worse condition. They fell to the ground one after another and fell into coma. The same was true for the blue bird.
The bald man suddenly felt light-headed and in a daze. He reached for the storage bag on his waist with difficulty, as if he wanted to take out something. However, his hand was only halfway out, and his consciousness was completely blurred, and he fell to the ground.
Yuan Ming, wearing the gray cloak, walked out from behind the big tree, holding the Heaven Stealing Cauldron with an extinguished incense stick inserted in it.
This is a seven-step incense stick. He mixed the poisonous flowers he got from the flower branches into it, which greatly increased the toxicity of the incense. The effect was really good, and the bald man, a monk in the foundation building period, was easily fascinated.
Yuan Ming put away the Heaven-stealing Cauldron, came to the bald man, held his head with one hand, and used his soul-searching power, and soon discovered something. The bald man's name was Zheng Da, and he was originally a casual cultivator near Xiaohu City.
Later, he curried favor with Gu Qiulong and joined the Zhenling Sect, doing some dirty things for Gu Qiulong on weekdays.
This time, he and two others followed Gu Qiulong's order to monitor Yuan Ming, and then waited for Gu Qiulong's order to kill Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming was not angry, but instead showed joy on his face. Zheng Da received this order from Gu Qiulong a few days ago. The two met in a mountain forest outside Zhenling Sect. After Gu Qiulong gave the order, he flew towards the southwest, where
It is exactly the direction of Yuxu Swamp. Gu Qiulong may not have actually gone to the southwest, but this is an important clue that can be referenced.
Yuan Ming then performed a soul search on the other two people, and the information he learned was far less detailed than that of the bald man, but the meaning was similar. He then took away the person's stored magic weapon, flicked a water arrow with his fingers, and penetrated the person's eyebrows. This
Since someone wants to kill him, Yuan Ming will naturally not let him go.
He then sent out another fireball, turning the body into ashes, crushing the bones and scattering ashes. He carefully wiped out all traces in the woods before stopping.
After doing this, Yuan Ming immediately took out a map around Xiaohu City and searched southwest from Zhenling Sect. Yuan Ming suddenly found a Taoist temple in the southwest of Zhenling Sect, near the Yuxu Swamp, named
"Huan Shui Yun Guan".
"It should be right here!" He didn't waste any time and rushed there immediately.
Shuiyun Taoist Temple is a secular Taoist temple built between two hills. It has a tall gate and a majestic temple. It covers an area of 20 acres and is full of incense. At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and many rooms in the Taoist temple are still bright.
Light up.
Yuan Ming did not enter rashly. He stopped outside Shuiyun Temple and released a soul crow to investigate. At the same time, he called out flower branches and asked it to search for it on the ground.
Time passed little by little, and neither the soul crow nor the flower branches had been harvested yet.
Just when Yuan Ming was secretly anxious, the dark clouds in the sky lowered, and it started pouring rain again. A thick thunder and lightning burst out from the clouds, tearing apart the dark night sky.
The tail end of the thunder and lightning swept behind Shuiyun Temple, and suddenly turned around, as if it was attracted by something.
Yuan Ming recalled what he saw when he was possessed, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately took up the white jade shuttle and flew there. At the same time, he spread his consciousness and quickly discovered something.
"Sure enough, this is it!" He stopped and looked at a high ground not far away.
A purple-black wooden pillar protruded from the ground there. It was the same purple-black wooden pillar that he saw when he was possessed. The top was scorched black. Yuan Ming took out a yellow talisman. This was from his talisman shop in Xiaohu City.
, the earth-escape talisman purchased at a high price has similar effects to the earth-traveling talisman, and both can escape underground.
He collected two soul crows, leaving only one to guard outside, and activated the Earth Escape Talisman to sneak into the ground. Huazhi also came to the back mountain at this moment, and lurked down from the other side.
Yuan
Ming followed the thunder-inducing purple wood downwards and easily found the basement. He hid in a corner and secretly looked toward the dungeon.
In the dungeon, Gu Qiulong was still trying his best to activate the magic circle to hatch the winged bird eggs, but did not notice the movement outside.
But Gu Qiuming was still locked in the dungeon, his clothes were messy, his nose
His face was bruised and swollen, and it seemed that the negotiation between the two ended in failure, and Gu Qiuming was even beaten.
The shape of the winged bird egg placed in the center of the magic circle changed drastically at this moment. All the blood on the eggshell had disappeared. Instead, the whole body was flashing bright silver, and there were even traces of lightning flashing on it.
Not only that, there were two thin cracks in the eggshell, making it look like it was about to break.
