Chen Xiong's roar reverberated in his ears, mixed with a terrifying pressure, causing Gongsun Xiu to tremble with fear. His lips trembled and he was unable to speak.
However, her mind was abnormally nimble, and her mind raced rapidly. If she wasn't wrong, the "he" that the zombie was talking about should be the man in green, or someone who was related to the man in green, such as an ancestor, or a senior of the sect …
Among all the people in the world, only "he" had an agreement with the mummy. What was the identity of the zombie and the man in green? There must be a great secret hidden in it …
Judging from the zombie's posture, it seemed to care a lot about something. Did it think that the man in green gave it to me? But, but I didn't … If I told him the truth, would it think that I was spouting nonsense and kill me?
Would it kill all of us in a fit of rage …?
Gongsun Xiu thought about many things in an instant. She was thinking about how to deal with the zombie and survive this disaster.
Gongsun Xiangming and the other Warrior did not know the details. They saw their niece (sister) and Miss Xiu's words saved them all and caused the zombie to show obvious emotional fluctuations.
Their eyes widened in surprise. They could not believe what kind of mystery was contained in those simple words.
Gongsun Xiangming looked haggard. He panted for a few seconds and suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Taoist Qing Gu and the other Warrior who had been on the lake at noon.
Those words seemed to have come from Xiu 'er. It was the words of the mysterious master they met in the lake …
Gongsun Xiangming saw the dumbfounded expressions of Taoist Qing Gu and the other Warrior. He immediately knew that he was right.
At that moment, Gongsun Xiu had made up her mind. She decided to confess, even though it would immediately make her and the others look like useless people and disappoint the zombie.
But since she was not sure if the zombie had a way to detect lies, being honest was the best choice. At least there was still room for negotiation.
Besides, she believed from the bottom of her heart that since the man in green only said those words and did not say anything else, he must have been certain that those words had a special binding force on the zombie.
"S-Senior …"
Gongsun Xiu stammered, "That was said by chance.
"That's what I said. Today, I met an expert on the lake. When he learned that I wanted to explore this tomb, he told me that if I ran into any danger I couldn't avoid …"
He briefly explained what had happened and then carefully looked at the zombie to observe its reaction.
When the mummy heard this, a human-like expression of disappointment appeared on its withered face.
"That's true. It hasn't even been a year since he left. Even if he wanted to return it to me … it would be impossible for him to do so so quickly.
It paused and said, "He asked you to pass this message to me to warn me not to try to seize the blood essence and break the seal! Back then, he sealed me here and made a promise with me. I would either endure the loneliness here and wait forever.
"Or die! Heh, I chose to live an ignoble existence. "
This horrifying and strange zombie had been sealed? And the person who sealed it was the green-robed man whom he had met by chance in the lake. It was not his ancestor, nor was it an elder of the sect. It was that green-robed man …
And all this happened in less than a year? "Wait a minute …" Gongsun Xiu recalled the collapse of this place and the situation along the way. She suddenly realized something.
There had been no earthquake in Yongzhou City in recent years, but the tomb had collapsed on a large scale. Gongsun Xiu had a guess based on what the zombie had just said.
In the past year, the green-robed man had come to the underground palace at an unknown time and had an earth-shattering battle with the mummy, which led to the collapse of the underground palace.
"Oh my god …" Gongsun Xiu heaved a sigh as a storm surged in her heart.
"Who … who is that person? How could he be so terrifying …" Warrior, who had been on the ship at noon, opened his mouth wide in shock. He finally knew how terrifying that young man was.
"No wonder he can predict the weather. This is just the tip of the iceberg of his unfathomable means."
Taoist Qing Gu's expression was both enlightened and startled. He knew that the green-robed man was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect him to be such a divine being.
He had underestimated him.
"You're lucky, so I won't kill you.
"You're still here."
The mummy's vocal cords seemed to be rotten. Its voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but it also liked to laugh strangely, which made people shudder.
"He's here?" "Who's here …" Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they looked back. The fiery light flickered and reflected a blurry figure, covered in mud and holding a saber.
"I was passing by Yongzhou City and came to see you."
The figure who had suddenly appeared said with a smile.
As soon as he spoke, Gongsun Xiu immediately recognized his voice. She said in surprise, "Senior … Senior Xu …"
Several Warrior, who had been lucky enough to meet the mysterious master Xu Qian at noon, were ecstatic. The arrival of this big shot meant that they were completely safe and no longer had to worry about their lives.
"He's the mysterious master Xiu 'er mentioned, the one who sealed the zombie …" Gongsun Xiangming realized.
Xu Qi'an's figure mysteriously disappeared and reappeared between the mummy and Gongsun Xiu. His tone was slightly anxious and made people feel that he was in a bad mood.
"Get out of here and wait for me outside."
Gongsun Xiu and the others felt like they had been pardoned. They had already lost their interest in treasure hunting and hurriedly left.
The mummy didn't stop them. After they left, it looked at Xu Qi'an and said in surprise,
"That was the trick of the Poison God."
"To be exact, it was the trick of the Southern Border Venomous Insect Tribe."
Xu Qi'an corrected it. He waved his hand to take the torch by his feet and held it up, illuminating the mummy's hideous appearance.
"I came to you this time to ask for your help. Hmm, I want to take something from you."
He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and held the torch. He said, "I want to borrow your nails, venom, and corpse energy."
The mummy said, "You want to refine a magic weapon?"
Xu Qi'an nodded.
The mummy in a tattered yellow robe didn't answer. It suddenly stared at him with a deep light flashing in its dark eyes.
"You're sealed."
Xu Qi 'an smiled and said, "You have good taste."
It was indeed the body of a master of at least First Grade. With such a high status, it could tell that there was something wrong with my body at first glance.
The mummy's eyes flickered.
Xu Qi'an smiled indifferently,
"I tried to imitate your master, so I killed the king and became the Emperor. I was killed by a First Grade Warlock, the Supervisor. Now my cultivation is sealed. "
Saying so, Xu Qi'an untied his robe and showed the nails embedded on his body.
"You?"
The mummy's expression changed, "Where's the monster in your body? Why didn't he come out to see me? "
The mummy really cared about Monk Shen Shu, not the host, Xu Qi'an. But after seeing the nails, it suddenly realized something was wrong.
How did this kid rely on his own strength to resist these fatal seals?
"He's in a deep sleep. After killing the king, he and I joined forces to fight against a First Grade Warlock. We couldn't win, so I was sealed and he fell into a deep sleep. Oh right … "
Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "I've advanced to Third Grade Immortal Body."
"Immortal Body, no wonder …"
No wonder he could still jump around after being sealed like this.
The mummy's expression became complicated. Back then, this guy's cultivation was shallow and he was just an ant.
How long had it been?
He had already stepped into the Third Grade Warrior, the realm of Immortal Body.
It considered its current state. Most of its strength was sealed, so it could not fight against a Third Grade Warrior. Although this guy was also sealed, the monster sleeping in his body, if it woke up …
The Voodoo's ability is quite useful, although it's only an insignificant guidance and not control … Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart, but he still looked calm on the surface.
"I won't take your things for free. I'll try to help you find that master. In fact, after that day, I've been paying attention to your master and investigating Great Liang Dynasty. "
Xu Qi'an used the Voodoo to guide it again.
The mummy's eyes brightened, its attention was attracted by this topic.
This was not because the Voodoo's ability was powerful, but because similar topics were what the mummy was most concerned about.
The Voodoo only played a supporting role, making it pay more attention and care more, so it would not be distracted by other things, such as stabbing Xu Qi'an in the back.
"Great Liang Dynasty's history started in ancient times, when the era of gods and demons ended, humans and demons rose, and the descendants of gods and demons wreaked havoc in the nine provinces. That period of history was full of turbulence and chaos. The Confucians did not appear, so there was no set of conventional and detailed history books left behind."
Xu Qi'an spoke frankly with assurance, "However, we can still speculate a lot of things from the side. For example, after your master shed his old body and formed a new one, there were only two outcomes.
"First, he died long ago. Second, he changed to a different avatar. "
The mummy frowned, "Avatar? What do you mean? "
Avatar means changing an identity. For example, Xu Qian is my avatar, or sometimes, Xu Erlang is also my avatar … Xu Qi'an said,
"Do you know the rule that those who have luck cannot live forever?"
"Those who have luck cannot live forever …" The mummy muttered and shook its head.
"You don't know. This means that when your master killed the king and ascended to the throne, he also didn't know this rule. Later, he failed to pass the tribulation and understood this rule. Thus, he shed his old body and cut off everything in the past, including you and the Jade Seal of Destiny. "
Xu Qi'an laughed, "This is very interesting."
Those who have luck cannot live forever. This was a rule that everyone at the peak of the nine provinces knew.
But in ancient times, there were very few people who knew this rule. Why?
Because at that time, the human race had just risen, and the entire race had not condensed a huge amount of luck. Luck was a strange thing to the human cultivators at that time.
The ancient Daoist who was suspected to be walking the path of Renzong realized that luck could help him cultivate, so he killed the giant snake and became the State Preceptor, gaining a huge reputation and luck. In the end, he killed the king and ascended to the throne.
Just like how he killed Empress Zhen De.
But later, he found that his cultivation was getting higher and higher, but he could no longer get rid of the shackles of luck and could not live forever …
Therefore, he took advantage of the tribulation and separated part of his soul, swapped his old body, and cut off all connections with the past.
Combined with the content of the murals, this reasoning was logical and factual.
"This Daoist is something. He is also entangled by luck. Great Ancestor and Wu Zong, who are first-grade martial artists, have passed away. Even the Confucian Saint has passed away. None of the founding emperors in history with great cultivation were able to live forever. However, he was able to forcefully cut off everything …
"How did he do it? There must be a very important step that I don't know … "
Xu Qi 'an gathered his scattered thoughts and continued to speak.
"He left you and the Jade Seal of Destiny here, which proves that he has successfully cut off his past. Then, with his cultivation, time cannot kill him. He must still be alive.
"If he later became a Supreme Rank, then, excluding the God of Venomous Poison, any Supreme Rank could be his disguise. A disguise means a new identity.
"If he didn't become a Supreme Rank, he must be hiding or plotting something. But he is still alive."
Not dead, not dead … The mummy's eyes flickered with human-like emotions, mixed with sadness and joy.
Seeing its emotions fluctuating so violently, Xu Qi'an snorted and laughed,
"Are you satisfied with this result?"
The mummy nodded slowly.
Xu Qi'an was also very satisfied. He lightly touched the surface of the Earth Book fragment and summoned the Taiping Saber.
He held the saber in one hand and the mummy's hand with the other, "You haven't cut your nails for thousands of years, aren't you afraid of getting a nosebleed when you pick your nose?"
The mummy's nails were black, different from human nails. Its nails were more like the claws of a large beast, hard and sharp, but not long.
Xu Qi'an held the saber and chopped, sparks flew everywhere. It took him a lot of effort to chop off a piece of nail.
If it was just to refine a magic weapon, one nail would be enough, but the mummy's materials were rare. Xu Qi'an did not mention the quantity on purpose because he wanted to get as much as he could.
After cutting off five fingernails in a row, the mummy clenched his fists. He was not used to his "empty" fingers. When he saw Xu Qi 'an grab his other hand, the mummy's expression instantly changed.
"Don't go too far."
Xu Qi 'an stopped before going too far. Then, with the mummy's permission, he cut open the flesh on the mummy's neck and extracted about ten milliliters of thick greenish-black liquid. He sealed it in a small jade bottle.
At this point, he had collected two materials needed for Wei Yuan's resurrection.
Xu Qi'an was relieved, he felt a lot calmer in the depths of his heart, and he was sincerely happy.
Finally, he used the other party's Corpse Qi to raise the Corpse Parasite.
Two wisps of black smoke came out of the mummy's mouth. The smoke lingered in the air and did not dissipate. It was obviously a highly poisonous substance.
Xu Qi'an contracted his abdomen, inhaled, and the black smoke flowed into his nostrils.
In an instant, he looked like he was drunk. His pupils were unfocused, and his cheeks bulged with a network of black blood vessels, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
This process lasted for a full twenty minutes before he completely digested the Corpse Qi. The network of black blood vessels faded, and his pupils regained focus.
He closed his eyes and felt the changes in the Seven Extinctive Parasite. It symbolized that the Corpse Parasite's ability had undergone a qualitative change, and it had become the strongest Gu Art after the Heaven Gu.
Now, he could control three seventh-grade experts of different systems more perfectly.
More perfectly meant that he could restore more than eighty percent of their combat strength and skills.
The mummy suddenly frowned and said, "Why are you staring at me?"
Xu Qi'an's expression was sincere. "I suddenly feel that you're quite handsome."
“？”
The mummy looked at him expressionlessly.
Xu Qi'an smiled, stood up, and bowed. "Goodbye!"
He turned around and left without any hesitation.
He walked out of the underground palace and passed through the stone door. He held a torch and stopped by a wall. He knocked his head on the wall and cursed.
"This is too f * cking embarrassing.
"This is too f * cking embarrassing …"
After a while, Xu Qi'an calmed the goosebumps in his heart and returned to the surface with ease.
The autumn rain was cold, hitting his face, shoulders, and neck … He glanced around and found that Gongsun Xiu and the others were still waiting outside the cave.
They were either wearing straw raincoats, bamboo hats, or no rain gear.
Seeing Xu Qi'an coming out, Gongsun Xiu was relieved. She bowed and cupped her fists.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior."
The Warrior beside her bowed and cupped their fists. They said in unison,
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior."
Xu Qi'an nodded. "It's nothing."
After a pause, before Gongsun Xiu and the others could speak, he said,
"The Ancient Corpse in the tomb is fierce. Anyone below third-grade will die if they enter. At its peak, even a third-grade Warrior may not be a match for it. From today onwards, the entrance to the cave is sealed. No one is allowed to enter.
"If the Ancient Corpse consumes blood essence to recover, Yongzhou will become a purgatory. The Gongsun Family will be responsible for this. "
Even a third-grade martial artist might not be a match for it … Everyone's pupils dilated uncontrollably, their heartbeats quickened, and a strong lingering fear surged in their hearts. They had not just taken a trip to the gates of hell, they had practically had a drink with the King of Hell.
They could only return to the world of the living because the King of Hell was drunk …
"Yes!"
Gongsun Xiu cupped her fists and pursed her lips. Her beautiful face was full of seriousness. "I will guard this mountain to repay you for saving my life."
After a pause, she plucked up her courage and asked, "May I know who you are, Senior?"
This question was a little offensive, but it was reasonable to ask about the identity of the benefactor.
Xu Qi'an did not answer. He waved his hand and walked down the mountain.
Just when Gongsun Xiu and the others were feeling disappointed, the man in green said in a loud voice,
"In the eight hundred autumns since I attained the Dao, I have never taken a head with a flying sword."
"The Jade Emperor did not send a Heavenly Talisman, and the goods were black gold."
