Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding

  Chapter 104 Moulting (big chapter to order)

   A group of people came out with solemn expressions.

  At this time, the sky was already pale, but the disciples in the Zizhu Forest area were still sleeping peacefully, unaware that their master had turned into a half corpse.

  Including the new disciple Bai Lingshuang who has just started.

  Elder Xue is going to find suzerain Chen Hanshi.

  Because the development of things has been out of their control.

  Li Yulin was killed by a "human", and there is still a "he" in the sect to deal with. This is indeed not something that they and their group can easily handle.

  Elder Xue has heard the saying that Yun Xuezong is actually suppressing evil spirits, but he just heard it and is not clear.

  Because that is a very old rumor, it seems to be about things before the founder Zhao Lianyue founded the Yunxue Sect.

   It is said that the patriarch and the spirit fox were together at that time, and there was also some kind of evil spirit in the mountain. The patriarch and the spirit fox joined forces to kill him, and even the corpse was suppressed under a mysterious large formation, only then did the side maintain peace.

   This kind of legend, even if she is an elder, is not clear about it, and what happened tonight exceeded her expectations, so she can only go to the suzerain Chen Hanshi.

  As the head of a sect, Chen Hanshi is naturally the tallest person in Yunxue Sect.

   How high is it, almost as high as Xuefeng.

   Few people know what realm he is, because the last time he made a move was twenty years ago, when he showed the cultivation of the five realms of life.

   Of course, his realm may not stop there.

  Yun Xuezong has a good reputation in the north, not only because the sect has a solid background, but also because the real realm of the suzerain Chen Hanshi is unpredictable.

  Some people think that he is the natal realm of the fifth realm, while some think that he has reached the sixth realm of moving mountains. Of course, more people think that he is between the fifth realm and the sixth realm.

  He often retreats, probably because he wants to understand the gap between the five realms and the six realms.

  Chen Hanshi is a real old man in the practice world.

  Cultivators in the natal realm of the five realms, as long as they refine the natal objects that communicate with their minds, their lifespan will increase to about 300 years.

  As for Chen Hanshi, he is almost 280 years old this year. If he is in the natal realm, he has almost reached the end of his lifespan.

  Of course, in the entire history of Yun Xuezong, the longest-lived is still the ancestor of the sect, Zhao Lianyue. He lived for 932 years, only under the legendary figure who became immortal.

   This is almost a miracle, because even a land **** and fairyland figure with supernatural powers only has this longevity.

   You must know that Zhao Lianyue was only moving from the sixth realm to the mountain realm at that time.

   If Chen Hanshi wants to live longer, he can only continue to break through. This is also the reason why Elder Xue and others have been reluctant to disturb him during his retreat.

  Life and death are big things.

  But things have come to this point, even the deputy suzerain Li Yulin died inexplicably, so he had to be invited out of the mountain.

  Chen Hanshi retreated in a hidden cave near the snow mountain.

  There are not many traces of artificial carving in this cave, so it can be said to be a natural grotto.

  Although there is no special guard here, it has always been the forbidden area of ​​Yun Xuezong.

  If it weren't for special circumstances, people with the status of Elder Xue would not easily step in.

  At this time, it was just dawn, and the dark forest was gradually dyed in color.

   It's just because the pattering rain still hasn't stopped, and the sky is very gloomy.

  The grotto was naturally dark as well.

  The four of them didn't have traces of human life gradually appearing in the cave until they walked a certain distance inside.

  The cave is not completely dark. There are large or small holes on the wall above the head, which can cast a little light from the sky.

   There is a faint moisture in the air, and a simple stone bridge leads directly to the inside.

  There is the place where Chen Hanshi retreated.

  At this time, Elder Xue couldn't help but said: "Xue Yu has something to ask to see Senior Brother Suzerain!"

  The voice echoed in the empty grotto, but there was no response.

   "Xue Yu has something to ask to see the suzerain brother!"

  Elder Xue repeated it again.

  The grotto was still silent, only her voice echoed inside.

   Does this mean that the Suzerain Chen Hanshi is not inside?

   Or in other words, closed to a certain mysterious state, unable to respond?

  Elder Xue thought of Li Yulin's eccentricity and her death, and felt a sense of crisis, so he walked in without too much hesitation.

  Yes, we can't wait any longer, otherwise Yun Xuezong will change.

   This is a stone room that was slightly modified from a natural cave. Except for a stone table and a stone bench, there is only one lamp without oil.

   From this, it can be seen that Chen Hanshi's retreat life has always been very difficult.

  People who have reached his level have already inedia, and it is said that those who have inedia will have a sense of peace and joy in their minds.

  In short, Ji Que hadn't reached that state, and didn't know that kind of happiness. He even felt that he wouldn't be able to experience that kind of happiness after reaching that state.

   It is too painful not to eat.

   After life, isn’t the most important thing is to enjoy those few mouthfuls of food and drink?

  There is a small wooden door in the stone room.

  Elder Xue had seen the suzerain come out from there, and she guessed that it should be the quiet room where the other party retreated.

  She came to the door and repeated her request to see her again, but there was still no response from inside.

  Elder Xue couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

  The suzerain brother who has been retreating for a long time is not here?

  She pushed with her hand, and the wooden door creaked open.

   Behind the wooden door is a room transformed from a grotto.

  The air here is getting more humid, and there is a musty smell in the air.

  There is only one dilapidated futon on the ground, and nothing else.

  The head of this stone room can be seen at a glance, Chen Hanshi is really not here?

  The walls of the stone chamber are engraved with a lot of words and some messy moral sentiments.

   This is indeed worth avoiding for practitioners.

  But Elder Xue didn't care about these, but nervously asked: "Is the suzerain brother here?"

  At this time, old man Luo said: "Could Sect Master Chen know about the changes in the sect, so he went out first, and then acted after planning?"

   This is also an explanation.

  Ji Que sat on the futon, looked at everything on the wall, imagined the picture of the rumored patriarch Chen Hanshi sitting here and meditating, and only felt that it was the same as when he was studying hard.

   The suzerain Chen Hanshi was not found, and the original plan suddenly came to a deadlock.

  Ning Hongyu didn't stop, and kept tapping on the surrounding walls.

   She should be looking to see if there is a secret room or something.

  Ji Que saw it, and always wondered if this female Shangfeng had ever been to the ground, robbed a tomb, or something like that.

   Otherwise, why are you so proficient?

  Ning Hongyu ignored him. Suddenly, she frowned, and with a firm tap of her fist, she hit a certain place on the stone wall.

   There was only a bang, that was the sound of the mechanism opening.

   Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of "Hey?" Ji Que, who was sitting on the futon, flipped over and disappeared from everyone's sight.

  It was a dark hole with a cold wind.

  Old man Luo watched Ji Que fall, his forehead was sweating, and he couldn't help sighing: "This is really unlucky."

   In such a large problem room, there is an agency there, and he just sits there. Isn’t this bad luck or something?

  Ning Hongyu and the others approached, only to see that there were no stone steps in the entrance of the cave, they were vertically downward, dark, like a well, emitting cold air.

  Ning Hongyu stood at the entrance of the cave and called, "Ji Que?"

   There was no response, and it was very quiet below, dead silent, as if Ji Que had been eaten by the hole.

  The atmosphere in the arena was somewhat depressing, even a little bit of fear, because this might involve the secret of the Yunxue sect master.

  Everyone has secrets, and the Suzerain Chen Hanshi is also not exempt.

  There may be some terrible secret hidden under here, otherwise it would not be so secretive.

  Elder Xue was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but Ning Hongyu didn't care about it, and just squatted down along the cave wall and slid down.

  Old man Luo saw this and asked, "Shall we go down?"

  Elder Xue gritted his teeth and said, "Go down!"

  If the senior brother is below and he doesn't know these two young people, there may be conflicts.

   As she spoke, she slid down.

  Darkness, rich darkness enveloped the body.

  The moment Ji Que fell from the futon, the first thought in his head was - "Didn't that lady Ning Hongyu do it on purpose?".

   Immediately, he drew out the Qianji Sword, just about to move his body, but there was a bang, and his head hit the solid stone slab abruptly, in the posture of inserting a willow upside down.

  So shallow?

  The dark cave is like a well. Ji Que thought he would fall for a while, but it turned out to be too sudden.

  Fortunately, he is now full of real energy, and the effect of the "Iron Head Skill" is no longer a problem.

  His hands were on the ground, his body was hanging upside down, and he just pulled his head out of the smashed floor, only to hear a snap, and a mass of soft flesh pressed against him, so his head was pressed back into the floor with a thud.

  Ning Hongyu half-kneeled on Ji Que who was thrust upside down, a little astonished.

  She thought the hole would be quite deep, but in the blink of an eye, two legs suddenly thrust into her face, so she could only press her knees together and press up.

   This scene was a bit magical for a while, the woman went up and the man went down, except that the man's head hit the ground, and his neck was a little red, which gave people a sense of yin and yang blending.

  Ning Hongyu got off Ji Que, looked at the upside-down long legs, and asked doubtfully, "Ji Que, are you alright?"

   Saying that, she pulled Ji Que out of it.

  Ji Que was lying on the ground, only a silhouette of Ning Hongyu could be seen in the dim environment.

   His forehead was covered with gravel powder, and while sweeping, he complained: "I suspect you are the reason"

   Before he finished speaking, he heard two thuds, and Elder Xue and Old Luo smashed on his abdomen and calves one after the other.

  Ji Que's cheeks twitched, his cheeks hurt.

   These two old guys should have a body of steel and iron, and his stomach and legs were numb.

  Elder Xue and old man Luo were surprised and came down from the top. Old man Luo couldn't help complaining: "This is too shallow, Xiao Ji, are you okay?"

  In the darkness, the three of them looked at Ji Que who was lying on the ground, and said nothing, but the expression in their eyes was obvious—"We really didn't mean it.".

  Ji Que closed his eyes straight away, not wanting to speak.

  A real man should silently accept all the gifts of fate.

   But it is still quite tiring, especially the heart.

  At this time, Ning Hongyu squatted down, and said softly: "You can count it as a work-related injury, and you can count it as money."

  Ji Que sat up straight, his eyes lit up and said, "Really?"

  Ning Hongyu had long been used to his reaction and behaved normally, while Elder Xue and Old Man Luo were taken aback.

  This young man is so handsome that he looks like a dead body.

  It was very dark here, Elder Xue took out a small glowing lamp.

  As the light spread, the appearance of the underground gradually appeared in the eyes of several people.

  Is this a pill room?

   This is a mountain cave, the stones are covered with moss and damp.

   On the flat ground in the center of the cave, there is a pill furnace as tall as a person.

  The stone steps next to the alchemy furnace had some traces of burning and even slight explosions, but it must have been a long time since the furnace was used for alchemy, because there were some moss crawling on it.

  Ning Hongyu asked: "Does your suzerain practice alchemy?"

  Elder Xue shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard much about this."

  Old man Luo almost stuck his head into the alchemy furnace, and said, "Even if there is alchemy, why make it so secretive?"

  His meaning is obvious, Dan Dao is not a small way, and it has been passed down since ancient times, but similarly, there are also righteous ways and evil ways.

  Chen Hanshi made this alchemy room so secretive, maybe it's not a serious way.

  Elder Xue's expression was not good, and he said, "Speak directly if you have something to say, senior."

  Old man Luo smelled it carefully at Danbi, and said, "This furnace smells of corpse oil."

  Elder Xue looked pale and said, "How is this possible?"

  Chen Hanshi, the suzerain of the famous sect in the north, is secretly refining the alchemy. This is indeed a cold and terrifying secret.

  The next moment, the old man Luo let out a strange cry, almost sat down on the ground, and shouted: "There is someone, there is someone in the furnace!"

  He suddenly saw a human head in the pill furnace just now.

   Still blinking!

  Elder Xue and Ning Hongyu moved upon hearing the news, with nervous expressions on their faces, but the next moment, a dull expression appeared on their faces.

  Because of the other side of the alchemy furnace, Ji Que was getting half of his body inside.

   Immediately, he put the weird ruler in again, and soon, there was a soft light and the sound of whining wind from inside.

  At this time, Ji Que put his head back and analyzed: "Why do I still smell a fishy smell?"

  Old man Luo came to his senses and said in shock, "Can you stop being so sudden?"

  Ji Que said with a serious face: "You should have said it earlier, I didn't know that you would have such a big reaction when you are young, highly respected, and calm."

   "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

  Old man Luo: "."

  At this time, Ning Hongyu had reached the depths of the alchemy room.

  Here, there are fine pieces of sky light falling down.

  Ji Que came over, Ning Hongyu asked, "What do you think this place looks like?"

  In front, there was a long and thick wooden board, covered with knife marks and dark bloodstains, and a curved iron hook was hung on it, with coagulated blood clots attached.

  The smell of blood filled the air, Ji Que replied: "It's like a slaughterhouse."

  If the space in front is like a pill room because of the pill furnace, then this place is more like a slaughterhouse.

  Looking at the bloodstains and knife marks on the long chopping board, you can easily imagine the scene of a person tearing up meat and bones here.

  Ji Que could even imagine the cold expression on the man's face when he picked up the knife to chop meat.

  In the eyes of outsiders, the young Chen Hanshi is wise and immoral. He is a big shot in the clouds of the Northland, and he is also a leader of the righteous monks in the Northland.

   But in this dark underground, he slaughtered people or other creatures like a butcher, hung their meat on the iron hook, and used them to refine strange evil pills.

   And on the wall in front of him, there are blood characters.

  These fonts are distorted, like twisting earthworms, and the sick feeling seems to seep out through the stone wall.

  Ji Que felt that the word was wrong anyway, until he looked at it for a while, only to find that the stone wall was repeating a sentence - "Start the furnace, become a fairy.".

  This Chen Hanshi is probably a lunatic.

   Ji Que thought so.

In the dark stone room, the small lamp carried by Elder Xue emits a faint blue light, and the light shines on the faces of everyone present, looking fluffy, Ji Que actually gave birth to a feeling that they are no longer human illusion.

  There is a long and narrow passage behind this stone room, after passing, the whole space is bottomed out.

   It was there that they saw the most terrifying thing in the field.

  A layer of fish skin.

  Carp skin.

  The carp skin is at least the size of an adult, lifelike, with a cold light on the scales.

  The key is that it has a pair of human-like eyes, and you can clearly see its eyelids and eyelashes.

  It just lies there, looking at you quietly like a living thing, it makes people's hearts creep.

  Do fish also shed their skin like snakes?

  Why is there such a strange fish skin in Chen Hanshi's secret room?

  Ning Hongyu turned over the fish skin's mouth, and found that there were jagged Senhan teeth hanging on it.

  Involuntarily, a terrible idea was born in several people's minds, but no one said it out.

  At this time, Elder Xue's skirt gave out some fine vibrations.

  She took out the porcelain bottle and uncorked it.

  I saw that purple scorpion rushed towards the fish skin like crazy, and went straight into the opponent's mouth.

   It is certain that it was this thing that killed the deputy suzerain Li Yulin.

  A big carp that can only molt?

  After shedding its skin, where did that thing go?

   For a while, no one spoke, and the entire relatively long and narrow room was silent, and they could hear each other's breathing.

  Finally, Ji Que broke the silence and said, "Don't guess, the one who shed his skin is Chen Hanshi."

"But."

Ning Hongyu said: "There is no need to deceive yourself. Li Yulin's cut was bitten out by such a mouth. I said that he was murdered before he seemed to react. At that time, I speculated that he was attacked by surprise, but I didn't expect that he might be facing a person who is usually very trustworthy, so he was unprepared."

  "Maybe he didn't even think that this person would suddenly kill him before he died."

  Ning Hongyu picked up the fish skin that was almost as tall as a man with a long knife, and said, "That person can only be the Suzerain Chen Hanshi."

  Elder Xue still has some difficulty accepting this fact.

   The famous Yunxue sect, the suzerain and the deputy suzerain are all evil?

  She couldn't help asking: "Then where is Chen Hanshi now?"

  Ji Que said: "At the bottom of the lake, in that well."

   As he spoke, he looked up the cave wall.

   There, among the moss and weeds, was an inconspicuous opening.

  The purple scorpion got out of the fish skin at some point, and crawled there wet all over.
