Ask the Mirror Chapter 1: Cangjiang Defense Line Donghua Lost (Part 1)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
There is no moon in late autumn, the sky and the earth are dim, both sides of the river are enveloped in the night, and the waves of the Cangjiang River are like a piece of black satin, brushing against the sandy shore, making a rustling sound. Only on a rocky beach on the south bank, the bright light shines, reflecting thousands of intertwined shadows. The edge of the bright light is even more like a ghostland.
Several figures are within the range of the bright light. In the center, Gu Zhi is talking eloquently:
"It's still insect poison, but it has traces of artificial refining, and it's been incorporated into a special method to form a poisonous technique. This is clearly different from the previous natural toxins. It must be that Zhu's Kunzhong cultivation is profound and simple. It’s because the toxin is difficult to work.”
"Do you know the trace of the murderer?"
"Judging from the toxin residue, after the murderer succeeded, he went straight into the river to wash away the smell and residual poison. The fish harmed by the residual poison we found in the downstream came from this. It can be said that the method is the same as the previous ones. Exactly the same."
"Now that he has taken action, can we find out his origins?"
"I'm sorry that I can't do anything about this. The types of insect poisons are extremely complex, and the poisons they form are also ever-changing..."
"Oh, I understand."
"It's good if the fairy can understand." Gu Zhi smiled slightly, with several lines piled up at the corners of his eyes. Although he was no longer youthful, he still had a mature demeanor.
He just entered the Buxu realm last year, but because he came too late, it was difficult for him to regain his vitality even in the most pure Xuanzhen. The poison accumulated from taking medicine for many years has gradually shown its negative effects. Now his body is not as good as the day before, but The mentality of not caring about life and death is indeed cultivated.
In front of the elite monk of Lunjianxuan, with two corpses that had been mostly corrupted at his feet, he still looked that cool and unruly, talking and laughing calmly:
"One more point, although the fish injured by the residual poison were found downstream, the autumn water has swelled and the river flow is more rapid. According to the decomposition of the two corpses and the degree of dispersion of the residual poison in the land water, there are also The location of the dead fish downstream is more likely for the murderer to move upstream. It is estimated that the time will not exceed eight hours."
"Eight hours..."
She lowered her head and calculated silently. After a moment, Lingjiao raised her face and turned to look at the dark river in the distance. The sharp contrast between light and darkness could not interfere with her sight. The water in the center of the river surged, and a figure rose from the bottom of the river. He took one step and reached the shore.
Everyone saluted together: "Zhenren Sheng."
The person who came was dressed in cloth, with a straw rope tied around his waist, and his eyebrows were black and connected at the center of his eyebrows. He was none other than Sheng Tong, a famous casual cultivator in southern China. He has always been close to famous sects, so he didn't even look at Lingjiao and directly said to Gu Zhi:
"According to what Sect Master Gui said, after walking around the bottom of the river, the residual poison was indeed visible in the water plants on the bottom of the river, but it suddenly disappeared about fifty miles upstream..."
Gu Zhi laughed when he heard this: "This matter is settled, Sheng Qingren must have locked the target."
"That's right. The bottom of the nearby river is about seven feet deep. There is a void tunnel. I don't know where it leads, but it must be the path for the murderer to escape."
Sheng Tong was also polite to Gu Zhi, praising: "Thanks to Sect Master Gu for coming here and helping us find clues. The Xitian Sect of Buyun Society has produced numerous talents over the years, and it must be Sect Master Gu's support."
"Where, in the past few years, Buyun Society has been taken care of a lot, and it is right to contribute to our friends in the South. Unfortunately, my ability is limited, and I can only help here. Zhu's Kunzhong was still poisoned... …”
"The world is unfair, humanity is unfair, and the losses are not enough to be rewarded. The strong will get stronger, and the weak will get weaker. It is inevitable that this will happen."
Sheng Tong raised his thick black eyebrows, and the sharp eyes were directed towards Ling Jiao's face next to him. At the same time, there were two or three monks around who had unsightly faces, but they were all worried about Sheng Tong's strong cultivation. Dare to speak more.
Since the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth began twelve years ago, most areas of the True Realm have been unable to see the sun for more than ten years. Their vitality has been chaotic, a large number of crops have failed to harvest, and some elixirs and minerals have also gone wrong, resulting in a serious shortage of cultivation resources. In order to **** resources, fighting broke out, and some people simply gave up their way forward, leading to a sharp increase in the number of evil cultivators.
The hardest hit area is the north. Under the raging demonic calamity in the North, many sects were separated from each other, and there were also changes in Donghua, which caused the void to be distorted. Void passages, apertures, etc. appeared all over the real world. Some of them connected the two places of the real world. This is not bad. But some are directly connected to outside the territory, or to other void worlds. Even the demons from the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion appear from time to time. The support of the Xiyu Alliance is very hard, and it also makes countless monks move to the southern country for refuge.
Beidi Sanhu, the world's first-class cultivation place, is now not as good as before.
In order to prevent the large-scale invasion of demonic calamities from the south, the southern clans and major sects initiated the recruitment of monks from all walks of life and established the Cangjiang Defense Line. For casual cultivators like Sheng Tong to participate, the rewards are very generous and it is also an input to the cultivation resources.
But these rewards obviously cannot dispel Sheng Tong's resentment.
Fortunately, the one working with Sheng Tong this time is Fairy Lingjiao from Lunjianxuan. This person has always been smart and lively, never fighting for power and gain, and his thinking circuit is different from ordinary people, so he will not fall into trouble for a while.
Sheng Tong stabbed a few words on his lips, then smiled at Gu Zhi again: "Now that the traces of the murderer have been revealed, it is up to Gu Sect Master to use his talents to find him out. How about we set off immediately?"
This blocked Gu Zhi's previous excuse. Gu Zhi gave a wry smile, but soon, the fan slapped on the palm of his hand and made a crisp sound: "Since Master Sheng said it, I will try my best again. . It is rare for a void tunnel to appear at the bottom of a river."
The group of people no longer delayed, and immediately went upstream, and soon arrived at the void corridor mentioned by Sheng Tong. They carefully made arrangements, and then Sheng Tong took the lead and entered one by one, but they did not want to be quiet. , there is no change.
When everyone had passed the corridor, Gu Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky: "Fortunately, it is still the real world and has not reached the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion."
After hearing this, all the monks laughed. Nowadays, there are less than ten void tunnels, apertures, etc. in the world that lead to the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion, and they are all very unstable. If it is true as Gu Zhi said, they have really hit the jackpot.
The sky here is still dark, but the vegetation is dense, full of vitality, and the humidity is high. Such an environment is relatively rare in the real world today.
To be cautious, the monks did not use lighting spells and only scanned with their spiritual consciousness. Sheng Tong asked:
"Does anyone recognize this place?"
No one responded for a while, but after Sheng Tong finished speaking, he said "Hey": "There is another dead body."
He walked over first, with Gu Zhi following behind. After walking a few steps, he saw a corpse lying across a bush. It was completely naked. Even in the night, if you looked carefully, you could still see it. This person's complexion is gray, which is a sign of [***], and his life is completely gone.
