Immortal Formula

   Chapter 487 Death and Injury, Suspicion

Everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw a cultivator exclaiming not far away. Gu Yan remembered that he was also the head of a small sect, with similar strength to He Yingtan. This time, he brought three disciples here. When he was resting at night, he was stationed at the periphery, adjacent to Hu Zhiyuan's position. He didn't expect to hear his shouting when it was dawn.

Han Wanru, Tan Tiancheng, Yang Zhen and the others followed, and Gu Yan also walked over, and saw the man named Yuan Tingsheng, who was standing there like a dead face. There were two disciples beside him, his face was gray and sullen. Han Chan didn't dare to answer a word.

  Han Wanru asked, "What's going on?"

   Yuan Tingsheng said: "I rest here in the middle of the night, and when I get up in the morning, after a few more counts, there will be one less person!"

  Han Wanru's brows suddenly wrinkled, and Tan Tiancheng also said: "Why do you look at your apprentice, there are only so few people, you don't know if there is one less?"

   Yuan Tingsheng also found it strange. He was meditating in the tent, and he was not sleeping. He could know the movements around him, even if there were birds and chirping insects. Why did his apprentice disappear for no reason? Hearing Tan Tiancheng's rebuke, he was not angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to fight against the hot-tempered Tan Zicheng, so he turned around and scolded his two disciples, "What are you two doing for food? A big living person is gone, Didn't see the slightest trace?"

Those two disciples had been slapped by Yuan Tingsheng for a long time, but now they are silent and dare not answer. He walked to Yuan Tingsheng and whispered to him.

Lin Zitong was beside Gu Yan and said in a very low voice: "Yuan Tingsheng and Yang Zhen have a very good relationship. Before he formed the elixir, the two of them used to be brothers. It was also after Yuan Tingsheng formed the elixir a few years ago. Yunfeng's strong support gave him the opportunity to bring his disciples to participate in this trial today. The two factions are very close, and they are very comparable."

Gu Yan nodded with satisfaction. She lives in seclusion in the spiritual garden on weekdays, and her understanding of the major forces in Dongyang County is far from being as familiar as Lin Zitong, who helps Gan Biwu beside her. With her reminders by her side, she can Let Gu Yan deal with the affairs here more calmly.

At this time, Yang Zhen had come back, still holding a talisman in his hand, and said: "This is the talisman on Yuan Zhenren's disciple. It was lost here yesterday. I asked Nanxian to use the golden pot to take a shadow and look around. Is there any trace of him?"

   Everyone also praised it, saying that Nanxianzi's golden pot shadowing technique has been practiced to perfection, and I just happened to see it today. Gu Yan followed back without making a sound.

  The so-called golden basin shadowing is a kind of technique of identifying the shape. As long as there is a person's personal object, which is stained with his spiritual energy, you can use this method to find his trace according to the map. It is a kind of illusion, among the various sects, Fairy Nan is the best at this way.

When Yang Zhen went back and talked to Fairy Nan, she agreed to cast the spell, took off a jade hairpin on her head, and then asked the disciple who was with her to take out a jade box. After opening it, there was a palm-sized golden Bowl. After she took it out, she recited the mantra, and the golden basin quickly swelled up, becoming the size of a copper basin used by ordinary mortals. There was a clear spring in it. Nanxian put the jade hairpin into the water and gently When the water was stirred, the water surface was sparkling. Nanxianzi quickly lifted the jade hairpin up, and countless water threads were pulled out by her. At this time, she twisted the jade tablet with her right hand and threw it into the water. Countless drops of water splashed.

When the jade card sank to the bottom of the water, she had already put the jade hairpin on her head again. The ten fingers of both hands danced fast in the air. The ten thousand golden scales on the water began to calm down under her pressure, and the water surface became smooth. Like a mirror, then there are images one after another exposed.

It was rather blurry at first, and then gradually became clear. What was shown above seemed to be a human figure, slowly coming out of the body and limbs, and finally the face, Yuan Tingsheng's two disciples pointed and exclaimed: "That is Brother!"

The picture slowly pulled away, and everyone saw him. He was in an extremely desolate valley, his face was blank, and he was a little scared. Very close, holding your breath, almost got into it.

At this time, the water surface suddenly became dim, and a huge head filled the whole picture in an instant, and then there was a sound of "Peng", and countless water droplets splashed. , holding the entire golden pot in his hand.

   The creaking sound kept making, and the golden pot was actually held a little unstable by her. It seemed that a monster was about to rush out, and Fairy Nan firmly suppressed it.

Everyone didn't react for a while, only Gu Yan sneered, her five fingers twisted, dozens of silver needles had appeared on her fingertips, suddenly the ice spirit surged, and the cold air was threatening, with a wave of her hand, dozens of silver needles The silver needle flew toward the golden basin. With a bang, blood splattered, and the entire golden basin turned into blood.

Then came a low roar, Nan Xianzi breathed a sigh of relief, the two hands that were tightly grasping the golden pot had turned pale, she turned her head and smiled at Gu Yan reluctantly, "Thank you! "

   At this moment, all the onlookers reacted, and Han Wanru exclaimed: "Someone borrowed the technique of gold basin imaging and used the primordial spirit to attack?"

Fairy Nan let out a long sigh and looked at the golden pot carefully to confirm that it was not damaged, but she still had lingering fears and said in a low voice, "Yes, if Fairy Gu hadn't forced it back, I'm afraid that the golden pot will not be guaranteed, and the opposite side doesn't know what it is. Monster, powerful divine sense, Ruosi!"

From the very beginning, Gu Yan felt that her golden basin imaging method was a bit reckless. Although the golden basin imaging method could capture the terrain of a hundred miles, it also made the surrounding aura and demon aura undifferentiated. When the camera came in, if someone left a ray of spiritual thought and used it to cause trouble, she might not be able to resist the enemy if she was caught off guard. So she had been careful for a long time. The long needle that Bing Lingyan had turned into was twisted in her hand early in the morning. Suddenly, when she saw a beast's head rushing out from it, she split her hand and threw the long needle out. The method of transforming shadows was just a ray of spiritual thought, and Gu Yan's injury immediately disappeared.

It's just the golden basin imaging method, and it can no longer be used. The terrain that I saw just now was not impressed by everyone's eyes. After all, Lancang Valley is hundreds of miles in diameter and is connected to the celestial pole. There are countless dangerous places, many places. These monks have never entered, just like Panyunji, which Zhu Ying once told Gu Yan, there are many more dangerous places than there, Lancang Valley. Who knows which valley the inexplicable monster is entrenched in?

Han Wanru discussed with Nanxianzi, Tan Zicheng and others, and Gu Yan naturally joined them. After all, everything in the world of immortality depends on strength. Her performance last night and this morning has proved that she has the strength to compete with these people. One of the people side by side.

Although Nanxianzi's golden pot did not find the whereabouts of the missing disciple, but he also saw that he was still alive, and he was not in a coma like the two disciples. Surprised, isn't that unknown monster that will devour it when it sees it?

She originally thought that the monsters implanted poisonous insects in the monks' bodies, which may also be a means of devouring people. The poisonous eggs were implanted in the monks' bodies, and when the eggs grew, the monks could be swallowed up naturally. It is not unthinkable that the adult worms come out of the body, but now it seems that the development of facts is wrong in this judgment.

It's just that she didn't say all of these thoughts, but just watched the development of the situation with a cold eye. After debating for a while, she still formed a team according to the method discussed last night, and then went to find other people who didn't. The sect that appeared.

In Dongyang County, the three major forces are at the head, and other small and medium-sized sects are more or less attached to these three forces. Just like the Bixia Sect, although it is extremely independent, in the eyes of outsiders, it is also They have a close relationship with Cumulus Peak. Of course, they didn't know that it was Yang Zhen who wanted to befriend Gu Yan, not the Bixia Sect who was actively attached to Cumulus Peak.

It's just that many people don't understand this. In their opinion, Bixia Sect and Cumulus Peak are definitely roles that can help each other. Although these three major forces cooperate temporarily in Lancang Valley, they are more competitive with each other. , the cooperation is only temporary, so the relationship between Gu Yan and Cumulus Peak is closer, and the Han and Tan families are more shy of her.

When the discussion was settled, everyone started to act. Several cloud boats were launched at the same time. The two injured disciples were placed on the cloud boat in the middle, and Nan Xianzi and Tan Zicheng looked after them. Gu Wei, seven or eight cloud boats were connected and slowly flew towards the distance. At the same time, a loud arrow was released to indicate where he was, and to show those sects that had not yet appeared, and quickly came to meet.

   The sounding arrow was released for a while, and they were also slowly moving forward. Sure enough, three more sects came to meet. These three sects are all small sects. They found a place to rest before nightfall, and placed restrictions around them, and did not notice anything unusual. After joining the team, listening to what happened last night, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

   The monster that was under the moonlight last night, everyone saw it, but it disappeared immediately, and they didn't know where it came from, but everyone was a little more vigilant in their hearts.

   But as he continued to move forward, Yang Zhen's expression became solemn. There are also two other sects, which have never been seen. These two sects happen to have a deep relationship with Cumulus Peak.

   Suddenly someone exclaimed, "There's someone there!"

The seven or eight cloud boats that were connected end to end all stopped at this moment, and I don’t know who called out. When I looked back, I realized that it was a disciple of Hu Zhiyuan. He was watching his senior brother on the cloud boat in the middle. While looking around, he saw something strange.

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers, and under a mountain ridge not far from the southwest corner, there was a towering tree slanting out. If you look closely, you can see that it's blood.

Three people stretched out their limbs, lying on the canopy in a "big" shape, and everyone's heads were tilted to one side, as if they were exhausted. Yang Zhen snorted and quickly rushed down from the cloud boat. .

Nanxianzi looked grim and went down with Yang Zhen. In addition to the disciples who stayed on Yunzhou, everyone also filed down. Lin Zitong, who was standing behind Gu Yan, said in a low voice, "It's the Master Ji in the Qinling Mountains. and disciples!"

Gu Yan looked at the three people who died on the tree canopy, and still had some impressions. When the Bixia Sect established its sect last year, this Sect Master Ji also came to congratulate him. It seemed that he had a deep relationship with Cumulus Peak. here?

At this time, Yang Zhen had already fallen to the top of the tree canopy. He picked up a disciple with one hand and saw that their heads were all hanging down weakly. There were two long fangs that pierced deeply into their necks, and the Sect Master Ji also had such a mark on his neck.

   Yang Zhen took their pulse with his hand, and knew that he was already exhausted and could not be treated. With a long sigh, he dropped their bodies and went to support the neck of the Sect Master Ji.

   Gu Yan suddenly shouted, "Don't move!"

   Yang Zhen stopped in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yan came over quickly, took out a jade bottle from her bosom, and threw it into Yang Zhen's hand, "Pour it into him!" With a crisp sound, Yang Zhen couldn't help but say in surprise: It seems to be filled with water, but why is it so heavy? Much heavier than an iron block of the same weight!

At this time, the spiritual spring that Gu Yan took from the chaotic space in her body. She used it once when she was injured under the Nine Heavens Cliff. bear, so she used it very rarely before.

Although Yang Zhen didn't know what it was, he also guessed that it was a spirit pill refined by Gu Yan, so he didn't dare to neglect. Although the person in front of him was completely dead, he still pried open the other party's teeth, and then took the bottle of spirit pills. Quan poured in hard.

The spiritual spring is extremely heavy. After entering the throat, it does not overflow like ordinary medicinal liquid, but quickly flows into the abdomen. This Sect Master Ji's body suddenly became cold to the bone, and even the cracks of his fingers showed thickness. Yang Zhen was caught off guard by the thick cold air, he threw his hand away at once, sucked in the cold air and said, "Why is it so cold!"

Gu Yan had no time to pay attention to him, her fingers flicked, dozens of long silver needles had appeared on her fingertips, ten fingers swayed in the air, pinpointed the position of the acupuncture point accurately, and placed the place where Bing Lingyan was located. The dozens of long needles that were transformed were all inserted into the opponent's body.

These dozens of long needles pierced almost all the acupoints on his body. Sect Master Ji suddenly had the slightest trace of black energy rising up, the smell was pungent, Gu Yan flicked his fingers, and the sparks of Ziluo Tianhuo flew out. , the black gas in the air was instantly evaporated. She said in a deep voice, "He was poisoned!"

  Yang Zhen saw Gu Yan's movements like flying, his shock calmed down a little, and his heart calmed down a little, and asked in a low voice, "Can it be saved?"

  Gu Yan said: "We came a little late, the toxins in his body are already deep, even if he can be rescued, I am afraid that his cultivation will be ruined."

  Yang Zhen let out a long sigh. For a cultivator, if one’s cultivation base is completely ruined, then life is indeed worse than death. But no matter what, you still have to save the next life. Only then did he remember what Gu Yan said, and he couldn't help but say in shock, "You said just now that he was poisoned?"

   Seeing Gu Yan's firm nod, Yang Zhen said in disbelief, "Isn't he injured by a monster, isn't it the same as the two disciples of Jiyun Peak and Heyingtan?"

Gu Yan shook her head, "Those two people can't find out where their injuries are now, they can only speculate that they were injured by monsters, there is no evidence, but the two dead people in front of them are actually poisoned. When they die, they have a very powerful cold poison in their bodies, and the yin evil energy is extremely heavy. It invades the meridians, seals all the acupoints in the body, and then quickly invades the limbs and bones, and it cannot be cured one step later. The two people have a relatively shallow cultivation base and have already died. This Ji Men has a relatively deep cultivation base. He uses the spiritual energy in his body to protect his mind and air, and retain a trace of breath. The suffocating qi has been removed. It's just that the meridians are seriously injured, and although I hold a sigh of relief, it is still unknown whether I can wake up or not."

   Yang Zhen heard the unfinished meaning in her words, and took a deep breath, "Since it is poisoning, then what you mean is that they..."

   Gu Yan said decisively: "I was hurt by someone in this valley!"

   When she said these words, there was an uproar, and as soon as Fairy Nan turned around, she glanced at everyone present with extremely cold eyes. Everyone who was caught by her gaze on the top of her head was stunned.

  Fairy Nan has always had a cold temper and didn't interact much with people. Tan Zicheng was annoyed when she saw it, "What do you mean, is it because the old man killed someone?" The disciples behind him also glared angrily.

  Han Wanru hurriedly came out to smooth things out, "Everyone is not an outsider, so why bother to argue, Fairy Gu didn't say it, it must be someone from us who succeeded, and besides everyone was together last night, who would have the time to go out and harm others?"

Gu Yan said with a sullen face: "It's not that someone here succeeded, with this person's sudden attack..." She stopped the second half of the sentence and didn't say any more, but everyone could hear that she was hidden. If he didn't say anything, I'm afraid that none of the people in the field could have a higher cultivation level than the person who made the sneak attack.

Gu Yan was thinking about the origin of the evil spirit in Jimen's main body. The extremely negative poison was somewhat similar to the cold poison in Bi Zhenzhen's body, but the Yin Qi was heavier than when she was in the underground palace. The suffocating aura that arrived was almost as if, where did it come from? She faintly felt as if she had caught something, but for a moment she couldn't figure it out. But in any case, before this Lancanggu, I am afraid it is not as simple as she thought before.

   At this time, Yang Zhen had already collected the bodies of the two dead disciples, waiting to go back and hand them over to their families. As for the Sect Master Ji, his eyes were still closed at this time, his body was cold, but a faint blush appeared on his skin, and he was no longer as lifeless as before. According to Gu Yan's estimation, he would need at least three Five days to wake up. Moreover, the head of the sect named Ji Quan, who has just formed the alchemy for more than ten years, even if he wakes up this time, I am afraid that he will be directly beaten back to the foundation, and this sect will be destroyed. In the future competition, only the end of being annexed. No wonder Yang Zhen still frowned deeply after hearing Gu Yan's words, full of worry.

   Several of them gathered together to discuss, Gu Yan whispered to the three women beside him: "This trip to Lancang Valley may be a little dangerous. Have you brought all the talismans on your body?"

The three girls all nodded. Before leaving, Gu Yan deliberately took three talismans from what Bi Zhenzhen had left for her, and put them on them. When it comes to things, if Gu Yan really has no time to take care of them, then at least one life can be saved. Gu Yan said again: "In the future, don't leave my sight, otherwise I won't be able to take care of you!"

   The three of them all responded, and they felt the tense atmosphere around them that was almost suffocating. In addition to being nervous, Mo Yan was also a little excited. Finally, he was able to see the big scene! In the Meridian Valley, she only listened to Gu Yan's dictation of the process at that time, which was not enjoyable. At this moment, she felt that the blood in her whole body was about to boil.

  Gu Yan comforted a few disciples, then walked over slowly and said, "What did you guys find?"

Yang Zhen shook his head, but Han Wanru said: "It can only be concluded that Sect Master Ji was caught off guard and was attacked, and the method was extremely clever, and he sealed the acupoints of the whole body at once, and the opponent must be able to cast it in an instant. The magic weapon is irresistible, and the time should be before the two disciples were attacked..."

Gu Yan was stunned, but she didn't expect that they could even infer when they were attacked. She immediately thought of a question, "In this case..." Since Ji Quan was attacked before the two disciples, that means everyone They haven't gathered together yet, which means that everyone is likely to attack Ji Quan!

   The faces of several people were very solemn, but no one said anything. Obviously, they all thought of this, but no one said it. If the matter is revealed at this time, it will inevitably cause people to panic and doubt each other. If anyone else takes this opportunity to cause trouble, it may cause a big change, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Gu Yan thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "I can trust all the people standing here, the two fairies from South and South Korea, and fellow Daoist Tan, all of them are the leaders of Dongyang County, even if there are disputes on weekdays, they will not It will be the person who is behind the scenes at this time, we must first unite our position, so as not to be disturbed by these complicated things, and go out of Lancang Valley with peace of mind!"
