Chapter 55 The smell of blood
After resting for a while, Meng Yuanhao finally recovered his magic power, took Luo Zhen and Tao Sicheng, and flew to the mountains with everyone.
Everyone had a speculation before, thinking that Zixiao Sect was preparing to enter the world again, but so many of them had been working on it for a long time, and now they even broke the formation. After waiting here for a while, there was no figure on the mountain.
This made everyone wonder. Could it be that the previous guess was wrong? This is really just a place of inheritance?
Otherwise, they would be attacked by someone and even the mountain protection formation would be broken. Not to mention an ancient sect like Zixiao Sect, even a third-rate sect can't stand it.
A place of inheritance has made such a big deal, which is worthy of being an ancient sect and has no human nature.
Everyone was flying while keeping alert and soon arrived at the densest area of the building, but there was a layer of formation protection besides the hugeest main hall.
But strangely, according to normal circumstances, in addition to the main hall, at least the library that contains various classics should also be protected by formations. However, after a glance, they did not see a second building protected by formations.
Is the main hall the library a library?
Although they had this doubt, everyone did not start to break the formation, but discussed it for a while, scattered and flew towards the surrounding buildings.
Although they have confirmed that it should not be the Zixiao Sect that is going to re-enter the world, the area to be investigated should be investigated.
However, what everyone did not notice was that after they scattered around, a monk flew quietly to the way he came and landed in a large field of medicine.
The herbs in this medicine field are not uncommon, they are all common herbs in the world of immortal cultivation. Even other monks can recognize this even if they are not good at refining medicine. So when they flew past this medicine field, others didn't care too much about it.
First, they disdain to pick these herbs, and second, as monks in the Nascent Soul stage, they are like bandits. They pluck their hair when they pass by, and they can't get any grass wherever they pass, which is too embarrassing.
At this moment, there were several monks from the Foundation Establishment Stage standing in this medicine field, quickly picking spiritual medicines, and the herb he had previously been interested in had been picked about half of it.
"Get out!"
With an angry shout, the monks flew backwards as if they were about to hit hard. They were still in the air and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
With a move, he took the storage bags on several people's bodies and opened them for inspection. After opening them, he only had a dozen of herbs that he liked, which was completely inconsistent with the missing parts.
Obviously, someone had already picked the herbs and left.
There is nothing he can do about this. Unless he can kill all the low-level monks present, he can ensure that this herb will not be spread.
Tsk, hurry up, but still one step slower.
With a light tongue, the monk stopped thinking about this and took out a herb. The monk observed it carefully and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Seven stars shine, two stars appear and disappear, it is indeed Guiyuan Grass!"
Immediately afterwards, the monk took out all the herbs in the storage bag, then reached out and grabbed the remaining herbs along with the land below, and carefully put them into the storage bag.
"Now I can only hope that those who pick the herbs will just treat them as ordinary seven-star grass."
He threw the storage bags aside, and the monk left again, returned to the group of buildings, looking like he was exploring the remains, and no one else was able to investigate.
After a while, the Nascent Soul monks gathered again to share the information they found.
"It's strange. If we say that this is just a place of inheritance, why are there so many houses for people to live in?" said one of the monks first.
"That's right, and some houses are obviously newly built temporarily. Compared with other houses, the construction method is much rougher, and it is obvious that they are rushing to work."
"Yes, if this is a place of inheritance, it would be better to say... it is like a place of refuge. People from a sect need to be concentrated on this mountain range, so so many rough houses were created."
"But if this is a shelter, what about that person? Why haven't anyone seen anyone before? Even if they are dead, there should be corpses or graves? There are so many houses, it's conceivable that there will definitely be no fewer people. There are so many people, there won't be even a Jindan stage? Even in the Jindan stage, the corpses will be enough to last for thousands of years. However, after searching, we found no corpses or graves."
"Fellow Taoists, I wonder if you have noticed one thing. Whether it is tables, chairs, benches, or bedding, even though some things have been weathered, just from the traces, these things are neatly arranged. Don't you find it strange?"
When he said this, the other monks also felt a little strange. So many people, are they the kind of hardworking people who have to organize their rooms every day?
This is obviously impossible.
After discussing it, everyone turned their attention to the remaining main hall.
If there is an answer, it can only be in this main hall.
Meng Yuanhao looked serious and stared at the main hall and said, "Sicheng, Luo Zhen, you go back first. I have a bad premonition. It is probably not that simple here."
Luo Zhen thought that he could get some benefits with Meng Yuanhao, but the more he heard them say it, the more he felt something was strange here. Hearing Meng Yuanhao said this, of course he had no objection and left quickly with Tao Sicheng.
After they left, the nineteen Nascent Soul cultivators arrived in front of the main hall.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological illusion, but before I came to the main hall again, everyone suddenly felt a little depressed. Even looking at the plaque on the main hall with the three big words “Zixiao Palace” written on it, I felt a little strange.
Several formation cultivators on the field carefully investigated the formation. After a moment, they determined which formation to protect this hall was.
The Xuantula Mountain Town Formation.
This formation is a complete defense array with extremely strong defense functions and can only be opened from the inside. With this name, this name is also called the Turtle Shell Formation, which is an extremely classic formation.
However, after tens of thousands of years, as many as four loopholes have been discovered in this formation, so the Xuangui Mountain Town Formation used now has two completely different formations from the ancient times.
Obviously, the formation used by Zixiao Palace naturally cannot be a complete version, but a missing version. Therefore, after finding the heels of this formation, several people quickly found the loopholes in the formation and worked together to break it.
After breaking the formation, everyone kept alert and pushed open the door of the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of blood came to my face!
