Chapter 842
The white fog in the Evil Spirit Valley has not dissipated all year round, and the sight is difficult to reach far away. The two of them looked deep into the valley and saw only the horizontal cracks everywhere, which are unfathomable.
Among these cracks, some are ordinary, while others have unique worlds. There may be some treasures hidden in them, or some dangers may be hidden.
Li Muran and the shopkeeper carefully flew slowly in the low altitude of the Evil Spirit Valley. The classics only mentioned that there is a terrible existence here, which specifically devours the spiritual thoughts of immortal cultivators, but there is no detailed information, so they can only explore slowly by themselves.
Among the deep cracks, some kept blazing waves of air, some were thick white fog, and some were gusts of cold wind, which were obviously strange.
"If you don't have a deep investigation, you will never get any results!" Li Muran suggested: "Let's take a deeper look!"
The shopkeeper nodded, and the two of them immediately came over a crack.
The two looked deep into the crack, but they could not see the end at a glance. In a vague way, Li Muran felt that the place was full of spiritual energy and the scent of grass and trees was strong.
The two slowly flew into the depths of the crack. After passing through the thick fog, they landed at the bottom of the crack.
The grass and trees here are green and full of vitality, and look unique. The breeze is gentle and the birds sing and the fragrance of flowers looks peaceful.
However, under this peaceful appearance, Li Muran immediately discovered that under an ancient tree with sparse branches and leaves not far away, there was a skeleton lying.
The flesh of the skeleton had already melted away, leaving only the thick white bones, but there was a broken Taoist robe on the bones. You can even vaguely see that there was an ancient storage bag in the sleeves of the Taoist robe, and there was also a jade bracelet on the wrist of the bones, which was obviously a common storage ring for monks in the spiritual world.
High-level monks usually carry several types of storage treasures, some of which are used to store a large number of treasures for cultivation, and some are used to store talismans, magic weapons, etc. that may be used when facing enemies, so that they can be used in time. Some high-level monks even have their own caves.
"Is there a monk who died here?" The shopkeeper was stunned: "I saw that his body had not been discovered yet, and the storage rings were still here."
"Be careful!" Li Muran said cautiously: "This should be a trap! This crack is very conspicuous, and people should often come here. Judging from the shape of this skeleton, it has been dead for at least a hundred years. No one has discovered it for a hundred years, which is really extraordinary!"
"That's right!" The shopkeeper nodded, "If you take it lightly or get attracted by the storage ring and rashly approach the corpse, you will probably be ambushed! This method can only lure some freshman cultivators into being deceived. If you have experienced some storms, how can you be deceived by this? It seems that the person who sets up the methods is not very clever!"
The two of them looked around vigilantly. Since there were traps here, the person who set them up should be nearby.
However, after careful investigation, the two of them found nothing. The underground area was only a few miles in size, and it was fully visible.
"It seems that the problem lies in this wooden locust tree!" Li Muran pointed at the ancient tree.
He secretly used his magic power, stretched out his fingers and bounced it, and a flash of inspiration turned into a huge light blade in the air, slashing towards the ancient tree.
"Crack!" The light blade slashed on the ancient tree, and the light blade turned into a few spiritual lights and dispersed, but it didn't even cut the bark!
"It's true that something strange!" Li Muran was shocked. How could an ordinary ancient tree be so strong!
Suddenly, a terrain shaking, and the roots of the ancient tree suddenly surged and spread rapidly around. The surrounding heaven and earth were absorbed by the ancient trees in an instant. The branches and leaves of the ancient trees also grew very fast in an instant, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, covering the entire exit.
In an instant, the crack canyon was completely enveloped by ancient trees. Even the underground was divided into pieces, and the roots of trees that appeared about a foot were penetrated from the ground. The surrounding land became dry and cracked inch, and the place where birds sing and flowers scented in an instant became a place, as if all the essence was absorbed by the ancient trees!
"You can't even think about going out when you arrive at my place!" A thick old man's voice came from the ancient tree.
Li Muran frowned: "It's a monk of the Wood Spirit Clan! This wooden locust tree should be his body!"
The shopkeeper nodded, and a golden light flashed on his body, sacrificing the power of the Phantom. He reached out to grab it, and the Phantom's spiritual light gathered in his hand and turned into a golden long sword. A layer of golden dragon scales were also attached to the surface of his body.
Li Muran immediately opened his mouth and squirted out his natal magic weapon, Star-Sucking Sword.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew up around, and countless ghosts cried and cried. Immediately afterwards, gray and white ghost shadows flew out from the wooden locust tree and rushed towards Li Muran and the others with a ferocious look.
"So many evil spirits!" Li Muran was shocked. Wooden locust belonged to Yin, and it was originally a spiritual wood that was prone to gather Yin energy and attract ghosts. What's more, this is a high-level wood spirit that has achieved success in cultivation and has already activated its spiritual intelligence.
Mu Ling's low voice came from all around him: "These ghosts are all the monks I killed! Their flesh and blood have become the best nourishment for me, and their souls have also become ghost slaves driven by me. You two will join them soon! I just lack two ghost generals to command the ghost slaves. You two have good cultivation, which is just right!"
"It turns out to be an evil wood spirit!" The shopkeeper's face changed slightly: "This kind of wood spirit directly absorbs the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators or high-level monsters as nutrients, and can absorb the essence of heaven and earth. It practices very quickly and has great magical powers! What's more, this evil wood locust is also good at exorcizing ghosts!" These ghosts are just soul bodies, and have no divine consciousness, and the Meizu magical powers have no special effects on them.
"It's just some lonely ghosts, not high-level ghost cultivators who have achieved success in cultivation, so don't worry!" Li Muran's mouth slightly raised, and he reached out to take out two golden talismans from his sleeve.
He stretched out his finger and bounced two spiritual magic tricks, and immediately activated the two golden talismans.
The golden talisman immediately turned into a ball of golden light and burst out. Countless golden Sanskrits emerged in the explosion. Each golden Sanskrit was about the size of a meter, with a dazzling golden light shining on the surface.
"Buddhist mantra!" Xie Muling exclaimed and hurriedly ordered the ghosts to escape.
However, at this time the golden Sanskrit languages had surrounded the ghosts. The Buddha light shining on the surface of Sanskrit was very restrained against the ghosts. The ghosts did not dare to approach these golden Sanskrit languages, and were gradually trapped by Sanskrit and squeezed into a range of several feet in size.
"Fellow Daoist Li actually has Buddhist talismans?" The shopkeeper was shocked. He thought Li Muran was a Taoist monk, but he didn't expect that he could even have Buddhist talismans.
In fact, these talismans are treasures refined by Li Muran when he was in the lower realm. As the number one cultivator in the lower realm, Li Muran has some friendship with several monks from the first Buddhist Leiyin Temple in the lower realm. With their help, some Buddhist talismans have been refined. Moreover, Buddhist talismans are an important branch of the talisman technique, and there are detailed records in the ten thousand volumes of Langhuan Cave Heaven left by Taoist Tianxuan. Li Muran has also spent a lot of effort to study this.
These ghosts are not too strong, so they can be restrained by using Buddhist mantras refined from the lower realm. If they are truly powerful ghost cultivators, these talismans will be a little too good to see.
Li Muran suddenly shook the star-sucking sword in his hand gently, and a green light flashed in the sword body, a green shadow flew out, transforming into a hideous ghost face.
This is the weapon spirit tamed by Li Muran. This vengeful spirit has been following Li Muran for many years, but Li Muran always feels that it is of little use, so he did not cultivate it carefully.
It’s different when you reach the spiritual world. The resentful spirit is also a kind of spiritual cultivator. If you can activate your spiritual intelligence and your cultivation level rises sharply, you can become Li Muran’s capable stop and also give him more magical powers to his own magic weapon.
The resentful spirit is essentially a ball of evil spirits, so whether it is the evil spirit, the aura of sorrow, the body of ghosts, the body of nothingness, etc., which contain evil spirits or pure essences, are all great things tonics for it.
"I'll give these ghosts to you." Li Muran said.
The resentful spirit was overjoyed and rushed towards the ghosts, but it was a little afraid of the golden Sanskrit.
Li Muran stretched out his finger and opened a gap in the aperture surrounding Sanskrit. These ghosts without divine consciousness immediately subconsciously rushed here. The resentful spirit was already guarding this place, and it turned into a bloody mouth dozens of feet tall, swallowing all these ghosts!
"Damn it!" The evil wood spirit roared angrily, and the branches and leaves of the ancient tree were trembling, demonstrating its anger.
Suddenly, branches and trunks peeled off from the ancient tree and turned into sharp blue wooden swords, which rushed towards Li Muran and others.
"Let me do it!" The shopkeeper rushed forward with a flash of golden light. He waved the golden swords in his hand and easily cut off the wooden swords one by one. After the wooden swords were cut off, they dissipated into a few green lights and disappeared, obviously just a wisp of pure wood-attribute spiritual energy.
Most of the wooden swords were blocked by the shopkeeper, and only a small number of them hit Li Muran. Li Muran gently waved the Star-Sucking Sword and calmly resolved it.
Li Muran's heart moved. The methods used by the Evil Wood Spirit were very ordinary, which was inconsistent with the powerful aura it emitted.
Li Muran was wondering why this was happening, but suddenly the shopkeeper's face changed drastically and exclaimed: "Oh no, poisonous!"
Li Muran suddenly realized that the evil wood spirit had already covered the nearby space, and at the same time it also emitted a faint fragrance of grass and trees. As long as Li Muran and others fought here, they would naturally inhale these grass and trees. Unexpectedly, there was a slow toxicity in it.
It was not until this time that the shopkeeper discovered that he was poisoned. By the time he discovered this chronic toxicity, it was too late. The shopkeeper immediately felt that the magic power in his body had changed drastically, and even the golden light of the phantom on his body was greatly dimmed.
"So it's just using poison quietly!" Li Muran smiled slightly.
