Chapter 525 Found the Right Place

The Penglai group was silent for a long time.

"sky."

Chang Huaijin turned his head away with some reluctance, "How did these people... die..."

He has always been the softest-hearted.

Xiao Xuantong had followed Feng Wuya to the battlefield before, so he could accept the bloody scenes well.

"I don't know." Xiao Xuantong said.

Xiao Xuantong took a few steps forward and squatted beside a dead body sitting cross-legged. He lowered his eyes and carefully examined every inch of the corpse: "At least, this was not man-made."

"There were no external injuries, the clothes were intact, the face was peaceful, and the body was not completely decomposed."

Chi Jin had already looked at most of the bodies. He nodded and said, "There are no external injuries on these bodies."

Chi Jin recalled what Cui Yanjun had said, "Generally speaking, because the bodies of cultivators have been tempered by heavenly thunder, the more advanced the cultivator's cultivation, the longer their body will remain undefeated after death."

"Can you estimate the date of death?" Ruan Wei asked.

Ruan Wei is not good at medicine. Although he has some theoretical knowledge, he is not as good as Chi Jin, who has studied medicine seriously.

Chi Jin shook her head. "If there wasn't a spirit gathering array here, it would be possible to push it. But now it's not possible. The remaining spiritual energy in the corpse has been sucked away, and it's impossible to determine the corpse's cultivation level before it died."

Ruan Wei frowned.

She stood quite far away. Ruan Wei always stayed away from things like corpses that might give birth to some strange things.

"Let me take a look."

Wu Yu had seen corpses everywhere before, so she was not afraid and squatted down with Xiao Xuantong.

Watched for a while.

Wu Yu said, "It's not a popular dress from the past hundred years, and probably not from recent monks either. Let me think... this dress looks a bit like the feathered robe that was popular for a while three thousand years ago."

"Chang Huaijin! Come and take a look!" Wu Yu suddenly called out.

Chang Huaijin came over happily.

Wu Yu asked, "Look, does this hem look like the one in the painting on the far left in the Chang family ancestral hall? Doesn't the ancestor in the painting seem to be wearing similar clothing?"

Chang Huaijin bent over, squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, and compared it with the portrait in his memory.

Finally confirmed: "Yes! The sleeves and hem are just like this."

Ruan Wei raised an eyebrow, "So these are corpses from three thousand years ago?"

"I can't be sure," Wu Yu said hesitantly. She was a very meticulous person and rarely gave completely certain answers. "But it should be close."

Ruan Wei nodded and patted Wu Yu's shoulder to express her praise: "Very good."

"Anyway, we don't have any more information. Knowing that this is a cultivator from three thousand years ago is already quite difficult."

Wu Yu felt a little embarrassed by the praise, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"but--"

Finally, Ruan Wei suddenly changed the subject: "If there were no external injuries, how did they die? And they were all gathered in twos and threes in this secret room."

This is a key issue.

Xiao Xuantong stood up on his knees. He lowered his head and patted the hem of his clothes. "I don't know."

Ruan Wei murmured, "...perhaps he died of sleeplessness?"

After hearing this, Chi Jin seemed to suddenly remember something. He ran back and pushed hard at the stone door that had just closed automatically.

Then.

Chi Jin walked back with an ugly look on his face. He shook his head: "I can't push it away."

Xiao Xuantong didn't believe it and pushed the door open with his arms bared.

Xiao Xuantong: "Huh!!!"

The stone door, which was not very thick to begin with, became as heavy as lead and iron. No matter how hard Xiao Xuantong tried, he couldn't push it open, not even a tiny gap.

Helpless, Xiao Xuantong had to give up.

Chi Jin spread his hands and said, "I've tried everything."

Xiao Xuantong said, "Isn't this because I'm worried that you don't have enough strength?"

Chi Jin: "..."

"If you don't like it, take it back."

Xiao Xuantong readily agreed: "Okay, okay, you are the one with the most strength."

Chi Jin: "..."

He disliked hearing such perfunctory words for a three-year-old child even more.

Chang Huaijin was a little anxious. He couldn't stay in the dark illusion for too long. "Ah?! Are we locked in there?! Tonic wow——"

Wu Yu glanced at him and frowned, "What are you shouting about? Keep your voice down and don't disturb me from thinking."

Chang Huaijin pouted and pinched his little mouth tactfully.

But his throat was still mumbling: "That's right, the stone door did close suddenly..."

Wu Yu raised her eyes and said, "You're being too long-winded."

Her face was filled with four words - say another word and you will die.

Chang Huaijin: "..."

Wu Yu said, "Anyway, I won't make a fuss while my senior sister is trying to figure out a solution. This may have something to do with my upbringing."

Chang Huaijin: "..."

Sister, aren’t we one family?

Wu Yu's recent weirdness seems to have been passed down from Ruan Wei, and her attack power is even stronger than ever.

Hear this.

The other two who were still talking suddenly fell silent.

joke!

The brain is working, so they certainly can't interrupt it! Please, this is the only intact brain left in our entire team!

Ruan Wei was indeed very calm at this time.

Ruan Wei tried her best to avoid the dead bodies lying on the ground. Holding the night pearl, she walked slowly through every corner of the secret room, her sharp eyes scanning this not-so-big secret room bit by bit.

There seems to be no exit here, but there also seems to be something else.

A moment later.

Ruan Wei sighed deeply.

Xiao Xuantong couldn't hold it in any longer: "Weiwei, why are you sighing? Did you discover something?"

"Well, I guess so." Ruan Wei replied.

Then, Ruan Wei extended her hand towards Chi Jin.

The moment Chi Jin's eyes met hers, he took out a silk handkerchief and placed it in Ruan Wei's hand very naturally. He didn't even know why.

Wu Yu and Chang Huaijin: "..."

Why does it feel like they are even more in tune with each other than if they were twins?

Without the slightest surprise, Ruan Wei took the handkerchief very calmly.

She squatted down and said softly, "Senior, I'm sorry to disturb you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Wei gently grasped the hand of a dead body through the silk handkerchief and lifted it up.

This action actually looks a bit weird.

Xiao Xuantong disagreed: "Just say it, don't do it."

Xiao Xuantong was just observing and didn't touch it.

Those who practiced Taoism still had some taboos about disturbing the dead. Taoists, Buddhists, and even demons still valued a peaceful burial. Only the demons believed in being born and raised by nature, and they cared little about the corpses of their own kind.

Ruan Wei waved her hand: "It's okay, it's cushioned."

The senior's pale hands are very slender, with long knuckles, and they look quite nice when you look at them for a long time.

Ruan Wei remained calm and pointed to a spot: "Look here."

The four of them all leaned forward, crowding together, and looked at the pale hand in the soft halo of the pearl.

Chi Jin was the first to recognize it: "It's a cocoon."

Ruan Wei gave him an admiring look and curled her lips, "Yes, and this is the cocoon that only people who practice formations will have."

She gently put her hand back to its original place, stood up and bowed to the senior again, then turned to her fellow disciples and said:

"We found the right place."
