Chapter 63: Rotten Bone Flower (Part 2)
Gu Shihan thought for a moment and asked, "Xingbai, if that's the case, can we just restrain our spiritual power and disguise ourselves as mortals?!"
"It should be possible. Tell everyone the method and ask them to be patient and wait for the cage to open so they can save themselves!"
"Yes!" Gu Shihan's spiritual sense locked onto them one by one and passed his method to everyone.
Everyone was knowledgeable, and when the iron cage could not be opened, they were trying to find ways to save themselves. They accepted Gu Shihan's suggestion well, and silently practiced their mental skills, trying to gather their spiritual power in their bodies.
Just as everyone was working hard, a white-haired old man with an immortal look stepped on a cloud and stood in the air. He looked at the monks in the black iron cage and said, "Hahahaha, you are indeed elites. You know the times and don't make noise. To tell you the truth, making noise is really not a wise move. It's better for you to enjoy these last moments quietly. Hahahaha!"
"Old man, can you tell us why you arrested us?"
"Yes! We don't want to die. Let us out, or I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
“Hahahahahaha, you want a reason, since you have been quiet and not causing trouble for me, I will give you one.
The reason is the Rotten Bone Flower. Don't you know that the Rotten Bone Flower needs the fresh flesh and blood and spiritual power of the monks to stimulate it? You should be happy because you have stimulated the Rotten Bone Flower to bloom, and the Rotten Bone Flower can save countless lives. Do you think you are great? Hahahahahahaha"
"What bullshit greatness? You are taking human life lightly. What's the point of exchanging lives for each other? If you still have a conscience, let us go immediately!"
"Yes! Yes! Let us go, let us go!"
Everyone was talking at once, but the white-haired old man just smiled and looked at everyone with interest.
"Elder, is the food ready? How many meat men are there together?" At this time, a deep voice came from a distance.
"Master, everything is ready. Our luck is very good this time. We have successfully captured 207 people, and we can produce 207 bone-rot flowers." The white-haired old man looked at the people in the iron cage with ill intentions and smiled sinisterly.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of people wearing black masks and monks in black robes came to the valley.
Each of them picked up two iron cages, walked out of the valley, and after walking for about half a cup of tea, they came to a suspension bridge.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of people inhaling. Gu Shihan turned around and saw that everyone's faces were filled with fear. He followed their gaze and looked down.
Under the suspension bridge, there were bones everywhere. It was obvious that they were human bones. The number of bones was so large that it made people's scalp tingle. How many people died? This was definitely not something that could be formed overnight.
Gu Shihan, who was originally calm, felt a chill in his heart and turned pale. What a cruel world of immortal cultivation, what a terrible Tianyuan Secret Realm! What an inhumane Tianyuan City.
"Sister! Isn't this too cruel?!" Yu Tong was angry.
"Yutong, be quiet!" Gu Shihan reminded hurriedly.
The men in black robes crossed the suspension bridge, walked for a while, and appeared under the bridge. They placed the black iron cages one by one near the white bulges.
When the black iron cages fell into place, the men in black robes retreated quickly and soon disappeared.
The white-haired old man stood on the suspension bridge and looked around. Then he nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hands and made a few gestures into the air. White mist rose and enveloped the valley.
The lock of the iron cage made a "click" sound and the door of the iron cage opened.
Gu Shihan restrained his spiritual power, thought for a moment, and then pasted an isolation talisman on his body. Then he carefully got out of the iron cage.
Relying on the contractual connection, he reached out and pulled Yutong into the space.
Gu Shihan looked around. There was so much white fog that he couldn't see anyone else. He couldn't even use his spiritual sense. He wondered how the others were doing.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Shihan saw a huge bone flower that was rooted in a corpse. The white bone flower was slowly blooming, and its leaves were as crystal clear as ice and snow.
Gu Shihan was silent for a moment, it seemed that a fellow Taoist had met with misfortune. He watched helplessly as the white flowers slowly turned into blood red, was it ripe?
"Elder, should we wait?" A male voice came over, scaring Gu Shihan so much that she stopped all her movements and dared not move, for fear that someone would discover her presence.
"No need, come back in seven days. It's impossible to collect the flowers now." The white-haired old man said calmly.
"Oh! Elder, won't the prematurely blooming bone flowers be wasted?"
"No, the ancestors have set up a formation here. The rotten bone flower can survive for seven days as long as there are nutrients. Let's go. With the white fog here, there is nothing we can do even if we want to watch."
Gu Shihan didn't dare to move, for fear that the noise would alarm the people outside. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until there was no more sound.
"Hanhan, put away the rotten bone flower quickly! Although the growth process of this thing is evil, its function is extremely good." Xingbai interrupted Gu Shihan's silence.
"Okay!" Gu Shihan took out the jade box, picked the rotten bone flower, and continued searching in the white fog, trying to find other people, but for some reason, he didn't meet anyone along the way.
"Look! There's another bone-rotting flower over there!"
Gu Shihan walked in the white fog and collected nine rotten bone flowers.
"Hey, there's someone!" Gu Shihan walked over and saw a cultivator lying on the ground. The white bulge on the side seemed to be moving towards the cultivator.
Gu Shihan walked over quickly and stuck an isolation talisman on the cultivator. The white bump bulged, but he didn't feel anything and became quiet again.
"Xingbai, Yutong, what should we do with this guy? He fainted! It seems that his blood and energy are damaged!" Gu Shihan had a headache. It was really difficult to deal with the problem without being able to use his spiritual power.
"Hanhan, use the Qiankun House. I will use the power of confinement to protect you."
"Okay! I have no choice but to take a risk." Gu Shihan poured spiritual power into his hands, grabbed and threw, and the person disappeared.
The white bulge seemed to sense the spiritual power, shook a few times, and then became quiet again.
Gu Shihan stared at the white bulge, "Xingbai, is there any way to destroy it?"
"Yes! Your Red Lotus Karma Fire can do it!"
Gu Shihan nodded, and a wisp of red lotus fire quickly rushed towards the white bulge. The bulge shook a few times and quickly turned into black ash. The white bones within a radius of ten feet shattered into powder.
Gu Shihan didn't know how long he had been walking in the white fog. During this time he rescued dozens of people. He collected all the rotten bone flowers he encountered and burned all the white bumps.
There were fewer and fewer bones on the ground, and the white mist seemed to have faded a lot after the bones turned into powder, and everything in the distance could be vaguely seen.
After rescuing the 183rd person, there were no more bones on the ground. It seemed that we had to leave immediately.
The owner of the Rotten Bone Flower must be able to feel it being destroyed.
