Chapter 301: Corpse Planting Rice
The phoenix has two layers of wings, the outer layers of which are colorful, as gorgeous as the wings of a phoenix.
On the inside of the wings is a layer of membranous wing with mysterious patterns, as sharp as a magical sword.
Its body exudes a colorful glass-like glow, and its six claws are covered with fine scales and have sharp hooks.
After reaching the Dao Seed Realm, even if it did not release its camouflage aura, it still had a terrifying aura. Just one of it could challenge a third-level Dao Seed Realm expert like Ye Nanfeng.
If you use the strength and aura of a commander-level person and summon the swarm of insects to help, you can even win.
Dafeng led the way and came to the low building of the book pavilion near the red fire bamboo forest in Nanqing Palace. The air was filled with the fragrance of bamboo leaves.
The low building has only two floors and a pavilion-like structure. It has no windows and only four-foot-high wooden walls.
Li Weiyi cleaned the bookstall.
The bookshelf was covered with dust, and Yao Qingxuan hardly ever came here.
On the second floor.
Tang Wanzhou sat on the floor between two bookshelves, flipping through a yellowed book.
During the chase, she was seriously injured and even her hair crown was broken by Yao Qingxuan. She looked very embarrassed.
At this moment, her long hair was scattered on both sides of her cheeks, her face was pale without a trace of blood, her magic tools and shoes were lost, and she was sitting against the bookshelf with a pair of bare feet, not looking like a lady at all.
“Boom boom!”
There were footsteps coming from the stairs.
Not long after, Li Weiyi saw her and suddenly had a headache. He nervously glanced at the blue-tiled jade palace in the distance and whispered, "Shaojun, what are you doing here?"
Tang Wanzhou didn't find the information he was looking for, so he put the car book back on the bookshelf and looked up: "That Nan Zun left, so naturally I came here!"
"If people find out, I won't be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Sui River," said Li Weiyi.
Tang Wanzhou said: "Then how can you wash away the guilt of your fiancée Zuoqiu Hongting and Li Songgu by worshipping the master of the evil cult and being so affectionate with Yang Qingxi?"
Li Weiyi stared at her for a moment. "Young Master, what is your purpose in coming to the headquarters? To save people, or is it a premeditated plan?"
Tang Wanzhou leaned against the bookshelf, closed his eyes, and his eyelashes were very long. "Don't be so nervous. I am not here to force you to help me. It just happens that Nanqing Palace has become the safest place for the cult headquarters and is suitable for hiding. You are in danger and have no choice, but you can still think about rescuing Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo, and you don't hesitate to put yourself in greater danger. To be honest, I admire you very much, because in terms of friendship, I am not as good as you."
Tang Wanzhou did not give a clear answer, but Li Weiyi already knew the answer.
It turned out that her most fundamental purpose in gathering a large number of people into the underground fairy palace was to attack the Twin Rice Sect.
The so-called search for the Book of Shining Stars is not the real purpose.
Li Weiyi asked, "I want to know, did you invite me to the underground immortal palace to borrow insects? Or am I also one of the baits to lure the Twin Rice Sect to make a move?"
“Does this question make sense?”
Tang Wanzhou added: "Just like you said, even if you didn't go with me, you would have gone to the underground immortal palace by yourself. Wouldn't the final result be the same?"
Li Weiyi said, "But your plan caused many deaths. Lord Tiger died, and Tuoba Butuo is still in the Fourth God's Mansion, and he has lost one arm. I want an explanation, is that too much?"
“Not too much.”
Tang Wanzhou nodded gently and narrated: "At first, I just wanted to use myself as bait, but after entering the underground immortal palace several times, the Twin Rice Sect did not make a move. Therefore, I can't be sure whether their headquarters is in the underground immortal palace."
"If we want to lure them into action... or force them to take action, we need to gather enough experts to act together."
“But I think it’s still not enough.”
"It just so happens that you, the chosen one who is so popular at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, have started a fight with the evil cult and are tracking them down everywhere. At the same time, they are also looking for you and want to capture you. I think they want the seven strange insects. After all, the environment of the underground fairy palace can be of great use to the seven strange insects."
"If I take you and the seven strange insects down to the underground immortal palace, there will be a greater chance of luring them out."
"After investigating your Feng Mansion, I actually felt a pity for your talent, so I advised you not to go, and at the same time, I also told you about the dangers in a subtle way."
Li Weiyi felt that Tang Wanzhou was like a person without any emotions. She narrated all this in a very calm tone.
In her eyes, Tang Hu, Tuoba Butuo and other strong men and geniuses from the North were just chess pieces that could be sacrificed at any time as long as her goal could be achieved.
"It's just to confirm whether the Twin Rice Sect's headquarters is in the underground immortal palace?" Li Weiyi said.
Tang Wanzhou asked, "Do you think this is a trivial matter?"
Li Weiyi looked at the swaying bamboo branches outside the window and waited for her to continue.
Tang Wanzhou had to convince Li Weiyi, as only Li Weiyi could take her out, so he was very patient: "You have also seen the strange changes on the ground! The entire prefecture was covered by a large number of tombstones and graves that suddenly appeared, and they expanded to Qiuzhou and other surrounding prefectures at a very fast speed."
"I have communicated with the ancestor of the Confucianism and Taoism of Zuoqiu Menting. In history, there have been several similar incidents, which can be found in the annals. Some were caused by the invasion of the netherworld of the dead, and some were caused by the resurrection of the emperor's corpse... In short, none of them were good things, and terrible disasters broke out."
"One of them has to do with Rice Man!"
"That one is called Corpse Planting Rice."
"According to records, tens of thousands of years ago, the Rice Man once set up a large altar formation for planting rice with Yin corpses underground in a habitat, using the power of sacrifice to push the Yin energy from the underground into the surface."
"When the pollen of rice flowers is blown by the wind and falls on the graves, the corpses in the graves will turn into an army of rice corpses, eating all the living people in the entire habitat."
“After that, the entire habitat was transformed into rice fields, and it remains a country of rice farmers to this day.”
Li Weiyi frowned tightly, "There are so many masters in the world, can't we flatten the tombstones and graves on the ground in advance?"
"How many people have been buried underground since ancient times? If you bulldoze one, another will grow up."
Tang Wanzhou continued: "No one knows whether the strange things that happened in Fuzhou are in this situation, so the strong men from all major forces have been attracted here to investigate the cause."
"The reason why we suspect the Twin Rice Sect Leaders is that in the past few hundred years, the evil cult has become increasingly active. It has gradually emerged from the darkness."
"When they dare to show up in the open, it means that the darkness can no longer hide how powerful they are."
"The imperial court and all the major sects have investigated and captured some cult leaders, but most of them are extreme followers of Tianxia Temple. Some of them have only heard of the main temple, and some have their five senses blocked when entering and leaving the main temple, so they have no idea what the main temple is like."
"But all investigations point to the cult's headquarters, hidden in Fuzhou."
"Twelve years ago, the world was in chaos. After that, no one had the energy to continue investigating the cult, and the imperial court became the common enemy of the world."
Li Weiyi said: "Could the cause of the chaos in the world be related to the Twin Rice Cult? In this way, they can divert the attention of all parties and let the human race kill each other? Then, they can take advantage of the situation and complete the final harvest."
Tang Wanzhou pondered for a moment: "From the perspective of the biggest beneficiary, this is possible. But I don't think they are strong enough to influence Yu Yaozi."
She continued: "Actually, this is not something I should have done. I am just a junior. I am also afraid of death, and I don't want to take such a big risk."
“But it’s clear that the cult quickly reacted to the exposure of the underground immortal residence and used some means to prevent people above the Immortal Realm from entering the entrance.”
"I, a junior, have suddenly become the strongest person who can enter the underground immortal palace. How can the strongest person shirk responsibility?"
Li Weiyi suddenly understood her and sighed, "Chaoran can't get in either?"
"It's hard to say. I think there should be a way to get in."
Tang Wanzhou said: "But do you think that Qilin Zang really hit the entrance to the underground fairy palace by chance?"
"He must have failed to capture Qiuzhou City and Zhumen, and knew it would be difficult to take Lingxiao Habitat in one battle. He also didn't want the Twin Rice Sect to reap the benefits, so he deliberately exposed them."
"The people of the human race and the demon race are all above the rest. One year ago, both sides were defeated and only a few of them still have their full strength."
"Under such circumstances, even if two or three Transcendents in their prime break into the underground immortal palace, they will most likely be killed inside and die without a burial place. The terrain here is too complicated and everything is unknown. Who knows what arrangements the cult has made?"
"The ancestor of the Zuoqiu Sect's Confucianism and Taoism is an active promoter who wants to solve the potential hidden dangers in the underground immortal palace."
"But he told me that he went to Lei Xiao Sect and sought out Chao Ran from Lei Xiao Sect to join forces. The other party asked him if he had set up a killing formation in the underground immortal mansion in order to trap and kill him."
"The Lei Xiao Sect is still relatively good. Although they are afraid of being plotted against by the Zuo Qiu Sect, they at least sent a giant from the Immortal Realm to Fuzhou to actively investigate."
"And our Xuejian Tangting's Chaoran went to look for someone to join forces, but the other party either refused due to injuries, or suspected that Xuejian Tangting was in collusion with the demon clan and arranged a killing method in the underground fairy palace."
"Li Weiyi, not everyone in this world can take responsibility!"
"Unity has always been difficult since ancient times. Unless they encounter a life-and-death crisis like the one that happened to Qilin Zang and the demon race, the transcendents will either be suspicious or want to see others take risks and let others die first to protect themselves."
Li Weiyi nodded gently: "If we can achieve internal unity, there will be no dynasty change. The fundamental reason for disunity is that everyone is fighting for power and profit."
"You're right, that's it."
Tang Wanzhou said: "Take the Transcendental War a year ago as an example. As far as I know, there was a fallen human Transcendent, and his power was soon divided up by other human forces. His descendants were enslaved, abused, and killed until their entire race was exterminated. This is too chilling!"
"How do you expect Chaoran to give generously?"
"This is an era of war and chaos, an era without rules. The resistance to the Changsheng Ban on Weapons is huge, and no one is willing to obey anyone else... There is still a knife hanging over the court."
"Without an emperor who can make the final decision, set the rules, and constrain everyone, everyone has to be cautious in doing things."
"So I can understand the caution of those transcendents."
"So someone has to stand up, and someone has to die first. So I came here, and I want to bring back accurate information. With accurate information, we can unite all the forces that can be united, attack directly, and resolve the crisis before it breaks out."
