Chapter 138 The so-called Ten Thousand Races! "What is that?" Xi Mingren was at this time...
"What is that?" The playful man also became interested at this time.
That is to say, in their mountains, there is a god blessing them and they are covered by strange artifacts such as the Bronze Mirror Goddess. Even with the double-layer barrier, unknown enemies actually appeared on the mountain.
Or is it something that both the Ghost Scholar and Lu Ge are afraid of?
"Could this insect have existed in the mountains originally?" After pondering silently for a moment, Xi Mingren couldn't help but say.
"I'm checking." Ye Lu did not give the assassin an accurate answer. He only spoke about his actions. It was strange that when this insect was alive, it had no power or breath. But after it died, its breath became quite active and one could even sense some strange residues.
Ye Lu closed his eyes and felt it. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
This aura... how come it seems more and more like that of a Taoist? Ye Lu silently compared this aura in his heart. The more he compared it, the more he couldn't help but frown. He was sure that this thing was definitely not something that an orthodox Taoist could have.
"Has the matter been resolved?" The ghost scholar had been waiting in his room for the matter to be resolved. He also heard the loud explosion and continued to wait for a while before going out to look for Ye Lu and the man who played the murderer. As soon as he entered the room, he heard the two of them talking.
The ghost scholar looked at the insects in the formation. Of course he also saw the facial features of the insects and couldn't help but frowning.
"Ah Gui is here, you should come and take a look too." Ye Lu heard the movement of the ghost scholar, turned around and motioned for the ghost scholar to come forward and take a look at the bugs.
The ghost scholar was a little surprised, but he still stepped forward obediently. Invisible wind energy filled the air all around, gently blowing on the corpses in the formation. After a moment, the ghost scholar frowned even more tightly.
"A cultivator of Taoism?" The ghost scholar hesitantly said.
"No, it's not just ordinary cultivation. The Tao here also has an ancient charm." The ghost scholar shook his head and couldn't help but emphasize what he said before. At this point, his tone became more puzzled, and he said: "Originally, when I sensed the aura of cultivation before, I was a little confused. I thought I was wrong. After the death of this insect, the inexplicable Tao charm became stronger. This kind of Tao charm is impossible to cultivate without a natural talent?"
"Or it could be an old Taoist priest with many years of experience!" In the ghost scholar's estimation, if they had to choose someone who was similar among the three of them, it would only be the Taoist priest.
It's not okay to play with people, this kid doesn't have the right character.
The Taoism school really depends on talent, and the character is even more demanding than talent. It is not impossible to practice Taoism if you are not a natural talent.
"But how can this insect have the aura of Tao? Could it be that he is also practicing Taoism?" The ghost scholar wondered, and the next moment, he overturned his guess: "Impossible."
That leaves only one possibility.
This insect is likely to eat people who practice Taoism?
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why it has such a strong aura of spiritual cultivation.
The ghost scholar remained silent, he had seen this kind of weird world many times. Generally, monks have good talents, firm minds, and pure auras, so many weird people would target monks.
Ye Lu laughed angrily and said, "No wonder I haven't seen a Taoist since I came to this world. When we saw Yangteng Fruit before, there was a man in Taoist robes next to him." But after Ye Lu came to the Forbidden Stone Mountains, he said he had seen many people, but not a single Taoist.
That's very strange.
Ye Lu was quite confident in his cultivation. Once he succeeded, the power would be quite powerful and he could also stabilize his mind. There was no way this world that admired the strong would let him go.
"So it also sensed that the two of us are related to Taoism, so it chose us as its blood food?" Ye Lu understood a lot in an instant. He turned his head to look at the ghost scholar and asked.
Don't consider the life-threatening person. This kid can eat a lot relying on his blood. People like him don't have high requirements on their character.
The ghost scholar nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
"..." The playful man also looked at it for a while.
Ye Lu recovered quickly, except that his expression was a little abnormal at first. After returning to normal quickly, he turned around and prepared to throw away the insect corpse.
"Hmm?" Ye Lu was just about to touch the insect corpse, but after feeling the faint breath from the corpse, he paused and uttered an "hmm" unconsciously.
"Ah Ghost, take a look, does this aura have any connection with the distant place?" Ye Lu turned and said to the ghost scholar behind him. Ye Lu is the son of Mount Tai, and his blood is very close to the earth. Naturally, he can see things that ordinary people cannot see.
Of course, in this area, the only person who can really see through everything is the ghost scholar.
Upon hearing this, the ghost scholar stepped forward and approached the insect's corpse. After a moment, he felt that the insect's breath seemed to be connected with somewhere in the distance. Although this connection was very faint and might be ignored if one was not paying attention, in the eyes of the ghost scholar, this connection was particularly conspicuous.
"Yes, it is not far from the mountains, and closer to the green pines." The ghost scholar sensed that location and spoke slowly.
“That place is huge.”
"Will there be a lot of these bugs in there?" Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and said.
The ghost scholar shook his head: "No, I don't feel any life energy. No matter how well this insect can hide its own energy, as long as it is still alive, it can't hide it for long. The energy of connection is also very faint. After a long time, I am afraid I won't be able to feel it."
After the ghost scholar finished speaking, there was still a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Speak now, is there anything we two brothers cannot talk about?"
"I always feel that this bug doesn't seem to be living there. It feels more like a prisoner." The ghost scholar slowly expressed his feelings.
Ye Lu nodded. He agreed with the ghost scholar's guess because he felt the same way.
Ye Lu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll use my divine power to investigate and see if this insect seems to have lost its memory. I'll see if I can find its memory." Otherwise, the places associated with this insect always made him feel uncomfortable.
Just do it.
Ye Lu mobilized his blood and operated his strange power. He placed one hand on a stone not far away. At this time, the advantage of the two-story building was reflected. He could touch the aura of the earth's veins without having to put his feet on the ground. With the protection of the earth's veins, Ye Lu's strange power was safe. At least he would not bring out any dirty things when he came back.
Ye Lu closed his eyes again, and this time used his strange power to explore the insect's memory.
The dark yellow strange power mixed with some divine aura continuously flowed into the insect corpse, and continuously brought messages from the corpse to its master.
Has it been a while? I don’t know how long.
Ye Lucai opened his eyes with a grim expression.
“How come this shitty world is even weirder than what I encountered in that God Burial World?!” This was the first sentence Ye Lu said after he opened his eyes.
When the ghost scholar and the playful man heard this, they all looked at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu took a few deep breaths until his emotions calmed down. He then looked at the ghost scholar and slowly explained: "Your guess just now is correct. Do you know why there are no Taoists in this world? Because all those who practice Taoism in this world have been eaten by these bugs."
"?"
Ye Lu continued to explain: "To be precise, it becomes the nourishment for their cultivation."
"This group of bugs calls themselves the Ten Thousand Races. They have various appearances, some are meat balls, some are bugs, and some are hearts. Most of them are similar in shape to human internal organs. They usually choose children with good talents, drill into their bodies, and stay in their Dantian to practice with them."
"At the beginning, the child may not be different, but just thinks that he has a good talent for cultivation. But as time goes by, his mind will slowly disappear, and finally he will become a puppet, and will be replaced by the myriad races in his dantian."
"These myriad races are divided into very detailed categories."
"Some call themselves the Sword Sect, some call themselves Buddhists, there is also the Sword Sect, the Joyous Alliance Sect, the Dan Pavilion, and the Wan Yao Valley. They also have young cultivators, elders, and ordinary disciples. The hierarchy is no different from what we know." Ye Lu sneered when he said this.
"The bug we killed is a member of the Wan Yao Valley. They call the humans they chose blood food, blood medicine, and so on."
"That place——" The ghost scholar quickly figured it out. Could it be that the place he sensed had some connection with the bug was...
"Yes, it is the ruins of Wanyao Valley."
"These myriad races once ran rampant for a period of time in the ancient times. However, during that period, the human race had many geniuses with different talents, and they suppressed these myriad races. The only regret is that the myriad races have extremely strong vitality and can survive anywhere, making it difficult for humans to kill them."
"Until this group of tribes provoked a powerful Taoist priest."
"Each faction was suppressed by the Taoist priest, and they slowly died over time. This insect was the last one of its kind, and it had been surviving by devouring other insects of its kind. It was only because of his good luck that it managed to escape from the seal."
"The only bad thing is that he has to target me when targeting anyone else." Ye Lu said coldly.
The ghost scholar felt relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, it seemed that the Taoist priest was not very angry.
...The ghost scholar quickly thought of another possibility.
This Wanzu tribe calls itself the Wanyao Valley. According to the rules of this world, could it be that there are still strange plants in the ruins?
Generally speaking, the vitality of strange plants is much stronger than that of strange beasts. Some strange plants can even turn into seeds after death or produce seeds before dying, waiting for the opportunity to continue taking root and sprouting.
After all, we are a powerful force, so we should leave something behind, right?
The ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu unconsciously.
The man who played the game realized this later and also thought of this.
"..." Ye Lu met the gazes of the two men and inexplicably understood what they were thinking.
Ye Lu coughed and said, "I think there should be."
"During the heyday of Wan Yao Valley, there were countless strange plants, most of which were top-grade medicinal plants with various rare effects." Ye Lu slowly expressed his guess: "It is precisely because they were suppressed that they have more good things with them."
After all, no matter how important the strange plant is, it is definitely not as important as life.
Their sect is about to die, so should they leave the strange plant to others?
"My only worry is how many strange plants will remain in the Wanyao Valley after so many years."
"Then let's go and take a look. Even if we only get one plant, we will make a profit!" The ghost scholar immediately made the decision. He didn't believe that the Ten Thousand Races were so arrogant that they would think they were doomed.
They must have left behind one or two special powerful and strange plants.
