Xianlu

Chapter 174
Hearing the old centipede's exclamation, Xu Dao asked calmly, "What's the big battle of transforming dragons and exchanging blood?"

The old centipede was possessed by the Yin God. It twisted the body of the golden centipede, trying to reach the mural for a closer look, but because Xu Dao was holding onto its body, it couldn't escape at all.

"This formation, this formation..." The old centipede paused for a few breaths when he heard Xu Dao's question, and then said: "This is a rumor among our Shezhao tribe."

"Fellow Daoist is not a member of my Shezhao, so I don't know this secret, and even other clansmen, if they don't live a long time and have wide knowledge, they don't know these secrets."

"Oh, then you must be one of the well-informed people who know these secrets." Xu Dao sneered a few times, strained his hands, and shouted impatiently: "Say it!"

"Hey! I'm going to die!" The old centipede cried out in pain immediately, "The shell is about to break!"

It didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately told the matter of "transforming the dragon and exchanging the blood formation" honestly.

It turns out that among the Shezhao tribe, there are roughly two rumors about the Dragon Palace and its mirages.

One is the "truth" that the old centipede and others thought before, but after many inquiries, Xu Dao barely guessed.

The Dragon Palace was established earlier than the Shezhao Mountain City. It is a monster relic discovered by the Shezhao tribe. Among them is a mirage that hides in the Dragon Palace formation and lingers on, shaking the foundation of Shezhao's spiritual veins from time to time.

Therefore, the Shezhao tribe selects Taoists to enter the Dragon Palace every year, intending to cut off the flesh and blood of the dragon and kill the corpse.

The second is that the Dragon Palace is actually a large formation arranged by the ancestors of Shezhao. This formation can refine mirages into the spiritual veins of Sheshan, improve the level of the spiritual veins, and increase the strength of the Shezhao tribe.

As a result, the newborns born in the Shezhao tribe will continue to improve their roots and aptitude because they will be nourished by the essence of the mirage dragon corpse.

When the entire mirage is refined into the dragon veins, the Sheshan dragon veins can even give birth to spirituality, shelter the Shezhao tribe, and bring greater benefits to the Shezhao people.

According to what Xu Dao saw in the mural just now, the first rumor that has been widely circulated among the two is undoubtedly full of mistakes.

As for the second rumor, although Shezhao himself is almost unheard of, it is more in line with the story written on the mural.

After Xu Dao listened to the old centipede's introduction, he asked aloud: "No matter who the rumors are true or not, neither of them mentioned the origin of the jiao's corpse. Why do you know that this jiao was beheaded by the holy Tang Taoist?"

The old centipede replied:
"Hey! My old centipede is naturally different from other people. Besides, except for the newborn babies in the mountain who are more and more convinced of the first statement, people who have lived for a few years probably know that Dragon Palace is not simple."

It also casually said: "Fellow Daoists, the reason why I dare to say this is because we know that none of the current six bloodlines in the clan are direct bloodlines."

"The descendants are my relatives. They used to be the biggest chieftains in the mountains, but they were few in number. I don't know how many years ago, the last bloodlines all died."

The old centipede babbled, not knowing that Xu Dao was surprised when he heard what he said, and secretly touched the breath-holding jade hook in his hand.

"Combined with the fact that the jade hook can open the iron gate, and the words spoken by the old centipede, it seems that the last words of the young Patriarch Shezhao in Baimaofeng Cave are not false, and they are indeed Shezhao's direct lineage."

Xu Dao thought about it, and then thought to himself: "According to the last words in the coffin, the Bone Temple once attacked the Shezhao tribe... Now the relationship between the two is not shallow, it should be like the old centipede said, the young patriarch's lineage is already dead Light, even the name is almost forgotten."

After the question and answer, although Xu Dao was still wary of what the old centipede said, he also learned a lot about the history of the Shezhao tribe.

But there is still the most crucial question, that is what are the elders of Shezhao, the six foundation-establishing Taoist priests planning, to feed nearly half of the clan's population to the mirage.

When Xu Dao asked this question, the old centipede obviously held a grudge against him for almost dying just now.

It looked around, and said sneeringly: "If the "Dragon Transformation and Blood Exchange Formation" is really arranged here, then after the formation is arranged, it is reasonable to isolate the inside and outside, preventing others from entering it, and breaking the atmosphere of the earth. .”

"A well-endowed corpse of a dragon will also be buried in the spirit veins slowly. It will truly transform the spirit veins into dragon veins, subtly improve the aptitude of the children, and have a few traces of dragon blood..."

"Now the mirage dragon is dead and 'alive' again, with a heavy corpse aura. I wasn't sure about it before, but now it's clearer. I think most of the Taoist priests want to completely refine the dragon corpse into a 'corpse dragon'."

"At that time, they will replace the monster body and control the corpse dragon, and they will be the masters of the Jindan realm!"

After saying a few words, Xu Dao couldn't help believing what the old centipede said based on what he saw.

He thought to himself: "According to what this guy said, the formation of transforming dragons and exchanging blood is to extract the evil spirit generated by the mirage's corpse to prevent the mirage's corpse from changing, and at the same time bury the essence of its spirit and flesh into the dragon's veins. The yin and yang are divided into two. useful."

"But right now the formation of the Dragon Palace is damaged, the corpse of the mirage has been mutated, and there are still people being fed into the Dragon Palace, which makes the concentration of evil spirits in this place increase sharply. land!"

Xu Dao sorted it out, and suddenly understood: "Once the evil spirit accumulated for thousands of years on the iron tower erupts, not only the formation of the Dragon Palace will collapse, it will no longer be able to prevent the Taoist priests from entering the Dragon Palace in person, and the mirage will be nourished by the huge evil spirit. There will also be a great possibility to turn into a real corpse dragon and return to the ranks of golden core monsters!"

In such a process, the Taoist priests of Shezhao could have carried it out slowly, but now it has been going on for two to three hundred years, and most of the mirages have become dead, and because of the situation at the Temple of White Bones, the Taoist priests are running out of time.

Therefore, the six Shezhao Taoist priests simply put all the casual cultivators and Taoists in the ghost market, as well as half of the population on Sheshan, into the Dragon Palace.

One is to feed the mirage dragon to help it recover its strength, and the other is to use resentment to generate evil energy, which will overburden the Dragon Palace formation and completely collapse it.

After sorting this out, Xu Dao suddenly felt emotional.

According to the iron tower murals, the reason why the ancestors of Shezhao did not eat the corpses of the mirage dragons, but chose to arrange formations to slowly refine the corpses over thousands of years.

Its purpose is to make merit for thousands of years, so as to increase the heritage of the entire ethnic group.

But the Taoist priests of Shezhao now, for their own selfishness, not only ruined the painstaking efforts of the ancestors through the ages, but also used their own family members as blood food, sacrificed every year, and buried half of the family members, just to let themselves fight The possibility of forming a pill.

But there is one more thing worth noting:

"By raising a corpse dragon, can I be promoted to the golden core realm and become a great demon? This is just a zombie, a foreign object, and it is not cultivated by myself..."
