Chapter 230

The woman's lips parted slightly, as if she was a little surprised by Jing Yingrong's straightforward rejection.

But it was just surprise, and she didn't feel disappointed or angry because of it.

The woman's voice remained the same, soft as ever: "If I need a reward, I will try my best to satisfy it."

"No need," Jing Yingrong said calmly, "I don't know you, and I'm not the owner of this place."

The woman understood the meaning of her words, nodded lightly, and said: "Well, I'm bothering fellow Taoist."

Jing Yingrong looked at the ball of light protecting the woman, and said, "Are you from Tianchanque?"

The woman was slightly taken aback, and lightly touched the inner wall of the light sphere with her fingers, and said, "Is it because of this sacred soul protection formula? Fellow Taoists really have a lot of knowledge."

Jing Yingrong: "Tianchan Que has a secret method, which can pass through distance barriers and connect to the 'Longevity Pond' in the mountain gate, so that serious injuries can be quickly healed, the physical body's resilience can be improved in a short period of time, and most of the strange poisons in the world can be eliminated. With your cultivation base, it is enough to display it."

"Floating Longevity Technique? That's true. But..." The woman smiled faintly, "It's not necessary."

She pursed her lower lip, and continued: "Fellow Daoist knows Tianchan Que very well, and he can talk to me without being afraid of the mighty power of ghost vines. Presumably, he should be a senior whose cultivation and experience far surpass mine. So, can I ask Senior a question?"

Jing Yingrong: "You ask."

Woman: "It is said that the Dead Sea hides the secret of bringing the dead back to life. Is it true?"

Jing Yingrong said without hesitation: "Fake."

"Purely a rumour?"

"Ah."

The woman stopped talking.

After a few breaths, she said: "Thank you, senior."

In the voice as light as a feather, there is a hint of exhaustion.

Jing Yingrong said "You're welcome", and then left.

The abnormal place detected by the divine sense was not far away, and when Jing Yingrong stopped, she could still vaguely see the faint blue light when she turned her head.

She looked down at the tangled vines below.

The appearance of the vines here is the same as that of other places, even the breath is the same, the only difference is that the vines here are still.

Jing Yingrong landed lightly, stepping on a vine with her toes.The vines under this vine suddenly parted, revealing a part of the lower vine.

A small hole was opened on the vine, the hole was square, and the hole was a little uneven, not too deep.

Jing Yingrong took out the blood-red square bar, compared it, and chose one end to insert it into the small hole.

The square bar was completely submerged and fit perfectly, and the surface of the vine suddenly flashed bloody light.

The vines in this area suddenly moved, and quickly parted to both sides, revealing a deep and bottomless cave hundreds of meters below.

There is a layer of scarlet light film at the entrance of the cave, which blocks the sea water.After Jing Yingrong passed through the light film, the vines moved again, covering the cave again, and at the same time, the blood-red square bar returned to her hand.

Inside the cave is a vertical passageway, like a well.In a blink of an eye, Jing Yingrong has arrived at the other end of the corridor.

The exit was sealed, and there were incomparably complex formations engraved on it, which served as a defense while also preventing the penetration of spiritual consciousness.

But to Jing Yingrong, it was like a fake.

Coming out of the passageway, what came into view was a room similar to a bedroom.

There are no windows in the room, and all furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and cabinets are readily available. The spar in the lamp emits a soft halo, and there are several pots of precious spiritual plants by the wall.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary monk's bedroom, full of life in the plain.

—If you ignore the two people sitting opposite each other at the table.

The two were a man and a woman.Their clothes were neat and tidy, their heads were drooping, and their faces were in a half-rotten state, but there was no peculiar smell at all. It seemed that they had been treated by some means during the decaying process, thus stopping the corruption and being able to maintain this state for a long time.

These two corpses made the room, which was originally considered cozy, become extraordinarily weird.

Ji Yanzhu couldn't help but said: "Is this the room of the puppet ancestor? It feels so strange."

Jijie Pen asked: "Mirror, is there any mystery here?"

Jing Yingrong looked at the two corpses and said, "No."

Jisha Sword: "Go out and have a look."

Jing Yingrong responded and opened the only door in the room.

There is another long corridor outside the door. Follow the corridor to the end and come to a place that looks like a main hall.

Coming out of the main hall is a narrow and long space, with many corridors extending from the left and right sides of the space, and each corridor leads to different places.

No matter those places or corridors, without exception, they are very low and narrow, and the layout is tight, as if the space is limited.

Jijie Pen: "This should be the retreat route of the Puppet God Cult in the Dead Sea."

"Well," Jing Yingrong stood in the middle of the long and narrow space, staring at a metal gate directly in front, "There is a road behind the gate, leading to the Rotten Bones Swamp."

Jijie Pen sighed: "To be able to build such a lair in the Dead Sea, the puppet ancestor is considered a talent."

But Jishajian sneered: "It's just trying to survive."

Ji Yanzhu's focus is on the other hand: "Are there any good things here?"

Jing Yingrong: "No. There is something strange."

After the voice fell, she appeared in a room at the end of a corridor.

The room is filled with dozens of large transparent round jars containing liquids of different colors and textures.

And in those liquids, there are young children curled up one by one.

Jisha Sword: "Human puppet research room? Are there any alive?"

Jing Yingrong: "Yes." She pointed to two of the round jars, and added: "I'm dying too."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the desk next to the wall and flipped through the paper pages and jade slips piled up on it.

After looking at it for a while, Jing Yingrong raised his head suddenly, his eyes fell on an empty place, and he asked, "Did you intentionally let him study?"

The transparent ripples swayed, and the skull, the Lord of the Sea of ​​Death, emerged.

It rustled: "Of course."

Jing Yingrong: "In order to enhance your strength?"

"Otherwise what else could it be for?"

As soon as the skull finished speaking, the extremely evil sword moved.It froze for a moment, and when it spoke again, its attitude softened a lot:
"He was inspired by my power to create something like a human puppet. The human puppet and my 'corpse puppet' have their own advantages and disadvantages. I thought that in time, he might be able to develop a more perfect work, and then I would also I can benefit from his skills and improve the method of refining corpse puppets. That's why I turned a blind eye to his actions in the Dead Sea."

Jing Yingrong: "Does he know your acquiescence?"

Skull: "I don't know. Is he dead?"

Jing Yingrong: "Yes."

The skull was silent for a moment, and sighed sincerely: "It's a pity."
