I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 221 The Scarecrow

Inside the Lingshi Mine.

Chen Lin stood deep in the mine, looking solemnly at the huge collapsed area in front of him.

Four huge stone pillars stand in four directions, and a huge chain extends from the top of each stone pillar, hanging a sarcophagus in the middle!

No matter the stone pillar or the sarcophagus, there are strange patterns engraved one after another, and I don't know what it means.

"Are there any other abnormalities?"

Hearing Chen Lin's question, Feng Kuocheng immediately replied: "Not yet, after the miners dug here, the ground suddenly collapsed, exposing such an underground space, but a few miners in the early stage of Qi training fell. Go down, but it’s nothing, they all climbed up the pillars.”

Chen Lin nodded and said, "That's good. Now organize people to seal off the place, and I'll send He Zhenren a message to let him come and deal with it."

He didn't want to deal with such a weird situation by himself, no matter whether there were treasures or evil things in the sarcophagus, he didn't want to be contaminated.

"Elder Chen, do you want to open the sarcophagus and have a look?"

Feng Kuocheng had some ideas, but was immediately denied by Chen Lin: "It's better not to think wildly, this coffin is sealed here at first glance, the chance of treasures inside is extremely small, and there is such a big battle, the sealed things inside It must be extraordinary, once you are still alive, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to handle it with our strength."

"Well, I'll organize people to seal this place right away, and wait for He Zhenren to come over."

Feng Kuocheng felt that what Chen Lin said was also reasonable. He was stuck in the late stage of foundation establishment for too long, and he was a little anxious.

After leaving the mine, Chen Lin immediately took out the communication talisman, explained the situation here and activated it.

What he didn't expect was that the other party replied immediately, but said that he was busy with business recently and let him handle it by himself, and didn't even say to send someone to help.

"Elder Chen, what should we do?"

Feng Kuocheng next to him showed a strange expression and asked aloud.

Chen Lin didn't hide the voice of the summoning talisman just now, he heard it too, and felt a little impatient from He Zhenren's tone.

Chen Lin smiled and said: "He Zhenren is in charge of the overall situation, how can there be so much time, in that case, the mine should be sealed first! When I go back tomorrow, I will ask a formation master to come to the formation hall to help Add a seal to the mine, since the sarcophagus has been here for so many years, it is impossible for something to go wrong in the past few days, and we will study how to deal with it slowly."

"It has to be like this." Feng Kuocheng nodded.

He heard that this Elder Chen didn't seem to be very popular with Daoist He. He even lost his position as a deacon elder in the Hall of Pills and was sent here. It is estimated that it would be impossible to invite Daoist Jindan to come here.

However, Feng Kuocheng would not underestimate Chen Lin because of this. After all, Chen Lin is still the registered disciple of Fairy Baiyin, and he is proficient in alchemy, especially Qixing Dan. He may ask Chen Lin for it in the future.

Yuanying Zhenjun's registered disciple has nothing to do with him, but a master of alchemy has no need to offend him anyway.

Thinking of this, he said again: "If Elder Chen wants to deal with it, I can also invite some foundation-builder monks to come over and leave it alone. If something goes wrong, it may affect Elder Chen."

Chen Lin glanced at the other party, this is a resale, it seems that he has not yet reached the point where thousands of people beat him up.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, if it is dealt with, I will discuss it with you in advance."

What the other party said is right, this thing really can’t be ignored, he is in charge of supervising the construction of this city, if there are any monsters in the coffin, it is also a hidden danger, once something goes wrong, He Zhenren will definitely make use of it, even Fairy Baiyin will be unhappy.

It's nothing else, if the identity of the registered disciple is lost, there will be no face to stay in Baiyin Fairy City, and you have to continue wandering.

It's not that he is attached to power, but that there are too few places in this world where he can practice stably, and he is reluctant to part with this hard-won life.

All night, Chen Lin was thinking about how to deal with it perfectly, but he couldn't think of any good way.

If it didn't work, he would mobilize manpower to dig out the stone pillar, and then send the stone pillar and the sarcophagus far away, so that nothing could be seen.

Anyway, he would not be curious anyway, so he went to open the sarcophagus to see it.

He had just made a decision, but he didn't expect to receive a news that surprised him the next day.

"What did you say!"

Chen Lin looked at the qi training monk who came to report, his face was full of astonishment, and he felt that he had an auditory hallucination.

"Report to Elder Chen, the monks who fell into the mine pit yesterday and turned into scarecrows!"

The qi cultivator looked terrified and his voice trembled.

"Scarecrow?" Chen Lin looked at the other party firmly, "Did you read it right?"

Even if those people went crazy, or turned into monsters, Chen Lin wouldn't think it strange. After all, this world is full of monsters and ghosts, but turning into scarecrows is really beyond his imagination.

The Qi training cultivator said eagerly: "You read that right, Senior Feng and the others are checking the situation there, let me come over and let you know."

"Go, go and see!"

Chen Lin still didn't quite believe it, thinking that it must be some kind of cover-up, or there might be other inside information involved.

All the houses in the city are empty now, so even the monks in the early stage of Qi training live in a courtyard alone. At this moment, a group of monks are surrounded in front of one of the courtyards, and Feng Kuocheng is among them.

"Brother Feng, what's the matter?"

Chen Lin approached and asked Feng Kuocheng first.

"You're here, Elder Chen. Let's take a look. I'm afraid we've provoked something we shouldn't have provoked!"

Feng Kuocheng pointed to the room in the courtyard, his tone full of shock.

Chen Lin frowned, clasped a magic-suppressing talisman and the talisman treasure given to him by He Zhenren, and walked in.

Sure enough, there was a scarecrow lying on the bed in the room. It was the same size as a normal person, with a lifelike face, just like a real person, and exuded a very strange aura.

"Whoever discovered it first, what about the others, are they all the same?"

Chen Lin did not go forward to check rashly, but asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Elder Chen, I discovered it first. Lu Qiang didn't go to work this morning, so the captain asked me to come over to take a look, and I saw this scarecrow on the bed. At first I thought it was a prank, so I ignored it until It was only when I found that the few companions who fell into the mine yesterday that they didn’t go to work, I realized something was wrong, and reported it to the captain, and after checking, I found that there was a scarecrow with the same appearance as them on the bed of the other people.”

The person who spoke was a short young man, who was also in the early stage of Qi training, and his voice was trembling at this moment.

"No one else touched him, right?" Chen Lin pointed to the scarecrow on the bed.

"No, no one dared to touch it. Now that everyone is panicking, Elder Chen thinks what should be done. Or should I report to Zhenren He again?"

Feng Kuocheng glanced at Chen Lin and made a suggestion.

Chen Lin shook his head, "Don't panic, this matter is too bizarre, let's talk about it after we figure it out, and go and see the others first."

Now that Chen Lin said so, Feng Kuocheng didn't object any more. After letting people look at the yard, he took Chen Lin to look at the residences of the other three qi practitioners. Sure enough, there was a scarecrow on each of the beds.

"Is there anything unusual in the mine?"

After reading the last one, Chen Lin was not sure whether it was true or not, and asked Feng Kuocheng in a deep voice.

"The entrance to the cave over there has been sealed, and there is no abnormality visible from the outside. It's hard to say what's going on inside. Do you want to take a look?"

Chen Lin shook his head, "No need, let me see if there is anything special about this scarecrow, everyone get out."

Everyone retreated outside the yard. Chen Lin patted the storage bag, took out the monkey puppet, and controlled it into the room.

After a while, he frowned and watched the monkey puppet come out with a handful of straw in one hand.

Feng Kuocheng and other Foundation Establishment cultivators also looked at a loss. Just now, they checked the situation in the room with their spiritual sense. After the monkey puppet entered, they gradually dismantled the scarecrow, but nothing abnormal happened during the whole process. The scarecrow is really just a scarecrow. That's all.

After deliberating for a while, Chen Lin began to give orders.

"Have someone search a radius of a hundred miles. Whoever has a tracking spirit beast on their body, try to see if they can be tracked through the aura on these people's items. I want to see if there is really a ghost, or someone is pretending to be a ghost. ghost!"

He still doesn't believe that a good living person can become a scarecrow.

Not to mention the Golden Core cultivator, even the Nascent Soul cultivator probably does not have such an ability, and he has never seen such an outrageous ability in any classics, unless it is really a god who came to the world.

He even suspected that the four qi cultivators ran away because of something, so they made such a show in order to draw their attention elsewhere.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Send someone to take a look at the sarcophagus in the mine, be careful not to approach it, just take a look from a distance."

According to Chen Lin's instructions, Feng Kuocheng immediately went to arrange manpower, while Chen Lin put away the monkey puppet and waited quietly.

The information will come back soon, there is no abnormality in the mine, but the four monks at the early stage of qi training have not been seen. I don't know if they ran away or something happened.

A female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training named Xiao Linghui really raised a spirit beast with tracking ability, but she also failed to track it.

After the spirit beast sensed the residual breath on the personal belongings of the four qi training monks, it simply circled around the city, where the people here worked before.

After a lot of tossing, Chen Lin saw that there was no effect, so he asked everyone to disperse first, and comforted him not to panic, he would find out the matter immediately.

night.

Chen Lin hadn't rested for several days. Although it was considered a rest for monks to meditate, he still felt a little sleepy, so he lay down on the bed and took a nap.

After he fell into a deep sleep, an aura that was exactly the same as that of the scarecrow emanated from his body.
