Wild boar

Chapter 257 Returning to the Homeland
All things in the world, yin and yang are born together.

There are spiritual veins and hidden Yin veins above the ground. Under the ground there is strong Nether Yin Qi, and there is also lava and earth fire that burns everything.

Purple Cloud Mountain.

Pushui Cave.

It is a Yin vein accompanying the spiritual veins of Ziyun Mountain.

Although the Yin veins are small, they are extremely pure.

Zhu Zishan found a downward entrance in the cliff cave on the mountain wall and got into it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Swarms of frightened bats flew out of the cave, forming a large black area.

Pushuidong, which was once a loose cultivator sect, has long since disappeared, and the secret room in the door has turned into a bat nest.

Zhuzi Mountain went down the stairs, and the Yin Qi underground became more and more intense.

Soon Zhu Zishan arrived in front of the Ice Chamber.

The entrance to the ice chamber used to be small and hidden, but after it was destroyed by the mantid, it is now covered with rubble.

The rough entrance to the cave was exposed, and a thick ice barrier froze the damaged entrance.

Zhu Zishan touched the ice barrier at the entrance with his hand.

This doesn't look like it's natural!
Divine consciousness penetrates into it...

Zhu Zishan's expression suddenly changed, he raised his fist and punched hard.

Boom.

The thick ice barrier didn't move at all.

Beidou Seven Strikes!

Boom, boom...

There were thunderous explosions, seven in a row.

The thick ice barrier was completely smashed, Zhu Zishan entered the ice chamber and picked up an unconscious woman with purple lips.

……

Purple Cloud Mountain.

The sound of the mountain breeze and the swaying forest awakened the comatose Cheng Qianying.

Cheng Qianying opened her eyes leisurely and found herself lying in the arms of a strong man.

"Ahem...Elder Zhu, why are you here?" Cheng Qianying, who looked pale, asked in a weak tone.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, I also want to ask you why you are here?" Zhu Zishan looked at Cheng Qianying and asked with concern.

"I!?"

Cheng Qianying's expression was a little dazed, and she said slowly in a recalling tone: "I practiced Leng Yu Gong to the Yuansha realm, and encountered a bottleneck in the purification realm. After I consulted the master, she told me not to be limited to purification, and to practice more ice. Regarding Taoism, switching from sword cultivation to martial arts cultivation may reopen the path..."

"I followed my master's advice and started practicing ice blade technique and ice barrier..."

"Due to the foundation of Leng Yu Gong, I practiced these two techniques very smoothly, but the power is not satisfactory. In terms of killing power, the Ice Blade Technique is far inferior to the Sword Technique, and the defense of the Ice Barrier is also inferior. Directly driving the defensive magic weapon, in order to increase the power of these two Taoist arts, I followed Junior Brother Wei's suggestion to find a special environment suitable for practicing ice Taoist techniques..."

"I happened to know that it was extremely cold all year round in the Ice Chamber, so I entered this place alone and practiced these two Taoist techniques. I did make rapid progress at first. However, the cold suddenly hit my heart two days ago, and I couldn't raise my magic power at all. I actually trapped myself. In the ice chamber, I almost starved to death." Cheng Qianying said with a self-deprecating look.

"Drink some wine to warm yourself up first." Zhu Zishan took out a water bag from his storage bag and handed it to Cheng Qianying's mouth.

Cheng Qianying opened her mouth and took a sip, and the strong liquor went down her throat.

"Cough cough cough..." Cheng Qianying coughed again, but her pale face became a little more rosy. "Elder Zhu, what kind of wine is this? I feel much better!" Cheng Qianying said with a look of surprise.

"This is desert pepper pulp. I don't know the specific ingredients, but it can definitely nourish the source of life and drive away the cold."

"This wine must be very precious, right?" Cheng Qianying showed a hint of guilt.

"Why do you care about that? I'll give this wine to you." Zhu Zishan took out a jar of desert pepper pulp from his storage bag and handed it directly to Cheng Qianying.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, although the environment of the ice chamber is cold, it was born from the underground Yin veins. In addition, there have been killings and blood evils here. Most of the evil and resentment accumulated in the ice chamber. You are here." It was unintentionally absorbed when practicing Taoism and accumulated in your body, which makes you unable to draw any magic power."

"But you don't need to worry. This evil and resentment is not serious, and it has not penetrated into your bones. Don't go to the ice secret room for the time being. Just drink the entire jar of desert pepper pulp outside here. If you drink If you still can’t completely remove the toxins after this, you don’t have to worry, I have another method that can help you completely detoxify!”

"Thank you, Elder Zhu." Cheng Qianying said with gratitude.

Zhu Zishan took out Tieshan Turtle Cave House from his storage bag and threw it into the dense forest.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, you haven't recovered yet, so you can stay in seclusion in the temporary cave for a while, but after you recover slightly from your injuries, you can return to White Castle." Zhu Zishan helped Cheng Qianying enter the Iron Mountain Return Cave.

Cheng Qianying nodded gratefully, and before entering the cave, she asked curiously: "Elder Zhu, you haven't said why you are here yet?"

"To be honest, I came here in search of Yin veins and wanted to retreat to refine a treasure, and I happened to meet you." Zhu Zishan explained.

"Thank you so much, Elder Zhu, otherwise Qianying would have died." Cheng Qianying said gratefully.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, you and I belong to the same sect, so there is no need to thank each other... I will retreat in this Yin Channel for a few days. I will return to White Castle after the retreat is completed." Zhu Zishan said.

After Cheng Qianying entered the Tieshan Turtle Cave Mansion, Zhu Zishan used the surrounding weeds and trees to cover up the small turtle shell, which was like a tent.

Iron Mountain returns to the cave.

Cheng Qianying took another sip of the desert pepper pulp and slowly dissolved it, making her chest feel a little warmer again.

"Huh..." Cheng Qianying breathed a long sigh of relief, she finally saved her life.

……

The Ice Chamber.

After more than three years, Zhu Zishan returned here again.

three years ago.

Carrying a coffin on his back, Zhu Zishan broke into this place and was seriously injured by the restrictions of the secret room.

After recovering from his injuries, Zhu Zishan unexpectedly confirmed that this was Pushui Cave.

The master of Pushui Cave, Fu Kunchengdu, had died outside, so Zhu Zishan was naturally relieved to stay in the ice chamber.

He had enough time to dig a hole in the ground, bury the coffin containing the corpse girl in it, and then picked the mysterious fruit and prepared to leave, but he did not expect an unexpected surprise.

Since then, the ugly wild boar man has become a secret shared by Zhang Wanru and Cheng Qianying.

The two turned enemies into friends because of the same secret, and instead became sisters whose love is stronger than gold.

The past is like smoke, but when you look back at it, it feels really different.

As the initiator of everything, Zhu Zishan naturally has a sense of accomplishment in doing good things.

Zhu Zishan lifted up the floor of the ice chamber and dug out the soft soil.

A black wooden coffin that had been buried for three years was lifted out of the hole by Zhu Zishan's hands.

Bang!
The hemp ropes that bound the coffin had long since rotted. When Zhu Zishan let go of his hand, the rotten coffin was immediately opened, and a gray female corpse stood out.

The female corpse did not attack Zhu Zishan. Her gray eyes looked at Zhu Zishan with a look of bewilderment.
