Knife splashing

Chapter 442: Poisonous Miasma Valley
"Why did this kid die?"

Sharifei sucked his teeth, feeling a little confused.

"I'm afraid I trusted the wrong person..."

Li Yan looked down at the corpse, thoughtfully.

There was still a trace of soul on the corpse. At this moment, he could vaguely hear some voices in his ears: "Master, why..."

Taoist Chongxuzi also frowned, looking at the wound on the chest of the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Tiangang Finger Qi Jue is a basic skill, it is also a secret technique for practicing Sword Immortal."

"In Qingniu Temple, only Ku Mu has practiced this method to the deepest level!"

"let's go!"

Li Yan stood up and looked forward, with murderous intent in his eyes, "San'er, release the falcon, the people from the Salt Gang may be here too!"

"Ah."

Lu San agreed in a low voice, stretched out his hand and raised it. The falcon Lidong, which had already recovered from its wounds, suddenly soared into the sky.

Not only that, the little white fox on the seventh day of the seventh month also jumped into the dense forest.

This little fox has extraordinary bloodline. As it travels along the way, its spirituality becomes more and more apparent, and it is now able to cooperate with Lu San in the investigation.

Moreover, Lu San asked someone to make a small vest for him, and put the fat rat Rat Er in the pocket of the vest.

The cooperation of the three little ones is a natural advantage in the forest.

Soon, the falcon responded, flying up and down and chirping.

Lu San took a look and said, "Over this mountain, there is a deep valley covered by miasma and fog, and there are corpses outside."

Li Yan looked at Chongxuzi, "Senior, where is that place?"

The old Taoist seemed to be thinking about something. He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "More than a decade ago, there was an earthquake in Shu, which created a crack over there. Mountain torrents often erupted, and some skeletons were washed out. But they were all wild beasts from ancient times, and they have been petrified."

"At first, some people went to explore, but they found nothing and often encountered wild animals. Gradually, no one was interested anymore."

"As I recall, there was never any miasma in that place..."

"It looks like they've already started, let's hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sped up.

They either possessed special skills or were proficient in fighting and although the mountain road was difficult to travel, it was not an obstacle at all.

In less than half an hour, they had reached the top of the mountain.

But after taking just two steps, Li Yan's expression turned strange.

The old Taoist Chongxuzi next to him was even more furious. He drew out his sword with a clang and quickened his pace.

I saw several Taoists kneeling on the dense forest road ahead.

The person leading the group was Yuan Qing.

"It's really you!"

Taoist Chongxuzi said angrily: "What on earth are you and Kumu doing? Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of Qingniu Temple?"

When Yuan Qing heard what Taoist Chongxu said, he sighed, raised his head and bowed respectfully, saying, "Uncle Master, there is another hidden story behind this matter. No matter what happens, we are willing to take full responsibility. Please turn around and go back."

"Follow it all?"

Taoist Chongxu was amused, "How can you be so qualified?"

Yuan Qing gritted his teeth and said hesitantly, "Uncle Master, there are outsiders here, so it's hard to talk about this. Could you please move away?"

"Master, be careful, there may be fraud!"

Ling Fengzi next to him quickly reminded in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of!"

Taoist Chongxuzi glared at him, strode forward with sword in hand, and followed Yuanqing into the woods nearby.

Seeing this, Sharifei looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan remained calm and made a gesture.

Everyone immediately became alert.

Sharifei even narrowed his eyes and held down the gun.

This is a secret signal that someone is ready to turn hostile at any time.

Although they didn't know the reason, they believed Li Yan.

On the other side, after entering the dense forest, Yuan Qing also took out the magic weapon and activated it, and set up a simple formation to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

Li Yan took a look and ignored it.

When he received the assignment, he already knew the reason.

The mastermind behind all this is not Wu Faluo's master Ku Mu.

But it’s the master of Qingniu Temple!
Ku Mu and Yuan Qing are nothing but his puppets.

The reason why he didn't explain it in the Taoist temple was because he was afraid that Chongxuzi would protect him.

You are on someone else's land, and they are still worshipping secular gods. It will be difficult to escape if you want to.

However, after leaving the Taoist temple and coming to the wilderness, they had the advantage in numbers and were not afraid of falling out with the other side.

Sure enough, after a while, Taoist Chongxuzi walked out with a gloomy face, followed by the silent Yuanqing.

"Master..."

Ling Fengzi opened his mouth to say half a sentence but couldn't continue.

He already had a frightening guess in his mind.

"Longevity..."

Taoist Chongxuzi sighed and said to the sky, his face suddenly became even older, "I am not willing to accept this either."

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and slapped Yuan Qing on the chest.

puff!
Yuan Qing spurted blood and rolled more than ten meters away.

"Muddy stuff!"

Taoist Chongxuzi's face flushed red as he roared, "Brother, he has already been possessed by the devil. If he had told me earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"

Li Yan was quite surprised when he saw it.

It seems that this old Taoist has already made a choice.

In the past, he had a conflict with Huo Yinchai because of his master's affairs. Unexpectedly, he was faced with a choice again, but he no longer concealed it.

Could it be that this old Taoist priest is not getting along with his senior brother?

Just as Li Yan was secretly complaining, Taoist Chongxuzi turned around and scolded those disciples, "Senior Brother has always been against this matter. They are all helping fools. They don't even know that they have been blinded by the demons!"

When the Taoists heard this, they all looked at each other in surprise.

"Do not…"

Yuan Qing on the ground struggled to get up, as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could finish his words, Taoist Chongxuzi picked up a piece of bark and flicked it with his fingers.

call out!
The bark flew out and hit Yuan Qing under the jaw.

The Taoist fainted without even a sound.

"Everyone follow me!"

Taoist Chongxuzi had a gloomy face and walked ahead.

Li Yan understood and signaled everyone to follow...

…………

After they climbed over the mountain, they suddenly saw a path in a dense forest.

This is the passage that the nearby mountain people and old Tujia hunters often use to travel in the mountains. It can be found in the forest basically wherever there are people living.

Swish!
The little white fox suddenly jumped out, squeaking.

Lu San said in a muffled voice: "There is something wrong with this forest."

Without his reminder, everyone had already noticed something strange.

The forest was dead silent, without any sound of birds, animals or insects.

Long Yaner picked up a leaf nearby, looked at it, and sniffed it. "This place is often invaded by miasma, and all the plants and trees are poisonous."

A Taoist priest whispered before: "We have already warned the nearby mountain people. Few people come here, and no innocent people are harmed."

"fart!"

Lu San glanced at them coldly, and led everyone around to the dense forest nearby, waving his hand to push away the dead leaves.

There were two corpses below.

Holding hunting knives in their hands, they stabbed each other.

It looks like they are killing each other.

But the human skin on the two men had disappeared, leaving only black and rotten flesh and blood.

The faces of the Taoist priests turned pale immediately. "Let's go!"

Taoist Chongxuzi's face was as gloomy as water and he didn't want to say anything more.

Finally, after going down the mountain from the side, they came to a deep valley, but saw thick fog and rising miasma, surging up and down like a living thing.

Outside the valley, there were several bodies lying.

They staggered here and there, all heading towards the outside of the mountain. It seemed they were trying to escape, but they failed.

Moreover, there is no human skin!
"It seems that the people from the Salt Gang didn't fare any better."

Sharifei sneered upon seeing this.

As he said this, he kicked the corpse into the fog.

Chi Chi!

When the flesh and blood came into contact with the poisonous miasma, they immediately turned black, and some places were even corroded and pus oozed out.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

When Sharifei saw this, his scalp went numb. "Damn it, is this miasma so strong?"

Li Yan turned his head and looked at Bai Huan, "Senior, is there any solution?"

When they arrived in the southwest, there were more sorcerers using poison. Lu San's magic gourd was seriously damaged and it has not recovered yet.

Bai Huan is the lay leader of the Siming Society. Although he is not proficient in martial arts and is old, he knows all the arts of witchcraft, and his Taoism and experience are there. The reason why we asked him to follow us up the mountain is because we are afraid of encountering this kind of thing.

Unexpectedly, Bai Huan shook his head and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a strong poison. Long Yan'er is a member of the Gu Cult. Maybe she has a way."

Li Yan glanced and said nothing.

He could see that Bai Huan had already noticed something fishy and said this deliberately to let Long Yaner show off her skills.

Logically speaking, this old woman is a decent person and would not repay kindness with enmity or deliberately cheat them.

It seems that we will have to talk about this matter again in the future.

Long Yan'er didn't pretend to be shy. She immediately came to the poisonous miasma, took out a small jar from her waist, pinched her fingers, chanted a spell, and gently drew it.

Call ~
Then a colorful butterfly flew out of the small jar and flapped its wings, and immediately a miasma was sucked into the jar.

There were many wriggling white bugs in the jar.

Infected by the miasma, he immediately began to twist wildly.

After a while, most of them died.

But in the end, some survived.

These little bugs have changed color, becoming colorful and looking weird and creepy.

Long Yaner picked them out one by one, took off the sachet from her waist, took out a handful of black pills, whistled, and the bugs crawled in one by one.

She then picked up the pill and said calmly, "This poisonous miasma is mixed with the resentment of ghosts. It will be difficult to break it in a short time, but if you take this pill, you can hold on for an hour."

"After an hour, vomit out all the poisonous water in your stomach."

"Is this… is this fucking edible?"

Sharifei's scalp tingled and he couldn't help but yell.

Even Li Yan frowned as he watched.

Unexpectedly, Chongxuzi, who was standing by, strode over, picked up a pill, put it into his mouth without hesitation, and nodded, "Miaojiang Duan Gu Pill, I didn't expect to see this unique skill."

Seeing that someone knew what was good, Long Yaner smiled and said, "Senior, you are too polite. This method was also passed down by our master."

Seeing this, Li Yan naturally did not hesitate any longer, picked up one and put it in his mouth, then turned around and said: "Master, you set up the altar outside to help, Wu Ba and Lao Sha stay to protect the altar."

Sha Lifei smiled and didn't care. He touched the big bald head and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yan. With me here, nothing can get close to the Taoist priest!"

He was afraid because he knew Li Yan was taking care of him.

Second, he was clear about the importance of Wang Daoxuan.

Li Yan has left behind the Five-sided Luofeng Flag, which is their only reinforcement outside. Once they find something wrong, they will cast a spell and rush in to rescue people.

It's impossible to get in completely because of the poisonous miasma.

Others also sent their own candidates.

For example, the old woman Bai Huan is not in good health, so it would be better for her to stay outside to hold the fort while Long Yaner brings in a few disciples.

Chongxuzi was silent for a moment, then stopped Lingfengzi who was about to take medicine, and said, "You stay. If I can't get out, you will be the master of Qingniu Temple in the future. The elders will support you."

"And you know what to say..."

After that, he took off the wooden box on his back, took out a bamboo slip from it, and said in a deep voice: "The rest is left to you. Don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Master!"

Ling Fengzi suddenly became very anxious.

"What a fussy mother!"

Chongxuzi cursed and walked into the fog with his sword.

The remaining disciples of Qingniu Temple also knew that they had made a big mistake, so they took the pills without hesitation and followed closely behind.

Li Yan also nodded to Lu San and followed him in.

To be honest, when faced with this kind of situation, he and Lu San worked together best, and bringing other people in would be a burden.

Even Wuba is the same.

In this situation, what is needed is flexibility. If Wu Ba panics and inhales the poisonous miasma and goes crazy, it will be difficult to control him.

Entering the thick fog, everything in front of me was white.

Li Yan pinched the Yang Jue, took a deep breath, and immediately shook his head.

His sense of smell was too sensitive. These poisonous miasma were filled with evil resentment, and also had a sweet and fishy smell.

Although the smell was quickly restrained by the elixir in the stomach, his sense of smell was still disturbed.

Fortunately, there is a letter of intent to point the way.

Chongxuzi turned his head and looked at him, "Mr. Li..."

"Come with me."

Li Yan nodded and took the lead.

This valley is quite large and has been washed away by mountain torrents time and time again. It is filled with mud and gravel, as well as some broken and blackened tree trunks.

What is even more peculiar is that among the mud and sand, there are many white fossils exposed, with strange shapes and each one bigger than the other.

A hint of surprise also flashed across Li Yan's eyes.

Fossils must be buried quickly after death to form, so they are often found in rocks.

This is the first time I've seen something so naked.

This valley seems to have its own secrets...

Not long after they walked away, they found several corpses on the ground. They should all be members of the Salt Gang, but they had already been skinned and their flesh had corroded and turned black.

"what-!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the front.

But they saw thick fog rising and a group of figures rushing towards them.

After getting closer, Li Yan discovered that it was Lu Jiu from the Salt Gang.

At this time, Lu Jiu had long lost his former charm. His body was covered with pustules, his flesh was bloody, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had gone mad.

For some reason, this guy was not skinned.

"Be careful, he has become poisonous, don't touch him!"

Taoist Chongxu reminded him in a deep voice, then he made some hand gestures, touched the sword, and prepared to unleash his sword energy.

boom!
Before he could make a move, a roar was heard.

Lu Jiu's upper body was covered in blood and flesh, and he fell to the ground.

Li Yan calmly retracted his gun, took out the magazine from his waist, replaced it slowly, and observed his surroundings.

Chongxuzi's eyes twitched slightly, but he said nothing.

Lu Jiu was dead, and most of the people from the Salt Gang were also in trouble, so everyone immediately quickened their pace.

Li Yan followed the clues and soon arrived at a cave.

This cave is very strange. It looks very old, but there are signs of human excavation.

Judging from the surrounding terrain, it should have been buried deep underground, but was exposed due to earthquakes and mountain torrents.

"who?!"

Taoist Chongxuzi suddenly spoke, pointing his sword upwards.

But three figures slowly walked out from the rocks at the entrance of the cave, an old man with a purple face and a Confucian robe, a woman in white palace clothes, and a one-eyed man in a black Taoist robe holding two swords.

It was the scattered immortals from Wushan...
