After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 47. First Day

After killing Gu Rufeng, Song Yan immediately returned to the cave.

Soul-searching is, after all, a popular spell at the level of practicing Xuan. It can be practiced at the third level of practicing Xuan. With this in mind, even if one swallows the soul, what can be seen is only "recent events, the main thoughts in the mind, and a few impressive scenes." As for the subconscious, the practiced skills, and the distant vague memories, they cannot be seen.

The principle is also very obvious: if you want to see more and more details, then it is not soul searching, but soul fusion. If you merge other people's subconscious, skills, vague memories, then you will naturally merge their joys, sorrows, anger, hates, hobbies, seven emotions and six desires, obsessions, etc.
Then you'll go crazy too.

As for the shadow puppets and other mysterious objects, he did not take them in order to maintain the scene of Gu Rufeng's death.

He couldn't afford to sow the seeds of disaster for the sake of petty gain.

At this moment, the cave was cold and empty.

Song Yan looked around and walked slowly.

Because I came back late today and everything is not going well, I will take a rest for a while.

And tomorrow, there will be a lot of things to do.

First, I have to pay a visit to the new leader of Nanzhu Peak.

Of course, from Gu Rufeng's memory, Song Yan also knew that the new peak master was actually Master Shi.

Secondly, he had to find an antidote to remove the poison that the Sect Master had given him five years ago.

Then I will see if there are any adjustments to my position and what I need to do.

Although it was already late when Song Yan returned from "recruiting new disciples", he could still feel that Nanzhu Peak was quite lonely. It was obvious that not many disciples had returned and even the guards at the gate had been replaced.

Many people had already died during the sneak attack on Nanwu Jianmen that night, and even more were killed this time. I'm afraid there are only two or three disciples he recognizes among the sixty-two caves in Nanzhu Peak.

If we take into account the fact that the leader of Shadow Puppet Peak is a ghost cultivator himself, as well as the large number of leather masters who were abducted by the ghost cultivators, "Shadow Puppet Peak" is actually almost in a paralyzed state. This is also the reason why Gu Rufeng was able to become an elder.

As Song Yan thought about it, he lifted the curtain and checked the cave. Finding that it was no different from when he went there, he lay down on the stone couch with peace of mind.

Empty mountain, lonely bed.

Outside the skylight, the wind and snow mixed with the darkness, like rustling black and white dots.

Song Yan tossed and turned for a while and couldn't fall asleep.

It’s not because there is no woman to warm the bed, but because he is instinctively alert when returning to this dangerous environment. Add to that the lingering excitement of killing Gu Rufeng, the uncertainty about tomorrow, and so on, it’s hard for him to feel at ease.

Another person who was equally uneasy was Gu Rufeng's "mistress" Bi Huaiyi.

This woman went to the main peak of Shadow Peak under an assumed pretext, precisely to meet her lover in secret, and at the same time to plot how to poison Shi Zuo Weng and force him to hand over his legacy.

But she had waited until three o'clock in the morning, but still hadn't seen Gu Rufeng.

She went to investigate again, only to find that the disciples who had gone with Gu Rufeng to "recruit new members" had already returned.

She was in a state of panic.

After one night, the news of Gu Rufeng's disappearance was completely revealed.

The current acting leader of Shadow Play Peak is Gu Rufeng’s grandfather, Gu Tianyang.

Gu Tianyang stopped all activities without saying anything, and then mobilized all his disciples to search everywhere. Seeing that there was no news, he went out himself.

Even disciples who had just returned, such as Song Yan and Wang Susu, had all joined the search for "Elder Gu".

Shadow puppets were flying in the sky and running on the snow-covered cliffs.

The disciples let go of their senses and searched the surrounding area.

But Song Yan and Wang Susu were walking miserably in the snow.

Song Yan felt a little speechless: he had just killed Gu Rufeng yesterday, and today he had to spend the entire day "looking for Elder Gu".

Unlike the disciples who were flying in the sky, shouts could be heard from time to time around him.

"Elder Gu, where are you?"

"Elder Gu~~~"

"Elder Gu, is that you? Elder Gu!"

"Ah! No! Everyone be careful, it's a two-headed wolf! It's a two-headed wolf!!"

After a fierce fight, the two-headed wolf monster was finally killed by several disciples who had entered the first level of Lianxuan.

Song Yan put away his sword. Puppets' disciples usually did not carry weapons, but those who were not yet able to control their skins would usually carry swords.

At this moment, he heaved a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with emotion: "The monster is really scary."

Wang Susu stretched out her boots and kicked the wolf, then revealed a cruel look and raised the knife to stab into its head again.

when!
The monster's head is very hard.

Wang Susu exerted her strength to suppress it again.

puff!
The skull was shattered and brain matter gushed out.

Wang Susu curled her lips, kicked the wolf's head with her boot, and said, "It's boring."

Song Yan knew that she was "making trouble for something else". She said that the wolf was boring, but in fact she was saying that "coming out to search for Gu Rufeng before getting the antidote" was very boring.

Gu Rufeng was an elder after all, so what could possibly happen to him? For him alone, everyone stopped doing anything and came out to look for him.

Can this be interesting?

Song Yan walked closer, glanced at the unfamiliar faces around him, and said, "Senior Sister, I couldn't see it last night, but today, it seems that there are many more fellow disciples."

Wang Susu said: "We left five years ago, but in the past five years, there has been a continuous influx of new blood from outside, but the loss is relatively large. But from our batch, I'm afraid there are only you and me left."

After saying that, she giggled and leaned closer, saying, "Junior brother, should we get closer? Speaking of which, I haven't tasted you yet. How about trying it tonight? I will definitely make you feel comfortable, more comfortable than any of your furnaces and cauldrons."

"forget it."

"Are you shy?"

"Well, sort of."

Wang Susu was stunned for a moment, she covered her lips and smiled coquettishly, then said "Senior Sister, too", and then walked beside Song Yan with a smile and a swaying coquettish look, but her eyes were keenly observing the surroundings.

Everyone was walking in groups of three or five, each in their own small circle.

People like Wang Susu and Song Yan, who are of a higher generation, have no one to call them senior brothers or sisters. Instead, they seem to be somewhat alienated.

The group of disciples continued to search in the delphinium forest.

Suddenly, the disciple walking in front stopped abruptly.

When that car stopped, all the cars behind it stopped immediately.

Wang Susu stepped out from the crowd, looked forward, and stopped with her eyes wide open in shock.

Even after a night of snow, a terrifying dent could still be seen on the ground. It was a straight track that was dozens of feet long and several feet deep. The surrounding rocks were shattered and the trees collapsed.

"What kind of monster is this?" a disciple asked in a fearful voice.

Then, someone else answered: "It's definitely not a two-headed wolf. At least... at least a mid-level monster."

Wang Susu's pupils constricted, and she stepped back silently with an idea in her mind.

She was a careful person and had already identified the intermediate monsters clearly during her years in the leather workshop. She also had a general idea of ​​the destructive power of the "intermediate monsters" through communication with senior brothers such as Zhang Yin.

This level
Obviously it was just the consequence of a simple chain.

This is not a mid-level monster, but a high-level monster!!
She stepped back further, and when she had protected everyone in front of her, she looked to the side and actually saw Junior Brother Song.

There was surprise in Wang Susu's eyes.

Song Yan smiled at her knowingly.

Wang Susu also smiled. She finally understood why her junior brother was able to survive so long.
However, after Song Yan put away his smile, he felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Last night, in order to kill Gu Rufeng, he directly manifested the Hundred Aspects of Demon Body. However, this "Hundred Aspects of Demon Body" was only the "aspects" of "eight low-level little demon beasts". Otherwise, it would not have left such obvious traces in the action.

It snowed heavily all night, but it still hasn’t completely covered the ground!

Once things settle down here, he will have to find a way to get some skins of high-level monsters.

The "Hundred Aspects of the Demonic Body" was a spell that he had spent thousands of years to comprehend. Although it was created behind closed doors, its power and growth potential were unmatched by any other spell.

The stronger the shadow puppet, the stronger he is.

He needs better monster skins!
After a day of searching, Gu Rufeng's body was found.

At this time, the corpse was lying on the main peak of Shadow Play Peak, with evil spirits flowing throughout the body, and ghosts already hiding deep in its flesh and blood.

Gu Tianyang raised his hand angrily, and the ghosts fled out with a "squeak", but they became listless and weak in the sunlight.

The blow to the chest was fatal.

Gu Tianyang lowered his head, raised his hand to touch the wound, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Did you find anything?"

Shi Zuo Weng was standing beside him. Whether he was pretending or not, his eyes were filled with pain, as if he was sending off a young man. After all, Gu Rufeng was his disciple.
Gu Tianyang asked: "Master Shi, can't you see it?"

Shizuo Weng said: "Although his body was impacted by the evil spirit, the fatal wound was in his chest. It was a sword wound. Five years ago, I remember you, Peak Master, gave him a sword."

Gu Tianyang said: "That is a very good flying sword, a trophy I captured! The wound is exactly the same width as the flying sword! "

Suddenly, flames rose in his eyes, and he said, "It could only be that Xiao Feng's most trusted person killed him when he let his guard down!!"

Shizuo Weng was stunned.

Gu Tianyang said: "It's not you!"

Shi Zuo Weng was even more surprised: "It's not me?"

Gu Tianyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Shi, I'm sorry for something."

He made a "tsk" sound, then said with a fierce look in his eyes: "It's your Taoist partner——Bi Huaiyi. I suspect her and want to search her soul!!"

Shi Zuo Weng didn't seem surprised, he just sighed and said, "I know about her and Xiao Feng. I owe her a lot, Master Gu Feng. Can you spare her life? She won't harm Xiao Feng."

Gu Tianyang looked at him strangely, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry this time, just consider it as I owe you a favor!"
