Chapter 564.
“Why is she so good looking?”
Jiang Ran was in the middle of scrutinizing her, when Tang Yuyi had already come to the side, her eyes full of astonishment:
“Although this appearance is still slightly inferior to my sister’s, it’s still a rare beauty on earth.
“This flute clan chief is really doing all the bad things ah.
“Such a good looking girl, can you also lay your hands on her?”
“…… Where did you see that she was victimized by the Flute Clan Chief?”
Jiang Ran helplessly glanced at Tang Yuyi.
“Could it not be?”
Tang Yuyi said, suddenly letting out an ‘oh’:
“Right ha, the Descendant Clan Chief’s innate compulsion is the Fiery Flame Compulsion.
“And yet all of them here are Cold Ice Compulsions.
“If she was victimized by this clan leader, then most likely she would have been turned into ashes as a whole instead of being frozen here.
“Well …… she is still lying on the bed.
“I just don’t know, how many years and months she has been lying here.
“Do you think there is a possibility that it was this Flute Clan Chief’s love interest in his youth.
“Because he met some kind of accident and ended up falling.
“That matriarch wanted to perform a counter-heavenly method to bring her back to life.
“That’s why he thought of a way to seal her corpse with cold ice compulsion, so that she can hold the scroll of longevity in her hand and wait for her awakening here?”
“This argument has some credibility.”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly, but then shook his head:
“But it’s still not right ……
“Although we still haven’t been able to figure out all of the specifics so far.
“However, the Flute Clan’s method of longevity is a heavenly conspiracy.
“Pursue up, need to extend to hundreds of thousands of years ago.
“Since the birth of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Hundred Races have been laying out a plan for this longevity.
“If it is in order to resurrect this girl, the party to cast this law ……
“Then you say, what kind of year does this girl have to be today?”
This account was very good, Tang Yuyi didn’t even need to pick her fingers, she felt her scalp tingle and shook her head back and forth:
“Impossible impossible.
“Such a good looking girl, how could she be a thousand year old bacon?”
“It’s a thousand year old zombie meat.”
“…… Brother-in-law, as a womanizer, aren’t you a little too unconcerned about good looking girls.”
“These few of you have already made me burnt out and lose sight of the others.
“Nowadays, not to mention the pretty girls, even if it’s not a pretty girl, I can’t even retreat when I see it, what else can I say about putting it out of mind.”
Jiang Ran looked at the longevity scroll in this ice corpse’s hand, and with a turn of his sleeve, he heard a bang.
The ice layer where the ice corpse was holding the scroll immediately crumbled.
It didn’t hurt the corpse in the slightest, but called the scroll back to life.
Jiang Ran carefully reached out to take it, but it was gripped by the ice corpse and could not be easily taken out.
The slightest force would shatter the ice corpse.
This girl was so vivid that one could not bear to treat her so cruelly.
Just pondering between, just heard the surrounding issued a dense sound, this sound called people’s scalp numb, the three people toward the surrounding sweep, see climbed in the surrounding ice rock wall above the ice parasites but at the same time moved up.
Their bodies curled and moved, gradually appearing bow-shaped.
From the mouth spit out cold air wrapped in ice prisms, where they passed, it seems that even the air can be condensed into ice.
This is not internal power …… not astral energy, this is poison!
Ice poison!
Ordinary people slightly stained the slightest bit, will be condensed into ice sculptures, collapsed after the fall on the spot.
Internal profound people, even if not immediately condensed, this cold poison will follow the meridians and up, the first frozen meridians in the internal force, and then sealed the Dantian sea, along the twelve main meridians, take the odd meridians, in a moment, you can tell people to lose all their martial arts.
Afterwards, only from the inside out, the person condensed into an ice sculpture, and then there is no day of relief.
Seeing that the ice is about to cover the three people.
Hearing that A ghost girl suddenly played the piccolo.
The sound wasn’t too loud, but it made the ice parasites that had already launched an attack suddenly quiet down.
The finely shattered ice creams did not take another step forward.
For his part, Ghost glanced at Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi and gave them a wink, telling them to follow him.
Jiang Ran glanced at the longevity scroll in the ice corpse’s hand, not rushing to strike immediately.
Solely following Ghost backwards first.
The entrance from whence they came had been blocked by cold ice, and Ah Ghost led them backward to a bare-looking ice wall following them.
Flying up, he kicked at a place on top of the ice wall.
The next moment, there was a click and the sound of the machine expanding sounded.
Immediately followed by the sound of rumbling vibration, the ice on the wall rustling fall to the ground, a stone door also fell down.
A Ghost took the first step out of the stone door.
After Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi also followed out, only then waved his hand to snap the mechanism, so that the stone door to recover.
Only then did A Ghost take a breath, after putting down the piccolo, he wanted to complain to Jiang Ran, this kind of rash action, does he want to kill everyone?
Just look up and see, Jiang Ran is curiously scrutinizing the surroundings.
For his own trouble, but simply did not care.
A moment more irritated:
“Why are you this person …… so rash?”
“Is this a place to stay for a long time?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Ghost:
“This, is the main door into this cave chamber, right?”
Agwee was silent for a moment and turned around:
“Follow me first.”
The surrounding area was no longer a primitive cave, there were traces of artificial construction all around.
Ah Ghost was still familiar with this place.
Leading Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi around three times, stopping and walking, obviously very purposeful.
Just as he was ignoring the place, Jiang Ran suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Ah Ghost turned around:
“Why did you stop?”
“You said earlier that within this Compassion God Cave, it’s not only the Clan Chief who can enter.
“Inside the Compassion God Cave, there is another Compassion God sacrifice.
“There are traces of artifacts all around, so it’s obviously their handiwork.
“You come and go as you please, so you must be one of them.
“But when you took us to see the ice corpse and the scroll of immortality in her hand, you didn’t use the front door.
“Now leading us since the middle of this cave beckons, but also hiding, not wanting us to be discovered by these sacrifices.
“You and this patriarch are not all the way with these sacrifices.”
Jiang Ran’s words were not a question, but a tone of certainty.
Agwee frowned slightly:
“Since you can see it, why don’t you leave?”
“Don’t want to leave yet.”
Jiang Ran looked toward a nearby cave chamber.
This place had been expanded in a four-square shape, but there was a relief mural on the wall.
When Jiang Ran passed by, he saw one of them at first glance.
On top of that mural, there was a woman who was accepting the pilgrimage of all the people.
Her hands were spread out, her head had a golden light, and under her feet were floating clouds that seemed to be flying in the sky.
However, behind her were not auspicious clouds.
Instead, there were all sorts of hideous parasites.
The ten thousand people who pilgrimage to her also have such parasites manifested on their bodies …… Obviously it is a skill learned from her.
When he saw this mural, Jiang Ran could not walk.
Because there were some conjectures that suddenly appeared in his mind.
Turning around, he directly entered this cave chamber.
Tang Yuyi naturally followed closely behind, and Ghost looked around with a frown on his face, so he had no choice but to follow in as well.
This was different from the original plan.
Originally, she had lured Jiang Ran to find that Longevity Scroll and had the means to take it out.
Who would have thought that Jiang Ran, without even asking, would directly strike to break the ice layer condensed by the Cold Ice Compass.
So much so, that he angered the ice compulsion, causing himself to have to step in to temporarily control it, and lead them out of danger, and came to the place where the real Compassion God Sacrifice was guarding the place.
Up to this point, the situation has been completely out of control.
For the time being, they could only let Jiang Ran lead them by the nose.
But I don’t know, once discovered by the Compassion God Sacrifice, what will happen next?
With this in mind, in the past, she should actually be anxious.
But now but do not know why, actually gave birth to a few points of anticipation, seems to have a fire in the chest, hate can not be burned out of the eight deserts, make him a heaven and earth.
See Jiang Ran at this time reached out and pointed to the mural, accepting worship of the woman, asked Tang Wuyi:
“How do you feel, how does her appearance compare to the woman you just saw?”
Tang Yuyi first froze for a moment, after all, it was hard to combine this ancient looking mural with the corpse she had just seen.
But after taking a closer look, she couldn’t help but nod:
“It may be due to the technique, and the fact that the reliefs are distorted after all, it’s hard to say that they are similar.
“However, the woman on top of this bas-relief has a few moments of the true meaning of the corpse we just saw.
“Although the shape is far away, the meaning is the same.
“Brother-in-law, they …… they are not a person?
“Is she really a thousand years of zombie flesh?”
Jiang Ran didn’t say anything, there were a total of two murals within this room, his eyes turned to the second one.
However, it was a woman, sitting in front of a desk case, holding a golden pen, writing on paper.
However, looking at her appearance, while writing with one hand, the other hand was pressing down on her forehead, seeming to be in quite a bit of pain.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi’s eyes moved down …… after all, it was a mural, and it was impossible to replicate the writing as much as possible.
But there were two words written very clearly on it: longevity!
“The Eternal Life Scroll was created by herself?”
Tang Yuyi’s heart tightened as she jerked back to look at Ghost:
“What exactly is she?”
“……”
Ah Ghost was silent for a moment, about to speak, when he heard Jiang Ran say:
“If my guess is correct, she is your Compassion God, right?”
Ah Ghost looked up brightly at his words, and after giving Jiang Ran a deep look, he then nodded:
“Yes.”
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly and glanced at Tang Yuyi:
“I made a blind guess off the top of my head, after all, this kind of thing sounds hard to trust.
“I didn’t expect that it would really be ……
“Case solved, it’s indeed thousand year old zombie meat.”
“……”
Tang Yuyi then grinned:
“So, after the Compassion God died, her body wasn’t buried, but was frozen inside this Compassion God Cave.
“No wonder this place is called the Compulsion God Cave ……
“It’s just too logical.
“It’s just that I didn’t expect that after dying for so many years, she is still this lifelike, as if she might come to life at any time.”
“What if …… she really might come alive?”
Jiang Ran suddenly spoke out of turn.
Tang Yuyi froze, her expression more or less taut:
“Brother-in-law, can you stop saying such scary words all the time?
“She’s dead like this …… how else is she going to come alive?”
Jiang Ran shook his head and looked towards another wall, what was left on this wall was a text, not a mural.
And raising his head a few words, it was: the Scroll of Eternal Life Remnants!
Jiang Ran didn’t rush to look at it, but asked Ghost:
“What is this room for?”
It was impossible for such a thing to appear in an ordinary room.
After hesitating for a moment, Ah Ghost said:
“Outsiders are not allowed to enter here, only the matriarch can enter.
“The things on the wall, the cave rituals may not be practiced, only the matriarch can learn them.
“Here, this is the clan chief’s retreat.”
“In that case, why are there only remnants of the scrolls and not the whole thing?”
“I don’t know.”
Ghost shook his head.
Jiang Ran then laughed:
“I know ……
“Isn’t the true Longevity Scroll in the hands of that Compassion God?
“The remnants of the scroll can’t be repaired for longevity, but what if there is a full …… chapter?”
“…… What then?”
Tang Yuyi asked in a hurry.
Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:
“Naturally, it can’t be repaired, otherwise, how would the Compassion God die?”
This reasoning was shallow, yet being in the middle of it often blinded one’s eyes, making it not easy to see the truth clearly.
Of course, it wasn’t just that.
Just listen to A Ghost said softly:
“Who said …… that the Compassion God died.”
Tang Yuyi couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of water:
“Is she …… she still alive?”
“Yet there is a ray of hope.”
Jiang Ran gently echoed.
Tang Yingyi remembered that Jiang Ran had said just now that the Compassion God might come to life.
Immediately, she couldn’t help but ask:
“Brother-in-law, what exactly do you see?”
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, looked at Ah Ghost:
“How about this, it’s time to tell the truth now, right?”
Ah Ghost scratched his head:
“The matriarch didn’t let say …… If you guys want to know, why don’t you just go ask the matriarch?”
“Exactly.”
Jiang Ran looked outside the cave chamber and said softly:
“Why doesn’t the matriarch come in and talk about it in detail?”
Tang Yuyi and Ah Gwi turned back with an open mind.
A Ghost’s eyes were quite relaxed, facing Jiang Ran, she always had to raise her spirits, she was really nervous.
It would be good if the matriarch was really there.
As for Tang Yuyi, she was appalled.
Her martial arts were not weak, and it could be said that when looking at the world, she was a supreme expert.
Yet she hadn’t expected that now that this Flute Clan Chief was right outside, she hadn’t even noticed it in the slightest.
And just as the two turned back, the sound of footsteps also came from outside the door.
This clan leader who came in, however, still had Tian Youfang’s face on.
He glanced at Ghost and shook his head helplessly, then glanced at Jiang Ran and slightly cupped his fists:
“Demon father’s divine power is overwhelming, I really don’t dare to meet him easily, or else I’m only afraid that Demon father will slap me to death without listening to old man’s defense.
“It is because I was not able to meet with my true face earlier, please ask the devil …… to forgive me.”
“No harm done.”
Jiang Ran said:
“You’ve also considered it thoroughly, the Flute Clan’s matters are messy and covered up, making this Honor’s senses of you extremely poor indeed.
“It might really be as you think it is, and as soon as I see you face to face, I’ll just beat you to death.
“All things, too, will be settled once and for all.”
The patriarch let out a bitter smile:
“The demonic father is smiling ……
“The old man knows that at this point in time, there are some things that really need to be made clear.
“Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect my life today.
“However, this place is ultimately not a place to talk …… If it is detected by the rituals in the cave, then everything will be over.
“Please also ask the Demon Venerable and Holy Maiden to follow the old man, let’s find another place to talk.”
“Good, the guest will follow the host.”
Jiang Ran nodded.
Ah Ghost had wanted to leave, but she didn’t expect the matriarch to look at her afterward:
“You also come with us.”
Ah Ghost then had no choice but to agree.
Turning around, with the matriarch leading the way, the path was not long this time, and soon enough, they had already walked through these caves with artificial traces.
Came to no man’s land.
Just to this also did not stop, but all the way forward, a few moments later, unexpectedly arrived at the fork in the road when their group just came here.
Not far ahead, to the first level of the cave room.
It was exactly where that Compassion King was originally located.
“Back then, when Ana saw that the old man had killed Ah Zhu, his heart and guts were cracked, and he was so grief-stricken ……
“The old man knew that it was useless to defend himself.
“So I let him take away the compulsion king ……”
Traveling here, the patriarch spoke softly:
“This parting of the ways for many years, but it has been bitter for him.”
Tang Wuyi glanced at Jiang Ran, while Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“The old matriarch is well-intentioned.”
“It’s just something that has to be done.”
The patriarch sighed and turned to look at Jiang Ran:
“There is confusion in the devil’s heart, and there is difficulty in the old man’s heart.
“After we finish today, if the Demon Lord believes what I said, how about I also ask you to do me a favor?”
“If your reasoning is enough to convince this demonic father, it wouldn’t be wrong to help you.”
“Good.”
The old clan chief sighed and first wiped his face.
A layer of transparent stuff suddenly detached from his face, followed by a few kneads by his fingertips, becoming a rounded bug.
He put this thing into his sleeve, and when he looked at his face again, it had returned to its original appearance.
Dark and green, full of the color of old age.
It was just like the one he had seen in his yard at that time.
He then reached out and untied his lapel, slowly opening it:
“Demon father, please look at ……”
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi looked at the same time and saw that above his chest, there was actually a living thing.
It was a large centipede with half of its body outside.
Each of the centipede’s legs, as if they were knives, went deep under the skin, locking itself dead in the patriarch’s chest.
The other half of the body, deep within the flesh and blood, seemed to be running towards the heart.
“This is the …… Heart Devouring Compulsion?”
Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes slightly with just a glance:
“I’ve heard that this compulsion is a companion compulsion that grows along with the person.
“If the person who placed the compulsion doesn’t help suppress it, the person with the companion compulsion won’t live for more than three years.
“Every time it is suppressed, it can prolong life by one year. ……
“Judging from the size of this companion compulsion of the Matriarch, could it be that it has already followed you for the rest of your life?”
“Demon Elder’s eyes are wise.”
The matriarch said softly:
“It has been sixty-three years since I succeeded the patriarch’s position, so this object has followed me for sixty-three years.
“Every year, I have to be careful and act according to what they say, and if I am not careful, I will die and my life will fall.”
“What kind of person could even put such a compulsion on you?”
Tang Yuyi was a bit surprised, this was the Flute Clan Chief, the world’s number one parasite expert was none other than him.
How could he also be bewitched?
Just listen to the old patriarch let out a bitter laugh:
“Naturally, it was …… the Compassion God Sacrifice that did this.”
