Martial Arts: Gain a Jiazi internal force at the beginning!

Chapter 566 Patriarch
"Why is she so beautiful?"

Just as Jiang Ran was looking at himself, Tang Huayi had already come to the edge, his eyes full of surprise:
“Although this appearance is slightly inferior to that of my sister, it is still extremely beautiful and rare in the world.

“This leader of the Flute Clan has really done all kinds of bad things.

"How can you do this to such a beautiful girl?"

"...How did you figure out that she was killed by the leader of the Flute Clan?"

Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi helplessly.

"Is not it?"

Tang Huayi said, and suddenly said "oh":
"Yes, the leader of the Flute Clan's natal Gu is the Flame Gu.

“But everything here is filled with ice Gu.

"If she was harmed by this clan leader, she would probably be reduced to ashes instead of being frozen here.

"If it was to resurrect this girl, I just used this method...

The finely broken ice never took another step forward.

“Since the birth of hundreds of tribes in Shiwandashan, they have been planning for this eternal life.

"Because of some accident, he died.

Jiang Ran looked at the longevity scroll in the ice corpse's hand, and when he turned his sleeve, he heard a bang.

Their bodies curl and move, gradually taking on an arched shape.

This account was easy to calculate. Tang Huayi felt his scalp numb without even lifting his fingers and shook his head:

"Then tell me, how old is this girl now?"

"The patriarch wanted to do something against heaven and let her regain her life.

“You guys have already made me so anxious and worried about one thing and not the other.

"...Brother-in-law, as a lecher, you don't care a little too much about good-looking girls."

After that, people were turned into ice sculptures from the inside out, and there was no day for liberation.

"So he found a way to seal her body with ice Gu, let her hold the Scroll of Immortality, and wait here to wake up?"

For people with advanced internal energy, even if it does not condense immediately, the cold poison will follow the meridians, first freezing the internal energy in the meridians, and then sealing the sea of ​​Qi in the Dantian. It will follow the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. In a short period of time, one can lose all his martial arts skills.

Then I heard the ghost girl suddenly playing the piccolo.

The cold air coming out of his mouth was wrapped in ice, and wherever it passed, it seemed that even the air could be condensed into ice.

The ice layer where the ice corpse was holding the scroll immediately shattered.

Jiang Ran glanced at the longevity scroll in the ice corpse's hand, and took action immediately without any hurry.

While they were pondering, they heard dense sounds coming from the surroundings. The sounds made people's scalp numb. The three of them glanced around and saw that the ice Gu clinging to the surrounding ice rock walls moved at the same time. stand up.

“The investigation needs to be extended to hundreds or thousands of years ago.

"Now let's not talk about beautiful girls, even if they are not beautiful girls, I can't help but retreat when I see them, and I can't say whether I take them to heart."

“Although we still don’t know all the details of the situation.

“Well…she’s still lying on the bed.

Jiang Ran carefully reached out to take it, but it was tightly held by the ice corpse and could not be easily taken out.

“It can’t be impossible.

The sound was not too loud, but it suddenly silenced the ice Gu that had launched the attack.

If you apply a little force, the ice corpse will shatter into pieces.

"How could such a beautiful girl be a thousand-year-old bacon?"

"Do you think it's possible that this leader of the Di clan was a good friend when he was young?

This isn't internal force... it's not Qi, it's poison!
Ice poison!

Seeing that the ice was about to cover the three of them.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly, but then shook his head:
"But it's still not right...

This girl is so lifelike that one cannot bear to be treated so cruelly.

It did not harm the corpse at all, but it allowed the scroll to see the light of day again.

"I just don't know how many years she has been lying here.

A Gui glanced at Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi, winked at them, and asked them to follow him.

"This statement has some credibility."

“However, the Flute Clan’s method of immortality is a huge conspiracy.

If an ordinary person is contaminated in the slightest, it will be condensed into an ice sculpture, which will be broken on the spot after collapse.

"It's thousand-year-old zombie meat."

Simply follow Agui first.

The entrance they came from had been blocked by ice, and Agui led them back to a seemingly bare ice wall.

He flew up and hit a spot on the ice wall.

The next moment, there was a click and the sound of the amplifier running.

Immediately followed by a rumbling sound of vibration, the ice cubes on the wall fell to the ground, and a stone door also fell.

Agui walked out of the stone door first.

After Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi also came out, he waved his hand to trigger the mechanism and let the Shimen recover.

Only then did Agui take a breath. After putting down the piccolo, he originally wanted to complain about Jiang Ran. But by acting so rashly, could he mean to kill everyone?
Just looking up, Jiang Ran was looking at the surroundings curiously.

He didn't care at all about the trouble he had caused.

Momentarily even more angry:
"You...why are you so rash?"

"Is this a long-term stay?"

Jiang Ran glanced at Agui:
"This is the main entrance to the cave, right?"

Agui was silent for a moment, then turned around:

"Follow me first."

The surrounding area no longer looks like the original cave, but is surrounded by traces of artificial fortifications.

Agui is still familiar with this place.

He led Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi around three times, sometimes stopping, sometimes walking, obviously very purposeful.

Just as he was ignoring it, Jiang Ran suddenly stopped.

The ghost looked back:

"Why stop?"

"You said before that not only the clan leader can enter this Gu God Cave.

“In the Gu God Cave, there are other sacrifices to the Gu God.

“There are artificial traces all around, obviously they were made by them.

"You can come and go here freely, and you must be one of them.

"But you took us to see the ice corpse and the scroll of longevity in her hand, but we didn't go through the main entrance.

"Now he is leading us through the cave, but he is also hiding, not wanting us to be discovered by these sacrifices.

"You and this clan leader are not the same as these priests."

Jiang Ran's words were not a question, but a tone of affirmation.

Agui frowned slightly:

"Now that you've seen it, why don't you leave?"

"I don't want to leave just yet."

Jiang Ran looked at a cave nearby.

The place has been expanded into a square shape, but there are relief murals on the walls.

When Jiang Ran passed by, he saw one of these at first sight.

On the mural, there is a woman receiving worship from all people.

She spread her hands, there was golden light on her head, and there were floating clouds under her feet, as if she were flying in the sky.

However, there is no auspicious cloud behind it.

But all kinds of extremely ferocious Gu insects.

All the people who worshiped her also had such poisonous insects appearing on their bodies... obviously they learned the skills from her.

When he saw this mural, Jiang Ran couldn't walk.

Because some guesses suddenly appeared in his mind.

Turning around, he entered the cave directly.

Tang Huayi naturally followed closely behind. Agui looked around and frowned, so he had no choice but to follow in.

This is different from the original plan.

Originally, she led Jiang Ran to find the longevity scroll, and she had a way to take it out.

Who would have thought that Jiang Ran would break the ice layer formed by the Ice Gu without even asking.

So much so that he angered the Ice Gu, and he had to take action to temporarily control them, and then led them out of danger and came to the place where the Gu God's sacrifice was truly guarded.

So far, the situation is completely out of control.

For the time being, I can only let Jiang Ran lead me away.

But I don’t know, once discovered by the Gu God Priest, what will happen next?

At this point in her thoughts, under normal circumstances, she should actually be uneasy.

But now, I don't know why, but I have a bit of expectation. It seems that there is a fire in my chest, wishing to burn up the whole world and turn him upside down.

At this moment, Jiang Ran reached out and pointed at the woman receiving worship in the mural, and asked Tang about the meaning of the painting:
"How do you think her appearance compares with the woman we just met?"

Tang Huayi was stunned for a moment. After all, it was difficult to combine this ancient-looking mural with the corpse he just saw.

But after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but nodded:

"Perhaps due to the technique and the distortion of the reliefs, it is difficult to say that they are similar.

"However, the woman on this relief has some real meaning of the corpse we just saw.

“Although the shapes are far apart, the meanings are the same.

"Brother-in-law, they...are they the same person?

"Is she really a thousand-year-old zombie?"

Jiang Ran didn't speak. There were two murals in the room. He turned his eyes and looked at the second one.

But it was a woman, sitting in front of the desk, holding a gold pen and writing on the paper.

However, looking at her appearance, while writing with one hand, the other hand was holding her forehead, which seemed to be quite painful.

Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi's eyes moved downward... After all, it was a mural, and it was impossible to reproduce all the written content.

But there are two words clearly written on it: Immortality!

"Did she create the Immortality Scroll herself?"

Tang Huayi's heart tightened and she suddenly turned back to look at Agui:

"Who is she?" "..."

A Gui was silent for a moment, and when he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Ran say:

"If my guess is correct, she is your Gu God, right?"

Agui suddenly raised his head when he heard this, took a deep look at Jiang Ran, and then nodded:

"Yes."

Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely and glanced at Tang Huayi:
"I just made a random guess, after all, this kind of thing sounds difficult to win people's trust.

"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be...

"The case has been solved. It is indeed thousand-year-old zombie meat."

"..."

Tang Huayi grinned:

“So, after the Gu God died, her body was not buried, but was frozen in the Gu God Cave.

"No wonder this place is called Gu Shen Cave...

“It’s so reasonable.

"I just didn't expect that she would still be so lifelike after so many years of death, as if she might come back to life at any time."

"What if... it's really possible for her to survive?"

Jiang Ran suddenly said something shocking.

Tang Huayi was stunned for a moment, her expression a bit unbearable:
"Brother-in-law, can you please stop saying such scary things?
"She's already dead like this...how can she survive?"

Jiang Ran shook his head and looked at another wall. What was left on this wall was a text, not a mural.

And when he raised his head, he read a few words: Fragmentary Scroll of Immortality!

Jiang Ran was not in a hurry to see it, but asked Agui:
"What is this room used for?"

It is impossible for such a thing to appear in an ordinary room.

Agui hesitated for a moment and then said:
“Outsiders are not allowed to enter here, only the clan leader can enter.

“The things on the wall cannot be practiced by sacrifices in the cave, only the clan leader can learn them.

"This is the clan leader's retreat."

"If that's the case, why are there only fragments and not the whole story?"

"I do not know."

Agui shook his head.

Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"I know……

“Isn’t the real Immortality Scroll in the hands of that Gu God?
"You can't live forever by repairing the fragments, but what if you have the whole book...?"

"...So what?"

Tang Huayi asked quickly.

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:
"Of course it can't be cultivated. Otherwise, how could the Gu God die?"

This truth is simple, but being in it often blinds people, making it difficult for people to see the truth clearly.

Of course, it's not just that.

Just listen to Agui whispering:

"Who said... Gu God is dead."

Tang Huayi couldn't help but swallowed:
"She...is she still alive?"

"But there is a glimmer of hope."

Jiang Ran agreed gently.

Tang Huayi remembered that Jiang Ran had just said that the Gu God might come back to life.

Immediately couldn't help but ask:
"Brother-in-law, what exactly did you see?"

Jiang Ran looked at Agui:
"Well, now that things have come to a point, it's time to tell the truth, right?"

Agui scratched his head:

"The patriarch didn't let me tell you... If you want to know, why don't you just ask the patriarch?"

"Right on my mind."

Jiang Ran looked outside the cave and said softly:

"Clan leader, why don't you come in and talk in detail?"

Tang Huayi and A Gui suddenly turned around.

A Gui's eyes were quite relaxed. Facing Jiang Ran, she always had to brace herself up, and she was really nervous.

It would be great if the clan leader was really here.

As for Tang Huayi, he was shocked.

Her martial arts skills are not weak. It can be said that she is a top master in the world.

But she didn't expect that she didn't even notice that the leader of the Di clan was outside now.

And just when the two of them turned back, footsteps came from outside the door.

The clan leader who came in was still standing in Tian Youfang's face.

He glanced at A Gui, shook his head helplessly, glanced at Jiang Ran again, and clasped his fists slightly:

"The Demon Lord is so powerful that I really don't dare to meet him easily, otherwise I'm afraid that the Demon Lord won't listen to my excuse and will beat me to death with one palm.

"Because I was unable to see you with my true face before, I ask the Demon Lord...to forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Ran said:

"You have considered everything carefully. The affairs of the Di clan are messy and secretive, which makes me feel very bad towards you.

"Maybe it will be like what you think, and I will beat you to death as soon as I see you.

"Everything will be settled once and for all."

The patriarch smiled bitterly:
"The Demon Lord is laughing...

"I know that now that things have come to a point, some things really need to be explained clearly.

“Otherwise, your life will not be saved today.

"But this place is not a place to talk after all... If the priest in the cave notices, then everything will be over.

"Please also ask the Demon Lord and Saint to accompany me. Let's find another place to talk."

"Okay, guests are welcome to do as you please."

Jiang Ran nodded.

Agui wanted to leave, but she didn't expect the clan leader to look at her and say:
"You come with us too."

Agui had no choice but to agree.

Turning around, the clan leader led the way. This time the journey was not long, and we soon passed through these caves with artificial traces.

Came to a deserted place.

However, they did not stop when they got here, but kept moving forward. After a while, they arrived at the fork where their group had just arrived.

Not far ahead, we reached the first level of the cave.

It was exactly where the Gu King originally was.

"When Ana saw that I had killed A-Zhu, she was heartbroken and filled with grief and anger...

"I know that it is useless to defend myself.

"Let him take away the Gu King..."

When they got here, the clan leader spoke softly:
"This long separation has been hard on him."

Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran, and Jiang Ran chuckled:
"The old patriarch has good intentions."

"I just have to do it."

The patriarch sighed, turned around and looked at Jiang Ran:
"The Demon Lord is confused, and I am troubled.

"After what I have said today, if Demon Lord believes what I said, how about you do me a favor?"

"If your reasons are enough to convince me, I might as well help you."

"it is good."

The old patriarch sighed and wiped it on his face first.

A layer of transparent substance suddenly detached from his face, and was kneaded a few times by his fingers, turning into a round insect.

He put this thing into his sleeves, and when he looked at his face, it had returned to its original appearance.

Black and blue, full of age.

He was just like the one I saw in his yard at that time.

Then he reached out and unbuttoned his shirt and slowly opened it:

"Demon Lord, please look..."

Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi looked at it at the same time and saw a living thing on his chest.

It was a big centipede with half of its body outside.

Each leg of this centipede was like a knife, penetrating deep into the skin and locking itself tightly into the clan leader's chest.

The other half of the body goes deep into the flesh and blood, seemingly heading towards the heart.

"Is this...heart-eating Gu?"

Jiang Ran just took a glance and then narrowed his eyes slightly:

"I heard that this Gu is a companion Gu that grows with people.

"If there is no help from the person who cast the poison to suppress it, the person with the accompanying poison will not survive more than three years.

"Every time you suppress it, you can extend your life by one year...

"Judging from the size of the clan leader's companion Gu, could it be that it has been following you all your life?"

"The demon has a sharp eye."

The patriarch said softly:

"It has been sixty-three years since I succeeded to the position of patriarch, and this thing has been with me for sixty-three years.

"Every year, I have to be careful and do what they say. If I'm not careful, I will die."

"Who could actually put such a poison on you?"

Tang Huayi was a little surprised. This was the leader of the Di clan, and he was the best Gu master in the world today.

He can actually be bewitched?
I heard the old patriarch smile bitterly:
"Of course...it was done by the Gu God's sacrifice."
