From the standstill of time, across the heavens

Regardless of the East or the West, since ancient times, there have been various legends of "sacred trees" and "sacred trees" all over the world. Ancient books say that the Kunlun sacred tree is also called the tree that reaches the sky. The Kunlun Shenmu is the ladder between heaven and earth.

There are related records about the legends of similar sacred trees. The three sacred trees of Fusang, Lamu and Ruomu are the most famous three among the many myths and legends recorded in ancient Chinese documents such as "Shan Hai Jing" and "Huai Nan Zi". Ruomu, also known as "Kunlun Ruomu", can be regarded as the prototype of Kunlun Shenmu.

And on the coffin made of Kunlun Shenmu grew a huge green flower, the size of the flower was like a big bucket, with a small mouth and a thick belly, the petals were rolled together, the whole body was emerald green, and there were a large blood-red leaves on each side. Roots had grown on the wood, and its tendrils, together with the great iron chain, wrapped tightly around the length of the wood.

This should be corpse-flavored konjac. It has two functions. One is to keep the corpse from decaying and to make the corpse emit fragrance, which is extremely precious; the other is to make people hallucinate and guard the tomb.

The reason why the corpse-fragrant konjac can grow in the mountainside of Mount Zagrama without photosynthesis is entirely due to its parasitism on the Kunlun sacred tree.

From this we can see the magic and preciousness of this Kunlun Shenmu.

###398 Chapter Essence Queen Kunlun Shenmu###

At this time, with the arrival of Hao Shuai, the corpse-fragrant konjac looks even more coquettish and abnormal. The bright colors of the flowers and leaves are shocking to watch. Slender red stamens.

Corpse-scented konjac is blooming at this moment!

As the corpse-scented konjac blossomed, a strange fragrance filled the air. The curious Hao Shuai tried to take two deep breaths, and suddenly felt dizzy, so scared that Hao Shuai quickly used the turtle breath technique.

Gan~

The aroma of this corpse-scented konjac can actually directly act on people's spiritual level, making people fall into a spiritual illusion.

This psychedelic effect is too strong!

Although Hao Shuai had smelled the strange fragrance in the air long after crossing the dark river, he thought it was just a simple smell in the air, so out of a cautious character, he covered his whole body with thoughts.

At this time, Hao Shuai also figured out that the scope of influence of this corpse-scented konjac is not at all above the stone beams mentioned by Professor Chen in the plot.

With more than 1000 years of continuous flowering and fading, and because it is underground, the strange aroma of corpse-flavored konjac has long filled the entire underground palace, especially after passing through the underground river, because there is no isolation of water vapor, the fragrance is even stronger.

In the original plot, after Hu Bayi and his group crossed the dark river, they were all in an illusion without knowing it.

When we got to the ghost cave, we fell into the fantasy story woven by corpse-scented konjac.

After thinking this through, Hao Shuai looked at the Konjac Konjac, which was trying to release its fragrance to Hao Shuai, and squeezed the bewitching flower into a ball with both hands, and a large amount of black liquid flowed out!

Then the whole corpse-fragrant konjac with its stems and whiskers was ripped off from the Kunlun sacred tree and thrown into the ghost cave.

Only a dozen thick iron chains remained on the entire Kunlun sacred tree. Hao Shuai carefully looked at the Kunlun, which was more than two meters in diameter, still had branches and forks on the trunk, and even had many green leaves. Shenmu.

As he approached the sacred tree, Hao Shuai felt that there was a thick Yimu Jingyuan exuding from it, and the sacred tree was still absorbing the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth automatically.

This discovery made Hao Shuai's eyes light up. The Kunlun Shenmu's ability to automatically absorb spiritual energy may not be as important as its ability to maintain corpses in the end of the Dharma Era.

But for Hao Shuai, who can travel through myriad worlds, as long as he takes this Kunlun Shenmu to a world with strong spiritual energy, with this effect, the speed will be several times faster than usual just by practicing beside it. This is tailor-made for Hao Shuai A custom-made practice plug-in!

Originally, Hao Shuai just wanted to come to the Ghost Blowing Lantern World to pick up a zombie and go back. He didn't expect to get such a precious treasure by luck, which made Hao Shuai extremely proud.

God really favored the tall and handsome man!

"Crack~~"

Cut off the iron chains binding the Kunlun Sacred Tree with the Yitian Sword, and after removing the iron chains, Hao Shuai found that the coffin made of the trunk of the Kunlun Sacred Tree did not have too many traces of artificial processing, and largely retained its original shape , the bark is still as new, if not for the sharp-eyed Hao Shuai who found a small crack in the trunk, it would not be easy to see where the coffin lid is.

The coffin lid was directly retracted into the space, revealing the female corpse in the coffin, lying flat in the coffin. Besides, the coffin was empty, and there were no funerary objects.

Looking at the Kunlun Shenmu that had been hollowed out a lot, Hao Shuai wished he could grab the Jingjue Queen who was lying in it and give him a hard pump.

What a loser!

How much Kunlun Shenmu was wasted!

Just doing what he said, Hao Shuai stretched out a hand, and ripped off the mask from the corpse of Queen Jingjue.

The face of the Queen Jingjue was revealed, her black hair was like clouds, her eyebrows were tucked into her temples, her face was beautiful, her eyes were closed, and her face was frighteningly white. If she hadn't felt the turbulent corpse in Queen Jingjue's body, she would have looked They are all like living people.

"It's okay, okay, it's not Xueli Yang." Hao Shuai said happily. It seems that the only Hu Bayi who has seen the face of Jingjue Queen in the plot is because he is deeply in the illusion, so he sees Jingjue Queen as Xueli. Li Yang's appearance.

According to legend, Queen Jingjue was the most beautiful woman in the 36 countries of the Western Regions at that time, and now it seems that she really lived up to her reputation. This legend is not exaggerated.

"Huh? Why didn't you cheat or resurrect?" Hao Shuai said to himself, "Didn't the time-traveling seniors encounter resurrection or spiritual invasion? Why didn't I react?"

Hao Shuai's face was full of doubts at this time, and he even stretched out his hand to pat the Queen Jingjue's face without giving up, but there was still no response.

Only then did he resolutely put the Jingjue Queen and Kunlun Shenmu into the space, and when he found time later, he would turn the Jingjue Queen into a zombie.

As far as the corpse aura he sensed just now, Hao Shuai felt that once the Jingjue Queen was successfully refined, it would probably be at least at the level of a silver-armored corpse, and by then Hao Shuai would be Hao Shuai's strongest combat power.

After finishing the Queen, Hao Shuaizai looked at the dark ghost cave below, and said to himself, "Ghost cave? Imaginary space? I want to see what mysteries you have!"

After finishing speaking, Hao Shuai jumped directly towards the ghost cave.

Under the acceleration of gravity, Hao Shuai fell faster and faster, and the depth of his fall became deeper and deeper.

Hao Shuai, who was doing free fall, looked around boredly. At this time, Hao Shuai felt that he had fallen at least 4000 meters. He found a decayed and almost rotten stone ladder on the wall of the ghost cave.

This ghost cave has gone through three stages. At the beginning, they belonged to the ghost cave tribe, but then they went to Eluohai City in Kunlun. They knew how to borrow the power of the snake god through sacrifices, and then the Zagrama tribe discovered the holy land sealed by the ghost cave tribe. In Ghost Cave, the priests of their tribe created jade eyeballs in order to pry into the secrets of Ghost Cave, and then the whole clan was cursed. Behind them, the ancestor Jingjue Queen of the Ghost Cave Tribe returned to the Holy Land and established the Jingjue Kingdom.

The only ones who can leave traces of human activities in such a deep place and have a long history are the original ghost cave tribe.

Time goes by slowly...

The free fall has lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and Hao Shuai didn’t know how deep he fell. At this time, the scene in front of him also changed a lot. There were many ghost holes written on the surrounding walls. Wen's murals.

The curious Hao Shuai stopped the falling momentum by flying with his mind, and turned to look at the murals on the wall.

Although Hao Shuai doesn't know ghost cave writing, he can still guess the meaning by looking at the pictures. From the murals, Hao Shuai roughly knows the origin of this ghost cave. It turns out that all this comes from a corpse from the imaginary space.

One day, a long time ago, a huge opening suddenly opened in the sky, and a huge snake corpse fell out of the crack.

The snake corpse fell directly to Mount Zagrama, smashing the surface into a bottomless abyss.

With the passage of time, the snake corpse gradually decayed and only the skeleton remained, which was called the bone of the snake god by the person who discovered the giant snake corpse recently.

Later, the bones of the snake god were discovered by the ancestors of the demon country, who took away the eyes of the snake god, thus creating the demon kingdom...

### Chapter 399 The Bone of the Giant Serpent###

"Pfft~~"

Hao Shuai, who was constantly falling, suddenly seemed to have passed through a thin layer of film. In just a moment, he knew that he had not reached the so-called imaginary space.

Because Hao Shuai discovered that his teleportation had failed!

This means that he is no longer in the earth space of the ghost blowing lamp world.

But Hao Shuai didn't panic at all. Without teleportation, his ability to travel through the world is still there. If he encounters danger, he will travel to other worlds at worst.

Hao Shuai looked around in the air, and soon found a long skeleton floating there in the void. At first glance, it looked like a spine with all ribs removed, twisted and coiled together, but if you look closely, In the past, a pair of small ribs were distributed on both sides.

On the top of the skeleton, there is a huge snake head flatly placed in the deepest part of the imaginary space.

Looking carefully, there is indeed a fist-sized hole in the middle of the giant snake's skull, which is too small compared to its entire skull.

"It's really hard to imagine how huge this giant snake is when it's alive." Hao Shuai couldn't help but sighed with his feet on the huge snake's head.

Suddenly, a phantom sprang out from the snake's head, and without Hao Shuai's time to react, it went straight through the thought power barrier and sank into his eyebrows. Hao Shuai stood there blankly with blank eyes.

……

After an unknown period of time, maybe a minute, maybe an hour, or even a day, Hao Shuai's eyes, who had been standing still, finally regained their brilliance.

He let out a breath slowly, patted his heart, and said with lingering fear: "TNN's, almost capsized in the gutter!"

It turned out that the phantom just now was the consciousness of the dead giant snake, which broke into Hao Shuai's sea of ​​consciousness and wanted to take Hao Shuai away.

Fortunately, it miscalculated Hao Shuai's spiritual power, and the two sides had a "battle" in the sea of ​​consciousness, and Hao Shuai had the last laugh in the end.

As the winner, Hao Shuai also accepted the memory in the giant snake's consciousness.

It turns out that this giant snake is called the Void Ancestor, and it comes from a race called the Void Giant Serpent in a certain cultivation world.

And this ancestor of nothingness is a top boss in the clan whose cultivation base has reached the stage of crossing the catastrophe.

It's a pity that when he crossed the catastrophe and became an immortal, because he miscalculated the power of the catastrophe, he was seriously injured by the sky thunder and was dying. When he was about to die, he resolutely mobilized the remaining power to tear open the space, Drilled in from the space crack.

Then the giant snake fell from the sky, smashed a ghost hole, and was recorded by the ancients who witnessed it all.

It's unlucky to say that the ancestor of nothingness tore apart the space in a hurry, and came to this ghost blowing lamp world with low aura, which made him unable to recover from his injuries. Instead, as time passed, his injuries gradually worsened, and he was on the verge of death.

In the end, he had no choice but to seal his soul in his third eye, causing him to fall into a deep sleep, leaving only a trace of consciousness in the corpse.

After that, the ghost cave tribe discovered the remains of the giant snake and sacrificed to it.

After knowing the whole story, Hao Shuai was a little lucky. Fortunately, the consciousness left by the ancestor of nothingness was only one-thousandth of his spiritual power, and as time passed, the consciousness became weaker and weaker.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say what the result will be this time.

After all, even if it has only one-thousandth of the strength, it is the consciousness of the boss in the tribulation stage, and it is not only Hao Shuai in the foundation stage that can withstand it.

In fact, Hao Shuai was completely overwhelmed. He didn't know the Chaos Orb hidden in the sea of ​​consciousness between his brows. It not only allows Hao Shuai to travel through the world, but also protects his soul at all times. With it, how could it be possible for Hao Shuai to be taken away by others? give it up!

Although this time almost capsized in the gutter, Hao Shuai is not without benefits.

After smashing and devouring the consciousness of the ancestor of nothingness, Hao Shuai's mental power not only improved, but also became more condensed.Moreover, he also got the coordinates of the world where the ancestor of nothingness lived.

It's a pity that Hao Shuai has no intention of going there at all. Even though he knows that world is a big world of cultivation with rich cultivation resources, Hao Shuai prefers to go to a world he is familiar with than to a world he is not familiar with.

After all, for Hao Shuai, standard operation and safe crossing are the top priorities. As for improving strength, there is plenty of time to take it slowly.

It's a pity that there is only so much information in that consciousness. Originally, Hao Shuai was thinking about whether he could have some magical skills, especially those related to space.

Hao Shuai knew that his soul was sleeping in the third eye of the ancestor of nothingness, and the third eye should be Muchen Bead, and Hao Shuai also knew where Muchen Bead was now.

"Big brother in the tribulation period, I can't beat it! Who knows how much power the ancestor of nothingness has left in his soul!" Hao Shuai sighed secretly, and decisively gave up the idea of ​​looking for Muchen Bead now.

"However, since you've come too often, can't you just return empty-handed? You should bring some special products back!" Hao Shuai looked around, and with a wave of his hand, he took the skeleton floating in the ghost void into the space.

After all, he is also a great monster in the Tribulation Period, and bones are also a rare and good material for refining weapons, so it would be a waste to put them here.

After putting away the skeleton, Hao Shuai looked at the empty ghost cave, and after finding nothing of value, he teleported back to the camp where Hu Bayi and the others were resting.

……

The next morning, Hao Shuai was the first to wake up from meditation. Looking at Hu Bayi and the others who were still asleep, knowing that they were exhausted from the journey, he did not rush to wake them up, but took out the ingredients and cooked breakfast.

After Hao Shuai finished breakfast, Hu Bayi and the others woke up smelling the aroma.

"God stick, you got up so early!" Fatty Wang unceremoniously took a bowl of breakfast and asked while eating.

"I always get up early, and it's not like you don't know about it." Hao Shuai greeted Professor Chen and the others for dinner, and replied casually.

After the whole group had breakfast, Hao Shuai led the impatient Professor Chen into the Jingjue Ancient City.

Because Hao Shuai had ruled out all the dangers in this ancient city, he felt relieved to let them investigate this ancient city by themselves.

However, Hao Shuai made it very clear that everyone only had two days, and they had to leave after two days, because the materials they brought were running out.

The main reason is that Hao Shuai is too lazy to stay in this exquisite ancient city.

With the help of Hu Bayi, Professor Chen and the others found the shrine easily, and then found the underground palace of Queen Jingjue. Unfortunately, Hao Shuai cut off all the gold, silver, jewelry and coffin inside, leaving only some murals for Chen. Teach them.

But to Professor Chen and the others, the murals in the underground palace are more attractive than those gold and silver jewels!

The archaeological team happily devoted themselves to the archaeology of the ancient city of Jingjue, and after a day of careful searching, Shirley Yang died of looking for Muchen Bead in the ancient city of Jingjue.

###Chapter 400 Return and Reentry to Yitian###

Two days passed in a flash. Under Hao Shuai's insistence, Professor Chen and the others had no choice but to take the research materials and follow Hao Shuai back on a camel.

"Professor Chen, the ancient city is here, and you remember the location. Next time, you can bring a large army to dig and study thoroughly, so don't be disheartened." Hao Shuai looked at the group unwilling to leave The archaeological team of Jingjue Ancient City comforted me.

"Yes, Professor Chen, we really have to go back, otherwise we won't have enough supplies for our return trip." Hu Bayi also explained aloud.

"I'm fine, but seeing so many exquisite ancient city cultures, I just feel uncomfortable that I can't devote myself to research immediately." Professor Chen said reluctantly, "But I also know that what you say makes sense, so I can only come later. "

"It's good that you can understand."

A group of people followed the way they came, and returned to the small town by the desert smoothly, followed by another green leather train back to the capital.

The members of the archaeological team got off the train, bid farewell to Hao Shuai and the others, and hurried back to the research institute.

It is estimated that they should rush to write a report and apply for a large-scale excavation to inspect the ancient city of Jingjue!

So far, the mission of Hao Shuai and Fatty Hu Bayi Wang has been perfectly completed. Not only did they find the Jingjue Ancient City, but they also brought Professor Chen and the others back.

After handing over the reward Shirley Yang promised to Hu Bayi, Hao Shuai also bid farewell to Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang and left the ghost blowing lamp world.
