Mortal bone

"Young Master Wuyou, this is the place."

In a room where the shop assistants of Jufeng Teahouse rested, Fang Lian'er stood at the door and pointed to the empty room, then hid behind Xu Taiping nervously.

"Miss Lian'er, you saw the clerk go in with your own eyes, and you never came out after that, right?"

Xu Taiping glanced into the room and asked Fang Lian'er at the same time.

"Yes son."

Fang Lian'er grabbed Xu Taiping's arm and nodded repeatedly.

"Then I'll go in and have a look."

Xu Taiping lightly patted Fang Lian'er's hand holding his arm, signaling her to let go.

"Young Master Wuyou, I... I'll go in together."

Fang Lian'er said boldly.

"Then you hold on to peace."

Xu Taiping took the little monkey out of his sleeve and put it in Fang Lian'er's hand.

"oh oh!"

Fang Lian'er was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and there was no fear in her eyes.

"My lord, the shop assistant who lives here is named Sun Wang, because he likes to listen to grandpa's storytelling, he always takes good care of us."

"I just happened to meet him when I went downstairs. After I heard that my grandfather was injured, I had to go downstairs with me to the inn to visit my grandfather."

"I also said that I would bring some golden sore medicine from his hometown to grandpa."

"So just let me wait at the door, and he went back to the house to get things."

"But I waited for a long time, and he didn't come out, so I opened the door to check, and found that there was no one in the room..."

When Xu Taiping searched the house, Fang Lian'er, who was following behind him, narrated the situation he encountered earlier.

"There are indeed some evil ways."

Xu Taiping nodded when he heard the words, and at the same time transmitted a message to Fairy Lingyue in his heart:

"Sister Lingyue, there is no secret door, no secret passage, no place to hide in this room, and Ping An has confirmed that Fang Lianer is not lying, so it is very likely that as we guessed, the yellow dog monster has already started playing. Hide and seek."

In the current situation, the only thing he can think of is the yellow dog demon.

"Taiping, use your talisman eye to look at the wandering souls in this house, and see how they differ from the wandering souls in our house."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this moment.

"I'll take a look."

Xu Taiping immediately injected a stream of real energy into the palm of his right hand that was engraved with runes, and then pressed his palm to his left eye.

In an instant, the image in his left eye was dyed blood red.

And in this blood-red room, a group of wandering spirits turned into ghosts, frantically biting a curled up man in the corner of the room.

This man, dressed as a shop assistant, leaned his head against the wall, pushing and shoving the evil spirits around him weakly with his hands.

"Taiping, the guy in this shop is probably not dead yet, he's just trapped in the domain enchantment of the power of the yellow dog demon, and the outside world can't detect it."

After Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue what she saw, Fairy Lingyue speculated with certainty.

"But if things go on like this, this shop assistant won't be able to hold on for long. After death, I'm afraid he will become a wandering ghost under the power of the yellow dog demon."

Seeing the store clerk's eyes becoming dull little by little, and his appearance becoming more and more similar to the ghost beside him, Xu Taiping speculated in his heart.

"Unless the yellow dog is killed, no one can save him."

Fairy Lingyue shook her head.

"My lord, what happened to your eyes?"

Seeing that Xu Taiping was covering his eyes, Fang Lian'er thought that his eyes were uncomfortable, so he stepped forward and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. The eye disease I contracted a long time ago can be cured by covering it with your hands for a while."

Xu Taiping turned his head and smiled at Fang Lian'er.

And just when he turned his head, when his left eye fell outside the door, he suddenly discovered that there was a ball of scarlet blood flowing from this room, trying to spread to another room in the corridor.

As the blood spread, the surrounding corridors also began to turn blood-red, and it seemed like two worlds from the normal corridor on the other side.

"Sister Lingyue, it seems that the yellow dog is not able to hide and seek with everyone in the teahouse at the beginning, he has to accumulate strength slowly."

Seeing the scarlet blood slowly flowing into the clerk's room, Xu Taiping immediately voiced his speculation to Fairy Lingyue.

"what?"

Fairy Lingyue, who didn't know what Xu Taiping saw, was at a loss.

So Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue what he saw in his left eye just now.

"But even so, there is not much time left for you in Taiping. You have to refine the Dragon Pagoda into a magic weapon of life before the blood of the devil flows all over the teahouse."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.

"Now it seems that we can only use a Luminous Demon Blood Candle."

Xu Taiping nodded.

The Luminous Demon Blood Candle is a treasure that Diguo planted in the Blood Rain Forest last time, and there are three in total.

According to legend, it was made of the blood of the ancient demon god Liuguang. After lighting it, the time will stay still, ten years under the candlelight, and one day outside the candlelight.

And the longest time a blood candle can burn is seven days from the outside world. "

That is to say, after lighting a light-holding magic blood candle, even if Xu Taiping practiced under the candlelight for 70 years, the outside world only spent seven days.

Therefore, this Luminous Demon Blood Candle is the most precious treasure in Xu Taiping's body, bar none.

After all, it is gone after burning, and there is no second copy in the world.

……

"Although the light candle is very precious, if you can refine the Sleepy Dragon Pagoda in advance, it will not only help you tide over the current predicament, but also be of great benefit to you along the way."

"Because the most powerful part of this Dragon Pagoda is its defensive power. Once you refine it into a natal magic weapon, your own defensive power will most likely also increase."

"It's like when you obtained the power of lightning after refining the Shentu Bow."

Back in the guest room, Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping about the benefits of refining the Dragon Pagoda.

After thinking about it, she had to admit that the Devil Emperor Yangling had a longer-term perspective than her.

"Now it seems that the advantages of refining the Dragon Pagoda in advance really outweigh the disadvantages."

Xu Taiping nodded.

While he was speaking, he had already taken out a Luminous Demon Blood Candle.

"The most regrettable thing this time is that you can't practice under this demonic blood candle because you have the soul imprints of the eight demon emperors on your body. .”

Looking at the blood-red candle that Xu Taiping put on the table, Fairy Lingyue said with regret in her eyes.

Because of the soul seal of the eight demon emperors, let alone cultivation, Xu Taiping would have found it very difficult to survive if it wasn't for the ghost of the knife who had a few mouthfuls of hidden immortal brew.

And those few sips of Tibetan Immortal Brew can help him last for three to five years at most, and it is impossible to practice for 70 years under this devil's blood candle.

But fortunately, when refining the natal immortal weapon, it only needs to consume a little power of the soul and a lot of time.

So this is why Di Yang specially emphasized that he was asked to use the Xuanyuan avatar to refine the Sleepy Dragon Pagoda.

"It's okay, Miss Lingyue."

Xu Taiping separated a Xuanyuan avatar, lit the magic blood candle with the real fire on his fingertips, then looked at Fairy Lingyue with a smile and continued:

"I still have two magic blood candles left."

"After breaking through the Transformation Realm, if I really encounter a strong enemy, I can light all these two magic blood candles and retreat for 140 years in one go."
