The corner of the magic path was dug by me [Rebirth]

A large scorched black hole was burned in the ghoul's chest and it did not collapse, as if it was not a husk propped up by corpse insects.

Lu Ningchu heaved a sigh of relief.

But watching Du Yun and others bury the stumps of those guards, he still felt a kind of indescribable weirdness.

According to Du Yun and others, these guards have become like this, and taking them back will only increase the sadness. It is better to bury them here and just bring back the news of the murder.

——If they really cared so much about ordinary people, they shouldn't have brought these guards here in the first place.Moreover, the excited looks of these guards when they set off were definitely not voluntary sacrifices after learning of the danger, but were coaxed.

The way Du Yun and others are acting now is almost as if they are deliberately acting for someone to see.

But he and Long Yuan were not exposed in front of these people, and there were no other people around.

"Senior Brother Du, the ghoul is dead, but what should we do with the miasma here?"

Du Yun put the remains of the ghoul into a sack and put it in the magic weapon for storage—to prove that the ghoul was indeed eliminated, evidence is naturally needed.Then he patted the hem of his clothes, got up and said: "Ordinary people can't enter such a deep place, and the miasma comes with the ghoul. Now that the ghoul is dead, the miasma will dissipate in a few days."

"Then can we go back?"

Du Yun shook his head: "We still have to find the lair of this ghoul. Such a powerful ghoul has never existed before. If it is not caused by coincidence, but because some bad changes happened to the place where its bones are buried, It has become a special place for gathering Yin, and there may be new evil spirits appearing in the future."

"But how do we find it? We don't have any clues. Even if there is a gossip mirror to guide the way, it won't be easy to find."

"Stupid!" Someone rushed ahead of Du Yun, "This ghoul has no brains, and the direction it came from is probably where its lair is."

Du Yun smiled, and continued: "The ghoul killed so many people before and didn't see the bones. It probably dragged all the stumps back to their lair. If I'm not wrong, the miasma should come from the rotting corpses. If you look for the place where the miasma is thickest, you will find the ghoul's lair."

Du Yun and his entourage set out to find the ghoul's lair. Among them were Taoist cultivators who were good at geomantic omen, but they were not affected by the miasma and would not lose their way.

Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan quietly followed behind.

"It doesn't seem to be a problem." Although he said this, Lu Ningchu's expression was the opposite, his brows were still furrowed, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Apart from "possibly killing a few guards", it is really hard to see that Du Yun and his party have any other problems, but he still feels that there is something weird about it.Moreover, those guards died at the hands of ghouls, not Du Yun and others, and there is no way to investigate them.

"Huh?" Lu Ningchu turned his head to look at Long Yuan when his cheek was poked suddenly.

Long Yuan withdrew his fingers, a smile flickered in his eyes, the childish boyish face with slightly puffed cheeks due to anger was too cute.

"If you doubt it, then keep staring at them. If there is a problem, they will show their feet sooner or later."

"Ah."

Long Yuan was about to put his hand down, but was suddenly held by Lu Ningchu.

"Be careful, don't keep deserting."

The angry complaint made Long Yuan's eyes smile again, he turned against the guest and clasped Lu Ningchu's palm: "Got it."

The soft tone made Lu Ningchu couldn't help but glared at him again, and then said: "Do you think they found us? I always feel like they were acting just now."

In terms of realm, it is absolutely impossible for Du Yun and his party to discover them.But before, these people didn't care about the safety of the guards at all, and the thoughtfulness later came too suddenly.He really couldn't think of any motives for these people to act so hypocritically, other than deliberately acting for "others" to watch, in an attempt to deceive others.

"It's really suspicious." Du Yun stopped to correct his direction as soon as he couldn't take two steps, Long Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, "We lost our way in the miasma, but we found them when Du Yun defeated the ghouls. It's a coincidence."

Lu Ningchu pondered for a moment: "If Du Yun and others deliberately lured us there, then their hypocrisy later on would also make sense."

"But," Lu Ningchu frowned, "how did they find us? At least they didn't find out before entering the miasma. The miasma is controlled by ghouls, so it couldn't be the ghouls who told them, right? "

"Perhaps it was the abnormal behavior of the ghouls after they noticed us, which made these people guess that they might be being followed."

Although it makes sense, it is just a guess after all, and the tracking has to continue.

The surrounding miasma became more and more dense. After walking and stopping for a while, Du Yun and his party finally found a place.

The lair of the Nascent Soul ghoul is in a hidden cave.Some monks don't like to gather with others, so they will build a cave to practice alone in the deep mountains and old forests. In the end, either because they have gone mad, or because they have reached the end of their lives and are too late to break through, they sit silently in the cave.

Collapsed boulders are scattered around the entrance of the cave, which shows that great changes have indeed taken place here.Between the stacked boulders, there is a passage opened by the Nascent Soul Corpse, and you can enter the depths by following it.

Outside the entrance of the boulder passage, one could smell the faint smell of blood, and it became more pungent after entering the cave.When the space ahead suddenly opened up, the smell of blood was already unbearably strong.Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan used the qi pill to maintain their breathing, so naturally they didn't feel anything, but Du Yun and his party, who used the detoxification pill to deal with the miasma, tightly covered their mouths and noses.

The miasma in the cave is indeed thicker than the outside world, and even with lighting that can disperse the miasma, it can only illuminate a limited area.When everyone walked to the end of the cave, they only knew that there was a cave in front of them, but they couldn't see the scene in the cave clearly.

"Ah!" The female cultivators in Du Yun's party suddenly screamed.

The gloomy environment is already easy to make people nervous, and just now someone even asked if there would be other ghouls, and the sudden screams naturally startled everyone.They quickly looked at the female cultivator, and they were unavoidably dissatisfied when they didn't find any danger.

"Why are you so surprised?"

The female nun was crying and didn't dare to move: "I seem to have stepped on something."

Only then did everyone notice the female cultivator's feet.

Du Yun's face changed, and he stepped forward to help the nun go away from where she was, before comforting him, "It's just a piece of intestine."

A piece of intestine is of course not dangerous, but seeing such a thing is always not a good mood.

This kind of thing appeared before entering the cave, and there was a strong bloody smell coming out continuously, so Du Yun and others naturally didn't dare to go in blindly.Even if they are not afraid, no one wants to bump into something messy next to them.

Du Yun and the others blew for a long time with spells, before finally blowing away the miasma in the cave to the extent that it would not obstruct the line of sight.

The lighting instrument flew into the cave, illuminating the scene inside.

After seeing it clearly, Du Yun and the others froze for a moment before moving forward again hesitantly.

In the center of the cave was a pool of blood with a radius of three feet. The pool of blood soaked the crumbling corpses, and splashes of blood and residual limbs could be seen everywhere on the surrounding ground.

—It was a hellish scene.

"This is..." Du Yun stared at a corpse soaked in the pool of blood, "The son of the city lord."

Although there was little hope, everyone had seen the portraits of the missing before setting off.Others also recognized several other corpses, and then someone said in doubt: "The number is not right."

Du Yun glanced at him: "How do you think this pool of blood came about?"

The person who asked the question was stunned, and looked at the calm bloody water.

Those who can't be found are probably all under this bloody water.

Daoxiu had the strongest ability to accept, and after enduring the nausea he saw suddenly, he looked around carefully.After looking around the entire cave, he walked up to Du Yun and explained: "There should have been earthquakes here before. After the terrain changed, this cave that was supposed to be a place of geomantic omen has become a place for gathering shade. It turned the corpse of Senior Nascent Soul into a ghoul."

He glanced at the blood pool: "This place is constantly breeding evil spirits, so we can't keep them."

"Then blow it up."

Under the command of Daoxiu, everyone prepared to blow up the cave.As for the remains of the city lord's son and others, because they were all in miserable shape, they didn't intend to bring them back, but decided to blow them up together.

"Brother," someone asked Daoxiu, "what is this blood pool for?"

"Ghouls, this kind of evil, can strengthen themselves by devouring living people and corpses. It has captured so many people, so it can only think of other ways if it is too late to eat."

"Hey——" The person who asked the question suddenly showed a disgusted look.

Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan left the cave first.

After Du Yun and others escaped far away, the lair of the Nascent Soul ghoul collapsed with a loud noise.

Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan followed Du Yun and others out of the miasma area and returned to Luo'an City.

When the people in Luo'an City heard that Du Yun and others had eliminated the ghoul and blew up the ghoul's lair, they cheered loudly.The crowd was crowded and crowded, and Du Yun and his party spent a lot of effort before getting into the carriage of the city lord's mansion.The carriage drove away, and the crowd chased after it for a long time.

——everything seems to be going well.

When approaching Luo'an City, Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan did not continue to follow, but entered the city first.When Du Yun and others entered the city, they had already sat down in a private room facing the street.

There is still noise in the streets, and the streets and alleys are filled with joy.

However, Lu Ningchu stared down at the teacup in his hand, with a serious look on his mind.

Long Yuan leaned forward and approached him, touched his face and said, "I still think there is something wrong with those people?"

Lu Ningchu looked up at him, but didn't speak.

Long Yuan had no choice but to persuade: "We have seen the subsequent actions of those people. There is indeed no problem. It can even be said that they handled it very well, and they have not missed every aspect. It is indeed suspicious that they brought the guards with them, but there is no problem." It may not be that they killed the guards."

"Furthermore," Long Yuan sighed, "Now that they have become heroes, even if we express our doubts, these people who are cheering and celebrating will consciously whitewash the death of those guards as a necessary sacrifice."

It's cruel, but that's how human nature is.In the face of danger, for most people, as long as they are not the ones who die, as long as they are safe, it doesn't matter how many people die.

What's more, those who died were the guards who had assumed the responsibility of protecting the people in the city.

"I know." Lu Ningchu murmured, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is not what I care about now."

Du Yun and others have done so perfectly, what else can he doubt.

Is it possible to suspect that they made a scene with the ghoul?

The wounds on Du Yun and the others and the traces of fighting around them were indeed at the level of Nascent Soul's strength.The flames ignited on the spikes could not be faked. The ghoul was only burned with a big hole but not turned into ashes, which was enough to prove that the corpse was indeed of Nascent Soul strength.

The Nascent Soul ghoul is indeed dead, and the ghoul's lair is indeed blown up. How could a few Golden Elixirs and Foundation Establishment be willing to pay such a cost.

"Then what are you thinking?" Because of annoyance, Lu Ningchu's face bulged slightly again, and Long Yuan couldn't help pinching it twice.

Lu Ningchu looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Long Yuan teased him: "You can't even tell me?"

Lu Ningchu pursed his lips, and finally said, "Do you think that pool of blood is a bit like a sea of ​​blood?"

The original Buddha's blood sea should be like that blood pool, with countless corpses soaked in boundless blood.

It can be seen from Long Yuan's stupefied appearance that he did not connect the two before.

However, for some reason, when he saw the blood pool for the first time, he thought of the Buddha's Blood Sea, and even sketched the original appearance of the Buddha's Blood Sea in his mind.
