The next morning.

Bai Ran took Ye Jiuqiu and gathered with the hunting party at the exit of the valley of the Yin Corpse Sect.

When Ye Jiuqiu came to the Yin Corpse Sect, he was in a coma, so he didn't know where the exit was.It was the first time he had seen this place soberly.The exit is a tunnel at the bottom of the huge mountain. It is dark and quiet inside, like a big mouth that chooses people and devours them, allowing all the lives that step in to enter and never return.

When he and Bai Ran arrived here, there were already dozens of people here.

"It doesn't mean that all the newly promoted inner disciples participated this time, why are there so many people?" Ye Jiuqiu approached Bai Ran and asked in a low voice.He thought that there were only a few new inner disciples.

Bai Ran also replied in a low voice: "When the hunting comes back, the number will decrease. There are no more than ten inner disciples, and they can only be regarded as candidates now. Only those who survived and hunted their prey can enter the inner sect. door, they can refine their own corpses."

A chill suddenly rose on Ye Jiuqiu's tailbone. What do you mean the number of people will decrease after hunting?He took a closer look at the group of people here, and found that many of them were just teenagers about his size, with youthful faces but sharp and deep eyes.They also carried their own coffins, but there were no corpse puppets inside, so they could only be used as ordinary magic weapons.When they come back, they will use these coffins to bring their trophies back.

It seems that they expected the scene of the return of the harvest. No matter how old these teenagers are, their faces unconsciously reveal the excitement of eagerness to try and the determination to win.

They seemed not afraid of the upcoming life-and-death struggle, but looked forward to it.

I really want to die and have to catch up!Ye Jiuqiu couldn't stand it, he didn't understand the way of the Infernal Corpse Sect, just like other members of the Infernal Corpse Sect didn't understand him.Their brain circuits are never on the same channel.

Soon, people arrived one after another.

Ye Jiuqiu even saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

"See you, He Shan, why are you here?" He leaned over in surprise.

The inner disciple's promotion test, what did He Shan see this direct disciple intervene in?

Seeing a person occupying a field, He Shan stood silently.Surrounded by his juniors, who knew his temper well, they all wisely didn't bother him, unlike Bai Ran's side, where a group of people talked and laughed around Yan Yan, it was extremely lively.

But who knew that Ye Jiuqiu was not by Bai Ran's side to join in the fun, but came to harass him instead.

Does this guy think their relationship has improved?He Shanjian glanced at Ye Jiuqiu, but it was just a deal, what was this man doing with that friendly face!

He thought so, but he gave the answer in a straightforward manner: "The suzerain has an order to send his own disciples to accompany him for protection. I was selected." He said, and took another deep look Ye Jiuqiu, since the inner sect trial is said to be a trial, how can there be any talk of protection?They have already taken action to protect them, so what else is there to try!I have never done this kind of nonsense before.This protection, maybe it's just for Ye Jiuqiu.

Thinking that I just took the last piece of material I needed yesterday, and that today I should have retreated to refine the corpse, but now because of Ye Jiuqiu, I have to put the plan on hold, He Shanjian's face darkened completely, and he glared at The culprit in front of me, I thought, you guys dare to come in front of me!

Ye Jiuqiu was stared inexplicably, thinking that He Shan saw this person as more fickle than the little girl in the general's mansion next door to his house.

Just as the two of them were staring at each other strangely, they suddenly heard voices coming from all around in unison: "Greetings, Elder Feng."

Master is here?

Ye Jiuqiu turned his head quickly, looked around, and caught Feng Yushu's black robe not far away.Clothed in black, with black hair and snow skin, the strong visual gap left this slender figure deeply imprinted on people's hearts, as if it would still be unforgettable after a long time.But his expression was almost indifferent, as if there was no fairy in the world, and the wind would take away all traces of him, making it impossible for people to remember.

Ye Jiuqiu was almost stunned, not to mention the other people who had almost never met Feng Yushu.

"Everyone is here?" Feng Yushu looked at the crowd indifferently, paused on Ye Jiuqiu, and said lightly, "Ye Jiuqiu, come to me."

"..." Ye Jiuqiu was immediately under the spotlight of everyone, shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment, and ran behind Feng Yushu in small steps, acting like I was very good.

Bai Ran also stood behind Feng Yushu, and explained to him in a low voice: "The leader this time is Elder Feng."

Is it Master?Ye Jiuqiu frowned. He had heard that he was another elder. Why did he become a master now?He suddenly thought of what Bai Ran had told him, that his master was a talented disciple cultivated by the Qingluo Sect with all his strength before, but later defected to the Yin Corpse Sect for unknown reasons.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Feng Yushu's back worriedly. This trip is to deal with Qing Luozong. Master...is it okay?

To be able to betray a sect to the point of death, something bad must have happened in the Qing Luo Sect.Ye Jiuqiu's brain was wide open for a moment, and his nose felt sour at the thought.

Besides, Master suddenly joined, could it be because he also wants to go this time?Ye Jiuqiu had secretly complained about why his master had asked him to go by name, but now there was only tears in his heart.For him, Master is willing to face the unbearable past!

Bai Ran glanced at Ye Jiuqiu's face that was about to cry suddenly in surprise, and the corners of his mouth twitched. How did Elder Feng's team deal such a big blow to Ye Jiuqiu?What did Elder Feng do to Ye Jiuqiu?

"Set off."

Gathering all the teams, Feng Yushu took the lead and walked towards the tunnel.

Flying over the edge of the Infernal Corpse Valley is forbidden, and the only way to go out is through this tunnel.This tunnel is naturally not an ordinary tunnel. When foreign enemies invade, it is definitely a bottomless pit that devours life, but when our own people pass through, it is nothing but darker and colder.

Ye Jiuqiu was still afraid of such a simple tunnel.

Cultivators are also invisible in the dark, unless the eyes have practiced some spiritual formula.But the monk has a keen sense of spirituality, and he can also walk on the ground in the dark.

But the darkness around him, coupled with the coldness soaking into his soul, still made Ye Jiuqiu shiver uncontrollably.

The coldness of the tunnel is not the natural coldness, but the yin, resentment and fierceness after the death of many lives.For the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect, these were as common as breathing, but for Ye Jiuqiu, they were absolutely unbearable mentally.

He was dizzy and his ears were ringing, and there seemed to be countless ghosts roaring in his mind, claiming his life.

Cold sweat quickly soaked down his back, and the sweat soaked the lining of his clothes.He was so frightened that he couldn't help it, and raised his hand to grab Feng Yushu's clothes.Among these people, whether it's because of aura or strength, Feng Yushu is the one who can give him the most sense of security.

But he forgot that Feng Yushu was also carrying the coffin.

So his hands didn't grab the soft sleeves as he wished, but instead pressed against the hard and cold coffin surface.There are deep and shallow delicate patterns under the fingertips, and Ye Jiuqiu seems to be able to see the flowers, birds, insects and fish carved on this bronze coffin in the dark, such beautiful and solemn carvings, once you see them, you will never forget them again.

He should have been frightened by the touch of the coffin and retracted his hand, but for some reason, the moment his fingers touched the bronze coffin, apart from the initial shock in his heart, what followed was a comfortable unwillingness to let go a feeling of.The comforting warmth is transmitted from the bronze coffin to the body through the fingertips, wrapping the whole body, and no longer feel the cold around.

Thank you Master.Ye Jiuqiu quietly raised the corners of her lips, and finally she was able to walk calmly.

What he didn't know was that in the black coffin behind him, the dead corpse suddenly opened its eyes when he put the bronze coffin on his hands.Those pitch-black eyes were extremely deep, looking straight ahead, as if they could see through all obstacles and see everything inside the bronze coffin.

"Uncle Banyue..." He only called out in a low voice.Then he raised his hand and moved the space inside the coffin. It is not so much a change of appearance, but rather an obliteration of the external cover, revealing a boundless empty and lonely dark space. There is no sky above and no land below. In the middle of the sky, one could vaguely hear the loud rumbling noise coming from the abyss below, dull and loud.

He pinched the formula with his hand, and when he drew it into the void, he could see a pale yellow phantom coming from below, circling around his hand a few times.He raised his hand and pointed again, and the phantom came out of the black coffin in the direction he pointed, passed through Ye Jiuqiu's body, arms, fingertips, and finally entered the bronze coffin, disappearing on the body of the puppet inside the coffin.

The yellow phantoms flowed continuously, like a continuous flow of water, passing from the black coffin to the bronze coffin through the medium of Ye Jiuqiu.

During the whole process, not to mention Ye Jiuqiu, even Feng Yushu didn't find out.

After about a quarter of an hour, a group of people walked out of the tunnel.

The moment Ye Jiuqiu stepped out of the tunnel, he involuntarily squinted his eyes—the sun was so dazzling!

But, it's also warm.

Almost as soon as his eyes adapted to the outside light, he couldn't wait to open his eyes and look around. The trees are towering, the grass is luxuriant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It's been a long time. Qi and death are all introduced into the sect, so the surrounding area of ​​the sect is extremely vigorous." Bai Ran explained leisurely beside him, but when he saw Ye Jiuqiu's hand still on the bronze coffin, his expression changed suddenly, He quickly pulled Ye Jiuqiu's hand away.

What's wrong?Ye Jiuqiu asked him with his eyes, he didn't think Master would be so stingy and wouldn't let him touch it.

Bai Ran glanced at Feng Yushu, and then said: "Jiuqiu, remember, you can't touch other people's coffins and corpse puppets without protection."

Ye Jiuqiu was frightened by his cautious tone, and foolishly stretched out his hand to show him: "What should I do? I touched it just now."

Bai Ran laughed: "It doesn't matter just now, Elder Feng didn't set a restriction on the coffin, you are lucky. But—" he changed his tone, put away his smile and said seriously, "It might be the case of other people's coffins. Those who set restrictions There are all kinds of insidious and weird traps. You will not always be as lucky as you are today, and others will not be as disdainful of tricks as Elder Feng. If you meet someone who is cruel, your soul You can't keep it."

Everyone in the cultivation world believes that after death, the soul will enter reincarnation.In a short time after death, monks above the Nascent Soul stage can be reborn with a powerful soul capture, while monks below the Nascent Soul stage, or monks who failed to capture their homes, their souls will enter reincarnation.

But occasionally, there will be a time when the body dies and the soul disappears, leaving no trace in the world.That is what monks fear more than death.

"When you need to touch these things, remember to wrap your hands with spiritual power to test them. It would be even better to have special magic weapons to break the restrictions."

Ye Jiuqiu nodded receptively, thinking that his fear of the weakness of coffin corpses still helped him.He has always stayed away from other people's coffins.He curled up the corners of his lips triumphantly, that's the reason.

Bai Ran watched his expression change with interest, and when it was almost time, he coughed lightly, interrupting Ye Jiuqiu's inner world: "Jiuqiu, it's time to go."
