Chapter 906: Past Events
Biyou Immortal Grass, no grade or rank.
Ordinary cultivators don't know Biyou Immortal Grass at all. Even spiritual farmers who are good at growing spiritual herbs or alchemists who study the way of alchemy don't know about it.
Occasionally, there are cultivators who know Biyou Immortal Grass, but they only know its name, not its true nature.
The ancestors of the Bai family have a very old ancient book. At that time, Bai Caiwei, who was young and ignorant, saw the soul-devouring poison from that ancient book.
As a result, there are a few words about Biyou Immortal Grass.
It's a pity that Bai Caiwei searched the entire Bai family secret library, but couldn't find a single Biyou Immortal Grass. Finally, she had no choice but to find the Nongjialiu.
It was for this reason that Bai Caiwei met Li Mudao.
Through Li Mudao's relationship, Bai Caiwei luckily found a seed of Biyou Immortal Grass in the secret library of the Nongjialiu. But even the old ancestor of the Nongjialiu, Yuchu, didn't know the origin of this thing, so it didn't attract enough attention and it was lost.
After that, there were all kinds of causes and effects of the soul-devouring poison...
After listening to Bai Caiwei's statement mixed with sadness and nostalgia, Xiao Mian looked at the green travel fairy grass lying in the stone box, frowning and silent.
"May I ask Aunt Bai: If the green travel fairy grass is burned alive, what effect will it have?"
"Burning? You must know that few people know about this green travel fairy grass, and even fewer people can understand its effects and characteristics. The ancient book that my Bai family inherited was originally a fragment, and many contents were incomplete. I had to test the poison myself and figured out the method of refining the soul-devouring poison, but I dare not say that it is definitely correct. As for the green travel fairy grass, I only know a little bit... But according to my calculation: if the green travel fairy grass is burned alive, it may alleviate the erosion of the soul by the soul-devouring poison!"
Bai Caiwei's words made Xiao Mian, who was originally frowning, suddenly shocked.
Seeing Bai Caiwei's depressed expression, Xiao Mian knew that things might not be that simple...
Sure enough, soon, Bai Caiwei changed the subject.
"But this approach is nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst!"
It turned out that as the main material for refining the soul-devouring poison, the green smoke formed after the burning of the Biluo Immortal Grass has a strong temptation to the soul-devouring poison that has been planted in the body of the cultivator. Those soul-devouring poisons are busy devouring the smoke formed by the burning of the Biyou Immortal Grass, and they will relax their control over the cultivator, and Duanmu Feng will fall into a coma.
However, once those soul-devouring poisons that have entered the body get the smoke of the Biyou Immortal Grass, they will become stronger and stronger, and then accelerate the erosion of Duanmu Feng's soul.
This is why Bai Caiwei called it "drinking poison to quench thirst"...
But it is obvious that the woman in white - Duanmu Feng's Taoist partner, did not know!
Thinking deeper, since the so-called "old friend" of the white-clothed woman has the Biyou Immortal Grass and knows the characteristics of the Biyou Immortal Grass, how could he not know about this?
He gave the Biyou Immortal Grass to the white-clothed woman, but did not tell her the hidden dangers of using the Biyou Immortal Grass. The so-called "old friend" is probably not just an old friend!
Could it be that the man's purpose is also for the Life and Death Sword Pill of the King Kong Sword Ape lineage! ?
Thinking of this, although Xiao Mian has no evidence to prove this matter, the Biyou Immortal Grass alone is only three-tenths suspicious, but he is already seven-tenths sure in his heart - Xiao Mian has always been willing to speculate about others with the greatest malice!
However, since that person dared to plot against the already transformed King Kong Sword Ape Duanmu Feng, he must be an old ancestor cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm. In addition, he is far-sighted and obviously determined to get Duanmu Feng's Life and Death Sword Pill. How could Xiao Mian easily get involved?
After all, Xiao Mian and Duanmu Feng's family of three are just casual friends.
If that person really got what he wanted, murdered Duanmu Feng, and got Duanmu Feng's Life and Death Sword Pill, it can only mean that Duanmu Feng's skills are inferior to others.
This is how the cultivation world is, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the fittest survive.
If it weren't for Yin Jiansheng, Xiao Mian would definitely stand by and watch, and would not make any trouble.
However, the matter involved the Vajra Sword Ape, the Life and Death Sword Pill, and even more so the Green Traveling Immortal Grass and the Soul Devouring Poison. After thinking about it, Xiao Mian had already made a decision.
Early the next morning, Xiao Mian took the initiative to visit Duanmu Feng.
At this time, Duanmu Feng had regained his elegant demeanor of the day, but when Xiao Mian looked at him carefully, he felt that Duanmu Feng's complexion was not good.
No wonder!
Duanmu Feng had been possessed by the devil before, which had already seriously damaged his vitality. In the dark, there was also the Soul Devouring Poison entanglement. If he was still glowing, that would be a ghost!
It was just some polite words. After a few words, Xiao Mian found an opportunity to change the topic to the Biyou Immortal Grass and the mysterious old friend.
"Are you talking about my senior brother?"
"Senior's senior brother? Why? Could it be that the one who gave the senior such a magical item as the Biyou Immortal Grass is also a transformed Vajra Sword Ape senior?"
"That's not the case!" Shaking his head, Duanmu Feng whispered with some nostalgia: "Senior brother is a human cultivator! Speaking of which, my Duanmu family and his Long family are old friends..."
It turned out that Duanmu Feng's father, Duanmu Cang, was a Vajra Sword Ape who cultivated to the eighth-level demon beast realm. He integrated the sword of life and the sword of death. His strength was so strong that even the high-level Yuanying cultivators among humans could not defeat him.
Thousands of years ago, Duanmu Cang also set off a bloody storm in the Yin Shang realm.
Because the King Kong Sword Ape is a descendant of the Sword Ape, its combat power and destructive power are invincible in the same level, and even the Thunder Palace cannot completely kill it.
In the end, it attracted the attention of the nine holy places.
In a shocking battle, Duanmu Cang was outnumbered and fought his way out of the siege.
Although Duanmu Cang was lucky enough to survive, he was also exhausted. At this time, Duanmu Cang encountered the descendant of the holy land!
"The descendant of the holy land is the ancestor of the Long family. Not only did he not take advantage of the situation to kill my father, but he took good care of my father and made him recover from his injuries!"
"..., the descendant of the holy land is really kind-hearted!"
"Who said it wasn't! The ancestor of the Long family was born in the 'Valley of Life and Death', one of the nine holy lands, and specialized in the way of resurrection. It was through this incident that my father had a great enlightenment, abandoned his prejudice and hostility towards humans, and turned to seclusion in the mountains. In the end, he rescued Chaoge City during the previous catastrophe..., Alas!" With a sigh, Duanmu Feng got back to the point: "My eldest brother is the only one who entered my father's room. Disciple!"
"So that's it! So that senior is also a descendant of the Holy Land?"
"That's not the case! Back then, the ancestor of the Long family rashly treated my father, and the Nine Holy Lands were quite unhappy. The Valley of Life and Death even expelled him from the sect. It is said that he passed away not long after. My father felt guilty and carefully trained the senior brother and taught him the sword art of my Vajra Sword Ape lineage. However, the senior brother is not from my Sword Ape lineage, and some magical powers cannot be understood after all. However, the senior brother is talented and has his own unique way. He is only one step away from becoming a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Hearing this, Xiao Mian felt relieved, but then tensed again.
What was relaxing was that the senior brother seemed to be a lone man, and what was tense was that the other party's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Isn't that the same realm as the scholar at the beginning?
In Xiao Mian's mind, the scholar has always been an unsurpassed senior master.
I never thought that one day, Xiao Mian would actually compete with such senior masters who were on the same level as scholars...
Through a casual chat with Duanmu Feng, Xiao Mian had almost confirmed his suspicions.
The senior brother of the Long family must be harboring evil intentions!
There could be many reasons.
For example, he was angry that his father was expelled from the Valley of Life and Death because of Duanmu Cang, otherwise why would that person be stranded outside?
Another example is that because of his own qualifications, he could not comprehend the sword skills of the King Kong Sword Ape, and turned to get Duanmu Feng's sword pill to go further!
Xiao Mian didn't care what the other party's reasons were, and he couldn't care.
Seeing Duanmu Feng's admiration when he talked about the senior brother, Xiao Mian swallowed the words that were on his lips.
If Xiao Mian did that thing of talking about deep things, Duanmu Feng might suddenly hurt people again!
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Mian said goodbye and left.
But outside the courtyard, he met the woman in white.
Xiao Mian was stunned. Seeing that the other party said nothing, nodded to him and turned away, Xiao Mian focused his eyes and followed her.
Not long after, on the top of the mountains, the two faced each other.
"Big sister..."
"I take my husband's surname, Duanmu, and my given name is Lan."
"So it's Big sister Duanmu! I wonder why you called me here?"
"..., although your conversation with my husband was vague, it always involved Senior Brother Long. What's the matter?"
"This..., Big sister Duanmu! Although you and Senior Duanmu are a pair of immortal lovers, you are inseparable, but it's not good to have ears through the wall?"
"Hmph! What do you know?" Duanmu Lan looked cold, staring at Xiao Mian, and suddenly sighed leisurely: "Duanmu's consciousness can no longer leave his body!"
"What!?"
Xiao Mian was shocked when he heard this, how could he care about making jokes?
It's no wonder that Xiao Mian lost his composure. It was just a simple sentence from Duanmu Lan, but the information contained was enough to make Xiao Mian dumbfounded.
The consciousness cannot leave the body. If it is not sealed by a top master like Shancai Tongzun, there is only one possibility - the cultivator's soul is in danger!
Once the soul is destroyed, the cultivator is a walking corpse.
After a change of mind, Xiao Mian realized why Duanmu Feng did not show any feeling of being spied on when he talked to him before.
It turned out that Duanmu Feng had lost the instinct to release his consciousness!
Thinking deeper, if Duanmu Feng really has the soul-eating poison in his body, then the soul-eating poison in his body must have penetrated into his bones.
Even compared with Bai Caiwei that day, I am afraid it is not optimistic!
Bai Caiwei that day was a poison master, and she had studied the method of refining the soul-eating poison. She was also a spirit of ten thousand poisons. This was why she could persist under the torture of the soul-eating poison. Now Duanmu Feng, unknowingly, allowed the soul-eating poison to erode his soul. It can be said that it is more difficult to recover than Bai Caiwei back then.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian looked at Duanmu Lan opposite him, thinking.
"I won't play tricks with you! It seems that you know the Biyou Immortal Grass, and after getting the Biyou Immortal Grass, you come to ask about everything about Senior Brother Long. Let me ask you: But what's wrong with this Biyou Immortal Grass? Or is Senior Brother Long..."
Halfway through his words, Duanmu Lan kept silent, but just stared at Xiao Mian coldly.
