You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

Time flies, and it passes by in a flash.

The grass is turning greener, and more than three months have passed since the New Year.

Outside a barren mountain, a clinking sound came from a distance. It was a donkey, carrying a young man in a white robe and brocade clothes on its back. The young man was sleeping soundly on the donkey's back.

The boy didn't seem to care about the safety of this trip.

After a long time, the boy opened his eyes, revealing glass-like pupils. He patted the donkey and signaled it to stop.

He jumped off the donkey, looked around, and stretched lazily, feeling very happy.

This person was Chang Qing. Looking at the barren mountains, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "We are finally here."

Originally, Changqing could have come quickly, but when he thought that after completing this matter, he would have to concentrate on practicing, and might never have the chance to experience the human world again, he decided to just let everything go with the flow.

Walk and stop, chat with passers-by, drink with strangers, talk about family and national affairs, taste hundreds of kinds of life, look at famous sights, and listen to stories and legends.

When interacting with people, an indescribable feeling filled Changqing's body. It was very strange, but quite comfortable. His mind also became clear. Changqing felt as if something was slowly being filled.

And it seems that one can open up and complete the twelve meridians at any time according to one's mood.

Unfortunately, Changqing did not do so, because the spiritual energy was thin and the spiritual power in his meridians had to be kept in reserve for emergencies. Changqing was not in a hurry and just let everything take its course.

While chewing on dry food, Changqing thought about the specific location of the cave in his mind. After a short rest, he looked at the donkey nibbling on the tender green grass on the roadside. He smiled, took down his luggage, and walked towards a canyon in the barren mountains.

As for the donkey, it was given freedom.

The closer Chang Qing got to the canyon, the less vegetation he noticed. There was also a smell of brutality in the air. It seemed as if the owner of this smell only knew how to kill. Chang Qing couldn't help but become cautious, letting go of all his senses and becoming alert.

As we approached the edge of the canyon, the violent atmosphere in the air became more obvious, making people feel restless. The valley was filled with fog, and we couldn't see the bottom. Everything felt wrong.

"Go check it out quickly, no, run away early."

Changqing laid out a plan and didn't think any more. He used his spiritual energy to lift himself up, flew to the center of the canyon, and quickly observed both sides of the canyon.

After a while, Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at a rock that seemed to be integrated with the surrounding rocks.

Chang Qing smiled slightly. This kind of sleight of hand was only useful to mortals, because the rock was oozing with blood-colored spiritual energy, which could be felt even without spiritual eyes.

Changqing flew down quickly. After all, flying was too strenuous for someone at the Tuojing realm. He couldn't hold on for long. With his spiritual power covering his fist, he smashed the rock into pieces with one punch.

The cave was very dark. There was a strong smell of blood, accompanied by the echo of dripping water, which was a bit scary.

He took out a torch from the bag and lit it with his spiritual energy. The flames reflected on the wall of the cave, making Changqing feel much better.

You mean using spiritual eyes?!

What spiritual eyes! You don't know how to manage the household at all. Spiritual power is not cabbage, it is very precious.

The cave walls were artificially dug and still bear traces of that excavation. It must have been abandoned for a long time. There are many fallen rocks in many places and no one has cleaned them. Many places have black blood stains that have dried up. The cave is very long and there are many human bones in some places. The bones are severely decayed and will break if you step on them lightly.

The further they went in, the stronger the smell of blood became, and the more dry bones they found, many of which were incomplete, making Changqing feel a little cold.

He knew in his heart that many tragedies had occurred in this cave. Now it seemed that those bones were discarded here by someone and not the result of natural death.

Continuing forward, the cave gradually became spacious, and in less than a moment, a natural cave suddenly appeared.

The cave was extremely spacious, and in the center of the cave stood a tall stone statue, holding a huge knife in its hand. Chang Qing walked up to the statue and observed it carefully.

He found that the stone statue was carved rather crudely and was full of evil spirit no matter how he looked at it.

There were some bloodstains at the feet of the stone statue, which had not completely dried up. This made Chang Qing alert. He followed the bloodstains and walked around the stone statue. Suddenly, he found several corpses lying not far away. The corpses were wearing the uniforms of the Xingyang Army. The corpses seemed to have all the blood in their bodies drained out, and their faces were filled with fear.

"It seems to be the team of scouts looking for the immortal's relics. I didn't expect that several of them lost their lives here," Chang Qing thought.

Looking around the corpse, the blood traces actually extended downwards. Not far away, a stone staircase appeared, extending downwards, and it was unknown where it led to.

Chang Qing took a deep breath and walked down the stone stairs. He had a feeling that there might be other things here besides treasures.

As he went deeper underground, the bloody smell became stronger. When he walked to the end of the stone stairs, a huge pool of blood appeared in front of him!

There are intricate inscriptions on the walls of the blood pool, exuding an ancient atmosphere. There are many huge braziers burning beside the blood pool, and no one knows what kind of fuel has been burning for so many years.

Under the light of the fire, there was a blood-red lotus platform in the center of the blood pool, with a dried corpse sitting cross-legged on it.

Changqing could feel the vast spiritual energy contained in this pool of blood, but the spiritual energy was polluted and very mixed, exuding a cold and tyrannical aura.

There was a jade table next to the blood pool, covered with dust, but there was only a little dust in the middle, as if something had been taken away recently. It seemed that Li Qinghe's things came from here.

His gaze turned to the lotus platform in the center of the blood pool. He jumped lightly and came in front of the skeleton. Chang Qing's heart moved. He could feel the aura emanating from this mummy, which was very similar to the aura of the blood pool.

The mummy had a big knife on its back. The knife had a tassel and looked simple. The blade was narrow and thin, the tip was sharp and pointed, and the handle was smooth and hard. There was even a spirit crystal as an ornament on it. The whole knife exuded a cold aura.

Changqing took down the broadsword, looked at it, and was a little disappointed. It seemed that this place was at least thousands of years old, and the broadsword had been severely eroded by time.

He sighed with some regret and said, "It has been too long, and its spirituality has been completely lost, and it has become just an ordinary tool."

But he did not throw it away. He thought that Wang Gang's weapon was damaged, so he gave the knife to him on the way back and put it on his back.

Suddenly Changqing discovered something strange. There was a jade slip of the same color as the bone in his hand. Because it was similar in color to the bone, Changqing did not notice it at first. There were some ancient words engraved on it.

After reading carefully, Chang Qing found that these words described what happened before the mummy died.

It turned out that the mummy was, as expected, an evil cultivator named Yu Bai.

When he was alive, he mastered an evil technique that allowed him to absorb the essence of living beings and transform it into cultivation. With this technique, he quickly dominated this cave.

However, in a battle with the enemy, he was severely injured and his body was severely damaged. It was difficult for him to recover for a while and he fainted in the river. Fortunately, he was rescued by a mortal woman.

While recuperating, Yu Bai gradually fell in love with this innocent girl, but when he thought of his own sins, he did not reveal his feelings.

When his injuries healed, he left alone, not wanting to implicate the girl because of himself.

But fate is cruel, everything seems to be a play, and destiny will make the two meet.
