Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard an old voice.

"Little kid with a single water spirit root, it seems like you and I have some kind of fate..."

It seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the voice that came through his spiritual consciousness was a little stiff, so that Luo Shan couldn't tell from the voice whether the other person was a man or a woman.

There was someone in the cave. Luo Shan, who heard the sound, became alert immediately and tried again to touch the barrier with her spiritual sense, but found that it was useless. Her spiritual sense could only detect that there was an impenetrable hard stone wall in front of her, which was very different from the cave she saw with her eyes.

Luo Shan frowned slightly, hesitating whether to wait for Yuan Xiao to fully recover before discussing the situation here together.

"Little kid, I am from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and was imprisoned here by the formation in the Demon Palace. If you are willing to help me escape from this place, I will reward you handsomely."

Along with the sound, a golden word "Buddha" appeared on the barrier. The word "Buddha" appeared on the barrier and instantly corroded a crack on the barrier. However, the barrier soon seemed to have life and began to repair itself autonomously.

Luo Shan understood that the other party did this to prove that he was indeed a disciple of the Buddhist sect.

Luo Shan had heard of Buddhist cultivation and also knew about the Wanfo Temple. It was said that it was once a prosperous and large sect in Dongyue, comparable to the three major immortal cultivation sects.

However, thousands of years ago, most of the high-level cultivators in Wanfo Temple died overnight, and the temple has never recovered since then. It is now considered a medium-sized sect in the Dongyue Continent.

No one came from the Wanfo Temple in the Donglin Secret Realm this time, so when Luo Shan heard the being in the cave say that he was from the Wanfo Temple, his face immediately darkened.

If the person in the cave is really from the Wanfo Temple, then how terrifying must his current cultivation be? He has been imprisoned in the barrier for thousands of years or even longer. His strength should not appear in the Donglin Secret Realm at all.

It seems that the people from the Demon Sect are doing more than just for the Yin-Yang Bead. This place is naturally suitable for demon practitioners to practice, not to mention that there was an ancient demon palace here before.

Although the Demon Palace has become a ruin, there are always some things left. Therefore, after failing to obtain the Yin-Yang Pearl, those violent demon cultivators will sweep the Demon Palace as much as possible.

The person inside saw that Luo Shan didn't respond for a long time and became a little angry: "Daoyou, if you are willing to help me get out, I am willing to give you a magic weapon as a reward."

"Why do you call yourself "I" instead of "old monk" or "poor monk"? Aren't you a monk?" Although he thought too much subconsciously, Luo Shan reacted quickly.

The people in the cave were silent for a long time, obviously choked by Luo Shan's words.

I thought to myself, why is it that the little kid at the entrance of the cave is so attentive? Shouldn't I ask him why he was imprisoned here and what kind of "reward" I would get if I rescued him?

Just as he was about to say what he had finally thought of, he suddenly heard the girl's words and was at a loss for words.

After a moment of silence, the voice in the cave sounded again: "Although I am an outsider, the current situation is special. Now only my soul remains here. I don't want the inheritance to be cut off, so I want to wait for someone who is destined to be with me."

The sounds in the cave were somewhat desolate and helpless.

"That's really a pity." Luo Shan stood outside the cave. Although his tone was a little regretful, his expression did not change at all.

Regardless of whether what the people in the cave said was true or false, she didn't want any inheritance. After all, in terms of identity and gender, she was not suitable for the other party's inheritance at all.

They are a clan of corpse puppets. They have been accompanied by corpse puppets since childhood, so they naturally have a faint smell of corpse qi around them. If they have accepted the inheritance of Buddhism...

Luo San couldn't even think about it.

"I am a cultivator from southern Xinjiang and have no interest in your inheritance, so I will not disturb you from waiting for the right person here. Goodbye." Luo San said, turning around and heading down the mountain.

She had wanted to see what was going on inside the cave just in case. After all, mysterious things are always full of unknown horrors. Now that she knew there was someone inside the cave, or perhaps some powerful spirit, she felt a little more at ease.

"Wait a minute!" A ball of dark fog in the cave quickly called out to Luo Shan. Before he could finish his words, the girl left. What should he do then? Does he have to stay in this godforsaken place for another few thousand years?

"Girl, don't be anxious. I know you are not such a greedy person." Heiwu's tone of voice was very nice. Luo Shan could even hear the urgency in the other's voice.

Stopping in his tracks, Luo Shan glanced at the dark cave entrance, a strange color flashing across his dark eyes.

"Senior, is there anything else?"

"You are trapped here, and the skeletons outside dare not approach here. Do you know the reason?" Although it was a question, the other party did not wait for Luo San to answer, but directly stated the reason.

"Because there is a bell to suppress evil."

"The evil-suppressing bell suppresses all the evil spirits here. Once those skeletons step into the Bone Mountain, the evil spirits on their bodies will be dispersed by the evil-suppressing bell, and they will turn into white bones and become part of this Bone Mountain."

"If you want to leave safely with that boy, you have to get the evil-suppressing bell."

"Little kid, if you can break the barrier, I will give you everything I have, even the Demon-Suppressing Bell."

The voice in the cave was no longer as high-pitched as the first time, but rather had a certain urgency.

"Suppressing Bell?" Luo Shan turned his head and looked at the huge group of skeletons in the distance and the mountain of bones piled up under his feet:

"You said you wanted to give me the Demon-Suppressing Bell?"

"You lie without thinking. Senior, maybe you really think I have a deceived face?" If the Demon-Suppressing Bell really was the other party's, would the other party still be trapped here for thousands of years?

"What is drafting? Who is the drafter and why do we draft?" As a native cultivator, he didn't quite understand what came out of the little girl outside the cave.

Luo Shan gritted his teeth and took a deep breath: "Senior, if you want to lie to me, you should find a better reason. The Zhensha Bell suppresses countless skeletons here. I am afraid it has existed longer than you. If it is not yours, how can you give it to me?"

Luo Shan probably guessed the situation of the man who was talking in the cave, but he was afraid that the situation was not optimistic now. He said that he was from Wanfo Temple. This might be half true and half false. After all, the word "Buddha" that appeared in the barrier before was not something that could be produced by any cultivator. That word of Buddha carried a righteous spirit, and it was impossible for someone who was not a Buddhist to produce it.
