Chapter 128: Flesh Prison, Encounter

Mu Qin's expression changed drastically.

It was because the old man who had just passed away was actually the abbot of Jiuxiang Temple.

According to the status of Jiuxiang Temple, the inconspicuous old man was a Buddha-level figure.

In fact, she had been trying her best to control her expression.

Her heart had already been in turmoil.

Such a person actually died here.

And...

He just died, no more than five days ago.

How could Mu Qin not be shocked, but what comforted her was that the abbot seemed to have little cultivation left before his death.

She didn't know what was ahead and whether it was dangerous.

But she knew very well that she couldn't retreat.

This was about the future of the incense.

She had to go to the lower level and understand the deeper content of the incense, perhaps it was intuition, or perhaps it was the feeling of being a founder.

She could foresee that this trip was closely related to the future, so she couldn't take a step back.

This was also related to her state of mind.

As a pioneer of this new incense, if he retreats easily, this road will almost come to an end.

…

The fifteenth floor.

The body prison.

Unlike the previous one, when he stepped into this floor, a vicissitudes of life came to his face.

The first thing that caught his eye was a series of murals.

Mu Qin looked carefully and saw clearly that one of the murals depicted a skinny old man with a tumor on his back that was bigger than his head.

She frowned and walked forward while browsing the murals.

After a while, she saw another painting.

The painting showed a woman, but her hair had fallen out, her cheeks were sunken, and she was chewing on the bark of a tree.

It was extreme hunger.

After walking a few more steps, another portrait came into view, a child had a sore on his chest, and his skin was broken and bleeding.

The murals were lifelike.

Every few steps, you can see different human tragedies.

Some people's hands and feet turned into bark, and some people's mouths and tongues had sores...

Mu Qin frowned and her footsteps were silent.

"Huh?"

Suddenly.

She stopped, her pupils trembled, and she found a familiar figure in front of her.

This person was wearing a black robe and a black and white mask on his face.

He was concentrating on observing the murals.

At this moment, he noticed the person coming and turned his head. The two looked at each other, and neither knew what the other was thinking.

Who else could the black-robed man be except Li Changxiao.

When he came to the fifteenth floor, he was attracted by the murals on the wall, so he stayed for a few more days.

It was not surprising that he was caught up.

Li Changxiao looked behind Mu Qin and was a little surprised that Si Nian and Li Tianyu did not follow.

He had almost no contact with Mu Qin, but he knew a little about the other's character.

He was indifferent by nature.

He followed the natural way.

He would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he did not mind killing.

A summary in one sentence.

This woman is not easy to mess with, but the probability of her attacking him should not be high.

Li Changxiao evaluated in his heart. He could not say that he did everything perfectly and had a complete plan for everything, but he also tried his best to avoid unnecessary troubles and leave a few ways out for himself.

Even if this Mu Xianchang killed people like crazy, he could deal with it with the mysterious sound of the dream space and his ability to escape.

Thoughts flashed in his mind.

Li Changxiao bowed to the other party, smiled slightly, and spoke first: "Senior."

Mu Qin was stunned, looking at the figure in front of her, frowning again and again, and her mind was a little confused for a while.

She waved her whisk, nodded lightly, and asked in a cold voice: "The sentence 'There is a strange disease here' was engraved by you?"

"So... you have always known that we are also cultivators, and you have been following us secretly, knowing that we have also entered the Sutra Library and are behind you?"

Mu Qin asked lightly.

"It's just a coincidence." Li Changxiao said with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

【 】

Mu Qin snorted lightly, "Hmph, your true identity must be one of the three of us. We have some intersections, or at least we know each other. We can't say that we have a very good relationship, but we are still in love. Otherwise, why would I have to engrave a warning? It's not difficult to guess your true identity."

"I have seen you wearing this outfit more than once in Buddha City. You call yourself Su Yun, but your behavior and words are different. Others may not notice this, but it can't escape my eyes."

"But..." Mu Qin changed the subject, "If you want to hide behind the mask, then hide it. I won't expose it."

Mu Qin's tone was flat, just telling the facts.

Li Changxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As expected of Mu Xianchang.

He saw through me after just one meeting.

"Xianchang is really smart, but I have an agreement with the Su family. I have to return to Changwu City before I can take off the mask." Li Changxiao said truthfully.

Hearing this, Mu Qin's expression fluctuated a little, and a complex emotion appeared in the depths of her eyes, but it was quickly restrained.

"You said there is a strange disease here, but you don't leave yourself, why?" Mu Qin asked.

"Because I came here to investigate this strange disease." Li Changxiao said.

"Aren't you afraid of getting infected?" Mu Qin asked.

Li Changxiao shook his head, but did not explain the reason, leaving this Mu Xianchang to guess.

Even the most powerful cultivators cannot avoid the exhaustion of spiritual energy.

The immortal skills and immortality methods in the world have been weakened and suppressed. Relying on these skills, the lifespan obtained is ultimately limited, even the top ones are no exception.

As for those forbidden skills that take away life.

To be honest, people have tried it as early as the early stage of spiritual energy depletion, about two hundred years ago.

But it is not that simple.

First of all, killing people consumes spiritual energy.

Taking away life also consumes spiritual energy.

To graft someone else's life onto oneself requires a lot of spiritual energy.

Every step consumes spiritual energy.

And the life span will be greatly discounted during the grafting process.

You can get one out of a hundred life spans taken away, and the more life spans you take away, the more spiritual energy you consume.

Even the best life span taking method is no exception.

It is a business that gains ten and loses a hundred.

If killing people to take away life can be successful, why would the cultivators in the world hide. Life span is so mysterious that no cultivator in the world dares to say that he can understand it.

Or... I think I understand it, but in fact, the so-called "understanding" is based on the premise of abundant spiritual energy.

This road has long been proven to be unworkable.

In addition, killing people to take away souls to replenish spiritual energy is also not feasible.

At this time, it is a dead end to introduce other people's spiritual energy into the body. Two different types of spiritual energy repel each other in the body, and the end can be imagined.

Of course, some devouring techniques are specifically used to devour other people's spiritual energy for their own use. It seems to work, but they are all stuck in the step of refining spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy consumed by refining spiritual energy is several times more than the spiritual energy obtained after refining.

After the spiritual energy is exhausted, everything needs to consider the loss of spiritual energy. This self-evident method killed many cultivators in the early stage.

Lifespan is so difficult to figure out. In the eyes of the world, immortality is completely impossible.

This is common sense and an iron rule!

So.

As long as Li Changxiao himself does not say it.

No matter what Mu Xianchang is like, he can't imagine that Li Changxiao is still immortal now.

Even if he admits it himself and announces it to the world, no one will believe it. The world will be more willing to believe that he is a lunatic.

At most, at most, it is suspected that he is lucky and picked up the immortal fruit with the effect still there.

As an immortal, Li Changxiao looked at things from his own perspective, as if whatever he did might expose his secrets.

In fact, it was just the opposite.

Just do whatever you want.

Mu Qin really didn't ask any more questions. She guessed in her heart that maybe Li Changxiao had swallowed some kind of fruit that could resist the invasion of strange diseases, so he was fearless.

She had automatically found the most reasonable explanation for Li Changxiao.
