At that moment, the bald, burly man, Ghost Snake, walked in carrying a stone plate, on which sat a thumb-sized pottery jar and several black, shiny stone bowls.
Unsealing the mud stopper on the pottery jar, he poured out a clump of blue-red liquid.
Zhang Ling immediately sensed that this strangely colored liquid was unusual, and his gaze swept over it.
Noticing his gaze, the linen-clad old man chuckled, "This is Soul-Suppressing Wine, brewed from the unique spiritual flowers of this place. Senior, why not give it a try?"
Ghost Snake, being quite clever, handed the first bowl of spiritual wine to Zhang Ling.
"Soul-Suppressing Wine?" A strange look flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes. He took the wine bowl and immediately sensed that it was emanating both heat and cold, giving off two different sensations.
This was indeed special, but not particularly surprising. High-grade spiritual wines in the cultivation world often possessed unique spiritual energy and unusual effects.
He swirled the wine bowl in his hand, and without hesitation, Zhang Ling took a sip. Immediately, a spicy sensation hit his throat. It lacked the sweetness of ordinary spiritual wine and had a hint of bitterness.
At the same time, both hot and cold sensations rushed to his brain, causing him to tremble. This feeling only lasted for two or three breaths before returning to normal.
"Good wine. This spiritual wine of yours is indeed top-grade, possessing a slight effect of tempering the divine sense," Zhang Ling praised without reservation, then downed the wine in one gulp.
"It is an honor for Soul-Suppressing Wine to catch Senior's eye," the linen-clad old man said, a look of great joy on his face. "If Senior likes it, you can take a few more jars later."
Hearing this, Zhang Ling glanced at the man, his expression returning to a calm, unperturbed state. "Alright, let's talk about the Snake Ancestor and the situation of Great Snake Mountain first."
"Yes."
The old man was also very tactful, immediately putting away his thoughts and responding.
"It seems Senior already has some understanding of this place. As for the Snake Ancestor, I don't know much about it either. What I know is only information passed down from our predecessors. It is said that the Snake Ancestor is a great ferocious beast that sleeps here for some unknown reason. It only awakens once in a while, and each time it awakens, it displays a heaven-covering and earth-shattering divine power, causing violent yin winds to sweep through this space. This makes life miserable for those of us trapped here, but the yin winds also bring in some creatures from the outside world. That's how I was swept into this place. The three fellow Daoists next to me were also swept in under similar circumstances. I imagine Senior came in the same way, right?"
As the linen-clad old man spoke, he cautiously glanced at Zhang Ling, seeing that he was still listening expressionlessly. He coughed lightly and continued.
"As for Great Snake Mountain, it is where the Snake Ancestor sleeps. It is a land devoid of spiritual energy. When I first came here, I explored it a few times..."
At the same time, Old Ancestor Tianfeng and Dongfang Ya had actually joined forces and were flying in the high sky. It seemed they were also searching around nearby.
The two had met not long ago and thus traveled together. With their cultivation levels, they had naturally discovered that this space was extremely strange, so they temporarily joined forces to find a way out.
Suddenly, Dongfang Ya stopped her escape light and glanced at a mountain depression below, revealing a look of surprise.
"Fellow Daoist, what did you find?" Old Ancestor Tianfeng immediately asked, and at the same time, his divine sense swept over, and he also became somewhat astonished.
In the mountain depression that Dongfang Ya was looking at, there was a hidden cliff wall. Below the cliff wall, there were many stone caves and some stone houses and other buildings, with figures moving about inside.
"There are so many mortals." Both of them discovered a lot of mortal auras and revealed strange expressions.
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
The two exchanged a glance and directly descended into the mountain depression.
In another direction, Elder Tian also suddenly landed in a small village built of red rocks, causing some commotion.
At this time, some of the cultivators who had been swept into this place had also discovered that there were natives here.
A thousand miles away from Ghost Folk Village, in another small village, a series of alarm bells rang.
This village was about the same size as Ghost Folk Village, named Wind Rock Village, with only about a hundred people. The men, women, and children in the village were extremely busy at this time, all picking up various weapons and smashing them against the stone walls, standing in full battle array, staring at a patch of yin wind outside the village.
It was a black whirlwind a hundred feet wide, the howling wind mixed with strange roars, rushing towards them.
As the whirlwind swept in, a cloud of green mist suddenly rose from the village, spreading over the entire village, forming a strange green wind mass, resisting the black wind outside.
The two wind masses collided, erupting in a series of loud rumbling sounds.
The black wind was extremely fierce, and in the blink of an eye, it surrounded the entire village in the wind mass.
Fortunately, this black wind seemed to be just passing by, and before long, it swept past and rolled away into the distance.
"Everyone, rest assured, it's just an ordinary yin wind, there's no danger," a red-faced old man on the stone wall reassured the villagers in a loud voice.
But as soon as his words fell, there was a loud bang, and something fell from the sky, hitting the front of the village.
It immediately attracted their attention. The thing was a five- or six-foot-large red light sphere, flickering with spiritual light, smashing into the ground and creating a large pit.
This strange thing immediately attracted the attention of many villagers on the stone wall of Wind Rock Village.
"Old Feng, look what is this thing? Could it be something swept in from the outside by the Snake Ancestor again? Could it be some kind of monster?" A black-faced young man next to the red-faced old man on the stone wall widened his mouth in surprise as he looked at the red light sphere, swallowing his saliva and couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, several people next to him showed excitement. Food was scarce here, and if it was really a monster, maybe they could slaughter it for meat, or get a demon core, which would allow the entire village to survive a few more dangers.
At this moment, the green wind mass surrounding the village was a defensive measure set up with a fifth-order demon core. It was enough to allow the entire village to resist the yin wind for twenty or thirty years.
The red-faced old man also looked at the red light sphere with some uncertainty. He first took out a white ball from his arms, which was also a magic weapon. It was left behind by a Golden Core cultivator who came to the village hundreds of years ago and died.
A magic formula was cast on it, and the ball released a ray of light that enveloped the red light sphere. But after the glow, the light sphere remained motionless.
There was neither any resistance nor any attack.
The old man frowned, glanced at the black boy next to him, and instructed, "Tiezhu, Heiwa, you go down and take a look. There are special spiritual power fluctuations on it, but be careful."
"Understood, Old Feng." The black-faced boy immediately called out to a crew-cut strong man next to him. The two jumped directly from the stone wall, their movements very agile.
Seeing that the power of Qi and blood in their bodies was not weak, they were also low-level body cultivators, one holding a long stone spear, and the other holding a ten-foot-large black shield. They slowly approached the red light sphere.
After walking a few steps, they approached the light sphere. The black-faced boy poked it with the stone spear. The light sphere looked soft, but the stone spear did not poke in. Instead, it was bounced away by a huge force, causing the black-faced boy to take two steps back.
The black-faced boy shook his hands, and the stone spear in his hand immediately glowed red, and he poked it again.
However, the result was still the same. An even greater force came from the light sphere, directly knocking him away and throwing him seven or eight feet away, making him look a mess.
"What the hell is this thing? I don't believe it..." The black-faced boy rolled up from the ground, his face a little black and red, and couldn't help but roar. It seemed that he wanted to attack the light sphere again.
"Something's wrong, you guys come back quickly." But he heard Old Feng's urgent shout from behind.
But the black-faced boy did not stop. He tapped the ground with three feet and instantly窜了three or four feet away. The long spear was thrown directly at the light sphere.
The stone spear instantly lit up with a fiery red light, bringing with it a fierce aura. It crashed into the light sphere like a shooting star.
This time, the stone spear was nailed into the light sphere and did not bounce off. The black-faced boy showed a hint of joy.
However, at this moment, the light sphere suddenly vibrated, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.
The black-faced boy and the crew-cut strong man were the closest. Their faces turned pale and bloodless in an instant, and they trembled all over, stiffening in place.
Even the villagers on the stone wall behind also sensed a terrifying aura, and each of them showed a look of horror.
Among these people, the red-faced old man Feng had the highest strength, and the spiritual power fluctuations on his body reached the peak of Qi refining. His cheeks twitched, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, he let out a whimper, and the whole person fell directly to the ground, directly cutting off his breath.
Sounds of 'thump thump' came out one after another, and the villagers next to him also bled from their orifices one by one, and they also died.
Looking at the black-faced boy and the crew-cut strong man, they also vomited blood at the same time and died.
The light sphere only vibrated, and hundreds of people in Fengyan Village died strangely. Although only a few of these people were Qi refining cultivators, this strange way of death was shocking.
The light sphere was still in place, vibrating every moment, sending out muffled sounds.
Until a while later, the light sphere cracked a few cracks, scattered like petals, scattered into countless, like distorted petals of red shadows.
The light sphere wrapped a baby, looking like a newborn baby, but did not make any cries.
At this time, the baby opened its eyes, which were completely black eyes. Suddenly a cloud of blue light shone on the baby, the blue light was the light emitted by a bronze ancient lamp.
As the blue lamp flame flickered, the baby's body quickly grew larger.
In the blink of an eye, it grew into a two- or three-year-old girl. The girl stood up from the ground, looking around blankly.
As if just born consciousness.
"Red Lotus, are you awake?" Suddenly a muffled voice came into the ear, scaring the girl directly sitting on the ground.
I saw a flash of purple light in front of the girl, appeared a mini three-headed Hades snake, this snake is excited to hiss.
The girl saw the suddenly appeared strange snake, did not feel afraid, but a sense of intimacy. Opened his mouth and made a childish voice. "You, are."
"I am Hades, is your companion ghost beast. It seems that your memory has not fully recovered." The three-headed Hades snake shook its head, turned around the girl a few times, as if checking something.
"Sure enough, at the beginning, your spirit was given to that human cultivator to nourish, I don't know what happened, not only delayed for ten thousand years, still did not make up for your Yuanshen.
Damn it, if it wasn't for being sealed by that True Yang Sanxian with Jueling Mountain's true essence, how could I have taken this step.
But it doesn't matter, you have woken up, come with me, to my true body, as long as I pass you a wisp of spirit, you will remember who you are."
In this speaking kung fu, the girl's body grew a lot again, already had seven or eight years old. And different from ordinary girls is that she, her forehead grew out two pairs of red small horns, at the same time the back also faintly showed a green face fangs of the evil ghost face. Like a tattoo.
"I, I'm not going, I still have to find my brother." The girl suddenly cried out in pain, as if remembering something. Suddenly climbed up from the ground and ran away into the distance.
The girl stretched out her foot, and instantly appeared twenty or thirty feet away, and a flash of body, unexpectedly has been to a hundred feet away. This speed, very much like the shrinking ground into inches of supernatural power.
The place where she stepped on her feet, also emerged a strange red flower, a flash and scattered, but certainly not an illusion.
The three-headed Hades snake immediately chased after, a mouth sprayed out a cloud of black mist, trapped the girl inside. "You are the Rakshasa Hades King of my Great Ghost Mountain, how can there be a younger brother. No, there is another human remnant soul in your body. Humph, sure enough, the human race can not be trusted, even put a prohibition, want to control you."
At this time, he seemed to have found something, became a little angry and shouted a few times. Turned into a ball of yin wind wrapped in the girl disappeared.
Zhang Ling is still in Guimin Village, listening to the old man in linen telling the situation of this space.
From this population he has a better understanding of this place.
This space has thousands of miles in radius, the space is not small. But in fact, these natives, or those who were accidentally swept into this place, mostly live on the edge.
There are forty or fifty small villages like Guimin Village, all built by people who were swept into this place. These people dare not get too close to the absolute spiritual area in the central area. The reason is self-evident.
Ordinary people can't enter there at all, they will be blocked by the fierce yin wind.
Only high-level monks can barely go deep into it. The old man in linen entered there a few times when he was swept into this place. But listening to this person, there is not only solitary yin wind there, but the deeper you go, the faster the spiritual power loss will be. He did not go deep into it. See the so-called Snake Ancestor.
The deepest entry was only a hundred miles deep, and he had to retreat. And as his strength regressed, after this person weakened to the foundation building stage, he never entered or left there again.
The old man in linen looked bitter and laughed mockingly. "I'm afraid I'll never have hope of going out again. Does Senior Zhang want to enter there to find a way out."
