Chapter 346: The Stonemen of the South Sea, Killing the Medicine Immortal
The mixture of demonic energy and bloody evil energy made Lu Zhan's blood boil, and the soul in his sea of consciousness was also full of energy.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
Lu Zhan smiled widely and couldn't help rubbing his hands.
Chu Wantang's expression changed. Before he could figure out the situation in the cell, he was startled by Lu Zhan's laughter. He felt that Lu Zhan's laughter was abnormal.
She coughed twice and reminded him, "Don't act so excited... We still have work to do."
"..."
The demons in the cell were also stunned, not understanding what Lu Zhan meant. He was clearly just a mortal, so why did his laughter sound more like a villain than theirs?
At first glance, it sounds like an old devil who has done many evil things.
Who is the cell boss?
The monsters strode towards the two, their snickering coming from the darkness, like evil spirits whispering in one's ear, the eerie voices hoarse and sinister.
Back when he was in Bian Jing, Lu Zhan had seen mermaids coming from the South China Sea. The mermaids fled far away because of the unusual movements in the South China Sea.
Although the prison cell of the Demon Suppression Bureau can suppress power, Lu Zhan is now in the most basic cell of the Mortal Realm, and the formation has little suppression on him.
Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Chu. Her face still shone brightly in the dark night, and her bright peach blossom eyes were filled with worry.
Chu Wantang shook her head helplessly. She couldn't figure out why Lu Zhan was like that. She swept her eyes across the cell and finally stopped at the northeast corner of the cell. She whispered, "Why didn't you do anything just now?"
The stone man slowly raised his head, and his expression finally changed: "Who are you?"
The stone man did not answer. He stared at Chu Wantang and Lu Zhan, as if he was thinking and considering. After a long while, he asked, "Why were you captured?"
"..."
The stone man was still calm and indifferent: "I don't know. The elder just asked me to take something to Bian Jing and didn't say much."
The stone man looked at her for a long while before shaking his head. "I am running out of energy and will not live long. I don't know who you are or what you want, but since you are willing to help me, please take that thing away after I die and bring it to Bianjing for me. The entire stone man tribe will be grateful to you."
Xiao Chu's tone was sincere and his eyes were serious.
Chu Wantang handed over the token: "This is not important. What is important is that this token can allow you to reach Bianjing safely."
"Brother, I have learned his laughter. It is indeed impressive. Hehehe... uh..."
Lu Zhan, who had been meditating silently, opened his eyes upon hearing this.
"Two humans actually came this time..."
The smelly blood mixed and flowed, and Lu Zhan sat in the middle of the corpses, his face full of comfort. More than 20 demon souls appeared in the sea of consciousness, enough for the soul to have a full meal.
"..."
Although Xiao Chu is a chivalrous man, he is not the kind of person who helps others blindly. Although the stone man has a pure aura, Xiao Chu couldn't wait to offer to help after just a few words, which surprised Lu Zhan a little.
Hearing this, Chu Wantang subconsciously took a few quick steps. She walked to the stone man and her tone changed slightly: "There were indeed some unusual movements in the South China Sea some time ago, but isn't there no major problem?"
The demon sitting in the corner was tall, with gray scales covering his body. His arms were like boulders, condensed into gray-black stones.
How come this guy acted like he was back home after going to jail?
This smile...if you don’t know, you would think he was a big brother in prison.
The moment he saw this monster, Lu Zhan identified its identity as a member of the South China Sea Stoneman tribe.
Seeing Lu Zhan's calm and composed look, Chu Wantang blinked and felt that Lu Zhan was a little abnormal.
"Stonemen?"
Lu Zhan looked around. The cell where the monsters were imprisoned was different from an ordinary cell. It was surrounded by walls and there was no light from the sky. It was truly a small dark room.
Although Chu Wantang did not know much about the South China Sea, he knew that his master attached great importance to it. The Stonemen had been living in the South China Sea and had not been seen for thousands of years. If there was no important matter, they would not set foot in the Central Plains.
As the ancient times faded away, the Stonemen gradually disappeared. It was said that they only still existed in the South China Sea. Lu Zhan had previously seen records about the Stonemen in the "Geography of the Great Zhou".
Chu Wantang's hairpin is a magical instrument. It looks plain on the outside, but it actually has a lot of secrets inside. She took out the golden token and said, "I am Chu Wantang, the disciple of the current Grand Master."
I encountered the stone man in the prison today, and he said it was related to the unusual movements in the South China Sea.
Chu Wantang embellished the story of the investigation slightly, saying that he was a good man who was wrongly framed by the Demon Suppression Division and was therefore arrested.
"This man's laughter is even more sinister than ours. How abominable..."
Chu Wantang took off the hairpin from her temples, and it emitted a light and lively light, illuminating most of the cell and also the figure in the corner.
Thinking of this, Chu Wantang whispered, "We'll send you away. You take my token and just go to Bianjing. No one will dare to stop you."
The stone man's voice was indifferent, but it was carefully weighed.
The stone man looked at the token for a while before saying, "I've never heard of it."
There were about twenty monsters imprisoned in the small dark room. There were many kinds of monsters with green faces and fangs. At this moment, their faces were greedy and their eyes were red.
The stone man sat in the corner, his face calm, his voice a little hoarse: "We have no grudges, why are you fighting?"
Chu Wantang looked at him and saw that he had a pure aura and was not a person who had done many evil things. As for why he was in the Demon Suppression Bureau, there must be other reasons.
The stone man looked at the demon corpses on the ground, then looked up at the woman in front of him and sighed, "There was a disturbance in the South China Sea, so my clan sent me to Bianjing with a token. When I passed by Yuzhou City, I encountered a female ghost harming people. I killed her and was captured by the Demon Suppression Division."
Before the demons could finish laughing, a golden sword light suddenly emanated from Lu Zhan's fingertips, and the cell became quiet in an instant.
She thought of the unusual movements in the South China Sea not long ago, and couldn't help asking, "The Stonemen have always lived in the South China Sea, why are you here?"
It is said that in ancient times, a magnificent divine stone fell from the sky. Some of the broken pieces of the divine stone smashed into a village near Zhongnanhai. The people in the village were not killed, but instead accidentally merged with the broken pieces of the divine stone. Their bodies were human, but their limbs were made of stone. They were called the Stone People by the world.
Although the ancestors of the stone men were human beings, they had already become very different from humans after being catalyzed by the divine stone.
The stone man's vital energy is the energy of the divine stone that he is born with. Once it is exhausted, there is no cure.
His situation was dire and there was no better solution.
Chu Wantang did not agree. She pulled Lu Zhan up and said, "Guanqi, help him."
Lu Zhan had no experience in treating the stone man, but he could still see that the stone man was completely exhausted. If he hadn't been holding on with a breath, he would have died long ago.
He shook his head: "The Stoneman race is special, and the life force they rely on cannot be replenished by other races."
The stone man curled up his knees with difficulty, his expression somewhat bitter: "My people have a long lifespan, but we cannot leave the South China Sea. I have been away from the South China Sea for too long, and was injured by those demon-suppressing masters, and there is no way I can save myself."
Seeing that things had come to this, Chu Wantang had no choice but to nod and say, "I can help you. Where is the thing? Who should I give it to when I get to Bianjing?"
The stone man waved his hand, signaling Chu Wantang to step back.
Lu Zhan held Chu Wantang's waist, and the two retreated to the opposite side. Then they saw the stone man raised his hands made of stone and smashed them towards his chest.
"boom!"
A dull knocking sound was heard, and the stone man seemed to be smashing his chest.
Chu Wantang's face turned pale: "What are you doing?"
The stone man said nothing, but smashed his chest and took out the beating, hot heart.
The scarlet heart was beating in his palm. The stone man stared at the heart with a faint smile on his face. "The thing is in my heart. You just need to bring it to Bian Jing and someone will contact you."
Having said this, the stone man exerted force suddenly, crushing the hot, bright red heart. His breath also died. He raised his bloody hand, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and whispered:
"We met by chance, and I am grateful that you are willing to help me. The stone man's spine contains some of the vitality of the divine stone, which is a treasure for refining magic tools. After I die, you can extract my spine as a thank you gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone man's raised hand stiffened slightly, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
And in the broken heart, a faint golden light appeared.
The light slowly rose into the air, and it turned out to be a golden stone with a strange symbol engraved on it, like a talisman.
Chu Wantang examined the golden stone and felt that it carried a sharp aura, but nothing else.
She put the stone away and looked at the stone man's body lying on the ground with a calm look: "I won't take your spinal cord. I will bury you."
After saying this, Chu Wantang waved her hairpin and put the stone man's body into it. After she finished all this, she let out a breath, her bright expression showing a bit of pity.
Lu Zhan held her hand and asked softly, "What's going on with the unusual movements in the South China Sea?"
Xiao Chu's reaction was so strange that even the stone man's behavior was strange.
Putting something in the heart shows that it is very precious. If it weren't for being desperate, the stone man would never trust these two strangers.
Chu Wantang did not struggle. Instead, she held his hand and whispered, "I don't know much about the changes in the South China Sea, but I overheard Aunt Mingyu chatting with Master, and it seemed that the changes in the South China Sea were closely related to Master... Unfortunately, I only heard a few words before Master discovered and drove me out."
I see…
Lu Zhan held her in his arms and comforted her, "Don't worry, once we bring this thing back to Bianjing, perhaps all doubts will be solved. The Grand Master is extremely powerful, even if there is something terrible hidden in the South China Sea, the Grand Master will be fine."
"I hope so." Chu Wantang snuggled up to Lu Zhan's chest, her mind wandering.
Lu Zhan did not say anything to interrupt, only feeling that fate was strange. He and Xiao Chu came to the Heavenly Prison just to use a trick to obtain evidence and wait for colleagues from Bian Jing to come and suppress Yuzhou City, but they did not expect to encounter the South Sea Stoneman Clan.
"Om-"
The prison fell into silence, and Xiao Chu quickly adjusted her mood. She stood up from Lu Zhan's arms and was about to say something to break the strange atmosphere when she heard a buzzing sound.
The voice seemed to come from Lu Zhan's head.
Chu Wantang glanced at Lu Zhan's head and asked, "What's going on on your head? Have the lice turned into spirits?"
"..."
Lu Zhan's face darkened. "It's the Black Water Sect's Soul Bowl, which I hid in my wig. The Heavenly Prison of the Demon Suppression Division is isolated from the outside world, but the wig is also a small magic weapon with a world inside. By hiding the Soul Bowl in the wig, it will not be affected by the Heavenly Prison formation and can receive messages."
When the Demon Suppression Division captures criminals, they will confiscate their magic weapons and storage rings to prevent them from causing trouble in prison.
But you have a plan, and I have a ladder.
Xiao Chu hid the thing in a hairpin in advance to escape the spiritual detection.
Lu Zhan put the things in his wig.
Strictly speaking, this was the idea given by Chen Beifang. Chen Beifang was obsessed with wigs and claimed that they were unique magical weapons. In order to flatter him, he gave one to Lu Zhan.
When Lu Zhan changed his appearance, he wore the wig that Chen Beifang gave him.
I have to say... this thing is really useful.
Of course, the real reason was that the demon-suppressing masters did not take them seriously. They thought Xiao Chu was weak and a mortal, so they naturally would not be too defensive.
"..."
Chu Wantang watched as Lu Zhan took off his wig, took out a spirit ring from a strand of hair, and then took out a black soul bowl from the spirit ring.
Well...I actually refined all the hair into a storage magic tool.
Chu Wantang was speechless for a moment.
