The man was wearing a blue Taoist robe, black boots, and his beard was almost at the same position as his abdomen. Who wasn't Dan Lingzi?

Yes, a new Dan Lingzi came to the dead Dan Lingzi.

Except for one who is dead and the other who is alive, there is almost no difference between the two, and even the pale face is the same.

This can be said to be carved out by a mold using the same materials and techniques without any difference.

Suddenly, Dan Lingzi looked around with a cautious expression, and Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help but press their posture lower.

Did he notice something from the dead Dan Lingzi and think someone is nearby?

However, after that, the alive Dan Lingzi did not continue to check.

He began to dig graves, and the living Dan Lingzi began to dig graves for the dead Dan Lingzi.

This is a very absurd and terrifying scene, but it just happened.

The dead Dan Lingzi quickly entered the soil, and a stone tablet was erected with the words "Dan Lingzi Chen Yu's Tomb".

So, Dan Lingzi's tomb had another one.

Looking at the words on the new tombstone, Ji Que understood one thing.

No wonder the words on these tombstones are almost the same. It turns out that they were all carved by Dan Lingzi for himself.

But is the Dan Lingzi in front of you still a Dan Lingzi?

Where did he come from?

Things are getting more and more evil.

The new Dan Lingzi stood in front of the grave for a while, then walked towards the single-plank bridge with the extinguished oil lamp in his arms.

Is he going to Changxu View?

Ning Hongyu winked at Ji Que, gestured for a moment, indicating that he was going to go with this Dan Lingzi, while he continued to investigate the situation nearby.

Yes, they not only have to continue to follow this Dan Lingzi, but also know where this Dan Lingzi emerged.

Afterwards, she gave Ji Que a small bamboo bag.

There was a little bee in the bamboo bag. Ji Que didn't have to think about it, so he knew it was for her.

The little bees inside should be able to smell the smell of Ning Hongyu.

Afterwards, the two soldiers split into two groups, one followed Dan Lingzi, and the other walked deeper into the weeds.

The direction Ji Que is leaving is exactly the direction where this new Dan Lingzi comes.

The more you go, the more lush the weeds around you, and graves are still distributed nearby.

There are many elixirs buried here.

Ji Que didn't know how far he had walked. Apart from weeds and graves, there were no "coordinates" to refer to.

But he could feel that there were fewer graves around him than before.

The air is filled with the fishy smell of the soil, visible to the naked eye, and the nearby soil becomes much wet, leaving clear footprints when stepped on it.

At the same time, the weeds became more lush and some of the tombs were covered.

So Ji Que stood at the top of a grave and looked around.

The grass is deep here, and it is difficult to see the whole picture nearby, so he can only stand on the tops of graves and carefully observe the strangeness around him.

Finally, he found something.

Standing on this grave, you can see that there is a weed that is much shallower, as if it is suppressed by something.

Ji Que walked over and saw a tripod.

The surface is carved with complex textures. The textures look like wrinkles on the faces of elderly people and some strange runes.

Yes, it is very similar to the stone tripod in the Ken Cave underground in Changxu Temple.

Ji Que did not remember the details of the stone tripod before, and he tended to think that they were exactly the same.

Dan Lingzi is very likely to have come out from here.

He and Ning Hongyu had guessed before that the big-bellied elk used to feed Chen Li was probably grown from the ancient stone tripod, and the elixir might have grown from the tripod.

From the first glance of seeing this kind of tripod, Ji Que felt evil nature, as if he had seen things that humans should not touch in ancient times.

If the stone tripod underground had already made him feel uncomfortable before, then the tripod felt even more.

Because it has something to do with people.

All the tombs walking around were dead Dan Lingzi.

Just imagine the scenes of countless elixirs popping out of this tripod, which makes people's scalp numb.

After finding this tripod, Ji Que quickly chased Ning Hongyu.

The detached weeds and tombstones of different styles, and the same corpses are buried inside, which always makes people feel strange.

Ji Que leaned against the little bee and found Ning Hongyu.

She was lying in a tree, and Dan Lingzi in front was busy with something in the forest.

After climbing the tree, Ning Hongyu couldn't help but say with his lips: "He was a little alert."

Ji Que gestured with his mouth: "I saw a tripod."

After some exchanges, Ning Hongyu understood Ji Que's meaning.

Two ancient stone tripods that look very similar or even exactly the same can grow elk and danlingzi with big belly.

Dan Lingzi relies on these elks to feed them every day, or to worship Chen Li, and repeat this every day, without end.

They have felt right these days, and everything here seems to be repeating.

"What exactly is Chen Li, the Dan Lingzi emerging from the stone tripod?" Ji Que said in confusion.

Ning Hongyu said: "Then we have to think about why Dan Lingzi has to do the same thing every day?"

Ji Quesisu said: "Making food for the master is actually more like a kind of sacrificial sacrifice. The new Dan Lingzi will always continue to do it and repeat everything before."

"What emerged from these two cauldrons is trying to trap Chen Li, or to maintain this situation?"

They could clearly feel that if Chen Li didn't eat the deer at that hour every day, she would become irritable and terrifying.

This feeling reminds Ji Que of patients in mental hospitals, and sometimes he needs to rely on doctors to trick them into taking medicine to maintain normalcy.

It can be seen that Dan Lingzi is very afraid of Chen Li, as if once Chen Li loses control, something extremely terrible will happen.

At this time, Dan Lingzi was farther away from them, but Ji Que and Ning Hongyu knew that no matter how long he stayed here, he would always rush back to Changxu Temple before dark.

Ning Hongyu said in his lips: "Those two tripods reminded me of a legend."

"legend?"

Because of the ginseng fruit tree, Ning Hongyu checked many related files some time ago, including many Taoist deeds.

Ning Hongyu said the story of Laojun creating humans.

In legends and stories in the world, people tend to believe that all living things in the world are made of mud and water by gods, such as the most famous Nuwa created humans.

But the person made of ancient god Nuwa made of mud and water is not perfect, with limited lifespan and easy to be injured and died. However, it gradually became huge, making the world full of vitality, and even gods dare not underestimate it.

Because of human potential, Taoist gods and immortals have never stopped studying humans, or they have been committed to fabricating more perfect humans for a long time, among which Taishang Laojun is the representative.

As a very ancient god, Laojun is a very close existence to an ancient Taoist god like Nuwa.

It is said that for a period of time, whether it was the earth or a vast land, Laojun was not satisfied with the human beings created by the ancient god Nuwa, thinking that they were too fragile to determine the direction of the world.

So he has been trying to create more perfect humans.

In that mythological story, Laojun made various attempts.

Laojun is good at refining elixirs, so he refined various elixirs to be swallowed. Therefore, some humans become long-lived, some people become extremely powerful, and some people become as tall as towers, but some people have undergone abnormal changes, causing harm to the world and turning into evil spirits.

It can be said that Laojun did not achieve his idea when he refining alchemy. He believed that those people were always created by Nuwa, and even if he swallowed the elixir, he still could not change its essence. So Laojun began to try to create people by himself.

"Born people with a tripod" is one of Laojun's attempts.

It is said that Laojun searched all over the world and found the creation of Yang Sui Shen in the wilderness, a very strange soil.

The so-called "Yangsui" means "making fire from the sun", and the Yangsui God is an existence that is even older than the ancient god Nuwa.

The creation of the Yang Sui God, that is, the strange soil, was called "Tai Sui" by Laojun.

Tai Sui is a kind of soil, a kind of soil with a long life span.

Laojun created hundreds of cauldrons based on Tai Sui and supplemented by his lifelong methods.

These cauldrons are called "Taisui Cauldrons".

It is said that these cauldrons almost exhausted Laojun's efforts.

There are hundreds or thousands of Tai Sui Cauldrons, all of which are made of Tai Sui earth, and all are used to create humans, but the effects are not consistent.

Some people made of Tai Sui Cauldron have three heads and six arms, three heads and quarrels, and eventually die in a mad manner; some people made of Tai Sui Cauldron have a long life span, but are afraid of thunder, and are easily dissipated; while some people made of Tai Sui Cauldron have a smart, wise life span, and are good at practicing. They are very consistent with Laojun's requirements for people, but they are prone to hysteria and make horrible actions of eating people and swallowing gods.

It can be said that the Tai Sui Cauldron created all kinds of strange people. Some of them were much stronger than humans when they were born, and they became stronger and stronger, but they also had all kinds of problems.

In short, the Tai Sui Ding can be said to be many attempts by Laojun to create humans, but it is undoubtedly not a success.

Later, Laojun, who had exhausted his efforts, realized that it was no easy task to create a human being, so he gradually ran apart his original plan.

The file describes the process and result of Laojun creating humans, but does not describe the whereabouts of the Tai Sui tripod.

Ji Que couldn't help but say, "So you suspect that what we saw is the Tai Sui Ding?"

When he thought about it carefully, the two tripods were indeed very similar to the Tai Sui tripod described by Ning Hongyu.

He always felt that the textures were both like wrinkles on the old man’s face and some kind of ancient runes. It must be because Tai Sui was originally the soil with life span, and those runes were written by Laojun?

"Those two tripods are the legendary Laojun thing. Who would be the person who put the two tripods here?"

A god like Taishang Laojun can be said to be a figure like the originator of the gods, and the people who can find and use his things are absolutely extraordinary.

Ning Hongyu thought, "He is naturally a Taoist master, and I even think he is a Taoist god."

After all, the Tai Sui tripod is the creation of the originator of the gods. It is a bit of a dream for mortals to use it, but only Taoist gods can master some of Laojun's magical powers.

"The gods, the gods set up a plan, specifically dealing with Li Li?"

Thinking of this, Ji Que only felt like he was in a dark ocean, with some huge creatures swimming around him, but he couldn't see it in detail.

Because it can be seen that the existence of these two cauldrons is to continuously give birth to new Dan Lingzi and Elk, and the meaning of their existence seems to be to comfort Chen Li and let him stay in Changxu Temple day after day.

Ji Que couldn't help but recall the solemn expression of Dan Lingzi when he came here with Lin Xiangzhi for the first time and the warning to them.

Don't go back here and forget all this.

He felt extremely strange at the time, but now when he thinks about it carefully, the reason why Dan Lingzi is so nervous and solemn must be because he is worried that their appearance will change the balance here and make Chen Li lose control.

It’s like a mentally ill person is better not to be stimulated by the outside world.

What makes his back chill now is that if Chen Li is an evil spirit, then he is an evil spirit that even a Taoist god cannot do anything to him?

Taoist gods could only set up a game with two Tai Sui tripods, constantly allowing Dan Lingzi and Elk to sacrifice Chen Li, leaving him trapped in this game.

Yes, if the Taoist gods could kill Chen Li directly, they would definitely not use such troubles or even seem cautious methods.

And is Chen Li really an evil spirit?

He really became very scary when he swallowed the elk, and sentences like "Laojun", "gods" and "approached" would appear from time to time in his mouth, as if he was really communicating with those gods.

Could Chen Li be a god too? He is just fighting with another god?

The god might have defeated him, but he could not kill him, so he could only trap him in this way.

However, even if Chen Li is a god, just his temperament is definitely not a good person.

Ji Que informed Ning Hongyu about his thoughts, and Ning Hongyu fell into silence.

At this time, Ning Hongyu suddenly called him down.

They came to the vicinity of the single-plank bridge.

There are lush weeds and dense shrubs, and there is nothing unusual in Ji Que's eyes.

Ning Hongyu pointed to a withered tree and said, "When I passed by here last night, I made two marks on this dead tree."

Ji Que looked over and found that there was nothing there.

"you mean?"

Ning Hongyu raised his head, looked at the wild forest and the direction of Changxuguan not far away, and said, "This Changxuguan and this forest are alive."

"Um?"

"People will heal if injured, and this forest can be as good as that. I have looked carefully and the traces we might have left last night disappeared." Ning Hongyu said seriously.

Hearing this, the feeling of fear suddenly surrounded Ji Que like water.

He suddenly remembered a detail, that when they returned to the mezzanine from the hole yesterday, he seemed to have seen no traces of dragging on the mezzanine board.

The mezzanine was covered with dust. He and Ning Hongyu crawled in once and there would always be traces left.

When I went back yesterday, it seemed that there was no such thing. Does this just prove Ning Hongyu's statement?

He couldn't help but remember the feelings he had born before - they were the only changes here.

The person who used the two tripods obviously didn't want any changes here.

Because it is not just Chen Li who has problems here, but the entire Changxuguan, and even this forest has problems.

Whether it is Chen Li or what appeared in the woods last night, once they leave this place, it will probably be a terrible thing.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu are both quite bold people, but they can't help but feel a little scared at this time.

This feeling is like you were happy to go to the swimming pool to swim, but suddenly you met a shark, absurd and terrifying.

You should know that Ji Que’s original purpose was to inquire about the ginseng fruit tree.

Even though they came this time, they just wanted to see the weirdness of this Taoist temple and determine whether what Chen Li said was worth referring to.

But

Ji Que couldn't help but remember Chen Laoshi's words, and the water here was probably very deep.

The kind that can drown people.

So he and Ning Hongyu quickly made a decision, which was "run".

This is indeed not something they can easily get involved in now.

It was cloudy and the world was dark. Before they left, they climbed up a tree.

Standing on the trees, they could not see the mottled red walls of Changxu View, but they could see Dan Lingzi walking alone.

The direction he went was exactly the direction of Changxu View.

Ji Que only felt a kind of heaviness.

He thought of fate.

Dan Lingzi went there every day, comforted Chen Li, then left in the darkness, died among the weeds, and was replaced by a new Dan Lingzi, repeating all this, like a mayfly that was alive and dying day and night.

This is Dan Lingzi's fate.

And what about their fate?

Should I avoid all this far, like I haven't been here before, or can I do something?

Over the past few days, they found that the time for Dan Lingzi to return to the Taoist temple was not the same, especially yesterday, Chen Li was so angry that he was almost crazy that he came back.

Does this mean that the balance here is not eternal.

Once this situation is broken, the world will face a Chen Li who doesn’t know what kind of changes will happen, and the terrifying things in the forest last night.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu left there.

The voyeurism these days made them see a corner of the secret, and they felt it was as ridiculous as a dream.

"I'm still too weak."

Ji Que couldn't help thinking.

This time, there is no slight self-worth, but true feelings.

If he is strong enough, he will be able to kill Chen Li and others, and there will be no worries in this regard.

"Ji Que, I want to help me practice."

"Survey up the peak, I want you to help me practice."

Suddenly, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu said in unison.
