Chapter 223: Six-Handed Twelve-Eyed Drought Demon (Today is a short chapter, sorry)

Xiangxi, in front of Tianqiao Mountain, Yuan River.

Ye Lianchen watched with his own eyes as the three people from the Hanging Coffin Gorge took out many things from the cave stone and put them on the ground, leaving them to Shi Buyu. After Shi Buyu nodded, they turned and left.

The thirteen ice coffins, including himself, were dragged by a magic power, followed behind them, and flew into Tianqiao Mountain.

With a loud shout from Shi Buyu, the entire caravan moved forward again and stopped at the gate of Tianqiao Mountain. For the Water Gang, this was considered truly doing business. Trading rare corpses was just a side matter.

And Ye Lianchen only saw the strangeness of this mountain after approaching Tianqiao Mountain.

The mountain body of Tianqiao Mountain was pitch black. Looking from afar, it looked like a wooden stake standing on the ground. There was no peak on the top, flat like a knife cut, and round like a bucket all around, as if it were a whole. If you look at it with the dark clouds on the top, it looks like a thick black Ganoderma.

Ye Lianchen felt strange when looking from afar. How could there be such a huge and regular mountain.

Now that he was close, he could see that this was not a mountain at all!

This was formed by countless thin mountains that were equally straight and flat-topped, clustered together!

It is more appropriate to call it a thin mountain, or a child mountain. That is also compared to the whole Tianqiao Mountain. In fact, the smallest of each child mountain is tens of zhang wide.

These child mountains are straight, with cliffs on all four sides, and a gap of ten or twenty zhang is left between each child mountain.

So at this time, being close, you can see many vertical slits on the outer edge of Tianqiao Mountain. At this time, many people poured out of these slits, all in black clothes and black faces, landed on the river bank, and guided the people of the Water Gang to dock.

However, soon, Ye Lianchen could no longer see the situation outside. He was taken into one of the slits.

Both sides of this slit were high mountains, and the top was still covered with dark clouds, so even though it was broad daylight outside, it was pitch black inside.

It wasn't until he operated his Green Eyes that he could see the situation in the mountain.

He was taken floating in the gap between the mountains, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. He immediately reacted. This Tianqiao Mountain is a maze!

He looked down and looked down. In the winding slit mountain road, teams of walking corpses jumped and walked, like ants marching. Looking closely at the cliffs on both sides, they were densely covered with coffins, like a honeycomb!

Even he couldn't help but sigh at this formation. How many walking corpses are there inside?

"Shi Toad's goods this time are really timely!"

Ye Lianchen suddenly heard the three in front start talking. One of them spoke first, his voice hard to hide his excitement.

"Not bad! Fire evil rare corpses, thirteen of them. Hurry up and send them to the Temple Master to take a look. That 'Purple Fire Rotten Peach Malevolence' has just been born, and the fire nature is fierce. These rare corpses fished out from the evil acupoint should be qualified to refine a Drought Demon! The Temple Master will be overjoyed when he knows!"

Another person took the conversation and said.

"Our Fire Temple lineage has waited for more than a hundred years, and finally we see a landing!"

The last person said.

Drought Demon?

Ye Lianchen felt a shock in his heart.

This journey was winding and winding, and it took a long time to stop. Finally, they came to a place where red light was emitting from the soil.

"Thump!"

The coffin landed.

Ye Lianchen saw a mountain cave directly in front, and the cave was filled with bright red light, as if it were burning fire. Several characters were engraved on the top of the cave,

"Thousand Light Fire King Temple"

The three walked to the entrance of the cave and saluted respectfully. One of them said,

"E Zhifeng requests to see the Temple Master."

"What is it?"

After a while, a low voice came from the cave.

"Temple Master, we have collected a batch of fire evil rare corpses and would like to ask you to take a look."

"Come in!"

This time, the person inside replied quickly, and the voice also had a sense of urgency.

So the three walked in, and the thirteen coffins followed behind.

The whole way was pitch black like night, but the soil here was emitting red light. The light made Ye Lianchen a bit uncomfortable, and at the same time reminded him of the days of refining elixirs in Danxia Mountain. However, in Danxia Mountain, the fire light there was bright and hot, like the sun, while the fire light here was bright red, like blood.

After entering the cave, Ye Lianchen found that it was going all the way down, deep into the ground. At the same time, the fire light seeping out of the soil around it was becoming more and more dazzling. After walking for half a quarter of an hour, the coffin stopped again.

The heat wave steamed, as if it had come to some sea of fire, and the ice coffin slowly melted here.

At this time, Ye Lianchen finally saw what was inside this so-called "Thousand Light Fire King Temple."

Just looking at this, it was even more disgusting than the scene in Qin Tianzong's Yin tripod that day!

Under this cave was a huge fire pond, ten zhang in radius, with blood as oil in the fire pond, burning bright red flames. A person, or a corpse, was lying in the fire pond. This corpse was six zhang tall, and Ye Lianchen operated his Dharma eye, looking at it as the true appearance of the flesh body, not some Dharma appearance illusion.

The corpse looked like a strong man in his forties or fifties, lying on his back in the fire pond, completely red, and various strange and mysterious talismans were drawn on it.

The corpse's face was ferocious, as if it had suffered great pain when it died. Even though the face was already stiff, the anger could still be seen from its wide-eyed eyes.

And the strangest part of this corpse was its eyes and arms.

Six hands grew on the corpse's shoulders! And there was an eye on the back of each of those six hands!

A strange corpse with six hands and eight eyes!

The monstrous evil spirit and the majestic heat wave radiated from this fierce corpse.

And around this giant corpse, there were densely floating hundreds or thousands of arms and eyeballs!

These arms were large and small, human and demonic, and the pupils were red and green, round and vertical, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

It was clear that the extra hands and eyes on the fierce corpse were not born, but added later.

And in the fire pond, beside the head of the fierce corpse, there was a blood lotus, as big as a millstone, sitting on it was a person, but when Ye Lianchen looked carefully, he found it was not a person, but a mountain demon wearing clothes!

The mountain demon was tall, dressed in clothes no different from a person, but the white face and red nose looked very scary.

"What fire evil rare corpse, open it and see."

The mountain demon spoke human words.

So, a demon opened a coffin.

"Hmm?"

In the blink of an eye, the mountain demon disappeared from the blood lotus and came to the ice coffin.

The mountain demon's huge red nose sniffed, and then bright light flashed in the pair of white eyes and red pupils, and the voice was hard to hide his surprise,

"Where did it come from?"

The leader of the three answered respectfully,

"Back to the Temple Master, bought from the Water Gang. Master Shi of the Water Gang and his subordinate have a good personal friendship. Before, I asked him to keep an eye on the fire corpse for me. This time, he finally gave me an explanation. It is a rare corpse fished out from the current Purple Evil Dragon Acupoint and the previous Rotten Peach Mountain underground fire acupoint."

The mountain demon nodded. "Not bad, reward!"

"Thank you, Temple Master, for your grace!"

The three nodded and bowed.

"Open them all."

The mountain demon said.

The three opened all the coffins.

"Eh?! Why is one empty!"

One of them shouted.

Everyone looked over, and saw that among a row of thirteen ice coffins, one was indeed empty!

"What's going on?"

The mountain demon asked.

The three knelt down directly.

"It must be that Shi Toad who deceived me! Everyone said that the toad is a gold-swallowing toad, I didn't expect that even I dared to deceive!"

E Zhifeng shouted.

"Didn't you open and count when you received the corpse?"

The mountain demon asked.

E Zhifeng shouted, "At that time, these ice coffins were piled up in the Water Gang's goods. The subordinate only checked the two on the top, and believed that Shi Toad. Temple Master, wait a moment, the Water Gang is doing business at the mountain gate now, the subordinate will go find him!"

"Forget it!"

The mountain demon shouted, "Who told you not to count face-to-face, what's the use of finding him now! And the Land Gang is against us, is it possible that we still want to have a conflict with the Water Gang?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The three kowtowed repeatedly.

"Twelve, it should be enough. Now only four eyes are missing to refine the twelve-eyed Drought Demon. I have been refining for so many years, and I have dug out thousands of eyes, and my hands are familiar."

The three kowtowed again, "The Temple Master has great magical powers, and the method of refining corpses is unique in the world. You will definitely be able to refine the Drought Demon!"

The mountain demon waved his hand, his gestures were no different from a person,

"This time we must succeed. Now Tianqiao Mountain is our Fire Temple that is declining, and it is time to show off."

Speaking of this, the mountain demon shook his head and sighed,

"That Cao Jin is too clever, only went to the Soul-Lost Stream. If he came to Tianqiao Mountain, that dragon meat is good stuff. Others can be given to the other four temples, but I am really greedy for his eight arms."

The three dared not answer.

"Okay, retreat, take my token and go to the Yi-character cellar to receive the reward. Each person can pick one corpse. In addition, I want to lock the temple and refine the Drought Demon with all my heart. No one is allowed to disturb!"

The mountain demon threw a token to the leader.

The man took it, and the three kowtowed and left.

And following the three was an ape corpse released by the mountain demon, a walking corpse in the Golden Core realm.

Afterward, the sound of closing the door and locking the temple came in from outside.

Ye Lianchen, who was hiding in the void with the 【Hidden】 character curse and carrying the "Xuanji Wulou Talisman," watched all this quietly by the fire pond. And he could see that the Dharma power fluctuation and aura pressure emitted from the ape corpse were stronger than the mountain demon himself.

After the people were gone, the mountain demon waved his hand, and the twelve corpses in the coffin flew into the air and were thrown into the fire pond.

Among these corpses were Miao friends Ye Lianchen made at the Qili River market, people from Baiman Mountain he didn't know, and Shu Mountain Daoists who died in his hands.

But now, the people of various sects who fought to the death during their lifetime, after being smoked into red corpses by fire evil for twenty years, were dug out again and sold to Xiangxi as materials for refining evil corpses.

The world is impermanent to this extent.

However, there was not much time left for Ye Lianchen to sigh. Looking at the many corpses flying in the air, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and it was likely the only opportunity.

So he also flew up silently, and fully urged the "Xuanji Wulou Talisman," trying not to produce any fluctuations in spiritual energy and aura. He hid under one of the corpses, and fell into the fire pond with many other corpses, splashing blood.

The twelve corpses finally floated on the water, but Ye Lianchen was hidden in the fire pond, without any waves.
