“You just told me these things so simply?”
"From the moment you land on the island, you are considered a dead person." The man said.
“But some of the people who went to the island a few times before got out alive.”
“That’s because they entered from the seaside and did not go deep, otherwise they would not have been able to get out alive.” The man in a robe explained.
“Can you tell me how you survived for hundreds of years?”
“Me?” The man stared at Wang An in silence for a while.
Ga, at this moment, a strange bird fell from the sky and landed on the eaves of the side. It stared at the two people in the yard below. The bird was shaped like a crested ibis, with most of its feathers being blue, and it was bigger than a pigeon. Slightly larger.
“Hey, I got it, I’ll do it right away. It’s rare to have someone to talk to me.” The man in a robe waved at the bird.
"I have to send you away. You will see those people soon. People, sometimes life is worse than death." He turned to Wang And and said.
“Is this bird from the mountain?” Wang An also turned to look at the bird.
"Well, he came from the mountain." After the man finished speaking, he sank and rushed towards Wang An at a very fast speed, leaving an afterimage in the air, and at the same time, something floated from his body. When it comes out, it's as light as pollen.
Wang An casually waved his left hand, and the man flew out and hit the bluestone on the side. He then raised his hand to move away from the blue bird standing on the eaves. The blue bird's body trembled and rolled down from the roof. Come, fall to the ground and die.
"You, you are also a cultivator?!" The man who hit the bluestone had his eyes wide open and his face was full of shock.
“Yes, let’s talk again?”
“Well, okay, let’s talk.” The man was stunned, looked at the dead strange bird on the ground, and nodded.
Just now, Wang An knocked him away with a casual blow, but he was very frightened. Even the few people on the mountain were afraid that was all. He also spent some time in the mountains.
“Let’s talk about what’s going on on this island first. Why do they use people to make elixirs?”
“There were some Qigong practitioners on this island.” The man sat on the ground and talked about what he knew about Fanghu Island.
It turns out that there were some Qi practitioners on this island, and their orthodoxy can even be traced back to the Pre-Qin period.
They practice on this treasure island and understand the mystery of immortality. Day after day, year after year.
During this period, some people would also go to the island by boat, either to obtain elixirs or to seek immortality. Some people stayed to practice with the people on the island, and some people made elixirs or immortal herbs and left by boat.
During this period, the monks on these islands were indeed as described in the novel, and they could be called worldly masters.
But I don’t know since when, the Qi Refiners on this island have changed. Perhaps they discovered that by refining Qi and taking elixirs, they can only live for two to three hundred years at most and cannot achieve immortality. When they grow old, they want to achieve true immortality, so they begin to make various attempts.
The initial attempt was considered an exploration, and it was still within the normal range. However, they gradually deviated from the right path, and they began to conduct experiments on living people. Once you embark on this evil path, it is not easy to turn back.
The man in front of him has been able to survive for more than two hundred years because he passed a special experiment and gained some ability similar to that of a snake.
Most snakes only live a few decades at most, but some snakes can live for hundreds of years.
The qigong master on the island once caught a dragon snake in the sea by chance. Using its flesh and blood, a special method has been designed to make people's life span exceed the limit. And human trials were conducted, and he was one of the successful subjects.
The man in front of me only knows part of the history. If you want to know more, you need to go up the mountain.
The status of people practicing on this Fanghu Island is divided into high and low status. Those with high status are on the mountain, while those with low status are in the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain. It's like the inner sect and the outer sect of the sect described in the novel.
“How many people are there on the mountain?”
“There should be two.” The man in the robe said.
On the island, near the sea, a speedboat approached the beach, and a heavily armed team boarded the island.
Looking at the quiet, jungle-covered island in front of them, this ten-person team all felt their hearts beat.
It would be a lie to say that they are not afraid. Several teams have landed on the island before them, but most of those people failed to leave the island, and no one knows what happened on it. None of them want to be next.
“The above asked us to pay attention to that person’s actions. Do you remember that person’s appearance?”
“Remember, captain, the first problem we have to face is how to find that person.”
"Taoist temple, go to that Taoist temple first. There are signs left by the previous teams on the road. If you follow the signs, you won't get lost. No matter what the outcome is, we have to leave the island before dark, understand?"
"clear!"
After checking the equipment, the team entered Fanghu Island, passed through the forest according to the marks left by the previous team, and successfully arrived in front of the Taoist temple.
Looking at the quiet Taoist temple in front of them, everyone was on tenterhooks.
“Group A followed me into the Taoist temple, while Group B stayed outside to guard.” The captain made a cleanup.
"receive."
The first group of five people followed the battle and just entered the Taoist temple. They searched the main hall and side halls one by one. Soon they found a mark left by the previous team on a pillar of the Taoist temple.
Very hasty notes.
“Is there anyone?!”
Several team members looked at each other and saw strong worry in each other's eyes. There is no doubt that the person mentioned above must be someone outside the team.
“Continue!” The captain made a gesture, and they entered the backyard, and then saw a man falling to the ground.
Several people immediately raised their guns and aimed at the man, only to see that half of the man's face was covered with strange snake scales.
"who are you?"
“Oh, someone is here again?!” The man collapsed on the ground, unable to move, but he could speak.
“How many mortals?” Seeing the fully armed warriors, he sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
"Has anyone been here before us?" the captain asked hurriedly after hearing this.
“I’ve been here, I’ve left.”
“Where has he gone?”
“On the mountain.” Although the man could not move, his eyes could move, and his eyes were looking at the mountain.
“On the mountain?”
The captain looked up at the mountain peak behind the Taoist temple, looking at the clouds and mist. It was obviously not far away, but he couldn't see what was on the mountain at all.
“Have you been living on this island?” The captain looked down at the man who collapsed on the ground. The man did not speak.
“I’m asking you something!”
That person still didn’t speak.
“What should we do?” The soldier next to him looked at the captain.
“Give him a tranquilizer and lock him up.”
The soldier next to him immediately took out the injection, injected the man with an anesthetic, and then tied him up with a special rope. Then they began to search the house at the back and found the alchemy room inside, as well as the skulls and skeletons.
“Captain, this is not something that a serious Taoist temple should have!” Looking at these things in front of them, these soldiers got goosebumps.
“Retreat!” The captain immediately ordered a retreat.
When they arrived at the yard and were about to leave with the tied man, one of the team members suddenly shook his head and then patted his head with his hand.
“What’s wrong?” The captain on the side noticed his unusual behavior.
“I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel dizzy.”
“Dizziness, is it because of the energy radiation nearby?” The captain immediately realized something was wrong.
"have no idea."
“Hurry up and leave!”
As soon as they left the Taoist temple, the soldier who felt dizzy just started vomiting, and the vomit blocked the respirator of the gas mask. The companions on the side hurriedly took off the gas mask he was wearing, but he continued to vomit and soon passed away. He had convulsions all over his body, shortness of breath, and within a very short period of time, his face turned blue and his eyes turned white.
“Damn, what’s going on?!”
“He’s been poisoned!” the medical soldier in the team said after checking.
“Hurry up and get treatment!”
The medics injected him with an antidote and a cardiotonic shot.
“Captain, we have to leave immediately!” the medical soldier said.
Just after he finished speaking, a soldier next to him showed the same symptoms.
“Retreat!”
After emergency treatment, the captain immediately ordered a retreat.
On the island, in the mountains, there are clouds and mist.
There is a narrow path between the mountains, cut with stone steps, leading directly to the mountain. On the path, a person climbed up the steps.
The road disappeared halfway up the mountain. The path that originally passed between two huge boulders was blocked by the rocks. There are several ancient characters on a huge stone on the left.
Wang An raised his head and took one look, then jumped up and flew up the mountain.
This mountain has lush forests, strange pines and rocks, and mountain streams. However, the fog is too thick and the visibility is less than ten meters.
In mid-air, Wang An felt a very strong aura, and then flew towards it. Soon he saw pavilions and pavilions on the top of the mountain. I vaguely saw a person on the corridor of the rock wall.
With a flash of his body, Wang An arrived at the corridor on the rock wall.
