  Chapter 687 Soul Core

   "The leader of the Ghost Cult?"

   After He Cangwu finished speaking, Li Chen was slightly taken aback.

  Sasheng Temple and Ghost Sect are the confrontation between the old and new forces in southern Xinjiang.

  The Ghost Cult has been at a disadvantage several times before.

   Later, at the Fenyu Conference, the ghost sect bowed to the Shasheng Temple, and then it was considered superior.

   I don’t know if there are any new changes after the mysterious Ghost Cult leader left the customs.

  The Renyuan doll transformed by He Cangwu can actually survive without the giant bone tree.

   But he still likes the feeling of hanging on the treetops.

  Because Li Chen's whole body was covered by the 'misty smoke', Jackdaw couldn't see his expression, so he just continued to say tentatively: "Besides, as soon as he left the customs, he connected with the people from the Huangquan sect in Kyushu."

   "The Underworld Sect?"

  Hearing this name, Li Chen couldn't help frowning.

  The Yellow Spring Sect is the number one demon sect in the world. Its members are spread all over the Kyushu and the eight wildernesses.

  Compared with Huangquan Sect, Ghost Sect is like a drop in the bucket, insignificant.

   I don’t know how this leader got on the line with Huang Quanjiao.

   It's just that southern Xinjiang is located in a remote place, and the Huangquan sect may not make a move easily.

  No matter what, the Ghost Cult must have ulterior motives and must be guarded against.

"I see."

  After thinking for a while, Li Chen took out five renyuan fruits, and used the method recorded in "Sheji Gong" to melt the renyuan fruits and enter the Jackdaw's body.

  Compared to eating the human yuan fruit directly, this method is more efficient.

   Jackdaw shuddered, and immediately entered a state of meditation.

   Li Chen didn't bother, he thought for a while and walked to the giant bone tree.

   At this time, the giant bone tree is densely filled with words.

  This is where members exchange information.

  Li Chen looked around, but there was very little news about Nanjiang and Shasheng Temple.

  Thinking about his recent experience, he wrote four rewards on the trunk of the tree: 'Eight Princes', 'Xuan Qin Sect', 'Yellow Spring Sect' and 'Linyuan Pavilion'.

   Xuan even left the southern country directly.

  After leaving the southern country, Li Chen began to have distracting thoughts.

  Sitting in front of the Bukong Waterfall, I couldn’t calm down to comprehend it.

  But at this time, the sound of worshiping the mountain came from the foot of Bukong Mountain.

   Li Chen directly opened the barrier, and a monk came in after a while.

   Taking a closer look, it was none other than Senior Brother Li Xu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

  Li Xu was very interested in magic tricks, so after the establishment of the Wulu Chanyuan, he was sent to Muduo Mountain as the deacon of the outer sect.

  After Li Chen returned to the temple this time, he didn't go to Muduo Mountain, but he didn't expect Senior Brother Li Xu to find him instead.

   "Amitabha."

   "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, is everything okay?" Li Chen put his hands together and smiled slightly.

  Monk Lixu heard the words, and hurriedly worshiped: "Amitabha, please take care of the Buddha."

  This senior brother Li Xu is good at everything, but his behavior is too strict, and he will inevitably seem alienated when getting along.

  Seeing this, Li Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, why are you so restrained."

  Monk Lixu touched his bald head, and said with guilt on his face: "It really shouldn't disturb Buddha's practice."

  Li Chen shook his hand: "I happen to have nothing to do here, I wonder what's important, brother?"

   After speaking, he pointed to the boulder in front of him, signaling Li Xu to sit down.

  Monk Lixu bowed to Lichen first, and then carefully sat down under Lichen.

   "Buddhist, do you still remember how many souls you left in Wulu Temple before you left the temple?"

   Li Chen was taken aback when he heard the words.

  Before going down the mountain this time, he made a special trip to Muduo Mountain.

  According to the records in "Qiqiao Gongkao", several souls in the Infernal Dungeon were sealed into the soul-cultivating wood to make the core of the mechanism.

  In this way, as long as the core is inserted into the mechanism, the mechanism will be able to produce intelligence, and the actions will be more flexible and tacit.

  Recalling this episode, Li Chen nodded: "Brother, are you talking about the five soul-cultivating wood cores I left behind at that time?"

   "That's right, it's the core of the five soul-cultivating woods." Monk Li Xu hurriedly responded.

   "According to the instructions of the Buddha, Mr. Muduo rewarded the five soul-cultivating wood cores to the outstanding disciples."

   "But yesterday in the Qianji Cave of Muduo Mountain, the totem corresponding to one of the soul wood cores suddenly burst into blood."

  After each soul is sealed in the soul wood, it will leave a totem imprint in the Muduo Mountain Cave.

  Thus, the abnormality of the soul wood can be perceived from the change of the totem.

   But the totem was left by Li Chen back then, and the others didn't know what this change represented.

   "Bleeding?"

   "I don't know which soul the soul wood corresponds to?"

   "Leopard Soul!"

   "Leopard Soul?"

   Li Chen's mind turned, and he still had some impression of that leopard soul.

  Back then, Monk Ji Le poisoned the three elders of the Shasheng Temple with the 'Bi Luo Shen Needle'.

  They didn't know that Li Chen had already seen everything, so he used his plan and set up a dragon gate array in the Killing Temple, and directly sent a urn to the Wanshou Villa to catch the turtle.

   And that leopard soul was the leader of a leopard beast that was killed at that time.

  The strength is quite extraordinary.

  So Li Chen simply put it into the Infernal Dungeon to wash away the karma, and then sealed it into the soul wood to make the core.

   "Totem change?"

   "This shows that the soul is different!"

  Thinking of this, Li Chen hurriedly asked, "Who did you give that spirit soul to?"

   As soon as the words fell, Monk Lixu blurted out: "Chen Dong!"

   "In the previous annual competition of Wulu Chanyuan, Chen Dong won a complete victory, so Mr. Mu Duo rewarded him with a soul wood core, which is exactly the leopard soul."

   "Chen Dong?"

  Hearing this name, Li Chen instantly remembered the rough man with scars on his face back then.

  He can clearly remember that this Chen Dongnai is the reincarnation of 'Ear-digging Arhat'.

  But because of the blood and deep hatred, he declined Li Chen Luofa's request to become a monk.

  At that time, he also said, when did he avenge his blood, and when did he willingly enter the temple to become a monk.

   "It turned out to be him."

   "Then where is he now?"

   "A few days ago, senior brother Li Geng went down the mountain to eliminate demons."

   "Go down the mountain to eliminate demons?"

  Hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help frowning.

   "Yes, three days ago, I went to the village north of Lihuo Town to get rid of demons with Senior Brother Li Geng."

   After finishing speaking, he told the story of Chen Dong meeting Qiao Shan at that time.

   "Fox demon? What kind of fox demon dares to make trouble at the foot of our Shasheng Temple?"

   "Do you want to be reincarnated?"

   Li Chen frowned, there must be a demon if something goes wrong.

   Immediately said: "Senior brother, I, Shasheng Temple, and the monster race are in conflict. Ordinary monster races will never dare to appear in our territory."

   "And the totem in the Qianji Cave is closely related to the soul wood. The blood on the totem is probably due to the difference in the soul."

   "It seems that senior brother Li Geng and Chen Dong are in trouble."

   "I must send my disciples to respond to this matter quickly, lest things change!"

   Li Xu was shocked when he heard the words, hurriedly bid farewell to Li Chen, and hurried down the mountain.

   Caught off guard, it is the last day of 2022. This year is going by especially fast. The year-end summary is just one sentence: I am busy all day, and I still can’t make money. I wish you all a safe New Year's Eve and good luck in the coming year.
