Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 287 The Untamed 39

With a clearer goal, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying worked with great enthusiasm. Not only did they collect a lot of materials in the mass grave that were hard to find outside, they even packed up several zombies and asked the Yunmeng disciples to secretly send them back for the elders and interested disciples to study.

Moreover, after this series of actions, they also roughly figured out the topography of the mass grave, but they still haven't found the thing that gathers yin. After all, the original mass grave only had seven or eight hills, and now after hundreds of years, the mass grave is just a nickname. In fact, it is about the size of a medium-sized county. If they really want to draw a more detailed map, it will definitely take more than ten days or half a month of effort.

After working in the mass grave for nearly a month, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying came to Yicheng again, but they did not expect that they would meet Lan Zhan, Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen in Yicheng.

Lan Zhan has visibly matured, but Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen still look the same as they did back then. When they met, they smiled and greeted Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying, saying, "Sect Master Jiang, Young Master Wei, you two are more graceful than ever."

Jiang Xinxin also smiled and returned the greeting: "Back then I was just the Young Sect Master, now my child has become the Young Sect Master, how can it be the same?"

Wei Ying also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we are both different from Brother Wangji. The two Taoist priests have not changed much except that their cultivation has become more profound."

When there are outsiders around, Lan Zhan would never speak unless it is necessary. He would just silently pour tea for Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying. However, with his handsome appearance and his heavy and solid aura, no one could ignore his presence.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen were not good at small talk. After briefly explaining their recent situation, they didn't know what to say next. However, Wei Ying never let the conversation drop to the ground. He turned to talk about their recent experiences in the mass grave, successfully arousing Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen's interest in the mass grave.

However, even though everything in the mass grave became somewhat interesting in Wei Ying's mouth, it could not stop the fact that it was rapidly expanding and swallowing up the surrounding towns, so Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen came to Yicheng.

In this small inn, Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen both tried their best to express that they also wanted to participate in the cause of changing the mass grave. Although Lan Zhan did not say a word, his burning gaze was hard to ignore.

Since someone offered to help, Jiang Xinxin certainly wouldn't pretend to refuse. She directly took out the simple topographic map that she and Wei Ying had drawn together these days, and even drew the center location completely on it.

"The depth of the color here reflects the concentration changes of Yin Qi and resentment."

"Although generally speaking, the closer to the center, the higher the concentration of negative energy and resentment, but in fact there are still many places here that Xian and I have not explored or have only looked at in a hurry."

"Ah Xian and I both think that the mass grave did not become a place where yin gathered from the beginning. It should be that someone placed some kind of magical instrument that gathered yin inside, which is why the yin and resentment in the mass grave have been gathering for a long time."

"But we have been trying for almost a month and still haven't found any clues. We can only roughly guess that the thing should be hidden somewhere west or north of the center."

Indeed, since it is a magical weapon that gathers Yin, the place where it is located must be a place where Yin and resentment are more concentrated than other places. These two places appear to be only the size of a palm on the handkerchief-sized map, but in fact they cover at least a hundred miles in radius.

The five of them agreed to go in together early the next morning to check it out. Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying were not stingy with their protective items such as the Breath-Suppressing Talisman, and they also packed a lot of good wine and food, and then they entered the mass grave again chatting and laughing.

There are some things that everyone understands without having to say them. A place like the Yiling Mass Burial Mounds will definitely give birth to a ghost king with high cultivation. But in reality, hundreds of years have passed, and the most powerful creatures here are just zombies. Souls that have lost their minds can be seen everywhere, but none of them can recover their memories, let alone get the chance to grow into a ghost king.

To say that there is no reason behind this would be a joke, so not only Lan Zhan, but even Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen all agreed after hearing Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying's idea of ​​the Yin Gathering Artifact.

The five of them carefully climbed over the zombie jungle and entered the place where the ghosts gathered. Song Zichen couldn't help but say, "There is indeed something wrong here. If there really is no trace of human intervention, the zombie jungle we encountered before should also be full of ghosts, because zombies only attack living things, not any dead things. They can be in the same place as ghosts."

Xiao Xingchen and Lan Zhan also looked solemn. Wei Ying explained, "Acheng and I haven't had time to check the records about the mass graves, let alone the records of the towns that were later swallowed by the mass graves. This place is not close to the Jiang family, so the Jiang family doesn't have many records about the mass graves. Even the Yin-gathering artifact is our guess, so we can only use this stupid method to investigate."

Lan Zhan was the most worried. As a descendant of an aristocratic family, he understood better than Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen, the two people who lived outside the world, the horror of another ambitious person emerging in the world after Wen Ruohan. Especially since the other party seemed to have been planning in secret for many years, and the hundreds of immortal families had not yet found out any information at all.

Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying didn't think too much about it. Or rather, although they knew that someone was behind the scenes, they both believed that as long as the mass grave was solved, no matter what the person behind the scenes wanted to do, it would not succeed.

The efficiency of five people traveling together was indeed much higher than that of two people. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was because the other side of the world that did not give any benefits secretly helped them. In short, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying finally succeeded in finding a small temple that was so dilapidated that even the pillars and walls had turned black.

This small temple was embedded in the mountain wall, with only the gate tower slightly exposed. The two doors, which were supposed to be vermilion, had not only collapsed but had also turned shiny black, showing that they had been contaminated beyond recognition by the negative energy and resentment here.

The statue that was originally enshrined in this small temple has disappeared, and even the shrine is half collapsed. But behind the shrine, Wei Ying found a neat little door. If he hadn't been holding a torch, and the gap in the door looked different under the light of the fire, I'm afraid everyone would have overlooked it.

Everyone looked at each other and opened the hidden door with caution. Unexpectedly, it was not completely dark inside. There were man-made light wells in the four corners. However, in the current situation of the mass grave, even the light wells could not provide light.
