Chapter 336 The secret in the lair
With the guidance of the snake path, Huang Hao walked through the lush forest until he reached the mountain wall made of stones and stopped.
Looking at a stone cave as big as a round table among the piles of rocks on the mountain walls, a light suddenly appeared in Huang Hao's eyes.
"This stone cave must be the nest of the giant snake." Huang Hao came outside the stone cave and felt a stinky wind blowing out of the stone cave, accompanied by the stinky wind, and there was also a rotten smell.
Huang Hao listened carefully to the cave, but heard no movement. He immediately felt relieved and walked into it cautiously.
Although the entrance of the cave was a little narrow, even if Huang Hao was not particularly tall, he felt a little narrow, but after entering the cave, he suddenly felt enlightened. At this level of Huang Hao's cultivation level, he could already see things at night. With the magic of the Eye of Extreme Water, Huang Hao could see everything in the cave clearly, which was no different from during the day.
This should be a natural cave, with the surrounding stone walls extremely smooth, obviously formed by the impact of water flows over the years. But for some reason, although the cave is wet at this moment, there is no trace of water flow.
Huang Hao continued to go deeper into the cave, but found that the deeper the cave, the more forks there were, and he would lose his way if he accidentally got lost.
At this moment, Huang Hao stood in front of the two caves, thinking about how to choose. Huang Hao himself also understood that this cave was like a huge maze, one by one, one by one. Once he took a wrong step, he would probably make mistakes again and again. He didn't know when he would find the place where the giant snake would live.
After waiting for a while, Huang Hao suddenly had an inspiration.
By the way, it is the rotten smell in the air. There is a flow of air flowing out from time to time in the depths of the cave, while the air flowing out of one of the stone caves has a faint rotten smell. This giant snake has been worshipped by the Shen family for a lot of blood. I guess this rotten smell is conveyed from the place where the giant snake lives.
Following the smell of rotten smell, Huang Hao kept shuttled between the forks one by one. After passing through more than a dozen forks, Huang Hao was really a little grateful. If it weren't for the smell of rotten smell, he would have been lost among the numerous caves.
Suddenly, Huang Hao's eyes lit up again. Before he knew it, Huang Hao actually found himself in a huge cave. After entering the cave, the rotten smell in the air immediately became rich.
"It seems that this is the habitat of the giant snake." Huang Hao looked at everything in the cave, and his heart was not moved. He saw that the cave was extremely messy. Huang Hao looked at it and saw that a corner of the cave was filled with white bones, which was a pile of bone mountains composed of human bones. Most of these bones were extremely small, and they could be seen as belonging to children at a glance. Many of the bones were extremely broken, and they were very likely violently crushed when entangled by the giant snake.
Seeing these bones, Huang Hao didn't have a lot of anger in his heart. If there were no giant snakes, the owners of these bones would probably be happy to enjoy their childhood by their parents.
When he walked to the bone hill, Huang Hao sighed, clasped his hands silently, and bowed three times to the bone hill. Then, Huang Hao bounced his fingers and a spark fell on the bone hill. In an instant, the bone hill burned.
The flames became more and more fierce, and soon completely surrounded the entire bone mountain.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Huang Hao's eyes moved and fell above the flames of the Bone Mountain. Above the Bone Mountain, a large number of fluttering white shadows were floating quietly above the flames. At first glance, these white shadows were all the same as children.
"Ghost? Are you ghosts?" Huang Hao pondered at the large white shadow above the flames, and suddenly spoke.
The white shadows did not speak, maybe they could not speak at all. However, when Bai Ying heard Huang Hao's words, she bowed to Huang Hao and bowed to him.
"You were swallowed by the giant snake, and the corpses are piled up here, so you cannot transcend. Now I have cremated your corpses with the fire of true essence, and now there is no longer anything to bind you. Now, go reincarnate, and commit to a good family in the next life and live a good life!" Huang Hao sighed, his tone full of solemnity.
After experiencing so much, Huang Hao is no longer a young boy. His experiences over the years, coupled with some knowledge in the medical immortal inheritance, have made Huang Hao understand that there is reincarnation in this world. These ghosts died because of unjustness, and the corpses have accumulated here all year round, which has made their ghosts unable to enter reincarnation and become a lonely and ghost-like existence. Huang Hao burned their corpses, which just lifted a shackle on their way to reincarnation and reopened their path to reincarnation.
However, when hearing Huang Hao's words, the ghosts seemed to have not heard them, and they kept kneeling at Huang Hao, with a strong look of pleading in their empty eyes.
Huang Hao stared at them, and an enlightenment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Is it because you are trapped here all year round that your yin energy has almost dissipated. Are you unable to walk the path of reincarnation?"
Hearing Huang Hao's words, the ghosts nodded quickly in agreement, and their kneeling speed became even faster.
"Well, since I have burned your corpse, even if it is contaminated with your cause and effect, I will refine a furnace of "Ghost Water" to help you reincarnate." Huang Hao did not look at the ecstasy on the faces of many ghosts. He immediately took out the bronze furnace and the fire of true energy was penetrated into it.
Afterwards, Huang Hao took out a lot of medicinal materials and threw them into the furnace. This Yin Soul Water is actually not a pill, but just some potions containing Yin attributes. As for the Yin attribute medicinal materials, they can be easily refined. As for the Yin attribute medicinal materials, they are actually just some ordinary medicinal materials with cold attributes. Huang Hao extracted the cold attributes in the medicinal materials, and then used the alchemy technique to refine them into Yin attributes.
The whole process was not very difficult. With Huang Hao’s current insights on alchemy techniques, he could easily refine it. In just a quarter of an hour, Huang Hao had already refined the water of the ghost.
Feeling the breath of the ghost water, the eyes of the ghosts above the flames suddenly showed excitement.
"Okay, the water of ghosts here is enough for you to wash out the yin energy again." Huang Hao reached out and slapped the bronze furnace cauldron, and a stream of true energy shocked the water of ghosts in the bronze furnace cauldron. In an instant, a stream of cold water vapor rose like smoke.
When the ghosts saw the water vapor rising from the ghost water, they rushed towards the water vapor like evil ghosts who had been hungry for many days.
Something strange happened. After being contaminated with the water vapor turned into by the ghost water, these ghosts that originally looked and were truly solidified and became much clearer.
At this time, Huang Hao saw that these ghosts were all pairs of twins, both men and women. The oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was actually a hungry baby.
"Okay, since the ghost energy on your body has recovered, then go and reincarnate quickly." Huang Hao said with a sigh, his tone full of compassion: "The giant snake has been killed by me, and your great revenge has been avenged. You don't need to worry anymore."
Many ghosts were surprised and saw a crack in a mountain wall not far away. A cold wind blew over from the crack. Seeing the crack, many ghosts began to flew into the crack and disappeared.
Huang Hao looked at this scene and was also surprised by the magic of reincarnation.
"Thank you for avenging us and gathering the power of ghosts again!" At this moment, a voice came from where the ghosts gathered, but saw an old-looking ghost coming out from the crowd and said gratefully to Huang Hao.
"Since I have killed that giant snake monster, the cause and effect here is considered contaminated, and helping you is just a slight effort." Huang Hao saw that there was an adult in the ghost, and there was no difference in his eyes.
"Haha, don't be surprised by the Supreme Immortal." The middle-aged ghost seemed to have guessed Huang Hao's doubts, so he explained: "I am the elder of the Tang Sect. After a chance traveling here, he suddenly felt that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the mountains was abnormal, so he planned to come and check it out. Unexpectedly, he encountered this giant snake, which was swallowed by him. Because of his resentment, and the corpse was left in this cave, I was unable to reincarnate for a long time."
"But over the years, as a wandering soul, I have figured out the secret in this cave. The reason why the giant snake has been here for several years is for this secret!" The middle-aged ghost said to Huang Hao: "The Supreme Immortal can kill the giant snake, it must be the one in the Hidden Sect. I am willing to tell the Supreme Immortal where this secret is, and repay the great kindness of the Supreme Immortal to us."
Huang Hao's eyes flashed, and he looked at the middle-aged ghost, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of the middle-aged ghost's words.
The middle-aged ghost didn't urge him. He looked at Huang Hao quietly, his eyes extremely sincere.
"Okay, if your secret is useful to me, I will repay you." Huang Hao looked at the middle-aged ghost calmly: "I guess you came out for my words at this moment."
When the middle-aged ghost heard this, he smiled awkwardly, but did not deny it: "The Supreme Immortal, I really want to ask the Supreme Immortal for help, but if the Supreme Immortal is unwilling, I will tell you that secret."
Huang Hao nodded, but did not refuse: "Okay, as long as you need my help is within my ability, I promise you. Of course, the premise is that you will tell me this secret."
"That's natural, thank you, the immortal!" When the middle-aged ghost heard this, he actually bowed to Huang Hao solemnly again with excitement, and then floated to Huang Hao: "Great immortal, I'm here to lead you."
