"Green Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger." Tang Ning muttered: "In other words, you actually know nothing about them. You have never seen their true appearance, and you don't know their names."

Wrinkle Yinglong said: "You can say that."

"Except for the senior leaders of the Immortal Cult, the leader, the elders, and the protectors, do you know the remaining dozen or so members of the cult?"

"Ordinary believers usually walk around the main altar without covering their faces. The younger generation will naturally recognize this, but most of their origins are not clear." Wrinkle Yinglong replied.

"Well, are you willing to help me destroy this sect in one fell swoop?"

"Senior is so kind to me for saving my life, but this junior is so heartbroken, even if I go through the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire, I will not give up even if I die. If my senior has orders, then just give them, I'm afraid..."

"If you have anything to say, say it."

"I'm afraid that this junior is not strong enough. There are dozens of people in the Immortal Sect, and the leader and elders are all foundation-building monks. It would be difficult for the seniors and juniors alone to destroy them in one fell swoop, which would implicate the seniors."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "No need for you to do anything, as long as you draw the faces of the believers in the album and tell them where they are hiding."

"This matter is very easy. I don't know whether seniors have any good strategies to deal with the Immortal Sect."

"To be honest, I am a disciple of Qian Yi Sect. I have interacted with the Immortal Sect you mentioned before and know a lot about their details. The information you provided this time is very important, and I will report it to the sect. , then the sect will send people to encircle and eradicate them."

"It turns out that the senior is the immortal envoy of the Qianyi Sect. It is only a matter of seconds to wipe out the Immortal Sect in this way. The senior said that he has dealt with them before, but I wonder who they are? What kind of skills do they practice that are so weird?"

Tang Ning said: "This is not some kind of skill. The reason why those protectors, elders, and sect leaders were able to obtain immortality was because there was a weird bug controlling them in their bodies, so they would do something as ridiculous as eating human flesh alive. Appalling things.”

"In fact, they are already walking zombies. All the internal organs in their bodies have been eaten clean by the bugs. Once the bugs leave their bodies, they will die instantly."

"But they used to only eat mortal flesh and blood, and they didn't have that kind of self-healing ability. It seems that the insects have evolved and their appetite has changed. They have to have the flesh and blood of monks to satisfy their stomachs."

Cree Yinglong was quite horrified when he heard this: "What kind of insect is that? It's so weird?"

"We don't know yet, and it remains to be investigated. If we can capture the leader of the Immortal Cult this time, we may be able to solve this mystery. Just follow me! I will take you to a safe place and rest for a few days. When the sect members come down, they will also want to find out about the situation of the Immortal Cult from you."

"Yes, I will follow your senior's instructions."

Tang Ning waved his hand, and the spiritual power enveloped him and he disappeared into light.

After traveling for a day, we arrived at a Taoist temple in the north of Xuancheng County in the Central Plains.

It was late at night, and just as he was out of sight, two men came towards him. Seeing him, they quickly bowed and saluted.

"Is Fellow Daoist Zheng here?"

"I am meditating in the temple."

Tangning walked in, and Crepe Yinglong followed closely behind him.

Zheng Wei had already noticed that someone was coming. He opened his eyes and saw Tang Ning pushing the door open. He quickly stood up to greet her: "Tang Xianshi, why are you here? Do you have something important to do?"

Tang Ning would never come here unless he had nothing to do, so Zheng Wei saw him coming here late at night, so he asked this question.

"That's it..." Tang Ning told the whole story: "It's not convenient for me to place him there, so I brought him here. I want to inform the sect of this matter as soon as possible, and when the sect's people come down, I will interrogate him about the specific situation. .”

Zheng Wei nodded and said: "I see, I understand."

Tang Ning turned to Xu Yinglong and said, "You should rest here first. When the sect's men come down, I still need you to guide them." Xu Yinglong frowned and said, "I don't know when your sect will send people to encircle and suppress people.

I’m afraid they would have already evacuated by then.”

"Let's do this! You tell me the specific location of the general altar and mark it on the drawing. I will go and investigate it myself. Fellow Daoist Zheng, do you have the Beiyuan map book?"

"Tang Xianshi will wait a moment." Zheng Wei left the palace gate and returned shortly after, holding a thin atlas in his hand: "Only the topographic atlas of Chu State."

Tang Ning took the album, unfolded it, and found the direction of Beiyuan. Wrinkle Yinglong sat at the corresponding position and marked: "About this direction, there is a Taoist temple in the middle. There is a secret door in the main hall of the temple, which is where the main altar is. Senior, I need

Be careful, there are sentry monks around the Taoist temple. Once they find a stranger approaching, they will immediately ring the big bell to alert everyone."

"Can the leader of the Immortal Cult be observing here?"

"The leader occasionally comes to the main altar to issue decrees, but usually only the elders sit in the main altar."

"I understand." Tangning put away the album, left the room, turned into light and left, arriving at the Qianjun Mountain Intelligence Station.

"Uncle Tang, Tang Immortal Envoy." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Follow me." Tangning pointed at Kong Ji and said.

When the two came to the room, Kong Ji asked, "Uncle Master, what are your orders?"

Tang Ning took out the dossier and wrote down the entire incident, then handed it to him and said, "Immediately send urgent information to the sect."

"Yes." Kong Ji took the order and left.

……………

In Changhua County, Beiyuan, among the rolling mountains, a ray of light fell straight down, revealing the figure of a man with clear features and clear eyes. It was Tang Ning.

After leaving the intelligence station, he walked for about two days and arrived at the place marked on the atlas. He saw the Taoist temple standing between two mountains in the distance, which he thought should be the headquarters of the Immortal Cult.

He shrunk and escaped underground, all the way to the Taoist temple. His spiritual consciousness was released far away. The temple was deserted and cold, with no one around.

Have all the monks evacuated?

He groped into the main hall, found the secret door, sneaked in, and followed the secret passage to the underground.

But seeing the ruins of the empty basement, Tang Ning appeared from the ground.

It seems that the monks of the Immortal Cult have indeed evacuated, but they are very alert.

He searched the ruins for a while, but found no useful clues, so he left the Taoist temple.

Tangning didn't know that there was a pair of eyes quietly staring at him from the beginning to the end.

Between Can Huan's broken arms, a dilapidated stone lion opened its big dark eyes, watching every move of this strange visitor.

If you look carefully, there is a strange glint in its eyes. Until the uninvited guest goes away, the stone lion's dark eyes suddenly burst into light. The stone eyes actually came out of the mud body and exploded. The stone fragments flew and a black eye leaked out.

Eyeballs come.

In the dark secret room, a man opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Someone is targeting us."

"Oh? It seems that the kid who defected last time leaked the news. What should I do?" Another person asked

"Tell them to hide themselves and wait until the storm has passed before taking action."

"good."

……………

Tang Ning returned to the intelligence station and immediately wrote a file to inform the matter and asked Kong Ji to forward it to the sect.

Then he sent a letter to Zheng Wei, instructing Cree Yinglong to draw the appearance of the Immortal Cult monks in an atlas and distribute it to the disciples at various intelligence points. As soon as there is news, report it immediately.

……………

In the meeting hall of the Qianyi Sect's Secret Academy, Lu Xingxian was sitting at attention, next to him was Shen Wannian, the deacon of the Inspection Section, and opposite to him was Yang Wenhua, the deacon of the Forbidden Secrets Section.

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Yang, and Senior Uncle Tong, what do you mean by calling you and me here this time?" Shen Wannian asked.

"Probably it's about the corpse insect host! Uncle Tong talked to me about this matter yesterday. I expressed the hope that the Forbidden Secrets Department can participate in the whole process. I'm calling you and I to discuss it today, which must be for this reason!"

"What is the corpse insect host?" Shen Wannian asked in confusion.

Yang Wenhua said: "You have to ask Senior Brother Lu about this. Their intelligence department discovered this matter, and all the information came from them."

"It's a long story. I don't know when a strange monk appeared in Xingang. He has an immortal body. Research by the Forbidden Secret Department found that there is a strange bug in these people that sucks human blood. They are named corpse bugs..." While Lu Xingxian was talking, an old man with white hair and a childish face walked out.

The three of them quickly stood up and saluted, calling themselves Master Tong.

Tong Quan'an sat down at the main seat, waved his hand, and the three of them also took their seats.

"The three of you are called here this time because of the corpse bug issue that has appeared in recent years. Master Nephew Lu, please tell them the specific situation!"

"Yes." Lu Xingxian stood up and responded: "As I just said, corpse worms parasitize in the human body, eat human internal organs, and turn people into walking corpses. The corpse worms themselves provide blood supply and human metabolic functions. My dear Gain without dying."

"There is another intelligence today. An undead cult has appeared in Beiyuan. Its core members are all corpse insect hosts. According to our disciples, some kind of mutation has occurred in these corpse insect hosts."

"It can also be said to be an evolution. Its host not only has an immortal body, but also has a very strong self-healing ability. No matter what kind of damage it is, it can recover quickly. There is another point that is different from the corpse insect hosts found in the past. , these immortal cult hosts all feed on the flesh and blood of monks and no longer eat mortal bodies. I wonder if it is related to the changes in their abilities."

Tong Quan'an said: "We need to be vigilant about this matter. If these bugs really have the ability to continuously evolve, it will have a huge impact on the practice world. The leader also attaches great importance to this and requires us to find out everything."

"The investigation and suppression of external cult illegal organizations such as the Immortal Cult should have been supervised by the Inspection Division, but the matter involved corpse insects, and the Forbidden Secret Division requested to participate in order to fully study it. The source of the information was submitted by the Intelligence Division, so I intend for your three departments to work together to destroy the Immortal Cult, find out the mastermind behind it, and find out the truth behind the zombies."

"Yes." The three of them stood up and responded.

Tong Quan'an said: "As for the leader of the Immortal Cult, try to capture him alive and find out the secret of knowing the corpse bug."

Shen Wannian said: "How big is this immortal sect and what is its cultivation level?"

Lu Xingxian said: "According to the information, it is not large in scale. It is a small organization with only more than 20 people. There are only two foundation-building monks in the congregation. The leader is in the middle stage of foundation building and the elder is in the early stage of foundation building. After we found out, They are now hidden, and we have the images of their followers in our hands. As long as they do not leave Chu State, we will be able to investigate them sooner or later."

Shen Wannian said: "Since the other party is not strong, I think we can each send a foundation-building monk to lead Nuogan's disciples to investigate. There is no need to mobilize too many troops."

Yang Wenhua said: "But we need to assign good hands, otherwise it will be difficult to capture him alive. Since the opponent has an immortal body, it may be troublesome to fight."
