Chapter Seventy-Two: Prayer Array
The flying sword swept out of the spatial ring in an instant.
Li Yi'an took a step back and stepped on the flying sword, Xiao Tian firmly grasped Li Yi'an's neck, turned the tip of the sword, and the two quickly flew out.
But after ten breaths, Li Yi'an suddenly stopped in the air.
They entered it only a few hundred meters, ten breaths of time, and with all their strength, they didn't even leave this strange place.
What's even more strange is that judging from the scene in front of them, the two not only did not leave, but even went deeper and deeper into it.
In front of him, a larger Fallen Lotus Blood Fruit Fruit Tree appeared.
It's just that there is no upside-down corpse as Xiao Tian said.
Li Yi'an continued to fly, seeking a way out, and he was also a little flustered in his heart.
Undoubtedly, the weirdness once again enveloped the two.
"We don't have a reference here, Xiao Tian, in which direction are the upside-down people and the man-eating apes you sensed earlier? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Tian began to feel with all his strength again, and then pointed to the left.
"This direction, however, feels very close and far away!"
"No matter, let's go over and take a look first, this place is very weird, I don't know if I can go out!"
At that moment, Li Yi'an once again took the sword, moving in the direction that Xiao Tian said, and let Xiao Tian feel it at all times.
...
Man-eating apes are quite intelligent, and even appear in small gathering places and live in groups.
However, because of the environment in which it is located, there are lotus blood fruits and demon pills, so it is a place frequented by demon hunting teams and medicine pickers.
This time, they successfully found the place that Xiao Tian said before, but the scene in front of them made the two of them speechless.
Hundreds of undressed Terran corpses, as well as hundreds of man-eating apes, were hung upside down from trees.
The clothes scattered under the tree seemed to be the style of the Terran demon hunting team.
But the weird thing is not that, but these corpses, all of which are very ritualistic.
Without exception, their hands and feet were tied, and their heads were down, hanging upside down from thick branches.
Its hands are clasped together, and there is a sharp ring on its wrist and ankle, and the wound is extremely deep.
There is also a linear wound about an inch in diameter on the back of the hand, which runs through the ring of the left hand and the left foot, connecting the ring cut from the wrist with the ring at the ankle.
As you can imagine, when he was alive, blood gushed out from the annular wound on his ankle, and flowed from his ankle to the back of his hand.
Finally, it falls between the fingers of the palms until the blood runs out!
And the death was extremely miserable, some of the corpses were still fresh, the mouth was wide open, because of the blood congestion of the head, the head was bruised, and the eyes were protruding.
However, most of the corpses, exposed to the wind and sun, have shriveled, sunken cheeks and clumps of blood.
On the ground, due to yesterday's heavy rain, many petals of the Lotus Blood Fruit were knocked down by the rain.
When these petals are broken, the ground is dark red, and these scattered petals, as if they have been carefully embellished, are scattered on the ground very regularly.
A gust of wind blew, and the corpse on the branch shook slightly, making a sound.
'Squeak ~ Squeak ~ Squeak...'
"It's... What the hell is going on here?"
Li Yi'an fell from the flying sword, holding the sword in his right hand, and the other two flying swords in the ring swept out at the same time, levitating behind him
"Xiao Tian, do your best to investigate if there are any other creatures around!"
Xiao Tian closed his eyes and frowned, and said reassuring after a while
"There is no movement of living bodies around, so it should be safe for the time being. ”
Li Yi'an nodded, came to the bottom of a corpse, and used the tip of his sword to open the petals of the Falling Lotus Blood Fruit.
On the ground, there are some mysterious patterns, as if they can be depicted on the ground, and after last night's rainstorm, there is no blur at all.
He turned around and went underneath the other corpses.
Sure enough, there is this pattern everywhere with the hands folded and the fingers facing down.
In his mind, he connected all the patterns he had seen at this time, and spoke.
"Formation! This entire forest of Falling Lotus Blood Fruits is connected into a huge formation by these patterns."
Seeing this, Xiaotian also stepped on the route that Li Yi'an had taken and looked over one by one.
"Boss, can you tell what kind of formation this is?"
Li Yi'an nodded
"To be precise, this is a talisman array, drawn with heaven and earth as talisman paper, done in one go, what a big stroke. ”
When Xiao Tian heard about the rune array, he immediately thought of the rune sect, but saw Li Yi'an shaking his head.
"No, I'm not sure, in the Immortal Sect, it's not just the Rune Sect that uses this kind of rune array, there is also a sect."
"What?"
"Ghost Sect!"
"Ghost Sect?"
Li Yi'an explained
"The Ghost Sect, which mainly exorcises demons and subdues demons on weekdays, is the same as the Fu Sect, but its magic essence is different!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Tian was confused, he still didn't understand, although he knew about this ghost sect, he had no idea about this ghost sect.
Li Yi'an continued to explain
"The Fu Sect is mainly based on Fu, while the Ghost Sect is mainly based on sacrificial sacrifices and driving the spirit body, and there are even rumors that the Fu Sect and the Ghost Sect are originally one family, two veins! The Fu Sect looked down on the Ghost Sect, and the Ghost Sect didn't look down on the Fu Sect, and finally parted ways and became two sects!"
"Understood, this is a rune array, so it is more likely that the rune sect is more likely, but looking at these corpses, it is obviously a sacrifice, similar to a ritual, so it may be a ghost sect!"
"Yes!" Li Yi'an nodded, expressing affirmation.
Squeak squeak~
The corpse began to shake again, and Xiao Tian was creepy to watch.
"Boss, first collect your popular science time, and you can tell me, can we still get out alive today?" I even wonder if my perception is wrong!"
"It's not you who is wrong!"
Seeing Li Yi'an frowning, after looking around, Xiao Tian knew that Li Yi'an should have some ideas.
The flying sword behind him suddenly swept forward, ten meters away from him, and plunged into the ground, and the blade was half submerged.
There was no reaction around.
A cloudy wind blew by.
Suddenly there was a wail in the forest!
The dead corpses, as if they had life, suddenly opened their eyes and spoke.
Its appearance is unusually terrifying, and its voice is hoarse.
"Help me~"
"Help~"
"Please, save me~"
"Kill Me"
"Kill me!!"
And the ground where the flying sword was inserted was full of blood gushing out at this time.
With a sound of 'huh~', Li Yi'an retrieved his flying sword.
"This group of bastards is really a prison prayer array. ”
Xiao Tian didn't know why Li Yi'an was suddenly angry, but seeing his appearance, he obviously already knew what kind of talisman array this was.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"What do you think these corpses gesture like?"
Xiao Tian's heart moved: "Put your hands together, like praying, but what can you pray underground?"
"Hades! They are praying for the Hades in the void, so this talisman array is called the Hell Prayer Array, and this kind of magic is a forbidden art."
Looking at the more and more blood, Xiao Tian swallowed his saliva
"What is the use of this scale?"
"After a person dies, there will be a spirit body, also known as a soul, a spirit, which is usually invisible, but the Ghost Sect and the Fu Sect have ways to make it visible to the naked eye. ”
"This Hell Prayer Array is like a prayer from the underworld to preserve the spirit, so that the spirit can continue to stay in its body and exert its power during life. ”
"It is a means of sustaining life, and it is extremely destructive, and the beneficiary of this formation will be delirious for a long time and will be controlled by the person who casts the spell. After completely dying, there will be too much cause and effect to fall into samsara. ”
"You mean ......"
Li Yi'an nodded: "There are things below, which can make people use the Prison Prayer Array to save people at any cost, which is definitely not something we can fight now." ”
"Then you stabbed someone with a flying sword just now, look at the stabbing someone!"
Li Yi'an rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to test whether the records in the ancient books are wrong, I want to know what is buried underneath, I have already run away." ”
"Then let's run, run, hurry up, boss, it's crazy here, it's too crazy."
Xiaotian clamped Li Yi'an's legs, the only arm that was not injured, and kept patting Li Yi'an's chest.
"Go, go, quick!
Looking at the blood and water gushing out of the ground, Li Yi'an also had a big head.
He used his sword technique, and a flying sword behind him chose a direction to fly.
After a few moments, the flying sword vanished, and he lost his sense of the flying sword.
Miraculously, after a while, a flying sword suddenly flew out from its side.
'Bang!' and fell to the ground.
With an idea, the two flying swords flew in different directions.
After a while, they all fell in different places.
"Not enough, not enough~"
At this time, the swords in the space ring flew out one after another, all of which were swords of ordinary materials, so they could only control their flight by means of imperial objects.
Li Yi'an was sweating profusely and swallowed his saliva
"Xiao Tian, help me remember the movement path of these swords and see if they are normal. ”
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen swords around the two of them flew in different directions.
As long as the sword has flown for a certain distance and its space and position have not changed, this distance is recorded in the mind and listed as safe.
Then Li Yi'an and the others walked this safe route, and then controlled the flying sword again, starting from this point and continuing to find more safe routes.
After a while, as the speed of the flying sword became faster and faster, there was more and more space for investigation, and both of them were sweating profusely.
More and more blood poured out of the ground, and even finger hair gushed out.
Suddenly, a sword disappeared, but it did not appear in the Prison Prayer Array.
Li Yi'an's eyes lit up: "Found it~"
'Xiu ~ ' The rest of the swords flew quickly and were included in the space ring.
The two of them constantly changed positions in the air, flickering left and right, up and down.
After being busy for a while, the wailing in my ears suddenly disappeared.
When the two of them looked down from the sky, although there was a forest of fallen lotus blood fruits under their feet, they were full of life, and pink petals were flying in the forest.
The corpse and the gushing blood were completely gone.
But both of them knew that if they went in again, they might never get out again.
Blown by the cold wind in the sky, both of them shivered all over.
It's not that they feel the physical cold, but that a strange aura still lingers in the hearts of the two of them.
"Walk~, you can't stay here~"
When Xiao Tian heard this, he immediately ignored the consumption of the true yuan, and went out with a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree perception of his eyes in all directions, and his sense of hearing and smell was activated with all his might, and he quickly pointed in the direction one by one, and quickly flew towards Liu Xian'er's position with Li Yi'an.
And Li Yi'an also resumed the habit of taking drugs again, and kept throwing the Condensing Pill towards his mouth.
He really couldn't figure it out, the fourth front, which was only a few days away from the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range, had lost the lives of so many demon hunting teams, not to mention the usual herb pickers.
Why didn't the defenders of the city move in the slightest?
Or is there someone in the defenders of the city who is hiding this time?
From the current point of view, the Ghost Sect is more likely, after all, this Prison Prayer Array is the forbidden technique of the Ghost Sect.
If it was used blatantly, the Ghost Sect would have been wiped out by other Immortal Sects.
In the first life, he didn't have much to do with the Ghost Sect, although the Immortal Sect was not ranked high, but no sect dared to underestimate the Ghost Sect.
According to rumors, the first head of the Ghost Sect is still alive in the state of a spirit, and no one knows how much strength he has so far.
From this, it can be inferred whether the successive heads of the Ghost Sect still exist in a special way.
Shortly after the two of them left, four or five men in black appeared in the woods.
The man in black who took the lead was none other than the disciple of the Ghost Sect, Ghost Three.
"What's going on?"
"Senior brother, a monk from the Condensing Realm has broken in. ”
The ghost san listened to the report quietly, and then his eyes swept over the blood that was still gushing.
Ten of his fingers were adorned with intricately carved spirit rings that could be used to store spirits, and his lips moved slightly, and his hands were dotted with voids.
A moment later, ten spirit bodies floated out of the ten spirit rings, among which Xu Long of the Feather Arrow Sect was among them, and he was the lowest cultivator among these spirit bodies.
After Xu Long's death that day, the spirit body was aimlessly jumping around in the mountains, and after being bumped into by the ghost three, he was casually included in the ring.
After receiving the order, Xu Long's spirit body gradually walked towards the entrance of the cave that was constantly spurting blood.
The other nine spirits followed one after the other, following closely behind Xu Long.
As he was about to approach the entrance of the cave, a suction force came, and Xu Long's spirit body was like a piece of paper, torn apart, and completely submerged in the earth.
Second, third, fourth......
It wasn't until the ninth spirit was swallowed that the blood began to stop gushing and slowly stopped.
The spirit ring of the third ghost was aimed at the spirit body, and the tenth spirit body was instantly sucked into the spirit ring.
After doing all this, he looked at the hanging corpses around him and said to the people behind him
"Some time ago, because of the matter of the white fox, there were many people from the Immortal Sect flying from here, in order to hide this place, the sect paid a lot of price, and now, I have only been away for a while, and even the monks of the Condensing Realm can break in, even if they break in, they can escape... Hmph"
"Senior Brother Ghost Three, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
With a "bang~", the man's index finger suddenly exploded, and the severed finger fell to the side.
And the spirit ring that was worn on that finger before fell into the hands of Ghost San.
"Ah~~~"
The man screamed and was about to pick up his severed finger, but unexpectedly, the wound of the severed finger was facing downwards and suddenly sank into the ground, as if it had been swallowed up by the ground under his feet.
He hurriedly covered his severed finger, left the ground that had just been dripping with blood, and retreated in horror.
And his spirit ring was activated by the ghost three at this time, and a bewitching woman dressed in revealing clothes appeared in front of everyone.
The woman thought that she had been summoned by her master, but as soon as she came out, she saw her master's embarrassed appearance, and she was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.
Oni San looked at the bewitching woman, stretched out a finger, and the woman was instantly sucked into one of his spirit rings.
"Senior brother, such a beautiful thing, no wonder you don't guard in this prison prayer array, as for your dereliction of duty, I will punish you for the sect, don't blame me. ”
"Don't, senior brother, I, whatever else you want, I can give it to you... Please don't take me back to the sect!" the man shouted in horror, but the ghost was unmoved.
With a sound of "brush~", a black shadow appeared behind the ghost three, and he came to the man in the blink of an eye.
It was a spirit body, pale cyan robes, godless eyes, and a distorted face, which could vaguely be distinguished as an old man.
If Li Yi'an was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this spirit as the person Yan Li had painted for him.
Nanming Qingshu's old father, Qingya Daoist.
I saw that Qingya Daoist grabbed the disciple's jaw with his left hand, and pushed it down, tearing his jaw.
Then, the right hand reached through his mouth, and in the painful of the disciple's needles, the right hand stirred inside his body, and then pulled out a spirit in the same form as him.
As soon as the spirit was dragged out of the body, it immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the ghost and begging for mercy.
He looked behind him, his face frightened, he was really afraid that the ghost three would throw him away as a ration and feed him.
Ghost San stretched out his finger again, recited the ancient saying, and put the disciple into the spiritual ring.
Under his control, the Qingya Daoist used his hand as a blade to 'swoo~', splitting the corpse in two, and the figure quickly retreated.
I saw that the soil under the corpse was sprayed with a large amount of blood, and it quickly swallowed the corpse as if it had life.
Ghost San said lightly
"I'll take him back to the sect to be punished, a few of you let the nearby sect send some people over, it's time to change places"
"Yes, Senior Brother~"
The ghost san paused, took out a sword, threw it to the person behind him, and said
The people who came here before investigated, this is his sword, don't startle the snake first, see if it's someone from another sect. ”
This sword is the same sword that Li Yi'an used to explore the way and lose contact.
