The green-shirted nun stepped into the light gate, and her figure disappeared immediately. Only Xiao Yat was left standing alone in the hall, except for the dimness, the musty smell diffused in the air.

"Big sister, why don't you leave me a light when you go in?......? Hey, big sister!"

Xiao Yi's voice echoed around, and he waited for a while without any response. Reluctantly, he took out the torch and waved his hand to light a spiritual flame at his fingertips to ignite it.

He walked up and down around the stone statue until the torch was about to run out, and then he took out one again. When the fourth torch was lit, Xiao Yat sensed a hint of bad premonition.

The female cultivator named Qin Xi had been in for too long, and the lack of feedback made him feel powerless and nervous.

Xiao Yi's divine sense can only spread within a certain range of his surroundings, and this distance is simply dispensable for him. So Xiao Yi used his internal force, relying on the martial artist's sensitive hearing and the surrounding air flow to control the detection range at about fifty zhang.

This kind of perception ability Xiao Yi also used it a lot at the beginning, but at that time, Xiao Yi only released this kind of large-scale exploration for a short time, but today he is constantly mentally stressed, which is a great consumption for a person.

Even if Xiao Yat is different from others, it doesn't mean that he can squander the little energy he has so unlimitedly. Now that almost half an hour has passed, more than half of my energy has been consumed. If Qin Xi doesn't come out quickly, Xiao Yi is afraid that not only will he not be able to protect Jing Xi in the future, but even he will be unable to protect himself.

The torch in his hand gradually burned out, and Xiao Yi circled around the stone statue anxiously. Until he stood again in front of the stone statue with a newly lit torch.

Xiao Yat stopped moving, and was quietly there, surrounded by the sound of rats running, and there was only deathly silence.

At this time, Qin Xi couldn't say anything because of his suffering, so he was struggling in a space.

Just now when she stepped into the light gate, what appeared in front of her was not the imaginary ancient cultivation secret room, but a prison place with a hundred feet.

Thick iron chains peeked out from the walls and roofs around the perimeter, and all converged on a stone platform in the center.

There was a strange corpse on the stone platform, and the fur around it was clinging to the skeleton, without any lustre. The eight limbs, along with the head and tail, were firmly locked with iron chains, and even the body had eight iron hooks passing through the body. One can imagine how strong this creature was during its lifetime, which made the monk use such cruel means to imprison it.

Qin Xi carefully inspected the surroundings and found eleven remnants of ancient prohibitions. Qin Xi cut off all these eleven prohibitions and put them in his storage bag, although he still didn't understand the specific purpose of these forbidden formations, but if he studied more in the future, he would definitely improve his formation attainment.

After searching twice more to confirm that there was no more danger, Qin Xi slowly approached the corpse on the round platform in the center. Although he went through all his memories, this corpse did not resemble his previous knowledge.

Stepping onto the stone platform, the green-shirted nun did not get close to the center, and the entire round platform was shrouded in a curtain of light. Although the protective aura on Qi Xi's body has not been relaxed, he never expected that this disc left over from ancient times would be reactivated after many years, but the power has always been domineering.

Qin Xi urged the spiritual power in her body, desperately resisting the invasion of her body by the light array, she tried to withdraw from the disc, but at this time, her feet took root, and she couldn't move a single bit.

As the light array continued to invade, Qin Xi felt that the spiritual power in his body could not last long. She tried to take out the spirit stone from the storage bag to replenish the loss, but her body was already fixed, and she couldn't reach the storage bag that was close at hand.

Time passed, and Qin Xi couldn't shout, and he couldn't lift his imprisonment. Now she can be sure that this disc is the strongest prohibition. If no one lifts this ban in the outside world, Qin Xi will not want to break it for the rest of his life.

Think about the monster in front of you, whatever it is, at least it should outlive yourself. This monster has fought all its life and has not been able to get out of the cage, which is not at all something that he, a foundation-building monk, can break free from in his lifetime.

Now it seems that the outer hall is not a sect's lecture hall at all, it is clearly an auxiliary array that gathers monks and disciples to cast spells and imprison monsters.

The most vicious thing about this disc light array is that while constantly absorbing the spiritual power of the trapped people, it also replenishes these spiritual powers back into the formation eye.

Theoretically, it can be explained that Qin Xi will eventually be consumed alive by the formation nourished by his spiritual power. Now she understands that it's not that the formation can still be effective after thousands of years, but that it has never failed.

As long as there are signs of life on the disc, this formation will be activated. Until the opponent's life is exhausted, the formation will fall into hibernation. It is silent, waiting for a new life to awaken it.

The giant beast in front of him had exhausted its life in a painful struggle, which made the circle calm. I can't imagine how many years it lasted, but that didn't matter anymore, because Qin Xi's time was probably running out.

"Boom ......"

There was a splash of rubble, and the stone platform under Qin Xi's feet loosened slightly. Although the explosion was severe, it was not enough to destroy it.

"Boom...... Rumble ......"

The explosions continued, and although they knew that they were futile, the frequency of the opponent's attacks became faster and faster. As time passed, Qin Xi felt that the spiritual power in his body was about to be exhausted, and he tried his best to make the last attempt in his life, and the world suddenly fell into endless silence. No anxiety, no pain, no thoughts......

Time has become unreal, and everything has come to naught.

"Big sister, wake up!"

A gentle aura naturally integrated into the body, and the nun hooked her fingers, and then the pores around her body began to greedily absorb this pure aura.

"Medium-grade spirit stone...... This is a medium-grade spirit stone...... I'm alive!"

An idea suddenly exploded in Zhihai, and Qin Xi felt that there was a soft mass under him supporting him. opened his eyes violently, he was in a place of captivity, Xiao Yi's face was looking down on him, and she was lying in Xiao Yi's arms at the moment.

"How did you get in? Who's out there?"

Qin Xi turned over and sat up, although the question was a little abrupt, but this was the only language she could think of at the moment. She felt too embarrassed if she didn't say something.

"Eldest sister, it's a bit inappropriate for you to ask me now, right? I saved you just now. Isn't it time for normal people to say thank you to me?"

Xiao Yi got up, picked up the fallen long sword, and put it in the storage bag depressedly.

"You recuperate and recover first, and I'll go out and wait for you. Don't touch this stuff again, lest you're trapped again, and I can't guarantee that you'll be rescued. ”

Xiao Yi went out and returned to the stone statue, reached out to take the torch, and slapped it on the figure, and a small wooden figure appeared in his palm.

As soon as Xiao Yi turned to the back of the stone statue, he lit a torch, and instantly summoned a stand-in wooden man, and he also stepped into the light gate stealthily with a slap of his belt.

Since the other party has not shown up until now, having this puppet standing in the hall should be able to deter for a while. Xiao Yi himself canceled his stealth when he entered the light gate, and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.

Seeing that the disc in the center was shrouded in a curtain of light, Qin Xi's figure stood at the edge of the disc.

Xiao Yi couldn't understand the prohibition in front of him, no matter how he shouted, Qin Xi didn't react.

In desperation, Xiao Yat began to attack the disc where she was standing at her feet. With the help of the long sword again and again, he used his spiritual power to attack, although some of the gravel flew up, but it did not shake the entire light array.

Xiao Yi did not have much spiritual power accumulated in his body, and soon fell into a state of deprivation. He hurriedly took out a low-grade spirit stone from the storage bag, and while absorbing it, he urged the spiritual power to attack the target. It's just that this time the spirit stone usually replenishes physical strength is quite reluctant, and it really uses it to supplement wartime consumption, and this bit of aura is obviously not enough.

Xiao Yi was ruthless and took out a medium-grade spirit stone from the storage bag. This was the first time he had used a medium-grade spirit stone to replenish his spiritual power, and although the supply was endless, there were very few that could absorb and transform it in time.

Seeing that his attacks were ineffective one after another, Xiao Yi took out a handful of various spiritual runes from the storage bag. This is his trophy, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, he can only try to use it now. In a hurry, Xiao Yi didn't think much about it, even if he knew that several of these spirit runes were defensive talismans, he didn't have the heart to distinguish them at this time.

Absorb the spiritual energy into the dantian, along the meridians all the way to the left hand, activate the launch, a spiritual rune was wrapped in spiritual energy and shot straight to the feet of the round platform female cultivator.

The explosive shock wave blew Xiao Yi two feet away, and at this time, his dantian inner qi pill had already turned into a dead ash. The adverse reaction of insufficient cultivation and forcible use of spirit runes is to instantly absorb all spiritual power. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation was too low and there were a few low-grade high-level spirit runes that had not been activated, then he would have faced the consequences of an immediate fall.

This explosion also did not break the prohibition of the round platform, but this impact caused the magic circle to instantly appear a little unfunctional. At this moment of stagnation, Qin Xi sent out an attack. I don't know if it's because I shouldn't die or if I have a soul, this attack of Qin Xi's last spiritual power happened to be activated at the moment of the explosion.

The restraint under her feet loosened for a while, and Jing Xi's outburst pushed her body back a foot. Although her person was already unconscious at that moment, her body had already reached out a little distance from the round platform light array.

Xiao Yi didn't care about the abnormality of his body, and flew forward to grab the placket of Qin Xi's clothes and dragged him out of the light curtain. The two of them immediately fell to the ground, but only Xiao Yat fell a little harder. Because the person in him had lost consciousness of the pain at this moment.

Xiao Yi picked up the spirit stone from the ground, hugged Qin Xi and let the outflow of spiritual power pour into the two of them. Soon, Xiao Yi's sponge was full of aura, but the unconscious Qin Xi in his arms was obviously overdepleted, and he was still devouring the spiritual energy escaping from the spirit stone.

After a while, Qin Xi walked out of the light gate with a tired face.

"We're not getting anything at the moment, so it looks like we're going to have to wait a little longer here. This is for you, and the specific consumption will be talked about when the rest is good. ”

Qin Xi threw Xiao Yi a medium-grade spirit stone, during which a little emerald green crystal at the core reflected the whole spirit stone crystal clearly.

Xiao Yat couldn't find the materials to build a house temporarily, so he summoned the flying boat and asked the nun to go to the cabin to rest, while he took out a futon on the deck to meditate.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Xi walked out of the cabin as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, looked at the stone statue on the side, and looked at the light door looming behind him and pondered for a long time.

"This is the first time I've independently explored and cracked this kind of ancient secret land, and I don't think it's going to be too fast. I see that this place is safe, and there is a magic circle outside. Since you can't break through quickly, it's better to linger here for a while. You continue to practice and help me take care of it. Then I went into meditation every day. In time, there should be gains. ”

The nun looked at the light gate firmly, and said to Xiao Yat as if talking to herself.

"Eldest sister, are you going to stay, right? Xiao still has something to do, so I can't accompany you. Say goodbye here! The mountains are high and the waters are long, and we will see you again in the next life!"

Xiao Yat collected the boat, and the two slowly fell back to the floor of the hall.

Qin Xihu looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously, and asked curiously: "Aren't you curious about the things imprisoned here?" I believe that as long as I study every day, I should be able to make progress in three or five years." I'm 70% sure that I can break the ban here in 10 years. ”

When Xiao Yi heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Eldest sister, senior, you are in the foundation building period, and you can have four hundred longevity. I have only only practiced qi, and I will have a lifespan of two hundred years when I am full. You don't think ten years is much, but I don't have a few years in my life to waste here! I thought I could finish things in a few months, but now I ......."

Xiao Yi ran towards the exit passage, and the face of Qi Xi behind him changed, and he waved his hand and shot out a stream of spiritual power. Hearing the strong wind behind him, Xiao Yi hurriedly rolled over to dodge. That spiritual power flew straight towards the wall, instantly exploding into an ice flower crystal.

Xiao Yi knew that this was a method used to freeze and trap the enemy in ice spells, and its own attack power was limited, but once it was hit, the whole person was trapped in it by a layer of ice.

"Eldest sister, I'm just going to accompany you. Now you want me to spend more than ten years here with you, are you willing to do it?

"How do you take a step back?" As he spoke, his fingertips condensed his spiritual power again, although he didn't know what method it was, Xiao Yi could be sure that this time the spiritual power would only be more violent.

"Take a step back, even if you take a step, I will also take a step. Everyone suffers a loss, isn't it a win-win situation?" Seeing that Qin Xi didn't answer, Xiao Yi hurriedly explained: "Look, eldest sister, now you want to attack me, and I don't want to stay." It's better like this, if you don't attack me, I can not stay to annoy you. That's all right?"

Xiao Yicai spoke, and a cold light came straight to the door in front of him. One leaned back to dodge the attack, and Qin Xi in the distance had already stepped forward. A short sword in his hand was wrapped in power and went straight to Xiao Yi's throat. Xiao Yi turned sharply, dodging the attack while showing a long sword in his hand, which rested on the back of Qin Xi's neck impartially.

"Sister, I'm not as good as you in spells, but you may not be able to win a fight. Wouldn't it be better to speak well and settle the matter peacefully? Why bother with this kind of fighting, killing, and killing?"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, his face changed drastically. A drop of sweat slowly slid down his sideburns.

"How so, when did you ......?"

"I said a long time ago, the realm is different, you will only be slaughtered under me. Can you have a good chat now?"

"Eldest sister, senior, can you take your hands away?"

Qin Xi slowly walked out from behind Xiao Yi, and a spiritual light ball in his left hand stopped at Xiao Yi's lumbar spine.

"If I let go, won't you just run?" said Qin Xi slowly, her body on the other side gradually disappeared, leaving only a short sword suspended in the air.

"How about my clone slashing an instantaneous sneak attack, how long do you think this will last if I teach you?"

Qin Xi said gently, but the threatening charm was already very obvious. Xiao Yi felt a threat from behind him, this was not to say that Qin Xi had killing intent towards him, but he was worried that once the spiritual power in the opponent's hand got out of control, he would be seriously injured and fall to the ground.

"Eldest sister, if you have something to say, this kind of fighting and killing is not in line with your usual ladylike temperament. ”

Xiao Yi didn't dare to move, but his waist secretly straightened forward, trying to stay away from the threat. It's just that his little caution did not escape Qin Xi's awareness, and the spiritual power behind him also moved little by little with his body.

"My mother said that women are born to be bullied. Concession is only the choice of the weak, negotiate or something when you have force, and if you can solve it with your fists, don't use your mouth. ”

"Three years, your skills are worth at least three years. ”

Xiao Yi blurted out the answer when he heard this, if the other party is not satisfied, then it can be compromised in five years and ten years.

"Three years, how long can this buy you guards?"

Qin Xi waved his hand and showed a pile of jade slips on the ground, but it was not clear what the specific function was.

"There are exercises in the Qi training period, as well as Danshu runes. In particular, the miscellaneous notes on cultivation can make you familiar with the things in the cultivation realm faster. Many Xiuzhen sects may not have this kind of thing, but this is a strange book and essay that I have collected for many years. ”

Qin Xi briefly introduced, but these are exactly the things that Xiao Yi lacks the most and wants the most.

"Eldest sister, don't say anything. Xiao is willing to guard you here for ten years. One day away, I feel sorry for my eldest sister's affection. ”

"The man's mouth, sure enough, there is no good thing. Since you've said it all, let's sign this. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yi saw an extra piece of old yellow paper in front of him. A piece of writing is appearing on the blank yellow paper.

"I volunteered to accompany Fairy Qin Xi for ten years. Whether it is a sneak attack by a demon beast or a wicked person seeking revenge, as long as it endangers the safety of Fairy Qinxi, I will take action as soon as possible and defend it desperately. If you break your promise, the catastrophe will come, and you will be reincarnated forever. Oath Bearer:"

Xiao Yat raised his hand and wrote his name in the blank space. As soon as it was written, the yellow paper spontaneously combusted out of thin air.

"This is the wishing paper circulated by the immortals, also called the oath scroll, the oath scroll. As long as you write an oath on it, it will be fulfilled after the breach, and it is easier and not to be used because it is more and more convenient. It is said that in ancient times, the circulation was very large, and even mortals often used this object to make oaths. It's just that no one can make this kind of treasure nowadays, so even in the cultivation realm, very few people use it. It's worth at least a thousand spirit stones, maybe even more. Because no one is willing to sell it. ”

The more Qin Xi spoke, the more sad she became, and her voice gradually lowered. Xiao Yi clearly felt that the threat behind him had disappeared, but a kind of melancholy slowly rose.

"There are fewer and fewer things that can bind the oath, but what is missing is not the vow, but the unrepentant determination to persevere. What is obtained with the help of byscopic things is not an oath, but a compromise. A real commitment doesn't need any other reason at all, just the sentence from the bottom of my heart: I do. ”
