Chapter Ninety-Four: Another "Hongmengli Town"
Bai Xiu noticed a very crucial point in her words and asked, "According to the young island master of Ming, it seems that the out-of-body soul can be controlled by himself?"
"That's how it was...... The Ming family's psychic soul detachment technique was born here, even if it has no form, it can be sent and received freely, not to mention the soul under the control of the power of the ghost eye. β
Knowing the doubts in his heart, she paused for a moment and said, "Your Nine Yin Soul has not been formed, which may be the main reason why your soul has left the body on its own. β
Bai Xiu's heart sank, Ming Yuchu's few words had already made him realize the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately said: "Ming Shao Island Master, is there a solution to this problem?"
Ming Yuchu shook his head and said, "This is not a situation that occurs when cultivating ghost eyes normally, and I have no way of knowing more.
However, one thing you should know is that since you have not been able to cultivate the Nine Yin Spirit, even if you can control the soul out of your body independently, don't try it rashly.
First, the connection between your body and the soul has not been strengthened in a specific way, and if the soul is too far away from the body, I am afraid that the connection between the two will be cut off.
In this way, you are really dead;
Second, your soul is not as strong as the spirit of the Nine Yins, it is very vulnerable to damage, and if your soul is damaged, you yourself will die soon. β
"Thank you for the reminder. Bai Xiu smiled gratefully, but the haze in his heart was difficult to dispel for a while.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, looked around, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is there no fog here?"
Indeed, the fog had long since cleared.
He could see a stone staircase straight down from beneath their feet, leading to the abyss beyond the platform.
And in that abyss, countless iron cables are interspersed, and in the densest places, there is even a narrow distance of four or five meters between each one.
I don't know if it was lucky or unfortunate, the place where they fell was the most sparse of the iron cables.
If it weren't for Bai Xiu's excellent ear skills and accurate capture of the location of the iron cable, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to find a place to know and hook up.
But fortunately, they didn't run into it directly, and thus escaped.
Seeing that he was a little distracted, Ming Yuchu's originally uncertain mood inexplicably improved.
She lifted her chin, looked at him and said, "Look back." β
Bai Xiu instinctively looked in the direction she indicated, and there was a quaint stone workshop in her eyes.
And behind the stone workshop, an ancient city stood quietly, singing in the dim light of the stone valley, telling something affectionately.
At this glance, Bai Xiu couldn't recover from the shock for a long time - this ancient city was exactly the same as Hongmengli Town!
Another "Hongmengli Town"!
Yes, he couldn't help but think of the city hidden behind the Yellow Spring, the "Heavenly City" in the mouth of the ghost girl Siyin.
So, what is the origin of this ancient city built under the town of Hongmengli?
Does it have anything to do with the city?
Is there any connection between these three ancient cities?
He was in doubt, and Ming Yuchu said: "After you fainted, I helped you to walk up the stone steps, and when you came here, the fog disappeared inexplicably, and when I looked back......
You don't know, at that moment, I wondered if our previous experience was a dream. β
As soon as she said this, Bai Xiu had a clue and said, "It is estimated that an ancient magic array similar to the 'Fog Lock Lianjiang Nine Turns Serial Array' has also been laid here.
Therefore, when we enter the formation, it is as if we are in a fog, and when we leave the formation, its boundary symbol disappears. β
Ming Yu Chu noticed something strange and muttered, "If that's the case, then how did we break this magic circle?"
Bai Xiu said thoughtfully: "I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's ......."
He stared into the abyss in the distance and frowned.
Ming Yuchu naturally noticed his abnormality, and couldn't help but say, "Did you think of something?"
Bai Xiu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Do you remember the giant beast we saw in that cloud?"
"That...... Dragon?" Ming Yuchu also glanced at the abyss.
At this moment, she could only see layers of iron cables there, and even if there was a legendary dragon spirit, it was estimated that it had already hidden in a deeper place.
Bai Xiu said again: "Maybe it's not a real dragon, but it's the same as the imperial spirit summoned by the Bai family's Yuque, but it's just a little bit of the spiritual power of the dragon spirit." β
"What do you mean?" Ming Yuchu was still a little confused, and looked at him inquiringly.
Bai Xiu explained: "In other words, the dragon spirit in the abyss is not as powerful as it seems, but the spiritual power that it burst out at that time made us miscalculate, thinking that it is the essence. β
Ming Zhi Chu felt strange for a while, and said: "If it is just a faΓ§ade, then what is the purpose of the people who set up the formation, is it just to scare the people who retreat into the formation?"
Bai Xiu gave her a negative answer, and said meaningfully: "No, it's not to scare away, but to drive away." β
"Expel it?!" Ming Xue Chu thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "You mean...... The people who set us up are actually trying to bring us here?"
"That's right. Bai Xiu sighed, "If we choose to go in the opposite direction, it is very likely that we will end up here." β
Ming Yuchu was still a little hesitant, and said, "If the other party really intends to lure us here, then why did he still set up this magic circle? Even if it's just this ancient city, it's enough to attract our attention, isn't it?"
Bai Xiu smiled noncommittally.
He looked back at the quiet ancient city and said softly, "Since we have come here, the only way to do this is to continue along the route arranged by the other party for the time being."
However, in the game, the most taboo is to be constrained by others everywhere, and we can only take the initiative to get the first opportunity. β
"The first opportunity?" Ming Yuchu couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "We don't even know who the other party is and what his purpose is, how can we talk about the first opportunity?"
Bai Xiu said: "No matter what the other party does or wants to do, it must revolve around his ultimate goal, and we are not afraid that he will not show his feet." β
"Hopefully, things turn out as you expected. Ming Yuchu mocked.
I don't know why, since Bai Xiu woke up, she felt like a nameless fire in her heart, so that she couldn't help but want to choke him a few words.
Thinking of her state of mind when she learned that Bai Xiu was "dead", she couldn't help but be stunned again.
"Let's go to the city. Bai Xiu stood up and said.
He tried to take a few steps, except for the stinging pain in the spiritual veins, it was not a big deal, it seemed that the Dead Wood Spring Talisman at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was still very effective against ordinary injuries.
Thinking like this, he wanted to say thank you, and when he turned around, he saw her looking at him in distraction.
And there was a bit of tenderness in her eyes that even she didn't notice.
For a while, Bai Xiu was a little shaken about the plan for the future.
However, his sanity soon returned, and he coughed intentionally and said, "I'm really sorry, in the end, I still wasted such a precious charm for Your Excellency. β
Ming Yu came back to his senses, glared at him viciously, and finally lowered his head.
She said coldly, "This is my business, you don't have to worry about it...... With this kung fu nonsense, it's better to find a way out of here sooner.
Whatever the purpose of the people who set up the formation, what does it have to do with us? What we need to do is to find the fragment of the Raider as soon as possible. β
After saying that, she took the lead in walking towards the ancient city.
As soon as she entered the city, she couldn't help but say: "It's incredible, this place is almost exactly the same as Hongmengli Town......
Bai Xiu felt the same way.
But I don't know if it's his delusion, but after they entered, the ancient city always gave him a little bit of a ghostly feeling β he glanced at the empty streets and the old bluestone attics.
The previous tranquility seemed to be an illusion, replaced by a kind of ill-intentioned gloom.
"It's a bit quirky here. Ming Yuchu also noticed the change and reminded in a low voice.
In the end, Bai Xiu's eyes stayed on those small buildings built of bluestone, and his heart moved, pointing to the nearest one and saying to Ming Yuchu: "Maybe we can go in and have a look." β
Ming Zhi Chu also had this intention, and he still walked over.
When she reached the door, she motioned for Bai Xiu to stop, shook her hand, hooked the tip of the door, and then pulled it skillfully with her hand, and the door creaked open a palm-wide gap.
Bai Xiu looked at the familiar string, and subconsciously touched his wrist, it seemed that when he was unconscious, Ming Yuchu had already taken it back.
Looking at her preoccupied appearance again, inexplicably, Bai Xiu remembered Fang Xin, and several thoughts involuntarily surged up from the bottom of her heart.
In the middle of his thoughts, he burned a spell and threw it into the house, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he also accepted it.
"It seems to be no problem, let's go in......" As soon as she turned her head, she bumped into Bai Xiu's gentle gaze, and the words that came to her lips suddenly disappeared.
She quickly reacted and realized that he wasn't looking at her.
She swept the knowledge on her hand, and thought of Bai Xiu's reaction when she saw it before, and understood a little in her heart.
She immediately sneered and sneered: "Now is not the time for tenderness and sweetness, I advise you to be vigilant, don't capsize in the gutter!"
As she spoke, she pushed the door and walked in without looking back.
Bai Xiu was silent and followed into the house.
Through the faint light of the burning spell, he quickly saw the situation in the house, and to his surprise, the layout of this building was exactly the same as that of Hongmengli Town.
"Could it be that this is where your Bai family originally lived?" Ming Yu thought at the beginning, "Later, they moved it up for some reason and built a Hongmengli town that is exactly the same as here. β
"I don't know. β
Bai Xiu thought of another possibility.
"Perhaps the history of this ancient city is longer than that of the Bai family itself, the ancestors of the Bai family discovered it when they were quarrying and repairing the city, and felt that the pattern was good, so they used it as a blueprint to build Hongmengli Town. β
"If that's the case, then where did the people who originally lived here go?" Ming Yuchu suddenly retorted.
