Chapter 50: The Witchcraft
The two ministers of logistics and warfare, Niu Qixiong and Zheng Changlin, members of the Qianlong Yuan Ruins Exploration Department, had already started to search for every building, every new formation, and even every precious material rarely seen in modern society along the bluestone avenue again.
Ji Daoyan could only follow the center of the crowd's exploration range, occupying a corner of the bluestone street. Using a dozen turquoise beads directly inlaid on the ground to arrange a simple formation, one hand knotted the seal in the mouth and recited the spell lightly, and the other hand was always pressed on the back of the unconscious Ou Haichao, emitting a flickering white light.
As the true qi of the "Clear Void Cave Heart Sutra" in his body was running rapidly, the Dao Gate Talisman and the formation came into play at the same time. When Ou Haichao hadn't woken up yet, a few of the dozen top-grade Yungai Temple and Yajiao Mountain turquoise stones on the ground had faded from time to time and turned into ordinary stones, or even directly shattered into powder.
Ji Daoyan's expression remained unchanged, and when each turquoise was exhausted and shattered, it could pop out with one finger and replenish the second one to the groove of the formation. It's just that this consumption speed, even with his net worth as the leader of the "Yan Dao" and the sect master of the Dao Sect, he can't help but feel a little secretly heartbroken: this level of turquoise is almost one less than one.
Especially Ou Haichao, even if he consumes such a drama because of saving him, he will definitely only pretend to be stupid and refuse to bear even a penny and a half after waking up.
Having said that, at this point now, he can only continuously pop out top-grade turquoise regardless of loss, and always maintain the simple formation on the bluestone slab ground, playing a role.
Ou Haichao's eyelids moved slightly.
It seems like...... Worked again?
Ji Daoyan was slightly happy in his heart, the white light on his hand became stronger and stronger, and the turquoise consumption was also increasing. In just a few minutes, as Ou Haichao's eyelids fluttered rapidly, more than a dozen top-grade green pine beads on the ground had been replaced for two full rounds. Even Ji Daoyan's originally bulging pockets were suffocated unconsciously.
It's coming, it should be coming!
As the turquoise beads he carried continued to decrease, Ji Daoyan's heart became more and more bottomless, so he could only secretly grit his teeth and continue to fill the turquoise vacancies on the ground that had exhausted his energy and turned into powder, while hoping that Ou Haichao would wake up quickly.
I don't know if this Taoist master has played a role in the "prayers" of the ancestors of the "Yan Dao" generations.
Half a minute later, from the narrow corridor and the dome building, Ou Haichao, who had been unconscious all the way, finally opened his eyes completely, and let out a soft hum from his mouth: "What...... What's going on?"
Ji Daoyan let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally returned to its original place: "You have been in a coma for a long time, and I just consumed my true qi to wake you up with the help of the "Mountain Dragon Array" and the "Qingxu Cave Heart Sutra"!
After a series of questions, Ou Haichao, who had just woken up from a coma, still had a confused look on his face, and he shook his head for a long time before he seemed to have recovered a little.
He stretched out his palm and rubbed his face, followed by the next action......
He secretly turned around and buckled the remaining two or three turquoises on the ground that had not been completely consumed, and stuffed them into his pocket in front of Ji Daoyan.
The latter's whole face turned black, and he almost fainted in one breath: "What are you doing!!"
"If you don't use it, don't waste it!"
Ou Haichao smiled, and then he moved his hands and feet to stand up from the spot and look around: "Where is this? Are we still in the former Qing Ancestral Land, why did you come in too, Boss?"
As the two talked, the members of the Hidden Dragon Abyss in the surrounding buildings finally noticed the changes here, and opened the doors and walked out one after another. Ou Haichao turned his head and saw Ji Yiming not far away, and suddenly showed a smile on his face—a little more surprised than seeing Ji Daoyan: "Brother Ji! I haven't seen you for a long time!!"
……
……
Just when Ying Xingtian's group of people began to continue to explore various buildings, the "criminal soldiers" Zhu Huang, Chiwei and others entered this underground city through the teleportation array.
The cyan light Chinese figure hidden in a street in the middle of the city, all the movements in his hands have stopped. The cyan points of light that originally spread across every street building in various areas, and every large and small formation, had long since disappeared.
The figure became more and more condensed, and the cyan brilliance was completely lost at some point. Except for the fact that his facial features are still slightly blurred, he looks almost indistinguishable from a normal human. Especially a pair of eyes that exude a clear divine light, the pupils sometimes light up with extremely subtle, but incomparably dense starry light, as if there is a Milky Way quietly circulating in it.
The countless large and small formations in the entire underground city, accompanied by countless handprint spells, have been closely linked to this figure condensed by brilliance.
I am the city, and the city is me.
I have run this city for hundreds of years, and I have been asleep for nearly a thousand years.
What I am waiting for is such an unavoidable opportunity today.
Nearly 1,000 years have passed, and the land of China has ...... Finally, a powerhouse of the top Grandmaster Realm has appeared again. And there is more than one, one person and one snake...... It should be enough!
A humane smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but the corner of his mouth was exposed, but there were no teeth or tongue in it. It's just a piece of deep and pure, as if it were boundless darkness.
It's bright on the outside, dark on the inside.
The figure patted the warrior on the shoulder again.
The cyan light in the latter's eyes quietly faded, returning to his previous stupid appearance, even more confused and empty than when he had just crawled out of the grave, as if the only sanity in the body had completely dissipated, leaving only the extremely strong battlefield battle intent still condensed around the body, becoming more and more powerful and terrifying.
"Go ahead, go and see how far my lovely chanceholders can go. ”
As soon as the words fell, the body of a powerhouse with the strength of the top Grandmaster Realm strode back from the path from which he came. The goal is exactly the direction where Ying Xingtian, Ji Yiming and others are at the moment.
The distance of thousands of meters was rapidly shortened at the terrifying speed of more than ten meters in one step.
And when the figure of the warrior disappeared into the distance on the bluestone street, the Guanghua figure found a new place to sit cross-legged near the Dan furnace-shaped street lamp, and his fingers lightly clasped a few energy gems inlaid in a formation at the bottom, and a few thoughts occasionally flashed in his eyes.
"No, it seems...... Not quite right. ”
"Descendants of Qianlong Yuan, Yandao, and Yellow Emperor bloodline......"
"The 'old friend' of the two organizations, a noble bloodline that has been passed down for thousands of years but has never had any outstanding figures, this should be a coincidence. But why doesn't the city formation seem to be a little wrong?"
"Is there a fourth party here that can affect my plans?"
"After nearly a thousand years of planning, there must be no accidents! But what is it that actually makes the clear heavenly opportunities between heaven and earth suddenly change?"
He whispered a few words to himself, and finally stood up again, his eyes flashing with pure cyan light and scanning the entire city in all directions.
After a moment, the light faded again.
The look of doubt on the figure's face did not diminish in the slightest. Even though he has been laid out in this city for nearly a thousand years, he is familiar with every street building, every formation and the corridors and domes that spread farther away. But for the more secrets hidden in it, it can only be regarded as a superficial surface.
"Is it a space-time formation, is it running automatically again?I hope you don't provoke those terrible existences in the ancient era again!"
He seemed to suddenly remember something, and although he didn't notice any movement, he couldn't help but shudder.
That kind of thing, it's enough to show up once......
……
……
Those who were regarded as "variables" by the Guanghua Shadow were naturally the five "criminal soldiers" who quietly dug a tunnel from under the peak of Tianchang Mountain and entered the underground city through the one-way teleportation array.
Unlike the three teams of Ying Xingtian, Ji Yiming, and Ji Daoyan who entered this place in turn before, the five of them seemed to be extremely familiar with the huge underground city they had set foot in for the first time. Even though his eyes were still full of shock, his steps were not slow at all along the way, and he walked straight towards a prescription position in the center of the city.
Of course, the only people who really have an innate familiarity with this place are the two witchcraft masters Zhu Huang and Chiwei. The remaining three wizard realm masters who are also considered top in the "Criminal Soldier" organization are honest and walk forward behind the two of them most of the time, only occasionally squatting down or taking pictures or rubbing when they pass through various complicated large and small formations, and they show an extremely familiar appearance between their movements.
It's not that they're used to doing the most common work in this kind of ruin exploration, but every formation here has been described in great detail in the treasury books of the "Torturers" organization.
Not the formations themselves, but a description of the effects, powers, and directions they support.
"Wucheng has reappeared, and after a thousand years of dormancy, I finally ushered in the hope of rising again. Zhu Huang walked in the front, occasionally looking back at the movements of the three people, his eyes were full of the old farmer's harvest of relief, and even the tattoo on his neck "Kuafu chasing the sun" occasionally flashed red, as if it was triggered by something to jump.
"Declination, do you sense it?"
Chiwei, who had white hair and a withered face, nodded, and a surprised face appeared on an "old face" that looked seventy or eighty years old: "Although it is not a Wu Ancestor, the difference will not be too far." ”
"Wu Ancestor ......" Zhu Huang stretched out his hand and rubbed the tattoo on his neck that praised his father chasing the sun, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "I'm afraid we recognize him as an ancestor, but he has long forgotten the true meaning that Wu Dao has been pursuing since ancient times." According to the records, this person is nothing more than an opportunist who is a traitor of my witch sect and tries to take a shortcut to break through that avenue. ”
"In my 'criminal soldier' inheritance, I naturally have a way to deal with him. ”
His tone was calm, but with a firm taste that could not be questioned, although he only had two grandmasters and three top-grade wizards on his side, he had just been defeated by the hands of the entire "Hidden Dragon Abyss" in the afternoon and conceded defeat on the spot.
When it came to the mysterious existence hidden in the underground city, at least the top Grandmaster Realm, it seemed that he was not taken into account at all. As long as you want, it's as simple and easy as looking at the pattern.
