Chapter 496: The Gate in the Garden
Lu Xiaoding only wants to get rid of all the crystal essence now, completely ignoring those monks, if they can go out, they will leave a long time ago, didn't Qu Wuxian mention it when they first met.
Otherwise, with such a bad aura, what can you do if you stay here, it is better to go out and help the human race fight the demons.
After passing through a few prohibitions, she will find a piece of crystal essence, and she will reap the joy of incomparable. Ink Devil floated out to look at her, and finally shook her head helplessly, and flew inside to find the hole below.
Now he is also a machine spirit, and things like prohibition can't stop him, but he can fly farther away from the body than other machine spirits. Naturally, there is no way to compare with Lu Xiaoding, she can go wherever she wants, which is really enviable.
Ink Moda took a closer look in front of her, but she couldn't find the hole below that she could see as before. Seeing that there were still many forbidden magic arrays in front of him, he flew back again, and saw that Lu Xiaoding was still digging the crystal essence.
He said sternly, "The monk has gone out." β
"What!" Lu Xiaoding raised his head violently and looked at him in disbelief, how could it be so fast.
Seeing that she finally stopped, Mo Moda laughed and said, "Lie to you, but if you waste any more time on the crystal essence, they will really leave." β
"So you've found a place to peep?" Lu Xiaoding asked, since the two of them said don't pretend, the tone of their speech is not very polite.
Mo Mo Da put her hands in her cuffs and said casually, "No, it's very tight everywhere, I'm afraid there is no place to look." β
"Okay, then I'll use my soul to see through the stone." It seemed that there were not holes everywhere, so Lu Xiaoding had to sit down on the spot and look up at him and preach.
She was about to leave her body, and Mo Moda immediately objected, "No, it's too dangerous." And there is no one to protect the Dharma, what should I do if I am killed! β
Now her life is in the ink face, if she lets people kill her, when will she have to wait here before someone can come and pick it up!
Lu Xiaoding pointed to the surrounding prohibitions and said, "We have already come in so deeply, unless the people in the formation appear, who can come in?" β
"......" Momoda thought for a moment and said, "I'll go, you wait here." β
"If it's far away, you can go there?" Lu Xiaoding looked at him with a smile, without a physical spirit, he couldn't be too far away from Benxiu, and it was not so easy for him to go with him.
Ink Moda froze in place for a while, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, she really hated this feeling.
"Don't be sad, machine spirits are like this." Lu Xiaoding spoke earnestly, then stretched out a finger, picked his chin and said, "That's it, you have a little bit of resistance ability, just guard my body and wait for me to come back." β
"Hey." Mo Moda snapped her hand open, and said angrily, "You dare to tease me, believe it or not, after your spirit leaves, I will do this or that thing to your body!" β
Lu Xiaoding smiled, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Then before I come back, you can help me massage it, if you can do other things, try it." β
Damn fellows!
Ink Moda really couldn't do anything to a body that had no soul and was like a corpse of wood. And he doesn't have a body, so he can touch Lu Xiaoding because she is a machine spirit, otherwise, he will just pass through his body.
At this time, he wanted to recover his body very much, and with his body, he would dare to say such a thing!
Lu Xiaoding grinned at him, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes directly, and entered the meditation.
Her spirit came out of her body, smiled at the grimacing Ink Devil on the side, blinked a little smugly, and happily burrowed into the mountain wall.
"It's really a guy who makes people angry, but it's a pity that it's all trivial things that are reckless, how can the demon king be so petty. However, what does this have to do with me, the demons are not so important. Ink Moda watched Lu Xiaoding disappear, then pressed her elbow on her head, leaned against her and sighed and smiled.
After Lu Xiaoding got into the stone wall, he kept diving, and when he encountered a passage in the middle, he bypassed them. She wasn't sure if other stone caves and the like would have soul-destroying trials.
If you are unlucky, you will lose a lot of money if you overturn the boat in the gutter.
She went all the way to the top of the lowest stone cave, and then followed the stone path inside, and soon found that she had reached the end.
Pressing her face against the edge of the stone wall, she leaned her face forward slightly, allowing her eyes to show her eyes and see what was inside.
Outside the stone wall is a cave, obviously in the belly of the mountain, but the top of the head is not a rock, but a sky illusion of white clouds and blue sky.
Chai Lao and his entourage were standing in front of a carved door frame. There was no door on the door frame, only a faint layer of light, and in the middle of the door, you could directly see the bluestone bricks opposite the door frame.
If it weren't for that layer of light, the frame would have felt like it was just a faΓ§ade and useless.
There are several tattered jars on both sides of the door frame, very old, with some flowers and plants planted in them, which are placed on both sides very casually.
In addition to the door in the middle and the stone bricks with weeds and moss on the edges, the cave is covered with all kinds of plants.
Chai Lao tapped his fingers on the green brick for a while, stood up and shook his head and said, "No, this brick has failed, and you can't notify the people outside to open the door at all." And the alternate opening method, I tried again, but it still didn't work. β
"Chai Lao, can't we really get out? Just four days after I came in, the aura here was unusual. At that time, I mentioned that everyone should go out first, it would be strange here, and it would be better to let the elders take a look and then talk about it, but you just don't agree. β
A monk who had been silent all this time, and looked like she didn't care about the world, finally couldn't help but complain.
Chai Lao glanced at her, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't we agree, and we came over to start the battle on the same day, isn't it completely invalid?" It was precisely because they couldn't get out that they mentioned that everyone first cultivated according to the original plan and waited for the people outside to start the battle. β
"What's the matter now, I'm in a panic, and I can't talk nonsense?"
The nun bit her lip and said with some dissatisfaction: "Then what now, you can't continue to wait, maybe it has really been 80,000 years outside." β
"Form a formation, and with the attack power of the combined period, forcibly open a door that can accommodate one person. After he goes outside, he will find a way to open the door and save people. Chai Lao thought about it and preached to everyone.
Everyone looked at him, and even the monks guarding the entrance of the cave heard this, and they rushed over to the entrance of the cave. Everyone stood quietly, looking at each other in an awkward and heavy atmosphere.
Everyone wants to be the one who goes out, and if they stay in the end, they may not be able to get out for the rest of their lives.
But no one can speak, just stare at the others to see who can speak first.
Lu Xiaoding rolled his eyes, it's really tiring to be a man, just say it directly if you want to, why endure it, don't waste time.
Chai Lao's gaze swept over everyone, cleared his throat, and prepared to speak. And the hearts of the people were lifted up, and they did not know whether he was referring to others or to himself.
"My cultivation is the highest, I have to stay and set up the formation, the words of the Yuan Infant are too weak, and it is easy to be killed when I go out, but it can't save us. Just choose one person from the middle and late stages of the gods, grab it with a small stick, and whoever has a knife mark on it is the one who is. β
He stayed on his own, and then proposed a way that everyone could not refuse, and everyone agreed after thinking about it.
In the end, the twigs were searched and lots were drawn, and a male friar was chosen. He was a little excited and nervous, if it was really 80,000 years later, even if he couldn't save Chai Lao and them when he went out, he could live in a normal world.
It's just that I don't know if this door can be opened, if there is a business trip, he will have no future.
After selecting someone, Chai Lao remembered the method passed on by the master when he entered, and asked everyone to choose the green bricks with patterns and sit on them one by one. And he picked one himself, then sat down and ordered everyone to release all their spiritual power on the door frame.
Aren't they afraid that they will suddenly run in?
When Lu Xiaoding saw this scene, he couldn't help but think curiously, knowing that he wanted to find them, he dared not even want a doorkeeper.
Just when she was puzzled, she saw a ray of light shoot out from the door frame that was infused with spiritual power, and after falling around, it formed a prohibition, and the monks were safely contained inside.
I see, she was amused for a while, it turned out that she would defend herself. It's a pity that if you really want to make a move, this kind of defense can't stop you at all.
Lu Xiaoding didn't come to make trouble, her body was not here, and she couldn't throw Toto and go back, so she just came to take a look.
Knowing where the door is, you can come here at any time to find out how to get back, and don't rush out to scare them away.
Besides, it's one thing for the door to be unsafe. It's been 80,000 years, and who knows what the door has become.
As the spiritual power is injected more and more, everyone's head is sweating, and this method consumes spiritual power quite a lot.
When the spiritual power reached a certain point, the light on the door frame calmed down, as if a mirror was attached to it. No longer transparent, but shiny.
The chosen monk was already standing in the doorway, watching as the door turned into a mirror, as he had done when he first came. He threw his fist at the crowd, and strode in, lest someone suddenly make a noise to stop him so quickly.
Including Lu Xiaoding, everyone looked at him, and after he all entered the mirror, his figure appeared in the mirror. Just wait for him to disappear in the mirror, and it will be considered a successful exit.
Suddenly, there was a change in the mirror.
The monk began to age at a rate visible to the naked eye, his black hair turned white, his skin began to wrinkle, and his cultivation could not stop aging at all.
It was a strange and terrible thing, and when he was so old that he couldn't even straighten his waist, his flesh began to turn black, and even his clothes turned to ashes. Even the magic weapon on his body fell to the ground, and patches of green spots appeared, which was a sign of decay that had not been maintained for many years.
And his Yuan Infant was still alive, flying around in horror, trying to get out of the mirror. It's a pity that no matter how Chai Lao and the others inject their spiritual power into it, he can't get out.
The Yuan Ying also began to slowly fade, turning into a golden pill, and after a while, he became the most ordinary Yuan Shen, and finally even the Yuan Shen disappeared completely.
Except for those black ash and tattered magic weapons, there was no movement in the mirror, and a qiΔ regained its calm.
