Chapter 399: The Change of Life and Death
Gu Yan's eyes lit up silently, this inconspicuous vial, there seemed to be infinite flames in it, she faintly saw that there were colorful brilliance circulating on it, could it be that it could emit flames of seven different attributes? Speaking of which, this is the most powerful treasure she has seen since she came to Cangwu, and other book friends can see it normally:. As a monk who was born with a fire spirit root, she couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Those flames had already surrounded those ghost shadows at this time, and Xia Ruoqiu said: "Close!" Countless flames wrapped around those shadows, and then rolled back like a long whale absorbing water, all of them were thrown into the middle of the small bottle, and in the blink of an eye, those ghosts in the sky were cleared cleanly, Xia Ruoqiu smiled and put away the jade bottle, "I think we are almost to the core of the underground, and if you go further, there must be more powerful prohibitions, you have to remember to follow me closely, and don't leave an inch." I don't think it will be long before we get there. ”
Gu Yan still wanted to take a few more glances at the jade bottle, but he didn't expect Xia Ruoqiu to put it away, thinking about it, a disciple of a famous sect like her, even if the magic weapon on her body is powerful, she will not take it out and show off to outsiders, that would be too shallow, and she would lose the bearing of a famous disciple.
She listened to Xia Ruoqiu's all-encompassing tone, so she smiled faintly and nodded. The countless ever-bright lights around were extinguished one after another after the ghost shadow was taken away, Xia Ruoqiu blew gently, and a little remaining spark was blown up by her, floating in the air, and then countless lights lit up at the same time, illuminating this place as if it were day.
It turned out to be an extremely wide open space, and there were still traces on the ground, as if there were originally a lot of utensils, but they had all been cleaned up. Only a remnant of the open space remained. After dozens of steps forward, there is a deep trench, so deep that the bottom is almost invisible, more than ten zhang wide, and the sound of water lapping against the stone wall can be faintly heard. Xia Ruoqiu picked up a stone, threw it forward, and fell into the trench. But I didn't hear a sound. Her face sank a little, and she said, "This seems to be the water of the River Styx!" It seems that there are still many things in this underground that we have not seen. ”
Gu Yan had never heard of this name. A puzzled look. Xia Ruoqiu showed a somewhat sneering smile and said: "The water of the River Styx, the mist of the Black Marsh, and the flower of the Canglan are the three strange things in the Demon Sect back then, and they are the magic weapons of ordinary monks, you have to be careful, if you are splashed by the water of the River Styx." Then it will corrode your talisman very quickly. It is not easy for you casual cultivators to refine a magic weapon, remember it for a while. Don't leave my side. ”
Her later words were automatically filtered out by Gu Yan, she didn't know the water of the River Styx, and other book friends read it normally:. But the fog of the black swamp has seen it, when she was in Qiyun Mountain and fought against Lu Xuanji, she used Zhu Lian's karmic fire to burn away the black swamp mist emitted by Lu Xuanji, and now that I think about it, there is indeed a dead air hidden in that fog, which is similar to what I sensed in the Meridian Valley this time, since there is the water of the Styx here, could it be that Mo Rigen's group is also related to the people in the original Demon Sect?
But they are obviously the servant clan of the Gaoli people, and the Gaoli people are the ones who have made great contributions to the Taoist schools during the Dao Demon War, and they must have killed a lot of demon cultivators, which makes Gu Yan even more puzzling, it seems that what is hidden behind it must be a secret that has been hidden for many years.
Xia Ruoqiu looked at the trench in front of him, and said to himself: "The water of the Styx River only appears in a few unique places, it is the place where the demon cultivators were entrenched in the past, and now it has been flattened, except for the north and south poles, how can the water of the Styx still appear here, could it be that someone deliberately moved it over?" She gently tapped her forehead with her hand, "When you go back, you must tell the master, and let the master send someone here to take a look." ”
Although this ditch was ten feet wide, it was not difficult for ordinary monks to fly through it. But Xia Ruoqiu said: "Don't fly easily! On the surface of the water of the River Styx, a very peculiar gravity will be formed, which is thousands of times heavier than the general place, and there was a man called the Mountain Mover, who could resist a hill, but when he walked on the bridge, he could not resist the gravity of the water of the River Styx, and was forced to fall down, if it was not for the timely rescue, he almost lost his bones. The more powerful this magic water is, the more powerful it is, the greater the suction power it produces. ”
Gu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, it was the first time she had seen such a strange thing. Speaking of which, if she flies with a Jinyun Saucer and protects herself with the Nine Peaks, she is absolutely confident that she can pass this distance of ten zhang, but Xia Ruoqiu obviously wants to fly with her, so she will be happy to hide it.
Xia Ruoqiu took out a piece of jade from his arms, like a half-crescent shape, crystal clear, it looked like a thin piece of ice, but it glowed with a moist luster, threw it into the air, and said: "I call it Shadowless Bi, it is a very powerful magic weapon for protection, you remember, don't leave its protection range." ”
The two women moved forward quickly under a piece of treasure light, a distance of more than ten zhang, for an ordinary monk, it was only a blink of an eye, but as soon as they reached the water, Gu Yan felt an extremely powerful suction force coming from the ground, dragging the two people Xiangxia to fly. Fortunately, the treasure light emitted by the shadowless bi gently covered the two people tightly inside, allowing them to float on the surface of the water of the River Styx, just not falling.
Xia Ruoqiu said with some surprise: "I didn't expect your cultivation to be so powerful, the suction power is much greater than I imagined!" ”
Gu Yan reluctantly showed a smile, this kind of water of the Styx, and the fog of the black swamp she had seen, seemed to be two completely different things, the fog of the black swamp just contained dead air, but in the water of the Styx, there was a kind of indescribable aura of silence, as if it was a thousand shijie, everything could not escape the invasion of time and turned into ashes, just now she only released a trace of divine thought into the water, and that indescribable feeling made her almost want to vomit blood.
The treasure light emitted by the shadowless bi moved forward at an extremely slow speed, and it took about half a pillar of incense before they reached the other side, and as soon as they landed, suddenly it was like a lightning bolt in mid-air, and a thunderbolt from a clear sky slashed heavily on the treasure light.
Xia Ruoqiu snorted lightly: "Go back!" She quickly punched out a sigil, and the soft light shrank back, actually wrapped the lightning, and then bounced out violently, and with a bang, the white light almost illuminated half of the sky, and the ground in front of it was heavily split into a deep trench.
At this time, the golden light and thunder in the sky rained down, Xia Ruoqiu waved his hand, and the treasure light spread, like a cloud brocade, Xiangshang rose, blocking those thunder and fire outside. Despite the storm, lightning and thunder outside, she couldn't help her at all.
Gu Yan looked ahead, after crossing this trench, there was an intersection in front of him, and then there were three forks in the left, middle and right, each of which was dark and deep, and there was a faint blue light shining inside, as if he had opened a bloody mouth and wanted to swallow people into it.
Xia Ruoqiu didn't care, she held up the orb in her palm, still emitting a dim and soft light, she looked at it for a while, and said, "Go to the middle of the road." "After that, I raised my feet and went in.
"Wait!" Gu Yan suddenly grabbed her, Xia Ruoqiu looked at Gu Yan with some annoyance, "What are you doing?" ”
Gu Yan said: "You can't go to this road, there is a dead end in front of you, :!" ”
Xia Ruoqiu couldn't help but feel funny, she shook the orb in her hand, "Do you know, this is the Tianlan Pearl, the magic weapon refined by the seventh generation of the head of the Danding Sect in the Azure Water, which can see through all formations and illusions, since it shows this path, how can there be a mistake?" She looked at Gu Yan with disdain, it seemed that this loose cultivator was really making a fuss, and she even had to doubt her own opinion!
Gu Yan said categorically: "I don't know what Tianlan Zhu is, but the road ahead must be a dead end, not only this one, but all three of them are dead ends!" She had been observing for a long time just now, and finally discovered the mystery of the layout here, and no matter how ugly Xia Ruoqiu's face was, she said it endlessly.
"This orb can indeed see through all the formations and illusions, but where we are is not an ordinary formation, it is between the virtual and the real, the yin and yang are born together, and the door of death and the door of life can be transformed into each other, in other words, this is the law of the formation, the big formation sets the small formation, and the door of life in the formation leads to the next door of death. Do you see the water of the River Styx behind, this is the death in life, the life outside the death, the three roads in front of you must lead to the door of death, we will step into, most of them are the most dangerous part of the Roselle Array! ”
Xia Ruoqiu was a little stunned, looking at this female cultivator who didn't look amazing and said such a big set, she actually had a feeling of being refuted by her, she was known as a genius in the nine major factions, and a genius who married at the age of seventy-eight, when would she ever be refuted by a yellow-haired girl-like figure? But she is not good at the study of formation, but when she asked Uncle Danyangzi for this orb, she also learned some about the study of formation, what Gu Yan said is not an incomparably difficult and profound change, is this Tianlan Pearl?
Gu Yan seemed to see what she was thinking, and said: "Tianlan Zhu is certainly powerful, but it must also be combined with the treasure holder's understanding of the formation method, the formation is originally the study of the change between the virtual and the real, it is the wrestling between the formation person and the formation breaker, the situation is changing all the time, how can there be a certain rule?" ”
Xia Ruoqiu's face suddenly darkened, the meaning of this woman's words, was she accusing her? (To be continued)
