Chapter Fifty-Six: Gathering Souls
From beginning to end, this short young man, who was also from the Chaos Void Sect, failed to play any role in Fang Cai's battle.
As a duo of one attack and one defense, if Qiancheng is stuck in a quagmire and can't save himself, then Hu Wu can only defend passively, and the strength of the two of them will directly drop to the freezing point.
In fact, if Qiancheng hadn't been hit, or had escaped the control of the pupil technique in time, the battle would have been much more intense. At least Zheng Xie was not sure that under the attack of Qiancheng, he would be able to break through Hu Wu's defenses safely.
Although Qiancheng in the mirror world is very weak, it is because Hu Wu's secret method cultivation is insufficient, and it is really hard to say what the real Qiancheng can summon.
Zheng Xie threw away a pair of eyeballs taken from Bai Chen's body, and he was also amazed:
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that it doesn't last a few times. ”
It can be seen that the runes in this pair of eyes have dimmed a lot, and if you think about it, you will lose your power completely if you press it once or twice.
In the previous battle in the Ten Palaces, the reason why Bai Chen's pupil technique was able to be broken by Zheng Xie was precisely because Zheng Xie was able to enter the deep consciousness realm. If it were someone else, he might be helpless, but Zheng Xie could intuitively see that formless and qualitative shackle in that realm, so he could not be bound.
Turning his hand and putting away Bai Chen's eyes, Zheng Xie also squatted down and counted the belongings of the two disciples of the Chaotic Void Sect one by one, and all of them were included in the Sumeru Ring that he also got from Bai Chen.
There has always been a saying in the monk world: There is no supreme way to kill people and sell goods, and this is what it says. If you cultivate diligently, or if you travel around in search of creation, you may not have as much money as you can get by killing a monk of the same rank.
When Zheng Xie fled from Zhongzhou, his cultivation resources were almost exhausted, and after several battles at this time, it was not too much to say that he was so rich.
Bai Chen, in particular, provided considerable help to Zheng Xie in accumulating resources. If it weren't for the fact that he almost died in the battle, Zheng Xie really had the idea of holding Bai Chen's hand and thanking him.
"No one should be bothering me now, right?"
Zheng Xie looked around and found that there did indeed be no more monk's breath, so he was also slightly relieved, and turned around again and began to study this stone forest.
Although he didn't know the origin of this stone forest, Zheng Xie always felt that these stones with different shapes were a bit strange.
After a long time, Zheng Xie never found anything, so he also gave up looking at the stone with the words engraved on the bottom, and instead observed other stones.
But soon, Zheng Xie made a new discovery.
"Only some of the stones are engraved with words......"
Touching his chin, Zheng Xie already had some vague guesses in his heart. Then Zheng Xie spent another half an hour remembering the location of these stones engraved with words, and the thoughts in his heart became clearer and clearer.
In the end, Zheng Xie's face was already so solemn that it could not be overstated.
As Zheng Xie expected, when he drew the entire stone forest on the ground, and marked the positions of the stones engraved with words one by one, it was easy to see the prototype of the formation.
Moreover, this formation, Zheng Xie has also seen it in the classics given to him by Bai Fu.
"Soul Gathering Lock. ”
Zheng Xie muttered to himself, and said these words with a sense of shock.
In Zheng Xie's memory, this formation called "Soul Gathering Lock" was specially designed to imprison the great evil things, and the requirements for the construction were also extremely ruthless, requiring the use of the bones of living beings as the framework, and then the tortured soul as the core of the formation, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing the great evil.
"Why, those stones of different shapes ......"
Zheng Xie moved his gaze to the stones that looked like living creatures, and a terrifying guess also came to mind.
"Run!"
At this time, Zheng Xie only had this word in his heart, so he also broke out with all his strength at the first time and rushed out of this stone forest.
If Zheng Xie's guess is correct, then those stones are wrapped in bones from an unknown age!
Those thousands of stones...... That's thousands of corpses!
And according to the requirements of the Soul Gathering Lock, in addition to the bones, those stones are likely to imprison the souls of those living beings!
The thought of so many tortured souls imprisoned in those stones made Zheng Xie feel cold all over his body, and he didn't want to stay any longer.
Just as Zheng Xie had not taken a few steps away from the stone forest, the ground on the periphery of the stone forest shook, and two short stone pillars also emerged from the ground, growing like bamboo shoots.
The two small rocks were both humanoid, one of which seemed to carry a round object on its back, and the other held a cylinder.
This appearance looks like Hu Wu and Qiancheng who were killed by Zheng Xie!
From the faint outline, it seemed that the two men looked hideous and painful, as well as their silent wails.
Zheng Xie saw all this clearly, and at this time, his eyes moved to the corpses of the two people, but he only saw two shriveled clothes with blood stains, but the corpses inside were gone!
At this time, Zheng Xie finally felt the real fear.
"It's really a soul lock...... And it's also a soul gathering lock that can continue to expand itself......"
Zheng Xie accelerated again, a little farther away from the stone forest.
"If you say...... The height of the stone means the strength of those creatures, so ......"
Zheng Xie looked at the towering strange rocks, and was also shocked for a while, and then thought of some not very good things.
"What is it that would need to be held with such a soul lock?"
......
On the platform, the ten mausoleum guards were all using their own magical powers to observe the situation in this small world, and Zheng Xie was naturally seen clearly by them.
Talking about Qinghan's face was calm, and Mo Huan on the side, that is, the female powerhouse who had ridiculed Talking about Qinghan, sighed lightly:
"Xiao Han, the kid you bet on seems to recognize the Soul Gathering Lock. ”
Liao Qinghan nodded slightly:
"He has a special background, he used to be a member of the Taiyuan clan, and he had a master and apprentice with the Great Tianzun outside, so it is not surprising that he can recognize him. ”
Mo Huan was even more curious when he heard this:
"Da Tianzun, isn't that Zhongzhou's Baifu?"
Chat Qinghan did not speak, which is equivalent to acquiescing to what Mo Huan said.
Seeing that Chat Qinghan was so calm, Mo Huan couldn't help but say:
"No wonder you value him so much, and even chose him as the only king, it turns out that it is related to the Great Heavenly Venerable. ”
However, Chat Qinghan shook his head:
"Nope. The reason why I chose him has nothing to do with the Great Heavenly Venerable. ”
At this moment, Mo Huan's charming face also showed confusion:
"Unrelated?"
Talking about Qinghan's eyes was deep, and Zheng Xie's figure was reflected in his pupils:
"What I like is his ruthlessness. ”
"Be ruthless to your enemies, and even more ruthless to yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Chat Qinghan also withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Mo Huan on the side, and smiled slightly:
Only this kind of ruthless person can transcend from a desperate situation. ”
......
"What the hell is this place, even the ancient formation of the Soul Gathering Lock has it, and it may even imprison a peerless murderer ......"
Zheng Xie finally stayed away from the stone forest, and at this time he couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.
The aura in this small world is very strong, and there are a lot of spiritual things, Zheng Xie just casually passed a few mountains and saw no less than five kinds of elixirs that are rare in the outside world.
What? You ask where are those elixirs now? Nonsense, of course, in the Sumeru ring.
It's just that the richer the aura, the more uneasy Zheng Xie is in his heart. Because this not only means that his opponent will have an advantage over him, but it also means that this small world may contain a terrifying crisis.
Think about it, is there a greater chance of a ferocious beast next to a stream that is close to dryness, or is there a greater chance of a beast next to a stream that flows endlessly?
The results are clear.
Not only that, Zheng Xie also saw many fragments of weapons on the way, all of which looked quite old, and they turned into powder with just a light force.
"There have been many battles here......"
Zheng Xie speculated.
"This is natural, this small world was moved in from the outside world by the owner of the corpse king's tomb, and it is not uncommon for there to be traces of war. ”
Zhang Huaishan's voice also sounded in the depths of Zheng Xie's consciousness at the right time.
Zheng Xie's heart moved:
"Senior Zhang, do you recognize these weapons?"
Zhang Huaishan Road:
"It's so old that the method of casting has long been lost, and even in my time there was no such thing. ”
After listening to Zhang Huaishan's words, Zheng Xie was also thoughtful:
"Is it so old?"
Zhang Huaishan's voice obviously revealed a little admiration:
"Yes, I don't know what kind of means to reach the heavens to plunder such blessed land into my own mausoleum. ”
Zheng Xie, who heard something different, immediately reacted:
Senior Zhang...... Do you know where this is?"
Zhang Huaishan said calmly:
"I've only heard about it, but I know it. ”
Without waiting for Zheng Xie to continue asking, Zhang Huaishan said a word that made Zheng Xie's heart tremble.
"Have you ever heard of the Great Wilderness?"
