Chapter Ninety-Three: Jingyuan Daoren
Suddenly, a cloud of gray smoke gradually formed in front of Duan Feng, and then turned into the appearance of a basket-clothed Taoist with a colorful whisk in his hand, his hair was scattered, and his gray beard hung down to his chest.
"Who are you, and why did you come to Chiba Island?" asked the Taoist, placing the dust on his left arm.
When Duan Feng saw the Taoist dress, he secretly wondered in his heart, this person was not a Honglu Daoist? Since he was him, he should have been able to know their origins, if not, he was also a hermit with advanced Taoism, and since he had come to ask for help, there was no need to hide it from him.
"We want to enter the Night Demon Cave and look for fire bats, and we have a friend who is seriously injured and urgently needs fire bats for medicine. Duan Feng told the truth.
The Daoist nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with Duan Feng's words, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Then do you know that the Night Demon Cave is the lair of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, and if you want to enter there, you must first pass the Three-Yuan Great Array of the Guardian Demon Cave." ”
"This is exactly what we are here for, and we hope that the Honglu Dao people can help us crack the Three-Element Great Array. ”
"I see. It's a pity, you're late!" the Taoist said with a sympathetic expression.
"What do you mean?"
"As early as five hundred years ago, the Honglu Dao people had already left here and traveled to the Three Realms, and as for where they are now, there is no way to know. ”
"Then who are you, and why are you here?" Duan Feng asked.
"Me?" the Taoist pondered for a while and said, "I am a disciple of the Daoist of Hong Lu, and my Dao name is Jingyuan. Originally, this was one of Master's dojos, but later Master traveled outside, so he gave this place to me to guard, and the Thirty-six Heavenly Formation outside was laid out when Master was leaving, to guard this place. ”
Duan Feng's face was ugly for a while, and he began to be a little worried in his heart, if they destroyed the formation above, it was equivalent to offending this Jingyuan Daoist, if you want to ask him for help again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
"It's really damn down, just now we were forced to break the magic circle laid by the Venerable Master, and I ask the Taoist not to be surprised. ”
"Breaking the formation?" Jingyuan Daoist laughed a few times, "Just rely on a few of you dolls?
"What happened just now?"
"Just now I saw that you still have some spirituality, and you are a material that can be made, and I can't bear to let you die, so I deliberately accepted the magic circle, otherwise, you would have been bombarded by the thunder and there would be no scum left. ”
"That's the case? The junior is here to thank the Taoist for saving his life. Duan Feng said and was about to salute.
Jingyuan Daoist hurriedly waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Forget it, what are you doing with all these useless things!" But just now, I really didn't expect you to use that method to break the formation, although it is useless, but if your spiritual power is higher, maybe in the end you will die with the magic circle, which is equivalent to breaking this formation!"
Duan Feng didn't understand, what he said was higher, how much higher, but if it really ended up together, then there was still an eggplant!
However, Duan Feng and the others were disappointed that they couldn't find Honglu Daoren, but since the person in front of him knew so much, he must also know the way to crack the big array, even if he didn't know, he could show them a clear way.
"Please guide the Taoist, how to crack the three-element array?"
"There is no way to crack the Three-Yuan Great Array, you still have to die of this heart!"
"There's no way to crack it?" Duan Feng said in surprise.
Jingyuan Daoren squinted at Duan Feng, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "However, if you want to enter this three-element array, it is not impossible. ”
Duan Feng, who was originally disappointed, suddenly came to his senses again, "What way?"
"There is a way, but you have to promise me one condition. ”
"No matter what the conditions, I will promise you!" Duan Feng said eagerly.
"Don't worry, this condition is not so easy to complete, you better think clearly before answering. ”
"I've figured it out, you name it. Duan Feng thought to himself, even if the conditions were harsh, he would agree, nothing more than giving away his life.
"The Sanyuan Great Array is not an iron wall, when the master set up the array, he deliberately left a back door, there is a West Water Peak in the south of Chiba Mountain, which is one of the corners of the Sanyuan Great Array, there is an underground dark river across the West Water Peak, called Xiaoyuan River, when the master set up the array, the West Water Peak cut off the Xiaoyuan River, so the Xiaoyuan River was diverted, the river moved east for about ten miles, on the west side of the Xiaoyuan River, there is a village and town named Zhoujiapu. ”
"The entrance is in Zhoujiapu?" Duan Feng asked.
"No, the entrance is at the bottom of Xishui Peak, and the master originally wanted to seal the entire Xiaoyuan River, but for some reason, he didn't do it, but left a narrow channel at the bottom of the mountain, through which the Sanyuan Great Array could be entered from the outside without being detected. ”
"Then why are you mentioning Zhoujiapu for?" asked Liu Yu with a slight mutter.
Jingyuan Daoist smiled and said, "Because the entrance is located in a well outside Zhoujiapu Village, but I want you, you must not enter Zhoujiapu." ”
"Why is that?"
"Anyway, just don't go in. Jingyuan Daoist smiled slightly, "You only need to follow the northern ridge of Zhoujiapu and go all the way to the west, where the well is located." ”
"Then what do you want us to do for you?" Duan Feng asked.
"I hope you can kill the Lord of the Thousand Faces and bring his body out intact. ”
"For-" Duan Feng just wanted to ask the reason, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he knew that Jingyuan Dao people would not tell him the truth, since there was a request for others, there was no need to ask others to get to the bottom of it.
"Yes! I promise you. ”
"Very well, then you can do it yourself, I am here to wait for your good news. Before Jingyuan Daoren could finish speaking, he turned into a cloud of gray smoke and disappeared into the air, and a loud voice echoed in the cave.
"But you haven't told us how to get out?"
Before Liu Yuwei finished speaking, a one-zhang square hole suddenly appeared above the cave, and it was already bright outside, and everyone didn't realize that so much time had passed.
Leaving Kiriba Mountain, the group returned to the beach again, they needed to buy some food from the fishermen, after all, they didn't know what would happen, although they wanted to complete their goal as soon as possible, but they were not sure if they could do it on time.
"There are only five days left and we need to hurry. ”
Duan Feng said as he walked into a grass hut, there were a few wooden sticks on the outside of the grass hut, and a few wet fishing nets were set on them, it seemed that the family was very poor, but the surrounding area was full of this kind of low grass huts, which was also the case with other families, Duan Feng wanted to give up, but his stomach was really hungry, so he walked in.
"Old man, we want to buy something to eat. ”
A stiff old man was rubbing a shiny harpoon with his head down, and looked up at Duan Feng and the others.
Looking at the old man's hands that were like dry wood being run by the sea, Duan Feng regretted what he said just now, it would be good for an old man like him to be able to feed himself, how could there be food to sell to them?
The old man did not speak, but waved his hand helplessly, and pointed with his harpoon to a slightly larger thatched hut in the distance.
Duan Feng confirmed in his heart that the old man was a mute, and he saw that there was indeed nothing of value in the house, so he thanked the old man and walked towards another thatched hut.
There is also an old man living in the thatched hut, but this old man is straight, full of red light, energetic, and has a loud voice, not at all like a fisherman who has experienced vicissitudes, judging from the appearance, this reminds Duan Feng of his father.
The old man didn't say a word, he took out a package from the house, which contained more than a dozen flatbreads, and they were freshly out of the pot, looking at the yellow-orange oil on it, Duan Feng swallowed his saliva, although it was not as delicious as the food in the restaurant, but it could fill his stomach after all.
After eating and drinking, the four of them hurriedly got up, taught the old man the little silver tael they had left, and flew towards Chiba Island.
The four of them landed on the east side of Xishui Peak, and from the air, a huge circular light blue dome in the center of the entire Chiba Island covered half of the island, and there were four large mountains under the dome, one in the center was Mt. Chiba, and the other three were the corners of the three-element array. Of the entire island, only the eastern part of the island has a clear river, and the rest of the island is covered with vegetation so that the ground is not visible.
"I don't know where Zhoujiapu is as mentioned by Jingyuan Daoist, if you can find the location of Zhoujiapu, you will also be able to find the secret entrance. Duan Feng looked around, but there was no trace of human activity except for dense trees and weeds.
"But judging from the air, there are no villages and towns around here at all, and there are not even people, could the Jingyuan Dao people be mistaken?" Han Qingfei jumped into the air and looked down, but he also found nothing.
"It shouldn't be wrong, I think the Zhou Jiapu that Jingyuan Dao said should have been a long time ago, and now Zhou Jiapu may have disappeared, but as long as the well can be found. ”
"But when do we have to find such a big forest?"
A mist gradually filled the surroundings, and the fog grew thicker and thicker, and the air was mixed with a fishy smell, and a few wild beast roars could be heard from the depths of the woods, and a few piercing birdsong could be heard in the air.
It was noon, but the thick fog obscured the entire sky, the air was wet, and the whole mountain forest looked very cold, and the four of them were at a loss in the fog forest to find the traces of the village and town, but the thicker and thicker fog made it more difficult for them to find it.
Suddenly, Duan Feng felt empty under his feet, and just wanted to shout, the whole person was completely covered by piles of fallen leaves, and the other three people also suffered the same, through the swaying leaves, Duan Feng could vaguely find that they had fallen into a huge space, but it was pitch black inside.
After about two hundred meters of falling, Duan Feng was slammed into the soft ground, and a few dim lights lit up around him, "It's a village and town!" Duan Feng's first consciousness was that they had fallen into a village and town.
"It's like a vain manor. Liu Yuwei's first feeling was that they had fallen into the Netherworld again, because this place was also underground.
But after she cleared her mind, she realized that this was just an underground village, and the sky, which was more than two hundred meters above the ground, was covered with a thick layer of soil for unknown reasons, and the soil was overgrown with plants again, and they just happened to walk to a weak area and accidentally fell down.
