Chapter Fifty-Six: Seven-Star Soul Locking Array
"What kind of place is this?" Tang Fan looked at the sea of sand in front of him suspiciously.
He just felt the wind and sand blowing and appeared here, is this a fantasy? How does it feel so real?
Tang Fan had a lot of doubts and incomprehensions in his heart, but he still walked forward with his steps.
Now that you're in, let's explore it first, whether it's a fantasy or reality, you have to find a way to get out.
The passage he had come had disappeared, and it seemed to be a one-way passage, and when he came out, he found that this was the only way to pass, and it seemed that if he wanted to get out, he had to find a way out in front of him.
Tang Fan walked in the direction of those bulges in the distance, only that place in the entire sand sea looked more special, hoping to find something there.
Those bulges didn't look very far, but Tang Fan walked for more than an hour, and found that the bulges were still faint and looming, as if he had been walking in place, but a long series of footprints behind him showed that he was indeed advancing.
There was silence in the surrounding sea of sand, there was no movement, only the occasional wind that blew reminded Tang Fan that this was not a dream.
Tang Fan couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, when will it be a head to go on like this?
I'm afraid it's dark outside, and the time for the assessment is a total of three days, and now the first day is going to pass, and I'm still stuck in this place where I don't know if it's an illusion or another space, and I don't know if it's a fantasy or another space, so I'm afraid that the time to get out of the dense forest will not be enough!
But what are you going to do? Tang Fan gritted his teeth and used his method of getting up and ran wildly in the sea of sand.
He didn't use his body technique just now because he wanted to retain his physical strength and spiritual element, because he didn't know what danger would be in this strange space, but now he was upset and irritable and couldn't care so much, he just wanted to find a way out as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after performing the body technique, it was much faster than he used to be, and he ran for several miles with a cup of tea, and those bulges finally became clear.
It was a series of circular buildings like sandcastles, as high as three stories, and there were a total of seven scattered sand seas, separated by more than ten meters from each other, like a landscape.
Approaching the sand castle, Tang Fan stopped, he slightly adjusted the chaotic aura that had become due to the hurry, and then he tightened his grip on the dragon scale knife and walked towards the nearest sand castle.
However, when Tang Fan just walked to the sand castle, he suddenly felt a palpitation, and he was just about to retreat, when a piercing scream suddenly came from the sand castle, which shocked his ears and made him dizzy, and his body actually stiffened, as if he had turned into stone.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the sand castle, and then a strange snake with fleshy wings more than one meter long crawled out of the sand castle, opened its bloody mouth and frantically rushed towards Tang Fan.
At this critical moment, the Chaos Bead suddenly emitted a stream of chaotic air throughout Tang Fan's body, causing Tang Fan's body to return to normal in an instant.
Tang Fan did not hesitate to use his body technique to retreat backwards, and he was able to dodge the strange snake that bit him, even if it was a second slower, he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by the group of snakes.
Tang Fan ran dozens of meters away in one breath before stopping, because he found that those strange snakes were not chasing after them, they were all gathered around the sand castle, looking in his direction and letting out bursts of piercing screams.
Tang Fan gasped and looked at the sand castle, and saw the dense sand snakes crawling out of the seven sand castles, he was afraid for a while, he didn't expect that there would be so many strange snakes in this sand castle.
"This strange snake is called the Sabah snake, a first-order spirit animal, a poisonous snake that lives in the desert, and it is said that the screams they make can paralyze people's nerves and make people's bodies stiff, which you have just experienced yourself.
However, there is no record of the appearance of the Sabah Snake in the White Cloud Empire, how can such a thing appear here?" At this time, Tang Fan suddenly heard the voice of Sha Lao in his mind.
Sha Lao's soul has always been unstable, and he has been asleep most of the time, but he didn't expect to wake up again at this critical moment, which made Tang Fan happy in his heart, as if he had found the backbone of the main heart.
"Sha Lao, do you think these Sabah snakes are imprisoned in the sand castle, or are they guarding something?" Tang Fan saw that the Saba snake chased out of the sand castle less than five meters before they all stopped, and asked Sha Lao.
"I'm afraid it's both, these sand snakes should be imprisoned in this sand castle to guard something, but that thing is probably also a very dangerous existence!"
"Sha Lao, do you know what's inside this sand castle?" Tang Fan asked eagerly.
"I guessed a little, if I'm not mistaken, these seven sand castles are connected together to form a formation, called the Seven Star Soul Locking Array, which is a trapped formation.
It can imprison people's spirits or some evil things in it, as long as the formation is on the ground, its energy will not continue, and this formation will continue to run.
However, this kind of formation has almost been lost in the outside world, and I am afraid that only an ancient and powerful force like the Immortal Martial Academy can be preserved!
The last time it appeared before, it was about 5,000 years ago, when there was an evil character named Wu Xie, because his martial arts were related to sand, so he was called the Tsar.
This tsar was ugly and moody, burning, killing and looting, and even the old and young women and children were not spared, which stirred up a lot of storms at the time, and was also hunted down by decent people.
It's just that this tsar has always been a loner, elusive, and likes to live in the desert, so no one has ever been able to do anything to him.
It wasn't until later that he robbed and killed a group of disciples who went out to practice in the Xianwu Academy, which angered the Xianwu Academy, and the academy sent a large number of masters to catch him.
However, it is said that this tsar's body is different from ordinary people and it is difficult to kill, so the Xianwu Academy decomposed him and imprisoned him with the Seven Star Soul Locking Array, but I didn't expect to be imprisoned here. Sha Lao's old voice eloquently told the origin of the seven-star soul locking array in front of him.
After listening to Sha Lao's words, Tang Fan's face was full of caution: "This tsar is so powerful, why is the other courtyard not strictly guarded, but let me come here easily." ”
Sha Lao continued: "I don't know, maybe this is the intention of the Xianwu Academy, it is one of their assessment items, or maybe it is an accident.
But don't worry too much, since this is the assessment of the Xianwu Academy, they shouldn't joke about the life of the assessment disciples, and the danger here shouldn't be impossible to deal with.
But if there is a imprisoned tsar inside, five thousand years have passed, then the tsar is probably long gone, even if he is still using the powerful means of the Xianwu Courtyard, he has already controlled it, and he will no longer be as evil as he was back then.
But if you want to get out of here and pass the assessment now, I'm afraid you have to walk into these seven sand castles and break through the Seven Star Soul Locking Array.
Although the Seven Star Soul Locking Array is seven sand castles, they are a whole, if you break one place, the others will naturally be broken, there may be dangers that cannot be judged, and there may also be opportunities that you can't imagine.
Okay, that's all I can help you with, it's up to you to do the rest. After Sha Lao finished speaking, he lost his voice, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
However, Tang Fan guessed that Sha Lao might have seen something, but he didn't want to say more, he should also want to test himself, so he couldn't let him down, so he didn't ask more.
Tang Fan was actually very grateful to Sha Lao in his heart, he not only passed on the "Nine Yuan Wuji Gong" to him, but also provided him with a lot of information secrets, so that he gained a lot of experience and gained a lot of knowledge, which are all valuable wealth.
Although Sha Lao's spirit consumes a lot and he sleeps most of the time, whenever Tang Fan encounters a critical moment of trouble, Sha Lao will appear, indicating that Sha Lao has been paying attention to him.
And Sha Lao only reminded him every time, it was not a life-threatening moment, he would not make a move, Tang Fan also knew that Sha Lao wanted to let himself face difficulties and dangers alone, so that he could accumulate more experience, after all, his own path had to be walked by himself.
Tang Fan reined in his thoughts, carefully observed the Seven Star Soul Locking Array in front of him, and thought about how to crack it in his mind.
And in a large hall in the Xianwubei Elder's Courtyard, there were three people sitting at this time, one was the executive elder Liu Jiuxing, the other was a white-clothed Xue Wuji, and the other was a white-haired old man, who didn't look good, but at this time he looked at Liu Jiuxing with a serious face.
"Who removed the ban on the Tsar's Secret Realm, have you found out?"
"It's Elder Xiao Feng, he opened the ban on the Tsar's Secret Realm at the instigation of his grandson Xiao Yu, and now their grandson has been controlled and is waiting to be released. Liu Jiuxing said respectfully.
"This kind of person must be severely punished, there is the assessment place for the promotion of inner disciples to core disciples, how can it be opened at this time, this is a joke about the life of the assessment disciples, it is simply mad.
This matter must be handled strictly, and it is necessary to ring the alarm bell for some people, do whatever they want all day long, make the other courtyard into a miasma, really regard the other courtyard as their own home, and even forget the ancestral teachings of the other courtyard, it is really the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient......"
The old man seemed to be more and more excited, his beard raised high, and his face was full of grief and indignation.
"Elder Long, be cautious!" Liu Jiuxing hurriedly interrupted Elder Long's words, and looked outside with a vigilant face.
"Hey......"
The dragon elder sighed and didn't continue, and looked at Xue Wuxian with his eyes.
"Snow Boy, you really decided to let that Tang Fan alone crack this Seven-Star Soul Lock Array, although it has been weakened a lot, but there are still many dangers inside......!
Xue Wuxian nodded and said: "This kid's talent is okay, but he has been too little experience, so let's take this opportunity to let him grow up! I believe he can handle it."
Besides, isn't there some chance in it? Wealth and wealth are in danger, and if you want to get it, you have to pay the price, and you must let him understand this truth, otherwise it will be too easy for him to get something, which will not be conducive to his future growth. ”
"Alright then, I'll send someone to keep an eye on the situation inside, and I'll let them do it if there's a fatal crisis. ”
"No, I'll go to the peep mirror and watch it myself, Elder Long doesn't have to worry. ”
"Then I'll go with you, and by the way, see how that little guy performs!"
"Well, there's Elder Lao Long!" Xue Wuxian didn't refuse.
Elder Long didn't say much, and walked out of the main hall with Xue Wuxian and walked towards the depths of the courtyard, he had also heard about Tang Fan's talent, and now he also wanted to see Tang Fan's performance.
