Chapter 12: Death (1)
The white clouds covered the sky with a sea of clouds, and the pleasure of the sword and the sky for nine days released the depression in his heart, and the freedom of this moment made Lu Hanxiao's heart open.
"The area of this site has been recorded in great detail in ancient texts." Wu Shiliu stood in the air, fluttering long sleeves swaying in the wind between her arms, at this moment she was like a nine-day fairy descending into the world, "That battle of righteousness and demons killed and injured countless people, and under the ancient riverbed below, which was inhabited by the outer cowards, there was a great array of demons on Yama Island."
"Yama Island has returned to its old land, and it must still be obsessed with plundering Kyushu, and now there are a hundred confused Cana people here." Lu Hanxiao sighed wistfully, "I'm afraid that after a thousand years, I will wait for the righteous path to fight the demon path again to prove the way of heaven."
The floating clouds above the sea of clouds fluttered, and the wind became stronger, and the Fifth Ting Imperial Sword, who was following the back of the group, approached, and she held the hair around her ear and said, "Senior Brother Lu, Master Lisheng and I have already inspected the realm below." She pointed to a low sand dune below, "It's less than two miles away from the Morgana camp, it's quite high, I can go down and rest for a while."
"It is inevitable that the long-term ethereal spiritual power will be consumed too much, so it is better for me to wait for the Fifth Senior Sister and go down to rest for a while." Lu Hanxiao looked at Wu Shiliu, "Senior Sister Martial Arts, I see that your cultivation has entered the fourth realm, but your spiritual power is not restrained, staying in the sky like this is very draining on your mind, what do you see?"
Wu Shiliu nodded reservedly, and then floated down first.
The four of them went down to the sand dune, squatted down after collecting the wooden fish magic weapon, he stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeves slightly on a sand dune, and the sand suddenly retreated like a river flowing backwards, revealing the formation patterns in the ancient riverbed.
"Yes, this is the corner of the big array." "If you want to start a battle, you should build a high platform in the center of the formation and sacrifice human blood, and the great array will be revived."
"According to Master Kong's words, the Demon Dao should have been prepared." Lu Hanxiao stood on the sand dunes and looked at the high platform on the big ship not far away, "The platform has been completed, and there are so many sacrificers, why are they not moving?" Z.br>
"I have been practicing with my teacher in the pavilion for many years, and my teacher often familiarizes me with the scriptures of the righteous path, and there are quite a few records of the demon path." Wu Shiliu's voice was soft, making people listen like a spring breeze, "The Cana people swept the sand and restored the original appearance of the formation, which should be to set up formation flags in various places and corners. Later, if the sacrificers entered the great array and were afraid, they would not be able to escape. Furthermore, the ancient books had stated that this Yin Evil and Evil Formation still needed seven Fifth Realm cultivators to cast the spell together before it could be enough to activate the Great Array."
"So to speak." Fifth Ting strangled the rattan strap on her shoulder, and the hanging curtain of the bamboo basket shielded her from the scorching sun, "For many days, I have been "feeling" in the sky above, and there is only one breath in the Cana military camp that is strong enough to reach the sixth realm, but I have not noticed other spiritual powers, it seems that there is only one demon Taoist in this military camp."
He sat in the sand with one hand, he tugged at the placket of his chest with one hand to let the breeze in, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with the other, Lang smiled and said, "The Fifth Benefactor doesn't know that Yama Island was formed by the merger of several branches of the Demon Dao a thousand years ago, and there are countless secret methods recorded in it, and the secret method of hidden qi is unique in this world, and we monks can't reach it. It's normal not to notice it. Alas, the heat is dead, and the wind blows hot."
Fifth Ting approached and squatted down to take out a pu fan from the bamboo basket, she handed it over, smiled and said, "Master Sheng, give."
"The fifth benefactor is kind-hearted, and the little monk is really happy to bestow this great favor." He took the fan and fanned his face, and asked with a smile, "The fifth donor has allowed someone?" The appearance of the flower and moon born by the donor is actually a race over the immortals. The little monk traveled all over Kyushu, but he had never seen such a beautiful woman as the benefactor."
Hearing this, Fifth Ting immediately stood up and turned sideways, and the curtain fluttering in the wind danced upward, revealing her delicate reddish face, and she said, "How did Master Lisheng say the words, I ...... I'm not pretty."
Lu Hanxiao listened, the hand hidden in his sleeve shook slightly, and he walked over for some reason, blocking between the two, and then took the gourd from his waist and handed it over, saying, "Uh...... Fifth Senior Sister, drink some water."
Li Sheng glanced at Lu Hanxiao with a smile, and when he saw him at such a loss, he smiled and turned his head away.
"Look, everyone." In a brief silence, Wu Shiliu suddenly pointed not far ahead, "There is a strange movement."
Lu Hanxiao and Fifth Ting hurriedly ran towards the top of the sand dune, while Liao Sheng got up panting and supported the ground, holding his fat waist and speeding up his steps slightly to keep up.
The four of them peeked behind the sand dunes, and Lu Hanxiao looked at the yellow sand of the desert that was being blown by the wind, and asked inexplicably, "I didn't see any abnormal movement."
Wu Shiliu raised her finger and pointed to a certain place in the yellow sand, saying, "Look carefully at that piece of sand."
Hearing this, the three of them frowned and stared ahead, Xu Mo After a while, the yellow sand blown by the wind slid horizontally to one side, but the sand in the center was slowly bubbling outward, with inconspicuous grains of sand.
It does require a careful sense of observance, as the wind blows slanting and horizontally, and the sand grains only flow in one direction. And the sandy land that Wu Shiliu found, the yellow sand on the ground seemed to be blown up and scattered into the air, and then returned to one place with the wind.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "There's something under the sand."
"I hear breathing." Fifth Ting's ears moved slightly, "I'm very sensitive to sound, there's something on the ground breathing, it seems to be a human."
Lu Hanxiao raised his head vigilantly, glanced at the barracks, and didn't see any soldiers walking here, he turned his head and asked, "Are you sure it's a person?"
Fifth Tingben was a little hesitant, but after listening carefully for a while, she nodded affirmatively.
Lu Hanxiao pondered for a moment, summoned his long sword and clenched it, and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Fifth Ting suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said urgently, "Wait!"
Lu Hanxiao turned his head in confusion, and suddenly heard a rapid popping sound from the sand, and a large area of flying sand rose high like a fountain, and then the sand around it sank into it at the same time, revealing a big hole!
The four of them lowered their bodies and peeked behind the sand dunes, and then they saw a hand suddenly poking out of the sand hole, which was holding the sand and climbing upward, and soon a human head covered by a black turban and a cloth appeared!
Wu Shiliu lowered her voice and reminded, "Look at his arm."
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other, and when they landed, they found that this person was wearing a black power suit, and the arm that came out was pitch black, without the color of normal people's flesh and blood, as if it was black charcoal.
"This is a tempered demon hand, painless and unconscious, as solid as a rock." "It's one of the branches of Yama Island, the Bloody Alliance, it shouldn't be wrong."
The man in black climbed out of the sand hole and tore off the cloth covering his mouth and nose and gasped, then turned around and reached out to put his hand on the outstretched hand in the cave and pulled up a person.
There were more than a dozen black-clothed men in identical clothes crawling out of the sand holes, and they walked out of the sand holes and then walked towards the barracks.
Lu Hanxiao made up his mind and said, "When they leave, let's go down and see what's in this sand cave."
The three of them nodded, and then waited quietly, and when the men in black were far away, they quietly touched the sand dunes and descended down the sand hole to the ground.
The sand cave was not as dark as they had imagined, and after descending from the hole, the quicksand was blocked by solid stone walls on all sides, and the walls were clinging to hedras of different shapes.
A hazy glow of fluorescence emanated from the hedrons, illuminating the passages throughout the sand cavern, and there was a faint sound of wind in the air.
"The cave has wind, and there's an exit at the other end." Lu Hanxiao noticed this, and he looked around at everyone, "Be careful in everything."
He took the first step and said calmly, "My Buddha's Vajra Dharma can be the pioneer, I will go ahead, and you will respond later."
Lu Hanxiao bowed his head, he protected Wu Shiliu and Fifth Ting behind him, and the four of them probed one step at a time, and walked inward cautiously.
There is a sound of ticking water in the sand cave, and the water droplets from the hedron fall to the ground to form puddles, and insects climb on the stone walls, and when they hear the sound of footsteps, they rush to the hidden places.
"This hole is natural, and it doesn't look like it's been dug by hand." Wu Shiliu looked around and looked around, "These crystals are also very peculiar, and they contain spiritual power."
"No, it's not a hedroon." Fifth Ting approached and observed as she walked, "This is a medicine, called the Death Stone."
The big swagger of the life
With a big swing, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "I have heard of this thing, the stone of the past is a rare and strange thing, and there was once a presiding officer in the temple who got a piece, but it is the size of a fist, and you can recall the memory of your past life when you touch it."
The fifth Ting jumped over the puddle, and Lu Hanxiao reached out to take her.
She smiled, and then said, "Yes, one of the peculiarities of this stone is like this, my predecessors in the Baicao Hall once left a notebook, which records that if this stone is crushed into powder, and the fairy grass is refined into a demon pill, it can pass through the Parkway, and the spiritual power is doubled, which is the spiritual elixir to improve cultivation. Only this Dan has a drawback."
Lu Hanxiao looked at the spar and asked suspiciously, "What's the drawback?"
"This pill is called 'Love Pill', and if mortals eat it, they will fall into an endless cycle of reincarnation, and they will not suffer for the rest of their lives for the love of their lives." The bamboo basket on Fifth Ting's back squeaked hoarsely, "But if a cultivator eats it, the 'Thinking Demon' in the Seven Demons will be confused, and according to that codex, the demonic nature is comparable to the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation that has been cultivated to the seventh realm."
He wiped the sweat stains from his chin, and then opened the robe to his navel, he rubbed his stomach and patted it like a winter melon, and said, "People suffer from love, I don't know if the fairy suffers from love. Alas, there is no end to the sea of suffering, Amitabha."
"Here we are." Wu Shiliu reminded, "You can't move forward."
The three of them turned to her in confusion when they heard this, and Lu Hanxiao pointed to the unobstructed passage in front of him and asked, "The road ahead is smooth, why can't you go?"
"Senior Brother Lu, please take a look." Wu Shiliu walked around the three of them to the front, she stared ahead and said, "After arriving here, the surrounding rebirth stones are gradually scarce, especially here." She raised her eyes and stared, "It's too strange to have no living stones on all sides."
Fifth Ting walked up to her with a bamboo basket on her back, she looked carefully at all sides, and said in amazement, "Yes, what about the dead stones on all sides?"
