Inside a coral cave on a cliff.

Xi Chunxue and the others didn't know the situation outside, and they didn't continue to discuss the affairs of the twelve states, they were all meditating cross-legged, closing their eyes and recuperating, silently waiting for Duan Lingqi to come back.

Qu Hancheng was curiously looking at the water avoidance formation on the ground of the cave.

This water-sheltering circle is truly wonderful, with every moment of fluctuation on the inconspicuous fish-patterned shellfish in the center of the circle, it is like a lake beaten by gravel, and the ripples spread in all directions.

The formation fluctuations brought by the fish pattern shellfish because of this spread to the crystals that grew in the cave, and the crystal water patterns were also the same breathing rhythm as the fluctuations of this formation, and then spread to the entire cave.

As a result, although there is no flowing water in this deep cave, there is water vapor, and it breathes freely, just like land.

It's wonderful.

Su Yuanbai is still a special one in this group of people, he neither meditates cross-legged and closes his eyes to recuperate, nor does he look around like Qu Hancheng, he just leans quietly against the cave wall, standing in a position where the crystal light is difficult to shine.

The breath is slow and weak, and the breath gradually disappears, like an eternal stone sculpture standing here.

If you don't open your eyes and don't look closely, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out where Su Yuanbai is. If it was only based on the breath survey, then there was really nowhere to know where Su Yuanbai would be.

Suddenly, Xie Mu'an and Xi Chunxue opened their eyes at the same time.

Xie Mu'an's cloudy eyes looked at the mouth of the coral cave, and he felt someone break through the messy seaweed that covered the coral crevices and enter the cave.

Xi Chunxue looked at the fish pattern shell in the center of the water avoidance circle, and the fish pattern on the fish pattern shell fluctuated for a moment, causing the water avoidance circle to stagnate for a moment, which made her realize that someone had come in.

"Those who come are guests."

Xie Mu'an looked at the blurred figure in the distance, and said with a few coughs with the soul guide banner in his hand.

But this soul-attracting banner, which had always been able to shock the soul, only made the vague figure at the mouth of the cave shake for a moment or two, and did not make the vague figure immediately collapse to the ground.

Seeing this, Xi Chunxue stepped on the steps, according to the image of the Dousu and the gossip of the Nine Palaces, her figure suddenly caught the moon like a meteor, and came to the vague figure at the entrance of the cave who wanted to leave, and reached out to grab his arm.

This grasp of Xi Chunxue immediately felt that something was wrong, the scorching burning sensation from the palm of his hand was like a burning heart, and the sudden burning pain made Xi Chunxue let go of his arm.

Just as Xi Chunxue was about to protect her palms and capture them again, she found that the figure had disappeared from the entrance of the cave.

Xi Chunxue wanted to chase out, but happened to touch the barrier of the transparent formation like cicada wings, and if you looked closely, you could find that it was this transparent formation barrier like cicada wings that isolated the sea water from the coral mouth of the cave.

"Don't chase it, even if you can cast a water avoidance decision and not invade the water, the Dao Qi in your body will not allow you to withstand the pressure of this sea for a long time.

Real people must bow to the Dragon King when they come here, not to mention you, a little girl who has been cultivating for decades. ”

Xie Mu'an looked at Xi Chunxue, who was hesitating at the mouth of the coral cave, and said.

Xi Chunxue's breadth of Dao skills and knowledge were indeed rare among the Daomen disciples Xie Mu'an had seen, but when he thought that she had that magic weapon [Shanji Library], Xie Mu'an was not surprised.

But no matter how she says, she is just a little girl who has been cultivating for more than 20 years, and she is not like those monks who do predatory luck, kill people and set fires, and enhance themselves with all things.

"But if this person reports to the Canghai Dragon Palace and sends the water demon and sea monster to capture us, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to escape, so let me try."

Xi Chunxue frowned and thought for a moment, but still planned to go out to chase it in person.

"I told you, and him."

Xie Mu'an looked back at Su Yuanbai, who was standing behind the dazzling water pattern crystal in the cave, looked at Su Yuanbai's dark and calm eyes with a cloudy gaze, and said slowly.

"You really trust me, aren't you afraid that I will abandon you?"

Su Yuanbai lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Mu'an's cloudy eyes and chuckled.

"If you were such a ruthless and unrighteous person, then I would not have survived to this day, and they would have been abandoned in the underworld as a burden by you. That's why I dared to run to you at the risk of being added to the book of life and death by Yama. ”

Xie Mu'an chuckled lightly.

"You know I've been to Hades?"

Su Yuanbai asked calmly.

"I know everything about the ghosts on Sangyu Island."

Xie Mu'an bowed his head slightly and said.

"You stole the ghost artifact left in Yinbei City."

Su Yuanbai said calmly.

"Yes, I wanted to use this ghost artifact to absorb your soul and completely annihilate your soul. But it is not stealing to say that it is actually not stealing, it is that the king of Hades deliberately placed this ghost artifact in Yinbei City.

Otherwise, how could a Yin Northern City, which didn't even have temple incense, be qualified to have that Yama Hall treasure. ”

Xie Mu'an looked up at Su Yuanbai, he didn't hide it because he wanted to kill Su Yuanbai, but told the whole truth.

"What does that ghost artifact look like?"

Su Yuanbai asked.

"It's a dagger, one foot and two inches long, it can kill people and destroy souls, it is an extremely cruel and fierce weapon, and this ghost weapon has no restrictions.

Whether it is a real person in the cave or a commoner in the city, they can pick up and wave it at will, the only drawback is that this ghost artifact cannot recognize the owner. ”

Xie Mu'an said slowly.

"Is the dagger snow-white, the dagger handle is crescent-shaped, and there is a pinprick and stinging sensation when you get a little closer."

Qu Hancheng suddenly exclaimed.

"Pins and needles stinging? If the wielder of the dagger had this strong desire to possess it, he would feel this way. The impact is not great, and forcible seizure can also allow this dagger to be used for oneself.

But don't let the dagger tip of the dagger pierce any part of your body, once it pierces your skin and flesh, unless you are a monk in the Divine Journey Realm, a true person in the cave who has been cultivating for more than a hundred years, you will only die. ”

Xie Mu'an frowned slightly, then looked at Qu Hancheng and said.

"The treasure of the Yama Hall should be more than that."

Su Yuanbai asked lightly.

"The reason why this Soul Gathering Dagger can be listed as one of the treasures of the Yama Hall is because it can grow, and whenever you kill a monk, it will be even more powerful.

When I brought it in, this soul-gathering dagger was already at risk of dying under the fugue. ”

Xie Mu'an looked at Su Yuanbai, who asked him, and explained slowly.

"However, in addition to its inability to recognize the Lord, it also has the disadvantage of influencing people who are not strong-willed, and will turn these people into greedy and murderous people, and use it to strengthen itself."

"So you gave it to Tang Changhong?!"

Qu Hancheng's voice suddenly became louder, and he looked at Xie Mu'an and asked in surprise.

"Tang Changhong? It's a jailer who is on duty with you, and I won't give him such a dangerous thing. Although his prison history records killing a demon who transformed into a gentry, as far as I can see, he is an ordinary man with a little courage. ”

Xie Mu'an thought for a while, remembered who Tang Changhong was in Qu Hancheng's mouth, shook his head and said.

"Then how can he have the so-called soul dagger in your mouth?!"

Qu Hancheng asked in disbelief.

"Then it seems that the group of monks used him as a pawn, this soul dagger was originally used against this person, but unfortunately it was useless against this person."

Xie Mu'an glanced at Su Yuanbai sideways, and then looked at Qu Hancheng, who was emotional.

"Later, I used it as one of the bargaining chips in exchange for the five-hundred-year-old one-furnace, one-for-one furnace, a nine-grade immortal pill with a ninety percent probability of failure.

After all, it is far better to use the claim that there is a treasure on Sangyu Island to seduce this group of monks than to let them see for themselves that there is a treasure here. ”

Xie Mu'an said calmly.
