After Chen Ping said goodbye to a few fellow Daoists, he continued along one of the dark and damp tunnels.

The tunnels here are intricate, and strictly speaking, Chen Ping doesn't know whether he is going forward or backward.

The only thing he was glad for was that the secret passages here looked chaotic and criss-crossed, but he read a little bit of formation in them.

Perhaps the dungeon itself was meant to make it more difficult for intruders to travel.

Or maybe it's for some kind of ritual.

Chen Ping himself was a top-level second-order array mage, and he had already cultivated to the level of the Great Perfection of the psychedelic array that was specifically used to trap the enemy.

The understanding of the second-order formation has reached its peak.

This is also helpful for him to find his direction in the dungeon now, and he can vaguely see which passages may be forks in the road, and which passages may be the right direction.

Therefore, there are many skills and no pressure.

Sometimes he himself would question whether he had spent too much time on the cultivation of all kinds of miscellaneous skills, and it was not fragrant for him to increase his cultivation.

But when it really came to this moment, I realized that it was all worth it.

These are life-saving techniques.

Empty cultivation won't work here.

If he didn't know the formation, he could only rely on Meng, like other monks at the moment, to choose the path all by Meng, and start over again if he made mistakes, constantly trying and making mistakes.

The problem is that the more trial and error, the more danger there is.

Of course, even if you can distinguish the 'door of life and the door of death' with the knowledge of the formation, even if you walk on the path of the gate of life, it does not mean that you are safe.

It is even more likely that the seimons will be trapped.

So always be cautious.

'Huh? ’

'Is there a text?' ’

At this moment, when passing by a secret passage, Chen Ping found that the stone wall was actually engraved with words.

This phenomenon occasionally occurs in the many tunnels he has walked. But none of this text has the charm.

The text in this place is contained in ancient texts.

Chen Ping couldn't fully understand it, and some of the words he didn't even recognize, and he could only read a small part of the meaning. But in this limited and understandable text, he relied on his comprehension of countless spells to perfection, and he vaguely felt that these words were not simple.

It's just not about what's so special.

'There's still a painting?' ’

Chen Ping saw that at one end of the text, there was also a picture of a beautiful woman bathing in a small size, in which several women were lifelike, and the water in the hot spring seemed to be flowing, misty and steamy.

A slender and unobstructed leg of the beautiful girl who came out of the bath seemed to be about to step out of the picture......

Wait a minute?

Wrong?

How can the paintings on the stone walls be so lifelike?

Chen Ping hurriedly shook his head, looked over again, and saw that the beautiful woman's bathing picture was only carved from rough stone, how could there be any fog?

Where is there any fair skin?

Chen Ping subconsciously touched the evil talisman in his arms, but he was still only slightly hot, and he did not have the kind of fierce reaction when he encountered the evil spirit.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

But his intuition told him that this painting was by no means simple, and how could it be simple to make him a Jindan monk almost look at it?

He left quickly.

This dungeon is full of weirdness, curiosity will kill cats, so it's better to be careful.

Just after he walked out a few feet, the huge painting behind him trembled slightly, and three beautiful women from the bath appeared in the tunnel without warning.

With Chen Ping's resentment of not touching the scroll.

Chen Ping walked ahead, slowed down, and slowly touched the evil talisman in his sleeve with one hand, he felt that something was wrong.

There was a creepy feeling coming from behind.

"Broken~"

Before Chen Pingren could turn around, a few evil talismans were thrown out, and at the same time, dozens of Heavenly Punishment Thunder Halos were shot out with his backhand.

He didn't know what was behind him.

In short, it's right to strike first as soon as possible.

At the same time, the figure retreated again, and in the process, I turned around and saw three beautiful women out of the bath ghostly flashing into a tunnel, dodging the thunder and lightning aura and a few talismans, and after the spell disappeared, it appeared in the tunnel again strangely, from far to near in the blink of an eye.

Stood in front of the giant painting.

Dressed in transparent wisps as thin as cicada wings, he looked at Chen Ping with a bewitching smile, without making a sound or a word during the whole process, but as if his whole body was talking-

- Come on, come here.

Chen Ping didn't succeed in a move, knowing that he had met an opponent. These three demons were probably many times more powerful than the one he had just encountered.

As soon as his consciousness moved, more than a hundred evil talismans slapped at the wall on the left at once, and when he turned around, more than a hundred evil talismans were also discharged to the wall on the right again.

The evil charm is valuable, but life is even more valuable.

Fortunately, my evil talisman is enough.

More than two hundred talismans went down, and the Dao rhyme law of righteousness brought by the talismans quickly circulated along the wall under the guidance of Chen Ping's spiritual power, and then became one.

The fork in the road, including the tunnel, was also completely sealed.

He needed to seal these forks in the road, completely blocking the retreat of the evil spirit.

The three female evil cults didn't seem to expect this monk to throw out so many evil charms at one time, and they were all anthropomorphic and stunned for a moment.

This is completely beyond the normal level of understanding.

A little suspicious of evil creatures.

However, they were only slightly stunned, and the moment they saw Chen Ping blocking their retreat, they all burst out and rushed towards Chen Ping.

Chen Ping threw out more than 100 evil talismans in the air.

On the other side, the three evil spirits saw that the talisman was too dense to dodge, and they actually rushed directly towards the evil talisman flying in the air, regardless of it.

The evil charm exploded on them, causing them to let out a series of terrible screams.

But it didn't stop them from moving forward.

Chen Ping's scalp was numb, and the moment he threw out the evil talisman, two thousand years of ten thousand thunder bamboos appeared in his hand, and the thunder and lightning aura of heavenly punishment and thunder were thrown out as if they didn't want money.

The sound of "crackling" resounded in the dark passage.

Evil screams came and went.

The three evil spirits were completely enraged, and pounced in the direction where Chen Ping was, and were hit by hundreds of evil talismans on their bodies, but they didn't die, and even continued to move forward.

Chen Ping was shocked.

So he threw out more than 100 evil charms.

The evil cult that was still holding on suddenly showed despair, and when he turned around, he wanted to escape back to the ancient painting, but the dense aura of thunder and lightning never stopped.

Goblin.

Go to hell.

"Crackling~"

The three female demons let out a terrible scream, reached out to the ancient painting, but found that their hands were blown off in an instant, and they couldn't get an inch in and let go of Chen Ping, regrettably finding that almost the entire tunnel was a thunder and lightning halo.

In the end, it was blown up without a trace and completely annihilated.

For the sake of safety, Chen Ping did not dare to stop, and bombed the open space one after another.

It wasn't until the Evil Charm didn't emit any heat that it stopped casting.

It's so thrilling.

It's good to bring a little bit of a talisman.

Fortunately, Heavenly Punishment Lei Xiu is a little more proficient.

Otherwise, it's really troublesome today.

Chen Ping recalled what he saw when he first arrived at this secret passage, judging from the traces at that time, there should have been some monks passing by here, and he didn't know how many people had suffered.

These three demons are obviously not ordinary goods.

At this moment, on the picture scroll on the wall, the three bathing beauties have become dim, even if they look at it with their eyes, they can't see any bright eyes and good charm.

It was a very clumsy picture.

"It's strange, there is obviously evil in this painting just now, but why didn't the evil charm emit any heat when I passed by here just now?" ’

There was no fever or burning even when I was in a hallucination. ’

'This painting not only contains evil spirits, but also shields them from evil spirits?' ’

When Chen Ping thought of this, he was not only surprised.

In what he had learned in the past, evil could be artificially controlled. For example, the demon cultivator has a secret method that can turn the soul of the demon beast into a demonic evil after death, and the power is greatly increased.

But this kind of evil spirit is just as strong.

As long as you get close, the evil charm will definitely heat up.

The means that can hide the evil spirit, Chen Ping has never heard of.

'There is a trick in this world, and I don't know if this painting has something to do with trickery?' ’

If this painting is just a magic vessel or something that contains evil spirits, then what about these ancient characters that are not fully recognized? ’

Chen Ping thought about it and drew the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword.

With a swing of the ancient sword, four sword qi flew out, neatly cutting the picture scroll and the stone wall engraved with words, and then swung the sword again to split the rectangular stone in two.

The scroll is about one zhang long (about 3.3 meters) long and less than half a zhang wide.

The same is true of the text stele.

Chen Ping used his spiritual power to hold up the two stone tablets, put them down, took out a stack of evil charms, and pasted the front and back of the two stone tablets one by one, and then put them into a separate storage bag.

He knew very little about the strange and had no way of knowing what the value of the words and scrolls was.

Let's take it back first.

When the time comes, I'll look for some information.

Chen Ping put away his things, swallowed a pill of Qi Gathering Pill to replenish his spiritual power, and then quickly left the land of right and wrong.

……

Soon after Chen Ping left, two Jindan, one Zhuji, a total of three monks, hurriedly came to the secret path where Chen Ping had just fought.

"Senior, just, that's it."

Monk Zhuji pointed in the direction of the other end of the dark tunnel, and his tone was tinged with palpitations and luck in his life:

"The younger generation saw with his own eyes a senior in the early stage of Jindan who was entangled by evil there, and at the end, he was dragged into a painting, and the younger generation was far away and ran fast, so he picked up a life."

As he spoke, he stepped back behind the two golden pills.

What he didn't say was that he still had a withered scar on his upper arm that had been wounded by evil energy.

"Coward, what's there to be afraid of with an old man?" The white-bearded old man in the late Jindan period scolded.

Although he said this, the old man couldn't help but stir his Adam's apple.

None of the evils here are simple.

Sometimes it is not always possible to rely on realm suppression alone.

Moreover, according to the younger generation of Zhuji, this evil is so powerful that it can directly devour a golden pill in the early stage.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhuji monk begged him to save the Jin Dan who was dragged into the painting in front of this group of monks, he boasted about Haikou in advance, and he couldn't pull it down, so he wouldn't want to come to this troubled water.

"I've been standing here for so long, the evil has never appeared, I guess I've already run away, according to the old man, there is no need to go over, what does Zhu Daoyou think?" The white-bearded old man said lightly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged Jin Dan next to him suddenly relaxed his clenched hand, and hurriedly surrendered his hand:

"What Li Daoyou said is very true."

After a pause, he felt that it was not safe, and added:

"The evil cult is the most sensitive to the living, and since it hasn't appeared for so long, it can't be still there."

"Wait." As soon as the old monk raised his hand, the released divine sense saw that there were no ancient paintings at all in the place described by the monk Zhuji.

There is only a large hole in the stone wall.

The tunnel is also special, the water stains are completely burned dry, and everywhere is charred black.

His body moved, and the next second he appeared in front of the hole, his mouth slightly open in surprise.

The two people in the back also rushed over.

Li Daoyou ...... "The middle-aged Jin Dan just wanted to ask what the situation was, and he saw the flat hole.

"Little friend, in that picture scroll, are there a few pictures of beautiful women in the bath?" The white-bearded old man asked lightly.

“…… Be. Monk Zhuji's face was full of puzzlement, for fear that the two seniors would misunderstand him and lie, so he hurriedly said:

"Seniors, the juniors said the truth, although the juniors were very far away at that time, but the Jindan seniors were with sparks, and the juniors can still see every move here, here is a picture of a beautiful girl bathing, lifelike."

"Beasts." The old man looked at the wall and sighed:

"Who is it? I actually brought the evil man home with the bath. Don't even let go of evil, a model for my generation! ”

Two people behind him: ......

"That's not right." The middle-aged Jin Dan knocked on the ground:

"Nearly a foot of soil on this ground has been burned to the ground, this ......"

Several people looked at the secret passage again, only to find that it was scorched black everywhere.

"It took at least five or six monks to shoot at the same time to get to this point."

"It should be."

“……”

Chen Ping cautiously walked through the tunnels, and after walking like this for a while, he saw that the passages were getting wider and wider, and the water stains were becoming fewer and fewer.

Occasionally, you can see some quirky stone sculptures.

The roof of the cave is also getting higher and higher.

Until a noise came into Chen Ping's ears, and after visiting, he saw that he seemed to have walked to a core area of the underground palace.

It was a large cave house.

There are many familiar figures in the cave.

Xiyue?

"Division...... Younger sister. Chen Ping was overjoyed and rushed out of the dark passage.

This joy is not only the joy of seeing Xiyue, but also the joy of seeing the large army and temporarily out of danger.

"Yu ...... Elder brother. "Xiyue is also a joy.

can make Xiyue call his brother, Chen Ping has a bad taste, and there is an inexplicable sense of pride.

"Sister, brother is worried about you, but fortunately you are alive." Chen Ping went over and hugged her around his arms.

Xiyue was stunned for a moment.

Then one foot stomped Chen Ping's instep.

Chen Ping......

'Don't get me wrong, do a full set of plays, how can there be a brother who is not excited to see that his sister is still alive? ’…… Chen Ping passed on quietly.

Xiyue gritted her teeth and smiled.

"What's going on here?" Chen Ping let go of the soft master everywhere and looked around for a while.

The cave is very wide, like a small square, and there are some sculptures, some murals, and some collapsed ruins around the cave.

There were twenty or thirty people in the cave.

It seems that not many people have arrived here.

When these people saw Chen Ping coming in, they only bowed slightly, and continued to look up at an ancient pagoda in the center of the cave mansion.

Only a few Taoist friends who knew Chen Ping greeted Chen Ping from afar, and when they saw Chen Ping and his sister hugging each other, they didn't come over to disturb him.

"Listen to the guardian of the ancient tower over there, this is the central area of the dungeon. If there is a way out of the canglan hidden in the underground palace, then it is most likely hidden here. Everyone is now discovering the secret. Xiyue said with a serious look in her eyes.

No wonder.

No wonder everyone seemed very busy, and there wasn't much to greet even when other Taoist friends came in.

It turned out that they were looking for a way out of the Canglan grassland.

"Let's not talk about walking out of the Canglan grassland, how can this dungeon get out? Doesn't anyone care about this? Chen Ping said in a low voice.

"There is no need to worry about this, the passage was opened by Jiang Youwei and the three of them together, and we were all sucked into the underground palace at that moment. But this ancient formation was not completely destroyed, and after a certain period of time, we would be thrown out again. Xiyue whispered, in public, she consciously avoided the self-proclaimed 'seat'.

Chen Ping scolded in his heart.

I'm afraid those ancient tower guardians already knew this information, why did they hide it from everyone?

Sure enough, the immortal cultivation world only has interests, and there is no honesty with each other.

Even if it's for the same goal.

"Angry, right? But it's understandable, if you had known this in advance, would you have explored everywhere? No, you'll just stay where you are and wait for the moment you're thrown out. ”

Xiyue seemed to see through Chen Ping's resentment, and said softly, as an old antique who had lived for hundreds of years, she seemed to have already looked down on all this.

I saw human nature clearly.

Chen Ping thought of something and asked mockingly:

"If one day, the Master needs to perform a certain act in order to achieve an extremely important goal, and this act is likely to put the disciple in an extremely dangerous situation, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die, will the Master do this?"

The question may seem frivolous, even teasing.

But Chen Ping didn't ask casually.

In fact, it has a purpose.

According to the dialogue between Jiang Youwei and the withered old man, as well as the honest monk's soul, it can be seen that there is either no way to get out of the Canglan Grassland, if there is, then this method is bound to be related to the imprisonment of the demon world to the human world.

When stepping out of the Canglan Grassland means breaking this kind of imprisonment, how will Xiyue choose?

It is necessary for Chen Ping to know this.

He would never let himself be trapped in the Canglan Grassland for the rest of his life. He wants to live forever, and he wants to live with the heavens.

Rather than spending a limited lifetime here.

"I know what you want to ask, rest assured, even if there is no way to have the best of both worlds, I will not ignore your life and death, I owe you a life. But don't worry, trust me, I can find the best of both worlds. Xiyue's beautiful eyes stared at Chen Ping's eyes, earnestly.

Chen Ping didn't know for a while if she knew what she was going to ask.

But her serious expression gives a sense of trustworthiness.

"Don't talk about that, why are there only so few people here? How long have you been here? Chen Ping changed the subject.

Xiyue straightened her body:

"Me? I've been here for a long time. ”

"It's been a long time?" Chen Ping was surprised.

"Yes, when I fell in, it happened to be just two tunnels outside this cave, and I quickly came here. What about you? Not in danger, right? Xiyue asked rhetorically.

Hiss.

Chen Ping's heart was like a lemon.

It's really more popular than people.

I worked hard and went through a lot of hardships, just like Tang Seng learned scriptures, and finally came here.

As a result, someone was born in Rome.

What's the fun here?

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Chen Ping's chest is tight, that is, qi.

But when I thought about it, I was so lucky compared to the dead monks I met on the road.

"Well, it's good that you're not in danger. We will also seize the time to find out if there are any clues, and strive to get something before we go out. Xiyue looked at the center of the cave and said:

"According to the guardian of the ancient tower, I am afraid that there is not much time left at this moment, at most it is only the time of a finger of incense."

Chen Ping nodded.

He looked around again, the cave was very large, and there were not many people, but it seemed that someone was scrutinizing every key point.

"There is one more thing, this dungeon seems to be protected by a formation, can you figure out what kind of formation this formation is?" Chen Ping asked softly, seeing that Xiyue was puzzled, he continued:

"I know you can't break this ancient formation on your own, I mean, is there a possibility that there is a loophole that can easily enter and exit if you stumble into a similar environment one day. Even if it's not a few people, as long as you and I can get in and out. ”

Xi Yue's eyes raised:

"The formations in other places may not be such formations, and the most important thing is to avoid entering them as much as possible."

"But I can find a way to explore this formation, whether I can understand its fur, then I don't know."

"Hmm." Chen Ping bowed.

He also mentioned it casually, after all, the ancient formations of the Canglan Grassland are everywhere, and it can be regarded as thinking about the future for himself in advance.

As for whether you can get something, then let it be.
