"You continue to patrol the town, and if you notice anything out of the ordinary, keep me informed. Watch out for hidden identities. Chen Ping confessed.

"Yes, master."

Xu Ruyan disappeared in place lightly.

Her Seven Injuries Technique had been cultivated to the point where she was approaching consummation, and unless she had a very high-level exorcism magic weapon or monk, she would not be able to perceive her existence.

It's perfect for testing intelligence.

Chen Ping himself sat cross-legged and calmed down.

Analyze the current situation.

According to these strange monks, today is the day of the full moon, and only by carving the stele can you obtain the protection of the stele and avoid being illuminated by the lighthouse.

Once irradiated, it is petrified into stone tablets in situ.

The problem is, he tried, and when he carved the stele, it would also speed up his own assimilation.

With each hammer, the body becomes bluer.

Consciousness becomes more numb, more walking dead.

… It's stuck in an endless loop.

And now, it's starting to get dark, and the moon may be rising soon.

Then he will surely die.

'These people are not evil, but they are very different from ordinary people...'

Chen Ping pondered.

Wait a minute?

Phantom Array?

Thinking of this, Chen Ping was excited.

The "Hundred Flowers Totem Array" he is currently practicing is a third-order offensive and defensive formation that makes those who enter by mistake hallucinate and even produce inner demons.

But.

That's not right.

"Hundred Flowers Totem Array" he has now practiced to the level of 'skilled', and has a certain understanding of this formation method, the so-called 'hallucination' is to let the misguided person fall into the joy, sorrow, anger and joy and sorrow of the past and cannot extricate himself, and the people and things he sees are the people and things in the stray's own life experience.

But he didn't know anyone in this town.

Moreover, the so-called phantom array is to make the misguided person fall into the illusion and cannot extricate himself, and in this case, the misguided person himself is confused.

But Chen Ping knows very well that he is very sober.

This is not a phantom array?

Thinking about this, Chen Ping's original thoughts were ruthlessly extinguished. If it was really a phantom array, he might still have a way as a formation mage.

But now it is at an impasse again.

Just when Chen Ping's thinking was in a trap, Xu Ruyan hurriedly ran back:

"Master, come back to life, come back to life."

"What came to life?" Chen Ping was puzzled.

"The nun killed by the master has come back to life."

Chen Ping's heart couldn't help jumping.

Can these monks be killed?

"How did you come back to life?" He kept himself calm.

"Yan'er doesn't know. Yan'er also discovered by chance that the female cultivator was already intact, and even the young monk who had been seriously injured by her master was hammering the stone tablet as when she first saw her. Xu Ruyan explained.

Chen Ping came back to his senses and nodded.

Soon calm returned.

There are so many strange situations here, and he doesn't react too violently to them, and he is a little used to them.

However, it can be seen from this incident that these monks are certainly not normal living beings.

It's getting more and more incredible.

"There's another thing. One of the stone tablets in the center of the town was strange, and Yan'er saw a female cultivator coming out of the stone tablet, but when she saw the sun setting here, it didn't take long for her to return to the stone tablet. The monk, like his master, was conscious and behaved normally, and he did not strike the stele as often, and seemed to be looking for a way like his master. Xu Ruyan said.

Originally, Chen Ping was not too surprised when he heard about the female restoration, but when he heard the news from Xu Ruyan at this moment, his heart stirred up a huge wave.

If Xu Ruyan is not wrong, it means that there are living people like him here.

That might give him more information.

"Yan'er just tried to enter the stele, but the stele is strange and Yan'er can't enter." Xu Ruyan said aggrievedly.

"Well, let's take a look."

Chen Ping flew back to the town again, and under the guidance of Xu Ruyan, he came to the front of the stone tablet.

He had passed this stele several times, and the plump woman who had invited him into the house was next door to this stele, still hammering the stele with her back to the street.

The stele in front of Chen Pingping is unremarkable.

No different from other stone monuments.

He looked at the darkening sky and decided to find out.

However, he didn't go in by himself for the first time, although Xu Ruyan couldn't get in, he still had spirit beasts.

After receiving the order, the Nine Shades and Colorful Cicadas turned their heads and flew towards the stone monument. Sure enough, the moment it touched the stone stele, the nine-shaded colorful cicadas disappeared in an instant.

After a long while, the Nine Shades Colorful Cicada flew out again.

Under the empathy, the situation inside the stele is fully visible.

… It turns out that there is something else behind the stele!

In the stele is a dimly lit passage, which twists and turns. The passage was littered with corpses, and blood stained the walls red. Blood forms pools of blood in low-lying areas.

Apparently there had just been a battle here.

When the Nine Shades Colorful Cicada flew to the end of the passage, it was originally a dead end, but the next second the Nine Shades Colorful Cicada was in a new environment.

- It was a beautiful peach blossom forest.

When the sun sets, the scenery is pleasant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the industrious farmers are working in the fields, the big yellow dogs are napping on the fields, occasionally raising their heads and making a gurgling sound, the children are chasing butterflies in the grass, and the smoke of the houses in the distance is curling...

It was difficult for Chen Ping to connect the scenery on both sides of the stele for a while.

There's nothing weird or bloody about it.

There's even a little bit of warmth.

Chen Ping reviewed all the visions of the Nine Shades and Colorful Cicadas, but still did not find the elements that could solve the current situation.

At this moment, a dull rumbling sound suddenly came from the direction of the sea behind him.

Chen Ping suddenly rose into the air and saw the turbulent waves on the sea in the distance, and a huge sea vortex appeared in one of them, and the vortex continued to grow. Soon the diameter reached the length of an entire football field.

Immediately afterward, the rumbling intensified.

A slender stone pillar rises slowly from the vortex in a spiral shape.

As the pillar was raised, all the monks in the town looked back with a look of horror on their faces.

"The lighthouse is up, it's over."

"Knock quickly, knock quickly, or it will be too late."

Then there was an even more crisp sound of "ding ding dong" hitting the stone stele.

“.…..”

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched, and after falling, he thought about it, and once again released the Nine Shades and Colorful Cicadas to explore the path in front, and then followed him into the stone tablet.

"Woohoo, Woohoo!"

The Spirit Boots made a sticky sound as they stepped on the blood.

Some of the coagulated blood was drawn between the soles of his shoes and the ground.

The entire passage was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Among these dead monks, Chen Ping saw the young monk, the old monk, and the plump nun...

Despite the presence of the Nine Shadows and Colorful Cicadas leading the way, he still maintained an unusual sense of vigilance.

Fortunately, it was smooth and quickly entered the end of the passage.

In the next breath, he appeared in the Peach Blossom Land Village.

Unlike when he first appeared in the small town of Hailing Island, when he suddenly appeared in the farming village, everyone turned their heads and looked at him.

Then cheered.

Even a group of people came up to watch.

"Guests, guests."

"Hello uncle, where are you from?"

"Big brother, is the outside world fun?"

"Uncle, did you bring any delicious candy?"

“.…..”

Chen Ping secretly agitated his breath and didn't let these people get too close to him.

At the same time, it was also found that these people seemed to be mortals, without the aura of a monk to speak of. The same is true of old women, so of young girls, and of young children.

At this moment, an old man dressed as a peasant opened the crowd and came over, reprimanding the group of naughty children with his mouth:

"Go, go, go. Don't scare the guests. ”

Chen Ping learned from the people's name that this old man was the village chief here.

The village chief walked over and said kindly:

"Xiaoyou is from the small town of Hailing Island, right?"

"Uncle knows the town of Hailing Island." Chen Ping asked quietly.

"What's not to know about this? Those of us are all from the small town of Hailing Island. The village chief smiled:

"It's very dangerous there, and it's fate that Xiaoyou can come to Peach Blossom Village through there."

"Xiaoyou don't have to be polite, you are from Taocun and a family. There are no rich resources here in Peach Blossom Village, but it is quite enjoyable and self-sufficient, and children will like it. ”

It's so homely.

Speaking of such a scene alone, Chen Ping would even suddenly think that he had really strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring.

But his instincts told him it might not be that simple.

Therefore, there is no more to say, just quietly wait and see, and remain vigilant.

If this is really a normal village, these mortals can't help themselves, and they can't kill them if they lie on the ground and let them cut for three days and three nights.

But if this Taoyuan Village is really still in the middle of the world, then it may not be so easy to fly out like this.

It's better to wait and see.

Sure enough, I saw the village chief clapping his hands.

Then a very moist girl came out.

Just listen to the village chief:

"The village here is much better than the outside, where is the distribution of ladies outside? There is Peach Blossom Village. Pink Peach will be Xiaoyou's lady in the future. Everyone is gone, don't disturb the little friends to do good things. ”

The girl named Pink Peach looked at Chen Ping affectionately, and bent down slightly to give a salute.

At the moment when Chen Ping's gaze met hers, she looked down at her abdomen, her hands gently resting on it, her eyes full of softness.

Then, her abdomen grew rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The Pink Peach Girl looked at Chen Ping and said excitedly:

"Husband, our child is kicking the concubine in the belly of the concubine. Husband, the child is about to be born, will you give it a name? ”

In the next breath, the peach blossom girl's abdomen recovered as before, and a baby who was still crying in swaddling clothes appeared in her hands at the same time.

Chen Ping couldn't help but frown deeply.

It's not normal here.

At this moment, a voice came: "Don't stay any longer, please come down." ”

He suddenly turned his head, and saw a figure sneaking forward quickly in the peach blossom forest.

Judging from the appearance, that person is the female cultivator described by Xu Ruyan.

Chen Ping sank, turned around and quickly followed.

At the same time, remain vigilant.

"Fellow Daoist, this way." Turning around in the middle of a peach blossom forest, the female cultivator stopped in front of the entrance of a cave and motioned for Chen Ping to follow her into the cave.

Chen Ping didn't move, although this person looked normal, it was just 'looking'.

He doesn't believe anyone now.

Seeing is not necessarily believing.

If I had to describe his current state in one sentence, it would be-

- Mom, I can't tell.

- I really can't tell the difference.

"The boudoir of the Taoist friend is inconvenient to enter. Please also tell me, where is this place? Chen Ping kept a distance and said in a calm tone.

Seeing that Chen Ping was vigilant, the female cultivator didn't care, and took a breath and said:

"It's reasonable for Daoists to be vigilant, and no one will believe it when they first come two days ago. In Shimoe Xuewei. ”

"This is not a secret realm, nor is it a real weird place, but a superb magic weapon."

"Magic Weapon?" Chen Ping's heart was shocked.

But on the surface, he maintained an expression of Gujing Bubo.

The magic weapon Qiankun and the formation are somewhat similar, but there are quite a few differences. If it's really a magic weapon, these quirks here can indeed be arranged in advance.

Jiang Xuewei first asked Chen Ping why he entered here, and only after learning that he had entered it by mistake did he give an explanation.

Originally.

This Jiang Xuewei is a sect Tianjiao, a mid-Jin Dan cultivator, and met his enemy Jia Yile when he went out on a mission.

was attacked by Jia Yile.

But Jiang Xuewei has a large number of treasures in her body, so even if she was raided, she did not fall into the disadvantage, but instead beat the other party to a serious injury, and when she saw that she could kill the other party, Jia Yile suddenly activated a superb magic weapon.

Pulled her into the middle of it.

And then trapped here.

"It just so happens that I am quite familiar with this magic weapon, and I have seen a similar one from Shizun before. There is a peach tree in this small cave, and that peach tree is the only exit. ”

"But this superb magic weapon is not something that you and I can destroy, and the cultivation in the early stage of the Yuan Infant cannot be forcibly destroyed, otherwise it will only lead to the collapse of the universe, and you and I will die in it." Jiang Xuewei explained, when talking about her nemesis, her face was full of frost.

Chen Ping couldn't see the situation in the cave clearly, it didn't matter about her and Jia Yile's grievances, he only cared about how to get out:

"How can I get out of here?"

Jiang Xuewei sighed:

"It's simple, but it's hard."

"The reason why it is simple is because Jia Yile did not hesitate to take risks in order to lure me into it, and he also entered this world. He just didn't expect that I also knew a lot about this magic weapon, and he took the exit first. As long as you find him, you will know how to activate the peach tree, and you will be able to get out of here. Although I understand the layout of the magic weapon, I don't know the method of export activation. ”

After Jiang Xuewei entered the Qiankun, because Jia Yile was seriously injured, she couldn't get to the Peach Blossom Land at the first time, but hid it, allowing Jiang Xuewei to take the lead.

After Jiang Xuewei occupied this cave, she arranged the formation as soon as possible to ensure that only she could enter the cave, so that even if Jia Yile found here, it would take time to destroy the formation, and she would make a move, and then she would know about it as soon as possible.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, she did not dare to leave this cave for a long time to avoid problems.

This is the reason why Xu Ruyan saw her enter and exit the stone monument and entered the town of Hailing Island and returned immediately after that.

"Although Jia Yile is the owner of a magic weapon, this is a magic weapon, not a formation, and he also needs to get out of here from the exit. So it's simple. ”

"But it's also hard." Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly.

"Daoyou is from the small town of Hailing Island, you should know the situation here, every person you kill over there will be assimilated, and it is not allowed to use murder to find Jia Yile at all."

"And he is the holder of the magic weapon, and it is likely that he has the means to hide himself as a townsman."

"Besides, in addition to the small town of Hailing Island, there is also this Peach Blossom Village, there are many villagers, and they can't all be killed. If Jia Yile was hidden, it would be difficult to find him. There's not much time left for me to wait, I wonder if you can do it? ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuewei's gaze at Chen Ping was full of expectation.

Chen Ping guessed that Jiang Xuewei was likely to have seen it the moment he first entered the Peach Blossom Spring, or even the moment the Nine Shades Colorful Cicada came in.

It's just that she is confirming that Chen Ping is Jia Yile's accomplice or a mistaken.

Later, it is very likely that Chen Ping was not Jia Yile's accomplice through some details, so he decided to take the risk of cooperation.

Jiang Xuewei saw that Chen Ping didn't speak, and guessed that Chen Ping had nothing to do, so she couldn't help but be gloomy.

He lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

I waited for a companion, but I still couldn't solve it.

"Jiang Daoyou just said that there is not much time left for me to wait, what does this mean?"

Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly:

"Daoist friends came in from Hailing Island, don't you know? On the night of the full moon, only by entering here can you survive and steal your life. ”

As the townsfolk say, bathed in the light of the lighthouse, it will turn into a stone monument on the spot, and there will never be a day of transcendence.

One way is to sacrifice oneself, to be willing to be assimilated, to constantly carve stone tablets, to sacrifice one's soul, and to seek the protection of the god of stone tablets.

Another way is to enter Peach Blossom Village.

There are flowers, wine, and food, as well as the company of beautiful women, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly.

But entering Peach Blossom Village is not without a price.

Not only that, but it's brutal.

That's folding a long life.

A 30-year life span in one night.

This is still the number of life discounts without contacting those villagers, once you contact the villagers, you will deduct more life expectancy.

It's possible to grow old overnight.

"After Daoyou entered here, he not only married a lady, but also gave birth to a child, which is not a long time. This period of contact is enough to reduce life expectancy by 200 years. That is, if you can't go out tonight, when the sun rises tomorrow, Daoyou will suddenly deduct 230 years of life. ”

Chen Ping looked at Jiang Xuewei suddenly, a burst of anger almost exploded, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow:

"When I entered the Peach Blossom Spring, Jiang Daoyou probably saw it a long time ago, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xuewei hurriedly explained:

"Don't blame Daoyou, if there is no such process, it is impossible to determine whether Daoyou is Jia Yile's companion, so I don't dare to appear rashly."

Chen Ping understood what she meant.

If he was Jia Yile's companion, he would have come to kill her.

Then he should know that there is no contact with the villagers.

Even if it is for the sake of fake play, they will not be in contact for such a long time, because they are not sure that they will be able to solve Jiang Xuewei quickly, and once they can't solve it quickly, they may even consume their Shouyuan first.

Jiang Xuewei was a little upset, and hurriedly explained:

"I know that you must have hatred for me, and no matter how much Jiang Xuewei explains this, I'm afraid it won't be able to eliminate Daoyou's resentment."

"But don't worry, the reduction of longevity is not a decrease out of thin air, but like being eroded by evil, it is like being eroded by evil, and it is immortal reason to damage one's own foundation to make people age instantly."

"In this case, as long as we can come up with this magic weapon, the master under is the head of the Yuanying, since there is also this kind of magic weapon, there will naturally be a spiritual fruit to make up for it. Jiang Xuewei can obtain this spiritual fruit for Daoist friends at that time, make up for the foundation, and naturally restore longevity. ”

Chen Ping didn't say anything.

forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Shou Yuan is what he has been pursuing, the thing he values the most......

It's a thorn.

But now is obviously not the time to pursue these, the top priority is to find Jia Yile.

It's to get out of the way.

If you can get out of the world after dawn, then your longevity will not be affected at all.

"Jiang Daoyou thinks that Jia Yile is more likely to be in Peach Blossom Spring, or in Hailing Island?" Chen Ping asked.

Jiang Xuewei saw that Chen Ping's face softened slightly, and exhaled lightly:

"It's hard to say, it's his turf. However, I prefer that he stayed on Hailing Island. Jia Yile was seriously injured and needed to practice secretly. Peach Blossom Village is not big, all under my divine sense, and there is even less room for him to operate secretly... ”

If it is the Peach Blossom Spring, Jiang Xuewei can check and guard the exit cave at the same time.

But if it is Hailing Island, Jiang Xuewei is a little out of reach.

"Even so, every night for thirty years, you and I are all Jindan, as long as we don't contact these villagers in the Peach Blossom Land tonight, we can return to Hailing Island tomorrow. And Hailing Island is only in danger on the night of the full moon, so I still have a lot of time to investigate slowly, but I don't need to reduce my lifespan, right? ”

Chen Ping has the impression that every month is also a full moon night, which means that Hailing Island is safe at other times.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly again:

"Daoyou is wrong. It is true that the lighthouse does not shine until the night of the full moon. But the problem is, every night here is a full moon night. ”

Every night is a full moon night?

This is another new news that Chen Ping heard.

Just when I was surprised, I heard Jiang Xuewei say:

"In addition, I have set up a dark bureau in Peach Blossom Land before, and I will continue to investigate a few suspicious villagers in Peach Blossom Garden tonight. If nothing comes of it, we will continue to think of other ways tomorrow. In any case, even if you are desperate, you will not give up easily. If you don't want to cooperate, I can't force it. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuewei's eyes were firm.

Chen Ping didn't say anything.

He looked up at the sky, where the sun was setting and the night was falling.

… The time of day here is about the same as that of Hailing Island.

… You have to act tonight to find out Jia Yile, otherwise the price of 230 years of longevity is too great.

Too big to bear.

He really had no intention of cooperating.

But he didn't worry about Shouyuan's problem at this time, and when he figured out that as long as he found Jia Yile, even if he was dead, he could understand the way out of the world, he was extremely relaxed.

In his heart, a way to find Jia Yile has been quietly figured out.
