Chapter 10: Showdown (Seeking Follow-up)
"Sister Wen, you're worrying too much..."
Ji Bochang was relieved, and chuckled disapprerovitously: "We have been together day and night for more than a year, if I encounter something, can you not know?" ”
"No..."
Wen Ruyu shook her head, looked him in the eye, and said, "You are a little absent-minded today, you must have something to hide from me." ”
"Thoughts..."
Ji Bochang smiled dumbly, but quietly let go of her hand, and then said meaningfully: "Sister Wen, two years are coming soon..."
“……”
Wen Ruyu's expression couldn't help but be in a trance when she heard 'two years is coming', and even the fingers holding the pen trembled slightly.
Then I didn't know what I thought, and I chuckled casually: "Yes, two years, it's fast." ”
"I still remember Sister Wen, when you first learned Yanshu carving, I didn't dare to talk to you loudly, and I screamed one by one."
Ji Bo often showed a bit of nostalgia and said with a smile: "This is a blink of an eye, and even the Yanshu rune seal with the spirit puppet has almost been learned." ”
Wen Ruyu muttered a little distracted when she heard this: "Almost? ”
"It's almost."
"But ......"
"That's me picky..."
Ji Bochang waved his hand to interrupt what she wanted to say, and then took a long sigh of relief and said, "The materials you prepared are abundant, and there is room for mistakes. ”
“……”
Wen Ruyu looked at the manuscript paper on the table, only gently pinned the hair scattered on her forehead behind her ears, and suddenly smiled: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Ji Bo often lay down on the recliner, pursed his lips and muttered, "I can't bear it." ”
"That's all?"
"That's all..."
"That's what you mean..."
Wen Ruyu suddenly turned to look at him as she spoke, and then laughed in a teasing tone: "Now you are willing to give up?" ”
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Nature is the truth."
"Still reluctant..."
Ji Bo often looked at her, and also said in a joking tone: "Such a gentle and beautiful, high cultivation, or a good sister of the second turn alchemist, who can be willing to give it?" ”
"Oh~"
Wen Ruyu nodded abruptly, and asked with a smile, "Then why don't you continue to be picky?" ”
"I don't want to delay you..."
Ji Bochang let out a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "You set a two-year deadline, and even don't hesitate to become a puppet to be made, it must be very important to you, how dare I delay?" ”
“……”
Wen Ruyu was silent for a while, and then said, "That puppet is really important to me. ”
Ji Bo often asked disappreciatively, "How important?" ”
"I'm dying..."
"Huh?"
Ji Bo often heard that his pupils shrank, and he suddenly stood up from the recliner, and then stared at her directly, and asked with a little anger: "What did you say!?" ”
"I said..."
Seeing him behaving like this, Wen Ruyu just smiled softly and weakly, and then said word by word: "I'm going to die soon..."
"You ......"
Ji Bochang's face turned pale for a while, and his clenched fist was a clattering sound of knuckles, he took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Ancient Secret Realm, you shouldn't have heard of it..."
Wen Ruyu couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought that he only had a second-level Qi refining cultivation and didn't understand many things.
After pondering for a while, he explained, "It is a secret realm that is jointly mastered by Xianxia Mountain and several other major cultivation forces, and it is opened once every thirty years.
There are quite a lot of prohibitions and heavenly treasures inside, and there are also some caves or inheritances left by other monks.
The last time I opened it, I had just been promoted to the foundation building period, but I didn't restrain my greed and signed up.
I wanted to open my eyes and experience it, but I never thought that I would encounter a cave mansion left by an ancient monk in the ruins, which touched the prohibition and fell into the Yuan Devouring Curse. ”
She paused, then rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white and tender arm, but there was a small cyan mark on the forearm.
The sigil seemed to be some kind of sigil, and it had a sense of evil just by looking at it.
"This Yuan-devouring spell is extremely weird, and the person who is in the spell has no other reaction, but the speed of the passage of Shouyuan has intensified, ranging from several times to dozens of times."
Wen Ruyu looked at the cyan mark on his arm, and said with a calm face: "My Yuan Devouring Mantra is relatively light, and the speed of Shouyuan has increased tenfold.
The lifespan of a monk in the foundation building period is about 300 years, and more than 20 years have passed since I was struck by the mantra..."
Her voice paused, and she said disapprerovantly: "If you calculate carefully, if there is no other means to continue my life, I will live for another year and a half at most." ”
“……”
Ji Bo often heard her say that she could only live for another year and a half, and couldn't help but be in a trance, and after coming back to his senses, he frowned and asked, "What about Xianxia Mountain?" Sister Wen, aren't you a disciple of Xianxia Mountain? ”
He seemed to have found the key, and hurriedly asked: "There are so many Jindan Yuanying masters in Xianxia Mountain, and you are a disciple of the sect, can't they solve this Yuan-devouring spell?" ”
"Heh......"
Wen Ruyu couldn't help but smile when she saw his hurried appearance, and said helplessly: "You, you, sometimes you look at the city quite deeply, and sometimes you look simple and cute." ”
Seeing that her expression was a little displeased, she patiently explained: "Xianxia Mountain is a major sect of cultivation, dozens of Jindan real people, and several Yuanying Zhenjun.
Do you know how many monks there are during the foundation building period?
Not counting some penances that have been in retreat all year round and do not ask about the world, the monks who built the foundation under the gate of Xianxia Mountain, there are nearly 1,000 people recorded in the register...
Not to mention that the Yuan-devouring spell is an ancient method that has long been lost and unsolvable, even if the real person in the door can really dissolve the Yuan-devouring curse, if there is no relatives and no reason, why should they help me? ”
"Why is it so indifferent..."
Giber often wondered how to respond...
"This is a lonely city, far away from the cultivation world, and it's normal that you can't see the indifference and cruelty there."
Seeing his posture, Wen Ruyu said to herself: "In the future, if you want to gain a foothold over there, you can't be as simple as now, otherwise you will be eaten and there will be no bones left." ”
"What about you?"
Ji Bo often snorted coldly when he heard her preach, and retorted disappreciatively: "How did you gain a foothold in the cultivation world with such a temperament?" ”
"I didn't stand still..."
Wen Ruyu pursed the corners of her lips and smiled, pointed to the Yuan Devouring Spell on her arm, and said, "Look, I'm not about to die?" ”
“……”
Ji Bo often breathes sluggishly, and for some reason, every time he hears her say that she is dying, she feels an inexplicable sense of irritability in her heart.
He took a deep breath and calmed down before asking, "So, what do these things you said have to do with that puppet?" ”
"It could save my life..."
Wen Ruyu pondered for a while and explained: "Although I was hit by the Yuan Devouring Spell in that ruins cave at the beginning, I also found some things, and the simplicity of the puppet jade in the foundation building period you saw was one of them.
This Yanshu puppet is called 'Mirror Flower', and after refining, it can be cultivated with the life of a monk, and it is as difficult to distinguish the true from the false as a mirror flower when defending against the enemy, which is regarded as a tricky method of incarnation outside the body. ”
"Out-of-body incarnation?"
Ji Bo often frowned when he heard this...
He had seen similar methods in some biographical books, saying that some Jindan Yuanying Great Cultivators could refine external incarnations...
The cultivation of some incarnations is not even much worse than the main body, and when defending against the enemy, the main body and the incarnation go into battle together, with many enemies and few enemies, and there are many means.
"It's really tricky to be able to refine the incarnation outside the body during the foundation building period, but the incarnation is a foreign means that comes from itself after all, and you can't even keep yourself now, what's the use of refining the incarnation?"
