Verse 214
And told Zhao Ning that the seventh Stygian Moon card had been found, and that the full moon night would gather at the Feiyun Cliff of Houqi Mountain.
Feiyun Cliff is very high, the sea of clouds is hazy, and the lower part of Houti Mountain is completely shrouded in clouds and mist, making Feiyun Cliff seem to float in the air, like a sacred mountain.
Zhao Ning had been waiting at Feiyun Cliff for a long time, she hid on the high branches of the big tree, the cloak of cloud silk concealment collected all her breath, and she looked into the distance inexplicably.
Hou Wai Mountain, is all this a coincidence?
Soon, the sun sets, and the full moon slowly rises high in the sky.
At the beginning of the day, there were two very shallow footsteps at the bottom of the mountain, and the footsteps went straight to the Flying Cloud Cliff.
Two demons, a man and a woman, one with lotus patterns on his face, one with a single horn on his head, they were familiar with each other, walked to the Feiyun Cliff, and did not notice the figure of Zhao Ning hiding, and saw that there were only two of them, so they chatted.
"Can this soul wood really resist the power of soul sucking and let us get through the black water smoothly?" The Lotus Demon was a little unconvinced.
"In ancient books, it is recorded that there is a kind of wood that can be used as a blackwater ferry, but in ancient times, it didn't seem to be called soul wood." The one-horned demon pondered, "But Li Ji doesn't seem to be lying, and now that we are trapped in the Netherworld Cultivation Realm, as long as we can get out, we can't let go of any clues." ”
Li Ji is the storyteller of the teahouse in the city.
"I have tested his exercises, and his exercises are indeed like the Jimu Tianhe Dafa. This Dafa requires a large number of treasures every time it advances, especially during the foundation building period, focusing on cultivating the divine soul, and even more needs the source stone, if I guess correctly, the source stone in this Dark Moon Mansion is the Yin Wind Source Stone, which is the key to his promotion to the late stage of foundation building. ”
Zhao Ning didn't look at them, she closed her eyes as if she was recuperating the gods, but the voices on the cliff fell into her ears, and when she heard the one-horned demon description of Jimu Tianhe Dafa, Zhao Ning thought for a moment that they were talking about Zhan Shen, it seems that Li Ji and Zhan Shen are practicing the same exercise, but it can be called Dafa, at least they can cultivate to the top of the Yuan Shen, to a large extent, these two people may be from the same family or sect.
"If he cultivates the Divine Soul, no wonder he is not in a hurry to ask for the Soul Wood, this Netherworld Cultivation Realm is simply his cultivation holy land." The Lotus Demon sighed.
The one-horned demon nodded, "As long as there is no threat to this Stygian Moon Mansion, this Li Ji does not need to be placed on the opposite side, and it is best to be able to form an alliance." ”
The Lotus Demon understood what he meant, and crossed his arms to look at the vast sea of clouds that sank into the darkness, "But, Senior Brother, what kind of place do you say this Stygian Moon Mansion is?" It doesn't feel like the monk cave mansion that Li Ji said, I have a not-so-good feeling, and I always feel that I will encounter something difficult to deal with. ”
"There is no danger when you are out and about." "I'm not worried about the danger, I'm wondering if there might be nothing left in this Stygian Mansion." ”
"What do you mean by that, senior brother?" The Lotus Demon was puzzled.
"Have you forgotten the story of the monk fighting that Li Ji said? If my guess is correct, then the monk is Kunxu Qin Keyuan. ”
Zhao Ning slowly opened her eyes, she didn't look at the one-horned demon, her eyes seemed to be out of focus.
"Shhh
"I heard rumors in the room that Qin Keyuan slaughtered most of the monks in Kunxu, is this true or false?"
"I don't know the specific things, but the palace seems to be on Qin Keyuan's side, and I'm afraid there are other secrets in this matter."
Hearing him say this, Zhao Ning faintly doubted their sect.
The two Underworld Demons didn't discuss the matter of Kunxu too much, and the One-Horned Underworld Demon frowned and continued the previous explanation, "However, since Qin Keyuan appeared near here, and soon after the Stygian Moon Mansion appeared, I don't believe that there is no connection between the two. ”
"But, Senior Brother, doesn't this Stygian Moon Mansion need seven Stygian Moon cards to be opened? How did he get in? Could it be that he scattered the Stygian Moon cards? ”
Faced with a series of questions from the Lotus Demon Demon, the One-Horned Demon was actually unclear, but he was sure of one thing, "I have taken Li Ji's words, he has held the Dark Moon card in his hand for at least ten years, and this Dark Moon Card should have nothing to do with Qin Keyuan." ”
"But this ......" the Lotus Pluto still couldn't figure it out, but the One-Horned Pit interrupted her, "Someone is coming." ”
The Lotus Demon immediately relented, and the two of them looked in the direction they came.
Zhao Ning looked at the full moon hanging high, the Nebula Sword Pill was placed in the Mansion of Silent Spirits, Qin Keyuan would not abandon the Nebula Sword Pill for no reason, the only possibility was to give the opponent a fatal blow by blowing himself up with Wai Dan, but the Nebula Sword Pill was not damaged, or even intact.
Is there something hidden in the Houqi Mountain that makes Qin Keyuan in the Jindan realm feel tricky?
At this moment, Zhao Ning began to hesitate to enter the Stygian Moon Mansion.
It was the black-robed demon who fought with Li Ji that day, and there was also a dark blue-robed demon with him, but they seemed to meet halfway, and they didn't get very close to each other.
The black-robed demon glanced at the demon who was already on the Feiyun Cliff, and arched his hand slightly, "Yan Ling." ”
Another person also introduced, "Jiang Yao." ”
Seeing that the two demons introduced themselves, the Lotus Demon and the One-Horned Demon also exchanged names with them, the name of the One-horned Demon was Xu Xiuming, and the name of the Lotus Demon was Xu.
"Hasn't Li Ji come yet?" Yan Ling's expression was very bad, he was very anxious about leaving the Netherworld Cultivation Realm, and he couldn't even wait for half a cup of tea.
Xu Xiuming shook his head, "He sent us a message when the moon was full, and I am afraid that he will come to that point." ”
"Speaking of which, it is said that it only took ten days to find three Stygian Moon cards?" Jiang Yao suddenly spoke, he looked at Yan Ling, Yan Ling was the new holder of the Dark Moon card.
"That's not because Li Ji is too arrogant, so he directly puts the Dark Moon card on his body to show off, as long as he sees it, he knows that this thing is special." Yan Ling snorted.
Zhao Ning's gaze slowly fell on him, and she remembered that Yan Ling and Li Ji had fought at that time, which showed that Yan Ling actually knew a little about the Stygian Moon Mansion.
This gaze immediately attracted Yan Ling's astonishment, and when he arrived at the foundation building realm, the perception projected on himself would be magnified and easily detected, which was why Zhao Ning had not looked at Xu Xiuming for a long time.
His voice made the expressions of several people around him sink slightly, and at this moment, Zhao Ning slowly flew down from the tree.
"It's you!" Hearing Yan Ling's attitude, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't have much vigilance, and the people present probably knew the identity of Zhao Ning, Xu Xiuming arched his hand, "This girl is also the holder of the Dark Moon card?" ”
"Shen Zhaoning." Zhao Ning said faintly.
Jiang Yao glanced at Zhao Ning quietly, in fact, everyone was looking at Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning let them look at him, and he didn't show anything.
Just looked at Yan Ling, "Yan Daoyou, it seems that you know some news from the Stygian Moon Mansion?" ”
This sentence made the eyes of the present focus on Yan Ling again, Yan Ling was not stupid, he knew that it must be the suspicion caused by his competition with Li Ji that night, but at this time, everyone knows what is in the Dark Moon Mansion, and hiding it may not be good for him.
"Indeed." Yan Ling readily responded, "I heard about the records of the Stygian Moon Mansion in a temple in the Great Hidden Kingdom. ”
"Temple?" This word made Xu Xiuming stunned, in the Netherworld Cultivation Realm, it can be called a temple, that is only the Ancient Hou Tu Niang Niang Temple, how can such an almost mythical temple be connected with a small Stygian Moon Mansion.
"Don't you know that the underground of the Great Youguo is the Youdu? And to the secluded capital, there are a total of eighteen gates. It is said that Mt. Goti is one of the gates. ”
Xu Xu opened his mouth slightly, "Didn't you say that the Stygian Moon Mansion is the Monk's Cave Mansion?" ”
"I didn't say that the Stygian Moon Mansion is the gate, and it's not strange that there is an Ancient Monk Cave Mansion at the gate to the hidden capital." Yan Ling said as a matter of course.
Youdu, a mythical place, is a place of death for their small foundation building realm, but for tens of thousands of years, there has been no news from Youdu, and the monk cave near the gate of Youdu should not be threatened by Youdu, but the only variable is that the Heishui River broke through the ancient seal and rushed out from under Taixuan Mountain, and this Heishui River is also from Youdu.
"Are you afraid that something will happen to Youdu?" Zhao Ning said.
"Aren't you afraid?" Yan Ling didn't deny it, "I just want to leave the Netherworld Cultivation Realm now, there is a flooding of the Black Water River, maybe the evil ghosts in the Netherworld will also come out." ”
Everyone fell silent, only they knew what they were thinking.
Zhao Ning seemed to be aware of it, his eyes swept over Jiang Yao, and he always felt that something was abnormal, this person didn't show anything after saying a few words from the beginning, and even saying this kind of earth-shattering thing to Yan Ling seemed to be just a superficial shock.
But as long as Jiang Yao didn't affect this matter, Zhao Ning didn't want to think about it.
At this moment, Zhao Ning's hesitation just now has been reined in, since Yan Ling said this, then it is possible that Qin Keyuan did not come out of the Dark Moon Mansion, but from the gate of the Hidden Capital.
Moreover, Zhao Ning felt that he had been misled by them just now, their logic was understandable, but they ignored Qin Keyuan's character, if the Dark Moon Mansion was really because of Qin Keyuan, it was really a huge threat standing here, would Qin Keyuan really ignore it and run away?
This is not the Qin Keyuan that Zhao Ning knows.
At this moment, Zhao Ning's emotions had completely calmed down.
After a while, he heard footsteps not far away, and Jiang Yao chuckled, "It seems that the master who summoned us has finally appeared." ”
Sure enough, it was Li Ji and another demon who came, the demon was burly, wearing a beast robe with slanted shoulders, and two long curved horns on his head, and on his bare left shoulder, there was a huge beast mark, which was the pattern that grew on its own.
"I'm sorry, you've been waiting a long time." Li Ji came up and gave it up.
Before everyone could respond, the last demon sneered, "You are all Terrans, and you are still pretending to transform into a demon, could it be that you show me?" ”
His words made everyone pause slightly, Li Ji seemed to know the temper of this demon demon, and said with a smile, "This is Wei Shuo, the demon of the underworld." ”
He deliberately emphasized, and everyone also understood that only Wei Shuo himself was a demon in the field, and they smiled at each other, and after a while, everyone present changed back to their original appearance, most of the foundation building realm monks who walked in the Netherworld Cultivation Realm no longer relied on the Transformation Pill, and each used the Transformation Technique to maintain the appearance of the Demon Demon, and the appearance after the change did not change much, but the dark lines were removed, and the complexion returned to normal.
Yan Ling glanced Wei Shuo up and down, "I don't know that the Netherworld Demon also imagines that we have left the Netherworld Cultivation Realm at a glance?" ”
"If you Terrans are gone, you will be gone, how can it be a matter of life or death in our Netherworld Cultivation Realm. If I catch the damned Terran, I'll tear him to pieces. Wei Shuo gritted his teeth, everyone knew that he was talking about the person who broke the seal and released the Heishui River, "I'm afraid that being trapped in the Netherworld Cultivation Realm will never be able to solve the matter of the Heishui River, I'm going to go outside and take a look!" ”
He said the most ruthless words, but his behavior was to take care of the Hades of the entire Netherworld Cultivation Realm.
With only a few words, everyone is not so repulsive in their hearts for this only demon in their hearts.
Li Ji looked around at everyone present, and finally fell on Jiang Yao, "Oh, Jiang Daoyou has already arrived, and Li is still thinking about whether to bring Jiang Daoyou over." ”
It turned out that this Jiang Yao was the holder of the last Stygian Moon card.
"It's just Feiyun Cliff, what's there to lead here." Jiang Yao waved his hand casually, his eyes fell on the full moon above his head, "It seems that it has reached the time of the child, I don't know how to open this Dark Moon Mansion." ”
This Feiyun Cliff is still the same as before, thick clouds and ethereal, dead silence.
Li Ji smiled, "Everyone, please come with me." ”
Li Ji has held the Stygian Moon card for more than ten years, and he already knows the location of the Stygian Moon Mansion well.
"Back then, I sat on the Feiyun Cliff for a few years before I determined the location of the Stygian Moon Mansion." Li Ji said as he stepped forward.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, glanced at the sea of clouds, and suddenly cast a spell, and the Stygian Moon Card had already floated on the sea of clouds, Li Ji sighed, "Fellow Daoists, it's time to sacrifice the Stygian Moon Brand." ”
The remaining six people in turn played the Stygian Moon card into the sea of clouds, and the seven Stygian Moon cards formed the shape of the Beidou, at this moment, the full moon light seemed to be sprinkled on the Stygian Moon card, the first Stygian Moon card lit up, followed by the second and third...... All the Stygian Moon cards bloomed with brilliance, and the stars in the sky were scarce, but at the moment when the Stygian Moon cards lit up, the Northern Big Dipper stars suddenly appeared, and the brilliance fell straight in front of the sea of clouds, and the sea of clouds suddenly became restless, and with the brilliance piercing like a sharp sword, a channel was formed.
Everyone's eyes shrank, and they instantly understood that this was the passage to the Stygian Moon Mansion.
Yan Ling's speed was extremely fast, the Stygian Moon card flew into his hand, and he himself also reached the top of the passage with his sword, and jumped directly into the passage.
The Demon Wei Shuo also followed, and Li Ji smiled, "If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay." ”
Everyone met and flew into the passage.
But when I first entered the passage, I found that I was not in the sea of clouds, but entered a dark place, and I couldn't feel the boundary around me, but I could feel countless yin winds dancing wildly around me, without causing any discomfort to the body, but the spirit seemed to be gradually frozen at this moment.
These yin winds directly attack the divine soul!
Fortunately, Zhao Ning used the breeze as a method of resistance, and these yin winds had no way to get close to Zhao Ning, and the breeze formed by the law was half a foot away in front of Zhao Ning's body, as if Zhao Ning was shrouded in a small light mask.
Although Zhao Ning is at ease, but out of Li Ji, others can't resist such a yin wind offensive very well.
It can be clearly seen that the Demon Wei Shuo, who entered in front, was already trembling, but Jiang Yao seemed to have nothing to do.
"Li Daoyou, I will wait for the Hades Mansion, the Yin Wind Source Stone will belong to you, we only need the soul wood, Li Daoyou has taken such a big opportunity, can you resist the Yin Wind for us at this moment." Xu Xiuming shouted, with the special nature of the Jimu Tianhe Dafa, what can Li Ji do about this foundation realm.
Li Ji glanced back, looking at Xu Xiuming and Xu Xu's somewhat embarrassed appearance, the coldness that Xu Xu felt even spread from the divine soul to her eyebrows, and the fine frost spots condensed on her brows, Li Ji laughed, "Look at what I did, I forgot that your divine souls are fragile." ”
He spoke with a faint threat, as if he was saying to everyone, although he was only in the middle stage of foundation building, if someone wanted to grab the source stone with him, he would definitely use the Divine Soul Technique to fight with them, no wonder this Li Ji had never mentioned the matter of Yin Feng from the beginning, he wanted to use Yin Feng to give everyone a dismount.
Forming a magic circle, a circle of spiritual light spread outward from his technique, gradually forming a seemingly nonexistent defense around the seven people.
But at this moment, it was clear that it could resist the erosion of the yin wind, but it was found that the yin wind seemed to have changed.
"Be careful!" Xu Xiuming pulled the permission aside, and a yin ghost actually conjured out of the yin wind and sneaked up behind the permission, but fortunately, Xu Xiuming's movements were extremely fast, and he didn't let the yin ghost succeed, and the permission was shocked, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
The frost on her eyebrows shook, and she instantly cast a spell, and the yin ghost that attacked on one side immediately dissolved in the spell.
Zhao Ning's gaze swept over the heavy yin wind around him, and between the yin wind floating, the space seemed to be constantly distorting, and those yin ghosts rushed towards their group of people.
Her figure flickered, and she quickly avoided the yin ghost that pounced on her, but as soon as she dodged it to the back, she suddenly felt it, and her body moved, and she disappeared in place in an instant.
