Chapter 360: Double Formation
() Duan Chen took the jade bead handed by Penglai Immortal with a strange face, and after carefully observing it for a while, he couldn't help but look at Penglai Immortal with a look of doubt on his face and asked, "What is this?"
"Daoist friends only need to inject some divine power into this bead. Penglai Immortal chuckled lightly and didn't explain too much.
Duan Chen frowned, and immediately contacted the Seven Deaths Demon Monarch with his mind, and the voice said, "Senior, there shouldn't be any problem with this jade bead, right?"
"No problem, this is just an ordinary jade bead, you can check it out with confidence. The voice of the Seven Demon Lords sounded in Duan Chen's mind.
Only then did Duan Chen put his mind at ease, and immediately manipulated a wisp of divine consciousness power to inject it into the jade bead in his palm.
The next moment, an illusion immediately appeared in his mind.
Duan Chen looked at it carefully, but he couldn't help but let out a shocked voice in his mouth: "This is a Water Curtain Cave Mansion?"
"Yes, to be exact, it should be the ruins of the cave left behind after the death of a Yuanying monk. Penglai Immortal nodded.
Duan Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked knowingly, "Penglai Daoyou, what the hell is going on, how can this mission involve Yuanying Monk?"
"This ...... Lu Daoyou, it's not that I deliberately concealed it, but this matter actually involves some secrets of my Demon God Society, so I can't reveal too much to you, please understand. Penglai Xian explained slightly apologetically.
"Penglai Daoyou, you and I are not three-year-old children, this kind of prevarication is exempt, although I don't know how powerful your Demon God Society's forbidden spell is, but it is not that you can't reveal anything to outsiders, right?" Duan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice sank.
He was very sure that Penglai Immortal was lying, at least the Yuanying Monk she had just said was a traitor to the Demon God Society, and he was definitely not among the ranks of the forbidden words spell.
Otherwise, when he eavesdropped outside the big tent that day, Penglai Immortal and Ji Lang had already caused the forbidden words curse to attack because of this incident.
"This ...... Well, while I really can't reveal too many secrets to you about this mission, I can tell you about some things that aren't confidential. Penglai Immortal said after a moment of silence.
"Oh, let's hear it. Duan Chen said quietly.
"To tell you the truth, this Water Curtain Cave Mansion that we are going to explore today is the secret hiding place of a Yuanying monk of my Demon God Society in the past, this person originally had a high status in my Demon God Society, but then he somehow betrayed my Demon God Society and was jointly wanted by the major royal tribes. ”
Penglai Immortal said in a low voice: "And when this person was fleeing, he was seriously injured by a clan elder of the Netherworld Ghost Tiger Clan, and his life was short, so the above will send us Jindan monks to search for his whereabouts, otherwise, with our strength, how can we deal with a Yuanying monk." ”
"In other words, you don't really know whether this person is alive or dead now?" Duan Chen asked.
"This ...... That's true, but according to what the patriarch of the Nether Ghost Tiger clan who injured this person said at the beginning, this person was hit by a natural magic skill, and it would be difficult for him to survive for three days, so it is not surprising that this person should have fallen, and maybe his body was hidden in the Water Curtain Cave Mansion. Penglai Immortal said.
When Duan Chen heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he asked, "Then what is the purpose of our operation this time?"
"In this operation, our task is to find the corpse of this infant monk, and there has been a strict order from above, no matter whether this person is alive or dead, he must see the person alive and the corpse when he dies. Penglai Immortal said without thinking.
Seeing that Penglai Immortal Madam answered so neatly, Duan Chen couldn't help but feel suspicious, and secretly asked the Seven Demon Lords: "Senior, do you think what this Penglai Immortal said is true?"
"It's not true. The Seven Demon Lords sneered and said, "Their purpose is not as simple as finding that person's body, what is so beautiful about a dead person's body, unless there is some ulterior secret hidden in that corpse, or they want to find something from that person." ”
"Something?"
Duan Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately looked at Penglai Immortal Lady quietly and asked, "In this way, you just want to find that person's body, as for the other things in the cave mansion, they are not within the scope of your Demon God Society's mission requirements?"
"Yes, except for this man's corpse, we can divide everything else equally when the time comes. Penglai Immortal nodded, and then said in a slight voice: "Of course, the premise is that we can enter the Water Curtain Cave Mansion smoothly." ”
"Listen to what you mean by Penglai Daoyou, this Water Curtain Cave Mansion should be very difficult to enter, right?" Duan Chen raised his eyebrows and asked thoughtfully.
"That's right, this cave was first discovered by a Jindan monk of the Flame Golden Lion Tribe, who sneaked into the Little Lotus Seed Lake in order to collect some kind of water-attribute spirit grass. ”
Penglai Immortal opened her mouth and explained: "According to what he said, after passing through the water curtain of the cave in the lake, you will enter a cave mansion. However, it is a pity that this cave mansion was shrouded by an ancient array, and because the person didn't know anything about the formation, he had to return to the Flame Golden Lion Tribe to report after some cracking. ”
"Ancient Array?" Duan Chen sighed lightly and followed, "Before, you said that there will be other members of the Demon God Society participating in this mission, I wonder when they will arrive?"
"I don't know, maybe they've already entered the lake before we do. Penglai Immortal shook her head and said.
"Then let's go in and have a look, maybe the members of your Demon God Society have already begun to break the formation. Duan Chen proposed.
"It's fine. Penglai Immortal raised her head and looked at the sky, first put away the two green-haired demon puppets, and then beckoned Duan Chen, and took the lead in turning into a white light and plunged into the water of Little Lotus Seed Lake.
Seeing this, Duan Chen immediately cast a trick to avoid water, and also turned into a ray of light and sank into the water of Xiaolianzi Lake.
From the outside, this small lotus lake covers an area of only dozens of miles, but the interior seems to be bottomless.
After Duan Chen followed Penglai Immortal Mu into the lake, he kept sneaking in a certain direction deep at the bottom of the lake, and the two of them sneaked for nearly half an hour before they came to a water curtain portal hidden in the aquatic plants.
Passing through the water curtain portal, what appeared in front of the two of them was a Dongfu Square that was completely cut off from the lake.
The square occupies a circle of several miles, and there were originally more than a dozen marble columns erected around it, but now they have all collapsed, making the whole square look a little depressed and dilapidated.
And on this square, in addition to these collapsed and broken stone pillars, there were also three male demon clan monks, two of whom were the clan elders of the Na Ji Lang and the Flame Golden Lion Tribe.
As for the other person, Duan Chen was actually no stranger, it was when he first arrived in the Heavenly Fire Grassland that day, he was responsible for leading the team to inspect their Flame Golden Lion Tribe, the late Jindan Monk Di San.
"Penglai Immortal, you are finally here, if you are one step late, we will have to break the formation first. ”
As soon as Duan Chen and Penglai Immortal Mu appeared on the Dongfu Square, Ji Lang immediately sensed it and turned around and said.
"If Ji Daoyou has the ability to break the formation, just do it, after all, we are all doing things for the meeting, and whoever comes first and who comes later is the same. Penglai Immortal said lightly, and then flew down to the square with Duan Chen.
"Who is this?" Ji Lang heard this, and his eyes immediately fell on Duan Chen, who was wearing a rabbit mask on his face, and there was a hint of exploration in his eyes.
"In Xia Luli, I have seen Ji Daoyou. Duan Chen quietly hugged his fists slightly.
"Lu Li?"
Ji Lang raised his eyebrows, and immediately returned the salute with a slight fist hug without moving, and then said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce these two Daoyou to Lu Daoyou." ”
"The two beside me, one is the Flame Golden Lion Tribe's Disant Daoyou, and the other is the Flame Golden Lion Tribe's Clan Elder Yunhu Daoyou, the Cloud Tiger Daoist is now a Jindan Great Perfection Monk, I believe that with him, our trip will be extremely safe. ”
"I've seen Lu Daoyou. When Ji Lang introduced, Di Sang and Yun Hu also bowed their hands to Duan Chen respectively.
Among them, Di San's gaze at Duan Chen was a little strange, and he didn't know if he remembered something, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
At this time, I saw Ji Lang's eyes turn to look at Penglai Immortal and said, "Penglai Daoyou, since everyone has arrived, I think we can start to crack the Great Array of Protectors of this Cave Mansion." ”
"As it should be. Penglai Immortal nodded.
So, the group of five people walked through the square and stopped in front of the gate of a cave located in the depths of the square.
I saw that the entire gate of the cave was vaguely shrouded in a gray mist, and within a radius of a hundred zhang of the gate of the cave, there were also wisps of gray mist, which seemed harmless to humans and animals, but there was a hint of danger.
"Four fellow Daoists, please see, those gray mist are the derivatives of the Great Array of Protectors, when I first discovered this Water Curtain Cave Mansion, I kept attacking these gray mist, and the result was that the mana in my body was almost exhausted, and these gray mists were still derived from the Great Array. ”
Disan walked at the front, pointing to the gray fog that shrouded near the gate of the cave and said.
It wasn't until this time that Duan Chen knew that the Flame Golden Lion Tribe Monk who had discovered this Water Curtain Cave Mansion was originally this Disan.
At this time, Penglai Immortal Mad and Ji Lang and Yunhu had already begun to use their own means to probe the gray mist.
After a while, Yun Hu, who had the highest cultivation among the audience, spoke:
"This Great Protector Array looks like a Yin and Yang Double Array, divided into two parts, the outer weight is an Extreme Xuan Yin Formation, and the inner weight is a Qingyang Fire Array, so Yin and Yang are combined, and the cycle is mutually regenerating, no wonder you couldn't break this Great Array in the first place. ”
Hearing Yunhu's words, Duan Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and immediately looked into the depths of the gray mist, and sure enough, in the depths of the gray mist, he saw a round of cyan flames burning with cyan flames.
