After the earth-shattering battle in the Chixi Emperor's Mansion, the price paid by Xiao Tianhe's side was not unmiserably, and Wei Chifeng was seriously injured and passed by death in a thrilling way. Meng Zhang, the two realms of the prison soldiers, and several subordinates of Jin Chanyu, a total of fifteen demon clans, were also greatly injured by the division of the demon spirit orb, and they could not recover in a short time. The only thing to be thankful for is that the purpose of this rescue operation has been achieved - Ye Linglong has finally been rescued.

When Xiao Tianhe and Zhou Wenxuan saw Ye Linglong in the water prison in the deepest part of the cave, her condition was not much better than that of Wei Chifeng. The water in the dungeon was waist-deep, muddy and smelly, and the water was full of iron cones, high and low, some of which came out of the water, and some of which were submerged under water. Ye Linglong was tied to a waterwheel, and the waterwheel slowly rotated under the effect of the magic circle, and she was immersed in dirty water again and again, suffering in boundless darkness and pain day after day.

A good girl, who has been tortured to the point of being inhuman, and her spirit is on the verge of collapse. Her eyes were so red and swollen that she couldn't see anyone, her ears were bloodied and the blood was dripping and she couldn't hear it, her hands were white and swollen from the sewage, and her neck, wrists, and ankles were worn out by the tight ropes, and the wounds were festering in a horrible place. When Zhou Wenxuan and Xiao Tianhe broke open the prison door, Ye Linglong was in a half-conscious state, and she didn't even know who was in prison.

The miserable situation made Zhou Wenxuan unbearable, and he said this at the time: "Tsk, they all say that Ji Yuqiu is lustful and spoils beautiful women, and now it seems that his methods of destroying flowers with his hot hands can be called extremely vicious, and he can't bear to treat a girl like this......"

After a few days, Xiao Tianhe often unconsciously recalled the situation in the water prison, and every time he thought about it, his heart was like a needle prick. However, after Ye Linglong was carefully treated by Hua Qingyu, in just a few days, except for the festering wound that still needed some time to recover, other places had basically recovered.

In order to make it easier to travel, Xiao Tianhe bought a carriage and marched quickly towards the west. Since all the demon clans are now recuperating from their injuries in the two realms of Meng Zhang and the Prison Soldiers, they are unable to fight, so in order not to cause trouble, they avoided all the big state cities along the way, and only settled in the countryside and small towns.

Finally, seven days after leaving Yanxuan City, under the nourishment of many pills, Ye Linglong finally came to her senses. The complexion is getting better and better. The beauty is still the original beauty. In order to cover up the wound, Zhao Xianglin specially tied a beautiful scarf and ribbon for her, and the whole person looked new. When she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Tianhe's concerned eyes, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she threw herself into Xiao Tianhe's arms and cried loudly.

Xiao Tianhe was a little overwhelmed, and he was embarrassed to caress her back, so he could only comfort him monotonously: "Okay, okay, it's all over, don't cry." ”

Zhao Xianglin and Hua Qingyu looked at each other and smiled, exited the carriage and sat in the seat.

After the crying stopped, Ye Linglong rubbed her eyes and got out of Xiao Tianhe's embrace, calming her sobbing gasps: "Xiao Gongzi, I really didn't expect to see you again, thank you for saving my life." ”

"Hey, do you still need to be so polite to your teammates who share weal and pain?" Xiao Tianhe comforted her, then restrained his smile and asked, "By the way, why did Ji Yuqiu arrest you and torture you like this?"

Ye Linglong sighed faintly and slowly told the truth of the matter.

In the southeast of the Chiji Domain, there is a large city called "Yutian". And Ye Yuansheng, the head of the Ye family, that is, Ye Linglong's grandfather, was originally the city lord of the city. The cause of everything originated from a southern tour of Ji Yuqiu, the Red Emperor in the early years. At that time, after he arrived in Yutian City, Ye Yuansheng respectfully welcomed him into the Ye Mansion.

Ye Yuansheng is good at formations, and the courtyard of his home is the place where he practices formations. Ji Yuqiu was also like this, and the two talked happily. After the banquet that night, the competitive Ji Yuqiu asked Ye Yuansheng to set up a long and short formation with each other. The emperor had an order, but Ye Yuansheng didn't dare to disobey, so the two of them came to a formation exchange in the courtyard. The result at that time was that Ji Yuqiu was slightly better. This matter should have ended smoothly, but Ji Yuqiu already coveted Ye Yuansheng's formation in his heart.

Although the magic array laid out by Ye Yuansheng was not as powerful as Ji Yuqiu's magic circle, it was extremely numerous, and the power of the group array should not be underestimated, which simply subverted Ji Yuqiu's previous understanding of the formation. Ji Yuqiu is a greedy person, and his pursuit of beauty and formation may never be satisfied. So, before leaving Yutian City, he asked Ye Yuansheng for the method of arranging the formation.

Although Ye Yuansheng was reluctant, he still told Ji Yuqiu about the layout method of the group array. After Ji Yuqiu returned to Yan Crossbow City, although he practiced in every possible way, he never reached the strength of Ye Yuansheng's magic circle. With his keen intuition, Ji Yuqiu guessed that the layout method of a certain magic circle of the Optical Ye Family was just a matter of learning from it, and he couldn't comprehend the true essence at all, and it would not work to get a glimpse of the whole picture. If you want to learn, you have to learn this kind of group formation routine. For this reason, Ji Yuqiu visited Yutian City again.

In order to prevent Ye Yuansheng from cherishing himself and keeping it secret, the cunning Ji Yuqiu first caught the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion for questioning, and thus learned an amazing secret - the way of the Ye family's formation was not created by himself, but learned from an esoteric formation book. For Ji Yuqiu, this is very simple, as long as he gets that classic, he can completely understand the mystery of the group array!

However, when he asked Ye Yuansheng for the classics as the emperor, Ye Yuansheng flatly denied it. This annoyed Ji Yuqiu. As a result, the Ye family's life in the Chixi Domain began to be uneven, they were targeted everywhere, and the position of the city lord was also revoked for trumped-up crimes, and the Ye family's momentum plummeted.

"The tree fell and scattered", and the people who were originally good friends with the Ye family abandoned it one after another.

"The wall fell down and everyone pushed it", and the people who had offended the Ye family fell into the well one after another.

The final result was that the Ye family was scattered, the head of the family, Ye Yuansheng, was nowhere to be found, and the famous family declined.

Hearing this, Xiao Tianhe was full of emotion. Although Ji Yuqiu's greed and discontentment are the bane, the Ye family is because of one

The price to pay for the classics is too great.

"You don't know, the formation classics of this family are passed down from the ancestors, and the Ye family has gone forward to study the way of the formation for generations, and finally achieved this achievement. Grandpa's formation level has actually surpassed Ji Yuqiu, but he deliberately lost to him slightly for the sake of face. With Ji Yuqiu's cunning, how could he not see it? Besides, the way of our Ye family's formation was a novelty that he had never seen or thought of before, and it was only a matter of time before he coveted it. Ji Yuqiu is not only greedy, but also has very little energy. He has always regarded himself as 'the number one in the world in the formation method', how can he allow another family to threaten his position in the formation one? Grandpa, he had actually guessed a long time ago, whether the classics are handed over or not, it is inevitable that our Ye family will fall in the middle of the road. Ye Linglong shook her head sadly.

"And then?"

"Since it is the same result whether to pay or not to pay, why bother to cheapen that guy? People who are familiar with my Ye family know that the Ye family has always been a powerful man, and at this time, the disadvantage of having fewer people has become a benefit, making Ji Yuqiu unable to target it all. In addition, Grandpa was far-sighted and set strict rules for the Ye family's people who practiced the formation - to study the classics according to the level of the formation. Therefore, the grandfather is the only one in the Ye family who knows the entire classic. In the end, at a critical moment for the family, the grandfather destroyed the book, dismissed the children of the clan, and then disappeared. Although Ji Yuqiu later caught several Ye family disciples, he was never able to know the full content of the formation law books. ”

Xiao Tianhe was overjoyed: "It's okay." He's only a part of the classics, and if he's all proficient, he's still going to have it?"

Hua Qingyu, who had been listening outside the carriage, interjected: "So Ji Yuqiu pointed the finger at you, trying to force you to tell the content of the part of the classics you practiced, right?"

Ye Linglong was noncommittal.

Xiao Tianhe was puzzled: "It's strange, since the Ye family's rule is to practice classics according to their level, then it should be that the higher the level of the formation, the more they know the content of the classics." Could it be that the Ye family's formation level that was captured by Ji Yuqiu is not as good as yours? I think his 'Ten Thousand Demons Piercing Heart Array' is already very strong, and it is not at all like what a person who is new to the group formation routine can deploy. ”

Ye Linglong bit her lower lip lightly, her expression was slightly hesitant, and finally she sighed and said gently: "You are my life-saving benefactor, and I won't hide it." My father and mother died early, and my grandfather brought me up. Among all the children of the Ye family, the one he loves the most is me. Fortunately, I still have some talent in the formation, and I have always lived up to my grandfather's expectations. Shortly before my grandfather's disappearance, he taught me the entire text, not to understand it all, but to memorize it. After I memorized the last word, my grandfather burned the treasure that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Ye family on the spot. As she spoke, tears the size of beans welled up in her eyes.

"I see!" Xiao Tianhe handed Ye Linglong a handkerchief, "Ji Yuqiu didn't know how to learn about this, so he arrested you and put you in a water prison for questioning." ”

Ye Linglong wiped away the tears: "Actually, he just guessed, but he wasn't sure." I know that as long as I don't let go, he won't be willing to kill me, but I really don't know how long I can last anymore after being tortured day and night. There were times when I wanted to die, but I had to persevere when I remembered my grandfather's expectations and the burden I had on my shoulders......"

"Then why didn't you find a secret place to hide, and instead went to Feiyun District to participate in the evaluation competition?"

"Ji Yuqiu searched everywhere for me and my grandfather's whereabouts, and I am alone, where can I hide? Why don't you go to the evaluation competition and join the Lingwei Demon Army as soon as possible, I guess Ji Yuqiu shouldn't have thought that I was hiding in the army, right? Even if he found out in the future, it should be inconvenient for him to casually arrest another person in the Great Emperor's army. However, it turned out that I miscalculated. Because of the time outside the Yaoming Forest, 'the road was uneven, draw a sword to help', we offended Bi Gongzi. Bi Gongzi later told Marshal Bi about it, and Ji Yuqiu happened to be present because he went to Feiyun District to observe the unique evaluation competition, so he ......"

"No wonder I felt that you were eager to pass the judging competition, it turns out that there are such twists and turns......"

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and He Tianyao probed in and gave Ye Linglong a thumbs up: "Miss Ye is chivalrous and courageous, not afraid of power, which is really admirable." From now on, you don't have to worry anymore, almost all of us in this carload of people can't get along in the Terran realm, let's go to the Demon Realm together and have a good time!"

"Haha, Tianyao is right, there is always a place for us in the world. Besides, Ji Yuqiu suffered this catastrophe, so it should be more restrained, right? As long as you stay with us, you will be fine. Zhao Xianglin said.

"Hmm!" Ye Linglong burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you, I will live and die with everyone in the future!"

"Miss Ye, in fact, what you should thank most this time is not us, but those demon friends who sacrificed their lives in order to defeat Ji Yuqiu. Especially Wei Chifeng, if it weren't for his superb formation, we would all have to be planted in Ji Yuqiu's hands. Xiao Tianhe deliberately mentioned Wei Chifeng's name.

Ye Linglong asked, "Oh, is the demon clan's formation master, and where is he now?"

"He's very badly injured and won't be in front of you anytime soon. However, he has always had a wish, he wants to accept an apprentice who learns the formation, I don't know if you ......"

"Of course I do! I can't ask for a formation master who is evenly matched with Ji Yuqiu as a teacher!"

"Haha, that's great, everyone is happy!" Xiao Tianhe clapped his hands and laughed.

"Miss Ye, let me ask you one last question. Zhao Xianglin took a deep breath, "Can you tell me, what is the name of the Ye family's array law book?"

This question also reminded the others that the three people in the front of the car and Xiao Tianhe in the carriage were all staring at Ye Linglong's pair of red lips.

Ye Linglong was shocked by the actions of several people, and stammered: "It's called, it's called "Ancient Formation Cheats",

What's wrong?"

Everyone who had been staring with bated breath exhaled in unison, and said in unison with a little disappointment: "Oh......"

......

There was nothing to do all the way, the carriage passed through the Chixi Domain and the Lingwei Domain, and Xiao Tianhe and his party finally stepped into the realm of the Demon Clan. According to the original plan, it should have been Wei Chifeng who took them directly to the main altar of the insect department-Wanming Cave. But now there is no one to guide the way, and the demon clans in the two worlds of Meng Zhang and the prison soldiers are all recuperating and healing, and it is inconvenient to summon them out. So Xiao Tianhe had no choice but to drive the carriage and continue to march west.

Soon, the complicated terrain could not continue to travel by car, and the five had to switch to walking. Mountains, ravines, rivers and swamps are inconvenient to travel through because they are uninhabited everywhere and there is no way to find them. However, the inaccessibility also caused exotic flowers and plants to emerge along the way. This season is in early winter, and most of the flowers and grasses are withered, and almost all the rest are strange poisons and medicines. Hua Qingyu spends two hours a day picking, drying, grinding, and alchemy, and is very busy. In addition, the barren mountains and mountains are rich in mineral deposits, and they are also a good place to replenish silk poison.

Day after day, everyone went deep into the realm of the demon clan for a long time, except for a few poisonous snakes and beasts, they did not encounter the demon clan. After a long time, everyone almost forgot that they were in the vast and boundless demon domain.

In the early morning of this day, not long after the group embarked on the journey, an abyss crossed in front of everyone. The road ahead is blocked, and you have to think about trekking through this moat. However, the chasm is long and wide, and it takes a lot of time to go around and down to the bottom of the abyss. After careful observation, the terrain on the opposite side of the abyss is higher, the mountain rock on the cliff wall is abrupt and rugged, and there are still many old trees growing on the cliff head, so everyone decides to look for the tree vine to rub into a rope when it is empty, take the trunk as the hanging point, take the protruding mountain rock as the foothold, and then climb up along the vine after swinging over.

However, at this time of year, it is not easy to find strong vines. Hua Qingyu, who knows all the idle flowers and wild grasses, told everyone that some trees and vines are green and hollow, which is equivalent to being dead. The sturdiest vines are those that are dark brown in appearance, half-buried in the soil, or even completely embedded in rock crevices. In order to improve efficiency, everyone went their separate ways. Xiao Tianhe and He Tianyao worked in pairs to collect thick rattans for rope strands, while Zhao Xianglin and Hua Qingyu collected thin vines for rope tie ropes. Everyone decided to let Ye Linglong, who had just recovered from her injuries, rest on the spot, but she was lonely and insisted on going with Zhao and Hua, so that Hua Qingyu could also spare her energy to continue collecting strange flowers and plants.

"The little white flower over there is called 'Wuding Flower', which is very peculiar, and its smell is fragrant and smelly. The incense is highly poisonous, and the roots and stems are injured by the flowers, which is equivalent to completely draining the essence. Although the stinky one is the same in appearance, the white flowers bloom late and fail early, and the upper end has already died before the toxin has been formed. Therefore, its rhizome is full of sap, which can be harvested, mashed and dried to obtain a white powder, which is a good medicine for eye diseases. Hua Qingyu pointed to the distance and introduced to the two.

"Oh, there are such strange flowers?" Ye Linglong seemed very interested.

Hua Qingyu continued to gush: "There is also the red grass over there, called 'Southward Grass', as the name suggests, among the eight blades of grass, only the one facing due south is useful......"

The three of them walked all the way, Hua Qingyu said all the way, and Ye Linglong also listened all the way. Compared with Ye Linglong's interest, Zhao Xianglin seemed a little absent-minded. She walked silently on the edge of the cliff a few steps behind, occasionally peering down into the abyss.

Hua Qingyu noticed her abnormality, and turned around to remind: "Be careful, the morning dew is slippery, it's better to stay away from the edge of the cliff." ”

"Hmm......" Zhao Xianglin replied vaguely, but still did not move away from the edge of the cliff.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Linglong stopped.

"You ...... Don't you think it's a little weird?" Zhao Xianglin looked down at the bottom of the abyss again, and an evil wind suddenly blew, ruffling her hair.

Hua Qingyu and Ye Linglong glanced at each other, and replied in unison: "No, what's weird?"

Zhao Xianglin frowned slightly, and shook her head slightly: "I can't say it either." Every time I look at the bottom of the abyss, I feel an inexplicable surge in my heart. ”

Hua Qingyu smiled: "Are you palpitating, right? Looking down from such a high place, it is indeed a little crazy." ”

"No," Zhao Xianglin denied, "The abyss on the west side of the Eight Kings Camp used to be as good as this, and I once looked down on the depths, and I know what it feels like to have palpitations." But this time it's different, and that feeling is ...... It's amazing, it seems...... It seems like there are a lot of hands beckoning to me underneath without stopping......"

Ye Linglong shuddered: "Don't look down! I once heard that there is a terrifying abyss that will 'eat people', when you look down carefully, you will feel that there is something attractive at the bottom of the abyss, and the body will unconsciously lean forward more and more, and the final result is to fall into the abyss and be crushed." I guess the bottom of the abyss may be the souls of those who have fallen behind, and they have been constantly attracting others to fall into it......"

Hua Qingyu explained with a smile: "Heh, I call that state 'high cliff vertigo', but in fact, it is just that those people's hearts are full of fear of falling off the cliff, and they feel dizzy after looking down for too long, so they can't control their bodies and cause them to fall down." 'Cannibalistic abyss' or something, it's just a rumor. ”

"But even if I don't look down, I still have that strange feeling. And it doesn't seem to be dangerous, but full of ...... The call of gentleness, as if ...... It was as if I was tired of playing outside when I was a child, and my mother called me home, and I was very yearning and attachment in my heart, and that wonderful feeling of warmth ......" Zhao Xianglin made an analogy with her indescribable state of mind.

Hearing her describe it in such detail, Hua Qingyu and Ye Linglong had to believe that she really felt weird, so the two of them also walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. But no matter how long they stared, they didn't notice anything unusual except for a bout of dizziness.

But when Hua Qingyu raised his head, he suddenly screamed.
