Chapter 22: The Ancient Array
After rescuing Yuan Qiang from the underworld, he concentrated on recuperating from his injuries for a long time and didn't come out to make trouble, and he didn't have much energy to toss when he thought about it. Honestly abide by his duty, and after tens of thousands of years, the Emperor of Heaven will die, and the supreme position will still be the first heir of the god clan.
Shao Yu promised a long time ago to help Jiuxi find her life experience, but after being delayed by the Thousand Clans Ceremony, she was reminded by Jiuxi who was thinking about it, and she was indeed idle in recent days, so she promised to accompany this little girl to the mortal world to investigate again.
Jiuxi was still a little worried about the matter of the Buddha Lord Qiantu, and heard that Senior Brother Shaohui had asked the master, and now he seemed to be sealed by a large array, so he took Shaohui to take her to a few places where there might be a large array seal.
After wandering in the mortal realm for a few days, there was no news of the big array, but on the contrary, there was a lot of interest in touring the mountains and rivers all the way. Jiuxi was still a little unsatisfied, so he received a bird message from his master Qingyao, saying that a friend who knew him had touched a fierce formation in Huaqing Mountain, and he had absorbed the essence of tens of thousands of living beings in Huaqing Mountain, but now he didn't have a single grass. The upper realm did not know about this matter, and he urgently needed to go back to report to his master to ask for assistance, and he heard that the disciples of the god of war Qingyao were now in the mortal realm, so he could only ask them to suppress it first.
Remembering that he hadn't played enough in the mortal realm last time, he was called back by his master to participate in the Thousand Clans Sacrifice of Nalaoshzi, which also caused his senior brother to be in a bad mood and get angry and almost punished him for confinement, Jiuxi was a little resistant, and this time the master gave them some trouble.
My own master really feels uncomfortable for a day if I don't make trouble for them.
But after all, it was the master's instructions, and the two of them had no reason to refuse. Jiuxi, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly remembered that the master's letter mentioned a fierce array, and suddenly became interested, could it be the big array that imprisoned the big devil Qiantu?
The two rushed to Huaqing Mountain in the clouds, explained the situation to Xuanqing Daoren, a disciple of the Eastern Chong'en Holy Emperor who asked Qing Yao for assistance, and thanked him again and again.
Shao Hui exerted his strength into the formation to investigate what was sealed in the array, but he did not find a trace of breath, but the fierce qi leaking out of this fierce array continued to devour the surrounding vitality, in order to prevent the spread of the fierce qi, Shao Hui had to first seal the entire Huaqing Mountain spell.
After the seal was completed, he was about to suppress the big array with Xuanqing, but after thinking about it, Shao Yu still flew the curious little girl with her arm to a hundred miles away, "You wait here obediently, and after the senior brother takes care of it, he will take you to eat West Lake vinegar fish and braised hooves." ”
She had been thinking about the delicious food for a long time, Jiuxi swallowed her saliva and knew that even if she resisted, the senior brother would not take her back, so it was better to wait for the news here honestly, anyway, the senior brother would help her find out whether it was the Buddha Lord Qiantu who was sealed in the big array.
After thinking about it, she smiled and agreed, and waved her little paw to reassure Shao Hui that she would definitely wait obediently for Senior Brother Shao Hui to come back.
Seeing this, Shao Hui returned to the same place, and worked with Xuanqing to suppress the big array.
It is also said that this Xuanqing Daoist is unlucky, originally this Huaqing Mountain is located in a remote place, not like Zhong Lingyuxiu in other places, and there is usually no way for the immortal ghosts to come here to cultivate and make trouble. Xuanqing happened to encounter a snake demon in the mortal world to harm people, adhering to the compassion of the immortal family, so he wanted to surrender the snake demon to eliminate harm for the people, but he didn't want this snake demon to practice for thousands of years and his mind was sound, so he slyly avoided him for a few days and fled to this barren mountain.
Xuanqing immediately informed his master Dongfang Chong'en Holy Emperor with a voice note, but the emperor and his old man were in retreat and did not receive his news, so he had no choice but to send a message to Qingyao Shangshen, the head of the five extremes of the god of war who discussed the aisle with his master when he taught the Tao in the thirty-six Heavenly Dao Venerables.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was still important to be a friend, after all, as soon as he died, there was no one to play chess and drink with him, and it was inevitable that there would be a lot of fun in his long life. So he explained the matter to his apprentice with a letter.
But I don't want this fierce array to be really powerful, being suppressed by the two at the same time and still having the power to resist, constantly eating the mana of the two, Xuanqing Daoist gradually lost his physical strength, Shao Yu saw this and he pumped mana together, to avoid the final backlash too much and go crazy.
Xuanqing Daoist gasped twice and said with a wry smile, "It's the contemptible people who are not good at cultivating that makes Shaojun laugh." It seems that the contemptible people and the young monarch joining forces are not enough to completely suppress this fierce array, and they have to find another way. ”
Shao Yu pondered for a while, "The only way to do this now is to ask the Dao Elder to go to the Saint Emperor to suppress it." My junior sister and I tried our best to suppress it here, and the Taoist chief went and came back quickly. ”
Daoist Xuanqing knew that this was the only way, so he thanked Shao Yu and hurried back to the master to find his master.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shao Yu withdrew the mana of suppression, and drew one of his three souls and seven souls to defend this place. That soul is the fetal light and the corpse dog. Whether it is a human being or a god, there are always three souls and seven spirits. After death, the three souls and seven spirits return to the underworld, waiting for reincarnation. The three souls and seven spirits of the gods can leave the body freely, but after the body is gone, the soul is scattered. The three souls are the fetal light, the cool spirit, and the ghost, and the seven spirits are the corpse dogs, the arrows, the birds, the thieves, the non-toxic, the defilement, and the stinky lungs are the souls of the heavens. The Seven Spirits Corpse Dog is used for visual recognition and identification.
Shao Yu pulled away the corpse dog's spirit, his vision was impaired, and it was somewhat inconvenient to see. But the immortal lacked a soul and a soul, it didn't hinder, he got used to it for a while, and flew to the place where Jiuxi was.
The little girl was really waiting here honestly, and she didn't move away at all. Shao Yu couldn't see her figure clearly, but he could feel the clean breath that belonged to the little girl shrouded in the fierce aura, and instantly fell in front of her, holding her soft little hand, "Are you hungry? Senior brother will take you to eat something delicious." ”
The little girl's happy response came from her ears, "Okay!"
There were no good restaurants near Huaqing Mountain for food, so Shao Yu took her to fly down after flying the clouds for a while, and there was an inn in front of her that was brightly lit and the smell of food was overflowing.
Shao Yu pulled Jiuxi in, and immediately a shopkeeper came forward to greet him, "Are the two guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
"A West Lake vinegar fish, a braised hoof, and a pot of Junshan silver needles. The two sat down at a table and chair by the window, and said in a whisper.
"Come right away!" the shopkeeper hurriedly went to greet the food.
Jiuxi's head leaned against the window to enjoy the night view outside, and he remembered and asked Shaoxi, "Senior brother, who is sealed in that big array?"
Shao Yu glanced at her, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were not as clear as usual, and she squinted and said, "I don't know." ”
Jiuxi, "....... "Oh.
"When the Xuanqing Daoist invites the Holy Emperor Chongen tomorrow, you can ask him face to face. Shao Yu soothed the little girl who became a little depressed.
She immediately smiled, "Good!"
A burst of aroma came, and the well-roasted West Lake vinegar fish and braised hooves were served. Jiuxi asked about the familiar aroma, and his index finger moved, and he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, the entrance was delicious, with a crab flavor, tender and sweet and sour. The hoof is also soft and rotten, oily but not greasy, and the taste is mellow. Jiuxi ate happily, and her little belly soon bulged.
Shao Yu only drank Junshan silver needles one by one on the side.
After Jiuxi finished eating, Shao Xi asked for two more guest rooms and led Jiuxi upstairs to rest. Jiuxi was so sleepy that she fell asleep without saying a few words, and Shaoxi tied a small silver bell to her wrist, and if Jiuxi shook the bell for something, he would know.
When the eye is impaired, the ear is extremely sensitive.
Jiuxi slept until dawn, and after waking up, he couldn't see Shao Hui for a long time, and he shook the bell in his hand and saw Shao Xi appear. He went to Huaqing Mountain early in the morning to check the situation of the big array, and the fierce qi was leaking more and more, and the sealing and suppression could not be delayed.
Fortunately, in less than half a day, Shao Yu received a voice from the Xuanqing Daoist and asked him to go to Huaqing Mountain quickly. He didn't feel at ease when he left Jiuxi alone in the inn, so he had to take her with him. However, just as the Chong'en Saint Emperor cast a spell seal, the suppressed fierce array suddenly emitted a strong suction, dragging Jiuxi, who had not cultivated well, into the large array.
Seeing this, Shao Yu also jumped in. The Chong'en Holy Emperor cast a spell to save a step too late, and when he looked at it again, the large array seemed to have been suppressed, there was no movement inside, and there was no more fierce aura overflowing.
Xuanqing Daoist said nervously, "Master, how is this good?"
Chong'en Saint Emperor's face was solemn, "I can only look at the creation of the two of them." ”
After falling into the big array, Jiuxi lost consciousness for a long time. When Yoyo woke up, it was dark in front of her, and she couldn't see where she had fallen.
She remembered that before she was sucked in, she seemed to see her senior brother jumping in with her, and cautiously called, "Senior brother...... Senior Brother ......"
No response was received.
Jiuxi was a little scared, and he might still be curious about this fierce array outside, but when he was really locked inside, he only felt cold and trembling hands and feet.
From time to time, one or two eerie laughter could be heard, and Jiuxi groped his way through the darkness, and soon saw a large clump of dancing flames.
Thinking that it might be Senior Brother Shao Yu, he hurriedly went to the place where there was flames.
Shao Xi and Jiuxi didn't fall in the same place, and they didn't notice Jiuxi's breath around, so they had to sacrifice their own Nine Heavens Quenching and let Jiuxi find him by himself.
Sure enough, soon after, he heard the little girl calling him.
"Doll. Shao Yu spoke up, letting her know that it was indeed him.
Seeing Shao Xi, Jiuxi instantly felt a sense of security and no fear of the darkness around him. Tugging at his sleeve, he said, "Senior brother, are we in the middle of the murderous array, how are we going to get out?"
With the help of the firelight, Shaohui saw that there was no fear on the little doll's face, pinched her face and said, "Look for it, see what the exit is." ”
There is no exit for the large array that has been completely sealed, and if there is an exit, the sealed thing will escape first. Now Shao Yu can't think of any way, and what she said was just to comfort the little girl.
Jiuxi nodded, she actually had the same thoughts as Shaoxi, and knew that there might not be any outlets. It's just that neither of them said what was in their hearts. Jiuxi tugged on Shao Hao's sleeve and followed him step by step into the deeper darkness.
After walking for a while, Jiuxi realized that this darkness really had no end in sight. Shao Twilight's Nine Heavens Quenching could only illuminate a small area, and the darkness in the distance was thick, making it difficult to discern what lay ahead.
Where the flames shine, it looks like a desolate canyon.
I don't know when I will come to the end of this walk, but Jiuxi feels that there seems to be a traction in the dark, and the more I walk, the more I feel palpitations. It was as if something unknown was waiting for her in the dark.
