Chapter 49: Puzzle Clearing
And above the heads of Sima Yuan and the three of them outside, there seemed to be an invisible clear light that flashed away, like a barrier hiding the scene here.
Even Dao Venerable is difficult to probe easily.
At this moment, Sima Yuan is falling into a mysterious and mysterious situation, in a red world, Sima Yuan is falling at a rapid speed, looking at its situation, it seems to be endless.
But this was just the manifestation of the Wanhua Evil Sword to confuse Sima Yuan, and what gathered around Sima Yuan at this moment was a burst of evil wind and red rain like a storm. This wind can erode bones, pierce the intestines and break the stomach, and even corrode the monk's spirit, and be worn out in the drowsy haze; this rain can soak the muscles and bones, penetrate into the flesh and blood, and make people fall to death in extreme pain.
The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the gentleman is in danger.
Sima Yuan is facing an unprecedented life-and-death crisis.
The evil qi offensive is in full swing, the means are more like psychic, I see it step by step, steady and steady, once it invades a certain trick of Sima Yuan, it must be based on the city to defend, and after the follow-up of the evil qi to make up for it, then continue to excavate, if it is not for Sima Yuan in the moment when he is shrouded in evil qi, he will subconsciously open the 'Spirit Sword Domain' to defend and make sure that he does not have any monk consciousness, Sima Yuan still thinks that his family has been manipulated by evil spirits to invade and seize it.
But even so, Sima Yuan's situation is still uneasy, for example, under such a psychic attack, even if no one controls this evil qi, it will inevitably give birth to the spirit of evil qi.
At this moment, above Sima Yuan's sea of knowledge, the sword of the god of fire buzzed incessantly, like a warning and admonition, and at the same time, around the sea of knowledge like a netherworld, a stream of red insects as thin as a gossamer tried their best to break through the wall of the cave of the heart and invade the center of the sea of knowledge.
Without waiting for Sima Yuan's divine sense, the Divine Sword emitted tens of thousands of silver-white sword qi with a bang, and the sound of screaming came one after another, and a terrible wailing sound came from all around, and then those crimson gossamers exploded with a bang, turning into a little red spiritual light, flying smoke, and blood dust scattered.
There were even distorted and venomous faces on some of the slain red silks, either with hideous human faces, or roaring beast heads, or blue-faced fanged ghosts, all with murderous aura, madness and terror.
There was a terrible roar all around, intimidating and frightened, and the wind and smoke in his ears dissipated, adding to the panic and sorrow.
However, Sima Yuan watched coldly, turned a deaf ear, and ignored it.
After a while, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly turned to look.
I saw that in the hazy red mist behind me, there seemed to be a simple light and shadow trying its best to resist the invasion of evil qi, but the mana was humble, but it was really a counterweight to the endless evil spirit.
Sima Yuan frowned slightly, as if he was hesitant, and the back of the sightseeing shadow seemed to be three points similar to Aunt Su.
But because it is sometimes broken and sometimes gathered, Sima Yuan is a little uncertain.
He especially remembered the scene of Aunt Su sacrificing her life to resist the demigods of the Golden Immortal Kingdom in the Eastern Wilderness in order to rescue Sima Yuan in the Lotus Secret Territory, and when this person's face was anxious and hurriedly glanced back, when he saw that Sima Yuan was safe and sound, the relieved look fell into Sima Yuan's eyes, he was immediately shocked, and blurted out: "Aunt Su!"
Yes, it's Aunt Su! she's still there!
Could it be that she left a remnant soul in her mind when she fell, so as to protect her own safety?
Sima Yuan's face was cloudy, it was not impossible for such a situation, if it was someone else, it might be impossible, but Aunt Su would definitely not leave him easily, not to mention that Aunt Su mysteriously disappeared from Longju Village at the beginning, which made him feel very strange, and then suddenly appeared to save his life, all of which showed that Aunt Su was indeed still by his side.
She also guards herself at all times.
Sima Yuan's eyes are complicated, no matter how high his cultivation is, how strong his mana is, and how high his status and power are, Aunt Su's position in his heart will never be replaced, and her image is even more indelible.
However, with the passage of time, Sima Yuan's face gradually deteriorated, and the color of nostalgia and longing in his eyes eased slightly, and there seemed to be a clear color in his eyes.
Leaning less, Sima Yuan's mind gradually calmed down, the nostalgia in his eyes passed quietly, and a sigh sounded.
This person is not Aunt Su, she is just a longing and concern in her heart, but she is infinitely magnified by the evil knife in front of her.
However, the crimson obsession in Sima Yu's eyes gradually dispersed, and when he looked at the graceful back in front of him again, it was just a tumbling evil qi.
He bowed his head slightly, his face blurred, and he was silent.
Half an hour later, when he looked up again, his hazy eyes had regained his calm.
Now it is not what it used to be, he has to bear more, and he can no longer be as a child as he used to be.
Even if he is a soft man on the inside and strong on the outside.
Sima Yuan glanced at the big stars on his arm, and saw that they were like tiny silver grains all over his arm, and there were countless of them.
There was a look of understanding in his eyes, and he whispered, "So you're still there."
The 'stars' are the fragments of Danzhu.
At this time, as the power of Danzhu was transmitted into the body and the limbs and hundreds of remains, Sima Yuan suddenly felt that his mana was strong, and it was unprecedentedly powerful.
He raised his hand and waved, and the evil qi in front of him was like a great enemy, and the crazy surge was a burst of majestic monstrous evil qi roaring, like a mountain and a sea of thunder.
Sima Yuan's eyes were calm, and he spat out lightly: "Spiritual Domain, expel it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a series of mournful whistling sounds came from all directions, like the last mad and dying struggle.
Then an invisible force drove it outward, and there was no compromise for the slow, but sure, and powerful force.
At the same time, when Sima Yuan's eyelids were closed, the figure of 'Aunt Su' slowly faded, until it exploded with a light bang.
At the same time, when the two people outside Sima Yuan's body were frowning and secretly anxious, they suddenly seemed to feel something, and they all retreated backwards, and after reaching a hundred zhang, a manic, tyrannical, and fierce blood-red knife qi filled the entire heaven and earth in an instant, as if they were about to make a final fight.
Then there were bursts of fierce collisions and clanging sounds, as well as Sima Yuanshu's cold snort.
Where Lu Xiyi and the others were watching, there seemed to be an invisible screen rising up, enveloping the two of them, and it was difficult for outsiders to detect the slightest unless the saint came.
Lu Xiyi's eyes moved, looking at the scene of the knife fight in front of him, and smiled unintentionally: "Sure enough, it's a little fox."
Li Yao's eyes flickered, her graceful face quietly eased, and after hearing Lu Xiyi's words, the smile in her eyes became even stronger, and she nodded: "Show the enemy weakness and accumulate strength, even if it does not make Xiao Lao'er completely let go of the killing machine, it can also ease his vigilance." ”
Lu Xiyi shook his head: "Xiao Lao'er's murderous intention? If you really think so, you are wrong. ”
Li Yao frowned, and after frowning slightly, she turned her head and asked, "What do you say?"
Lu Xiyi's eyes were deep, looking in the direction of Taiqing Palace, and he was silent.
Li Yao then raised her head, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly: "As far as the concubine knows, the Sima Cave Lord and the Xiao family have a deep grudge, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to resolve. ”
She paused for a moment, and after looking at the Taiqing Palace, she continued: "If even that person doesn't stand by his side, I'm afraid there is a danger of overturning." ”
Lu Xiyi's eyes were flat, and he said a little incomprehensibly: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, who can say that this is not a blessing?"
Li Yao bowed her head slightly, but she didn't say anything anymore, but she didn't know if she understood Lu Xiyi's words, and Lu Xiyi didn't say much on this topic.
If the Huangfu clan really threw an extraordinary olive branch to Sima Yuan, then the price he would have to pay in the future would naturally be extraordinary.
Naturally, they thought of the one.
The one in the mountains.
After a period of shock, the crimson sword qi drifted away, and Sima Yuan's leisurely stroll seemed to be settled.
I saw that with a wave of his sleeve robe, the blood-red sword qi in the air instantly converged, and suddenly condensed in front of him, returning to the appearance of the sword body again.
Seeing Sima Yuan coming, Lu Xiyi removed the barrier, and when he got closer, Sima Yuan solemnly said to the two: "Thank you two seniors for your support."
With Lu Xiyi and Li Yao in charge, Sima Yuan subdued the Wanhua Evil Knife and naturally no one dared to disturb him.
What's more, this place is also adjacent to the Taiqing Palace, so naturally there is no offense from the young people.
Lu Xiyi said: "Sima Xiaoyou has added another treasure, which is really gratifying. ”
Li Yao bowed his head and said: "The Wanhua Evil Knife is comparable to a half-step weapon, although you have refined the Shenxiao Cave Heaven and can barely be regarded as an immortal body, but I look at the natal magic weapon on your body It seems that you are still a beginner-level divine weapon, and it is still damaged." In the future, this knife may become your temporary magic weapon. ”
Sima Yuan spread out with one hand, revealing his palm, and a small red dagger came into view, only to see its dripping and turning non-stop, and a sharp breath suddenly appeared, which made people squint and jump unexpectedly.
Lu Xiyi immediately praised: "This sword was originally refined by a demon sent by an expatriate in the past, and was later captured by my Fuli, but because it is too heavy, few people can completely control it. ”
Sima Yuan smiled bitterly: "As the predecessor said, the weight of this sword is more than all in the past, and with the power of a kid, it can only be imprisoned and sealed, and it cannot be suppressed for the time being." ”
Li Yao said with a smile: "The evil knife is not a weapon of the Dao after all, if it is not good, it will lose your mind and go mad, if you forcibly suppress it, it will only backfire, it is better to try it slowly, there is no need to rush for quick success." ”
Sima Yuan was solemn when he heard this, and replied: "What the predecessor said is reasonable, and the kid has written it down." ”
Then Lu Xiyi stretched out his hand and said to Sima Yuanyan: "Let's go, let's go to see the Hidden God Palace on your behalf first." ”
However, it was said that Sima Yuan put the red long sword full of dark color talismans into his palm and clenched it, and then after a trance, Sima Yuan put away the Wanhua Evil Knife, but the moment he put it away, he let out a few muffled snorts, and when he heard the words, he said: "Two generations will wait a while, the kid is now in charge of the Sima clan, and many things have not been resolved, so he can't go for the time being." ”
Lu Xiyi's expression moved, and after glancing at Yan Liyao, he asked again, "But what about Sima Daoyou?"
Sima Yuan's spirits perked up, and he immediately asked, "Doesn't the predecessor know where his father is now?"
Lu Xiyi shook his head, and was about to clear it directly, when suddenly his heart moved, and with a wave of his big hand again, the three figures were suddenly hidden in the void.
Sima Yuan's face moved, as if he was excited.
Who knew that Lu Xiyi's first sentence made Sima Yuan fall to the bottom: "As far as Lu knows, since the accident that year, Sima Daoyou has been missing for more than 300 years. ”
Sima Yuan's eyes darkened, he lowered his head in silence, and nodded slightly, while Li Yao on the side lowered his eyebrows and was silent.
Lu Xiyi continued: "However, after these years of poor Dao open investigation and secret visits, there are some clues. ”
Sima Yuan raised his head suddenly, and blurted out: "Please also ask the seniors to speak clearly."
Li Yao's eyes flashed, and she raised her eyes to look. Lu Xiyi smiled helplessly at Sima Yuan: "Although there are some clues, I am not sure of their specific location. ”
Sima Yuan's expression was solemn, his body seemed to be a little tense at first, and he relaxed a little at this moment, and then mentioned it again, and said helplessly: "Please also tell the seniors the details, and Sima Hao will make the next step." ”
Lu Xiyi bowed his head slightly, and after a few mutters, he said slowly: "Three hundred years ago, since your father disappeared, Lao Dao searched for a period of time, but with little success and found nothing. ”
As for the reason for the search, he didn't mention it at all, and Sima Yuan wisely didn't ask.
Lu Xiyi continued: "However, after visiting over the years, I learned that your father Sima Yuan has not left Fuli, but he does not know where he is hiding, maybe he is living in seclusion somewhere in the cave or in a small world. ”
Sima Yuan nodded slightly, and suddenly his heart moved, and asked, "Even the seniors know that it is in Fuli, is it possible that the other cave masters know about this." ”
Lu Xiyi shook his head and said, "I don't know this old way."
Sima Yuan's heart moved, Zhang Zhijian knew that his father was in Fuli, and Lu Xiyi also knew, so how many people still knew, after all, Fuli was so big, where could his father hide?
Sima Yuan kept an eye on it, but said quietly: "I see."
Then the three of them withdrew their concealed formations, ignored the sky, and headed towards the Sima clan.
On the way, Lu Xiyi's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look at Sima Yuanyan and said, "Could it be that the old patriarch of the nobility has not left any last words?"
Sima Yuan sighed when he heard this, and his heart moved quietly, but his face remained silent, and he sighed: "The old patriarch has contributed too much to the family, working day and night, and the mental loss has long been serious, how can he still have the energy to inquire about his father." ”
Speaking of the old patriarch, Lu Xiyi also sighed, and after hearing Sima Yuan's reply, he said: "The old-timers have done their best, and Xiyi is also quite admired, but unfortunately because of the nobles' affairs back then, if we contact us rashly, not only can we not provide assistance, but there is a possibility of causing disasters."
Sima Yuan knew the meaning of his words, and with the situation of the Sima clan in the past, he rashly had too much contact with Lu Xiyi, Li Yao and other top powerhouses in the mountain gate, which would only make the hostile forces more vigilant, and even feel threatened again, and with the strength of the Sima clan at that time, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist the bright tide of the mountain gate
Undercurrent.
Sima Yuan immediately replied: "The seniors don't need to mind, the Sima clan has inherited too much, and they have been taken care of by all the seniors in the past few years. ”
Good words are naturally liked by everyone, not to mention that what Sima Yuan said is true, the Sima clan has been in a difficult situation in recent years, especially under the blows of the Xiao Chen and Su clans, it is even more difficult, if there is no secret assistance from Lu Xiyi, Li Yao and others, maybe the Sima clan will not just be driven out of the Shenxiao Cave.
Thinking of this, Sima Yuan inexplicably remembered someone.
Yang Xu.
This person was the first disciple of his father Sima Qian, and it is rumored that when his father was besieged by various forces, this person was 'making great contributions', whether it was from Zhang Zhijian, the old patriarch Sima Yi, or the explanation obtained from the cave master of Li Yao.
But when Yang Xu was killed by Sima Yuan, he never seemed to see a trace of hatred or even unwillingness in the eyes of the other party.
On the contrary, there is a hint of guilt?
Sima Yuan subconsciously frowned, and said to himself in his heart: "Could it be that there is another secret in this?"
If Yang Xu really had any hidden secrets when he died, then what was this hidden secret?
A glimmer of darkness quietly flashed in the depths of his eyes, did the hidden meaning involve Lu Xiyi and Li Yao?
At this time, Li Yao glanced at Sima Yuan and said softly: "You and I are all world friends, so we should support each other and advance and retreat together." ”
When Sima Yuan heard this, he immediately retracted his heart, and said lightly: "The two seniors are chivalrous and courageous, and it is really the luck of the Sima clan and the blessing of the boy to be able to get the help of the two. ”
Lu Xiyi smiled comfortingly, and after glancing at Li Yao, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. The reason why the two of them spared no effort to help Sima Yuan was that they regretted not being able to save their father Sima Qian from danger at the beginning, but also believed that Sima Yuan was a human being, which was not only a support for allies, but also a long-term investment.
Later, outside the Xingshen Xiao Cave, Lu Xiyi and Li Yao left one after another.
Before Lu Xiyi left, he said to Sima Yuan: "Please also ask Xiaoyou to come to my Xiyi Cave Heaven before going to the Hidden God Palace." ”
Sima Yuan replied: "The kid will definitely come to visit, and don't blame the kid for taking the liberty of bothering when he looks down." ”
"Well said".
After Li Yao waited for Lu Xiyi to leave, she said to Sima Yuanyan: "This time the palace master has helped you, you must not live up to the trust of others." ”
The help of the palace master?
Sima Yuan remembered the strange behavior of the uncle in the Taiqing Palace before, and couldn't help but move in his heart, muttering: Could it be that the one is really wrong?
Sima Yuan was playful in his heart, with a smile on his face, he looked at the direction of Taiqing Palace and showed sincerity for the first time, and said with his chin in his head: "Seniors, rest assured, the palace is under the shirt, it is really a blessing for us." ”
Li Yao looked helpless, frowned slightly, cleared the green silk, and said softly: "The main body of the palace is in charge of the mountain gate, and the machine is thousands of miles, and there are few admonitions, and it will not easily use the power of the Taiqing Palace to suppress the junior disciples of the mountain gate." ”
Sima Yuan lowered his eyes when he heard this, "The words of the predecessors, Sima Yuan will definitely keep it in mind." ”
Li Yao smiled lightly and said: "I have known your father for many years, although you don't remember me now, but in the past, when your parents were in trouble, they also stayed in my country for a period of time. ”
Sima Yuan said shyly when he heard this: "The great kindness of the seniors, Sima is unforgettable. ”
Li Yaosu waved her hand lightly, her eyes became more and more gentle, and she said softly: "Still called senior?"
Sima Yuan secretly said that according to the information he received in the clan, Li Yao was the face of his father Sima Qian. Yu Li, he has helped the Sima clan too much over the years, and he must not be presumptuous in front of his benefactors.
He immediately moved in his heart, and respectfully called out: "Nephew to meet Aunt Yao."
