In the wilderness of the dark night, the occasional firefly startled, and the wild grass that had absorbed enough moisture in the soil and was becoming fat exuded a damp and pleasant smell after being trampled by the horses' hooves.

Lin Yi and others rode one person and two horses, following those scattered Northern Wei war horses, these Northern Wei war horses often looked a little sad in the night after losing their owners, but they were naturally not as fast as in the battle, this light horse was originally considered excellent in the Southern Dynasty, and this speed followed behind, it was very easy.

The smell of a large amount of sheep dung soon came from the wilderness ahead, and the north side of the Southern Liang was actually considered to be the south of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not only the terrain was flat, but the soil was very fertile, but in the past hundred years, these areas were constantly fighting, resulting in a vast land and sparsely populated appearance. As soon as the population was small, there were fewer farmers, and many clans raised cattle and sheep in large quantities, but they also contributed a lot of fur and meat to the Southern Dynasty.

A few years after Xiao Yan's mutiny, the relationship between the Southern Liang and the Northern Wei Dynasty was relatively relaxed, and the nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty had a much higher demand for beef and mutton than the Southern Dynasty, so on the border, the caravans of the Southern Dynasty could often be seen driving a large number of live cattle and sheep to trade directly with the caravans of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang and the spiritual famine was determined, the border conflicts between the two Koreas had continued, and the border trade between the two sides had naturally disappeared, and some scarce minerals that could be used as armaments had long been controlled by the Northern Wei Dynasty and would never flow into the Southern Dynasties.

Lin Yi's eyesight was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, even in the faint moonlight, he could clearly see the traces of the large wasteland in the distance being eaten by the sheep, and even the large amount of black bead-like sheep dung scattered among the residual grass.

The outlines of some of the villages soon came into his sight, but as he continued to walk, there was no sign of sheep around the villages, and there was no sound in the villages.

These Northern Wei war horses passed through the edge of the village, and there was still no movement in the village.

Lin Yi also drove his horse through the edge of the village, his brow furrowing.

Although he did not enter the village, the scene inside these villages, which were not densely built, could not escape his gaze and perception.

There was no sign of fighting in these villages, but there was no one in them.

The villages along the route range from dozens of households to seven or eight.

After passing through a river hill, the Northern Wei war horses in front of them suddenly became cheerful, and their speed was obviously much faster.

In front of the Northern Wei Dynasty war horses, the shape of a mound was faintly revealed, and some buildings on the hill were yellow walls, and a little closer to it, you could see that it was a small temple.

Except for a few low shrubs, there were not even a few green wild grasses on the mound, and it looked bare and desolate.

The Northern Wei war horse in front of him ran faster and faster, rushing directly along the hillside to the temple gate on the mountain.

Lin Yi and Bai Yuelu glanced at each other and slowly lowered their riding speed. When these Northern Wei war horses arrived at the gate of the temple, they naturally dispersed, and they were actually some leisurely stomping on the surrounding slopes, occasionally turning over the grass roots in the ground.

Looking at the reactions of these war horses, Lin Yi and the others could be sure that these war horses should have stayed here for a long time some time ago, so they were already familiar with the surrounding environment, but the constraints of the riders made these strictly trained military horses only walk around the station, even if they did not tie the reins.

Lin Yi let go of his perception and slowly drove the horse to the forefront, even though there was still no one in his perception, but he didn't dare to relax at all.

This temple is a Buddhist temple, the temple gate is facing the main hall for some years, the statues and walls and wooden pillars in the hall are blackened by smoke and fire, and some new temples and side halls around are very new, it should be newly built in these years.

It should be more convenient to enter and exit, the door panel of the temple gate has been rudely dismantled, perhaps directly crushed to make dry firewood, and there are several burned-out bonfires in the field inside the door. The ground and in front of the statue of the temple were littered with traces of the army's resting, and even some dismantled blood-stained cloth.

There was no hiding inside, and there was no enemy at a glance, which made Lin Yi a little relaxed and somewhat disappointed.

He dismounted, handed over the horses to the young cultivators behind him, and entered the main hall himself.

Rong Yi followed him into the hall, even if there were a few piles of black ashes in the night, the temple seemed empty and quiet, and the scent of sandalwood accumulated in the smoke and fire was even more calm, making people forget the existence of danger.

However, for some reason, in such a quiet, when Lin Yi and the others didn't feel anything unusual, Rong Yi's mood did not relax, but he felt a little nervous inexplicably, as if there were invisible ghosts floating in the air here, which made him more and more uneasy.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, he allowed himself to concentrate on finding out where the unsettling aura was coming from, and in the next moment, his breathing paused slightly, and his gaze subconsciously fell on the ground leading to the main hall behind the pile of black ashes.

The floor was covered with ordinary stone slabs, which were very thick, but had been worn down by the soles of their shoes over the years, and even shone with some jade-like luster in the dim moonlight.

What really attracted him was the gaps between the stone slabs, which were filled with dirt and didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary, but when he looked closely, they seemed to float like black lines in his perception, exuding a terrifying aura.

His vest began to sweat profusely.

"How?"

Whether it was Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji, or Bai Yuelu, they all keenly sensed his abnormality at this moment.

Rong Yi took a deep breath, his fists clenched tighter, but he didn't immediately answer the questions of Lin Yi and the others, his perception extended along these floating black lines, and only in an instant, he touched the end of these black lines.

That was after the statue of the deity in this temple or, more accurately, behind the wall behind the statue of Buddha.

Where these black lines extended, there was a cloud of aura bulging, like the heart of a demon king, and after each jump, it contained even more terrifying power.

"Let's go!"

His face changed suddenly, his face that was originally slightly red and hot because of nervousness became snow-white without a trace of blood, he exhaled sharply, but he still felt that it was not enough, and at the moment when he quickly turned around and swept out, he waved his hand frantically to the young cultivators outside the door, and at the same time roared: "Run!"

"Let's go!"

Lin Yi didn't know what to do, but he didn't hesitate at all, and the moment Rong Yi turned around, he pulled Xiao Suxin on his side and swept out as fast as possible.

Bai Yuelu's movements were not slow, she even landed on horseback faster than Lin Yi, Xiao Suxin and the others.

Her expression was calm, and she instantly guessed a possibility.

Rong Yi is a disciple of the true lineage of the master of the Southern Dynasty Circle, and in the world of cultivators, the circle is a trap preset with special runes and unique materials.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi suppressed by unique means flowed in the passage constructed by the rune array, and then erupted at a certain moment, using the terrain or unique climate to burst out with a power stronger than the cultivator's True Yuan Method.

Rong Yi reacted so violently, it should be that there is such a trap in this temple.

If such a trap is detected in advance, she doesn't think there is much to worry about.

However, in the next moment, her face changed completely.

The ground of the entire hill shook, and fist-sized stones leaped from the ground and rolled down.

There were countless sneering sounds from behind the wall inside the temple, as if the sharp swords of countless Dao cultivators were emitting a substantial sword aura.

Without hesitation, she flicked the fingers of her hands, and some pin-like true elements flew out of her fingertips and landed on the hips of the horses they were riding.

Tiny blood flowers surged on the horse's hips, and these war horses, which were originally very pain-bearing, couldn't bear the spread of her true essence in the flesh and blood, and instantly ran down the mountain like crazy.

She turned her head to look back at the same time.

The moist earth in the cracks in the stone floor in the temple gate really floated upward, forming suspended black mud lines an inch above the ground, and then shattered by the invisible force.

There were many white lines on the wall behind the statue of the god in the main hall, and the broken and crumbling walls were sprinkled like ripe fruits, and then the Buddha statue, and then the whole hall.

The white line expanded into a white torrent of water, rushing the shattered gravel of the broken hall and the fragments of the Buddha statue upward, but the ground continued to collapse and sink downward.

The strong air currents caused bursts of wet mist to ripple in the air, beating on them.

By the time the seven young practitioners came to their senses, half of the hill had disappeared, and the Buddhist temple at the top of the hill had completely disappeared, as if it had become a pond full of water, and there was a continuous flow of overflowing water flowing down the hillside with large pieces of broken wood.

Lin Yi took the lead and rushed to the flat place under the hillside before stopping, looking at such a scene, even he felt a slight chill in his heart, and he had a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

"There is a living spring in that temple, and the other party borrowed that living spring to set up a magic circle?"

He solemnly looked up at the water that kept flowing down, and asked the Rong Yi beside him.

Rong Yi nodded, until this time, his body was still sweating, and his heart was like a drum.

"This man's methods of setting up the formation are much more powerful than mine. It wasn't until a few breaths later that he settled down, wiped the beads of sweat on his face, looked at Lin Yi and said with a trembling voice: "Even if I am given a sip of such a living spring and give me a long time, I will not be able to arrange such a magic circle." ”

Li Moxiao looked at the vanished mountain peaks and temples, and a wry smile slowly appeared on his slightly pale face.

The arrangement of any magic circle requires familiarity with the use of a large number of runes, many of which require rote memorization, in addition, it also takes a lot of time to explore the pulse and feng shui and other knowledge, which is exactly the field he has not penetrated into, so if Fang Cai did not have a remind, he and Lin Yi and the others would probably have died in the collapsed half of the mountain.

"You have to try to find this man and kill him. ”

He took a deep breath and said seriously.

A young man like him with amazing talent doesn't even care much about fame and fortune, and for a person like him who is destined to go to a very high position in the cultivator world, the most important thing can only be cultivation, so even if he joins the Tie Ce Army, in battle, his murderous intent is not heavy.

But now, the killing intent in his heart is very strong.

No formation master would spend a lot of True Yuan and precious formation materials to set up a terrible trap that might not be used, and that formation master was destined to set up a formation here after knowing their intentions.

The formation division that can deploy such a magic formation in such a short period of time is not only much more powerful than Rong Yi, but I am afraid that the entire Southern Dynasty will not be able to pick out two or three such powerful formation divisions.

Such a person is the most powerful weapon in an army in a war like this, and will bring terrible damage.

When Li Mo said this with a smile, his gaze fell on Qi Zhuji and Bai Yuelu.

Because it is obvious that Lin Yi is an existence that is not well-informed than him, but in the entire Tiece Army, Qi Zhuji and Bai Yuelu may have some solutions.

"Is it possible to track down this person?" Lin Yi turned his head to look at Rong Yi and asked.

Rong Yi shook his head, "Even if there will be his True Yuan aura in the magic circle, unless he uses the True Yuan nearby, there is no way to find him at all." ”

"Then if it's the magic circle he laid out, can you feel that it's what he has clothed?" Lin Yi frowned slightly, and asked seriously: "And... If he happens to be near you and uses True Yuan, can you really feel that it's him?"

Rong Yi took a deep breath.

He was no longer sweating, but the sweat had soaked his clothes, and he felt a little chill even in the summer wind.

He carefully recalled the feeling at that time, feeling the mud line floating in the perception at that time, and sensing the suppressed but powerful true yuan aura inside, he nodded with some hesitation and said, "It should be possible, but it is not absolutely certain." ”

"Do you know that Xiao Donghuang's subordinates have such a formation master?" Lin Yi turned to look at Bai Yuelu and asked.

"Haven't heard of it. ”

Bai Yuelu shook her head very dryly, this is not a lie, even she didn't know before that there was such a terrible formation master in Xiao Donghuang's army.
