Chapter 13: The Mysterious Shadow in the Passage

What was it that suddenly lit up the surroundings of the passage? It turned out that the spell drawn by Wen Yiyang with his finger in the air turned into a firefly bigger than a fist, and at this moment, his whole body emitted a dazzling light.

Seeing that the fireflies summoned by Wen Yiyang were illuminated all around, the white-bearded old Taoist immediately shouted happily: "I said that the little Taoist priest of Zhengyi Sect, why didn't you use such a good spell earlier? ”

"If it weren't for the old gentleman's request for me, how could it show how high Wen Yiyang's ability is? Now the old gentleman should know Wen Yiyang's sincerity in apologizing to you, right?" Wen Yiyang replied proudly.

Seeing that the shimmering spell in the air suddenly turned into a firefly, Yu Fei'er was extremely surprised. The reason why this Yu Fei'er was so surprised was not because of how subtle Wen Yiyang's spell was, but because Wen Yiyang used the special technique of drawing void talismans to cast this spell. Because this kind of technique of drawing talismans in the void is far more advanced than casting spells with blank talisman paper, Yu Fei'er didn't wait for the words of the white-bearded old Taoist Dao Yiyang to preemptively say: "I didn't expect Brother Yiyang to have such a skill as drawing talismans in the void, which really opened Yu Fei'er's eyes again." It is said that this method of drawing talismans in the void is the highest realm in the talisman spell, although Brother Yiyang has not yet reached this realm, but you have already begun to have this kind of technique, Yu Fei'er believes that as long as Brother Yiyang continues to cultivate, he will be able to easily reach this supreme realm in time. No wonder your master will praise you in front of your brothers and sisters in the sect, it seems that Brother Yiyang is indeed talented and extraordinary. ”

Knowing that Yu Fei'er regarded this small technique of his own as the supreme method of drawing the void talisman in the talisman spell, Wen Yiyang hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Brother Dao, you really think too highly of Wen Yiyang, how can Wen Yiyang have the ability to draw the void talisman." When it comes to using his fingers to do it directly in the air, Wen Yiyang will only use such a small spell, so Brother Dao should stop praising me. ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to be humble to each other again, the white-bearded old Taoist hurriedly interjected and interrupted: "Why are you two little Taoist priests humble to each other again, while there is now this firefly to guide the three of us to hurry up." After we get out of this cliff and valley, you two little Taoist priests can be as humble as you like, and the old Taoist is too lazy to take care of the two of you. ”

This Yu Fei'er will be extra involved every time he discusses spells with Wen Yiyang, the reason is actually very simple, before he left Putuo Mountain, although he often got together with the brothers in the sect to discuss spells, but everyone learned the spells in the same sect, even if they discussed together, the content was nothing more than the spells of the sect, and few new ideas appeared. But when discussing spells with Wen Yiyang, the situation was completely different, he could get many surprises in the process of this discussion between the two, and now that he saw Wen Yiyang use the rumored method of drawing void talismans, Yu Fei'er's curiosity was naturally even greater, so he completely forgot about his situation. Yu Fei'er is like this, in fact, so is Wen Yiyang, he learned a lot of things that he had never been exposed to in the discussion between the two.

After hearing the white-bearded old man's complaint, Yu Fei'er hurriedly scratched her head and replied with a smile: "Yu Fei'er only cared about discussing spells with Wen Yiyang, and for a while forgot that we were still in the valley bottom passage and were not out of danger. Then let's wait until we get out of the bottom of this abyss first, and then ask Brother Yiyang for advice. After speaking, the three of them walked deeper into the passage under the guidance of the firefly summoned by Wen Yiyang.

When Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang stopped discussing and just lowered their heads and hurried away, the entire passage immediately fell silent, and at this time, no sound could be heard in the passage except for the footsteps of the three people who were hurrying back. In this way, the three of them walked a long way along the passage, but there was no sign of an end in front of them, and the three of them couldn't help but retreat in their hearts, and began to look back behind them from time to time, but behind the three of them except for their own shadows on the stone wall in the passage, sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes shaking and changing, they could no longer see anything that would move. To be honest, even if something was moving in the dark, it would be impossible for the three of them to see it.

Just as the three of them were hurrying forward, a shadow suddenly appeared among the shadows of the three people who were dragging on the stone wall of the passage, and I saw that this shadow shook quickly between the shadows of Yu Fei'er and the three of them, and then disappeared immediately. Because this shadow appeared very suddenly and disappeared very quickly, the three of them did not notice such a subtle change in the shadow dragging on the stone wall behind them, and they still kept hurrying forward with their heads down.

"Why can't you see the exit of this passage yet? Could it be that there is no exit from this passage at all?" Wen Yiyang finally couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart and said to himself.

"There is only one way out of the valley, what can we do but continue to move forward? Do you want to go back and die at the bottom of the cliff?"

Wen Yiyang was willing to show weakness, he just wanted to open his mouth to say a few words back to Whitebeard, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of him, and before the three of them could make any reaction, they knocked the firefly flying in front to the ground with lightning speed. Wen Yiyang knew that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "It's not good." But at this time, the firefly that had turned into itself had fallen to the ground, and the light emitted by its body began to dim, and finally disappeared to the ground along with the firefly, and the whole passage was suddenly plunged into darkness again.

The black shadow that suddenly rushed over disappeared immediately after knocking the fireflies summoned by Wen Yiyang to the ground, and at this time, there was a dead silence in the passage except for the wheezing sound of Yu Fei'er and the three of them. Yu Fei'er lowered her voice and asked Wen Yiyang, who was walking in front of her, "Brother Yiyang, did you see what the black shadow that flew over just now was?"

Wen Yiyang replied softly: "The black shadow appeared so suddenly, and the speed was very fast, I didn't have time to see it clearly. ”

Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang looked cautious, but the white-bearded old Taoist didn't care what danger there was in the dark, and kept urging Wen Yiyang with an open voice: "I said that the little Taoist priest of Zhengyi Sect, you should hurry up and recruit another firefly, the passage is so dark now, how can we hurry?"

Seeing that the white-bearded old man was in a hurry, Wen Yiyang replied helplessly: "Xiaodao's spell has just been dispersed by that black shadow, if you want to cast the previous spell to summon this firefly, you must wait another half an hour for Xiaodao's current Taoism." ”

After hearing Wen Yiyang's answer, the white-bearded old man immediately said weakly like a deflated ball: "What? We have to wait for half an hour? It seems that we can only wait in the dark for half an hour before leaving." With that, he groped his way through the passage, found a rock, and sat down. Wen Yiyang immediately sat down with the white-bearded old man.

Yu Fei'er saw that Wen Yiyang and the white-bearded old dao did not pay enough attention to the sudden black shadow just now, and immediately cautiously reminded the two of them: "Xiao Dao always felt that this matter was not so simple just now, and the black shadow that suddenly appeared was clearly the firefly summoned by Wen Yiyang. It may have done so to put us back in the darkness so that it could perform new actions. Although this is just Xiaodao's personal speculation, it is better to be careful before we get rid of the monsters on Xianxia Mountain. ”

"Your mind as a little Taoist priest of Putuo Mountain is really meticulous, it seems that what Lao Dao calculated from your face before is really not bad at all. Before the white-bearded man could finish his words, he heard the sound of "puff" wings flapping suddenly in the air, and then the three of them felt a gust of wind coming from the air.

Could it be the black shadow that appeared just now that was rushing towards the three of them? Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang didn't have time to think about it, they hurriedly pulled up the white-bearded old dao who was sitting on the rock, and then quickly hid behind the rock. As soon as the three of them hid behind the rock, they felt something quickly pass over their heads, and before they could catch their breath behind the rock, they heard the familiar "poof" sound coming from behind them. The three of them hurriedly fled from behind the rock, and at this time, they did not care whether the road under their feet was flat or not, and the three of them immediately ran out of the darkness ahead. Now it seems that there is indeed something in this dark passage that is trying to attack the three of them.

The three of them didn't know how far they had run out of the dark passage, and after making sure that there was no suspicious movement behind them, the three of them stopped, and hurriedly found another huge rock in the passage to hide.

As soon as the three of them hid behind the rocks, Wen Yiyang gasped and couldn't help asking, "What was it just now that was staring at the three of us flying around?"

"I couldn't see my fingers in the passage, and Yu Fei'er couldn't see what it was, but what made Xiaodao strange was that the thing flying around seemed to be able to see the three of us very clearly. Yu Fei'er replied with great certainty.

The white-bearded old Taoist heard Yu Fei'er say that the thing in the dark could see him clearly, and asked anxiously: "Little Taoist, you said that the flying thing can see us? If that's the case, then wouldn't the three of us just let it be slaughtered? I said Little Taoist of Putuo Mountain, don't you know the Five Elements Spell? Although the Old Dao has never learned these Five Elements Spell, but the Old Dao knows that this fire is also one of the Five Elements, why don't you use some fire-related Five Elements Spell to illuminate this passage?" As long as there is light in this passage, we don't have to worry about being attacked anymore, I can't imagine that Lao Dao's head is so good, and he can come up with such a good way at a critical moment. Whitebeard couldn't help but be proud when he said this.

Wen Yiyang felt that Whitebeard's suggestion was good, and immediately followed Whitebeard's Elder to urge Fei'er to quickly cast fire-related spells. Seeing that the two of them were going to cast the spells related to the fire element in the Five Elements Spell by themselves, which was difficult for Yu Fei'er, he hurriedly explained: "Old man, you are going to be disappointed this time, although Yu Fei'er is learning the Five Elements Spell, but with Yu Fei'er's physical condition, he can only practice the spells related to the three elements of earth, metal and water in the Five Elements Spell, as for the spells in the fire element, Yu Fei'er really doesn't know anything." ”

"Why is that?" Wen Yiyang immediately asked curiously.

Yu Fei'er continued: "As long as a person in my human realm is born, he already has a five-element element in his body, and Taoists call this innate element numerology element. For ordinary people, if they have not carried out targeted cultivation, they will not be able to manifest this numerology element in their body through spells. ”

"Brother Dao just said that people in my human realm can't use spells to express the numerology elements in their bodies, is there any other form that can be expressed?" Wen Yiyang couldn't help but interrupt Yu Fei'er again when he heard the curiosity.

Yu Fei'er smiled and replied, "Then let Yu Fei'er give a more common phenomenon to answer this question raised by Brother Yiyang." There is a group of people who are born with a love for water, and this type of people should learn faster and better than others when learning to swim. On the contrary, there is a group of people who are born afraid of water and cannot be taught how to swim. The fundamental reason for this phenomenon lies in the different manifestations of the numerology elements in their bodies, those who are born with a love of water, their numerology elements must be the water element of the five elements, and the numerology element of this type of people who are born afraid of water belongs to the fire element of the five elements. Yu Fei'er gave such a simple example, can Brother Yiyang understand?"

Wen Yiyang repeatedly said that he had understood the meaning of Yu Fei'er's words, so Yu Fei'er returned to what he said before and continued: "Ordinary people can gradually express their numerology elements with magic after cultivating the five elements of Taoism. When the cultivation of the Five Elements Spell reaches a certain stage, the cultivator will be able to completely fuse the essence, qi, and spirit in his body with the numerology elements in his body, and begin to slowly enter the stage of the five elements of mutual growth. Once a cultivator comprehends the mystery of the five elements, he can transform the five elements in his body that are completely different from the numerology elements. Since the numerology element is born with every cultivator, no matter how much he cultivates the day after tomorrow, he can't completely change it, even if the cultivator cultivates the Five Elements Spell to the highest level, he can only change the composition of the Five Elements in his body within a certain period of time, and the Five Elements in his body will change back to his own numerology element when the time comes. For a mortal like Yu Fei'er, even if he cultivated the Five Elements Spell and entered the stage of the Five Elements Symbiosis, he could only comprehend three of the Five Elements at most through the Five Elements Symbiosis. ”

"Little Daoist, you said that a mortal like you can only comprehend three elements of the Five Elements through the Five Elements Symbiosis? I don't think this must have come from the mouth of your master Puci Daoren, right?" The white-bearded old Taoist seemed to realize that he had missed his words, and quickly changed his words and said: "This Five Elements Technique is a spell based on Taoism, although the old Taoist has never practiced it, but he has heard of it before, and people who have never heard of this spell can only comprehend three of the elements. ”

Yu Fei'er immediately heard the loopholes in Whitebeard's old words, but he continued quietly: "If a cultivator can really comprehend the fourth element after entering the stage of the Five Elements Symbiosis, then this element must be completely compatible with the numerology element in the cultivator's body. With the physique of mortals, let alone converting their numerology elements into the five elements that are completely countered to them, it is impossible to even coexist these two completely restrained five elements in our own bodies, so we mortals can only cultivate three elements through the five elements, if the cultivator can really cultivate the fourth five elements and then cultivate the fifth five elements element, then the cultivator can jump out of the three realms and not be in the five elements. Yu Fei'er said this, maybe the two of you don't understand it very well, so let's use myself as an example to explain it to the two of you in detail. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Fei'er paused for a moment, and after making sure that there was no other movement in the passage, he continued his topic: "This land of the five elements has become my numerology element as soon as Xiaodao was born, and by cultivating the technique of the five elements, Xiaodao can express the numerology elements in the body with the art of the earth in the five elements spell. After a long period of cultivation, Xiao Dao was finally able to control the numerology elements in his body to achieve perfect fusion with the earth elements in nature, and after that, Xiao Dao could run away in the soil at will, coming and going freely. After Xiao Dao was able to fully control the numerology elements in his body, Xiao Dao entered a new stage in the cultivation of the Five Elements Spell, and slowly Xiao Dao began to comprehend the mystery of the two five elements, native gold and gold and water. But after comprehending the water of the five elements, no matter how hard Xiao Dao cultivated, he couldn't comprehend the mystery of aquatic wood. After countless attempts and failures, Xiao Dao finally understood that among the many mysteries of the Five Elements Spell, there are not only the five elements of each other, but also the fact that the five elements are mutually reinforcing. It is precisely because of the wood and the earth that the earth is the numerology element of the trail, so the trail cannot convert the numerological elements in his body into the wood element that is completely compatible with it through the five elements. Since Xiao Dao couldn't comprehend the wood element of the five elements through the five elements, he naturally couldn't comprehend the last five elements through the five elements, the fire element, let alone the spells related to the fire element. Xiao Dao's explanation using his own example should make the two of you understand why Xiao Dao can't use this fire spell, right?"

Yu Fei'er immediately changed the topic after making this explanation, and grabbed the loophole in Whitebeard's old man's previous words and asked: "By the way, what the old man said means that we mortals can also comprehend all the five elements of the five elements, if mortals can really comprehend all the five elements of the five elements, then can such a person fly to the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal? Could it be that the old man has such ability?"

In the face of such a sharp question from Yu Fei'er, I wonder what kind of answer the white-bearded old man would make?
