Chapter 279: Open
readx;
The entrance of the Demon Sect Hall opened, and neither he nor Duanmu Rong were seriously injured because of this, and he naturally didn't believe that Ye Tong, a powerful and crazy woman, would suffer any serious damage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sharp and cold cluster of runic arrows moved steadily and slowly, aiming at all directions in the Qingming Vision, ready to leave at any time, drawing his sword and swinging towards the red clothes that suddenly appeared.
However, when the clouds and mist cleared, he still didn't find Ye Tong's figure, whether it was the naked eye or spiritual power, he didn't even hear the slightest noise, and the whole valley became extremely silent.
It was not absolute silence, there was the tinkling of spring water, and there was the murmuring of flowing water, which sounded intermittently around it.
Xu Chen didn't know where Ye Tong went, but he intuitively felt that he should be safe for the time being, so he slowly retracted his bow and shouldered, glanced at Duanmu Rong beside him, and walked a few steps around, the soles of his boots stepped on the gravel, making a rustling sound.
They were indeed at the bottom of the original holy lake, but instead of black silt or silver sand, they were treading on dense angular stones.
A few days ago, he broke through the realm by the Holy Lake, and looked at the area of this quiet lake that was not too large, but today when he walked on the bottom of the dry lake, he found that it was very large, like a huge stone bowl that had been hollowed out.
One moment it was still a quiet lake in winter, and the next moment it became a dry gravel ground, this is really an unbelievable and wonderful picture, but thinking that such an unknowable place as the entrance of the Demon Sect Hall is already extremely wonderful, although Xu Chen and Duanmu Rong could not suppress the shock in their hearts, they did not reveal too much emotion.
After a few moments of observation, the two finally realized where the lake had gone. There was water in the gravel beneath their feet, but it was only a very thin and shallow layer, which seeped in a certain direction along the cracks in the gravel, and then gradually merged into a flat stream, flowed to the low-lying places, and finally disappeared at the very center of the bottom of the lake.
There was nothing unusual in the middle of the lake, but the fact that so much water could be drained in such a short period of time gave people an eerie feeling, as if there was an ancient beast with its greedy mouth open.
Xu Chen and Duanmu Rong glanced at each other, followed the direction of the clear water flowing on the soles of their feet, and walked towards the center of the lake, but before he had taken a few steps, his brows suddenly wrinkled, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and it was difficult to lift his feet, and Duanmu Rong's face beside him became extremely pale, looking extremely painful.
"What's going on?"
Xu Chen felt the awesome aura, frowned and looked around, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
The bottom of the lake is gravel, and there is really nothing out of the ordinary, some are just stones.
These stones are large and small, with different shapes, some hollow like works of art carved out by the wind, some round like drums, some slender like forests, and some with strange appearances that I don't know how to describe.
Some of the stones have thick mosses on them, while others are as smooth as jade, but no matter what kind of stones, there are no traces of the lake on them, as if they were not soaked in the lake for thousands of years.
Mountains and valleys of stones appear in the line of sight, as if they appear in the chest at the same time, even the smooth stones are full of invisible sharp edges, making those who see them feel uneasy in their chests.
That feeling is uncomfortable, uncomfortable, not painful, full of resentment, and unwilling to be stubborn.
Xu Chen looked at the stones in front of him and finally felt strange.
Duanmu Rong looked at these stones beside him in a daze, two blushes suddenly appeared on his pale face, his eyes were unusually bright, his thin lips trembled slightly, and he said in disbelief: "Could this be the ...... Demon Rune Array?"
Xu Chen asked, "What's that?"
Duanmu Rong said in a trembling voice: "There is a kind of formation recorded in the classics, and that kind of formation spans between heaven and earth, and it is unimaginably powerful. ”
Xu Chen stood in the mountains and valleys of stones, feeling the breath, covering his chest and frowning slightly, he didn't speak for a long time, he seemed to be stuffed with dozens of hard pebbles in his chest at this time, and he was about to reach his throat, he was panicked, uncomfortable, where could he still speak.
Before, he couldn't understand Duanmurong's sentence that it was stones, until these stones of different shapes filled all his eyes and blocked all his chest and abdomen, that he realized that the so-called was the injustice between his chest and abdomen that arose for unknown reasons, and those grievances finally condensed into stones and could not be happy.
Stone is the most ordinary and unusual thing in the world, silent existence between heaven and earth for thousands of years, can grow grass but grass is a foreign object, can crack but crack is still stone, even if weathered into gravel is still the descendant of stone, its body is so strong and pure, as if there will never be any change.
Xu Chen looked at the thousands of stones filled with heaven and earth, and couldn't help but think of what his master Master Lu Yin had said, the pavilions and pavilions were always blown away by the wind and rain, and the stone base was speechless for thousands of years, and the essence was indestructible, seemingly unclean but extremely clean.
Everything in heaven and earth has its own breath, that is the vitality, jade and gold are also inconvenient, only the stubborn stone is the most silent and low-key, its breath is thick but deep inside, never willing to spit unbridledly, so for cultivators, the stone is the most difficult to perceive existence, and it is very difficult to control.
Thinking that these stones had existed quietly for countless years at the bottom of the lake, in the sea, on the mountains, under the ridges of the fields, nourishing their own breath, but they didn't want the heavens and the earth to know, Xu Chen suddenly figured out something.
The practice of the Demon Sect absorbs the breath of nature into the body, and if you create a world of your own in the body, this is a great blasphemy and disrespect in the orthodox teachings, so it will be called a demon by the world.
How similar are the stones in this great array to those who practice the Demon Sect's exercises that are not tolerated in the world?
Isn't this unbearable stubbornness that spans the heavens and the earth a silent rebellion against God?
When the rune array is cultivated to the depths, it will merge into the same river.
Duanmu Rong was naturally obsessed with the rune path and the formation, she felt the wonder of this big array, and found herself in the middle of it, and suddenly seemed to have become a small stubborn stone that had been silent for thousands of years under the water.
The breath of the great array made her pale cheeks show a feeling of exhaustion, but she didn't care about the pain in her body, looking around at the scattered stones, contemplating the secrets hidden in them.
Xu Chen looked at her frowning brows, shook his head and said, "These stones are a metaphor for a certain attitude, I think that the person who had the ability and courage to set up this big array back then could only be the one who entered the wasteland to preach. ”
Duanmu Rong raised his head, his beautiful slightly round cheeks were full of surprise and incomprehension, and after a while, he realized that since this is the entrance of the Demon Sect, the masters who set up the big array are of course inseparable from the Demon Sect.
She believed in Xu Chen's reasoning, although she regretted that such a beautiful and magical array was created by the people in the Demon Sect, but she didn't think too much about it, and her mind quickly immersed herself in the stones full of mountains and valleys again.
The bottom of the lake is dry and gravelly, and there are thousands of stubborn rocks lying on the wilderness, this kind of scenery is not beautiful no matter how you look at it, but in Duanmu Rong's eyes, it is beautiful, and it contains great wisdom that makes her feel palpitations.
"Why pour it out in your heart?"
Looking at the ten thousand stubborn stones between heaven and earth, the girl looked intoxicated and muttered: "That person used a thousand acres of lake water, and used the quiet and soft meaning of the lake to cover the edges and corners. ”
Xu Chen has lived a hard life since he was a child, although he writes a good hand, but he can't chant a good wet song, the aesthetic is weak and tasteless, facing the mountains and broken stones, he really sees what is beautiful, and he can't see what the meaning of the wonderful water is out, he only feels that the stones between his chest and abdomen are about to gush out from the throat tube, and he is extremely uncomfortable, and he is anxious to find a way to leave or go in, looking at Duanmu Rong's intoxicated appearance, although he is a little unbearable, he still has to interrupt the other party very sadly, and asked: " Since this big array is so powerful, can we go in?"
The world is known as Duanmu Rong's temperament is quiet and virtuous, but once she is really intoxicated, she completely forgets the world outside her body, and even forgets the injuries in her body, where is it so easy to wake up, she didn't hear Xu Chen's words at all, and said with a sad expression: "...... This big array was destroyed by someone once, and now it's probably only one in a hundred, it's a pity, and I don't know what this big array will look like when it was opened when it's intact, and I don't know if anyone will be able to reappear in the world in the future. ”
She was very sad, but Xu Chen was a little happy to hear it, thinking that if it weren't for this, the two of them would have died a long time ago, so she comforted her casually and said: "Find a way to go in first, and then talk about it, in the future, you will consult the formation more carefully, so that it will not be difficult to reappear." ”
Duanmu Rong was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, his sparse slender eyelashes blinked slightly, and after a while, his thin lips opened slightly, looking at Xu Chen and saying seriously: "You are right, there are very few people in the world who can see this place, since I have seen it and have some understanding, then I will have to find a way to make it reappear in the world in the future, if I don't work hard to practice and study, it will really disappear, then it will be my responsibility." ”
Xu Chen didn't expect that a casual sentence would let her take the initiative to take on such a heavy responsibility, there are always discontinuities in the inheritance of the cultivation world, if she can regain this magical array, it will naturally be a good thing, but he is a little worried, whether this heavy responsibility will affect her state of mind cultivation, and he was speechless for a while.
Suddenly, a question occurred to him.
The mountain of stubborn stones is so powerful with only one percent of its power left, what kind of invincible existence should it be when it was intact back then? This legendary formation called can make Duanmu Rong so intoxicated that he can leave his own great reputation in the Xiling Sect, but the foundation has actually been destroyed? Who was capable of destroying such a great array back then?
Thinking about this question, he looked at an ordinary stone in front of him and squatted down, slowly stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the two mosses on the stone, and the moss peeled off as his fingertips moved, revealing the deep traces inside the bone.
Those marks were clear sword marks, hidden by the lake and moss for decades, and did not see the light of day.
Xu Chen turned his head to look away, and found that there were also similar Dao-like mosses growing on some stones in this large array, presumably under those Dao-like mosses, there were also similar sword marks.
The sword marks on the stone are divided into two, simple and even a little rough, very casual left sword and right sword, but revealing an incomparable sense of strength, many years later, the moss attached to the sword mark and wrote a word.
Xu Chen felt the touch of his fingertips, felt the faint aura remaining between the sword marks, and understood that it was these simple and powerful sword marks that directly destroyed the foundation of the Great Array.
The aura between the sword marks was very familiar and intimate, exactly the same as the aura that had guided him to this valley a few days ago, but it was much lighter, and it should only be a remnant of that aura.
Then he noticed that the cross-sections of some of the stones were too smooth, and it was obvious that they had been cut, and when he looked for three pieces to put together, he found that indeed a whole stone had been cut into three by two swords.
The three truncated stones reverted to a whole according to the smooth sword marks, and a few traces of floating dust erupted from the gaps, and the remaining aura became a little stronger.
Xu Chen looked at the sword marks on the stone in front of him silently, as if he saw the cedar tree that stubbornly survived on the top of the snow peak again, the thousand-year-old snow could not bend its waist, it was strong and proud but disdainful of domineering, it overlooked the common people but disdained to look at the sky.
Many years ago, the breath of the person who broke the formation was very similar to the breath of the big array, they were both so stubborn and unwilling to be full of edges and corners, but they were essentially different when they tasted it.
