After a feeling of falling, Chen Lin appeared in a simple stone chamber.
Then there was a pause.
The figure of Master Wan Meng was not seen, but Nian Qing was sitting in the middle of the stone chamber with a white lotus in his hand.
There is nothing except each other.
Moreover, the stone chamber was surrounded by walls on all sides, without even a door, so it was obviously impossible to leave in a normal way.
Chen Lin immediately put the Xuanwu Shield in front of him and looked at the other party vigilantly.
But the other party ignored him and said calmly: "You helped me suppress the evil thoughts of my fellow brothers. According to the rules, you can get a reward from me."
After saying this, he waved his monk robe and four items appeared on the ground, arranged in order, but there was no intention of introducing them.
Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise.
The other party's actions made it impossible for him to tell whether the other party was a normal person with a completely independent personality, or a demon creature who could only follow the rules.
He originally wanted to ask the other party something, but he couldn't ask anymore under the circumstances.
If the other party is just a demon creature that follows the rules, speaking rashly may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Suppressing his doubts, Chen Lin focused his attention on what the other party took out.
The four items were a set of golden wooden fish and hammer, an egg-sized crystal stone, half a stick of coarse incense, and a sword.
Among them, the wooden fish and crystal stone are obviously extraordinary objects, emitting strange energy fluctuations, while the coarse incense and the sword look very ordinary.
If he had to choose normally, Chen Lin would definitely choose crystal stone.
This stone gave him a very mysterious feeling, and it vaguely echoed his Vajra Body Tempering Technique. If he could absorb the energy inside, the Body Tempering Technique might have the possibility of being advanced.
But after what he had just experienced, he believed in the words of the Wooden Chicken and chose the sword without hesitation.
When there are three, choose the first one; when there are four, choose the last one!
Seeing Chen Lin pick up the sword, Nian Qing still had no expression.
He waved his sleeves again, and the remaining three items were collected. Then he said expressionlessly: "This knife has the power to sever cause and effect, but it can only be used once. It requires special power to activate it. The stronger the power, the greater the power."
Chen Lin was surprised when he heard this. How could something as illusory as cause and effect be cut off
This already involves the rules, right? Could it be that this knife is also a magical treasure
Looking at the sword in his hand, Chen Lin didn't find any spiritual aura, which he felt was not quite right.
It should be a special treasure, and it is a one-time thing, and it is only effective against the power of cause and effect.
If the hexagram of the wooden chicken is still accurate, this object will definitely be useful to him and can protect him from disasters.
However, how can you see the cause and effect you want to cut off? You can't just chop it randomly. A person is involved in countless causes and effects. How can you be sure that you don't cut the wrong one
He had many questions in his mind, but the other party did not give him the opportunity to ask them.
The other party turned the white lotus in his hand, and a white light wrapped around him, followed by a pulling sensation.
"There is a powerful monster suppressed in this tower. It is beyond your current level of understanding. Do not try to explore here anymore."
Before Chen Lin's figure disappeared, the voice sounded again. This time the voice seemed very normal, but the tone had changed. It sounded like he was reciting Qing, but also like he was reciting Kong.
Faintly, he saw bursts of black air emanating from Nian Qing's body, and his face kept changing, which was very strange.
"You're coming out?"
Chen Lin felt his body lighten, and he appeared in the yard where the big bell was. Master Wan Meng had also come out and was looking at him expressionlessly.
"Sir, we can't stay here for long. Let's get out first!"
Nian Qing's final change made Chen Lin nervous. Although he knew that the other party must have some suspicions about him, he did not explain immediately, but walked quickly towards the Sutra Library.
Master Wan Meng frowned, but did not attack immediately. He also walked into the Sutra Library.
At the entrance to the secret realm of the Hanhai Fairy Palace, two figures appeared one after another and landed on the ground.
Only then did Chen Lin breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved.
This exploration made him uneasy and he needed to calm down for some time and analyze things carefully. He had to make sure that there was no problem with the body infusion inheritance that Niankong had given him, otherwise he would not be able to continue practicing the Vajra Body Refining Technique.
Moreover, the Body Refining Technique is not like an internal cultivation technique. Once there is a problem, you can't even disperse the power, unless you don't want this body anymore.
"Now you can tell me!"
Master Wan Meng took a look at the space ripples that had returned to calm and spoke to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin immediately stopped thinking and nodded.
The other party had been exploring for so many years, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain. He must be filled with endless anger. If he doesn't give him an explanation, the other party might even attack him.
But there was nothing to hide, so he told the story of the wooden chicken telling his fortune, but he did not mention Niuniu's amulet. He just said that the wooden chicken told his fortune because he promised to give the wooden chicken a pass.
In addition, he also told Nian Qing about the incident of being dragged into the stone chamber. Otherwise, the other party would definitely be suspicious since he came out so much later than the other party.
"A wooden chicken that can tell fortunes all the time?"
Master Wan Meng seemed very surprised, but he did not doubt Chen Lin's words.
He has experienced many more scenes of the demon world than Chen Lin, and understands the wonders of the demon world better. Mu Ji can tell fortunes, which is normal in the demon world.
"When three comes, choose the first one. When four comes, choose the last one. Seven stars are connected, all the way to the east?"
Master Wan Meng repeated the hexagram that Chen Lin had said in a low voice and fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "According to what you said, only the first two sentences came true in the Demon-Suppressing Temple just now, and the corresponding scene of the Seven Stars in a Line did not appear. Does that mean that it might come true in this world?"
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either. Strictly speaking, only the first sentence came true. The second sentence was the last of four choices. I just chose the fourth one when I took the item. I can't be sure whether I escaped the disaster because of this."
Upon hearing this, Master Wan Meng nodded.
With his unique sensing ability, he could feel that Chen Lin was not lying. Perhaps he was hiding something, but everything he said was true.
At this time, Chen Lin spoke again: "But the person the wooden chicken used to tell fortunes was me. The same divination may not work well on others. Lord Wan Meng must not be misled."
"I know that."
Master Wan Meng replied, and then asked in confusion: "However, the Seven Stars in a Row is a kind of astrological phenomenon. Once this kind of astrological phenomenon appears, it often means that something major is going to happen. The wooden chicken gave such a hexagram. Could it be that this kind of astrological phenomenon will appear in this world in the near future?"
At this point, he immediately said, "No, I'm going to ask the Xing Sect to have Zhuge Hengyun activate the stargazing formation again and observe the celestial phenomena to see if there are any unusual signs!"
After saying that, he did not continue to delve into what Chen Lin had obtained inside, but took Chen Lin directly back to the City Lord's Mansion through the underground teleportation array.
Master Wan Meng hurried to Wenxing Sect. Chen Lin was in no mood to stay in the city. After saying hello to Liu Ruolan, he went straight back to Qingyang Sect.
Then he locked himself in the training room and studied the sword.
He wanted to figure out what the cause and effect was that could make the hexagram of the Wooden Chicken come true, and how could this knife be activated!
