As soon as he sat on the mat, a thick black fog rose in the entire confinement cell.
After being shrouded in this thick fog, Chen Lin felt a lot of distracting thoughts and all kinds of desires came to his mind and could not be suppressed.
Like a demon in the heart.
At the same time, he also felt that the concentration of demonic energy had increased several times, and when his mind was unable to concentrate, it gradually invaded his body.
Fortunately, his soul power automatically defended and expelled the evil spirit.
In order to prevent excessive consumption of soul power, Chen Lin took out a piece of fairy stone and held it in his hand.
But he soon discovered that the light of the Immortal Stone was unable to completely block the thick demonic energy. It only weakened a part of it, and a large amount of demonic energy still invaded his body!
This situation surprised him greatly. It was the first time that the Immortal Stone became ineffective.
Just with such a small distraction, Chen Lin's face became distorted, and bursts of black air emanated from his body. He was shocked and hurriedly concentrated and calmed his mind, focusing on resisting the invasion of inner demons caused by the thick fog.
It took a full quarter of an hour before the black energy was suppressed again.
After about another hour, the black air in the stone chamber receded like a tide, the torture of Dao Heart ended, and everything returned to normal.
Chen Lin was sweating profusely and trembling all over. It took him a while to calm down.
This mental torture was too terrifying, even more powerful than the inner demon he encountered when he broke through the Nascent Soul stage. If he had not used the Asking Stone to experience countless reincarnations and strengthen his own beliefs, he might not have been able to withstand it.
The most important thing is that he is not a local demon creature. While fighting against the desires of his inner demons, he also has to resist the invasion of demonic energy that is several times thicker than the fog.
It is even more difficult to take care of both ends.
Fortunately, his golden soul power was still strong and the demonic energy was never allowed to enter his body. However, after such a long time, the golden soul power was reduced to only a little, and the silver soul power seemed unable to completely eliminate the damage caused by such strong demonic energy.
After recovering, Chen Lin began to check his body. After finding nothing abnormal, he stood up, walked to the door and looked outside.
The corridor was silent.
There is a sign hanging on the door of each stone chamber, which contains the cell number and the number of days left for the person in confinement.
He held the jade talisman in his sleeve, sensed it carefully, and then looked at a stone chamber diagonally to the left.
At the same time, a faint sound came from the stone chamber, and a ragged pig-headed Taoist walked to the door of the stone chamber.
The other party had a dazed look on his face, with waves of black energy still emanating from his body. He had not completely gotten rid of the demon in his heart.
Chen Lin looked at the other person with a heavy expression. This person was undoubtedly the old Taoist priest. Although he had a pig's head, his appearance still had a trace of the original one and could be identified.
The other party was a powerful Taoist master, but he was turned into this state. It was very surprising to him.
Moreover, judging from the concentration of the demonic aura on the other party, the degree of demonization is even higher than that of the Silver Fairy. Even if he goes out now, it is hard to say whether he can recover completely.
"You're here?"
As Chen Lin was observing, the old Taoist priest's voice rang in his ears.
His eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that the situation had not yet reached the worst and the old Taoist had not yet lost his sanity.
"How is the Taoist priest?"
Chen Lin immediately sent a voice message to ask.
He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask the other party, which were important as they related to his next actions.
"Haha, you can see that I'm on the verge of collapse. If you don't come, I won't be able to hold on any longer."
The old Taoist's words made Chen Lin suspicious.
What did the other party ask him to come in for? He didn't have the ability to rescue the other party, so what was the point of coming in
Thinking of this, he directly asked through voice transmission: "Master, is there anything I can do for you? However, I am in a difficult situation right now, so I am afraid I can't help you."
"Haha, don't be so modest. In this demon world, your special soul power is much more useful than mine."
The old Taoist replied, and then continued: "Your confinement time is only three days, so you will leave before me. When the time comes, you will take my master Yuxuzi's jade talisman to find him, and then use your jade talisman to activate it and see if you can wake my master up. If successful, you and I can leave safely. If it fails, it will be dangerous."
Chen Lin was puzzled when he heard this: "Since the Taoist priest wants to use the jade talisman to wake up Senior Yuxuzi, why doesn't he do it himself?"
The old Taoist said helplessly: "I was put in solitary confinement for violating the rules right after I came in. It lasted for a whole month. There is still about half a month left before the time is up. In my current condition, I am afraid I won't be able to make it until then."
"oh?"
Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "What kind of environment was it when the Taoist priest came in? Didn't you see Senior Yuxuzi?"
The old Taoist looked at Chen Lin in surprise and said, "When I came in, it was a school. I had to pay five magic coins to attend the lecture. The lecturer was a female pig-headed monster. I didn't see my master."
Then he asked in an expectant tone: "You ask this, could it be that the environment you came in from is different from mine, and did you see my master?"
Chen Lin blinked.
It seems that the people entering this scene do not start from the same point of view. Although they are all attending lectures, the charging standards and lecturers are different.
He thought for a moment and said without hiding anything, "I did see a Taoist priest in a white robe named Yuxuzi. His head also underwent a strange change. He had a deep voice and an extraordinary temperament. He was the one who taught me. Later, he was the one who sent me here to be detained because I made a mistake."
The old Taoist fell silent, seemingly thinking about something.
After a while, he transmitted again: "The voice is deep, the temperament is extraordinary, and he is wearing a white robe. He must be my master. I didn't expect you to meet him as soon as you came in. Did he treat you in any special way?"
"No."
Chen Lin recalled and answered directly.
"No, there must be something special. As far as I know, anyone who commits a crime and is put in solitary confinement is sentenced to at least one month, but you only got three days. And you said that it was my master who sentenced you, so there must be a difference in treatment. Maybe he sensed my jade talisman on you, so he gave you a lighter sentence."
The old Taoist priest's words made Chen Lin fall into deep thought. This possibility could not be ruled out.
"Okay, when I meet Senior Yuxuzi again after I go out, I will try it according to what you said. Now, can you tell me about your understanding of this scene?"
After some telepathic communication, Chen Lin learned a lot of information from the old Taoist.
Returning to the stone chamber and sitting on the mat, he frowned.
According to the old Taoist priest, it might not be easy to leave this scene.
Ever since the Taoist ruins appeared in the Tianfang Continent, the other party began to study this scene, investing much more than he did.
He could think of hiring an old cultivator to explore, so naturally the other party could think of it as well. Moreover, with the other party's cultivation level and wealth, he hired not only Qi training and foundation building cultivators, but also Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. He even sent people with enough magic coins and even passes, but none of them returned. They all died and turned into pig-headed monsters.
When they were outside, they couldn't infer the situation inside, but they understood after they came in.
If completing the class lectures is considered completing the mission, then the other party sent in so many people with enough magic coins, it is impossible that no one could get out. From this, it can be inferred that some key tasks should be completed before they are considered to have complied with the rules and thus be qualified to leave safely.
Otherwise, as long as it is excluded, it will be judged as a failure.
The old Taoist wanted to wake up Yuxuzi, not only to rescue him, but also to find out from Yuxuzi the rules of leaving and what steps he had to achieve to be considered successful.
Three days passed in a flash.
Chen Lin stood up and walked to the door to watch.
Except for the first day when the old Taoist priest came out to communicate with him, he never appeared again. It is estimated that his physical condition further deteriorated and he dared not be distracted.
The black fog that tortures one's mind is so overbearing that even if one resists it at the time, it will leave marks on one's mind. If it appears again next time, its power will increase.
If the old Taoist priest was not a powerful Taoist, he would not have been able to hold on for so long.
He himself managed to survive three days by relying on the power of the golden soul, and even had time to think about the information he got from Lao Dao.
However, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with it, so he finally decided to wait until he left and then do as the other party said and try to activate the jade talisman in front of Yuxuzi.
The jade talisman contains the Taoist's original soul power, which may be able to cause some reaction from the other party.
After waiting for a while, when it was time to come in, Chen Lin felt a flash before his eyes and he had left the solitary confinement cell.
But before he could relax, he found himself in a magnificent lobby.
Then a shrill voice sounded.
"Haha, the bride and groom are out, we can get married now!"
