Tu Shi calmly let Ye Su come down.
Ye Su fell to the ground and frowned as he looked at Cheng Huaian and Lian Lian whose spiritual meridians were sealed. Although it was difficult to draw the runes on the stone tablet before, they had never caused them such serious injuries.
"The talisman is in the same formation, and the two centers are located in the west and the center respectively." Tu Shi held the staff in his hand and said calmly, "Eight or nine of the stone tablets on the west are broken. The evil spirits of the formation are all gathered here. It is very ominous."
"Senior Tu, how should we solve this problem?" Xu Chengyu asked.
"This formation is dead. If there is no great master who can cross the tribulation and complete the runes, anyone else who touches it will die." Tu Shi looked at Ye Su and said, "The only solution is that after I remove the evil spirit of the magic formation on the west, you and him can complete the runes on the west and the stone tablet in the center, and open the two formation eyes at the same time to reverse the life and death formation, and then you can leave."
Xu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, there was still a way out.
Tu Shi did not immediately start to remove the evil spirit from the magic circle on the west side, but waited for Cheng Huaian and Lian Lian to heal their wounds and watched them take the pills.
"Do you have a dagger?" Tu Shi asked Ye Su.
"Yes." Ye Su took out a dagger from his Qiankun bag and handed it to him.
"Where's the mirror?"
“Yes.”
Tu Shi was not surprised at all: "As for things, you have more weapon refiners."
He sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the mirror on his thighs, held his hair with one hand and cut it with a dagger with the other.
After doing this over and over again, Tu Shi shaved off all his gray hair, long eyebrows and beard, revealing a handsome young face.
Even You Fushi, who was always dozing off, turned to look at him, so it was impossible for Ye Su not to notice.
Tu Shi stood up and returned the dagger and mirror to Ye Su.
"What is this?" Ye Su spread out a stack of bound letters wrapped around the dagger and looked up at Tu Shi.
Tu Shi said proudly: "This is the magic circle I have researched here for two hundred years. It can fight against the magic circle of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. The last few pages were inspired by this magic circle."
He paused, and then said, "I haven't had time to repay your master's kindness yet. I'm giving you this letter as a token of my gratitude."
Ye Su was not very happy. She frowned and said, "Senior Tu, you should personally deliver the favor letter to my master."
"Your master is the disciple of your great master, and you are your master's disciple." Tu Shi said indifferently, "We are all disciples, so it doesn't matter who you hand over to."
"… What method do you want to use to get rid of the evil spirit?" Ye Su suddenly asked.
Tu Shi: "Of course I will use my method. You, a weapon refiner, also want to understand magic arrays?"
Ye Su asked in a different way: "What is the price to pay for reversing the life and death formation?"
a long time.
"Using one's own body to attract evil and save others' lives." Tu Shi looked at Ye Su deeply, "This is the price of reversing the life and death formation."
"What do you mean?" Ma Congqiu beside him didn't understand, "Saving others alive, what about Senior Tu?"
"Senior Tu wants to save us alone?" Ye Su stood opposite Tu Shi and said calmly, "Two hundred years. You have been here for two hundred years. Don't you want to go out and take a look? We can think of other ways and we will definitely be able to get out."
“Naive.” Tu Shi held the staff and laughed, “The double array of stone tablet runes is unheard of, and the killing intent is beyond imagination. If you can’t complete the runes, all of us will just disappear completely as the spiritual energy dries up.”
This is a world, sandwiched between reality and illusion. Unlike the Qianji Gate where the spiritual energy is dried up, without the spiritual energy here, the world will be reduced to ashes along with everything inside it.
"I think I am destined to die, but fortunately I can meet a new person before I die, which can be considered as fulfilling my wish." Tu Shi tightly grasped the staff and said word by word, "All Buddhas save others, which is to save themselves."
While Ye Su and the other two were filling in the talismans, Tu Shi was studying the stone tablet magic array. He got inspiration from the very beginning and deduced several other magic arrays. Later, he discovered the evil spirit of the death array, and he struggled a lot.
For two hundred years, a full two hundred years, Tu Shi continued to practice with hope, waiting for the day when he could get out.
This day was finally coming, but it was suddenly cut short.
After struggling and hesitating for several times, Tu Shi finally made a choice.
This is the only way left for us to take. If we don't take this path, the world will shatter and disappear.
"Next year, when the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect selects a Buddhist disciple, you can pour me a glass of wine and talk about it." Tu Shi smiled casually, "I have never drunk wine before, but I will have to taste it when I die."
There was a long silence, and no one responded.
Until Lu Jiu asked: "Senior, you have already reached the fusion stage and have formed a Nascent Soul long ago. Doesn't it mean you still have a chance of survival?"
After a cultivator forms a fetus, it is equivalent to having a second life. As long as the fetus is intact, there will be a chance for him to be reborn in the future. If he is a powerful person, he can also keep his memory.
But the Nascent Soul cannot escape from the evil spirits, the purgatory, and the endless pain.
"Yes, there is still a glimmer of hope, so I am the most suitable person." Tu Shi did not say what he was thinking. Instead, he followed Lu Jiu's words and pointed at Xu Chengyu and Cheng Huaian and said, "Besides, these two guys don't even know how to cast a magic circle, let alone how to save others' lives."
Tu Shi originally wanted to enter the killing formation first, and then inform them when he had no chance to regret it later. He didn't expect Ye Su to be so perceptive.
"Senior, if you can't come back, I will take this book on magic arrays to learn from it, and then I will go to suppress your Wanfo Sect." Ye Su suddenly said.
Tu Shi: “???”
The young man is talking about something.
"I'm giving it to you because I hope someone will learn my magic circle in the future." Now that he had said it, Tu Shi didn't hide it. He looked at Ye Su and shook his head, "Do you think the magic circle is a talisman that you can learn easily?"
Lian Lian and Cheng Huaian, who had just woken up, heard this: "..."
"Time is running out. I can sense that the world is starting to become unstable. Since you two are awake, continue." Tu Shi shrunk the ground to an inch and suddenly stood in front of the stone tablet to the west. "Ye Su, remember to reverse the life and death formation at the same time as the formation's core is opened."
He drew a magic circle in the air with one hand, and held the magic staff tightly with the other hand, chanting the mantra: "No matter how things change, they remain unchanged. Buddha is born and Dharma is non-existent. Life and death are reversed!"
As the last word came out of his mouth, he raised his staff and slammed it heavily on the ground.
Boundless evil energy rose from the base of the western stone tablet, surrounding Tu Shi and seeming to tear him apart.
Tu Shi was still chanting the spell and drawing the magic circle over and over again, and all the evil energy was poured into him alone.
"Let's go!" Ye Su said to Lian Lian and Cheng Huaian expressionlessly.
Ye Su was responsible for the tallest stone tablet in the center, while Cheng Huaian and Lian Lian continued to repair the west stone tablet.
This time the two of them were really not attacked by the evil spirit. Lian Lian saw from the corner of his eye that the monk on the ground did not move a single motion, allowing the boundless evil spirit to pour into his body, and his hands were shaking violently.
She had many sudden realizations, but actually she didn't draw much. In total, she only completed one and a half stone tablets, and it was Cheng Huaian who helped her all the time.
“… Buddha gave birth to Dharma without existence…” Later on, Tu Shi’s body had begun to swell. He stopped drawing the magic circle and just put his hands together and began to chant the mantra intermittently.
Lian Lian retracted her gaze, grabbed her right hand with her left hand, took a deep breath, and began to draw the rune, one stroke, two strokes... It didn't seem that difficult to start.
At least it’s not as painful as Senior Tu below.
"One, two, three... There are two more stone tablets!" Zhou Yun counted and shouted.
"The black sandstorm is coming!" Lu Jiu looked into the distance and immediately informed everyone, "Time is running out."
These black sandstorms are several times larger than before. I can’t get out this time, and I’m afraid my corpse will remain here forever.
