"I see. They are scattered again."
Upon learning that She Xuan, Hu San and Mu Jiling entered the teleportation array side by side, but were still inevitably kicked off the friendship boat, Lu Bei basically gave up hope of traveling with the sacrificed teammates.
As a human being, you have to rely on yourself.
"This one is the Light Escape Talisman, and this one is the Changchun Talisman. You probably know the specific effects of this talisman from the last time you eavesdropped on me and Fox Three, so I won't repeat myself."
Lu Bei took out two talismans and frowned, saying, "The situation in the secret realm is strange. I don't know if the Changchun Talisman will work. You can use it at your discretion. As for the Escape Light Talisman... it depends on the situation. Consider me first in times of crisis."
She Xuan took the two talismans and sucked them into her mouth and swallowed them while Lu Bei was stunned.
"Ah, this..."
"What's wrong? Is it weird for snakes to swallow things?"
"That's right, I didn't think enough."
Because he didn't think enough, Lu Bei decided to think more. His mind was full of ideas and he associated some small stories about bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and balconies.
After a moment, he gave She Xuan a thumbs up. She was indeed a charming lady with many tricks up her sleeve.
She Xuan was completely confused, not knowing what had happened to Lu Bei. When asked what rare treasures there were in this place, she told the truth.
The Taoist in purple robe arrived first. When she came, not to mention the rare treasures, she didn't even see a living person. Needless to say, they were all taken away by the Taoist in purple robe as materials for sewing corpses.
"That's weird. Everyone else is teleporting randomly, but only the Corpse Sewing Sect and their group are acting as a group. Are they just too lucky, or are their puppets half-dead and being treated as dead objects?" Lu Bei muttered to himself. He was unclear about the situation and couldn't guess the correct answer.
"What did you gain from that?"
"A few stalks of Wanling grass, a piece of black ginseng, and some worthless trinkets."
Lu Bei sighed, "In order to pick up these two things, I spent a lot of effort to convince others. Cultivating immortals is really too difficult."
The two flew and stopped many times, but did not encounter any rare treasures. After killing a few giant worms, they finally found the teleportation array to the next level underground.
"As usual, you go first and I'll cover the rear."
Based on the principle of ladies first, Lu Bei waved goodbye to She Xuan, and after she disappeared, he followed her into the teleportation array.
Bang!
Bumping into a familiar figure, Lu Bei patted She Xuan's shoulder and told her not to block the way. Just as he was wondering why the two of them were teleported to the same world, he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
"here it is… "
The huge ruins, broken walls and ruins extend for an unknown distance. Although it is spared from the erosion of wind and sun due to the secret place, it is also inevitable to the sedimentation of time, and traces of vicissitudes can be seen everywhere.
Several hundred-meter-high pillars rise from the ground, supporting the ancient monument that looks like half a palace. Totem murals are engraved on the walls, but most of them are broken and worn out by humans, and their specific shapes cannot be seen.
On a stone platform at the very center, a headless statue sits on a throne.
It is just a stone statue, and the most important parts are missing, but it still has a majestic aura that looks down on the world and looks down on all directions. It is domineering and cold, like a generation of gods and demons looking down on all living things. Looking at it for a while, it makes people feel like a big stone is pressing on their chest, which is indescribably depressing.
Lu Bei's eyes lit up. If his guess was correct, this secret place was similar to the burial place of the snake god. It was not the original land of the immortal world, but a broken fragment of the immortal world.
Be bolder, all the secret places in the world are like this.
If not, just pretend he didn't say it.
She Xuan woke up from her shock, her golden snake pupils swept around, and she frowned, "We are too late. There are obvious signs of rummaging in this ruins, and even a lot of floor tiles have been pried away. Based on my many years of experience in this industry, it is definitely not the work of the same group of people."
In other words, this was not the first time the secret realm was opened. Several groups of tomb robbers arrived one after another. The first group made a fortune, but the following groups were unwilling to return empty-handed, so they demolished walls and moved bricks, and all the objects of value were taken away.
"You have been in the industry for many years and have experience. You are really good at judging. It is getting more and more severe."
Lu Bei complained, his golden eagle eyes looking towards the red sky in the distance, and raised his hand to hold She Xuan's shoulder: "The evil spirit over there is very strong, let's go over and take a look. If we are lucky, we may be able to pick up dozens of natural treasures."
She Xuan followed and flew up. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she realized what was happening and said solemnly, "Strange. Since we are not the first group of visitors, why are there still treasures like spiritual herbs in the secret realm that our predecessors have not discovered?"
Is there a possibility that the backpack can no longer fit
Lu Bei was delighted, and after She Yan's reminder, he also reacted. But not long after, his doubts disappeared and were replaced by a shocking visual impact.
A bright white glow appeared in the darkness. Upon closer inspection, it was found that countless skeletons were piled up layer by layer to form a circle of embankments and dams.
These skeletons are of different sizes, some in the shape of humans and animals, and some are randomly long. It is impossible to tell what species they are just by looking at the bones.
In the middle of the white embankment, there was a vast sea of blood with an immeasurable volume. The blood rose up, reflecting the dark red of the entire sky. Wisps of mist lingered, as if there were vengeful spirits pacing back and forth, dark and gloomy, making people see it with their eyes, and hear the whispers and wails of thousands of creatures.
It was far more eerie and terrifying than before. Lu Bei's scalp tingled and She Xuan felt a chill all over her body. The two looked at each other, nodded, and then restrained their breath and landed on the ground.
"Sister She, based on your years of experience working in the fields, how many monsters are hidden in that sea of blood?"
Lu Bei thought about the worst and said, "There is a teleportation array to leave this place. Maybe it is just below the sea of blood. If we want to leave here alive, we need to feed the monsters first."
"I used to run a small business, and I don't think I'm qualified to go to a secret realm like this?" She Xuan rolled her eyes at Lu Bei. Although she still felt a chill in her heart, she had no doubt that she could leave alive.
It was because every time she went out with Lu Bei, she would either encounter an opportunity or turn a disaster into a blessing. Compared to the previous half of her life, her luck was exceptionally good, and she was sure that this time would be no exception.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's wait and see if there's anyone stubborn enough to explore the way. When he gets into trouble, we can make plans later."
Having said this, Lu Bei glanced at She Xuan intentionally or unintentionally.
As a sacrifice and cannon fodder, it is She Xuan's job to wade through mines and explore the way, but as a gentleman, he does not want to say these words in person, so he hopes that the cannon fodder will have some self-awareness and not embarrass him.
She Xuan turned her head to the side and slapped Lu Bei on the back of his head.
"What a pity! If only my brother were here, we would vote three to one and just elect him to take on the important task."
Not long after Lu Bei finished speaking, a golden light appeared in the ruins. Thousands of miles of dry bones were seen in the distance. After a moment of hesitation, it flew away.
I couldn't see what he looked like, but I could see that his bald head was shiny and flashing like a traffic light.
It looks like a good start at first glance.
"Sister She, look, here comes a Buddhist cultivator."
Since he started cultivating immortals, Lu Bei has seen fairies, witches, and demon women, but this is the first time he has seen a bald Buddhist cultivator. He was a little excited for a moment.
"It's just Buddhist practice. Is that so strange?"
"Of course it's strange."
Lu Bei said confidently: "Buddhist monks generally don't come out easily. Those who can come out have extraordinary abilities. Just wait and see. This bald donkey must be the key figure to break the deadlock."
…
On the Bone Hill, a loud chant of Buddhist chanting dissipated the hazy evil spirit.
"The White Mountain gathers souls, the Blood Sea gathers evil spirits, a cultivator should never set up such a vicious and evil formation..."
The Buddhist practitioner Yuantong looked at the endless white bones and listened to the sad whispers. He felt unbearable and sat cross-legged in mid-air, chanting scriptures to pray for the salvation of souls.
Although it was not as exaggerated as the thunderous sound of the Buddha's teachings, with his magical power, magnificent golden light spread out, and he managed to open up a golden space despite the pressure of the endless red light.
The golden light is holy, compassionate and merciful. It dispels the strong evil spirit and brings peace to the area.
Compared with the land of thousands of miles of bones, the golden light as small as a sesame seed is not worth mentioning, not even a drop in the ocean, but persistence is the key to success. If he is given a hundred years of time, he might be able to dispel the strong evil spirit of this place.
"Bald donkey, why are you talking so loudly?"
Gnashing teeth and hateful voices came from the Bone Mountain. Two demon cultivators in black robes slowly emerged. One of them held a spear and a soul-gathering banner and threatened, "It's such a big place. Why do you have to stand on top of me? You've made it impossible for my treasured banner to gather the evil spirit. Get out of here now, or I'll refine you and use you as a drink."
Yuantong: “…”
He did not respond, but lowered his head and silently recited scriptures, but the veins on his neck were bulging, as if he was enduring something.
"Brother, this bald donkey is too skinny to eat with wine. Please give me some face and kill him with one knife."
"What do you know? Ribs like this will become more flavorful and chewy if they are stewed for a long time."
"I've never eaten it before, how about trying it today?"
"Just give it a try."
The two brothers were sarcastic for a while, but seeing that Yuantong looked aggrieved but did not dare to get angry, they laughed a few times and sneered. One of them waved the soul-gathering banner and the other took out the red blood knife, which attracted evil spirits and condensed into a giant skeleton tens of meters high, which pounced on Yuantong with ghostly howls.
At first glance, the two demon cultivators seemed to be bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, but a closer look revealed that both brothers were at the level of Divine Transformation. There were few demons with such high cultivation in Ningzhou. I think they had received news from the secret realm and came here specifically to seek an opportunity.
The skeleton giant slapped down its bony claws from mid-air, and when it approached Yuantong, it collided with the golden shield. With a bang, the metal clashed, but it failed to hurt the enemy, and was instead consumed by the golden light. Seventy to eighty percent of its evil spirit was gone, and only thirty percent was left, which was far from enough to support its form, and it shattered like a bubble.
Yuantong: “…”
He did not respond, but lowered his head and silently recited scriptures, but his fists clenched and unclenched, and loosened and clenched again, as if he was enduring something.
"Brother, Bald Donkey has something."
"He's a bald donkey, not a eunuch, so of course he has something, everyone does!"
"It's a pity that he met us two brothers. He's in a good mood today. I wonder how long he can stay so aloof."
"Yes, it will break his Buddhist precepts. That scene will be very interesting."
"Ga ga ga—" x2
The two demon cultivators laughed wildly, and the demonic sound rolled like a tide, overwhelming the sound of chanting. The golden light space that had just been held up for a short while was immediately submerged by the red light that swept in.
"Damn it, please have mercy on me, why are the rules and regulations so difficult to follow?"
Yuantong stood up, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the two demon cultivators. He took a deep breath and roared like a lion, "What a pair of bastards! I have been enduring you for almost half a cup of tea! You just broke the precepts, come here and stand still. If I don't beat the shit out of you two bastards today, you will forget about observing the precepts!"
