Knife splashing

Chapter 378 Doomed

Cave!

Almost instantly, Li Yan understood where this place was.

There are actually two types of so-called paradise.

One is outside, which is the famous mountains and rivers, the place where the innate spiritual energy gathers, which is helpful for spiritual practice. The monks use it to concentrate their spirits and build buildings.

There is another relatively hidden place, also located in famous mountains and rivers, but it is a unique space for earthly immortals to hide.

And the one in front of me is a little special.

They seemed to be using the giant clam pearls from the ancient wild times to reflect the "Qingshan" that only exists in the fairyland, or the Daluo Dharma Realm.

And the place called "Qingshan" is where Qiongqi lives...

There are many things that Li Yan doesn't quite understand, but he knows clearly that these people are not immortals, but a group of criminals hiding here!
Sure enough, he was surrounded by white mist again.

The situation was urgent and Li Yan didn't have time to think too much. He quickly passed through the white fog and a well appeared in front of him.

The difference is that two wells appeared at the same time.

One is a stone well, and the other is a bronze well.

Li Yan was stunned when he saw it. He didn't expect that there were two kinds of criminals here!

To date, he has seen three types of wells.

Shijing is used to capture people who have returned to the world. There is turbid black water in the bronze well, and those he is required to capture are all evil spirits who have escaped from the underworld.

Finally, the blood in the black well is used to capture the evil spirit.

There are two kinds of criminals appearing at the same time, this place is really weird!
Li Yan quickly placed his hand on the edge of the well.

The water surged, and streaks of light and shadow appeared:

There was an ancient witch from the Fuxi tribe who committed a serious crime and led his tribe to flee to the vicinity of Mount Xian. Under the guidance of an old man, he dug in the mountain. After many years, he dug out the giant clam pearl and built the ruins...

Li Yan had seen this old man at the goddess of Han River and found out that he was the ancient immortal Chisongzi. He practiced with the help of the precious pearl and then left Xian Mountain to travel.

After Chisongzi left, the Fuxi tribe took control of this place again, and gradually some people learned the art of transformation and could turn into the ferocious beast Qiongqi.

Afterwards, all the dying leaders entered the orb, while other tribesmen helped them capture people and perform sacrifices, changing the name of the tribe to the Qiongqi Tribe.

In that ancient era, there was no such thing as Heavenly Law, and this place had become a holy place for cultivation, with many tribes even coming to visit...

Seeing this, Li Yan had already vaguely figured out the whole thing.

The descendants of Shaohao at that time probably learned the "Qiongqi" transformation technique here.

He continued to read, and things changed again.

Gradually this place got out of control, and during blood sacrifices, the people of the Qiongqi tribe would be illuminated by the blue light and their souls would be taken away, so the entire tribe migrated and this place gradually declined.

The person hidden in the orb continues to deceive those who come after him...

Many years later, three more people came together, one was Guiguzi, one was Changshangjun, and the other was Qu Feizi.

Guiguzi entered the orb to practice and left easily. Before leaving, he warned the two of the danger and destroyed several water wheels.

Qu Feizi was already old and could not resist the temptation to enter. Changshangjun was waiting outside. After several years, he moved Qu Feizi's body out and turned into the ferocious beast Qiongqi to attack him.

Chang Sangjun was completely desperate. After killing the beast, he and his disciple Bian Que conducted an autopsy study on it...

This secret was still leaked out.

Later, another monk came here, hid his body in it, led people to perform blood sacrifices, and fed them with their spirits, achieving another kind of immortality...

Until Xing Hepu and the old Taoist arrived, the old Taoist could not resist the temptation and stayed behind, asking Xing Hepu to leave and find someone to perform the blood sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, Xing Hepu never returned and became a living ghost. The last time he came, he put Wang Chan Patriarch's Sutra Forest into it, and then set up a large formation to seal off this place.

Li Yan didn't know Xing Hepu's purpose, but he had no connections with these people, so he just arrested them all!
Just then, he moved his ears again.

Wow…

The sound of rippling water in the well reached his ears, but it was vague and there was a faint sound of human voices mixed in.

"Finally...found it..."

"Don't miss any loopholes in the communication world..."

Li Yan was shocked, but his face showed no expression.

These sounds...

Could it be someone from the underworld?
After taking on the stone well mission, he came to the bronze well.

In the bronze well, black water surged, and light and shadows were also lingering.

This time, the scene was different:

I saw those people practicing in the orb, their souls entering the cave, and every time they held a blood sacrifice, black mist would appear out of thin air, transforming into the appearance of the Qiongqi beast and drilling into their bodies...

It turns out that the "Qiongqi" transformation technique originated from here!

After taking on all the tasks, the white mist in front of my eyes dissipated instantly.

Just like in the outside world, it seems like a long time, but in fact it is only a short moment.

"Roar!"

The shrill roar echoed throughout the ruins.

No matter the later monks or the people of the ancient Qiongqi tribe, they all turned into ferocious beasts, flapped their wings, and rushed out of the ruins with black smoke.

The demons of Tiansheng Sect were shocked.

They had no idea what was happening and turned around to escape, only to find that this place was like an isolated island.

Outside the giant clam ruins, there is a large hillside, which seems to be surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds, but if you go further, it is dark and seems to be blocked by an invisible wall.

They wanted to resist, but were horrified to find that the weapons in their hands had disappeared and even their magic spells were difficult to use.

The first to bear the brunt were the two big monsters.

No matter whether it was the East Lake Patriarch or the Crocodile Master, after entering this place, all the scars on their bodies disappeared, but they were still unable to use magic.

They were the largest in size and attracted the most Qiongqi, so they could only bite and flutter left and right to knock the charging Qiongqi away.

The East Lake Patriarch was slightly stronger, but here, it was the Crocodile Master who had the advantage. With his tough armor, he not only knocked away the Qiongqi that pounced on him time and time again, but also protected Lu San and others.

Seeing this, Li Yan did not dare to hesitate at all. He jumped up the valley several times and shouted, "Brother Lu San, close your eyes!"

After that, he pinched the hook and read aloud: "Heaven has rules, earth has rules, the underworld is arresting souls, the living must stay away!"

"Close your eyes!"

When Lu San heard this, he quickly instructed Master Tuo, Wu Ba and others.

Master Crocodile also vaguely knew what was going on, so he immediately closed his eyes, twisted his body, and protected Lu San and the others inside, with his tough scales exposed, allowing the ferocious beasts to tear him to pieces.

But soon, the biting stopped.

Master Tu heard the sound of wind blowing around him, followed by the roars of countless people in resignation and fear, "No, don't!"

Li Yan, who was standing on the top of the ruins mountain, was also a little surprised.

This time the appearance of the ghost soldiers was very different from the previous ones.

The surrounding sea of ​​clouds suddenly turned as dark as ink, followed by a howling strong wind, and turned into black flags in the sky.

All those Qiongqi ferocious beasts transformed into human form, roared madly, and ran towards the gem in the center of the ruins.

However, darkness came like a tide, coming from all directions and flooding the place.

Li Yan also quickly closed his eyes.

But this time, something is different.

He had the ability to hear and could hear the words of ghosts and gods.

In the howling wind, one can hear not only the sound of chains rolling, but also the neighing of war horses and the sound of armor surging.

Faintly, I could hear someone talking in the distance.

"Reporting to the general, all the criminals have been captured!"

"Break the scorpion bead and fill the hole, otherwise the evil energy of the Daluo Dharma Realm will continue to flow into the human world and cause disasters!"

"General, this time there are too many hidden merits. If you grant me the order, I am afraid that what I have left in the Six Palaces will not be enough. I will have to ask the Ten Palaces for more in the future..."

The other voice was silent for a moment, "Bring that thing here and let the living ghost choose it himself. If he can choose it, we will not be considered to have violated the law of heaven..."

Li Yan's heart was pounding, but he pretended to be expressionless. This cave was completely submerged in darkness.

Only the huge gem in the center still emits a bright blue light, but it is like a candle in the wind, constantly eroded by the darkness.

Bang!
Finally, the blue light of the orb completely dissipated.

Li Yan's eyes went dark and white mist appeared around him again.

He moved forward quickly, the fog dissipated, and a large tripod appeared in front of him. It had an ancient shape and a texture like black jade.

There are black rays hovering on the tripod.

Li Yan was very familiar with the aura of the black light; it was the Gangling.

In addition, there are five small black flags, which look tattered and ordinary.

This was obviously intended to allow him to make a choice.

Li Yan pretended to hesitate, then grabbed five small flags.

Suddenly, a strong cold wind blew around.

Li Yan slowly opened his eyes again and found that he had returned to his body. However, he didn't know when, and now he was sitting cross-legged in a cave on the stone wall, just like those corpses.

This crystal cave is also changing.

The surrounding blue light gradually faded, and the corpses decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, even the stone tablets of Patriarch Wang Chan seemed to be destroyed by some force and shattered to the ground.

When Li Yan saw this, he felt heartbroken.

He only read "Daluo Dharma Realm" and knew a little secret of the so-called fairyland, how to avoid the heavenly rules, and those deeper secrets of heaven and earth, but he didn't have time to read them.

But it's normal to think about it.

If these secrets could be circulated freely, Xing Hepu would not have hidden them here. If the Yin soldiers saw them, they would definitely destroy them.

Click!Click!
As the blue light faded, the spiritual charm of the cave formed by the gem also dissipated, and it became similar to plaster, with cracks appearing.

Li Yan didn't care about anything else. He quickly stood up, took the Gangbu step, pinched the magic formula, and used the Beidi Xuanshui escape.

This place is buried deep at the bottom of the river. Once it is broken, river water and silt will surely rush in crazily. He must find a chance to escape.

Boom!

Finally, the cave collapsed completely, and the river water and silt poured down in an instant, swallowing all the rotten corpses.

Just when this place was about to be completely destroyed, Li Yan's hidden energy burst out and directly broke through the top. With the power of Xuanshui Dun, he kept twisting his body and rushed out against the mud and water.

However, as the orb was destroyed, the water level of the underground river returned to normal, with turbulent undercurrents, sweeping up the silt and creating a huge suction force.

It was like a pair of big hands pulling Li Yan down.

Just at this moment, a black shadow came roaring over, it was Master Tuo.

The alligator was good at digging holes. It floundered with its limbs and stuck its head directly into the mud. It rushed out with Li Yan on its head and quickly swam to the surface.

"Brother Yan!"

On the stone platform, Lu San waved his hands and shouted.

"Hahaha…"

After surviving the disaster, Li Yan was in a good mood. He jumped onto the stone platform.

All around the stone platform, I saw those monsters lying dead on the ground, their skin was pale and blue, their eyes were full of fear, and there was white frost on their clothes.

Li Yan knew what was going on as soon as he saw it.

Lu San had been walking with him all the way and already knew the taboos of the underworld in capturing people. He knew that he must suppress his curiosity and not look around carelessly.

These people were probably guilty of violating taboos and were taken away directly.

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at the river again.

The underground river was surging and violent, and the body of the East Lake ancestor was floating on the water, also covered with white frost. It was obviously an unlucky curious baby.

The crocodile master was holding the other's body and dragging it to the shore.

Boom!
After getting ashore, the body of the East Lake Patriarch was thrown heavily to the ground.

The crocodile master opened his mouth wide and ripped open the tiger's belly.

Li Yan frowned, "Senior, now is not a good time to eat..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed and he hurried forward.

After Master Tuo ripped open the stomach of the East Lake Patriarch, his internal organs immediately flowed out, and the stench was overwhelming.

Not only that, its internal organs have also changed.

Its liver had turned into a stone-like shape, covered with holes like a honeycomb, with white poisonous insects writhing inside.

When Master Tu saw this, he growled.

Lu San immediately understood and said, "Master Tu has been poisoned. This thing must be taken away and used to cure the poison after being dried..."

However, Li Yan did not bother to say more. He stepped forward and swung his knife to cut open the small stomach next to the stomach of the Donghu ancestor.

Wow!
Dense amounts of copper coins gushed out.

Lu San was stunned. "So much winning money?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "This Donghu ancestor was enlightened by Grandmaster Liu Hai, and he probably saw the real three-legged golden toad, but it's a pity that he eventually went astray."

As he spoke, his face became serious and he took out a few coins from the talisman collection.

It is the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin!
And among this pile of money, just a quick glance shows that there are dozens of Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coins, and quite a few other precious coins as well.

Li Yan once asked someone to look for the descendants of the old soldiers. Even if they couldn't find them, they could still collect the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coins.

Sadly, all of them are missing.

It turned out that the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Money had been taken away by Zhao Changsheng.

If it weren't for an accident, I'm afraid his family would be among them.

Click!

At this moment, cracks appeared in the ruins, shattering like a spider web, and a huge gap appeared from bottom to top.

"not good!"

Li Yan quickly packed up the treasure money on the ground and said, "This place is supported by the spiritual power of the pearl. The pearl has been destroyed. This place can't hold out for much longer. Let's leave quickly!"

The treasures of the Donghu Patriarch included not only the pile of lucky money but also several iron boxes. However, Li Yan had no time to investigate. He tore open the Donghu Patriarch's skin and packed all the things.

Lu San also cut off the liver of the Donghu ancestor and put it into a leather bag.

Li Yan looked around and took out the compass.

Sure enough, the compass has returned to normal.

After seeing the direction clearly, Li Yan said directly: "Senior Tuo, there is a waterway to the east of the underground river that leads to the mountain of Xianshan."

"You take them with you, and I'll lead the way!"

"Roar!"

The crocodile master roared, opened his mouth wide, took Lü San, Wu Ba, the little white fox Chuqi, and the two leather bags into his mouth, twisted his body, and jumped into the water.

Li Yan once again used the Mysterious Water Escape Technique, then jumped into the water, lay on the head of the crocodile master, and disappeared into the cave waterway...

Rumble!
Soon after they left, the ruins began to collapse, large pieces of rock fell, and the underground river water surged wildly.

Dense groups of "Jingren" emerged from the ruins, looking at the scene in front of them with panic on their faces, at a loss as to what to do.

"Jingren" live and serve gods.

For thousands of years, they have been attracted to and protected by the Baozhu Cave. Now that the Baozhu has collapsed, they have lost hope.

At this moment, the water in the river suddenly formed a whirlpool.

"Hee hee hee…"

There seemed to be the sound of a woman laughing in the water.

The eyes of the "Jing people" suddenly lit up, they danced and knelt down to the river...
