When it was almost dark, Yin Xiu and his party had arrived at the Tukuo mentioned earlier and began to make preparations and rest before leaving.
Although Yin Xiu said that food is still rich.
But after Ma Xiaoyu and Hai Dongqing counted the things while it was still dark, they were surprised to find that there was not much food left on hand.
Originally everyone brought a lot of things, but after experiencing the attack of the big red snake, plus various twists and turns, they climbed mountains and ridges.
Except for those magical weapons that he carried with him, a lot of others have been consumed.
"If I had known this, I should have hunted a roe deer, made bacon and dried meat out of it, and with a package on my back, we wouldn't have to worry about it for a week."
"Roe deer, is it that big?"
Ma Xiaoyu looked at Hai Dongqing with some confusion.
Hai Dongqing smiled and talked about his experience quite excitedly.
"If it were at other times, of course the roe deer would not have that much meat. If a roe deer is skinned and the bones are removed, there will only be a few kilograms of meat left to eat.
However, in autumn and winter, all wild animals are putting on fat for themselves to survive the winter. At this time, the roe deer eats itself into a round ball, like a ball.
If you encounter this beast in the snow, just run and chase it. When the roe deer sees someone chasing it, instead of running away, it will dig its head into the snowdrift, exposing its butt.
At this time, you only need to walk over gently, gently grab its exposed tail in your hand, and the roe deer will be caught by you, with its four legs flapping, and it will no longer be able to run away. ”
Ma Xiaoyu squinted his eyes to listen to her speech. When he heard something interesting, two pear dimples could not help but sink into his cheeks.
When it was just the two of them getting along, Hai Dongqing's coldness as a hunter disappeared. Instead, people just thought she was the girl next door, talking about some interesting things she experienced today.
After a while, Yin Xiu and the other two people who had been gathering together in the front and chatting without saying a word came back.
Yin Xiu glanced at the blurry night sky and said, "The moon is about to rise."
"Well, the moon tonight must be very bright, maybe it will illuminate this large mountain range." Ma Xiaoyu nodded.
"This is not a good thing."
Liu Banxian touched his chin, "Although the brighter and bigger the moon is, the more convenient it is for us, but if the scouts of the army also see us, it will be troublesome."
Yin Xiu comforted him and said: "Just don't worry, won't I be there to take care of you if anything happens?
And I read that in novels, even in a heavily guarded forbidden palace, don’t the masters often call this strong man or that master to break in and treat it as their own backyard? ”
"You also know that it is a novel?"
Ren Qi glanced at him and said, "If Ouchi really had such convenient access, wouldn't the emperor and the concubines not be able to live a peaceful life for a day?
It is precisely because it is so heavily guarded that no bird can fly in or get out, so some people will be proud of it for the rest of their lives if they can enter it once and treat it as a great talking point. ”
"Ren Qi." Yin Xiu squinted her eyes and looked at him.
Ren Qi was confused by what he saw and felt a chill on his neck. He couldn't help but ask him: "What are you going to say?"
"Don't say anything."
Yin Xiu shook his head and continued to look at him, "I just feel that recently you have been destroying our prestige and raising the ambitions of others. Could it be that you saw that the court was very prestige, regretted it, and wanted to correct your evil ways?"
"Are you crazy?"
Ren Qi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just telling the facts. Are we, the masters in the field, just a bunch of losers? Day by day, the provincial capital is becoming more and more empty." Tiger, the Four Heroes from the North treat the palace as a vegetable market and come and go as they please.”
"Yes, even if you go to a nightclub, the doormen at the door will occasionally check whether you are old enough. That is the Ouchi Palace. How can you let everyone in? Can any cat or dog be a Ouchi guard? You Say yes, Master Brother?”
When Ren Qi heard Liu Banxian's words, his brows knitted together. He looked at Yin Xiu and then at Liu Banxian.
I just felt that if it had been before, even if he didn't draw his sword and kill the two people who had been irritating him, he should at least slam the door and walk out.
However, this is no longer the past. Now he is Longyou Qiantan, and he has learned what it means to endure humiliation and bear the burden.
What does it mean to be in the arena and unable to control yourself?
That's it for now.
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger and nodded heavily, "If you say yes, then it is."
Ma Xiaoyu watched from the side, even her eyes were full of smiles and sparkling.
"It should be almost time, right?"
She finally came out to help Ren Qi out of the siege, "Get ready, it depends on tonight whether it will work or not."
Liu Banxian put the fan back into his pocket and rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to do physical work.
But in fact, he just took out two more grapefruit leaves from his pocket, mixed them with water to moisten them, and wiped them on his hands.
Then he clasped his hands together and recited a spell in a low voice.
After reciting it three times, Liu Banxian finally let go of his hand, picked up the branch placed aside, and drew circles on the ground.
In fact, in Yin Xiu's view, it was not some mysterious pattern or formation, but rather like circles of mosquito coils, from large to small, overlapping according to a certain trajectory and pattern, and finally at a point. Stop.
"Okay, here it is."
Liu Banxian wiped the sweat from his head and wiped his hands on his clothes. Then he spit into his palms and wiped them on his clothes again.
Yin Xiu looked at it but it was fine, but Ma Xiaoyu frowned, looked at Yin Xiu again, suddenly took out a handkerchief, wiped it on his waist, and then threw it aside.
Yin Xiu was confused and just stared at her curiously.
Ma Xiaoyu glared at him and whispered: "If you touch me after shaking hands with Liu Banxian in the future, be careful and I will cut off your hand."
Yin Xiu was speechless and could only nodded silently, and at the same time reached out and wiped the tree trunk.
Liu Banxian on the side was concentrating on making preparations and did not notice the movements of the two people at all.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Banxian arched his body and lifted the branch with all his strength, with the same momentum as Lu Zhishen pulling up a weeping willow, and then thrust it into the ground with a loud shout.
The land that originally seemed to be hard was actually only soft in that area. When Liu Banxian poked it in, red mud gushes out, reaching knee height.
"Is this [blood]?"
Hai Dongqing frowned as he looked at the thin mud that was constantly spraying out. He felt that even if he stabbed someone, the result would be almost the same.
"It's not blood. This is the body fluid that flows out of the earth dragon when it passes through the ground. It is used to maintain the passage."
Liu Banxian smiled and said: "If it were so easy to injure that earth dragon, then that thing would be worse than a roe deer in the mountains. Don't worry, in this matter, except for my uncle, my hand was broken a little, no one else." Injured.”
"Is this good?"
Yin Xiu stepped forward, and the mud that kept spewing out reminded him of the mud monkeys he had encountered in the Infernal World before. They would also secrete mud as they moved, turning the places where their bodies passed into "rivers" of varying depths. .
"Not yet, this is just the beginning."
Liu Banxian wiped his hands and took out a ruler from his pocket. It was the Shanhe Splendid Ruler that returned to his hand before. After Liu Banxian turned the ruler twice in his hand, he made sword gestures with his fingers, and gently stroked the ruler on the mountain and river embroidery. The black and white ruler engraved with the heavenly stems, earthly branches, and seventy-two constellations glowed yellow. The light came, like a torch lighting up everyone's faces.
"The sky and the earth are infinite, the universe borrows the law to find the way!"
Liu Banxian pointed the ruler to the place where the mud spewed out, and the light on the ruler began to turn into tiny light particles, like the glowing scale powder of a butterfly, falling towards that place.
Everyone watched attentively, Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu leaned together, but they just thought the scene was beautiful.
Ren Qi had no expression on his face, while Hai Dongqing was very surprised.
Especially when the person who used this spell was Liu Banxian, he actually had a faint aura of immortality in him at this moment.
After a while, the light on the ruler gradually dimmed and seemed to be extinguished.
"Are you ready?" Ma Xiaoyu said softly.
"It's over..." Liu Banxian squeezed out the words from his mouth.
"That's good."
Yin Xiu stretched himself. Although the scenery was very good, he was still a little tired after watching it for a long time.
"What's good," Liu Banxian was sweating profusely, "I mean, I'm going to die!"
"Then you didn't tell me earlier!"
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu quickly grabbed a piece of talisman paper each, and at the same time stretched out their hands and put them on Liu Banxian's left and right shoulders, transferring their magic power to them.
Liu Banxian was already at the end of his strength, and his face was as white as paper. After feeling two waves of mana pour into his body at the same time, he couldn't help but perked up, and the mountain and river embroidered ruler in his hand began to shine again.
With the addition of Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, Liu Banxian immediately felt extremely relaxed.
In particular, Ma Xiaoyu, the contemporary female Celestial Master of the Ma family, has profound cultivation, and the magic power in her body is as endless as the rivers and lakes, and it seems that there will be no time to dry up.
While she was sending mana to Liu Banxian, she still had enough energy to adjust the speed of Yin Xiu's input, so that the two mana merged into one, turning into warm and refreshing energy, without placing any unnecessary burden on Liu Banxian.
The three of them maintained this posture and formation, supporting the Shanhe Jinxiu Ruler to continue to function. Ren Qize and Hai Dongqing were guarding and vigilant.
After an unknown amount of time, the red mud in the pit seemed to have finally dried up. It no longer flowed out, as if it had been hollowed out by the beautiful ruler of the mountains and rivers.
"Okay!"
Liu Banxian took back his ruler, panted heavily, took the soju from Yin Xiu, and took a sip, which made his face look better.
"This can be regarded as clearing out the underground passage." Liu Banxian said happily.
"You mean, we were just cleaning up the mud under the ground?"
"Of course."
Liu Banxian nodded, "The Mountain and River Splendid Ruler and the Dragon King's Water Control Order are said to be the two magic weapons used by Li Bing, the prefect of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, when he built Dujiangyan.
The ruler is used to measure river courses and calculate areas.
The command flag is used to drive away and suppress dragons and evil spirits in the water.
I just used the Mountain and River Splendid Ruler to clean up the passage below. I originally thought it should be only a few miles long. However, based on the time consumed by this ruler and the inspiration it conveyed, I am afraid that the tunnel under our feet must be a few miles long. It's hundreds of miles long. ”
Ren Qi's expression finally changed, "A hundred miles away? Right under our feet?"
"That's right, it's hundreds of miles under the ground."
Liu Banxian was quite proud, "If it weren't for the three of us with deep and continuous magic power, I'm afraid it would be impossible to complete this passage. If it were another Taoist monk, even a whole sect wouldn't be able to do such a thing." .
This is our mana flowing over hundreds of miles of mountains, rivers and lakes. This is something that only gods can do! ”
"Yes, yes, the three of us are so awesome."
Yin Xiu also wiped the sweat from his head, obviously very tired.
Ma Xiaoyu's face was still rosy, her breathing was even, and she didn't seem to be affected. She was just waiting for Liu Banxian's next plan.
Of course Liu Banxian knew that time was running out, so he took another sip of soju and handed the wine bag back to Yin Xiu.
"Okay, now we can enter the underground, just like we did before entering Wujian."
"Is it that wide? Like Wu Jian?"
Although Ma Xiaoyu also felt that the underground was indeed complicated and the journey was quite long, he did not expect that it would be as exaggerated as Liu Banxian said.
"Of course there is. This is the information read from the Shanhe Splendid Ruler. It cannot be wrong."
Liu Banxian was quite confident and raised the ruler in his hand.
"Read it?"
Yin Xiu looked at the ruler and didn't feel that there was any change on it. It wasn't even stained by soil and there were no traces. How did Liu Banxian read it?
"Of course, otherwise you think I'm making it up?"
Liu Banxian slowly put the ruler back into the white pocket he was carrying, then walked to the place where the hole had been made and stepped on it with his toes.
"Brother Yin, it's right here. Let's fire a palm thunder or just throw a bomb. The movement must be loud enough to resound through the clouds!"
"Resounding through the clouds?"
Yin Xiu was speechless, "Aren't you trying to lure the masters here?"
"Don't worry, have you seen any novels where the masters in the field are reliable at night? You think so, brother master?" Liu Banxian said.
Ren Qi's face was still ugly, but he could only nod his head, unable to argue or argue.
Because the masters of Ouchi are indeed not very smart at night. This is known to everyone. Otherwise, why would those heroes of the world use Ouchi as their amusement park at night?
Since Ren Qidu agreed, Yin Xiu said nothing more, but took out a special thunder and fire talisman and held it in his hand, signaling everyone to move away.
Liu Banxian was the first to walk away, retreating far away.
Ma Xiaoyu also covered her ears and walked to the back.
After everyone retreated a distance, Yin Xiu recited a spell and threw the talisman to the location designated by Liu Banxian just now.
boom!
After a loud noise that resounded through the clouds, a hole that could accommodate one person's passage collapsed at its original location.
"Entrance?"
"Entrance."
Liu Banxian's smile spread across his face, "A portal that leads us to miracles and legends." (End of Chapter)
