Chapter 201 Pagoda
The sun is rising, the desert is vast, and wind and sand are everywhere.
In the basin, the shadow of the pagoda stands tall, emitting thousands of rays of light.
In just a short while, there were already nearly ten figures standing above the basin.
As for being able to communicate between heaven and earth, Feng Xu Yufeng is naturally a master.
This ancient ruin caused an earthquake, which seemed to shake the entire Western Desert and half of Yunzhou. The powerful people nearby were aware of the emergence of the ruins.
The masters and powerful men from the Western Desert and the Western Regions countries were naturally the first to arrive. They were shocked when they saw King Ming and Old Man Heifeng, and they all saluted and stood behind them.
The strong men from the borders of Dali Yanzhou and Yunzhou were not slow to arrive. The Xiguan garrison general arrived first, and then several sects near the border came one after another to investigate.
When the strong men in Dali saw the large number of strong men in the Western Region, they naturally became wary and followed Li Xingtuo's lead.
The strong men from the east and west drew a line in the air and faced each other faintly.
Li Xingtuo looked at the arriving grandmasters and greeted them politely.
The masters were all respectful and respectful to Li Xingtuo.
There is a gulf-like gap, or even several gaps, between the masters on the Feilong Ranking and the ordinary masters;
The same is true for the front and back of the Feilong Ranking.
Li Xingtuo recently proved that his cultivation level is top-notch in sword practice. When ordinary masters see him, they will naturally be very respectful.
However, Li Xingtuo never put on airs and returned the greetings to several masters seriously.
Then he looked at a white-browed monk, and then at the disciples behind him, and said with some confusion:
"Master Kongming, Yanbei is not close to here, you It came too soon! And he was so decisive that he brought all the disciples with him... "I don't think you are a disciple of Jinhe Temple?"
He looked at a young monk behind Master Kongming. This monk's skin was extremely white, his eyes were quiet and clear, and his whole person revealed a sense of ethereal purity. , the monk's robes he wore were also different from those of the monks next to him.
Master Kongming chanted the name of the Buddha and put his palms together:
"Amitabha! Haojiao Sect Master Li learned that this is the eminent monk of the Bodhi Temple of Prajna Temple, Master Huijue. Master Huijue happened to be teaching Dharma at our Jinhe Temple. It was only after Master Huijue reminded me that I knew there was something going on here. If anything happens, come ahead."
Nahuijue lowered his head and twisted his rosary:
"Amitabha! Abbot Kongming is over-reputed. The young monk is just a junior and cannot be called a master. It just happened that the young monk came to ask for advice from Abbot Kongming, and it happened to be a grand event here."
"It's natural to have entered the Bodhi Courtyard. You are a master. Huijue, you are profound in Buddhism, and I have also benefited from it.”
Huijue kept saying that he was ashamed and humble.
"Huijue... Bodhi Courtyard?"
Everyone in the Bodhi Courtyard of Prajna Temple naturally knows that only the great monks with profound Buddhist teachings in Prajna Temple can enter. All of them are eminent monks and great virtues, and giants in the Zen forest.
This Huijue is so young, is he an eminent monk of Bodhi Temple?
Lu Pei listened for a while and was a little surprised when he saw Huijue's age, and subconsciously asked:
"Master Huijue, which eminent monk in Prajna Temple do you study under?"
"Donor Hui Lu, my master is Master Zhiling. This unusual movement in the West Desert was also reminded by my master. I conveyed it to Master Kongming, so I came in advance."
Lu Pei's eyes widened slightly, Several grandmasters around him were also quiet.
"No wonder the master's name sounds familiar. It turns out he is the disciple of Master Zhiling!"
Master Zhiling, abbot of Prajna Temple, great master of martial arts, second on the Tianlong Ranking.
Li Xingtuo suddenly realized:
"It seems that Master Zhiling's clairvoyance and clairvoyance have noticed it, so he asked Master Huijue to come over in advance?"
"Back to Sect Master Li, the young monk didn't know when the master knew about it, but he suddenly summoned him. Let me tell Master Kong Ming to come together, and I really felt the movement of the earth dragon turning over halfway."
Huijue said respectfully.
All the masters looked at each other. Prajna Temple is thousands of miles away from Yanbei, and even thousands of miles away from here. How could Master Zhiling have such magical powers?
Moreover, if Hui Jue really happened to be teaching the Dharma at Jinhe Temple, it would be fine to get some wise reminder in advance;
If Hui Jue went to Jinhe Temple, Zhi Ling had already made arrangements, so...then he would have known that there were ancient ruins here many days or even months in advance?
Although everyone was a grandmaster at that time, they felt that the realm of a great master was unfathomable and his power was as deep as the sea.
The last realm of martial arts and spirituality, the realm of unity of inside and outside, does not combine both internal and external skills. This is too superficial. This step of the three transformations of qi and blood in front of the master realm should be completed.
The unity of inside and outside means the unity of heaven and earth inside and outside, or it is called the unity of heaven and man.
To hone oneself through external training and transformation in martial arts is to seek within;
When the Qi and blood change three times, the physical body reaches its limit and then explores outwards.
The warrior begins to understand the nature of the outside world, understand the principles of all things, connect the twin bridges of nature, and communicate with the world through movement.
Until a clear path reaches the true avenue, the inner and outer circles merge into one, and we embark on the ultimate path of seeking truth, we will reach the great realm of inner and outer unity.
Therefore, the great masters of the Unity Realm have all come into contact with the true principles of heaven. Even if they only glance at it from a distance, they are completely different from the previous realm.
When you reach this state, you have some insights into the world and often have some premonitions before major events, and you can understand it.
It's just that it can be done so far in advance, which is actually beyond everyone's imagination.
In fact, when Li Xingtuo was already outside the Grand Master Realm, he also felt a bit mysterious. On a whim, he and Lu Pei went to the edge of the Western Desert, waiting to see what would happen. Sure enough, something big like this happened.
I would like to think that King Ming was in the center of the Western Region and came so quickly, it was the same.
A number of strong masters came from both sides of Dali in the Western Region. Both sides respected King Ming and Li Xingtuo. After the confrontation, they found that their strength was evenly matched. They couldn't tell the difference between them, so there was peace for a while. .
But the ancient ruins are placed below, and the entrance is neither big nor small. Obviously, there are so many powerful people on both sides that cannot be entered——
Even if you can get in, one more person is too much in a place like this.
The tall and fat King Ming glanced at the phantom of the pagoda for a few times, his eyes flashed, and he laughed and said:
"The entrance to Amitayus Buddha seems a little unstable, but this ruin is quite extraordinary. , it will be opened in three days at most."
Li Xingtuo stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at King Ming who took the initiative to speak, and said calmly:
"What did King Ming want to say?"
"Sect Leader Li, you have also seen that this ruins looks like a pagoda on the outside. It is obviously our Buddhist ruins, and it is in the Western Desert, not within your territory. In my opinion, you should retreat and don't start any disputes. ”
King Ming smiled peacefully and put his palms together.
Seeing him like this, Li Xingtuo raised his eyebrows and said:
"King Ming, what does this have to do with Buddhism or not? Could it be that only Buddhist disciples can enter the Buddhist ruins?"< br>
"Naturally, the pagoda is filled with thousands of rays of light. Those without Buddha nature will only get lost in it and fall forever. I advise Sect Master Li not to make mistakes."
Prince Ming said with a serious face.
Li Xingtuo laughed and said:
“Then today Li will believe in Buddhism, become a temporary disciple, and call him Amitabha, that’s all right.”
"Ahem..."
Master Kongming behind him coughed twice, and then Li Xingtuo realized that his allies behind him were also Buddhists.
"Master Kongming, I made a mistake. It was just a joke, don't take it seriously."
He turned around and hugged his fists to express his apology, and then said:
"Master Ming, When you, a disciple of the Great Vajra Temple, traveled across the Western Regions, you were not a Buddhist relic, and you did not see any courtesy from your disciples. Besides, we have eminent monks from Jinhe Temple and Prajna Temple who are also disciples of Buddhism. Son, Prajna Temple is a Zen sect in the world, and Jinhe Temple is a famous Buddhist temple, not much higher than your Dajingang Temple? They just agree, why do you need to comment?"
King Ming sighed:
"Sect Master Li, why are you so stubborn? If there is a big battle, casualties are inevitable. Can Master Li bear to see your disciples and friends wailing in front of this King Ming's Dharma?"
There was a hint of threat in his words.
"Just give it a try. Needless to say, including the disciples of my sect, I must not enter this ruins."
Li Xingtuo was unafraid and determined.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, King Ming frowned slightly.
When it comes to strength and status, he is one of the top people in the Western Region, and at least not long ago, he had steadily surpassed Li Xingtuo.
But this year, Li Xingtuo's rumors broke through, and he proved his strength in a sword debate. Now that we meet again, he has indeed become more worthy of himself. The test of one palm and one sword when he first came has let him know that his opponent is also at the same level, which makes him Don't dare to act rashly.
Nowadays, Li Xingtuo's attitude is also extremely tough. He really wants to enter and fight if he doesn't, but King Ming is not sure of his decision for a while.
He pondered for a moment and sighed:
"My Buddha is compassionate. Since Sect Master Li cares about his disciples and is so persistent, there is nothing wrong with letting you in."
Li Xingtuo smiled slightly and said:
"What a compassionate and compassionate King Ming."
King Ming was unaware and just clasped his hands and lowered his eyebrows:
"But since no one will give in, how to explore must be decided first. This is a rule. "
If one party cannot monopolize the ruins, and several companies are evenly matched, it will often happen that everyone reaches an agreement.
In the early stages of exploration, everyone followed the rules to avoid too much loss from fighting before seeing the benefits;
But at the end of the day, when it comes to seizing the treasure, it depends on each person's ability whether they follow the rules or not.
Li Xingtuo knew the rules and had already expected this result. He just asked calmly:
"What rules is King Ming going to make?"
"Let Donor Lu do it first? Let’s talk about what this ruin is like.”
Ming Wang made a move, Lu Laosan came forward, saluted him, and said in a muffled voice:
"King Ming, I came here by chance many years ago, and there happened to be a sandstorm. I have never seen such a violent sandstorm, which can almost blow people away. The sand is like a wall of earth. My companions are all dead... I am the only one." Fortunately, I survived, and then I saw the ruins of a city, and the entrance to the temple in the middle was the ruins.
"I entered the ruins, and there was a pagoda inside, just like this shadow. Up to the seventh floor. When I came here before, only the first three floors were accessible. I couldn't go up any higher, and I didn't dare to go up, because there were many mechanisms on the first three floors, which were very dangerous. I almost died on the third floor. However, there were indeed some treasures inside. I gained something, so I withdrew and my strength improved somewhat. ”
Lu Laosan spoke in a very cryptic and vague manner.
But everyone who knows him knows that his strength has improved somewhat, and he is an ordinary little boss who has directly emerged from the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm. , became a master in one fell swoop.
King Ming waved him off and said to Li Xingtuo:
"Sect Master Li, do you think I am doing justice?"
In fact, apart from telling how he got in and that this was a pagoda that everyone could see, Lu Laosan basically didn't do anything else. Without information, words are said in vain.
But Li Xingtuo naturally knew that it was impossible for Lu Laosan to tell them all the message, and he might not even finish it to King Ming; and they were mumbling at the beginning, and even if they said it, he would not dare to tell them. Full letter.
He said calmly:
"King Ming, please continue."
King Ming smiled warmly and said:
"This ruins is open in different levels. This time, only the first three floors should be opened, involving the master and below. After the fourth floor, it will be the grandmaster realm. I guess There are probably a few days left.
"Why don't we each let the disciples explore and experience first, and when they come out, we can go in and take a closer look at what's up there. Outside, everyone regards harmony as the most important thing. As for inside, of course, harmony is the best. "
If there is really a treasure inside, harmony will naturally be impossible. At that time, everyone will have to look at fate and their own abilities.
Li Xingtuo discussed with the masters around him for a while, and he was slightly embarrassed. Hesitation.
This rule seems very ordinary. It is basically the standard procedure for ruin exploration, so there is no problem.
But the key point is that Lu Laosan on their side has entered in advance and holds the guide in his hand, but on their side, his eyes are dark and there is not much.
It is said that the disciples will go in according to their abilities, but the other side has the upper hand. If there is a fight inside, the advantage will be too great.
But if the disciples are not allowed to enter and the young strong men from the Western Region are allowed to explore the ruins and reap the benefits without any hindrance, I am afraid that after they come out, there will be a few more evil masters like Lu Laosan and even Old Man Heifeng. It’s not even certain that a few Ming Kings will emerge after many years.
The struggle for the Central Plains and the Western Regions, whether it is family, country or rivers and lakes, has lasted for thousands of years, and everyone is unwilling to do so.
Prince Ming did not press them for a reply, he just smiled compassionately.
This is a conspiracy. Either let their disciples get opportunities easily, which is natural; or let those outstanding Central Plains disciples come in and die, which is also good.
No matter how you choose, the Western Region will definitely win this time. This is a win-win situation.
On Dali's side, several leading masters discussed for a while and reached a consensus.
Li Xingtuo said firmly:
"I will send my disciples into the secret realm.
"Firstly, there are disciples in our sect who are trapped in it and must be found;
"Secondly, the ancient ruins are dangers and opportunities. If we can get through them, it will be very important to our disciples." It's a great exercise, Not to be abandoned lightly;
“The desire to encroach on the Central Plains in the Western Regions has never died for the past three years. In recent years, there have been signs of resurgence. Many young and strong men have emerged in the Western Regions. If we can easily obtain replenishment of ancient relics, wouldn’t it be great? Waiting for them to gain momentum? Therefore, I, the Yunshan Sword Sect, will not stand idly by this time. ”
Master Kongming put his palms together:
"Amitabha, this ruins is related to Buddhism, and it has received the decree of Master Zhiling, so I have brought my disciples here."
"Master Huijue will also go in?"
A master asked .
The fair and delicate Huijue lowered her eyebrows and folded her hands together:
"The young monk will go with several senior brothers."
Others are sure that although Hui Jue's cultivation is only in the second stage of Qi and Blood transformation, as a disciple of Master Zhi Ling and a rare young eminent monk in Bodhi Temple, his attainments in Buddhist skills are extremely high, probably no worse than those in the third stage of transformation.
"Sect Master Li, which senior disciple will you send in?"
Another grandmaster asked.
Li Xingtuo said calmly:
"I have summoned my eldest disciple Qin Zhenyang and asked him to come find his junior brothers and sisters."
The ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, Qin Zhenyang shows off his skills in the two sects of sword theory!
The masters looked at each other, feeling completely relieved.
With Qin Zhenyang and Hui Jue leading the team, the young disciples in Dali should be safe.
So other masters expressed their opinions that they would still send their disciples in.
"Sect Master Li is right! Although this ruin is very dangerous, it is also full of opportunities. If you keep your disciples at home, you will never be able to achieve martial arts success."
"Let people from the Western Regions pick up treasures for free. I am the first to disagree. I will also call my apprentice here."
"The other side, Lu Laosan, has experience..."
"What are you afraid of? ? With the leadership of the ninth master of the Qianlong List and the young master of Bodhi Academy, no one is afraid!"
When Huijue heard this, he quickly looked humble and praised him.
Seeing that the discussion was complete, King Ming smiled and said:
"Since the comrades in Dali have agreed, let's make an agreement -
"When the first three floors of the pagoda are opened, we will send young people to go in and experience it, one person from each family. After entering, each of them will How about looking for opportunities based on your ability? "
Li Xingtuo said on behalf of everyone that it was meaningless:
"Just do what King Ming said. "
King Ming smiled, the fat on his body was trembling:
"Second Master Li is indeed very generous. He is willing to send so many heroes from the Central Plains to die. I accept it with a smile."
Li Xingtuo just looked at him indifferently and was too lazy to argue with him. He was standing aside with Lu Pei and other masters. Recuperate.
From time to time, new grandmasters join from time to time on the horizon, or join up with both sides.
It is rare for Dali and the Western Regions to have so many grandmasters gather in such a small place, but they maintain peace strangely, and they are all quietly waiting for the ruins to be opened.
Two days later.
All the masters who were recuperating opened their eyes at the same time and looked at the shadow of the pagoda that was getting brighter and brighter.
The pagoda body sways slightly, trembling like water waves, emitting circles of colorful light.
The large pit in the center of the basin, which was like the mouth of an abyss, suddenly erupted with huge suction force and set off a strong wind. All the surrounding sand was sucked into it, and the entire basin seemed to be one level lower.
The masters stood in the air, feeling the strong wind blowing and their clothes rustling.
King Ming laughed like a bell:
"It looks like it's about to begin. Everyone, are you ready?"
A tall monk with a height of two feet behind him bowed slightly:
"Teacher, this disciple is in good condition and can always serve. The master eliminates demons.”
This monk has a ferocious face, like a yaksha, with shiny black skin, and an unusually tall and muscular body. He only wears a pair of shorts, revealing his strong and muscular muscles. He looks full of power. He is not so much a monk. More like Lux.
His blood energy was raging like a muscle, and he couldn't hold it back. He had obviously reached the limit of his limits. With his ferocious appearance and body shape, he was just like the Vajra Yaksha in Buddhism.
Prince Ming was very satisfied with his disciple's condition and nodded.
Old Black Wind also recruited his disciples and said in a sharp voice:
"After you go in, explore the road and check the situation more. Just save your life. Come out and report to me. You will be greatly rewarded when you go back. , did you hear that?”
“Yes, Master.”
The disciple replied respectfully.
Although he was only in the Second Transformation Realm, to be able to survive for such a long time under the hands of the moody Black Wind Old Man seemed to be no ordinary person.
Lu Laosan pulled his son and whispered:
"Tianyong, remember what I told you, go up to the third floor as quickly as possible...
“If the fourth floor opens, you absolutely cannot go, it’s too dangerous!
"Also, I always feel that this bastard like Xie Yuan has disappeared inexplicably, and maybe he will sneak in. If you encounter him, be sure to catch him!"
"Don't worry, father, I know."
Lu Tianyong, with a rough face, said harshly. He couldn't swallow the breath of being tricked by a Qi-Blood Realm Transformer.
As for the other masters in the Western Region, they each sent their disciples here, all of them with powerful auras, most of whom were in the Second Transformation Realm.
On the Dali side, Qin Zhenyang had a calm temperament and took the lead; Hui Jue had a calm face and followed closely beside him.
On the left of Qin Zhenyang, there is a beautiful woman with a ponytail, tall figure, holding a spear upside down, and a heroic appearance. Her eyebrows are thicker than those of other women, but they look just right on her heroic face. She is so beautiful that the young disciples on both sides can't help but take a few more glances, but under her expectant and sharp gaze, Ashamed of oneself.
This woman is extremely tall, slightly taller than Qin Zhenyang next to her.
But she looked at Qin Zhenyang with reverence and shouted:
"Senior Brother Qin, long time no see!"
"Miss Yuan, long time no see. Solid. It’s not far from here, can you rest well?”
Qin Zhenyang said politely.
"Gee, I heard that there are ruins that can be adventured, how can I sleep?"
This woman is Yuan Zhenying, a descendant of the Yuan family in Gubei, one of the eight aristocratic families.
The Yuan family in Gubei has a good relationship with the Yunshan Sword Sect. The two families have always had contacts, and their disciples often communicate with each other. Qin Zhenyang is quite familiar with Yuan Zhenying.
Although Yuan Zhenying is only in the Second Transformation Realm, her talent is second to none among the children of the Yuan family in Gubei. Her brothers of the same generation complained endlessly when she was beaten as a daughter, and their expressions changed when they heard about it. She has been the female general of the Yuan family since she was a child.
Coupled with Gu Bei Yuan's background, Yuan Zhenying's strength should not be underestimated. Among the several Dali Grandmasters and their disciples who came in the past two days, she is the strongest.
The young heroes from Dali lined up one after another and faced off against the heroes of the Western Regions.
Two days were rushed, but many geniuses gathered.
“Dear comrades, the people in the Western Regions are evil, and Lu Laosan has investigated in advance and has the information, so it is not easy to deal with them.
“So after we go in, we hope that all our colleagues will share the same hatred and help each other. , eliminate the enemy first, and then discuss the treasure hunting and distribution matters. Don't lose the big for the small. ”
Qin Zhenyang looked at the heroes behind him and said in a deep voice.
“Amitabha, the young monk, Brother Qin, is paying close attention.”
Hui Jue said politely.
Everyone saw that Hui Jue, who had the highest status, was so humble and polite, and the descendants of the Yuan family in Gubei also stood firmly beside Qin Zhenyang. He himself had become famous recently and ranked high, so he naturally agreed with a bang. , all those who follow.
Over there in the Western Region, the tall black monk’s voice was like thunder:
"You all know Grandmaster Lu's experience. After entering, kill the people from the Central Plains first, and then each will rely on his or her own abilities. If anyone makes trouble first, I will kill you first."
The heroes of the Western Regions looked at each other, Due to the evil reputation of Black Vajra Lotto, no one objected. Except for a few people who responded, no one said a word.
Different from Dali, no matter which family they come from, they are all from Dali;
Although the Western Region is often referred to collectively, there are many countries, large and small, and they are not necessarily the same as each other. People all the way.
Otherwise, with the combined land and population of the Western Regions being more vast and fertile than the Central Plains, we would not have never really drank from the Yangtze River for thousands of years.
Luo Tuo didn't care, he just wanted to explain clearly. Anyway, he will take on the most important task.
Everyone has Lu Laosan's strategy in hand. They are playing at home, which naturally gives them an advantage over the Dali people.
The ruins are very strange. The people of Dali underestimated the danger of the ruins, and they will definitely pay the price.
This time, according to King Ming's instructions, treasures or not are secondary. All the seedlings of these Dali warriors must be killed!
As the light of the pagoda shimmered more and more fiercely, the entire shadow rippled like the reflection of a river thrown into stones, and the waves rippled faster and faster.
Until they were almost unable to see clearly, suddenly everyone's hearts moved, and they saw the shadow of the pagoda suddenly solidifying. Although it was still a projection, it looked like a real high tower.
The large pit at its base also rotates slowly like a wonderful halo whirlpool, with sparkling waves inside, as if there are countless galaxies.
At this time, the ruins are truly opened.
The young disciples on both sides were clearly differentiated, and each had their own half of the entrance. Under the guidance of the grandmaster, their hearts skipped a beat and they jumped into the pit one after another!
The masters watched the young geniuses enter the ruins like dumplings, wondering how many of them would be able to come back.
Especially this time, the people from the Western Regions came well prepared and had a huge advantage.
What they are targeting is Dali Yingcai, and there is bound to be a bloody storm inside, just like every time a treasure hunt occurs in a ruins.
But the masters also walked all the way, and after many moments of life and death, they finally stood in the sky and looked down.
How to grow into a true martial arts master without experiencing countless fights and dangers?
……
Xie Yuan suddenly sat up from the ground.
“Bah, bah, bah.”
He subconsciously spat out a mouth full of sand, but was suddenly stunned.
No sand? Not on you either?
A bit strange...
He quickly looked up and found that he was not in a deep pit or a pile of sand, nor was he buried in the sand. There was not even a grain of sand around him, but he was in a vast indoor space.
This place looks like a large circular square. The dome is several stories high and cannot be seen clearly;
There are several rows of huge stone pillars around it, supporting the sky and the ground, extending to the wall. There is a row of rooms faintly against the wall, surrounding the entire square. Because they are too far away, Xie Yuan's vision seems not as good as outside, so he can't see clearly.
Here...
Xie Yuan stood up, looked around carefully, and frowned.
It looks like the inner space of the pagoda?
Like the first floor of the tower, the circular square can accommodate thousands of people, and the number of rooms attached to the wall is countless...
However, this space, The area doesn't match what it looks like at all, right?
When you are outside, although the pagoda is towering, the area of each floor is not too large, and the height of each floor is not too high;
However, looking at the area here, I don’t know how to compare with that. Not to mention how much bigger the shadow is, the height of the first floor alone is as high as the waist of the pagoda!
Is this what the Buddhists call "Xumi mustard seeds, mustard seeds Xumi"?
Xie Yuanruo realized, is this the strangeness of the ruins?
He carefully looked around again, but it was quiet here, with no movement at all, as if he was the only one.
"Where are Lin Zhen and the others? We fell in together, why can't we see anyone now?"
Xie Yuan is very close to the center of the square, and he can see everything when he looks around After reaching most of the scenery on the first floor, I saw no one.
Lost?
He was very wary of this mysterious ruins, and he did not dare to shout in the silent space.
Slowly moving away from the center, Xie Yuan was going to explore the surroundings first to see if he could find his companions.
He took two steps and when passing the first pillar, he observed the simple lines on it.
There were Buddha statues and Arhats painted on it, which seemed to tell stories from ancient Buddhist scriptures. Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously at first. After walking around, he took his head back, but suddenly froze.
He turned his head back again, his eyes widening.
Behind this stone pillar, there is actually a person embedded in it, with half of his body stretched out and half in, like a sculpture welded to the pillar!
Xie Yuan took a closer look and found that this person turned out to be a horse bandit under Lu Laosan. His eyes were wide open and his face was still frozen with horror.
This...
Xie Yuan frowned when he saw that this man was motionless and breathless, but his body was still and his hand was still stretched forward without falling.
There was no breath, but he felt alive...
Xie Yuan watched this strange scene for a while, frowned, and slowly walked away again.
After passing a few pillars, Xie Yuan saw the same scene again. A horse bandit looked like a mushroom growing from the gap between the stone pillars and the ground. He stretched out his head and hands, looking up, with his mouth wide open. Mouth.
“What the hell.”
Xie Yuan frowned even more tightly and continued to explore the side.
Along the way, he saw more horse bandits, all of them "growing" on the ground or on the wall. He gradually became accustomed to it and thought thoughtfully:
"They all slipped in with me. Why? I didn't become like this? Is it just luck? Or something?"
He didn't think of an answer, but he felt faintly worried and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
As he approached the room next to the wall, Xie Yuan was about to choose one to go in and investigate, when suddenly his expression condensed and his mood became tense.
He saw an acquaintance growing on the wall of the house.
This is so, the worries have come true...
Xie Yuan walked over quickly and called in a low voice:
"Miss Lin...Senior Sister Lin, Lin Zhen!"
However, Lin Zhen didn't respond at all, like a lifeless stone sculpture, with the front half of his body exposed outside the wall and the back half stuck in the wall.
Xie Yuan was a little anxious, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Zhen's hand, and started to pull her tentatively with the minimum strength. However, no matter how he pulled, Lin Zhen remained motionless, as if she was naturally a part of the stone house, and as if she was being trapped. The stone house or this pagoda is swallowed up, which is extremely weird.
"Not dead, but not alive either... It seems to be fixed in a certain state."
Xie Yuan frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred.
Whether it was Lin Zhen or the horse bandits on the road, their expressions and postures, breath and life seemed to have stopped at the moment they fell into the pit.
It's like...their time stopped at that moment?
Xie Yuan raised his head suddenly, then turned around and looked around the pagoda.
The air here doesn't seem to flow at all, it's completely fixed.
Time in this pagoda is suspended at this moment?
Only you can move?
Xie Yuan suddenly entered a scene that he would have imagined at certain moments in his previous life. Looking at Lin Zhen, who had a good appearance and was stuck on the wall... he had no idea at all, he just felt weird.
How could this be?
What's special about you?
Xie Yuan had an idea. Apart from the most secret panel, there was only...
He wiped the sleeve of his left hand, and sure enough he saw the two tattoo-like black lotus lines. There is a dim light flowing.
"It's the Bagua Lotus... There's also the Black Sky Book here? No, there doesn't seem to be that feverish feeling..."
Xie Yuan fell into deep thought, looked at the petals of the Black Lotus, and then looked around. , I found that this space felt inexplicably unreal.
He felt as if he was in the illusory space when he comprehended the Black Sky Book, but the space in this tower was also somewhat similar, as if it was half illusion and half reality.
Xie Yuan had some enlightenment:
“Do these ruins and strange spaces have something in common? I am not in the real world, so I have the attribute of being between reality and reality. Lian protected himself and was exempted, but others were not so lucky."
He figured out the truth, but his frown deepened.
This is obviously a ruins. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t rely on luck when entering... Is it because it hasn’t been opened yet?
Xie Yuan suddenly realized that the ruins had not yet been fully opened at this time. Because they were blown up by one of his own thunderbolts, they were in an unopened state. After outsiders entered it by mistake, they also became half-dead and half-alive. In addition to Own.
After finally sorting things out, he quickly thought about how to rescue Lin Zhen and others?
If they still look like this when the ruins are opened...it's a bit scary to think about it.
I don’t know when this ruins will be opened, it could happen at any time.
Xie Yuan had a sense of urgency and quickly thought of countermeasures:
"Try Bagua Lotus?"
He sacrificed two lotus petals. After mastering the complete Bagua Lotus, he already had this ability.
Putting two lotus petals close to Lin Zhen, or even placing them directly on her body, waited for a moment, but it had no effect.
Xie Yuan frowned slightly again, no use?
Isn’t it because of Bagualian?
No, definitely.
Perhaps it is because she is unable to integrate the lotus petals into her body at this moment. It is only superficial and has no real effect.
What to do? This is a bit tricky.
Xie Yuan's expression was serious and he began to think quickly.
Maybe...
An idea suddenly came to him.
Use Tianyin Technique!
The Heavenly Hidden Technique has the function of "shielding the secrets of the sky and changing luck." His small-scale Tianyin Technique can already initially intercept part of other people's luck and perfectly disguise themselves as other people, such as Zhang Shan.
If you are unlucky and assimilate the fact that you are protected by the Bagua Lotus to Lin Zhen, is that okay?
Xie Yuan nodded, just try it like this!
He immediately held Lin Zhen's hand and used Tianyin Technique to connect the two.
Xiaocheng's Tianyin Technique is not very accurate yet, and Xie Yuan does not dare to directly transfer all his luck, fearing that he will become petrified in an instant, so he can only perform delicate surgery like a delicate operation. , transforming Lin Zhen's slight luck into his own.
When it comes to such mysterious and mysterious things, we can only give a brief analogy. It is not easy to understand when talking about it, and it is even more troublesome to do it.
Xie Yuan spent a lot of effort, almost sweating on his forehead, and finally his heart moved and he declared success.
The next moment, Lin Zhen seemed to be pulled out of the quagmire, and his whole body was slowly exposed from the wall of the stone house, and was lowered to the ground by Xie Yuan.
The stone wall swayed like water waves, then returned to its original shape. Xie Yuan touched it subconsciously and found that it had returned to the hardness of a stone.
The world between the cracks is really strange.
Xie Yuan knelt down and looked at Lin Zhen, and found that she was like an activated statue, a little angry.
However, no matter how she shook, she still didn't wake up, as if she missed the finishing touch.
“It’s probably not time yet, we still have to wait for the ruins to open.”
Xie Yuan stood up thoughtfully.
He looked at it, opened the door of the stone house next to it, and carefully explored it, but even if it was a mechanism, it was probably in a frozen state, and nothing happened.
This stone house is like an alchemy room. There are many medicinal pills placed on the shelves.
Xie Yuan entered and looked around, and saw many rare medicinal materials, many of which he could not even recognize.
But if it is said to be some kind of magic elixir, it cannot be said.
Seeing that the room was quite safe, Xie Yuan took Lin Zhen in and put it aside, and then quickly went to find other classmates.
Walking around the first floor, Xie Yuan saw various horse bandits one after another, and successfully found Lin Cheng and others. He repeated his old tricks and pulled them out of the stone. Come out and throw them one by one into Lin Zhenzai's room.
Seeing the four people lying side by side, Xie Yuan clapped his hands:
"You are safe now."
He looked outside and found that it was still quiet. Then his eyes flashed slightly.
You can explore this place.
I am just like a closed beta player before the game was launched. If I have this opportunity, why don’t I try my best?
Xie Yuan had just quickly circled around the first floor and figured out the structure here.
The central square, surrounding stone pillars, and a circle of houses on the side.
Some of the houses are study rooms, living rooms, practice rooms, alchemy rooms, etc. They are fully equipped and large in scale, like a large sect.
But on this level, Xie Yuan didn't see anything particularly precious.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuan walked to a corner room and opened the door, only to find an upward staircase.
If he hadn't basically walked around when looking for someone, he might not have been able to find the upward passage.
Looking up at the dark place, he stepped onto the stairs. Not long after walking up, he arrived at a room on the second floor.
After opening the door, Xie Yuan looked at the scene outside and pondered slightly.
It feels similar to the first floor, slightly smaller. In addition to the stone pillars, there are also some practice dummies in the middle.
He walked around the surrounding rooms again and saw that there were many more things related to martial arts on this floor.
The medicinal materials in the armory, the Sutra Pavilion, and the alchemy room are also better. Many of them are top-quality medicinal materials for external practitioners——
For example, the Blood Dragon Pill is actually the best medicine here. Bottled ones, there are many bottles in an alchemy room.
"Outer training layer..."
Xie Yuan already had some guesses about this place. After finding the way up, he came to the third floor.
As he expected, the third floor was smaller, and the furnishings were the same as those on the first two floors.
But the dummy in the middle looks a lot more powerful.
On this floor, Xie Yuan found a lot of elixirs that made him jealous in the room next to him, and there were even more weapons in the arsenal, as good as the knives given by forest members.
However, Xie Yuan could not take it away.
These elixirs and sharp tools could be looked at and even played with in his hands, but when he left the door, the objects disappeared like shadows and reappeared in the room.
The Sutra Pavilion and Study Room are even more bizarre. The bookshelves covered with them are all as blank as a wordless heavenly book.
“I don’t know if it’s just like this, or it will become real after it is opened.”
Xie Yuan shook his head, looked at the stairs going up, and fell into deep thought.
This layer is the transformation layer of Qi and blood, so it is self-evident where it is above.
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed and he stepped onto the stairs to the upper level.
