Chapter 332 What’s in the Bag
This was the first time the quarrel broke out.
The two masters and apprentices were at each other's throats, and every time they met alone, they broke up unhappy with each other's determination to not give in.
Meng Li continued to push forward his ideas. He vented his anger by soaking in the library day and night, rummaging through the cave over and over again, vowing to find out its true appearance and find a way to unravel the fate of his master.
But the deeper he understood and the longer he studied the formation, the more the despair brought about by this ancient formation weighed heavily on his heart.
Such an almost indecipherable thing. Master said that it was guarding things in the Immortal Courtyard, and Meng Li completely believed it now.
He remembered that "the winter solstice falls on Ding and the summer solstice falls on Gui" and thought that the starworm was slowly swimming like an annual ring, but he could not find any trace of it at the place he calculated, and it suddenly appeared unexpectedly. It was chaos.
He also crossed the back door of the hall without saying a word in front of his master, but all he saw was the snowy cliffs, and there was no way to enter the tomb hall.
Qu Zhoufu did not rush to talk to Yang Yan, but spent these days quietly. Meng Li gradually began to feel that the old man was worried about other things.
After realizing this, he was a little stunned in disbelief. The ancient formation that was destined to strangle Jianmen's throat was right in front of him. Did the old man have any other more important things to worry about?
On the night when Meng Li was about to turn twenty, in response to the young man's question, the old man sat in front of the temple and looked quietly at the night sky, and whispered: "He is coming back."
".who?"
"Didn't you already know him?" Qu Zhoufu chuckled, "Didn't you feel that you were very similar to him in that sealed cave?"
".who is he?"
Qu Zhoufu's face slowly fell, and his voice was hoarse: "The traitor."
He looked at the sky: "Xiao Meng, you said you don't want to bear this fate, but have you ever thought about the consequences if the things guarded by Hushan Sword Gate are discovered by outsiders?"
The old man looked at him with sharp eyes, like ice against his warm heart, and Meng Li's chest suddenly tightened.
The body froze in place.
If the ancient secret guarded by such a strange array, the trigger of the so-called "immortal court coming to the world", is leaked, who will be coveting it?
Meng Li goes out often, he has seen the world.
He never doubted that one day he would reach a high enough position to lift the Hushan Sword Sect high. But he also knew that to many people, the current Hushan Sword Sect was just an ant that could be pressed to death with one finger. grasshopper.
"In fact, it has been invisible for thousands of years." The old man did not go on. He looked at the cliff and seemed to see the huge bronze body inside, "That is, starting from your ancestor's generation. , its need for Qi suddenly became so obvious that it was noticed immediately.”
"Who?" Meng Li felt his throat was dry, "Who knows our secret now?"
"Huansilou." Qu Zhoufu said softly, "He sold the news to Huansilou."
Stifling silence.
Pei Ye didn't need to check in detail to know that Meng Li had heard of this name. At this time, the man's body had become stiff.
But in the next moment, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he looked at the old man.
——The evil ancient formation suddenly no longer seemed abominable. Meng Li was extremely grateful for the power of this formation.
"There is a way, Master." Meng Li's voice was slightly hoarse, "You have the method to awaken the star bugs, right?"
Of course it should be right.
No matter who set up this ancient formation, it should have the ability to protect the destined thing. And no matter how precious that thing is, this formation should have the relative strength of the person.
And the entire Hushan Sword Gate is formed into one by this star-holding formation, so it should have the ability to fight against foreign enemies.
Meng Li looked at the old man expectantly, while Qu Zhoufu was silent, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. It seemed like helplessness and bitterness, but also like nostalgia. Meng Li even felt a hint of pride.
"Have you not been looking for this formation?" Qu Zhoufu stood up, lowered his head and sighed, "Then I will show you."
"."
The master and apprentice unlocked the door at the back and walked out.
The two figures were submerged in the gray mist, and 'Yang Yan''s body once again stopped in front of the surging mist.
Pei Ye gently raised his hand to press the mist and closed his eyes. Meng Li's bright figure was outlined in his mind. When he opened his eyes, he was separated from Yang Yan and stood on a gray narrow mountain road. superior.
His body became stronger than ever and he grew much taller. He now knows this senior brother, but he is still far from being able to control his body.
Now he began to receive the man's vision.
Behind you is the back door of the main hall, and in front of you is a high cliff of nearly twenty feet, looking down like a high wave pouring down.
Meng Li really tried to climb up, but when he reached the top, there was nothing. He just looked back at the lake and the mountain, which looked more and more like an enclosed cage.
The old man in front of him did not lead him up, but staggered to the house-like rock, stretched out his hand, and the bronze protruded from the palm like a small snake.
The body stared at this scene stiffly. The cold metal broke through the flesh and blood, stained with fine blood and penetrated into the rock. After a moment of silence, there was a suffocating movement in the mountain.
It was as if a twenty-foot-tall giant beast was awakening in front of him. In fact, there was not much sound, but Pei Ye could clearly feel the giant chrysalis movement inside.
In just a few breaths, Qu Zhoufu's outstretched copper contact seemed to have received something. The rock split open, and a bronze passage opened in front of the two of them.
"If you become the leader, this will be implanted in your Dantian." Qu Zhoufu withdrew the copper touch in his palm and smiled softly.
But Meng Li obviously didn't have the time to answer the conversation. The body stepped stiffly onto the bronze ground, which was the abdominal cavity of the star worm.
It turns out that there is no entrance to the tomb hall at all, and people can only enter here relying on the guidance of star insects.
The shock brought by such a magnificent scene is indescribable. Thousands of years ago, unknown people used unimaginable power to cast such majestic and precise bronze creations. At the end of this abdominal passage, it can be seen that I could vaguely see the palace that was as tall and spacious as the Kingdom of God.
Simple, dignified, mysterious, silent. The ancient atmosphere that has been here for thousands of years. Bronze insect bodies as tall as the sky are climbing on the wall and swarming towards the center. Just a glimpse inside the tube makes people suffocate and tremble.
Yes, it has protected this palace for countless days and nights, from ancient times to the present. As long as the Hushan Sword Sect hides here, the Huansi Tower will not be able to take away the secret treasure, nor will it be able to harm anyone.
Isn’t this what the Hushan Sword Sect has sacrificed for thousands of years?
Pei Ye could almost see the man's thoughts at this moment, without the old man having to waste any words. After arriving here, he stood with his master for the first time.
And then they really came to an end.
Pei Ye looked up and felt everything fell into silence, and the body stagnated in an instant.
It is indeed a miraculous palace, more than ten feet high, as long as an arrow's length, and as wide as thirty horses can run in total.
It is undoubtedly a pilgrimage road. On the dome of this road, winding insect bodies are entangled and entangled, and the figures below are like ants.
but now.
"We couldn't get in here originally." Qu Zhoufu said softly, stepping gently into the palace, his footsteps echoing in the dead silence, "but twenty-seven years ago, there was someone who experienced the same anger and pain as you. And later in despair, he ended it all.”
The old man's hoarse voice was a kind of calm indifference. Pei Ye looked at everything in front of him silently. The body of the star insect was gray and brittle one by one, like dry mud. He noticed the entry of outsiders, It struggled to twist its body, but it couldn't leave the dome.
Rust spreads like moss in this hall, and all solemnity loses its mystery, revealing a dark and ordinary appearance.
Only at the end of the center, some bronzes still maintain a mysterious dark light. Among them, a white jade pendant like an eye floats there, as if waiting for its owner.
"He has no way to get it for the time being, so he said to store it here first." Qu Zhoufu said softly, "This is the result after what you want to do is done. Thousands of years of ancient legends are in the bag. It’s just a thing.”
After an unbearable silence, Meng Li finally squeezed out hoarse words from his throat: "Then, why are you still..."
"Why continue to feed it?" Qu Zhoufu said, "Because it is slowly repairing itself; because maybe they will never find a way to get it; and because if I don't continue to feed it, I can still do what."
"I'm just a dying man, Xiao Meng."
"Then, what are we still struggling for?" Meng Li whispered, "Since they have decided to come, since the starworm has not had time to repair it successfully."
"It was originally like this." Qu Zhoufu looked at him, "But now, we have a new hope."
"What?"
"you."
"."
"It's you, Xiao Meng." Qu Zhoufu said softly, "You are too outstanding. Counting generations ago, countless people will not be able to learn three swords in their lifetime, let alone at your age."
".What does this mean?"
"This is the cliff that stopped him." Qu Zhoufu said softly, "It took him forty years to pass it, so he could only leave the other half of the ancient pendant here."
The old man looked at him: "The virtual sword and the real sword are the foundation of the "Dao Xu Ming Shi General Sutra".
Pei Ye looked at his body and walked up to the ancient pendant. Qu Zhoufu followed behind and taught him to open it with the second sword.
Pei Ye had seen [Zhaoyou] when it was vacant. One side of it was a hard and regular spherical depression. Pei Ye now knew that it had placed the bead; the other side was a regular and hollow square, and he did not know what had been placed there.
Now in front of Meng Li, the side containing the beads was empty, but on the square side, a dark soft and slippery substance like clay was still floating inside. It was snatched away by it as soon as his eyes came into contact. The small lump, but It's so deep that it seems to contain the entire starry sky.
Meng Li slowly stretched out his finger and touched the square cage. The mass of material bit him and then Pei Ye lost consciousness of the body.
[Zhaoyou] penetrates everything from the spiritual level, but it cannot record the experience of this body at this moment, but Pei Ye can roughly tell that he is going through a trial.
The darkness climbed out of the cage and sank into Meng Li's body bit by bit.
Pei Ye lowered his head and observed this place. Except for a few lines of destroyed writing on the bronze pedestal, there were no clues to understand.
'Meng Li' raised his hand in confusion and looked at it. Pei Ye sighed tiredly and pushed back the time.
In the dark hall, the master and apprentice once again had a more intense quarrel.
When Meng Li got this strange book about menopause, Pei Ye had already guessed what the old man was thinking. This was also the confusion and torture Yang Yan suffered in the end.
"We can make it work, Xiao Meng." Qu Zhoufu whispered, "These days, everyone knows that we almost turned against each other. You killed me, I hurt you, and you were captured by the lineage surnamed Sun. Dungeon. They have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. People will believe all this because the master gate is ruthless. After the Huansi Building is gone, you can leave at any time - at least you can get three days of blank time, and you can travel without leaving a trace. Into the sea of people.”
Meng Li smiled hoarsely: "Are you so sure that they will go after Xiaoyan?"
"The General Jing of Daoxu Mingshi will not be trapped. No one will be discovered if the Jing wants to kill anyone." Qu Zhoufu said in a low voice, "Xiaoyan left quietly from the secret path. They will believe it. Only when they can't catch Xiaoyan and get the news of your silent departure will they find out that they were transferred away from the mountain——"
"They will catch Xiaoyan." Meng Li interrupted him expressionlessly.
"."
"Qu Zhoufu, you are talking fucking nonsense!!" Meng Li said angrily, "If Huansilou really believes that Xiaoyan took away the Qijing, will they not be able to catch up with a five-year-old idiot? !”
"Then you should walk faster." Qu Zhoufu said softly without any expression, "in case you are still acting in the dungeon after they find out that Xiaoyan has nothing on her."
Meng Li gritted his teeth and smashed the table in front of him with one punch.
The turbid yellow tea splashed on his eyebrows, and the man gasped for breath. After a long time, he whispered: "None of us have to die for anyone, Master. If you must die, then save Xiaoyan."
Pei Ye came out of [Zhaoyou] again. This time it was not the interruption from the outside world. He himself clearly felt unbearable fatigue.
The cool air of the autumn night poured into his mouth and nose. Pei Ye took a deep breath to clear away the turbid air in his chest and abdomen, but his head was still pounding with drowsiness.
Pei Ye pressed her forehead and said softly: "Kitten, what time is it?"
"At the end of the day," Black Cat said, "How is it?"
Pei Ye was silent for a while and told Pei Zhong what he saw: "This is the second time I have seen Qi Shu Menopause. Xun Lu is a bead, and this one is a ball of ooze."
Black Cat thought: "This is not important now. We have to figure out the origin and use of that bead - haven't we seen what happened next?"
"There's no need to read it anymore." Pei Ye held his head and whispered, "After tomorrow, I'm going to go back to 'that person'."
"Black robe?" Black Cat whispered, "But we still don't know who he is. How do you lock him in [Zhaoyou]? Are you crossing Qu Zhoufu's tributaries one by one?"
"No need. I will see him soon." Pei Ye held a jade bead in the cage and gently raised his head.
".What?"
On the horizon, a green shadow was rushing down.
Pei Ye took [Liu Feng] and took the small tube from its limbs, which contained an extremely thin paper roll.
"Ping Qing's letter." Pei Ye whispered.
He unfolded it gently, his eyes passing over the beautiful handwriting, and a finely drawn painting was printed underneath.
Every detail is revealed, and the divine form is complete. It must take a lot of time and energy to draw such a painting, especially when the content only exists in the description and recollection of a girl.
The seer, the sorcerer, and the painter worked together to transfer the girl's memory onto the paper from the next day, making sure not to miss anything.
It only took more than three days.
Before leaving, Pei Ye asked the girl for this painting in advance.
At this time he looked down:
The frozen lake, the tall snow-capped mountains, the frost forest shining with light, and the snow cornices falling into the ice. A young man with a handsome face stood in this state. He waved his hand expressionlessly and nailed the long sword in his hand to the ground.
Pei Ye recognized this scene. It was exactly the martial arts field where the young man ran out with a knife when he opened his eyes for the first time in Yang Yan's body.
