Chapter 206: A Story of a Snake and a Scholar

"Remember the contents of the Heavenly Book."

"Ah."

Bi Yao nodded. Although she could not understand the inner meaning yet, simply memorizing it was not difficult for a cultivator of her level.

"Crack~~~"

"Creak~~"

Then, Su Dingan suddenly controlled the Qi and Blood Bead, enlarged it, and used it like a millstone to scrape off a layer of something on the wall.

"What does this mean?"

Bi Yao looked suspicious. You said he didn’t want others to see the heavenly book, but he made himself remember it first.

“People’s inertia.”

Su Dingan explained.

"When we came in, that mechanism, think about it, did you sense any spiritual fluctuations?"

"Never has."

"That's it. That black-hearted old man designed it this way on purpose. He chose the best materials so that it would not rot for thousands of years, but he used the simplest mechanism. On the one hand, the simpler the mechanism, the lower the chance of problems. On the other hand, cultivators like me are very sensitive to spiritual energy, but our perception of ordinary things is average."

Here, Su Dingan is talking about the "thoughts" of this world.

Unlike the divine thoughts in other novels, which can see everything like radar at a glance, the thoughts in this world do not have such concrete abilities. They don't even have the ability to penetrate objects. Otherwise, a cave hidden behind rocks would not have remained unfound for hundreds of years.

The thoughts in this world are more like a resonance, but they can only resonate with spiritual things.

So, they can fly with swords.

But you can't see through walls.

In fact, even his 'Tai Chi Bo Ruo' is the same. When his divine consciousness is released, it is more like a field, a domain.

"I know this, but what does it have to do with you erasing the Heavenly Book?"

"I'm not erasing the Heavenly Book. I'm just reasonably suspecting that if that black-hearted old man wanted to design a mechanism to leave the Bleeding Cave, he would definitely choose this kind of pure mechanism that doesn't require any spiritual power, just like before. Only in this way can he conceal the perception of cultivators like us."

"And this kind of trap between the mortal world, no matter how well it is disguised, there will definitely be some clues. In this case, I will dig deep into all the places where traps may be installed. I don't believe that I can't find a way out."

"But how can you be sure there is a way out? Didn't that black-hearted old man die here?"

"He just doesn't want to escape anymore."

Su Dingan explained.

"Look at the way he sits, so straight. Think about it, in the battle between good and evil, he was defeated miserably, and all his elite soldiers were killed. It's not impossible that he has completely lost his fighting spirit."

After that, Su Dingan continued to use the Qi and Blood Bead to grind the walls, ceiling, and even the ground. Of course, he was doing this for Bi Yao to see.
"Okay, I'll help too."

Perhaps she was infected by Su Dingan's fighting spirit of not giving up, or perhaps she really had nothing to do, Bi Yao also took out her sad little flower. The seven petals fluttered in the air, scratching the room.

Before long, the two of them had completely scratched the room.

"It seems that this is not the place"

Shaking his head, Su Dingan turned to face the entrance and scraped his way out along the tunnel, while Biyao dodged a few times and went to another cave.
"Did you find anything?"

An hour later..
Bi Yao appeared in the cave where the black-hearted old man was buried, and Su Dingan had been waiting there long ago. Taking this opportunity, he had replaced the real heavenly book and left a fake one. Of course, in order to prevent Bi Yao from finding out, he also scratched the stone.
"There are some discoveries, but they are not the exits."

As he spoke, Su Dingan pointed to the place where the black-hearted old man was originally.

His bones had been thrown aside by Su Dingan. Bi Yao did not say anything about it. Even she felt that this person from the evil cult was insane. After all, the vengeful spirits in the Dead Abyss were the evidence that he did not deserve to have a burial place.

"Originally there were a few words here, left by the Black-hearted Old Man and the Lady Jinling you mentioned. They seemed to be lovers."

"Well, there are also rumors among our Holy Church."

"After I erased the text, I found a mechanism. Then I triggered the half-destroyed mechanism, and a stone slab fell down."

"Nine Netherworld spirits, gods and demons of the heavens,"

"I will sacrifice my blood and body."

"Three lives and seven generations, forever in hell,"

"Just for love, I will never regret it even if I die."

Bi Yao looked over and slowly read the words above.

"This is the love spell of our holy sect. It uses the essence and blood of women as a guide, and can resist all attacks, but the woman's soul will eventually fly away. Some people say that the ancestors of the holy sect learned it from the heavenly book, and some people say that the ancestor was actually Madam Jinling. It's just that it has been too long and there is no definite evidence."

"Hey"

At this point, Biyao sighed.

On the one hand, I feel sad. Are there really women in this world who are willing to die for a man?
Another thing is that she and Su Dingan might die here.

Because she not only scratched the room where she got the Hehuan Bell, but also scratched all the walls and holes on the way here.
In other words, there is really no way out here.
Of course, she didn't believe in evil and tried to use the sad little flower to attack the rock blocking the exit.

Then, she understood something.

She used to love listening to storytellers.

But her father always scoffed, especially at stories about mortals fantasizing about monks.

In those stories, the monks could break gold and stone, sever rivers and seas with just a few moves, but the battles between monks seemed to be immortal.

Her father's comment on this was.

Mortals always underestimate the damage that magic can cause to the flesh and blood body, and always overestimate the damage that magic can cause to the natural world.

That's it, put it here.

Even though they were high up in the sky, facing this collapsed tunnel, at least for cultivators of their level, it was not that easy to open this tunnel. Unless they reached the level of his father or Yun Yilan, they could cause enough damage to the world.
In the entire cultivation world, those who can reach that realm are basically elders or leaders of a sect.
"Are you hungry? Eat something."

Bi Yao waved her hand, and Sad Little Flower cleared out a clean place, and then sat there carelessly, took out the cake she carried with her from her arms, broke it open carefully, and handed half to Su Dingan.

"Thank you."

Su Dingan was not polite. At the moment, his PUA for Biyao had ended. After that, he just needed to maintain this relationship. He must remember not to be alienated. The more natural it was, the more it would deepen this relationship.
"Hey"

After taking a bite of the cake, Bi Yao sighed again. "I never thought that I would not be able to escape this cave and die here. However, I have no regrets about dying with you."

"Well, I'm flattered."

"Hahaha"

Bi Yao laughed heartily, with a hint of charm on her face. Only at this moment did she look like a witch from a cult.

As she spoke, she suddenly came close to Su Dingan, looking at him with her big watery eyes. At this moment, the distance between them was so close that he could even feel Biyao's breath.
"Hehe, you are such a boring person."

Finally, Biyao spoke first.

"Can you promise me something?"

"what's up?"

"According to my memory, even monks like me will starve to death if we don't eat for half a month. I don't want to starve to death. I don't want to watch you die and then be left here alone to die."

"I hope you can kill me. If you want, you can also eat my body. Maybe, I can hold on for a while. What if the elders of your sect find this place?"

Having said that, Bi Yao's eyes were a little evasive, but she forced herself not to dodge, but to look at Su Dingan quietly, waiting for his reaction.

"Hu~~"

Su Dingan reached out and rubbed Biyao's head.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Don't you think this is a very evil thing to do?"

"If there is a bit of maternal love mixed in, probably not."

“You guessed it.”

Hearing this, Biyao's tears flowed down.
This is her heart knot, she can't forgive herself, but she also knows that it is her mother's love for her.
So, in fact, she may just want a third person to affirm her, maybe that will let her let go.
Su Dingan felt that, in a sense, Biyao's mood at the moment was somewhat similar to that of Li Shimin, the most powerful man on earth in the seventh century. It was true that he killed his brother and loved his younger brother, but at that time, the political struggle had reached a life-and-death point, and it had nothing to do with right or wrong.

Afterwards, perhaps all he needed was this conclusion.
psychological comfort
"Puff."

Without any warning, Biyao fell down softly.
Lying in Su Dingan's arms.
Apparently, she fainted.
However, there was a trace of relief on her face.——
"Uncle Master."

"Niece Lu, what's the matter?"

Uncle Zeng looked at Lu Xueqi, who was as cold as a piece of ice, and frowned slightly. He knew that this was not just an emotional problem. Junior-disciple Lu was in a very strange state at the moment, as if she was trying hard to maintain something.

"I want to meet Master Pude."

"Well, come with me."

After thinking about it, Zeng Shuchang nodded. He probably guessed something. After all, the Tianya Sword was the most precious treasure of his Qingmen Sect, and he knew some of its characteristics.

"Actually, you can wait a few more days."

Zeng Shuchang suddenly spoke.

"I think the support from our Qingyun Sect should not be far away. Even if they cannot break through this misty formation, they will be able to rescue us."

Yes, Zeng Shuchang’s words were different from what he had said to Qi Hao before.

After careful observation, he had come to the conclusion that this formation backed by millions of resentful spirits was, in a sense, based on the same principle as his Qingyun Sect's Zhuxian Formation, and was definitely not something that could be defeated by human power. In fact, if it weren't for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation that old monk Pu De had arranged in advance, at this moment, those of them who were trapped in the formation would be unable to get out or escape. After ten days or half a month, they would probably all be filled with resentment and become monsters who had lost their minds.
Therefore, he didn't expect to break the formation.

It would be nice to be able to leave here.

Anyway, once the opponent's formation is activated, the millions of resentful spirits will become consumables, and the loss will not be small.

"Uncle, I actually know that Junior Brother Su is probably dead, but if I don't do this, my Taoism will be hindered in the future. I just feel sorry that I can't use the power of the Tianya Sword immediately. Otherwise, Junior Brother Su might still have a chance to survive."

In the center of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage formation, Pu De was sitting there meditating. It was obvious that the old monk was not in a good condition. Without the guidance of the sunlight, he was consuming his own Buddha power and the Buddha power in his magic weapon.

"Lu Xueqi, a junior from Qingyun Sect, greets the Divine Monk Pude."

"Amitabha."

"Divine monk, if I can break this formation for a moment, can you bring in the sunlight again and drive away this lingering resentment?"

"can."

After a moment's silence, Pude nodded.

"If I hadn't used up my energy to activate the swastika spell at the entrance of the cave, I wouldn't have been wrapped up in this formation. But I could only fight against this ghost formation. After all, the Buddha's light doesn't turn."

"Okay, then Master, get ready."

After saying that, Lu Xueqi didn't wait for the monk Pu De to reply. She held the Tianya sword in her hand and floated straight into the sky. She passed through the golden light and went deep into the vast resentment. Then she stopped moving, because this resentment formation had a confusing attribute. Once you lose the golden body as a reference, you think you are flying upwards, but in fact you may be flying downwards. In short, if you are stuck in this formation, you will never be able to get out.

"call"

After taking a deep breath, the Tianya Sword in Lu Xueqi's hand suddenly emitted a blue light. For a moment, the light penetrated the fog.
"Wow, Grandpa, it's so bright."

Zhou Xiaohuan looked up at the sky, and the azure light looked like the sun.
"This girl is really desperate."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yixian frowned slightly.

"Why."

"Because, what she wants to do is to completely stimulate the inner power of Tianya Sword. This is not something she can touch at her level. Forcibly touching it will only hurt her foundation, which will not be worth the loss."

"But Grandpa, didn't you say that Qingyun Sect still has backup?"

"Trapped in love."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yixian recalled the expression of the girl before and spoke lightly.

"I guess there might be someone from Qingyun Sect in the Wanfu Cave. However, with such resentment, even if there is someone, it is estimated that he will not survive. It is most likely that he is seeking revenge."

"Is it like the stories in the novels?"

Although Zhou Xiaohuan was good at face reading, she was still a child after all. She didn't understand many things and had only seen similar stories in storybooks.

"That. That "The Story of a Snake and a Scholar". In order to save the scholar, the snake sacrificed its thousand years of cultivation and bravely entered the underworld."

"almost."

"Wow"
