Chongyun clenched his fists. Every time there were rumors of evil spirits appearing somewhere, he was always the first to arrive.
But every time he arrived, those evil spirits who were rumored to be so powerful were burned to death by his body of pure Yang, which made him waver in his plan to conquer demons.
Are you really suitable for this path?
"Then is there any solution?" Yu Jin raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Chongyun was very resentful about not being able to see Yaoxie.
How can such a quiet young man be so angry that he almost loses his temper? How can this resentment not be great?
"No, before Chongyun thought about suppressing his pure Yang body. Later, under my persuasion, he turned to looking for monsters who would not be scared away by his pure Yang body." Xing Qiu shook his head.
"It seems like it still has no effect?" Yi Jin saw Chong Yun's erected hair softening again and smacked his mouth.
"You can't find such a monster at all." Chongyun spread his hands. Pure yang bodies are too great a threat to evil spirits, and there are no evil spirits who are not afraid of pure yang bodies.
"Haha, are you guys busy?" Seeing Chongyun and Xingqiu looking like this, Yu Jin knew it was his turn to appear!
There is no shortage of evil spirits in the underground world of Liyue.
"not busy."
"I won't come to Xiaoshi if I'm busy."
Xingqiu and Chongyun replied that there is no difference between being a knight and doing justice and subduing demons.
They are shopping in Liyue now because the Hai Lantern Festival is approaching, the evil people have restrained themselves, the evil spirits have shrunk, and they have nothing to do.
"That's good, come with me! I'll take you to meet Yaoxie."
"Well..., it's very powerful. Even a pure Yang body can't drive away the evil spirits!"
Yi Yan smiled mysteriously at Xingqiu and Chongyun behind him, then turned around and walked away against the flow of people.
Xingqiu and Chongyun looked at each other, then shouted and followed.
"Senior, wait for me!"×2
……
Cuijue Slope is located to the west of Guiliyuan and north of Luhua Lake. In terms of geographical location, it is just another ordinary depression in Liyue.
There are countless places like this in Liyue. It is said that the huge depressions throughout the land of Liyue were all caused by the rock spears that the Rock King dropped during the Demon War. As to whether this is true or not, no one can verify it.
As soon as they entered Cuijuepo, everyone discovered the difference here.
It was clear that he looked bright and bright before, but as soon as he walked into Cuijuepo, the weather became gloomy.
The thick dark clouds could not reveal a trace of light, making the entire Cuijue Slope look extremely dark.
In the darkness, there was a glimmer of light.
Apart from the firelight emitted by the usually growing flame flowers, the most eye-catching thing about Cuijuepo is the nine huge stone pillars standing in the depression.
The stone pillars seemed to be inlaid with stone amber, emitting a faint warm yellow light in the darkness.
"Ah... sneeze!" Standing on the hillside, Xingqiu felt the cold wind blowing in front of him and unexpectedly sneezed rarely.
His body has been strengthened by the Eye of God. No matter it is hot summer or deep winter, he will not feel any discomfort. He did not expect to feel the cold here.
"There's... something unusual here." As an alchemist, Chongyun is much more sensitive than Xingqiu when it comes to looking for evil spirits.
He could detect the difference, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.
"No, you are from Liyue and have never been here before?" Yu Jin complained immediately when he saw Xingqiu and Chongyun looking here for the first time.
He, who has only been in Liyue for a few months, has traveled all over Liyue, but these two locals haven't been to Cuijuepo yet?
"Who has nothing to do to come to such a deserted place? Do you want to do chivalry for Qiuqiu and Slime?"
"The correct answer is that I can't see demons in the first place. In this uninhabited land, even if there are demons, I can't get rid of them."
Xingqiu and Chongyun nodded simultaneously. How big is Liyue? If you really want to finish the journey, I'm afraid it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Only someone like Yu Yan, who was extremely fast and had nothing to do all day long, could travel all over Liyue in such a short period of time.
"Is this the place where the great demon lives that senior said?" Chongyun stepped forward and carefully looked at Cuijue Slope above.
Messy gravel, weathered and decayed wreckage, Qiuqiu people chasing something unknown... If you ignore the abnormal weather and the huge stone pillars nearby, Cuijue Slope will be no different from other desolate places in Liyue.
"Yes, that's right here." Yi Yan's eyes turned to a closed stone door in Cuijue Slope.
"The howling demon wind is breathtaking, this is definitely the place where the great demon is!" Before Chongyun could say anything, Xingqiu shook his head and muttered a few words.
"When did you learn the art of identifying monsters and finding evil?" Chongyun was a little surprised when he saw Xingqiu's words were clear and logical.
Is it possible that this close friend of mine also practiced alchemy when he was alone?
"Learned it from the storyteller." As expected, Xingqiu didn't learn any alchemy at all, he was just careless.
"Tsk, you can't do this, you need a professional." Yu Jin waved his hand to Xingqiu, then patted Chongyun on the shoulder and asked:
"How's it going? Did you see anything?"
Chongyun was speechless. At this moment, he clasped his hands together, holding an upright yellow talisman tightly between his two palms.
The yellow talisman was made of steel. Although the wind was freezing on the hillside, the talisman did not waver at all.
"Clap clap clap!"
The talisman paper in Chongyun's hand made a crisp crackling sound. The talisman paper was broken into tiny strips of paper from the middle, and each strip of paper pointed in a certain direction.
"Nine heavens are aligned to calm the evil grudges."
"The righteousness of the nine directions is the center of the formation."
"The location of the formation eye is right here!"
The talisman in Chongyun's hand burned out of thin air, and with a push of ashes, he knew the magic here.
The location of these nine stone pillars is the position that a certain expert found to suppress the monsters.
The nine pillars are connected, and the entire Cuijue Slope is a demon-suppressing formation with the nine pillars as the position and the sky and the earth as the map.

"Is this what formation you were talking about?"
In Cuijue Slope, Xingqiu touched the ancient and vicissitudes of stone gate in front of him and asked Chongyun with a hint of amazement.
He didn't expect that there would be such magical things in such a deserted place. It really opened his eyes!
Should I expand the scope of activities with Chongyun? I can't find such "good places" in Liyue and Qingcezhuang.
Xingqiu thought this in his heart, without considering the possible roars of his elder brother and father in the future.
"This is it." Chongyun also reached out and touched the thick stone door in front of him. Unlike Xingqiu, he could clearly feel an obscure force flowing through it.
This must be the power contained in the formation here.
"Then how to open it?" Yu Jin saw Chongyun's understanding look and asked how to open the stone door.
He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any mechanism on it? Not only the mechanism, but also the crack in the door.
This made Yi Yan begin to wonder whether this thing was a stone slab or a stone door.
"I'll give it a try." Chongyun took a deep breath, and then began to chant the incantation.
“$#…”
His voice was as thin as a line, let alone Xingqiu, even Yu Yan couldn't hear what he was talking about.
"open!"
A bright flash of light burst out from Chongyun's fingertips and disappeared into the huge stone door in front of him.
Then nothing happened.
"Chongyun, have you been slacking off recently? Why is this technique useless?" Xingqiu ran forward and buckled the stone door. There was nothing wrong with it, not even a scum fell off.
"Well..." Chongyun covered his head and lowered his head in thought.
"This formation is too powerful. The formation-breaking method passed down in my family is useless." After a while, Chongyun found the reason.
There was nothing wrong with his gestures and formulas. The only problem was that the formation was too stable, and even the magic techniques specifically used to break the formation could not shake it at all.
"The powerful formation here, what exactly is being suppressed here?" After hearing Chongyun's words, Xingqiu became even more curious about what was behind the door.
"Of course he is a great demon who is not even afraid of pure Yang bodies!" Yu Jin patted the two of them on the head, and then said: "But if you can't open this door, you won't be able to see anything."
Yi Yan took back his palm. If there was really no other way, brute force cracking was not impossible, but it was best not to do so.
After all, this is a historic site, so we should protect it as much as we can.
"Quick, quick, quick! Chongyun, take out your all-powerful "Yaoxie Qizhijialu" and find out how to break this formation!"
Xingqiu was even more excited after hearing this.
Speaking of which, because he and Chongyun were inseparable, he had never seen any evil spirits. Xingqiu was also full of curiosity about the things that Chongyun could not forget.
"Cough cough cough! Stop shooting!" Chongyun was so shocked by Xingqiu's shooting that he turned sideways away from Xingqiu, then looked at the nine stone pillars looming in the dark mist in the distance and said:
"If we want to break the formation, we have to look under those pillars. Those are the positions of the formation and the nodes of its power."
Chongyun said, striding towards the direction of the stone pillar.
Xingqiu is very excited, but why not Chongyun?
Based on the size and style of this formation, Chongyun was certain that those suppressed must be ancient demons.
As for how big this demon is? Chongyun didn't know, but he could definitely be big enough to not be afraid of his pure Yang body.
When he thought of this, Chongyun's heart agitated. His pure Yang body can finally work!
As for the previous one? Chongyun felt that wherever he hit the stick, he was not able to exert the power that a pure Yang body should have.
A true pure Yang body should be one that integrates Yang energy into alchemy and uses it at will!
Just like how he lit Xingqiu's hair before.
But it's a pity that Chongyun couldn't even find a demon that could resist the aura of a pure Yang body, let alone a big demon that could allow him to cast spells that incorporated Yang energy.
Cuijuepo is very gloomy, like the moment when the sun just sets in the evening when the yin and yang meet.
The first stone pillar was not too far away from the group, and soon the three of them arrived under the stone pillar.
