Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 310
Master Tianjiu took the trouble to tell about his adventures in Xingyao Palace.

It sounded like he was working hard as a guide for everyone, but in fact he was full of bitterness and was not very willing.

He had been trapped in the palace for eight years, and finally survived the desperate situation. In fact, he planned to hide his name and ignore the affairs of the monster clan.

But he was too unlucky, last month he went through untold hardships and had just escaped from the palace, before he could catch his breath, he ran into Duke Shi Liu.

Shi Liugong was born with sincerity and loyalty to the Red Lotus Corpse King. Ever since the Red Lotus Corpse King fell into the palace, Shi Liugong has been trying to rescue him. He has been lurking in Xueshi Gorge for eight years, and camped near the Crying Valley, trying to find Entrance to the palace.

It's a pity that the entrance was hidden by Fengming Patriarch Xiaoyue, and Shi Liugong couldn't find a way to sneak into the palace for a long time. Just when he was at a loss, he happened to meet Tianjiu Mingshi who rushed out from the Tiny Valley.

After he learned that Tianjiu Mingshi opened an underground passage to the palace, he immediately asked Tianjiu Mingshi to be a guide and sneak into the palace together to find the red lotus corpse king.

This request made Tianjiu Mingshi miserable. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid of angering Shi Liugong, so he frightened him, saying that there were many murderous intentions in the palace and the danger was too great. Shi Liugong broke into the palace, he was single and weak, and entering the palace was also a death penalty.

He originally intended to let Shi Liugong know the difficulties and retreat, but Shi Liugong is a stubborn one. When he heard that the palace was in danger, he immediately ordered the accompanying corpses to go to various places in the snowfield to distribute Juyi posters.

One after another, Xuetan Ghost King's subordinate Xueshou Ghost Master, Luo Mo Demon King's subordinate Jin Chan Demon Master, and Bullfighting Demon King's subordinate Niu Moxing were invited to Tingyou Valley together to hold the so-called "Star Rock Gathering" Shang's plan to rescue the kings.

As a result, Tianjiu Mingshi couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he could only bite the bullet and act as a guide.

However, Master Tianjiu would never mention these concerns to outsiders.

Fang Dushu heard him tell the story of the secret tunnel in the palace, and thought: "Did the devil sneak into the palace through this underground tunnel?"

After arriving at the palace, the matter will be revealed.

on the river.

Except for the whispers of the group of monsters, at first no other noises could be heard, but after sailing for more than ten miles, a low-pitched scream gradually arose.

"Ghost howling?" The ghost master Xueshou has the most effective ears, and she is born as a ghost, so she is very sensitive to similar voices: "Fellow Taoist Tianjiu, are there ghosts blocking the way?"

"It's just some wild ghosts who are not good enough, they have long been trapped by the old man's spell. Don't worry, fellow Taoist Xuechou, the whole waterway has been dredged by the old man. Before entering the palace, everyone doesn't need to bother to take action." Tianjiu Mingshi has a plan in mind.

As they talked, the giant turtle under their feet had already driven into the ghost howling area. The blood fog here was getting thicker and thicker, and there were dense ghost figures floating in the fog, howling in groups.

Fang Dushu heard the sound of crying, thinking that this should also be the origin of the name of Crying Valley.

"Fellow Taoist Tianjiu, did these wild ghosts come out of the palace?" Fang Dushu asked.

"That's right. Eight years ago, the kings led demon soldiers to fight Renxiu in the palace. There were countless deaths and injuries. The remains were corroded by the palace's dark energy, and some of them turned into ghosts and corpses, wandering back and forth in the palace." Tianjiu Mingshi said:

"It's just that they have been necrotic for a few years. They have no intelligence and are still in an ignorant state. They only have hunting instincts. Not long ago, the waterway in the palace was opened, and I was able to leave the palace. They wandered out along the exit and wandered for hundreds of miles. on the waterway."

These newly transformed creatures are the so-called lonely ghosts in the mortal world. They have almost no mana, and they can be easily dealt with even by minor repairs during the ordinary qi training period.

The ghost masters Shi Liugong and Xueshou present, including Tianjiu Mingshi, are all first-class masters of the underworld. There is almost no doubt about their spiritual wisdom and human cultivation. It is as easy as pie.

However, when the Tianjiu Nether Corpse dredged the waterway earlier, it did not kill these wild ghosts. It only used a forbidden technique to trap the ghosts in the blood mist, not only keeping them alive, but even ensuring that they could rely on the blood mist to slowly cultivate. .

This is naturally due to the same origin.

If a person builds a waterway, when he encounters a group of ghosts, he must kill them all.

In this way, the group of monsters rode on the giant turtle and began to shuttle among the ghost groups. The further they went, the denser the ghost group became.

When they drove through the Baili waterway and arrived at the entrance of the palace, they suddenly found that the entrance had been occupied by ghosts.

Tianjiu Mingshi signaled the group of demons: "The last time I came out of the palace, the entrance was a water-absorbing vortex, and there were no ghosts entrenched. These wild ghosts should have just flowed out of the palace. As long as you disperse them, the entrance will be clear." Appear!"

After he finished speaking, Shi Liugong and Ghost Master Xueshou waved their hands together, and the ghoul teams led by them immediately jumped out of the giant turtle and began to clean up the ghost group.

Several demon masters watched from a distance.

Shi Liugong asked: "In just eight years, the bones of those newly dead have shown signs of being ghostly. This shows that the palace should be in the environment of the underworld! According to this calculation, those who died thousands of years ago The ancient monks in the palace can also become ghosts, so their cultivation must not be low, right?"

Master Tianjiu admitted this speculation.

He said: "The bones of the ancient monks were indeed decomposed, but the palace was very sealed at that time, and wild corpses and ghosts could not leave the palace, so they killed each other in the palace. Even if they survived occasionally, when the palace was opened eight years ago, It was also slaughtered by the Nascent Soul monks in the kings and human cultivators!"

Shi Liugong said with a smile: "So, there shouldn't be anything threatening us in the palace at this time?"

"Barely a threat."

Tianjiu Mingshi said: "But the seals that block the kings are quite powerful. They were arranged by the Nascent Soul cultivator himself. With our cultivation base, even if we can break the seals, it will take a very long time. I'm afraid that during the period of breaking the seal, Renxiu will suddenly kill a carbine, and disaster will be imminent."

"Let's go and investigate first, if there is really nothing to do..." Shi Liugong looked around at the demon masters: "At that time, everyone will go their own way, those who are willing to leave will leave the palace, and those who are willing to stay will help each other. Will not force."

His words were mainly spoken by Fang Dushu and Qingqing, and of course Tianjiu Mingshi.

Shi Liugong has been in the snow field for hundreds of years, he is so sophisticated, how can he not see the reluctance of Tianjiu Mingshi?But in order to rescue the Red Lotus Corpse King, even if he offended Master Tianjiu, he didn't care so much.

But after finding out where the Red Lotus Corpse King was trapped, if it is too difficult to rescue, Shi Liugong will not force Tianjiu Mingshi to stay forever.

At that time, the Shiliu Association will keep its promise and let everyone get together and leave.

"The entrance is revealed!"

There was a burst of cheers from the group of monsters.

At this time, the waterway has come to an end, and there is a water-absorbing vortex ahead.

Although Tianjiu Mingshi's words were firm and there was no danger in the palace, several demon masters still did not dare to be careless. They first sent their demon soldiers to explore the way.

After the demon soldiers jumped into the vortex and confirmed that the environment at the entrance of the palace was safe, they set off together.

Fang Dushu and Qingqing accompanied several demon masters to move together, and when they came out of the whirlpool, they disappeared in the dark and narrow river.

The environment suddenly opened up, and a new world appeared in their eyes.

They were floating on the turquoise water, breathing in the fresh air while looking around.

This is an enchanted space with bright sunshine.

The blue sky and white clouds stretched across hundreds of miles, like a spiritual realm of its own.

However, there is no land in the spiritual domain, and there is river water under their feet. No matter how far they look, they can only see the vast lake.

"It's so strange, the Xingyao Palace is actually a big lake!"

"The islands on the lake are densely covered. There are dozens of them that are only visible to the naked eye. However, those islands are not large in size, and they don't seem suitable for settlement!"

Strictly speaking, those "lake islands" are not real islands. Some are a single stone pillar, some are a pavilion protruding from the lake, and some are a tree crown rooted in the center of the lake. .

If you observe the terrain in detail, you will find that the so-called 'lake island' is just an illusion caused by the river flooding the ground.

Tianjiu Mingshi’s next explanation also proved this point: “Eight years ago when I followed the kings into the Xingyao Palace for the first time, the water from the Tongyou River did not seep in. At that time, the entire space was full of mountains, rivers and land , the ground is full of the remains of the ancient demon court!"

In recent years, the river has poured into the imperial palace, flooding the land and most of the ruins. Only those places with high terrain can still reveal their true faces.

Tianjiu Mingshi said again: "Many of the islands you see are Lingshan Lingfeng standing in the palace, and there are ancient ruins buried under each island. Those people want to seize the palace at all costs. precious!"

Shi Liugong's demon masters are not interested in the ruins, they only care about one thing: "Where are the kings trapped?"

"Star Rock Peak!"

Master Tianjiu raised his hand and pointed far away: "Xingyan Peak is the dojo of Emperor Chongyan, the last ruler of the Tongtian Demon Kingdom. Eight years ago, the Nascent Soul monks who were cultivated by the kings and others also fought fiercely on Xingyan Peak. There are too many Nascent Soul monsters repaired, and the kings can't resist, so unfortunately they are trapped!"

Although the kings were no match for Renxiu, it was even more difficult for Renxiu to kill the kings, so he could only seal the matter in the end.

"Then don't wait any longer, let's rush to Xingyan Peak!"

Shi Liugong waved his hand, and the giant turtle continued to sail along the lake.

As Tianjiu Mingshi said, there is almost no danger in the palace, and they walked hundreds of miles of water all the way without encountering any accidents.

The lake in the entire space spans hundreds of miles, the lake surface is as smooth as a mirror, and there is not a single fish under the lake, only a few sporadic wild corpses and ghosts appear, but they do not cause the slightest disturbance to the group of monsters.

This also caused their escape speed to be much faster.

Soon, they arrived at the center of the lake.

Looking at the spectacular scene in front of them, they lost their minds for a moment, and they were stunned in the same place by coincidence.

"What it is?"

On the surface of the lake, there is a huge tripod with a square shape.

Such a huge tripod as vast as a mountain is rare no matter where it is located.

Fang Dushu also felt shocked. He roughly measured the diameter of the tripod body, and it was more than ten miles wide and long.

Fortunately, the giant cauldron was not refined from Lingzhen, it was just a spirit shadow.

The mountain peak sealed inside the cauldron is the real entity.

After inspecting the giant cauldron from top to bottom, from left to right, Fang Dushu and several demon masters all saw the clue.

This giant cauldron is actually a prohibition circle.

What is the magic circle for?

"Fellow Taoist Tianjiu!" Shi Liugong pointed to the huge cauldron and asked, "This cauldron should be the seal that traps your Majesties, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Shi's guess is right!" Tianjiu Mingshi said: "The mountain inside the tripod is Xingyan Peak, the center of Xingyao Palace!"

"Can fellow Taoist Tianjiu sneak into the cauldron?" Shi Liugong asked again.

"Fellow Daoist Shi really thinks highly of me!" Tianjiu Mingshi smiled wryly: "When Renxiu evacuated the palace, he sealed Xingyan Peak. After the giant cauldron appeared, not even a fly could fly out, and naturally he couldn't get in! If I could escape, I was chased and killed by Renxiu before the giant cauldron was activated, and I left Xingyan Peak and hid at the entrance of the waterway, so I escaped a catastrophe!"

"When people built the formation, the river hadn't poured into the palace yet!" Shi Liugong didn't give up: "Now the river has submerged the tripod's feet, and it has been washing away the tripod formation all year round. Maybe some loopholes will emerge!"

"This..." Tianjiu Mingshi hesitated: "Whether there are loopholes in the cauldron formation, I have not dived into the bottom of the lake to check, so I can't jump to conclusions! However, the color of the huge tripod has changed. When I left the palace not long ago, the tripod body was full of water. The bloody light, now seems to be filled with some dark air, I don't know if it has something to do with the scouring of the river!"

What caused the cauldron formation to change, which requires them to investigate in detail around the giant cauldron.

Fang Dushu found that the appearance of the giant cauldron was quite similar to that of the bell tripod that the monk had comprehended, so he inquired: "Fellow Tianjiu, what is the origin of this giant cauldron formation? Do you know?"

The other demon masters were also very curious.

Master Tianjiu knew something about the inside story: "When I followed several kings to the Xingyan Peak, this giant tripod circle already existed!"

Fang Dushu said: "It turns out that the cauldron array is a legacy left by the Xingyao Palace!"

"That's right! Several great kings failed to defeat Renxiu's Nascent Soul cultivator, which led to Renxiu taking away the right to use the tripod array, and turned it to suppress several great kings!"

Master Tianjiu Ming said slowly: "Before the war started, several kings had talked about the God's Artifact of the Heaven-reaching Demon Kingdom in the past. I listened in on it. The tripod array is actually a copy of the power of the God's Artifact!"

When the demon masters heard this, they all seemed very excited, and they started to yell: "Zhenguo artifact? What artifact?"

"Is the artifact a Dao tripod?"

"Has the artifact been snatched away by someone?"

Wait for their voices to fall.

Tianjiu Mingshi answered one by one: "What exactly does the artifact look like? I have never seen the real body! According to several great kings, this artifact is the Dao tripod. No, if they really stole the artifact, how could they be beaten by the Gouye people at the door of their house? Fellow Daoists, don’t you think so?”

"Hahaha!"

Several demon masters roared with laughter: "Yes, yes! I just hope that the Gouye people will fight to the death and beat up these Hexi people. It is best to beat them all to death. If both sides can die, that would be even better! "
