One word struck the ground like a rock.
The hole in the Dharma image shrank uncontrollably.
The faces of everyone in the Qingyun Sect were also filled with horror.
Even Li Xun, Yan Hong and other Fenxiang Valley disciples couldn't help but exclaimed when they heard Dongfang Yuan's resounding and firm answer.
But soon, Lu Xueqi, who had a cold personality, got over the shock first. She didn't care about the title issue and asked:
"How do you know for sure?"
"If it's true, can you determine his location?"
"Or provide some clear coordinates or locations?"
As Lu Xueqi asked, Tian Linger and others recovered from their shock and asked various questions.
Dongfang Yuan behaved very calmly.
To be precise, it should be a kind of indifference.
Under everyone's doubtful gazes, Dongfang Yuan did not answer these questions immediately, nor did he answer these questions later. Instead, he looked around extremely abnormally, as if he was looking for something.
However, there are too few people who can still remain rational at this time. Even the Dharma Prime Minister interjected before and asked whether the Buddha's body was also buried here.
And when the Dharma Prime Minister is absent-minded, Qingyun Sect disciples such as Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger are naturally even less likely to pay attention to their surroundings!
After all, Dongfang Yuan was just talking about Daozi Lu Yuan.
As for the whereabouts of Buddha's body, it was not mentioned.
In everyone's imagination, the bodies of Daozi and Fozi were taken away together by Mozi Lu Yuan, so once one of the two bodies appears, there is a high probability that the other one is also nearby.
However, this is just speculation and assumption.
Dharma has a very clear understanding of this aspect.
But in any case, one of their purposes for going down the mountain this time already has hope.
The disciples of Tianyin Temple had only two purposes for going down the mountain this time; one was to test the attitude of Qingyun Sect and Fenxiang Valley, and the other was to find the whereabouts of Buddha's body.
If you can bring it back, then bring it back.
After all, the fate of the Buddha and the Taoist are different.
Buddha died to protect Tianyin Temple. If his body fell into the hands of the demon sect, even if it stayed for a minute, it would be a great humiliation to the reputation of Tianyin Temple.
On the other hand, Daozi.
Because Daozi is a Qingyun traitor, and he betrayed the sect in front of all the disciples and elders of the Qingyun Sect, his identity is fundamentally different from that of the Buddha. Although both of them make people in the other sect worried, But at least one can put aside the relationship openly without any loss of face.
certainly.
My heart still hurts when it should hurt.
But it's better to hide the pain than to show it.
After all, everyone cares about face.
When the whereabouts of Daozi's body was found, although the authenticity could not be verified at this moment, it at least gave everyone a hope.
But Dongfang Yuan's answer undoubtedly made everyone feel cold.
Dongfang Yuan shook his head, ignoring the hopes or expectations in everyone's eyes, and stood there and said calmly:
"I don't know where he is!"
"The reason why I knew he must be here was mainly because of the vibration just now, which made me realize something was wrong."
"I said before, this cemetery is not simple."
"Maybe the attack just now was just a little joke played by the guardian of this cemetery on you, because you have not touched the core mechanism of this cemetery, which is a person's full name."
"I don't know if you noticed it."
"The tombstones here are all arranged according to status."
"The higher the level in life, the closer it is to the inside after death."
"Because we are entering from the outside, currently calling the names on these tombstones will not cause a reaction. After all, these deceased people did not have any abilities during their lifetime, and they can be worthy of special design after death."
"And Lu Yuan should have this qualification."
"His location should be in the core area."
"So to be precise, I don't know the location."
"His full name and surname appeared in your quarrel before, and it can even be said that he was named, so it will naturally trigger the organs here."
"As for Buddha's son Fayuan's full name, I'm afraid not many people know it so far. Therefore, even if you mention the name Fayuan in your words, it will not affect the layout of the agencies here."
Having said this, Dongfang Yuan paused slightly.
He looked around and sighed immediately.
"Of course, it's possible that it's not an agency."
"Among the five geniuses, the one with the highest ceiling is actually Daozi Lu Yuan, Mozi Lu Yuan, and the one from the Blood Refining Hall. Not only do they have a large number of attack methods in their hands, but they also have one or two or several. Once they complete the layout of the extra roads to their satisfaction, almost no one can break through it.”
"The only possibility of survival is that they need to keep you alive."
"If you don't need it... you may not even know how you died."
"Therefore, even I cannot judge at this moment what the protective measures put here by the Blood Refining Hall are."
"What I fear most is not the agency."
"But I'm afraid of... this!
! "
Dongfang Yuan's tone suddenly rose.
Everyone was shocked.
Immediately, everyone saw Dongfang Yuan carefully reaching out his hand and photographing a purple-black ant from a short distance with an extremely serious expression.
Seeing this, Zeng Shushu, an "animal lover", naturally came forward to watch. However, after watching for several seconds, he could not find an accurate description of this ant from the ancient books. He couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Master Dongfang, what kind of breed is this?"
"It looks like a poisonous ant, but the shape and color have never been seen before, and the two pairs of small wings on the back of this ant are also very rare."
"Speaking of which, is this thing highly poisonous?"
"Is it worthy of your attention, Master Dongfang Young Valley?"
Dongfang Yuan did not mean to joke.
To be precise, Dongfang Yuan didn't even smile, and his face became more and more serious. He raised his head and glanced around, and then looked around at the curious expressions of everyone around him, and said in a deep voice:
"It's a type of ant."
"To be precise, this ant is not poisonous."
"Because this ant doesn't need toxins."
Saying that, Dongfang Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up the ant.
Then he stood on his head.
Two pairs of stinging teeth flashing with cold light could no longer be hidden, and sprang out from the ant's mouth, trembling brightly.
At this time, Dongfang Yuan solemnly explained:
"These should be ants cultured with the blood of a strange animal. The mouthparts of these ants are extremely sharp and have a certain paralysis effect."
"But these are small things."
"The point is, these ants have the wrong scales!"
"This kind of purple-black scales gives these ants a very solid defense. It may be destroyed with brute force, but it is also very resistant to attacks such as water, fire, thunder and lightning!"
Zeng Shu wrote clearly.
He complained casually: "To put it bluntly, it's just an ant that can resist being beaten, but the question is, who beats an ant and uses magic to bombard it?"
Lu Xueqi's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He immediately answered: "What if it's an ant colony?"
Zeng Shushu raised his eyes instantly.
Qi Hao's child's hole shrunk.
Everyone's expressions suddenly became ugly.
At this time, Dongfang Yuan slowly added:
"Fellow Daoist Lu is right."
"The more powerful a creature is, the more proud it is."
"The reason why it is difficult to cook an eagle is that it is a male eagle. If you only tame a little eagle, you will never be able to talk about the process of making an eagle."
"Therefore, when these ants form a swarm, even if we kill just one of them, we will suffer endless revenge from all the other ants; and all ants are in a swarm!"
"The only thing we can do at the moment is to hope that the queen of this ant colony does not have higher intelligence due to the characteristics of her race."
"otherwise……"
Dongfang Yuan shook his head slightly.
The next words were not spoken.
But that's not because he didn't want to say it.
But... the ants have come up!
A large purple-black mass surged in from all directions, above and below the ground. The ground was shaking slightly, and the air was filled with the harsh sound of flapping wings. Everyone present except Dongfang Yuan turned pale unconsciously. stand up.
"This thing can also fly!"
Zeng Shushu complained without tears.
People with trypophobia exist wherever they go.
Zeng Shushu is one of them.
However, Zeng Shushu’s situation is not serious.
But even if it is not serious, if you see ants surrounding you from all directions and even flying into the sky, like a dark curtain covering the sky, you will feel your scalp numb and try to avoid contact.
Zeng Shushu's complaint also won the eyes of most people at the moment; but soon, Zeng Shushu's next words made everyone's expressions change again.
"Master Dongfang Young Valley, who did you say just now?"
"This thing...is resistant to water, fire, lightning?"
Zeng Shushu's hand holding the sword was trembling at this moment.
Swallowing, he added in a low voice:
"In other words, we can only fight hand-to-hand with these ants with big teeth?"
"Besides, will you be paralyzed if you are bitten by these ants?"
Lu Xueqi's eyes suddenly twitched.
Tian Linger couldn't help but said "Hey".
The tone was full of disgust and disgust.
Even Zhang Xiaofan couldn't maintain his autistic state anymore. He turned around and glanced at Tian Linger, then took a small step and stood in front of Tian Linger: "Sister, please don't worry, even if you pay for your life, you should let me go down first. Say hello to senior brother, senior sister, just wait a little longer!"
Dongfang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Immediately, he calmly ordered Yan Hong behind him:
"Take out your gold-burning divine flames."
"That thing is extremely strong, so it should be able to control it."
"Having strong resistance to water, fire, thunder and lightning does not mean that you are completely immune to water, fire, thunder and lightning. What's more, there are many types of immunity."
"Ordinary flames have no advantage at all when faced with special flames, and the flames may even engulf the flames."
"So don't be afraid."
"The rest of the disciples can also use flames to protect themselves."
"It's just that, depending on the attributes, the effect of the flames containing cold and cold attributes will be much weaker. Try to get closer to the flames with blazing attributes."
"In short, don't be careless just because you have a special flame and think you can push through with this special flame; especially you, Li Xun, this is not the time for you to show off!"
The pride on Li Xun's face instantly disappeared.
He glanced at the ant colony not far away and sighed helplessly.
His Cold Soul King Flame is indeed of Yin and Cold attribute.
Talking about things as they happen is indeed of little use.
After hearing Dongfang Yuan's instructions, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley calmed down. They all summoned flames of different colors, and then they tried to get closer and wrapped the three disciples whose flame attribute was Yin Han in the middle of the team to strengthen these three people. security.
But the Fa Xiang and others from Tianyin Temple, as well as Lu Xueqi and others from Qingyun Sect, could not calm down after hearing Dongfang Yuan's instructions.
Disciples of Incense Valley have special flames.
It can really ensure your own thoroughness.
Moreover, Dongfang Yuan, the genius, is still in charge.
But they have nothing!
For a moment, both the Master of Tianyin Temple and Lu Xueqi of Qingyun Sect, including the disciples behind them, all looked anxious.
Lu Xueqi's personality is relatively deserted.
Qingyun Sect’s style has always been like this.
Try not to ask for help if you can.
After all, asking for help comes at a cost.
If Lu Yuan was still there, even if he had not gone down the mountain to practice or was not currently in the team, Lu Xueqi and others would dare to temporarily borrow Lu Yuan's name and ask Dongfang Yuan to provide some powerful protection.
After all, only when a person is alive does he have everything.
It's not that you can't die.
It’s just that if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
But Lu Yuan is gone!
Therefore, even if Lu Xueqi, Qi Hao and others did not talk openly, they could see the psychological burden in each other's eye contact.
On the contrary, Dharma Xiang didn’t think so much.
He glanced at the ant colony that was less than two hundred meters away from him, and his expression changed slightly. He glanced at Lu Xueqi and others at Qingyun Sect, and a trace of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said:
"Master Dongfang Young Valley, please wait for me for once."
"My Tianyin Temple is not good at magic."
"In hand-to-hand combat, even facing these beasts is restrained."
"Therefore, the young monk asks Master Dongfang Shaogu to consider whether he can provide us with some support. After all, we don't know what dangers there will be later. With the physical fitness of the young monk and the junior brothers behind him, it is still possible to explore a way!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Yuan nodded calmly.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, he did not go to make things difficult for everyone in Tianyin Temple. Instead, he waved his hands generously and made arrangements:
"It makes sense."
"Then you stay behind my Incense Valley!"
"Let me, Fenxiang Valley, take the lead in this battle."
"The rest, it's up to you whether you can survive!"
"Isn't this arrangement reasonable?"
The Dharma Prime Minister was overjoyed and nodded quickly.
Although they were behind Fenxiang Valley and could not join the ranks of Fenxiang Valley to maintain absolute safety, this receipt was enough to satisfy him.
After all, Fenxiang Valley has no obligation to protect the people from Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect, and it has no obligation to include the people from Tianyin Temple after establishing a safe zone.
Especially since there are no casualties yet.
Therefore, there is no reason to require Fenxiang Valley to arrange the people of Tianyin Temple in the safe zone established by itself. The Dharma Prime Minister knows this very well.
But the reason why the Dharma image makes you feel satisfied is mainly because of the psychological gap caused by comparison.
Tianyin Temple follows Fenxiang Valley, which is equivalent to following the vanguard of the team. In other words, it is the safest place.
On the other hand, everyone in Qingyun Sect.
Since he didn't speak, Dongfang Yuan didn't speak either, so he was naturally placed at the end of the team, which was the main direction of the ant colony's siege.
After all, pick the soft persimmons!
Therefore, Fa Xiang happily brought the disciples of Tianyin Temple to the back of the team in Fenxiang Valley and formed the defensive formation of Tianyin Temple.
At present, only the Qingyun Sect members were left standing there in disbelief. At the same time, Lu Xueqi also began to simply dispatch troops.
At this time, the ant colony was less than 80 meters away.
Lu Xueqi had a slight sweat on her forehead.
It's not that I'm nervous.
It was just a cold sweat out of pure anxiety.
She only had so much power in her hands. No matter how she arranged her troops and mobilized her troops, she could only turn a small house with air leakage from all sides into a fragile but airtight little house.
Once it hails...
It needs to be broken, but it needs to be broken!
But at this moment, Dongfang Yuan came over.
"Do not worry."
"There's absolutely no need for you to be anxious."
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly, turned to look at the young master of Fenxiang Valley, and suddenly realized that no one except her seemed to have heard these two sentences.
Sound transmission into the secret?
Lu Xueqi subconsciously thought of this technique.
This is a spell developed by Daozi Lu Yuan during his lifetime.
It is also an extremely practical little spell.
At present, it is only spread among high-level people and Dazhu Peak.
If there are ordinary disciples who want to learn, generally speaking, they need to pass the master's assessment. If they think they can really concentrate on learning these small spells without combat ability, they will be granted the qualification to learn.
After all, in this era, the first goal is to live as long as possible, and the second goal is to ensure that while living longer, one does not die prematurely due to some battles.
Therefore, lethal spells are often the first choice for disciples of all sects. Even the head leader or elders will give priority to recommending these lethal spells for disciples to learn.
Lu Xueqi was not familiar with this trick.
It was what Master Shuiyue had just taught her before going out.
However, this little spell is not too difficult.
Therefore, Lu Xueqi was just about to use the small magic of sound transmission to question Dongfang Yuan, but she was interrupted by Dongfang Yuan's smooth words.
"Give it to his little senior sister."
"When necessary, let his little senior sister cut his palm."
"The blood of high-level creatures, even if it has been diluted to a certain extent, will make all low-level creatures afraid to approach it."
"If you are not afraid of getting dirty, you can even smear some of her blood on your face or some important places to ensure that you will not be attacked."
"But there's no need to apply too much."
"A drop of blood should be able to ensure protection for about one meter around the point where the blood falls, so there is no need for you to smear yourself into a lake of blood for safety."
With that said, Dongfang Yuan took out a shiny folding knife from his arms, opened it with a swing, then held the blade of the folding knife and handed it over.
Lu Xueqi looked surprised.
He looked at Dongfang Yuan who turned around and left, then at Tian Linger, gritted his teeth in his heart, and finally decided to trust the young master of Fenxiang Valley for once.
Those who have nothing to fear often have something to rely on.
Since the other party is in charge of the people of Tianyin Temple, there is no need to leave their Qingyun Sect alone, unless the people of their Qingyun Sect do not need care or protection!
Therefore, when the ants marched to a distance of less than fifty meters from everyone in Fenxiang Valley, Lu Xueqi had already told every Qingyun Sect disciple this simple conversation and the folding knife in her hand.
After listening to these two instructions, everyone had a look of surprise and uncertainty, and they all looked at Tian Linger. Then they seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions couldn't help but relax a little.
Zeng Shushu asked in a low voice: "Did the basin of Daozi's blood play a role?"
Qi Hao turned his head slightly and whispered: "It's possible."
"But how did the Young Valley Master know?"
Zeng Shushu looked curiously at Dongfang Yuan not far away.
Qi Hao shook his head slightly.
He doesn't know either.
Lu Xueqi didn't know either.
However, I still listened to Dongfang Yuan’s opinion.
He lifted up his sleeves, dipped his fingers into the blood on the back of Tian Linger's hand, and wiped it on his arm. Then he wiped the remaining blood on his trouser legs to ensure that the protection range was perfect.
Seeing this, the other Qingyun Sect disciples also imitated Lu Xueqi's actions, leaving two inconspicuous blood marks on their arms and trouser legs.
certainly.
Tian Linger doesn't need it.
However, Tian Linger still waved his hand.
After confirming that a few drops of blood were splashed on his body, he used the healing technique and followed the team calmly forward, neither hurriedly nor slowly.
The tranquility of Qingyunmen is incompatible with the environment.
The Faxiang and others from Tianyin Temple were naturally curious about this, but they soon ran out of chance because the entire team had already rushed into the ant colony.
The overwhelming black tide, accompanied by the sound of exploding liquid and the fishy smell from time to time, put everyone under great psychological pressure.
Ahead, the flames remained steady.
Behind, the people from Qingyun Sect have disappeared.
After all, there are too many ants.
Even the screams that sounded from time to time would be quickly drowned out after a second or two. Even if Faxiang tried to save him, there was no chance of saving him!
He could only watch helplessly as his junior brother was trapped in the overwhelming black tide, as if he was trapped in a dark swamp, being gradually swallowed up, and in the end not even his bones could be seen!
certainly.
What the Dharma cannot see, the people of Fenxiang Valley cannot see either.
Fenxiang Valley was already at the front of the team. In such a difficult environment, how could he still have the time to review what the people behind him were like?
They can only choose to move forward.
Following the memory, we walked towards the entrance of Wanbat Ancient Cave.
But the people from Qingyun Sect who were following behind Tianyin Temple and using the flames emanating from the people in Fenxiang Valley as their guideposts, were walking through the black tide with a look of horror on their faces, as if they were going shopping.
The horror was not due to the fact that I was passing through.
But because...
"One...two...three..."
"There are currently five people left in Tianyin Temple!"
Zhang Xiaofan reported the numbers without emotion.
Lin Jingyu was behind Zhang Xiaofan, responsible for confirmation.
Burial was out of the question.
On the one hand, they don’t have the energy.
On the other hand, they have no idea.
They only collected three corpses and three magic weapons of good quality, and handed them over to Lu Xueqi, who kept them on her behalf.
Other than that, they were really shopping.
certainly.
There are also people who vomit while shopping.
For example, Zeng Shushu.
Another example is Tian Linger.
Even Lu Xueqi couldn't help but retched twice before she restrained the urge to vomit when she saw the three bones that had been chewed into pieces.
"I feel like he is still with me..."
Tian Linger, who had just finished vomiting, leaned weakly on Lu Xueqi's shoulder, closed her eyes, and muttered softly.
Hearing this, everyone's footsteps slowed down.
Lu Xueqi turned her head, took a deep breath, and blinked her slightly moist eyes vigorously, then turned back and comforted softly:
"Yes."
"We all thought he was always there..."
