"We are already far behind fellow Daoist Shangguan and the others. Let's leave quickly."
"That's what Fellow Daoist Jiang said."
Watching Shen Luo leave the background, a trace of resentment flashed in the corner of Du Jie's eyes, and then quickly disappeared, and he followed with a normal expression on his face.
In another passage, middle-aged Shangguan Hongming, Wu Yazi and Ye Mei were walking in this narrow stone passage.
Not only is the internal space of this passage too narrow, there are also wisps of green smoke on the ground, overflowing from the ground and filling this passage.
The stone walls on both sides of the passage are also stained with cyan smoke and dust all the year round, and become cyan as if they were covered with cyan wallpaper.
The green smoke emanating from the ground is caused by the miasma and poisonous gas in the cave all year round. Anyone who comes into contact with this green smoke and poisonous gas will undoubtedly die.
However, the middle-aged Shangguan Hongming and the other three, who are golden elixir stage immortal cultivators and have miasma-avoiding talismans affixed to their bodies, are not affected by the green smoke poisonous gas at all. Even if they do not have miasma-avoiding talismans affixed to them, their magic power will automatically resist the poisonous gas.
After the three of them walked for a certain distance in this narrow stone path, the space of the stone path gradually became wider, and a place similar to a stone cave hall appeared in front of them.
This hall is about twenty feet in size and is extremely spacious and empty. There are many carvings on the wall in the west corner of the hall. It seems that the tadpoles are so densely packed that they cannot understand the red characters.
On the other side of the wall corresponding to the red characters, there is a protruding human-faced monkey head statue. The sculpture is lifelike. The monkey head statue has its eyes closed, as if it is sleeping.
Wu Yazi took a look and saw the red characters engraved on the wall, as well as the statue with a human face and a monkey head. He asked the middle-aged Shangguan Hongming: "Brother Shangguan, what do the statues and characters on the wall here say?"
The middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming looked at the red characters and the human-faced monkey-head statue on the wall. He didn't understand clearly and shook his head, "I'm not very clear about this either."
"But I think there is something carved on this wall, it seems a bit like some kind of special spell." The middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming held his chin in his hand and looked at the red characters on the stone wall in front of him.
Ye Mei, a woman in red, stared at the red characters on the stone wall with her beautiful eyes, and said thoughtfully: "The red characters engraved on the wall look very familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere."
"Um?"
"Fairy Ye has seen the characters above, can you tell us about the information on the wall?" middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming said.
"The characters are carved on the walls. They are not some special spells, but a kind of obscure formation."
"Array text?"
"Fairy Ye, you mean that where we are now is a forbidden magic circle?" Wu Yazi asked.
"Yes, if I guessed correctly, the eye of this forbidden array is that statue." Ye Mei, a woman in red, pointed to the human-faced monkey-head statue on the other wall with her jade hand.
"Doesn't this mean that as long as we break the statue's eye, we can unlock this forbidden magic circle and restore the previously suppressed consciousness and forbidden air flying ability?" Wuyazi asked in surprise.
"No, the formation that can suppress our spiritual consciousness and forbidden air flight cannot be solved by breaking through one formation. A huge formation like this with wide coverage must have several formations to control and maintain the huge formation. The magic circle operates."
"And the little girl is sure that in addition to the prohibition circle here, there is also a formation eye similar to the one we have here at the end of the passage where Jiang Daoyou and the others are walking."
Wu Yazi: "Then we need to tell Fellow Daoist Jiang and the others what we have discovered here?"
"No, Fellow Daoist Jiang is also an array master. I think he knows how to deal with it."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's break the restriction of this formation first."
Shangguan Hongming and the other three looked at each other, and together they took out the magic formula, and then shot out a spiritual light towards the statue with a human face and a monkey head.
"boom!"
The spiritual light hit the statue, and the statue with a human face and a monkey head broke. A ball of black light burst out from the inside of the statue and landed on the ground not far from the three people.
The moment the black light ball landed on the ground, a human-like monkey scream came from the light ball.
After a moment, the black light group fell and passed away. A monkey-faced monster with humanoid legs and black hair, holding a black iron rod and fierce red eyes, stood in front of Shangguan Hongming and the others.
"Demon soul?"
Wu Yazi just let out a surprised sound when the monkey-faced beast said nothing, swung the stick in his hand and smashed it away.
At the same time, on the other side of the sink, he and Du Jie were in the same situation as the middle-aged Shangguan Hongming and the others. They all came to an empty hall.
Each hall has its own wall with red characters and a stone statue with a human face and an animal head.
The stone statues here are different from those of the middle-aged Shangguan Hongming. The stone statues of the middle-aged Shangguan Hongming have a human face and a monkey head, but theirs has a human face and a fish head, which is very strange.
"Fellow Daoist Du, it seems that we have arrived at the center of a magic circle." Shen Qiu watched for a while and said in red characters on the stone wall.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, is this the center of a forbidden array?" Du Jie said in surprise.
"Yes, the object that is regarded as the formation eye should be this statue. As long as we destroy this statue, we can break the formation eye."
With that said, Shen Luo flicked his finger, and a purple sword light was shot out, flying towards the statue with a human face and a fish head on the wall.
"boom!"
When the statue of a human-faced fish-head with closed eyes was shattered, a ball of black light flew out from the inside of the statue and landed in an open space not far from the two of them.
One was covered with dark green fish scales and had two legs. Behind it was an ugly monster with a long fish tail and a human face and a fish head.
It held a harpoon in its hand, its green eyes flashed, black smoke emitted from its body from time to time, and it stared at Shen Luo intently.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what kind of monster is this? Is it a demon spirit?"
"No, that's probably not the case. The thing in front of you is not the soul of a demon beast in the transformation stage, but rather a bit of a human soul, fused with the soul of a demon beast."
"Look at the black energy emanating from it, which is obviously caused by resentment. With such overwhelming resentment, this person must have suffered some kind of pain in his life, and then he was fused with the soul of the monster beast using special means." Shen Luo said in a deep voice.
"I never expected that the world of cultivating immortals still has such extraordinary skills and tricks."
"The world is so big and full of wonders, not to mention the mysterious and unpredictable world of immortality."
"That's what Fellow Daoist Jiang said."
"This spell caster is quite capable. He can actually come up with a wonderful way to fuse the soul of human beings with the soul of monster beasts." Du Jie sighed.
"It's just a crooked way." Shen Luo snorted disdainfully.
"That's what Fellow Daoist Jiang said."
"My generation of monks cultivate the path of immortality. Although there are infinite manpower and there are accidents and killings, it is nothing comparable to this evil way, which turns people into monsters that are neither human nor ghosts."
"That's what Fellow Daoist Jiang said."
