"This is the realm of the sea of suffering. There is a beautiful and passionate woman. The place where she once lived was called the realm of the seven-emotion sea of suffering." Yi Yuan explained softly. This was the voice that emerged from the bottom of his heart. He felt that there was no Nothing to hide.
Shangguan Lang looked at Yi Yuan in surprise. He knew all these secrets. He couldn't be related to the master here, right? Or maybe it's her bloodline, otherwise no one would react... Then he thought: If that's the case, wouldn't he be a descendant of the ancient demon?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Lang looked at Yi Yuan carefully again. The Five Elements Spiritual Roots were definitely confirmed, and there was no trace of demon cultivation on his body. Moreover, Elder Hong Xiao personally brought him back to his school. His father had also been in Shangqing before. I have practiced cultivation before, and no matter how I look at it, I always look like a child.
Then, Shangguan Lang shook his head again, feeling that he was thinking too much. The next second, he felt frightened and felt that he was being targeted by something. He was in a bad mood, even a little aggrieved. I just made random guesses in my mind. He paused but didn't say anything. Who is targeting me? He felt that the next experience might not be very good, and he might miss the great opportunity.
Then, Yi Yuan straightened his body again and whispered softly: "The verses you just heard in your hearts are different from the verses floating in the air."
Lei Fan and his party were stunned, and looked over, only to hear Yi Yuan's explanation. The verses in the air, from right to left, were:
"Crossing the Sea of Bitterness: Humans are not humans, demons are not demons, love is unforgettable, and emotions are difficult to calm down. When I came, I had no trace of a spring dream, but when I left, I felt like I was in love with nowhere to find it.
With eyes wide open, everything is left behind, wandering around, the soul disappears, resentment enters the heart and the sea of bitterness fills the years of infatuated love. "
Shangguan Xue calculated in her mind that there were fifty-five characters in total, which were exactly the same as the strange characters floating in the air. She glanced at Yi Yuan secretly, becoming more and more curious about him.
Ye Xiaoming also compared it secretly, and found that the number of words was exactly the same as what Yi Yuan said. He immediately communicated with Lei Fan and others in a low voice for a while. They were the first to know the meaning of the strange words, but they still couldn't figure it out. Then each of them was secretly vigilant and turned to look at the strange characters in the air.
The strange characters in the sky became more and more radiant. Yi Yuan looked at the stone table inadvertently. The surface that had taken off the writing was uneven and scattered. It looked like... it looked like a ghost face token. The patterns on them are the same, including crying and laughing. There is a concave area in the middle that seems to be just enough to place the grimace token.
As if to verify Yi Yuan's conjecture, the strange characters in the air bloomed with brilliance and then entered the Grimace Token one after another. The light slowly disappeared and everyone was able to look directly until all the strange characters disappeared. The Grimace Token's brilliance was restrained. It seems to be smiling but not smiling, and it seems to be crying but not crying.
When Fairy Yueyan of the Yin Yue Sect was about to take away the token while everyone was unprepared, she saw the Grimace token falling straight on the stone table, just in time with the dented piece that Yi Yuan found, and it fit perfectly. stuck together.
Everyone gathered around the stone table, looking at each other, guarding each other, but no one made the first move, and no one dared to grab the ghost face token on the stone table. Even though they knew that the Ghost Face Token was taken from Yi Yuan of the Shangqing Sect, they simply ignored it.
When Lei Fan and his party were about to surround him, they were stopped by Yi Yuan, who said in a low voice: "No! There is no need to surround him. Being close is not necessarily a good thing. We can just watch from a distance." "
The stone table seemed to have become spiritual. Seeing that everyone was just watching but not fighting for it, it became very angry. This was not in line with the reaction that a monk should have when exploring a secret realm. It spun around two or three times, but everyone was shocked to retreat. took several steps.
Now that the stone table felt satisfied, it moved slightly towards Yi Yuan. A small recessed hole was revealed on the original ground, and a mysterious carved stone box was placed inside. The dust looks like it is full of the peeling marks of time.
Everyone's eyes immediately shone brightly, and they were all staring at the mysterious stone box at the entrance of the cave, and they were always on guard. After staying in this place for so long, worrying for so long, and finally seeing the treasure, everyone was ready to make a move.
"Why don't you go and fight for it? Our hope is still very high." Lei Fan stared at the mysterious stone box in the hole on the ground. He calculated it and found that their group's chances of winning were still very high, so he couldn't help but say.
"We can't go there! There is danger inside this stone box. On the contrary, we have to move further back." Yi Yuan hurriedly refuted his request and asked his companions to move further back.
Linghuhong believed in this senior brother's sense and stepped back ten feet to express his attitude. Everyone looked at each other and no longer hesitated, and retreated one after another. Anyway, with so many people, who would get the stone first? Box, it is estimated that the attack will definitely be inevitable, it is better to wait and see what happens. Moreover, this mysterious stone box was predicted to be dangerous by Yi Yuan, so it cannot be faked. Just watch others perform quietly, the key is that it is very safe.
Secretly noticing the retreat of Lei Fan and others, Fairy Yueyan of the Yin Yue Sect also made a decision with her eyes flowing. She quietly informed the disciple Gao Mei'e and her group behind her. They also calmly retreated a lot, preparing to Be a spectator.
Zhou Jinchu also noticed the abnormal behavior of Yi Yuan and his group. He frowned, and then everyone in the Yinyue Sect also retreated a lot. He felt a little more at ease. He secretly transmitted the message to his companions behind him and started to fight for it. Don't take action when the situation arises, wait and see what happens, and act based on my eyes. He believed that Lei Fan and his party would never act without aim. Although he didn't know the reason, he should be cautious.
When everyone else saw someone retreating from a distance, especially Fairy Yueyan, a master of the late Jindan stage, they immediately relaxed a lot. The biggest threat was given up, and then their chance came.
Someone secretly waved an air current, and a gust of wind blew through the stone cave on the ground. The dust on the mysterious stone box floated, and the onlookers did not shy away. After the dust settled, the patterns on the stone box appeared, and they were astonishingly similar to the Ghost Face Token. The patterns on them are exactly the same, alternately covering the entire box surface.
"The pattern on this stone box is consistent with the pattern on the stone table. It's like a grimace, smiling but not smiling, crying but not crying." Someone suddenly discovered this commonality and couldn't help but point it out.
Everyone came back to their senses, looking at the stone table and the mysterious stone box, scanning back and forth, and sure enough, they were exactly the same pattern. Now the stone table left on its own initiative, revealing the location of the mysterious stone box. There must be good treasures in this stone box.
While everyone was looking back and forth at the pattern, someone had already secretly used his spiritual thoughts to absorb the stone box. Unfortunately, it was in vain. The stone box was stuck tightly to the ground and there was no response. Now he became anxious and quickly passed the ground. , when he reached out to grab the stone box, everyone who had reacted was furious, and all kinds of attacks hit him like rain. He was instantly beaten into blood mist, and his soul was gone.
He was the first person to die after entering the world of Seven Emotions and Bitter Sea, and he would never be the last person. His body was beaten into blood mist and was absorbed by the mysterious pattern on the stone box.
When everyone saw this scene, their scalps went numb. No one could bear the blow from everyone. If they wanted to snatch the stone box, they would have to die to do so.
Suddenly, everyone became more cautious, and no one took action first. The first move is fatal. After practicing for so long, everyone still cherishes his life.
Yi Yuan watched all this from a distance, feeling a little helpless. A voice just told him that there was a demon seed in the stone box, which was destined to him. Once someone else opens it, the demonic seed will turn into mist. Everyone here will not be spared and will become possessed by the demon. Only by cultivating demonic skills can there be a chance of survival.
If possible, Yi Yuan wouldn't want to get his hands on this demon. Even if he didn't, he would be possessed by it. If he got his hands on it, hello, me, hello, everyone. He let out a long sigh, his expression very helpless.
Shangguan Lang on the side looked at Yi Yuan hesitantly, but heard him say loudly: "Fellow Taoists, no one wants to get their hands on this mysterious stone box at the moment. How about I get my hands on it and open it for everyone to see?" , if there is a treasure, who wants me to give it up, how about it?"
Yi Yuan's words successfully attracted everyone's attention. This was the peak Qi refining monk among the Shangqing sect. They had already secretly communicated with each other and knew that the other party had the strength to overpower the foundation-building monks. Unfortunately, his qualifications were average. , destined not to go far in the future. Although they were surprised, they didn't think so. Now that they heard what he said, it seemed to make sense.
But no one among the people dared to take the stone box. It was better to let him open it and take a look. It would not be a disadvantage for everyone, but would reduce unnecessary casualties.
Several forces among the crowd secretly communicated with each other, and finally agreed to the plan, and then simultaneously signaled to Yi Yuan that he could take action.
Lei Fan and his party all looked suspicious. Yi Yuan had just asked them to stay away, but now he had to open the stone box alone. It looked like a thankless job, and it was dangerous. It's all right, your life is in danger, why can't you think about it?
"Yi Yuan, you can't go, it's too dangerous." Shangguan Xue said anxiously, the worry on his face clearly evident.
When Lei Fan and others looked over, Shangguan Xue's pretty face turned a little red. She hurriedly explained: "I'm worried that he is in danger. With so many people besieging him, I won't be able to please anyone. Once a treasure appears in the mysterious stone box, I don't want him to get hurt."
The words of concern that were originally expressed were now even more unclear. Everyone understood in their hearts, when did this happen? well! Now that the opportunity is gone, they are all secretly sad.
Shangguanlang was really in a bad mood. When did sister become so interested in Yi Yuan? Has your sister ever cared about you so much? When reminding himself, he strikes first most of the time, and he gets beaten up a lot.
He looked at Yi Yuan, trying to see something from the other person's expression, but found nothing. The other person didn't look at him at all. He felt very frustrated, but his sister looked at Yi Yuan solemnly. , seemed to be listening to Yi Yuan's explanation.
