Perhaps it was the ray of spiritual origin that Cheng Ling gave him. Among the many uncles and aunts, Jiang Daoqi's favorite was precisely the uncle who had been sitting in front of the weeds.
Every day, he would spare some time to accompany Cheng Ling. The two of them rarely communicated and just sat silently aside. Sometimes, after Cheng Ling breaks the formation, he will say something to him. Every time he spoke, Jiang Daoqi felt inexplicably happy.
Uncle Cheng Ling knows too much about the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and the magical Frog Prince. Every story made him long for Cheng Ling's hometown and the outside world.
But he knew that they were trapped in a magical place, and Uncle Cheng Ling was trying to find a way to take them away. Sometimes, he would practice swordsmanship in front of Cheng Ling for a while, but at this time, Uncle Cheng Ling changed from his usual kindness and became very strict.
Every time you practice swordsmanship, you must be meticulous. You must practice basic swordsmanship for two hours every day. You must not relax even if you are not in front of him. Gradually, a tacit understanding seemed to be formed between the two, and they spent at least two hours together every day.
Although Cheng Ling focused on breaking the formation, he could also consciously persist. It's just that in the recent period, Cheng Ling told him fewer and fewer stories, and the time he spent teaching swordsmanship was also shortened sharply. He knew that Uncle Cheng Ling was trying to take them away, so he wouldn't disturb them and would just sit with them for a while every day.
The light gradually faded and another day passed. Liu Yun moved her body, trying to call Jiang Daoqi back. Xie Feng shook his head without saying a word. In the past three years, everyone except the Four Demon Generals and Zhong Changsheng, who came back later, have almost become accustomed to such a life.
I put aside all the grudges in my heart, and besides practicing every day, I spent time with Jiang Daoqi. The small body serves as a bridge of communication between humans and demons. By chance, Cheng Ling said to him: "Fellow Taoist Xie Feng, just work in this direction. Dao Qi is very obedient and will be a great help!"
Therefore, after more than ten years of getting along, Xie Feng had very complicated feelings towards Cheng Ling. There is jealousy, fear, admiration, and gratitude. Gradually, it finally became less sinister and cruel than before, and became a little more gentle.
Bai Yiyi and Xi Yan stood there quietly, looking at Cheng Ling's thin body and pale hair, not knowing what to say. They had long known about the relationship between Cheng Ling, Liu Qingyan and Gu Youlan. Over the past ten years, everyone has formed a deep friendship, which is hard to see.
It's just that while I feel miserable in my heart, I also feel unspeakable pity. One can imagine how heavy the pressure was on Cheng Ling. At this moment, what else could there be to complain about? Not to mention Liu Qingyan, Gu Youlan and their friendship, they were willing to accompany them even for Cheng Ling.
Day after day, the hourglass of time never stops. There are only three months left in the year, and the node has been cracked to the 108th point. This is due to the fact that the Life and Death Barrier has reached its peak, and the cracking speed is many times faster.
The last node is even more mysterious. It is already the core of the formation, and the loss of mental power cannot be compensated by simple repair. The Yuanshen Pill has been used up and can only be replaced by the Restoration Pill refined by Xi Yan.
Unfortunately, the power of the Restoring Pill is nearly half that of the Yuanshen Pill, and the recovery time is greatly extended. In order to ensure the deduction time, he had to temper his willpower again, and the only two dark red blood evil stones on his body were consumed.
One hundred and eight nodes are already the last nodes of the Lost Formation. As long as it is broken, a way out can be revealed.
Finally, another two months passed. Mysterious lines flashed in Cheng Ling's eyes like an overwhelming force, and it was difficult to find any gaps among them.
The death ban has reached its peak!
The body trembled, and all the one hundred and eight nodes connected in a line, like the lines of a constellation, connected together. His hands moved slightly, and a long series of handprints were made at a speed that even his spiritual consciousness could not catch. One hundred and eight nodes glowed with a dazzling light.
In an instant, one hundred and eight beams of light shot up into the sky, penetrating the shrouded demonic energy, and pointed far into the sky, as if they were going to line up with the stars in the sky.
After a long time, the whole earth trembled slightly. With Cheng Ling as the center, a wave of water-like fluctuations radiated and spread far away. The scene before everyone's eyes became completely clear. The originally gray sky turned into blue sky and white clouds, and all the evil energy dissipated.
On the ground, the weeds disappeared and were replaced by a flat piece of white jade. Under the sunlight, it shined with pure white light, and there were traces of green hidden in it, which was indescribable elegance and wealth.
Looking forward along the ground, there is a palace-like building. The walls of the palace are a little gray and full of history.
Cheng Ling stood up, turned around and said, "Everyone, the formation has been broken. That palace may be the direction we are leaving from!"
Everyone suddenly woke up from the changes around them, the haze in their eyes dissipated, and they were filled with excitement and disbelief. Looking around, I could not imagine the endless plain of weeds. In fact, it was just a palace square with a radius of thousands of feet!
As Cheng Ling stood up, Jiang Daoqi was the first to follow, and everyone behind him also followed suit. After waiting for so long, I finally have the hope of leaving, how dare I fall behind others.
When I came to the palace, I looked carefully and saw no traces of the formation ban on it. Cheng Ling stretched out his palm and with a little force, the heavy door opened with a creak.
Entering the palace, there was no furnishings inside, and there were no entrances or exits around it. It was just an empty hall, and the ground was covered with dust. Cheng Ling's eyes swept around and finally focused on the ground.
The dusty place has some faint marks that are different from the corners. Slowly walking forward along the traces, after walking for a while, I felt that the ground under my feet was a little different. With a wave of his sleeves, a little dust on the ground dispersed, revealing a floor tile inlaid with copper rings.
Cheng Ling stretched out his hand and touched it gently. The floor tiles seemed to be moving. He grabbed the copper ring and lifted up the floor tiles. A deep passage goes straight down from the ground to no one knows where.
His consciousness scanned the inside of the passage and found nothing, so he walked in first. Liu Qingyan, Jian Yinghao and others followed without hesitation, and Xie Feng, Liu Yun, Jiang Daoqi, Eunuch Hai, and Qinghuang entered one after another. The remaining five people hesitated for a long time, and finally had no choice but to follow in.
As we moved forward, the passage was very dark at first, and we could barely see the path ahead. But after a while, it gradually started to light up again. After walking for a long time, the passage began to widen, with huge pearls inlaid on both sides, and the road in front of me instantly became easier to walk.
It's just that the topography of the passage keeps going downwards, and I don't know where it leads. After walking for a day, there is still no end in sight. On the second day, the passage remained the same, and on the third day, it still went straight down. The four demon generals gradually lost their composure and said, "Are we trapped in the formation again? Why is there such a long passage? Could it be that it leads to the bottom of the sea?"
Everyone was shocked. If the Blood Demon Continent was really an island, it was very likely that their current location was under the sea. Cheng Ling paid no attention and continued walking forward.
He didn't say anything, and the others could only follow. The four demon generals and Zhong Changsheng were confused, but at present there was only this path and they had no choice but to continue to follow it.
maybe they
My guess was correct. The passage continued downward for ten days, but there was still no end. According to the estimated distance, it is already more than 50,000 meters above the ground!
Cheng Ling continued to ignore it. For him, the passage in front of him must be the only exit. No matter how long it was, he must continue. If you want to follow, just follow, if you don’t want to be dragged down by me! Liu Qingyan and others also had this mentality and completely trusted Cheng Ling. As long as he didn't stop, they would always follow him.
The weird route made people feel scared, so they continued walking for ten days. Finally, the passage stopped going downwards and began to move horizontally and flatly. After walking for a while, they came to an open place. It seemed to be a hall, with a stone table randomly placed in the hall. There was a picture of dead bones next to the stone table, but nothing else was found.
Cheng Ling slowly approached while observing the withered bones. There is nothing special about the dry bones, they are exactly the same as ordinary human bones. I saw him half lying on the stone table, with his head bones resting on one arm, and the other arm hanging down, only the upper half was visible.
Cheng Ling had a vague feeling that the owner of the withered bones must not be simple. He gradually approached, and when his consciousness swept over it, he discovered that there was actually a storage ring on the bones of his left hand hanging down. Because it was blocked by the stone table, it was invisible to the naked eye, and behind them were Liu Qingyan and others. He moved in his heart, turned sideways to block his hanging arm, and quietly put away the ring.
After putting it away, he looked around and saw that there were no other entrances or exits. It seems that reaching here is the end of the passage, but there is no way out.
Everyone was immediately confused and walked for more than twenty days. There are only ten days left before the thousand-year reincarnation period, and yet we find such a skeleton, with no way out.
Zhong Changsheng was the first to attack and said to Cheng Ling: "Cheng Ling, what do you want to do by bringing everyone here? There are only less than ten days left. It is impossible to leave here, and everyone's lives will be lost." In your hands!”
The four demon generals also cursed angrily, accusing Cheng Ling of misleading others and himself, and wasting their chance to escape. Yuan Kongcheng's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Qinghuang looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he was accepting his fate, but he didn't clamor for an explanation from Cheng Ling.
Liu Qingyan and Jian Yinghao looked at each other, feeling sad. It seemed that this place was not the exit. Cheng Ling had tried his best!
Cheng Ling waited for them to scold each other for a while before saying coldly: "When I entered the passage, did you please come in with me?"
The four demon generals and Zhong Changsheng were speechless for a moment.
Cheng Ling continued: "There are still ten days left. You can leave if you want. No one will stop you, and no one will invite you in. In short, I will stay here and won't leave!"
The five people stretched out their fingers and said tremblingly: "You...what do you mean? You caused us to take the wrong path and are still making sarcastic remarks here. Okay! Anyway, the thousand-year reincarnation period is approaching, if we die I will drag you to be buried with me!"
Zhong Changsheng even encouraged: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Qinghuang, Fellow Daoist Xiefeng, and Ancestor Zidian, can't you still see the true face of this person? For the past ten years, he has been playing tricks on him. In the palm of your hand, if you don’t wake up suddenly, it will be too late!”
Before the four of them could speak, Jiang Daoqi's childish voice shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Cheng Ling is not a bad person, but you are just trying to take advantage of him and follow him all the way. It is really an eyesore!"
Zhong Changsheng's eyes widened and he was filled with anger. When was it the turn of a little child to teach me a lesson? He cursed angrily: "You half-demon bastard, when will it be your turn to teach me, come and die!"
In anger, he lost hope of leaving. He completely revealed the disguise and slapped a child who was only four years old without hesitation!
