Cheng Ling and Wu Tianfeng searched the route for most of the day, almost returning to the edge of Tianhu Lake, but still did not find any side roads.
Cheng Ling's face was gloomy. There were only two possibilities for this situation. The first is that the man in black and Liu Qingyan really jumped off the cliff, and it would be extremely difficult to track them down!
Second, there must be another passage here, but I can't find it myself. Unfortunately, you can't use your spiritual sense here at all. The search range is extremely limited and you can only rely on your eyes. In other words, that channel can only be opened through some kind of mechanism.
This is a bit of a headache. The area at the cliff is so large that trying to find the place where the mechanism opens is like looking for a needle in a haystack! But after much deliberation, he still preferred the second possibility. After all, the various behaviors of the man in black along the way did not seem like he was going to a dead end.
Returning to the cliff, Yin Luoyao and others rushed to greet them. Just seeing Cheng Ling's gloomy face, he couldn't ask questions for a moment, so he turned his attention to Wu Tianfeng.
Wu Tianfeng shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not found any other passage.
Yin Luoyao sighed secretly and said: "Junior brother Cheng, it seems that they probably went down from the cliff. Why don't we try to see?"
Cheng Ling stood by the cliff and watched the turbulent water wash away at the cliff. Over the years, it became extremely smooth and there was no place to start. It was not an easy task to get down from the cliff.
He was silent for a long time and said decisively: "Senior Sister, everyone, I have an intuition that the man in black definitely did not go down the cliff. There must be some mystery in it. Let's look carefully and see what we find next to the cliff."
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, everyone could only agree. At that moment, the seven people divided into blocks and started searching.
The sound of the water and waterfall was very loud, and the rumbles continued to reach his ears. The noise gave Cheng Ling a splitting headache. He walked towards the top of the cliff, trying to find a secluded place to think seriously.
The entire cliff is more than a hundred miles long. The seven people are scattered in every corner, and the area to be searched is still very large. Time passed slowly, and three days passed before I knew it.
They searched during the day, and the light was too poor at night, so they could only rest.
Cheng Ling stood a long distance away from the six people, looking at the shining stars in the night sky and thinking hard. After so many years, I could finally see Liu Qingyan again, but I didn't expect it to end like this!
And there is another point. I had received news about Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie in the fairy world before, and now I have met Liu Qingyan. From this, it can be deduced that there are not a few monks from the Luochen Sword Sect in the Star Realm who have ascended to the fairy world. It is very likely that Jian Yinghao, Xie Feng, Wu Chenlong and others all flew up.
These all need to be verified from Liu Qingyan. Therefore, whether it is for herself or for the many relatives and friends in the star world, she must find a way to find him.
It was very quiet under the night sky, and Cheng Ling sat motionless like a sculpture.
for a long time......
There was a sound of footsteps behind him. Cheng Ling turned around and saw Ye Qiuhe slowly walking over and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Sister said that tomorrow Senior Brother Three and I will go down to the bottom of the cliff to see if we can find any clues. , and the others continue to search.”
Cheng Ling knew that they were also worried about him, so he swallowed the words to stop him and said, "The cliff is steep. Third Senior Brother and Junior Sister Ye have their intentions. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
"Yeah!" Ye Qiuhe agreed and was about to leave, but when she turned around, her feet hit a raised rock. She couldn't help frowning, bending down and groaning.
Cheng Ling stood up and asked, "Junior Sister Ye, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just a stone on my foot."
Cheng Ling glanced over and saw that the stones were square and smooth, not that they were naturally formed. With a thought in his heart, he came to Ye Qiuhe and said, "Don't move, let me take a look first!"
After saying that, he bent down and looked at Ye Qiuhe's feet.
Ye Qiuhe's pretty face turned red. In fact, Cheng Ling's move seemed a little more intimate. But after a moment, I heard him say "Hey" and said: "There is something strange about this stone. I didn't notice it a few days ago. Junior Sister Ye, be careful when you take out your feet."
Ye Qiuhe slowly put his feet back as he was told. Cheng Ling stretched out his hand to touch the rock and saw that there seemed to be some lines carved on it, but there were only a few sparse stars in the sky, so he couldn't see clearly.
He immediately said: "Junior Sister Ye, there is something strange about this rock. Go back and tell Senior Sister not to go down the cliff tomorrow. We will take a closer look."
Ye Qiuhe agreed and went back to deliver the message.
Cheng Ling has been sitting next to the stone, carefully stroking the lines on it, and connecting them bit by bit. It seems that there are several big characters "Tongtian Bridge" engraved on it, and below the row of big characters, there seems to be a row of small characters, but the font is very small. It's vague and unclear.
He could only sit aside and wait patiently. When the sun rose, he might be able to see clearly the mystery on the rock.
Early the next morning, Yin Luoyao brought everyone to Cheng Ling's place early. At this time, Cheng Ling had completely seen the appearance of the rock!
It was not a simple rock at all, but a stone tablet. However, the lower half of the stone tablet was mostly damaged by the erosion of wind and rain over time, and only a few extremely small words could be seen. It reads: "Using blood as a guide..., across the chasm..., forbidden..., no bones left, etc."
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed, restriction? There is a restriction here, and the fairy essence and divine consciousness of the Demon Spirit Continent are all sealed. Could it be that the existence of this stone tablet was before the Demon Spirit Continent was formed?
He stood up suddenly and came to the edge of the cliff again. This place is already a long way away from the waterfall, and the mountains are steep. At first glance, there is only hazy mist, and you can't see the bottom at all. The whistling mountain wind blows the vegetation on the mountain, and the wide cliffs are silent. Even the birds can't see them. Not one in sight.
quiet!
It was too quiet, and unnaturally quiet.
Such an abnormal situation made Cheng Ling not surprised but happy. Based on his many years of experience in array formations, there must be some kind of ban here. But how to solve the mystery of the ban? Without Xianyuan, no matter how high your formation level is, you will not be able to create the formation-breaking hand seal.
The Holy Eye of the Netherworld cannot be opened, and the trajectory of the ban cannot be seen at all.
He thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a matter of time to treat a dead horse as a living doctor!"
After saying that, Cheng Ling went back to the stone tablet and said, "Everyone, I thought of a way to find a way out, but I'm not very sure about this method, so I can only try my best!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but Yin Luoyao finally made the final decision and said: "Junior Brother Cheng, just let yourself go and do whatever you want. If you need anything, ask at any time and we will do our best to help!"
Cheng Ling said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Sister! Did you see the words on this stone tablet? It says Tongtian Bridge, indicating that there should have been a bridge here. But we have searched for so many days and have not found any stone bridge. Mark of."
"Contacting the small words below, it says blood as a guide, crossing the chasm, prohibition, etc., I speculate that this place should be banned. We have lost all our cultivation, and conventional cracking methods will definitely not work. Then We can only take a gamble and use our blood essence to break the ban here!"
The six people heard it in disbelief that there were still people who could set up bans in the Demon Spirit Continent. But they knew that Cheng Ling most hoped to track down the man in black and Liu Qingyan, and they could never make any assumptions.
Yin Luoyao pondered for a while and said: "In that case, just do what Junior Brother Cheng said! I don't know how to use blood essence to break the ban."
Cheng Ling said: "The only information we have so far is this stone tablet, and you see, in addition to these words, there are some strange grooves on the stone tablet. These grooves combined together look like a pattern."
"You mean to inject blood and essence into these grooves!"
"Yes, as a test, I will inject the essence and blood first. Please protect me from the sidelines!"
After saying that, Cheng Ling took out the Han Light Sword and cut the veins in his hand, and the pure blood slowly flowed out and poured into the groove on the stone tablet.
In less than a moment, the stone tablet buzzed softly, and there seemed to be a burst of blood. Red blood slowly flowed along the groove. But these grooves look very shallow, but the demand for essence and blood is huge.
Cheng Ling felt that he had injected about one-third of the blood, and less than one-fifth of the texture on the grooves was visible.
Wu Tianfeng took a step forward and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, you take a rest for a while, I'll do it!"
After saying that, he walked to the edge of the stone tablet, cut his wrist, and poured the essence and blood into the groove. In this way, another third is injected, and the texture in the groove is revealed to two-fifths.
This time, Yin Luoyao took the lead and injected blood essence as well. In this way, except for Jin Yanrong and Lu Xueqing, each of the seven people injected about one-third of their blood essence. The texture on the stone tablet suddenly emitted a faint red light. Gradually, the red light became thicker and thicker, and the textures gathered together. Eventually a mysterious pattern is formed.
After the pattern appeared, there seemed to be a phantom rising slowly from the stone tablet, directly into the air, and then suddenly exploded. After the red light in the sky completely covered the seven people, it moved towards the opposite cliff in circles like ripples.
After a long time, the red ripples finally reached the cliff on the other side in the distance. I saw the empty valley between the cliffs, as if a big stone had been thrown into a calm lake. Layers of blood-red halo appeared from the center of the empty valley, slowly spreading outward until it covered the entire valley.
Everyone felt their eyes brighten, and the scenery in the valley changed instantly. An illusory overpass, several feet wide, extended into the distance, gradually becoming clear and solid. In the distance of the stone bridge, where many white clouds were entangled, it seemed that there was something. The shadow of a magnificent palace appeared.
The palace stood in the air. After a moment, layers of stairs composed of white clouds extended downward from the outside of the palace until they reached the top of the bridge, where they stabilized.
At this time, the valley was filled with birdsong and ape cries, breaking the original silence. Everyone looked down and saw that the fog under the valley had dispersed. A calm lake reflected the scenery of the cliffs and valleys on both sides like a mirror, making the whole scene fairy-like and picturesque, and extremely beautiful.
