After entering the city gate, Qingya took Qingyi and walked straight into the city. In front of you is the entrance to the Buddhist Kingdom. You can see many shops and vendors on both sides of the street. On the long street, there are also teams of Maharoga sergeants wearing armor patrolling.
Qingyi glanced over, and found that these vendors were generally not of high cultivation, and their attire was not very luxurious. They should be Vaisyas and Sudras belonging to the third or fourth level.
At this time, the attire of the two women also changed slightly. They were no longer the standard disciple attire of Fanhua Temple, but the regular attire. They just wore a gauze hat on the head and a few strings of agate beads hanging on the body. It was neither luxurious nor fancy. , and different from ordinary civilians.
After all, Qingya has a lot of experience and knows that when walking in the Buddhist country, it is not allowed to wear the traditional clothes of Fanhua Temple, and ordinary gray robes are also too shabby.
The Buddhist country is a country in the secular world, and the people there know how to take care of things. Today's attire can not only hide Qingyi's peerless beauty, but also prevent people from looking down on her and causing some trouble.
Flying is prohibited in the city, but the two of them are still very fast. When they first entered the area behind the city gate, most of the people living at the bottom were low-class people. As long as they didn't take the initiative to provoke them, there would be no obstacles. The most important thing in front of them was Cheng Ling's body. Both women knew this.
After walking for a long time without stopping, she finally passed through the city. Qingya breathed a sigh of relief. She had passed the first hurdle. But she did not stop to rest, but continued to move forward.
In front of you is a forest of stones. These stones stand upright one by one. Each one is about ten feet high, like a pagoda. Only through this stone forest can you reach the heart of the Buddhist Kingdom, Heart Leaf City, where the real danger lies.
However, the stone forest is not without dangers. There are many ferocious beasts in it. Due to the continuation of the caste system for countless years, there seems to be a gap between the third, fourth and fifth level Buddhist people and the first and second level. It is difficult for level five civilians to enter Broken Leaf City.
Only through continuous hard work and dedication of massive resources and wealth could they be directly sent to Broken Leaf City by the eight tribes in the city through the teleportation array. Therefore, few strangers enter this stone forest, which can also be said to be a natural defense zone in the Buddhist kingdom.
The identities of the two women simply prevented them from entering Suiye City through the teleportation array. In desperation, they had no choice but to go through the stone forest.
As Qingya and Qingyi entered, the ferocious beasts in the stone forest immediately roared, but as soon as the roar came out, they immediately became silent. There seemed to be an aura permeating the bodies of the two women, making all the ferocious beasts slightly If you feel it, your body will tremble and you will not dare to make any sound.
It's just that the road in the stone forest is very twisty and Qingya has never entered it before. She can only move forward deeper while looking for the direction. She originally wanted to fly through the stone forest, but unfortunately as soon as she flew up, she felt a huge resistance, and there seemed to be a layer of restriction above.
Whenever night comes, Qingya will find a safe place to rest where there are relatively few ferocious beasts. Because during the night, the ferocious beasts in the stone forest will become more violent, and a layer of mist will rise in the stone forest, which will greatly weaken the spiritual consciousness of the practitioners.
Qingya took out the coral wood coffin from the storage ring, while Qingyi tidied up the temporary living area. After that, the two women looked at Cheng Ling's stone statue in silence.
It has been a year since I returned to Fanhua Temple from the bloody wasteland to this stone forest. There are more and more small cracks on the stone statues, and they are obviously deteriorating.
A moment later, Qingya sat cross-legged in front of the stone statue, bit her fingertips, and a drop of pure blood exuding rich vitality fell on the stone statue. After the stone statue emitted a faint red light, it flickered several times, and the blood was instantly refreshed. There was no trace after entering.
Qingya's face changed, and she was about to bite it again. Qingyi stopped her and said, "Sister, let me do it!"
After saying that, without waiting for Qingya's objection, she also bit her finger and a drop of blood came out. This time, the red light on the stone statue was obviously much stronger, and it lasted for three breaths before disappearing.
"Just in the past day, the stone statue's demand for essence and blood has doubled. I don't know if it can hold on like this." Qingya sighed secretly in her heart, with a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
As the old woman said, the stone statue transformed by Cheng Ling only needed a drop of blood essence to maintain the red light for three breaths the first time, but it actually doubled the amount the second time. As time goes by, the amount of blood and essence required will increase. With the cultivation level of the two women, they don't know how long they can last.
The vitality of essence and blood gathered by the essence, energy and spirit is not like ordinary blood. The quantity condensed is very small, and it also requires the support of huge immortal energy. Just like what Cheng Ling saw before, the essence and blood extracted by Jiang Haoyang from the Immortal Emperor Stage monks were only the size of a fist.
However, there are still some differences between the two. Jiang Haoyang's method is forced extraction, and the monk's immortal energy is not integrated together. Moreover, the amount produced by subjective refining is much larger than that of forced extraction.
The night passed quickly, and the two women continued their journey the next day. However, there were too many passages in the stone forest, and the stone forests almost all looked exactly the same. As soon as the two women started searching for the way, they quickly lost their way.
At this moment, Qing Ya's face turned ugly. It had been five days and she still hadn't left this stone forest. Many times she could see the marks she had made before, apparently returning to the same place.
Qingyi had no choice. Even if he made a mark every step of the way, he would still be stunned by the dense stone forest and could not find the exit at all.
The two women sat facing each other with depressed expressions on their faces, and they had no idea for a moment. After a long time, Qingyi said: "Senior sister, let's simply destroy these stone forests and forcefully carve out a passage."
Qingya thought about it for a long time, but there was no better way, so she had no choice but to agree. When it was daytime, the two women couldn't wait to start, and started to destroy the stone forest as they moved forward.
However, these stone forests are extremely numerous, and some ferocious beasts appear from time to time in the forest. When the two women started making moves, the commotion became louder. Some powerful beasts were attracted by the sound and gradually gathered around them.
The two women had no choice but to kill them. As a result, the progress was even slower. After a whole day, we only advanced less than a hundred miles. The hardness of the stone forest was beyond their expectations, and the number of ferocious beasts also slowed down the process.
The sun sets in the west and another day passes. A rough calculation shows that a month has passed since entering the stone forest, and the exit is still far away.
By this time, the fossil statue created by Cheng Ling required more and more blood essence. Just a drop of blood could no longer satisfy it. Instead, it needed to be smeared all over the stone statue with blood.
Every night, the two women would stand in front of the stone statue, bite their fingertips, and smear the whole body of the stone statue with blood. The stone statue was very rough, and if they rubbed their wounded fingers on it, they would feel severe pain, but the two women But he was looking at the stone statue's eyes, as if he didn't know the pain.
The stone statue is as big as a human being. If they want to smear the whole body with blood, often the blood on their fingers will smear in the middle of the process. Whenever this happens, she will tear off the blood smear, squeeze out the blood again, and continue to smear.
After time and again, the pain is comparable to torture!
Day after day, this kind of pain is more unimaginable than any torture in the world!
Every time blood is smeared all over the body of the stone statue, the stone statue will slowly absorb the blood, and there will be a faint luster on it, as if it has regained some vitality. Even its old appearance has undergone subtle changes!
At the beginning, it would take a whole day for the blood to be smeared all over the stone statue to be completely absorbed. But as time went by, gradually, the blood would dissipate in ten hours, requiring the two women to apply it again. .
In the second month, the stone statue needs more blood and essence. The two women continued to open roads and kill ferocious beasts during the day, but they did not dare to rest at night and had to gather their essence and blood to smear the stone statues. Their vitality is diminishing day by day, and their formerly delicate faces are beginning to look haggard.
It’s just that every time the stone statue is smeared with blood, its expression looks beautiful...
In two months, the luster on the stone statue became brighter and brighter, and its appearance slowly changed from an old man to a slightly younger one.
It's just that the faces of the two women are getting paler and paler. They have lost a lot of blood, and they still contain the essence of energy and spirit, making them like blooming flowers that are slowly withering.
However, what made the two women happy was that the efforts of the past two months did not seem to be in vain. The stone forest was almost at the end, and their consciousnesses swept to the open space ahead.
Through this simple and stupid method, after unremitting efforts, a passage was finally opened in the stone forest. And as it gets closer and closer to the exit, the level of the beast is also decreasing, making it easy to kill.
Finally...three days later, they finally walked out of the stone forest.
A smile appeared on Qingya's tired face, and she said to Qingyi: "Junior sister, we finally succeeded. Let's repair it now for a few days. We don't know what kind of difficulties are waiting for us in the future."
Qingyi also felt very tired. The long battle gave her a deeper understanding of swordsmanship. The Thousand Flowers Swordsmanship had reached its peak, and she could practice the Ten Thousand Transformations Swordsmanship taught by her master at a single step.
But in two months, the two women lost a lot of vitality, and their cultivation level also fell from the peak of Immortal Lord Perfection to the first stage of Perfection. Fortunately, they still had the healing elixir given by Cheng Ling. After five days of recovery, they no longer wanted to stay where they were and planned to move on.
The days that followed were a little calmer. According to the classic records, after passing through the stone forest, and then passing through a dense forest area, you can reach Broken Leaf City.
Not surprisingly, there are also many ferocious beasts in the dense forest, but these ferocious beasts are inferior to those in the stone forest. The two women advance extremely fast.
In fact, this was also specially set up by the Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom. The ferocious beasts in the stone forest and dense forest were on the one hand to prevent civilians and untouchables from escaping, and on the other hand they were two layers of natural barriers.
Ten days later, the two women walked through the dense forest again and finally arrived in front of Broken Leaf City.
This is a very magnificent building complex. Looking from a distance across the city wall, there are pagodas dozens of feet high everywhere. Qingya knew that it was the residence of Kshatriyas and Brahmins. Although these pagodas were high, there were very few people living in them. Almost every pagoda only allowed a dozen people to live in them.
The people living inside are all powerful men from the heavenly and dragon tribes, as well as priests with transcendent status. Under the pagoda, there are some small buildings, which are slaves and untouchables that serve the priests and those in power.
