Method?
In the wasteland shrouded in thick fog, the frowning Wei Huayang heard these two words and looked at the "little star official" behind him in surprise, not caring in his heart:
I can't do anything about it, so what can you do?
But she finally chose to listen, her eyelashes trembling due to moisture and dew:
"Tell me?"
Ji Ping'an stretched out a hand and said, "Give me my bag."
Wei Huayang also gave him the Taoist scriptures, but he forgot the spatial tips bag.
The female head teacher did not hesitate, reached into her arms, took out a brocade bag and threw it over, her eyes filled with anticipation, wanting to know what he could come up with.
Ji Ping'an took it smoothly, feeling the temperature on it with his fingers. He hesitated for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the latter's heart.
Finally, when he raised his head, he met Wei Huayang's sneer eyes and the thin sword that bounced half an inch.
"..." Ji Ping'an looked away, flicked his wrist, and took out the second kit from the space kit.
Matryoshka dolls belong to yes.
At the same time, he remembered in his mind that before setting off from Yuhang, the old supervisor was visiting Laoliu Street in the early morning, Yi Jingzhai, and gave him this kit.
"This thing is given to you. If you encounter a crisis that is difficult to solve, you can open it and take a look. It may be helpful."
Qin Tianjianzheng's words were still in his ears. At that time, the kit was sealed by the "star power" and he could not open it. He judged that it would open on its own when needed.
At this moment, the two of them were being chased by the Four Holy Sects and trapped in an area shrouded in thick fog, which they could not break with their cultivation.
Is this a “hard-to-solve” crisis?
Ji Ping'an thought and looked at the kit.
As he watched, the power of the stars lingering on it collapsed on its own. The black-based brocade bag embroidered with gold threads was suspended in the air. The knot opened on its own, and a bright light shot out from it. It turned out to be a white sheet. of paper.
The white paper quickly folded in mid-air and turned into a paper crane. Its wings trembled, and little stars fell down.
Wei Huayang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up at the paper cranes circling above the two of them.
One circle, two circles, and then it seemed to have figured out the direction, and it flapped its wings and flew slowly in a certain direction.
It's really possible... Ji Ping'an was startled and realized that the paper crane was essentially a "talisman" drawn by a star official. It could sense the direction of the prisoner and return to it.
The prisoner is in Yuhang. So, you can point them in the right direction.
"Follow it!" Ji Ping'an said, and Wei Huayang took one step earlier, spreading his legs, and the two of them chased the paper crane and moved forward quickly into the mist.
After a while, the paper crane suddenly began to adjust its direction and fly in the opposite direction.
This was undoubtedly extremely unreasonable, but the two of them did not question it and followed suit in silence.
After experiencing several changes in direction, the scenery presented in the thick fog began to change, and a huge canyon exit appeared in front.
"It does work!"
The two of them were refreshed and walked out of the valley, but the front was still shrouded in fog. However, with the assistance of the paper crane, although their speed was affected, they were heading in the right direction.
"Well--"
After an unknown amount of time, a roar came from the front, and the two stopped subconsciously. Ji Ping'an raised his hand, and the paper crane temporarily flew back to his palm and turned into a piece of paper again.
In the white mist, the roar gradually got closer, and then individual figures emerged.
"It's iron corpses, and bronze corpses." Ji Ping'an looked solemn, realizing that as the two left the remote area and approached the village again, more and more iron corpses began to be attracted.
These corpses were dressed in different clothes, including men and women. The only thing they had in common was that their skin was blue and purple, like steel, and their eyes were dull.
The skin of the female corpse in the lead was bronze.
It is the result of evolution.
"I'll deal with it." Wei Huayang said a word, the sword in her hand was unsheathed, her boots slammed on the ground, her body leaned forward, the wind blew over her temples, and her red skirt bloomed like flowers.
Soon, she crashed into the group of corpses, the sword light flashed again and again, and the iron corpses fell down like straw.
The woman's bronze corpse was furious, her knees bent, she jumped up with a "soaring" sound, and was knocked out like a cannonball.
The tip of Wei Huayang's sword was pressed against his chest, but it was blocked by the two peaks and could not penetrate at all. With a "squeak", the thin sword also bent.
"so hard!"
Wei Huayang was startled, the blade of the sword shook, and the next second, the rapier actually broke.
After all, this is not a magic weapon after all, it is just a piece of earthly refined steel.
The bronze corpse rushed forward brazenly and smashed it out with both hands. Wei Huayang hurriedly blocked it with both arms and was thrown backwards. His blood boiled and his cheeks suddenly turned red, but Ji Ping'an gently caught it with his hands.
The two bodies came into contact briefly. Wei Huayang was stunned for a moment, turned his head slightly, and saw Ji Pingan's face with a gentle smile:
"Use my sword."
After saying that, without waiting for Wei Huayang to object, he threw the ancient sword to her and stepped in front of Wei Huayang.
Pushing forward with both hands, the vegetation grew wildly, entangling the bronze corpses and restricting their movement.
Then he clapped his right hand in the air, and flames spurted out from his palm, pressing down on the woman's bronze corpse that flew up.
"so hard……"
While letting out the same emotion, flames quickly spread from the palm of his hand, igniting the latter.
However, the bronze corpse was obviously not afraid of the fire, its face became more ferocious in the flames, and its sharp nails stabbed out and swept across.
Ji Pingan leaned back, turned his heels half a circle to the center of the circle, came behind him, pulled out the flame whip, and wrapped the latter around him.
At the same time, Wei Huayang's sword had been unsheathed, and when Ji Ping'an turned around, it pierced through the gap.
It pierced the head of the woman's bronze corpse with a bang, and then slashed hard, splitting the flame into two.
Then, the two barely communicated, but quickly cooperated with each other to eliminate the remaining iron corpses one after another.
The whole process was smooth and smooth, with tacit cooperation. If we talk about the battle outside the cave, it was still unclear.
But this time, that strange fighting tacit understanding became increasingly clear.
After the battle, Wei Huayang rested while leaning on his sword. When the fatigue subsided a little, he raised his head and saw Ji Pingan took out the paper crane again and said:
"Since we are companions, then don't think about solving the problem alone. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of trouble along the way. We can take breaks alternately. We must always maintain the ability to deal with danger alone."
Wei Huayang stared blankly at the other party's serious face, pursed his lips, and said:
"good."
The thousand paper cranes flew into the air again, leading the two of them to continue forward into the thick fog, leaving only a broken body on the ground.
…
In the next few days, as Ji Ping'an predicted, iron corpses often appeared, and occasionally they encountered killed mortals and even warriors.
"The situation is getting more serious."
Ji Ping'an made a solemn judgment.
Unfortunately, although Qian Zhihe chose the shortest path, it meant that it was not easy to walk and required many passes over mountains and ridges. The two could not find a suitable mount and could only rely on their feet.
Although the dense fog became thinner, it never completely dissipated.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that the other party is indeed very powerful, shrouding the entire Sanhuang County in fog.
Second, the other party has been following us, creating a confusing formation. The reason why we haven't gotten out yet is because the distance between us has never widened. "Wei Huayang analyzed.
No matter what kind of speculation, it is not a good thing for them.
Especially as time goes by, the two encounter iron corpses more and more often.
The number of corpses of warriors encountered along the way is also increasing.
Considering that ordinary warriors would not be able to help, after the agreement, they did not choose to involve more people, but avoided the crowd and went into the deep mountains and old forests.
In the process, the two of them accumulated more and more fatigue and tension.
"It's time to go down the mountain again."
When they once again climbed to the top of a mountain peak and looked down at the endless dense forest in the thin sea of clouds, Wei Huayang said in a tired tone.
Then he turned to look at Ji Pingan, who was also exhausted but had bright eyes, and couldn't help but complain:
"Why are you in such good spirits?"
Ji Ping'an smiled and thought it was probably because he had experienced too many escapes in the past thousand years.
There are many more miserable situations than this. Compared to those desperate situations where people are close to death, these are really nothing.
"If I keep going like this, I still can't get rid of him. Maybe we can try another method." Ji Ping'an suddenly said.
Wei Huayang sat on the ground, rubbing his calves, raising his head and looking at him doubtfully.
Seen from this angle, her slightly round face, paired with confused eyebrows, actually looks a little cute.
Ji Ping'an didn't explain, just smiled, walked into the woods nearby, and cut some wood.
Then he spread the skins obtained from the beasts slaughtered along the way on it, tied them with ivy, and soon made a huge and simple "kite".
After that, he bit his finger and traced the magic circle on the animal skin.
After some fiddling, a kite upgraded with the Taoist "Reinforcement Array" and "Wind Array" took shape.
"Come up, I'll be at the helm. You can hold my waist." Ji Ping'an stood up with the big kite on his shoulder seriously:
"This formation can last up to two quarters of an hour. We don't have much time."
Wei Huayang immediately understood what he meant. He was surprised by this little star official's whimsical thoughts, but also had a psychological conflict and did not want to have contact with other men.
Ji Pingan urged:
"Senior, men and women have to pay attention to the timing of kissing and not kissing each other. If that doesn't work, why don't you drag my leg?"
Wei Huayang was irritated. He sneered and walked over openly. However, he hesitated for a moment before making a determined effort to wrap his arms around his waist and said coldly:
"Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."
Ji Ping'an smiled and said:
"Three two one...jump!"
So on the cliff, the two of them jumped into the sea of clouds holding an ugly and huge kite.
The runes flickered and strong winds blew up, alleviating the gravity of the descent. Like a big bird, following the paper crane, it swooped down.
The cold wind blew through their clothes and hair.
"Don't move, it's hard for me to keep my balance!"
"oh."
"Don't fall backwards, lean forward, or you will fall over!"
"oh."
"Don't pull my belt, pants... pants..."
"oh!"
Finally, Wei Huayang reluctantly hugged his waist, and the swaying kite stabilized.
Ji Pingan squinted his eyes and descended into the wind. At the same time, he felt the touch on his back and his heart beat wildly for no reason.
He lowered his head, looked at the two shapely and tender women's hands in front of the belt, and was silent for a moment.
He shook his head to cut off all the charming thoughts, and said with a smile:
"We rushed out!"
Wei Huayang was distracted and distracted. He suddenly heard a sound and raised his head. He was surprised to see the clouds and mist on both sides retreating quickly.
The two of them seemed to rush out of the tunnel. The sun was shining down, and the wild mountains in front of them became clear. When they turned around, they saw a sea of solid clouds behind them.
They rushed out.
"Plop!"
Just when smiles appeared on their faces, the kite runes flashed violently, overwhelmed and completely disintegrated.
The two of them rolled onto the grass and were bruised and swollen from the fall. Ji Ping'an shook his dazed head, squinting his eyes and trying to get up, but he caught a small hand.
"..." He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he was suddenly sprayed in the face by a sword light. Wei Huayang was covered in grass blades and kicked the disciple away with a kick, sheathing his sword.
Gritting his teeth: "Get out of here."
…
…
"Great Protector, these iron corpses have been dead for a long time. It seems that we are not close enough to them."
Somewhere in the mist, a Four Saints squatted on the ground, pressed his fingers against the iron corpse on the ground for a moment, then stood up and looked at the crowd behind him.
The tall protector, wearing a purple cloak and carrying a large sword on his back, had an expressionless face, and his eyes were cold under the mask.
It seemed like a storm was brewing.
The "corpse witch" with a stooped figure and thin hair, holding a skeleton staff, played with the golden Gu worm in his palm without saying a word, with his red-green eyes lowered.
The dwarf carrying the huge white flag also stopped dancing, his face covered with fatigue.
No one spoke, everyone was shrouded in tension, unwilling to offend the Great Protector who was on the verge of rage.
"It's been three days and we still haven't found it." The Great Protector's voice was hoarse, "It's even getting further and further away."
The three-day period was what he had said before, but everyone who was full of confidence at the beginning clearly underestimated the tenacity of their opponents.
The Great Protector turned his head and stared at the dwarf with a deep gaze:
"Didn't you say that you can't escape even if you sit in a well?"
The ugly dwarf opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute. He was equally confused.
In the past few days, everyone has been searching almost everywhere. It stands to reason that even if they can't find it, they should gain something.
But in fact, judging from the corpses left on the ground, the opponent was not trapped, but his walking speed was slightly slower, but he was still fleeing firmly in the direction of Yuhang.
"I……"
The dwarf wanted to say something, but the Great Protector suddenly punched him in the air.
The whole person screamed in pain, turned somersaults in the air and fell to the ground, spitting out blood, a sharp look appeared in his eyes, but he forced himself to endure it.
The Great Protector said:
"I thought you 'ancients' were really capable, but it turns out that all of you can only brag. This is punishment. Do you feel hateful? Hey, you should be glad that you met me and not the leader, otherwise you would not still be alive. "
The dwarf's expression changed and he didn't dare to say a word.
The other believers also fell silent.
The Great Protector suppressed his anger and said:
"We all know how troublesome it will be once the other party succeeds and escapes back to Yuhang. Not only is this big event likely to be in vain, but even the remains of the magician will be lost. When the time comes, not only me, but all of you will also have to bear it. The wrath of the leader!”
His voice became excited:
"I just want to ask now, does anyone know what is going on? Why was the other party able to break through the fog and escape?!"
After a moment of silence, a tall and thin Four Saints disciple said:
"Obviously, there are only two possibilities. One is that the opponent is very good at breaking formations, or the practice system is good at breaking this way. The other is that there are trump cards given by some great monks. I personally prefer the former."
Another person also said:
"But in Kyushu today, there are not many people in the major systems who are good at breaking formations. The most likely ones are Dao Sect or Qin Tianjian. Needless to say, the former is good at astrology, and the latter may also use it to escape."
After a pause, he added:
"Of course, there is another possibility that the other party is also 'resurrected from the dead'."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
The Great Protector frowned:
"There are too many possibilities from this direction. The person who took away the magician's body should be the characters in the Qixia Town Alliance this time."
The old man named "Corpse Witch" smacked his lips and said:
"According to the intelligence, the most likely person is that 'Mr. Li'. The other party is too suspicious, has a mysterious origin, and comes from Yuhang... With such a high profile, he should not be someone who has been resurrected from the dead."
The dwarf who got up wiped the corners of his mouth and said:
"So, it should be someone from the Great Zhou side, the imperial court? Taoism? Or Qin Tianjian? The latter two are more likely. At this age, they should be some genius disciples. For example, the Taoist saint? Or the budding Ji Si Chen? Considering that the intelligence says that he is good at martial arts, the latter is more likely."
Star Officer...Ji Sichen...the Great Protector narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly he turned around and stepped forward, crossing the crowd, and came to the "Holy Maiden of the Four Holy Religions" who was sitting cross-legged on a stone with her eyes closed and meditating:
"Xue Ji, in your opinion, does the Star Officer have the ability to break through the fog?"
On the stone.
Wearing a pitch-black slim-fitting robe that outlines graceful curves, a slender white gooseneck, and long curly hair, the stunning woman opened her eyes with a sarcastic and indifferent expression:
"how could I know?"
The Great Protector said calmly:
"You are so close to the Grand Master of Zhou, how could you not know what Xing Guan is like?"
"Oh, Star Officer..." A smile appeared on Xue Ji's flawless face:
"That's pretty big. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Veins appeared on the Great Protector's forehead, and suddenly a big hand reached out and was about to grab Xue Ji's neck, but he paused again.
Xue Ji looked arrogant, motionless, and even deliberately raised her chin and said mockingly:
"Do it and see if the leader will chop off your claws."
The Great Protector roared angrily and forced himself to endure it, his eyes angrily wanting to spit out fire:
"If this big thing fails, do you think the leader will let you go?! Let me ask you again, how much do you know about the Star Official System?"
Xue Ji was not afraid and said with a cold expression:
"I'll also say it again, I did nothing with him."
"Would I believe it? If nothing had been done, would Grand Master Zhou have let you go back then? You have died once, and you still miss him?"
Xue Ji was silent for a moment, feeling a little disinterested:
"You won't understand."
Her eyes were a little distant, and her tone was mocking:
"You just need me as a 'saint', but no one has ever asked me if I am willing. They know what I want. What I want is not power, status, interests, and grand ambitions... Therefore, although the Four Saints can imprison My people, but they cannot imprison my heart.
And he is the only man who understands me. He knows what kind of life I yearn for, and is willing to help me break away from the cage and regain my freedom. He is also the best man I have ever met, ten thousand times better than trash like you.
If possible, I would rather sleep with him, but it's a pity that he doesn't like me..."
At the end of the sentence, Xue Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, her eyes sparkling.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she regained the witch's chill, and "thorns" appeared again on her body. Facing the angry eyes of the Great Protector, she said:
"A bunch of losers. If the person in front is really a star official, you won't be surprised if you lose. If a group of losers who have resurrected from history get together, the losers will only become a group of iron losers. Even his younger disciples will No match for them."
"Boom!"
The Great Protector punched the air, and a clear fist mark instantly appeared on the distant stone wall, and then shattered into spider web-like cracks.
For a time, tigers roared, apes cried, and hundreds of birds flew away in fright.
At this time, the corpse witch who was concentrating on playing with the golden Gu worm suddenly shed its skin and bloomed with a brilliant golden light.
The old man said with great joy:
"Shedding her skin! The total number of Gu worms in Sanhuang County has exceeded a limit, which means that enough martial arts warriors have been killed, and the sense of the original Gu worms in the golden Gu worms and the remains of the magician has become clearer!"
The Great Protector suddenly turned around and stared at the old man:
"What did you say?"
The Corpse Witch suddenly threw the golden Gu worm into the air. The Gu worm suddenly opened its two translucent "wings", shook wildly, and flew in a certain direction.
The old man smiled and said:
"Next, just follow the Gu worm and you can find the target."
The group of people became energetic, and the Great Protector laughed loudly. He glanced at Xue Ji, who had an ugly face, and waved in a good mood:
"Go forward! Let the other party see who is the waste."
…
After escaping from the sea of clouds, although his vision became much clearer, Ji Ping'an also found awkwardly that he was lost.
What this means is that you cannot know where you are through landmarks and mountains.
The two had no choice but to pick up their bags and continue to follow the paper crane. At first, everything was normal, but because there was no fog blocking them, the speed accelerated a lot.
But gradually, Wei Huayang began to realize something was wrong:
"Is this really the right direction?"
She used Taoist magic to try to locate the approximate direction, and noticed that the paper crane began to shift.
Ji Ping'an also frowned:
"This paper crane is the handiwork of a monk in the realm of observing the sky. It should be correct unless there are special circumstances. Let's follow it first and take a look. If it keeps going wrong, correct it."
Wei Huayang thought for a while and reluctantly agreed.
When the two followed the paper crane through a wild bamboo forest, a huge cliff suddenly appeared in front of them, with the surface densely covered with ivy.
"A dead end?" Wei Huayang asked doubtfully.
You know, although Paper Cranes lack wisdom, they rarely hit dead ends on their way.
But at the moment, the paper crane, which is all white and exudes a bit of starlight, is lingering in front of the stone wall.
It seemed like something was attracting it.
Ji Ping'an stepped forward, stepping on the fallen leaves that covered the open space, and came to the cliff. He closed his eyes slightly and activated the Aoki technique.
The countless green vines in front of him suddenly came to life, swaying slightly and conveying a message to him.
Wei Huayang watched this scene curiously without disturbing him.
After a while, Ji Pingan opened his eyes and said:
"It's not a dead end."
He raised his right hand and gently pressed it towards the cliff. As he did so, the countless ivy vines receded in all directions like seawater at low tide, revealing a huge and crude stone door.
Above the stone gate is a "plaque" carved with a knife and axe, which reads:
Xingyue Cave.
Wei Huayang was shocked and blurted out: "Is this a cave?"
Ji Ping'an's eyes fell firmly on a line on the stone door. The crooked small characters seemed to have been carved by someone a few years ago. The line of words was:
"Master Xingzhi, come here for a visit."
…
Correct typos first and then correct them
