He also told Zhao Ning that the seventh Ming Yue Card had been found and that they would meet at Feiyun Cliff in Houting Mountain on a full moon night.
Feiyun Cliff is very high, and the sea of clouds is hazy, completely covering the lower half of Houwei Mountain in clouds and mist, making Feiyun Cliff seem to be floating in the air, like a sacred mountain.
Zhao Ning had been waiting at Feiyun Cliff for a long time. She was hiding on the high branches of a big tree. The breath-hiding cloak of Yunsi had restrained all her breath. She looked into the distance with an inexplicable expression.
Hou Ming Shan, is all this a coincidence?
Soon, the sunset set and the full moon slowly rose into the sky.
At the beginning of Haishi, two very shallow footsteps came from the bottom of the mountain, and the footsteps came straight towards Feiyun Cliff.
Two ghost demons, one male and one female, one had a lotus pattern on his face, and the other had a horn on his head. They were familiar with each other. When they walked to Feiyun Cliff, they didn't notice Zhao Ning's hiding figure. They saw only the two of them. We started chatting.
"This soul tree can really resist the soul-sucking power and allow us to successfully pass through the black water?" Lotus Dark Demon was a little unconvinced.
"There are records in ancient books about a kind of wood that can be used to make black water ferries, but it doesn't seem to be called soul wood in ancient times." The one-horned ghost demon thought, "But Li Ji doesn't seem to be lying, and now we are being Trapped in the Netherworld of Cultivation, as long as we can get out, we must not let go of any clues."
Li Ji is the storyteller in the teahouse in the city.
"I have tested his skills, and his skills are indeed like Jimu Tianhe Dafa. Each time this Dafa advances, it requires a lot of treasures, especially during the foundation building stage, which focuses on cultivating the soul and requires source stones. If I guess correctly, the source stone in Ming Yue Mansion is the Yin Feng Source Stone, which is the key to his promotion to the later stage of foundation building."
Zhao Ning didn't look at them. She closed her eyes as if she was resting her mind, but the sounds on the cliff fell into her ears. When she heard the description of the One-horned Demon Demon's description of Jimu Tianhe Dafa, Zhao Ning thought they were there for a moment. Talking about Zhan Shen, it seems that Li Ji and Zhan Shen practice the same technique, but it can be called a Dafa, and they can at least practice it to the level of Yuanshen. To a large extent, these two people may come from the same family or sect.
"If he is cultivating the soul, no wonder he is not in a hurry to get the soul wood. This Nether Cultivation World is simply his holy land of cultivation." Lotus Nether Demon sighed.
The one-horned ghost demon nodded, "As long as there is no threat to Ming Yue Mansion, Li Ji does not need to be on the opposite side. It would be best to have an alliance."
Lotus Underworld Demon understood what he meant, folding his arms and looking at the vast sea of clouds sinking into the darkness, "But, senior brother, where do you think this Underworld Mansion is? It doesn't feel like the Monk's Cave that Li Ji mentioned. I feel a little uncomfortable. It feels so good, I always feel like I will encounter something difficult to deal with.”
"Experience outside, there is no danger anywhere." The One-horned Dark Demon said, "I'm not worried about the danger. I was wondering if there might be nothing left in the Mingyue Mansion."
"What does Senior Brother mean by this?" Lotus Dark Demon was puzzled.
"Have you forgotten the story about the monk's fight that Li Ji told? If my guess is correct, the monk is Kunxu Qin Keyuan."
Zhao Ning slowly opened her eyes. She did not look at the one-horned ghost demon, her eyes seemed to have no focus.
"Hiss—" Lotus Ghost Demon gasped.
"I heard rumors in the room that Qin Keyuan massacred most of the monks in Kunxu. Is this true or false?"
"I don't know the specific things, but the palace seems to be on Qin Keyuan's side. I'm afraid there is another secret about this matter."
When Zhao Ning heard what he said, she felt vaguely suspicious of their sect.
The two Nether Demons did not discuss the matter of Kunxu too much. The One-horned Nether Demon frowned and continued the previous explanation, "However, since Qin Keyuan appeared nearby, and Ming Yue Mansion appeared not long after, these two did not I don’t believe any contact.”
"But, senior brother, doesn't this Ming Yue Mansion require seven Ming Yue Cards to open? How did he get in? Could it be that he scattered the Ming Yue Cards?"
Faced with a series of questions from the Lotus Dark Demon, the One-horned Dark Demon couldn't explain clearly, but he was sure of one thing, "If I had tricked Li Ji, he had held the Dark Moon Card in his hand for at least ten years. The Ming Yue Card should have nothing to do with Qin Keyuan."
"But this..." The Lotus Demon still seemed unable to figure it out, but the One-horned Demon interrupted her, "Someone is coming."
Lotus Underworld Demon immediately stopped talking, and the two of them looked in the direction they came from.
Zhao Ning looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky. Xingyun Jianwan was placed in the House of Silent Spirit. Qin Keyuan would not abandon Xingyun Jianwan for no reason. The only possibility was to give the opponent a fatal blow by self-destructing the outer elixir, but Xingyun The sword pill was not damaged, in fact, it was intact.
Is there anything hidden in Houwei Mountain that Qin Keyuan, who is in the golden elixir realm, also finds it difficult?
At this moment, Zhao Ning began to hesitate whether to enter Ming Yue Mansion.
The one who came was the black-robed ghost demon who had fought with Li Ji that day, and he was accompanied by a dark blue-robed ghost demon. However, they seemed to have met halfway, and they were not very close to each other.
The black-robed ghost demon glanced at Feiyun Cliff, and slightly cupped his hands, "Yan Ling."
Another person also introduced, "Jiang Yao."
Seeing the two demons introducing themselves, the lotus demon and the one-horned demon also exchanged their names with them. The one-horned demon's name was Xu Xiuming, and the lotus demon's name was Xu Xu.
"Isn't Li Ji here yet?" Yan Ling looked very unhappy. He was very anxious to leave the Netherworld of Cultivation and couldn't even wait for half a cup of tea.
Xu Xiuming shook his head, "He sent us the message when the moon is full, and I'm afraid it will come to that point."
"Speaking of which, it was said that it only took about ten days to find three Ming Yue tablets?" Jiang Yao suddenly spoke up. He looked at Yan Ling, who was new to holding the Ming Yue tablet.
"That's not because Li Ji is too arrogant and just puts the Ming Yue card on his body to show off. Just one look at it and you will know that this thing is special." Yan Ling snorted.
Zhao Ning's eyes slowly fell on him, and she remembered that Yan Ling and Li Ji had a fight at that time, which showed that Yan Ling actually knew something about Ming Yue Mansion.
This gaze immediately aroused Yan Ling's surprise. At the foundation-building level, any perception projected onto oneself will be magnified and easily detected. This is the reason why Zhao Ning has not looked at Xu Xiuming and the two.
His voice made the expressions of those around him sink slightly. At this moment, Zhao Ning slowly flew down from the tree.
"It's you!" Hearing Yan Ling's attitude, although he was dissatisfied, he was not very vigilant. Those present probably knew Zhao Ning's identity, so Xu Xiuming raised his hand, "Is this girl also the holder of the Ming Yue Card? "
"Shen Zhao Ning." Zhao Ning said calmly.
Jiang Yao glanced at Zhao Ning calmly. In fact, everyone was looking at Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning let them look at her and didn't show anything.
Just looking at Yan Ling, "Fellow Daoist Yan, it seems that you know some news about Ming Yue Mansion?"
This sentence caused everyone present to focus on Yan Ling again. Yan Ling was not stupid. He knew that his fight with Li Ji that night must have aroused suspicion. But at this time, everyone knew what was in Mingyue Mansion. , hiding it may not necessarily do you any good.
"Indeed." Yan Ling readily agreed, "I heard about the records of Mingyue Mansion in a temple in Dayou Kingdom."
"Temple?" This word made Xu Xiuming stunned. In the world of Netherworld cultivation, the only one that can be called a temple is the ancient Houtu Empress Temple. How can such a temple that is almost a mythical heavenly being be compared with a small Mingyue Mansion? It's related.
"Don't you know that the Underground of the Great You Kingdom is the Youdu? And there are a total of eighteen gates leading to the Youdu. It is said that Houwei Mountain is one of the gates."
Xu Xu opened his mouth slightly, "Didn't you say that Mingyue Mansion is a monk's cave?"
"I didn't say that Mingyue Mansion is the gate. It's not strange that there is an ancient monk's cave at the door to Youdu." Yan Ling said matter-of-factly.
Nether City, a mythical place, is a dead place for these small foundation-building realms, but for tens of thousands of years, no news has come out of Nether City. The monk's cave near the gate of Nether City should not be affected. The threat from Youdu, but the only variable is that Heishuihe broke through the ancient seal and rushed out from under Taixuan Mountain. This Heishuihe also came from Youdu.
"Are you afraid something will happen to Youdu?" Zhao Ning said.
"Aren't you afraid?" Yan Ling did not deny it, "I just want to leave the Netherworld of Cultivation now. If the Blackwater River floods, maybe the evil ghosts in Nether City will come out."
Everyone fell into silence, and only he knew what he was thinking.
Zhao Ning seemed to be aware of it. She glanced at Jiang Yao and felt that something was strange. This man had not shown anything since he said a few words at the beginning. He even said such shocking things to Yan Ling. There seemed to be only superficial surprise.
But as long as Jiang Yao doesn't affect this matter, Zhao Ning doesn't want to think too much about it.
At this moment, Zhao Ning's hesitation had subsided. Since Yan Ling said this, it is possible that Qin Keyuan did not come out of Mingyue Mansion, but from the gate of Youdu.
Moreover, Zhao Ning felt that she had been misled by them just now. Although their logic was understandable, they ignored Qin Keyuan's character. If Mingyue Mansion was really caused by Qin Keyuan, it would really be a huge threat standing here. Would Qin Keyuan really ignore it and run away?
This was not the Qin Keyuan that Zhao Ning knew.
At this moment, Zhao Ning's mood had completely calmed down.
After a while, he heard footsteps again not far away. Jiang Yao chuckled, "It seems that the master who summoned us has finally appeared."
Sure enough, it was Li Ji who came with another Nether Demon. The Nether Demon was burly, wearing a sloping-shouldered animal robe, and had two long curved horns on his head. On his bare left shoulder, there was a flower. The huge beast mark was grown by the underworld pattern on its own.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." Li Ji handed over his hand when he came up.
Before everyone could respond, the last Nether Demon sneered, "You are all human beings, and you are still pretending to transform into Nether Demons. Could it be that you are showing it to me?"
His words made everyone pause for a moment. Li Ji seemed to know the temper of the underworld demon and said with a smile, "This is Wei Shuo, the underworld demon."
He emphasized it specially, and everyone understood that Wei Shuo was probably the only one present who was a ghost demon. They smiled at each other. After a while, everyone present changed back to their original appearance. Most of the foundation-building realms walking in the ghost cultivation world The monks no longer relied on the Transformation Pill, and each used the Transformation Technique to maintain the appearance of the underworld demon. After the transformation, the appearance did not change much, but the underworld lines were removed, and the skin color returned to normal.
Yan Ling looked Wei Shuo up and down, "I wonder if the Nether Demon also imagines us leaving the Netherworld of Cultivation at a glance?"
"You humans are just leaving if you leave, how can it affect the life and death of our Netherworld of Cultivation. That damn human race, if I catch him, I will cut him into thousands of pieces." Wei Shuo gritted his teeth, everyone Everyone knows that he is talking about the person who broke the seal and released the Heishui River. "I am afraid that I will never be able to solve the problem of the Heishui River if I am trapped in the Netherworld of Cultivation. I want to go outside and take a look!"
He said the cruelest words, but his behavior was concerned about the Nether Demons in the entire Nether Cultivation World.
With just a few words, everyone was no longer so repelled by the only underworld demon.
Li Ji looked around at everyone present, and finally landed on Jiang Yao, "Oh, it turns out Fellow Daoist Jiang has arrived, and Li is still thinking about whether to bring Fellow Daoist Jiang over."
It turns out that Jiang Yao is the last holder of the Ming Yue Card.
"It's just Feiyun Cliff, what's there to attract?" Jiang Yao waved his hand casually, his eyes falling on the full moon above his head, "It seems that it's already midnight, I don't know how to open the Ming Yue Mansion."
The situation on Feiyun Cliff is still the same, with thick clouds and misty silence.
Li Ji smiled and said, "Please follow me."
Li Ji has held the Ming Yue Card for more than ten years and already knows the location of Ming Yue Mansion.
"Back then, I sat on Feiyun Cliff for several years before I determined the location of Mingyue Mansion." Li Ji said as he stepped forward.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, glanced at the sea of clouds, and suddenly cast a spell, and the Ming Yue Tablet floated above the sea of clouds. Li Ji shouted, "Fellow Taoists, it's time to sacrifice the Ming Yue Tablet."
The remaining six people hit the Moon Cards into the sea of clouds in turn, and the seven Moon Cards formed the shape of the Big Dipper. At this moment, the brilliance of the full moon seemed to fall on the Moon Cards, and the first Moon Card lit up. Immediately after the second and third...all the Pluto Moon cards bloomed with brilliance, and there were few stars in the sky this month. However, at the moment the Pluto Moon card lit up, the Big Dipper stars in the north suddenly appeared, and the brilliance fell straight in front of the sea of clouds. , the sea of clouds suddenly became restless, and as the light penetrated like a sharp sword, a passage was formed.
Everyone's eyes narrowed, and they instantly understood that this was the passage leading to Ming Yue Mansion.
Yan Ling's speed was extremely fast, the Ming Yue Card flew into his hand, and he himself reached the top of the passage with his sword and jumped directly into the passage.
Nether Demon Wei Shuo also followed closely. Li Ji smiled and said, "If you don't leave now, how long will you wait?"
Everyone met and flew into the passage.
But when I first entered the passage, I found that I was not in a sea of clouds, but in a dark place. I couldn't feel the boundaries around me, but I could feel countless dark winds dancing wildly around me. It didn't cause any discomfort to my body, but my soul seemed to Gradually frozen at this moment.
These evil winds directly attack the soul!
Fortunately, Zhao Ning used the Qing Feng Shen Jue as a method of resistance. These evil winds had no way to get close to Zhao Ning. Half a foot in front of Zhao Ning, they countered with the breeze formed by the magic technique, seeming to envelope Zhao Ning. in a large photomask.
Although Zhao Ning was able to do it with ease, except for Li Ji, others were not able to resist such a sinister wind attack.
It was obvious that Wei Shuo, the underworld demon who had entered before, was trembling uncontrollably, but Jiang Yao seemed to be fine.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I am waiting to enter the underworld. The source stone of the Yin Wind will be yours. We only want the Soul Wood. You have such a great opportunity, Fellow Daoist Li. Can you resist the Yin Wind for us at this moment?" Xu Xiuming shouted, using the special power of Ji Mu Tianhe Dafa, Li Ji, who is in the Foundation Establishment realm, must have some idea.
Li Ji glanced back and looked at Xu Xiuming and Xu Xu, who looked embarrassed. Xu Xiuming's coldness even spread from her soul to her brows, and tiny frost spots condensed on her brows. Li Ji laughed, " Look at what I did, I forgot that your souls are fragile."
He spoke with a faint threat, and seemed to be telling everyone that although he was only in the middle stage of foundation building, if anyone wanted to compete with him to grab the Origin Stone, he would definitely use the Soul Technique to fight them to the death. No wonder Li Ji started from the very beginning. He didn't mention Yin Feng. He wanted to use Yin Feng to give everyone a showdown.
After forming a magic circle, circles of spiritual light spread outward from his hand skills, gradually forming a seemingly invisible defense around the seven people.
But at this moment, it was clear that he could withstand the erosion of the cold wind, but suddenly he discovered that the cold wind seemed to have changed.
"Be careful!" Xu Xiuming pulled Xu Xiuming aside. A ghost suddenly appeared from the wind and attacked Xu Xiuming from behind. Fortunately, Xu Xiuming moved very quickly and did not let the ghost succeed. Xu Xiuming was shocked and said, "Thank you very much." Senior brother."
The frost on her eyebrows trembled, and she cast a spell in an instant, and the ghost attacking from one side was immediately melted by the spell.
Zhao Ning's eyes swept across the heavy wind around him. As the wind floated, the space seemed to be constantly distorting, and the ghosts rushed towards the group of them.
Her body flashed and she quickly avoided the Yin Gui who was rushing towards her. However, just as she was dodging back, Zhao Ning suddenly felt something and moved her body, disappearing in an instant.
