Li Ji was not embarrassed, "Li just knows some tricks."
He saluted Wei Shuo, the underworld demon, "Don't blame me, fellow Daoist Wei, I just think that important source stone treasures such as the Yin Feng Source Stone should be kept with me, so I came up with the intention of exchanging with you. But who would have thought that there would be nothing in this dormitory?" No. Besides, the new place that Fellow Daoist Wei went to is the alchemy room, so I think he will gain a lot from it."
If it weren't for calculation, it would be the underworld demon Wei Shuo who made more money. Wei Shuo is not as simple as the yin and yang weird talk.
A few people chatted for a while, and when they saw Yan Ling coming over, they all knew Yan Ling's situation with a quick glance.
"It seems that the most productive person here is Brother Yan Ling." Li Ji said with a smile.
Yan Ling was not angry and just raised his new finger, "Yes, I earned a finger. This finger is worth 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
At this point, everyone present laughed.
Zhao Ning looked at him with an unchanging expression, but it was not so superficial. The raw bone flower repaired all the hidden damage in his body, as if he had gone through a cleansing of muscles and marrow, making his true energy more pure and powerful. Well, if we fight Li Ji again, I'm afraid there won't be another draw.
After a while, Xu Xu also came back. Everyone asked her questions as usual, but she just smiled and took out a triple dagger, saying that this was the only thing she got.
No one believed it, but no one exposed it, and there was no need to expose it.
The clearing became quiet, and the six of them were waiting for Xu Xiuming to return, but they did not see him after waiting for nearly three hours.
"Senior brother, will something happen?" Xu Xu said worriedly.
"Maybe he got some treasure and is enjoying himself." Yan Ling rolled his eyes and said.
Xu Xu glared at him, "Let's go find senior brother. If something happens and the Ming Yue Card is missing, will there be any changes in the house?"
Everyone exchanged looks, and her statement was possible. However, before everyone could take out the Ming Yue Card, they suddenly noticed something unusual, and saw a building behind the hall suddenly burst into flames.
Xu Xu was surprised, "Senior brother?!"
She was about to rush forward without hesitation, but she heard a thud from behind, and Xu Xiuming was thrown out by the Ming Yue Card in a panic.
"Brother, are you okay?" Xu Xu rushed to help him. He waved his hand and looked up with a gray face.
Zhao Ning remembered that he went to the Library Pavilion. Could it be that he burned down the Library Pavilion and it ended up like this.
"Nothing." Xu Xiuming stood up. Apart from his appearance, everyone did not look at the place where the fire was rising. Every building in the cave had restrictions, and it was impossible for the fire to spread.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what's going on?" Li Ji asked, "Did you encounter something?"
"I didn't encounter anything, I just encountered a strange thing." Xu Xiuming suddenly held out a stack of books, "Just take a look at these books and see what you can see."
Everyone picked up a book, and when they picked it up, they discovered that the appearance of these books seemed to be carved from the same mold.
There were exactly seven books. Zhao Ning picked up one of them and opened it. As expected, it was the same as from the perspective of Mingyue Mansion. There was no word. However, the only difference was that the surfaces of these books were originally different.
"Why are there no words?" Others also noticed the abnormality.
"Wordless Book of Heaven?" I don't know who picked up the name casually.
Xu Xiuming was helpless, "It seems that there is no way to find the answer here."
He put the book he kept in his hand back into his storage bag and asked, "Have you got the soul wood yet?"
Seeing him looking like he was going to find the soul wood, everyone was confused by the series of operations he would perform when he came back, so they had to stop him no matter what.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, don't you want these books? Maybe there is a supreme Dharma hidden in them?" Jiang Yao teased.
Xu Xiuming explained, "I felt that these books were all the same. I entered the library and saw tens of thousands of books, which seemed to include records of all things in ancient times. However, when I flipped through them, I found that they were all wordless. . There must be other restrictions in this library. I spent my whole life learning and finally unlocked the restrictions. All the books became the same model, but still without words. In this way, if you say that each book is different, But I don’t believe it anymore.”
"Everyone, please take it. If one day you have the opportunity to solve the mystery in the book, please let Xu know. It can be considered as repayment of Xu's gift of the book."
"Haha. Fellow Taoist Xu is indeed a disciple of a great ancient sect. I can't compare to him with such a character." Li Jiyi handed over his hand, "If we really solve the mystery in the book, maybe we can get together again."
"Li Ji, don't make any predictions for no reason, you magician." Underworld Demon Wei Shuo stuck the book on his belt and glanced at Li Ji angrily.
Li Ji apologized and smiled.
Zhao Ning touched the paper in the book. It didn't look like ancient paper, but it wasn't animal leather either. She couldn't tell the material.
She glanced at the place where only black smoke was left, "Where did this fire come from?"
Xu Xiuming was a little embarrassed, "Shen Xin lifted the ban, but he didn't want to prevent the backlash of the ban when he lifted the ban. That's why the fire broke out. Speaking of which, there is one more thing that Xu forgot to mention. These seven wordless books are in It was still intact in the fire and was brought out by Xu. It is absolutely extraordinary, so please pay attention to it."
"It's natural." Li Ji responded and looked at everyone, "Can you see where the soul tree is?"
But everyone looked at each other with confusion.
Zhao Ning knew it.
From the perspective of Ming Yue Mansion, the leafless tree grew in the backyard, but Zhao Ning would not tell them directly that the quiet room was in the side hall and could not see the backyard at all.
"Let's go and take a look at the back." Jiang Yao said at this time, "It is rumored that the soul tree has no leaves or branches and looks very ugly. I would never plant it in front of the palace."
This easy-to-understand logic made everyone who was still trying to use magic to find it temporarily speechless.
But it was true that Jiang Yao's speculation could not be refuted. The group followed Jiang Yao's steps backwards, and Zhao Ning still fell at the end.
From the verandah to the backyard, Xu Xiuming passed by the burned-out library halfway. He glanced at it guiltily, and Xu Xu joked softly beside him, "Senior brother, if Master finds out that you burned ancient books, I will have to send you to the ice cave." .”
"Junior sister, good junior sister, please don't tell anyone." Xu Xiuming clasped his hands and begged, "Otherwise, senior brother, I won't even be able to see the Supreme Elder's birthday."
The Library Pavilion was not burned to the point of collapse. The frame of the Library Pavilion was still standing. For some reason, Zhao Ning always felt that the shape of the Library Pavilion seemed familiar.
"Miss Shen?"
Xu Xu's voice interrupted Zhao Ning's thoughts. Seeing Xu Xu look back at her in confusion, Xu Xu smiled and said, "Miss Shen, what are you looking at? Hurry up, Fellow Daoist Yan and the others have disappeared without a trace."
Zhao Ning responded slightly, her pace quickened, but at a moment she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the library.
She found out why this library looked so much like the library in the House of Silent Spirits.
In Zhao Ning's consciousness, objects related to the House of Silent Spirits would almost never appear in Kyushu, which made her subconsciously exclude the Palace of Silent Spirits when she was thinking about it.
It's not entirely consistent. This library is probably in a state where the library is "cut off at the waist."
She glanced at the people in front of her without leaving a trace, and only took a deep look at the burned library. She did nothing else but followed their pace.
Not long after, the group of people saw the forbidden soul tree in the backyard.
Nether Demon Wei Shuo pursed his lips and said, "Brother Jiang, I think you are right. This thing really won't want to be in front of the main hall."
"I have never seen such an ugly tree." Xu Xu whispered, this weird wood impacted her aesthetics.
It was a piece of dead wood that was more than ten feet tall, with three people hugging each other. The bark on the surface of the wood seemed to have been soaked in decaying water for tens of thousands of years. The color of the bark could not be seen, and the texture of the bark could not be seen. Moreover, this piece of wood was It was hollow, and the top seemed to have been gnawed by a giant object. It was uneven, with a few pieces of bark crumbling, and three horizontal lines cracked on the tree, which seemed to form the eyes and mouth of the soul tree.
"Li Ji, are you sure this ugly wood is the soul wood?" Ming Yao Wei Shuo asked in disbelief.
Li Ji stated the introduction seriously, "The soul tree, also known as the evil ghost pestle in ancient times, is a natural spiritual creature that can restrain the soul of the gods."
Imprisonment of souls? In other words, this spiritual object can carry them across the Blackwater River. In fact, it imprisons their souls in the soul tree to prevent them from drowning in the Blackwater River.
Zhao Ning's eyes moved slightly, "But I don't know whether this soul tree is alive or dead at this time?"
"I'm afraid..." Xu Xiuming stretched out his hand and pressed on the restraint. Before he could detect a ray of consciousness, he heard a roar in his soul, which shocked him and took a few steps back.
Xu Fei flew over to stabilize him, but saw that his expression was extremely sluggish, as if he was stupid. Fortunately, he could only be in this state for three or two breaths.
He shook his head, adjusted his breath slightly, and woke up.
Xu Xiuming has the gift of restraint, otherwise he would not have unlocked a layer of mystery in the library. He was sure of the Soul Exploring Wood restraint, but he almost capsized in the gutter.
Everyone was surprised to hear a lazy sound, and saw three horizontal stripes on the soul tree's body opened. The two horizontal stripes that looked like eyes were burning with cold flames, and the horizontal stripes that looked like mouths appeared when they opened. Several intertwined long chains seemed to have sewn his mouth shut, but several of the long chains were broken and hung at the corners of his mouth.
So I heard it chirping impatiently and asking, "Who disturbed my deep sleep?"
For a moment, everyone was on guard.
"This...my deity?" Yan Ling was so horrified that he stuttered, "Venerable Yuanshen?"
"Hey, where did these little guys come from? Why are they so weak? Are they given to me for a taste?" Hunmu grinned, with a faint flame in his eyes, as if he was really checking whether they were delicious.
"Senior is joking." Zhao Ning is not afraid of any Yuanshen Venerable, not to mention that the soul tree in front of him may not be the Yuanshen Venerable. "Juniors are not food. They are just asking seniors to help."
Hunmu curled his lips, and the faint flame locked on Zhao Ning, "If I want to eat you, you have to do the same."
"Then please invite seniors to eat." Zhao Ning looked like a broken jar. Not only Hun Mu's expression was stagnant, but even the six people around him were stunned.
Jiang Yao came to his senses, "Senior is now bound by a restraint, I'm afraid he wants to come out. Juniors can help you, in exchange, how about making a ferry for me, senior?"
Hunmu stared at the two people in front of him, "Only you want to negotiate a deal with me?!"
He seemed to be angry, but at this moment, Jiang Yao suddenly shouted, "Li Ji, use your method of trapping the gods with your own wood!"
Li Ji did not hesitate, and the magic seal came out. The green light was like ten thousand people, and suddenly surrounded the outermost layer of the restriction. The soul power that overflowed from inside and outside the restriction suddenly stagnated for a moment. The seven people took this opportunity to scatter away, but there was still no one. After escaping, the soul seemed to be caught by something and then thrown out. The soul and the body were in an incredible ghost state until it fell to the ground and the soul was knocked into the body.
But the discomfort in his soul still hasn't recovered.
The breeze drifted over his soul, eliminating the feeling of rejection, and Zhao Ning sat up and adjusted his breathing.
"The spirit tree summons the soul." But when Li Ji shouted, a towering tree rose up from the ground, its crown spread out, and its shadow covered the heads of the seven people.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes to look at the shadow. In the moment when it was shaded by trees, all the discomfort in her soul disappeared.
Jimutianhe Dafaguo is truly worthy of its reputation.
Which lineage are they from? Zhao Ning covered up the look in his eyes.
The shadow of the big tree dispersed, and several people moved away from the soul tree. The soul tree could only stare at them with faint flames, but it could not do anything to them.
"Jiang Yao, did you provoke this guy on purpose?" Ming Yao Wei Shuo reacted.
"If we don't anger him, how do we know that this guy is just a talker, and is not a broken master at all. I'm afraid his soul power is at the second-level spiritual object stage at most." Jiang Yao did not deny it, and even stared at the man with a clear face. Not far away is the soul tree where the anger cannot be vented.
"If he really is a Venerable, it's too much of a gamble. There really can't be a next time." Xu Xiuming shook his head and said, he pulled Xu Ming up and asked, "Then what should we do now? Let's work together to break the restriction and force the soul again." Will you give in?"
"You little guys, do you really think I can't hear you?!" Hun Mu roared.
The underworld demon Wei Shuo yelled back at it impatiently, "Just be your background. When the grandfathers break the restriction, you will look good."
"No." Zhao Ning stood up and replied to Xu Xiuming, "The soul tree has a spirit. Even if it temporarily surrenders, when we cross the Blackwater River, our lives are tied to the soul tree. There is no guarantee whether it will survive." Playing tricks behind the scenes."
This level of concern was obviously necessary, and everyone fell into silence. Only Hunmu's hoarse voice laughed from behind, "Come on, little guys, if you want to play in the Blackwater River, I will definitely entertain you well." "
"Li Ji! Use your magic again to punish this ungrateful soul tree!" Yan Ling suddenly turned his head, pointed at the soul tree and cursed.
Zhao Ning asked Jiang Yao, "Friend Jiang, do you know if there is a solution?"
Jiang Yao's behavior just now was a bit abrupt, and Zhao Ning suspected that he was testing something.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yao. Xu Xiuming paused and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang came out of the main hall. Is there any clue in the main hall?"
"Yes." Jiang Yao seemed to be waiting for this sentence, "I saw a relief carving with a scene of a divine ax chopping down a soul tree."
Whether his statement was a cover-up for the conversation with Ming Yue Qiji, or whether he really saw the relief, only he knew.
