After an unknown period of time, in the silence and darkness, some faint noises could gradually be heard. As consciousness slowly returned, Qian Chao gradually woke up.
He still remembered that he and a few companions went to Little Lotus Lake to play, and they were talking together by the lake. Why did it get dark? Why don't you remember when you fell asleep? Did you drink? Tang Ping actually had wine on her body. Thinking of Tang Ping, the memory slowly returned to Qian Chao's mind. He finally remembered that someone seemed to be pushing him from behind. When he turned around, he found that Tang Ping was unsteady and bumped into him as if he was drunk. Just as he was about to Helping her, he also fell down. He vaguely remembered that Brother Li seemed to shout "Who is there, come out", but what he heard at the time was like a voice coming from a far away place, and then there was darkness. Until now wake up.
Are we being plotted against?
Someone wants to harm us?
who is it?
Who have you offended?
Of course there is only one Qin Suijie!
Could it be that he harmed us? That shouldn't be the case. He just entered Qi refining, and he only entered it after swallowing the Zhuang Ling Dan. Could it be that in such a short period of time, he learned some spells and came back to deal with us?
Qian Chao was the first among the five to wake up. However, before he opened his eyes, he realized that he had been plotted against him. There was no strange feeling in his mouth, nose, or eyes. It seemed that the person who did it didn't cover his mouth, nose, and eyes with a piece of cloth. In order to prevent the perpetrator from finding out that he had woken up and harming him again, although he regained consciousness, he did not dare to open his eyes or even move his eyeballs. He still pretended to be completely unconscious, but kept his head straight. Ears listen to the movement around you.
This Qin Suijue is so powerful. Can he learn any powerful spells in less than two months? There was nothing unusual about Tang Ping before she fell. What about the other people? If the other party used magic, then Brother Lu and Brother Li would hardly be their opponents.
At this time, Qian Chao almost believed that the person who was trying to harm him was Qin Suijie.
What about Brother Li now, as well as Brother Lu and Sister Yan? Did they escape, or were they also put down and arrested together?
There was a sound of footsteps, and the sound of someone dragging heavy objects against the ground was heard. Not long after, a young man's voice was heard.
"Master, everything has been arranged."
Qian Chao almost opened his eyes when he heard it. This was definitely not Qin Suijie's voice. He was very familiar with this voice. It was Guan Shan who was in Tingtao Pavilion and gave enlightenment lectures to his new disciples. Senior Brother Qi Guan, I could see him every month in Tingtao Pavilion.
How could it be him? Who is the master he is talking about?
Wasn't it Qin Suijie who did it?
"Very good, prepare yourself, and then go to the formation. When I activate this formation, you can get your wish, but you'd better hurry up. It takes a long time for the formation to activate. People in the sect will definitely realize that it would be bad if they came to inspect. You only have half an hour. Once the half hour is over, you have to come out no matter what. Otherwise, the profits and losses will be converted into each other. I can't guarantee that you will be right. You must be doing good things, do you remember?"
A voice that sounded very old and weak sounded nearby.
"Disciple, I have written it down. I will definitely remember Master's instructions." Guan Shanqi's voice replied again.
"Well, you go over there. Once you sit down, I'm going to start."
"Thank you, Master."
Senior Brother Guan's voice replied again, and then he heard soft footsteps coming towards him.
Since it is Guan Shanqi who is dealing with him, and he is a Qi Refining monk, then even one of the five people must be unable to escape. What kind of formation is there? Who is Guan Shanqi's master? What are they going to do by arresting themselves and five other people? A series of questions kept flashing through Qian Chao's mind. When he heard the old voice saying what formation to activate, Qian Chao felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He couldn't care less and opened his eyes.
He was in a cave, no, he should be in a vast and spacious stone hall that had been repaired in a cave. The numerous glazed lamps on the surrounding stone walls illuminated the entire cave hall. He looked at it. They arrived at four tall, thick, round and simple stone pillars. In front of each stone pillar, there was a person sitting in a cross-legged posture. It was Lu Pingchuan, Li Jian, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan who were still unconscious.
Qian Chao was sure that there was probably such a stone pillar behind him, but he couldn't look back, because it was only then that he discovered to his horror that although he could open his eyes, his whole body seemed to be under control except for his eyelids. It felt like they didn't belong to me. I couldn't move any part of my body. No, I couldn't feel other parts of my body.
That Guan Shanqi was walking towards a low stone platform among the five people. It was probably the formation he had heard about before.
"Senior Brother Guan! What are you going to do? Why are you plotting against the five of us?" Seeing that Guan Shanqi was about to step onto the stone platform, Qian Chao shouted. Only then did he realize that in addition to his eyes, his mouth could also be controlled.
"You're actually awake?!"
Guan Shanqi looked at Qian Chao in surprise.
"It doesn't matter if you wake up or not. Since you're awake, just watch."
As he said this, Guan Shanqi stepped on the stone platform with one foot.
"I'm not afraid to tell you. When you see it later, you can tell the other four people in the future, so that the five of you will not be confused all your life."
After saying that, Guan Shanqi completely climbed onto the stone platform.
"this!"
As he spoke, Guan Shanqi lightly stamped the stone platform below with his feet, and pointed outwards with his arms.
"It is an ancient relic, the Five Elements Transformation Spirit Formation to Suppress the Evil Lock Demon. Of course, only a small part of the original formation remains, but it is the core part. The Five Elements Transformation Spirit Formation is also called the Small Five Spirit Formation. "
Guan Shanqi said proudly, the usual gentleness and gentleness on his face were long gone, replaced by pride, excitement, ridicule and greed.
"This Little Five Spirit Formation is an ancient secret formation. It is said that this place was originally the place where the sect locked up a monster. However, the monster escaped long ago and this place has been abandoned. But my mentor is a scholar of heaven. , understand the mystery of the Five Elements Formation here, this Five Elements Formation is ever-changing, but it is extremely difficult to arrange,"
Guan Shanqi paused deliberately here, looked at Qian Chao, and emphasized his tone.
"But if you find a well-arranged formation, you can derive countless wonderful formations. Now it has been arranged by my mentor. Once this formation is activated, you can use this formation to repair my spiritual roots. , Do you understand? It is to transfer the spiritual roots of the five of you to me through the mystery of the formation, allowing me to jump from mediocre qualifications to excellent qualifications. In this way, I will naturally be able to make great strides in my practice in the future, haha Ha ha!"
Guan Shanqi let out a burst of unpleasant and proud laughter. After laughing, he looked at Qian Chao with ridicule and regret and said: "Don't worry, you won't die. Even if you lose your spiritual roots, the five of you will not die. It's just that you can't practice, so I can give you a way to live. But once the spirit-transforming formation is over, my mentor will change the formation again and make this a five-element spirit-robbing formation. By then, the five of you will have unprecedented success. Dantian Qihai went to heal my mentor. You five little guys can save a powerful golden elixir monk, which is considered worthwhile. Finally, our master and disciple left here and let you escape for your lives. Now that you have regained your consciousness, just watch it carefully! "
"What's the point of talking to him? Get ready quickly, I'm going to activate the formation here!" The voice of Senior Brother Guan's "mentor" came from the darkness on one side, but Qian Chao couldn't see that direction, and he couldn't see it either. Unable to twist my neck to see.
"Yes." Guan Shanqi replied respectfully, and sat cross-legged on the stone platform. Before closing his eyes, he looked at Qian Chao with a look full of ridicule.
The master of Guan Shanqi should be the alchemy cultivator in the sect. Why is the Five Spirit Sect so unbearable? The Qi Condensation cultivator plotted to use the spiritual roots of his body refining disciples, and even when the Lien Dan cultivator was seriously injured, he used the cultivation roots of an unrelated person for himself. Healing?
Is this world of spiritual practice so terrifying? Is it so common for the weak to eat the strong?
After Qian Chao listened to Guan Shanqi's words, although he didn't understand the Five Elements Formation that Guan Shanqi was talking about, he understood why Senior Brother Guan had such a conspiracy to kidnap five of him here! He couldn't help but feel fear and anger in his heart. He really hated the master and apprentice who were collaborating with each other, and he also had hatred for the Five Spirits Sect.
In fact, Qian Chao was wrong here. This Guan Shanqi was just an ordinary Qi refining disciple of Jiuxuan within the sect. He had mediocre qualifications and had no teacher. Although his ambition was not small, his mind was not right. He invited himself to come to Youming Valley to give lectures, and the sect administrator agreed to his request because he seemed to be quite outstanding in appearance.
Long before coming to Youming Valley, he met his mentor once when he was out, who was also a pill-forming monk. Although he was seriously injured at the time, his life was not in danger for a short period of time. However, this monk was not a monk from the Five Spirits Sect. Not only that, the serious injuries on his body were left to him by the monks from the Five Spirits Sect. Fortunately, he was a cunning person, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
The monk Xingzang was defeated by Guan Shanqi, and he wanted to kill him, but he found that Guan Shanqi also seemed to be a person with evil intentions, so under the monk's coercion and inducement, the two hit it off, and Guan Shanqi became a disciple of the monk. It was under the guidance of this monk that he came to Youming Valley with today in mind.
Just when Qian Chao was frightened, angry, and panicked, there was suddenly an unreasonable rumbling all around. There were no doors or windows leading to the outside in the entire stone hall, but the aura was surging abnormally, as if he was in a giant eagle. Under the waving wings.
Qian Chao felt that the breath in his body was surging, and it was full and bulging like never before, making his face flush. If he looked in a mirror at this time, he would be surprised to find that the veins on his face were bulging, and the veins on his neck were The blood vessels were like red lines that gradually became thicker and blackened, and then there was a burst of emptiness like an ebbing tide. This sudden breath immediately disappeared without a trace. Not only that, but also felt like being bitten by a bloody mouth. He was as weak as if he had held his neck and sucked all the energy and blood out of his body. This huge contrast between gain and loss made him extremely uncomfortable.
Is it really going to be calculated like this?
He was very unwilling, and while enduring the pain caused by the loss of breath, he quickly thought of ways to escape.
It's a pity that no matter how much I try, except for my eyes and mouth, my whole body is like a piece of wood and I can't move at all.
I can't let them succeed, I still want to enter the inner gate!
Qian Chao stared around, scanning over and over Guan Shanqi's face that he wanted to rush over and smash it into pieces, as well as the surrounding stone pillars. What was carved on the stone pillars? Rows of strange lines. He saw It was unclear. His eyes suddenly became blood-red when his breath surged. When his breath suddenly became empty, his eyes suddenly turned almost gray. This change made his vision clear and blurry. .
Qian Chao was like this, and so were the other four people around him. Next to him were Lu Pingchuan and Tang Ping. Lu Pingchuan's strong arms seemed to be getting thicker and thinner in the wave-like breath; while Tang Ping's complexion had already become... The same is true for Yan Zhihong, the rest of Li Jian and Yan Xuan. Presumably these four people would be in great pain if they were awake.
No, I really don’t want to give in. If the spiritual root and the sea of energy are really taken away, it would be better to die. How can I escape? The strange turbulence of the breath in his body reminded him of the first time he practiced in that spiritual place. It was extremely dangerous at that time, and he couldn't move at all. In panic, he could only follow the mental method of "Jade Sea Sutra". He controlled the breath in his body bit by bit, but now he seemed to be in prison. Is this "Jade Sea Scripture" still useful?
No matter what, even if it doesn't work, you'll have to try it before you know, and there's no other way.
Qian Chao decided to pay attention, closed his eyes, and forced the wild horse-like aura in his body to swim through the body according to the veins of the Jade Sea Sutra. Unfortunately, when the aura in his body was not as strong as that of the spiritual veins, he could not be tamed at all, and he failed again and again. , if he hadn't been unable to move at all, he would have wanted to hit his head on the stone slab on the ground to relieve the pain.
Finally he thought of a way. Of course he didn't know if it would be effective, but he could only treat it like a dead horse. That was to forcefully leave a little bit of this breath before it disappeared. Walk in the body according to the context diagram of the Jade Sea Sutra, and ride on the huge waves. When the strong aura hit him, he was like a small boat in the tide. When the huge waves receded and the boat sank into the shallows, he moved forward desperately, retreating ninety or even ninety-nine steps in a hundred steps. The Jade Sea Scripture runs in the body.
The meridians in his body were repeatedly beaten and ravaged by this violent force. One moment he was full to death, and the other moment he was hungry and thirsty. The two extreme feelings repeatedly came over him. It was really painful. Even so, Qian Chao still guarded the only bit of clarity in his heart. , in an attempt to save themselves.
It is estimated that no one has practiced the "Jade Sea Scripture" in this way since its creation. It is impossible for Qian Chao to do it at his own level. He usually practices the "Jade Sea Scripture", even if it is in the spiritual vein, The breath in the body is at most a cup of tea, how can it stir up such huge waves now?
As he slowly closed his eyes, Qian Chao's facial features began to twist ferociously, and blood gradually came from his nostrils and from the corners of his eyes.
Enduring the severe pain, he finally forced himself to move the Jade Sea Sutra for a small week, and there was also a slight feeling in his dantian. What he wanted to do was to find out the situation first, see if he could figure out the formation, and then find a way to escape. So when the Jade Sea Scripture was running with difficulty until the second small week, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to take advantage of the aura. Wave used the true energy gathered in Dantian to guide this huge wave towards the only eye hole he could still use.
Just when the two eyeballs in his eyes were about to explode, Qian Chao opened his eyes.
Guan Shanqi's heart was full of uncontrollable excitement at this time. He closed his eyes and performed the exercises while using the technique of inner vision to check the changes in his body. He knew that the Spirit Transformation Array was not fully activated at this time, and even if there were changes in the spiritual roots, the inner vision would not The technique is also invisible, but he just can't help it.
For today's matter, every time he gave a lecture to the disciples in the valley, he would test the practice of several disciples in the school and ask about their qualifications without leaving any trace. He felt guilty as a thief. Although his master kept urging him, he still didn't dare to be too blatant. His master repeatedly said that he must have five children with complete metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and spiritual roots. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, as long as the five elements are complete.
I originally wanted to take action in the valley and capture five body-refining disciples, but I was not the only one in the valley. It would be bad if others noticed it. If the master was not seriously injured, there was no need to worry about those people.
But then again, if he hadn't been seriously injured, how would he be where he is today?
So Guan Shanqi promoted the beautiful scenery of the Little Lotus Lake during his lectures to lure the disciples in the valley to come. Unfortunately, among the people who have come so far, only Qian Chao and the five of them meet the only condition for the five elements to be complete.
What I originally thought was that before opening the spirit, I would take advantage of the dark night to select five disciples with complete five elements and outstanding qualifications, but I didn't expect that today's five people's spiritual roots already have complete five elements.
Let's do it today, it's better to do it here than next to other monks. However, the boy named Li Jian was very alert and almost discovered him several times, which was strange.
Speaking of which, he still disliked the inferiority of Qian Chao Linggen, but he did not dare to go to the valley to catch another disciple of Qian Chao Linggen because he was afraid of being seen through. Anyway, the big boy had excellent qualifications, and having him alone was enough. , when the formation is over, your spiritual roots will definitely be as good as his, and then your future practice progress will be really different.
Thinking of this, Guan Shanqi was still a little curious. This spiritual root cannot be touched or seen on a person. It is estimated that even if he kills the person and cuts it open carefully with a knife, he may not be able to find what the spiritual root looks like. This How does the formation capture people's spiritual roots for their own use?
Since you can't see changes in your own spiritual roots by looking inside, what will it be like for others who have lost their spiritual roots?
He couldn't help but must be curious to find out the clues.
And he also wanted to see how embarrassed the boy named Qian Chao looked now.
