Seeing Mo Guyuan frowning and saying nothing, he then turned to look at Gang Ling sitting under the tree. The old dog-like monster scratched his head and coughed a few times to break the strange atmosphere and said, "My hero, if there is nothing else, We will take our leave first. Please forgive me for any offense I caused you."
Mo Guyuan looked at the two of them without saying a word. After a while, he gradually said, "Looking at the shapes and postures of the two of you, could it be that you are cat demons and dog demons who have become spirits through cultivation?"
The old dog demon and the woman in white looked at each other after hearing the young man's words, and a cold light flashed in their eyes. Mo Guyuan seemed to be aware of it, and continued, "I'm just watching the two of them guess, as long as you can lead me Let’s walk out of this maple forest and forget about the past.”
"You brat, are you deliberately playing tricks on us? If we can get out of this maple forest, why have we been trapped here for decades?" The woman in white had already stood up and said sarcastically to Mo Guyuan.
"What!! You have been trapped here for decades??" Mo Guyuan said in panic and surprise.
Looking at Mo Guyuan's face, both of them were stunned. Judging from the man's expression and posture, it seemed that he really didn't know the reason for the situation here.
"This is the maple sea at the top of the desert island. It is the place where the Taoist Heavenly Lord ascended in ancient times. After the great god left, he left this magic formation here. How can it be broken?" the old dog said with a sneer.
"The Great Wilderness Maple Sea is one of the five forbidden areas on the island. It's unlucky for you to wander into this place by mistake. I'm afraid you will be wasted here in this life. Who are you? Are you exiled here by the immortal sect or by the big people below? Did the demon come in for fun?" the woman in white asked curiously.
Mo Guyuan listened to the words of the two people, pondered for a moment, and said for a moment, "I came here from the human world, not as you said. If you trust me, you can tell me about the situation here. Maybe I can Get you out of here."
Both of them were shocked when they heard this. The boy in front of them actually traveled from the human world to this place? How can you believe this? Although the two of them have not experienced the war between gods and demons back then, it is now well known that the three realms are separated and sealed by Four Springs. How can this person break through the barrier set by the Dragon God back then? Could it be that he is from the divine realm?
Mo Guyuan did not explain too much. He had previously heard that the two of them said that this place was left by a Taoist Heavenly Lord. He suddenly remembered that the Huang Ting Sutra seemed to have records on how to break the formation. The roads lead to the same destination in different ways. Maybe they can use this deduction to find the formation's eye. location.
"Do you really have a way to break through this maze of maples?" the woman in white asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but you have been here the longest, have you noticed anything different? Apart from the fact that the maple forest is updated and moved every day, and the maple forest seems to be extremely vast and endless," Mo Guyuan said.
"Yes, this maple forest changes its position from time to time every day, but have you noticed that among the ten maple trees, one must be different from the other nine. If you carve a mark on any of these nine trees, This mark will appear on all the others at the same location, but if you can find the tenth tree to mark, then the other nine trees will not have this happen. Such cumbersome means must have been intentional by the great god at the time. "As for the endless maple forest you mentioned, it's just your own hallucination," the woman in white said slowly.
"Hallucination? I can't see the end of this maple forest no matter how high I go to the sky or the earth. How can I call it an hallucination?" Mo Guyuan was dumbfounded.
The woman in white and the old dog demon looked at each other, with inexplicable questions in their eyes. Could it be that this kid really traveled from the human world and knew nothing about this place.
"Let me ask you, when you accidentally entered this maple forest, did you eat the wild fruits on the roadside to satisfy your hunger?" the old dog said with a smile.
"Yes, this wild fruit can be found almost everywhere along the wild roads in this maple forest. It is sweet and delicious."
"This is the reason why you feel that this maple forest is like an endless sea. The real name of this wild fruit is nandina. If you eat it, it will cause hallucinations, and your perception of the surrounding things will be magnified dozens of times. In fact, this maple forest is nothing but It’s only a hundred miles in size. Apart from the hares and pheasants that strayed into the area from outside, only the Nandina bamboo grows here. Therefore, people who come here feel that they can’t go out anyway. In addition, the Nandina bamboo tastes sweet and is difficult to eat. It doesn’t matter, but this nandina only lasts for about three days. As long as you don’t eat it, the hallucination will naturally disappear.” The old dog said as he broke off a nandina from the roadside and chewed it.
Mo Guyuan was greatly surprised when he heard this. No wonder he felt that he would never be able to get out of this maple forest no matter how he walked. It turned out to be the hallucination caused by the wild fruit. I have been eating it almost every day since I walked into this maple forest. If I hadn't met the two people in front of me today and understood the mystery, I would have been trapped in this life for the rest of my life.
"According to what you said, the maple forest is divided into ten trees. If we mark any of the nine trees, it will be in vain. How can we accurately find the tenth tree?" Mo Guyuan asked.
"We have no way of knowing that. That time we discovered by chance that Gang Ling and I just drew it casually when we had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, it just happened to be recorded on the tenth tree. But even so, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. You have to You know, this mark will be refreshed and restored every two hours. We can make the first mark, but if we can't find the next mark within these two hours, we will fall short," the old dog said sarcastically.
He and Gang Ling have been trapped here for decades. They don't know how difficult it is to break through the maple forest formation. Isn't this a young boy who just came here not long ago and wants to break the formation without knowing anything? Idiot's dream.
Mo Guyuan listened carefully and didn't pay attention to the old dog's disdain at all. In his heart, he compared the contents of the mysterious method recorded in the Huangting Sutra one by one to see if there were any similarities. The three of them stopped talking, and Mo Guyuan was immersed in his mind and began to deduce the strangeness of this maple forest.
In a deserted island, there are thousands of gorges and rocks. The high and low places overlap and stretch endlessly. It is deserted and there is no sign of life.
Deep underground, darkness engulfs everything around it. The space that had been buried for an unknown number of years suddenly lit up with a ball of fire. The fire light quickly illuminated the dark bottom like igniting withered grass. The night was like day, with rays of light. In an instant, the ground was filled with light, and only the sound was heard coming from the void. A voice was playful and cold, "A time traveler? He is just a poor worm in millions of years. The so-called demigod is nothing more than that."
The person who spoke did not appear. Looking through the firelight reflected in the ground, there was an altar underneath, with a sinister stone statue on each side. Each stone statue stood behind it holding a strange-shaped object.
Everything held by the stone statue was locked with a huge iron chain, extending along the iron chain, there was actually a person bound here in the center of the altar. His hands and feet were firmly imprisoned by square iron chains, and bursts of golden light flashed across the chain's body from time to time, sinking into the body of the person in the center of the altar.
"Nine Nether Golden Flames have devoured you for five hundred years. Even these evil things can't make you frown. I really underestimate you." In the blink of an eye, a person appeared out of thin air on the altar, wearing a golden python robe. Falling down on the ground, her figure was slender and slender, her dark green black silk flowing continuously, making her look alluring in an instant.
The man who was tightly bound by the iron chain was dressed in white clothes and looked like a fairy. He had been trapped underground for hundreds of years and was still not stained by a trace of dust, just like the bright moon.
"Did you bring wine?" The voice was warm, like a spring breeze. The man in the python robe was stunned, his charming face was lost in thought for a moment.
"Luokui is here in Changliu. I want to take your demigod power and give me the time shuttle as well!"
The space condensed, and the four statues of gods left over from ancient times cracked a slight gap at the same time. The iron chain was the Xuantian Fire Chain, the sacred object of the fire god who hunted all over the world in the past. At this time, the four fire chains were like the stone statue, and there were bursts of shattering sounds. Except for the cold eyes of the man in the python robe, no one in the world knew about his earth-shattering moment.
The white light tilted, like a waterfall pouring down on the body of the man in the python robe. At this moment, the figure in the python robe was ignited with three thousand karma fires, and the golden scales spread. In a trance, it seems that there is a dragon flying in the sky, soaring in the clouds and mist. The man in white under the chains stared blankly at the scene in front of him. That equally thrilling face was now filled with tears for no reason.
"Time, this is what you owe her..."
"It's only been 80,000 years. If it's the same this time, even if it's 180,000 years or 280,000 years later, I'll be like this. Anyway, I'm used to it."
For some reason, the man in the python robe choked up for no reason when he heard these words, and there was something stuck in his chest.
"does it worth?"
"And you?"
Darkness enveloped him again, and only the person in the center of the altar slowly lowered his eyes and fell asleep, with a smile on his lips and a ripple of wind.
