With this thought in mind, Xiang Shu gathered his thoughts and concentrated for a moment, and suddenly he felt a flow of time surrounding him.
Although the scene inside the pass changed slightly, she still recognized it. This was Gu Pass, one of the eight passes, corresponding to the scroll hanging on the wall in the study.
Within the scroll, the flow of time is different from that in the outside world. Three days have passed inside, while only one hour has passed outside.
If you can use the "solid" character to bless yourself, you can use it to stabilize yourself and not be affected by the flow of time.
If you can maintain yourself and restore the time flow rate at the exit of this level to normal, you can break through the level.
But under the erosion of the illusion, the flow rate of time here is obviously no longer 36 times the original, but a full 360,000 times.
In other words, for one hour outside, more than 820 years will pass here!
Such a terrifying flow of time, although it is just an illusion created by the illusion, does not affect the physical body, but it can consume the soul.
Once the time spent here exceeds the upper limit of lifespan, the soul will be exhausted and death will occur.
An out-of-body monk with a lifespan of three thousand years can only last three hours here at most.
It took them more than four hours since they entered the Emperor's Tomb and walked all the way here.
Anyone who enters this place will probably end up with the same fate as the monks from the previous level, and they will all die.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu sighed softly and looked at Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing was in the elixir-forming stage and had a lifespan of only five hundred years. Although she only stayed here for a moment, her face looked a bit old, but she hadn't noticed it yet.
She said calmly: "Jingjing, run the fixed characters."
Yuan Jing suddenly looked ashamed and said, "Sister Li, I haven't learned this rune yet."
"No way..."
Xiang Shu nodded, not surprised.
The "solid" character involves the way of time and space, and is the most difficult to understand among the eight major runes. At the same time, it is also the most commonly used one for setting up teleportation arrays.
She kneaded the secret with both hands, and a "solid" character quickly condensed, fell on Yuan Jing's body, and circled three times.
Yuan Jing's face instantly regained its youthfulness.
Xiang Shu felt it carefully and his eyes darkened slightly.
The flow of time in Yuan Jing's body changed from 820 years to 82 years in just one hour.
She pondered for a while, then condensed a character for "Rui" and integrated it into the character for "solid".
The surface of the "solid" character flashed with light, and the flow of time around Yuan Jing changed again, shrinking to one hour and thirty-five years.
This is the limit.
Xiang Shu looked at Yuan Jing and felt that the matter was difficult.
She had practiced Snake and Insect Runes for a short period of time, and she had not yet learned how to connect two identical runes to increase their effectiveness.
And this method cannot be learned in a short time.
If you want to break through the barrier and get out, you have to find another way.
Yuan Jing seemed to notice that Xiang Shu was distressed, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sister Li, how can I help you?"
Xiang Shen calmed down his thoughts, casually wrote the character "Gu" on himself, and asked quietly: "How is the earth's veins here?"
Yuan Jing's expression brightened, and without saying a word, she took out a blank jade slip, used her magic power to quickly copy the ground veins ahead onto the jade slip, and handed it to Xiang Shu.
Xiang Shu took the jade slip, glanced at it, and matched it with the chaotic line diagram in his mind.
The road pointed by this earth vein is surprisingly the wooden house at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Putting away the jade slips, Xiang Shu didn't hesitate and said directly: "Go to the wooden house."
Yuan Jing followed suit.
The two set foot on the mountain road and soon encountered corpses piled on both sides of the mountain road.
Yuan Jing glanced at it and found that she could actually treat it as calmly as Sister Li.
Her heart was surging, and when she looked at the beautiful figure walking in front of her, the reverence in her eyes became a little stronger.
Sister Li’s past experience must have been exciting!
If she could go through more dangerous situations, could she be as good as Sister Li?
Xiang Shu ignored the increasingly hot gazes behind him and walked quickly.
Not long after, the two came to the wooden house.
The sound of breathing in the room, as suppressed as a broken bellows, suddenly reached the ears of the two of them.
Is there anyone alive?
Xiang Yu narrowed his cold eyes and turned his head to signal Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing immediately understood and stepped aside nervously.
Xiang Shu made a secret with one hand and threw out a paper figure.
The paper man fell to the ground, his flesh and blood swelled, and turned into the second Xiang Shu, who quickly stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door.
But after hearing a creak, the two people inside and outside the door raised their heads at the same time, and were startled when they saw each other.
The furnishings in the wooden house are simple, with only a table and a couch.
An old man in green clothes with a wrinkled face was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a green and red feather on his head.
Xiang Shu didn't recognize who the old man was at first, but he recognized at a glance that the green and red feathers on his head were the phantom feathers of Fifth Senior Sister Shui Yueyao.
She looked at the old man's face carefully. If the wrinkles on his face were gone... wouldn't this be Dong Jinghuan?
Dong Jinghuan never expected that he would see Shen Xiang here.
He was shocked, and the dim green and red feathers on his head were disturbed by his thoughts and shook a little.
He quickly stabilized his mind, regained his composure, and began to think quickly.
Is this little girl a disciple of the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect? Why is she here?
And he remembered that more than forty years ago, this girl was abducted by Lu Yushan in Fengqingmen.
Could it be that later on, she was rescued by her senior brother, and now she has become a successful practitioner and gone out to practice?
But he clearly remembered that Shui Yueyao had mentioned to him that disciples of the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect had to practice at least to the out-of-body stage before they would go out alone to practice.
No matter how talented this little girl is, she can't possibly go from the Qi training stage to the out-of-body stage in just forty years, right?
etc! What are the runes on her body?
Is she not affected by the flow of time here? !
Dong Jinghuan's eyes widened and he didn't think too much. He was about to send a message to ask for help, but Xiang Shen typed the character "solid" first and landed on him.
As soon as the rune came out, Dong Jinghuan suddenly felt that the pressure on his soul was greatly reduced, and the influence of the illusion was also greatly eliminated. His face quickly returned to its original appearance as if he had gone back in time.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, took off the feathers on his head, stood up, walked to Xiang Shu, and saluted solemnly: "I am under Dong Jinghuan, do you still recognize me, Junior Sister Shen? Thank you very much, Junior Sister, for the rescue."
"Of course I recognize you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your rescue."
Xiang Shu said calmly: "Why do you have something belonging to my fifth senior sister?"
Dong Jinghuan hesitated for a moment, then confessed: "In the early years at Fengqingmen, after I met your senior sister, we often interacted with each other."
Xiang Shu took a deep look at Qingyu and said, "This is not a waste of scraps. It seems that Fifth Senior Sister cares about you very much."
Dong Jinghuan's face turned red in a rare way: "I...it was only after I used it that I realized that this feather is extraordinary. Your senior sister..."
"I won't interfere in senior sister's personal affairs."
Xiang Shen's words were a bit colder: "It's you...why do you want to take a dip in the muddy water?
Your relationship with the Earth God of Dongzhou wasn’t necessarily that good before, right? "
"I……"
Dong Jinghuan was about to answer, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly came to his senses.
How did Shen Xiang know that he and Xiang Shu had a bad relationship in the past?
"What? Is this question difficult for you to answer?"
Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows.
This posture was strange and powerful, completely different from the last time I saw him at Fengqingmen.
Dong Jinghuan was in a trance, as if he saw the shadow of Xiang Shu in her body.
wrong!
His eyes suddenly widened and his heart was shaken.
When the word Shen Xiang comes over, doesn't it mean Xiang Shu?
He suddenly realized that Shen Xiang recognized him, not because she was in Fengqingmen, but because... she was Xiang Shu? !
But... didn't the three major sects say that the Earth God of Dongzhou could not leave Dongzhou?
She came here forty years ago
, only twenty years later than them.
How did she get here?
Could it be that after she was abducted by Lu Yushan forty years ago, she was imprisoned in the tomb of the Dragon Emperor?
Was it always Lu Yushan who was behind the scenes?
"you……"
He was full of questions, and when he was about to speak, he was blocked by Xiang Shen with a cold look.
Dong Jinghuan paused and turned his eyes to the side. When he saw Yuan Jing who was looking at the two of them curiously, most of his thoughts disappeared in an instant.
Xiang Shen's identity is sensitive. There are other people here, so he really shouldn't ask more questions.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I will not defend myself.
In my early years, I acted...extremely, and I did have a grudge against the Earth God of Dongzhou.
The Earth God is magnanimous. After the underground battle, he has wiped out his grudges with me and no longer cares about me. I feel guilty, but I dare not really let go.
This time the Earth God is in trouble, how could I not come? "
Dong Jinghuan kept saying that he was the god of the earth, but his eyes were looking directly at Xiang Shen, not leaving him even an inch.
Yuan Jing felt even more weird when she saw it, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
This senior named Dong Jinghuan was still blushing when he talked about Senior Sister Li just now. Why is he looking at Sister Li affectionately now?
Her expression suddenly changed.
Does this person want to ride in two different boats?
Thinking of this, she immediately took a step forward, squeezed between the two of them, and glared at Dong Jinghuan with a pair of snake eyes.
Dong Jinghuan was suddenly stared at by a pair of demonic eyes, and his heart was slightly frightened, but it was more inexplicable.
"Dare I ask this..."
He hesitated to speak, but before he could finish, Yuan Jing snorted coldly and said, "Just give up on this idea. My sister, Li, will never fall in love with a half-hearted male cultivator like you!"
Dong Jinghuan was confused at first when he heard this, and then his face instantly turned green when he realized what he said.
"This fellow Taoist... you have misunderstood! I don't have that kind of thoughts towards her... towards your sister Li."
When Yuan Jing heard this, she immediately became even more annoyed, "What do you mean?! Sister Li saved you, and even if you are not grateful, how dare you still look down on her?"
Dong Jinghuan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "I didn't."
Of course Yuan Jing knew that he didn't, but she just couldn't stand Dong Jinghuan.
Anyone who makes Sister Li unhappy will not be able to live in peace!
Seeing this, Xiang Shu finally said:
"alright."
Yuan Jing originally wanted to continue to go up and mess around, but after hearing this, she immediately became quiet and obediently retreated to Xiang Shu.
Dong Jinghuan looked at it, and the corners of his eyes twitched, hiding the sourness in his eyes.
In the past, he had had feelings for Xiang Shen. At first, it was just his love for the weak woman.
That kind of love is not worth mentioning in front of the Soul-fixing Pearl and the opportunity to cultivate immortality.
So when he was in the Xiangjia Mine, he gave up Xiang Shu without hesitation and chose the Soul-fixing Pearl.
Later, miraculously, Xiang Shen appeared in Siji City as a strong man, negotiated with Lu Yushan on an equal footing, and left the last bit of incense for the Blazing Flame Sect.
He had no regrets about what he had done in the past, but he felt guilty and even more envious.
But this guilt became irreparable as Xiang Shu became stronger and stronger.
There is no way to express my admiration.
Later, Xiang Shu became an earth god, a being that even he wanted to look up to.
The gap is too big, and the trace of admiration will end in vain.
Facing Xiang Shu at this moment, he no longer dared to even think about it.
How could someone as despicable as him be worthy of her?
