Lin Xixue was about to ask what was so special about this sword gallbladder compared to ordinary golden elixirs, but there was a sharp friction sound all over Xu Zhiyi's body.
Following the sound, it turned out that the increasingly fierce sword intent had wiped out dense small pits on the surrounding silver bricks.
However, not long after, Lin Xixue heard an extremely righteous sound of metal and iron clashing from Xu Zhiyi's body. The sword intention that was originally released suddenly converged, and Xu Zhiyi kicked his legs and fell on his back.
She and Bai Qing both stepped forward to catch Xu Zhiyi, but Bai Qing was a little faster.
Bai Qing held Xu Zhiyi's neck, gently twisted her wrist, closed her eyes and concentrated.
Lin Xixue knew that she was investigating Xu Zhiyi's situation, so she just stood by patiently and said nothing.
After a while, Bai Qing opened her eyes, her expression a little solemn.
"How about it?"
"As the sword spirit said, although she has broken through the foundation and her cultivation is still improving rapidly, her three souls have left her body and she doesn't know when she will return to her original position."
"In other words, her three souls are still there, but she needs some special means to bring them back to her body. Zhiyi should be able to wake up?"
"That should be the case. Let's go to Langhuan Pavilion to see if there is a solution. But we don't know whether the jade slips in the pavilion are safe after this incident. If these jade slips are also damaged, I'm afraid we will have to think of other solutions. .”
Lin Xixue nodded, carried the unconscious Xu Zhiyi on her back, and the three of them rushed to the mountain loft together.
However, as expected, all the jade slips in the pavilion were turned into useless gold and silver, and the information in them was naturally impossible to read.
Lin Xixue used her spiritual sense to investigate, but unexpectedly found several rather crude bamboo slips tied together.
Because the characters were carved with a knife, even though the bamboo slip itself turned into common gold and silver, the scratches did not disappear, and it could still be read normally at this moment.
She rummaged through the bamboo slips and opened the first volume. The words "Essentials of Footwork for Walking in the Clouds in the Misty Rain" were clearly written on the front of the volume.
However, when she patiently flipped through the bamboo slips, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although the essence of this step method sounds subtle and profound, there are only words and no pictures. How can I practice it?
She handed the bamboo slips to Bai Qing and asked, "What is the origin of the footwork recorded on these bamboo slips?"
Bai Qing saw the bamboo slips, looked through them for a moment, and said in surprise: "Did you find this in the pavilion?"
"Exactly, but what's so special about it?"
"I don't see anything special. This step seems to be based on some special meaning. It is very different from the ordinary step. It is also engraved on the bamboo slips. It is probably some kind of method passed down from ancient times. footwork."
"But, how can we practice without a picture?" Lin Xixue asked doubtfully.
"There is no picture to explain that this step has no fixed formula. You need to first understand the corresponding meaning of this step, and then follow the principles of nature and follow the trend when facing the enemy. This is an extreme test of understanding."
"So now monks rarely record their skills in this way." Bai Qing added.
"Then how do we understand the corresponding meaning?" After hearing this mysterious explanation, Lin Xixue was even more confused.
"This... maybe you will become enlightened when the opportunity comes?" Bai Qing was also a little unsure, and her explanation was ambiguous.
"Okay..." Lin Xixue had no choice but to put the footwork aside for now. There were too many more important things at the moment.
However, Bai Qing suddenly came closer and started to wrinkle her nose and smell her scent again. Then she held her chin and pondered for a moment, and said, "The evil aura in your body has suddenly become much stronger. What did you do just now?"
"ah......?"
Lin Xixue was also confused when she heard this. She had done nothing just now. She only used her spiritual consciousness to search for any remaining classics.
Could it be because of the act of releasing spiritual consciousness?
She couldn't understand why releasing her spiritual consciousness would cause the evil energy in her body to become stronger, but after all, practice gave her true knowledge, so she decided to try again.
"Wait a minute. Remember the amount of evil energy on my body now. I'll try to see what behavior makes the evil energy on me worse."
When Bai Qing heard that Lin Xixue was going to try again, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, there was no pill on hand that could stabilize her mind and body at the moment.
But she hesitated for a moment and agreed.
After all, it is better to clarify in advance which behaviors will cause the evil contamination to increase rapidly than to increase it unclearly later.
"Then you must be careful and stop immediately if anything goes wrong."
Lin Xixue nodded, and then used her spiritual consciousness to scan Langhuan Pavilion again. However, only halfway through, Bai Qing immediately shook her awake.
She opened her eyes and looked at Bai Qing. Although neither of them spoke, she understood that releasing her consciousness would really make the evil spirit in her body stronger.
Her expression darkened. If she had to use her spiritual consciousness as little as possible, it would be too restrictive when she acted in the future.
But what puzzled her even more was that Bai Qing must have used her spiritual consciousness a lot. Why couldn't she be infected by evil spirits, but she could?
Although it seems that his own spiritual consciousness can indeed see more things than Bai Qing... Is it because of this that he is infected by evil spirits when he releases his spiritual consciousness?
If this is the case, it will become more and more troublesome in the future. After all, divine consciousness is not like magic swords and jade books, and there is still the possibility of circumventing its use. Whether exploring paths, finding objects, or fighting enemies, it is impossible not to use spiritual consciousness.
She shook her head, cleared her mind of these distracting thoughts, and focused on the most urgent matter now - how to bring back Xu Zhiyi's three souls.
Now that all the classics in Langhuan Pavilion have been destroyed, we have to find other ways.
She pondered for a moment and immediately thought of two people she knew related to this soul-inducing thing.
One is Miao Zhu from the Chenghuang Temple who often goes in and out of Yin and Yang and deals with things in the netherworld. The other one is the great shaman of Wuzeng Temple. He has also invited me, so he may have some knowledge about this.
But what gave her some headaches was that Chenghuang Temple Miao Zhu knew that the Sanqing Mask was still in his possession, which meant there was a conflict.
Although the embroidery lady of Wuzeng Temple is still there, the master died because of me, and the temple almost collapsed. Although I have paid for her to rebuild the temple, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to forgive myself.
Looking for other ways, but not knowing if Xu Zhiyi could afford to wait, she asked: "How long can Zhiyi last in her current state?"
Bai Qing shook her head and said: "I'm not sure, her spirit is not strong after all. I am optimistic that she can last for a few months at most."
"There are only a few months..." Lin Xixue's voice gradually became lower and lower, such a short time was really too hasty.
What's even more terrible is that their group took the teleportation array directly from the coast of the East China Sea to Lantau Mountain.
At present, the teleportation array has most likely been destroyed. Just taking the boat back to Ninghai City will probably delay it for more than a month. If Xu Zhiyi looks for other ways, he may be in bad luck.
Not to mention that Lin Xixue and she were friends and couldn't let it go.
Even from a utilitarian point of view, she still possesses key information about time travel that Lin Xixue has not yet understood, and she must be saved.
Lin Xixue pinched her brows, wondering why every problem she encountered after traveling through time was so difficult...
