As long as you have something to say, Wei Shiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it is a transaction, there is room for bargaining. The worst thing is to be kept in the dark. As for why it is "the only choice to save one's life", there will be many opportunities to discuss in the future. At least for now, their interests are aligned. //

In Mei Zhenren's eyes, Wei Shiqi was just a dispensable chess piece. She understood her junior sister's intentions and didn't try to persuade her. When she turned around, she saw him looking around with his head down, seemingly planning to pick one up. No, I feel funny in my heart. Master Lan frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased with him for making his own decision, and asked directly: "What are you looking for?"

Wei Shiqi's face was a little strange, and he hesitated: "When Tianlan died, in addition to the Nine Yin White Bone Tower and the Seven Feathered Fire Fan, he was also wearing a tattered Taoist robe. Now each tower and the fan are there, and the Taoist robe is It’s gone, but it’s weird.”

Could it be that someone has been here and taken the Taoist robe? Master Lan was startled and glanced at Master Mei. The latter pondered for a moment and asked, "What's so weird about that Taoist robe?"

Wei Shiqi said: "Niu Yi showed his original form of a green bull, shook his head and shot out two curved horns, one pierced the Seven-feathered Fire Fan, and the other hit the chest of the real person Tianlan, but was blocked by the Taoist robe, and was unscathed. I guess it was A protective treasure.”

Master Mei thought thoughtfully and said slowly: "If it's not here, it must be somewhere else. There is no need to look for it. It will appear on its own."

Lan Zhenren knew what she had seen and said with a chuckle: "The demons and ghosts are just trying to make things up. It's useless to think too much. The truth will come to light one day. Let's continue on the road."

Wei Shiqi said no more, but still got on the one-horned Yin horse, holding the reins to resist the Yin wind. The two real men, one riding a duck and the other riding a cloud, were a few feet ahead, forming horns, and galloped towards the depths of the ghost cave.

After seven or eight days of being there, as if intimidated by the majestic reputation of the Holy Master, the ghosts disappeared in the ghost cave, leaving only the howling wind and the raging cold poison. Master Mei felt something was wrong, so he collected the clouds and mist, and gently and skillfully landed on the ground. He walked slowly and looked around, seeming to notice something strange.

Master Lan pressed Feifu and looked at it intently. He was a little unsure and said hesitantly: "Could it be the magical power of 'So close to the end of the world'?"

Mei Zhenren nodded and said: "Absolutely. This is a trick left by the devil. It is indeed difficult to detect." She flicked out a plain white jade talisman with her fingers. It was like a flying shuttle, with two pointed ends, flying up and down in the cold wind. Once, it stuck to the void, as if bound by an invisible thread, trembling slightly and making a rustling sound.

The jade talisman hung above his head. Master Mei looked up for a long time. He placed his heels alternately on his toes and walked diagonally for several feet step by step. Another jade talisman popped out and stuck in the void.

She calculated while popping up the jade talismans. Thirty-six of them were laid out in no time at all. They were scattered at different heights and pointed in different directions. No two were exactly the same.

Wei Shiqi saw that Master Mei was setting up an array with jade talismans.

He is no stranger to the art of talismans. In order to study the sword field, he dabbled in all kinds of talismans, talisman formations, restrictions, magic formations, and formation diagrams. Generally speaking, the loops of talismans are linked together to form a talisman array, and the stacking and interspersing of talisman arrays are called bans. The smaller scale of the ban is the magic circle, such as the Shuiyun Magic Circle of the Demon Suppressing Tower, and the larger scale is the formation diagram, such as the Hetian Formation of Jie Tianling. picture.

When cultivating immortals in the lower realms, sword cultivation and weapon cultivation are the most respected, and talisman cultivation and so on come down. The art of talismans comes from the all-encompassing Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra, and its inheritance relies on the three halls of Taiyi Sect: Lingxiao, Bullfighting, and Yulu. There are not many people, and the classics and techniques are not as complete as sword cultivation and weapon cultivation. There are many inconsistencies and incomprehensibility. The use of talismans in the temple is inherited from the "five-wheeled puppet" left by ancient monks. Instead of driving "talisman", it is better to use "talisman" to drive "weapons". The exquisiteness is far inferior and cannot be compared with the ancient monks. In Wei Shiqi's opinion, this move was astray and far from the road.

Tracing back to the source, only the "Sword Domain" is a pure talisman.

There are three types of talismans: "paper talisman", "fixed talisman" and "meaning talisman". According to the division of the lower realm, the jade talisman is a type of "fixed talisman", such as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Magic Talisman in Lingxiao Palace. Master Mei used jade talismans to set up the formation. This technique was unheard of and unseen before. Wei Shiqi was so happy when he saw the hunting spirit, which confirmed each other with the talisman skills he had learned, and he secretly remembered it.

Master Mei laid out thirty-six jade charms and stood still. He hid his five fingers in his sleeves and counted them for a long time to confirm that they were correct. He raised his index finger a little, and all the jade charms lit up, shooting out thin and bright rays of light that reflected each other. Interspersed, densely interwoven into one piece.

Wei Shiqi felt something in front of his eyes, as if he had been in darkness for a long time, and suddenly saw sunlight, he couldn't help but put his hand out to block his eyes. The light suddenly rose and died, the jade talisman turned into powder, and rustling scattered on the ground. He rubbed his eyes, looked intently, and found that he was still in the dark and cold ghost cave. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but everything in front of him There seems to be some subtle change, but the reason is unclear.

Master Lan said "Hey" and flew forward quickly on his flying bird. With a flick of his sleeves, a large bright light talisman swayed forward. Suddenly, there was a bright light, and he saw an undulating mountain range lying in front of him in the wilderness. , winding like a dragon and snake, with no end in sight.

The light and heat seemed endless. Lan Zhen stood on Fu's back, gently pushed his palm, and the Great Ming Light Talisman moved forward slowly, illuminating the details of the mountains one by one. There is nothing on the barren Zhuotong Mountain except for the ferocious black rocks. The cold poison rises from the depths of the earth, mixes with the billowing Yin Qi, rushes over the mountains, and pours like a mountain torrent, submerging the wilderness.

The shadow bead on his chest radiated a dense heat, blocking the coldness from his body. Wei Shiqi took a deep breath, and the problem that had been bothering him for a long time suddenly became clear. The ghost cave is vast and it is hard to tell the direction, because this small world has no direction at all. It is like a cut onion, expanding outward layer by layer. The portal built by the Longze tail-eating snake is in the center, from the inside out. , the first level is ordinary ghosts, the second level is ghost soldiers and ghost generals, the third level is ghost monks, and the fourth level is winding mountains. Mei Zhenren used thirty-six jade talismans to form an array and cracked the ghost monks The guarded third floor was "so close to the end of the world" before arriving at the fourth floor.

"Interesting..." Mei Zhenren was slightly moved. She rose up from the clouds and caught up with Lan Zhenren. The two of them were under the light and heat of the Great Ming Light Talisman. Their clothes were fluttering and they looked as graceful as fairies.

Lan Zhen said: "This mountain range is not the edge of the ghost cave. Yin Qi is flowing, and there is no other world outside the mountain."

"Yes or no, you will know once you find out."

Lan Zhenren looked back and saw Wei Shiqi riding a Yin horse riding the wind. He walked a few feet forward and hit an invisible barrier. The one-horned Yin horse trembled with its four hooves, whined and hissed, and did not dare to cross even half a step. , Wei Shiqi patted the horse's neck, comforted him for a moment, turned over, jumped out of the saddle, and walked forward.

Master Lan smiled slightly. There was indeed something strange about this mountain range. Not even the one-horned Yinma dared to enter without permission. She reached out and made a move, and the shadow bead shot out a white light, circled around him several times, lifted Wei Shiqi up steadily, and threw it towards Fei Fu like a cloud and mist, and landed on Fu Fu's tail.

"Stand still!" Master Lan urged Feifu, used the Great Bright Light Talisman to open the way, and jumped into the undulating mountains.
