It can be seen that this middle-aged monk with a beard on his face is not satisfied with Jining's cultivation. Jining also saw the middle-aged monk's thoughts and didn't care about his dissatisfaction. Jining was a little surprised and didn't understand that the middle-aged monk cared so much about his cultivation.
Jining has always believed that guarding the ban is the simplest thing and does not require high levels of cultivation!
Jining had already learned when he was in Sunset Mountain that this middle-aged monk with a strong body and beard was named Tong Yin. He was the son of the third elder of the Tong family, a powerful cultivator in Dongzhou. He had been in Sunset Mountain for ten years.
Jining sat cross-legged on the unknown animal skin cushion. The unknown animal skin cushion spread a little warmth, making him feel much more comfortable.
Jining sensed that the Yin evil energy in the room was now much rarer than in Xuanyin Cave, but the Yin evil energy would corrode the monk's body. This place was not suitable for cultivation, so he could only lie down on this unknown animal skin mat to rest!
Jining closed his eyes and realized that the Yunyin Sword in his body was still consuming his spiritual power! I feel a little depressed in my heart. If I can't practice here for a month, the spiritual power in my body will definitely be absorbed by Yunyin Sword. If I can't restore the spiritual power in time, let alone improve my cultivation, it will be like this sunset. Mountains don’t live long either.
At about midnight the next morning, Jining just walked out of the stone house and saw Tong Yin already at the door. Jining didn't get a good rest last night and seemed a little out of sorts, but Tong Yin was just the opposite. It seemed that the evil spirit here had not affected him.
Tong Yin glanced at Jining and said, "Today, you and I will go to the first formation point to check the restrictions." After that, he walked out of the stone house, and Jining followed.
Jining followed Tong Yin through a hill. A quarter of an hour later, they came to a dark cave entrance several feet square. The entrance seemed to be covered with a thin layer of pale white light curtain! There is a gray stone staircase extending downward below the cave entrance.
Tong Yin walked to the entrance of the cave and took out a jade slip to inject spiritual power. The jade slip emits glow and enveloped him. After the light curtain at the entrance of the cave touched the jade slip's glow, a gap appeared in the light curtain. Tong Yin did not look at Jining. Walk straight down.
After Jining saw it, he quickly took out a jade slip given to him by Manager Zhu, injected spiritual power into the jade slip and walked towards the entrance of the cave!
When Jining stepped on the gray stone steps, he felt a strong evil spirit coming towards him, making Jining feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He immediately felt the slightest trace of evil spirit seeping into his body, and Jining quickly summoned his spirit. Strength, condensing spiritual power into a shield on the surface of the body. Not only is the yin energy so strong here, but Jining feels that spiritual consciousness is also limited here. Jining's spiritual consciousness was originally limited to a range of ten miles, but now here Jining feels that he can only detect a distance of a hundred meters!
Jining secretly sighed in his heart, the evil spirit of Xuanyin Cave was really powerful. If he stayed here for too long, his body would not be able to withstand the corrosive power of this evil spirit.
Seeing that Tong Yin was already walking forward, Jining quickly followed. At this time, Jining felt that the first floor of Xuanyin Cave seemed to be another vast space. There was no sun, moon, or stars in the sky. It was pitch black. Through a faint ray of light, Jining looked through the fog and vaguely saw the endless mountains in the distance. , Jining felt in his heart that the space here seemed to be two different worlds from the land of Dongzhou outside Xuanyin Cave.
Jining continued to walk forward and felt that the first floor of Xuanyin Cave was filled with thick fog. At this time, Jining saw that Tong Yin became cautious after entering the first floor of Xuanyin Cave. Suddenly, a like-like creature appeared in front of him. It's a little macaque monster, but this monster has an evil aura all over its body that makes Jining feel a little uncomfortable.
The little strange monkey is very adaptable to the environment here. It takes a deep breath of evil energy and makes a strange sound of happiness. Jining felt that Tong Yin gave an order to the little strange monkey, and the little strange monkey walked in one direction. Then Tong Yin followed the little strange monkey and walked forward. Jining could only follow when he saw it.
Vision is blurred in the fog, and it is basically impossible to see clearly from a distance of several meters. Jining used his spiritual sense to realize that there were also some evil and strange creatures in the mist, such as various reptiles that were seen in the forest, and there were also creatures like butterflies, but these strange creatures all exuded an evil spirit.
However, these ghastly reptiles were a little afraid of the aura of the little strange monkey, and they stayed away when they sensed the aura of the little strange monkey.
Jining and his party walked in one direction for almost an hour, but the speed was not very fast, and they only walked more than 20 miles. Jining knew that three or four miles away from here was where the first set of eyes was.
"Huh?" Jining felt that there was an evil snake creature about a hundred meters in front of him, staring at him and the others in an eerie manner.
When Jining made this "eh" sound, Tong Yin turned around and glanced at Jining with dissatisfaction and was about to say something.
At this moment, Jining sensed a Yin snake flying over like an arrow from a string!
"Be careful!" he shouted to Tong Yin quickly, and then hurriedly took out the black turtle shield to protect himself. When Tong Yin saw it, he quickly used his spiritual power to transform a spiritual energy shield in front of him.
With a "bang" sound, a sinister snake hit Tong Yin's aura shield. It seemed that it did not expect the aura shield to appear suddenly. The strange snake crawled away quickly after seeing that the attack missed.
At this time, Jining saw Tong Yin's pale face and seemed to be frightened by this sinister snake. "Yin-ringed snake, how can there be a Yin-ringed snake here!" Tong Yin said to himself with a somewhat ugly face!
Tong Yin looked at Jining and hesitated to speak. After bowing to Jining, he continued to walk towards the formation. Jining found that the little strange monkey seemed to be frightened by the ringed snake. It lost its liveliness before and cautiously walked forward.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jining and the others came to a piece of flat land on which there were several simple and low stone houses.
Jining knew that the innermost stone house was where the formation's eye was. Tong Yin put away the little strange monkey, took out the dark red jade slips and walked towards the house in the formation, and Jining followed!
Walking into this stone room, I saw a huge stone in the middle of the stone room with a flat hexagonal shape on all four sides. The huge stone was engraved with mysterious runes. There was a groove in the middle of the stone room, and a crystal stone in the groove exuded a faint blue light.
Tong Yin looked at the energy of the crystal, checked around and then exited the room with Jining.
Perhaps it was Jining's reminder just now that allowed him to escape the disaster, and his attitude towards Jining also changed a lot. He asked Jining whether he needed to rest for a while before going to the next formation. Along the way, Jining used his spiritual power to resist the evil spirit, which made Jining feel that the spiritual power loss in his body was a bit large. If he continued to rush to the next formation, The formation felt quite strenuous, so he told Tong Yin that he wanted to take a rest. Tong Yin seemed to have guessed it, and walked into one of the low stone houses with Jining.
Jining walked into another stone house and found that this stone house was very similar to the stone house where he rested yesterday. It also had four rooms. However, I found that there were several monks sitting on the open space in front of the room. Their expressions were not very good. These monks were basically at the peak of Qi training. They all knew Tong Yin and nodded to say hello when they saw Tong Yin. They were a little surprised when they saw Jining's cultivation!
Tong Yin told Jining to rest until noon and then set off at noon. Then he used a jade slip to open the ban on one of the rooms and walked in!
Jining also walked to the room on the far right, used the jade slip to open the ban and walked in. The layout inside was similar, with just a stone bed, but an unknown animal skin cushion was missing.
Jining couldn't control the evil spirit here. He took out dozens of low-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag with a wave of his hand, placed them according to the rules and started practicing.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Jining opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He found that he had been meditating for almost two hours, and it was almost noon. During this period of practice, Jining had recovered his lost spiritual power. However, when Jining checked his body, he found a trace of evil energy in his Dantian. Although this trace of Yin evil energy has not had much impact on him for the time being, Jining understands that if he inhales Yin evil energy for a long time, accumulating to a certain amount will definitely cause problems in his cultivation. But now there is no other way but to restore the spiritual power in the body first, and then return to Fangshi to find a solution after the current nursing restriction is over.
Jining walked out of the room and saw Tong Yin already waiting for him, but this time he did not show dissatisfaction. After seeing Jining walking out, he said hello to a few monks he knew, and then walked out of the stone house first.
Because after encountering the attack of the Yin-ring snake just now, Tong Yin became more and more cautious about this journey, and followed the little strange monkey closely. The little strange monkey was full of spirituality. The attack by the Yin-ring snake just now made it become Be careful, your ears stand up, and your green eyes turn!
The rest of the journey was relatively calm, and they did not encounter any danger. After checking two formations in succession, they calculated that the time was now Youshi, because the evil spirit would surge during Maohai Zichou's time. It would be extremely dangerous if the monks were not in the shelter when the tide surged! The two of them settled in a stone house next to the third formation.
During the rest of the journey, Tong Yin occasionally chatted with Jining. Only then did Jining learn that this formation was called the "Thirty-six Chain Formation of True Evil". In addition, Tong Yin said that looking at the appearance of the Yin-ringed snake today, he said that this Yin-ringed snake should It is a second-level Yin beast, and it is also a more powerful Yin beast among the second-level Yin beasts. It seems that the tide of Yin beasts once every ten years is coming soon. By then, a large number of Yin beasts will appear in the first and second floors of Xuanyin Cave, and even With the emergence of level three Yin beasts, it will become more and more dangerous for them to guard the formation restrictions.
After Tong Yin said this, Jining knew that usually there were only second-level Yin beasts on the first and second floors of Xuanyin Cave, but once every ten years a large number of Yin beasts would rush out from the depths of Xuanyin Cave. Which one , Yin beasts of level three or above will also appear on the second floor.
Level two Yin beasts generally have the strength of monks at the peak of Qi training, but monks cannot exert their full strength in the Xuanyin cave, so monks in the Qi training stage can only deal with Level two Yin beasts.
