Chapter 3422
"Swish …" With a sound of water, Xiao Hua's mouth and nose are suddenly flooded with ice-cold river water. It's like he's plunging into a saint river.
Xiao Hua wants to use the Water Avoidance Art without hesitation, but just as the true essence in his meridians is surging, the river water in front of him instantly disappears. Not far away, Xin Xin is holding a goose egg-sized bead in her hand. That bead is emitting a blue brilliance, blocking the river water within a hundred feet. It's a Water Avoidance Bead.
Standing on the left side of Xin Xin is Gu Zhen, whose body has transformed into the size of an ordinary person. Sitting on the right side of Xin Xin is Ci Hui, whose face is dark red.
On the contrary, Xin Xin's gaze falls on Xiao Hua. Her eyes flash with a pensive expression, she says faintly: "Little monk, I have to thank you. If not for you being able to accurately predict the formation door's appearance, we wouldn't have been able to enter this place even with Immortal friend Ci Hui's [Heart's Fulfillment Art]."
"Hehe, it's nothing."
Xiao Hua says half-heartedly. Looking left and right at the river water outside the Water Avoidance Bead, he says with a smile: "I only had a slight feeling that's all!
Everything is because of senior brother Ci Hui. If not for his [Heart's Fulfillment Art], how could we have entered? "
"Senior brother Ci Hui's contribution is naturally great, but … if not for your reminder, we wouldn't have been able to concentrate on finding the door in advance …" Xin Xin stares at Xiao Hua and says again.
At this moment, Ci Hui also opens his eyes and says with a forced smile: "Indeed, when junior brother Di Pu reminded me, I already activated my mental force and prepared myself.
Junior brother's reminder is the finishing touch. "
Xiao Hua looks Xin Xin up and down, he says with a smile: "I've always felt that I'm a burden. Being able to lend senior brother a hand today, my heart naturally feels at ease. There's no need to mention anything about claiming credit."
"Little monk, just now when the door appeared, you seemed to want to say something. Could it be that you were able to foresee the appearance of the door?
Could it be that you know this ancient formation? "Gu Zhen seems to have thought of something and says.
Xiao Hua touches his nose and says with a bitter smile: "What are you talking about Great Master?
This is an ancient Daoist formation, how could I know?
Just now when this little monk came in, I was still puzzled. I had clearly rushed through the door, but why did it look like I had plunged headfirst into the river? "
Seeing that Xiao Hua didn't admit it, Xin Xin didn't ask anymore. She only said, "Little monk, if you know anything, you can tell us. We are now one body, we must advance and retreat together. Don't hide anything."
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Xiao Hua nodded his head like a chick pecking rice, "For this little monk's own life, this little monk will also tell you everything he knows."
Xin Xin snorted coldly, then reached out her hand and took out a jade box. She turned to Ci Hui and asked, "Fellow Immortal Ci Hui, are you done resting?
We don't have much time, so we need to hurry. "
Ci Hui slowly got up and nodded, "Xin Tanyue, don't worry. I am fine now."
"Ci Hui, fly behind this old monk!"
Gu Zhen looks at the water curtain on the left. Outside the water curtain, there are some strange swimming fishes and some grayish black seaweed. There are no bones to be seen. He doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, so he says in a deep voice, "You rashly used the Relic's psychokinesis, shaking the Relic's foundation. You should use more heart to nourish it, it's not good to use psychokinesis again."
"Yes, thank you Martial Ancestor!" Ci Hui slightly nods, the Buddhist light around her body flickers. She should be following the instructions to cast the spell.
"Nu Tanyue, where do we fly to next?" Gu Zhen asks Xin Xin again.
Xin Xin says with confidence: "Great Master, don't worry. This is the bottom of the Sage River, thousands of feet deep. We are surrounded by river water, so it's hard to determine our direction. Although we have the Water Avoidance Pearl, we can't fly at will. Once we touch the formation's restriction, we can't go forward anymore.
I have a secret talisman of the Daoist Gate here, it's time to use it. "
"Amitabha, then I'll have to trouble Nu Tanyue!" Gu Zhen puts his palms together and stands to the side.
As early as when Xin Xin took out that jade box, Xiao Hua already saw clearly that there was a talisman of the Daoist Gate stuck on the outside of the jade box. Inside the jade flute must be the magic tool that Xin Xin used to break the formation.
Xin Xin raises her eyes to look at Xiao Hua, then spits out a mouthful of true qi on the jade box. That talisman stuck on the box immediately floats up, flashes in midair and turns into a pile of ashes.
As soon as the talisman disappears, a ball of dark green brilliance comes out of the jade box. A wave of magic power familiar to Xiao Hua is transmitted along with the brilliance.
"Oh, what magic tool is this?
It seems the magic power's fluctuation is very strange! "Xiao Hua doesn't dare to spread his divine sense far, only sweeping it in front of him. He is somewhat stunned as he thinks.
Xin Xin then raises her hand and opens the lid of the jade box. A two fingers wide and four fingers long flat jade flies out of the jade box …
"Jade talisman??"
A kind of surprise flashes in Xiao Hua's eyes. This kind of jade talisman is rarely seen in the Dawn Rain Continent where the Daoist Gate is flourishing. How can it appear in the Buddhist Gate's Nirvana World?
What is the origin of this Xin Xin?
Is it possible that a disciple of a Confucian family can use the Daoist Gate's jade talisman?
Sure enough, Xin Xin opens her mouth and spits out another ball of true qi. This true qi is different from before. When it lands in the air, it immediately takes the shape of a sword. Xin Xin's left hand grabs the air as if she is holding the flying sword. Then, as if she is forming a seal, that flying sword rapidly moves in midair. "Go …" Xin Xin lightly reprimands. The true qi condensed into a flying sword suddenly explodes. The true qi rushes into the seal that was drawn on the flying sword before. Xin Xin pushes her hand again. That true qi hits the jade talisman in midair.
"Crack crack crack …" A burst of chaotic sounds, that jade talisman explodes like a blossoming emerald flower. Thousands of green lights fly in all directions …
"Ka ka ka ka …" The green lights emitted the splendor of the Water Avoidance Pearl. Once they touch the water curtain outside, the water curtain immediately changes. Some parts turn into nothingness, while other parts condense into ice.
In particular, this splendor rapidly extends into the distance. A beautiful ice palace unexpectedly appears in front of Xiao Hua and the others.
"This … this …" Not to mention Xiao Hua's surprise, even Ci Hui and Gu Zhen, who have already discussed this beforehand, look at the ice palace that suddenly appears in disbelief. They are speechless.
"This is the ancient Daoist Gate's Ice Condensing Talisman!"
Unexpectedly, Xin Xin blinked her eyes mischievously and explained in a somewhat showy manner, "Mo Yuntong mentioned that the channel of this magic formation is condensed by the water-based Qi of Heaven and Earth. It does not prevent the river water from flowing in. Even the river water in the channel … may be an illusion created by the magic formation."
At this point, Xin Xin glances at Gu Zhen and continues to say, "Just by using the Imperial Equipment in the Water Avoidance Pearl, we can't distinguish the true formation channel.
Moreover, if we are not careful, it is very easy to fall into the formation and not be able to escape.
Mo Yuntong mentioned an idea. If the river water in this channel is frozen, presumably the illusory river water will disappear and the true channel will appear.
However, this method has very high requirements for the cultivator who uses the Ice Sealing Technique. Not only must they have enough Dharma power, but they must also control the technique to the smallest detail and not touch the formation.
Coincidentally, I have seen a Daoist Gate's Ice Sealing Talisman. This thing itself is a water type talisman. It is of the same origin as the formation in this river. Therefore, I don't need to know any Ice Sealing Technique, I only need to use this talisman! "
"Even more coincidentally …" Xiao Hua can't help but say, "Benefactress also knows how to use the Daoist Gate's talisman with Confucian cultivation's True Qi!
Say, how can things in this world be so coincidental? "
"It really is!"
Xin Xin smiled proudly and pointed to the depths of the ice palace. "It's such a coincidence. Now, we only need to fly inside and not touch the walls of the passage, and we will be able to find the trace of the immortal artifact."
"Alas, Xin Tanyue is indeed well-prepared!"
Ci Hui sighs again, "If it was someone else, even if they came in, they would have to touch the formation's restriction sooner or later."
"Hee hee, let's go!
It seems to be very big inside. My True Qi has already been suppressed. Your Buddhist senses can't go very far, right?
We still have a long way to go! "Xin Xin flies up first. She has already put away the Water Avoidance Pearl, but still holds the flexible sword in her hand.
Seeing Xin Xin fly up, Gu Zhen glanced at Ci Hui and followed behind without saying anything. Ci Hui smiled and said to Xiao Hua, "Thank you, Junior Brother Tip, for covering the rear for us!"
"It's no problem. This is the safest place.
This little monk can't ask for more! "Xiao Hua raises his hand and asks Ci Hui to fly first.
The four people fly up, with Xiao Hua at the back. He tries to release his Buddhist senses. Sure enough, it is extremely suppressed and can't go more than ten feet. Moreover, the formation channels in the four walls also block his Buddhist senses, so it can't go out at all.
But fortunately, Xiao Hua feels that his soul sense is not suppressed too much. If it can, it can go very far.
"These are … bones!!!"
Not long after flying out, Xiao Hua is trying to use his soul sense. In front of him, Xin Xin calls out with some hesitation. Xiao Hua looks up. On the ice channel several feet away, there is an area densely packed with hundreds and thousands of bones.
These bones are already scattered. It is impossible to tell what kind of bones they are. Moreover, the size of the bones is also different. Some are half a foot long, some are several feet long. They are obviously not human bones.
"Alas, amitabha …" Gu Zhen's slightly sorrowful voice rises, "Thank you for the reminder.
This old monk has already seen it. Although this old monk is already prepared, when faced with these bones, my heart is complicated. This formation must be the skeleton of my younger brother. This formation is so miraculous. With this old monk's current cultivation, this old monk can't deal with it. How can he escape at that time?
Forget it. Since this old monk can face his skeleton, this old monk can recite the Rebirth Mantra several times. This old monk has already fulfilled his lifelong wish. "
After saying that, Gu Zhen sits cross-legged in front of the ice wall formed by the bones. He puts his palms together and devoutly recites the Rebirth Mantra. Strands of elemental energy are sent into the ice wall along with Gu Zhen's chanting.
Unfortunately, the ice wall has no reaction at all. It is like a clay ox entering the sea.
