Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan looked up and saw a wide range of ruins appearing in the morning mist: "Is Yiling ahead?"

"Really?" Yun Zheng said: "It is said that Yiling used to be our Qingming's fairy city. Later, when Jiuyou came to attack, the fairy city became a battlefield and was destroyed in the battle between the two parties. It should be here."

The two pressed their cloud heads and entered the ruins from the street that was flooded with weeds. Occasionally they passed a collapsed house. White mist flowed from the cracks in the wall, carrying a rotten musty smell.

The two of them followed Yujiu to this point, and what they saw was the ruins of a fairy city that had been silent for who knows how many thousands of years, abandoned houses, collapsed Taoist platforms, and a mountain peak in the distance. The left half of the mountain was neatly chopped down, only The remaining half is still standing.

Devastated, dead and desolate.

The two walked through the ruins with concentration and vigilance, and soon arrived in front of the mountain peak. After bypassing the steep mountain wall, they saw a huge pit suddenly blocking the way forward. The fog in the pit was extremely thick, and it was difficult to see how deep it was.

And looking at it, there are dozens of such deep pits one after another. It is unknown how they were created. They are scattered on the ground like ugly scars.

Yunzheng lowered his voice and said: "I heard that in the battle that year, both sides suffered extremely heavy casualties. The blood that flowed out filled these big pits. The bloody atmosphere and resentment persisted for years, and in the end the fairy city had to be abandoned. This It will take tens of thousands of years to be useless.”

Liu Qinghuan's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the deep pit with thick fog and said: "Yiling is an ancient battlefield. The battles are particularly fierce at the beginning of each war season, and there are more casualties. However, the killing in such a place of war is too heavy, so naturally It is much more dangerous than ordinary places. The souls of those who die in battles rarely find peace, and it can easily become a dangerous place."

"However, there is no evil or death in this place. It should have been specially treated. The great monk's method was used to transcend the souls of the dead, and the filth was burned away with pure Yang fire. It was then exposed to the sun for a long time, so it is very clean now."

"I don't think it's clean." Yun Zheng said disapprovingly. He swung his sword casually, and the icy sword light suddenly struck down. A large area of ​​fog in the pit was split, but soon the fog from other places flowed over to fill the gap.

"Senior Brother Ji, did you say that Yujiu appeared in Yiling? Isn't he hiding in these pits? Should we go down to explore?"

Liu Qinghuan was about to answer when he saw a figure suddenly flying out of the pit three pits away.

"It seems that there is no need. Someone came earlier than us and has already visited."

It was a Mahayana monk. He glanced sharply at the two of them, then walked away without saying a word, disappearing into the lingering mist.

Liu Qinghuan and Yun Zheng looked at each other: "Let's follow up and take a look."

They had been in Yiling for a long time, and they only met this one person. There should be others in the ruins. Sure enough, not long after, they saw a few more people walking in and out of those big pits.

Liu Qinghuan was a little anxious. He knew that Yujiu might be hiding nearby, but he couldn't find any trace. The only thing that could give him some peace of mind was that Mu Yinyin and others should be fine for the time being.

He and Mu Yinyin were two monks who made a vow between heaven and earth under the witness of heaven. If something happened to one of them, the other would feel it no matter how far apart they were. As long as she is here, she will try her best to protect others.

In addition, Yujiu is suspicious and arrogant by nature, and hates him deeply. He will not miss the opportunity to torture him with his own hands. If he wants to kill someone, he will kill him in front of him, because this will make him more painful.

But if the time drags on for too long, there is no guarantee that Yujiu will not lose patience, so Liu Qinghuan seems calm on the face now, but he is very anxious and just wants to find the other party quickly.

I searched one big pit after another, and met some more people. In addition to the Mahayana monks, there were gradually people of all kinds of cultivation. I saw that they were people who came to join in the fun after getting the news. There were more and more shouts and shouts in the ruins.

"Have you ever looked for this pit?"

"I've looked for it. I just came up from below, and there's nothing inside except bones and dregs all over the floor."

"Not this, not that. Is there any hiding place here? Isn't Yujiu escaping again?"

"If you run away, run away haha. Anyway, I'm just here to join in the fun. Besides, if he really comes out, we will be the ones running away!"

The constant chattering made Liu Qinghuan increasingly irritable. Just as he was about to scold him, he heard Yun Zheng calling him: "Come here quickly!"

Liu Qinghuan saw him squatting by the pit as if looking at something, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yunzheng suddenly jumped into the pit, and his body was submerged in the thick fog in the blink of an eye.

Liu Qinghuan was startled and jumped down quickly, and saw Yun Zheng digging the sand at the bottom of the pit with his sword.

The sand has coarse particles and is pale in color. It is made from broken bones. It is piled up layer by layer at the bottom of the pit. You can dig down three feet and still not reach the bottom.

"Did you find something?"

Yun Zheng looked up at him, his sharp eyebrows furrowed: "Wait a minute, I'll confirm it before talking!"

With that said, he stopped digging and flew up.

Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to follow him out of the big pit and watched him descend into several more pits in succession, digging each pit.

"Sure enough!" Yun Zheng wiped off the bone sand on his hands, looking a little annoyed.

Liu Qinghuan looked at his feet without knowing why, and saw that the layer of bone sand he dug was only about a foot thick, and below that was soil.

"There are fewer bones buried in this pit?"

Liu Qinghuan guessed, squatting down and taking a closer look, his face suddenly changed slightly!

Yun Zheng had already flashed and was in mid-air, overlooking the earth from a high position.

They have almost finished digging through this area. Although the dozens of large pits are deep and wide, there are many of them and they have seen most of them. There is not even a skeleton of a corpse inside.

Outside the big pit, in front is the mountain peak with only the right half left and the ruins of the original fairy city. There are rolling mountains on the left and right. But behind him, there was a dry swamp that could be seen at a glance.

"Yunzheng!" Liu Qinghuan said with some surprise: "Is that hole just dug newly?"

Yun Zheng turned his head and said: "Yes, and it is well concealed. It will be difficult to find it without deliberately exploring!"

He pointed down and said: "There are so many pits here, which have existed here for many years in obscurity. Maybe someone knew how many there were at first. However, when Yiling was cleaned up, few people came to ask about them. Knowing the details The number of people is gradually disappearing, so no one will pay attention to whether there are more or less, and no one cares whether they have moved. "

Yun Zheng's face became more and more solemn: "And I just discovered that the arrangement of these big pits is also very strange..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream from below. A monk who was standing by the pit suddenly seemed to be entangled in something and was suddenly pulled into the large pit filled with white mist!
