I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 389 Peach Blossom Spring

"Continue to patrol the town and notify me at any time if you find any unusual behavior. Be careful to hide your identity." Chen Ping explained.

"Yes, Master."

Xu Ruyan disappeared from the spot lightly.

Her Seven Injury Technique has been practiced almost to perfection. Unless she has a very high-level exorcism Law Treasure or a monk, her existence is generally not felt.

Perfect for testing information.

Chen Ping sat down cross-legged to calm down.

Analyze the current situation in detail.

According to these weird monks, today is the day of the full moon, and only by carving a stone tablet can one obtain the protection of the stone tablet and avoid being illuminated by the lighthouse.

Once exposed, the place will be petrified into a stone tablet.

The problem is, he tried that when he carved the stone tablet, it would also speed up the progress of his own assimilation.

With each strike of the hammer, the body becomes bluer.

Consciousness becomes more numb, more zombie-like.

…It’s stuck in an endless loop.

But now, it is starting to get dark, and the moon may rise soon.

He will definitely die by then.

'These people are not evil, but they are very different from ordinary people...'

Chen Ping thought hard.

etc?

Phantom array?

Thinking of this, Chen Ping felt excited.

The "Hundred Flowers Totem Formation" he is currently practicing is an offensive and defensive Rank Three formation that can cause hallucinations and even inner demons in the wrong person.

But.

That’s not right either.

He has currently practiced "Hundred Flowers Totem Array" to the level of 'proficient' and has a certain understanding of this array. The so-called 'hallucination' will make the person who strays into the past unable to extricate himself from the joys, sorrows, angers, joys and sorrows of the past. , the people and things you see are all people and things that have strayed into the person's own life experience.

But he didn't know anyone in this town.

Moreover, the so-called illusion array is to make the mistaken entrant fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate himself. In this case, the mistaken entrant himself is confused.

But Chen Ping knew very well that he was very sober.

Isn't this a fantasy array?

Wanting to understand this, Chen Ping's original idea was ruthlessly extinguished. If it was really an illusory formation, as an formation master, he might still have something to do.

But now we are at an impasse again.

Just when Chen Ping was stuck in thought, Xu Ruyan hurried back:

"Master, come to life, come to life."

"What came back to life?" Chen Ping was confused.

"The nun whom the master killed came back to life."

Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat.

Can these monks be killed?

"How did you survive?" He asked himself to stay calm.

"Yan'er doesn't know. Yan'er also discovered by chance that the female cultivator was intact as before. Even the young cultivator who was seriously injured by his master was carving the stone tablet hammer by hammer, just like when he first met her." Xu Ruyan explained. .

Chen Ping came back to his senses and nodded.

Calmness soon returned.

There are too many weird situations here, and he no longer reacts too violently to them, and is somewhat accustomed to them.

However, it can be seen from this incident that these monks are definitely not normal living people.

It’s getting more and more incredible.

"There is another thing. There is something strange about one of the stone tablets in the center of the town. Yan'er saw a female monk walking out of the stone tablet, but seeing the sunset here, she returned to the stone tablet not long after. That monk Like the master, his consciousness is clear, his behavior is normal, and he does not frequently knock on the stone tablets. It seems that he is also looking for a way out like his master." Xu Ruyan said.

Originally, Chen Ping was not too surprised when he heard about the female rehabilitation worker, but when he heard the news from Xu Ruyan, he felt huge waves in his heart.

If Xu Ruyan's perception was correct, this meant that there were living people like him here.

This might give him more information.

"Yan'er just tried to enter the stone tablet, but there was something weird about the stone tablet, and Yan'er couldn't enter." Xu Ruyan said aggrievedly.

"Well, let's go and take a look."

Chen Ping flew back to the town again, and under the guidance of Xu Ruyan, came to the stone tablet.

He passed this stone tablet several times. The plump woman who invited him into the house to talk about it was right next door to the stone tablet. She was still hammering on the stone tablet with her back to the street.

The stone tablet in front of Chen Ping is ordinary.

It is no different from other stone tablets.

He looked at the darkening sky and decided to find out.

But he didn't go in by himself immediately. Although Xu Ruyan couldn't go in, he still had the Spirit Beast.

After receiving the order, Jiuyou Colorful Cicada turned around and flew towards the stone tablet. Sure enough, the moment it touched the stone tablet, the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada disappeared instantly.

After a while, the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada flew out again.

Under empathy, the situation inside the stone tablet is fully visible to his eyes.

...It turns out that there is another world behind the stone tablet!

Inside the stone monument is a dark passage with twists and turns. The passage was littered with corpses, and blood stained the walls. Blood formed pools in low areas.

There had obviously been a fight here.

When Jiuyou Colorful Cicada flew to the end of the passage, it was originally a dead end, but the next second Jiuyou Colorful Cicada was in a new environment.

——It is a beautiful peach blossom forest.

When the sun sets, the scenery is pleasant, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. Industrious farmers are working in the fields. The big yellow dog is taking a nap on the field ridge, occasionally raising its head and barking, children are chasing butterflies on the grass, and the smoke of the houses in the distance is wave…

Chen Ping found it difficult to connect the scenery on both sides of the stone monument.

There's nothing weird or bloody here.

There's even a little warmth.

Chen Ping reviewed all the visions of Jiuyou Colorful Cicada, but still found no elements that could solve the current situation.

At this moment, a dull rumbling sound suddenly came from the direction of the sea behind him.

Chen Ping suddenly rose into the air and saw the rough sea in the distance. A huge sea vortex appeared in one place, and the vortex continued to grow. Soon the diameter reached the length of an entire football field.

Then, the rumbling intensified.

A slender stone pillar rises slowly from the vortex in a spiral shape.

As this stone pillar rose higher, all the monks in the town looked back with horror on their faces.

"The lighthouse is up, it's over."

"Knock quickly, knock quickly, or it will be too late."

Then there was a louder "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound of tapping the stone tablet.

“…..”

Chen Ping twitched the corner of his mouth, and after thinking about it for a moment, he once again released the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada to explore the way ahead, and then followed closely behind him into the stone monument.

"Guchi, Guchi!"

The spiritual boots stepped on the blood, making a sticky sound.

Some coagulated blood drew streaks of blood between the soles of his shoes and the ground.

The entire passage was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Chen Ping saw the young monk, the old monk, and the plump female monk among the dead monks...

Even though the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada was clearing the way ahead, he still maintained an unusual sense of vigilance.

Fortunately, it went smoothly and we quickly reached the end of the passage.

The next breath, he appeared in the Peach Blossom Spring Village.

Unlike when he first appeared in the small town of Hailing Island, when he suddenly appeared in this farming village, everyone turned around and looked at him.

Then cheered.

A group of people even gathered around to watch.

"A guest is coming, a guest is coming."

"Hello uncle, where are you from?"

"Brother, is the outside world fun?"

"Uncle, did you bring any delicious candies?"

“…..”

Chen Ping secretly encouraged himself to prevent these people from getting too close to him.

At the same time, I also discovered that these people seemed to be mortals, with no monkish aura at all. The old woman is like this, the young girl is like this, and the child is like this.

At this moment, an old man dressed as a farmer broke through the crowd and walked over, scolding the naughty children:

"Go, go, let's go. Look at what you are doing, don't scare the guests."

Chen Ping learned from people's names that this old man was the village chief here.

The village chief came over and said kindly:

"My little friend is from Hailing Island Town, right?"

"Uncle knows Hailing Island Town." Chen Ping asked calmly.

"What don't you know about this? We all come from Hailing Island Town." The village chief smiled:

"It's extremely dangerous there. It's fate that my friend can come to Peach Blossom Village through there."

"You don't have to be polite, little friend. When you come here, you are from Taocun, and you are one family. There are not many rich resources in Taohua Village, but you can still live a happy and self-sufficient life. You will like it."

This is so heartwarming.

Just looking at such a scene, Chen Ping would suddenly think that he had really strayed into a peach blossom garden.

But his intuition told him that it might not be that simple.

So I didn't say much, just watched quietly and remained vigilant.

If this was really a normal village, these mortals would not be able to do anything to them. Even if they lay on the ground and let them chop for three days and three nights, they would not die.

But if this Taoyuan Village is really still in the universe, then it might not be that easy for me to just fly out like this.

It is better to wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, the village chief clapped his hands.

Then a very plump girl came out.

Just listen to the village chief say:

"The village here is much better than outside. Where are the girls distributed outside? There is in Taohua Village. From now on, Pink Taohua will be my wife. Everyone, please leave. Don't disturb my good deeds."

The Run girl named Fen Taohua looked at Chen Ping lovingly and bowed slightly to salute.

The moment Chen Ping's eyes met hers, she looked down at her belly, gently holding it with her hands, her eyes full of softness.

Then, her abdomen quickly grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pink peach blossom girl looked at Chen Ping and said excitedly:

"Husband, our child is kicking me in my belly. Husband, the child is about to be born. Can you give me a name?"

In the next breath, Peach Blossom Girl's abdomen returned to its original state, and a baby who was still swaddled and crying appeared in her hands.

Chen Ping couldn't help but frown deeply.

It's really not normal here.

At this moment, a voice came: "Fellow Daoist, please don't stay any longer. Please come down."

He suddenly turned his head and saw a figure sneaking forward quickly in the peach blossom forest.

Judging from the appearance, that person was exactly the female cultivator Xu Ruyan described.

Chen Ping sank down, turned around and followed quickly.

At the same time remain vigilant.

"Fellow Daoist, this way." After turning around a peach blossom forest, the female cultivator stopped in front of a cave entrance and motioned for Chen Ping to follow her into the cave.

Chen Ping didn't move. Although this person looked normal, that was just a 'look'.

He doesn't believe anyone now.

Seeing is not necessarily believing.

If I had to describe his current state in one sentence, it would be——

——Mom, I can’t tell.

——I really can’t tell the difference.

"It is inconvenient for me to enter the Fellow Daoist boudoir. Please tell me, Fellow Daoist, where is this place?" Chen Ping kept a distance and said calmly.

Seeing that Chen Ping was on guard, the female cultivator didn't care. She took a breath and said:

"It's reasonable for Fellow Daoist to be vigilant. I didn't believe anyone when I first came here two days ago. I'm Jiang Xuewei."

"This is not a secret realm, nor is it a truly strange place, but the universe of a Supreme Grade Law Treasure."

"Law Treasure Qiankun?" Chen Ping was shocked.

But on the surface, he maintained a calm expression.

The Law Treasure universe is somewhat similar to the formation, but there are also considerable differences. If it is really Law Treasure, these weird things here can indeed be arranged in advance.

Jiang Xuewei first asked Chen Ping why he entered here, and only gave an explanation after learning that he entered it by mistake.

turn out to be.

This Jiang Xuewei is a sect's genius, with a mid-level Gold Core cultivation. She met her enemy Jia Yile when she went out on a mission.

Was sneak attacked by Jia Yile.

But Jiang Xuewei had a lot of treasures, so even when she was attacked, she was not at a disadvantage. Instead, she severely injured the opponent. When she saw that she could kill the opponent, Jia Yile suddenly activated a Supreme Grade Law Treasure.

Pulled her into the universe.

And then get trapped here.

"I happen to be quite familiar with this Law Treasure. I have seen a similar one from Master before. There is a peach tree in this small cave, and that peach tree is the only exit."

"But this Supreme Grade Law Treasure cannot be destroyed by our cultivation. The initial cultivation of Nascent Soul cannot be destroyed by force, otherwise it will only cause the world to collapse, and you and I will die in it." Jiang Xuewei explained, talking about her nemesis At that time, my face was covered with frost.

Chen Ping couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the cave. It didn't matter about her grudges with Jia Yile, she only cared about how to get out:

"How can I get out of this exit?"

Jiang Xuewei sighed:

"It's easy and it's hard."

"The reason why I say simple is because Jia Yile did not hesitate to take risks and entered this universe himself in order to lure me into it. He just didn't expect that I also knew a lot about Law Treasure and occupied the exit first. As long as you find him, you can know how to activate the peach tree and get out of here. Although I understand the layout of Law Treasure, I don't understand the method of activating the exit."

After Jiang Xuewei entered the universe, because Jia Yile was seriously injured, she was unable to reach the Peach Blossom Land immediately. Instead, she hid herself, allowing Jiang Xuewei to take the advantage.

After Jiang Xuewei occupied the cave, she immediately arranged a formation to ensure that only she could enter the cave. In this way, even if Jia Yile found this place, it would take time to destroy the formation and cause movement, and then the first Time is known to her.

Of course, to be cautious, she did not dare to leave the cave for a long time to avoid any trouble.

This is the reason why Xu Ruyan saw her going in and out of the stone monument and then returning immediately after entering the town of Hailing Island.

"Although Jia Yile is the owner of Law Treasure, this is Law Treasure, not a formation. He also needs to use the exit to get out of here. So it's simple."

"But it's also difficult." Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly.

"Fellow Daoist comes from the small town of Hailing Island. He should know the situation here. Every person killed there will be assimilated. Killing is not allowed to find Jia Yile."

"And he is the holder of the Law Treasure, so he probably has the means to hide himself as a town citizen."

"Besides, in addition to the small town of Hailing Island, there is also this Taohua Village. There are many villagers, and we cannot kill them all. If Jia Yile hides in it, it will be difficult to find him. I don't have much time left to wait. I don't know whether Fellow Is there anything Daoist can do?”

Having said this, Jiang Xuewei looked at Chen Ping with expectation.

Chen Ping guessed that Jiang Xuewei might have seen the moment he first entered the Peach Blossom Spring, or even the moment the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada came in.

She was just confirming whether Chen Ping was Jia Yile's accomplice or an intruder.

Then it is very likely that Chen Ping was not an accomplice of Jia Yile through certain details, and then he decided to take the risk to cooperate.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't speak, Jiang Xuewei couldn't help but feel sad, guessing that Chen Ping had nothing to do.

He lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

A companion arrived, but there was still no solution.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang just said that there is not much time left for me to wait. What does this mean?"

Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly and said:

"Fellow Daoist came from Hailing Island, don't you know? On a full moon night, the only way to survive is by entering here."

Just like what the townspeople said, if you are bathed in the light of the lighthouse, you will turn into a stone monument on the spot and never be reincarnated.

One way is to sacrifice yourself, be willing to be assimilated, continue to carve stone tablets, sacrifice your soul, and seek the blessing of the god of stone tablets.

Another way is to enter Peach Blossom Village.

There are flowers, wine, delicious food, and the company of beautiful women, so you can quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery.

But entering Peach Blossom Village does not come without a price.

Not only that, but it's cruel.

That is the loss of life.

One night can shorten your life span by 30 years.

This is the lifespan reduction without coming into contact with those villagers. Once you come into contact with the villagers, the lifespan will be reduced even more.

It's possible to grow old overnight.

"After Fellow Daoist entered here, he not only married a wife, but also gave birth to a child. This time is not short. This period of contact is enough to reduce the life span of 200 years. That is, if you can't get out tonight, wait until the sun rises tomorrow. Fellow Daoist will suddenly lose 230 years of life."

Chen Ping suddenly looked at Jiang Xuewei, his anger almost bursting out, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes:

"When I entered the Peach Blossom Spring, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Jiang had already seen it, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xuewei quickly explained:

"Fellow Daoist, don't be surprised. If this process had not occurred, I would not be sure whether Fellow Daoist is Jia Yile's companion, and I would definitely not dare to show up rashly."

Chen Ping finally understood what she meant.

If he is Jia Yile's companion, he is here to kill her.

Then he should have known better than to come into contact with the villagers.

Even if they were doing it for real, they wouldn't be in contact for such a long time, because they couldn't be sure that they would be able to quickly deal with Jiang Xuewei. If they couldn't deal with it quickly, they might even run out of life.

Jiang Xuewei felt a little guilty and quickly explained:

"I know that Fellow Daoist must hate me. No matter how much Jiang Xuewei explains, I'm afraid it won't eliminate Fellow Daoist's resentment."

"But Fellow Daoist, rest assured that the reduction in lifespan is not reduced out of thin air, but rather like being corroded by evil spirits, which uses the magic principle of damaging one's own foundation to make people age instantly."

"In this case, as long as we can find this Law Treasure, my master is the head of Nascent Soul. Since there is this kind of Law Treasure, there will naturally be a spiritual fruit to make up for it. Jiang Xuewei can ask for this spiritual fruit for Fellow Daoist then. , make up for the foundation and naturally restore longevity.”

Chen Ping said nothing.

He forced down the anger in his heart.

Shou Yuan is what he has been pursuing, the most important thing...

This is a thorn.

But now is obviously not the time to pursue this. The top priority is to find Jia Yile.

It is to get out of the world.

If you can get out of the universe after dawn, your lifespan will not be affected at all.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang thinks that Jia Yile is more likely to be in Peach Blossom Spring or Hailing Island?" Chen Ping asked.

Seeing that Chen Ping's expression softened slightly, Jiang Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's hard to say, this is his territory. But I prefer that he stayed on Hailing Island. Jia Yile was seriously injured and needs to practice secretly. Taohua Village is not big, and it is all under my consciousness. He operates secretly The space is smaller…”

If it is Peach Blossom Spring, Jiang Xuewei can investigate and guard the exit cave at the same time.

But if it was Hailing Island, Jiang Xuewei would be beyond his reach.

"Even so, for thirty years of life every night, you and I are both Gold Cores. As long as we don't come into contact with these villagers in Peach Blossom Land tonight, we can return to Hailing Island tomorrow. And Hailing Island is only in danger on full moon nights. I still have a lot of time to investigate slowly, but I don’t have to lose any more life span, right?”

In Chen Ping's impression, there is only one full moon night every month, which means that Hailing Island is safe at other times.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly again:

"Fellow Daoist is wrong. The lighthouse does indeed shine on a full moon night. But the problem is, every night here is a full moon night."

Is every night a full moon night?

This is another new news that Chen Ping heard.

Just when I was surprised, I heard Jiang Xuewei say:

"In addition, I have previously set up a secret trap in Taohuayuan. I will continue to investigate several suspicious villagers in Taohuayuan tonight. If I find nothing, I will continue to think of other methods tomorrow. In any case, even if I put all my money into it, I will not give up easily. Fellow Daoist If you don’t have the intention to cooperate, I can’t force it.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuewei's eyes were firm.

Chen Ping said nothing.

He looked up at the sky. At this time, the sunset was gone and night had fallen.

…The weather and time here are almost synchronized with Hailing Island.

...We have to take action tonight and find Jia Yile, otherwise the price of 230 years of life will be too high.

Too big to bear.

He really had no intention of cooperating.

But he was not worried about Shouyuan's problem at this time. When he realized that as long as he found Jia Yile, even if he was dead, he could learn the way to get out of the world, he felt extremely relaxed.

In his mind, he had quietly figured out a way to find Jia Yile.
