Limitless Interpretations

Even if one is not careful, when exploring the secret realm, the secret realm suddenly breaks free and floats into the void. At that time, everyone inside will die, unless there is a strong person who can cross the void.

When the young man heard this, he shook his head: "It's not a secret place, it's in a valley."

"Price." Yan Wan asked the key points.

"Each person, sixty black stones."

The young man had an attitude of asking for help. Knowing that the price was indeed not high, he directly added another condition: "If it is a treasure of heaven and earth, an improvement in cultivation, or a magic weapon, it can be auctioned off. At that time, the black stone obtained can be divided into 30% between the two of you."

To be fair, this condition can be said to be extremely generous. Maybe those in the Golden Core stage will look down upon it, but for a monk at Qi Xiaoyun's level now, it can definitely be called a windfall.

But Yan Wan's goal lies in strength.

That's right.

Although the synopsis of the script does not clearly mention it, there is indeed a plot.

Based on the time point and the destination, these scattered clues were compared one by one. Yan Wan was 70% sure that this strange place was the same as the plot in the script.

It's a pity that according to the original plot, the journey of love and death between him and Liu Xiu started here. Now due to the previous war, Liu Xiu's grandson will definitely not show up before he unlocks his strength.

"All right."

After pondering for a moment, Yan Wan and Qi Xiaoyun looked at each other and nodded slightly to express their acceptance.

The young man was overjoyed and quickly stood up and walked out: "Then I'll leave it to you two. I'll modify the task right away."

Tasks have to go through a process. The Demonic Palace is responsible for monitoring and inspection. If there are any fishermen who deliberately cheat their own disciples, they will be wiped out immediately.

——

A few days later.

The three people who were ready for everything finally embarked on the journey.

During this period, I also learned the guy’s real name, Xiao Sheng.

Yan Wan always felt that this name was similar to the names of those domineering CEOs in romantic dramas. They were both a bit unconventional, and there was a sense of shadiness about them as soon as they heard it.

Qi Xiaoyun looked at the towering mountains in the distance, pointed to a few footprints on the ground that had not yet disappeared, and asked, "You came here and then retreated last time?"

"Yes, I have this."

Xiao Sheng nodded solemnly and took out a compass from the storage bag: "I accidentally learned the art of fortune telling. Although it is a fragment, it is obscure and difficult to understand. Until now, I have only scratched the surface, but it is enough to deal with some things. .”

"What did you find in your divination?" Yan Wan glanced curiously.

Monks are not ordinary people. Their perceptions are extremely sharp. If there is no big deal, they rarely have a whim. Once they feel this way, something terrible will definitely happen.

Xiao Sheng must have sensed an ominous premonition, so he made some calculations, got bad results, and immediately retreated cautiously.

As for adventure, seeking death...

To be honest, monks rarely do such stupid things when they have a choice.

"I'll make another divination."

Xiao Sheng pursed his lips, sat down on the spot, took out many things, and fiddled with them with concentration.

Suddenly, he made a move, his face became extremely pale, and the hexagram he expected to get was not a good result.

"What do you mean?" Qi Xiaoyun asked curiously.

"Tianpan, Sixth B." Xiao Sheng said word by word: "This is the escape of the blue dragon, which is a fierce character, and everything is unfavorable. Parallel to this hexagram, there are also snakes, red birds, and red birds throwing themselves into the river. The white tiger is rampant."

After saying so much in one breath, he put away his things and sighed softly: "Last time, the divination result was Dingqi in the territory, which is the divination of the rampant white tiger. This time it is also very bad..."

"Interesting, I thought of a story. Do you want to hear it?" Yan Huan looked at the strange mountain in the distance with a strange look in his eyes.

Xiao Sheng nodded: "Oh? Let's talk about it."

Yan Wang looked around, then simply found a place to sit down, organized some conversation, and said softly: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain. Because it looked like a gourd, it was named Calabash Mountain.

This is actually the place where the great demon is sealed. Thousands of years have passed, and some people have gradually forgotten this matter. Until the seal weakened, a pangolin accidentally destroyed the formation's eye, causing the formation to fall apart.

There is no doubt that the demons and monsters escaped and caused harm to the countryside and the people. Later, the pangolin found an old man and told him that only by planting seven-color gourds could the demon be eliminated.

The old man succeeded, but was noticed by the demon using a magic weapon. The demon quickly sent his men to stop it, but found that it was impossible to destroy the gourd, so he changed his mind and captured the old man and the pangolin.

After that, the seven gourds exploded one after another and turned into guys with magical powers. They went to rescue the old man and the pangolin and eliminate the monsters and monsters.

It's a pity that they went to die one by one, and were eventually caught by the demon, who was going to refine them into elixirs. At the critical moment, the old man threw another treasure into the alchemy furnace.

The seven guys who received this help each showed their magical powers, worked together to break through the alchemy furnace, defeated the demon, turned into a colorful sacred mountain, and suppressed the demon. "

At this point, Yan Wang smiled lightly, stopped talking, and turned his head to look at the mountain: "Don't you think the shape of this mountain is also very similar to a gourd?"

Xiao Sheng sighed: "It's just a story. If it were true, it would be easier to handle."

Yes, if it is true as Yan Wang said, it would be really easy to handle. After all, just pulling someone out like these is not an ordinary person.

Yan smiled and said: "Let's go. As the saying goes, it is better to have no books than to believe in books. The hexagrams are just hexagrams."

"That's right." Xiao Sheng looked at the cat sleeping on Yan Wan's shoulder and felt a little surprised.

…

The three of them followed the mountain road and gradually approached this place. During this period, not to mention the wolves, tigers and leopards, there was no sound of insects or birds. If it were not for the lush vegetation, they would probably all suspect that this was a place of death.

"Look here." Qi Xiaoyun came to the tree trunk curiously, stretched out his hand and pulled the rag head on it.

"What's weird? This is alive, it should be a spirit."

Yan Huan glanced twice and spat directly. Like an arrow from a string with crystal saliva, it instantly pierced the trunk of the tree and flew into the distance unabated.

Roar!

It seemed that his insulting behavior had completely angered the tree, but its branches were swaying, and the flying leaves were like flying knives falling towards Yan Wan and the others.

A ferocious mouth gradually appeared on the surface of the tree trunk, and a pungent stench assaulted the face. Bone fragments, cloth strips and other fragments remaining in the mouth could even be vaguely seen.

"It's up to you." Yan Wan glanced at Xiao Sheng.

"The order of pardon, the wheel of five elements, the spirit of Yimu!"

Then he saw Xiao Sheng pull out a wooden sword, and a gloomy and spiritual aura hit his face. Vigorous green light burst out from the sword. As Xiao Sheng put the sword into the ground, the vitality of the surrounding world suddenly began to riot.

"Roar..." The tree spirit suddenly let out a shrill roar, and the branches struck down on their faces like whips, as if trying to stop Xiao Sheng's actions.

Also rioting were the seemingly normal trees around them. They were all monsters. They ate up all the animals here, even the insects and birds.

Now faced with Xiao Sheng's desperate methods, they finally panicked, rose up to resist, and attacked Yan Wan and the others crazily.

However, four other sharp swords suddenly appeared behind Xiao Sheng, emitting different lights, and under his control, they quickly strangled the branches thrown at them.

In just a few minutes, the wooden sword in Xiao Sheng's hand was like a glutton, wiping out all the essence of vegetation within a few hundred meters without leaving a trace.

The roar gradually subsided, and the tree turned into a cracked dead wood with the naked eye, as if it had been exposed to the sun, without any moisture. The crisis that seemed huge just now was completely wiped out.

Yan Wang patted the cracked tree trunk, broke off a section and rubbed it in his hands: "Do you feel that there is any sign of man-made activity in this place?"

Xiao Sheng, who is a Qi cultivator, agreed with this and nodded with deep understanding: "With this possibility, it is difficult for plants and animals to reach the sky.

But here, more than a hundred people have been born. I have seen it before. This is definitely not a geomantic treasure. Apart from man-made factors, other possibilities are very small. "

"This is interesting."

Yan Wan continued to walk forward and said as he walked: "Do you still remember the story I told before? On the surface, it is a simple good guy defeating the bad guy. What if you change the angle?"

Qi Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows and said: "What if the so-called monsters and monsters were the unlucky ones who happened to be involved? Or maybe they were raised and they just wanted to escape.

And if it was someone else who caused that mountain, that formation, the disaster, or even everything else, it would be easier to connect many things if it was not the work of monsters and monsters but someone else. "

After walking through the jungle, it suddenly became clear.

Qi Xiaoyun looked at the scene in surprise and couldn't help but be surprised: "Village? Are there still living people here?"

"Meow~~"

Dabai, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up at this moment, staring straight ahead, arching his back, making a purring sound, and his alertness was palpable.

Yan Wang glanced at it, his eyelids drooped, and when he opened his yin and yang eyes again, what he saw was filled with resentful souls that lingered for a long time.

"This place is ominous!" Xiao Sheng also sensed something and said in a deep voice.

Boom...

The sword light burst out, penetrating the sky and the earth like a beam of rainbow light, sweeping across the entire village in an instant.

Wherever they passed, houses collapsed, walls crumbled, thatch flew, and bricks and tiles were scattered.

"Look, isn't it strange that these people died?" Yan Huan pointed to a corpse exposed due to the destruction of the house.

"Formation."

Xiao Sheng smacked his lips and scanned the layout of the village houses in surprise, then his eyes fell on the corpses: "These people were used as nourishment for the formation and turned into earth-bound spirits."

"That's right." Yan Wan waved his hand and walked into the village: "There is something in the middle, which seems to be an altar. Could it be that they are doing some kind of sacrificial activity?"

Xiao Sheng, who followed, looked at it carefully and said, "This is the ancestor worship method of the barbarians. The symbols on it are not formation patterns, but words."

"However, I always feel that it has other uses..."

Before Yan Wan finished speaking, he threw out a sword energy and cut the altar open, revealing a coffin made of black wood inside.
