Mirroring the changes

As soon as Lei Yin Buddha left, Cao Chengmu's heart sank slightly.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Ji Xu was so strong that he did not dare to say anything.

Now that Ji Xu is gone, he doesn't dare to neglect anything.

With a smile on his face, he greeted the monks and then walked up to Li Chen and said in a deep voice: "Master~ Master, I need to put more thought into this."

After speaking, he pretended to be concerned and turned to the many Moon Shadow Guards and said, "The safety of the mage is the top priority."

"No one can slack off, understand?"

"yes!"

After saying this, he said goodbye to the monks and left.

Li Chen looked at his back and thought secretly: This City Lord Cao is much more difficult to deal with than Ji Xu.

The person they fear most if they want to leave here is not Lei Yinfuzi, but the Moon Shadow Guards under City Lord Cao.

Therefore, if they want to escape smoothly, delaying time is only temporary. They still need to find a way to truly unlock the 'dark curse'.

"The feeling of a dark curse?"

Monk Ye Hui was suddenly asked by Li Chen and couldn't help but fall into memories.

"Well, how should I say it?"

"It seems like someone has cast a restraining spell on my whole body. I can't move at all. Only my eyes and mind are not affected."

"If the young monk hadn't been born with a 'celestial eye' and could see through it with his gaze, he would have been caught by them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Xinguang nodded: "Everyone in the entire Xunhuang knows about the 'Dark Curse' of Yueying City."

"It is said that this place was originally a small world created by ancient immortals. Could the 'dark curse' be the rule of the small world?"

The practice of a monk is the process of opening up a small world and formulating rules.

If this Moon Shadow City is really a small world, then the 'Dark Curse' would make sense as the rule of the small world.

The small world after the immortal ascends will finally appear in the original world and turn into a secret realm.

Moon Shadow City is hidden underground and is indeed very similar to a secret realm.

But it is a dungeon that is completely integrated with the original world.

Compared to a secret realm, Moon Shadow City is more like an excavated space.

But why does the ‘dark curse’ only work in Moon Shadow City?

Li Chen's eyebrows tightened, and he didn't know why he suddenly thought of 'Moonlight Moss'.

If there are any differences between Moon Shadow City and the outside world, the first thing to mention is ‘Moonlight Moss’.

Moon Shadow City is located deep underground and relies entirely on moon moss to provide light.

So is there any connection between 'Dark Curse' and 'Moonlight Moss'?

Li Chen's eyes narrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Because Moonlight Moss can only be found in Moon Shadow City, and the 'Dark Curse' can only be cast in Moon Shadow City.

Once you leave Moon Shadow City, both of these things will become ineffective.

When Li Chen said this about his guess, the monks immediately agreed.

However, Monk Xinguang sighed: "Actually, the doubts about 'Moonlight Moss' and 'Dark Curse' were raised by Taoist Master Weichen before."

"Priest Weichen?"

Li Chen was slightly startled.

Taoist Priest Weichen was the Taoist temple leader they had settled in Yueying City before.

"However, 'Moonlight Moss' is everywhere in Moon Shadow City. Even if we know that the two are related, there is nothing we can do."

Li Chen nodded.

Anyway, we can't burn all the moon moss in one go.

Thinking of this, Li Chen asked again: "Master Xinguang, has no one been able to break the 'dark curse' for so many years?"

Monk Xinguang nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly: "In the past five hundred years, I haven't heard of anyone breaking the 'hidden curse'."

"There is a travel diary recorded in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Danlanda Temple, called "Seng Wen Yue Xia Shuo"."

"There is a legend mentioned in it, which is said to be closely related to the Sesshou Temple."

When Li Chen heard this, he immediately became interested: "Is it related to the Shasheng Temple?"

Monk Xinguang nodded: ""Monk Wen Yuexia Shuo" records the insights of Monk Fayin, an ancestor of Landuo Temple, who traveled all over the world."

“It is similar to Master Tripitaka’s Journey to the West.”

"It is mentioned in the book that Samsara Kong once successfully broke the 'Dark Curse' of Moon Shadow City."

"Reincarnated Sora?"

Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other and said in unison: "Master Fu Kong?!"

Before he founded the Sasho Temple, Monk Fu Kong was the disciple of Samsara Buddha in the Samsara Temple.

At that time, his dharma name was still called "Liao Kong".

Li Chen's eyes turned sharply, and his thoughts were instantly drawn to Fu Kong Mountain of Shasheng Temple.

At that time, when he was using "Flowing Water Does Not Rot" to roll up the Fu Kong Waterfall, he had seen the handwriting left by the Fu Kong Patriarch.

He once said that he had traveled all over the world.

He has reached the state of ascension long ago, but after ascension, he is not the 'great liberation' and 'great freedom' that he pursues.

That's why he forcibly suppressed his cultivation and realized the supreme realm he sought.

It seems that he came to Moon Shadow City at that time.

Li Chen muttered secretly: "Yueying City, Yueying City..."

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and a skill came into his mind - "Inviting Shadows in the Moon and Sky"!

"Inviting the Shadow in the Moon" I learned it when Li Chen and Li Shen were fighting.

At that time, Brother Liqi once said that "Inviting the Moon to the Shadow" was created by Master Fu Kong, and it contained the Great Way of Space.

It can turn into a shadow in an instant and travel through space.

Therefore, "Inviting Shadows in the Moon Sky" is also called the 'Shadow Escape' in addition to the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Nayue Cinema, "Inviting Moon Shadow"...

Is there any connection between the two?

Thinking about it now, no wonder I felt a sense of déjà vu as soon as I entered Moon Shadow City.

Could it be that Master Bukong created "Inviting the Moon to the Empty Shadow" in Yueying City? !

Li Chen was excited, but his face remained calm.

Because the Shadow Guards were closely guarding, the monks could only rest on their own.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that Ji Xu returned to Huanhua Tower with a tired face.

He immediately invited all of Li Chen and his men to come over.

As soon as Li Chen went up to the sixth floor, he saw the Prison Ox Cauldron placed in the center.

Ji Xu next to him was full of joy.

As soon as he saw Li Chen, Ji Xu couldn't help but greet him with a smile: "Hahaha, Master Li Chen~"

"You are finally here!"

Li Chen saw that he was so proud and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But he heard Ji Xu say loudly: "I played "Pingsha Luoyan" in the yellow sand of the desert, and played "Guangling San" on the top of the mountain at dusk."

"The sun and the moon rotate, and the vast earth really resonates with the cauldron, and it makes me feel refreshed!"

Hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.

This Prison Ox Cauldron is one of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons.

It has the effect of suppressing luck.

As long as you get close to the big cauldron, no matter what you are doing, your luck and practice will definitely be smooth.

As for Ji Xu's refreshing feeling, it is probably because he is naturally fond of music.

It's just that he has suppressed his heart for many years and suddenly released it at this time, so he feels extremely relaxed.

At this point, Ji Xu suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Chen: "Although this king has felt the changes in the Prison Ox Cauldron."

"But... it still hasn't awakened the spirit of the instrument."

Li Chen heard this and deliberately snorted: "The spirit of the instrument has been sleeping for thousands of years, and you just play two songs and want to wake it up?"

"Donor, you are a little wishful thinking."
