The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun walked to the river and carefully observed the silver river water, and found that the water was not as heavy as mercury, and was about the same weight as ordinary water. The silver color was not like the color of the water itself, but more like it had merged with the water under the action of external forces.

"There's something weird about this water." Hu secretly said.

Fang Yun and Dou Ji looked at each other and saw the same word in each other's eyes: nonsense.

Fang Yun looked at Dou Ji and asked, "Are you sure that this phenomenon must be caused by Fu Yue?"

"Confirmed. Apart from the two lions in the Comet Corridor and the watchdog in the seventh corridor, only the negative mountain in the fifth corridor is alive."

"Watchdog?" Fang Yun asked.

"A frost dog in the demon world was given immortality by the demon ancestor and guarded the throne of the stars. The frost dog cannot leave the seventh corridor. The two stone lions cannot cause trouble here, so it can only be negative Yue. But, he is so What are you doing for?" Dou Ji looked around the mountain passage.

Fang Yun found that Douji was very relaxed before, but after being sucked here, his attitude changed significantly and he became more serious and focused. Obviously he realized the crisis that was difficult to get rid of.

"Will Fuyue hurt us?" Fang Yun asked.

"He doesn't dare, otherwise the Stone Lion will take action to deal with him immediately. After all, we are nominally the people chosen by the Demon Ancestor, and we are likely to become the Demon Ancestor's disciples. However, he will not hurt us, but he may be like now, It hinders us and even traps us here," Douji said.

"This is half good news." Fang Yun said helplessly.

"But this means that we may be trapped here for a long time, waiting for other monsters to become kings of stars, or even be trapped here to death."

Hu secretly asked: "Is this part of the test of the fifth corridor?"

"This...I don't think so, because all the monsters who have walked out of the maze have never seen Negative Mountain, and no one has ever been sucked into the tunnel like us." Douji said.

Fang Yun said: "No. Since the Demon Ancestor suppressed Negi Yue in the fifth corridor, I'm afraid he has already considered its factors. Turning a simple maze into a dangerous maze may be the Demon Ancestor's intention. Do you really Do you think this fifth corridor is just a test for us to pass the maze? "

Dou Ji was speechless and said: "You are right. I only judged according to common sense and ignored the attitude of the Demon Ancestor. Since he put Fu Yue here, I'm afraid he really counted Fu Yue as the fifth eldest son. Part of the Corridor Test.”

"You just said that the demon barbarians who left the Comet Corridor almost didn't mention Yue Yue, which means that there is another possibility." Fang Yun said.

Dou Ji and Hu An immediately understood the meaning of Fang Yun's words.

"Will we die here because of this? I pride myself on being no weaker than Negi Yue of the same demon level, but his strength is infinitely close to that of a Half-Saint. The gap is too big. If he wants to trap us, we will definitely die here." Dou. Extremely frowning.

"There is no end to the road. Since we are trapped here, it is better to be apart than to be together. I wonder if you two are willing to temporarily put aside the grudges between the two races and work together?"

"Of course!" Dou Ji and Hu An said in unison.

Fang Yun said: "In this case, please don't hide the information about Fu Yue. The more we know about him, the greater the possibility of our escape. For example, what does Fu Yue look like? What are the characteristics of Fu Yue at the level of the Great Demon King? How old are you and what powers are you good at using?”

Hu An immediately said: "Ningyue has the power to control the earth. It looks like a tortoise, but the turtle shell is different from ordinary turtle shells. There are bone peaks on it. Every thousand years, there are more bone peaks on the tortoise shell of Negating Yue. The power of the mountain has also been further improved. In addition, Negative Mountain is also known as the Dragon of the Earth. There are many in our demon world. There are many legends about Fuyue. For example, Fuyue's way of revenge is to carry a mountain on his back and smash the enemy's house. There is no conclusion on how big Fuyue's body is. Some say that Fuyue can carry the demon world on his back, and some say that Fuyue can't do it. One hundred feet long, there are even demons who think that carrying mountains and stars on his back is just a legend.”

"What's your temperament like?" Fang Yun asked.

"The ancient demons are all smart people, but... you know." Dou Ji only said half of his words.

Fang Yun understood in his heart that no matter how smart and rational the demons and barbarians were, once they became angry, even the semi-saints would lose their minds. This was the flaw of the demon and barbarians. Without this flaw, there would have been no place for the human and dragon tribes to gain a foothold.

Hu secretly said: "Since none of the monsters who left the Comet Corridor alive have seen Negative Mountain, and those who have seen Negative Mountain are probably dead, then we must first stay away from Negative Mountain. There is wind blowing from the upper reaches of the river, The smell is similar to the maze, we should go up the river."

Fang Yun said nothing and looked down the river.

"Do you have a different opinion?" Douji asked.

"Different? Oh, maybe it's the difference between us humans and you monsters. When you encounter unknown threats, you either fight or flee, while our humans are more inclined to find the best solution after careful consideration. Only when we can't find When a better way comes, choose fight or flight.”

"Aren't you afraid of betraying Yue?"

"Who is not afraid of the Great Demon King? The problem is that you said that he did not dare to kill us, and it was his power that sucked us in. This shows that he has some unknown demands. Of course, things must be considered from different angles , he may also be venting his anger on us because he has been imprisoned for many years.”

"Then what are you going to do?" Douji said.

Fang Yun said: "Since I have decided to temporarily abandon the grudges between the two clans, according to convention, the minority naturally obeys the majority. Hu An chooses to go upstream. I am considering it. What about you?"

Dou Ji did not reply immediately. He looked in both directions of the passage, then at Fang Yun and the Tiger Demon Saint Son, and finally said: "I agree with Hu An."

Hu An grinned, feeling very honored and getting a little closer to Dou Ji, and then looked at Fang Yun proudly.

Fang Yun's eyes showed subtle changes, and then he said: "Then let's go upstream."

"Walk!"

One person and two demons immediately walked forward quickly. One dragon and one tiger were extremely fast even if they were just trotting. Fang Yun had to run with all his strength to keep up.

After turning a corner, a bright hole appears in front of you.

"How's it going? Did I make the right choice?" The tiger demon laughed and ran out. After taking a few steps out of the cave, he suddenly stopped and kept turning his head to look around.

Fang Yun and Dou Ji then ran out of the cave, looked around, and found that this was actually a closed valley. Like other places in the maze, there were no weeds at all, except that there was a cold spring in the valley, which kept emitting silvery water. Water, the source of the silvery river, and nothing else.

Fang Yun asked: "Can you climb this mountain wall?"

Douji said: "No, this mountain wall belongs to the fifth corridor and cannot be climbed up." As he said that, he walked quickly towards Hanquan.

Fang Yun followed and observed the spring water carefully.

Spring water is constantly gushing in the spring, and there are lines like dried blood vessels near this cold spring.

Fang Yun recognized this thing, it was called 'blood pattern', it was a kind of power refined from the blood of the demon clan, and at least the demon king could use it. The blood pattern is not a particularly powerful force. It has some simple functions, such as absorbing star power, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, etc. It is not very versatile.

Hu secretly said: "This blood pattern is very old, and the energy and blood in it has completely dissipated but is still functioning. I'm afraid it was painted by the Demon Ancestor himself. The effect of this blood pattern is biased toward suppression. It should be the blood of the Demon Ancestor suppressing Negi Yue." Pattern."

"You guessed it right. Since it was the blood pattern drawn by the Demon Ancestor himself, it's better for us to stay away from it," Douji said.

Without Douji's explanation, Fang Yun was the first to turn around and go back, staying away from the cold spring. No matter whether the Demon Ancestor was dead or alive, the power he left behind was definitely not something that anyone could spy on. If any self-protection power was triggered, he would definitely die.

"Oh, I didn't expect it wasn't the exit. Let's go back quickly!" Hu secretly said.

So, one person and two monsters ran towards the downstream direction of the river. Fang Yun still ran the slowest this time, observing the passage while running, hoping to find something.

After running for a while, Fang Yun found nothing. If I have to say a new discovery, it is that the stone walls in this passage are very strong, but it is useless for escaping from here.

"There seems to be a hall in front, where the silver river water gathers to form a pool." The tiger demon saint son who was running at the front suddenly said.

The footsteps immediately became noisier.

Fang Yun looked at Dou Ji and Hu An who were getting farther and farther away from him. He didn't rush to run, but still maintained the same speed as before.

Approaching the hall, Hu An's speed remained unchanged, but Jiaolong Dou Ji began to slow down.

"Oh, after all this time, the demon clan is still as stupid as ever!"

A loud bell-like sound came from all directions, and the entire passage was shaking. It was like a landslide, and the dust and gravel at the top of the passage continued to fall downwards.

Fang Yun felt a chill that would extinguish all life, and then he saw that the passage ahead was freezing at an extremely fast speed, but in the blink of an eye it spread to the front, and the entire passage was covered by a thick layer of ice.

At the moment of being frozen, Fang Yun saw the tiger demon saint Zi Huan's head explode with a bang like a watermelon that fell to the ground.

Then his vision went dark, Fang Yun sighed secretly in his heart, and lost consciousness with endless despair.

I don't know how long it took, but Fang Yun suddenly felt cold.

"hiss……"

Fang Yun subconsciously shrank his body and opened his eyes. In front of him was a world made entirely of ice. It was crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful. However, Fang Yun sensed a huge crisis from this beauty.

Fang Yun found himself lying on the ice and hurriedly got up.

In front of him was a huge icicle, with a diameter of more than twenty feet. Underneath the icicle was a ring-shaped pool. The silver river water soaked the icicle, but the river water was not frozen.

Fang Yun continued to look around. The icicles and pool were located in the center of a wide ice hall. There was an outward passage in each of the eight directions of the ice hall. Frozen corpses appeared in many of the passages. Tiger Demon Saint Zi Huan's body was also among them.

The Dragon Dipper is wrapped in a thick block of ice, and its life and death are unknown.

Just as an idea came to Fang Yun's mind, the voice sounded again, much quieter than before.

"When I come here, I can kill whoever I want. These two stupid lions can't care about me!"

"Nie Yue?" Fang Yun asked subconsciously.

"From the moment you entered the maze, I saw and heard every move you made. Your name is Fang Yun, right? I'm curious why the names of the first people mentioned after the humans in the maze were separated and reunited. It was you. They said you helped them cross the Floating Ice River, the Avalanche Slope and the Falling Star Bridge. Is this true? "

"It turns out to be Senior Fuyue. Student Fang Yun has met the senior." Fang greeted politely using demon language.
