Cultivation starts with time management

"Is this our destination?" Jiang Li asked curiously, looking at the steep mountain ahead.

"It should be." Wei Dongliu then explained to everyone, "According to Lord Qilin, this mountain is called Ailao Mountain."

"Ailao Mountain was once the core hinterland of the ancient monster clan. The so-called 'Ailao' is the ancient southwest human dialect, which means 'center', and the monster clan called it 'the city of everything' and 'the capital of all monsters' .”

"The City of Ten Thousand Monsters?" Wen Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "If so, why is it so unknown that we have never heard of it?"

"From ancient times to ancient times, from ancient times to modern times, how many secrets have disappeared in the long river of history?" Wei Dongliu shook his head, "What's more, the [-] mountains in the southwest have changed owners several times, and the sect of cutting off religion and controlling beasts...every time they change. , countless classics are lost, and it is normal for us not to have heard of them.”

"It is said that there is a special magnetic field in Ailao Mountain. When ordinary monks enter this place, they are extremely easy to lose their way. If they don't distinguish between north, south and east, even the magic weapon for finding the way will fail."

As he said that, Wei Dongliu took out a small golden sword from his sleeve, which was given to him by Qilin before he left.

"This is the 'Meng Huan Sword', which can lead us through the maze to the Jinghu Shrine on the top of the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lie asked impatiently:

"The adventure that allows us to obtain 70 years of cultivation in the Huafu is in the Jinghu Shrine?"

"That's right." Wei Dongliu nodded.

Jiang Lifan didn't say a word at the side, but everyone's eyes were burning, even Long Xiaoqi, who was introverted, showed longing in his eyes.

Only old thief Wei's eyes were calm, without any eagerness, as if the 70 years of penance cultivation skills were nothing to him at all.

As everyone knows, this expression without any flaws is your biggest flaw!

Wei Dongliu didn't know that Witch Jiang went around, and analyzed the expression on his face into hundreds of words. He just confirmed with Kunlun Mirror in his heart:

"A mirror, are you sure?"

"Ninety-nine are inseparable." Kunlun Mirror sighed and said, "I have a feeling when I hear Jinghu Lake. At this time, I have reached the foot of the mountain, so I can probably confirm..."

"In the Jinghu Shrine, there should be a fragment of my body, and it seems to be suppressed by something, without any wisdom at all."

Chapter 45 Mirror Lake Shrine, Calculated by Each

People are walking in the forest.

This mountain has been untouched for a long time, and the original stone steps have been decayed and weathered, covered by countless vines and weeds.

Wei Dongliu held Meng Huanjian in the palm of his hand and led the people walking in the direction pointed by the tip of the sword, sometimes climbing upwards, sometimes sideways, sometimes even turning around and walking down.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you sure?" Long Xiaoqi said suddenly, "If I remember correctly, it seems that we have turned our backs now."

"Fellow Daoist Long." Wei Dongliu said gently, "The magnetic field here is disordered. You thought you were walking in a straight line, but you were actually going back and forth in circles."

"Instead of trusting my own sense of direction, how about trusting the sword in my hand?"

"Hmm." Long Xiaoqi stopped talking, as if he was just asking casually.

Everyone started going up the mountain at noon, and finally arrived at the lakeside on the top of the mountain until dusk.

I saw that on the top of the mountain, there was actually a huge lake.From a distance, it looks like a bright blue mirror, and the light can be learned; from a close view, the lake is so clear that even the gravel at the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen.

The lakeside is densely planted with a large number of trees, lush and straight.

However, there is no sign of any shrine.

Jiang Lifan gathered up the bottom of his robe, knelt down by the lake to check the water surface, and said:

"There are fish in the lake, there should be no problem."

"There are deer deer and apes in the forest opposite." Wen Yang told everyone that the Yin ghost that Wen Yang sent out to detect also came back.

Everyone was speechless.The surrounding ecological environment is so rich, it doesn't look like there are any relics!

Wei Dongliu glanced at the little golden sword, and saw that the tip of the sword was pointing directly towards the center of the lake.

"We have to go to the lake," he said.

"Cut wood to build a boat?" Jiang Lian asked.

"No, Yu Jian." Wei Dongliu said.

Jiang Lian looked hesitantly, and saw that there was no miasma on the lake... he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The five of them each pulled out their flying swords and went straight with their swords.

When he came to the center of the lake, he saw the little golden sword suddenly spinning around.

Crowd: ...

"Is it malfunctioning?" Gu Lie asked with twitching eyes.

"No." Wei Dongliu turned his palm sideways.

I saw that the little golden sword that was still spinning in circles immediately turned to the bottom as if moved by some kind of invisible hand, and stopped moving.

"At the bottom of the lake?" Wen Yang looked down, "There is nothing at the bottom of the lake."

Everyone followed and looked down, only to see that although the lake here is relatively deep, the water quality is too clear, and you can still see sand, gravel, aquatic plants, migrating fish at the bottom... how can there be any shadow of the palace?

"Use that little sword to open it." Long Xiaoqi who had been silent all this time said suddenly.

"Exactly." Wei Dongliu flicked the sword, only to see the little golden sword suddenly turned into a stream of light and sank into the lake.

Then, the entire lake changed color... To be precise, a palace appeared in the projection reflected on the lake.

Seeing this, Jiang Li's thoughts moved slightly, and he immediately released the devil from his sleeve and threw himself into the lake.

"Under the water, there is another world." She said quickly.

"Then let's go." Wei Dongliu suggested.

Everyone had no objection, so they followed Yujian down.

The moment I rushed into the lake, I saw the sky and the earth hanging upside down, and broke out of the lake again.

This place still seems to be the top of Ailao Mountain, but there are no mountains in the distance, but a gray mist.

There are no animals in the forest by the lake, only the rustling leaves, swaying in the breeze.

In the middle of the lake stands a huge palace, made of jade bricks and glazed tiles, against the sparkling lake water, it looks extremely magnificent under the sun.

Wei Dongliu looked at the palace, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind:

What a "Crystal Palace"!

Of course, the Crystal Palace here does not refer to the kind with a bunch of hatchet heroines inside... but a purely literal meaning.

Facing the Jinghu Shrine, everyone had different expressions.

Wen Yang and Gu Lie were very pleasantly surprised. Judging from the appearance of this palace, it is obviously some kind of unexplored ancient ruins, and the probability of having an adventure in Huafu has greatly increased.

Jiang Liyan and Long Xiaoqi were obsessed with their eyes. This magnificent yet delicate palace perfectly hit the aesthetics of these two female monks.

"Let's find an entrance first, and then go in." Wei Dongliu reminded.

Everyone flew around the palace with their swords, and saw a large number of step cornerstones dipping into the lake in the lower part of the palace.

The upper part is composed of pavilions, terraces and pavilions, which are row upon row, with a very clear hierarchical structure, and the style is also resplendent and resplendent, with all kinds of graceful and gorgeous things.

It's just that both the doors and windows are closed, and there is no entrance to enter.

"Would you like to try to punch in?" Gu Lie's eyes showed a dark look.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Gu go first." Wen Yang said with a smile, "If anything happens, I will collect the body for Fellow Daoist."

Gu Lie made a haha ​​and said:

"I just said it casually."

If it were an ordinary building, not to mention closing the doors and windows, even the blue brick walls would be nothing more than a monk's sword.

But in this secret realm, the doors and windows that are closed from the inside often cannot be forcibly broken open from the outside.Unless your rank is too much higher than the secret realm, violence crushes everything, but such a secret realm has no exploration value.

Everyone went around a few times without giving up, but still did not find the entrance.

All the doors and windows were tightly closed, and there was no room to open them at all.

"Friend Wei Daoist." Jiang Lian couldn't help asking, "Did Lord Qilin ever say, how to deal with this situation?"

"I didn't say it." Wei Dongliu shook his head, "It just said, let me go to the Jinghu Shrine, there is a 'Taiwei Palace', and there is 'Jiahe' and 'Red Grass' in the palace."

"Among them, Jiahe is shaped like rice, with twelve spikes on one plant. Vermilion grass is shaped like a small mulberry, with a stem like coral and a juice that flows like blood."

"Jiahe is useless to humans, so let me pick one and give it to it; as for vermilion grass, take it and put it in a bowl, throw it with gold and jade, and it will turn into 'golden pulp and jade liquid', and humans will drink it, and it will increase by 70 years at a time. Power, but don't drink it twice."

Everyone's mouth was dry, but they secretly calculated in their hearts.

From ancient times to the present, things have changed, people have changed, and Jinghu Shrine does not know how to change.

What if everyone finds the Taiwei Hall, where there is only Jiahe and no vermilion grass?

It's okay if you don't, it's a big deal.But if there are vermilion plants, but there are less than five plants, how will everyone divide them?Could it be guessing?

Demon monks, of course, have a solution unique to magic.

Now that Vermilion Grass has not been found, naturally there is no need to tear yourself apart. When they are found, another war will begin.

Flying around the shrine again for a few laps, I heard Long Xiaoqi suddenly say:

"Will the entrance be at the bottom of the lake?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was enlightened, and they suddenly understood.

For the human race, the entrance is built at the bottom of the lake, which is obviously inconvenient for daily access, but who knows what the ancient monster race thought?

So everyone rushed to the bottom of the lake with their swords again. This time there was no golden sword to open the way, but they did not return to the real world, but went straight to the water.

...that little golden sword is the key to the secret realm.

If the follow-up team fights among themselves, they must win the key, otherwise they will be trapped here to death...

Everyone made a note in their hearts, and saw the jade wall in the underwater area of ​​the shrine exposed among the aquatic plants and corals in front of them.

There is another huge opening in the middle, without a door, which is open to the outside, and you can see the ever-burning lamp embedded in the wall.

"The entrance is indeed at the bottom of the lake!" Jiang Lifan was overjoyed when he saw this, and looked around to see if anyone was willing to go first.

But Wen Yang, Gu Lie and others were also looking at each other... Everyone is an old devil, and no one is willing to go to the shrine first, and they are all waiting for the first person to go to test the water, and then fight for the second. person's position.

In this way, if there is any mechanism at the door, such as a trap specifically targeting the human race, you can get out of it in time.

"I'll go first." Wei Dongliu clapped his palms and said, before everyone could express anything, he rushed forward with his sword.

After rushing to the entrance, he stopped suddenly and shouted in his heart:

"A mirror, scan!"

Chapter 46 Interpretation of the Ten Phases, Changes of the Fox Demon

"A trap?"

"Have."

"How?"

"It's hard to say." Kunlun Mirror said in a deep voice, "But there are indeed several mechanisms hidden behind the entrance, which seem to have the function of detecting race."

"Testing for race?"

"The main thing is to beware of humans." Kunlun Mirror explained, "If the intruder is detected to be human, the engine will be shut down."

"So that's how it is." Wei Dongliu turned his head and said to everyone, "There seems to be an institutional restriction here, and if humans are detected, they will be activated."

"Are you sure?" Wen Yang asked with a frown.

"If you don't believe me, just try it." Wei Dongliu said calmly.

No one asked him how he was sure, because the secret method is a monk's secret and cannot be leaked.

So everyone gathered in front of the entrance and exchanged cautious glances with each other.

"If it's just to detect intruders, it's okay. I have ghosts on hand to test it." Wen Yang said solemnly, "But if we specialize in detecting humans, as Daoist Wei said, it probably won't work."

"There is no village near here." Gu Lie also frowned and said, "Otherwise, it would be safest to catch a living person and throw it in for testing."

Wei Dongliu was extremely calm beside him, and secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

Good guy, the opening is a test of catching a living person, as expected of a demonic way of thinking, I couldn't even think of it!

"My hands are also raised demons, not human beings, so I can't test them." Jiang Lian said lightly.
