The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

The bridge is not a real bridge, but a stream of light flying through the darkness, which looks like a bridge.

As I got closer, I could no longer see the bridge. There was only an oval shadow floating in the air, with blue light emitting from the edges, like the gate of hell standing in the void.

Li Muchen and Xiang Wanqing walked in without hesitation.

As soon as you enter, the essence of the world disappears immediately, leaving only darkness all around and flickering lights floating in the darkness, as if traveling through the Milky Way.

A strange force was pushing them forward.

After an unknown amount of time, the light suddenly disappeared and they arrived on solid ground.

The world in front of me suddenly changed. The previous oppressive darkness, creepy and ugly environment disappeared, and was replaced by a fairyland full of flowers.

There is no sunshine here, but gentle dots of light are suspended in the sky, like countless fireflies dancing. Flowers are blooming everywhere, and the colorful petals are swaying gently in the breeze, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

The clear stream meanders through the sea of ​​flowers, reflecting the surrounding beauty in the stream, like a natural painting. Various exotic plants grow in an orderly manner, and some flowers even emit a faint light, adding a layer of mystery to this land.

"It's so beautiful! I didn't expect the scenery behind Naihe Bridge to be like this!"

Xiang Wanqing looked around in amazement, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She recalled her childhood dreams. Wasn't this the scene in her dreams?

"It could also be an advertisement for hell, just like the sand table and model houses in a sales office." Li Muchen said this very inappropriately, breaking Xiang Wanqing's beautiful thoughts.

Xiang Wanqing glared at him: "Don't ruin the good feeling!"

Suddenly he laughed again, "Even if it's an advertisement, I like it. Look there -"

She pointed forward.

There is a flower there, which is different from all the flowers around it. Its petals are blood red, as if it is the blood spilling from the depths of hell, or like the last afterglow of the setting sun. It is gorgeous and sad, emitting a mysterious and quiet light, as if telling an endless story. Even in a sea of ​​flowers, it stands out so much.

"Is this the Bianhua flower?" Xiang Wanqing said, "I've seen it in Tiandu's "Hundred Flowers Book"!"

The rich floral fragrance comes with a hint of sadness, like the low hum of a guqin, which makes people's heart tremble. It seems that this fragrance can awaken the sleeping soul and cross the boundary between life and death. The petals look light as feathers, but they seem heavy as lead. Each piece is a fragment of past memories, carrying the unfinished love and regrets of life.

Li Muchen has also read "Hundred Flowers", but because he has no interest in flowers, he has no impression of it.

"Is it the legendary flower on the other side of the Forgotten River?" he asked.

"Yes!" Xiang Wanqing said excitedly, "It is said that the red spider lily can lead people to the Three Lives Stone, allowing them to see the past, present and afterlife."

Li Muchen frowned.

If the afterlife is visible, then what is the point of working hard?

If the afterlife is visible and everything is predetermined, then who is in control of destiny?

If the Sansei Stone is real, then who erected it?

However, Li Muchen really wanted to see, if there really was a Three Lives Stone, what his past life and future life would look like.

Xiang Wanqing walked towards the flower on the other side, reaching out to touch it, but she saw the flower suddenly floated up, as if blown by a breeze, the flowers danced lightly in the air, carrying a magical rainbow light.

"Come on, it's guiding us!"

Xiang Wanqing chased after her.

Li Muchen followed closely behind.

The path that the red spider lilies travel is tortuous, as if there is a certain pattern.

The flower path was lined with all kinds of exotic flowers, some emitting faint light, and some emitting pleasant bell sounds. Every step seemed to be a step on a beautiful movement. The two walked deeper and deeper, as if they had walked into a never-ending dream.

They continued to follow the red spider lilies, walking along the flower path, passing through the sea of ​​flowers and crossing streams. The sound of the stream was clear and pleasant, as if whispering, telling the secrets of this world.

Li Muchen grabbed the running Xiang Wanqing and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Wanqing asked in confusion, but her eyes were fixed on the flower of the other shore that was drifting away in front of her.

"This is a magic circle!" said Li Muchen.

"Magic circle?!" Xiang Wanqing was surprised. After all, he was a disciple of Tiandu. He quickly realized, "No wonder the route is so strange. It seems that this sea of ​​flowers is just our illusion!"

Li Muchen nodded and said, "Yes, if you continue to follow the song Bian Hua Hua, you will die here."

"But it is recorded in the book that the flower of the other shore is the flower that guides people to cross the underworld and go to the other shore!" Xiang Wanqing said.

"There are no living people on the road to the underworld. The other shore flower guides the souls of the dead, not the living. It should be the vitality in our bodies that activates the magic circle, and the other shore flower is a flower in the world of yin and yang. It leads yin to yang and yang to yin. It goes in the opposite direction. We are living beings, and it will lead us to death.”

Xiang Wanqing frowned: "Then how to break the formation?"

Li Muchen said: "This formation between the Yin and Yang worlds may be formed naturally, or it may be set up by ancient saints. It is not easy to break it."

"Oh, it would be great if Senior Sister Shixi was here. She is the most proficient in formations. There must be records about this formation in the ancient books of Tiandu." Xiang Wanqing sighed.

Li Muchen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid even Senior Sister Shixi can't break this formation, because it's a death formation."

"Death formation?"

"Yes, a death formation! In general, a formation has eight gates, with both life and death. In addition to not killing all enemies and leaving a glimmer of hope, it also prevents you from being trapped in the formation when you are trapped by the enemy. But in some formations, you don't want to give the enemy a glimmer of hope, and you don't worry about being trapped, so naturally you don't need to set up a life gate and leave any loopholes. This kind of formation is a death formation. A death formation means there is no way to break it."

"What should we do?" Xiang Wanqing asked worriedly.

Li Muchen suddenly smiled and said, "You don't have to follow the principles of Qimen to break the formation, just like you don't have to play according to the rules to break it, you can also overturn the table."

Only then did Xiang Wanqing realize: "You mean, break the formation with force?"

Li Muchen nodded and said: "That's right. One force can defeat ten enemies. It can break the formation with strength and destroy everything. No matter how clever the formation is, it's useless."

"But, to break the formation with force means that human strength must be stronger than the formation, this..."

Xiang Wanqing glanced at Li Muchen and didn't finish her words because she was a little unsure about the strength of this junior brother.

Generally speaking, the formation must be stronger than human power by relying on the natural power of heaven and earth, otherwise Qimen Dunjia will become a joke.

Of course, different magic arrays have different energies, and different individuals have different strengths.

For example, Xiang Wanqing could destroy any ordinary small magic circle in the world with just one sword using the Seven Star Sword in his hand, without having to break the circle at all.

However, she was powerless to do anything about the mountain protection formations of some major Xuanmen sects.

The most powerful array is the Ten Thousand Immortal Sword Array in Tiandu. It was created by 100,000 sword immortals. The sword energy is so powerful that even the demons from outside the domain dare not approach. It is this array that protects the peace of this world.

But can the magic circle in front of them be broken by just her and her junior brother?

Li Muchen saw Xiang Wanqing's doubts and said with a smile: "Senior Sister, have you forgotten that Second Senior Brother also took this path?"
