Pawn Crossing the River

Looking at the entire Fenglinzhou, there are three prosperous places, namely the Gyeonggi Land centered on Xiugyeong, the Gyeonggi Land centered on Pingkyo and Ise. Soo Kyung and Ping Kyung are still fine, but Ise has been completely beaten. It will take at least ten years to recover as before.

As the core area of ​​​​Ise, Anon County's situation is slightly better. It is not like Taji County and Dohui County where there are no human habitations for hundreds of miles.

However, this is also the sphere of influence of the Zunbang Sect. In order to hide from others, Qi Xuansu chose to take the deserted mountain road. Annan County was less affected, which does not mean that there is no impact at all. The mountains and forests are still full of yin energy and resentment, and few people dare to enter the mountains and forests alone.

Qi Xuansu was considered to be an expert and bold, and with Xiao Yin following him, he thought that no ghost could threaten him. But after Qi Xuansu entered a barren mountain, he realized that something was wrong. The woods here were dense and the fog was thick in the forest. Qi Xuansu, a majestic celestial martial artist with strong energy and blood, unexpectedly encountered ghosts beating the wall. After walking several times in a row, he still couldn't Spin in circles.

This is somewhat unusual.

Generally, there are two ways to do this. Either use force to overcome skill, push all the way, carve mountains when encountering mountains, wade through rivers when encountering, and carve out a path life and time again. Either it's a matter of skill, the ghost wall can be considered a simple formation method adapted to local conditions, and it can also be cracked using the idea of ​​breaking the formation.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to make too much noise, so as not to cause complications, so he decided to use a trick.

Isn't it just breaking the formation? I also learned it when I was in the Wanxiang Dao Palace.

Qi Xuansu took out the compass given by Qi Niang and recited the mantra he learned when he was a child: "The shape of the mountain is on the earth and the stars are in the sky. Under the star energy, I feel the blessings and misfortune. The true star suddenly takes its true shape, and the branches and leaves are all broken and prosperous."

Just after reciting two sentences, Qi Xuansu realized that it was of no use, because the compass needle was spinning wildly, indicating that the Yin Qi had become so powerful that it reversed Yin and Yang in a small area.

Xiao Yin was quite satisfied and said: "It's not bad here. It feels similar to the outside of Dongtian. It's much more comfortable."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wanted to save some trouble, but ended up in bigger trouble. If he had known this, he might as well have gone to a densely populated place.

It's just that at this time, there is no way out or the way back, so there is only one way to go.

Qi Xuansu put away the compass and shouted loudly. The blood energy surged out, like a strong wind passing by. The trees shook endlessly. The blood energy was like a blazing flame. Wherever it passed, the Yin energy was directly burned out. Qi Xuansu kept punching and punching, breaking all the trees in sight.

The essence of the so-called ghost hitting the wall is still biased toward illusions, distorting cognition and making people think they are walking in a straight line, but in fact they are walking an arc and eventually returning to the original place in a big circle.

Generally speaking, illusions must rely on the environment to achieve maximum effect. Ghost Wall relies on a similar environment. The main reason why it is difficult for ordinary people to break through Ghost Wall is that they cannot break through the environment. Even if they have an axe, they cannot chop down a few trees in a day.

Qi Xuansu is not like that. Cutting down trees is like chopping vegetables. If you look at it from above, the entire dense forest is falling down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once the sealed environment is broken, the evil energy will leak out, and the so-called ghost wall will be broken.

Qi Xuansu took out the compass again and found that it had returned to normal. The disappeared mountain road appeared in front of him again, but it was dark and deep, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Xiao Yin led the way up the mountain, and Qi Xuansu had no choice but to follow.

The two continued to move forward and walked dozens of miles of mountain roads. At this time, Qi Xuansu could already faintly detect the faint yin energy permeating the wind, the ground under his feet, and even the trees and flowers, but he could never find the source of the yin energy, and the compass in his hand began to work intermittently. It didn't work, and the pointer often rotated crazily. Qi Xuan knew that he was in a place with strong Yin energy, so he became more vigilant and dignified.

After walking about a few miles further, a dense forest suddenly appeared. In this early spring, this forest was lush and lush. It was much more lush than ordinary forests in summer. The branches and leaves were dark green and almost black. They were a bit seeping and huge. The canopy of the trees blocked all light, and coupled with the faint mist that diffused in the forest, it actually made the forest dark, as if it were late at night, and there seemed to be ghosts shaking, making people feel fearful.

Yin Qi is the most yin thing. Plants and trees grow toward the sun. Except for a few ghost trees such as locust trees and willows, the two are incompatible. If Yin Qi can affect the vegetation and make it turn from Yang to Yin, then it means Yin. The energy is extremely strong and has begun to transform from yin to yang, and most of it will give birth to something extremely ferocious. .

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and then raindrops fell. After a while, more and more raindrops came, and the rain was continuous. Although it was not heavy, it made the gloomy and cold air in the mountains much heavier.

This rain is quite strange. Among the five elements, earth is the middle, wood and fire are yang, water and metal are yin. Now when it rains, it naturally helps to increase the yin energy.

Seeing Qi Xuansu stop moving forward, Xiao Yin tugged on his sleeve: "You have even been to the cave, are you afraid of encountering ghosts when walking at night?"

Qi Xuansu thought for a while, after all, Ise is a prosperous place, and it is also the territory of Ise Shrine. How can there be reason for the great demon ghost king and his like to be entrenched under the nose of Ise Shrine? Unless they are raised by Ise Jingu family.

So the two of them moved on.

Entering the forest, because of the dense canopy of trees, you couldn't feel the rain falling, but what came face to face was the miasma caused by the decay of fallen leaves. Qi Xuansu just punched and heard a muffled "bang" sound, as if he was pulling out a wine gourd. With the sound of the cork, the surrounding miasma dispersed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wu Fu's method is crude, simple and very easy to use.

However, this forest road is a dead end, that is, a dead end, with only a half-covered dilapidated stone monument at the end. The stele is quite old. Half of its body is buried underground. There are many thin red threads on the surrounding trees, criss-crossing like spider webs. Bells and talismans are hung on the red threads. The stele itself is also covered with talismans, densely packed, as if for The stone tablet is covered with a paper coat.

This looks like some kind of seal.

Of course Qi Xuansu would not be so full that he would take a look at the talisman and release a peerless monster. His first reaction was to leave, leave immediately, leave immediately, and never look back.

Even if there was a peerless demon, it would not be too late to deal with it after Daomen captured Ise and set up a battle array to subdue the demon. He would not try to be a hero.

However, when Qi Xuansu reached out to pull Xiao Yin, he found that the little girl was standing motionless. With his martial arts strength, he was unable to pull the little girl.

"What's wrong?" Qi Xuansu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Xiao Yin looked at the stone tablet steadily without blinking: "There are good things there."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Good... stuff? What good stuff?"

Xiao Yin licked her lips: "It's delicious."

Qi Xuansu felt a chill on his back.

This girl just looks cute, but in essence she is a peerless femininity, the kind that is strictly restricted by the Taoist sect. According to Feng Linzhou, he should be at the Ghost King level. Even if he is not now, he will definitely be in the future. He actually forgot about this and released this little ancestor from the cave of the ghost country. If he makes trouble and raises a ghost king in Ise, it will be a big trouble.

Also, Xiao Yin took the lead all the way to this place. In other words, Xiao Yin was responsible for leading the way, and he didn't think much about it at the time. Looking back now, it's probably not a coincidence that he ended up here.

The ghost's attack on the wall just now was probably a specially set up formation to prevent anyone from accidentally hitting the wall and breaking the seal. As a result, he mistakenly thought it was an evil force and forcibly broke the formation.

Why would he think it was an evil spirit? Because the Yin Qi here was too strong, he was preconceived. His initial inference was correct. This was the sphere of influence of Ise Shrine. How could there be a great demon king? Even if this seal really suppresses a big demon and ghost king, its influence is limited to this forest at best and cannot affect the entire mountain, otherwise it would be called a seal.

As a result, the source of other Yin Qi is very suspicious. Don't forget that Xiao Yin itself is the fourth largest Yin object in the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, and can also create Yin Qi.

Then a rough speculation took shape in Qi Xuansu's mind. Xiao Yin discovered that there was a seal on this mountain, and there were "delicious" things inside, so he induced him to come here, and at the same time secretly created Yin Qi, making him mistakenly think that it was an evil spirit. , broke the formation, Xiao Yin took the initiative to lead the way, and finally came to the stone tablet.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yin. It's a pity that he still boasted of being an old man, but he was fooled around by this little girl who had never traveled far. In the end, he was still careless.

Xiao Yin noticed Qi Xuansu's gaze, but still stared at the stone tablet, and said in an innocent tone: "Brother, why are you staring at me? I don't taste good. If you eat it, I will get upset."

Qi Xuansu forced a smile: "I am not your brother, you are my ancestor."

Xiao Yin said: "Then let's talk about our own affairs. I call you brother, and you call me ancestor. Brother, ancestors want to eat delicious food, can you help them tear off these annoying red threads? Consider it a sign of filial piety. ”

Qi Xuansu laughed angrily: "Is this what Mr. Yin taught you?"

Xiao Yin tugged on Qi Xuansu's sleeve: "You want to complain to grandpa, right? I promise you won't dare to do it next time, just this once. Brother, please help me tear off those red threads, okay?"

Qi Xuansu pulled his sleeves and softened his tone: "Shall we eat next time? After I finish the errands at hand, you can eat whatever you want."

Xiao Yin pouted and said, "You're lying. What you want in your heart is to send me back to the cave of the ghost country and never let me out again."

Qi Xuansu was surprised again: "Can you read minds?"

Xiao Yin finally looked at Qi Xuansu with an innocent face: "I heard it. Who made you come so close to me? The voice in your heart is so loud. It's like shouting in my ear. I just don't want to listen." No way."

Qi Xuansu didn't care about anything else and hurriedly guarded the tomb, not daring to let Xiao Yin peek into his thoughts at will.
