Shao Gong is very busy, Tu Su forgive me

Shi Xing said excitedly: "Since we already know where the Blood Lake is, let's set off as soon as possible!"
Ling Yue hesitated, "This... we don't know if the blood lake shown on the second fragment is the blood lake in the Tie Zhu Temple, would it be rash to go there?"
Baili Tusu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ouyang Shaogong: "Shaogong, you decide."
One sentence drew everyone's attention to Ouyang Shaogong, and the latter did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Let's set off for Tiezhu Temple tomorrow, regardless of whether this blood lake is the blood that is indicated on the second fragment or not." The lake, after all, is a clue, so we have to check it anyway to be at ease."
Xiangling, who had been restless for a long time, was the first to raise her hand in agreement: "I agree with brother Shaogong!"
"I agree too!" Fang Lansheng, who was a step behind, said not to be outdone.
Feng Qingxue smiled: "I have to go in the morning and in the evening. It's better to go early to be at ease. If it's really there, it's better. If it's not, we can change the target as soon as possible without wasting time."
Yin Qianshang shrugged, and said without exception: "I think what Shaogong and Qingxue sister said is quite reasonable. Going late is worse than going early. This will save some time, and the only way to get rid of the evil spirit on Brother Tusu earlier is Good, no bad."
Hearing what everyone said, Ling Yue stopped raising objections and made a final decision, "Well, everyone go back tonight and have a good rest, and we will set off for Tiezhu Temple tomorrow."
Back in the inn room, Baili Tusu bent over and stood by the bed to make the bed, while Ouyang Shaogong asked Xiaoer for some tea, a pot of hot water and a set of tea sets, and sat at the table seriously to make tea, although Due to the quality of the tea leaves, he couldn't brew them as well as before, but the faint tea fragrance in the air calmed both of them involuntarily.
Ouyang Shaogong loves playing the qin the most, perhaps because his predecessor was Prince Changqin, his love for the qin has been engraved into his bone marrow, as if it has become an instinct.But apart from Qin, he also loves books and tea, not the kind of arty liking, but a true love for these things from the bottom of his heart, and makes these things a part of his life.Because these things can make his boiling heart calm and peaceful, so that he can maintain a certain calm state, and it is difficult to be disturbed by external objects.
When Baili Tusu made the bed in a strange way, Ouyang Shaogong's tea was almost ready.He poured a cup for Baili Tusu first, the light emerald green tea looked very clear and beautiful in the pure white porcelain cup, Baili Tusu looked like Ouyang Shaogong's eyes, the pupils were cut by autumn water, and the eyes were shining Yan, exceptionally charming.
Ouyang Shaogong also poured a cup for himself, and took a sip with his thin crimson lips against the snow-white cup. The thin water mist engulfed his picturesque eyebrows, and his red lips were even softer when they were wet with tea. From Li Tusu's point of view, he was even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting.
Suddenly, his cheeks became red, and Baili Tusu quickly drank the tea in the cup without tasting any taste, and Ouyang Shaogong gave him a half-smile look.
"Tu Su, although this is not a good tea, you need to savor it carefully to know its taste. It's too reckless for you to drink like this."
Baili Tusu put down the cup as if nothing had happened, "I don't know how to taste tea at all, so it would be artificial to make that appearance, it's better not to taste it."
"Tu Su is honest." Ouyang Shaogong put down his teacup and said with a smile: "In the eyes of those who understand, this tea can naturally taste the true meaning. But for those who don't, it's just a cup of thirst-quenching food. The former is just nicer to say, but the essence of tea has never changed.”
When Baili Tusu heard this, he vaguely felt that there was something in Ouyang Shaogong's words, but seeing that he got up and took off his hairband, put on his coat, and looked like he was going to rest and didn't want to say more, Baili Tusu didn't press the question any further.He has always been indifferent to certain things beyond his comprehension.
After a while, the lights in the room were turned off, and the soft moonlight poured into the room through the unclosed windows, faintly reflecting the two cuddling figures on the bed, sleeping quietly as if they would never be separated.
……
In the morning of the second day, Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu woke up early. When they went downstairs after washing, they only saw Ling Yue, and the others were probably still immersed in a dream and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Big brother." Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu greeted him at the same time, walked to the bench opposite him and sat down.
"Tu Su, Shao Gong." Ling Yue nodded towards the two of them, then turned his head to look at the sky outside the inn, and said, "It's still early, Lan Sheng and the others haven't woken up yet, let's have breakfast first, wait a while Just leave a copy for them."
"Okay, Xiaoer." Baili Tusu nodded, turned around and called Xiaoer over, ordered a few breakfast dishes, and after Ling Yue added a few more, they decided on their breakfast for today.Ouyang Shaogong just smiled and said nothing, he is not picky about food, because he can no longer eat now, and eating is just to satisfy his appetite and habits.
They ordered breakfast and came up quickly. After the three of them had almost eaten, Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling walked downstairs sleepily, followed by the energetic Feng Qingxue and the lazily yawning Yin Qianshang.
"Lan Sheng, Qingxue," Ling Yue greeted them when he saw them, "Come here and have some breakfast, we're going to Tie Zhu Guan after eating."
Fang Lansheng shuffled to Lingyue and sat down on his buttocks. He leaned against Lingyue's body limply, and opened his mouth to express that he wanted him to feed him. Although Lingyue was a little helpless, he still followed his will. He likes it delivered to his mouth earlier.
Feng Qingxue sat down, took a bun, took a bite, and looked at Fang Lansheng with contempt: "I said Lansheng, you are not a three-year-old child anymore, and you have to be fed by the elder brother to eat breakfast, shame on your face!"
Ouyang Shaogong also nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xiaolan, aren't you a flower demon now? Do you still need to sleep and eat? If you really need it, that's all. Why do you let the elder brother feed you?"
"Eating and sleeping are habits, and I can't change it in a while." Fang Lansheng ate a spoonful of porridge that Ling Yue brought to his mouth, and said, "As for asking the elder brother to feed you, it's because I don't know why I woke up this morning. I'm so tired, I don't want to move at all."
"If you want to be lazy, just say it. You are tired from everything. Could it be that you sneaked out to play last night?" Xiang Ling wrinkled her nose at Fang Lansheng and said.
I thought that Fang Lansheng would jump up and retort, but he just looked up at Xiangling and said weakly: "I didn't sneak out to play, I don't have any strength in my body right now. I don't want to move a finger."
When the others heard it, they immediately felt that something was wrong.Fang Lansheng is usually the liveliest one, but today she leans on Ling Yue uncharacteristically and says she doesn't want to move. Could it be that she really feels uncomfortable?
Baili Tusu looked at Ouyang Shaogong. The latter frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up, walked to Fang Lansheng, took his hand and felt his pulse. Seeing this, Ling Yue was also a little worried, and hurriedly asked: "Shaogong , how? What happened to Lan Sheng?"
Ouyang Shaogong shook his head and said nothing, he took his pulse carefully, then withdrew his hand after a while, looked at Fang Lansheng with a slightly reproachful look, and said: "It's okay, he just exhausted his true energy, adjust his breath a few more times Yes. It’s just that, Xiaolan, you are able to transform into a human form now because of the spiritual power of your senior brother. Your own cultivation is not enough to support a human body, so there is a time limit for you to transform into a human form every day. Did you try to be brave last night and not turn into Bixin Sulan to recuperate?"
"Uh..." Fang Lansheng's eyes drifted to the right and then to the left guiltily, "I just want to try how long I can last with my own strength..."
"Nonsense!" Ling Yue reprimanded lightly, "Your health is not well yet, and your cultivation base is also very weak, how can you do this kind of thing regardless of your body? From today onwards, you will spend one more hour every day recuperating as Bixin Sulan, Otherwise, I will take back the spiritual power that has been transferred to you."
"Ah! Don't, don't, don't!" Fang Lansheng's face collapsed, and he said bitterly, "Okay, okay, add an hour... just add an hour."
It was rare for him to be so obedient, and the anger that had just risen in Ling Yue's heart dissipated.
Ouyang Shaogong had already sat back to his original position, and was quietly watching the interaction between the two brothers, with a calm smile unconsciously showing on his face.
After finishing their breakfast, everyone took a rest and set off for Tiezhu Temple.Ling Yue knew how to control the sword, and the others also knew the art of soaring, so they didn't stop much along the way, and soon came to the gate of Tie Zhu Guan.
Tiezhu Temple is a Taoist temple with a long history. Although it is not as famous as Tianyong City, it is so solemn and solemn, but every brick and tile also has a heavy sense of historical precipitation, whether it is the bronze-colored gate with powerful spiritual power, or It is the winding path paved with bluestone outside the door, which exudes an ancient and quiet taste, and once you step on it, you will be involuntarily calmed down.
There is a wooden plaque hanging on the gate, and the three big characters of "Iron Column View" in gold are as bright as new, which is in stark contrast to the dark and heavy plaque, but it is unexpectedly harmonious and does not give birth to a sense of abruptness.
Ling Yue looked up, and said to the people behind him: "This is the Tiezhu temple. It is very clean and even a bit remote. The master of the temple is a senior with advanced cultivation. When you see him later, you must not lose your courtesy." , do you know? Lan Sheng."
The last sentence was obviously addressed to Fang Lansheng. Everyone present has their own way of dealing with people and things. Needless to say, Ouyang Shaogong, seeing his friends all over the world knows that he is well versed in this way. Baili Tusu has always known etiquette , Xiangling and Feng Qingxue are innocent and lively, and are very polite to everyone. Yin Qianshang seems careless, but after many years of ups and downs in the world, he naturally understands this, so the only person who needs to be instructed is Fang Lansheng.Although he was familiar with the books of sages and sages since he was a child, but his personality is too rambunctious and his speech is straight, he will always offend others unknowingly, so Ling Yue specially instructed him.
But obviously, Fang Lansheng was very dissatisfied with Ling Yue's special words. He wanted to argue with him, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, which made Feng Qing who thought he would make a big fuss Xue and Yin Qianshang were quite surprised.
Ling Yue saw that although he was dissatisfied, he didn't make any noise and seemed very satisfied, so he said "let's go in", and walked forward first.
Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu walked behind him and Fang Lansheng one step behind Lingyue. The former was very interested in a small defensive formation engraved on the gate of the Tiezhu Temple. Things you haven't seen will always be very inquisitive and interesting.
As soon as they walked to the door, the door suddenly opened automatically. An old man dressed in blue robes, holding a snow-white dust whisk, and a kind face appeared in front of them. Come on.
This is the main viewer of the Iron Column View.
"I have a feeling that there will be distinguished guests coming today. As expected, guests who have come from afar, please come in." The temple master bowed slightly to salute several people, and after they hurriedly returned the salute, he turned his body sideways and signaled them to enter.
Ling Yue took a step forward and said: "Senior, this junior is Ling Yue, the chief disciple of Tianyong City, this junior is Baili Tusu, and they are all good friends of this junior, Ouyang Shaogong, Yin Qianshang, Feng Qingxue, Xiangling, this time I came to Tiezhu Temple, and I wanted to ask for something."
"I understand," the temple master was not surprised, as if he had expected it, he said: "Everyone, please come in and talk about it. It just so happens that I also have something to ask for your help."
A group of people entered the main hall of Tiezhu temple after a few polite words. The temple master was not in a hurry to talk, but asked someone to bring tea first, and took advantage of this time to smooth his thoughts.
At the same time, Ouyang Shaogong was a little puzzled.Originally, he could still feel the evil spirit in Jiangdu, but now he couldn't feel it when he entered the Tiezhu temple at the source. Not only did he not feel the evil spirit, but he also felt a neutral and peaceful fresh air around him, faintly Guarding the Iron Pillar View.
why?
71. View of the Iron Pillar ([-])
Ouyang Shaogong's fingers lightly rubbed the edge of the armrest of the chair. This is his habitual action when he is thinking. The careful Baili Tusu immediately discovered his deep thought. Although he wanted to ask, but he looked Seeing that there were so many people around me, I gave up this idea and decided to ask when I was alone.
Baili Tusu was stunned at this thought, and then smiled wryly in his heart, feeling that he was really crazy, wanting to know all Ouyang Shaogong's thoughts, even if it was just a casual thought.He felt less and less like himself now, but he didn't hate the change.
There was a moment of silence in the main hall, and everyone had different thoughts. They didn't stop their thinking until the tea was served, and they were ready to get down to business.
The temple master is the owner here, and he should have started the conversation, but the matter of the last fragment of the Qianji copper plate is too important, so Ling Yue thought for a long time, and he was the first to speak: "The temple master, I am waiting here The next time I came here to ask for something, I hope the Lord will answer."
The temple master smiled softly, "But it's okay, as long as I can help you, I won't shirk."
"Thank you, Master." Ling Yue's eyes showed a gleam of joy, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he threw a look at Ouyang Shaogong, motioning him to answer.
Of course Ouyang Shaogong would not disappoint Ling Yue.He first bowed his hands to the temple master, and then said in a warm voice: "My Ouyang Shaogong was originally a disciple of Tianyong City, but I had to leave due to various reasons, but I met my senior brother Ling Yue and this Baili Tusu knew that his life was in danger because of the fierce sword burning the evil spirit. It happened that when he was traveling in the rivers and lakes to practice medicine, he found an ancient book, which recorded a strange thing that could drive away the evil spirit in his body. However, looking for this Before the strange thing, I still need to find three things. Now I get two out of three. I learned that the last one is in a place called 'Blood Lake'. I heard that there is a blood lake under the view of Iron Column. So I waited to find it, just to investigate into the blood lake, and wait for the Lord to answer."
Hearing the word "Blood Lake", the temple master stopped holding the teacup, his complexion changed slightly, and he soon returned to normal, and said nonchalantly: "I see, although your purpose is different from mys, but there are some similarities. Here, everyone, you may wish to listen to a story told by me first."
"Monastery master, please tell me." Ouyang Shaogong didn't change his face, he already guessed what the temple master wanted to say, it was nothing more than the past between Tiezhu Temple and the wolf demon.
Sure enough, as Ouyang Shaogong expected, after organizing the language a little, the temple master explained the reason why the moon devouring Xuandi, the wolf demon, was sealed here, and the relationship between him and the previous temple master. The known past.However, although there was a reason for the incident, Ouyang Shaogong still couldn't help but look pale when he heard that the former Guanzhu used his body as a guide, and used the Moon Devouring Xuandi's concern for him to trick him into throwing himself into the net, and then sealed it for hundreds of years Changed slightly, the hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.Ouyang Shaogong's movements were very secretive and the range was small, but he still did not escape Baili Tusu's eyes. This was the first time he saw Ouyang Shaogong moved by other people's affairs.
"...after sealing Emperor Moon Devourer for several years, seeing that there was no change in him, the old temple master left Iron Pillar Temple and traveled all over the world, and he has never come back to see it until now. The strength of Xuan Emperor Moon Devourer I am much stronger, if it breaks free from the seal, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue it, so I would like to ask you to help, so as to prevent the wolf demon from endangering the world again."
The viewer ended his narration with his purpose, with sincere words and a sincere attitude, making it impossible to refuse, but Ouyang Shaogong did not want to help him very much. Of course, in order to find the last piece of the Qianji copper plate, he would not directly explain.
"As the viewer said, this Moon Devourer Xuandi seems to be a heinous monster?" Ouyang Shaogong put down his teacup and smiled, his gentle and calm smile was as unreal as a mask, which made Fang Lansheng who knew him very well feel strong I shuddered.
The viewer, who didn't know the crisis was coming, nodded, "This is nature. It feeds on people and kills innocent people. Nature cannot forgive the crime."
Ouyang Shaogong was noncommittal to his words, but the curvature of the corners of his lips became wider, his tone was gentle and cold, "But I feel that the Moon Devouring Emperor is not what you said. In the era when it lived, there were famines, disasters, and people cannibalism, not to mention that it was a wolf, and if you say it, the Moon Devouring Emperor saved the previous temple master, and even knew that it was possible. It was a trap for him to risk himself, but the previous temple master designed him based on this, who is right and who is wrong? And how do you know that those killed by it are innocent? Human beings are born guilty, and I don’t know how many creatures in the natural world have been killed. How should these things be settled? How to judge? I admire the measurement of the Lord’s heart for all living beings, but you What I said, I can’t agree with.”
"This..." Guan Zhu was at a loss for words, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only look at Ling Yue for help.
Ling Yue hesitated because he didn't know how to refute Ouyang Shaogong's words.Fang Lansheng on the side couldn't sit still, and he didn't like the strong personal subjective words of the temple master, so he immediately said sarcastically: "I think what Shao Gong said is absolutely right, Xuandi Moon Devourer is eating people and killing people. There's something wrong, but you guys who are former viewers are not things, you use other people... Oh no, it's because of Bie Yao's concern for him to design people, this is a highly respected senior, tsk!"
"Xiao Lan, don't be rude." As soon as Fang Lansheng finished speaking, Ouyang Shaogong reprimanded lightly, then looked at the temple master who was not angry because Fang Lansheng scolded the previous temple master, and said, "I I don't intend to offend the temple master, but I have something in my heart, and I don't want to vomit. I can go with the temple master to see the Emperor Xuan Yue who was sealed under the blood lake, but it may not be helpful. It all depends on God's will."
"It turns out that what I said was biased, but you two are right." The temple master shook his head, without a trace of anger on his face, instead he said with a smile: "So, I need to trouble you all to follow me to the Blood Lake."
After speaking, the temple master stood up and walked out the door first.Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong and others got up and followed.
The temple master led them to the blood lake where the wolf monster Moon Devourer Xuandi was sealed, looked at the calm lake without a trace of light reflection, and said: "Under this blood lake is the place where Moon Devourer Xuandi is sealed, although I don’t know why you entered the Blood Lake, but if you are not sure, don’t go under the Blood Lake easily.”
Ling Yue nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder, but since we have promised that the temple master will find a way to get rid of the wolf demon, we must go inside to explore. I will do what I can, and the temple master doesn't have to worry."
"Then I don't worry about it." The priest bowed to several people, turned into white light and left.
Watching the temple master leave, Fang Lansheng immediately said: "Shaogong Shaogong, the old man is gone, where should we start looking now?"
"Lan Sheng, don't be rude, the temple master is a highly respected senior." Before Ouyang Shaogong could answer, Ling Yue rebuked.
Fang Lansheng curled his lips, very upset that Ling Yue reprimanded him by someone who seemed insignificant to him, so he shook his head and ran to Ouyang Shaogong's side, hugging his arm, and asked his question again.Seeing Fang Lansheng who was playing with a small temper, Ouyang Shaogong rubbed his hair helplessly, and said: "The second fragment only gave us a hint of the blood lake. I don't know if it is here, or if it is above or Below. There is the Moon Devouring Emperor Xuandi under the blood lake, which is more dangerous, so let's start looking from above."
However, having said that, Ouyang Shaogong also knew that the last fragment was not so easy to find. Like the first fragment, the reminder of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum was not given very early, but they still made a big circle from the underground world. I found it after I came back. Although the fate has not yet arrived, I don’t know what to go through to find this last piece. These experiences are like tests, which cannot be avoided at all. Before the test, even if it is within reach, it is still Every day.
"Okay! Then I'll be with Xiangling!" Fang Lansheng ran to Xiangling when Ouyang Shaogong finished speaking, grabbed her arm and said loudly, and skillfully ignored the look on Xiangling's face. Disgusted expression.
Ouyang Shaogong was noncommittal, Feng Qingxue thought for a while, then turned around and grabbed Yin Qianshang, "Then I'll be with Brother Qianshang, let's go find Dongmian."
"I'm in the same group as Shaogong." Baili Tusu said in a cold tone that could not be refuted.
Ling Yue looked calm, "I want to go down to the blood lake."
"Hey! This is not possible!" Yin Qianshang, who had no chance to speak, objected immediately, "Didn't you listen to the priest just now? If you are not sure, it is best not to go down. You have to go down alone, absolutely not!"
Ouyang Shaogong frowned disapprovingly, "We don't know the specific strength of Xuandi Moon Devourer yet, going down to investigate rashly will only bring unnecessary danger to ourselves, we should search here first, and then go down if there is no result. Bar."
"That's right, brother, let's go down after we've searched up there." Baili Tusu echoed.
However, Ling Yue did not listen to their persuasion, but said earnestly and resolutely: "It is precisely because we don't understand the situation below that I have to go down to explore first, at least to test the strength of Xuandi Moon Devourer, and to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Countermeasures. Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life, if I lose, I will leave as soon as possible."
"If it's for testing, it should be the most suitable for me to go down." Ouyang Shaogong said calmly, "My skill is higher than yours. Only when I meet the Moon Devouring Emperor can I test out its true strength to the maximum, and there will be no any danger."
The firmness on Ling Yue's face suddenly turned into silence.
So Ling Yue, who was rarely persuaded to cancel his decision, was persuaded by Ouyang Shaogong's simple words, if Fu Que were here, he didn't know how depressed he would be.
Not much gossip, a few people were divided into groups according to their preferences and then walked in different directions.
Blood Lake is a forbidden area of Tiezhuguan. From the outside, it looks like a huge cave. In the middle of the cave is a deep lake with no waves. People feel uneasy.Except for the treacherous blood lake, the walls of the cave have been artificially repaired to be very flat and smooth, with dozens of bright pearls emitting soft white light embedded in it. The originally dark cave is completely illuminated by these pearls so that you will not lose sight of your fingers. .There are still many small holes on the walls around the cave that lead to unknown destinations. Just now the master walked in a hurry and did not tell them where these holes lead, but it should not be a place that cannot be visited, otherwise the master would not remind them.And the focus of several people's search is these holes.
Ouyang Shaogong picked a hole closest to him, gestured to Baili Tusu, and the two walked in first.When the rest of the people saw this, they all followed suit and chose their targets and walked in.
72. View of the Iron Pillar ([-])
Walking into the hole that is about one person high, there is a long and slender corridor that can only allow two people to pass side by side. It is very cold and dark. The only light source is the candle in Ouyang Shaogong's hand that is so weak that it seems to be extinguished immediately.There is a layer of water on the floor under my feet, and I don't know how it came from. As soon as I step on it, I can feel the dampness, which makes people very uncomfortable.
As they walked forward, the corridor became wider and wider. After walking for a while, the two of them suddenly felt their eyes brighten, and their vision suddenly widened. It turned out that they had reached the end of the corridor, an empty stone room.There are two lotus-shaped candlesticks on the wall, on which are two golden candles that are as thick as a baby's arm. The light is very bright, illuminating the small stone room like daytime.But other than that, there's nothing here.
Ouyang Shaogong looked around and said: "You can see everything here at a glance, probably there won't be anything we want, let's go, let's go out."
"En." Baili Tusu nodded, followed in Ouyang Shaogong's footsteps and was about to leave here.
Suddenly, Ouyang Shaogong paused, turned around suddenly, and before Baili Tusu realized it, he slapped out a palm quickly, which happened to meet a handprint that was condensed like a solid body, and the spiritual power collided with each other Offset, the remaining strength spread to both sides, the floor and walls were shaken by this powerful aftermath, causing countless tiny cracks to appear.
"Who!" Ouyang Shaogong flicked his wide sleeves, his clear eyes flashed a sharp and cold color like a sword, and even his usually gentle and calm voice had a hint of coldness.
Baili Tusu's expression froze, and he saw that the space a few steps away from them suddenly distorted for a while, and then a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he saw his master, Ziyin, who had met once in the Qingyu altar. Xuan Xiao.
Ouyang Shaogong was taken aback, "Mr. Xuan Xiao, the elder holding the sword?"
Baili Tusu also showed a look of astonishment on his face, "Master, why is it you?"
Master Ziyin, that is, Murong Ziying, was not surprised when he saw Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu, but was more puzzled, "Tu Su, Shaogong, why did you come to Tiezhu Temple?"
Baili Tusu and Ouyang Shaogong looked at each other, and said softly: "The disciple and Shaogong... are here to solve the evil spirit on the disciple."
"I see, I thought..."
"Under the blood lake, is there something you need?" Before Murong Ziying finished speaking, Xuan Xiao asked, his cold and indifferent eyes fell directly on Ouyang Shaogong, appearing extremely focused.
"Yes." Ouyang Shaogong nodded, and replied without any hesitation, "Why did Mr. Xuan Xiao come here?"
In fact, Ouyang Shaogong has only met Xuan Xiao a few times, and the communication between the two is rare, but they can be regarded as close friends for a long time, but he has never seen him dressed so rigorously as if he was going to participate in some serious event The party is average.
He was dressed in a dark blue robe similar to a formal suit, and his black girdle outlined his slender and well-proportioned figure.The long black hair was tied high with a blue hair crown, and two long strands of hair crossed the temples and fell on the chest, revealing a trace of freedom in the rigor.A black strap is wrapped around the wrist, tightly depicting slender and strong lines. The strap is pressed with unknown lines with silver thread. The changing light is like flowing waterlines, and the lines on the neckline close to the neck Reflecting each other, the whole person exudes a low-key noble elegance.
"The purpose of my coming here is also under the blood lake, but it is not what you are looking for, don't worry." Xuan Xiao said coldly as if he had seen through Ouyang Shaogong's thoughts at a glance.
Ouyang Shaogong smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, we might as well go down together." Turning his gaze, he said: "What's more, the elder holding the sword and Tu Su also have something to say."
Murong Ziying raised the corners of her lips slightly, and cast a very veiled glance at Xuan Xiao, but the latter didn't speak, so Ouyang Shaogong took it for granted.
In fact, there was not much to look for in the forbidden area. It took Fang Lansheng and Lingyue less than two quarters of an hour to search all the places they could find. Neng resentfully walked back to the blood lake and stayed there, waiting for Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu to come and join them.
Not long after, the people who got a little impatient saw Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu walking out of a hole not far away side by side, followed by two people who should not have appeared here.
"Master!" Ling Yue exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.
……
Xuan Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and didn't know whether he was closing his eyes to rest his mind or meditating while adjusting his breath. Murong Ziying stood beside him, faintly showing a sense of protection.
Ouyang Shaogong stood still beside the blood lake, looking at the calm lake with deep eyes, the soft light emitted by the pearls on the wall outlined his delicate profile, but could not shine into his deep eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking, including Baili Tusu.At this time, Baili Tusu didn't have time to think about anything, because he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
I don't know why, since he walked into this forbidden area, the evil spirit that had been suppressed in his body suddenly started to move, as if he was given the power to resist control by something, and suddenly started a violent counterattack.If it weren't for Baili Tusu's amazing self-control and his experience in suppressing evil spirits, maybe he would be in the predicament of being backlashed by evil spirits three years ago.
But even so, Baili Tusu gradually felt a little powerless as the evil spirit counterattacked more and more intensely.His face was slightly pale, and suddenly he clutched his chest and groaned, a ray of red spread in his eyes.
Ouyang Shaogong, who had been thinking about other things, keenly caught Baili Tusu's deliberately suppressed muffled hum, pulled away from his thoughts, turned his head in confusion, just in time to see his pale face, and hurried away He went to hold his arm, "Tu Su, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know." Baili Tusu's words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, and Ouyang Shaogong could feel the tense arm muscles under his sleeves, as if he was trying to suppress something, "bad air... no Knowing why, I suddenly started to counterattack violently..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Baili Tusu knelt down on one knee as if he couldn't support himself, startling Ouyang Shaogong and others who were caught off guard.
Bright red evil spirit permeated from the body, wrapped around Baili Tusu, and a bright red vertical mark emerged from the center of his brow, dazzlingly bright.The black eyes have gradually been covered with dark red, which is exactly the same as when the evil spirit broke out in the past.
Ouyang Shaogong was taken aback, he put his hand on Baili Tusu's right wrist to feel the pulse, and found that the evil spirit that had calmed down somehow broke away from his suppression, ran around in his body, and began to erode his sanity.The counterattack of evil spirit came too suddenly, it caught Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu by surprise, and they both felt a little bit at a loss for a while.
Xuan Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced this way, a faint blue light subconsciously lit up in his hands, as if he would kill Baili Tusu immediately if he lost control .But soon, as if he remembered something, he dissipated the spiritual power that was gradually gathering in his hands.
"Tu Su!"
"Susu!"
"Wooden face!"
"Brother Tu Su!"
Murong Ziying and the others, who were a step behind, also ran to Baili Tusu's side quickly. Seeing that his face was ugly, and his spiritual power was also faintly churning, Ling Yue said seriously: "Tu Su, are you showing off your evil spirit again?"
Feng Qingxue was so anxious that she was about to cry, she wanted to help him but didn't know how to do it, "Susu, how are you? What's wrong with you? Haven't you been able to control the evil spirit in your body?"
Murong Ziying was the calmest among them. Although his eyes were flickering with worry, he said very calmly: "Tu Su, mobilize your spiritual power and suppress the evil spirit in your body as before."
Baili Tusu nodded, reluctantly sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to use his internal force to suppress the sudden counterattack of evil spirit.Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong groaned for a moment, then put his palm on his back, transforming spiritual power into water system and crossing into his body.As soon as the extremely docile and soft spiritual power entered his body, most of it was assimilated by his internal power, and the remaining small part joined the team to suppress the evil spirit.The evil spirit of burning silence belongs to fire, and the spiritual power of the water system has the greatest suppression effect on it. Ouyang Shaogong's attack greatly relieved Baili Tusu's pressure.
Seeing this, Fang Lansheng and others on the side stayed quietly, not daring to breathe too hard for fear of disturbing the two of them.Fortunately, although the evil spirit counterattack was very fierce, it was still suppressed by Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tu Susu.
Ling Yue hesitated, "This... we don't know if the blood lake shown on the second fragment is the blood lake in the Tie Zhu Temple, would it be rash to go there?"
Baili Tusu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ouyang Shaogong: "Shaogong, you decide."
One sentence drew everyone's attention to Ouyang Shaogong, and the latter did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Let's set off for Tiezhu Temple tomorrow, regardless of whether this blood lake is the blood that is indicated on the second fragment or not." The lake, after all, is a clue, so we have to check it anyway to be at ease."
Xiangling, who had been restless for a long time, was the first to raise her hand in agreement: "I agree with brother Shaogong!"
"I agree too!" Fang Lansheng, who was a step behind, said not to be outdone.
Feng Qingxue smiled: "I have to go in the morning and in the evening. It's better to go early to be at ease. If it's really there, it's better. If it's not, we can change the target as soon as possible without wasting time."
Yin Qianshang shrugged, and said without exception: "I think what Shaogong and Qingxue sister said is quite reasonable. Going late is worse than going early. This will save some time, and the only way to get rid of the evil spirit on Brother Tusu earlier is Good, no bad."
Hearing what everyone said, Ling Yue stopped raising objections and made a final decision, "Well, everyone go back tonight and have a good rest, and we will set off for Tiezhu Temple tomorrow."
Back in the inn room, Baili Tusu bent over and stood by the bed to make the bed, while Ouyang Shaogong asked Xiaoer for some tea, a pot of hot water and a set of tea sets, and sat at the table seriously to make tea, although Due to the quality of the tea leaves, he couldn't brew them as well as before, but the faint tea fragrance in the air calmed both of them involuntarily.
Ouyang Shaogong loves playing the qin the most, perhaps because his predecessor was Prince Changqin, his love for the qin has been engraved into his bone marrow, as if it has become an instinct.But apart from Qin, he also loves books and tea, not the kind of arty liking, but a true love for these things from the bottom of his heart, and makes these things a part of his life.Because these things can make his boiling heart calm and peaceful, so that he can maintain a certain calm state, and it is difficult to be disturbed by external objects.
When Baili Tusu made the bed in a strange way, Ouyang Shaogong's tea was almost ready.He poured a cup for Baili Tusu first, the light emerald green tea looked very clear and beautiful in the pure white porcelain cup, Baili Tusu looked like Ouyang Shaogong's eyes, the pupils were cut by autumn water, and the eyes were shining Yan, exceptionally charming.
Ouyang Shaogong also poured a cup for himself, and took a sip with his thin crimson lips against the snow-white cup. The thin water mist engulfed his picturesque eyebrows, and his red lips were even softer when they were wet with tea. From Li Tusu's point of view, he was even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting.
Suddenly, his cheeks became red, and Baili Tusu quickly drank the tea in the cup without tasting any taste, and Ouyang Shaogong gave him a half-smile look.
"Tu Su, although this is not a good tea, you need to savor it carefully to know its taste. It's too reckless for you to drink like this."
Baili Tusu put down the cup as if nothing had happened, "I don't know how to taste tea at all, so it would be artificial to make that appearance, it's better not to taste it."
"Tu Su is honest." Ouyang Shaogong put down his teacup and said with a smile: "In the eyes of those who understand, this tea can naturally taste the true meaning. But for those who don't, it's just a cup of thirst-quenching food. The former is just nicer to say, but the essence of tea has never changed.”
When Baili Tusu heard this, he vaguely felt that there was something in Ouyang Shaogong's words, but seeing that he got up and took off his hairband, put on his coat, and looked like he was going to rest and didn't want to say more, Baili Tusu didn't press the question any further.He has always been indifferent to certain things beyond his comprehension.
After a while, the lights in the room were turned off, and the soft moonlight poured into the room through the unclosed windows, faintly reflecting the two cuddling figures on the bed, sleeping quietly as if they would never be separated.
……
In the morning of the second day, Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu woke up early. When they went downstairs after washing, they only saw Ling Yue, and the others were probably still immersed in a dream and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Big brother." Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu greeted him at the same time, walked to the bench opposite him and sat down.
"Tu Su, Shao Gong." Ling Yue nodded towards the two of them, then turned his head to look at the sky outside the inn, and said, "It's still early, Lan Sheng and the others haven't woken up yet, let's have breakfast first, wait a while Just leave a copy for them."
"Okay, Xiaoer." Baili Tusu nodded, turned around and called Xiaoer over, ordered a few breakfast dishes, and after Ling Yue added a few more, they decided on their breakfast for today.Ouyang Shaogong just smiled and said nothing, he is not picky about food, because he can no longer eat now, and eating is just to satisfy his appetite and habits.
They ordered breakfast and came up quickly. After the three of them had almost eaten, Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling walked downstairs sleepily, followed by the energetic Feng Qingxue and the lazily yawning Yin Qianshang.
"Lan Sheng, Qingxue," Ling Yue greeted them when he saw them, "Come here and have some breakfast, we're going to Tie Zhu Guan after eating."
Fang Lansheng shuffled to Lingyue and sat down on his buttocks. He leaned against Lingyue's body limply, and opened his mouth to express that he wanted him to feed him. Although Lingyue was a little helpless, he still followed his will. He likes it delivered to his mouth earlier.
Feng Qingxue sat down, took a bun, took a bite, and looked at Fang Lansheng with contempt: "I said Lansheng, you are not a three-year-old child anymore, and you have to be fed by the elder brother to eat breakfast, shame on your face!"
Ouyang Shaogong also nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xiaolan, aren't you a flower demon now? Do you still need to sleep and eat? If you really need it, that's all. Why do you let the elder brother feed you?"
"Eating and sleeping are habits, and I can't change it in a while." Fang Lansheng ate a spoonful of porridge that Ling Yue brought to his mouth, and said, "As for asking the elder brother to feed you, it's because I don't know why I woke up this morning. I'm so tired, I don't want to move at all."
"If you want to be lazy, just say it. You are tired from everything. Could it be that you sneaked out to play last night?" Xiang Ling wrinkled her nose at Fang Lansheng and said.
I thought that Fang Lansheng would jump up and retort, but he just looked up at Xiangling and said weakly: "I didn't sneak out to play, I don't have any strength in my body right now. I don't want to move a finger."
When the others heard it, they immediately felt that something was wrong.Fang Lansheng is usually the liveliest one, but today she leans on Ling Yue uncharacteristically and says she doesn't want to move. Could it be that she really feels uncomfortable?
Baili Tusu looked at Ouyang Shaogong. The latter frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up, walked to Fang Lansheng, took his hand and felt his pulse. Seeing this, Ling Yue was also a little worried, and hurriedly asked: "Shaogong , how? What happened to Lan Sheng?"
Ouyang Shaogong shook his head and said nothing, he took his pulse carefully, then withdrew his hand after a while, looked at Fang Lansheng with a slightly reproachful look, and said: "It's okay, he just exhausted his true energy, adjust his breath a few more times Yes. It’s just that, Xiaolan, you are able to transform into a human form now because of the spiritual power of your senior brother. Your own cultivation is not enough to support a human body, so there is a time limit for you to transform into a human form every day. Did you try to be brave last night and not turn into Bixin Sulan to recuperate?"
"Uh..." Fang Lansheng's eyes drifted to the right and then to the left guiltily, "I just want to try how long I can last with my own strength..."
"Nonsense!" Ling Yue reprimanded lightly, "Your health is not well yet, and your cultivation base is also very weak, how can you do this kind of thing regardless of your body? From today onwards, you will spend one more hour every day recuperating as Bixin Sulan, Otherwise, I will take back the spiritual power that has been transferred to you."
"Ah! Don't, don't, don't!" Fang Lansheng's face collapsed, and he said bitterly, "Okay, okay, add an hour... just add an hour."
It was rare for him to be so obedient, and the anger that had just risen in Ling Yue's heart dissipated.
Ouyang Shaogong had already sat back to his original position, and was quietly watching the interaction between the two brothers, with a calm smile unconsciously showing on his face.
After finishing their breakfast, everyone took a rest and set off for Tiezhu Temple.Ling Yue knew how to control the sword, and the others also knew the art of soaring, so they didn't stop much along the way, and soon came to the gate of Tie Zhu Guan.
Tiezhu Temple is a Taoist temple with a long history. Although it is not as famous as Tianyong City, it is so solemn and solemn, but every brick and tile also has a heavy sense of historical precipitation, whether it is the bronze-colored gate with powerful spiritual power, or It is the winding path paved with bluestone outside the door, which exudes an ancient and quiet taste, and once you step on it, you will be involuntarily calmed down.
There is a wooden plaque hanging on the gate, and the three big characters of "Iron Column View" in gold are as bright as new, which is in stark contrast to the dark and heavy plaque, but it is unexpectedly harmonious and does not give birth to a sense of abruptness.
Ling Yue looked up, and said to the people behind him: "This is the Tiezhu temple. It is very clean and even a bit remote. The master of the temple is a senior with advanced cultivation. When you see him later, you must not lose your courtesy." , do you know? Lan Sheng."
The last sentence was obviously addressed to Fang Lansheng. Everyone present has their own way of dealing with people and things. Needless to say, Ouyang Shaogong, seeing his friends all over the world knows that he is well versed in this way. Baili Tusu has always known etiquette , Xiangling and Feng Qingxue are innocent and lively, and are very polite to everyone. Yin Qianshang seems careless, but after many years of ups and downs in the world, he naturally understands this, so the only person who needs to be instructed is Fang Lansheng.Although he was familiar with the books of sages and sages since he was a child, but his personality is too rambunctious and his speech is straight, he will always offend others unknowingly, so Ling Yue specially instructed him.
But obviously, Fang Lansheng was very dissatisfied with Ling Yue's special words. He wanted to argue with him, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, which made Feng Qing who thought he would make a big fuss Xue and Yin Qianshang were quite surprised.
Ling Yue saw that although he was dissatisfied, he didn't make any noise and seemed very satisfied, so he said "let's go in", and walked forward first.
Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu walked behind him and Fang Lansheng one step behind Lingyue. The former was very interested in a small defensive formation engraved on the gate of the Tiezhu Temple. Things you haven't seen will always be very inquisitive and interesting.
As soon as they walked to the door, the door suddenly opened automatically. An old man dressed in blue robes, holding a snow-white dust whisk, and a kind face appeared in front of them. Come on.
This is the main viewer of the Iron Column View.
"I have a feeling that there will be distinguished guests coming today. As expected, guests who have come from afar, please come in." The temple master bowed slightly to salute several people, and after they hurriedly returned the salute, he turned his body sideways and signaled them to enter.
Ling Yue took a step forward and said: "Senior, this junior is Ling Yue, the chief disciple of Tianyong City, this junior is Baili Tusu, and they are all good friends of this junior, Ouyang Shaogong, Yin Qianshang, Feng Qingxue, Xiangling, this time I came to Tiezhu Temple, and I wanted to ask for something."
"I understand," the temple master was not surprised, as if he had expected it, he said: "Everyone, please come in and talk about it. It just so happens that I also have something to ask for your help."
A group of people entered the main hall of Tiezhu temple after a few polite words. The temple master was not in a hurry to talk, but asked someone to bring tea first, and took advantage of this time to smooth his thoughts.
At the same time, Ouyang Shaogong was a little puzzled.Originally, he could still feel the evil spirit in Jiangdu, but now he couldn't feel it when he entered the Tiezhu temple at the source. Not only did he not feel the evil spirit, but he also felt a neutral and peaceful fresh air around him, faintly Guarding the Iron Pillar View.
why?
71. View of the Iron Pillar ([-])
Ouyang Shaogong's fingers lightly rubbed the edge of the armrest of the chair. This is his habitual action when he is thinking. The careful Baili Tusu immediately discovered his deep thought. Although he wanted to ask, but he looked Seeing that there were so many people around me, I gave up this idea and decided to ask when I was alone.
Baili Tusu was stunned at this thought, and then smiled wryly in his heart, feeling that he was really crazy, wanting to know all Ouyang Shaogong's thoughts, even if it was just a casual thought.He felt less and less like himself now, but he didn't hate the change.
There was a moment of silence in the main hall, and everyone had different thoughts. They didn't stop their thinking until the tea was served, and they were ready to get down to business.
The temple master is the owner here, and he should have started the conversation, but the matter of the last fragment of the Qianji copper plate is too important, so Ling Yue thought for a long time, and he was the first to speak: "The temple master, I am waiting here The next time I came here to ask for something, I hope the Lord will answer."
The temple master smiled softly, "But it's okay, as long as I can help you, I won't shirk."
"Thank you, Master." Ling Yue's eyes showed a gleam of joy, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he threw a look at Ouyang Shaogong, motioning him to answer.
Of course Ouyang Shaogong would not disappoint Ling Yue.He first bowed his hands to the temple master, and then said in a warm voice: "My Ouyang Shaogong was originally a disciple of Tianyong City, but I had to leave due to various reasons, but I met my senior brother Ling Yue and this Baili Tusu knew that his life was in danger because of the fierce sword burning the evil spirit. It happened that when he was traveling in the rivers and lakes to practice medicine, he found an ancient book, which recorded a strange thing that could drive away the evil spirit in his body. However, looking for this Before the strange thing, I still need to find three things. Now I get two out of three. I learned that the last one is in a place called 'Blood Lake'. I heard that there is a blood lake under the view of Iron Column. So I waited to find it, just to investigate into the blood lake, and wait for the Lord to answer."
Hearing the word "Blood Lake", the temple master stopped holding the teacup, his complexion changed slightly, and he soon returned to normal, and said nonchalantly: "I see, although your purpose is different from mys, but there are some similarities. Here, everyone, you may wish to listen to a story told by me first."
"Monastery master, please tell me." Ouyang Shaogong didn't change his face, he already guessed what the temple master wanted to say, it was nothing more than the past between Tiezhu Temple and the wolf demon.
Sure enough, as Ouyang Shaogong expected, after organizing the language a little, the temple master explained the reason why the moon devouring Xuandi, the wolf demon, was sealed here, and the relationship between him and the previous temple master. The known past.However, although there was a reason for the incident, Ouyang Shaogong still couldn't help but look pale when he heard that the former Guanzhu used his body as a guide, and used the Moon Devouring Xuandi's concern for him to trick him into throwing himself into the net, and then sealed it for hundreds of years Changed slightly, the hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.Ouyang Shaogong's movements were very secretive and the range was small, but he still did not escape Baili Tusu's eyes. This was the first time he saw Ouyang Shaogong moved by other people's affairs.
"...after sealing Emperor Moon Devourer for several years, seeing that there was no change in him, the old temple master left Iron Pillar Temple and traveled all over the world, and he has never come back to see it until now. The strength of Xuan Emperor Moon Devourer I am much stronger, if it breaks free from the seal, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue it, so I would like to ask you to help, so as to prevent the wolf demon from endangering the world again."
The viewer ended his narration with his purpose, with sincere words and a sincere attitude, making it impossible to refuse, but Ouyang Shaogong did not want to help him very much. Of course, in order to find the last piece of the Qianji copper plate, he would not directly explain.
"As the viewer said, this Moon Devourer Xuandi seems to be a heinous monster?" Ouyang Shaogong put down his teacup and smiled, his gentle and calm smile was as unreal as a mask, which made Fang Lansheng who knew him very well feel strong I shuddered.
The viewer, who didn't know the crisis was coming, nodded, "This is nature. It feeds on people and kills innocent people. Nature cannot forgive the crime."
Ouyang Shaogong was noncommittal to his words, but the curvature of the corners of his lips became wider, his tone was gentle and cold, "But I feel that the Moon Devouring Emperor is not what you said. In the era when it lived, there were famines, disasters, and people cannibalism, not to mention that it was a wolf, and if you say it, the Moon Devouring Emperor saved the previous temple master, and even knew that it was possible. It was a trap for him to risk himself, but the previous temple master designed him based on this, who is right and who is wrong? And how do you know that those killed by it are innocent? Human beings are born guilty, and I don’t know how many creatures in the natural world have been killed. How should these things be settled? How to judge? I admire the measurement of the Lord’s heart for all living beings, but you What I said, I can’t agree with.”
"This..." Guan Zhu was at a loss for words, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only look at Ling Yue for help.
Ling Yue hesitated because he didn't know how to refute Ouyang Shaogong's words.Fang Lansheng on the side couldn't sit still, and he didn't like the strong personal subjective words of the temple master, so he immediately said sarcastically: "I think what Shao Gong said is absolutely right, Xuandi Moon Devourer is eating people and killing people. There's something wrong, but you guys who are former viewers are not things, you use other people... Oh no, it's because of Bie Yao's concern for him to design people, this is a highly respected senior, tsk!"
"Xiao Lan, don't be rude." As soon as Fang Lansheng finished speaking, Ouyang Shaogong reprimanded lightly, then looked at the temple master who was not angry because Fang Lansheng scolded the previous temple master, and said, "I I don't intend to offend the temple master, but I have something in my heart, and I don't want to vomit. I can go with the temple master to see the Emperor Xuan Yue who was sealed under the blood lake, but it may not be helpful. It all depends on God's will."
"It turns out that what I said was biased, but you two are right." The temple master shook his head, without a trace of anger on his face, instead he said with a smile: "So, I need to trouble you all to follow me to the Blood Lake."
After speaking, the temple master stood up and walked out the door first.Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong and others got up and followed.
The temple master led them to the blood lake where the wolf monster Moon Devourer Xuandi was sealed, looked at the calm lake without a trace of light reflection, and said: "Under this blood lake is the place where Moon Devourer Xuandi is sealed, although I don’t know why you entered the Blood Lake, but if you are not sure, don’t go under the Blood Lake easily.”
Ling Yue nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder, but since we have promised that the temple master will find a way to get rid of the wolf demon, we must go inside to explore. I will do what I can, and the temple master doesn't have to worry."
"Then I don't worry about it." The priest bowed to several people, turned into white light and left.
Watching the temple master leave, Fang Lansheng immediately said: "Shaogong Shaogong, the old man is gone, where should we start looking now?"
"Lan Sheng, don't be rude, the temple master is a highly respected senior." Before Ouyang Shaogong could answer, Ling Yue rebuked.
Fang Lansheng curled his lips, very upset that Ling Yue reprimanded him by someone who seemed insignificant to him, so he shook his head and ran to Ouyang Shaogong's side, hugging his arm, and asked his question again.Seeing Fang Lansheng who was playing with a small temper, Ouyang Shaogong rubbed his hair helplessly, and said: "The second fragment only gave us a hint of the blood lake. I don't know if it is here, or if it is above or Below. There is the Moon Devouring Emperor Xuandi under the blood lake, which is more dangerous, so let's start looking from above."
However, having said that, Ouyang Shaogong also knew that the last fragment was not so easy to find. Like the first fragment, the reminder of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum was not given very early, but they still made a big circle from the underground world. I found it after I came back. Although the fate has not yet arrived, I don’t know what to go through to find this last piece. These experiences are like tests, which cannot be avoided at all. Before the test, even if it is within reach, it is still Every day.
"Okay! Then I'll be with Xiangling!" Fang Lansheng ran to Xiangling when Ouyang Shaogong finished speaking, grabbed her arm and said loudly, and skillfully ignored the look on Xiangling's face. Disgusted expression.
Ouyang Shaogong was noncommittal, Feng Qingxue thought for a while, then turned around and grabbed Yin Qianshang, "Then I'll be with Brother Qianshang, let's go find Dongmian."
"I'm in the same group as Shaogong." Baili Tusu said in a cold tone that could not be refuted.
Ling Yue looked calm, "I want to go down to the blood lake."
"Hey! This is not possible!" Yin Qianshang, who had no chance to speak, objected immediately, "Didn't you listen to the priest just now? If you are not sure, it is best not to go down. You have to go down alone, absolutely not!"
Ouyang Shaogong frowned disapprovingly, "We don't know the specific strength of Xuandi Moon Devourer yet, going down to investigate rashly will only bring unnecessary danger to ourselves, we should search here first, and then go down if there is no result. Bar."
"That's right, brother, let's go down after we've searched up there." Baili Tusu echoed.
However, Ling Yue did not listen to their persuasion, but said earnestly and resolutely: "It is precisely because we don't understand the situation below that I have to go down to explore first, at least to test the strength of Xuandi Moon Devourer, and to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Countermeasures. Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life, if I lose, I will leave as soon as possible."
"If it's for testing, it should be the most suitable for me to go down." Ouyang Shaogong said calmly, "My skill is higher than yours. Only when I meet the Moon Devouring Emperor can I test out its true strength to the maximum, and there will be no any danger."
The firmness on Ling Yue's face suddenly turned into silence.
So Ling Yue, who was rarely persuaded to cancel his decision, was persuaded by Ouyang Shaogong's simple words, if Fu Que were here, he didn't know how depressed he would be.
Not much gossip, a few people were divided into groups according to their preferences and then walked in different directions.
Blood Lake is a forbidden area of Tiezhuguan. From the outside, it looks like a huge cave. In the middle of the cave is a deep lake with no waves. People feel uneasy.Except for the treacherous blood lake, the walls of the cave have been artificially repaired to be very flat and smooth, with dozens of bright pearls emitting soft white light embedded in it. The originally dark cave is completely illuminated by these pearls so that you will not lose sight of your fingers. .There are still many small holes on the walls around the cave that lead to unknown destinations. Just now the master walked in a hurry and did not tell them where these holes lead, but it should not be a place that cannot be visited, otherwise the master would not remind them.And the focus of several people's search is these holes.
Ouyang Shaogong picked a hole closest to him, gestured to Baili Tusu, and the two walked in first.When the rest of the people saw this, they all followed suit and chose their targets and walked in.
72. View of the Iron Pillar ([-])
Walking into the hole that is about one person high, there is a long and slender corridor that can only allow two people to pass side by side. It is very cold and dark. The only light source is the candle in Ouyang Shaogong's hand that is so weak that it seems to be extinguished immediately.There is a layer of water on the floor under my feet, and I don't know how it came from. As soon as I step on it, I can feel the dampness, which makes people very uncomfortable.
As they walked forward, the corridor became wider and wider. After walking for a while, the two of them suddenly felt their eyes brighten, and their vision suddenly widened. It turned out that they had reached the end of the corridor, an empty stone room.There are two lotus-shaped candlesticks on the wall, on which are two golden candles that are as thick as a baby's arm. The light is very bright, illuminating the small stone room like daytime.But other than that, there's nothing here.
Ouyang Shaogong looked around and said: "You can see everything here at a glance, probably there won't be anything we want, let's go, let's go out."
"En." Baili Tusu nodded, followed in Ouyang Shaogong's footsteps and was about to leave here.
Suddenly, Ouyang Shaogong paused, turned around suddenly, and before Baili Tusu realized it, he slapped out a palm quickly, which happened to meet a handprint that was condensed like a solid body, and the spiritual power collided with each other Offset, the remaining strength spread to both sides, the floor and walls were shaken by this powerful aftermath, causing countless tiny cracks to appear.
"Who!" Ouyang Shaogong flicked his wide sleeves, his clear eyes flashed a sharp and cold color like a sword, and even his usually gentle and calm voice had a hint of coldness.
Baili Tusu's expression froze, and he saw that the space a few steps away from them suddenly distorted for a while, and then a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he saw his master, Ziyin, who had met once in the Qingyu altar. Xuan Xiao.
Ouyang Shaogong was taken aback, "Mr. Xuan Xiao, the elder holding the sword?"
Baili Tusu also showed a look of astonishment on his face, "Master, why is it you?"
Master Ziyin, that is, Murong Ziying, was not surprised when he saw Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu, but was more puzzled, "Tu Su, Shaogong, why did you come to Tiezhu Temple?"
Baili Tusu and Ouyang Shaogong looked at each other, and said softly: "The disciple and Shaogong... are here to solve the evil spirit on the disciple."
"I see, I thought..."
"Under the blood lake, is there something you need?" Before Murong Ziying finished speaking, Xuan Xiao asked, his cold and indifferent eyes fell directly on Ouyang Shaogong, appearing extremely focused.
"Yes." Ouyang Shaogong nodded, and replied without any hesitation, "Why did Mr. Xuan Xiao come here?"
In fact, Ouyang Shaogong has only met Xuan Xiao a few times, and the communication between the two is rare, but they can be regarded as close friends for a long time, but he has never seen him dressed so rigorously as if he was going to participate in some serious event The party is average.
He was dressed in a dark blue robe similar to a formal suit, and his black girdle outlined his slender and well-proportioned figure.The long black hair was tied high with a blue hair crown, and two long strands of hair crossed the temples and fell on the chest, revealing a trace of freedom in the rigor.A black strap is wrapped around the wrist, tightly depicting slender and strong lines. The strap is pressed with unknown lines with silver thread. The changing light is like flowing waterlines, and the lines on the neckline close to the neck Reflecting each other, the whole person exudes a low-key noble elegance.
"The purpose of my coming here is also under the blood lake, but it is not what you are looking for, don't worry." Xuan Xiao said coldly as if he had seen through Ouyang Shaogong's thoughts at a glance.
Ouyang Shaogong smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, we might as well go down together." Turning his gaze, he said: "What's more, the elder holding the sword and Tu Su also have something to say."
Murong Ziying raised the corners of her lips slightly, and cast a very veiled glance at Xuan Xiao, but the latter didn't speak, so Ouyang Shaogong took it for granted.
In fact, there was not much to look for in the forbidden area. It took Fang Lansheng and Lingyue less than two quarters of an hour to search all the places they could find. Neng resentfully walked back to the blood lake and stayed there, waiting for Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu to come and join them.
Not long after, the people who got a little impatient saw Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu walking out of a hole not far away side by side, followed by two people who should not have appeared here.
"Master!" Ling Yue exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.
……
Xuan Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and didn't know whether he was closing his eyes to rest his mind or meditating while adjusting his breath. Murong Ziying stood beside him, faintly showing a sense of protection.
Ouyang Shaogong stood still beside the blood lake, looking at the calm lake with deep eyes, the soft light emitted by the pearls on the wall outlined his delicate profile, but could not shine into his deep eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking, including Baili Tusu.At this time, Baili Tusu didn't have time to think about anything, because he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
I don't know why, since he walked into this forbidden area, the evil spirit that had been suppressed in his body suddenly started to move, as if he was given the power to resist control by something, and suddenly started a violent counterattack.If it weren't for Baili Tusu's amazing self-control and his experience in suppressing evil spirits, maybe he would be in the predicament of being backlashed by evil spirits three years ago.
But even so, Baili Tusu gradually felt a little powerless as the evil spirit counterattacked more and more intensely.His face was slightly pale, and suddenly he clutched his chest and groaned, a ray of red spread in his eyes.
Ouyang Shaogong, who had been thinking about other things, keenly caught Baili Tusu's deliberately suppressed muffled hum, pulled away from his thoughts, turned his head in confusion, just in time to see his pale face, and hurried away He went to hold his arm, "Tu Su, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know." Baili Tusu's words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, and Ouyang Shaogong could feel the tense arm muscles under his sleeves, as if he was trying to suppress something, "bad air... no Knowing why, I suddenly started to counterattack violently..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Baili Tusu knelt down on one knee as if he couldn't support himself, startling Ouyang Shaogong and others who were caught off guard.
Bright red evil spirit permeated from the body, wrapped around Baili Tusu, and a bright red vertical mark emerged from the center of his brow, dazzlingly bright.The black eyes have gradually been covered with dark red, which is exactly the same as when the evil spirit broke out in the past.
Ouyang Shaogong was taken aback, he put his hand on Baili Tusu's right wrist to feel the pulse, and found that the evil spirit that had calmed down somehow broke away from his suppression, ran around in his body, and began to erode his sanity.The counterattack of evil spirit came too suddenly, it caught Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu by surprise, and they both felt a little bit at a loss for a while.
Xuan Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced this way, a faint blue light subconsciously lit up in his hands, as if he would kill Baili Tusu immediately if he lost control .But soon, as if he remembered something, he dissipated the spiritual power that was gradually gathering in his hands.
"Tu Su!"
"Susu!"
"Wooden face!"
"Brother Tu Su!"
Murong Ziying and the others, who were a step behind, also ran to Baili Tusu's side quickly. Seeing that his face was ugly, and his spiritual power was also faintly churning, Ling Yue said seriously: "Tu Su, are you showing off your evil spirit again?"
Feng Qingxue was so anxious that she was about to cry, she wanted to help him but didn't know how to do it, "Susu, how are you? What's wrong with you? Haven't you been able to control the evil spirit in your body?"
Murong Ziying was the calmest among them. Although his eyes were flickering with worry, he said very calmly: "Tu Su, mobilize your spiritual power and suppress the evil spirit in your body as before."
Baili Tusu nodded, reluctantly sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to use his internal force to suppress the sudden counterattack of evil spirit.Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong groaned for a moment, then put his palm on his back, transforming spiritual power into water system and crossing into his body.As soon as the extremely docile and soft spiritual power entered his body, most of it was assimilated by his internal power, and the remaining small part joined the team to suppress the evil spirit.The evil spirit of burning silence belongs to fire, and the spiritual power of the water system has the greatest suppression effect on it. Ouyang Shaogong's attack greatly relieved Baili Tusu's pressure.
Seeing this, Fang Lansheng and others on the side stayed quietly, not daring to breathe too hard for fear of disturbing the two of them.Fortunately, although the evil spirit counterattack was very fierce, it was still suppressed by Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tu Susu.
