Chapter 203 Trapped and Frightened
Just now in the Qingniu Hall, the two of them were in a panic and didn't pick up many things. Most of the relics were destroyed by the small furnace's mutation. However, when Zhang Feng first picked up the relics, he was more careful. Other magic weapons, elixirs and other things were just picked up casually, but he picked up all the dozen cylindrical jade slips.
Bixueqing was just the opposite. She had no interest in jade slips and books, and all she picked up were jade boxes and vases. Wu Yan took her storage bag, glanced at it, and returned it to her. Bixueqing was surprised when she saw Wu Yan returned the storage bag to her after just one glance. After taking it, she looked at Wu Yan in confusion.
Wu Yan smiled and didn't say much. He just took out all the cylindrical jade slips in Zhang Feng's storage bag, glanced at them with his spiritual consciousness, and then took out three of the jade slips. He took it out, then put the rest into Zhang Feng's storage bag. He smiled and said to the two of them: "Second brother, sister Qing'er, this time the three of us have entered the cave of our predecessors. So, Of all the things I got, these three jade slips are of some use to me. If you are selfish, I will take these three jade slips. What do you think?"
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Brother, who do you think I am?"
Wu Yan said in astonishment: "Why, second brother, do you have any objections?"
"Opinion? Yes, I have an opinion. It's a big objection! Brother, when I got these jade slips, I checked them all. There are thirteen jade slips in total, ten of which are the exercises left by Master Qingniu. Secret book, the other three jade slips are simply some illusory records of the so-called experiences recorded by Master Qing Niu. The three jade slips that the elder brother took just now are all records of the experiences, and you did not take any of the jade slips of the exercises. What do you mean? Do you think that I am a greedy person who is greedy for profit?" Zhang Feng became more and more excited as he spoke. He threw the storage bag to the ground with a look of grievance and yelled, "If that's the case, brother, then this Qingniu I simply don’t want this leftover treasure!”
Wu Yan rubbed his nose depressedly and thought to himself, why is this second brother getting more and more angry? However, he is a good boy, he is loyal and lovable.
Bixueqing was originally confused by the incomprehensible words of the two people, and looked at them worriedly. Then she thought about it, laughed, and said: "Brother Wu, Brother Feng, what are you doing? Since you are sworn brothers of life and death, is there anything you can't discuss? Brother Feng, it's true. Brother Wu is the eldest brother after all. How can you talk to the eldest brother like this? , maybe it will be of great use to the elder brother? Besides, shouldn’t the younger brother listen to the elder brother?”
Zhang Feng was speechless by Bixueqing, but his eyes widened, as if he was very angry at being spoken to like this.
When Wu Yan saw that Zhang Feng looked wrong, he knew something was wrong. He quickly laughed and tried to persuade him: "Okay, okay, look at you two, what are you doing? Let's do this, second brother, those elixir materials and the like It doesn’t make any difference whether you want it or not. To be honest, I don’t lack these things. I will take four of the other ten jade slips, and you and Sister Qing’er will share the remaining six.”
"Brother, I know you want to take care of my little brother, but..." Zhang Feng wanted to say something else. Wu Yan couldn't help but pick up the storage bag on the ground, and grabbed four jade slips, along with the three things he had just seen. Lu Yujian put them into his storage bag together, then slapped Zhang Feng's storage bag into his hand, and said: "Okay, don't say anything. The rest is yours, anyway, you basically No matter how we divide our love, it’s all your business.”
Zhang Feng put away the storage bag dumbfounded, while Bi Xueqing said coquettishly: "Brother Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? Who and this piece of wood are indistinguishable from each other!"
The three laughed for a while, the misunderstanding was eliminated, and the two brothers only felt that their friendship with each other became deeper. Wu Yan frowned and said: "I originally expected that among the treasures left by Master Qingniu, there would be some secret records on jade slips related to the illusory Dead Sea Array, but I didn't expect that Master Qingniu didn't leave any clues. This We want to go out next time, but I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome. I hope there are really capable people among those people who can break this magic circle."
"Brother, when we came in, I seemed to remember that you were holding a token that emits red light. Since that token can send us in, can't it also send us out?" Zhang Feng asked strangely.
Wu Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I tried it just now. Probably because the first level of illusion magic circle was destroyed, this pass token has become invalid."
The three of them looked at each other in silence, silently looking at the sudden cliff on the other side. Bi Xueqing suddenly said: "Brother, my little sister saw that the water is blue and clear, and it seems to be no different from the sea. Can't we use a boat or other magic weapon to cross it?"
"Silly girl, this water is not real water, it's just an illusion. Besides, if this method is feasible, do you think those people will still be helpless and think of ways to break the formation?" Wu Yan shook his head with a wry smile. , and then pointed at the two groups of people busy on the cliff on the other side.
"Will we be trapped and die here?" Bi Xueqing looked at Wu Yan and Zhang Feng melancholy with her watery eyes open.
Zhang Feng looked at her, then at Wu Yan, and shook his head. Wu Yan smiled and said: "Silly girl, don't think too much. How could we be trapped and die here? Don't worry, the eldest brother will definitely be able to think of a way out. Okay, let's find a place to rest first. I just did a good job. , the spiritual consciousness is damaged, and the mana is also greatly depleted, and it takes a period of meditation to recover. "
The three searched around the island and found that it was all illusions. Although they could stand and walk, once they sat down, they would immediately feel that their magic power would be lost unconsciously, and even their consciousness would be lost. It seemed that this ground was connected to the illusionary Dead Sea. Although the consumption was not as severe as that in the Dead Sea, there was also such invisible consumption.
I think that the Xianjian Sect disciple surnamed Zhao must have died because he accidentally broke into the illusion magic circle and fell into the Dead Sea. His mana and soul consciousness were exhausted. Otherwise, his expression before death would not be so strange.
There was one thing Wu Yan did not tell Zhang Feng and Bi Xueqing. When he found the body of Zhao just now, Wu Yan tried to split a trace of consciousness and tried to attach it to the body of Zhao to check the cause of his death. What Wu Yan didn't expect was that although this move was extremely dangerous, because that trace of consciousness had been devoured mercilessly by the Dead Sea, he accidentally figured out a little bit of the characteristics of this phantom Dead Sea.
This phantom Dead Sea magic array can quickly devour the mana and consciousness of the cultivator. If Zhao hadn't struggled hard, constantly used his mana to leave this water area, and released his consciousness to check the surrounding environment, he wouldn't have died so quickly. As long as his soul can hold on to the sea of consciousness and Dantian, although he is in the phantom Dead Sea, his mana and consciousness will still be quietly lost and consumed, but it won't kill him. Following the tide of the phantom Dead Sea, he might even be sent to this small island by the power of the water flow before his mana and consciousness are exhausted, and then save his life.
Wu Yan thought to himself that if he made good use of this feature, he might be able to leave this place. However, this move was too dangerous. The island is at least three hundred feet away from the cliff on the other side. With the speed at which the Dead Sea devours mana and consciousness, I am afraid that before I can drift to the other side, my life will have been lost in the Dead Sea.
Before he was sure, Wu Yan did not tell Zhang Feng and Bi Xueqing about this matter. He just solemnly told them not to get close to the waters of the phantom Dead Sea.
The three of them returned to the top of the mountain. The Qingniu Palace had become a ruin. Zhang Feng and Bi Xueqing found a clean place and snuggled up to each other to talk privately. Bi Xueqing was amused and laughed from time to time. It seemed that she had forgotten the fear just now. Seeing this, Wu Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He found a secluded place, sat cross-legged, took out the healing pill from the storage bag, swallowed it, and began to practice.
The "slashing thoughts" were so harmful to his own soul that Wu Yan had been suppressing it just now, fearing that it would cause panic among Zhang Feng and Bi Xueqing after being exposed. On this small island, the lives of the three depended on each other. As the eldest brother, he had the responsibility to shoulder the responsibility of saving the lives of the three. He would try to avoid and stop any action that might cause panic, even if he had to endure the severe pain of his soul injury.
However, how could a damaged soul be so easily restored? If Wu Yan had not practiced the two extremely rare techniques of cultivating and strengthening the spirit in the world of immortal cultivation, such as the God Cultivation Technique and the God Splitting Technique, he would have suffered a mental breakdown due to the damage to his soul, and would have been close to going crazy.
Wu Yan endured the great mental pain that was about to drive him crazy, and used the God Cultivation Technique to restore his damaged soul over and over again. The mana in his dantian began to automatically recover and operate as he swallowed the Qi-boosting pill and the healing pill.
At the late stage of foundation building, the operation of the mana in the dantian has become an instinct, and there is no need for deliberate guidance. As long as the medicinal power is dispersed, it can be absorbed and operated automatically.
Wu Yan's meditation lasted for three days and three nights. During this period, Zhang Feng and Bi Xueqing had come to visit him several times. However, seeing that Wu Yan looked normal and was meditating, they did not disturb him and left quietly.
Wu Yan's seemingly unconcerned and arrogant behavior was not really arrogant, but he was full of confidence in the illusion array in the cave of Qingniu Zhenren. He did not believe that the two groups of people were so powerful that they could break the second-level illusion array in a short time.
That day, Wu Yan slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly, and seemed to be in a much better mood. This was indeed the case. After three days and three nights of meditation, his magic power and physical injuries had been fully recovered. Now the only flaw is that the damage to the Yuanshen cannot be repaired overnight. However, the good news is that this cultivation technique is really powerful. It has repaired some of the damage in three days. As long as he continues to practice in seclusion for several months according to the cultivation technique, Wu Yan believes that the damaged Yuanshen consciousness has great hope of being fully restored.
"Little monk, as far as I know, there is a kind of elixir called 'Soul-Replenishing Pill' in the collection of Qingniu Zhenren. You can take it. I guarantee that your soul will recover in half a day." Suddenly, an extremely abrupt voice sounded in Wu Yan's heart. Wu Yan was shocked and suddenly sacrificed the Mo Lin sword and shouted, "Who is it? Come out!"
