Chapter 224: Ruined Temple, Opened Road, and Left
But in the bright blue sky and clear sky, more than 20 corpses in Yanjia Village were all killed by a single sword. They died quickly. The ethnic group that once established an immortal dynasty on the land of Lingtianzhou was completely dissipated in the long river of history.
Of course, strictly speaking, it is not dissipated. After all, the mortals in Yanjia Village can also be regarded as descendants of the Great Yan Dynasty. It’s just that with the death of those cultivators, the glory of their immortal cultivation era was completely buried by these mountains.
It was fate that the group of seven met in this way, so they naturally traveled together for the rest of the journey.
Li Changxiao looked at Yan Shiliu with a teasing look, and asked him jokingly, what do you think of this trick he showed? Yan Shiliu recalled the previous chat, and suddenly he didn't know what to think.
The area was mountainous and difficult to walk through. Everyone was very curious about Li Changxiao but did not dare to ask. However, after walking for a few more days, everyone saw that the swordsman was the same as before without any change, so they gradually became friendly.
The swordsman was a little jealous but dared not say anything. He could see that if everyone was trapped here together, the two women would always choose the swordsman in white.
overnight.
Beside the campfire, the witch looked at Li Changxiao with a smile, and asked him half-jokingly and half-tentatively whether he couldn't get out of this haunted place either.
Li Changxiao nodded and told them without hiding anything that the terrain of the mountain was extremely dangerous.
When the spiritual energy has not yet been exhausted, it has a better-sounding name: the terrain of ten heavens and ten earths, also called "square heaven, earth and circle".
Being in this situation, the sky is square and the earth is round, like a huge cage that traps everything here.
This terrain is extremely special, as can be seen from the fact that even though the spiritual energy has been exhausted for four hundred years, it can still trap monks.
Even if you fly, you can't get out.
But there is something even more special about this terrain.
It is said that if anyone can break through this terrain, they will be able to gain some great benefits.
The practice of monks is about breaking through numerous obstacles and going against the will of heaven. Many monks like to regard some dangerous places and desperate places as a obstacle for themselves. If they can cross or conquer them, they will be unstoppable and their spirits will soar to the sky, which will help them break through the realm.
This is why, when many cultivators are about to break through, they always go to dangerous places or travel to look for opportunities for breakthrough.
The more difficult the obstacle is, the more benefits you will get, which may be: blessing, luck, momentum, fame... and so on. Don't underestimate these gains, they seem very abstract, not as real as spirit stones and magic. In fact, the benefits of these things can be seen at all times, just like worldly appearance. Superior appearance will not bring you wealth directly, but it is easier to gain favor and recognition than ordinary people... and so on. There are many benefits, and you will have many more conveniences invisibly.
Blessings, luck, momentum, reputation... and so on, also have similar effects. Although cultivators also look at appearance, they look more at "aura". Appearance is also considered a part of "aura". If a person has great luck and fame, the aura he presents will also be colorful, and he can gain a lot of conveniences when walking in the world of cultivation.
There is a dangerous place in Lingtianzhou where Li Changxiao had been before, called "Hengduanyuan". There he acquired the Hundred Ghost Techniques and subdued the ghost servant Yu Luosha.
The Hengduan Abyss was once regarded as a strategic location by many physical cultivators and was extremely popular among them. The same is true here.
According to legend, if someone breaks through this "square world and circle", he will receive a blessing that will accompany him throughout his life. It is extremely mysterious and can increase his lifespan and luck, and can also directly increase his strength.
Of course, Li Changxiao did not tell them these things about cultivation, as they would not understand even if he did. He just told them that it would be difficult to get out of this world by walking alone.
Upon hearing this, the faces of several people darkened. The thin old Taoist asked Li Changxiao if there was any way to get out. He called Li Changxiao "senior". In fact, considering his age, there was no problem in calling Li Changxiao "senior". It was just that Li Changxiao did not like this title, so he asked them to call him by his name.
Li Changxiao told the old Taoist priest that he had no solution at the moment and was still thinking about it, otherwise he would have left long ago.
That night, everyone had a simple meal and set out on their journey at noon the next day. When they reached a flat grassland, Cai Wei came to him to ask for advice on swordsmanship. With shyness on her face, Li Changxiao refused. He really didn't have any earthly martial arts to teach her.
As for matters of cultivation, that was even more impossible to teach. Cai Wei, who was rejected, blushed and ran several miles away. On the way, she was seen by the magician, who teased her and her face immediately became even redder.
The few people were not stupid. They knew at a glance that the swordsman in white was not an ordinary person. Asking him for advice on swordsmanship was totally inappropriate as they were not specialized in the field.
How could Cai Wei not know? She just admired him and was looking for an excuse to get close to him. The magician discovered that since Li Changxiao returned to deal with them, the only two women had become more reserved.
Although he often jokes, he also understands that it is just human nature. He just feels dazed sometimes. People from the outside world would never imagine that the famous swordsman who is the best male swordsman in the world would behave like this here.
Walk for a few more days.
As the exit was hard to find, the skinny old Taoist priest gave up completely.
Li Changxiao sighed leisurely.
There was no point in just wasting time like this. If he couldn't find a way out, he could only resort to a stupid method.
That night.
The group of seven people stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple. The dilapidated temple was located between two mountains, dark and damp. The mountains and trees on both sides filtered out the moonlight layer by layer, leaving only a few pitiful rays falling into the temple.
The gray walls were covered with moss, and it was impossible to tell how many years had passed. The statues in the temple had collapsed, weeds were everywhere, and there was a den of foxes in the corner.
Everyone entered the temple, pulled out the weeds and cleared out a piece of open space, which would be the place to rest tonight.
Li Changxiao asked the thin old Taoist priest to tell him his fortune and tell him which direction would be more auspicious.
A thin old Taoist fortune teller said that walking in the northwest direction was the most auspicious.
Hearing this, Li Changxiao dozed off and fell into a deep sleep.
The eyelids of several people were heavy. They were very tired after traveling for a whole day. They chatted for a while and gradually fell asleep.
Sleeping deeply.
To be honest, ever since the white-robed swordsman rejoined the team, the spirits of several people have obviously improved a lot, and their brows have gradually relaxed.
In fact, the few of them just had a tacit understanding and were ready to be "savages" in the deep mountains and forests.
It seems so.
The outside world's reputation and past achievements seem to have turned into floating clouds.
Yan Shiliu had a dream in his sleep.
In the dream, it seemed as if someone told him to show him one last trick.
……
I don’t know how long I slept.
A ray of sunlight shines into the ruined temple.
Yan Shiliu stretched lazily.
Frowning slightly.
Feeling the sunlight was too glaring, I pressed my hands against my eyes and squinted them slightly.
"The weather is really nice today."
He murmured subconsciously, and his mood became brighter.
In this deep mountain forest, the trees are tall and it is usually difficult to see the sunlight.
Moreover, this dilapidated temple is located between two mountains.
Cold and damp.
It can be seen how precious this ray of sunlight is that can shine into this place.
He stood up and brushed off the dust on his body. At the same time, several other people began to wake up one after another.
"I haven't seen such bright sunshine for a long time." said the magician in surprise.
The thin old Taoist nodded, and suddenly, as if he realized something, he took out the compass from the cloth bag behind him.
His face suddenly lit up with joy, and then he thought it was presbyopia. He rubbed his eyes up and down, then looked carefully.
Incredible.
At this time.
Cai Wei looked at the place where Li Changxiao fell asleep.
Empty.
There is a row of footprints on the ground leading outside the temple.
She followed the footprints and walked out of the ruined temple.
Suddenly, a burst of dazzling sunlight made it impossible for her to open her eyes.
Wait until she sees the scene clearly.
I couldn't close my mouth for a moment.
