23, Chapter 23
Yunhai thought Changming would get angry.
At the very least, he was sarcastic and ignored.
After all, if you throw someone in front of Zhang Mu, you are asking him to die in vain.
If Chang Ming had gone slightly wrong, I'm afraid what he would see now would be a corpse.
Maybe you won't even see the body.
Because Qixinghe has been completely destroyed due to the broken barrier.
Jiuchongyuan lost the first layer of abyss.
Although he didn't expect him to survive, Yunhai found that he was in a good mood.
At the very least, Chang Ming had better not die before he had thoroughly understood this person and lost interest in him.
Yunhai was a little happy, her steps were brisk, and her smile became even happier.
"Fellow Taoist Changming, don't be shy. If you feel happy when you see me, you might as well say it."
Even a demon cultivator like Xu Jingxian, who was cold-blooded and unscrupulous, felt that Yunhai might not be normal.
For ordinary lunatics, you can beat them up if you don't like them, you can kill them, and just keep them out of sight.
The best way to deal with unfathomable lunatics is to stay away, the further away the better.
She coveted the beauty of Yunhai, but she knew that she could not cope with such a madman, so she gradually gave up her thoughts. Not to mention dual cultivation, even the idea of chunxiao was completely gone.
But the other party comes to her door, so she can't chase them away, right?
"I am indeed happy, thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning." Chang Ming really answered.
With a tired look and a lazy posture, he unconsciously reached out to touch his heart. It must have hurt a little. His lips turned a little whiter, but his face was still calm and unconcerned.
It's not that I'm pretending to be indifferent, it's that patience has become a habit, and I don't take these pains to heart.
If a person is so determined that he ignores his own pain, then he must have experienced many pains that are more painful than this. Compared with those, the current situation is comfortable.
And such a person should be standing at the top of the world, not wandering to the ends of the earth.
Yunhai saw this and became more interested in him.
"Fellow Daoist Changming has lost weight."
"That must be because he was busy escaping from death after being framed by fellow Taoist Yun." Chang Ming said.
Yunhai laughed and sat cross-legged next to him.
"Then Yun is here to apologize!"
Chang Ming: "I'm afraid that Fellow Taoist Yun will have another whim and think of some idea to trick me. If you apologize, I will be half dead."
Yun Hai smiled slightly as his eyes fell on the glazed gold bead staff on his knees.
"Fellow Taoist Changming, you can't say that you have gained nothing at all, right? And I also have good intentions. So many people have gathered at the Seven Stars Terrace. Have you found the old friend you want to see?"
Chang Ming: "I saw me from the beginning, but for some reason, he didn't remember me."
Yun Hai: "There are so many people with similar looks in the world, you must have mistaken the person."
Chang Ming: "I believe in my eyes."
Yunhai spread his hands: "It seems that fellow Taoist Changming is very stubborn."
Chang Ming: "How did you know that Zhang Mu had a problem?"
Yunhai smiled mysteriously: "Do you believe a saying? The same kind will always be more sensitive to the smell of the same kind."
Xu Jingxian seemed to understand the conversation between the two of them, which was like a confrontation, but when she heard the last sentence and thought about Zhang Mu's true face, she couldn't help but change her color with horror.
Chang Ming's face remained as usual, and Yun Hai was also calm and collected, as if the person who said these words was not him.
"Fellow Daoist Yun doesn't seem to have come in from outside like us, it seems like he has been staying here all the time."
"I also came in from outside, but it was earlier than you."
Looking up at the sky from the sea of clouds, my eyes are filled with bright stars.
For the monks who come in from the outside, everything in Jiuchongyuan is new, strange, and endless.
But for him, even a strange sight like the Rainbow Bridge and the sea of clouds have become accustomed to it.
Xu Jingxian's heart moved: "Have you ever heard of Raising True Grass, Fellow Taoist Yun?"
Yunhai shook his head and asked strangely: "What is that? A kind of herbal medicine?"
Xu Jingxian turned around and stared at Changming, saying word by word: "You lied to me?"
Changming Old God is here: "He doesn't know, it doesn't necessarily mean that I don't know. How many people in the world can be as knowledgeable and talented as me?"
Yunhai actually nodded in agreement: "Fellow Taoist Changming is indeed rich in knowledge."
Xu Jingxian:......
She gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that the other party was determined that she could not kill him in the Nine Layers Abyss.
"However," Yunhai changed the topic, "The Eighth Abyss Tianchui Waterfall is the only place in the Nine Abyss that is full of exotic flowers and plants. There are many flowers and plants that even I can't name, and they all have their own magic.
Wherever you go, there might be the real grass you’re looking for.”
Xu Jingxian raised her eyebrows: "Fellow Daoist Yun has even been to the eighth abyss?"
Yunhai smiled: "I heard it from hearsay."
Xu Jingxian was speechless.
Changming suddenly said: "What about the ninth abyss?"
Yunhai shook his head: "I have never set foot in it, so I know nothing."
His answer was not thorough, and there were many loopholes if you think about it carefully, but since he refused to say it, there was really nothing Chang Ming could do against him.
Now they haven't even figured out the second abyss, and the eighth abyss is far away, so Xu Jingxian felt a little desperate for a moment.
When she really leaves Jiuchongyuan, it won't be like "a day in the mountains, a thousand years have passed in the world", right? Her position as the leader of Lingbo Peak, which she won through so much hard work, won't be robbed by others, right?
She was so upset that she even lost the desire to talk.
Chen Ting and others just came back.
Several people looked heavy and frowned.
Others knew that Xu Jingxian came from the Jianxue Sect, but they refused to take the initiative to talk to him. Only Chen Ting came over.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, are you here too?" He was a little surprised, as it was clear that Yun Hai was nowhere to be seen.
The sea of clouds smiled and said nothing.
Except when facing Chang Ming and Xu Jingxian, he is somewhat arrogant towards others.
In other words, he only has some superfluous interest in Chang Ming, and is a bit boring to everyone else.
Chen Ting didn't pay attention to him either.
"Some fellow Taoists, the situation is not good."
Chen Ting, He Qingmo and others originally wanted to understand the terrain here.
Unexpectedly, they found Wei Yichong's body under the bridge.
Wei Yichong obviously jumped from the bridge into Jinghu Lake, but his body was leaning under a tree beside the bridge.
His hands and feet were broken, his limbs were twisted, his face was hideous, and he died with his eyes closed.
It was like seeing a strange and terrifying thing that I had never seen in my life before I died. Even my mouth was still slightly open, but the sword I carried with me was missing.
A sword cultivator died in such a tragic way even though he had lost his weapon despite his sword. Chen Ting and others found it unbelievable. They searched around but could not find any clues about his Taoist relationship.
Xia Shang even burst into tears. Who would have thought that a quarrel would lead to an eternal separation between heaven and earth.
Under the bridge, there are scattered vegetation and sparse flowers and trees. No matter how you look at it, no one can detect any danger.
However, no matter how far Chen Ting and the others go or where they go, they will eventually find themselves back at the Rainbow Bridge.
They seem to be trapped in an invisible and intangible bottle, and they can never get out.
"We didn't find anyone else, nor did we see Xu Fenglin. He may have gone to the third abyss, so there should be an exit here." Chen Ting said.
Wei Yichong had already eliminated one of the options for them at the risk of his own life. This exit was definitely not possible by jumping off the bridge.
Xu Jingxian: “What are Daoyou Chen’s plans?”
Chen Ting glanced at He Qingmo and said, "Let Taoist friend He do the talking."
He Qingmo was reluctant to deal with demonic cultivators and witches, but including Chen Ting, there were only five of them in total. If they wanted to implement the plan, they would have to add Xu Jingxian.
"I'm going to set up a Bagua formation. If everything goes well, everyone can leave here. Currently, among the eight hexagrams, three of them, Zhen Xunli, are unguarded. I need three of them to help me."
Chang Ming and others were all sitting cross-legged, but He Qingmo was the only one standing, which made him feel somewhat condescending.
But when he saw several people looking up at him while talking, he refused to kneel down and sit down.
Xu Jingxian smiled sweetly: "Fellow Daoist He, you have to tell us what the Bagua array is for, right?"
He Qingmo frowned slightly: "You may not understand even after I say it, as long as you know that I won't harm you."
Xu Jingxian was still smiling, but the smile was gone from her eyes.
"How do you know we don't understand if you don't tell us?"
Chen Ting smoothed things over.
"Everyone, be patient. Fellow Taoist He just said something to me. Let me explain. He thinks that since the Seven Stars River itself is a formation, then the Rainbow Bridge should be too. Since it is a formation, there will be formation eyes and
The method of breaking the formation, since it is a formation, can be changed in many ways and does not deviate from its origin. It is better to break it according to the simplest Bagua formation. Eight people guard eight directions. As long as one of them finds the eye of the formation and informs the others, they can join forces.
He stepped forward to attack and break it. Fellow Daoist He said that he himself was guarding the Kun position of the Death Gate, and the other seven of us were each guarding one. I wonder what the three of them thought?"
Xu Jingxian raised her beautiful eyes slightly: "Then why do we believe that he will not deliberately leave dangerous places for us, and then step on us to leave here?"
Before He Qingmo could speak, the Taoist beside him spoke first.
"You witch, you don't know what is good or bad. Senior Brother He is the best at setting up and breaking formations in the Shenxiao Immortal Mansion. The last time we went to Qianxiu Tower to pay him a huge sum of money to set up formations, he didn't even go. If there weren't only eight people here now, he wouldn't have done it.
No need to find you!"
Xu Jingxian chuckled: "I am a witch, what are you who cooperate with a witch, are you a witch?"
Chen Ting wanted to laugh, but he held it back, but Yunhai beside him was so disrespectful that he burst out laughing.
"you!"
The Taoist rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight, but was held down by He Qingmo.
"I just saw it. The shadow of the bridge that should be reflected on the bridge and Jinghu Lake is exactly two and a half bridges forming a circle. If the circle is not broken, everyone will be trapped here forever, and there will be no benefit to you either.
The benefits, please think about it carefully and don’t act on impulse!”
He Qingmo was speaking the truth, but his expression was still arrogant, and he refused to soften his posture at all.
Xu Jingxian liked the way these famous sects looked down on the witches but still came to ask for cooperation when something happened.
“So what if we act on impulse?”
Junior brother He Qingmo said first, "Then we have no choice but to throw you down!"
He was afraid that others would stop him, so as soon as he finished speaking, he took action, drew his sword out of its sheath, and stabbed Xu Jingxian, intending to teach this witch a lesson.
The long sword held the sword energy and moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it reached the tip of Xu Jingxian's nose. Unexpectedly, a white light appeared between the sword and the person. When the disciple of the Shenxiao Immortal Mansion took a closer look, the white light turned out to be a leaf.
He quickly took a few steps back, but Ye Ye was still chasing after him, wiping the blade of the sword and heading towards his face.
Xu Jingxian's laughter sounded in my ears.
She is indeed a witch!
The disciple gritted his teeth and flicked out the sword light with his backhand, hitting the leaves. The leaves split into five and turned into five streaks of ice, breaking through his sword energy and coming straight out.
He was so shocked that he finally realized how powerful it was. At this time, He Qingmo couldn't stand it anymore and took action directly, knocking down all five strands of ice with a flick of his sleeves.
“Enough is enough!”
Xu Jingxian smiled and said: "I won't take action. If I do, there will be blood. Our Minglang is kind and doesn't want me to take your junior brother's life. He just helped me teach him a lesson. Are you still ungrateful?"
Changming coughed twice: "Fairy is very fickle. She said before that I don't look like a man, but now she starts calling me Minglang again."
Xu Jingxian turned around: "Shut up!"
The face of the disciple who tried to teach someone a lesson failed but was taught a lesson instead. It was so wonderful.
Chen Ting hurriedly stopped among several people, fearing that they would clash again.
In his opinion, these people in Shenxiao Immortal Mansion are really difficult to get along with because they have high eyesight. If He Qingmo didn't have some skills, he wouldn't be too lazy to be the peacemaker, but now he has to cooperate if he wants to go out.
Chang Ming said: "Friend Daoist He's plan sounds fine, but how do you ensure that the eight of us can still rush to our aid at any time when we are far apart? Once someone finds the formation's center or exit, how do you notify others?"
He Qingmo put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I will put some cinnabar specially made by my master on you. Once one of you encounters fatal danger or finds the center of the formation, wipe off the cinnabar immediately. Others will have a reaction until they are pulled.
I’ll find you down there.”
Yun Hai smiled: "It's really a very clever method, I have no objection."
Chang Ming glanced at him and felt that there was something more to what he said.
"If Fellow Daoist He is confident, we will naturally be willing to cooperate." He also said.
Now Xu Jingxian became a loner. She cursed Chang Ming secretly and smiled as brightly as a flower.
"Since my companions have agreed, I will naturally advance and retreat with them. But since the direction of the rainbow bridge is unclear, how can Fellow Daoist He determine the direction of the eight of us?"
He Qingmo took out a white pen from his sleeve, with a bright red tip, as if stained with cinnabar.
He drew in the air, and a circle appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Don't worry about where the formation eye is here, because we don't know anything about it, so the position in the middle of the Rainbow Bridge is one of the directions. Assuming it is the dry position, then it corresponds to the opposite side under the bridge.
That point is the Kun position of Death Gate."
Xu Jingxian: "What do you mean, do you still want someone to jump down to guard the death gate? Don't forget how that person died just now."
He Qingmo said coldly: "Wei Yichong didn't jump from the middle of the bridge just now. Since it's a formation, we have to pay attention to the position. If there is a slight mistake, it will be a thousand miles away. You don't have to worry, I will guard the Kun position, wait.
I will be the first to jump off the bridge in a moment, and my junior brothers will also take care of the other two positions under the bridge. You just need to guard the other three positions."
Chang Ming looked at the expressions of the other two people traveling with him and thought that your junior brothers might not be so willing to risk their lives to try your method.
He Qingmo pointed out all the directions to everyone, and used a pen to put a cinnabar on each of their forearms.
When it was Yunhai's turn, the opponent didn't move.
He Qingmo looked at him.
The sea of clouds reveals the back of the hand.
He Qingmo: "Pull up your sleeves higher and focus on the Shaohai point for the best effect."
Yunhai: "I am shy by nature and don't like to expose my body in front of people I don't know."
He Qingmo:......
His junior brother wanted to taunt him, but when he caught Yun Hai's line of sight, he unconsciously shrank back.
In the end, He Qingmo had no choice but to tap a little on the back of Yunhai's hand, which was better than nothing.
Guan Xiachang timidly said: "Brother Chen Dao, can I exchange with you and stay at the living gate?"
He Qingmo said coldly: "As I said just now, the Sheng Gate may not be the real Sheng Gate. It is just the position I assumed in order to set up the formation. It may also be the only way to die. Have you thought about it?"
Guan Xiashang had tears in her eyes and said nothing.
Now that I am trapped here, no one is in the mood to pity her, not to mention that monks are stronger than ordinary people in resisting temptation.
Seeing her like this, He Qingmo thought of Wei Yichong's death and felt it was annoying. He didn't bother to look at her again, and took out eight exquisite and exquisite sleeve arrows from his sleeve.
"I will throw these eight arrows in eight directions to facilitate your actions."
He took off the bow on his back, summoned the flying sword, suspended it in the middle of the Rainbow Bridge, shot seven of the arrows in seven directions, and then shot the last arrow in the middle of the Rainbow Bridge, standing in the sky
.
"I'll take the first step and hope you won't make any mistakes."
He took one look at everyone and decided to jump off the middle of the bridge first.
But his two junior brothers hesitated.
Xu Jingxian said deliberately: "Are you going to regret it and let your senior brother die in vain?"
One of them, the one who had made a move just now, glared at her fiercely, walked to his position, hesitated for a moment, and jumped neatly.
The other person actually backed down.
"Before we went out, Master lit a soul lantern for each of us, and each soul lantern was tied with a red thread. If senior brother has any news that he wants to convey, I can also notice it. You might as well wait a little longer. Maybe senior brother will be there soon.
We’ve found the formation’s eye.”
He made excuses and reasons for himself. No matter how much Xu Jingxian provoked him, he refused to jump anymore.
Chen Ting had no choice but to say: "Then you and I can switch, and I'll go."
"Wait a minute."
Chang Ming suddenly said, "Look!"
The scenery of the lake changed again.
The blue sky and white clouds disappeared, replaced by boiling flames and a sea of fire.
Even though I knew this was just an illusion, I still felt a burning sensation coming from the purgatory-like scene in front of me.
Guan Xia Shang even took two steps back unconsciously, showing timidity on her face.
At this time, He Qingmo, that junior fellow student, refused to jump any further.
Yunhai suddenly smiled.
“Do you have the guts, fellow Daoist Changming, to take a trip?”
Chang Ming: "Do you mean, fellow Taoist Yun, that you want me to go with you?"
"There are so many wonderful things in this Mirror Lake. I have long wanted to find out what it is all about. What fellow Taoist He is thinking coincides with mine. What if I go there in person?" Yun Hai said, "Don't forget our bet.
, you lost last time, Sad Tree not only could not survive for three days, but also died so quickly, I am willing to admit defeat, you owe me a thing for not doing anything, now I want you to accompany me down."
After saying that, he reached out to catch Chang Ming without waiting for Chang Ming or others to react!
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Jingxian reacted very quickly and went to arrest Chang Ming.
But her movements were still half a step too slow. Yunhai had already grabbed Changming's arm and dragged them together into the sea of fire under the bridge.
Everyone was stunned.
Wei Yichong's death was still in front of his eyes. Even He Qingmo's junior brothers couldn't believe the certainty of victory in his plan. These two people actually jumped?!
Chapter completed!
