Cheng Songting just took the opportunity to show his kindness, but he was slapped in the face so mercilessly by someone. He who always valued face suddenly turned extremely ugly. The wind hammer appeared in his hand instantly. Qin Yue also snorted coldly, and his whole body was covered with blood.
Light pervades.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight if they disagreed, the expressions of all the fellow disciples around them changed, and they quickly stepped forward to dissuade them. Now is not the time to act recklessly. A real fight would be too much to gain.
"We don't know what kind of danger we will encounter next, so it's better for the two fellow Taoists to save some energy." Mo Juren also gave appropriate advice. It was not out of kindness. After all, it was in his interest for both parties to suffer losses.
However, considering that we may encounter similar situations on the first level in the future, we still need to work together.
Cheng Songting didn't really want to take action, but as the leader of a faction, he was so humiliated. How could he not react? Qin Yue was in a similar situation.
Now that there is a step, both parties will follow the trend, but their faces are a little ugly.
A small incident did not affect the main business. After everyone cleaned up, they started their exploration journey again.
The stairs leading to the second floor are at the edge of the first floor hall. There are no obstacles such as restrictions, and it is easy to step onto the second floor.
However, the moment everyone entered, they were all stunned by the scene they saw.
Unlike the first floor, which has strict protective formations, the second floor is completely empty, with no formations, treasures, etc.
The only special thing is the surrounding walls, which are painted with a large number of murals, but the content is a bit unsightly. They are all scenes of sexual intercourse between men and women.
The boldness of the painting style is beyond imagination. Mo Juren asked himself about his life, and his knowledge in some aspects is not low, but he still feels "admiration".
There were only three women present, Wang Ying and Wang Ying. When they saw the mural, their faces turned red and they all lowered their heads, not daring to continue watching.
The male monks didn't care, they looked at them with great interest.
Of course, looking back, we have not forgotten the business. We came here to hunt for treasures, and we originally had the idea of harvesting again, but this turned out to be the case.
In desperation, everyone could only continue going up. Unexpectedly, the content of the murals on the third, fourth, fifth, and up to the eighth floor were similar, but there was no difference at all.
Now everyone was completely dumbfounded. For such a big pagoda, could it be that the few things on the first floor were all the harvest? It would be too shabby, right?
The ninth floor!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the stairs at the edge, and they walked forward without hesitation.
Different from before, this time it was blocked. There was a gray light at the entrance of the stairs, which seemed to be some kind of barrier.
"Let me try!" Qin Yue took the lead and took a step forward. A flash of blood flashed as he waved his arm, instantly opening a gap in the barrier.
So easy! His eyes suddenly lit up with joy, and he stepped directly into it without any hesitation. The Corpse Jade Sect monk behind him naturally did not delay and followed closely.
The rest of the people were not slow either. There was probably a valuable treasure on the ninth floor, but they couldn't be snatched away by the former. On the Kamikaze Island side, Mo Juren all entered one after another.
However, after climbing the stairs, everyone's expressions became ugly. Just like before, there was nothing except the empty hall and filthy murals.
"Look! There are stairs there!" But at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed and pointed at the location as a reminder.
"This!" Everyone turned their heads subconsciously, and then they were all stunned. Haven't they already reached the ninth floor? What's the matter with the stairs? Is there a tenth floor, or does it lead to the outside of the pagoda?
"That's wrong!" Qin Yue seemed to have discovered something and said suddenly,
"Look at those murals, do they look familiar?"
Of course they were familiar with the mural, especially when they entered the second floor. Everyone was curious and observed it for a long time. They were specifically reminded at this time, and when they looked at it again, they quickly noticed something unusual.
The murals here are exactly the same as those on the second floor.
What's going on? Could it be?
An idea suddenly appeared in the minds of many people. Could it be that everyone has returned to the second level?
Isn’t it possible? I didn’t feel like I was being teleported just now?
"No matter what the situation is, just go and see and you'll find out." Mo Juren reminded, and then he took the three women behind him and headed straight for the stairs.
Everyone’s consciousness has been severely suppressed, and there is really no other better way to investigate now, so we can only go through it again.
After a while, when everyone appeared on the second floor again, there was a hint of disbelief in their eyes. The previous guess was correct, and everyone seemed to be trapped in some kind of cycle.
What exactly is the problem?
After some thinking, they finally agreed that it was most likely to be on the eighth floor. Only there was a barrier there, and after stepping on that staircase, it was not the ninth floor that entered, but an inexplicable appearance on the second floor.
.
Everyone did not hesitate and stepped onto the eighth floor again. However, when they looked at the barrier in front of them, they did not continue to act. Instead, they analyzed and discussed with each other.
"This should be some kind of special formation. There is some kind of linkage relationship between the first floor and the ninth floor of the pagoda, or it is simply one. If you want to break this cycle, you must understand the rules of the formation.
That's it." A certain formation master gave a guess, and his words attracted the approval of most people. Only formations can do this kind of situation.
Without delay, the five formation masters began to cooperate again. Even some elders in the alchemy stage who had some knowledge of formation methods also participated.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Jia?" Cheng Songting walked closer and asked Mo Juren, who was silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
"We don't have a clue yet." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and suddenly said,
"It's right to focus on the eighth layer, but you can't be too desperate. It's best to study the other layers at the same time. You might gain something."
"Fellow Daoist Jia wants to..." Cheng Songting's heart moved, and he vaguely understood what the other party was thinking. Qin Yue on the side also reacted, his eyes suddenly revealed and he said,
"What Brother Jia said is not unreasonable. The rest of us and I are idle anyway, so we just want to go back to the other floors to take a look."
This was exactly what Mo Juren meant, and he immediately took the initiative to choose the second floor at the bottom and turned around to leave. Wang Ying and the three girls only hesitated for a moment, but immediately followed up.
After some discussion, the other alchemy monks also chose their own floors, and soon left one after another.
……
"You three just wait here, I'll go see it myself." Returning to the second floor, Mo Juren whispered, and then walked towards the nearest mural alone.
Wang Ying and the three girls naturally understood what the other party meant, and it was difficult to say anything. They had to stay near the stairs and did not follow. However, a trace of curiosity would inevitably arise in their hearts, and they would always peek around unconsciously.
Those murals were too bold. Although the three girls were from a special sect like the Miaoyin Sect and were no strangers to matters between men and women, they were still a little unbearable, and their three pretty faces were all very hot.
"Sister, why don't I go take a look, maybe I can help." Fan Jingmei, the most courageous of the three girls, took the initiative to ask.
"You are just a foundation-building monk, what can you do to help?" Wang Ying rolled her eyes at the other person, but unexpectedly, the latter's answer made her startled.
"Sister, have you forgotten that our Miaoyin Sect has a relatively deep research on this Tao. There are many classics in the sect that relate to this. There may be a connection."
"You said that..." Wang Yingjiao frowned and suddenly said,
"It makes some sense, but after all, you two are too young in cultivation, so I'll go with it."
After saying that, he walked slowly towards Mo Juren in the distance, leaving Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei alone looking at each other. The latter even whispered:
"Obviously I am the one who has the deepest experience in this field, why does my sister..."
"It may be other reasons." Zhuo Ruting seemed to have thought of something, her crystal eyes rolled, and then she whispered, "I have some guesses, sister, she may be interested in Senior Mo..."
"What! Are you sure!" After hearing the other party's words, Fan Jingmei couldn't help shouting in surprise, and her rosy mouth opened roundly.
"Why are you shouting? This is just my guess..." Zhuo Ruting rolled her eyes at the other person and said.
"So, she is worried that I will..." Fan Jingmei also reacted at this time, and then showed an 'angry' look, and said angrily,
"Sister, it's true. How can you be so defensive to me? Am I that kind of person?"
"You are!" Zhuo Ruting replied with unusual certainty.
"..." Fan Jingmei was suddenly speechless.
Elsewhere, Wang Ying naturally didn't know what her two younger sisters were whispering. She obviously couldn't care about it at this time, and was standing in front of the mural with a shy face, struggling.
"What are you doing here?" Mo Juren looked surprised. He could just appreciate such a restricted masterpiece by himself, but he felt a little awkward when a beautiful woman came to accompany him.
"I... I have many classics in this area in the inheritance of Miaoyin Sect. Maybe they can help?" Wang Ying lowered her forehead and replied in a low voice.
"You look like this... Forget it, let's go back. These murals are not necessarily the key." Mo Juren couldn't help laughing, he didn't dare to look at it, so he asked for help.
"I...I'm fine!" Wang Ying seemed to have mustered up her courage. However, the moment she raised her head to look at the mural, her cheeks turned red and her bright eyes subconsciously averted her eyes.
Mo Juren couldn't help but feel a little funny. At this time, the other party still had no trace of the spirit of the master of Miaoyin Sect, and the majesty of the monk in the pill formation stage was completely gone. Is he just a little girl? It can be understood if you think about it, after all, the change of fate
As a result, the other person is still single, so it’s normal that he can’t let go in this regard.
"Go back quickly, I can do it alone." He persuaded again, but unexpectedly, the latter was very stubborn and had no idea of retreating.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is the source-changing app,
After some thought and mental construction, when I raised my head to look at the mural again, I finally didn't dodge. However, my cheeks were still very red.
The other party was so insistent that Mo Juren didn't bother to persuade him anymore, and then continued to 'research' on his own.
I have to say that the painter's painting skills are really good, which can be said to be the best. All the scenery, characters, etc. are almost perfect, as if they are real and lifelike.
Moreover, as I watched it for longer, I even had an inexplicable idea in my mind. Maybe this mural is real, and the world depicted on it is also a real world.
As soon as this thought came out, the mural in front of me changed instantly, and suddenly there was a layer of ripples. All the scenery and portraits came to life, and even the sound of women's laughter could be heard in my ears.
"This... is not good..." Mo Juren immediately understood that there was something wrong with this thing. However, it was already too late. Suddenly, gray light filled the mural, and a strong suction force emerged, and in an instant, the mural was filled with gray light.
He sucked it in. Wang Ying happened to be nearby, too close to escape, and her figure also disappeared.
Everything happened too fast, until the two disappeared, Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei in the distance did not react. When the two came back to their senses, the dust had already settled, and everything was too late.
"What should I do?" The two women were anxious at the moment, but they didn't know how to deal with it. As for coming forward to rescue or anything, it was obviously unreliable. They were just two foundation-building monks. How could they have such ability?
"Look for other people, maybe there will be a solution." Forced herself to calm down, Fan Jingmei gave some advice.
This was the only thing they could do at the moment. The two women did not hesitate and immediately hurried upward. However, a moment later, a terrible fact emerged. Almost all the monks who got too close to the murals had a similar situation and were directly photographed.
Among them, the number of monks in the alchemy stage accounted for most of the forces on both sides.
As for those who were lucky enough not to be absorbed, such as Cheng Songting and Qin Yue, they had already chosen to stay away in fear, and finally they all gathered on the eighth floor again.
Everyone is trapped in anxiety, but unfortunately they don’t know how to deal with it, so they can only resign themselves to fate.
Seeing this scene, Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting were equally disappointed. They chose a place to sit cross-legged and stopped talking. Cheng Yang in the distance probably guessed something, and immediately came over to ask with an anxious look.
The answer was as expected, and Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment. How could he accept that something happened to his sweetheart? If he had known earlier, he should have gone with him.
This is also to blame for the monk surnamed Jia. He was so strong and thought he could protect Ying'er, but he didn't expect that he was completely a parallel import.
In fact, if the other party had not appeared and had such strong strength, Miaoyinmen would not have acted as a separate party. It would have been a supporting force for Kamikaze Island in accordance with the original agreement. And he himself would naturally accompany him every step of the way.
Be by your sweetheart's side. That way, even if something happens, you will be able to face it together with yourself.
However, there are no ifs in the world, and there is no regret medicine. At this time, he has no other choice but to wait. He can only sit on the ground in despair, his eyes full of confusion.
At this time, everyone on the Kamikaze Island side, the Corpse Jade Sect, and the Miaoyin Sect were extremely anxious. Those included in the murals were all elders of the sects in the alchemy stage, and there were so many of them. If they really left and never came back,
, that loss would be too terrifying.
Especially for the Miaoyin Sect, the sect owners have all joined in. There are really three advantages and two disadvantages, and I am afraid that the sect may fall apart.
