As soon as Lei Yin Buddha left, Cao Chengmu's heart sank slightly.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Ji Xu was too strong and he did not dare to say anything.
Now that Ji Xu is gone, he doesn't dare to neglect anything.
With a smile on his face, he greeted the monks and then walked up to Li Chen and said in a deep voice: "Master~ Master, I need to put more thought into this."
After speaking, he pretended to be concerned and turned to the many Moon Shadow Guards and ordered: "The safety of the mage is the top priority."
"No one can slack off, understand?"
"yes!"
After saying this, he said goodbye to the monks and left.
Li Chen looked at his back and thought secretly: This City Lord Cao is much more difficult to deal with than Ji Xu.
The person they fear most if they want to leave here is not Lei Yin Fuzi, but the Moon Shadow Guards under City Lord Cao.
Therefore, if they want to escape smoothly, delaying time is only temporary. They still need to find a way to truly unlock the 'dark curse'.
"The feeling of a dark curse?"
Monk Ye Hui was suddenly asked by Li Chen and couldn't help but fall into memories.
"Well, how should I say it?"
"It seems like someone has cast a restraining spell on my whole body. I can't move at all. Only my eyes, but my mind are not affected."
"If the young monk hadn't been born with a 'celestial eye' and could see through it with his gaze, he would have been caught by them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Xinguang also nodded: "No one in the entire Xunhuang knows about the 'Dark Curse' of Yueying City."
"It is said that this place was originally a small world created by ancient immortals. Could the 'dark curse' be the rule of the small world?"
The practice of monks is the process of opening up a small world and formulating rules.
If this Moon Shadow City is really a small world, then the 'Dark Curse' would make sense as the rule of the small world.
The small world after the immortal ascends will finally appear in the original world and turn into a secret realm.
Moon Shadow City is hidden underground and is indeed very similar to a secret realm.
But it is a dungeon that is completely integrated with the original world.
Compared to a secret realm, Moon Shadow City is more like an excavated space.
But why does the ‘dark curse’ only work in Moon Shadow City?
Li Chen's eyebrows tightened. He didn't know why he suddenly thought of 'moonlight moss'.
If there are any differences between Moon Shadow City and the outside world, the first thing to mention is ‘Moonlight Moss’.
Moon Shadow City is located deep underground and relies entirely on moon moss to provide light.
So is there any connection between ‘Dark Curse’ and ‘Moon Moss’?
Li Chen's eyes narrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Because Moonlight Moss can only be found in Moon Shadow City, and the 'Dark Curse' can only be cast in Moon Shadow City.
Once you leave Moon Shadow City, both of these things will become ineffective.
When Li Chen made a guess, the monks immediately agreed.
However, Monk Xinguang sighed: "Actually, the doubts about 'Moonlight Moss' and 'Dark Curse' were raised by Taoist Master Weichen before."
"Priest Weichen?"
Li Chen was slightly startled.
Taoist Master Wei Chen was the Taoist temple leader they had settled in Yueying City before.
"However, 'Moonlight Moss' is everywhere in Moon Shadow City. Even if we know that the two are related, there is nothing we can do."
Li Chen nodded.
Anyway, we can't burn all the moon moss in one go.
Thinking of this, Li Chen asked again: "Master Xinguang, has no one been able to break the 'hidden curse' for so many years?"
Monk Xinguang nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly: "In the past five hundred years, I have never heard of anyone breaking the 'hidden curse'."
"There is a travel diary recorded in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Danlanda Temple, called "Seng Wen Yue Xia Shuo"."
"There is a legend mentioned in it, which is said to be closely related to the Sesshou Temple."
When Li Chen heard this, he immediately became interested: "Is it related to the Shasheng Temple?"
Monk Xinguang nodded: ""Seng Wen Yue Xia Shuo" records the insights of Monk Fa Yin, an ancestor of Landuo Temple, who traveled all over the world."
“It is similar to Master Tripitaka’s Journey to the West.”
"It is mentioned in the book that Samsara Kong once successfully broke the 'dark curse' of Moon Shadow City."
"Reincarnation is empty?"
Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other and said in unison: "Master Fu Kong?!"
Before he founded the Sasho Temple, Monk Fu Kong was the disciple of Samsara Buddha in the Samsara Temple.
At that time, his dharma name was still called "Liao Kong".
Li Chen's eyes turned sharply, and his thoughts were instantly drawn to the Fu Kong Mountain of Shasheng Temple.
At that time, when he was using "Flowing Water Does Not Rot" to roll up the Buddha's Waterfall, he had seen the handwriting left by Patriarch Buddha.
He once said that he had traveled all over the world.
I have reached the state of ascension a long time ago, but after ascension, it is not the 'great liberation' or 'great freedom' that I pursue.
That's why I forcibly suppressed my cultivation and realized the supreme realm I sought.
It seems that he came to Yueying City at that time.
Li Chen muttered secretly: "Yueying City, Yueying City..."
Suddenly his eyes lit up, and a skill appeared in his mind - "Inviting Shadows in the Moon and Sky"!
"Inviting the Shadow in the Moon" I learned it during the battle between Li Chen and Li Shen.
At that time, Brother Liqi once said that "Inviting the Moon to the Shadow" was created by the Patriarch Fu Kong, and it contained the Great Way of Space.
It can turn into a shadow in an instant and travel through space.
Therefore, "Inviting Shadows in the Moon Sky" is also called the 'Shadow Escape' in addition to the Five Elements Escape Technique.
Nayue Movie City, "Inviting Shadows from the Moon Sky"...
Is there any connection between the two?
Now that I think about it, no wonder I felt a sense of déjà vu as soon as I entered Moon Shadow City.
Could it be that Patriarch Bu Kong created "Inviting Moon Shadow" in Yueying City?!
Li Chen was excited in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Due to the tight guarding of the shadow guards, the monks could only rest separately.
It wasn't until early in the morning on the third day that Ji Xu returned to Huanhua Tower with a tired face.
He immediately invited everyone from Lichen over.
As soon as Li Chen went up to the sixth floor, he saw the Prison Ox Cauldron placed in the center.
Ji Xu next to him was full of joy.
As soon as he saw Li Chen, Ji Xu couldn't help but greet him with a smile: "Hahaha, Master Li Chen~"
"You finally came!"
Seeing that he was so proud, Li Chen couldn't help but feel relieved.
But I heard Ji Xu say loudly: "I played "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand" in the yellow sand of the desert, and "Guangling San" on the top of the mountain at dusk."
"As the sun and moon rotate, the vast earth resonates with the cauldron, making you feel refreshed and refreshed!"
When Li Chen heard this, he couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.
This prisoner ox cauldron is one of the nine dragon cauldrons.
It has the effect of suppressing luck in itself.
As long as you are close to the great cauldron, no matter what you are doing, your luck will be affirmed and your practice will be smooth.
As for what Ji Xu said about feeling refreshed, it was probably because he was naturally fond of music.
It's just that after years of suppressing my inner feelings, I was suddenly released, so I felt extremely relaxed.
Having said this, Ji Xu suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Chen: "Although I have already felt the changes in the Prison Niu Cauldron."
"But... the weapon spirit still hasn't been awakened."
Hearing this, Li Chen deliberately snorted and said, "The weapon spirit has been sleeping for thousands of years, and you just want to wake it up by playing two songs?"
