Since there was no need to use the Earth Escape Technique anymore, Luo Hong took off the Soul Suppressing Talisman. The remaining mana in the Talisman could be used by him two more times.
If you encounter danger in Chiyang Mountain, using this talisman to escape underground can be an excellent means of escape.
As soon as the Suppressing Talisman was gone, the docile fire spirit around Luo Hong immediately became violent and abnormal, making him frown.
After walking along the smooth stone wall passage for a long time, Luo Hong faintly saw a red spiritual light flickering in front of him. He first took out the soul-swallowing shield to protect his chest, and then slowly approached it.
After approaching, Luo Hong was shocked to find that the source of the red spiritual light was actually a spiritual shield that blocked the entire passage.
"Someone can actually set up a formation here!"
Luo Hong couldn't help but confirm the fire aura in the surrounding area, which was even more violent than before.
As we all know, formation is the control and application of spiritual energy. To be able to set up formations in such a chaotic spiritual energy environment can no longer just be said to be brilliant, but should be called miraculous workmanship.
Standing two or three feet away from the red spirit mask, Luo Hong focused his magic power on his eyes, trying to see clearly what was behind the spirit mask.
I saw two black stone doors more than ten feet high standing there. There seemed to be two tall stone statues on both sides of the stone doors, like door gods.
It's a pity that Luo Hong didn't practice his spiritual eyes and magical powers, so he couldn't see clearly the appearance of the stone statue.
Between the uncanny formations, the mysterious black stone door, and the painstaking planning of the demonic monks, an astonishing idea took shape in Luo Hong's mind.
"It's the cave of an ancient monk!"
Needless to say about the ancient monks, because the concentration of spiritual energy in the human world in ancient times was unknown, so not only were the ancient monks themselves extremely powerful and had amazing magical powers, but the various items they left behind are rare in the human world today.
Obtained treasure.
Ancient talismans, ancient treasures, heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and all kinds of miraculous elixirs are all treasures that will attract Yuanying old monsters to compete for them as soon as they are born!
Thinking of this, Luo Hong's first thought was to immediately use the Four Elephants Teleportation Talisman to teleport back. After all, the secrets here are too amazing. With his small body in the foundation building stage, he would be seeking death if he participated in the plan of the old monster Yuanying!
However, Luo Hong stopped midway before his hand touched the storage bag.
His face became a little ferocious due to the inner struggle. A huge opportunity is right in front of him. It is easy to say that he can just leave it, but only those who are in it know how difficult it is, especially when Luo Hong still has the means to try.
On the premise of breaking through the formation restrictions.
Looking at the [Breaking Talisman] between her fingers, Luo Hong hesitated.
This talisman is the last of the three functional talismans he developed, and it is also the most powerful one.
The master of Fumen carved ancient inscriptions on the bronze gate that day, originally to break the restrictions of the forbidden area. It is not surprising that the talisman Luo Hong developed based on the ancient inscriptions had such results.
"Why not give it a try. If the forbidden talisman cannot break this formation, I don't need to worry about it. I can just kill the monitor and report back to Yellow Maple Valley. I think I can get some benefits."
Luo Hong was not sure whether the forbidden talisman he had refined would be of use to this mysterious formation.
If this formation is in a period of complete victory, then there is no need to think about it. No matter how exquisite the silver runes left by the masters of Tianfu Sect are, they will definitely not be able to break through this formation.
After all, Luo Hong's cultivation level is there, the spiritual level is strictly limited, and the talismans he refines are naturally restricted.
However, just from the flickering spirit shield of this formation, Luo Hong could tell that there was a big problem with this formation.
Although we have not yet seen the entire formation, we know without even thinking that this formation must be connected to the entire Chiyang Mountain.
Even if tens of thousands of years have passed, the ground of Chiyang Mountain has changed, causing the power of this formation to be greatly reduced, and it will not be easy to break it violently.
There are two ways to violently break the formation. One is to let monks whose cultivation is at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul or above, use magical powers that can move mountains and seas, and blast the formation for several hours, which will surely break it.
The other is to spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources to dig out the ground veins of Chiyang Mountain, directly destroying the foundation of the formation, and then attack with violence. It will definitely be much easier to crack.
"The magic monks used the second method. The earthquake three years ago was the result of them thinking that they were almost done digging, so they attacked the formation with some powerful means.
Although the formation failed to be broken in the end, the deflection of the earth veins caused by the earthquake had a great impact on the formation, causing it to produce this unstable flicker.
The level of this formation has undergone a huge change three years ago, and it is estimated that it has dropped from the Nascent Soul level to the Core Formation level. This means that the next time the demonic monk breaks the formation, it is very likely to be successful.
By then, I and all the animals on Chiyang Mountain will probably be mercilessly killed by the demonic monks on the pretext of silence."
Luo Hong was very lucky. If he hadn't noticed the abnormality in advance, he would most likely have died in a daze.
As for why such a huge event as the discovery of the ancient monk's cave didn't cause any movement in the original timeline?
This was the hole Luo Hong dug for himself. He unknowingly intervened and advanced the completion of the collapsed mine tunnel by two years.
Otherwise, according to the original timeline, the Six Demonic Sects would have invaded the Yue Kingdom in two years. At that time, the Demonic Sects who discovered the secret of Chiyang Mountain could just seize the mountain and make a fortune behind closed doors.
After clarifying some things, Luo Hong focused his eyes, exerted force with his fingers, and shot out the fluttering paper talisman like a sharp arrow.
I saw that as soon as the talisman paper came into contact with the red spirit mask, it stuck firmly to it. The talisman pattern became highlighted due to the stimulation of mana, and the red spirit mask attached to it immediately flashed at an increasingly faster speed.
.
Finally, as Luo Hong watched anxiously, a dazzling red flashed through, and a gap less than half a foot wide opened in the spirit shield.
The forbidden talisman disappeared, apparently its power was exhausted and turned into ashes.
Really broken!
Luo Hong was surprised and happy, but then he saw that the gap that had been opened only lasted for a moment and then quickly closed. He shouted:
"not good!"
When he came back to his senses, he was already inside the formation.
——————
Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, the gap in the spirit shield had been completely closed. He took out the Four Elephant Movement Talisman with a slight panic, and found that he could still sense the earth element spirit material left in the inn, and he felt calm.
.
Luo Hong does not have a second forbidden talisman. If the four-image moving talisman fails due to the restrictions in the formation, he will be trapped in the formation.
As a result, he is bound to become a thorn in the side of those demonic monks.
I didn't think much about it just now because I was in a hurry. It stands to reason that this kind of ancient formation has space restrictions. Otherwise, with the magical power of the ancient monks, wouldn't this formation be just a fake thing?
Therefore, it was most likely that the earthquake destroyed the spatial restrictions in the formation. Luo Hong secretly thought about luck, and then raised his eyes to look at the black stone door.
Now that he has entered and has a way out, how can Luo Hong be willing to enter Debao Mountain only to return empty-handed?
Scientific cultivation of immortality is actually the method of cultivating immortality that most relies on external objects. However, because it uses scientific methods to magnify the effectiveness of external objects to the limit, it seems that it does not rely heavily on external objects. However, in fact, scientific cultivation of immortality cannot be made out of nothing.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Luo Hong breaks in without thinking.
Standing there, Luo Hong looked at the two stone statues on both sides of the black stone door. Without the obstruction of the red spirit shield, he could see clearly.
The two stone statues are human-shaped, completely black, and seem to be made of the same material as the stone gate.
Compared with the huge stone gate that is more than ten feet high, these two stone statues are slightly shorter and are also ten feet high. Luo Hong had to look up hard to see the faces of the stone statues clearly.
After seeing it clearly, Luo Hong couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a guilty conscience, because these two stone statues both looked like Rakshasa demons, and they were so lifelike that they could not help but be frightening.
The evil stone statue on the left is holding a stone basin above its head with its pair of strong arms, while the one on the right is holding a stone tool similar to the Mingwang pestle in both hands, as if it is about to hit it.
"Junior, don't come over yet!"
Suddenly, a thunderous human voice sounded in Luo Hong's ears. He was startled and took a step back. His magic power condensed in his fingers. If anything went wrong, he would activate the Four Elephant Movement Talisman to escape.
"Now that I have passed through the Ming Yang Flowing Fire Formation, I am qualified to meet you."
The thunderous human voice started up again, and Luo Hong was sure this time that the voice came from the mouth of the stone statue holding the pestle on the right, but the stone statue's mouth remained in its original roaring shape and did not open or close.
Before he could figure it out, the stone statue holding the pestle said again:
"Junior, don't come over yet!"
"Senior, I don't mean any harm, it's just..."
"Now that I have passed through the Ming Yang Flowing Fire Formation, I am qualified to meet you."
Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, then realized that this stone statue could only speak fixed words and was similar to a fool-like intelligent voice assistant. It must be a puppet made by the Lord of the Cave to receive guests.
"Am I qualified? Is the formation outside a test?"
Luo Hongzheng didn't know what to do. Hearing what the stone statue said, he seemed to have no ill intentions, so he simply followed what he said and walked towards the black stone door.
As if sensing Luo Hong's approach, the pestle-holding stone statue did not repeat those two sentences. Only Luo Hong's footsteps echoed in the huge space separated by the formation and the black stone door.
When approaching the foot of the stone statue, the stone statue turned its neck and stared at Luo Hong with its huge round eyes.
"Junior, whether you ask me to set up a formation or refine a weapon, you must first take out the reward and weigh it."
Luo Hong saw the vivid facial expressions of the stone statue holding a basin when speaking, and then realized that the stone statue holding a pestle next to it might be somewhat broken. After all, the formation protecting this place had been damaged. Although the aura environment here was slightly better than outside, it was still
Very confusing.
After tens of thousands of years of time erosion, even the puppets refined by ancient monks cannot remain intact.
In this way, perhaps these two stone statues originally had spiritual intelligence, but after standing here withered for tens of thousands of years, their spiritual intelligence has long since disappeared.
But you still have to be careful, Luo Hong doesn't want to be snatched away by the remnant soul that emerges from the darkness.
"Senior, may I ask what the reward is?"
Luo Hong asked tentatively. He didn't know if his question was included in the setting of the stone statue.
"You don't know anything and you dare to disturb me from studying the avenue. I'm asking for a beating!"
As soon as the angry voice subsided, the stone statue holding the pestle on the right started to move, and was about to smash the pestle down, beating Luo Hong into a pulp.
"Senior, you might as well elaborate. Junior may not have the remuneration that senior needs!"
Luo Hong was shocked. He didn't expect that the owner of this place was such a weird person. One moment he was kind to him, but the next moment he was going to kill him, so he hurriedly said.
Of course, it is also possible that the stone statue misjudged Luo Hong's cultivation, and what was originally just a lesson became a fatal one.
"Junior is right. What I want is the great way of heaven and earth. I only need to bring out profound formation books and rare magical secrets. I can satisfy all your wishes!"
The requirements for the stone statue of the basin are rather strange. I think the master of the cave is a dedicated cultivator of immortality similar to me.
In this way, there should be many ancient magical secrets in this cave, and Luo Hong immediately became excited!
"Senior said weighing, how do you mean it?"
The stone statue holding the basin did not respond immediately, but first shot out a colorful ray of light from the basin, landed one step in front of Luo Hong, and then said:
"As long as you put the jade slips from the classics into the divine light of the Five Elements, the Tao-resistant Rakshasa I refined will weigh itself."
Luo Hong found that the stone statue seemed to answer all questions, and immediately asked unceremoniously:
“What does it take to be qualified?”
"Just make the arm of the anti-Dao Rakshasa bend."
"What happens if you can't do it?"
"Then eat the Rakshasa pestle, and I'll spare your life if you don't die!"
Luo Hong pondered, he did have two top-notch skills, but he knew with his heels that they would definitely not be able to meet the opponent's requirements.
In addition, the ancient texts left by the masters of Tianfu Sect are the most mysterious.
However, ancient script is a kind of writing passed down by ancient monks. Although the experts of Tianfu Sect have introduced new ideas, there is no guarantee that real ancient monks will take a fancy to it.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Hong took out a mediocre mortal book, which was "The Secret Records of Hongjun's Three Treasures" written by himself.
After throwing the book into the colorful rays of light, the rays of light immediately returned in a volume, carrying the book back to the stone basin.
The next moment, a huge white flame exploded from the stone basin, and the stone basin instantly turned into a brazier.
Before Luo Hong could feel sad about his burned book, he saw the black stone statue of the basin falling down. He was so shocked that he quickly regained his strength and backed away.
After a rumbling sound and the earth shook, the stone basin-holding statue knelt down on its knees, holding the basin firmly on its head.
This stone statue still seems to be unable to withstand the strength, its waist is being pushed lower and lower, and its head is about to touch the ground!
"Haha, distinguished guest! Distinguished guest!"
With a thunderous sound, the huge white flame in the stone basin disappeared instantly, and then another colorful ray of light rolled out. Luo Hong's book was back in his hands, but it seemed to be different.
The stone statue holding the basin stood up after removing its burden, stretched out an arm, and together with the stone statue holding the pestle, pushed open the black stone door.
After another tremor of the earth, the black stone door opened wide, and a burst of extremely pure spiritual energy rushed in. The secret pattern of the spiritual dragon on Luo Hong's body actually gave up the Jade Dragon Wine for the first time and swallowed up the spiritual energy from the outside world!
"A distinguished guest is here, let's have tea for enlightenment!"
