After Xiao Buyi made up his mind, he closed his eyes and sat in front of the ruins, assuming the attitude of "I will remain unmoved regardless of the wind from east to west, north or south", and risked his life to win this time.
Wu Jie looked at the people who had turned into tiny black dots at the end of the horizon, and then looked at Xiao Buyi who was trying to calm down his breathing and calm down. He nodded and sat next to him with a smile.
"Whether your judgment is right or wrong, it is good to be able to make this kind of decision."
Seeing that Xiao Buyi had no obvious reaction, he frowned and said to Jasmine: "What you said is not convincing. Look at him, he didn't react at all."
"That's because you lack dignity, Master. When you said that back then, all the praised disciples would not be moved to tears!"
"Back then, even if the Supreme God just nodded and waved, many people would be moved to tears..."
"That's true. It shows that majesty is the most important thing!"
"...Don't change the subject, think of something to say that can boost his self-confidence!"
"I think the story you told last time, Fourth, is good." Du Ruo suggested, "It was the unshaven old man who sat on the roadside, set up a stall, and said to the little boy passing by, 'Young man, I see you have clean bones.
Qi, you are a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a hundred years. From now on, you will be responsible for punishing rape and eradicating evil, and maintaining world peace. Then I will sell him a copy of "The Palm of the Tathagata" for ten cents..."
"Do you think this method will work?"
"Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely be very moved and feel confident from now on!"
Wu Jie was silent for a long time, and his thousands of words turned into a long sigh.
He had always wondered why Du Ruo was so easily deceived to death by Taoist Sanshan, and now he finally understood the reason.
Xiao Buyi couldn't be as easy to deceive as Du Ruo, not to mention he couldn't come up with the secret book of Tathagata Palm, so naturally he could only reject this method.
But Du Ruo's words still inspired him a lot, so he decided to tell a story!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, have you ever heard of the allusion to selling abductors?"
Xiao Buyi thought for a while and shook his head.
Wu Jie suddenly became energetic and began to tell him the famous sketch.
The joke was quickly finished, but Xiao Buyi did not laugh, but began to ponder.
After a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "I understand! When you tell this allusion, you are advising me that 'mana and deeds are not the most important, the most important thing is eloquence', right?"
His reaction was completely different from what Wu Jie expected, and instead made Wu Jie stunned.
"This allusion is very good! It tells us that as long as the eloquence is good enough, black people can be said to be white, and people with sound limbs can also be said to be disabled... Sure enough, for us fortune tellers, the most important thing is eloquence
Got it!"
"I think the person who made up this story may not have thought so..."
"No! That must be what it means! In the past, I have always focused too much on cultivation and spells, and ignored the most important eloquence. Now that I think about it, it is really a waste of time - we fortune tellers are not good at fighting in the first place. Spending so much time practicing spells has nothing to do with it.
What’s the point? If I had spent all that time on eloquence, I could have scolded Su Lin away yesterday just with my words!”
"That might be a bit difficult..."
"It's not difficult! I have come up with several excuses, just wait and see! As long as he dares to come back, I will definitely scold him until he bursts into tears, and he will have no shame in staying here any longer!"
Wu Jie saw that Xiao Buyi suddenly became radiant and energetic, and began to reflect on whether he had said or done the wrong thing, leading a good young man astray.
"Master, he is already thirty-five years old, how can he be considered a young man!"
"How come thirty-five is not considered a youth? Thirty-eight or nine years old counts!"
"People in their thirties still imitate others and pretend to be young. They are already middle-aged..." Jasmine suddenly shuddered as she spoke, looking around in confusion, "Why do I suddenly feel very dangerous? It seems that I said something
What about the things I shouldn’t have said?”
Although it was a little different from the original plan, Wu Jie successfully inspired Xiao Buyi's confidence and made him more motivated.
Okay, that's enough.
The bright moon gradually turns to the west, the east begins to whiten, the night passes, and the day comes.
The inside of the ruins remains the same, with no changes visible.
When the sun rose, the wind gradually became stronger. Xiao Buyi and Wu Jie sat in front of the ruins, listening to the sound of wind and sand in the sky, and watching the sky and earth gradually become dim.
For safety, they relied on a relatively solid broken wall on the edge of the ruins and used magic to create a protective wall to block the wind and sand coming towards them.
According to the experience of the past few days, strong winds in the desert generally do not last long and will subside soon. But this time the strong wind is completely different from the past. The wild wind keeps roaring around, like an angry giant, always
It's like venting anger.
They waited patiently until noon, when the wind gradually calmed down.
When the wind was no longer so shrill and fierce, Wu Jie pushed aside the sand that had piled up like a wall and walked out of the temporary shelter.
Looking far into the distance, the desert looked no different from before. The terrifying strong wind in the morning seemed to be just their illusion, leaving no conspicuous traces.
He shook his head and turned around to look at the pile of sand that looked like a wall around the shelter.
"The sand in this desert is really terrible... If it weren't for the protection of magic, both of us would have been buried alive!"
As he was speaking, he suddenly froze and turned to look at the ruins of the ancient city.
Just one sandstorm has such a large scale. This ruins has existed for at least hundreds of years. Why can we still see so many ruins that were not buried by the sand?
He remembered... when Xiao Buyi was searching in the ancient city yesterday, he could even run along the streets!
He hurriedly expressed his doubts, and Xiao Buyi also reacted. The two of them each drove their magic weapons into the air and carefully observed this seemingly inconspicuous ruins.
The condition of the ruins is no different from yesterday. The strong sandstorm just now did not even bury its streets.
Xiao Buyi impatiently descended into the ruins and looked around, trying to find some clues.
Wu Jie did not do this, but flew towards a large sand dune nearby.
"Jasmine, do you think it would be possible to use the Book of Heaven to fit the entire dune into it?"
"It's just ordinary sand, it should be fine."
After receiving Jasmine's affirmative reply, Wu Jie took a deep breath and spread his magic power towards the entire sand dune.
At this moment, looking from above, I could see a small figure floating above the huge sand dune, with his hands spread out as if to hug something. But just a few seconds later, the huge sand dune suddenly lost a big chunk.
Pieces are like pieces of cake that have been bitten off, and they continue to disappear piece by piece.
A few minutes later, Wu Jie was panting slightly and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The size of this sand dune was a bit beyond his expectation, but fortunately it was made entirely of dry sand and was not connected to each other, so it was not too difficult to collect it.
After resting for a while, he flew over the ruins of the ancient city again and shouted to Xiao Buyi, who was still looking around like a headless fly: "Fellow Daoist Xiao! You fly up first!"
Xiao Buyi stopped in confusion and looked up at him.
"I'm very busy now."
"You come up here first, I have a way, maybe I can find clues."
Xiao Buyi frowned and drove a cloud-shaped magic weapon slowly up into the air and flew to Wu Jie's side.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, what solution have you come up with?"
Wu Jie pointed to the ruins of the ancient city below and said: "Wait a moment I will rain down a lot of yellow sand. Please pay attention to the situation of the ancient city - I believe that in order not to be buried by the sand, the formation that protects it will definitely start to operate.
of!"
Xiao Buyi immediately understood what he meant, but he was a little confused: "My ability is limited. If you sprinkle some sand from the sky, I may not see any obvious signs."
"Don't worry, it's not 'a little bit'!" Wu Jie smiled confidently, and then assumed a spell-casting posture.
Xiao Buyi hurriedly lowered his head to look at the ancient city. After thinking about it, he flew a little further away so that he could see it more clearly, for fear of missing any clues.
But he never dreamed that the formation Wu Jie created would be so huge!
There was a loud noise, and the long yellow sand poured out from the circle held by his hands, turning into a rolling wave of sand, pouring down towards the ancient city below.
This wave of sand spread out as it fell, and within a second or two it turned into a rainstorm of sand that was enough to cover half of the ancient city. According to this formation, maybe in just one meal, the entire ancient city might be completely buried by it.
Lose.
He suddenly felt uneasy, worried that Wu Jie's formation would cause too much trouble, worried that the formation left by Patriarch Li would not be able to withstand it, worried that it would be self-defeating this time...
Facts have proved that all his worries were unnecessary. When the long sand rain poured down, an almost invisible yellow light rose in the streets of the ancient city, forming a misty fog. This fog seemed to be endless.
In the vast ocean, no matter how much sand fell, it was swallowed up directly, and none of it fell into the ancient city.
The sand rain poured down for a full quarter of an hour, but until finally Wu Jie fell down panting from exhaustion, the ancient city remained the same without any change.
"I understand!" Xiao Buyi laughed loudly, grabbed Wu Jie, and hurriedly ran towards the ancient city.
This time his steps were quick and decisive, and he had obviously made up his mind.
After a while, they stood in front of a broken wall.
"This is it! This is the hub of the entire ancient city formation! The place of inheritance left by Patriarch Li must be here!" Xiao Buyi excitedly pressed his hands on the broken wall and activated the spell.
Following his spell, an iron bagua and several bamboo slips emerged in the air, each emitting light and shining on the broken wall.
Being struck by these lights, the originally inconspicuous broken wall suddenly became transparent. If you look closely, you will see that it is a gray-yellow door.
Xiao Buyi impatiently reached out to push the door, but when he stretched out his hands, he found nothing, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"My destiny is too weak to suppress the formation here!" He shouted, "Fellow Daoist Wu, please open the door for me!"
Wu Jie responded and walked over, raising his hand to push towards the door.
Strangely enough, the door that Xiao Buyi could not touch seemed to be like a solid door to him. It was just that the door was so heavy that he couldn't push it with all his strength.
"Qi Luck! Inspire your Qi Luck! This door can only be pushed open with Qi Luck!" Xiao Buyi shouted anxiously.
Wu Jie nodded and activated his luck according to the method Xiao Buyi said at the beginning. He immediately felt that the door was much lighter and opened it easily.
Xiao Buyi didn't bother to thank him and rushed towards the door in a hurry. It wasn't until he passed the door that he shouted from the door: "You can close the door now! As long as I get the true message, I will naturally have a way out!"
Wu Jie stopped stimulating good fortune, and the door suddenly became extremely heavy again and slowly closed.
He breathed out a sigh of relief and stepped aside to rest.
He has done whatever he can to help. Next...it depends on Xiao Buyi's own luck!
