Chapter 587 The seal of Chishuiyuan is broken, the hairball changes
Yan Zhan took a step forward, came to the ring, looked around, and said loudly: "This exchange meeting is different from the previous competitions we held in the academy..."
When Tiancang Academy was founded, it held a competition almost every year, just like a sports meeting in a school in a global village. The slogan was friendship first, competition second.
Firstly, it is to maintain the enterprising spirit of the students, and secondly, it is also to give these competitive primitive teenagers an opportunity to vent their energy and resolve minor conflicts.
The academy prohibits private fighting, but it does not mind open and honest competition among students.
But slogans are just slogans, and everyone is just shouting. Almost everyone participating in the competition is trying their best to get the rankings and prizes.
No one is first in literature, no second in military skills, and he is young and vigorous. Who can easily conquer whom?
Therefore, the annual college competition is almost purely an arena competition. Although it is not a battle of life and death, there are definitely not many people who are perfunctory.
After all, it is a registration competition every time. If you want to do it half-heartedly, you might as well not register at all.
Other colleges have also copied the appearance of Tiancang College in order to enhance the competitiveness and enterprising spirit of students.
"We don't draw lots to determine our opponents like in the academy. We can communicate with each other in private about our practice experience. If you are dissatisfied with each other, you can go to the stage to compete. No matter what skills you use, it will be fine. But there is one thing.
, for the sake of fairness, neither party is allowed to use any props other than portable magic weapons during the competition in the ring."
Every monk will have one or two personal magic weapons, as well as other props, not to mention those from wealthy families, including various defensive props, attack props, talismans, etc.
If even these props can be used casually, then true fairness will be lost.
Maybe in a life-and-death battle, there are no such restrictions, but the game is a game, and fighting is fighting, and some rules are needed to limit it.
"Lord City Lord, can casual cultivators also participate?" someone shouted.
When they heard this, many of the disciples from the academy laughed.
In their view, casual cultivators are a group of people whose talents are not up to standard and thus have been rejected by major colleges, but who are determined to practice.
After all, the academy's resources are limited and cannot be wasted on people with insufficient talent. This approach is a bit cruel, but it is the best plan.
Knowing that you can't do something but doing it, knowing that you can't do it but asking for it, this kind of perseverance is very touching, but many times it is very stupid, especially when choosing your own path in life.
What’s really touching about doing something you know you can’t do is that when you make this kind of sacrificial choice, it can have a better promotion effect in some aspects.
For example, on the battlefield, in order to boost morale, one may rush forward even though he knows that he will die if he rushes forward.
But when it comes to something like spiritual practice, which requires a lot of talent, it is not advisable to force yourself to squeeze in even though you know your talent is not good enough, and don't look back even if you hit the wall.
Therefore, the students selected by the academy will have a natural sense of superiority when facing those casual cultivators, because the existence of these unsuccessful people proves their strength.
But there are always exceptions in everything. There are some people who are neither talented nor inferior, but after being rejected by the college, they work hard and work tirelessly, and the road becomes wider and wider.
However, due to the lack of resources, it is indeed difficult to enter the realm quickly. For more than a hundred years, there have been few casual cultivators who have advanced to the earth level, let alone the heaven level.
This cannot be said to be a failure in the college's method of recruiting students, but that there are no absolutes in the world, and there will always be mistakes.
However, Yan Zhan did not show a disdainful smile like some people, but still smiled like a spring breeze and affirmed: "Of course! Everyone has a chance, as long as you have the courage."
Although the actions of these people are not advisable, their spirit is commendable, right?
Everyone has their own different pursuits. Instead of following their own talents, they follow their own likes and dislikes. This is everyone's freedom and right. Who can say they are wrong?
For those who are pursuing their dreams, what may seem to others to be a difficult, painful, and arduous process is sweet to them?
You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?
But for the decision-makers who make decisions, they cannot be so willful. When Yun Buliu asked the female giant to formulate those rules and select the best for admission, didn't she know that there would always be some fish that slipped through the net? She must have known that! But
As a decision-maker, he has to consider all aspects.
He cannot squander resources at will, but must optimize and maximize the use of resources.
Another person raised his hand and asked: "Excuse me, Lord City Lord. I heard that Lord City Lord plans to determine the rankings for both heaven and earth after this competition. Is this the way to determine the rankings?"
Yan Zhan nodded, then shook his head slightly, "The arena battle can only be regarded as part of the results, but it is not the only criterion for determining the rankings. This exchange meeting lasted for a total of half a month, and the first seven days were filled with such exchange meetings and the arena
Competition. After seven days, everyone can go out to sea to hunt, depending on the strength of the prey that will come, and the final evaluation will be based on the comprehensive score."
So someone asked again, "But Lord City Lord, when you go out to sea to hunt sea beasts, do you also need to restrict the use of props? If the use is restricted, how can we ensure that no accidents occur? Also, if someone cheats and replaces the prey hunted by others, and
How to ban it?”
Yan Zhan was still smiling and took the trouble to explain: "Of course there will be no restrictions on hunting at sea. After all, saving life is the first priority. Everyone must also remember not to do something that is beyond your capabilities just because you are competitive.
After all, the rankings on the list are not permanent and will change with time, so there is no need to rush..."
With Yan Zhan's explanation, everyone gradually understood the rules of the list, and the exchange meeting officially began.
As soon as Yanzhan announced the start, someone slowly walked onto the ring. That person was Du Yingjie from Huqiu Academy. He was also the youngest son of Du Yidao, the leader of Du Sect in Shedaoya.
Du Yingjie is now a prefecture-level cultivator, and his target is Ken Liang of Jingshan Academy.
Two days ago, the battle between Du Yiliu and Jing Xi was blocked by a monkey and the outcome could not be determined. Today, Du Yingjie wants to continue the battle.
After all, he is not only a disciple of Huqiu Academy, but also Du Yidao's son.
The student at Jingshan Academy looks down on his father. As a son, he cannot ignore others and humiliate his father.
It was naturally impossible for Jingshan Academy to show weakness. Even though Du Yingjie had entered the prefecture level longer than Ken Liang, Ken Liang's expression did not change at all and he looked very confident.
After the two came to the ring, a transparent light shield was raised on the edge of the ring. The sounds inside could not be heard, but their movements could be clearly seen.
This is to protect the audience outside the arena. After all, such a small arena is indeed a bit too small for earth-level heavenly monks and is not suitable for performing.
It is indeed not very friendly to monks who are good at long-distance attacks.
But it doesn't matter, even if you lose in the arena, you can still compete again on hunting animals at sea.
Du Yingjie and Ken Liang stood still on the ring. When the defensive shield opened, Du Yingjie's mental power moved, and the scene in front of Ken Liang changed.
But in the eyes of those watching the battle outside, it was Du Yingjie who summoned a flying sword, pointed at the opponent, and saw that the flying sword turned into a stream of light and shot straight towards the opponent's stomach.
After all, this is just a competition, there is no need to pierce the heart or head and lead to a life and death battle.
But just when Du Yingjie's flying sword was about to hit Ken Liang's abdomen, Ken Liang reached out and slapped it, a mysterious light appeared in his hand, and he knocked the flying sword away in an instant.
"Awesome! If I hadn't been prepared for your illusion, I would have really fallen into your trap." Ken Liang praised Du Yingjie, but his tone was as if he was criticizing a junior, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Du Yingjie snorted softly, recalled the flying sword, held the long sword in his hand, and used a set of sword skills to serve the opponent. For a moment, the arena was covered by the light of the sword.
Ken Yi looked frightened by the sword light and stood there stupidly. It was not until the sword light was about to approach that his figure started to flicker and flashed into the sword light like a floating leaf.
Dangdangdang...
The sounds of gold and iron clashing came from the sword light, and in less than three breaths, Du Yingjie saw Du Yingjie floating back with his sword across his chest, looking a little unsightly.
Many people in the audience were stunned, and most of these people still didn't understand.
It wasn't until they recorded it with a camera on the sidelines and watched the slow-motion replay that they figured out what happened in that flash of lightning.
But for some people who see it clearly, it is a somewhat unexpected way of coping.
Many people saw a spirituality in Kenliang's body, which was a sense of fighting and a sense of fighting.
During the slow-motion playback, Ken Yi was seen flying into thousands of sword lights, dodging left and right like floating leaves. His body and hands were covered with mysterious lights, but what really collided with the sword lights was
His hands lightly slapped away the unavoidable sword light, then moved forward and grabbed Du Yingjie's chest with one claw. Du Yingjie's sword crossed his chest, and the claws and swords collided instantly.
What's even more surprising is that after the claw-sword collision, it was Du Yingjie who stepped back.
This makes people look at Kenliang even more with admiration.
It's a pity that there are no event hosts and commentators, otherwise, it would be easy to arouse the atmosphere here. And there is a video recorder nearby, but they don't know how to cooperate with the TV station to broadcast the events here, let alone use resources to collect advertising fees.
,simply……
If Yun didn't stay here, he would definitely complain about Yan Zhan's operational abilities.
However, after all, Yan Zhan is a cultivator, not a student of management or economics. He doesn't know much about business, which is actually understandable.
On the rostrum, the old ape Yuan Shan stroked his beard and nodded slightly, feeling that this disciple of Jingshan Tiger had indeed been taught well by him.
…
But as Kenliang's master, Jingshan Tiger King was a little confused at this time. He was receiving spiritual transmissions from Eagle King Xuanlun and Flying Fish King Tunfeng.
He had not actively contacted these two demon kings for a long time, and they also knew that the Jingshan Tiger King had a problem with them and was unhappy with them.
But if they had known that fighting against outside monks would have such benefits, how could they be afraid of death and not fight?
Who would have thought that heaven would actually bless them!
Isn't this ridiculous?
Originally, Flying Fish King Tun Feng was invited by Hai Lao Gui to go to Hai Wang Palace, where they all refined iron ingots together and helped Yun Bu stay in the outer reaches of the Black Sea to set up formations. The relationship was pretty good.
But after that battle, Yun Buliu became a little unkind to them.
If you don’t want to see him, don’t want to see him! Anyway, Ebi is easy to talk to. If you have anything you don’t understand about practice, go ask him, and he won’t hesitate.
Moreover, compared to Xuanlun, Tunfeng also understood the realm of water. He could completely follow Hai Lao Gui and walk forward along Hai Lao Gui's path.
Eagle King Xuanlun is in a much worse situation. What he comprehends is the field of wind attribute. Among the ten powerful people at the flood level in the world today, excluding three humans, none of the remaining ones are wind attribute.
The Old Ghost of the Sea and the Old Snake Demon Shui Jing are both members of the water attribute; the Old Demon Huqiu is of the illusion path; Madam Fen is of the poison path; Old Ape Yuan Shan is of the fire attribute; even Bai Jia is of the earth rule.
Therefore, this really makes the Eagle King helpless.
The Tiger King of Jingshan regretted it, so why didn’t they?
But if nothing happened, they really didn't want to contact the Tiger King, but this time the seal under the Chishui Abyss in the South China Sea was loosened, and Tunfeng's cultivation level could no longer suppress it.
This seal has been strong for hundreds of years and has reached the end of its life.
After King Tiger learned the news, he was confused whether to contact Yun Buliu or the old snake demon Shui Jing?
Although he can mentally connect with the old snake demon Shui Jing, he can let Shui Jing contact Hai Laogui or Yun Buliu. After all, Shui Jing and Yun Buliu are easier to talk to.
Moreover, Yun Buliu's research on sealing techniques is deeper than that of Hai Laogui, especially after Yun Buliu ran into the sealing well that sealed the God of Death last time.
The Tiger King also knew that Xuanlun and Tunfeng did not directly contact Shui Jing and ask Shui Jing to send a message, but contacted him and asked him to send a message. They did not deliberately embarrass him, but gave him a chance to contact Yun Buliu.
See if we can repair the relationship between them.
After all, there is still some affection between Jingshan Academy and Tiancang Academy.
What made Jingshan Tiger King a little depressed was that when he tried to contact Yun Buliu, he actually couldn't contact him.
King Tiger didn't know that Yun Buliu was staying on the floating island. The floating island was densely covered with formations. It was difficult for people who didn't know the formations to find them.
If this could be easily discovered by the Jingshan Tiger King, then the super formation that Yun Buliu had arranged on the floating island would have been in vain.
Xiaobai was able to contact him easily only because Xiaobai knew how to enter this formation.
Others who are not familiar with it will naturally not be able to find it.
In desperation, Jingshan Tiger King had no choice but to contact the old snake demon Shui Jing.
After Shui Jing received the news, he did not believe in evil and went to Juhe Lake with his mental strength. Naturally, he found nothing like King Tiger.
So, he contacted the giantess from Tiancang Academy.
The giantess conveyed the news to Yun Buliu.
The female giant knew about the all-encompassing phantom formation. After all, this formation originally came from the Honeybee Village, and many of the villagers in the Honeybee Village were in Tiancang College.
Back then, Yun Buliu had arranged a small-scale All-Seeing Illusion Array in the academy!
After receiving the news passed to him by the female giant, Yun Buliu immediately put down the work at hand, left the floating island, transformed into thunder, and swept towards the South China Sea.
The forest sea flows backwards, thousands of mountains fly across, it is close to a hundred thousand miles away, and it takes less than ten breaths.
One moment you were in the vast mountains, and the next moment you were in the magnificent sea.
In the distance, you can see where the sea and the sky meet are dyed red, as if a small sun is about to jump out of the sea.
Yun Buliu's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
After a few breaths, he came to an old man in black robes.
The old man in black robe was none other than the old snake demon Shui Jing. After he conveyed the news to the giantess, he rushed over first. As a result, not long after he arrived, Yun Buliu also arrived.
Below them is an island with a small area but a high altitude. The island is surrounded by cliffs of 100 feet, with only a forest on the top of the island.
On the other side of the woods facing the red boiling sea, there is an ancient building.
This ancient building is the place where Eagle King Xuanlun usually practices.
In fact, that place was originally where the Chishui Pavilion of the ancient sect was located. That ancient building was later restored by Xuanlun based on the architectural plans of the Chishui Pavilion.
On the top of that building, two figures stood. After seeing Yun Buliu appear, they jumped into the air and bowed to Yun Buliu to greet him.
They are Xuanlun, the Eagle King, and Tunfeng, the Flying Fish King.
"Thank you very much, sir, for coming to help regardless of previous suspicions. Please help me, sir, to prevent this sea area from being affected by the Chishui Abyss and causing misery to all living beings." Eagle King Xuanlun bowed and said.
This is a bit high-sounding, but regardless of whether it is true or not, it is still beautiful.
He Yun Buliu is willing to come, so naturally he won't just watch.
So he waved his hand and said: "No need to thank me, I'm not here to help you. The problems left over from ancient times are not your and my personal affairs."
Hearing Yun Buliu's words, Eagle King and Feiyu King couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The old snake demon didn't say much. In fact, as a snake demon, he didn't like the Eagle King very much. He was his enemy back then!
If his cultivation hadn't been higher, life would definitely not have been easy.
Compared to the old Bai Diao Hanhou, this Xuanlun is much more aloof and arrogant.
This was also the deepest impression Xuan Lun had on Yun Buli. He still remembered that when he first saw this Eagle King, it was the scene where he really saw its wings as if they were like clouds hanging from the sky.
Flying Fish King Tunfeng calmed down and sighed: "When the seal of Chishui Abyss was broken, it was very fast. By the time we reacted, the fire and lava in the seal had already gushed out. In the seal behind the fire, there was a faint
The flame demon army is gathering, and its aura is becoming more and more powerful..."
Yun Buliu nodded and said, "I feel it already!"
As he spoke, he looked at the old snake demon Shui Jing, who smiled bitterly, "I am cultivating the law of water attributes. There is really nothing I can do against this demonic fire."
Yun Buliu nodded, jumped like an arrow, and plunged into the sea.
At this time, the sea water was already as hot as boiling water. The water vapor on the sea surface was steaming. Yun Buliu set up a mysterious light outside his body and drilled towards the bottom of the sea. The bottom of the bottom of the sea was already red.
Yun Buliu had never been to Chishui Abyss before, but he heard that Chishui Abyss was very deep, with the deepest point reaching six or seven thousand meters, while this sea city was originally only two or three thousand meters deep.
However, the three to four thousand miles deep Chishui Abyss has been filled with molten magma that overflowed from the seal. The magma is still erupting and spreading towards both sides of the Chishui Abyss.
The originally dark sea bottom was made transparent by the fire, and the sea water was boiling.
This is a wonderful scene, one that Yun Buliu has never seen before.
But behind this wonderful scene, there are many incredible problems hidden.
When Yun Buliu came to the edge of the Red Water Abyss, a dull roar came from the lava, and the lava that was already erupting rushed directly up to hundreds of meters.
A huge red claw stretched out from the lava and grabbed Yun Buliu.
Yun Buliu drew out his big gun and swiped at the giant claw. Although there was resistance from the sea water, he still swept the giant claw to pieces in an instant.
The giant claw retracted, but the roaring sound was even louder, with boundless anger and an inexplicable aura coming from the lava, making Yun Buliu involuntarily look up to the sky and roar.
The surrounding seawater was shaken by his roar and surged away, forming a vacuum zone without seawater around him. But soon, he came back to his senses and stared at Chishui Abyss with some doubts.
This aura was actually very familiar to Yun Buliu. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that this was the aura of destruction that he had been searching for in the thunder.
He didn't find it strange, because it could be known from some ancient ruins that demons like the Balrog were born for destruction. Wherever they passed, there was no grass growing on the ground for thousands of miles.
Look at this lava again. Where it flows, what kind of grass can survive?
It is normal for a creature born for destruction to carry the aura of destruction.
But what's abnormal is that this aura of destruction actually affected him just now.
Just when Yun Buliu was thinking about this, several huge heads slowly protruded out of the lava-like lake. Those heads were made of rocks and looked like stone giants.
Inside the two huge eye holes were two groups of red-gold flames. Several giant claws stretched out from the surface of the magma lake and pressed on it. The huge body slowly crawled out of the magma lake.
Seeing their slow movements, Yun Buliu moved his body and rushed towards them with a big gun. In a flash, he appeared on one of the huge heads. He raised his long gun and pointed at the people at his feet.
Huo Yan stabbed it in the head.
bite……
Sparks flew everywhere, making Yun Buliu somewhat surprised by the defensive power of these fire giants.
Ordinary rocks don't require much force from him. Under this big gun, they are as tender as tofu.
But these fire giants could actually withstand a casual poke from his big gun.
So he picked up a big gun and changed it from poking to smashing.
Just when Yun Buliu raised the big gun again, a huge claw had already swatted at the huge head at his feet, as if swatting a fly.
Yun Buliu waved his hand casually, and swung the big gun towards the big paw. This time, he smashed the big paw into pieces, then jumped up and smashed the big gun in his hand against the head at his feet.
Bah...
The huge head was obviously harder than the giant claws, and the claws could be easily shattered by him, but the fiery rock head was only cracked by him.
This alone shows how resistant these Balrogs are to being beaten.
And the aura they gave him felt like nothing more than a desolate environment.
Yun Buliu couldn't help but marvel. You must know that although there are some restrictions on his power in this sea water, the restrictions are actually not big. After all, he is also a Hong-level monk. It is easy to imagine how strong he is.
The resistance of the sea water is completely negligible to him.
But he hit it hard, with at least 70% to 80% strength, but it only cracked the head.
This makes people marvel at how hard this head is.
However, when Yun Buliu was shocked, a head turned towards him, opened its mouth and spit out a stream of magma at him, like a red horse.
Yun Buliu raised his hand and waved towards the lava hanging, and a burst of energy rolled back the red horse. Then he smashed the big gun in his hand with all his strength, smashing the head under his feet.
A ray of flame floated out from the head and floated towards the other fire rock giant next door.
The fire rock giant opened its mouth to inhale the flame into its belly, and then saw the body of the fire rock giant expand. The magma under his feet surged towards his body, making its body even bigger, but it seemed
But not bloated.
This made Yun Buliu couldn't help but think of when they were exterminating the undead creatures that rushed out of the Well of the Abyss. After those undead creatures were killed, some of the energy rushed into the bodies of other undead creatures, and some of it was gathered together.
The Lord of the Abyss created a huge army of undead creatures; the Lord of Slaughter cultivated a huge army of sea beasts on the other side of the Sea of Bitterness; the Lord of Death directly affected human beings. Although he did not create an army that could influence the situation, those who were affected
The number of humans is even greater; only the Lord of Fear is easier to deal with, he is a loner, and he bullies him to no avail.
Now, this flame demon that rushed out of the Red Water Abyss actually felt like an undead creature, which made Yun Buliu a little suspicious.
Moreover, the aura of destruction that filled this space could actually affect his spirit, which made him have to wonder whether these Balrogs were the army controlled by the Lord of Destruction?
…
When Yun Buliu was doubtful and fighting hard with these fire rock giants crawling out of the Red Water Abyss, the figure of Hai Lao Gui also appeared next to the old snake demon Shui Jing.
Several other Hong-level old monsters who vaguely felt that the atmosphere here was somewhat different, put their mental power here and got in touch with Hai Laogui and the others.
In the City of Ten Thousand Monsters, Furqiu, who was teaching some monster beasts in class, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the south. The next moment, he put down the book in his hand and ran outside. In a flash, he reached the roof of the building, and then
I closed my eyes and sat silently on the roof of the building, letting the wind blow.
After a long time, it opened its eyes and murmured, "Strange! Why did there seem to be a mysterious voice calling me just now?"
"Brother Qiu, what happened?"
Huzi, who was listening to the class, saw Maoqiu throw down his book and run out, so he followed him.
Maoqiu shook his little head and finally said: "Huzi, I'm going to the south. If you run into Yun Buliu when you go back at night, just tell him!"
"Brother Qiu, will everything be okay? Why don't I go back to find the owner now?"
Maoqiu thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine! I'll go over first to check the situation."
The little furball shook his little head, turned into lightning, and flew towards the south.
The further south the little fur ball flew, the more it felt a force calling it, causing it to speed up involuntarily, like thunder, traveling thousands of miles in an instant.
…
However, it still took a lot of time for the little furball to get from the City of Ten Thousand Demons to the South China Sea and then to the island where Chishui Pavilion was located. This was an unprecedented speed for it to travel.
In the past, when I went out, I would stand on Yun Buliu's shoulder and let Yun Buliu carry it.
Now when I go out, I always ride on Huzi's head and let Huzi carry it.
There are relatively few times when it is actually on its way.
When it arrived at that place, it was already dark, but the sky was already shrouded in red, as if the night sky was on fire.
"Little furball, why are you here?"
Everyone had already discovered the little fur ball before it arrived at the island. However, they saw that the little fur ball did not seem to notice them, but flew towards the red sea area. The old ghost appeared in front of it and took it
He took it into his hand and asked.
The little fur ball came back to his senses and looked at Hai Lao Gui, his eyes a little dazed.
Seeing it like this, Old Ghost Ebi said: "Don't worry! Sir, nothing will happen to you. Although it has been a long time since Sir went to the sea, there are still sounds of fighting under the sea. Listen carefully..."
He thought Maoqiu was worried about Yun Buliu.
The sound of the waves was replaced by the sound of boiling water, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint roaring and clanking sounds coming from the sound of boiling water.
Moreover, you don't need to listen to the sound, you can see clearly by using your mental power to probe downwards.
However, Hai Laogui did not suggest it do this, "Don't use your spiritual sense to probe!"
After the little fur ball came to its senses, the old ghost in time stopped it from releasing its mental power.
Little Furball looked at him doubtfully, and Old Ghost explained: "This sea area has been shrouded by a force, and your spiritual consciousness is easily affected by it. Your cultivation level is lower..."
"Yun Buliu is already here?" Maoqiu finally came to his senses and asked.
Hai Lao Gui was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, just a little worried, "Maoqiu, are you okay?"
Usually the fur ball is very agile, but it is rare to see him so dull like now.
Maoqiu shook his head and said, "I'm fine. What happened here?"
"Didn't Sir tell you?" Hai Lao Gui became even more confused.
Furball stretched out his little paw, wiped the purple fur between his eyebrows, and said: "I came directly from Ten Thousand Monsters City. It seemed that I had a telepathic feeling. Something bad might have happened here, so I asked Hu
I went back to inform Yun Buliu, but I didn’t expect that it was already here.”
Although the little furball's miraculous induction could not clear up the doubts of the old ghost, he still said: "Chishuiyuan knows! It's down here. Now that the seal of Chishuiyuan has been broken, the fire demons inside are about to rush out and cause harm to all directions. Sir, he is stopping those fire demons below.
Woolen cloth!"
Hearing this, the little fur ball couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
