The Buddhist monk was very hesitant at first, but after some negotiation and weighing, he finally agreed to send them to the sealing port.
The seal of the gate to another world is on the bottom floor. I imagine it would be pitch black there, with only a little dim light in the air, and the atmosphere would be even more depressing than the previous floor.
Reality often has more room for development than imagination. As soon as Tong Yan arrived at the bottom, he was almost blinded by a burst of light.
She quickly turned her face away, blocking the dazzling light with her hands, and carefully looked over with her peripheral vision, trying to see clearly what was happening in front of her.
There were two sounds of tearing cloth, and Gu Yuqi quickly handed over a black cloth strip. Judging from its material and the rough edges, it was obvious that he had just torn it off from his clothes.
Tong Yan was just a moment away from picking it up, but Gu Yuqi seemed to be impatient with the wait, and raised his other hand, "Forget it, I'll tie it for you."
When she was about to open her mouth to refute, he said first: "Close your eyes."
After such an interruption, her eyes were covered with black cloth, so what else could she say?
After a short period of adaptation, Tong Yan quickly got used to seeing through the black cloth. With the blessing of divine consciousness, the things he saw were much clearer than the blur he imagined.
If I had to make a metaphor, it would be similar to the way the sky is not bright at five or six o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that Gu Yuqi was almost done wearing it, Tong Yan cast his eyes on the formation in front of him.
At first glance, it feels big, very, very big. The ground is an endless array of ripples, stretching away without a single dark spot.
Eight pillars of light shot up from the 'floor' constructed of array pictures and texts, occupying eight directions respectively, and a giant Tai Chi diagram rotated above the head.
The pictures and texts above and below complement each other, radiating light, and coupled with intricately surrounded runes, this is clearly a heavenly palace of uncanny craftsmanship.
The runes flowing on it were dizzying just by looking at them. Even Gu Yuqi couldn't take a closer look at the formation at this time.
Coming from the hands of Heaven, in addition to its own power, the formation also carries the power of Heaven and the power of rules. This is the reason why people are unwilling to look at it for a long time.
Although they were unable to penetrate even a tiny bit of the sealing formation, this did not prevent them from checking whether there was any unusual movement somewhere.
I spent a lot of time surveying the periphery, and the results showed that everything was normal. In the end, only the center position was left.
After entering, I realized that there were two completely different worlds inside and outside the formation.
The turbid air inside accumulates like dark clouds, and the pressure increases layer by layer for unknown reasons. The thick and closed environment makes the depressed person almost breathless.
As bright as it is outside, it is as dark inside, as if all the turbid air from the outside is squeezed into this small space.
The two people standing side by side had a bright lamp burning in front of them. It was given to them by the Buddhist cultivator when they came down, saying that it might be of use.
At this moment, Tong Yan greatly admired the foresight of the Buddhist predecessors. This thing that emits Buddha light can illuminate the way and drive away the turbid air. It is simply not very useful!
Putting aside these digressions, once inside, even Tong Yan's cultivation level easily discovered that there was something restless hidden in this darkness.
Does it exist by itself, or is it a parasite that has been cultivated due to too much turbidity?
Are they also responsible for the abnormal movement of the seal formation?
Nothing is known yet.
While thinking and walking, Tong Yan suddenly found that the field of vision in front of her suddenly brightened up. She saw unfamiliar yet familiar mountains in front of her, moss-covered stone roads, and rows of disciples waving to her in front of them.
Isn't this Tianqing Mountain where she came... to stay? The people in front of her are all elders and disciples she knows well on the mountain.
By the way, she went down the mountain to play today, but she came back late!
Tong Yan subconsciously walked towards them, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.
What is it...
A sudden snap of her fingers shattered the scene in front of her, the familiar people and objects disappeared in the blink of an eye, and her vision returned to darkness again.
"They will confuse the mind." Gu Yuqi's voice reminded from the side.
Tong Yan followed her hand and looked over. It turned out that she had suddenly quickened her pace just now, which had affected the thread between the two.
Use the thread that was connected to the cloth strips that covered their eyes before.
When entering this darkness, Gu Yuqi tied it up on the grounds that he was not clear about the situation inside, so as to avoid getting lost and to cope with emergencies.
For the sake of his own life and safety, Tong Yan believed him anyway.
"Just now, where did you want to go?" Gu Yuqi suddenly asked.
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, but then she realized that what he was actually asking was what she had just seen and why she wanted to leave.
"Where I lived as a child."
Gu Yuqi seemed to suddenly become interested, "Where exactly is it? What does it look like?"
"It's... near the secret realm of Xiao Kunyuan." That's where she came out of the small world. It's said to be near the secret realm. Is there anything wrong with it?
"Do you still have any relatives alive in this world? Have you ever gone back?" Gu Yuqi had the tendency to talk endlessly.
"It's been so many years, and I don't know if they are still alive." Tong Yan didn't want to continue chatting, so he decided to go home with her to meet her parents.
So after speaking, she immediately changed the topic, "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's solve the formation issue first."
Although Tong Yan's reminder was a bit abrupt, there was no problem. Gu Yuqi glanced at her face and didn't ask any more questions.
Did Gu Yuqi want to meet Tong Yan's parents and elders? He was undoubtedly thinking at this moment that if his mother were alive, she would try her best to make the two of them meet.
Why do I say this moment? Because before this, his understanding of her started from the fact that she was a disciple of the Mosha Sect. In addition, he lost his mother when he was young, and there was almost no concept of relatives and parents in his childhood memories.
He thought that it would be enough if his master approved of her. He thought that all he needed was her master's approval.
Tong Yan suddenly mentioned that she was a child, which suddenly aroused his thirst for knowledge and curiosity about what she looked like when she was a child.
It's just a pity that now is not a good time for a long conversation.
Gu Yuqi lowered his eyelashes lightly, suppressing the slight restlessness in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, and fixed his eyes on a shadow outside the layers of black clouds.
Then a bolt of lightning struck, it was extremely sharp, the shadow shook slightly, and disappeared the moment the lightning touched it.
His sudden move made Tong Yan look over, "What was there just now?"
"A phantom, like a small monster." Gu Yuqi frowned slightly. With the blow just now, he could feel that the lightning did not hit the target.
Just like being hit in the air, the phantom dispersed as soon as it touched the lightning, then melted into the surrounding black mist and disappeared without a trace.
What is it?
Not long after that, I encountered such phantoms again. It was strange that they did not seem to attack or have any consciousness. From being discovered to disappearing, it only took a short breath of time, and their elusive traces were comparable to the ghosts in the TV series.
Tong Yan has attacked them many times, and they disperse the moment he encounters them. It seems that apart from confusing the mind, these phantoms have no aggression.
Could the abnormal movement of the sealing formation really be the work of these incorporeal ‘ghosts’ who can’t even defend or attack?
