Arriving at the crevice on the sea floor, Shi Liuli looked down and felt an astonishing heat rushing towards her face, as if it was about to scorch her hair. She only hesitated for a moment, and soon jumped and fell into the crack in the ground.
.
The surface of the surrounding rock walls is foamy, which should be caused by some kind of corrosive seawater flowing over the years. Combined with the unusual surrounding temperature, it can be basically judged that there is a ground fire.
Earth fire is not common in the East China Sea and usually appears near the end of spiritual veins.
Shi Liuli carefully recalled the feng shui around her, and felt that it was unlikely to be some ancient immortal cave, and that it was more likely to be naturally formed. She carefully reached down, holding the Ziji Hanyuan Sword in her right hand to guard the surroundings, and grabbed the copper plate in her left hand and started silently
Gua.
According to the hexagrams, there seems to be traces of illusions disrupting the direction nearby, which is the so-called "mountains and rivers returning". If that's all it is, it wouldn't be difficult to decipher it.
But if the person who releases the illusion is in the depths, adjusting and changing the illusion in real time, Shi Liuli has no confidence that he can beat the opponent - after all, she is not specialized in this field, and she cannot be immersed in this way with others for hundreds of years.
compared to experts.
After just thinking for a moment, Shi Liuli suddenly closed his eyes.
She used her consciousness to seal off her senses. At this time, both her vision and hearing were completely disabled.
In the silent darkness, Shi Liuli held the copper plate in his hand, shook it for a moment, and carefully touched the grain of the copper plate with his fingertips to distinguish the pros and cons.
She plans to completely abandon perception and only use the results of the hexagram to determine the direction of walking - no matter how clever the illusion is, and it can confuse perception without being discovered, it can't tamper with the result of my hexagram, right?
In this way, Shi Liuli cautiously headed deeper. Near the ground fire in the depths, the Kunlun Mirror suddenly made a sound. "What's wrong?" Chen Guanshui asked nervously.
"Nothing." Kunlun Jing stood up, "I'm going out for a while."
"What are you going out for?" Chen Guanshuihu asked, wondering if Ah Jing wanted to run away again? Oh, I still have the fragments of the Sky Mending Stone in my hand, so it shouldn't be possible.
"Go out and use the restroom." Kunlun looked at the mirror and said without changing his expression.
This is such a lame excuse. Why do you still need to use the toilet when you have a mirror?
Chen Guanshui knew that she was telling him "Don't ask too many questions" in disguise, so he didn't say anything. He just continued to fine-tune the formation and change the heating rate of the Sky-Mending Stone.
Kunlun Mirror left the depths and walked carefully along the winding corridor, then passed through a shaft and entered the diagonally upward cross-cutting corridor. It happened to see Shi Liuli walking down along the natural corridor.
Her state at this time was very strange: her eyes were closed tightly and she did not explore the surrounding rock walls to determine the terrain. She just slowly took a few steps forward, then stopped, clasped her hands and shook them, and then continued to move forward.
Use fortune-telling to avoid confusion of perception by illusions? Kunlun Jing just thought about it briefly and immediately understood what she was doing, and immediately couldn't help but admire her.
At least if it were you, you definitely wouldn't be able to think of such a way to crack it.
Now that the other party has completely abandoned perception, it will definitely not work to use Jing Hua Shui Yue again, unless she directly modifies her perception of the hexagrams - but Kunlun Jing has not done much in-depth research on this kind of iron-clad divine calculation. If she rashly designs false results, there is a high probability that
Shi Liuli, who is proficient in arithmetic, will find something wrong.
Thinking of this, Kunlun Jing suddenly had an idea.
She quietly walked forward and grabbed Shi Liuli's hand.
Shi Liuli felt someone touching her wrist. She was startled at first, thinking to herself, could it be that bastard?
But soon I realized something was wrong, because from the touch point of view, the other person's skin was delicate, smooth, and had a little warmth...it was obviously a woman's hand.
She did not open her eyes rashly, but quickly shook her hands again to make the copper plate start to change again.
According to the hexagram results, the other party was not an illusion. Only then did Shi Liuli carefully open his eyes and see clearly the other party's appearance.
This is a young female monk, wearing a long goose-yellow dress, with black hair, fixed with a hairpin, looking extremely fresh and capable. Her facial features are regular and beautiful, like most female monks, they are hard to find.
What blemishes are there on a beautiful face?
appearance.
It is worth noting that the other party's face seems to have some baby fat, a little plumper than the faces of most female monks, and looks youthful and cute. "I have met fellow Taoist Dongyou." Kunlun Jing said with a smile.
"Do you know me?" Shi Liuli asked with a frown, "Fellow Taoist is..."
"Just call me 'Yao Tai'." Kunlun Jing said this, then held her arm affectionately and said, "Fellow Taoist Dongyou, let's talk here."
Shi Liuli's left arm was hugged by her, and her face looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed, as if her nasal cavity had been stimulated by citrus juice. She wanted to take her arm out, but Kunlun Mirror had already seen her pulled into the stone room next to her, and asked with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist, are you here to look for water?"
"Guan Shui?" Shi Liuli wanted to deny it, but stopped when the words reached her lips. After a long time, she asked in deep thought:
"Is his... real name Guan Shui?"
"Well, yes." Kunlun Jing said with a smile.
"Is he refining the Sky Mending Stone?" Shi Liuli continued to ask.
"That's right." Kunlun Mirror admitted frankly, "It uses the ground fire below us."
"Of course, most of our current conditions are better than those of Nuwa in the past. The only shortcoming is that there is no star fire, so we can only use the earth fire deep underground to smelt..."
She explained the many matters involved in smelting the Sky Mending Stone in detail to Shi Liuli. Although the latter looked confused, he still forced himself to remember it hard.
After listening to everything, Shi Liuli sighed:
"This method of smelting the Sky-Mending Stone is really complex and difficult. It is the most complicated magic weapon in the world to refine, but it is not as good as this." "That is natural." Kunlun Mirror nodded and said, "The Sky-Mending Stone is after all
It is to repair the sky, and the sky is where the great road condenses, and it is inevitable that it will be complex and difficult."
"But compared to smelting the Sky-Matching Stone..." Shi Liuli's voice paused for a moment and suddenly said, "It's actually the most difficult to collect the Sky-Matching Stone fragments that were originally scattered everywhere, right?"
Kunlun Mirror remained calm and nodded: "Indeed, thanks to Guan Shui." Shi Liuli fell silent.
It's not that she couldn't tell that the other party and the "Guan Shui" must have some kind of very close relationship.
But considering Xu Yinglian, An Zhisu, Jiang Li'an, etc... It doesn't matter how many more people there are. Anyway, let's settle the accounts after the fall of the same country. "What do you call this fellow Taoist?" Shi Liuli reorganized his thoughts, and then
asked.
"Just call me 'Yaochi'."
"Fellow Taoist Yaochi." Shi Liuli tried to make his expression appear sincere, "Actually, I am not here to hinder you." "When there is a big disaster, mending the sky is something we have to do, let alone
If there is great merit in it, how can I prevent him from attaining enlightenment?"
"But I really don't want him to deliberately avoid me anymore, and he is not even willing to admit his identity in person." At this point, Shi Liuli's pear blossoms were filled with rain, and she cried secretly, "I thought we had known each other for so many years, but unexpectedly...
In his mind, am I the kind of woman who is not worthy of trust?"
Kunlun Mirror couldn't bear it and could only apologize in embarrassment.
It's just about patching the sky, so of course there's nothing to say about it. No matter Shi Liuli or other female cultivators, they will never kill their relatives for the sake of the sect... But the problem lies in the "other female cultivators"!
If you were to know about the existence of other junior sisters, how could you say anything about "entrusting trust" here? It would be good if you didn't stab him to death with a sword iト
Of course, he is still needed to smelt the Sky Mending Stone, so Kunlun Mirror cannot dismantle him in front of Shi Liuli. He just comforted Shi Liuli and said:
"I can't say what he really thinks. But I think some things should be communicated clearly in person." "After all, the person you knew in the past was Luo Yan, but now Chen Guanshui, you don't have it at all.
You understand, don’t you?”
"That's true." Shi Liuli wiped away her tears and secretly hated herself: It turns out that this "Yaochi" girl knows everything!
If there is anything more serious than cheating on your wife, it is cheating on your wife and telling another person about it at the same time.
Women... the anger value that the latter can generate may be more than ten times that of the former.
But she still held back the attack very well, and just made a vivid note in the small book of grudges in her heart. Chen Guanshui, right? Okay, you wait, I will finish the business first...
Following Kunlun Mirror forward, Shi Liuli was a little angry at first and her legs were shaking, but she finally managed to control her emotions and just memorized the route carefully. After passing through the deep shaft and winding corridors, she finally came to the side of the Earth Fire Abyss.
Chen Guanshui is still fine-tuning the formation, probably because although the earth fire is not as hot as the fire of the stars, it is also a ferocious and brutal type. Sometimes the heat erupts directly outwards, and can even break through the control threshold of the formation.
He was thinking about adding an additional auxiliary formation when he suddenly saw Kunlun Mirror and Shi Liuli walking into the cave talking and laughing. Chen Guanshui was almost frightened and jumped into the fire.
What kind of hell drawing is this?
To be honest, Chen Guanshui wouldn't be surprised if the two of them took out kitchen knives to chop each other in the next second, but this harmonious scene in the harem seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.
"Ah Jing!" He quickly transmitted the message into the secret, "What are you doing!" Probably because of excessive nervousness, even his voice was a bit high-pitched.
"Don't worry." Kunlun Mirror took the credit proudly, "I have already taken care of your wife. She said she is willing to help us smelt the Sky Mending Stone!" Chen Guanshui:???
Whose wife are you going to get? Tell me again!
But if you think about it carefully, this broken mirror is too pure in some aspects, and I probably never thought about it having any other meanings... Before he could say anything, Shi Liuli had silently walked up to him, staring at him.
Take a sharp look at his appearance.
"Fellow Taoist, what are you looking at..." Chen Guanshui just opened his mouth when Shi Liuli frowned and said:
"Still calling you 'Fellow Taoist'? She told me in Yaochi, Luo Yan... No, I should call you Guan Shui, right?" Chen Guanshui suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart: After all, I didn't expect it.
Ah Jing actually rebelled!
"Husband, you don't need to be too afraid." Shi Liuli continued, "There is great merit in mending the sky. How can I stop you from doing it?"
After saying that, she looked at the fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone in the Earth Fire and said:
"It's okay to use formations to control the heat of earth fire, but don't forget that there is a difference between water and fire. Water moistens the water and penetrates every hole, so it can only be guided, but it is difficult to block it. But on the fire, the more you try to control it, the more you try to control it.
, the more likely it is to suffer backlash.”
Chen Guanshui wanted to find fault, but he thought that Lady Liuli was an expert in sword-making and was many times better at high-temperature smelting than he was who played with array programming, so he kept silent.
"To better utilize the smelting effect, we first need to build a sword furnace." Shi Liuli continued. "A furnace, right?" Chen Guanshui asked, "What material can withstand the temperature of the earth fire?"
"If you can't bear it, then why didn't the rock wall next to the earth fire melt?" Shi Liuli asked back. Chen Guanshui was speechless for a moment.
"First use your formation to guide the earth fire, let the heat focus, and drill a hole in the rock wall next to it." Shi Liuli thought for a moment and said, "I will design the specific hole layout for you."
The couple worked together and quickly started working together. Looking at the Kunlun Mirror behind them, they also had kind smiles on their faces. They thought that they had done something right by bringing this Shi Liuli here.
Just relying on Chen Guanshui, who loves to show off his strength, and tinker with all his various formations, I don't know how long it will take to smelt it! Shi Liuli's "Sword Furnace" is more reliable.
Chen Guanshui didn't know that Kunlun Mirror was still complacent. He just listened to Shi Liuli's design and secretly observed her face. Shi Liuli had no expression on her face.
Although she had no expression, relying on Luo Yan's past memories, Chen Guanshui became more and more sure that Madam Liuli's heart at this time was definitely not as peaceful as her face.
Since the death of Elder Shi Ding, Lady Liuli has changed from extrovert to introvert at first, but as long as she asks a few more questions, there will always be some emotion on her face... How can she be like this now?
Jin's face, as if to say "get away"?
"Ahem." Chen Guanshui thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to calm down his wife first, then slowly said, "Actually... I also have my own reasons."
"Yeah, I know." Shi Liuli said absently, "This sword furnace may need to be modified. I just thought about it. If it is placed at a high place, the heat must be directed at all times, which is difficult to control. It is better to lower the position of the furnace.
···
"Liu Li, are you listening?" Chen Guanshui asked helplessly.
"I heard it." Shi Liuli waved his hand and said, "Yaochi has already told me, you don't need to explain it again." "What did she... tell you?" Chen Guanshui was a little nervous.
"Basically, I've said it all." Shi Liuli paused for a moment, suddenly raised her head to look at her husband, raised her eyebrows and said, "However, considering that she may have leaked something, why don't you tell me the whole story in detail?
Shall I say it again?"
Chen Guanshui was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he wanted to slap himself.
