Chapter 157 The soul of the dead a hundred years ago
I don’t know how long it took before Ji Tianxing woke up leisurely.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw clearly that he was lying on the cold ground.
This is a darkly lit secret room filled with the smell of corruption and blood.
With the faint light of the stone lamp in the corner, he looked around and finally saw the surrounding scene clearly.
He was the only one in the secret room, and a powerful formation was deployed.
The stinging pain coming from his internal organs made him feel burning pain even when he breathed. There were still blood stains in his mouth and nose, and there was a strong smell of blood.
He wanted to use Qigong to heal his injuries, but several acupuncture points on his body were sealed, making him unable to use his true energy at all.
Although he can move freely, his true energy is sealed, and he cannot break the formation of the secret room, making it impossible to escape.
He sat on the cold ground, frowned and murmured: "The damn witch didn't kill me, but locked me in this secret room? What did she want to do?"
Ji Tianxing calmed down, silently observed the secret room, and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
However, there was nothing in the secret room, no clues could be seen, and there was silence outside the secret room.
The darkness and silence made Ji Tianxing surprisingly calm and silently meditating.
"I don't know what time it is now? Have Yunyao and Bai Wuchen escaped?"
"Both of them are elite geniuses in their own sect and are very powerful. They should be fine, right?"
"No, I can't sit still and wait for death, I must find a way to escape from here!"
To escape from the secret room, he must first unlock the acupuncture points and restore his true energy and strength.
Then, he had to decipher the formation in the secret room.
However, he was stumped at the first level.
The witch used secret techniques to seal his acupuncture points, preventing his true energy from functioning.
He thought hard for a long time and tried several ways to unblock the acupoints, but failed to unlock the acupoints.
There is no way, the witch's seal on his acupoints is so powerful that not even a Tongxuan master can undo it.
Ji Tianxing could only place his hope in the sword fetus and pray that the sword fetus could create a miracle.
He tried to activate the sword energy, and after several efforts, he finally activated two toothpick-like sword energy.
Although his acupuncture points were sealed, true energy could not flow through his meridians and acupoints.
But those two sword energy could swim slowly and flow towards the sealed acupoints.
Next, Ji Tianxing began to control the two sword energies, carefully attacking the sealed acupoints.
Although the process was painful, it was like he was cutting his own flesh with a knife.
But his strength is low and he cannot directly unblock the acupoints. This is the only way.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed.
Ji Tianxing endured great pain and finally unlocked the first acupuncture point.
"Great! My sword energy can indeed unlock the acupoints!"
He was in high spirits and continued to control the sword energy to attack the second sealed acupoint.
Another half an hour passed, and the second acupuncture point was also unlocked.
Although Ji Tianxing was mentally exhausted, the immense pain caused him to break out in cold sweat.
But he didn't stop at all and began to unblock the third and fourth acupoints.
Soon, two hours passed.
All four of his acupuncture points sealed by the witch were finally released!
When all the acupoints were unlocked, it was like a blocked water pipe being unclogged, and the true energy in Ji Tianxing's body resumed flowing.
He stood up and moved his aching body to check the injuries on his body.
He took out an elixir from his treasure bag, took it, used his kung fu to refine the potency of the elixir, and silently treated his injuries.
Then, he carefully observed the formation in the secret room, hoping to crack the formation.
But at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a wisp of gray mist floating in the corner of the secret room.
The light in the secret room was dim and he didn't see clearly, so he didn't pay attention and continued to observe the formation.
However, a weak old man's voice suddenly sounded and was clearly imprinted in his mind.
"Boy, are you a descendant of the Ji family?"
Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the gray fog in the corner.
He walked closer and took a closer look, only to realize that the gray mist was the same as those souls sealed in the crystal ball.
"Whoa!"
The gray mist surged a few times and immediately turned into a palm-sized old man in blue robe, floating in front of him.
Ji Tianxing couldn't help but frown, and murmured in a low voice in confusion: "Didn't Senior Sister free all those sealed souls? Why is there another one here?"
He suddenly remembered that when Bai Wuchen was rescuing the soul in the last crystal ball, the demon guards rushed into the secret room.
Then, they fought with the demon guards and hurriedly fought their way out of the secret room.
Bai Wuchen seemed to have only cracked half of the formation of the last crystal ball.
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing suddenly understood everything.
He looked at the blue-robed old man in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Senior, since you have escaped the seal of the magic weapon, why don't you reincarnate?"
The old man in blue robe stared at him and said solemnly: "I have not reincarnated, but I came here to see you. I have something to ask you."
"Boy, are you a descendant of the Qingyun Guoji family?"
Ji Tianxing didn't know what he wanted to do, but guessed that he meant no harm, so he answered truthfully: "Exactly."
The old man in blue robe showed a hint of joy and continued to ask: "Is it the Ji family, one of the four major aristocratic families in the Imperial City, whose profession is weapon forging?"
"Of course." Ji Tianxing nodded and asked: "Senior, do you know about the Ji family? Or do you have any connection with the Ji family?"
The old man in blue robe smiled and nodded: "I have more than a connection with the Ji family! To be precise, I was once a member of the Ji family."
"Ji family?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression on his face, "Senior, who are you?"
The old man in blue robe said seriously: "I am a close follower of the first generation head of the Ji family, and he was also the chief steward of the Ji family."
"Originally, I have a foreign surname. I received the grace of my master and gave me the surname Ji. Therefore, my surname is Ji and Wenxiang."
Suddenly hearing Ji Wenxiang's words, Ji Tianxing was even more surprised, with an incredible expression on his face.
"The first generation head of the Ji family? Isn't that the ancestor of our Ji family?"
"Senior, are you my ancestor's trusted butler? However, my ancestor has been missing for more than a hundred years!"
Ji Wenxiang nodded and said: "Yes, after I followed the master of the family and left the Qingyun Kingdom, I encountered an ambush attack by the demons and died in the battle with the demons."
"The master of the family is missing, and my soul was extracted by the strong demon clan, and I cannot be reincarnated."
"To date, my soul has been imprisoned here for more than one hundred and twenty years!"
Ji Tianxing didn't know much about what happened a hundred years ago. Apart from knowing that the ancestor of the Ji family was named Ji Yuanlong, he knew nothing about anything else.
Now, after hearing Ji Wenxiang's words, he was shocked and at the same time became more confused.
"Senior, why did the demons attack you? Why has your soul been imprisoned by the demons for more than a hundred years?"
