Chapter 632: Wen Renqian

Gu Shiyi knew nothing about magic arrays.
"Then...how do we solve it?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Although the center of the formation is erratic, it also has certain operating rules, and it cannot escape the Zhoutian Bagua. But I don't know whether it is positive or negative... I still need to slowly explore... You go to the Qian position and guard it... When you see it appear, send me a message..."

The two separated as they were told, and sure enough, not long after, Gu Shiyi saw the fleeting white light at the Qian position, and soon after ran to the Xun position where Pu Yanlan was. The two of them stayed at various positions, and it took them more than half an incense stick of time to figure out the pattern of the formation's rotation.

Pu Yanlan calculated the opportunity and sacrificed her golden hairpin. The hairpin turned into a golden rainbow and inserted into the Kan position. With a flash of golden light, the white dot lit up.
"Om..."

The golden light sank into the white dot, and the white dot disappeared in a flash, and the golden rainbow also disappeared with it. Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows, and Gu Shiyi asked softly,

"How about it?"

Pu Yanlan didn't say anything. She raised her hand and pointed at the lamp floating in the air.
"point……"

The bright flame immediately split into two, and one of them also flashed and disappeared in the air.

"My golden hairpin has already caught up with the center of the formation. Now I'm going to add fuel to the fire..."

While talking,
"boom……"

With a sound, the ground beneath their feet shook, and the emerald green in front of them gradually dimmed, as if the color of the picture was fading. Then the scene in front of them changed, and they returned to the closed door again.

"It's done!"

Gu Shiyi was delighted, while Pu Yanlan narrowed her eyes and saw the golden hairpin and oil lamp floating in the air not far from them.

"receive!"

After the magic weapon was taken back, Gu Shiyi had already kicked the door open.
"call……"

As the door opened, an extremely hot breath rushed towards them. Even Gu Shiyi couldn't help but take a step back. He and Pu Yanlan were both surprised and said,

"When did this Brahma Flame become so fierce!"

When they came here before, they already felt that the lake of fire was difficult to cross. Only now did they realize that the fire before was all gentle. Now this fire, at a distance of three to five feet, even with Gu Shiyi's strong body, felt a stinging pain on his skin!

"Yan'er, this... may be a little difficult to handle!"

Gu Shiyi's face changed color. She turned back to look at Pu Yanlan and found that her best friend's face was also pale. The Dragon Soul didn't dare to show its head at this time. It was trembling in the demon-subduing pestle on Gu Shiyi's waist.
"Gu Shiyi, you must not force your way in. Even if you get through, I will be melted in it!"

Although he was a real dragon before he died, he is now a ghost without a physical body. If he enters such a powerful Buddhist fire, his soul will be torn apart!
Gu Shiyi stepped back with a serious expression, closed the door again, and looked at Pu Yanlan.

"What should we do now? Hide the dragon soul in the medicine garden and take it out?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"The dragon soul can hide in there, but we can't. With the fierceness of the Brahma flames now, I'm afraid we'll have to use all our magic weapons..."

She felt a little sad when she said this. The magic weapons they had obtained from the Baekje Sect before were numerous in number but of varying quality, some good and some bad. She had used them all up one after another. Later, the few good ones she got from the Demon Realm could be called magic weapons. She had accidentally destroyed the revolving lantern in Yaoguang City before, which had made her sad for a long time. If she used up all the magic weapons in her hand in order to cross the Fire Lake, she would be heartbroken!
Gu Shiyi felt the fierceness of the Brahma flames and was grumbling in his heart.
"I don't have many magic weapons. I am confident that I can hold on with just my scales and demonic power. However, I am afraid that I will have to use up most of my demonic power before I can get out. This is really too much of a loss!"

The two best friends' eyes met. After so many years of companionship, as soon as the other one raised his butt, they both knew what was going to happen. When their eyes met, they immediately understood what the other meant!

"Move forward!"

The two of them made up their minds and turned to go to the small courtyard where the alchemy furnace was. They passed through the large courtyard full of scattered bones, passed the moon gate, bypassed the ground where flames were bursting, and passed through another moon gate. In front of them was a main hall, with side rooms on the left and right. Gu Shiyi pushed open the door of the main hall with a creak. This should be the room for preparing medicines when refining the alchemy. There was a long and wide wooden table in the middle, and wooden shelves on all sides. Countless bottles and jars were placed on it. The bottles were labeled with standards in black words on yellow paper. Gu Shiyi saw at a glance that two bottles were missing from the neatly arranged row of bottles.

"Hey... did the person who came before take the elixir?"

These people are so bold that they dare to throw anything of unknown origin into their mouths. If it is written on the label that it is a spiritual tonic, does it really mean it is a spiritual tonic?

She turned around and saw Pu Yanlan looking at the whole shelf of bamboo slips on the east bookshelf with shining eyes. She walked over and took out a scroll, slowly unfolded it, and quickly read it through. She said happily,

"It's actually an ancient recipe..."

He opened the scroll next to it and was even more delighted. "It turned out to be the recipe for the Infant-Shaping Pill. This recipe has long been lost on the mainland, and many of the ingredients have also become extinct. I didn't expect it to be found here..."

In Pu Yanlan's opinion, the recipes on this bookshelf alone were worth their risk.

"It seems... it's a good thing we turned back!"

Seeing this, Gu Shiyi said,

"If it's useful, then collect them all and take them out to think about them later!"

Pu Yanlan nodded and collected all the bamboo slips and bottles and jars in the room. After collecting the things, the two walked to the back and passed through the moon gate. There was a garden. The rockery, flowers, trees and other things in the garden were all carved from jade. They looked lifelike, but cold and lifeless. After passing the garden, there was the third door in front of them. Gu Shiyi walked in front as usual and pushed hard with both hands.
"Squeak..."

In front of them was an empty field, about the size of a football field, with a five-story white jade tower in the middle. The tower was white in color, with a faint aura flowing through it. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing. The two looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi looked at the bottom of the tower, which was slightly open, revealing a cracked door.
"It seems that the person in front has already gone in!"

The dragon soul rushed out from Gu Shiyi's waist and circled the white jade tower three times.
"This thing should be a magic weapon, but tower-shaped magic weapons are mostly used to suppress evil things. Could it be that there are some evil spirits in this tower that need to be suppressed?"

After Pu Yanlan looked him up and down, she also said,

"I remember reading the Ten Thousand Sects Magical Instruments Atlas when I was in Tianyi Sect. There was an explanation of the tower-shaped magic instruments in it. The most advanced tower-shaped magic instruments have thirteen layers, but they are rare in the world. Having nine layers is already very powerful. This five-layer jade tower is also rare..."

She looked at a jade ring on the eaves of the white jade tower. There was an iron chain as thick as a person's waist connected to the jade ring. The other end of the iron chain was deeply embedded in the ground. There were also complex talismans engraved on the iron chain.

"What is so ferocious in here that not only does it need to be suppressed by the Jade Tower, but it also needs this Soul-Locking Chain..."

The two looked at each other, both hesitant. Now the situation was a bit of a dilemma. Gu Shiyi was not the kind of person who hesitated when faced with things. He thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"It's hard to go back or go in now. We've come this far. If we don't pass this last hurdle, we won't feel at ease when we go back. We might as well go in and take a look..."

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when suddenly a voice came from the slightly opened tower door.
"Who is outside? Is anyone coming? Is anyone coming? Save me! Get me out!"

The space here is very large and empty. The sound was instantly amplified, like a thunderclap. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were startled and looked towards the slightly open tower door. They heard a male voice from inside,

"You two, you two, are you fellow Taoists who have come here to explore? I am Wen Renqian, a direct disciple of the Zhengnian Sect. If you two fellow Taoists are willing to help you, I will definitely report back to you after I escape!"

He paused and seeing that the two of them were silent, he said hurriedly,

"I think when you two Daoists came in, you had already discovered that many treasures in front were taken away by me. If you two are willing to save me, I will give you half of the treasures I got here!"

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other after hearing this, and Gu Shiyi spoke.

"Wen Renqian, could it be the Wen Renqian mentioned in the blood oath we saw outside?"

Seeing that she was willing to respond, the people inside were overjoyed and immediately responded,
"It is me, it is me..."

"Oh... So you are Wen Renqian..."

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes and said,

"I've heard your name..."

"You...you've heard of me?"

The people in the tower were surprised and asked after a moment of silence:
"I wonder where you heard my name from?"

Gu Shi said,
"We were originally traveling around, and we came to this far north. We wanted to see how powerful the spiritual storm in the far north is, but we didn't expect to meet a beggar in the snowfield... We heard about you from the beggar..."

There was a pause here, and the voice inside said in surprise,
"Beggar...how do you know my name?"

Gu Shi said,
"That beggar was reborn by taking over another body. He said his name was Li Haoyi. He came here with his friend Wen Renqian to search for treasures. However, he didn't expect that he would be ambushed by Wen Renqian as soon as he entered the cave. As a result, his physical body was destroyed and only his Nascent Soul escaped. He had no choice but to take over the physical body of a half-dead beggar. If it weren't for him... we wouldn't have come here to search for treasures..."

Wen Renqian inside was furious when he heard this.

"Nonsense! It's clearly nonsense. Fellow Taoists, please don't listen to his lies. I am the victim... I am a direct disciple of the Righteous Mind Sect. I accidentally learned that the owner of this cave had a close personal relationship with our ancestor. Before he died, he wrote a letter to tell me the location of this cave, hoping that the Righteous Mind Sect would send someone to take back the owner's remains..."
