Do not die

The "Qihuangzi" who said this had a sincere attitude, a soft voice, and a kind expression.

But all this is dangerous in the eyes of five people.

They did not take another look at the spiritual place deep underground, but all looked at "Qihuangzi".

Without any communication, the figures of the five people drifted backward at the same time.

As he distanced himself from "Qihuangzi", the qi energy between them, which was integrated but not obvious, suddenly began to surge.

It was like a beast that suddenly realized the hidden danger and bared its teeth.

They have gone through many ups and downs along the way, and of course they will not believe whatever "Qihuangzi" says.

Now, "Qihuangzi" pointed to a dark place and asked them to jump in.

Am I, Qingxuan Fifth Elder, brainless?

Therefore, of course they would not jump into such an obvious pit.

Instead, everyone became more wary of the proposer in front of them!

Qingye looked directly at "Qihuangzi" and asked, "Do you want us to explore the way for you?"

The following situations are nothing more than three.

First, there was nothing unusual. What "Qihuangzi" did was just to make things mysterious.

Maybe it was just to tease them hard.

With this old guy's bad character, such a possibility is not entirely impossible.

Second, the following is a trap set by "Qihuangzi" or "Qihuangmen".

Just wait for them to take the initiative to take advantage of you.

Of course, this possibility is smaller than the first one.

This is their confidence in their abilities, and they also feel that this "Qihuangzi" is not completely crazy.

He wouldn't have developed such a hatred for them out of nowhere.

The third possibility is that everything is true as "Qi Huangzi" said, there is indeed an abnormality here, and he does not know the details.

The reason for bringing them here like this is very simple.

——When you don’t know what’s going on, bring a few pathfinders with similar strength to support you.

From the perspective of "Qihuangzi", this may be a normal approach, but in Qingye's heart, this behavior is simply outrageous.

What grudges and grudges do we have between us?

His eyes became more and more evil.

The eyes of the other four people were also locked on "Qi Huangzi".

"Qihuangzi" seemed a little surprised by the violent reaction of the five people, and said with a smile:

"Why are you reacting so fiercely? This is your own territory after all.

Even if there is really a problem, and I pointed it out to you so frankly, shouldn't you be grateful to me? "

The five people were silent and no one responded.

Indeed, according to Qingxuanzong's explanation, since Tianqi Mountain is located within the Qingxuan Domain, it is naturally the territory of Qingxuanzong.

Now that "Qihuangzi" is taking the initiative to find out the problems, it is picking out hidden dangers for them in advance and giving them more time to respond.

But the reality is that "Qihuangzi"'s "frank" approach is really disliked by people.

The turbulent energy among the five people has calmed down slightly, but "Qihuangzi" is still firmly locked.

Finally, Qingye asked:

"What do fellow Taoists know?"

As he said that, he paused and then said: "We're already here, there's no need to hide it anymore!"

"Qihuangzi" nodded and said: "Seeing is believing. I brought you here just to let you see it with your own eyes."

Qingye shook his head and said, "We won't go down until we figure it out."

"Qihuangzi" said:

"You don't need to go down, it's not that difficult.

You are frightened by yourselves. "

A look of thought flashed in the eyes of several people. "Qi Huangzi" looked at Qing Zhan next to him and reminded:

"As long as you cooperate with fellow Taoist Qingye... this should be a very simple matter for you two, right?"

It's really simple.

After receiving the reminder from "Qihuangzi", Qing Zhan waved his hand, and a circle of water formed, suspended in the void in front of everyone.

Between the water rings, ripples rippled, revealing a dark place.

Under broad daylight, this piece of darkness is like a piece of black paper stuck on.

In Qing Ye's eyes, there suddenly seemed to be two flames flickering.

In an instant, the mirror surface formed by the water curtain was no longer pure black, but became extremely bright.

It was like a circular area illuminated by a strong flashlight in a dark area.

With Qing Ye's blessing, the water mirror used by Qing Zhan to peer through the thick rock formations into the dark space below seemed to turn into a searchlight moving back and forth.

As the "lens" moved regularly, the enclosed spiritual land hidden deep in the mountain below appeared directly in the water mirror. This was no different from what the few people had just detected with their spiritual consciousness.

Naturally, the five people would not be surprised by such a discovery.

Because when the five people were exploring with their spiritual consciousness, they had already discovered the most suspicious place - several stone chambers where practitioners had practiced practice a long time ago.

Therefore, Qing Zhan's water mirror first aimed at this area.

Everything was consistent with the situation of spiritual exploration. After no more discoveries were made, the picture in the water mirror began to move quickly.

Not long after, the fast-moving water mirror image suddenly paused, and then slowly retreated.

The expressions of the five people were quietly serious.

Among them, Qingzhan is the most popular.

At a certain moment, she breathed out softly, and the image in the water mirror that was still slowly "retreating" suddenly jumped, and an altar appeared in the center of the water mirror.

In the center of the altar, there is a small incense burner standing.

Because everyone is standing above, Shui Jing's view is also condescending.

From this angle, the altar looks strange.

The three-story altar looks like a regular "Hui" character divided into three layers, inside and outside. On the mouth of the incense burner, a small "0" is located in the center of the word "Hui".

Qing Zhan's mood seemed a little unstable, and the camera shook slightly before she stabilized him again.

Several other people also focused their attention on this strange building.

Qing Ye asked: "Fellow Taoist, is this another anomaly you mentioned?"

"Qihuangzi" nodded.

At this moment, Qing Zhan had controlled Shuijing's field of vision and observed the entire altar from the side.

"Don't you have anything more to say about this altar?" Qing Ye asked.

"Qihuangzi" thought for a while and suggested: "How about throwing a retroactive circular light array disk down and giving it a try?"

Qingye's eyes narrowed, he looked at "Qi Huangzi" and said, "So, you were the one who left traces in Kurosawahara that day?"

Looking back at the Circle Light Formation, Qingxuan Sect has used it many times, and many people know about it.

But looking back, the Round Light Formation Disk has only been used once since Xuanxu successfully trial-produced it in the Talisman Formation Hall.

It was the time when he and Qing Zhan went to Kurosawahara to investigate the abnormal number of large demons, but were blocked by traces of strong light.

"Qihuangzi" did not respond directly, but smiled and said:

"Just now I saw fellow Taoist's methods and I remembered that you were the one who peeked at me through the eyes of Xuan Xuan and Xuan Lin, right?"

At first, Xuan Lin and Xuan Yu came to visit, and someone peeked through their eyes, and they had a slight collision after catching their traces.

The two sides basically reached a tie, which was one of the reasons why several Qingxuan Sect ancestors valued him so much without any further verification.

Qing Ye had no intention of getting a clear answer. He waved his hand and threw an array disk into the water mirror.

As the formation plate was put into place, the water mirror rippled slightly.

The next moment, before the swaying ripples completely calmed down, the formation disk appeared above the altar.

——With the appearance of this altar, although the five people's hearts were high, they also felt a "feeling of solidity".

Although they won't go down rashly, they don't even have the courage to do more in-depth exploration.

Before investing, Qingye had already pre-activated the match board.

When the formation disk appeared above the altar through the water mirror, the formation disk was fully activated, and a retroactive circular light array covered the entire altar.

The time image within the formation range began to regress, but because everything in this area remained in this state all year round, there was no change.

This is reflected in the water mirror, where the image of the altar remains motionless.

until--

A strange brilliance flashed out of the incense burner, because the time image went back and forth, what we saw was "out", but actually it was "in".

Soon, the five people saw everything clearly.

"The Statue of Lihen?!"

The image characteristics of the Lihen Statue are so obvious that anyone who has come into contact with it cannot fail to recognize it.

Qing Ye and others immediately exclaimed, and even Qing Feng, who looked the most indifferent, his eyes changed several times in an instant.

The statue of Lihen appeared from the incense burner, and then fished out the treasure-like objects in the incense burner.

Some of it was smoked on the spot, some of it was retained, and then returned to the incense burner and disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

The entire process was sped up by five people.

Only then did Qingye turn to look at "Qihuangzi":

"Is this an arrangement from the Lihen Cult?"

"Qihuangzi" nodded: "That should be the case."

After a while, the formation plate once again captured the traces of the appearance and departure of the Lihen Statue.

Just when Qing Ye wanted to control the formation disk and continue to function, he saw faint cracks appearing on the surface of the formation disk, and then quickly cracked into irregular fragments.

The retrospective image ends abruptly.

Just when these fragments were about to fall, a hand made of water passed through the void and took them all into its palm.

Soon, this hand made of water emerged from the water mirror and handed all the array fragments to Qing Ye's hand.

The water mirror standing in the void also shattered and disappeared.

Qing Zhan said: "Don't leave these things at the scene."

Qing Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Clean all relevant traces down there."

Qing Zhan nodded and made a few seals with her fingers. Water-like spiritual ripples rippled from her fingertips and disappeared into the ground.

Deep underground, there were no traces of magic in the void around the altar. Only slight ripples appeared in the spirit of the spiritual land, and then everything returned to normal.

After Qingye took the array fragments, he regretted: "The effect of using it is much worse than what Xuanxu said."

Qingyao said:

"You are all focused on the Statue of Lihen, and you probably haven't noticed that when the traces of the existence of the Statue of Lihen were retrospectively revealed twice, the array plate happened to be covered within the range of the Statue of Lihen's arms. , the formation plate also ages at a faster rate.”

As he said this, he threw several image stones to the others, and even "Qihuangzi" got one.

Under Qingyao's guidance, everyone discovered that during the two times when the Lihen Statue appeared, the formation disk was indeed aging at an abnormal speed, as if the flow of time in this area had accelerated.

Qingye and the others didn't react much to this. They had already experienced the bigger shock just now, and now this new discovery can only be regarded as the unfinished aftermath.

However, Meng Zhou's heart moved and he took this new discovery to heart.

Previously, he used the "Transparent Moon Mirror" to conduct retrospective observations hundreds of miles away. During the period when the Lihen Statue appeared, no additional abnormal changes occurred.

What's more, based on his own experience and his own understanding of time retrieval, which is far superior to other people present, he also believes that the time retrieval image is just a simple image and will not have any additional impact on the real world. .

Now it seems that this judgment is still too arbitrary.

With Meng Zhou thinking in his mind, Qingye looked at "Qihuangzi" and said, "Fellow Taoist, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back the way he came.

"You really don't want to go down and have a look?" "Qihuangzi" asked.

Qing Ye looked over with a speechless expression and said, "How about you go take a look first and we'll wait for you up there?"

"Qihuangzi" waved his hand quickly: "That's not necessary."

Soon, the group returned to the spacecraft.

The spaceship, on the other hand, is merging with the rushing wind and speeding towards the distance.

"This doesn't seem to be the direction back to Qingxuanzong?" Qihuangzi said.

"Well, let's go to Wumenghai." Qingye nodded.

"Do you really want to read it one by one? ...How about I tell you the location and you can verify it later?" "Qihuangzi" suggested.

Qingye turned to look at "Qihuangzi" and said helplessly: "Fellow Taoist, I apologize to you, but I really hope you can understand us."

"Don't you think I have ulterior motives now?"

"Qihuangzi" raised his hands and picked up Qiao.

Qing Ye nodded: "You don't have ulterior motives, you have ulterior motives."

"Qihuangzi" said anxiously:

"What? You must have made it clear! I have been so frank, but I still have ulterior motives?"

Qingye glanced at him and said:

"You want to come to Qinglin Peak to find a place to stay, but your purpose is not that simple, right?"

"Qihuangzi" said:

"Why aren't you innocent anymore? After discovering such a damn thing, every time I retreat, I feel a chill on my back and want to find a place with many people to hang out. Isn't this innocent enough?!"

Qingye was helpless again.

The old guy took the initiative to tell the reason why he was "not pure", and his accusation seemed to be untenable all of a sudden.

"Qihuangzi" said:

"Or do you want to shut out a lonely old man like me?"

If there is another gust of cold wind howling at this time, it will be even more advantageous.

Qingye and the other five people all looked at him sideways.

Finally, Qingye stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome."
