I will survive with proficiency

"You continue to inspect the town, and notify me if you find any abnormal behavior. Be careful to conceal your identity." Chen Ping confessed.

"Yes, master."

Xu Ruyan disappeared lightly in place.

Her Seven Injury Technique has been practiced to the point where it is almost perfect, and unless she has a very high-level exorcism magic weapon or a monk, she will not be able to perceive her existence.

It is suitable for testing information.

Chen Ping himself sat down cross-legged to calm himself down.

Analyze the current situation by stripping it away.

According to these weird monks, today is the day of the full moon, and only by carving a stele can one obtain the blessing of the stele and avoid being illuminated by the lighthouse.

Once it is irradiated, it will be petrified into a stone tablet in situ.

The problem is, he tried, and when he carved the stele, it also accelerated his own assimilation.

With every blow of the hammer, the body becomes bluer.

Consciousness becomes more numb, more dead.

... caught in an endless loop.

And now, it has begun to darken, and the moon may rise soon.

At that time, he will undoubtedly die.

'These people are not evil spirits, but they are very different from ordinary people...'

Chen Ping thought hard.

etc?

Phantom array?

Thinking of this, Chen Ping was shocked.

The "Hundred Flowers Totem Formation" he is currently practicing is a third-order offensive and defensive formation that can cause hallucinations and even demons in those who stray into it.

But.

Not right.

He has already practiced "Hundred Flowers Totem Formation" to the level of "proficiency", and has a certain understanding of this formation. The so-called "illusion" is to make the wrong person fall into the past joys and sorrows and sorrows and joys, unable to extricate themselves , The people and things you see are the people and things in your own life experience.

But he didn't know anyone in this small town.

Moreover, the so-called phantom array is to make the entrants fall into hallucinations and cannot extricate themselves. Under such circumstances, the entrants themselves are confused.

But Chen Ping knew very well that he was very sober.

Isn't this a phantom array?

Wanting to understand this, Chen Ping's original thought was ruthlessly extinguished. If it's really a phantom formation, as a formation mage, he might still have a way.

But now it's deadlocked again.

Just when Chen Ping's thinking was in trouble, Xu Ruyan hurried back:

"Master, you're alive, you're alive."

"What came back to life?" Chen Ping was puzzled.

"The nun that the master killed came back to life."

Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat.

Can these monks be killed?

"How did you survive?" He kept himself calm.

"Yan'er doesn't know. Yan'er also discovered by accident that the female cultivator is still intact, and even the young monk who was seriously injured by the master is still hammering and carving the stone tablet just like when he first met." Xu Ruyan explained. .

Chen Ping came back to his senses and nodded.

Calm was restored soon.

There are too many weird situations here, and he has not reacted too violently to it, and he is a little accustomed to it.

However, it can be seen from this incident that these monks are definitely not normal living people.

It's getting more and more incredible.

"There is another matter. There is something strange about one of the stone tablets in the center of the town. Yan'er saw a female cultivator walking out of the stone tablet, but seeing the sunset here, she returned to the stone tablet not long after. The monk Like the master, he has a clear sense of consciousness, behaves normally, and doesn't knock on the stone tablet frequently, it seems that he is also looking for a way like the master." Xu Ruyan said.

Originally, Chen Ping was not too surprised when he heard about the recovery of the woman, but now when he heard the news from Xu Ruyan, his heart was aroused.

If Xu Ruyan's perception is not wrong, it means that there are living people like him here.

This might give him more information.

"Yan'er just tried to enter the stele, but the stele was weird, and Yan'er couldn't enter." Xu Ruyan said aggrievedly.

"Well, let's go and have a look."

Chen Ping flew back to the town again, and under Xu Ruyan's guidance, he came to the stone tablet.

He passed this stele several times, and the plump woman who invited him into the room to talk about it was just next door to this stele, and she was still hammering on the stele with her back to the street.

The stele in front of Chen Ping was unremarkable.

It is no different from other steles.

He looked at the darkening sky and decided to find out.

But he didn't go in by himself immediately, although Xu Ruyan couldn't get in, but he still had spirit beasts.

After receiving the order, Jiuyou Colorful Cicada turned and flew towards the stele. Sure enough, the moment it touched the stele, the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada disappeared instantly.

After a while, the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada flew out again.

With empathy, the situation inside the stele is clearly visible.

...It turns out that there is another world behind the stele!

Inside the stele is a dark passage with twists and turns. There were corpses everywhere in the passage, and the walls were stained red with blood. Blood pooled in low-lying areas.

There had obviously been a fight here.

When Jiuyou Colorful Cicada flew to the end of the passage, there was originally a dead end, but the next second Jiuyou Colorful Cicada was in a new environment.

——It is a beautiful peach blossom forest.

When the sun sets, the scenery is pleasant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, hard-working farmers are working in the fields, the big yellow dog is dozing on the ridge of the field, occasionally raising its head and barking, the children are chasing butterflies on the grass, and the smoke from the houses in the distance wave…

It was difficult for Chen Ping to connect the scenery on both sides of the stele.

There is no sense of spooky or bloody here.

Even a little warm.

Chen Ping reviewed all the visions of the Nine Nether Colorful Cicadas, but he still didn't find any elements that could solve the current situation.

At this moment, a dull rumbling sound suddenly came from the direction of the sea behind him.

Chen Ping suddenly lifted into the sky, and saw the stormy sea in the distance, and a huge sea vortex appeared in one of them, and the vortex continued to grow. Soon the diameter reached the length of an entire football field.

Immediately afterwards, the rumble intensified.

A slender stone pillar spirals slowly up from the vortex.

As the stone pillar rose, all the monks in the town turned their heads to watch, showing horror.

"The lighthouse is up, it's over."

"Knock fast, knock fast, or it will be too late."

Then there was a more crisp sound of "ding ding dong dong" hitting the stone tablet.

"..."

The corner of Chen Ping's mouth twitched, and after falling down, he thought for a while, released the Nine Nether Colorful Cicadas to explore the way ahead, and then followed closely behind into the stone tablet.

"Guchi, Guchi!"

The spirit boots stepped on the bloody water, making a sticky sound.

Some coagulated blood pulled streaks of blood between the sole of his shoe and the ground.

The whole passage is full of pungent bloody smell.

Among the dead monks, Chen Ping saw the young monk, the old old monk, and the plump female monk...

Even though the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada opened the way ahead, he still maintained an unusual sense of vigilance.

Fortunately, it went smoothly and soon entered the end of the passage.

In the next breath, he appeared in the Taohuayuan village.

It was different from when he first appeared in the small town of Hailing Island. When he suddenly appeared in this farming village, everyone turned their heads and looked at him.

Then cheers.

Even a group of people came up to watch.

"The guest is here, the guest is here."

"Hi uncle, where are you from?"

"Brother, is the outside world fun?"

"Uncle, did you bring any delicious candy?"

"..."

Chen Ping secretly raised his breath to prevent these people from getting too close to him.

At the same time, it was also discovered that these people seemed to be mortals, without the aura of monks at all. This is true for old women, young girls, and young children.

At this moment, an old man dressed as a farmer broke through the crowd and walked over, repelling the group of naughty children:

"Go, go, go. Look at your troubles, don't scare the guests."

Chen Ping learned from people's address that this old man is the village head here.

The village chief came over and said kindly:

"Little friend is from the small town of Hailing Island, right?"

"Uncle knows the town of Hailing Island." Chen Ping asked calmly.

"What do you not know about this? All of us are from the small town of Hailing Island." The village chief smiled:

"It's extremely dangerous there, and it's fate that my little friend can come to Peach Blossom Village through there."

"You don't need to be polite, you are from Taocun, you are a family. There are no rich resources in Taohua Village, but you can live happily and self-sufficiently. You will like it."

This is so sweet.

Just talking about such a scene, Chen Ping would even suddenly think that he had really entered the Peach Blossom Land by mistake.

But his intuition told him that it might not be that simple.

So I didn't say much, just wait and see quietly and stay vigilant.

If this is really a normal village, these mortals can't do anything to themselves, and they can't die if they lie on the ground for three days and three nights.

But if this Taoyuan Village is really still in the universe, then it may not be so easy for him to fly out like this.

Might as well wait and see.

Sure enough, the village head clapped his hands.

Then a tall and plump girl came out.

Just listen to the village head:

"The village here is much better than the outside. How can there be any maids outside? Peach Blossom Village has them. Fen Taohua will be Xiaoyou's wife from now on. Everyone should leave, don't bother Xiaoyou to do good deeds."

The Run girl named Fen Taohua looked at Chen Ping affectionately, and bowed slightly to salute.

At the moment when Chen Ping's eyes met hers, she looked down at her abdomen, gently resting her hands on it, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Then, her abdomen grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Pink Peach Blossom girl looked at Chen Ping and said excitedly:

"Husband, our child is kicking my concubine in my stomach. Husband, the child is about to be born, can you give me a name?"

In the next breath, Peach Blossom Girl's abdomen recovered as before, and a crying baby appeared in her hands at the same time.

Chen Ping couldn't help frowning deeply.

It's really not normal here.

At this moment, a voice came: "Fellow Daoist, don't stay any longer, please come down with me."

He suddenly turned his head and saw a figure sneaking forward in the peach blossom forest.

Judging from his appearance, that person was exactly the female cultivator Xu Ruyan described.

Chen Ping sank, turned around and quickly followed.

At the same time remain vigilant.

"Fellow Daoist, this way." Turning around in a peach blossom forest, the female cultivator stopped in front of a cave and motioned Chen Ping to follow her into the cave.

Chen Ping didn't move. Although this person looked normal, it was just an 'appearance'.

He doesn't trust anyone now.

Seeing is not necessarily believing.

If he had to use one word to describe his current state, it would be——

—Mom, I can't tell.

——I really can't tell the difference.

"Fellow Daoist's boudoir, it's inconvenient for me to enter. Please tell me, fellow Daoist, where is this place?" Chen Ping kept a distance and said calmly.

Seeing that Chen Ping was vigilant, the female cultivator didn't care, she took a breath and said:

"Fellow Daoists are reasonable to be vigilant. When I first came here two days ago, I didn't believe anyone. I'm going down to Jiang Xuewei."

"This is not a secret place, nor is it a truly strange place, but in the universe of a top-grade magic weapon."

"Magic treasure universe?" Chen Ping was shocked.

But on the surface, Gu Jing kept a calm expression.

The magic weapon universe is somewhat similar to the formation, but there are not small differences. If it is really a magic weapon, these weird things here can indeed be arranged in advance.

Jiang Xuewei first asked Chen Ping why he entered here, and only gave an explanation after learning that he entered it by mistake.

turn out to be.

This Jiang Xuewei is an arrogance of the sect, with a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, and met her enemy Jia Yile when she was out on a mission.

Was attacked by Jia Yile.

But Jiang Xuewei had a lot of treasures in her body, so even if she was attacked by surprise, she didn't fall into a disadvantage. On the contrary, she severely injured the opponent. When she saw that she could kill the opponent, Jia Yile suddenly activated a top-grade magic weapon.

Pulled her into the universe.

And get stuck here.

"It just so happens that I am quite familiar with this magic weapon. I have seen a similar one at Master's place before. There is a peach tree in this small cave, and that peach tree is the only exit."

"But this ultimate magic weapon is not something that you and I can destroy. Even the cultivation of Yuanying's initial stage cannot be forcibly destroyed, otherwise it will only lead to the collapse of the universe, and you and I will die." Jiang Xuewei explained, when talking about her deadly enemy, His face was full of frost.

Chen Ping couldn't see the situation inside the cave clearly, it didn't matter the grievances between her and Jia Yile, but only cared about how to get out:

"How can I get out from this exit?"

Jiang Xuewei sighed:

"It's very simple, but it's also very difficult."

"The reason why it is simple is because Jia Yile did not hesitate to take risks in order to lure me into it, and he also entered this universe. He just didn't expect that I knew a lot about this magic weapon, so he took the exit first. As long as If you find him, you will know how to activate the peach tree, and you will be able to get out of here. Although I understand the layout of the magic weapon, I don’t know how to activate the exit.”

After Jiang Xuewei entered the universe, because Jia Yile was seriously injured, she couldn't get to the Taohuayuan immediately, but instead hid herself, allowing Jiang Xuewei to take the lead.

After Jiang Xuewei occupied the cave, she arranged the formation immediately to ensure that only she could enter the cave, so that even if Jia Yile found it, it would take time to destroy the formation and make noise, and then the first Time is known to her.

Of course, for the sake of caution, she didn't dare to leave the cave for a long time to avoid accidents.

This is why Xu Ruyan returned immediately after seeing her entering and leaving the stone tablet and entering the small town of Hailing Island.

"Although Jia Yile is the owner of a magic weapon, it is a magic weapon, not a formation. He also needs to use the exit to get out of here. So it's simple."

"But it's also very difficult." Jiang Xuewei smiled wryly.

"Fellow Taoist came from the small town of Hailing Island. You should know the situation here. Every person killed there will be assimilated. It is not allowed to find Jia Yile by killing people."

"And he is the holder of the magic weapon, so he probably has the means to hide himself as a townsman."

"Besides, apart from the small town of Hailing Island, there is also this Peach Blossom Village. There are many villagers, and we cannot kill them all. If Jia Yile hides in it, it will be difficult to find him out. I don't have much time left to wait, I don't know. Can you help me?"

Having said that, Jiang Xuewei looked at Chen Ping full of expectation.

Chen Ping guessed that Jiang Xuewei might have seen it the moment he first entered Taohuayuan, or even the moment Jiuyou Colorful Cicada entered.

It's just that she is confirming whether Chen Ping is Jia Yile's accomplice or just a mistaken intruder.

Then it is very likely that Chen Ping was not an accomplice of Jia Yile through certain details, so he decided to take the risk of cooperation.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't speak, Jiang Xuewei guessed that Chen Ping had nothing to do, so she couldn't help feeling sad.

Lowering his eyes, he sighed lightly.

Waiting for a companion to come, but still no solution.

"Jiang Daoyou just said that there is not much time left for me to wait, what does that mean?"

Jiang Xuewei smiled bitterly and said:

"Fellow Taoist came here from Hailing Island, don't you know? On the night of the full moon, only by entering here can one survive."

Just like what the townspeople said, when bathed in the light of the lighthouse, it will turn into a stone monument on the spot, and it will never survive.

One way is to sacrifice oneself, be willing to be assimilated, continue to carve stone tablets, sacrifice one's own soul, and seek the blessing of the God of Stone Tablets.

Another way is to enter Taohua Village.

There are flowers, wine, food, and the company of beauties here, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on a good day.

But access to Peach Blossom Village does not come without a price.

Not only that, but brutal.

That is the life discount.

A 30-year lifespan will be lost overnight.

This is the lifespan reduction without contacting those villagers. Once contacting the villagers, the lifespan will be deducted even more.

It is possible to grow old overnight.

"Fellow Taoist entered here, not only married a wife, but also gave birth to a child. This time is not short. This period of contact is enough to reduce life expectancy by 200 years. That is, if you can't go out tonight, wait until tomorrow when the sun rises. Fellow Daoists will immediately deduct 230 years of lifespan."

Chen Ping suddenly looked at Jiang Xuewei, his anger almost broke out, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes:

"When I entered Taohuayuan, Jiang Daoyou must have seen it long ago, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xuewei quickly explained:

"Fellow daoist, don't blame me. If this process hadn't happened, I wouldn't be able to determine whether fellow daoist is Jia Yile's companion, so I definitely wouldn't dare to appear rashly."

Chen Ping understood what she meant.

If he was Jia Yile's companion, he was here to kill her.

Then he should know that he cannot contact the villagers.

Even if it was for the sake of a fake show, they would not have been in contact for such a long time, because they were not sure that Jiang Xuewei would be solved quickly, and if they could not be solved quickly, they might even run out of life energy first.

Jiang Xuewei felt a little guilty, and quickly explained:

"I know that you must have hatred for me. No matter how much Jiang Xuewei explains about this, it may not be able to eliminate the resentment of you."

"But fellow daoists, don't worry, the reduction of lifespan is not a reduction in thin air, but just like being corroded by evil spirits, using the principle of damaging one's own foundation as a fairy principle to make people age instantly."

"In this case, as long as we can produce this magic weapon, my master is the head of Yuanying. Since there is also this kind of magic weapon, there will naturally be a spiritual fruit to make up for it. Jiang Xuewei can obtain this spiritual fruit for fellow Taoists at that time to make up The foundation will naturally restore longevity."

Chen Ping didn't say anything.

Forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Shouyuan is what he has been pursuing, the most important thing...

This is a thorn.

But now is obviously not the time to pursue these matters, the top priority is to find Jia Yile.

It is out of the universe.

If he could walk out of the universe after dawn, then his lifespan would not be affected in the slightest.

"Jiang Daoyou thinks, Jia Yile is more likely to be in Taohuayuan or Hailing Island?" Chen Ping asked.

Seeing that Chen Ping's face softened slightly, Jiang Xuewei let out a soft breath:

"It's hard to say, this is his territory. But I prefer that he stay on Hailing Island. Jia Yile was seriously injured and needs to practice secretly. Peach Blossom Village is not big, and under my consciousness, he is secretly operating There is less room for…”

If it was a peach blossom garden, Jiang Xuewei could guard the exit cave while investigating.

But if it is Hailing Island, Jiang Xuewei is a little beyond her reach.

"Even so, every night for 30 years of longevity, you and I are both golden elixir. As long as you don't touch the villagers of these peach blossoms tonight, you can return to Hailing Island tomorrow. Hailing Island is only in danger on the night of the full moon. I still have a lot of time to investigate slowly, but I don’t need to reduce my lifespan anymore, don’t I?”

In Chen Ping's impression, there is only a full moon night every month, which means that Hailing Island is safe at other times.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuewei gave another wry smile:

"Fellow Daoist is wrong. The lighthouse really shines on the night of the full moon. But the problem is, every night here is the night of the full moon."

Every night is a full moon night?

This is another new news that Chen Ping heard.

Just when she was surprised, she heard Jiang Xuewei say again:

"In addition, I set up a dark situation in Taohuayuan before, and I will continue to investigate a few suspicious villagers in Taohuayuan tonight. If I find nothing, I will continue to think of other ways tomorrow. In any case, even if I put all my eggs in one basket, I will not give up easily. Fellow Daoist If I don't want to cooperate, I can't force it."

Having said that, Jiang Xuewei's eyes were firm.

Chen Ping didn't speak.

He looked up at the sky, and at this time the sun was gone, and the night had fallen.

…The weather and time here are almost synchronized with Hailing Island.

...I have to act tonight and find Jia Yile, otherwise the price of 230 years of longevity will be too high.

Too big to bear.

He really has no intention of cooperating.

But he didn't worry about Shouyuan's problem at this time. When he realized that as long as he found Jia Yile, even if he was dead, he could know the way to get out of the universe, he felt extremely relaxed.

In his heart, a way to find Jia Yile has been quietly thought of.
