I am a dead man, why should fairies die for me?

Fang Ling stood up slowly and put on his clothes. Since Gu Xixian's clothes were destroyed and the space ring could not be opened, Fang Ling left a set of his own clothes nearby.

Then he walked deeper into the passage.

After he left, Gu Xixian gently opened his eyes, his eyes a little complicated.

Of course, Fang Ling knew that the master was awake, but they all tacitly agreed not to tell him. This matter was always a bit difficult to face.

Gu Xixian picked up Fang Ling's clothes and put them on slowly. This was the first time she wore men's clothes. After putting them on, she felt a little itchy on her body and there seemed to be a strong smell in her nose.

When I thought that this was what Fang Ling had worn, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

Chapter 79 Heavenly Dao Formation

After Fang Ling came back, he looked at Gu Xixian who had already put on his clothes. He didn't know what to say and was silent for a moment.

Although both of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened just now, they would care more about this kind of thing as if nothing had happened, and the weird atmosphere would become even more obvious.

Even Gu Xixian couldn't face it completely calmly. Now that he thought about it, his calm state of mind actually showed some ripples.

Gu Xixian was wearing a black robe, with an exquisite figure, which added a touch of unique charm. He said softly: "I'm lucky to have you this time, otherwise I might have died here. So far, my practice has been smooth sailing, and I haven't encountered anything. It was a huge setback, but this time, I finally experienced some of the emotions I felt when I was about to die."

Fang Ling shook his head and said, "Master has shown great kindness to me. This is what I should do."

Just a moment after he left, Fang Ling had already taken out the spiritual fire from his body. Of course, his condition was not very good. He was now seriously injured and his combat power was seriously damaged. But fortunately, it did not damage his roots. As long as he calmed down and It only takes ten days to practice.

Gu Xixian chuckled and said, "I accepted you as my disciple because of your space power and my true destiny with Xiao Qing. But now it seems that maybe we do share the karma of master and disciple."

Fang Ling was silent for a moment and said: "Master, what happened just now is urgent and cannot be delayed. Please forgive me."

He chose to speak out because Fang Ling had absolutely no thoughts of transcendence in his heart, and he didn't want this matter to remain buried in his heart and make the atmosphere between him and Gu Xixian weird, or even create a grudge.

Even Gu Xixian was quiet for a moment after hearing this, and then said softly: "It doesn't matter,"

"Yes."

This matter was even lightly overturned.

However, the two of them were not in a hurry to act. The snowflakes over there couldn't get in anyway. Fang Ling sat cross-legged first and began to use the mental method to heal his wounds. Naturally, he silently recited the Taishang Qingxin Jue.

About two hours later, although Fang Ling had not fully recovered from his injuries, his strength had at least recovered to [-]% and he could continue walking into this passage.

Fang Ling walked in front, holding a long sword in his hand. His speed was not very fast. After experiencing the danger ahead, he had obviously realized that this place was unusual.

After walking out of the passage, Fang Ling frowned, because he actually returned to the cave where he fell in the first place. Looking up, he was right.

So these passages extending in all directions are all connected to each other?

Gu Xixian thought for a moment, pointed to a passage on the left, and said, "Let's go this way this time."

Fang Ling naturally had no objection. After spending two sticks of incense, light appeared in front of him.

This time, what he saw was not a strange sight or something strange, but it still surprised Fang Ling.

It is a lake with clear water and several red carps swimming in it. It is surrounded by flowers and plants, and the environment is beautiful.

In a place like this, this scene seems even weirder.

Gu Xixian looked around and said softly: "Don't worry, there is no danger here. It's just as I guessed. This entire underground cave is actually a large formation containing the way of heaven."

Fang Ling frowned. Throughout the ages, anything related to the way of heaven would never be simple, let alone a formation.

For example, the deduction and induction techniques that Gu Xixian mastered by using Tiandao made many mountain people in Shanhaizhou deeply afraid of him. If it weren't for the Guiyi Realm expert behind the scenes who blocked Gu Xixian's induction of Tiandao through Chu Qiaofeng, Maybe Kou Niangzi and others would be tricked by Gu Xixian.

Gu Xixian continued: "I have never seen this formation, but these passages must have a correct route that leads to the center of the formation. There is a high probability that we can leave there."

"This is where the birth gate of the formation is, that's why I let you go this way. Let's rest here for one night and continue walking tomorrow. I should be able to find the right route."

The saying that an old person in a family is like a treasure is indeed true. Of course, the Master is not old, but the Master is very knowledgeable, which is indeed very helpful.

If Fang Ling were here alone, no matter how long he stayed, he would still be confused.

The red carp in the lake was naturally caught by Fang Ling and used as food. The fish meat contained spiritual power and was a great tonic, which was very useful to Gu Xixian today.

After eating the fish, Gu Xixian signaled her to take a bath. Fang Ling wanted to retreat into the passage, but Gu Xixian told him to just turn his back.

"It's better to be careful to avoid any accidents."

Fang Ling thought about it and nodded.

What's more, this seems to be nothing to the two of them now.

Fang Ling has excellent hearing, and he seems to be able to outline a specific picture through some subtle movements.

With a calm look on his face, Fang Ling sat cross-legged and began to practice by meditating silently.

Not long after, Gu Xixian finished bathing and put on Fang Ling's black robe again. Looking at Fang Ling who was practicing with his eyes closed, he did not disturb him, but went to study the surrounding environment.

……

On the second day, the two continued to move forward. Of course, before leaving, Fang Ling directly put all the red carp in the lake into the space ring.

This time, many forks began to appear, and Gu Xixian had to stop for a long time before deciding which passage to take.

There has been no danger during this period, and it seems that the route is correct.

But six hours later, Fang Ling and the two returned to the cave where they fell in the first place.

Gu Xixian was not discouraged, but smiled slightly, "I seem to understand."

Then the two of them returned to the lake. After a night's rest, they continued to move forward along the exact same route as yesterday.

Fang Ling was confused, but he didn't show it.

As expected, he returned to the cave again.

Fang Ling looked at his master, but found that his expression seemed... very interesting?

In this way, more than ten days passed.

Fang Ling and Gu Xixian also went around in circles more than a dozen times.

There is no concept of time in the cave, and Fang Ling only remembers the approximate time.

Returning to the starting point again, Gu Xixian's eyes were bright and he smiled and said: "Let's go. If everything goes well, we should be able to get out this time."

Fang Ling followed silently without asking why.

It was still the same route as before. Just when Fang Ling thought that Gu Xixian had made a mistake and was about to return to the starting point, he suddenly discovered that... the things in front of him were different.

Finally, we no longer returned to the cave. In front of us was a simple stone room with no passage. This was the end of the road.

But it was obviously following the previous route, why would it be different?

Gu Xixian explained softly: "This Heavenly Dao Formation actually changes on its own. It seems that we take the same route every time, but in fact it has been secretly changed. The final result always leads us to the original cave."

"After more than a dozen times of exploration, I finally figured out the general rules and found the correct route. This is the center of this Tiandao formation."

Although Gu Xixian's tone was very calm and her expression was as calm as usual, Fang Ling was still frightened. You know, Gu Xixian didn't have any cultivation skills at the moment.

What kind of terrible calculation ability is this?

Chapter 80 Yin Yang Mirror

After gathering their minds, Fang Ling and Gu Xixian carefully inspected the stone chamber. The stone chamber was not big, only the size of an ordinary room. Apart from a simple mirror, there was nothing else, making it appear empty.

The ancient mirror is placed in the center of the stone chamber.

Fang Ling, who had had one experience, naturally knew that this was no ordinary mirror.

Gu Xixian stared at it for a moment and muttered: "This seems to be some kind of ancient magic weapon. I can't identify what it is yet, but I am sure that this magic weapon is where the eye of the entire formation is, or in other words, the entire formation is It exists to protect or suppress this ancient mirror."

"As long as we pick up the ancient mirror, we can be teleported away, but we can't be sure whether we are teleported out of the empty land or... just teleported out of this formation."

Hearing this, Fang Ling has already made a decision. No matter whether there are risks or not, if he wants not to be trapped here forever, he has only one choice.

Gu Xixian warned softly: "Be careful."

Fang Ling nodded, his eyes serious, and he took the ancient mirror in his hand very slowly.

The mirror is round in shape. Although it is not large, it is heavy.

Fang Ling looked at the mirror and found that the ancient mirror could not reflect anything.

Nothing unusual happened.

At the moment when he was confused, the ancient mirror burst out with a black and white light. Fang Ling squinted his eyes, and a pattern of yin and yang fish actually appeared on the mirror.

Gu Xixian was a little surprised, as if he thought of something, and said, "This seems to be..."

Before he finished speaking, the formation began to collapse, and they disappeared from the stone room.

……

This time, Fang Ling did not lose consciousness. After standing firm, he turned around and saw that the surrounding area was no longer an ice field... but an endless plain.

Gu Xixian on the side said softly: "We are still in an empty land, but during the days we were in the cave, the seasons above finally changed."

Going straight from winter to autumn?

Absurd enough indeed.

Fang Ling looked at the ancient mirror in his hand and asked, "Master, what exactly is this?"

Gu Xixian said with a sense of emotion in his tone: "If you read correctly, this is the most precious treasure of Yin and Yang, the Yin-Yang Mirror. In ancient times, there was a senior who became famous with the Yin-Yang Way, named Jiang Yan. This Yin-Yang Mirror is It’s Senior Jiang’s natal magic weapon. Senior Jiang’s cultivation is as high as the sky. It is said that none of his contemporaries can be his opponent if they fight one on one.”

"It's just that Senior Jiang disappeared after becoming a Venerable for less than [-] years. Some people say that he fell under the catastrophe because he wanted to break the shackles of the Venerable Realm. Others say that Senior Jiang entered a small world to retreat. , In short, Senior Jiang has never appeared in the world again, and the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Mirror are naturally unknown. Later, none of the monks who majored in Yin-Yang Avenue could break through to the three supreme realms."

Fang Ling has actually read about Jiang Yan in books. The main reason is that the sages of his generation are no match for him in a one-on-one fight. What kind of combat power is this? !

Although shocked, it is not surprising. You must know that among the three thousand avenues, the Yin and Yang path is among the best. The true meaning of it is extremely broad and comprehensive.

Jiang Yan is the only person who can achieve the greatness of Yin Yang Dao. As a genius who is rare to see in ten thousand years, it is not surprising that his combat prowess is the best in the world.

The only regrettable thing is that Jiang Yan's disappearance was so mysterious that later generations continued to make inferences about it. There were even conspiracy theories, saying that the other sages saw that Jiang Yan was too powerful and plotted against him together.

There are still many people who believe this kind of nonsense, and they always look like they are swearing by it. Fang Ling has seen a lot of it in the Song family and the Tianyan sect.

The question now is, the Yin-Yang Mirror is Jiang Yan's natal magic weapon, why does it appear in this place?

Gu Xixian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "So, after Senior Jiang Yan mysteriously disappeared, he came to this empty place, and also sealed his life magic weapon with a formation, but I don't know what happened, Senior Jiang Yan actually wanted to Seal the natal magic weapon..."

This is naturally something that cannot be understood, but one thing is certain, this Yin-Yang Mirror is definitely something that even the Venerable would be interested in.

Gu Xixian looked at Fang Ling and said softly: "This is your opportunity, keep it well, maybe you can also walk on the path of yin and yang in addition to the path of space."

But Fang Ling shook his head and said calmly: "It's useless for me to hold this kind of treasure. Only Master can fully exert its effect."

Gu Xixian was slightly stunned and said: "I know that once you make up your mind, it will be difficult for others to persuade you, but we don't need to argue about the ownership of the Yin-Yang Mirror for the time being. After all, the first thing is to find a way to get out of here, and I don't have the cultivation level now. , how about you keeping the Yin-Yang Mirror for now?"

Fang Ling knew that Gu Xixian was right, so he first put the Yin-Yang Mirror into the space ring, but in his heart he already regarded it as Gu Xixian's belongings.

As if he could see what Fang Ling was thinking, Gu Xixian felt helpless and said, "Let's go. Although we couldn't leave this time, we got the Yin-Yang Mirror by accident. This shows that the Empty Land may be much more special than we imagined." , let’s see what else we encounter next.”

......

A month passed in a flash.

Fang Ling and Gu Xixian did not go out of this plain, and the seasons did not change again. Fortunately, there was something different from before, that is, they finally encountered lakes and some wild animals. With food and water sources, they solved the biggest problem. question.

Of course, if it turns back to winter, the situation will still be serious.

Therefore, Fengling has been storing water and food in case of emergencies.

This month's life has been very ordinary, and I haven't encountered anything worth paying attention to. Gu Xixian's injuries have completely recovered, but there is still nothing he can do about his cultivation.

Fang Ling is practicing every day, and the power of space can finally be used again. If he encounters any danger again, it will never happen like in the Tiandao Formation.

At that time, Master almost died.

Although Fang Ling never mentioned it, he always believed that the responsibility lay with him. After all, he promised to protect the safety of his master.

Gu Xixian had no cultivation and had nothing to do, so he would guide Fangling in his cultivation. This benefited Fangling a lot, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. You must know that Gu Xixian's guidance is available every day. Although Gu Xixian's cultivation is not there, his vision and The knowledge is still there, and often a few simple words can make Fang Ling understand something.

It seems like I have made up for the half-year "free range" time I spent when I first started.

After each practice, Fang Ling would play chess with his master. This kind of day and night interaction was absolutely different from the situation when he went down the mountain. At that time, Fang Ling could not see through this master at all, but now he thinks he finally understands her somewhat. .

That night, as expected, Fang Ling was defeated by Gu Xixian again.

Gu Xixian began to review the game, shook his head slightly and said, "You are actually very talented when it comes to playing chess, but it's a pity that you are not interested."

Fang Ling said calmly: "This is not the way I want."

Gu Xixian reminded: "Every time you are in a desperate situation, you will think about burning the boat and living towards death. This is not the right way. You must learn to plan before you act and focus on the overall situation."

Fang Ling nodded slightly, "That's what Master said."

Gu Xixian smiled slightly, and of course he didn't mind. Now the relationship between the two of them is that of both teachers and friends.
