The Fox Comes from Outer World - C396
I was a little worried, because we had always thought of this as a tower-shaped structure, and all the eyes were in the same place. However, the situation has clearly changed. The wooden house that is the core of the formation no longer exists, but this layer of barrier did not collapse because of it. It seems like we need to find the core somewhere else, so we have to spend some time to find it.
Qing Ling squatted on the ground, using her forefinger and middle finger to pick up some of the black ash on the ground. He muttered in a low voice, “Could it be that this barrier does not have a pagoda shape? Or perhaps, it has already made the corresponding changes after knowing our intentions? ”
Then he turned to me and asked, “Wuxie, do you have any objections?”
He was asking for innocent advice.
Innocent’s voice came quickly, and I could hear him more clearly now that he was in my body.
He said, “This sovereign believes that the location of the Formation Aperture might have already changed because this Confusion Formation is alive. Maybe someone is manipulating it. Do you think it knew that we were going to destroy its next layer of Formation Apertures, so it changed them somewhere else? Or perhaps it did something to this place to confuse our vision. ”
Qing Ling’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He nodded his head as if he agreed with Wu Xie’s view. Qing Ling then said, “Since that is the case, we will search around this area for a while. Perhaps, we might be able to discover some clues.”
Saying that, he started searching the ruins. I also followed quickly. However, the wooden house by the cliff wasn’t that big of a place to begin with. We quickly searched through the entire area, but we didn’t find anything new.
“Did he really hide the Formation Aperture somewhere else?” Qing Ling frowned.
I asked, “Then should we head to another mountain to look for it?”
Qing Ling shook his head, “In the end, the Southern Mountains continued to move up and down. We can’t search every hill. ”
When I heard this, I also felt that the idea of searching for the mountain was laughable. At the end of the day, Nanshan was my hometown. In my previous life, I lived here for many years, so I am still quite familiar with the mountains and rivers here. I know that if I were to run through every hill here, even if I could fly on a sword, it would take me months. Moreover, we still don’t know how many layers there are in this formation, so we can’t waste our time here.
But, if we don’t look for it, how are we supposed to break this Confusion Array?
I stared blankly at Tsui Ling, hoping he would come up with something.
After pondering for a long time, Qing Ling finally said to me, “Let’s head back to Mount Changqing. I want to try out the Pure Fan bottle.”
Fan’s Purified Bottle?
In my mind, a white jade bottle glittered for a moment. I then remembered this treasure — it was the treasure used by the Evergreen Sect to guard the pagoda. It was an ancient treasure that was placed inside the pagoda to purify demons.
I have entered and exited the Tower of Holy Light several times before, and I have experienced the power of that precious bottle. As Qing Ling mentioned the Pure Fan bottle, my heart couldn’t help but light up. “You want to use the Purified Fan bottle to purify this bewitching formation?”
Qing Ling nodded his head, “The Pure Fan bottle can purify all evil powers, and the eye of the Conundrum Formation, is where the evil power resides. If we can get our hands on the Fan’s Purified Bottle, we should be able to sense the power very well and help us find the core position of the formation. ”
I was overjoyed to hear that, but I was still a little worried. “But you also said that this world is only an illusory world. Within this barrier, will there really be an ancient treasure like the Pure Fan Bottle?”
Qing Ling said, “Even the ghost car and Bai Ze could appear here, not to mention a mere Fan Jian.”
After determining the next step, we immediately set off for Long Qingshan. On the way, I was very excited because it had been a long time since I had returned to my sect. Even though this was only an illusory world, I was still full of yearning for what was about to happen. I wonder if Little Yu and Huang Feihu will be able to enter this illusory world? Was Senior Brother Shangguan still the head of the Qingmu Hall? Did Senior Ruan manage to catch up with Red?
After hundreds of years, the faces and voices of these old classmates were still fresh in his mind. It had to be said that memories were truly a wondrous thing.
I was so excited that I couldn’t help but ask Qing Ling, “Qing Ling, did you return to Chang Qingshan later on?” Have you seen Xiao Yu and the rest? ”
Qing Ling sighed, “I was always in the Demon World behind the Demoness’ back. After that, I was trapped in this White World. Although I was inside the formation later on, I lost my memory and couldn’t remember anything. ”
I was a little disappointed when I heard this, but Qing Ling continued, “However, I stayed in the Evergreen Sect for a period of time in the upper layer of the enchantment. I was a little disappointed when I heard this, but Qing Ling continued,” However, I was in the Evergreen Sect for a period of time in the upper layer of the enchantment.
That’s right, everything within the Bewitching Array Formation was illusory. Even if one met the person in person, he or she might not necessarily be a real person, right? Perhaps, it was just a little phantom image from Qing Ling’s memories, but everything in reality might not be as he wished.
Even though I understand this, I still look forward to the trip to the Evergreen Sect. The Cyan Plume Imperial Sword carried me as we flew very quickly. Our swords carried a beautiful cyan light as they streaked across the sky like meteors.
Two days later, we arrived at Long Green Mountain. However, we didn’t stay at the foot of the mountain for long. We flew straight into the depths of the mountains, heading straight for the Sacred Pagoda at the headquarters of the Evergreen Sect. Qing Ling said that since everything here is illusory, then we don’t need to waste our time reminiscing about the past with our fellow sect members. We can just directly go back to find the Fan Jingjing bottle, and if we really want to reminisce about the past with our fellow sect members, then we can talk to him after we leave the Bewitching Formation and return to the Six Realms. I thought his words made a lot of sense, so I followed his advice.
The north side of the Sacred Tower was located near the North Mountain Gate. This was the place used by the Evergreen Sect to imprison fiendish demons. Inside the tower, there was an ancient treasure, Fan Jie, placed inside. Qing Ling was familiar with the route, so it didn’t take us too long to reach our destination.
In the distance, I saw a familiar scene. There wasn’t much of a difference from my memories of my previous life; the river’s surface was vast and misty, both sides were lush and verdant. In the hazy water, there stood a tall tower. I have been in this tower to plant the pigweed, this time revisit, although fake, but still inevitably excited.
I looked down at the riverbank, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how the lemongrass grew so lush. Could it be that the sect had stopped feeding the Three Flowers Little Pig and did not need to punish their disciples with the pigweed?
As we neared the Tower of Saints, Qing Ling lowered his sword and slowly descended to the ground. Immediately, the smell of moist water mixed with the fragrance of lemon grass assaulted my nose. I couldn’t help but take a deep breath. How fragrant!
Qing Ling smiled slightly and sheathed her sword. “Do you miss the days of harvesting the pigweed?”
I replied with a smile, “I remember the days when you were my martial uncle.”
