I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood
Chapter 292 Cage
On the lush hillside, the Xuanhua Axe was quietly stuck in the ground, its sharp blade and its own weight so that only half of it was exposed above the ground.
It is so sharp that even a slight touch to a person's body would probably result in broken limbs and bones.
However, the axe was not as sharp as the shining sword on Xie Yuan's neck.
Even though it was just placed there lightly, Xie Yuan felt that a part of his neck had been numb due to the sword energy, and the Golden Bell Cover was almost gone.
The fire user held a long sword and smiled with ease:
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Xie Yuan did not answer, but felt a little regretful.
He closed his eyes and waited.
a long time.
It was quiet.
Until Xie Yuan felt a little strange, there was no movement. He opened his eyes again and saw the fire maker still standing there, looking at him with interest:
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Kill me if you want to, you're just talking too much bullshit."
Xie Yuan sneered.
The fire bearer sighed:
"Why are you so impatient? Are you anxious to be reincarnated?"
"Give me the sword, and you'll know why you're so impatient."
Xie Yuan chuckled.
The fire-bearing girl laughed so hard that her branches shook, and her purple eye shadow curved:
"Interesting. It seems you are not completely fearless. In that case, why don't you beg for mercy? Maybe I can consider it."
"Being on my knees is not my style."
Xie Yuan said coldly.
The fire-bearer smiled:
"I didn't ask you to kneel. Why don't you beg for mercy? What if that happens? Then you won't have to die, right?"
This witch is really annoying. The mental preparation I had prepared with great difficulty was almost shattered by her doing this. She is indeed a witch of the evil cult.
If you really believe her lies, you will be humiliated before you die.
Xie Yuan simply closed his eyes again and ignored him.
Seeing this, the fire-bearing envoy snorted:
"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. You do have one way out today, and that is to join my Holy Church."
Seeing that Xie Yuan still didn't respond, she said seriously:
"I am not kidding you. I see that you are a talent and I am attracted to your talent. If you join my holy religion, I will save you from death."
When Xie Yuan heard her serious tone, he opened his eyes and his heart moved slightly.
If what she said was true, then wouldn’t I have a way out?
Although the demon cult is scary, it is just a pretense of flattery and hypocrisy, and it will find an opportunity to escape later.
Xie Yuan admitted that he was persuaded and would not give up if there was a chance to survive.
I was afraid that this witch was still teasing me to vent her anger, but this time it seemed more real. I couldn't give up even if there was a one in ten thousand chance. Even if I was wrong, the worst that could happen was that I would die an ugly death...
He was in an uncertain mood, and the Fire Master seemed to see what he was thinking and said calmly:
"If you join our holy religion, you must accept its rules and regulations and serve the holy fire of light with all your heart. Don't worry, as long as you agree to join the religion, we will all be brothers and sisters in the future, and what you want will no longer be possible."
Xie Yuan was silent. It really wasn't that simple.
If the world's largest sect could be easily entered and exited, and had no means of controlling people, it would be impossible for it to last for tens of millions of years and have a history longer than that of the dynasties.
If you are really brainwashed, it is no different from being dead. You may be used to do evil or even hurt your loved ones. It is better to die first.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan took a breath and shook his head resolutely.
There's nothing to be afraid of. Maybe I can go back...
The fire bearer frowned and stared at him fiercely:
"You're not willing to join us?"
Xie Yuan just shook his head and stopped talking.
The girl bit her lip and was silent for a long time. Suddenly she said:
"Then beg for mercy."
Xie Yuan looked at her and felt that she was not mentally normal.
The fire bearer noticed the way he looked at the madman and said through gritted teeth:
"Hurry up!"
"Absolutely impossible."
Xie Yuan refused:
"Do you have some perverted rule that only people who don't want to die can be killed? That's boring."
The fire bearer spat:
"I'm not that boring. But wouldn't it be embarrassing to let you go just like that?"
Xie Yuan frowned when he heard this. What the hell was she talking about?
But the next moment, the girl put away her sword and said unexpectedly:
"I'll give you another chance, will you beg for mercy?"
Xie Yuan hesitated for a while, looking very hesitant and hesitant to speak.
The firebender showed an angry look, and swung his sword fiercely towards the empty space beside him:
"Don't take me for a fool!"
Xie Yuan revealed his figure, staggered, and narrowly avoided the sword.
Seeing the deep groove on the ground, Xie Yuan bared his teeth. It was obvious that he didn't want to spare his life, but rather wanted to humiliate him.
He stood there obediently, then shook his head sternly:
"wishful thinking."
The fire-bearing master pursed his lips, snorted, retracted his sword, and turned away.
Xie Yuan stared at the scene in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
He hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to call out:
"Wait, wait a minute!"
The charming girl turned her head and said impatiently:
"doing what?"
"what are you doing?"
Xie Yuan frowned.
"I'm going to kill someone."
"Am I not human?"
"You don't count."
The fire bearer glanced at him and seemed a little annoyed.
Xie Yuan paused for a moment, feeling that the demon woman in front of him seemed to really want to let him go, and for a moment he was a little surprised:
"why?"
The fire bearer stared at him, looking him up and down for a long time:
"Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
"What do you know?"
Xie Yuan frowned slightly.
The fire bearer snorted:
"How dare I? What if I really hurt you and my master peels my skin off?"
"Owner?"
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment. The four envoys vying for the position of the Saint of the Kitchen Goddess had a master?
What does her master have to do with her?
"Who is your master?"
Xie Yuan's heart moved and he asked quickly.
The girl frowned:
"Didn't you see him two days ago?"
"Two days ago? You mean..."
Xie Yuan's mind flashed, and he instantly thought of the mysterious hooded man in Chunjiang Tower.
His lips were a little dry for a moment, and he asked in a low voice:
"She is……"
The girl looked at him strangely:
"I heard that you had dinner together the day before yesterday. Didn't the master tell you anything?"
Xie Yuan then understood why one of the two attendants behind the mysterious man was missing. It turned out that someone had come pretending to be from Zhikong Mountain and entered the palace.
However, thinking of the identity of the mysterious man, he felt a little strange for a moment, and still asked:
"Really... that one? But aren't you guys competing for her position? How come she is your master?"
The girl simply walked back, looked at Xie Yuan, and then said:
"You are really ignorant. The master's situation is rather special, but how much does the outside world know about the affairs within the sect?"
Xie Yuan got her indirect confirmation, and his expression was a little dazed for a moment. He accidentally met the parents?
He said in a somewhat strange tone:
"So she specifically told you not to do anything to me? Then why are you still bothering me?"
The charming girl glanced at him and immediately sneered:
“I listen to my master, but I don’t listen to you, so don’t think I’m afraid of you!
"It's just to measure your own strength. You have the courage, but your ability is lacking."
She mocked Xie Yuan twice, and then said casually:
"But you don't need to say too much in front of the master. She doesn't like people who talk too much."
Xie Yuan saw that she was staring at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he understood that it seemed that she was indeed paying attention to him.
He felt a little complicated, and said puzzledly:
"Before that, the Fire Envoy was shouting and shouting at me to kill me. I almost died in her hands."
When the girl heard him say this, she immediately smiled strangely:
"Isn't that because you concealed your identity? If you had revealed your identity earlier, that violent Liz wouldn't have dared to embarrass you. But it's good this way, hehe."
When Xie Yuan heard this, he remembered that he had used Yao Tianchuan's fake identity before, and felt a little amused. If he hadn't been so capable, he might have been beaten to death.
Then his mind started to work quickly.
It turned out that Miss Qin's mother was still alive. That legendary and terrifying figure not only did not disappear silently, but was reborn. He was still paying attention to Miss Qin and himself. He even asked me to have a meal with her and asked me to leave Beijing...
When Xie Yuan thought of this, he suddenly woke up.
What is this big shot doing in Beijing?
He suddenly became a little nervous:
"Why did your master come to Beijing?"
The fire bearer looked at him and slowly smiled:
"Of course, I was invited by His Majesty the Emperor. They hate the aristocratic families in the same way."
Xie Yuan understood immediately.
Just now he was wondering how the emperor would deal with the heads of several big families, but it turned out that he had invited such helpers!
He instantly became worried about Xie Yi.
Xie Yi came to Beijing quietly for unknown reasons, and perhaps other family heads did the same, and there might be a bigger conspiracy behind it.
However, the emperor is doing the same thing. Maybe he has set a trap and is waiting for them to fall into it!
Xie Yuan immediately said:
"I want to get out of here."
The Firebearer looked at him and blinked his purple eyes:
"It should have already started outside. And even if you go out, what can you do?"
Xie Yuan was silent. He didn't know what he could do.
But it's certainly better than staying here.
"Since you won't do anything to me, just let me out first."
The fire-bearing envoy glanced at him and said with a curled lip:
"I haven't killed anyone yet."
"Anyway, they are just extras. It doesn't matter whether they are killed or not. Why should we listen to the old emperor?"
Xie Yuan tried to persuade her, saying that if she really wanted to kill people, no one here would be spared except himself.
"Then I won't listen to you."
The fire-bearing envoy directly refuted, but then he said:
"That's fine. Let me get you out first so you don't get nasty. I have other things to do here."
Xie Yuan didn't know what she was talking about, so he just continued:
"There are other people, send them out together, they don't have to block your way."
The fire bearer glanced at him sideways, and said mockingly:
"You are truly a hero."
She didn't say much, but took out the palm-sized bonsai again.
When Xie Yuan took a look, he realized that this bonsai was the real "land in the palm of your hand". There were many spots of light on it, which seemed to mark their location. He immediately understood why he was found so easily.
The girl murmured:
"It's boring. If they were all in the third transformation realm, it would be more exciting to kill them. I'm too lazy to do anything with a bunch of trash. This restriction was set by the emperor. If I had full control over it, I would definitely unblock you first..."
She muttered to this point and suddenly stopped.
Xie Yuan saw that she looked different and felt something was wrong.
"what happened?"
The fire bearer raised his head and looked at Xie Yuan with a half-smile, half-sigh expression:
"I seem to have forgotten that in the eyes of this damn emperor, I am no different from you. It would be best if I died."
Xie Yuan had an ominous premonition:
"You mean..."
“I can’t open this thing either.”
The fire bearer raised his head, looked at the misty sky, and sighed.
The mist was hazy, covering the entire world like a thick veil that separated the two worlds.
Xie Yuan's brows suddenly frowned, not knowing whether to scold the fire-bearing man for being useless, or to scold the emperor for being too broad-minded and cruel.
His expression changed constantly, and then he said slowly:
"If we are just trapped here, there won't be any danger, right? There are abundant resources here, and we can live for a lifetime. And no matter what happens outside, there will always be someone to help..."
Judging from the description of the fire-raising envoy and what Xie Yuan himself saw, this mother-in-law still had some sense and was probably not too bad to him.
No matter which side wins in the end, as long as the emperor is not in control of the overall situation, he should be able to be rescued... provided there are no other unexpected events.
The fire bearer looked at him and said faintly:
"This is a temporary repair. It can only work for three days after it is turned on. After three days, the inside and outside will be isolated, and the magic weapon will stop working. I don't know what will happen to the people still inside - but it will definitely not be a good thing."
When Xie Yuan heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"Three days? That should be enough time for the people outside to help us open the ban, right?"
The fire bearer shook his head slowly:
"The emperor has kept everything here a secret. We don't know what the situation is like outside, so it's hard to say if anyone will care about us.
"More importantly, with his skills, I'm afraid that after locking this cage, the key will probably be destroyed directly."
Xie Yuan frowned suddenly.
"This is the real dead end."
The fire bearer murmured, then looked at Xie Yuan:
"Are you scared?"
Xie Yuan said calmly:
"I wasn't afraid just now, and now I'm not going to die, so what am I afraid of?"
The fire bearer blinked and said with a smile:
"Liar. You must have guessed that I have another way, right?"
"I don't know what else you have to offer, but I think it's not the last moment yet."
Xie Yuan nodded slightly.
Just now this woman said that she had something else to do here, and Xie Yuan thought that she might not come in just to be the emperor's killer.
The Firebearer glanced at him, then turned his head to look at the mountain and said:
"There is indeed still a chance, but... I don't know if it will be too late."
"How can I help you?"
Xie Yuan simply said directly.
Lifting fire to make people smile:
"It's really easy to talk to you. Well, do you know what I'm looking for here?"
She didn't wait for Xie Yuan to answer, and she didn't expect him to guess.
"In the history of our Holy Church, there was once a leader who came from here."
"here?"
Xie Yuan asked subconsciously.
"Yes, it's 'here'."
The fire bearer confirmed:
"A world in the palm of your hand.
"In the previous dynasty, there was a divine artifact called the Palm of the Country, which created a real world with mountains, rivers, flying insects and running animals, and even a place where humans could survive.
"So when the previous dynasty obtained this artifact, they moved a group of people here to live, reclaim wasteland, and grow food. Given the climate here, the output of one acre of land is more than ten acres outside. The output of this land, which is less than a state, is better than that of Jiangnan, which is known as the granary of the world.
"However, at first, the nobles naturally told the first generation of residents to move to another place, but they didn't say it was a small world, let alone that they were not allowed to come out for generations. Gradually, ordinary people may think that the world is just a few villages and counties around, and everyone's natural mission is to farm, raise livestock, and collect herbs. Everyone is born to work, not to think or relax, and there is no need to study or practice. One batch after another is born and dies, just like the cattle and horses in the pen pulling the stone mill and plow, turning around and around, with no end.
"But as generations after generations of people have been facing the earth and working hard, there are always a few cattle and sheep who like to look up at the sky, and they slowly discover that something is wrong.
"Whenever there were such people, they were quickly discovered and executed by the supervisors. The initial resistance was useless and did not cause any waves.
“But it’s not meaningless.
"I don't know when, the aboriginals - although their ancestors also migrated here, they have become the aboriginals here over the past few hundred years. Gradually, there was a legacy among them, and the truly awakened ones knew the truth of this world and slowly looked for a way to escape.
“They were discovered and wiped out several times, but the fire was always passed down until finally, a leader emerged.
"That leader's talent was unparalleled in history. He entered the martial arts world by stealing the supervisor's training skills and quickly became stronger than the supervisor. Then, relying on the inheritance accumulated by his predecessors and his own talent, he practiced in this small world for ten years and studied hard. He actually broke through to the Grandmaster level with just a little bit of knowledge.
"After that, he found the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time and escaped from the country in one fell swoop, like a bird flying into the sky or a dragon entering the sea. From then on, he was free. Then, by chance, he joined our Holy Religion and became the leader."
Xie Yuan nodded continuously:
"Sounds like a heroic figure."
"Of course. This leader is also highly respected in the history of our Holy Church. Even your Great Ancestor Dali has received his kindness."
"Is there anything else going on?"
Xie Yuan was stunned. The Zaojiao has always been labeled as a professional rebel. Dali has designated it as the number one target for extermination since its founding. I wonder if Dali Taizu has any connection with it?
He who raises the fire makes the words flow slowly;
“After this leader escaped with everyone’s hopes, all the other people in his kingdom were naturally slaughtered and completely purged.
"The previous dynasty was already in its final years. When he became the leader, he ignited the flames of uprising throughout the country, and the rebel armies rose up everywhere. The one that the leader supported seemed ordinary at the time, and had no kingly aura at all. It was just a few hundred desperate local soldiers led by your great ancestor of Dali.
"If there was no leader, I'm afraid your Dali Taizu would have been wiped out by a small warlord in a state." Xie Yuan listened and nodded slowly:
"According to the Records of Taizu Dali, Taizu started from a county, led a few hundred local soldiers and was victorious in every battle. He quickly swept across the country and completely overthrew the previous dynasty."
The fire-raising envoy smiled and said:
“Can history books be trusted?”
Xie Yuan thought to himself that what she saw was also the history book of the Kitchen God, but he did not say it out loud.
"So, you're saying there are still relics left by that leader here?"
"Yes, very responsive."
The fire-bearing envoy praised:
“Back then, the leader overthrew the previous dynasty behind the scenes, and in the end, he helped Dali Taizu to crack this artifact and kill the last emperor of the previous dynasty.
"It's just that Dali Taizu wanted to continue using it, but the leader destroyed it directly. But after all, this is an extremely extraordinary artifact, and it is also the leader's hometown. He did not destroy it completely, so he could barely repair it. And it is said that he also left it here in the past. That's why I came here. After I find it, there should be a way out."
Xie Yuan asked:
"So do you know where it is?"
The fire-raising envoy turned his head and looked at the mountains:
"It's in this mountain. But it's hard to tell exactly where it is. I'm afraid we can only search slowly."
"We have less than three days."
Xie Yuan frowned.
The fire bearer suddenly looked at him and said with a smile:
"So you have to raise your arms and give a call."
After hearing this, Xie Yuan finally understood what she meant and nodded slowly.
At the same time, he was puzzled, and subconsciously wondered if she had waited for this moment to spare his life...
"Fortunately, I have a kind heart and have not committed any crime of murder, so some people are willing to work for me."
Just at this moment, the fire-bearing envoy was still smiling and looked happy.
Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the mountain temple.
Although it is working for the witch, it is also a way to save oneself. At least it seems to be the only way for now.
The fire bearer followed Xie Yuan slowly with his hands behind his back, his eyes moving around his back with a hint of a smile on his face.
When he arrived near the mountain temple, Xie Yuan saw two figures running towards him like the wind. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were Wang Qiwen and Cui Lei.
"Thanks, brother!"
Cui Lei saw him and showed his joy:
"You're back! I'm glad you're okay. I met up with the others at this mountain temple. I heard that you hadn't come back for a while, so I came to look for you."
Wang Qiwen glanced at Xie Yuan, his expression slightly relaxed, then immediately looked at the fire-bearing envoy behind him with a look of doubt in his eyes.
The Fire-Bearing Envoy revealed his true appearance at this time, which was completely different from his previous appearance of Zhikong Shan Tiansuan who was fully wrapped and mysterious.
She has a pure and beautiful face, but her makeup is seductive. She is young and has a graceful figure. She exudes an aura of youth and charm that makes men's blood boil.
It looks like the clothes he is wearing are similar to those of Zhikong Shan Tiansuan, but his temperament is completely different.
Xie Yuan was about to tell everything, but he held up the fire and smiled slightly, saying:
"My name is Zhikongshan Yunxing, nice to meet you two gentlemen."
After she said this, she bowed slightly, looking very polite.
This was probably the first time that everyone at the Qianlong Banquet heard the mysterious "Zhikongshan Tiansuanzi" speak.
Upon seeing this, Wang and Cui both quickly returned the greeting.
Cui Lei also winked at Xie Yuan. He could naturally see that the two seemed to have a closer relationship.
"Thank you, brother. It's OK. You've even asked Miss Tiansuan to show up for you."
Before Xie Yuan could reply, Wang Qiwen said:
"Brother Cui, how can you be rude to Miss Yun?"
Cui Lei rolled his eyes directly:
"Put aside your tricks with me."
Wang Qiwen frowned and was about to continue speaking when the fire maker stepped forward and said:
"You two, Master Xie and I are here to discuss important matters here with you."
When Cui Wang and the other man heard this, they immediately stopped arguing and nodded:
"Then let us go back to the temple."
"By the way, Brother Pei, did you see it? Everyone is here, except you two and Brother Pei."
The fire bearer blinked:
“I didn’t see it.”
"so."
Wang Qiwen nodded:
"Let's go first and see if we can find Brother Pei later."
Cui Wang and the other two led the way. Xie Yuan wanted to speak when he heard a voice as soft as a mosquito's humming in his ears:
"I think you'd better not say too much. If I tell them everything, I'm sure many of them won't believe me, and then it will be you and everyone else's lives that will be in jeopardy."
This touched Xie Yuan's heart. He hesitated for a moment and looked at the fire bearer who seemed to be smiling beside him. The fragrance of Ru Tan could be clearly smelled again.
He snorted and whispered:
"The reason you're worried is because it might affect your life."
"I don't care about life or death."
The fire bearer smiled slightly, looking indifferent.
Xie Yuan looked this mysterious and powerful woman up and down, wondering what she was thinking. He even wondered if Yun Xing was her real name.
Let's just assume it's true for now. There's no other choice now.
Xie Yuan remained silent, tacitly agreeing to her plan.
Several people returned to the mountain temple. Including the lying warrior named Tang, there were thirteen people in total.
In theory, the Hidden Dragon Banquet only invited the top eighteen people on the Hidden Dragon List. Except for a few people who didn't come, plus Xie Yuan who was not in the top eighteen, there were a total of fourteen people.
The warrior named Tang used the precious medicine provided by others and barely managed to hang on to his life, but his breath was still weak.
After everyone gathered, Wang Qiwen looked at Yun Xing and said:
"Miss Yun, you said you had something important to share with everyone. What is it exactly?"
"But does it have anything to do with us getting out?"
Cui Lei was more direct.
Yun Xing nodded, her voice clear:
"I think you all know that we can't get out for the time being."
Everyone looked at Tang Zhen lying on the ground and nodded silently.
"There is another piece of news. This kingdom in the palm of your hand is only a temporary repair and is not perfect at all. If we don't get out within three days, I'm afraid we will be left here forever."
Yunxing continued.
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
"No way? Since there's a problem, it should be fixed quickly."
"Yes, my master is out there. He is in the capital. He will definitely find a way to save me!"
Yun Xing looked at everyone who was a little panicked, smiled slightly, and said slowly:
"Someone came to rescue? If so, then this problem is man-made?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Wang Qiwen and Cui Lei frowned at the same time. They obviously understood the implication of Yun Xing's words.
"Miss Yun, please don't talk nonsense. The Emperor... Your Majesty, why did he do this?"
Someone said in surprise.
Yunxing shook his head:
"I don't know. I'm just saying a possibility. But if that's the case, I'm afraid no one will come to save us within three days. We may even wait until we die. I'm afraid people outside don't know."
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and someone looked at Yun Xing quickly:
"Miss Yun, you are the Tian Suanzi of Zhikong Mountain, the next mountain master. Your methods are very mysterious. You must have a way, right?"
When the others heard this, they reacted at the same time and immediately cast hopeful eyes towards Yun Xing.
Seeing this, Xie Yuan sighed secretly. This witch's ability to bewitch people was extremely strong, and these people had subconsciously regarded her as a life-saving straw.
Yunxing put on a serious face and nodded:
"Indeed, there is. I have already figured out that there must be a relic left by an ancient great man in the mountains, which contains the secret to unlocking the kingdom in your hands. If we can find it, we can go out together.
"It's just that I don't know exactly where it is, so we need everyone to work together to find the ruins and then break this situation."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited and said they would do their best to find the ruins.
"What does this relic look like?"
Someone asked the key question.
Yunxing shook his head:
"I don't know the details, but if there are people in this mountain who have found something strange, whether it's a secret room in a temple or a cave, as long as there's something strange hidden, then it's possible."
When everyone heard this, they frowned slightly. The area was really too large. No wonder they had to search together.
Without further ado, seeing that they had asked almost all the questions, everyone split up and agreed to send a signal to contact each other as soon as they found something. Although three days was not too short, it was not long either. Everyone was afraid that what Yun Xing said would come true, and then they would foolishly wait for three days to destroy themselves.
As warriors, most people still want to take their destiny into their own hands.
"But why hasn't Brother Pei come back yet? Should we go find him first? Maybe he's in trouble."
Someone wondered.
Yun Xing shook his head calmly:
"There shouldn't be any danger in this mountain that can harm a warrior like this. He may have gone far away. I'll leave him a letter. He will understand the whole story when he comes back."
When others heard this, they also thought it made sense and stopped worrying about it.
Cui Lei looked at Yun Xing with some confusion.
Tian Suanzi of Zhikong Mountain had been silent before, as if he did not exist, but now he is the leader of the group, with his own aura, as if he has become a different person.
Could it be that the veil mask actually sealed her? Fortunately, Brother Xie took it off, revealing the real Yun Xing, which was quite a contrast?
Cui Lei shook his head, chose a direction, and went searching up the mountain.
Xie Yuan and Yun Xing were the only two people in the temple. Yun Xing smiled:
"This mountain is not very vast. As long as our luck is not too bad, we should be able to reap rewards soon."
Seeing how she looked very confident, Xie Yuan felt that she had expected this scene.
He frowned slightly and said slowly:
"Do you want to leave a book?"
Yun Xing glanced at him and said with a smile:
"Everyone is dead, what are we going to do with ghosts?"
"Huh, then why are you still standing here?"
Xie Yuan snorted. Although he was not familiar with the warrior named Pei and did not feel much about his death, he could not stand Yun Xing's style of killing people without blinking an eye.
It’s a pity that he can’t beat her... Not to mention him alone, even if all the others were combined, they couldn’t beat her.
His skills were limited to the first level, and the gap between him and the third level was not something that could be made up by numbers, not to mention that their numbers were not large, and Yun Xing was not an ordinary person in the third level of Qi and blood.
Xie Yuan had no choice but to walk silently with Yun Xing and head up the mountain.
The two of them also used their physical skills, using their eyesight, blood, perception, and even their intuition and experience as warriors to explore everywhere, but they did not gain anything for the time being.
Occasionally, when someone else sent out a signal, Yun Xing would insist on taking Xie Yuan with him and rushing over at a moderate pace, but they returned empty-handed several times.
Xie Yuan felt more and more that Yun Xing seemed to have other intentions. With her third-level transformation skills, she could search the mountain more quickly, but she insisted on traveling around with him and being inseparable.
Could it be that she actually knew where the ruins were? Then why did she do this?
Xie Yuan began to feel doubtful.
But after a day and a night, everyone still had no results and became anxious.
Xie Yuan discovered that Yun Xing's expression seemed to have become a little more serious, her movements had obviously quickened, and her search speed had also increased a lot. Only then did he realize that she really seemed to not know.
He hissed:
"You actually don't know where the so-called ruins mechanism is?"
"I know what I need you bunch of rubbish for."
Yunxing has become a little irritable.
Xie Yuan said incredulously:
"Then you were calm and confident of victory before?"
"That's because, it shouldn't be that hard to find... Why is my luck so bad?"
Yun Xing frowned and muttered.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuan remained silent for a while.
Luck is something that is hard to describe for him.
If you say he is a bad guy, he can sometimes turn danger into safety and is often blessed with good luck in dangerous situations; if you say he is not a bad guy, it is obvious that there are too many things happening to him.
It can't be that I am the nemesis of the fire? Those who want to choose the saint should have a stronger fate.
Xie Yuan exhaled and also felt a little urgent.
He had already searched to a location near the top of the mountain, but he had actually been up and down twice before and had checked many places, so there was nothing special.
What should we do? It was pure luck. So many people turned the mountain upside down, but found nothing. Could it be that Yun Xing gave us false information?
Xie Yuan frowned, wondering if he could not rely on her and had to think of another way, when he suddenly felt his surroundings lighten, as if there were a little golden light covering the void, and he felt refreshed as if he was experiencing good fortune.
"This……"
Xie Yuan was a little surprised. He had experienced this feeling several times before. What was it?
He was thinking when suddenly his feet felt empty and he stepped on a rock. Then the hillside collapsed as if an avalanche had been triggered. Amidst the rumbling sound and rising smoke and dust, a door appeared in the soil.
Xie Yuan stared at the obviously strange door, stunned.
Just... found it?
Just stepping on a stone will cause the mountain to collapse?
I had this special feeling several times before, and each time it came into play at a critical moment in the ruins.
Could it be that I am really the one favored by the goddess of fate?
Xie Yuan was a little puzzled, and then he saw Yun Xing running over from the other side, looking at the door of the cave with an excited expression:
"It's here! It's here!"
She shook Xie Yuan's shoulders and said excitedly:
"Your luck is extraordinary!"
"Is it……"
Xie Yuan was shaken by her until he was dizzy, and then he saw her push him away. He took a step to the door and pushed it open.
"Aren't you going to call other people over?"
Xie Yuan frowned.
"Why did you call them here? To divide the treasure?"
Yun Xing turned her head and smiled charmingly, her purple eyeshadow seemed to flow in the smoke and dust:
"If they want to fight with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but kill them."
Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then said:
"The matter of going out..."
"Now that the Kingdom is opened, everyone will naturally leave. There is no need to stay here. Their mission has been completed."
Yun Xing said calmly, and then smiled again:
"But the top eighteen on the Hidden Dragon List combined seem to be inferior to you, so it's only right to keep you."
Xie Yuan looked at her expression and said in a deep voice:
"You really did trick me and others into helping you find this relic."
Yun Xing smiled:
"Don't talk nonsense, how could I be that kind of person?"
She walked into the cave first, and after a few steps, she saw that Xie Yuan didn't follow her, so she raised the corner of her lips:
"Don't you want to come? There are real treasures in here."
"What treasure is left here?"
Xie Yuan frowned.
Yunxing blinked and lowered his voice:
"I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you...
"The leader left a page of the Black Book here."
When Xie Yuan heard this, he was stunned.
Is there a black book here?
Yun Xing saw that Xie Yuan was indeed stunned, and immediately chuckled:
"Are you scared? Despite your ignorant look, I finally know what the Black Book is."
Xie Yuan had a strange look on his face, thought for a moment, and then took a step forward to follow.
Walking to Yunxing's side, he whispered:
"You're quite generous."
"I didn't say I would give it to you, so can you still argue with me?"
Yun Xing smiled:
"I'm just giving you some advice. Remember to say good things about me in front of the master in the future! When I become the next Saint, I'll make you a Dharma King or something, and you'll definitely get some benefits."
Xie Yuan sneered:
"You can't even draw a pie in the sky, so why don't you just let me be the leader? Isn't that wonderful?"
"That's not impossible, as long as you are willing to join the church."
Yunxing smiled.
Xie Yuan glanced at her and felt that what she said was half true and half false, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious:
"You seem to really want me to join your sect."
Yunxing nodded:
"Yes. I don't need to say much about your talent. Although it is not as good as mine, it is also very good. What is more important is your ideas and knowledge. You are obviously a child of a noble family, but you have a broad vision and wisdom that transcends the world. It is rare. Even I am inspired. You really deserve to be a follower of my sect. Of course, you cannot be the leader, but if you are willing to join the sect, I can recommend you to become a Dharma Emissary directly. Your status is not lower than mine - you just can't be a saint."
Seeing that she was serious, Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"That's all. Our ideas are similar only on the surface, but actually we are going in opposite directions. And I don't know your cult's philosophy, but your methods are not decent anyway. Bloody and bizarre incidents have occurred one after another in various places, with countless innocent deaths and injuries, all caused by your Zao Cult."
Seeing him refuse again, Yun Xing's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said lightly:
"Foolishness is beyond measure. All living things are but illusions. Only in the fire can the truth be seen."
Xie Yuan didn't want to argue with the cultist, especially since he couldn't defeat her, so he had to ignore her.
"arrive."
Xie Yuan and Yun Xing walked along the mountain for a while and felt that there was a stone gate in front of them in the center of the mountain with a plaque on it.
Xie Yuan looked up, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, as if he was pricked.
Inscribed on the plaque are four large characters that represent both repression and wildness. The horizontal and vertical strokes are as sharp as swords, as if they could pierce through the plaque and the sky, but they are helplessly confined in this small space.
For the first time, Xie Yuan felt strong emotions from a few words. Strong resentment and anger arose in his heart. He seemed to see a desolate figure standing here, picking up a pen and writing down these four big words in front of him:
