He looked at Yin Liuli nervously, swallowing hard.
"The secret room is inside, a room dedicated to the Three Pure Ones, with the entrance behind the statues of the Three Pure Ones."
The abbot has set up a fiery array; I dare not go in…
Before the words were finished, a piercing screech suddenly came from inside the courtyard wall.
A pigeon flew over it, seemingly crashing into an invisible wall. Flames suddenly erupted, instantly incinerating the struggling pigeon.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt barbecue.
The Taoist priest, terrified, said, "I didn't lie to you. Can you...can you remove the talisman from me?"
"Bang"
Yin Liuli raised her hand and struck him hard on the back of the head, causing the Taoist to faint.
Gu Jinyan took a deep breath. "Liuli, is this the Blazing Flame Array?"
He was genuinely startled.
Behind the small gate was a small courtyard, with one side leaning against a rocky hillside; it looked quite ordinary.
If no one had led the way and they had to find their way here on their own, the guards would probably end up as roast pigeons too!
Thank goodness Yin Liuli was there!
"The Blazing Flame Array is formed from Samadhi True Fire, capable of burning both yang and yin, making it extremely dangerous."
Yin Liuli nodded and said in a deep voice,
"Tell your men to come out. Once I break the formation, come in with me to rescue them."
Gu Jinyan raised his hand and made a strange gesture, and in an instant, several figures appeared from all directions.
After a moment of silence, Yin Liuli recalled a method from the ancient texts left by her ancestor to break the Blazing Flame Array.
She tore a palm-sized piece of cloth from the hem of Gu Jinyan's clothes.
He raised his hand, bit the tip of his index finger, and used the blood as ink to draw a "water-controlling spell" on the cloth, chanting it rapidly.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, from which water is born; the essence of water serves as a catalyst, extinguishing the true fire of samadhi! So be it!"
As the true energy circulated, a light seemed to emanate from the still-bleeding fingertips.
"break!"
Yin Liuli tossed the talisman in her hand high into the air. With a soft shout, the talisman burst into a dazzling flame and instantly transformed into a beam of light that shot towards the formation.
"Buzz..."
Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet suddenly tremble, and a loud bang filled their ears, sending a shiver down their spines.
"alright."
Yin Liuli steadied her breathing and said coldly, "After you come inside with me, don't touch anything you see. Just follow my orders."
A talisman capable of breaking through Samadhi Fire is naturally extraordinary; she used a considerable amount of true energy to activate it, causing her aura to become slightly disordered.
"yes!"
The guards responded in unison.
Although they couldn't see the formation or its energy, the feeling of that earthquake just now didn't come out of nowhere.
The way everyone looked at Yin Liuli changed.
Pushing open the small door, you'll find a small courtyard of about 40 or 50 square meters, with a small house built against the mountain rocks right in front of you.
The room was dimly lit and the atmosphere was cold and gloomy.
A statue of the Three Pure Ones was enshrined in the center of the wall. A guard went forward to investigate and found a hidden door behind the statue.
"Creak..."
Upon opening the hidden door, a damp and heavy atmosphere rushed out, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
A dark, eerie passageway stretched downwards, its bottom invisible.
Yin Liuli tapped her earlobe and said in her mind, "Come out and scout ahead."
"yes!"
A wah-yah sound burst from her ear, transforming into the appearance of a blue-faced, ferocious ghost with a blue face and fangs. In a flash, it disappeared into the dark passage.
Yin Liuli took off to follow, but Gu Jinyan grabbed her arm and said seriously,
"Liuli, I'll go first."
Yin Liuli glanced at him, shook her head, and said,
"No need, Waaaaa has gone ahead to scout ahead. You guys stay close to me, and call out if you encounter any danger."
Gu Jinyan frowned. "Whoa? What is it?"
Yin Liuli raised her finger and pointed to her ear.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Waaaa is my messenger god, a very powerful ghost general."
Gu Jinyan, "..."
No wonder I often see her tapping her earlobe or touching it; it turns out there's something like that inside her ear!
……
The dark passage was winding and twisting, so dark it sent chills down one's spine.
The further down you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes, making you feel nauseous.
Before long, the view suddenly opened up, and a gloomy, dark underground cave came into view.
The guards gasped involuntarily at the sight before them, their blood seemingly freezing.
Yin Liuli glanced at it only once before squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Wu Yazi, you're a complete beast!"
Even though Gu Jinyan had seen many bloody scenes, his deep eyes were now filled with shock and hatred.
This cave is simply hell on earth!
Forty-nine cross-shaped wooden beams stood around the cave, arranged in a seven-seven pattern, with the boys tightly bound to nineteen of them.
The boy was stripped naked, and a thin bamboo tube was sticking out of his chest, with blood flowing from the bottom of the tube.
Blood dripped into a circular pool in the center, the blood in the pool was indescribably glaring.
Their faces were contorted in pain and horror, their small bodies trembling incessantly, their eyes filled with nothing but pain and terror as they watched their blood flow into the pool of blood.
With mud stuck in his mouth, he could only make whimpering sounds from his throat...
Yin Liuli looked around warily, but couldn't find Wuyazi, so she frowned and said...
"Gu Jinyan, Wa Ya Ya and I will keep watch, you guys rescue them! Hurry!"
The guards could no longer contain their rage and rushed forward to rescue the boys.
"Ah-Yun!"
Gu Jinyan spotted Fang Zhengyun and Gao Hong, their hands and feet bound, amidst the rubble. He clenched his fists, suppressing his rage, and shouted, "Save them!"
Fang Zhengyun's head was covered in blood, and his face was dazed.
The moment he saw Gu Jinyan, his eyes widened, and he desperately cried out for help.
"Waaah! Waaah..."
"Ah-Yun, I'm here!"
Gu Jinyan rushed forward and hugged him, her voice choked with emotion, "Don't be afraid, your big brother is here! Your big brother has come to save you..."
"Big brother, how...how did you find us?"
Fang Zhengyun threw herself into his arms, her body trembling uncontrollably, and sobbed, "I... I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime!"
Gu Jinyan calmed himself down and quickly cut the ropes binding his hands and feet. "Liuli cast a divination and predicted that you would be imprisoned among the rocks and that you should go north to find her."
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, remembering what Yin Liuli had said:
If you encounter water, you will be alert but safe; if you don't, you will face many dangers.
He subconsciously looked behind Fang Zhengyun and sure enough, he saw an underground river, about the size of a bucket, flowing gently.
"I knew Liuli was amazing! She even found me here. Where is she?"
Fang Zhengyun was overjoyed, anxiously searching for Yin Liuli. "She saved my life! She saved so many lives!"
"call……"
Before he finished speaking, the oil lamps in the cave suddenly flickered, and the leaping flames instantly turned into a sinister, eerie green.
