Chapter 562.
Tian Youfang here was an old horse that knew the way.
With him leading the way, the process of stepping into this Compassion God Cave was smooth.
“Within this cave, there should be two chambers.
“The first one is where the Compulsion King is located. Back then, I escaped from the Flute Clan after stealing the Compulsion King,” he said.
“It is this one.”
Tian Youfang said as he led the way, taking a step forward, his eyes suddenly opened up.
A rather odd cave chamber was presented.
In the middle of this one cave room, a high platform was placed.
On the platform was an open box.
However, the box was already empty, while on top of the surrounding ground, it was crisscrossed with potholes, which was both complex and seemed to contain some kind of law.
Tian Youfang said:
“But wherever there is a place where the Compassion King exists, there are bound to be ten thousand parasites following around.
“However, once the Compassion King is gone, these parasites that serve the Compassion King will die in this way.”
As he said this, he pointed to where those pits on the ground were and said:
“This is the compulsion bed of the compulsion insects, only, the compulsion bed is still there, and before the Compulsion King returns, they will have no reason to exist.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“The flute clan’s tactics are indeed somewhat interesting.”
“I’ve made Your Holiness laugh.”
Tian Youfang smiled and pointed to another opening within this cave and said:
“This is the entrance to the second level of the cave chamber.
“It’s just that back then, when I had just stepped foot here, the instinctive parasites in my body desperately signaled the alarm.
“so that I didn’t dare to take half a step.
“Now that Your Holiness is by my side, I think I can explore it.”
“Precisely to explore, lead the way.”
Jiang Ran gently waved his hand.
Tian Youyu conveniently took the lead, stepping over the compulsion bed on the ground, arriving at the entrance to the second level of the cave chamber and delving deeper into it.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi followed closely behind.
This place was far darker and more cramped than before.
Jiang Ran’s fire discount flickered brightly and dimly, reflecting the silhouettes of the three people in a strange light.
Tang Yuyi hugged her arms and scrunched her neck:
“Why does it seem like it’s a bit more gloomy here?”
“It’s not as if, it’s indeed gloomy and cold.”
Tian Youfang said softly:
“Moreover, at this moment, the instinctive compulsion in my body is almost wailing …… The road ahead is unpredictable, please be careful, Your Holiness.”
“Well, don’t worry is all.”
Jiang Ran raised his eyes, his five senses were put into play, but he didn’t notice anything strange.
At this exact moment, Tian Youfang’s figure happened to walk into a turn.
Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi and he was a step away, but they didn’t want to, one step out, but they had already disappeared Tian Youfang’s traces.
“Where is he?”
Tang Wuyi’s face changed:
“Brother-in-law, you’re bright eared, have you ever heard the sound of an organ running?”
“It’s not the organs. ……”
Jiang Ran gently exhaled:
“It’s a formation.”
He gazed at the several stalactites in the cave, and after a slight meditation, he turned his five fingers around, ingested a stone, flexed his fingers and flicked it, and heard a snap.
The scenery around him suddenly changed.
It was still a tunnel, but the direction changed instantly.
“This ……”
Tang Yuyi froze:
“Brother-in-law, I can understand the wonders of the formation, but …… according to that appearance just now, if we continue forward, I’m afraid we’ll just crash into the mountain wall, right?
“Even if the formation is no more subtle and profound, it’s impossible to change the terrain, right?”
“So, this is the second of the formations.”
Jiang Ran touched Tang Yuyi’s head:
“In other words, there are two paths here.
“The first is the one we initially saw, and the second is this one after I broke the first heavy formation.
“Whether there are any other paths after this first array formation is yet to be seen.
“Whether this Tian Youfang just turned out of the formation and stepped into this one tunnel, or whether he took another path, that’s even more inexplicable.”
“…… That’s also simple, you just break all of this formation.”
“How can it be that easy.”
Jiang Ran was helpless for a while:
“Although I have followed Jingtan Jushi for a few days to learn about formations, the wonders of this path and its depths are not under martial arts.
“In this short period of time, I’ve only scratched the surface of what I’ve learned, and I’m far from proficient.
“This place formation is subtle, I’m afraid that Jingtan Jushi personally, it is difficult to crack all ……”
“Then what do we do?”
Tang Yuyi blinked at Jiang Ran.
“If we’re here, then we’ll be safe, this formation, even if it’s as subtle as it is, it won’t be able to send us outside of this Compassionate God Cave.
“Left and right are in this cave, then it’s better, to explore one path at a time for clarity.”
He said as he pulled over Tang Yuyi’s hand and walked towards this newly appeared path.
Tang Yuyi nodded, but still couldn’t help but say:
“Who exactly did you say this person was just now?”
“This person ah ……”
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, gently shaking his head:
“Nowadays it is not yet possible to assert …… but no matter who he is, he will never be Tian Youfang.”
Wu Di once said that when he parted ways with Tian Youfang, he gave the compulsion puppet to Tian Youfang.
The Compassion Puppet hid the Compassion King inside its body.
This was a great killing weapon.
Now that he had returned to the Flute Clan and wanted to save Wu Di, Tian Youfang would not let this great killing weapon go unused.
Even if it was just a precautionary thought, he should keep the Compulsion King by his side, just in case of an emergency.
This is one of the ……
Secondly, if he really was Tian Youfang, he wouldn’t have come to the Compassion God Cave even though he knew what Jiang Ran was going to do.
Tian Youfang knew very well what kind of skills Jiang Ran had.
If he didn’t go outside to call away Tian Miao Miao, Jin Ge and the others, why did he run here to fill in the mess?
Of course, there is a third point.
The chaos caused by Tian Miaomiao and the others has gradually calmed down.
It can be seen that they have retreated.
But Jin Ge had said that they were using themselves as bait on this trip so that they could facilitate Tian Youfang’s rescue.
In other words, the core key lay with Tian Youfang.
If he didn’t say go, how could they go?
But if he took Tian Miaomiao and the others away, how could he appear in the Compassion God Cave?
Therefore, when Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi saw Tian Youfang for the first time, they already knew that there was something wrong with this person’s identity.
But neither of them broke it down.
It just so happened that there was a shortage of people to lead the way, so come on it was.
The light of the fire folders was limited, and between the light of the fire and the light of the fire, it swiftly disappeared.
Jiang Ran is very well prepared, walking in the jianghu people, who do not carry ten or eight fire folders in case of emergency?
Immediately threw away the old one, and took out a new one.
The path of this cave is very long, Jiang Ran pulled Tang Wuyi to walk for a while, but did not see any changes.
After walking like this for about an incense stick, Tang Yingyi suddenly let out an ‘eek’.
Gently tugging on Jiang Ran’s hand, she squatted down and picked up something from the ground.
Waving her hand at Jiang Ran:
“Brother-in-law, don’t go away, we’re going in circles.”
What she was holding in her hand was clearly the fire discount that Jiang Ran had thrown down.
Jiang Ran was not the least bit surprised and said:
“Anticipated, keep going ……”
“What did you anticipate?”
“The formations within the Compassionate God Cave are very large, complex, and subtle,” he said.
“It wouldn’t be just the one from earlier, otherwise, that stone I squared would have broken the formation.
“However, the end result is that the formation is still there.
“Then it means that there is another place that implicates the eye of the formation …… Then it is only natural that there will be a formation obstruction on this path.
“Well, it can now be said that this formation is assembled, a ring sets a ring.
“And yet, it involves one hair and affects the whole body.
“It is expected that nowadays, even if we turn back the same way, it will be difficult for us to find the previous fork in the road.
“And when I put this formation …… well, this is it.”
Jiang Ran pulled Tang Wuyi while saying, if intentionally, seemingly unintentionally, he took a step outward.
After this step fell, Tang Wuyi realized that Jiang Ran seemed to have merged into the surrounding stones, leaving only half of his hand still pulling his own hand, sticking out of the stone.
Immediately after he was yanked by Jiang Ran, another cave suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams …… I used up all my life’s learning, how can I see that this is the way out. As a result, this way out is on the contrary a stone …… don’t you think it’s interesting?”
Jiang Ran squeezed his eyes at Tang Wuyi:
“This is an illusionary formation, what you see is not real, the real and the fake intersect with each other, making it difficult for people to get to the truth.
“But as long as one is firm in what one thinks in one’s heart, one can break through the illusion.”
“What is meant by breaking through, is to run headlong into it?”
Tang Yuyi subconsciously covered her head.
“Sometimes it is necessary to have this kind of determination not to turn back until you hit the south wall, otherwise, you can only follow the path given by the person who set up the formation, and just keep going around in circles here.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“This one formation can’t be broken yet, otherwise, it will be really hard for us to find our way out.
“Mountains and rivers are one change, wind and clouds are one change, and flowing water is one change.
“One change follows the other. If it was the mountains and rivers at first, the first time I broke the formation it became the wind and clouds.
“Now we are all in the wind and clouds, but if we still break, we will become flowing water.
“By then, what the wind and clouds know will be of no benefit to the flowing water.
“What we know will become a barrier, blocking your eyes and mine from seeing the truth.”
Tang Yuyi’s brain buzzed as she listened:
“Alright, alright, brother-in-law you’re great, you’re a formation expert, don’t tell me, where are we now?”
“Compassion God Cave ah ……”
Jiang Ran smiled helplessly.
“What about the fake Tian Yufang?”
“Probably also in.”
“This person is interesting …… fake Tian Youfang, introducing us into the depths of this Compulsion God Cave.
“What exactly do you want to do?”
“The answer might be up front …… Of course, it might also be behind.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“All in all, it’s better to go forward first.”
The two continued to walk forward, and as they did so, Tang Yuyi muttered in a low voice:
“Brother-in-law, do you know that you owe it to yourself to talk like that.”
“Hm? Can you beat me?”
“That’s naturally unbeatable.”
“So it’s better to put away this dangerous mind of yours.”
“But I can team up with my sister and make you lose your armor!!!”
“?”
Jiang Ran suddenly felt as if something was wrong with this topic all of a sudden.
Sighing helplessly, he reached out and poked her on the center of her eyebrow:
“Little girl, day in and day out, still saying some words of tigers and wolves.”
“Where are the words of a tiger and wolf? Where are you thinking of, brother-in-law?”
Tang Yuyi said with a smile:
“I’m saying that my sister and I will join forces to beat you together, guaranteeing that we will beat you all over the place!
“How do you …… what kind of tiger and wolf words are these? Or have you thought of something else in your mind?
“Aiya, brother-in-law, this can’t be done, I’m your wife and sister!”
Jiang Ran cried and laughed, in this Compassionate God Cave, he also dared to talk such nonsense.
Should I say that it’s worthy of being the Holy Daughter of the Demon Sect?
As he was talking, his eyes suddenly opened up.
What appeared in front of him was a person’s four-square cave room.
Previously, the place where the Compass King was stored, there were already many traces of human flavor engravings.
Now in this cave room, it was even more obvious.
Surrounded by straight walls, a piece of green stone was divided neatly, built up.
The floor was flat, and there were eight platforms on the left and right sides.
Standing on the platforms was a single stone sculpture.
These stone sculptures were all humanoid, each holding a piccolo, clearly in the shape of the flute tribe’s subjects.
Tang Yuyi couldn’t be bothered to flirt with Jiang Ran, her eyes looking over, her brows furrowing slightly:
“It feels a bit strange …… as far as statues go, they seem a bit too small.”
Statues, especially those placed in such a place, should naturally be a bit larger so as to deter the incoming people.
But these statues in front of them were all about the size of a real person.
Jiang Ran thoughtfully led Tang Yuyi forward.
But did not want to, just out of a step, heard a click.
The sound did not come from under his feet, but from a statue next to him.
Just saw a crack present, and spread all over the body at a very fast speed.
As if it was a charging horn …… After the crack on this statue was presented, the other seven statues also cracked.
Just heard bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang successive sounds resounded.
A silhouette leapt out from among the sculptures.
At the same time, the sound of the tide rose, from within the surrounding walls, gushed out densely packed black bugs.
These bugs are not too big, black, with a spike on the head, if you pick up a closer look, you will find that its underbelly foot is a sharp tooth.
“It’s not a sculpture, it’s a person!!!”
Tang Yuyi’s eyes glowed together, and there were stars flowing in her eyes.
Heart Demon Thought!
“Stop!”
Tang Yuyi’s voice rang out.
Yet the parasites around them still whistled without the slightest pause.
At the same time, three figures broke through the air, coming straight at Jiang Ran and Tang Yingyi.
Jiang Ran pulled over Tang Yuyi’s hand and yanked it behind him.
The Indestructible Big Dipper turned, and with a whirring sound, an astral wind shielded the two people in the center.
The surrounding parasites just touched the Indestructible Big Dipper and flew away, but there were also tenacious people who climbed along with the Big Dipper, even if they were shattered by the wind, they were not willing to retreat, and ultimately died on top of the Big Dipper.
Layers upon layers, densely packed, endless.
Rather, it was how those three figures came, and then how they went back.
The moves they made, they also hit their own bodies as much as they could.
But these few figures, rolled on the ground, as if nothing had happened, climbed back up, and had to charge forward.
Tang Yuyi was only surprised at this point and said:
“Heart Demon Thoughts are useless?”
“Heart Demon Thoughts can be used on the living, can it still be used on the dead?”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“How can a living person be sealed in stone?
“Not eating, not drinking, not going to the toilet? Or, every time they go out to do these things, and when they come back, they reseal themselves in the stone again?
“Not too much trouble?”
“So …… they’re not living?”
“Uh-huh.”
Jiang Ran looked up at the three figures who were slapping the Indestructible Heavenly Dipper with all their might and said softly:
“Can you still remember that Bedlam Clan?”
This incident hadn’t happened far away, just two days ago.
Tang Yuyi naturally remembered it.
This Be Clan controlled the Iron Thread Worms and thus manipulated corpses, their methods could be described as bizarre to the extreme.
Following that, it dawned on her:
“It turns out they were manipulated by similar means.”
“Not only that ……”
Jiang Ran pulled Tang Yuyi with one hand, the other behind his back, and said softly:
“These guys have strong brawn, and they still retain some of the instincts they possessed when they were as.
“Able to manipulate parasites to kill.
“It probably took a lot of effort to try and get these eight.”
As he said this, he suddenly took out a piccolo from his arms as well.
This was something that Jiang Ran had seized from the Ghost King’s Palace back when they first went there.
The piccolo of the Flute Clan was very rare, and Jiang Ran had always carried it with him.
There just wasn’t much opportunity to use it.
He said to Tang Yuyi:
“How about I play a song for you?”
“Yes, yes!”
Tang Yuyi didn’t look nervous.
She was only afraid of ghosts.
Other than that, she wasn’t afraid of anything else even death, let alone the situation in front of her.
Seeing Jiang Ran bring the piccolo to his lips, he took a deep breath and blew.
There was no sound!
Yet there was an odd rhythm.
The parasites that were originally bent on pouncing on Jiang Ran suddenly rippled.
It vaguely presented, the sight of a self-inflicted battle.
Yet there were five figures on the opposite side, strengthening the force of the blowing.
Letting the few waves that had just risen once again return to calm.
Tang Paintings laughed out loud at this:
“Brother-in-law, you can’t do this either.”
Jiang Ran bristled and removed the piccolo:
“The pouring ground is not the same as what people have been practicing since they were young, and I just know a skinny thing ……
“That’s just it.”
When he said this, his sleeve slightly shook, a coldness immediately from him as the center, spread towards the eight directions.
The cold wind swept towards the four directions.
Countless parasites fell under the cold wind, their bodies drifting down like snow.
But more parasites came after them.
Tang Yuyi’s brows tightened as she watched:
“How can there be so many?”
“A hundred thousand years of accumulation, how can it be underestimated?”
Jiang Ran gently shook his head:
“It seems that we have to capture the thief first ……”
At this point that cold wind suddenly turned into a blade.
Directly toward the opposite side of the five puppets that are blowing to chop.
This is Jiang Ran shock God nine knives in the Silent World Wind.
Silent world wind …… after the wind, the earth as silent.
And how could it be blocked by a few puppets?
Only hearing the sound of bang bang bang, the piccolos in their hands crumbled as much as they could.
With them missing, the parasites around them immediately lost their target.
As soon as they were swept by Jiang Ran’s wind, they faded away like a tidal wave.
Immediately after Jiang Ran’s astral wind dissipated, but then there was a phantom rising from the ground.
It was a good thing that this cave room was relatively spacious, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to accommodate Jiang Ran’s phantom.
He clenched his fist, and the swastika glowed on it, and the Great Vajra Fist of Demon Vandalism came out with a roar.
The large fist shadow fell, these eight figures did not even have the slightest hand to carry, they were hit and flew backwards, scattering into the dust of the sky.
