Chapter 187 – Ancient Formation
The road of some twenty miles was instantly accessible to the crowd. This section of the river didn’t look any different from the rest on the surface, it was also a little wider than the section near the inn, the rain was pouring down, the water was flowing fast, everything was the same as elsewhere, it didn’t look like it had any special features in any way.
Xue Mu didn’t bother questioning Long Xiaozhao, he just turned his head to look at Curry Night.
Curry Night’s expression at this moment was however very serious.
That kind of sense of triviality that only appeared when one was facing the enemy, every time Xue Mu saw it, he would have a demonic experience that was extremely incongruous.
“There is an aura of illusion.” Curry Night indifferently said, “It’s very skillful and hidden, and if it’s not purposely surveyed by an Inquirer who specializes in this path, even if a Hole Void powerhouse is allowed to pass by this place, they might not be able to discover it.”
Xue Mu asked, “So you’re so serious because it’s too difficult to deal with? If that’s the case, I don’t think there’s any rush, so let’s turn around and make preparations?”
Curry Night shook his head slightly, “This is not a place to directly injure people, being careful will be fine …… I just think ……” Halfway through saying that he didn’t continue, he just closed his hands and slowly Separate, the dark pupils of the foreign aura flashed, brilliant as a star.
The turbulent river waves were slowly broken with her movements, as if the entire river was cut off by the invisible horror energy, revealing a large hollow section, mud and sand.
Not to mention that Long Xiaozhao looked at the two eyes straight, even Xue Mu’s heart drummed, as if he saw the water splitting trick in the Journey to the West …… The demon that caused this sight was really the loli that he had held down and spanked every day?
The strength of the Cave Voider …… It seems that one’s cognizance is not enough ……
On the wall of the river channel there was a piece of mud and sand that slowly revealed its true appearance, and as Long Xiaozhao said before, it was the appearance of a formation.
Curry Night indifferently looked at Long Xiaozhao and faintly said, “You didn’t lie.”
Long Xiaozhao gulped down his saliva and compensated with a smile, “I’m really telling the truth in every word.”
“Come down, this formation is not dangerous.” Curry Night floated down first, Xue Mu followed closely behind, the group of people stepped into the spell formation, and sure enough, there was a blur before their eyes, and they had arrived at an alternative heaven and earth.
To be precise, there was no heaven and earth. The entire space was one, it was indistinguishable where was the sky and where was the earth, as if it was within some kind of Matrix, surrounded by a dark red color, so dark that it was close to being purple. The space is very big and large, so big that it is impossible to distinguish the boundaries, the sky bizarrely floating and rotating all kinds of strange unknown metal and wood, thousands and thousands, there are countless large boxes floating and swaying.
Sure enough, Long Xiaozhao’s sentences were true, that is, he made the scale smaller, perhaps subconsciously not wanting Xue Mu to come and pick the peaches? Understandable.
However, Curry Night’s expression became more and more serious: “Nobody move, don’t touch a single thing here.”
Nowadays, Xue Mu still had a little bit of understanding of Kung Fu cultivation, but he still didn’t know anything about illusions, formations, and the like, so he didn’t know what to think about, and could only ask Curry Night in a low voice, “How?”
“Mu Mu, their legend is right on one point.”
“Which point?”
“This place was really molded tens of thousands of years ago ……,” Curry Night whispered, “Even earlier than the Heavenly Dao transformed the Nine Cauldrons.”
Xue Mu was momentarily puzzled by this, while Zhuo Qingqing Luo Qianxue shrugged.
Curry Night explained, “This is not a secret realm, the entire space itself is just an artificially created formation. The effect of this formation is to …… seize the soul.”
Xue Mu’s eyes widened.
“But the formation has been buried with the years, and there are no new unjust souls. What’s left behind are only the wails of thousands of wronged souls from days gone by, condensed over tens of thousands of years into the colors of the soul.” Curry Night whispered, “This river water has been stained over time, only the soul’s aura has faded, leaving only the color to prove the mark of what was once there. So the river sand is indeed non-toxic and useless, and after another ten years or so, I’m afraid it will no longer be red.”
Xue Mu let out a long breath, “That means Xie Changsheng received the inheritance or inspiration from this place before he began to walk on the radical path that contradicts the Divine Mechanism Sect. Then the core inheritance of this place has already been taken by Xie Changsheng, right, and what is floating around?”
Curry Night didn’t answer, his gaze staring straight into the dark red depths, and only after a long time did he say, “I can’t understand what’s here, I just know that I can’t touch it, or something will happen.”
Xue Mu moved, “Even you can’t see it?”
If this world were to make a ranking of the ability of illusions and formations, it would be no problem to say that Curry Night was number one in the world, even if some hidden monsters were stronger than her, how could they be in the top three? She didn’t even understand, how did Xie Changsheng understand?
Curry Night smiled faintly, “Xie Changsheng got the inheritance, I’m afraid that he understands it, and even if he understands it, he doesn’t dare to touch it, otherwise where would there be anything left.”
Long Xiaozhao’s sweat beaded down, it was just him who was ignorant and fearless, actually dared to grab something and run away. The fact that nothing happened was probably luck to a certain extent!
Xue Mu frowned and said, “Where can’t you see it, tell me about it, maybe we can even consult it by brainstorming.”
“Hmm. These metal woods, some of them are recognizable and some of them aren’t, about after tens of thousands of years, some of them have become extinct.” Curry Night mused, “If it’s all precious things, then I can judge the usage, this is to lure the seven emotions and six desires of others undoubtedly, as long as the heart is greedy and the heart of martial arts is not guarded, the soul may be drawn by the array.”
“What do you mean by that, it’s not all precious things here?”
“Well, on the contrary, most of them are worthless things that can be found everywhere, which makes people puzzled, what is the use of placing these things here? Triggering others’ confusion and vigilance, instead of a glance to stimulate the effect of greed. Just like Long Xiaozhao alert and careful, casually grabbed something and left, the heart without greed, do not seek more and better, also get rid of this robbery.”
Long Xiaozhao almost had a moment of weakness, his body was drenched in sweat, at this point in time, looking back, it really felt like walking back and forth in the ghost gate.
Xue Mu pondered for a moment and smiled, “I can think of two reasons.”
Curry Night stared straight at him.
“The first one, after tens of thousands of years of change, some things that were rare at the time are now worthless after being excavated in large quantities or even artificially cultivated. So it’s not that people have intentionally placed a bunch of trash here, but rather, the value is not the same after tens of thousands of years.”
Curry Night was stunned and suddenly laughed, “That makes sense.”
Xue Mu added, “The second one, if it’s supposed to be a mix of good and bad, it might also be effective. For example, I came with you, I got a heaven level technique, great joy, you got a yellow level technique, disappointment …… or maybe the harvest is not equal, triggering team infighting, the joy and sorrow, selfishness and jealousy, is it not the seven emotions of the human world?”
Curry Night pondered for a moment and nodded, “It also makes sense. No matter which reason, we can’t touch it. Because if we know it’s wrong and still have to take it, that would be reckless greed. Xie Changsheng was the reason why he didn’t dare to touch anything, and at most, he only took the inheritance.”
“Can you break the formation?”
“This kind of ancient formation, it needs a lot of time to do parsing, but Mu Mu ……” Curry looked into the depths and murmured, “That is, if the parsing is successful, should I break it?”
Xue Mu was momentarily unsure: “Huh?”
Curry Night Yui said, “Xue Mu, you may have forgotten who we are ……If we take this formation for ourselves, we may be able to create my Gate of Harmonization.”
Hearing her actually uncharacteristically call out “Xue Mu”, Xue Mu was feeling uncomfortable, heard later suddenly changed greatly, once Xiahou Di’s judgment of Curry Night violently surfaced in his mind, that night’s purgatory is still in front of his eyes.
This place, actually unexpectedly fits Curry Night’s gong cultivation! As she said, if the jianghu people are attracted to come here to deliver, thousands of human thoughts spread unchecked, the negative emotions in the air may be the best nutrients for Curry Night’s cultivation! To merge with the Dao in this way, it might really be possible!
Their Star Moon Sect was a demonic sect! Curry Night was a demonic sect big brother! For the first time, Xue Mu had a proper perception of this concept.
Always thinking about others what behind-the-scenes BOSS, after half a day, his own family grade is too high, in turn, it is possible to first run out of a design jianghu conspiracy in an attempt to merge with the Dao of the super BOSS it ……
Xue Mu couldn’t help but brainstorm a scene in which several protagonists busted out of the conspiracy and came to the front of the BOSS with great difficulty, and saw a loli with demonic horns laughing with her arms crossed, “Interesting, here come a few little ants!”
That scene …… simply can’t bear to look at.
