Chapter 42: Flame Mountain Cocoon Man (15)

Qilang looked at the woman in his arms, his brows furrowed. Then, he placed his left hand near his dantian, took a deep breath, and a red light emanated from his body.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Bingyi's eyes widened. She hadn't expected His Highness to actually take out her demon core. "You absolutely cannot do that! She's already dying. If you forcefully save her, it will severely damage your cultivation."

Qilang smiled coldly: "It's just cultivation."

He opened his mouth slightly, and a bright red demon pill floated out of his body. His face turned pale. Qilang exerted force to push the demon pill into Li Yuanying's mouth and into his body.

"With my blood, with my bones, I live!" Qilang chanted a spell and exerted all his strength. The blue flames wrapped around him and Li Yuanying and burned fiercely.

The pure flame brushed across every inch of Li Yuanying's skin. Her hair swayed in the air, and her translucent skin seemed to have frozen. Against the backdrop of the blue light, she seemed like an ice beauty, quiet and beautiful.

Qilang began to feel exhausted. His demonic power had been sealed, and now he needed to place the demon pill into Li Yuanying's body. Her coldness was eroding Qilang inch by inch, and he also needed to pass on half of his life's cultivation to her before he could hope to come back to life.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! You should also consider yourself and don't be like this!" Bingyi became more and more anxious.

"Just half a lifetime of cultivation." Qilang said lightly. He felt a warm current in his mouth. A drop of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his chin to Li Yuanying's face.

At this time, Li Yuanying's lips moved, as if she was about to wake up.

Qilang's heart finally settled down.

He's not dead yet, so if he uses the magic pill to save him in time, there's still a chance.

Seeing that she was about to wake up, Qilang took out the demon pill and let it return to his body. He felt a huge pressure and tingling coming from his chest. He waved to Bingyi and asked her to hug Li Yuanying.

Then, Qilang turned his head, spat out a mouthful of blood, and began to cough violently.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Are you okay?" Bingyi's tears flowed down. She had never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this. He had been arrogant and conceited since he was a child and had never condescended to anyone. This was the first time she saw him go to such lengths for someone.

"It's okay." Qilang finally calmed down and waved his hand, "Remember, don't tell her what happened, understand?"

"Why?"

"No need, no need."

Seeing Qilang so determined, Bingyi had no choice but to remain silent.

At this time, Bingyi felt Li Yuanying in his arms move, and her body began to slowly warm up, no longer like a popsicle.

Li Yuanying's eyes were covered with a ribbon, but thanks to her golden pupils, she could still see the surroundings clearly. The first person who caught her eye was Bingyi, who looked at her with a very complicated expression.

Li Yuanying felt a burning sensation throughout her body, as if something had just scorched her. Her skin felt hot. She tried to sit up, but it was difficult. In her last memory, Bing Yi brought her above the Ten Thousand Suns Formation, and after that, she couldn't remember anything.

"What happened to me just now?" Li Yuanying asked.

"You...you just fainted." Bingyi wanted to scold her, but considering the good intentions of His Highness, she stopped talking.

Li Yuanying looked at Qilang. He seemed a little different from the beginning. His eyes became cold, just like when they first met. At that time, he was like a wounded beast, and he was still like that now.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she suddenly felt that there seemed to be an imperceptible gap between her and Qilang.

Qilang clearly saw Li Yuanying wake up, but he didn't say anything, as if she was air.

"I'll destroy the center of the formation, and you'll wait here for me to come back."

"Your Highness, I'd better follow you, just in case." Bingyi said.

"Following will only cause trouble." Qilang did not say "you" or "you guys", and he did not look at Li Yuanying directly.

What's wrong with him? Why is he angry?

Li Yuanying has been very observant of people's words and expressions since she was a child, and she immediately noticed these subtle changes in Qilang.

"Let's go together." Li Yuanying said.

She wanted to see how Qilang would respond.

He didn't say anything, just walked forward silently.

Something is wrong.

Li Yuanying walked forward and looked at the boy's back. His long hair was swaying from side to side, and his tall figure looked a little lonely.

"Walk there?" Li Yuanying continued to ask.

Qilang just kept walking and ignored him.

"I'm talking to you." Li Yuanying ran to Qilang's side and tilted her head to look at the young man in front of her.

"Yeah." Qilang responded coldly.

Li Yuanying looked at Bingyi and wanted to ask her what had happened, but Bingyi turned her head away and she was not going to pay any attention to Li Yuanying.

This master and servant pair is really interesting.

Li Yuanying has always been a person who responds to soft words and does not respond to harsh ones. Since Qilang ignored her, she would not take the initiative. The three of them were silent along the way, and the whole cave seemed unusually quiet.

By the time they reached the center of the formation, there were only a few fireflies left, as the others had been slowly consumed and died on the way there.

It was the first time that Li Yuanying saw such a large array center. In the center of the bell array, there was a huge circular chasm. Opposite the chasm was a circular open space with an ancient tower on it.

This ancient tower is simply built, with only some carvings on the eaves. The rest is made entirely of loess, without any gold or silver decorations. Compared with the grandeur of Shengle Township, it is a world of difference.

In the middle of the ancient tower hung a wooden plaque, which was already old, covered with moss and eaten by insects, and fell diagonally on the door of the tower.

The plaque was written diagonally: Yanshan Tower.

An iron chain bridge spans the chasm, its wooden planks rotten, crumbling, and dilapidated.

There is only one road from the Wanyang Formation to the Yanshan Tower, and Li Yuanying has a bad feeling.

Qilang took out the Tuling Flame Umbrella, waved his hand and threw it out. The umbrella flew to the bridge head and then flew towards the opposite side of the cliff.

But just when he was in the middle of the bridge, dark shadows seemed to surge in the canyon. They slowly moved up along the cliff and suddenly pounced on Tu Ling's Flame Umbrella. Fortunately, Qilang immediately controlled the Flame Umbrella back, otherwise it would most likely have been snatched away by those dark shadows.

It was indeed a trap.

After the backlash of the bell from the Wanyang Formation, Li Yuanying could no longer use her magic power, and even her physical strength was greatly depleted. She was unable to quickly cross the suspension bridge and fly to the other side.

Just as she was frowning, she felt a pair of strong arms holding her in their arms, and then carrying her into the air. Seeing this, the black shadow twisted and surged, trying to pull the two of them down from the air, but the man was extremely fast and fell to the other side in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, Bingyi followed.

Before Li Yuanying could react, the young man pushed her away and stood far away from her.

"Let's go inside the tower and take a look." Qilang didn't give Li Yuanying any chance to speak. He left this sentence and hurriedly walked into the tower.

The door of the tower has been in disrepair for many years, and the wooden door seems to be disintegrating into ashes if touched.

There is a statue of a god enshrined here.

This statue looks different from the others, with a bitter expression and a thin body. She is dressed in simple clothes, holding a lotus, and standing in the tower.

"Do you think this statue is a little strange?" Li Yuanying asked.

Qilang didn't answer, so Bingyi said, "It's a bit strange, too thin."

"Not only that, there is no offering."

Li Yuanying had seen it in the temple of Fairy Shengle. Not only was her temple extravagant, but her offerings were also extremely lavish. However, it seemed that no one had visited this tower for a very long time, and the gods inside seemed to have long been forgotten by the world and became nameless Buddhas.

Li Yuanying heard about the Nameless Buddha from her mother. She didn't know whether the gods disappeared first, so people stopped worshipping them, or whether people stopped worshipping them, so the gods disappeared. Li Yuanying couldn't remember clearly. Her mother told her that if a Buddha was not worshipped for a long time, she would be stripped of her title and become the Nameless Buddha.

The nameless Buddha cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation like humans, nor can she be immortal like demons. She is trapped in her temple in this world, bored and wasting her time.

Therefore, in this eternal and unchanging silence, there will be nameless Buddhas who fall into the devil.

Just like the fairy Shengle.

Suddenly, the Buddha seemed to move.

Qilang immediately stood in front of Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying and Bingyi also put their hands on the hilts of their swords. The three of them became extremely alert.

But when you look closely, it seems that it is not the Buddha that is moving, but the dust on its body.

Only three firefly grasses were left, and the vision became even more blurry.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and another round object rolled out from behind the Buddha statue, gurgling, gurgling.

It finally stopped at Li Yuanying's feet.

This is a clay pot.

Li Yuanying wanted to kick the pottery jar away, but it rolled away again.

At first it wandered around aimlessly, then circled around the three people.

Finally, it suddenly stopped, and a pair of children's hands stretched out from the bottle mouth.

Li Yuanying drew out the Frost Ashes.

What is this thing... Her palms began to feel cold.

The hands were dark and shriveled, looking like a skeleton.

With a pop, a black object jumped out of the pottery jar. The three of them jumped back, trying to get away from the black object.

Because the light was too dim, Li Yuanying could only see the outline of the thing. It was slender, about the height of a child of several years old, with a round bulge in the middle.

Suddenly, the black thing spoke: "Sister, why are you here?"

"Fifteen?" Li Yuanying asked in surprise.

"It's me."

The black shadow slowly approached, and when the faint light of the fireflies shone on her face, Li Yuanying realized that it was really fifteen.

"Why are you hiding here?"

Fifteen said, "This is my home."

"You live in this tower?"

Fifteen nodded, her eyes bright and innocent.

"Did the villagers capture you and your mother?"

Fifteen was frightened: "Green rabbit, there is a green rabbit outside!"
