Chapter 424: Extinguishing the Fire and Hiding in the Ground
Before taking out the tinder.
Ye Xingzhou picked up the pen first and skillfully drew a stack of low-level explosive talismans.
There are many of them, so you won’t feel bad about using them.
Ye Xingzhou stuffed the talisman into his storage bag.
Before taking out the tinderbox, Ye Xingzhou took another look at the rules note.
His eyes were fixed on a few words.
Extinguish the fire and hide underground.
Ye Xingzhou slowed down his hand as he took out the fire starter, feeling something was wrong.
I always feel like I've overlooked something, but I can't tell what's wrong.
Ye Xingzhou put the note away temporarily.
There is a lot of dry grass and dead wood in the city, which can be burned with just a little fire.
Ye Xingzhou stepped out of the well.
The resurrected vengeful spirits gathered again.
The tinderbox ignited sparks.
Sparks burn the dry grass, the dry grass burns the dry wood, and the dry wood sets the whole city on fire.
The whole city was ablaze.
The evil of the red moon could not stop the raging fire.
It's too bright.
The fire is like the sun.
The mad ghost suddenly stopped.
There was a slight sound of bones breaking.
The red eyes of a vengeful spirit faded, and its head drooped and tucked under its shoulders.
The click sounded like some kind of switch being turned on.
The crazy ghosts fell to the ground one after another.
There were crisp sounds from the necks one after another, and more and more vengeful spirits lowered their heads.
The resentment dissipated.
From a vengeful spirit, to an undead soul.
The whole city was in flames.
They are as they first appeared.
With his head lowered and his empty eyes looking at his toes, he wandered aimlessly in the land where he lived.
Ignore the body burned by the flames.
Repeat over and over again.
Walking in the raw land.
Walking on death ground.
Walking in Beidian City where wooden butterflies are flying.
The fire was too hot.
Like the red sun.
The red sun that shines on the crops, the red sun that shines on the people's livelihoods.
"I think."
"go home."
His hoarse voice uttered a few incomprehensible breathy words.
Ye Xingzhou heard it clearly.
The dead said they wanted to go home.
Ye Xingzhou raised his head and looked at the blood moon hanging in the sky.
The moment our eyes met, a dizziness swept over my body.
I couldn't stop feeling restless, and I desperately wanted to dye everything red.
The blood moon is a formation.
A formation that infinitely amplifies evil thoughts.
Ye Xingzhou took out the jade bone fan to clear his mind, and his mind quickly recalled the formation he had memorized.
There is a mid-level formation called "Building a Well and Observing the Sky".
Like a frog at the bottom of a well, he only sees the sky he wants to see.
Since someone set up a blood moon to stimulate the undead, Ye Xingzhou set up a well to observe the sky.
Manually make a sun.
Beidian City is a well, so the sky is simple.
Ye Xingzhou took out the camera stone and recorded the blazing fire.
The image magnified by the double-image array was just enough to cover up the blood moon of the Gu man.
There is no sun here.
There is only the red moon.
A red moon dyed with blood.
The moon is dyed with the blood of the people of Beidian.
Under the red moonlight, evil thoughts are infinitely magnified.
It's okay, now I have it.
Ye Xingzhou's artificial yang can wake up these undead souls.
Although it is short-lived,
At least we know that this rule is a fake rule created by the Blood Moon Formation.
"Cangshui."
Ye Xingzhou called out tentatively.
He was not sure whether Cang Shui was taken away by the Demon Lord.
I was skeptical at first, but when he finished speaking, the blue water really rose into the sky.
The rain fell.
The rain had the spiritual power of an ancient artifact, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Although this home was covered with traces of fire, it was still barely saved.
Ye Xingzhou took back Cang Shui and asked, "Do you know where the others went?"
A few words appeared on the blue water.
〈The sky is clear and the water is bright.〉
It's the Water Moon Mirror.
Ye Xingzhou frowned, "They were locked in the Water Moon Mirror?"
Cangshui nodded and shook his head.
Everyone was sucked back into the Water Moon Mirror of Yantian Sect by another force, but they were incomplete.
Ye Xingzhou was stunned. "What do you mean?"
The people of Yantian Sect are not in Beidian City, but are imprisoned in Shuiyuejing?
But why didn’t Jiang Ke see anyone else when he went to see Fang Rong?
What does Cangshui mean when he says that they are incomplete?
Wood Butterfly.
The three words reminded Ye Xingzhou, and he thought of something and reached into his storage bag.
"Are these glowing wooden butterflies their souls and spirits?"
Cangshui nodded.
"He didn't tell me this in the soul lamp."
"You can't hear it, but I can."
〈The spirit of the weapon can sense it.〉
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
The flow of the Cangshui light slowed down, and the few words that were just formed were broken up by a force.
at last.
Cangshui lit up a few more words.
〈Extinguish the fire and hide underground.〉
These are the words in the rules, and they were also pointed out by the Left Protector.
What does it mean?
Ye Xingzhou frowned deeply.
The more I think about something, the harder it is to find the answer.
Ye Xingzhou forced himself to suppress his thoughts and reorganized the information he had just received.
In other words, the people of Yantian Sect were initially sucked into Beidian City by the blue vortex.
However, another force intervened and brought them back to Yantian Sect.
The rules also state that one must leave one soul and one spirit behind to leave the city.
These wood butterflies are their souls and spirits.
This time, Ye Xingzhou wants to find everyone's soul and spirit and bring them back to the sect.
But now, he has only found more than a thousand glowing wood butterflies.
The Yantian Sect has a total of 10,000 people.
Cangshui nudged the back of Ye Xingzhou's hand.
In the transparent body of the water flow, there are countless shrunken wooden butterflies, which allow Ye Xingzhou to do what he needs to do without worry.
Cangshui has collected all the wooden butterflies.
Ye Xingzhou has extremely yang energy in his body, and with the effect of the soul-calming talisman, he can leave the city safely.
At that time, I will bring the wooden butterfly back to the sect and work with the sober ones to slowly find the remaining soul and spirit.
Now, Ye Xingzhou can rest assured to complete Task Nine and uncover the truth about Beidian City.
Ye Xingzhou's thoughts raced, "How about I send you out of the city first, and you go back to Yantian Sect to find Jiangke Shanhuai and rescue everyone first."
Cangshui shook his head, "The formation has been activated, I can't get out."
"Then let's go down."
Ye Xingzhou turned his gaze back and looked at the numbly wandering undead.
The Cangshui turned into a jade bracelet and reattached itself to Ye Xingzhou's wrist.
The dead walked in silence among the burned ruins.
Ye Xingzhou fell to the ground.
The effect of the soul-soothing talisman was still there, and he didn't feel his soul was being pulled out. Ye Xingzhou walked quickly to look for him.
now.
Ye Xingzhou was also confused.
All around were numb resentful spirits and ruins.
The only advantage is that the blood moon is temporarily obscured.
There is no clue to be found.
I know, but I can't guess the meaning.
I don't know, I really have no idea.
Beidian City is too chaotic.
It doesn't seem like a one-man game.
It’s like there are several chess games on the board at the same time, and you can’t guess who will make the next move.
What is clear now is that the forces that lured the Yantian Sect members to Beidian City and those that took them back were two different forces.
What Jiang Ke saw in Yantian Sect was a huge blue vortex.
Ye Xingzhou had seen the blue vortex in the hands of the Left Protector, who was previously a subordinate of the Demon Lord.
Could it be that the Demon Lord was the one who sucked people into Beidian City? This still doesn't make sense.
Another force that can fight against the system to get people back is not something that ordinary cultivators can do.
It is difficult to determine which of these two opposing forces is which.
Ye Xingzhou was thinking deeply.
In the silent shadow of fire and sun.
A door appears.
