Ran Ran chased for a while, then stopped, turned around and called two senior uncles from the Yu family for help.
If I guessed correctly, Gao Cang and Qiu Xier must have run into the sea of flowers.
Right now, the master is fighting against the devil in the mountains. If anything unexpected happens, she might not be able to handle it alone.
After hearing Ranran's hurried explanation, the two uncles quickly grabbed their coats and rushed towards the sea of flowers.
As soon as I got there, I saw in the dim moonlight that Gao Cang and Qiu Xier cut their wrists and poured their blood on the spiritual shield set up by Su Yishui.
As the blood flowed, the flowers in the shield seemed to begin to grow wildly, pollen spread, and red mist filled the sky. Finally, they broke through the shield and drifted away in the wind.
Qiu Xier and Gao Cang seemed to have obtained some life-saving elixir. They breathed deeply and desperately, and went towards the depths of the sea of flowers without looking back.
Although Yuchen and Yutong had blocked noses, they did not dare to go too close to the sea of flowers.
At first, Su Yishui said to enter at noon, not only because that was the time when yin and yang alternated, but also because the yin energy was not strong at that time.
But now it was midnight, the time when the yin energy was the most dense, and the eagle-beaked flowers had grown more than twice as large as they had been during the day. Each flower looked like a giant eagle's head, with its mouth half-opened, looking extremely weird.
They were not sure whether they could protect themselves after entering the sea of flowers.
At this moment, Ran Ran pulled out the two short swords that Uncle-Master Zeng Yi had just made for him, and with all his strength, he went straight towards the two people who were running forward.
Yu Tong gasped, thinking that Ran Ran was going to pierce his two fellow disciples’ hearts with two swords.
But after the two swords flew out, the handles of the swords hit Gao Cang and Qiu Xier's acupuncture points hard, knocking them to the ground and unable to move.
Ran Ran was ready to go into the sea of flowers to pull the two people back. But Yu Tong grabbed her and said, "You can't go in. These flowers are too evil. If something happens to you, Yu Chen and I can't stop you."
Now Ranran's cultivation is much higher than Yutong's. If Ranran also shows any abnormality, they will be helpless.
So now we can only let Gaocang and Yutong lie down like this, and wait until dawn, then find a way to get them out.
Yuchen took out the rope he had just picked up in the yard from his waist and prepared the noose to see if he could catch them and pull them back.
At this time, another gust of wind blew over. Ran Ran looked at the pollen beginning to spread above the sea of flowers without the spiritual shield covering it, and thought to himself: Not good!
After a while, many blue fireflies suddenly appeared around the sea of flowers.
But Ran Ran felt her hair stand on end. She whispered, "They... aren't fireflies?"
Yuchen had been to the border before, so he naturally had some experience. He whispered, "These are the eyes of wild wolves!"
It turned out that the spread of pollen actually attracted coyotes in the wild. These wolves rushed towards them with their dark blue eyes and howling.
As a wild animal, the biggest wish is to eat meat. And now they, who are standing by the sea of flowers, are a rich midnight snack for the wild wolf.
If it were an ordinary wild wolf, no matter how ferocious it was, it would not approach a person with a foundation. In fact, wild animals are the most spiritual. They can sense danger and avoid those who are protected by spiritual energy.
But after breathing the pollen, these wild wolves seemed to have their speed and strength increased several times, and their courage also became enormous.
Their hunting instinct is to make themselves stronger, and the eagle-beak pollen has turned the wolf pack into reckless demon wolves.
When the wolves surrounded us, they all looked ready to die.
Soon, Yuchen's thighs and back were scratched by the wolf's claws and were bleeding.
Yu Tong activated his spiritual energy to protect his body and was able to barely resist the wolves' attack, but his shoulders and arms were also bitten by the wolves.
Ran Ran held the mechanical stick in his hand and used his spiritual power to control two short swords at the same time. In a moment, he had killed dozens of demon wolves.
Perhaps people can really mobilize their potential in times of crisis. Soon, Ran Ran drew another short sword from his waist, and the number of swords flying in the air increased from two to three.
Although there are only three of them, they rotate fast enough to become like a whirlwind of fire, splashing wolf blood wherever they pass.
Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, the wolves suddenly turned around and ran quickly towards the sea of flowers, as if there was something there that attracted them to worship.
At this time, the pollen spread faster and faster, attracting flocks of black-billed crows and other birds. They rushed to the sea of flowers in groups, one after another, and even ignored Gao Cang and Qiu Xier in the sea of flowers.
Gao Cang and Qiu Xier, who had been knocked down, staggered to their feet and struggled to go with the beasts.
Yuchen quickly picked up the rope he had prepared, swung it with force, and lassoed the two men like animals, finally pulling them out of the sea of flowers.
They couldn't stay here for long, and after getting rid of the two men, they hurried back to the town's horse racing business.
The spiritual shield has been opened, and Ran Ran's skills are not enough to set up a new one. He can only wait for Su Yishui to come back before thinking of a solution.
Ran Ran was cautious and asked someone to inform General Qin Xuanjiu to warn the soldiers not to go to the outskirts of the city, otherwise the pollen would spread and might accidentally hurt innocent people.
After Gao Cang and Qiu Xier came back after waking up a little, they still kept clamoring to go to the sea of flowers again.
Qiu Xier cried, "Please let me go, just once, please!"
When they found out that Ranran and the others were going to lock the door, Gao Cang even started smashing the door with a chair, while Qiu Xier hit the master uncle with her head. It was obvious that both of them were a little out of control and couldn't control themselves.
Finally, the situation calmed down after Second Uncle Shit tied the two bewitched men to the hitching post in the yard.
They were tied up like this all night. The next day, before dawn, they heard an unusual noise at the city gate. Qin Xuanjiu suddenly brought people to smash the door of the horse shop.
As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Where is Su Yishui? Are you the ones who caused those evil flowers in the countryside?"
It turned out that just last night, some soldiers who went out of the city to look for camp were also fascinated by the spreading pollen and stepped into the sea of flowers.
Just like Gao Cang and Qiu Xier, they were immediately mesmerized by the fragrance of the flowers, had all kinds of hallucinations, and became intoxicated and unwilling to leave.
By the time they were found at dawn, the bird-beak-like petals of the strange plants had bitten into their bodies and penetrated into their blood vessels.
In addition to these soldiers, there are also many birds and beasts. Without exception, they are all entangled by vines and become fertilizer to nourish the magic flowers.
These plants are man-eating. They use blood as fertilizer and are nourished by human greed. All the soldiers and animals trapped in the sea of flowers died.
Qin Xuanjiu first asked Master Mu to go and take a look, but Master Mu just took a look from a distance and refused to come forward. He only said that the remaining spiritual shield aura around the sea of flowers was set up by Su Yishui and asked him to find Su Yishui.
Mu Ranwu had seen these flowers before, but at that time these flowers only caused hallucinations and did not actively entangle people or suck them dry in such a domineering way.
These evil flowers are too terrifying, so naturally they have to be blamed on Su Yishui, so Qin Xuanjiu came forward in a mighty manner to look for someone.
However, as soon as he entered the room, he was startled by Gao Cang and Qiu Xier who were tied to the pillars in the yard.
Could it be that Xishan is really going to become a demonic cult? The way they discipline their disciples is too evil!
However, when Qin Xuanjiu heard Ranran explain that those flowers were not planted by them, he didn't quite believe it. After all, there were remnants of Su Yi Water Spirit Shield around the sea of flowers.
Ran Ran was puzzled and asked, "Didn't I send someone to inform the general last night? Why are there still soldiers entering the sea of flowers?"
Qin Xuanjiu was stunned by the question. He did receive a message from Ranran yesterday. But he was meditating in front of his master at that time. After hearing it, his master asked him to send someone to investigate and see what Xue Ranran and the others were up to.
That's why Qin Xuanjiu sent people there, but he didn't expect such a terrible result.
Qin Xuanjiu was now regretting his decision. When Ran Ran asked him this, his face turned pale and he was speechless. However, he could not go back to his master to ask for vengeance. For a moment, he only wanted to die to atone for his sins.
So he immediately drew out his sword and threatened to cut his throat. Yuchen was so angry that he wanted to kick him and told him to stay away from Ma Xing before dying, so as not to ruin Ma Xing's business.
As the commotion in the yard got out of hand, Zeng Yi stumbled back, covered in mud: "No... No, Junior Brother Su has broken free from the chain and is heading towards the sea of flowers!"
It turned out that last night, Su Yishui's evil nature reached its peak, and even the black iron chain and golden talisman could not restrain him.
Finally, Zeng Yi watched Su Yishui break the chain and rush away, heading towards the sea of flowers in the suburbs.
Ran Ran knew that if the master entered the sea of flowers without a clear mind and accidentally inhaled pollen, he would most likely be controlled by the evil flowers and become their nourishment fertilizer.
So she ignored Qin Xuanjiu's nonsense and turned around and rushed towards the suburbs again.
Except for Gao Cang and Qiu Xier who were still tied to the pillars in the yard, the rest of the people including Qin Xuanjiu also followed her.
Ranran's light body skills were amazing, and he left everyone far behind.
When she arrived at the sea of flowers, she saw a tall man standing in the middle of the sea from afar.
At this time, the man's hair crown had completely loosened, his long hair and white shirt were flying in the wind, his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were evil, and the midday sunlight made the red pollen shine with an eerie light, making him look like a devil descended to the earth.
Ran Ran shouted loudly: "Master!"
The man slowly turned his gaze towards her, and suddenly rushed towards her as fast as lightning.
When a cultivator reaches a certain level, an aura shield will automatically appear on his body.
The same was true for Ranran. Although she did not want to be on guard against her master, her body's instinct had already reacted. She cast out a spiritual shield to try to repel Su Yishui.
But it was this unintentional defense that completely angered the possessed man, and he felt that the girl was trying to distance herself from him.
Before Ran Ran could react, he was grabbed by him and his spiritual shield was shattered.
Moreover, he squeezed her hand with no restraint at all, squeezing Ranran so hard that she couldn't help but scream out in pain.
But even so, the man continued to increase his strength, and at the same time, he screamed in Ranran's ear: "Do you think you can escape from me by dying? I want you to go to hell with me!"
Ran Ran tried to relax herself as much as possible, weakening her body's instinctive shield, and said softly: "Okay, I'll go wherever you are..."
After saying that, she took the initiative to move over and kissed the man's cold thin lips.
This kiss was gentle and sweet, and all of Su Yishui's frenzy was calmed down miraculously, and the thick black energy on his body was obviously weakened.
For some reason, Ranran knew that no matter how possessed this man was, he would never hurt herself.
Because when she fell into the sea of flowers just now, the man subconsciously activated the spiritual shield to cover her and prevent her from being harmed by the magic flowers.
Besides the spiritual spring sealed in his body, what seemed to make him crazy and lose his mind was any sign of alienation from her.
So Ranran could only cling to his master like a little gecko, not wanting to be separated from him for a moment.
However, to outsiders, it looked like Su Yishui had gone mad and captured his female disciple and was bullying her at will.
Especially that shout, it was an explicit threat!
Just as the two were hugging each other in the sea of flowers, a long whip suddenly came over: "Demon! Let go of Ranran!"
Wei Yan from Chimen appeared at the edge of the sea of flowers at some point, and came up to rescue Xue Ranran who was being "held" by her possessed master.
Seeing that Su Yishui seemed to have become a demon, Wei Yan actually felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, he didn't want Su Yishui to rely on the spiritual spring to further improve his spiritual power and become invincible.
On the other hand, he felt that Su Yishui was exposed in front of Xue Ranran. Ranran must be scared and angry at this moment, and she couldn't wait to get rid of such a master.
At this moment, it is perfect for him to appear at the right time and come to the rescue as a hero!
So, even though he knew that the sea of flowers was strange, Wei Yan still relied on his own skills and courage to rush over, trying to snatch Ran Ran from Su Yishui's arms.
But as the long whip flew past, countless Eagle-billed Demon Flowers were blown away, and the pollen that had already settled flew up again, forming a pink red mist above the sea of flowers.
When Wei Yan stepped in, he clearly felt the change in the magnetic field. After absorbing the blood and energy of countless people, the flowers grew more beautifully.
The vines climbed and extended, forming strange patterns. Ran Ran was lifted into the air by Su Yishui. When she looked down, she found that the flower pattern on the ground looked very similar to the spiritual key of her master.
She looked up at Su Yishui. The redness in his eyes had not yet faded, but the strength with which he held her seemed to have diminished a lot.
Ran Ran pulled out his hand and took out the key from his arms. After comparing them, the totem formed by the magic flowers on the earth was exactly the same as the key.
At this time, Su Yishui held Ran Ran in his arms and dodged Wei Yan's attack. He lowered his head and asked Ran Ran, "These flowers can resonate with the spiritual spring in my body. The response was particularly strong last night, and I was temporarily possessed... Did I hurt you just now?"
He seemed to have finally regained his sanity, and whispered, "No, but the pollen is spreading too quickly. I'm afraid people from nearby villages will also be attracted to the sea of flowers."
Wei Yan also gradually stopped attacking at this time. He also noticed the strange changes in the sea of flowers. Moreover, some of his disciples failed to hold their breath in time and lost their minds and entered the sea of flowers. At this time, they were also bitten tightly by the eagle mouths of the flowers, sucking their spiritual energy and flesh...
Although these hawk-billed flowers have appeared before, the flowers at that time were not as aggressive as they are now.
Perhaps after losing the spiritual spring for a long time, the energy of the underworld became distorted, so the magic flowers born in the underworld autonomously absorbed the blood and energy of beasts and humans to replenish their own exhausted strength. At the same time, because they sensed the spiritual spring in Su Yishui's body, they took the initiative to open the door to the underworld.
That's why those eagle-beaked flowers became so overbearing, sucking people's blood and energy to create keys engraved on the earth.
The same thing happened when Su Yishui came to the sea of flowers uncontrollably.
For the first time in thousands of years, the underworld was not opened by the outside world, but actively connected with the human world.
The vines began to emit red light, and as the light turned from dark to bright, the ground gradually shook and cracked, and the entire sea of flowers sank and turned into a bottomless abyss. Ran Ran tightly held her master's hand. If she had to go to the underworld, then as she said, wherever Su Yishui was, she would go with him!
Su Yishui didn't think so. When he regained his senses, his first instinct was to throw Ranran out before he was sucked into the underworld.
But how could Ran Ran, this little gecko, be easily thrown off? He hugged his neck tightly and said fiercely: "Don't leave me!"
In the next moment, the two of them were sucked into the collapsed pit.
When the two were sucked in, another shadow followed and flew down, falling down with Su Yishui and the others.
Ranran could see clearly that the black shadow that suddenly appeared was Wei Yan from Chimen.
He must have planned it in advance, waiting for the underworld to open up, and followed Su Yishui into the underworld. After him, the Red Gate Elder Tu Jiuyi also entered the rift.
When the sun in the sky shifted, the flowers all over the ground withered in an instant, and the cracked ground quickly closed. Except for the disappearance of four people out of thin air, everything was the same as before the red flowers bloomed.
…
As for Wei Yan, he did not expect Tu Jiuyi to jump down as well. He was originally preparing to compete with Su Yishui for Ran Ran, but he could not help but dislike Tu Jiuyi for being nosy.
The underworld is bottomless. Once you fall down, you will be corroded by the corrupt air and turned into a demon corpse. So Su Yishui didn't want to get too entangled with Wei Ran. He just held on to Ran Ran and hung on the cliff beside him.
Wei Yan had the same idea as him. He originally planned to take advantage of Su Yishui's unpreparedness to snatch Ran Ran out and pull her into his arms.
Unfortunately, Wei Yan was still a step too slow and failed to grab Ran Ran. He could only turn around and grab Tu Jiuyi who was falling, and also hung on the cliff.
Although he caught Tu Jiuyi, he said sharply and viciously: "Such meddlesomeness, who asked you to come down?"
Tu Jiuyi pursed his lips and whispered, "I am willing to accompany you through thick and thin, no matter what..."
At this time, the men and women from Xishan and Chimen each occupied one side of the cliff. Because they were quite far apart, they temporarily stopped fighting.
Only then did Ranran calm down and look at the environment they were in.
The aura of the underworld is completely different from that of the human world. It seems that the yin and yang here are reversed. The water on the cliff does not flow down, but swirls up, floating up like pearls.
Above their heads was a long, winding river hanging upside down.
Ranran wiped the water off her face and looked at the river above her head with some surprise.
Su Yishui slowed down his breathing and whispered, "Hold me tight, don't fall!"
Ran Ran hugged him quickly and asked, "Master, is this the underworld? Are we going down there later?" There seemed to be many groaning and strange cries coming from the abyss under their feet, and no one knew what was down there.
Su Yishui shook his head and pointed to the long river flowing overhead: "No, we have to climb up."
The underworld is different from the human world. Water can flow backwards, so if they want to reach the cliff where the water falls, they can only keep climbing upwards.
However, they are all living people, so when the yang body arrives in the underworld, it is like carrying a thousand-pound iron. It is extremely difficult to move the arms. No matter how high the spiritual power is, the movements become much slower.
Therefore, the two pairs of men and women, who were at a distance from each other, temporarily stopped fighting, and climbed up the cliff separately.
Wei Yan sneered and shouted at Su Yishui: "Su Yishui, it is difficult for you to suppress the spiritual spring. Why don't you hand it over to me earlier? Wouldn't it be easier for you?"
Ran Ran looked at Wei Yan and said, "How shameless! Can you suppress the spiritual spring? Have you recovered the spiritual power that was sucked by the fairy bugs in Tianmai Mountain?"
What Wei Yan hated most in his life was people looking down on his abilities. Upon hearing this, he immediately became angry and embarrassed.
He looked at Ran Ran, sneered, and said nothing more. He just tried his best to climb up.
Because the abyss was absorbing their negative energy which was getting heavier and heavier, if they stayed on this cliff for too long, they would most likely be sucked into the endless abyss.
Ran Ran saw that her master was having difficulty climbing, so she tried to reach out and hold onto the cliff and climb up by herself. She had just listened to her master's explanation and thought that she would climb very slowly, but she didn't expect that when she tried to climb by holding her breath, she could actually climb up a long distance very easily.
When she looked back at the other three people struggling to crawl, she had the illusion that she was looking at a tree turtle.
The three people also looked at her in surprise.
So Ran Ran climbed back up again and whispered to his master, "Is it really that hard? Why don't I feel it?"
"You are not made of mortal flesh, but a fruit grown on a tree. The reincarnation tree is originally of the Yin element. When you reach the Yin realm, you will naturally not suffer as much as we do..."
Before Su Yishui could open his mouth, Wei Yan began to explain impatiently.
He had just had an unpleasant argument with Ran Ran, and now that he had calmed down, he was anxious to ease the atmosphere.
He hadn't seen Ran Ran for a long time. Now he saw that the little girl seemed to have grown up a little. Her long hair, wet by the water that kept rising from the cliff, was flat on her snow-white cheeks, and her big eyes were very lively.
He should have noticed long ago that her eyes were exactly the same as Mu Qingge's in her previous life.
Thinking about how he had been hanging around that fake guy in front of Ranran at Tianmai Mountain, Wei Zun Shang felt that the little girl was somewhat at odds with him, so he could forgive her for some verbal conflicts.
He would never argue with her and let Su Yishui take advantage of her for nothing.
But in Ranran's opinion, Wei Yan's belated courtesy seemed a little inappropriate, just like the letters he suddenly sent to Tianmai Mountain, which seemed very abrupt and self-righteous.
So when Wei Yan started to speak, she didn't look at him, but looked directly at her master.
Su Yishui patted her on the back and said, "Since you can climb fast, hurry up and wait for me at the river bank."
