Chapter 189: A Tune of Water Spirit Pearls
Zhao Wuyang was completely bewildered. He didn't know how to perceive the place he was in. With the poisonous sound of the Lingxiang piano beside him, the spiritual energy in his body was actually in chaos.
As soon as Xinyi stood up, she felt that Zhao Wuyang was unusual. When she looked over, she saw that he was emitting a chaotic aura and looked like he was possessed.
He knew very well how much damage illusions could do to the mind, and he also knew why Zhao Wuyang was hurt. If he couldn't untie the knot in his heart, he would probably end up in a desperate situation in the future, which was the case now.
Judging from the current situation, Liu Xia and Banxia are still missing. Although she doesn't know why Lingxiang did this, she thinks it is because of them. The spiritual light has already appeared in the room. If she asks her to stop, all her efforts will be wasted.
The cultivation of Long Qi and Lu Ying was not enough to help others escape from trouble, but one of them was concentrating on looking at the spiritual incense, while the other was meditating and looked like he had just broken through.
The only way now is to help Wuyang myself!
Although he is not as proficient in Taoism as Lingxiang, he has at least reached the Jindan stage of martial arts. If he intervenes with spiritual energy, he thinks he will be able to help Wuyang escape danger.
Xinyi pondered for a moment, then gathered her spirit in her palm and slapped Zhao Wuyang on the shoulder. However, she didn't expect that the chaotic energy in Zhao Wuyang's body was so overbearing that it caused him to feel a piercing pain, especially in her hand.
As he approached, Xinyi sensed a resistance, as if Zhao Wuyang were rejecting him. Seeing this, Xinyi frowned, then twisted his fingers, transforming his palm into a finger, concentrating spiritual energy between them and extending it toward Zhao Wuyang. Once he was close, Xinyi quickly extended her palm and slapped Zhao Wuyang.
Zhao Wuyang was initially distracted and his thoughts were in disarray, but suddenly a cool feeling washed over him, and then he felt a weight on his shoulders. He looked up blankly and saw Xinyi, her brow furrowed, her face thick with worry.
Looking at Xinyi's concerned eyes, Zhao Wuyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually brightened, and his mind recalled what his mother had said to him when he was a child, which was the courtyard in the previous illusion.
…
"Yan'er, do you know that a person's life is only a short ten thousand days? If you indulge in the past and cannot extricate yourself, you will only waste your time. If you encounter difficulties that are difficult to escape, you might as well look around." Mrs. Qiao pinched the needle and sharpened it in her temples.
"What's the use of looking around?" Xiao Wuyang was teasing Ajin. When he heard Mrs. Qiao suddenly speak, he looked up and asked.
"Around? Hmm~" Mrs. Qiao pondered for a moment and said, "Wuyang hasn't made any friends yet! In the future, as you venture into the world, you will inevitably meet people who treat you well. Those people will be the ones who guide you on your journey again. They will treat you well, consider you, and not care about gains or losses. Such people are your friends."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyang lowered his head and teased Ajin again. It was always lazy, which made him want to poke it. But no matter how he teased it, Ajin always lay motionless. What a lazy cat!
"Yang'er doesn't need friends. All I need is my parents. They are the best people in the world."
Mrs. Qiao smiled, put down her needlework, walked over to Xiao Wuyang, and hugged him. "Of course, your parents treat you the best, because you are their child, your inseparable blood. But those who treat you well in the future will have nothing to do with you. They treat you well, for no other reason than friendship. If you meet someone like that, you must remember to cherish them..."
…
Zhao Wuyang's originally yellow eyes became clear black and white again. He recalled every little thing after he entered Yuanqing: Liu Xia stepped forward when he was criticized; Xin Yi leaned towards him when he encountered a demon during a martial arts performance; Long Qi's magic weapon descended from the sky when he was experiencing danger.
From the few people who joined the Taoist sect to practice together, to supporting each other in times of danger, and taking care of each other when they were sick, the friendship they formed here is no longer something that can be simply summarized by the word "friends".
We are more like brothers than friends.
He has no brothers, but I guess that must be the case!
The hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the chaotic aura on Zhao Wuyang's body also began to disappear.
He suddenly realized that, besides constantly teaching him to be upright, his mother had also instilled in him the means to resolve the knots he would encounter throughout his life. His mother wasn't in good health, yet she still cared about him. If he continued to be so listless, how could he be worthy of her good intentions?
Zhao Wuyang naturally didn't know Mrs. Qiao's abilities, but as the ancients said, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Which parent doesn't want their child to have a smooth life?
But in this life, separation and reunion are always normal, and we will encounter all kinds of ups and downs. If we keep being depressed, wouldn’t it be a waste of our life in this world?
Mrs. Qiao knew her son's temperament well and had foreseen what he would encounter, so she let him go up the mountain to suffer and be tempered. But as a mother, she was still worried, so she asked Ah Jin to protect him.
She also wanted to be strong as a mother, but it was difficult for her to do so. She could only influence Zhao Wuyang subtly and raise him into a strong person.
Seeing that the aura of Zhao Wuyang had calmed down and faded away, Xinyi put aside her worries and collected her spiritual power. She looked at Zhao Wuyang, who still looked like a child, with warm eyes: Although this child has not lost his childish appearance, he is the most resilient among the four of them, and has an extremely pure heart.
Lingxiang is right. His future is definitely limitless.
Zhao Wuyang regained his composure and could clearly hear Lingxiang's frantic strumming. He couldn't help but wonder, was Elder Fu Cang trying to exorcise a ghost? Why was he playing the zither so repulsive and abhorrent?
Seeing Zhao Wuyang's inquiring eyes, Xinyi smiled helplessly and raised her hand, signaling him to read on patiently.
Lingxiang always has her own plans for what she does. Although her playing sounds like the howling of ghosts and wolves, the effect is still obvious - the spiritual energy that fills the room, entangled in strands, constantly floats to a corner of the room, gathers and swirls, as if something is about to appear in it.
Perhaps he was used to hearing this at Xianyunju, so Xinyi's face was very calm at this moment. Seeing him like this, Zhao Wuyang had no choice but to look at Lingxiang patiently.
He was only at the stage of physical training, and could not see the spiritual power clearly. However, due to the advantage of his heavenly star spiritual roots, he could feel the oppression in front of him.
Just as Long Qi was frowning and wondering when the spiritual incense would end, he saw her stop with a strum of the string, her face full of satisfaction, her eyes closed and her head raised, as if she was still immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.
Long Qi really didn't know where Lingxiang's confidence came from. He still remembered his mother as a great musician. In her free time, she and his father would play the qin and the flute together. Although he couldn't remember clearly now, he remembered it as a pleasant and soothing sound, not something so harsh and unbearable...
Just as he was lost in thought, he was stunned after glancing at Lingxiang's piano.
I still remember that during the Lantern Festival, the small carving of Qiuniu on the forehead of this zither was lying with its eyes closed facing Yueshan Mountain. How come it is now sitting with its head held high, with its back to the strings?
Could it be that he remembered it wrongly?
Long Qi blinked in confusion and was about to take a closer look, but he saw Lingxiang wave his sleeve and put away the Qiuniuqin.
"It's just as I expected. It seems to be quite effective." Lingxiang looked at the spiritual energy swirling around the dark patterns of the basalt, her face full of pride.
Long Qi was puzzled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked what she meant. Ling Xiang smiled and said, "I've heard before that the Northern God Xuanwu is a water symbol. As the sage once said, time flies by, so I guessed that Banxia and Liu Xia had fallen for the Xuanwu formation. Now it seems to be true!"
"I've thought about it, and since it's an ancient god's formation, I'll use ancient magic tools to break it. I just played the song 'High Mountains and Flowing Water', and whether it's the Five Elements or spiritual magic, it can compete with it."
Seeing Lingxiang's smug expression, Long Qi was unsure whether to tell the truth. Although he wasn't good at music, he had heard of "High Mountains and Flowing Water." It was an ancient piece, but people said it was as lofty as a mountain and as gentle as water.
But what Lingxiang had just played, where was the slightest hint of the charm of mountains and rivers? I'm afraid if Boya and Ziqi heard it, they would definitely lift the lid and scold her for being ignorant.
As he spoke, the spiritual energy that was originally swirling around him suddenly gathered and converged into a point in an instant. When everyone looked carefully, they saw that it was actually a bead floating in the air.
The bead was only the size of a bird's egg, round and smooth, and the color of the sea and sky. At first glance, it was like looking at the sea, sometimes calm and peaceful, sometimes surging with waves, which was very strange.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Lingxiang suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest. She quickly reached into her bosom and took out something, which was a Fire Spirit Bead of the same size as the one in front of her.
The Fire Spirit Pearl glowed red, like a blazing fireball, but strangely, the spiritual incense did not feel hot at all, only a hint of warmth surrounded the palm.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly flew away, circling the blue pearl up and down, like a phoenix courting a mate. As the Fire Spirit Pearl swirled for a moment, the blue pearl also began to swirl with it.
The two beads, one red and one blue, are entwined with each other, and as they rotate they look like the poles of yin and yang.
Seeing this, Lingxiang immediately understood why the Black Tortoise Formation, which was biased towards the water symbol, was so troublesome when both were ancient gods' four-symbol formation. When it came to cultivation, Liu Xia and Lu Ying were not much different!
The saying "time flies by" is just a guess. The root of the problem must be this bead! I think this is the rumored one.
Water Spirit Pearl!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang couldn't help but feel extremely proud. It was truly a case of searching high and low for something, only to find it without any effort. It turned out that in her efforts to save Banxia and the others, she had stumbled upon a lucky coin, forcing the Water Spirit Pearl out, while the wheat awn fell into the eye of the needle. What a coincidence!
Lingxiang twisted her fingers and moved towards the two spirit beads of fire and water, then took the two beads into her arms.
At this moment, spiritual energy suddenly burst out from the Xuanwu formation, which was extremely sharp. Everyone quickly raised their hands to resist. Lingxiang quickly used the "Calm Down" technique to protect everyone with shields.
The spiritual energy continued to impact the magic shield of Bolangbujingjue, which made Lingxiang feel powerless for a while, and the magic shield that protected everyone was even showing signs of cracking.
After all, it is the power of the four ancient gods, and its power cannot be underestimated!
If the magic shield of the Bolangbujing Jue was broken, they would probably suffer considerable damage!
For a moment, Lingxiang was a little confused. At this moment, she suddenly felt a surge of spiritual power pouring in from behind her. Looking back, she found that it was Lu Ying who was supplying her with spiritual power. Only then did she realize that Lu Ying had already reached the second stage of foundation building!
Being able to break through in such a difficult situation, Lu Ying is indeed extremely talented.
But even so, there were still some big cracks on Lingxiang's magic shield. Seeing this, everyone quickly twisted their fingers to help her.
Fortunately, the violent spiritual energy stopped after a moment, and a flash of light appeared on the Xuanwu Formation, and Banxia and Liu Xia suddenly appeared and fell heavily to the ground.
As soon as she landed on the ground, Banxia cried out in pain and kept muttering to herself: She was clearly still drawing the talisman array just now, how did she end up in this place all of a sudden?
When everyone saw the two of them appear, they hurried forward. However, the strange thing was that Banxia was conscious, while Liu Xia was unconscious and lying there motionless.
Lingxiang hurried forward to check Liu Xia's pulse, and found that his pulse was the same as Xinyi and the others before. She thought that he was affected by the four-way magic formation, but for some reason, his body was abnormally cold.
She hurriedly rolled up Liu Xia's sleeves, and was then shocked to see that Liu Xia's arms were covered with bruises, and some places had redness, swelling and blisters.
This is clearly frostbite!
Logically speaking, the magic circle should have some impact on the mind, so why did Liu Xia become like this?
But Lingxiang didn't have time to think. She quickly reached into her Qiankun bag and took out a pill. She pinched Liu Xia's mouth open and asked her to swallow it. Then she took out the Water Spirit Pearl from her arms.
But as soon as she took it out, she hesitated for a moment. Seeing her like this, Long Qi hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Lingxiang looked up at him but didn't answer, and continued to look at the Water Spirit Pearl in her hand.
Liu Xia is now severely frostbitten. The best way is to relieve the pain first with warm water, and then warm the whole body with warm water.
It took her a long time to master the Fire Spirit Pearl she had obtained from her fifth senior brother. Now that she had only obtained the Water Spirit Pearl not long ago, she was not completely sure how to use it!
But there is no other way right now!
Forget it, let's try our best! If Liu Xia's injuries are not treated in time, there will be endless troubles in the future! As ancient spiritual treasures, the Five Elements Beads should have similar uses!
After some thought, Lingxiang put the Water Spirit Pearl into Liu Xia's arms, then covered it with one hand, made hand gestures with the other hand, and muttered something.
No one knew what she was doing, but Long Qi knew. He had seen Lingxiang use this method to save a child before when he went out with her.
The child fell into the river while playing, but fortunately two people passed by and rescued him to shore. However, the child was already weak, so Lingxiang used this method to save him.
Long Qi signaled everyone to be silent so as not to disturb Lingxiang. But at this moment, the stone house where they were in the Four Symbols Formation suddenly shook, and then several people felt themselves lose their composure and were thrown up.
The scenery in front of the stone house kept changing, and the house was sinking rapidly!
Seeing this, Lingxiang hurriedly shouted out, ordering everyone to use their spiritual power to protect their bodies. She also wrapped herself and Liu Xia with the Calm and Remaining Calm technique.
But before everyone could use their spiritual power, the stone house gradually slowed down!
