Chapter 191: Seeing the Sun Again and Remembering Yaoyi
Liu Xia's injuries had healed about 70% and he could already stand, but no one knew what he was thinking, as he kept staring at Banxia.
Banxia was horrified by his gaze. She hid beside Lingxiang and dared not say a word. She kept wondering in her heart: Is this guy frozen stupid? Why does he keep staring at me?
Lingxiang was also puzzled. Could it be that when he was treating Liu Xia's injuries, the pure spiritual water from the Water Spirit Pearl entered his brain? How did it become so strange?
She was extremely puzzled and quickly whispered in Banxia's ear, "How did you offend him?" Banxia felt innocent and replied softly, "He thinks I offended him every day. Which time are you asking about?"
What a joke! I put so much effort into saving him, but who knew the formation would suddenly fail? I'm still a little confused.
Seeing this, Long Qi couldn't help but feel surprised. He whispered to Xinyi, "Could it be that Liu Xia has taken a fancy to that girl? These two entered the Xuanwu formation together. Something must have happened."
Xinyi just smiled and said nothing.
According to his experience, something must have happened to everyone in the formation, and it just so happened that the two of them entered the same formation, so it would be strange to say that nothing happened.
Actually, that’s not the case. Xinyi, Liu Xia, Zhao Wuyang, and Lu Ying were all hit by the magic power of the Four Symbols Formation, but Banxia walked in by herself.
Lingxiang once said that Banxia's Bagua plate had a great origin. In fact, it was the Bagua plate used by King Wen of Xibo.
While it's widely known that "King Wen was imprisoned and expounded the Book of Changes," few know its specific origins. According to legend, in ancient times, Emperor Fuxi first created the Xiantian, Shennong later created the Lianshan Mountains, and Xuanyuan created the Guizang Mountains. King Wen combined these three elements to create the sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines. From this, the hexagram and line statements became known as the Book of Changes.
Of course, due to the long history, there are many different opinions, and the details are difficult to verify. Some say that King Wen's Zhouyi originated from the Hetu and Luoshu. But at its core, it is ultimately the Yin-Yang Bagua.
Therefore, Pinellia's Bagua plate is also known as King Wen's Bagua.
But don't underestimate this tiny plate. It can not only predict the future, but also bring good fortune and avoid disaster, arrange formations and perform magic, and exorcise demons. It's in no way inferior to the weapons chosen by Cheng Qi and his companions. Even the founder of the Yuanqing School, Patriarch Wuwei, used it for a period of time. So when the elders saw this small Bagua plate, they were truly amazed.
Let’s go back to the secret room of the Long family. The four people were all hit by the magic circle of the Four Symbols Formation and disappeared. However, there was no illusion array under Banxia’s feet. She walked into the Black Tortoise Formation by herself under the guidance of the Bagua Plate.
Although we don't know what the purpose of King Wen's Eight Trigrams is, we think that cause and effect are predestined by heaven, and it just added fuel to the fire.
The stone house finally stopped after slowing down for a while. Everyone waited for a while, and then saw a door at the Xuanwu totem opened, and outside was the inner courtyard of the Long family.
I think the head of the Long family entered the secret room from here before. I can’t believe that everyone went to such great lengths to find it.
But what's strange is why there is another entrance?
"Is this the Long family?" Zhao Wuyang asked after the stone door behind him closed.
The stone door was hidden. Once it was closed, vines climbed up all around it, and there was no sign of any mechanism at all. No wonder no one noticed it when they were exploring the Long family earlier.
Hearing his question, Banxia was a little puzzled: "What happened to the Long family? Weren't we also in the Long family before..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped - since she was in the Long family, she might meet Hui Wu again. It was because she was defeated by him before that she escaped with the magic talisman and accidentally entered the secret room of the Long family.
The secret room was completely darkened, and everyone was trapped in the Four Symbols Formation, so they had no idea what time it was. Now, as the sun was setting, it seemed like quite a while had passed...
I wonder if Huiwu has cracked the anti-curve formation...
The group of seven people hurriedly ran towards the courtyard they had been to before, but there was no sign of Hui Wu or even a trace of a monster in the courtyard.
"Could it be that he has broken the anti-curve formation?" Long Qi was extremely puzzled. Logically speaking, when Hui Wu left Yuan Qing, his cultivation level was only about the same as his current level. Not to mention himself now, even Xin Yi might not be able to break Ling Xiang's formation. How did he do it?
Lingxiang was also very puzzled. Not to mention her own mastery of the formation, even the characteristics of the anti-curve formation made it extremely difficult to crack from the inside, unless...
Unless there is someone else!
Thinking of this, she quickly squatted down to check the traces of the formation on the ground, and it was just as she thought.
"Everyone, be careful!" Lingxiang suddenly said, "He has helpers!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became alert. Xinyi flicked her fingers, opening her six senses and exploring every corner of the house. However, apart from them, there was no one else in the house.
"I think he has already left." Xinyi said as he put away his magic.
"Hmm..." Banxia also echoed: "The eight trigrams plate shows a good omen, so I think it should be fine."
Only then did everyone let down their guard.
Lu Ying stepped forward, clasping his fingers and bowing to the crowd. "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now. This matter has been clarified from beginning to end, and I can now give an explanation to the court. Furthermore, I need to report this matter to Master, so I can't delay any further."
After all, Hui Wu was also born in the Tai Shang Sect, and it was estimated that Zhenren Lieyang would make some arrangements after knowing this.
Thinking of this, Lingxiang also clasped his fingers together in return and said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you here to reminisce about the past. The journey is long, and I hope you have a safe journey." He then bowed and said, "Please give my regards to the two Immortals."
Lu Ying quickly bowed in response, and everyone said goodbye to each other.
At the gate of the Long Mansion, Long Qi watched Lu Ying retreating, a wave of emotion washed over him. He recalled that if Lu Ying hadn't gotten into trouble when he was considering joining the Supreme Sect, he probably wouldn't have met Lingxiang. And since the Liangcheng incident, and his next encounter with Lu Ying, only a few short months had passed. Who would have thought he'd already become a disciple of the Yuanqing Sect? And within a few months, under Lingxiang's guidance, he'd already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Time really flies!
Huh? Liangcheng?
He seemed to have forgotten something...
"If you see Miss Lingxiang, please tell her this: Even if you hang your head and go back to heaven, it is impossible to turn back again; the dreams of fools are all in vain."
Ah! It's Liu Yaoyi!
Long Qi slapped his head suddenly, scaring everyone to look at him. Lingxiang was even more disgusted: Could it be that Long Qi went to his own tomb and his brain was damaged?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Long Qi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but after all he was asked to do so, so he quickly pulled Lingxiang and told her about his previous encounter with Liu Yaoyi in Liangcheng.
Hearing this, Lingxiang's brows furrowed even further. Liu Yaoyi was just a fox demon. Even with her high cultivation, how could she know about the Hanging Silk Technique and the Heaven-Restoring Pill? Those were her mother's techniques and elixirs. And what about her talk of a foolish dream?
It seems that this mystery cannot be solved by just going to Yunmengze...
In this case, why not meet Liu Yaoyi again before going to Yunmengze? I think she must have a connection with my mother.
