After hearing what Zhang Baiyi said, the abbot of Tianyuan Temple invited Luo Yunyan over.
Luo Yunyan carefully recalled the little boy's words, "Every year on this day, my sister would set out a lot of food that I like to eat, but this year my way home was suddenly blocked, and I can't get out of here no matter how hard I try."
Then there were shouts and cries of killing that shook the heavens. The little boy said, "Those older brothers who kept getting killed are here too. They can't get out either."
The abbot of Tianyuan Temple said, "It's probably here, where the eight thousand soldiers died, that a soul-sucking formation was set up, trapping the souls of the eight thousand soldiers inside the formation.
That little boy was a passing ghost, and was sucked into the soul-sucking formation when it was activated. He might have entered the formation earlier than these eight thousand soldiers."
The abbot then asked, "Miss Luo, I heard from Duke Dingguo that you are skilled in strange and insidious magic. Have you dabbled in formation techniques?"
Luo Yunyan thought: I have read all the books about formations in the Gu tribe, so does that count as learning them?
So he nodded.
The abbot said, "I think if it really is a soul-sucking formation, we can use the Tianyuan Temple to perform a ritual to force the formation to appear.
After the Soul-Absorbing Formation appears, Miss Luo will lead several senior monks from Tianyuan Temple into the formation. They will obey your orders and protect you while Miss Luo breaks the formation."
Luo Yunyan nodded after hearing the first part, but was surprised after hearing the second part and asked, "Why me?"
Aren't you the ones who broke the formation while I watched from the side?!
The abbot said, "The Soul-Absorbing Formation is a demonic formation. Heaven, demon, and man are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. It is difficult for human power to break the demonic formation. However, Miss Luo is the high priestess of the Gu Clan and is skilled in drawing the power of heavenly thunder. This formation must be broken by the power of heavenly thunder."
Luo Yunyan asked, "So you want me to chop it in half if you take it out?"
The abbot nodded. "It's just that it can't be broken from the outside. Priest Luo needs to enter the formation and attack from the inside... meaning to chop it from the inside."
Three days later, the abbot of Tianyuan Temple and other senior monks cast a spell, and Labagou, which was once sunny and full of birds and butterflies, suddenly changed.
Dark clouds gathered, obscuring the sky and the sun. Thick black fog rose from the valley. The temperature plummeted, and a cold wind blew across my face, chilling me to the bone. Within the fog, I could hear the faint sound of mournful weeping, as if something were constantly surging.
Luo Yunyan calmed herself down and walked into the fog with the six big monks. Zhang Baiyi followed quietly behind and was pulled out by two people on the left and right.
At first glance, they were two of the four people with facial paralysis.
Face 1: "Don't cause trouble for Miss Luo."
Face Four: “Yeah.”
Zhang Baiyi didn't listen to them and wanted to go in. When he looked up again, there was no big black fog and the dark clouds above his head had also dissipated.
The sun was shining brightly in Labagou once again, and the breeze was gentle and warm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion. Luo Yunyan and the six monks had also disappeared.
Luo Yunyan walked in the thick fog where she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. No matter how wide she opened her eyes, she couldn't tell the direction. It seemed that she had been walking for a long time but still couldn't get out of the fog.
The six monks behind him also disappeared.
Luo Yunyan stopped, closed her eyes, and began to "see." All she saw was still a thick fog. She began to slowly turn her body in place. After turning a small circle, a road appeared in front of her closed eyes.
Luo Yunyan could "see" that compared with the dim and dark colors around it, this road was glowing white.
She walked up with her eyes closed, and soon on this road, she "saw" her mother and Luo Buwang walking affectionately in front of her.
Her mother stuffed a sweet and sour plum candy into Luo Buwang's mouth. It was her favorite treat, and her mother often bought it for her. Luo Yunyan followed behind in silence.
Suddenly, her mother turned around and handed Luo Yunyan a piece of thousand-layer cake. Luo Yunyan was surprised. It turned out that her mother also remembered what she liked and would buy it for her.
Her mother smiled at her and said gently, "Eat quickly."
The next moment, Luo Yunyan stuffed the thousand-layer cake in her hand into her mother's mouth.
"Liar! My mother won't smile at me, won't buy me a thousand-layer cake, and won't speak to me gently!"
"Go to hell!" She waved her hand and released the power of thunder and lightning. Mom and Luo Buwang immediately disappeared like smoke and dust, but a small pool of blood was left on the ground.
As Luo Yunyan waved her hand and released the power of thunder and lightning, the fog around the entire road seemed to dissipate a little.
Luo Yunyan saw a small figure in front of her, "Brother Bingtang"?
Luo Yunyan chased after him, and it was really him. The little boy saw her, but said nothing and continued walking forward.
Luo Yunyan asked, "Why are you ignoring your sister?"
The little boy said, "I was originally in that valley. You pointed at me, and I came here."
Luo Yunyan thought to herself: I used the method of dissolving the barrier to break the formation, but in the end I only revealed the true form of the formation.
She said to the little boy, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I will try my best to help you get out this time."
The little boy listened and said, "Did you answer the question correctly?"
Luo Yunyan asked: "What's the problem?"
"I walked to the edge of the road and fell down. There was a person below asking questions. But that person didn't ask me and threw me up again. Maybe if I answered correctly, I could leave."
Luo Yunyan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try." She looked down but couldn't see anything. After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and jumped down.
There was only the sound of the wind, and the place kept falling, as if the falling process was endless. Luo Yunyan was nervous at first, and then she waited calmly... waited patiently... It was annoying. Where would it fall to? Was there any clue?
She actually fell asleep for a while, and when she opened her eyes again she was still on that road. ???
Looking ahead, Luo Buwang and his mother were walking in front. His mother stuffed a plum candy into Luo Buwang's mouth, and she followed behind. Suddenly, his mother turned around and handed Luo Yunyan a piece of thousand-layer cake.
Luo Yunyan dodged and raised her hand to push the two people down. When they were about to fall from the edge of the road, they suddenly dissipated into clouds and smoke.
Luo Yunyan ran forward and saw "Brother Bingtang" again. She grabbed him.
"Why did you lie to me? Where is the person who asked the question?"
The little boy looked at her confusedly: "Are you looking for someone to ask questions?"
Luo Yunyan nodded.
The little boy took Luo Yunyan's hand and walked to the edge of the road, then pulled her down together.
Still the sound of the wind.
The little boy asked, "Can you see the clouds floating around you?"
Luo Yunyan only saw black mist: "What kind of clouds?"
"White and glowing."
Luo Yunyan closed her eyes, and sure enough, as they continued to fall, some white glowing clouds occasionally floated by.
"Land on them, or grab one with your hands."
Catch? A? Cloud? Or fall on it?
Okay.
Luo Yunyan closed her eyes and "watched" the white clouds floating past her feet. She stretched out her feet when she was falling, but they were off-center and she still fell down by brushing against the cloud. However, at the moment of falling, she "grabbed" the cloud.
It felt like grabbing a piece of cork board. Luo Yunyan and her brother Bingtang were carried by the cloud to a huge white glowing cloud, which seemed so big that it seemed endless.
As soon as they landed, the little white cloud floated away again.
