Immortal Formula

   Chapter 591 Remains of the monk

   At this time, before the entrance of Wanzun Qiandong, at the intersection of the three passages on the left, middle and right, the nine people who joined hands to enter the Sword Washing Pond that day, except for Gu Yan, have all gathered here. They seem to be discussing something.

Among these people, Shu Fangshuo was the loudest. He waved his fist and said, "What else do you think, we have to hurry in and rescue the girl from the Gu family. Don't forget, there are thousands of caves and thousands of swords. The soul is entrenched, there are countless monsters and poisonous insects, that is a place where there are nine deaths!"

Sheng Hualan snorted lazily: "Xiao Fang, what are you talking about, it's so dangerous that we all came out one by one, and she was the only one trapped in it? If I want to tell you, she just doesn't know what to do, just fine. Wouldn't it be fine if you follow others around, but you want to do what you can do? If you don't have the ability, just stay honest, don't you think Qin Gongzi will be fine? "

  Qin Feng stood beside Jiang Yaojia without saying a word. Hearing Sheng Hualan's words, the expression on his face changed slightly, but looking at Jiang Yaojia, he just smiled and didn't say a word, and still stood there without speaking. On the other hand, Yue Jiuxi kept his face straight and did not participate in their opinions.

I only heard Fang Shuo's louder voice saying: "What do you know? That's a mirage, something that the seniors talked about and turned pale. You go in and give me a try? My sword soul is given by her. , you don't care, but I must save her!" After he finished speaking, he strode inside.

  Sheng Hualan pointed at Fang Shuo in amazement and said, "Xiao Fang, are you actually yelling at me? For a wild woman with no origin?"

   Fang Shuo snorted heavily, ignored her, and walked forward. At this time, Su Manjian grabbed his arm, she passed the panic before, but now she calmed down and said, "Sister Gu has been trapped for several days, don't hurry at this moment, listen to Brother Shen What's the meaning?"

Qin Mingyue, who had not spoken all the time, said in a soft voice: "Man Jian is right, the nine of us go in and out at the same time, and we are one with each other. We cannot ignore the overall situation for the sake of one's safety, Xiao Fang, you. Say yes?"

  Su Manjian frowned, feeling that Qin Mingyue's words were a little out of place, she looked at Shen Mengli, "Brother Shen, what do you mean?"

  Shen Mengli still had that gentle and elegant smile, "Miss Su, what you saw when you entered, are you really sure it was a mirage?"

"This..." Su Manjian was at a loss for words. She was just guessing and didn't see the mirage's body. Although she was 90% sure, it wasn't what she saw. Maybe it was some kind of phantom array left over from ancient times. , so happened to be broken into by them, maybe?

Shen Mengli said: "If it's really a mirage, with all due respect, although Fairy Gu is a master of Yun Ze, but to deal with such a monster that even the ancestors of Nascent Soul of the older generation have a headache, I'm afraid it's still not enough, Brother Qin. dont you agree?"

   Qin Feng smiled at him and responded.

Shen Mengli said: "I heard that Fairy Gu is very accomplished in the formation..." Sheng Hualan snorted heavily from the side, he smiled and nodded, "So if you are trapped by the formation, you will not be able to do it for a while. If something is really a mirage, I'm afraid it's too late to go now. And we have to consider, if it's a mirage, we don't want anyone to be rescued, and we are also taken in. The teacher asked us to go into the sword washing pool to find opportunities, but it's not It's going to die. And Xijian Pond is an innate secret realm. As soon as we come in, even the teachers can't see our traces, let alone the details inside. If there is a mirage, we have to spread the news. ."

   His remarks were modest and peaceful, covering everything. Many people nodded and said yes, and Su Manjian was speechless.

Shen Mengli continued: "So we still have to make a strategy, everyone walks together, don't separate, put signs along the way, and go in slowly, there are two master formation masters from Lianhua Mountain here, presumably we will not get lost. It’s the best way to save people, but if it doesn’t work, you should spy on what’s going on inside, and then make a decision, Xiao Fang, what do you think?”

  Fang Shuo only felt that Shen Mengli's words were wrong, but he had no way to refute it. He put down his hat of "disregarding the overall situation", so that he had no objection, so he snorted: "Just do it!"

  Shen Mengli said with a smile: "That's the best, we all have a good match first, and then move forward slowly, in order to protect ourselves."

Everyone made a plan, and then led by Shen Mengli, they moved forward one by one. Su Manjian was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't get out to find Gu Yan by herself, so she could only re-enter. The tiger's mouth was nothing, so I had to be patient and slowly move forward with the large army. She secretly prayed in her heart: Sister Gu, you must hold on.

   At this moment, Gu Yan didn't know who was worried about her outside, who was thinking about her, she just looked at the cave that was blasted into rubble and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little girl. Her name was not wrong, she really looked like a lunatic!

   Just like her spells that work when they are not working, Gu Yan is really overwhelmed.

   sensed by the phantom sword spirit flag she had placed around her, that the sword spirit was still in the cave, and she pushed aside the gravel in front of her and walked slowly forward.

  Behind the gravel, there is a very deep hole, Gu Yan stepped into it, only to find that there is a cave inside. It seems to be a fairyland isolated from the gloomy ghosts outside.

   seems to be a large karst cave, which has been hollowed out under the ground, with long stone bars hanging from the top of the head. It seems that it will take a long time before a drop of viscous liquid drips down. Falling on the ground, milky white aura suddenly overflowed.

  Ning Fengzi jumped out again at some point, she took a deep breath and said, "This is a really good place!"

  Gu Yan couldn't help but be surprised. With her eyesight as a superb alchemist, she could naturally recognize it. This is Lingshi Immortal Milk, Wanzai Kongqing, which is the best material for refining healing elixir. Naturally, she couldn't let go of this opportunity. She took out a jade bottle, and only then did she realize that there was already a shallow pit under her feet, with a puddle of fairy milk in it, which was glowing with milky white light. She couldn't help admiring, it was really water dripping through the stone, such a slow dripping method actually dropped the hard ground into a pit, and I don't know how many thousands of years it has existed here.

The place in front is not big, the surrounding stone walls are very smooth, and there are some stalagmites growing around, which is nothing special, but on the stone wall closest to the front, it makes Gu Yan solidly startled, it seems that there is a person, He was sitting there with his knees crossed, sitting upright, motionless, as if he was retreating and cultivating. And that sword soul, at this time, was circling around his body, unable to circle.

  Gu Yan took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. It turned out that it was just a skeleton. I don't know how many years have passed, his body has been eroded by the water vapor here, and only a skeleton remains. But the clothes are still intact, with pale golden brilliance, which is not ordinary. This is probably a certain senior who fell into the Sword Washing Pond and died in the end without being able to escape.

The sword soul became very quiet and harmless at this time, Gu Yan threw it aside first, walked to the skeleton, and saluted respectfully, "Junior Gu Yan, accidentally entered here, There are many offenses in disturbing the senior's Qingxiu, please forgive me."

   Sword Soul in the air let out a low whimper, as if to thank Gu Yan for being polite.

  Ning Fengzi stood on the Zhu Yanjing mirror, she looked around curiously, and the corner of her eyes was always staring at the sword soul in the air, as if saying: "Don't run, or I will catch you back!"

   Sword Soul seemed to be very afraid of her, and slipped to the other side like a swimming fish, avoiding Ning Fengzi's gaze.

On the surrounding stone walls, there were some remnants of handwriting. Gu Yan gave a salute, stood up and looked at it for a moment, then walked up to the skeleton again and said, "Excuse me!" She bent down, Yu skeleton's Under the seat cushion, a golden box was taken out. He didn't open it immediately, but bowed to him again, "Senior's order, I will do my best."

She said this sentence, as if she had fulfilled a wish. The skeleton collapsed with a "crashing". The countless bones touched each other and turned into fly ash in the air, floating around like the wind. After no trace, there will be no trace left in the blink of an eye.

  The clothes he was wearing floated up on their own at this time, folded into a square in the air, fell in front of Gu Yan, and floated quietly in the air.

   This is a golden robe, embroidered with countless jade silk and gold threads, dazzling brilliance, and inlaid with countless spar of different colors, some of which even Gu Yan can't recognize the origin.

   She sighed and put away the golden robe solemnly before opening the golden box.

  In the golden box, there were two pieces of jade slips that had already turned yellow, and Gu Yan slowly looked at them. There was a sigh in her heart, and the short words recorded the life of a monk in this way.

  This monk, obviously the bones have already died prematurely. On the stone wall are the last words he left behind. That's probably what he left before he sat down. He didn't mention the year he died here, but according to Gu Yan's guess, it should have been four or five thousand years ago.

Because this monk made it very clear, he entered the sword washing pool to practice, accidentally trapped by the mirage, tried his best to escape here, but in the end he was too injured to recover, and the terrain has changed, he Trapped here, unable to go out. Fortunately, there is Lingshi Immortal Milk, which allows him to support for a few more years, leave these messages, and make arrangements for the aftermath.

   This monk did not mention his identity, but Gu Yan guessed that he should not be a member of the Tibetan Sword Villa, because in his last words, he did not mention anything about the Tibetan Sword Villa. But he said that he collected a sword soul in the sword washing pool. That is the one that is circling around Gu Yan now.

Therefore, Gu Yan thought that he was probably a loose cultivator, perhaps by virtue of his own ability, he secretly entered the Sword Washing Pond, and was able to avoid the eyes of those Nascent Soul major cultivators, and he came here to find opportunities, relying on his body. A golden robe.

This magic weapon, which he called "Golden Clothes" in the jade slips, is said to be made of the stalk of the golden lotus in the immeasurable Tianchi, which is mixed with seabed black gold silk and cloud silk jade thread, which can cover all the monks. Breath, even hidden from the eyes of Yuan Ying overhaul.

As for a loose cultivator, having the opportunity to seek fortune in the Sword Washing Pond is a great opportunity, but unfortunately his luck is really bad. After entering the Sword Washing Pond, he encounters a mirage that has never been seen in a thousand years. Afterwards, the disciples of the Tibetan Sword Villa who entered this place suffered tragic deaths, but he still managed to escape to this place, which really proves that his strength is true.

  Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh, why does Jie Ying have to enter the Sword Washing Pond? This loose cultivator is still not confident enough in himself. Could it be that without the chance here, he will never be a baby in his life?

This is something she takes for granted. As a monk outside the nine major factions, even with the strength of a family or a sect, it is still an extremely difficult thing to have a baby. The treasures of heaven and earth can be used vigorously, and there are not so many secret realms to look for opportunities. Wei Dongyang, who made such perfect preparations, finally perished on Qiyun Mountain. Only Gu Yan, a born alien, would not be troubled by these things.

After the cultivator successfully collected a sword soul, he withdrew from the place, but was trapped by the mirage and died helplessly. When he was about to die, he sent a message to the mirage who had been completely collected by himself. He gave an order to make it do his best to avenge himself. If anyone can kill the mirage and avenge himself, then the sword soul can recognize him as the master in the future.

   Seeing this, Gu Yan only understood why the sword soul didn't escape now.

According to her guess, the four mirages should be the corpses left by the Nascent Soul monks when they were besieged, and possessed by the sword soul, but it is only the sword soul, and I don't know how to destroy their bodies. Killing, but by chance, it merged with the body of the mirage, and a monster with natural abilities was created. A formation was set up here, and he slammed into it silently.

However, during the fight, Gu Yan used the power of Ning Fengzi to completely kill the four mirages, and the body turned into flying smoke, which was the completion of the cultivator's original oath, and the sword soul was directed towards this cultivator. Bianfei did not mean to escape, but to lead Gu Yan to the original owner to complete the oath of handover.

  Gu Yan smiled at the sword soul, "You are really loyal. If so, don't resist, let's do this as a gift!"

   She waved her hand, and the last sword of the Nine Profound Heavenly Soldier fell from the sky, and the silver light shone, filling the room immediately.

  The sword soul made a silent cry in the air, bowed three times to Gu Yan, and then threw it on the heavenly soldiers.

A blue qi quickly fell into the sword's edge, and then disappeared, and above the whole celestial weapon, there was a layer of hazy azure qi, if there was nothing at all, and Gu Yan had already sensed this celestial weapon. His coercion finally completely surpassed the rest of the eight Heavenly Soldiers. The magic sword spirit flag she refined finally has a core treasure of suppression.

And this sword soul, in the process of merging with the mirage, was even more contaminated with the mirage's natural ability to control the magic of the formation, and it was integrated into the Nine Profound Heavenly Soldiers, so that this phantom sword spirit flag, More worthy of the name.

Gu Yan's mind just moved slightly, and the celestial soldier disappeared from the sky on its own, while the five-color spirit flag and the eight celestial soldiers appeared in the air at the same time, appearing and disappearing, coming and going like the wind, between the sword and the flag. Changes, mutual transformations, great ingenuity without work, heavy without clumsiness, lifting weights as light as possible, running by the heart, without the slightest trace.

   This sword soul seems to have merged into the Nine Profound Heavenly Soldiers silently like this, without any trace of the previous one.

  Gu Yan's top priority after entering the Sword Washing Pond was silently completed in this cave. She got up again, bowed to the place where the skeleton was originally, and said silently in her heart: "I will find your descendant, if he has spiritual roots, I will lead him to the path of immortality, and Giving him this golden robe is my promise to you."

The monk mentioned in his last words that he came from Bichi, which is the center of the entire Cangwu land, a county in Tianyun Prefecture, the place under the jurisdiction of Tianzhu Peak Yuxu Palace, and the most prosperous cultivation place in Cangwu. . And he was there with his family, wife and daughter, so when he was dying, he left a last word, asking those who can see his skeleton to help him fulfill his wish, and combine this golden robe with a book. Bring the magic of immortality to Bichi County. If the descendants have spiritual roots, they will lead him into the path of immortality. Otherwise, the golden robe will be used as a thank you gift.

   And the gift of thanks certainly doesn’t stop there. Gu Yan found that the monk seemed to be very poor. In addition to this golden robe, he only had two offensive magic weapons, but they were destroyed in the fight with the mirage, and the rest were only the two pieces of jade. Jane, and a mysterious crystal that he treasured.

   That piece of profound crystal is naturally a rare thing that cannot be found in the world, but Gu Yan already has a piece, so he doesn't particularly care about it. That piece of profound crystal was about half the size of a child's palm. It was extremely precious, but compared to the jade slip, it couldn't attract Gu Yan's attention any more.

   And these two jade slips can be regarded by him as a thank-you gift to his benefactor. Naturally, they are not ordinary, and Gu Yan can't help but be moved. It seems to record a big secret of the Sword Washing Pond.

According to the monk, this jade slip was discovered by him in the deepest part of the Sword Washing Pond. It was a secret place in the Sword Washing Pond. After seeing this, Gu Yan knew that it was originally in the Ten Thousand Honors and Thousand Caves. In addition, behind countless sword souls, there is a secret place in the Sword Washing Pond. It is the real place of death, and it is also a forbidden place under the solemn order of Hidden Sword Mountain. No disciple is allowed to trespass before conceiving a baby.

   And these two jade slips, before the last Dao and Demon War, did not know which ancestor broke into the Sword Washing Pond and left his own records. In this jade slip, it is recorded that after the secret place, where did the sword wash pool lead to?

  Different from other secret realms isolated from heaven and earth, Xijian Pond is a lake under Tiger Hill. And this lake, for tens of thousands of years, the water is natural and clear, and there must be living water at the source, but no one knows, where does the sword-washing pool lead at the end?

   This seems to be in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and it is also a secret that no one has ever mentioned. In this jade slip, the scene that the ancient monk saw back then was mentioned.

   It's just that there are some remnants of the jade slip, and the words on it are unclear. It seems that the cultivator recorded it in a panic. It reads "Heaven and earth are shaken, like the catastrophe of the end of the world. Hundreds of beasts are ferocious, and ten thousand demons appear together, and the world wants to make them disappear. There are countless kinds, innumerable, and those that are not seen by ordinary people, nine out of ten."

The meaning of    above is that at the source of the Sword Washing Pond, the cultivator saw a scene like a catastrophe of heaven and earth, and countless unknown but extremely vicious monsters poured out from there.

   Gu Yan thought to himself, could this be the origin of these nameless monsters in the Sword Washing Pond?

   She looked at the jade slip, there was no date recorded, but there was speculation that the monk who died earlier was probably about 18,000 years ago.

In this way, if the monsters all come from the source of the Sword Washing Pond, then there should be more than one scene like the doomsday catastrophe. Otherwise, five thousand years ago, the silent mirage came from Where did it come from?

   And what kind of situation can it make a Nascent Soul cultivator feel at a loss, and treat it as a catastrophe like the end of the day. It made Gu Yan's heart agitated.

   At this moment, she felt that she seemed to have touched a shadow of ancient mystery again.

   When she saw those ancient murals in Lancang Valley, she once had such a feeling, but those murals were inadvertently destroyed. Today, this feeling seems to come back again.

   She pondered for a moment, but didn't make up her mind whether she should go there or not.

  Although the above record made her yearn for it, it also stated the danger. In the so-called Sword Washing Pond, there are at least five or more great secret places, all of which are places that cannot be easily accessed during the Core Formation Stage, and the true source of the Sword Washing Pond is to pass through the jade slips after these secret places. The place where the so-called "black underworld" and "tens of thousands of miles of quicksand". The Gangfeng sword energy there is extremely fierce, Gu Yan thought to herself, it is not something she can resist now.

   She hesitated for a moment, but put the jade slip away first. No matter what, keep this secret in your heart first. One day in the future, she will find the answer. Although she is also interested in those ancient mysteries and wants to explore the origin of heaven and earth, but now is not the time after all.

  During this process, Ning Fengzi stood quietly on the Zhu Yanjing mirror. She looked around curiously, looking at the environment here, twitching her nose constantly, absorbing the rich spiritual energy here. Gu Yan smiled and said, "Do you think this place is familiar?"

  Ning Fengzi nodded, "Really familiar, I really want to drink that thing!"

She pointed to the back with her hand, pointing at the Lingshi Immortal Milk that kept ticking downward, and then she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips lightly, Gu Yan couldn't help opening her mouth, this artifact, It seems that just like Xiao Jiang, they are both delicious guys...
