night.

Clouds and mists are everywhere.

The ancient mist and clouds of the ancient mountains that have not changed for thousands of years are still deep. Even the bright moon on the fifteenth night can only leave a confused silver.

A strange carriage appeared ten miles north of King Shangwu's ancient tomb, outside the ruins of the Wu tribe's blood sacrifice mountain village in the southern border.

The carriage was pitch black all over, and surrounded by yellow talisman paper, like a coffin sealed with evil spirits. The carriage was a paper horse that could only be used for funerals, and it was also covered with yellow paper. Driven by unknown forces, he stepped forward stiffly.

The carriage moved forward quickly, making a rumbling sound, but it was so strange that it did not leave any traces of ruts.

If you look carefully through the fog, you will find that the wheels have never turned, and even the carriage has never been on the ground.

Its wheels are always about half an inch away from the ground, as if they were being carried forward by something.

But the rumbling axle sound kept ringing.

If this strange scene is seen by a timid person, I am afraid that it will be lost on the spot.

The carriage wandered around the ruins of the mountain village for a week, then turned straight through the ruins and headed straight to the hills in the south, where the witch tribe's altar was located.

"This is the method of blood sacrifice in the ghost realm."

A clear and indifferent sound sounded in the carriage, but it was Yan Li.

"Using the Netherworld Evil Refining Formation to block the vital flow around the village, we set up an altar in the south to make the living beings in the northern Kanshui, and respond to the death gate... It's really a rough method." Yan Li said indifferently.

"It's also a tragic technique." The second young man's voice sounded in the carriage, which was Guiyun. "Sect Master, I still think I don't understand..."

"I can't figure out what?" Yan Li asked leisurely.

"Why do we make the carriage like this and come out to investigate?" Gui Yun frowned. He thought for a long time, but still didn't know why Yan Li had to prepare such a strange carriage to go out.

This carriage is so terrifying that it is all evil cultivators!

"Haha..." Yan Li chuckled and asked back, "How many enemies do we have?"

"Two evil cultivators of the witch clan, plus the corpse demon, there are at least three..." Gui Yun replied seriously.

"Yeah." Yan Li nodded, "There are three opponents, and they are all innate and above. The corpse demon is the direct inheritor of the Demon Sect and the peak of the Gangsha. The two of us combined are not opponents at all. Even... Once we encounter it, we don't even have a chance to escape..."

If someone else was listening, they would definitely complain that the master of Yun Sect's cultivation was too low and it was completely unreliable. But Gui Yun never had this idea in his mind. In his opinion, the sect leader is the sect leader and is always correct.

"With this carriage, people in the ghost realm may mistakenly recognize that we are fellow men. Not only will we have enough time to escape, but we may also have the opportunity to get information." Yan Li continued to explain, "What's more, I was also interested in experimenting with the ghost realm method. Facts have proved that this method of exorcising ghosts is much simpler than I expected."

That's right, as Yan Li said, this carriage is completely driven by the art of exorcism, summoning the power of ghosts in the underworld, so it can float in the air and carry a strange aura.

With Yan Li's mild cultivation level, he could easily carve the ghost formation on the carriage. With the spells and talismans to achieve this level, the characteristics of the ghost cultivation can be seen:

Although both ghosts and gods are within the scope of cultivators' leverage, ghost power is far less than divine power, and it is much easier to use divine power when servitude. However, it is easy to get started with ghost cultivation, but it is limited to the roughness of ghost power itself, making it difficult to achieve subtleties.

Moreover, this carriage can only levitate silently, move forward quickly, and it is completely impossible to fly and escape from the earth.

After hearing this, Gui Yun was still a little puzzled and continued to ask: "But, Yi Zong...uh, with Senior Brother Yan's means, he should be able to open the Leiming Xianque to escape at any time, why should he do this?"

"Ha. The reason why trump cards are trump cards is that they cannot be used easily. Moreover, using the highest secret of the Yun Sect to deal with these miscellaneous fish would cause a loss of their identity as the sect leader." Yan Li said with a smile.

In fact, he doesn't care about the identity and style of the sect leader at all.

He did not want to use his trump card, on the one hand, for the purpose of keeping it secret; on the other hand, using the privileges of the Lord of Yun Sect to win is tantamount to cheating in this small crisis. Not only does it not help the situation, but it will make him lose the opportunity to realize the changes in people's hearts.

This is not what he wants to do.

Looking back at his previous life, Yan Li also read many legendary stories. Among them, the protagonists are often extremely distressed and have to endure humiliation and betray themselves, practice and upgrade their skills. They use all their trump cards to gain a chance to turn things around.

Whenever he sees such a plot, Yan Li will think: People are not reptiles, they have to survive by relying on minions, and they have to rely on their minions to survive a little bit of adversity. They don’t want to borrow various situations to resolve them, but instead have to force themselves to abuse themselves. Isn’t it stupid?

Is it true that in the so-called adversity, can you really find an opportunity to escape without any ease and practice with peace of mind?

It is true that in a world of high martial arts, everyone's cultivation is the most important yardstick, and people without strength have no status. However, constantly moving forward for the sake of strength seems to be moving forward rapidly, but in essence, they just keep setting up enemies at higher levels for themselves, and their own situation will not change at all.

After defeating the warriors, there are also monks, and there is a master of golden elixir on the head. After killing all the golden elixirs, the old monsters in the Nascent Soul jump out; after destroying these old immortals, I realized that the gods and Buddhas in the sky didn't like him.

In fact, there are gods who are three feet tall. When dealing with warriors, you should understand that this is a way out. If the author and great god have opened the protagonist template, any genius will die.

As early as thousands of years ago, Zhuangzi made this situation very clear: "With the limitlessness, it will be in danger." It means: Use limited life to pursue the infinite process, and there is a dead end. Later generations of Taoist practitioners pointed out a clear path with two lines of poetry:

Only when the heart is pure is the way, and retreating is actually moving forward.

Many times, retreating is actually moving forward. This is one of the basic concepts of Taoist philosophy.

Today, the trial of King Shangwu's ancient tomb was smashed into pieces in a variable. Yu Qingyue, who was in charge of this matter, could no longer see any way forward when he was dying, and could only hold his last breath, arrange his funeral for the prince, and save the most important seed.

But in Yan Li's opinion, there is still a lot to do with such an endgame.

There is nothing else, take a step back and the sky is wide open, that's all.

This step of retreat will cause all the damn people to die in this game.

And the way of death of many people will be decided in the itinerary of the strange carriage!

Of course, Gui Yun simply could not imagine these ideas. He agreed with Yan Li's statement that "has lost his identity as a sect leader". Compared with the legendary lord of Yun Sect, the witch clan in the southern border, the corpse demon of the Demon Sect, and even the Jade Emperor Temple far away in the Western Qin Dynasty, and the Jinxiu Palace in Yunping Mountain, are insignificant.

Driven by the power of the Yinfeng ghost, the carriage floated like a ghost and quickly moved south. After a cup of tea, it came to King Shangwu's ancient tomb formation, slowly circled around for a while, then turned to the northeast and galloped away.

"A good news, the corpse demon does not seem to have escaped. It seems that King Shangwu's ban on her is not just an outer formation." Yan Li said calmly, "If she goes far away and hides her from now on, it will be really troublesome to find her."

"Well. That corpse monster is very difficult to deal with." Gui Yun nodded, then pursed his lips and whispered, "If it weren't for the sharp decline of his mother's cultivation, there was no need to be afraid of her..."

"oh?"

"Mother... When she gave birth to me, she used many original cultivation levels to nurture the fetus in order to ensure her qualifications... So, when I was born, I had the cultivation level equivalent to innate marrow refining, and it was a sixth-level spiritual root..." Gui Yun explained intermittently.

"This is not your fault." Yan Li touched Gui Yun's head and said softly, "Actually, this matter was a mistake from beginning to end."

Upon hearing this, Gui Yun widened his eyes, looked at Yan Li, and asked in surprise: "How can he blame the sect leader?"

"Since this is not the situation I want to see, it is my mistake." Yan Li said that he had endless confidence in his tone, as if everything was in control. "I will not make the same mistake a second time."

"Zong... Where is Senior Brother Yan's mistake?" Gui Yun asked in a low voice.

"I underestimated King Shangwu's stupidity." Yan Li concluded.

"..." Gui Yun was silent for a while and did not respond - as Yun Sect's successor to the mountain guard, he would not be disrespectful to any real person in Yun Sect, and instead asked, "Then... where are we going now?"

"King Shangwu's formation was not completely destroyed, it was still in effect, and the aura of the corpse monster was also there. However, we wandered around the ancient tomb for a long time, but we did not hear any movement from the corpse monster. It can be seen that the ban she was subjected to was very strict. This revealed a lot of information." Yan Li began to analyze the situation.

"The ancient tomb is only ten miles away from that village. It can be seen that the yin energy has not been strong in the past. Otherwise, the lives of the villagers would have been affected long ago and would not live for a long time. So, where did King Shangwu's huge formation borrow the yin energy and ghost power as the origin?

"Also, the trial is limited to the participation of the juniors in the blood exchange stage. The corpse monster is too strong and cannot be used in the trial. Otherwise, all the disciples of Fengdu Ghost City were killed by the corpse monster, and it would be difficult for King Shangwu to explain. So, what purpose did he imprison the corpse monster here?

"The biggest possibility is that he uses the corpse demon as the core of the formation and collects its huge corpse energy to promote the formation. At the same time, he can also use the corpse demon as the last line of defense of the formation to be careful of accidents. However, King Shangwu did not expect that the formation would be acquired by the ghost cultivator in the southern border to obtain evil power with the method of blood sacrifice, breaking a gap from the periphery, and allowing the corpse demon to temporarily escape from the formation.

"You can make such a arrangement, King Shangwu is not stupid enough. It seems that this corpse demon must be an evil thing that the relatives do not recognize. After repelling you last night, you will definitely retaliate against the two evil cultivators in the southern border. Those two evil cultivators did not attack the formation again and tried to release the corpse demon, which is evidence."

In fact, there is still a very important point in this long speech:

Since King Shangwu used the corpse monster as the last line of defense, he was not afraid of someone attacking the formation from the outside. Yu Qingyue and Wangyun obviously didn't know this, and seeing the tragic situation of the blood sacrifice in the mountain village, he hurriedly fought with the evil cultivator, giving the bloodthirsty corpse monster the chance to backfire.

From this we can also see that there are many omissions in King Shangwu’s layout!

However, this passage cannot be said in front of Gui Yun anymore, otherwise it will inevitably lead to the idea of ​​Gui Yun having his mother and Senior Yu's death in vain.

After analyzing, Yan Li paused and gave Gui Yun some time to think about it before asking: "Learn all this, you might as well think about it, where will the two evil cultivators go?"

Yan Li has been guiding Guiyun to think for a long time. After knowing that the Guiyun clan has been loyal and watchful for thousands of years, he has done it even more meticulously.

Gui Yun thought about it very seriously, but still shook his head: "I can't think of it."

"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, "You have to think: after winning, the corpse monster suddenly backfires, how can they both escape unscathed?"

Gui Yun's eyes lit up, then darkened again, and said, "They were injured, but how do we know where they were healing?"

"You should first think: What means should the ghost cultivator use to heal his wounds?"

"It's best to use the Yin Evil Qi." Gui Yun said cautiously, "I wonder if they can find the Yin Feng Ghost Cave in the depths of the ancient zodiac..."

"Not found." Yan Li affirmed, "If they really found that Yinfeng Ghost Cave, King Shangwu had already heard the news that the evil evil was given the title of the head."

"It's true." Gui Yun nodded, then thought, "Where is there enough yin energy?"

Shanlan Guze is the old place of Yunzong. The lineage guarding the mountain has been cleaned up for a thousand years. Jianchuan City has three major sword gates in charge, so there will be no flaws left...

Gui Yun thought about the direction of the carriage and finally realized: "It's a mass grave twenty miles southwest of Jianchuan City!"

"I've answered correctly." Yan Li nodded.

The carriage passed through the clouds and mist lightly, and in half an hour, it had arrived at the periphery of the mass grave.

The mass grave that is usually extremely yin energy is even more evil today.

Surrounded by the fog, green ghost fires rushing, and even more, a cold wind circling among the dead trees around, making a cold wail.

Obviously, there is a ghost monk who practices methods to call Yin.

Yan Li's carriage was not afraid at all. He used the power of ghosts to drive straight through the ghost fire fog and headed straight to the center.

The sound insulation array in the car quietly opened, leaving no leaks in the conversation in the car.

"This ghost power breath is much weaker than the one in the Blood Sacrifice Mountain Village." Yan Liyao looked at the dark clouds ahead and inferred, "It seems that the old evil cultivator was seriously injured, and only the young ones here are here. Guiyun, one-on-one, how sure are you to kill him?"

Gui Yun's dark little eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Even if he has the formation to borrow power, I'm 50% sure!"

The demon spirit of Yun Sect guarding the mountain, why are you afraid of the crude demons and evil spirits of the heretics?

"Fifty percent? It's enough." Yan Li made a decision.

"Do it!"
