Chapter 548 Searching for Qu Jiuniang
Lingbao Tianzun's tone was solemn: "Bixia Yuanjun has disappeared inexplicably. He is also a member of the Immortal Trail. We will do our best to find and rescue him, and we will also ask two soul lanterns to trace his traces."
He put forward the task first, and then explained it in detail: "The disappearance of Bixia Yuanjun is strange. There are no traces of action in the 'First Family of Hanhai', and until not long ago, the other party did not have any hidden secrets or soul lamps." His behavior seems to indicate that Jiuniang is a member of our Xianji and has a soul lamp left behind."
The soul lamp is a treasure made according to secret methods using one's own essence, blood, soul breath, etc. The lamp will be extinguished when the body dies. Although the production is complex and the materials are precious, large sects and big families will place high hopes on them for their powerful appearance. The junior prepares one so that if something happens, he can know it immediately.
With the help of the soul lamp, you can use the magic method to trace the last traces, but it is more vague. The stronger the magic, the more accurate it will be, and there are many ways to interfere, mislead and deceive.
After Meng Qi became a formal member and obtained the "Eye of Yuanshi", he actually left the soul lantern in the fairy trail. Famous figures such as Dou Mu Yuanjun and Lingbao Tianzun had their own soul lanterns in their sects and families. , and each person can only light one soul lamp, so it was not left in the fairy trail.
"Maybe he is deliberately pretending not to know, laying a trap for us to seek rescue." Although Yan Wuwo is strong and proud, he is by no means a reckless and ignorant person.
Lingbao Tianzun nodded: "It is precisely because of this concern that the old Taoist, and because he has to see fellow Taoist Shou Jing first, so he will not pursue it himself for the time being, and let Su Mengxiang help you. He is good at the art of change and good at hiding. , concealment and exploration can effectively avoid falling into traps.”
"That's very good." Yanwuwo had no objection.
Lingbao Tianzun looked at Meng Qi: "This matter is dangerous, but the old Taoist can't give you the magic weapon or the object of support. I can only lend you this formation diagram, which is comparable to the peak attack of the outdoor scene, plus the reincarnation talisman, unless If you encounter the Dharmakaya directly, you should be able to escape with your life."
He took out a reincarnation talisman and a simple and ancient formation diagram. The formation diagram was divided into four colors, blue, white, red and black, each occupying one side. It looked like a child's doodles, but if you sense it carefully, there will be souls pierced by ten thousand swords. A thrilling sense of danger, as if the body and mind were divided into countless dust!
It couldn't be an imitation of the Immortal Killing Formation... Meng Qi took the formation and felt more and more how terrifying the sword intent contained in it was, and he couldn't help but make some guesses in his heart.
He felt a little heartbroken while guessing. This array map was lent to him and he had to return it after completing the mission, or use it because he was in danger. In short, it would not belong to him, it was just passed by.
This makes him, who is a bit obsessed with money, not heartbroken!
After putting away the formation diagram and the reincarnation talisman, Meng Qi remembered something and took out the mysterious sheepskin and rosary beads obtained from the ten sweethearts, and roughly described the source and his own guess.
Everyone's attention suddenly focused on Master Ming, the "Old Mother of Lishan". Her Dharma was superb, and she was many times better than the half-hearted monk Su Meng. They should be able to see the clues.
"Besides this one, is there another one without any power?" Master Ming looked at the sheepskin too intently.
Meng Qi nodded affirmatively: "On the 'Blessing Heavenly Official' Zhou Qiushan."
Master Ming thought deeply for a while and said: "It seems to be the symbol of the twelve causes and conditions. This vague rosary represents 'ignorance', that is, 'unclearness'. The beginning of troubles, that one should be the sign of 'old age and death'." "
"With the 'Twelve Causes and Destinations' rosary, could there be twelve places where the Buddha's light rises... I'm afraid they form a certain Buddhist boundary. The eye of the formation is where the 'Master Palm' is located, and the ten sweethearts of Huanxi Temple can see it. Which barrier has been reached, so we can judge in advance the next place where the Buddha's light will rise. Unfortunately, he is already dead, otherwise his opponents would probably have guessed..." Master Ming seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be answering everyone's questions.
Meng Qi asked expectantly: "Master, can you tell which barrier it is?"
Master Ming too shook his head: "Buddhism has many enchantments, and it has experienced demon chaos and demon Buddha chaos, and a lot of it has been lost. The poor nun couldn't figure out the clues for a while."
She suddenly stood up and whispered the Buddha's name: "I'm a poor nun, go and try to see if you can identify the Six Paths."
The figure disappeared with a whoosh, and came back not long after, without any look of joy.
Meng Qi was not surprised at all by this result. Considering the nature of profiteers in the Six Paths and the general outline of the "Tathagata Divine Palm", it would be strange not to receive tens of thousands of good deeds and specific tasks!
"Since Ten Hearts Sweetheart has figured out which barrier it is, other monks from Huanxi Temple may also be able to do it. We just need to catch a few..." Meng Qi said in a deep voice, throwing out the idea that he had already considered.
He didn't have the slightest bit of tolerance to deal with such a force that was facing the wind and stinking hundreds of miles away. Hum, they were living in this world, which was a great disrespect to the women of the world!
"Okay." Lingbao Tianzun agreed without hesitation.
…………
There were blowing sand, and there was no human habitation for hundreds of miles in the vast sea. A half-built Buddhist temple was filled with dust.
Two monks were busy building walls with Gobi rocks. One was wearing gray robes and the other was wearing white clothes. Although they were in the painful wind and sand, they were both fresh and clean, especially the latter, who felt spotless.
"Brother Hongneng, is this your last Buddhist temple?" The monk in white flicked his hand, and the rock fragments swished down and turned into large bricks.
He was less than twenty, a handsome young monk, a bit dull, but always smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.
Monk Hongneng from Lanke Temple laughed and said: "The Buddhist temple is in my heart and will never be completed. After returning to the temple, the poor monk has to make great vows in front of the Buddha."
Looking at the ignorant eyes of the little monk in white, Hongneng did not continue the topic and said instead: "Junior brother Zhenhui, why did you enter the vast sea again? This place has been very dangerous recently."
Zhenhui smiled and said: "Senior brother asked me to go down the mountain and find him to eat and drink, and travel together in the world, but he is always running around, and recently arrived in Hanhai, so I traveled here."
He did not call himself a poor monk and had no sense of being a monk.
Having said this, Zhenhui scratched his bald head: "I also heard that the area around Yuhai Tanhan is very dangerous, so I plan to stay with you, Senior Brother Hongneng, until the matter is settled before I go to Senior Brother."
He looked at the flying sand and stones in the mid-air and thought to himself: "I wonder if it will be like the story my senior brother told me, where the palm of the Tathagata fell directly from the sky and fell into my arms..."
After thinking for a while with bright eyes, Zhenhui put the matter behind her and continued to help Hongneng build the Buddhist temple.
…………
The wind and sand were rolling, making it easy to hide. Meng Qi and Yan Wuwo were floating inside.
"Flying Yaksha" Yan Wuwo was not wearing a mask, revealing a strange face that was both gray and dark red. He held a glass lamp in his hand, with flames jumping inside, exuding the aura of Qu Jiuniang's soul.
After making some calculations using the "Tai Yi Divine Number", Yan Wuwo changed direction and flew toward the sea of fish and Tanhan.
Meng Qi followed closely behind without saying a word.
After flying for more than half an hour, Yan Wuwo stopped on the desolate Gobi between Tanhan and Yuhai, and said in a deep voice: "It's probably in this area, and we can't accurately determine the location. Let's search for strange places separately. If we find anything, we won't do it first." Let’s do some research and we’ll meet here in an hour.”
Meng Qi nodded lightly, changed his body, changed his clothes, and saw an unfamiliar scene again. He put away all his swords, and flew with bare hands over the Gobi with yellow sand and many gray and black gravels. From time to time, he met strong men who were searching for clues about the Tathagata Palm. , but no abnormalities were found.
An hour later, Meng Qi and Yan Wuwo met at the agreed place.
"I found something abnormal in the area where Jiuniang's aura is the strongest." Before Meng Qi could speak, Yan Wuwo said straightforwardly.
"What's abnormal?" Meng Qi was stunned.
Yan Wuwo turned around and flew to lead the way, and secretly transmitted the message: "I found a very hidden illusory formation, covering a ravine going down. If I hadn't been extremely sensitive to the feeling of wet water after I mastered the technique, it would have been difficult to detect it. "
The ravines in the vast sea are often connected to underground rivers. Meng Qi once relied on them to escape An Guoxie's pursuit, but unfortunately his success fell short.
"Now that there are so many outdoor scenes here, it's normal for someone to set up a magic array to explore the underground river." Meng Qi said casually.
Yanwuwo said briefly and forcefully: "That is not the place where the Buddha's light rises."
This is a bit abnormal, unless it is a monk from Huanxi Temple... Meng Qi calmed down and flew to the edge of the illusory array with Yan Wuwo. There were gravel all over and there was no ravine at all.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, fully opened his spiritual senses, and blended with the energy of heaven and earth. The inner heaven and earth subtly affected the outer world.
Under this influence, the outer world is changing insignificantly, and it seems to be a little gloomier, but some places have not changed at all.
It is indeed a phantom formation!
Meng Qi communicated with Yan Wuwo for a few words, and in order not to alert the enemy or step into a trap, he prepared to conduct the investigation himself first.
The light moved slightly, and the laws of heaven and earth connected. Meng Qi's figure disappeared, and a plump gerbil appeared on the ground.
The gerbil dug directly down, a foot deep, and then headed into the ravine.
The further he drilled, the stronger the sense of moisture became. After a quarter of an hour, Meng Qi suddenly felt his body relax. It turned out that it had penetrated, and the sound of gurgling water echoed forever in the open and closed environment.
He held the rock wall, smelled the scent, and looked for traces. It didn't take long before he found that there were traces of life in several places.
Meng Qi walked over quietly, becoming more and more careful as he walked, fearing that the other party would not even let go of a gerbil, or that a master-level figure would be on full alert.
After carefully jumping over several underground rocks, Meng Qi suddenly stopped because he felt Qu Jiuniang's aura!
Not daring to go any closer, Meng Qi looked around, suddenly walked up the rock, and then looked back sideways.
I saw two men and one woman sitting on the edge of the underground river, where the water washed away from time to time. The woman was wearing a black dress, with a delicate appearance and a listless spirit. It was Qu Jiuniang!
The two men, one with a red face, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and the other with a dark face and a protruding forehead, were both strangers to Meng Qi, but their auras were undoubtedly on location, because they caused changes in the surrounding world!
"Which force's exterior is this?"
"How come I've never seen it before?"
"Why arrest Qu Jiuniang?"
Many questions arose, and Meng Qi clung to the rock wall tightly, planning to wait and see for a while.
The red-faced man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks seemed unable to sit still. He stood up and walked back and forth from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
While observing, Meng Qi glanced at Qu Jiuniang, and his heart was suddenly shocked when he discovered a detail that he had just ignored.
Qu Jiuniang had no injuries on her body. Apart from being mentally depressed, she showed no signs of injury!
Combined with the fact that there were no signs of fighting in Hanhai's first home, Meng Qi suddenly felt that the air around him had become dangerous!
How powerful is it to be able to capture a fourth-level master so easily?
