Chapter 408 – The only way forward
Regardless of the circumstances, it would be inconceivable to see Gu Qianye sitting there embroidering. She could split a large stone, pull out a weeping willow, and flip Du Shoushou over and over again seventy to eighty times without tiring. But if she was embroidering, there were only two possibilities. First, she was embroidering for An Zheng. Second, she was under control.
In one breath, An Zheng and the others rushed to the outskirts of Jiang-Nan town. Seeing Gu Qianye just sat there like that, embroidering with needle and thread in his hand. Her face was filled with incomparable fear, and even though her eyes were looking at An Zheng and the others, her body was no longer under her control. Her hands moved nimbly and delicately, and the pattern was quickly sketched out.
Just as Du Shoushou was about to rush over and get stopped by An Zheng, he raised his hand and summoned his Heaven Eyes.
“Let’s take a look!”
Following An Zheng’s command, the Heaven’s Eye floated up, and a burst of red light emitted from the Heaven’s Eye, sweeping across the small courtyard.
[Strange Barrier seems to be formed by a lot of turbulent air currents. The building of the house, in turn, forms some sort of wind tunnel, bringing these streams of air back together into a cycle. If the building is destroyed, the resulting flow of air will become violent.]
Qin Mie walked to An Zheng’s side and looked: “So it’s like that, it’s really something that looks like a strange barrier. However, that Spirit Formation is very special because it is formed by nature. You are unable to determine its nature. ”
An Zheng asked: “If I teleport in, will it affect me?”
Qin Mie nodded his head, “Of course I will, because the barrier is made up of all sorts of chaotic airflows. Did you see your friend move? It’s like endless embroidery, but it’s the most stable movement. If she stops right now or changes her posture, she’s definitely going to die. ”
An Zheng asked. “So you’re saying, unless it’s something that doesn’t affect the airflow, then we can go in and save her?”
Qin Mie said: “You are half right, anything that does not affect the flow of air can of course be entered. Even my rune is not enough because it is most sensitive to changes in Qi. ”
An Zheng was silent for a long time: “Then she’s going to keep embroidering like that?”
Qin Mie: “Perhaps this is the scariest part of this secret realm … Every room devours a living thing, either human or otherwise. Each room is filled with a small enchantment. Afteerson is fused with the enchantment, they would follow a strange pattern and maintain it for a period of time. It might not end until that person is dead. ”
“At first I suspected it was man-made, but now I understand how terrible nature is. This secret plane had existed for a long time. Even if the airflow automatically circulated, it would eventually dry up. And when your friend sits there, it’s likub. Her embroidery movements just so happen to make the air flow positive again. ”
Du Shoushou did not move, but understood. “Is this the secret realm’s self-help?”
Qin Mie nodded his head, “That is true. But to be exact, it is not the secret realm saving itself, but a small room within it. Perhaps soon, you and I will both be sucked in and sewed in another room, sitting in the window. Of course, if one is lucky, they might be able to see someone who’s opposite of them. They would also be able to communicate through their eyes, because once they open their mouth to speak, it would damage the airflow.
An Zheng’s frown was growing deeper and deeper. He had to save Gu Qianye, no matter what.
“Now I want to know one thing.”
An Zheng looked at Gu Qianye and Gu Qianye looked at him, their eyes filled with fear and help.
“Why is it Xiao Yezi?”
An Zheng said: “Seems like any sudden situation is not necessarily a coincidence, why was Xiao Yezi sucked in? Is there something about her that caused this barrier to suddenly activate? ”
“What can it be?”
Fatty paced back and forth anxiously. “This place is too f * cking evil. If I knew earlier, I wouldn’t have come here.”
An Zheng said: “Blame me, if only I did not call you out from the Heaven Defying Seal.”
Du Shoushou said: “Now is not the time to blame yourself, who would have thought that this crappy place is so strange.”
He shouted at Gu Qianye, “Xiao Yezi, don’t move or speak, we will definitely think of a way to save you.”
An Zheng said, “Xiao Yezi can teleport out with a scroll on her body, but she can’t move it at all right now, so she can’t take the scroll out. You need something that’s really invisible to get in... “However, any minute changes to the airflow could cause damage to Xiao Yezi.”
He bit his lip, which was split open.
Qin Mie remained silent for a very long time, before his eyes started to shine more brightly. He did not know Gu Qianye, nor did he think that he could care about this girl.
“Interesting.”
He paced back and forth a few steps. “It seems that there is another way. Your friend is at the hub of the airflow. The reason why the barrier has sucked her in is because her vitality is higher than others? ”
Life force?
An Zheng’s mind suddenly lit up: It’s not that my chance of survival is higher than others, but rather my life force!
“Popularity?”
Qin Mie was slightly stunned for a moment before nodding his head, “That’s right, she definitely has something extraordinary on her body. And the breath of the person on this thing is heavier than she is, heavier than all of us combined. That’s why this small world sucked her in. It’s because the barrier has detected that she may have existed for even longer than the others. ”
Du Shoushou: “What the f * ck does that mean?!”
An Zheng explained: “Xiao Yezi has the bones of a saint, the reputation of a saint is too strong. And the evil part of this barrier was that it knew that it was about to dissipate, so it had to find someone who could control the flow of the gas to act as the hub. Xiao Yezi’s popularity was the greatest, so she was sucked in. It was said that the barrier had its eyes on Xiao Yezi, rather, it was on the bone of a saint she had brought with her. Even if Xiao Yezi is no longer around, the Sage Bone will continue to stay there and drive the airflow. If Xiao Yezi does not find a way, she will just sit there and repeat that terrifying action. ”
Du Shoushou said, “But if Xiao Yezi is not around, the bones of saints would not do it themselves.”
An Zheng: “This barrier is not really alive. It is unable to determine whether that person is alive or dead, and only chose the best one. ”
Qin Mie: “You little guys really make people look at you in a new light, she actually has the Ancient Sacred Bone on her?”
An Zheng nodded: “Yes.”
Qin Mie said: “Then it’s not like there’s no other way, as long as it left behind the bones of saints, they would have close ties with the Ancient Sage. Otherwise, even the bones of saints would be arrogant, how could they be so easily controlled by others. “Either it’s related to someone, or it’s controlled by some evil method. Otherwise, the bones of saints will never become magic tools in the hands of others.”
“If your friend has any direct contact with the bones of her saints, that would be for the best. Let her use the power of her will to throw out the Sage Bone, the popularity of the Sage Bone is higher than her, the barrier will abandon her and absorb the Sage Bone inside. ”
“However, the bone can’t do that, so once the barrier’s flow stops, it will disappear.”
An Zheng: “How confident are you?”
Qin Mie: “Not even a single point, I was just guessing.”
Du Shoushou said: “This matter is related to Xiao Yezi’s life and death, we must get her permission. However, Xiao Yezi can’t speak right now, and can’t even blink. What should I do? ”
An Zheng: “The key point is whether or not the barrier will throw out Xiao Yezi. If Xiao Yezi threw out the Holy Bone, the barrier will feel that she has lost its effect and will directly …”
Qin Mie: “She’s not my friend, this depends on your choice.”
An Zheng looked at Gu Qianye and said, “I have found a way to save you now, but it’s not too safe. Don’t worry, as long as you maintain this posture, there won’t be any danger for the time being. We’ll try to find other, safer ways, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll use the one we’re thinking of now. ”
The expression in Gu Qianye’s eyes changed, obviously agreeing with An Zheng’s words.
An Zheng stood there and rubbed his forehead to calm himself down. What Qin Mie said was indeed feasible, but the barrier was nouman. It did not have intelligence, and did not know how to replace it. The boundary felt that the bones of saints were better than the little leaf. After so long, they would definitely abandon the little leaf. But what was this abandonment?
Would it really be thrown out, or would it disappear?
An Zheng rubbed his forehead until it started to turn red, he was so anxious that his brain seemed to explode, as if there was some ferocious beast knocking back and forth, and he felt waves of pain.
“Got it!”
After more than ten minutes had passed, An Zheng’s complexion became slightly better. “I’ve thought of a way … I’ve been thinking that perhaps replacement is the only way, because we can’t possibly save Xiao Yezi. It was precisely because of this that he went into the wrong place. Actually... We can save Xiao Yezi. ”
An Zheng looked at Du Shoushou and Qu Liuxi: “You two stay far away from him.”
Du Shoushou said anxiously: “What is it?!”
An Zheng, “Tranquil Lotus Heart Method... Previously, Mr. Huo taught us the Tranquil Lotus mental cultivation method to deal with the Nineteen Demons. However, because we have too few people, we were unable to form the complete Tranquil Lotus Seal, so we didn’t use it at all. However, when we were cultivating together, we were already able to move on to other things. ”
Du Shoushou said, “But the thing that we shifted to each other was the Tranquil Lotus that controlled each other.”
Qu Liuxi said witale face: “Du Shoushou is right, we are only able to control each other’s Tranquil Lotus, not our bodies.”
An Zheng, “The power of the Silent Lotus Heart Technique lies in the fact that once you have successfully cultivated it, the five of us can form an array formation and the five of them can move about freely in the array formation while using the other people’s Tranquil Lotus. We were able to use someone else’s Jinglian [Jing’lian] as we wished, but we weren’t able to move people around as well. But that’s all of you. ”
An Zheng said: “My cultivation realm is higher than you, and I have more experience to deal with dangers than you. So the two of you must leave and go far enough away. I will get Xiao Yezi to release her own Tranquil Lotus and then we can form a smaller Tranquil Lotus Seal. I can pull her out from within the seal! ”
Qu Liuxi held An Zheng’s hand: “How confident are you?”
An Zheng: “Believe me, is your man that unreliable?”
Qu Liuxi: “But I keep having the feeling that you’re lying.”
An Zheng raised his hand and rubbed it on Qu Liuxi’s forehead, messing up her bangs: “I said, if I can do it, then I can. You guys can back off. It won’t be long before we leave this place. “Obediently go to the distance and wait for me. Just relax.”
Qu Liuxi looked at An Zheng and it seemed as if she could read his heart in an instant.
Afterwards, she silently retreated, her figure appearing so lonely.
Du Shoushou patted An Zheng’s shoulder, “fat grandpa believes in you! Bring Xiao Yezi out! ”
An Zheng: “Quickly go, quickly go. If Xiao Yezi comes out and pulls you in, wouldn’t I have to save you again? “Other than Xiao Yezi, you might be the most popular …”
Du Shoushou punched An Zheng, then left while protecting Qu Liuxi.
An Zheng looked at Qin Mie: “You should also go.”
Qin Mie nodded his head, “I never intended to die with you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already far away.
An Zheng shouted towards Gu Qianye, and then shouted, “I will count to three, then display the Tranquil Lotus Heart Sutra and release your petals. I will bring you out, believe me! ”
Gu Qianye’s eyeballs moved, showing that she understood.
“One!”
“Two!”
“Three!”
Two lotus petals appeared.
Gu Qianye suddenly appeared outside the room, and was instantly pulled by a wave of energy. It was something that An Zheng and Qin Mie had agreed to, which allowed him to teleport more than 1000 meters away with the runes.
An Zheng was sitting in that room, embroidering with a strange movement.
However, there was not a single trace of regret in his eyes.
