Yu Hongchen

Everyone returned to the cold cave again.The chill in the cave was even worse than the last time I came here.I only stayed for a while before, so I didn't have time to pay more attention, and I didn't discover many details.Now that the time has changed, and the turn of the century has passed, the light in the cave is a little darker, and water droplets seep from the stone wall, with the faint sound of sea water, and even echoes of mysterious and strange sounds.Shang Lixing visited for a while, pondered for a while, then clapped his hands and smiled, "I see."

Ji Qing asked from the side: "What did the sect master see?"

But Shang Lixing said to the black-robed man beside him: "Didn't you mock me earlier for not being able to see these little tricks, but now I see it, what do you say?"

The man in black robe seemed to be extremely disgusted with his approach, seeing him approaching, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, and said coldly: "What do you see?"

Shang Lixing smiled slightly and said, "It's not a cover-up, nor is it the operation of a magic circle, but the ghosts of the monsters in the sea."

Ji Qing frowned, puzzled and asked: "Monsters in the sea?"

"What monster in the sea?" All the casual cultivators were also puzzled.

Shang Lixing only looked at the man in black, and asked, "Is that right?"

The man in black was silent for a while, then Fang said: "You are smart."

Shang Lixing smiled, and said to the crowd: "Every time at the turn of the [-], the monsters in the sea gather in groups, hunt and return, and return to their habitats. At this time, as the animals move, the sea is undercurrents, Breaking a hole in the originally solid stone wall, the demons entered the Thousand Shadows Wall, and then sneaked into the Nanling Continent."

The casual cultivators were puzzled: "But how can the monsters swimming in the sea generate such a huge momentum?"

Shang Lixing smiled lightly, and said: "Everyone knows that a thousand feet below the sea forms a world of its own, and the inhabitants are all gigantic, whose movement can overturn the sea water. How can its power to overthrow rivers and seas be compared to those ordinary monsters we see with our own eyesight?" Can it be done?"

All the casual cultivators bowed their heads in thought when they heard this.Shang Lixing said again: "In addition to the undercurrent fluctuations and eddies under the sea, the stone walls hidden in the deep sea are squeezed by the sea water, so it is not as calm as it looks on the surface. With the force of the churning and tumbling of the sea, he sneaked into the cold cave, entered the South Ridge, and assassinated mortals." His brows were stretched, his eyes were smiling calmly, and he was looking at the man in black: "Am I guessing right?"

The man in black said coldly: "It's a pity that your cleverness is misunderstood by your cleverness. You claim to be extremely clever, but you are preconceived, blinded by your own eyes, and attribute all abnormalities here to the operation of the magic circle."

Shang Lixing smiled and said: "When did I claim to be extremely smart? You don't want to talk nonsense." He was extremely happy because he guessed the truth, and he didn't care about the black-robed man's harsh words, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth , seeing Qi Huan glaring coldly at the side.

Seeing him laughing at Yan Yan and talking with the black robed man, everyone felt puzzled.

The man in black sneered: "You can see what's so strange about these, if you can't see through, then it's really a waste of the title of the world's top casual cultivator."

Shang Lixing's eyes flashed, and he said clearly: "It seems that you still recognize my ability."

The man in black broke free from his restraint, took two steps forward, then turned his head, and said bluntly, "So what if you have great abilities? Isn't it because you are helpless against this entrance!"

After hearing this, Shang Lixing didn't get angry, and just sighed: "Yes, we practitioners always say that people are intelligent and intelligent, and that man can conquer the sky, but we don't know that the power of nature is the most terrifying power in this world."

Qu Kongqing listened to it, raised his eyebrows, and praised: "The words of the master of Shangmen have confirmed the supreme and profound truth of the 'harmony between man and nature', really insightful."

Qi Huan, who was following behind, sneered contemptuously, scolded Qu Kongqing and said, "Sweet words!" His voice was lowered, and no one heard what he was saying, only Ji Qing looked back at him, then turned his head again, After sweeping the stone wall of the cold cave, he frowned and said, "Can this entrance only be opened from the outside?"

Shang Lixing said: "That's not necessarily true. Since the demons can close the cave again after entering and leaving, it can be seen that we have mastered the secret of opening and closing the entrance. We only need to ask a demon to find out the truth." As soon as the words fell, he waved his long arm and pulled back the man in black who had gone a few steps away.

The black-robed man was used to being hugged, pulled, and restrained by him, and when he suddenly pulled him over, although his chest was heaving violently with anger, he didn't swear much, and just gently broke him free, and said calmly: "Sect Master Shang has something to do." Please tell me, don't talk about it."

When Shang Lixing saw that he was not fighting, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but it only lasted for a moment, then cheered up again, with a smile on his face, and said: "It's time to prove your worth."

The man in black returned quickly: "Why should I help you?"

Shang Lixing said in a low voice: "I know your position, and I also know that you must have some unknown difficulties to do this. But why do you—"

"Why what?" the man in black interrupted him impatiently.

Shang Lixing's face was gentle, and he said in an almost mournful tone: "Why do you want to make trouble with us?"

The man in black said in a gloomy voice, "Master Shang is too worried. I didn't make things difficult for you."

Shang Lixing looked at him, and his voice softened a bit: "Oh, you just lured us here on purpose, it turned out that you had bad intentions. You wanted to trick us here, and at the turn of the century, the magic soldiers broke in through the hole , wiped us all out—"

"You're wrong." The man in black interrupted again.

Shang Lixing said in astonishment, "What?"

The black-robed man paused every word: "I don't want the demons to kill you, but," his tone changed, suddenly revealing a murderous intent, he said sternly: "Let you kill each other!"

Shang Lixing was taken aback for a moment: "You—"

The man in black continued: "Don't you guys want to see the entrance? Then I'll let you have a look." He suddenly stepped forward ten steps, stopped in front of a half-person-high stone pillar, and then turned his palms towards the front of the stone pillar. A silver-white stone slab on the ground waved a palm, followed by a bang, and the stone pillar moved in response.Everyone's eyes flickered, seeing a bright white film where the stone pillar disappeared, shimmering and rippling along with the noise of the sea.

The entrance of the Demon Race finally fully showed its whole picture, and it looked quite wide, which could accommodate about a dozen people to enter and exit.

Shang Lixing admired from the side: "The dust-free water film, what a delicate structure." It turned out that the demons entered Nanling from here, and in order to prevent the seawater from pouring into the thousand-fold screen wall and filling the passage, they took great pains to prevent them from being trapped by monsters in the sea. A dust-free water film is set behind the broken stone wall holes to block sea water.After the demons entered the cold cave through the holes and the dust-free water film, the holes gradually closed as the sea water fluctuated, and the monsters in the sea returned at the turn of the next day, causing the sea tide to surge, and the holes were knocked open by sea beasts again, and so on. , giving the demons a chance to sneak into Nanling and deceive others.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, but some monks were puzzled: "The demons created this entrance with painstaking efforts, why didn't they just order the sea beast to open the entire cold cave, wouldn't it be more clean and tidy?"

Shang Lixing murmured: "The sea beasts are so powerful that even the demons cannot control them. Presumably they also accidentally learned that there is an entrance hidden here, which can be used to sneak into the secret cave of Nanling."

The casual cultivators couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard his tone of conviction, but Shang Lixing suddenly said, "That's not right..."

Seeing that he suddenly changed his tone, everyone was puzzled, and asked again: "Master, what's wrong?"

Shang Lixing was staring at the Lichen water film in front of him, frowned and said, "If the demons know this place and take advantage of the loopholes in the sea, how would they know about it?"

Qu Kongqing, who was leaning on the side, also let out an "ah", and said in surprise: "Yes, how did they know that they could enter the Thousand Shadow Wall when they dived into the sea and came to the place where the sea beast crashed? Moreover, since when did the sea beast collide? Stone wall? Why didn't seawater seep in before the demons set up the dust-free water film?"

At this time, He Suowu who was beside him suddenly said: "It is the guidance of someone with a heart." He is arrogant and usually speaks little, but when he speaks, he has the strength of more than a thousand gold.As soon as the voice fell, the whole cold cave suddenly fell silent.

"That's right, you're right," Shang Lixing thought for a while, and continued, "It seems that there are people with supernatural powers among the demons who have mastered the method of driving sea beasts. The sea beasts hitting the stone wall are not spontaneous behaviors, but Manipulated by someone with a heart, the time is also after the demons set up the dust-free water film."

Ji Qing still didn't understand: "But since the demons have mastered the method of driving sea beasts, why do they let sea beasts only open the entrance once a day? In this way, the efficiency is too low."

Shang Lixing said slightly: "Perhaps the people who are secretly manipulating the demons want to proceed step by step." Not wanting to get entangled here, he also stepped forward and stood in front of the water film, standing side by side with the man in black, Slightly nodded and said: "It seems that after leaving the dust-free water film, the entrance is outside."

The man in black just listened to them talking for a while, and kept silent for a long time. At this time, he spoke again: "Look at the movement on the surface of the water film. The entrance outside has not been completely closed. Why don't you take a look, Master Shang?"

Shang Lixing turned his head to look at him, frowned slightly, and said, "Are you encouraging me to go?"

The black-robed man smiled "hoho" and said, "Isn't it very interesting to prove with my own eyes that my guess is true?"

Shang Lixing smiled slightly, "But I'm not interested."

The black-robed man was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to ask me to take action. You have already seen where the entrance is, why didn't you say it?"

Shang Lixing tilted his head to look at him: "What if I just want to confirm something?"

"What's the matter—" the black-robed man had just finished speaking, when the sound of sea beasts roaring suddenly came from outside, the water film fluctuated violently, and the sea water hit it with puffing noises, he said: "The entrance outside is about to be closed. "

Shang Lixing also said: "Yes, we should also close it." Now that he understood the crux of the problem, Shang Lixing thought about sealing the entrance of the cave, so as not to allow the demons to come in and out.He fluttered his wide sleeves, purging his true energy, and wanted to completely seal the entrance behind the stone pillar with a magic circle, when suddenly there was a rustling sound, and a small cloth pouch fell from his arms.The cloth pouch fell to the ground and was stained with dust on the ground. It was the Qiankun pouch that contained thousands of demon corpses.With a thought, Shang Lixing withdrew his true energy, picked up the cloth bag on the ground, and said, "You're right, I still have to go and have a look, by the way," he shook the cloth bag in his hand, smiling wickedly : "Go and send a good gift to the friends and neighbors on the other side."

The man in black immediately said sarcastically: "Master Shang is worthy of being the leader of casual cultivators in the world. He really thinks what ordinary people dare not think, and does what ordinary people dare not do."

Shang Lixing grinned: "Your Excellency is absurd."

Everyone in Ji Qing heard Shang Lixing's few words, and there was another burst of discussion.

A monk behind said: "Be careful of fraud."

Another monk said: "It's better to send someone to test it first."

Another person said: "Are you going?"

Hearing this, the man shook his head vigorously: "No, no, I don't know how to swim, so I dare not swim."

Shang Lixing waved his sleeves and said to everyone: "I'll go. You wait here for me."

All the casual cultivators present shook their heads again: "No, no, how can we let the sect master personally take risks."

He Suowu took a step forward and said, "Brother, let me go."

Shang Lixing said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll come as soon as I go, no matter what I realize, keep this place safe."

He Suowu changed his words cleverly: "Don't worry, the sect master."

Shang Lixing laughed for a while, then turned around and got into the water film in front of him, the brilliance flashed, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

The casual cultivators had nothing to do and relaxed for a while. Ji Qing and the others had always trusted Shang Lixing and did not express too much worry. Qi Huan had been following the crowd at the end. At this time, he quietly got out of the crowd. Suddenly, he slapped out a palm, and quickly attacked the man in black robe standing motionless in front of the water film!
