Taiping Inn

Because "Xuandu Zifu" is a cave heaven in its own world, it is impossible to break the boundary between Yin and Yang, and it is impossible to open the "Yin and Yang Gate", so it can only fly or run.

After Wu Yang brought Li Xuandu into the Middle Earth, the surrounding scenery changed again. There were no tall ferns everywhere, and no ice and snow. Everything was the same as the outside world. The land was flat, with mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and birds and beasts. It was really like a paradise on earth.

Wu Yang broke up with the other five great witches only in the past year. She had lived here for many years, so she was very familiar with this place. Although there were traps carefully arranged by Wu Peng here, most of them had been broken by her during the last conflict, and they could not be restored in a short time, so Wu Yang and Li Xuandu quickly came to the center of the Middle Earth.

This place is a valley, but at the entrance of the valley, there are cliffs on both sides. Looking up at the sky, there is only a line. There is a stream flowing between the lines. The mountains are green and the water is blue. The scenery is extremely quiet, but it is silent and dangerous.

Wu Yang didn't care at all. He walked up the stream. On both sides of the stream, there were peach trees planted everywhere. There were no other trees in the middle. The grass was fresh and the fallen petals were colorful.

Li Xuandu remembered an allusion. Kuafu chased the sun and threw his cane before he died. It turned into Denglin, which is a peach forest. For Taoists, peach wood is used to ward off evil spirits and destroy evil spirits. Many ghost-exorcising instruments are made of peach wood. I just don't know what the meaning of peach forest is in the witchcraft allusions.

When you reach the end of the stream, it is a mountain wall. A passage was dug out on the mountain wall by manpower. Wu Yang led Li Xuandu into the valley, which was like a city gate, very wide, and the rock wall was very smooth. After walking about a hundred feet, the view suddenly opened up. The valley was full of lush green grass and flowers, and the scenery was beautiful. It was a rare place of beautiful scenery. As they walked, they saw cranes and white deer on the roadside, all of which were not startled by people. In the distance, the land was flat and there were bamboo forests, and a few stilt houses could be vaguely seen in it.

Wu Yang stopped and pointed to the house in the distance and said, "This is where we live."

Li Xuandu asked, "Is the cardinal of the formation also here?"

Wu Yang nodded, "The cardinal of the formation is in the Middle Earth region, our medicine garden is in the East Wood region, and the alchemy furnace is in the South Fire region."

Li Xuandu asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the Pearl Tree, the Jade Tree, the Qi Tree, and the Immortal Tree are all in the Middle Earth region?"

Wu Yang said, "In addition to the main ingredients, the refining of the elixir of immortality also requires We need auxiliary materials. We made preparations before coming here. We brought seeds with us and cultivated medicinal herbs in the Dongmu area. Wu Fan is responsible for this matter. "

Li Xuandu recalled the scene when Wu Yang fought five people alone and asked, "Is it the great witch who tied you with vines?"

"It's her." Wu Yang said, "She is best at controlling the power of plants and trees, so she is naturally suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs."

Li Xuandu probably understood that the five great witches corresponded to the power of the five elements respectively, and only Wu Yang was not among the ten witches of Lingshan, so he was an exception.

Wu Yang walked along the path in the valley to the stilt houses. On the way, he reached out and touched the heads of the white deer and cranes from time to time. The white deer raised here obviously recognized Wu Yang and did not dodge. Instead, they took the initiative to come up and were very intimate.

However, Li Xuandu did not have this honor. Although those cranes and white deer were not afraid of him, they were not close to him either. They kept a distance that was not far or close.

Wu Yang came to a stilt house, but instead of climbing the ladder to enter the house, he went to the bottom of the house and fumbled for a while, and a hole appeared on the ground.

Li Xuandu was speechless. He thought that the ancient witches must have some mysterious means to set up the formation, which was eye-opening, but he never expected that it was such a down-to-earth style, not much different from ordinary people in the world.

However, Li Xuandu thought again, this is reasonable. For thousands of years, there have only been the six enlightened witches and others here. The wizards who came here with them were originally their subordinates, and they have died one after another over the past thousands of years. Lu Wushen could not set foot here, so there was no need to hide and guard deliberately, otherwise it would be troublesome for himself.

After Wu Yang found the entrance, he waved to Li Xuandu, motioning him to come over. Li Xuandu came to the entrance of the cave, and saw that the entrance was actually not small, and it was large enough for three people to walk side by side. Inside was a stone staircase that sloped downward. After the two entered, Li Xuandu found that there were stone walls on both sides. These witches even carved various murals on the stone walls. Li Xuandu took a rough look and found that they were probably about the story of the six enlightened witches, because the images on them were all women, curing diseases and saving people. However, Li Xuandu soon realized that these pictures were not decorations, but there was indeed an unknown true energy mechanism, just like the talismans of Taoism.

The two walked down the stone steps and came to a spacious underground hall. There were ten huge braziers burning with blazing flames around the hall, which illuminated the hall as bright as day. In the center of the hall was a huge altar. The altar was only about ten feet high, but it gave people a feeling of infinite size. The ancient and vicissitudes of life came to Li Xuandu's face, which made his heart palpitate and he couldn't help himself.

There are ten statues around the altar, none of which are human-shaped, some with human faces and bird bodies, some with human bodies and animal heads, some with human bodies and snake heads, some with human bodies and snake tails, and some with human bodies and bird faces. Li Xuandu immediately remembered that in the "narration" of the witch minister, this was the Dharmakaya form of the great witches, and this form had been revealed when the Six Enlightened Witches fought against the God Luwu. However, Wu Yang was an exception, and her Dharmakaya seemed to have three heads and six arms, which was completely different from the other five great witches.

When Wu Yang saw that Li Xuan was looking at the ten statues, he took the initiative to explain: "This is the statue of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, which corresponds to the Yin and Yang Five Elements."

The five elements of the heavenly stems are divided into yin and yang, namely: Jia wood, Yi wood, Bing fire, Ding fire, Wu earth, Ji earth, Geng metal, Xin metal, Ren water, and Gui water. Among them, Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, Ren is Yang, Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, Gui is Yin.

Of course, Li Xuan understood this. With his eyesight, he could also see that these statues and the murals I just saw contain extremely powerful power. It can be seen that this place is indeed the core of the formation. But Li Xuan was a little confused. According to what Wu Yang said before, Wu Peng was a meticulous person. How could he be unprepared in such an important place? Is he really careless?

However, Wu Yang's words interrupted Li Xuandu's thoughts, "There is a trap set by Wu Peng on this altar, don't act rashly."

Li Xuandu's face froze, nodded, then looked around, and looked around. It doesn't matter when it seems that it's a lot of interesting things have been discovered. Many bookshelfs have been carved out on the walls around the hall, and various tortoise shells, animal skins, copper plates, stone slabs, silk and linen are placed on the bookshelf.

This is the ancient book.

Li Xuandu asked casually: "Why don't you have a statue?"

Wu Yang snorted lightly, without answering, but instead used his magical powers to break the various restrictions on the altar.

Li Xuandu simply came to the bookshelf, took a piece of silk cloth, and found a human body pattern painted on it, but the human body has six arms, and its posture is a bit like a peacock spreading its tail, forming a circle together, and there are several inscriptions written next to it. Li Xuan only recognizes the word "six".

Li Xuandu picked up another piece of tortoise shell, and the top was full of oracle bone inscriptions, and Li Xuandu could not recognize a single word.

At this moment, Wu Yang, who was busy breaking Wu Peng's ban in front of the altar, said, "These are some of the hypotheses of the Ten Witches of Lingshan on the human body, such as using humans as herbs to refine elixirs, or changing limbs, The head and heart are just not practiced.”

Li Xuan was shocked. The ideas mentioned by Wu Yang seemed to have many similarities with the "Eight Tribes" plan of the Guzaoge Sect. Even the reason why the Earth Master was successful was also to learn from some ancient witchcraft methods. .

Thinking of this, Li Xuan suddenly remembered that Xu Wugui was carrying a bronze mask with him. When the battle of the Dazhen Mansion, he used this mask to resist the "Fuxiang Wu Paper" of Bai Xiuchang. This bronze mask was in ancient times. The remains of the Witch Cult, and according to Shangguan Guan, Xu Wugui also found several ruins of the Witch Cult, and exchanged the ancient Witch statues in them with their own statues, condensing their divine power, thus achieving his own three. The exterior incarnation of the big body.

From this point of view, Xu Wugui obviously has a deep understanding of the ancient witch sect. So did he know that the six witches of enlightenment are in the "Xuandu Purple Palace" long ago? After all, the six witches of enlightenment did not disappear out of thin air, but only brought a large number of followers to the "Xuandu Zifu" after making full preparations. It can be seen from the fact that they even carried herb seeds, so the remaining members of the Ten Witches of Lingshan must be I know about this, and even record it and pass it on to later generations.

After thinking of this, Li Xuan felt a cold back. If Xu Wugui had already known the existence of the Six Wizards of Kaiming, then his purpose of coming to the "Xuandu Purple Palace" would be very intriguing, and Li Xuandu could do it too. From this, it is confirmed that Xu Wugui's various performances in front of Wu Xiang were all acts. Wu Xiang thought he had deceived Xu Wugui and planned to kill him after using it. However, Xu Wugui was determined and had no intention, so he could not say that these witches wanted. I suffered a big loss at Xu Wugui's hands.

Li Xuan thought about this and picked up a piece of tortoise shell engraved with pictures and began to take a closer look.

I don’t know how long it took, but Wu Yang cheered, obviously it was done.

Li Xuandu put the tortoise shell in his hand back to his original position and walked towards Wu Yang's place.

Wu Yang put his hands on his hips, raised his head and raised his chest, and laughed: "Wu Peng has indeed moved. She divided the traps here into three levels. If she only saw through one level or two levels and could not see through the last level, it would still trigger the trap. Then I can go back here in an instant through this trap, but how can I hide this little trick from my eyes? It would be almost the same if it were Wu Xian."

After saying that, Wu Yang took Li Xuandu's hand and walked to the altar.

For a moment, Li Xuan felt that the spiritual consciousness was unprecedentedly clear and clear, with vast sky and vast earth, high mountains and deep seas, and all of them were perceived. In an instant, he seemed to be in the center of the world, with the thirty-sixth of the Big Dipper and the Twenty-eight of the Big Dipper, slowly turning around him. , from all directions, from ancient times to the present, have regarded him as the key.
