Yin and Yang Taoist Code

Sitting on Yu Yao's jade pendant, the group of people galloped all the way to the southwest. The place they were going to was about a thousand miles southwest of Tianmen Mountain, a strange place called "Fire Cloud Pit".

On the way, Wang Yuan introduced two companions, a man and a woman, to Li Chuyi and Li Chuyi. The man was called Zhao Mu and the woman was called Zhao Mei. They were brothers and sisters. They were taken away after they were discovered to have spiritual roots since childhood. After entering Taixu Palace to practice, he is now in the middle stage of God Refining, only one step away from the late stage of God Refining.

After a few people got to know each other, Wang Yuan began to tell Li Chuyi some information about Huoyunkeng.

"Huoyunkeng is a strange place. It is rich in a strange thing called Yancao, which can be used as medicine to make elixirs. It is a very precious herb and is the goal of our trip. But it is also a dangerous place, with fire all year round. Diffuse and extremely hot, endless earth fires are constantly emerging from the cracks in the ground. It is said that the temperature of some earth fires is so high that even great powers in the ascension stage would be in danger of their lives. "

"Oh, then just avoid it. What's the danger? Isn't it a hot spot?" Li Chuyi asked.

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head and explained: "If it were that simple, Huoyun Pit would not be called a place of great danger. There are no warnings or patterns before the fire there breaks out. The ground will suddenly crack and spew out fire all over the sky, and sometimes even lava will spurt out. If it is on the ground, we can avoid it, but the Fire Cloud Pit is just like its name, it is a huge underground pit. The tunnels inside are criss-crossed and sometimes change as the underground fire spurts out. Except for a few tunnels that have been proven to be safe, even if you walk through many roads once, you will not be able to walk on them the second time. The direction it leads to is probably not one you knew before.”

Looking at Li Chuyi, who had a serious expression on his face, Wang Yuan recalled his past experience and said with a complicated expression: "I once encountered an underground fire diversion before. At that time, I went into the cave with several senior brothers. When we finished collecting When Yancao returned, we happened to encounter an underground fire eruption that changed the tunnel. Without our knowledge, we stepped into a dangerous area with dense eruptions. I remember that a fiery red crack suddenly opened under the feet of Senior Brother Liu who was walking in the front. From the cracks, ground fire instantly poured out and filled the entire tunnel, and Senior Brother Liu was turned into fly ash and dissolved in the magma without any resistance."

"We ran all the way, desperately looking for a way out. After using up all the magic weapons to protect ourselves and almost despairing, we found a road leading to a safe tunnel by luck. Five of us went in, but when we came out At that time, only me and another senior brother Ma were left. I was lucky, I only suffered some minor injuries due to exhaustion of my power, and after a little recovery, I was fine. However, senior brother Ma was seriously injured and was dying. He saved one life, but his whole body was severely burned and his face was completely disfigured. The injuries were too serious and he had already injured Daoji. He is still stuck in the middle stage of God Refining and cannot make any progress. You know, he was in the middle stage of God Refining at that time. Realm, after so many years, but...ah..." Wang Yuan sighed deeply, and Yu Yao next to him seemed to know these things, and also sighed with a complicated expression.

Li Chu felt a little horrified when he heard it. He thought for a moment and asked, "The flow of magma shouldn't be very fast. Can't you run away?"

"Run?" Wang Yuan glanced at Li Chuyi, smiled in a low voice, and said: "The magma is not fast, but the fire cloud formed by the flames is fast. You have never seen it, so you don't know. In the tunnel, the ground After the fire is erupted, it cannot dissipate like it does in the outside world. It will all gather at the top of the tunnel to form a fire cloud. The fire cloud rolls like a roaring wave in the deep sea and will spread in all directions in an instant. If there is no protective Taoism or magic weapon to resist it. , this fire cloud alone will turn us into ashes in an instant, which is also the origin of the name Huoyun Pit, Huoyun Pit, once the fire cloud comes out, I don’t know how many heroes have been killed!”

Swallowing hard, Li Chuyi said hesitantly: "Senior Brother Wang, this place is so dangerous, am I going to die if I go there?"

When Wang Yuan heard this, he knew that Li Chuyi had been frightened by what he just said. He smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. We will only do peripheral activities this time and won't go too far. That time, we had to collect flaming grass that was over a hundred years old. The place where this thing grows is relatively deep into the Huoyun Pit, which is why I encountered this danger. Although we are also collecting wormwood this time, there is no requirement for the year. It can be found outside, so as long as we are careful, it will not be too big. danger."

Li Chuyi breathed a sigh of relief. If he was risking his life for a few hundred taels of silver, he would never do such a losing business. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Xiao Yu next to him and said, "Little girl, why don't you go in and wait outside."

Xiaoyu glanced at him in surprise, as if she didn't expect that Li Chuyi would show concern. For some reason, there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, but she said unyieldingly: "I won't, I will do it if you can come in." I can get in! Besides, with Senior Sister Yu Yao protecting me, I won’t be in danger!”

Seeing Xiao Yu looking at her with confidence, Yu Yao could only smile helplessly.

After thinking for a while, Yu Yao said: "In addition to the earth fire that Junior Brother Wang mentioned, there are two dangerous things in Huoyun Pit."

Seeing everyone looking over, Yu Yao continued: "One of them is the monks. Although the Huoyun Pit is close to my Tianmen Mountain, it is not our private property after all. Many monks from other places will also come here to collect flames. Damn it. It would be okay if we met a monk from an alliance sect, but if we met an evil cultivator or a demon cultivator, it would be difficult for us to do anything good. And even if we are an alliance monk, we would not dare to do so in a dangerous place like the Fire Cloud Pit. Guaranteed he will coexist peacefully with us, so be careful."

After a pause, Yu Yao continued: "The second one is the Fire Cloud in the Fire Cloud Pit, which is a hundred times more dangerous to enemy monks - Fire Evil."

"Fire Demon, is there really such a thing?" Wang Yuan was shocked. He had heard of the name Fire Fiend, but he always thought it was a legend. Unexpectedly, Yu Yao confirmed that this thing really existed.

Yu Yao nodded and said seriously: "Yes, fire demons do exist, but they usually only appear in the deepest parts of the fire cloud pit and rarely appear outside. This fire demon is a creature born from the earth's fire. This kind of strange creature is neither living nor dead. Most of them have no intelligence and only rely on instinct to act and practice, but there are also a few who have extremely high cultivation and are born with intelligence, just like living people."

"Ah, can these things be cultivated?" Li Chuyi asked in surprise, "What are their cultivation levels?"

Glancing at Li Chuyi, Yu Yao looked at everyone and said slowly: "I don't know what the cultivation level is, but according to the experience summarized by the predecessors, the worst Fire Demon has a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage, and the birth of Those who are wise are all above the Tribulation Stage. In addition, even at the same level, it is difficult for monks to defeat the Fire Evil, because not only will the monks be injured, but they will also die from exhaustion due to exhaustion of mana. With the ubiquitous earth fire, they will have almost no consumption, and their bodies composed of magma and flames are almost invincible and will not be injured. Unless they are directly destroyed physically and mentally with great magic power, otherwise they will have to rely on attacks. It’s almost impossible to hurt them and slowly grind them to death.”

"So, if a monk encounters a fire demon, wouldn't he be doomed?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise, covering her mouth.

Yu Yao nodded and said: "That's right. If a monk encounters this thing, he will usually avoid it if he can. He will only take action when he is unable to compete. Although most of these things have no intelligence, they have an instinct. Once they are in contact with it, they will If you do it, it will continue to summon its companions, so once you do it, you must kill it with one blow in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will become more and more powerful. Fortunately, everything in nature has its shortcomings. Although the fire evil is powerful, The speed is not fast, most monks are basically faster than them, and most of them can get rid of them in time. "

"Fortunately, this thing only appears in the depths. If it also appeared in the periphery, who would dare to step into the Fire Cloud Pit." Li Chuyi patted his chest and said happily.

Yu Yao shook her head slightly and said: "Don't be careless. Although this thing only moves in the depths, it will also appear in the periphery in rare cases. For example, the danger of life and death mentioned by Junior Brother Wang Yuan, did you think it was the earth fire eruption that changed the situation? In fact, that was not the case. The crisis was because a fire demon appeared on the outside for some reason. A group of monks accidentally bumped into it and they thought it was some kind of spiritual beast and alien object, so they tried to kill it and subdue it. As a result, the fire demon went crazy and started going crazy after killing the group of monks, causing the ground fire to continue to surge. The combined action of the earth fire and the fire demon caused many tunnels to collapse or shift, and you and your companions were trapped. He happened to be within the range of the fire demon's madness and almost died in it. "

Wang Yuan was stunned and looked at Yu Yao for a long time, not knowing what to say. After all these years, he now knows the real reason for the danger he encountered.

After half a minute of silence, Wang Yuancai asked in a low tone: "Senior sister, how did you know?"

"Because, the fire evil caused our Taixu Palace to send several experts, and Senior Brother Hao led the team to kill it. And I was one of the participants, but my cultivation level was still low at that time, and I was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul. "I only went there to gain insights for my senior brothers. Later, for some reasons, Head Lu decided to suppress the truth of the matter and only announced that the tunnel had been changed due to the eruption of the surrounding ground fire." explained.

Wang Yuan was silent. He did not ask why Leader Lu did not make the truth known to the public. He knew that there were some things that he could not know.

Looking at Wang Yuan who was a little sad, Yu Yao sighed softly and said, "Besides, there is one more thing you need to know. Why were you able to find a way out in such a desperate situation?"

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up, as if he had a guess, and he looked at Yu Yao with burning eyes.

Yu Yao nodded lightly and said: "The road you found was carved out for you by Senior Brother Yu Hao. There were not even ten monks left in the pit that day, and you and Junior Brother Ma were the only ones. At that time, Yu Hao Senior Brother was fighting the Fire Evil, and accidentally saw you and Junior Brother Ma being trapped. He took a heavy blow from the Fire Evil and forced a way out for you. Although the Fire Evil was successfully killed in the end, Senior Brother Yu. As a result, I was seriously injured and it took me more than half a year to recover. Fortunately, my foundation was not damaged.”

Looking at Wang Yuan's unbelievable eyes, Yu Yao said slowly: "Senior Brother Yu didn't let me tell you this, but I think you should still know it. Now that you know it, you don't need to do more. No matter what useless things you do, just remember the kindness of Senior Brother Yu."

Wang Yuan nodded heavily, feeling extremely grateful to his senior brother. He knew that what Yu Yao said was true, because he clearly remembered that when he and Senior Brother Ma were desperate, there was indeed a burst of energy, and then a way out appeared. Although he didn't think much about that energy at the time because the scene was too chaotic, now that he thought about it, he finally knew who was behind it.

Li Chuyi had been listening silently, and he couldn't help but become curious about the master brother named Yu Hao. He secretly thought that he must meet this person if he had a chance.
