Chapter 74: Shallow Grass Can Keep Horse Hoofs Away "What did you just say?" Cheng Yu asked Shan Huai in surprise. "Fell in this sticky and wet place?" Shan Huai looked puzzled by the question. "That's not it." "It would be better to have a good fight with a monster." Shan Huai replied, still confused in his heart. Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi turned to Xiang Shuzhu and asked, "You said you think so too?" Shuzhu seemed to understand Chengqi's meaning and quickly replied, "That's almost the same, but I think even if an ancient giant beast comes, it's better than suffering this punishment. At least it can open my eyes." Cheng Yu couldn't help but ponder. He had almost thought about it just now. How could it be such a coincidence? This giant dragon in the water completely matched what the three of them had thought of. If this was true, then the mystery that Senior Brother Han Yang mentioned... Thinking of this, he looked up at Shuzhu, who also nodded in response, and then said: "Awei is the most timid among us, and he probably wouldn't have had such an idea. But when the giant dragon appeared, it just ate him. I guess he must have thought something like 'this monster wants to eat me' at the time, which is why he was swallowed in one gulp." Shan Huai finally understood what the two were saying: "You mean, whatever we think of here will happen? This... this is too absurd!"
Upon hearing this, Shuzhu looked at Chengqi, who hesitated for a moment before nodding. "We'll know if this works if we give it a try." Shuzhu got a hint from Chengqi and said, "Now let's all hope that day will come soon and see if it can get brighter here." So the three of them tried hard to follow Shuzhu's instructions and concentrate their thoughts, but after a long time, there was no sunrise and the surroundings were still extremely dark. However, at this moment, the water suddenly churned, and the giant dragon appeared again! Cheng Yu was shocked when he saw this: Could it be that what he just thought was wrong? Shu Zhu also had a bewildered look on his face. He looked at the giant dragon in front of him but didn't dare to move - could it be that it heard the three people talking and came back to attack? At this time, Shan Huai scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but think about the giant dragon just now, and I didn't expect it to really come back." Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly covered Shan Huai's mouth. He didn't know whether his previous guess was correct or not. If it was not, then the giant dragon definitely did not come back because of what Shan Huai wanted. At this moment, the giant dragon in the water slowly approached the three people. Shu Zhu was shocked and quickly drew out the soft sword in his hand to stab it, but was stopped by Cheng Yu. Shu Zhu was puzzled and looked at Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu shook his head: This giant dragon didn't seem to have any hostility this time. Besides, even if they really wanted to fight it, judging from the three of them's cultivation level it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, and they would have no chance of winning. The giant dragon was seen slowly approaching the three people, but when it was about to get too close it slowly lowered its body and put its head beside Shan Huai. Cheng Yu and Shu Zhu were both very confused when they saw this, while Shan Huai touched the giant dragon's neck. "When I was a child, a Taoist priest came to my house and gave me a whip for exorcising demons. He said it was made from the hair of a dragon's neck. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true. It feels exactly like it." Hearing this, Cheng Qi and Shu Zhu were all in disbelief. They usually thought that this locust tree was missing some tendons or strings, but they never thought it would be so incredible! Then the two of them looked at each other again: Since this giant dragon can do this, it means that the previous assumption is correct, but why can't it be realized at dawn? Looking at Shan Huai who was still touching the giant dragon, the two of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought: What's wrong? …… Awei was finally pacified. He sat up and looked around, wondering: Wasn’t he just eaten by a giant snake? Why was he in the sect again? Seeing Awei like this, Lingxiang walked down the stone steps, squatted in front of him and asked, "What did you see? Why are you so scared?" Seeing the sudden appearance of the spiritual fragrance, Ah Wei was startled at first, and then he shouted: "Snake! Big snake! The big snake is inside! Chengqi and the others haven't come out yet! Hurry up and save them! Oh no! I've been eaten! I've been eaten!" Seeing him like this, the Taoist boy hurried forward and was about to cast a spell, but Lingxiang took out a pill and stuffed it into Awei's mouth. After a few moments, he fainted. "I fed him a tranquilizing pill. Send him back to have a good sleep and he will be fine." Upon hearing this, the Taoist boy bowed, turned around and made a hand gesture. Then, Awei floated up like a puppet and followed the Taoist boy's steps towards the outer disciples' residence. Looking at the two people walking away, Lingxiang smiled. It was the first time she had seen such a timid person.
But when I heard him mention Cheng Qi just now, it seemed that he was very close to the truth, but I didn't know if he could make it in time. Lingxiang turned around and saw that the Taoist boy had already started lighting incense, and she couldn't help but think of Long Qi. There is only one stick of incense left! …… "What? The tomb of the giant turtle?" Banxia was shocked when she heard this. "So this is not fog but miasma!" Lian Qiao rolled her eyes at her and said, "If it was miasma, why would you have been able to jump around for so long? And there was also a gust of evil wind blowing." "It's unusually cold and damp here. It's definitely foggy, but it's a little strange." Liu Xia pinched his chin and said, "Since the fog is so thick, where does the light come from? I didn't see the sun when I climbed up just now, so how could there be light?" "So, those lights are not always there, but one appears every time you walk a certain distance, as if..." Long Qi pondered, "as if they are pointing the way." Xinyi thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed as Long Qi said, so she suggested, "Why don't we try to follow the light?" The crowd walked for a long time following the light, but no matter how hard they walked, they could not reach the end. There was always another light in front of each light, as if it was endless. "How long will it take us to walk like this? This is not a solution." Banxia sat down on a rock in frustration. Xinyi looked at Banxia, his eyes full of questions. Banxia felt uneasy when he was stared at, and asked him why he was looking at her. But Xinyi did not answer, but walked towards Banxia. Seeing him like this, Banxia hurriedly got up from the rock and walked away, but Xinyi just walked past her and walked towards the rock. "If you are tired, just tell me. It's scary if you have to do this." Listening to Banxia's complaints, Lianqiao glanced at her and said: Do you think everyone is like you? At this time, Xinyi said, "We have been walking for a long time, and I am afraid we are just going in circles." As she said this, she spread her hand and found a sword mark. "This is the mark I made before." "You mean, we walked for half a day and ended up back where we started?" Banxia looked incredulous. "It seems so..." Long Qi stepped forward and pinched his chin and said, "This is just like..." "Like a formation." Lian Qiao said. When everyone heard this, they looked at her in surprise. "Do you understand formations?" Liu Xia asked. Lian Qiao glanced at him, her eyes full of dissatisfaction: After all, her family is an expert in exorcising demons, and she also knows a little about the most basic mechanisms and formations. Seeing everyone like this, Xinyi stopped talking. Lingxiang had informed him in advance not to show off his strength and to stop at the critical moment. It would be bad if too many people knew about his affairs. (End of this chapter)
