Chapter 43

  "Spell arrays, illusions, summoning...". Dao Jing held a long sword in the underground space, observing the entire spell array, muttering his doubts to himself.

  Originally, I had planned to calm down and re-study the Taoist forbidden techniques after getting rid of San Ping Dao, but it's clear that things don't always go as one wishes, the situation developed too suddenly, was it my own rashness or fate playing tricks on me?

  Dào Jìng Cái didn't have time to think about these things. He was now wholeheartedly searching every corner of his mind for any memories that might be related to the solution.

  The result is, no!

  This is too strange, even if you haven't learned it yourself, you should have seen the scene of your master's technique. Taking a step back, even if you haven't seen it, with He Song and He Jun's ability to gossip, you should have heard something about it.

  But neither did!

  It seems like someone deliberately picked out this part.

  The way is quiet and I think of a hundred things but can't find an answer. Finally, a fantastic idea emerges: Could it be that it was left on Mount Tai?

  But he didn't know doesn't mean it can't be known again now, nor does it mean others don't know, and even more so, it doesn't mean this matter can't be solved at present.

  At this moment, there is already a ready-made Array Master waiting for his own command.

  Dao Jing swung his sword and drew a talisman, the clear light revolved and transformed into the formation, searching for every possible weakness.

  However, the expected assistant was silent, and Dao Jing frowned in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"

  He raised his left hand and struck out another talisman in the void, summoning his own Wind Thunder Jade Order. Finally, it seemed that the other party had received the summons, and another clear light appeared above the law array, corresponding to the inner and outer sword symbols, following the flow of spiritual energy in the law array, gradually gathering towards the ancient mirror in the center.

  "It seems that this ancient mirror is where the array eye is located"

  The calm and steady movement of the clear light, mentally estimating the effect of the next action. As the continuous casting of spells, the original spiritual power in this spell array has gradually weakened, and the transmission eye in the ancient mirror is about to be interrupted.

  However, with internal and external forces combined, it may be possible to break through the formation, but for the thousands of people in this underground space, they will lose their souls forever and never wake up again.

  These people are innocent civilians, although they were once tempted by their own greed and joined the cult. However, they were ultimately exploited and did not intentionally want to do evil. If we destroy them with the law array, these people will be gone, but it would not be worth it, considering that their families will have to endure the pain of losing loved ones. This would not just be the suffering of a thousand people, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even the entire region of Wu and Yue would be thrown into great turmoil.

  This won't work!

  He silently recited the sword mantra, guiding it into the ancient mirror. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, and under his concentrated gaze, he saw a vision within the ancient mirror. A sacrificial altar stood in the desolate mountains, where countless spirits were drawn to this place, merging with the earth's pulse. And at the top of the altar was a woman.

  "Who would have thought that Mirror Fairy had escaped to this place!"

  Dao Jing exerted his magical powers and immediately took control of her, then guided another beam of clear light into the ancient mirror.

  This clear light is no longer so gentle, it comes straight down from the horizon, crashing into the altar, stirring up the spiritual energy of the earth vein. The Clear Air gentleman who entered the earth vein ran along the trajectory of the formation for a week, as if searching for the operating rules of this formation.

  Perhaps due to limited magical power, Dao Jing could see that the clear light had a slight sign of decline and began to mix another kind of magic into the pure and clear air.

  "Why must it be so?"

  The tranquil energy urged the movement of his cultivation, and a strand of his spiritual power was separated to supplement him, suppressing the green aura back. This clear energy seemed to pause for a moment, then vigorously absorbed Dao Jing's spiritual power, as if accumulating strength for what he was about to do next.

  This clear light quickly gained momentum, attracting the earth's pulse and the scattered spirits around it. These spirits attached themselves to the clear energy, growing in number, and amidst this desolate mountain range, a dazzlingly powerful radiance burst forth.

  It's exactly this time!

  The clear air began to flow in reverse, and she was blocked by Jing Xian, but Dao Jing tightly bound her, making it impossible for her to move.

  The entire formation soon stabilized, and from under the earth's pulse, it gradually gathered towards the altar, until it poured into the body of Jing Xian.

  Jing Xian was struck by this sudden and powerful spiritual force, his entire body swelling as if he were about to burst out of his shell.

  The Taoist's calm demeanor was about to unravel the restraints. He gazed steadily at Jing Xian and commanded, "If you still want to live, then return these spiritual powers!"

  To save her life, Jing Xian had no choice but to nod in agreement. Just as Dao Jing was about to cast his spell, a powerful spiritual energy burst through her body and soared into the sky!

  In the distant sky, another magical array was faintly visible and had begun to operate. Dao Jing controlled the flow of spiritual energy from the side, ensuring that all of it poured into the ancient mirror.

  And another stream of clear light has returned to its original space along with these spiritual powers, on the other side, grasping the ancient mirror's spell array, reversing its operation, causing these spiritual powers to return to their original bodies.

  It wasn't until then that the horror of this formation became apparent, as the spiritual energy returned to the bodies of those in the underground space. As they watched, these people began to revive, and the surrounding dark fire gradually extinguished, but it was difficult for the dead to come back to life after all. Some people's spiritual energy couldn't find their masters and could only disperse on their own.

  But there are still many spiritual powers that have nowhere to belong, and this is where they come from.

  This clear light reversed into the ancient mirror, and with a blink of an eye, it brought out the quiet Tao.

  Dao Jing saw this situation and roughly understood that the Shui Yu Xian Dan was just a medicine guide, and anyone who took it would have their spiritual energy easily escape. The lingering spiritual energy without a master should have dissipated, but instead, it seemed to be the missing parts of the outsiders, the dull and foolish disciples and common people.

  The long sword in his hand flew out, striking the thick copper door. With a loud crash, the scattered spiritual energy was guided and rushed to the front of the door, instantly destroying the illusion array outside the door!

  Although it is only a part of the soul, it can be seen that human desire for survival is instinctual!

  Sighing, the spiritual energy in this underground space had dissipated, and the sleeping people would soon wake up. Dao Jing calculated the time in his heart, and at this moment, Lu Jian must have sent out a distress signal.

  The ancient mirror suddenly fell to the ground. When I went to check, it had already been damaged and deformed into an ordinary copper block, losing its ability to set up arrays.

  Another ray of light has disappeared, and at the same time, Mirror Fairy did not appear. Dao Jing furrowed his brow in confusion, "What happened to Meng Mu?"

  Isn't something wrong? He recalled that he had said that his pure and clear air was harmful to him, but he had neglected this point. Unbeknownst to the power of the law array, Dao Jing had almost used all his strength. And forced back the law enforcement of Meng Mu, wasn't he self-defense at that time?

  "...Dào Jìng also didn't know what to say, he just felt that this guy shouldn't die so easily."

  Worried about Mengmu's safety, he was about to step out when he heard the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against something coming from behind him.

  This time, however, he was startled.

  The people on the copper frame have woken up at this moment, and they all climbed down from the frame. Among them, there were men and women, old and young, but not one of them had a normal person's expression. They all had empty eyes, as if they were puppets, although they could move around, their limbs were stiff, and they had no direction at all. Over a thousand people turned around in confusion, this scene was simply eerie to the extreme.

  Dào Jìng didn't have time to think about what he did wrong, for now, he could only temporarily fix their shapes, and the rest would wait until the reinforcements arrived before thinking of a solution.

  He can no longer cast large-scale spells, so he had to seal the entrance first and then use the Earth Binding Technique to trap these people one by one. It was quite exhausting. After just breaking through the formation, he had already consumed twice his spiritual power. At this moment, if he didn't take a break, he would be panting, watching as reinforcements were slow to arrive, with no other choice but to force himself to hold on.

  And what about the person who was supposed to be rescued?

  At this moment, I am being attracted by a piece of cake.

  A lecherous middle-aged man found a girl sitting alone in the corner, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then approached her, pulled out a piece of candy from his sleeve and waved it in front of her.

  "Little baby, do you want to eat?"

  The deer arrow looked up at the person, because of the backlight, it was even more painful for her eyes. At this time, she was full of worries, worried about Dao Jing and Meng Mu, and also afraid of being discovered by others, and indeed a little hungry.

  Although this person in front of me doesn't seem like a troublemaker, they will still disturb me after all.

  She tried not to think of the enticing aroma between her nostrils, hastily turned her head away and whispered: "Don't want to"

  "Really don't want to?" Looking at her expression, the old man knew she was lying, and he recommended it even more enthusiastically: "This is a famous rice flour cake in Qingji County, smelling fragrant, soft and chewy when you take a bite. Don't you want to try some? I'll give it to you, try some!"

  The deer arrow belly made a hesitant "gulu" sound, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked away, "You really gave it to me?"

  That big uncle tried to make himself look pleased, he sincerely nodded, "Really give it to you, my family has a lot more, others are even more delicious, as long as you follow me home, all the good food will be yours"

  "...Just as Lu Jingyu was about to get up and take it, he heard his next words and was stunned for a moment, then hung his head in despair and shrank back,"Forget it"

  "Huh?" The uncle didn't expect the kid to resist the temptation of delicious food. He changed his mind and squatted down, asking with concern: "Little treasure, how are you alone here? Where are your parents?"

  How annoying that you have to intervene? Originally, Lu Jian had always hidden the pain of having no family in his heart. This old man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere actually dared to mention it, and the good feeling brought by Tiantian instantly disappeared without a trace.

  The deer arrow didn't speak, and the man leaned forward again, touched her head, although it was quickly shaken off, but still smiled slyly: "Can't find your family, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'll help you find your family. Look around here, there's nothing at all, under the scorching sun, you'll get heatstroke soon, and then it will be miserable."

  She didn't move, so he lowered his voice and said: "At night, there are also mice."

  "Ah, there's a mouse! Where is it?" Kojirō jumped up, almost dropping the hand he had been holding.

  "Hehe, there are especially many at night, you still..."

  "Wait a minute" Luo Jian's left hand had already gone numb, but this also reminded her of something very important.

  She had to look at the sly old man again and ask seriously: "Excuse me, what time is it now?"

  "Huh?" The uncle was clearly taken aback, still gazing at the sun, and honestly replied: "It's probably not time yet... what do you want to do?"

  Lu Jian's right hand slapped his forehead, muttering something like "forgot, forgot, damn it" under his breath.

  Then leave the wall side and run far away to a place where sunlight can shine through, stretching out left arm high towards the sun.

  The moment his palm relaxed, a light burst forth that was even more piercing than sunlight and shot straight up into the sky!
