Chapter 813 Canyon Exploration

Devil's Canyon, also known as Navaratna Canyon, stands in front of everyone. This canyon is a huge black mountain range, like a static black dragon in the boundless yellow sand. The mountain range is also cut off in the middle, with a big gap in the middle. , is the entrance to the canyon.

Seeing this canyon in the desert, everyone felt relieved. However, Guanqiu felt a chill emerge from the bottom of his heart at this time, but this feeling soon disappeared under the scorching sun.

The sand cloud also fell from the sky. After all, Old Man Xida had just achieved Taoism. Although his meditation practice was profound, his magic power was not endless.

Furthermore, the old master also had other concerns. He looked around. Located at the entrance of the canyon, he could see two huge black stones. After being exposed to the wind and sun, he could vaguely identify them as two statues. Huge idol.

Both of these statues have ferocious faces, and I don’t know if they are Buddhist protectors. The sunlight does not reflect any light on the black stones. As for the entrance, it is dark when you look inside. It is the middle of winter, and it is completely black.

"Master, there are so many bones here...?"

Ah Yue led the beast. He kicked the sand nonchalantly with his feet, and kicked out a yellow bone. He was suddenly startled. He looked around and saw that there were many things hidden in the sand. There are countless bones, large and small, including half a skull bone and some scattered animal bones.

When everyone saw this scene, they were also frightened. There were too many bone fragments. You must know that Zhan Hongsheng and Yuhui Demon Dao were all monks who practiced foreign magic, and they often committed many crimes. .

Their brains were sealed by Old Man Xida, and their cultivation was suppressed by the power of Buddhism. They could not use the power of their souls at will, but their vision and knowledge were still there. They could tell at a glance that the fragments of bones on the sand were all stained with a strong aura of resentment. .

"The area within thirty feet of the sand beneath our feet is all filled with these bones..."

Guanqiu used the power of his soul to detect the earth and came to a surprising conclusion: "I feel that this area seems to have been transformed into a large formation using some kind of arrangement."

"Maybe this is the method of the Ghost Crying Sect."

The leader of the Hollow Valley, Zhan Hongsheng, whispered to himself: "This is a bit like the evil spirit formation of the Ghost Crying Sect. When setting it up, you need to use the resentful bones of all spirits... However, I have heard that the Mud Sect also has a ghost-raising refinement. The technique of formation seems to belong to a special ritual."

Although the Hollow Valley to which Zhan Hongsheng belongs is a heretic sect, its background is not simple. It also knows many anecdotes in the world of martial arts and the secrets of the spiritual world.

He opened his mouth and came up with two guesses, which had some basis and were not just empty talk or nonsense.

"This is absolutely impossible."

The elder of Dazunbao came from Jianxi. He was an old man wearing a silver robe and with white hair and eyebrows.

"The Ghost Crying Sect does not have such a long history... As for the Mud Sect, I have never heard of them preaching in the desert before..."

"Anyway, something's not right about this damn place."

Old Taoist Yuhui licked his dry lips: "Old Taoist, I don't dare to stay here at night..."

His words also aroused the vigilance of several other people. Yes, this place seems to be directly illuminated by the sun. However, everything must be reversed. Otherwise, it will be peaceful. Because of the gathering of resentful bones of all spirits, and the naturally heavy yin energy of the terrain, it is fine during the day, but once it falls at night , it will inevitably become an extremely dangerous place.

"Then again, where did these bones come from?"

Ah Yue muttered: "Are they the bones of people who died in the past?"

He is a child living in the desert. When he goes out on weekdays, he often sees travelers who have lost their way in the desert and turned into mummy corpses, or animals that have died of thirst. He is not very afraid of corpses, but is curious about what these corpses are like. origin.

Guan Qiu also thought of the same question and moved his eyes towards Old Man Xida.

"Master, are these the remains of those who died back then?"

Old man Xida shook his head.

"Those are thousands of years old. Even if there are bones, they would have been weathered long ago. It is impossible for these bones to be so well preserved in the wind and sand."

He squatted down, picked up a bone in the sand, stared at it carefully for a while, and frowned involuntarily.

"This human bone belongs to a child. I think this bone is only about two hundred years old..."

"Two hundred years?"

Guan Qiu felt a chill in his heart, and he also felt that the origin of the bones scattered all over the earth was not simple.

"Amitabha."

Old Man Xida also stood up slowly, clasped his hands, and explained the situation to everyone: "As you can see, this Navaratna Canyon is actually a dangerous place. All the people who died in the war are still here. Countless monks and people, as well as the entire city, who were massacred by 'Nanda King' Chandragupta, were suppressed in this mountain range. This also caused the dead souls to gather into disasters and turn into various demons. ”

Devil's Canyon was originally a peaceful Buddhist holy land, but due to various causes and effects, it turned into a place where evil spirits were rampant. Old Man Xida's words at this time were also a warning.

"Guan Mou shoulders the heavy responsibility of the master, and it is necessary to enter it to find out what is going on." Guan Qiu also said at this time: "Master, actually you don't need to go in with me."

"I am also involved in the cause and effect of this matter. Even if I don't go, I will inevitably be implicated in it." Old man Xida raised his eyebrows slightly: "My senior brother Ajiamu obviously has a master who has entered the Taoist level. The ban imposed... It seems that this matter has affected our Curse family. "

Guanqiu sighed: "I was the one who got Master Xida into trouble."

Old Xida shook his head.

"Young man, you don't need to say more. The Devil's Canyon is dangerous and unpredictable. One more person can be said to be one more force."

He didn't say much, and strode forward. A Yue followed closely behind him.

Guan Qiu also glanced at the other people behind him and asked in a deep voice: "I have also explained to you in advance the dangers of this Devil's Canyon. If you are afraid, you can hide outside."

He added: "Of course, you can also go in with me. As long as it is within Guan's ability, I will protect you as much as possible."

Zhan Hongsheng, Taoist Yuhui, Jian Xilai and several others changed their expressions when they heard his words, and they all had some difficulty in making a choice.

This is a dilemma. It goes without saying that entering the Devil's Canyon with Guan Qiu is dangerous. As for staying outside the Devil's Canyon, it is definitely not safe.

Just as Zhan Hongsheng said, if there is really a large formation set up by the Ten Thousand Spirits' Resentful Bones outside the Devil's Canyon, it will not be a joke after nightfall.

Zhan Hongsheng and his female disciple decided to enter the Devil's Canyon together.

The red-robed old man thought that if Guan Qiu died, the poison he had planted in his body could be said to be untreatable, and he would still be dead.

Only by following Guan Qiu, he might be able to find an opportunity to get the antidote and escape.

Yuhui Yaodao also insisted on moving together. He felt that it was not safe outside the Devil's Canyon. The sandy land full of bones was extremely gloomy and creepy.

Jindan Dao was originally a rather strange sect of casual cultivators. It was destroyed several times by the Zhanxie Division of the Great You Dynasty, but it was always able to revive. This old Taoist Yuhui also had some strange abilities.

As for Elder Jian Xilai of the Great Zun Castle and his female disciple, they did not plan to go deep into the Devil's Canyon. He asked Guan Qiu to return his flying sword to him and was willing to wait for everyone outside the canyon to come back.

"Well."

Elder Xida sighed, condensed two Vajra Talismans with his magic power, and handed them to Jian Xilai and his female disciple.

"These two talismans can keep you safe for a while. In addition, this beast will be left in your hands. This beast also has some spirituality and can avoid danger. When you encounter danger in the desert, you can follow this beast closely and escape."

After arranging these things, old man Xida, A Yue, Guan Qiu and his party strode into the Devil's Canyon.

...

The entrance to the canyon is like the big mouth of a demon, and it is also like a dark corridor. It is so dark inside that you can't see your hand in front of you.

Old man Xida did not rely on his Tao-level magic power to fly. He walked in the front, but his steps were very slow, not fast or slow. Every step was very careful, and his eyes were also paying attention to everything around him.

Guan Qiu and others also knew how powerful this place was. The entrance to the Devil's Canyon was very deep and as slender as a goose neck. From the darkness, there was also a very cold wind blowing, whirring, like a ghost crying.

Guan Qiu pulled out the ancient sword behind him, and the thin blade emitted a strange glow, like a moonlight, illuminating the entrance of the canyon.

Zhan Hongsheng and others also made a few torches with bones they picked up at random and held them in their hands.

At first, A Yue didn't care too much, but after walking a hundred feet, he felt more and more cold and piercing. The yin energy here was extremely heavy, like the north wind blowing snow on his body.

Fortunately, when he felt cold all over, a warm current came from the jade ring hanging on his neck and poured into his chest, like a series of spirit snakes, wandering up and down with spirituality, and then the warm current returned to his body and drilled into his limbs.

A Yue soon stopped being cold, but instead felt warm all over. In his mind, that is, the initial opening of the heart sea void, in the depths of his mind, countless little people made of Sanskrit culture jumped around, condensing the profound mystery of Buddhism.

This is the profound Buddhism that He Ping deliberately passed on to him. It originated from the "Five Phases of the Wheel of Silence" and was also mixed with the mystery of the Supreme Yoga Broken Vajrayana, as well as the Ganges Mahamudra and other Buddhist magical powers.

He did this for a purpose. Ah Yue had a special kind of luck and cause and effect. Although this child was not a Fengyun Eight Cultivator, nor did he look like a Godly King, he gave him a very special feeling, a strange existence.

"This child's fate did not appear before. If my observation is correct, it was after the Emperor You transformed the 36 Dao Entry Orthodox Method that all kinds of wonderful changes occurred. Could it be that... the change in this child's fate was due to some kind of influence of the Emperor You?"

He Ping's heart was also full of doubts.

Crack.

Ah Yue stepped on a hard object and made a cracking sound. He lowered his head and saw that the ground was covered with gray-white soil.

"This is not soil, this is human ashes, and there are still unmelted dry bones."

Old Xida had noticed these details a long time ago.

"Let's keep going..."

He took another step forward.

Guanqiu and others also felt nervous when they heard this. They looked forward and saw that the entrance passage was still a long way away. The gray-white ashes still had not reached the end, and a thick layer of them had accumulated on the ground.

Swish!

Something was closing in quickly, and the sound of wings flapping could be heard in the darkness.

"What is that?"

Guan Qiu stepped forward, his momentum was like a dragon and a tiger, and the sword light in his hand made a sound of wind, illuminating the dark passage like lightning.

With a "hum", the sword light shot through the air and hit the strange shadow.

Amid the sound of metal and stone exploding, the monster blocked the sword light with its wings, and sparks flew from its hard iron wings.

The monster was hit by the sword light and felt some pain. It circled suddenly in the air and ran towards Ah Yue.

Its claws were as sharp as knives and gleaming with cold light, reaching straight for the weakest child in the crowd.

"stop."

Old man Xida secretly cast a curse to hide the Twelve Heavens Curse.

The strange creature was frozen in the void, its eyes moving desperately, but its body was like a bug frozen in amber, with not even a hair able to move.

"It's a bone bat."

Guanqiu shouted suddenly: "Master, there should be a bat nest here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of countless demon bats flapping their wings.

"...This is the Bone Bat, a race of monsters from the Abyss Realm! We must exit quickly."

White-bone bats are also notorious in the abyss world. When ordinary monks encounter a bat nest, they have no other choice but to escape.

Even if you are a master of Taoism, if you encounter a powerful bat demon, you will be angry on the spot if you are not careful.

At this moment, Guan Qiu only had the word "escape" left in his mind.

"It doesn't matter."

Old Man Xida took a step forward and let out a long roar, as if he had eight arms, and produced eight kinds of seals in an instant.

These eight kinds of dharma seals are the essence of the Curse. The old man's spirit has also risen to an awe-inspiring height. The pressure of the Taoist-level powerhouse emanates, and the many monster bats rushing out of the canyon feel... A blazing light burst out.

boom!

The monster bats couldn't resist at all, and they were all crushed into flesh by this invisible force at the first time, and their bodies and spirits were destroyed.

At this moment, the old man Xida also showed his bottomless power of meditation. Even if he did not obtain "Entertainment" through the Buddhist dharma, the magical power he obtained through meditation and hard work was no less than that of ordinary monks who have entered the Dao. Give more.

"It's really awesome!"

Guanqiu also sighed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"My master was able to cultivate and enter Taoism, at least with the help of the righteous method of "Four Spirits Book"... Although the curse is of the lineage, it is not an ordinary evil way, but it is not the authentic method of Buddhism after all. Master Xida can enter Taoism through other methods, and he can still obtain it. Such a powerful achievement can only be said to be the result of long-term hard work and accumulated experience in meditation.”

He also knows very well that there are also some extraordinary people with extraordinary talents among the heretic cultivators. However, they are trapped outside the Tao because they have not obtained the Dharma. He does not know why the world will undergo such a shocking change, but from now on, there will definitely be more and more people in the world. There are many great heretic monks who show their prowess without the need for Dharma rectification.
