Chapter 126 Immortal Body, Cruel Changming Formation

Ji Linger saw that Lu Chen had not answered, and her bright eyes dimmed a lot.

That pitiful look immediately made Lu Chen, who had little emotional experience, feel caught.

Guilt, why do I feel inexplicably guilty!

Although Lu Chen thought so in his heart, he still said tentatively: "Well, what did I say before?"

Hearing this, Ji Linger immediately lowered her head.

Her eyes, which were originally a little dim, suddenly became cunning.

Then she pretended to be depressed and whispered: "You said that Ling'er only needs to guard the Great Flame Dragon Vein well, then when you come again... you will agree to form a Taoist couple with Ling'er as you immortals say."

"Ah?!"

Lu Chen, who is very sharp in other aspects, is indescribably slow in love at this time.

But this can't be blamed on him.

After all, even if Lu Chen has lived two lives, he has always been a paper talker in this regard.

A typical giant in theory, a dwarf in reality.

When talking about theories about love, he can speak eloquently and make a lot of arguments.

But when a similar situation really happened in reality.

His eyes went dark and he didn't know what to say at all.

Of course, the main reason for his current confusion was that he didn't know whether Ji Ling'er was telling the truth or not.

What if he really made a promise to Ji Ling'er?

Sweating profusely, Lu Chen was really sweating profusely at this moment.

Perhaps because she didn't want Lu Chen to think too much, Ji Ling'er immediately said: "Brother Qinglian, so what are you going to do this time..."

Before Ji Ling'er finished speaking, Lan Yan suddenly pushed open the palace door.

Seeing that her evil plan was about to succeed, she was suddenly interrupted by Lan Yan.

Ji Ling'er was angry!

She looked at Lan Yan, and her eyes were not just cold.

But full of murderous intent.

Because at this moment, she really wanted to kill Lan Yan.

"Lan Yan, did the emperor say that no one is allowed to come in without my order?"

Facing the terrifying pressure from Ji Ling'er, Lan Yan said solemnly: "But Your Majesty... the evil ones are here again."

Hearing this, Ji Ling'er's already gloomy face became even gloomier.

As if the word "evil" had touched her reverse scale.

She looked in the direction outside the palace and said in a cold tone: "If they dare to come, then let them come and never return."

"Yes."

Hearing Ji Ling'er's words, Lan Yan immediately retreated.

Then Ji Ling'er looked at Lu Chen and said apologetically: "Brother Qinglian, please wait a moment, things will be over soon..."

As she said that, no one knew what Ji Ling'er did.

The originally calm blood pool under the immortal coffin suddenly surged.

Then the blood in the blood pool spread to the surroundings along with the four huge chains.

And soon turned into special lamp oil to light the four huge ever-burning lamps outside the palace.

At this point, Lu Chen realized it belatedly and looked at Ji Ling'er's panel.

[Name: Ji Ling'er]

[Cultivation: Mortal]

[Special Talent: Immortal Body]

[Description: ? ? ? ]

Mortal, Immortal Body?

Looking at Ji Ling'er's panel, Lu Chen found it difficult to associate her with the last empress who commanded countless ghost soldiers and generals.

After all, he would never have thought that the person lying in the immortal coffin would be a mortal.

Just when Lu Chen wanted to get some other information.

The originally peaceful imperial mausoleum suddenly shook violently.

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen spread his consciousness.

Not long after, he clearly saw what happened outside the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.

A large amount of black fog suddenly emerged around the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.

These black fogs were very strange. Not only could they devour Lu Chen's spiritual power, but they could also pollute the surrounding environment.

But as the four huge ever-burning lamps under the imperial mausoleum lit up,

The black fog finally stopped within the range of the Changming lamp, forming a clear boundary line.

It was as if the light emitted by the Changming lamp was the natural enemy of the black fog.

Under the Changming lamp, there were the ghost soldiers and generals of the Great Yan Imperial City.

Outside the Changming lamp, there were countless strange beings surging in the black fog.

Not long after, Lu Chen saw a large number of immortal evils coming out of the black fog.

They looked like normal cultivators.

If the black aura emanating from them was ignored, Lu Chen would even think that they were just ordinary cultivators in the land of Shenzhou.

In addition to the evils similar to cultivators, there were also a large number of half-dead monsters coming out of the black fog.

These guys had haggard faces and ragged clothes.

They looked like rotten corpses crawling out of a grave.

Black Lotus…

Lu Chen didn't expect that he would actually see the Black Lotus Sect, which had only appeared in reality, in the copy.

What's more, he didn't expect that there were as many as four Black Lotus Cult altar leaders who invaded the Great Yan Emperor's Mausoleum.

And every one of them is a real golden elixir stage evil.

Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't know how Ji Ling'er was going to resist.

Because although Ji Ling'er has five ghost generals in the ghost elixir stage.

But among the few people, only Lan Yan reached the fifth rank of the Ghost Pill stage.

The remaining four ghost generals are all in the ghost elixir stage.

Against the four Black Lotus Cult Masters who were in the first to third stages of the Golden Core Stage, this power was undoubtedly somewhat insufficient.

The actual situation was similar to what Lu Chen thought, when Lan Yan and others fought against these Black Lotus Sect evildoers.

The combat takes on an almost overwhelming aspect.

The four ghost generals were not only severely suppressed by the leader of the Black Lotus Sect.

Even Lan Yan couldn't do anything against the Black Lotus Sect protector on the opposite side.

In an instant, everything is in danger.

But soon, the situation on both sides changed.

I saw Lan Yan and these Great Flame Ghost Generals as if they were not afraid of death. Not only did they exchange injuries for injuries every time they attacked.

And they seemed to be heading towards exchanging lives with the Black Lotus Sect's evildoers from the very beginning.

Every move is a life-threatening blow.

Under this crazy fighting method, the evildoers of the Black Lotus Sect became a little timid.

For a time, the battle between the two sides fell into a strange stalemate.

In addition to this high-level battle.

The battle between the ordinary Great Flame Ghost Soldiers and the Black Lotus Walking Dead on the ground was equally brutal.

Both sides seemed to not know what death was, and both adopted the most crazy fighting methods.

Every minute and every second, a large number of Black Lotus zombies and Great Flame ghost soldiers will die.

It's just that after death of these Great Flame Ghost Soldiers, their bodies will turn into a plume of black smoke and fly into the eternal lamp behind.

Not long after, he will be resurrected under the ever-burning lamp and join the battle again.

If the Black Lotus Walking Dead is dead, it is really dead.

And if it was just the ordinary Great Flame Ghost Soldiers like this, then Ji Ling'er would still be unable to stop the Black Lotus Sect's offensive.

But when this feature of infinite resurrection also appears in Lan Yan and other great flame ghost generals, the situation is completely different.

A ghost general with the ability to be infinitely resurrected in the ghost core stage has a combat power that is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

I saw that although Lan Yan and others were slightly inferior to the black lotus sect's evildoers in terms of cultivation.

However, relying on the infinite resurrection characteristics of the ever-bright lamp behind them, they were able to block the Black Lotus Sect's army.

Perhaps knowing that the Great Yan Emperor's Tomb could not be captured for the time being, the black mist that suddenly appeared around the Emperor's Tomb finally slowly faded away.

When everything was over, Lu Chen turned to look at Ji Ling'er in the coffin.

I saw that the other party's breath became extremely weak at this time.

His originally rosy complexion became even paler.

Thinking of the chains between the four huge ever-bright lanterns and the immortal coffin, Lu Chen suddenly guessed the reason why Lan Yan and others could be resurrected indefinitely.

If he guessed correctly, the reason why Lan Yan and others could rely on those four huge ever-burning lanterns to be resurrected indefinitely.

It relies on Ji Ling'er's immortal body.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at Ji Ling'er with complicated eyes.

Because if everything goes as he thought, then the price Ji Ling'er has to bear... is a bit too high.

Perhaps aware of Lu Chen's concerned eyes, Ji Ling'er supported her weak body and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, brother Qinglian, Ling'er has long been used to it, just go back and take a nap..."

Hearing the other party's obviously weaker tone, Lu Chen said softly: "The reason why they can keep resurrecting is probably because of you, right?"

Ji Ling'er, who was half leaning on the coffin of immortality, nodded and said feebly: "Yes, I am the eye of this Changming Formation."

"I am an immortal. My longevity can be restored by absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Apart from being unable to practice, I am a nearly immortal existence."

"Coupled with the longevity coffin you built for me, Brother Qinglian, Ling'er can easily absorb even the spiritual power contaminated by Gang Nie and restore life span, so we can persist for such a long time."

"Did I build this eternal coffin?"

Lu Chen looked at the immortal coffin next to Ji Ling'er with some surprise. He didn't expect that he could still have this ability.

Ji Ling'er seemed to have just remembered that Lu Chen had no previous memories at this time. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Brother Qinglian, you told me before that when you and I meet again, I must not tell you too much about the past. things.”

"But if you really want to know, Ling'er can also..."

Before Ji Ling'er could finish her words, Lu Chen interrupted and said, "It's okay. Since I said that at the beginning, there must be a reason for saying that. You don't have to force it."

Ji Ling'er nodded and said nothing more.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Lu Chen said, "Then...what do you need me to do?"

Hearing this, Ji Ling'er seemed a little hesitant, unsure whether to speak.

But Lan Yan, who had been resurrected outside the door, walked in again.

"Taoist Priest Qinglian, we need you to destroy the statue of Black Lotus Buddha on the ground."

"Lan Yan!"

Ji Linger angrily scolded Lan Yan, seemingly dissatisfied with her decision.

But before Ji Ling'er could say anything more, she suddenly started coughing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen subconsciously supported her.

From Lu Chen's direction, he could clearly see the situation deep in the coffin.

Inside the coffin, Ji Ling'er's body was actually pierced by four chains.

The blood not only dyed her clothes red, but also continued to spread along the four chains.

Only then did Lu Chen truly understand how cruel the so-called Changming Formation was.

But thinking of Lan Yan's previous words, Lu Chen couldn't believe that Ji Ling'er could maintain this state for five thousand years.

I didn't expect that she could endure such pain just now and talk to herself for a long time without any abnormality.

Perhaps because she didn't want Lu Chen to see her embarrassment at this time, Ji Ling'er subconsciously covered the chains with her clothes.

Then he smiled and said, "It's okay. These are all of my own free will and have nothing to do with anyone else."

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't say anything more.

But the look in Ji Ling'er's eyes became more complicated.

He didn't dare to think whether he could last as long as Ji Ling'er if he and Ji Ling'er swapped places.

For her, immortality is not only not a good thing, but more like a curse.

What kind of belief has allowed her to persist until now?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately looked at Lan Yan and said, "General Lan, please tell me what to do."

Hearing this, Lan Yan was immediately happy, and then explained the situation seriously.

"Taoist Priest Qinglian, these black lotus sect evildoers rely on the statue of the Mother Buddha. Even after death, they can be resurrected next to the statue after a period of time."

"But unlike us who can be resurrected immediately by relying on His Majesty's immortal body, the golden elixir stage can only be resurrected once every five hundred years."

"So at first they were killed by us many times because they didn't know the existence of the Changming Formation."

"But in the past thousand years, they have figured out our situation, so they no longer fight to the death with us but instead turn to a war of attrition."

"Although Your Majesty has the coffin of immortality, her lifespan recovery speed has begun to fail to keep up with the consumption of our several battles."

"If this continues, we are worried that His Majesty will fall into a short-term coma due to insufficient life span."

"And once His Majesty's immortal body is gone, the eternal lamp in the imperial mausoleum will undoubtedly become a decoration."

"By then, let alone the Black Lotus Sect, we won't even be able to resist the black mist."

"And after we discovered this, we didn't think about taking the initiative and destroying the Black Lotus statue opposite."

"However, we can only explore a little bit in the dark fog when we hold a long-light lamp. And once we die on the ground, we can only resurrect underground and cannot get close to the statue of the Buddha."

"So we need someone to help us find the location of the Buddha statue and then find a way to destroy it."

"And the only person in this world who can walk alone in the black mist without relying on external objects... is you, Taoist Priest Qinglian."

After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood why he appeared here.

I also understand the dilemma Ji Ling'er and others are facing.

Ji Ling'er and others were like trapped animals trapped underground.

Although the Black Lotus Sect's gangsters won't be able to defeat them in the short term.

But they were able to eat away at Ji Ling'er's lifespan bit by bit through a war of attrition.

Ji Ling'er's lifespan loss rate cannot keep up with her lifespan recovery rate.

Sooner or later, there will come a day when the Changming Formation in the Imperial Tomb cannot be maintained.

At that time, it will be the moment when the Black Lotus Sect breaks through the Great Yan Emperor's Mausoleum.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen gently put Ji Ling'er down and let her lean on the immortal coffin.

He stood up.

But before he could take action, he saw Ji Ling'er grabbing the corner of his clothes.

It seemed that he didn't want him to go to the ground.

After all, Ji Ling'er didn't know that Lu Chen was in the dungeon at this time, nor did she know that he could be resurrected infinitely.

Therefore, he didn't want Lu Chen to take risks.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen patted the back of her hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Look at Lu Chen's calm look.

Ji Ling'er was in a trance, as if she saw what Lu Chen said to her when she was desperate.

‘Taoist Priest, what are you doing here? Will there be any danger? ’

‘Don’t worry, I’m just going to replace this Great Yan... with another emperor. ’

And everything was exactly as Lu Chen said.

The hot weather... completely changed after that night.

And her life began to have light from that day on.

Thinking of this, Ji Ling'er immediately let go of her hand and said seriously: "...Then Ling'er is here, waiting for the Taoist Master to come back."

"good."

Lu Chen nodded and walked straight out of the palace...

PS: I finished it on the 26th day. I was exhausted from doing field work today, which caused me to be a little late in coding. I’m sorry.
