Chapter 373 372 Upside-Down River, Strange Shadow
The river tide swept across, but it was not as uncomfortable as imagined. Instead, it was very gentle. The tide surrounded the Song River, and in an instant, they arrived at a strange place.
When he stood firm, his consciousness had already been released, and he saw the surrounding situation clearly——
He stood on a gray-blue river tide, with gray-blue mist lingering under his feet and around him to ensure that he would not fall into the river tide.
The surroundings are vast, with no sky, no ground, no boundaries.
As far as the eye can see is the gray-blue river tide.
They flow without any ripples, silently, until the end of countless years.
This vast scenery shocked Song He.
The scenery and experience are also quite rare experiences for the monk. After witnessing all this, he will naturally have some thoughts and ideas in his heart.
For example...the Four Seasons Treasure Light Tree in the Mi Shen Tree.
He seems to know how to regulate the earth veins.
He watched quietly for a while before suddenly thinking of something - where were the four people who followed in? Why are they missing?
"!!!"
It's not a good thing to get separated as soon as you come in. He doesn't have to worry with the Zhouguang River Guide, but if those few people encounter any danger, they will be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, he was just about to cast a spell to search, but a voice sounded not far away. The voice was a little... immature, sounding like a child.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I'm here!"
Hearing the sound, Song He immediately followed the sound.
Soon I saw a girl wrapped in a light white halo in the river tide.
Wearing a wide Taoist robe, she fell into the river tide and looked at Song River helplessly.
Song He: "..." Isn't this Fellow Taoist Yuan Xi from Tianji Sect?
He confirmed the identity of the other party through the mana breath and the scent bracelets carried by the four of them. However, she was a girl just now, how could she become a child now?
He thought about it, and decided to use the Zhouguang River to rescue him first. After making sure that the other party was fine, he said, "Fellow Taoist, what are you...?"
Yuan Xi sighed softly.
She also knew her current situation, so she could only shrink the Taoist robe quickly and said with a wry smile: "I encountered a reverse tide when I came in. I didn't have time to prepare and ended up like this, which made my fellow Taoists laugh."
Although her voice was bitter, she didn't have much of a problem.
Because although the age-reversing tide can reduce a person's size and age, in other words, it can also make people experience the physical state of their youth.
The mana remains the same, but the body changes.
This is a rare experience for many monks, and it is much more powerful than the flowing spirit wine that Song He took.
Anyway, for the monks, as long as their magic power does not change, there is no problem with the change of body shape, especially for someone like Yuan Xi who has not practiced physical skills, it has no effect.
So Song He didn't think much about it.
He said: "My fellow Taoist from far away will stay with me for now. The first priority is to find the other two fellow Taoists."
"I can help fellow Taoists find them."
Naturally, Yuan Xi would not refuse. She even took out a compass and fiddled with it. The pointer pointed to the distance in the flickering light.
The monks of Tianji Sect are all good at divination.
Finding people like this... is an entry-level subject.
Even in such a strange space, there are traces to follow.
"Fellow Taoist, this move saves a lot of trouble." Song He smiled.
"It's just a small skill, nothing worth mentioning." Yuan Xi smiled back.
The two of them walked towards the distance one after another.
They did not notice that the unchanging river tide around them seemed to begin to flow abnormally, and there were black figures running and walking under the river tide.
…
After half a stick of incense.
With Yuan Xi's help, Song He quickly found Yi Chen and Gan Ye. Both of them were just trapped in the river tide and were not in any serious trouble.
As soon as they came in, they used the strongest protection methods, one was a golden bell shield, and the other was a seamless sword barrier.
In order to make it easier for Song He to find them, both methods have dazzling sound and light effects. The dazzling golden Buddha light and the sword energy rising into the sky can be seen from a long distance away.
After the four people reunited, they continued to search for the last person.
But this time it didn't go well.
Yuan Xi's compass showed that the man was in the east, but not long after Song He and his party walked towards the east, they encountered a bunch of river tides hanging upside down.
It seems to be a tributary extending from the river tide below, but it does not flow normally, but flows upward, forming an upside-down river.
If that's all it is, it shouldn't be much of a hassle to go around it, and it will only take a little more time at most.
But the problem is...there are actually images of four people in this river tide!
Although the picture was not very clear due to the surging river tide, the features of several people could still be seen, and the panic expressions on their faces could also be seen.
He ran away in a hurry like a prodigal dog.
The few people watching were very angry.
They are all core disciples of various sects. They are the most favored disciples in the entire Tianyun world. They each have enough treasures to escape unscathed. However, the scene is so panicked?
"It's just an illusion." Yi Chen held a long sword with a disdainful expression.
As a sword cultivator, the last thing he cares about is these so-called prophecies and secrets.
This is the consistent style of their sect.
Even because of this concept, they disliked the cultivators of Tianji Sect - one did not believe in destiny and thought they were all charlatans, and the other thought they were sword madmen who did not believe in destiny.
"Don't say that, fellow Daoist."
Yuan Xi retorted: "The River of Cosmic Light carries the past and the future. Perhaps this is the scene we will encounter in the future.
Although fellow Daoist does not believe it, this is not a good thing. Then let me tell the fortune once, and it won't waste time."
When she said this, she was looking at Song He. She knew very well that Song He was the core of the team, so she naturally had to get the support of Song He and another person.
Song He nodded: "Please trouble fellow Daoist Yuan Xi."
Gan Ye also nodded and said: "There are many strange things in this place. With fellow Daoist's Tianji magic, maybe we can take fewer detours."
After the two said this, Yi Chen stopped talking.
He was not angry, but he felt it was not important.
And... to be honest, he didn't really believe that the fortune-telling technique would work here.
He didn't believe it, but Yuan Xi was full of confidence.
She straightened her robes, and suddenly a huge turtle shell appeared under her. She sat on the turtle shell, holding a small turtle shell in her hand, and shook it gently without casting any spells.
Black and white mist filled the turtle shell.
A mysterious breath was rising.
"Hua La La!"
The turtle shell was shaking louder and louder.
After a while, a stick fell out of it.
The stick was very strange, it was golden, as if it was coated with a layer of flowing gold.
Although Song He and his friends didn't know much about divination, a golden stick was a good thing, right?
But Yuan Xi's expression was very bad.
Her face was wrinkled, and her fingers holding the stick seemed to be trembling. The turtle shell in her hand had broken into a pile of ashes.
"This... this is the source sign!"
"What is the source sign?"
"..." Yuan Xi took a deep breath, took the sign in his hand, and read the words on it: "No worries when you are young, no one to support you when you are young, no one to rely on when you are old."
This meaning is easy to understand.
But, what does it mean to have such a sign in such an environment?
The three of them frowned.
"Don't play dumb!" Yi Chen couldn't help but say: "What does the source sign mean?"
"This is the first time the source sign has appeared since I started practicing Taoism, but according to my master, once it appears, it will definitely come true."
"It will definitely come true?" Song He stroked the colorful jade river guide in his hand, but his eyes stayed on Yuan Xi.
Since his magic power was raised to the Nascent Soul, his magical powers have also become much stronger. Since Yuan Xi was fortune-telling just now, Song He felt that her emotions were extremely unstable.
The emotions visible to the naked eye can be materialized with just a hand gesture.
Such violent emotional fluctuations are not good for any cultivator. He doubted whether Yuan Xi had been penetrated by something.
This place is the River of Cosmic Light.
Since ancient times, fortune tellers have been most afraid of time. Time is so terrifying that it can wash away all traces of the existence of things. To be fair, he does not trust Yuan Xi's hexagrams.
He has the same idea as Gan Ye.
After the sturdy monk put his hands together and silently chanted the Buddha's name, he shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as inevitability in this world, Mr. Yuan, do you believe it?"
He is so sturdy, but his eyes are as pure as a child, and his inner heart is like a pool of clear water. Just staring at Yuan Xi makes the latter feel very uneasy.
"I don't believe it either, but..." Yuan Xi sighed and took out another tortoise shell from her sleeve. When she was about to try again, Song He stopped her.
"Friend Yuan, something is wrong with your situation." He said seriously, "Do you feel unstable?"
Yuan Xi's movements stopped suddenly.
She frowned, took out a few copper coins, muttered something, and scattered the coins directly.
Each copper coin was surrounded by a green luster, and they were intertwined with each other, as if to form a shield.
Bronze represents the creation of the earliest civilization. Whether it is the mortal world or the immortal world, there is a tradition of casting objects with bronze. It is a treasure that can last forever under the erosion of time.
She wanted to check her body in this way.
However, the next second, a sudden change occurred.
The illusory river tide suddenly rose, raising a wave, and directly swept Yuan Xi in, and the light of the copper coins was dimmed.
"!"
"Stop!"
"You dare!"
The three of them had already taken action the moment the wave appeared. The colorful light, the golden Buddha light, and the sword energy were sacrificed at the same time. Although there was no communication, they cooperated very well.
The sharp sword energy cut off the river tide, and the gray-blue mist in the colorful light resisted the erosion of the river tide. Finally, the golden Buddha light protected Yuan Xi inside.
At the same time, Song He continued to activate the Zhouguang River in the colorful jade, swaying and releasing more gray-blue mist.
With four measures, the river tide was finally barely blocked.
But the river tide did not return home, but turned into streams, surrounding the barrier formed by the gray-blue mist, like a living spirit snake.
There was no sound, but it brought great pressure.
It seemed that in just a moment, the things around suddenly "came alive", they began to repel several outsiders and showed their claws.
"Why is this?"
"Why did this happen suddenly?"
Yi Chen and Gan Ye, who were in the barrier, really had no place to use their strength. The source of power for this barrier was Zhou Guang He Yin, and even if they wanted to contribute, they could not.
Song He felt the pressure of the support and felt that it was obviously not okay to support it like this, so he decisively took out a small tree from the Mi Shen Tree and quickly retreated to the back.
After the small tree broke away from his palm, it fell down. The soil wrapped around the roots was black as if it was about to ooze oil and water, and it took root as soon as it landed.
It quickly sprouted branches and grew into a giant tree that three people could hug, and Zhou Guang He Yin just happened to fall at the crown of the giant tree.
The branches and leaves quickly wrapped around it, and a flower bloomed and closed, and Zhou Guang He Yin was wrapped in the flower.
It was still emitting wisps of gray-blue mist.
The tree, which had exactly the same spiritual power as Song He, took on the task of supplying spiritual power to Zhou Guang He Yin.
In this way, Song He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He has a lot of power, and he has the Mi Shen Tree as a backing, but he can't be distracted when supplying power, which is a big problem.
That's why he used this "transplantation" technique.
The Lingyuan Tree replaced himself. As long as the power of the Lingyuan Tree is not exhausted, he doesn't have to worry about the failure of the Zhouguang River.
With his hands free, he glanced at the current situation.
Yuan Xi, who was rescued, has fainted. Gan Ye is knocking with a wooden fish. The warm Buddha light forms a scripture and flows towards the unconscious female cultivator.
The healing method of Buddhism is still trustworthy.
Yi Chen is holding a long sword and is on guard.
Song He rubbed his temple with a headache and sighed deeply.
This... Is this Yuan Xi really the core of Tianjimen, the next generation of Tiansuanzi?
Why did such a change happen just after entering.
It's okay that she didn't find all the people, but she fainted. If this goes on, can the Zhouguang River still be explored? Is it just like this?
He was a little entangled for a while.
But everyone present could panic, except him.
‘Forget it, let’s wait until Yuan Xi wakes up. ’ He chose to sit down and take a rest, and take a look at the jade slip given by the Four Seasons Treasure Light Tree.
Maybe there will be a solution in it?
“Don’t panic.”
He said this, and just as he took out the jade slip and was about to take a look, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if someone was watching him, spying on him.
This bad feeling made him look outside immediately.
I saw a figure appear outside the gray-blue mist cover at some point.
The man was wearing a complicated robe, with a handsome and beautiful appearance, and was smiling. He looked at him motionlessly, with starlight flashing in his eyes.
He looked exactly like Song He! (End of this chapter)
