Chapter 278 Wushen Bridge
More than thirty hours later, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu came out of the cave.
Now Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu's state looks very different from before.
Let's talk about Huan Yin first. He has now fully recovered to his peak state, and even his cultivation has improved slightly, as if he is about to break through.
As for Ruan Shushu, although she has not fully recovered, she now has the power of cultivation equivalent to the middle stage of spiritual wisdom, which is a world of difference compared to her previous situation. So now her complexion has improved a lot, and she no longer feels weak.
What allowed the two of them to recover to their current state within more than thirty hours was naturally the rich spiritual energy that rushed out of the Danfeng.
That spiritual energy is really mysterious. It is rich, needless to say, and it is very easy to absorb. It is like forcibly improving Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu's qualifications, greatly enhancing the efficiency of their breathing and absorption of spiritual energy.
Not only that, there are some other effects in the spiritual energy. Although they are not too obvious or specific, so Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu did not feel it very deeply, they both felt some abnormal movements in their bodies when absorbing spiritual energy.
For example, when Huan Yin absorbed the spiritual energy, he felt that the seal of his qualifications in his body had loosened. Although the loosening was very slight and had no substantial effect on him, it showed him the wonder of spiritual energy.
Huan Yin really wanted to know who was the great master who could refine such a pill. And if such a pill was taken by a cultivator when the medicinal power was complete, would it instantly improve the cultivator's cultivation to a big level?
Speaking of which, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu finally got a good fortune in the cave. Although this was not a huge improvement for them, it completely restored their condition, gave them more self-protection power in this dark world, and made their hope of rushing out of here much greater.
The light of Yin Luo Ghost Fire shone again. After Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu walked out of the cave, they both flew into the air and began to move quickly.
In the darkness, they had no idea where they were going, so they could only use speed to make up for it. The faster they went, the more places they could fly, and the greater their chances of finding a way out.
However, Huan Yin's Yin Luo Ghost Fire still didn't dare to be too bright. The two of them were also highly focused and kept looking around. After all, there were still dangers everywhere here, and they still couldn't use their spiritual sense to detect anything.
In this way, the two of them flew in the air for probably dozens of hours. Fortunately, there were countless spirit stones in Huan Yin's Qiankun bag, which allowed them to maintain fast flight without fatigue.
In these dozens of hours, they didn't encounter any strange things anymore. Except for the ground and each other, it seemed that everything else in this world had disappeared.
Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu didn't know whether this was good or bad. After all, the strange things here were too dangerous, and it was naturally good not to encounter them. However, if there is only darkness all the time, where is the way out they want?
Perhaps they have begun to have a little expectation of changes in these dozens of hours of dullness, so after this period of time, there was actually a sound of water flowing in the distance in front of them.
There is water in this dark world? What could it be?
After hearing the sound of water, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu moved forward a little and stopped. They must be cautious here, so now Huan Yin shot a fire dragon in front of him, instantly illuminating the surroundings and rushed out.
When the fire dragon rushed to the front, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu immediately saw that under the light of the fire, there was indeed water flowing from below, which looked like a river.
But before Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu could see more clearly, and even before they could see how wide the water flow was, Huan Yin's fire dragon suddenly dissipated on the water surface.
Ruan Shushu was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at Huan Yin with a puzzled look. With Huan Yin's cultivation, it is impossible that he cannot even control a fire dragon spell. The sudden extinction of the fire dragon must be due to Huan Yin's situation.
Huan Yin was also a little stunned. He said to Ruan Shushu: "The fire dragon lost contact with me after flying over the water. I don't know why it died. But the water flow is probably strange. Maybe it can seal the power of cultivation."
Sealing the power of cultivation is an extremely terrible experience for cultivators. After all, the biggest difference between cultivators and mortals is that cultivators have cultivation and can cast spells. If the power of cultivation is sealed, wouldn't it be equivalent to returning to the state of mortals, and years of cultivation will be destroyed?
Ruan Shushu's expression became a little solemn. She also cast a fire dragon spell in front of her, and this time, her fire dragon spell suddenly extinguished after flying over the water.
"It seems that there is really a very strong sealing force. I am afraid that even if my cultivation is intact, I still can't resist that power." Ruan Shushu gave her own judgment.
Huan Yin hesitated for a while, then he said: "Shushu, wait for me here, I'll go take a look."
Ruan Shushu directly reached out and pulled Huan Yin: "Let's go together."
Ruan Shushu knew what Huan Yin meant. Even if there was danger ahead, they had to explore it. After all, any variable could be a way out.
Huan Yin did not make any concessions to Ruan Shushu. After all the things they had experienced before, they had formed a tacit understanding. That tacit understanding was like dependence and companionship. It did not need to be expressed in words. Just advancing and retreating together was enough.
So, the two of them fell from the air carefully, and then slowly moved towards the direction of the water flow.
Soon, they stood by the water, and under the illumination of the blue light, they could clearly see the water flow in front of them.
This looked like just an ordinary water flow, which was a little turbid due to the mixture of mud and sand, making it difficult for Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu to see the situation under the water.
However, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu had not forgotten the scene of the fire dragon being extinguished inexplicably before, so they remained absolutely vigilant about the water.
Huan Yin took out an ordinary fairy sword from the storage bag and threw it into the water, just like when he threw the fairy sword into the dragon blood in the dragon body.
With a "plop", the sword entered the water, and then in the eyes of Huanyin and Ruan Shushu, the sword slowly sank and finally fell to the bottom of the water.
The water where Huanyin threw the sword was very shallow, so they could still see the situation of the sword. There was nothing strange about the sword, just like Huanyin threw the sword into ordinary clear water.
In any case, at least Huanyin can now be sure that the water is harmless. So he stretched out his hand and reached into the water.
It was cool and still felt like ordinary clear water flowing through his fingertips. However, this was only Huanyin's first feeling.
Next, Huanyin frowned. Because the part of his palm that was now under the water surface had completely lost the ability to perceive cultivation. This was a very strange experience. Most parts of Huanyin's body were still able to flow spiritual power, but only the small part under the water was completely sealed up, becoming a restricted area for the movement of his spiritual power.
"This water can seal cultivation." Huan Yin spoke solemnly to Ruan Shushu beside him.
Ruan Shushu also stretched out her hand after hearing Huan Yin's words, but she was not reaching for the water, but the air above the water.
Soon, Ruan Shushu also spoke: "Not only the water, but also the area above the water is still a restricted area for cultivation. It seems that there is a domain that seals cultivation in the part within the water."
What Ruan Shushu said now is the real situation of the waters near them, and it is also the reason why the Fire Dragon Technique suddenly disappears after rushing to the water surface.
Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu looked at each other, and then Huan Yin said: "Let's walk along the waterside and see if we can find something."
Ruan Shushu nodded, and then the two began to fly along the waterside.
They did not fly fast, and were extremely cautious, because it was the first time they encountered an area that could completely seal cultivation, and they could not expect what would be waiting for them in the dark.
The two flew for about an hour, and then the shadow of a bridge appeared in front of them.
Without hesitation, the two moved towards the shadow of the bridge. Soon, an old wooden suspension bridge appeared in the eyes of Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu. The bridge stood above the strange waters beside them, leading to the deep darkness.
The two stood at a distance from the bridge and observed for a long time. After making sure that there were no other strange things beside the bridge, they slowly moved over.
When the two really stood next to the bridge head, they finally saw the bridge clearly. This is an ancient suspension bridge that was built many years ago. The bridge deck is only more than ten feet away from the water.
The suspension bridge is made of wood, but Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu have never seen what kind of wood it is. It seems that the trees used to build the bridge do not exist in the human world.
The traces of antiquity are extremely obvious on the entire suspension bridge, but there is no sign of decay. Even the part below the water surface still looks well preserved.
On the left side of the bridge head, there is a tall wooden sign. The material used for the wooden sign is exactly the same as the bridge body. The wooden sign is covered with dense words, but the font of the words is strange. It is very similar to the word "Wu" that Huanyin saw in the stone chamber of the ruins before.
Huanyin did not recognize most of these words, and only occasionally he could recognize individual words. However, Huanyin was able to fully interpret the three conspicuous large words on the far right of the wooden sign.
Those three words are: Wushen Bridge.
