Prohibition

Chapter 124 Restriction

Pan Muyun took out a feather blade from his arms and flashed it at him: "The one holding the sword can reach the sect master directly. Take us out first, and then we'll talk after we get out of the city."

He turned to look at Wu Hao and then at Zeng Jianqiu: "This is a clan matter, and it can also be regarded as your housework. Old Zeng——"

Wu Hao looked completely lost at this moment, sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out, looking only in the direction of the castle. Hearing them mention his name, he slowly turned around, met Zeng Jianqiu's eyes, smiled, and said what he just said again: "Oh, you are the second brother. Alas, I understand now. . I used to think about my father’s heart. It's great. There is no one with such poor qualifications and incompetence as me in the city. But my father has always kept me and will not force me to do this or that, and he will not send me to Coffin Mountain. So that's it... My second brother is still alive, so I shouldn’t count anything.”

Zeng Jianqiu looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, if you--"

Wu Hao raised his hand: "But since I can serve as a soldier in Coffin City, my qualifications outside are not bad, right?"

Zeng Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, thought again, and lowered his voice: "Yes. The qualifications to be able to serve as a suppressing soldier in Coffin City are considered very good among the thirty-six sects outside. Slowly endure the days and practice until you can refine your Qi. It is not a problem to reach the peak. Even in the Sword Sect, you can at least reach the stage of refining Qi and becoming a god."

Wu Hao was silent for a moment: "Second brother, are you talking about after you abolished your cultivation, or before?"

"after."

Wu Hao closed his eyes, covered his face with both hands, and rubbed his hair. After the bun was loosened, he cried twice and wiped his face hard: "Then destroy my cultivation. Otherwise, you will definitely kill me, right?"

When he said this, he started crying, and wiped his face again: "Don't laugh at me, I'm not crying because I'm afraid of death, and I'm not asking you to destroy me because I'm afraid of death. I am... I am... "

Li Wuxiang sighed, walked to him and squatted down, raised his hand and patted his shoulders and back: "Junior brother Wu, no one is laughing at you. I understand, I understand that I am not treated as a human being, just a functionary." It’s an object that I came to see, and it’s even been thrown out now. The outside of the real parish is pretty good, with magnificent mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about someone sending your wife to fill the coffin, right? Let me tell you, after you leave the coffin city, you will feel like... Ah, this is the taste of freedom——"

Wu Hao shook his head and turned to look at him: "I——"

But as soon as he said this word, his eyes widened, his head, neck, and back suddenly tensed up, he made two gurgling sounds in his throat, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

"Li Wuxiang——" Zeng Jianqiu took a step forward, but paused again, clenching his fists tightly with both hands.

Li Wuxiang put one hand behind Wu Hao's back and waved the other hand towards Zeng Jianqiu: "Brother, it's better for me to do this. Your method of abolishing cultivation is too rough. I can make people suffer less." It’s hard. We can’t take any risks in our current situation. If I don’t do this, no one will be at ease.”

Zeng Jianqiu sighed and nodded.

The usual way to abolish cultivation is very simple, that is, the energy goes retrograde and attacks the meridians and key points. To use a more vivid metaphor, the circulation of essence and energy can be regarded as a concrete blood vessel, with membrane valves inside to prevent backflow.

Essence is invisible and intangible, and the route it travels is naturally not some specific tubes, but part of the functions of the Baijie gods in the body are similar to that kind of membrane valve. The retrograde flow of essence will destroy all the knots. If you try to exercise your energy again, your breath will wander randomly, and naturally it will not be able to circulate.

Li Wuxiang, on the other hand, used gentler methods. Wu Hao has already established the foundation and has just touched the edge of Qi refining. Unlike Lou He and Zeng Jianqiu in the past, the energy in his body is vast. So his tentacles penetrated Wu Hao's body from his neck, first restraining his big acupuncture point so that he could not move, then restraining his Baijie Gods to block the circulation of essence, and then forcing all his essence to flow backwards to the lower Dantian. go.

Then, Yun Gong hit him hard in the lower abdomen!

Wu Hao's body tensed up again, and his lower Dantian was immediately shattered. Steam like mist spewed out from the seven orifices, and all the cultivation accumulated over more than ten years was destroyed.

Li Wuxiang then took back his hand and placed it on Wu Hao's veins: "Junior brother Wu, I disabled your lower dantian, but the Baijie Gods are still good. If you want to rebuild it in the future, you can't It just takes a little more effort to gather energy, take your time, take more elixirs, and build the foundation."

Wu Hao's face was ashen, and it took him a while to push his body up. He covered his stomach with his hands, as if he wanted to say a few harsh words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his whole face was immediately twisted in pain, and he could only gasp. Cool air.

Zeng Jianqiu walked up to him and patted his shoulder, but he didn't seem to know what to say, so he just sighed.

At this time, the piece of paper floated into a small alley. Zeng Jianqiu took a look and said that this place was already very close to the outskirts of Coffin City - the architectural layout of Coffin City had hardly changed since the city was built. It looked the same when he left, and it still looks the same now. It's just that inside the buildings People just change over and over again.

After another two quarters of an hour, the sky gradually dawned. At this time, the shredded paper circled several times and finally floated to the outermost edge of the coffin city.

There are no city walls in Coffin City. The city as a whole is almost circular. The outermost row of houses have courtyard walls facing outwards and doors opening inward. In fact, they look like slightly lower city walls. At this time, several people looked outside the illusion and saw that the end of the small road they were on was a dirt slope and a dense forest. They could even vaguely see the main road they came from through the branches of the trees.

But the paper began to swirl when it reached the end of the path, as if it encountered an invisible wall, or the breeze blowing the paper was limited to the coffin city. After regaining his breath, he was carried by the breeze and slowly drifted towards the city again.

Zeng Jianqiu said at this time: "It's a bit troublesome."

In fact, Li Wuxiang had already thought of it - when he was in Ranshan, he grabbed the piece of paper and wanted to go down the mountain immediately, but Xu Daosheng used his true shape map of the Five Mountains to use his magical power, and the entire Ranshan was immediately sealed, no matter what. No matter which direction he goes, he will eventually return to the Ranshan Sect.

He had thought before that Master Wu Shan must have the same magical power, but he never thought it would be so powerful - "Is the coffin city sealed?"

Zeng Jianqiu nodded solemnly: "When I left, he couldn't reach this point, but now he is a god."

"and you--"

"Thirty-three years ago, it was not difficult for me. This formation is actually about inviting the true spirit and reversing the earth's energy. But now I can't invite the true spirit from the True Form Sect." Zeng Jianqiu frowned and thought for a moment, "Take us Go out and report the news to the sect first. We are trapped now, but they don't know where we are. I still have a way to break the formation, but it will take some effort. Let's find a hiding place first. "

The hiding place was not difficult to find - as he was talking, the piece of paper was drifting to the corner of a house and got caught by the gnarled roots of an old tree beside the wall.

So Li Wuxiang asked a few people to stay where they were, just like he did when he wanted to attack Xu Daosheng last time, while he cautiously went to the house facing the street.

When he was in this illusion, it was as if he knew how to walk through walls and could enter the house with just one step. There were people in the house next to the old tree, so Li Wuxiang continued to explore three more houses. When the skin on his body was cut with scars by the illusion, almost revealing his golden hair, he finally discovered the second house from the east of this alley. There is no one at home—— All the furniture was evacuated, leaving only an empty room. According to Zeng Jianqiu, the family was either dead or seriously ill and was sent to rest in peace, so the yard was left vacant and reserved for future marriages. Ordinary people as a couple.

There were faint sounds of footsteps and clashing of soldiers at the entrance of the alley again. Li Wuxiang asked Zeng Jianqiu to carry Wu Hao on his back, and asked Pan Muyun and Helianji to be on guard. He then knocked the remaining bricks on the ground and immediately appeared on the street. , the next moment, several people turned into several black shadows and jumped into the courtyard wall.

This family entered the courtyard. In addition to the atrium, there was also a small backyard. A few people jumped into the backyard and stood there, holding their breath for a while to make sure they didn't disturb anyone. Zeng Jianqiu immediately put Wu Hao down. The four of them gathered together to discuss it carefully.

After saying a few words, Zeng Jianqiu jumped out of the courtyard wall again to see if he really couldn't get out of the coffin city.

Helianji, on the other hand, leaned on the wall and looked into the backyard of the family next door - Li Wuxiang had already discovered that this family had a brood of chickens, about eleven or two, scattered in the backyard. There was only one rooster, so Helianji chose a hen that looked about two and a half years old, and wrapped it with a sword string. The hen only had time to flap its wings a few times before it was immediately pulled over.

At this time, Pan Muyun had written a short letter and sealed it with wax pills. Helianji handed the hen to him, and he immediately put the feather under the hen's wing and tied the wax balls to the hen's feet.

Looking at the chicken again, the feathers on its body immediately became bright and shiny, as if it had become a rooster. He was initially frightened and a little sluggish, but now he holds his head high and flutters his wings, as if he can't wait to fly high.

At this time, Zeng Jianqiu jumped back from outside the courtyard wall: "We can't get out. The ground energy in Coffin City is not right. Fortunately, we didn't try to go out before, otherwise, if we took a step, the ground energy here would be disturbed immediately. , you will know where we are.”

Pan Muyun held the chicken with the feathers inserted in it: "Can this be released?"

"Yes. This formation only blocks things with sufficient energy, so that's no problem." Zeng Jianqiu took the chicken, leaned out of the wall and took a look. Seeing no one around, he immediately lifted it up - the hen flapped its wings violently, and several times He flew high into the sky with just one breath, and soon became a small black dot.

Only when the black spots disappeared did they feel relieved.

Zeng Jianqiu turned to look in the direction of the Mountain Lord's Mansion, then looked at Li Wuxiang: "I thought about what you said just now on the way, but I always felt that something was wrong. They want to arrest you, they want to arrest me, Senior Brother Lou is outside the teaching It can be done - find an opportunity to get the two of us together, and then call the people from the True Form Cult, and it will be done. Why take off your pants and fart to trick us into coming to Coffin City? "

Then he looked at Wu Hao, who was sitting against the wall with a depressed expression: "If he really took the bait for us, the variables in this matter are also huge. What if this kid didn't recognize us when he was on the boat? Or if he did, how dare he? Didn't you talk to us when you were young? Wuxiang, what would you do if it were you? I guess you would find a bold and careful person to tell us that he is Senior Brother Lou. We don’t believe him, so he immediately decommissions himself and then takes us to see Lou. He—this is what Brother Lou would do.”

"I am not saying this to excuse Senior Brother Lou. But we are trapped here now. Even if none of us can get out in the future, we still have to figure things out." Zeng Jianqiu took a deep breath, "Originally I didn't want to call you Come, but since we are all here, and we are all serious swordsmen, why not come and do something big - isn't it trapping us in Coffin City? Let's find Lou He and figure this out!"

Pan Muyun and Helianji looked at each other, thought for a moment, and immediately frowned: "It's not impossible to do this, but you have to plan carefully. Old Zeng, think about it carefully, you... Master Wu, what other methods do you have, please explain clearly Let’s find a way out - Junior Brother Li is definitely better at this than any of us. Junior Brother Li, do you think it’s okay?”

Lou He must be found, met, and asked.

But Li Wuxiang's own reasons were different from those of the three swordsmen. He has a great fondness for Jian Xia and plans to use Jian Xia as a force to protect him in this life. But the premise of all this is that he is still alive. At least now, he is unable to sacrifice his life for the Sword Sect.

However, for Lou He, he could take a risk.

After coming out of the stove, he wanted to find out what he was. After meeting Zhao Puppet and going to Ranshan before, he thought he had figured it out, but now he knew that his current state was most likely what Lou He wanted.

Who is Lou He? According to Zeng Jianqiu, even if he is not one of the best among the Five Mountains Zhenxing Sect, he is definitely among the best practitioners in the world. If what happened to him and Zhao Puppet was a trap he had set up more than ten years ago, it means that the importance of his golden body and skin has exceeded what he should have in Lou He's heart. A bright future——

He is about to become a god when he is in his twenties! With such qualifications and realm, is it necessary to turn into human skin and cultivate incense?

This skin of yours must have other, more important values!

So Li Wuxiang nodded: "Okay, I agree. Brother Zeng, please tell me first -"

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a look of surprise on the faces of Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, and Helianji - the three of them were stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked around together, as if they were looking for something, and the words in their mouths Still mumbling to himself...

No, they were not mumbling, but talking. The voice should not be quiet, but he couldn't hear what they were saying!

Li Wuxiang felt cold all over and immediately released the flying sword - he might have fallen into some kind of trap or restriction!

But as soon as the flying sword circled around him twice, he noticed something strange about the three swordsmen - their movements began to become slower and slower, as if it was extremely difficult to move and speak, and even their expressions became... Stiff.

Just as he glanced at it twice, Zeng Jianqiu and the other three had a few difficult words in silence, and then moved to the courtyard wall, as if they wanted to climb out of the wall, but at this time their movements were as stiff as puppets. Usually, he only lifts his legs, feet and arms before falling to the ground, and then becomes as motionless as a wooden sculpture, not even turning his eyes.

Li Wuxiang held his breath again and listened next door - he could still hear the crows of the free-range chickens across the wall.

It wasn't him who fell into any restriction...but Zeng Jianqiu and the others!
