第2話 half a talisman?

The night is like ink, dyeing the universe; the lone star is hard to find, and there is no light to shine.

The Falling Mountains.

This is a world located at the junction of the five major families. There are often fierce beasts, demon beasts, and even beast kings. It belongs to a no-man's land. Legend has it that in the center of the mountain range, someone saw the eternal red sea, which was filled with heavy pressure. In the red sea, there is a faint image of a phoenix...

In the dark forest, the cold wind is howling, the yellow branches and leaves are withering, and there is a gloomy rustling sound.

A figure quickly shuttled through the forest, and suddenly, he fell beside a tree with ancient texture. Blood oozed from his wound, like a string of demon red gems, dripping on the vines spreading along the way.

That figure was Lin Yi. He glanced at the bloodstains left on the ground, and his eyes were filled with sharp murderous intent.

Damn it! Even if I only had half of my Xuan Qi left, how could I fall to the situation where a tiger is bullied by a dog in a flat land?

Feeling that the Xuan Qi in his body had become so thin that he couldn't even stop the bleeding from his wounds, Lin Yi felt a little sad. He understood.

The bloodstains that could not be hidden would eventually expose his whereabouts, and the smell of blood would also attract a large number of monsters. He could only hope that the monsters would meet the black-clothed men chasing him before meeting him, so that he would have time to recover his Xuan Qi.

However, if a monster intercepted him in advance, the whole family would have a feast.

Uh uh, I almost forgot that I seemed to have no home now. .

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked behind him. His deep eyes looked through the woods shrouded in darkness. There seemed to be five black dogs chasing him.

At the same time, in the pitch-black darkness, there were countless dark eyes bursting with fierce light, staring greedily at this place.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, made a slight adjustment, and was no longer shaken by the distracting thoughts in his heart. He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward in the direction of the center of the Falling Mountains.

When passing through a dead and silent place, Lin Yi suddenly turned his head and saw a large area of ​​dark green light.

Countless branches and leaves extended strange tentacles, weaving into a dark net, slowly approaching Lin Yi.

Undead grass? ! How could such a thing appear here!

Lin Yi was horrified, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was the fear from the bottom of his heart.

This plant feeds on souls. No matter whether it is an animal, a fierce beast or a mysterious person, once it is targeted and entangled, the soul will be sucked away in an instant and eventually become an empty shell!

Lin Yi couldn't help but step back. He saw a pool of clear water in the area not far away, which seemed out of tune with the surrounding weird environment.

How could there be a lake here?

I can't care so much! If I don't hide, my life will be in danger! !

Lin Yi turned around quickly, took a big step, rushed away, and plunged into the lake.

The light became soft and hazy, and the water surged, gently caressing Lin Yi's body.

Hmm? This pool of water actually has a healing effect? ​​!

The moment he entered the lake, he could clearly feel that his injuries were healed in an instant, and even his Xuan Qi was restored to its peak at this moment.

Lin Yi could not help but be overjoyed.

However, he did not let down his guard. There were strange grasses outside the lake that could threaten his life at any time...

Even if my strength was improved by one level, I would not be its opponent.

Lin Yi sighed slightly in his heart.

Hmm? Why does the water flow here all flow in one direction?

Perhaps, is there another exit here? Lin Yi thought to himself.

So he followed the flow of the water and went down shallowly. After an unknown amount of time, he finally found that the water flow converged in an inconspicuous shallow gully at the bottom of the lake, forming a funnel-shaped dark vortex.

Lin Yi was very curious and slowly approached, trying to find out everything.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred! The suction of the vortex suddenly increased, and in an instant, Murong Xinju was swallowed up.

After that, the dark vortex became gentle again, and the bottom of the lake returned to calm again.

Ahhhhhhhhh.

Lin Yi felt that his body was out of control in an instant, as if he was being manipulated at will by someone. The feeling of the world spinning rushed into his mind, and he fainted directly.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Yi opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he was in front of a towering crystal.

Under the blue waves, there is a different world!

Lin Yi was shocked, and he looked up.

The entire wall of the palace was made up of crystal clear crystals, and each piece of crystal had fluorescent light flowing on it, flashing dazzling brilliance.

Huanyu Palace? Three striking large characters were carved on two crystal pillars that stood tall, with a vigorous and powerful stroke, and a magnificent momentum filled Murong Xinju's heart, which lasted for a long time.

Lin Yi slowly approached the palace, pushed open the door, and a cool breath hit him.

When he saw the scene in the hall clearly, his eyes stayed in the center of the hall.

A crystal coffin stood there, and inside it lay a frozen woman.

The woman's face was as white as snow and as delicate as a painting.

She was wearing a pure and flawless white dress, as light and elegant as a flowing cloud. Against the background of the faint blue light of the ice, she looked even more elegant and holy.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and the slender crescent lintel matched her high nose bridge, and the cherry mouth below formed a flawless outline, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

The purple waterfall naturally fell to both sides of her legs, and the pair of smooth and delicate slender white legs were like jade lotus roots in autumn, slender and graceful, tender and tight.

Seeing such a woman who was not worldly trapped here, Lin Yi sighed.

However, before he figured out everything here, he didn't dare to step forward to rescue her casually.

It's beautiful to be a hero saving a beauty, but without strength, it's nothing.

Lin Yi could feel that the aura of the ice coffin and the mysterious woman was unusual, so it was better not to provoke them.

Well, less trouble is worse than more trouble.

Lin Yi moved his eyes and looked at the palace in detail.

The decoration inside the palace was not prosperous, and it could even be said to be very monotonous, just made of ice crystals. Looking around, there were eight doors surrounded in an arc shape. The doors were tall and heavy, exuding an insurmountable majesty.

Lin Yi approached and found that each of the eight doors had a groove. They were different in color, red like fire, yellow like golden autumn, white like first snow, green like clear water, etc. Not only that, the shapes were also very different, some were twisted like vines, some were round like beads, and some were sharp like spears...

After Lin Yi tried to push the door to no avail, he decisively chose to give up.

Immediately, he moved to the side of the frozen woman, frowning and lost in thought.

Should I use mystical energy to bombard the ice coffin to save her? Not to mention how difficult it is, how can I explain all this to her when she wakes up? But if I don't save her, will I be trapped here forever?

Just when Lin Yi was worried, a flash of light caught his attention.

He moved his mind, lowered his eyes, and moved his steps carefully. He found the source of the light in an inconspicuous corner behind the ice crystal coffin.

It was a piece of ice covered with cracks, quietly wandering in an inconspicuous corner. If it weren't for the faint glow in the ice, Lin Yi really couldn't find it.

There is something in it!

At this moment, Lin Yi's eyes found the point of reference, focusing on the red and orange color.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the mystical energy covered his fist, and the fist wind whistled and hit the ice body.

With a "crack", the ice body instantly broke, and the items inside began to reveal their original appearance and were exposed to the air. It was a scroll and a... uh uh... half a talisman? Lin Yi first picked up the scroll and flipped it open. The breath of ancient times came, and there were a few big words printed on it. Hongmeng Heart Sutra. Chaos Origin Tracing Method? This seems to be the name of a cultivation method, and it seems to be very high-sounding? Seeing this, Lin Yi's breathing suddenly became heavy, how could he not understand. This time it might be a blessing in disguise, and he picked up a treasure! However, he was cautious and did not flip through it in detail at this moment, and was overwhelmed by the sudden happiness. He looked at the things around him from the corner of his eyes, fearing that something would change. The scene suddenly became silent. After a moment, seeing that nothing had happened, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the woman who was frozen and whose beauty was enough to overwhelm the city and the country. He raised the scroll in his hand, blinked, and pretended to be innocent.

"Although it is said that good things belong to those who see them, you seem to have your eyes closed at the moment, right...?"

"If you can provide evidence to prove that this thing is yours, I will return it to its original owner without saying anything..."

"If you don't say anything, I will take it as your tacit consent to give it to me."

"I won't ask for it in vain. When I have the strength in the future, I will definitely come here to rescue you."

Lin Yi patted his chest and vowed.

After a long time, seeing that the woman had no reaction, Lin Yi finally couldn't suppress the smile on his face and put away the scroll full of magic.

Then, he pinched a corner of the talisman and passed it over his chin. The talisman was very light and softened directly.

It can't even stand up, and it's so broken. It seems that this thing is not very useful.

Lin Yi thought secretly in his heart.

He had no choice but to spread the talisman in his palm, holding on to the tiny hope that he could study something useful from it.

After constantly turning and fiddling with the talisman that looked like a piece of shredded paper, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

Gu?

What Gu? Could it be that this talisman was used to control some ferocious beast?

He found that in the tattered talisman, he could only understand that one word, and the others were either strange patterns or symbols, large and small, covering the entire area

Bengbu lived.

Lin Yi shrugged and sighed. When he was about to throw the talisman away casually, a surprising scene happened.

The talisman was stuck to his palm like a cowhide plaster, and no matter how Lin Yi shook it, he couldn't get rid of it.

Just when he wanted to use the mysterious energy to destroy the talisman, the talisman inexplicably caught fire!

In an instant, the talisman burned out, and not even ashes were left.

No..... No?

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and the whole person seemed to be petrified.

At this time, a chill came.

A silver necklace surrounded Lin Yi's neck out of thin air, like a thin stream, flowing with a smooth texture.

What is this? Lin Yi's slender fingertips touched the sudden silver chain.

Before he could figure it out carefully, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be trapped here, and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how good the treasure is, it is useless here. How can I get out?

As if hearing what the boy thought, the silver chain flashed, and the surrounding scenery began to change.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Yi was surprised to find that he had walked out of the mysterious palace.
