Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 49: Dong Hua Dungeon

When Qin Yi arrived at Longevity Temple, the Immortal Ascension Platform had collapsed. Li Qinglin was directing soldiers to put out the fire. The thick smoke made people feel uncomfortable.

In the smoke, 9 eunuchs could be seen lying at Li Qinglin’s feet. The killing scene was a little funny, so Qin Yi asked, “What’s the matter?”

Li Qinglin said with a smile, “Father came to deliver the decree. Well, of course they got lost. I never received any decree.”

Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. He returned the jade pendant to Li Qinglin, “Thank you Brother Li for the life-saving pendant. This flower is beautiful.” contemporary romance

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Li Qinglin didn’t say anything. Then, he said again, “I have arranged for people to disperse the martial law inside and outside the capital. As long as there is no tunnel leading to the outside of the capital dozens of miles away, it will be very difficult for Dong Huazi to escape. If there is such a long tunnel, I can only admit it. If the situation is stabilized, he will not be able to turn the tide.”

There shouldn’t be a tunnel that was tens of miles long. At most, it led to somewhere inside the capital. Qin Yi admired Li Qinglin’s meticulousness. With such a good teammate, the opponent really had a hard time to come back.

“So you called me here because you want to search in the dungeon?”

“En… just now I tried to send the smoke in, but I found that there was a strange array below. The smoke will return by itself. I tried to divert water, but it isn’t so fast to dig ditch. It is impossible for us to maintain the peripheral martial law for a long time. If we don’t get rid of him as soon as possible, the possibility of letting him escape will double.”

Qin Yi let out an “en“. With the protection of strange arrays, it proved that below would be the core place that could let people stay for long. For example, beastkin refining array and the like were likely to be all under this. Then there would be countless traps and arrays below, so Li Qinglin certainly didn’t dare to act rashly.

When he walked to the entrance, the scorched wood next to it had been removed by the soldiers, and the enclosure at the entrance had also been blown up, revealing dark stone steps that led downward.

Li Qinglin said from behind, “I believe it is nothing more than a trivial matter for Brother Qin to dispel the array. But in this environment, as long as Dong Huazi is in trouble, it is not difficult to bury all the people who go down alive. We must first make some plans.”

Qin Yi also worried about this. After watching too many TV and s, most of the dungeons had this kind of self-destruct method. It had almost become a rule, so it would be very dangerous to enter.

He pretended to walk around the entire environment to observe the situation as if talking to himself, “Is there a way?”

Of course, he was talking to Liu Su. Liu Su said, “Wu Earth Grand Array to tamp down the entire area so that it doesn’t collapse even if it’s self-destructive.”

There is such a powerful array? Qin Yi was a little guilty. He continued to think to himself, “Wu Earth Grand Array… my spiritual force may not be enough…”

“Your spiritual force is not enough, but you can make up for it with some useful spiritual objects.” Liu Su said, “In the ruins of the Immortal Ascension Platform, I saw countless good things at a glance. Many of them are suitable for use.”

Qin Yi thought: It feels good to kill Dong Huazi with the treasures he plundered. He acted like he had a flash of inspiration, ran back to the ruins to rummage through things, and shouted, “You, you, and you, go and move the wood away. Yes, move the cauldron over there… that, see the jade on the plaque? Pick that jade off…”

The army was moving at a high speed. In just a few moments, they moved everything Qin Yi needed neatly.

Qin Yi took a sword and pulled it out with a “chang“, a cold light suddenly appeared.

“It’s full of aura. Must have been refined.” Liu Su commented, “It’s not qualified as an enchanted weapon, but it’s not bad to use this aura to engrave the array patterns.”

Qin Yi followed the instructions, arranged the various items, and quickly outlined the array patterns in the middle. All the soldiers just stared at him blankly, drawing meaningless lines in a mess.

“Your Highness, he…” An old general frowned, “Is he another Dong Huazi?”

Li Qinglin raised his hand to signal him not to speak and smiled slightly, “Actually, Dong Huazi also has real skills. General Xie, what are you and I objecting to, don’t you know?”

“Yes, even if there is real skill, it will be of no benefit to the country.” The old general sighed, “I’m afraid that Your Highness will go on the same path if you are getting too close to this Qin Yi.”

Li Qinglin shook his head lightly, “I’m Li Qinglin.”

The old general was startled, nodded, and said nothing more.

But Li Qinglin suddenly held his forehead at this moment as if feeling a little dizzy. The old general hurriedly supported him, “Your Highness?”

“Oh, I’m fine.” Li Qinglin quickly recovered. He didn’t find any problems after checking his own body, so he said, “Maybe I’ve been mentally exhausted in recent days.”

The old general said, “After this matter, Your Highness needs to rest.”

But Qin Yi’s seemingly scribbled patterns unknowingly connected all the items arranged according to their directions into one, then the cauldron in the center suddenly shone. The light began to spread to the entire array through the patterns.

There seemed to be a creaking sound on the ground. It was obvious that there was a more solid feeling coming from it. Qin Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s done. The leylines have been fortified. We probably won’t be buried alive now… If some arrays at the bottom rely on the changes of the leylines, they might all be ineffective.”

“Thank you, Brother Qin.” Li Qinglin cupped his hand and took the lead to head down.

When Qin Yi was about to step down, he suddenly remembered something, looked up to the sky, and asked, “Tao Friend Ming He, not coming along to watch the good show?”

No respond. Qin Yi shook his head. He knew Ming He must be watching, but he ignored her and went into the dungeon.

The dungeon was not dark, but the path was inlaid with luminous pearls on the walls. After walking for a while, he suddenly came to a vast hall. Before Qin Yi could see what it looked like in the hall, Li Qinglin and his party stopped in their tracks.

Even though Qin Yi had been prepared, he was unavoidably shocked when he saw the ground full of beastkin bones.

The entire hall was outlined in the shape of an array of the Big Dipper with ghost faces on the left and right. Strange red smoke emanated from the mouths of the ghost faces. Amidst the red smoke, there were endless layers of corpses. Most of which could be seen in the shape of a human being, but they were somewhat different from human beings. They either had tails or wing bones. Each had different death, but the common point was that their bone marrows were broken in the middle as if something was extracted. It looked very miserable.

“This is forcibly squeezing out the newly condensed beastkin pellet of the bone marrow, which is extremely cruel.” Liu Su said, “This is an unrighteous way to kill beastkin, belongs to voodoo. The root of Dong Huazi is not tao spells, but voodoo art, even the malevolent one.”

Qin Yi then reminded Li Qinglin, “Brother Li, this is voodoo art, not tao spell.”

“Voodoo art?” Li Qinglin suddenly said, “It really is the West Savage Kingdom.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned again, “I’ve been exhausted recently. This thick smoke makes me feel a little uncomfortable, so let’s leave this hall first.”

Qin Yi then took out a talisman.

A low-level wind talisman.

A gust of wind surged around him as the center, blowing away all the dense smoke. Not only that, but it also blocked the ghost faces from spitting out more smoke.

This was really something that martial arts couldn’t do easily. Li Qinglin laughed, “Nice job, Brother Qin.”

Perhaps something was triggered by blocking the mouths. There was a tremor, and the whole hall seemed to be about to collapse. However, the hall couldn’t collapse except for some sand and stones falling lightly. There was a flame on the ground, but it couldn’t burn. The flickering small ember looked very pitiful.

It was the grand array that fortified the leyline that worked.

Even the old general Xie Yuan couldn’t help cupping his fist and bowing to Qin Yi, “Sir, you are truly a taoist. I apologize for my disrespect to Sir Qin before. Please don’t take offense.”

Qin Yi waved his hand without a hint of complacency, but he cautiously distributed some pills and talismans, “Voodoo often uses poison, and it may disturb the mind. Each person takes a detoxification pill and a talisman for backup.”

A few days ago, he didn’t just learn the useless technique of floating, but he did prepare a lot for combat. This was like the top support of the team. However, in fact, Qin Yi had no confidence in the possible voodoo arts ahead.

Because Liu Su said that it did not understand voodoo. It was completely different from what it had learned.

If there was any voodoo setup inside, no one would understand!
