After Qi He and Shen Yu left, Shen Sheng was the only one left in the palace, and for a moment he felt a little lonely.

In the palace, Shen Sheng was still worried about where Shen Yu would go. Suddenly he wanted to sense something. He hurriedly walked into the secret room. There was a clear spring inside. The spring was inlaid with the same stones that Shen Yebai saw in the box that day. .

Ripples appeared on the water curtain, and Shen Mo appeared inside with his eyes closed to relax.

"Ancestor." Shen Sheng bowed first and then asked doubtfully, "Do you have any instructions to convey to General Qi?"

"No."

Shen Mo slowly opened his eyes: "I heard that Shen Yu is missing?"

Shen Sheng felt that there was something in his words, and immediately said anxiously: "Xiao Yu just can't bear the corpse of Emperor Yan to be left outside, and has no other meaning. This junior will find him as soon as possible, you..."

"You seem to be afraid of me." Shen Mo interrupted him lightly.

"No, I..."

"I don't need flattery, I've been in that position, and I can still tell the difference between truth and lies."

Shen Sheng was dumbfounded and admitted with a wry smile: "Yes... junior... a little scared."

Not to mention the age difference between him and Shen Mo, after finally stabilizing the Southern Kingdom, he received various orders from Shen Mo that he could not refuse, and even took the initiative to send troops to Xizhou... He knew that Shen Mo wanted a lot, so he was even more afraid. Because if it doesn’t happen, it will be another four-continent war.

But the South cannot withstand the second war.

"I know what you are worried about." Shen Mo said quietly, "Father also entrusted the Southern Kingdom to me, but there are some things I must do, otherwise I will really harm the Southern Kingdom."

Shen Sheng was silent, he still didn't understand, but as a grasshopper, he could only choose to believe Shen Mo, and had no other choice.

Shen Mo knew that now was not the time to explain, so he changed the topic: "If Shen Yu wants to find Shen Yan's bones, let him find them. I will ask Zuo Shu to help him."

Shen Sheng knew Zuo Shu's strength. With her, Shen Yu's safety was guaranteed, which made Shen Sheng feel at ease.

"Thank you for your love, ancestor." Shen Sheng said gratefully.

"Okay, don't talk about these scenes." Shen Mo frowned, remembering his purpose of contacting Shen Sheng this time.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Last time I asked you to check Qin Moyu's life experience...did you find out clearly?"

"Checked it out."

Shen Sheng nodded: "Although it has been so long, the locals still have some impressions of the old Taoist priest. They all praise him for his kindness. If he had picked up the child, he would have raised him. But there is something strange..."

"What's up?"

"It is said that the old Taoist priest was seriously ill at that time. He was looking for someone to take care of the child. He had already agreed with a family, but when they went to pick up the child, the old Taoist priest's face suddenly became red again, and the child did not come with them. Go back. And from that day on, the old Taoist priest's temperament changed drastically, and the friends he had made in the past were no longer in contact, as if he had been taken away..."

But this is obviously unreasonable. Who would take away the body of an old and poor Taoist priest?

"...I know, it doesn't matter if his temperament changes drastically, as long as he is sure that he is that child." After Shen Mo confirmed what he wanted to know, he fell into memories.

The woman in the aqua blue velvet skirt handed over the child to her father, but by some mistake, she was one step away.

He thought for a long time, and finally sighed resignedly and said: "That's all... we owe him after all... You can send someone to pick up someone from me later."

"Yes." Shen Sheng agreed on the surface, but was surprised on the inside. He was always alone in Shen Mo's cave. The person he was asked to pick up last time was Shen Yebai. Who will it be this time?

"He is seriously injured. You prepare your things. You don't want to recover as before, just save your life. But remember to keep his identity secret and don't tell anyone."

"yes."

Don't ask, don't be curious, don't question, this is Shen Sheng's attitude towards Shen Mo.

Some things are better not to ask.

…

In the land of the abyss, there is muddy blood and soil on the outside, but there is endless yellow sand as you go inside. And the further you go in, the bigger the wind and sand become. When you get to the back, the wild sand rolled up makes it difficult to see the road, let alone The glowing fire floating in the sandstorm can be said to be on the tip of a knife every step of the way.

Qin Moyu was not afraid of the fire, but the wind and sand really blocked their progress.

Qin Moyu was close to Shen Yebai, and the strong wind blew his robes loudly, because the use of spiritual energy in the abyss will attract the fire. Although the red lotus karma fire is not afraid of the fire, the spiritual energy will be consumed a lot. Quickly, after careful consideration, the two of them still didn't use spiritual energy as a shield.

"Yebai—it's not an option to continue like this—"

In order to prevent the wind and sand from entering their noses and noses, both of them covered half of their faces with face towels. No matter how loud Qin Moyu shouted, it was muffled.

"Go this way——"

After many observations, Shen Yebai found that these sandstorms looked chaotic, but in fact they swept in one direction regularly, so he pulled Qin Moyu to the left.

As soon as he started walking, Qin Moyu clearly felt that the wind and sand were stronger here, and the feeling of sand hitting his face was very uncomfortable, but he believed that Shen Yebai would not be stupid and lead him to walk on a difficult road.

Sure enough, after surviving the wind and sand and moving forward, the wind and sand became much smaller. It was no longer as suffocating as before, and it was within the acceptable range of people. However, at the same time, there was more fire.

"Where are we?" Qin Moyu asked with a frown, looking at the sand flying all around.

"We should have arrived at the center." Shen Yebai brushed off the sand on Qin Moyu's face. Seeing the red marks left by the scraping of sand on his face, Shen Yebai regretted agreeing to take the road to the abyss.

Qin Moyu nodded and looked around. There was a lot of fire here, like bamboo shoots springing up from the ground in clusters after a rain.

"Let's take a rest here." Although Qin Moyu is eager for revenge, he also knows how to use caution. The abyss is dangerous, and he doesn't know how long it will take before he can get out. He must take the time to rest if he can.

"Okay." Shen Yebai naturally had no objection.

Because the environment in the Abyss becomes worse as you go deeper, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night, so he doesn’t know how many days it has been since he entered the Abyss. However, Qin Moyu, who has not experienced such harsh environment and trekking, can’t tell the difference between day and night. Visible fatigue.

Qin Moyu then used the red lotus karma fire to circle a circle to prevent any rays of fire from floating between the two of them, and then took the time to take the elixir.

It stands to reason that there will be spiritual energy everywhere in this world, it just depends on whether there is more or less spiritual energy. But the strange thing is that the spiritual energy in the abyss is so weak that it is almost non-existent. This is an extremely abnormal situation.

Therefore, Qin Moyu, who was unable to replenish his spiritual energy from the outside world, could only choose to take pills. Fortunately, he knew how to make pills, so the pills in his storage bag could be consumed for a long time.

Shen Yebai was used to traveling around four continents before. Although it was his first time to cross the abyss, he adapted well to the harsh environment, so he still had time to look around when Qin Moyu rested.

From Shen Mo's unknown words, Shen Yebai guessed that the Four Continents War must be related to Shen Mo's enemy, but Shen Mo had never told Shen Yebai who that enemy was. This rare visit to the center of the abyss might be an opportunity. , we can use this to know who the enemy Shen Mo is afraid of is.

He probably never thought that someone could overcome all the dangers and reach the center of the abyss, which really made Shen Yebai realize that something was wrong.

He found that although the Yuhuo looked like it was emerging from the ground for no reason, Shen Yebai sensed the spiritual energy in the wind and sand rushing into the ground before it emerged from several fixed points.

"Mo Yu, can you use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to clear that area of ​​Yu Fire?" Shen Yebai asked, pointing in one direction.

"Okay." Qin Moyu didn't know why, but he still drove the red lotus fire and found something wrong.

The glowing fire floating in the air melted immediately when it encountered the red lotus fire, but the glowing fire was very tenacious. It took Qin Moyu a little effort to eliminate the glowing fire.

After the Yu Fire was melted by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the sand on it disappeared, slowly revealing a white skeleton.

This skeleton is different from what I have seen before. The palm-sized skeleton is crystal clear and reveals holiness. However, this skeleton has black and very small characters scattered all over the skeleton like sesame seeds. It is extremely weird. .

Shen Yebai looked at the skeleton and felt that these characters looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Before he could remember, he heard Qin Moyu exclaim.

"This is... a formation?!"

Shen Yebai turned around suddenly. It turned out that after the skeleton appeared, Qin Moyu used the red lotus karma fire to stir up the surrounding area in a small area. Although it consumed a lot of spiritual energy, it also cleared away the surrounding fire and sand. What was revealed was Qin Moyu's ten thousand Unexpected.

They saw countless interlocking small formations radiating outwards within ten meters with Qin Moyu as the center. The intersection of the small formations was the skeleton. Judging from the trend of the small formations extending outward, they were probably seeing Just the tip of the iceberg.

Chen Yebai suddenly remembered where he had seen the characters on the bones. With his heart beating like a drum, he squatted down and placed his palms on the small formations, and at the same time scratched the back of his hands with the blade.

Scarlet blood immediately seeped out from the wound, dripping down the back of his hand, and finally fell on the formation.

"Ye Bai, what are you doing?" Qin Moyu asked confused.

"Shhh."

Shen Yebai shook his head, pointed at his bleeding hand and said, "Look."

Qin Moyu looked down at the blood flowing out of Shen Yebai's wound - he saw that the blood fell on the formation, and was instantly swallowed up by the formation. It gave off a glimmering light, and in just a moment, a cluster of Yu was condensed on the bones. Fire, while sand continued to gather, covering the formation and bones.

"This is..." Qin Moyu looked at this scene blankly and lost his voice in surprise.

"This is the spirit gathering array. It was originally used to gather spiritual energy to repair the chain - but obviously, someone has modified it. Now it is not just about absorbing spiritual energy."

Shen Yebai suppressed the surprise in his heart and slowly exhaled a breath: "It's still absorbing human flesh and blood."

"The Four Continents War back then was indeed deliberately provoked by someone."

"The Land of the Abyss has been a conspiracy set up by those who set up the formation from the beginning, using the formation to absorb the flesh and blood of thousands of people."

People in this world will have spiritual energy in their bodies from birth. The higher the level of cultivation, the higher the spiritual energy contained in flesh and blood. However, using flesh and blood to cultivate the chain is disgusted by everyone. Whenever such a person appears, he will be spurned and pursued. Killing, and using flesh and blood to repair the chain often led to losing one's mind and falling into madness, so this method of repairing the chain quickly declined and disappeared, and such a huge formation was unheard of.

If this formation was for cultivating the chain, then an ordinary poultry could reach the Tribulation Stage. However, after the Four Continents War, no Tribulation Stage monks appeared at all. So where did the aura refined from flesh and blood go?

What are the people setting up the formation going to do?

Shen Yebai felt a chill down his spine for no reason.
