Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 9: It seems that an old friend of Sha Mo has come
After hearing the voice calling "Lady Yao Ji", the already dazed Yan Lili's pupils suddenly dilated and he woke up, as if he was bitten by a poisonous snake. However, the red color in his eyes had not yet faded, just like the candlelight on the stone wall, dim and flickering, which was quite strange.
First, he noticed the pile of bones not far in front of him. He widened his eyes in disbelief and covered his mouth with his hand, but he couldn't hide his horror: "Oh my God, I, I killed someone?"
She took several steps back, her feet going limp and she fell down against the stone wall. At this moment, Ying Lili felt a surge in her throat and she was nauseous. From childhood to adulthood, she didn't even dare to do anything to animals, let alone kill people, and this time she was going to kill several people!
This, this, what on earth is going on? Ying Lili looked at her own slender hands in horror, unable to believe that she had killed so many people in an instant.
After another round of dry heaving, Ping Lili held onto the stone wall and actually felt a little dizzy.
Ping Lili suddenly felt that he had committed a serious sin, and he started muttering "Amitabha Amitabha" and other nonsense.
The hoarse voice behind him came clearly again: "Lady Yao Ji?"
This drew Ying Lili's attention back and made her suddenly remember her current situation. Her eyes wandered around and finally found the black iron short blade that had just been bounced away. She put the short blade back into the scabbard with trembling hands and stuffed it back into her jeans pocket. Then she stroked her chest, as if trying to calm the surging waves in her stomach, and slowly walked towards the calling voice until her eyes met another pair of equally clear eyes.
"Who are you?" Ping Lili finally found her voice, but it was extremely hoarse and dry.
"Are you really Lady Yao Ji?" There was an inexplicable light flashing in the other person's eyes at this moment. If Ping Lili did not misunderstand, it was a kind of ecstasy.
A name flashed through her mind for a moment, but she quickly rejected it. It couldn't be that person. That person wouldn't make himself so embarrassed. What's more, it was still a question whether that person had returned to the Void World.
So, who is this person?
Ping Lili frowned. She didn't think she would meet any acquaintances here. What was strange was why this person could call out Yao Ji's name?
It was not until she walked to the stone door that she noticed that this stone door was different from the previous ones. On the seemingly ordinary stone door, there was a green light floating, as if there were thousands of talismans suppressing it. Who was this person? Why was he detained here so carefully?
A myriad of doubts suddenly arose in Pinglili's mind.
So she stood still in front of the stone gate , not saying anything and not revealing her identity, as if she was waiting for the other party to give her a reasonable explanation. It seemed that the previous lesson had finally taught Ping Lili to be a little cautious.
The man seemed to see through the doubts in Ying Lili's eyes, and spoke hastily, "Lady Yao Ji, I am the wizard Sha Mo. The Nether Butterflies sent a message earlier, and were shocked to hear that Lady Yao Ji had been reincarnated. Sha Mo City sent all the Nether Butterflies to the world to look for you, but to no avail. Your spirit suddenly appeared that day and then disappeared again. The Great Elder guessed that you might have returned to the Void World, so he sent several people to sneak into all the city-states where you might appear, and secretly investigate your whereabouts. I was sent to Yonghui City by the Great Elder."
Ping Lili raised her eyebrows slightly and asked half-doubtfully, "Who is the great elder you are talking about?"
The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw the puzzled look on Gong Lili's face, and almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person. However, he quickly reacted and was able to confirm her identity by seeing that she had just used the Netherworld Fire. That was the legendary unique skill of Lady Yao Ji.
"The Great Elder is your senior brother five hundred years ago, Lord Wusu." He patiently explained to her. Ping Lili noticed that when he mentioned the Great Elder, his tone was extremely humble and respectful.
Wu Su? Senior Brother? Ping Lili quickly searched for this name in her mind, and she remembered the conversation between Yao Ji's spirit and herself. Could the so-called senior brother Wu Su be the one who sealed Yao Ji's spirit for five hundred years?
"Since you are here to look for someone, I guess your skills must be pretty good. How did you fall into the hands of the Ruoye tribe?" Ying Lili seemed to have thought of a more important question, and she asked cautiously.
“To be honest, I was quite confident in my skills. Following the orders of the Great Elder, I sneaked into several places in Yonghui City where you might appear, but found nothing. I was unwilling to give up, so I finally took the risk and went to the palace of the Prince of the Ruoye tribe alone. However, I didn’t expect to fall into the trap of that witch. That’s why, that’s why…” At this moment, Ping Lili noticed that there was some resentment in the other party’s eyes when he mentioned the witch.
"Is she their Crown Princess?" That charming face flashed through her mind again. It's true that one can't judge a person by appearance! In her heart, Ping Lili was impressed by the other party's methods. She could play with everyone in her hands. It seemed that she was really a powerful character.
"Um."
After hearing the other party's answer, Ping Lili sighed in self-mockery. She suddenly felt a sense of being a fellow wanderer in the world, so for some reason, she decided to believe this person.
In fact, she had no better choice, but looking at the deep and gloomy appearance of this stone prison, there were probably hundreds of cells, and it was so dark that one could not see the end. If she was alone, she might not know how to get out. After all, everyone was in the same boat, and it was always good to have a helper.
Besides, this man could speak so much about Shamo City with great confidence, and he was imprisoned in a stone prison. After all, the reason he was imprisoned was because he came to find himself, so he could not escape the blame anyway. So, Ping Lili subconsciously believed him a little.
Thinking of this, Pinglili decided to help him out of trouble.
However, no matter what he thought, when he saw the thousands of talismans floating in green light on the stone gate , Ying Lili was dumbfounded again.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. You can tell what the talisman is used for with just a hair's breadth of thought. If you act rashly, you're afraid that your fate will be the same as the pile next to you. The hand that Ying Lili was about to stretch out suddenly stopped in mid-air.
After a pause, she decided to tell the other party some truth.
"Hey, my power hasn't fully awakened yet, so I don't quite know how to chant the spell to break the curse. How do I break the talisman on this stone door?" When Ping Lili said this, she admitted her identity to the other party. The other party's eyes moved greatly, and he was naturally happy. But suddenly he heard her say so frankly that her power had not yet fully awakened, and she couldn't even do this basic spell-breaking. He was actually a little stunned.
Fortunately, the other party was a smart person, and he immediately realized the embarrassment of Ping Lili at this moment. He coughed twice and said, " If you don't mind, I will show you my ugliness. I know a little bit of the spell to break the curse, and you just need to follow my instructions and recite it."
Ping Lili's eyelids twitched slightly, and she subconsciously took two steps back: "Since you know how to remove the curse, what else do you need me to do?"
"This 'Evil Sealing Curse' is sealed from the outside, so it can only be opened by casting a spell from the outside. And the most powerful thing about this 'Evil Sealing Curse' is that it can have a backlash effect. If I use my spiritual power, it will only be absorbed by it, and then the seal will become tighter and tighter." The other party's tone sounded a little frustrated.
Ping Lili looked at his still clear eyes again and decided to believe him again.
"But I don't know how to use spiritual power." Ping Lili bit her lower lip and turned her head away inadvertently. She was embarrassed to face the other person's expectant eyes.
"You clearly used the Netherworld Fire just now."
"That was an accident. It was purely a survival instinct. I just said that my power has not yet fully awakened. I can't control it freely at all."
Before the other party could react to the deep meaning of Ping Lili's words, he heard a commotion coming from the end of the long cell.
Shouts came one after another, and the other end of the long dungeon seemed like a hornet's nest that had been poked, and it was suddenly filled with noise.
"Oh no, the people outside have discovered something strange here." The man in the cell's eyes dimmed, and he seemed to step back, then suddenly rushed to the door: "Master Yao Ji, please leave quickly! Before they completely surround this place, it shouldn't be difficult to fight your way out with your Netherworld Fire. Hurry up! It will be too late!"
Hearing the other party persuade her to evacuate alone in such an anxious tone, even if Ying Lili still had doubts in her heart, most of them were now eliminated. She gently stroked the injured shoulder, feeling the burning heat there, and gritted her teeth. She immediately made a decision in her heart. "You quickly recite the spell, I'll try."
Hearing this, the other party was stunned. After reacting the next moment, he growled, "I beg you, don't worry about me, just leave! It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
"If you want to go, let's go together! Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want me to die here with you, just chant the spell!" But Ping Lili seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at the other person intently, as if she wanted the other person to see the determination in her eyes.
As if hearing the shouting and noise coming from far away, the other party suddenly closed his eyes and no longer insisted.
"The energy of the nine heavens and nine earths broke the barrier in front of me and granted me the ancient covenant..."
"The energy of the nine heavens and nine earths broke the barrier in front of me and granted me the ancient covenant..."
Without waiting for the other party to finish, Ying Lili chanted the spell faster and faster, until the other party's voice was drowned out by her hoarse muttering of the curse.
Her eyes closed slightly, and the scarlet color instantly replaced the originally golden brown clear pupils. I saw Ping Lili bend her right hand and flick her fingers, and several silver lights flew out from the slender fingertips, gathering on the stone door like a hook or a stroke. The floating green light seal on the stone door showed signs of fading, but there were still several stubborn green light roots intertwined, as if it had not completely faded. It seems that although she remembered the spell, her spiritual power is ultimately limited!
This discovery made Ying Lili feel a little frustrated. She subconsciously touched the short blade in her pocket, but then shook her head and sighed.
While he was hesitating, dozens of Ruoye soldiers holding tridents rushed up behind him. The man in the prison shouted, "Sir, be careful!"
There was a whistling sound in her ears, and Ping Lili subconsciously turned her head slightly to face the person who was coming. A silver trident flew straight towards her, brushing against her left cheek and piercing into the stone door. The remaining green rune squeaked out several flashes of lightning, which quickly spread along the iron handle of the trident like a snake.
The creaking sound continued, and in such a gloomy stone prison, it sounded extremely creepy and weird.
Ping Lili turned her head and looked at the aggressive Ruoye soldiers behind her and couldn't help but frowned. She felt a burning pain on her left cheek. She reached out to touch it and found her hands were covered in blood.
It seemed that the left cheek was scratched by the trident. Ping Lili felt angry. The face is a girl's first life. These people are really... tired of living!
What Ping Lili didn't know was that the red color in her eyes had reached its peak as her temperament changed. Unconsciously, a faint green flame suddenly shot up from Ping Lili's fingertips. This time, before Ping Lili could kill again because of her runaway consciousness, someone quickly poured a basin of cold water on her head.
"Sir, direct the Nether Fire to the trident!" The man in the prison roared, and forcibly pulled back the will of Ying Lili that was eroded by anger. Ying Lili did not even turn his head, but raised his white finger and lightly tapped, and the green Nether Fire spread along the other end of the iron handle of the trident that was wrapped in lightning. The lightning and the Nether Fire intertwined together, and turned into several scorching white lights that gathered towards the trident that was inserted into the stone gate. At this time, the stone gate was covered with cracks!
The Ruoye people behind him rushed forward in fear, but it was too late!
"Bang!" There was a loud noise!
As the debris flew, the stone gate collapsed in an instant.
Amidst the rubble, a young man with ragged clothes and bruises all over his body, but still with a bright gaze, slowly walked out.
