Chapter 20

The Yanjia lock that seals the tomb door is in the same line as Xie Yi's previous design. Xie Yi found organs at four locations ten feet away from the lock, namely Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li, and buried a small explosive Yanjia to activate it with spiritual power. The Yanjia exploded at the same time, and the spiritual power stored in the mechanism rushed towards the center along the wire, and the four ice-blue spiritual lights converged on the water essence fragments embedded in the lock core at the same time, and the white light was blazing for a while, which strongly wiped out everything around it. Things happened, the fragments of the water spirit made a deafening sound of cracking, and after the light disappeared, the sand at the bottom of the pond rose slowly, the water was drained, the door of the tomb opened, and a long stone step was revealed, extending into the dark depths go.

Most of the thousand-year-old tombs are populated by spirits and monsters. Xie Yi had already made preparations before his trip to Sand Sea. Still using Tang Dao, he forged a chain sword for Shen Ye. He wanted to make a magic staff for Twelve, but Twelve said that he was used to spells and Gu worms, and politely declined Xie Yi's kindness. Xie Yi had no choice but to give up with regret. .

Xie Yi held the Tang Dao tightly, his sweaty palm pressed tightly against the coarse cloth wrapped around the handle, making a dry rubbing sound, he swung the Tang Dao obliquely, and the three-foot green blade was blown in the night. Drawing a bright silver arc, Xie Yi lowered his head to look at the glinting blade tip under the moonlight, and let out a shallow breath.

Shen Ye tried the chain sword once. With a flick of his wrist, the long chain was thrown away, cutting off a piece of weathered rock not far away. He nodded, thinking that although this weapon is a quick-finished product, it is still considered cutting-edge. Rui, reluctantly took advantage of it.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Xie Yi staring at the knife with a tense expression, he couldn't help but smile, and said teasingly: "Going to visit the former apprentice's tomb makes you so nervous? Is it because you are worried that there is a mechanism that cannot be cracked?" , as a master but lost to the disciples, lost face?"

"That's not true," Xie Yi was teased by him, so he could only smile wryly and shook his head, "Even if Yanshi came from the same sect, the mechanisms they designed are all related, and it's not uncommon for them to be difficult to decipher for a while. I'm just worried. Although I have recovered my memory and spiritual power, I have no actual combat experience. If I encounter a spirit monster entrenched in the tomb, I don’t know how much I can use..."

Shen Ye glanced at him sideways, and said disapprovingly: "You will know how much it can be used, just try it, even if you don't know how to use Tang Dao, you still have spiritual power and Yanshu, so you won't be slowed down, so what is there to worry about? "

Before Xie Yi could speak, Shen Ye raised the chain sword and walked into the tomb first.

As soon as he stepped on the steps, Shen Ye suddenly felt strange. From the outside, it looked like a ladder made of sandstone and wooden planks, but when stepping on it, there was an abnormal soft and soft feeling from the soles of his feet, as if it was still sinking slowly but continuously.

Shen Ye stared at it carefully, and felt his heart tremble. Wherever there were stone steps under his feet, they all turned into quicksand.

He raised his head and looked around. There was an open space in front of him. It was no longer a long and narrow tomb passage. Under the dim sun, there were endless stretches of yellow sand. Dust filled the sky, and on the horizon as far as the eye could see, the hurricane swirled sand waterfalls, expanding in a spiral shape, carrying stones of different sizes, rolling from a distance.

This is... an illusion? !

It is not uncommon to have illusions arranged in the tomb, but this is an ancient tomb that is nearly a thousand years old, and the magic circle that has been laid may have already dried up. How could it be possible to support such a powerful illusion?

Shen Ye stared blankly at the approaching whirlwind, his body sank continuously in the quicksand, and when he noticed, the yellow sand had already reached his knees.

The feet can't step on the ground, the harder you push, the faster you sink, the hurricane absorbs the sand, the rocks expand infinitely like ghosts, its edges sweep over, the yellow sand covers the sky, like rain and fog, and it rises in the night With spiritual power, Shunhua's helmet is like a barrier covering the whole body, separating the gravel and fine sand blown by the wind.

The sand waterfall was approaching, and some huge rocks were coming towards us by the wind. Shen Ye threw off the chain sword and nailed the highest piece, stretched his arms and pulled it hard, pulled out his legs stuck in the sand, and took advantage of the momentum to leap into the air. He stood up, tapped his toes on the rocks of different sizes flying to him, turned over and jumped onto the top of the rock pinned by the chain sword.

To break the illusion, one must use spiritual power to forcibly tear apart the illusion to destroy the magic circle, or find the eye of the circle and destroy it.At present, it seems that the spiritual power used to support the magic circle is so strong that the former will not work, and the eyes of the formation can only be found among the yellow sand and gravel.

Shen Ye swung his whip and smashed a flying rock in front of him into pieces. His long hair was torn by the strong wind, and strands of it swept across his cheeks and covered his eyes. Shen Ye wiped the messy hair behind his ears a little annoyedly, and jumped up. Higher rock blocks approach the center of the hurricane.

But at this moment, Xie Yi's voice was heard calling his name loudly.

"A Ye——!!!"

Shen Ye suddenly turned around, and less than ten meters away, Xie Yi was half-kneeling on the edge of a rock with a flat top, leaning forward, holding the Tang Dao with half of the blade inserted into the rock in his hand, and firmly grasping it with the other hand. Pulling Twelve's right arm.

Twelve's body was hanging in the air, holding on to the protruding outer wall of the rock to support it, his thin body dangling, as if it would be swept away by a strong wind at any time.

Shen Ye didn't realize until this time that he was used to acting alone and resisting with all his strength, and he even forgot to wait for Xie Yi and Twelve to act together.

In the blink of an eye, several rocks in the sand waterfall directly hit Xie Yi's position.

Seeing that Xie Yi and Twelve were in danger, Shen Ye felt terrified, mobilized his whole body's spiritual power, swung his sword and pushed it forward with a palm, the magic seal was knotted in the palm, the mantra flowed, Lei Ling responded, and dozens of lightning flashed like The golden dragon with its long tail shot straight down from the zenith, smashing all the pumice stones in the wind into pieces, and the violent flow of spiritual power impacted the hurricane. It fell, and before it reached the ground, it was swept away by the strong wind again.

The crisis was resolved, and Shen Ye heaved a sigh of relief watching Xie Yi pull Twelve up to the top of the rock with one arm.

Xie Yi pulled out the Tang saber and turned to look at him, suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards him recklessly, warning loudly: "Behind! Ah Ye, pay attention to your back!"

Shen Ye reacted quickly, turned around immediately and at the same time swung his sword backhand, the golden sword light shaped like a scimitar swayed, and the boulder in front of him was split in half.

Before the sword could be retracted, Shen Ye's pupils constricted suddenly, and he saw another flying stone coming across the gap between the two boulders. An arm hooked around his waist and abruptly turned him in a different direction.

Xie Yi hugged Shen Ye and protected him with his body before the boulder hit him, and then the two of them were pushed out by a force at the same time.

After the whistling wind in their ears died down, they were thrown on a pile of sand.

Although he narrowly avoided the standing weathered rocks around him and did not fall directly on the stones, the combined weight of the two grown men still caused Shen Ye who was below to fall hard enough, and the severe pain from behind made him His eyes turned black, and then Xie Yi hit his chest heavily, Shen Ye let out a muffled cough, as if someone was strangling his neck, and he almost couldn't even breathe.

Xie Yi lay down on Shen Ye's body for a while, staring at the stars. After recovering, he got up quickly, grabbed Shen Ye's elbow and pulled him up from the sand, squatted down, and passed Shen Ye's armpit with one hand. Hugging his shoulders, he hurriedly rubbed his back with one hand, and asked anxiously, "Did you hurt yourself from the fall? Does it hurt?"

Shen Ye fell in a daze, his eyes were blurred and gray, everything seemed to be separated by a layer of frosted glass, sitting on the sandy ground and watching Xie Yi blinked blankly, his expression was a bit dazed.

Xie Yi asked several times but did not receive a response, so he went directly to lift the hem of Shen Ye's shirt to check where he was injured.

Fingers with a thin layer of hard calluses penetrated into the clothes and brushed the sensitive skin on the back of the waist. Shen Ye shivered slightly, and his body shrank back unconsciously.

Xie Yi frowned and held him down: "Don't move! Let me see where it hurts."

At this time, Shen Ye's vision and thinking became a little bit clearer. He looked around and found that they were ejected from the illusion and landed on the sand not far from the door of the tomb. Being swept by the wind, he had no time to save himself, Xie Yi rushed forward and hugged him...

Shen Ye regained consciousness in horror, stretched out his arm, and pushed Xie Yi to the ground without saying a word.

Xie Yi fell to the ground and looked at Shen Ye in surprise, opened his mouth before he could speak, Shen Ye turned him over with a cold face, Xie Yi was caught off guard, but luckily he reacted quickly enough to lift his upper body in time, thus avoiding eating A mouthful of sand doom.

This time he changed into Xie Yi and was dazed, he faced the loess and thought in a daze, could it be that Shen Ye didn't fall on his back, but on his head?Falling from such a high place, you must not be able to clearly fall, this is terrible.

The more Xie Yi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He pushed his hands on the sand and was about to get up. Shen Ye clasped his palms on the back of his neck and pushed him back to the original place. He reprimanded in a hoarse voice, "Don't move!"

Xie Yi was surprised to hear the unconcealable anxiety in Shen Ye's voice, although he didn't know why, he obediently lay still on his stomach.

Then when his back felt cold, Shen Ye pulled the hem of his T-shirt and stroked it under his armpits, stretched out his hand and pressed it towards the center of the spine, asking repeatedly, "Does it hurt here?" Shen Ye changed the position and pressed again.

Shen Ye's slender and cool fingers pressed back and forth on his back, and the places they passed seemed to stir up a tiny electric current. The itching sensation rose from the tailbone a little bit, and a hot current surged from the body uncontrollably. From the beginning, this feeling is certainly not unfamiliar, but the time and place are all wrong!

Xie Yi only felt the dark clouds covering the top, gritted his teeth, turned over and sat up quickly, and quickly grabbed Shen Ye's wrist, the numbness on his back finally subsided, Xie Yi let out a low breath, and said helplessly: "A Ye, you doing what?"

Shen Ye pulled out his hand, Xie Yi was determined to hold on to it, Shen Ye frowned, his face sank, and his tone was cold: "The stone hit me just now, are you crazy? Use your body to block it? If you hurt your spine Bones and viscera, do you think your life is too long or do you plan to lie down for the rest of your life?"

Although the words were stern, the worries and fears in them were obvious, Xie Yi's chest was as sweet and warm as boiled sugar juice, he let go of Shen Ye's wrist, and then took his hand, on the back of the slightly floating bone-shaped hand Rubbing soothingly, with a smile on his face, he submissively said: "I was in a hurry, I didn't think carefully... But it's strange, the wind was so strong at that time, and the stone was quite huge, but it didn't hurt or itch when it hit me. It is harmless for people to pop out of the illusion, what is going on here?"

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Shen Ye's expression softened a little, he stood up, pulled Xie Yi up, and turned to look at the dark entrance of the tomb passage: "That illusion is neither malicious nor harmful, and it was specially set at the entrance of the tomb passage. , just a warning to intruders..."

Shen Ye paused for a moment, and cast a sideways glance at Xie Yi: "So kind and soft, it really is your apprentice."

"It's no different from a gentle and kind nature, and it has always been like this."

Xie Yi said warmly, with a look of pride and relief flashing in his eyes, Shen Ye snorted noncommittally, Xie Yi had to lower his head and cough twice, and changed the subject: "I can handle tricks, but illusions are not my forte. There are so many changes in the illusion, it is difficult to see the flaws, has Ah Ye thought of a way to break it?"

Shen Ye said lightly: "The spiritual power supporting the illusion is unimaginably strong, but I can probably guess the location of the formation eye, and it is not difficult to decipher it. We will make plans after Twelve comes out."

Xie Yi nodded, then frowned slightly, remembering Shen Ye's posture of walking alone in the illusion of quicksand and flying stones everywhere, he pursed the corners of his lips for a moment, feeling a headache and an indescribable sour taste.

Shen Ye's sense of cooperation is really worryingly poor.

But they can't blame Shen Ye, they have never fought side by side, long ago, when he was the priest of the broken army, Shen Ye always protected him behind him, and later...he had to swing his sword at Shen Ye.

Xie Yi held Shen Ye's slender fingers hanging by his side, and Shen Ye looked at him suspiciously.

Xie Yi put Shen Ye's fingers together and pinched them, took a light breath, and smiled, "Ah Ye, don't rush forward alone later, I'll be with you, in case of danger, it's okay Take care of each other."

Shen Ye's eyes flickered, the line of his lips was drawn tightly, his face was tensed up as if he was uncomfortable, but he didn't shake off Xie Yi's hand, but suddenly turned his face to the other side, leaving a quarter of Xie Yi's invisible expression From the side, the tone was a little blunt and authentic: "Just now I fell into a hallucination suddenly, I forgot to wait for you... I won't do it in the future."

Xie Yi saw that Shen Ye's fair ears turned pink with a few strands, and he felt like picking up a blade of grass in his heart, causing a slight but trembling itch like hallucinations.

He felt a little helpless, obviously he was no longer an impulsive young man, and the memory he recovered was as long as more than 100 years, but facing Shen Ye, he would still feel hopeless palpitations like a young man who tasted love for the first time.

Xie Yi thought about it, couldn't help himself, leaned over and kissed Shen Ye on the cheek.

Twelve walked out of the entrance of the tomb while clutching his forehead hit by the flying stone, just in time to bump into this scene, he paused, and unconsciously stepped back, thinking painfully that the most important thing to cover was not his forehead, but his eyes.
