Chapter 795 Xianfan's Choice (Part 2)
Li Bing didn't know why the powerful sects didn't clean up the dust in the center of the ruins, so that it would be more convenient to find treasures, but he was sure that these dusts were a big trouble for him.
After entering the center of the ruins, the five teams stopped as planned without going too deeply. Then Li Bing and his wife and veterans quickly found several places where there might be missing treasures, and let the novices in the team look for them on their own, and the veterans guided and supervised them from the side.
Li Bing did not intend to stay here. Perhaps because of the feeling just now, he felt an urge to look around, so he informed his wife and walked towards a more central place. Compared to the outer area, the closer to the center, the thicker the dust, and soon the dust reached the base of Li Bing's thighs. The dust here was very gentle and subtle, and there was no force. Even if a person like him who used his true energy to promote light body skills, he would fall on the dust instantly without any feeling of being on the ground. This is nothing. What really made him feel a little strange is that the dust here seems to contain some kind of power that can affect people's hearts, which makes people involuntarily feel a strong sense of depression, just like the whole person being immersed in water but still unable to leave, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably desperate.
At first, Li Bing thought that this was just an emotional influence, coupled with the illusion arising from the empty and depressed environment around him, but soon he realized that this was not the case. This influence does exist, which is directly aimed at the heart of the people and cannot resist, and the closer it is to the center, the greater the effect of this influence.
This ruin is not the first time Li Bing has come here. It’s just because he thinks there is nothing good here. So most of the times he came here before were just casually walking around the periphery and never entered the center of the ruins. His understanding of the central area was also learned from others. Now it seems that this place is really weird.
If it were the past, Li Bing might have chosen to continue moving forward without hesitation, but now he is not a lonely man, nor is he the passionate man who yearns for the immortal path. He is just an ordinary mortal. So he did not continue to move forward, but decided to retreat along the way he came.
However, when Li Bing turned around, he unexpectedly found that the scene in front of him was exactly the same as before. He turned around and returned to the starting point. After a moment of stunnedness, he turned around again with a hint of surprise in his heart, but the situation was still the same. And when he looked over on both sides, the same scene was the same. A straight road covered with dust led to the center of the ruins. It seemed that the scene in his sight had been fixed.
Now Li Bing is not sure that he has fallen into someone else's maze. His cultivation and knowledge of formations cannot tell the origin of this maze at all. Not to mention how to break the formation. At this time, Li Bing was worried about not his own safety, but his wife who entered the center of the ruins like him. As a cultivator, he was so helpless. His wife was just a mortal martial artist, and the people around him were even worse than her. I am afraid that the couple would be doomed this time.
Faced with such a dilemma, a sense of inexplicable regret arises and soon fills his heart. Li Bing can't help but regret why he let his wife enter the wilderness of life with him, why he chooses this relic training novice, why he is curious to walk towards the center of the relic, etc. All kinds of regrets that keep emerging have caused Li Bing to have an unprecedented despair out of thin air in a short period of time, and under the influence of this emotion, he seems to have lost the rationality and judgment he should have, and the magical energy on his body is gathered in his hands and he is about to slap his forehead.
"Little brother, what can't be thought of? You're going to have to look for your own mistakes?" Just as Li Bing's powerful palm was about to touch his head and slam the head like an egg, a slightly vicissitudes of soft voice suddenly appeared in his ears, and accompanied by a slender and slender palm grabbed his deadly arm, stopping his self-destructive behavior.
Such a simple sentence seemed to be full of powerful magic power. After being heard by Li Bing, he felt like he was sunk into ice water and couldn't help but shivered. The negative emotions that were so desperate that they self-destructed in his heart disappeared in an instant with this tremor, and he regained his rationality and judgment.
Thinking back on his actions just now, Li Bing couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't expect that he would suddenly develop such a self-destructive mentality. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would definitely die. Now calm down and think about it, he also felt that things were really weird. Although he was in a difficult situation and had some desperate mentality, before he tried any way to leave, this despair should not have made him have the urge to commit suicide.
After placing the abnormal mentality in his heart that he had survived the disaster, Li Bing turned his head and noticed the person who had just taken action to save him, but this person really surprised him. Originally, he thought that the person who could break the maze and save him should be a cultivator with a fairy spirit, or even an immortal, but now in front of him is just a middle-aged scholar who looks ordinary and feels equally ordinary. The middle-aged scholar is wearing a long blue gown, a scholar hat on his head, a thin face, and elegant appearance. He feels like the kind of pastoral hermit who likes to talk big but has a peaceful heart.
Although the person in front of him seemed to be powerless, Li Bing did not dare to underestimate the other party at all. In the Little Qingweitian Mountain, the Confucian lineage has an important position. Not to mention that among the many Xiaoqing Weitian Sects, Confucianism has one of the best influences in the mortal cities and countries. The Confucianism's influence in the mortal cities and countries is already extraordinary. The Confucianism's academic knowledge of the world is the foundation of the rule of the country and the country. Most of the civil servants in various departments are Confucian scholars.
Moreover, there are great scholars assigned by Zhiyuantang to be in charge of the city-state. These great scholars of Hongxue are no different from ordinary people, but they have a mysterious and unpredictable aura. Even the Jindan Immortals who have entered the Tao will be unable to resist when they meet these great scholars of Hongxue, let alone those ordinary practitioners who have been put down the mountain. To a large extent, practitioners who have not entered the Tao will obediently abide by the rules of not revealing magic among ordinary people and dare not step beyond the line, because of these great scholars of Hongxue.
"Thank you for helping me just now. Li Bing is unforgettable. I hope you can tell me the name so that I can repay you for saving my life." Not to mention whether the middle-aged scholar in front of me is a great scholar, just this person can easily hold his arm full of magical power and break it up easily, and then it can be judged that this person's strength is definitely beyond his thoughts. So Li Bing did not dare to neglect and salute to the scholar with great respect.
"There is no need to repay you! It's just a small task." The middle-aged scholar shook his hand, looked at Li Bing up and down, and said, "Your cultivation is not enough to resist the influence of the alien powers in these dust. It's better to leave early, so as not to continue staying hurting your mind. In addition, the people you brought are also taken away. It's best to leave here as soon as possible with the caravan outside the ruins, as this place will become very uneasy soon."
"Thank you for your advice, sir." Li Bing was stunned for a moment, realizing that something might happen here, so he hurriedly thanked him, but said a little embarrassedly: "I just want to leave, but I can't do it. I'm trapped now..."
"You open your eyes and look around before talking." The middle-aged scholar knew what Li Bing meant, interrupted him and pointed at the surroundings.
As the middle-aged scholar pointed his finger, Li Bing looked around again and found that the scene in front of him had reached its original state. There was a direct path in front of him, and the thick dust on the path could still see the traces he had walked by when he came.
"Thank you sir! Thank you sir!" Li Bing was extremely surprised and bowed to thank you.
"Don't thank me, for your own sake." The middle-aged scholar looked at Li Bing and said, "Your heart of Tao is round and stable, and you can only be affected by being able to walk here, and you can quickly get rid of the illusion. It's very good. If it weren't for your talented Dharma Eye, you might have entered the Tao and formed a golden elixir."
"Ah!" Li Bing couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this, and then grabbed Xu Changqing's sleeve with great rudeness, and said anxiously in a trembling voice: "First, sir, what you said is true. The reason why you have not crossed the obstacles of the immortals is because of these Dharma eyes?"
"You have no grudges with me, so why should I swear you?" The middle-aged scholar shook his sleeves gently, shook Li Bing's hand away, and said a little unhappy.
Li Bing didn't understand at this moment that the person in front of him was a Confucian immortal with profound cultivation. He could tell from his own eyes that his cultivation level was probably much higher than the highest elders in his master's sect. At this time, he couldn't help but think that since the other party could see his own problem, the other party would definitely be able to solve this problem, and in this way he would have a chance to reach the realm of the immortal.
Thinking of this, Li Bing didn't care about his current situation and knelt in front of the middle-aged scholar and begged urgently: "I hope the immortal will give me some advice on the next way out, Li Bing will be a cattle and a horse..."
"What's the use of me wanting you to be a cow or a horse?" The middle-aged scholar seemed to be amused by Li Bing's actions, raised his head and laughed, then raised his magic power, lifted Li Bing up, and looked at him and said, "I do have a way to solve your problem, so that you can overcome the obstacles of immortals and form golden elixirs. I don't need any reward for you. But I want to ask you, can you really abandon everything you are now and return to the illusory immortal path?"
The middle-aged scholar's question made Li Bing stunned. At this moment, he remembered his wife and the child who had been pregnant in his womb. If he really formed a golden elixir, he would never live in the mortal city-state and country. It would be impossible to bring his wife to the city-state of the fairy world. Then their family would be separated forever, and they would probably never meet each other in their lifetime. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate and stood there in a daze.
