Chapter Twenty-Three: The Pool of Ecstasy
Deng An looked at the back of the young man leaving, and sneered in his heart. For scheming people like young people, negotiating conditions with them is undoubtedly like seeking skin with the tiger, and it must not be taken seriously.
When Deng An woke up, he found himself trapped in this small ecstasy pool. Soon after, he saw the young man who had come to check on him, and if it was unexpected, he was the one who had secretly benefited. Regarding this person, Deng An has some impressions, as if he is Elder Yan's apprentice, with very high qualifications, named Wan Shiyi, who joined the Zhen Ghost Sect in the same year as Meng Ping, and is now an eighth-level cultivator in the Qi training period, and is regarded as the leader of the future sect together with Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi is the son of the master of the door, and he looks down on Wan Shiyi. Wan Shiyi thinks that he is very talented, but he is also a little unhappy to be with Wu Zhi, who relies on Lao Tzu to ascend to the throne. Because of this, the two fought openly and secretly, and the disciples of the Ghost Suppression Sect knew this very well.
Knowing this, Deng An was no longer too surprised that he fell into the hands of Wan Shiyi, who most likely saw Wu Zhi's secret actions, so he quietly followed behind, but ran into them ambushing Meng Ping and took the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Deng An had heard some information about the Ecstasy Pool mentioned by Meng Ping that it was able to make the cultivator lose his nature and completely obey the person who cast the spell. When Meng Ping couldn't erase Deng An's memory with the magic technique, he planned to borrow the core disciple's ecstasy pool, but these people had high eyes, and it was not something that an ordinary disciple could befriend, so he had no choice but to give up.
As for why he still retains consciousness, Deng An can only attribute the reason to the mysterious orb. Because this thing is too weird, and it can save his life at a critical moment, Deng An never dared to show it, and even if Meng Ping died, he didn't know his secret.
Thinking of Meng Ping's tragic death, Deng An was a little sad.
Meng Ping initially arrested him in order to cultivate the main soul of his soul flag, after the two signed the soul contract, the relationship was already more enemy than friend, Meng Ping never deliberately used him, but treated each other sincerely, and at the last moment of his life, he did not forget to return his free body. Although there are still elements of utilization, after all, it is the initiative to dissolve the soul contract.
Deng An glanced at the ecstasy pool, no longer thinking about Meng Ping's affairs, and began to worry about his own safety, although this ecstasy pool could not erase his sanity, but it could firmly imprison him, unable to move a bit, with his current strength, it was impossible to escape.
After the black filaments rose from the ecstasy pool, they passed directly through the soul body like a swimming snake and devoured the soul core hidden in the depths.
Deng An speculated that under normal circumstances, these black filaments would definitely be able to penetrate the soul core, but for some special reason, they could not be realized on themselves, so they could only slide along the soul core from the edge and then return to the ecstasy pool.
However, Wan Shiyi also said that there is a more powerful ecstasy pool in the ghost gate. Meng Ping had never told him about this news, probably because of his identity, it was impossible to get in touch with this level of news. Meng Ping only knew that there was a soul pool inside the gate, and the ordinary disciples of the Ghost Sect paid a certain number of ghosts every year, just to send them into it.
Since there is no way to escape for the time being, we can only wait and see what happens.
The next day, Deng An was put into a ghost raising jar by Wan Shiyi. This time, he was not stunned. Along the way, I could occasionally hear a disciple greeting Wan Shiyi. Wan Shiyi seems to be very disgusted by this, and always likes to ignore it, and every time he replies with coping words such as "um" and "ah". After about half an hour, he suddenly stopped.
"Someone is coming!" There was a loud shout outside, and then, the voice asked in surprise: "Why is Senior Brother Wan! What are you doing in the Ghost Refining Cave?"
"Senior Brother Feng, I'll borrow the Ecstasy Pool, this is the token of the family teacher. "Wan Shiyi spoke a lot more politely, presumably the disciples who guarded the ghost refining cave cultivated higher.
It was deserted outside for a moment, and it should be that Senior Brother Feng confirming the token. Sure enough, the voice quickly added: "Even if it is Elder Yan's order, junior brother, please go! I won't repeat the rules that should be followed inside, junior brother knows better than me." ”
After Wan Shi thanked him, there was a slight sound outside, it seemed that some kind of formation had been opened, and soon, Deng An felt that the temperature seemed to drop a lot.
After another half an hour, Deng An felt a slight tremor in the ghost cultivation jar, he knew that this was Wan Shiyi casting a spell, ready to release himself.
Soon there was a huge suction force from the mouth of the can, and Deng An couldn't help but fly out, he only felt that his eyes lit up, and he was already in a huge cave.
Before Deng An could fully react, he was pulled by a force and floated to the middle of the cave, and he subconsciously looked down and saw that it was a dark liquid.
In the distance, Wan Shiyi was holding a token-like thing, punching a spell into it, and a sickly blush appeared on his pale face.
"Deng An, this is the real ecstasy pool of this sect, in front of it, you don't have to have any luck, now, you still have a chance to regret it, if you agree to my request, I can not blame the past, and I will still fulfill those conditions. ”
"No need!"
"Okay, okay, make the most of your sanity!"
Wan Shiyi said two good words in a row, and the token in his hand pointed towards the air, and a red beam of light instantly hit the semicircular light mask above the ecstasy pool, dyeing it pink. However, the color of the mask lasted only a few moments before it returned to transparency.
Deng Anzheng was suspicious, and he felt that the black liquid in the pool had changed. In some places, the liquid was like boiling water, bubbling with bubbles. Soon, some thumb-thick black lines rose from the pool and flew towards Deng An almost like a teleportation.
Seeing such a huge momentum, even if Deng An had been prepared, he was still taken aback. Under the confinement of the formation, just like the previous encounter in the small ecstasy pool, he couldn't move a bit, he could only watch these lines, easily penetrate the soul body, and hit the soul core.
Deng An couldn't describe the feeling at this time in words, in short, it was very uncomfortable, but what made him feel a little relieved was that these thumb-thick lines were also reflected back by the soul core, and his sanity was not damaged in the slightest.
"How can this be? No way! Not to mention the meditation in the Yin Period, even the meditation in the Condensation Period can't last long in the Ecstasy Pool. ”
Wan Shiyi soon discovered that things were far from being as simple as he imagined, and Deng An's experience seemed to be different from what the sect elders had said, and he still couldn't see that he was affected. Wan Shi thought about all kinds of possibilities, but overturned them one by one.
Wan Shiyi didn't dare to ask the master for advice, because when Elder Yan heard about this, he would definitely go to the Ecstasy Pool to check, and if he found out Deng An's identity, he would definitely ask about Meng Ping's whereabouts.
"Wan Shiyi, this is the ecstasy pool you said, and that's it. Seeing that his sanity had not been eliminated, Deng An gradually relaxed his mind and did not forget to sneer a few words.
Wan Shiyi's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Deng An, don't be complacent too early, sooner or later you will look good." You're going to stay here honestly, and hopefully by this time tomorrow, you'll recognize who I am, and we'll have a good chat then." ”
After Wan Shiyi left a few cruel words, he turned around and walked into the passage where he came.
Deng An endured the extremely uncomfortable feeling while looking around. The whole cave is about 20 zhang square, except for a small path at the edge that can be used for two or three people in parallel, the rest of the part is a pool, which is full of black liquid.
Deng An had been searching for the source of these liquids, and now he had finally found some clues, and there were some plants floating in the place where the Ecstasy Pool was connected, and there were some plants that had not yet melted.
In this way, these liquids should be artificially blended, and it is definitely not a few years to complete such a big stroke, I am afraid that it has been accumulated by the ghost town for generations, no wonder before the eternal world came, he was so full of confidence, but he met such a freak as himself, and he was destined to be disappointed.
Deng An still had no clue how to escape.
The formation here is estimated to be thousands of times stronger than that small ecstasy pool, and he still has no way to do it in the small maze pool, not to mention this big one, the possibility of escaping is even more confusing.
Now, Deng An has no choice but to wait or wait, waiting for other opportunities to arise. However, this wait did not disappoint him.
In the mountain not too far away from the Soul Pool, there was an even larger cave, and in the middle of the cave, a larger pool was dug, at least seven or eight times the size of the Ecstasy Pool.
The middle of this pool is also filled with black liquid. The surface of the pool, from time to time, emits black steam, which makes the entire cave shrouded in a thick black mist.
In the central part of the pool, there is a stone platform with a radius of two or three zhang. On the stone platform is a small table, the table is covered by a pale cyan light mask, and on the top of the table, a bamboo tube is placed, and a small flag with a simple style is inserted in the bamboo slip. This turned out to be a soul flag, and it was obviously not an ordinary thing that could be placed in this place.
Suddenly, the soul banner emitted a burst of dark light, and a cloud of yin qi overflowed from it, gradually turning into a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's soul body was already very condensed, and even a keratinous luster could be seen on the surface of his skin.
After the middle-aged man came out of the soul flag, he played several spells in a row, and one after another black light continued to shoot towards the pale cyan light mask, and the light mask shook for a while, and it automatically cracked a hole.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man had a confident smile on his face and walked out. He slowly rose into the air, raised his hand and pointed forward, a wisp of yin qi shot out from his fingertips like an arrow off the string, and another light shield suddenly appeared in midair.
The middle-aged man looked at this light mask, and the expression on his face added a bit of solemnity, and at the same time he was a little expectant. After stabilizing his mind, he put his hands on his hands, and typed out one magic trick after another, and immediately, one by one, the runes formed by black light were printed on the light mask.
As the casting speed became faster and faster, the yin qi emitted from the middle-aged man's body swirled around him and gradually formed a hurricane. Rows of black light shot out from the hurricane from time to time, forming a rune disc on the light mask, and the situation was very strange.
