Chapter 190 A tune of water spirit beads
Zhao Wuyang was completely bewildered. He didn’t know how to perceive the place he was in now. With the poisonous sound of the spiritual incense piano beside him, the spiritual energy in his body was about to become chaotic.

As soon as Xinyi stood up, she felt that Zhao Wuyang was unusual. She looked at him and saw that he was emitting a chaotic aura and seemed to be possessed.

He knew very well how much damage illusions could do to the mind, and he also knew why Zhao Wuyang was so hurt. If he couldn’t untie the knot in his heart, he would inevitably end up in a desperate situation in the future, which was the case now.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Xia and Ban Xia are still missing. Although she doesn’t know why Ling Xiang did this, she thinks it is because of them. There is already a spiritual light in the room. If she asks her to stop, all her efforts will be wasted.

The cultivation levels of Long Qi and Lu Ying were not high enough to help people out of trouble, but one of them was concentrating on looking at the spiritual incense, while the other was meditating and looked like he had just achieved a breakthrough.

The only way now is to help Wuyang myself!

Although he is not as good as Lingxiang in Taoism, he has at least reached the Jindan stage of martial arts. If he intervenes with spiritual energy, he should be able to help Wuyang escape danger.

Xinyi pondered for a moment, then used her spiritual power in her palm to pat Zhao Wuyang on the shoulder. However, she did not expect that the chaotic energy in Zhao Wuyang’s body was so overbearing that it caused him to feel a piercing pain, especially in his hand.

As soon as he approached, Xinyi felt a resistance, as if Zhao Wuyang was rejecting him. Seeing this, Xinyi frowned, then twisted his fingers, turned his palm into fingers, concentrated the spiritual energy between his fingers, and stretched it towards Zhao Wuyang. When he got close to him, Xinyi quickly stretched out his palm and slapped Zhao Wuyang.

Zhao Wuyang was originally distracted and confused, but suddenly a cool feeling filled his body, and then he felt a weight on his shoulders. He looked up woodenly and saw that although Xinyi frowned, her face was full of worry.

Looking at Xinyi’s concerned eyes, Zhao Wuyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually brightened, and his mind recalled what his mother had said to him when he was a child, which was the courtyard in the previous illusion.

……

“Yan’er, you know that a person’s life is only ten thousand short days. If you dwell on the past and cannot extricate yourself, you will only waste your time. If you encounter difficulties that are difficult to escape, you might as well look around.” Mrs. Qiao held the needle in her temples and sharpened it.

“What’s the use of looking around?” Xiao Wuyang was teasing Ajin. When he heard Mrs. Qiao suddenly speak, he looked up and asked.

“Around? Hmm~” Mrs. Qiao groaned for a moment and said, “Wuyang has never made any friends! In the future, when you venture into the world, you will always meet people who are kind to you. Those people will be the ones who guide you on your journey again. They will be kind to you, think about you, and not care about gains and losses. Such people are your friends.”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyang lowered his head and teased Ajin again. It was always lazy, which made him want to poke it. But no matter how he teased it, Ajin always lay motionless. What a lazy cat!

“Yang’er doesn’t need friends. Yang’er just needs his parents. They are the best in the world.”

Mrs. Qiao smiled, put down the needlework in her hands, walked to Xiao Wuyang, and hugged him up: “Your parents are naturally the best to you, because you are your child, your blood that cannot be separated. But those who are good to you in the future will have nothing to do with you. They are good to you, and they have nothing to ask for, just because of friendship. If you meet such people, you must remember to cherish them…”

……

Zhao Wuyang’s originally yellow eyes became clear black and white again. He recalled every little thing that happened after he entered Yuanqing: Liu Xia stepped forward when he was criticized; Xin Yi leaned towards him when he encountered a demon during a martial arts performance; Long Qi’s magic weapon descended from the sky when he was experiencing danger.

From the few people who joined the Taoist sect to practice together, to supporting each other in times of danger, and taking care of each other when they were ill, the friendship formed here can no longer be simply summarized by the word “friends”.

We are more like brothers than friends.

He has no brothers, but I guess that must be the case!
The hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the chaotic aura on Zhao Wuyang’s body also began to disappear.

He suddenly realized that in addition to teaching him to be upright, his mother had also taught him in advance how to resolve the knots in his heart that he would encounter in his life. His mother herself was not in good health, but she still cared about him. If he was always so listless, how could he be worthy of his mother’s good intentions?

Zhao Wuyang naturally didn’t know Mrs. Qiao’s ability, but the ancients said that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Which parent doesn’t want their children to have a smooth life?

But in life, separation and reunion are always normal, and one will encounter all kinds of ups and downs. If one just keeps being depressed, wouldn’t it be a waste of one’s life on earth?
Mrs. Qiao knew her son’s temperament very well, and had foreseen what he would encounter, so she let him go up the mountain to suffer and be tempered! But as a mother, she was still worried, so she asked Ah Jin to protect him.

She also wanted to be strong as a mother, but it was difficult for her to do so. She could only influence Zhao Wuyang subtly and raise him into a strong person.

Seeing that the aura on Zhao Wuyang’s body had calmed down, Xinyi put aside her worries and collected her spiritual power. She looked at Zhao Wuyang in front of her with warm eyes. Although this child had not lost his childish appearance, he was the most resilient among the four of them, and had an extremely pure heart.

What Lingxiang said is absolutely right, his future will definitely be limitless.

Zhao Wuyang regained his composure and could hear Lingxiang’s ten fingers playing the piano clearly. He couldn’t help but wonder, was Elder Fu Cang trying to exorcise ghosts? Why did he play the piano so disgustingly?
Seeing Zhao Wuyang’s inquiring eyes, Xinyi smiled helplessly and raised her hand, signaling him to read on patiently.

Lingxiang always has her own plans for what she does. Although her playing sounds like the howling of ghosts and wolves, the effect is still obvious – the spiritual energy that fills the room, entangled in strands, constantly floats towards a corner of the room, gathers and swirls, as if something is about to appear in it.

Perhaps he was used to hearing it in Xianyunju, for at this moment Xinyi’s face was surprisingly calm. Seeing him like this, Zhao Wuyang had no choice but to patiently look at Lingxiang.

He was only at the stage of body building, and could not see the spiritual power clearly. However, due to the advantage of his heavenly star spiritual roots, he could feel the oppression in front of him.

Just as Long Qi was frowning and wondering when the spiritual incense would end, he saw her stop after strumming the strings, her face full of satisfaction, her eyes closed and her head raised, as if she was still immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.

Long Qi really didn’t know where Ling Xiang’s confidence came from. He still remembered that his mother was very good at music. Whenever she had free time, she and his father would play the zither and the flute. Although he couldn’t remember clearly now, he had the impression that it sounded very pleasant and comfortable, not like this…

Just as he was lost in thought, he was stunned after taking a glance at Lingxiang’s piano.

I still remember that during the Lantern Festival, the small carving of Qiuniu on the forehead of this zither was lying with its eyes closed facing Yueshan Mountain. How come it is now sitting with its head held high with its back to the strings?

Did he remember it wrong?
Long Qi blinked in confusion and was about to take a closer look, but he saw Lingxiang Pao wave his sleeve and put away the Qiuniuqin.

“As I expected, it seems to be quite effective.” Lingxiang looked at the spiritual energy swirling on the dark pattern of the black tortoise, with a proud look on her face. Long Qi was very confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what she meant. Lingxiang smiled and said, “I said before that the northern god black tortoise is a water image, and the saints once said that time flies. I guessed that Banxia and Liu Xia were fooled by this black tortoise array. Now it seems that it is true!”

“I thought about it and decided that since it was an ancient god’s formation, I would use ancient magic tools to break it. I just played a piece of music called “High Mountains and Flowing Water”. Whether it’s the five elements or the spiritual magic, they can compete with it.”

Seeing Lingxiang’s proud look, Long Qi really didn’t know whether he should tell the truth. Although he was not good at music, he had heard of “High Mountains and Flowing Water”. This song was an ancient song, but he heard that everyone said that this song was as high as a mountain and as gentle as water.

But what Lingxiang played just now, where was the charm of mountains and rivers? I’m afraid that if Boya and Ziqi heard it, they would definitely lift the cover and scold her for being ignorant.

As he was speaking, the spiritual energy that was originally swirling around him suddenly gathered and converged into a point in an instant. When everyone looked carefully, they saw that it was actually a bead floating in the air.

The bead was only the size of a sparrow egg, round and smooth, and the color of the sea and sky. At first glance, it was like looking at the sea, sometimes calm and peaceful, sometimes surging with waves, which was quite strange.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Lingxiang suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest. She quickly reached into her arms and took out something, which was a Fire Spirit Bead of the same size as the one in front of her.

The Fire Spirit Pearl glowed red, like a blazing fireball, but strangely, the spiritual incense did not feel hot at all, only a hint of warmth surrounded the palm.

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly floated away, fluttering around the blue pearl, like a phoenix courting a mate. Just as the Fire Spirit Pearl swirled for a moment, the blue pearl also swirled with it.

The two beads, one red and one blue, are entangled with each other, and as they rotate they look like the poles of yin and yang.

Seeing this, Lingxiang immediately understood why the Black Tortoise Array, which was biased towards the water symbol, was so troublesome when both were ancient gods’ four-symbol array. In terms of cultivation, Liu Xia and Lu Ying were not much different!

What is “the passing of time”? It is just a conjecture. The root of it must be this bead! I think this is the rumored –

Water Lingzhu!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang couldn’t help but feel extremely proud. It was really a case of searching for something without any effort, but it turned out that she had managed to save Banxia and the other two by sheer luck, and she managed to force the water spirit bead out, but the wheat awn fell into the eye of the needle, what a coincidence!
Lingxiang twisted her fingers and moved towards the two spirit beads of fire and water, then put the two beads into her arms.

At this moment, spiritual energy suddenly burst out from the Xuanwu formation, which was extremely sharp. Everyone quickly raised their hands to resist. Lingxiang quickly used the “Calm Down” technique to protect everyone with shields.

The spiritual energy continued to impact the magic shield of Bolangbujingjue, which made Lingxiang feel powerless for a while, and the magic shield that protected everyone was even showing signs of cracking.

After all, it is the power of the four ancient gods, and its might should not be underestimated!
If the magic shield of Bolangbujingjue was broken, they would probably suffer considerable damage!
Ling Xiang was a little confused for a moment. At this moment, she suddenly felt a spiritual power pouring in from behind her. Looking back, she found that it was Lu Ying who was supplying spiritual power to her. Only then did she realize that Lu Ying had already reached the second stage of foundation building!

Being able to break through in such a difficult situation, Lu Ying is indeed extremely talented.

But even so, a big crack still appeared on Lingxiang’s magic shield. Seeing this, everyone quickly twisted their fingers to help her.

Fortunately, the violent spiritual energy stopped after a moment, and a ray of light flashed above the Xuanwu Formation, and Banxia and Liu Xia suddenly appeared and fell heavily to the ground.

As soon as she landed on the ground, Banxia cried out in pain and kept muttering to herself: She was clearly still drawing the talisman formation just now, how did she end up in this place all of a sudden?

When everyone saw the two people appear, they hurried forward, but what was strange was that Banxia was conscious, but Liu Xia was unconscious, lying there motionless.

Lingxiang hurried forward to feel Liu Xia’s pulse, and found that it was the same as Xinyi and the others before. She thought that he was affected by the four-way magic formation, but for some reason, his body was abnormally cold.

She quickly rolled up Liu Xia’s sleeves, and was shocked to see that Liu Xia’s arms were covered with bruises and some places had redness, swelling and blisters.

This is clearly frostbite!
Logically speaking, the magic circle should have some impact on the mind, so why did Liu Xia become like this?

But Lingxiang didn’t have time to think. She quickly reached into her Qiankun bag and took out a pill. She pinched Liu Xia’s mouth open and asked her to swallow it. Then she took out the Water Spirit Pearl from her arms.

But as soon as she took it out, she hesitated for a moment. Seeing her like this, Long Qi hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Lingxiang looked up at him but didn’t answer, and continued to look at the Water Spirit Pearl in her hand.

Liu Xia is now severely frostbitten. The best way is to relieve the symptoms first with warm water and then warm up the whole body with warm water.

It took her a long time to get the Fire Spirit Pearl from her fifth senior brother before she could use it freely. Now she has only obtained the Water Spirit Pearl not long ago, and she is not sure she can use it!

But there is no other way right now!

Forget it, let’s try it out! If Liu Xia’s injuries are not treated in time, there will be endless troubles in the future! As ancient spiritual treasures, the Five Elements Beads should be used in a similar way!
After some consideration, Lingxiang put the Water Spirit Pearl into Liu Xia’s arms, then covered it with one hand, and made hand gestures with the other hand, muttering something.

Everyone didn’t know what she was doing, but Long Qi knew. When he followed Lingxiang out before, he saw her use this method to save a child.

The child fell into the river while playing, but fortunately two people passed by and rescued him to the shore. But the child was already weak, so Lingxiang used this method to save him.

Long Qi signaled everyone to keep quiet so as not to disturb Lingxiang. But at this moment, the stone house where they were in the Four Symbols Formation suddenly shook, and then several people felt that they had lost their composure and were thrown up.

The scenery in front of the stone house kept changing, and the house was sinking rapidly!
Seeing this, Lingxiang shouted hurriedly, ordering everyone to use their spiritual magic to protect their bodies. She also wrapped herself and Liu Xia with the Calm and Peaceful Art.

But before everyone could use their spiritual power, the stone house gradually slowed down!
