Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Chapter 247: The Great Battle in the Capital in the Period Literature (27)

Through the thick glass of the oxygen mask, Lantian's eyes were as if attracted by a magnet, fixed firmly on the rusty iron door that bore the vicissitudes of endless years.

The diving light tightly held in her hand struggled to create a pale and lonely beam of light in the turbid sea water.

Just now, a black light flashed like lightning.

She thought to herself that this mysterious light must be the reflection of the diving light in her hand hitting an object.

At this moment, inside the oxygen mask, Lantian could clearly hear the intermittent voice of Ergou coming from the sea of ​​consciousness.

I only heard it say in a slightly excited and nervous tone:

"Host, after testing, we found that the magnetic field abnormality at this coordinate point has exceeded the normal range by a full 37.8 times..."

When Lantian heard this, his heart tightened and he subconsciously lowered his head.

Then she quickly reached out and adjusted the psychic detector on her waist.

Through the vibrating sea water, Lantian saw jumping and flashing red ripples on the detector's display screen, one after another, as if a dying giant beast was making its last struggle, and its violent heartbeat seemed to be transmitted through the screen.

Finally, Lantian's flippers gently touched the hull below.

In an instant, the rust attached to the hull scattered like a school of frightened fish, forming a rising scene like a blood mist that enveloped her completely.

Lantian's fingertips gently traced the patina on the cargo door until she felt a depression. It was the Chinese character "閫龙" engraved in ancient Chinese characters. The lingering spiritual energy between the brushstrokes made her immediately feel the faint trembling of the spiritual root deep within this body's soul.

This freighter, which mysteriously disappeared in 1945, hides a shocking secret - it is intricately and inseparable from the forbidden formation activated by Liu Xu that year!

At this moment, Lantian was silent, but her mind was like a high-speed machine, constantly flashing back to the scene in Xintian's world where Liu Xu had activated the Dragon-Slaying Formation three times in a row.

Those thrilling scenes seemed to have happened just yesterday, so clear and profound that even if she closed her eyes tightly at this moment, she could still perfectly reproduce every detail and every arrangement of the Dragon-Slaying Formation in her mind.

Why on earth did this happen? How could the Dragon Slashing Formation reappear in this seemingly ordinary real world?

What kind of unknown and shocking conspiracy or amazing coincidence is hidden in this?

Countless questions flooded into Lantian's mind like a surging tide, making her feel extremely confused.

However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind like lightning...

At that moment, an incredible and even shocking thought flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.

"Host, high concentration of Yin energy detected!"

Ergou, who was originally feeling smug, suddenly made the alarm sound extremely sharp and piercing, as if it was going to pierce people's eardrums.

Lantian's heart tightened, and he reached out without hesitation and pushed open the half-open cargo door.

However, when she saw the scene clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip as if she had been greatly frightened.

In the spacious cargo hold, mountains of obsidian stood quietly in a dark corner.

Under the faint light, these obsidians actually emit a mysterious and strange purple glow.

What made Lantian feel even more horrified was that after careful observation, she discovered that the edges and corners of each stone pointed to the thirty-six Tiangang directions with incredible precision, as if someone had deliberately arranged them according to some ancient and evil formation.

There is no doubt that this is not just a batch of ordinary goods, but a powerful energy-absorbing formation that has been carefully designed and laid out!

This astonishing discovery made Lantian gasp, and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, the diving suit she was wearing suddenly made an extremely harsh friction sound, which seemed to pierce one's eardrums and made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

At the same time, her temples began to ache slightly. The pain was like countless fine needles constantly piercing it, making it unbearable.

Along with this sudden feeling of discomfort, a large number of memories, like a surging tide, continuously flooded into his mind - in the world called Xintian, when Liu Xu activated the Dragon-Slaying Formation, he used this mysterious obsidian to neutralize the yin energy in the earth veins and connect it with the Netherworld Cave.

However, the arrangement of these stones in front of him at this moment suddenly emerged in the depths of Lantian's mind, and it was almost exactly the same as the "Hachiko Ichiu" soul-calming formation of the island shrine!

This discovery made Lantian wonder:

Could it be that I have witnessed this kind of strange formation with my own eyes?

But why did it pop up from the depths of my memory without any warning at this moment?

The more Lantian thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed to him, and the doubts in his mind grew bigger and bigger.

However, the strong shock that surged from deep within her heart made her instantly put that doubt behind her.

At this moment, she opened her eyes wide, staring in disbelief at the obsidian piled up in front of her like a black ocean.

The number is simply staggering!

Her eyes were drawn to penetrate the obsidian and explore the secrets hidden within.

"Ergou, immediately conduct a comprehensive scan of the energy flow of this stone formation!"

Lantian's voice rang out rapidly in his consciousness, with unquestionable decisiveness and urgency.

At the same time, she stared at the scene in front of her, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.

The small and exquisite detector suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light, like a flash of lightning that cuts through the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a holographic projection quickly appeared above her mask, and the picture it presented was breathtaking.

It turned out that a total of seventy-two invisible spiritual veins stretched out from the deep and boundless seabed like a winding dragon, and finally all converged on a bronze tripod placed in the center of the cargo hold.

What is even more unexpected is that in the core position of this warehouse, there actually stands such a mysterious bronze tripod!

It stands there quietly, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere, having experienced the vicissitudes of countless years.

The snake-like patterns all over the tripod's body perfectly overlap with the tattoo on Cangshan's neck.

At that moment, the entire ship seemed to be violently shaken by an invisible giant hand, and the violent tremor made everyone unstable.

The obsidian array seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and began to buzz. The sound became louder and louder, like countless bees flying in the air.

The originally calm sea water began to rotate rapidly counterclockwise at this moment, quickly forming a huge vortex, and the powerful suction force was chilling.

Lantian tightly gripped the oxygen cylinder in his hand. He could hear the creaking sound of being overwhelmed by the heavy load. The mask display screen was flashing red warnings frantically: "Abnormal pressure! Psychic energy overload!"

It all happened so quickly that he didn't have time to react.

However, at this moment, the anxious voice of Deser Ergou sounded in Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness:

"Host, retreat quickly! This is a spiritual resonance phenomenon! It will be dangerous if you don't leave now!"

However, Lantian did not listen to this advice. Instead, he pulled out the dagger from his waist without hesitation.

With a determined look and swift movements, she thrust the dagger straight into the bronze tripod in front of her.

In an instant, there was a crisp sound, and the secret compartment at the ear of the tripod suddenly popped open as if a mechanism was triggered.

Then, a rusty pocket watch tumbled out. Lan Tian instinctively reached out to catch it, his eyes immediately falling on the sharp handwriting on the inside of the dial—"1968.3.14."

The moment he saw the date, Lantian's breathing suddenly stopped and time froze at this moment.

An indescribable feeling surged in her heart. She stared blankly at the pocket watch in her hand, her heart full of confusion and shock.

What secrets does this seemingly ordinary pocket watch hide?

Why am I here? A series of questions swirled in Lantian's mind, leaving him at a loss for a moment.

——This date was exactly the date she had circled in red on the calendar in her room on the night she crossed over to this world.

The space in Lantian suddenly burst into golden light, which actually resonated with the bronze tripod.

The sea water suddenly became as thick as glue, and the purple light of the obsidian array turned into a physical chain that wrapped around her ankles.

Lantian saw the afterimage of the scene where the arrogant Ergou was desperately trying to broadcast it to her:

Before the freighter sank, the real Cangshan threw something shining with golden light into this bronze tripod.

Lantian recognized the outline of the object at a glance. It was the Yin Storage Stone.

However, it should not be completely a Yin Storage Stone. I don’t know what layer is covered on the outside.

&34;Warning! Host's heart rate exceeds critical value!&34;

The arrogant Ergou forcibly started the emergency procedure.

When Lan Tian was urged by Desser Ergou to mechanically leave the cargo hold, she caught a last glimpse of the black light seeping out from the bottom of the tripod, which was condensing into words:

&34;When the sun warms and I recall the lost memories, I will return to Jiuyuan. &34;

The moment I broke out of the water, the sun was rising from the sea level.

Lantian slumped on the beach. The pocket watch she had just taken out, which she held tightly in her hand, suddenly wound itself up.

The hands of the watch flew counterclockwise and stopped at three o'clock in the morning of March 14, 1945 - the moment the freighter set sail.

The sea breeze brought a faint chanting sound, which sounded exactly the same as the Rebirth Mantra that Liu Xu chanted when he activated the Dragon-Slaying Formation in that world.

Lantian sighed to himself.

"Serious Ergou, can you still find the meaning of 'kill'? I think this bronze tripod must be connected to something."

As she spoke, she picked up the pocket watch in her hand and examined it carefully.

Lantian discovered that most of the material of this pocket watch was made of obsidian.

The black watch body emits a dark glow in the sunlight.

Lantian stared at the light blankly, and his brain started to work rapidly.

The arrogant Ergou immediately started to get busy.

Now, it is certain that we cannot go to the bottom of the sea.

The energy erupted from this shipwreck was so powerful that it carried a strong sense of strangulation.

Although the original owner's body had been transformed by his own training system, it still couldn't bear it.

A flash of inspiration came to Lantian's mind again.

She suddenly ordered the busy searching Ergou:

"Er Gouzi, check this pocket watch. It's made of obsidian."

"Sister Lantian, I'm looking for it, don't worry. Ah, ah, test, oh, I know."

The arrogant Ergou made Lantian a little confused.

Why do you suddenly need to check the pocket watch?

Can’t keep up with Sister Lantian’s thinking?

The arrogant Ergou thought that his brain was crazy!

"Host, this pocket watch is made of ninety-nine pieces of obsidian. I have now completed the testing of all these obsidian samples."

The holographic projection of the arrogant Ergou suddenly appeared in Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness without any warning.

The dazed Lantian was shocked by Tongzi's bold move.

She felt more and more that this Tongzi had more and more tricks, and he seemed to be filled with an extreme desire to possess a good figure.

"Each stone contains a cultivator's spiritual root fragment embedded in it. Based on genetic comparison..."

The electronic sound suddenly became distorted.

"All of these spiritual roots are of the same origin as you, the host."

Lantian crushed the obsidian in his palm, and the purple crystal chips formed a Tai Chi pattern in the air.

As the pattern slowly disappeared, a dull roar suddenly came from the bottom of the sea.

"Er Gouzi."

Lantian shouted in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The arrogant Ergou started to check what was going on before Lantian even opened his mouth.

At the bottom of the sea, the entire sunken ship began to glow, and seventy-two spiritual veins rushed towards the capital like awakened dragons.

At this time, there was no need for Ergou to report to her. Lantian tore off the mask that was still dripping with water, and her pupils reflected the blood-red vortex that was gradually forming between the sea and the sky.

&34;What Cangshan is going to initiate is not assassination, but...&34; She looked at the pocket watch in her hand, and the dial glass suddenly exploded, revealing the structure of the miniature soul-devouring instrument inside, with bright and dark eyes.

She spoke quietly, and one could even hear her teeth gnashing.

&34;He wants to devour the energy of the entire world and gain eternal life! Er Gouzi, look, this plot of yours really has a hidden plot, right?&34;

The cocky Ergou suddenly shrank into the corner of Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness, not daring to say a word.

Can you blame him for this?

That's the storyline given by the main system.

He transmits information to the host in the same way as the main system transmits it to him.

Lantian curled his lips. There was no hint in the plot that the shipwreck on the seabed of Cangshan was meant to deal with the two spiritual veins in the territory.

Due to the strict control in the country, he simply couldn't afford to build such a massive "Soul-Calming Formation." Furthermore, this formation needed to be nurtured and operated in a place of extreme cold for three years before it could penetrate the earth's core through the suppressed souls and connect to the "Soul-Calming Formation" across the capital. Once this connection was established, everything could be continuously transported.

Now that I think about it, the turbulence on the seabed just now was because the two soul-calming formations had just established a connection. Because of the huge energy, it caused turbulent magnetic fields.

Lantian frowned slightly at this time.

Where did Cangshan know all these things?

You have to know that in the Dharma Ending Age, not only spiritual energy disappears, but also various cultivation techniques. These things are common in the world of cultivation, but they are scarce in the mortal world.

However, now is not the time to think about these things.

"Let's go, Er Gouzi. I'll follow the spiritual energy flow and return to the capital as soon as possible."
