I would like to thank my book friends Grandpa Mi Mi and Melody of Life for their support! Thanks for the Melody of Life monthly ticket support!

Ten days after leaving Luoxia Town, through a narrow valley, Lin Yi and others came to a waterside.
The water pool surrounded by jungle is two or three miles in size. The water is covered with mist and lifeless. More than ten feet away from the water, there is no grass growing. Compared with the surrounding lush scenery, this is particularly strange.
Lin Yi stood by the water, looked around, then looked up at the sky, feeling hesitant. Pan Wenxuan on the side said: "It is already dusk, and there is still a dense forest that is difficult to walk in front of us. Besides, your companions are also exhausted. It is better to rest here for the night and start again tomorrow."
Among the group of seventeen or eighteen people, Pan Wenxuan only had something to say to Lin Yi, and he didn't even look at the rest of them.
Although Pan Wenxuan's cultivation level is low, in his eyes, mortals are mortals, and the distance between immortals and mortals is insurmountable. Perhaps, this is the rule of the world of immortality! The implication of his words was that he sympathized with those people in the world, but he still had Lin Yi's face in mind.
Lin Yi couldn't say anything about this friend who was honest but also considered himself to be otherworldly.
Everyone in the Tianlong Sect looked exhausted, and no longer had the calmness they had when they left Luoxia Town. The dry food and drinking water had long been exhausted, so they had to hunt for food in the past two days to fill their stomachs. No one except Lin Yi knew how long they would have to walk through the dark mountains and forests.
In the past, Lin Yi followed silently, but now he has to take the lead. The initial discomfort has gradually disappeared, and I can't just rush on my own, it's better to say something to everyone. Thinking of this, he walked up to Elder Meng and said to everyone: "In another three or two days, we can pass through this dense forest. We will sleep here tonight and don't go near the water to avoid accidents." !”
A few words made everyone's hearts beat! There is something wrong with that water pool. Even if no one points it out, everyone can tell. The key is to get out of the dense forest quickly.
The sky had not yet completely darkened, so Lin Yi, who was careful, still launched the Four Elephant Flag Formation early. For many days, everyone has become accustomed to resting in the formation. They are all martial arts practitioners. They sit cross-legged and meditate for a whole night. They can see the surrounding scenery, but they themselves are safe and worry-free.
This is the wonder of the formation, it is all within the control of Lin Yi. If you don't want everyone to see things, I'm afraid those sitting in the formation won't be able to see anything.
After everyone ate something simple, they sat together ten feet away from the water, with their backs to the woods. Watching the twilight fall, Lin Yi activated the formation, and the people by the woods disappeared in the blink of an eye. This is the concealment method of the flag formation. Except for Lin Yi, no one in the formation knows that he has disappeared.
"Brother Taoist, this formation of yours is very extraordinary. It can actually cover ten or twenty people in it. It has infinite uses!" Pan Wenxuan looked around and praised it.
With so many people sitting in a circle within a few feet, it didn't seem crowded at all. But sitting with some mortals made Pan Wenxuan a little uncomfortable. Therefore, when he camped every night, he always found a corner. Lin Yi was afraid of neglecting the other party, so he kept company not far away, so that it would be easier for the two of them to talk.
"Fellow Daoist Wenxuan has his own family inheritance, which is not comparable to ordinary casual cultivators. You must have seen formations before!" Lin Yi said with a smile. He didn't believe that the other party could be so poor and broke that he could chase him all the way for ten spiritual stones. A declining family, he is also a family!
"Alas! It's hard to look back on the past!" After sighing, Pan Wenxuan said softly: "Back then, my Pan family was one of the most prestigious families in Jishui County. What does the formation mean? It's just my old house with hundreds of rooms. The courtyard of the house is also guarded by layers of formations. There are dozens of monks in the family, and there are four or five masters in the foundation building stage. But things are different now. I and two uncles are the only elders in the family who can barely count themselves as Qi practitioners. A good monk!"
"As the saying goes, people are not as good as a thousand days, and flowers are not as bright as a hundred days! Things in the world are impermanent, and fellow Taoist Wenxuan needs to be more open-minded about everything! Maybe the prosperity of the Pan family will start from fellow Taoist!" Lin Yi consoled him. .
Pan Wenxuan sighed. This young man, who was bookish, modest but always a little paranoid, had a mixture of confusion and unyielding in his eyes. He was silent for a while and said: "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Dao! It's so difficult for a family to exist and thrive!"
Seeing the somewhat forthright Pan Wenxuan, his tone suddenly became reserved, knowing that he must have some difficulties. Lin Yi, whose knowledge of Daxia's world of immortality was still on the map, said with doubts: "Every family has accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation, how can it decline so easily!"
Hearing this, Pan Wenxuan turned his head and glanced at Lin Yi. Seeing that his words did not sound like ridicule, he said, "The people traveling with Brother Dao are Jianghu people, right? Although I have never been involved in Jianghu affairs, I have heard of sect disputes in Jianghu. , and even fights happen in families!”
This is not the case in the world of martial arts, it is the same with Great Shang, and the same is true with Great Xia. All he does is fame and fortune! Lin Yi felt deeply about this and nodded without saying anything.
Pan Wenxuan continued: "Behind every family, there is an immortal sect backing them. The snatching of spiritual veins and personal grievances will cause fights between the celestial sects. The weaker celestial sect will eventually lose, and the monks will be killed. , the spiritual veins are taken away, and the families to which they are attached will also suffer. This is the reason for the decline of my Pan family. In the past, the past events of the family were passed down orally from the elders of the family. "
Speaking of this, Pan Wenxuan smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "Maybe the Pan family will end with me." His decadent look at this moment is completely different from the past, and people can't help but sigh for him!
The scenery behind each person is different from the road under his feet! And there are only two final choices, one is to fall on the side of the road, and the other is to keep moving forward!
The age is almost the same as the other party, but his own experience and cognition are different. Not knowing how to comfort the other party, Lin Yi had to say: "Everything depends on people! Fellow Daoist Wenxuan, don't be discouraged!"
Pan Wenxuan nodded with gratitude! In this world, not everyone will pay attention to you when you are heartbroken. In your life, there are even fewer people who really understand you and give you useful comfort!
At this time, Pan Wenxuan, perhaps, needs a word of comfort the most!
It is already May, and the mountains and forests are extremely hot and humid, without a trace of wind. Everyone in the formation is like being in another world, and can't feel any dampness and heat.
The night is getting deeper, and a new moon like a hook rises above the treetops. Under the faint moonlight, white mist rose above the water surrounded by the woods, and slowly dispersed, as if to swallow everything.
The white mist drifted over the water, over the formation where everyone was, and enveloped the woods. When the leaves touched the mist, there was a rustling sound, and some leaves withered and turned yellow, falling without wind.
The strange phenomenon startled everyone in the formation, and everyone was moved. This is a season of blooming flowers, but it gives people a chill!
"Poisonous miasma!" This is Pan Wenxuan's voice. Everyone changed color when they heard it. If it weren't for Lin Yi's formation shielding, who could escape this poisonous miasma that would kill anyone?
"Hua-Hua-" There was a sound of water coming from the water.
The unsettled people held their breath and looked at it. The thick fog surged violently, as if blown by the wind, and rolled around. The white mist on the water became much lighter in an instant. It was just that the sound of water was getting louder, and ripples appeared on the water surface that was as quiet as dead water.
Lin Yi in the formation focused his eyes, and was also secretly surprised! At dusk, when he saw that there was no grass growing on the edge of the water, he carefully paid attention to the surroundings, but did not find any movement. After exploring with his spiritual sense, it was dark and difficult to distinguish under the water. After determining that the water was abnormal, he did not let anyone get close to the water.
Seeing the frequent strange phenomena in the water, Lin Yi couldn't help but regret it. If it wasn't late, and it was Pan Wenxuan's suggestion, he would never let everyone camp here. But it was too late to regret, and he could only blame his lucky thoughts.
"Hua——!" The sound of water became more and more violent. Just when everyone was staring, the sound of a giant breaking the water shocked the whole field, followed by the vibration of rocks falling to the ground——
"Dong——Dong——" In the water flow, a giant two or three feet big, like a stone platform, slowly emerged from the water.
A huge head was raised under the stone platform, just like the dragon in the painting book, with two fleshy horns protruding behind the head, two eyes as big as bowls half open and half closed, nostrils in front of the long snout as big as a human head, a row of fleshy whiskers under the jaw trembling constantly, and fine scales all over the body.
"Hu——" The monster opened its mouth and sprayed out a white mist, like a howling wind, and the water surface was immediately swollen and surging, with a terrifying momentum!
Someone in the formation screamed and stood up, but was stopped by Lin Yi, who sent a message to tell everyone that the formation has a way to hide and conceal, so don't panic!
"This is a poisonous turtle!" Pan Wenxuan did not speak this time, but sent a message to Lin Yi.
"The poisonous ao is also a fish-shaped dragon. It has a dragon head and a turtle back. It hides deep in the mud under the water. It is good at spitting out clouds and mist. Its body is as hard as a rock and unbreakable. Its carapace is a good thing for refining magic tools. But this beast is not yet an adult, it should be a first- or second-level monster."
Pan Wenxuan spoke slowly and was obviously very familiar with this beast. Lin Yi knew that the jade slips left by Xuanyuan Zhenren were rough and incomplete, otherwise, he would not be completely unaware of the origin of this monster when he saw it.
"Daoyou Xiao, since this thing is a second-level monster, is it easy to deal with?" Lin Yi was a little eager to try, thinking that he could kill this monster. But after thinking about it, he still asked one more question.
Pan Wenxuan shook his head repeatedly and transmitted his voice: "This beast's cultivation is not weaker than that of a cultivator in the sixth level of Qi training. Its poisonous mist is not a big deal, but its body is extremely hard. Even a cultivator in the ninth level of Qi training can hardly shake its armor. Daoist brother, don't act rashly, so as not to cause trouble!"
After listening to what Pan Wenxuan said, Lin Yi became worried. What if such a monster came ashore and crashed into the formation? If the formation revealed a flaw, the people of Tianlong Sect would inevitably be harmed by the poisonous fog.
Lin Yi had just cast two spells to strengthen the formation, and a sword rainbow came from afar, slid over the treetops, circled around the poisonous turtle, and a man jumped down from it. He was tall and handsome, and the three strands of green beard under his chin added to his calm demeanor. He landed on the ground, pointed his finger, and the flying sword flashed, and quickly expanded by more than ten feet.
The poisonous turtle, which had just reached the water's edge, felt the coming of the crisis. It shook its head, opened its mouth and roared like a lion or a tiger, the sound shook ten miles, and the surrounding fog stagnated, and its momentum was terrifying. In the formation, everyone in the Tianlong Sect was moved.
