Li Yan was not in a hurry, but waited for Shuang Qingqing to sort out his thoughts, but Shuang Qingqing only paused for five or six breaths before continuing.
"I can only guess some of the reasons now. One is that although the materials for refining the five hundred Arhats are the same, the eighteen Arhats need to be infused with the weird telepathy mentioned before when refining them.
Only later will it be possible to use this mind power as the root to absorb external spiritual energy and slowly strengthen itself, or once this weird mind power is used up, a monk who practices this technique will need to inject it again.
Maybe the process of cultivating this kind of weird mental power is very difficult, so even if they get a lot of these strange materials, they can only refine part of them in the end.
Why are there eighteen Arhats? Junior brother, you already know this. Buddhism has the Eighteen Arhat Formation. This can form the most complete Arhat Formation, and it is also the most perfect formation that can be completed with the fewest puppets.
These cannot be regarded as my explanations, they are also just my guesses. Maybe only after I study them, I may have a more real answer. "
Shuang Qingqing told what he knew and guessed without any concealment. Li Yan also knew from Shuang Qingqing's descriptions how much Shuang Qingqing valued these puppets.
Once Shuang Qingqing can use this to research some method, whether it is directly using these eighteen Arhats, or Shuang Qingqing can refine it himself.
Then Puppet Arts from Shuang Qingqing will definitely take her to a new level. Although Puppet Arts is not as rare as soul skills, looking at the entire world of immortality, it is definitely not too much.
It is many times more difficult for a Puppet Master to get such a perfect match than it is for a normal monk to meet an immortal. It is her great luck that Shuang Qingqing can get such a perfect match this time.
Now that Shuang Qingqing is controlling the purple-winged flying phoenix, there is absolutely no problem in fighting the Late Void Refinement Realm monk. And once he can get the method of superimposing power like the Eighteen Arhats, he can put it to use.
Li Yan felt that Shuang Qingqing's combat power at that time was to fight against monk Body Integration Realm. It was estimated that there would not be too many problems, and he could even win the battle.
The skills practiced by Shuang Qingqing are not the best, so she cannot rely on her own skills to make herself particularly powerful like herself or the monk "Guiqulaixi".
But her Puppet Arts is unique, so she was able to fight multiple people of the same level with her own strength.
Although Shuang Qingqing later entered the "Anyue" company, she only climbed up from the lower level, and it was not easy to obtain the top skills.
And Li Yan feels that even if Shuang Qingqing comes to the Immortal Spirit Realm, even if he can get advanced skills, Shuang Qingqing is probably not willing to easily rebuild it from scratch.
Her path has long been fixed, which must be to reach the supreme Heavenly Dao through the refining of weapons, so she will only focus on the refining of weapons, to be precise, the special refining device Dao Path - Puppet Arts!
All methods return to the sect. As long as she continues to gain insights on this path, continue to gain insights in the refining of weapons, and conform to one Heavenly Dao after another, her cultivation will also continue to move forward.
Later, the exercises practiced by Shuang Qingqing will gradually become self-explored and created. This is similar to Li Yan's current exercises Soul Cultivator.
Both of them came from the lower realm. There are too many exercises in the lower realm that can only support cultivation to a certain level. Later, they will either have to practice other similar exercises again or explore on their own Heavenly Dao.
Shuang Qingqing At this time, it is very difficult to practice other skills again, especially if you want to get the skills that suit Puppet Arts.
And retraining actually requires constant re-adjustment and disrupts too much of her previous experience. She probably won't choose that path.
However, this is just Li Yan's guess, because he doesn't know if Shuang Qingqing will change some perceptions due to different experiences after coming to the upper realm. The two never talk about each other's core skills.
"I have another question. Since this is the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats, why are there still puppets deployed here?
According to our previous analysis, this ancient city of immortality should have undergone tremendous changes, so all the good things here should be taken away. "
Li Yan thought for a while and asked again. It was only in the second half of his sentence that he already had some answers.
That is, if this kind of statue puppet is not controlled by anyone, it may require certain conditions to be triggered. Shuang Qingqing frowned and thought about this, but he also slowly spoke.
"I have thought about this just now, and I also think it would be reasonable to say that these statue puppets are deployed to protect this place. After all, the combined strength is considered very strong, and at least it can be used as a warning.
But no one took them away, which means that the enemy most likely did not discover the secret.
And if these puppets are used by disciples to hone their cultivation, this environment is obviously not very suitable. Even if the monk is also a cultivator, he is a monk first.
Therefore, they just want to refine the Eighteen Arhat Formation to temper the disciples below, so they should refine it separately and put it in the training place.
In such a solemn place, how can some disciples be allowed to punch and kick here? It is simply disrespectful to the Buddha in their hearts.
I think that the outermost layer of this temple must have a temple protection formation to protect the entire temple, and at the same time, important places such as 500 Arhat Hall are protected by separate formations.
Placing the eighteen Arhat puppets here should be an auxiliary attack method embedded in the formation of this hall, so it will appear more reasonable.
Think about if the enemy falls into it, and if these Arhat puppets are combined with the power of the outer layers of formations, you can imagine how powerful these puppets are.
With the help of certain conditions, it is possible to kill the Body Integration Realm monk!
Maybe the incoming enemy was too strong, or there was an unparalleled powerful formation master among the incoming enemies. After they attacked here, they were not in a hurry to attack forcefully.
Instead, he first wanted to destroy the entire formation of this hall, and then search for the treasures here without any casualties.
The opponent may have finally accomplished this and destroyed the grand formation in this hall. Then the various auxiliary attack methods originally used by the grand formation will become useless after losing the main formation.
Therefore, no one has noticed anything unusual about these eighteen Arhats, but there is one point worth discussing. Even when the enemy comes to search here, they should pass by here just like us.
But why didn't these eighteen Arhats launch an attack when they were here, and why did they suddenly launch an attack today?
But before, the Arhat who was sitting on a deer shouted, "Evil obstacles and evil things, be ambushed!" ", is it possible that there is something evil or demonic about us, which re-energized the Buddha's weird mind power.
Of course, all these speculations are based on the fact that there have been enemy attacks here. Otherwise, the eighteen Arhats left here may have other purposes.
There is another explanation that is more suitable for the current situation, that is, there is some kind of terrifying divine punishment, which instantly wipes out all the monks here.
Then this city was punished by heaven and sank directly into the sea. I think this explanation may be more appropriate, and we were the first batch of people to enter after the punishment.
That's why I saw that this place was completely like a dead city, with not even an ant at all. Everything would die under that horrible punishment from heaven. That's why Arhat Statue attacked after sensing that there were creatures approaching! "
While Shuang Qingqing was talking, she glanced at Li Yan. She actually felt that the first possibility was also relatively high, but she didn't say it explicitly.
Li Yan is a disciple of the Wangliang Sect. There are many evil things in the disciples of this sect, and the Buddhist sect prides itself on subduing and eliminating demons.
So when Li Yan came close before, it would stimulate that weird telepathy. Li Yan probably guessed it himself, but it was very weak when the aura of the evil thing on his body was not revealed.
So he directly borrowed the aura of that thing, and attacked Arhat Statue first, and then completely awakened the weird telepathy power of the Eighteen Arhats...
Don't say that Shuang Qingqing is just speculating, but the result is almost without too many deviations. This woman's mind must be first-rate.
Li Yan nodded. In addition to not knowing much about puppets and Buddhism, he also had similar thoughts to Shuang Qingqing for some subsequent matters.
He also saw the look of Shuang Qingqing, and of course Li Yan would not explain it. In fact, Shuang Qingqing knew that he had practiced Body Refining Technique, but the specific situation was not clear.
Li Yan also didn't want to waste time explaining. Even if he said something that might be caused by Qiongqi's aura, it wouldn't make any sense.
"Then senior sister is waiting for me here, but we still have to pay attention to unknown dangers. This hall may not be the only one in this situation!"
Li Yan said nothing more and just handed over to Shuang Qingqing.
"Don't worry, this is not my sister's refining room. I will naturally make all kinds of preparations first. If there is anything you need me to do, I must send a message to my sister as soon as possible!"
Shuang Qingqing's beautiful eyes blinked at Li Yan. Li Yan was still the careful boy.
This is because I'm afraid that if I get so excited about seeing these statues, I might forget that I'm still in an unknown place once I study these statues here.
Mo Jian now seems to have the dangers here under her control, but unknown dangers may appear at any time, so she must also lay out some means to warn and prevent.
Li Yan immediately stopped talking. Although he had not finished watching the main hall at this time, he was no longer willing to stay here any longer. In a flash, he had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
"Be careful!"
In his mind, Shuang Qingqing's oriole-like voice suddenly came, with a more solemn meaning in it.
Li Yan did not look back, but with a slight smile on his lips, he flew towards the Guanyin Hall opposite...
Two and a half hours later, Li Yan's figure appeared in a Zen room at the back. He had just come out of the Mahavira Hall, which covers the largest area.
After several hours of exploration, he could no longer find anything from the two halls, and there were no more attacks. Everything returned to the way it was when he was exploring the town ahead.
He had just walked out of the back door of the Main Hall at this moment. He entered a series of dilapidated Zen rooms. Li Yan looked around and found that behind the left side of these Zen rooms, there were some looming objects in the distance.
Li Yan Divine Sense With a slight sweep, he found that about ten miles behind here, he saw many things hidden in the woods.
Li Yan Although he didn't know much about Buddhism, he still knew about normal Buddhist things compared to some special ones. There was a forest of towers, and it went straight into the mountains behind...
Li Yan stood there, rubbing his chin with one hand and thinking.
"This ancient city of cultivating immortals must have undergone great changes. Except for the eighteen statues of Arhat Statue, I have been looking for them for such a long time. Nothing good has appeared in front of me. It really feels like it has been looted.
And obvious places like the meditation room are probably similar to the main hall, so they should also be places where the enemy pays attention..."
Li Yan glanced at the scattered Zen rooms nearby again. He felt that there was no need to waste time here for the time being, so he would go to the Tallinn behind to have a look.
It is the place where monks are buried, and it is usually the place where monks place their last treasures. Of course, this will also become the main target of the enemy.
But one thing that is clear is that the possibility of placing treasures in such a place should be greater. Maybe the enemy will miss the place after visiting it?
Li Yan As soon as he thought of this, his Divine Sense spread out in an instant and swept through all the meditation rooms in this area.
He still wanted to take a rough look here. If he could find any abnormalities, it would be better. Otherwise, he would explore these rooms in detail when he came back later.
In just a few breaths, he quickly explored this place. As he expected, except for the various signs of defeat in Divine Sense, it was still the same as when he entered the city these days, and there was no unexpected discovery.
As a result, his figure suddenly turned into a light smoke and disappeared from the place...
Li Yan Walking in the tower forest, he slowly explored again. Many of the tower bases here had long been broken. Some towers were just rubble on the ground, and some seemed to have been directly punched through!
With such a scene in front of me, some relics or treasures such as Buddhist beads must have been taken away by the other party.
However, Li Yan was not in a hurry. He had already been mentally prepared for this. He mainly wanted to see if he could find the places that others had missed.
And it is obviously impossible to see such a place at a glance, and it is difficult for such a good thing to be your turn...
Seeing the towers collapsing everywhere, Li Yan knew that his guess was correct. As expected, because this was the monk's final destination, he came here to conduct a lot of search and destruction.
The degree of damage to this pagoda is much worse than that of other places in the city and temples. The pagoda has either collapsed or is riddled with holes...
Li Yan walked slowly, but he was not walking in a straight line. This was Tallinn. There were too many small tomb towers in it, and the layout was layered.
As long as he finds something that might be doubtful, he will go over there and check it out personally, and finally implement it in a general direction.
Along the way, there were patches of grass and various sizes of gravel and tiles everywhere under our feet. Under the blue-gray sky, it looked extremely depressed.
Li Yan walked quietly inside alone, without making any sound...
It gives the impression that he is more like a lonely ghost, because he lost his tomb and keeps wandering around here in the windy wind, looking for his own "home"!
Li Yan just looked around carefully, and after about a stick of incense, he came to a stone wall.
Although this is not the very back of Tallinn, it is already a remote location on the left side of the entire second half of Tallinn.
Li Yan After arriving here, while walking slowly, he suddenly found a tomb tower built on the stone wall in front of him.
This tower does not have a tower body. It just has a one-story tower-shaped cavity about a foot large in the stone wall. In the hole is a clay pot covered with yellow cloth.
This is a small tomb built on the mountain. It is different from the group of towers Li Yan saw earlier, but there is no such situation.
Perhaps because it is a remote mountain location, another method was used to form the pagoda and then place it.
Li Yan was staring into the cave at this time. The yellow cloth on the pottery pot had already been covered with dust. Only its original color could be faintly seen, and there was still a faint spiritual energy on it. No matter how you say it, this is the place where immortal cultivators are buried.
And this is still in the Immortal Spirit Realm, so these items are also refined treasures. However, apart from absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and preserving ashes for a long time, these treasures do not have many other functions.
Therefore, as long as there are no other treasures placed inside, and the people who come here are not crazy and poor, they will certainly not take such things away.
