Chapter 1640 - 1640: Methods of Entering the Mountain (Nine Updates)
"No one can enter Medicine King Mountain? Isn't that a bit too much?" Huangfu Ziyu whispered, "Taoist Wuji and Buddhist Shakya, are either of them ordinary people? Could they also be unable to enter Medicine King Mountain?"Huangfu Ziyu just thought Bai Li Xi was exaggerating, so she muttered. However, Bai Li Xi had sharp ears and immediately turned to look at Huangfu Ziyu, "Young lady, don't doubt me. I can tell you, unless someone stumbles in by accident, no one in this world can enter. Neither Taoist Wuji nor Buddhist Shakya can make it through!"
"Really?" Ye Qing was surprised. He had heard of the reputations of Taoist Wuji and Buddhist Shakya.
Although Shakya was shameless, it had to be said that his strength was indeed very formidable. To trap the Corpse Ghost Dragon for so long was not something just anyone could do. As for Taoist Wuji, a figure said to be as famous as Buddhist Shakya, his strength must not be much inferior. Moreover, the Taoists are skilled in formations; even Taoist Wuji can't enter Medicine King Mountain, how is that possible? Could Divine Doctor An Shiping's research on formations surpass that of Taoist Wuji?
"What? You think I'm bragging?" Bai Li Xi looked at Ye Qing and said, "That's because you don't know how this great formation of Medicine King Mountain was created. If you knew where it came from, you wouldn't doubt my words at all!"
"Then how did this great formation come about?" Ye Qing asked Bai Li Xi suspiciously, "Wasn't it created by Divine Doctor An Shiping himself?"
Bai Li Xi smiled mysteriously and asked, "Want to know?"
Ye Qing nodded, and Bai Li Xi laughed, suddenly saying, "I'm just not telling you!"
"..." Ye Qing was speechless. This Sai Hua Tuo Bai Li Xi, how could he be such a person?
"The great formation of Medicine King Mountain is indeed very powerful," Ding Lianshun suddenly said. "Heavenly Master also came to Medicine King Mountain before. He just walked around the perimeter and didn't enter. He said, basically no one in this world can enter Medicine King Mountain!"
"Even the Heavenly Master said so?" Ye Qing was astonished. It seems that this matter is indeed true.
"How about that? I wasn't lying to you guys!" Bai Li Xi turned to look at the Medicine King Mountain ahead, "So, even if the Corpse Ghost Dragon comes, as long as we get into Medicine King Mountain, the Corpse Ghost Dragon can't do anything to us either."
"You can hide in Medicine King Mountain, but what about the others?" Ding Lianshun suddenly asked. Yin Xianzi was still unconscious, so obviously, she couldn't be taken into Medicine King Mountain. Leaving her outside, Ding Lianshun was certainly not at ease. If the Corpse Ghost Dragon came and took Yin Xianzi away, what then?
"Didn't I just say, as long as you enter Medicine King Mountain, the Corpse Ghost Dragon can't do anything to you?" Bai Li Xi said, "I didn't say you couldn't enter Medicine King Mountain."
"But didn't you say that to enter Medicine King Mountain, you need the Divine Doctor's Order?" Ding Lianshun said, "And, it has to be from eight different positions, only eight people can enter. What kind of rule is that? We have more than ten people here, so what about the others left behind?"
"You didn't understand me!" Bai Li Xi shook his head, "What I said was, only these eight people, holding the Divine Doctor's Order, entering Medicine King Mountain from specific positions, will my master's legacy appear, allowing someone to inherit it. That doesn't mean others can't enter Medicine King Mountain. On the contrary, others can still enter, but they can't go in from those eight specific positions. And only those eight positions lead to where my master's legacy is. Meaning, entering the mountain from elsewhere, it is impossible to receive my master's legacy!"
"I see!" Everyone suddenly understood. Actually, Ye Qing had been worried about this all along. If Huangfu Ziyu and the Wolf Monk were left outside and ran into the Corpse Ghost Dragon, it would be truly dangerous.
"That's not right!" Ding Lianshun suddenly said, "According to you, if we can enter Medicine King Mountain, wouldn't the Corpse Ghost Dragon be able to as well? If he gets in and runs into everyone, then what?"
Bai Li Xi said, "Medicine King Mountain is so large, and when you enter, it's like entering the great formation. Within this formation, even if you're separated by ten meters, it might as well be a thousand miles; hard to reach. Such a large Medicine King Mountain, unless the Corpse Ghost Dragon happens to walk near you, you'd encounter him. But that chance is negligible; unless your luck is terribly bad, and the Corpse Ghost Dragon walks right to you, then who else but you would get killed?"
Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat reassured. So, it seemed that as long as Huangfu Ziyu and the others entered Medicine King Mountain, they would basically be safe.
"I still feel uneasy!" Ding Lianshun spoke again.
Bai Li Xi instantly got angry, glaring at Ding Lianshun and shouting, "Seriously, are you done yet? How come you're full of 'not right' and 'uneasiness'? Why are you so troublesome? Are you a troublemaker?"
Ding Lianshun was startled by Bai Li Xi's outburst and hesitated a little, "I... I just want to ask, once they enter the formation, how will they get out? It's good to escape the Corpse Ghost Dragon, but if people get trapped inside, then... it's better not to go in!"
"The great formation my master left behind has its ways; it won't trap people," Bai Li Xi paused and continued, "Besides, as long as we enter the mountain from those eight positions, we will be able to see everything inside Medicine King Mountain clearly. At that time, even if they can't get out of the formation, we can go and bring them out. What's so difficult about that? Hey, I'm telling you, stop causing trouble. Trust me, you won't go wrong. As long as these people hide inside Medicine King Mountain, the Corpse Ghost Dragon can do nothing to them!"
Ding Lianshun opened his mouth but didn't speak further. He couldn't help it since Bai Li Xi was the most familiar with the situation inside Medicine King Mountain, everyone had to rely on him.
"Anyone else have an opinion?" Bai Li Xi asked loudly, his eyes sweeping over everyone as if ready to pounce. Judging by his fierce look, it seemed to say he'd spit in the face of anyone who dared speak up.
After seeing Ding Lianshun get a scolding, no one dared to provoke Bai Li Xi. Everyone immediately had no opinions, including Bai Li Xi's junior brother Ning Qianshu, who rarely refrained from bantering with his senior brother; his main focus was on Medicine King Mountain.
Going into Medicine King Mountain to inherit Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy was an opportunity he had been waiting for decades. At this moment, he could hardly contain his excitement.
"If there are no more opinions, let's decide who goes into the mountain." Bai Li Xi turned to Ye Qing, "Ye Qing, Lin Tianyou, Heavenly Lord Shen, and you guys, four people on your side, plus me, that's five people in total. Ning Qianshu, you have three Divine Doctor's Orders, which three of your side are going in?"
Bai Li Xi calculated, having also included the masked elder. It seemed he had already arranged everything. The two Divine Doctor's Orders in the masked elder's hand were probably given by him; everything was in his plan.
Ning Qianshu's side was already arranged; he himself would definitely go in, followed by Ding Lianshun. Originally, he planned for Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun to accompany him into the mountain, but with Yin Xianzi's current state, she couldn't go. So, the third Divine Doctor's Order was given to his first disciple, Liu Ruxiang.
"Good, now that the participants are settled, I'll arrange the positions," Bai Li Xi said. "These eight positions were left by my master. Regardless of the position you enter, if you have the opportunity, you can obtain what my master left behind. Without opportunity, no matter which position you choose, you won't find my master's legacy. So, these eight positions are freely chosen; anyone can go wherever they wish. However, remember, one key point: one position allows only one person, and they must have the Divine Doctor's Order, or else my master's legacy will not appear!"
"Stop nagging and get on with the arrangements!" Ning Qianshu said impatiently; he had been waiting long enough.
Bai Li Xi was immediately displeased, "How is this nagging? I'm reminding you not to make mistakes. If you mess up and my master's legacy doesn't appear, wouldn't this trip be wasted?"
"Enough already, we understand. Hurry up and arrange it," Ye Qing quickly interjected, wanting to prevent another argument between Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu—they'd argue forever otherwise. It's best to nip their disputes in the bud and focus on getting into the mountain.
Bai Li Xi reluctantly looked at Ning Qianshu, "Seriously, look how rude he is. Who talks like that?"
Ning Qianshu opened his mouth but remained silent because he knew if he spoke, their argument would never end.
"We'll discuss this later; let's focus on entering the mountain," Ye Qing said, "The Corpse Ghost Dragon might already be here, and who knows how long Wanyan Hongfeng's great formation can hold it. We should quickly arrange our positions, in case the Corpse Ghost Dragon arrives and we're still not ready. If it stops us, Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy might fall into its hands, causing great destruction!"
