It should be the cellar used by farmers to store grain. The cellar was several feet deep and had been half-opened. Lu Ye came to the cellar entrance and looked down, and immediately saw a dirty little face.
The little girl looked to be only seven or eight years old. She didn't know how long she had been hiding here. Her face was sallow, and she was obviously suffering from malnutrition recently. If this place hadn't been used to store food, she might have starved to death.
In a somewhat dim environment, only one pair of eyes is still bright.
The little girl was huddled under the cellar, looking up at Lu Ye, and assuming a defensive posture, like an angry little beast.
Banci came to Lu Ye and looked down: "I wanted to bring her up, but she didn't want to, and she punched and kicked me. I was afraid of hurting her, so I couldn't use force."
If she didn't have such concerns, how could a little mortal girl with no spiritual practice be helpless? But if Ban Ci really wanted to force him, she wouldn't be able to resist.
Lu Ye thought for a while, then jumped into the cellar.
As soon as he stood upright, the little girl rushed forward like crazy, and as expected, she punched and kicked him as Ban Ci said.
Lu Ye endured it silently and raised his hand to touch the little girl's head.
But it didn't matter that the other party suddenly hugged his hand and opened his mouth to bite it.
Lu Ye didn't hide, he let her bite him on his hand, and didn't even use any power to protect her.
The little girl just bit his hand and stared at him fiercely with her big eyes, as if he was the sworn murderer of her entire family.
The accusation of blood and tears in those eyes touched his heart and made Lu Ye sigh.
Although this realm is not big, there must be at least tens of millions of humans living here. However, after a disaster, almost everyone died, and only this little girl was left alive. I don’t know whether it was luck or not. Unlucky.
There was pain in his hand, but to him, this pain was no different than an ant bite. He slowly raised his other hand, stroked it on the little girl's head, and said softly: "It's okay. do not be afraid!"
After a long time, the fierceness in the little girl's eyes gradually faded away, and the force of biting his hand gradually became smaller.
After a while, Lu Ye picked her up and rushed out of the cellar.
Such a young child had been hiding in the cellar for an unknown amount of time, eating, drinking, and urinating inside, so his whole body stank.
Lu Ye didn't seem to notice, and looked at Ban Ci: "Take her to take a bath!"
After nodding half-heartedly, he reached out to pick up the child.
Unexpectedly, the little girl held Lu Ye's neck tightly with both hands, unwilling to let go. She even buried her entire face into Lu Ye's chest, rubbing Lu Ye's body full of dirt.
Ban Ci asked curiously: "Am I so annoying?"
In any case, she is also a beauty. She tried to bring the child out of the cellar before but failed. Now that Lu Ye has brought him out, the child actually ignores her.
Lu Ye also tried to coax him, but no matter what he said, the little girl hugged him tightly and never let go.
The two looked at each other, feeling helpless.
After a big change, Xu had been living alone for so long in fear. The little girl was extremely vigilant. Now that Lu Ye had gained a little bit of her trust, she quickly developed a strong sense of dependence on Lu Ye.
"Are you coming by yourself?" Banci said with a smile.
Lu Ye could only do it by himself.
He took the little girl in his arms and fetched water from the well, then cast a spell to boil the water, found a large wooden bucket, adjusted the water temperature, and then put the little girl in.
"Take off your clothes and wash them yourself!" Lu Ye told her.
But the little girl just sat in the barrel and looked at him intently, fearing that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Lu Ye had a headache, and after a few words of persuasion and a promise that he would not leave, the little girl slowly started to act.
After changing the water several times, the little girl was washed clean. Banci had found the girl's clothes from the ruins, brought them over, and helped her put them on.
This time she didn't reject Banci too much.
After washing, the little girl walked to Lu Ye again, reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes and stood quietly without making a sound.
The sound of "Gululu" suddenly came out. Lu Ye looked down at the little girl's belly and realized that she must be hungry, so he found some food from this realm and cooked it for her to eat.
After finishing the meal, the little girl slowly fell asleep, which was very sweet.
Lu Ye and Ban Ci were in trouble, and they looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Lu Ye said, "What should I do?"
They were just passing by here. They were originally going to the secret place Banci mentioned, but now they have rescued a little girl. Such a young child has never even been exposed to spiritual practice. It is definitely inappropriate to bring her around, but it can be left behind. It's even more inappropriate to come down.
She is the only living person in this entire realm, and it would be too cruel to leave her here.
Banci hesitated for a moment and said, "Leave it to me."
Saying this, he raised his hand and offered an object. The object looked inconspicuous, just like a piece of coal briquettes. But with the help of half-word's spiritual power, he used the coal briquettes to shine on the little girl's figure, and out of thin air, Mysterious fluctuations came out one after another, and the little girl suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ye stared at the coal briquettes in Banci's hand, astonished: "Small world?"
Banci was also surprised: "Fellow Daoist Li has good eyesight, he can actually recognize that this is a small world."
Lu Ye was silent. Of course he didn't recognize it, he just made a casual guess. He didn't expect that this was really a small world. After all, as far as he knew, the only treasure that could contain living people was the small world.
He saw some records in Xiyuan Pavilion and knew that this thing was an extremely rare treasure. No one knew how this treasure was born. However, from the outside, there was nothing strange about it at all, but there was nothing special about it on the inside. Become a world.
This world may be small and has no killing or defensive effects, but it has some wonderful features.
Taking in living people is only an insignificant role of it.
Ban Ci actually has a small world, which makes Lu Ye even more confused about her. This thing is not something that ordinary monks can have.
"Don't starve her to death." Lu Ye warned, that little girl is just a mortal and still needs to eat and drink. Even if she is taken in by Ban Ci, if she is left alone for a long time, she will definitely be in trouble.
"Don't worry." Ban Ci replied, collecting the food that Lu Ye had found before, and then went to find more food and water, and threw them into the small world together.
Without any worries, the two set out on their journey again.
After more than a month of haste, we finally reached our destination.
On a huge floating land, Ban Ci collected his star boat and stood side by side with Lu Ye in front of a deep cave entrance.
"Is this here?" Lu Ye asked.
Banci nodded.
Lu Ye looked around and saw nothing special.
Ban Ci knew what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "It's precisely because it's nothing special that it doesn't attract people's attention. Although this place is remote, there will always be some monks passing by. If it was really special, it would have been taken away long ago. People have found it, and the mystery in that secret place has a certain limit. It will take a long time to recover every time it is used. If you want to redeem your spiritual power in the future, you can come here."
Lu Ye nodded: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your kindness!"
However, if he really wanted to redeem his spiritual power, he could just go to the Xingxiu Palace directly, and there would be no need to go to such trouble.
"Go in." Ban Ci said, falling into the hole first, followed closely by Lu Ye.
However, after entering, Lu Ye waved his hand and threw a royal weapon nearby. This was out of habit. If he entered such an unknown place rashly, he would always leave a back-up weapon behind.
He was somewhat puzzled. According to his recent observations of Ban Ci, this woman should have a very good background, otherwise she would not even have such things as the small world. In this case, if she really wanted to find someone to protect her, how could she choose to do so? Own?
It didn't make sense that she had any intentions towards him. Lu Ye didn't feel any malice from her, and she even revealed the location of the secret place to him.
I can’t figure it out, and I’m too lazy to think about it.
The entrance to the cave is very deep, and it took dozens of breaths to fall down to the bottom. Banci, who arrived here first, had already shot out some lighting objects around, and the hazy light shone in all directions.
Only then did Lu Ye see the environment here clearly. It seemed to be a huge cave. There were strange stone pillars in all directions. Only at the front, there were strange stone slabs, like stairs, one step at a time. The ground extends upward.
Lu Ye was surprised, because the stone slabs clearly had no points of strength, but they were floating out of thin air. There were ninety-nine stone slabs in total, extending up to a height of nearly a hundred feet. On the highest level of stone slabs, there were still There is a strange stone tripod, and hazy mist is flowing out.
The mist flowed out of the stone tripod and flowed down the stone slab like a waterfall.
Banci observed carefully and said with a smile: "It seems that no one has been here recently. Fellow Daoist Li, you will stay here. If someone breaks in, please stop me."
Lu Ye nodded. Although the chance of this happening was low, he still asked him to come over half-heartedly just to be prepared for such a situation. There are some things that should be feared even if they are not afraid of ten thousand.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Lu Ye immediately began to set up the formation.
Banci did not rush to take action, but silently crossed his legs and adjusted his breathing for a while.
After Lu Ye had almost arranged the formation here and Ban Ci had adjusted herself to the best condition, she got up and walked towards the stairs.
Lu Ye was very curious about how monks' spiritual power was tempered in this place, so he naturally wanted to observe it.
What he saw was that Ban Ci was stepping on the bottom step, but what made Lu Ye a little confused was that Ban Ci seemed to be under a lot of pressure with this step.
Because she moved very slowly, her first foot landed on the step, and it took three breaths for her next foot to land.
After standing firm, the white mist on the stairs poured into Banci like a living creature, disappeared into her body.
Lu Ye estimated that the white mist-like thing should be the source of helping people refine their spiritual power.
Banci paused for a moment, probably refining the power of the white mist, and then took steps towards the second staircase.
