Ah~~~~
Angry and helpless roars sounded, and the world in front of him suddenly changed. Large red walls and black tiles, broken Buddha statues, only half of the stupa...
Unable to believe what he was seeing, Xu Wen took a few steps back, tripped over something under his feet and almost fell down.
A strange mist shrouded the surroundings, making the sight a little blurry, but there was a strange sense of peace and certainty.
This should be the ruins of the Western Mountains, and this strange fog is the best proof.
Was everything before really an illusion?
Even with Xu Wen's strong heart, he couldn't help but become suspicious at this moment.
With a thought, the contents of the black jade ring appeared in my heart, and the jade bottle containing the spiritual milk was still there.
Everything before was not an illusion, and the endless horizon was real, but it was just beyond his cognition for the time being.
He let out a long breath. He didn't know why, but after confirming this, he felt much more at ease.
Walking towards the place where he almost tripped before, it turned out to be a person.
Judging from the blood stains all over his body, he must have been seriously injured, but he was still breathing and was not dead yet.
Turning the man over and getting a ball of water to wash away the blood stains on his face, Xu Wen couldn't help but be surprised to find that it was Nie Laojiu.
Speaking of which, the other party is really destined to me. This is the second time we have met by chance.
However, the last time he used the Thousand Phantom Faces, the other party didn't know it was him.
This man seemed to have bad luck. Every time he met him, his life was hanging by a thread. Thinking of what happened to him, Xu Wen couldn't help but shook his head.
If it were anyone else, there would still be a choice between saving or not saving, but Nie Laojiu was a little special.
Butiangen was obtained from the other party, and he also saved him last time.
Saving people to the end, sending Buddha to the West, this can be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and you still need to lend a helping hand.
He raised his hand and took out two spiritual talismans, one of sweet rain talisman and one of recuperation talisman. The brilliance flashed and Nie Laojiu screamed a few times and slowly woke up.
"Xu...Fellow Daoist Xu, you also came to the Xishan ruins. It was you who saved me!"
Seeing Xu Wen, Nie Laojiu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Xu Wen here.
He struggled to get up, cursing, and taking out various things to heal his injuries.
He is a veteran of the martial arts world, and this is not his first time here. He has all kinds of spiritual talismans, spiritual elixirs, spiritual wines, external wound medicines and even spiritual food to replenish his vitality.
Seeing him take out everything opened his eyes to Xu Wen, who rarely went out.
"What happened to you? Why don't you have any other companions?"
When he was almost done, Xu Wen asked doubtfully.
"Companions? Damn it, my companions are all white-eyed wolves who can't get enough to eat..."
This question touched Nie Laojiu's sore spot, and he couldn't help but curse.
It took Xu Wen a long time to figure out the whole story. It turned out that after being beaten by his companions, Nie Laojiu no longer trusted anyone.
This time, he did not form a team with anyone, but came to visit the Xishan ruins alone.
With his eyes and cunning, it was smooth at first and he gained something.
But one day ago, some unknown changes suddenly occurred in this ruins, and the phantom formations that originally separated them suddenly connected briefly.
Nie Laojiu was also unlucky. He suddenly bumped into another expedition team, but there was someone in the other team who had come here to adventure with him.
What follows is a pursuit battle. Although he relied on his experience to rush into the illusory formation and get rid of the opponent, Nie Laojiu was also seriously injured. If he had not encountered Xu Wen, he would probably have died.
Xu Wen wanted to laugh a little when he heard this. If he hadn't been too arrogant after returning home with a full load, he wouldn't have betrayed his relatives like this.
"You saved my life. I give you this wooden fish. This is the best thing in my body!"
After venting his anger and looking at Xu Wen, Nie Laojiu suddenly took out a wooden fish and thrust it into Xu Wen's hand without any explanation.
Seeing that Xu Wen wanted to refuse, he pressed Xu Wen's hand heavily and said loudly:
"Although I have cheated you, but...but that's what I rely on for a living. It doesn't mean that I am the kind of bastard who doesn't know what to do and repay kindness with hatred!"
"You have to keep this thing no matter what, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!"
"It's a pity. I originally had a map here that was more valuable, but something happened last time and I gave it to someone else. Otherwise, I would definitely give it to you!"
…
Xu Wen originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard his words, he suddenly wanted to laugh, so he accepted the wooden fish without refusing.
Nie Laojiu limped away after cupping his hands.
Looking at his staggering back, Xu Wen shook his head and said nothing more.
After being betrayed by everyone, he would never team up with anyone else again, even Xu Wen, his savior.
After a few steps, Nie Laojiu suddenly turned back, looked at the confused Xu and asked:
"I heard a news that Liu Bao of the Liu family is secretly asking people about you. Although I don't know why, it's probably not a good thing. You should be careful..."
Nie Laojiu left quickly. The phantom formations here were connected one after another. Leaving one phantom formation meant entering another.
Even if you return along the original route, you may not be able to return to your original residence and meet the original people.
"Liu Bao!"
Looking at the empty ruins, Xu Wen uttered two words heavily.
If Nie Laojiu hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about this person. He didn't expect that the other party was actually asking about him.
I don’t know what the other party wants to do. Is it because of the fragment of the Blue Scale Sword?
But one thing Nie Laojiu was right about was that this kind of covert inquiry was definitely not a good thing, and the other party definitely had bad intentions.
Keeping this in mind, Xu Wen decided to rest here for a while.
This adventure was thrilling. Although there was no major danger, the impact on the soul was very great and needed some repair.
After finding a secluded place and preparing to take a good rest, Xu Wen looked at the wooden fish in his hand. Suddenly, Xu Wen's heart moved and he activated the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique.
Not expecting anything, just out of habit.
Although the realm was not much different, Xu Wen's eyes were already very high in his arms, and he really didn't like what Nie Laojiu thought was a good thing.
To Xu Wen's surprise, three gray lights rose from Muyu Mountain, one for itself and two for the handle.
The handle of this wooden fish is inlaid with several jade ornaments, among which are two gray rays of light.
No wonder Nie Laojiu said that this wooden fish was the best of all his harvests. He was an old thief who dared not say anything else, but his eyes were extremely vicious.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, Xu Wen would definitely not be as good as them.
Three days later, with his energy and energy as full as before, Xu Wen also figured out the functions of the wooden fish and the two white jade.
The wooden fish is an ordinary Buddhist ritual tool that can calm the mind, but the two jade decorations have extraordinary origins and are actually two relics.
Following the last time, Xu Wen had already harvested three relics from Nie Laojiu.
One day later, Xu Wen was very happy as he waved the Buddha's Refining Ghost Flag which had become much firmer in his hand.
Although there is no special function similar to Vajra Zen Sound, under the two relics, the largest gap in the flag pole has been repaired, and even the other gaps are much smaller.
In the past few days, Xu Wen also searched this place, but there was nothing good. He put away the Buddha Refining Ghost Flag, randomly chose a direction, and carefully explored outside.
