As night fell, light rain began to fall in the sky. Then the rain quickly became heavier and soon connected the entire heaven and earth.
On the mountain path, several men in black walked quickly through it, firmly protecting the tall figure in the center.
This is a woman. After turning a corner, she stopped and looked ahead. Extending forward in the direction of his gaze, a vast and thick mountain could be vaguely seen, like a giant beast lying prone on the earth, still sleeping in the wind and rain.
After a while, they came to a cave. The man in black quickly cleared a small open space and spread a blanket on it so that the woman could sit down and rest for a while.
"The closer you get to the secret place, the more dull and depressing you feel. I don't like this feeling very much." She sighed and leaned back against the cold stone wall.
"I don't know why Your Majesty called me back this time."
"Since his last retreat, he has driven everyone out of Mo Lian Mountain. Now he suddenly asked me to go back. Is there something particularly important that needs to be completed?"
"Huh!?" She suddenly fell silent mid-sentence.
"What is that!?" The woman sat upright suddenly, narrowed her eyes to a thin slit, and stared at the white mist rising silently outside the cave.
And deep in the white mist, something strange seemed to be meandering around. It made a rustling sound, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, but it was somewhat distinct.
The white mist quickly spread towards the cave. Soon the entire cave became hazy and dreamlike.
The rustling sound is getting closer and closer, and it seems that it has already arrived. The woman took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and subconsciously tightened her tight clothes.
There was silence, as if everyone else had disappeared. She was the only one left, lost in the sudden white mist.
She didn't know what was happening now. I don’t know if all of my subordinates are dead. But even if she was ambushed, she was at a loss what to do.
Because the existence of this white mist has completely obscured her perception, let alone attacking the enemy suddenly, she can't even find traces of the enemy.
Uh-huh! Suddenly a cold and smooth touch came. She retracted her hand suddenly, her heart suddenly tightened, and she skipped a beat at this moment.
So, they originally wanted to find a cave to take shelter from the rain, but instead they broke into a giant python's lair?
The woman backed away as fast as lightning and reached out to press the talisman on her body. Katcha! Her hand was caught. The whole person seemed to have crashed into an iron tower, and his whole body was in pain.
"You, what are you..." The woman struggled desperately, but could not break away from the big hand.
Even the clothes on his body were torn to pieces, exposing large areas of skin and stained with red blood, giving it a different kind of beauty.
However, the tall man who pressed her against the wall had no expression on his face from beginning to end. There wasn't even the slightest movement in his eyes.
"Do you want to die or live?" Wei Tao released his grip, allowing her to breathe.
"In this situation, does it have anything to do with me whether I live or die?" The woman gasped,
"But I really want to know who you are, how dare you be near Mo Lian Mountain..." Katcha!
Wei Tao's hand suddenly tightened, and the powerful force made her face suddenly turn pale, and she even couldn't breathe at all.
"What a stupid woman. She doesn't even have her life in her own hands, yet she dares to threaten me verbally."
"I would like to remind you that my time is limited and I am still in a hurry, so there is no room for you to talk nonsense." He let go again and looked down.
"I've been wandering around here for two days, but I haven't been able to find your hiding place."
"So, as long as you can lead me to find Mo Lian, you can survive and even get my heartfelt thanks."
"You, you want to find the teacher?"
"You actually want to go find the teacher?" The woman was calming her breathing. She was stunned when she heard this sentence, with an expression of surprise and confusion on her face.
"If I'm not looking for him, why should I be looking for you?" Wei Tao frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that in addition to being stupid, the woman in front of him seemed to have serious hearing problems.
She was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed,
"It's really hard to find the secret place if you don't know the way."
"Since you want to find the teacher, I will take you to the secret place. I hope you won't regret it."
"I withdraw my criticism of you just now." Wei Tao waved his hand gently, and in an instant the clouds disappeared and the snake disappeared.
Several black-clothed Talisman masters were lying on the ground, motionless and sleeping soundly.
"What's your name?" He looked directly into her eyes with a gentle smile on his face.
"Compared with other Talisman Masters, you are a very interesting person, not as boring as them."
"Your Excellency, you can call me Mo Ling, Mo from Shui Mo, Ling from Bing Ling." She also laughed, as if the danger of almost dying just now was just an illusory dream.
Two days later, Wei Tao stopped at a mountain pass.
"Is this the secret place?"
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" He looked at the narrow crack in front of him, which was no more than a foot long and only a few feet wide, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Mo Ling sighed,
"Although I am not a good person, I always keep my word. Therefore, since I have agreed to take you into the secret place, I will never lead you to other places." Wei Tao was noncommittal and carefully observed everything around him. .
After a moment, he nodded slightly,
"If this is really the place, it's no wonder I didn't find the entrance." The two entered the crack and soon came to a stone wall at the end.
After getting closer, Wei Tao finally felt a vague aura, which came out from the smooth mirror-like stone wall.
He followed Mo Ling, took a step forward, and sank directly into the stone wall. It turned out to be a dark space inside.
A trail is looming, and I don't know where it will lead. After walking a certain distance, there are looming light spots floating in the void, like fireflies flying nimbly.
Wei Tao slowed down and felt carefully. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a light spot. Uh-huh! The five fingers closed quietly, but the result was inexplicably in vain.
The light point was still suspended in the void, seemingly without entity, passing directly through his palm.
Mo Ling turned around and took a look,
"It's useless. The teacher also thought of many ways to collect these things, but in the end he failed." Wei Tao said nothing, lowering his head in thought.
In silence, a dense white mist gradually appeared. Spreading rapidly in all directions. A huge snake head appeared quietly, opening its mouth and taking a deep breath like a whale.
boom! In an instant, the large spots of light disappeared. A huge spherical cavity was formed. Mo Ling was dumbfounded and stared at all this happening. He couldn't even believe his eyes for a moment.
"This feeling of great satisfaction."
"It actually directly affects the true soul." Wei Tao thought in his heart and drove the snake's tail to attack everywhere.
Quickly swallow up and absorb the surrounding light spots. At this moment, some enlightenment suddenly arose in his heart.
"These spots of light seem to be the broken true spirit."
"And they all point to a name, called Giant Spirit." Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with doubts flashing in his eyes.
He has always thought that the hidden place and Xi Mu are inextricably linked. But he didn't expect to find something related to the giant spirit inside.
"I still remember that the reason why Qing Mantra went to find Ximu was because the giant spirit had fallen. If I wanted to drag it forward to find an opportunity, it would be best if I could pounce on the giant spirit's corpse and have a full meal."
"So, the world here has the mark of the giant spirit, so Ximu will weave the spider web here. Thinking further, Ximu may have discovered something wrong with the giant spirit earlier, and secretly concealed it from Qing Mantis. We are planning to take this place to ourselves." Wei Tao felt his energy become more and more abundant, and thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind, connecting bit by bit all the discoveries he made after arriving in this world.
At this moment, a dull light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes. A tall and heavy altar appeared in front.
The four corners of the top burned with blazing white flames, which were the source of all the light. There is also a vaguely visible translucent spider web, knotted in the void above the altar, crystal clear under the firelight, and it looks like a seamless garment.
Mo Ling stopped and knelt on his knees to salute respectfully. A tall figure stood on the altar and slowly turned around to look down.
The eyes of Wei Tao looking up met in space and intertwined.
"You are Mo Lian?" Wei Tao slowly moved forward and came to the edge of the altar.
"I am Mo Lian." The man said with a smile.
"I sense a familiar aura on your body, which should be related to Xi Mu."
"Besides, even I haven't seen clearly the methods you displayed when absorbing those broken true spirits." At this point, he sighed lowly and raised his head towards the cobwebs that seemed to be condensing above. Look.
"However, what surprises me even more is the change that occurs when the clouds and fog rise around you. It seems that there is a pair of eyes that seem to exist and yet do not exist, looking down from high above. I want to find out where it came from. There is no trace at all, all you can see is a dead, dark void full of terror."
"That's Jiwu Liuyun, Tanshe's true meaning." Wei Tao was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little more dignified.
"Senior Mo can still feel Tan Snake's gaze from such a long distance, which is a bit beyond my expectation."
"The true meaning of Tang Snake." Mo Lian fell into thought and said slowly after a moment,
"Why did you come to the secret place?" Wei Tao raised his hand and pointed to the altar,
"I came here for the things that Mother Xi left behind. After seeing this spider web, I basically achieved my goal." After a pause, he continued,
"But after seeing the spider web, I have a question that I can't figure out."
"Since Ximu has already tied her net here, and I am just an ordinary person, why am I still chosen by Ximu to leave her mark on this world?"
"You can be chosen, so there is a reason why you were chosen." Mo Lian said slowly, thinking,
"In my opinion, maybe Ximu wants to take you under her wing and become a Void Walker to work for it."
"I have heard this title several times, so does Senior Mo know what Void Walker means?"
"Void walkers walk in the darkness, shuttle between different worlds, accumulate resources, gain insights and practice, and leave their mark, in order to continue their lives until they reach the level of immortality and transcendence." Mo. Lian said slowly and began to walk down from the center of the altar.
"If you had appeared here earlier, I might have taken action against you and captured you. But after my retreat this time, I no longer have this thought, and I no longer need to use this method to gain enlightenment and practice. Therefore, you came at just the right time and were able to arrive here before I left, so you and I are quite destined." Wei Tao asked,
"Where are you going, Senior Mo?" Mo Lian sighed with emotion, sighing inexplicably.
"This kind of life where I can see the end at a glance has made me feel a little tired and depressed. The so-called leader of the demonic path, or even the first talisman master, actually means nothing to me. So since I have obtained part of Having inherited the inheritance of the giant spirit and successfully transformed into a void walker, I naturally want to find the various marks left by the giant spirit, constantly improve and sublimate myself, and seek a glimmer of hope for transcendence." When he said this, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed. .
Kacha made a soft sound. Wei Tao narrowed his eyes fiercely, looking across a slowly opened stone slab, and saw the two well-preserved statues of the Goddess of Joy and the corresponding white jade spiders inside.
"What I got is the inheritance of the giant spirit, so these things are of no use to me." Mo Lian said,
"Since you are related to Xi Mu, you can take them all away if necessary. It is not a wasted trip." Wei Tao was silent for a moment, bowed and saluted,
"I would like to thank Senior Mo for the gift, as well as the spider web above the altar. If Senior doesn't want it..." Mo Lian was startled for a moment, then nodded.
"I'll give you the spider web too."
"Get your things and leave."
"I'm about to close the secret realm, break through the void, and leave this world. It's inconvenient for me to stay and watch." Wei Tao stepped onto the altar and quickly pocketed the spider web.
He clasped his hands into fists and saluted again,
"If I have the opportunity to see Senior Mo again in the future, I will definitely thank you in return." He straightened up and exhaled softly,
"Since Senior Mo is going to close the secret realm, I will take the first step and wish Senior in advance success in finding all the marks of the giant spirit." After the voice fell, Wei Tao showed a satisfied smile and took a slow step forward.
Mo Lian didn't take it seriously at first. The next moment, he narrowed his eyes violently. The boy's hole shrank to the size of a needle tip in an instant.
Mo Lian's eyes were filled with surprise as he watched the figure on the altar fly through the air, and then disappeared into thin air under his gaze, leaving no trace of its existence.
Time passed little by little. I don’t know how long it will take. Mo Lian finally came to his senses and walked step by step to the altar, standing where Wei Tao stood last.
"It turned out to be so smooth and so powerful."
"Before I could leave, I was actually taken a step ahead by him. I was a bit taken aback."
"Watching his journey gave me a deep understanding, which will be of great help to me in my subsequent journey to find the mark of the giant spirit."
"After all, I owe him." He said to himself and suddenly laughed.
The sound became louder and louder, even the entire altar was shaking slightly. ………………Xi Mu’s lair, dark stone palace.
Wei Tao opened his eyes little by little and slowly stood up from the ground where he had been sitting for an unknown amount of time. He felt the fullness of his true spirit and touched his eyebrows lightly with his fingers. The headache that once threatened to explode had disappeared without a trace.
This wonderful feeling that he had never experienced before even made him immersed in it, as if he thought he was dreaming.
Quietly, the status bar appeared in front of me. After absorbing all the statues of the Goddess of Joy and the White Jade Spider, the gold coins suddenly jumped and skyrocketed.
It broke through the three-digit mark for the first time and stopped at one hundred and three coins. After thinking silently for a moment, he decided to return to the Great Zhou territory first.
After preparing sufficient supplies, immediately start improving the skills you practice. Then we have to deal with the spiritual gods and clear up all the problems.
Wei Tao moved his somewhat stiff body and quickly arrived at the entrance of the spider web, taking a step forward by a familiar path.
Darkness surges and light descends. He opened his eyes from the dizziness and observed the surrounding environment of the garden pavilion. After a moment, he suddenly frowned and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Something seems not quite right in Cangyuan City. But he couldn't see clearly what was wrong for a while.
