At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed over at the inn: "Look, what is that!"
A group of people subconsciously raised their heads and looked in the direction of the man's finger, only to see a dazzling light in the sky.
Liu Yao looked at the meteorite holding the firelight in the sky and murmured to himself: "Born with a different appearance, there must be a great treasure coming to the world!"
As soon as he said these words, the eyes of many people in the venue became hot.
Only Zhu Xie's expression remained as usual, looking at the meteor suddenly blooming with light like daylight, and he suddenly said: "Let's go over there and have a look."
Chu Chuyan was a little hesitant and worried about the safety of Zu An and Pei Mianman. After all, they might not be able to escape the pursuit of Taoist Mosquito, so he wanted to take this opportunity to find them.
At this time Sang Qian came to her side: "Sister Chu, although I compensated for the contact time with Zu An, based on my understanding of him, if he is being chased by the Mosquito Taoist, he will probably run to the place where the meteor fell. Go, because it is conspicuous enough and other people will rush there after hearing the news, so that there will be someone to check and balance the mosquito Taoist who he cannot deal with."
You must know that there was no need for Zu An to reveal that he had the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" on his body before, but he just said it. Obviously, he wanted to muddy the water and let other forces contain the emperor. This person can be said to be bold and at the same time careful. Obviously, it can be thought that it is easier to escape by running towards the meteorite.
Chu Chuyan couldn't help but glance at her in surprise: "I've heard for a long time that Miss Sang is very resourceful, and today I saw that she is indeed well-deserved. If I save Azu there, I really want to thank you."
"I should be the one thanking him for letting these people rest in peace." Sang Qian looked at the corpses of the dead soldiers on the ground. She had just applied to Zhu Xie to bury them again. She would send someone to bury them again after she returned to Beijing. People migrate back to their hometowns.
Chu Chuyan's expression also softened a lot: "Although Azu has a lot of criticism, he is actually a kind person at heart."
Sang Qian hummed: "I can feel it."
Sang Hong sighed secretly. He had always admired Zu An. If he had known that he had taken his daughter to Mingyue City, he would have become his son-in-law by now, and his son would not have died so tragically...
Zhu Xie Chixin and others did not have time to accompany them to mourn their death, so they left some people stationed at the inn to guard the prisoners, while he took the messenger in embroidered clothes and rushed towards the direction of the meteorite falling.
Liang Wang and Liu Yao couldn't hide their curiosity and followed him. Chu Chuyan was worried about Zu An and followed closely behind.
But when a group of people rushed there, they only saw a big crater and meteorite fragments all over the ground, and Zhu Xie was there with a livid face.
"Lord Zhu Xie, have you seen Zu An?" Chu Chuyan asked hurriedly. He had the highest cultivation level and was the first to come here. He might have discovered something.
Zhu Xie looked at the direction of the pile of rubble with a depressed look on his face: "I was a little late. I just saw them jumping into a light gate, and Taoist Mosquito followed them in. Unfortunately, the light gate disappeared so fast that I had no time to stop them. .”
The light door must be the entrance to a certain secret realm, but I have never seen an entrance disappear so quickly, and I don’t know what it is. God knows whether Zu An can come back alive after entering. You must know that unless the secret realm is developed and matured, Slightly safer, most Rifts are quite dangerous to begin with.
He had a headache when he thought about not knowing how to report to the emperor after returning to Beijing.
"Mr. Mosquito has also gone in?" Chu Chuyan's face changed slightly, and he immediately became worried.
"Don't worry about this. Secret realms are usually very complicated, and they may not be teleported to the same place." Zhu Xie replied with all his heart.
…
Let's say that after Zu An and Pei Mianman entered the light door, they fell into a feeling of weightlessness. This feeling is not unfamiliar. They had similar experiences in the secret place behind the academy.
Bringing them back to their senses, they found themselves in a foggy world, surrounded by blue-gray mist.
"I just seemed to vaguely see the mosquito Taoist chasing in." Pei Mianman looked behind him worriedly, but there was no other figure behind him.
Zu An said: "She did follow. She should have been transported to a different place."
He also had a headache. This guy was still lingering, and she had seized the fleeting opportunity just now.
Pei Mianman realized that this was indeed the case in many secret realms. They had the same entrance, but were transported to various random locations. If they wanted to be together, they could only hold hands together when entering.
Only then did she realize that the two of them were still holding hands tightly. She felt the heat coming from each other's palms, and her face turned slightly red: "How long do you plan to hold her?"
Zu An smiled coquettishly and hurriedly let go of their hands: "The situation was critical just now. I didn't mean to take advantage of you."
"I know," Pei Mianman's eyes flashed, and those peach blossom eyes were extremely attractive, "otherwise, I would have burned you with black flames."
"It's better not to, if your black flames touch it, even the bones and dregs of those with weaker cultivation will be burned away." Zu An was startled.
"Idiot, how could I use black flames against you?" Pei Mianman muttered softly.
Zu An looked around, and he also noticed that there was blue-gray mist everywhere, and it was different from the ordinary mist that dispersed as soon as the wind blew. These mist seemed to be particularly thick. He even suspected that even if Feng San people came here non-stop, Even if you place a tornado on the ground, it will be difficult to blow them away: "Be careful, this place is a bit weird, and the mosquito Taoist doesn't know where he is hiding. If you accidentally hit her, you will be in trouble."
Because of the fog, the surrounding visibility was only a few meters square, and the line of sight could not penetrate very far. If the mosquitoes were hiding around, they would not be able to predict it in advance.
"Hmm~" For some reason, Pei Mianman is not that scared. It seems that she always feels safe around this guy, but his cultivation level is obviously lower than hers.
"How are your injuries?" Zu An said and took out another pill for her. She had just been injured by the mosquito Taoist again, and she was visibly weak.
"It's okay, I'm much better now," Pei Mianman shook his head and refused, "The effect of the medicine was still there just now, but it is slowly recovering now."
Zu An couldn't help but sigh that Ji Dengtu's medicine was quite miraculous, and he must have a good communication with Xiao Xi next time they meet.
"By the way, how do you know the words on that stone tablet?" Pei Mianman asked curiously. The scene just now is still fresh in his memory.
"Of course I, Bo Wen, forced it to remember." Zu An said proudly.
Pei Mianman snorted: "I have often read the records of all ethnic groups in the world since I was a child. Why have I never seen such writing?"
Zu An knew that she was a female academic, and if she casually suggested that the words from her hometown were written in her hometown, she would not be able to deceive her, and it would also arouse unnecessary suspicion, so he replied: "Actually, I don't know, I seem to have seen something like this in my dream." The words are recognizable when you see them.”
Pei Mianman was surprised: "The ancients said that some people are as talented as heaven. I thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect this to really happen."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. He made up this mythical excuse just because there were similar records in history. He didn't expect that he could actually handle it.
While he was relaxing, he was also filled with doubts as to why he saw Yin Ruins and Oracle Bones in this world.
Thinking of the Qin Shihuang he had seen in the secret realm before, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Ah!" Pei Mianman suddenly exclaimed and subconsciously grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?" Zu An's heart was raised, and he looked around cautiously, thinking that Taoist Mosquitoes were coming for a sneak attack. Unfortunately, everything was quiet as usual, and he didn't see any danger.
"Blood..." Pei Mianman pointed to the soil under his feet, "The color of the soil is dark red, as if it was soaked in blood."
There is blue-gray mist everywhere, and the sight can only see a few meters in radius, which is very depressing in itself. Now seeing this dark red land, people can't help but feel a chill down their spines.
How much blood does it take to soak the soil red like this?
Zu An stared at the ground for a while, and then comforted: "It may not be stained red by blood, it is probably because it is rich in iron oxide."
"Iron oxide?" Pei Mianman was stunned, his expression a little confused.
"You can understand it as iron element, like rust." Although Zu An comforted her, he was not sure. Is this really caused by iron oxide?
Pei Mianman said: "No matter what, we still have to be alert. This secret realm is probably quite dangerous."
In fact, this is common sense in the cultivation world. Whether a secret realm is dangerous or not can be seen from the environment. If it is the kind of place with beautiful scenery, green mountains and green waters, it is mostly peaceful inside. Even if the core area is more dangerous, as long as you don't It's totally okay to get close.
But if a secret place is eerie and terrifying, it is probably an extremely dangerous place.
Obviously, the current environment belongs to the latter.
The two of them continued to walk forward cautiously, because the blue-gray fog made it easy for people to lose their way, and they could not tell the difference between east, west and north. The two could only take one step at a time.
Suddenly, the two people's feet were empty. The ground just in front of them was covered and could not bear the weight of the two people.
"Be careful!" Zu An and Pei Mianman reminded each other at the same time, and then jumped back.
It was a pity that Pei Mianman was seriously injured. He jumped halfway and lost all his energy. His whole body suddenly sank. Zu An hurriedly grabbed her, but due to her influence, he had to fall a few points.
He was shocked and hurriedly reached out to grab the wall next to him. He didn't know how deep this unknown place was and whether there were any traps, so naturally he didn't dare to fall down.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. The surrounding soil and walls were also very hard and smooth. You must know that with Zu An's current cultivation level, it is easy to break open the monument and crack the stone. With a strong grasp, the theory is that he can press his entire palm into the wall. , and then stopped the downward trend of the two.
But who knew that his fingers could only dig a shallow hole in the wall, and he could never get in again. Even though he only got in a little bit, it still caused severe pain in his fingers.
Since he had nowhere to borrow strength, he could no longer stop the two of them from falling and fell directly below.
Zu An subconsciously held Pei Mianman in his arms and protected him with his body. After all, the other party was seriously injured. If he fell down, he would probably die on the spot.
As for himself, he has the Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra to protect his body, and his recovery ability far exceeds that of others.
The two of them rolled down like this. Along the way, he pressed Pei Mianman's head tightly in his arms, covering her with as much body area as possible.
Fortunately, it was not a bottomless abyss below. After rolling for a while, the two finally hit the ground.
Zu An groaned. He felt something sharp inserted into his back, but he had no time to pay attention at this time. He hurriedly held the face of the woman in his arms: "Damanman, are you okay?"
Pei Mianman's charming peach blossom eyes no longer had the usual charming look that confuses all living beings, but looked at him a little absentmindedly: "I'm not...it's okay, you are not afraid of risking your life to make Chu Yan sad." What?"
She remembered the scene just now very clearly. In times of crisis, he did not escape alone. Instead, he fell into the deep pit in order to save her.
But no one knew what was below, and the other party risked his life to save her.
And during the whole process of rolling down, the other party used his body to help her resist the stones and various dangers along the way. Now, except for some wrinkles in her clothes and the occasional scrape of skin, she had almost no injuries.
But on the contrary, the opponent's clothes were scratched to pieces by the gravel along the way, and his body and even his face were bruised and bruised, with various scratch marks.
Zu An laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not save him in that situation? You are my friend."
"Are they just friends..." The disappointment on Pei Mianman's face flashed away, and his usual charming smile soon returned, "That's right, I am Chu Yan's best friend, if you don't save me , Chu Yan will definitely not be able to spare you."
As he spoke, he raised his pink fist and hit the opponent.
"Hiss~" Zu An took a breath, only to feel the heartbreaking pain in his back, and then spit out a mouthful of blood with a loud sound.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't use any strength?" Pei Mianman asked hurriedly, almost crying.
"It's nothing. There must have been something stuck in the back when it fell. Please help me take a look." Zu An turned his head back, but unfortunately he couldn't see what was happening behind him.
Pei Mianman burst into tears as soon as he saw it. He saw a stone spike as thick as an incense stick inserted into his back. Judging from the depth it had penetrated into his lungs, it was no wonder that he would vomit blood.
Hearing her description, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, okay, help me pull out the spikes."
Pei Mianman said hurriedly: "But if you pull it out rashly like this, it can easily cause damage."
Loss of blood. "
Zu An reached out and rubbed her hair, comforting him and saying, "Don't worry, although my cultivation is average, my body is stronger than anyone else's, so I'll be fine."
Pei Mianman also thought of his powerful resilience and bit his lip: "Then be careful."
"Yeah!" Zu An sat up straight, to avoid her worry, even though it hurt, his expression was very calm.
He admired himself a little. He used to think that Guan Yu's bone scraping to cure poison was incredible, but he had suffered so many fatal injuries when he came to this world. Let alone scraping his bones, his bones had been broken and re-opened countless times. heal.
Thanks to this world of cultivation, the bodies of practitioners are not as fragile as humans in previous lives. Of course, other practitioners must have died long ago if they were so seriously injured. In the final analysis, it is thanks to the previous "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" and the subsequent "Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing".
Pei Mianman has been a genius in cultivation since he was a child. No matter what weapon he uses, his hands are very stable. Who would have thought that his hands would be shaking like this when holding a stone spike today.
"It's okay, just pull it out." Zu An patted her body gently, and her warm smile suddenly calmed her down.
Pei Mianman also knew that such an injury could not be delayed, so she took a deep breath, and then slowly pulled out the spikes from his back. She moved very slowly, for fear that she would cause hemorrhage and shock if she was not careful.
Zu An groaned, and a layer of dense sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. It really hurt. After all, he had hurt his lungs.
You must know that the most painful way to die in the previous life was severe trauma to the lungs, which would lead to a desperate death in pain and difficulty breathing.
He can only be grateful that the "Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing" has given him super resilience, otherwise, even if he does not die now, he will die of bacterial infection in the future.
Finally, Pei Mianman pulled out the spikes, and then hurriedly applied acupoints to seal the wound on his back. Even so, looking at the huge blood hole on the other person's back and various other injuries, she couldn't help but shed tears. down.
She knew that if Zu An hadn't blocked her just now, she would have been nailed to death by the sharp thorn on the spot. The reason why the other party was so seriously injured was entirely because of her.
Because of her mother, she has never believed in love, so over the years she seems to be passionate about everyone, making people feel like a spring breeze. She is the opposite extreme of Chu Chuyan, but her heart has always been as cold as iron. , looking at everything in the world indifferently.
Even though he had a good relationship with Zu An before, and even acted a little ambiguous, it was just a good relationship.
Until this time, the other party risked his life to save her again and again, and what she had always believed in since she was a child gradually collapsed, and her iceberg-like heart completely melted.
"Auntie, can you stop crying and help me apply some medicine." Zu An said speechlessly. This woman is usually very clever, but why is she like other little girls today.
Pei Mianman woke up from a dream and hurriedly took the medicine bottle from his hand. After applying medicine for him, he took off the lining of his clothes and bandaged him.
Suddenly her eyes froze, because she found that there were other bandages on the other person's back, with small flowers embroidered on them, and she could smell a faint fragrance. It was obviously other women's underwear that had been used to bandage him.
However, she only lost consciousness for a moment, and immediately bandaged his new wound, and at the same time helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Damanman, I didn't expect your hands to be so gentle." Feeling the coolness on his back, Zu An felt a lot better. Apparently, with the medicine of Yuji Miracle Doctor and the Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing, his life was Saved.
This time Pei Mianman did not smile, but looked at him seriously: "Azu, can you promise me something?"
"What's going on?" Zu An was stunned.
Pei Mianman bit his lip and hesitated several times, obviously thinking about how to speak. After a long time, he finally looked into his eyes and said, "Promise me not to risk your life to pick up girls in the future!"
Zu An: "..."
Pei Mianman continued: "You saved me several times regardless of your life. You also did the same when you saved Zheng Dan before. You used your own body to block her gun. And that Qiu Honglei... you don't care about yourself so much." Is your body worthy of... is it worthy of Chu Yan?"
Zu An looked sarcastic: "Actually, I didn't think much about it, I just didn't want to watch something happen to you."
Pei Mianman's eyes also softened: "I know how good you are, but every time you work so hard, you won't be so lucky every time. What if you die next time?"
Zu An whispered: "My body is different from that of ordinary people..."
Pei Mianman interrupted him and said, "I know you have strong recovery ability, but no matter how strong you are, there is always a limit. Can you promise me not to do such stupid things in the future?"
Seeing her tearful look, Zu Anxin softened and said hurriedly: "Okay, I promise you, in the future, even if you save others, you must ensure your own safety... If you are in danger again, I can't ignore it."
"You guy..." Pei Mianman lamented. This fool couldn't understand what I meant. How many women can resist a man who protects her with his life? I don't know how many peach blossom debts this guy will incur in the future.
Zu An picked up the spike at this time: "Let's see what it is that hurt me so badly..."
In the middle of speaking, his eyes suddenly froze. These were stone spikes, they were clearly human ribs!
Pei Mianman had just focused on him, and now he recognized him: "This... this..."
Zu An hurriedly stood up and looked at the situation in the distance of the deep pit, and soon their faces became extremely pale.
Zu An said bitterly: "It seems that what you said before was right, those lands are indeed dyed red with blood."
The whole deep pit may be due to the low terrain, and there is not much fog in it. Looking at it, this deep pit is about the size of several football fields. The ground is densely covered with white bones one after another, and each white bone is densely packed. Their postures were distorted, and their painful expressions before death could still be faintly seen. It was like purgatory on earth.

The word count of the two chapters today has been combined into one chapter. In the future, I may often combine large chapters like this. It depends on the situation. I’ll see if any of you still think I’m short!
