"I remember that within a radius of three thousand miles, there was no human habitation. Three hundred miles away, monsters and beasts were allowed to thrive, otherwise it was too quiet... There were some old guys from the Tenth Hall who came to visit before, I know What they think, huh."
The hairpin woman's voice was gentle, and even when she laughed, there wasn't much fluctuation.
As she walked, another passage appeared at the end of the originally not too deep cave. The further down she went, the more branch roads and large and small caves there were, extending in all directions. It seemed that the entire mountain was empty.
Zhang Wenfeng just listened and never interrupted without permission when asked. However, this did not prevent him from getting a lot of information from the woman's words. More than two thousand years ago, Nanjiang Prefecture was still an uncivilized and barbaric land to the south.
Humanity's southward expansion is accompanied by the continued shrinking of the demon clan's territory.
"I sleep most of the time, occasionally waking up and walking around within the three hundred miles."
"I once adopted a litter of foxes, with nine tails, six tails, and three tails. One of the little nine-tailed foxes had good qualifications. He later changed to the ghost path and stayed with me for a while. When he woke up this time, he was a thousand miles away. I only saw two little foxes with three tails, well, you have the aura of a little fox with nine tails."
The hairpin girl suddenly changed the topic to Zhang Wenfeng.
Zhang Wenfeng took out the black vial from his sleeve pocket and said, "It's a fox demon named 'Nine Lives'. Before entering the fifth hall of the underworld, he asked me to give the bottle to the leader of the three-tailed fox clan."
The woman glanced at the bottle, but did not check it, and said: "The name he was called 'Nine Lives' was a joke on my part. He went to the fifth hall... well, just treat it as an experience, and we can meet again in the future. .”
Zhang Wenfeng's scalp went numb after hearing this. Jiu Ming was so powerful, but he was just a follower of the hairpin girl.
Who is this person?
Why have we lived here for thousands of years?
He suddenly remembered the vision in the sky he had seen during the day. Could it be that the passage to the "Path of Rebirth" was reserved for women with hairpins? He felt that his brain was a little exhausted.
The woman with the hairpin shook her head and said: "It's boring to live in the underground underworld. Ten old guys are fighting openly and secretly and making noisy noises. It's better to go back to the world and hide in peace."
Zhang Wenfeng felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to think any more. This woman seemed to be able to spy on his thoughts.
After walking for a long time, we came to a wide underground cave, and the light gradually became brighter.
There are stalactites hanging upside down, strange rocks everywhere, gurgling water and abundant spiritual energy.
Walking to a secluded green pool in the cave, the woman stopped and said, "I don't plan to live here anymore. The world is restless. I'm tired of watching the beatings."
"If you can endure the loneliness, I can give you the secluded realm."
"Ten years of practicing here will be enough to elevate your cultivation to the golden elixir realm of your Taoist sect."
The hairpin woman waved her hand as she spoke, and the cave turned into a vast and boundless forest.
The mist flows, the wood air is abundant, the light shines down from the branches and leaves, the leaves are green and full of vitality, and there are birds singing on the branches, it is another scene.
Zhang Wenfeng bowed slightly and said: "Taoist ancestors are merciful! Thank you for your kindness, senior. I am used to walking in the countryside and I am not suitable to live in this blessed land of cave and enjoy the blessings. Please find another successor."
He couldn't tell whether this place was an illusion or reality.
You can only keep your Taoist heart firm and not give up your own Taoist path for any external temptation.
No matter whether the other party is a test or sincere, he is not greedy or should not accept it.
There is no free benefit in this world, and he knows this.
The woman with the hairpin said "It's a pity" and walked to the other side of the forest, saying: "I came out of the underworld and don't want to go back to the underworld. Looking at your situation, I have also been through the underworld. I have nowhere to go for the time being. I'll just walk with you for a while and take a look at the countryside. What do you think?"
Although it was a question, the tone was already set and there was no room for negotiation.
Zhang Wenfeng wanted to scold his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to. He asked with a smile: "How long will you stay with me, senior?"
This must be asked clearly. With a woman whose identity is unknown and whose cultivation is terrifyingly high, it will be inconvenient for him to go anywhere in the future, and it will not be good to hide in a Taoist temple. This feeling is really hard to explain.
But the other party still took it for granted.
"Let's see first. You don't need to call me senior, my name is Mo Ye."
The woman was walking in the woods and talking very casually.
Zhang Wenfeng was a little speechless. Uncertainty about the time was a problem. He thought about it for a while and then tried to shout: "...Mo Ye."
The woman smiled and said: "You are very different from other monks I have met. I told them my name, and no one has ever dared to call me 'Mo Ye', haha."
Over the years, powerful monks from the human race and demon race have traveled here, and some have broken into the secluded realm of Moling and been trapped.
If she was awake, she would show up to meet them, have a chat, and take them out.
After sleeping for a long time, the Moling area turned into a ghostland-like environment. She was too lazy to pay attention to it and rarely showed her face. She knew that it was the work of some old guys in the underworld, as were the Yin soldiers and stone figurines.
Zhang Wenfeng introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Wenfeng."
The other party could tell that he had been to the underworld, and perhaps already knew his name, so he still introduced him seriously.
After communicating with the woman for so long, he also got a feel for her temperament. When talking about something, don't be too oblique. He asked: "When you go out like this, can outsiders see you? Do you have any taboos when walking around in the world?" ?”
The girl with a hairpin looked up at the sky above the woods and asked an unexpected question: "Some old guys are annoying and keep an eye on my movements all the time. It doesn't matter if I walk within three hundred miles of Moling. They won't interfere and I can walk in the human world." I have to borrow a body so that they can’t find me.”
While talking, the two walked out of the forest.
Zhang Wenfeng found that he had returned to the hilltop where he had set up the altar. Looking back, he saw what kind of forest was there?
He saw that Mo Ye did it casually and had no intention of showing off.
He saw the woman standing on the top of the mountain looking around, and saw the woman suddenly staring at the northeast direction without moving. He remembered something. There was a body of Fang Bailan in the small bamboo house of the Taoist temple. Could it be that the woman discovered it? Then Mo Ye turned to look at him.
"There is a body of a fifth-level woman within a thousand miles, which is barely suitable for use. That small Taoist temple seems to be related to you. I said hello to you and borrowed the body."
The woman still had her usual affirmative tone, as if she were borrowing a piece of clothing to wear.
Zhang Wenfeng had no choice but to ask: "You won't damage the body, right?"
"No, the woman who left the body has taken good care of herself. She should be planning to practice the fusion of two immortals. After I have used it, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. She will not refuse if she is present."
Zhang Wenfeng still insisted: "When I return to the Taoist temple, I can tell the senior sister who is taking care of the body, how about you use it again?"
He wanted to test the hairpin woman's temperament in order to decide how to get along with her in the future.
Otherwise, it is too passive.
Mo Ye glanced at the serious-looking Taoist priest and nodded: "Okay. I will temporarily use your shadow to hide myself so that outsiders cannot see my existence. I will avoid the eyes of the sky. Say hello to the monks occupying this area tomorrow. , except for 'Mo Ling You Jing', other places can be used by them as they wish. Even if I give up the place where I have lived for a long time, I don't want innocent people to go in and destroy it."
"I will stress to them that no one dares to wander in."
Zhang Wenfeng agreed, knowing that Mo Ye's words meant that those who dared to venture into the secluded realm of Moling would suffer a tragic fate.
He had to find an excuse to make Gao Yi and the others believe what he said.
I just don’t know what the eyes are in the sky?
Is it the projection of the "rebirth platform"? It looks like a giant eyeball.
He found that Mo Ye was quite reasonable. He was not the type to treat all low-level monks as ants just because of his advanced cultivation. He just didn't interact with others and didn't care about the world. He should pay more attention in the future and they should be able to get along with each other. .
Mo Ye reached out and pulled Zhang Wenfeng's side. An illusory shadow pulled out and casually draped it over his body.
Simply, he borrowed a shadow to hide.
Zhang Wenfeng did not have enough knowledge to see the mystery, so he asked: "What is the use of the stone flowers blooming on the mountain?"
"It's called 'Netherworld Stone Flower'. It can form a 300-mile realm of darkness. It's not very useful. It will become invisible at dawn and everyone will wake up without leaving any consequences."
Mo Ye was very patient and explained a few words.
Zhang Wenfeng didn't ask any more questions. Since he agreed to go out with Mo Ye, he gradually got to know each other better.
If you can't refuse some things, then learn to get used to them.
