There was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, and the warm morning breeze mixed with dew blew over Lin Chen's face.
Just in case, Lin Chen rushed back to Yunyang Peak of Qingyun Sect overnight.
But now, he is finally safe.
But what Lin Chen didn't know was that just when he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed towards the laboratory.
The place where he fought last night received a group of uninvited guests.
Around a huge, charred pit, a large number of monks wearing spiritual armor or green robes appeared.
The nearby jungle has been artificially blocked, and the monks wearing spiritual armor, with strong backs and sturdy faces, are alert to the surrounding disturbances.
The monks in green robes were constantly searching for traces left in the field.
In the center of the crowd, an imposing young man stood proudly, and beside him was an old man with gray hair and a childish face.
At this moment, the two of them were staring closely at a girl lying on the ground in front of them.
The girl has long black hair, moon-like phoenix eyebrows, a straight nose, orchid-like cherry lips, and even more beautiful oval cheeks.
What's even more surprising is that she holds a strange grass in her arms.
The grass is like cattail, red in color, and exudes a faint halo.
The name of this grass is [Huaimeng grass]!
There has been a classical record: "In the mountain where the fire is planted, there is dream grass, which is like cattail and red in color. It shrinks into the ground during the day and emerges at night. It is also called Huai Meng. If you hold its leaves, you will know the good or bad luck of the dream, and you will be able to verify it."
This grass is not born naturally, but is a strange spiritual plant that was finally created through the influence of generations of monks from the Qingyun Sect.
And its function is also very simple, that is, people who dream with it can, to a certain extent, dream about what they want to know.
For example, information about the elixir used to break through the bottleneck, various methods used by the enemy, the location of precious spiritual objects, etc.
To put it simply, it means that people who think about it every day and dream about it at night can know the past and future to a certain extent!
If you cooperate with the monk [Tianji Master] who specializes in Tianji, there is a certain chance that you can forcibly predict the secrets of high-level monks!
"Junior Sister Luo's talent in Tianji is the best that our Qingyun Sect has had for hundreds of years. With [Huaimeng Grass], the information about an auction must be readily available. Junior Brother Zhang does not need to worry so much."
Seeing Zhang Zhiming's solemn look, the old man on the side couldn't help but comfort him.
In his opinion, Zhang Zhiming's worries were completely unnecessary.
Perhaps there is indeed something fishy behind this auction, but it is absolutely impossible for the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Xuanyin Demon Sect to join forces.
Because Qingyun Sect and Xuanyin Sect inherited the transformation of gods, their combat power and methods are far superior to those of the same level. In the same realm, in a one-on-one situation, the people of the casual cultivator alliance are no match for the two sects.
The reason why Lingnan now has a three-legged situation is not because the three are evenly matched. It was because of the opposition between the Qingyun and Xuanyin sects that the Loose Cultivator Alliance was given a chance to survive.
If they join forces to deal with the Qingyun Sect, after the Qingyun Sect is destroyed, will the Xuanyin Demon Sect give up on the loose cultivator alliance that is so easy to talk about?
It must be impossible.
And this kind of result can be seen by anyone who is smart and knowledgeable. Wouldn't Master Jin Dan of the Loose Cultivators Alliance see it?
Therefore, the old man felt that it was a good thing to have doubts, but there was no need to worry too much.
Zhang Zhiming frowned slightly when he heard this. Obviously, he did not agree with the old man's statement.
He also had a share in this pursuit.
He had originally caught the traces of the monk who bought the foundation-building secret method, but was stopped by two mysterious men in black.
The opponent's methods were bloody and ruthless, which was comparable to that of ordinary casual cultivators, and he was clearly here to stop him.
He didn't think it was a coincidence.
Zhang Zhiming thought for a moment and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted.
"See you, sir!" A middle-aged monk came to the two of them and said respectfully.
"How is the situation analysis at the scene?" Zhang Zhiming asked.
"We have collected the remaining blood stains of the escaped monk and tracked it with the [Sound Wind Wood] that can sense the breath of others. But we don't know what means the other party used to interfere with the perception, so we have been unable to determine the location, and..."
"And what?" the old man on the side asked after hearing this.
"And we suspect that there is another monk in the venue." Seeing this, the middle-aged monk said quickly.
"how do I say this?"
"Based on the traces at the scene, we can tell that the besieged monk was seriously injured. But after the counterattack was successful, he did not escape immediately, but stayed in place for a while. In addition, there was a piece of equipment left at another battle site. Corpse-dispersing liquid, we extremely doubt that there is another person, but..." The middle-aged monk hesitated.
"Speak directly if you have something to say!" Zhang Zhiming's face darkened. What annoyed him the most was people who didn't finish their words.
"Yes, yes!" Feeling the terrifying spiritual pressure, a cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged monk's forehead, "But there was no trace of this monk left in the venue. You know, the melee between dozens of people, But not only was the other party not injured at all, he didn’t even leave a trace of his clothes on. This is really unreasonable..."
"Is that so..." Zhang Zhiming's eyes moved when he heard this.
The monks who came were all good at tracking, and he didn't have much doubt about their inferences.
'However, the monk who experienced a melee but was unscathed... Could it be that the monks in the foundation building stage took action? '
Zhang Zhiming thought carefully for a while, but with insufficient information, he could not draw many useful conclusions at all.
'Now it seems that I can only hope that Zi Yan's dream divination can get some useful information...'
After thinking about this, Zhang Zhiming turned his head and looked at the sleeping girl on the ground.
…
In a dream.
Huge, blackened potholes, as well as traces of the destruction of magic that remain everywhere.
This scene is almost exactly the same as the outside world. The only difference is that there are not so many monks in the venue, only a girl holding a luminous spiritual grass and a pretty face with a slightly solemn look.
"This is it." Luo Ziyan said softly.
Among the various arts of cultivating immortals, the most mysterious one is not the one that specializes in the soul, which possesses all kinds of weird methods such as calling the soul to seize the soul, seducing the soul and channeling the ghost, nor is it the witchcraft that is proficient in curses, death substitutes, and nightmares. , but——Tianjishu.
Because the art of heaven can not only affect the fate of the underworld, but also predict the past and the future. The powerful among them can even peek into a corner of the legendary long river of time!
Even if it is just observation without interference, it is enough to explain its mystery and terror!
But Tian Ji Master is not so easy to be a master. Even among monks, his talent is only one in ten thousand, as rare as Tian Linggen.
And everything has a price, let alone peeking into the past and future.
Loss of life, bad luck, madness, etc., are just some of them. Because the method of inheritance is different from what is predicted, the cost will naturally be different.
The Tianji technique practiced by Luo Ziyan is called [Qinghuazi Yi Meng Heart Sutra], which is a technique summed up and developed by generations of Tianji monks from the Qingyun Sect.
Different from the ordinary Tianji Technique, this method believes that dreams are the place where the consciousness of living beings in this world meet. Although it is illusory, it is real.
Not only that, dreams are also a reflection of the real world. They not only record all the information in the world, but are also suspected to be connected to the fairy world and even the long river of time. Everything that happened in the past and future may be realized in the dream.
And due to the illusion and change of dreams, the monks who enter it can distort the dream and reverse what happened in the future to the present. They can also look back on what has happened, so as to observe the future and the past!
"This method is not only easier to observe what is going on than ordinary divination, but it can also reduce the backlash from heaven and earth, but it is not without risks..."
Speaking of this, Luo Ziyan looked at the area beyond the light of Huaimeng grass, with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Outside the place shrouded in the light of Huaimencao is not a jungle in reality, but a twisted area.
Inverted mountain peaks, rivers flowing upstream, monsters that are half human and half demon...these scenes are not fixed, but will change from time to time, forming a bizarre and bizarre scene.
Beyond the light of the Dreaming Grass is the depth of the dream. With her cultivation and strength, once she falls in, she will most likely be lost, and her consciousness will never wake up!
"Just be careful." Luo Ziyan quickly retracted her gaze and gently grabbed the void in front of her with her jade hand. Suddenly, a white jade slip appeared in her hand.
This is a jade slip that records the secret method of spiritual blood foundation building. However, it is not real, but a medium through which she collects various information and forms it in her dreams.
"Dreamers, the wandering gods, are also the mirrors that know what's coming..." As the mysterious mantras were recited, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The rising sun in the east was setting, and the burnt smell that had dissipated gradually became stronger, and there were even vague figures appearing on the field.
Time is turning back at this moment!
Then, all changes suddenly stopped, and two vague figures appeared on the field.
It's Zhang Hao and Lin Chen!
"Huh?" Luo Ziyan frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to predict. These two monks in front of her are only Qi Refining Stage monks, but why are they so vague in her dream divination?
"Forget it, this is not the key." Luo Ziyan stared at Zhang Hao's figure, and then walked towards him step by step.
Uh-huh!
Luo Ziyan's figure actually merged directly with Zhang Hao!
Suddenly, the whole world suddenly went dark.
When Luo Ziyan gradually regained her sight, there was a noise in her ears.
"Hmph, nine thousand five hundred!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand and two hundred!"
"Is this the scene from that underground auction?!"
Looking at the underground hall shrouded in the light of the spirit bead, Luo Ziyan couldn't help but feel surprised.
She was obviously following Zhang Hao's whereabouts, so why did she come to the underground auction? !
"Is there something wrong?" Luo Ziyan thought for a moment, and finally turned her attention to the field.
"...The auction ends here..." After a large number of monks left the venue, Zhao Ming also walked backstage.
Behind him, Luo Ziyan's eyes flashed and she followed him.
Although it was unclear why this happened, the source of the foundation-building secret method was also the target of her investigation. Since she had the opportunity to obtain information, she naturally could not let it go.
"Meet the elders!" Zhao Ming bowed to a vague figure.
"Well, everything is ready..."
Following the conversation between the two and the old man muttering to himself, Luo Ziyan in the audience couldn't help but look solemn.
"Situ family, seeking skin from tigers, Xuanyin Sect?" After listening to their conversation and the old man's soliloquy, Luo Ziyan's eyes darkened.
"Is it possible that the Situ Family of the Jindan Family in the Loose Cultivator Alliance is colluding with the Xuanyin Sect?"
Thinking of this, Luo Ziyan's eyes moved and she walked towards the old man without hesitation and crossed the realm to perform dream divination. The danger and backlash would be greatly increased, but she still decided to take the risk.
Sufficient information must be obtained so that the sect can be fully prepared to face the treacherous situation in the future!
Darkness struck again, but Luo Ziyan inexplicably felt a chill that penetrated into her bones.
"What's going on?" Before she could figure it out, a ticking sound came from her ears.
When his vision returned, what appeared in front of him was a cave cave slope leading underground.
"I clearly predicted the information about the Situ family, why does it appear here? Or is the ancestor of the Situ family down there?" What happened in the dream divination this time was completely beyond Luo Ziyan's expectations!
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. I followed the traces and came here. I have to go down and see what's there."
She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and walked away.
As she continued to go deeper, the surrounding environment became darker and darker, and even from a distance, there seemed to be an incessant cry, which made her suddenly feel as if she was drunk.
Everything around him seemed a little hazy and strange.
The walls of the cave seemed to be alive, dyed with a touch of dark red, and blood seemed to be constantly seeping out...
The Huimengcao in her hand reacted more and more violently, as if it was burning, but the area it covered became smaller and smaller, and the light it emitted became increasingly dim.
Luo Ziyan seemed to turn a blind eye to such a strange sight and walked down step by step.
finally……
His vision suddenly widened and he entered an underground cave.
And in the center of the underground cave is a huge blood pool that emits a strange light!
boom!
At this moment, as if it had reached its limit, the Huaimeng grass in Luo Ziyan's hand suddenly split open, emitting a bright light that shot directly into her eyes!
"This!" Luo Ziyan reacted immediately, as if waking up from a dream, and her expression changed.
She was so distracted just now that she ignored everything that was wrong.
Now awakened by the last power of Huaimencao, he is naturally aware of the danger!
"Once a prediction error can be said to be a coincidence, but twice it is no longer a coincidence."
"There is an unknown and terrifying existence that misled my dream divination!"
Gulu gulu!
Just when she woke up, the blood pool in front of her suddenly boiled, and in a moment, an illusory blood lotus appeared.
"Let's go!" Seeing this scene, Luo Ziyan made a quick decision and stopped the divination without hesitation.
The weird scene in front of her was beyond her control, and she couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise she would encounter unknown risks!
Everything around her became blurry, and her entire figure began to flicker, as if she was about to leave the dreamland at this moment.
嗗～
But along with a harsh sound of friction of flesh and blood, the dream world that should have been blurry and dissipated actually stopped at this moment, and the blood lotus in front of him became clear little by little!
"How is that possible?!" Luo Ziyan couldn't hold back the shock in her heart, and her face changed drastically.
It was just a divination, the distance between them was unknown, and there were many interferences from the dream world, but the other party was able to reversely invade her dream by just relying on the scene in front of her as a medium? !
Even a golden elixir stage monk should not be able to do this!
Woo~
In her ears, the shrill cries became louder and louder, as if thousands of ghosts were howling, and the blood lotus in front of her began to bloom little by little, and the dream turned into blood at this moment. At this moment, Luo Ziyan even noticed The crisis of death has come!
But her whole body was frozen in place, unable to move, and could only watch this scene happen!
At this critical moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the dark red dream.
Bear!
Then, golden flames ignited out of thin air, surrounding her whole body. In the raging flames, the shadow of a fairy tree emerged.
The spreading and twisting branches, the high-spirited attitude, and the never-extinguishing flame.
"In the mountain of immortals, there are immortal trees. Fires burn day and night. The winds are not fierce, the rain is not extinguished, and the fire does not burn. This is the wood that does not burn!"
The raging flames instantly enveloped the entire dream, and the real blood lotus gradually became blurred under its interference. Then, the entire dream shattered like a mirror image!
At the moment when she was completely plunged into darkness, Luo Ziyan seemed to vaguely see a terrifying blood shadow sitting in the lotus through the gap in the blood lotus!
