The old man hurriedly said, "These are all gifts sent by Dayue and other countries. I have counted them all, and there is nothing missing. I have even added a few percent."
The old man came closer and whispered, "Except for that child, the others are all children of royal families or aristocratic families in these mortal countries. They may be a little more delicate, so I ask Fairy Girl to be more considerate."
Mingluo waved his hand and put the things in the bike frame into the storage bag. He glanced at the mortals. Their expressions were either anxious, cautious, or envious, but they all hid a sense of arrogance in their bones.
She didn't care, "Which time has it not been like this? Just practice for a few years and you'll be fine."
After saying that, he said, "Okay, everything is done, let's go directly, don't wait any longer."
A group of people came in a hurry, and left even more hastily. This group of ordinary people, the younger ones were okay, but the older ones kept looking towards the direction of the town, full of reluctance to leave. Maybe they knew that after leaving this time, there would be no one left. After five or ten years, there will be no chance to come back.
Entering the Lingwu Forest, Xiao Shi Lei was still pestering Zhao Ning, so Zhao Ning had no choice but to reach out and lead him away.
With a group of mortals and children, everyone walked even slower. Even Min Luo and Guo Ying'er didn't speak much. They carefully paid attention to the surrounding situation before moving forward.
Others did not dare to say anything. Everyone was reminded before coming that this Spirit Mist Forest was dangerous, so out of a team of ten people, only Xiao Shi Lei was chattering.
"Sister Fairy, I heard that there are not only terrifying beasts in the Lingwu Forest, but also white mist that can eat people. Is this true?"
"Sister Fairy, isn't the white mist the mist we usually see? Why can fog eat people?"
"I also heard the village chief grandpa say that the sky in the forest has collapsed, but why can we still look up and see the sky now?"
"Sister Fairy, look, what is that? That is the collapsed sky. Why is it filled with white mist?"
"..."
The little guy chattered a lot of questions, and when he passed by a space crack, he had even more questions.
Being patient with the child Zhao Ning, she explained to him, "It's not Bai Wu that eats people, it's the beast in Bai Wu." "The sky didn't fall, it just opened many magical doors." 'Come out of it'.
She compared the space cracks to easy-to-understand "doors".
"Door?" The little guy blinked, but his mind suddenly changed and he said with clear thinking, "Then if we close the door, won't we not have to encounter the white mist that eats people?"
Such a question made Zhao Ning not know how to answer for a while, but he still said, "Close the 'door' requires strong magic power or special Taoism. It cannot be closed just by saying it."
Xiao Shi Lei blinked, he must not have understood, but the child's curiosity came and went quickly. In a blink of an eye, he was attracted by the strange-looking trees, and asked all kinds of questions about the trees.
He was the only one talking along the way. Zhao Ning occasionally explained a few times, but he couldn't keep up with the children's jumping thoughts. Mingluo and others even pretended not to hear. The other ordinary children turned around and glared at Xiao Shi Lei. Zhao Ningshou hummed in a particularly majestic manner, and they did not dare to show any more expressions.
Zhao Ning was a little tired from the trouble.
After walking for an unknown amount of hours, Chen Tian suddenly said, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"
He didn't say the whole thing, so the ordinary disciples were so frightened that they didn't dare to leave, they huddled together and trembled.
But there are also bold ones who are extremely curious, and their voices are filled with excitement, "Is there a monster coming?!"
There were very few monsters encountered along the way, and the few we saw were the ones that could be seen in ordinary mountains and forests. These ordinary people have not seen the legendary monsters that can breathe fire and water until now.
Chen Tian didn't look at them and asked Qingxiao Sect and his party, "We seem to have been walking for four or five hours. Didn't it mean that Lingwu Forest was shrouded in white mist all day long, and there was only three hours without white mist?"
And when they arrived, the white mist in Lingwu Forest was also regular.
Mingluo looked at the sky, and could still feel the light of the setting sun through the gaps in the dense canopy of trees. "It's almost midnight, and usually the white fog fills up the fastest."
They looked at Zhao Ning, who couldn't answer either. When she was practicing in Lingwu Forest, it was the time when the white fog in Lingwu Forest was active, and the white fog occupied it longer than other times.
"Okay, okay, the 'door' is closed!"
At this time, Xiao Shi Lei clapped his hands and cheered happily.
Mingluo and his group of cultivators, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know whether to be shocked or questioning.
"Forget it. It's getting dark soon. Let's find a safe place to rest first." Minluo made arrangements knowing that she couldn't find the reason.
No one had any objections, and the ordinary disciples felt even more liberated. They did not have the physique of cultivators, and they had long been unable to bear the burden of walking for several hours a day without falling behind.
A group of people hurriedly found a cave to rest. At Haishi, white mist began to fill the forest.
"Finally up."
I don’t know who muttered.
"It seems like it's just an hour late." Mingluo stood guard at the entrance of the cave, and Zhao Ning stood with her. She said with a smile, "If the white mist doesn't rise again, I really think we are blessed by God. The 'door' is closed."
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Senior Sister Ming was joking. You saw it. It was just a casual explanation between me and the children."
She looked into the cave and saw Chen Tian and others meditating with their eyes closed. The ordinary children were lying together in twos and threes, sleeping very uneasily. In contrast to Xiao Shi Lei, he was nestled between the two little girls, sleeping sweetly and soundly.
"If we could express the Dharma Sui, what else would we do with cultivation? We would be able to ascend immediately."
She looked away, saw Mingluo shaking his head in amusement, and sighed, "Maybe this is luck."
Chapter 079
This luck lasted until they were about to leave the Spirit Mist Forest.
Even the ordinary disciples who were timid at first became more and more courageous, and there were jokes and laughter along the way.
"Are we about to leave the Spiritual Mist Forest?" Minluo trailed two steps and asked, walking beside Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning estimated the direction, "Twenty miles further east and you will be out of the cracked area."
Zhao Ning looked at the sky and saw that it had just arrived Wu Shi, "Senior Sister Ming is going to rush out, or is it?"
"Let's hurry up. The white fog is unusually short this time. It's better to go out as soon as possible."
Zhao Ning nodded, and Minluo called to the others to speed up their pace.
Xiao Shi Lei walked continuously for a month and realized the hardships of adults early on. Now he was not active anymore. When he heard that he wanted to continue walking, his mouth was so pouted that he could hang a bottle of oil. He staggered to Zhao Ning's side and said, She said coquettishly with her arms, "I can't walk anymore. Sister Fairy, give me a hug, okay?"
Zhao Ning never liked getting close to others, and the same was true for children. But Zhao Ning's cold attitude still bothered little Shi Lei.
Zhao Ning shook her head and just smiled, "Keep on holding on, we'll be there in a minute."
Seeing that Xiao Shi Lei's eyes were red and about to cry, Guo Ying'er couldn't bear it. She put the little tiger cat on her shoulder and stretched out her hand towards Xiao Shi Lei, "Little Bao'er, come to my sister's side. My sister will hug you. You, Sister Zhao Ning, are just like a piece of ice." .”
Faced with Guo Ying'er's sarcasm, Zhao Ning knew that she was joking, so she stopped interfering in their communication and walked to Min Luo. Seeing that she didn't look relaxed just because she was about to leave the Lingwu Forest, "Senior Sister Ming, I still feel that Something's wrong?"
"Yeah." Mingluo nodded slowly, still uncertain, "Zhao Ning, if the white fog is naturally long, you can't say how long it will be. If you are lucky, it will be short-lived. But, you I don’t know, we’ve been walking for a month, and we haven’t even encountered a first-order monster, which is unreasonable.”
Zhao Ning was silent. There was indeed a problem with this matter. The last time a similar situation occurred was when the four major sects were wiping out demonic cultivators in the Lingwu Forest. However, after that battle, it was impossible that there were still demonic cultivators rampant in the Lingwu Forest. What's more, no matter how rampant it is, it can't reach the level of shock as the Bagua Soul Refining Array.
Unable to figure it out for a moment, Mingluo said jokingly, "Zhao Ning, could it be that you had an immortal guiding you and unconsciously avoided the location of the monster?"
"Senior Sister Ming, I can't bear this joke..."
"Wow!"
Before Zhao Ning could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Shi Lei yelling.
"Little Black Tiger!" Guo Yinger shouted anxiously.
It turned out that Xiao Shi Lei was playing with the little tiger cat, which made the little tiger cat anxious. He scratched him with his paw, and the little tiger cat jumped off his shoulder and went into the forest.
For Guo Ying'er, her pet was her darling. She chased after Xiao Shi Lei after throwing him away, leaving Xiao Shi Lei crying beside her.
"Junior sister Guo!" Mingluo didn't have time to shout, and Guo Ying'er's figure disappeared into the forest.
"How reckless!" Minluo complained with a frown.
Zhao Ning said, "I'll go find her. Senior Sister Ming will take them to a safe place first."
"That's all we can do." She became more and more irritated listening to Xiao Shi Lei's cries, and said impatiently and helplessly, "You can't stop crying, little ancestor, you are crying so hard that the sky will fall, crush us to death Got it!"
Zhao Ning chased in the direction where Guo Ying'er disappeared. After taking a few steps, someone followed behind her, it was Chen Tian.
"Junior sister Shen goes looking for her alone without anyone to look after her. It's too dangerous. I'll go with you."
Zhao Ning was not pretentious, thanked Chen Tian and accelerated the search.
However, the two of them chased in this direction for nearly half a mile without seeing anyone. They separated and searched nearby. When they met again, they both shook their heads.
Chen Tian was surprised, "That's not right. The traces in the forest are not roundabout. I even paid attention to the nearby cracks. Why is the person missing?"
Zhao Ning looked around and said, "I have been here before. There is a pit nearby. There is an entrance to a small secret realm in the pit. Can you go in?"
This place is not far from Huang Tingguo's pit. Zhao Ning had sealed a space crack here before, so Zhao Ning was very familiar with it.
"The pit? It's a crack in space... It's her tiger cat!"
Halfway through Chen Tian's words, he glanced not far away with his peripheral vision, his eyes lit up, and he saw the little tiger cat rushing towards him.
As soon as Zhao Ning lowered his head, the little tiger cat had already rushed to their feet, screaming "meow" and "meow", eagerly circling under their feet, and after a while, it ran back in the direction it came from.
Chen Tian's eyes were serious and he realized the problem, "Oops, something must have happened!"
The two hurriedly chased after it, and soon they saw the little tiger cat circling anxiously under a tree.
However, the two of them looked carefully from bottom to top, but they did not find that even if they used the spiritual eyesight technique, they could not see any concealed areas.
Zhao Ning stared at the big tree carefully. It was just an ordinary pine. She reached out and pressed her hand on the trunk. The spiritual energy cultivated from the secret transmission of the six spiritual sources of Taixu and the wood spirit were of the same origin, so they naturally had an affinity.
Spiritual power is injected into the tree, a faint spiritual light appears on the surface of the tree, and the lush branches slowly unfold.
Suddenly, Chen Tian shouted, "There!"
As soon as he finished drinking, he was flying high in the wind.
I saw a human figure wrapped in the dense branches of the tree crown. Only one face was exposed, her eyes were closed, but her face was still smiling, as if she had just found a little tiger cat and was very happy. He fainted before he could react.
"Meow!"
The little tiger cat barked anxiously at his feet.
Zhao Ning reacted suddenly and shouted urgently, "Brother Chen, be careful!"
This is an ordinary broad-leaved tree. How could Guo Yinger faint in vain? There must be an ambush.
But Chen Tian had already touched Guo Ying'er, and he was anxious to save her, so he forcibly cut off the branches on her body.
The branches fell apart, but before the joy could gather, they saw a dense swarm of gold-eating insects falling with Guo Ying'er.
The gold-eating insect is no more than the size of a fingernail and its body is pitch-black. However, it has a pair of mouthparts the same size as its body, which can break through all spiritual defenses of a cultivator. Moreover, the venom in the mouthparts is extremely weird. Once it penetrates the body of a cultivator, it will It can petrify the internal organs.
Chen Tian held Guo Ying'er with both hands and only had time to create a golden shield technique. The group of gold-eating insects didn't even pause.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Chen Tian gritted his teeth and protected Guo Ying'er, turned over suddenly, resisted the attack with his back, and flew straight down against the wind.
"Senior Brother Chen!"
This group of gold-eating insects was extremely fast, and several of them had already stuck to Chen Tian's back, causing a few blood stains to appear.
