There was silence all around, and there was no movement of wind.
There were no lights or candles in the door, and the illuminated stone that the cultivation world usually favored was nowhere to be seen. All that could be seen with the naked eye was darkness. Zhao Chun had to use his spiritual consciousness to observe his surroundings, and gradually deduced that he was quite square on all sides. in the palace.
Looking above the head, you can see the sun and moon distributed in two directions, with mountains and rivers arranged in between, the carvings and paintings are delicate and beautiful, and the artistic conception is majestic.
The further you go inside, the clearer and more detailed the scene you can see. The originally square and closed palace can actually see the deep vegetation, and there is a faint fragrance hanging under the nose, accompanied by a clear bell, as if the dome has been broken. As if open, an almost dazzling white light suddenly poured down. Zhao Shun stood on the spot and felt his sleeves gradually warm, as if the cold winter was disappearing and the feeling of spring suddenly flourished.
She looked forward intently, and a bright white light struck in front of her eyes. In an instant, the sea of consciousness felt like the earth was collapsing and a mountain was destroyed, and the soul on the spiritual base lotus seat jumped suddenly!
…
Mize Lake, the ancient land of Kunhang Mountain.
The dead of winter has long since passed, and spring has returned to the earth, revealing a picture of grass growing and orioles flying.
Although the spiritual veins of the Great Lake are broken, it only has a great influence on the monks in it. Natural things such as grass, trees, mountains and springs can flourish and grow with the abundant spiritual energy, and the sound and sound of the water flow. Looking around the great lakes, mountains and streams, the swallow grass is as green as silk, and the green branches of Qin mulberry are low. Many low-level Qi-training monks, or ordinary people with no spiritual roots in their bodies, are walking in the spring, and they are better than those who seek immortality and seek enlightenment. Cozy and relaxing!
However, he had already planned his spring outing. Although the disciples of the sect who claimed to be immortal cultivators would not make trouble with mortals, in the minds of ordinary people in the small world, the concept that immortals and mortals are different has been firmly rooted in their hearts. They would not rashly set foot on the territory occupied by the sect.
Since Chongxiao Sect placed the ancient land of Kunxing Mountain under its jurisdiction three months ago, this area, which is usually rarely inhabited and is only used for sect discussions, has become even more closed. If others enter by mistake, they are often It was impossible to get out of the trapped lock. There were rumors that a treasure was born in the ancient land, but the Chongxiao Sect knew about it in advance and took advantage of the situation to seize it. Then they took the trouble to set up various mazes to guard against others.
On this day, two commoner youths tiptoed into the outskirts of the ancient land. The leader was a deer-headed man with rat eyes and a large black mole on the tip of his nose. He was particularly thin and small, with a stooped spine and long limbs, like an ape. The man behind him had an upright appearance. He was just shorter and fatter, panting when walking, and his face turned red.
"Keep your voice down, why are you so weak after walking less than a mile?" The thin monkey was quite angry, and his eyes flashed sharply as he scolded in a low voice, causing the short and fat boy to shrink his neck and quickly explain.
"How can you blame me? The road along the way is full of rugged paths, and you have to climb and jump from time to time. How can it be compared with the road we usually walk?"
"Tsk, my legs and feet are weak, so I can't reply quickly." The thin monkey slapped the young man on the forehead. After a while, he took his hand back and stretched out his index finger to make a hissing sound. "Okay, now we have to go into the forest. Follow me carefully and don't lose me, otherwise no one can save you!"
He didn't say this. After he said it, he asked the short and fat boy to shake it into a sieve. His bulging face turned pale in an instant. He grabbed the corner of the thin monkey's clothes and said softly: "Do you really want to go in? If you are caught by the immortal masters of Chongxiao Sect, What should I do if I find out?”
All the mortals in the Great Lakes are living under the sect, and have a lot of contact with the immortal masters above. Those who are successful in the Qi training period can cast various small spells, and are worshiped and respected by the mortals, let alone those who have truly stepped into the world. The foundation-building monks on the Immortal Path, and it is rumored that the maze of the Chongxiao Sect can even strand the foundation-building monks, which can't help but frighten mortals.
The thin monkey who knew this matter had a glint in his eyes, stretched out his hand to pull up the skirt of the short and fat boy's clothes, gritted his teeth and said: "You have come to this point, don't let me do anything wrong. Now you are afraid, when you promised the immortal master before What have you been doing?"
After saying this, he pushed the pudgy boy forward, pursed his lips and hummed: "If we are discovered, we will follow the previous discussion and we went here by mistake while collecting medicine for our sick mother. This is what happened to the Lin brothers a few months ago. , in the end, he was sent back by Chongxiao Sect, just like a normal person."
The pudgy boy spat bitterly. The reason why the Lin brothers could be sent back was because what they said was true. Immortal masters had many tricks. If the truth was revealed, they would be doomed.
After all, he has been a playmate since childhood. The thin monkey stepped into the forest. The short and fat boy hesitated for a moment, and then followed him with fists. Not daring to go far away, he tightly grabbed the corner of the former's clothes and bit his lips. whitish.
After walking for about ten breaths, a half-dead crooked-necked tree appeared in front of Thin Monkey's eyes. The bark was rough and swollen with swollen tumors. He secretly thought, this is the place where the immortal master said he would enter the battle. His hand touched his waist, pulled out a palm-sized gilt compass, and adjusted the pointer on it.
The pointer suddenly shook a few times, and finally stopped in a direction with dense bushes.
The two of them walked towards that place. The closer they got to the bush, the more conspicuous the dark spikes on the low branches became. It didn't take much thinking to know that if they didn't take any precautions and went in just wearing linen clothes, they would definitely be caught. The stabbing was so bloody that there was no meat anywhere on the body!
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the thin monkey, but he also knew that there was no way out at the moment. He recalled the various treasures that the immortal master said he would give after his success, and while he was greedy, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward hard!
The expected pain did not come. The moment he walked into the bush, the place that was originally covered with thorns suddenly turned into a quiet path for one person to walk on.
"Hurry up!" Skinny Monkey turned around and told the pudgy boy, his eyes full of joy. "The immortal master said that if you follow the compass, it will be broken quickly. There is no need to go in. Just put something away and we will succeed. Isn’t this simple?”
After hearing what he said, the short and fat boy became less worried. He quickly raised his heels and the two of them moved forward steadily with the compass. It was as easy as the leader behind him said. In only two quarters of an hour, they were about to reach the ancient time. Inside the ground.
"Okay, this is it." The thin monkey's heart was full of excitement, and his bony chest couldn't help but beat up and down. He looked at the mist-like forest in front of him, knowing that this was the junction of the inside and outside, and he should be there when he entered. It was very dangerous, so he raised his hand and twisted the compass left and right, and saw a small red insect flying out of it, plunged into the clouds, and disappeared.
"It's done!"
"Then let's go quickly. We have to get back before dark."
The short, fat boy had a grimace on his face and was about to turn around and walk back when he suddenly felt a heat on the back of his neck. He touched it and found that his hands were full of blood, still a little warm.
He looked back tremblingly, and saw the thin monkey head separated and fell to the ground, with a proud smile on his face. Behind him stood a woman with tied hair, her eyes were rather cold, and she regarded him as if she were dead.
"Now that I'm here, I'd better explain everything clearly before leaving."
With a big move of his hand, Qi Yunrong used the magical power of Qiankun in his sleeve to put the short and fat boy into his sleeve. He immediately turned around and jumped up. He felt that there seemed to be a strange phenomenon in the ancient land, but he could not tell what it was specifically.
