After a night, the sun rose as usual over the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
Clear light diffused into the gap between the windows and coffins. Zhang Shanshan simply opened the window and looked at the sky in the direction of Wanhua Valley.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Jianwen hugged her from behind and put his sleepy face to her temples.
There was a hint of disgust in Zhang Shanshan's eyes, but when she turned around, she had already raised the corners of her mouth, took away his hand and smiled softly: "This is already Chenshi. Didn't I agree yesterday that I would go see your sisters and the others early in the morning?"
"My sister and Senior Brother Xu Zuo have been appearing and disappearing these past few days. We may not be able to meet them. It's better to sleep a little longer."
Zhang Shanshan blinked. She knew better than Bai Jianwen what Bai Jiahe and the others had been doing in the past few days. They stayed in the valley for most of the day. Even when they returned to the outside of the valley, they were alone.
The spiritual energy storm that shattered many nights last night lasted for a long time and was very quiet. With Huang Songgu's knowledge, Zhang Shanshan guessed whether Huai Cao Shi had a breakthrough. After all, Huai Cao Shi was the senior sister of Wanhua Valley in the past. , breaking through from the second level to the first level is really not a surprise.
"What did your uncle tell you after lunch that day?"
"I thought you wouldn't ask me..."
Bai Jianwen grabbed Zhang Shanshan's hand, held it close to his face, and said sympathetically: "Master just told me not to indulge in these things, and since she has recognized you, why do you call me something you shouldn't call me?"
Zhang Shanshan withdrew her hand, walked to the window, exposed her curvy back to Bai Jianwen's field of vision, and sighed: "You don't have to say such nice things, my uncle will definitely tell you to be more careful and don't mistake your true feelings in the end." Fu...I don't have much resentment about this matter, but since my uncle still has a grudge against me, I naturally have to find a way to maintain my relationship with her."
Zhang Shanshan is nearly four years older than Bai Jianwen. She is gentle, considerate and considerate. Compared with the always stern Huai Cao Shi and Bai Jiahe, she really fulfills all Bai Jianwen's fantasies about a woman who is like a sister and a mother. Hearing her say this He said, happily coming to the conclusion that in order to be with him forever, Zhang Shanshan was trying her best to get closer to her relatives and friends, even though she was still misunderstood.
"Sister Shanshan, you have been wronged..." Bai Jianwen's eyes were full of emotion.
"Why are you talking about this?" Zhang Shanshan looked at Bai Jianwen and pointed in the direction of the valley entrance, "Have you ever been to the real Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers?"
Of course Bai Jianwen understood what she meant. He pondered for a moment and really didn't know how to refuse, "Let's go, I'll take you there!"
In a dark secret passage in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Bai Jiahe was leaning against the door, while Xu Zuo barely pressed his face against the stone door and was talking softly to the people inside.
"Fanrou, are you and master okay?"
Not long ago, Xu Zuo obtained Bai Jiahe's consent and was about to open the stone door of the secret room, but was stopped by Lu Fanrou.
Xu Zuo's face pressed against the stone door changed from the left to the right, "It's been another night. Was the movement last night the master's breakthrough?"
It seems that even Xu Zuo subconsciously believed that Huai Cao Shi had no opinion and made a breakthrough.
After a while of silence, Lu Fanrou's voice came out gradually, "We... are fine, but there are still some problems. Don't worry outside."
Lu Fanrou leaned against the stone door, talking in a low voice. When he glanced at the cold jade bed, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the still figures like sculptures.
Xu Zuo and Bai Jiahe were worried outside the door, so why not if they stayed inside?
Separated by a door, the sun and moon could not be seen rotating in the secret room. Three full days had passed since the stone door was closed.
Xu Zuo would call them several times every night. If he hadn't heard that he was planning to open the stone door from the door, Lu Fanrou would probably not have spoken.
When the bad mood seems to have no end, it floats all night like the smoke of those soothing incense. Lu Fanrou really didn't want to break the silence. If this was a nightmare, at least he didn't wake up from the dream and everyone was still there...
Suddenly, Lu Fanrou saw three figures trembling almost at the same time, and couldn't help but feel cold in her heart. She let out a long sigh, and the people outside the door fell silent when they heard her sigh.
But Lu Fanrou didn't see the emotions blooming between the raised corners of the mouth and the curved eyebrows on the front of the three figures, especially on Huai Cao Shi's face.
That joy is like a spring that has been confirmed to be dry, and a clear spring emerges again amidst the prayers of the waterkeeper. The transition between silence and vitality, life and death can always bring the best to those who sincerely hope for it. Strong emotions.
Fortunately, this time it was good.
There was a burst of aura in the secret room, and then it quickly closed in.
The depression of the short-term bottom is followed by the joy of rebounding and rising immediately.
After the spiritual energy vortex completely disappeared, the aura on Huaifenghua's body became extreme, sometimes rising to the clouds and sometimes falling into the abyss.
Now as this breath spreads and then shrinks, a powerful and stable strange breath appears in the secret room.
This is the aura of the extraordinary level of the true self.
Huai Caoshi's tired face was full of smiles, and his eyes looking at Mu Qing were filled with admiration. He turned to the people around him and said, "The realm has stabilized."
After waiting anxiously for a long time, she didn't speak for almost a whole night. Her originally cold voice was hoarse, as if her throat had been filled with several kilograms of sand.
It is really the best result for the master to succeed in breaking through. Ning Chu controlled the joy in his heart and nodded vigorously. Zhang Shaoyao couldn't control himself. His eyebrows were crooked, like a rabbit about to pounce on the bed, but Huai Cao Shi and Ning Chu jointly held him back.
After being stopped, the girl scratched her forehead in embarrassment, looked at the two people on the bed with wide eyes, crushed the idea of poking with her finger, and asked impatiently: "Uncle Master, Master's realm is stable. Doesn’t that mean the breakthrough was successful? Why haven’t they both woke up yet?”
Fatigue assaulted Huai Cao Shi's nerves all the time. She simply sat on the edge of the bed, gently raised her fingers on the jade surface, and said with a smile: "I thought that my junior sister's Taoist heart would be affected, but I didn't expect that her Taoist heart would be strong." Incomparably, there is no hidden danger, don’t worry, Mu Qing’s spiritual fetus has not returned yet, she is probably thinking about how to keep Mu Qing from being affected.”
And just as Huai Cao's poem said, in Huai Fenghua's sea of consciousness, Huai Fenghua's voice was full of seriousness and said to Muqing: "Your spiritual fetus leaves the sea of consciousness without permission, and the consequences will be ridiculous. I have not eliminated the hidden dangers." Way..."
Mu Qing interrupted her and said: "Don't worry, aunt, this is not the first time. I will be asleep for a day or two at most."
Not the first time?
Huaifenghua looked at the small sword of spiritual consciousness behind Mu Qing, and her spiritual consciousness was condensed in the spiritual realm. This was impossible. She was once again shocked that Mu Qing must have encountered something even more bizarre than she expected when she left Tiannan this time.
Mu Qing glanced around. After Huai Fenghua regained control of the sea of consciousness, the spiritual consciousness floating around had already calmed down. After he withdrew his spiritual consciousness, the gap in the outline of the voice had been automatically closed.
Huaifenghua sensed Mu Qing's doubts. She never tried to hide anything about Mu Qing, so she explained softly: "I gained a lot from this incident. Because of the earth spirit root, my spiritual consciousness should be stronger than others." Realm people are much stronger, and, you see.”
The figure of Huai Fenghua pointed her finger in the air, and the huge figure that enveloped her and Mu Qing instantly dissipated in all directions, turning into a normal sea of consciousness. If it was further restricted, the sea of consciousness quickly shrank and formed a huge figure again. .
This huge figure no longer maintains a sleeping posture, but maintains exactly the same movements as the figure holding Fenghua in front of Mu Qingling's womb.
Huai Fenghua said thoughtfully: "I know from ancient books that there is spiritual fetus reshaping, but I don't know what changes will happen to my spiritual fetus if the reshaping is successful. Now it seems that this change has no impact on the spiritual fetus. My future practice will be very helpful.”
"Um?"
"You have actually condensed your spiritual consciousness, so you should know that at the peak of the true self realm, spiritual consciousness turns into spiritual consciousness, and the spiritual embryo turns into the soul. Although I don't know much about the cultivation of the soul, I can feel it. I seem to be By a strange combination of circumstances, I took a big step on the path of soul cultivation, and the sea of consciousness was condensed and transformed. If it weren't for the reshaping of the spiritual fetus, I probably wouldn't have thought of doing this."
Mu Qing looked at the figure beside him that was exerting a faint pressure on him. He believed that Huai Fenghua's intuition was correct and said happily for her: "Auntie's current spiritual fetus is indeed very solid."
"This is not my spiritual fetus." The figure of Huaifenghua tilted her head, feeling something carefully. As she raised her head, the voice that enveloped her and Mu Qing shrank again, merging with her current figure. A pressure that was dozens of times stronger than before suddenly erupted. This pressure was controlled by Huai Fenghua and did not rush towards Mu Qing's spirit fetus, but it still made the small sword of consciousness behind Mu Qing tremble.
"I didn't expect that this is really a spiritual infant body."
Spirit baby?
Mu Qing knew that the Yuanshen was also called Yuanying. Could it be that this was a spiritual body between the spiritual fetus and the Yuanshen?
Huaifenghua didn't know much more than Mu Qing, and tried hard to recall the superficial records she had seen, "The spiritual infant body is not a transitional physique that will definitely appear in the cultivation of the soul. On the contrary, the spiritual infant body is very rare and can be understood as a This kind of mutated spiritual fetus, in my current state, seems to be able to use certain soul-like methods."
"It's a pity that even the most superficial Yuan Shen Dharma now only has a few words in some rare books..."
Huaifenghua searched for her memory and sighed helplessly.
The memory of monks is generally photographic, but it can be important or not.
Her superficial memory of Yuanshen should be from the days before Mu Qing and Zhang Shaoyao were captured and brought back to Hidden Valley. As the owner of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, she was really depressed and bored, so she picked up the ancient books that were gathering dust in the corner and thought of ways to fight. time. Unexpectedly, looking back, those ancient books were quite precious.
Mu Qing couldn't bear to see the person he cherished showing some weak emotions. He frowned and listened silently, and suddenly shouted: "Yes!"
Huaifenghua glanced sideways at Mu Qing. After experiencing all the things in the sea of consciousness, she had unknowingly downplayed her relationship with the junior Mu Qing, and vaguely regarded her as a kindred spirit who could communicate with each other and improve their realm.
Mu Qing faced Huaifenghua's doubtful gaze, pointed the fingertips of his spirit fetus, and released a bit of light that flew towards the center of the eyebrows of Huaifenghua.
With the experience of being taught the Concentration Technique before, the figure of Huaifenghua stood quietly without stopping.
As a result, when the bright light hit her eyebrows, it was directly reflected towards Mu Qing. The defensive capabilities of this spiritual infant body were beyond even Huai Fenghua's expectation.
Mu Qing let out a light sigh and sent this light to Huaifenghua again.
After Huaifenghua took the initiative to let go of her defenses and accepted the light, she immediately made a sound of surprise and remained silent for a long time before looking at Mu Qing with disbelief on her face, "This is the complete skill of cultivating the soul. Dharma, there are also some tricks similar to the soul leaving the body, how do you..."
At the end, Huaifenghua smiled bitterly and stopped asking.
People are like this. When you act very arrogant, it gives a big surprise. But if you keep surprising people like this, it will make people think that you are such a person.
Mu Qing did not expect that Huaifenghua had already classified Mu Qing into the category of "Son of Destiny". He thought for a long time and didn't know how to explain it.
After Huaifenghua walked through the gate of hell, she looked down on life and death and showed a vague open-mindedness. Instead, she took the lead and said to Muqing: "I know you must have great adventures, but this is the foundation of your life. You Just keep your secrets to yourself."
Huaifenghua vaguely thought a little far. If a genius like Mu Qing made enemies with others in the future, the enemy must be at an extraordinary level. The other party couldn't deal with Mu Qing, but there would probably be a way to deal with them. If some vicious secret methods were used to force the search She knew Mu Qing's secrets and even her weaknesses from her, which was not good.
Mu Qing shook his head and looked at the small sword of spiritual consciousness. He didn't know when this part of his spiritual consciousness was able to maintain the appearance of Ye Yun's sword. "I did go through a lot when I left Tian'an this time. There are so many things that I really don’t know where to start.”
Huaifenghua squinted her eyes and stared for a while, then said quietly: "You have a girl you like? What should I do with Shaoyao?"
"Ah?!" Mu Qing was really shocked and at a loss. She didn't know how Huaifenghua knew that he had a girl he liked.
"Have you forgotten that you are still in my sea of consciousness?" Huaifenghua, who was supposed to be nimble and cunning in the girl Zhang Shaoyao, blinked and said: "It's so sour that it makes you feel astringent, and it's It tastes so sweet that it’s cloying. Tell me, tell my aunt, what’s the name of the girl you like and how beautiful she is?”
Mu Qing lowered his head. At this moment, two pretty faces with their own beauty appeared in his mind, which really made him extremely embarrassed.
"Hey~ It's just a pain for my disciple. It turns out that she has always had unrequited love."
"Auntie! I have always treated Shaoyao as my own sister. How can there be love between men and women?"
"Okay, okay." Huaifenghua waved her hand and said with a smile: "It suddenly occurred to me that these Heart Soul Pill particles cannot be wasted."
"Um?"
Huai Fenghua had actually been thinking about the impact of Mu Qing's spirit fetus leaving the sea of consciousness easily. Suddenly she thought of her own experience, pointed at the golden particles that were still restrained by Mu Qing's true energy at this moment, and said: "I personally I have experienced that these pure Heart and Soul Pill particles are a great tonic. You can try to refine and fuse them in my sea of consciousness, so that I can check it for you."
Mu Qing's eyes also fell on the golden particles the size of a baby's fist. After pondering for a moment, he no longer hesitated, nodded to Huaifenghua, and sat down cross-legged.
He pulled out the small sword of consciousness behind him and stabbed the ball of Heart and Soul Pill particles, and the change happened in an instant.
Amidst the grinding sound that made one's teeth sore, those golden particles seemed to have found a good destination, swarming towards Chao Muqing's little sword of consciousness.
In just a few breaths, the golden light on Mu Qing's small sword of consciousness solidified several times. At first glance, it looked like a small sword made entirely of gold.
Nothing unexpected happened. Huaifenghua breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sword curiously, and said to Muqing: "Try to stab me with this sword."
Mu Qing was originally worried that Huaifenghua's spirit fetus had just been reshaped, but thinking that he could control it, he very carefully stabbed Huaifenghua with his small sword.
With a thought in mind, Huaifenghua stretched out her right index finger. The light on her index finger solidified for a few minutes before heading towards the tip of the sword.
As a result, at the moment of contact, she let out a soft cry and retracted her hand as fast as lightning.
Mu Qing was also very fast. After hearing Huaifenghua's painful sound, he immediately used the small sword of consciousness.
Huaifenghua smiled at him and said: "This sword is devouring my spiritual consciousness, and it seems to be able to ignore defense. I really don't know how, but I guess this should be consistent with your physique."
"You can't let me take all the benefits. It seems that you can add one more method to my accidental suggestion. If you don't use this little sword to attack other people's consciousness in the early stage, it may have unexpected effects."
Mu Qing's heart moved. He had never thought about this kind of fighting method. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. He raised his head and smiled at Huaifenghua: "Auntie, they must be a little impatient, so I will go back."
What did this guy say? It was as if he would come to visit next time. She hummed softly, looked at Mu Qing's spirit fetus that looked exactly the same as the real one, and said leisurely: "My realm has stabilized and I don't need to retreat anymore. You can come to me whenever you are ready."
Mu Qing knew what Du Ming was talking about. Thinking of the mud-legged alley in Suzaku City, his heart tightened. He nodded silently and exited Huaifenghua's sea of consciousness.
"They're awake!"
The moment Mu Qing opened his eyes, as soon as the hoarse voice entered his ears, he saw a voice flying towards him, and subconsciously raised his hand to block it in front of him.
"snort--"
Zhang Shaoyao snorted, jumped forward slightly, stopped beside Mu Qing and Huaifenghua, and shouted loudly: "Master, you are finally awake!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Master can hear you."
Huaifenghua raised her hand to pinch the girl's elastic face, frowning slightly, and felt a little unnatural.
"You have been in a coma for two decades. It is normal for your body to be unable to keep up with your thoughts. You will get better if you rest peacefully in the near future." Huai Caoshi said softly, standing beside the bed with a smile.
Huaifenghua looked at the tired face in front of her, her nose was sour for no reason, her eyes were astringent, and she called her senior sister in a low voice.
"Some things happened while you were in coma, but Wanhua Valley is generally safe, so don't worry."
Huaifenghua shook her head, many emotions arose at the same time, and suddenly she didn't know what to say. Her eyes swept over everyone in the secret room, and finally she just said: "Senior sister, I made a breakthrough."
"Why did you break through? Have you started to dislike me, a second-grade senior sister?"
The two women looked at each other and smiled, as if in a trance.
