The realm of absolute souls.
Zhong Ling'er was lying on the Xinghua Clock, with a small green snake twirling around her fingertips, and said, "We have searched through it bit by bit using the most troublesome methods. Are you really sure there is such a place?"
Mu Qing said, "There should be no problem with the map, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find Luoxia Ridge."
Mu Qing looked behind him.
At this time, the Broken Land where Luoxia Ridge is located is shimmering with light in the distance. If the two of them move forward a little further, the light will disappear.
The two of them were in a position where they could just see the boundary of Luoxia Ridge.
Mu Qing had confusion in his eyes.
At first, they kept looking forward according to the direction on the map, but they still found nothing. Mu Qing suspected for the first time that Zhong Ling'er had deviated from the direction. Zhong Ling'er was so angry that she simply returned the same way. In the end, it was proved that she had not deviated from the direction.
If the direction on the map is correct and Zhong Linger has not deviated from the direction, then what is the problem?
The two began to use Luoxialing as their target and began to expand the scope of their search little by little, but until now they still have not gained anything.
Zhong Ling'er turned her head and looked at Mu Qing and said, "You are actually right. Since we can find Luoxia Ridge, the direction should be fine. Otherwise, we should choose the original direction until we find it."
Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "The distance we walked in the first place was farther than the combined distance of the previous broken spaces, otherwise I would not suspect that you have strayed from the direction."...
Zhong Ling'er nodded: "You have been silent during this period. Have you discovered anything?"
Mu Qing guessed: "I remembered what Saint Muyun reminded me. Xichuan Chengcheng majored in the way of the soul. Maybe he is still alive, so that outsiders cannot find Xichuan City on their own initiative."
Zhong Ling'er looked at him and said helplessly: "If the master doesn't welcome him, we may never find him."
Mu Qing looked at Zhong Linger and hesitated to speak.
Another exploration with Luoxialing as the destination.
What was different from the first time was that both Zhong Ling'er and her younger brother Xu Sheng completely released their auras.
Mu Qing looked at the little figure sitting in front of him and apologized: "I really can't think of a good way, I'm sorry."
Zhong Ling'er snorted: "I'm sorry doesn't work at all. Let's make an agreement now. When the Great Sun Sect is rebuilt, you will find me ten talented disciples. They can only be a little worse than you."
Mu Qing smiled helplessly and said, "If it really works this time, just wait for me outside."
Zhong Ling'er shook her head: "I also want to meet people who practice the way of the soul, and maybe it can inspire me in my practice."
Mu Qing frowned slightly and was about to persuade Zhong Ling'er not to take risks when Zhong Ling'er suddenly exclaimed: "Yeah!"
Mu Qing hurriedly came to Zhong Ling'er and looked forward, his eyes uncertain.
A blue vortex stretched across the void, blocking them in front of them.
Zhong Ling'er praised: "You really guessed it right."
Zhong Ling'er made a move from behind, and the Xinghua Bell under the two of them turned into the size of a palm. She handed the Xinghua Bell to Mu Qing and said, "Hang the Xinghua Bell around your waist. If I don't come out, the other party won't be able to find me." .”
Mu Qing said helplessly: "I used your breath to attract him, how could he not find you?"
Zhong Ling'er raised her chin and hummed softly: "What if he knows I'm here? If I don't come out, he can't do anything to me. But you, if you are in trouble, remember to ask me for help."
"Let's go!"
As Zhong Ling'er spoke, she and the green snake beside her turned into two streams of light and flew into the Xinghua Bell.
Mu Qing hung the Xinghua Bell on his waist carefully and looked at the blue vortex in front of him, his expression became much more solemn.
A remnant soul like Qing Ying can stir up a big storm. What will happen to a complete living creature facing an outsider like him?
Mu Qing took out a blue crystal bead from the ring, looked at the gentle light emitted by the crystal bead, his eyes slowly became firm, and he flew straight towards the whirlpool.
After briefly disappearing from the experience, Mu Qing landed firmly on the ground with both feet, opened his eyes and looked around.
The connected place within the whirlpool is, not surprisingly, the broken space where Xichuan City is located.
Mu Qing looked at the tall city wall in front of him.
He looked at the three ancient characters on the city wall and walked towards the bottom of the ancient characters with a calm expression.
The city gate consists of two tall wooden doors, which are unguarded and unlocked.
Mu Qing pushed open the city gate.
As the yellowed ancient city gate was pushed open little by little, the originally silent and empty world came to life. Countless voices with different contents came one after another, and several figures appeared on the avenue connecting the city gate.
They came and went without looking towards the city gate.
Separated by a door, there are actually two worlds.
Mu Qing's scalp was numb, and he slowly exhaled and walked into the city gate.
At this time, a man wearing rune armor blocked Mu Qing's path and said in a deep voice: "Where are you from? Why are you here?"
Mu Qing took two steps back and then looked at the person in front of him.
This man was very tall, almost the size of a person from the Gu family who activated Pangu's body. Mu Qing's eyes fell on the runes on his breastplate, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "I come from the Dairi Sect, and I came to Xichuan City. To find my Taoist companion."
After Mu Qing said this, he was ready to fight.
But the man who looked like a guard just lowered his head to record and then stepped aside.
Mu Qing continued to walk forward.
On the avenue, people with a little weird tone were doing their own things and going in different directions.
Occasionally, someone would notice Mu Qing who was looking away, and would take the initiative to talk and introduce their identities to Mu Qing.
As he got to know more and more people, Mu Qingcai was probably sure that all the people walking on the street were practitioners.
Some of them came from major sects in the north, and some came from other parts of Taishi Continent. They had their own stories before entering Xichuan City, and they had their own relationships after entering Xichuan City.
Mu Qing was very puzzled.
Is all this true? Or is it an illusion woven by the Almighty?
Mu Qing walked to the end of the avenue and finally got a piece of valuable information from a monk.
Their city lord has been in seclusion for many years, and his practice is in the thatched cottage by the river east of the city.
Mu Qing went straight to the east of the city and soon arrived at the river.
The scenery along the river is quiet and quiet. There are many wineries built along the river, and the air is filled with the light aroma of wine.
Mu Qing unknowingly walked to a wine shop and saw a monk using magic to carry clear water from the river, so he took a few more glances.
He waited until the monk finished his work, then walked forward and asked proactively: "Fellow Taoist, is the city lord's thatched cottage still far away?"
The monk had a handsome appearance. When he saw Mu Qing, he smiled knowingly and said, "Are you also here to beg the Lord of the City?"
The monk's mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol. Mu Qing turned slightly and said respectfully: "My Taoist companion is here. The city lord may know her whereabouts."
"Well... Then you are not wrong. The city lord must know where your Taoist companion is. Oh, by the way, my name is Du Qingquan. My grandfather's grandfather started brewing this yellow rice wine. You and I are destined, why don't you accompany me and Two glasses."
The corner of Mu Qing's mouth twitched and she politely declined Du Qingquan's invitation.
Du Qingquan suddenly grabbed Mu Qing's arm, his breath flowing out, and said angrily: "Did you meet Ye Laoer and the others when you came here?"
Mu Qing was a little surprised. The Du Qingquan in front of him actually had the cultivation level of the early mortal. Mu Qing was always ready to escape. He shook his head and said: "I walked along the river just to find the city lord's thatched cottage. I have never seen them."
"Ah, I'm sorry about that."
Du Qingquan quickly let go of his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Our Xichuan City is named after this river, but it is really famous in the north for the yellow rice wine steamed from the clear water in the river."
"Although the Lord of the City has announced the recipe of Huangliang Wine a long time ago, the reputation of the second best wine in Xichuan City has always fallen on my Du family. Ye Laoer's wine is not one-tenth as good as mine. One, I just thought you were deceived by them and looked down on my wine..."
Du Qingquan turned around and walked towards the wine shop. The large tank filled with clean water trembled slightly and floated up, slowly following him.
Mu Qing watched this scene in silence and was about to continue walking along the river, but Du Qingquan suddenly stopped. He leaned against the door and asked with a smile: "You should
You're a foreigner, new to Xichuan City, right? "
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows. He met many people along the way, and Du Qingquan was the first person to take the initiative to guess his origin, so he nodded.
Du Qingquan had an expression that said, "I know it." He patted the door frame and reminded: "Everyone in Xichuan City knows that the city lord brews the best Huangliang wine, a thousand times better than what I brew, so you people Everyone who comes here just wants to try his wine.”
Mu Qing looked at Du Qingquan and felt that there was something in Du Qingquan's words.
Du Qingquan's smile faded a lot, and he said to Mu Qing: "Wine is our emotional sustenance, the breeze is it, the falling snow is it, the moon in the sky is still it, how can its quality be based solely on its reputation? We should have our own preferences ,do you think so?"
Mu Qing nodded slightly.
Unexpectedly, Du Qingquan shook his head and said, "Each beauty catches his own eye. If that were the case, I wouldn't have to cling to the reputation of being second best. The young lady from the Ye family might have married me long ago."
Mu Qing frowned.
The aura on Du Qingquan's body increased and he had reached the middle stage of mortal transformation.
Seeing that Mu Qing was so vigilant, Du Qingquan smiled boringly, picked up the wine gourd hanging around his waist, shook it, and said: "Fellow Taoist, each of us is dominated by the desires in our hearts, and this is why we cannot live without it. The reason for it.”
"Since you want to see the Lord of the City so much, I will tell you a secret."
"Many, many years ago, the city lord was seriously injured and went into seclusion, and no one could see him."
"Seriously injured?" Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly, "What happened?"
Du Qingquan pointed at the blue sky, took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "There was chaos in the north. In order to protect Xichuan City, the city lord activated the forbidden technique and included the entire city in the mustard seed."
Mu Qing said: "I met a lot of people along the way, and they didn't seem to know anything about it."
Du Qingquan looked at Mu Qing and suddenly smiled: "Because after so many years, few people have left Xichuan City."
Mu Qing frowned: "Aren't they curious about the outside world?"
Du Qingquan said: "Everyone of them likes here from the bottom of their hearts. If it is better here than outside, why are they curious? And... this will help them solve their doubts and find answers."
Du Qingquan raised the wine gourd in his hand to signal to Mu Qing, and took another sip.
Mu Qing looked at the clear and dry wine pouring from the mouth of the gourd, and for the first time he had the idea of trying it. He quickly suppressed the thought and said, "You said someone left Xichuan City."
Du Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes."
Just as Mu Qing was about to speak, a sword whistling sound suddenly sounded from the direction of the city gate. Mu Qing looked subconsciously and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The one standing on the sword and flying into the city turned out to be Ye Yun!
