Qingcao and the three of them went exploring and hunting for treasure wherever there was a map. The level of the monsters in this secret realm is very high, almost all of them are above the divine king stage. So most of them walked around these monsters.
Some of them are really unavoidable, so only the three of them will fight against the monsters. In the blink of an eye, over thirty years have passed and they have visited most of the secret realm.
Leng Yunxi Road suggested that we should explore areas where no map is displayed.
As for dangerous things, cultivating immortals is not dangerous. So the three of them went directly to the nearest area.
"What a strong ghost spirit!" Leng Yunxi's cold voice sounded.
Qingcao frowned: "This has become a ghost realm. A naturally formed ghost realm, but powerful ghosts will appear! We have to be careful."
Then Qingcao released Duqing, a place where Duqing could absorb ghost energy and improve him.
The three of them were exploring this ghost land.
"Ziqing, Lingxin, there are traces of the formation here." Yuqing called through the voice transmission. Then Qingcao and Leng Yunxi went to the house where Yuqing was.
Yuqing found traces of the formation in an ancestral hall.
After Qingcao checked it, he found that the formation was a space formation, and Qingcao easily cracked it.
Entering the space, it was filled with the bodies of children. The oldest child's bone age is no more than twelve years old, and the youngest is only half a year old.
"Oh my god, why are there so many children?" Yuqing said in surprise.
These children were all mummified bodies. Qingcao’s spiritual consciousness carefully examined them and found that none of these children were injured. They all died of starvation.
"Bury the body." Yuqing sighed deeply. These children were so pitiful. I don’t know what happened to them, but they all starved to death in this space.
The three of them then collected the body and buried it after leaving the ghost realm. If buried in a ghost realm, these corpses may turn into ghosts after thousands of years.
After that, the three continued to search for clues.
With a sound of "咻——", a black shadow flashed from behind the three of them. The three people's consciousness only caught the flash of the black shadow and did not see clearly what it was.
"Bang!" Yuqing was directly knocked away, and Qingcao used the time field. When the black shadow entered the field, Qingcao used the power of time to immobilize the black shadow.
It was a ghost formed by a ball of black energy, and Leng Yunxi threw out lightning strikes one after another. In a dozen breaths, the ghost's black energy was dispersed.
After being dispersed, the ghost revealed a baby face.
This is a ghost baby!
Leng Yunxi took out nine talismans, laid out the talisman array, and then started to kill the ghosts.
The ghost was beaten by the rune array with a ferocious look, and then erupted with majestic ghost energy. The ghost energy soared into the sky, directly breaking through the rune array and the time domain, and then escaped directly.
Qingcao and three others immediately gave chase, and the ghost flew directly to the ancestral hall where they had found the child's body. Then I saw the ghost flying into a tablet named Lin Ying.
After the three people caught up, they immediately checked the tablet named Lin Ying and found that this tablet actually had a special space. None of the three people noticed it before.
The three of them looked at each other and then flew towards the memorial tablet together. Then the three of them appeared at an altar.
There is a baby's corpse above the altar. This baby's corpse must be the original body of the ghost just now.
However, before the three of them could get close to the main body, a group of ghosts of men, women, and children appeared. These ghosts pounced directly on the three of them. These ghosts were not strong and were easily dispersed by them.
But within a short time of breaking up the cup of tea, these ghosts came out again. With such a cycle of appearances, the three of them knew that these ghosts could not be killed.
Leng Yunxi and Yuqing intercepted the ghost, and Qingcao rushed directly to the baby's body.
Rushing in front of the baby's body, Qingcao held the Qingyun Sword and slashed straight down. "Dang!" With a sound, the Qingyun Sword was bounced away by the protective barrier of the baby's corpse.
Qingcao immediately released Xiaoyi, letting him enter the barrier and destroy the baby's body.
Xiao Yi shrank his body, entered the barrier, and then sprayed venom. Before the venom hit the baby's body, the baby's body suddenly opened its eyes and said, "You bad guys, we want you all to die!"
The baby's body suddenly grew in size and turned into a giant baby more than three meters tall. The giant baby exudes a strong ghost energy, and the ghost energy wraps around the giant baby's body like wind.
A ghostly wind wall formed!
The attacks of Qingcao and the others were directly blocked by the ghost wind wall.
The giant baby has a huge body, but its movements are agile and its attack power is also very strong. Within a short while, Yuqing was injured.
Qingcao asked Yuqing to go out first, while she and Leng Yunxi stayed to deal with the giant baby ghost.
Leng Yunxi, Xue'er, and Qingzi went to hold the giant baby, while Qingcao was setting up the Brahma Prajna Formation. When the formation was completed, Pu Yan and others' chanting came from the Brahma Prajna Formation, as well as their attacks. force.
The giant baby ghost was seriously injured by Buddha's attack and chanting. Qingcao and Leng Yunxi took the opportunity to take action and directly killed the giant baby ghost.
When the giant baby ghost was about to die, it shot out a ball of black air that enveloped the green grass and Leng Yunxi. Then the two disappeared into this space.
Qingcao and Leng Yunxi woke up from hunger. When he opened his eyes, he saw the two of them in a dilapidated room.
A quarter of an hour later, Qingcao and Leng Yunxi understood the current situation. They were sold by their family members.
Because there is drought and famine now, there are people selling their sons and daughters everywhere.
This room is full of children between the ages of twelve and seven, and there are boys and girls between the ages of fifteen and eighteen in the next room.
Qingcao asked Qingqing to scan it, and there were ten people guarding it. These people are mortals, and killing them is easy.
However, although Qingcao and Leng Yunxi have become mortals, the situation is not clear yet, so they dare not kill people casually.
So Qingcao took out the poison and knocked down ten people.
Qingcao and Leng Yunxi took the ropes and tied up the ten people.
Then Qingcao took the leader aside alone, woke him up, and then used the talisman to talk.
I learned more information from this elder brother. They are now in Yunqi Kingdom, and it is the 323rd year of Yunqi. Half a year ago, a large-scale drought occurred in Yunqi Kingdom. Due to the drought, food decreased sharply.
Drought was followed by floods, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. Later, the plague broke out in many places, and the people had no way to survive. So in order to survive, some families had to sell their sons and daughters.
You can let your children live, and you can let other people in your family live.
Ninety percent of these children were sold by their families in exchange for food.
These traffickers are pretty good and the prices they give are pretty fair. And the places where they sell people are basically the homes of wealthy businessmen or officials.
Seldom sold to brothels. Unless there are some special circumstances, it may be sold to a brothel.
As for Qingcao and Lengyunxi, one is now named Xiaocao and the other is Xiaoxi. They are from the same village. It was bought by human traffickers in Dashan Village of Liuyun City.
Their family was also short of food, so they had no choice but to sell them. Before them, their family had sold their sister, and their sister was also bought by the boss, Luo Zhu.
Both of their sisters were sold to wealthy businessmen as maids.
The two of them were selling goods quite far away. It was such a long road today that they couldn't contact their families for a while.
As for why Luo Zhu remembers it so clearly, it's because their sisters took the initiative to find Luo Zhu. He sold himself to his family in exchange for food, in order to keep his family alive.
Luo Zhu rarely met young children selling their own goods. Most of them were in their forties or fifties, single, and sold themselves because they couldn't survive anymore.
After asking about the situation, Qingcao and Leng Yunxi fell silent. Fortunately, they didn't rush in and kill this group of traffickers. Although these traffickers were selling people, they were still saving people.
In such a difficult period, people really cannot survive.
Afterwards, Qingqing scanned the world and found that it was indeed a real world. They should have been made into what they are now by the ghost babies.
It is still unclear how to leave, or whether to leave forever.
So Qingcao and Leng Yunxi discussed it and decided to temporarily follow the trafficker.
While Qingcao and Leng Yunxi were interrogating Luo Zhu, a little boy woke up and ran away secretly. Qingcao and Leng Yunxi knew that the little boy had run away, but they did not stop him.
Anyway, this is the little boy's own decision, and they won't meddle in their own business.
As for the other children, they all stayed quietly. They felt that if they ran away, they would not be able to survive. Nowadays, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and we have to follow the traffickers to get enough to eat.
At least they won't starve to death.
And if they ran away, they didn't know where they were going. If they encounter man-eaters or ferocious beasts, they will have no choice but to die.
No smart person would do the stupid thing of running away.
The traffickers loosened their bonds and then waited for them to wake up naturally.
After waking up, this group of people were also in a daze, thinking that they had all fallen asleep. After discovering a child ran away. Luo Zhu and the others did not chase after them, but more people were keeping watch behind them.
Qingcao and Leng Yunxi slept during the day and entered the small world at night to check the map and information about the world posted by Qingqing.
In addition to Yunqi Kingdom, there are other countries around this world. There are three big countries in the surrounding area: the Fierce Warring States, the Wuzhi State, and the Mingguang State, as well as many small countries.
And there is a famine in Yunqi Kingdom, and the Tianma Kingdom, which is next to Yunqi Kingdom, is eyeing the border, and a war may break out at any time.
"Qingqing, are there any cultivators in this world?"
Qing Qingfei said beside Qingcao: "Yes, go to the southeast sea area. There is a cultivation world outside the sea. However, this cultivation world is not big, not as big as the small world, and the spiritual energy is not very strong."
"So what's going on now? Can you get us out of this place?"
"No, host, this place feels a little weird. It seems real and fake! It feels like you have to find the key point before you can leave."
"The key isn't the ghost baby, right?"
"I don't know about this, but there is more than half a chance that it is a ghost baby."
"Okay." Qingcao sighed.
Leng Yunxi: "Qingcao, take the spiritual stone to test and see if our spiritual roots are still there."
Qingcao found the spirit-testing stone, and then the two of them tested their spiritual roots. The spiritual roots are still there, and they are still their own spiritual roots, and they can cultivate.
Because they can practice, they go into the small world to practice every night.
A month later, Luo Zhu and his people arrived at Huaiyang City, which was Luo Zhu's base camp.
Luo Zhu handed the people he brought back to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was Luo Zhu's cousin. She used to be a nanny in the official palace. Later, something happened to the official. Before something happened to the official, A group of people were released.
Nanny Zhang was one of them and was released from the house. Mother Zhang, who had no children, returned to her hometown of Huaiyang, and later met Luo Zhu.
Luo Zhu promised to support Nanny Zhang in her old age, so Nanny Zhang took on the responsibility of teaching these bought people good manners. After being taught, these people can be sold to wealthy businessmen and officials.
A month later, Qingcao and Leng Yunxi were selected by the Huaiyang magistrate's office, and then became the third-class maids of Tang Zhenmin, the fourth concubine.
The third-class maids don't have much to do, they just clean and run errands.
Therefore, Qingcao and Leng Yunxi have a lot of free time. With more time, they have more time to practice.
In more than two months, the two of them have broken through the foundation building stage and reached the middle stage of foundation building.
After staying for half a year, the Lingyun Sect in the world of cultivation came to the Mortal Kingdom to recruit disciples.
Children between the ages of fifteen and five were tested, so Qingcao and Lengyunxi were directly selected. Tang Minzhen, the fourth lady, also has spiritual roots, which are single spiritual roots of the water system.
There are 153 children with spiritual roots in Yunqi Country, and there are also many children with spiritual roots in other countries. After they boarded the spirit ship, people from all countries gathered together.
In the first few days of the spirit ship's flight, the children were quite curious, but as time passed, everyone felt bored.
An uncle who came to recruit children in the foundation-building stage would spend an hour every day talking about things in the world of cultivation in order to prevent them from being bored.
From Lingyun Sect, he talked about the major sects, and then those genius disciples, and then talked about how cultivation is about competing with heaven for fate, competing with people for resources, etc.
It took more than half a year for them to reach the world of cultivation.
But after entering Lingyun Sect, Qingcao and Leng Yunxi's expressions changed slightly. Although Lingyun Sect is a righteous sect, it is controlled by an evil cultivator who is in the tribulation period.
Because Lingyun Sect is a small sect, with a total of just over a thousand people.
This evil cultivator took a fancy to the position of Lingyun Sect and it was a small sect, so he took control of Lingyun Sect.
This evil cultivator controlled Lingyun Sect and brought back so many children in order to train him to overcome the calamity. He wants to break through the tribulation period, so he needs people to sacrifice.
However, sacrifices also require these people to practice to the foundation building stage before they can offer sacrifices.
On the night of the second day after joining the sect, Qingcao and Leng Yunxi entered the small world, and then drove the small world to the evil cultivator's cave. Then Qingzi was released, but Qingzi's cultivation remained unchanged.
So after Qingzi came out, he killed the evil cultivator with one blow. After killing the evil cultivator, Qingzi threw the body out directly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the body of the evil cultivator was discovered by the foundation-building disciples of Lingyun Sect. Then the leader of Lingyun Sect came out and burned the corpse of the evil cultivator.
