"What's the situation? How do you have this thing? Could it be that the Spirit Enhancement Fruit can be picked up casually now?"

Xiao Yi took the two fruits, stared at the ape in surprise and asked. At this moment, he began to suspect that he was not talking to himself just now, and this little guy might have understood what he said.

When the ape saw that he was holding the fruit and was just asking, he refused to eat it, so he simply grabbed the fruit and put it in his mouth. It jumped off the table and ran out with both hands and feet. Just out of the temple gate, he turned around, climbed the ginkgo tree in three or two, and then stood on the wall with another leap. The ape glanced back at Xiao Yat, who had chased to the door, let out a dissatisfied ape cry, and disappeared in a flash.

At first, the ape was still jumping up and down in the canopy of the forest, until it reached the top of the hill and there were no more trees adjacent to it, and then it fell to the ground and began to jump and climb with both hands and feet. Beyond the top of the mountain, in front of me was a mountain of crumbling rubble, and the ape moved from side to side, and in a few moments it descended into the valley. There are no plants to feed on, so it is not a place for animals to live. But the ape was shrewd enough to jump onto the top of a boulder and look around to check for movement. When it was sure it was safe, it jumped to a deserted beach by the stream and found a dark red pebble.

The ape slapped the pebble three times, and after a while it slapped it three more times, but nothing happened. The ape was a little anxious, and it began to beat the dark red pebbles desperately, and its mouth kept crying.

"What's going on? Are you slapping the ban?"

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly sounded from behind the ape, and the startled little guy hurriedly jumped away, it looked at Xiao Yat nervously, and then nervously looked at the skull-sized pebble, and finally raised two canine teeth and roared at Xiao Yat to warn.

"I said, you won't be able to beat me. You lead the way, I'll follow, if I let you find out too soon, will you still bring me?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yat pointed his right hand at the pebble. However, when his fingertips touched the pebble, he didn't feel any mana fluctuations. This is obviously an ordinary stone, why would an ape run over? Xiao Yi picked up the dark red pebble with his hand, and looked up and down but found no difference. Just when he wanted to put the stone back in place, Xiao Yi was surprised to find that a gray pebble with moss at the bottom appeared in the same place where he had just picked up the stone.

"What's the situation? Is this growing on its own?" Xiao Yi took the dark red pebbles and looked at them suspiciously, then looked at the new pebbles on the ground, and looked up in the direction of the ape.

"Don't look at it, this is the gate I set up. I'll find you as soon as you come over. Now that I'm in retreat, since you two are destined, let's live together for a while in the future. It's called Qiling, and it's always by my side, and I'm not at ease when I hand it over to others. It's just when you're here, so it's cheap for you kid. ”

An old and rich voice sounded out of thin air, Xiao Yi was stunned for a while, and then his face showed joy, and blurted out: "Old ancestor, you are still alive! ”

This voice is Xiao Yi's great-grandfather Xiao Qingyan. Although I didn't have much closeness at the time, I was the one I bumped into at the door of the temple. Looking at the ape now, no wonder it feels familiar, isn't this the little monkey next to the great-grandfather?

When Qiling heard his master's voice, he hurriedly ran to Xiao Yi's side and kowtowed to the pebbles.

"I know all about the temple, and now that I'm in retreat here, it's hard for the seven spirits to accompany me, this bad old man, and you can take care of each other by taking it with you. Your cultivation seems to be good at the moment, and it should be under your grandfather's care, but it is estimated that his cultivation for more than ten years is at most like this. In the future, you have to be very careful, and I will come to you on the day I leave the country. Remember, don't waste your life for petty gains. Although our Xiao family is not a great identity in cultivation, it will not be inferior to the earthly treasure talent. Live well, this is the biggest contribution you have made to the Xiao family. Then you don't have to come over, so as not to let people notice where the old man is. ”

Xiao Qingyan's voice stagnated slightly, and then he continued: "You have to take care of him more in the future, after all, he is still too young and not sensible." When necessary, protect him as you did me. Step aside. ”

Xiao Qingyan's voice disappeared suddenly, Xiao Yi could only say goodbye deeply, stretched out his hand to pull up the seven spirits who couldn't stop bowing and turned to leave.

Xiao Yi came to the imperial mausoleum and found that there was a group of people in his father's mausoleum who were carrying materials to prepare for repairs, thinking that this should be the handiwork of the little emperor. After looking at it for a while, Xiao Yi turned around and left. He won't be coming back anytime soon, and not coming back should be the best protection.

Devil's Corner, in the valley.

Xiao Yi walked into the sealing earth platform and saw the fire wood burning in the mist, and he was very emotional.

"How long will it take for the fruit trees to be extinguished? Is the amount of water too small, should I make it faster?"

Qiling looked at the fire tree in front of him, and when he heard Xiao Yi's words, he was confused for a while, and then he jumped off Xiao Yi's shoulder, and climbed onto the fire tree in a few flashes.

"Come back, you want to die! I ...... this thing."

Xiao Yi didn't finish speaking, but saw that the Seven Spirits were already sitting on a flame tree branch unharmed, and its fur was actually intact under the flames of this fire tree.

Qiling shouted at Xiao Yi excitedly a few times, and then burrowed into the flame leaves of the fire wood, Xiao Yi saw that it was okay, so he went with it. After all, he didn't dare to step forward at all now, and if he didn't do it, he would end up with Jade Beard. However, the seven spirits are obviously very adaptable to this environment, and they seem to be superfluous in everything they do except pray that nothing will happen.

Just as Xiao Yi was nervous, the Seven Spirits came out of the flame leaves of the fire tree with a roar of joy. It was holding two fingernail-sized fruits in its hands, and if it weren't for the fact that it was holding them in his hands, Xiao Yi wouldn't have found out that this fire tree actually had fruits.

Qiling crawled back to the ground, looked at the fruit in his hand like a burning red iron ball, and peeked at Xiao Yi, who was nervous on the side, and before the other party could react, it put the fruit in its mouth at a very fast speed.

Xiao Yi saw that the Seven Spirits ate casually, for fear that something would wrong with it, after all, the Seven Spirits were entrusted to him by his ancestor to take care of him, and if he ate his body, he would not be able to explain to his great-ancestor when he turned around.

He hurriedly stepped forward, opened Qiling's mouth, and said anxiously: "Spit it out, spit it out quickly! You dare to eat anything! If you don't spit it out, I will use internal force to force it out!"

Xiao Yat originally wanted to use his internal force to press his palm against Qi Ling's abdomen and force out the fruit that had just been swallowed by it. Only now he knew that it was simply impossible to do.

As soon as the fruit enters your mouth, it will turn into a hot current and rush into your abdomen, and before you can react, this hot current will quickly disperse and rush to the limbs. This kind of thing scattered all over the body, Xiao Yi can't force it out through internal force.

Nothing Xiao Yi would be so clear? It wasn't that Qiling took advantage of Xiao Yi's words to stuff another fruit into his mouth, and as a result, Xiao Yi was stunned, and everything happened naturally.

Soon Xiao Yi felt the scorching heat all around him, he didn't dare to suppress it next to the fire wood, he simply picked up Qiling and hurried outside, before he could find a safe place, the scorching heat in his body had already begun to erupt.

He hurriedly sat down cross-legged, using the spiritual power in his body to chase the rampant heat flow along the meridians. It's just that every time Xiao Yi captures a little fiery fragment in the heat flow, and just pulls it back to the dantian, the rest of the heat in his body will increase his vitality a little more. After capturing the rampaging fragments several times in a row, the heat flow in the rest of Xiao Yi's body was too fast to capture.

"No, I'm afraid I won't even be able to move this thing if they run wild! ”

Xiao Yiyun used his true qi and the spiritual power in his body to barely capture two small streams of heat, and it was already a delusion to want to capture them. The effect of the complementarity of true qi and spiritual power is not significant, but this is already the limit of what Xiao Yi can use. He couldn't die for a while, but if he wanted not to die, he had to resist with all his might, and the pain he endured gradually intensified.

Alternating day and night, Xiao Yi felt that the coolness of the fog around him was gradually weakening, and he didn't need to open his eyes to know that the heat emitted by this body was no longer something that could be slowed down by the water vapor gathered by the formation, and even he was destroying the covering formation that he had painstakingly arranged. This kind of attrition is not the violent impact of attacking the core array, it is completely the erosion of one and the other.

After another day, the ground around Xiao Yi had begun to dry up, and patches of grass and trees had dehydrated and died, but Xiao Yi had no intention of taking care of this change, and the heat flow in his body had changed from the original four streams to the impact meridians.

He had tried the pain of ten thousand ants at a young age, and compared to it, it was simply a gentle slap. The pain that Xiao Yat is experiencing now is estimated that only death can free him.

But he couldn't just give up on his life. The force that killed the uncle has not yet been found, and the murderer who destroyed the ancestral temple is still at large, he is already a monk, but he is not strong enough, at least not strong enough to compete with him. He didn't believe that the drought was a natural disaster back then, and there must have been another hidden reason for his father's departure. If you die like this, the truth of everything will be silent, and it seems that no one in the whole Beiji will look for the truth except for himself.

The hairy hand had been picking at Xiao Yi's lips, and something hard tried to pry open his clenched teeth. Xiao Yi didn't have the energy to drive away the stimuli from the outside world, he was now trying to capture a bit of the debris that was about to arrive, and if he was distracted, then the hard work of this day and night would be wasted.

Seeing Xiao Yi's teeth clenched, the other party knew that he couldn't force his way in, so he simply slapped Xiao Yat's cheeks, Xiao Yi's originally concentrated pursuit was quickly disintegrated by this beat, and the fragments that were about to arrive were also out of control. His teeth parted up and down, and a cold object plunged into his throat in an instant.

What is it?

Xiao Yi opened his eyes angrily, but before he could see the situation in front of him, the violent heat flow in his body was gone. Everything was quiet, what life and death, what time, all feelings were gone. Xiao Yi was completely unconscious, and the heat wave emitted from his body finally ignited the surrounding grass and trees, and a sea of fire engulfed the valley.

A few days later, Xiao Yat slowly rose from the ashes. In addition to a belt inlaid with jade in the middle, only two bags hung from the belt remained.

There is nothing around the body, the whole body is sore, and even the brain is muddy. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but he was still alive, and the heat that was raging through his body was gone.

The ribbon that bound Xiao Yi's head had long since been burned to ashes, and the jewel inlaid on it had melted into an unknown glass-like object. He pulled the red hair from his temples behind his head and rubbed his temples vigorously in an effort to ease the confusion in his head as much as possible.

"What's wrong with my hair? How can I have two sideburns and red hair?"

Xiao Yi pulled his hair back in front of him, and the two strands of red hair hanging down from his left and right temples were impressive. He didn't know what he had been through, but the change kept him alive and it didn't feel bad. Xiao Yat patted the storage bag and took out a set of underwear from it and put it on his body. After tying the belt, he gently pressed the jade in the center, and a white robe appeared on his body.

It seems that all the mundane things on his body have been burned, and only the storage bag and the belt given to him by the uncle are still preserved.

What about the Seven Spirits? Before he fell unconscious, he vaguely remembered that he was forcibly fed something by a pair of plush hands, so why did he wake up and not see the figure of the Seven Spirits? Could it be that this little creature was incinerated into ashes along with the surrounding plants? Since it could climb the fire tree unscathed, it should not be afraid of this flame heat. Could it be that it also died because of taking the fruit of the fire tree?

Xiao Yi looked around and said hello a few more times, but he never saw the figure of Qiling. So he went to the earthen platform seal to check the movement of the fire wood.

As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

At this time, there was a white-bearded and black-robed Taoist priest clinging to the trunk of the fire tree, and the spring water under his feet had soaked the ground, but he was not seen to dodge in the slightest.

"Hedaoyou, come and save me!"

Xiao Yi didn't open his mouth yet, and the other party called for help.

Seeing the other party's actions, it was obvious that the spiritual power was absorbed by the fire wood, and it seemed that it was more than a day. Xiao Yi couldn't think of how many days the other party had been sucked here. Why didn't I notice any signs of him being drained?

"Daoyou, I don't know what to call it? How can you save you? How long has Daoyou been in this situation?"

Xiao Yi heard movement in the canopy, but when he looked up, he saw that the Seven Spirits were poking their heads out and baring their teeth at him.

What is the situation? Seven is naturally happy with him. But why did the Seven Spirit's original tan fur turn brownish-red? And what was it saying with its teeth? Was it warning itself not to approach?

Xiao Yi knew that this seal was powerful, and he wouldn't get too close to the fire wood at all. But if he doesn't move forward, it seems that the seven spirits are still baring their teeth at him, is the danger not just as simple as approaching?

"Hedaoyou, I am Liu Changfeng, the guest elder of the Khan Qingmen. Our disciple Zhang Jun's nephew and you are old friends. This time, when he came back, he specially told me to take care of my fellow Daoists when I went out. The black-robed old man said with difficulty. His palms were pressed against the firewood, and from his palms, he could see that the slightest trace of spiritual power was being continuously withdrawn.

"The predecessor turned out to be from the Khan Qingmen, I don't know how to get your fellow Daoist out of trouble?" Xiao Yi asked with a deep bow.

"The method is also simple, you only need to use the magic weapon to cut down this fire tree, and the old man can get out of the predicament. The old man has been trapped for two days, and if it weren't for the fact that I had a high-grade spirit stone in my mouth, I am afraid that I would have been sucked dry by this fire tree. I also asked Daoyou to help on the thin face of Master Zhang's nephew. I will be a great favor to my friends in the future. Liu Changfeng opened his mouth as he spoke. Under his tongue was a high-grade spirit stone, a trick that Xiao Yi had seen in the jade talisman left by the jade beard. It's just that Jade Beard said that this practice was a life-saving measure specially prepared by some monks to deal with the dangers that occurred from time to time. Ordinary monks use both hands, and once they have no time to replenish their spiritual power, then the spiritual stone hidden in their mouths is the key to determining life and death. It seems that this old way has experienced a major crisis, and even this life-saving skill is ready at any time.

"Senior, although I have the heart to help, but my cultivation is too low, and now I only have ......" Xiao Yigang wanted to say that the cultivation of the second layer of the foundation was built, but he obviously felt that although his spiritual power was almost exhausted, the liquid pill at the dantian was much larger. Moreover, a small vortex formed on it again, continuously sucking the spiritual power gold dust on the surface towards the center.

"There is only a three-layer foundation cultivation in the lower part of the foundation, so I'm afraid there is no way to cut off this tree. ”

Lao Dao looked at Xiao Yi's cultivation and made sure that the other party was not deceiving himself. It's not that the other party is unwilling to try his best to rescue, but his cultivation is not enough to shake the fire tree. As soon as his belief turned, Lao Dao summoned a set of flags from his storage bag and landed on the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, I have a set of frost condensation array disks here, and then fellow Daoist friends can arrange the five array flags around. Three days after activating the array, the fire vein can be cut off. As long as this fire tree has no supply, then the poor road can find a chance to get out. However, in the past three days, I have to trouble Daoist friends to add spirit stones to my mouth from time to time. When the day of poverty and poverty is extricated, no matter how much it costs to care about friends, I will pay back double. At that time, my library will also be open to Taoist friends, and Taoist friends can go in with Master Zhang and nephew to choose their favorite exercises. ”

The benefits promised by Lao Dao are not only Xiao Yi, but also Zhang Jun's. If it's just Xiao Yi, then it shows how much the non-going faction attaches importance to Zhang Jun, who is familiar with him. Now the benefits are not only unique to Xiao Yi, so if Xiao Yi gives up by himself, he will also lose the benefits of Zhang Jun.

For those who are heavy on profit, Xiao Yat gets the benefits that are enough to help. If Xiao Yat does not value interests, but values reputation, then he will do his best when it comes to the interests of his friends.

Now the old promise makes Xiao Yi have fame and fortune, if he gives up, he will really regret it.

Xiao Yi thought for a while, and then said respectfully: "Senior, I'm going to arrange the formation flag below, I don't know if the senior has anything else to remind you?"

Seeing Xiao Yi step forward, the seven spirits on his head began to bounce back and forth restlessly on the fire tree. A low roar of warning came, which made Liu Changfeng very unhappy. He raised his head and glared at the Seven Spirits, eager to peel off the monkey's skin and bones. Immediately, he changed his expression to concern, looked back at Xiao Yi and said, "Nothing else." However, the cold in this frost condensation array is extremely cold, and Daoists must add more clothes before activation, and then use spiritual power to protect their bodies. If the cold is too strong, then Daoist friends need to protect their hearts and veins, and withdraw from the formation before healing. ”

Lao Dao said it sincerely, this kind of love from the elders for the younger generations made Xiao Yi almost moved to tears. When has this been? Don't forget to pack extra clothes?

Xiao Yi stepped forward and picked up the array flags, turned around and retreated to the entrance of the passage, but he didn't want to be in a hurry.

"Little friend, you add spirit stones to my mouth first! Otherwise, you go out to set up a formation, in case my spiritual power is insufficient, what is the point of that formation?"

"I don't have any spirit stones, why don't you get me some?"
