The shopkeeper put down the wine jug and exited the room, Xiao Yi looked at the wine and food on the table, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a hint of playfulness.

He walked to the table and sat down, took out a jug of wine from the storage bag, and took out two more baskets of snacks, just like that, while looking at the wine and food on the table, while eating the snacks he had brought with him. With a glass of wine in his stomach, Xiao Yat smashed a few dishes with chopsticks, and poured the wine from the porcelain bottle on them. Not all dishes are suitable for adding alcohol, so the table is a mess, and even if someone in the back kitchen steals it, it will not touch these things.

After greeting the guy on the second floor, he cleaned up the messy leftovers, and went back to the window to take out the book and read it carefully.

Xiao Yidang didn't do anything here, but the female cultivator in the mysterious space couldn't bear it anymore. In a hurry, he urged the magic trick and appeared directly in front of the No. 3 door of Tianzi on the second floor.

"Tempting you not to be tempted, you poured the drug for me, you forced me to do all this!"

The female cultivator kicked open the door, but saw that Xiao Yi was not half nervous, and was still holding the formation book and looking through it carefully.

This was the green-shirted masked female cultivator Xiao Yi had encountered in the back alley earlier, and she had just taken a step into the room when she noticed a fluctuation in her spiritual power.

"It's just a ban, do you want to restrict me too? Your cultivation is not enough!" As she spoke, the spiritual power on the female cultivator's body was slightly heavier, and the forbidden spell that had blocked her before was now useless.

The female cultivator spoke, but Xiao Yi on the other side still did not react. It was as if he was a bookworm, and at this time he was completely attracted by the book.

The female cultivator didn't talk nonsense, there was a short sword the size of a foot in her palm, and with a slight finger of her fingertips, the short sword flew towards Xiao Yi's head.

It's just that this sword stabbed over quickly, and Xiao Yi didn't panic and dodge, but turned another page unconsciously. The short sword stopped an inch in Xiao Yi's ear, and the female cultivator was also suspicious at this time.

Could it be that he shouted loudly and suddenly broke in, and in the eyes of the other party, he couldn't detect it at all? Could it be that there was any secret technique on his body that he forgot to remove, so the other party couldn't see or hear himself at all?

Raising her hand suspiciously and looking at her palm, the green-shirted nun raised her head suspiciously, and then looked at Xiao Yi, who was reading leisurely in front of her.

"Don't look at it, I see everything about Daoyou. It's just that Daoyou didn't hurt Xiao's killing intent three times and twice, since he is not an enemy, Xiao shouldn't be too nervous to beware of Your Excellency, right?"

Xiao Yi closed the book and gently tapped it into his storage bag. got up and bypassed the short sword, slowly walked to the female cultivator, and looked each other up and down curiously.

"I don't know where Xiao offended Daoyou? Ever since I stepped into Yecheng, Daoyou has been paying attention to it. Although Xiao is not a gentleman, he is not a traitor. After thinking about it, I didn't think that I had done anything wrong, and if I was shallow in my lower cultivation, it was impossible to offend any fellow cultivators. Please ask the girl to make it clear, if there is any offense, Xiao should correct it. ”

Seeing Xiao Yi bow down, the female cultivator's wrist flicked, and the short sword hummed and circled back into her hand.

"When did you put the ban? The nun bypassed Xiao Yat and walked straight to the chair and sat down slowly. Reached for the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and took a sip.

"Just now, when Xiao took the book, he took out the array disk by the way, and the control range was just in front of the door. However, this prohibition was originally only for mortals, and it would not be difficult for any monk to approach. As soon as you make contact, you will naturally understand that this is a non-offensive formation prohibition. I didn't even want to guard against you, so why bother to do it after you're close?"

The green-shirted nun looked at Xiao Yi with a suspicious expression, as if she was looking at a monster. She took out the golden spirit stone and asked strangely, "Are you very rich? You won't be moved when you see the spirit stone?"

"No, because getting it may not be a good thing, and it is easy to attract the covetousness of masters. If you hadn't made a move today, then this prince would have been killed a long time ago. If you don't believe me, now you can ask him, do you regret wearing this pendant? You ask him if he regrets having this pendant? I think his answer should be the same as the answer I gave you. It's not that good things have to be kept for themselves, at least until you have the ability, and you have to lose them at any time, or even more......"

Xiao Yi took a stool and placed it on the side of the bed, and sat down slowly, with an extra piece of animal skin in his hand at some point.

"Then when did you know that I had prepared a drug for you at the inn? You didn't touch the food and drinks I just brought you, what did I do to make you suspicious?"

The nun looked at Xiao Yat and realized that he didn't answer, just staring at herself tightly with the animal skin, or staring at the window behind her. The nun turned her head suspiciously and looked at the crowd on the street.

"What are you looking at?

The nun turned back suddenly, she didn't like the feeling of being seen as transparent. But Xiao Yat didn't answer her question, just got up and slowly walked to the window and pointed to the crowd on the street.

The nun looked out the window and noticed nothing unusual. Xiao Yi saw that she was struggling and had no clues, so he explained aloud: "You read the wrong point, I didn't stare at the crowd on the street, but at the trees." Xiao Yi gestured to the low trees in the courtyard not far away, and motioned for the nun to take a closer look.

The nun looked again, because the trees were close to the palace, so in order to avoid the suspicion of spying on the forbidden places of the imperial city, the growth of the trees was restricted. Although the trees are old, they are generally low, and occasionally a few have been pruned without the proper crown. These trees are densely foliageed, and the occasional bird stops or flies, giving them a unique life.

"The people on the street are no different from the ordinary residents. The wind and clouds are whirling in the sky, the ground is breezy and gentle, the branches and leaves in the courtyard are shaking, and the occasional bird is startling. But don't you think there's something missing?"

Xiao Yi sat down opposite the nun and turned his head to play with the animal skin in his hand. The nun turned her head and stared at Xiao Yi curiously, and asked suspiciously, "Is there a problem?"

"The problem is ......" Xiao Yi picked up a teacup, put it on the table and looked at the nun and said, "Please pour me a cup to drink first." ”

The female cultivator was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "I have been refining medicine since I was a child, I can drink this thing, and you can figure out how to drink it yourself." What I can drink, not what you can drink. As he spoke, he poured himself tea again, and drank it provocatively.

Xiao Yi took out the wine jug, took a big sip of it, and then said with a wry smile: "It's all said that it is so clear, why don't you understand?

"What's missing?"

The nun blurted out that she wanted to know what the problem was. Only by finding the problem can you improve.

"Since there is wind in the sky, wind on the ground, and birds in the trees, there are always a few leaves falling every once in a while, right? I watched in front of the window for a long time, and I didn't see a single leaf fall. If it weren't for the fact that the trees were so unusual, it was all a fantasy. ”

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, the illusion around him suddenly disappeared, and what he saw was a rooftop. The two of them were sitting on the roof at this time, and below them was the flow of people in the capital.

The nun was startled at first, and then found that the piece of animal skin in Xiao Yi's hand had turned into ashes, and the powder had fallen.

"Sure enough, it's a mirage, I said, how can I be so familiar? I usually only use its carapace, but this skin is rarely used. You're going to use this mirage to discover my vision?"

"It's not a discovery, it's a crack. Xiao Yat sat down next to the nun, looked around and asked, "Didn't they notice that you and I were on the roof?

"What's so strange? Even though you've broken the illusion, at least my isolation is still working. They can't see us, so they won't be intimidated by our presence. ”

The nun stared at Xiao Yi and asked curiously, "What else do you know?"

"Mirage can crack simple illusions, so your problem isn't complicated. Your problem is just a few fallen leaves. If you're setting up a fantasy next time, take all the factors into account. It is very embarrassing to be found in a fantasy world. I know it's all fake, and I still have to act with you, do you know how tired I am?"

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, and then put the flask to his mouth and took a sip.

"But ......"

Xiao Yi raised his hand to stop the female cultivator, raised his palm and asked aloud, "What do you think of this wood carving of mine?"

The female cultivator looked at the empty palm suspiciously, stared at Xiao Yi with a serious face, and suddenly shook his hand and opened his palm.

"Are you stupid for me? I'm the main one for the formation of the Danjutsu! You don't even have a shadow of illusion in your hand, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Yi smiled, very relieved.

"Even you know I have nothing in my hands. So what's the difference between you and me, who knows the illusion? If you set up the illusion to make people believe, then don't let the other person notice. ”

When the nun heard this, she was in a trance for a while, then slowly closed her eyes and began to meditate beside Xiao Yi.

She meditated until the moon was on the branches. With a long exhalation, a smile appeared in the corner of the nun's eyes, and she opened her eyes with satisfaction.

"Can you take into account the feelings of the people around you next time? You say you do this, do I leave you behind or stay with you? I'm not your friend, even if I'm not your enemy, we don't have that much trust. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yi kept complaining on the side, instead of explaining, the nun threw out a sentence: "You didn't leave, did you?"

Xiao Yi didn't bother to ask again, got up and was about to leave, but a voice came from behind him: "This way!"

Looking back, the nun had also gotten up and walked to the other side of the eaves.

After a long time, the two came to a quiet lake. There is a lot of people here during the day, and at this time, the night is shrouded, and there is no life except for the sound of insects and frogs.

"You know I'm going to follow you, so you don't look back all the way?"

"Is there a difference? You just want answers, just like me. If you don't get an answer, you're afraid you won't be able to sleep well for a few days. ”

The female cultivator sat down proudly on the grass by the lake, and said softly: "Accompany me on a trip, it is good for you to go, and the spirit stone exercises are indispensable to you." Don't worry, if I want to harm you, I will do it a long time ago. After all, you're in front of a foundation-building monk. As long as I want, there are no less than a hundred ways to take your life. ”

"Is it dangerous?" Xiao Yi blurted out, then smiled bitterly and continued: "I don't even need to ask, if it's not dangerous, why do you want me to accompany you?"

The nun plucked a wild flower and held it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.

"Because you won't hurt me, you're the best fit. As for why, I still won't explain. If you still want the answer, then change the question. I'm not interested in making up excuses, so I guess it would be more appealing to tell you later as a bonus. ”

Xiao Yi saw a smile appear in the nun's eyes, and believed that the corners of her mouth under the face towel were also curled.

"Well, I'll ask you a non-bothersome question. How do you see my cultivation? I don't feel the discomfort of your divine sense snooping on me. If this involves secret exercises, then you can not say it. ”

"It's not a hassle. The nun put the flower in the soil, clapped her hands and stood up, and said briskly: "Because you are a monk, if you look closely, you will find that the aura around you will be absorbed by you unnaturally." Unless you are saturated with aura, it is easy to spot this. Although ordinary people will also absorb some aura, they will also release some aura. Therefore, in the case of entering and leaving, the aura is not disturbed by people. As long as you need it, you can roughly guess the strength of a monk's spiritual power absorption. Of course, this is a very simple speculation, and it is not a secret technique at all. It doesn't hurt to tell you. But as an upfront, I can give this to you first. ”

The female cultivator patted the storage bag, took out a piece of jade slip and threw it to Xiao Yi.

"Something that almost everyone will know during the foundation building period, a loose cultivation like yours must be regarded as a treasure. Take it and see it, and you'll get better when you're done. ”

Xiao Yi took the jade slip and put it on his forehead and injected his divine sense into it. In an instant, he read all the information contained in it.

"Walking in the cultivation realm, you can have no intention of harming others, but you still have to grasp the depth of the other party. If the opponent is a similar opponent with killing intent, then you can still fight to the death, and if the opponent's cultivation is not something you can match, then once you find that you can run, run quickly. It's only alive that you have a chance, isn't it?"

The nun paced slowly along the edge of the lake, as if she had a lot on her mind.

Xiao Yi injected spiritual power into his pupils according to the description of the jade slip, and a pale blue light rose in his eyes, and he looked straight at the female cultivator.

"Why can't I see your cultivation? I can only see that you are a monk with spiritual power, but I can't see the strength of your cultivation. ”

"It's normal, because I'm much higher than you. What you can see is basically the realm of a monk in the Qi cultivation period. I can't see that Xiu is all respectful of your predecessors, otherwise the slightest carelessness will lead to death. ”

The nun saw that Xiao Yi had learned the things in the jade slip, so she walked towards the city without looking back.

"Your jade slip!" Xiao Yi beckoned to her with the jade slip, but did not let her stop.

"Something is left to you, today you help me break the mirror, and the formation attainment has been further improved, and it will be left to you. After all, a senior monk like me wouldn't mind this kind of thing. ”

Xiao Yi saw that the other party was getting farther and farther, so he hurriedly followed......

Three days later, on an unnamed island in the Beiji Sea.

Qing Xi, who was dressed in a green shirt, lowered his flying sword, and Xiao Yi jumped lightly to the ground.

"This flying sword is really good, it's much more convenient than the flying boat I use. Xiao Yi jumped on the ground and turned around and praised.

"Look at you, there's actually a flying boat!" Qin Xi put away his flying sword, dropped a sentence with a disdainful expression, and then walked towards the center of the island.

The woman in the green shirt called herself Qin Xi, and flew all the way from Yecheng with Xiao Yi three days ago. According to the speed, this time it is several times farther than Xiao Yi's previous distance, but she said that this place belongs to Beiji, and it is just an extremely far open sea.

"You are a foundation building monk, and it is normal to look down on my flying boat. You think mine is useless, rich monks and poor monks are really two worlds!" Xiao Yi muttered as he walked.

"I didn't say that your flying boat was bad, but I just wondered how you had a flying boat when you only stepped into the middle stage of Qi training? In my opinion, your family background is definitely not small, and it is different to have the full support of your family. Qin Xi took out two pills, put one in his mouth, and threw the other to Xiao Yi.

"There is a poisonous gas ahead, although it can't kill people, but it can make people lose their minds. If you don't have the elixir and go crazy, I can't guarantee that you will live. ”

Xiao Yi took the pill in his mouth, and suddenly felt a breath of mint cool and rushed straight to Parkway.

The two of them passed through a fog, and a dense forest appeared in front of them. After walking for half an hour, they came to a dilapidated ruin crawling with vines.

It is said that it is a ruin, but it is better to say that this is a dilapidated forest courtyard. If you look down from above, you may mistake it for a dilapidated rocky woodland.

"Be on guard, you may be in danger at any time when you enter the inside. This is a cave left over from an ancient cultivator, and I don't know how many years have passed. I found the pass token on this island in another cave house a few days ago, and I don't know if anyone has inspected it. But Gu Xiu has a lot of means, and if we are not careful, we may die here. ”

Xiao Yat nodded, and then lit a torch.

"Use this. ”

Qin Xi took out a round bead, which looked ordinary on the surface, and as soon as he stepped into the ruins stone gate, Xiao Yi noticed the extraordinaryness of this thing.

Inch-sized balls can illuminate the surrounding environment in this dark passage. Xiao Yi felt carefully, this bead did not emit any heat.

"This is the Moonstone, which I took from a monk's cave earlier. Although there are few monks selling it, it is not worth much, and it is estimated that it is only four or five medium-grade spirit stones. There is no peculiar smell in the room, and there is no need to change it regularly, so it is the most suitable for cultivation. Of course, if you cultivate to a higher level, then you will naturally be able to distinguish things at night. ”

Qin Xi explained while carefully observing the surrounding environment. Entering a large hall, the two of them came to a stone statue at the front.

The ground around was littered with dilapidated futons, and from time to time a few rats were scurrying around. It's just that within a kilometer of this stone statue, there is a pure land where rats hide.

"This should be it. ”

Qin Xi raised his hand and put a piece of black jade on the waist of the stone statue, and with a burst of light, a circular light gate appeared behind the stone statue.

"I'll help you find your way first, I'm afraid there will be danger. ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly stopped Qin Xi and looked at the sudden light gate uneasily.

"No, you're here to keep my guard on the fence. My cultivation is higher than yours, and if you go in, you will probably encounter dangers that you can't deal with. ”
