"That's right, as long as these guide points are used as screening criteria, the people of this layout can slowly find people who meet the requirements. ”

The old man said, "The uniqueness you are talking about is the result of screening.

For example, you can enter the Abyss Water Vein because you are extremely sensitive to spiritual power and have ghost eyes, which can lead you to find the entrance with the spirit of the spirit.

The mechanism at the entrance seems simple, but I think it should be difficult for ordinary people to crack it, otherwise after so many years, why wouldn't others have discovered the existence of Hongyuan Island?"

Bai Xiu thought about it carefully, and it was really the truth.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Speaking of which, it is not by chance that you can extinguish the spiritual lamp and open the gate of Tianshui. ”

Bai Xiu understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but say, "Old man, please tell me in detail." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I also mentioned the spiritual ritual to you just now, although we are nominally preparing for the harvest of the jade, but secretly we are cultivating the Dharma performed by the Venerable.

And before that, we must first open the gate of Tianshui.

It is the realm symbol of the Dharma that His Holiness has cast, not something that really exists, and if we want to remove it temporarily, we can only use the jade ques he left behind to light the spiritual lamps according to the method left by His Holiness.

If my guess is correct, you had one of those jade ques on you at the time, right?"

"Could it be the Ming Greedy Wolf Jade Que?" Hearing this, Bai Xiu naturally understood the key and thought, "So, if I didn't wear the Ming Greedy Wolf Jade Que, I wouldn't have a chance to come here?"

"That's right. The old man stroked his beard in contemplation, and then said, "But from another point of view, it does seem like it was designed specifically for you.

Not only does this person know you very well, but he also knows your whereabouts. ”

A name flashed in Bai Xiu's heart - the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Without a doubt, her suspicion is the greatest.

Bai Xiu secretly thought that from the time she found him, along the way, he seemed to have the initiative, but in fact, the development of things was far from his original plan.

Was it an accident that he cleverly tricked Ming Chu into the cave?

No, because he had discovered other people's spiritual power fluctuations at the entrance of the cave before, so he wanted to find out with the hand of Ming Zhichu.

And is the latter just a coincidence?

Could it be that Bai Yan didn't speculate wrongly, Ming Yu was Fang Xin's aunt at the beginning, and it was she who ambushed him in Xianyoujian at that time?

He would deny this inference because of Ming Zhichu's various performances during this period, but which of her many behaviors were true, and which ones were deliberately performed for him?

The more Bai Xiu thought about it, the more suspicious she felt.

He had learned the Imperial Spirit Soul from Ming Xue Chu, and she really reluctantly agreed?

Or was she deliberately guiding him to learn this technique in order to find Hongyuan Island?

In the same way, in the ancient city of Hongyuan, Ming Yuchu rushed over as soon as she saw the light, was she really just bewitched by the illusion in the city?

Is it possible that she pretended to open the gate of Tianshui in order to lead him to the Feeding Spirit Lake?

Of course, he is also skeptical about the above speculation.

After all, if the person who laid out the layout was really Ming Zhichu, she must have a good understanding of Hongyuan Island and even the Hongyuan clan, so where did she know this information?

Is her identity really just the young island master of Mingyue Island?

Furthermore, what was her purpose in doing so?

Thinking about it, Bai Xiu only felt a splitting headache.

He rubbed his eyebrows and found that the situation was not improving, but was intensifying.

He realized that something was wrong, and the old man didn't seem to have spoken for a long time.

"Old gentleman?" Bai Xiu struggled to his feet, but his eyes grew darker and darker, and finally returned to a boundless nothingness.

"Brother Bai Xiu, I'm sorry ......"

Time seemed to go back to the first time he was unconscious, the girl's voice whispering softly in his ear, but he could never hear her.

"Bai Xiu ......"

A voice he was familiar with went from clear to indistinct, and from indistinct to distinct.

He had the illusion that he was in a dream.

And those fragments that flashed quickly in his mind gradually turned into disorganized fragments of memory.

"Since you have decided to sit idly by, don't be soft-hearted, otherwise you will suffer in the end. Another voice said.

Bai Xiu finally broke free from his chaotic thoughts and opened his eyes with all his might.

"You're finally awake!"

He was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw Ming Yuchu sitting with red eyes.

He remembered his previous speculation, and naturally became wary.

Bai Xiu sat up quietly and asked, "What's wrong with me? You were calling me just now?"

"Yes. Ming Yuchu helped him wipe the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, nodded and said, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to wake you up...... Are you having some nightmares?"

Bai Xiu felt strange, didn't he leave his soul?

But listening to Ming Yuchu's tone, he seemed to have just fainted, and he didn't have the previous phenomenon of fake death?

Seeing that he was unconscious, Ming Yuchu thought that he was thinking about the previous events, so he explained: "Because of the ghost eye, you are more susceptible to the residual spiritual resonance of the undead than others.

You were stunned by the spirits that gathered at the bottom of the lake, and those spirits still hold some memories of your master, which is why you have nightmares.

This is still a radiant area of spiritual resentment, and their influence on you is weakened but not negligible, so let's get out of this hellish place quickly. ”

Bai Xiu came back to his senses for a while and asked, "Master Ming Shao, what are the undead at the bottom of the lake you are talking about?"

Ming Yuchu seemed to hesitate a little, but finally replied: "After you fainted, the bottom of the lake collapsed a lot, and there were some ...... Something came to light.

In fact, under that layer of jade fragments, a large number of bones were buried, and there were magic circles around them, so that the souls of these deceased could not return to Huangquan Biluo. ”

What Ming Yuchu said later, Bai Xiu had no intention of listening, and at this moment, he only had one question in his heart.

Was everything that happened in that ancient city something he had personally experienced, or was it a dream under the influence of the remnants of the undead's memories?

Seeing him staggering to his feet, Ming Yuchu hurriedly supported him.

She frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

Bai Xiu barely stabilized his body and said in a low voice, "I want to go over there and have a look." ”

He turned his head, and through the window, he could see the lake in the distance, where there was a faint green light, and their source may be the white bones.

"I can't stop you from going. Ming Zhichu said coldly, "But in the current situation, you can't bear the spiritual resentment at the bottom of the lake. If you continue unconscious, I'm not sure I'll get you out of here.

What's more, you and I are aiming for the Fragment of the Death Ding, everything here is just a small episode for us, we should find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"But ......"

Bai Xiu only said two words and paused.

He couldn't fully believe in Ming Zhichu, and he couldn't be sure that his previous experience must be a dream, so naturally he couldn't tell the story of Hongyuan Island.

He chose to compromise and nodded, "Okay, everything is subject to the arrangement of the island master of Ming Shao." ”

Ming Yuchu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to comfort him a few words, but at this moment, there was a sudden shock under their feet.

"What's going on?!"

The two looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and before they could come to their senses, the whole house shook violently.

Suddenly, Ming Yuchu pointed out the window, and said in a trembling voice, "Oh my God, that's ......"

Bai Xiu hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed, and was stunned in place at a glance.

A monstrous wave surged out from the Feeding Spirit Lake, it was like a silver dragon sweeping towards this side at a speed visible to the naked eye, and where it passed, the incomparably solid stone building also instantly disappeared!

The next moment, a huge roar suddenly poured into the ears of the two of them.

"Let's go!" Ming Yuchu was the first to react, pulled Bai Xiu, and rushed downstairs.

Bai Xiu finally came back to her senses, and when she saw that she was hesitating at the intersection, he pulled her and ran towards the platform outside the city.

"Let's hide in those chains!" he could shout before the two of them rushed into the white mist.

At this point, they couldn't think much at all, and they just rushed towards the edge of the abyss with all their might.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Xiu found that the situation was not quite right.

This stretch of road seems to be a bit outrageous, completely exceeding the distance between the two.

Bai Xiu thought that he and Ming Yuchu had lost their way, and was about to stop to correct the direction, not wanting to light up without warning, they actually passed through the fog array directly.

"This is ......" Looking at the scene in front of him, Ming Yuchu muttered.

A stone gate stood quietly not far away, and below the stone gate was a rushing river, which rushed through the mouth of the stone cave and plunged into the abyss.

The two of them turned around with a sharp heart, and sure enough, they saw the familiar sea of fog.

"We're back?"

Ming Zhi stayed for a long time, but he was still a little frightened.

Gradually, the clouds and mist in the abyss rolled violently, and then there was a loud noise from the location of Hongyuan Island, not to mention them, and even the entire Stone Valley trembled.

"The floods have washed away the whole city, and even the island is going to fall......" Ming Xue Chu listened intently and came to this conclusion.

She turned her head to look at Bai Xiu, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, thanks to God's favor, we found our way out by mistake...... Just now I thought we were going to die there. ”

Did they really stumble into each other?

Thinking of those voices in the dream, Bai Xiu slowly closed her eyes.

Countless questions lingered in his heart:

What he experienced on Hongyuan Island 2,000 years ago was really a dream?

If it is true, then what happened to the Hongyuan clan later?

How did he get back to where he is now?

Did the Bai family who had stubbornly defended Hongyuan Island also leave here with the relocation faction?

What about Bai Yu'er?

"Are you okay?" Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Ming Yuchu couldn't help but call.

Bai Xiu opened his eyes, smiled with relief, turned around and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave here first." ”

Ming Yuchu nodded, she looked around for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "There shouldn't be any changes this time, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Bai Xiu answered, and couldn't help but look back at the vast sea of fog.

It was as ethereal as ever, but all the puzzles, all the secrets, had vanished in that moment.
