When he woke up again, Bai Xiu found himself lying on a stone bed.

He sat up slowly, glanced at the layout in the room, and instantly thought that he had returned to the Heavenly City in the Land of Listening to Souls, and returned to the time when Fang Xin saved him.

There were no windows in this room, and there was a stone platform at the head of the bed, on which a bronze lamp was burned, which closely resembled the shape of the soul listening lamp.

Bai Xiu leaned over and sniffed it, and sure enough, it contained ever-bright lamp oil.

He looked at the lamp for a long time, and then remembered what had happened.

It seems that he did not leave the mysterious ancient city in the stone valley, and it is estimated that after he fainted at the bottom of the lake, Ming Zhichu brought him here.

Bai Xiu pondered, and was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He couldn't help but look down, they had also checked before, this ancient city had not been inhabited for thousands of years, and the utensils in the house were basically decayed and dilapidated, where did this new quilt come from?

What's more-

Bai Xiu stretched out his hand and touched the stone platform, and sure enough, there was no dust between his fingers.

He didn't think that Ming Zhichu still had the leisure to clean the room carefully after he fell unconscious.

Isn't this the same ancient city that used to be?

Doubts arose in his heart, and after thinking about it, he got up and walked out of the room.

But before he could reach the door, the door creaked open a crack, and a little girl poked inside.

Seeing that he was awake, she was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Big brother, are you awake?"

Bai Xiu looked at it through the faint light, and the person who came was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with long hair hanging down softly behind him, and a pair of big and bright eyes, which looked very smart and cute.

The surprise in his heart was no less than that of this little girl, but when he finally held his breath, he stopped and nodded.

He asked quietly, "Little sister, what is your name, and what is this place?"

The little girl pushed open the door and walked over to him, looking at him curiously.

Hearing his question, she replied crisply: "This is Hongyuan Island, my name is Bai Yu'er, and the eldest brother can call me Yu'er." By the way, big brother, what's your name?"

Surname Bai?

Bai Xiu had a vague conjecture in his heart.

Seeing her looking at him innocently, his expression involuntarily softened a little, and said gently: "My surname is also Bai, and my name is Bai Xiu." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Bai Xiu!" Bai Yu'er smiled brightly, tilted her head, and thought, "Brother Bai Xiu is also surnamed Bai, no wonder grandpa said that you have a deep relationship with Hongyuan Island, and coming here can be regarded as a kind of fate." ”

"Was it his old man who saved me?" Bai Xiu said tentatively.

"Well, after the spiritual ritual ended yesterday, grandpa found the unconscious brother Bai Xiu on the shore of the Lingling Lake, so he asked Daddy to take you home. Bai Yu'er nodded.

Immediately, she pursed her lips and snorted lightly: "Bai Zaiyuan, that guy said that Hongyuan Island never allows outsiders to enter, and wants to send you out, I think he clearly doesn't want to listen to grandpa, and deliberately disobeys him......"

Bai Zaiyuan!

Bai Xiu really didn't expect that he actually heard this name from this little girl's mouth.

You must know that this Bai Zaiyuan is one of the ancestors of the Bai family who founded the six sects in the legend, and there are even rumors in the clan that the heart of Hongmeng and even the spiritual vein of Hongmeng are his handiwork.

Where the Six Sects and Hongmengli Town came from has never been decided, and this issue is also a matter of opinion in the Bai family.

However, there are two most likely theories.

One is that after Bai Xingyi ascended, he opened the door and set up a sect, accepted many disciples, and gathered these disciples and some of his clansmen together, creating six sects;

The other is that the Six Sects gradually evolved from a certain clan, and its founder should be Bai Zaiyuan, and the image of Bai Xingyi is just a deification of Bai Zaiyuan.

Today, the second argument is becoming more and more accepted by the Bai family.

After all, the legend of the White Star Shift has passed for a long time, so long that there is no trace of whether this person really existed.

And the name Bai Zaiyuan is really written into the "Old Book of the Bai Family......

After a while, Bai Xiu barely came back to his senses.

Listening to this little girl's tone, could it be that he actually returned to the time when the six sects of the Bai family had not yet been founded, and the Bai family was still living in the mysterious ancient city in the mysterious stone valley at this time?

"I won't dream again...... Bai Xiu thought in a trance, and it wasn't until Bai Yu'er called him several times that he completely woke up.

Seeing that his expression had changed, she blinked and said with concern, "Brother Baixiu, are you uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine. Bai Xiu smiled with relief.

However, after her reminder, he found that the previous injuries had healed, and even the stinging pain in the spiritual veins had disappeared.

Was he really dreaming, or was his soul out of his body?

But if it was a dream, why was he so awake, and he didn't have the sense of nothingness in the dream at all?

If his soul is out of his body, how can this little girl see him, and how can he be rescued by the people here?

Bai Xiu shook her head secretly, and she had no clue for a while.

"By the way, Brother Bai Xiu, grandpa said that if you wake up, let me take you to see him, let's go now. Bai Yu'er took his hand and said.

Bai Xiuzheng had this intention, so he went out of the room with the little girl.

Outside this room is a long hallway that connects several other rooms.

At the end of the hallway is a stone staircase, from which you can see the downstairs, which is supposed to be a hall for guests.

The two went downstairs one after the other.

As soon as Bai Xiu turned his gaze, he saw an elderly man standing in the deepest part of the living room with his back to them, as if he was offering incense.

Bai Xiu glanced around without a trace.

The living room is simply furnished, with only two rows of lamps and stone chairs.

The floor between the stone chairs is inlaid with jade fragments, which seem to be arranged in a certain order, forming a strange pattern.

In front of the old man lay a stone case, and several stone carvings were carved on the wall against which the stone case rested.

Bai Xiu recognized that it was the Six Spirit Totem.

In the center of the Liuling stone carving, there is a portrait of a very young person, a picture of a fairy wind bone.

There is an inscription and a inscription on the left side of the portrait, and Bai Xiu can't see it clearly, only vaguely distinguishing the word "Venerable".

The old man seemed to feel something, and before Bai Xiu could speak, he had already turned around with a smile on his face.

He pointed to the stone chair and said with a kind expression: "Young man, the old man knows that you must have a lot to ask me, so we might as well sit down and have a good chat." ”

"Yes, yes...... Brother Bai Xiu, you sit first!"

Bai Yu'er nodded again and again, led Bai Xiu to sit on the side, and helped the old man to the main seat, and then found a place to sit down.

She propped her small chin in her hands, blinked her round eyes, and her gaze shifted from the two of them, clearly ready to listen to the story.

The old man stroked his beard and looked at Bai Xiu for a while, and suddenly said, "The soul is self-contained, and it is no different from ordinary people, it is really incredible. ”

Bai Xiu was stunned, could it be that he was really in a state of soul now?

"Grandpa, are you saying that Brother Bai Xiu is not a human, but a ghost clan?"

Bai Yu'er's eyes widened, and she looked at Bai Xiu in great surprise, and at the same time expressed the doubts in his heart.

"No, no, no, this young man is different from the ghost clan, but he is somewhat similar to Lingming's 'sacrificing himself to become a spirit', that's why I'm so surprised old man. You must know that only the cultivator Yuan Ling Dacheng can do this step. ”

The old man shook his head and said to Bai Xiu again, "And young man, you are obviously not in this case. ”

Bai Xiu did not hide it, and told all the inferences about the out-of-body that he had said before.

The old man groaned for a while, and suddenly said: "I see, I can't imagine that there is such a mysterious secret method in this world." Alas, it seems that we have been living here for too long, and we have ended up with such a closed eye......"

Bai Yu'er pursed her lips and said angrily: "Grandpa, you don't have to care about Bai Zaiyuan's bastard words, we are also following the ancestral teachings in Hongyuan Island, and we are happy to be at ease, how good......"

"Grandpa knows, it's just a random sigh. The old man smiled kindly when he heard this, but when he looked at his granddaughter, he deliberately prevented her from continuing.

Bai Xiu's mind was clear, even if he was a little curious, he still didn't ask any questions.

He asked another question: "Old man, the last time I left my soul, I couldn't be seen or heard, but this time I am no different from ordinary people, do you know the reason for this?"

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head with some regret.

He said: "This is the first time I have seen this situation, old man, and I really can't help it. But if you really want to analyze one or two, I guess it may have something to do with the breath on your body. ”

"Breath?" Bai Xiu muttered.

The old man nodded in response, "That's right, as early as when I rescued you, I found that the aura on your body is very similar to ours.

I just heard Yu'er call your name again, and I know that your surname is also Bai, it seems that even if you are not our clan, I am afraid that you have a deep relationship with our Hongyuan clan.

In other words, there is a good chance that you, like us, are also affected by Hongyuan Island. ”

Bai Xiu understood a little.

He said in a deep voice: "What the old gentleman means is that my soul will come here and be no different from ordinary people, it is very likely that it is because I resonate with the spiritual field of Hongyuan Island, and the strength of the spiritual field is different, and its performance is naturally different. ”

He couldn't help but think, no wonder he would return to Hongmeng Town after leaving his soul before, it seemed to be the same principle.

Although he still didn't know what to say in this, he could finally figure out a little pattern, so he didn't have to guess.

The old man frowned when he heard this.

Bai Xiu felt strange, and then Bai Yu'er stuck out her tongue and said, "So, Brother Bai Xiu, you really don't know how you came here?"

The old man looked at him too.

Bai Xiu had an intuition that this old man's reaction must be related to what he had just said, but he couldn't think of the connection, so he simply nodded honestly.

At this time, Bai Yu'er's grandfather's expression became even more solemn, and he muttered, "This is troublesome...... Young man, can you tell me more about how you came here?"

Bai Xiu hesitated slightly.

He was now almost certain that he had most likely returned to the time when the ancient city was still abandoned—yes, unlike the previous one, he had traveled not only through space, but also through time.

Even if he told the truth, would they believe it?
