"The body of the orchid, the heart of the empty valley, the empty valley grows the orchid, the orchid is really like the fragrance of the orchid; the heart of the orchid, the body of the empty valley, the empty valley raises the orchid, then the valley is empty and the orchid is in the ......"

This is a sentence in the opening outline of the "Empty Valley Orchid Sutra", which talks about the two states of the Empty Valley Orchid Realm.

One is to treat the cultivator's body as a hidden orchid and the heart as an empty valley, and use the power of the heart to strengthen the physical body, and the other is the opposite, to use the heart as a hidden orchid, and use the body as an empty valley to nourish the power of the soul.

The former pursues its own strength, and Xia Shenpo's cultivation is the first one, so Xia Shenpo's attack and defense capabilities are extremely strong, which has a glorious record of Xia Shenpo's ability to resist the eight tribulations when she crossed the tribulation.

The reason why Xia Shenpo asked her to cultivate the second path of the "Empty Valley Youlan Sutra" is because when Xia Shenpo passed on the practice of Xia Cao, she already had a premonition that the road she cultivated would eventually be difficult to survive the thunder tribulation with her own strength.

So, Xia Shenpo passed on another method to Xia Cao, and she hoped that one day even if Xia Cao was wiped out under the thunder, her soul would be immortal and enter the next reincarnation.

Xia Shenpo herself didn't know if her wish could be realized, because the "Empty Valley Youlan Sutra" was created by herself, and she hadn't walked the second road herself.

Therefore, letting Xia Cao cultivate the second path is just a wish of Xia Shenpo, she knows that with Xia Cao's heart, if she cultivates the same method with her, the final result will definitely be inferior to her, so instead of letting Xia Cao cultivate a certain death, she decided to let Xia Cao try another way.

"Gu Kong Youlan is here" refers to the fact that after the death of the body, the spirit and soul are still there.

Xia Cao is indeed dead!

But the Empty Valley Orchid Realm she cultivated is mysterious, when she died, her Empty Valley Orchid Realm was still intact, according to Xia Shenpo's original calculation, when Xia Cao's Empty Valley Orchid Realm was cultivated to the last layer, even if her body was destroyed under the thunderstorm, Xia Cao's soul could still be preserved, and she might be reincarnated, or she could feed herself with the power of her soul, and resurrect the original body in the state of dead wood and spring.

But Xia Cao's cultivation is still a long way from the completion of the Empty Valley Youlan Realm, and her death at this time is obviously unexpected by Xia Shenpo.

Therefore, even if Xia Shenpo is still in the world, it is estimated that Xia Shenpo cannot be sure whether Xia Cao can be reincarnated or resurrected in the current situation.

What is going on with Natsukusa now, is she really dead?

Yang Qi stood in the basement of Sun Huai's father's villa in the capital, looking around, and couldn't find any trace of Xia Cao.

"Evil Boy, can you sense where Natsukusa is?"

Yang Qi asked the evil boy in his heart softly, looking like he was talking to himself.

The evil boy who was originally meditating in the mud pill palace with his eyebrows closed his eyes heard this, opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly for a moment, shook his head slightly, and sent a message to Yang Qi - no!

The evil boy couldn't sense it, Yang Qi was silent, and stood there silently for a while, Yang Qi sighed lightly, bent down to collect Xia Cao's clothes, shoes and socks, and finally took a look at the basement, and then turned to leave.

His cultivation is extraordinary, and there are many magic spells that seem to ordinary people, but he is not a god after all, and in the face of the current situation, he can't find Xia Cao.

didn't see Xia Cao's corpse, but left him with a little hope, hoping that the result of his calculation was wrong, and hoped that Xia Cao was still alive, although Yang Qi himself knew that the possibility of such a situation was extremely small.

After leaving Sun Huai's father's villa, Yang Qi didn't go to the trouble of the Tan family, the Tan family killed a Xia Cao, he had already killed the three outstanding children of the Tan family, Sun Huai's father also died, Yang Qi's depression in his heart had been vented, he had no intention of engaging in the inhumane things of the whole clan, and he was not in the mood to do this.

That night, Yang Qi booked tomorrow's ticket with his mobile phone in the hotel, the ticket back to Hengdian, since he couldn't find Xia Cao's whereabouts, Yang Qi could only go back, he planned to go back, in the depths of the snake garden, to Xia Cao set up a formal mound, Xia Cao said that she liked the snake garden very much, and also said that when she didn't want to go outside one day, she might go back there for a long time.

In that case, let her mound remain there forever!

……

Where did Natsukusa's body go?

Why can't even Yang Qi and the evil boy sense it?

Hollow Valley Orchid!

Xia Cao has been dead for three days, but her Empty Valley Orchid Realm still exists, the Empty Valley Orchid Realm does not exist in a place that can be seen by the human eye, if the world in which humans live is compared to a vast and boundless ocean, then the place where the Empty Valley Orchid Realm exists should be compared to a small bubble in that vast ocean.

Probably not very accurate, because this little bubble is invisible to the naked eye.

With Yang Qi's cultivation and the evil boy's supernatural spirits, he couldn't sense the existence of Xia Cao's Empty Valley Orchid Realm.

But it's real.

There are mountains here, and there is a beautiful valley in the middle of the mountains, with high mountains and flowing waters, cold pools and waterfalls, and a purple bamboo forest swaying in the wind, and an elegant bamboo house next to the purple bamboo forest, and a pot of orchids on the windowsill of the bamboo house.

This pot of orchids, which used to grow very well, has now withered and languished.

But it's still alive, it's not dead! Because among its wilting leaves, there is already a little green leaf, which means that it is still alive.

Behind the bamboo house, there are two new graves.

A new tomb on the left belongs to Xia Shenpo, and the other is Xia Cao's.

Xia Cao is indeed dead! To be exact, her physical body in this life has died, but as a cultivator, the death of her physical body may not be real death, just like the faint figure of her standing in front of her grave at this time.

Her figure at this time was really faint, like a phantus, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, this was her soul!

Looking at her own grave, this feeling has probably not been experienced by few people since ancient times, Xia Cao now realizes it, her eyes are a little empty, with a faint helpless smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "He's here...... Gone again......"

……

Two days passed in a flash, and two days later, Lei Tingting, who had lost all the news of Sun Huai's father and couldn't get through on the phone, returned to the villa with a big belly, and the maids and cooks who had been granted vacation by Sun Huai's father also returned.

In the basement of the villa, in Xia Cao's empty valley orchid realm, Xia Cao's soul eyes followed Lei Tingting's movements, Xia Cao's eyes were thoughtful, and the focus of her gaze gradually moved to Lei Tingting's big belly, and she didn't look away for a long time.
