43. My apprentice grows up (8)
"Brother Xia, Mu doesn't know how to thank you for your kindness." Mu Jianchen arched his hand, the person in front of him was dressed in white, with an incomprehensible cultivation, he didn't know where the teacher was, and there was a gentle aura between his gestures, and when he walked together, people especially wanted to get close to one or two. He had no father since he was a child, and his mother died in a mission, leaving him alone to practice hard with his master in Tianxuan Palace. After all, Shizun is Shizun, and he treats him well in every way, but he is not a father after all. In his Tianxuan Palace, there are also senior brothers with the same background as him, which more or less makes him feel pity. But deep down, he still wanted to see his father, and he heard his mother say before his death that his father was also a cultivator, and he might still be alive somewhere in the world.
Xia Qian smiled lightly, and Yu Guang saw that he kept rubbing a certain item in his hand, looking at the shape, it was quite familiar, and he couldn't help asking, "This is?" ”
"Ah, it's just an inconspicuous ornament." The movement in Mu Jianchen's hand paused, Xia Qian didn't have time to take a closer look, he put the things into the storage space.
"That's it." Xia Qian responded lightly, seeing that the crowd on the lively main street in front of him was crowded and bustling, and most of the cultivators didn't know what they were looking at, he was curious for a moment and asked, "What's so lively in front?" ”
"Brother Xia doesn't know, seven days later, the treasure hunt will start not far from here, the treasure hunt conference that only comes once in a hundred years, and many cultivators who come here to participate, when the time comes, it is really crowded, and there is no place to stand."
"You're going too?" Xia Qian took the next sentence, even if he knew that he had participated in the previous life, this time there was no exception
"Yes." Mu Jianchen nodded solemnly, "Mu Mou's cultivation is still shallow, and he still needs to practice diligently, the secret realm of the treasure hunting conference is a good time, I heard from my predecessors, the time and space inside are passing rapidly, and it is separated from the outside world, which is extremely beneficial to cultivation." ”
What he said is true, but at the same time, there are many dangers inside, and if she is not careful, even her people will fall into it, but the person who cultivates the truth himself is doing things against the sky, either sitting on the spot or becoming a god. She couldn't persuade him.
It's just that
The time of seven days came soon, Si Qinghan took Lin Yao and many female cultivators of the Ethereal Pavilion to participate in the treasure hunt meeting, when he saw Xia Qian and Mu Jianchen standing side by side, he didn't react for a while, thinking that Xia Qian left halfway, and walked with Mu Jianchen on the back foot, what he said and did were inconsistent, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Lin Yao, let's go." Si Qinghan walked straight past the two of them, not even bothering to look at them, Lin Yao saw them standing not far away, wanting to talk to them, and saw that Si Qinghan was walking in front, so he quickly followed.
"What's wrong with him?" Mu Jianchen glanced sideways at Xia Qian.
"I don't know." Xia Qian responded lightly.
The so-called treasure hunt is actually a grand secret realm opening, every hundred years, a secret realm will be opened somewhere in the cultivation world, and the specific place and time are calculated by cultivators who are good at astronomy and astronomy. After the results are announced, many cultivators will enter the secret realm within the time it opens, competing for treasures. As for the treasures inside, some people say that there are countless of them, and there are even artifacts. The most amazing thing is that the time and space in the secret realm are distorted, the aura is abundant, and the speed of cultivation is hundreds of times different from the outside world. Many cultivators have entered for this point. The treasure hunt conference, which is rare in a hundred years, will be unprecedentedly prosperous, and the cultivation of the cultivators who come out of it will be greatly improved, and if they get the magic weapon of immortal qi or something, they will also be admired by future generations, and they will be a hundred times more vigorous.
The time for the secret realm to open is limited, it will definitely be closed within fifteen days, or even in advance, if the secret realm is closed, the people inside can only wait for the next time the secret realm is opened, at that time, the outside world is only a hundred years later, and the passage of time inside is far greater than this number. So far, it seems that no cultivator has been able to stay in it for that long.
The entrance to the secret realm is suspended in mid-air, and in order to enter, you must learn the sword art or other spells to fly up. Xia Qian is a wind spirit root, and controlling the wind is the low-level spell she is best at, and she can easily enter the secret realm.
From the moment he stepped into the secret realm, an aura that was hundreds of times richer than Penglai Immortal Mountain frantically poured into his body, and Xia Qian suddenly felt that his body was full of strength, and this secret realm was really different.
The interior of the secret realm is extremely vast, and when you look at it with your heart, you can't even see the deepest part of it, presumably there is a prohibition, if you want to go deeper, you need to go into it layer by layer, in that case, your cultivation will determine your location. There was a wide open space at the entrance of the secret realm, where cultivators with low cultivation stopped to cultivate, and further inside, there were fewer and fewer people.
The purpose of some cultivators is not to cultivate, but to seek the Dharma, and they will enter another space, which is a place full of danger at all times, and all kinds of demons and monsters are infested, but compared to the boring cultivation place, the aura here is more intense, and the speed of cultivation is not inferior to the outside.
It was here that Mu Jianchen and Xia Qian came.
Before going in, Xia Qian asked him why he wanted to go in?
Mu Jianchen's answer to her was, "I'm looking for a magic weapon called 'Moon Pot', it is said that the water of the Moon Pot can reflect and solve people's doubts." Xia Qian wanted to ask in detail, but Mu Jianchen was reluctant to answer.
At the same time, Si Qinghan and Lin Yao teamed up and entered the treasure hunting secret realm.
The two teams met around the corner, Lin Yao took the lead in saying hello, and Si Qinghan had no choice but to stop and be polite no matter how much he pretended not to see.
Several people exchanged pleasantries, and when Mu Jianchen mentioned the Zhenshan magic weapon that Xia Qian brought back to Tianxuan Palace, Si Qinghan's eyelids moved, and his face was a little embarrassed, it turned out that this was the case, and he had misunderstood it before. Lin Yao explained the intention, since the disciple rebelled, Miao Miao has suffered heavy losses, his vitality has been greatly damaged, and the morale of the sisters is a little low, if he can bring back a few superb immortal weapons to guard the Immortal Palace, he will definitely regain his confidence.
When Lin Yao said this, Si Qinghan on the side nodded in agreement. Xia Qian looked at the truth, what she didn't expect, she had just left, and the relationship between the two of them was progressing rapidly, could it be that they saw the truth in adversity, and they got better? Suddenly, Xia Qian had a feeling that my apprentice had just grown up, watching him grow up and have half of his own future, this subtle mood is difficult to describe. It won't be long before she will fly out of here, and it will be very gratifying to see Si Qinghan grow to such a state.
"Hehe-" Xia Qian couldn't help laughing, attracting everyone's sideways, and she immediately changed the subject, "Let's go elsewhere." ”
There is no day or night in the secret realm of treasure hunting, and above them is an endless starry sky, and a blood-red crescent moon hangs in the sky, which looks extremely ominous. It was surrounded by dense jungle, but I didn't hear any insect chirps, only the rustling sound of fallen leaves on the ground with my feet on the ground, and the atmosphere was a little weird and depressing.
Mu Jianchen originally wanted to summon a ball of fire to illuminate the front, but was stopped by Xia Qian, and there was a bright light in the place where he couldn't see his fingers, which was easier to attract the attention of beasts or other unknown creatures.
The group walked cautiously forward, "Click. I don't know what I stepped on, Xia Qian didn't have time to take a closer look, and he heard a scream for help from the front of the path, and then there was no follow-up.
They looked at each other, "Is this still going?" Xia Qian asked.
"It's too dangerous ahead, let's change places." Si Qinghan built a way, so a few people turned around and walked in a different direction.
Walking and walking, they encountered a lot of demon beasts, but the skill of the four people was enough to fight, but the frequency of demon beasts was too much, and they took turns to fight, their true qi couldn't withstand this toss, and they ran out of supplies, and then continued to fight after replenishment. Along the way, he was forced into a corner by an extremely ugly-looking monster, and he was about to be torn in half.
"Look, there's a stone door here! We can hide inside! Si Qinghan ran to the front, where a stone-made gate was standing, with ancient words engraved on it, and several murals attached to it.
Stone Gate!? Xia Qian was shocked when he heard these two words, "Don't touch it!" Before he finished speaking, Si Qinghan's hand touched the door handle on the stone door, and the monster following behind saw a faint red light flashing behind the door, and immediately ran away.
Si Qinghan, who didn't know why, looked at the running in front of him inexplicably, and was about to celebrate happily, but in a second, he was constantly sucked in by a strong attraction behind him, what happened? He held the handle of the door to stabilize his body, and when he looked back, there was a sea of fire behind the door, which kept tumbling, forming a huge whirlpool, constantly devouring the things outside.
"Don't let go!" Xia Qian shouted, summoned the white sword and stuck it on the ground to stabilize his figure. Fortunately, Lin Yao, who was far away from the door, was not affected, but Mu Jianchen and Si Qinghan stood too close, this familiar scene, she couldn't repeat it, and staged this heart-rending pain again, on the one hand, the original owner's guilty biological flesh and blood, and on the other hand, the apprentice who taught hard, no matter how much he lost there, the original owner's wish would not be completed.
What else can be done at present, the brain is running rapidly, analyzing the situation in front of him, Si Qinghan clenched the door Bing, Mu Jianchen held the sword in his hand tightly, whichever one let go, without exception, he would be involved. She is still a certain distance from the door, with the original owner's original memory, there is only one person who can be saved, but she can't!
In Xia Qian's painful choice, Si Qinghan found the white sword in his hand with sharp eyes, wasn't that his master's natal magic weapon? How could it be in his hands, a crazy thought flashed in his mind, it was difficult
As the minutes ticked by, the two of them were about to lose their support, and she had to make a decision as much as she could. Xia Qian was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and flashed behind Mu Jianchen, the powerful attraction almost sucked her in, and finally stabilized, and handed him the white sword in his hand, at this moment, Si Qinghan, who was closest to the door, let out a miserable scream, and stretched out his right hand to help: "Master, save me!" "People and voices were swept in with a strong wind.
"Nope! No! Like the kind of slow motion on TV, Xia Qian watched Si Qinghan's figure being engulfed by the flames in the sky, and the stone gate was slowly closing, she couldn't lose it, so she watched his tragic ending in the future.
