At the end of the first battle, although the people of the Empty Cicada Sect were slightly injured, it was not important, and most of them were injured by their own people, and the people of the Tiangang Alliance quickly came to carry away the injured disciples of the Eastern Gate, and the war was over.

After the competition, the team will leave the venue first and go to the rear to heal the wound, although it is a little regrettable that she can't see the competition behind, but Su Xian still pulled Xiao Chu to the back of the venue, but before leaving, she suddenly felt a strange aura, she was slightly stunned, and turned to look at the other side of the venue.

On that side, the disciples of Qianyuanfeng and Tianwuguan who were participating in the next competition were entering the arena, and the strange aura that Su Xian felt came from there.

The five people dressed in the Qianyuan Peak disciple clothes lowered their heads and stood in the center of the field with blank expressions, and the moment Su Xian saw them, he couldn't help but change his expression suddenly.

The people who also felt this breath turned back and Feng Yaochu, after he saw the appearance of those people, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Those five people are ......"

"It's them." Su Xian responded to her in a low voice, she was looking at the five disciples of Qianyuan Peak, or her gaze was not on those five people, but on the ball of light beside them.

Those five people were not living people at all, but five puppets that were refined by the evil hand Wan Sheng in the Butterfly Valley.

Why they appeared here, and why they entered as disciples of Qianyuan Peak, it was still unknown, but Su Xian knew that on the way to the victory of the Xuantian Trial this time, there was another trouble.

The five of them are all puppets refined from living people, Su Xian has been with Xiao Chu for many years, and he knows the puppet no better. They look like ordinary people, as long as someone manipulates them, they can appear exactly like ordinary people, even if she tells the matter, others may not believe her, but she startles people to arouse suspicion.

After weighing it, Su Xian stopped Feng Yaochu beside him and shook his head slightly.

Feng Yaochu's mind was quick, and he naturally guessed what Su Xian meant, he silently glanced at those people again, and finally turned around and went to the back of the venue with the others.

In this battle, Su Xian protected Xiao Chu very well, and neither of them was injured, but the other people were different, Feng Yaochu's body was the spell mark left by Wen Si, and Xiao Lan's body was the sword mouth scratched by the white phoenix candle, and the white phoenix candle was scratched by Feng Yaochu. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one says anything.

Wen Si saw that everyone was deliberately concealing, so he didn't continue to ask, but chuckled and said, "It's good to win, but the next competition will depend on yourself." ”

The atmosphere between the five of them, which was originally better, sank again because of this problem.

Everyone stayed in the rest room specially arranged for the disciples of the Empty Cicada Sect for a while, and after taking care of all the injuries on their bodies, Mu Shuliang finally came in.

"Xiao Mu!" Bai Huang Candle greeted him first and asked, "How was the competition?" ”

Mu Shuliang looked a little hurried, he smiled at Bai Huang Candle, and continued: "The competition is over, I came to talk to you about this." ”

Hearing this, everyone also stood up, Mu Shuliang hurriedly asked everyone to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table without hurrying, took it up and said with a small sip: "Today's five groups of competitions, the winners are the Xuanyang faction, Qianyuanfeng, Nanmen, Wuhua faction and our empty cicada faction. ”

"Qianyuan Feng won?" Hearing this, Feng Yaochu couldn't help but ask.

Mu Shuliang heard his tone be different, and quickly said, "You found a problem?" ”

Feng Yaochu nodded, but looked towards Su Xian.

Su Xian said according to his meaning: "The five people of Qianyuan Peak are puppets like Xiao Chu. ”

Su Xian knew that Mu Shuliang's cultivation was also the way of the heart, since he could see the soul on Xiao Chu's body, he could naturally also see the soul on the five people in Qianyuan Peak, and sure enough, Mu Shuliang said: "At this time, I can't make a noise for the time being, I will go to the leader of the Tiangang Alliance to ask about this matter, and you will compete as usual first." ”

Except for Feng Yaochu and Su Xian, the others didn't know about the five people of Qianyuanfeng, and when they heard Mu Shuliang say this, they couldn't help but change their faces slightly. But Mu Shuliang didn't let him say more, they all fell silent, Mu Shuliang chuckled when he saw this, and gently rubbed Bai Huang Candle's head, and then continued: "The arrangement for the second competition has also come out, don't you want to hear it?" ”

Everyone naturally wanted to hear it, and their eyes fell on Mu Shuliang's body, and Mu Shuliang smiled: "You have to rely on your own strength in the second competition, but in my opinion, it would be better if you walked in a company with others." Seeing that everyone's expressions were puzzled, he continued, "The second competition is held in the Hongmeng Array, and the leader of the Tiangang Alliance will personally open the magic array and send you to different locations in the array. ”

"There are many mechanism formations in this formation, as well as the four demon beasts that the Tiangang Alliance's vision has prepared." Mu Shuliang then explained, "The one who defeats the demon beast first, gets the demon beast inner pill and walks out of the Hongmeng Array is the winner." ”

Hearing this, everyone also understood, and Su Xian said: "There are a total of four demon beasts, so there are only four winners?" ”

"Yes, the person who gets Nedan to leave the Hongmeng Formation can enter the final battle." Mu Shuliang continued, "But this demon beast is very strong, if you only test the strength of one person, I'm afraid you can't win, that's why I said let you go together, there are no rules for this competition, each of you will take a chapter of dust talisman into it, and no one will see what happened in the formation, you can choose to join forces with people to fight against the demon beast, or you can choose to defeat the other party first, and after getting the demon beast Neidan, as long as you haven't walked out of the exit of the Hongmeng Array, the Neidan in your hand is in danger of being taken away." ”

Hearing this, Su Xian couldn't help but secretly sigh that the person who proposed this competition was really thoughtful, in this way, the entire Hongmeng Array was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and there were too many situations for them to guard against and worry about.

No one knows who they will meet along the way, and they don't know who they will fight against, this kind of unknown is the most terrifying, and in order to achieve victory, no one can trust anyone lightly.

"Okay, you're tired from today's battle, so go back and rest early." Mu Shuliang smiled again, he didn't say a word about the white mist in today's battle, as well as what happened in the fog, as if he already knew it, "The second stop is in two days, you can have a good rest in these two days, take advantage of this time to cultivate well, if there is any problem in cultivation, I can help, just come and ask me." ”

Everyone was still thinking about the second stop in their hearts, and they didn't respond to Mu Shuliang's words seriously, Mu Shuliang left after saying this, and the rest of the empty cicada sent a few people to be silent for a while, and they all dispersed.

For the next two days, Su Xian didn't go anywhere else, but stayed in the house and played the flute for two days.

By the afternoon of the next day, Yaolan, who lived next door, finally couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on Su Xian's door and walked in.

Su Xian was still fiddling with the flute, Xiao Chu was sitting next to her, and the small ball of light circled around Su Xian happily.

Yaolan glanced at Xiao Chu, then looked at Su Xian and said, "You're not worried about tomorrow's competition?" ”

"Of course I'm worried." Su Xian was telling the truth, but Xiao Lan couldn't find a look similar to worry on her face.

Xiaolan sat down across from her, "Do you still have the leisure to play the flute?" ”

"I'm cultivating." Su Xian said as a matter of course.

Yao Lan looked at her strangely.

Su Xian didn't hide it from Yaolan: "Master gave me a set of tips for cultivating the heart path before, and I have been practicing it for a while, but after practicing all the way, it has no effect at all. ”

"Why?" Yao Lan was puzzled.

"At first I didn't know why." Su Xian explained, "But a few days ago, when we were playing the flute, I was urging the technique to play the flute, but it felt a little different from usual, and I wondered if it would be possible to find that the music should be supplemented by the rhythm to work." That's why she played the flute in the house for two days.

If it is absolutely impossible not to worry about this competition, whether it is a few disciples of the Xuanyang Sect or the five puppets of Qianyuan Peak, they are not simple opponents, Su Xian is bound to win the Soul Trace Bead, and he feels that he is not allowed to make any mistakes in the Hongmeng Array. In the past two days, she has hardly stopped cultivating, but this cultivation has not yielded any results.

Su Xian originally thought that the combination of flute sound and that method would be effective, but after two days, it was still fruitless, which made Su Xian wonder again if his method was wrong.

Xiaolan looked at Su Xian frowning and thinking, and couldn't help but persuade: "Don't be too desperate, let's go outside for a walk." ”

"No, I'm going to try it tomorrow, I'll try again here." Su Xian shook his head, looked at the small ball of light that was swaying in his hand, and laughed again, "And Xiao Chu likes to listen to me play the flute." ”

Yaolan originally planned to let Su Xian go out for a walk, but seeing that she insisted on staying in the house, she didn't insist on it anymore, and left after saying a few more words.

After Yaolan left, Su Xian raised his cheeks to look at the ball of light, stretched out a finger to make the appearance of poking it, and provoked the small ball of light to dodge constantly. Su Xian was not in a hurry to play the flute again, only put Qi Huang Xiao on the table, and whispered to the light ball: "Can you really speak?" “

The small ball of light floated around, and Su Xian couldn't catch it, so he simply put down his hand and lowered his eyes: "How can I hear you?" ”

Seeing that Su Xian was no longer playing with him, the ball of light shook twice, but it floated to Su Xian's hand by himself.

Su Xian's eyes were soft, and he couldn't help but smile again.

After laughing, she was stunned again.

This ball of light is Xiao Chu's remnant soul, if they have a sound, it is the sound of the soul, and she was born as a human being, and she naturally has a soul on her body, why can't she hear that sound?

Or was it the instinct of ** that changed the sound to what she heard now, so she got used to the sounds in her ears now? But what if that wasn't what she heard from the beginning?

If she is also a wisp of soul, will she be able to understand it?

Su Xian pursed his lips, looked at the ball of light in front of him, and suddenly thought of the situation when he played the flute before. When she manipulates the rhythm, she naturally has to have no distractions, so that she can bring her mind into the music and play the most perfect tune, and at that time, ......

Thinking of this, Su Xian suddenly understood.

What affected her cultivation of that mental method was not the rhythm from the beginning, but the state in which she manipulated the rhythm, a state of concentration, like an out-of-body soul.

Su Xian thought of this, did not hesitate, picked up the Qihuang flute from the table, picked up the trick, closed his eyes and played again, this time it was a song called "Moon Maze Jindu", the music was ethereal and tactful, like a dream, bringing Su Xian into another situation.

In a trance, the surrounding scenery seemed to have changed.

Su Xian didn't open her eyes, but she found that she could see the scene around her, the surrounding qiē was the same as usual, but it seemed to be different, through the open window, Su Xian could see the bamboo swaying outside the house, they were dyed with strange colors, and the shaking between the bamboo leaves seemed very slow.

And just as Su Xian was staring at those bamboo leaves in a daze, she heard a voice.

A voice that was incomparably familiar, but had not been heard for a long time.

"Ah Xian."
