Chapter 21: The Woman in Gray
"Xiaomo, Big Brother Bai, where are you?"
Zhen Zhen was completely lost, she didn't know anything about the time and space she was in, the only thing fortunately was that this white mist seemed to contain magical energy, no matter how long Zhen Zhen walked or shouted, she didn't feel tired.
"Where the hell is this?"
The disciple said that this was the Void Spirit Realm, but Zhen Zhen stomped her feet hard, and the ground was extremely real.
She looked into the distance, and seemed to be able to see through the mist the towering peaks in the distance.
But that's just a vague outline, and who knows how long it will take to get there?
Perhaps, she should stay where she is and wait for Mo Feimo to pick her up.
"Go forward."
I don't know how long, a soft golden light appeared on Zhen Zhen's waist, it was actually the broken small leather whip, but under the action of some mysterious force, the scar on the leather whip quickly recovered.
Ever since Zhen Zhen was sensible, this little leather whip has been by her side, whenever Zhen Zhen is confused, hesitant, and afraid, as long as she touches the leather whip, her heart is like a mirror.
But I never expected that the whip would actually speak.
"Can you speak? What is your name? Do you remember me? I'm Vera. β
Zhen Zhen asked a lot of questions, but she didn't get any answers, but there was a force in the shadows that led her forward.
Gradually, the fog became lighter and lighter, and the world in front of me gradually became empty, looking extremely desolate.
"Hey, anyone?"
Vera shouted ahead, still no response.
"Little whip, I don't like it here." Zhen Zhen was a little frustrated, and no longer walked on, but found a random stone and sat down.
After walking for so long and shouting for so long, even if it is Zhenzhen, I feel that there is no hope.
The surrounding fog became thinner and thinner, and Zhen Zhen saw that she was sitting in a large ruin, surrounded by collapsed tall pillars and huge walls.
"Ugh."
I don't know what Mo Feimo is doing now? Did he and Big Brother Bai complete the task? They must be fine, though, will they worry about themselves? Will they run to find themselves? Will they be able to find themselves......
"Ahh
Zhen Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything, she looked around, and couldn't see anything but the ruins.
"Ahh
Zhen Zhen looked around vigilantly, carefully covering her mouth.
"Ahh
"Huh?!" Zhen Zhen was taken aback, the two long sighs behind her were not hers, she got up from the stone slab and ran up the ruins, shouting as she ran, "Is anyone there?" Is anyone there? β
In fact, Zhen Zhen is not completely afraid, on the contrary, she is happy that someone is nearby, perhaps, the other party can tell her how to leave this ruin!
But only her voice could be heard in heaven and earth.
Could it be that those few sighs just now were just echoes?
Zhen Zhen stomped on the broken rubble with a clattering sound. But looking around, even if it's just a ruin, it's still majestic.
"Little one, you're really going to make a fuss." An ethereal voice drifted in the wind.
Following the sound, I found that on a huge stone pillar in the distance, there was a woman in gray standing on it.
Maybe she knows what this place is!
Vera was overjoyed and staggered over, but no matter how she ran, she was always the same distance away from the woman in gray.
"I'm not running." Zhen Zhen disarmed and surrendered.
Ethereal laughter rang out from the wind again.
"Your laughter is so good, I don't have to look closer, I know that you must be a great beauty." Zhen Zhen smiled flatteringly.
"Ahh
Zhen Zhen wondered, "What's wrong with you, why do you keep sighing, are you lost like me?" β
A warm wind swept towards Zhen Zhen's face, messing up her hair, and when she came back to her senses, the woman in gray was close in front of her.
When she saw the person clearly, Zhen Zhen was even more stunned.
The clothes are old Taoist robes, and the hair bun is also a regular Taoist aunt's head, but the extreme dress can't hide the face that is as white as the moon.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhen Zhen felt that her aunt was really coaxing her, even if she didn't have that scar on her forehead, she would never be the most beautiful person in the world, because the most beautiful person in the world was standing in front of her.
"It's strange, how did you little creature here?"
"I don't know." Zhen Zhen said honestly, "My name is Zhen Zhen, what about you?" β
"What is my name...... No one called me for so long that I forgot my name. The gray-clothed woman's face was slightly sideways, as if thoughtful, her expression darkened, and the originally warm and warm heaven and earth suddenly changed color, and the wind mixed with the rubble on the ruins, screamed sadly.
Zhen Zhen looked at the changes around her and was taken aback, "It's okay to forget, I'll call you Sister Fairy." β
"Immortals? But I can't be a god...... Ahh
Vera curled up in a ball, as thin as a leaf in the wind, but luckily the leather whip in her arms emitted energy and stabilized her figure.
I don't know how long it took, the wind in my ears seemed to be a little quieter, and as soon as Zhen Zhen raised her head, the whip in her arms flew out with a "whoosh".
Zhen Zhen was so shocked that she suddenly raised her head and saw that the woman in gray had regained her composure, playing with a small leather whip in her hand.
"I mean, no wonder you, a mortal little guy, can come here, it turns out that there is this monster." The woman in gray smiled faintly.
This smile made the time and space where the earth shook and the mountains suddenly quieted down, and the silence was restored.
"The little leather whip is good, not a monster." Vera argued.
"What is something that specializes in sucking people's souls, but what is it if it's not a monster?" The woman in gray snapped and raised the whip in her hand high, as if it would turn it to ashes at any moment.
Zhen Zhen was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Sister, can you give me the whip back, that's the only thing my father left me." β
"Your daddy? Lie. The gray-clothed woman's hand lowered slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Your father has this monster, how can you be a mortal?" β
"I, I'm not mortal, I'm just sick."
The woman in gray raised her face, which could move heaven and earth, and looked at Zhen Zhen carefully.
Vera felt a light shoot at her, and she couldn't dodge, only as if she was in an awkward position, lying on a cutting board to be slaughtered.
But she had no choice, the woman in gray had unimaginable strength, and she had snatched her most reliable whip.
Because she was coming to the Void Spirit Realm, Zhen Zhen deliberately left the wolf treasure in Tianji Peak to guard the barefoot golden chicken, and at the moment, she had no means at all.
"Alasβ" the woman in gray sighed again, "pitiful, pitiful. β
Zhen Zhen looked around left and right, "Sister, are you saying I'm pitiful?" β
The woman in gray nodded, frowning slightly, "Poor child." β
"But I don't think so?" Zhen Zhen stared.
She felt that she had a good life, except that she lived in Tianji Peak and Xiaomo lived in Tianshu Peak, and it was a bit troublesome to live separately, and the rest were very satisfied.
The woman in gray looked straight into Zhen Zhen's eyes, "You inherited the extraordinary bloodline of your father and mother, and you were a natural immortal cultivator, but you were robbed of your spiritual veins by force. The scar on your forehead is the mark they left behind. β
Take away the spiritual veins?
Zhen Zhen only knew that she was sick, but she didn't know anything about the spiritual vein, her brain was confused, but her mouth said, "Sister, you are so powerful, can you do me a favor?" β
The woman in gray shook her head: "I can't repair your spiritual vein. β
"I'm not asking my sister to help with this." Zhen Zhen said.
"Oh?" The woman in gray was surprised.
"I teleported to the Ethereal Spirit Realm with Xiaomo to do a mission, but I arrived here alone, sister, can you send me to the place where Xiaomo is?"
The woman in gray looked at her, "Don't you want to know how you were killed?" β
"I want to know," Vera bowed her head, "but I'm afraid to know." I want to go back to Mo. β
The woman in gray looked at her for a long time, "Xiaomo, do you like him?" β
Zhen Zhen raised her head, her eyes were full of light, and she replied proudly, "Xiao Mo is a genius in cultivating immortals, a natural sword cultivator, and now he is in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Period. β
"The Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, hehe, it's really amazing," the woman in gray smiled again, her smile clear and pure, "Did he touch anything on you?" β
Zhen Zhen thought about it for a while, and handed over the emerald screen lamp that she and Mo Feimo had obtained from the robber for the first time on the road.
It's just that a white light flashed, and the emerald screen lamp returned to Zhen Zhen's hand.
"Okay, I know where he is, I can send you there."
"Thank you, sister." Zhen Zhen was overjoyed, and then took an inch, "Sister, can you give me back the whip?" β
The woman in gray looked at the whip and was noncommittal, but said, "In addition to relying on cultivating mana, immortal cultivators also need to use pills and tools to enhance their strength. The magic weapon is the lowest, the upper is the spiritual weapon, and the higher is the immortal weapon. But in addition to these three, there is also a special appliance. β
"What is it?"
"Horcruxes." The gray-clothed woman's eyes were full of white light, and her eyes were full of pictures of the small leather whip fighting in the past, "Your whip is a Horcrux." β
Zhen Zhen was puzzled, "What's so special about Horcruxes?" β
"The so-called horcrux is naturally a device with a soul, and the soul that lives in it is called a war soul." The woman in gray further explained, "In your father's last battle of life and death, the original battle spirit of this leather whip was also severely damaged and destroyed. β
"No," retorted, "it's alive, I can feel it." β
The woman in gray nodded, "That's just a remnant of some divine sense, if you don't find the right battle spirit, I'm afraid you will ......"
"Sister, what should I do then?" Vera was sad, the whip was the only thing Daddy had left.
The woman in gray thought for a moment, "I can help you put a ban in it, if you have a fate, you may be able to find a new war spirit." β
Zhen Zhen Muran nodded, watched the woman in gray draw a circle in the void, and threw the leather whip into it, the white light kept flashing, but in the blink of an eye, the whip returned to Zhen Zhen's hand.
"Thank you, sister." Vera lowered the hot little leather whip back into her waist.
The woman in gray nodded, "I'll send you to the first layer of the Void Spirit Realm now." After a pause, she added, "You can tell your Xiaomo, if he wants to reach the realm I am in one day, the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period is not enough. β
"Dzogchen is not enough? However, everyone else only hit the foundation building period in the late stage of qi refining. Zhen Zhen was puzzled.
"So no one else can come to my place." The woman in gray chuckled, "There is still a peak above the Great Perfection. β
"The peak of the Qi refining period?" Zhen Zhen had never heard of it, but the strength of the woman in gray made her dare not doubt it, "Sister, how do you cultivate to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Period?" β
The woman in gray said while setting up the formation, "Well, if your Xiaomo is a real genius, it will naturally arrive." Zhen Zhen, enter the battle. β
Zhen Zhen walked into the pattern of three irregular circles, and really felt a little itchy in her body, and then looked closely, and her toes disappeared little by little.
"What a magical spell." Zhen Zhen praised it, and suddenly saw a trace of loneliness in the eyes of the woman in gray outside the circle.
"Sister, have you always lived here alone?"
The woman in gray looked at the ruins of the palace in the distance and shook her head slightly, "No, a long, long time ago, I came to this realm with another person, and he built this palace for me. β
"So, how did the palace become what it is now?" Vera's knee was gone.
"I ruined it." A sour smile appeared on the corner of the gray-clothed woman's mouth.
Zhen Zhen had already roughly guessed the ending, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Why?" β
"Because he is gone, he has soared into an immortal." The woman in gray tilted her head, a teardrop sliding down her eyelashes.
The rain then fell, falling to the ground little by little, leaving only a weeping whimper between heaven and earth.
"Sister, you are a genius, then you hurry up and cultivate, and ascend to become an immortal to find him."
The woman in gray smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Since I met him, my Dao heart has been destroyed, and I have long been unable to cultivate. What kind of Taoist couples are deceitful, mortal husbands and wives have the same lifespan, so they can love for a hundred years, and immortal cultivators? It's just a pretense that came up for the sake of exploitation. β
"No, I don't believe it." Vera only has one head left.
"Little guy, if one day you are dying of old age, but your little ink is in the mood for life, what will you do?" The woman in gray looked at Zhen Zhen, whose mouth disappeared but couldn't speak, and said sadly, "You and I have a fate, it's okay to be blunt, if I were you, I would let Xiaomo stay in the Qi refining period forever." β
