She was interested in the way spirits communicated with each other, and needed enough samples. She had already asked Duyin's clone to investigate the place, and probably already knew the approximate size of the corner of the soul realm that had been opened. The children should not be able to move for a short time, and even if they do, she can use special methods to reach them as quickly as possible.
Due to the great war that year, the rules of the soul world were very chaotic, and spatial cracks appeared from time to time. Xiao Ruo's speed was suppressed a lot, and he could only fly slowly. But there really seemed to be spirits gathering in the vicinity, and it wasn't long before she came across another group of spirits.
From the point of view of energy, this team of spirits is slightly stronger than the five spirits just now, and at this time she knows what these spirits are doing. Because when she met this group of seven spirits, one of them was happily holding a small gray grass, and after carefully observing it, she handed it over to another female spirit who seemed to be the leader.
This grass is only about four or five centimeters long, the leaves are long, some flattened, if it is green, it is no different from the most ordinary weeds in the earth fairy world, but there is a special stem sticking out of the center of this grass, and a small gray-white flower blooms at the end. Xiao Ruo shrugged his nose and didn't smell any aroma.
The female spirit took Xiaocao in her hand and made the same movements as Xiao Ruo, but her expression was a little intoxicated, as if this very inconspicuous-looking little flower had the most moving fragrance in the world.
Xiao Ruo shook his head, it seems that the senses of the spirit are also different from those of normal people, this thing should be very good for them, because the female spirit is very happy to put away the little grass, and her movements are very careful, as if she is afraid that it will be damaged.
After putting away the grass, the female spirit patted the shoulder of the spirit who was holding the grass at the beginning, and let out a fluctuation, probably appreciation. Because the spirit that had been tapped on the shoulder grinned.
Let Duyin's clone also record this fluctuation, and Xiao Ruo no longer walked forward, but moved with this team of spirits.
After following for most of the day, I met two other teams of spirits on the way. The group of spirits also stopped to greet them, but only between the leaders, and Xiao Ruo also recorded the fluctuation. And after following for most of the day, Xiao Ruo also understood that these spirits came out to look for those gray plants. But the methods they used to probe the plants didn't seem to work very well, as they had ignored several of the plants she had discovered.
Those plants are very strange, even if they are exposed to the ground, they need to be pulled off before they can be seen, and they can be regarded as ghosts in plants. Even Xiao Ruo didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to find all the plants. These spirits are even less efficient. After following them for more than a long time, they had a harvest, that is, the time when Xiao Ruo first met them.
However, these spirits didn't look much depressed, and even a little proud when they met other spirits, obviously very satisfied with their gains.
Xiao Ruo was a little speechless about this. But she didn't mean to help. Judging from the actions of these spirits, those plants should be very useful to them, but the fact that spirits of this level were sent out to find those plants shows that even those high-level spirits may not be very efficient in doing these things, but they need to use these things, and it seems that they have to study these plants.
Thereupon. Xiao Ruo followed these spirits while collecting all the ghost plants he sensed. She consulted the spirits' practices and put them in stone boxes made of ground stones. Because she found that the plant she had dug up at the beginning had broken into powder silently, presumably because it could not be preserved.
After following these spirits for a while, Xiao Ruo estimated that it would take almost a day. The spirits began to walk back. Xiao Ruo perked up, and then followed.
These spirits didn't just rush back, they still searched for the plants on the way back, but in the end they still didn't find anything. These spirits were not discouraged and still maintained a decent spirit.
Walk past the vicinity where Xiao Ruo met those spirits at the beginning. After walking forward for about an hour or two, a village appeared in front of Xiao Ruo's eyes.
This discovery surprised Xiao Ruo. It is said that the spirits of the soul realm are just confused most of the time, and it is strange enough that they will act purposefully and communicate with each other, and they have even made a village, which is no different from normal people.
This discovery also made Xiao Ruo sure that there must have been a relatively big change in the soul world, otherwise these spirits would not have become so organized.
Compared to many villages in the Earth Immortal Realm, this spirit village is similar. Most of the buildings are adobe houses, but since most of the soil in the Spirit Realm is black, most of the houses here are black, and when you look at it from a distance, it looks a little oppressive.
Xiao Ruo did not follow those spirits into the village, but stopped about a mile away from the village. Because she found out that there was a ban outside the village!
Although these spirits also use some spells and even magic weapons, this is not the same as prohibition. The spells they use are all very simple, and the control of magic weapons is relatively simple, so it is understandable, but the prohibitions are different.
Even normal monks would have some difficulty learning the prohibitions, let alone these spirits who didn't know much about their self-awareness.
Xiao Ruo observed the prohibitions around this village outside, and found that in addition to the prohibitions, there were also faint fluctuations in the formations in the villagers' houses. Compared with the ban, the arrangement of the formation is simpler, if it is not flexible, and if it does not depict more complex formations, many monks can put up the formation.
The prohibition outside the village is very simple, and after Xiao Ruo analyzed it, he found that its role is probably to defend and supervise to prevent people from entering the village. After figuring out this prohibition, Xiao Ruo continued to analyze the formations around the villagers' houses, and found that these formations were somewhat similar to the Spirit Gathering Array. It's just that the Spirit Gathering Array gathers spiritual energy, and this formation gathers a special energy from the soul realm. According to Xiao Ruo's guess, these energies should be able to be used for the cultivation of these spirits, otherwise they wouldn't be around every house.
For the sake of safety, Xiao Ruo carefully inspected the village inside and out, and found no traps, so he dodged into the prohibition.
After entering, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but squint her eyes, it seemed that her feeling just now was not wrong. The concentration of the special energy inside this prohibition is far greater than that of the outside world. Just now, she had noticed that the houses in this village were arranged a little strangely, and now she could determine that the entire village should be a large spirit gathering array, which could cause this effect.
After confirming the matter, Xiao Ruo turned his attention to the houses in the village.
The houses in the village are divided into three categories in total. The most numerous types of houses are the crudest of the construction, many of which are only one or two rooms, and there is no furnishings in them; The second type of house is more elaborate and has more rooms, but it is also somewhat empty; There are only three houses in the last category, located in the eye of the large Spirit Gathering Array, and the concentration of special energy is also the highest.
Xiao Ruo didn't send out his divine sense to investigate these three houses, after all, in terms of location, the spirits living in these three houses should be the highest in this village. Without knowing the cultivation of these spirits, Xiao Ruo didn't want to rush over so as not to be discovered. So she just glanced at it from afar, and turned her attention to the rest of the house.
She probed a little, and found that the group of spirits she was following had just stepped out of one of the three houses, each with a smile on their faces, and she knew that she was in a good mood.
Xiao Ruo raised her eyebrows, and the actions of these spirits also confirmed her guess.
The spirits parted a short distance from the door of the house out of which they had come out, and the female spirit, who was the leader, walked towards the second-class houses in the village, while the remaining spirits scattered to the first-class houses.
Xiao Ruo frowned, if these spirits stayed in her house all the time, then her plan would have failed. After thinking about it for a moment, she decided to wait for a while, if there really wasn't any movement.
As time passed, teams of spirits returned to the village. When each group of spirits returned to the village, they would go to one of the three houses and come out with either a depressed or happy expression. However, each team arrived at the same house, which made Xiao Ruo wonder if the spirits in it had also implemented a shift system.
After waiting for a while, there was almost no spirit coming back, and now Xiao Ruo remembered something. Arthur: They captured a team of spirits, if this team of spirits belongs to this village, and each team of spirits must return to the village at this time, if they don't come back, will it attract the attention of the highest spirits in the village?
But even if Arthur was informed now, it would be too late for them. Even if they put those spirits back, it would be difficult for them to restore those spirits to their original state.
In Xiao Ruo's opinion, the prohibition outside this village has a defensive effect, indicating that this village may also be attacked. If these attacks didn't come from those of them who came from the Earth Immortal Realm, they should have come from somewhere else. In this case, you may be able to fool the past.
However, the strength of this prohibition is really high, even if she comes, she may not be able to arrange a prohibition with a higher defensive strength than this, it seems that the person who arranges the prohibition should be a master. But is there anything in this soul world that needs such a high level of defensive strength?
Xiao Ruo pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a certain rumor, and his face suddenly changed a little.
