Chapter 7: The Beast of Nothingness
"Xiaobai?" Qingling looked at Ye Jing, then at the little fox in her arms, and said with a smile, "You call her Xiaobai?" ”
"Well, she is my partner I met in the forest, because her coat is pure white as snow, so I named her Xiaobai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ye Jing showed a simple look and replied with a smile.
Although Ye Jing looks no more than ten years old, he is not a real childish boy after all.
Xiaobai is a fox, and Qingling is from the Qingqiu fox clan, it seems that she is still a princess, she can be described as a real fox spirit, seeing that Qingling's attitude towards Xiaobai is unusual, maybe there is something to do with the two.
Ye Jing saw this clearly, but it was not surprising for a level-headed adult to analyze this, but an ignorant child, if he also had this deep scheming, it would be easy to be feared, so Ye Jing was deliberately clumsy.
It's just that Ye Jing didn't know that his deep and calm performance when he was detained by Xiao Changfeng had already attracted attention, and he only remembered to hide it at this moment, but it seemed to be a little late.
Qingling looked at Ye Jing in front of her, and couldn't help but gently stroke Xiaobai in her arms, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The little fox who was held in her arms listened to Ye Jing's words, but seemed to be a little embarrassed, screamed softly, and after twisting a few times, finally jumped out of Qingling's arms and climbed onto Ye Jing's shoulder.
Feeling Xiaobai's closeness to him, Ye Jing was really happy, and there was a smile on his face without any pretense.
Seeing both Ye Jing and Xiaobai's actions in his eyes, Qingling did not stop them, only groaned slightly, looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and asked with a smile, "Where are we going, little guy, are you going?" ”
That was exactly where Ye Jing was going to go, so he naturally nodded.
Qingling said again, "That laughing old man may also go to that peak, aren't you afraid?" ”
Hearing Qingling mention this, Ye Jing's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't hesitate, "I'm afraid, but I still have to go." ”
Qingling didn't ask Ye Jing why, just smiled, and suddenly became bright, "Yes, you are not small, it is not in vain that I spent mana to save your life." In this case, let's go together, I want to know, with this palace watching, does the laughing old man dare to calculate you! ”
……
On the road again, except for Xiaobai and three women who should be fox spirits around him, they are no different from before, and they are still walking towards the mountain peak step by step.
Even when encountering those black mist monsters, Qingling's reaction was similar to that of Ye Jing before, and the first choice was still to avoid it.
It's just that the closer you get to the mountain, the more these weird black fog monsters are, and the more difficult it is to avoid them, and the battle is naturally unavoidable.
Surrounded by dozens of black mist monsters again, Qingling's maids, Hu Sui and Hu Ning should, struck again, still without using any spells, just relying on weapons against the enemy. The weapons of the two are extraordinary, although they can easily kill monsters, but the efficiency is naturally not as good as the previous Qingling shot.
Ye Jing was beside Qingling at the moment, but he didn't have to be as nervous as before.
Looking at the two people in the battle in front of him, although Ye Jing did not speak, the incomprehension in his eyes was obvious.
Qingling is also worthy of being the princess of the fox clan, her mind is naturally exquisite, she can know what Ye Jing thinks at a glance, and said with a light smile, "Little guy, you don't understand, why don't the two of them use magic to fight the enemy, but fight so slowly?" ”
Since his mind has been seen through, Ye Jing no longer hides it, "Well, the seniors have great powers, and those two sisters must also be extraordinary, if they cast spells, wouldn't it be much more convenient?" ”
Qingling looked at Ye Jing, with a smile on her face, "Little guy, you call those two girls sisters, but you call me senior, isn't this palace really old?" ”
Ye Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, and said in his heart, "The fox spirits are all more beautiful than the other, how can I know if I am old or not!" ”
However, the belly slander is the belly slander, and Ye Jing quickly changed his words, and hurriedly shouted, Sister Qingling.
Princess Qingling snorted lightly, and then explained, "Little guy, although you have washed the scriptures and cut the marrow, and your physique has been greatly changed, you have not really practiced yet, so naturally you don't know the way to practice. This small world has died, and there is not a trace of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and most of the monks use their own spiritual power as a guide to use the power of heaven and earth for their own use. There was no spiritual power in this heaven and earth, and it was naturally difficult to cast those spells. ”
Ye Jing listened, and his heart couldn't help but move.
According to Qingling, doesn't it mean that in this world where there is no spiritual power, no matter how high the cultivation is, it is only the same as that of mortals? If that's the case, then when the laughing wind comes in, won't it also become the same as ordinary mortals?
Seeing Ye Jing in a daze, Qingling seemed to see through his heart, "What? Want to take revenge on the smiling old man at this time? ”
Ye Jing came back to his senses when he heard this, groaned slightly, and shook his head, "No." Without the spiritual power of heaven and earth, it is difficult to cast spells, but it is not impossible to cast, there must be other ways, when my sister saved me before, didn't she use it once? ”
"Hmph, the little guy is smart."
Qingling snorted lightly and said, "Naturally, the spell can still be cast, but when it is cast, it consumes completely the monk's own mana." The monk's mana is limited, and it can be slowly recovered in the outside world, and there is no spiritual energy in this heaven and earth, and it will naturally not be able to replenish and recover if it is consumed. If you cast a spell easily, your mana will be exhausted, not to mention damaging your foundation, and then you will really become as weak as a mortal, and you may lose your life. ”
Listening to Qingling's explanation, Ye Jing really understood.
Although there is no heaven and earth spiritual power in this world, the monk's magic is not impossible to cast, but it is just that it will not be easily used if it is not necessary. Hu Sui and Hu Ning are like this, and Xiao Changfeng and others must be like this.
It's just that in this case, Qingling came to save himself, and it was not as simple as a simple gesture.
With this in his heart, Ye Jingkou didn't say it, but his gratitude to Qingling was even greater, no matter whether Qingling was because of Xiaobai or for some other reason, such a life-saving grace was always real.
While Ye Jing and Qingling were talking, the two sisters Hu Sui and Hu Ning had already settled the battle.
Ye Jing saw that after the battle, those black fog monsters that had been destroyed disappeared again without leaving the slightest trace, as if they had never appeared, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, what are these black fog monsters, how did they disappear so completely?" ”
Qingling hesitated for a while before he spoke, "These black mist monsters should be the legendary virtual beasts. ”
"Void Beast?" Ye Jingyan's mind moved slightly, if he said that the void beast, there was really a record in the Great Wilderness Ancient Scroll.
Qingling nodded, "The survival of living beings in the world needs the support of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, no matter the monks, mortals, demons and monsters, even the most humble grass and trees, if there is no spiritual power to nourish them, they will not be able to escape the end of annihilation in the end." This small world was opened up by Emperor Jun tens of thousands of years ago, and after the fall of Emperor Jun, this small world also died, so that the spiritual power of heaven and earth collapsed, and the original creatures in it naturally withered. ”
After a pause, Qingling's eyes had a hint of deepness, "After ordinary creatures are destroyed, they will directly return to chaos, but those monks who have good strength and are dedicated to pursuing the path of immortality, because of their powerful obsessions, often exist in another form and turn into virtual beasts, that is, void beasts." ”
Saying that, Qingling looked around and sighed lightly, "However, once you turn into a virtual beast, not only will you have no spiritual sense, but only the instinct to survive will be left, and as time goes by, you will still not be able to escape the result of annihilation." If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached, and the whole world will be dead, so how can they exist alone? It's just in vain. ”
Qingling's explanation was not much different from the records in the ancient scrolls, which meant that the black mist monsters they encountered before were actually transformed by monks who originally existed in this world, perhaps human cultivators, or demon cultivators.
Ye Jing was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "If we can't find the exit, will we end up like them?" ”
"What do you say?" Qingling put away her sigh and looked at Ye Jing and asked with a smile.
Ye Jing thought about it and laughed, "Maybe a master like my sister will, as for me, I'm afraid that by then, I will return to dust and dust." ”
"Little ghost, you can see it thoroughly!" Qingling scolded with a smile, "If you don't want to be dust, then don't hurry up and get on the road!" ”
……
I don't know how long it took to walk, Ye Jing and Qingling and their party went through hardships and finally arrived at the foot of the towering peak.
Along the way, the closer you get to this peak, the more those void beasts will be, but when you really reach the foot of the mountain, you can't see the shadow of a single void beast.
Ye Jing looked up at the top of the mountain, only to see that this mountain peak was straight into the clouds, and at the top of the peak, there was indeed a magnificent palace, such as in the clouds, it was not an ordinary place at first glance.
It's just that this mountain peak is extremely steep, and Ye Jing turned around, but he didn't find a mountain path that could be climbed upward.
Just when Ye Jing was still not giving up and was about to continue the search, Qingling smiled, but spoke, "You don't need to find the little guy, if the palace is good, if you want to go up the mountain, there is only one way to fly, and the mountain road is not at all." ”
Ye Jing was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted.
After all, his thinking has not been completely transformed, this is not an ordinary mortal mountain, but the place where the ancient god Emperor Jun lives, how can he climb step by step like ordinary mortals when he goes up and down?
Ye Jing couldn't help but look at Qingling, he didn't have the art of flying to the sky, and if he wanted to fly up the mountain, he could only rely on Qingling to take it.
I only heard Qingling say, "Although this world is lifeless, but along the way, there is no flaw, if there is really an exit, it can only be on the top of that mountain." It's just, I wonder if those guys have arrived? ”
Saying that, seeing Ye Jing looking at him, Qingling said, "Don't worry, little guy, this palace will take you up, but if it is really the Emperor Jun Divine Palace after you go up, I am afraid that there will be a fight." The old man who laughed at Changfeng was easy to deal with, but I was afraid that if there would be a scuffle at that time, the palace might not be able to take care of you, so you have to be prepared first. ”
Ye Jing hurriedly gave a salute, "It's already kindness that my sister can take me up, as for what will happen after I go up, it's all my fate, and I have nothing to do with my sister." Saying that, Ye Jing looked at the little fox on his shoulder, "It's just, little white ......."
Looking at the little white fox lying on Ye Jing's shoulder, Qingling's eyes showed a hint of softness, "Has the little guy played enough, it's time to come back, right?" ”
Hearing Qingling say this, the little fox whispered a few times, as if he was refutating, but he finally obeyed.
Reluctantly glanced at Ye Jing, Xiaobai finally jumped into Qingling's arms. Ye Jing didn't see any movement from Qingling, but Xiao Bai was a flash of white light on his body, and he disappeared like this.
Seeing that Ye Jing's eyes were full of reluctance, Qingling couldn't help but chuckle, "If you can get out alive this time, there will always be a time to meet her in the future." As for this moment, let's cheer up and find a way to save your life! ”
After that, Qingling didn't say much, and with a wave of his sleeves, he picked up Ye Jing and flew straight to the clouds.
