"There is no one here, but there are traces of people living here. ”

Xue Yuan stood by the door of a room, turned his head and looked at Xiao Luo, who was walking towards her at this time.

Xiao Luo walked over slowly, although there was no heavy tension on his face, his body was tense, and he was vigilant all the time.

Hearing Xue Yuan's words, Xiao Luo also nodded: "Not bad, but ...... Looks like it's been a while. ”

Xue Yun looked around: "These buildings and houses here look like they are some years old, it should be just like those villagers, some people have stayed in this place for a long time to live, but they are ......."

"When we followed the clues, we all left. ”

"But if it's a deliberate ......" Xue Yun frowned and was a little puzzled: "But there is no poisonous miasma trap here, and there is no ambush outside...... I don't understand. It's weird, but it's not like it...... There is malicious intent. ”

"Since it is unreasonable, it is always good to be careful and cautious. ”

Xue Yun nodded in agreement, took Xiao Luo's hand, and searched carefully in this quiet village.

The reason why the two of them are in this place at the moment is from the first ceremony of entering the valley in the province of Riming.

Yao Lan took the lead with the second-generation members of the Ming Province Valley, who were not very many, and walked around Miaozhou to find cultivation seedlings, and by the way, he inquired about the news. Before the ceremony of entering the valley in Ming Province, which Lu Yan had full authority to prepare, some shadowy news came back to Gu Zheng

The Ming Province Valley is in the mountains that stretch in the northwest of Miaozhou, and he went to the wetland and quagmire area in the south of Miaozhou to find news and find his disciple Yao Lan, and brought back some news that was different and what Xue Yuan was most concerned about.

Ordinary people have risen from several villages in the southern part of Miaozhou, where deep in the jungle ponds live a group of mysterious people who never associate with them. Originally, they didn't know it, but those who occasionally strayed into the depths of the jungle, or ventured into it to collect medicine, could catch a glimpse of several figures with a distinctly different temperament from ordinary people.

The old people in the village, the traces of the existence of that group of people, can be traced back to their ancestors many generations ago, but no one has seen the exact appearance of the people in it, and they don't know how many of them are still living in it, and where they live.

At first, they all thought that the jungle was inhabited by cultivators, and in the depths of the jungle, no matter how many curious people wanted to go deeper, there was no way, and they firmly believed that it was the magical means of the immortals.

The southern part of Miaozhou has always been a bit remote and the environment is somewhat harsh, and there are few people who settle in Ci, and there are even fewer monks from Miaozhou, who will come to the south. But after so many years, after all the time, I still met so many monks who happened to pass by, and after listening to the rumors circulating in the nearby villages, I was very curious to try to go deep into the jungle by means of monks.

But...... None of them succeeded.

So gradually, the depths of the jungle that made the unattainable Immortal Master who were unattainable in their eyes disgraced and discouraged, and some even escaped with serious injuries, became more and more mysterious in the eyes of these ordinary villagers.

There are old people in the village who firmly believe that it is not the immortal master who is deep in the jungle, but the real immortal god.

Many years later, some people still believe that some people can still see sporadic altars for worshipping unknown immortals deep in the jungle in some villages in the south of Miaozhou.

Yao Lan found a seven-year-old boy in a nearby village, his parents died and he relied on the kind elders in the village to help, he was hungry and full, and he couldn't live anymore, and after being found by Yao Lan, he nodded without hesitation and promised to go back with her.

After finding the "future disciple" who matched her eyes, Yao Lan was also in a good mood, and at the request of the "future disciple", she stayed two more in the village, so that the guy could have the opportunity to go to the door one by one to thank the people who had helped him, and he happened to hear such a rumor. Yao Lan was also cautious, and went to several nearby villages to inquire about the depths of the jungle, although the content was somewhat surprising, but the legends were similar, pointing to the mystery in it. Yao Lan personally tried to enter the jungle once, and got lost in the jungle after several circles, and finally got out of the jungle easily, but returned to the village where she entered the jungle. Yao Lan is also a monk not far from the Jindan period, and her perception has become a little sharper since she accidentally broke into a mysterious secret place with Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan in Yuanzhou, even if she uses the means of a monk, she still can't go deeper into the jungle, and she faintly feels in her heart that there may be a maze outside.

They are Xiao Luo of Ming Province Valley, Xiao Gu Master is proficient in formations, and if he is replaced, there may be a way to enter.

So Yao Lan didn't delay any longer, took her "future disciples" waiting in the village, hurried back to the Ming Province Valley, and brought the news to the two valley masters seven days before the start of the valley entrance ceremony prepared by Lu Yan.

After getting this news clue, if it weren't for the fact that there would be a first-class event in Ming Province Valley after the seventh day, Xue Yuan would probably have set off to find out at that time.

After the completion of the ceremony of entering the valley, the fourth-generation disciples of the new valley began to try to induce qi into the body in an orderly manner under the guidance, and read and read books, and learned some basic martial arts to strengthen the body. Before the official admission of disciples began, all the new disciples who entered the valley temporarily studied and cultivated together, among which Yao Lan, who was the most fond of teasing these disciples, was the one who taught them the method of qi induction, Shangguan Miao who guided some of the disciples with spiritual root problems to practice Qingyun Jue, Li Yanning, who was in charge of the newly built Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and Li Yanran, who was almost unstoppable in the Martial Arts Valley, regardless of cultivation.

More than ten days after the ceremony, Xiao Luo finally preliminarily completed the formation that Xue Yuan had conceived before, which had the effect of washing the essence and cutting the marrow, and Wen Ning, who had incorporated the chaotic aura in the secret place of Jiujing, and Shangguan Miao, who had not been exposed to the chaotic aura, volunteered to enter the experiment. Three days later, the two of them came out of the warm spring in the back mountain where the formation was arranged, although it was not as much as the chaotic aura in the secret land of Jiujing that day, but it did have the effect of washing the spiritual root and warming the meridians. Everyone in the valley cheered, but they also kept in mind that those who entered the retreat at the beginning of Xiao Luo's formation should not be too much.

What Xiao Luo paid the most attention to when constructing the formation was not actually to transform the aura to wash the essence of the essence, but to control the power of the origin that Xue Yu had sealed in the formation and not dissipate into the water vapor of the formation. But......

Xue Yuan's origin power already had the effect of restraining and dissolving other spiritual powers, and it was enough to use the formation arrangement to urge this power, but now what they wanted was to let the domesticated power remain for a long time and continuously transform the spiritual energy according to their wishes. I tried many times before, but I couldn't succeed, if it weren't for Xue Yun himself, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control the power of the origin that was tried to be "domesticated" by the formation after getting out of the body.

In the end, Xiao Luo tentatively used the Kunwu Knife and used the Kunwu Knife to condense spiritual power to depict the formation runes.

Originally, it was just a try, who knows......

The power of the Origin that seemed to be "unruly" before was actually ...... Successfully stabilized and was able to be smoothly "submitted" by the formation.

When the experiment was successful, not only Xue Yu on the side, but even Xiao Luo himself, who was holding the Kunwu knife, was silent for a long time.

However, although the formation depicted with the help of the power of the Kunwu Sword can allow the power of the origin to run on demand, and finally achieve a formation spirit pool that can wash the essence of the essence, there is still a fly in the ointment, that is, the power of the origin still cannot be imitated by the Zhou run in Xue Yuan's body.

But for the Ming Province Valley, which is now newly built, it is already very good.

After the completion of this important place in the Ming Provincial Valley, named "Washing Pool", and was left to Lu Yan to take care of it, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo rested for two more days before setting off from the Ming Provincial Valley and heading to Yao Lan's previous deep jungle in the south of Miaozhou.

Regarding the behavior of the two valley masters to "shake off the shopkeeper", even Lu Yan, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but bite a mouthful of silver teeth, and in addition to being angry, Ming Shenggu had already determined that the deacon elders could only talk about Wen Ning, who was always around Shangguan Miao, to come over and "give him a hand".

And starting from the valley of Ming Province, without being accompanied by Yao Lan, who is now responsible for teaching, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo came all the way to the south of Miaozhou, and did not stop in the village where Yao Lan had previously inquired about the news, and directly followed the guidance of some imprints left by Yao Lan when he left here, and entered the jungle.

As Yao Lan expected, deep in the jungle, behind the quagmire, sure enough, there was a psychedelic array, which did not hurt people, but could prevent people from entering.

But......

Xiao Luo didn't break the formation, but just deduced in the formation little by little, and found a way to pass through the maze without destroying the formation.

At that time, he said to Xue Yuan: "This formation is not complicated. ”

It wasn't Xiao Luo's boasting of his formation's ability, Xue Yuan clearly realized that he was very serious about this sentence.

This psychedelic array in the depths of the jungle is really not complicated enough.

It took the two of them half a day's effort to pass through the peripheral psychedelic array and enter a ......

Village.

Stone houses, vines on the roofs of the eaves, and hardwood paved roads.

The village is so quiet that there is no sound, but everywhere there is a breath of life. It should have been inhabited not so long ago, but now, none of the people who once lived here are gone.

After carefully inspecting the few houses near the entrance of the village, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo gathered together more and more cautiously in their hearts and went deeper into the village.

Looking in from the entrance of the village, the deeper you go, the more old the buildings look inside.

And the more you follow the main road in the village, the more obvious a sense of decay that has lasted for years.

Different from the outside of the house, which is still a new house, the flower stands, tables and chairs, the more you go inside, the clearer the traces of the passage of time become.

However, there was still no one here, and there was still no movement.

Until, the two of them stopped in front of a towering stone-built courtyard in the deepest part, but it was much damaged and already dilapidated.

The wild grass in the courtyard is more than one person tall, some are withered and yellow, and some are flourishing. The broken stone walls were scattered into blocks, and the brick and stone floor was so dark that the color was so dark that there were not a few stone bricks that could be considered complete on the floor of the entire courtyard.

The wooden door of the main house had decayed and hung loosely on the door frame, looking like it would shatter at the slightest touch. Looking through the cracks in the half-broken wooden doors, the room was filled with only a little light from the broken walls and panes.

Xue Yun heartily pushed open the wooden door, with a slight cracking sound in a slightly harsh sound, but it was good, the door did not fall.

The two stepped into the house, Xue Yun thought for a while, did not use his spiritual power, but turned his hand and took out two pearls from the storage bracelet.

It was the bead that was used as a light source when the Streamer Grass Mountain Range fell into the underground cavern at the beginning of the Liang Gap.

The soft silver light reflected the somewhat dimly lit room, which was not very spacious, and there were not many things, and there were a few deep scratches on the walls, like ......

Artifact Attack.

In this house from an unknown amount of time, it was clear that there had been at least one fierce fight.

But at this time, the two of them paid more attention to the stone platform directly in front of them.

Like this dilapidated house, the half-man-high stone platform has been eroded to its original appearance, and it is impossible to see what it once carved into, and there are a few inconspicuous cracks on it.

Xue Yun approached with the pearl, only to find that this was not a solid stone platform, but a hollow stone box-like thing, looking through the cracked gap, there seemed to be something inside, but except for the cracked gap, there was no opening on the stone box that could be opened.

Xue Yun turned his head to glance at Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo pursed his lips, stretched out his finger and rubbed it carefully on the stone box, while squinting his eyes slightly and cautiously tentatively: "...... On this, there is still a very faint aura of prohibition, which has long been invalid. Although it is impossible to know what it was originally based on this residual breath, it is estimated that it should have been used to seal and protect this stone box. ”

“...... It should be unusual to look at it this way. After hearing this, Xue Yun leaned Mingzhu into the stone box again: "The ban should have been invalid for many years, otherwise this stone box would not have been damaged into this shape." That being the case, let's open it and see. ”

Xiao Luo nodded, and his fingers pinched hard along the largest gap in the stone box, and the already old and dilapidated stone box cracked in response, falling to the left and right, splashing dust on the ground and making a dull sound.

The crust of the crate shattered and fell, but a fist-thick pillar of stone stood in place, and despite the small cracks on it, it still stood in place.

At the top of the stone pillar, there was a dusty object.

Xue Yuan waved his sleeve and fanned away the dust on it, revealing the true face of this object.

A jet-black token made of dark iron, surrounded by carved wings, with a word engraved in the center.

Look at.
