Chapter Ninety-Six: The Jungle Maze

When I came to this jungle in the south of Miaozhou again, everything around me seemed to have changed nothing.

Miaoshu is located in the south of Kyushu, and the change of cold and heat is not obvious, even in the past few months, the color of the branches and leaves of the trees here is only two points deeper.

Before entering the jungle, Xue Xun specially wandered around the nearby village, chatted with the old lady at the entrance of the village casually, and didn't listen to any changes in the jungle during this time, so he was ready to step in.

But......

Xue Yun clearly felt the difference.

This time Xiao Luo didn't come.

Xiao Luo and Xue Yun have attracted the thunder into Yuanying twice, and the Ming Province Valley has begun to attract attention, and they are also starting to slowly make a reputation, which is the critical time. In addition, Zhou Yan, who came to the complicated situation and sent Zhou Yan to stay and refused to talk about Su Run, Ming Shenggu could not be left alone.

Moreover, it is not clear what Kunwu Dao has to do with Jiujing, but Xue Yuan is the one who is really related to Jiujing with the power of the origin. And before, Xue Yu asked Xiao Luo to accompany him, and he didn't know how to enter the secret place of Jiujing, just like when Yuanzhou hit it by mistake, and used the Kunwu knife to break through the boundary. But right now, the "key" to enter Miaozhou Jiujing, the feather pattern "Gu" character Xuantie card is in Xue Yuan's hand......

Of the two valley lords of Ming Province, at least one should be left to sit in the valley.

It just so happened that after entering the Yuanying Dynasty, Xiao Luo had some ideas for improving the formation of the mountain protection array and several important places in the valley, and it was reasonable that he became the one left.

Xue Yun watched Xiao Luo easily break the formation and enter last time, although she is not as talented as Xiao Luo in the formation, Yu Du has quite an achievement, but after many years of hearing and seeing, she also has some insight.

Deep in the jungle, the formation that stood out from the mysterious village changed.

The last time the formation was that there was no Xiao Luo, and let Xue Luo come, it was estimated that it wouldn't take long to crack it, it was not complicated, on the contrary, it was very simple, and at that time, she and Xiao Luo felt a little strange. And this time, as soon as she entered the range of the formation, she clearly felt the difference in the fluctuations of spiritual power around her, and took two steps forward, and she saw with her own eyes that this psychedelic array at this time was much higher and deeper than the previous time.

It's just that fortunately, it's not a killing formation.

The current psychedelic array has what it should have been in the previous legends of nearby villages.

Over the years, several monks tried to enter in curiosity, but none of them succeeded, but fortunately, none of them were killed.

In the psychedelic array, what Xue Yu saw in front of her eyes was still a dense jungle at first, and after walking a few steps, a vast white mist suddenly appeared in the jungle, and the fog became thicker and thicker, even if she stopped, she still did not stop spreading, submerging everything around her into the white mist, and then she could not see the trees and vines in the jungle, and there was no longer even a strong smell of grass and trees between her nose.

Xue Yun stopped and did not move at will. She is not Xiao Luo, she can't walk around the formation without harm, and at the same time, she can quickly deduce the formation in her mind to test the momentum of breaking the formation. She didn't dare to act rashly until she cautiously explored it, in the realm of what should be considered a high-level phantom array in front of her, taking a wrong step might cause more changes, and it would become more and more difficult to detect.

Although the white fog flooded everything around her, it did not approach Xue Yuan's side, and stopped five steps away from her. Xue Yuan looked around, and the environment that was originally full of greenery became pure white.

Xue Yun stood in place for a long time, but he couldn't see anything, let alone deduce and break the formation. She tentatively took a step forward, and saw that the fog around her that was five steps away from her also moved, and moved a step back, as if there was a layer of enchantment around her, blocking the strange mist within the formation, and with her movements, the cover of the enchantment also pushed the fog outside to bounce.

First, Xue Yun was not as proficient in formation as Xiao Luo, and secondly, he was not very successful in poison techniques like Zhou Yan, so he couldn't tell if there was something strange about this mist. Although he had heard that the depths of the jungle would not hurt before, Xue Yuan still secretly condensed a layer of spiritual power on his body as soon as the fog gradually rose, to isolate the unknown mist that might be approaching. However, these strange mist stopped far away from her and the spiritual power she had condensed, and they were no longer close.

Xue Yun stopped after taking a step, lowered his eyes and thought quietly without moving, but at this time when she didn't make any moves, there seemed to be several breezes blowing in the formation, and when Xue Yuan, who was aware, turned his head to look, he could only see a white fog that moved slightly, and nothing else could be seen under the thick texture like lotion.

Xue Yun was even more vigilant.

She felt that those breezes were not illusions, and under the cover of the thick fog, there must be something else within the formation.

After pondering for a moment, Xue Yun took out the Xihua Sword and held it in his palm, and with the cultivation of the current Yuan Infant Stage, while suppressing the power of the origin without using it, he gathered his spiritual power on the blade of the sword, and swung a sword towards a certain place shrouded in dense fog-

The sound of the sword roar was accompanied by a dazzling silver light, wrapped in the whistling wind, towards the white mist that was about to turn into liquid, the rich white mist seemed to have been suddenly torn open, and the white mist where the silver light passed quickly retreated to both sides. But in the next moment, the silver light passed, and after the afterglow dissipated, the thick white mist converged again, filling back the gap that Xue Yuan had previously chopped with the Washing Hua Sword spell.

Xue Yun clenched the hilt of Xihua's sword, pursed his lips and looked at the reclosed gap, it didn't seem to have any damage to the dense fog barrier, and his heart was not easy at all.

With her cultivation that has now entered the Yuan Infant Stage, she can't break the formation with force, the original high-level formation is infinitely transformed, and it is impossible to easily restrain it with force, but she is also a little surprised, although she is not full strength, she has also used at least seven points of ability, and the blow is ...... It has no effect on this formation.

However, Xue Yuan felt that from the gap in the dense fog that had only broken for a moment and quickly regathered, what she saw in a flash was not her dazzle.

Xue Yun pondered for a moment, and after a sword test, he knew that it was useless to break through the formation with ordinary spiritual power, so he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a faint golden light flashed under his eyes.

She still held Xihua in her right hand, and the power of the origin was gathered on the body of the Xihua sword, which was different from ordinary spiritual power, when the pale golden power of the origin gathered on Xihua, the sword body trembled slightly, accompanied by bursts of buzzing.

In the jungle, after that village is the secret land of Miaozhou Jiujing.

The last time they came with Xiao Luo, the two of them probably found out that someone deliberately led them here, found Jiujing, and entered Jiujing, but until they left, they simply took away the feather pattern "Gu" character Xuantie card that could enter and exit Jiujing's secret land, and no one appeared.

Now, the formation on the outskirts of the jungle has changed, and there is ......

If there are really people here, there will still be people who will specially lead them into the secret land of Jiujing, if it is really as guessed that it is the guardian family lineage of Jiujing here, she must have noticed it after she awakened Jiujing with the power of the source, and these days must have felt that the Jiujing is different from the past, and the matter of her possession of the power of the source, even if they didn't know it before, they must know it now.

Since this is the case, Xue Yuan has less scruples.

After entering the Yuan Infant, the origin power in Xue Yuan's body has already accounted for most of it, and it will not be long before she cultivates to rise a little more, and she doesn't have to wait until the distraction period to turn all the spiritual power in her body into pure source power, so now she is particularly handy in using the power of the source, but if she wants to suppress the power of the source and only use ordinary spiritual power, she will have to waste more strength.

The Xihua sword swung out again along the trajectory of Fang Cai's sword, and the pale golden streamer was even more dazzling against the thick white mist, and with a clear sword sound in the roar, it went towards the trajectory of Fang Cai's sword light.

This time, the thick white mist quickly retreated before the golden sword light approached, giving way to a passage that was much wider than before, and even the sword light kept moving unimpeded, retreating from the thick fog all the way, until it collided with a protective barrier a few feet away, making a cracking sound in the empty and silent environment.

The retreating white mist could no longer gather back, and the path that the golden sword light had passed was forcibly opened up a path, and there were a few bushes on both sides, as well as towering ancient trees.

This path that was forcibly broken was not only as simple as dispersing the mist, but also breaking a hole in this high-level psychedelic array, although it did not destroy the entire formation, but it was to restore the normal scene before the formation shrouded the place where the sword light passed.

Xue Yun was lucky, this road was opened very accurately, and she didn't need to swing her sword again, but it actually pointed directly to the mysterious uninhabited village.

Xue Yuan stood where he was, looking at the end of the road, at the roof of the wooden houses on the outskirts of the village, squinted, did not relax his vigilance, and walked over step by step.

Entering this village again, the familiar wooden house stone platform, Qianmo stone slab, but a little different.

The village was still empty, but this time it was empty and it was very different from the last time. Xue Yuan even saw unburned firewood set up in the stove of one of the houses, and a few inconspicuous footprints could occasionally be seen on both sides of the stone road.

The person just left, and walked in a hurry.

Xue Yuan stood in the middle of the empty village, looking in the direction he had come.

It seems that he left in a hurry after noticing her entering the psychedelic array outside.

Why? Who are the people living in this village? If it is really the people of the Gu family in Miaozhou, since they know her situation and know that she has the power of the origin, they even led her into Jiujing to wake up Jiujing and see her, why should they hide instead?

With Fang Ye guarding the Fang family in Jiujing, Xue Yuan couldn't figure out the reason why he refused to meet her if it was really the Gu family in Miaozhou.

Since the other party was deliberately dodging, and even walked in such a hurry, it took her so much effort to find a way to come over, even if she chased it now, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up.

Xue Yun sighed, although she was full of doubts in her heart, she still remembered the main purpose of her trip.

Taking back the Xihua sword, taking out the bracelet that Zhou Yan gave her, and holding the "Gu" character Xuantie card in the other hand, Xue Yuan followed the road in the village, towards the depths of the village, in the direction of the secret land of Jiujing in Miaozhou.

......

The south of Miaozhou, a few miles away in the mountains.

"Lord Ridewind. A stout man with a height of nearly two meters arched his hand, and asked angrily, "How many times do we have to wait this time?"

The young man known as "Lord Riding the Wind" was originally standing on the mountainside with his hands behind his back and looking into the distance, when he heard the words of the stout man, he turned his head to look at him: "I just came out, so I am in such a hurry to go back?"

The stout man smiled and scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed: "That...... Didn't I leave in a hurry and drop my carving knife...... Next month is Taoyao's birthday, I ...... I haven't carved it yet......"

The young man hooked the corners of his mouth, the smile on his face was not deep, and it was very short: "I remember that you will be on duty for two more years, and you can go back." When you return to the clan, you should be able to drink the wedding wine of you and Taoyao. ”

Hearing him like this, the stout man's eyes narrowed with laughter, and the blush could be clearly seen on some of his dark faces: "Hehe, that ...... Hey, hey, hey, when the time comes...... When the time comes, we will invite Lord Chengfeng to drink the wedding wine, oh! And Your Highness! If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, there will be! Hehe, there will be! Brothers have it! Hehe!"

The young man smiled, and the next moment lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although he was made to giggle for a long time by the word "marriage", the stout man finally remembered the original intention of his coming over to talk, and after thinking about it, he didn't get a reply from Lord Chengfeng, so he scratched the back of his head and asked again: "What, that...... When can we go back...... If it's too long, I'll ...... I'll find a way to get another one. "The statue of him is almost finished, but it can't be sloppy, in case this can't catch up with Taoyao's birthday, although his skin and flesh are very rough, it may not be able to withstand Taoyao's claws......

"Just two or three days. The young man whispered, "This time there was a bit of a rush, she was already aware of us." knew that she deliberately didn't want to see each other, at least she wouldn't force it this time, and when she finished what she wanted to do, she would leave. ”

The stout man scratched his head again: "Lord Chengfeng, since you ...... She's found us, so let's ......."

The young man knew what he meant when he heard this, and before he was done, he replied, "Wait for Your Highness." ”

"Ah, yes, I have to wait for His Highness to return. The stout man also thought about it suddenly, and laughed twice embarrassedly, and sighed: "Yes, yes, this is the person His Highness wants to see, why do you have to wait for His Highness to come back to see him!

After the stout man left, the young man stood still, his eyes darkened with a little silver light.

"Your Highness......"
