170. Soul cultivation

These three paintings are dyed with a very fine brush, and the gestures of the three makeup beauties are vividly expressed. At first glance, it looks like a real person!

As for why all three of them became exactly the same people in white later, it is better explained.

The person she saw was just the same person from beginning to end. As long as the original man in white moved faster, it didn't look like four identical people! The reason why the man in white wants to do something to his divine consciousness is only for this reason!

Zhou Zhou He said that the first level must have a certain amount of actual combat ability to pass. It's not that they made a move, but they were blocked back, so I thought that this level had to be passed by a formation mage!

"Smart little girl, welcome to the inheritance cave of the real people, my sister is waiting for you at the last level!"

A pleasant voice came, and the man in white was gone. Ye Qingyue was stunned.

The inheritance of the real person? It turned out that it was a wisp of divine consciousness left behind after the fall of the owner of this cave.

actually set up such a kind of blind method that seems to be true and not true, and seems to be false and not false, it can be seen that he is also an interesting master!

So, how do you get out?

She looked around at the stone chamber. The stone chamber is about three zhang long and wide, and a fist-sized sunstone is embedded in the top. This sunstone is far brighter than the moonstone, and it is also more rare, illuminating the entire stone chamber as if it were day.

Since this is a customs clearance inheritance cave, then, the way out of the next level must be completely through the first level.

The key to the first level is the three paintings.

All three paintings are painted on soft silk. The man in the painting has wide sleeves and a wide robe. The hair was not tied into a bun, but tied up with a scarf. The scarf hung down long behind him, bringing out a little elegant fairy posture of the person in the painting.

On the slightly yellowed silk silk, they folded their hands in front of their lower abdomen, holding a strange jade box in their hands.

As she approached the three paintings, a familiar scent came to her face. There was a slight coolness in the light fragrance, and I only felt a sense of comfort in my lungs when I smelled it. It was the fragrance wafting in the illusory sea of flowers before.

But how did the flowers appear?

If it is a phantom array, it will leave traces of the formation; If other means are used, it should not be traceless.

The pattern on the jade box is the kind of flowing cloud pattern with an ancient atmosphere, which is rolled or scattered in a circle. It's like a pair of vertigo eyes.

She couldn't help but raise her hand. Gently stroked the lines. Under this touch, I was surprised that this picture scroll was not flat. Where the jade box is drawn, there is obviously a bulge.

On a still statue of a beauty, this bulge is in the form of a round platform. Standing in the woods.

She didn't do it right away. Instead, I carefully explored the other two paintings with the palm of my hand.

The other two paintings are almost flat. There are no similar bulges.

Ye Qingyue turned back to the first picture and pressed it lightly on the raised round platform.

"Click, click!" The movement was a little noisy in the silent stone chamber, like the movement of a spring bearing when it turned.

on this picture. The bump that was pressed suddenly reverted to its original shape. Then, as if a pair of invisible hands were pushed over from the other side of the stone room wall, the jade box on the painting moved little by little in the direction where Ye Qingyue was.

This box also looks like the jade box on the screen, with a circle of flowing cloud patterns engraved around it. It's just that it has changed from a flat stack of lines and colors to a real object.

It's like the box in the painting has become real.

"Let's go!" With a soft sound, the lid of the jade box suddenly opened by itself.

Ye Qingyue had a bad premonition in her heart.

The flowing cloud patterns on the box suddenly came to life, and there was a flowing light swimming along those lines.

Inside the box, several small dolls jumped out. These small dolls are no more than the thickness of a thumb and only three inches high, but the workmanship seems to be extremely fine, and they look like shrunken real people.

They were wearing silver armor and holding swords in their hands, and even their eyebrows were solemn and condensed.

"Click, click!"

This time, the entire wall was receding, and the entire stone chamber instantly expanded nearly tenfold.

In this lively noise, the sunstone that had been shining brightly before was actually extinguished, and the entire stone room fell into a dead darkness.

But the Divine Consciousness does not need light. Even in the dark, Ye Qingyue could still see everything in this stone room clearly.

The small puppet jumped out of the jade box and fell to the ground. At this time, he suddenly began to grow taller, and in the blink of an eye, he became life-size.

These "people" rushed towards Ye Qingyue from the corner of the wall, their clothes seemed to be relatively bulky, but their steps were extremely light, and there was not a trace of footsteps in the stone room.

Ye Qingyue had already drawn her sword.

As soon as the turquoise Quanyin Sword came out of its sheath, a faint cyan glow shone a halo in the dark stone room.

The armored man had already floated to Ye Qingyue's side in an instant, and the blades in his hands were all fired, attacking Ye Qingyue.

The strange thing is that Ye Qingyue didn't feel any cultivation from these "people". When their blades and blades swung in, the wind they brought up was dark and cold, and it was not at all like the spiritual power cultivated by Taoist cultivators.

Could it be that these "people" are not able to cultivate spiritual power?

Her heart moved, and she stood like a knife and drew a circle in front of her.

A cluster of bright red flames flowed through that trajectory, and it was the hottest wisp of the Phoenix True Flame.

The stone chamber suddenly became hot, but those tall armored "people" retreated as if they had encountered the most terrible natural enemy.

Their hurried movements, the stone chamber was still quiet and strange, and there was not the slightest sound of fighting.

Isn't it true that these armored people are not disembodied?

She remembered another existence hidden in the darkness in the cultivation realmβ€”the soul body.

After the death of a living being, due to various external reasons, the soul fails to enter the path of samsara or dissipates into the heavens and the earth, and it will become some spirit body that only has attachments or has a clear mind.

The so-called ghosts of mortals are one of them.

In fact. The so-called soul body does not refer to ghosts alone. Sometimes, some spiritual creatures will also give birth to spiritual wisdom because of the nourishment of the qi of heaven and earth. These spirits have no substance, they are attached to the accompanying spirits. This type of being is also an important part of the soul body.

Souls don't have to be spontaneous. There is also a type of soul body that can be artificially created.

For example, the instrument spirit of the magic weapon, some evil cultivators and demon cultivators use special means to collect the souls of mortals or monks, and refine them, and they can also be made into some powerful souls.

Regardless of the type of soul, there is no substance. It's just a condensed collection of pure soul power. They can also be cultivated. However, what is cultivated is soul power, which is called soul cultivation.

Soul cultivation is the most mysterious and unpredictable type of existence in the cultivation world. How exactly do they cultivate, how do they advance? What are the means of attack. The Taoist cultivators also knew nothing about this. Soul Cultivation. It is a type of existence that is generally feared in the cultivation realm, and it seems to be a very shady type of existence, at least. Ye Qingyue had only seen a few words in the classics, and had never heard of their real existence.

But no matter what, soul cultivators are generally afraid of yang things, but it is easy to speculate.

Under the control of Ye Qingyue's divine sense, the cluster of flames suddenly split into two, two into four, and four into eight...... Eventually, they dispersed into fireflies and chased after the life-like armored men.

The dark stone chamber, in these glowing firelights, also vaguely shows a rough outline.

The flames soon caught up with the armored men, and the sparks dotted on them, and the cold faces began to distort and deform, and their bodies gradually became transparent in this hideous distortion.

But it was all done in silence.

But suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded in the stone chamber.

"Daoyou, please be merciful! The little woman already knew the power of the Taoist friend, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous. I hope that Daoyou will spare my subordinates! ”

Ye Qingyue turned around, only to find that there was a purple beauty dressed up in the stone room at some point.

At this time, there was a pleading look in her delicate eyebrows, and when she said this, there seemed to be a faint tear in her eyes.

After taking a closer look, Ye Qingyue, who had experience, immediately determined that this girl who couldn't see her cultivation was also a soul cultivator, just like those people in Fang Cai.

It's just that her Taoism is much more sophisticated, and her body is no different from a real human body, and she can make a sound.

"Who are you? Why do you want to do it to me? Ye Qingyue asked.

The woman bowed and said, "The little woman is the spirit in the painting, and she was ordered to come here again to investigate the master of this cave and choose the person to inherit." The girl once helped her, and now she has passed the little girl's level. Please also ask Daoist friends not to embarrass my subordinates. ”

"It turns out that the person in the painting has become a spirit!" Ye Qingyue said, this purple-clad beauty looks very familiar, but it was the figure in the painting who walked out.

She went to look at the painting hanging on the wall, where the beauty was originally located, and it was now blank. Only a gap in the scroll reveals a slight pale gray of the stone wall.

"Are your subordinates also the people in the painting?" Ye Qingyue raised her hand to retract it flexibly, and asked the purple-dressed beauty softly.

"Exactly!" Na Li said, "The owner of this cave is very fond of painting, and he left countless brushes and inks during his lifetime. Many of them have gained wisdom because of age, and these guards are some of them. ”

When Ye Qingyue heard this, she punched out the seal to collect the spiritual fire, but her fingers were stunned, and behind her, a cluster of colorless flames suddenly appeared.

A shrill scream sounded, Ye Qingyue took a big step forward, and the stars and fireflies surrounded her, looking like a bright galaxy.

But looking at the colorful flames, it was surrounded by a flower and burning vigorously.

The flower was pure white, the size of a bowl, and struggled violently in the flames, as if trying to escape, but was trapped by the tentacle-like flames.

"Rosemary? This is also the spirit of the painting! Ye Qingyue sneered, "On the one hand, I deceived me with good words, but on the other hand, I took advantage of my unpreparedness and let this sneaky thing with the ability to confuse my mind sneak attack me." It's really calculating! ”

The woman looked frightened and waved her sleeves. I saw thousands of flowers falling from her sleeves. These cold flowers were like moths to the fire, rushing towards Ye Qingyue.

The flames suddenly flourished, and a sword light swept through the firelight.

"Snort!" A soft sound flowed through the firelight.

Ye Qingyue didn't know when she arrived at the wall. The blank silk painting was twisted into powder.

At the moment when the silk painting was destroyed, the purple-clothed beauty's body suddenly became transparent, and the look of shock on her face had not faded, it dissipated like light smoke.

As soon as she disappeared, the flowers in full bloom suddenly disappeared into thin air.

As long as the sporadic flames rise and fall like stars in the stone chamber.

When Ye Qingyue looked at the other two walls, the silk paintings on the walls had disappeared for some time!

Her face changed, and she suddenly thought of the people in these two paintings. It's not that the sneak attack failed. Take advantage of the moment when the man in purple ran out of the flowers, and ran away, right?

Perhaps, these flowers are not all thrown by the man in purple.

The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark. She also missed the calculation.

But. There is a phoenix true flame in hand. If these ghosts still want to deal with her, I'm afraid they won't show up in person!

As for the ghost story of the inheritance of the cave, it is doubtful to think about it now.

So. What exactly is the man in white who appeared at the beginning?

What is her purpose? Why didn't you make a move? How many soul cultivators are there in this stone room?

She couldn't think of any satisfactory answers to these questions for a while, so she didn't think about it anymore and looked towards the end of the stone room.

The floor of the stone chamber is paved with dark and dull stones, the shape of these stones is not very regular, it looks irregular, but the pieces are spliced together, and the ground is very flat.

The walls of the stone chamber were also made of such obsidian, and Ye Qingyue tapped lightly along the stone wall with the tip of her sword, and the sound sounded crisply.

Finally, she stopped in front of a relatively thin wall. After stepping back a few feet, he pulled out two black balls from his storage bag, gestured at them, and threw them at the wall.

It was the Fire Thunder Bead she had used in the Qi Refining Period.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the whole stone chamber trembled, and the stones and dirt fell. A man-high hole had been blown out of that wall.

Before Ye Qingyue could see what was behind the stone wall, a curse sound came into her ears.

"That bastard dares to demolish the old lady's house! If you want the old lady to know......"

When the fire faded, Ye Qingyue saw that on the other side of the wall, the collapsed wall rubble wriggled a few times, and a black claw pulled out of the rubble.

Immediately after, a scene that surprised her even more appeared.

A man in a cyan robe hurried over and said anxiously, "Fu Niangzi, are you okay?" As he spoke, he began to help clear the rubble from the ground.

I heard a clear voice again: "Six-tails, you just like to make a fuss, even if you die, that crazy woman can't die!" ”

The man's words fell, and he also appeared in front of the pile of rubble. This is a familiar face, it is the mirage demon that Ye Qingyue once saw who claimed to be "Xiao Wang".

Ye Qingyue walked into the big hole, and at this time, the eyes of the mirage demon and the blue-robed man also fell on her.

"Hey, you're here?" The mirage was overjoyed and stepped over the pile of rubble to the side of the wall.

"Girl, this time, you can't escape!"

Ye Qingyue's Phoenix True Flame had already appeared in front of her, and she asked, "Why are your seniors here?" ”

The mirage raised his eyebrows slightly: "Little guy, this time, the red fox is not by your side, right?" I think it's better for you to tell the whereabouts of that junior of my clan first. As he spoke, the coercion belonging to the Jindan Stage Demon Cultivator had been unrestrained.

The pressure with the smell of threat increased sharply, and the skeletal muscles of the whole body instantly tensed. Ye Qingyue gritted her teeth, facing the matter of thinking that her cultivation was much higher than her own cultivator's coercion, and it was the first time she had encountered it. What a ...... I can feel the meaning of the four words "the strong are respected".

Phoenix Zhenyan suddenly jumped a few feet higher as if it was the mind of a master.

The scorching heat spread through the stone chamber, slightly negating the terrifying pressure.

A look of surprise flashed in the mirage's eyes: "This phoenix flame will actually recognize you as the master?" ”

Ye Qingyue looked directly at him and said, "If it weren't for that, how could the junior get the Phoenix Nirvana Egg?" ”

The mirage suddenly reined in his momentum, and said with a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth: "Since the girl can subdue this Phoenix True Yan, this is also the girl's ability." It's just that this phoenix egg is a descendant of my demon clan, and the girl is better to return to me. The girl brought out the phoenix egg, and she was also kind to my demon clan. In the next decision, it should be rewarded with generous gifts. ”

This is to see if the snatch can't be done, so do you want to take the Huairou route?

If you really got that phoenix egg, who knows if you will suddenly turn your face and kill people?

Ye Qingyue's expression became more and more condensed.

"How precious are phoenix eggs, how can they always remain in me as a foundation building monk? I think Jingyuan Zhenjun has also informed Your Excellency, and after meeting, he will give you an explanation of this matter. ”

"So, now, this phoenix egg has nothing to do with the girl?" The mirage glanced at the phoenix Zhenyan, his smile faded, and he said without emotion: "If that's the case, come to think of it, it doesn't matter if the girl dies here at this moment, right?" ”

Is this a threat?

Ye Qingyue didn't have the slightest fear, her eyes also fell on the phoenix true flame, but her tone became cold: "Since Your Excellency is a demon clan dignitary, then you should know that this phoenix true flame is the fire of phoenix nirvana. It made the Flame Mountain a hundred miles of red land, and the Valley of Flames in the center was the same as the magma melting place. ”

"So, in terms of strength, I am certainly not your opponent. But if I have to fight to break the net, I can still do it by pulling a few people to the same end. ”

Mirage's face froze! At this moment, in the pile of rubble, a small woman dressed in red pushed away the rubble and came out.

This woman was not only extremely short in stature, but also very peculiar in appearance.

She had an inverted triangular face, her facial features seemed to be squeezed together, her lips were thin, and her lip line was crooked. Collapsed nose, small eyes, slightly hanging eyebrows, dark and rough skin, and neatly combed hair, but at this moment, the gravel and sand were stained, and he looked very embarrassed.
