Chapter 20: The Secret Realm
Although I am a newcomer, I still have to be embarrassed to say: I ask you to collect and recommend. Wumian must work hard to repay everyone! ――
Early the next morning, after the maid came in to salute, she gave Liu Yue a white mesh bag, saying that this was called the Heavenly Silk Bag, and the essence of Yimu was born to raise. When encountering the soil, the water melts, and it is very good at escaping. However, all things in the world are born and restrain each other. It is said that the silk is the nemesis of the essence of Otogi. So if you want the essence of Otoki, this silk bag can't be missing. There will be one for every monk who goes to the secret realm. That's what the maid said.
Liu Yue looked at the silk bag, and quietly swept it with her divine sense, but found no problem. Although he still didn't feel at ease, he couldn't help it, after all, the cultivation of these maids was here, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so after receiving it in his storage bag, he followed the maids out of the courtyard.
When they arrived at the meeting room, after everyone had arrived, the Lord of Duanmu City took out the flying boat and took them to the secret realm. The flying boat is fully enclosed, and the body of the boat is made of materials that isolate the divine sense. Liu Yue was slandered in her heart, and she really didn't know what this Duanmu City Lord was hiding for. If you cover it like this, there must be ghosts.
After about a stick of incense, Liu Yue and his party came to the secret realm entrance, and when they got out of the flying boat, Liu Yue saw that the secret realm was full of monks, all of whom were those high-level servants who had been refining qi in Duanmu Mansion yesterday, and the two maids in Liu Yue's courtyard and the housekeeper in the foundation building period were also there.
At this time, I am afraid that it is not only Liu Yue who feels that something is wrong, the monk is already more suspicious by nature. Liu Yue's eyes swept over the corner of her eyes and found that the two couples glanced at each other, and their hands were held tighter. Originally, there was still some sound of conversation, but now there was no sound, and the twelve Qi Refining Cultivators didn't make any sound at all.
It's a pity that there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and people have made it clear that now they are only allowed to move forward and not retreat, and it is useless to think about anything. Liu Yue was absolutely sure that if any of these monks said that they would not participate now, the servants and the butler here would definitely not let him see the sun tomorrow. It's good that there are no such fools.
The city lord of Duanmu asked everyone to hang the silk bag on the belt, which was called convenient access, and because of his power, Liu Yue and the others could only tie the silk bag to the belt.
Seeing that the order was effectively implemented, the Duanmu City Lord hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction, and then carried the complicated fingers in his hand, muttering words in his mouth, and after a few breaths, he saw a circular hole suddenly appear in the air, and the secret realm opened.
Duanmu City Lord smiled and said to Liu Yue and the others: "The secret realm has been opened, and the secret realm will be closed when you enter." After three days, the secret realm will open again. At that time, the old man is waiting for you here. Everyone, please. Liu Yue and the others entered from the entrance of the secret realm, and after they all entered, sure enough, the entrance of the cave disappeared.
Liu Yue stood at the entrance of the secret realm, ready to receive the heavenly silk bag into her sleeve pocket. To her horror, no matter whether she recited the mantra or forcibly took the silk bag with her hands, she couldn't take it off. I can't even untie my belt. Liu Yue suddenly felt irritable, and sure enough, problems began to appear.
I also heard the monks who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and discussed the direction of their journey, and finally everyone agreed to avoid strife. To go in a different direction.
Liu Yue didn't care about this, so she casually chose a direction and walked away. It's a joke, isn't it possible to run into each other if you go in different directions? Wouldn't there be disputes when you encounter treasures?
Now she didn't have time to care about these things, she still had to think about how to take this bag down, and what the Duanmu City Lord was going to do when he tricked them into this secret realm. She believed that there would indeed be the essence of Otogi, and this Duanmu City Lord really needed it. It seems that there is no problem, it is obviously an ordinary thing to be entrusted by someone to get the reward you want after meeting the requirements of the main family. But the expressions and demeanor of the two maids last night, the wall that isolated the divine sense, the bulkhead of the flying boat, and the many monks standing at the gate of the secret realm, as well as this heavenly silk bag, gave Liu Yue a bad premonition everywhere.
This feeling has always caused her to tense her nerves and dare not slack off. Thinking about it, Liu Yue grabbed Xiaoguang out of the spirit beast bag, although Xiaoguang was also relatively weak, but over the years, Xiaoguang also had the cultivation of the eighth layer of qi refining. And she can feel the kindness and malice of others, in case she escapes, Xiaoguang can also help her.
As soon as he was caught, a long list of curses poured into Liu Yue's sea of knowledge. Liu Yue felt that her head was about to explode, so she hurriedly stopped it, grabbed Xiaoguang and told it the specific things in detail.
Xiaoguang squatted on Liu Yue's shoulder, stroked his smooth chin with his bare flesh-red wings, glanced at the silk bag, rolled his eyes nonchalantly and said: "It's all here, it's useless to think about it, who made you not vigilant." If only you had released me earlier. Maybe you won't have to go through this experience. Now that you've come to the secret realm, why don't you hurry up and see what treasures there are? I've told you how many times, it's a different fire. Did you listen to it? He jumped up again.
Liu Yue pouted: "You're so grumpy, baby?" This secret realm was originally owned by the Duanmu City Lord, if there was any treasure, it hadn't been looted by the City Lord first. Even if there were, it wasn't very precious. As for the alien fire, it's a real treasure, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry. ”
After speaking, ignoring Xiaoguang's wah-wow scream, he stuffed it into his sleeve again. Well, it's better to hide the trick of saving your life.
After calling Xiaoguang out, Liu Yue's heart calmed down a little. Only then did I have the heart to look at the environment of the secret realm. Well, it's all trees, and it's endless. I really don't know how big it is. The rustle of the leaves in the wind and the joyful chirping of birds. Liu Yue took a deep breath, only to feel that even the air was sweet, and the rich wood spirit qi was inhaled into the lung cavity, only to feel that the whole person was nourished by vitality.
Looking around, although there are no precious years of spirit grass, due to the extremely strong wood aura here, there are still many types of spirit grass, and there are even some species that are rare to see outside.
Although the vintage is insufficient, as long as it is well preserved, it can still be planted outside.
Liu Yue can't plant it herself, but she must be very happy if she can bring it to Wu Xiaolan. Thinking about it, Liu Yue found the jade hoe she used when she planted the spirit rice before, and prepared to dig out the spirit grass. As soon as she squatted down, before she could dig into it, Liu Yue only felt another strong fluctuation of spiritual power.
Someone is fighting not far away. Could it be that the spirit of Otogi has been found? It won't be so fast. Let's go check it out first. Liu Yue hurriedly got up and fled in the direction of the fighting method.
When they arrived at the place, they saw the couple fighting with the fat monk. That fat monk Wang Qiao's cultivation was not high in the first place, thanks to the fact that he had an umbrella-shaped defensive magic weapon. was able to fight evenly with Li Zhi and his wife. But gradually, he began to fall into the peak.
At this time, Liu Yue suddenly appeared. Wang Qiao immediately asked Liu Yue for help, "Liu Daoyou, if you help me at this time, how about I give me a treasure?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Jie also came, and Wang Qiao could only give up. Resist yourself. But it didn't take long for the other 7 Qi Refining Cultivators to also rush over, after all, it hadn't been long since they entered the secret realm, and everyone hadn't gone too far. The three people who were fighting saw that Liu Yue and the others were all invited, and a male cultivator who was also a bystander intervened and separated them from each other. The three of them could only give up for the time being.
Li Zhi said angrily: "This really doesn't blame us, this Yimu essence was met by us, and it was not easy to catch it, but I didn't expect this fat man to stick a bar horizontally and forcibly use his heavenly silk bag to collect it." ”
It turned out that not long after the husband and wife entered the secret realm, they saw a green shadow floating in front of them, which was very similar to the description of the record about the essence of Otogi that the Duanmu City Lord showed them.
The two of them suddenly realized that they were too lucky. So they continued to release the metallic aura, and finally, with their efforts, they caught the essence of Otogi.
I didn't know that I just wanted to put it into the heavenly silk bag, Wang Qiao suddenly appeared, and without saying hello, he collected the essence of Yimu.
How could the two of them be willing to give up, and immediately fought with Wang Qiao. thus luring Liu Yue and the others over.
After listening to Li Zhi's and his wife's narration, everyone's vision of Wang Qiao was wrong. One of the middle-aged female cultivators said: Wang Daoyou, so many of us are here for the essence of Otogi, since you got it so lightly, we won't say anything, but let's take a look at what this legendary essence of Otogi looks like.
Then Wang Qiao just wanted to say something. Suddenly, he froze, and his hands suddenly pressed on his neck. Both hands kept scratching their necks, and in just one effort, all they scratched were bloodstains. Uh-uh screamed, as if someone was stuck, and couldn't make any other sound. His face flushed. Then, suddenly, he rolled on the ground in pain......
Everyone was about to look forward, when the heavenly silk bag containing the essence of Otogi on his body suddenly flew out, flashing with a strange red light. This is Liu Yue suddenly felt that something on her body flew out uncontrollably, and when she looked up, it was actually a silk bag. Flashing white. Liu Yue found that she couldn't move at all, and her aura gushed out wildly. As far as the eye could see, the celestial silk bags of the surrounding monks flew out and emitted different lights.
A moment later, the Wang Qiao suddenly let out a terrible scream, and the person quickly dried up, turning into a dried corpse. At the same time, the twelve celestial silk bags and the essence of Otogi disappeared in front of him at the same time.
