The summer rain is temporarily stopped, and the air in Changlu Town, where the rain has passed, is exceptionally fresh, and the trees and flowers on both sides of the cloud and street are growing wildly, I don't know if it is because of the abundant spiritual power or other reasons, those plants are showing extremely vigorous vitality.

Time passed quickly, a few months had passed since the Formation Division's meeting, and Xiaobao had lived in Langyuan for a few days.

In the courtyard outside the green garden, a few finches were jumping in the treetops, chirping to attract the attention of their partners.

In order to be quiet, Lang Yuanwai withstood the pressure from the old lady and the old lady, and finally sent Lang Zhuangzhuang to the academy last month.

Before leaving, Lang Zhuang was lifeless and took away one-third of Xiaobao's dried spiritual flesh, which was called seeing things and thinking about people. It is estimated that it will be eaten in a few days, and I still think about it. Thinking that the little kid wouldn't be able to see him for a while, he got his wish.

Xiaobao wanted to go back, but was left in Langyuan by the enthusiastic Mrs. Lang, every day to live a beautiful life of clothes to stretch out her hand, food to open her mouth, in addition to accompanying Mrs. Lang from time to time to chatter about homely things, but also occasionally accompanied by red sleeves to go shopping to relieve boredom, coincidentally under the careful training of Mrs. Lang, but also learned to make perfumes, excellent talent so that the old lady is full of praise.

On this day, accompanied by the red sleeves, Xiaobao bought fresh spirit grass juice from Yunhe Street as usual and drank it in a deep and shallow sip. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Lang Garden, he was hurriedly invited to the hall by the little guy outside Lang Yuan.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Xiaobao felt that the atmosphere was wrong, the air in the huge space should be extremely fresh, but Xiaobao was a little depressed and breathless.

I saw the two old men of the Lang family sitting in the middle of the hall, with serious expressions and different expressions, and the Lang Yuanwai next to him and Qi Ziyan behind him looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.

Xiaobao faintly felt as if something bad had happened, and his heartbeat couldn't help but be faster, but he still politely saluted the old lady and the two.

"Old lady, old lady, Xiaobao has greeted you two. 」

"Get up, good boy, and sit down with Grandma. Mrs. Lang's face was full of distress, and she beckoned to Xiaobao gently.

Hearing this, Xiaobao walked to Mrs. Lang's side, sat down unusually well-behaved, but didn't speak, just looked at Lang and waited quietly.

Lang Yuan on the side saw Xiaobao sitting down, first rubbed his hands, then stroked the handful of goatee on his chin, and hesitated again and again before speaking.

"Xiaobao, there's something Uncle wants to tell you... It's about your mom and dad... Of course, this is just speculation, so don't worry after you hear it..."

"Hmm... Uncle, please. Xiaobao's face was slightly pale, his little hand tightened, and he said softly.

"It's just... When your father and mother left, did they tell you where they were going?"

"I didn't say it very specifically, uncle, I remember saying that it was in a secret place in the far north..."

"Oh... I see..."

"Uncle, is my father and mother here?"

"Uh... No... Xiaobao, when your father left, he left a soul lamp with me..."

"Soul lamp? What's that?"

"Hmm... This soul lamp is a spiritual weapon that is connected to the life of the master... We cultivators, we usually put a soul lamp in the ancestral hall of the family and the master's family, and the soul power of this spirit lamp is connected to the soul power of the body... If... If something happens to someone, the soul lamp will go out..."

「... Uncle... What's wrong with my father!" Xiaobao stood up suddenly, his mouth slightly open, his eyebrows frowned, and he asked in disbelief.

"Xiaobao, don't worry, child, listen to Uncle tell you in detail..."

So, Lang Yuanwai told him about the things entrusted by Xiao Bao's father in the wooden house that day.

It turns out that the secret realm in the extreme north is the most dangerous and mysterious among the secret realms of the Five Spirit Continent. Legend has it that it connects the secret space of the ancient powers, and some people say that it is actually a connecting passage to another world.

There have been people who have been lucky enough to obtain the cultivation inheritance from ancient times from this secret realm, and some people have obtained the magic medicine of longevity and rebirth.

Every time the secret realm is opened, countless cultivators will flock to it, all in order to obtain the so-called practice inheritance. Of course, there are also people like Xiao Bao's father and mother, who go to it to find a panacea that can wash the muscles and marrow and prolong life.

The elixir was born, the demons were dancing wildly, and the world of cultivators was cruel and realistic, and in order to seize a glimmer of life, killing was inevitable. Therefore, in the process of competing for the elixir, he was either injured by the mechanism killing array in the secret realm, or killed by the spirit beast guarding the town, or killed by a cultivator with the same purpose, and all kinds of accidents could happen at any time.

As early as when the two of them left, they handed over one of their soul lamps to Lang Yuanwai.

Originally, this soul lamp had been lit all the time. As a result, a few days ago, Lang Yuanwai found that the flickering light had changed drastically, so he told the little guy to keep an eye on it in the morning and evening, and report any abnormalities at any time.

As a result, yesterday, when the little black man was routinely checking, he found that there was no shadow of the soul fire, so he was shocked and shouted again and again that the lights were out! The lights were out!

Lang Yuanwai was almost scared out of a heart attack, and when he looked closely, the soul power breath in the lamp was indeed almost invisible, if it weren't for the fact that this spiritual power fire flickered occasionally, even he thought it had been extinguished.

Lang Yuanwai was shocked for a while, and it was difficult to judge if he had never encountered this situation, so he hurriedly woke up the sleeping old lady Lang and the old lady to study together.

Several people spent a long time late at night, and they didn't discuss the reason, so Lang Yuanwai went to the Lingjiang's Mansion overnight to ask the Lingjiang for advice.

Suppressing the breath of getting up, the spirit general gave two speculations with sleepy eyes.

The first is the kind of scenario that is usually imagined, that is, Xiaobao's father and mother have encountered an accident.

The second is that Xiao Bao's father and mother have entered the unknowable places in the secret realm, those regions are isolated from the world, and there is a mysterious array of blocking breath, so it is inevitable that the soul lamp will lose contact.

"Then where is my father's soul lamp?" asked Xiaobao with some eagerness.

"No, here. With a wave of his hand, the little man on the side carefully lifted up a simple-shaped soul lamp and placed it on the round table on the right side of the inner hall.

"Uncle Lam, are you saying that my father and mother have encountered an accident?" Xiaobao walked to the table in three steps and two steps, stared at the spirit lamp for a while, and then turned his head and asked.

"Huh... The same cannot be said ... But it's really faint ... So I don't dare to draw conclusions..."Lang Yuanwai continued, his words full of unbearable color. "Your father told me before... This trip is very dangerous, light a soul lamp just in case..."

Xiaobao bit her lower lip, her face suddenly turned a little paler, and she was silent for a while, then she looked at the people around her with unusually serious eyes, and said in an affirmative tone, "My father and mother, they must be the second case. 」

"Yes, yes, the old body also thinks it is... Your father and mother are both amazing in cultivation, and they must have been fascinated by the big array in the secret realm, and they were blocked from their vitality..."

Red Sleeves also echoed, "The two seniors are detached in cultivation and have profound blessings, and they will definitely turn the danger into a disaster, Miss Xiaobao must not worry too much..."

Although everyone said a word and I said a word, they all comforted Xiaobao that it must be the second case, but Xiaobao never said anything. Without personal confirmation, she would not easily believe that something had happened to her father and mother.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn for a while, and the attendants and maids who were guarding the side all lowered their eyes, and couldn't bear to look at the back of the hall that was a little thin and trembling slightly. Even the finches, who used to chirp outside the hall courtyard, stayed in the treetops unusually quietly, as if they felt a little sorry for what happened to Xiaobao.
