Chapter 37: The resurrection of Xuan Zhenzi
Xuanxuzi took Xiao Buli and returned the same way, as the white light of the teleportation array of the Immortal Beast Island flashed, the brilliance dissipated, and the two of them appeared in the side hall of the Xuanxu Palace again.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Xiao Buli couldn't help but take a deep breath, the previous series of good fortunes in the fairy world made Xiao Buli gradually relax, and this time he returned to the Xuanxu Palace, his spirit tensed again.
He has not forgotten his mission, let alone what the senior brother has planned.
But to be honest, he is still somewhat resistant to the matter of plotting against the master, after all, the two of them can be regarded as a master-apprentice relationship, although Xuanxuzi is eccentric, but he is also passable, especially when Xuanxuzi saved himself once in the fairy world when he was in danger, thinking of this, Xiao Buli couldn't help but look at Xuanxuzi.
I saw that the old man was slightly tired between his eyebrows, and he didn't know if it was because the fairy world tour was too exhaustive, or because his body was too old. But no matter what, Xiao Buli knew that he was now ready to send an arrow, otherwise not only Gu Yuexuan's life would hang by a thread, but the answer to the cure of soul separation disorder that he was struggling to find would be unknown with the death of Xuan Zhenzi. Thinking of this, Xiao Buli gritted his teeth, bowed to Xuan Xuozi and said: "I am tired of the master going with the disciple this time, the disciple has gained some opportunities in the fairy world, so I will find a no-man's place to study it well, I wonder if the master has other things to order?" ”
After Xiao Buli's toss, Xuan Xuozi didn't seem to have the heart to look at Gu Yuexuan's affairs, and when he heard Xiao Buli say this, he only shook his head, and slowly walked back to the lotus throne in the main hall to meditate and rest.
Xiao Buli didn't bother when he saw it, he immediately rushed out, out of the main hall, Xiao Buli went straight to the residence of the senior brother, but he hadn't walked far, and suddenly remembered the voice of the demon in his ears, at such a tense moment, this sudden sound really scared Xiao Buli.
"In such a hurry? Do you think you'll find a way to get rid of me by killing Xuanxuzi? Naive! "The voice of the demon is as indifferent as possible. But Xiao Buli knew that if he wasn't afraid in his heart, he wouldn't be in a hurry to shake his confidence.
He snorted coldly in his heart and ignored him.
"Why don't you believe it? Even if you're sure that the doppelganger will be able to separate me, do you know how much pain you're going to endure? Split souls, do you know what kind of torture it is? The heart demon didn't seem to give up, and still kept saying: "But I'm happy to see it, after your soul splits, your ability is much smaller than now, look at Xuan Xuozi, hehehe, it's not necessarily a good thing to leave you, with what I'm seeing now, I'm afraid that I will be greater than Xuan Xuozi's achievements at that time, and it's impossible for you to defeat me at that time, and it's not the same as being slowly devoured by me, so why struggle?" ”
"You're enough, don't fucking talk nonsense with me." Xiao Buli was worried about the progress of the senior brother at this time, so his tone was also very unkind.
"Haha, swearing? It seems that your cultivation is really not enough, and I don't know if you can be as quiet as Xuan Zhenzi when the time comes, and you know how to issue tasks to others to help collect souls. The voice of the heart demon contained contempt, which made Xiao Buli's mind irritable. But he knew that this was the effect that the demon wanted, so he took a deep breath and slowly calmed down: "Are you afraid of disturbing me so impatiently now?" If so, I'd better get out of my body as soon as possible, and perhaps I can be merciful enough to get you a body that is not so shabby. If I wait until I get you out myself, you'll be destroyed. In the last few words, Xiao Buli gritted his teeth and revealed his fierce appearance.
"Senior brother, who are you talking to?" The sound of thorns suddenly sounded beside him, and it turned out that he had unconsciously walked near the beast pen.
"Oh, Second Senior Brother, it's nothing, I'm talking to myself, Second Senior Brother, have you received any new divine beasts recently?" Xiao Buli hurriedly diverted the topic with a perfunctory sentence, for fear that thorns would get to the bottom of it.
Sure enough, when Thorn heard the topic of the divine beast, his eyes immediately lit up, "We only met a few days ago, where have I gone to find those good things in the past few days, but I heard that the junior brother was fortunate to go to the fairy world with the master, I don't know if I have caught any powerful fairy beasts?" ”
Xiao Buli heard this, and said in his heart that if he usually had this time, he could show off, but today the matter was urgent, and he had made an appointment with the senior brother to launch it in the past two days, so it was still important to get down to business, thinking of this, he said to the second senior brother: "Hehe, my little ability The second senior brother doesn't know not to mention the fairy beast, even if he encounters a powerful person in the human world, he has to walk around, where is the second senior brother so powerful, but I learned the flying sword in the fairy world, don't you rush to find the senior brother for guidance." ”
What he said was reasonable, and Jing Tingxin said it too, but he was not very optimistic about Xiao Buli going to the senior brother for advice: "Senior brother, I'm afraid it's not so easy to talk, I wish you good luck." ”
Xiao Buli hurriedly said goodbye to Jing Thorn, and then came to the residence of the senior brother, outside a bamboo building Xiao Buxing said that there seemed to be a play, only to see that the seal arranged outside the bamboo building by the senior brother who was afraid of disturbing had been removed, and the bamboo building had returned to its original appearance. It looks like the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Xiao Buli's heart jumped wildly when he saw it, and it seemed that the time to come was finally coming.
Walked to the door and stretched out his hand to push it, only to feel that the green light on the door flashed, and I didn't know what method the senior brother used, the bamboo door was pushed open but it was not the hall where Xiao Buli and the senior brother drank tea before, the black and swarthy had a bit of a mysterious feeling, and a two-meter-square tunnel entrance on the ground opposite the door was impressive, it seemed that the bamboo building was just to cover up this entrance, Xiao Buli was confused, and he didn't know that the elegant hall he saw before was the original face of the bamboo building, Or is this pitch-black cave-like location the original situation in the bamboo building, but I think it's all the spells used by the senior brother.
There is no instant communication tool in this game, and there is no way to notify or call the senior brother in advance, although Xiao Buli feels weird, but he also knows that he has been walking down the passage head-on, the passage is a little damp, and a pungent smell of oil smoke fills Xiao Buli's nasal cavity, but fortunately, an oil lamp was lit not far away, and it is estimated that the smell of oil smoke came from the oil lamp, and walked down about ten meters, and the stairs went to the end, followed by the passage parallel to the ground, But fortunately, it has always been a straight line, and I don't get lost, and I don't know what the meaning of this passage is.
Because I don't know if there is danger inside, Xiao Buli has been on alert, and his steps are not very fast, he finally came to the end of the passage after walking for a few minutes, but there is a gate across there, and there is a rune armor standing at the door, this kind of rune armor is the same as the rune pet in the hand of Gu Yuexuan that Xiao Buli met in the fairy world before, it looks vulnerable on the surface, this kind of thing is not strong in combat, it is estimated that standing here only plays a warning role, since the rune armor is still intact, Xiao Buli felt that the senior brother should be inside.
"Senior brother?" Xiao Buli lowered his voice and shouted into the door, this gloomy environment gave people an instinctive feeling of depression, as if he was doing something sneaky.
"You're back, the door is open, come in yourself." Gu Yuexuan's voice came out of the door, although the voice was loud, Xiao Buli could hear it, and his voice looked extremely tired.
Xiao Buli got the instructions of the senior brother and hurriedly walked towards the door, probably under the command of the senior brother, and the rune armor outside the door did not react to Xiao Buli's passage.
Push open the door, the basement room area is not large, only about a dozen square meters, one of the furnaces, the fire under the furnace seems to have just been extinguished, the charcoal fire has some vague sparks, the senior brother sat cross-legged on a futon next to him, in the innermost part of the basement, there was another person also meditating cross-legged, Xiao Buli looked carefully, but it was a Taoist priest with a clear face, wearing a soapy blue robe, with three small characters on his head, it was Xuan Zhenzi.
"Senior brother, have you succeeded?" Xiao Buli immediately asked happily when he saw it.
"Well, this is Xuan Zhenzi's senior." Senior Brother introduced Xiao Buli. "Daoist Xuan Zhenzi, this is my junior brother, and he is the one who assists me in helping you complete the task."
That Xuan Zhenzi opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Buli, smiled slightly, and nodded.
When Xiao Buli saw it, he immediately arched his hand at Xuan Zhenzi and said, "Dao Chief, you have completed the expulsion of the demons now?" ”
That Xuan Zhenzi seemed to be quite amused when he heard it, and looked at Xiao Buli with a smile for a while, as if he wanted to figure out what the purpose of his question was, Xiao Buli was anxious for a while, so he went straight to the question he was most concerned about, but this question made Xuan Zhenzi see through what he was thinking.
After a while, Xuan Zhenzi spoke: "Not yet, because there is still a difference in the return of the heart demon, so the heat is still a little worse, but your senior brother Gu Yuexuan has already told me the general situation just now, and then I have to rely on your senior brother to help." ”
Xiao Bu was still one step away from hearing this, knowing that it was not so easy to expel the demons in his heart.
"Senior brother, where have you been on this day? Why don't you come and tell me about the situation outside? Gu Yuexuan asked Xiao Buli. It seems that Gu Yuexuan has been working on the practice of returning to the soul of Xuan Zhenzi for this day and night, and he has no time to understand the outside world.
Xiao Buli hurriedly said: "The day before yesterday, I went to see the master, but I didn't want the master to come over to question you because you didn't ask him to go back to the palace, I was in a hurry for a while, so I spent a thousand contribution points to ask the master to take me to the fairy world together, which coaxed him to delay this time, and now the master just came back and seems to be a little tired, and he is resting in the main hall." ”
"Well, junior brother, you did a good job." Gu Yuexuan nodded immediately when he heard this, I heard that you have learned the sword technique, senior brother is here to congratulate you, it just so happens that I have another sword experience here, which is my experience of the sword art on weekdays, so I will give it to you.
At this time, Xiao Buli suddenly heard the system prompt: Complete the delaying task, Gu Yuexuan's favorability will increase by 100 points, and he will get the "Edgeworth Notes".
Eh~, Xiao Buli almost forgot that Gu Yuexuan, who he had received, delayed his master's task, and hurriedly opened the package to see that there was a book with simple packaging,
Use Edgeworth's Notes to increase your Edgeworth Realm level by one level, and use this item to upgrade up to 'Human-Sword Integration'.
It's really sleepy and someone immediately sent a pillow, but this thing is more affordable than other rewards, and it can directly improve a level of swordsmanship, but you have to seize the opportunity to use it again.
"Senior brother," Gu Yuexuan recalled Xiao Buli, who had lost his mind, "Senior brother, you know the state of the master better, what do you think we should do in this situation, should we kill the past directly, or think of some way?" ”
"Me? This ...... "Xiao Buli heard that he had an idea, but he didn't care for a while, and said that you two have been idle here for so long, haven't you thought about what to do next?"
That Xuan Zhenzi heard Gu Yuexuan's question at this time, but said, "I am not sure of winning if I kill him directly." ”
One sentence made Gu Yuexuan and Xiao Buli's hearts immediately cold by half, and after spending so much effort that he couldn't help it in the end, what could he do.
"However," Xuan Zhenzi said with a deep groan, "In the end, he is my inner demon, judging from the strength of the two of us now, I may not be his opponent, but as long as he returns to the soul state, with the strength of my current soul, I have the determination to win." ”
Xiao Buxuan said that you have become an NPC, how can you gasp a lot when you speak, now I know, Xuan Zhenzi is going to use the rules of the doppelganger incarnation ** to pay Xuan Xuozi, although Xuan Xuozi has greatly increased his skills because he has taken away the sacrifice of others, but once he recovers his soul state, he will immediately succumb to Xuan Zhenzi, who has condensed the rest of his personality.
But "Xuan Xuzi is not stupid, how can he be so easy." Xiao Buli said the worry in his heart.
"Hehe, that's right, he may not give in when he sees me, but doesn't he want a young body, I'll give him a young body today." After saying that, Xuan Zhenzi wiped his face, and he instantly turned into Gu Yuexuan's appearance.
Xiao Buli immediately understood in his heart when he saw it, Gu Yuexuan helped Xuan Zhenzi complete the task of collecting soul fragments, mainly because Xuan Xuozi chose himself as his object of seizure, since this is the case, Xuan Zhenzi has become Gu Yuexuan, so as long as Xuan Xuozi believes that he is Gu Yuexuan, he will inevitably use the method of snatching to enter Gu Yuexuan's body, so wouldn't he answer Xuan Zhenzi's request to make Xuan Xuanxuan become a soul state.
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Xuan Xuozi meditated in the hall, it was not difficult for him to go to the fairy world in the past, but this time it seemed to make him feel tired, Xuan Xuozi knew that the limit of this body was approaching, it was time to get rid of it as soon as possible, Xuan Xuozi's heart was turning around, his brows were locked for a while, and he relaxed for a while, and his expression was a little distorted.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came in from outside, "Master, it's not good. Xiao shouted loudly when he was far away. (To be continued.) )
