The physical realm, the spiritual realm, and the soul realm are the three major realms recognized by all the monks in the world.

Yan Xiaoying told me that the judgment of the physical realm can actually be divided by strength, for example, ordinary people can only have a strength of 100 to 200 catties, which is the early stage of the physical realm.

If it exceeds this realm, the strength of more than 500 catties is the middle stage of the body realm, and the strength of 1,000 catties is the late stage of the body realm.

She said that the physical environment can be improved by training to break through the limits of one's strength, and it can also be improved by taking natural treasures.

Yan Xiaoying was in the middle stage of the body realm before, and after taking the Spirit Infant Fruit, she directly skipped the late stage of the body realm and reached the early stage of the spirit realm.

When you reach the spiritual realm, all the microscopic worlds will be magnified, you can see some things that ordinary people can't see, and you can also hook the aura between heaven and earth and cast spells.

For example, the Evergreen Daoist of the Evergreen View is the initial strength of the Spirit Realm.

At the beginning, the Jiao Snake was also considered a physical realm, but it was just the ultimate category of the physical realm, so Lu Ji of the Heavenly Master's Mansion could cut off its head.

She told me that if I want to be able to control the mountain whip with ease, I must improve my strength to the spiritual realm. Otherwise, the whip was only a weapon in my hands before that. And after reaching the spiritual realm, the mountain whip is a spiritual weapon.

There is a considerable difference between weapons and spiritual weapons.

It's the first time I've heard such a statement, so I've listened very carefully, if Yan Xiaoying said this, wouldn't her grandma have the strength of more than a thousand catties?

It's hard to imagine that a thin old woman can have such strength, if she is allowed to participate in sports competitions, wouldn't she be able to easily win the championship?

Of course, this is just my own whimsy.

"The Spirit Infant Fruit was originally prepared for you by your grandfather, don't worry, you gave me the Spirit Infant Fruit, and I will definitely find a way to help you improve your strength in the future."

Yan Xiaoying said to me with a serious face: "You helped me avenge it, I will definitely remember this kindness." After marrying the mountain god Niangniang and being trapped in the whirlpool of the Daomen, he can't protect himself without enough strength. Before you are strong enough, let me protect you for the time being. ”

When I saw that Yan Xiaoying was serious and said that she wanted to protect me, I couldn't help but feel a blush, and said, "That...... Don't say that...... It makes me feel like I'm a soft rice eater, how embarrassing. ”

Yan Xiaoying covered her mouth and chuckled: "Marrying the mountain god Niangniang, in the eyes of everyone, you are a person who eats soft rice." ”

I spread my hands and said helplessly: "I don't care what others think, as for the improvement of strength, this kind of thing is not in a hurry." The most important thing now is to find the ghost lantern and wake up the old fatty. ”

The two of us didn't dwell on this issue, patrolling the lakes on both sides and maintaining a high level of vigilance.

As Lin Miao said, those willow ghosts hiding inside the willow tree did not appear, but the wind was blowing and screaming constantly, which made people panic in their hearts.

The willow grove that grows in the lake covers a large area, and the surrounding area is shrouded in mist, and the scenery is the same everywhere, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction.

But Lin Miao seemed to know the direction and kept holding the boat towards a certain place.

Half an hour later, we finally came out of the willow forest, and the front became open, the lake was spraying, the water was clear, but there was no bottom to be seen, and there was a deep place below.

Occasionally, you can see schools of fish swimming under the raft, which is very leisurely.

The smoke is hazy, and the boating is very meaningful.

According to the time estimate, we have reached the area of the deep lake by this time. The bamboo raft space is narrow, and there are smoke waves everywhere around.

I was a little worried, I didn't know if there were any strange fish in the lake that suddenly overturned our bamboo raft.

Obviously, I was overthinking.

Time passed quickly, and as the sun set near dusk, the glow finally broke through the smoke and landed on the surface of the lake.

As the surrounding fog gradually dispersed, it was slowly eroded by the night.

Only at the turn of day and night, can the entire burial lake have a short period of time to clearly present its true appearance to the world.

The surface of the lake reflects the surrounding mountains, and the setting sun drifts in the water, and the clouds stain half of the sky red, and the lake water is also dyed red.

The wind stopped, the fog lifted, and the boaters in the lake continued on their way.

"Tianyan, look! The meadow floating in the lake appeared. Yan Xiaoying pointed to the lake in front of her and suddenly spoke.

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, I saw a floating meadow, which was so close to us, less than a hundred meters away.

But it's so close, if the fog doesn't disperse, it still can't be found.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, I realized that it was not just a meadow, but a tall tree, a dirt slope, and a tall rock.

It's clearly an island in a lake!

Around it are many haystacks that grow on the surface of the water, and the island is surrounded by these haystacks, giving the impression that it is floating on the surface of the lake.

In fact, the location of the island is fixed in the lake, and only the haystacks that surround it move.

After Lin Miao paddled the bamboo raft in, the lush blades of grass covered our eyes, and we could no longer see the island surrounded by the haystack in the center.

"It's a natural labyrinth barrier, and ordinary people can't get into that island at all." Yan Xiaoying frowned and looked at the fluttering haystacks around her, and said to Lin Miao.

Lin Miao glanced at Yan Xiaoying and said, "A long time ago, the Gaoshan Country surpassed other small countries in its glory, and later the thirty-six countries of the Hundred Yue Land united with foreign powers to attack the Gaoshan Country. In that battle, the mountain country was defeated, the people were brutally killed by the enemy, and the remaining women and children fled to this place, hiding on this hidden island, surviving for a long time. ”

He paused, with a look of remembrance on his face, and continued: "'They' are hiding in this place, multiplying, training soldiers and horses, and looking forward to killing them one day. But not long after...... They suddenly discover that this is a cursed island. All the people who live on this island have been cursed by that vicious curse and have become murderous and bloodthirsty monsters. The Alpine tribe was destroyed, not by the enemy, but by that terrible curse. ”

The thirty-six countries that Lin Miao mentioned do not all refer to one country, but one ethnic group, and some of them are not many, just like our current fifty-six ethnic groups.

In fact, in ancient times, there were not only so few ethnic groups, but with the progress of society and the passage of time, some ethnic groups in some countries have long disappeared into the dust of history.

For example, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions represented by Loulan, Xiye, Yelang, Cheshi Qianguo, Wusun, etc., all of them were destroyed.

Lin Miao is a remnant of the Gaoshan Clan, and for this mysterious clan, he naturally knows much more secrets than us.

In a sense, he is the history book of the Gaoshan tribe.

In fact, I was a little puzzled in my heart, because when I was studying, I once learned that in fact, there are people called Gaoshan people on the island on the shore of the South China Sea, and there are not a few people.

But why did Lin Miao say that the Gaoshan clan was extinct? Could it be that the Gaoshan tribe he is talking about is not the same ethnic group as the Gaoshan tribe on the island in the South China Sea?

Perhaps this is the only explanation.

"What kind of curse have the mountain people fallen on here?" At this time, Yan Xiaoying asked Lin Miao curiously.

"An evil and ancient curse, we call it a Gu curse!"

Lin Miao said, suddenly unbuttoning her jacket, revealing her chest.

Seeing him suddenly untie his shirt, we Yan Xiaoying were all stunned, but when we saw his chest, we all exclaimed in surprise.

His skin was very white, frighteningly white.

But it wasn't his skin that struck us, but the strange red veins on his chest. It looked like blood veins floating on the epidermis of the skin, forming a strange pattern.

What's even more weird is that the red blood veins are still wriggling, as if something is swimming in it, which looks shocking and unbelievable.

"What is this? How could such a strange bloodline appear in your body? I asked, horrified, with a dry mouth.

"It's a Gu spell!"

Lin Miao put on his clothes and said, "This is the curse of the Gaoshan Clan, what you just saw swimming on the surface of my skin is a strange creature, equivalent to a Gu worm. It can make people lose their minds, grow red hair all over their bodies, and turn into bloodthirsty and cruel monsters. ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in disbelief, "But you...... Didn't turn into a monster. ”

"That's because I stole the treasure of Tianlong Village, it was a living Gu King, and I kept it in my body, which can temporarily suppress this strange creature from burrowing into my heart. But over the years, the Gu King has gradually fallen to the upper hand, and my attacks have become more and more frequent. Only by taking the three-life grass can this kind of thing be killed and the curse lifted. Lin Miao said faintly, the expression on her face did not change.

It's hard to imagine that all these years, there has been a strange and strange creature burrowing around his body. I don't know, but it must be painful to think about.

But he doesn't change his face to us at the moment.

Crash! Crash!

While we were talking, there was a sudden sound of water on the haystack beside us.

"Be careful, there's something in this aquatic weed."

Yan Xiaoying reminded loudly, quickly drew her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the haystack where the sound of water came.

Lin Miao, on the other hand, held a bamboo pole in her hand and quickly pulled away from the spot.

At that moment, the grass suddenly flipped open, and a strange creature appeared under the water.

I don't know what it was, but it showed a three-meter-long brownish back, which was huge, and chased after our bamboo raft in the waves.

"Water monsters!"

I exclaimed, scrambling, and paddling help.

Yan Xiaoying, on the other hand, suddenly jumped to the end of the bamboo raft, half-knelt on the bamboo raft, and drew her bow to shoot arrows at the chasing water monster.

She shot her arrows very quickly, and within a few minutes, she had shot most of the arrows in the quiver.

And the monster in the water, with countless arrows in its body, finally gradually lost its voice.

Lin Miao put the penny in the water,

With the help of haystacks on both sides, stop the castration of the bamboo raft.

We steadied the raft and looked behind us, only to see a huge monster corpse gradually floating up from under the water......
