Chapter 24: The Trap
79 Readings. Read. "How is it possible, I hate you a little now, maybe I will contact you again, I hate you even more,"
I said with a very serious face, but my heart was full of joy, I didn't expect that Nangong Lingzhu, who had cultivated to a high level, was so simple, and was deceived by me so easily, stinky girl, I don't believe you won't change your mind and like me,
"Whoever wants to contact you emotionally, Chen Xiaojiu, I tell you, you are not allowed to speak lightly again, if you commit it again, I will immediately shatter the Soul Gathering Bottle and let you disappear directly from this world,"
Nangong Lingzhu said, really raised his hand, I hurriedly waved my hands, and hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, this time I said it wrong, next time I will designate a good speech, don't rely on your own cultivation to bully people, it's okay to bully people, it's not okay to come out of the big sect, look at me, look at yourself, why is the gap so big......"
"Chen Xiaojiu, you,"
Nangong Lingzhu pointed at me angrily, and I immediately shrank into the corner and grinned,
Enjoying the filling of soul incense, and watching Nangong Lingzhu upset by my words, I suddenly lay down in the soul gathering bottle beautifully, and hummed a small tune leisurely,
"Don't make a sound, it's hard to hear,"
As soon as he hummed two sentences, he was stopped by Nangong Lingzhu,
"Uh...... I hum a minor tune that is difficult for even my master to hear, and now I regard you as my best friend, and if you are not happy to hum a minor tune to you, then I will not hum it...... But you hate me so much anyway, and it doesn't matter if I hate you more,"
As I spoke, I continued to hum a minor tune, and Nangong Lingzhu turned around helplessly and ignored me,
After a while, the master and the fat immortal came back, and the two of them then filled it with water, and the master's big wine gourd, it is estimated that it is full of water, and the fat immortal is also carrying a big water bladder, and a small water bladder in his hand, he came to him and handed the small water bladder to Nangong Lingzhu,
"Nangong girl, although there is little water, we still have it on us, and it will not be enough for you to speak, hehe,"
The fat fairy smiled gently,
"This water is enough, thank you for the care of the fat seniors, Lingzhu has the care of two seniors, it is a blessing for three lives,"
Nangong Lingzhu smiled and thanked the fat immortal, turned to look at me, and said, "Senior Zhang, the junior has a reluctant request, I don't know ......."
"Hahaha...... Nangong girl might as well say it directly, why are you still polite to the two of us old guys,"
Master smiled heartily,
"The younger generation knows that this way forward, it is inevitable that they will encounter all kinds of dangerous things, thanks to the care of the senior Zhang and the fat senior, the younger generation is grateful, but I want to find an opportunity to repay the two seniors, now the disciple of the senior Zhang Chen Xiaojiu has turned into a spirit body, and needs soul incense offerings, it is better for the younger generation to take this soul gathering bottle with him, although he can't help the two seniors along the way, this little favor is more than enough,"
Nangong Lingzhu told the master the matter reasonably, and even I had to admire Nangong Lingzhu for being a strange woman with both talent and appearance.
“…… You guys...... Hehe, there is no need to say anything about repayment, but although the apprentice is pure and kind-hearted, he is very stubborn, I am afraid that he will snub you Nangong girl,"
Master and the fat immortal couldn't help but be a little shocked when they heard that Nangong girl was going to take care of me alone, but Master was just surprised for a moment, and then smiled indifferently,
"Master...... How can there be a master like you who says that your apprentice is not good in front of outsiders all day long...... It's really ......."
I pouted angrily and said depressedly,
"You, you stinky boy doesn't know what to say to Nangong girl, but you actually ...... Alas, since Nangong girl has this intention, then it is up to you, but if you encounter a disciple along the way, you can punish him at will,"
As the master spoke, he nodded,
Nangong Lingzhu thanked the master, then picked up the Soul Gathering Bottle from the stone, and said angrily with a red face to me: "If I find out that you have deceived me, I will definitely make you look good,"
"What did Miss Nangong say, didn't you hear what my master said, saying that I have a pure heart, in this case, how could I lie to you, besides, what good is it for me to lie to you,"
I retorted against the object,
"The benefits, naturally, are ...... to you Too lazy to pay attention to you,"
Nangong Lingzhu tied the Soul Gathering Bottle around his waist and stepped forward to ask, "Two seniors, now that we are ready, why don't we set off immediately?"
"So good,"
The master and the fat immortal agreed in unison, and the three of them immediately marched towards the primeval forest known as the "Ten Thousand Miles of Soul Sea", three miles away, and soon arrived, in front of them, it was the entrance of the big forest, although they had not yet entered, they could already smell a primordial smell that seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years...... Bloody and desolate, beasts dancing wildly,
Walking into the periphery of the big forest, everything around is not as terrifying as previously imagined, but the warbler sings and dances, as if coming to a paradise, and in the shade of the sun refracted by the trees, the scenery is pleasant, some antique primitive taste,
Not only that, but I can clearly sense a rich aura that permeates here,
"Master, there are no mountains or water here, how can there be such a strong aura,"
I deeply absorbed the aura in the air, and felt that this soul gathering bottle was simply a cornucopia, and the speed of condensing the aura was also extremely fast, so that I could not enjoy it endlessly.
"Hehe, Xiaojiu, don't you know, everything in heaven and earth has spirituality, these thousands of years old trees, they are condensed with the essence of heaven and earth, full of aura, plus so many ancient trees, naturally the aura is not dispersed, extremely rich, but this is only the periphery of the big forest, if you go to the inner perimeter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sense these aura,"
The fat immortal smiled mildly and patiently explained,
"By the way, since the aura can be condensed and not dispersed, even for thousands of years, is the cultivation hidden in the person's body the same as this aura, and will not dissipate?"
I thought for a moment and asked,
"This question is not easy to answer, it can only vary from person to person, some people can inherit the spiritual power of previous lives, and some people can't, just because the supernatural power is its own, in fact, the spiritual power of the previous life is not superimposed, but awakens to the original thing, why can't some people, just because some people are obsessed with deep roots, and the original spiritual power is blinded by karma, so they can't manifest, let alone wake up, Xiaojiu, do you want to awaken the cultivation of previous lives,"
The fat fairy looked at me curiously,
"Is there any way for me to awaken the cultivation of previous lives?"
I continued,
"Naturally, there is, just one Awakening Soul Pill, not only will you wake up all the memories of your previous lives, but you can also recover all your Taoist cultivation in your previous lives, but although the cultivation is recovered, the memories of several lives are awakened and superimposed, so many memories, all awakened at once, is a very painful thing, my master said, doing this, will outweigh the losses......"
Nangong Lingzhu glanced at me suspiciously, and then said seriously,
"But I know what happened in my previous lives, so why didn't I feel any pain?"
I thought about it in confusion, it was true that there was no pain at all, but when I saw those scenes, many times I couldn't help but shed tears, of course, those tears even I don't know why they flowed,
"Hehe, Xiaojiu, you are not waking up, but the method of 'dreaming and contemplating', just seeing, but you can't experience it yourself, because the memories of your previous lives have not been awakened at all, so the corresponding cultivation naturally can't be retrieved,"
The fat fairy laughed happily,
"Soul Awakening Pill, Nangong girl, do you have this Soul Awakening Pill,"
I hurriedly asked Nangong Lingzhu,
"The treasure of the sect will never be passed on,"
Nangong Lingzhu just left a sentence and stopped paying attention to me,
"Be careful,"
At this moment, the master suddenly shouted, stretched out his hand to push the fat immortal away, but it was too late, and Nangong Lingzhu's eyes dodged quickly, I looked hurriedly, and found that the fat immortal was stepping on a quaint rope at his feet, he looked up, only to see a pile of big stones, being carried by a net, and smashed down heavily,
"Bang,"
The fat fairy frowned, waved his hand and took out two Qiankun hammers, collided with the pile of stones head-on, and smashed a few big stones away in response, before he could stop, the half in front of him, a sharp wooden stake hanging from a rope, pierced like lightning, the fat fairy was shocked, and quickly fell to the ground, narrowly dodging again,
"Woo woo ...... ......"
"Run,"
The master shouted loudly, so the figures of the three flashed, rushing forward as fast as arrows, because if they were not as fast as arrows, they would not be able to dodge the rows of sharp arrows that were chasing behind them, and the sharp arrows shot by those unknown mechanisms followed the footsteps of the three of them, and they chased after them quickly, until they were more than ten zhang away, and they did not stop, however, as soon as the fat immortal and Nangong Lingzhu stopped, they felt that their feet were like duckweed,
"There are traps under your feet,"
When the fat immortal shouted this sentence, the whole person had already sunk, and sure enough, there was a false trap around him, and there was a big pit below, Nangong Lingzhu's body rose lightly, turned over and sat on the tree, and at this moment, the master grabbed the fat immortal who was trapped in the trap, and the fat immortal looked down, just a little bit, and he was about to be stabbed into a hornet's nest by the bamboo sword in the trap......
"Fat Brother Dao...... You're so heavy......"
The master tried his best to grab the fat immortal's wrist, but he was a little powerless, Nangong Lingzhu saw this, jumped down again, and pulled the fat immortal out with the master,
"Hoo ......"
The fat immortal went to the ground, turned his head to look at the trap, immediately patted his chest, and said with a smile: "It was so dangerous just now, but I calculated that I didn't have a bloody disaster today, let alone lose my life, at most there was no danger, hehe,"
"Don't move,"
The master blew his beard and said impatiently, "There are traps everywhere here, there are dangers everywhere, we must be extra careful, we can't go wrong again,"
"Yes, yes, what Brother Zhang Dao said is very true, but since this is a primeval forest, how can people arrange so many traps, why is this, is it for hunting,"
The fat fairy scratched his head and shook his head in confusion,
"With such a strict layout, it shouldn't be as simple as hunting, and Brother Fat Dao said before that there is also a name for this place, which is the Ten Thousand Miles Soul Sea, which means that many people have died here, so it is estimated that these traps should not be used for hunting,"
Master said in a deep voice,
"What's that for,"
The fat immortal and Nangong Lingzhu both looked at the master in puzzlement,
"Well, if I expected it to be true, most of these traps are to protect this big forest, one is to prevent outsiders from entering, and the other is to prevent things from coming out, and the trap traps are arranged at the junction of the outer and inner periphery, which already shows my speculation, there will be no mistake,"
As the Master spoke, he bent down and picked up a small piece of stone, snapped his fingers and struck it forward, touching several large trees one after another, as well as the dead grass and bushes on the ground...... "You see, further on, there are a lot fewer traps, or perhaps, there are no traps anymore."
