Ma Xie stood at the door of the room and looked out, still unable to see anything, but he noticed a strange phenomenon, the smoke from the four incense burners seemed to be able to resist the mist, and where the smoke drifted, the fog would automatically recede.

Unfortunately, this incense burner is too small, and four incense burners can only ensure that there is no fog in this house, and the fog outside the room shows no signs of receding.

In the white mist, a black shadow suddenly appeared.

The shadow seemed to fall from the sky and stood in front of Ma Xie, who instantly became nervous, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he was just ready to fight.

The black shadow was motionless in the fog, and Ma Xie couldn't see the face of the thing clearly, and he didn't know if the thing saw himself, but after a while, the thing disappeared in an instant.

After the black shadow disappeared, Ma Xie did not let his guard down, and for some reason, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him after the black shadow disappeared.

And the eyes seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, Ma Xie couldn't see it, but he seemed to hear the gasp of something, and the rapid snort seemed to have fallen on the door of Ma Xie's face, and Ma Xie finally saw clearly, it was a big rectangular face.

The layout of the facial features on this big face is no different from that of a person, but it looks like a knife carved out of a knife, sharp and hard, and lifeless.

A big face suddenly appeared from the fog and was in front of Ma Xie.

Ma Xie felt that the big face was breathing, or looking for something, but after staying in front of Ma Xie for a while, he disappeared into the fog.

"He's like...... Can't see me!" Ma Xie realized that this room must be different, and the only answer he could think of was that the smoke from the incense burner would protect him from the fog.

In the distance, someone shouted again, as if they were being chased by something.

Ma Xie no longer hesitated, picked up an incense burner and walked out of the room.

He was going to find Yuan Wuji and the others, who were in a mist at this time, and would definitely encounter this kind of danger.

Holding the incense burner in his hand, Ma Xie walked out of the room.

Sure enough, after the mist met the smoke emitted from the incense burner, it gradually dispersed, and Ma Xie's body formed a three-foot square "space", without a trace of fog, and outside these three feet, Ma Xie also clearly felt that his vision was much clearer, but the incense burner outside was obviously faster than inside.

Bypassing the house, Ma Xie followed the path he had just entered and returned to the courtyard with a beehive, hoping to find Wan Feifei and the others there.

At this time, only the old tree was left in the courtyard, and Ma Xie searched around the courtyard, but found no sign of anyone, so he turned and walked west, wanting to look for the pond.

The direction in the fog is not easy to discern, Ma Xie can only walk next to the buildings, relying on the trend of these buildings to discern the direction, he hopes that Wan Feifei and the others will not run to other places, so that even if he chases after him, he will eventually get lost.

"Click! click!" came a slight sound, as if something was breaking.

Ma Xie's heart tightened, and he followed the sound and walked over to the back of the courtyard.

The strange face that appeared just now was standing not far in front of Ma Xie, and Ma Xie saw the whole picture of the strange face clearly.

It turned out that there was only one face around the strange face, and this face was more than three feet high, and under the face, there were two thick and strong legs, and two thick and strong arms protruding from the ears.

The two arms stretched forward, and there was a person in the middle, the upper body of the person had been stuffed into the mouth of the big face, and the lower body was still twitching in the hands of the big face.

"Click, click, click......"

It turned out that this voice was the sound of the big face chewing bones, Ma Xie couldn't stand the nausea when he saw this scene, what is this big face, how can it eat a living person, and looking at the person's outfit, it should be a disciple of the Purple Immortal Sect.

The big face seemed to sense the movement, and turned his face to look in the direction of Ma Xie.

Ma Xie's heart suddenly rose to his throat, blaming himself for being too curious, this big face doesn't know what kind of monster it is, if it is targeted, it must not be a good thing.

But after the big face looked in the direction of Ma Xie, he shook his head and continued to enjoy his feast.

"It seems that within the confines of this incense burner, this thing cannot see me. Ma Xie's heart relaxed, he subconsciously glanced at the incense burner, and found that there was not much incense inside, and he had to quickly find Yuan Wuji and the others.

So Ma Xie continued to go west, and the road here was straight, and Ma Xie followed the path of the courtyard to the west to the edge of the pond.

But the pond was empty, and it was impossible for those people to stay in the pond all the time.

So Ma Xie searched around the pond, and finally saw a thatched house on the other side of the pond.

There seemed to be some movement in the thatched hut, and Ma Xie walked over with an incense burner.

"Squeak-" With a sound, the door of the thatched hut was opened by Ma Xie, and several rays of light suddenly flew towards him, but fortunately Ma Xie was prepared and dodged this sudden attack.

"Who!" shouted to the people inside, Ma Xie saw that it was Wan Feifei, Jin Mushui and Yuan Wuji, and the three of Qingye were standing on the other side, and a small copper lamp was lit in the middle of everyone, and the place illuminated by this copper lamp could also force the fog back.

Ma Xie walked into the house, and everyone relaxed their vigilance when they saw that it was Ma Xie, and the green leaf looked at Ma Xie and seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

Jin Mushui and Wan Feifei walked up and asked where Ma Xie had gone, and Ma Xie told everyone what he had seen, and asked if anyone knew what was in the mist.

Wan Feifei said: "Ask this old man, this old man is really a jack of all trades." ”

Aoba snorted, looked at Ma Xie, looked ashamed, coughed a few times, and then told everyone.

It turns out that the monsters in this mist are all strange beasts.

The strange beasts here are obviously specially stocked here, and this fog is not a simple fog, but a kind of fog that originates from a foreign land. In this fog, people's spiritual consciousness will gradually disappear, and no matter how powerful a practitioner is, as long as he stays in this fog for a long time, he will become blind and deaf, and eventually his five senses will be deprived. Only alien beasts can survive in this fog.

Obviously, someone specially placed this mist here, and then released a few strange beasts in it, allowing these strange beasts to attack these cultivators.

The monster with the big face should be a strange beast in a foreign land called "Kanrei Mountain", with only one skull, more than three feet long, and the eyes on the skull are no different from people, with a brutal temperament and extremely aggressive.

"But who did it, and what is the purpose of all this?" Ma Xie asked, since entering this secret realm, he had a strange feeling, as if all his actions were manipulated by others, and he had to make a choice.

Aoba didn't speak, he was also thinking about it.

At this time, Feng Buping said: "I think this is a screening! a screening that has been going on since we entered the secret realm. From the wasteland here, there are more and more treasures, but they are also more and more dangerous. In the midst of this danger, there is always a glimmer of life left, and I think the person who laid out this formation is to pass through this layer of screening and finally determine the successor of the 'Chixiao Divine Sword'. ”

Everyone felt that the statement of Feng Buping was very reasonable, in the final analysis, they came here to find the Chixiao Divine Sword, and all this seemed to be a test, for example, in the wasteland, the supreme test is the observation power of the cultivator, and in the black fire space, the test is the "quantity" of the spiritual energy In this layer of space, although they only saw a hive of pure spirit baby bees, there is no doubt that this has a huge relationship with the level of aura manipulation, the more people who have a strong level of aura manipulation, the greater the benefits they can get in this layer of space.

"But how are we going to break through this layer, or is this already the final pass in this secret realm, and the Chixiao Divine Sword is in this space?"

It was a difficult problem before them, without any hint, and the fog kept them from moving outside rashly, and the fog seemed to be about to force the people into these rooms.

"I think all the oddities in this villa are in the hall that enters the door. Ma Xie pondered for a long time and then said.

"Do you mean those four paintings? But we've all looked into it, and there's nothing there. Aoba said.

"It's because there's nothing there that makes me feel weird. Ma Xie said: "In this mountain villa, there are crises everywhere, but in the same way, there are also rare treasures and weapons hidden everywhere, but in the most conspicuous position, there are only four ancient paintings and four incense burners, and there is nothing unusual at all, don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean, the key to unlocking the secrets of this space lies in that house?"

"I feel so, we must have missed something crucial, so we didn't trigger the mechanism!" Ma Xie said affirmatively.

At this time, the fog was thick outside, and the bronze lamp in the room was about to go out, Wan Feifei, Jin Mushui, and Yuan Wuji were about to go to the room in front of them with Ma Xie, and after they walked out of the door, the three of them also followed.

"The old man also thinks that there is a problem there, since we have formed an alliance, let's take a look together!" said Aoba unashamedly, as if the robbery of the hive just now had not happened.

Ma Xie also knew that it was not appropriate to mention this matter at this time, and half of the hive of each of the two of them was the best result, so there was no need to argue with the three of Aoba about this matter.

So the people were divided into two groups, one group was Ma Xie holding the incense burner, walking in front with Jin Mu Shui, Wan Feifei and Yuan Wuji, and the three of Qingye walking behind with copper lamps.

Cautiously all the way, they finally returned to the front room, although there were still a few dark shadows on the way, but everyone knew that they were protected by these magic weapons at this time, and the strange beasts would not find them, so they did not panic.

Ma Xie revisited the incense burner on the table, and then began to examine the four paintings with the others.

Perhaps because of the sword, Ma Xie's attention was all attracted by the second painting, and he couldn't help but walk in and take a closer look.

The content of this painting is very simple, it is a swordsman with a long sword on his back, standing on a rock, this swordsman looks into the distance, and does not know what he is looking at.

Behind the swordsman, there was a lonely blue sky, and in the blue sky, only a few birds were flying.

"These birds...... "Ma Xie looked at the birds carefully, if his guess was not wrong, then there must be some clues hidden in this painting.

"There's one less bird!" Ma Xie was surprised to find that there were six of these birds, arranged in the shape of a spoon, wasn't this the shape of the Big Dipper?

Ma Xie was excited, it must be like this, yes, there are fewer birds on this painting!

He told everyone about his discovery, and Jin Mushui came first, and after looking at it, he said, "Indeed, there is one less in the direction of shaking light, otherwise this is the complete Big Dipper." ”

"But what are we going to do? should we draw a wild goose and go up, or catch one outside?" said Yuan Wuji.

"Perhaps...... We're just going to catch a wild goose and come back. Aoba said in a low voice.
