This monk is naturally Wu Jie.

He was walking in the cave just now, checking his surroundings for anything of interest as he went. At this moment, a demonic aura came quickly, turned into a rat spirit, and blocked his way.

Wu Xie does not discriminate against monsters, in his opinion, as long as the spiritual sense is opened and the concept of "me" is obtained, it is an intelligent creature, and it is a spiritual seed that should be regarded as a "human".

But that doesn't mean he'll be merciful to the guys who want to eat him.

If you want to kill someone, of course, you must be prepared to be killed.

It's just that he miscalculated the mouse's ability - he thought that since this guy lived underground, close to the earthfire magma, he should be more resistant to fire, so he shot a little heavier.

Outcome...... The rat turned into a pile of black ash.

This result was much to Wu Jie's surprise, he originally just planned to burn this guy to a squeak, knock out its fierce flames, and then ask about something.

However, since it has been killed, forget it.

Compared to the rat spirit that has turned into a pile of ashes, Wu Xie is more interested in where does this monster come from? Compared with the map drawn by Bai Youcai, it is obvious that there should be no monsters in this area.

But...... Bai Youcai also said, "There seems to be some danger in this place." If the three of them encountered this monster, it seemed that there would indeed be danger - the speed of this rat spirit was quite fast, and his cultivation was not low, and it was estimated that he was about to condense his qi. Among Bai Youcai and the others, the big man surnamed Wu is in the realm of hundred refinements, and the other two should have just stepped into Tongyou. Considering the geographical advantage, the three of them against this rat spirit, even if they can win, most of them will be a miserable victory, and it is likely that one or two will die.

What makes Wu Xie more concerned is ...... Does this rat spirit have any companions?

Monsters are divided into two categories, one is those who have Su Hui, who often like to be quiet, and like to hide in a secluded place and practice silently alone; And those who don't have Su Hui like to form gangs, or occupy the mountain as kings, or call friends and friends, in short, it is very noisy.

This rat spirit doesn't look like the type with Su Hui no matter how you look at it, so it shouldn't be acting alone. If its companion can be found, it may be possible to obtain information about the underground ruins.

Wu Xie swept the direction of the rat spirit that he had just rushed out with his divine sense, and sure enough, he sensed a faint demonic aura. He jumped forward, turned into a flash of fire, flew all the way in the direction from which the demonic energy came, and circled around in the complex underground cracks like a labyrinth, and finally found a small cave, and saw the centipede spirit in the cave talking to itself.

Suddenly seeing this centipede essence, Wu Xie couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He has seen many yokai, some of them good and some of them evil. But the vast majority of youkai have a rebellious aura on their bodies, which makes people feel that they are not easy to approach.

Theoretically, everything in the world can become a demon, but in fact, there are only a very few people who can cultivate to become a monster, and compared to ordinary creatures, they are undoubtedly extremely good. This rebellious spirit is the innate arrogance in their hearts.

If you want to grind off this rebellious spirit, you are either born with a weak nature - for example, the body is a flower and plant, this situation often occurs, Wu Jieyi's brother Lin Lushan's wife flower demon Jian Dan'er is an example; Either he has traveled in the world for many years and has practiced human affection - the best example is naturally the first god in the north, the oldest descendant of the cloth cloth god phase, and the tree demon Su Lin of the Tongtian faction; Or they have accepted the orthodox Dao inheritance, practiced all year round, and extinguished the fire in their hearts with cultivation - there are many such monsters on Qingyang Mountain, although they often look strange, but they seem to be masters of the Tao between their words and deeds, and they are not half unruly at all.

And today, Wu Xie saw another monster who had no rebellious spirit, as if he had attained the Tao.

"I thought that the rat spirit was very vicious, and its companion should not be a good person, but I didn't expect it to be a person who has attained the Tao!" Wu Xie smiled, standing at the entrance of the cave and owing himself to the benefit, "I watched Wu Xie in the lower Qingyang, and I have seen Taoist friends." ”

Although the cultivation of this monster is not very high, it is also in the middle of refining. But in the face of the enlightened people, Wu Xie felt that he should be polite.

The centipede spirit didn't expect Wu Xie to come so quickly, and he didn't expect his attitude to be so good, but he was a little panicked. But he quickly calmed down, and bowed politely as well.

"There is no moon in the next, there is no door and no sect of scattered cultivation. Failing to control his subordinates has disturbed his fellow Daoists, and I hope to forgive my sins! ”

When a polite person meets a polite person, the words are naturally easy to say. The two sides talked very happily, as if there was a feeling of the ancients so-called "pouring cover as before".

"Daoist friends want to explore the ruins?" Wuyue's eyes were dripping and rolling - this was his natural quirk, as long as he used his brain, or was slightly emotional, his eyes would turn and turn, and the strangest thing was that the two eyes turned in completely different directions, which looked weird.

After pondering for a while, Wuyue finally made up her mind: "I've been cultivating here, but I've always been curious about the ruins not far away. But...... To tell you the truth, I've always felt that there was some danger in that ruin, or rather...... I've always had a premonition that makes me uneasy......"

"Most of our cultivators' hunches are very accurate, and since Daoists feel that it is dangerous, they will naturally not explore it." Wu Xie smiled, "But if you are curious, I can take a picture of the situation inside in the jade slip and bring it back." It's better to explore it yourself, but you can always relieve your curiosity. ”

"No, I decided." Wuyue stood up, took a deep breath, and clenched her fists, "It's not a matter to keep dodging, it's rare to have great Taoist powers and be humble, this must be my chance!" I'll pack it up and go to the ruins with my fellow Daoists to find out! Look at what it is, I can't forget it and worry about it! ”

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, but seeing that he had already made up his mind, it was difficult to persuade him again.

Although Wuyue has been cultivating for many years, she is actually very poor. Aside from a few rudimentary magic weapons made from the carapace that had been shelled out of their own shells, the only precious thing was the blood-red spar.

But the hedron was firmly nailed to the ground, and he didn't know how many ways Lu Dao tried, but he couldn't pull it out.

It's really strange that he can pull it out - Wu Xie studied it carefully, and found that this spar was fixed on the ground with the famous magical power "Finger Earth into Steel Method", and the predecessor who cast the spell had vast magical powers and profound skills beyond imagination.

Wu Xie also knows how to turn the ground into steel, and he also knows the means to crack it. But he tried to crack it, but found that although the mana that fixed the spar had passed for an unknown number of years, it was still extremely strong, and it was not something he could shake at all.

"It's weird...... Is there really a spell in the world that is not afraid of the passage of time? Seeing that Wu Xie couldn't do anything with this spar, Wuyue couldn't help but be a little disappointed, muttering to herself, "Impossible!" This is simply against the common sense of monasticism! ”

He is right, everything in the world is no match for the passage of time, and no matter how powerful the supernatural power is, it is difficult to last for thousands of years, let alone forever.

Wuyue has been cultivating here for at least two or three thousand years. But after all these years, he hadn't noticed that the power of the fixed spar had weakened in the slightest—this was unreasonable! It's just a spell, how can it last so long!

Wu Xie is also very curious: the power of the finger earth into steel method is good, and the duration is generally not long. With Wu Jie's cultivation at the moment, if he exerts his full strength, it can probably last for about thirty years; And if those who are still Dan real people make a move, they may be able to last for hundreds of years, which is almost the limit.

A spell that can last for thousands of years, let alone seeing it with your own eyes, you haven't even heard of it!

"Maybe there's something strange underneath this hedron?" Wu Xie thought for a while and said, "Can Daoist friends know how to do it?" ”

"I'm ashamed to say that although I am a centipede, I have never practiced the ability to drill into the ground."

Wu Xie nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed it to the ground, trying to probe his divine sense into the ground.

However, his divine sense had only penetrated less than half a foot before he found that there was a powerful force under the ground in this area, and his divine sense could not penetrate at all.

He was not surprised - this meant that there might be a formation or something underground, providing a steady stream of force for the "Finger Ground Formation Method" that fixed the spar, so that it had maintained for an unknown number of years.

"I see...... "Wu Yue is from a wild road, and he doesn't know how to cultivate his divine sense at all, because of the method of turning the ground into steel, he can't dig the ground around the spar, so when Wu Xie probed and found out that there might be a formation or something underground, he solved his doubts, which made him very happy.

"So...... Shall we try to get this hedron out first? Wu Xie asked, "If you know a little about the art of doing it below, you can try to sneak down to break the formation." ”

"Let's explore the ruins first." Wuyue thought for a moment and said, "This hedron has been nailed here for at least a few thousand years, and there is no problem. You and I can't pull it out together—and probably no one else can't. ”

"In comparison, it's the ruins that make me care more about ......"

Wu Xie smiled slightly, and no longer cared about the spar, but took out the jade slip that Bai Youcai drew the map and gave it to Wuyue for reference.

Wuyue has lived in seclusion here for many years, and occasionally walks around slightly. He was familiar with all the places in the cave. Compared with Bai Youcai's map, I found a few inconspicuous small mistakes - I think that when Bai Youcai first explored, the situation he saw was not comprehensive.

"I've written down the map." After a while, Wuyue cast a spell to slightly depict it on the jade slip, and then gave it back to Wu Jie, "I also engraved the situation of my own knowledge of the Dao, so I should fill in the gaps." ”

After exchanging information, the two set off for the ruins.

The dark cave had no effect on them, Wu Xie had the eye of fire, and looked at the darkness as if it were day; Moonless is an underground youkai who is born with the ability to see things in the dark.

Along the way, Wuyue seemed to be in high spirits, and asked Wu Xie about some things related to the world from time to time. However, he adhered to the conventions of cultivators, and did not mention a word about the problems encountered in his cultivation.

According to the rules of the monks, the law should not be passed on lightly. Unless it is forced to do so in an emergency, it is natural to take a bath and fast, and to receive the teaching in a solemn manner. If it is the fundamental method that directly points to the Great Dao, it is even more necessary to worship and receive ordination as a disciple in order to be taught.

Wu Xie naturally also knew the rules of the Dao, and several of his disciples had all been observed and tested, and all of them had given the precepts before teaching the Fa. Even when he first preached the Dharma in Kumho County, those who listened to the Dharma also went through bathing and fasting, and he also taught everyone the rules of doing good deeds before teaching the Dharma of "palm thunder".

Although Wuyue seems to have a good character, they are not familiar with each other after all, and this place is not suitable for teaching the Fa, so they don't give him the knowledge of cultivation.

However, Wu Xie had already secretly made up his mind in his heart - if everything went well, he could lead this demon cultivator to Qingyang Mountain. Thinking about coming to the place where he cultivates, he will definitely be able to live like a fish in water and live a very comfortable life.
