Chapter 37: Yuan Ling
"All the disciples who join my empty-handed treasure hunting sect must regard the 'Eye of the Sky' as the biggest enemy in their lives, this thing is the most evil and hateful, and they like to peep at people's traces and **, hindering the cultivation and growth of our sect's disciples. So—" The red-faced old man stopped talking, and pretended to cough a few times, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
"In order to defeat the biggest enemy of this sect, all the beginner disciples must contribute, do you understand?"
When Wei Zhen heard this, he vaguely felt bad in his heart, and even had a feeling of being deceived, but he took the initiative to apprentice, and he had already received the gift of apprenticeship just now, so he wanted to refuse at this moment but couldn't find a reason.
The red-faced old man took in his embarrassing subtle changes, and continued while the iron was hot: "Good apprentice, you don't have to worry, the contribution to the master is just a trivial matter, besides, how can there be a reason in the world for the master to frame the disciple!"
He went on to explain: "Being a teacher is just to put a little bit of Yuan Spirit Breath on you, so that this 'Sky Eye' can't find me, and Master, I can free myself up to do an earth-shattering thing!"
Speaking of this, the red-faced old man's short round body was inexplicably in a commotion, obviously talking about that earth-shattering event, and his heart was suddenly extremely excited.
"Disciple understands!" Wei Zhen had no way to retreat at the moment, so he had to stubbornly agree.
"Okay, I'm really not wrong!" said the red-faced old man with his chin and beard, with a great sense of comfort in my heart.
Without delay, he stretched out his fat right palm and slapped it hard at the center of his eyebrows, and a fist-sized gray mist immediately floated out of his zenith, and was immediately held firmly by him with his right palm, and then gently sent forward, this gray mist was like a lightning gallop across the distance between the two, and went straight to the place in Wei Zhen's chest.
At the moment when he saw that he was about to be imprinted, Xiao Hei Hei suddenly overcame all his previous fears for some reason, and drilled out his little head from Wei Zhen's chest, and his small mouth tried his best to open it, revealing two rows of pitch-black arc hook teeth, and then sucked it violently, and actually inhaled all the gray mist into his mouth, and the moment the corners of his mouth were closed, the little head quickly shrank back at the same time.
After the red-faced old man completed a series of actions of slapping and sending out gray mist, his three-foot-long figure gradually became illusory, and when he saw this sudden scene, he suddenly opened his mouth in shock, and his mouth was intermittent but unable to speak.
"This—this—"
At the same time, the huge emerald eyes in the sky slowly turned his cold gaze at the moment when the red-faced old man sent out the gray mist, following the trail of the gray mist, and at the moment when the little black black swallowed it all, it stiffened for a moment as if it had lost its purpose, and it gradually dissipated like ice and snow melting.
After only a few breaths, the canopy formed by the cold light silently decomposed, the endless cold light faded away, the emerald eyes in the sky and the figure of the red-faced old man all disappeared silently, and this side of the world regained its original color, with the crimson of the fire iron spirit mine, the pale of the mist monster, and more of it was boundless darkness.
Wei Zhen stood silently in the dark, as if he hadn't yet reacted to all the upheaval that was happening in front of him, and he didn't know how long it took for him to finally make a move, and for the first time he looked at the little black black in his arms—the little black black had his eyes closed, his limbs curled up, and after swallowing the gray mist completely, he actually fell into a deep sleep again.
Wei Zhen sat down again, and the transparent shield around him dissipated unconsciously. He understood one thing at this time, he didn't really apprentice to the master, and the red-faced old man didn't really intend to accept him as an apprentice, so until the end, the other party didn't ask his name, and he didn't know the name of the named master.
What is the true identity of this old man? Why is he here? What is that huge eye in the sky, the "Eye of the Sky"? Someone is manipulating it behind it, and who are they? What kind of grudge do they have with this red-faced old man? Is the legend of No Man's Land related to these people? Is he already involved? If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Xiao Hei Hei and swallowing that gray mist, the answer must have been yes.
These chaotic thoughts came to Wei Zhen's heart, making it difficult for him to sort out for a while, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to give up, the matter here was too complicated, and it was not at all something that he could participate in as a small eighth-level spiritual monk.
At this time, I don't know how far away from the Chidi Realm of the Xuanyun Continent, another boundless world, everything in this world seems to be full of a kind of agility. The fish swimming in the water, the birds in the sky, the flowers blooming on the ground, and the fruits growing on the trees all contain an indescribable spirituality, which makes people feel refreshed and happy at a glance, as if this is not a place for mortals to live.
In a small world, above the sky, castles of different shapes and colors float like clouds, but from a distance, they are orderly and hidden invisible rules.
In this group of nearly a thousand castles, there is a nine-story dark green castle - there are only four castles in the whole small world that have reached this height, and on the top of it, there is an extremely empty green hall, which is only a hundred feet square from the outside, but only those who really enter the hall will find that when they enter the hall, it is like a drop of water melting into the sea, like a drop in the ocean.
In the center of the green hall, the most eye-catching thing is a huge, emerald eye, which is exactly the same as the "eye that peeps into the sky" that Wei Zhen saw and the red-faced old man said.
Around it, there were three thousand small eyes floating in the air at the same time, which were exactly the same as one but nearly a thousand times smaller in size, and each eye reflected a different scene and a different person, and under it, a huge runic array was running all the time.
In the middle of the hall, under the giant eyes, there were about three hundred young disciples in green robes, these people were men and women, all of them were handsome, and there were three bright stars in the center of their eyebrows.
Suddenly, a woman in green, who was about eighteen years old, exclaimed, and her complexion changed suddenly, as if she had seen something incredible from a small eye in front of her.
In the small eye that she was in charge of monitoring, an old man about fifty years old, with a round ruddy face, a long beard and long eyebrows, was originally reflected, but at this moment, it had completely disappeared.
Her small exclamation did not make the companions beside her look sideways, and everyone was paying full attention to the ten small eyes that appeared above their heads, as if they were afraid of missing every clear or blurry picture that flashed inside.
The woman in green hurriedly got up and left, walked down the green hall on the ninth floor, and came to a small hall on the eighth floor, in the small hall, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, looking intently out of the skylight, and between his eyebrows were five conspicuous stars.
The woman in green respectfully placed a black jade spirit slip in her hand on the long case behind the middle-aged man, and then withdrew silently, and hurriedly returned to the green hall on the ninth floor.
The middle-aged man didn't look back, after the woman in green left, the index finger of his right hand lightly hooked in the air, and the black jade spirit had already flown up on its own, floating a foot away from him, and a ray of brilliance flashed from his amber right eye.
The information in the Black Jade Spirit Brief was only two simple sentences - "Luo Daosheng's Yuan Spirit Phantom disappeared, and the new Yuan Spirit host could not be detected. ”
The first sentence did not cause any waves in the middle-aged man's heart, but the second sentence made him immediately reach out and grab the black jade Lingjian hovering in the air, and his body stepped out like a phantom, and in an instant, he walked out of this nine-story dark green castle, and his body flew straight towards a cone-shaped peak standing between the four nine-story castles.
The mountain peaks do not know the height of the geometry, the whole body is like white jade, between the clouds and mist, as if reflecting the shadow of a palace, and there are a few vague words and shadows, but people can't see the real thing, everything is like nothing, as if it does not exist in the world.
The middle-aged man was thinking about not these, the five diamond stars in his eyebrows flickered, which invisibly showed the doubts in his heart at the moment.
That huge, emerald eye is called "Eye of the Sky", it is an extremely powerful spiritual treasure, with the mysterious power of "Peeking at the Path of Heaven and Observing the Whereabouts of All Things", although there have been times when it has been missed in the past, but it is the first time in this Luo Daosheng. Is his primordial spirit completely extinct? Or is there a new host? If it is the latter, why can't even the "Eye of the Sky" find out? In fact, these are not the questions he needs to consider, he just needs to report the results of the inspection to the people at a higher level.
Almost at the same time, in the low and dim world on the other side, the sky of the whole world looked very deep, as if you could touch the sky with your hand, but when you really stretched out your hand, the feeling was very different, and the sky in your eyes also changed.
The low and dim sky suddenly became blue, high and unreachable, and the clumps of green and white clouds flashed and disappeared above the sky, and the whole world had a cold and silent atmosphere.
Under a ravine, no one knows, there is a deep pond, there is no water in the pond, no fish, only a large black "soil", if you look closely, you will find that these "soil" is not static, they are constantly wriggling and rolling - this is the "eater", a kind of creature unique to the Netherworld, which likes to devour all kinds of living creatures with the invisible breath.
At this moment, there is a person buried under the "soil" of this activity, this person is silent, as if it is a nameless corpse that has been dead for a long time, but at the moment when Xiao Hei Hei swallowed the gray mist, the eyes of this "corpse" suddenly opened, and a trace of extreme gloom flashed in his eyes.
Although this person's whole body is tightly covered by "polyphants", looking at his body shape, he is only three feet long, with a round face and a round belly, who is not Wei Zhenxinbai's registered master and Luo Daosheng, who is supervised by the woman in green.
In order to avoid the detection of the "Sky Eye", Luo Daosheng had to pretend to be dead and use the "Breath Eater" to devour to cover his own breath, but at that moment, one of his Yuan Spirits completely lost contact with this deity, and he instantly woke up from the state of suspended animation. What he cultivated was a high-level spiritual skill called the "Yuan Ling Incarnation Method", which could incarnate eighteen Yuan Spirit phantoms to deceive the snooping of spirit treasures such as "Eye of the Heavens".
He originally wanted to repeat his old trick and put a Yuan Spirit in Wei Zhen's body to confuse his vision, but the result of the matter was beyond his expectations.
"How can this be? It shouldn't be......" Luo Daosheng muttered to himself with some unwillingness and doubt, and finally resisted the urge to appear at this time, and the eyes that opened a line slowly closed again.
