Chapter Seventy-Four: The Birth of the Spiritual Root IV
Mu Qinglian revealed the inside story of the so-called trial, which was nothing more than to win people's hearts, maybe Xu Zheng had gotten rid of his control, but the lives of the other three were still in his hands, and he was an exception. ā
Wei Zhen thought silently.
"What does Xu Zheng mean when he says that the heavens and the earth have changed? His true identity is really a side branch of a small suzerain? Why does he frequently show favor to himself? How should he fight for the so-called spiritual root being born?"
These questions came to Wei Zhen's mind one by one, and he couldn't guess the thoughts of other people, but the thought that was born before in his heart became more and more firm.
Along the way, they found several fourth-order precious herbs, but they tried to attack with spiritual skills, and sure enough, they were all transformed by resentful spirits, and judging by their appearance, these resentful spirits should have been sea creatures before their deaths.
The further you go, the more criss-crossed the passages become, as if you can't walk to the end, and a faint mist gradually rises. What is strange is that after that, he never met the disciples of the various sects again.
After walking some distance, the aisle in front of him suddenly became narrow, and the two walls were full of lush vines, Xu Zheng suddenly screamed, took the sword in his hand, and cut off a piece of vine that was quietly wrapped around his left arm, and the remaining vine branches contracted rapidly, and a few points of red juice dripped from the tips of the branches, and a piece of vines that fell to the ground actually writhed like a snake for a few breaths before it completely calmed down.
Although this unexpected change was easily resolved by him, his actions were like a ray of fire, and the vines that had originally surrounded the rock wall were violently stimulated, and they writhed and stretched one after another, winding towards the six people from all directions, revealing several dry corpses inside.
"We rushed over. Xu Zheng paused, the sword in his hand swelled, and he blatantly cut off a large piece of vine branches, and the five people behind him took out the spiritual weapon at the same time, and performed their spiritual skills again and again.
In the narrow passage, the aura danced violently, the vines fell like rain for a while, and the red juice flowed down to the ground, turning into a small trickle. But these vines seem to be inexhaustible, and the more powerful the attack, the more they extend.
"Ahh
The four people in front of them just rushed to kill him, and when they heard his screams, none of them turned back, and when this life and death were at stake, no one could take care of others.
Wei Zhen's left fist blasted out, the short sword in his right hand slashed diagonally in front of him, and his body retreated sharply, these strange vines absorbed Xia Yi's essence blood, and the branches danced like demons, becoming even more crazy, and after he retreated to a safe distance, the passage in front of him had already been blocked by the endless vines pressed by the black pressure.
He sat down on the spot and waited for dozens of minutes, but there was no sound behind the tree wall made of vines. In such a situation, it is normal that no one is willing to risk coming back to meet him, but it is also what he wants. After seeing the various herbs that the spirits had incarnated, he had the idea of acting alone.
Wei Zhen took out the black stick from the storage bag, looked around, and chose a direction to walk quickly. At that time, when the strange scene was born, there were dozens of arch portals that appeared under the moon, and Xu Zhengdu chose this one, and there must be a reason in it. And after the illusion disappeared, only the brilliant palace standing on the top of the peaks was invisible, and I thought that this was the place where this opportunity was born. According to his guess, the disciples of the various sects who entered the pillar of heaven were no less than hundreds, and they rarely met this time, so there should be another way to get there.
Wei Zhen walked cautiously alone, while paying attention to the movements around him, and after walking for a while, he finally found a "Heavenly Star Flower" that he had seen in the Rhino Mountain Range among a rock.
This "Celestial Star Flower" is half a foot tall and has three small blue leaves, but there is no blue light flashing between the leaves, judging from the appearance, it is also a fourth-order medicinal herb.
Wei Zhen didn't think much about it, the black stick suddenly stabbed out, just right on the root of the medicine, the "Heavenly Star Flower" grass in front of him shook for a while, and a shrimp-shaped resentful spirit suddenly turned out, but it only had time to let out a low hiss, and it was already sucked in by the black stick.
"I-to--" Wei Zhen was in a trance and felt two short words in his ears, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, he felt that this voice was actually somewhat similar to the low female voice that caused the illusion, but unfortunately the time was too short to make a definite judgment.
"This place is really weird!" Wei Zhen pondered, continuing to walk rapidly through a passage, and after half an hour had passed, he used his black stick to absorb a few wisps of resentful spirits, but each time he heard the same two words.
After a few more turns, a pond suddenly appeared in front of it, and there was a water lily floating in the blue pond water, with eight-shaped petals, pink and tender in color.
Wei Zhen approached and looked closely, and there was a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose, which went straight to his heart.
"Could it be that this is a real medicinal herb?" he was skeptical, and the black stick in his hand still stabbed out lightly, and a few breaths passed, and no abnormal changes occurred.
Wei Zhen's heart was overjoyed, his left hand reached out, and he fished it straight towards the root of the water lily, and his right hand tightly pinched the black stick, still maintaining a vigilant look.
But at this moment, a foot-long golden carp suddenly jumped out of the pool and pounced on him.
Wei Zhen didn't panic, with a turn of his right hand, the black stick stabbed out from the bottom up, right in the tail of the golden carp, the golden carp was suddenly attacked, the fish's lips suddenly opened, and the mouth made a strange sound of "ho ho".
"I-want--soul--" This time Wei Zhen really heard the sound of these four words clearly, which was exactly the same as the woman's mournful whispering, except that there was a difference of one word.
"What the hell is going on?" he frowned and pondered, remembering Mu Qinglian's words about the origin of the Pillar of Heaven.
"Are you a disciple of the Fengren Clan?" At this moment, a childish question came from behind him.
Wei Zhen turned sharply, and ten steps away stood a young man in a white robe, with a bald head and a bare brain, the young man's gaze was falling on the black stick in his right hand, and when he saw Wei Zhen's vigilant look, he looked away and fell on the water lily again.
"It's a pity, this is an 'eight-petal meridian lotus', which is a good healing medicine, but it's a pity that the grade is lower. The boy said with some regret.
"Who are you, how do you know my identity?" Wei Zhen had an idea, did not deny his identity, and asked rhetorically.
"IāI'm the one of the Emperor's Palace. The boy seemed to want to lie, but he didn't know how to say it, and then said, "Because only the people of the human race like to collect resentful spirits. ā
"Oh, my name is Wei Zhen. "Emperor Shi Palace" Wei Zhen had never heard of it, and he could see at a glance that Yun Si's age was one or two years younger than himself, but there seemed to be no malice in his words.
"You're also here to find the Spiritual Root Opportunity?" Wei Zhen asked with a smile.
"It's not. Yun Si shook his head resolutely, "Senior Brother Yun Dao said, let me come with him to see the world, and I heard the voice just now." In fact, it was he who had to be pestered.
"Where's your senior brother?" Wei Zhen asked, his eyes immediately sweeping around.
"He can't get in here, don't worry. Yun Si seemed to see Wei Zhen's nervousness. "Why is that sound coming again?
Wei Zhen listened to his words slightly, and couldn't help but listen intently, and sure enough, there was an intermittent low sobbing sound in his ears.
"It's not in the right direction, so let's go over and check it together. Yun Mi seems to be curious about everything.
Wei Zhen hesitated. "Okay. This young man named Yun Si was a little stunned, so he couldn't afford to be on guard.
The two of them followed the direction from which the sound came, and walked briskly, and within a moment, they came to the side of a passage, from which the sound of crying seemed to come from.
Yun Si poked out half of his head from behind Wei Zhen and looked in, but he didn't see anything, but he said, "It seems to be a girl's voice." ā
Wei Zhen's soul sense, knowing that he was right, as if sensing that someone was coming, the woman put away her low crying voice at this time.
Wei Zhen tiptoed in, the fist of his left hand was condensed but not released, and when he turned his head to look, although Yun Si did not see any movement, there was a white light between his palms, which appeared and disappeared, and he was obviously prepared.
The two approached step by step, and gradually came to a protruding rock, Wei Zhen was just about to appear, and a black figure behind the rock suddenly threw himself into his arms with a "squeak" cry.
"Little black black. Wei Zhen exclaimed happily. The moment the dark shadow entered his arms, he immediately sensed a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time.
"Miss Mu, is that you? I'm Wei Zhen. ā
As his words fell, a delicate figure behind the rock slowly stood up with a sense of surprise, and then the figure also rushed into his arms and began to sob.
This delicate figure is Mu Ziyin, undoubtedly.
Wei Zhen suddenly felt a little at a loss, and didn't know how to comfort her. Mu Ziyin has been missing for a long time, and no one knows what happened to her, and what is even more unimaginable is that she will appear here.
Wei Zhen hesitated, and finally put his right arm around her and gently patted the other party's shoulder, Mu Ziyin's excited emotions gradually calmed down, and Xiao Heihei came out of his arms again, licking his face affectionately.
About half a year later, Mu Ziyin blushed a little face, raised her head from Wei Zhen's chest very shyly, and said softly: "Wei Zhen, let you see the smile, I want to go home." ā
She raised her beautiful eyes and caught a glimpse of Yun Si standing stupidly next to her, and her face turned even more crimson.
"My name is Yun Si, and I'm from the Emperor's Palace. Yun Si introduced himself generously, but thought in his heart: "This Miss Mu is so good-looking, much more beautiful than those senior sisters in the palace!
After Mu Ziyin nodded politely, she looked at Wei Zhen again, waiting for his answer wholeheartedly.
A few traces of pity flashed in Wei Zhen's eyes, Mu Ziyin's face was haggard, and her expression could not hide the pain, it was not as bright and moving as the last time the two met, obviously this inexplicable disappearance made her suffer a lot.
