Although there was no trace of the demon beast around at this time, after all, this was outside the sect, and everyone still had to guard against accidents, especially against the fierce Magu Sparrow on the giant tree, so Qian Chao used the Hidden Spirit Array to arrange it at the entrance of the cave.

Tang Ping no longer held the small jade bottle to receive the spiritual spring water at this time, and after Qian Chao used a trick, the small bottle hung under the stone stalactite, allowing the spiritual spring water on it to fall drop by drop.

If you want to get more spiritual spring water to bring back, it will take a long time to stay in this cave, and it is getting late at this time, and this place is protected by Qian Chao with a formation, so the five of them are ready to spend the night here.

Since they wanted to rest here, the five of them carefully investigated this cave, and as a result, they looked carefully all the way, and there was no abnormality in this cave except for the big pit where the three wooden beasts were located before.

After seeing the situation in the cave, the five people sat around the stone platform again.

"Brother Qian, is this hole dug out by hand?" Yan Xuan asked.

"Of course, this hole is not only dug by hand, but if my estimate is correct, I don't know how long ago, this was probably a secret room of a certain sect or family." Qian Chao said and looked at Li Jian here, "Brother Li, didn't you have a clear sense of the situation in this cave at the beginning?" ”

Li Jian replied: "Not bad. ”

Qian Chao pointed to the tall and smooth cave walls around him, and said: "Some formations have been arranged here, which are somewhat similar to my hidden spirit array, but they are more complicated, but it is a pity that the formations here are already incomplete, otherwise there will be some gains." ”

Tang Ping interjected and asked, "I have always heard that good things can be found in the ruins outside the sect, if this is also a ruin, will there be any good things that we haven't found yet?" ”

"Good things," Qian Chao smiled, "Of course there are good things, huh" He pointed to the white jade vial hanging under the stone stalactite, "Aren't you collecting?" ”

Several people looked at the small bottle, and at this time, a drop of spiritual spring water was dripping from it, and it fell straight into the mouth of the bottle.

"Could it be that such a big cave is still cultivated so carefully, and the formation is arranged, just for this spiritual spring water?" Yan Xuan asked.

"Well, in my opinion, it should be so," Qian Chao stood up and looked at the stone platform, "If my guess is right, there should have been a family or sect built on this mountain in the past, but now the mountain has long been wrapped in the roots of the giant tree, and we can't see it, but whenever a sect or family is established, we must find a place for spiritual veins, and this is probably the same, but it is both a place of spiritual veins and a spiritual spring, isn't this a treasure land?" This cave hall was dug by the people who occupied this place in order to keep the secret of this spiritual spring, under the protection of this formation, outsiders did not know that there was a spiritual spring here, and this place should be the retreat practice place of the important people among those people, the spiritual energy here is rich, and it is rare outside. ”

"And where did those people go?" Yan Xuan asked, and immediately thought that since this was already the case, the previous people were probably scattered to nowhere, and besides, it was estimated that they had long since died, so he said, "I mean, how did this place become like this, how could a tree of this size grow on it?" ”

"The formation here is already incomplete," Qian Chao pointed to the top of the cave with his finger, "If it is not incomplete, the aura here will not leak out, and it is impossible to have the giant tree above, Sister Yan, if the giant tree is not nourished by this spiritual spring, it will not be able to grow so tall and rare." ”

Tang Ping said: "Sister Yan, I don't know how long ago it was, what can happen is estimated to be in the book, there was no one in the book about our Five Spirits Sect earlier, it is said that there are also many large and small sects and families here, but you look at it again, such a vast place outside the sect is only infested with demon beasts, what else can happen here before, it is either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and the possibility of a man-made disaster is even greater." ”

Li Jian opened his mouth and said: "I always hear people say that our Five Spirit Sect is the place where the spiritual veins gather here, since whether it is a family or a sect, it must be built on the land of the spiritual veins, so before there is no our Five Spirit Sect, who will start a sect in Tianshui Lake?" ”

"Earlier, it seemed that there was no water lake that day," Qian Chao said after listening to Li Jian's words, "I saw from the book that I don't know how long ago, there was a time when our monks from Central Continent and the monks from outside the territory started a big battle, known as the battle across the sea, it is said that we are here is the place where the war was most fierce that year, and it is also the Five Spirits Sect that only existed after the battle across the sea, according to the records in the book, almost all of the monks who participated in that battle had the ability to move mountains and seas, Because of this, the protracted and fierce battle completely changed the landform of the vast area of our Five Spirit Sect, and also made the spiritual veins here very different from before, which led to the Tianshui Lake and Yuhu Mountain in our sect, and then those ancestors established our Five Spirit Sect in Tianshui Lake. ”

Li Jian nodded when he heard this, he didn't expect that the origin of the Five Spirits Sect would be so tortuous.

Yan Xuan listened in disbelief, looked up at the top of the cave, where the roots of the giant tree could be faintly seen, and she said, "Could it be that this cave is the one that has been left until now after the battle across the sea?" That's too long. ”

"It's possible, Sister Yan," Tang Ping said, "The big tree on the mountain, I really don't know how many years it has grown, and one day, this cave will be completely occupied by the roots of the big tree, and it will be difficult for us to come here again." ”

"But fortunately, we can still come here, the opportunity is rare," Qian Chao said with a smile, "Since I guess this is likely to be the place where the ancestors retreated and practiced, then since you are here, and you have to take more spiritual spring water, we might as well practice here for a while, the aura here is so strong, it is really a good place." ”

At this time, the five people had nothing else to do, and there was nothing else in the cave except this spiritual spring.

Qian Chao began to practice together, he took out a pen and paper, his eyes sparkled blue and looked at the surrounding cave walls and the top of his head, although the magic circle here was broken, but there were still a lot of runes that he had not seen before, so he was ready to draw the entire mutilated magic circle on paper before practicing.

The rest of the people saw Qian Chao concentrating on recording the surrounding magic circle, thinking that they had long been accustomed to it, so they didn't care, and after a few glances, they began to close their eyes and work hard.

Circling the stone wall of the empty cave hall for almost an hour, Qian Chao also floated up to look at the runes on the roof of the cave, and finally he was sure that the circle had been recorded before returning to a few companions, and the other four were meditating quietly, while Qian Chao stared at the dense circle he had just drawn on the paper.

The surroundings were quiet like this, only the soft sound of the spiritual spring water falling into the small jade bottle from time to time came to my ears.

……

Outside the cave, the night has already covered the heavens and the earth.

In an inconspicuous hole, a bonfire was burning, and it was Bai Lin and Yun Xi who were sitting opposite the bonfire.

In fact, for the monks, it doesn't matter whether there is a bonfire or not in the wilderness, first, they can see in the dark night, and secondly, even if there are wild beasts in the wild, they don't need a bonfire to drive them away, and building a bonfire is not so much for heating and lighting, but for relieving boredom.

Yun Xi sat in front of the campfire and stared at the dancing flames, listening boredly to the chatter of Bai Lin on the other side, what he said was nothing more than some more boring things in the sect.

Interrupting Bai Lin's words, Yun Xi said: "It seems that we were thrown away by those guys at the beginning, it must have been that little girl who recognized me in the Worship Academy, and then hid as soon as I left the sect, where should I go to find them now." ”

Bai Lin listened to the difficulty on his face and said, "This ...... The sect is so big, if you don't see it this time, it will be difficult to find it again, I thought they would also follow to see the excitement, but I didn't expect to find them after a few laps there, did they really give up the excitement and didn't see it, or really went to do something to send it, alas, it's not in a hurry, Sister Yun, if they are really avoiding us, they must be going in the opposite direction, let's look for it carefully tomorrow, or if we meet anyone on the road, just ask and find it. ”

Bai Lin's words were useless in Yun Xi's eyes, but she didn't bother to reply to him, and when she was sullen, there was a noise outside the cave.

Yun Xi and Bai Lin each relied on something, so this resting place did not bother to hide it, and the light from the bonfire in the cave in the night was very eye-catching, so it was not difficult to find the hiding place of the two of them.

The sound outside the cave sounded to Yunxi that it was obviously the sound of someone flying at high speed and breaking through the air, and there were uninvited guests approaching at this quiet night in the wild, which couldn't help but make her vigilant.

No matter how arrogant Bai Lin was, he found that someone was coming from outside the cave.

……

Three men walked in from the hole.

The first person was tall and rude-looking, and when he saw two people in the cave, he was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that there was a woman, so he glanced at Yun Xi twice, but he only looked at it twice, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, only looked at Bai Lin, and kept looking up and down.

"Who are you?" Bai Lin was a little nervous when he saw that the three of them were uninvited, but when he saw that the person was rude, he became a little taller.

However, the rude-looking man ignored him, stared at Bai Lin's face suspiciously, and then took out a piece of paper from his body and unfolded it to look at it, and then raised his eyes to look at Bai Lin on the other side, it seemed that the hole was not bright, so he also turned sideways, let the light of the bonfire shine on the paper in his hand, he looked at the paper carefully, and raised his eyes to look at Bai Lin carefully.

This person's rude behavior made Bai Lin even more annoyed, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was held on the shoulder by Yun Xi.

From Yun Xi's position, she could see clearly the contents of the piece of paper unfolded in the man's hand after turning sideways.

After Yun Xi gestured to Bai Lin with his eyes, Bai Lin also saw the piece of paper in the man's hand clearly.

"Boy, what's your name?" The rude-looking man asked.

"Humph! What's your name, and why are you so rude? Bai Lin replied.

The three people who entered the cave were naturally Dong Cheng, Yu Gizzard and An Zhen, and after discussing with Wen Zhang and Han Jin, they took the image given by Han Zhen all the way to find the traces of Qian Chao, but the sect was so big, even if they already knew the general direction of Qian Chao, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it, and it was night after looking for a long time, but it happened to find a fire from a cave in the air, and several people were eager to find Qian Chao and refused to let go of any suspicious place, so they looked for the direction of the firelight.

Speaking of Bai Lin and Qian Chao are of the same age, their size is about the same, although the eyebrows and eyes are not similar, but the portrait left by Han Jin, Qian Chao's eyebrows and eyes were deliberately painted by Han Qian with such a sarcastic and mocking meaning, this is just Han Jin secretly hated Qian Chao in his heart and deliberately did it, but this Bai Lin is a high-spirited person on weekdays, the temperament between his eyebrows and eyes and the Qian Chao on the portrait are so similar to Dong Cheng's eyes, so Dong Ji has a suspicious face and can't make up his mind.

"Who are the three senior brothers looking for?" Yun Xi had already seen that the cultivation of the three people in front of her was above the two of her, and they were outside the sect, so she didn't want to cause more trouble, so she stopped Bai Lin from talking, and she asked the three of them herself.

An Zhen among the three is a careful person, he knows that Dong Cheng is not only rude in appearance, but also an impatient character, there is something to do at this time, and it is not appropriate to delay, so he took over the conversation and said: "The two junior brothers and sisters are disturbed, may I ask if this junior brother's name is Qian Chao?" ”

In An Zhen's opinion, the kid in front of him is just a little similar to the money tide in the portrait, but it shouldn't be the money tide, but since he comes, he always has to ask.

"Qian Chao ......" Yun Xi was stunned, she had also heard of this name, by the way, among the four people who had been hanging out with Li Jian's kid, there was Qian Chao, but what were these three people doing in front of her looking for that Qian Chao?

"Are the three senior brothers mistaken, my brother is a subordinate of Shuiyun Valley, his surname is Bai, not Qian, if the three of them look for Qianchao, they will find the wrong person." Yunxi said.

The rude big man snorted in his nose at the beginning, and this Dong Cheng was also displeased with Bai Lin's complexion, and said, "You said no, didn't you?" Boy, show me your master's jade pendant, I want to test it! ”

This is to verify the right body!

Bai Lin was so angry that he didn't laugh angrily, he took a step back, patted the jade pendant on his waist, and sneered: "Okay, the jade pendant under you is here, if this senior brother wants to test it, come and get it yourself!" ”

As soon as An Zhen saw that this little guy whose cultivation was obviously inferior to his three people was so anxious and arrogant, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and now it seems that this person is obviously not the same person as the portrait, so he stretched out his hand and stopped Dong Bei, who was about to go over to do it, and said: "Brother Dong, this junior brother is obviously not the person we are looking for, we still have things to do, and it is not appropriate to cause more trouble." ”

Dong Cheng also listened to him, so he stopped his steps, said "cheap kid", and then turned around and walked out of the cave.

"I'm waiting for something, since I recognized the wrong person, please don't blame the two of you, and take your leave." An Zhen walked into the cave, and the two of them bowed their hands slightly, and they also walked out of the cave with Yu Gizzard.

Outside the cave, the sound of clothes breaking through the air sounded again, and it was clear that the three men had flown away.

"Humph! What, when I inquire about their names and surnames, I must make them look good! Bai Lin said hatefully.

"Quick, come out with me!" Yun Xi ignored him and said as he walked out of the cave.

"Eh, Sister Yun, they're all gone, what are they doing?"

Outside the cave, Yun Xi looked at the direction in which those people disappeared.

"Could it be that Sister Chengyun wants to catch up and teach them a lesson?" Bai Lin also looked at the night sky, and the three of them had already disappeared.

Yun Xi said angrily: "Hmph, you, they are looking for someone with a portrait, and they also said that the person they are looking for is named Qian Chao, isn't it?" ”

Bai Lin replied: "Yes, they found the wrong one, thinking that I was the one called Qian Chao, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong? Or did you help me inquire, there are four people around that Li Jian, one of them is a disciple of Jiuxuan, and his name is Qian Chao, have you forgotten? ”

Hearing this, Bai Lin came to his senses and said excitedly: "That's right! Senior sister means that we can follow up, as long as we follow those three guys, we can find Qian Chao...... Then you can find Li Jian's kid, right? ”

"It's good to know," Yun Xi's figure had already risen into the air when he said this, "Their cultivation is higher than ours, their body is fast, and if they chase slowly, they will never be found again." ”

"It's coming!"
