Chapter 28: The Atavism

He Xinyue's sister and brother took care of many herbs that were difficult to find outside, and they were happy to be seventy or eighty years old twins like teenagers. At that time, He Xinyang thought that Yang Yi would be his brother-in-law sooner or later, and he had long regarded him as his brother, and he was eight points of trust and two points of coquettishness. He Hongxue really didn't know how Lingxi Valley taught children, why He Xinyang, who was seventy or eighty years old—although he looked like he was only in his early twenties—was still so coquettish, while his sister He Xinyue, who was the same twin as him, was much more stable.

These two sisters and brothers are both heirs who have been recognized by Shennong Ding, the treasure of Lingxi Valley's town brand, both of them are in the foundation building Dacheng period, and the Jindan period is only one foot away, I am afraid that Lingxi Valley released the two people together also wants them to find an opportunity to break through the Jindan in the secret realm. The medical cultivation of the Jindan period is already rare, if the sister and brother can really change the dragon and snake between the wood and geese this time, and find the opportunity to break through the realm together, Lingxi Valley will become the mainstay of medical cultivation in the next two or three hundred years.

After traveling west for a long time, when everyone began to relax, a temple appeared on the horizon, although it was covered by layers of dense forests, it looked like an inch of blue and far away, but it was still recognized by everyone.

Several people came to the spirit one by one.

It's almost conventional.,As long as there are buildings in the secret realm, it means that there will be a receipt.,It seems that the predecessors of those who cultivate immortals always like to hide some treasure chests in a certain corner.,And then get a group of crooked monsters who don't know where to collect and guard.,It's called "trial.。

"Wait for me, let's go through this temple today, and I'll burn it clean if there's nothing good." He Hongxue didn't look energetic all the way, but she got her strength down, took out a little gold pen and was about to take the lead, but was stopped by Yang Yi.

"Be careful, there's someone on the other side." Yang Yi pointed to a few figures in the distance, but there was no sense of their Yuyuntai, and he didn't know who they were. The opposite side obviously also saw the temple and them who tried to enter it, and under the stalemate between the two phases, Yang Yi first tentatively spoke: "Yang Yi in Xia Yu Yuntai, may I ask who is the Taoist friend on the other side?" ”

He tried to use Yuyuntai's reputation to bluff off some of the petty people so that there would be no recurrence of the previous sneak attack.

There were about three or four people on the opposite side, led by a woman in black wearing a Tang knife, who was obviously relieved to hear the name of Yuyuntai, and saluted: "In the Wushuang Castle, Zhan Baorong, fortunately." ”

Wushuang Fort is the first designated transportation sect in the logistics of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it is also a famous and upright sect, which also made He Hongxue and his party breathe a sigh of relief. The surname of the person who came was from the treasure word, it should be the descendant of Wushuang Fort, and the Tang knife on his waist was extraordinary. He Hongxue poked her head out from behind Yang Yi, pointed to the black scabbard Tang knife on her waist and asked, "This is 'Hanhai'?" ”

"Oh? Do you know 'Hanhai'? Zhan Baorong raised her eyebrows, as the eldest lady of the Wushuang Castle, she was the only genius in the younger generation of the Wushuang Castle who had just broken through the Jindan, this time the father of the secret realm specially handed over the Wushuang Castle heavy weapon "Hanhai" to her, but she didn't expect the people of Yuyuntai to recognize it at a glance.

"It's really 'Hanhai'. In the next He Hongxue, the gold pen He Hongxue. He Hongxue jumped out from behind Yang Yi, "Can I take a look?" This knife is so beautiful. ”

Probably because the light in He Hongxue's eyes was too enthusiastic, Zhan Baorong turned sideways a little unconsciously and moved "Hanhai" back: "If there is a chance, Daoist friends will definitely see Hanhai unsheathed, don't be in a hurry." ”

"That's right. Are you going to go in? He Hongxue's speed of changing the topic caught Zhan Baorong off guard.

"There are multiple entrances here, and Taoist friends can do their own thing." Zhan Baorong replied, and did not mean to go with them. He Hongxue was not humble, and after saying hello, he led a few people into the temple through a corner gate.

This temple has probably been in the secret realm for some years, the corners of the wall are crawling with vines, the vines are blooming with small white flowers that have never been seen, and a faint mist surrounds the temple, and the carved beams of the painting that should have been vermilion have begun to turn black and paint, and they feel that they will collapse if no one comes. After walking through the two corridors, a sign appeared in front of everyone, with a few big words written in black on a white background: "There is no treasure here".

Several fell silent.

In the middle of the night, He Hongxue held a gold pen in her left hand, and the thick ink condensed at the end of the pen from nowhere.

The crowd fell silent again.

Just when everyone was speechless about the predecessors who built the temple and He Hongxue, the sound of mechanical operation sounded from the ground, and a tunnel appeared under the sign "There is a treasure here".

This time it was He Hongxue's turn to drop the gold pen in her hand, it was the first time she had met an immortal cultivator who was as boring as her.

Probably this is called the inheritance of destiny, but it resonates with character.

During the day, she somehow recalled some of the secret realm experiences, but it didn't help He Hongxue's current situation, she saw that she couldn't find anything during the day, so she took Cen Yan to walk around the villages and towns, there are all villages and towns in Liangtian Meichi, Sangzhu, and there are candy blowers who pinch noodles, all of them are bartering, and the younger ones have never heard of what money is.

Before He Hongxue came out, she chopped a lot of firewood in the forest, just in time to exchange for some small things.

When she met a stall painting candy painting, her and Cen Yan's feet seemed to be stuck and they couldn't walk anymore.

The firewood she carried was just enough for three paintings, and the boss of the sugar painting opened the turntable to let her spin, and when she turned herself, she used the boss's spiritual power to fix the pointer on the most complicated dragon while the boss was not paying attention. This is not simply to eat more sugar, but she is artificially increasing the complexity of the sugar painting, as explained by Cen Yan and the two last night, the more complex the illusion, the easier it is to make mistakes, and she wants to create the greatest variables here to figure out her situation.

That being said, but she licked a dragon made of sugar, and when Cen Yan turned to look at the butterfly with a thief smile, Zhang Mu still saw the cunning in her eyes. When it was Zhang Mu's turn, he flicked the pointer seemingly casually, and the pointer turned twice on the yellowed woodblock print, and finally stopped at the only three-dimensional sugar painting, the flower basket.

He Hongxue suddenly felt that the dragon in his hand was not fragrant. Zhang Mu smiled and grabbed the edge of the flower basket, winked at He Hongxue, and made her so angry that she pulled Cen Yan away.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm Joint Conference is still a few days away, and He Hongxue has not yet heard any news, Wei Chun has already begun to retreat and prepare to take the Jindan Dacheng on the same day. As for the negative news about Yuyuntai, there has been no response at all in the past few days, how to respond to unnecessary things, just wait for the day of the joint enrollment conference of the Immortal Cultivation Realm to see how the momentum builders are ready to make trouble.

"I checked the classics for several days, and also tested Xiao Miao's blood, her blood is no different from ordinary people, except for the two small horns on her head, her bones are no different from ordinary people, but she is a little malnourished, but she has almost been raised in Yuyuntai these days." Yang Yi made a report to Jiang Heqiu, who was connected to the mountain protection array, and when he wanted to speak, Jiang Heqiu motioned for him to continue.

"According to the classics, this phenomenon appeared hundreds of years ago and was called 'atavism' in the book."

"Atavism?"

"Atavism refers to the phenomenon of inheriting certain traits of ancestors by chance in some organisms." Yang Yi also explained, "If the horned trait of Xiao Miao really belongs to the atavistic phenomenon, it will draw even more outrageous conclusions." ”

"Because all along, the only high-intelligence creatures with horns are demons."

"Whether it's because of atavism or a mix of humans and demons, it shows one thing, that is, humans and demons have a common ancestor, and the difference between humans and demons is only a thousand years."

Jiang Heqiu untied the strip of cloth on his eyes, looked at Yang Yi and said, "You mean, friend and foe are of the same origin?" ”

"Yes, but there is still a contradiction." Yang Yi handed over the test report, "In the time that can be checked, 'demon' is a long-standing word, and the concept of 'demon' has been formed long before our hypothetical differentiation of humans and demons. Again, this is contrary to our assumption that we are of the same origin. ”

Jiang Heqiu flipped through the experimental report, and finally said: "Perhaps, it's not contradictory." Then he returned the experiment report to Yang Yi and talked about some miscellaneous matters: "Let's put aside the affairs of the demon clan first, do you really plan to hide from He Xinyue all the time?" ”

Yang Yi didn't expect Jiang Heqiu, who had always been serious, to ask this question, he didn't speak, because he didn't understand how to fulfill the stubborn promises made over the years, he took the report back into his pocket, sighed deeply in front of his senior brother in charge, and finally spit out the truth: "How can I be unconcerned, but how can I meet her......"

He Hongxue in the secret realm finally waited until the evening, and Brother Li came back and said to them a little apologetically that he had not found the exit yet, which was all expected by He Hongxue, the lights were turned off at night, and the three of them pretended to sleep on the kang. When Orion's eldest brother Li and Grandma Li were asleep, she untied the reins of the radish and took Cen Yan and Zhang Mu to the center of the village and town.

This time they arrived at the location of the ancestral hall very smoothly, and after carefully observing that there was no one keeping vigil at night, He Hongxue asked the radish to wait outside the door, and walked into the small hall with Cen Yan and Zhang Mu.

The statue that was originally closed with its eyes closed was indeed opened!

The moment the statue saw He Hongxue, it cracked its mouth and laughed. A stone sculpture made a living facial expression, this scene made He Hongxue goosebumps, and he was really in a strange and funny way and didn't know how to describe it.

"The doll is very guts, how about it, is my Heavenly Absolute Array fun?"

He Hongxue scolded her mother in her heart, fortunately, she only used a simple spell to explore the way in the past two days, and did not try to use cultivation to break the formation, otherwise who would have thought that there was still an ancient great array hidden here!

"It's fun, it's fun, then you've had enough old man's fun, can you let us out?" He Hongxue laughed at a statue, and the picture was as weird as it was.
