After Zhao Huai saw Lu Wanqiu from Mingyin Temple, the two sides just exchanged pleasantries for a while and said goodbye.

At most, he pestered Abbot Mingguang to ask for more details of the story.

Although he and Lu Wanqiu were both looking for the Lantern Girl, he didn't plan to cooperate with each other.

Because he had too many secrets on his body, he had been in turmoil for a long time, so he deliberately chose a staggered route with Lu Wanqiu.

Moreover, his current strength is not an exaggeration to say that he is standing at the top of the world, with the blessing of the [Peak Extreme Intention] life strength strength, the foundation building monks of one or two layers are not his opponents at all.

If you learn a little more magic powers, even if you deal with the old foundation building powerhouse, you may not have the power to fight.

Seeing Jindan, he could only run, but the monks above the Jindan realm lived in a simple place, and it was extremely difficult to see.

"There's the Spirit Mine in front of you."

Zhao Huai followed the starling and gradually entered an open area, and there was a big mountain behind the whole, but at the entrance of the mountain, there was a hole.

It was full of all kinds of transportation facilities, boxes of wooden carts, and piles of spirit stones, these were the most crude spirit mines, not even inferior spirit stones.

It must be purified through unified refining before it can be turned into a spirit stone.

At present, what can be seen is that people are pushing carts and walking out of the mine, and the sound of "cwing" comes from the mine.

The spirit crystal fragments sprinkled on the ground are all impurities in the spirit ore.

The grade of the spirit stone is simple and easy to see, and the inferior spirit stone is generally circulated in the secular and some small and medium-sized sects.

The Yuelu issued by the disciples of the famous large-scale immortal cultivation sect are all medium-grade spirit stones, and they are often generous.

High-grade spirit stones, elite disciples, true disciples, and sect elders can occasionally be seen on their hands, mostly for cultivation, just one can make ordinary people in the world rich and noble for half a lifetime.

The best spirit stones are not used as trading items, they are all extremely rare existences.

Every once in a while, there was a sect disciple on the tree dressed in a uniform white crane uniform, and his strength was about the fourth to seventh layers of qi training, and at first glance he was an outer disciple.

They are responsible for supervising the spiritual mine to avoid theft.

This spiritual mine is the property of Wangxian Sect, and the rent is from the people of Jinzhou, and it was negotiated with Jinzhou Taishou in advance, so the disciples of Wangxian Sect guard the important land, and ordinary people cannot enter.

But this was not difficult for Zhao Huai, I saw him smile slightly, restrain his breath, and then retreat into the darkness and disappear.

The gap in cultivation is here, even if it is the most basic qi, these outer disciples can't see the flaw.

Zhao Huai quickly quietly entered the back mountain of the spirit mine, came to the deep position, stood on a hillside, and looked at the busy people below.

"A thousand miles a day, a thousand miles a day."

Starling hovered in the air behind the mountain, shouting incessantly, obviously the destination had arrived.

"This is it?"

Zhao Huai frowned, this place is very ordinary, there is a deep mountain behind the spirit mine, and I can't see any special place, especially the tomb, I haven't seen it at all.

There are trees everywhere, where will there be graves?

The only thing he was curious about was why the starling didn't take those rare spirit stones.

Do you want to bite a broken bone?

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, in the quiet environment, Zhao Huai heard the sound of flowing water.

Following the sound of the murmuring water, slowly approaching, a very thin stream appeared in front of me, interspersed through the trees.

Zhao Huai took a step, only to find that his feet were slimy, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a thin mud contaminated with the stream.

This moment.

A familiar feeling welled up in my heart.

Zhao Huai felt more and more familiar to this place, and the memories in his mind gradually overlapped with this place.

It's basically certain in my heart.

This is the place he passed through in his dreams, the river in the night.

It's just that one is daytime and the other is night.

It stands to reason that if you go further ahead, you will come across a hut, and then a woman in white with a lantern will appear.

Zhao Huai relied on the impression in his dream and continued to walk forward.

The magic weapon sword appeared in his hand, and the cold light was shining.

Full sleeves of thunder charms, the trend is ready to go.

Now that the hexagram has become "Fu" again, Zhao Huai is very confident, because it shows that his direction is not wrong.

As he had guessed, the collection of spiritual ore alarmed the evil cult sleeping here, and the Lantern Girl was reborn.

As long as you deal with her, you can get a good night's sleep.

However, Zhao Huai walked for a long time and did not see the so-called wooden house.

Not to mention the Lantern Girl.

The road ahead was getting darker and darker, and the intersecting branches of the trees blocked out the sun, leaving it pitch black in front of the eyes, with only a small amount of sunlight shining out from the gaps in the leaves, leaving a reflection on the ground.

"Rustle!"

There was movement in the jungle, and a black shadow flashed very quickly.

Zhao Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, the true yuan was agitated, the sword pointed in the direction, and the magic weapon sword immediately shot out.

The spirit sword was fast, accurate, and ruthless, and directly hit the target.

Zhao Huai has reached the foundation, and the true yuan is released, and he can completely stand in the air, and his body swept over to take a look.

He glanced at it and saw that it was nothing more than a severed branch.

"Whoa!"

The surrounding trees moved in unison, and vines whipped from the air, and as far as the eye could see, there were hundreds.

A tree appeared in front of Zhao Huai's eyes, a very large tree, just in terms of the thickness of the torso, there were seven or eight people's hugging size.

With just one leap, he dodged the whip of the vines.

The spirit sword "boom", like lightning, immediately returned to its sheath.

Zhao Huai held the hilt of the sword in his hand, took a light breath, and a sharp momentum suddenly emerged, and a wave of qi spread out.

"Phew!"

The moment the spirit sword was unsheathed, only the light of the sky-piercing sword was seen, which instantly made the entire secluded forest become transparent.

This sword is like a lightning bolt that pierces the sky and blooms in the night, breaking through the darkness and illuminating the light.

After finishing the sword, Zhao Huai stroked the blade of the sword and quietly collected the sword.

The vines in the sky that had just been dancing wildly by the demons all fell to the ground softly, and the deep forest was quiet again.

After a breath.

The entire stout tree was cut off, and a large amount of green blood gushed out.

This is true swordsmanship.

Steady, and fast.

Since Zhao Huai had the blessing of the [Kendo Wizard] [Kenshin Tongming] life, his cultivation of swordsmanship has become more and more elevated.

The power of the sword drawing technique is also several times stronger than before.

This hundred-year-old dryad, in front of him, can only hold on for a breath.

Zhao Huai looked at the dryad who had been cut in half, there was no wave in his eyes, and he was even a little distressed.

The lantern girl didn't find it, but instead found a dryad, which was enough to fail.

After a while, a trace of pure energy poured out of the dryad's crippled trunk and escaped into his body.

Zhao Huai felt very comfortable all over his body, as if he had come out of a bath, the true yuan of his whole body was extremely active, and his cultivation had grown slowly, saving him a month of hard work.

Zhao Huai suddenly realized that it was the fate of the [Demon Punishment] that was slowly activated.

His own attack methods are extremely threatening to monsters, and not only can the damage be increased, but every time a demon is killed, the cultivation will be improved.

"It's a bonus."

Zhao Huai smiled lightly.

It's good to punish demons, but where are there so many monsters, and if you open your eyes for a day, you may not be able to find one.

"Fool, fool."

Starling slowly flew down from the tip of the tree and landed on Zhao Huai's shoulder, Xiaodouzi's eyes rolled, and he was very clever.

This guy is smart, he fakes, and he is the first to run, and he is definitely a model of not dragging his feet.

"You call me a fool? It's all a good thing you provoked, are you sorry? Zhao Huai vented to the starling.

Then he also calmed down and thought quietly.

He felt that there should be two important reasons why the Lantern Girl did not appear.

The first is the environment, maybe she can only affect people in dreams, but she can't deal with people in reality.

Secondly, it is a matter of time, and it may not be until the evening when the other party can show up.

Either way, the above is all conjecture.

It would be nice if dreams and reality could be linked together, Zhao Huai couldn't help but think.

That's right! Dreams and reality!

Zhao Huai glanced at the remaining blood scab on his arm, and had a brain-opening idea in his mind.

Since Lantern Girl likes to kill people in her dreams, and the damage she does can be projected onto reality.

This shows that she also exists, has a part of reality, but is good at hiding in dreams.

So why can't you bring her to reality?

This is theoretically possible.

The damage she caused can come to reality, and it's okay to bring her here.

Zhao Huai thought about the feasibility of this idea for a long time.

In the end, I felt that it was worth a try.

The only thing I had to pay attention to was not to provoke her in my dreams.

Zhao Huai observed that the lantern girl was fine when she was in a white state and would not hurt anyone.

But once the lantern turns red, it will fall into a rampage and start killing.

To be on the safe side, you have to make a wake-up alarm first.

Zhao Huai raised his eyes and glanced at the branches and thought for a while.

Sleeping on a tree is just enough to do, as long as there is any big movement in the dream, it will fall from the tree, won't it wake up?

"Good, that's all."

Zhao Huai decided on a way to find a safe place to sleep.

For the first time, he thought of Mingyin Temple.

It's relatively clean there, and there are no people, and if you fight with the lantern girl, you won't hurt the innocent.

Soon, Zhao Huai returned to the vicinity of Mingyin Temple, and chose a pine tree a hundred meters away for half a day as a sleeping position.

And set up ninety-nine eighty-one thunder charms around the big tree.

Suppress the thunder rune, kill the thunder rune, the five elements thunder rune...

No matter what kind of ghost it is, you have to taste the taste of Leifa.

After making preparations, Zhao Huai was about to fall asleep, and before that, he also deliberately glanced at the results of the copper coin toss.

The hexagram remains the same, and the result is still "Fu", which shows that this trip is worth a try.

He leaned against the thin branches, motionless, his eyes narrowed.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

...

In the dream, the moonlight is still dazzling, and the black clouds are piled up layer by layer.

Zhao Huai came to the familiar woods, and there was still a large thin mist in front of him.

"Here I go again."

This time, Zhao Huai's preparation was sufficient, and he planned to cure this lantern girl.

Walking to the familiar stream, but before he could see the wooden house, he saw a woman in white squatting next to the stream.

Or digging in the mud, lanterns on the side, emitting firelight, only this time the birthplace is different?

Zhao Huai came to ten meters behind her, but the other party didn't react at all, which made him very puzzled.

"Doesn't she have a memory of me?"

Didn't you see it in your dream last time, is it cleared?

Zhao Huai pressed the fox suspicion and slowly stepped forward.

The quiet lantern girl, digging mud and babbling in her mouth, like a mad man.

Zhao Huai planned to go out this time to ask about the Lantern Girl's past, and set a set of words from the other party.

He cleared his throat and said, "Hello..."

As soon as Zhao Huai spoke, the lantern girl who was squatting on the ground stood up, and the lantern on the ground flew up directly and fell into her hands.

The lantern girl turned around and walked towards Zhao Huai step by step, her eyes already glowing with red light.

The flames in the white lantern faltered.

"I haven't finished yet..."Zhao Huai said speechlessly.

Lao Tzu's words didn't even start to say, and you transformed?

The Lantern Girl looks extremely weird, and her appearance is no longer as fresh and beautiful as before.

"You see... It's mine... Is it fair? ”

The voice became choppy, and hoarse and low, like the roar of a great man.

This time Zhao Huai saw clearly how she "transformed", her mouth gradually lengthened and cracked, her eyes were twisted as if they were shrunken, and her five fingers slowly became longer, which was very sharp.

Zhao Huai could feel the stinking wind blowing on his face, and he knew that if he didn't say something again, the lantern girl would go berserk.

In the face of such a terrifying nightmare, Zhao Huai's face did not change, and he smiled slightly:

"I seem to know where your husband is."

As soon as these words came out, the lantern girl was obviously stunned, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Really... It's true? ”

Zhao Huai nodded: "I already have an idea, as long as you cooperate with me, maybe you can find a partner." ”

"Before that, you go back to the way you were."

After hearing this, the lantern girl was silent for a few seconds, and finally compromised.

"Okay."

In an instant, the lantern girl changed back to her previous fresh and beautiful appearance, and the lantern turned white again.

The white dress is fluttering, the eyes are bright, the eyes are shining, and there is a dignified girl.

Zhao Huai knew that he had found the right formula and found the key, and the blind death match was inferior, so it was better to take a look around first.

"As long as I can find my husband, I can do whatever you ask me to do." The Lantern Girl said seriously.

"Really?" Zhao Huai raised his eyebrows and said.

The lantern girl looked pitiful and nodded slightly.

"Then tell me first, what happened after you went out to look for your father-in-law?"

Zhao Huai's purpose is clear, if he can find out where the Lantern Girl's grievances are, maybe he will be able to solve the trouble.

Therefore, it is very important to know as much as possible about the experience of the Lantern Girl.

The lantern girl lowered her head and thought slowly: "I remember walking in the mountains for a long time, I was very tired, that night, it was very dark, I almost got lost, but I was very worried about the safety of Xianggong, because he hadn't written to me for three months. ”

"I gritted my teeth and persevered, and finally got to the state, and then I found out..."

As she spoke, the Lantern Girl's expression began to be wrong, and she seemed to be in pain.

Moreover, the flame of the white lantern in his hand kept shaking, as if it was about to be extinguished at any time.

Zhao Huai looked at her like this and knew that he had finally found a blind spot.

As long as you figure out what happened to the Lantern Girl when she arrived in the state, everything will be solved.

"I found... He betrayed me..."

The Lantern Girl finally said this, but by this time, her voice had become hoarse again.

Seeing this, Zhao Huai said something bad.

At present, the resolution of grievances is not smooth.

...
