It's not early, and it's time for people who have been running around all day to sleep for a while, because tomorrow's main task is still to rush at full speed, and Xingliuyun and Hongxiang didn't make much effort during the day today, so Xiao Cong sent them to be on duty that night.

But at this moment, a loud baby cry suddenly rose, startling Ouyang Xun, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and for some reason, the child who had been quiet for most of the day actually cried at this moment.

The nerves that had just been relaxed were hooked up by brushing, making Xiao Cong feel a hundred claws scratching his heart, if it weren't for the hidden shadow hiding array to defend it, this call would not have attracted all the giants in the entire core area.

The ghost girl carefully picked up the baby, slowly shook and patted gently, like those little daughters-in-law who were still breastfeeding, she learned well, but the ghost girl was slender and looked like a fairy, and she looked more like a loving sister.

The child's cry became smaller and smaller, and gradually only a small snort like a dream remained, and the girl smiled and said to the others:

"It's okay, you can sleep in peace, I'll take care of him. ”

......

At three o'clock the next day, everyone woke up one after another, climbed to the top of a purple leaf locust tree, finished the morning class, and then ran for another day, fortunately, the child was hidden in the tortoise shell that Ouyang Xun carried, not crying or making trouble, and did not let Xiao Cong spend too much precious time on him.

Day after day......

It was about to approach the heart of the Guzhou Plain, but Ying Pei suggested at this time to go around, and it was better not to go there, because it was too risky.

Xiao Cong asked the reason, and Ying Pei replied,

"Legend has it that there is an immortal spirit in the mysterious area in the center of the Guzhou Plain, and there are also rumors that there is a strange belt where there is no return, opportunities and dangers coexist, and even danger is higher than opportunities, anyway, for thousands of years, no living beings have ever entered, with our strength to approach, let alone go out, even going in is a fantasy!"

Xiao Cong nodded in agreement, and was about to take everyone around the walk, but Jia Yin put forward a different opinion, she said earnestly, saying that she needed a strange poison called Wu Xiangrui, which could only be picked near the center of the Guzhou Plain, so she hoped that Xiao Cong could go a little further and help her.

Along the way, although Xiao Cong believed in everyone around him 100% in his heart, he still did not forget to observe their movements, he noticed that Jiayin had never been idle along the way, and had picked a lot of poisons that he didn't dare to touch, but he didn't expect that the ambition of this White Lotus Village owner was so big, and he also wanted the strange poison that grew near the heart of the Guzhou Plain named Wu Xiangrui, which could make this White Lotus Village owner with a heart higher than the sky attach so much importance to it, and he did not hesitate to put down his body and beg him, obediently, this is definitely not an easy errand, but after all, Jiayin has been with them for so long, and it is the first time he has taken the initiative to make a request, even if he refuses to be tactful, after all, it will be impossible to get over it, but if you agree, your life will be difficult to protect.

"That's good. ”

Xiao Cong was in a dilemma, thought about it again, and agreed, and Jiayin also promised:

"Rest assured, if this is really difficult, I will not force it. ”

This old girl, when she says a warm soft word, she seems so strong.

The closer you get to the heart of the Guzhou Plain, the more scarce the living creatures are, and it seems that the giants who are connected to the heavenly realm are a little respectful and far away, like watching a green lotus that is not stained by the mud, which can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

Walking here, in Xiao Cong's powerful spiritual sense, he could no longer feel the existence of any living beings except for the grass and wood spirits, which made him have some ominous premonitions, and he asked Jiayin as he ran:

"Do you know anything else that is useful about this unscented stamen?"

"Where?" Gayin asked.

Xiao Cong said truthfully:

"I'm just a little wondering if it's so quiet here, as long as we can get to the place where the fragrant stamen grows, and the picking is so easy, is it a little too smooth, such a smooth thing, and such a precious thing, it can't be our turn. ”

Gayin smiled,

"Don't worry, this matter is not so easy, it's just not time yet, the reason why we are safe all the way is entirely because of the baby with the spirit vein, if it weren't for this, every ancient tree here would become our enemy, and we wouldn't have been able to get here at all, but before we find the Wu Xiangrui, we have to go through a tricky barrier, that barrier is also composed of ancient trees, but they are not like the ones around us now, they have no life, so they don't recognize the set of the spirit vein baby, and it will definitely take a little more effort at that time, and one more thing, this strange thing without Xiangrui is not a rare thing for the surrounding giants, and this thing grows a lot in that area, and it can't be harvested at all. ”

Xiao Cong nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked:

"Why do we have the Spiritual Vein Infant in hand, these old trees will not hinder us, they are also spiritual cultivators, and one day they will also strive for the position of true immortals, and they should also covet the Spiritual Vein Infant. ”

Gayin tugged at the corners of his mouth,

"I don't dare to say whether they have the heart to covet it, but in the end, there is still a weak heart, aside from the harsh contract between them and the spiritual vein, all the cultivation in the ancient Zhou Plain on the grass and wood spirit, the original power of their body is derived from the spiritual vein, that is to say, the power in their life and the power contained in the spiritual vein is the same attribute, the most basic connotation of the avenue is the same sex repulsion, yin and yang and higher depth of yin and yang transformation, but these three are not feasible for them and the spiritual vein, if any of them devours the spiritual vein, then his only fate is to explode and die, and the soul is scattered！”

Xiao Cong gasped,

"And what about the harsh pact between them?"

"This contract is not a real contract, but a mysterious connection between them and the spiritual vein, especially the grass and trees that sprouted on the ancient Zhou Plain, due to the long-term nourishment of the spiritual vein, after they are psychic, the spiritual vein has become a part of their life, if the spiritual vein disappears, then this part of their life will also disappear, this influence not only exists between the spiritual vein and the grass and trees, but also exists in some insects and beasts native to the ancient Zhou Plain, but compared to the grass and trees, the insects and beasts are less affected, the spiritual veins are born, then the ancient Zhou Plain is prosperous, the spiritual veins are dead, and the ancient Zhou Plains are barren, it is precisely because of this common constraint, so the spirits of the plants and trees on the Guzhou Plain will definitely be loyal to the spirit veins, this is their root!"

After listening to Jiayin's explanation, Xiao Cong slowly came to his senses, and couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh,

"As long as we have the spiritual vein in hand, we will be monolithic with the entire Guzhou Plain, not to mention ambush and robbery, not even betrayal. ”

Gain was noncommittal.

At this time, I heard Xiao Cong clamping Hongxiang Nuonuo under his armpit asking:

"Gayin Niangniang, I have a question. ”

"You say. ”

Seeing Hongxiang's abnormal behavior, Xiao Cong knew that there must be nothing good next.

Sure enough.

"I want to ask, you say that even the unfragrant stamen is not a good thing, but in contrast, what is a good thing in that place full of unfragrant stamens? What does it look like, and what is so precious?"

Gayin's face was a little dark,

"What are you going to do?"

Hongxiang's eyes dodged,

"I ...... I just think it's hard to come back, of course, it's to maximize the benefits, anyway, it's all ownerless, don't take it for nothing, don't take it for nothing, in case you can use it in the future. ”

Gayin's eyes showed a rare stern color,

"Let me tell you, the plants and trees in that place do not belong to the Guzhou Plain, they are the subordinate of another mysterious and evil force, if we move something that should not be moved, it is bound to awaken the sleeping power, I know that your brother Xiao Cong is running for his life, but in the face of him, it is still inevitable to die. ”

I didn't feel at ease when it was over, and I specially instructed Xiao Cong,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, please take care of your little brother when the time comes. ”

Xiao Cong smiled all over his face, and hurriedly promised:

"Senior, don't worry, after we get there, we will definitely only take no fragrant stamen, and nothing else, we won't touch anything!"

Gayin nodded,

"I believe in you. ”

Xiao Cong mercilessly knocked on Hongxiang's head and whispered:

"You talk a lot!"

Hongxiang felt very aggrieved and muttered in a low voice,

"I'm not preparing for you, it's your forte, okay, your old man's hand, when have you been idle?"

Xiao Cong listened, feeling angry and funny, what Hongxiang said was indeed the truth, so that he was embarrassed to beat him again when he heard it, but this was a wake-up call for him, even if he could not move like a Buddha at that time, there was a star cloud next to him that has always preached "there is a cheap and don't take advantage of the turtle bastard"!

This is a problem that must be taken seriously, picking up treasures is a small matter, looking for an old unicorn is a big matter, they only came here after nine deaths, they can't be a bamboo basket because of a dispensable spiritual treasure, so what a sad thing he has to be, and he must not be laughed to death when he passes it out?

Therefore, he couldn't wait to tell everyone in the team about this new rule, and he repeated the orders, so that everyone felt strange when they looked at him - is this still the chic and uninhibited Fourth Young Master Xiao?

There is a lot of fog ahead, and the surrounding mist is thick, Xiao Cong doesn't know when they rushed into this psychedelic land or this smoke barrier doesn't know when it rises next to them, there must be demons when things happen, if it doesn't represent any danger, it means that they are probably very close to their destination.

Sure enough, Gayin reminded:

"Passing through this poisonous barrier is the last pass I told you about before, everyone be careful, lean a little closer in case there is any sudden danger. ”

The star cloud fussed as if it had been stepped on by its tail:

"What, this fog is poisonous, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Gayin's voice is calm,

"Don't worry, this is the poisonous mist produced by the mutual erosion between the tree guards guarding the edge of the heart of the Guzhou Plain and the evil force, and it is not very toxic, and it does not pose any danger to the monks above the Heavenly Realm. ”

Although Jiayin said that the poisonous mist was not dangerous to Xingliuyun and the others, for the sake of safety, Xiao Cong still distributed a high-level poison avoidance pill to each person, these pills were taken from Xiao Tianyu's mustard, until now Xiao Cong still has a heart for Jiayin, beware of the other party knowing his relationship with Jiang Caijun - it is said that women who are in contact with love are the most crazy, and the ghost knows what kind of extraordinary actions this old girl will do after knowing the true relationship between Xiao Cong and Jiang Caijun.

Through the mist, a hideous forest of dead trees appeared in the distance, and between the good trees of the ancient Zhou Plain and the dead trees, there was also a separation zone about ten zhang wide, and the blood-red soil looked as if it had just been roasted by the flames.

The group stopped on this side of the barrier, their feet still completely on the ground covered with a thick layer of leaves, this forest was obviously not as verdant as the ones they had walked before, they had been corrupted by evil forces and still stubbornly maintained the autumn style, but they were not as poetic as the other of their kind in the Fallen Flowers, they were more like a group of warriors, even though they were covered in bruises, but they still had a strong spirit, and their heads were held high and their backs were straight.

On the other side of the red isolation belt, there is a dead wood forest that cannot be seen at a glance, with long teeth and claws, the atmosphere is weird, and the contrast with the scenery here, Xiao Cong even suspects that it is a camouflage of demons and monsters, as long as a living creature steps in, the demons will dance wildly in an instant, no matter how much you cultivate, you will inevitably tear it to pieces, and then eat it little by little with the condiment, but just their little people, it is not enough for them to stuff their teeth, and when the time comes, the wolves will fight for food, how miserable the death is.

In this way, this is not just as simple as a pass, as Gayin said, but a large dangerous place full of dangers.

Xingliuyun, who was carried on Zainong's back, stretched his neck hard, his eyes were blank, and suddenly he swallowed his saliva and muttered:

"I'll go, how can this pass? ”

Xiao Cong also felt a chill when he looked at it, not only because of the creepy scene in front of him, but also because he deeply felt that this piece of heaven and earth was being tightly suppressed by something, and if they rushed over, their already poor strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

"According to the seniors, what should we do next?" Xiao Cong turned his face and asked Jiayin.

Gayin stared at the gloomy woods ten zhang away for a moment, and slowly spoke,

"As far as I know, if you want to cross this dividing line, you must have a very quintessential and profound mental protection, we have been circulating a legend in the White Lotus Village, when the White Buddha first came to the ancient Zhou Plain, he once went there to pick an extremely considerable number of Wu Xiangrui for the White Lotus Village, relying on the supreme Buddhist mind, I think, the scripture written by Hongxiang before should be about the same, if there is the blessing of the original text, it will be no problem. ”

Hongxiang has always been very special from the perspective of grasping the key points in other people's words,

"Since the White Buddha has already carried a considerable amount of unfragrant stamen for your White Lotus Village back then, then what are you still doing here?"

Gayin sighed faintly,

"Although the number is considerable, but that is a long time ago, in the unremitting efforts of more than ten generations of village owners, the scale and strength of the White Lotus Village have expanded rapidly, in order to create more masters, sit and eat the mountain empty, there is no fragrant stamen, this strange thing, has disappeared for a long time in the White Lotus Village. ”

"And it's an excellent choice for you White Lotus Village people to build a foundation, without it, the power of White Lotus Village will decay rapidly, right?" Xiao Cong continued Jiayin's words and asked rhetorically.

Gayin looked helpless and nodded.

Xiao Cong's eyes are deep, looking at the dead wood forest ten zhang away, his eyes seem to be able to pass through the dead wood forest and see the scene behind it, after this period of time together, he has understood the personality of Jiayin, this is a woman who says the same, she is very sincere about everything, she must do what she says, and the grievances are clear, if this time Xiao Cong can help her pick enough no fragrant stamen, but she has been depressed for a long time in her heart, then she will definitely remember Xiao Cong's kindness, because of the white lotus village that has become strong again because of the lack of fragrant stamen, at least one-third of the power must be his, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, if there is any need for white lotus village in the future, then this mysterious tribe inherited from the "Great Fan-like Poison Technique" will definitely shine, this is a sure-fire deal.

"And then?" Xiao Cong's voice suddenly remembered, mixed with a bit of heaviness.

Gayin's eyes were a little more radiant, and his voice also fluctuated.

"Then"

But just by spitting out these two words, the whole person dimmed again,

And then ...... I don't know what to do, legend has it that the White Buddha was killed directly back then......"

Everyone's faces suddenly became ugly, especially Xingliuyun, a handsome face was almost pulled into a donkey face, according to his character, at this time, he should have spit out a few frustrating words from the dog's mouth, but this time he wanted to speak and stopped, opened his mouth and didn't say anything after all, he knew in his heart that if it was put aside, it would be okay, it would have come here, and it would be superfluous to say anything, and according to Xiao Cong's character, he would definitely not give up on this matter.

Xiao Cong shook his head slowly and sighed:

"It's simply impossible for us to get in, think about it, and see if there's any other way. ”

He didn't turn his head, just looked into the distance, as if he was talking to himself, his voice was very calm, but it gave people a very stable feeling.

Gayin's face glowed again, and through her autumn-like eyes, it seemed that she could see a spark of hope.

But this is not a simple matter after all, let alone come up with a suitable idea in a short period of time, under the influence of Xiao Cong, everyone fell into contemplation, thinking about whether there is any way to cross the dead wood forest and go directly to the place full of fragrant stamens, even though they know that this matter is difficult, but they are still willing to do their best to try it, what are they doing this way? Isn't it just to break the impossibility in those secular concepts, and now for them, it is just a small test, there are more and more difficult challenges waiting for them in the future, making the impossible possible, will become their creed!
