Xu Ruluan and Miss Leng are both first-order evils, and they don't have Xu Ruyan's concealment effect. If they choose to let them come to Xiaozhu Peak on their own, once they get close to the Lingxiao Sect, if they are told by the monk's talisman, there is a high probability that there will be a conflict.

Whether it was Xu Ruluan's extermination or the monk's invasion by evil spirits, it was not what Chen Ping wanted to see.

So Chen Ping followed Xu Ruyan directly to the Demon Ruins.

This distance is not far for Chen Ping.

When I arrived at the ruins of the Demon Punishment, I looked at the huge pits within a radius of several miles at the site, and the broken branches of thick trees covered with moss, like the bluestone section cut by a knife. Chen Ping sighed, you can imagine how tragic the battle here was back then.

Decades later, this is the first time Chen Ping has visited the area.

In fact, it's not just Chen Ping who hasn't been here.

Many other monks do not come to this area without special missions.

Because there were many high-level monks who fell back then, the filthy aura here was everywhere, even if you walked here in broad daylight, you would have a faint fever, and if it was at night, it would be even more terrifying.

And because this was a former demon cave, the demon cultivator had been entrenched here for many years, and even now, Chen Ping could still sense a faint demonic aura when he walked out of here.

This is truly a paradise for the wicked.

"Master, Yan'er goes ahead, let's come in together." Xu Ruyan led the way in front.

What does it mean to go in together?

Chen Ping looked around:

"It's not us, it's you. Go and call them up. ”

Back then, the demon cultivators had been planning here for many years, and the dungeon would inevitably be extremely deep and intricate, even if it was completely destroyed later, there might still be residual traps.

Besides, Xu Ruyan and a few people can inhabit here, maybe there are other evils, and he doesn't want to risk going in for the sake of two evils.

Xu Ruyan had an urge to complain about her master.

But don't dare.

"Okay, Yan'er will go back as soon as she goes."

After Chen Ping saw Xu Ruyan flash into the underground palace tunnel through the crack in the collapsed cave, he released his divine sense at the same time and followed Xu Ruyan's figure to 'check' the situation underground.

The cave is full of signs of collapse.

The tunnels are so long that in many places there is not even room for a single person to pass through smoothly, but after going deep into the ground for several miles, there are occasionally some more spacious caves.

There are still some white bones that have not been completely grayed in the dungeon.

I don't know if it was left over from the Demon War, or if it was left by the monks who entered here later to adventure or treasure hunting.

Or the monk of the Ling Xiao Sect who came here to patrol and fell unexpectedly in recent decades.

The further you go inside the dungeon, the more frequent the black gas appears.

In the end, Xu Ruyan stopped in a collapsed underground palace.

With the appearance of Xu Ruyan, soon, two evil spirits appeared.

Chen Ping's divine sense quickly retrieved the cave full of filthy qi, there was nothing unique about it, and he didn't see the dark stripe that Xu Ruyan said after looking at it for a long time.

But at this moment, an evil demon slightly touched a piece of green rock behind him, and Chen Ping noticed that there was a line there that flashed slightly.

Dark lines are fleeting.

It then reverts to the texture of the rock itself.

No wonder.

It's too biomimetic.

I'm afraid that even if a patrol monk from the Ling Xiao Sect goes deep into this place, he may not be able to find the abnormalities here.

Chen Ping took a serious look at the dark stripe.

On closer inspection, the dark stripe actually took on the outline of a lotus flower, not irregular.

But other than that, there is nothing else.

I can't see why an evil cultivator's cultivation can cross two levels.

Thinking that Xu Ruyan said that Aunt Leng came from the other end of the dark pattern, Chen Ping condensed his divine sense and let her enter the wall.

His divine sense was several times stronger than that of a cultivator of the same realm, and even in the soil, he could penetrate dozens of miles.

However, to Chen Ping's regret, after his divine sense entered the wall, he did not find anything abnormal.

It's an ordinary wall.

Chen Ping took out his divine sense and carefully looked at the dark pattern lotus flower again. This time, the divine consciousness unconsciously entered the dark pattern lotus, and suddenly came out of a trance.

Chen Ping was taken aback.

Sure enough, there was an anomaly.

But before he could react more, the deeper divine consciousness was devoured, and an even stronger feeling of trance and dizziness came.

The dark pattern of the lotus flower seemed to have turned into a pitch-black passage, and his divine consciousness floated in it like a speck of dust.

Along with the feeling of vertigo comes a strong sense of exclusivity.

Chen Ping was shocked, his instinctive sense of self-protection made him instantly cut off his divine sense, and pulled back the divine consciousness that was deep in the dark veins to avoid being further counterattacked.

What is this dark pattern?

Why is there exclusivity?

Will it be aggressive?

Chen Ping didn't understand, but he didn't dare to try again. One thing is certain: dark lines are absolutely secretive.

"Master, Yan'er is back." A voice pulled Chen Ping back to reality.

Behind Xu Ruyan, there were two women.

Two highly recognizable women.

One of them looks very similar to Xu Ruyan, and he knows that it is Xu Ruluan without introducing Chen Ping.

Like Xu Ruyan, she is also wearing a Xu's uniform-style red long skirt, with a slender figure, if it weren't for her more dignified and quiet performance, Chen Ping couldn't even tell who was the sister and who was the younger sister for a while.

"The little girl Xu Ruluan has seen Immortal Master Chen." Xu Ruluan bowed slightly.

Chen Ping nodded, his attention at this time was no longer on her, but on the female evil who was called Aunt Leng by Xu Ruyan.

This.

It's not normal at all.

It's not so much an evil that a female cultivator has turned into, but a rattle.

It's just that this rattle has a drum face on one side and a fox face with closed eyes on the other.

What is Aunt Leng called? It's called a cold-faced fox.

Seeing Chen Ping at this moment, she didn't speak.

It's about constantly changing faces.

"She is what Yan'er called Aunt Leng, she can't speak. She keeps turning her head, which means that she is happy. Xu Ruyan hurriedly said.

Chen Ping was vigilant against the cold-faced fox evil.

Among the three evils, Xu Ruyan has completed the contract, and now she shares honor and disgrace with him, and it is impossible to harm him. Xu Ruluan is Xu Ruyan's sister, and he also indirectly completed revenge for her, and the two had nothing to do with each other during their lifetimes, so there was no reason to harm him.

But this cold-faced fox had to be guarded against.

It's not that I'm worried that she's targeting herself for no reason.

It's that her origin is unknown, and the dark pattern of the lotus flower in the cave is full of mystery.

Chen Ping has always been highly vigilant about the unknown.

He looked at the cold-faced fox carefully, and noticed that its evil qi was not very strong, obviously it was already a first-order state at the moment, and it was unlikely that he would hurt himself in this case, Chen Ping relaxed slightly.

"It's not appropriate to stay for a long time at this moment, you go into the stele first, and I'll take you back to talk." Chen Ping's voice fell, and a stone tablet was suspended in front of him.

After the three girls entered the stone tablet, Chen Ping did not stop and quickly returned to Xiaozhu Peak.

After returning to the quiet room, he activated the small mountain protection array, and arranged evil charms everywhere in the quiet room, and then released Xu Ruluan, giving priority to empathy.

Xu Ruluan's life experience overlapped with most of Xu Ruyan's, so the empathy was quickly completed.

The same goes for them.

Now it's done.

However, Chen Ping was not in a hurry to let her complete the contract, but immediately summoned the cold-faced fox, eager to understand what was behind the dark pattern of the lotus flower through the cold-faced fox.

Under empathy, I saw that the life picture of the cold-faced fox was not as clear as that of the Xu Ruyan sisters.

I can't even know the background of the cold-faced fox.

It is only known in the fragmented images that her obsession is to find a rattle, a toy from her childhood, which has since been lost.

In the limited picture, Chen Ping can't see where she came from in her childhood, but sees a huge statue of a figure in multiple scenes.

A statue towering over the abyss.

Under empathy, Chen Ping seemed to be standing in the middle of the abyss, standing in front of the towering statue. Just looking up like this, the statue can give him a great sense of oppression.

He couldn't wait to escape.

Call!

Chen Ping stopped empathizing and exhaled.

What kind of statue is this?

Why is there such a strong sense of oppression?

Whose statue is this?

Why is it erected in the abyss?

What is that place?

Chen Ping's mind was full of question marks.

He couldn't help but look at the cold-faced fox with a smiling face again, and realized that this evil man's background might be hiding a big secret.

But it's absolutely useless to ask the cold-faced fox, what you see under empathy is the most real thing, and the information you can't see means that the cold-faced fox doesn't know it either.

Chen Ping guessed that because the picture was fragmented, the cold-faced fox was like a puppet, unable to speak or communicate.

Wait a minute.

Demonic energy?

Chen Ping suddenly sensed a pure demonic aura on the cold-faced fox.

Demons?

Chen Ping's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't help but take a small step back for a while.

This demonic aura is too pure.

He had only sensed such pure demonic qi in two people, one was Chi Liang, and the other was Capricorn who he encountered in Jia Zhong's magic weapon.

This is the origin of the demon race, and it is the demonic energy that the demon cultivator does not have.

This demonic aura is pure, but weak. Chen Ping had never had close contact with the cold-faced fox before, so he didn't pay attention to it, and the focus of empathy was not here. At this moment, close contact was felt to perceive this faint demonic aura.

The cold-faced fox is from the demon world?

If that's the case, then where is the other end of the dark lotus link in the cave? Could it be the Demon Realm?

Why did the Dark Pattern Lotus appear here?

It's scary to think about.

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

The stakes are very high, and this matter has to be told to Wei Sui.

No, no.

Wei Sui is not useful.

I have to tell Xiyue.

Chen Ping looked at the cold-faced fox in front of him, asked him to return to the magic weapon, and then cast the Nine Ghost Training Ghost Technique to temporarily seal the cold-faced fox in the magic weapon.

Without his initiative to lift the ban, she would never have been able to get out.

The cold-faced fox has a special identity, so it's better not to come out.

Chen Ping didn't plan to fulfill her obsession in order to drive her.

Are you kidding?

Going to the Demon World in search of a rattle? Don't say that she is just a first-order evil, even if it is a third-order, fourth-order, or even fifth-order evil, Chen Ping will never take risks for this.

In the end, the Xu Ruyan sisters were released again.

Asked:

"When did that dark stripe in the cave appear?"

Xu Ruyan looked at her sister and took the initiative to say:

"Yan'er and her sister went to live there after the big war there, and they didn't pay attention to the existence of dark lines at that time, but they intuitively thought that they should have existed a long time ago. But Aunt Leng only came out of the dark lines later, fifty or sixty years ago. ”

Although the Xu Ruyan sisters call the cold-faced fox their aunt, they are not actually related by blood.

Just because they are in the same room, they have feelings.

The reason why it is called aunt is because the only sound that the cold-faced fox can occasionally make is the "coo~"

Chen Ping was more concerned about the fact that if that dark pattern had already existed, then it was a coincidence that the Demon Cultivator plotted against the Qingyun Domain back then? Or has it been planned for a long time?

"Later, our sisters asked Aunt Leng to help me and wait to kill Su Lengyuan, only to find that Aunt Leng seemed to be inseparable from that dark pattern, and her strength would drop sharply after leaving far away."

"What's wrong? Is that dark line important? ”

Chen Ping bowed slightly.

That dark streak doesn't matter.

What's behind that dark streak? It matters what secrets are hidden.

Seeing Chen Ping nodding, Xu Ruyan recalled it for a while and said:

"When Yan'er and her sister were living there, a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect entered there to investigate, and from their conversation, it was guessed that they should be investigating demon cultivators. But they didn't notice the dark lines. ”

This is exactly what Chen Ping thinks.

When not shining, the dark lines seem to be the lines of the rock itself, and they are inconspicuous. And if you don't inject your Divine Consciousness precisely along the lines, even if your Divine Consciousness penetrates deep into that wall, you won't be able to detect anything abnormal.

"Also, don't misunderstand, Yan'er and my sister didn't attack those Lingxiao Sect monks back then."

Seeing Chen Ping's thoughtful look, he hurriedly explained:

"What Yan'er said is true. Just imagine, if those disciples die in the cave, it will inevitably attract more powerful monks, then we can only find another place, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Chen Ping's focus is actually not on this, these things have long passed.

He can only control Xu Ruyan from attacking the Lingxiao Sect monks at will now, and the previous things are not out of his control.

He was concerned about dark lines.

It's a pity that Sister Xu Ruyan doesn't know much.

Never mind.

No matter.

This kind of big thing just let Xiyue deal with it.

I'm just a Jindan early stage monk, so I'd better take care of my own cultivation first.

Chen Ping finally looked at Xu Ruluan:

"Your obsession is already there, but are you sure you want to fulfill the contract and become part of the magic weapon? If you don't want to, it's too late to regret it now. ”

"Ruluan is willing."

Xu Ruluan's voice was steady.

Chen Ping didn't ask any more, it is estimated that the two sisters have chatted many times in advance, and said directly:

"After you enter the magic weapon, relax yourself and let yourself merge with the magic rhyme of the magic weapon, and you can complete the contract. I'll give you a copy of the technique called 'Synthesis' afterwards, and I'll be able to practice it in the future." ”

Among the three ancient Nine Ghost Training Ghost Techniques, the Seven Injuries Technique has been practiced by Xu Ruyan.

The rest of the attack technique requires enough evil strength to make sense, and Xu Ruluan is only a first-order, which is obviously not suitable for practicing attack skills.

Synthesis is a good fit.

Once you learn the Synthesic Technique, it is equivalent to having an extra long-distance eye, which is much more effective than the Nine Shades and Colorful Cicadas.

"Thank you, master." Xu Ruluan saluted.

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment and said:

"In terms of evil qi, you can dissolve the evil qi pill in the bath for you to practice together."

After so many years, the evil qi in the magic weapon bath has long been absorbed by Xu Ruyan.

Xu Ruyan had already started taking the Evil Qi Pill.

However, the Evil Qi Pill can be taken directly, or it can be dissolved in the bath to release the evil qi for everyone to absorb together.

At present, the Evil Qi Pill is limited, and it can no longer withstand the two of them to take it, so it is simply dissolved in the bath for everyone to absorb slowly.

"Thank you, master." Xu Ruyan smiled excitedly and thanked her sister in advance.

Before, I was worried that Chen Ping would not look down on her sister's cultivation, but now it seems that Chen Ping can be regarded as taking good care of her sister.

"Master, what about Aunt Leng?"

"Her situation is more complicated, and we will talk about it later."

After the Xu Ruyan sisters returned to the magic weapon, Chen Ping copied the 'common god technique' in "Nine Ghost Training".

At the same time, he himself was given priority to study.

After three days, it was a smooth start.

[Nine Ghost Training Ghost Arts: Co-God Technique (Beginner): 1/1000. 】

A few days later, Xu Ruluan, who had completed the contract, successfully entered.

The more proficient you are in this evil art, the farther away you can directly share the spirit with the evil spirit.

Chen Ping immediately did the experiment with Xu Ruluan. In the current entry-level situation, the distance between the gods is almost 100 miles.

In other words, when Chen Ping was in Xiaozhu Peak and Xu Ruluan was in the forest 100 miles away, Chen Ping could see what Xu Ruluan saw through the common gods, and communicate with Xu Ruluan to let him act according to his ideas.

But after more than 100 miles, the 'signal' is not good, and the picture will jam or even drop.

The higher the proficiency level, the farther the distance.

Similarly, Xu Ruluan's concealment will be stronger.

There's no rush to this.

Just practice slowly.
