"I didn't expect Xiyue to have such a childhood journey!"

After bidding farewell to Ji Xiuyuan, Chen Ping entered the interior of the Lingxi Corridor alone, recalling Ji Xiuyuan's childhood memories of Xiyue, and still sighed.

back then.

The village where Xiyue lived was ransacked by the Demon Cultivators, and the village was reduced to ashes in the raging fire, and disappeared overnight, leaving the ashes everywhere.

Because of her young age, Xiyue fainted early, and was protected by her mother in her arms, so she escaped the catastrophe.

Later, he was rescued by the master who happened to pass by there after traveling, and was brought into the way of cultivating immortals.

At that time, Xiyue was only four years old.

Because she followed her master at a young age, Xiyue regarded her master as an elder like her father since she was a child.

She has been a good girl since she was a child.

Since childhood, he has taken inheriting the mantle of Master as his ultimate goal in life, and has never questioned any of Master's decisions, nor has he ever doubted anything.

Of course, she is extremely talented, and she has never lived up to her teacher's expectations on the path of cultivation.

When Xiyue first came, Ji Xiuyuan was building a foundation and cultivating it.

also takes care of this little sister.

So much so that when Ji Xiuyuan himself discovered his master's abnormality and began to explore the mysteries of the Moyang Boundary Wall, he knew that this was an extremely risky thing, so he never thought of pulling Xiyue into the water.

Afterwards, the East Window incident happened, and Ji Xiuyuan escaped into the demon world.

For many years after returning from the Demon Realm, he had been active in various dark corners of the Human Realm, and had never contacted Xiyue.

So much so that Xiyue still doesn't know whether Ji Xiuyuan is dead or alive.

Back then, as Ji Xiuyuan excavated his master's secrets, he was surprised to find out that Xiyue's parents died and the entire village was turned to ashes, which was actually not the work of the demon cultivator.

It's his master.

That is, Xiyue's master.

Ji Xiuyuan guessed that at that time, the master had seen Xiyue's talent, and had already selected her as the imprison provider, in order to let Xiyue give up the distracting thoughts of the world and concentrate on cultivation, so he destroyed her full door, cut off her thoughts, and solidified her Dao heart.

Or maybe it was to make Xiyue grateful to Dade for his life-saving grace, and obey his words, so he did it.

And this matter, Xiyue still does not know.

Ji Xiuyuan never told her.

This matter came from Ji Xiuyuan's mouth, whether it was true or false Chen Ping couldn't confirm it, but Xiyue really never mentioned her family, and she did respect her master very much.

If it's true.

That Xiyue is too miserable.

Chen Ping couldn't imagine how her heart collapsed the moment she knew the truth.

The master who respected him all his life, raised himself, and taught him to cultivate the Tao, but he was his own enemy who killed his father and mother.

How cruel.

If this was true, Chen Ping could understand why Ji Xiuyuan didn't tell Xiyue about it.

Ay.

This is the case in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

It's full of deceit.

How could Yu Qingyi not be like this to his granddaughter back then?

In the world of cultivating immortals, the lives of the weak are like ants in the eyes of the strong, and they are not worth mentioning.

Crushing you is like rolling an ant, even if you have brains and no corpses, it will not make the strong have even a trace of pity.

Chen Ping hopes that this story is fake and made up by Ji Xiuyuan. If it's true, then I hope Xiyue will never know the truth.

Chen Ping retracted his mind and continued to move forward, focusing on his own journey.

As the name suggests, the Lingxi Promenade is a spatial corridor.

The promenade is surrounded by a dense forest on one side and a clear blue sea on the other.

The coastline divides the entire promenade in two.

Like two distinct ribbons.

Chen Ping is walking on such a coastline at the moment.

What he needs to do is walk along the coastline, from one end of the promenade to the other.

In this way, you can enter the Cangqing Ancient Realm from the human world.

It's not an easy road.

The Lingxi Promenade is divided into outer and deep areas.

The place where Chen Ping and Ji Xiuyuan were talking was the periphery, where people of all kinds of cultivation could enter.

The depth zone is different.

When monks of different cultivation enter the deep area of the corridor, they will enter different spaces, obviously they are all in the Lingxi Corridor, and even they are standing in the same place, but they will not see each other, and what they do will not interfere with each other.

Therefore, it will not work to take yourself through the Lingxi Corridor through a monk who is a monk of a great realm.

Now.

Chen Ping walked slowly along the pink sand.

There are many high-level demon beasts in the three spaces of water, land, and air, and they may attack intruders at any time.

Chen Ping's divine sense perception is strong enough, as long as he is careful enough, avoids them in advance, and doesn't deliberately provoke them, he will generally not be in big trouble.

These are not the hardest places.

The difficulty is that there are all kinds of sideways and other passes.

What's more, these thresholds may not be the same from one period to another.

It's hard to prepare in advance.

"Oh haha, another one, oh haha."

As Chen Ping cautiously walked forward, a figure suddenly appeared on the sea, letting out a terrible laugh.

Chen Ping subconsciously sacrificed his sword and shield, stepped back into the wind and retreated, and at the same time, his divine sense moved, and countless long swords stabbed towards the figure.

At the same time, he saw the figure in front of him clearly, which was similar to the figure that came out of Aladdin's magic lamp, except that the long tail did not emerge from the magic lamp, but from the sea.

The figure is also much larger.

"Xiaoyou, don't be nervous, the old woman is just a special soul, no attack power, you can't hurt Xiaoyou, of course, Xiaoyou doesn't have to work in vain, Xiaoyou can't hurt the old woman either." The voice of a figure came.

It was a kind old lady's face.

But the voice is extremely terrifying, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, sometimes muddy and sometimes clear.

It's even more terrifying to laugh.

At the same time, a light shield suddenly appeared from the pink gravel under the old woman, and once the light shield was generated, it suddenly extended rapidly to the top and bottom, left and right, becoming boundless, dividing the entire space into two.

completely blocked Chen Ping's way.

Chen Ping silently stepped back a few feet, keeping a long enough distance from the old woman.

Is this the first hurdle?

In the introduction brochure of the Lingxi Corridor given by Xiyue, as well as the exchange with Ji Xiuyuan a few days ago, I learned that all the barriers encountered in the Lingxi Corridor could not be tough.

It's useless, it can't be broken.

The Rhino Corridor is not a natural product in nature.

It is an artificially opened gap between the two worlds, and these passes are based on the right time and place, and artificially arranged for the day after tomorrow.

To a certain extent, it can be said that these passes are the screening checkpoints for the monks of the Cangqing Ancient Realm to go to the Cangqing Ancient Realm.

Similar to the second pass of the ink-chasing field.

It depends on proficiency to solve the problem.

Time is too easy to say, as short as a year or two, and as long as decades.

For Chen Ping, as long as it is a matter of proficiency, it can be solved, at least it will not be fatal.

This risk is bearable.

This is also the reason why he said goodbye to Ji Xiuyuan and finally dared to enter here.

Of course, what reassures Chen Ping is even more.

Judging from the information obtained, although the passes here may be different in each period, the passes here have a common characteristic.

That is, many passes are related to the special Dao rhymes of ancient times, and the child and mother turtles given by Bi Yuan can devour these Dao rhymes.

This is the second layer of assurance.

It is Chen Ping's hole card.

Chen Ping arched his hand and said:

"I don't mean to offend the old-timers, but I just need to take the road to move forward, and never destroy the grass and trees here of the seniors, I don't know if the seniors can make it convenient?"

The old woman smiled:

"Hehe, it's much more polite than those hairy boys before."

"Little friend, the old woman looks at you with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, you are not a short-lived person, there is no need to die here, go back, it's still too late."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this NPC to have the function of persuading him to quit, and said:

"There is no way back for the younger generation."

It is not possible to return to the human realm yet.

Time is too short, and the Ascension Valley has not forgotten about it.

And the Lingxi Corridor is obviously not suitable as a permanent place.

Not to mention whether the white-bearded Daoist will find here, he may have to go through the Yuan Infant Tribulation at any time in the future, and he needs resources from the outside world, and this place obviously does not meet the requirements.

"That's right, the old woman has never persuaded anyone successfully." The old woman grinned:

"If you want to walk over, you can do it."

"Little friend has to get something in exchange."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment:

"What do you want from your predecessors?"

The old woman pursed her wrinkled mouth:

"Little friend's 200-year-old life."

Chen Ping: ???

What a ruthless request.

Generally, the first baby is only 1,000 years old, and it will cost one-fifth of the opening.

"Reluctantly, right? No one is willing to give it, and neither are those who came before. So there's a second option. How about taking half a yuan baby in exchange? ”

Chen Ping:.

Lose half of the baby, not to mention whether it will die.

In this life, it is certainly impossible to become a god again.

Even if you get the panacea of nourishing the Yuan Shen in the future.

Unless the second baby is raised in advance.

"Reluctantly? Hehe, that's right, who comes to walk the Lingxi Corridor, which one is not the pride of the sky? How could he be willing to give away half a baby? ”

"Don't worry, there's a third option."

"And the last option."

As soon as the old woman's voice fell, her big hand suddenly became bigger, covering the sky and the sun, and waved towards the sea, but it did not make a stormy wave, but like a breeze.

Countless phantom stars fell with the big palm.

On the sea, a young girl slowly rises.

The girl was wearing a blue gown, and the reason why the robe was blue was not its own color, but a layer of light water flowing slowly.

The girl's eyebrows were furrowed, and she kept twisting her body, looking extremely painful.

When I saw the old woman, I struggled to speak:

"Grandma, Xiao Ning is in so much pain."

"It's hot."

The old woman was distressed and said to Chen Ping:

"This is the granddaughter of the old woman, Xiao Ning, who has suffered from the Lingxi Sea Flame all the year round, as long as Xiaoyou can help Xiao Ning solve the pain of the Lingxi Sea Flame, the old woman in exchange promises not to embarrass Xiaoyou for half a point, and immediately let Xiaoyou go."

"What is the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame?" Chen Ping was noncommittal.

It was only through the introduction of the old woman that the light blue sea water wrapped around Xiao Ning's body was not ordinary sea water, but contained a special water charm.

Or rather, Tao rhyme.

There is a water mansion in the depths of this sea, which is the place where the ancient immortals fell.

The Dao Yun in the Water Mansion is the cursed Dao Yun.

This kind of water rhyme is called the Lingxi Sea Flame.

Xiao Ning strayed into the Water Mansion that year, and then was haunted by the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame all year round.

Although the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame is seawater, it is like a flame, and it has a burning effect on the monk, which makes Xiao Ning miserable all year round.

If the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame can be stripped from Xiao Ning's body, Xiao Ning can enjoy the pleasure for three years.

You won't be haunted by the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame for three years.

"How can I take out the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame?" Chen Ping knew that it was definitely not a simple matter.

"Xiaoyou will know if you seriously perceive the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame on Xiao Ning's body."

Chen Ping released his divine sense with doubts.

I was surprised to find that the pale blue water was like silk threads, wrapped around the girl's body in a thread.

Those threads of sea water are not immovable, but they flicker, disappear and reappear, appear and disappear.

Chen Ping subconsciously thought of the scene in the ink field.

"Xiaoyou is not mistaken, under the influence of this poisonous Dao rhyme, the Lingxi Sea Flame is an extremely thin silk thread, Xiaoyou only needs to concentrate on extracting all the silk threads, and naturally help Xiao Ning."

"But I want to remind you that once you start to extract the silk threads, you can't stop, once one of the silk threads fails to be extracted, the Spirit Rhino Sea Flame will wake up and defend itself, and then you will completely lose the opportunity to pull out." The old woman explained.

So many thousands of sea silks, need to be pulled out one by one?

And you can't make a mistake halfway through?

Otherwise, all the work will be wasted?

The point is that these sea silks are constantly flickering, and it is really difficult to find the pattern in them.

"What happens if it fails?" Chen Ping glanced at the painful Xiao Ning.

"Failure?"

The old woman laughed:

"Since it's a deal, failing means making Xiao Ning more painful, and naturally there is a price to pay."

The old woman's big hand waved again.

The rhyme on the surface of the sea changes, and a sea area is revealed.

There is a large area of Terran monks soaked in the sea!!

Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart.

These monks are all living people, their lower bodies are immersed in the sea, and their upper bodies are floating above the sea level, and they are busy knitting sweaters with their heads bowed and using Daoyun Haisi as wool.

This.

Forget about the nuns.

Male nuns do the same job.

"If it fails, Xiaoyou has to knit a sweater for Xiao Ning here, knit a cooling sweater, and serve for 200 years." The old woman's voice sounded at the right time.

Now.

When the monks on the sea heard the voice, they all turned their heads and looked at Chen Ping.

It was a clear, blank look.

The consciousness of these monks is clear!

In the crowd, Chen Ping saw a familiar figure.

A neighborhood when he lived in Tianyin Immortal City.

When Chen Ping first arrived in Tianyin Immortal City, he was still a monk in the middle of Jindan, and at that time, there lived a young monk in the infancy stage next door.

Chen Ping also visited this person back then and knew that this person's surname was Si.

The monk came from a big sect and was quite proud, and he looked down on a monk like Chen Ping from a remote area, not to mention that Chen Ping's cultivation at that time was still a big level.

It is precisely because of this that the two have not intersected for a hundred years.

Limited to nodding acquaintances.

Later, before Chen Ping was promoted to Yuanying, the monk had already left.

Chen Pingyuan thought that Monk Si had returned to the original sect, but he never thought that he was actually trapped here.

"Si Daoyou, what's the matter" Chen Ping said hello.

Is it also to avoid becoming a confined provider and fleeing early?

When Brother Si saw Chen Ping looking over, his expression was complicated and his eyes were lonely.

Turning his head, when he turned around again, he had already changed his appearance, and said indifferently to Chen Ping:

"Daoyou recognized the wrong person, Jiang Li is not the Daoyou in the mouth of Daoyou."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.

Withdraw your gaze and say no more.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go back, the opportunity of the Cangqing Ancient Realm is indeed very tempting, but the passes of the Lingxi Passage are very difficult, once the bet fails, and being trapped here for 200 years, the gain outweighs the loss." One of the well-meaning monks persuaded.

"Damn, look at it, the clues and patterns of those sea silk flickering can be found, as long as my divine sense is strong enough, I can always peel off the cocoon. This level doesn't look difficult. Who knew that my divine sense wouldn't be able to sustain it for so long, and in the end, it would fall short, hey. ”

"My divine sense is enough, but the accuracy of my divine sense is a little poor, and one of the sea silk lines is not accurate."

"Hey, damn, 200 years."

“.”

These monks who were trapped on the surface of the sea finally met the newcomers, and you and I talked about it.

Some persuaded Chen Ping to leave as soon as possible.

More are waiting to see Chen Ping's jokes, waiting for Chen Ping to join them, one more sweater worker.

Although this does not free them from suffering, it does give them mental balance.

It doesn't matter if I'm unlucky or not.

But you'll have to be as unlucky as I am, so I won't be so sad.

Chen Ping glanced at the people who were half buried in the sea, and thought to himself that this sea was really strange and unpredictable, and it could actually trap a group of Yuanying monks here without moving.

I can understand the sighs of this group of monks.

200 years.

Although the Yuanying Monk can live for more than a thousand years, the loss of the foundation of the battle, poisoning, and the poison taken by inferior spiritual materials during the cultivation process will all cause the monk's longevity to decay.

Usually living to be 1,000 years old is very good.

And if you want to be promoted to the gods, it is best to complete it before the age of 700, at the latest at the age of 800, and it is basically hopeless after the older age.

In this way, if you are 300 years old when you are promoted to Yuan Infant, then it will actually be used for about 400 years of cultivation in the Yuan Infant Period.

Up to 500 years.

And here it is delayed for 200 years.

Losing 40% of the cultivation time of the Yuan Infant Stage basically means that there is no hope of transforming into a god.

The people who came here were all genius monks, at least they all had a dream of becoming an advanced god, and now that they have been sentenced to death, it is impossible not to be lonely.

Chen Ping retracted his gaze, no longer looking at the group of monks who were mired in the quagmire, but took a few steps towards Xiao Ning.

It's a matter of proficiency.

As long as you are willing to take the time, it is almost inevitable to break through this barrier.

But the problem is that in order to be sure, if you want to improve your proficiency, you don't know how many years it will take to delay this.

Chen Ping thought of the pair of tortoises given by Fairy Biyuan.

His consciousness moved slightly.

The Luan Ling Burning Light Turtle appeared in his hand.

Chen Ping just took it out, and before he had time to study whether it was useful, the child and mother turtle seemed to feel something, and actually 'lived' it, the turtle son on his back stretched his neck, and the turtle eyes were round, looking at Xiao Ning.

Suddenly opened his mouth.

The Spirit Rhino Sea Flame on Xiao Ning's body also 'lived' at the same time.

Countless Haisi felt threatened, and stopped winding around Xiao Ning for a while, and when they looked back, they seemed to be startled when they saw the child and mother turtle, and hurriedly drilled into Xiao Ning's body.

But as the big mouth of the Luan Ling Burning Light Turtle that devoured everything opened, the sea silk was as if it had encountered a black hole, and none of them could escape, and they were sucked away by the Mother Turtle.

The sea water on Xiao Ning's body suddenly emptied.

This.

Chen Ping didn't expect that Luan Ling's Burning Light Turtle actually had such a great ability.

At the moment when the Luan Spirit Burning Light Turtle turned into a dead thing again, Chen Ping saw that there was a Tree of Life in the body of the Turtle, and with the devouring of the cursed Spirit Rhino Sea Flame, a small section of the Tree of Life had withered.

This phenomenon flashed away, and the child and mother turtles became dead creatures again.

"Xiao Ning hasn't felt so relaxed for many years, Xiao Ning thanks Gongzi for saving me." Xiao Ning, who was temporarily relieved of the threat, gave a gift.

The old woman laughed:

"Little friendly means."

"No wonder they dare to come to the Lingxi Corridor, but they are much more powerful than the group of boys who knit sweaters in the sea."

"The deal is closed, congratulations to Xiaoyou for one step closer to the goal. This beach promenade has been open to children for 30 years, and whether they are entering or retreating for 30 years, it will be unimpeded here. ”

Chen Ping put away the Luan Ling Burning Light Turtle and took a breath.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Thank you seniors for making it happen." Chen Ping made a move.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a group of sweater workers looking at their backs in the sea behind them, and the whole scene was silent for a while.

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched.

This female turtle is also too flamboyant.

Don't you know how to pretend to work hard, pretend to do your best, and slowly swallow those Spirit Rhino Sea Flames?

Look at the group of people who were shocked.

It's too high-profile.

However, thinking that he was about to go to the Cangqing Ancient Realm, and most of these people did not have the heart to challenge the Lingxi Corridor after the ban was lifted in 200 years, there was a high probability that they would stay in the human realm for the rest of their lives.

And when I return to the human world again, I don't know what year Ma Yue.

Looking at it this way, I am afraid that I will never have any intersection with them again in the rest of my life.

I don't have to worry about being calculated by them.

Behind you, in the middle of the sea.

The needlework of Brother Si's fingers paused, and he looked at Chen Ping's departing back and was slightly distracted. This monk, who he once looked down on, has now reversed the vicissitudes of life and reached a height beyond his reach.

Seeing that Chen Ping glanced back, Brother Si hurriedly lowered his head and focused on knitting the sweater, pretending not to know.

Glimpsing Chen Ping walking away, the needlework in his hand stopped and sighed slightly.

The pink sand stretches infinitely behind Chen Ping.

Originally, I thought that I didn't owe anything to Fairy Biyuan, but now it seems that this treasure is by no means simple. Hey, I owe Bi Yuan Fairy a favor again. ’

In the following time, Chen Ping passed through several passes.

These passes do not need to be overcome all, only three passes need to be conquered successively to successfully obtain the approval of the Lingxi Corridor.

Some of these passes are related to the Tao rhyme, some are related to the search for spiritual materials, some are related to the identification of special characters at the site, and so on.

The vast majority are related to ancient ruins.

Because of the existence of the Luan Ling Burning Light Mother Turtle, the three passes selected by Chen Ping are all related to the 'special Dao rhyme'.

These rhymes are all related to ancient times.

And the rhyme of each level is different, some are cold-inducing, some are heat-inducing, some are toxic and so on.

The Cangqing Ancient Realm itself is the 'Ancient Realm', which is closely related to the ancient era. If it is said that these passes were created by the Cangqing Ancient Realm under certain conditions, it is reasonable.

A few days later, Chen Ping successfully passed through the inner area of the Lingxi Corridor and entered the outer Black Mist Forest.

The exit of the Spirit Rhino Corridor is not a fixed point, and holding different tokens can lead to different places.

The token held by Chen Ping is the Guan family token among the four major families of the Wei Kingdom in the Cangqing Ancient Realm.

As long as you hold the token and walk around the Black Mist Forest, you will eventually reach the exit set by the Guan family.

Another few days passed.

Chen Ping's eyes lit up and appeared in a towering attic.

"Welcome to the Cangqing Ancient Realm."

In the attic, a kind face met Chen Ping's eyes.
