Zhuo Cai's face was full of tears, and the crimson and warm wolf blood was sprinkled all over the ground, bewitching and treacherous.

Zuo Qiu Xun was very annoyed, and scolded Xu Huaigu and said, "You bastard! Do you know how dangerous it is? If there's a trap here, I'll die with you right now!" ”

What she said was that she suspected that Zhuo Cai had a problem, and she really didn't want to risk it, but Xu Huaigu was so reckless, she had to come over and give the wolf a sword.

Xu Huaigu was also very aggrieved, he just wanted to save Zhuo Cai, but he really couldn't watch the poor little girl being attacked by wolves.

However, he was also a little lost, and the white light was not the small sword in his heart, but the sword of Zuoqiu Xun.

He understood that he was indeed reckless, and just apologized: "I'm sorry, I just can't watch Zhuo Cai die." ”

Zuo Qiu Xun squinted at him, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot, and Xu Huaigu was even more guilty.

Yu Qin hurriedly ran up, squatted down to comfort Zhuo Cai, who was crying, wiped away her tears, and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, my sister is here." Zhuo Cai is the bravest, right? ”

Then she straightened up, looked at Xu Huaigu, bowed her head slightly, and said, "Thank you for saving Zhuo Cai." ”

Xu Huaigu was very unaccustomed to such a small action, as if the distance between the two was getting farther and farther away, and he was a little panicked.

Zuoqiu Xun's heart is in turmoil, this little girl is definitely very problematic.

was once chased by a bear, and happened to meet their group to rescue. This time it was the wolf attack again, and it was just when they were about to leave that they forcibly pulled them to Zhuo Cai's side.

Coincidental? The most likely thing in the world is a coincidence, and the most unlikely thing is also a coincidence.

Since the four of them have arrived at the stone, it seems that nothing major has happened, and the girl has not moved for the time being, but why does she insist on following her by herself? Which village are you going to, and what are the secrets of that village?

Zuo Qiu Xun could already be sure that Zhuo Cai had a big problem at this time, but she was competitive. Since you want to dig a hole for us, you also want to let you know that our group is not vegetarian.

Whatever the little girl wanted to do, Zuoqiu Xun was going to mess it up.

The five of them had their own thoughts, but Huang Shan's sudden shout broke the silence.

"Look, there's something in this stone!"

All eyes were on the stone.

At first glance, this huge stone is no different from any other stone, except that it is unusually large and has a relatively standard oval shape. It is about one zhang long and five feet wide. The whole stone is pale yellow, warm and moist, and it is a good stone. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a small lump inside, which is extraordinarily dark and shiny.

Zuo Qiu Xun was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, and his exit was faint: "It's a stone spirit." ”

In the world, not only animals can become spirits, but also plants such as flowers and plants can become spirits, but the time required will be longer, and the lifespan will be relatively longer, each with its own characteristics.

According to the theory, everything in heaven and earth can be refined.

As large as mountains and rivers, over time, they will inevitably be able to give birth to corresponding spirits, but most people call them gods, such as water gods, mountain gods, and the like. In many places, temples are built to worship the local gods and beg for peace. The gods also have practice, and the older they get, the more prosperous the incense becomes, and the higher their cultivation becomes. For example, Qi Shui, a continent water god, has a very high status, and he has existed for thousands of years, and there will be at least ten realms of cultivation.

As small as a beam, a tile, or a stone, this kind of small object that can be seen everywhere can also be refined, but it is extremely difficult to meet it. In addition to opening the spiritual wisdom by one's own chance, there is also a Dao technique that can ignite objects into essence, but this Dao technique is acting against the way of heaven and has to bear a heavy burden of cause and effect. And it's useless to light up a small object, making this type of goblin particularly rare.

Spirits like flowers and plants, although rare, but the flowers and plants themselves are also alive, than those inanimate objects but there are more spirits, many immortals will raise some, pleasing to the eye, improve the taste.

At present, this big yellow stone is a stone spirit, and the dark yellow mass is the "stone baby", also known as the "stone in the stone". It doesn't look useful, but it's a rare medicinal herb with a high value.

When the stone spirit was still low in cultivation, it could only parasitize in the original stone, unable to escape, but this time Xu Huaigu bumped into the great luck, this stone spirit was worth at least ten big beads.

Huang Shan heard Zuo Qiu Xun's assertion, his face was surprised, a stone must not only take an extremely long time to become a fine stone, but also have a suitable opportunity. He said happily: "This is a stone spirit? It's the first time I've seen it, and I've heard it's worth a lot of money! ”

Yu Qin and Xu Huaigu had heard of this thing for the first time, and Huang Shan excitedly popularized the stone spirit to them.

As soon as they heard that it was worth a lot of money, Yu Qin and Xu Huaigu's eyes lit up, after all, they were really poor people, and they still had a lot of feelings for money.

The three of them began to carry the stone, fortunately Huang Shan also had a storage bracelet, which could barely be put in, otherwise everyone really didn't know what to do with this big stone. It's a big chunk of silver, and you can't afford to carry it in front of you, and think how uncomfortable it must be.

Zuoqiu Xun would not do this kind of cheap thing, although she was also short of money, but she was now thinking more about this strange Zhuo Cai.

She couldn't guess Zhuocai's origin, and she couldn't see that she had cultivation. Either Zhuo Cai's cultivation is higher than her, or Zhuo Cai's cultivation is not at all, compared to the two, she is more willing to believe in the former.

The three of them were snorting and carrying stone spirits, tired and sweating profusely. It seems to be in response to Zhuocai's words, the sun that was still above his head just now really set, the sky gradually darkened, and the red glow of the setting sun scattered in the world.

The three busy men stopped and watched in shock as the sun went down. It's still noon, and now I've moved a rock, and it's getting dark? It was probably the weirdest sunset they'd ever seen.

Zuo Qiu Xun looked at the sun that had set in advance, thoughtful.

Xu Huaigu also thought of some other things, at that time in Lethe, the rules of the sun and the moon there seemed to be different from the outside world.

It soon became dark, and they suppressed their nervousness and lit a fire. In this eerie place, it seems that only the flames can give them a little warmth.

Zhuo Cai said proudly: "Look, I didn't lie to you, it will get dark soon." ”

Xu Huaigu forced his doubts and asked, "Is this like this every day here?" ”

Zhuo Cai happily roasted the fire and said, "Yes, yes, every day when the sun is directly above, it is about to set, but it will take a long time from sunrise to directly above." ”

Then she was a little puzzled: "Hey, why do you ask that, you have all grown so big, don't you know?" ”

The group looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Zhuo Cai's words, only Zuo Qiu Xun seemed to show a smile.

Xu Huaigu asked, "Then the people in your village usually live like this in the Hangxun Mountains?" ”

"Some of them will plough the fields, and some of them will go hunting in the mountains. By the way, there are also those who are priests, who do not have to do things, who communicate with the gods every day and beg for the peace of the village, and are the most respected. ”

She also patted her chest proudly: "My grandfather is the high priest!" ”

When Xu Huaigu heard this, he thought of the village where he grew up, where there were also several sacrifices, and at that time, his teaching teacher Chu Xian was one of the sacrifices.

As it sounds, this village seems to be no different from an ordinary small village in the mountains.

Everyone didn't know what was going on with this sunset, and after thinking about it, could it be that their heads were confused?

Zhuo Cai had already fallen asleep, and his saliva was flowing out. The other four sat and watched the fire, but they couldn't hold it back, and they yawned and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the fire gradually went out, leaving a few pieces of red-hot charcoal to glow. The frost moon swayed, creating a hazy mist color for the forest.

There was silence, and the quiet mountains and forests were only mixed with a little snoring.

The group gathered around the fire, closed their eyes and fell asleep, occasionally turning their bodies, but they didn't know how many of them were actually asleep.

Someone gently opened his eyes, took advantage of the moonlight, reached into his sleeve and pulled out a dagger, and walked in a certain direction.

The moonlight is soft and as clear as water.

There are people under the moon, and the murderous intent is overflowing.

Zuo Qiu Xun squatted down, holding the knife face of the dagger and gently rubbing Zhuo Cai's neck.

Zhuo Cai should have felt the coldness on his neck, and opened his eyes with a mutter. Seeing Zuoqiu Xun holding a dagger around her neck, she looked at that beautiful face in horror, and she couldn't even cry.

Zuo Qiu Xun didn't care if she had woken up a long time ago, her face was as cold as frost and snow, the tip of the dagger picked up her chin, looked straight at her, and said, "Don't pretend, I know what you want to do." You'd better let go of my crooked thoughts, and since you have something to ask for, give me sincerity in exchange. Otherwise, even if I can't beat you, you'll suffer. ”

The intense killing intent on her face almost overflowed, making her even more terrifying.

Zhuo Cai trembled and didn't say a word. In the end, he said weakly: "Please sister don't kill me, I will be in the village tomorrow, and my grandfather will definitely give my sister the best reward." ”

Zuo Qiu Xun was very disdainful of her fake words, put away the dagger into his sleeve, softly returned to the place where he had slept, and slowly lay down.

No sleepiness.

She pondered the pros and cons.

Should I take the risk of asking for that unknown reward?

She was sure that this trip must be extremely dangerous, and she might have to put the lives of the other three on the line.

But her gut told her that the pay should be abundant.

Is it right to bet on their lives without the knowledge of others?

She remembered some of her early years, and that unattainable goal.

Her only purpose in life was to avenge him. But whether it was her who was born with a sword fetus ten years ago and was extremely talented, or she who quickly became a sword cultivator in the Five Realms after countless fights and battles, the distance between that goal didn't seem to change much.

She sighed.

I suddenly wanted to play a pipa.
