Time flies, and it has been half a year since Han Changsheng entered the secret realm of shock.

In the past few months, Han Changming has secretly explored all the mines under the charge of the Thirteenth Taibao, but there is still no trace of Xia Jiuchai, and no one has seen her.

Even the places where the Thirteen Taibao lived were secretly investigated by Han Changming, but no clues were found about Xia Jiuchai.

Now there is only one possibility left, that is, Xia Jiuchai is trapped in the horse's belly.

Han Changming had heard the little foreman Luo Yasu say that the horse's belly wanted to accept a Terran female cultivator as a concubine, but in the past few months, there has been no movement on the horse's belly, and there has been no news that the concubine ceremony will be held.

The more high-level demon beasts are, the more they value the etiquette of the human race.

Although these high-level demon beasts are full of contempt for the human race in their mouths, they are often proud of the etiquette of the human race in their hearts, to show that they are different from those low-level demon beasts whose wisdom has not yet been opened.

Although the Terran is not the strongest among all races in terms of cultivation talent, and even the physical body of the Terran is born without any defensive power, the form of the Terran is naturally close to the Great Dao, and it is the most suitable appearance for cultivation.

Therefore, whenever the demon beast cultivates to the eighth level, which is equivalent to the early stage of the human race, it has to transform into a human form through various cultivation methods.

It is not difficult for ordinary demon beasts to transform into shapes, but it is difficult for some desolate aliens to transform into shapes, and some of them even cultivate to become tenth-level demon beasts, that is, in the late stage of the Yuan Infant, they cannot successfully transform into shapes.

These xenos who can't transform into shapes, no matter how strong they are, they always feel like beasts to the immortal cultivation world.

This is also a piece of the horse's belly, it often thinks that its own IQ is high and prides itself on it, and feels that its knowledge is not inferior to others, and it can even give lectures to others.

It clearly knows that those people who cultivate it are only in awe of it because of its strength, but in fact they don't necessarily look down on it in their hearts, not to mention anything else, let's just say that among the thirteen Taibao under it, there are many people who secretly despise it.

The more others despise it, the more it desires to take on human form, and at the same time attaches more importance to the etiquette of the human race.

Now that the etiquette of taking a concubine from the horse's belly has not been done, Han Changming has never had the opportunity to meet the female cultivator who is about to become a concubine with a horse's belly, so it is impossible to determine whether the female cultivator is Xia Jiuchai herself.

When Han Changsheng was thinking hard about how to return to the big town where the horse's belly was located to investigate, the opportunity was sent to the door.

At noon that day, Yayoi Taipo personally came to the door to find Han Changsheng.

When Han Changsheng saw Yayoi, he felt a little puzzled, this Yayoi has always ignored himself, and now he must have come to find himself without going to the Three Treasures Palace.

Sure enough, Yayoi said that there was something in the horse's belly to summon, so Han Changsheng immediately set off.

Han Chang's life was not in a hurry, and he only walked towards the big town where the horse's belly was located at the speed of an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

In the afternoon, Han Changming finally saw this half-human, half-horse demon beast again.

"I have summoned you here, there is an important errand for you, and you are willing to take over!"

Ma Belly put down the teacup in his hand and commanded without question.

"I don't want to!"

Han Changming's expression was very calm, and he didn't flinch under the momentum of the horse's belly, he didn't seem to be worried at all about angering the horse's belly, which would lead to death.

Surprisingly, Ma Belly did not get angry, but picked up the wooden cup that Han Changsheng was familiar with and took a sip of spiritual tea, and then asked casually: "Why don't you want to, don't you listen to what kind of errand it is first?"

"Oh, is it a beauty difference?"

Han Changsheng seemed to be a little moved.

"That's right, young people have to establish themselves, the pursuit of selflessness, you have to know that the world is not because of what you can do, but what you should do, for ordinary miners, their strategy is to survive and mine, but you are different, if you want to leave here, I can send you to the 'water bear', and then you volunteer to participate in its assessment, there is hope to leave this place." Otherwise, you don't count on me, my cultivation can't pass people out of the Jinxing Illusion Realm, and I don't have a spatial magic weapon like a roe deer owl mask, let alone send you out of the Wandering Secret Realm, but the water bear can do it. ”

The horse's belly has always had a cold and low tone, but at this moment, he was much more kind to Han Changming, and even very verbose to Han Changming with great truths.

When Han Changming saw this, he knew that it might not be a good thing to go to the water bear, but this was the only chance to save Xia Jiuchai.

Since the horse's belly is now asking for help, Han Changming said unceremoniously: "Why do you have to volunteer?"

The horse's belly did not hide: "The water bear has always asked the monks to voluntarily participate, and those who do not volunteer do not want it." ”

Han Changming's eyes flashed, knowing that the opportunity had come.

"It's not impossible for me to volunteer, but I need a nun to accompany me to the tardigrades. ”

Han Changming threw the jade disc to the horse's belly, and as soon as it caught it, he instantly saw two images with his divine sense.

"This male cultivator, Yayoi reported to me that she committed suicide in fear of sin, and this female cultivator, I was going to take her as a concubine, but she never agreed, so I put her under house arrest first, and when she willingly obeyed me, I held a door ceremony. ”

Although the horse's belly is a demon beast, its memory is very good, and he clearly remembers the news of Shoutao's death.

"Senior Ma, can you allow her to accompany me on a trip, she is my partner, and we came to this amazing secret realm together. ”

"As you wish, and this woman will give it to you, anyway, women are just like clothes to me, I don't like thin human female cultivators, big-hipped banshees are my favorite male demon cultivators. ”

Contrary to Han Changsheng's expectations, Ma Belly was very generous to 'give' Xia Jiuchai to him, looking unrelenting.

Seeing that the horse's belly was in a good mood, Han Changming asked casually, "Can I ask a few questions from my seniors?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Ma Bei's eyes flashed, knowing what Han Changming wanted to ask, he didn't refuse, because if Han Changming could go to the tardigrade to pass the assessment, Ma Bei, as a recommender, would be able to get what he dreamed of.

"Why is this place called the Secret Realm?"

"Because in addition to me, there are roe deer owls, water bears, Gongzizhen, and an alcoholic, we are known as the 'five major shocks', among which in terms of strength, it is the strongest among water bears. ”

"Even its predecessors are no match for it?"

"Let me tell you this, the water bear insect has reached the pinnacle of the 'hair extension' technique that can only be comprehended by high-level demon beasts, if it only uses the power of the flesh to punch me, I dare not say that I will become meat, at least it will lie on the ground. ”

"Then how did the seniors catch Xia Jiuchai and the others?"

"Originally, I had no way to go to other illusions, that day in the secret realm has been out of thin air similar to the sound of burping, I came out to see, and found that I can actually walk through the barriers between the illusions to other illusions, if the prohibition in the secret realm is a beast, then this beast seems to be eating support, so the prohibition is loosened, so I went to the roe deer owl cave, want to snatch the roe deer owl mask and star compass, unexpectedly found that the stone door of the roe deer owl cave is closed, and the door actually stood two human monks, so I caught them, not long after, the ban returned to normal, forcibly teleported me back to the golden illusion。 ”

After Han Changming listened, his face was as usual, but he was shocked in his heart, why did this horse's belly actually want to get the star compass?

And the reason why she was forbidden to eat too much, could it be related to the soul of her mother-in-law? She ate nearly 500 more monks that day, and she really ate too much.

It can be seen from this that Ma Belly did not know that he had killed the roe deer owl, obtained the roe deer owl mask and the star compass, and left from Gong Zizhen's hands unharmed.

"Well, I've already said everything I need to say, you've asked too much, and if there's anything else you don't understand, I'll talk about it when I get to the tardigrades tomorrow morning. ”

The horse's belly flashed his eyes, and he had already begun to chase away the guests.

However, when Han Changsheng turned around and left, Ma Bei, an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, actually shot a golden nail into Han Changming's body, and immediately lost his mana.

"What does Ma Senpai mean? Are you still afraid that you will run down?"

"I don't know, it stands to reason that you will definitely not be able to escape the Golden Illusion, but I don't know why, I am faintly uneasy, so I will leave a back hand, and when I get to the tardigrade tomorrow, I will naturally help you unblock. ”

Seeing this, Han Changsheng could only sigh secretly, it was really a bad move.

If the horse's belly only relied on the natural prohibition of the Golden Illusion Realm and ignored Han Chang's life, then he would be able to escape with Xia Jiuchai tonight.

He only needed to take the last of the two pills given by Sister Ding, temporarily restore his cultivation to the Dan stage, and then he could take Xia Jiuchai to teleport to the axe mountain where he had met the roe deer owl with the help of the roe deer owl mask.

After that, he could use the source power cultivation to open the Wandering Secret Realm with the help of the Lord of the Returning City Stone, even if the Returning City Stone could not be used there, they would at least get rid of the control of these high-level demon beasts.

But now that he is in the belly of a horse, he can only go to the tardispeller first and then find a way to leave.

Han Changming waited at the gate for a while, Xia Jiuchai walked out, and the horse's belly really released Xia Jiuchai's freedom, but she was also a golden nail in her body.

Han Changming took Xia Jiuchai and left the mansion in the belly of the horse.

I haven't seen her for half a year, Xia Jiuchai is a lot haggard, although she still has a noble aura on her body, but the original pair of eyes like a clear spring from a mountain stream on a quiet moonlit night are a little dull.

But it's understandable to think about it, after all, she has been grounded for half a year.

Tonight in the illusion, there is a bright moon hanging high, but I don't know if this is a real moon or a fake moon.

Xia Jiuchai lightly lifted her lips: "I've been trapped for a long time, can Brother Han accompany me for a while?"

Han Changming nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked together under the moonlight, until they walked to a stream near the town.

"On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade teach!"

Han Changming looked at the small bridge built in front of him, and the water was gurgling underneath, but this bridge revealed a sense of vicissitudes and decay, and he didn't know what era it was built in.

"Why did Brother Han suddenly read this poem?"

Xia Jiuchai's haggard face quietly flashed an imperceptible flush, and the whole person suddenly became more energetic, and began to smile smartly.

"Oh, I see this situation and this scene, the moon rises tomorrow, and there are so many bridges, so I think of this poem, I don't know what is wrong with this poem?"

Han Changsheng looked at Xia Jiuchai with doubts, not knowing what strange pictures she was making up in her mind.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with it!" Xia Jiuchai walked to the bridge, looked at the flowing water under the bridge, and couldn't help sighing, "Sad that the spring waves under the bridge are green, and they used to be shocked!"

Han Changming saw that Xia Jiuchai was still a little emotionally fluctuating, and asked, "Didn't the horse's belly do anything to you, right?"

"No, he never touched me, only said that he would tell it when I wanted to be his concubine willingly, and said that he would let me give birth to a lot of little monkeys, which really scared me to death in the past six months. ”

The corners of Han Changming's mouth twitched: "What, little monkey?"

"No, I'm wrong, it's pony's belly. ”

Xia Jiuchai realized that he was wrong when he was emotional.

The Golden Mirror was not cold in winter, but tonight for some reason, it snowed heavily above the nine heavens.

"Brother Han, although the frost wind breaks the blades of grass, when the next spring comes, the grass will still break through the mud, emerge from the soil little by little, re-bloom a flower, and bloom in its most splendid form. ”

Obviously, no one spoke to her for half a year, so the more Xia Jiuchai spoke, the more excited she became, and her eyes shone brightly.

But when Han Changming heard 'coming out of the soil', he couldn't help but shudder, because he remembered the scene of those mountain leaders crawling out of the soil one after another when he met Xi'er that night before.

Han Changming looked at the heavy snow, remembered a popular folk song, and couldn't help humming casually: "The wind and rain are cold tonight, and it can be compared to red flowers falling into the dust." ”

"Brother Han, I've heard this ballad you sing, but in what language are you singing now, why can't I understand it?"

"This is the dialect of my hometown. ”

Han Changming didn't explain much, and turned to look at the snow scene on the other side.

"Thank you, I've heard that 'if you are drenched in snow today, you will be white-headed in this life', I wonder if there will be more opportunities to enjoy the snow together in the future?"

Xia Jiuchai's leisurely voice came, but Han Chang's figure was stunned, he did not turn around, but was silent.

How could he not understand Xia Jiuchai's words, he was not a fledgling stunned young man, but he didn't have any love for Xia Jiuchai.

A gloomy look flashed in Xia Jiuchai's eyes, but he was quickly relieved.

"By the way, I have already found this object in the roe deer owl cave, and buried it under the stone tablet that says 'Hook Wu', so you can put it away so that no one will find it. ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Han Changming took out the star compass from the storage bag and handed it to Xia Jiuchai.

"This ...... It's a star compass? It's really good, now that we have this thing, when the expeditionary force crosses the sea, it can drive out when it encounters the Jiuli ghost fog. Xia Jiuchai's face was full of disbelief at first, and then she was overjoyed, but she quickly fell silent, her face was full of guilt, "Just because I want to find this star compass, Brother Han is trapped here with me, and it is unknown whether we can leave this place in our lifetime, so what is the use of calculating this star compass." ”
