Seeing that they couldn't hold each other, they were helpless, and finally took the initiative to bow their heads and apologize to the water fern demon.

The water fern demon who spoke milkily listened to it, and seemed very useful, so he didn't pursue it, but only told "You two talk quietly, don't disturb my cultivation", and went into the old nest in the stone crevice at the bottom of the pool.

The two brothers looked at each other, silently bypassed the waterhole, slowly climbed the steps, and came to the top of the stone platform.

Along the way, Liu Zai had already heard what had just happened, and at this time, he looked solemn and took out three sticks of true incense. This is the best of the incense. A standard of true incense, not as long as a foot, as thin as spider silk, but the price is more than 8,000 spirits, which is extremely precious.

Liu Zai directly took out such a superb incense, which shows his awe of the Emperor of the Hou Land.

Just kidding, according to her own junior brother, the stone statue of the emperor directly transformed into a golden body after absorbing a lot of wealth, and after triggering the appearance of Tu Niangniang in this place, it means that she has completely anchored this statue, and as long as she wants, she will be able to sense everything that happens here anytime and anywhere in the future.

Maybe at this very moment, she is looking at everything here through the golden eyes that have been partially golden!

Thinking of this, Liu Zai became more and more humble and humble, and led the free to worship incense and pray together.

After the salute, the two sat down in front of the stone house and discussed together what to do with this small underground dojo.

In Liu Zai's opinion, if there was no statue of the Earth Emperor seated, just by virtue of the intensity of the aura here, it would really not make him moved, after all, there were really a lot of caves and blessed places he had visited, and this space that could only be barely regarded as a small blessed land did not have anything particularly commendable. At most, it is just for the junior disciple to practice here often in the future, and it doesn't matter if he comes here or not.

However, everything is afraid of a "but", but there is a "but" in this inconspicuous small place.

- However, the former owner here not only worships the Hou Tu Niang Niang here, but also caused the manifestation of the Earth Emperor by mistake by his own junior brother, so he has to be cautious.

Because there is an unwritten rule in the spiritual world that once a certain place triggers the manifestation of a deity, then according to the rules, this place is considered the dojo of that deity.

"The Earth Emperor is showing the Holy Corner Mountain, this is not a trivial matter. Liu Zai said, "According to the rules, this small dojo that belongs to Houtu Niangniang needs to be sacrificed at four o'clock, and the incense can't be broken." And her manifestation is also because of you, and you are responsible for the incense worship, but is there a problem?"

"This is natural. Then can I come here often to cultivate?"

Liu Zai did not reply immediately, but took out a six-rank barrier breaking talisman, injected mana, and handed it to Youli.

Then, the two brothers tacitly separated and carried out a carpet exploration of the cave, and finally found nothing abnormal.

Eventually, the two returned to the waterhole.

Liu Zai said in his heart: "It seems that the spiritual eye of this cave should be under this pool." Otherwise, with just a mere water fern, how can you cultivate to become a refinement?"

"But it's occupied by the fern down there. ”

"It doesn't matter. There is always a first come, a first come. Liu Zai smiled, "I don't need it here, but it's just right for you." Since this place is safe, I can concentrate on cultivating here. ”

"By the way, brother, where did you go in the morning? ”

"Oh, we went to Xingwang Village to see a Yellow Urn Puja that uprooted the souls of the dead. The reason is that the Shengshan Daoist Association invited the ghost soldiers of the Yuzhou Lingyou Sect, and it took nearly a month to successively collect the heroic spirits of the soldiers and soldiers who died in the ten-year war in the county, and held a grand Zhaijiao Festival for them. ”

Hearing this, he said enviously: "It's very lively, right?"

As soon as the words fell, he said again: "I remember that there is a family in Xingwang Village that has a bad spirit, is it ...... It was the burial ground of those soldiers?"

Liu Zai smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, his hair stood on end, and he finally understood why Fang Lide chose to set the stronghold of Wu Desi there. It seems that he has an important task, which is to take care of the undead and prevent them from being used by people with intentions to bring harm to the world.

So, he asked, "Is the Yuzhou Ghost Sect the 'Three Ghosts'?"

"yes. Liu Zaidao, "Those three ghosts wanted to do something bad to you, but they were coerced and lured by me, so they obediently protected you in secret for a while." Among the 50,000 battlefield heroes they refined this time, it is very likely that there will be several future social and earthly spirits, so the imperial court attaches great importance to it. The three ghosts were worried that something would go wrong, so they invited me to help. Your father and mother thought it was strange, so they went with them to see it for a long time. ”

"I see. ”

"Okay, this is the case, I have to go back to report the safety of your father. Today is the third day of the first lunar month, and in the next half month, Anhua Town will hold a lively lantern festival in order to celebrate the accession of Yongyi Gong. However, none of this has anything to do with you, this time I have to put some pressure on you, don't get out of this cave if you don't advance to the middle stage of foundation building. ”

With a sad face, he muttered, "This is too inhuman...... By the way, senior brother, why don't you give this cave a name? ”

Liu Zai thought about it and said with a smile: "Here and in the Qianshan Temple, there are apricot trees as the treasure of the town view (cave), so let's simply call it 'Xingxuan Cave'." ”

"Xingxuandong ......" read it twice, and felt that it was catchy and okay, so he nodded in response.

At the end, Liu Zai instructed again: "Even the water fern under the pond is already a medium demon beast in the demon transformation stage, and the apricot tree on the stone platform that has been planted for hundreds of years has been born nine times out of ten. Although plant-type demon beasts are generally relatively gentle and rarely take the initiative to attack people, you still have to be careful when cultivating in front of the stone house.

"As for the five-element talisman escape technique in the animal skin document, it is quite a clever escape method. Since the Wind Resisting Technique is difficult to practice, it is not impossible for you to learn this method first. ”

You Li nodded, and watched the senior brother leave quickly.

After a while, he returned to the stone platform, took out a futon from his pouch, placed it on a stone three zhang away in front of the stone house, sat down, and concentrated on cultivation.

——————————

In front of the Yuyu Mountain, Liu Zai, who had gone and returned, was hovering in front of the snow-capped cliff, communicating with Xuan Yuzi in the cave.

"Master, the apprentice has been back in the mountain for a few days, and I have time to come to your old man's house today to say goodbye, and I hope you will not be surprised. ”

Waited for a while, but didn't respond. Liu Zai continued:

"Yesterday, Uncle Keyu has returned to Qingyun Village. In the past few days, he talked with his disciples about the situation in Anxi Prefecture and the world. The disciple deeply felt that the situation was treacherous, and only by working hard to improve his cultivation was the right way. By the way, the apprentice has successfully hugged Dan half a year ago, and he can finally share the worries of your old man......"

Although there was no response in the cave, Liu Zai could clearly sense the gentle breathing sound inside, and knew that his master must have listened to it word for word, but because he was in the process of breaking through the retreat, he couldn't reply in order to prevent the gong from going wrong.

So, he continued: "Xiao Daoxin found an underground cave in the back mountain, the aura is quite strong, and there is a small Houtu temple in it, half of his wealth and fortune were sucked by the stone statue of Houtu Niangniang, which actually triggered the divine manifestation of Houtu Niangniang, and it is really a person with great luck......

Before the words fell, the snow in front of the cave suddenly fell a little.

Liu Zai's eyes lit up, and he continued to chatter: "I named the cave house 'Xingxuan', Master, if you are not satisfied, you can wait until you get out of the customs and take it again." That cave is barely an inferior blessed land, and it is of little use to us, but for the little Dao heart, it is an excellent place to cultivate......

Two hours later, Liu Zai finally felt his mouth dry. He hadn't seen his master for several years, and he had almost finished talking about it, so he shut up.

"Finally, I have one more thing to report to you, that is, the Immortal League Conference is about to be held, and you should not be able to get out at that time, so the apprentice will participate on your behalf. It is almost a sure thing for the Pastoral Soul Villa to join the Immortal Alliance, but for its sect rating as a top sect, the disciple agreed with Master Ke Yu and the Dao Cheng Zhenren of the Pure Spirit Sect to vote against it, I don't know what you think?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a long and two short tuk tuk sounds in Liu Zai's consciousness, which was the code agreed by the master and apprentice, expressing agreement with the other party's opinion.

Liu Zai, who had received the quasi-letter, finally completely relieved his mind and continued to say some auspicious words such as "I hope the master's retreat goes smoothly" before returning to the Zhixuan Temple.

Dahuan country is in Dingzhou, and it is a boulder city.

The capital of the southeastern border state of Dahuan is named after a huge flying stone with a square of 200 zhang and a height of more than 10 zhang embedded in the center of the city.

This flying stone preceded the megalith, and the whole city was built around it. It's easy to see why: the north and west sides of the area are desert areas, and every year when the northwest wind blows, sandstorms blow. As a result, within a radius of several hundred miles, only the back of this boulder was not directly affected by the wind and sand, and gradually settled into a market town, and then slowly developed into a border town.

In the following decades, the Assassin Mansion of the Giant Stone City spent a lot of money to hire two great envoys of the Sau-religion to successively transform the desert landscape in the northwest of the city to a considerable extent.

The mountain god envoy brought two small hills from the vicinity to resist the wind and sand, and the wind god envoy set up a formation on the spot to move the wind sideways and guide the sand and dust to the east and west sides of the boulder city, thus greatly improving the ecological environment of the entire boulder city.

As a result, this near-miraculous practice attracted a large number of local people to believe in the Sau religion. Boulder City developed into a frontier trading city, and eventually became the capital of Anxi Prefecture.

As for the flying stone in the city, it became the location of the mansion of the dignitaries in the city. The "mountainside" area of Feilai Stone was artificially carved out of a vacant land, and gradually developed into a place of fireworks that made rich businessmen and famous people linger, and the largest green building in the city, Baihualou, is located in the center of the "mountainside" with an excellent view.

At night, the Baihualou was lit up, but it was contrary to the normal state of the city, and was lined up in front of the door by a row of soldiers wearing armor and murderous spirits, and the momentum directly deterred a group of regulars.

In a private room on the second floor, a group of warblers and warblers are surrounding a bearded man to persuade him to drink. Sitting opposite him, there was also a woman with outstanding appearance, but at this time she was tied up by five flowers, knelt on the ground, looked at the man with a resentful face, and said fiercely:

"Xiao Yuanjie, you can't die well!"

Xiao Yuanjie pinched the crisp breasts of the singer in his arms, and said with a smile:

"I don't know if I have to die well, but you are destined to die a bad death today. Tut-tut, looks handsome, it's a pity. If you are willing to say who is behind the scenes, Lao Tzu may be kind, and he will let you go. ”

The woman smacked at the ground, scolded with red eyes: "In vain, you are also surnamed Xiao!

Xiao Yuanjie took the mouth-to-mouth wine of the piano girl behind him, and he still didn't finish his words:

"Xiao Clan? If it weren't for the fact that my old man was also surnamed Xiao, Lao Tzu would have wanted to change his surname. You say that you are a remnant of the gang, and you don't understand the truth that you have a debtor and a master, so what are you doing to spill your anger on Lao Tzu?

The woman bit her lips tightly, the blood was red, gurgling, and after a while, her eyes rolled and she was out of breath on the spot.

Xiao Yuanjie rolled his eyes and scolded: "It's really bad luck to commit suicide again." Come on, drag it out!"

Then, a guard in black armor strode in, and was about to drag the body away, Xiao Yuanjie asked, "What time is it today?"

"Your Majesty, it's the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

Xiao Yuanjie waved his hand, and the guard immediately retreated without squinting.

"It's all Lantern Festival. He said to himself, "It's time to go back to Yadian tomorrow, surnamed Han, look at how you still hide and don't see Lao Tzu!"

Not far away, the old bustard, who had been cowering at the foot of the room, was already frightened, "This is the fourth one." How many dead soldiers of the Xiao clan are hidden in my Hundred Flowers Building?"
