Volume 1 Beginning to Cultivate Immortals Chapter 17 Disaster Comes from the Earth
Ignoring Ji Zhu's gaze, Bai Chen was walking quickly in front, Xiao Xing had already told him that Ji Zhu was secretly observing himself, and his heart was full of speechlessness and helplessness.
Why don't you observe me all the time? Bai Chen's face was a little embarrassed, his scalp was numb and uncomfortable all over his body, but Ji Zhu thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't know that he had already been discovered by Bai Chen.
The two of them walked all the way without anyone talking, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and they didn't encounter any spirit beasts and dangers along the way, I don't know how long they were looking, and the surroundings became dark, and it seemed that it was already night.
At night, the view of the valley is even worse, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see anything clearly in the fog, and the air temperature drops suddenly, even colder than in the morning, and the evening is also the time for many nocturnal animals.
Faintly in the fog can see many glowing eyes, like ghosts in the fog shuttle, with the ears can also hear the voice of unknown creatures, in this night mountain fog feel particularly terrifying.
Ji Zhu felt that the surrounding environment became weird with the night, and a slight sense of fear suddenly rose in his heart, after all, he had never encountered such an environment since he was a child, and he was a girl.
Although the cultivation is very high, the heart is still very fragile, and it is inevitable to be a little scared.
Seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, Ji Zhu hurriedly shouted to Bai Chen in front of him: "It's not early, and the vision is not good here, let's find a place to meditate and rest until tomorrow! ”
"Okay young lady, where are we going to rest?" Bai Chen, who was originally walking in front, stopped when he heard this, thinking that he was just looking for a place to practice the cultivation exercises, he hadn't practiced in the past few days, so he took this opportunity to improve.
Maybe he can restore his strength to the fifth level of Qi training.
"I don't know! It's so foggy here, and it's so dark, let's go find it first!"
After a while, the two of them found a small open space, Bai Chen meditated cross-legged without saying a word, and Ji Zhu walked to the opposite side of Bai Chen and sat down cross-legged, and the two of them were separated by about two feet for safety.
The two of them seemed to be meditating, but in fact, they were both looking at each other secretly, due to the limited divine sense here, Ji Zhu could only pretend to close his eyes, but he was actually secretly observing Bai Chen.
She had always been very curious about this young man, and felt that he seemed out of place with the others, and his face had always been calm, and he spoke to herself steadily, unlike the other children who spoke to her with a sense of awe.
And Ji Zhu is also very confident in her appearance, even if many people in the family are secretly looking at her along the way, she can feel it, but Ling Bai has never looked at her, is she an ugly girl in front of him?
Ling Bai looked at it, although his face was very yellow and ugly, but after a closer look, he felt that this Ling Bai was very attractive and unforgettable.
And Bai Chen's divine consciousness was not affected much because of his void ability, and he was also secretly looking at Ji Zhu at this time, usually because he didn't want to have too much contact, he didn't look at it carefully, but he didn't expect that this woman was quite good at looking closely.
Due to the reason of going out, Ji Zhu was wearing a Taoist robe for going out, although he couldn't see his figure, but his delicate face was enough to fascinate all beings.
Ji Zhu's face also appeared and disappeared in the mist, and when he looked at her, he was like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, sitting there quietly, beautiful and moving, this scene made Bai Chen look at it for a long time, and after a long time, Bai Chen retracted his consciousness and felt a little emotional.
No wonder Xiang Ming always told him that he could have an eye addiction when he went to a certain place with many beautiful women, but he never knew what it meant, and he didn't know what eye addiction was until today, but he didn't expect it to be really enjoyable.
Bai Chen felt that it was almost late at night at this time, so he directly closed his eyes and cultivated.
Early the next morning, Bai Chen slowly opened his eyes and got up to move his muscles and bones, feeling that he had recovered very well yesterday, although he had not recovered to the middle stage of the fifth layer of Qi training, he had also reached the early stage of the fifth layer.
Ji Zhu also got up in meditation, looked at the sky at this time and knew that it was morning, glanced at Bai Chen, and then looked at the surrounding environment: "This formation is really not ordinary, and the place where we are has changed again." ”
When Bai Chen heard this, he was really meditating on a stone yesterday, and now the place where he got up turned out to be a piece of grass, so amazing? I don't know if I can learn it!
"Now we don't know the direction, we go to the center point marked yesterday, and when we get to the center point, we can know the route we took yesterday, but we don't know that this is not far from the center point. Ji Zhuyu's hand moved, and a magic weapon appeared in her hand, only to see that there was a pointer on the magic weapon, and now it was pointing in one direction.
Ji Zhu looked at the direction displayed by Guan Bao, and said to Bai Chen: "Last time, we left a coordinate where we were scattered in the team, and now we can return to the origin by following this pointer, we will go back to the origin first and then look for it." ”
After speaking, the two of them followed the pointer in Ji Zhu's hand, and the pointer pointed in one direction, and they were not afraid of getting lost in this fog.
This time, the two of them did not have the embarrassing atmosphere of yesterday, because Ji Zhu spoke on the road first.
"Then your name is Ling Bai, right! How long have you been in my Ji family?" Ji Zhu directly broke the atmosphere and chatted with Bai Chen.
Bai Chen thought about it, could he have been here for seven or eight days, or five or six days, anyway, it was less than ten days, of course, he couldn't say this, so he had to reply: "I have just been here for a short time, in fact, I am a hired cultivator. ”
In the past few days before I arrived in Yougu Mountain, I heard the children of the Ji family say that the word hired cultivators means that a family hires some casual cultivators or some professional employment groups outside, and gives them a bounty to let them work for themselves for a period of time or let them complete a certain task.
To put it bluntly, it is to take money to do things, and when hiring, you have to sign a soul contract just in case to prevent the risk of hidden exposure of the family, after all, you are not an insider in the family, and when you hire cultivators, you are also mixed, I don't know who will join in.
If you violate the content of the soul contract, it is said that the low cultivation will directly die, and even if you don't die, your cultivation will be deeply affected, so it will be difficult to improve your cultivation in the future, and it may be possible to die for life and not be able to advance, so hiring a cultivator generally will not violate the contract.
This makes the family very reassured, even if the children of other families sign this contract, they can be hired.
And there are also many hired cultivators in the team of the Ji family's trip, and the deputy captain Bai Feng is one of them, and after Bai Chen heard this, he directly lost the fake Ji family identity card he made.
The identity of this hired monk is obviously much more convenient than that of the children of the family, although his identity card feels seamless, but there is also a certain risk of exposure, and the identity card of hiring a monk does not need it, you say yes.
Even if he can check the files when he goes back, he will have already returned to Ling's house by that time, so what can he do if he knows about it then?
"Are you a hired cultivator?" Ji Zhu was a little disappointed when he heard this, he thought that such an excellent young man as Ling Bai was a member of the Ji family, but he didn't expect it to be a hired cultivator.
"When will the family's contract with you expire? Ji Zhu thought about it, ordinary hired cultivators have time, so he asked curiously.
"Uh..." Bai Chen really didn't think about this question, and directly made one up in his mind: "This mission is almost over." ”
"Then have you ever thought about staying in the Ji family?" Ji Zhu's words were a bit like wanting to recruit Bai Chen.
Bai Chen raised his eyebrows, did he have such a good impression in front of Miss Ji Family? If you want to recruit me, but it is impossible: "I understand Miss Kindness, but not long after I entered Xiuzhen, there is still an elderly mother waiting for me to support in Miao Bo City, so I can't stay in the Ji family and serve all the time." ”
Bai Chen's eyes showed longing, as if he really had an elderly mother waiting for him to support, Xiao Xing saw his appearance in Bai Chen's body and secretly kept rolling his eyes, and said in his heart that this kid is really good at acting.
Ji Zhu looked at Bai Chen after hearing this, but he didn't expect this Ling Bai to be so dutiful, and his favorability instantly increased greatly.
The two of them chatted while walking, and even Bai Chen didn't know that with this exchange, Bai Chen's good impression of Ji Zhu also increased slightly.
With the passage of time, the original mark of the two of them got a lot closer, and when there was still some distance between the original punctuation point, Ji Zhu seemed to have discovered something, departed from the original route, and headed to the left.
Seeing this, Bai Chen also followed, and when he arrived at the area where Ji Zhu discovered, he seemed to see a high stone from the fog, and as he walked, he also saw the full view of the high stone.
This high stone can have about eight zhang, and the width is only about two zhang, if it looks like a pillar from a distance, but it is covered by fog here, and I don't know how Ji Zhu found it.
"Ling Bai, don't you think there's anything wrong with this stone?" Ji Zhu turned around this high stone a few times, and felt that something was wrong, there were trees and flowers in the fog, and even if there were stones, it was not as obvious as this.
"What's wrong?" After a long time of communication, Bai Chen's way of speaking to Ji Zhu was also very casual, and he didn't notice it at all.
Ji Zhu didn't feel anything, just recalled something in his mind, looked at this Gao Shi and said suspiciously: "When I was in the sect before, according to the explanations of some elders, each formation has a formation eye, as long as the formation eye is broken, the formation will be automatically lifted, maybe this is an array eye." ”
Bai Chen thought to himself, how could the array eye be so conspicuous, and at a glance, he could see that this was clearly a stone?
Bang!, I saw Ji Zhu touching the stone, as if he had touched something, Bai Chen sighed in his heart, is there a drama? This is really a burst? Luck is too good.
That high stone seemed to have opened something, only to hear a booming sound on it, Ji Zhu's face showed excitement, and he said in his heart that there was really something here, looking straight up, what could be the change.
Bai Chen also stared at the beads and looked up, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, he only heard the sound getting louder and louder, and the ground seemed to be shaking a little.
"Earthquake?" the two looked at each other, both puzzled.
Boom!, the ground under the feet of the two of them suddenly cracked, and the two of them only felt that their feet were empty, but they didn't react, and they fell directly down with a brush.
This sudden moment in mid-air Bai Chen was about to cry, didn't he say that there was a change above? Why was there suddenly no one below? I used to say that there was a disaster in the air, but this time I finally experienced what it means to be a disaster on the ground.
