Cultivation starts with time management

"Your corpse can read minds?" Luo Yan asked with a frown.

"What is 'my corpse'?" Kunlun Mirror protested against his name, "It's not mind reading, it's just a shallow thought that can roughly sense your induction. Just like the last time in the secret realm of the West Queen Mother Shrine, it can sense You have the same idea of ​​stealing it."

"I remember that Heavenly Demon seems to have this ability." Luo Yan's tone became more and more suspicious.

"As long as you are proficient in illusion, sensing thoughts is the basic skill." Kunlun Mirror replied, "I will help you block its induction first."

"So before, it was your fragments that sensed my thoughts, and deliberately designed this maze according to the map in my memory." Luo Yan said with a dark face, "The purpose is to lure me to go deeper."

"It's not necessarily to lure you to go deep." Kunlun Mirror objected, "Maybe I just want you to follow the original route and reach Chaoyuan Qimai smoothly all the way, and go back after you finish training. Instead of searching everywhere, you have a chance to find it. The presence."

"But now I know of its existence." Luo Yan sighed.

"So in the future, it will not be arranged according to the original route on the map." Kunlun Mirror also said with a sigh.

"Last time, it was constantly backtracking, but this time it was changed to the Great Teleportation of the Universe, right?" Luo Yan said with squinted eyes, "How come you, Po Jing, can come up with something new for me every time?"

"I am already proficient in the power of time and space!" Kunlun mirror argued, "Time and space! Manipulating time and space, isn't it instinct?"

"What should I do next?" Luo Yan asked impatiently, "If it connects several caverns head to tail to form a circular route, wouldn't I never be able to get out?"

"Theoretically, it is indeed possible." Kunlun Mirror said solemnly, "But don't worry, I can also interfere with its manipulation of the space here."

"You mean teleportation?" Luo Yan asked suspiciously, "Don't let Shi Liuli see the clue."

"Of course it's not to send you there!" Kunlun Mirror explained dumbfoundedly, "If it interferes with the transfer, you may be buried somewhere in the bottom of the sea just after half of the transfer!"

"So, instead of teleporting us to the location where your fragments are, the caverns in front of us are spatially assembled and connected into a passable route." Luo Yan thoughtfully said, "Like, Huarong Road? "

"What is Huarong Dao?" Kunlun Mirror asked curiously, "But it's roughly correct."

"If the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave is divided into areas centered on the cavern, then each area is connected by a corridor that is one foot high and half a foot wide."

"The fragments are trying to continuously assemble these areas, so that even if you keep going down, you will get farther and farther away from it."

"However, I have prevented its assembly."

"That is to say." Luo Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "The topography of the current Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave no longer changes."

"As long as I haven't lost the confrontation with it, the terrain won't change anymore." Kunlun Mirror gave an affirmative answer, "Of course, at this time it is different from the map and jade slips, and then you have to explore."

"So, you won't lose to it?" Luo Yan asked in a half-doubt and seven-point joking tone, "It's the main body anyway, if you lose to a fragment that has no intelligence and only instinct It's so embarrassing."

"No!" Kunlun Mirror became annoyed, "You don't have to worry about me, you better take care of yourself! The following route is very complicated now!"

Kunlun Mirror stopped talking, and Luo Yan continued to think.

Today's Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave has changed from a non-static simple maze to a static and complex maze.

The former is carefully designed and adjusted by the fragments of the Kunlun Mirror at any time. The purpose is to conceal his own existence, so that Luo Yan can quickly find Chaoyuan Qi and leave.

When Luo Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong, such an intention had already failed.As a result, the fragments quickly disrupted the terrain of the maze, and Ah Jing, who was aware of this, immediately stopped it, and finally finalized the maze as static and no longer changeable.

In this way, it returns to pure pathfinding activities.

"Woo." Shi Liuli came back from the cave next to her, her expression seemed a little listless, probably exhausted, "Junior Brother, both my legs are numb."

"Let's find a place to sit first." Seeing that Miss Shi looked like a rabbit with drooping ears, Luo Yan was annoyed and funny in his heart, so he teased her, "Would you like to eat casually in the future?"

"I won't eat." Shi Liuli pursed her lips, "I've finished washing my marrow."

Luo Yan:? ? ?

He opened his eyes slightly, as if he was trying to tell whether the expression on Shi Liuli's face was fake or not.However, nothing but pure emotion was seen in her eyes.

Some kind of mixed feeling of elation and chagrin that you've got what you want, but at a great cost.

"I don't know why." Shi Liuli gathered the hem of her robe, found a clean place on the ground and sat down, grinning her teeth, "All the residual turbidity in the bone marrow went out...although the process was really painful. "

"So that's how it is." Qingpingjian said suddenly, "The fish she ate before had white eyes and no vision, so it was called 'no turbidity'."

"There is an abyss in the East Sea, and its depth is unknown. There are fish without turbidity, and they are in harmony with the way of transformation of yin and yang. The ears and eyesight of the food are clear, and the sinking is completely exhausted...In short, this kind of fish only grows in the deep and deep sea. But it can cleanse people's turbid qi, which has something in common with Chaoyuan Qimai."

Luo Yan: ...

What do you want?Co-authoring is really invincible luck?Miss Shi, you unreasonable metaphysics...

Hmm, wait, looks like it might come in handy now.

"Senior Sister!" Luo Yan suddenly said solemnly, and Shi Liuli was shocked, "This is terrible!"

"What's wrong?" Miss Shi asked blankly.

"Wrong way!" Luo Yan showed a painful and remorseful expression, "Somewhere before, I misremembered the steps on the map, and now I don't know where I went!"

"Oh." Shi Liuli nodded half-understood, "But junior brother should still remember the way we came and went, right? Then do we want to go back the same way?"

"No." Luo Yan said with a flattering smile, "It's all here, let's explore the front first, if it's all dead ends, it's not too late to turn back. But since this is an exploration that is off the map, let the senior sister choose the route How about it?"

"But..." Shi Liuli was a little moved (I was actually asked to lead the way), and a little proud (the younger brother admitted his mistake), and said with a deliberately embarrassed face, "Didn't it be agreed at the beginning, let me listen to it in the cave?" What about yours? Is this not very good..."

"I must take back my previous arrogant statement." Luo Yan said with a modest smile, "Senior sister's strong fortune is more than thousands of times better than my crude and clumsy tricks?"

"Fortunately, there is a senior sister here, so it is not my turn to continue to dictate and interfere with the itinerary. Please use your unique intuition and luck to take me down this unremarkable Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave Bar."

"Can you stop talking? I'm going to vomit!" In my mind, accompanied by the screen swiping prompt of false synchronization value, it was the scream of the Kunlun mirror that could hardly hold back.

Chapter 8 The second "Return to the Market"

Three-way road, go left.

At the intersection, go left.

When you encounter a dead end, turn around and go back, go left.

Luo Yan finally couldn't bear it and asked:

"Since just now, we seem to have been going left?"

"You don't like going left?" Shi Liuli glanced at him, "Then let's go right next."

"No." Luo Yan didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this moment, "Are we just walking around like this? What about the good luck we promised?"

"You dare to question my luck, Senior Sister?" Shi Liuli put her hands on her hips.

"Don't dare." Luo Yan immediately changed his face, showing a flattering smile, "But... Senior Sister, can you tell me how your strong luck works? Cough, I don't doubt Senior Sister, I just want to get rid of it Eye-opening, long experience."

"It's complicated to say." Shi Liuli said seriously, "The so-called strong luck is the ability to get what you want."

"As long as I concentrate on finding Chaoyuan Qimai as soon as possible, then even if I just go left blindly, I can reach the destination smoothly in the end, understand?"

Luo Yan suddenly became a little confused, your metaphysics is too unreasonable!When you encounter an intersection and always go left, you can reach the end?

Hey, wait, if there is no circular route in the maze, isn't going always to the left the same as traversing the maze?It seems to be ok...

The two of them walked for several more hours, but they didn't know how far they had penetrated into the bottom of the sea, and they were still surrounded by dark rock walls that remained unchanged.

Shi Liuli stopped suddenly and said:

"Let's rest first and eat something."

Seeing her boredly taking out the cauldron, Luo Yan muttered in his heart, and asked Kunlun Mirror:

"A Jing, are we on the right path now?"

"I don't know." Kunlun Mirror replied.

"You broken mirror, why don't you even know this? Then why do your fragments know?"

"Why do I know?" Kunlun Mirror replied speechlessly, "It has been here for tens of thousands of years, and of course it has scanned every inch of the cave. I am a newcomer just like you, how could I know this? I It can only interfere with its spells with spells."

"Then tell me, Miss Shi really has some kind of luck to lead me out of this maze and find your body fragments and Chao Yuan Qi veins?" Luo Yan continued to ask suspiciously.

"If you ask my opinion, I think it's outrageous." Kunlun Mirror said honestly, "Where does such a strong fortune come from in this world? It is impossible for the heaven to favor a certain person alone."

"In this case, how do you explain the Sanyu Treasure Ship last time and the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave this time?" Luo Yan was still very suspicious, "She said she wanted to speed up the marrow washing, and found the secret body forging technique; she said I wanted to skip the marrow washing, but I met Wuzhuo fish again."

"Think about it, if you go to the bathroom, you can skip the marrow washing, so what's the point of me going to the Suoyao Tower in Shushan to participate in the trial, and taking the risk to find a blood pool to wash the marrow?" He said more and more The more angry and aggrieved, "Senior Sister An even broke her natal sword!"

"Calm down, don't show your ugly face." Kunlun Mirror said quickly, "It is impossible for a person's luck to remain unchanged. The previous two successes do not mean that it will also work this time."

"I'm not jealous of her..." Luo Yan was about to continue to defend himself when he saw Shi Liuli lift the lid of the cauldron, and the aroma of the soup wafted out in the space formed by the sealing water seal, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I'd better drink it first Soup, let's save face for senior sister."

In the small and dark cave, the two of them surrounded a cauldron, and you and I drank the soup one by one, feeling warm all over our bodies.

Shi Liuli put away the cauldron, sighed and said:

"It's too boring to just go on like this, can't you encounter some weird things?"

"Senior Sister, are you safe and sound?" Luo Yan asked inexplicably.

"What's the meaning of a smooth journey?" Shi Liuli was dissatisfied, "Why didn't we encounter danger first, and then our senior sisters and brothers supported each other, and finally overcame the difficulties and obstacles, and arrived at the position of Chaoyuan Qimai? Isn't this design more interesting? ?”

"What kind of old-fashioned novel routine are you..." Luo Yan just complained, only to hear Kunlun Jing suddenly shout:

"Be careful! It finds that it can't beat me, and it's about to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the rocks under the two people's feet began to tremble violently.Luo Yan only had time to wrap his arms around Shi Liuli's waist, when everything around him suddenly fell down.

……

At the top of a huge natural rock cave, a large-scale collapse and subsidence suddenly occurred, and countless gravels shot down.

Two figures came out from the smoke and dust, pulled up the sword light in the air, quickly circled and landed on the ground - it was Luo Yan who was holding Shi Liuli.

Just now, at the moment when he fell down due to the cracking of the ground, Luo Yan had already seen the surrounding situation clearly.

The violent earthquake destroyed not only the cave they were in, but the entire space around them.

If you stop suddenly in the air, you may be hit head-on by a large amount of rubble falling rapidly from above.

Therefore, Luo Yan calmly hugged Shi Liuli, and fell down with countless falling stones, while constantly splitting the stones that might be close to him with the Taohua sword.

Faced with this sudden situation, Miss Shi once again revealed her immature side.She just hugged Luo Yan's arm tightly, and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at what was happening around her.

It wasn't until the two of them fell into the huge cave that Luo Yan quickly moved across the sky with his sword, and brought Shi Liuli out of the bombardment range of the collapse.

And their original location has been covered by a large number of stones and smoke, and even a hill of gravel has been built under the cave—if they moved slower just now, they would be buried alive by these gravels. Or to expose Qiu Changtian's Lei Fa in order to protect himself, in short, it is not a good result.

"You can open your eyes, Senior Sister." Luo Yan said, "We have landed."

Hearing the sporadic sound of gravel falling to the ground, Shi Liuli shuddered and shook her head violently in fear.

"Open your eyes!" Luo Yan yelled at her intentionally.

"Why are you so fierce!" Shi Liuli really caught the trick, and immediately opened his eyes to choke him.

"If it weren't for your crow's mouth, saying that you are 'suddenly in danger', would we have encountered such a thing?" Luo Yan said helplessly, "If the passage to go out is blocked by collapse, we will be trapped Died in the depths of the sea!"

This is of course a lie, because the Kunlun Mirror can teleport regardless of space—provided there is no interference from body fragments.

As long as the body fragments can be found, they can be teleported away from here anytime and anywhere.

Shi Liuli didn't know this, and she thought it was because she said something casually that caused the landslide in the cave under the sea, so she said with tears in her eyes:

"Then I don't know how clever it is!"

"How about your own luck, don't you know?" Luo Yan sighed and said, "Forget it, since your previous prophecy has come true, then the following 'Finally found Chaoyuan Qimai' must also come true for me!"

"It must be effective, it must be effective." Shi Liuli closed his eyes again, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and shook vigorously, as if a mountain Taoist asked God to come down.

Luo Yan no longer cared about her, but looked around carefully, and found that the cave here was much larger than the previous caves, almost the size of a modern football field.

Different from other caves, the cave here is not completely dark, but coral trees are scattered here and there, and there are star sand-like light spots on the surface of its craggy antler-like surface, which reminds Luo Yan of the secret place of the Sanyu Treasure Ship. The floating return to ruins in the depths of the great gully.

Around the palace, there are also this kind of luminous coral trees, which make the whole palace look like a fairyland in the Dragon Palace.

Luo Yan's line of sight followed the twilight of these coral trees and projected them all the way to the end of the cave, and he saw that almost a mile away, surrounded by a large number of luminous coral jungles, was an equally beautiful palace.

Just like the old Guixu Palace.

Chapter 9 Coral Shrine, Gloomy Ghost Dragon

"That's..." Following Luo Yan's gaze, Miss Shi couldn't believe her eyes, "Return to the market?"

"No." Luo Yan shook his head, "It should be just an ancient ruin from the same period, so it has the same architectural style and outline."

"You mean, the ancient monks who once lived at the bottom of the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave..."

"It is very likely that the same group of ancient monks built the Guixu in the Great Valley." Luo Yan said.

"That's it." Shi Liuli was thoughtful, then suddenly said excitedly, "Why don't we go explore the palace?"

Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, only to hear Kunlun Mirror suddenly say:
