There is no life in the secret realm.
The branches of the towering ancient trees that have grown for thousands of years are withered and yellow, and the leaves are withered and withered. There is no trace of green as far as the eye can see.
The sky was also gloomy, with leaden gray clouds frozen in place, as if a downpour would fall at any time.
Pingxiu walked in the secret realm of the red fox and felt extremely depressed.
"Why did the Red Fox Secret Realm lose all life and become like this?" She asked in confusion.
Han Lingguang said: "The clan leader who led the tribe to attach themselves to the Han family asked my ancestors to help the Wild Red Fox Clan set up the Luotian Formation in the secret realm, and tie the momentum of the mountains and rivers in the secret realm to the fate of the Wild Red Fox Clan. In this way, the clan members can use the momentum of mountains and rivers to practice."
"The prosperity of the mountains and rivers makes it easier for the Wild Red Fox Clan to cultivate. Similarly, the prosperity of the Wild Red Fox Clan can also feed back the momentum of the mountains and rivers. The first-generation clan leader's move was originally a good intention, and he was full of heart, thinking about future generations."
"But not only did he not expect, but we, the Han clan, also didn't expect that the Wild Red Fox clan would be weakening generation after generation, as if they were cursed."
"Later, an incurable disease suddenly appeared among the tribe..."
Han Lingguang sighed heartbrokenly and couldn't say any more.
Since ancient times, prosperity and decline, decline and prosperity are all inevitable trends.
A sect and a family that can prosper for a long time cannot do without the dedicated efforts of each generation.
Thinking of this, Pingxiu couldn't help but glance at Xue Ning.
Although she also hated the way Black Sky Dog, the leader of the Blood Moon Sect, behaved, she suddenly seemed to understand why Black Sky Dog had so many children.
The Blood Moon Sect and the Evil Demon Valley are different organizations that have become established and occupy the Western Wilderness as their territory.
Since the establishment of the Blood Moon Sect, the main altar has been moving east and west. The religion is also a mixed bag, and the external situation can be said to be precarious. It depends on the iron-blooded politics of each generation of popes to continue the life of the Blood Moon Sect.
By the time of Black Sky Dog's generation, the division within the sect had become increasingly serious. Black Sky Dog could no longer turn the tide and could only rely on his personal abilities to balance the disobedience of all parties.
In this case, he urgently needs a talented and wealthy heir.
First, through the method of decentralization, power is granted to the heirs, and the dispersed power is gradually gathered into one's own hands, which has a deterrent effect on the various protectors and venerables.
Secondly, choosing the best among the best, if a pope who is more powerful than him can be selected from among the successors, then there should not be a problem for the Blood Moon Sect's teachings to continue for another hundred years.
It can be said that Black Sky Dog's idea of solving problems is exactly the same as that of the emperor in the mortal world.
Pingxiu thought of the dreams she had had before, and her eyes when looking at Xue Ning became much softer, even showing a bit of pity that she was not even aware of.
As if feeling Pingxiu's gaze, Xue Ning raised her eyelashes and gave Pingxiu a cold and restrained glance.
In front of Han Lingguang, he couldn't help himself and showed affection towards Pingxiu like he did when the two were alone.
There seemed to be a clear dividing line in his heart, and the boy's unique pride kept reminding him: Don't show vulnerability in front of your "opponent" and don't cross that red line.
In this way, even if he fails in the end, at least his dignity is still there.
"Miss Ping, you haven't told me yet, what exactly does Mr. Feng Sixth have to do with this matter?"
Recalling the panicked look on Pingxiu's face when he mentioned Feng Wujiu before departure, Han Lingguang couldn't help but ask.
Along the way, Pingxiu had already prepared a plan to deal with it.
She half-truthfully said: "After taking a dip in the spiritual spring that night, I got up in the middle of the night and accidentally bumped into my sixth cousin leaving the guest house and walking into the wilderness alone. I was curious and followed him secretly."
"Sixth cousin stopped by the pond and seemed to be talking to someone using a formation, but the distance was too far, so I couldn't hear many of the words clearly. I only heard the person talking to him ordering the sixth cousin to find the wild man as soon as possible. The bones of the ancestors of the Red Fox clan were destroyed."
"This order is really weird. I was worried that my sixth cousin had been deceived by a gangster. I wanted to find out quietly and figure it out slowly. I didn't expect that something like this would happen today. I immediately thought of my sixth cousin."
"I'm always afraid..." Ping Xiu said in a low voice sincerely, as if she really cared about Feng Wujiu, "I'm always afraid that this matter has something to do with the sixth cousin. If the sixth cousin does something that harms Zhenwu Temple, Come on, how can I still have the dignity to stay in Cuiyun Cave?"
Pingxiu's voice was full of emotion, and her acting was full of sincerity. If Feng Wujiu were present, he would have put his hands in his hands and laughed, praising, "Great show, great show."
Han Lingguang frowned and asked in confusion: "Destroy the bones of the ancestors of the Wild Red Fox Clan?"
He really couldn't figure out what benefits other than getting some psychological pleasure from pulling out the dead and whipping the corpse.
Xue Ning's expression was much weirder. Although he couldn't see, he couldn't help but look back to Pingxiu several times.
Han Lingguang guessed: "Is he an enemy of the Wild Red Fox Clan?"
But the Wild Red Fox Clan has lived in seclusion for so many years, so there is no enemy who needs to be whipped to satisfy their hatred.
Han Lingguang was puzzled.
The three of them walked quickly, relying on Han Lingguang's familiarity with the terrain, and quickly arrived at the family cemetery.
The cemetery of the Wild Red Fox Tribe was originally built in a sea of purple alfalfa flowers. Now the flowers are gone, leaving only skinny flower stems trembling in the wind.
Each fox clan's grave is a semicircular mound made of white stones with a smooth surface.
The cemetery occupies a vast area, and in order to find Qin Huaichu as soon as possible, the three of them decided to work separately.
Pingxiu was responsible for searching the west side of the cemetery, while Xue Ning and Han Lingguang were responsible for searching the other three directions.
Two hours later, the three of them returned to the same place to reunite.
Pingxiu took the lead and said: "I didn't find anyone here."
Xue Ning also shook his head.
Han Lingguang sighed: "I don't have one here either."
He was a little disappointed and even more worried. If it wasn't Qin Huaichu who took Linlang's body away, who would it be?
Among the three, Pingxiu has the most flexible mind. He can often find new ways and find unexpected angles of thinking.
Her eyes slowly swept over the white tombs, and her thoughts quickly turned around, and she suddenly asked: "Lingguang-Jun, do you know where this white stone comes from?"
Han Lingguang was stunned and said, "What does Miss Ping mean by this?"
Ping Xiu said: "I wonder if Mr. Qin might have gone looking for historical materials to build a tomb. If he really brought Linlang's bones back, he would never have hastily buried her."
Han Lingguang suddenly understood and high-fived: "Miss Ping, thanks to your help, I actually forgot this section."
"If I remember correctly, the quarry of this Yong'an stone is near the Red Fox clan's ancestral temple. Let's rush over and have a look."
Pingxiu nodded: "Okay."
Xue Ning felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard the two of them talking to each other and not being able to cooperate with each other tacitly.
I remember that when He Hepingxiu was trapped in Langhuan Paradise, he cooperated so well that he deceived so many pairs of eyes of the Blood Moon Sect and successfully escaped.
That was the first time Xue Ning cooperated with a female disciple, and the result was unexpectedly good. That was why Xue Ning pulled Ping Xiu onto the pirate ship.
The tacit understanding between the two made him feel like a fish in water, but now Xue Ning knew that Pingxiu was not the only one who had a tacit understanding with him. She and other men could also have that kind of tacit understanding.
After driving for a while, Ping Xiucai discovered that Xue Ning had unknowingly fallen behind her and Han Lingguang.
She turned around and said, "Senior Brother Xue, this way, follow us quickly."
Han Lingguang stopped and asked worriedly: "Brother Han Chao, but am I too fast?"
After all, Xue Ning is starting from scratch now. His foundation is weak and he can't keep up with the cultivation level of Jindan. He is understandable.
Xue Ning, however, was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and was immediately pricked by Han Lingguang's words.
He said quietly: "No, I can keep up."
He knew that Han Lingguang had a noble character and was not a shady villain, but he couldn't help but wonder if Han Lingguang was looking down on him intentionally.
Xue Ning was worried about gains and losses, and seemed to have turned into a self-pitying woman.
He hated this feeling, but he couldn't adjust his unbalanced mentality.
Ping Xiu had already noticed that Xue Ning was not in a good mood.
She had a keen mind and had already guessed why Xue Ning was acting like this.
But she didn't comfort him in time, partly because she wanted to "retaliate with teeth" and let him taste the feeling of being left out; partly because she thought Xue Ning's eating appearance was cute and wanted to watch it for a while longer.
But seeing Xue Ning so low now, she couldn't help but think about whether it was too bad of her to do this.
Pingxiu took out the Five Elements Tianluo umbrella, retreated to Xue Ning's side, opened the umbrella, and took Xue Ning's right arm.
Xue Ning was stunned for a moment and raised his eyelids in shock. There seemed to be a bright light flashing in his dim eyes, getting brighter and brighter.
"Lingguang-Jun, please give us a ride with the wind in your palm."
Han Lingguang saw that after Pingxiu pressed the switch, the arrow-shaped golden umbrella tip suddenly cracked open several times, and two pairs of paper-thin, long, narrow and light metal wings stretched out and flapped slightly.
This mechanism is indeed exquisitely made. Han Lingguang couldn't help but praise: "The design of your magic weapon is really subtle. May I ask which master of the weapon is the masterpiece?"
Pingxiu puffed up her chest proudly, with a little bit of girlishness.
"This Five Elements Heavenly Umbrella was a gift from my father when I was a child. It was not made by one person, but was jointly made by many masters of the Feng Family Weapon Refining Workshop. Many semi-finished products were scrapped before, and they have been refined continuously. It took more than ten times to get this one."
After hearing this, Han Lingguang smiled and said, "Then this is really a very precious gift."
Xue Ning felt the blood rush to his face. Comparing the two sides, the car of watermelons he paid for this morning seemed to be a naked joke.
Han Lingguang raised his palm and waved it. The palm wind contained spiritual power and flapped towards the two pairs of metal wings.
The metal wings opened and closed and flapped up and down, whipping up strong winds and sending the person holding the umbrella soaring upwards and suddenly drifting away.
Xue Ning moved his arms twice, trying to get rid of Pingxiu.
"I don't need you to take it."
Pingxiu was not used to his petty temper and said coolly: "Senior Brother Xue, we are at least thirty feet above the ground now. If we fall, we will break our legs."
Xue Ning said: "Do you really want me to be so embarrassed in front of Han Lingguang?"
Pingxiu pretended to be puzzled and said: "Why do you care so much about Lord Lingguang's vision?"
Xue Ning gritted his teeth and said: "You know it clearly. You are so smart, it is impossible not to know. Why do you ask even though you know it?"
He suddenly felt that he was the one who was guilty.
He worries about gains and losses, but for Pingxiu, he is just a pastime in a peaceful life.
Pingxiu said lightly: "Yes, I know, I did it on purpose."
She muttered viciously: "Who told you to be a stubborn duck?"
Xue Ning was furious and almost wanted to put down Pingxiu's hand immediately.
Pingxiu suddenly stretched his hand down, slipped five fingers into the young man's fingers, and clasped his hand tightly.
Xue Ning's heart was shaken, and his anger suddenly died down.
Then, he couldn't help but slowly squeezed Pingxiu's hand.
My heart was pounding, pounding.
Xue Ning was shrouded in an inexplicable fear, and there was a spasmodic tension in his limbs.
He wanted to hold it tighter, and then hold it tighter, but he was afraid that if he used too much force, it would hurt Pingxiu.
Pingxiu glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Are you still angry?"
Xue Ning's mouth was dry and he didn't know how to answer.
"It's just like the girl's house."
Xue Ning raised her eyebrows and denied: "I'm not."
"Oh" Pingxiu drawled, "Aren't you?"
Xue Ning was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't bear to let go of her hand.
He suddenly remembered the mutual support and restraint among the five elements.
If he were ice, Pingxiu must have restrained his fire. In front of her, he had almost no power to stand up and resist.
When the three of them rushed to the market near the ancestral temple and searched around, they found that Qin Huaichu was unconscious on the ground and could not be awakened no matter what.
Pingxiu found a handful of burned incense ashes beside him, put a little of it to his nose and smelled it.
"It's a pillow dream fragrance," she raised her head and said. "After smelling it, he will fall into a nightmare and fall asleep. He can only wait until the time comes to wake up naturally. If he is forced to wake up with external force, I'm afraid it will damage his consciousness."
Xue Ning said: "Since Qin Huaichu came here, I think he must have brought Miss Linlang's body in."
However, Han Lingguang rummaged through Qin Huaichu's mustard bag and found no bones.
"Linlang's body is not on my cousin's body."
Han Lingguang and Heping Xiu couldn't help but look at the ancestral temple in the distance. They both said in unison: "Is it true that only the Ye Red Fox tribe can enter the ancestral temple? Maybe they were brought into the ancestral temple by others."
Xue Ning frowned, he was really fed up with the tacit understanding between these two people.
He couldn't help but pull Pingxiu, forcefully inserted himself between the two of them, and said: "Instead of making guesses here, it is better to go directly to the ancestral temple and find out."
After finishing speaking, he took Pingxiu and left.
He was pulled back by Pingxiu again.
"Wrong...the ancestral temple goes in this direction."
Xue Ning became angry: "I know, I don't need you to remind me."
Pingxiu:......
Okay, see through it but don’t tell it off.
After Han Lingguang found a hidden place to hide Qin Huaichu, the three of them rushed to the ancestral temple. After a while, they arrived at the magnificent white stone building.
The protective formation on the outer layer of the ancestral temple was of the same origin as the formation passed down from Han family's ancestors. Han Lingguang successfully broke through the outer formation with a little effort.
The three of them entered the ancestral temple, but they saw gray fog in their eyes. They didn't know whether it was a fog barrier set up by someone, or whether it was that way.
The three of them were afraid of being separated in the fog barrier, so Xue Ning weaved a piece of natal spider silk and handed it to Han Lingguang and Heping Xiu. The three of them walked forward together holding the spider silk.
Han Lingguang, who had the highest level of cultivation, took the lead and was responsible for leading the charge.
Ping Xiu came second, and Xue Ning insisted on taking the rear seat.
But after a while, Xue Ning quietly moved forward a few steps and took Ping Xiu's hand from behind.
Fortunately, the fog barrier was so thick that one step away could not clearly see the appearance of his companions, so Xue Ning was able to hide his "ugly look" with red face and hot ears.
He didn't say anything, so Pingxiu understood it and didn't press.
I don’t know how long I walked forward, but suddenly there was a faint light shining through the fog.
Pingxiu asked: "Is the one in front of you the ancestor's spiritual tablet enshrined by the Wild Red Fox clan for generations?"
Han Lingguang had never been to the ancestral temple, but when he saw the resemblance, he said, "There is some resemblance."
"Will the so-called ancestor bones be placed together with the spiritual tablets?"
"It's possible, let's go and have a look."
However, Xue Ning reminded aloud at this moment: "There are many magic circles around the temple, and there are so many agencies in the temple. I'm afraid it's not just to prevent outsiders, we must be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pingxiu suddenly let out a low cry.
Xue Ning immediately felt Pingxiu's body falling down.
Almost without thinking, he released a spider silk with one hand and wrapped it around Han Lingguang in front of him. He rushed towards Pingxiu and held her waist.
"Pull us up!"
He wanted to use Han Lingguang's power to escape the trap, but Han Lingguang encountered some trouble and did not respond to him.
Pingxiu's feet were caught by something unknown, and a huge force dragged her down.
Xue Ning didn't dare to let go of her, and the two of them were instantly dragged underground.
There was a loud bang.
The floor of the ancestral temple suddenly closed above their heads.
Xue Ning held Pingxiu in his arms and protected her with his body.
The two of them were pulled by the mysterious force and slid in the rugged tunnel for a long time before slowly coming to a stop.
Pingxiu was protected very well by Xue Ning, but she didn't get much scratches. Xue Ning's condition was not that good.
"Are you hurt?"
Pingxiu shook her head slowly, and suddenly remembered that Xue Ning couldn't see it, so she answered in a low voice: "No."
She put her hands on both sides of Xue Ning and was about to get up from him when she suddenly heard a "dong" sound, like the sound of something falling into a deep abyss and hitting the bottom.
The two of them were shocked, and then realized that they had not fallen to the bottom, but were hanging on the edge of the entrance to the abyss.
It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen.
No one is sure if he moves casually, he will fall into the abyss and be unable to get out.
Xue Ning pressed Pingxiu's vest, pushed her back into his arms, and said nervously: "Don't move, it's dangerous."
Pingxiu clung to his arms obediently and suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she felt the boy's solid chest.
She whispered: "The one I just knocked down seemed to be a skull."
This proves that people have fallen off before.
Moreover, the man did not escape and was trapped to death under the ancestral temple.
