Cultivation System Lv.2

Qiu Muyun glanced at Lu Xiuchen, obviously meaning "why ask if you know the result".

Lu Xiuchen frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "I always think that weird place will put you in danger."

Moreover, when the black smoke worm appeared in the past, it did not have much impact on him and Cheng Yan, but Qiu Muyun had to give up Helian's body, and could only exist in the form of a spirit body.Maybe that thing can restrain or hurt Qiu Muyun?

"That's because there was a problem with the host itself last time, but now this one is 'fresh'. And I didn't say I want to go alone. What are you worried about?" Qiu Muyun felt that the situation between the two of them was not bad. It's not that danger is everywhere, at most it's stormy, so there's no need for Lu Xiuchen to be so worried.

What's more, for monks, how could it be possible to explore unknown secret places without any risk at all.

"But my intuition has never been wrong, and now it makes me think that bad things are likely to happen if you go there." Lu Xiuchen frowned even tighter.

"My intuition didn't miss it." Qiu Muyun glanced sideways at Lu Xiuchen, "And it made me feel that as long as we go to that secret realm, this series of messy things will have a breakthrough."

In fact, advanced monks will have a natural alertness to dangers involving themselves.Some of them have particularly effective intuition, Qiu Muyun thinks this is a kind of talent, and he is one of the monks with this mysterious talent.

"But..." Lu Xiuchen still felt something was wrong.

Qiu Muyun didn't wait for Lu Xiuchen to finish, and directly wiped away the traces of the young man's self-explosion, leaving a large bare depression, then raised his sword again, and said without looking back: "Let's go to Anfeng City, now The most important thing is to understand what has happened during our 60-odd years of retreat."

Facing Qiu Muyun's abrupt change of subject again, Lu Xiuchen secretly sighed, and followed Qiu Muyun's figure silently with his sword.

The two were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was strangely indifferent.

Lu Xiuchen felt that Qiu Muyun could not be so disregarding his own safety and risking himself, he didn't want to hold anyone's corpse anymore.

Qiu Muyun thought that Lu Xiuchen made a fuss out of a molehill, so how could things be accomplished with such anticipation?And what they are facing is a terrifying conspiracy that has been lurking in the Qishui Realm for hundreds or even thousands of years. How can they make a breakthrough step by step.

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Qiu Muyun at all. If it wasn't for Lu Xiuchen, would he take the initiative to find out those messy things?He is not like Lu Xiuchen who wants to get to the bottom of everything.

If it wasn't for Lu Xiuchen, he wanted to find out what was going on from the bottom of his heart.For Qiu Muyun, the best course of action should be for the two of them to completely hide in the mortal world, spend hundreds of years arranging a safe place to cross the catastrophe, and simply ascend to the fairy world, regardless of the Seven Water Realm Is it a flood or a catastrophe.

But now he wanted to find out everything because of Lu Xiuchen, and Lu Xiuchen still complained that he didn't care about his own safety?

If Lu Xiuchen really cared about his safety, he should have agreed when he proposed to retire.Instead of trying to figure out everything without taking risks like now.How can there be such a good thing in the world, the result of wanting everything, but in the end you can only get nothing.

The more Qiu Muyun thought about it, the more depressed he became, the dark purple flying sword under his feet gradually glowed with a slight electric glow, and the speed of Yujian unknowingly increased to the extreme.

"..." Lu Xiuchen pursed his lips, and the phantom with azure light condensed into blue wings flashed away, and suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Muyun almost as if teleported.

Before bumping into Lu Xiuchen's arms, Qiu Muyun barely stopped, snorted coldly, glanced at Lu Xiuchen, then turned his head away from him.

Lu Xiuchen looked at Qiu Muyun, as if he wanted to gaze at his soul through a strange body, and after a while, he said helplessly, "How can you always weigh gains and losses so rationally."

"I never know when 'reason' is wrong?" Qiu Muyun raised his eyebrows high.

"Of course reason can't be wrong, but sometimes..." Lu Xiuchen hesitated to speak, but the link between the two still allowed Qiu Muyun to "hear" Lu Xiuchen's unfinished words.

Qiu Muyun was stunned for a moment, turned his gaze back, blinked his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "You think I don't like you enough? When I was racking my brains to make you survive the catastrophe, did you But you think I don't like you enough?"

"Yes, I don't like you enough." Qiu Muyun's eyes became colder, "But I want you to live and ascend to the fairy world alive. After solving these messy things, there will be time for me to like you slowly. But now..."

Since traveling to this strange world, it was the first time for Qiu Muyun to really put another person's affairs above her own needs, but the other person actually felt that he still didn't like him enough.

Yes, his love for Lu Xiuchen is certainly not as much as Lu Xiuchen's love for him.

But isn't this a matter of course? They haven't gotten along well at all.The link was accidentally formed because of the bond of cause and effect. They may really be suitable partners for each other, but time has not yet turned those initial good feelings into deep-seated love.

What's more, Qiu Muyun felt that his attitude was normal, and Lu Xiuchen's obsession with him was incomprehensible.

"No..." Realizing that Qiu Muyun was thinking more and more sideways, Lu Xiuchen stepped forward to hold Qiu Muyun's hand.

The moment the fingertips of the two touched lightly, black awns suddenly emerged from the silver thread.Noticing this strange phenomenon, the two were slightly startled, and their interlaced fingers clenched even harder.

After about half an hour, the silver link returned to normal, and its color seemed purer and brighter than before.

"..." Qiu Muyun frowned, most of the coldness in his eyes faded away, and the annoyance disappeared in a flash.

"I'm sorry." Lu Xiuchen squeezed Qiu Muyun's fingertips slightly.

He didn't think that Qiu Muyun didn't like him enough, in fact, he liked Qiu Muyun's rational and decisive attitude very much.It's just that he attaches too much importance to Qiu Muyun and always lacks a sense of security, so he is too nervous about Qiu Muyun's safety.

What's more, Qiu Muyun really "left" too many times, and Lu Xiuchen didn't want to be left behind.

He can face the catastrophe of narrow escape by himself, but he doesn't want Qiu Muyun to take the risk for him.Of course, he can feel Qiu Muyun's affection for him, but this is unavoidable for anyone, and it is a worry that can never be appeased for the one he loves.

Even if you know that he can protect yourself, knowing that he is very powerful may far exceed your imagination.But if he loves him, he will subconsciously want to protect him, hope that he can stay in a safe place without any harm, hope that he can stay away from all pain and worries, and get all the best things in the world.

Because too much attention is paid to it, the sensibility will overwhelm the ideal, and it will be indecisive and indecisive.

"They said they went together, so what do you want?" Qiu Muyun curled his lips, and he also realized that his thoughts just now were a bit extreme, and he had misunderstood Lu Xiuchen.

But regardless of the influence of the strange black smoke or not, Qiu Muyun didn't quite agree with Lu Xiuchen's excessive worry.However, the blending of minds and spirits after contact can make people understand each other's thoughts better than the simple emotional transmission between links.

"I didn't think about it, but you can't just follow this clue and run into that weird secret realm without preparing anything and investigating." Lu Xiuchen glanced at the link that returned to normal, and continued: "And the weird black Isn't smoke really something that can restrain you?"

"Of course not. Although that thing will be contaminated unconsciously, the link seems to be able to purify it." Qiu Muyun didn't think there would be any weakness in his current mode of existence, "By the way, when you hit the tribulation stage, The black smoke also appeared. You have been delayed in Demon Pass for so long, but what unusual things happened to you?"

"Huh? It was there then?" Lu Xiuchen frowned. If it was there then, is this another ability of Black Smoke?Shake the mood and expand negative emotions?Push people to extremes?

The demons he encountered during his assault on the tribulation were indeed different from the past. The demons were not luring him to degenerate and testing whether his Dao heart was firm, but trying to force him into madness.

But he has already experienced the heart-burning demon fire in Qiu Muyun's hands, and in reality he has seen Qiu Muyun "die" in his arms several times, so although the method of the heart demon was unexpected, it was not. really affect him.

"The black smoke is not simple, but I'm not a reckless person either. How could you think that I'm not prepared for anything, and I'll go to explore a completely unknown secret place." Even if you admit that Lu Xiuchen's worry is because you care too much about him, Qiu Mu Yun also couldn't accept that Lu Xiuchen underestimated him.

"Because when you were Luo Lingxi, you signed a guardian contract with me when we met for the first time, and finally died suddenly in front of me. Then you changed your body and grabbed me suddenly, and you are completely angering me again. After that, without any resistance, I let myself die in my hands.

When you used Helian's body, you left Xianpan Island with me without much hesitation. After the link was established, you even thought about it for a while before acquiescing to its existence.Then he was suddenly seriously injured and had to exist in the form of a spirit body.But now... In short, you act too freely..." Although he also likes Qiu Muyun's self-confidence that can do whatever he wants. But for Qiu Muyun who almost does whatever he thinks of, it is really difficult for him Don't worry.

Looking back on the past, Lu Xiuchen sighed, the complicated gaze made Qiu Muyun open his mouth, quite speechless.

"Uh... I'll be more cautious this time." Qiu Muyun pursed his lips, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, he was just such a character.But what he has done, from Lu Xiuchen's point of view, is really... quite subtle.

"En." Lu Xiuchen nodded seriously.

The two looked at each other over the deserted forest, the indifferent atmosphere was no longer there, but Qiu Muyun felt a little complicated in his heart.This was probably the first time they had quarreled, although it could not be considered a quarrel, it could only be said that there was a small dispute.

But this also shows that the personality gap between the two is really not small. They can clearly feel each other's emotions, but they still have misunderstandings.Without this link, they must have parted ways long ago.But since they are together now, they must face up to these problems.

"It's a matter of trust, you have to trust me more." Qiu Muyun looked directly at Lu Xiuchen, suppressing the inexplicable guilt in his heart.Since he has "died" in front of Lu Xiuchen so many times, this issue of trust is really difficult to handle.

"I already trust you enough, this is not a matter of trust." Lu Xiuchen shook his head, as if he was picking the right words, "This is the other side of liking that must be accepted."

"...Okay." On the other side of love, this is just an uncontrollable worry, maybe in the future there will be uncontrollable jealousy, uncontrollable longing, uncontrollable desire for exclusiveness, uncontrollable messy feelings...

Thinking of so many uncontrollable things in the future, Qiu Muyun said dryly: "Let's go to Anfeng City first."

In addition to pretending, he is more used to simple and clear feelings.Although when Lu Xiuchen was not in front of him, he would also worry about whether Lu Xiuchen encountered any accidents again, but when Lu Xiuchen was by his side, he would not think about anything.

"It's just different for each person, you don't need to change anything for me." Lu Xiuchen only hoped that Qiu Muyun could accept him like this, and didn't want Qiu Muyun to have any unnecessary changes.

-

A few days later, outside Anfeng City, Qiu Muyun and Lu Xiuchen who had completely returned to "normal" landed on the main road, moving slowly towards the inner city along the sparse flow of people.

The western desert is vast and sparsely populated, with a lack of resources and a harsh environment. The demon clan forces are the most rampant in this region, and almost all monks who cannot get along in other regions will come to the western desert.Therefore, after thousands of years of chaos in West Desert, after the Five Poison Immortal Sect became dominant, it immediately formed a set of rules unique to this place.

One of them is that private fighting is absolutely not allowed in the main city, and violators will be captured by the patrol envoys of the Five Poison Immortal Sect, and thrown into the Five Poison Cave to become the rations for the Five Poison Spirit Beasts.That's why Qiu Muyun was able to bear Ji Sinian's shell at this moment, and walked leisurely into Anfeng City under the avoidance and strange eyes of most monks.

However, although the Western Desert has such mandatory regulations, the Western Desert is really too big, and the population distribution is very uneven.Therefore, there are less than one hundred places in the entire territory that can be called the main city.The rest of the small towns, tribes formed spontaneously by the gathering of monks, dark markets and other places are not subject to this restriction at all.

So this rule has been implemented to this day, and it has been accepted by everyone, including foreign monks.After all, being able to have such a safe place as the main city in the West Desert, which is full of dangers and tough folk customs, is more beneficial than harmful to everyone.

Of course, entering the main city does not mean absolute safety.This rule only prohibits fighting on the surface, and no one will care about small actions in the dark.As long as you don't disturb the patrol envoys of the Five Poison Immortal Sect, no matter whether you poison or curse, ambush or assassinate, no one will stop you.

So although Qiu Muyun wandered around the city seemingly casually, he was actually always on guard against all the eyes that were cast on him.Half a day later, after confirming that there should be no enemies here, Qiu Muyun turned into a remote alley with satisfaction, stood outside a small shop with a black and unlettered plaque, and asked Lu Xiuchen in a low voice: "Do you have any friends?" The token of the Palace of Thousand Machines?"

"Of course there is, isn't Ji Sinian?" Lu Xiuchen immediately handed out a token.

"He received it, but he confiscated it. And my token..." Qiu Muyun shook his head, but didn't say anything.

Lu Xiuchen knew his thoughts through the link, frowned slightly, and nodded in agreement.

Although Qiu Muyun left a lot of doubts, those clues are not conclusive evidence, and since the other side seems to target his apprentice so much more than Cheng Yan, it means that the other party must have basically confirmed that he is not ascending fact.

And Qiu Muyun thought about it, and felt that the token of the Thousand Machine Palace that he had used earlier was also a huge flaw.So no matter whether there is any problem with Qianji Palace or not, he is not going to use Qiu Muyun's token in the future.

Using Lu Xiuchen's token to touch the outermost restriction, the two walked into the very inconspicuous shop in front of them one after the other, and walked out side by side after a while.

Holding the jade slips of information purchased by spending a lot of spirit stones, Qiu Muyun thought for a while and decided: "Go to Tianlingju under the sect of the Five Poison Immortals."

Rented an independent small courtyard in Tianlingju with spirit stones, activated the prohibition formation that comes with the courtyard, and set up a defensive formation to isolate the spiritual energy, Qiu Muyun and Lu Xiuchen sat on the stone chairs in the courtyard. They sat down facing each other, each picked up a jade slip and looked it up carefully.

After making an appointment for a cup of tea, the two opened their eyes at the same time, their faces were a little dignified, but they did not speak, but immediately exchanged the jade slips in their hands.

The birth of the virtual mirage was the event that had the greatest impact on the monks in the four realms during this period, but besides that, there was another rumor that made the entire Seven Water Realm a little ready to move.

——The birth of the Void Sea Mirage represents that the Void Sea Secret Realm is about to be fully opened, and the original treasure in the ancient legends is in the Void Sea Secret Realm.

"There is no mention of clear water spirit in the rumors, it is only said to be the ultimate treasure." Lu Xiuchen put down the jade slip and looked at Qiu Muyun who was frowning and thinking.

Qiu Muyun nodded, and replied: "It's true, but what is the other party's intention for doing this? And..."

"Huh?" Lu Xiuchen blinked his eyes in doubt, the thoughts in Qiu Muyun's mind flashed so fast that he couldn't distinguish clearly for a moment.

"Moreover, we don't know which side this 'opponent' is." Qiu Muyun held the jade slip, tapped the table lightly, and continued to explain: "If it is the enemy, then they spread such rumors , probably for the future shocks in the depths of the Void Sea, and to pave the way for the words in the Immemorial Order, or to draw out the true owner of the original treasure.

But if it is the rumor spread by Mo Suqing, it is to draw out the hidden forces of the enemy in the Qishui Realm, or he is also looking for the owner of the original treasure. "

"If it's really Mo Suqing, then he must know something that we don't know, and it must be related to the original treasure." Speaking of this, Qiu Muyun clicked his tongue, sighing secretly that the inheritance of the top sect is really true. Never underestimate it.

They only told Mo Suqing the news about the original treasure and these changes before they retreated. Now Mo Suqing has enough cards to spread such rumors and use it to test the situation of the world. This action is really admirable. And startled.

"Do you think this rumor was spread by Sect Leader Mo?" Lu Xiuchen asked uncertainly.

"It's hard to say, but we haven't figured out what the real face of the enemy is at this moment. If it's Mo Suqing, it's obviously more beneficial to you and me, isn't it?" Qiu Muyun asked back.

"That's right." Lu Xiuchen nodded in agreement, and then asked again: "How much do you know about the original treasure? Is there any secret ancient book in the Hanshan sect that records the news of the original treasure?"

If it wasn't for the roll call of the Immemorial Order, Lu Xiuchen would not have known that the water spirit is the ultimate treasure.Before that, he even had doubts about whether the original treasure really existed.But even now, after his rebirth, he has inquired about the source of the treasure in many ways, and also searched for many ancient books, but in the end he only got some plausible legends.

Qiu Muyun recalled a little: "In the ancient books I have read, it is recorded that the original treasure is the first congenital treasure that appeared when the legendary world was born. Among them are those who are in charge of the reincarnation of life and death in the world, and those who are in charge of the circulation of spiritual energy in the world. , there are those who are in charge of the cause and effect of life, and even those who are in charge of time, five elements, yin and yang.

But you said that there are only three original treasures left in the world, so it is naturally impossible to determine whether the records in the ancient books are legends or facts.And I haven't seen in the ancient books that there is any original treasure that can repair the Heaven Sealing Barrier.Besides, what exactly is the Heaven Sealing Barrier, there has never been a clear record in the ancient books.We only know that it is the most important enchantment to protect the overall stability of the Qishuijie, but whether that thing confines us within the Void Sea, or blocks something from the Void Sea, we have no way of knowing. "

"Perhaps Sect Leader Mo knows something." Lu Xiuchen said, thinking that he had accidentally exposed Shenhuang's existence in front of Cheng Yan and Mo Suqing before, and Shenhuang also acquiesced in the fact that Qiu Muyun did not ascend, maybe They can use Qiu Muyun's identity to go directly to Mo Suqing to ask for clarification.

"He must know, but unless my main body can come down, even if he believes that I am Qiu Muyun, he will doubt whether I am controlled by others, or influenced by others, or have other messy problems. In short, he absolutely does not He will easily tell us what he knows." Qiu Muyun said helplessly.

"..." Lu Xiuchen silently put another suspicious label on Mo Suqing's head.

"But no matter what, we have to test it out. At the very least, we can confirm whether he released the rumor." It's just that the method of testing must be carefully considered. Qiu Muyun doesn't want to be caught by Mo Su. Qing caught it, and didn't even want to explain why he didn't ascend.
