lead fades away

Qingshi found a wooden box, put the jade on the ground into the box with the object control technique, and then cast a soil covering technique on the ground to bury the broken blade, storage bag and a pool of blood in the ground, and then A wood-type green seedling technique was applied to regenerate the weeds on the surface.After finishing all this, Qingshi began to recycle his formation disk and formation flag, and then put the formation disk and formation flag back into the storage bag specially prepared for this trial, and stuffed the wooden box into the storage ring on his hand.

After everything was tidied up, Qing Shi looked contentedly at the woods where there were no traces left, turned around and walked to the temple that he had seen when going back and forth, and did not continue to follow Xinyi.There are only three things, he has already killed two, and he really has no interest in killing the third one.If She Ji or someone other than She Ji has prepared a third move, then he just waits for the move.

Qing Shi quickly left the forest, walked back to the branch of the river along the river, and then walked along the branch to the temple not far away.

The tributary of the river is hidden underground near the palace, and there is no wall around it, but a circle of green pool water between the lake and the pond surrounds the entire palace, and all the white stone steps entering and leaving the palace are also submerged by the green pool water. It is difficult to say whether it is a natural or artificial gully barrier.

At this time, the sky was dark, but there was no moon in the sky, only a little bit of starlight.Qingshi doesn't know what kind of emptiness the Wuxia Wonderland is, so he has no way of judging whether the stars in the sky are the reflection of the outside world or the illusion of the emptiness realm itself.However, the speed of time passing here should be the same as that of the outside world, otherwise Xian Trumen would not calculate the trial time in units of "days".

The dark night was the best cover, Qing Shi just restrained his breath, and then walked straight to the edge of the pool.

——This is not water, or rather, not pure water.

Before touching the pool water, Qingshi's skin could already feel the unbalanced fluctuations of spiritual power in it—no matter how strong the spiritual energy contained in the water would be, it would not produce such a sharp touch like a blade, but it was like some kind of prohibition on the guise of water. A phantom formation formed by appearances.

——No, not just prohibition.

Qing Shi moved his nose, and soon smelled a fishy smell from the pool that looked like clear water.

——It’s a beast.

Qingshi hesitated for a moment, but curiosity quickly gained the upper hand, so he completely opened up his five senses, gathered his spiritual power in his eyes, and looked intently into the "pool water".

Sure enough, the underwater was ethereal, with no aquatic plants or swimming fish, only strands of spiritual energy that came from nowhere and drifted slowly along the established track.

Qing Shi carefully observed the trajectory of the aura, and suddenly felt that it was very familiar, but before he could figure out where he had seen it, a pair of golden eyes suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Who is it?" For a moment, Qingshi seemed to hear a voice asking such a question.

"Are you asking me?" Qing Shi asked subconsciously.

There was no reply to the voice, and those golden eyes suddenly disappeared into Qing Shi's eyes with a hint of surprise.

Qingshi couldn't help being stunned. Due to the interference of the prohibition, he didn't even see the body that those eyes were attached to clearly. He only vaguely felt the scales and sharp claws, and his figure didn't seem huge.

- What is it?

Qingshi thought of several similar spirit beasts at once, but felt that they were all somewhat plausible.Immediately afterwards, Qingshi remembered why he was familiar with the movement of spiritual energy—this was exactly the same as the restriction in Han Shuo's cave, even if it was not written by the same person, it was passed down from the same master Routine.

What is the relationship between the Wuxia Wonderland and Han Shuo's cave?Qing Shi felt that he could ask Han Shuo when he went back.But that would be nine days later, and what he had to do now was to use the remaining time to break the restriction in front of him. Even if he couldn't break it, he had to copy it all and take it out for careful study.

Having found the target, Qingshi immediately geared up, full of energy.

When people get busy, time passes unnoticed, and when Qing Shi finally got a clue, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to count the days.

- Today is the first day, shouldn't it be the last day?

Qing Shi found helplessly that the missing engraved sundial, which he never cared about on weekdays, is also useful, such as now.

"It should be two or three days." Qing Shi muttered to himself, hesitating whether to go to the teleportation circle first, but suddenly there was an answer in his ear——

"No, it's one day and eight hours."

Qing Shi couldn't help turning his head to look into the "pool water", and sure enough, those golden eyes appeared behind the pool water again.

Qing Shi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and waved his right hand, "Hi—"

The eyes did not disappear, but they also did not respond to Qing Shi's greeting.

Qing Shi withdrew his hand in embarrassment, touched his nose, and quickly continued to ask unwillingly, "Don't you want to ask who I am? I can tell you, do you want to listen?"

"...Can you really understand me?" The golden-eyed beast finally responded.

"What's so strange, you can understand me, why can't I understand you, don't you speak human language?" Qing Shi burst out laughing.

"What I said is indeed not human." The beast replied very seriously.

Qing Shi's smile froze.

"I can understand human language, but I can't speak human language yet." The beast continued, "So, it's really strange that you can understand."

"Really? Haha!" Qing Shi laughed twice.

"It seems that you don't want to tell me why you can understand me." The beast said to itself.

"You didn't tell me who you are, and why you are here." Qing Shi immediately replied forcefully.

"If you want to hear it, I can say it, but..." The beast was negotiating with Qing Shi in a bargaining tone, but suddenly stopped, changing his tone into disgust, "Let's talk about this issue later, The nasty guy is here again, I want to hide for a while, and you - the same, right?"

"That's right." Qing Shi nodded, he also heard the sound of the imperial weapon flying through the sky, and the sound was a little familiar.

The ferocious beast shrank back to the depths of the restriction, and Qingshi also quickly hid in the shadow behind a strange stone by the pool, where he set up a concealment magic circle, placed in it and combined with the breath restraint technique, even the Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to escape. Want to discover his existence with divine consciousness.

I don’t know if there are missions related to this temple in the stewardship hall. In short, during the few days when Qingshimao was studying the prohibition here, I saw people coming here almost every day. Most of them just glanced at it. Go, a few have tried to enter, but without exception, there is no exit.Qingshi set up the hidden magic circle just to avoid being disturbed by these people when deducing the formation map, but it was this magic circle that made him forget to count the time. Fortunately, he recovered in time, otherwise he would really kill himself die.

As soon as Qingshi hid here, two young male cultivators fell from the sky, a young man in the foundation building period, and a young man in the Qi refining period, and the young man in the Qi refining period held a small snow-white beast in his arms.

——It’s really lingering!

Qingshi couldn't help feeling annoyed, but immediately began to wonder how the two found him, and it was after so many days.However, the next actions of the two people soon made Qingshi understand what it means to be passionate.

——They didn't come to look for him at all!

The young man in the foundation building period took things out of his storage bag as soon as he landed, and soon set up a simple altar by the pool, and then filled the altar with fresh spiritual fruits and boned spirits. animal meat.Wang Xiaobo, who was with him, stood aside, constantly comforting the obviously restless little beast in his arms.

After arranging the sacrifices on the altar, the young man took a few steps back, took out a piccolo from his pocket, and played it slowly.

——What is this blowing about?

The music played by the young man gave Qing Shi a strange feeling of being cut and scraped out of nowhere, and he was so frightened that he immediately closed his hearing. It was not until the young man put down the piccolo that he pricked up his ears again.

"Did you hear anything special?" The young man asked Wang Xiaobo beside him.

"No, but Huanhuan is very scared. When you played the flute, it almost cried." Wang Xiaobo pouted, "There may really be a spirit beast down here—uh, it doesn't have to be a spirit beast. If Huan is so frightened, it might be some kind of ferocious beast."

"You Huanhuan is too timid, my master's mount Qingfei can scare it." The young man smiled disapprovingly, then patted Wang Xiaobo on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Don't be afraid, I will live here every year." Alright, even if the one below is a ferocious beast, it will definitely not eat people."

"Although it doesn't eat you, it may not eat me either." Wang Xiaobo shook his head vigorously.

"Isn't there still me? Come closer and try. As long as I can show that guy, I will go to Master to ask for credit for you." The young man continued to persuade.

Wang Xiaobo seemed to be moved, and timidly took a few steps forward, but the little beast in his arms immediately struggled violently, so frightened that he also stopped quickly, and turned back to look at the young man in horror, "No No, Huanhuan said that it will die if it passes by!"

"So serious?" The young man was a little surprised.

"Senior Brother Xia, Huanhuan... Huanhuan is afraid!" Wang Xiaobo was already a little incoherent, holding the little beast in his arms nervously, neither entering nor retreating, and soon burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." The young man called Brother Xia hurriedly pulled Wang Xiaobo back, ignoring the altar and sacrifices on the ground, and took Wang Xiaobo to his spiritual weapon, Fly away.

It's just that although these two people flew into the sky, they didn't really leave, they still hovered in the air and looked down from a distance.

——Here comes this set again!

Qing Shi who was watching the fun couldn't help curling his lips.However, the title Senior Brother Xia reminded him of the identity of the young man——Xia Yuchuan, a disciple of Zhenjun Hengchu.Back then when he was chosen by Zhenjun Hengchu as a disciple, it caused a lot of uproar, but since then, he has never heard from him, and he has never been seen in Wufeng or Neishan. The initial uproar quickly disappeared The smoke disappeared, and even he was left behind by everyone.

If they don't leave, it's inconvenient for them to go out. Fortunately, the stone where he is hiding is by the pool, and he can talk to the beast below by turning his head. With such a long distance, it is impossible for Xia Yuchuan and Wang Xiaobo above to hear him. See.

"They haven't left yet, don't come out in a hurry." Qing Shi reminded the beast.

"I know." The ferocious beast's tone was very contemptuous, "It's obvious that it wants to trick me out and arrest me, and the same routine has to be done every year, it's so boring."

"Every year? Is it him every year?" Qing Shi asked casually.

"It's been him in recent years, but it was someone else before." Maybe it's rare to meet someone who can communicate, and the beast almost answers every question, "I don't know how they know I'm here, but even I am You want to lure me out without understanding anything, you are really very courageous."

"This emptiness realm—you know you are in the emptiness realm right now?" Qing Shi asked.

"Of course I know. I personally watched my master make this Void Mistral Realm bit by bit." The fierce beast replied.

"Master? Do you have a master?" Qing Shi was a little surprised.

"Without a master, how could I, an ancient spirit beast with enlightened wisdom, get into the void and trap myself?" The fierce beast asked disdainfully.

"It's also possible that they were caught in a hurry." Qing Shi said, and then suddenly clapped his hands again, "Wait, trapped? Trapped! Ahhhhh!"

"What's your ghost name?" The beast asked dissatisfied.

"I finally figured out why the formation map was set there. It turned out that it wasn't a decoration or superfluous, and it was really useful!" Qing Shi said, turning his head to look at the pool where the beast was, "However, in this way If you don’t want to get out, it’s not because you don’t want to be captured by them, but because you can’t get out at all, right?”

"……Humph!"

"Don't hum, I didn't make fun of you." Qing Shi said hastily, "What's the matter with your master? Did he ascend or sit down? Why do you keep you here so well?"

"Ascended." When this topic was mentioned, the tone of the beast suddenly became depressed, "At that time, I had just developed my spiritual wisdom, and my cultivation level was almost the same as that of a monk in the foundation establishment period. He could not take me to ascend together, so he could only leave me behind it's here."

"He won't promise to come back to pick you up in the future, will he?" Qing Shi sneered.

"How do you know?" The beast was surprised.

"You can guess it with your toes." Qing Shi said, "If your master hadn't made some promises that you couldn't bear to part with, how could you have stayed here for so long? Don't say anything about restrictions. If you need spiritual support, it may be too difficult to break the restriction, but it is not that troublesome to cut off its source of spiritual power. Even I, who have only been here for a few days, can understand the direction of the following spiritual veins, let alone you Waited for thousands of years? By the way, do you really plan to wait for him to pick you up?"

"He has never lost his word to me." The beast said.

"You never thought that he might fail to ascend and die?" Qing Shi asked.

"I watched him ascend with my own eyes, and then I entered here to guard the cave for him." The beast said stubbornly.

"Well, I won't play around with you anymore." Qing Shi shrugged helplessly, "In short, believe it or not, it is impossible for him to come back to pick you up. Ascension is actually no different from death. The similarity is - as long as you succeed, don't even think about coming back."

"..." The beast fell silent.

Qing Shi gave it a blow in satisfaction, and then added, "Of course, there are differences between the two. It is absolutely impossible for the dead guy to see you again, but as for the ascended person, although he can't come back to see you, you can. Go up to see him—as long as you have enough cultivation, you can ascend to the fairy world by yourself!"

"What you said is true?" The beast hesitated.

"I told you, believe it or not." Qingshi shrugged nonchalantly, "But then again, what's the good of me lying to you? Oh, they finally left."

While one person and one beast were chatting, the watcher in the sky finally lost his patience and flew to another place with a spiritual weapon.Qingshi also walked out from the magic circle behind the stone, stood by the pool, and looked down at the pair of golden eyes below.

"Hey, show your head and let me see what you are." Qing Shi said.

"Don't be scared." With a warning, the beast finally surfaced "from the water", revealing its body in front of Qing Shi's eyes.As Qingshi spied before, it looks like a unicorn at first glance, but it is small in size, with golden armor and golden hair and golden eyes, but the whole body is dark in color.

"It turned out to be Yan!" Seeing the whole picture of the beast, Qing Shi was very surprised.

"As expected of someone who can understand the words of ancient beasts, he really knows me." There was no expression on the fierce beast's face, "I have met people before, and they all mistook me for a unicorn, really hateful."

"The Qilin is also your relative, so it's normal to be wrong." Qingshi said, but he had other thoughts in his heart, "By the way, since you have a master, you must also have a name, what is it called?"

"Wangshuo." The beast replied.

"Suo of the new moon?" Qingshi couldn't help blinking—isn't it, such a coincidence?

"Exactly." The beast nodded.

"What a coincidence, I am now... er, I am serving... Forget it, you just think that I also have a master, and my master's name also has the word "Shuo", and the sword he uses is also called 犼, Longya 犼.”

"Long and Yu shouldn't appear in the same name." Wang Shuo looked a little displeased.

"The upper realm doesn't even have dragons now, so there's no need to be so particular about it." Qing Shi curled his lips and said, "However, it's really a coincidence, you know, there is such a restriction in the place where my master lives. This prohibition is almost exactly the same."

"Maybe it's not a coincidence." Wang Shuo said.

"Ah?" Qing Shi couldn't help but startled.

"I felt it when you came. You have a ray of my master's consciousness on you." Wang Shuo said, "If I hadn't felt this ray of consciousness, I wouldn't have uttered a word. get in a word."

"Spiritual consciousness?" Qing Shi tilted his head, and quickly took out the identity jade badge Han Shuo gave him, "It can't be this?"

"Well, the master's consciousness is here." Wang Shuo nodded immediately.

"But there should only be the consciousness of my elder Han." Qing Shi doubted.In order to break the restriction of the cave mansion, he has checked this jade card many times.

"My master is best at hiding things. If I guess right, this jade tablet is engraved into a formation, and the master's consciousness should be hidden in this formation." Wang Shuo said.

Qing Shi couldn't help touching his nose.The status jade badges in the gate were all made by the disciples when they first started, and Han Shuo was only a few hundred years old, and there was no precedent for Xian Chumen to change the status jade badges halfway, so it is hard to see that this one is the most similar to Han Shuo's. A jade tablet of the same age as Shuo would have something to do with Wang Shuo's owner—isn't the difference too far?However, right now is not the time to argue about this, it is serious to abduct this idiot first, and everything else can be postponed for another discussion.

"It seems that your master and my master have some connections." Qing Shi said casually, but suddenly his voice changed, "Do you want to meet him?"

Wang Shuo seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay."
