Spiritual Masters

Itchy, he squinted his eyes and said lazily: "I'm more worried about your body, probably you haven't fully recovered yet?"

"nothing."

Chi Sheng nodded: "Then let's go and find out."

"Okay." Ning Jiusi's expression softened.

69. The Demon Realm ([-])

Zhurong's cloud environment is far away from the human world. Even on the plains tens of miles away, you can see the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds. It is even better than Qingquan Mountain.

Although there are no cities and towns within a hundred miles, and no one lives there, there is no sense of desolation in the vicinity. The surrounding mountains are blessed by Zhu Rong, and the plants will not wither, making this a fairyland to hide from the world.

But in such a territory, there is a mountain, strictly speaking, it is not considered a mountain, because there is only half of it, and the decayed one is incompatible with this place.

This mountain must have suffered some kind of disaster, it was forcibly split into two halves, and the mountain collapsed on both sides, forming the current tilted situation.

From the foot of the mountain, it is a big slope, with no way to go and it is difficult to walk. There are graves everywhere on the hillside, as well as stone tablets that have been washed away.

The trees in the mountain had no signs of life, their arms were as dry as mummies, and the ground they stepped on was scorched black, as if it had been burned by a fire. There was an imperceptible stench in the air, like the smell of rotting human flesh.

The crows gathered on the branches that would break at any time, squawking with their eyes wide open. The hoarse voice made people want to cover their ears.

The end of the cliff is high and steep, and the bottom of the cliff is filled with thick black mist, making it difficult to see the situation below.The dark clouds with lightning covered the entire cliff from the light, and the rumbling thunder made the place even more gloomy.

"Crack-"

The sound of a branch being stepped on and broken echoed in my ears. I was concentrating on observing the people around me, and all of them turned my attention to the person who made the movement.

Chi Sheng raised his foot and smiled awkwardly: "Mistake, mistake."

"Be careful." Ning Jiusi took two steps towards him, but his eyes were still looking around.

Chi Sheng responded and followed obediently.This dilapidated place is very strange, it was clear that the sky was bright and the sun was shining outside, but when we entered here, it was covered with dark clouds, and we walked for a long time, not to mention monsters, without even seeing a shadow, and the crows were screaming loudly along the way.

All the way to the edge of the cliff, I didn't notice anything weird. There was some evil smell but not strong. As for the evil spirit, I didn't notice it for a long time.

The crow on the tree above his head tilted his neck, stared and screamed desperately, making Chi Sheng's head buzz. He turned his head and bared his teeth fiercely at the crow, and the crowing stopped abruptly.

The four eyes met for a moment, and Chi Sheng was about to turn his head contentedly, when he saw the crow opened its mouth and screamed even more fiercely, not only screaming itself, but also inciting his compatriots to scream together.

"Dumb-dumb-"

"..."

Chi Sheng really didn't want to disturb everyone's thoughts at this time, but he felt that if he didn't solve these broken birds, he would die here in pain.

With a cold face, he fell behind the two of them, approached the crow calmly, then grabbed the crow's neck as fast as he could, blocking its cry back into his throat.

As he was walking, Ning Jiusi turned his head and saw that the person beside him had disappeared, so he hurriedly turned his head to look for it, and at a glance he saw the person standing beside the dead tree with a stern face and cold air all over his body, with his white hands pinching the crow's black feathers .He probably guessed the reason, and said helplessly, "Don't stay too far away."

"En." Chi Sheng waved away the broken bird that was trying to peck his arm to save his companion, and chased after Ning Jiusi with the crow that could only stare.

They have already walked halfway through the mountain, and there are similar scenes everywhere, with dead trees and grass, nothing to see.

Chi Sheng pinched the crow's palms and sweated, and wet the feathers around its neck.

He moved his fingers to breathe, he would rather die of heat than noise, let alone let his other hand sweat too.

Ning Jiusi noticed his small movements, opened his fingers, took the crow and threw it aside calmly, smashing up a layer of soil.

Chi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said hehe: "Where are Shuangying and the others?"

Tang Yuan looked a little dignified, and she shook her head: "We separated at the foot of the mountain. The two of them went up the mountain at that time, but they have searched halfway around the mountain, but they still can't be seen. Could it be that they have already gone down?"

Ning Jiusi pointed to the place on the right that he hadn't been to before: "Go over there first, and go down the mountain if there is no trace."

"Yes."

There is nothing special found on the right side, there are obviously weird things everywhere, but I can't find the reason, the dead wood is not evil, it seems to be a natural disaster, and the crow is not a sign.

Chi Sheng sighed in frustration: "Could it be that we didn't look carefully enough?"

"I didn't notice." Ning Jiusi walked down the mountain after finishing speaking, without staying for a moment.

When passing by the wooden house, he took a second look. The houses here are not big, and a family can accommodate up to three people. There is no farmland around, and there is only a well in the center.

Chi Sheng sensed the other party's intentions, and casually glanced at it from the corner of his eye: "What's the problem?"

"I didn't notice it." Ning Jiusi withdrew his gaze and responded lightly: "There are no people living around Zhu Rong, so let's take a look if you are curious."

Chi Sheng nodded half-understood, and he took another look at these rooms.When I came here, I heard Tang Yuan said about Zhurong. Although there is no town, it does not mean that there is no place for people to live. On the contrary, both the air and the scenery here are excellent. If someone came here to live here, it would make sense .

He asked casually: "Since you can perceive the vicinity of Zhu Rong, why do you not know the mountains here?"

Tangyuan's expression changed when she heard the words: "It's not the master——"

"I'm too conceited." Ning Jiu raised his hand to signal the glutinous rice balls, and he shook his head: "I can't fully perceive everything in Zhu Rong's territory, and if my ability is unstable, I can't perceive it."

Chi Sheng was sensitive to emotions. Although Ning Jiusi didn't overreact and his tone was still so flat, he still noticed the change in the man's eyes.

Unintentionally speaking casually, it made the atmosphere heavy, and his mood also fell down. He was depressed and blamed himself, and he puffed up his cheeks for a long time but didn't say a word.

Usually he can talk quite well, but when he really provokes people to poke people's hearts, it's as if his mouth is sealed, and he can't even breathe.

"It has nothing to do with you." Ning Jiusi patted off the ashes that came from nowhere on his shoulders.

Chi Sheng shook his head, and hastily defended himself just now: "You are already very powerful. You only rely on your own ability for a radius of a hundred miles. Qingquan Mountain has to rely on the ancestors in the main hall to perceive a hundred miles. Hundreds of people can say it hundreds of miles away. I find it embarrassing, and this thing, I feel that Qingquan Mountain has never been effective, so...you are the best!"

Tangyuan added with a wooden face: "The enchantment perception of Qingquan Mountain was also set by the master, but it was not using his own ability, but the perception of the past lords, the spiritual veins in power and the clear water mirror in the main hall, so only the spiritual veins blend. Only those who have experienced it can perceive it.”

"..."

Well, flattering hits the horse's leg, it's better to be a mute.

Chi Sheng touched his head in embarrassment: "Oh, no wonder I can't sense it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Perception is not a good thing." With a smile on the corner of Ning Jiusi's mouth, he paused and said, "Thank you."

Is this thanking me?Thank you for making a mistake, or thank you for your heart!

Just as Chi Sheng wanted to ask a few smug questions, he saw that the man had already walked down the mountain, and he didn't intend to wait for him at all. He probably didn't say such a thing, so he was ashamed. He was overjoyed, so cute.

The light returned immediately after leaving the mountain, Chi Sheng squinted his eyes under the light, and he asked lazily, "Then where are we going now?"

Ning Jiusi didn't answer, his eyes flickered while looking around, he took two steps to the left and lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you coming out yet?"

Before he finished speaking, three people appeared in front of him, staring with big eyes like a stack of arhats, and no one spoke first.

In the end, it was Chi Sheng who broke the eye contact between the four of them. To be precise, it was Ning Jiusi who communicated with the three of them alone. After all, the postures of the three of them couldn't communicate with each other's eyes at all.

"Shuangying, shortbread!" He saw Shuangying at the bottom and the shortbread sandwiched in the middle at a glance, and the slightly kind... man on the top must be Wuren.

Shortbread hurriedly pushed his head away from the person above, jumped to the side of Ning Jiusi and grabbed his leg: "Fool, why are you still here?"

"..." He almost forgot that the account hadn't been settled yet, he sneered just as he was about to threaten, then he remembered what happened last time, and quickly softened: "I miss you."

Wuren pinched Shuangying's arm, and he frantically winked at her, as if he had some kind of illness.

Shuangying was much calmer, but he still had a cold face. When he bowed to Ning Jiusi, he was stretched by Wu Ren and almost fell to his knees. He tried to restrain his anger and said, "Master."

Wuren came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted perfunctorily: "Master!"

"..." Ning Jiusi raised his eyelids, frightened by the voice.He moved his legs tightly held by the shortbread and said, "Who made you come out of Zhurong?"

Shortbread had expected this reaction, she didn't let go, and said angrily: "You always don't take me, I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"Nonsense." Ning Jiusi frowned, and he reached out to grab the shortbread: "Zhu Rong can't be left alone, go back."

Chi Sheng took a look, and when the shortbread heard this, she pursed her mouth and wanted to cry. The cute face was wrinkled to make people feel sorry for her.He quickly took Ning Jiusi's hand, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Little hands are so slippery."

Everyone: "..."

Ning Jiusi gave a faint "hmm" and let the
