Cultivation in the city

Deng Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to follow the choice of Duan Xiaolou's two apprentices.

After all, Dabai and No. 44's respect for Duan Xiaolou on weekdays does not seem to be fake, and the sadness at this moment is even more from the heart.She believed that these two people must be the most familiar with Duan Xiaolou, and their decision might be the most correct.

When Deng Feng and others left, Duan Xiaolou was immersed in Chen Yan's spiritual world.

Different from the bright and hot Duan Xiaolou once imagined, Chen Yan's spiritual world is slightly dark.

Duan Xiaolou followed the darkest passage in Chen Yan's spiritual world, and kept going forward, the passage became darker and darker, from the initial darkness to the darkest.

And Duan Xiaolou's consciousness also continued to dissipate as the darkness struck.

"Hello! Who are you? Why did you appear in this place?" A clear and crisp child voice asked.

Duan Xiaolou woke up in a daze and found himself in a cave.And what made the sound was a group of erratic small flames.

The small flames are reddish orange, and the shape looks a bit like a lotus flower, but the shape is not stable.

"Chen Yan?" Duan Xiaolou called tentatively.

"Who is Chen Yan? There is no Huo with such an ugly name here." After speaking arrogantly, Xiao Huomiao whispered, "The name sounds familiar, but who is it?"

At this time, Duan Xiaolou was basically sure that the little flame that appeared in front of him was Chen Yan himself.

It's just that I don't know why Chen Yan not only degenerated to his current appearance, but also his IQ dropped a lot, becoming like a child.

"Hey! You haven't said who you are yet!" Little Huomiao said unhappily seeing that Duan Xiaolou was distracted.

"My name is Duan Xiaolou." Duan Xiaolou was a little annoyed and a little funny.

Only now did he realize that Chen Yan still had such a childish side.

"Duan Xiaolou, Xiaolou...the name sounds pretty nice. Hmph, for the sake of your nice name, I'll just reluctantly let you be my friend!" Little Huomiao said arrogantly.

"That's really an honor." Duan Xiaolou said with a smile, reaching out his hand by the way, wanting to touch the little flame.

But he didn't expect the other party to move away quickly and said, "You're crazy! I'm hot! I'll burn you!"

Probably because he was worried that his tone was too blunt, Xiao Huomiao added: "You don't know, I am the hottest strand of all the flames here, and the other fires dare not approach me because they are afraid that they will burn themselves. !"

Speaking of this, Xiao Huo Miao's expression became proud, as if she was very proud of her high temperature.

Duan Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about this problem, if it was in the real world, the body of Honglian Yehuo might really burn him, but in this spiritual world, it's a bit hard to say.

"How about, try to see if you can burn this hair of mine?" Duan Xiaolou pulled a hair from his head and said.

Xiao Huomiao's unremarkable facial features showed a suspected expression of contempt, but he did not refute the proposal of Duan Xiaolou, a new friend.

In the middle, the little flame turned into a small hand in an anthropomorphic way. When the little hand touched the hair, it flinched instinctively.

Sure enough, when the hair hit the small flame, it immediately turned to ashes.

Even though he had guessed the result long ago, Little Huo Miao still looked a little frustrated.

Duan Xiaolou thought about it, and it seems that although this is Chen Yan's spiritual world, there are certain rules. These rules may come from Chen Yan's cognition, or they may be inherent in the spiritual world.While the little flame was not paying attention, he tentatively touched the edge of the flame, only to hear a "chick", and the place where his hand touched the flame was immediately burned.

"Ah! I told you not to touch it!" Little Huomiao yelled, running around anxiously, but didn't know what to do.

Duan Xiaolou took a closer look at the wound, and found that it was different from ordinary burns.Although there is also a burning pain and the reaction after being scalded, from the perspective of the spiritual body, all of this is more like an established cognition.

To put it bluntly, this world is just Chen Yan's spiritual world. He has no entity in this world, so there is no real burn, but Chen Yan's spiritual world thinks that he will be burned, so he has this kind of pain. reactions and feelings.

Duan Xiaolou shook his hand, reshaped the burnt place with mental power, and said, "It's okay, you see, my resilience is very strong, and there is no problem."

Little Huomiao stopped circling, carefully observed Duan Xiaolou's fingers for a while, and made sure that his hand was intact, and then said with a sigh of relief: "I'll just say it! How could my friend be so weak!"

Duan Xiaolou: ...

In fact, the wound just now did some damage to Duan Xiaolou's spirit, but because the damage was so small that it was almost negligible, Duan Xiaolou didn't think it was a big deal.

The cave where Little Huomiao lives is a wonderful innate formation, and it is precisely because of this formation that Honglian Yehuo can be born.

In fact, the red lotus karmic fire is not the only special flame that lives here, but other flames are not as powerful as the red lotus karmic fire, so it becomes even more special.

The level difference between the flames is huge, and other flames dare not get close to the red lotus karma, because they are worried that they will be swallowed by the red lotus karma.However, when Honglian Yehuo was still relatively young, this level gap was not obvious, so Little Huomiao used to have many playmates, and some of his current knowledge was learned at that time.

"Look, there are things you can eat in this cave. Over there is our play area, don't go there. This is my bedroom, don't you think it's very beautiful?" Little Huomiao enthusiastically introduced everything here, Especially your own residence.

Duan Xiaolou looked at the bare cave, which was indistinguishable from other caves. He didn't know what could be called beautiful here, so he kept silent.

Fortunately, Duan Xiaolou's silence didn't hurt Xiao Huomiao, let alone affect his enthusiasm.Next, Little Flame shared with him where they ate and where they absorbed the aura of heaven and earth.

Along the way, other Huo Miao looked at Duan Xiaolou curiously from time to time.Most of these gazes were just pure curiosity, but some seemed to be a little malicious or probing. Whenever this happened, Xiao Huomiao would approach Duan Xiaolou and put on a protective posture.

Of course, Huo Miao also seemed to have a good impression of Duan Xiaolou, and floated over, wanting to take a closer look at Duan Xiaolou.It's a pity that before they got close, Little Flame taught them to knock them away with their body, as if "no one is allowed to touch my things except me".

Duan Xiaolou ate, lived and slept with Xiao Huomiao every day, and quickly adapted to life here.

In fact, the life here is not bad, but it is a pity that there is no experiment that Duan Xiaolou is familiar with, which makes him somewhat uncomfortable.

Duan Xiaolou wanted to continue his research with limited tools, but unfortunately there were too few materials, so at most he could only improve Xiao Huo Miao's diet.

In such a peaceful life, the little flame became stronger and stronger, its color became redder and brighter, and the shape of the lotus changed from the initial erratic to the current fixed form.The petals of the lotus swayed from time to time, which looked pleasing to the eye, and Duan Xiaolou always had the urge to touch them.

Fortunately, his rationality did not abandon him. Whenever he had such thoughts, he would think about the scalding temperature, and the thoughts would be completely dispelled.

As the shape of the little flame got closer and closer to the red lotus fire, Duan Xiaolou always had a bad feeling in his heart.

He never understood where this feeling came from, until one day the cave he was in suddenly shook.

Only then did Duan Xiaolou understand where this feeling came from—Honglian Yehuo was about to be born!

In this natural formation, the red lotus karmic fire and these many flames can not only continue to accumulate and become stronger, but this formation can also help them cover up the secrets of the sky, so that no monks can spy on them.

But the red lotus karma is too powerful, and it is doomed that it is impossible to live in this cave in obscurity for a lifetime.So when it matures, it's time to leave the customs.

At the same time, it was also the easiest time for those monks to catch it.

Thinking of Chen Yan once saying that he was chased and intercepted by a group of monks when he was just born, Duan Xiaolou felt uneasy.

"Honglian, I have something to tell you." Duan Xiaolou said with a serious expression.

"What?" Little Huomiao asked nervously, "You must be leaving, right? You can't leave here, don't even think about leaving!"

Duan Xiaolou asked with some doubts: "When did I say I was leaving?"

Little Huomiao pretended to turn around and said calmly, "Oh, then what do you want to tell me?"

Although Duan Xiaolou was a little confused, but the business was important, so he didn't get entangled.

"The formation here will be broken soon, and you will become very dangerous by then."

"Danger? There will be danger everywhere, so I won't be afraid!" Little Huomiao said, puffing out what seemed to be her chest.

"The danger I'm talking about is different from the danger you usually encounter." Duan Xiaolou organized his words, "This kind of danger is different from your usual fights, and different from the little trials you encountered when playing. It's a targeted fight, the target of this fight is you little flames, and the most important thing is to capture you."
