I got rich from my apprentices

======================

Pei Geng spread out his spiritual knowledge and searched for several kilometers nearby. The sea water was too disturbing, so he couldn't find Bai Qingxiao.

Pei Geng simply went to look for Gu Jinghuai and the two first, intending to look for them together.

In the end, after chasing after him, he found that Bai Qingxiao happened to be standing with the two of them.Gu Jinghuai kept asking questions, Bai Qingxiao looked at him expressionlessly with his eyes open, as if he didn't understand what the person in front of him was saying.

"Master! Are you okay?!" Pei Geng rushed forward a few strides, raising his hand to grab Bai Qingxiao's wrist, but his palm passed through Bai Qingxiao's body.

He was dumbfounded, and raised his hands to try to hug Bai Qingxiao, but he found nothing in the air.

"What's the matter?" Pei Geng was a little anxious.

Bai Qingxiao tilted his head slightly, with no expression on his face, just looked at him silently, without speaking.

It was only then that Pei Geng realized that the Bai Qingxiao in front of him was still dressed in the same blue and white robe, but he did not have the sycamore wooden hairpin he gave him as a gift in his hair.And if the body is translucent, wouldn't it be...

He was thinking about it when he heard someone say it.

"It's the soul that Qing Xiao lost." Xuanhua concluded, "It just happened to be bumped into by the two of us. By the way, where is your master?" He asked Pei Geng.

"It's gone. I was still holding his hand when I came down, and suddenly a light came over. After the light disappeared, the master disappeared too!" Pei Geng hastily described the color and direction of the light, "didn't see it Others didn’t even see the formation. And it’s only aimed at Master, it’s weird no matter how you look at it, and I’m worried that something might happen.”

"Didn't see the formation? Didn't see anyone?" Xuanhua pondered.After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes.

There is no wind around, and the sea water turns like a whirlpool, circling around the whole body, from bottom to top.

Pei Geng instantly felt a powerful spiritual sense sweeping past him, he didn't like the feeling of being seen through, so he couldn't help frowning.

Gu Jinghuai said in relief, "Don't worry, he hasn't been away for a long time, and the range of master's spiritual consciousness is huge, covering this sea area, we will find it soon."

Xuanhua's spiritual knowledge has spread thousands of miles——

After a while, he opened his eyes, "His spiritual consciousness is in a secret realm, very close to the Dragon Tomb."

"How come?!" The other two said in unison, obviously very surprised, and shocked that Bai Qingxiao went in before them for some reason.

The ghost of Bai Qingxiao looked at this and that, then turned around and took a step.

"Master, don't go!" Pei Geng, who was always paying attention to him, quickly blocked him.

But Bai Qingxiao passed through him, and he was about to fly away.

Can't let him go!Otherwise, I will find the master later, and I will have to find the sub-soul again.Pei Geng frowned in thought, wrapped his right palm with spiritual breath, and slapped Bai Qingxiao on the back suddenly.

On the other side, Bai Qingxiao, who was surrounded by sharks, seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

The leader, the wrinkled old merman, stood up, his black tail excitedly swept the sand on the seabed, and his eyes shone with fanaticism.With a flick of his tail, he flew up along the sea, followed by several sharks, all holding several big shells in their hands.

What is this for?Seeing that they didn't look like they were going to attack, Bai Qingxiao relaxed his tense muscles, moved his eyes slightly, and looked at them silently.

The old merman flew in front of him, gesturing and chatting a lot.

After listening to Bai Qingxiao for a while, he realized that he couldn't understand the language. He couldn't understand what the old shark said.

But this person does not seem to be hostile.

The old merman respectfully raised his hands, the water in his palms rolled, turning invisible into form, the light condensed in his palms, and a crown appeared out of thin air.It is covered with pearls and gemstones, which is extremely gorgeous.

The old shark looked up at Bai Qingxiao, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he bowed his waist slightly to offer it with both hands.The crown floated from his hand and flew to Bai Qingxiao smoothly.

Bai Qingxiao looked dazed, took the crown with one hand, and weighed it, feeling that it was quite heavy.He flipped it around, looked left and right, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the crown had no spiritual fluctuations, and it didn't look like a magic weapon.

So I put it aside without being very interested, and didn't plan to take it.

The old shark thought he accepted it, and chattered excitedly.

Bai Qingxiao gradually became fascinated by the strange sound, fixed his eyes on the old mermaid's ears as light as butterfly wings, and then touched his own human ears.

Seeing the webs between the old shark's fingers, he lowered his head to look at his hands, and thought the ten distinct fingers looked better.

Moving his gaze down, he landed on the back of the old merman's waist and the fins on his tail. He touched his lower back inexplicably, and felt that the difference between himself and the merman was not ordinary.

In the end, Bai Qingxiao found that his tail was one size bigger than theirs, and the color was brighter for some reason.

Bai Qingxiao silently compared himself with the shark facing him.

After all, when he first came to the deep sea secret realm, he didn't have this opportunity to look at the real shark head-on.

The old shark beckoned, and the sharks behind flew to the front one after another, standing in a row two meters away in front of Bai Qingxiao.

These mermen are obviously female, wearing flexible and beautiful merman gauze.

Looking at it, Bai Qingxiao felt that something was wrong, and wondered to himself, could it be possible that the merman race has such a state of yin flourishing and yang decaying?But when he looked down, there were obviously many male mermaids below.

These sharks standing in a row opened the shells in their hands, and out of the shells flew out a bunch of shiny pearls, spirit beast pills, special spirit stones, and various rare things that were full of aura despite being unrecognizable.

All these things floated in front of Bai Qingxiao, making him even more confused.

The old shark smiled, stood there motionless, and looked at him quietly.

Bai Qingxiao pulled the big shell under his body and tried to stand up straight. He pointed to the pile of things in front of him and then to himself, not sure, "For me?"

The old shark nodded.

Bai Qingxiao's eyes lit up immediately, and even the old man who was watching Lao Yu felt that the folds on his face were emitting holy light.

After all, he is a monk and a doctor.These things presented to him attracted him much more than the crown!

Are the mermen so kind and generous!Is this some kind of meeting ceremony? !

Bai Qingxiao said politely, "Why is this so embarrassing?" He said so, but he honestly pulled a big bag out of the mustard space, opened the big bag and quickly filled it with things.

The old shark looked at him kindly as he stuffed the big bag bulging.

When he finished, the old merman waved his hand, and a young male merman swam up below, wagging his dark blue tail, holding a bowl made of shells, in which was a strange-looking seaweed.

The old merman's smile faltered, as if he was not satisfied with the merman who came out, he moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The young shark approached, one meter away from Bai Qingxiao, and stretched out his hand to hand over the bowl.

The grass in the bowl is almost transparent flesh-colored. If you look carefully, there are traces of blood in the flesh-colored flesh, like the veins on the human skin are slightly undulating.Beneath its innocuous exterior lies an unknown function.

Bai Qingxiao remembered its name in the elixir encyclopedia: Blood Spirit Grass

Although the name sounds nice, this grass is very evil.I don't like long soil, nor long water.Dudu likes to grow in the flesh and blood of animals, absorbing the essence of the flesh and blood of animals to grow.What is the attribute function of the animal, and the blood spirit grass has grown into the corresponding attribute.

Bai Qingxiao pointed to himself and then to the bowl, "Is this also for me?"

The old shark nodded with a smile, made a gesture of picking it up and eating it, and went back and forth several times, signaling Bai Qingxiao to eat the grass.

Even a three-year-old child knows not to eat what others give him.Bai Qingxiao put down the sack in his hand, pointed at the sack, and then pointed at the Blood Spirit Grass of unknown attributes, "Is this the price I paid for these things?"

He rubbed his chin, looked up at the old mermaid, "But there is no grievance, no enmity, what use is this grass?" If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to study this herb on the spot.

The old shark couldn't understand what he said, but he could tell that he didn't want to eat, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

The surrounding sharks raised their hands one after another, the water solidified in their hands and turned into various weapons.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Bai Qingxiao quickly said, "What's the rush, I'll eat, I'll just eat. I really can't do anything with you, isn't it just a grass?" He mobilized his aura behind his back and strangled the spell.

While paying attention to the attitudes of the mermen around, he thought to himself that the situation was not quite right, and it would be better to send it back to Shennong Valley and come back to catch up with Pei Geng and the others.

Just when he was about to touch the blood spirit grass, a cold hand stretched out from the side, firmly grasping his wrist, stopping his movement.

who?Bai Qingxiao raised his eyes vigilantly, but met the eyes of the young mermaid.There was panic and fear in those eyes, and there was a kind of determination in them.

What is this for?Bai Qingxiao was taken aback for a moment, and the light of the talisman pinched in his hand behind his back gradually extinguished.

The young merman turned around and slammed the bowl on the old merman. Amid the angry roar of the old merman, he slapped the old merman away with his tail. Jump down from the hill.

The sharks at the foot of the hill uttered awe-inspiring shouts.The sea water buzzed, and they swung their tails powerfully and rushed forward, the current rolled up, and they rushed towards the two of them one by one.

The time to escape like this is too short, and the position is still among the mermaids, which is not good for them.

Bai Qingxiao grabbed the young mermaid who was running around in a hurry, stopped in place, clapped his palms together, and pulled away the magic spell, the magic power expanded into a circle of ripples, and the wood-type spiritual power gave birth to an extremely prosperous life. "rise!"

Phantom seaweed grew from the bottom of the sea one after another, and the long leaves instantly entangled the sharks who rushed towards them.The flat land became a 'dense forest' overgrown with seaweed.

Let them struggle endlessly, and it will be difficult to escape in the short term.

This accident happened in an instant, so that the attacking water thorn just stopped in front of the young merman's forehead, and was caught by the seaweed.

The young mermaid was so frightened that his face was as white as a sheet of paper. When he regained his senses, he took a quick breath from his chest, flicked his tail in the air and turned a corner.Dodging nimbly among the entangled sharks, dragging Bai Qingxiao to swim quickly in a certain direction.

Bai Qingxiao was dragged by him in the sea water like a kite.

Because he was at the back, he stared at the young merman's rapidly wagging tail and fell into thought.

The straight tail behind him swayed slightly, following the rhythm of the young mermaid.The speed of the two suddenly increased, briefly throwing off the merman who was chasing after them.

"Thank you!" Bai Qingxiao looked back and saw the undulating hillside and countless seabed plants, feeling a little relaxed.

"Can't stop, it's too dangerous here. I know a safer place. Also, you're welcome, I have a request to save you. The clothes on your body... Are you a disciple of Shennonggu? Can you help me change Back to human legs?" said the young mermaid.

"You still know this disciple uniform? I'm Bai Qingxiao, a disciple of Shennong Valley... Wait," Bai Qingxiao was surprised elsewhere, "You can speak human language?!"

"It's not us, it's me! The mermaids all rely on their spiritual sense to convey messages." The young mermaid emphasized, "My surname is Li Dan, and my last name is empty. Before I ate that grass, I was just like you!"

With a flick of his tail, he carried a string of water bubbles.

"What does it mean to be like me?"

Li Kong didn't answer, he dragged him around a corner, and got in front of the mountain wall.

"Wait, there's no way here." As soon as Bai Qingxiao finished speaking, he saw the person who was dragging him plunge into it, and most of his body was gone.Bai Qingxiao was dumbfounded.It turns out that the mountain wall is a blindfold!

Through the mountain wall, he saw a wide hollowed out cave.

Light penetrates through the circular gap on the mountain peak, and fluorescent jellyfish and bright swimming fish sometimes rise and fall along the light, and sometimes land, swimming against the ground on the round altar in the middle.

"Where is this?"

"The holy land of the mermaid tribe. There is no time, come quickly, or they will catch up later." Li Kong was very strong, he knelt on the center of the round altar, searching for something, and began to break a square blue brick.Bai Qingxiao followed beside him, working hard with him.

This blue brick was hard to break, a large heavy piece was forcibly pulled out by the two people, revealing a hole that only allowed one person to pass through, the hole was dark and cold.

Li Kong jumped down first.

Bai Qingxiao leaned his upper body to look down, and wanted to observe, but was dragged from below by Li Kong who stuck out his upper body, and he fell down. "Hey! Be careful, it's too dark!"

The two fumbled and swam forward for a few meters.

Li Kong looked back inadvertently, fixed his eyes on the back of his head, and said, "Why is your hairpin glowing?"

"What hairpin?" Bai Qingxiao was asked, raised his hand to touch his head, and pulled out the only wooden hairpin on his hair.

I saw that the pattern on the wooden hairpin was fiery red, shining a small warm light.

"It's really bright." He smiled, and shook it forward, just for lighting.

This channel stays in the dark and extends forward.

Until the end of the road, there is no way to go, but there is light in this narrow place.Bai Qingxiao looked up, and there was a gap in the top of his head.

Li Kong dragged Bai Qingxiao up and flicked his tail vigorously, and got out of the hole.

I saw that the two were on the mountainside road to the mountain peak, and a suspension bridge at the highest peak led to the opposite mountain.

"Where is this?" Bai Qingxiao followed him, looking around while swimming.

"The forbidden area of ​​the mermaid tribe. Going down from the opposite mountain is the teleportation formation, which can directly teleport to the dragon tomb that they have guarded for generations." After running for so long, Li Kong finally had time to catch his breath, "It's their territory within a hundred miles. Only here, they won't get in easily. Even if they get in, they can only get in." He said with a smile, "It's just the old man. Isn't it easy to fight two against one?"

"This is the Dragon Tomb?" Bai Qingxiao couldn't believe it, "So easy?"

"It's not easy, it's hard to get in, it's not easy to get out."

"How to say?"

"It is said that there is a passage in the innermost part that can connect to the dragon clan in the upper realm. You don't need to practice hard, you just need to walk through the dragon tomb to go to the upper realm. What a temptation, otherwise, how could the deep sea secret realm attract so many monks flocking to it?" Li Kongleng He snorted, "It's a pity that I have been here for so many years, but I haven't seen success. What's more, I can't even get in the door."

"Then you brought me here to seek death!" Bai Qingxiao stopped and refused to leave. He felt that it would be more practical to kill directly than to find some illusory passage to the upper realm.

"Of course I know there is a small path to get out." Li Kong turned to look at Bai Qingxiao, "Will I still harm myself?"

"Oh." Bai Qingxiao felt that it made sense, and followed up wagging his tail again, "You haven't finished talking yet, what do you mean helping you restore your human legs? Could it be that you were a human before, not a mermaid?"

Li Kong groaned and went upstream, panting, and explained, "Because I'm a half-breed merman! I heard that there are many secret treasures in the deep sea secret realm, so I came to explore, but I was summoned by their collective sacrifice."

"Woke up with a fish tail. Just like you just now, when you found something wrong with the seaweed, you wanted to run away, but unfortunately you were caught. After eating that grass, my fishtail stabilized and I couldn't recover my human legs. Li Kong held out his hand to him, and spread his five fingers, "Look——"

"Look at what?"

"Web! I used to look similar to you, but after eating that grass, I not only lost my human legs, but also became a complete mermaid!" Li Kong gritted his teeth, "Afterwards I stayed, and only then did I know that this mermaid The human race is very evil."

"How evil is it?" Bai Qingxiao became a little interested, half of his mind stayed on the top, and half of his mind turned his head to listen to him.

"They tried to purify the bloodline through continuous breeding, and finally produced a true ancestral dragon that protects the mermaid race! You say it's unreasonable!" Li Kong showed a bit of indescribable embarrassment and anger. "What's even more outrageous is that a few people who are in the same situation as me have married wives and had children after coming here, and plan to spend their lives here. They are all assimilated! I plan to drag a newcomer to Muddy Waters Touch cough cough, come and run together."

Bai Qingxiao said in shock, "What!"

After Bai Qingxiao was astonished, he actually felt that the story was somewhat familiar, and when he got in touch with the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, he recalled that he had seen a person who wanted to force the Phoenix Clan to return to their ancestors to obtain a divine beast, so as to help him ascend A monk from the upper realm.

Fortunately, the descendants of the mixed blood of the dragon race are not persecuted by outsiders, and they even want to get a fake dragon to protect themselves.

It can be seen that all the words involving "god" or "immortal", whether it is elixir, artifact, or beast, all make people red-eyed and lose their minds.

He thought for a while, looked at Li Kong's expression, and asked tentatively, "Then you, have you already married and had children in the Merman Clan?"

Li Kong turned his face away and skipped the topic, "Of course, I found out later that the object of their sacrifice is someone else, and we are just a product of incident."

"They only want to find a mixed-race merman who came to the deep-sea secret realm a hundred years ago. It is said that he has the highest degree of atavism. So every once in a while, they will conduct collective sacrifices, summon all the merman who are close to this sea area, and try to get back together." Find that person."

100 years ago?Bai Qingxiao recalled the previous events and was not sure: It couldn't be really me, could it?

Thinking that I have done good deeds all my life, why did I encounter this kind of thing?Even in terms of elder engagement, this hand is too long.

Bai Qingxiao thought of one of the tricks, "Do you know how they judge whether a mermaid has a high degree of atavism?"

Li Kong said casually, "Look at the color of the tail! Our ancestor was a sea dragon, and the scales were as conspicuous as kyanite. So the closer the tail is to the sea blue, the more atavistic it is..."

Speaking of this, the two fell silent, and their eyes fell on Bai Qingxiao's tail involuntarily.

"Cough, I actually dyed it with Polygonum indigo..."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Li Kong swam forward quickly, staring sideways at him and said, "The only thing I care about is, can you help me restore my human legs?"

If you can't, you can.Bai Qingxiao thought, if he denies it, Li Kong will throw him here directly.Now he needs this guide very much, otherwise he can only run around in the dark like a blind man.

Therefore, Bai Qingxiao put on a sincere face, "I can try after I go out."

Just as they were talking, the two climbed up the mountain.

The two mountains looked as if they were one, the middle seemed to be split open, and there was a bottomless ditch underneath.

The suspension bridge wobbled across the two mountains, and the sea water in the deep ditch was turbulent, and the strength was not small.

Bai Qingxiao cast a spell to restrain the two of them.The two grabbed the rope and crossed the suspension bridge, facing a steep mountain.

This man is not lying to him, is he?Bai Qingxiao looked around, "Where is the tomb of the dragon? Where is the tomb?"

There was a faint whistling sound from the opposite side.Bai Qingxiao turned around and saw a large group of mermaids appearing on the opposite side, the leader did not see the old mermaids, but two beautiful female mermaids, looking at Li Kong with moving expressions and mournful eyes, and made mournful voices in their mouths.

"Didn't you say that only elders can come?" Bai Qingxiao frowned.Why did you catch up so quickly!

Without waiting for Bai Qingxiao to delve into it, Li Kong directly raised his hand to cut off the suspension bridge with spiritual power, and watched helplessly as the suspension bridge crashed and hit the opposite mountain wall.

And the sharks who tried to swim over by force were all swept away by the sea water blown up by the deep ditch.

"Let's go!" Li Kong didn't look back and pulled Bai Qingxiao to run forward.

"Where is the entrance to the Dragon Tomb? Are you also a road idiot?" Bai Qingxiao was worried.But soon, he no longer doubted, and became speechless.

However, Li Kong pulled him to fly to the cliff, there was actually a sea vortex like a black hole underneath, and there was a deep blue dragon rising and falling in the tumbling sea, the two of them together were not as big as a dragon's tooth.

Although only a glimpse of his body can be seen, the huge figure is shocking enough.

"Dragon?!" Bai Qingxiao was overjoyed after being shocked. There are still dragons in this world?Does that mean there are still dragon scales? !

"No, it's just some remnant souls." Li Kong said calmly.

The rumbling sound of the sea vortex made people tremble.

"Should we jump from here?" Bai Qingxiao retreated a little.He saw the giant dragon raised its head, sprayed white mist from its nose, and stared angrily at the two of them.

He immediately became vigilant, his muscles tensed.Twelve thin needles emerged from his dantian, circling around him, sharp and thin as silver threads.

Li Kong looked down with a solemn expression, "Yes, jump from here. Don't be afraid, after all, it is our ancestor and will not harm us, but you have to be prepared—"

"What to prepare?"

Li Kong took a deep breath, closed his eyes suddenly and pulled him down, "Get ready to fall!"

Before Bai Qingxiao opened his mouth to speak, his whole body was swept away by the rushing sea water, trapped in the middle of the vortex, and then plunged into darkness.

Over there, Pei Geng led the two of them in through the entrance of the secret realm.

"It's not quite right, there are no shark guards here." Pei Geng led the way.

Because he had entered Bai Qingxiao's memory, he knew the fastest and safest way to go to the front of this deep-sea secret realm, so he led the two of them straight into the hinterland, and he was very clear about the trap of jumping through the grid.

"Master, where have you been?" Pei Geng lowered his head and sighed.His left hand was across his chest, his thumb slightly raised.

A big-fingered Bai Qingxiao hugged his thumb, silently poked his head out from his thumb, just in line with Pei Geng's eyes, and immediately retracted, trying to block himself tightly with his thumb.

Although his stature has become smaller, his body has solidified anyway.Pei Geng was afraid that he would get lost, so he simply trapped the smaller soul in his palm.

Beside the thumb, Fenhun quietly peeked out one eye from the side as if playing hide-and-seek with him, looking at Pei Geng in bewilderment.This appearance does not seem to have the slightest sense of self-consciousness.

Pei Geng was so cute that he felt that this soul was pitiful, weak and harmless, so he couldn't help but raised his right hand and carefully rubbed the villain's head and touched his face.

Fenhun lowered his head, seemingly obedient, but suddenly opened his mouth and rushed to hug his right hand, biting his fingertips fiercely.

"Ah!" This scream made Yuyu scatter in shock.

Xuanhua and Gu Jinghuai who were following behind thought that something was wrong, so they drew their swords one after another.

"No, it's okay." Pei Geng stuffed Bai Qingxiao into his chest in a bit of embarrassment, pointing to the huge door in front, "Here it is. The deepest entrance I saw in Master's memory is here. Wait for you Follow in my footsteps, and remember not to go wrong."

"Also, after the door is opened, there will be about a dozen white-skeletoned mermaids pouring out, and their cultivation bases are all around the Golden Core stage. We have to prepare in advance, and it's best to break them with a net."

Xuanhua confirmed to him, "They are all golden pills?"

"Correct."

Xuanhua nodded, and summoned his long sword, the cold air condensed and the surrounding seawater turned into ice slag, "Go and open the door, hide aside after the door is opened, I will freeze them."

Gu Jinghuai said, "Then I will set up an array in front of the door, and the master will freeze them to delay the time. Once the array is formed, it will be resolved soon."

Pei Geng raised his hand, trying to join in and do something, "Then I..."

Xuanhua glanced at him and frowned, as if a little disgusted.Gu Jinghuai coughed, "Young fellow daoist," he reminded, "Ice and fire collide, why don't you take care of brother Bai's soul?"

He was actually rejected by two ice-type ones!

But it's nice to be able to sit and wait without using your hands.Pei Geng blinked, unexpectedly feeling that the journey had gone too smoothly.He lowered his head, and Bai Qingxiao's little soul pulled open the skirt of his chest, and a head looking around came out from inside.

Pei Geng pushed him back with one finger, thinking: Master really had the foresight to pull these two together.
