Human beings are deceitful, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Chapter 179 178. Little Red's Origin
Cheng Yuemei showed surprise, and murmured, "Datai Shenchao?"

At this time, there is a motive to take action against Taixu Palace, so as to take the initiative to infiltrate the forces of Taixu Palace territory. The most suspected force is the Great Tai Dynasty who is at war.

Even Ye Linger, who was relatively slow to react, could guess this point.

She touched her chin and thought; "So, the spell system they cast is indeed quite different from ours."

"Do they want to directly reach the core territory of Taixu Palace through Xuyuan?"

Jiang Junliang made waves in his heart and speculated.

In the present world, the border of the Great Thai Dynasty is extremely far away from the main city of Taixu Palace. If you don't use the teleportation spell, it will take at least several months to arrive.

And the movement of that kind of spell is not small, it is easy to be noticed, leading to the leakage of information about the operation.

But in Xuyuan, the geographical location of the two is not so far away.

Moreover, even the Taixu Palace has yet to fully grasp Xuyuan, let alone monitor all the areas within it in real time.

It is completely feasible to use the virtual abyss to sneak in secretly.

Obviously, a team like Zhou Shuo must not only have one, but must also be led by Nascent Soul or someone stronger.

Thinking of this, An Le frowned, feeling quite heavy.

It hasn't been long since he joined Taixu Palace, and most of the time he's still nestled in the Gu Family Mountain Range. If he said how strong his sense of belonging to Taixu Palace is, he would be lying.

However, leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.

If Anle wants to cultivate steadily and develop rapidly, the protection of Taixu Palace is indispensable, so it is naturally impossible to sit back and watch this infiltration continue.

"We have to reach the stronghold of Taixu Palace as soon as possible and report this matter to them."

An Le turned to look at Jiang Junliang: "Jiang Daoyou, the one closest to this place should be the Qinghan Branch Hall?"

"Do you have a way to find this branch hall?"

Hearing this, Jiang Junliang showed a hesitant look, but after hesitating, he still said, "Yes."

"However, the Qinghan branch hall is not built near the entrance and exit of Xuyuan, so it may not be possible to quickly return to Taixu Palace."

Compared with returning to Taixu Palace as soon as possible, it is obviously more important to pass on this news.

An Le didn't hesitate too long, and said, "Then it's settled."

"Also ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to lead us the way."

He vaguely saw that there seemed to be other reasons for Jiang Junliang's reluctance to go to the Qinghan Branch Hall, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't allow him to think so much.

Jiang Junliang took out a magic weapon in the shape of a magnetic needle.

Input spiritual power inward, and the magnetic needle emits a faint blue halo, floating in mid-air by itself to point out a direction.

Jiang Junliang explained: "This is a beacon that all monks working in Xuyuan will carry, and you can use it to find the corresponding stronghold."

******
With the magnetic needle guiding the way, Anle and others finally have a clear goal.

However, the special environment in Moon Abyss also slowed down their progress.

There is no daylight for a long time, which makes the temperature of Yueyuan much lower than that of the outside world. In addition, there is no warming effect of rock formations, and it is much colder than the previous tunnel.

The cold wind is bitter, like a winter night.

Anle's ghost armor has long evolved the "extremely cold" attribute during the spiritual disaster, and it can resist it with its own blood.

Ye Ling'er was also rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so she wasn't affected at all.

It's just that Cheng Yuemei and Jiang Junliang, the two Jindan monks, can only spend their spiritual power to keep warm all the time.

The extremely low temperature keeps the surface covered with a layer of solid ice, and topography and landforms such as ice cones, icicles, and icebergs are not uncommon.

The monsters here are not active, most of them are dormant underground, only coming out of the surface for hunting.

The low temperature environment also caused these monsters to evolve some special characteristics, and they all evolved in the direction of cold resistance.

But what really hinders An Le and the others from moving forward is... Xie Chong!
Perhaps it was because there was no daylight in Moon Abyss, so many strange and evil spirits were born here.

There is a kind of blue-black shadow, which often appears silently in the reflection of the ice cubes. As long as you take a look at it, you will have the feeling of being sucked into it.

According to Jiang Junliang, if you look at it for more than five seconds, no matter if it is a golden core or a nascent soul, your soul will be trapped in that shadow forever and never wake up again.

When he said this, Jiang Junliang looked extremely terrified, as if he had witnessed someone being tricked.

There is also a kind of evil spirit called "Ice Soul", barely humanoid, but the whole body is made of ice and snow, and the face is a smooth ice surface like a mirror.

After being in contact with a living person, it will gradually become that person's appearance, and the body shape of the whole body will gradually approach the other person.

Then, learn the skills, realm, and spells together.

And when its appearance changes completely, even the monk's memory will be acquired, forming a nearly identical personality.

Bing Po himself will subconsciously think that it is the real one.

An Le and others also encountered it once.

Fortunately, with Jiang Junliang's reminder, they killed Bing Po before it completely changed.

Even so, An Le was still secretly startled by the weirdness of these evil spirits.

"Have all the evil spirits here evolved to this extent?"

"It's not like a pure realm, but...a kind of rule?"

An Le rubbed his chin, looked around the scene, and thought to himself, "Is it because of the environment in Yueyuan, or... this spiritual energy?"

He could sense that there was a big difference between the aura in Xuyuan and the outside world, and it seemed more active and restless.

For ordinary monks, this undoubtedly means that it is more difficult to absorb and refine spiritual energy.

But at Anle's lower dantian, the nebula revolving around Xudan was faster than usual, and a dark and obscure halo shrouded it, looking sacred and strange.

"Xingji Xuyuan Kungfu..."

"It connects to the stars at the top, and connects to the abyss at the bottom, which happens to correspond to two different dantians."

"Complement each other and benefit each other."

An Le revealed a bit of joy in his heart: "This is a holy place for me to practice."

"Unfortunately, it's still too dangerous."

He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xiaohong beside him from the corner of his eye.

That delicate and icy little face was just sticking to the shoulders, the cherry lips were slightly parted, quietly absorbing the spiritual power overflowing from An Le's body, the brows and eyes gradually softened, revealing a look of enjoyment, a bit like a little girl who is eating food cat.

After waking up this time, Xiao Xiaohong became much clingier.

"It seems that the aura here also seems to have an effect on her."

Thinking of this, An Le couldn't help being a little curious: "What level is Xiao Xiaohong among the evil spirits?"

When the girl in red first obeyed An Le's command, her aura was still relatively obvious, even Bai Shanghai and others who practiced Qi were aware of it.

But with the improvement of An Le's strength, her hiding ability has also increased, and she has shown many extraordinary things one after another.

Now, Jindan monks like Jiang Junliang didn't notice Xiaoxiaohong's existence at all.

Only Ye Linger relied on her super intuition to vaguely mention: "Little brother, you smell like a woman."

There is also the figure that appeared in the Luohun ruins, and the reaction of the fourth-rank dragon dragon after seeing Xiao Xiaohong, all of which made Anle aware of her extraordinaryness, and at the same time gave birth to strong curiosity.

Hearing An Le's inner voice, Xiao Xiaohong replied: "An Le, I am different from these evil spirits."

"I seem... to be created by someone."

Hearing this, An Le couldn't help being surprised: "What do you mean?"

A little daze flashed across Xiao Xiaohong's face, as if she was trying to recall those fragmented fragments.

"I remember a place where it was dark, cold, and... there were so many people who were exactly like me, and that's where I woke up."

An Le's complexion changed slightly, this news was also extremely shocking to him.

If there is no problem with Xiaoxiaohong's memory, it means that there is far more than one woman in red like her.

And the one that Luo Hunzong provoked, and the one that Long Zilei had met, were most likely not the same red-clothed person!
An Le was even more puzzled, why did the person behind it create so many women in red?

——Since he has achieved this, it means that his strength is already extremely powerful.

And why, in the extremely remote Chenjia Village, there is a red dress?

Just a coincidence?

Or... for him?

"Friend An?"

Jiang Junliang noticed An Le's unusual expression, immediately became alert, and asked cautiously, "Did you notice any danger approaching?"

After the previous events, An Le already had a very high status in his mind.

Now that An Le suddenly changed color, Jiang Junliang naturally cheered up immediately and took it seriously.

An Le quickly adjusted her mood, returned to her indifferent appearance, and said, "It's nothing, it should just be my illusion."

No matter what the purpose of Xiao Xiaohong's creation is, now is not the time to explore these secrets. Finding the stronghold of Taixu Palace and getting out of danger is the most important thing right now.

******
The four of them walked for a while in the icy and snowy Moon Abyss.

In this complex terrain, even with the guidance of beacons, there are still some detours occasionally.

On the road, I encountered four or five times of evil spirits with different abilities.

But under Xiao Xiaohong's keen perception and An Le's reminder, they all bypassed without any risk.

This made Jiang Junliang even more amazed: "You Daoist An is not only superior in strength, but also better in perception than me?"

Suddenly, An Le stopped and looked at a spot in the snow.

"Wait, this is..."

The four of them leaned over and saw a bunch of sporadic bloodstains remaining on the ground.

The blood had already coagulated, and the dark red was particularly eye-catching on the gray and white ground.

An Le followed the bloodstain, and soon saw a corpse with only a few bones left. The bones were covered with a layer of frost, and there was a storage bag that fell on the ground beside it.

"I'm afraid this is a casual cultivator who died unfortunately."

Jiang Junliang made a judgment with a calm expression on his face.

There are never a few explorers who come to Xuyuan to try to get rich overnight, and those who die here far exceed the number who retire after success.

An Le picked up the storage bag and put it in his arms.

After getting this unexpected windfall, he was not very happy, and his heart was a little heavy.

******
After this little episode.

The four of them finally arrived at the Qinghan branch hall that Jiang Junliang said.

Although it was called the "Branch Hall", in Anle's view, it was more like a fortress.

The branch halls are all in all directions, and they are all made of extremely strong materials to form thick walls.

There are obviously several nested defensive magic circles on the wall, emitting tyrannical fluctuations.

An Le reckoned that several Nascent Souls would be unable to destroy them if they set fire to them in a short time.

The interior of the fortress is airtight, and there are only a few small lookouts where you can observe the surrounding situation.

This is the architectural form adopted in response to the special environment of Yueyuan.

It can be said that the beauty is completely abandoned, and the practicality is emphasized.

Even an attack in the rock formation can be easily resisted.

It's no wonder that building such a stronghold requires a lot of energy and time for monks.

Just before An Le and the others arrived at the Qinghan branch hall, a small door opened on the side of the fortress, and a surprised voice came from it.

"Jiang Junliang! Why are you here?"

A female cultivator with an upper-middle appearance and a slightly plump figure walked out of the door. She was very surprised to see Jiang Junliang's arrival.

"I thought I was mistaken just now, but when I came out, I realized it was really you."

"Didn't you say that you will never..."

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Junliang coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said with a serious expression: "I came here because I have something urgent to report, and I ask Fellow Daoist Tian to help inform the Hall Master."

Looking at Jiang Junliang's expression, Tian Xiangtong knew that he was serious, but thinking of the past between the other party and the palace master, Tian Xiangtong could only sigh.

"You know Master Zhang Dian. He is busy at the moment. I will inform you later."

Hearing this, Jiang Junliang clenched his fist slightly, and asked with a straight face, "Is it with her?"

Tian Xiangtong nodded: "Jiang Daoyou, for the sake of my colleagues, I still remind you, don't act impulsively."

Jiang Junliang took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​for reminding me."

"It's too cold outside, come in and sit down first."

Under the guidance of Tian Xiangtong, they stepped into the fortress.

As soon as she stepped through the small door, An Le was surprised by the surrounding scene.

From the outside, the whole Qinghan branch hall looks like a hard lump of iron, cold and hard.

But its interior is actually unique, like a small building with carved beams and painted columns, antique.

Going further inside, the aura gathers and the temperature is pleasant, as if the warm sun in early spring is shining on the body.

Not far away, there are still green plants planted, and the green onions are fresh and tender.

The air is fresh, without the slightest odor, as if isolated from the world, completely different from the cold and lonely situation outside the fortress.

"There must be a very high-level magic circle here, taking into account the functions of gathering spirits, ventilation, and constant temperature."

An Le admired in her heart.

If you think about it, you have already cultivated to this level, how can the monks of Taixu Palace live in a dirty and messy environment like ordinary workers.

Even in the harsh virtual abyss, the quality of life will be improved as much as possible.

Perhaps it was because of An Le's high appearance, Tian Qiutong stared at him with a smile, without concealing his admiration, and said: "These magic circles were arranged by Palace Master Zhang alone, and they can be said to be infinitely useful."

An Le nodded, but her expression suddenly became strange.
