What's wrong with being a salted fish?

"Host, do you need me to remind you that Su Ziqi is not far behind you?" 0617 suddenly spoke.

"What is he doing standing there?" Lin Zhuo heard 0617's voice. He turned around and saw Su Ziqi, who was staring at him and crying silently. His eyes were red and tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Damn, it's so scary!" Lin Zhuo was so excited that he pulled Qi Zhixing back to the house.

He would explode if he took one more look at him. Can Su Ziqi let him go? !

......

After flying for several days, everyone from the Wanjian Sect finally arrived at Chu Yunhai, the location of the Songhua Secret Realm.

This place is surrounded by white mist all year round, and from a distance it looks like large chunks of white clouds falling on the earth.

Lin Zhuo leaned against Qi Zhixing and silently wrapped his clothes tightly. Not only was it white here, but the temperature was also lower than outside.

They didn't arrive very late, but they were late, but they could still be considered a good time.

The elders of various sects who control the secret realm are ready to work together to open it.

As they held various spiritual weapons and drew talismans into the formation, the white mist gathered into a ball among them, and then split from the middle, revealing a passage for the two of them to pass through.

"I believe everyone must be familiar with the rules of the Haiyue Grand Ceremony..." The leader, the old man with a white beard, cheerfully introduced the rules of the Grand Ceremony competition with his hands behind his back.

"What should I do?" Lin Zhuo whispered.

"Huh?" Qi Zhixing lowered his head and put his ear close to Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo pinched his ear and whispered, "I really want to argue with him, I really want to say I don't know."

Before Qi Zhixing could speak, the old man with a white beard spoke first: "My little boy from Wanjian Sect, do you have something to say? You can say it louder."

As he said that, the old man with the white beard looked at Lin Zhuo with encouraging eyes.

Help!

Lin Zhuo shook his head wildly, saying that he had nothing to say, and he even thought that the old man might have done it on purpose.

Inexplicably, Lin Zhuo felt as if he was suddenly caught by the teacher while whispering to his classmates in class, especially the looks from all directions, which made Lin Zhuo feel numb.

Qi Zhixing blocked him behind him and smiled calmly at the old man with a white beard.

"Is that so?" The old man with the white beard seemed disappointed, but he didn't care and continued to introduce.

Lin Zhuo leaned on Qi Zhixing's back, his eyes were blank, and his face was still flushed from the awkward atmosphere just now. He whispered in his mouth: "Kill me!"

Why is he always the one who dies? !

Lin Zhuo kept punching Qi Zhixing on the back, causing the latter to chuckle uncontrollably.

Still laughing! I was so embarrassed that I had to find a crack to get in!

Lin Zhuo glared at Qi Zhixing, and Qi Zhixing had no choice but to close his mouth to show that he was not smiling and that it was Lin Zhuo's auditory hallucination.

"Then these are all the rules of the ceremony." The old man with the white beard finished his words.

Lin Zhuo probably heard part of it, which probably meant that this event would last for three months. They would give each disciple a teleportation talisman. If they were in danger, they could tear the talisman open and they would be teleported out safely.

This competition adopts a points system. There are many spiritual plants and spiritual beasts in the secret realm. After three months, the elders will open the teleportation array to bring all the disciples out. At that time, everyone's trophies will be counted. The points that can be exchanged for different items will also be counted. Differently, the top ten will be ranked based on their points, and these ten can receive additional rewards provided by several sects.

Of course, the loot will be returned to everyone after the loot is calculated, and they will not take a penny.

After finishing speaking, the old man with a white beard stroked his beard and made way for the passage behind him.

"Two people enter together. After entering the secret realm, you will be randomly separated. Please pay attention to safety."

After he finished speaking, there were two elders in black standing on both sides of the passage: "Now, we will line up according to the sect..."

They arranged for people to enter in the order in which the sects came here. Wanjian Sect was ranked relatively low, so they still had time to chat.

Most of the disciples of Wanjian Sect wear cyan clothes, and there is not much difference. The difference between their factions is the jade rings they wear around their waists. The patterns carved on them are different, and even the craftsmanship used is different.

The disciples basically all have their own partners, and they are all cheering each other up, hoping that they will be lucky enough to be with people they know well.

But Lu Mian and Su Ziqi, standing alone, looked different, even a little out of place.

Some disciples looked hesitant, wondering whether they should talk to Lu Mian from the same sect.

Lu Mian seemed to know what they were thinking. He nodded at the group of people, turned around and found a high place, waiting for the elder's call.

When Lu Mian turned around, the disciples from the same sect saw the jade pendant hanging on Lu Mian's waist. It had a completely different style from theirs.

The jade pendants of the Wanjian Sect are basically carved from white jade, and different sages have different preferences, so they may give waist pendants of different materials to their favorite disciples, but the overall style will be relatively simple, because the Wanjian Sect advocates simplicity. Don't like extravagance.

Lu Mian's one is different. The material does not look like white jade but a spiritual stone full of spiritual energy. The milky white color seems to be flowing slowly. There are also blue butterflies engraved on the spiritual stone, surrounded by a circle of lifelike flowers, and the word "Qing" can be vaguely seen in the gap between the two.

That jade pendant was originally something Lin Zhuo always wore, and it was his own decoration. He had no disciples, so he never went to the craftsmanship office to customize his waist pendant.

So his was the only one in the sect, and now that he had accepted Lu Mian, Lin Zhuo hung it on Lu Mian's waist, and hung two small bags on his own belt.

Apart from anything else, looking at the jade pendant that Lin Zhuo gave to Lu Mian, the other disciples shed tears of envy.

Moreover, it is said that his jade pendant is not only a small storage device, but also has a formation inside that can withstand a full blow from the God Transformation stage. He gave it to his disciples so casually. How could people not envy him?

If Lu Mian seems to be cold and doesn't like to communicate with others, so he doesn't have many companions, Su Ziqi just doesn't bother to talk to others.

When I saw Su Ziqi crying on the spaceship before, some disciples wanted to comfort him, but he refused with his eyes widened. He seemed unwilling to let others touch him.

Moreover, both his communication attitude and rhetoric made people feel uncomfortable. Many disciples felt that he was rude and were unwilling to interact with him.

But Su Ziqi didn't care.

"Master." Lu Mian came to Lin Zhuo's side.

"Oh, here you go, where did you go?" Lin Zhuo looked at Lu Mian and straightened his slightly folded cuffs.

"I went to the front and took a look at the people from other sects. I felt that everyone was about the same strength." Lu Mian obediently stretched out his hand and let Lin Zhuo manipulate it.

Lin Zhuo flicked Lu Mian's forehead: "Are you kidding me? The Haiyue Ceremony is prepared for you, the young Jindanqi. Of course you are about the same strength."

"Oh." Lu Mian covered her forehead in grievance.

Lin Zhuo hugged him and patted his back: "Don't be nervous, just relax. I won't blame you if you don't get first place."

After hearing Lin Zhuo's words, Lu Mian raised his head slightly from his arms, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: Master, do you really not think that your words are implying that I must take first place?

"Okay, let go!" Suddenly, Qi Zhixing took Lin Zhuo away.

Even if he is an apprentice, a couple of hugs is enough.

Qi Zhixing turned his head and pretended not to see the accusing look in Lu Mian's eyes.

"Okay, let's go, come on." Lin Zhuo saw that the two elders at the door were already eyeing the disciples of Wanjian Sect, so he asked Lu Mian to hurry over and cheer Lu Mian without emotion.

When the last disciple disappeared at the entrance of the passage, the two elders at the door clapped their hands and looked at the accompanying elders of each sect who stayed here: "Then, everyone will stay here and wait. Is there no problem?"

"I have a problem!" Lin Zhuo raised his hand.

"Oh? Little friend Haiqing, do you have any questions?" The elder on the left, holding the roster in his hand, looked at him with a smile.

"I want to go in." Lin Zhuo said.

"The accompanying elders are not allowed to enter. You should know the rules." The elder on the right snorted coldly.

"Of course I know, but I'm not the accompanying elder." Lin Zhuo stretched out his hand to signal the elder to look this way.

"These two are the accompanying elders of our sect." After Lin Zhuo finished speaking, Cang Yunze and Xu Zisu's expressions remained unchanged and they waved to the elders on the right.

"then you?"

"Me? I'm here to join in the fun." Lin Zhuo walked up and handed him a letter: "I want to go in to collect herbs. I have already applied. Please take a look."

After reading it carefully, the two elders made way for Lin Zhuo: "This secret realm only allows practitioners of the Golden Core stage to enter. Even you can only use the strength of the Golden Core stage after entering. Do you understand?"

"Besides." The elder on the right seemed to dislike Lin Zhuo. His expression was disgusting and his words were very polite: "You are not counted among the disciples. We will not guarantee your safety. In other words, if you die accidentally Inside, Taixu has no reason to trouble us."

Lin Zhuo nodded, indicating that he had no problem, and then pulled Qi Zhixing into the passage.

After the two of them entered, the two elders released their spiritual energy, used their hands as tools, drew a formation to seal the entrance, and began to meditate with their eyes closed at the door.

"I asked, why does Lord Chongyang have such a bad attitude towards Xiao Zhuo?" Xu Zisu asked Cang Yunze in a low voice. The Lord Chongyang she mentioned was the elder on the right side of the door.

"He is the defeated general of Venerable Taixu. People love Wujiwu, but he hates Wujiwu, and of course he doesn't like Xiaoqing either."

Cang Yunze couldn't help but shake his head when he mentioned this. He was at the scene at the time. Although Venerable Chongyang provoked him first, Venerable Taixu was not polite at all and was beaten to the ground in two blows.

"Hmph, if you bully Xiao Zhuo, I'm going to beat him up!" As he said that, Xu Zisu was about to roll up his sleeves.

"Hey!!!!" Cang Yunze stopped her quickly, not even looking at her small body. How could she beat that bad old man in Chongyang!

......

"I think this thing is much more powerful than a roller coaster." Lin Zhuo couldn't help but slide down while holding on to the tree.

"Ah, why don't you drink some water, host?"

Who would have thought that after entering the passage, the first thing Lin Zhuo felt was being sucked in by the strong wind, and then the world was spinning. Lin Zhuo even felt that his body was about to be squashed.

After finally recovering, Lin Zhuo found that he was still separated from Qi Zhixing.

What he couldn't accept the most was that after turning two corners, he saw the guy he least wanted to see.

"Honorable Sir, are you okay?" Su Ziqi reached out to help him.

It's fine now, but if you say a few more words to me I might not be fine.

Lin Zhuo waved to Su Ziqi and slipped, not giving Su Ziqi a chance to touch him.

Su Ziqi retracted his hand in embarrassment, with an ugly expression on his face. Why was he so defensive about himself.

Lin Zhuo staggered forward. The spinning of the drum like a washing machine made his head hurt extremely.

"Host, why don't we sit down and take a rest." Seeing how uncomfortable he was, 0617 persuaded him.

"Impossible, I don't want to be alone with him. I even wonder if this world wants me to die. How come I don't want to pay attention to him and why are you sending him to me?" Lin Zhuo looked pale and covered his mouth, feeling disgusted. It couldn't stop rising from his throat.

"Sir, let me help you walk." Su Ziqi came up again.

I really beg you to stay away from me. I didn’t provoke you at all, okay?

"No need, stay away from me!" Lin Zhuo was feeling so uncomfortable now that he couldn't maintain his usual expression. He looked ugly and shouted at Su Ziqi.

How obvious do I have to say no to make you aware of yourself?

Lin Zhuo looked at Su Ziqi and suddenly recalled some bad things.

"Master, look at me? Don't you like me?" Su Ziqi looked crazy in the memory.

"I'll kill them all, kill them all! No one will stop us in the future!" Su Ziqi reached out to herself covered in blood.

"Get out!" Su Ziqi's bloody face gradually overlapped with the face standing in front of him, and Lin Zhuo drove him away with an angry roar.

"Sir, please don't get excited. I'll stay away from you." With his appearance, Su Ziqi could only compromise and no longer reached out to touch him, but took a few steps back.

"0617!" Lin Zhuo shouted in his mind.

"I'm here!" 0617 silently hugged his chubby self. The host hadn't called his full name for a long time.

"What happened just now? It doesn't fit with the plot!" Lin Zhuo was talking about the scene that appeared in his mind just now.

"What?" 0617 wondered.

"I have never experienced those scenes, why do they appear in my memory!" Lin Zhuo closed his eyes in pain, those scenes just now were repeatedly torturing his brain nerves.

"..." 0617 suddenly fell silent.

"say!"

"There is no one else, they are all you." After 0617 said this, it remained silent again. No matter how Lin Zhuo called it, it made no more noise.

Okay, okay, why don't you just play mime with him? Don't talk anymore if you can!

Lin Zhuo opened his eyes and looked at Su Ziqi, who was some distance away from him. He propped himself up and walked forward again.

Su Ziqi watched Lin Zhuo leave without saying a word, but just followed him silently.

Su Ziqi looked at Lin Zhuo's back in front of him and felt very uncomfortable: Although he is still the same person, his master has changed a lot.
