The Right Protector of the Demon Sect is reborn

After returning to Luanqing without any danger, Lou Xinzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Yunfan landed when the fog stopped, and led Lou Xinzhou into the side courtyard. The small courtyard prepared for her by Qi Yuan sat in the west and faced the east. The layout was somewhat similar to the large courtyard, paved with white stones, and a small pond. But There is no ginkgo tree, but there is a small rockery with a stone table placed on the mountain. The design is more playful, which fits Lou Xinzhou's current appearance.

"so beautiful."

Lou Xinzhou sighed a little. The yard was very big, bigger than the one she lived in in her previous life. The red paint used in the house was also her favorite color.

"Your things in Zhenjian were also moved here." Shao Yunfan opened the door and was a little surprised when he looked at the empty room, "I asked someone to bring it over."

Lou Xinzhou walked into the room and looked around, then turned to look at Shao Yunfan.

"Yeah, thank you, senior brother. I brought them all. What's wrong?"

"Why so little?"

Shao Yunfan had never been an outer disciple, and he had never experienced the life without food and clothing like Lou Xinzhou's before. He was extremely surprised by the room with only a bed covered with things.

The monthly expenses of direct disciples are all reimbursed by the sect, and the spiritual stones distributed are used for living expenses, but there is still a lot left over, so they live a very comfortable life, and there is naturally no shortage of things in the house.

But for Lou Xinzhou, the pitiful spiritual stones of the outer disciples were only enough for her to eat. As for the layout of the house, she had no energy to care. As long as there was a bed for meditating and sleeping, it was enough.

"Senior brother?"

A golden light flashed, and a bulging purse appeared out of thin air in Shao Yunfan's palm.

"It may take some time for the direct disciple's clothes and monthly replenishment to be delivered. There are a thousand spiritual stones here. You can use them first."

"one thousand?!"

You must know that the monthly spiritual stones for outer disciples are only fifty, and even if they are passed down personally, they are only two hundred. Why did Shao Yunfan give himself so much at once? This money was enough to buy a slightly better yellow-level magic weapon.

So is senior brother so rich?

Lou Xinzhou was rarely silent.

After sending Shao Yunfan away, Lou Xinzhou finally had time. It was time to go to the Bone Burial Tomb. After all, she had reached the golden elixir level now, so the ghost's promise to let her leapfrog into the Mahayana Secret Realm was meaningless. She had to Then ask about the situation, or in other words, negotiate with the owner of the secret realm.

Qi Yuan hasn't come back yet. Lou Xinzhou knows that he shouldn't go out alone at this time, but there are some things that must be done, even if they require risks.

The secret realm of Mahayana cultivation can be encountered but not sought, and according to the agreement of the cultivation world, all secret realms above the body are made public. Therefore, although the secret realm appears in Kunlun Xu this time, it can only be regarded as public property. On the day the secret realm is opened, there will be You can imagine how many people will go in. She must make some preparations in advance and cannot give up the opportunity to have direct contact with the owner of the secret realm.

Judging from her clothing and temperament, the female ghost should be an elder from Kunlun's past. These days, Lou Xinzhou has also conducted a thorough investigation. According to various historical records of Kunlun, the female ghost is most likely the high-ranking elder who died in the Tianhe War three hundred years ago to defeat the great demon Gou Qi - Zhengyin. , from the same sect as the head Qi Yuan, according to her seniority, Lou Xinzhou should call her "Uncle Fourth Master".

All the way down to the mountainside of Luanqing Mountain, when Lou Xinzhou saw the pavilion on the slope, he remembered Wei Jiuyi and realized that he had completely forgotten about her yesterday, and this morning he did not see the child asking him to go to the cafeteria to eat. It was not that he wanted to keep her. breakfast?

The sun had completely reached the top of his head. Lou Xinzhou blocked his eyes with his hands and looked at the canteen not far away.

Oh, I haven’t had breakfast yet today.

Qingxing's food was good except for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Therefore, although it was already meal time, there was no one in the cafeteria and there was no obstruction to the view. When Lou Xinzhou approached, he was easily attracted by the words carved on the east wall. The notice caught the eye.

I vaguely felt that it was related to the secret realm that was about to be opened, so I moved forward.

The white aura was light and faint, and was engraved on the notice wall with a special black background. The words were as small as ants, but because of the formation, it did not affect anyone's reading.

Before the notice was finished, an outer disciple in his twenties stood beside him. There was no doubt that he was responsible for this notice.

"Senior brother, do you know anything about the opening of a secret realm?"

"You've asked the right person, I do know a bit, but..."

Lou Xinzhou sensibly took out the purse that Shao Yunfan gave her in the morning, took out a spiritual stone and put it in the man's hand.

"Hey, let's go to the Dao. Junior sister, let me tell you, there is no Nascent Soul in the secret realm this time, so don't enter."

"Why? It says that anyone with a cultivation level of Golden Elixir or above can be named."

"Hey, you have a golden elixir?! Tsk, tsk, at such a young age, I'm afraid I haven't laid a good foundation."

The disciple was shocked at first, and then quickly calmed down. Lou Xinzhou looked at his demeanor and realized that this kind of person was the smartest. He must have good relations with many disciples in the inner sect and be well-informed.

"Listen to my advice. If you are such a genius, you may be spotted by an elder one day. Don't get involved. Otherwise, you may die."

"..."

"I heard that the cultivation bases sent by the five sects this time are all above Yuanying. Can Jindan compete with others? Besides, Fufeng Sect and Lianshui Pavilion have come a lot this time. They have always been with me. If the factions are at odds, wouldn't it just be a soft persimmon for others?"

"Well, I understand, thank you, senior brother."

Nascent Soul or above? It seems that this trip to the secret realm must involve Shao Yunfan.

……

When Lou Xinzhou arrived at the burial ground, the sun was at its strongest. It stands to reason that female ghosts would not appear under the sun, but for some reason, Lou Xinzhou had a gut feeling that this time would not be in vain.

You can see Mr. Huo's hut from a distance. The thatch is spread in the sun, and the ancient trees cover half of it. The lake is green and sparkling, and the peach blossoms are still blooming brilliantly.

The white shirt on Mr. Huo's body was a little faded. He stood in front of a wooden table, bending down to study something carefully. There were several ancient scrolls spread on the wooden table, and one even shone slightly. You could tell the quality at a glance. Extraordinary level.

only……

During the previous entrance test, Lou Xinzhou was in poor health and could not tell the depth of Huo Lao's strength. Now that he came back, he realized that something was wrong.

"Mr. Huo's cultivation is only Nascent Soul?!"

There are thirty-two peaks in Kunlun and thirty-two elders. The elders of each peak must have reached the point of leaving the body.

Mr. Huo's elder name is appeasement. Since he has a title, it is absolutely impossible for him to be the Nascent Soul. Could there be some hidden secret? When Shao Yunfan came here to investigate the demon cultivators before, he didn't raise any objections. When the leader came back, everything was peaceful within the sect.

Appeasement Elder...

That female ghost always hangs around the burial ground. Could it be related to her?

Lou Xinzhou thought like this, jumped and teleported a few times, and entered the depths of the bone burial ground without being noticed by Mr. Huo at all.

The air conditioning in the burial ground was as cold as ever. The trees were not very lush, but the sun could not penetrate. The moment Lou Xinzhou stepped in, it seemed as if the sky had changed.

The air here is very humid, and the soil is a bit useless for shoes. The black and brown soil climbs up, and it doesn't take long for the feet to become heavy.

Lou Xinzhou went deeper and deeper.

The area open to the entry test is actually just a small corner of the forest. Since you want to find the souls of the dead, you naturally have to go deeper than that.

The light became less and less, the color darkened, and a blue flame suddenly appeared in front of Lou Xinzhou. It flashed in front of her eyes for a few times, and then appeared further ahead.

"Trigger fire?"

It is said that the guide fire is a fire lit by the souls of the dead to guide the living people. Among the people, it is often called a will-o'-wit fire. Lou Xinzhou only thought it was a legend before, but he did not expect it to be true.

Lou Xinzhou followed him, and after walking for who knows how long, a white figure appeared in the middle of the dark forest. It stood quietly, motionless, as if it had been standing here for a hundred years, lonely and indifferent.

There was no life in the deep forest, and the trees were only rough shells. It sensed the popularity and turned around to look over.

The temperature is cooler.

"Huh?" The female ghost's white pupils showed confusion and surprise, "Have you already obtained the golden elixir?"

"Junior Lou Xinzhou, hello, Uncle Zhengyin."

"Uncle Master?"

"Your Majesty, Qi Yuan."

The little girl's voice was childish but calm. Zhengyin didn't know how long she was stunned before she drifted over.

"Is that so? You are smart enough to know who I am." Zhengyin said, looking in the direction of the main peak of Kunlun. Her eyes were so white that she couldn't see her emotions clearly. "Are they all okay? Senior Brother Lingxu, Senior sister, and the leader.”

"Uncle Lingxu and the master uncle are both very good. Master, she...she just passed the Thousand Years Banquet..."

"It turns out that so much time has passed. Has Senior Sister finally overcome the tribulation?"

"Only Mahayana..."

Lou Xinzhou lowered his voice and lowered his head. Under the dim sky, dead branches spread out, lifeless.

Zhengyin's expression also changed. She glanced at Lou Xinzhou in slight surprise. The air was quiet for a moment before she spoke softly.

"You just got started a month ago, and you must have been a disciple for a short time. Why..."

"Master is very kind to me."

Lou Xinzhou knew that Zhengyin was suspicious of her, but he didn't explain much. He just said a few words and stopped talking. Zhengyin waited for a while but didn't see her say anything else. Then he thought of the sallow-faced, thin, ragged child he saw in the woods, and finally had no choice but to Sighed.

"When I went to Tianhai, I got an earth-level magic weapon called Xuanmu. It might be useful."

Lou Xinzhou opened his eyes slightly.

Xuanmu Pearl is the essence of clam essence that takes thousands of years to produce. It can almost be said to be rare in a thousand years. Although I don’t know how long it can extend the life of a Mahayana monk if used for it, but because of this, Lou Xinzhou must go to this secret realm no matter what. go.

"However, I am just a dead soul, not a guardian. I don't know where it will hide its mysterious eyes."

The guardian is the conscious incarnation of the original body of the secret realm. Generally, the guardian of the monk will constantly test those who enter the secret realm to search for treasures or opportunities, and test whether they are qualified to receive the inheritance from their predecessors.

"Uncle Zhengyin, don't worry, I will get it."

After hearing this, Zhengyin nodded slightly. Her eyes were soft and covered by white mist, but their brilliance remained intact, and she could vaguely see the scenery of the past.

"I don't know how the guardians will arrange the secret realm, but they will always rely on the memories of their lifetime. I can't help you with anything, so I will tell you about my previous experiences. The monsters I met and the natural dangers I visited will always be helpful to you in passing the secret realm. It will help."

Zhengyin asked Lou Xinzhou to sit on a stone, and he slowly talked about the past. I don't know how much time passed. The forest gradually became foggy, and the sky became really dark. Many colors of will-o'-the-wisps appeared in the darkness, light green, dark blue, red. The light is erratic, different from the hustle and bustle of the world and the creatures that are destroyed in the war. It is quiet and lonely, sad and happy.

……

"Master Nephew Lou, it's getting late. Please be careful when you go back."

After Zhengyin finished speaking the last sentence, the white figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and the light or dark fire around it slowly faded until it was completely gone.

The moonlight was soft, the wind was light and the clouds were light, Lou Xinzhou returned along the original route.

In the thatched house in front of the forest, the lights were on. Lou Xinzhou glanced at the wooden table in the yard, with various scrolls scattered on it. Thinking of the past events Zhengyin told her, she walked over quietly.

"Appeasement is my eldest disciple. According to seniority, you should call him senior brother. In that battle, I fought with my life and didn't tell that child."

"His talent is actually very good, but he is too stubborn. Back then, he stopped me and refused to let me join the battle. He also said that if I went, I would never practice any more in my life. I just thought it was an angry comment... …”

The light shines through the window and hits the ancient scroll. The words on the scroll are twisted and jumping, crazy and paranoid. After taking a few breaths into his eyes, Lou Xinzhou felt a headache.

"The spirits of life and death..."

Lou Xinzhou spoke very softly, and after an unknown amount of time, he sighed deeply and left quietly.
