Mind Cultivation Record

Half a month after the sword fighting meeting ended, a shocking news came from the Five Elements Sect: Xiao Mian, the leader of this sword fighting meeting, died of serious injuries and his body and soul disappeared!

This news was like a boulder smashed into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

With the end of the Nascent Soul Dharma Assembly, tens of thousands of monks left the Five Elements Sect and spread the news as quickly as possible. Within a few days, everyone knew about it.

Many monks who had seen Xiao Mian's grace in the sword fighting meeting felt very sad. Of course, many of them were gloating over the news of Xiao Mian's death.

At this time, Xiao Mian put on Li Muchao's human skin mask, wore a black outfit, and a gauze hat on his head, which was completely different from the long gown he wore in the past.

Xiao Mian did not rush to Wan Zongyuan, but headed eastward and came to his hometown, the small green mountain. Seeing the maze array operating safely, Xiao Mian was half relieved. After bypassing the maze, Xiao Mian came to the graves of his parents and Xiao Chuxue.

As the saying goes, if parents are around, you will have to travel well if you don’t travel far away.

Now Xiao Mian's parents are dead, but his life and death are uncertain during this long journey, so Xiao Mian wants to come back to pay homage to his parents, even though they are just two empty tombs.

After that, Xiao Mian made a non-stop trip to Lingchuanfang City. After learning that Chi Lianxia was brought back by Grandma Li in Wanxiangzhai, he went into seclusion to heal her injuries.

Xiao Mian originally wanted to meet Chi Lianxia, ​​but Granny Li sternly refused. He said that after Chi Lianxia heals his injuries, he will try to form an elixir and it is not appropriate to be distracted by other things. In desperation, Xiao Mian had to leave three healing herbs collected by Li Muchao and float away.

Xiao Mian was naturally grateful to Chi Lianxia.

Not only because Chi Lianxia tried to test Lu Chengzhi for him even though she was injured that day, but also because Chi Lianxia once gave Xiao Mian a jade slip. The secret technique engraved on that jade slip was from the Demon Shadow Sect. The supreme skill - "The Great Technique of Transforming Shadows into Gods and Demons"!

Although Xiao Mian didn't practice after getting it, he still studied it a lot, because he knew that there would be many things that he would have to do against the Demonic Shadow Sect in the future. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be able to win a hundred battles. I think Chi Lianxia thought the same way.

Sure enough that night, Xiao Mian faced ancestor Yuan Yan's shadow attendant.

It was precisely because of studying "The Great Technique of Transforming Shadows into Gods and Demons" that Xiao Mian came up with the idea of ​​using a self-destructing gold-plated war puppet to contain the Shadow Warrior.

It's a pity that Shadow Warrior is in the realm of Jindan monk after all. In the end, if Xiao Mian hadn't used the Sanqing Divine Light by accident, he would have died long ago.

Now that I heard that Chi Lianxia had also begun to form pills, Xiao Mian was happy for her, but he also couldn't help but think to himself, it seemed that he had to speed up his practice.

After all, when they were both in the foundation building stage, Xiao Mian could still fight Lu Chengzhi vigorously, but if Lu Chengzhi formed a pill, Xiao Mian would only be killed.

With this in mind, Xiao Mian turned around and headed north, arriving at the Northern Wilderness Prairie where he had lived for several years.

The grassland remains the same, but things and people have changed.

Without any time to sigh, Xiao Mian returned to the burial place of the Fire Beast Clan, which was the big black stone where he first met the ghost head.

After putting away the phalanx that he had abandoned here, Xiao Mian put it into the forbidden spirit box. In this way, he would naturally not be afraid of the spiritual energy leaking out.

Seeing that the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Grass was still floating carefree in the deep pool of the underworld, Xiao Mian put down most of his mind. After all, it can be seen from the fact that the ancestors of Yuanying were willing to fight for it. Absolutely a rare treasure.

Although to this day, Xiao Mian still does not know what grade and category the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Grass floating in the underworld pond is, but this does not hinder the status of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Grass in Xiao Mian's mind.

If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Grass that could not leave the netherworld, Xiao Mian would really be worried about letting such a treasure out of his sight.

Under Guitou's guidance, Xiao Mian arranged a rather exquisite illusion formation near the Underworld Pond, covering the entire Underworld Pond.

According to Guitou, in this way, even if an ordinary golden elixir expert accidentally enters it, it is impossible to see the clues - of course this is just self-deception. If a golden elixir expert discovers this cave, not to mention the Huangquan Youtan and the The Ten Thousand Years Spirit Grass in the pool and the mountain of flaming animal skins were enough to drive them crazy.

Therefore, Xiao Mian could only hope that no one would discover this place.

Fortunately, there is no trace of spiritual energy in the entire Northern Wilderness Prairie, nor are there any famous spiritual materials. Ordinary monks will not come to such a place in a thankless manner.

While comforting himself like this, Xiao Mian planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guitou, who had helped Xiao Mian set up the illusion array, lingered and refused to return to Xiao Mian's body.

"Old Ghost, are you planning to live in seclusion here? The wind blows here and the sky is dark, which is in line with your old aesthetics!"

"roll!"

An angry curse interrupted Xiao Mian's teasing, and the ghost head suddenly flew out of the secret cave, came to the big black stone, and flew left and right, with a solemn and thoughtful expression.

When Xiao Mian saw something different, he didn't dare to interrupt.

"This place looks so familiar!"

"Nonsense! According to what your old self said, you have been here for tens of thousands of years, how can you not be familiar with it?" Seeing that Guitou had been pondering for a long time and only came up with such nonsense, Xiao Mian couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. But I heard Guitou continue to say: "No! I mean this big stone! It feels so familiar..."

"Big rock? You never said you knew this big rock back then!"

"Nonsense! Back then, I had just escaped from trouble, my memory was incomplete, and my soul was on the verge of collapse. How could I remember so much? But thanks to your great uncle, after absorbing his soul, my soul has solidified a lot. I also remembered a lot of things that I couldn’t remember before. This big stone is definitely related to me!”

"Could it be that someone is displeased with you and used this big stone to suppress you?"

"Fart! I've always been the only one to suppress others. How can it be someone else's turn to suppress me?" Seeing Xiao Mian playing against him again and again, Guitou cursed angrily, but as soon as he finished speaking, Guitou suddenly froze. , and then exclaimed: "This...this big stone, damn it! This is my magic weapon back then!"

"No way! Are you suppressed by your own magic weapon?"

"I don't know! Things seemed to be very big back then. Many people were grabbing for one thing, and many people died. In the end... in the end... ah——!"

The ghost head that was talking to himself suddenly shrank and swelled, sometimes illusory and sometimes solid, obviously on the verge of becoming obsessed.

Xiao Mian was horrified when he saw it, and quickly evolved the physical properties of the soul-fixing incense to the extreme to help Guitou condense his body.

For a long time, Guitou gasped for breath and whispered with lingering fear.

"It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous! It's even scarier than the underworld!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know! I just know that what happened that year was absolutely extraordinary. It left an unbearable impression deep in my soul. Once I want to recall it, I will fall into a state of obsession, and I will inevitably lose my mind in the end." Seeing that Xiao Mian was doubtful, Guitou muttered angrily: "In other words: this soul body itself has set up a warning line: it would rather die than think about the past. In the mind of the soul, the past events are more important than the self. Destruction is even more terrible!"

"Is it—spiritual warfare?"

"No! Although the word spiritual warfare has never been heard of, I have no respect for these two words themselves. Spiritual warfare should have only appeared after my death."

"You don't have to think too much about it, old ghost. An immortal like you can earn one more day by living, so why bother worrying about things that happened thousands of years ago?"

"Hmph! Those words of yours are really comforting!"

"I dare to ask Mr. Ghost, what exactly is this big black stone magic weapon of yours?"

"……,have no idea!"

"……,you are vicious!"

"Don't worry, kid! Although I have forgotten many things, with my old taste, can a magic weapon that is attractive to my old man be junk? This big black stone must be the magic weapon among magic weapons. Regardless of other, Just talking about this material, this color, this shape, even many spiritual treasures, I’m afraid they can’t even be matched!”

"Stop it! Old man, let's go first!"

"Tch! If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot!"

No matter how much Guitou cursed, Xiao Mian just walked out of the secret cave without hesitation.

But in private, Xiao Mian kept everything Guitou said in his heart.

Only when Guitou completely recovers his memory in the future, or if his own strength reaches a certain level, can he take the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Grass in the Underworld Pond, and by the way, take away the big black stone that is regarded as the burial ground by the Fire Beast Clan. .

Although Guitou couldn't explain it after talking for a long time, Xiao Mian still believed Guitou's words.

After a while, Xiao Mian walked out of the secret cave and returned to Huoyun Ridge on a whim. He randomly found a few huge red maples and opened them, but he didn't see any trace of gold in the wood.

Seeing Guitou looking at him with a snort and a sneer, and remembering the helpless look on his face when the fire beast Qingjing shook his head, Xiao Mian knew that the gold in the wood might no longer be available.

No longer paying attention to the red maples on that ridge, Xiao Mian calmly turned around and drifted away.

I saw a black shadow speeding across the northern wilderness prairie, heading west along the wind-swept grassland, determined and determined, without any hesitation.

Head all the way to the west and go straight to Wan Zongyuan!
