Mortals ask the immortals

Thinking like this, Duan Qing turned around and looked at the cabin in the center of the platform. He walked towards the cabin while thinking.

When he walked to the tree stump in front of the cabin, Duan Qing paused for a moment, glanced at the charred stump inadvertently, then retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.

As soon as one foot crossed the threshold of the cabin, Duan Qing suddenly thought of something, turned his head back and glanced at the charred stump again, staring at it thoughtfully.

Could it be...!

"Big brother, are they gone?"

At this time, a pitiful voice sounded, interrupting Duan Qing's thoughts.

Duan Qing came back to his senses, retracted his gaze from the charred stump, and looked into the house.

The furnishings in the cabin were very simple, with a purple bamboo bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a futon on the ground. There was nothing else.

At this time, Xiaozhu was curled up in a corner of the bamboo bed, looking at Duan Qing aggrievedly.

Duan Qing smiled helplessly and nodded: "They're gone!"

Xiao Zhu tried to jump off the bed after hearing this, walked to the door of the hut and looked out. After finding that there was really no one outside, he immediately jumped up happily.

"Haha, the bad guys are gone, Xiao Zhu doesn't like bad guys!"

"Big brother, can you play with Xiao Zhu?"

Looking at the cheerful Xiao Zhu in front of him, Duan Qing acted serious.

"How do you know I'm not a bad guy?"

Xiao Zhu tilted his head, staring at Duan Qing with a pair of clear and bright eyes.

"Big sister said that those who can let Xiao Zhu out are good people. Big brother, you broke the formation, so you must not be a bad person."

"What if Big sister lied to you? Didn't she take your toys and beat you up?" Duan Qing acted vicious.

Xiao Zhu shook his head firmly: "Big sister is not a bad person. Those toys were given to Big sister by Xiao Zhu."

Given?

Duan Qing frowned: "Didn't Xiaozhu say that it was taken away by big sister?"

"That was what big sister taught Xiaozhu to say. She said that if Xiaozhu said that, big brothers, you won't blame Xiaozhu!" Xiaozhu's eyes narrowed with a smile.

Duan Qing was speechless.

This Yu Fei is really interesting!

Why didn't she take Xiaozhu away when she was so protective of her?

At this time, Xiaozhu walked to Duan Qing's feet, pulled the corner of Duan Qing's clothes, and looked up at Duan Qing pitifully.

"Big brother, can you take Xiaozhu out to play? Xiaozhu doesn't want to be left here anymore!"

Duan Qing didn't even think about it, and shook his head to refuse.

This girl named Xiaozhu looks very innocent, and her background should not be simple, but he doesn't have time to take a little girl with him.

"Boy, don't rush to refuse!"

Suddenly, Wuhuji's voice sounded in Duan Qing's mind.

Duan Qing swallowed the words that had already reached his throat, a little puzzled.

"What do you mean, Senior Wu?"

"This girl is not simple, you'd better take her with you." Wu Huji said meaningfully.

"Of course I know that this person is not simple, but you also know my situation. How can the Sui clan have the spare energy to take care of her!"

"Stupid! Don't you realize that this girl is not a flesh and blood body!" Wu Huji was a little disappointed.

Duan Qing was stunned and didn't understand what Wu Huji meant.

He had carefully observed Xiao Zhu with his perception a long time ago. Xiao Zhu's breath was no different from that of ordinary people. How could he not be a flesh and blood body!

"Alas, it's no wonder you can't find it. This girl is a spirit body, and the spirit body is extremely stable. It should have been nurtured for quite a long time, almost the same as ordinary people."

"Please explain it clearly, Senior!" Duan Qing was still a little confused.

"What a wooden head!"

"Do you still remember the Cixu Mountain of Mo Chongzhi of the Shinto Sect?"

After hearing Wu Huji's reminder, Duan Qing reacted immediately.

"Xiao Zhu is a spirit!"

"That's right. Ordinary spirits usually exist in the form of souls and cannot leave the spirit tool they are parasitic on. However, once they are cultivated into a spirit body, they can exist independently from the spirit tool!"

"It's just... there is one thing that makes this king very strange!"

"There are only a few spirits who can cultivate into a spirit body among spirits, and they have all practiced for countless years and have a mind like a demon!"

"This spirit's spirit body is so stable, but its mind is like an unenlightened child. It is obviously unreasonable!"

At this point, Wu Huji fell into silence, as if thinking about the answer to this question.

Duan Qing also pondered.

Suddenly, he glanced in the direction of the door and realized something.

"Senior, since you said Xiaozhu is a spirit, then Xiaozhu must have a spirit inhabited by it. Where is that spirit inhabited now?"

After Duan Qing said this, Wuhuji reacted immediately, as if waking up from a dream, and said: "Yes, there is no spirit in this place. I guess the spirit inhabited by it before has been damaged for some reason!"

"Maybe this spirit in the spirit was affected by this, so that its intelligence was greatly damaged!"

Duan Qing agreed with Wuhuji's statement.

In this way, his previous doubts were explained!

Why did the person who arranged the formation here arrange the formation into an interlocking structure?

The answer...I'm afraid it lies in Xiaozhu.

If Xiaozhu was injured because of the damage to the spirit inhabited by it, before finding a new spirit inhabited by it, it must be nourished with a lot of spiritual energy to keep Xiaozhu's soul alive.

Therefore, the person who set up the formation would specifically add formation patterns that have the effect of gathering spirits into the formation around the hut, which not only absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but also transports the spiritual energy from the underground spiritual veins here.

If we arrange the array pattern for conveying spiritual energy separately, it will undoubtedly be a time-consuming and laborious task. Instead of doing so, it is better to connect the array around the cabin with other arrays in Zixiao Jiuchongzhu, and use the array patterns of other arrays as channels for conveying spiritual energy.

In this way, it can be completed with just a slight change.

Perhaps it is because of this that he caused such a big chain reaction when he broke the array before!

After figuring out the doubts in his heart, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, and his thoughts became much clearer.

Seeing that Duan Qing didn't respond for a long time, Xiaozhu pouted and lowered his head pitifully.

"Big brother, don't you want to take Xiaozhu away!"

Duan Qing came back to his senses, a faint smile appeared on his face and looked at Xiaozhu: "That depends on whether Xiaozhu is obedient."

Hearing this, Xiaozhu raised his head at once, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Good boy, Xiaozhu is the best. Xiaozhu will do whatever big brother tells him to do!"

Duan Qing smiled even more and took off the sword in the gourd from his waist.

"If Xiaozhu can get into this gourd, big brother will take Xiaozhu away."

Xiaozhu looked at the sword in the gourd in Duan Qing's hand, and without saying a word, he turned into a golden stream of light and penetrated into the sword in the gourd.

"Big brother, Xiaozhu is in, you can't regret it!"

"Ah! There are so many toys in it!"

"One, two, three...!"

Xiaozhu seemed to have discovered the 108 virtual swords contained in the sword in the gourd, and began to count them.
