The soil has become refined [Sword Three]

The underground space was very dark, so Xie Qianjun took out a few more Kongming lanterns and scattered them to the four corners.

In the dim light, two sarcophagi lay quietly in the middle.

Xie Qianjun stepped forward cautiously, and carefully observed the two sarcophagi, trying to find out the information about the owners of the two sarcophagi.

But unfortunately, the surface of the sarcophagus was as smooth as new, and there was never a single trace of engraving. Xie Qianjun wiped the wall of the coffin with his fingers, but still found nothing, so he turned around and prepared to check the walls.

"what?"

Suddenly, A Rang's voice sounded from behind him, with a little surprise in his voice, "These two coffins are empty."

Xie Qianjun stopped walking.

Lying-trough?Ah Rang should not really lift other people's coffins, right? !

Xie Qianjun turned around abruptly, and rushed over——

Suddenly, he paused and stopped on the spot in a very twisted posture.

It turned out that A Rang just put his hand on the coffin, and the coffin lid was still on the coffin!

Xie Qianjun breathed a sigh of relief quietly.It's just that his paused posture is too distorted, and he suddenly relaxes, accidentally giving... a bad breath.

I'm out of luck.

Xie Qianjun silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood, thinking in his mind, from ancient times to the present, he is probably the first monk to suffer a bout.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Although the distorted look on Xie Qianjun's face was only fleeting, Ah Rang still ran over.

"It's okay, I just twisted it..." As if remembering something, Xie Qianjun abruptly silenced the word waist.

"Twisted what?" A Rang helped him, and added the second half of his sentence by the way, "Twisted your waist?"

Xie Qianjun: ...I am not, I have not.

Having to choose between a broken breath and a twisted waist, Xie Qianjun decisively chose the broken breath.

"Oh." But it was obvious that Ah Rang was still at a loss as to the meaning of this word, he stretched out his hand and touched some part of Xie Qianjun's upper body, "Does it hurt here?"

"No." Xie Qianjun grabbed his hand and put it on his lower right rib, the corner of his mouth twitched, "It's here, but it's already..."

A Rang bent down, and gently rubbed the place where Xie Qianjun said he was angry, "Does it still hurt?"

"Do not……"

"Fly away with pain~"

Seeing A Rang muttering while blowing, Xie Qianjun's heart softened inexplicably, and he pulled A Rang up, "It's okay, the pain is gone."

"Really?" Ah Rang opened his eyes wide, "Don't lie to me!"

"Well, just for a short while." Xie Qianjun's eyes were full of tenderness, and his tone was very gentle, "It's my fault for worrying Ah Rang."

"Besides," Xie Qianjun raised his hand and rubbed A Rang's head, his lips curled up, his voice was almost doting, "How could I lie to you."

Ah Rang bit his lip, his hand was still covering Xie Qianjun's lower right rib and refused to move away.

Xie Qianjun felt helpless, so he held A Rang's hand and changed the topic, "A Rang, how do you know that there is no one in those two sarcophagi?"

Thinking of A Rang's previous question about whether he could use it as fertilizer, Xie Qianjun was actually a little entangled.

In the cultivation world, there is no tradition that the dead are the greatest. A large part of those small secret realms have been handed down... The graves of the predecessors, and some secret realms were formed naturally, but the number is relatively small, and the hidden objects are also large. More magical, of course, more attractive, but harder to find.

However, after all, Xie Qianjun lived in his twenties before time travelling, and there are still many imprints from his previous life in his heart.

So, do you want to talk to Ah Rang about this?

Before Xie Qianjun could come up with a proper solution, A Rang pressed the two sarcophagi with his hands, "That's it, just press it and you'll know."

Xie Qianjun squeezed A Rang's other palm, guessing

Maybe it's because this stone... also belongs to Ah Rang?

But if this is the calculation, why didn't A Rang notice these two sarcophagi when he was on the ground?

Could it be that……

Xie Qianjun looked towards the bottom of the two sarcophagi.

The two sarcophagi do not seem to be placed directly on the ground, and the place in contact with the ground has——

Xie Qianjun stepped forward, took a closer look, and said uncertainly, "This is... a vine?"

If you don't look carefully, you may think that the intertwined base is carved from black jade.

"This is a mature bloodthirsty vine." A Rang squatted down and explained, "When the bloodthirsty vine is fully mature, the color will turn black, making it difficult to tell whether it is the blood that is too thick to turn black, or whether it is the blood. Because it's too green."

"Then these bloodthirsty vines are already dead?" Xie Qianjun asked uncertainly.

"Dead." A Rang said with certainty, "Brother, help me remove the sarcophagus, the vines of this bloodthirsty vine are still very useful."

***

After placing the two sarcophagi on one side, Xie Qianjun turned his head and saw that A Rang was carefully separating the twisted bloodthirsty vine branches.

The bloodthirsty vine, which was originally hard, became weak and boneless inexplicably under A Rang's hands, obediently.

A Rang divided the pile of vines into two piles, "These vines are relatively tender and can be used to make alchemy," referring to the pile on the far left.

After speaking, he pointed to the right again, "These are very mature rattans, very good for refining weapons."

Xie Qianjun picked up one casually, and knocked it on the wall casually. Hearing the crisp knocking sound and the little sparks from the impact, he commented, "The texture is hard."

"After the bloodthirsty vine is mature, water and fire will not attack it. If you want to hurt it, you can only use various different fires and metals. Ordinary flames and weapons will not do it."

Different fire and different metal?

Is there any other wood, water or soil?

"If you want to say that," A Rang tilted his head, "I can actually be counted in the foreign soil?"

"Perhaps, your personality is higher than them." Xie Qianjun said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ah Yang looked at him suspiciously.

"I just thought about it carefully." Xie Qianjun stretched out his hand and held A Rang's fingers, the tentacles were warm, "Everything in this world is inseparable from soil."

"Ah?" Ah Rang frowned, as if thinking hard, "But I still don't quite understand."

Xie Qianjun simply sat on the ground, put the piano in his hand on his lap, held A Rang with one hand, and tapped lightly on the ground with the other, explaining, "I just figured it out. A Rang, you can feel a person The most authentic emotion at that time was because the other party stepped on the ground, right?"

Aaron nodded.

"And now," Xie Qianjun stretched out his finger, pointing to the two sarcophagi, "Ah Rang didn't feel it when he was on the top, it was because the sarcophagus was held up by these bloodthirsty vine branches, it was equivalent to flying into the air, right?"

"Yes! If these bloodthirsty vine branches are alive, I can feel them too, but they are already dead." A Rang grabbed Xie Qianjun's hand, "Brother is so smart!"

Xie Qianjun smiled casually, pinched A Rang's cheek, and said with a smile, "Because A Rang never concealed anything from me, that's why I can guess so much."

"Uh——Guokuo," A Rang said vaguely because his cheeks were pinched, "It hurts!"

"Let me see." With a smile on the corner of Xie Qianjun's mouth, he touched A Rang's cheek with his fingers, "Fortunately, it's not red."

***

After putting away the bloodthirsty vines, the two walked to the front of the two sarcophagi.

He was thinking about whether to open the coffin to take a look. Although the two sarcophagi were empty, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, there is no need for him to worry about being uncomfortable now.

A Rang had already pushed the coffin lid away forcefully.

At that moment, Xie Qianjun's mind flashed through all kinds of tomb robbery novels he had read in his previous life, all kinds of situations that appeared after opening the coffin lid, all kinds of rice dumplings...

And yet... nothing happened at all.

"There's soil inside." A Rang leaned on the coffin wall, stared at it for a while, and then stretched out his hand——

"Don't touch it!" Xie Qianjun grabbed Ah Rang's hand with a headache.

"It doesn't matter." A Rang looked down at the sand in the sarcophagus, "I already felt it when I touched the sarcophagus just now. It's actually very ordinary soil... Well, it's not right, there is still a piece of soil in it!"

"What?" Xie Qianjun was startled, and hurriedly asked, "But aren't you here?"

"Yeah, I'm here." A Rang used his hand as a comb, inserted it into the sand at the bottom of the coffin, and slowly slid across it. After a while, he grabbed a handful of sand, with his palm facing the sky, and the fine sand flowed from his It fell between the fingers, slowly revealing something in his palm.

It was a piece of dark black soil, and it looked ordinary. If Ah Yang hadn't taken it out specially, Xie Qianjun would not have thought that it was actually the legendary resting soil. He would only think that it was slowly condensed by sand over time. into clods.

***

The small piece of soil was only about the size of a thumb, showing an irregular shape.

"Would you like to pinch it?" A Rang threw the Xi Rang in his palm into Xie Qianjun's hand.

"Be careful!" Xie Qianjun was relieved after the piece of soil fell into the palm of his hand. He held the small piece of soil carefully, and finally squeezed it.

"So soft." Xie Qianjun said in surprise, "It's very similar to...

After thinking about it, Xie Qianjun still felt like the texture of fudge.

"Fudge? What's that?" After hearing Xie Qianjun's words, A Rang leaned over and asked, "With the word candy, is it delicious? Is it sweet? Is it soft?"

"Well, it's a kind of candy," Xie Qianjun swallowed the "unfortunately not here" that came to his lips, looking at Ah Yang's expectant look, and said instead, "However, the production process has been lost, wait for me to research Come out and make it for you to eat."

"Brother is the best!" Ah Rang cheered.

Xie Qianjun rubbed his head, "Good boy." At the same time, he returned the small piece of Xi Yang to A Rang, and asked a question that he had forgotten because of A Rang's interruption, "Why is there still a piece of rice here? A small piece of soil?"

Haven't you already...become refined?

"How should I say it?" A Rang tilted his head, "Since Xi Rang was born, he has been artificially divided into many pieces. In fact, the largest piece," A Rang stretched out his palm, "is as big as the entire palm. Woolen cloth!"

The corner of Xie Qianjun's mouth twitched, "Well, compared with this small piece, it's really quite big."

After pausing for a moment, Xie Qianjun asked again, "So, your body is the biggest piece of soil?" He stretched out his palm, and lightly clasped it on Ah Rang's outstretched palm, and the small piece Xiyang is in the palms of the two of them.

A Rang nodded, "That's right."

"Then..." Xie Qianjun asked, "How do you integrate this divided Xiyang?"

"Should..." A Rang picked up the small piece of soil with two fingers, stared at it for a while, and said, "Eat it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the small piece of breath soil into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

Xie Qianjun: ...? ? ?

Is it so simple and rude?

***

After nervously waiting for half a stick of incense, Xie Qianjun asked countless times, "Do you feel unwell?"

A Rang answered without hesitation, "No discomfort."

In order to show that he was really okay, Ah Yang jumped up before Xie Qianjun could speak, and opened another coffin, "This one is really empty."

"The previous bite you also

Say it's empty? "Xie Qianjun said.

It turned out that there was fine sand and another small piece of soil in the other coffin.

"This time it's really empty, there's nothing there." A Rang waved at Xie Qianjun, "If you don't believe me, come and see."

Xie Qianjun stood beside A Rang and looked into the coffin.

It was empty indeed.

It's like a sarcophagus just made, not even the fine sand in the other one.

After looking at each other for a while, the two tacitly put back the lid of the coffin.

In the current situation, either the two sarcophagi are a mystery created by the owner of the small secret realm, or... the owner of the two sarcophagi left by himself.

***

However, no matter what the possibility is, they should leave.

They stayed in this secret realm for too long, but the rewards were quite rich. Xie Qianjun held A Rang's hand and bowed slightly to the two coffins, saying, "Let's leave now."

"Yeah!" Ah Yang nodded.

Exiting the underground space, Xie Qianjun and A Rang looked at each other, and finally decided to leave with the lantern moss.

When the lantern moss was taken out by A Rang, the depression on the mountain wall and the downward passage disappeared without a trace.

And this is just the beginning.

Dull voices came from all directions, and cracks began to slowly appear on the ground and mountain walls.

"Crack-"

"Crack tick-"

The crackling sound became louder and louder, Xie Qianjun picked up A Rang, tossed and turned in the air, avoiding countless collapsing rocks.

Xie Qianjun took the time to open the map, and the map at this time was completely different from the one covered by clouds and fog.

The trails, mountains, and rivers of the entire small secret realm are listed on it, and there is even a... person.

For some reason, this person was motionless, and happened to be stuck on the only way to leave.

While Xie Qianjun was leading Ah Rang to speed on the road away, he was getting ready for the encounter.

However, when they actually met, Xie Qianjun only hesitated for a moment before deciding to help.

He knew this man.

"Ah Rang, bring him along." When Xie Qianjun performed the great lightness kung fu, at most he would bring one person with him, after all, Changgemen had two-person lightness kung fu.

However, Qing Xiao Feiyu's escape from the system's confinement earlier gave Xie Qianjun some confidence.

Nothing will change if you don't try.

A Rang was very obedient, Xie Qianjun ordered, he threw out the previous bloodthirsty vine and tied him up.

Bloodthirsty vines are invulnerable to water and fire, and hard to hurt with sharp blades, so that person was bound tightly.

And at the moment of being tied up, it seemed that a certain balance was broken, and the other party seemed to be finally able to break free from the previous sluggish state.

"Who are you?" After seeing the situation of the collapse of the secret realm, the rescued man shuddered and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the bloodthirsty vines that bound him were not so easy to break free.

In such a short moment, the other party has already weighed his own position.

"Thank you both... for saving..." Although he couldn't move, the man still tried to turn his head, trying to see clearly who saved him, so that he could repay his kindness in the future.

After all, for monks, cause and effect is also a very important part.

If you want to ascend completely, you need to realize the cause and effect.

Xie Qianjun and A Rang had no time to respond for the time being. When Xie Qianjun ran away, A Rang was not idle either. He was using his ability to help stabilize the surroundings so that the three of them could really escape.

***

After the three of them finally left the small secret realm, Xie Qianjun discovered that the matter was far from over.

The valley covered by layers of clouds is also collapsing.

Fortunately, the man who was rescued was very kind.

, "The two fellow daoists can let go of this subordinate, and can also reduce some burdens."

In the next moment, A Rang let go of the person very neatly.

other side:…………

Caught off guard, the man fell straight down, but the other party quickly adjusted, walked with the sword, and rushed straight up.

Several people stopped at a high place and looked at the collapsed crack from afar. Xie Qianjun frowned, the movement was too loud, and he didn't know if it would arouse others' curiosity.

However, it is useless to be curious now, unless the cracks that have been completely filled can be completely cleaned up.

Sighing, Xie Qianjun looked at the man saved by himself and A Rang.

This person has a good appearance, his eyes are like lacquer, his nose is like a gall, his eyebrows are drawn into his temples, and he looks extremely rigid.

"I'm Yu Yancong, the inkstone of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Cong Lan wants to show off. Thank you two for saving your life." The man bowed his hands.

Xie Qianjun just slightly raised his hand, and declined, "It's just a little effort."

"It's a piece of cake for fellow Taoists, but it's a life-saving grace for me." Yu Yancong said sincerely.

In the situation in the small secret realm, how can you take care of others when you can't take care of yourself?An inadvertent move could even implicate himself.

Therefore, although Xie Qianjun was modest, Yu Yancong would not be so shameless.

"I wonder if the two fellow daoists can tell you their names?" He asked again.If you want to repay your kindness in the future, you should always know the other person's name.

"My surname is Xie, and my first name is Qianjun. Qianjun is as important as Qianjun." It is not Qianjun who is as heavy as Qianjun.

Xie Qianjun hesitated for a while, and finally pointed to A Rang and said, "This is my younger brother, called A Rang."

He didn't say that Ah Rang's surname was Xi. After all, Xi and Rang together were a bit easy to associate, especially after getting that small piece of Xi Rang.

As for A Rang's future surname, Xie Qianjun decided to discuss it with A Rang after Yan Cong left.

However, Ah Rang's reaction to this was very ordinary, "Then I will be called Xie Rang from now on, it's really nice!"

Xie Qianjun: ...

***

When they returned to Xuancang Gate again, Xie Qianjun and A Rang felt as if they were separated from each other for a moment, looking at the small wooden houses.

The gate of Xuancangmen has not been decorated too much, only a huge stone has been erected, on which the words Xuancangmen are engraved with vigorous handwriting.

"Squeak!"

A series of monkey calls came from a distance.

After a while, a monkey hung upside down from the tree in front of Xie Qianjun and A Rang, it was the monkey that led the way earlier.

At this time, it was dancing and screaming non-stop.

Xie Qianjun was frowned by the noise, and before he could speak, a fat weasel appeared beside the monkey, and raised a paw tremblingly to say hello, "Thank... Elder Xie, You are finally back."

"You can talk?" Ah Yang exclaimed.

"Just learned." The chinchilla scratched its head with its paws, and said with a smile, "I also want to thank Mr. Yang for the spiritual plants left behind, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to practice for another three or four years to become a human being." Word."

Generally speaking, beasts are divided into three types.

One is a wild beast, without aura in the body, corresponding to the most ordinary mortal;

The second is a spirit beast, which has aura in its body, but has not yet activated its intelligence. It is suitable for monks to eat, and its fur and bones can also be used as materials for alchemy and weapon refining;

The third is a monster, which has opened up its spiritual wisdom and can speak human words, but has not yet cultivated into a human body.And the step of opening the spiritual wisdom is also the most difficult step. Many spirit beasts have lived for tens of millions of thousands of years, but they can still only be spirit beasts.

And when monsters cultivate into human bodies, they are actually no different from ordinary people. Unless the cultivation method is special, or there are some adventures in themselves, otherwise, most monks will not be able to see their original bodies. What is it.

And this weasel was just a spirit beast before they entered that small secret realm, but it had already become a monster beast when they returned.

Apparently, it had adventures during this time.

As for the reason for the adventure...it was naturally because of the weeds that A Rang casually gave them before.

For the Yaoxiu, the little weed grass is no different from the Shiquan Dabu Dan, but it can open up the spiritual wisdom, after all, because this weasel has a chance and understanding.

If I didn't look at the monkey, I could only be squeaking, and I don't know when it will be enlightened.

"Elder Xie, Mr. Rang, the sect masters are worried about you!" While walking, the weasel said, "The girl named Ning Xun and that girl A Liao are still locked up now!"

"Oh?" Xie Qianjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he figured out the reason for this.

When he first entered that small secret realm, he finally chose to break free from Ning Xun's grip on him, but he never let go of A Rang.

At that time, he had no other thoughts to care about the safety of Ning Xun and his group, so he could only take care of himself and Ah Yang first.

Now it seems that Ning Xun, A Liao, and the little monkey have returned safely.

Thinking about it, probably because Ning Xun and A Liao came out earlier than himself and A Rang, Yunlin was worried about his and A Rang's safety, so he "forcibly" detained them.

In case he and Ah Yang really couldn't come back, then Yunlin's action would offend people, especially an alchemist.

Thinking of this, Xie Qianjun felt a slight warmth in his heart. Sure enough, he had never misjudged Yunlin.

"I have nothing to do with Ah Rang." Xie Qianjun smiled and said, "Yun Lin is still inside the door at this time?"

"Here I am!"

Xie Qianjun nodded slightly, "In that case, you lead the way."

After walking along the bluestone path behind the boulder for a while, there was a sudden gurgling water in front of my eyes, and there were a few small boats in the water, and the small boats were sitting... little people?

After seeing Xie Qianjun and A Rang clearly, a group of villains who were still chattering suddenly jumped into the water and turned into mushrooms with long handles, shaking in the bottomless water.

Xie Qianjun: ... What is this thing?Looks like enoki mushrooms that live in water.

"It's a water mandrill." A Rang squatted down and stroked the water a few times with his fingers, "Where did you find it?"

The author has something to say: I, back, come, come!Thanks to the cuties who haven't given up on Ah Rang!

I don’t have a V yet, so I can’t update it as I like, but I will get more free chapters as soon as possible~ After V, I can update it at will~
