The soil has become refined [Sword Three]

"This secret realm looks like..." A Rang looked around, "It looks so weird."

The secret realms Ah Rang has experienced, apart from the Extreme Intent Secret Realm, are the secret realms that hide the ancient pill formula, and the current secret realm is the third one he has experienced.

However, this secret place is different from the previous ones, it is very hot here.

A Rang resisted the urge to take off his clothes, frowned and said, "Is there a strange fire here?"

"Perhaps, it's really a strange fire." Zong Mo said.

He glanced around, a thought flashed in his eyes.

Here... something familiar.

However, perhaps the time interval was too long, even Zong Mo himself was a little uncertain about where to go.

"What should we do next?" A Rang grabbed A Liao who was like a headless chicken, "A Liao, calm down!"

"I know I should calm down, but..." A Liao hesitated to speak, his eyes were full of worry, "If I go late, the master..."

"No." A Yang said firmly, "Ning Xun will not let himself fall into such a dangerous situation."

So, Ah Rang turned to look at Zong Mo, "What shall we do next?"

Zong Mo shook his head, "I don't know either."

A Rang thought for a while, and pulled A Liao behind him, "Then how about this, I'll use vines to explore the way in front, Zong Mo, how about you at the back?"

Zong Mo had no objection, "Of course."

He looked at A Rang who was walking in front. When Elder Xie was not around, it seemed that little Elder Xie... always imitated Elder Xie intentionally or unintentionally.

***

On the other side, Gou Xue was forced to move her nose, and after trying to distinguish it, she pointed in a direction, "It should be there."

"Should?" Xie Qianjun's tone was gloomy, "What I want is confirmation."

Gou Xue cowardly shrunk herself into a ball and explained, "My nose tells me it's that direction!"

Xie Qianjun narrowed his eyes and looked at Gou Xue for a while, and after a while, said, "Forget it."

Gou Xue's ears immediately perked up, huh?Can I go back by myself?

Although she only came out for less than a quarter of an hour, she already missed the other little guys!Including the white mink Shuangming who always likes to use her as a pillow!

However, Elder Xie's next action made her ears droop again.

Hey... Elder Xie took her away again...

Stopping and stopping, Gou Xue kept using her nose to determine the direction to go, and finally came to a place that looked like a canyon.

Gou Xue sniffed vigorously, then looked at Xie Qianjun pitifully, "Well, Elder Xie, it's really tasteless, little Elder Xie seems to have disappeared around here..."

"Disappeared?" Xie Qianjun murmured.

In the world of self-cultivation, there are many possibilities for a person's taste to suddenly disappear.

So... what kind of circumstances did Ah Rang disappear from?

Xie Qianjun carefully observed his surroundings.

At the end of the long and narrow mountain road is a valley, in which birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, like a paradise.

however……

Xie Qianjun always felt that something was wrong.

He frowned, stretched out his hand suddenly, and threw out a talisman.

In Xuancangmen, the array monkey Hou Jingqiu has been studying the formation technique, while Huang Qingwen, the weasel who has been with him for a long time, chose the talisman.

The talisman that Xie Qianjun threw out just now was figured out by the partnership of these two people.

If you suspect that there is a phantom formation ahead, then as long as you throw out this talisman, as long as it is not too difficult, most of the formations will be deciphered.

For those who are not proficient in Xuancangmen

For those who are not legal, this formation-breaking talisman is really good news.

So as soon as it was figured out, it was divided up by several people.

At this moment, what Xie Qianjun threw out was naturally one of the Formation Breaking Talismans.

After the formation breaking talisman was thrown into the air, it seemed as if it hit some barrier, and suddenly it ignited spontaneously without wind.

After that talisman was burned out, what appeared in the eyes of Xie Qianjun and Gou Xue was no longer the Taoyuan Wonderland, but the purgatory on earth.

"Ah—" Gou Xue's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Fortunately, she still knew to keep quiet, so she immediately covered her mouth with both hands.

There are corpses everywhere in this valley.

Some corpses looked very fresh, as if they had just died, while some corpses were beginning to decompose, and some were even half decomposed. The rotten flesh was full of maggots, which looked very disgusting. Turned into a pair of bones.

However, more are still charred corpses.

Compared to those corpses that were decomposed in different places, Gou Xue felt that those bones were still very pleasing to the eye.

And once the phantom formation was broken, the smell of rotting corpses also permeated the air. The smell was very unpleasant. Xie Qianjun wanted to seal his sense of smell directly, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

just in case……

No, there will be no accidents!Xie Qianjun comforted himself in his heart.

Although the blue dots representing A Rang and the others still don't know where they are, Xie Qianjun can clearly see in the Jiansan system that they are not dead, and their blood bars haven't even dropped much.

Therefore, they must be in a place they don't know, and they are safe for a short time, but after a long time, no one knows what will happen.

Xie Qianjun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Calm down, be calm.

Once a person enters a state of anxiety, he often loses his mind. Even if he does not lose his mind, he will be controlled by his emotions, thus missing some obvious clues.

Gou Xue has been cowardly following behind Xie Qianjun. Ever since she was born... no, she has been enlightened, she has never seen such a cruel scene!

She... she's just a child, and it's only natural to be afraid!

Gou Xue tried hard to persuade herself in her heart.

however……

"Ah——" Gou Xue stepped on something on the bottom of her feet, slipped, and sat down on the ground, and then met the eyes of the black eye sockets of a skull...

"Don't bark!" Xie Qianjun directly covered Gou Xue's mouth.

"Woooooo!" Gou Xue was about to go crazy, Elder Xie was really not gentle at all!

After being covered for a long time, Gou Xue finally overcame the fear in her heart, and tried hard to break Xie Qianjun's hand away, and said softly, "Elder Xie, I'm fine."

"En." Xie Qianjun responded lightly, ignored Gou Xue, and continued to search for a possible entrance to the secret realm.

Gou Xue moved herself carefully, and finally let herself land in a fairly clean place.

"Huh?" Gou Xue seemed to have discovered something, "Elder Xie, there seems to be a pit here!"

"What pit?" Xie Qianjun walked over.

Gou Xue pointed to the hole near the mountain wall, "It looks like it should have been dug a long time ago."

Xie Qianjun squatted down#, picked up the dirt on the ground and rubbed it, "Looking at the situation, it may have been decades."

"Then it might be Elder Xie and the others..." Gou Xue tentatively said.

"Try it and you'll know." Xie Qianjun narrowed his eyes to look at the hole, and suddenly stretched out his hand. He didn't know how he moved. In short, the next moment, the hole suddenly expanded a few points, and the size was almost enough. Xie Qianjun went in.

Gou Xue swallowed, "Elder Xie, do you want to go down?"

"Ah."

"Well, you have to take

fuck me! "Hou Xue immediately said with a mournful face, "Elder Xie, don't abandon me!" "

Although there are only a group of dead people here, but!Some dead people just died not long ago!It means that someone has been here in a short time!

In case Gou Xue stayed here alone and was discovered...

Just thinking about the consequences made Gou Xue shudder.

Xie Qianjun himself had no intention of leaving Gou Xue behind, although this time he forced Gou Xue to bring him to find someone, but he would definitely protect Gou Xue's safety.

"I'll go down first." Xie Qianjun looked at the dark hole, "If nothing happens, you can come down again."

"Elder Xie..." Gou Xue looked at him pitifully, "I don't want to stay up there alone QAQ"

Xie Qianjun pursed his lips, "But this hole can't..."

"I can shrink myself!" Gou Xue said immediately, "As long as you let me hold your skirt!"

This……

Xie Qianjun glanced at the corpses around him, then at Gou Xue, and finally nodded in agreement.

***

"It seems like we've been walking for a long time." A Rang felt the heat of the flames and said worriedly, "Zong Mo, did we encounter a ghost hitting the wall?"

Zong Mo didn't say a word, he was trying to find something related to this secret realm in his memory.

Seeing that Zong Mo didn't speak, A Rang couldn't help sighing, thinking in his heart, "It would be great if my brother was here."

My brother will definitely find a way.

No matter when it was, Ah Rang always had confidence in Xie Qianjun.

Thinking of Xie Qianjun, Ah Yang cheered up again.

If his predictions are correct, the things in this small secret realm are likely to be strange fires.

As for the different fire, it has a good effect on improving the refining of elixirs, because some spiritual plants use different fires for refining, and they will soften faster.

Xie Qianjun has always used ordinary flames for refining. If possible, Ah Yang actually has some selfish intentions. He hopes to see the strange fire in this secret realm taken out and given to Xie Qianjun.

However, Ah Rang also knows the priorities of the matter, and the most important thing right now is to find Ning Xun.

What did Chi Shaoyun bring Ning Xun to this secret realm for?

Ah Rang asked himself in his mind.

Could it be also because of the strange fire?

Different fires are similar to other different metals, they can be met but not sought.

Unless it is an alchemist with a big background, there are very few alchemists who can use different fires.

Using different fires to make alchemy is a shortcut, but if one's control over the different fires is not smooth enough, it may also backfire on oneself.

because……

Strictly speaking, things like strange fires are actually spiritual.

Although it is not considered to have opened up spiritual wisdom, it will also have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.How can there be freedom and comfort when being manipulated by others?

Therefore, once something goes wrong with the owner of the strange fire and cannot completely suppress the strange fire, maybe it will be swallowed by the strange fire in the future.

and many more!

Ah Rang suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could this be Chi Shaoyun's purpose?

Chi Shaoyun knew that compared with a top alchemist, he was very uncompetitive. In order to prevent the young alchemist he had spent so much time training from being abducted by Xie Qianjun, he simply spent all his money and brought Ning Xun here to assist him. He got the strange fire?

No, not quite right.

A Rang shook his head, if that's the case, according to the situation of the little alchemist Ning Xun is playing now, he can't control the strange fire at all!

Unless it is to pick a handful!

However, separating the different fires is much more difficult than taking them away directly!

The bigger the strange fire, the stronger the ability. If a palm-sized strange fire is split into countless small candles,

seedlings, then the lethality of each small flame will be greatly reduced.

Whether it is a person or a thing, they all yearn for strength. If they are separated forcibly, it will inevitably cause the counterattack of the strange fire. If they are not prepared, they may be burned directly!Charcoal that becomes a human form!

This is no joke!

I don't know if Ning Xun knows about this, but I just hope that Chi Shaoyun really cares about that little alchemist, otherwise...

A Rang recalled the appearance of Ning Xun being burned to charcoal for a moment in his mind, and couldn't help shivering.

"no!"

"What's wrong?" Zong Mo and A Liao looked at A Rang in unison.

"Ah..." Ah Rang scratched his head, "I am, a bad idea just appeared in my mind just now, so"

A Liao opened his mouth, and the worried look in his eyes became more intense, "Elder Xiao Xie, what did you think of just now?"

"Nothing!" Ah Rang subconsciously said.

"Is there any danger in this secret realm?" A Liao hurriedly asked, "Does Elder Xie know something?"

"If Elder Xie thinks of something, please say so." Zong Mo also chimed in, "Whether it's true or not, it always gives us another place to think, doesn't it?"

"But..." A Rang glanced at A Liao subconsciously, he was worried that A Liao would be the first to be unable to stand after he said what he just thought.

"I can feel that the master's life is not in danger yet." A Liao bowed solemnly at A Rang, "But if it drags on, I'm afraid..."

Ah Rang bit his lip, "Then I really said it?"

"I also ask Elder Xie for advice."

***

After listening to Ah Rang's guess, a light flashed in Zong Mo's mind, and he remembered how he walked in this small secret place back then!

but……

Because of Zong Mo's own rebirth, coupled with the appearance of Xie Qianjun and A Rang, the development of things began to change to varying degrees.

Just like the current secret place, before Zong Mo broke in, no one else had discovered it.

And that small secret realm back then, it seems that there was no strange fire...

No, not right.

Maybe, the original strange fire was taken out by someone?

Not right either.

Zong Mo quickly denied this guess. If someone could take out the strange fire, then why would those treasures of heaven and earth remain?

unless……

It was Yihuo who ran away by himself!

When this idea appeared in Zong Mo's mind, Xie Qianjun on the other side just bumped into Ning Xun and Chi Shaoyun.

***

"You..." Xie Qianjun looked at Ning Xun...no, he should call his disguised identity at this time, "Lu Xiao, why are you here?"

Then, Xie Qianjun's eyes fell on the person beside him, "This one?"

Lu Xiao's personality was a shy and quiet little alchemist, so he didn't say much after meeting Xie Qianjun. He didn't say much until Xie Qianjun asked, "This one is my friend, Young Master Yun."

Yun Shao?

Chi Shaoyun turned upside down?

Xie Qianjun couldn't help but began to complain about the aliases of these people, which were really nothing new.

However, he changed his mind and remembered that he had obtained a name for A Rang before, and then silently put back the complaint just now.

No way, he seems to have done the same thing himself.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Yun." Xie Qianjun said calmly.

Chi Shaoyun clasped his fists in salute, "I've heard about Elder Xie's name for a long time, and it's really a blessing to meet you this time."

"Are you sure it's a blessing?" Xie Qianjun asked him back.

Since the few people met in this secret realm, many things were just hidden away.

Just pretending to be confused.

Chi Shaoyun paused, but he was not angry, "It is a blessing to be able to meet a top alchemist."

"Oh." Xie Qianjun nodded, curled his lips, and smiled, "Since that's the case, how about the two of you giving me this strange fire?"

"Elder Xie was joking." Chi Shaoyun said neither humble nor overbearing, "Lu Xiao and I first discovered this strange fire, so we can't give it to Elder Xie."

Xie Qianjun looked Chi Shaoyun up and down, and then picked out a classic line from a novel he had read, "If I say no, what can you do? Speaking of which, things like different fires can also be separated Well, according to Lu Xiao's strength, it is really difficult to control the whole group of different fires now, so let's do it."

Xie Qianjun pretended to be thinking, "Give me the main flame, and I can give Lu Xiao as much as I want."

"Elder Xie, I'm afraid this matter will not work." Chi Shaoyun said unhurriedly, "This strange fire cannot be separated."

"Oh?" Xie Qianjun raised his eyebrows, "That's not what I heard before."

"If you forcibly separate the different fires, I'm afraid you will be harmed by them!"

"Like, is that the charred corpse in the valley?"

As soon as Xie Qianjun said this, everyone present fell into silence.

Lu Xiao didn't understand the meaning of Xie Qianjun's words, but Chi Shaoyun's expression was a little ugly.

Without him, because it means that the secret that once belonged to him alone is no longer a secret.

"I don't know, but Elder Xie also likes to break into other people's houses."

"You're wrong!" Xie Qianjun retorted immediately, "There is no one's name written on the front of the valley. If so, it belongs to everyone. What if I go in and rush in?"

"But that valley has clearly set up a formation!"

"Then there's nothing we can do." Xie Qianjun said rascally, but his gaze towards Chi Shaoyun was as cold as an ice pick, "I just have a problem, when I see something protected by a formation, I want to take that The formation is broken."

"you!"

The color on Chi Shaoyun's face had turned red, obviously he was really angry.

However, Xie Qianjun was even angrier than Chi Shaoyun.

At this moment, he had almost guessed where the corpses in that valley came from.

That should be a famous alchemist.

Those charred corpses were most likely unlucky ghosts who could not withstand the strange fire and were directly eaten back by the strange fire, while others were not burned to death...

Before coming down again, Xie Qianjun briefly inspected those corpses, most of them died from a sneak attack from behind.

The one who can bring them here is probably Chi Shaoyun.

Xie Qianjun didn't know why Chi Shaoyun brought people here, but then killed them.

All he knew was that these people were dead.

This is enough.

***

When A Rang and Zong Mo were frowning because of the ghost hitting the wall, A Rang suddenly slapped himself on the head, "Oh! I remembered!"

"what?"

"Before I left, I went to Qingwen to get some formation breaking talismans! Isn't this ghost hitting a wall a form of formation! It's just for a try!"

After finishing speaking, A Rang didn't wait for Zong Mo and the others to speak, and threw out a handful of formation-breaking talismans.

In the next instant, flames ignited in the air.

Layer after layer of formations were broken.

When the formation was broken, the faces of the people became a bit clearer, as if they were looking at people through the moving water waves before, and they couldn't see clearly, but now...

A real fairyland of peach blossoms appeared in front of several people.

Only then did Zong Mo completely match up the place with the appearance in his memory.

However, after rebirth so far, those spiritual plants that had excited him so much in the previous life, at this time Zong Mo

In my eyes, it was not enough to see.

The same is true for A Rang, he wandered around the Taoyuan twice, "There is nothing I want..."

As for the last of the three, although Ah Liao had some thoughts in his heart, the most important thing at this moment was to find Ning Xun, "Master, is he here?"

"Could it be that the formation has not been completely cracked?" A Rang muttered, then grabbed a handful of formation breaking talismans and threw it out.

Because he had seen it before, Zong Mo remained silent this time.

And after those formation-breaking talismans were burned out——

"Brother...Brother?" Ah Rang rubbed his eyes, in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

"Don't be impulsive." The moment A Rang rushed out, Zong Mo grabbed A Rang's wrist, "Be careful, what if it's still an illusion?""

"But..." A Rang turned his head, looked at Zongmo, then at Xie Qianjun, grabbed another handful of formation-breaking talismans, and stuck them directly on Xie Qianjun's body——

Xie Qianjun: ...

"It hasn't disappeared!" Ah Rang said in surprise.

"Master... Mr. Lu!" On the other side, A Liao abruptly stopped her steps and changed her words, "Why are you here?"

However, due to excessive worries in his heart, there were some problems with Liao's "acting skills".That worried look made Chi Shaoyun doubtful.

Before Chi Shaoyun could figure it out, Xie Qianjun quickly ordered A Rang, "Trap them!"

A Rang blinked his eyes, but he didn't know how he moved. He only heard a few bangs, and Chi Shaoyun's and Lu Xiao's feet and calves were deeply embedded in the soil.

Not to mention, Ah Rang raised his fingers slightly, and in an instant, countless vines rose from the ground, intertwined with each other, weaving into two extremely delicate birdcages, completely trapping the two of them.

Xie Qianjun looked at the birdcage woven from vines, and felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

But where is it?
