self-cultivation separation

They didn't stop until they got out of the sealed place.

Xu Qingxiu looked back, not knowing when or if Muling Shen gave some instructions, the disciples of the Ice Xuanzong who were following them had disappeared.

He stood alone in front of Xu Qingxiu, his eyes wide open, a little at a loss.

Muling Shen let go of his hand, tilted his head, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry... I didn't say that just now, I can't take you away."

He was talking about addressing his partner, although he really believed that in his heart, but Qingxiu never admitted it.

Xu Qingxiu hurriedly waved his hands: "It's okay! I mean, that, thank you."

"En." Mu Lingshen nodded, and tentatively said: "Qingxiu, you... come back to Ice Xuanzong with me? My parents have always wanted to see you."

Xu Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, then thought of the reaction of the old suzerain last time when he saw him, and suddenly realized that maybe the old suzerain and his wife knew that he was Xuexue's father, so they wanted to meet.

Seeing that Xu Qingxiu didn't respond for a long time, Muling Shen quickly added: "Or where do you want to go?"

I can go with you.

Xu Qingxiu lowered his head, pondered for a moment and said, "Master Mu, I really have to go to a place now. I'm going to the treasure place of Lanyan Villa."

The treasure house of Lanyan Villa is in the former Lanyan Villa, and now it is guarded by the Jinhui Sect who is not far away.But it's the same whether you look at it or not, no one can get in anyway.Jinhui Pavilion is willing to take on this responsibility because by doing so, it can get a part of the income from the spiritual land left by Lanyan Villa from the League every year as a guard fee.

Therefore, the guards in that neighborhood are not strict, and there are almost no guards, and the disciples in charge of the Jinhui Sect just wander around every few days, not even going for ten days and a half months.Instead of reporting to the temporary supervisor Jinhui Pavilion and going there with great fanfare, Muling Shen and Xu Qingxiu decided to go there privately.

Xu Qingxiu: "Are we avoiding suspicion?"

Muling Shen: "Well, avoid suspicion. After all, they see us as a suspected couple now."

Xu Qingxiu blushed: "...It's just that I'm suspicious."

Mu Lingshen said calmly, "We are the same."

The place where the treasure is hidden is in the valley behind the Lanyan Villa. After the destruction of the Lanyan Villa, this place has also become an inaccessible place.The dense trees obscured the sky, and the sunlight became a little rare here, and the vision was a little dim. Only small spots of light flowed down through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and jumped on the clothes and shoes of the two of them.

The trails that people used to walk in the past are also covered by weeds and fallen leaves, and can only be recognized vaguely. It can be seen that no one has been here for a long time.

Mu Lingshen said: "They usually only patrol outside, and they won't go inside."

Xu Qingxiu: "En?"

"Because it is said that there are still ghosts of the Xu family lingering here."

After Muling Shen finished speaking, seeing Xu Qingxiu's sad face, he hesitated and said, "...Qingxiu, what is the relationship between you and the Xu family?"

He himself had a lot of guesses, and even vaguely guessed the truth, but he still wanted the other party to tell him.

Xu Qingxiu stopped in his tracks.Having come here, he didn't want to hide it from Mu Lingchen anymore.

I didn't tell him before because I was afraid that he and his daughter would be in danger, but this person said in front of so many people that they were partners. It's better to tell him earlier and let him take precautions earlier.

Xu Qingxiu said: "I am the son of the rumored murderer of the massacre, and I am also the only survivor of the Xu family in this world."

Mu Lingshen spoke without showing any surprise. Of course, he himself would not show any expression.

He just silently held Xu Qingxiu's hand and said, "I see, let's go."

Following the path left by the predecessors, with the help of Fengyun Jue, the two quickly found the entrance to the treasure land.

The blue-gray gate is almost integrated with the stone wall, with a ferocious beast Taotie engraved on it. In the center of the gate is the huge mouth of Taotie. Above the huge mouth are two round eyes like copper bells, but those eyes are Gives a feeling of godlessness.

Xu Qingxiu stood two steps away from the door and looked up carefully, always feeling a bit out of harmony.Moreover, the entire gate is tightly stitched, as if carved from a single block of stone, and there is no mechanism or keyhole that can be opened.

Behind the Taotie are patterns of clouds, flames, and flying birds, which look simple and solemn.

Mu Ling Shen looked at it and said: "The Taotie and the lines on the back form an exquisite magic circle. If you break through the door forcefully, the magic circle will be triggered, and all the things hidden inside the stone wall will be destroyed instantly."

Xu Qingxiu nodded, continued to stare intently at the stone door, and stared at Taotie on the door, then reached out and gently stroked Taotie's eyes—these eyes were expressionless, but they seemed to witness the scene silently. All the joy, resentment, blood and tears on the land have seen through the cycle of life and death in the world.

Make him feel unreasonably sad.

Mu Ling Shen followed his hand to look at the gluttonous eyes on the door, and suddenly realized after a while: "...they don't have pupils."

At this moment, Xu Qingxiu's hand touching Taotie's left eye felt a slight pain. He took his hand down and saw that his finger had been punctured by the stone thorn there, and bright red blood was leaking out.

There is a well-known story in the Nether, called the finishing touch, in which a dragon comes to life after being painted with eyes.

This is the case with the Taotie on the stone wall today.Taotie's left eye, which was stained with Xu Qingxiu's blood, suddenly lit up, as if he had a bright look in an instant, and upon closer inspection, there was a blood-red pupil in the eye socket.He stared straight at Xu Qingxiu and Mu Lingchen, and let out a roar that shook the rocks. He waved his front left paw, as if he wanted to jump off the rock wall.

But his right half of the eye is still blind, and even the whole right half of his body is dull and lifeless.

Xu Qingxiu couldn't help taking a step back.

He looked at Mu Lingshen, who was still standing there calmly, turning a blind eye to the changes in front of him.

Xu Qingxiu secretly admired, Xin Dao really is Mu Zongzhu, Mu Zongzhu, Mount Tai collapsed before him without changing his color, always a face of iceberg cold jade, facing the disturbances of this world.I have been with others for so many years, and I still need to learn more.

He knew in his heart that the other party was such a person, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master Mu? Didn't you see it?" Why didn't he respond at all?

Mu Lingshen turned his head and looked at him calmly: "What did you say you saw?"

Xu Qingxiu: "O Taotie! The Taotie on the door is alive!" Although only half of it is alive now.

The screen orderer Shen Wenyan looked at the Taotie carefully for a while, and replied: "I didn't find it."

Xu Qingxiu: Could it be that only I can see Taotie alive?

He said: "But that glutton is still roaring! It's still roaring now! Didn't you hear, Mu Sect Master?"

Mu Lingchen looked at him and shook his head numbly.
