Dream Maker [Rebirth]

The outermost edge of the secret realm is a circle of woods, which is a bit dark under the cover of dense tree crowns and mist at this time.

Lu Ci stepped into the forest, still remembering the words that Ji Wuzhou whispered in his ear just now, but he couldn't figure out what those words meant.

As he was walking, he suddenly felt that the silence around him was a little strange. Looking back, seeing Jiang He looking around as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but slightly frowned and thought it was weird.

——Jiang He is not a careless person, just now when Ji Wuzhou whispered to him alone, even Misang Yaoyue suspected that it was leaking, and Jiang He has always been eager to win, so there is no reason not to care about Ji Wuzhou He said something, but he didn't intend to inquire at all at this time, which really made Lu Ci a little unpredictable.

Seeing him stop, Jiang He wondered, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ci shook his head and didn't say much, turned around and continued to walk forward, while Jiang He continued to search the surrounding treetops, as if looking for the whereabouts of the scroll.

Luci knew very well that the tree Luo Hanxin mentioned was not here, but he didn't hurry to urge him.

In his opinion, the Pardon Ceremony will never be as simple as "finding something", because he remembers Luo Hanxin once said, "No one who has experienced the Ceremony of Pardon dares to change his mind." Quick competition, where does a change of heart come from?

Therefore, he can almost be sure that there is some unknown danger in the process. This danger may come from other opponents, or it may come from the secret realm itself.

The forest was very quiet, so quiet that not to mention the chirping of birds, there was not even a chirping of insects, and the only thing that could be heard was the footsteps of the two on the dead branches and leaves.

Jiang He was still searching on the canopy, while Lu Ci looked around vigilantly as he walked, guarding against possible threats at any time.

After passing through the large dense forest on the outside, the trees gradually became thinner, and the vision in front of the eyes became wider and wider, and the outlines of many stone walls and tiled roofs began to be faintly revealed in the thick fog.

Lu Ci's footsteps could not help but gradually slowed down, feeling a little sour in his heart.

This is where the disciples of the secret realm used to live, but the houses and courtyards are still there, but they are all dilapidated.

The vines are coiled inside and outside the courtyard walls, the moss marks on the broken bricks and tiles are mottled, and the streams around the hills that were used to flow the water have dried up, leaving only pebbles lying on the bottom of the canal, and weeds in the gaps. Overgrown.

The deathly silence and coldness all around seemed so cold that the laughter and laughter in memory were just a dream.

Before arriving at the secret realm, Lu Ci hadn't had much personal experience of being "dead for ten years". After all, although he had been in the white "chaos" for a long time, he didn't feel the passage of time as the sun and the moon changed.

It wasn't until now when he came to the secret realm and witnessed the decay before him that he truly realized how long ten years really is, and how much time can destroy a thing that should be familiar beyond recognition.

At this moment, there was a sudden "rustle" sound from the side, and Lu Ci and Jiang He became alert for an instant, and turned their heads to look at the waist-deep grass not far away, but before they could see the situation clearly , a cold light has stabbed towards the two of them from the bushes!

With the sharp sword in front and the prison uniform in the back, the person ambush seems to be one of the prisoners!

Lu Ci and Jiang He reacted very quickly, they dodged from left to right in a flash, and the sharp sword pierced through the air between the two of them. Luci chased away!

Lu Ci hurriedly leaned back to avoid the sword edge, and while the sword was still in motion, he raised his hand to grab the man's wrist and twist it downwards, and slapped the top of the sword hilt with the other hand and pressed down hard, forcefully nailing the sword edge into the sword. off the ground!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man was about to let go in a hurry, but Lu Ci would not give him this chance, he grabbed his wrist and pressed it down violently, dragging his palm across the blade, cutting a deep cut in an instant Visible bone horrific wound, blood spatter!

"what--!"

The man's heart-piercing screams hadn't ended yet, and he was hit on the ankle again. It was Jiang He who squatted down and swept across his legs, sweeping him to the ground!

The palm of his hand was in severe pain, and he rolled over on the ground and his arm was almost broken by the gravel. The man did not show any timidity. Chaotian, before he could sit up, was kicked by Lu Ci and Jiang He from the left to the right, and his legs were kicked, and his knees hit his stomach and pressed back to the ground to firmly hold his shoulders. Immediately afterwards, the two of them clasped their fingers and locked together Up his throat!

These successive moves were all in the blink of an eye, but Lu Ci and Jiang He's movements were unified like reflections in a mirror, so that at this moment, the two with their hands on their throats were startled and looked at each other in astonishment.

Jiang He was surprised because Lu Ci's series of moves were exactly the same as his, and Lu Ci was surprised because this set of moves was called "painting the ground as a prison", which he learned in the secret realm back then!

——Where did this Jiang He come from? How could he be so familiar with secret realm moves?

Or... In the past ten years, the senior brothers and sisters have been serving as disciples, and they have already spread the secret knowledge to the world?

Lu Ci thought for a while when he was not paying attention, but Jiang He was only stunned for a moment and then looked away. His subordinates twisted resolutely and severely, breaking the man's neck bone with a "crack" sound!

The neck was broken, and the man died instantly, with his head slightly tilted to one side, his fierce eyes staring intently.

Jiang He didn't pay any attention, and stood up and patted the dust on his knees as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Lu Ci was still staring at him, he asked in surprise, "What are you doing? Could it be that you still want to keep him alive?"

Of course Lu Ci wasn't for this, but before he could ask, Jiang He had already pulled out the sword stuck in the ground and said strangely: "Hey, where do you think he got this sword from?"

All the prisoners were escorted from the Hanging Mirror Terrace, except for those like poisonous spiders who hid their weapons in their mouths, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to board the ship with a shining sword.

In fact, Lu Ci already knew the origin of the sword the first time he saw it clearly. Hearing Jiang He's question at this time, his eyes could not help turning to an old house not far away.

Jiang He was not much slower than him. After a little thought, he followed the grass where the man was hiding before and looked towards the half-closed room not far from the grass. Without delay, he immediately walked towards that side. go.

Seeing that he had already found out, Lu Ci didn't say much, got up and followed, and soon heard Jiang He who walked into the door "Yo huh?", his tone was full of surprise and surprise.

Of course Lu Ci knew why he was surprised.

——That room was exactly his former residence in the secret realm. In addition to the usual ones, there were many rare things in it, and all kinds of weapons were even more complete.

After crossing the threshold, Lu Ci took a quick glance and confirmed that most of the things in the house were still there, not much different from when he died. At this time, Jiang He had already walked to the long table next to the wall and picked up a pair of Daggers, took them out of the short sheath and looked at them carefully, and said, "Good stuff!"

After finishing speaking, he unceremoniously pinned one of them to his waist, and casually threw the other to Lu Ci: "Here, no thanks."

Lu Ci watched him take his own things to himself and acted like "I reward you", he couldn't help being a little ridiculous, but he didn't say much, he stabbed the dagger in the side of his waist obediently, and reminded: "Let's go. "

After all, the examination question for the excommunication ceremony was to find the scrolls, and now they have already wasted a lot of time. If they continue to delay, the outcome will be hard to predict.

Jiang He naturally knew about this, and now that he had a weapon in his hand, he felt more secure, so he followed Lu Ci out of the house without saying a word.

The houses here are scattered, and the terrain is much more complicated than in the forest. In addition, the dense fog makes it impossible to see the distance clearly, making it impossible for people to know which direction to look for the whereabouts of the tree.

Jiang He looked around and asked, "Which way are you going?"

Lu Ci casually pointed aside: "This way."

Jiang He didn't ask any more questions, and followed Lu Ci to that direction.

After going through several corners and forks in the road, Lu Ci chose to continue on without hesitation. He didn't intend to hide the fact that he was familiar with the secret realm, but wanted to use it to test Jiang He's reaction.

Jiang He didn't ask, never did.He didn't seem to be surprised that Lu Cihui was so determined in the direction of progress, and just followed his footsteps all the way.

Lu Ci then understood: Jiang He did not inquire about what Ji Wuzhou said before, probably not because he was not curious, but because he was sure that Ji Wuzhou had revealed the location of the tree, so there was no need for him to ask. , just follow yourself closely.

Thinking of this, Lu Ci couldn't help but smile wryly: Although the facts are not as Jiang He thought, but he's making a mistake, right?

The direction Luci was headed for was the middle of the secret realm, where, like the surrounding dense forest, it was also covered by lush trees, as if two blue concentric rings sandwiched the school that he had just passed by.

However, the dense forest in the middle is much higher than the surrounding area and the residence, and its outline is shaped like a round platform. When viewed from the shore when there was no fog in the past, it would feel like a blue crown worn by a secret realm.

Seeing that he entered the woods again, Jiang He hurriedly continued to search for the scrolls in the surrounding treetops, but the more he searched, the more he couldn't figure it out--all the trees here obviously look almost the same, and there is something "different" at a glance "The tree?

However, what he didn't know was that in the center of this forest, that is, in the center of the entire Xihezhou, there was a Wangqing Pool. In the center of the pool grew an ancient tree called "Spring Mian"-this tree was over a thousand years old, with a crown of [-] years. It is so huge that it can cover the entire surface of the pool. There are no flowers or leaves on the branches, but clusters of filaments like cotton wool.

In Luci's childhood memories, those filaments were originally cherry pink, making the entire tree crown look like pink velvet beads inlaid on the top of the central green crown from the shore of the island.

Later, with the passage of time, the color of the filaments gradually faded to snow white, and the crown of the tree seemed to become a mass of white clouds floating in the middle of the secret realm.

Now that the secret place is shrouded in dense fog, the canopy of Chunmian's tree can't be seen from a distance, but the two of them have entered the forest now, and Lu Ci knew that it would take a while for Jiang He to understand what it means to truly "stand out from the crowd".

After walking for a while, the trees in front of him gradually thinned out, and the edge of the clear pond was faintly visible.

That pool is called "Mirror Pond", and it is said that it used to be a place for thinking about mistakes set up by the teacher, but the master has always been informal, and no one in the same school has ever made a big mistake, so it is used for "thinking about mistakes". It has almost never been used, but it was mostly used as a place to play when they were young.

At this time, in the mist above the mirror pool, the outline of the huge tree crown of Chunmian has been vaguely revealed.

Lu Ci was originally prepared to hear Jiang He's amazement, but unexpectedly when he arrived at the pool and saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was the one who was surprised first.

——There are three protruding stone paths leading from different directions to the central spring sleep on the surface of the mirror pool, and at this time around the three paths...

All corpses.
