I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

Leaving the main hall of the Dragon Palace, the three of Xiao Minglou went directly to the Stone Forest.

It's just that this journey is not smooth, losing the advantage of the chain formation, the monsters in the secret realm are rampant, and it can be called a group of demons dancing wildly.

Monster beasts such as water demons, which are supposed to be docile by nature, have stayed in the secret realm of the fairy mansion for too long, or have been confused by the evil spirits.

However, there are many fairy things in the secret realm, and fairy grass and fairy fruits grow everywhere. After years of eating these things with ample spiritual energy, the cultivation base will naturally increase rapidly, and almost all of them are above the transformation stage.

The monster race at the transformation stage is equivalent to the golden core stage of the human race. If it is an ordinary golden core stage monster race, I am afraid that the two Qi Chang can't beat it together.But now these monsters have no cultivation base, but they don't know any spells, and they can't take shape. Their moves are chaotic, and they attack by hunting instinct.

It could be a sharpening stone for Qi Chang to practice his sword.

Whenever monsters came, he would hide in the back to help Qi Chang, build a fire along the way, clean up the edible skin and meat of monsters, sprinkle with sauces and cook on the spot, and wait while eating.

Stopping and stopping like this, most of the encounters are monsters, and the shadows of demons are rare.Xiao Minglou speculated that it was because the demon clan brought by the blood owl had already noticed that the demon was dead, and they were also afraid of the demon lord, and were hiding somewhere to avoid being swallowed by the same clan.

So their journey was far from dangerous, and even somewhat comfortable.

However, they walked along the map, but they still haven't reached the Stone Forest after walking for several days.

"Could it be that the map is wrong?" Wang Jun frowned, "It is reasonable to say that these places are connected to one another, and the landforms are also similar, so they should belong to the same area. shape distribution?"

Xiao Minglou shook his head and said: "You dragons are the most taboo to be restrained. If these scenes are distributed in a circle and repeat, it will make the owner of the Immortal Mansion feel uncomfortable. What's more, since he is a dragon clan, his body must be very large. A state city is too big for him. It’s just the size of the back garden.”

"Shaodong's family means... this fairy mansion is as big as a state?" Wang Jun's eyes widened. If it was really that big, wouldn't it take them ten days and a half months to complete a trip even if they broke their legs? trip? "But it's not right. Although the palace that was designated as the eye of the array before was a bit bigger, it looked quite normal, didn't it?"

"Have you ever seen such a nondescript Dragon Palace? There are pearl shells, red walls and green tiles, all arranged according to the habits of the human race. The human race has only created four different images." Xiao Minglou said, "So that palace is the residence of Longxian when he cultivated in human form, and even the gate in the secret storehouse was built for Longxian's human form."

"Young master, look at what you said, I didn't have the chance to go to see the Dragon Palace Chief, this is the first time..." Wang Jun recalled how long the gate was, and thought to himself, I am afraid that the dragon fairy will transform into a human. He is also a giant, otherwise why would such a tall door be needed?

After thinking about it, Wang Jun also felt relieved, this senior Longxian is really proud, building a fairy mansion is bigger than their sect, just like this, maybe people still feel wronged and can't turn around!

Wang Jun was thinking sourly, but before he could finish eating the monster's leg in his hand, there was a sudden change in front of him.

From tens of miles away, you can see the water waves all over the sky, rushing to the sky like watching the tide in Qiantang, and accompanied by the sound of billowing waves and dust, they rumble and sweep over the sky and cover the earth.

"Then, what is that?!" Wang Jun raised his head in surprise, unable to speak, his eyes stared straight.

In the face of natural disasters, the power of the human race is meager. Standing in front of such monstrous waves, people are like ants, and the power gap is as great as the sky.

This water wave came too fast and too fast, without any warning, as if it appeared out of nowhere, it was overwhelming, there was nowhere to avoid it.

Even the monster beasts, which are fierce and fearless, sensed the deep danger, and left Qi Chang in disregard, turned around and jumped far away, trying to avoid the wave.

"Young master! What are you waiting for, run!" Wang Jun didn't have time to think about whether he would be beaten by Qi Chang, so he quickly grabbed Xiao Minglou.

Xiao Minglou didn't move, but stood still on the spot, staring at the rolling tide, and faintly saw something silvery white shining from the turbid water waves.

"Dragon Scale..." Even though Xiao Minglou was well-informed, he couldn't help showing a look of emotion at this moment, "This fairy mansion should actually be called a fairy tomb, and the devil really got it thousands of years ago." The secret realm has already set a trap for him to play with the world, and even dragon corpses can be used by him..."

Tornado water, it’s strange that this wave came so suddenly, usually a dragon turning over can make coastal towns rain continuously for several days, not to mention the water waves stirred up intentionally?

Wang Jun's shout was close to his ears, but Xiao Minglou was lost in thought as he watched the huge waves.

After a long time, he frowned lightly, and sighed: "...Even gods cannot escape death, so who among immortals, demons, humans, and demons can truly transcend the way of heaven?"

No wonder the master would say that in the past tens of thousands of years, only the demon lord Heiyuan was the closest to that realm, and he was almost there.

Just a little bit.

"Minglou—!"

In a trance, a broad embrace protected Xiao Minglou's chest. Accompanied by the tumbling waves, the two of them were caught in the heavy water waves, sinking like floating weeds, unable to control themselves.

Xiao Minglou took a sip of water and opened his eyes with difficulty in the water. Before he could see the situation around him clearly, a hand clamped his chin. There was a slight pain on his lips, and a warm spiritual force pried it open. It touched his lips and teeth, slowly flowed through his limbs and bones, and finally merged into the dantian like a sieve, dispelling the severe cold in the water for him.

He raised his head and saw a pair of firm and gentle eyes.

"Puha..."

When the water was no longer turbulent, Xiao Minglou poked his head out of the water and took several deep breaths: "I'm about to suffocate to death."

The two were washed ashore along the current, and Qi Chang held him in his arms all the time, acting as a back pad for him.His body was full of rocks and sand, his back was flushed red, but Qi Chang didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, he just looked down at the young man in his arms: "Did you get hurt somewhere?"

"It's okay, I was pulled by you, and I didn't get hurt at all." Xiao Minglou raised his head and smiled at him.Everything was as usual, he didn't seem to take the kiss in the water to heart, which made Qi Chang feel slightly disappointed.

Xiao Minglou got up from his arms, looked left and right: "By the way, where is Wang Jun?"

"It was washed away by the current." Qi Chang shook his head, when the water wave hit, he only cared about Xiao Minglou, and didn't notice where Wang Jun was washed away.

"Forget it, that kid is lucky, maybe he can be washed up on a shore like us." Xiao Minglou stood up, patted the sand on his body, but he didn't pat it clean, his whole body was still wet, and his clothes were sticky uncomfortable.

Qi Chang has spiritual power to protect his body, and he can use his sword intent to disperse the water vapor on his body, but Xiao Minglou can't easily use his spiritual power, so he can only pull his clothes dripping wet, and his eyebrows almost knit together.

"Change your clothes." Qi Chang took out a set of clean new clothes from his Qiankun bag.

"I quite like this dress..." Xiao Minglou tugged at the sleeve with some pity, and it turned out to be a handful of water. It seemed that he couldn't do without changing it.

Without even thinking about it, Qi Chang said, "I'll wash it for you when I get back."

"really?"

"Yeah." Qi Chang clumsily but gently waited for him to take off his wet clothes, threw them into the Qiankun bag, then put on new clothes for him, steamed Xiao Minglou's long black hair with spiritual power, and then tied it into a bun for him. The bundle hangs down the back of the head.

"A Chou, do you feel that this place is a bit like a rocky forest?" Xiao Minglou sat obediently on a big rock, let him fiddle with his long hair, and observed the surrounding scene by the way.

This place is piled up with chaotic rocks, sparse vegetation, rough scenery, and the breath of wilderness everywhere, which is not as delicate and beautiful as the palace.

"It's very similar. Didn't we go to the edge of the illusion before and couldn't get out? If we could go out, maybe we could see this sea."

While talking, Qi Chang ran his fingers through his hair, separated a small strand from the bundled hair, twisted a thin twist with his clumsy fingers, and then used the twist to pass through a delicate and small hair. The jade crown is fixed on the top of Xiao Minglou's hair with thin hairpins.

In this way, the hair crown will be stable and beautiful.

This was taught to him by Zhao Jiuniang, and it was in line with Xiao Minglou's aesthetics. After Qi Chang learned it, Xiao Minglou said that from then on his hair would be taken care of by Ah Chou, and he was a veritable hands-off shopkeeper.

As time went by, Xiao Minglou became more and more inseparable from Qi Chang in terms of food and clothing, like a slow cooker, Qi Chang stewed him more and more lazily, too lazy to do it himself, and could only rely on him .

Qi Chang helped him tie his hair, and patted his slightly disheveled neckline: "When the tide hit, I saw you in a daze from afar, and even Wang Jun couldn't move you, I almost thought..." He After a pause, he stared at Xiao Ming's corridor, "It's rare for you to be in such a state, it doesn't seem like you've been frightened, why is your mind distracted?"

Xiao Minglou was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up helplessly: "When the waves were swept up into the sky, I saw the dragon scales. It must be that the monks had met the demon lord. Before the demon lord recovered his vitality, he drove the dragon scales The corpse blocked the fatal wound for himself."

He smiled, the demon lord Heiyuan was probably facing a formidable enemy, probably because he met the Palace of Seven Emotions led by Dong Chuanyue.

If you're unlucky, you might meet Chi Tianhua who is teaming up with the Palace of Seven Emotions.

Xiao Minglou guessed it might be the latter, otherwise the Demon Lord would not have sacrificed the dragon corpse so soon.

No matter how disdainful the demon master was, he did not dare to ignore the monks of the three great immortal sects.

Qi Chang pondered: "According to this, the Demon Lord is now across the sea, separated from us by almost a fairy mansion, right at the two extremes?"

"Yes and no." Xiao Minglou spread his hands, "The person who got this fairy mansion after all, every move here can't be hidden from the eyes of the devil lord. If he wants to know where we are, he can also use his divine sense. 'See' us. But I'm not worried that he won't come to the door, after all...his greatest wish is probably to break the seal of the main soul."

Qi Chang looked at him: "The seal is in your hand?"

Xiao Minglou turned his head and blinked at him, then smiled mysteriously: "Guess?"

The author has something to say: Qi Chang: Welcome to the Cultivation Food column. Today I will be introducing a dish called - Boiled Frog in Warm Water.

Qi Chang: Pay attention to three parts of fire and seven parts of water. The heat should not be too high, otherwise it will affect the deliciousness of the ingredients.

Qi Chang: When cooking, remember to stir it properly, and then stir it again, but don't stir it too much, and leave room for the ingredients to flutter.

Qi Chang: And then so-and-so, so-and-so... It's almost ready to be served.

Xiao Minglou: Is it delicious?

Qi Chang: Let me have a taste.

Xiao Minglou: Huh?No, what are you eating me for?wait...um...

Qi Chang: The soup is fresh and sweet, the meat is rich, and it is indispensable for home travel. It is indeed a must-have dish for Qi's New Year's Eve dinner. (ps: Exclusive ingredients, unique secret recipe, only I can eat.)
