"Varied……"

Feng Huiming was really shocked now.

"How is this possible?" He said in disbelief, his brows furrowed a few times, "Impossible, no...absolutely not."

"Are you so surprised?" Ning Huaishan originally wanted to keep up with Wu Xingxue, but seeing Feng Huiming's expression, he changed his mind.

He stopped and stepped back, narrowed his eyes to observe Feng Huiming's expression, and said, "Is there any key to this secret place in your house? Oh, no, no, there must be a key to it, or else it's called a secret place Well. But you look like this, it makes me feel..."

Ning Huaishan licked one side of the pointed canine teeth, and hooked Feng Huiming's shoulder!

At first glance, this posture seems to be a good brother, but his fingers are bent into claws, very close to Feng Huiming's throat.

Ning Huaishan's vigor was far less aggressive than that of his city lord, but his fingertips quickly turned black and blue. Anyone who knew a little would know that it meant that the poison technique had been practiced to the point of perfection.

As long as he needs it, he can carry poison all over his body, even the strands of hair.

"You!" Feng Huiming was about to stab him with a sword backhand, but he caught a glimpse of his black and blue fingers, and froze suddenly.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Ning Huaishan to hook someone like Feng Huiming so easily, but the latter was too shocked and gave him an opportunity.

"Eh?" Ning Huaishan asked like a hooligan in this posture: "Elder, why are you so shocked? I can't figure it out. I just thought that the thunder was set up by your family to protect the secret place." The prohibition, but look at your appearance...it doesn't look like it."

"If it was really set up by your family, and it was accidentally set by my city owner—" Ning Huaishan paused, although he really didn't like immortals, but in order to double the momentum, "There is also Tianxiu Shangxian If it’s broken, it’s okay. Or, what is that thunder—”

Ning Huaishan stretched his arms and made Feng Huiming bow his head: "—something that will die if you touch it?! Hmm?!"

After asking, he kicked hard.

After hearing a few clicks, cracks appeared on the Feng family's gray stone floor.

The next moment, I saw Ning Huaishan clamping down on Feng Huiming, taking a step of tens of feet amidst the continuous cracking sound, and dragging him to the front of the tower in an instant.

"City Lord!" Ning Huaishan threw Feng Huiming in front of Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan, and sued fiercely: "This guy has murderous intentions, let me find out!"

"Oh." Wu Xingxue responded softly, "I said why are you so easy to talk about."

At any rate, he is also the dignified elder of the Feng family, he confesses after a few interrogations, and even takes the initiative to bring someone to the door, so it's strange that he didn't ambush him.

His expression is still very calm at the moment, in Ning Huaishan's view, he is in an extremely bad mood.

Feng Huiming also felt it, and seemed a little apprehensive, so he justified: "I didn't. I just didn't expect you two to be so impatient, you came here before I cleared the way."

Ning Huaishan sneered, not believing his words.

Feng Huiming was still in the previous shock. After all, it was unheard of and unheard of for Ju Lei to take it back.Not to mention that Midi can open the door by himself...

After he finished his defense, he fixed his eyes on Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan: "You...you... Which immortal are you in Xiandu?"

He naturally knew Xiao Fuxuan's name, logically speaking, even if Tianxiu came here, it would not be so special.Then the only unknown is another one.

A thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't wait for him to figure it out.Then Wu Xingxue said: "Me? I never said I was a fairy from the beginning to the end, right?"

Feng Huiming was shocked!The fuzzy flash of thought disappeared, because when he heard these words, he finally felt the evil energy pouring out of the other party's body.

Stronger than any demon he had dealt with.

Feng Huiming: "..."

Wu Xingxue left those words behind and didn't care about Feng Huiming anymore.

His eyes fell on the open door of the high tower, and the awkward sense of inversion became more and more clear, so that he could feel that it was a feeling of familiarity and strangeness——

There are things he is extremely familiar with here, which were once connected by blood.But this thing has become extremely strange again now...

The door of the tower is black, very tall and heavy, like two complete pieces of dark iron.The layout inside the door is the same as that of ordinary towers, with altars and futons for sitting cross-legged and meditating.There are candles hanging high at the four corners, the flames glowing dark red, swaying slightly in the wind, illuminating the inside of the tower indistinctly.

The color of the light was not comfortable, and one glance made one feel restless.

Ning Huaishan pulled his face and tugged at the neckline, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm sweating all over this place."

When those candles burn, there is a faint fragrance, which is not unpleasant, and even very pleasant.But a few more sniffs can make people dizzy.

Ning Huaishan turned his head and slapped his nose, feeling suffocated for a while.

He kicked Feng Huiming and asked, "What kind of lamp is this?! The smell makes me sick!"

Feng Huiming pursed his lips tightly and didn't raise his eyes.

Ning Huaishan said again: "I'm asking you something!"

Only then did Feng Huiming grit his teeth and said, "The medicinal candle is harmless."

He was very confused at the moment.

Originally, it was calculated that these three people would die in front of the tower, but now the calculation failed, and they were allowed to easily open the gate of the tower.

In this way, he is no longer "proper", he is really luring wolves into the house.What's more, among these three people, two are demons.

Those disciples who guard the family will definitely understand the Patriarch, and the Patriarch will rush over in a short time.He didn't expect the scene to be too ugly, making him look like a traitor to the Feng family.

He had to find a way to get rid of these three people.

"Medicine candle? What kind of medicine is put in a good candle?" Ning Huaishan kicked him again.

Feng Huiming showed a look of swallowing his anger: "Naturally, the medicine is given only when necessary."

Ning Huaishan snorted and muttered, "You'd better not play any tricks."

He suddenly felt a little regretful - it would have been nice if he hadn't fooled the doctor away.What he is good at is poison. Doctor Yiwu is famous for his elixir, which is more effective than him at this time. Maybe he can tell what medicine is put in by taking a sip.

It's not like him... every time he tried the medicine, he felt like his brain was a little sick.

Ning Huaishan quietly rolled his eyes, put his head into the tower resignedly, and took a few deep breaths like a fool, almost reaching the candle on tiptoe.

Seeing him like this for the first time, Wu Xingxue was completely confused.

Before the question came out, Ning Huai shirt retracted, looked at the black and blue on his fingertips slowly fading, and said: "The city lord, it is not poisonous, not fatal."

For the people in the Night City, the poison must have an immediate effect. Anything that is not fatal is not poison, at most it is a small gadget that affects the performance.

Feng Huiming said: "Of course it's not poisonous. I'm a celestial being, what do I put poison in the candles for? There are only a handful of people who know this secret place. Do you want to poison yourself?"

He is well versed in some truths, if he says that this candle is completely harmless, then anyone with a little brain will know it is false.But he directly explained everything, and it seemed that he had once again left behind.

"Oh, why is your family so stupid? It's a secret place, and the door is open without any precautions?" Ning Huaishan said angrily.

Feng Huiming's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he made a look of reluctance. After a long while, he said vaguely: "It's really not poisonous. At most, this medicinal candle is just to confuse people who walk in by mistake..."

"Just being confused? It's not like that." Wu Xingxue said, rubbing her fingertips.

If he had wanted to perform a killer move before, the energy in his whole body would be condensed in his palm in an instant, it was almost an instinct.But now he has been running for two weeks, and the energy still can't gather on his fingers, like a loose sand that can't be squeezed tightly.

Feng Huiming saw the movements of Wu Xingxue's fingers, and then glanced at Xiao Fuxuan.

He knew better than anyone else that apart from making people confused, the most important thing about this candle was to soften one's energy.So what about the immortals, what about the coercion like the sea?If you can't get together, what's the difference between them and these human monks?

Sure enough, Tianxiu Shangxian also frowned.

Feng Huiming was overjoyed: It's done!

Even if Tian Su didn't speak, he knew that it was because of the influence of the medicinal candle that he couldn't gather his strength.

However, just because Qi Jin was affected and the coercion was no longer so strong, it would not make Feng Huiming turn over on the spot.There are three people on the other side, and he is alone, and the situation is still that he is at a disadvantage.

This is what everyone understands.

What Feng Huiming wants is "everyone understands".

In this way, these three people will not regard him as a threat, but will still enter the tower.

Once inside the tower, it's easy to handle.

In this densely populated tower, the first and second floors were the places he and the Patriarch visited most often.These two layers borrowed a bit of the residual power of the sacred tree, which was derived from the cycle of life and death of the sacred tree, and the half-dead and half-glorious appearance——

The first floor is "Rong", which belongs to the blazing sun, where ordinary people are unbearably hot, sweating, and anxious.If you stay there for a long time, your meridians will burst out, and if it is serious, your whole body will explode and you will die.

The second floor is "dry", which belongs to the most yin, and is extremely cold. If an ordinary person stays in it for a long time, the meridians all over his body will suddenly shrink and freeze, and they will no longer be able to circulate.

People who cultivate in the immortal sect often go out of their way due to a single thought, go mad or something else.Sometimes extremely cold, sometimes extremely hot.The higher the cultivation base, the harder it is to suppress when things go wrong.

At this time, these two floors became an excellent retreat.

Among the generations of the Feng family, there are very few cultivators who need to borrow these two layers.In the previous generation there was only the Patriarch, and in this generation there is only Feng Huiming.

Every time they come in, they also need to hold a special protective spirit pill under their tongues to reduce half of the divine power of these two layers before they can bear it.

Others, even Feng Shulan who was second only to him, would only die tragically if they came here.

This is what Feng Huiming intended——

It is difficult for these three people to get together, their coercion disappears, and they are no different from monks in the world.Even if they are at the level of the Patriarch, or stronger than the Patriarch, they are still dead without the Spirit Protection Pill.

***

He thought so in his heart, but he said: "There is something strange in this secret place today——"

Unexpectedly, it opened the way for the evil spirits for the first time.

"—In this way, I can't guarantee that unforeseen dangers will happen after I go in."

This is a warning in disguise.

"If the three of you still want to go in and take a look, you can take the protective elixir made by my Feng family."

Feng Huiming said nothing less than what he should have said, and felt that he had done his best.He took out three golden pills from the kit at his waist, and spread his palms to the three.

Even so, he clearly knew that these three people would not eat at all.

He wouldn't even eat it.After all, who knows what medicine a person who "talks half the truth and half the truth" gives?

Sure enough, Ning Huaishan glanced at Jin Dan and said, "I don't want to eat it. I'll ask someone to reason with me after I've eaten it."

Tianxiu Shangxian also said coldly: "No need."

As for Wu Xingxue...

The devil threw down the sentence "you eat slowly", then stepped over the threshold and stepped into the tower.

Feng Huiming put the protective pill behind his back, sneered in his heart, and said: It's hard to persuade you damn ghost, does it matter if you are a fairy or a demon?Indiscriminately breaking the ban is a no-no!

Taking advantage of no one's attention, he took a protective pill under his tongue and followed Xiao Fuxuan into the pagoda.

There was a loud bang——

The giant black iron gate slammed shut!

When the candlelight in the tower flickered, the remaining blazing sun power from the Shenmu flowed rapidly, like a whirlpool in the deep sea.

Even with the protective pill, Feng Huiming still felt palpitations.He pressed the little pill tightly with his tongue, like grabbing a piece of driftwood to save his life.

Because he knew very well that without this spirit protection pill, he would be sucked into the power of the blazing sun, and he would explode and die irresistibly.

Ning Huaishan wiped his forehead and said, "It's getting hotter and hotter, and I'm starting to sweat."

Feng Huiming looked at their backs coldly, thinking that it's right to be hot, and death is not far away when they start sweating, as long as I count a few more...

one two Three……

When Feng Huiming counted to four, he suddenly paused.

He heard a strange sound—like the roar of an unseen ocean tide, coming from another place.

He made a careful distinction and raised his head abruptly.

The "sea tide" is not elsewhere, it seems to be... upstairs? !

The first floor is the blazing yang that belongs to the sacred tree, and the second floor is the most yin that belongs to the withered appearance of the sacred tree, and the sound of the sea tide seems to be that the divine power of the most yin upstairs has moved...

How can it be?

We are clearly still on the first floor!What about the second floor? ? ?

Feng Huiming was very confused when he heard the divine power of the second layer hit from top to bottom——

Boom!

The top of the first floor of the tower shattered, and a big hole suddenly opened.

Feng Huiming: "I..."

???

This high-tower dense land has existed in the Feng family for several generations, and today, a huge hole has been blasted out by myself? ? ?

At this point, he finally began to feel ridiculous.

But that's not all...

Because he saw the power of the most yin that was originally locked on the second floor, wrapped in a gray-blue cold mist, swooping down, and the power of the blazing sun that circulated on the same layer gathered together.

In an instant, mountains roared and tsunamis turned upside down.

Feng Huiming only felt that the protective pill under his tongue shattered into petals, and the sour and bitter taste spread from the root of his tongue, which was shockingly cold.

There was a "buzz" in his head, and he felt that the time for his death had come, and he was going to be buried with these three people...

The divine power grew wildly, rushing towards Wu Xingxue with a long roar.

Feng Huiming thought to himself: This is the first dead person today.

He took two steps back, fearing that his body would be splashed with blood when the other party exploded to death, but he saw that the divine power surged like a tide, but when it touched the devil, it suddenly became thin and curly...

It's like a waterfall flowing straight down from the top of a mountain, and when it falls to a stone pool and is caught by the mountain road, it becomes a gurgling stream.

That raging, no, the thin and curling divine power almost obediently got into the blood of the devil, and the devil had no bulging veins, and no blood veins burst.

He even looked better...

"..."

Feng Huiming felt that his knowledge of nearly a hundred years had been shattered into dross - either he was crazy, or this tower was crazy.

When he came to his senses, he found himself stuck against the corner of the wall, dumbfounded.

The devil accepted all the divine power, looked down at his hand, and turned his head to ask Tianxiu Shangxian: "What about you, do you have any influence? I feel that part of it flows to you along with the energy. "

Feng Huiming: "???"

He didn't understand why someone could take over the residual power of the Shenmu by himself.I don't even understand why this thing can lead to another person.

Even if you are very talented, you will not explode.Wouldn't the other one too? ? ?

As a result, the other person really didn't explode.

Not only did it not explode, but the energy that had been melted away by the medicinal candle seemed to be fucking restored!

Seeing Tianxiu Shangxian try to move his fingers, the coercion like the roof of Mount Tai slammed down again.

The whole tower was shaken, and Feng Huiming slid down silently: "..."

***

When Feng Huiming was going crazy, Wu Xingxue was in a different mood.

He felt the divine power in his body, and he had a strange long-lost feeling, as if he had once left this part in an unknown place, and now he brought it back by chance, but it was a bit "things are different".

Even though he didn't die from a burst of blood, he didn't fuse well either.That divine power made him energetic, but it also made him colder.

It was as if the catastrophe period that belonged to the demons had been exacerbated.

At this time, Wu Xingxue was in a contradictory state——

His complexion was not as pale as before, but his fingers were pale and blue.

For a moment, he felt that his bones were soaked in ice water. The extreme cold made his five senses dull, he couldn't hear the sound clearly, and his eyes were dark.

In his eyes, there were only a few bright spots left in the candle lamps in the room, like distant stars on a cold night.

Wu Xingxue's expression remained unchanged, she looked as stable as Mount Tai, and in the eyes of Feng Huiming and even Ning Huaishan, her state was almost at its peak.

But he remained silent for a while, and said with vigor: "Xiao Fuxuan."

"Huh?" The other party responded, because it sounded in his own body, it became the clearest voice right now.

Even though his five senses were suddenly weakened, he could still feel Xiao Fuxuan's presence.

Wu Xingxue did not show any signs of the sudden decline of the five senses, and said: "The Feng family said that this is the afterimage of the sacred tree. I don't think the afterimage can have such supernatural power. There should be something else here, something far beyond the afterimage, such as... "

He blinked, thinking in the enveloping darkness and silence: "Like a remnant branch or something like that, can you feel it?"

"Let me try."

***

When Xiao Fuxuan heard his words, he glanced left and right.

The power of Shenmu also melted into his energy.

Normally speaking, strange divine power should be repelling each other, but for some reason, that bit of divine power is very harmonious with him, almost mild.

While carefully sensing the aura of the Shenmu, he explored in the tower, and after a while he frowned.

——If there are really remnants of branches hidden somewhere, the scent of the sacred tree there should be the strongest, far surpassing other places.

But Xiao Fuxuan did not find the so-called "most intense place". On the contrary, he felt that no matter which corner was the same.

Xiao Fuxuan thought about it, raised his eyes and looked up.

Passing through the huge open hole, you can see the top of the second floor, and then the third floor.

the third floor……

Xiao Fuxuan thought for a while, raised his hand and swept out the sword energy.

And saw the golden light pass through the huge hole——

There was another loud bang, and the whole tower shook again.

The broken wood sawdust fluttered down, and Feng Huiming slipped again.

He looked at the roof of that floor with some horror, swallowed his saliva, and stopped him aloud: "No!"

Xiao Fuxuan still raised her fingers, and turned her eyes to glance at him.Because of frowning, he seemed impatient.

Feng Huiming hurriedly said again: "It's really impossible, the roof on the second floor cannot be moved! You can't go to the third floor!"

At this moment, he said this sentence from the heart.

Because he was subconsciously afraid, and he didn't even care about calculations.

"Why can't I go?" Xiao Fuxuan asked.

"You will die." Feng Huiming said, "The third floor is forbidden."

The upper third floor of the tower is a forbidden area, a place that even he dare not really set foot on.It is said that the banned remnants of Shenmu are among them.

The closest time Feng Huiming was there was when he was brought here by the patriarch to help the patriarch protect the law.He vaguely heard a very strange human voice above, and he was curious and arrogant, so he went up the stairs quietly.

He remembered standing on the stairs, reaching out to push the door on the third floor, and suddenly felt an itchy neck.

At first he thought it was his own hair, but then he suddenly realized something was wrong.That day, for convenience, he also curled the end of his hair up, so it was impossible to sweep it behind his neck.

He turned his head and saw that it was indeed a lock of hair... a long lock of hair hanging from the top.

Feng Huiming was startled at that time and looked up.

Seen from the outside, this high-density pagoda has many layers, no different from ordinary high towers.But the inside is different, the three floors up are connected and not layered.

When Feng Huiming raised his head, he felt that the tower was extremely tall, and the top was pitch black, slanting down along the shape of the tower.

His body was tense, he carefully rubbed a ball of fire in his palm, and raised his hand to shine it.

I saw the pale branches protruding from the gap on the top of the high gate, intertwined and tangled, extending down the roof of the high tower.

Those branches were like a dense net, and the net was full of dead people.

That lock of long hair hangs from it...

He was just stunned for a moment, and then felt a chill in his heart!

He looked down, and found that his heart moved for some reason, and after a while, the piece of fabric was punctured, and the blood flowed out.

Immediately afterwards, pale branches protruded from the body, like sprouting.

Later, whenever Feng Huiming thought of that day, he felt that he had almost died in the tower once.

He never wanted to experience the feeling of sudden stop of blood and chills all over his body for the second time in his life.

The head of the family said: That is the price for spying on the Shenmu.

As a result, when he told Xiao Fuxuan what he said, Tian Su looked at him coldly, and after a while he said softly, "It's nonsense."

Feng Huiming: "..."

He wanted to say more, but he saw the sound of Tianxiu's scabbard, and hundreds of golden lights shone through the entire tower as bright as day.

Feng Huiming raised his head, his first reaction was: It's over, the tower is about to collapse.

The moment this thought came to him, he vaguely heard a sentence amidst the loud noise of cracking wood and shaking.

Those words resounded clearly and lowly in Wu Xingxue's heart along with the vigor.

"The Shenmu was originally born on the top of the mountains, and its fallen flowers cover more than twelve miles. Many people have seen it. No one pays a price just for looking at it."

"The so-called price is just imposed by the world."

The entire second floor was turned into ruins in this sentence, not only that, the entire tower was a little crumbling.

Feng Huiming subconsciously looked towards the third floor, which he never dared to pry into, but saw that it was like a deep cave, except for the smoke and dust and the wind with a rotten smell, it was empty and there was nothing.

There is neither the so-called remnants of the sacred tree, nor other things related to the sacred tree.

Feng Huiming was shocked at first, and then a sense of absurdity filled his heart.

An empty tower, bluffing him for a hundred years?

But not right.

If it is really an empty tower, where does the power of the first and second floors come from?

When this question arose, he saw Tianxiu swept across the empty tower, and suddenly remembered something and his face darkened.I saw him close his five fingers——

The sword intent that was swept out instantly surged, and the sound of crackling and cracking sounded one after another, and countless cracks spread along the columns and rafters of the entire tower.

Those finely carved wooden beams exploded one after another under the sword intent, and collapsed one after another.

It wasn't until those wooden beams fell to the ground that Feng Huiming realized that those wooden beams were half-empty, and there were things embedded in them...

Those things finally revealed under Tianxiu's strength, they were some branches wrapped in white jade essence.

No wonder when I was exploring before, I felt the breath of Shenmu everywhere.

It turned out that it was hidden in the tower.

To be precise, someone borrowed its stumps to build this tower.

The moment those branches wrapped in white jade essence fell to the ground, they were covered with dust.A piercing phantom appeared.

It was a towering giant tree whose top could hardly be seen. The canopy was like clouds and mist, as if the sunset reflected the blue sky.Countless petals are falling from the trees, like heavy snow in midwinter.

Wu Xingxue stood under that phantom, among the falling flowers.

He couldn't see, hear, or feel right now.But at the moment when he was shrouded in phantom, the past flashed through his mind.
