There are bandits in Zhongshan

In the bamboo house, Baili Ningqing did not know how many times she sighed. She glanced at the quiet back room and asked Zhu Maolin: "How long has it been?"

"Three quarters after three days and two hours." Zhu Maolin replied slowly, with a faint smile on his face, which made Baili Ningqing want to hit him.

After Chang Li was stopped by her, he kept meditating in that guest room, not to mention making a sound, without even raising his eyelids.Baili Ningqing went to see her several times, but she always had the illusion that she was looking at a puppet.

"Is she really alive? Isn't she really a puppet made by Li Langxuan?" She didn't know how many times she complained.

Li Langxuan is the master craftsman of Jiaoyu City. He is best at making puppets. The puppets he made not only look lifelike, but can even walk and talk like humans. It is said that all the servants in his house are puppets made by him. It looks like a real person.

"Why don't you ask him?" Zhu Maolin answered her like this, looking quite helpless.

Then I saw Baili Ningqing waving his hands, looking hopeless, and said weakly: "Forget it, those puppets talk more than her, I'm afraid that if I ask Li Langxuan, they will think I'm humiliating him. "

After a while, she asked again: "Tell me, is she mentally handicapped? I heard that only people who are born with emotional disorders can practice the path of ruthlessness."

Zhu Maolin pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "She is not practicing the way of ruthlessness."

"Oh? Then why did she become such a temper?"

"Ning Qing, do you still remember yourself before your spiritual consciousness was activated?" Zhu Maolin didn't answer, but asked her this.

"Have."

"How?"

Baili Ningqing thought for a moment, and replied: "From now on, it seems that I am chaotic and ignorant. I only know instinctive desires but don't know the truth."

"That's right." Zhu Maolin said with a smile, "You are a living being, you are born with desires, and then you have feelings. Most of us demon cultivators are like this. However, there is another rare situation in the world, and I have only seen it in ancient books. , they are not living beings, but by chance, they got a glimmer of life."

"You mean Shi Ji?"

Shi Ji is one of the few people who have achieved positive results in tens of thousands of years. At first, she was just an ordinary rock in the mountains. By chance, she began to absorb spiritual energy, and finally transformed into a human form with enlightened spiritual consciousness, becoming one of the legends in the cultivation world.

Creatures such as plants, animals, and animals need to go through a lot of hardships to open their spiritual consciousness, not to mention dead things like rocks.

"Before you and I obtained spiritual consciousness, we had desires and ruthless feelings, but before Shi Ji opened his spiritual consciousness, he was ruthless and ruthless."

"You mean Changli is also..."

Just when Baili Ningqing was thinking whether to say that the stone is still a dead thing, Zhu Maolin interrupted her guess and said, "She is a human being."

"What's going on here?" Baili Ningqing got impatient after talking a lot, but she was still in the clouds. She kicked Zhu Maolin and shouted, "Don't play tricks, explain it to me!"

"I thought you liked guessing riddles." Zhu Maolin patted the extra footprints on his clothes, and muttered something in a low voice. Seeing Baili Ningqing glaring at him, he quickly raised his hand and confessed, "Okay, okay, I'll just say, But that's just my guess."

"Try another word of nonsense!"

"Cough..." Zhu Maolin cleared his throat, and then there was no smile on his expression, but almost pity, "She is human, but she is like that Shi Ji—"

What he cultivates is the way of transforming dead matter into life.

Dead things have no heart, not even living beings, so what's the point?

"So that's the case, but..." Baili Ningqing still had doubts in her eyes, and said, "But I don't think she is completely unintentional..."

"Maybe it's time to transform." Zhu Maolin said, "It's inevitable, and besides, she is a human being."

It is common sense that people have seven emotions and six desires.

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster." Baili Ningqing murmured.

Zhu Maolin sighed, and only said four words:

"Let it be fate."

In the cloud, four vermilion birds waved their wings, raised their steps and rushed forward slowly.

It seems that the speed is not fast, but in fact it is no less than the speed of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators walking with a sword.There was an invisibility technique on that step, and if he didn't have a cultivation level higher than that of Mo Chenxiang, he would not have noticed that there were four red birds carrying a step forward in the cloud.

It can be said to be extremely comfortable along the way, there are no monsters blocking the way, and no monster cultivators who don't have long eyes.

As for Mo Qiyu, she was arrogant at first, but she beat her up twice with the Tianyi sect of Xuanmen Kung Fu after angering her, and then she didn't dare to blow her beard and stare at her.

At noon on the third day, she suddenly noticed a group of monks walking with swords below.

They seem to be casual cultivators with no background and no sect, most of them are only in the Qi refining stage, and the flying swords under their feet are also crudely made. There are 12 people in total, and they are heading northeast.

"Those people are so strange." Mo Qiyu also found out, so said.

Zhong Mingzhu calculated the location, and when he found out where it was, his eyes suddenly showed some interest.

This place is not elsewhere, it is Heishui Ridge.

Curiosity was immediately aroused.

Those storytellers kept saying that there were treasures in Heishui Ridge, and she thought they had other intentions, but now seeing those sneaky monks, she felt that there might really be a big mystery hidden here.

There are still five days' journey away from Yanyu City, and Ye Chenzhou will not return until ten days later. She has plenty of time, and she looked at the monks again, and after confirming that their cultivation bases are very low, she came up with an idea and approached Mo Qiyu. He waved his hand, and mysteriously said: "I know a secret, it may be related to those monks."

"Oh, what is it?" Mo Qiyu is a fledgling fledgling, and everything he sees is novel, and he hooks it immediately.

So Zhong Mingzhu told him about the treasures scattered around Heishuiling by those storytellers. She still remembered that Mo Qiyu looked down on Changli before, and after she finished speaking, she said that her master discovered these.

"My master knows everything and has a heart for the common people. If it wasn't for finding out the conspiracy of these storytellers, how could it have fallen into Baili Ningqing's hands."

Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, his face didn't even blush, the words made Mo Qiyu's eyes a lot more yearning when he mentioned Fairy Changli, and his whole body seemed to be shining.

"What should we do?" Hearing her eloquent words, Mo Qiyu was already gearing up, and seemed eager to catch those monks and bring them back for interrogation.

Young people, most of whom have a heart to become famous, have no reason not to be attracted by this opportunity.

"Bring the magic weapon left by your little aunt, let's have a look and make plans."

Seeing her sophistication, Mo Qiyu obeyed her and followed her every step, which made Zhong Mingzhu feel like she had an extra subordinate. She didn't feel unnatural at all, but she got used to it, pointing fingers at Mo Qiyu, okay? comfortable.

They followed the monks, and when they lowered their altitude to go to the mountain forest, they left their steps in the clouds, Yu Jian followed, Zhong Mingzhu opened the barrier to hide his breath, and the monks were followed all the way without noticing Not at all unusual.

There is a huge crypt hidden in the forest, it seems to be cut off by something, it is very flat, those people drilled into the crypt, Zhong Mingzhu and Mo Qiyu also followed, the inside is very deep, with twists and turns Keep going down, it seems to lead to the belly of the mountain.

The cave was filled with thick water vapor, and the walls were smooth, as if washed by running water. Zhong Mingzhu suddenly thought of the pool in Heishuiling mentioned by the first monk, and thought that maybe this cave was really a pool before. Now the water potential has receded and it has become the cave like it is now.

She didn't know what was in front of her, but just as she was thinking about it, her vision suddenly widened. If it wasn't for the stalactites dripping water from the top, she would have thought she had broken into some valley.

It was gloomy inside, very cold, and there was also a strange stench, like something rotten. Mo Qiyu had never seen such a scene, and suddenly grabbed Zhong Mingzhu, hesitating as if trying to say something.

"If you are afraid, go first and leave me a teleportation formation." Before he could speak, Zhong Mingzhu interrupted him, leaving the disdainful words behind and continued on without looking back. It was all here, she Don't return without success, those monks combined can't match her with a magic talisman, so she is very confident.

But she was so agitated, but it just aroused Mo Qiyu's unwillingness to admit defeat. Zhong Mingzhu looked so weak that he didn't show any fear. Don't make people laugh out loud.

"You, you are not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of." He straightened his back, advanced instead of retreating, and urged the flying sword to grab Zhong Mingzhu's front, "Little aunt left me here to help you, how could I not?" Get out of the way."

"Oh." Zhong Mingzhu twitched the corners of his mouth and stopped talking to him.

After walking for a while, there was a faint voice in front of her. She looked around and used Zhu Mingtie to set up a blindfold in an inconspicuous corner, then called Mo Qiyu and hid together in it.

The location was tricky and difficult to detect, but it was at a high place, and the scene ahead could be seen at a glance.

In addition to the dozen or so people they were following, there were three more people inside, a total of fifteen people, most of them were in the Qi refining period, and there was a half-filled magic circle on the ground. Continue to line up.

It seems that those people have been here before, and they went out to get them because they didn't have enough spirit stones.

Zhong Mingzhu couldn't help but feel that he was lucky, a moment sooner or a moment later, he would miss these people.

After the magic circle was set up, more than a dozen people took out magic tools to activate the spirit circle, only to see light golden light spots flashing on the spirit circle, and then all those lights sank into the ground.

"What is this?" Zhong Mingzhu was puzzled. She was talking to herself, but Mo Qiyu was able to answer it unexpectedly.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Formation, and they belong to the Treasure Hunting Club."

"What is the treasure hunt?" Zhong Mingzhu can't be blamed for being ignorant, there are always hundreds of thousands of sects in the world of cultivation, and she usually doesn't pay much attention to them, so most of them don't know.

If it wasn't for Lu Li, she probably wouldn't even know about Mo Chenxiang.

Being pressed down by Zhong Mingzhu all the way, Mo Qiyu was finally able to express himself at this moment, Mo Qiyu couldn't tell how proud he was, he couldn't hide his smile, Zhong Mingzhu wanted to push his head into that cave.

It turns out that the Baobao Association is a subordinate force of the Zhenbao Building in Yanlu City. The reason why the Zhenbao Building can hold an auction every ten years is that it is neutral and can do business regardless of righteous or evil ways. Treasure hunt.

Times have changed, mountains and rivers have shifted, and many treasures of heaven and earth are buried deep in the ground. Treasure Hunting Club is dedicated to finding these unowned treasures. It is not a sect, and it mostly recruits casual cultivators for its own use.After all, casual cultivators do not belong to any faction, and they are distributed all over the world. Moreover, among the monks, casual cultivators know the mortal world best and are the most well-informed. Most of the legends in the mortal world are actually evolved from things that really happened. Baohui will teach the spirit-picking array to casual practitioners. According to the legend, casual practitioners can find out where the treasures may be buried. If they find a spiritual treasure, casual practitioners can get a share from it to improve their cultivation.

With the ability of casual cultivation, most of the treasures found are not valuable, but the bits and pieces, add up to a lot, and when integrated, it is a wealth that cannot be underestimated.

After Mo Qiyu finished explaining, a place on the ground suddenly burst out with brilliant light, as if all those light spots had gathered there, and then the dozen or so people cheered unanimously, rushing to that place, some chanting mantras, some Simply use your hands, and quickly dug a deep hole there.

At the bottom of the pit, there are more than a dozen jasper bottles lying here and there, covered with a layer of dust. It seems to be a long time ago, probably some kind of elixir.

"It's really been dug up." Zhong Mingzhu seemed to be infected by those people and showed a happy expression, but she was thinking about something else.

Those storytellers knew that there was a treasure here, so why didn't they come and get it by themselves, and - if they went to grab it, would those people fight her desperately.

She really wanted to see what kind of rare treasures those were, but before she could put this idea into action, she felt the ground suddenly vibrate, especially in the deep pit.

"Strange..." She probed with her spiritual sense, but she didn't find the aura of other people nearby. The next moment, she saw that the deep pit, which was only more than one foot long, expanded rapidly, becoming several feet long, and it seemed to be getting deeper. , which now looks like a dark shadow.

This is obviously not what those people did, because they all showed surprised expressions.

Surprise quickly turned to horror.

I saw a claw protruding from the shadow.

Those were very sharp and powerful claws, which seemed to be able to tear apart bricks and tiles easily. With a bang, they slapped the ground heavily, and then another one, and then a mass of black air came out of it.

It looks like a four-legged beast. It walked forward a few steps, and let out a low roar from its throat. The eyes in the black air were as big as copper bells, exuding a murderous aura. When it waved its front paws, there was a sound A heart-piercing scream came out, and a monk was already pulled to his mouth by it.

The other monks finally realized what had happened and jumped onto the flying swords, but it was too late.

When they were in a panic, another seven four-legged beasts of different shapes came out. After the last one pulled out its tail that was shining coldly from the cave, the cave on the ground disappeared.

It was followed by a one-sided hunt. How could those casual cultivators who were no more than building foundations be able to fight against those monsters.

Mo Qiyu grabbed Zhong Mingzhu, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and his eyes were full of fear. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, he could only tremble uncontrollably.

Zhong Mingzhu still has the time to laugh.

"I seem to have discovered something extraordinary." She rubbed her nose and looked at the scene of blood and flesh flying in front of her with great interest. The talisman that teleports the magic circle.

After activating the teleportation formation, she stepped into it with a calm expression, and glanced at Mo Qiyu who was still standing still, hesitated for a moment, and pulled him into the formation.

A flash of white light engulfed the figures of the two people, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy was detected by the monster, and in the next moment, their original foothold was smashed to pieces.

The destination of that kind of small teleportation array is often inaccurate, the transmission distance is short, only tens of miles at most, and the process is not as stable as the large-scale teleportation array. In just a short while, people's internal organs are almost shaken out, and they fall from the white light. After going out, the two felt dizzy and dizzy, and it took a while before they could stand up.

"That, that, that is a monster, a monster, I, I..." After Mo Qiyu realized it, his face turned pale and he stammered, but he couldn't form a word for a long time.

The Taishang Qixuan Palace is waiting for a lot of waste, and he did not participate in this monster killing. It was his first time going down the mountain to practice, and he faced eight monsters that could easily tear him to pieces at once. The horror in his heart can be imagined Know.

Zhong Mingzhu didn't want to say a word, he drew out his flying sword, dragged Mo Qiyu up, and then walked towards the place where he stopped.

"Where is this going?" Mo Qiyu asked in a low voice.

He hadn't recovered from the fright of the eight monsters, and he was afraid of any disturbance.

"Of course it's a fluke." Zhong Mingzhu frowned, trying to explain with impatience.

She really wanted to leave him behind, she had thought about it before in the crypt, but when she thought of his powerful little aunt, she could only hold back her temper and scolded him countless times in her heart.

The teleportation array sent them to the southwest of Heishui Ridge, which was three hills away from Bu Huan. She didn't dare to go directly over the forest, so she made a detour and only made half the way at night.

But sometimes the fortunes are not as good as people's fortunes, she made up her mind to stay away from these monsters, but when she reached the foot of the mountain, she felt a soaring evil approaching her face.

The aura was even more ferocious than that monster that Changli killed before, leaving her no room to react.

"This, this, this..." Behind him, Mo Qiyu obviously felt the coercion, and suddenly became incoherent again, causing Zhong Mingzhu to feel that there was a bee buzzing in front of his ear, which was extremely disturbing.

"What's this, at worst, I'll leave you for them for dinner." She hooked her lips together, smiling a little sinisterly, hearing Mo Qiyu almost fall off the flying sword, seeing that he was frightened like this, she Only then pursed his lips in satisfaction, and then opened the folding formation, twisting a few talismans in his hands at the same time, holding his breath and waiting for the evil master to appear, not forgetting to tell Mo Qiyu to find some more magic weapons, "You Did little aunt give you so many things just to show you?"

"Oh... oh!" Mo Qiyu rummaged through the storage ring in a hurry, and quickly took out an oil lamp, which covered the two of them with not-so-bright light.

Zhong Mingzhu suddenly felt a steady stream of spiritual power pouring in from the lamp, and the light pattern on Zhu Ming's post became much brighter, but she still didn't miss any opportunity to ridicule, and said with a sneer, "Are you crowing like a rooster? It's not dawn yet."

It didn't take long, the evil spirit was very close, and the stench and the thick roar came together. The former was so suffocating, and the latter made the ears hurt deeply. Zhong Mingzhu did not dare to take it lightly. She just threw out all the talismans when the monster was in front of her, but when she raised her hand, she unexpectedly found that the monster didn't even look at them, and went straight over their heads and left in the dust.

"What's going on here?" She wondered, and just as she spoke, she realized that there was something behind the monster.

It seemed to be a monk, and when he noticed the existence of the monk, Zhong Mingzhu couldn't help screaming "Ah", it turned out that the evil spirit did not come from the monster, but from the monk.

It turned out that the monster was running for its life, so it didn't notice Zhong Mingzhu and Mo Qiyu. When the monk passed by Zhong Mingzhu, he seemed to glance at her.

The sharp eyes were inexplicably familiar, and before Zhong Mingzhu could remember who it was, the figures of the monster and the monk disappeared.

"This is strange..." she murmured, feeling a little chill in her heart for no reason.

The moment she passed by, she poked around temporarily, and found that the cultivator should have been cultivated above the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but none of the people she knew could match the title.

There is also the evil spirit on that person, in retrospect it seems to be different from that of the monster.

What is the difference, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, when she was thinking about the difference, she saw a bloody light shooting up into the sky in the distance, sinking straight into the clouds, as if it was about to tear the clouds apart.

There was a faint mournful cry in the wind, and she felt that it was probably from the monster.

After all, he was caught up.

There was a voice in her heart clamoring to find out, but she still endured it, secretly remembered the location of the bloody light, and then drove away quickly.

The author has something to say: I have revised all the last three chapters
