Chapter 190 Sand
Although Qu Ruyi is unreliable, he is still trustworthy.
"This time when I enter the secret realm, I can't help but think of the old things in the cave."
Qu Ruyi sat on the futon, instead of crossing her legs, she straightened her legs and lay down on her side. She supported her head with her left hand and dangled a dogtail grass in her right hand. She stared at Lin Bai and said very seriously: "At that time, you I deceived each other with words, and I won't care about it for the sake of Xiuxiu. Now I'm in the secret realm again. If I get anything again, it's mine."
Lin Bai felt that Qu Ruyi was not unreliable, at least he knew how to take advantage.
"This is natural." Lin Bai responded immediately.
"Then you swear, by your own destiny and your Taoist heart." Qu Ruyi said.
"What can you, the Yunxia Sect, say about the secret realm?" Lin Bai looked around and talked to him.
"What words can you say?" Qu Ruyi put the dog's tail grass into her mouth, looking lazy, "It's nothing more than helping each other and forming a team. If you act alone, then each will accept his destiny."
Lin Bai looked at her and became more determined to ask Miaomiao to stay away from her.
"Qu Chengjia didn't come?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
Qu Ru noticed that Lin Bai called Qu Chengjia by his first name, so he glared at Lin Bai and said: "Retreat at home."
"What about your ancestor? No movement yet?" Lin Bai inquired in a low voice.
"I've never shown my face." Qu Ruyi lowered her voice and said nervously: "Now that you are hugging the Gu family's lap, you are considered a member of the Qiaoshan Sect. Has Patriarch Xiang come back?"
She also came to inquire.
"Can you come back?" Lin Bai spread his hands, "Master Yue's face is so dark, does he look like he is coming back to his ancestor?"
Qu Ruyi nodded and said: "Swear."
She actually forced the words back.
"It's getting late, I have to go back first." Lin Bai stood up and was immediately grabbed by Qu Ruyi's clothes.
"Swear!" Qu Ruyi said.
"Can such a thing be accomplished with an oath? Besides, you and I belong to different sects, and we may not meet each other even if we enter the secret realm." Lin Bai frowned, looking serious.
"It doesn't matter if you don't meet me. If you get something, I'll share it with you." Qu Ruyi said.
Lin Bai pinched his eyebrows and realized that Qu Ruyi was as shameless as himself.
"This..." Lin Bai glanced inside the tent again, planning to run away.
"You can just run." Qu Ruyi unexpectedly predicted what would happen. "Although Xiuxiu entered first, she has already made a secret message with me. As long as you follow the secret message, you will definitely find her."
"Didn't you say that you didn't even have time to say a word to Xiuxiu?" Lin Bai had a headache.
"Of course I didn't say a word." Qu Ruyi said proudly, "I did say several words!" She raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you want to know what the secret message is?"
Got picked on again!
Lin Bai sighed, feeling that life was difficult, and said: "I don't have to take the oath. This time in the secret realm, I allow you to choose one."
"That's ridiculous!" Qu Ruyi chuckled.
After signing the tent agreement, Lin Bai lost her temper, and Qu Ruyi revealed the secret of her agreement with Xiu Xiu.
After receiving the news, Lin Bai hurriedly left, fearing that he would cut off five cities and then ten cities.
Returning to the Qiaoshan station, I had a breather with Sister Pei, and the two of them waited quietly.
Close your eyes and come to the stone plate.
There is a wisp of blue waves on the mist outside, which is the bracelet given by Aunt Gu.
The moon-white water streaks that usually appeared every day were gone. Xiuxiu has always been hard-working, but now that she has entered the secret realm, she seems to be much more honest.
"The fox taught Xiuxiu the secret method, and the secret realm of 'wu' was opened, so she couldn't wait to throw Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua into it."
"Although this fox has a bad mouth and a bit of a mean mouth, it really doesn't hurt anyone."
"At that time, Xiao Huang was building the foundation, and the fox also gave three life-saving hairs. It can be seen that the fox is somewhat of a master, and he doesn't just raise apprentices casually."
"I just don't know what the fox said and what instructions he had before Xiuxiu and Xiao Huang entered the secret realm."
Lin Bai thought about it for a long time, but got nothing. He only wanted to wait until he found Xiuxiu after entering the secret realm.
He raised his hand to receive a cloud of mist, condensed it into a water mirror, and asked about his thoughts.
After only two breaths, the water mirror suddenly exploded and turned into mist.
Lin Bai had already expected this result. Once Xiu Xiu entered the small world, she was separated from the big world. Moreover, the fox came prepared, fearing that Xiuxiu might still be carrying something from the Nascent Soul; on the other hand, this method of water element interrogation of the heart was too simple, and it was not a native ability, so the deduction ability was limited.
"My natal mist can imitate all things, all shapes, forms, and thoughts. It can also isolate deductions, and can retain others' deductions. If the realm is sufficient, I can reverse the past."
"It seems that I should also be able to learn numerology and learn deduction methods."
"Go back and ask Aunt Gu. I worked so hard for her, so I deserve some benefits!"
Lin Bai murmured for a long time, planning to go back and take Miaomiao with him, and the master and apprentice would go to collect debts from Aunt Gu.
Two days later, the leaders of the three factions discussed and decided to enter the secret realm together in five days.
Various sects and clans distributed various types of elixirs and talismans, as well as some standard spiritual weapons for consumption.
Yue Fengshu sent his disciples to explain many matters and miscellaneous matters that needed attention.
After five days of scattered fussing, they entered the secret realm one by one.
Lin Bai was with the Tianchi sect and waited for half a day before it was his turn.
Following the veteran cultivator from the Qiaoshan Sect who led the way, everyone came to a small mountain in the middle of the island.
The mountain is five or six feet high, with a small cave underneath that can only accommodate one person.
People filed in, and the cave was tilted downwards.
After walking a few feet, we saw dampness. Going further, we were already wading in water.
I dived through the water, but for a while I lost sight of the water again. I went deeper and deeper for two or three miles, about three to four hundred feet under the island, and was already under the seabed.
A huge cave appeared in front of us, more than a hundred feet in diameter, surrounded by yellow fluorite.
Yue Fengshu, Poyunzi and Yin Luhua sat cross-legged in front of a stone tablet. There are also six golden elixirs entrenched in the distance, seeming to be holding down the formation.
The stone tablet is located in the middle of the cave. It is light green in color and seems to have marks from swords and axes. All four corners are damaged, so it must be very old.
You can vaguely see the writing on the stone tablet, but it's so blurry that it's impossible to tell.
Lin Bai glanced over and felt that the stone tablet was an ordinary thing and could not see anything different.
After waiting for another hour, someone came to make arrangements.
The three factions and their vassals, in teams of ten, entered in turns.
Lin Bai looked at it from a distance and saw that Yunxia Sect was leading the way. Ten people formed a line, including Qu Ruyi and Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan took the lead, and saw her step forward first, bowing to Sanjindan first, and then bowing to Poyunzi again. Then she walked to the stone tablet, whispered something, and touched the stone tablet with her hand.
The green stone tablet seemed to be a little brighter, with faint ripples. Meng Yuan's figure faded, and then he took a step forward and disappeared into the stone monument.
When the ten members of the Yunxia Sect entered the secret realm, it was Jiuyin Mountain, and finally the Qiaoshan Sect.
After entering one by one, it was the turn of the vassals.
After waiting for a long time, it was the Tianchi faction's turn.
"Do you feel anything?" Peining turned around and asked in a low voice as he walked forward.
"I feel that I can meet her this time." Lin Bai said.
Peining nodded slightly and said no more.
When he came to the stone tablet, Lin Bai also followed others' example and bowed first.
Yue Fengshu closed his eyes and didn't look at it at all. Yin Luhua smiled charmingly and glanced meaningfully, she must have known about Cangyun Sect.
Poyunzi nodded slightly, seemingly encouraging.
Lin Bai saluted Poyunzi again and stepped forward to touch the stone tablet.
It starts out warm, then turns cold. In an instant, Lin Bai felt that he had some connection with the stone tablet and could see its origin.
In the vast expanse, between the sea of stars, the stone tablet fell from the sky to the earth. Through the vicissitudes of the sea, the sun and the moon change, the stone tablet is located on the top of the mountain, on the bottom of the sea, in the jungle, and finally falls in this underwater cave. Before I could take a closer look, I felt an unbearable headache.
Lin Bai had already warned that when the big world enters the small world, there will be a brief tremor of consciousness, which will appear like a splitting headache, like a needle stabbing someone.
I saw that I was in a vast land, which seemed boundless and extremely small. His mind was in chaos, his consciousness was trembling endlessly, and the sea of qi was constantly rolling, making it impossible to calm his mind.
After five breaths, the Hunyuan body took effect. Although there is still a headache, it has been greatly weakened and does not hinder movement.
As soon as his feet fell to the ground, Lin Bai immediately stood up straight, holding the flying knife in his hand, and looked around before adjusting his breath.
I saw only vast expanse of yellow sand, heavy dunes, no green grass and yellow leaves, no living creatures, and no one was around.
"Sister Pei and I are on the same foot, why are we missing?"
Lin Bai was not in a hurry, he had done his homework before. When you enter the small world, you follow the same path. A slight difference may lead to a huge distance when you land.
Looking up at the sky, I saw the blazing sun in the sky and the hot air above the sand.
"I practice the Hunyuan method, but I still feel that my skin is a little dry. If you are not a person who has tempered your body, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive on this sandy ground."
Lin Bai felt nothing in his heart, so he closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.
Seeing that everything was normal, Lin Bai adjusted his breathing briefly and quickly opened his eyes.
After pinching a handful of sand, Lin Bai followed his heart and headed straight to the southwest.
Lin Bai had already made preparations and made secret codes with Sister Pei and Gai Yingqiu.
But being in the sand, with the howling wind, even if it left a mark, it would be difficult to retain it.
After spitting out a mouthful of sand, Lin Bai stepped forward with the flying knife in his hand.
"The secret realm with the word 'Wu', the stone tablet with the word 'Wu', the windy land with yellow sand, and the sandy land with a thousand valleys, are the two related? What exactly is the Wuxiang Tomb?"
"If I hadn't been looking for someone, this would be a great place to set up the Crazy Sand Fantasy Formation."
Lin Bai felt sorry for a while, and then continued to move forward, but after half a day, there was still no one there.
And the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and it can only be seen dozens of feet away. The sun does not set, but becomes more intense.
"How can that girl Xiuxiu come to a place like this and suffer? A fox is not a human being!"
Lin Bai opened his mouth and cursed loudly. Anyway, he was not afraid of foxes eavesdropping.
There was no change between the sun and the moon here, so Lin Bai kept track of the time. Another day passed and he still hadn't walked out of the sand and no one was there.
"What kind of secret realm is this?"
The previously formulated method of memorizing secret codes was completely ineffective, and Lin Bai was really out of temper.
After walking forward for half a day, I vaguely saw someone in the wind and sand ahead.
She looks like a woman, wearing white clothes. His steps staggered, as if he was tired.
Although he felt nothing in his heart, Lin Bai still stopped.
After a while, the woman seemed to see Lin Bai too. However, the wind and sand obscured the view, so the woman stopped and refused to escape.
"May I ask whose friend is in front of you?" the woman said.
The voice sounded familiar, and when he recognized his figure, Lin Bai remembered who it was.
In the previous episode, Qu Ruyi got out of prison and went out to wander around. When he arrived at Xinyi Square, he sent a letter to Lin Bai.
At that time, there were two friends from Qinglian Sect, one was Li Xinghe and the other was Ye Ruoqing.
This woman should be Ye Ruoqing, she had not established her foundation for a long time at that time. He also had feelings for Li Xinghe, but Li Xinghe seemed to have a calm temperament and rarely responded.
Lin Bai could tell at that time that Ye Ruoqing had unrequited love.
However, if we meet each other by chance on the road and have no grudges, it would be nice to be able to help.
Besides, Qinglianmen belongs to Qiaoshan, and is supported by the Cheng family from Qiaoshan, and has a close relationship with the Cheng family.
Moreover, this person was introduced by Qu Ruyi. Anyway, he is idle, so he should give Qu Ruyi some face.
"Comrade Qiaoshan!" Lin Bai walked forward.
Ye Ruoqing was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "I am Ye Ruoqing of Qinglianmen."
When he reached ten steps away, Lin Bai stopped and looked at Ye Ruoqing.
Her face showed vicissitudes of life, her hair was slightly disheveled, and it was obvious that she could not hold on for a few more days.
"You, you, you..." Ye Ruoqing saw Lin Bai walking forward and recognized him immediately. He pointed at Lin Bai excitedly and said, "You are that, that, that..."
She said "that" for a long time, but she didn't say anything.
Apparently, she had forgotten Lin Bai's name.
Lin Bai remembered clearly that when he was pulled over by Qu Ruyi, Qu Ruyi's reported name was Spin the Wheel.
At that time, Ye Ruoqing was focused on Baimei Laodao and Li Xinghe, and did not even look at Lin Bai.
Nowadays, people forget their names. At this time, people who are reasonable and know how to deal with people should report their names to avoid embarrassment.
But practice is about fighting and killing, not about human relationships.
Lin Bai asked: "That one?"
Ye Ruoqing also felt embarrassed. She was stunned, forced a smile and said, "Wang Xiaobao?"
I don’t know if it’s just a random name.
Lin Bai was a little speechless. The old Taoist with white eyebrows was a good person. Ye Ruoqing was the granddaughter of Bai Mei and had also been a casual cultivator. How could he be so unreliable?
Anyway, Lin Bai can probably understand Li Xinghe.
"Wang Dabao." Lin Bai corrected.
"Fellow Daoist Wang! It is indeed you!" Ye Ruoqing felt relieved, wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his clothes, and said, "I remember you are a casual cultivator, how come you are wearing the Taoist robe of the Tianchi Sect?"
"I bought it from Hua Lingshi," Lin Bai said.
"Can I buy this too?" Ye Ruoqing asked curiously.
"Don't talk about the uniforms of the Tianchi sect, you can also buy the uniforms of the Qiaoshan sect." People made nonsense, and Lin Bai also made nonsense.
"I've really learned a lot." Ye Ruoqing nodded with an expression of admiration and said: "Friend Wang, it's difficult to walk on the sand and the wind and sand are strong. It's better to go together and help each other."
What about helping each other? You have become like this, and you are a talented foundation builder. It is obviously me who helps you!
This thing of favor must be put into practice!
"Senior Sister Ye, I prefer to walk alone." Lin Bai refused.
"This..." Ye Ruoqing was stunned for a moment and said: "Two people are better than one person, and we all know each other. Even if we encounter difficulties, there is always someone who can give advice, right?"
"Senior Sister Ye, the sandy land is vast. You and I are going in different directions, so we don't have to go together." Lin Bai said.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll listen to you! Wherever you go, I'll go!" Ye Ruoqing immediately grabbed the straw.
"Oh, okay." Lin Bai sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Although we have only met once, we were introduced by Qu Ruyi after all."
At this point, Lin Bai said seriously: "Qu Ruyi and I are life-and-death friends. I will treat the people she introduces as good friends!"
"That's right!" Ye Ruoqing was extremely happy.
"Let's go." Lin Bai stepped forward and asked, "Tell me how you got here, and who did you meet? You can see that there are visions?"
"Yes, yes!" Ye Ruoqing pointed to the way he came from and said: "There seems to be light from the Tianhe River in the sky over there. It appears and disappears for a while. It is extremely magical."
"Tianhe?" Lin Bai asked.
"That's right!" Ye Ruoqing was very sure.
"You haven't gone to investigate? Maybe it's a great opportunity." Lin Bai asked.
"My..." Ye Ruoqing smiled and said confidently: "I want to find Senior Brother Xinghe first. Do you think, if it is a great opportunity, how can we have exclusive rights? We are on the same path, so we should share the benefits!"
You don’t dare to go alone, do you? Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "I see, Senior Sister Ye really values love and justice."
