Chapter 191 Galaxy
Yellow sand fills the sky.
Lin Bai flew up, flying more than twenty feet into the air. He looked around and saw that it was obscured by dust and sand, making it difficult to see far.
I wanted to climb higher, but I felt the wind was getting stronger, and I felt a faint feeling in my heart that there seemed to be a great crisis.
Perhaps there was something mysterious in the desert sky. Lin Bai was the most honest and immediately fell to the ground, feeling nothing in his heart.
"I can't fly..." Ye Ruoqing was very embarrassed, looking helpless and breathless when speaking, "It seems like there is something in the sky. I heard birdsong. Maybe it is similar to the jackdaw in Mianlong Mountain."
Not long after she built the foundation, she suddenly fell into the sand. She had no way to refine her body, and her breath was already a little confused.
"You didn't bring some elixirs? It's difficult to travel in the desert. You need to adjust your breath." Lin Bai looked like a good person.
"Bring it with me." Ye Ruoqing laughed bitterly, "The wind and sand were so strong that I couldn't find a secluded place. I didn't dare to rest all the way."
"Just adjust your breath, and I will protect you." Lin Bai said.
Ye Ruoqing was very grateful, sniffed, and kept saluting Lin Bai, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you are such a good person!"
It's a pity that you can't even remember the name of the good man!
Lin Bai could only nod.
Ye Ruoqing first took out a talisman, waved his hand and lit it, and there was no sand within three feet of him. He took out another elixir bottle, poured out two pills, swallowed them, closed his eyes and recovered.
Lin Bai stood five steps away, always alert to his surroundings, and at the same time anxiously thinking in his heart.
The most important thing now is to find Sister Pei and Xiuxiu.
Sister Pei is very capable, but she lacks experience in fighting the enemy. If she encounters a complicated situation, she will inevitably act at a loss.
As for Xiuxiu, that girl is diligent in practicing numerology, but her destiny is unfavorable for attacking, so she may not have many means to defeat the enemy. However, if the fox has a secret treasure as a gift, escaping is not a problem.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai felt that this preparation was still not sufficient, and he did not expect that he would be separated after falling into the secret realm.
It would be much more convenient if you prepare things like the Concentric Ants or Zhu Jianshui's bronze mirror in advance.
Lin Bai felt that he could not suffer this kind of loss again.
Just now Ye Ruoqing said that there was a vision, which seemed to be light from the Tianhe River, but Lin Bai was actually not very interested.
However, if the fox lets Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua go deep into the secret realm, they must have something to ask for, and they may also go in the direction of the vision.
Since we can't find anyone now, it's better to wait and see and look for the vision first.
After half an hour, Ye Ruoqing's face turned rosy and her aura stabilized.
Ye Ruoqing was very grateful, "Friend Wang, thank you for having me!"
Lin Baiyun said calmly, "You and I are on the same path, why do we need to talk so much?"
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you are such a good person." Ye Ruoqing was deeply moved.
Why can’t you just say this?
Lin Bai felt that this girl didn't look like a casual cultivator and was worse than Qu Ruyi.
Without further ado, Lin Bai asked directly: "How far away is the vision, and how often does it appear and appear? How long did you walk to get here? Please tell me in detail."
Ye Ruoqing was very honest and said immediately: "I have lost contact with Senior Brother Xinghe since I entered this secret realm." She pointed to the southern sky, "The vision is in the south, and it appears every two or three hours. The wind and sand are too strong. Look It's not real. I didn't dare to... didn't want to look, so I came here, and it took less than two days. The wind and sand there were too strong, and it was difficult to penetrate into it." As he said this, he became jealous.
"I don't know where Senior Brother Xinghe fell. He has a weak temper and has few friends. I am very worried."
Ye Ruoqing burst into tears when she mentioned Li Xinghe's name, like an abandoned little daughter-in-law, or like a resentful woman who had been waiting for her husband to return.
When she spoke, Lin Bai kept staring at her eyes and observing her breathing to confirm that Ye Ruoqing was not lying.
Moreover, this girl cares deeply about Li Xinghe, and her friendship cannot be faked. He was very dependent, as if Li Xinghe was not only his lover, but also his brother and father.
"In other words, you are still far away from the place where the vision occurred?" Lin Bai asked.
"Not bad." Ye Ruoqing nodded. She looked at Lin Bai, as if she wanted to say something more, but didn't dare.
Lin Bai knew that she wanted to beg him to find Li Xinghe. But remember to look for your loving brother, and I will also look for my loving sister.
Pretending not to understand, Lin Bai smiled and said: "Maybe Senior Brother Li is safe and sound, so don't worry."
"He has no means. He has never participated in any competition between the junior and senior members of the sect. He never pays attention to provocations from fellow sects. In the entire Qinglian sect, I am the only one willing to be with him." Ye Ruoqing smiled bitterly.
Li Xinghe had an average appearance and a weak temperament. I don't know why Ye Ruoqing fell in love with him so much.
Lin Bai felt that there might be a story, but he didn't ask more. He just said: "Since he has never shown his methods, how do you know what he is capable of? And relax. If there is fate, we will definitely meet him."
"I hope so." Ye Ruoqing grimaced and nodded slightly, the worry in his brows not lessening.
"Let's move forward. You are behind me. If you feel tired, just tell me." Lin Bai said.
The two of them stopped talking and Lin Bai went ahead.
Ye Ruoqing followed five steps behind, taking out talismans from time to time to shield the two of them from the wind.
The further south you go, the stronger the wind and sand become. But there were no living things at all, not even a dead branch or thorn, let alone any living thing.
The effectiveness of the wind protection talisman is getting smaller and smaller, and the duration of maintenance is getting shorter and shorter.
Moreover, the sun never sets, and the heat is unbearable, making me even more tired.
Lin Bai has been practicing the Hunyuan body tempering method for a long time, so he can withstand it.
But after Ye Ruoqing used up the wind-avoiding talisman, he needed to use his spiritual power to protect his body. After walking for two or three hours, he had to stop and rest for an hour.
After traveling south for a day, the two stopped.
"When I first entered the secret realm, I landed near here." Ye Ruoqing's voice was dry and weak, but she was very sure, "It's going to kill me. Bah, bah, bah!" After she finished speaking, she spat out the sand.
Lin Bai walked with her for a day, and although they never said a few words, they became more familiar with her, and Ye Ruoqing also showed a bit of a coward nature.
Moreover, when she had the wind-avoiding talisman before, whenever she used it, she would have to include Lin Bai within the wind-avoiding boundary.
Speaking of which, people are considerate, but they don't have much independent opinions and like to rely on others for everything.
Lin Bai didn't say anything, just looked south.
The wind and sand are crazy, covering the sky and the sun; the sun is so hot that it seems to burn people dry.
The eyes cannot see the situation five feet away, and the consciousness is ten feet away, and there is a burning sensation in the sea of consciousness.
"When I landed, the wind was not so strong."
Ye Ruoqing covered her mouth as she spoke. Her clothes were dirty and her hair was covered with sand. She was really in a mess. His lips were cracked, and he didn't look like a fairy at all. He was bent over, with one hand on his knees, and the other hand raised vigorously, pointing to the south. "Right there!"
He took a few more breaths and continued: "The wind wasn't so strong at that time. I looked back while heading north, and I met you. In the desert where we are, there is only daylight, but there seems to be night over there. Brilliance Flow, the stars are light, like water waves. ”
After talking a lot, Ye Ruoqing became even more tired. Rest with your hands on your knees.
"When the stars gather to form a river, isn't it a river of stars? It fits the name of Senior Brother Li."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Senior Sister Ye, maybe the Senior Brother Xinghe you have been thinking about is over there."
Sure enough, Ye Ruoqing seemed to be stunned after hearing this.
She stood up straight and looked towards the distance. Although her eyes couldn't reach far, she still had a look of yearning, as if Li Xinghe was there.
There was a gentle smile on Ye Ruoqing's tired, pale and chapped face, and her eyes seemed to reflect the reflection of the stars.
"There are many people entering the secret realm this time. Since there is a vision, there must be more people going there. I...I just hope that he can avoid it and not get into arguments with others." Ye Ruoqing's voice was dry, but still had a soft tone. meaning.
Starting from Huaxi County, Lin Bai traveled tens of thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, experienced numerous hardships and dangers, and was used to seeing the warmth and warmth of people. Relying on his face and little ability, he has killed and licked people, and has close friends and life-or-death enemies.
Through all this, Lin Bai always maintained an adult heart. Seeing Ye Ruoqing's appearance now, I sincerely hope that she and Li Xinghe can achieve good things.
Unfortunately, when Lin Bai thought of Li Xinghe, he felt that he was not someone willing to stick to a corner.
This Ye Ruoqing's lovesickness and deep-seated love can't even be touched by the bright moon in the water.
"Let's take a rest." Lin Bai said in a gentle voice.
"Okay." Ye Ruoqing was quite embarrassed, "Friend Wang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would..."
"There are no foreign enemies in the sand, and you alone can survive. If I hadn't wanted to see this vision, you might have escaped from this place." Lin Bai smiled.
"After all, you are protecting the Dharma, and I want to come and take a look. I made some preparations early so that Brother Xinghe can have less trouble..." Ye Ruoqing felt embarrassed and said, "Brother Wang, the Qi Recovery Pill I brought is almost gone. . The spiritual energy here is scorching hot, with the intention of fire, and my recovery is too slow..."
Lin Bai took out the elixir bottle and threw it to her. "Fellow Daoist Wang, you are such a good person!" Ye Ruoqing was very moved and asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Wang, I don't think you feel any discomfort at all, but have you practiced the body tempering method?"
"I learned a little bit." Lin Bai nodded.
"I remember that you were an alchemist, but I didn't expect that you also practiced body tempering. It's really extraordinary."
Ye Ruoqing looked at Lin Bai and saw that Lin Bai did not look embarrassed but was full of energy, so he smiled and said: "You are kind-hearted, capable, and handsome in appearance. There is really no one like you in Qiaoshan." Several.”
She became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, "Since you bought the clothes of Tianchi Sect, you should know about Pei Ning of Tianchi Sect, right?"
"I heard something." Lin Bai said.
"Her sword cultivation skills are truly extraordinary and she is a well-known figure! The Yang family of the Qiaoshan sect's Nascent Soul is so amazing, but one of their legitimate daughters rushed to accept Pei Ning as their sister." Ye Ruoqing was very surprised. Not convinced, "I heard that Pei Ning's Taoist companion is a casual cultivator and an alchemy master. He makes a living by selling tiger wolf pills and is looked down upon by others. From my point of view, that alchemy master is far behind Brother Wang. Pei Ning should be yours. Taoist companions are the ones!”
When she said this, she added, "I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth! I love telling the truth!"
"..." Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "Let's recover first."
"There's no rush." After spending a day together, Ye Ruoqing saw that Lin Bai was easy to talk to and not a bad person, so he started chatting away.
Lin Bai actually didn't want to hear it, especially when he saw her chapped lips, he said to her, "You should take a rest."
"You don't know, Qinglian Sect has the most broken rules! I only knew that the Jiang family had many rules, but Qinglian Sect is not bad either!"
Ye Ruoqing started talking, saying that the Cheng family had taken away the good young talents from the Qinglian sect, and that the ancestors of the Gu family actually loved the stinky ones the most. He also said that the fox was angry with the Yang family and ran away.
Anyway, they are all stories about Qiaoshan.
Finally, after pulling it back and forth, it finally got to Li Xinghe again.
It turns out that she and Li Xinghe do have another story.
Ye Ruoqing is the granddaughter of the white-browed old Taoist, and was born as a casual cultivator. However, Baimei is very resourceful and popular, and he loves Ye Ruoqing very much. Therefore, Ye Ruoqing's life was not miserable before he entered Qinglian's door.
Later, when he entered Qinglian Sect, Ye Ruoqing was favored by fellow disciples because of his good looks. But Ye Ruoqing had already been told by Bai Mei not to find a Taoist companion, but to practice wholeheartedly.
Therefore, Ye Ruoqing rejected many people, and later there were rumors that Ye Ruoqing was not behaving well.
Her temperament was a little softer, but she had no one to guide her, her character was a little less tenacious and free and easy, and she was not used to the life of the sect, so her cultivation actually slowed down.
After a period of time, the more anxious Ye Ruoqing became, the more depressed she became. The more depressed Ye Ruoqing became, the less her cultivation level would improve, which was really a headache. But Baimei is away from home all year round, so there is no one to complain to.
One day she was verbally bullied by her sisters, so Ye Ruoqing climbed up the mountain at night and secretly cried alone. After crying until midnight, I heard someone was impatient. When Ye Ruoqing opened his eyes, he saw it was Li Xinghe.
Li Xinghe asked her why she was crying, and Ye Ruoqing cried and said that someone was bullying her.
Then Li Xinghe said that once you enter the spiritual practice, you should have the courage to move forward. Can you cry to death by crying day and night? How can we achieve the great road? Even if we can't cut off the hatred for a while, we should work hard. Blindly caring about other people's comments is not the principle of spiritual practice.
Of course Ye Ruoqing understood this truth, but she was young, felt unhappy, and because of her lack of cultivation, even her teachers didn't pay much attention to her, so she couldn't think about it.
When Li Xinghe saw that she was crying non-stop, he said that you should go cry elsewhere and don't delay his stargazing.
So Ye Ruoqing left crying. After a few days, Ye Ruoqing came again at night and saw that Li Xinghe was still there, so he didn't dare to cry and just sat there blankly.
The two of them had been getting along like this for several months without saying a word to each other.
Later, Ye Ruoqing took the initiative to talk to Li Xinghe and said that since we were both disliked, we might as well be friends. Li Xinghe ignored her.
Ye Ruoqing was a talkative person and would gossip about the sect's affairs on his own, but Li Xinghe ignored him. But when asked about questions about practice, Li Xinghe will share his insights and provide some guidance.
After half a month like this, Ye Ruoqing listened to Li Xinghe's teachings every day, and her cultivation actually improved. From then on, Ye Ruoqing became attached to Li Xinghe. Gradually, the people of Qinglian Sect actually regarded the two as Taoist couples.
"That day when grandpa summoned me, Senior Brother Xinghe didn't want to go, but I pestered him for a long time before I pulled him over."
Ye Ruoqing tilted her head, holding her chin with her left hand, and drawing on the sand with her right hand, "Wang Daoyou, are you asleep?"
Seeing that Lin Bai was neither salty nor bland, she wondered if she was listening. Knowing that she had talked too much, she quickly swallowed the pill and closed her eyes to recover.
In fact, Lin Bai listened very seriously. At that time, Xiuxiu was also a talkative person. She kept talking to Lin Bai all day long, and there was nothing going on in the street that she didn't know.
But after they broke up, I don't know if anyone could bear to listen to her nonsense.
"Qu Ruyi must be willing to listen to what she has to say. Xiao Huang is also a talkative person." Lin Bai thought about the past and suddenly felt something in his heart.
Through the heavy wind, sand and fog, I could see a deep black pool in the distant southern sky.
There are lines of light on it, colorful, pouring down. There are some bright spots in it, like stars.
The Tianhe River seems to include everything in the world and all living creatures.
"When I first entered the secret realm, I touched the stone tablet and seemed to feel its past."
"Looking at the stars and rivers again this time, there is an endless meaning. There is a feeling that there is life before death, and death before life."
Lin Bai stood up and stared blankly, fascinated.
"That's the Tianhe River. Somehow, the dust and sand can't cover it." Ye Ruoqing recovered and looked into the distance.
"Thousands of gravels in the sand are like stars in the galaxy. Perhaps, the dust and sand are the stars, so how can they cover them?"
Lin Bai looked at Ye Ruoqing and asked in a low voice: "When you enter the secret realm, you can feel something by touching the stone tablet."
"Yes, yes." Ye Ruoqing nodded immediately and solemnly said: "I have a terrible headache, as if my whole body has been torn into hundreds or thousands of pieces."
"..." Lin Bai rubbed his eyebrows and asked again: "Looking at this galaxy, do you feel anything in your heart?"
"Of course there is." Ye Ruoqing looked serious.
"I would like to hear the details." Lin Bai became interested.
"Seeing things and thinking about people reminds me of my senior brother Xinghe." Ye Ruoqing said.
Lin Bai felt that Ye Ruoqing should be able to chat with Qu Ruyi. After all, they were both unreliable people.
"Let's go." Lin Bai held back his headache.
Heading towards the direction of the galaxy, within two hours, the world returned to its old state, and there was no trace of the galaxy, just like a big dream.
After walking forward for two days, the galaxy never appeared again. But there was someone faintly visible in the wind and sand in the distance, and it wasn't just one person.
"Which family are you friends with?" The wind roared and the dust covered the air, but you could still hear the person's deep voice.
Ye Ruoqing's face was already pale, and now it was even more frightened.
"What should I do?" Ye Ruoqing had been a casual cultivator after all, and immediately took out a withered yellow leaf, as big as her palm.
"It's hard to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, so be prepared to meet the enemy." Lin Bai felt nothing in his heart, neither good nor evil.
"Okay!" Ye Ruoqing gritted his teeth and whispered: "Friend Wang, my natal autumn tree leaves fall, and my natal magical power is the boundless falling tree. It has the effect of blocking and confusing the enemy, and it is the most helpful. But I am in the sand, and I It hasn’t been long since Fang established the foundation, so I’m afraid my magical power will be greatly reduced... But I still have a few spiritual weapons in my hand, so I can still defend myself.”
She kept mumbling for a long time, but the meaning was simple and clear, and she didn't care.
"Qiaoshan Linzhuanlun, may I ask who is this fellow Taoist who is here!" Lin Bai said loudly.
"Jie Jie Jie..." There was a permeating laughter in the thick wind and sand, and it was actually mixed with a woman's charming smile, "Jiuyin Mountain Deer Huairen!"
"Brother Wang...Brother Lin," Ye Ruoqing finally remembered that this person's name was Zhuan Luoqing, but he didn't care about the embarrassment of admitting the wrong person, and said with full self-knowledge: "Shall we run away?"
"Why are you running away? What I hate the most is those who laugh slyly behind my back!" Lin Bai said.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Ruoqing could react, he saw Lin Bai rushing forward quickly.
In just one breath, the person had gone deep into the dust and disappeared.
"Hey! Wang...Brother Zhuanlun, wait for me!" Ye Ruoqing hurried forward, pinched a yellow leaf in his palm, and held it out. He saw fallen leaves falling in the wind and dust.
"Are the people from Jiuyin Mountain so easy to mess with?" Ye Ruoqing cried inwardly, feeling that Lin Zhuanlun was too reckless, even though he was quite stable before.
When he was about to step forward to help, he saw several blazing flames in the thick dust.
"Look at my boundless fall..." Ye Ruoqing gritted his teeth, and an ancient tree with vicissitudes of life appeared behind him, with fallen leaves falling.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw a person walking out of the dust, it was Lin Zhuanlun.
"Hurry up, someone has already beaten us." Lin Bai said.
