Chapter 363 The Weird Smile (4100 words)
He muttered, white mist surged outside the Ziyansha Floating Palace, making him completely hidden in the upper realm of Qianyuan.

Not long after that, Zhou Xuan and Hu Yue arrived, and the Purple Flame Sand Floating Palace was clearly in front of their eyes, but it seemed to be separated by a space, and when they fell into their eyes, there was only a sea of ​​clouds left.

……

Ziyan Sand Floating Palace, Congdian, Medicine Field.

A monk who was looking for fairy grass in the medicine field suddenly felt a figure appearing in front of him.

He got up and saw that Qi Ling was looking at him, with a gentle and polite smile on his face, and immediately said respectfully: "Senior Qi Ling."

Qi Ling nodded slightly, he raised his hand to evolve, the mana intertwined in his palm, and turned into a tablet with the words "Xuanbai Taiwuyuan Qianyuan Daojun" written on it, which was exactly the same as the one he gave to Zhou Xuan.

"Little friend, have you ever seen this thing?" He asked with a smile.

"This thing..." The cultivator leaned over and looked at it carefully.

Since it was Qi Ling's question, he didn't dare to be perfunctory, so he kept recalling everything in the past in his mind.

But in Qi Ling's eyes, this slow expression made the impatience and impatience hidden deep in his eyes constantly magnified.

In the end, the monk replied: "Reporting to the senior, the junior has thought about it carefully, and has never seen this thing before."

"I haven't seen it before, you're wasting my time?!" The smile on Qi Ling's face disappeared suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his palms were like iron tongs, tightly strangling the monk's throat.

The next moment, just hearing "Gele", the monk was killed on the spot.

Qi Ling let go, and the cultivator immediately fell into the medicine field, and with a "bang", it turned into countless strands of golden breath and sank into the soil...

But what's really weird is that even though Qi Ling kills people, no one has noticed what happened here, as if everyone has shielded this place.

"It seems that he didn't take it..." Qi Ling was dressed like a farm ox, and he took a deep breath to restore his calm again.

Then, with that almost professional smile on his face, he walked towards the next monk like a ghost.

……

At the end of the barren hill, Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and tried to penetrate his spiritual sense into the sea of ​​clouds, only to find that the whole process was surprisingly smooth.

"Huh?" Soon, his consciousness touched a layer of barrier, and he immediately looked through his pupils, only to find that the Purple Flame Sand Floating Palace was still in place, but it was covered by a layer of barrier for some reason among.

The existence of this layer of enchantment makes the Purple Flame Sand Floating Palace seem to be completely isolated from the world, as if it has fallen into another layer of space.

He successively tried to contact this layer of space enchantment with the space dao pattern, the pot sky technique, and the part of the space method of the flying body support method. After trying to no avail, he retreated.

Hu Yue asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "The Purple Flame Sand Floating Palace is isolated, and the incident happened suddenly, so I can't break into it."

"What about Miss Ling and the others?" Hu Yue glanced at the space where the Ziyansha Fugong Palace was located, with a rare look of worry in her indifferent eyes.

Zhou Xuan then said: "Don't forget the Qianyuan Upper Realm Pass, they are not fools, if they are really in danger, they will definitely leave."

"Besides, the journey of cultivating immortality is a process of coexistence of crisis and opportunity. It is normal to encounter some unreasonable things."

"We don't have much time left, let's get down to business."

When Hu Yue heard this, she retracted her gaze and nodded.

Leaving the barren mountains and entering the land of yellow sand.

Zhou Xuan raised his hand, and the map of Qianyuan Shangjing slowly emerged.

He asked: "Hu Yue, feel again, is the coordinate given by the Sun-swallowing Golden Toad still in the position of Xuanyuan Qing Palace?"

Hu Yue nodded: "It's still in Xuanyuanqing Palace."

"Okay, then let's go there." Zhou Xuandao, "However, your speed is a bit slow now, let me take you away."

Hu Yue thought for a while, and then asked seriously: "How about... I become a jade pendant like before?"

The second ring area is no different than others. Hu Yue has self-knowledge. With her Nascent Soul stage cultivation base, in this second ring area from the distraction stage to the Mahayana stage, she is basically a porcelain doll. She is broken.

"That's not a bad idea." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

Hu Yue immediately used the supernatural power "Tianhu Ningchang" to transform herself into a crystal-clear precious jade, on which a vivid fox was carved.

Zhou Xuan put it away and pinned it to his waist, and transformed into a pitch-black cloak with mana, and then cast the vertical golden light method and left the yellow sand.

……

A moment later, a white cloud dragged its long tail across the sky, Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged on the cloud, and flew continuously towards the direction of Xuanyuan Qing Palace.

His consciousness is constantly sweeping the surrounding land like a radar, and once he finds traces of the deceitful monsters, he will immediately use the deceitful lightning spear to deal a devastating blow.

At the same time, if there is a forbidden area along the way, he will fall into it without hesitation and carry out a devastating blow.

It's a pity that, along the way, the tablet that Qi Ling gave him didn't respond at all, which made Zhou Xuan suspect that the direction pointed by this thing must be in the first ring area, right?
Since he had killed more than 100 cunning demons in the barren mountains, it can be said that he encountered very few cunning monsters along the way.

Half a day later, on the distant horizon, the silhouette of a palace appeared faintly.

That is the boundary of the second ring area, and likewise, it is also where the second Taoist palace—Xuanyuanqing Palace is located.

Xuanyuan Qing Palace is located at the boundary of the second ring area. Although the three rings of Qianyuan Shangjing are irregular, its positional relationship with the second ring area is the same as that of Ziyanshafu Palace and the third ring area. They are exactly the same - they are all like a protrusion on the ring, cutting into the area of ​​the ring like a blade.

And in that ring area, there is a barren mountain in the shape of a scabbard, which just matches the Xuanyuan Qing Palace.

However, unlike the Ziyan Sand Floating Palace, from a distance, the Xuanyuanqing Palace does not have the slightest magnificent scene, it is just that there are no visions of flying cranes and auspicious clouds around it, and there is not even a wisp of mist.

Zhou Xuan secretly felt that it was strange, so he stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and immediately the pupils opened, and he looked through the hole through the wall.

After a thorough inspection, Xuanyuan Qing Palace is located in the Longan section of the second ring area, gathering the energy of three mountains, combining the energy of five places, surrounded by dragon energy under the veins, and there is a feng shui spiral alternating in the depths of the sky, just like a school of town. The elephant of the dragon.

But looking at it with the naked eye, we can see that the Xuanyuan Qing Palace is clear and bright, without the slightest aura of fireworks.

"Heaven, earth, geomantic omen transforms into shape and suppresses dragon... this is bound to be unusual!" Zhou Xuan looked again, and finally found a wisp of undetectable strange blood energy in that geomantic omen.

"Have deceitful creatures entered the Xuanyuanqing Palace? That makes sense."

Zhou Xuan's thoughts turned, and the cloud under his seat immediately burst into a gasp, and a slender tail of air flew across, like a missile, towards Xuanyuan Qing Palace.

……

The group of palaces in the Xuanyuan Qing Palace is distributed like a Taiji diagram, with two suspended main halls facing each other, and some secondary halls with gray walls and white tiles scattered around.

In the group of palaces, a clear stream flows from the misty sea of ​​clouds. After dividing the yin and yang, it flows into a mountain called "Guo Jing" in the second ring area.

Zhou Xuan pressed down on the cloud head and fell into Guo Jingling.

According to the guidance of the sheepskin scroll, the only way to enter Xuanyuan Qing Palace is by water.

Zhou Xuan's magical power transformed into a flat boat, and after stepping on it, he guided Shiba with the method of water escape, pushed the boat, and drifted away into Xuanyuan Qing Palace.

"Hu Yue, where is the visualization map you are looking for?" Zhou Xuan asked while wandering.

Hu Yue's divine sense came from the jade pendant, guiding Zhou Xuan in the direction.

The boat continued to drift, and Zhou Xuan looked around curiously... The Xuanyuan Qing Palace was far bigger than he had imagined, and the palaces scattered outside the main hall were arranged one by one, rolling up and down like mountains .

Drifting in this slender clear stream, the palaces on both sides tower into the sky, like boundless cliffs, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if they will be squeezed flat at any time.

Zhou Xuan looked far away, looking for the source of the weirdness, but found that in the countless palaces of the Xuanyuanqing Palace, there was a weird air flow as thin as wool, as if it was pervasive, and it was everywhere!
"Strangeness is everywhere?" Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes, and with the rise of ominous premonition, his heart gradually sank to the bottom, "Could it be that the weapon spirit of Xuanyuan Qing Palace has been eroded by the blood cloud of deceitful ways? gone?"

At this moment, there was a cloud of shadow above the clear stream flowing down the stream.

Zhou Xuan looked through the wall, and saw that shadow was entangled in a strong dead energy, as if he had just lost its vitality. He washed away the ominous energy with the technique of relieving evil, and then took a closer look, only to see the existence of that shadow, It is a monk from Xinghai Xuanmen!
This cultivator has a Mahayana cultivation base, his eyes are closed tightly, as if he is in a deep sleep, if Zhou Xuan's Dao pupil can't see the former's vitality, he would think he just fell asleep.

Judging from the expression of this corpse, it should have been very peaceful when it died, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of its mouth...

"A monk in the Mahayana period, just died like this?" Zhou Xuan probed the corpse with his spiritual sense, and the next moment, his face suddenly changed, "Is this a body? He died after the primordial spirit came out of his body! "

The primordial spirit is destroyed, and after that, the Tao body perishes!

This is the cause of death of this corpse.

Zhou Xuan's face was serious, and he rubbed his chin to calculate.

"It shouldn't be long since Xuanyuanqing Palace opened. In other words, it hasn't been too long since he arrived at Xuanyuanqing Palace and the Yuanshen came out of his body..."

The primordial spirit of monks in the Mahayana period is all at the top of the immortals, so how can they be weak?

Even if the primordial spirit is attacked after leaving the body, there is enough time for the primordial spirit to return to the body, and the primordial spirit will not be destroyed...

"Unless, the death was too sudden?"

You must know that after the monk's primordial spirit leaves the body, the Taoist body does not really become a body, the primordial spirit and the Taoist body are one, if the primordial spirit is attacked, the Taoist body will also subconsciously frown;
If the primordial spirit gradually dies out, the monk's Taoist body will tremble and convulse violently until it returns to calm.

No matter what, it is impossible to maintain a smile.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan looked at the corpse again.

No matter how weird the corpse's smile looked, it seemed as if it would open its eyes and smile at him the next moment.

At this moment, another cloud of shadow drifted down in the clear stream.

Zhou Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, that was the second corpse!
Zhou Xuan inspected the corpse and found that the condition of the second corpse was exactly the same as the first one, and they all died with strange smiles on their faces!

Soon, the third corpse also appeared... The situation has not changed at all!
"This...?" Zhou Xuan's scalp exploded. It was clear that the feng shui of Xuanyuan Qing Palace hadn't changed at all, but his hairs stood on end. The surroundings were silent and gloomy, as if full of ominousness and weirdness.

The quiet running water seems not to be calm, but it seems to be a layer of dim light and shadow floating in the clear water, which gradually becomes bottomless. Under the ripples, there seem to be countless sneaky figures floating.

The cliff-like Xuanyuanqing palace complex on both sides seemed to be a destructive barrier at this moment, completely trapping him in it.

This is, the white mist rising above the clear stream, the icy and bone-chilling aura invaded his body and soul like frost, as if there were countless pairs of invisible pale hands protruding towards him.

The jade pendant transformed by Hu Yue trembled slightly: "Zhou Xuan...I feel an ominous aura! Have we entered some kind of enchantment by mistake?"

Zhou Xuan's subconscious mind and Dao body gave warning, and he calmed down more and more.

"Don't worry, let me see who is playing tricks!"

Zhou Xuan snorted coldly, and the five thunders gathered behind him, and the majestic power of heaven and the positive aura of thunder directly permeated out!
God's power is like a prison, and God's grace is like a sea.

Accompanied by the appearance of Lei Fa's aura, the dark white mist melted away, the frost-like icy aura receded like a tide, and the countless sneaky figures under the clear stream also dispersed like a school of fish in an instant , curled up in the shadows...

As the ominousness and weirdness dissipated, Zhou Xuan clearly felt that Hu Yue's tense nerves were slightly relaxed.

But he didn't relax at all, his eyes shifted slightly, and a pair of calm eyes fell coldly on a figure not far away.

At the end of the clear stream, where the mist lingered, a figure slowly emerged from the misty fog.

This is a middle-aged Taoist in a Taoist robe. He has a face like a goose egg, and under his brows are a pair of phoenix eyes. He holds a floating dust, a gourd pinned to his waist, and a fairy sword , stepping on a bamboo pole, flowing along the clear waves, like a banished fairy.

In the end, he swam across the clear waves and came in front of Zhou Xuan.

He looked at Zhou Xuan quietly, and Zhou Xuan also looked at him indifferently.

This figure looked familiar, Zhou Xuan knew that he had never seen this person before, but soon, he was sure that he had definitely seen this person—or, he had seen another figure exactly like this figure.

There is no other, because this figure is impressively——

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable..." The visitor seemed to have seen enough of Zhou Xuan, so he bowed slightly and began to bow his hands, "Poverty Dao... Qian Yuan, be polite."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his body and tilted his head slightly, with a strange smile on his face, which was clearly the same as the one on the corners of the mouths of those corpses.
