Purgatory

Chapter 5
another side.

"Xiao Yao, boy of the He family, are you dissatisfied?"

Ning Yuanshan in the tent deliberately lowered his voice, frowned and said: "He is the person chosen for you by the family. The family has verified many times and confirmed that he has good talent. Like you, he is also expected to go to the Star River League to practice. We The Ning family and the He family are family friends again..."

"He was chosen by the family, not by me." Ning Yao impatiently interrupted Ning Yuanshan.

Ning Yuanshan shook his head and sighed: "As a woman from the Ning family, how can I have so many choices?"

"After I go to the third realm and prove myself in the Galaxy Alliance, I will have a choice." Ning Yao said coldly.

"It's not that easy."

Ning Yuanshan, who had been there before, smiled bitterly, and explained patiently: "In our world, you and the He family boy's cultivation talents may be considered outstanding."

"But in the third realm, the aura of heaven and earth is thicker, and there are almost no impurities in the aura. Those little guys of your age are much more talented than the two of you."

The meaning in the words, even if she and He Ziren were recommended to the Star River League, they would not be the outstanding group of people in the League.

"Talent is not the only criterion, it depends on human effort." Ning Yao's bright eyes sparkled.

"That's right, I'm very pleased that you have this kind of self-confidence."

Looking at the light in her eyes, Ning Yuanshan thought of his vigor when he was young, so he said: "Boy He came all the way to see you, and he is very satisfied with you. He is very favored in the He family. The elders have also agreed, if he insists..."

"You also know that there are two other people in the family who are competing with you for a place in the Star River Alliance."

Ning Yao was silent for a moment, the corners of her mouth gradually turned cold, and she suddenly said: "He shouldn't have come to the Cenji Mountains."

Ning Yuanshan was stunned, took a deep look at her, and said worriedly: "Don't act recklessly."

"So many people from the Star River Alliance, Blood Moon, and Yinling Temple died in the Cenji Mountains, let alone He Ziren?" Ning Yao seemed to have made up his mind, and said coldly: "Liu Qigang is also dead. I, even Yuanshan Uncle, you may not be able to leave alive. What is so strange about him dying in the Cenji Mountains?"

Ning Yuanshan rubbed his temples and sighed: "It seems that you have grown up when I wasn't paying attention."

"Okay, Uncle Yuanshan, you'd better go outside and watch, I always feel that something is wrong with that pile of rocks." Ning Yao urged him to go out.

At this moment, the two heard the ear-piercing wind whistling from outside, and they rushed out of the tent without any hesitation.

In the deep and dark night, the two saw a few hazy gray animal shadows at the first sight, accompanied by the ear-piercing wind whistling in the pile of rocks, flying towards Pang Jian who was sitting quietly in the corner.

The beast's shadow was very vague, without a real flesh and blood body, as if it had been transformed from gray mist, filled with a sense of mania and violence.

Pang Jian, who was sitting quietly, seemed to be aware of the abnormality, and he was already on guard with a cautious expression.

"The lowest level beast spirit condensed from the soul of the beast in the mountain!" Ning Yuanshan shouted.

At this time, He Ziren, Zhang Heng, and a few people who were retreating in the tent rushed out in no particular order.

"Beast!"

He Ziren drank in a low voice.

He is also at the Tongmai state, and he can see those blurred gray animal shadows like Ning Yao and Ning Yuanshan.

The tent he was in was actually the closest to Pang Jian, but he saw the "beast spirits" transformed from the souls of wild beasts drifting towards Pang Jian, but he had no intention of helping him.

Moreover, he had a mocking sneer on his face, obviously intending to watch Pang Jian suffer.

"Uncle Yuanshan, we need Pang Jian to live." Ning Yao said softly.

Ning Yuanshan suddenly flew out.

After a few flashes, he arrived in front of Pang Jian, and took out a silver and white stone pillar carved with a dragon pattern on his back and put it on the ground.

"The Flame of the Sun!"

A blazing flame burst out from the top of the stone pillar leaning on the ground.

Under the raging flames, the flame dragon pattern surrounding the cylinder seemed to come alive suddenly, showing a ferocious posture of baring its teeth and claws.

The flame that rushed several meters was blessed by the divine power of the "flame dragon", and turned into a raging sea of ​​flames above his and Pang Jian's heads.

Not long after the head was formed, the lowest-level "beast spirit" dissipated as quickly as water vapor as soon as it approached the sea of ​​flames, failing to really touch Pang Jian's body.

"what happened?"

After finishing all this, Ning Yuanshan, holding the Yanlong Stone Pillar in his hand, looked down at Pang Jian who was sitting quietly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "When we first met, there was obviously no aura in your body. I only regarded you as an ordinary hunter. Now that you have entered this mountain range, you have a weak aura in your dantian. Can you Tell me what's going on here?"

"I just felt the existence of qi, and I absorbed a little spiritual energy into my body." Pang Jian looked calm.

Looking at the sea of ​​flames that was still burning above his head, and Ningyuan Mountain with the Yanlong Stone Pillar leaning on the ground with one hand, he felt the extremely high temperature around him, and added: "Believe it or not."

"What a coincidence? Are you just getting started?" Ning Yuanshan sneered.

Pang Jian no longer explained.

"How long have you practiced?"

Ning Yao's exquisite figure swayed slightly, and she walked slowly, drinking lightly in the distance.

Looking at her graceful figure and heroic demeanor, Pang Jian replied: "Three years."

"It's been three years since I realized the existence of qi, and put a little bit of aura into my dantian?" Ning Yao's bushy eyebrows frowned, and her uniquely charming face revealed a strange look.

When she came to Pang Jian's body, she took out a finger-sized round white jade bead from her waist, shone it on Pang Jian's dantian, and said to Ning Yuanshan, "It seems that it is really just a little bit of spiritual energy."

When she said this, Ning Yuanshan let out a cold snort and then lifted his guard, and gathered the sea of ​​flames above his head to the stone pillar.

The scorching heat that enveloped Pang Jian disappeared without a trace.

"Don't blame me for doubting you. There are so many hunters in Linshan Town, only your family is independent, and it is the closest to the Cenji Mountains." Ning Yuanshan said with a straight face, "Recently, there have been frequent strange things in the mountains. Come, there may be other people with ulterior motives mixed in, we have to guard against it."

Pang Jian said "Oh".

"In my opinion, we might as well tie him up with ropes and imprison him for care." He Ziren suggested maliciously, "In this way, if he behaves abnormally, we can kill him immediately."

Pang Jian's heart sank, and his eyes immediately fell on the eerie and strange stone pile, thinking that if the Ning family really treated it like this, he would risk rushing into it to deal with it.

"It doesn't have to be like this, his strength and realm are very low, and he can't pose a threat to us." Ning Yao refused.

"It's up to you." He Ziren didn't care either.

Since Pang Jian's cultivation level is so low, there is really something wrong, and it takes him a moment to kill him.

Pang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the pile of rocks, and found that the light of the white paper fan, copper hammer and bell had disappeared, and only the ear-piercing whistling sound remained.

Recalling the previous scene, he also sensed some invisible foreign objects scrambling to come.

Those foreign objects that he couldn't see should be what Ning Yuanshan and others called the lowest-level "beast evil". Ning Yuanshan rescued himself under Ning Yao's instruction, and also destroyed those "beast evil".

However, in his feeling, those so-called "beast spirits"... don't seem to be trying to harm him.

Instead, he was involuntarily attracted by the "spiritual pot" he visualized, and wanted to be gathered into his own dantian spiritual sea.

Although it felt like this, Pang Jian couldn't verify it because the "beast evil" had been cleared by Ning Yuanshan.

While he was thinking wildly, Ning Yao, who decided to continue to give him freedom, was also observing the abnormalities in the stone pile, and discussed with Ning Yuanshan and others why "beast evil" appeared.

Pang Jian was secretly checking his Dantian Linghai again.

The Dantian Linghai is a small world like a secret in the human body. According to the "Hutian Yangqi Jue", if you have not been promoted to the Dongxuan Realm, you have not refined the spiritual consciousness, and you cannot see the real scene of the Dantian Linghai, you can only blur it. perception.

He felt it for a while, and realized that there were many cotton-like things mixed in his dantian spirit sea.

The cotton-like foreign matter made his perception not smooth, and it was difficult to know the whole picture of Linghai by induction.

He is like a blind man, moving around in a room, but is often blocked by cotton wool and foreign objects, unable to touch the general outline of the "room".

But he gradually felt that the bit of aura he had absorbed before would quickly disappear as soon as he touched those cotton wool foreign objects.

When the aura is in contact with cotton wool and foreign objects, if a little fire melts a very small piece of "cotton wool", those "wool wool" will also become less.

Not long after, the aura he had accumulated was exhausted in his body.

"Your spiritual sea is filthy, and there are too many impurities and dross. If you practice, you need to gather spiritual energy first to remove the impurities in your body. This step is like cleaning a room that has been dusty for a long time to remove the dust and debris."

"Only when the spiritual sea is clean can you retain the spiritual energy and become a real Qi refiner."

When Pang Jian didn't understand why, Ning Yao, who was holding a slightly shiny white jade bead, explained his confusion indifferently.

Because she needs to rely on Pang Jian to guide the way, she feels that her attitude is good, but the superior attitude in her bones has never disappeared.

The cloth bag containing the broken silver that she left behind earlier, the relief at this moment is like a kind of charity to beggars.

"Oh."

Pang Jian responded with indifference.

It turned out that when the girl was talking to Ning Yuanshan and He Ziren, she was watching him secretly, obviously she didn't fully believe him.

"Until then, you will be able to feel the size of your spiritual sea. But..." Ning Yao sarcastically escaped from the corner of her mouth, and then changed the subject: "Generally, people with dirty spiritual seas often have poor cultivation talents. It has to be bright and clean, and the initial scale will be relatively small.”

After a pause, she said again in a cold voice: "In the future, the space to open up is also very limited."

Like Sun Bin, she also saw that Pang Jian's cultivation aptitude was ordinary, and she thought to herself that it took three years to realize the existence of "Qi".

In her heart, Pang Jian was no longer an object of suspicion. She didn't care about Pang Jian like this. She didn't even bother to ask how Pang Jian got the practice formula.

Nothing to say that night.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just getting brighter, but the clouds were still dark and gloomy.

"Dong dong!"

There was the sound of galloping wild animals at the entrance of the canyon, and soon a group of people and horses came riding dark gray one-horned rhinoceros.

The animal skin on the strong one-horned rhino was like a natural armor, emitting a cold and hard light like metal.

"Zhou Qingchen!"

Many servants of the Ning family exclaimed when they saw the one-horned rhinoceros approaching with a savage aura.

At the front of the line, on the body of the strongest one-horned rhinoceros, sat a tall and tall man in Tsing Yi.

The man was handsome and majestic. He was half a head taller than the people behind him, making him stand out from the crowd.

When he rode over on a one-horned rhinoceros, there was a flash of light in his eyes. When he found Ning Yao, his eyes became brighter, and he laughed heartily: "So it's Miss Ning, long time no see!"

Ning Yao's demeanor became elegant, she pursed her lips and smiled subtly, and nodded her head in greeting.

Pang Jian observed from the side, and saw that her attitude towards the visitor was obviously much more polite than that of He Ziren.

When the man in Tsing Yi glanced over He Ziren, he didn't seem to see such a number one person, and he clasped his fists at Ning Yuanshan and shouted: "Uncle Yuanshan!"

Ning Yuanshan smiled and waved warmly: "I knew that your Zhou family members should be arriving soon."

When the coming man Yu Beast stopped, he took the initiative to tell the abnormality of the pile of rocks, and expressed their confusion and worry.

"Old Han, go ahead and have a look."

Zhou Qingchen, who had an elegant and elegant name but a rough appearance and temperament, said to a bloated old man in yellow behind him.

"Okay!"

Han Duping, who was wearing a yellow robe with a pattern of copper coins embroidered on the skirt, slipped off the other one-horned rhinoceros and waited until he was in front of the pile of rocks before taking out the special compass.

He didn't go in in a hurry, and just circled outside the stone pile, carefully checking for something.

Ning Yao and Ning Yuanshan were waiting for him, they seemed to know his ability, they didn't say anything to remind him of the danger, and let him mutter the terrain.

Pang Jian also watched this person's actions curiously.

After a while, Han Duping returned to the crowd, his fat face full of solemnity.

"The scattered rocks formed an absolute array that can lock Yin Qi, causing the dead nearby creatures, no matter people or beasts, their souls would not dissipate within a certain distance, and would be attracted in by the pile of stones."

Raising his head, he looked at the rock walls on both sides, and said doubtfully: "The rocks all slipped from the mountains on both sides. They should have been in a mess, but they turned into an absolute array of Yin-locking Qi."

"It's really strange. I don't know if this formation is formed naturally or artificially."

Han Duping explained his discovery suspiciously.

After he said this, everyone immediately started discussing, all kinds of guesses and conjectures.

Pang Jian's mind moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think of his father's actions when he was hunting with his father when he was a child, and every time he went in and out of the Dormant Mountains.

Father, every time he passed by here, he would kick the scattered stones.

His father didn't seem to have moved the larger and heavier rocks, but many gravels farther away were kicked here by his father.

According to his father, it was these chaotic rocks that blocked the road and hindered their father and son from moving forward.
