Chapter 177 Sister Xinghe
"Crossing the Galaxy,"

After a moment's hesitation, Ming Zhi quickly said, "This fog cave is a trap. We should have been teleported out directly when the time came."

Crossing the Galaxy: "..."

Seeing her forbearance, Ming Zhi also felt uncomfortable: "I saw you flying very fast towards the fog cave, so I came to remind you. I am just repaying the favor I owe you from the mourning crow fish. If you don't believe me, forget it!"

Du Xinghe said: "I don't disbelieve it. I also think this fog cave is a scam."

"Then why do you look like that?"

"The thirty-meter-long sword has been pulled out, but it's a bit difficult to retract it."

Ming Zhi didn't understand why she accidentally hurt her friends, and she said the reason in a cold voice with a stern face - she had some friendship with the people from the Immortal Alliance, but the other party did not reveal too much information about the competition to her. They just told her that at the designated time, everyone would be automatically "squeezed" out of the secret realm, and there was no need to look for an exit.

After saying that, Ming Zhi flew away at a rapid speed on his sword.

Qin Qingyue, who was following her, asked, "Why are you flying so fast? I haven't had time to say hello to Du Xinghe."

Ming Zhi turned away and pretended to stare at the unusual fog cave, but what he was thinking in his heart was - Du Xinghe obviously didn't like him, but he still wanted to greet her, as if he was sick: "I hate her and don't want to see her."

Qin Qingyue was confused: "But when you saw the hole in the sky, your expression changed and you said you wanted to find her."

In a direction he couldn't see, Ming Zhi frowned and showed a look of disgust:

"I just don't want to owe her a favor."

Qin Qingyue looked at her back tenderly: "Zhizhi, I thought you were too harsh on Du Xinghe before, but it turned out to be my misunderstanding. You are still the kind and brave female cultivator I know."

Ming Zhi took a deep breath, and it took him a while to smooth out the goose bumps on his arms.

It wasn’t because of what Brother Qingyue said that made her sick.

Instead, he took the initiative to contact Du Xinghe and reminded her that she was in danger...

It's like asking a pure Chinese person to accept chocolate-filled dumplings. While eating it, he will feel that he must be crazy.

She shook her head and put the matter out of her mind.

In short, she and Du Xinghe are even!
……

Du Xinghe didn't understand what she was up to.

Before, Shu Jiuqing heard about the feud between Senior Du and the Wenxin Cliff branch of the Jiuyang Sect. Today, she saw Ming Zhi from the Jiuyang Sect taking the initiative to remind them. It seems that Senior Du still has a high status in the Jiuyang Sect. Yes, which sect doesn't flatter and coax such a young Jindan Zhenren? Perhaps they also have the intention of letting her return to the sect.

"It seems that the fog cave is indeed a trick."

Du Xinghe glanced at the small black dot in the distance, which was the direction of Mingzhi.

She didn't seem to intend to remind anyone else.

Crossing the galaxy, he also remained motionless.

What if the Immortal Alliance changed their minds, and the fog cave was really the exit? She did not interfere with the cause and effect of strangers, and only stopped Luo Shaya when she saw him.

"Sister Xinghe!"

Rakshasa stopped and hugged her with surprise.

In the world of immortal cultivation, this way of greeting is still too avant-garde. Du Xinghe doesn't care. Luo Shaya is followed by four people - in the middle and late stages of the Ten States Secret Realm, the surviving cultivators all found their fellow disciples or familiar partners in their own ways to act together. The ones next to her are the disciples of the Huanling Sect. Each of them is very thin. If you don't pay attention in the night, they look like four slender shadows.

"I heard that when the time comes for the second round of competition, we will be teleported out directly, so the fog cave may not be the exit." Du Xinghe reminded in a calm voice. If the other party didn't believe it, she wouldn't force it.

The senior sister behind Luo Shaya said: "Thank you for the reminder, we are also hesitant."

Another person asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

As soon as he asked, Luo Shaya's senior sister glared at him: "Disrespectful."

When someone shares information with you, you have to judge whether it is true or not and decide whether to believe it or not. How can you directly inquire about the source of someone's information?
Du Xinghe smiled without denying: "A squirrel with suspicious behavior."

Faced with this obviously perfunctory remark, the Huanling Sect did not ask any further questions.

Without more information, Du Xinghe at least acted in accordance with her words - she felt that the fog cave was not the exit, so she did not fly over, but just stayed in mid-air. If she made any unusual movements, they could catch up. After a while, someone from Huanling Sect asked, "Why are there only cultivators entering the fog cave, but no one coming out? Why don't I go over and take a look, and then tell you the situation."

Shenshui was surprised: "How brave of you to take such a risk?"

The one who proposed it was Luo Shaya's senior sister. She smiled and said, "We in the Huanling Sect know how to turn fog into mist. There is no other sect in Pingyun Continent that is better at escaping than us. Even if there is a trick behind the fog cave, we can turn fog into mist and escape... If we can't come back, don't we still have the amulet given to us by Deputy Alliance Leader Chi?"

Du Xinghe just thought of this.

They, the Huanling Sect, are indeed very flexible.

The female cultivator said she was the senior sister leading the Huanling Sect to the Immortal Alliance Competition. Her surname was Yin and her name was Ranran. "If I'm really so unlucky that I can't come back, do you mind if I let my junior brothers and sisters follow Senior Du? You don't have to worry about them. I'm just afraid that they will be at a loss if I'm not with them."

This was a way of gaining protection by giving away information at the cost of her own life.

Du Xinghe nodded: "I promise you."

At this touching moment, Shujiuqing poked her lower back.

Du Xinghe: "What's the matter?"

"Don't you have anything that can fly to detect the small magical instruments ahead?" Shu Jiuqing chuckled, "If not, I happen to have a pair here."

After saying that, she took out two gray birds from her storage ring.

The eyes of the two little birds were embedded in a special spiritual device. As soon as they were taken out, they looked around, shrank their heads, and had a strong sense of stealth.

Shu Jiuqing introduced: "This is a magic weapon I bought in the second-hand market. It is used for scouting. As long as you infuse your spiritual power into it, you can share the perspective with the two birds for a period of time."

The people of the Huanling Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

She just said she was scouting the area, right?
This, this, this... is he really a serious monk?
"In order to make it easier for everyone to see the scene behind the fog cave, each of you should inject some spiritual power."

However, Shujiuqing did come up with a solution with the lowest risk, and everyone agreed.

Two gray birds flapped their wings one after the other and flew towards the fog cave.

Du Xinghe closed her eyes, and two magical images appeared in her mind. I guess the one that appeared in her mind was the perspective of the gray bird.

"A door...?"

Through the clouds and over the stars.

Luoshaya: "Why is there only picture but no sound?"

"When I bought it, the stall owner said that the one with sound would cost an extra 200 spirit stones. Isn't that asking for my life?"

The nine-day mood spreads its hands.

After passing through the fog layer, a door appeared behind the fog.

The door was suspended in the sky, mixed with all the colors that Du Xinghe could remember, forming a chaos. There was also flowing black air around the door. They seemed to be alive and wanted to expand outwards, but when they expanded to a certain range, they shrank back as if they had been electrocuted.

Looking closely, when the black air surged to its peak, as if it had hit a layer of transparent paper, the outline of a human face was outlined.

A face... a face grimacing in pain.

The door floats up and down in the sea of ​​fog.

Du Xinghe remembered the door he saw in "Night Banquet".

"Did you all see it?" the disciple of Huanling Sect asked, with excitement in his tone: "What a beautiful door! If it is such a gorgeous door, maybe... maybe it is the door built by the Immortal Alliance to welcome the winner."

Hearing this, Du Xinghe was stunned for a moment.

Everyone has their own preferences and aesthetics are free, but even though this door was gorgeous and beautiful, she still felt that this person needed to see a medical practitioner.

Immediately, others echoed: "Yeah, it's really beautiful."

"It would be great if the gate of our Huanling Sect could be remodeled into the same style."

"Stop dreaming. The gate of the Huanling Sect is used to confuse outsiders. How can it be so ostentatious?" Yin Ranran said with a smile.

Du Xinghe opened his eyes and called Shenshui's name: "Shenshui, describe this door verbally."

Shenshui was stunned for a moment, then said honestly, "It looks like a jade plaque floating in the sky. It is better than any jade I have seen in Master Lu's mansion, and it looks like solidified lard."

Luoshaya corrected: "It is mutton-fat white jade! There are many auspicious patterns carved on it."

"Lamb fat doesn't taste good, lard is better."

Shenshui felt that mutton fat was not worthy of such beautiful white jade: "With such a big door, the scraps cut off would be enough for me to eat lard rice for a year."

After saying that, he swallowed.

At this time, Du Xinghe was certain that the door they saw was different from the one she saw.

"Why don't we just fly over there?"

Rakshasa suggested.

All the disciples of the Huanling Sect who saw the door agreed and were very grateful to Shujiuqing for sharing information with them.

Du Xinghe originally wanted to persuade Luo Shaya again, but seeing that she insisted, he let her go.

From their conversation, she could sense that the door they saw met their expectations of the Immortal Alliance—the grand buildings of the major sects and immortal cultivation families all loved to have doors with intricate carvings and made of rare and luxurious materials.

If she continued to stop them, they would start to question her.

After they left, her eyes fell on Shujiuqing.

It was within Du Xinghe's expectation that Shenshui and Xinyue would not leave, as the three of them have always been together.

But the Nine Emotions didn’t leave?
Du Xinghe said: "Is there any difference between the door you see and the one they see?"

"It should be the same, a door made of white jade."

Du Xinghe was surprised: "Then you won't leave?"

"So many monks flew up to the fog cave. After they passed through the thick fog, they must have seen the door," Shu Jiuqing frowned. "Why wasn't there a single monk in front of the door? Did they push the door open without any hesitation? I doubt it. Moreover, when I saw the door, I had an impulse in my heart... the impulse to push the door open. As long as I pushed the door open, it would be the most correct decision I have ever made in my life."

"That……"

Shu Jiuqing said that every time she felt the urge to do something, as if God was guiding her, she would always fall flat on her face: "You may not believe it, but I have long seen through it. God really wants to see me fall."

"If I hesitate and feel uneasy everywhere, then I will probably do the right thing."

Shujiuqing did not withdraw the gray bird.

After a while, the five people from the Huanling Sect appeared in Gray Bird's perspective again.

Luo Shaya couldn't wait to push the door open, but as soon as her hand touched the door handle, her senior sister Yin Ranran stopped her.

The gray bird cannot transmit sound, and Du Xinghe didn't know what Yin Ranran said to Luo Shaya. He only saw her obediently take a step back and let her senior sister open the door first.

Du Xinghe frowned and ordered anxiously, "Let the gray bird fly to a place where it can see clearly behind the door."

After saying this, she instinctively felt nauseous.

The last time she peeked behind the door, it was just a quick glance, but it caused her great psychological trauma. Even if she just made the same move and took the initiative to look behind the door, it could trigger the pain hidden in her memories.

When the nine cold days come, people will have no doubts and will naturally obey orders.

She thought about it, and the bird flew up. When she looked back, she saw Senior Du vomiting while watching. If she couldn't resist the feeling of nausea, she would just accept it calmly. Isn't it just vomiting? Falling to the ground is a gift to the spirit beasts of nature!
From the perspective of others, after Yin Ranran pushed the door open, an invisible force pulled all five of them inside. But in just two blinks of an eye, the door slammed shut.

Shenshui muttered: "It's hazy, I can't see clearly..."

Du Xinghe saw it clearly.

Slightly different from last time, this time she finally saw a little bit of what was happening behind the door -

How long of a picture can a person see and how much information can he receive between two breaths?
The mortal body has its limits, and the purpose of cultivating immortals is to raise this limit.

The dynamic vision of every Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation cultivator is many or even a hundred times that of ordinary people. When Du Xinghe saw a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he used to feel fear as if he saw a high-dimensional monster. The more he could see, the more terrifying it was.

The gray bird cannot transmit sound, but she still understood the sound coming from behind the door this time.

The voice behind the door said -

"These are not keys either." A pale and strange halo pulled the five people from the Phantom Spirit Sect in.

With every inch they advanced, their cultivation base skyrocketed, and their slender bodies swelled up, stopping just on the edge of exploding.

"Something must have happened outside," Du Xinghe blinked hard, cutting off the visual connection with the gray bird, but the scenery behind the door polluted her left eye, which was still repeatedly playing the transformation show of the five members of the Huanling Sect: "The Immortal Alliance should be trying to find a solution. What we have to do for the time being is to protect ourselves."

After Du Xinghe finished speaking, she found that the people around her were looking at her strangely.

She smiled: "What's wrong?"

"Master, your left eye..."

Xinyue reminded softly.

Du Xinghe pulled out Xue Ming, and with the help of the reflection on the sword, he could see clearly the condition of his left eye.

Her left eye was like a broken glass ball, or like a scene in a kaleidoscope, cut into grids, showing exactly what happened to the five members of the Huanling Sect. She asked Shenshui to describe it, but he only saw long and thin shadows dancing around inside. Xinyue tried to purify it with healing spells, but it had no effect.

"Whatever. If it doesn't work, just dig it out and take some bone-growing pills to grow a new left eye."

Du Xinghe closed his eyes in annoyance, and the four of them flew to an abandoned city. There was a dilapidated temple in the city, which was exactly the location where Shenshui was randomly placed at the beginning of the game. Resting here was naturally much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground in the forest.

The most torment is waiting without being able to contact the outside world.

Fortunately, the four of them had a good attitude. Canshui was content with what he had, while Xinyue felt that if she died with her master, it would be a sacrifice of love between master and disciple, and it would be a beautiful thing for them to be buried together.

The most unsettling thing is the nine-day period of emotion.

She was not idle. As soon as she designated this place as a temporary resting place, she drew magic circles and set up warning barriers around the ruined temple to prevent other monks or ferocious spirit beasts from sneaking in.

After finishing his work, Shu Jiuqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to the temple.

Chanshui sat cross-legged and lit the candles in front of the Buddha statue.

"Where's Senior Du?"

"Master? Master went to the toilet inside."

"Oh."

Shujiuqing sat down, feeling puzzled.

Jindan Zhenren does not need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate. Even if they eat the flesh of spiritual beasts, they will completely absorb its energy and no filth will accumulate in their bodies. This is also the reason why Du Xinghe always chooses to stab her stomach when she needs to activate Xiaopang by hurting herself. After all, her intestines are now like filling cotton, mainly playing a role in shaping, and not really working.

At this time, the abandoned toilet in the temple.

"Huh...huh..."

Du Xinghe leaned against the wall and vomited out all the spiritual beast meat he had eaten.

The five golden pills were boiling, and the filth in her left eye was slowly affecting her mind.

It should have been a horrifying scene, but Du Xinghe didn't feel scared at all. She felt a powerful force... The reason why the five people from the Huanling Sect turned into such a horrible appearance was because the existence behind the door injected more refined and huge energy into them, which might be something she could not obtain even if she practiced hard for 500 years.

Until the moment the door closed silently, they did not explode and die.

Like Yun Yongshu, he just changed his appearance and became crazy.

What if she can bear it?
When appearance changes, it changes. Compared with great strength, beauty is nothing.

"God, you're crazy..."

Du Xinghe hit his left eye with the hilt of the sword, and all he felt was pain: "Don't tempt me to become that ghost."

The Jindan cultivator's body was too strong, so nothing happened after the blow, and it was still very clear to see.

She could only temporarily cut off the vision in her left eye.

Du Xinghe blinked his eyes. It was indeed very uncomfortable to have only the right side of his vision left, but this was the best way for the time being.

She rinsed her face and mouth before returning to the three of them.

"Master, are you okay?" Xinyue asked with concern. Naturally, she also noticed her slightly red left eyelid, and without saying a word, she cast two healing spells over.

"fine."

The time spent waiting for the Immortal Alliance to come and pick us up was very boring.

If you don’t go out and look up at the sky, today would be no different from any other day before, or even quieter.

"The other monks should have noticed something was wrong."

The Nine-Day Love Talk.

"Ah."

"If someone comes looking for us, we..."

Du Xinghe: "We can stay together and temporarily cease fire."

After hearing what Senior Du said, Shu Jiuqing said no more.

Du Xinghe cut a piece of cloth to use as a bandage, wrapped it around his head and covered his left eye.

Two hours later, the sunlight outside poured in through the window, reflecting the golden light of the Buddha onto them.

A strange wave of power came, and Shu Jiuqing stuck his head out, and his expression changed instantly: "Senior, something fell out of the fog cave!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Xinghe came to her side.

I looked from afar, but saw nothing.

Du Xinghe waited patiently for an hour before he saw another huge black dot falling from the fog cave.

If the fog cave is likened to a cloth bag, then now the bag has a hole in it, and the things inside have been thrown out. However, the size of the hole is limited, and the things inside are very large, so the efficiency of the items falling out is not high, and only one item can be shaken out in an hour.

How to describe what fell from the fog cave?

Looking closely, you can see from afar that it has anthropomorphic limbs and a head where it should be, but its body is charred and its face is blurred.

"Senior Du, did you see it?" Shu Jiuqing asked softly.

"Ah, I saw it," Du Xinghe added, "I felt that the thing that fell was very strong."

"How strong?"

Du Xinghe thought for a moment and said, "One of them can probably beat ten of you."

"..."

At this crucial moment, Shu Jiuqing went back and picked up two incense sticks that had not been completely burned. He used the candlelight in front of the Buddha to light the two incense sticks, put them on the incense burner, put his hands together and bowed: "Master, I will bury you and erect a tombstone for you. I will repay your kindness in my next life."

After worshiping the Buddha, Shu Jiuqing returned to Du Xinghe and showed a flattering smile: "Senior Du, do you still count what you said before about asking me to become your disciple?"

One can beat ten of her!

She finally understood that although Senior Du, who was only a casual friend, would warn them and ask them to follow her to get the minimum level of protection, she wanted

What is wrong is that Senior Du protects his own people.

Shu Jiuqing believed that her master and mother would forgive her if they knew about this!
She has grown up and knows how to find someone to support her!

Du Xinghe: "...Ah? Well, it counts."

The style of painting changed so quickly that she almost couldn't react.

As soon as Du Xinghe finished speaking, Shu Jiuqing knelt down and performed the master-disciple ceremony with her: "Once a teacher, always a father. From now on, you are my master!" She turned around and shouted to Shenshui and Xinyue: "Two senior sisters!"

Shu Jiuqing observed the strangeness of the two masters and apprentices Du Xinghe.

This Du Xinyue is obviously a man, but Shanshui calls him senior sister - but it doesn't matter, as long as her life can be saved, let alone calling her senior sister, she can even call him grandma!
This change happened very quickly, and Shenshui was a little flattered to be called that.

He is at the bottom of the food chain in his sect, and even the six cubs from the Galaxy Palace can ride on his head.

Now someone actually calls him senior sister?
The ginseng water is a bit refreshing.

"You get up first," Du Xinghe helped her up. He did not immediately agree to her request to become his disciple. He stared at her with his right eye: "After I left the Nine Yang Sect and went down the mountain, I wanted to travel around Pingyun Continent alone. If it weren't for some chance encounters with Shenshui and Xinyue... I would still be traveling alone. Being a lone ranger is very free and easy, and it's not bad to have someone to care about, but..."

"Master, please speak."

"I won't force you to become my disciple, but if you accept me as your master today, I will not tolerate your betrayal in the future."

She held her arm as she helped her to her feet.

Du Xinghe's voice was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but his tone was very serious.

Facing the aura of Jindan Zhenren, Shu Jiuqing's heart was pounding. She knew that in front of the man in front of her, all false words were useless. She nodded happily and said, "Today I am becoming your disciple because I want to seek your protection, but I am not a treacherous person. I swear to the Heaven that I will sincerely become your disciple today and will never betray you. Otherwise, I will be punished by not making any progress in my cultivation and losing all my cultivation."

Du Xinghe stared at her for a long while before curling his lips: "Okay. By the way, I'll tell you one thing. You have to call Xinyue "Senior Sister", but you have to call Shenshui "Senior Brother"... He's a man, but he just likes to transform into a woman."

As for Xinyue, she didn't want to show herself as a woman, so even if they were from the same sect, Du Xinghe wouldn't say much.

"I see."

Shujiuqing quickly accepted the setting.

She smiled in her heart——

No matter what, she will have a Jindan master in the future!

Not to mention calling a beautiful woman "senior brother", even if you tell her that this "senior brother" is a monkey, she will still call him "senior brother" without any psychological pressure!
After that, Du Xinghe said: "Okay, then the first thing you will do after becoming my disciple is to teach me how to draw a magic circle."

Nine emotions: ???

Du Xinghe repeated patiently: "I want to learn the magic circles you drew."

Shu Jiuqing was silent for a moment, and then asked carefully: "Um... Master, it seems that you will accept me as your disciple, right?"

Why is the first thing after becoming a disciple, to let the apprentice start teaching?

This feeling is like the boss of the company smilingly telling the new employees after they have passed the written test and three interviews:

Okay, you can start paying the 30,000 yuan entry fee.

It's filled with a suspicious smell, as if one has mistakenly entered a pyramid scheme.

Du Xinghe tilted his head: "What's wrong, can't you teach me?"

"It is definitely possible..."

After a while, the barrier that Shu Jiuqing had set up outside the ruined temple was triggered. She frowned and said, "Master, someone is coming."

Xinyue glanced at her unhappily.

Ah.

The word "Master" sounds quite easy to say.

"I gonna go see."

As soon as Du Xinghe walked out, he saw the monster falling from the fog cave and trying to break the barrier.

Shu Jiuqing is indeed an expert in drawing arrays and setting barriers. If her own strength is five points, the strength of the barrier she draws can jump to eight points or even higher.

——The five spiritual roots made her very sensitive to the spirituality of the five elements around her. She could use local materials to modify the spiritual power circuit of the magic circle to be more appropriate, making the "prison drawn on the ground" more solid.

Seeing this ugly demon up close had a greater impact on the three people behind him.

The gate of the dilapidated temple was built very high, but it was even higher. The slender body, about two stories high, was blocked outside the door by the barrier. It could only tilt its head, with its skull bent into an incredible shape, its cheeks completely pressed against its shoulders, and its neck stretched out long.

It seemed to sense that there were people in the temple, and it kept knocking on the door with both hands, causing the barrier to vibrate.

"...Open the door...let me in..."

Seeing that it couldn't open the barrier for a while, the monster opened its mouth and spoke. Its hoarse voice was filled with broken sighs, which were not sounds that human vocal cords could produce. It said:

"Sister Xinghe..."

Behind the door, Du Xinghe also heard it clearly.
