Slow and immortal

Chapter 177

Chapter 176

"Beloved Wife Xiaozhu" occupies a large area, Xiao Yao spent a day wandering inside, but still could not search the area of ​​the outermost five-story hall, and although there were many treasures in the room, most of them were magic weapons that had lost their spirituality and Medicinal pills, and some low-level skills and spells that she managed to find were relatively low-level. The only thing she could count as a harvest was in a small warehouse on the west side. The teleportation distance of the talisman can span more than half a day. If it is sold in the outside market, it will cost at least a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which is still priceless.

After such a day of hard work, there is only little gain, and the mineral materials she wants to find have not even been seen. Xiao Yao deeply feels that this step-by-step search method is really getting twice the result with half the effort, and she must change her strategy.

In addition to the artificial buildings such as pavilions and pavilions in the "Beloved Wife Xiaozhu", there are still several exquisite gardens. Precious magic weapons can be seen everywhere in any room here, so it is speculated that the plants planted in the garden must also be Extraordinary things should mostly be spiritual herbs and medicines.Just before, she passed by a garden, but the spiritual grass and medicine were useless to her, and there were faint fighting sounds in the garden.At that time, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and save time looking for refining materials, she never stepped in.

Now that I think about it, treasures such as mineral materials are mostly bred by heaven and earth. Since I can't find the material refining warehouse here for the time being, there may be natural mineral crystals in the garden. It seems that it is necessary to go to the nearby gardens to find out.

She turned back the same way and came to the garden again. The original fighting sound had completely disappeared. Xiao Yao glanced at the words "Zhaoyinglin" on the arched door, and after entering, she found that the place was not very big, just like her. It is expected that there are generally all kinds of spiritual grass and elixir planted here.However, someone has already come here and ransacked the place, and the rest are all common and worthless spiritual herbs, and some places have even become barren land.

In addition to these medicinal herbs, there is also a pool in the Zhaoying forest. There is a pavilion beside the pool, and the three characters "Zhaoying Pavilion" are written on the plaque on the pavilion.Hidden by the trees, the blue waves reflected the pavilion, which should have been a pleasant place, but unfortunately there was a dead body lying on the top of the pavilion, which made the air filled with a bloody smell, which seemed to be a terrible sight.

"Five senior brothers!"

Before Xiao Yao stepped forward to check, Amur, who had been silently following him, yelled, went up to the top of the pavilion first, and moved the corpse to the ground in a blink of an eye.

The corpse was a young man, wearing the same Taoist robe as Amur, with blood stains on his chest and left chest, and died of being pierced by a sharp weapon.

Winners and losers, especially monks fight against the sky, the earth, and even people for the Dao. Death is too common.Walking along the road, Xiao Yao has seen life and death parting no less than a hundred times, and her heart has changed from the initial anxiety and fear to now only silence. Bridge, even if death is close at hand, she does not dare to back down, no one in this vast world is easy to live.

"The scenery here is nice, you can bury him here." Xiao Yao said calmly seeing that he didn't say a word, and the knuckles of his hands holding the corpse had turned white due to excessive force.

Amur remained silent, motionless.The man is her senior brother, and the pain and nostalgia in her heart must not be something she can empathize with.So she didn't urge her, just stood aside and waited patiently.

It's rare that now is the best time to get rid of this child, but Xiao Yao didn't leave. She thinks that the blood flowing in her body is still a little hot, even if she doesn't like it, she won't turn around and leave alone at this time, even if a monk sometimes Also be humane.

After a cup of tea, Amur collected his emotions and buried the body on the spot.There was no scene of grief and shock during the whole process, and no monument was erected at the end. He just said in a deep voice to Tupo: "Fifth Senior Brother, you and I are together, and now Senior Brother is here to see you off. If there is a chance, you can Knowing who made the attack, my senior sisters and younger brothers will definitely avenge you if the opportunity arises."

Then Amur silently stood not far behind Xiao Yao.

This move made Xiao Yao frown slightly, but she didn't say much.She searched the "Yingzhao Forest" carefully, but unfortunately found nothing. There was no sign of mineral crystal growth here, so she had to stop and think again.

After a day of preliminary investigation, she also had a general understanding of this place. Undoubtedly, this palace was an ancient relic. It was once full of treasures, but with the passage of time, many treasures have lost their spirituality.But although these things are precious, they have not reached the level of heaven-defying. Looking at the tense expressions of Xuanyuan Yi and the others, it is obvious that there are more rare treasures here.At the same time, she was also a little strange, since she entered the golden "Duankong", she has not encountered any danger. Isn't it abnormal that there are so many treasures in such a large palace, but there is no mechanism to protect it? ?

And the only reasonable explanation she could think of was that there was nothing valuable where she went, and the real treasures were not in this large area of ​​buildings, perhaps they existed only to deceive people.Not in the pavilion, nor in the garden, the last thing left is...

She looked back at the red mist that she had seen from the beginning but had been ignored by herself, and squinted her eyes.

Leaving "Zhiying Forest", Xiao Yao flew towards the mist along the central axis avenue.Amur, who was following her closely, was thinking about something and was a little absent-minded. After she had crossed several halls, he realized it and hurried up. was left behind.

"Are you worried about the safety of those fellow apprentices?" Xiao Yao suddenly asked.

Amur was taken aback, and found that she was talking to him, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."

"If you're worried, go to them. I said a long time ago that you don't owe me anything. Everything you did back then was from my heart, and it has nothing to do with you. You really don't have to follow me all the time."

Amur lowered his eyes. He has been hesitating since just now. On the one hand, he is worried about the safety of other senior sisters and brothers.

"Amur," Xiao Yao saw that he was confused, and couldn't help sighing, "If you just want to keep looking at my back, you are doomed to be that child who can't grow up, envy and longing will never be enough."

Repaying favors is just an excuse, and his eyes are the same as when he met him in the Southern Region.Once upon a time, I followed someone behind, looking up at his handsome back with envy and longing, hoping that if I could stay a little longer, he would take another look at me.

Now that I think about it because of inferiority, I don't dare to dream of surpassing, so that I regard other people's glory as my own worship. What a childish idea.

"Amur, do you want to become stronger? If you just follow, you will get lost."

Her voice was very soft, but it hit Amur's chest fiercely, causing him to stop abruptly, his cheeks were flushed, and his brown eyes were full of embarrassment and shame.Even the trace of timidity and hope in my heart dissipated under the impact.

"One day, I will definitely be able to stand side by side with you, or even surpass you! Believe it or not!" Maybe he became angry because of revealing his thoughts, and he yelled towards the back who was going away.

Xiao Yao didn't speak, she just bent her lips and still moved towards her destination.Sometimes she also wonders, if that person was willing to ruthlessly break her childish fantasy earlier, would everything be different again, and would her immortal journey be smoother?
Until today, she finally understands: there is no turning back in the avenue, and the only one who controls it is herself, and those who still have doubts about themselves will delusionally go back in time and regain their choices.

The way of heaven and earth lies in heaven and earth, and the way of oneself begins with oneself.Her opponent will always be herself!

At this moment, Xiao Yao only felt that her thoughts were clear, her mind was clear, and her whole body was like bathing in the setting sun. She was indescribably comfortable. After a level of enlightenment, her cultivation level took another step towards the Golden Core Stage Dzogchen state.

After passing through 48 halls, Xiao Yao finally came to No. 40, which was half covered by the red mist.At this point, she could no longer take a step forward. The red mist seemed to have life, and if anyone approached, it would push out the intruder.

She also tried to use magic attacks to break through the fog to see if the gap could be opened. After trying twice, she found that these spells seemed to be drowned after entering, and were all absorbed by the fog without even a bubble.

At the same time, someone from below called her: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, come down first, I have already tried it, and I don't know what the structure of this mist is, neither spells nor magic weapons have any effect on it. If you want to go in, you have to go from the inside. "

Xiao Yao looked down and saw a man standing in front of the main hall, who was the first group of Sun Ergou who entered the "Duankong".

"Sun Daoyou, you and I meet again." She fell from mid-air and greeted with a smile.

The Sun Ergou was very happy to see her with a smile on his face: "Hehe, indeed, wherever we don't meet each other in life, I knew that Fellow Daoist Xiao would definitely find this place, as I was just talking about, this meeting will come soon. You Let me come in first, and the others are also inside."

Xiao Yao followed Sun Ergou into the No. 40 nine halls. Different from the previous 48 halls, this hall is very empty, except for one door covered by red mist, and there is nothing else.

She looked around, and there were quite a few people in the hall. Besides Sun Ergou, there were monk Wude, Qin Shuang, Qin Chuan, Qin Zi, the man from Qiankun Pavilion, and Xuanyuan Yi.

When everyone saw that it was her, they were all taken aback, with different expressions on their faces.

And Xuanyuan Yi stared at her even more, his eyes were full of surprise, with a hint of burning or joy, as if seeing a treasure house, or an exciting opponent.

"Unexpectedly, after only one day of separation, Fellow Daoist Xiao's cultivation has improved even more."
