Do not die

In fact, when Meng Zhou had such an idea in his mind, he already had an obvious tendency.

So, do you want to verify it?

Due to the lack of more information, Meng Zhou could not even determine whether there were more such altars. Naturally, he did not know whether there were any potential patterns that could help him search more comprehensively.

These are still unclear things and need more verification.

"However, since this first altar was found in the crater, it might as well go to other craters to see it."

With Meng Zhou thinking in his mind, he naturally thought of the violent earth fire eruption he saw in the distance just after leaving Qingxuan Territory, crossing the "gap zone" and heading to the Alchemy Territory.

"You can go and have a look there."

As soon as such thoughts emerged in his mind, Meng Zhou shook his head in his mind and suppressed these thoughts.

He decided to end the trip.

The harvest from this trip has been huge, far beyond his expectations before the trip.

What he discovered and gained on the way back was completely beyond his expectation.

Perhaps, if he continues to pursue the ideas in his mind, and with Yaya's guidance, he will make more valuable discoveries.

But that has deviated far from the original intention of his trip.

Although, the series of discoveries he made during this trip aroused his endless curiosity.

But Meng Zhou would not let his curiosity lead him.

He has his own rhythm and plan.

For now, even if these five domains are really a prison, it is still a stable prison.

Before his cultivation reached the ninth level of pill formation, Meng Zhou had no intention of taking the initiative to break this stability.

This is the fundamental difference between him and the five ancestors of Qingxuan, the fourth ancestor of Hehuan and other five sects.

He can be steady, he can afford to wait, and he is not in a hurry.

On the contrary, this kind of stability is what Meng Zhou values ​​​​extremely.

Because now he still has a lot of room for growth, and he will become stronger and stronger.

Under such circumstances, he especially needs to pay attention to "property" in his actions.

Because of this thought, Meng Zhou resisted the urge to immediately unlock the answer and satisfy his inner curiosity, and returned to the Qingxuan Domain without stopping at all.

…

On Qiyun Peak.

Before you know it, summer passes and autumn comes.

A slim and light figure, carrying a bamboo basket, was walking through a spiritual orchard on the gentle slope at the edge of the peak.

Most of these spiritual fruit trees were of lower-grade third-order quality, with some mid-grade third-order spiritual fruit trees. There were also three high-grade third-grade spiritual fruit trees, rooted at the nodes where the earth's spiritual power converged.

These spiritual fruit trees are considered to be the most precious resource on Qiyun Peak besides Qiyunfeng itself, and they are also part of the huge heritage of Qingxuan Sect.

They are like the base of the formation, shouldering the important task of sorting out Qi Yunfeng's earth-line spiritual power. At the same time, they also enjoy the nourishment of Qi Yunfeng's high-quality earth-line spiritual power.

Even some varieties whose environment is not very suitable can grow well in this orchard.

These were carefully planned and cultivated shortly after the Qingxuan Sect was established. Counting from the moment they sprouted and broke the ground, they are more than a hundred years old.

Even the three third-level high-grade spiritual fruit trees have all passed their flowering stage after a hundred years of growth. Among the branches and leaves, there are green spiritual fruits the size of thumbs hanging.

It will take at least twenty or thirty years before the first crop of spiritual fruits matures.

However, although the third-level high-grade spiritual fruits cannot be counted on yet, those large numbers of third-level low-grade spiritual fruits have entered the maturity stage decades ago. Due to the different habits of each spiritual fruit, every ten or twenty It will bear abundant fruits again in the next year.

Now, many are in the ripe fruiting stage, with red, orange or purple spiritual fruits hanging on the treetops.

There are also two third-level middle-grade spiritual fruit trees that are also in the ripening stage.

The slim and light figure shuttled between these spiritual fruit trees, and the spiritual fruits fell from the treetops without wind, and fell steadily into the bamboo basket in her hand.

Strangely, the spiritual fruits that fell into her bamboo basket were not the most ripe ones, but the ones with the most eye-catching color and the most pleasing appearance.

Finally, this figure stopped in front of a third-level mid-grade spiritual fruit tree, seeming to hesitate.

But in the end, she slowly stretched out her hand forward.

…

In the stone pavilion near the cliff.

Meng Zhou, who was carefully making tea, heard the noise and turned to look.

Bai Zhi was walking into the pavilion carrying a basket full of spiritual fruits.

Meng Zhou glanced casually at first, then withdrew his gaze and continued to make tea. Then he seemed to realize something, turned his head to look again, and finally couldn't help but said with a surprised look on his face:

"Why are you picking so many unripe astringent fruits?"

In the bamboo basket carried by Bai Zhi, there is a kind of green spiritual fruit that is extremely unique in appearance, but can make people lose teeth just by looking at the color.

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then put these green spiritual fruits into the storage bag as if nothing had happened, revealing half a basket of mature spiritual fruits, and said casually:

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been thinking about a brand new elixir wine recipe recently, and I need this unripe green spiritual fruit as a guide."

In fact, after Meng Zhou blurted out in surprise, he already knew why Bai Zhi did this. This was a complete "face control".

She probably did this just because this spiritual fruit looked good.

However, since Bai Zhi took the initiative to find a step for himself, of course he was happy to let it go.

Bai Zhi sat down opposite Meng Zhou, and Meng Zhou handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to her.

Bai Zhi curled her lips, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Feeling that after the tea soup entered the abdomen, the sharp force spread from the stomach, pierced all over the body, and then spread to the limbs and bones. Bai Zhi finally sighed softly and said:

"It still has that familiar smell...this is the only thing that still feels familiar to me."

As she said that, she looked at Meng Zhou, suppressing the awkwardness in her heart, and said softly: "What on earth is going on?"

What made her feel strange was not just the drastically changed environment?

What made her feel most uncomfortable was Meng Zhou's current appearance.

In the past, whether in Sanchuan Plateau or Aurora Cave, Meng Zhou always used "Ge Ping" to get along with her.

The person who communicated deeply with her and blended her body and mind was also "Ge Ping".

Now, when I wake up, not only the environment has changed drastically, but the people around me have also changed from "Ge Ping" to "Ge Ping"'s master "Qi Huangzi".

If Meng Zhou hadn't used a rather arrogant and unreasonable method to forcefully prove "I am who I am" for the first time, Bai Zhi's mentality would have exploded.

However, even so, her current mentality is not far away from exploding.

What kind of song should I sing on the mountain? Since he lived in Qiyun Peak as "Qihuangzi", even with his carefully arranged mountain protection formation, he was not worried that someone would break in at will. Meng Zhou still naturally used "Qihuangzi" Qi Yunfeng acted as a "zi".

He really didn't expect that this was just a small matter that he decided casually, but it would cause Bai Zhi such a big trouble.

Fortunately, despite some minor twists and turns, this problem was finally solved.

Nearly half a year has passed since he returned from the investigation into the Realm of Death.

Meng Zhou also finally called out Bai Zhi, who had been sleeping in the sea of ​​consciousness for more than three years.

Now that he had made this decision, Meng Zhou was ready to face Bai Zhi's questioning.

This problem must be solved eventually.

In the past, because each time Bai Zhi was taken into the sea of ​​consciousness, the time was not very long, and the living environment was very monotonous, either in the Sanchuan Plateau Cave or the Aurora Cave. In addition, Bai Zhi was not too concerned about the changes in time in the outside world, so he just passed by in a hurry. .

But this time, no matter what, I can't fool him.

First, the time span is too big, more than three years.

——This time I brought Bai Zhi into the sea of ​​consciousness on the eve of attending the Qingxuan Sect’s centenary celebration. At that time, Meng Zhou had just turned seventy-one, and now he is already halfway through his seventy-fourth year.

The second is the big change in the environment. Before this, the two people's activities were basically concentrated in Sanchuanyuan Cave and Aurora Cave.

Moreover, Meng Zhou could feel that these two places had different emotional divisions in Bai Zhi's heart, and this feeling became more obvious in the later stages.

Relatively speaking, Sanchuan Yuandongfu is more social, although their social circle is pitifully small.

The Aurora Cave is more private. Bai Zhi is obviously more comfortable and comfortable here, and she spends the most time here.

Now, when I wake up with my eyes open, the surrounding environment has changed drastically, turning into a mountain with higher spiritual energy quality, but extremely unfamiliar.

Problems have to be faced eventually.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to uncover the real and possibly fatal truth - for Bai Zhi.

Meng Zhou cleared his throat and said, "There is a secret that I haven't told you...well, it has to do with you."

When Bai Zhi heard the word "secret", she immediately became energetic.

His body straightened up subconsciously, his eyes widened as he stared at Meng Zhou: "Secret? Secrets related to me? What are you hiding from me?!"

"Remember when you sneaked into my cave, but fell into a trap and was tied up by Wu Hua Da, right?"

Bai Zhi's eyes wandered for a moment and she coughed lightly, "Let's talk about business, why are you talking about this?"

Meng Zhou said seriously: "What I'm talking about is business!"

Bai Zhi was startled, "Is it related to this?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

Bai Zhi took a breath quietly, "Say!"

"You said at the time that you sneaked into my cave because you were guided by some kind of telepathy.

What I didn't tell you is that the moment I saw you, I actually had some special telepathy in my heart. "

Speaking of this, Meng Zhou looked at Bai Zhi and said in a particularly serious tone: "It's about you!"

At this moment, Bai Zhi's chest was already bulging high - filled with curiosity.

"What did you sense?" Bai Zhi subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, but there was a hint of impatient urgency in her tone.

Meng Zhou did not answer directly, but continued:

"However, the induction was too strange, and I was a little unsure at the time.

Until late one night, after confirming that you had fallen asleep completely, I quietly entered your room. "

"Hiss~~"

Bai Zhi gasped uncontrollably, her black and white eyes were so wide open that she almost fell out and hit the ground, just a little bit.

That incredible expression was like looking at the ultimate pervert.

The bulging chest suddenly hunched over, showing an instinctive reaction of defense.

"You...how could you do this?" Bai Zhi stammered.

Meng Zhou looked at her quietly without speaking.

After a while, seeing that the "ultimate pervert" in front of her did nothing, Bai Zhi's curiosity became strong again, and she easily overcame the sudden instinctive uneasiness in her heart.

"You...what did you do to me?"

Meng Zhou felt speechless when he saw her "performance".

What are you afraid of?

Tell me, what are you worried about?

Meng Zhou picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and then said slowly:

"I took you into the sea of ​​consciousness."

Bai Zhi looked at Meng Zhou blankly.

Meng Zhouyi sat there motionless, saying nothing.

After a long time, Bai Zhi blinked and asked softly:

"Then what?"

Meng Zhou asked strangely: "What then?"

Bai Zhi seemed a little embarrassed, a little entangled, and seemed to be a little excited:

"It's just, it's just... uh, I'm a little hard to express... it's just... it's just... you sneaked in while I was sleeping in the middle of the night, just... there's no... um... understand?"

Bai Zhi, who didn't know how to express herself, subconsciously danced her hands randomly, sometimes making movements such as twitching, rubbing, and ravaging that were close to the stream of consciousness.

Meng Zhou was stunned. What on earth are you expecting to happen? ! !

Can't you hear the point of what I'm saying? !

In order to ensure that the information he conveyed was accurate enough, Meng Zhou said word for word again:

"I said, I will take you into the sea of ​​consciousness!"

Bai Zhi suddenly coughed slightly and took a sip from the tea cup.

When she put down the tea cup, she had transformed into a dignified, cold and pure fairy again.

She looked at Meng Zhou again, her eyes filled with wisdom after deep thought.

"I remembered that there were several times when you took the initiative to ask me to discuss the art of music, and I felt that my energy was exhausted... This was your intention, right?"

The best way to recover from excessive mental exertion is deep sleep.

Meng Zhou smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to Bai Zhi's "accusation".

Bai Zhi stared at Meng Zhou closely and said, "So, during the years we have been together, you have done a lot of things behind my back?"

Meng Zhou coughed lightly and defended: "I didn't carry you on my back. I always carried you with me."

It's just that you don't know it. Meng Zhou added in his heart.

These words made Bai Zhi's eyes become dazed again. She seemed to have imagined many scenes and plots in her mind.

After a long time, her eyes softened again.

"Did you really get this ability after meeting me?"

"Yeah." Meng Zhou.

"Have you used it on anyone else?" Bai Zhi asked.

"It's useless...I mean, this ability is only useful to you." Meng Zhou said.

Bai Zhi's eyes became softer and softer, still a little sticky, but her tone was a bit resentful:

"Why are you telling me this now?"

"ah?!"

"Since you have such ability, you should have told me earlier. Is there any need to be secretive? It's like it's something shady!"

"Ah..." Meng Zhou opened his mouth, and finally bowed his head and apologized: "My fault." (End of Chapter)
