Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

I don't know if he was stunned by the blow just now. After a few skulls wobbled and drifted inside, he turned his head as if sensing the existence of the living, and opened his eyes when he saw Lin Xiu with a shocked face. He rushed forward with a mouth full of pale teeth.

This unexpected enemy caused Lin Xiu to fall into a short-term panic. He is neither a reincarnated superpower nor an experienced casual cultivator who has fought all the way from the bottom. Before today, he had never really encountered a cultivator. In the previous battle, if it weren't for the ghost images seen on the screen in the previous life, it is estimated that the current performance would be even more unbearable.

Fortunately, it's not just Lin Xiuyi who is present now.

After taking a step back subconsciously, the hard touch behind him brought Lin Xiu back to his senses: he was not fighting alone.

"fluorescent!"

In desperation, it was too late to issue "commands", but to drive the spiritual power and get out of the way at the same time, several skulls rushed towards Ying who stayed in front, but the latter was already ready.

Wind Vortex Sword!

From the girl's open palm, the vortex caused by the wind aura turned rapidly, and the fine wind blades produced left scratches on the surrounding walls and ground, and exploded a second before the skull was about to hit.

With the dull sound of the blast, several skulls were blown away along the attacking trajectory. Lin Xiu, who barely regained his composure, raised his "pistol" with the intention of beating the dog in the water, aimed at one of them and made a "bang" sound.

The fire aura formed by the compression hit the bull's-eye at a distance of more than 20 meters. After another explosion, the dust stirred up inside blocked the sight. Seeing this, Lin Xiu didn't dare to continue chasing further, but took Ying to retreat a distance and observe carefully.

Half a minute later, as the dust in the main house gradually dissipated, the skulls had disappeared. Lin Xiu didn't naively think that they would be wiped out so easily. If nothing else, he was hit by a fire spirit bullet just now. There was only one skull, but there were as many as five skulls inside.

Keeping a safe distance, Lin Xiu circled the main house. During this period, he sent out three fire spirit balls and opened holes in all directions of the house. After making sure that there were no more skulls inside, he took Ying Ying with him. step into it.

"Ahem... what a chicken feather."

Fanning away the ashes that rose in front of him, Lin Xiu observed the house that was completely damaged on all sides in just a few minutes, looking for possible clues.

Now that he has regained his composure, Lin Xiu can roughly deduce some things based on the information he learned earlier.

If there is no accident, the first thieves should be the five skulls, and they are the only ones who can sneak into the basement to carry out the theft regardless of the heavy protection outside the staff: Judging from the short contact battle just now, those skulls can ignore the five skulls to some extent. When objects collide, it is as if two of them rushed out through the wall when they discovered Lin Xiu's existence and launched an attack.

After being blown back by Ying with the vortex sword, he should have used a similar method to escape from the inside, otherwise Lin Xiu, who was guarding outside the whole time, should be able to find them.

Squatting down, Lin Xiu touched the ground that still had a restful and cold aura—according to common sense, if he threw five fire spirit balloons in a row, even if it wasn’t hot, there shouldn’t be such a cold area, unless those few A skull with its own low-temperature air-conditioning effect just got in from here.

"Aura can cause interference and damage to those ghosts, otherwise I really can't think of any way to deal with them."

It is really troublesome for the skull to ignore the characteristics of matter, but both Ying's wind vortex sword and Lin Xiu's fire spirit ball have indeed exerted effects on them just now, so there is no need to worry too much.

To sum up, these skulls are indeed incomprehensible existences for mortals. After all, even the legendary innate masters can only lift the internal force a few feet away from the body. It is no different from these invisible skulls. To die, those ordinary people who have not cultivated their internal strength will be even more miserable. They have no choice but to relocate like the original villagers of Qingquan Town.

But it is much easier for monks with spiritual power to deal with them. The spells released by virtue of spiritual power or spiritual energy can indeed affect and hurt those skulls. It's just that Lin Xiu just encountered these ghosts for the first time. So panicked, if you calm down and face each other now, as long as you maintain a good fighting rhythm, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Actually, the intensity is not very exaggerated, but the appearance is easy to scare people."

After dusting off his hands, Lin Xiu stood up and began to plan how to capture or destroy those skulls.

It is not difficult to find a few skulls. After you have a preliminary understanding of their characteristics, you just need to follow the traces left by them to search. Those with a cold feeling are the places where they passed.

If you encounter a place where it is difficult to determine the direction on the way, you can press the handle of the fine steel sword, and through the sword body, you can sense the direction of the different-attribute aura that is different from the normal-attribute aura and continue to move forward.

In this way, after following the cold aura through most of Qingquan Town, Lin Xiu finally came to a dilapidated wooden house.

Take out the treasured amulet from the Qiankun bag and stick it on, and replace it with a fire spirit stone with sufficient spiritual energy, which transmits most of the wood attribute spiritual power in the body to Ying. Lin Xiu took a deep breath and raised his hand to point at this A low wooden house:

"Bang bang bang bang bang-"

23. Suxinzong and the five spirit bowls

A series of six fire spirit balls went down, even though the "bullets" mainly came from the spirit energy inside the spirit stone instead of the spirit power in Lin Xiu's body, after compressing so much in one breath and firing them out, Lin Xiu still felt weak as if his body had been hollowed out .

On the contrary, it is the excellent effect brought by these six consecutive hits.

Different from Yuanwai's expensive main house, the low wooden house in front of me was far inferior to the former in terms of material and structure, but it was on the verge of collapse after being hit by two fire spirit balls, and it tilted and collapsed when the third spirit ball exploded. The next three spiritual balls opened three big holes outside the ruined wooden house, and the sputtered fire spiritual energy ignited the wreckage, and the prototype of a big fire had already taken shape.

However, Lin Xiu has no time to pay attention to these things now. Under his nervous gaze, three skulls, which were much blurred than before, floated unsteadily from under the ruins, without the cold and ferocious aura just now. After discovering Lin Xiu's existence, he just came slowly.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu didn't dare to be careless. The seventh fire spirit balloon was already formed on his fingertips and aimed at the skull and was about to be shot. The sound came out, and the fire spirit ball condensed in Lin Xiu's hand was disturbed by this, and the three skulls that were slow at the top suddenly accelerated, and they were a few times faster than at the beginning. The speed of the minute rushed.

Facing the sudden turn of events, Lin Xiu didn't show any panic, but retreated from the spot, and handed over the frontal battlefield to the girl on one side.

"fluorescent--"

The girl was silent, but the movement of raising her foot proved that she still "heard" Lin Xiu's words.

—— Rock and Tide Overlapping Mountains and False

As the topaz-colored "God's Eye" on the girl's waist bloomed, a faint ripple spread from the ground where she landed, and the howling sound disappeared, replaced by a sharp scream from the ground.

Ying's movements did not stop there, but after solving the hidden threat on the ground, she raised her palm towards the three skulls attacking obliquely upwards. In the iconic wind vortex, the three skulls were not so lucky this time. It was just blown away, but was directly involved in the high-speed squeezing and rotating wind vortex, and felt a wave of "cleaning" from the wind blade before being blown away severely.

After doing all this, the girl put down her palms and returned to Lin Xiu with an indifferent face... Except that she couldn't speak, she was perfect.

Trying his best to ignore the two faded spirit stones on Ying's waist, Lin Xiu convinced himself so.

After receiving Ying's two rounds of "Elemental Explosion" from the front, the five skulls completely lost their ability to fight. Under the cabin.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu tentatively fired two fire spirit balls at the ruins, and approached after no response came, and saw the culprit in the burned ruins.

A hideous... dead man.

Because most of his body was burned by the flames caused by the fire spirit balloon, it is impossible to distinguish his specific appearance and age, only the hideous expression on his face, as if he felt some kind of intense emotion temporarily , so that it is too vivid to be preserved.

Other than that, it was the wooden bowl in his hand... Compared with the culprit, this wooden bowl deserved more attention and vigilance.

According to the material of ordinary wood, it should have been completely burned in a fire of this scale, but this wooden bowl is still spotless, and even the palm used by the murderer to hold it does not seem to be burnt anywhere else on the body. Dark but kept intact.

Without picking up the wooden bowl hastily, Lin Xiu squinted his eyes to observe carefully, and soon found five carved boy-like figures on the surface of the wooden bowl, but they gave Lin Xiu the same feeling as the ferocious skeletons he saw before. The head is almost like two extremes: one is cold and evil, and the other gives people a kind of warm and uplifting feeling just by looking at it.

"this is……"

Thinking back to the records he saw in the Sutra Pavilion, Lin Xiu hesitated: "A magic weapon?"

An abrupt sigh interrupted all of Lin Xiu's thoughts. When he turned his head, he instinctively drove his spiritual power. Ying on one side swung his sword faster than Lin Xiu, but only empty feedback came from him.

At the same time, the fire spirit balloon at Lin Xiu's fingertips has also been compressed, but when Lin Xiu saw the sighing subject, he couldn't launch it out——

—a monk.

"Who is your Excellency?"

It is different from the lucky one in Shengxuan City who bluffs and deceives, and it is not a casual cultivator in the woods of Luohe Village who has worked hard for a cunning cat, but a brother Shen who is similar to Lin Xiu's memory. A powerful immortal cultivator with an invisible sense of oppression.

Among other things, Lin Xiu didn't dare to act rashly just from the realm of her spiritual power that couldn't be seen at all.

The visitor was not dissatisfied with Lin Xiu's actions, but turned his head after looking at the wooden bowl, and bowed softly: "Su Jue, an inner disciple of the Suxin Sect."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Xiu also dispersed the fire spirit balloon on his fingertips, and said in return: "He Guizong's outer disciple, Lin Xiu."

Now that he has reported his background, the possibility of doing it has been greatly reduced, and Lin Xiu may not be able to stand still if he hides in the dark and sends out a blow with the opponent's spiritual power.

Su Jue did not show any abnormal behavior because of Lin Xiuhe's status as a disciple of Guizong, but turned her gaze to the wooden bowl again, and said softly: "I never thought that the secret treasure of Buddhism that Master Yuanxin relied on to become famous would one day become With today's appearance, I don't know how he will feel if he knows."

"Master Sujue... Senior sister knows the origin of this wooden bowl?"

Since the other party's realm is higher than his own, Lin Xiu hesitated for a while and called out senior sister according to He Guizong's name. Su Jue didn't object to this, but explained: "This wooden bowl is called Wuling Bowl. It is a magic weapon of the Master Yuanxin to protect the Dao, and it is used to suppress evil spirits and purify the miasma. In the past, the Master Yuanxin used it to subdue countless demons and ghosts, and saved many innocent lives, but today it has become such a magic weapon..."

As she spoke, Su Jue shook her head lightly, as if she couldn't bear to go on.

From the mouth of this female nun, Lin Xiu roughly outlined the image of a monk who is devoted to righteousness, but from what Su Jue said, the other party seems to have encountered misfortune?

"Master Yuanxin has been missing this magic weapon since his fall in Nanling Mountain five years ago. Su Jue searched for it according to Master's last wish. I didn't expect it to be a step too late."

Seeing the hideous appearance of the deceased, Lin Xiu thought thoughtfully: "A step too late?"

"Master Yuanxin used this five-spirit bowl to suppress demons and evil spirits a lot in the past. When the master was alive, he could purify this bowl diligently. However, after the master died, the evil spirit in it dissipated and easily polluted people's minds. Just like this mortal, when he was first He just used the spirit boy in the five-spirit bowl to steal some property, but he would gradually be bewitched, and when he realized the abnormality, he would already be deeply rooted in the devil, and he would either let his flesh and blood be devoured by the ghost boy or replace himself with others. But no matter what you do, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst, and you will inevitably suffer this disaster in the end."

Lin Xiu subconsciously glanced at the ferocious bowl-bearer, and secretly rejoiced that he didn't take this thing rashly just now: "Are you planning to take it back, senior sister?"

Su Jue shook her jade head lightly: "This five spirit bowl has been polluted and filthy, and it is unknown to keep it. If my junior agrees, Su Jue wants to destroy it here, so that no one will be harmed by it again."

Feeling a little strange in my heart, Lin Xiu still accepted the proposal.

So Su Jue pinched a formula, a blue light flew out from her head, lightly passed through the wooden bowl and returned to the original position - it was a hairpin.

Su Jue did not see any other actions, the wooden bowl that was not damaged even if it was burned by the fire quietly cracked open, and the five boys carved on it seemed to have lost all their spiritual energy and became ordinary.

Surprised by the scene, after destroying the five spirit bowl, Su Jue didn't intend to stay any longer but said goodbye to Lin Xiu. Naturally, Lin Xiu had no reason to refuse, and the two immediately separated and went back.

5 minutes later, outside Qingquan Town.

"Why didn't you just do it?"

An evil voice suddenly sounded from Su Jue's body, but Su Jue seemed to take it for granted, and replied calmly: "The disciple of He Guizong is a little weird."

"Do you mean the stiff wooden puppet or the sleight-of-hand spell?"

"Heh, you're talking about tricks and you still think I'm worried about that?"

Speaking of which, Su Jue took out a stone bowl from her cuff, and the sculptures of five boys appeared on it, but unlike the five spirit bowls, instead of the slightest hint of warmth on the faces of these five boys, they were replaced by full faces. Malicious and ferocious.

An illusory figure floated out of the stone bowl, and it was the existence that made the sound.

"Then why don't you do it? If he notices my presence and reports it to He Guizong, do you think it's really possible to escape with your and my mana realm?"

Su Jue looked indifferent: "The only one who can't escape is you, the evil cultivator of the Wuyun Sect, what does it have to do with my Suxin Sect disciple?"

"you--"

"To shut up!"

Amidst the scolding, Xuying closed his mouth indignantly, and seeing this, Sujue also slowed down his tone a little: "The fact that He Guizong's sky survey mirror in Qing Kingdom has not responded so far is enough to prove many things, and that He Guizong's disciple ...the sword on his body is dangerous."

Unexpectedly, it was the phantom tone of this answer that surprised: "Sword? What kind of sword? Does he use a sword?"

"It doesn't work, but it doesn't mean it can't be used."

After speaking, Su Jue didn't mean to explain anything, but put away the stone bowl and left.

On the other side, Lin Xiu also packed up and left Qingquan Town, heading back to Heguizong.

24. The possibility of Ying’s real birth

Because it took a little time to collect Ziying grass on the way, the time Lin Xiu finally spent returning to Heguizong was almost the same as when he went there.

After returning to the mountain gate, Lin Xiu first went to the Foreign Affairs Hall to report the next task, but it was different from the last time when there was a cunning cat fur as evidence. It took Xiu some time to report the entire mission process, and the disciples on duty had to hand over these records to the consul before they could draw a conclusion, so they would not be able to get paid for this mission for a while.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu was not frustrated, but turned around and ran directly to the mission hall, finishing the two "side missions" that he completed along the way, and he had a few extra spirit stones in his hands to supplement consumption.

After finishing these things, Lin Xiu did not immediately devote himself to new cultivation, but took some spiritual tea and ran to the Tibetan scripture pavilion as usual, and saw the figure who seemed to have never left before.

"Old Qian, I'm back."
