Eternal Tranquility

In the darkness, a pair of shimmering eyes suddenly opened, stared quietly and sharply for a moment, and then slowly closed again.

Liu Qinghuan leaned on the cold and wet stone, listening to the rustling sound coming from outside the cave. It was the sound made by the wind blowing the branches and leaves of the fern growing tenaciously on the cliff. It was extremely subtle, but in today's stagnant water It is clearly audible in normal environments.

After resting for a moment, he raised his hand and touched his abdomen. The wound torn open by the Ghost Owl King had scabbed under the powerful recovery ability of the Holy Body of Aoki. A slight itching sensation was felt, and he thought it would be gone in a short time. hinder.

It was just that he had shed a lot of blood before and stained a large area of ​​his clothes. He couldn't change them now. Liu Qinghuan could only endure the bloody smell left after the blood dried on his clothes.

"It's a pity that this cassock has such a big tear now. I'm afraid it won't be usable in the future..."

The strength of the Ghost Owl King is close to the peak of the eighth level, and the robe with the word "True Magic" on him was obtained that year on the shore of Huitou in Yin Yang Xutian. The grade is lower, so it cannot withstand the plot of the Ghost Owl King. That claw that has been there for a long time.

After whispering, the small cave became quiet again. Liu Qinghuan sat quietly in the darkness, recalling everything that had happened since entering the Ji Dou Immortal Mansion, and thinking about what to do next.

Now it seems that if we don't return, we are separated. We don't know when we will be reunited, or even if we can come back. It's unknown.

But Bu Gui Bu Gui was beside him. There were two roads before him. Either he climbed back to the top along the cliff and explored Ji Douxian Mansion on his own. Although the cliff was high and deep, he couldn't use it. Mana, but with the strong body, it is not difficult to climb up, but it will take some time.

Or, keep the same purpose as when you came here, find a way to return to the stone steps made of Luanpo Soul Jade, and continue to search for the cave of the old man.

To be honest, Liu Qinghuan was not very interested in Lao Shizi Cave Mansion, and most of the reason why he came to this point was because he refused to let him go.

However, the choice of retreating to the cliff is not much better than continuing down. With his current combined cultivation level, it is already too early to enter the secret realm of the sun and moon in the water, and Ji Dou Immortal Mansion is a secret realm within a secret realm. , even Mahayana monks such as Gui Bugui and others flocked to it.

If he wants to achieve something here, he will have to face many crises, some of which may even be methods or restrictions left by ancient powers. Just like the old man's cave in Tianji, where he almost fell to death, but there was no door yet. touch.

And even if he escapes Gui Bugui's control and meets several other Mahayana monks, it's really hard to tell - others don't have the slightest love for him.

After thinking for a long time, it was difficult to make a decision. Liu Qinghuan sighed, but he had almost rested, and the wound on his abdomen had basically healed.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, no matter what you do, every step in this fairy mansion will be dangerous..."

He stretched out, but as soon as he raised his hand, he touched the walls of the cave on both sides. The ferocious bone wings on his back that could not be retracted scraped against the rocks, and stone chips and dust fell down one after another.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Liu Qinghuan spat out the stone chips that flew into his mouth, and then he felt that he couldn't stretch his arms and legs. When he dug the hole before, he just wanted to be able to fit in, and he didn't care about whether it was comfortable or not.

Now he was in no hurry to leave, so he thought about making the hole wider so that he could at least stand up and move his hands and feet.

After looking at the narrow stone cave, he didn't bother to use his hands. He raised his sharp bone wings and poked, breaking a rock, and then swept the fallen stones away, very neatly.

There was a "pop" sound, and the bone wing suddenly got stuck. Liu Qinghuan turned around and looked, but it turned out that it had penetrated into a stone crevice, and it was quite deep.

Looking closer, the crack should have originally existed in the rocks, with a cold and wet wind blowing slowly from inside.

Liu Qinghuan was startled and explored with his hand: Sure enough, there was wind. Could it be that the cracks in the stone were connected to other spaces?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel happy. My hands and bone wings went into battle together, digging into the cracks in the rocks and digging deeper. However, after digging for seven or eight feet, except for the cracks in the stone becoming wider, no hidden caves or stone chambers filled with treasures could be seen.

Liu Qinghuan was secretly happy because of these divergent thoughts, and suddenly realized that he had dug a hole like this before, but he couldn't remember where and when.

Pieces of gravel rolled down to his feet. During this period, other natural stone cracks appeared in the rocks, but he only dug towards the one brought by the wind, and did not keep track of how far he dug.

Hearing a crisp sound, Liu Qinghuan paused and picked up the fallen stone.

"This is……"

The ink-like color feels smooth and cold to the touch, forming a vertical oval shape and integrating into one body. Dots of bright green light spill out, as if insects gather and dance, which is fantastic and beautiful. There was a small dent on it, which was pierced by the bone wings, but it was not broken.

Liu Qinghuan's hand shook suddenly and threw it out!

"Ji Ling Guan!"

Even though Liu Qinghuan's spiritual power cannot be used now, when he held the stone in his hand just now, he could still feel that the spiritual power in his meridians was being sucked away quickly like wind and clouds!

Liu Qinghuan was shocked: "There is Ji Ling Guan here!"

Jiling gallbladder, a kind of spiritual mineral, is named because it looks like a gallbladder. It is extremely rare. But as long as one piece appears, all the spiritual energy within a hundred miles will be sucked away by it, turning it into a barren land.

As Liu Qinghuan continued to dig, several more pieces of this courage-shaped spiritual ore were dug out, which made him afraid to touch them with his hands, so he could only use his bone wings to move them away.

At the same time, a terrible guess also emerged. This abyss will become a forbidden spiritual power, which is most likely related to the existence of Ji Lingdan.

"Then how many spiritual galls are needed to turn such a large area into a forbidden spirit realm? Could it be...a mineral vein?"

As if to confirm his guess, more and more Ji Ling Guan appeared in the rocks. They appeared one after another, making it almost impossible for people to start. If you are not careful, you will bump into them, and there is not much spiritual power left. sucked away.

The increasingly empty meridians even gave him tearing pain, and Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but want to give up.

Otherwise, forget it?

At this time, there was a faint hint of refreshing fragrance, just like the sudden appearance of nectar after a long drought, which refreshed Liu Qinghuan's spirit, but when he smelled it again, he couldn't smell it anymore.

He decided to keep digging.

Even if the spiritual power is sucked out, there is no need for spiritual power here anyway, so there is no use keeping it.

With a popping sound, the bone wings pierced the air again, and water vapor rushed towards his face. Liu Qinghuan stood by a huge underground lake, and the glittering light was flying everywhere around the lake shore, as if falling into a wonderful dream, a beautiful and romantic scene. scene.

However, Liu Qinghuan only felt scared and did not dare to move for a long time.

After calming down, he jumped onto a black stone without any glimmer. Suddenly he smelled the refreshing aroma again and couldn't help but lower his head to look at the lake.
