I asked you to play the dungeon, but you are here to raise the BOSS?

White Hmong Temple

"Dear Miss Holy Spirit, Mr. Lin, Miss Yue, I am the King of the Southern Barbarians."

"I just saw the letter that Saint Aunt asked Anu to bring. Thank you for your help."

An elegant young woman in her thirties led Lin Xuan and the others on the white stone road of the temple: "I swear on behalf of the Bai Miao clan that our clan will cooperate with you at all costs."

This young woman is Anu's mother.

After her husband died in battle, she took over as the leader of the Bai Miao tribe and was revered as the "King of the Southern Barbarians".

He is on an equal footing with Zhao Ling'er's biological father, the Black Miao Witch King, and is the highest leader of the Miao people.

In these years, he has been leading the white Miao people to resist the invasion of the black Miao people.

Because he is fair and dedicated to his people, he is very prestigious among the Bai Miao people.

"Uh, does the clan leader call himself the 'King of the Southern Barbarians'?"

Yao Yue looked a little surprised: "This name seems a little uncomfortable..."

"The white Miao are in the south of Miao territory, and the black Miao are in the north. Of course we are considered 'south'."

"The word 'barbarian' does have some derogatory connotations. In the Han... well, in outsiders' mouths, it implies that we Miao people are remote, backward, and ignorant."

The Bai Miao leader shrugged apologetically: "But you are right."

"ah?"

"The small Miao country is located in a corner of the country. Compared with the Han people who dominate the Central Plains and have numerous talents, it does have a lot of background."

"Ordinary Miao people can deny it or dismiss it."

The Bai Miao clan leader smiled slightly: "But I, the Bai Miao clan leader, cannot do these deceitful things."

"So the clan leader calls himself the 'King of the Southern Barbarians' to inspire his clan members?"

"Not only to inspire the tribe, but also to tell myself."

"You have to do something in your life."

The leader of the Bai Miao clan had a far-sighted look: "Whenever the word 'barbarian' can be removed in a dignified way, I can rest peacefully."

"It would be difficult for the patriarch to catch up with the gap of thousands of years in his lifetime..."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment: "But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as the patriarch insists on doing it, there will always be improvement."

"Hahaha! Mr. Lin is still honest."

The leader of the Bai Miao clan did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "So, I was a little disrespectful to the sages of the past generations just now, which made the young master laugh."

"His Highness is so heroic and noble, he is worthy of being the leader of the Miao Territory."

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "It is a blessing for us to be able to fight side by side with His Highness this time."

Although this Bai Miao patriarch is a woman.

But he is generous and bold, and behaves freely and freely, so he can be regarded as a heroic figure.

It's quite comfortable to deal with.

Speaking of which, the top leaders of the Bai Miao tribe are all women, and their strength is not as strong as the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult and those magical beasts.

But after all these years, they have still been able to maintain a stalemate with the black Hmong people.

This should be inseparable from the personal charm of the Bai Miao patriarch and others.

"It's my blessing to be able to fight side by side with you all."

The Bai Miao clan leader bowed slightly to Lin Xuan, and his expression became serious: "In front is the altar dedicated to the high priest. Miss Holy Spirit, please don't be too sad."

"Thank you, patriarch, I understand."

Zhao Linger gritted her teeth and followed the Bai Miao clan leader into the altar.

***

At the end of the temple, there is a stone statue of the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er.

This unrivaled witch queen looks to be about 25 or 26 years old, with long hair hanging down to the ground, and her appearance is exactly the same as Zhao Ling'er.

Perhaps because she is a wife, the astringent taste in Zhao Ling'er's body has disappeared, and she exudes the dignity of a mother who cares about the world.

Under normal circumstances, it is the one Cao Thief likes the most.

However, below the waist of the female statue, there is a long snake tail...

The average level Cao thief is probably not that brave.

After all, most people are just Ye Gonghaolong...

"After the battle between the Witch Queen and the Water Monster, we found this statue of unknown origin by the river, and... the remains of the Water Monster."

"Later, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult came in person, defeated us, took away the remains of the Water Monster, and planned to completely destroy the statue."

"I don't know what happened at that time, but the statue suddenly burst out with the light of the Holy Spirit, frightening the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult back."

"The holy aunt said at that time that it was the power of the Holy Spirit of the Nuwa clan."

"We speculate that after the Witch Queen and the Water Monster died together, their bodies turned into stone statues and continued to protect our clan."

The Bai Miao clan chief sighed: "High Priest, Miss Holy Spirit has grown up and is here to see you."

"..."

The statue suddenly glowed with a faint yellow light, seeming to have a hint of joy.

"You have indeed been here all along."

The leader of the Bai Miao clan sighed softly and stepped aside.

"Being integrated with the stone statue, is the remaining divine power used to keep the soul alive?"

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered: "So strong despair, sadness and compassion..."

The Witch Queen Lin Qing'er is indeed miserable.

Once the Nuwa people give birth, the child will absorb the mother's spiritual power when its mind is fully grown.

After the mother loses her spiritual veins, she will no longer stay young forever, and will get sick, grow old and die like ordinary people.

In order to stay with her lover forever in every reincarnation, Zixuan sealed Lin Qing'er with puppet soup as soon as she gave birth to her, thereby maintaining her immortality.

Zixuan is indeed as beautiful as a flower, but Lin Qing'er could only maintain an ethereal baby state for the next sixty or seventy years...

It was more than ten years after Zixuan's death that the new Holy Aunt paid a huge price to lift the seal.

After Lin Qing'er grew up, she finally got through all the hardships, married the Miao witch king, became the witch queen, and gave birth to her daughter Zhao Ling'er.

Then my husband didn’t know right from wrong and was deceived by the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult. He firmly believed that she was a snake demon and was determined to kill her.

So Lin Qing'er was disheartened and cared about the common people, so she had no choice but to die together with the water monster.

But even though Lin Qing'er was dead, she was still worried about the Moon Worshiping Leader's back-up plan, so she didn't dare to really lose her soul, so she could only forcibly attach herself to the stone statue.

She is looking forward to seeing her daughter, but is also afraid that her daughter will follow the same path as her.

In the plot, Lin Qing'er also passed everything on to Zhao Ling'er before she lost her last trace of soul power and was able to rest in peace.

It is estimated that Lin Qing'er can guess the following plot at a glance...

I really don't want to see it.

Even if this character is placed in a sadistic novel, it would be quite explosive.

"Mother, Ling'er is here to see you."

Zhao Ling'er wiped away her tears and hung the Nuwa Blood Jade around Lin Qing'er's neck: "Mother, look at Ling'er too!"

Nuwa's blood jade trembled slightly, exuding vast and ethereal blood and pouring into the stone statue.

The blood flowed, and the entire stone statue exuded a dense brilliance, lifelike.

"Um?"

After a moment, a soft and shocked female voice sounded in the temple: "This... what is this?"

"It's the blood jade that Nuwa Empress left behind back then!"

Zhao Ling'er was overjoyed: "Mother, are you alive?"

"The Nuwa Blood Jade that has been lost for thousands of years..., no wonder..."

Lin Qing'er sighed: "Silly boy, my mother died a long time ago. This is just a fragment of my mother's soul. The cycle of life and death is the law of heaven. Even if Nuwa is resurrected, she may not be able to bring her back to life."

"Woo!"

"Hey, don't cry! You've grown so big, why are you still like a child?"

Lin Qing'er was a little helpless: "Now that I have replenished my soul power through Nuwa Blood Jade, I am very happy to be able to say a few words to you."

"But seeing my mother like this, Ling'er really can't be happy..."

Zhao Ling'er wiped away her tears and pouted.

"As a member of the Nuwa family, my mother never thought that she would die a good death."

Lin Qing'er's voice was a little low: "Mom, I have thought about it over the years. Although I am worthy of all the people in the world, I am ashamed of you. Fortunately, Ling'er has finally grown up. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has such a strong talent."

"Huh? I'm very talented?"

Zhao Ling'er was startled: "Mom, are you trying to coax me?"

"Silly boy, how can my mother coax you at this time?"

Lin Qing'er hesitated for a moment: "Your talent potential is the strongest I have ever seen in my life, and I have a very strange feeling..."

"Ah? What did mother think of?"

"I can't tell you. You can only go to the trial cave to ask about Nuwa's true spirit and see if you can get her advice."

Lin Qing'er smiled and said: "You are one of the most outstanding members of my family, and I should be very happy to see you."

"Am I really that powerful?"

"But I feel that I am much worse than Brother Lin."

Zhao Ling'er hesitated for a moment and pointed at Lin Xuan: "Mom, look at Brother Lin's talent. The Nuwa Blood Jade was also given to Ling'er by Brother Lin."

"It's such an expensive gift. Let's think about it later and see how we can compensate others."

"As for talent, you don't have to underestimate yourself. The spiritual power and talent of our Nuwa family are enough to look down on all living beings in the world."

"Even the talented Moon Worshiping Leader is not as good as us, let alone this...this...huh?"

Lin Qing'er was silent for a full two minutes this time and became cautious: "The little girl Lin Qing'er has met the senior. The little girl's soul cannot leave this stone statue. It is inconvenient to salute. Please forgive me, senior!"

Zhao Ling'er: "..."

Bai Miao patriarch: "..."

"The Witch Queen is serious. I am not a senior, just a friend of Ling'er."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment and said calmly: "We want to save Miao territory from the great calamity, but we still lack the Holy Spirit Bead and Water Spirit Bead, so we ask the Witch Queen for help."

It feels pointless to discuss with Lin Qing'er why he is so strong.

Moreover, Lin Qing'er's conversation with her soul power would also consume a lot of money.

It would be funny if he couldn't cast the Soul-Returning Immortal Dream after his soul power was exhausted.

It’s better to use less routines and get back to the point.

Anyway, everyone has the same purpose, to kill the Moon Worshiping Cult Leader and the Water Monster...

"Sir, what I'm saying is that I was so excited to see Ling'er that I almost forgot about business."

"The Holy Spirit Bead is here, and I will hand it over to you later. But the Water Spirit Bead should have been in the past ten years ago, and you need to travel through time and space to get it."

As expected, Lin Qing'er no longer struggled with the issue of the two's strength, and said thoughtfully.

"Traveling through time and space..."

Zhao Ling'er was startled: "How to shuttle?"

"My mother's cultivation level can only take one person there. This matter is a bit difficult. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult with your current strength."

"If Mr. Lin or Miss Yue are willing, I will use the 'Returning Soul Immortal Dream' to take you ten years ago and take away the Water Spirit Pearl in the fairy dream."

Lin Qing'er hesitated for a moment and said in a solemn voice: "But the history in Huihun Immortal Dream has been doomed, and all written historical events cannot be changed."

"What if it changes?"

Lin Xuan asked.

"If the key events change, the dream of the soul fairy will no longer reflect this world, and the entire dream will completely collapse like a mirror, a flower in the water, and a moon in the water."

Lin Qing'er pondered for a moment: "But with your peerless cultivation, even if the dream world collapses, it won't hurt you at all."

"I see."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and looked at Yao Yue: "Yue'er, do you want to go?"

If he had taken action seriously, he would have hoped to directly kill the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult ten years ago.

However, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult is still alive and well...

Once you die, a space-time paradox will occur, and the dream will not be able to reflect this world.

According to the Witch Queen's advice, if you don't want to grind dungeons repeatedly, try to be a bystander.

This also shows that the level of "Returning Soul Immortal Dream" is slightly lower.

If we could directly travel back and forth in the long river of time, we would not be restricted by real history.

"The dream of returning to the soul..."

Yao Yue pondered for a moment, looking a little hesitant: "If I attack with all my strength, can I defeat the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult and the Water Monster?"

"There shouldn't be much hope."

"You..., hum! Forget it, I'm actually worried about this too."

Yao Yue let out a sullen breath: "In that case, Ling'er and I will wait for you here and come back early."

"Brother Lin, be more careful!"

Zhao Ling'er blinked her eyes, stood beside Yao Yue, and said softly.

"Don't worry, the Moon Worshiping Cult Leader shouldn't be able to hurt me."

Lin Xuan nodded and looked at Lin Qing'er's stone statue: "Without further delay, please invite the Witch Queen."

"Okay! Mr. Lin looked into my eyes! Well, that's it..., eh? Ah, this..."

Lin Qing'er was silent for a moment, her dark eyes full of helplessness: "Mr. Lin, your mental power is too strong, I can't lead you into the fairy dream..."

The dream of returning to the soul is not the literal meaning of entering a dream.

In fact, it is a special magical ability to travel through time and space that is unique to the Nuwa ethnic group.

It seems like a dream but not a dream, it seems fake but still real!

But no matter what, Lin Qing'er's mental power is needed to influence Lin Xuan.

Don't say that Lin Qing'er is just a soul now and does not have this ability.

Even if she survives, it will probably be of no use.

"As long as the witch queen performs the magic, I will come in on my own initiative."

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and injected a wisp of fairy spirit into Lin Qing'er's statue.

"Thank you sir!"

After receiving Lin Xuan's fairy spirit, Lin Qing'er was obviously relieved, and her eyes seemed to turn into two black stars, reflecting the sky and the earth.

As the breeze blew by, Lin Xuan's figure gradually became blurred and slowly disappeared.

"Excuse me, please wait for a few days."

Lin Qing'er showed relief in her eyes, slowly closed the eyelids of the stone statue, and said no more.

Obviously this casting of the spell consumed a lot of her soul power.

"Suffering such a big misunderstanding, we still do not change our original intention and protect the people without any regrets..."

The leader of the Bai Miao clan looked at the silent Lin Qing'er and sighed: "High Priest, I am far inferior to you."

***

There was a flash of light and shadow, and Lin Xuan opened his eyes and found that he was in a small cell.

Lin Qing'er had transformed from a stone statue into a normal human form, smiling and looking at him curiously.

Not surprisingly, this was the night when Lin Qing'er and the Water Monster died together ten years ago.

"The Witch Queen?"

Lin Xuan's thoughts moved slightly and he cupped his hands.

It looked like Lin Qing'er was wearing normal clothes, and she wasn't wearing any hand or foot shackles or anything like that.

It's also possible that the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult felt that there was no point in using that thing to deal with Nuwa's descendants.

If you specially build one, the price/performance ratio is too low.

"It's no wonder that friends come from far away."

Lin Qing'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Everyone has just introduced each other, so I won't say more."

"Um?"

Lin Xuan was startled: "Who are you now, who will you be ten years from now?"

"Yes, after I cast the soul-returning fairy dream, it also traveled to ten years ago."

"So I said hello to my current self and asked her to lend me her body for a while and say a few words to my husband."

Lin Qing'er looked a little naughty: "If you hadn't given the Nuwa Blood Jade to Ling'er to replenish my soul power, I would have only helped you come to the fairy dream without being able to interfere or communicate."

"The Witch Queen is a great talent!"

Lin Xuan was very satisfied: "This is not the place to talk, let's go out first?"

Although the Witch Queen is smart, it is a bit challenging to explain all those things to her in a short while.

Now that the Witch Queen is possessed by the Witch Queen ten years later and is fighting on her behalf, there is no need to waste my breath.

Everyone saves trouble and worry.

"Wait a minute! There are many Moon Worshiping Sect magic circles set up inside and outside this cell. They claim to be able to imprison immortals. They are extremely destructive."

Lin Qing'er frowned and said: "Now my spiritual power has gradually been transferred to Ling'er, my cultivation has been greatly reduced, and the Heavenly Snake Staff is no longer around..."

"Well, that's definitely a problem."

Lin Xuan looked at the fine iron prison door engraved with incantations, then reached out and flicked it gently.

Wuyou's inner strength surged, and the cage pillars twisted like cooked noodles, with a hole large enough for two people to pass side by side appeared in the middle.

"..."

Lin Qing'er was stunned for a moment, with a look of horror in her beautiful eyes.

Most of the magic circles set up here are to restrict the prisoners' spiritual power and prevent them from using magical powers to escape from trouble.

But the enigmatic young man in front of him just waved his hand and tore down this foolproof cage.

And, what is this?

Isn’t there even a slight fluctuation in spiritual power when casting a spell?

Even gods are not so outrageous!

"Would the Witch Queen bring me the Heavenly Serpent Staff as well?"

Lin Xuan walked out of the cage, looked back at the dumbfounded Lin Qing'er, and asked.

"Ah? Ah! No, no need..."

Lin Qing'er shook her head and walked out of the cell speechlessly: "Mr. Lin's cultivation of the gods, I really admire..."

"The Witch Queen has given you a reward."

Lin Xuan thought for a while: "What are the Witch Queen's plans now?"

"Let's go out along the secret passage..."

Lin Qing'er led the way and said softly: "Can I ask the young master a few questions?"

"The Witch Queen says it's okay."

"My master has taken part in the creation of nature, and I am afraid he has already become a god and a Buddha. But I don't know why he helped me to have descendants?"

Lin Qing'er smiled bitterly and said: "Others may still want something, but with the master's cultivation, I am afraid that everything in the world will be at your fingertips..."

"It's not just Miao people..."

Lin Xuan smiled: "If you say that I am doing this for the sake of humanity and the common people in the world, will the Empress Wu believe it?"

"This..., I believe..."

There was admiration in the eyes of the Witch Empress, and she said quietly: "I just guessed that the young master is an ancient power, and was born in this world to quell the catastrophe."

"Um?"

Lin Xuan was stunned: "What ancient power?"

"Maybe the memory of the young master's previous life has not yet awakened, so the young master does not know your identity."

"But the young master is by no means fighting alone. Fighting for the common people is also the destiny of my Nuwa family."

Lin Qing'er smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you just now."

"...What do you want to thank me for?"

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, a little speechless.

This kind of overly smart big sister often only believes in her own judgment.

Because her strength far exceeded her expectations.

So the sister immediately made up a bunch of weird things to try to explain these abnormal phenomena.

Well, this kind of active transformation is quite good and makes people feel more relaxed.

If the Witch Queen were the female version of Lu Zhishen...

Just describing the space of reincarnation will drive people crazy.

"Although Ling'er was bright, gentle, kind and tolerant when she was a child, there was a strong aura of death between her eyebrows..."

"I speculate that Ling'er will only follow the same path as me and lose his soul."

"Of course, as a descendant of Nuwa, I have the mission to save the common people. If I die for this, it is a worthy death."

Lin Qing'er paused and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "But this time when I saw Ling'er, I found that the deathly aura between her eyebrows had disappeared. This is naturally because I met the young master and was able to change my life."

"My wife was lively and lovely. It would be a pity if she died early."

"But love comes from the heart, who can count the hearts of the people..."

Lin Xuan had some enlightenment in his heart, and said in deep thought: "If Empress Nuwa can manifest a saint, we should also try our best to help the witch queen come back to life."

The Witch Queen's strength and wisdom are both remarkable.

It would be a pity if he really lost his soul like this.

However, Lin Xuan couldn't help much and could only mention it to Nuwa.

If Nuwa is unwilling or powerless...

Lin Xuan couldn't help it.

After all, the Witch Queen is in a special situation. She has merged with the stone statue and is basically in the form of a stone statue...

You can't persuade her to change her job to become a gargoyle, right?

"I'm afraid that my life is over. I can see Ling'er and...cough! I'm satisfied now. Master, you don't have to force yourself too much."

While talking, the Witch Queen led Lin Xuan around seven times and came to a huge pool: "Below this pool is a river that can lead to the outside world. Let's leave from here!"

"I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome."

"ah?"

"Bitch, you...where are you going?"

At this moment, a cold and stern voice sounded, and a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance and gorgeous clothes strode out of the palace across the pool.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Behind the Witch King, followed a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and with a gloomy temperament: "The king originally trusted the queen very much, and also ordered me to investigate the matter thoroughly and clear the grievances of the queen. But the queen has a guilty conscience and wants to It’s ridiculous to abscond in fear of crime.”

The sirens kept sounding, and hundreds of elite warrior mages from the Black Miao tribe gathered from all directions with murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, hey..."

Lin Qing'er glanced at the middle-aged man across from her and sighed softly: "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I failed this time. But I still have a little soul power left, so I should be able to perform the Dream Journey again."

"The man in black robe behind the Witch King is the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, right?"

"Exactly..."

"Since this dream is about to fade into nothingness, we might as well move a little bit so that the Witch Queen can vent her anger."

"ah?"

"Have all the people present been killed?"

Lin Qing'er: "..."
