Nine Turns of Nirvana

Lu Yu followed Yang Chudie out of the Mirror Garden and came to an empty back hill.

There was no one around, and Lu Yu was confused when he saw Yang Chudie talking to a bare rock.

"Come out, he's awake."

The bare rocks were strangely twisted, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

After a while, the appearance of a person was revealed, and it was Fang Haoran from Wangyue Peak.

Lu Yu was greatly surprised. He didn't know what kind of methods Fang Haoran had used to be able to hide in the rocks. There was no abnormality at all from the appearance.

Come to think of it, he is the person Yang Chudie said has been waiting for him. So, he has been hiding here for seven days and seven nights?

"You finally woke up! When I brought you back from Tianjue Mountain, you were so seriously injured, but you were able to jump up and down in the blink of an eye. I knew that your kid would be fine this time."

Fang Haoran patted the dust on his body and strode over.

"Have you been pretending to be a big rock here these days?" Lu Yu asked curiously.

Fang Haoran didn't answer, but turned to look at Yang Chudie aside: "Can we talk alone?"

Yang Chudie glanced back and forth between the two of them, snorted as if dissatisfied, turned and walked away without saying a word.

Fang Haoran raised his hands to lay down barriers. These barriers looked familiar to Lu Yu. They were protective barriers used to block outside prying eyes.

"I am here because of the Master's wishes. He is worried that you are in danger, so he ordered me to stay here."

After the barrier was set up, Fang Haoran spoke.

Lu Yu looked at him funny: "What? Don't you need to avoid suspicion now? Don't you worry about others seeing us walking too close?"

Fang Haoran shrugged: "You are no longer what you used to be. Even a little preferential treatment will not arouse others' suspicion. Besides, not many people know that I am staying here."

Lu Yu's eyes widened: "You are just pretending to be a big rock outside the door, what kind of preferential treatment is this?"

Fang Haoran squinted and said: "I am the deacon of Wangyue Peak, the strongest member of Guihai Realm of Dali Sword Sect, and I am standing guard outside the door as your bodyguard. Isn't this considered preferential treatment?"

After a pause, he straightened up and his expression became serious.

"The senior brother in charge has already told me what happened in Xiao Li Tian's secret realm. I know that you were the one who eliminated that monster at the last moment, and the senior senior brother in charge provided you with help!"

"This incident is too strange. Someone must be behind it. You are the only person who has had close contact with that monster. If it leaves any clues, you should know it best... That's why I have been staying here. , Firstly, it is to protect your safety, and secondly, it is to ask you, did that monster leave any clues? "

Lu Yu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the black bead that rolled out of the crack in the stone after the monster died, but it remained calm on the surface.

"Is it possible that so many days have passed and you haven't investigated the ins and outs of this matter? You don't know the situation inside the secret realm, but what about the situation outside? Has any suspicious person come to Dali Sword Sect these days?"

"Also, what about the Kongming Magic Array? Why did the Kongming Magic Array suddenly fail? It works perfectly with that supreme monster!"

Fang Haoran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The Presbytery of Suspicious Persons is already investigating, but the workload is too heavy and there is no news yet..."

"As for the Kongming Magic Array, as soon as the monsters were solved, the master asked me to ask Master Cangsong to come to the scene to investigate. The magic circle was indeed tampered with, and the suspicion was locked on a deacon, but The suspected deacon disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared from the world..."

Lu Yu spread his hands and said, "I bet you have been working in vain for so many days. After going around in circles, you still want to get clues from me?"

Fang Haoran said angrily: "I'm not here to listen to your sarcasm and sarcasm. Do you have any clues about that monster?"

"Maybe there is, maybe there is not, it's hard to say..."

Fang Haoran was extremely depressed: "You brat, stop being so pretentious here. Tell me whether it's there or not! This is a major matter related to the safety of the entire sect, and we can't tolerate joking here!"

Lu Yu quickly smiled and said: "Fang War God, calm down! I didn't mean to show off. When the monster died, it did leave something behind, but I'm not sure whether that thing has anything to do with this matter or not. clue……"

Fang Haoran suddenly became energetic: "What is it? Take it out and have a look!"

So Lu Yu took out the Qiankun bag and put his hand into it with a smile, but soon his smile solidified on his face.

"What's taking you so long? You should take it out quickly?" Fang Haoran urged.

Lu Yu said with a stiff face: "That thing is gone!"

"It's gone?" Fang Haoran couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is it missing? Look carefully!"

So Lu Yu completely opened the Qiankun Bag and dumped all the contents inside. After a while, the pile in front of the two of them was like a hill.

There are all kinds of clothes, food, elixirs, talismans, and rare materials. Even the multi-headed fish demon harvested on Qingyou Lake is completely preserved in it, every bit is missing. The only thing missing is the black stone that Lu Yu picked up at the last moment. bead.

"Could it be that Yang Chudie opened your Universe Bag while you were unconscious?" Fang Haoran asked with a wink.

"Won't."

Lu Yu shook his head categorically, not to mention his immense trust in Yang Chudie. In fact, he left a mark of the power of the red lotus on the Qiankun bag. If someone opens it violently, the mark of the power of the red lotus cannot be completely preserved. Come down.

"It can't be Uncle Yang, or anyone else! There is no sign that my Qiankun Bag has been tampered with."

"Are you sure?" Fang Haoran asked.

"OK!" Lu Yu nodded vigorously.

"Then why is it like this? How could it suddenly disappear?" Fang Haoran said in confusion.

Lu Yu was also confused.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Fang Haoran suddenly thought of a reasonable explanation.

"This Universe Bag is originally a space treasure. When you escaped from Litian, the secret realm was collapsing. There were fragments of laws and turbulent flow of time and space everywhere. Perhaps this affected the stability of the Universe Bag and caused the thing to accidentally fall out. I can’t say for sure…”

"But why is it that there is no shortage of other things, but this one thing is missing?" Lu Yu asked in confusion.

Fang Haoran's eyes gradually sharpened, and he became more and more sure of his guess.

"This further shows that this thing is the key to the sudden appearance of the monster. Otherwise, no matter how unstable the space of the Qiankun Bag becomes, do you think anything can slip out?"

"Please tell me in detail, what does that thing look like? What's so special about it? How did you discover it?"

Lu Yu then told the whole story about how he killed the supreme monster and how the monster's body suddenly disappeared after it died.

After listening to Lu Yu's description, Fang Haoran's face became solemn and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Yu couldn't help but asked curiously: "What? Do you know what this is?"

Fang Haoran didn't answer, but asked: "Are you sure there is cloud and mist surging inside the beads?"

Lu Yu nodded and said: "Although the scene was very chaotic at the time, I did take a careful look before putting it into the Qiankun bag. I am sure that I saw it correctly. What is this thing, and does it have a big background?"

Fang Haoran said: "I don't know exactly what this is. I just heard of a legend. The scene you just described has some similarities with that long-standing legend..."

"If what you are talking about is what I guessed, then it does have a great background! I must inform the head brother immediately about this matter!"

After saying that, Fang Haoran was about to leave in a hurry.

But after taking two steps, he turned around again and told Lu Yu: "You must keep this matter secret. You cannot tell anyone, including Yang Chudie!"

After seeing Lu Yu gently nodding, he finally left with peace of mind. His figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared in the sky above Jade Butterfly Peak.

In the entire empty back mountain, only Lu Yu was left standing alone.

He couldn't help but become curious in his heart. What was the origin of that black bead that made Fang Haoran leave in such a hurry?

Also, where did it go? Is it really lost in the secret realm?
