Ask the Mirror Chapter 83: On the road
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
The Wraith Cemetery is the largest underground forest in the Northern Wilderness. It contains ghosts, raptors and ferocious beasts, as well as many unique underground creatures. It has its own ecological circle that can continuously circulate and even balance. After years of self-adjustment, the circle itself has become very stable, and because of this, the circle itself is quite powerful in countering "outsiders".
The deeper you go into it, the stronger your feelings become.
In the shadow of the forest, wandering ghosts will merge into the rich Yin environment, looking for targets and devouring people's Yang energy; groups of ground wolves will hide in the soil, and when the target passes by, they will explode and hurt people. ; There are also higher-level demons who, after thousands of years of practice, have become spiritual and can divide areas into areas to control one area.
It is no exaggeration to say that such an environment is in crisis every step of the way.
In addition, when people set foot in an area with a depth of about ten thousand miles, lighting a fire is already a big trouble. Ordinary fire cannot be lit at all. Even if it is lit, it will be instantly suppressed by the strong Yin Qi, and it may also cause other things. misfortune. Under such circumstances, eating a cooked meal is indeed quite a luxury.
However, there are always exceptions to everything.
In a corner of the forest, behind the shadows of the trees, there is a swaying fire, and the rich fragrance lingers here. If someone passes by, their eyes will probably bulge out: there is a bonfire burning here, and it seems that it is not affected by the strong Yin Qi at all!
As for those people around the campfire, are they having a barbecue?
The ghost cultivator obviously does not need to eat, but Kou Chu is doing the work of a chef. He is turning the half-cooked ghost wolf on the shelf and adjusting the intensity of the flame. He is very busy, and the grease gradually seeps out, and the Entering the flame below, the flame is silver-white, which is the talisman fire gathered by the Taiyi Yandu Star Fire Talisman.
Kou Chu was a little scared at first. It was a kind of blasphemy to use the magic power given to it by the Immortal to roast meat. But the Immortal didn't care and even asked for it personally. It had no choice but to go there in person. Hunted, put up a show, and performed hard.
However, seeing that the barbecue was about to begin, the Immortal had gone out but had not returned yet. In desperation, it could only shrink its firepower. It must be said that after half a month of experience, it could use the talisman fire given by the Immortal. It is becoming more and more easy to control. A ball of fire comes and goes naturally, disperses and gathers according to the heart. It has almost become its instinct. Even the immortals were amazed when they saw it.
Frankly, this gives it an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.
It looked away. Beside the bonfire, Miss Qing did not follow the Immortal. Instead, she used the firelight to look at the stone tablet that she had acquired not long ago and could disintegrate at any time. It seemed that it contained some great secret. Farther away, the "Living Bodhisattva" who had given him the "Explanation of the Dharma of Impermanence" crossed his legs and lowered his eyes, seeming to be in concentration or in a daze.
Perhaps sensing its gaze, You Rui raised his head, glanced at it coldly, said nothing, and lowered his face.
Kou Chu didn’t take it seriously either. The female cultivator had been like this for the past two days, and now she was pretty good.
Of course You Rui was very angry, she felt like she was being fooled.
In her hands, she had the best route to Black Moon Lake. If she followed her plan, half a month would be more than enough time to get there. But now half a month has passed, and when calculating the distance, she has only walked one-fifth of the distance, and the progress is disastrous.
In fact, the speed of the group is not slow. In the dangerous forest, they can advance more than three thousand miles in one day. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rushing forward. But the problem is that these days, they are just going in circles in the underground forest. ah!
Lu Dun did not follow her wishes at all. She protested twice, but the other party ignored them. This made her understand that the other party's next entrustment to her was actually... a way to go!
You Rui was really annoyed, but it was absolutely impossible to fall out with Lu Dun. To this day, she still remembers Lu Dun's arrangements for her to leave the city.
The group of people seemed to be wandering around, walking through the streets and alleys a few times, and then swaggering out of the city. Sanjiafang's huge network of tentacles could only be mobilized in vain behind his buttocks. It felt like there was a Eyes that see through everything, criticize the weak, take the overall situation, always avoid danger before touching it, and have a posture of foresight.
This alone is enough for You Rui to have a new assessment of his strength.
To be honest, she was very stressed when traveling with such a person. But at this stage, she still had to be with Lu Dun - the situation forced her to do it.
No one knows the situation better than her.
No matter what she does, Wang An or Zuo Gui's actions, they all involve an issue that is a hundred times more important than the conflict, that is: Has the attitude of Sanjiafang's senior management towards her changed?
In Sanjiafang, You Rui is a typical example of a wife who is valued by her husband, at least in the eyes of Wang An, Zuo Gui and others, so they immediately changed their faces after the news of Xia Shuanghe's death came. But You Rui himself still has a certain degree of confidence that he can maintain his original status, although this confidence is relatively limited.
Beihuang is a very realistic place, where strength dominates everything.
Those with Bu Xu cultivation level and above must be the leaders, and those below the Huandan realm are the minions. As for those in the Huandan realm, a considerable number of people are stuck below the line of the middle level of Huandan. It is due to the overall lack of suitable elixir techniques and the inability to go further on the basis of Cardinal Dingding. Of course, such a person can earn a certain status, but he cannot be looked upon in a different light, but once he breaks through this line, his status will immediately skyrocket, especially if he reaches the higher level of Huandan, in a sense, he is already the backbone of the Northern Wilderness.
For example, Xia Shuanghe, who has an advanced Huandan cultivation level and a special skill, can be said to be the confidant of He Sanye, but he is more aloof. Many times, he can even discuss and argue with He Sanye. I can also accept it. This is already among the upper class and can be on an equal footing with the big guys in the hall.
In terms of cultivation, You Rui is incomparable to Xia Shuanghe. This is the most intuitive impression she gives people, and it is also her biggest weakness. What she worries about is that she will be abandoned before she can prove her worth. In the past few days, she had regretted more than once. For the sake of safety and dignity, she took advantage of Xia Shuanghe's influence too often, which greatly lowered others' evaluation of her. Therefore, she must show her own value as soon as possible.
At this point, Lu Dun is actually a good bargaining chip... But she seems to be unable to control this "chip."
Yu Ci didn't know how troubled his temporary "customer" was. He was busy now.
"Found it."
Kneeling half on the ground and peeling away the moist soil, Yu Ci found the target from among the countless tiny particles of soil. They were tiny particles no bigger than dust, the kind that could fly to the horizon when you sneeze. If you put them in the palm of your hand, if Yu Ci hadn't locked them with his spiritual consciousness, he might have confused them in the blink of an eye. In the dirt, no longer discernible.
"Why is it like this again?" Yu Ci was a little dissatisfied. The small particles were actually fragments of the magic weapon that had the same origin as the metal moth in his hand, but they were too small. Such a volume has almost no research value and can only be temporarily preserved.
He sighed, took out a sealed metal box from the Yunlou Tree space, and put the particles in. There were already seventeen or eighteen particles in the box, of different sizes, but the largest one was fine sand. . This is what he achieved in half a month.
In fact, there is still a small part that seems to be structurally consistent with the metal moth. As soon as it was discovered, it melted into it and became integrated. So after placing it, Yu Ci took out the metal moth and circled it around the bottom of the box. The fine particles were trembling slightly, echoing the metal moth, but in the end they were not attached.
To this day, a flaw the size of a grain of rice has been repaired on the left "wing" of the metal moth. This is the biggest change in half a month.
Yu Ci is like playing a treasure hunt and jigsaw puzzle. He relies on the light spots left in the void in his heart to confirm the location of the magic weapon fragments. He finds them and sees if they fit with the metal moths. Depending on the position, As the depth goes deeper, more image points enter the sensing range and appear one by one.
During this period, Yu Ci found more than twenty fragments, but in the void in his heart, the number of picture points increased instead of decreasing. It had exceeded two hundred and was spread over thousands of miles. There is also a gradual increasing trend.
"It would be great if everything could fly here automatically..."
"Don't be greedy!" Shadow Ghost revealed the essence of his idea. "In this period of time, your progress in pursuing the Soul-fixing Star Curse has been more than three times that of the previous two years. If this continues, the result will be If it turns into a true talisman, find... two thousand more seeds?"
This number is a bit conservative, but since it is relying on external forces, there is nothing to say. The effect will decrease if you take too much medicine. Who knows what will happen to this thing?
"What exactly are in these fragments?"
Yu Ci has been practicing **** his own in this life, and rarely takes pills or other external substances. The only exception is the Xuanzhen Condensation Pill secretly given to him by Yu Zhou Lao Dao, so he is still not used to it. You have to get to the bottom of it to feel comfortable.
Shadow Ghost had already said that he didn't know, so he naturally ignored him, but soon, the guy laughed again: "That believer of yours is begging you to go back and eat barbecue."
Yu Ci had already sensed it, but of course he was not as boring as Shadow Ghost. He was still more interested in Kou Chu's ability to control the Taiyi Yandu Spark Talisman.
"It has made rapid progress during this period." Yu Ci even felt that his ability to control the talisman fire had fallen behind the ghost cultivator. At least, he would never be able to control the talisman fire barbecue and the like. of.
"It is difficult to make one skill with ten strength, and ten tricks are no match for one faith."
I don’t know how many times Ying Gui has said this, but Yu Ci deeply agrees. Therefore, he deliberately took back all the other "gifted" talismans, leaving only the Taiyi Yandu Spark Talisman, and gave Shadow Ghost more opportunities to practice almost all the time. In this way, Shadow Ghost Although the ghost is getting deeper and deeper, Yu Ci also has a deeper understanding of its operating mechanism.
In the void in the heart, Kou Chu's projection occupies a small space alone. In the palace of his mind, the star of divine will shines brightly.
