Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Actually, you are Mushroom Master?
Outside the country, Huo Xuexiang came over with his sword raised.
Naturally, he also discovered that Bai Lu's realm seemed strange, and the word "deception" that Bai Lu said flashed through his mind for a moment. But compared to these meaningless things, Huo Xuexiang was more shocked by the magic weapon that Bai Lu was controlling.
It's... a broom.
It turned out to be a broom.
Huo Xuexiang was distracted for a moment.
No wonder Bai Lu was in a strange mood when he mentioned the broom that day, but Huo Xuexiang was also a little confused at that time and didn't pay much attention to it. Also, when Bai Lu was in Xuanshan, Huo Xuexiang asked him if he would take the small broom he brought back to the mountain as a spiritual pet, and Bai Lu denied it...
Now it seems a little funny, because Bai Lu already had a broom.
After going around in a circle and taking several twists and turns, I ended up back there.
Back to that ridiculous prophecy...
But how am I feeling now?
All the emotions came at once, surging in his heart like a turbulent current; he could almost feel his heart pounding. All these emotions weighed heavily on his heart, making him completely confused.
But when he tried to grasp them, they trapped him like clouds and mist.
Huo Xuexiang saw Bai Lu looking at him with some worry in her green eyes, as if she had a lot to say. Was it because of this strange magic weapon and power?
Thousands of miles away, Huo Xuexiang's real body, who was sitting cross-legged, frowned.
Thousands of distracting thoughts seemed to flash by in his mind. Huo Xuexiang looked at Bai Lu from afar and raised his sword again - the most urgent task was to break through this state.
The Lord of Yujing Palace nearby was leading a group of disciples to force a breakthrough, but they discovered that not only were they unable to control this secret realm that they had clearly created, it was even more difficult to break through the formation in an instant. What was going on?
What exactly is the place that swallowed up this secret realm?
The scene was in complete chaos. The dozen or so people inside were all the proud disciples of the major sects, and one of them was even the son of the Demon Lord. This was no joke. The Jade Palace Master was sweating on his forehead and said anxiously, "Not good, could it be that the ground network is moving? Gather your strength and try again!"
It must be done as soon as possible, otherwise -
Everything in that secret realm is gradually fading.
Bai Lu felt the changes in space. This secret realm was being completely replaced by another space. They were about to fall into another place!
Compared to other people, Bai Lu was more unfamiliar with this world and had explored it less. When strange changes came, Bai Lu, who had just arrived in the world of immortal cultivation, had no one to call. At this moment, he looked outside and subconsciously shouted:
“Master!”
In an instant, the original secret realm was broken, leaving only the new, disappearing secret realm!
The cultivators outside were all hesitant to move forward, and the Lord of Yujing Palace was still watching. This strange and mysterious space, a secret realm within a secret realm, was so strange that others naturally did not dare to enter.
There was only a shadow of a person, who threw himself into it without hesitation before it completely disappeared!
The sixteen contestants, including Xuanshan's wooden puppet, were swallowed up by the mysterious secret realm.
.
There was a momentary dizziness in the brain, the space suddenly changed, and the body kept falling. Fortunately, the feeling of weightlessness did not scare Bai Lu, who had rich flying experience.
His hands subconsciously tightened their grip on the broom, and he turned over to steady himself, but at this point his body had already fallen into the layers of objects... the treetops.
With a few rustling sounds, the dew rolled in the dense branches and leaves, and hung on the branches together with the broom. After calming down, I looked up and saw a sky that seemed no different. Looking down, it was so high -
Bai Lu was shocked to find that she was standing on a giant tree that was hundreds of meters high. The surrounding dense forest was also around this height. Below was a dense green carpet, with mosses climbing on the tree trunks and vines winding upwards, making the entire space even deeper.
Bai Lu even thought that her skill of shrinking objects into inches had not been lifted, otherwise why would everything seem so huge!
It was as if... as if I had entered a primeval forest.
The others didn't know where they landed. Bai Lu looked around carefully, feeling the flow of energy in the air, and there seemed to be no one around.
Moreover, the dense forest was extremely quiet, and even the sound of the flower bells when Bai Lu made the slightest movement was particularly harsh.
Although there is a lot of life here, generally speaking, nature is not so quiet. There is not even the sound of insects. This made Bai Lu not dare to call out loudly. She decisively and quietly picked the flower bells, and her breathing became involuntarily light.
Bai Lu felt a completely different feeling from the thousands of mountains and valleys of Xuanshan. Although the natural atmosphere was strong, it was strangely strong. Bai Lu often went to the forest and had a good understanding of this.
And... Bai Lu recalled that at the last moment, he seemed to see his master flying over...
Did Master come in as well? Or was he locked outside?
Bai Lu thought of something, untied the kite tied around his waist, restored its size, and then pulled the string to control the kite to bypass the tree canopy and float into the air. He used this primitive method to transmit the signal to see if anyone would find him.
A thin string connected the kite and Bai Lu's hand. He could only vaguely see the kite flying in the sky through the tree branches. The string in his hand suddenly tightened, perhaps because the kite string caught on something and then broke.
Bai Lu was hesitating whether to ride on his broom to catch his kite when a figure flashed, flew through the treetops on a sword, and floated in front of him, still holding the kite in his hand.
Although it is a wooden puppet, its expression is clear at first glance:
It’s Huo Xuexiang.
With joy filling her heart, Bai Lu turned over without a second thought and stood up from the huge branch, saying in a joyful tone, "Master, you came in?"
Huo Xuexiang shrunk the kite and returned it to Bai Lu. He looked at Bai Lu's body and confirmed again, "Are you okay?"
"No!" Bai Lu shook his head. The tree trunk was very wide. He let Huo Xuexiang climb onto the trunk. "Master, where exactly is this place?"
“I’m afraid it’s a hidden secret realm, or a part of it was accidentally opened due to the fight between Pei Zhaoting and Yan Changming, and swallowed you in.” As Huo Xuexiang said this, his eyes naturally fell on Bai Lu’s broom.
He suddenly remembered that one night, he saw Bai Lu holding the broom stick... He didn't pay attention to it that night, but now he suddenly realized what it was.
The prophecy is nothing but a silhouette of some possibility. What Immortal Lord Boluan said is just his guess. Besides, the Sect Master always deviates from the truth.
Huo Xuexiang's heart was churning, and he felt a very strange feeling, which made his expression a little dazed.
Bai Lu saw Huo Xuexiang staring at his broom, and knew that he was probably wondering what his disciple was doing, so he said a little aggrievedly: "Master, I want to get a good ranking and tell you. No, I wanted to say it a long time ago, but you seem to have a prejudice against brooms... Well, I am the cultivator riding a broom, so you go first, what do you think?"
It was clearly the time for Bai Lu to take off her vest, but he was interrogating Huo Xuexiang instead...
Huo Xuexiang could actually roughly know Bai Lu's thoughts. Does that mean it was his fault that Bai Lu didn't confess earlier?
Thinking about the situation at that time, it was really a big misunderstanding, but if it wasn't that misunderstanding, Huo Xuexiang didn't know that he had a completely different attitude towards the same prophecy. His heart trembled again, as if it was being squeezed.
"It's just a misunderstanding." Huo Xuexiang said briefly, trying to hide his inexplicable panic and embarrassment. "I didn't know it was you. I have no opinion."
Misunderstand?
Bai Lu asked tentatively, "What about the others? Actually... I have practiced in another form a long time ago, so I made such rapid progress in alchemy and talismans, so my actual strength is more than just the foundation-building stage."
In fact, Bai Lu had prepared these words in her mind a long time ago, but she went through them over and over again. She even imagined whether Huo Xuexiang would be furious and say that he would not give her a diploma... When the time came, she couldn't help but stare at Huo Xuexiang carefully.
Just like he had tested Huo Xuexiang's interest in alchemy and talismans before, but this time he was more nervous.
Until he saw Huo Xuexiang smiled faintly and said, "Dian Meifeng, I was also teaching you grammar."
Bai Lu: “…”
At this point, even Bai Lu herself was a little speechless and amused, and she blurted out, "Ahhh, I said I'm not illiterate. I came from another world, but it's not the Netherworld. It's a normal world like this one, but not normal either... You can tell by looking at my way of cultivation. I came here by accident, and that's why I wanted to settle down in Xuanshan."
Huo Xuexiang nodded. As expected of a man who learned pinyin in an instant, he quickly understood and said, "Just like what Randengzhou said, you practiced in another place in the Ten Directions World. But the sun and moon are both shining, so you can practice here too, but the language is a little different."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Bai Lu thought to herself that Master is worthy of you. Although you don’t understand physics, you have your own way of abstract understanding as a practitioner.
"Then why did you take me as your master at that time?" Huo Xuexiang suddenly remembered and asked a question that Bai Lu had never thought of answering.
Bai Lu: “Admiration…”
Huo Xuexiang exposed him: "You don't know me at all."
Given Bai Lu's condition at the time, he had basically just arrived in this world, but everyone thought he came from a remote place in the human world and ignored the loophole.
No wonder Huo Xuexiang had been wondering where in the Twelve Continents there was a place that spoke such a completely different language, and even the rules seemed to be completely new.
Huo Xuexiang hesitated for a moment, looked at Bai Lu and said, "You can just say it directly."
He could sense that Bai Lu might not have said everything and seemed to be still a little hesitant.
Huo Xuexiang touched Bai Lu's head, his eyes calm and tolerant, and sighed softly: "No matter what, I am your master."
Bai Lu felt as if her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her heart became soft. This feeling spread throughout her body, and without any hesitation, she revealed the last bit of the secret: "Before I came here, I received a silk book."
Huo Xuexiang immediately understood that it was the silk book that recorded the ancient astrology. So that's it. He thought that it was related to his coming here, so he followed this clue and became his disciple.
"So you are gritting your teeth and insisting on learning?" There was a smile in Huo Xuexiang's eyes, but there was a hint of hesitation under the smile. It seemed that it was closely related to Bai Lu's arrival.
Bailu, looking for a way to go home?
Everyone was surprised that Bai Lu became Huo Xuexiang's apprentice. Could it be that he had no intention of ascending to heaven? However, they did not know that Bai Lu's intention was indeed not to ascend to heaven...
"It's enough to praise me for my hard work now!" Bai Lu looked down, "Also, Master, should we first consider how to get back?"
Go back, Huo Xuexiang was in a daze, his heart tightened when he heard the words, looking at Bai Lu's natural expression, he suddenly realized that he was talking about going back to Xuanshan, and calmed down for a moment.
"Let's go to the ground and take a look. I just flew my sword and looked up. This secret realm is huge." Huo Xuexiang and Bai Lu got down from the giant tree and landed on the ground. It was full of various ferns and mosses, but there was no sign of other living things.
The good news is that there is no Jingtian Sidi Teng, so it is much safer.
Huo Xuexiang looked around and asked, "Do you remember anything when you see these?"
Bai Lu also looked at it, sniffed it, and said confidently: "It's edible, but it's not good to eat it now? Should I eat it cold?"
Huo Xuexiang laughed: "I mean the appearance."
Speaking of which…
Bai Lu did think of something when she saw it for the first time.
"Po Su'er, his ancient demon skeleton." Bai Lu said thoughtfully, "It's also this huge..."
"Yes, in ancient times, the human world had abundant spiritual energy, but it was mostly in a state of ignorance, and there were many conflicts among the various races, so there were more huge bodies. What we have arrived at may be a relic of ancient times." Huo Xuexiang said, and then felt it carefully, "There is no Jingtiansi Di Teng, but we still need to be cautious."
There are countless relics and secret realms in the world of immortal cultivation. After all, for immortal cultivators, it is more convenient to open up a space of their own when they reach a certain level of cultivation, whether it is for cultivation, entertaining guests, storage, or trials, etc. Some cultivators even leave secret realms for inheritance, only for those who are destined to inherit them in the future.
Therefore, the way to exit the secret realm depends on the nature of the secret realm and the rules set by the owner.
Huo Xuexiang had come across various secret realms since he started practicing. This place originated from ancient times and should not be underestimated. He squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and tried to sense the earth's network.
As soon as he squatted down, a strong vibration came from one side, and there was even a faint glow of magic weapon, the movement was quite familiar.
The two looked at each other, one flying a sword, the other riding a broom, and headed towards the place where the noise came from. It didn't take long before they saw other contestants. There were a total of sixteen contestants in the third round, plus Huo Xuexiang, there were seventeen people coming in, so there were about eleven or twelve people gathered here, and Ning Yanhu and Pei Zhaoting from Xuanshan were also there.
Looking around, it was You Yue who was fighting with Yan Changming. I don't know if the mask had fallen off during the fight, but it was no longer on You Yue's face.
You Yue was as happy as if he had been unsealed. He cursed as he beat him: "Fuck you, if you hadn't messed around, would we have been able to get in? It's all your fault. The demon cultivators are really not good people!"
Yan Changming just thought it was ridiculous, and pointed at Pei Zhaoting beside him and said, "If you must say it, it was his formation that triggered the changes in the secret realm, which made this place appear. Why do you blame me alone? You righteous cultivators are really hypocritical!"
"If you were not a demon cultivator lurking in Huanhua Island, would Pei Zhaoting fight you to the death? Besides, didn't you also sacrifice your life... Bastard, you like to sacrifice your life, right!" You Yue didn't say anything and slashed over with another spiritual power. He didn't use any tricks just to vent his anger.
The other cultivators could not get involved and just stood with their hands on their hips watching the fun.
Pei Zhaoting just stood by with his arms folded, watching with an expressionless face, feeling that it had nothing to do with him.
Ning Yanhu watched and laughed. If it was in Xuanshan, she would definitely come out to stop the fight. But these were outer sect disciples, one of whom was a demon cultivator, so she was lucky that she didn't join in the fight. She just kept shouting, "Forget it, forget it, You Yue, you can't beat him again—"
You Yue's veins popped up when he heard this...
The two fought even harder.
"Big Sister!" Bai Lu shouted on the broom.
Ning Yanhu turned around, her eyes lit up. She was still thinking about going to find Bai Lu after watching the fun, but when she saw the wooden puppet next to her, she felt much more relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then became impatient.
Bailu, Bailu, you really made us suffer by hiding it! Ning Yanhu wanted to grab Bailu and ask wildly: What kind of adventure did you have after you entered the sect, such as being infused with spiritual power by your uncle, or did you come to the sect with your skills? Or, is it really some fallen monk who took over the body and reincarnated!
Not only Ning Yanhu, but also the other cultivators watching from the side and even You Yue and Yan Changming who were fighting, stopped their fights unconsciously and watched Bai Lu, who was riding the strange magic weapon, stop in front of them and turn over.
The shock left by Bai Lu earlier did not disappear so quickly.
Unlike Xuanshan's disciples, other contestants only knew that Bai Lu, as Xuanshan's disciple and the first disciple of Jian Zun, suddenly used some strange skills. If the sword talismans before were still reasonable, the previous ones were not very like Xuanshan's way.
Could it be that Bai Lu actually has a hidden identity like Yan Changming?
Pei Zhaoting changed his calm attitude just now and couldn't help but take two steps forward, unable to hide his excitement.
Yan Changming glanced at them. Pei Zhaoting had always looked at people in the eye and was very rude before. He was indifferent when he saw them fighting, but now he showed a complicated expression to his junior brother.
And their performance before coming in, even their fellow disciples didn't know Bai Lu's strength, what a weird group of Xuanshan people...
What made Yan Changming even more depressed was that he had a big fight with his father and ran away from home in order to become famous, but now it seemed to have the opposite effect. He was so sad, would he become a laughing stock?
Pei Zhaoting stared at Bai Lu, "Front..."
He wanted to call her "senior", but then realized that it was not appropriate, as Bai Lu had joined later than him. But Pei Zhaoting did respect Bai Lu, so he paused for a moment and decided to take things slow. He lowered his head and asked, "So, you are actually Mushroom Master?"
Others: “?”
Everyone except Ning Yanhu was stunned.
Then they looked at Yan Changming, especially You Yue, who showed an undisguised look: This is your father? ?
Yan Changming: “???!”
