Chapter 45 Chapter 45 I didn’t tell you the 5 o’clock direction, okay…
Although the witch blade has not been sharpened, no one will doubt its power.
Seeing this, the others also surrounded "Huo Xuexiang" vigilantly. Since they came into this secret realm, there was no one else, not even a living thing, only plants and trees.
But the other party admitted that he was not the Sword Master. What could he be? Could he be a plant?
When he thought of this, Yan Changming couldn't help but look at the man. He couldn't be a "native" here. This place was full of vitality, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were one or two wood creatures.
Surrounded by such a group, "Prime Minister Huo Xue" actually seemed quite calm. He looked at Bai Lu and even followed his strange words, saying, "This was not my intention. It's just that as soon as I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but push Sword Master off the line."
When Bai Lu heard his name, her pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock appeared on her face. She said in a lost voice: "You...you...?"
Others didn't understand, but Xuanshan and the others all changed their expressions and exclaimed, "How is this possible!"
"How is this possible? What on earth is this?" Yan Changming was convinced. These righteous people were really trying to make him die of anxiety.
"You are Qiusuo?!" Bai Lu said in shock, "That can't be true! AI can become a spirit!"
If this is Qiusuo, then he really didn't pretend to be the Sword Master, because this is originally his body!
Ning Yanhu also said solemnly: "You mean, you are my Xuanshan wooden puppet that has become a spirit? But wooden puppets are made by humans, and the most sophisticated wooden puppets can only imitate people's words and deeds. You were ignorant before entering the secret realm, and even if you want to become a spirit or a monster, it will take years. What is your origin, tell me the truth quickly."
It's so weird that it can even squeeze the Sword Master off the line. It really makes people feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.
Other cultivators had never heard of a puppet being able to develop spiritual consciousness.
"It is the pinnacle of creation that puppets are like humans, but everything they have must come from humans. If they develop their own consciousness, this..."
"Maybe it's the true spirit of this secret realm! I heard that some secret realms can also give birth to spiritual consciousness." The spirit of the weapon shouted, and also tried to squeeze into the wooden puppet, but unlike before when it was empty, the wooden puppet was now a whole and it couldn't get up at all.
I just don't know how this guy knew about Huo Xuexiang and Bai Lu's relationship. Even Bai Lu judged that he was not Huo Xuexiang based on his attitude.
The wooden puppet who called himself Qiusou did not react much to the crowd's power accumulation. He just said woodenly: "I am who I am."
"According to what you said, if this wooden puppet really suddenly awakened its spiritual wisdom, it must have been enlightened by some great being who had realized the way of creation." You Yue looked at Qiusuo and found that he was really not panicked at all. He asked curiously, "Don't you really have any way to prove it yourself?"
The wooden puppet's gaze fell on Bai Lu, and he said slowly: "Before leaving Xuanshan, Sword Master made you the puppet master. From now on, you will be the priority in everything. Although you have gained intelligence, this body is still a puppet. You can control this body at any time."
"...So you're going to save me from the sea of suffering?" This was like another thunderclap, which stunned Bai Lu. After a long while, she said, "Master, Master didn't tell me."
The highest authority is already in his hands?
Ning Yanhu's expression twisted for a moment, and he said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my uncle is concerned about your situation outside."
This puppet, who has reached the minor perfection of the foundation building stage, may not be very powerful, but he can protect you with all his might.
The weapon spirit tugged at the wooden puppet twice, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or not. "Hey, don't you guys check it out again? There are so many strange things in here. What if it's some ancient bloodthirsty wood spirit that can search souls and lurks among us..."
Qiusuo looked at the weapon spirit quietly and avoided his grabbing.
As a wooden puppet, he was both seeking and not seeking, retaining the memory and behavior patterns of being a puppet. But at the same time, he also developed his own consciousness - if it were before, he would not have thought of avoiding Ba La.
And, even he himself might not have realized in his ignorance that he had never called "Young Master Bai Lu" again.
"That's right..." Bai Lu suddenly looked up and ordered, "Sit down!"
The wooden puppet was caught off guard, and his body sat down before his consciousness. "?"
He is still a puppet now, with his own consciousness, but he is still unable to unlock the shackles on his body.
"It should be true." Bai Lu thought for a moment. This reaction couldn't be fake. "That makes sense. If it's some villain that wants to lurk around, then it doesn't matter if it doesn't save me in the sea of suffering."
"But how did he develop intelligence?" Ning Yanhu asked. She still couldn't figure out this key question.
Look at Qiusuo, but Qiusuo doesn't know. He has the knowledge that Xuanshan has instilled in his mind, but his independent consciousness has just emerged. He doesn't even know how to say "Hello, I was born". He was almost mistaken for an undercover agent impersonating Huo Xuexiang.
No one could figure this out. After thinking about it, they thought it must be related to this mysterious secret place.
"Wait, you said before that it would take such a short time, unless it was enlightened by an ancient great master who had realized the way of creation." Yan Changming suddenly thought of something, "Then the secret realm we are in must really be left by an ancient cultivator. What if this person really realized the way of creation? You should know better than me that Huanhuazhou is where the Green Emperor realized the way."
Sensing the implicit message in his words, everyone except Bai Lu had shock and even disbelief in their eyes.
"You don't mean to say that this is the secret place left by the Green Emperor?!"
"Yes, ordinary cultivators can't do it, but Qingdi can do it." Yan Changming glanced at the wooden puppet, "Bitter Sea, Golden Lotus, Thunder Cloud, these are not ordinary even in ancient times, right?
"Also, have you heard a rumor that the Green Emperor is kind and benevolent, and when he ascended to heaven thousands of years ago, he threw a jade pendant into the ancient land. If the younger generation passes the test after entering the land, they can receive gifts from the Green Emperor.
"The Green Emperor attained the Tao in Huanhua Island, which allowed all things to flourish and the laws of nature to be fully under his control. This puppet was born in human form, and there are also skills stored in his brain, which has saved him a lot of effort in changing his form. It is also of the wood element. The places we just passed by were full of vitality, and the wooden puppet also passed through them, including the thunderclouds. The sea of suffering can also give rise to distracting thoughts in people. All these factors have made him intelligent and become a wood-element spirit. Doesn't it make sense?"
In other words, Yan Changming believed that the awakening process had already begun in the dense forest, but it happened naturally and silently, just like the roots piercing people. Finally, it was fully formed and directly squeezed Huo Xuexiang out of the line.
"Those are legends from many years ago. We haven't heard any news about the Green Emperor's ruins for tens of thousands of years. This has almost become a bedtime story. How can you take it seriously?" You Yue said in disbelief.
But he also knew that even though he had doubts, the fact that he was able to move a natural spiritual creature like the Golden Lotus of the Bitter Sea into his own secret realm meant that the owner of the secret realm, even if he was not the Green Emperor, must be one of the most powerful people in the Wood Clan!
"Then how do you explain that this wooden puppet can develop intelligence?" Yan Changming raised his eyebrows and said, "This place is so full of vitality that even ordinary plants can pierce our flesh and blood. After a few years, these plants may also develop intelligence and become Wood Clan cultivators. I even suspect that some Wood Clan cultivators in the past came from here."
Everyone was silent.
Once this point is made clear, everyone will think back and suddenly everything will become clear. The more they think about it, the more they realize this, and gradually they will loosen their siege on the pursuit.
"I can remember it now. I have read the books in Xuanshan." The spirit of the weapon said. He is an old senior who has been hanging around Kaiyang Peak for many years and has indeed read many books.
"The Bitter Sea disappeared over the years after the Green Emperor ascended to heaven, but the Green Emperor had long predicted the changes in the world and the Bitter Sea, and once said it was a pity to waste the Dust-Cleansing Golden Lotus. The Green Emperor was so kind to flowers and trees, so it was very likely that he transplanted some of them into his secret realm in advance and preserved them."
"Whether it is true or not, it is amazing... a life was born just like that, and he even has his own soul." You Yue said softly. This was not even an intentional design by the owner of the secret realm. In ancient times, there were not even wooden puppets.
Just like the owner of the secret realm did not regard the dense forest where they landed as a test, but just caused them trouble unintentionally and also unintentionally created a life.
"We might actually have entered the secret realm of the Green Emperor!" Jin Sunzhi couldn't help but look at everything here with a different perspective again. This is one of the five ancient emperors!
Even though he was not from the Wood Clan, it did not stop him from being excited. He even thought of something and looked at Bai Lu with his eyes wide open.
Then there are You Yue, Ning Yanhu...
Everyone stared at Bai Lu.
At this moment, there is no way to express the excitement in my heart, only...
Bai Lu didn't grow up listening to the stories of the Five Emperors, so she didn't have a sense of immersion. She just felt that we had souls in our quest. When they stared at her, she got scared and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Where's your Five Emperors badge? I want to draw a Green Emperor..."
"Just take it apart and sell it to me."
"That's right. How can we not wear the Green Emperor badge when we arrive at the Green Emperor Secret Realm? How can we show respect to him?"
Regardless of whether it is true or not, they will accept this exciting inference for the time being!
Very good, so we set up a stall again next to the golden lotus soup and started drawing blind boxes, and this time everyone participated.
"You can't tear them apart, you can only draw them." Bai Lu said principledly, "But many of them were drawn by Yan Changming before, I can't guarantee that everyone of you will get one."
Everyone: “…”
Especially You Yue, he has bad luck...
Yan Changming had a bunch of badges and was very proud of them. People who couldn't get one had to come to him and buy second-hand ones, and he would raise the price on the spot.
You Yue almost fainted from anger: "You drew it with 100 spirit stones, and you're selling it for double the price?!"
Yan Changming: "I am a demon cultivator, do you want me to be righteous?"
You Yue: “…………”
Can't refute it.
Qiusuo looked at the chaotic scene. If he was thinking from his own perspective, he didn't know what to do. If he was thinking from the perspective of a wooden puppet, he would slowly walk up and help Bai Lu sort out the goods. These two types of thinking were actually difficult for Qiusuo to distinguish.
Bai Lu took out the cooked pork ribs and lotus root and distributed them to everyone. The lotus root of the Golden Lotus was extraordinary and extremely sweet. A sip of the lotus root soup was so sweet that it made the tongue taste fresh all the way to the forehead. It also gave people a feeling of cleansing their whole body and mind, making people want to meditate on the spot. It must be good for absorbing spiritual energy.
Before Bai Lu traveled through time, I had never eaten lotus root of such high quality. It tastes better than meat!
"Delicious!" Bai Lu held a piece of lotus root in her mouth, ate it with a crunch, and asked Qiusuo, "Qiusuo, can't you let my master go online again?"
Master suddenly went offline, maybe he is very worried now, he should at least report that he is safe.
Qiusuo shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. When I wake up, there's nothing I can do."
He is no longer a wooden puppet, and the highest authority is not in Huo Xuexiang's hands, unless Huo Xuexiang takes over his body or something. But it is unlikely at such a distance.
"Oh... okay." Bai Lu remembered something and comforted Qiusuo, "It's not that I don't welcome you, I'm just afraid that Master will worry. After all, the people outside can't find us."
Qiusuo looked at Bai Lu blankly, but actually didn't quite understand his comfort.
Yan Changming was reselling badges and glanced over here. A puppet with self-awareness was unprecedented. If it were in his hands, he would definitely study it carefully. It could even be said that it contained the way of the Green Emperor.
Bailu is also studied.
He immediately filled a bowl of lotus root soup for Qiusuo to drink. In the past, Qiusuo didn't need to eat and didn't feel any pain. When he carried him on his back, he consumed one bowl of spiritual energy for every 100 kilometers.
Now, after drinking the lotus root soup, Qiusuo was able to match it with the knowledge in his mind and said hesitantly, "Is this called... sweet?"
"That's right!" Bai Lu smiled and pinned a Green Emperor badge on him, "accidentally" pricking him.
"...Pain?" Qiusuo asked hesitantly.
"It's not 'pain?' It's 'pain!'" Bai Lu's eyes lit up, "The Green Emperor is so powerful that he 'woke you up' just like that."
Qiusuo still remembered Bai Lu's words about praising him in time. At this moment, it came to his mind and he said, "I also want to thank you for asking me many questions that are worth exploring in depth. That's why I gained spiritual wisdom so quickly."
Bai Lu: “…”
Ning Yanhu: "..."
A deep search? Everyone else looked at Bai Lu curiously, wondering what kind of deep question he asked the wooden puppet that could actually help fate!
Bai Lu didn't even blush, and said confidently: "Don't look at me, this is a sect secret, I can't tell you."
It was quite intimidating. Everyone thought that Xuanshan really had some special method to enlighten the wooden puppet.
"Qiusuo, do you think you like this name?" Bai Lu looked at Qiusuo who was still tasting the bowl of lotus root soup. This was the first time he had eaten, both as a puppet and as a new life.
Bai Lu's question made Qiusuo fall into deep thought again, "...Please allow me to think about it again."
"It still has a bit of a human-machine feel to it." Bai Lu whispered, "Then you really need to think. You can't just search your knowledge base in your mind like before."
Qiusuo was stunned. He was indeed still used to the old way of "thinking", looking for a preset answer. Unfortunately, the database that Xuanshan entered did not seem to teach him how to answer such a question: Do you like the name Qiusuo?
Do I like this name?
While Qiusuo was still in a daze, Bai Lu had already said, "Do you want a surname? Everyone has a surname. You can be called Huo Qiusuo... No, Master has already adopted you to me. You should be called Bai Qiusuo."
"Poof!" Pei Zhaoting almost spurted out the lotus root soup and said hesitantly, "Brother Bai, this isn't what you mean by adoption, right?"
"That's quite humorous." Jin Sunzhi even thought Bai Lu was joking, "But isn't it a bit unlucky to ask for it in vain? It's a waste of time."
Everyone: “…”
"It's okay, Qiusuo, you can take your time to think about it. If you go out to explore the world in the future, you can introduce your name, Xuanshan Bai Qiusuo! Hahahaha!" Bai Lu imagined Qiusuo's confused look.
"Go out and explore the world?" Qiusuo didn't understand even more.
"Yes." Bai Lu put her elbow on his shoulder, "Or do you want to join another peak? Or do you want to ask us to choose Mei Peak? I think you are more suitable for practicing magic."
Qiusuo didn't understand and said, "Don't you want me to be your puppet?"
Others: “?”
What did we hear?
Yan Changming: Avoiding lightning disasters and raising ghosts, are you really a demon cultivator?
Ning Yanhu waved his hands and said hurriedly: "I was just kidding, I was just kidding."
“What a joke! You already have intelligence, I can’t still be a slave owner.” Bai Lu also looked at Qiusuo in surprise. He clearly felt that Qiusuo was a little different from before. It seemed that he was still confused. “I don’t know how to cast a spell to release you now. You may still not understand many things for the time being, but I know that in the future you will clearly know that you need freedom.”
Qiusuo blinked slowly, still holding the bowl of lotus root soup in his hand. Freedom?
"It's okay, you can learn slowly." Bai Lu winked at Qiu Suo and smiled, "There's no rush."
"Okay." Qiusuo laughed unconsciously.
Then he touched his face thoughtfully. As a new life, he was also experiencing all kinds of things in the world, and another kind of happiness.
When the other cultivators heard that Bai Lu wanted to get rid of Qiusuo's puppet body, they had different thoughts. It seemed that Yan Changming naturally felt regretful, as he wished that this was his puppet.
The spirit of the weapon was even more disappointed and said, "What do you mean by freedom? You really don't know how to appreciate the blessing you have!"
Still looking for the meaning of freedom, nonsense, he, the Lord Spirit, also wants to find his own master!
…
Everyone sat together and finished the lotus root soup. Because there were so many people, Bai Lu only touched a few lotus roots, and each person ate a bowl. Fortunately, they were all immortal cultivators, so their appetite was not that strong.
After knowing that this place is most likely the remains of the Green Emperor, these people became as enthusiastic as they could be.
After leaving the bitter sea and passing a bush, we suddenly came across a cliff.
There was a cloud of fog below the cliff, and I had no idea where it was. It couldn't be that simple.
Pei Zhaoting picked a leaf and threw it into the air.
I saw the leaves floating left and right in the seemingly peaceful sky, and suddenly they were split into two pieces, one half facing upwards and the other facing downwards. Then the upper piece suddenly disappeared, as if it had been swallowed by something. After a few breaths, the lower half also disappeared abruptly.
"This... looks like our Junior Sister Ding's teleportation array! An upgraded version!" Bai Lu exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it seems that there are many gaps and turbulence in the air, which can hurt people, and I don't know where they will be sent." Pei Zhaoting looked into the distance and couldn't tell how big this area was. Compared with Ding Douhua's teleportation array, this place was obviously more disordered and dangerous.
At this moment, Bai Lu felt like she was hit by a boomerang. Sigh, they always used this trick to trick others in the past...
You Yue sensed it carefully: "These turbulent currents are composed of the five elements of spiritual power. It seems that it will be difficult to get through."
It's troublesome, but not insurmountable.
All those present were the best of the younger generation, except Bai Lu, who had mastered the theoretical knowledge of Qiusuo and Qi Ling. They immediately divided the work on the spot and cooperated to discuss how to get through.
"We may need to split into three groups, and then one group will have deducers and those who can sense the turbulent flow of the five elements and find a way out." Pei Zhaoting rehearsed quickly. He hesitated for a moment. According to the comprehensive strength, Yan Changming should be in the top three, but because he is a demon cultivator, he dare not believe it. "I, Jin Sunzhi, You Yue, each will lead a group. The three groups should not be too far apart and look after each other."
Then comes the arrangement of the five elements. For example, Bailu, of course, is the water element.
"start?"
The arrangement was made quickly. Ning Yanhu took a breath and looked at everyone.
"We don't know what's behind that gap...how far away the sun is? We've been trapped in there for so long." Someone said weakly.
"Okay, don't talk." Ning Yanhu said coldly. The others might not be without worries, but at this time they couldn't say anything to shake the morale of the army. "Of course we can get out!"
Everyone rose into the air, and in small groups they shuttled through the invisible gaps, constantly reporting the situation of the five elements of spiritual energy in the air, and then the team leader calculated the path. Jin Sunzhi's group didn't calculate for long, and his brain power was a little bit exhausted, so Yan Changming took over at the critical moment.
"Leaving the position, the fire is strong."
"In exchange for the throne, wood is born."
"There's a lot of water at the rear right." Bai Lu said.
Yan Changming from the next group took the time to look at Bai Lu questioningly.
Bai Lu: What are you looking at? In such an emergency, who can remember the eight trigrams and directions? I didn’t tell you the five o’clock direction, so just calculate it...!
