Of course, Mu Ranwu's original plan was to obtain the qualification to enter the pool first, and then use the characteristics of Tianmai Mountain that isolates people to plot against Wei Yuan. However, she never expected that Xue Ranran also entered Tianmai Mountain unexpectedly, and in the end, she got the upper hand.
But it's better this way. If Wei Yan and Xue Ranran can die together, then she will have no more troubles!
Does Su Yishui think that he is the only one who knows how to detoxify?
Thinking that she might be able to cure the poison of the resentful water soon, Mu Ranwu showed a slightly happy smile on her face...
Just as Wei Yan called her again, Mu Ranwu snorted coldly, threw the last mysterious mud ball in her arms into a ditch beside her, suddenly closed her eyes, silently chanted a spell to catalyze the mud ball, and then flew down the mountain.
Wei Yan's presence in Tianmai Mountain must not be leaked, otherwise her and Wen Hongshan's conspiracy will inevitably be exposed. So Mu Ranwu wants to intercept Gao Cang and Wei Fang before they leave the mountain.
Thinking of this, Mu Ranwu moved extremely fast, jumped over the wire bridge in a few bounces, and chased after Wei Fang and them.
Xue Ranran glanced at Master Mu throwing the mud balls, and remembered that she had seen Master Mu doing similar things in Yao Laoxian's illusion. She suddenly felt puzzled. Could it be that Master Mu threw so many mud balls just because he thought it was too troublesome to throw away the things he brought with him?
At this moment, she swept to the place where the mud ball fell, and suddenly red mist began to emerge.
The white tiger that was fighting with Wei Yan suddenly roared and pushed Ran Ran with its body, as if signaling her to leave quickly. It would cover her.
Ran Ran felt something was wrong, but it was too late to get down the mountain. The red mist spread quickly, and the mud balls scattered everywhere seemed to burst and gradually spread out.
When Ranran heard the buzzing sound, she realized that the "red mist" was actually densely packed red flying insects.
Wei Yan also jumped back at this time and stopped struggling. He quickly looked around and immediately cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
These insects were as big as sesame seeds at first, but seemed to grow rapidly in the wind, soon becoming the size of soybeans. In the blink of an eye, they were all over the mountains and plains.
Wei Yan seemed to recognize these insects, and his fair face began to turn black with anger: "Immortal-eating insects! Is Mu Qingge fucking crazy? How could he come up with these things!"
These red worms seemed to have the same goal, and they all attacked Wei Yan, Ran Ran, and the White Tiger.
Ran Ran quickly swung the mechanical stick in his hand, forming a vortex airflow grid to block insects.
But one or two still landed on her arms and neck.
The moment he was bitten by those bugs, Ranran only felt his arms and neck going numb. At the same time, his dantian, which had just been filled, suddenly felt as if its spiritual energy was being drained.
At this moment, the white tiger quickly pounced on Ran Ran and surrounded her with its body, blocking the first wave of attacks from the red bugs.
Ran Ran buried her face in the white tiger's soft fur. What she could hear was the white tiger's painful groaning. It was obvious that those red worms were also very powerful when biting the alien beasts.
These immortal insects are not from the human world, and they feed on spiritual energy. Their sharp beaks can pierce into flesh and bones, and once they are stared at, spiritual energy will be continuously absorbed.
At the moment when the white tiger protected Ran Ran, it was immediately bitten by a layer of red worms. Fortunately, it had thick fur, which temporarily blocked it for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Baihu half stood up and suddenly whispered in Ranran's ear: "Hold me, I'm going into the water!"
Ranran was startled by what Baihu said in her ear, because the deep voice... was clearly Master Su Yishui!
Without thinking too much, Ranran quickly grabbed the fur on its belly, and then the white tiger took her and jumped into the deep valley under the snake bridge like flying.
Before jumping down, Ran Ran saw Wei Yan using his true fire to burn the insects. It was quite effective at first, but Wei Yan's true fire was also caused by spiritual power, and it was obviously a temporary solution to these strange insects that had tasted the sweetness of the marrow.
Although many of those insects were burned to death, more insects came one after another and actually suppressed the flame in Wei Yan's palm. Wei Yan's body was soon covered with a layer of red insects, which looked extremely numb!
Ran Ran didn't know what happened next, because she and Bai Hu fell into a deep valley together. The valley was very deep, and she didn't know how long they fell before they fell heavily into the deep water.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan, who was screaming from being bitten, also jumped down. The huge impact of entering the water finally temporarily dispersed the fairy insects all over his body.
Unfortunately, these fairy insects have already tasted the deliciousness of absorbing spiritual energy and actually rushed into the water, seemingly not afraid of water at all.
When Wei Yan entered the water, he found that the white tiger was leading Ran Ran towards a cave under the pool, so he hurried to follow.
It turned out that the cave under the pool was connected to another cave. After passing through a waterway, we crawled into the cave.
Ranran was the only one among the three who was not bitten in any way, so she still had enough strength. She quickly used her spiritual power to move a huge rock and blocked the only entrance.
Ran Ran used all his strength to block the stones tightly, and finally managed to temporarily block the insects from tracking him.
In the pitch darkness, Wei Yan started a fire with his palms to illuminate the surroundings. He was surprised to find that this was actually a bedroom-like house with a bed and bookshelves.
As they walked into the house, there was no need to turn on the lights, as the surroundings became bright. There was even sunlight shining in through the windows. Colorful butterflies were fluttering around the peonies in front of the window, and even the faint sounds of children and their mothers playing could be heard.
Ran Ran's nose was still filled with the damp smell of the water cave, and her body could not feel the warmth of the sun. She blinked and understood: "Is this... all an illusion?"
Just like when she mistakenly entered the herb farmhouse of Medicine Immortal, this place should also be an illusion formed by memory. But she didn't know which immortal left his memory here.
Wei Yan was now sitting paralyzed on the ground. He had just relied on his own strength to fend off the insects, and was bitten all over his body. He felt that he had no strength left, so he had to watch Ran Ran carefully to see if she had any intention of attacking him.
Seeing that Ran Ran didn't come over, he said, "This should be a memory sealed by the Great Shield Heaven. It is said that when the Great Shield Heaven ascends, it must abandon the reluctance of the human world, so the memory is sealed up. You can come and take a look occasionally in the future."
Ran Ran also thought what he said made sense. There seemed to be women and children in Dun Tian's memory. It seemed that he should have had a family and children before he became an immortal...
At this moment, a voice came from outside the window: "Husband, it's time for dinner!"
Then came the children's giggles: "Dad, if you don't come, Bao'er will eat all the chicken legs!"
But no one opened the door, and the shouts were repeated over and over again...
After a while, a bird with a red neck and a crescent of white fluff flew in and jumped around in front of the window.
At this time, the sound of a woman singing to soothe her baby to sleep was heard. The sound was as gentle as a meandering pool of water... The little bird seemed to be intoxicated by the singing. It curled up into a small ball of fluff, quietly listening with its neck tilted.
Perhaps before Duntian became an immortal, the things he was most reluctant to part with were his wife and children. However, in the memory that he deliberately sealed, he could only hear their voices but never see them. He never saw the faces of the woman and the child.
What made him afraid to even look at the faces of his wife and children in his memories?
She didn't have time to think and quickly squatted down to check the white tiger's injuries. When it entered the water just now, the insects on the white tiger's body were shaken away, leaving only dense wounds, staining the white tiger's fur red.
Ranran hugged it lovingly, touched its head, then took out the small medicine bag she carried with her from her bosom. Although the medicine inside was damp, it was still usable. She applied it to the white tiger, hoping that it would relieve the pain a little and make it feel more comfortable.
Just now she was sure that she was not hallucinating. The tiger did speak, and it used the voice of her master. What was going on? Could it be that her master was a tiger spirit?
His appearance is indeed somewhat different from that of an ordinary person. If he is a monster, it is possible... After all, fox spirits are very charming...
Tiger half raised his eyes at this time, and looked at her coldly with the same eyes as his master!
Ranran suddenly realized that no wonder she always felt something strange when she saw the white tiger these two days. It turned out that it was because the little tiger always had a sense of majesty for some unknown reason.
Ranran thought about the past few days when she hugged the white tiger, rubbed its face and fur, and scratched its belly... Suddenly she felt helpless!
Master! Please believe me! I am not trying to molest you because I covet your beauty!
At this moment, Su Yishui's cold voice rang in her ears again: "There is a golden talisman I gave you in your pocket. Put it on Wei Yan. If you want to get out of here, you still need to use him. You can't kill him for the time being."
Ran Ran blinked and found that Wei Yan beside her didn't seem to hear what Bai Hu said.
She understood that the master was using secret sound transmission, and it seemed that only she could hear it.
Wei Yan sat aside, meditating and regulating his breathing. He had been injured when fighting with Ran Ran White Tiger before, and was bitten severely by the fairy insect afterwards. He had to recuperate well. Fortunately, the spiritual power sucked away was not much, and the white tiger was seriously injured while protecting the little girl, so only Ran Ran was left, not to be feared!
As for Mu Qingge... he didn't have to wait for the backlash from the Black Pool to sever his love for her. He just wanted to catch her and break her neck... Anyway, he had already returned the key and released the soul oath he had made with Su Yishui, so it should be no problem for him to kill Mu Qingge...
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone coming over, but before he could react, a golden talisman was stuck on his cheek.
Ran Ran did not expect that she could stick the talisman so smoothly. She just tried it casually, but she did not expect Wei Yan to stick it on without even trying to dodge.
Wei Yan's eyes widened as he gritted his teeth and said, "Take the talisman away. How can such a sneak attack be considered righteous?"
Ran Ran heaved a sigh of relief, half squatted and stared at Wei Yan. She smiled shyly: "I really can't beat you, why don't we put a Taoist talisman on you, and let's calm down and think about how to get out of this predicament?"
What Wei Yan regretted most at this moment was that he had just rejected Mu Qingge and did not kill the little girl together.
However, he was currently at a disadvantage. Although he had entered the black pool that could speed up his progress, a lot of his spiritual energy had been sucked away by the fairy-eating insects. Now his dantian was feeling a little empty, and he needed to gather his energy to nourish his body.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to provoke this little girl to do something evil, so he said coldly: "Only I know how to crack the fairy-loving insect. If you want to get out of trouble, you have to ask for my help!"
What he meant was to tell Xue Ranran not to take advantage of this opportunity to harm him. If she killed him, she would also be trapped to death in the cave.
Ran Ran sincerely said that the Demon Lord was worrying too much, but if he could swear an oath with her soul and guarantee not to harm her and Bai Hu's safety and lives, she would be happy to remove the talisman for the Demon Lord immediately.
Wei Yan snorted coldly and did not agree. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
Ran Ran temporarily dealt with the big devil and could relax for a while. However, this was an illusion and there was no real bed, so she let Tiger lie on her legs, which would make him more comfortable.
But the Gengjin White Tiger now is not the little cat it used to be. It has a big head resting on its legs, and feels very heavy.
But because it was injured, it felt a little coquettish. When Ranran called it, it half drooped its eyelids and continued to snuggle into Ranran's arms silently.
Thinking that this might be the master, Ran Ran was at a loss. At this moment, Su Yishui's voice rang in her ears again: "I used the beast control technique to connect my spirit with the white tiger, but now the white tiger's spiritual energy is fading too fast, and I don't know if I can continue to control it. You should take this time to regulate your breathing so that the spiritual energy you just absorbed can be better used by you. Although those fairy insects are domineering, they also have weaknesses. Every time the sun sets, they lack the yang energy to continue, and their activity will decline a lot. At that time, you let Wei Yan use the true fire to open the way, and you should be able to rush down the mountain..."
When the master said this, his voice was a little weak. Ran Ran understood that the so-called beast control technique was to merge oneself with the spirit beast. Now the white tiger's body was covered with scales, which meant that the master who controlled the white tiger was also seriously injured.
At this time, Wei Yan finally calmed down and calmed down. He smiled with a fake smile on his handsome face with the talisman on his face, "Little girl, you can actually subdue Mu Qingge's mount. You are really good. But did your master tell you that this kind of beast has a changeable temperament. It may act cute with you at this moment, but it may bite your head off the next moment?"
Ran Ran thought for a moment and answered honestly, "Master didn't say that. He just told us to be on guard against you Chimen people. But I don't think you are as bad as Master said. At least you have the ability, and you act like a man in a duel. You are much better than the disciples of Jiuhua Sect..."
Because he would be needed later, Ranran decided to say something nice to pat the devil's stinky ass.
Wei Yan was very pleased with what she said. He raised his brows and said, "How can those hypocritical guys compare with me?"
However, the white tiger in Ranran's arms didn't seem to like her insincere lies. It raised its head slightly and stared at her with its big tiger eyes.
Ranran stuck out her tongue, and out of habit, she reached out and pinched Baihu's chin. Baihu couldn't control his instinct and turned over, allowing Ranran to continue pinching his chin.
...Master, I really didn't mean it...
However, it was unclear whether the one squinting at her was Baihu or the master, who seemed to be waiting persistently for the comfortable itching.
Ran Ran had no choice but to continue to tickle the tiger's chin.
Moreover, she had to continue to talk nonsense with Wei Yan to ease the life-and-death atmosphere: "Your Excellency Wei, there are fairy-eating insects everywhere outside now, and we can't be trapped here forever. I wonder if you have any solution?"
Wei Yan snorted coldly: "Mu Qingge is deliberately plotting against me, but where did she get so many fairy-eating insects? These insects parasitize on the rotting corpses of the Demon Mountain. It often takes twenty years for them to grow into adults. If no one carefully feeds them, they cannot spread so quickly in the sun..."
Ran Ran understood what Wei Yan meant. It had only been less than a year since Mu Qingge fell from the tree. She had no time to look for these rare poisonous insects, let alone cultivate them herself.
So who gave Mu Qingge these bugs? I'm afraid I can only find out after meeting Master Mu.
What Ran Ran was more worried about was whether these insects would spread from Tianmai Mountain and affect his second uncle and others at the foot of the mountain.
Wei Yan then took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and looked closely at the little girl in front of him who was pursing her lips in thought.
To be fair, although she is not as bright and charming as Mu Qingge, her eyebrows and features are delicate, especially her eyes are lively. The longer you look at her, the more you like her.
Wei Yan squinted his eyes and suddenly found that the white tiger raised its head vigilantly, blocking his wanton gaze.
The evil Wei snorted coldly, "What a tactless beast! Did you think he was attracted to that ugly girl?"
Although he was stuck with a talisman, he was not anxious because he knew that as long as he recovered his true energy, he would be able to break the talisman. It would be okay to let the little girl be proud for a while...
As Wei Yan was thinking, suddenly another golden talisman "snapped" and stuck on his forehead again. The little girl withdrew her hand and smiled shyly: "Sir Wei, your skills are too profound. Do you mind if I stick another one on you?"
The Qi that Wei Yan had gathered with great difficulty was dispersed in an instant. He slowly grinned and laughed through gritted teeth: "Xue...Ranran, right? Isn't it a bit redundant to ask after you've already stuck to me?"
Ranran wanted to say something else, but Baihu pulled her clothes with his mouth from behind, signaling her to stay away from Wei Yan.
"Don't waste your words on him. If he wants to survive, he must join forces with you... Give me a rub on my back. The wound hurts a bit..."
After listening to the master's secret transmission, Ran Ran hurriedly continued to massage Bai Hu's back. Then she listened to the master's words, stopped talking to Wei Yan, and began to meditate and concentrate.
After coming out of the marrow washing pool, she felt the energy in her dantian surging violently, and she had to regulate her breathing every once in a while.
She saw that Wei Yan also closed his eyes and didn't say anything, so it should be the same.
Just like this for a while, I gradually entered a state of clarity and brightness. Even across the stone wall and the pool water, I could clearly hear the sounds of the outside world.
The buzzing sound of the red insects continued. I wondered if the senior brother had come down the mountain in time to avoid this plague of insects...
At this moment, Wei Yan suddenly spoke again: "Little girl, I am willing to swear an oath, but you must also swear that you will reveal the golden talisman to me."
Wei Yan had tried several times just now, but he was unable to break the talisman with his own strength. He didn't know where she got it from, but it seemed to be the work of a talisman master.
Since he couldn't break free, Wei Yan could only accept Ran Ran's suggestion, but he was cautious and only swore that he would not hurt her on Tianmai Mountain, and would find trouble for her after leaving Tianmai Mountain.
Ran Ran nodded and agreed. After the two rooms had agreed, Ran Ran went over and removed the talisman on Wei Yan's face.
When the talisman was unveiled, Wei Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed Ran Ran's wrist, pulling her into his arms. Ran Ran was not panicked, blinking her eyes and reminding the Demon Lord: "That... the end of breaking the soul oath is very miserable..."
Wei Yan's wrist was slightly dazed when it was held: This girl's skin is so delicate, just holding it like this, it feels as soft as jade...
Before he could move his fingers to play with it more, the tiger suddenly let out a deafening roar and flew towards him.
Wei Zhen quickly let go and dodged, but he forgot that he swore not to hurt the beast, but the beast would not swear. If he provoked it, he would have to waste his true energy again.
"It's just holding your hand, how can it be considered breaking the oath? Could it be that the little girl doesn't have a lover yet, is she a little shy because she hasn't fallen in love yet?"
Although they no longer shook hands, Wei Yan still couldn't help but tease her with words. However, she was pretty, delicate and charming, and her skin was so delicate... I wonder if the sanctimonious Su Yishui has tasted this delicious little sweet fruit...
Ran Ran didn't have time to pay attention to him. She looked at the little white tiger licking her wrist with a smile. As if he was disgusted that she was dirty by Wei Yan's grip, the white tiger simply bit her wrist with his mouth, making a gurgling sound, and seemed very unhappy.
Well... although the master has merged with the white tiger, he obviously cannot control some of the white tiger's daily habits. This kind of finger-biting game is indeed the little tiger's favorite thing to do on weekdays.
After comforting Baihu, Ran Ran raised his head and said seriously, "It doesn't matter whether I am in love or not, but Master Wei, your stomach is boiling. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will faint from hunger here."
The reason for saying this is that Ran Ran felt very hungry. The sudden abundance of true Qi, coupled with the movement of Qi and breath, seemed to whet her appetite, and fasting was of no use.
Sure enough, just as she finished speaking, Wei Yan's stomach started growling. Ran Ran took out her snack bag. Although the dried sweet potatoes were a little damp, they were still enough to fill her stomach.
Seeing Wei Yan staring at her, Ran Ran handed some to him. This time, Wei Yan was not polite and ate it in a few bites - this girl's snacks are really delicious...
When Ran Ran entered the cave just now, she took out the water drop clepsydra that Uncle Zeng Yi had given her to calculate the time and placed it aside. She had been calculating the time they would enter the cave. Now she calculated that they had stayed in this cave for too long.
So Xue Ranran said, "When we entered the water, it was noon and the sun was hot, which was when the celestial insects were at their most energetic. But now it is evening and there is no sun, so those celestial insects are not so powerful anymore. We can take this opportunity to break through."
Wei Yan didn't expect that she, at such a young age, actually knew the weakness of this fairy insect. It really surprised him. But she was right. Now was a good time to break out.
