Du Heng was leisurely eating fruit over there, but in another cave in the Wanzong ruins, Xuan Yu and the other two were not so comfortable.
Feng Gui returned to his original appearance and stood on the mountain. The mountain below him became a scorched earth. Under the chaotic sky, one could still see dots of fire on the mountain. At the moment when the Wanzong Ruins collapsed, many cultivators were ejected from the ruins, and some were blown to various small caves in the ruins by the strong wind.
Of course, some monks who didn't have time to escape were shattered by the strong wind and disappeared between heaven and earth. The magnificent landscape that Xuan Yu and his companions saw when they came down had become a ruin under the raging wind. The green mountains and clear waters were gone. The azure sky turned into a chaotic color, and ashes floated in the air. It was hard to imagine that there were still people alive here.
Feng Gui's golden hair fluttered slightly in the wind. He stared at the southeast sky for a long time. The long sword in his hand made a buzzing sound from time to time. Finally, he turned his head and said, "I feel a little breath."
On the hillside behind Feng Gui, Jing Nan showed his seven big tails. He leaned on his tails with a pale face. Jing Nan opened his mouth and said weakly: "I don't know how he is now, whether he is suffering..."
Feng Gui was silent for a while, and he comforted himself: "Although he looks silly, he lives better than we thought when he is alone."
Jing Nan wanted to sit up, but a hand reached out from the side and held him down: "Don't move." Jing Nan tried hard and could only lie down tiredly. He muttered and patted the hand on his chest: "I'm not that fragile..."
There was a faint light blue light flashing on the skin of that arm. Looking along the arm, Xuan Yu's face appeared in front of the two of them, but compared to the usual appearance, Xuan Yu's appearance was a little different.
Xuan Yu has always been a gentle man with black hair and black eyes. Under the raging wind, Xiao Yu revealed his original form to protect Jing Nan and Feng Gui. He wanted to protect Du Heng first, but the arm he was holding was shattered by the wind, and Du Heng was taken away by the chaotic wind in an instant. Under the physical and mental blow, the illusion cast on him could no longer support him, and Xuan Yu revealed his true appearance.
Xuan Yu's face was still about the same as before, but his skin had become very white, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was whiter than snow. There was a faint green light flashing under his white skin, and it looked like there was a layer of scales hidden under his skin.
Xuan Yu's long hair turned from black to silver-white, and his eyes turned into pure green. If the previous Xuan Yu was noble, reserved and subtle, the current Xuan Yu was as deep and domineering as the sea. If Du Heng was here and saw Xiao Yu like this, he would be so surprised that he would be speechless.
His spiritual energy was surging and fierce. If it weren't for Jing Nan's Thousand Chance Umbrella, Jing Nan on the side would not be able to withstand his spiritual energy. Xuan Yu said to Jing Nan in a deep voice: "Don't force yourself. The passage is still unstable now. What we need is a good rest."
Jing Nan muttered, "Okay, okay, give me another pill." Xuan Yu took out a storage bag from Jing Nan's sleeve with shaking hands: "Is this the storage bag?"
Jing Nan narrowed his eyes: "There is a food box inside, and inside the food box is a jade bottle. That is a life-saving thing, let's each take one pill." Xuan Yu took out a food box from the storage bag. After opening the food box, the first thing he saw was not the jade bottle, but a not-so-good-looking sugar man that was well protected by a formation.
The basket on the little sugar man's back was made of sugar syrup and turned into a sugar block. It smiled at Xuan Yu with curved eyebrows. Xuan Yu's hand was suspended in the air. Jing Nan smiled: "Don't break it for me." Xuan Yu replied: "Okay."
The arm that Xuan Yu had just grown was paler than the one next to it. When the emerald green pill fell into his palm, one could see that his hand was shaking.
Feng Gui put some spiritual energy on Xuan Yu's back and asked, "How do you feel?" Xuan Yu picked up a pill and put it into Jing Nan's mouth. He picked up another pill and handed it to Feng Gui, saying, "Much better. I think you'll be able to recover in another hour."
Feng Gui swallowed the pill in one gulp: "Don't worry, Du Heng won't die so easily. He has the Phantom Sky Pearl in his body, and the Phantom Sky Pearl will protect him."
Xuan Yu nodded: "I know. How are you?" Xuan Yu's eyes fell on Feng Gui's waist and abdomen, and saw a burnt black spot on the bright yellow robe. Feng Gui's waist was hit by the strong wind. At this moment, the flesh on his waist was wriggling and recovering quickly, but when he was injured, his internal organs were about to leak out of the wound.
Feng Gui chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This level of injury won't kill me."
After taking the pill, Jing Nan felt much lighter. He lazily leaned on his tail and squinted at his two friends: "What do you think, is this man-made or is the ruins unstable?" Xuan Yu lowered his eyes: "It's hard to say."
Jing Nan frowned slightly, he coughed twice, and looked pale and weak: "Then don't say it. Xiaoyu, can you control your spiritual energy? Fold the umbrella and come closer." Xuan Yu responded by folding the umbrella and putting it aside, and he moved towards Jing Nan.
Jing Nan complained: "Come closer, it's not warm at all from so far away."
Feng Gui leaned on Jing Nan's left side. He put his arms around Jing Nan's neck, closed his eyes and said, "Let's take a rest. When Xiaoyu recovers, we will go to find Du Heng. If it's man-made, we will find out who is behind it. If it's because the ruins are unstable, we can only blame ourselves for our bad luck."
Xuan Yu leaned on Jing Nan's right side. He held Jing Nan's hand and slowly transmitted spiritual energy to him: "Xixi, please hold back your spiritual energy. It's not good for Nan Nan's recovery if it's too strong."
The spiritual energy of these three people slowly flowed along with their clasped hands. As the spiritual energy flowed, Xuan Yu's new arm was slowly becoming stronger, Feng Gui's side was slowly recovering, and Jing Nan's expression was gradually softening.
Jing Nan wrapped his tail around his two companions, and the white tail protected Feng Gui and Xuan Yu like a soft quilt. This was not the first time they had experienced this kind of situation, so they were already experienced.
Jing Nan smiled: "The last time we shared spiritual energy was when we were fighting monsters?" Feng Gui said: "Well, I was seriously injured. If it weren't for you and Xiaoyu, I would be dead." Xuan Yu closed his eyes and whispered: "Don't talk, let's all get some sleep. There may be another tough battle to fight."
On the other side, Wang Muye looked at the shack on the mudflat with admiration: "Did you make this? You have such a skillful hand." Although the shack looks ugly like a big bird's nest, it is really comfortable to crawl into.
Du Heng laughed and scratched the back of his head: "Fortunately, without spiritual energy to protect my body, I can only use such a stupid method to keep warm." Wang Muye looked at the fire pit in front of the shack. Du Heng had been out for most of the day, and there was still a little charcoal fire in the fire pit. Wang Muye was convinced: "Awesome."
Du Heng urged Wang Muye: "Boss Wang, can you please check where the center of the formation is?"
Wang Muye took out a palm-sized Bagua plate from his arms. In the center of the Bagua plate, there was a pea-sized copper bead spinning. Wang Muye observed it for a long time, and the copper bead never stopped.
Seeing this scene, Wang Muye laughed instead: "That's right, this is the center of the formation, but I guess the center of the formation is not very stable for the time being, and it will take some time to recover. It seems we have to stay here for a while." When they were in the mountains before, the small bead in the middle of the formation plate did not move at all.
Xiaoxiao liked this small shack very much. He thought it was good. He decided to stay at the center of the formation. If the formation opened, his uncle and the others would be able to find him immediately. After thinking of this, Xiaoxiao happily ran towards the reed marsh: "Chirp."
Wang Muye said to Du Heng: "Du Heng, your bird ran away."
Du Heng was putting wood into the fire pit. He turned around and looked, "Xiaoxiao went to catch wild ducks. He only ate a few fruits all day. He must be hungry."
Wang Muye watched Xiaoxiao's chubby figure disappear in the reeds. He was amazed and said, "I didn't realize that your bird is so capable! I also had a pet before, a black turtle, but it wasn't as lively as your bird."
Du Heng smiled: "Hmm? Black turtle? Is it a turtle? I heard that turtles can live for a long time. Don't you have it with you, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Muye helped Du Heng split the big log into pieces and piled them up next to him. He spoke with a hint of desolation, "It died a few years ago. I wasn't a good owner, and it never enjoyed any happiness with me."
Du Heng realized that he had brought up someone else's sad story, so he apologized, "Ah, sorry. By the way, I didn't expect that as the leader of a sect, you, Mr. Wang, are so good at handling such trivial matters!"
Du Heng was not complimenting Wang Muye. Wang Muye's movements in chopping wood were more standard than Du Heng's, and his posture in making fire was also much more skillful than Du Heng's.
Hearing this, Wang Muye smiled and said, "Before I joined Tianyi Sect, I had five brothers and sisters, and I was the eldest. At that time, my family was poor. In order to survive, I followed my parents to the mountains to chop wood and go fishing. In the autumn, we burned charcoal and sold it, so that we could exchange it for some money to buy rice."
Du Heng looked at Wang Muye in surprise. He thought Wang Muye was a pampered man, but he didn't expect that he was a child from a poor family.
Wang Muye looked at the firewood in the fire pit with gentle eyes. He said slowly, "In the current cultivation world, spiritual beasts won't eat rice or flour. But when I was a child, it was a great thing for my family to have a meal of spiritual rice. We were so poor back then..."
Du Heng nodded and listened to Wang Muye's story. Wang Muye did not hide anything. He smiled and said, "When I was a child, it was not easy for an ordinary family to earn two taels of silver a year. At that time, if you became a clerk in the sect, you could earn two taels of silver a month. So many people rushed to do clerkship in the sect. Over time, there were fewer people willing to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, and they became very poor."
Wang Muye said, "My father later also did odd jobs, but he broke his leg while working in the sect. Later, I took his place and went to Tianyi Sect. Unexpectedly, when they tested my spiritual roots, they found that I had spiritual roots, so I became a disciple of Tianyi Sect."
337
Du Heng asked curiously: "Then what?"
Wang Muye said: "Then I practiced all the way until I reached the end of the Nascent Soul stage. My master passed the Tianyi Sect to me, and I became the leader of the sect."
Du Heng admired and said, "That's amazing." Wang Muye said, "It's actually okay. I think it's mainly luck. When you're lucky, everything goes smoothly. What do you think?"
Du Heng nodded: "Yeah, that makes sense."
Wang Muye said with a smile: "I have introduced myself, can you tell me about yourself? I remember that you were an outer servant of Yaowang Valley before? How did you get kidnapped by Yan Buhui? And how did you meet Sect Master Wen Qiong?"
Du Heng sighed, "Just like what you said, Boss Wang, this is fate. I was living well in Yaowang Valley, but Yan Buhui captured the inner disciples to refine the Out-of-Body Pill, and I was captured along with my senior brother. But I didn't expect the Illusionary Sky Pearl to be on my body. My senior brothers said I couldn't go back with them, so they asked me to run to Dongji Mountain. In fact, when I think about what happened in between, I feel hazy and it doesn't seem real."
As early as when Du Heng's identity was exposed, Jing Nan and his friends had made up a series of stories for him to prevent him from being tricked by others in the future. Only Du Heng and the other parties involved knew what was true and what was false.
After hearing what Du Heng said, Wang Muye asked curiously, "How is it unreal?"
Du Heng said, "How ordinary am I? I am just an outer sect servant. Why did the Phantom Sky Pearl suddenly appear on my body? I was so scared that I fainted on the spot. It was only later that my senior brother told me that I had the Phantom Sky Pearl."
Wang Muye asked another question: "Speaking of which, how do you feel when the Phantom Pearl is in your body?"
Du Heng shook his head: "I don't feel anything. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to sense its existence. You may not believe this, but I don't even know where the Phantom Sky Pearl is in my body. It's not in my Dantian or my Sea of Consciousness. It's like it's melted away."
Wang Muye nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh... So that's how it is. What happened next? How did you escape?"
Du Heng said, "I didn't escape. My brothers from Medicine King Valley took pity on me and took me with them. After we left the Demon Realm, they told me to go east."
Wang Muye smiled and said, "And then you met Sect Master Wen Qiong?"
Du Heng looked at Wang Muye awkwardly: "At that time, I didn't know the identity of Master at all. I thought she was a little girl."
Wang Muye laughed and said, "I see, I see. Before Sect Master Wen revealed her true appearance, I always thought she was a man of steel. By the way, I noticed that there are three Jindan-stage cultivators around you. What's going on with them?"
Du Heng said casually, "Nannan and the others are independent cultivators who make a living by picking spiritual herbs in Dongji Mountain all year round. They received favors from my master in the early years, so my master asked them to take care of me more."
Wang Muye asked, "Didn't Sect Master Wen take you to the demon cultivation world?" Du Heng shook his head, "How could that be possible? Dongji Mountain is so dangerous, and I didn't know anything at that time. Wouldn't it be a nuisance for her if I followed her?"
Wang Muye pondered for a while and then asked, "Have you been living in Dongji Mountain since last year?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Yes, later I formed a pill, and my master said I could come to Shenxu Palace to practice swordsmanship." Du Heng opened his eyes and talked nonsense, and heard Wang Muye's face full of amazement: "Sect Master Wen actually sent her own disciples to other sects to practice, it's really... But it seems that she has done this before."
Du Heng shrugged: "Yeah." You really have to be careful when talking to Wang Muye. He looks gentle and refined, but Du Heng always feels that there is something else behind his words.
Wang Muye wanted to ask something, but he saw Xiaoxiao coming out of the reed marsh with a wild duck in his mouth: "Chirp!" Stop chatting and help him!
Wang Muye was shocked: "How amazing!" It was the first time he saw a bird that was so round and so agile. It looked so cute, but it could kill a wild duck. He also wanted to raise such a cute bird.
While Du Heng was processing the ducks, Wang Muye also built a better-looking shack based on the shack of Du Heng and his family. The two shacks were surrounded by a fire. When night fell, a few branches were inserted next to the fire, and fish and ducks were strung on the branches.
Du Heng wanted to continue grilling fish with his Qingshuang Sword, but Wang Muye said he would not let him do so. Sect Master Wang was heartbroken: "Although we are all practitioners of magic, we cannot waste the spirit sword like this. Fortunately, you met me. If you met Sect Master Ji, he would definitely be angry when he saw you grilling fish with the spirit sword."
Du Heng was surprised and asked, "Doesn't Sect Leader Ji practice the ruthless way? How can he care about others?"
Wang Muye warned, "It is because he practices the ruthless way that he has no burden when he attacks. Your behavior is an insult to the spirit sword, and the sword cultivators will think it is a provocation to them." He took the initiative to cut the branch, and Du Heng let go of his sword: "Is it so scary?"
No wonder Xiaoyu stabbed the snake with Xixi's magic sword and Xixi was so angry.
It was time to eat the tasteless roasted fish and duck. Even though the aroma of roasted fish and duck spread far and wide, Xiaoxiao couldn't muster up the energy. But he was hungry, and if he didn't eat, he would have no energy.
Seeing Xiaoxiao looking downcast, Wang Muye asked curiously, "What happened to your bird?" Du Heng said, "The food we started eating yesterday didn't have salt or other seasonings, so it didn't like it."
Wang Muye fumbled in his sleeves for a while, and he actually took out a bottle of salt: "I have it here." Du Heng took it happily: "Hey? Mr. Wang, can you open the storage bag?"
Wang Muye said: "No, I just have the habit of carrying seasonings with me. The storage bag is indeed useful, but if there is a lack of spiritual energy, even the bag mouth cannot be opened."
Du Heng thought Wang Muye was very experienced. He gave Wang Muye a thumbs up again: "Amazing!"
With the seasoning of salt, the fish and duck tasted more delicious. Du Heng tore off a duck leg for Wang Muye to eat. Wang Muye held the duck leg and stared at the campfire in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Du Heng didn't know how long he had slept. He heard Wang Muye's voice coming from outside the shack: "Du Heng, wake up! The center of the formation may have appeared!"
Du Heng rolled over with Xiao Xiao in his arms, and after getting out of the shack, he glanced and saw seven-colored spiritual light surging under the water where he and Xiao Xiao had been fishing before. Where the spiritual light appeared, the water seemed to be boiling, as if something was about to break out of the water.
The spiritual light was circular, swaying faintly under the water. Du Heng estimated that the diameter of the array eye was about five feet. As the water above the array eye churned, Du Heng felt a spiritual energy coming towards him. At the same time, Du Heng felt that his golden elixir, which had been stagnant for two days, began to slowly rotate!
Spiritual energy quickly appeared in the dry meridians, and Du Heng felt his body lighten up. He had spiritual energy!
Wang Muye held the Bagua plate in his hand. The copper ball on the Bagua plate rolled between two adjacent positions and finally stopped in the middle. Wang Muye said, "That's right, this is the center of the formation."
Du Heng said excitedly: "Boss Wang, can we go out now?!"
Wang Muye frowned: "The hexagram disk shows that the place where this array eye leads to is not very stable. Are you willing to wait or give it a try?"
Du Heng was stumped by this question. He asked Wang Muye, "Boss Wang, what do you think?" Wang Muye put away the Bagua Plate and looked at the bubbling water. "I want to give it a try. Now the Wanzong ruins are not stable. I'm afraid if I miss the key point of the formation, it will be difficult to get out in the future."
Du Heng made up his mind and was willing to listen to the boss. He said to Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, let's go too. It's rare that I have spiritual energy now. If we stay here, Nannan and Xixi will be trapped even if they come to rescue us."
Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing with Du Heng's statement. Life without spiritual energy was too hard, and he didn't want to keep eating tasteless duck and fish.
Before entering the center of the formation, Wang Muye said seriously: "The center of the formation is unstable, and where it leads to is unknown. I will go down first to explore the way. If the color of the center of the formation changes after I go down, you should not go down. If there is no change, you can follow me down."
Du Heng once heard Xuan Yu say that formations were a very magical thing, and that a formation could isolate two or even more worlds. The formation eye, as the core of the formation, would be hundreds of times stronger than the spiritual energy elsewhere, which was why one would perish if they were not careful when breaking through the formation.
The array eye that appeared in front of Du Heng was the most common array eye in the world of cultivation. It did not need to be broken, it was a teleportation array, and as long as it was found, one could get out of the trapped place. However, if the array eye of a teleportation array connecting two or more worlds changed dramatically, it would prove that the channel was unstable.
If someone went down at this time, they would probably be swallowed by the passage. If someone was willing to take the lead and try the passage first, he would be a selfless and immortal figure.
Du Heng was so moved that he said, "Mr. Wang, please be safe." Du Heng was so moved that he even used honorifics.
Wang Muye smiled and patted Du Heng on the shoulder: "My cultivation is higher than yours, this is as it should be."
After saying this, Wang Muye turned into a stream of light and plunged into the water. The moment he touched the water surface, a ring of purple-red aura appeared on the water surface. Wang Muye's figure disappeared the moment he entered the aura ring!
After Wang Muye left, the center of the formation was still the same as before. Du Heng waited for a while and found that the center of the formation seemed to be a little smaller. He picked up Xiaoxiao and said, "We can't wait any longer. Hold on to me, let's go!"
Du Heng flew up and headed for the center of the formation. Just as his body was about to touch the water, he saw the aura ring rising from the water turned into a turquoise color. When Wang Muye entered the formation, the aura ring was clearly purple-red!
Du Heng wanted to brake, but he couldn't: "Fuck!" He regretted it so much. If he had known, he should have gone with Wang Muye. However, he then remembered that he had entered the Wanzong ruins with everyone else, but were thrown into different places?
Du Heng closed his eyes and muttered: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, let's fight!"
Du Heng's figure disappeared, and soon the eye of the formation on the water surface also disappeared. This unknown little cave returned to peace, with only the occasional call of a wild duck.
338
Du Heng felt his body falling down, and the golden elixir in his body began to spin wildly. Just when he thought he was about to fall to his death, his body suddenly shook - his back touched something solid!
This feeling was very strange, just like a dream in which he was falling weightlessly, but when he woke up, he was still in bed. When Du Heng opened his eyes, he was lying on the ground.
The surrounding forest was quiet and peaceful, with only the chirping of autumn insects to be heard. Xiaoxiao jumped off Du Heng and looked around curiously: "Chirp." There is a familiar smell here!
Du Heng swept his mind and shed tears of excitement. After two days of being a waste, his spiritual energy finally returned. Xiaoxiao immediately lowered his head and took out his favorite snack from the storage bag and started to eat it. It was so delicious that the two of them hugged each other with tears in their eyes.
Du Heng's consciousness swept a large circle, but unfortunately he did not see Wang Muye or other cultivators. Du Heng did not know which small cave in the Wanzong ruins this was. He and Xiaoxiao discussed and decided to go to sleep first and talk about it after waking up.
At that moment, the two of them took out the cave, and saw a flash of light in the forest, and Du Heng's two-story building appeared in the ruins. As soon as they entered the cave, Nian Nian Sui Sui Ci Ba Wonton Owl came to greet them, and Du Heng touched his cute little pets one by one. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Wonton seemed to be in low spirits.
Du Heng fed the pets, and he and Xiaoxiao ate a little and took a bath. When lying on the big bed at home, Du Heng finally understood the meaning of "no place is better than home", and it was still more comfortable at home.
Wonton was very sticky today, and Du Heng couldn't drive it out of the room. Wonton just lay beside the bed, staring at Du Heng and Xiaoxiao with burning eyes until they fell asleep.
Du Heng slept for a long time. According to the usual time, it should be sunny outside at this time. But when he came out of the cave, he found that it was still dark outside. Du Heng thought for a while and said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, we may have to grope in the dark. Are you afraid?"
Xiaoxiao shook his head. He was not afraid at all! And now that Wonton was by his side, he felt very safe.
Du Heng originally wanted to put Wonton in the cave, but Wonton was unwilling to go in. Du Heng thought it would be good to have a dog following him, and Wonton still had a trace of Xiaoyu's consciousness on him, so if he was in danger, Xiaoyu could sense him.
Du Heng carried a backpack on his back, and Xiao Xiao squatted inside it. Wonton walked in front of him. With them by his side, Du Heng felt that he was not afraid at all. Du Heng also carried the lantern made by Xiao Yu. With the lantern lighting the way ahead, he felt at ease with every step.
This cave should have become dark in the past two days. Du Heng saw that the leaves on the trees beside the mountain path were still green. After the Wanzong ruins had problems, the small caves in various places were affected to varying degrees. The spirit beasts in the caves were panicked, and Du Heng had heard the calls of several spirit beasts.
After walking for most of the day, Xiaoxiao suddenly chirped and spoke to Du Heng. Du Heng vaguely distinguished that Xiaoxiao said a few words about the Beast Garden. Du Heng did not understand what Xiaoxiao meant at first, but after walking over a few hills, he saw an abandoned palace.
There was a golden formation flashing intermittently in the square in front of the palace. Du Heng's pupils shrank when he saw it. Isn't this the formation that Xiaoyu and the others built in Lingbao Garden a few days ago? !
Du Heng was extremely happy. He didn't expect that he could find his way to the Beast Garden. He could go back to the dining hall! However, when he wanted to get closer to the palace, Wonton suddenly stopped and bit Du Heng's trouser leg.
Wonton was a very intelligent dog. As soon as it bit Du Heng, Du Heng realized that something was wrong. He scanned the road in front of the palace with his spiritual sense and found that he was not familiar with it! This was strange. He had delivered meals to Lingbao Garden several times. There were only two or three hills between the gate of Lingbao Garden and this abandoned palace.
Judging from the direction, he should be near the gate at this moment, but he didn't see the gate!
Du Heng touched Wonton's head: "Are you trying to tell me that it's dangerous here and I shouldn't get close?" Wonton loosened his trouser legs and sat in front of Du Heng. Du Heng rubbed Wonton: "Okay, we won't get close."
At least he would not get close to the flashing formation. For some reason, he did not feel any problem when Xiaoyu and the others were building this formation. Now when he saw the formation in the dark, his hair stood up.
At this time, Xiaoxiao chirped and flew out of Du Heng's backpack towards the palace. Du Heng quickly followed him: "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?!"
When Xiaoxiao stopped, Du Heng had already arrived in front of the abandoned palace. Tai Shuhong was lying in the formation in front of the palace with his eyes closed. Xiaoxiao patted Tai Shuhong's face regardless: "Chirp!"
Du Heng was surprised to see Tai Shuhong lying here. Why didn't he see him here when he scanned with his spiritual sense just now? Just when Du Heng was thinking about whether to go forward to wake up Tai Shuhong, he heard Wonton calling. Wonton ran to the front of the palace and turned his head to look at Du Heng. Du Heng immediately understood what Wonton meant. Wonton wanted him to follow him.
Du Heng grabbed Xiao Xiao and ran to the palace. The palace had changed a lot. The last time Du Heng came in to pick mushrooms, the hall was full of rotten wood. Now the wood was removed, and a formation appeared on the ground in the hall that was exactly the same as the one outside, but smaller.
The color of the formation was blood red, which looked strange and ominous. In the center of the formation, Du Heng saw a faceless puppet. The puppet was wearing the same clothes as Tai Shuhong outside, and was the same size as him.
Just as Du Heng was wondering, Wonton called out to him again. This time, Wonton ran towards the room where Du Heng had found many puppets that looked very similar to himself.
Xiaoxiao was not very cooperative with Du Heng, and he struggled to wake up Tai Shuhong. However, when the two of them stepped into the room, they heard voices, and Xiaoxiao stopped struggling on the spot.
Du Heng heard Su Zhan's voice coming, and Su Zhan's voice was pleading and earnest: "Lao Ning, please help me this time. I swear this is the last time."
At the same time, Du Heng heard a sigh: "Old Su, we have been friends for thousands of years. I will definitely help if I can, but this time I really can't help. The previous one was just a remnant soul, but this time it's a living life. You raised him, how could you have the heart to do that to him?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Du Heng recognized it after a little effort. It was the voice of Yun Zhonghe's master, Ning Pingxi. Thinking of Ning Pingxi's face, Du Heng couldn't help but feel fear. He couldn't help but use the turtle breathing method. Xiaoxiao felt the change in Du Heng's breath, and he also suppressed his breathing.
Su Zhan said anxiously: "I have no choice. My brothers are somewhere in this ruins now. If they find this place, I will be finished."
Ning Pingxi was silent for a while, then he said, "I can't do it. Please ask Elder Jiang to come."
Su Zhan said: "Xiao Zhou is unwilling. He said that he can be ruthless to a remnant soul for the sake of his fellow disciples, but he cannot do it to his own fellow disciples."
Ning Pingxi's voice showed helplessness: "So you let me come? Su Zhan, I am a medical practitioner who saves lives, not an executioner who takes human lives lightly!"
Su Zhan said humbly: "But apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can fully drive out his soul." Ning Pingxi said unhappily: "You are going to use his body, and you still care whether his soul is complete or not? Su Zhan, Su Zhan, I can't see through you anymore."
Su Zhan's voice was filled with pain. "I gave him a chance. When my senior brother was going through the tribulation, I told myself that if I died, I would go to accompany Taishu. I passed the Shenzao Peak to him, and he can live a good life in Shenxu Palace in the future. If I survive, this is the chance God gave me, so that I can reunite with Taishu."
Ning Pingxi was furious: "You call this giving him a chance? You didn't tell him at all. I tell you Su Zhan, you and I have been close friends for many years, I can't continue to watch you being stubborn! You are simply crazy! Do you know what is going on now? Do you still think that Shenxu Palace is the Shenxu Palace you think it is?! Do you know that they came to your door?!"
Du Heng secretly looked outside through the crack in the door. Su Zhan and Ning Pingxi were standing at the entrance of the hall. Under the interaction of the two formations at the entrance and in the hall, the faces of the two people turned pale and red, looking like evil spirits.
Su Zhan looked at Ning Pingxi in confusion: "Who came to my house? What are you talking about?"
Ning Pingxi was furious, his old face was as withered and shriveled as an autumn chrysanthemum: "Who else could it be! Of course it's those people on the east side of Dongji Mountain! Me, me!" Ning Pingxi wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be strangled by someone and only a weak breath could be emitted.
Su Zhan stretched out his hand and tapped two acupoints on Ning Pingxi's chest: "Old Ning, you have been sworn to the spirit and soul and cannot speak? Is there anyone in this world who can force you to swear an oath?!"
Ning Pingxi was sweating profusely as if he had just been fished out of water. He sighed deeply, "Do you understand now? Whose remaining soul was in the Seven Star Lotus? Do you know now?"
Su Zhan was still confused: "I don't know. Isn't it said that it was a soul without an owner that strayed into the lotus platform? What happened?"
Ning Pingxi stamped his feet anxiously: "You are confused! The Seven-Star Lotus Platform is the spiritual treasure of Wuwang Sword Master. Who else in the world can be on good terms with Wuwang Sword Master?! Think about it carefully, who among the nameless and unranked people can have the blessing of being nurtured in the Seven-Star Lotus Platform?!"
Su Zhan looked confused and uncertain: "What...what do you want to say?"
Ning Pingxi's face turned red and white: "Anyway, I'm telling you, the previous matter has not been dealt with yet. If you still want to commit murder now, I will definitely stop you!"

Du Heng waved his hand awkwardly: "Hey~ Um, I said I traveled here accidentally, do you believe it?"
Su Zhan's face was grim: "No matter how you got here, you can't go back today." As he was speaking, a golden rope appeared in Su Zhan's hand, and the rope went straight to Du Heng. Before Du Heng could react, Du Heng's waist was tied up by the rope, and Xiao Xiao was also tied up like a dumpling.
Du Heng begged for mercy: "Elder Su, let's talk it over. Can you please not hang me upside down on the beam?" He always felt that the posture of being hung upside down was very much like that of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
