Secret place in the mountains
The Wang couple packed their things and prepared to leave. When they were packing their bedding, they found 100 spirit beads under the pillow. Wang Wenxiu pinched the bag and couldn't help crying: "This must be the money Xiaoluo gave me yesterday. I said I didn't want it. This girl is really..."
"Xiao Luo is so kind! For our sake, she actually fabricated a fake martial arts manual and even lured the tiger away from the mountain..."
As Wang Wutong spoke, his eyes became red. He was a big and strong man, but he was really moved by the friendship of a little girl.
Wang Wenxiu put the suitcase aside and hugged her husband, crying, "It's all our fault for being incompetent. You know how worried I was yesterday when I saw you hadn't come back yet. Xiaoluo is such a kind girl, but she actually went up the mountain alone to look for you. I don't know how much hardship she went through to find you, and I don't know how much hardship she went through to achieve her current level of cultivation."
Wang Wutong wiped his wife's tears and could only pray, "Yes, it's all our fault for being incompetent, which is why they ended up like this. I really hope the ancestors will bless them and hope nothing happens to them."
They both put their hands together and prayed for the ancestors' blessings.
An hour later, there was no one in the courtyard and everyone had disappeared.
Those who run away run away, and those who leave leave.
The courtyard on 8th Street, which was once bustling, is now deserted.

mountains
In this mountain that was so ordinary that it didn't even have a name, a few familiar faces have recently appeared. The animals nearby dare not roam around freely, and they immediately hide at the slightest sign of trouble.
In the woods, Zhang Yong held Qian Ruixue in one hand and turned his Buddhist beads with the other: "Miss Xiaoluo, can we trade now?"
"certainly……"
Qian Luo raised her eyebrows and stared at him warily. Time seemed to pass very slowly as one hand handed over the other the goods. Both sides were afraid that the other was playing tricks on them, so they were extremely cautious.
After the other party got the technique and flipped through it casually, he looked up and saw that Qianluo had disappeared. Only her additional message echoed through the woods: "Brother Zhang, thank you for your honesty and trustworthiness! I have good news for you. In a narrow cave filled with weeds, you can touch the stone wall with the orchid pattern. Just press it and you will see the place where I found the technique!"
He looked delighted, but the rent collector who had just arrived also heard it.
He secretly cried out, "Oh no! It was Qianluo who was setting him up!" But he had to go to this place!
As a result, the people who were originally on the same boat became disloyal within just a stick of incense because of the martial arts.
No matter how they killed each other, Qianluo's strategy of sowing discord that was not used in the simulation was obviously very successful. They originally gathered together for profit and will die for profit.
She followed the path in her memory and found the entrance to the secret realm. Who would have thought that there would be a secret realm in a mountain that didn't even have a name!
"Xiao Luo?"
After the white-haired boy drew the energy into his body, his body became dirty. He cleaned it up early in the morning and changed into a brand new blue gown, which made him look like a lone cloud and a wild crane, noble and elegant.
He looked at Qianluo with confusion, and said, "Where is this..."
"Shh, follow me." Qianluo pulled him through a narrow crack in the wall and went down. She turned on the flashlight and walked forward with her back bent.
Under the dim light, the boy glanced at their clasped hands, pursed his lips slightly, and followed the girl's thin back like a shadow.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I heard the sound of dripping mountain spring water nearby, and suddenly the view in front of me became clear and bright.
The stone walls are covered with lush moss, and the mountain spring water dripping from the stone walls is clear and transparent. It flows down along the winding path and merges with the stream on the ground.
However, the situation on the ground is not good.
Even though Qianluo was mentally prepared, she was still a little shocked when she suddenly saw so many bones.
The ground was covered with the bones of monks. This was obviously the place where they could not escape and had to sit and die.
They were sitting scattered around, the high-level magic weapons around them still emitting light, without any impact, especially the monks wearing high-level robes, who were holding a mirror magic weapon with golden patterns, a flute with a lustrous green light, and a lotus lamp with a graceful pink light. They were obviously worth a lot of money.
“…”
There was a blue cloth in front of her eyes. It turned out to be the white-haired boy blocking her view. He also comforted her in her ears: "Don't be afraid."
Qian Luo gave him a reproachful look. "My cultivation is higher than yours now, so I'm not afraid! Besides, I was just too surprised, so I was stunned. Don't you know that these people have so many treasures on them?"
She smiled and pushed his hand away, then jumped down and stood firmly in the center: "We are going to get rich."
The legendary storage bag! Mid-level magic tools! High-level magic tools! And the medicinal effects of fasting pills, rejuvenation pills, and qi-nourishing pills...
"Senior, please don't blame me. I will definitely send you off properly on your final journey!"
Qian Luo gathered the corpse's belongings while clasping her hands together and praying, "This is all karma. I'll take your belongings and dig a grave for you!"
After a while, she cleared everything out and pulled the stunned Qian Daxue aside: "You have a lot of spells, don't you have any spells that can dig holes quickly or some earth-attribute spells? Dig a hole and we'll bury the people!"
The young man was stunned. He took a look at the things in her hands, was silent for a while, and then he made a hand gesture towards the empty land nearby, and a big hole appeared on the ground.
Then, all the corpses were quietly put into the pit, and he waved his hand neatly, and they were automatically buried.
Qianluo exclaimed: "It's so fast..."
"Qian Daxue, look! This is a storage bag. We'll each get one. We'll also divide up the other magical instruments and elixirs. After we get out, we'll sell the remaining storage bags and unnecessary items to a shop and exchange them for spirit beads! Leave Area 8!"
Qianluo smiled, finally there was a storage bag!
She can carry a lot of things, and she can also use them to recharge points, exchange them for simulation opportunities, and find shops to exchange them for spirit beads!
She was so immersed in joy that she couldn't extricate herself. For a moment, she was overwhelmed and forgot why there were so many corpses here. Could it be that they didn't find the right way?
Impossible, even though the way they came in was hidden, it was impossible not to find it!
The young man's cold voice echoed in my ears: "Their bodies have multiple fractures, it's not a normal sitting posture."
Qian Luo was stunned, put away everything, and looked around: "Since it is a secret realm, there must be rare treasures. Treasures are often not so easy to obtain. There are usually monsters or..."
She was careless!
I actually forgot that this is the world of cultivating immortals!
How could there be so many benefits to be missed!
Moreover, she had just received the storage bag and had forgotten to be vigilant. You know, in many novels, there are characters whose spiritual consciousness is attached to storage bags and magical instruments, waiting for the unlucky person to open them one day so that the other party can take over their possession!
Thinking about it, I’m really scared!
The boy suddenly reminded: "Do you still remember the way back?"
Qianluo was puzzled: "Isn't it just..."
What! The road is gone!
She looked around and found that there was no dripping stone wall. The stone walls were bare everywhere, without a single blade of grass growing on them!
"Is it a formation? Or an illusion?"
The two men looked at each other, quickly stood back to back, ready to fight, and said in a deep voice: "There is no sound or anyone outside a hundred meters."
Qian Ruixue kicked away the stone at her feet and stepped forward to explore the way. After a while, the stone disappeared and the place was shrouded in fog.
His expression hardened: "It's the Eight Trigrams Maze."
Qian Luo knew it was difficult to break the formation just by hearing the name. She had never learned it before and was anxious: "Then if we find the center of the formation, we can break it!"
"Yes, you can also follow the rules of the Eight Diagrams."
Qian Ruixue closed her eyes, feeling the sound of wind and water all around her: "Follow me."
Qianluo was puzzled. How did he break the formation? He was also able to perform concealment formations before, so it was normal for him to be able to break them. She didn't know who he learned from.
It seems that everyone has an opportunity. If he doesn't say it, she won't ask.
After all, she wouldn't tell anyone about her golden finger.
Qian Ruixue followed the Bagua formula, closed her eyes, and took one step at a time, trying her best to ignore the illusions seen by the naked eye and only see the formation from the heart.
Holding his hand, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.
After a while, his voice rang in Qianluo's ears: "Open your eyes."
"This is……"
She opened her eyes and found only a bare stone wall in front of her. There was no corpse, no magic weapon, and no storage bag. She touched her waist and felt a sense of loss: "It's an illusion."
It turned out that in the simulation, she didn't know until her death that there was no treasure at all, it was all an illusion, and she didn't know whether Zhang Yong also died in the illusion in the end.
Damn it, she wanted to hit herself on the head!
She forgot that the couple had murderous intent out of greed, and she even dared to covet other people's belongings!
You deserve a beating!
But, it’s really nice to find a bargain!
Qian Luo wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only lean weakly on Qian Daxue. She naturally hugged his neck and buried her head in his tears, "My treasure, my storage bag, my magic weapon, ah ah ah!"
The young man let her lean on him, lowering his head and smiling, like a pure and elegant lotus: "Don't worry, this secret place is protected by the Eight Diagrams Mystery Formation, so there must be rare treasures."
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't be so defensive." Qian Luo raised her head again, alert to her surroundings, "Maybe there's a monster nearby."
"It's better to be cautious."
The two men searched the cave but found no other bodies, nor any magical herbs or elixirs, or any magical weapons or skills. Not even a blade of grass was to be seen!
In particular, there is always purple dust on the ground, as if it were burnt.
"Why is this place so desolate?"
Qianluo was puzzled: "It's like being burned by fire."
In an instant, something flashed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.
"Could it be that strange fire has descended into the world?"
"Strange fire appears!"
The two said in unison!
That’s right! It must be the emergence of a strange fire!
No wonder there is not a blade of grass or a single corpse here, and everything looks like it’s on fire!
Because the powerful strange fire will burn everything!
Qian Luo was breathing rapidly and smelled a scent from the cave. Her blood rushed and she felt a desire in her heart.
That's right, a voice told her!
This is her strange fire!
"This is yours."
She suddenly came back to her senses and found that she was already sweating profusely, but she heard the young man's words, which were nonchalant, as if he didn't care about the strange fire at all.
"You don't want it?"
His tall and slender figure landed on the stone wall, looking mysterious, and his voice was deep and deep: "I told you, this is your chance."
"you……"
Qianluo was about to say something when she heard a noise behind her and the boy covered her mouth.
White hair poured down like winter snow, bringing a chill. He listened attentively: "Be careful, they are coming."
