Chapter 909 The bet was right!
“
Yeah, how do I leave?"
Liu Sheng suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, "If this is a secret realm created by a great cultivator, how can mortals like us break through it?"
After saying that, he shook his head lightly as if in self-mockery, "No, I'm already a ghost, how can I still think I'm human?"
"Ghosts are transformed from humans, too. There's not that much difference." Lu Qingqing consoled him. "Don't worry. There's always a way out. Let's think of a solution."
She and Shochiku fell from the "sky" and it was impossible for them to return the same way they came.
Then the way out must be in this small world.
In fact, the secret realm is a more powerful version of the formation. As long as it is a formation, there must be a formation eye.
If you find the center of the formation, you will find a way out.
Liu Sheng was a little worried when he heard this. "Can the core of the formation set up by the great master be broken?"
Lu Qingqing thought that Liu Sheng was indeed talented and could immediately understand that the eye of the formation was the key to maintaining the operation of magic power. She was worried that their strength was not enough to fight against the powerful man with unfathomable cultivation.
"Don't worry, Master Liu. I guess this is just a secret realm opened up at random by a powerful person. It shouldn't have any powerful spells set up, otherwise Songzhu and I wouldn't have fallen into it."
Yagyu thought about it and felt that this made sense.
Even though he hadn't fully grasped the truth yet, he could see that Lu Qingqing had a profound cultivation base, while Song Zhu had no true qi to protect his body.
Since pine and bamboo can come in, there is still a chance for them to get out.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
…
Lu Qingqing carefully toured this small world.
The bamboo forest is full of vitality during the day. The wind blows the leaves, and the sunlight shines through the gaps, casting light and shadows of various shapes.
There is a thick layer of fallen leaves, but they do not look withered and decayed. Instead, they have a kind of cyclical vitality.
The lawn in the backyard of the bamboo building is even more beautiful. The grass and trees nurtured by the spiritual energy are lush and fresh, and just one look at it makes you feel happy.
The steep and majestic mountain walls in the distance and the tall and unyielding green pines in the mountains are awe-inspiring.
In general, the secret realm gave her a wonderful feeling of the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, the rotation of the four seasons, and the vitality.
But I always feel like something is wrong.
Lu Qingqing walked towards the cliff while thinking.
"Miss Lu, be careful." Liu Sheng reminded from behind, "There's a ditch ahead."
Lu Qingqing stopped.
Various objects in the ditch ahead were still scattered on the ground, and the big hole dug yesterday was quite obvious.
She looked upwards and saw the various vines on the cliff wall covered with dust. If you didn't look carefully, you would think they were hemp ropes.
……Um?
Lu Qingqing looked around again, her eyes lighting up.
"Owner."
The pine and bamboo trees seemed to be able to sense Lu Qingqing's mood and ran over.
It really looks like a golden retriever, and you can even imagine the big tail shaking behind it.
Lu Qingqing had the urge to touch his head.
Luckily, Shochiku wasn't really Fluffy, so she was able to control herself.
At this time, Yagyu also walked over slowly.
"Miss Lu, have you found anything?"
Lu Qingqing looked at him seriously, "Master Liu, what if I can't find the center of the formation? The secret realm doesn't belong to the Three Realms. The ghost messenger from the underworld can't sense you, and I can't contact the ghost messenger to pick you up."
"If you can't find it, just stay here." Liu Sheng smiled calmly, "I've lived here for almost a hundred years and I'm used to it. This place is like my home. Besides, there is spiritual energy here. Even if I can't become a ghost cultivator, it's great for cultivating my life and improving my character."
——Besides, with you here, life will not be boring, but only happy.
Of course, I only said this in my heart.
"Will Miss Lu be sad if she can't go out?" Liu Sheng asked again.
"Won't."
Lu Qingqing shook her head and glanced at Song Zhu who was holding the compass beside her. "But I have to send him out."
Although the secret realm is small, it is rich in spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation. More importantly, there are no bad guys, so the plot of the original book will not be triggered, so you can save your life.
Lu Qingqing could accept living here for the rest of her life.
But pine and bamboo are not the same.
He needs to be cured, and he also has his own career and life.
Since we brought him out of the ghost market, we must be responsible for him.
"Miss Lu is truly affectionate and righteous. I admire her."
Yagyu could see that their relationship was not an ordinary master-servant one, and besides feeling emotional, he also felt an indescribable envy.
After calming down, he suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, Miss Lu has figured out a way, otherwise she wouldn't be in the mood to tease me."
"I can't hide it from a smart person like you." Lu Qingqing gave a thumbs up.
"What do you mean?" Yagyu was particularly curious. "Where is the center of the formation?"
Lu Qingqing raised her chin and said, "The vines on the cliff are a little special."
Yagyu walked closer and observed, concluding, "It looks lifeless, like a dead object."
"That's the crux of the matter." Lu Qingqing pointed at the wildflower in Song Zhu's hand. "Look, even the plucked flowers are vibrant and vibrant, just like most of the creatures in this secret realm. Only this vine is lifeless."
If something seems out of place, there must be a reason behind it.
She jumped into the ditch, reached out and grabbed one of the vines, which was as thick as a baby's arm, and tugged at it. "It's very strong."
Yagyu instantly understood what she meant.
"Can I climb up the vines?"
Lu Qingqing nodded, "Let me try first."
"Master!" Songzhu threw away the wild flowers, "I'll go with you."
Seeing his pitiful expression of fear of being thrown away, Lu Qingqing had no choice but to coax him, "I'm just going to see if this road is passable. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You stay here with Master Liu and don't run around."
Shochiku nodded obediently, "Okay then."
"Miss Lu, please be careful." Although he knew that Lu Qingqing was very capable, Liu Sheng was still a little worried about such a high mountain.
"good."
Lu Qingqing grabbed the vines, pushed hard against the cliff, and jumped up several feet.
The moment her feet touched the mountain wall, the sensation suddenly changed.
It is no longer rugged rocks, but a mossy cliff face, which is very difficult to use as a foothold and will cause you to slip if you are not careful.
Lu Qingqing was delighted, because this was the geological form of Fuyue Mountain.
Using a little bit of true energy, Lu Qingqing continued to climb up.
The slippery cliff surface could not stop the cultivator, let alone Lu Qingqing who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
She moved swiftly and quickly climbed to the pine tree.
Unlike the lush greenery in the illusion, its branches and leaves are withered and it looks like it has reached the end of its life.
Lu Qingqing didn't delay and continued to move forward.
Soon, she seemed to have emerged from underground. The sunlight shone on her, and all kinds of smells in the forest came to her face, complex and real.
The bet was right.
Returning to the secret realm again, Lu Qingqing gave a brief account of the situation.
Shochiku and Yagyu were both very excited.
But the problem arises again.
Songzhu naturally climbed up the vines with Lu Qingqing, but what about Liu Sheng?
He is now a spirit body, and cannot leave the secret realm by his own strength. Lu Qingqing thought about it and found only one solution, that is, Liu Sheng temporarily lives in the artifact and she will take him out.
Objects that can allow ghosts to inhabit must have natural spiritual power.
Lu Qingqing searched the bamboo house thoroughly but found nothing; she also searched the items in the ditch, but they were all scrap metal.
She had a lot of money on her, but no magical tools.
The dagger used as a weapon is also a mundane object, without any spiritual power.
Thinking of the brilliant light that the mysterious dagger that was dug out bloomed in her dream, Lu Qingqing decided to let Liu Sheng try.
The operation ended in failure.
Just when the atmosphere was getting a little heavy, Songzhu, who was playing in the distance, ran over and took out a compass.
"Try this."
Lu Qingqing took the compass and looked at it carefully.
It was indeed a good thing, and it was in tune with Songzhu's thoughts, but she didn't see any natural spiritual power in it.
Facing Songzhu's innocent and passionate gaze, Lu Qingqing couldn't say anything to hurt him.
Yagyu saw her hesitation and asked, "Try it?"
"Alright." Lu Qingqing placed the compass on the ground, extended two fingers, closed her eyes, and silently chanted a spell.
The originally ordinary compass began to spin on its own, faster and faster, and even produced a puff of white smoke.
The white smoke enveloped Yagyu, then turned into a whirlwind and drilled into the compass.
"Success!" Shochiku jumped up excitedly.
Lu Qingqing was stunned.
It turned out that her cultivation was too low, and she mistook the treasure for an ordinary thing.
"Songzhu, which sect or school are you from?" To be able to obtain such a magical weapon, his identity must be extraordinary.
Songzhu tilted his head, "Master, what did you say?"
“…”Forget it, let’s take him to the hospital for treatment first.
After releasing Yagyu from the compass, he was extremely surprised and thanked Lu Qingqing and Songzhu repeatedly.
"Mr. Liu is too polite." Lu Qingqing said, "Meeting is fate. We are very happy to take you out."
"If I can finally understand the Dao in the future, I will never forget your kindness."
"Your kindness is too great." Lu Qingqing smiled brightly. "If you achieve something in the future, Master Liu, just don't forget me as your friend."
Yagyu bowed respectfully and said, "I will never forget it."
…
There is a time difference between the secret realm and the outside world. Lu Qingqing calculated that it was still morning at Fuyue Mountain, and she would not be able to summon the Yincha after going out, so it would be better to wait a little longer.
The secret realm is so beautiful, if you stay longer you can absorb more spiritual energy, so why not?
After some rest and preparation, it was finally time to set off.
Lu Qingqing put the compass and the dagger she dug out at her waist, and wanted to hang all the luggage on her body.
Songzhu refused to do it no matter what, and Lu Qingqing had no choice but to let him take the bag.
He let Songzhu take a pill to strengthen his body and accumulate strength, and also injected him with spiritual power. Then the two of them grabbed the vines and climbed up.
Lu Qingqing was naturally slower than when she was alone with Songzhu. Fortunately, Songzhu was very determined and relied on his physical fitness to keep up with her pace. In the end, they climbed to the top of the mountain without any danger.
At this moment, the last ray of sunset was obscured by the floating inky clouds, and the forest was filled with the mystery and unknown of the approaching night.
They should be at the top of the mountain now, but not by the same route they came.
It’s not a big problem. We can find the way down the mountain after daybreak.
Lu Qingqing was relaxed, but Songzhu was sweating profusely and was leaning against a big tree to rest.
Soon, night fell.
Yagyu floated out of the compass.
A hundred years later, when he saw the scenery of the human world again, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was filled with emotion.
I'll summon the ghost messenger later and let him take a closer look, Lu Qingqing thought.
Who knew that just as the thought came to his mind, a cold wind suddenly blew through the forest, and it was freezing cold.
