Chapter 13

Xu Ziqing opened his eyes and saw that it was the bottom of the mask under his feet. Strange to say, he didn't feel any hindrance when he entered, but when he came in and touched the light wall, he felt extremely hard. Before he could think about it, the mask had already floated up again and was thrown straight into the vortex.

·

A burst of dizziness, like suffering from countless bumps, finally stopped. Only when Xu Ziqing came back to his senses, he saw the mask disintegrating in the air, and everyone was thrown out in an instant!

He was a small cultivator of the first level of Qi refining, and he had to use all his spiritual power to protect his body, but he was still in a panic when he fell to the ground. The cultivator did step into the Immortal Path, but Xu Ziqing was at the bottom. Even though he had opened up the Ruoganxué orifice, his body still lacked a lot of strength.

Looking around again, old man He didn't know where the quilt was still going. There was no one around, and there was a soft ground under him, with many fine grasses and greenery.

The flowers are fragrant, the birds are melodious, and there are many ancient trees several meters high at the edge, jīnggān knots. There are several peaks in the distance, which are magnificent and majestic. Taking a deep breath, the seven orifices are even more refreshing.

What a strong spirit! If this is the secret realm, the secret realm is really beautiful.

Xu Ziqing stood up, patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, and looked around. Not only the old man He was not there, but the rest of the people were also not seen. Could it be lost? Or say something unexpected?

After thinking about it again and again, he couldn't be sure, Xu Ziqing slowly found his way and walked forward, but the palm of his hand gently caressed the cuff. It turned out that although Old Man He felt that Xu Ziqing was with him in the secret realm and would be able to take care of him, he was worried or had an accident, so he gave him four or five talismans to protect himself.

In the hands of monks who have stepped into the Immortal Road, talismans have always been of great use. Although Xu Ziqing was not able to use spiritual talismans yet, among the three types of talismans—huáng talisman, red talisman, and green talisman—that monks usually use during the Qi refining period, green talismans were quite rare, but Old Man He gave him a second-class red talisman. There are also three, if you are careful, you can make it.

Because of the abundance of spiritual energy in the secret realm, there are also a lot of various spiritual grasses. Xu Ziqing walked all the way, identified them all the way, and found that they were quite recognizable. After all, those spiritual sketchbooks were not recited in vain. It's a pity that he has no utensils in his hand, and he can't collect them, so he has to move.

Although there is no one in front of him, Xu Ziqing is still cautious. Although the secret realm is beautiful, it is probably very dangerous for him, a little cultivator of the first level of Qi refining alone.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden gust of wind coming from behind his ears, Xu Ziqing's pupils shrank, and he turned to the side. Sure enough, just where he was standing, there was a rustling sound of jet-black water, as if a handful of sulfuric acid had been poured, which immediately corroded a large area. What is it? ! Xu Ziqing sucked in a breath of cold air, hurriedly took two steps back, and immediately looked around quickly.

Then another mass of black water sprayed, Xu Ziqing swept away to the right again, and then looked around along the black water, and saw an arm-thick flower on an old tree, on a dead branch sticking out. Snakes with colorful scales, hissing letters. It saw that Xu Ziqing noticed it, and opened its mouth to spit out black water. Only then did Xu Ziqing realize that it was the venom of a flower snake.

Xu Ziqing looked alert. He now has very little spiritual power in his body, and he has only opened a few holes, so he will not be the opponent of this strange snake at all. The different snake was a little lazy, and looked at him sideways, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. Xu Ziqing was startled again, this snake seemed to be a little wise, and it really is a thing in the secret realm, and it must not be underestimated.

I don't know how many tricks the snake has, but Xu Ziqing poked his fingers into his sleeves and held a red talisman. If something goes wrong, he will rush out! Confronted with the different snake for a moment, the different snake did not move. Xu Ziqing stepped back slowly, but his fingers tightened even more.

About four or five meters back, the different snake suddenly stood up and suddenly leaned forward!

Just as Xu Ziqing was about to cast the red talisman, he saw that the strange snake had stopped moving, and the snake's mouth was still wide open, revealing four extremely long hooked teeth inside.

"Second brother, what do you think of my immobilization technique?" He heard a young man's voice clear, "It's a spotted snake, watch me catch and dig out its inner elixir for my second brother to make medicine!"

Another voice was a little mature, with doting: "The fifth brother's immobilization technique is already eight-pointed. This spotted snake has about a hundred years of Taoism. This is a great gift."

Xu Ziqing was shocked for a while, looked up and saw two people coming together. One of them was young in appearance, and the other was tall and slender, both with raw faces.

Just as he was about to thank him, he saw the young man wave his hand impatiently: "Why are you still keeping it? My brother is going to kill the snake and cut the pill. Your spiritual power is weak, so don't leave quickly!"

Xu Ziqing knew in his heart that these two people saved his life, even if it was not intentional, he also benefited. Although this young man's words are not pleasant, but they are not related to him, and when he just hunted the monsters to get the trophies, it is inappropriate for him to stay here seriously. He bowed slightly, thanked him, and immediately turned to leave.

It's just that after this incident, Xu Ziqing was even more cautious about this secret realm, and he became more and more careful with every move.

Chapter 14 Entering the Snake Cave by mistake

Walking carefully all the way, Xu Ziqing can be said to be trembling. He has only practiced for less than a year, and his cultivation is only one level of qi refining, but the spotted snake has a hundred years of Taoism.

This can't blame Xu Ziqing for being uneasy. He died at the age of 18 in his previous life. He was trapped in a hospital room all his life. He has only passed thirteen years in this life. . Even if it is because of his age that he appears to be more stable than his peers, he will not get anywhere. The demon snake from before,

It was something he had never seen before, how could he not be afraid? But the two cultivators he met later, judging by their age, were not much older than him, and they were only able to kill the demon snake in the palm of their hand! From this point of view, the monster snake, which was fierce to him, was quite ordinary in the eyes of ordinary monks.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, his strength is weak, and in this secret realm, even the monster snake can easily deal with it.

With a sigh, now that he has been separated from Manager He, it is useless to think too much, so he should walk slowly and avoid some people.

So Xu Ziqing just looked for the place where the woods were sparse and the grass was not deep, and a red talisman was buckled in his hand, which had the effect of restraining his breath. It's just that the duration is too short, it can only last for two hours. He hasn't encountered a major disaster yet, so he will take precautions first. If he encounters any major danger that threatens his life, he can immediately sacrifice it and escape a small life.

After hiding for a while, Xu Ziqing encountered new troubles.

With a mere qi cultivation base, he still can't fast, and after walking for so long, even if he is lucky enough to not meet the demon again, he is still hungry.

Pressing on the already aching lower abdomen, Xu Ziqing gave a wry smile, ready to find something to eat.

Fortunately, there is a lot of spiritual energy in this secret realm, and many plants have been born. Although not all of them are spiritual things, but all fruits and the like are born large and full, with bright colors. Xu Ziqing only needs to check whether there is any danger around, and then he can take it off and use it.

Just in front of the grass, dotted with many thumb-sized strips of fruit, Xu Ziqing walked over quickly, first used a ball of spiritual power to test it, and when he saw that there was no vision, he walked slowly over.

When he got to the edge of the grass, he waited for a while, and then carefully rolled down a fruit with his spiritual power and scratched it on the ground. Suddenly there was a faint fruity fragrance, which was quite familiar.

Xu Ziqing thought back carefully, and when the inspirational light moved, he carefully observed the leaves and roots of the plant, and then remembered that it was recorded in the "Spiritual Sketch Book", which turned out to be coral grass.

According to records, coral grass is only a very common spiritual grass, and the amount of spiritual energy is also very weak. In the secular world, it can be regarded as a good medicine that can quickly stop bleeding, but in the eyes of monks, it is very useless. The "Spiritual Sketch Book" was originally included because it does contain aura, and there is no redundant introduction.

For Xu Ziqing at this time, this coral grass is still useful. The fruit it produces is sweet and non-toxic, and it is not as good as some spiritual fruit to increase cultivation, but it is not harmful to use it to satisfy hunger.

Since there was no danger, Xu Ziqing immediately started, picked all the fruits, and pocketed them with his clothes. Then sat on the ground and started eating very quickly. Due to the urgency of time, Xu Ziqing just rubbed the skin with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Anyway, there was little dust in the secret realm, so it was not in the way.

After eating all the fruit in a short time, the hungry stomach felt a little full. Xu Ziqing clapped his hands, stood up and continued to walk forward.

According to the statement before entering, the secret realm was opened for three days. During these three days, the monks got as many benefits as possible, and when the time came, the secret realm would pop out all the people and close the secret realm.

This can be considered beneficial to Xu Ziqing, how difficult it is for him to be safe and wait with the rest of the people! But if you try to hide in the secret realm for a few days and wait for the secret realm to close, it is much easier.

Thinking like this, Xu Ziqing thought about finding a mountain to hide, but there are countless murderous intentions hidden in this secret realm, and I don't know where the demons live. There must be a lot of lurking in the deep mountains and clear waters, so be cautious.

Thinking about it, Xu Ziqing just thought it was a solo hike, so he found a mountain that didn't seem very steep and walked there. I also saw some wild fruits that could satisfy my hunger. Naturally, I picked a lot of them and wrapped them with the firm leaves I found. I really didn’t dare to delay.

It's just that things don't always go as planned, just when Xu Ziqing climbed the peak to look for dòngxué, he encountered a tiger rabbit the size of a calf!

This tiger rabbit has the word "king" on its head, with tabby all over its body and sharp teeth in its mouth. Although its body is fat, it also has the agility of a hare to jump. It seemed to be a man-eating wild shòu, and when it saw Xu Ziqing coming up the mountain, it rushed over and took him as prey.

Xu Ziqing did not expect the rabbits in this secret realm to be so terrifying. When he was dodging in a panic, his sleeves and trouser legs were torn by the tiger's rabbit's sharp claws, almost rubbing his skin. In desperation, he had no choice but to take a red talisman, which was the flaming talisman.

I saw the red talisman floating in the air, and the next moment, a group of crimson flames rushed out, hitting the tiger and rabbit! Tiger Rabbit was startled and jumped up immediately, but was caught by the flames, the flames burst open, "Crack!" There was an explosion!
