Chapter 9

Boss Cat’s reminder is really not just talking nonsense. No one wants to damage their own soul, but it doesn’t matter if someone else’s. The soul stone exchanged by this soul can not only be exchanged for safety at night, but also can be exchanged for many beneficial delicacies and spiritual fruits during the day However, some orthodox sects are too embarrassed to do it too blatantly. Under the banner of eliminating demons and defending the way, they only pick on the small sects and casual cultivators of Xuxuhai. In order to think who would be easy to attack, he broke into the door with a weapon at night.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Hua Yu raised his hand to place sound insulation around Wei Xiu, and then continued to meditate with his eyes closed.Left and right Weixiu's soul power to heal him once is enough for a life, so there is really no need to join in the fun.There were no fools outside who came to Hua Yu's gate to die, so the night was safe and sound.

Going downstairs the next day, the area of ​​the lobby has shrunk with the decrease in the number of people. Wei Xiu roughly estimated that there are still about 600 people sitting here. Except for the more than 200 people who left during the day yesterday, the rest should be dead. At night, it was exchanged for the soul stone by the murderer.

"When you come to Samsara Valley, you naturally have to go out and have a look, but unfortunately, it rains all year round in Samsara Valley. There are umbrellas for sale in the small shop. One umbrella with one hundred soul stones can be used for four hours. If you need it, you can buy it from Xiao Er. .”

"Unexpectedly, it takes four hours to make the umbrella useless. It seems that there is something mysterious in the rain. I am afraid that the main threat during the day is the rain." Wei Xiu, who is not bad at soul stones, bought dozens of umbrellas in one go: "So A small oil-paper umbrella can cover one person, and those who want to share one with several people will lose their minds again.”

Before leaving, Wei Xiu, who hadn't bigu yet, packed some food. No one could have imagined that he ate these foods that would enhance his cultivation and nourish his soul, really just to satisfy his hunger and taste delicious food.

Not everyone bought umbrellas, most of those who did not participate in the massacre last night did not dare to take out more soul stones.Some of them chose to continue watching at the inn, while the rest ventured out of the inn gate.

The drizzle in the valley was endless, and the mountain scenery was blurred in the rain.There are shadows in the distance, it seems that there are many people standing, and when everyone gathers around, what they see is a large group of lifelike stone statues, starting from the small road not far from the inn, extending towards the distance to the depths of the valley. The endless stone statue.They were arranged very scatteredly, with panic, fear, and despair in their expressions.The closer they got to the inn, the more stone statues there were, but the hundreds of meters around the inn seemed to be blocked by some barrier, preventing them from taking any further steps.

"This is?" Wei Xiu looked at these old and new stone statues, some of which were already cracked and covered with moss, while some were still very new, as if they had just been polished.

"This is probably the fate of those who have been exposed to the rain." Hua Yu pointed to a brand new stone statue not far from him: "Look at that."

"Ah, isn't this the first person who ran out yesterday?" Wei Xiu exclaimed.

"Well, all the people who left during the day turned into stone statues, and none of those who left at night are here." Hua Yu analyzed with a sullen face.

"Wow, isn't it, you can remember everyone's appearance at a glance?" Wei Xiu looked at Hua Yu adoringly: "It's amazing!"

"Cough," Hua Yu turned his face to the side: "The memory of monks is stronger than that of ordinary people, and they can do it with a little training. As the lord of Stardrop, I naturally have to recognize my subordinates clearly."

"It must have been difficult when you built the Star Drop in the Sea of ​​Illusion." Wei Xiu said with emotion.

"Let's go, it's important to find the Resurrection Fruit. I don't know which people were sent by Mu Xiao. They don't match up with the ones I know. It should be easy." Hua Yu forcibly brought the deviant topic back on track.

When everyone left the inn, they dispersed, each with their own swords, and those who used spells.A monk with a high level of cultivation is only a few breaths away from thousands of miles, but Hua Yu flew with Wei Xiu for an hour, but still did not see the boundary of the valley.Hua Yu used the most basic air defense technique to fly, but his speed was extremely fast. Wei Xiu seemed to be wrapped in a bubble, shrinking to the size of a palm.Hua Yu held the bubble in one hand and opened the umbrella in the other. Wei Xiu sat inside without affecting his speed.This is the mirage bubble of the Sea of ​​Illusion, which can be changed in size at will. As long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, it can also store living things, and it is weightless when held from the outside.

"Looking for it like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but every time the secret realm is opened, there will always be precious materials that are unique to the secret realm, such as the soul-reviving fruit, the sky-filling water, and the moon-watching stone. What." Wei Xiu said impatiently, staring at the same valley scenery.

"Don't worry, this is just the second day after entering the secret realm." Hua Yu was still flying straight forward. "We're just waiting patiently."

The two flew for a full six hours, from early morning to evening, and changed three umbrellas in the middle. Sure enough, even if the two of them share one umbrella through a special method, the speed of umbrella consumption will increase accordingly, and finally An umbrella can only sustain a person outside for four hours.

"Oh, it's getting dark, won't we be unable to return to the inn after flying so far?" As the sun set to the west, Wei Xiu remembered that the two seemed to be flying in the same direction all day long.

"No, it's almost there." Hua Yu pointed to the front.

"Ah? Where are you going?" Wei Xiu looked up, but there were still endless mountains. Suddenly, an inn appeared far away: "That's it? The Samsara Inn!"

In the blink of an eye, the inn was close, Hua Yu put down Wei Xiu: "Before I left, I left a mark near the inn. When I was flying, I felt that the mark was getting farther and farther away from me, but halfway through the flight, I found that I was far away from this mark. The distance of the imprint is getting closer and closer. I am sure that I am flying in a straight line, so it can only be the so-called valley, and the terrain is a bit unusual. The valley of reincarnation, the valley of reincarnation, flying down this circle is not a reincarnation. "

Wei Xiu was stunned, so isn't the Valley of Reincarnation a large continuous valley, but a closed sphere with continuous mountains?However, with Hua Yu's cultivation base, it barely took a whole day to complete a reincarnation, so it is impossible for most people to discover this secret. "Then... if it goes straight up, won't it fly to another ground?"

"It should be like this, but there is a strong spiritual pressure in the sky, even I can't fly too high."

Wei Xiu held an umbrella and followed Hua Yu to the inn, while thinking: We guessed the meaning of Samsara Valley, but what about the Samsara Inn?The cat boss is here guarding batches of monks who have entered the secret realm, trying every means to absorb soul power. What is the purpose of so much soul power?Why does rain during the day turn people into stone?What happened at night to make those people disappear?

"Don't be in a daze, it's getting dark." Hua Yu urged Wei Xiu to enter the inn.

The number of people today is only slightly less. Hua Yu looked over one by one, and it was the one who left the inn without an umbrella in the morning. Presumably, he has become one of the countless statues.As usual, Shu Xiaoer was selling his dishes, spiritual fruits, and rooms for overnight stay. Many customers thought of buying news, but no matter how many soul stones they offered, they were all rejected.

"Did the guests have a good time going out today? Is the Reincarnation Valley picturesque with its green hills?" Boss Mao once again appeared in the lobby with a professional smirk.

The monks present all gritted their teeth and stared at him. No matter who gave precious soul power in exchange for a limited time to hunt for treasures, but turned around for a day and saw nothing but mountains, they would not feel that the stretch of green hills is pleasant at this moment. scenery.

"We turned around during the day and wanted to see the night view. I wonder if the boss has any recommendations for purchase?" A monk asked.

"Oh, I dare not go out at night." The cat boss shook his head again and again: "It's getting dark, the guests should go to the guest room to stay quickly. Oh, by the way, some unruly guests ran outside the guest room in the middle of the night. It's dangerous, boss, I have a kind heart, and I helped you cover it up. If someone doesn't stay in his room properly today, don't rely on me if he dies."

The hearts of those who went out to kill and exchange soul stones last night were shocked. It seems that this is a reminder that this method can no longer be used.According to what Boss Mao said, there can be no more than two people in a room. During the murder yesterday, and in the corridor, the number of people exceeded this number, but there was no danger. Originally, some people were lucky today and wanted to make do with a few more people. It's okay, but the reminder from Boss Cat made them give up.

Wei Xiu and Hua Yu asked for a room as usual, Wei Xiu had been meditating since entering the door, and when he entered the room, he did not talk to Hua Yu uncharacteristically, but sat by the bed alone in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" Hua Yu couldn't help asking.

"I'm thinking about what happened last night. Those people disappeared at night, there are no more than two situations. The first one, like during the day, there is some mysterious force outside that will swallow people up, but these forces can be isolated in the inn. The second one Two, there are some dangerous things that will attack these people outside, but these things in the inn cannot enter, or the inn can block the perception of these things so that they cannot find us. But why are there more than three people in the room, Or could it be dangerous to stay in the corridor? It shows that the power of the inn is limited. Why was there no incident yesterday? Because the cat boss has a way to temporarily protect these unruly people. Why should he protect As for these people, of course, it is in his interest to have more soul stones. One day is enough to turn the weakest people into soul stones. If the other people are strong enough to take precautions, then even if these people are allowed to kill , he won’t get many soul stones, but some people will leave the inn because it’s not safe, and some people will take advantage of the fact that multiple people live together, and the gain is not worth the loss.” Wei Xiu clapped his hands suddenly: “So I want to share with the cat. The boss has another business deal."

"What does the guest want to talk about?" Boss Mao appeared in front of Wei Xiu in an instant, "The guest's analysis just now is really wonderful, indeed it is my favorite soul."

"I want to add a window in the room, the kind that can see the night view." Wei Xiu asked.

"The small shop has never done this kind of business." The cat boss stroked his beard.

"Business is negotiable, and the price is negotiable. What do you think about adding a window with a thousand soul stones?" Wei Xiu said boldly: "The boss does not agree to sell news. Like the monks who have experienced it, some kind of restriction has been imposed, and opening a window has no effect."

"Okay, as you wish. But to be honest, even if you know what happened later, it won't be of any benefit to you." The cat boss took the soul stone, raised his hand and there was an extra window on the wall beside the bed: "Just take a look, don't open the window." After saying that, he disappeared.

It was pitch black outside the window, Wei Xiu blinked: "I can't see anything."

"How about this?" Hua Yu raised his hand and wiped lightly on his eyes, Wei Xiu looked again, and the outside was as clear as day.The rolling green hills and the pattering rain have disappeared outside the window, and there is an empty silence.Suddenly, a huge golden python crawled towards it, and the red letter was in and out of its mouth dangerously. It searched left and right, as if looking for food.When they passed by the Samsara Inn, they didn't seem to notice anything, and left without looking back.Wei Xiu and Hua Yu continued to watch patiently. Huge beasts appeared one after another, with various strange shapes, such as rabbits with fangs, monsters with antlers and bull heads, birds covered in fire, and so on.They acted independently in the inn, as if the inn didn't exist at all.

Hua Yu compared his own strength: "Very strong, these monsters are all stronger than me, no wonder everyone who was outside last night disappeared."

"Better than you? Every one? If all these monsters leave the Samsara Valley, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" Wei Xiu said in surprise

Hua Yu nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, they should be ancient beasts."

"The ancient beasts, but didn't they disappear?" Wei Xiu was puzzled.

Hua Yu explained: "According to ancient books, in ancient times, the heaven and earth were full of aura, and many talented and powerful people could enter the Mahayana stage and even ascend. However, the human race is still at a disadvantage because there are many innate spirit beasts that are naturally raised. , as soon as he was born, he had a Mahayana cultivation base, and he was fond of eating people. This state continued until an immortal who controlled the laws of time and space used secret methods to re-open the passage of heaven and earth, returned to the realm of cultivation, and used the laws of time and space to cast a small world. All sealed, supplemented by the suppression of the soul tree. This secret realm of reincarnation should be that small world. As for the soul tree, the only thing that can shield the perception of alien beasts is the inn we live in. The soul tree needs to be watered by the soul In ancient times, there would be special sacrifices to enshrine this tree every hundred years. This time is also in line with the opening cycle of the secret realm. The cat boss can suck the soul of people, it should be something like tree spirits, and we should be Sacrifice."

"But the sacrifice has disappeared with the decline of ancient times. We monks are different from sacrifices. We don't offer our spirits to him voluntarily, so he can't directly ingest them, and can only obtain them through trading." Wei Xiu continued. Hua Yu said: "This makes it all clear. In order to ensure that the secrets of this small world are not leaked, the fairy probably left a restriction. Boss Cat and everyone who left the secret realm are not allowed to say anything about the secret realm. But, what happened to the rain during the day? Where did the beasts hide during the day?"

Wei Xiu's question was answered when night turned into day.There is no sun or moon in the secret realm of reincarnation, light slowly shines out from the center of the night, and the drizzle begins to fall, hitting the body of the strange beast drop by drop. into mountains.Those who had been turned into stone statues by the rain during the day also reappeared, as if they had seen it yesterday when they went out.

"It turned out to be like this." Wei Xiu, who hadn't slept all night, yawned, resting his chin on one hand and looking out the window.

"Sure enough, reincarnation not only has space but also time, a day and night is a reincarnation." Hua Yu looked at Wei Xiu's sleepy expression: "I will go to the rejuvenation fruit during the day, and you will sleep in the mirage."

"Hey, I had a lot of fun solving the puzzle. I forgot that I came here to find the Soul Resurrection Fruit. After guessing the truth for a long time, I still have no idea where the fruit is." Wei Xiu followed Hua Yu out the door with a sigh.

"Why don't you have a clue." Hua Yu raised his legs and walked out of the house.

Wei Xiu hurriedly caught up: "Do you know the whereabouts of the Resurrection Fruit?"

"I have some ideas, let's try them out."

There were still some monks sitting in groups in the lobby, all eagerly waiting for some clues that Boss Mao might reveal today, and some of them ran out anxiously to continue looking for the treasure.

"Aren't you going out for a walk today?" Boss Mao appeared as expected.

"Aside from the mountains, what's there to see? Is there no other scenery in the Samsara Valley?" A Nascent Soul cultivator in hard clothes asked. "Flowers and trees, waterfalls and springs, strange rocks and strange scenery."

"Hey, this guy has a good set of clichés. He clearly wants to ask about Lingzhi fruit, Tianshui, and moon-watching stone. I don't know if he really thinks he's just playing around." Wei Xiu covered his mouth and laughed.

"Yes." The cat boss nodded.Everyone's eyes lit up.

"In a dream." The cat boss said with a smile.

Everyone: ...It seems that he was beaten to death, but he couldn't beat him, so angry.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that." Boss Mao curled his lips unwillingly: "I said it was in the dream of these mountains. The mountains in our Samsara Valley can dream."

"How to enter this dream?" It was still the Jinxiu priest who caught the point.

"Three hundred soul stones and a dream token, you can travel freely in the dreamland of the mountains, but there will be monsters in the dreamland, and you can only leave if you defeat the monsters." Boss Cat took out a wooden sign with patterns engraved on it.

"Then what if you can't beat it?" A monk asked worriedly.

The cat boss teleported to the guest who asked the question as a prank, put the huge cat's head in front of the guest's face, bared a mouthful of fangs and said, "Of course it's a ration for monsters."

Bang!The guest was frightened and hid back, not wanting to fall to the ground with the stool.

The unscrupulous boss laughed gloatingly, and did not forget to sell: "There is no limit to the number of times the token can be used, and it only costs [-] soul stones. It's good quality and cheap."

What else can I do, come here.Everyone appointed to buy tokens.

"I'll give you a friendly reminder." The cat owner, who has made a lot of money, smiled beamingly: "Although the dream is beautiful, don't forget the time, remember to come back before dark."

Wei Xiu followed Hua Yu out of the inn, Wei Xiu asked Hua Yu in a low voice: "Do you mean the monsters you saw yesterday? Then how could you beat them?"

"Maybe they were weakened in the daytime dream. Since the people who came to the secret realm before could get the things and leave, it means that it will not be too dangerous." Hua Yu turned to Wei Xiu: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you comprehensive."

!!!

Hey, is Lord Mozun possessed by some strange thing?Such gentleness cannot be Lord Mozun.But speaking of it, Hua Yu seems to have become... more like a normal person with feelings recently.Maybe it's because you don't need to hold it too much because your subordinates aren't there?Hey, being a Demon Lord is also very hard work.

Wei Xiu blushed, letting his thoughts diverge to strange places.When he came back to his senses, he had followed Hua Yu to the top of an uninhabited mountain in a mirage bubble.It must be because I didn't sleep yesterday, and I was so sleepy just now that I had auditory hallucinations.

"Go in." Hua Yu took out the token.

"Oh, good." Wei Xiu took out his own with a slow reaction.According to the method given by the boss, the two each dripped blood on their tokens, and inserted the wooden tokens into the soil on the top of the mountain. After a while of dizziness, the scene around them changed.

"This is?" Wei Xiu looked at the surrounding scenery in amazement, the jagged mountains pierced into the sky, the waterfall fell from the sky like a galaxy, the clouds and mists were lingering, and the mountains and plains were full of unnamed exotic flowers and plants, and all kinds of strange beasts shuttled among them. .It's like a fairyland. "Is this what the cultivation world looked like in ancient times?"

"Well, roughly the same as the historical records." Hua Yu nodded.

"Wow, is this the extinct nine-leaf blue flame grass?" Wei Xiu pointed to a large piece of blue not far away.Blue flame grass is a material for alchemy. It only grows one leaf in a thousand years. The more leaves, the higher the grade. Let alone the nine-leaf blue flame grass, there are not even a few plants with two leaves in the cultivation world. "There are so many, if you bring some back to Dan Dao's brothers and uncles, they will definitely cry with joy."

"It's an illusion." Hua Yu grabbed Wei Xiu's footsteps who were about to rush over. "This is a dreamland woven together by the memories of alien beasts, which basically restores the scene of the ancient world of self-cultivation. But memories will always be memories. Whether it's these exotic flowers and plants, or this fairyland-like scenery, they have long since ceased to exist. gone."

"Ah, it's all fake." Wei Xiu woke up from the excitement: "That's right, the seniors who came out of this secret realm only brought spiritual fruit, sky-replenishing water and moon-watching stone with them. Then these are all fake , where are those things hidden?"

"What do you think of Tianshui, Moonstone, and those spiritual fruits?" Hua Yu raised his hand and took Wei Xiu into the mirage again: "Let's go, let's see where they are all hidden."

Hua Yu went directly to a nearby strange beast. When the strange beast saw Hua Yu, it immediately opened its mouth to reveal three rows of sharp teeth inside. Wei Xiu could see the corner of its mouth approaching from the corner of its mouth while hiding in the mirage. Dripping saliva.Hua Yu held the mirage bubble with his left hand, took out a gun with his right hand, and pointed the spear point directly at the strange beast.

It was the first time for Wei Xiu to see Hua Yu make a move. His spiritual power and coercion were overwhelming. A scorpion like a dragon wrapped around the body of the alien beast, seizing every gap to attack, and tore a piece of flesh from the alien beast.The strange beast became more and more manic due to the injury. He tried his best to use his fangs and sharp claws to tear apart the human being who dared to provoke him, and swallowed him into his stomach.However, Hua Yu always dodged lightly and responded with a slap.

"Roar!" The strange beast seemed to be wounded to the core, stomping its feet, the ground was shattered inch by inch.

Hua Yu stepped on the gravel and went up against his body, and made up for another heavy blow at the place he just attacked.The strange beast wailed and fell down.

"The meat, blood, and bones of this strange beast should be the so-called spiritual fruit, sky-replenishing water, and moon-watching stone." Hua Yu put the strange beast into the space, and a large blue air flow floated out of the strange beast and penetrated into it. On the token in Hua Yu's hand, Hua Yu handed the token that had sucked the soul power to Wei Xiu, and put it on his body: "Oh, this cat boss did a good job, this dead alien The beast spirit was absorbed by the token, except for the ability to take us out of the dream, most of it should have entered the stomach of the cat boss, which is much stronger than the soul power of a monk."

"This beast is much weaker than last night. Is it because its body is sealed, so it can't use its full strength in the dream?" Wei Xiu asked.

"It's about the same. It feels like the cultivation base is at the peak of Yuanying, but the defense is stronger, and the attack is weaker." Hua Yu recalled the fighting process just now, and commented.

"Perhaps each beast has different weaknesses and strengths. Yours looks rough and thick at first glance." Wei Xiu said.

Hua Yu led Wei Xiu through the dreamland for several hours, killing six strange beasts. On the way, he also met several pairs of monks who came together, but when the other party saw Hua Yu's outfit with half a silver mask, , and the aura that strangers should not enter all over his body, he quickly avoided it.Because Wei Xiu didn't sleep last night, he sat in the mirage for a while and then fell asleep. When Hua Yu was about to call Wei Xiu immediately, he held up the bubble and saw Wei Xiu sleeping sprawled in the bubble .Hua Yu couldn't help laughing: "Wei Xiu, it's time to go back."

"Ah?" Wei Xiu rubbed his sleepy eyes, watching Hua Yu, who was several times older than him, holding himself in his hands, his face was covered with confusion of "Who am I? Where am I", after a while Huicai slowly woke up: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep accidentally. Are we going back?"

"Well, it's getting dark soon." Hua Yu released Wei Xiu from the bubble.The two dripped blood on the token again, the scenery flashed, and they returned to the top of the mountain when they came.

The author has something to say:

Calvin is a really embarrassing thing.Regarding the setting of the secret realm, the stupid author held the notebook and thought hard for a long time in the middle of the night, and finally it was almost completed.
