Chapter 46: But on what basis?

The barrier that Xiao Mian opened for Leng Mu Shi was ultimately useless. The lightning power wrapped around the bone whip eventually exploded on the barrier outside the window.

The barrier not only blocked the bone whip attacking Leng Mu Shi, but also suddenly lit up because of this blow. Runes walked all over the inn, appearing in front of everyone like a guardian golden dragon.

Some onlookers couldn't help but gasp, "This… What a big move."

"It should be You Zi Su, the chief disciple of Tai Chu Mountain. Back then, when I first started, my master would use him to teach me a lesson all day long…"

Another person answered, but quickly shut up, because You Zi Su, who lived downstairs from Leng Mu Shi, opened the window and looked at Bu Jin and Ni Han Yan, who were fighting.

"Fight further away," You Zi Su's dead face was as white as a ghost in the night and lightning.

"If you hurt my disciples, I will never let you go."

He really didn't make sense at all, let alone show mercy.

Ni Han Yan, who was slapped to the ground by Bu Jin's palm, thought that You Zi Su's words could ease the situation, but she laughed bitterly after hearing his words. Why was this Tai Chu Sect even more difficult to deal with than a Buddhist cultivator?!

"Sorry, I couldn't catch the bone whip," Ni Han Yan supported her arm and turned her head to look at You Zi Su, apologizing, "But fellow Daoist, this formation is really powerful…"

You Zi Su gave her a cold look, didn't even move his lips, looked at Bu Jin again, and then closed the window with a "bang".

As he closed the window, the runes on the formation gradually disappeared and disappeared, but all the monks watching the excitement knew that the inn was completely protected by the formation, and no one could touch it.

Such a big move to protect the calf on the spot, and such an unreasonable way of responding, everyone just sighed and didn't find it strange.

After all, You Zi Su has always been like this, he doesn't know what flexibility is, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the nickname of a living dead.

By this time, Bu Jin and Ni Han Yan naturally couldn't fight anymore.

Bu Jin put away the Qi Thunder Array and looked down at the new Buddhist disciple who was holding his leg and begging him not to fight. He lowered his head and recited the Buddha's name silently, and then said, "The worldly heart is not dead, and the Zen heart is difficult to calm down. My True Martial Temple and you are ultimately destined to be together. Let's return to secular life…"

Bu Jin's voice was that of a young man, but when he opened his mouth, he had a deep bass for some reason, and every word hit the little monk's heart like a mountain bell.

"No! Senior brother, senior brother…"

He cried and grabbed the corner of Bu Jin's robe, and he clearly grabbed his gauze robe, but for some reason, the corner of the gauze robe that was clenched in his hand turned into a rune and quickly flowed away from his palm, like the way he couldn't grasp.

He knelt on the ground in disheveled clothes, watched Bu Jin return to the inn where he lived with the other disciples, stood up blankly, but didn't know where to go.

He fled from famine and entered Buddhism by accident. The master also said that he was enlightened, so he named him Liao Chen, but now… Buddhism doesn't accept him, where can he go?

Liao Chen looked around, and the disciples of the various sects who were watching the excitement saw that Bu Jin had stopped, they all felt bored, closed the windows, and some were still pointing at him and talking about something.

He entered Buddhism but couldn't stand the charm of the Huan Xi Sect, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to die on the spot.

He wandered around in place like a ghost, and then he saw the lake not far away, hidden in the night, and walked slowly over.

No one noticed what he was trying to do, Ni Han Yan, who was covering her wound and carrying a bone whip towards the house, saw the little monk who couldn't think about it, and wrapped the bone whip around his waist before he jumped down.

"Why are you doing this?!"

"Let me die, the sect doesn't want me, I…" Liao Chen cried very uselessly, "Why am I still alive…"

"It's not a big deal that Buddhism doesn't accept you," Ni Han Yan chuckled, "Buddha doesn't accept you, this world accepts you, why don't you come to my Huan Xi Sect?"

She said nonchalantly: "Since there is no way to get rid of the dust, then you might as well roll in the red dust, and you can still live a good life. There are endless ways in this world, who can say that Buddhism is the only right way, look at the Shadow Sect next door to Buddhism, what they do is to kill people in the world, and there are not many powerful people?"

Ni Han Yan said: "What does it matter what the world thinks? How can you stay in Buddhism if your heart is in the red dust?"

The illusion of the Huan Xi Sect cannot confuse those who have lost their love.

Liao Chen squatted by the lake, looked up at the dawn in the sky, and suddenly realized.

Yes, look at the people in this world who are struggling to survive, the wicked may be respected Confucian scholars, and the good may just be insignificant little people.

The warm sun of the morning glow shone on his body, Liao Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, and the sound of Sanskrit sounds rang in his mind, and he was actually promoted on the spot.

Ni Han Yan's eyes flashed with astonishment. Seeing that Liao Chen began to recite sutras, she felt that he was hopeless. She shook her head and was about to leave when she heard him say, "I will join the Huan Xi Sect."

So amidst the discussions of some people, he followed Ni Han Yan into the Huan Xi Sect. Before entering the Demon Race's trial in the secret realm, he changed to a sect that seemed to run counter to his Dao.

But he found the way in his heart.

Is it really cultivating Buddhism to truly get rid of the dust and get rid of human desires?

If you have compassion and compassion in your heart, and do good deeds, how can it be anywhere?

The last corner of the morning sun finally rose when Liao Chen stepped into the inn where the Huan Xi Sect lived. The sky was completely bright, and the monks began to prepare to enter the Demon Race's secret realm.

There are three sects that brought new disciples this time, namely Huan Xi Sect, Tai Chu Sect, and True Martial Temple.

There is also the Shadow Sect in the inn not far from the True Martial Temple.

It's just that the Shadow Sect is a high-level disciple experience. They are different from the other three sects. The Shadow Sect is the most worldly, even more than the Buddhist sect, especially those who enter the royal family and nobles, so it is the richest of all sects.

The inn they stayed in was also the best. The high-level disciples of the Shadow Sect had already entered the Demon Race's secret realm for several days, and only a few remained outside.

The Demon Race's secret realm is very large, and there are countless monsters and beasts inside, including puppets made by various sects. There are also formations that divide it into different training grounds for high, middle and low-level disciples.

The Shadow Sect went to the high-level, and Leng Mu Shi and the new disciples of the other three sects naturally went to the low-level training ground.

After yesterday's incident, the Huan Xi Sect and the True Martial Temple were even more incompatible, and the disciples led by Bu Jin saw Liao Chen, who couldn't stand the temptation last night, actually in the team of the Huan Xi Sect, and they all glared at the disciples of the Huan Xi Sect.

Liao Chen, on the other hand, had completely figured it out after what happened last night. His face was as usual, and the cassock on his body turned into red gauze, completely submerged in the crowd of disciples of the Huan Xi Sect. If it wasn't for the bald head that was really eye-catching, it would be no exaggeration to say that there was no sense of disobedience.

Leng Mu Shi also thought this incident was quite novel, and couldn't help but take a few more glances, but she didn't find anything absurd about this kind of thing.

After all, people who have never been in the world do not know how many things in this world can make people bow their heads. The situation makes people and harms people. From the Buddhist sect to the Huan Xi Sect, it is nothing more than from the Buddhist hall to the red dust. If you can get the Great Way, you can't say which is good or bad.

She looked at the Huan Xi Sect again, just looking at the novelty. Xiao Mian stood beside her, waiting for You Zi Su and the other three leaders to open the formation, but felt very uncomfortable.

Do you like that kind of enchanting looks that much?

Seeing that Leng Mu Shi was staring at the male cultivator of the Huan Xi Sect yesterday, Xiao Mian suddenly felt as if a jar of old vinegar had been knocked over in his heart, and the choking made his nose sore.

But he didn't know, what Leng Mu Shi was looking at was the dead air on the male cultivator of the Huan Xi Sect.

Both vitality and dead energy have colors, although they are very light, Leng Mu Shi has been able to see it since she entered the alchemy path.

She asked her master and brother, and they could see it too.

People who are full of vitality are flushed and always look extra bright; people who are surrounded by dead energy are different, no matter how brightly they are dressed, they can't hide the gloom between their brows, and the gloomy aura that surrounds them. Seriously, like the male cultivator of the Huan Xi Sect, it is about to turn into tangible black.

However, life and death are also commonplace, especially in this world of self-cultivation.

Leng Mu Shi quickly looked away. At this time, the formation had already opened, and they entered one after another. After the formation was closed, the three sects walked in three directions, each not interfering with the other.

After walking for a while, You Zi Su stood still and said, "This experience is just for you to practice your skills and gain knowledge. If you are able to do it with ease, remember not to kill intentionally."

You Zi Su said: "The danger in the low-level formation is not high, but there are groups of monsters and beasts, so it is not advisable to walk alone. You can find your good disciples to act together. In this secret realm, there are many spiritual plants. If you know it, you can also take it back and give it to Fang Cao Dian for them to make medicine."

"If you encounter a fatal danger, remember not to fight hard, find a chance to escape or cooperate with others, pinch a small section of the binding belt to sense each other, remember."

After You Zi Su finished speaking in a flat voice, the disciples responded, and then they each found their good disciples to act together. Unlike the late autumn and early winter outside, when everything began to wither, it was still midsummer in this secret realm, and it was lush everywhere.

Not long after the disciples entered, it began to get hot and they changed their robes, and Leng Mu Shi was no exception.

She found a cave, changed into cooler clothes, and didn't encounter any dangerous monsters and beasts on the way. Instead, she found a jumping mouse that jumped up to a tree. The demonic energy on her body was comparable to that of the demonic spiders in Cang Sheng Yuan. It was of no medicinal value, so she didn't catch it.

When she came out after changing her clothes, Xiao Mian was standing at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Leng Mu Shi. Leng Mu Shi squinted at him in the light, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Xiao, you can find something interesting to do by yourself. I think it's very safe in this secret realm, so you don't have to follow me."

You Zi Su didn't know where to stay.

Leng Tian Yin originally wanted to pull Leng Mu Shi, but Leng Mu Shi couldn't run around with them. Just now, she saw several female cultivators chasing a three-horned monster. The monster was born light green, and when they were chased by them, they were so frightened that the green color on their bodies faded, and they all turned white. I don't know who trained whom.

Leng Mu Shi planned to go to the nearby dense forest to find some spiritual plants that could be used as medicine, and after nightfall, he would try to refine the pills that Yue Zhong Danxiu could refine. They need to stay in this secret realm for seven days before they can go out, otherwise the formation will not open.

In broad daylight, perhaps most of the monsters and beasts are hiding. This secret realm is simply a paradise for them to play. The laughter of female cultivators can be heard everywhere.

Leng Mu Shi covered the sun with her hand. She saw that Xiao Mian was silent, obviously a little depressed, but she pretended to be peaceful and pretended that nothing happened, and refused to leave her half a step. She couldn't help but sighed softly.

"Law, when will you teach me to suppress other spiritual roots?" Leng Mu Shi walked towards the dense forest and asked in a low voice.

--When you finish the plot, I will teach you. The law said in her sea of ​​consciousness.

--The cliff is at the end of the dense forest ahead, and the fifth day is a good time to jump off.

Leng Mu Shi didn't say anything, she quickened her pace and ran towards the dense forest. When she turned around, Xiao Mian was not far from her, looking down at the flowers and plants on the ground.

Little tail.

Leng Mu Shi muttered in her heart.

She quickly concentrated on searching for the spiritual plants in this forest, to be honest, there was nothing unusual.

Xiao Mian found two small mushrooms and handed them to Leng Mu Shi.

Leng Mu Shi: "…Do you like mushrooms so much?"

"No…" Xiao Mian didn't look at Leng Mu Shi, probably still thinking about how he opened the barrier for Leng Mu Shi this morning, but it didn't work, but it seemed like he took the opportunity to hug someone. He was teased by Leng Mu Shi for this, and he was embarrassed.

"This is called dragon tendon mushroom, it is very tenacious, and it can be pulled very long, you try…"

After Xiao Mian finished speaking, he looked at Leng Mu Shi nervously, like a puppy who racked his brains and tried his best to make people happy, rolling around, and looking at you with wet eyes.

To be honest, Leng Mu Shi was holding two mushrooms in her hand, and her heart was so itchy that she wanted to reach out and scratch it.

Before the window paper was pierced, Leng Mu Shi didn't pay much attention to it. Now that Xiao Mian suddenly stopped hiding, Leng Mu Shi couldn't stand it a bit.

She was already used to his closeness and care without realizing it. Now that she is like this, she doesn't know how to deal with it.

If she threw away the mushrooms, let Xiao Mian go, and ignored him from now on, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return, but it will be clean and neat… everything can be on the right track.

But on what basis?

She didn't eat it, and now she's half eaten, and the law still has to force her to spit it out.

Leng Mu Shi pulled off the cap of the mushroom in her hand, and it really stretched out, very tough, and it didn't break after pulling it in her hand several times.

Xiao Mian stared at her, Leng Mu Shi thought for a moment, then raised her head, looked at Xiao Mian, and said with a smile, "It's really fun."

Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression around him dissipated a lot. He didn't dare to say or do anything more, he just wanted to go back to the way it was before.

Xiao Mian couldn't accept being so alienated from Leng Mu Shi, as for what to do in the future… Let's think about it when we go out.

He stretched out his hand tentatively, trying to pick off a small piece of leaf that was scraping on Leng Mu Shi's head.

Leng Mu Shi stood still, stared at Xiao Mian's pursed lips, then lowered her head towards him, "Is there something on my head? Is it a bug?"

"No, it's a broken leaf." Xiao Mian boldly straightened her hair.

Seeing that Leng Mu Shi didn't resist, he took a deep breath and showed a slight smile where Leng Mu Shi couldn't see.

Leng Mu Shi lowered her head and didn't even look at his expression, she just felt that he was giving off a sweet smell.

Just let him touch it, are you so happy?

She was about to raise her head to take a look at Xiao Mian's expression when she suddenly heard a "quack" bird call, and then the good weather was suddenly covered with darkness.

The "quack" calls became more and more sharp and dense, and the entire sky was darkened. Leng Mu Shi and Xiao Mian looked up at the same time, and saw a group of birds with demonic energy flying in the sky.

The flock of birds flew along the gaps in the forest, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance. It seemed that they were still accumulating continuously, like dark clouds gathering in groups before the storm came.

"What is this?" Leng Mu Shi had seen a lot of monsters and beasts, and she had also seen some in books, but she had never seen such a thing.

Xiao Mian had never seen it before, he shook his head and said, "There are too many, let's find a place to hide first."

While speaking, countless birds swooped down from the sky and pecked at the two of them fiercely.

Fortunately, the canopy of the forest was lush and green, blocking a lot. Xiao Mian hurriedly opened the barrier, pressed Leng Mu Shi's head to his heart, and quickly took her and ran outside.

The black demonic birds were like a black army coming from the sky and the earth, instantly engulfing all the places within sight in the secret realm.

When Leng Mu Shi was half-held by Xiao Mian and ran towards the cave, she heard a scream and saw a disciple being wrapped in demonic birds, rolling continuously on the ground.

The two of them rushed towards there immediately, helped to drive away the demonic birds, and then included her in the barrier.

The man stood up supporting a sharp knife and said thank you to Leng Mu Shi and Xiao Mian. Leng Mu Shi saw that her face, body, and even the corners of her eyes were pecked open by the sharp beaks of the demonic birds. The wounds were not big, but they were all bleeding, which was quite penetrating, like a blood gourd.

"Sun Wu Fang?" Leng Mu Shi recognized her from the knife in her hand and her still recognizable face.

There were hundreds of disciples who practiced together, Leng Mu Shi seldom went out all the year round, and she didn't know many of them, but she knew this Sun Wu Fang. When she first started, she made Leng Mu Shi envious. Later, when the disciples first tested, Leng Mu Shi's opponent in the lottery was also her, but she didn't fight that time.

Sun Wu Fang was stunned for a moment, perhaps she didn't expect Leng Mu Shi to know her, but she quickly said, "I know where Leng Tian Yin and the others are, in the cave not far ahead!"

In the time it took to speak, countless demonic birds had already slammed into the barrier above them. Fortunately, Xiao Mian had abundant spiritual power, and the attack power of these demonic birds was not too strong, so the three of them followed Sun Wu Fang said, towards a cave not far away.

On the way, they met several disciples who were holding up the barrier and gathered towards the cave. The demonic birds outside were circling and screaming, more and more densely packed, to the point where they completely covered the sky like night.

Many disciples had already gathered in the cave. After Leng Mu Shi and the others entered, they saw that many people were injured, and Sun Wu Fang was still light.

A barrier was set up at the entrance of the cave, and the demonic birds couldn't get in for a while.

Leng Mu Shi finally saw the appearance of these demonic birds. They had sharp beaks like needles, and their wings were not pure black, but black and blue. Because they carried demonic energy, they looked like black birds. The body size is the size of an adult man's two palms, with a pair of red eyes, and sharp claws like a scimitar.

The people in the cave were whispering, Leng Mu Shi was pulled in by Xiao Mian, Leng Tian Yin rushed over and hugged her, Leng Tian Yin hadn't pounced on Leng Mu Shi for a long time, Leng Mu Shi was still a little uncomfortable.

"It's good that sister is fine!"

There was actually a bright red bloodstain on Leng Tian Yin's plain white face, obviously scratched by the demonic bird.

After Leng Mu Shi saw it, she directly took out a pill from the storage bag and stuffed it to her secretly. This thing is her master's evolved version of the Rejuvenation Pill, and it is called the Small Rejuvenation Pill just like the evolved version of the Rejuvenation Pill. Leng Mu Shi was too lazy to name it, so she called it the Small Rejuvenation Pill.

But there are not many, only two, Leng Mu Shi doesn't usually bring this thing with her, she has to keep one just in case, so she can only give Leng Tian Yin one, and whispered in her ear: "No one When eating, apply it on your face."

Hearing this, Leng Tian Yin's tears that she had been trying to hold back fell down, but she quickly wiped them away, she hummed, and then let go of Leng Mu Shi.

Leng Mu Shi gave the storage bag to Xiao Mian and asked him to distribute hemostatic pills to the injured disciples.

There were constant discussions, but many people complained that the demonic birds in this trial were too ferocious.

The peaceful scene like an outing before was completely broken. This is not surprising. After all, they came to practice, but this demonic bird is indeed not the kind of monster that can make them fight openly.

After taking the hemostatic pills, the injured disciples recovered a bit, and the discussions among the crowd became louder and louder. At this moment, a group of people came outside the barrier, it was You Zi Su who opened the barrier and brought them over.

And on top of their barrier, there were countless demonic birds surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The barrier was attacked and the faint light flickered endlessly, just like a bright pearl wrapped in black silk.

You Zi Su held up the barrier, the barrier of the cave opened, and when they were greeted in, countless demonic birds flew towards them, and the disciples took out their swords and weapons to kill.

When everyone came in, the cave began to be crowded, and the smell of blood permeated. You Zi Su closed the barrier and killed the last demonic bird that took the opportunity to get in with his sword energy, and then poured spiritual power into Xue Ling, The dark cave lights up with aura.

He said in a slightly panting voice: "This is the Yin rhino bird after being demonized. It carries demonic energy. The disciples who have been scratched should quickly sit cross-legged and use spiritual power to remove the demonic energy, otherwise the demonic energy will enter the body and damage the meridians."

It's more than just damage to the meridians, it may be eroded by demonic energy, and the spiritual roots will be completely destroyed.

You Zi Su just didn't say the second half, for fear of scaring these disciples, and there was no time to explain too much.

But his eyes swept over the disciples, he nodded to several high-level disciples, and said, "You guys follow me out to search for other disciples!"

Xiao Mian was among the people who were named. Leng Mu Shi looked at the countless Yin rhino birds outside, and the few disciples in the room who were scratched to pieces, and looked at Xiao Mian worriedly.

Xiao Mian met her gaze, not only was he not afraid of the situation outside, but he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

After a while, You Zi Su took the people out again, but this time they came back soon. Leng Mu Shi almost distributed all the wound medicine in her storage bag to the disciples, and they brought back the more seriously injured disciples.

Among them are Xiao Mei and Fen Lian.

After Fen Lian made a master-servant contract with Leng Mu Shi, she has always walked among the disciples in the image of a normal person, claiming that she is also from the Second Elder's courtyard, but she can no longer use her demon power at will, so she and Xiao Mei were both embarrassed.

Leng Mu Shi hurriedly distributed wound medicine to them. You Zi Su closed the barrier and then raised the Xue Ling sword with shining spiritual light, and looked at the disciples in the cave.

The cave is very large, wide, and extends to a very far place. It is still unknown how far it is. None of the disciples entered the innermost part, but it is enough for them to live in now.

"Check the familiar disciples around you to see if there are any omissions. The new disciples should quickly circulate their spiritual power to remove the demonic energy left after being scratched." You Zi Su said.

"There was a little accident," he paused, then continued under the gaze of the disciples, "The shadow cultivators in the high-level training ground besieged a five-tailed dragon for several days and nights, and the dragon suddenly advanced. He broke free from the shackles, smashed the barrier formation and escaped."

"Now the high, middle and low-level formations all have holes. The Yin rhino bird is from the middle-level training ground, and flew over along the hole."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the disciples gasped.
