In the secret realm, it was like being in a paradise, and all the troubles outside had nothing to do with them.
After leaving the cave entrance, Qiuqiu's originally cheerful mood dropped again when she saw the sky full of snow and clouds and mist outside the cave.
The two people drilled out of the rabbit hole one after another. Qiuqiu patted the slush on her body and asked, "Do you want to drill from here next time?"
It's too troublesome and time-consuming.
Shi'er returned to his original shape, shook his head, and was about to say something, but stopped and turned his head to look back.
Qiuqiu turned around and saw Jingyuan standing at the gate of the courtyard. A thin layer of snow had fallen on her head and shoulders, and there was even a layer of white frost on her eyebrows. She didn't know how long she had been standing in the snow.
.
"Senior Brother Jingyuan?" Qiuqiu was very surprised: "Why are you here?"
"I went to Elder Huang's place, and I heard from Jinglu that you had returned to Lotus Peak, so I came over to see you - where have you been? Who is this?"
Qiuqiu felt a little guilty. Although he didn't do anything bad, the frost on Jingyuan's body and his overly indifferent attitude now made Qiuqiu feel that he had guessed something?
Xiaolong's matter is her and Shi'er's secret, and it must not be leaked to a third person.
Qiuqiu could only make an introduction first: "This is my old friend Shi'er, who came up the mountain with the seniors of Wulou Sect this time. This is Senior Brother Jingyue, the eldest disciple of Uncle Yu Shui."
The two people bowed to each other from a distance. One looked very calm, while the other was so calm that his face was paralyzed. He was simply arrogant.
This atmosphere is really unharmonious.
Shi'er won't say it anymore, this guy has always been like this. But Senior Brother Jingyuan is obviously a very good dancer. He is responsible for most of the affairs of Lotus Peak, including the external entertainment. Why is it happening now?
Why is his face so ugly? Where is his long sleeves? Where is his smoothness? Where is his thoroughness? Have they all been blown away by the northwest wind?
Qiuqiu looked left and right, but neither of them had any intention of breaking the deadlock. Qiuqiu had no choice but to clear her throat and speak first: "Senior brother, why did you come to see me?"
Jingyuan glanced at Shi'er again and showed a very gentle smile to Qiuqiu: "Master is also very worried about you. Something happened at Elder Huang's place last night. I'm afraid you heard the news too, right?"
Qiuqiu nodded.
Not only did she hear it, she also saw it with her own eyes.
"I went over to find you, and I heard from Jinglu that you had returned to Lotus Peak. Master told me to give you these two bottles of pills, and you should take two pills every day. This bottle is Qi-Regulating Pill, and this bottle is Peiyuan Pill.
You have been through a lot these days and have been injured. It is inevitable that your foundation will be damaged, and these two elixirs will be good for you."
Qiuqiu took the medicine and said, "Senior brother, I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip for me. Thank you to Uncle Yushui for your kindness."
Jingyuan glanced at Shi'er seemingly casually and asked Qiuqiu: "What did you do just now?"
"Senior brother, you also know that I have raised rabbits. I was not worried just now because it was too cold and the mountain was not peaceful, so I went down to take a look at them and settle down."
This is not a lie, she indeed settled Dabai and Erbai's family just now.
Of course, if Jingyuan had been here for a long time, he might not be able to hide this from him. How could it take so long to settle down a rabbit?
Do you believe in Jingyuan?
He was not a sincere fool, so of course he couldn't be deceived by these words. But of course he would not challenge her face to face. He only said: "Junior sister, please come with me to see Master."
He completely regarded Shi'er as nothing and didn't ask him at all.
But Qiuqiu has no intention of following him at the moment. Master Yushui made it clear. He doesn't really care about her, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about.
If Qiuqiu still wanted to stay in Xiuyuan Mountain, she would have to give her face to Master Yushui. But she was planning to leave with Shier to find her master, so there was no need to force herself to see people she didn't want to see. Both of them wanted to
It's all hypocritical, pretending to be uncomfortable.
"No, senior brother, Shi'er and I still have something to do. I will go to see my senior brother another day and ask him for advice."
Since Jingyuan wants to be a gentle and generous senior brother, of course he can't force Qiuqiu. He glanced at Shier and saw that two real people came to Wulou Mountain yesterday, and indeed they brought a few disciples. But Jingyuan didn't know that Qiuqiu
How could Qiu know people from Wulou Mountain?
She said that she had known each other before, but it was probably because she had known each other before when Master Yuxia was still alive.
Although it was the first time for Jingyuan to see him, she didn't know why but she didn't like this Shi'er.
"Then I'll go back first. You have to be more careful when you are alone. If you have any difficulties, don't hold it by yourself. Go to Master or come to me. It's the same."
I still have some trust in Jingyuan and Qiuqiu, but I no longer have any good impressions of old foxes like Yu Shuizhen.
"Okay, I remember senior brother."
Qiuqiu walked him to the door, walked a few dozen steps quietly, and couldn't help but look back.
Qiuqiu was standing by the door talking to the young man named Shier. Shier took Qiuqiu's hand, and the two of them entered the yard, and the door was closed.
Qiuqiu didn't care what Jingyuan was thinking, she was thinking about another thing now.
She didn't think much about what happened last night. Now that she thought about it, she realized something was wrong.
Xiuyuan Mountain is a large sect that has been established for more than 2,000 years. The mountain-protecting formation is definitely not a good-looking one. Even if there are no traces of monsters in the world for hundreds of years, if there are any small loopholes in the mountain-protecting formation, the monsters will not be protected.
That leaves too many opportunities to take advantage of.
Otherwise, why would the Heart Eater take the risk of possessing Jing Fei and come up the mountain?
Since it is impossible for monsters to pass through the mountain-protecting formation, how did those monsters appear when the Earth Fire Formation was activated last night?
Is there something wrong with the mountain-protecting formation? Or...is there something else going on?
Shi'er was positive about Xiuyuan Mountain's mountain-protecting formation: "There should be no problem with the formation."
"Then..." An idea came to Qiuqiu's mind.
Is there a ghost inside the mountain?
Qiuqiu's heart couldn't help but tighten.
Although external enemies are scary, the inner ghosts hiding evil intentions lurking around us are even more terrifying.
However, although this matter is urgent, it is not something Qiuqiu can worry about. She is more concerned about what Shi'er said about how to enter the secret realm.
Qiuqiu only knows that one way, can Shi'er think of another way?
This was the first time Qiuqiu came back since she left last time. Of course, no one had cleaned up the room. Shelves were overturned, tables were tilted, and there were broken furnishings on the ground.
Qiuqiu touched her nose and said, "Sit down first while I clean up this place."
Shi'er glanced at her.
Although he didn't make a sound, Qiuqiu could understand the meaning in his eyes.
She could see the coldness and anger in Qiuqiu's eyes.
"It's okay, I don't care about this." Qiuqiu didn't feel that she had been greatly wronged.
"Are you still injured?"
"It's already fine." Qiuqiu changed his words: "Because of this, I got a blessing in disguise. I broke through the ninth mental method and successfully built the foundation."
Shi'er held her hand. Qiuqiu had spoken very confidently just now, but her voice became softer and quieter.
At that time, she also had resentments and grievances.
But at that time, how could I have the leisure to complain and feel wronged?
Without relatives around, who can you complain to?
"Let me see how you are hurt."
"It's really getting better."
But even though she said that, Qiuqiu didn't resist much and rolled up her sleeves.
Although the arm was broken at the time, there was no skin trauma, and of course there was no scab left.
Shi'er's fingertips accurately pointed at the place where her arm had been injured: "Is it here?"
His fingertips were cold, but Qiuqiu felt as if the place where he was touched had been burned.
"Well, the injury wasn't serious at the time."
Shi'er's palm pressed there and rubbed her arm slightly.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Qiuqiu felt a little awkward and put down her sleeves: "By the way. You just said there is a way, what is it?"
"I'll think about it again. You should pack your things in the next two days and don't leave behind anything you need to take."
Qiuqiu thought, could it be that his method not only eliminates the need to go down the rabbit hole, but also allows one to enter the secret realm after leaving Xiuyuan Mountain?
"This secret realm is in Xiuyuan Mountain. We left Xiuyuan Mountain. We shouldn't be able to enter, right?"
"No," Shi'er said, "Don't you find it strange? The air, wind, water, and even the sky there are very different from Xiuyuan Mountain. It is not in Xiuyuan Mountain at all, so even if we leave here
, and you can go in again.”
That's really magical - well, isn't that like the portable space mentioned in the novels I read before?
It may not be as magical, but the meaning should be similar.
"Then just think about it and I'll take care of it."
The house was not so messy. Qiuqiu drove Shier into the house and tidied up the outside.
She didn't live in this house for a long time, so she didn't really have anything to clean up.
Qiuqiu lifted the shelf, swept away the broken porcelain pieces, took out the book that had been stepped on and had its threads loose, smoothed the pages, and reattached the stitching.
In fact, these are not important things, but Qiuqiu does it very seriously.
When Shi'er is around, even if the two of them don't speak, or even across a room, Qiuqiu feels particularly at ease. She does these trivial things very carefully.
After finishing all these things, Qiuqiu poured tea and brought it in.
Shi'er was flipping through a book, and Qiuqiu went over to take a look. He didn't know what words were written on it, but they were all twisted and shaped like wild vines. Qiuqiu didn't recognize any of them.
"What's this?"
"I got it by accident before. It was talking about dragons."
Qiuqiu sat down next to him: "Really? What did the superiors say? Did they say what breed our little dragon is?"
Shi'er was slightly in a trance when she heard the words "we" she said.
"It's mentioned in the book, but the dragon is still young, so we can't tell yet." Shi'er closed the book, lifted the pot, poured tea into the cup, and handed a cup to Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu held the teacup, tilted her head and smiled: "Yes, it's a little small now, so I can't see anything. By the way, doesn't the dragon have four or five claws? It seems to have only two."
"It will grow out when I get older."
Qiuqiu thought for a while: "Shall we give it a name? You see, my big white and white white have names. Give it a name and call it often, and you will naturally get closer to it over and over again." (To be continued. If you

ps: The second update is here, I’ve kept everyone waiting for a long time. I haven’t been able to sleep well outside for the past few days, and I’m in a semi-sleepwalking state every day. When I returned to my home, I relaxed. I wanted to code a chapter in the afternoon, but ended up sleeping through it.
