Xu Wan left, leaving Yuan Xiang standing there with an awkward expression.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly bowed to Lu Ye and apologized, with a sincere expression: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry. You saved me, and I lied to you."
In fact, she felt a lot of self-blame during this journey back, but for the safety of the stronghold, she had to act like this. This was related to the precepts and deeds she had received since she was a child.
If outsiders of unknown origin were brought back so casually, then this stronghold would not be able to survive stably for more than ten years.
Before Lu Ye could say anything, Ying Wuji said angrily from the side: "A mere apology is not sincere!"
"Sincerity..." Yuan Xiang understood, stood up and said: "Two senior brothers, please wait a moment."
Saying this, he turned around and ran out, not knowing what he was going to do.
Ying Wuji and Lu Ye were left sitting upright, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
He and Lu Ye were traveling together before, and they finally had some things to do. Being alone in a room like this, the relationship between the two was ultimately hostile. As the weaker party, Ying Wuji was naturally a little uncomfortable.
I secretly regretted that I had nothing to talk about sincerely and insincerely. If there was an outsider here, at least I would not be like this.
"Ahem." Ying Wuji coughed lightly and asked, "Lu Yiye, should we find out the location of the secret realm from them?"
Lu Ye could think that in order to solve the dilemma in this world, he had to start from the secret realm. Ying Wuji was not a fool, so he could naturally think of it. Although Yuan Xiang said that the portal to the secret realm was not obvious and difficult for outsiders to find, as long as he had the general direction, he could still find it.
owned.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye didn't respond to him at all, he just turned his head and looked at him indifferently.
After looking at each other for three breaths, Ying Wuji looked away.
The pressure is overwhelming!
Why are you so mean-mouthed?
Turning around, I happened to see a little head outside the stone room peering in, with a pair of eyes full of curiosity.
He was a boy who was only about seven or eight years old. His curiosity was at its peak. He had lived in this stronghold since he was born. He had never seen the sunshine outside, let alone anyone outside the stronghold.
The arrival of Lu Ye and Ying Wuji undoubtedly made him want to explore.
The boy was a little wary by nature, and he only looked outside, but had no intention of coming in.
Ying Wuji seemed to have seen a savior, waving to the boy and saying: "Child, come here!"
The boy was frightened and quickly retracted his head.
But after a while, I couldn't help but poke my head to take a look. At this moment, I didn't look away.
The main reason was that a red fruit appeared in Ying Wuji's hand at some point, and a strange fragrance wafted throughout the stone room.
"Come here!" Ying Wuji waved to the boy again, trying his best to show a harmless expression.
The boy looked at him and then at the spiritual fruit in his hand. Unable to resist the temptation, he timidly stepped out and walked into the stone room.
When he came to Ying Wuji, he stood obediently and raised his head to look up at him. Just when Ying Wuji reached out and wanted to touch his head, the boy reached out at extremely fast speed and took out the spiritual fruit in his hand.
Take it.
Turn around and run!
"This bastard!" Ying Wuji laughed angrily.
Thinking about his cultivation at the ninth level of Yunhe, no matter how unprepared he was, he would not be snatched away by a child of seven or eight years old, and would be snatched away. He just took advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, the boy interrupted him, and the pressure Lu Ye put on him just now was gone.
"No one told you that wealth should not be revealed in vain?" Lu Ye said suddenly.
Ying Wuji sneered: "What's a piece of fruit..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at the few more small figures at the door with twitching eyes, but it was other children who saw that there was something good here, and they all rushed over.
They didn't say anything, they just looked at Ying Wuji with longing eyes.
Ying Wuji suddenly realized that... a fruit that was extremely ordinary to him, even a fruit that was only used to quench his thirst, might be something extraordinary in this Wushuang Continent!
He intended to scare away these children, but the desire hidden in those young eyes made him sigh, raise his hands, and like a magic trick, several spiritual fruits appeared on his hands, and he waved them towards the children.
Yang.
"Wow..." The children were excited and rushed in one after another. Everyone took a spiritual fruit from Ying Wuji's hand and left as if they were running away.
When he rushed to the door, he happened to encounter Yuan Xiang coming back, and he hit her with all his hula.
"Slow down, slow down, what are you doing here? Don't disturb the distinguished guests!" Yuan Xiang said, straightening a few swaying children, and was about to scold them a few more times when he suddenly saw the spiritual fruit in their hands.
, the tip of the nose is also full of strange fragrance that I have never smelled before, which makes people can't help but twitch their index fingers.
While she was distracted, the children ran away and disappeared.
Yuan Xiang, however, quickly hid the things in her hands behind her back.
In my hand, I hold tightly the dried fruit that I have been treasured for an unknown amount of time but am still reluctant to eat...
In the face of such a spiritual fruit, the sincerity she used to apologize can no longer be used.
"Those spiritual fruits..." Xu Wan showed up at some point, looking at the spiritual fruits in the hands of the leaving children, he couldn't help but be moved.
Perhaps in the prosperous and prosperous times, those spiritual fruits were nothing, but in today's environment, it is difficult for monks to find spiritual fruits of that kind.
Where did these two people come from?
Such spiritual fruits were given away immediately, and they were given to children...
However, this also made Xu Wang more and more certain that these two people had no ill intentions towards their stronghold. How could people of such high status take a fancy to such a barren stronghold like theirs.
"Senior Xu." Yuan Xiang looked at Xu Wan with a red face, and then saluted a tall man next to Xu Wan: "Senior Zuishan."
Zuishan nodded and ordered: "Go and bring me some tea."
Yuan Xiang felt like she was being pardoned and left quickly.
After Yuan Xiang left, Zuishan straightened his white washed clothes and walked into the stone room. He glanced at Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, cupped his hands and said, "We are here to welcome you as distinguished guests, so don't be surprised if you are not welcomed at a distance."
.”
Lu Ye stood up and returned the salute, and Ying Wuji did the same.
Seeing that Lu Ye had no intention of speaking, Ying Wuji could only continue: "Fellow Taoist, this is serious. It's our fellow disciples who came uninvited. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
Zuishan felt a little relieved. Xu Wan briefly told him about Lu Ye and Ying Wuji. He also realized that the origins of these two people might not be simple, so he came to investigate in person.
I just happened to catch up with Ying Wuji distributing spiritual fruits to the children in the stronghold. At this moment, when I heard Ying Wuji speak like this, I immediately thought about it. These two people didn't look like they had any malicious intentions.
In particular, he has a good impression of Ying Wuji, and someone who can be so tolerant to children will naturally not be so bad.
"Please take a seat!" Zuishan extended his hand to indicate that the guests and hosts took their seats.
After a few pleasantries, Zuishan got straight to the point: "I heard that you two saved Yuan Xiang before. There is no way I can repay you for such a great kindness. If you two want anything, feel free to ask. If we can satisfy you, we will do our best."
Don’t refuse.”
As the leader of the stronghold here, Zuishan naturally wanted to understand the purpose of these two guests. He said that they met by chance and rescued Yuan Xiang, but then escorted Yuan Xiang all the way back to the stronghold. Obviously, he had his own purpose.
, not just what Yu Zhen entrusted before his death.
However, he did not finish what he said. The implication was that if he made any excessive demands, he would definitely not be able to agree to them.
Ying Wuji turned to look at Lu Ye: "Senior brother, what are you talking to this fellow Taoist?"
Although he had some ideas in his mind, he did not dare to act arbitrarily. It was better to leave this matter to Lu Ye.
Zuishan looked at Lu Ye in surprise, and then realized that among the two of them, Lu Ye was the one who could make the decision.
"We want the location of the three secret realms!" Lu Ye said, concisely and concisely.
Zuishan's expression changed: "Do you want to join the secret realm?"
I was doubly surprised. These two people did not come from a secret realm, otherwise they would not have come here to ask for their position. Moreover, these two people were most likely to have been living in a small stronghold and had no understanding of the outside world.
, otherwise such a request would not be made.
Shaking his head slightly: "We may not be able to help you two with this matter. The positions of the three secret realms are never fixed, but wander in the void. They may be here today and in another place tomorrow. I don't know how to calculate.
, can’t be found at all.”
If it were really a fixed location, it would be impossible for the three secret realms to be passed down to this day, and they would have been destroyed by the zombie clan long ago.
Moreover, even if a monk comes out of the secret realm and wants to return, he must rush to a specific location at a specific time, use a specific spiritual weapon to guide him, and open a portal to enter.
There are indeed tracks and patterns to be found for the location of the secret realm, but as Zuishan said, if you don't know how to calculate, you can't find it at all.
Lu Ye and Ying Wuji were both stunned when they heard this. They never expected that the three secret realms would be so hidden.
Yuan Xiang has never mentioned this before, so even she must not be aware of it.
Before the initial change of heaven, the location of the secret realm was indeed fixed, and they all belonged to the assets of a certain top sect. The name of the secret realm was the identity of its owner.
For example, the Secret Realm of Mount Xumi is the asset of the sect, and the Secret Realm of Ziwei Taoist Palace belongs to Ziwei Taoist Palace.
But after the change in the sky, those top cultivators had a premonition that things were going to be bad, and they didn't know what mysterious magic was activated, so the three secret realms began to have no fixed location and disappear without a trace.
Other secret realms did not have this ability and could only stay where they were, so they were all captured by the zombie clan.
The only secret realm with a fixed location now is the secret realm of the Huntian Temple controlled by the Corpse Clan, which is also the Palace of the Corpse King, which was renamed by the Golden Corpse King Zisha.
Lu Ye originally wanted to find out the location of the secret realms from this stronghold, and then take Ying Wuji to find those secret realms.
Not only because we want to use the power of the secret realm to solve the crisis in this world, but we also want to join up with others.
Those who came from Kyushu don't know where they are now, but as long as they have a little understanding of the situation in Wushuang Continent, they should choose to look for the secret realm.
