Xu Rui sat cross-legged and meditated, with a long black flag placed above his head, automatic in the absence of wind.
The surrounding strands of Yin Qi are constantly being absorbed.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and the Hundred Soul Flag fell into his palm. After feeling it carefully, his face became more joyful.
It absorbed the ninth-grade high-grade ‘Yin Hun Weng’, along with the Yin Qi accumulated in it, and absorbed and refined it here for half a year.
The Hundred Soul Banner has finally accumulated enough foundation, and it only needs an opportunity to break through into a spiritual weapon.
But this opportunity is hard to find.
"It would be great if there was another hellish place like this."
Of course, this is impossible. If the underworld in the world were so easy to find, evil cultivators would have spread all over the world.
After playing with it for a while, he put away the Hundred Soul Flag and left here.
Without the ghosts, Xincheng Hotel's business has returned to normal.
However, due to the previous haunting, there were very few customers.
After leaving the hotel, we quickly came to a courtyard in the south of the city.
Seeing him coming in, Miss Hong rushed to greet him.
"What are you so happy about?"
"I've almost refined the Yin Qi underground in the hotel, so it won't cause any trouble anymore." Xu Rui said with a smile.
"That's good." Miss Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "My house has been returned and the ferry ticket has been bought. If we leave tomorrow, we will arrive in Yichang in three days."
"Then let's leave tomorrow. We've been delayed long enough."
The red girl nodded.
"Then I'll go pack my things."
"Um."
…
After arriving at Yichang, the boat changed to Badong, then went north from Qingjiang River all the way to the outskirts of Shennongjia.
They changed boats four times and spent more than ten days. If he hadn't brought Miss Hong with him, Xu Rui would have definitely activated the Golden Crow Dharmakaya to fly over directly.
You can get there in just one day.
However, although it took a lot of time, I never encountered anything similar to the Xincheng Hotel.
The journey was fairly peaceful.
However, when passing through Wuchang, Xu Rui secretly visited the gunpowder workshop of Hanyang Arsenal and took all the more than ten tons of explosives stored there into his pocket.
Although his strength now far exceeds that of Pingshan, there are many dangers in King Xian's tomb, and the level of danger is far greater than that of Pingshan. He must get himself something to keep under pressure.
Of course, he didn't take the explosives in vain, and left enough money behind.
He doesn't lack this stuff.
A lot of it was looted from Xiling.
Staying in Qinglin Valley is just a decoration.
…
Looking at the vast Shennongjia mountains and the jagged peaks, Xu Rui turned his head.
"How can I find your disciple? You don't know how to shout, do you?"
Rolling her eyes at him, Miss Hong took out a long wooden box from the bag he gave her, opened the metal buckle on it, and carefully took out a beige incense stick.
"When I left the Moon Gate, my master gave me this incense. He told me that as long as I was talented in martial arts, I could light this incense in the Shennong Valley outside Shennongjia and say silent blessings, and she would naturally come and accept me as a disciple.
"
Miss Hong activated the pyrotechnics she had learned, lit the incense, and sincerely prayed silently.
But after a while, no one came.
Concern leads to chaos, and a look of anxiety quickly appeared on the red girl's face.
"Master is not in seclusion, right?"
"Don't worry, maybe you are already on the way here." Xu Rui comforted.
In fact, he was not unfamiliar with the kind of incense used by Miss Hong. He had seen something similar when he was in Jinchanfang City.
It’s called the ‘Sincerity and Spiritual Incense’, which is a kind of Dharma incense. Although it is not of high quality, it is indeed indispensable for opening Dharma altars and communicating with heaven.
If monks use it to communicate with each other, anyone within a hundred miles can feel it.
Just when the red girl became more and more disappointed, the sound of tearing clothes was heard not far away. A young woman wearing a black cloak and yellow costume, with a magic sword on her back and a magic bag on her waist, walked out of the forest and saw
They came quickly after them.
Seeing her, the red girl's face instantly showed joy and she waved her hand from a distance.
"Second Senior Sister?"
He activated his walking skills and rushed forward.
"Little junior sister, is it really you?"
"Second Senior Sister, I lit the incense and haven't seen you come for so long. I thought you had moved." Honggu said happily.
"Have you moved yet? But it's a mountainous and rugged area. It will inevitably take some time to come here." The woman in yellow said as she looked up and down. "Little junior sister, are you talented in martial arts?"
"Um."
Hong Gu nodded proudly and excitedly.
"It's really amazing. After you left, Master said that if you were lucky, it would take at least twenty years to turn around. I didn't expect that in just five years, you would become a genius in martial arts and come back. When I just received your letter,
It shocked us a lot.”
While talking, Xu Rui came over.
Seeing him, Hong Gu quickly pulled him over to introduce him.
"Second Senior Sister, this is my husband-in-law Xu Rui. Thanks to him washing my essence and marrow for me, I was able to break through so quickly."
This time I returned to Moon Gate not only to get started, but also to officially get married under the witness of Master.
As for the title 'Msang Gong', Xu Rui forced her to call him this after they had been together for half a year, and she was used to it.
"Ms. sir?"
There was a hint of surprise on the face of the woman in yellow.
"Ms. sir, this is my second senior sister Yu Suchang."
"Fairy Yu."
Xu Rui cupped his fists as a gift.
"Don't dare." After returning the gift, Yu Suchang looked up and down, "Young Taoist Master Xu can cleanse and cut the marrow for my little junior sister at such a young age. It shows that he has profound skills and is not just a disciple of any sect?"
"There is no sect, no sect, just a casual cultivator."
Xu Rui smiled.
"Rogue cultivator?"
"Yes, Aunt Hong can vouch for me. When I first started practicing, my cultivation level was not as good as hers."
Hong Gu nodded and said: "Second senior sister, my husband is indeed a casual cultivator, but he has extremely high qualifications. He has made great progress since he acquired the cultivation technique, and he has only practiced for more than three years now."
Yu Suchang shrank and looked at Xu Rui with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The junior sister has been with her for many years, and she still understands her temperament and will definitely not lie.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Xu has such superior qualifications!"
Xu Ruidan smiled and said nothing more.
"Little Junior Sister, Master is very happy to know that you are coming back. Let's go back early."
"Second Senior Sister, what about my husband...?"
"Since he is junior sister's husband, of course he is also considered a member of my Half Moon Sect and can follow him."
"Thank you, Second Senior Sister." Miss Hong said happily.
"move."
Yu Suchang was in front, guiding Xu Rui and Miss Hong towards the depths of Shennongjia.
She deliberately increased her speed, but no matter how fast she went, Xu Rui remained calm and composed, while Miss Hong became breathless.
If Xu Rui hadn't sent her mana later, she wouldn't have been able to maintain the high speed for such a long time.
Seeing that Xu Rui's depth could not be measured, Yu Suchang deliberately slowed down when she reached the back.
About two-quarters of an hour later, there was a vast dense forest all around. Except for the roar of apes and tigers, there was no trace of human beings.
Apparently we have reached the depths of Shennongjia.
Another quarter of an hour later, Yu Suchang suddenly stopped.
"Here we are, this is it."
Xu Rui took a quick look and saw that not far away was a canyon surrounded by mountains and shaped like a crescent moon.
There is a waterfall on each side of the canyon, flowing down like two silver dragons boiling down. Under the dazzling sunshine, the colorful glow blooms, which is extremely beautiful.
In the canyon is a small lake that occupies nearly half of its area. The water of the lake, which should have been as smooth as water, was stirred up by waterfalls.
The clear lake water reflects the green trees on both sides, making it appear full of vitality.
On the other side of the lake is a peach forest. Perhaps due to the spiritual species, the peach blossoms are actually blooming in midsummer.
"Moon Valley, I'm finally back."
Seeing the familiar scene, Miss Hong was excited and immediately shouted.
Yu Suchang didn't bother her either.
After a while, when the red girl calmed down a little, she smiled.
"Let's go down."
Yu Suchang walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
Hong Gu followed closely behind.
Xu Rui walked over and took a look, only to find dozens of vines growing on the steep cliff.
The two of them took advantage of the cane and quickly fell towards the bottom of the valley.
After feeling depressed, Xu Rui jumped directly.
However, he did not use the cane to gain strength, but allowed his body to fall.
The already heavy body surpassed the two women in the blink of an eye. When he was about to reach the end, he suddenly twisted his waist, and powerful power exploded instantly.
The downward trend actually stopped, and a swallow turned over and landed steadily on the ground.
Yu Suchang was so engrossed in going down to the valley that she didn't notice Xu Rui's movements. When she reached the bottom of the valley and saw that he was already here, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her pretty face.
"So fast?!"
He took a deep look at the tall man in front of him.
"My little junior sister, my husband's cultivation is far stronger than I imagined."
After the red girl hit the bottom, she ran over happily.
She was used to Xu Rui's incredible behavior, so she wasn't too surprised by his late arrival.
"Second Senior Sister, let's go see Master quickly."
"Come with me, remember to follow me, otherwise you will be in trouble if you fall into the formation."
After the red girl nodded, she still didn't forget to tell Xu Rui.
"This is my Moon Gate's gate-protecting formation. It's incredibly powerful. Don't make a mistake."
"rest assured."
While walking forward, Xu Rui focused his attention on observing the formation.
Although he is not proficient in formations, he has learned a lot of formations over the years, and his vision and knowledge are already extraordinary.
After some observation, he soon determined that this was only a ninth-grade superior formation, and it should be a trapping formation.
In addition, these peach trees in the formation are also spiritual seeds. Although they are only ninth grade, they are numerous, which shows that the Moon Gate still has some foundation.
After following Yu Suchang for a while, my eyes suddenly opened up.
Three wooden houses with finished Z-shaped structures appeared in front of them.
The one in the middle is the largest, and the two sides are slightly smaller.
They are all two-story structures.
Just then, a snow leopard as big as an ox galloped over.
Seeing it, Honggu stepped forward to greet it with a happy face.
"Baixue, I finally see you."
The snow leopard jumped into Honggu's arms and kept licking her face.
After Xu Rui confirmed that this guy was a female, he didn't pay any more attention to it.
Behind the snow leopard, a beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties with purple hair, a long dress, and a mahogany stick in her hand came over.
Behind her was a young woman wearing a red dress and a golden bow. Although her appearance was not stunning, she was extremely attractive.
