Chapter 22: The Crucible

Yan Jue listened silently, and his heart was already half cold unconsciously.

Although she knew that the life of the heroine's fairy body was destined to be extraordinary, she still felt shocked when she

heard this kind of thing.

The chatter downstairs stopped.

Yan Jue did not hesitate and immediately returned to the second floor lightly.

As soon as I stepped into the corridor, I heard footsteps faintly coming from downstairs.

Yan Jue walked into the room, gently closed the door of the room, and closed the window again.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Yan Jue's eyes turned, he had already thought of a plan to deal with it, took out the sacrificial mustache from the monkey

demon's nest the day before yesterday from the Qiankun bag, took one in his hand, spread it out in his palm, and blew it

gently.

The sacrificial mustache fluttered on the bed and turned into a girl.

return

In the next breath, the lock of her room door was picked.

The door was slowly pushed open a crack, and the light in the hallway cast in, turning into a slender diagonal line.

Someone came in through the door.

Yan Jue hid behind the curtain, and he could vaguely see that it was a slightly chubby black shadow.

The innkeeper.

I saw the innkeeper slowly push open the door, holding an extremely sharp hook in his hand.

The light was dim, but the tip of the hook was faintly glowing!

Yan Jue's pupils suddenly constricted.

That's not a hook at all, it's ... The innkeeper's tail!

The bumpy tails were clumped after clumped, gradually swelling to the height of two people in the dark, and the tips were in

the shape of barbs, raised high in the slight darkness, trembling wildly, like the excitement of a predator before the hunt.

The innkeeper squinted slightly, and Yan Jue saw clearly that his face was weak and his hind legs were weak, and he almost

knelt on the ground.

That fat face with six eyes!

Each eye was glowing a dull yellow, and the corners of the mouth below slowly cracked to reveal an eerie smile.

The innkeeper stood motionless in the doorway, his six eyes flickering slightly, as if he was observing whether the person on

the bed was aware or not.

After finding that the person on the bed was motionless, he walked over with confidence, and the sharp hook on his tail

trembled violently in the air, and he stabbed at the girl on the bed very hard.

Yan Jue had never used the sacrificial mustache found from the monkey demon, and when he saw this, his heart was about to

jump out of his throat.

The scorpion tail behind the boss pierced towards the person on the bed, and it only felt like it was tied to cotton.

 The skin of the girl on the bed was concave violently, but there was no blood to be seen!

The boss was stunned, and viciously shook his tail to cut the girl's body open, revealing a pile of monkey fur inside.

The innkeeper shouted in panic: "Ghost... Ghost... Ghost!!

Yan Jue instantly urged the true trick and urged the ice summoning technique.

Her cultivation is low, if this inn, as the innkeeper said just now, is a huge melting pot that can limit her cultivation, then her

cultivation is obviously not restricted.

Yan Jue's full of spiritual power instantly turned into a hail rain in the sky, and the boss just wanted to turn around when he

heard the voice, and his back was pierced by countless small Xiaoice cones.

Blood splattered out, but it was a rich green.

Yan Jue summoned the ice pick and stabbed towards the scorpion spirit again.

The scorpion spirit slowly turned his head and looked at Yan Jue in disbelief.

In the dim light, the girl's face was as white as snow, and her amber phoenix eyes were narrow.

When the scorpion spirit boss saw that the amber pupils seemed to be glowing with a faint gold, he shouted hoarsely: "You

yourself are looking down!" Yes

... You are actually yes!

Yan Jue's eyes lit up.

The demon clan is very sensitive to the existence of the same kind, and she doesn't want this scorpion spirit to shout out her

identity or something at this time, so she instantly urges the ice pick in front of her.

The sharp ice pick was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and it shot at the opponent.

The scorpion spirit screamed, staggered forward and took two steps forward, falling to the ground and never getting up again.

Yan Jue paused, feeling a surge of spiritual power in his chest, and the surging spiritual power instantly spread to his limbs,

and his body felt lighter than ever.

This feeling... It's like jumping up to the ceiling with a single jump.

Yan Jue didn't have time to find anything strange, and ran out of the room directly.

Just now, I heard the shopkeeper and the Taoist priest talking, saying that this inn is a prefecture-level furnace, which has a

huge suppressive effect on the immortal body.

Yan Jue didn't know anything else, the only thing that was certain was that Qi Xianqing seemed to be being targeted by

someone and was in a very dangerous situation.

Time was pressing, and Yan Jue quickly ran to the door of Qi Xianqing's room.

Yan Jue stared at the quiet room door, slightly stunned.

She had expected a fight here, but she didn't expect the door to be closed and so quiet.

Yan Jue didn't have time to think about it, so he pushed the door and walked

in.

The room was pitch black.

But Yan Jue could still smell the dark incense, which belonged to the fragrance of the fairy body.

It may be the smell of blood surging under the skin, which others can't smell, but it's a huge temptation for the demon clan.

But at this moment, Yan Jue didn't have the heart to appreciate this taste at all, but anxiously looked for it in the room.

Qi Xianqing, have you already been arrested?

The heart beat very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, I felt the texture in front of the bed, and the visceral magnetism was very

large, and my eyes were resting

The

quilt was flat and neat, and no one seemed to have slept on it.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Yan Jue's heart instantly alarmed, and just as he wanted to turn back, his mouth was covered.

Xiangyu is full of arms.

Yan Jue's body was almost soft, and the man pressed her mouth stiffly, noShe made a little noise, and the other hand took her

from behind, and slowly stepped back behind the huge gauze tent by the window, and stopped.

The warm snort hit his ears, bringing a burst of itching and unbearable, Yan Jue can now be sure that the person behind him is

Qi Xianqing. Reluctantly turned around, met the calm dark eyes in the dark, and just wanted to speak.

Yan Jue suddenly saw something in the corner of his eyes, and his legs were completely weak. If Qi Xianqing hadn't been

holding her waist, she would have knelt down.

I don't know when a pale face appeared on the window.

It looks like a Taoist priest, with crane hair and a childish face, a bright head and eyebrows, wearing a purple dress, fairy wind

bones, a pair of slender fingers grabbing the window edge, and a pair of bulging eyes slowly looking away.

The purple-clothed Taoist priest then took out a small sword from his bosom, chanted words in his mouth, and then the sword

shot out and was nailed to the bed.

That sword was very sharp, and it didn't go into the bed a foot deep, if Qi Xianqing was sleeping on the bed at the moment, I

was afraid that it would be difficult to escape.

"Not here... the Taoist priest muttered.

Then the sword stuck in the bed suddenly lit up, and the green fluorescence flickered slightly, converging in the same

direction.

The night wind blew in through the window, slightly blowing the curtains where they were hiding.

Yan Jue looked at the green sword in horror, belatedly realizing that this might be some kind of exploration magic weapon.

It is inevitable that there will be Qi Xianqing's breath on the bed, and after the sword detects that breath, it will inform its

owner.

Then, I saw the purple-clothed Taoist priest standing on the windowsill showing a smile, taking something

out of his bag, spreading it in the palm of his hand, and blowing it gently.

A small paper figure that fell to the ground.

The paper figure touches the ground and instantly transforms into a pale woman!

The woman was dressed in a white sacrificial robe, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her lips were dotted with a

little bright rouge.

The woman's dead gray eyes circled the room, then smiled and walked towards the curtains.

Her nails glistened in the moonlight, and they were two inches long.

Yan Jue felt that the body of the person behind him was tense instantly, and although his breathing was still calm, it became

more and more hot and hot.

Suddenly, Yan Jue pressed the back of Qi Xianqing's hand and shook his head gently.

Don't draw your sword.

Qi Xianqing was stunned for a moment, the hand that was originally placed on the candle shadow loosened slightly, and he

frowned and watched Yan Jue take out a ... from his bag Hair?

The female ghost swayed step by step, and came to the curtain in an instant.

She stared at the curtain for a long time without pupils, as if she smelled something that drove her crazy.

She opened her mouth excitedly, her originally beautiful face began to shatter, her skin fell, her face was pale blue, and her

normal teeth suddenly swelled into fangs!

The slender red girl instantly turned into a jade-faced Shura.

"Roaring !!"

She lifted her white-glowing nails and grabbed them in this direction.

Suddenly, a golden hair shot out.

Then it turned into ... in mid-air A giant monkey.

The female ghost over there seemed to be startled, stopped, and her head creaked around.

I saw that the monkey was tall, standing on two feet, and looked very strange, it was wearing golden armor, wearing a purple

and gold crown, and holding a golden stick in its hand, staring at her and shouting.

Female ghost: "?

Before

she could react, the huge monkey in front of her jumped up and smashed it with a stick. The female ghost screamed and fell

to the ground.

The room fell silent in an instant, and there was only a broken paper figure lying alone on the floor.

Yan Jue quickly recited the psychic technique, the lock demon ring on his neck fell off instantly, the dragon roar and the tiger

roared in his ears, and the golden wire flew towards the window like a sword off the string.

Just now, Yan Jue eavesdropped on the conversation between the Taoist priest and the innkeeper, and knew that the identity

and status of this Taoist priest were not simple, so he kept an eye on it, and only by catching someone could he interrogate

him.

Jin Si rushed towards the window, but saw the Taoist priest laughing

strangely, jumped forward, and disappeared into the vast darkness.

Yan Jue turned around and saw Qi Xianqing frowning tightly, meditating with his eyes closed.

Yan Jue hurriedly walked over: "Are you okay?"

Qi Xianqing: "My cultivation is draining."

Qi Xianqing then put his two fingers together into a hook and slapped it towards his lower abdomen.

The huge impact hit the dantian, Qi Xianqing frowned, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yan Jue was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Qi Xianqing: "The seal cultivation can be managed for six hours."

"During these six hours, I was no different from a mortal."

Yan Jue was stunned. She knew that the heroine was ruthless, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel to herself.

That's right, if Qi Xianqing let her cultivation go unchecked, in this furnace specially refined for the immortal body, she would

be sucked dry sooner or later.

Yan Jue frowned: "If you lose cultivation, you can still make up for it, why bother abusing yourself so much."

Qi Xian said lightly: "Cultivation is very important to me.

Yan Jue had nothing to say.

Everyone has their own values, and they should be respected no matter what.

Yan Jue told Qi Xianqing the conversation between the Taoist priest and the innkeeper that he had just overheard at the

staircase: "I heard them say just now, what kind of prefecture-level furnace is this inn", which has a suppressive effect on those

who have cultivated to a high level.

Of course,

Yan Jue hid the matter of the fairy body.

Even if she and Qi Xianqing are now living and dying together, it is too dangerous to know that the other party is an immortal

body.

Yan Jue didn't say it, but Qi Xianqing could naturally guess that this time it was mostly because of her fairy body. Qi Xianqing

lowered his eyes, his eyes were slightly gloomy: "Then you came to my room just now, was it because you were worried about

me?"

Yan Jue was choked, and his face instantly turned red: "No... I was just... I'm afraid they're going to hurt you..."

"Thank you." Qi Xianqing was silent for a long time, slowly stood up, holding the fairy sword candle shadow in his hand: "It's

just that it affects you."

Yan Jue: "It's okay, we are a team, and we must solve problems together."

"And... And he didn't say that it was aimed at you, I heard that they were very angry with the female Yin Yuan, and several of

us were their targets!

Qi Xianqing raised his head and glanced at her.

Yan Jue couldn't make it up anymore, so he hurriedly diverted the topic: "Go and see Duan Luxi

, how are

they?"

Qi Xianqing was silent for a long time: "Okay." The hem of his

clothes suddenly sank, Yan Jue was stunned, and Qi Xianqing pulled the hem of his clothes.

Qi Xianqing's voice came from behind him: "It's too dark around me to see it."

Yan Jue: "Oh."

She suddenly reacted: "Be careful, there are stairs on the soles of your feet." Before he

could finish speaking, Qi Xianqing behind him stumbled and almost fell.

Yan Jue hurriedly turned around, she didn't dare to touch Qi Xianqing, she just gently held the girl's arm: "Be careful."

Qi Xianqing did not speak.

How would you react if the fairy body grabbed the hem of your clothes? She's weak now, standing behind you.

Yan Jue couldn't help but have a nosebleed just thinking about it. What's going on? Even if Qi Xianqing is sealed and

cultivated, he is still a ruthless person, and he is not the object she can protect.

"Boom !!"

Before Yan Jue could get close to Duan Luxi's room, he heard a huge explosion in the room.

Duan Luxi obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet, and was wearing a thin middle coat, disheveled, and was fighting with

the Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest is still a crane-haired childish face, his face is full of red light, and his cultivation is obviously much higher

than the Taoist priest in Qi Xianqing's room just now.

I saw the long sword in the Taoist priest's hand sweep, and there were words in his mouth, and with a "poof", Duan Luxi's

shoulder opened a long wound, and she staggered a step, and blood was dripping in an instant.

The Taoist priest smiled, raised his long sword and slashed down again, seeing that he was about to cut off Duan Luxi's head.

Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing glanced at each other, jumped over, and in a blink of an eye, they were in front of Duan Luxi, she took

out the "sacrifice beard" and spread it in the palm of her hand and blew it gently.

Qi Xianqing saw the scene in front of him clearly and frowned slightly.

The few hairs in Yan Jue's hand fell to the ground repeatedly, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into five or six lively little

monkeys.

A monkey pounced and grabbed the Taoist priest's leg, a monkey grabbed the Taoist priest's hand, and another small monkey

rode on the purple-clothed Taoist priest's neck and gouged into the Taoist priest's eyes.

The wind blew the girl's dress and hunted, and Yan Jue stood in the middle of the monkey in high spirits.

Qi Xian cleared the scene in front of him, and inexplicably felt that Yan Jue was about to pop out of his mouth, "Little ones,

give it to me!" "That's it.

took the opportunity to finally meet

Block

B for a long time

r/& gt;

Take the fart axe and scream, and glance at the Billet Encouragement, I am afraid that I will raise the giant sword.

The wooden sword roared and fell from the sky, instantly piercing the head of the Taoist priest and smashing the wooden floor

of the room to pieces.

The Taoist priest fell in a pool of blood, and suddenly turned into a ... Same as just now, broken paper figures.

Qi Xianqing walked over, squatted down and picked up the paper figure on the ground.

It was a paper figure with very rough workmanship, as if it was randomly folded from cinnabar paper.

Those little monkeys happily jumped around Yan Jue, and then disappeared into thin air.

Qi Xianqing turned his head to look at Yan Jue, and said thoughtfully: "These monkeys, are they ... Your child?

Yan Jue's face instantly turned red: "Phew! Not really.

When the

Sacrifice Mustache is blown out, it becomes what the user wants them to become.

Yan Jue didn't know why every time her sacrificial life was blown, she would turn into a little monkey.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Duan Luxi hurriedly grabbed Yan Jue's arm: "Yan Jue, what's going on?" Why did a paper man suddenly come and want to kill

me, could it be the Taoist priest's comrade this afternoon!

"And why do I feel like my spiritual power is a little sluggish... When I saw this man break in, I wanted to summon the wood

at once. Duan Luxi frowned and stroked the giant sword in his arms: "But it actually didn't listen to the call."

Yan Jue briefly explained what he had just heard, and the more Duan Luxi listened, the paler his face became.

Yan Jue asked, "How many realms of cultivation can control the Immortal Sword?"

As soon as Duan Luxi wanted to speak, he saw Qi Xianqing and said: "In the third realm, you can learn to control the fairy

sword at the early stage of enlightenment.

Yan Jue: "I have a guess.

"Just now I heard the Taoist priest say that this inn is a huge melting pot, and it has a suppressive effect on the monks who

have cultivated to a high level, could it be just for the monks above the enlightenment?

For example, if I only build the foundation realm, it doesn't have any effect.

Everyone fell silent, after all, this kind of thing is so unbelievable that it is hard to believe it.

Qi Xianqing came to the window and looked up at the night sky: "No wonder I thought it was strange just now."

Qi Xianqing was already a cultivator of the Fourth Realm Fusion Realm, and he was also the first disciple of the Five Dragons

Gate Earthquake Fire Sect.

But there are people outside the sky, and there are many people in this world who are more powerful than her, and there are

many magic weapons that she has never seen.

Qi Xianqing is very

understands that I am only a first glimpse of the world.

Qi Xianqing raised his eyebrows: "The moon is very big tonight, and there are many stars, the moon and stars are scarce, and

the moon is round, so the starlight should be scarce."

When

Yan Jue heard this, he also looked up at the sky, and suddenly realized that in the courtyard just now, Qi Xianqing had been

staring at the sky. She thought it was someone who had the leisure to enjoy the moon, but who knew that she had already

sensed that something was wrong there.

This woman is terrifying.

Perhaps from the moment they entered the inn, everything around them was a fantasy that was carefully arranged by people.

Qi Xianqing: "I have a guess, let's hurry first."

Duan Luxi went to the next room to wake up Chu Fu.

The hundred-step cart had already driven back on its own, presumably having completed the task, Chu Fu hadn't figured out

the situation yet, but looking at the solemn faces of several people, he faintly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly

summoned the hundred-step cart and let everyone sit on it.

The 100-step car drove away from the Mingyan Inn overnight.

After taking hundreds of steps, Duan Luxi briefly told Chu Fu about the current situation.

She spoke very slowly, and it stands to reason that at a normal speed, the hundred-step car should have left the purple

bamboo forest a long time ago.

But it didn't.

The hundred-step car drove round and round in the bamboo forest.

The moonlight is very beautiful, and the bamboo shadow is slightly slanted.

No matter which direction the 100-step car travels from, it will eventually recircle back to the door of the inn.

"Sure enough." Qi Xianqing said: "I was trapped in the illusion.

Before she could finish speaking, everyone around her was creepy.

Qi Xianqing took out a small compass from the Qiankun ring, and the pointer on the compass shook left and right.

Qi Xianqing frowned and muttered, "Du, Jing, with Kan and Gen."

Although

Yan Jue couldn't quite understand, he knew that Qi Xianqing should be trying to break the formation now.

A touch of fish belly white appeared in the distant night sky, and it was already early in the morning.

I don't know how many times the 100-step car stopped outside the inn.

Qi Xianqing raised his hand: "Enter the inn." In the

morning light, everyone walked into the inn and found a table to sit down.

After a while, someone came from that side.

Yan Jue was suddenly stunned.

The scorpion spirit boss, who was killed by himself in the room yesterday, walked out of the kitchen and handed them a menu

with a smile on his face: "What dish does the guest officer order?" "

& gt; Yan Jue looked at him in a daze, like falling into an ice cave in an instant, looked up and saw Qi Xianqing's inquiring

gaze, and slowly told her what happened in the room last night.

Qi Xianqing's gaze stayed in the distance for a moment: "Don't pay attention to it yet."

"Find the formation gate." Any illusion in your

world can be cracked, the main thing is to find the breaking door.

The so-called array gate is the weakest point in the entire illusion world.

Just now, Qi Xianqing calculated the general hexagram of the formation arrangement outside the inn. The weakest key in this

formation should be here.

Yan Jue nodded, and Duan Luxi stood up and searched around.

Chu Fu's face was also very gloomy, and he stood up and followed everyone to search.

Duan Luxi walked a few steps, his face turned pale, and he suddenly reached out to hold the table.

"Senior Sister ..."

Qi Xianqing stood up and walked to her side, her face solemn: "What's wrong?"

Duan Luxi bit his lip and said, "I can't walk, and I can't see clearly in front of me."

Qi Xianqing was silent for a long time: "Let's go back and sit first."

Yan Jue was looking for it, and suddenly heard a crisp bell sound in the distance.

A Taoist priest took it, five camels, approached the inn slowly, said a few words to the boss affectionately, and then walked out.

It's the Taoist priest from yesterday.
