I will survive with proficiency

Both Xu Ruluan and Miss Leng are first-order evil spirits, and neither has Xu Ruyan's concealment effect. If you choose to let them come to Xiaozhufeng on their own, once they get close to Ling Xiaozong, if they are notified by the monk's talisman, there is a high probability of conflict.

Whether Xu Ruluan and others were wiped out, or the monks were invaded by evil spirits, Chen Ping was not willing to see it.

So Chen Ping followed Xu Ruyan directly to the Demon Execution Site.

This distance is not too far for Chen Ping.

When I arrived at the Demon Execution Site, I looked at the huge pits on the site for several miles, the thick and broken branches of trees covered with moss, like a section of Qingyan cut by a knife. Chen Ping sighed unceasingly, one can imagine how tragic the battle here was back then.

Decades have passed, and this is the first time Chen Ping has visited this area in person.

In fact, it wasn't just that Chen Ping hadn't been here.

Many other monks will not come to this area without special missions.

Because there were many high-ranking monks who fell that year, the filthy atmosphere was everywhere. Even if you walk here in broad daylight, the evil spirit talisman will faintly heat up, and it will be even more terrifying at night.

And because this is the former demon cave, the demon cultivator has been entrenched here for many years. Even now, when Chen Ping walks out here, he can still feel a faint demonic energy.

This is truly a haunted paradise.

"Master, Yan'er go ahead, let's come in together." Xu Ruyan led the way.

What does it mean to go in together?

Chen Ping looked around for a while:

"It's not us, it's you. You just ask them to come up."

The demon cultivator had been planning here for many years, and the underground palace must have been extremely deep and intricate. Even if it was completely destroyed later, there might still be remaining traps.

Besides, if Xu Ruyan and the others can live here, there may be other evil spirits, and he doesn't want to go in and take risks for two evil spirits.

Xu Ruyan had the urge to complain about her master.

But dare not.

"Okay, Yan'er will come back as soon as she goes."

After Chen Ping saw Xu Ruyan flashing into the tunnel of the underground palace through the gap in the collapsed cave, he released his consciousness at the same time, and followed Xu Ruyan's figure to 'check' the situation underground.

There are signs of collapse everywhere in the cave.

The tunnel is cramped, and many places can't even allow a person to pass through it smoothly, but after going deep underground for several miles, some relatively spacious caves will occasionally appear.

Some bones that have not been completely ashes can still be seen in the underground palace.

I don't know if it was left behind from the Demon Slaying War, or the cultivators who came here to take risks or hunt for treasure later.

Or it may be the monk who came here to guard the Ling Xiaozong in the past few decades and fell unexpectedly.

The more you go inside the underground palace, the higher the frequency of black air appearing.

In the end, Xu Ruyan stayed in a collapsed underground palace.

Following Xu Ruyan's appearance, two evil creatures soon appeared.

Chen Ping's spiritual sense quickly searched the cave full of filth, there was nothing unique about it, and after looking for a long time, he didn't see the dark streak that Xu Ruyan mentioned.

But at this moment, an evil spirit slightly touched a piece of blue rock behind him, and Chen Ping noticed that there was a streak of light flashing there.

The dark lines are fleeting.

Then it returns to the texture of the rock itself.

No wonder.

This bionicity is too strong.

I'm afraid that even if there are patrol cultivators from Lingxiaozong who go deep into this place, they may not be able to discover the abnormalities here.

Chen Ping took a serious look at the dark streak.

After careful inspection, the dark streak actually presents the outline of a lotus flower, and it is not without rules.

But other than that, there are no other features.

I don't see why the cultivation base of an evil spirit can exceed two levels.

Thinking of Xu Ruyan saying that Aunt Leng came from the other end of the dark pattern, Chen Ping condensed his consciousness and let her enter the wall.

His spiritual consciousness is several times stronger than that of a monk of the same realm, even in the soil, he can penetrate tens of miles.

However, to Chen Ping's regret, after his consciousness entered the wall, he didn't find anything unusual.

That is an ordinary wall.

Chen Ping pulled out his consciousness and looked at the dark pattern lotus seriously again. This time, the consciousness unconsciously entered the dark lotus flower accurately, and suddenly felt a sense of trance.

Chen Ping was startled.

Sure enough, there is an exception.

But before he could react much, he continued to feed back with his deep consciousness, and a more intense sense of trance and dizziness came.

The lotus dark pattern seemed to have turned into a pitch-black passage, and his consciousness was floating in it like a speck of dust.

Along with the vertigo comes an intense sense of exclusivity.

Chen Ping was shocked. His instinctive sense of self-protection made him instantly cut off his consciousness, and drew back the consciousness deep in the dark lines to avoid further backlash.

What is this dark pattern?

Why is there exclusivity?

Will it be aggressive?

Chen Ping didn't understand, but he didn't dare to try again. One thing is certain: the shadow pattern definitely hides a mystery.

"Master, Yan'er is back." A voice brought Chen Ping back to reality.

Behind Xu Ruyan, stood two women.

Two highly recognizable women.

One of them looks very similar to Xu Ruyan, and Chen Ping knows it is Xu Ruluan without introducing Chen Ping.

Like Xu Ruyan, she was also wearing a long red dress in Xu's uniform style, with a slender figure. If she hadn't acted more dignified and quiet, Chen Ping wouldn't even be able to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.

"Little girl Xu Ruluan, I have met Master Chen." Xu Ruluan saluted slightly.

Chen Ping nodded. At this time, his attention was no longer on her, but on the female Xie Chong whom Xu Ruyan called Aunt Leng.

this.

It's not normal at all.

Rather than saying it was a female cultivator turned evil spirit, it would be better to say it was a rattle drum.

It's just that this rattle has a drumhead on one side and the face of a fox with closed eyes on the other.

What is Aunt Leng? Call it a cold-faced fox.

Seeing Chen Ping at this moment, she didn't speak.

Instead, it keeps changing faces.

"She is the Aunt Leng that Yan'er mentioned, she can't speak. She keeps turning her head, which means she is very happy." Xu Ruyan said quickly.

Chen Ping remains vigilant against the cold-faced fox.

Among the three evil spirits, Xu Ruyan has already fulfilled the contract, and now they share honor and disgrace with him, and it is impossible to harm him. Xu Ruluan is Xu Ruyan's older sister, and he indirectly completed the revenge for her. The two had nothing to do with each other before their death, and there was no reason to harm him.

But this cold-faced fox has to guard against it.

It's not that she is worried about her targeting herself for no reason.

But her origin is unknown, and the dark pattern of the lotus flower in the cave is full of mystery.

Chen Ping has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the unknown.

He carefully looked at the cold-faced fox, and found that its evil spirit was not very strong. It was obviously in the first-order state at the moment, and it was unlikely to hurt himself under such circumstances. Chen Ping was a little relieved.

"It's not suitable to stay for a long time at this moment, everyone enters the stone tablet first, and I will take you back to talk about it later." Chen Ping fell, and a stone tablet was suspended in front of him.

When the three women entered the stele, Chen Ping did not stop, and quickly returned to Xiaozhufeng.

After returning to the quiet room, he activated the small mountain guard formation, and arranged evil-killing talismans everywhere in the quiet room, and then released Xu Ruluan, giving priority to empathy.

Most of Xu Ruluan's life experience overlaps with Xu Ruyan's, so the empathy was quickly completed.

So are their obsessions.

It is now complete.

However, Chen Ping was not in a hurry to let her complete the contract, but immediately summoned the cold-faced fox, eager to use the cold-faced fox to find out what was behind the dark pattern of the lotus flower.

With empathy, I saw that the life picture of the cold-faced fox is not as clear and visible as that of sister Xu Ruyan.

It is even impossible to know the life experience of the cold-faced fox.

It can only be known from the fragmented images that her obsession is to find a rattle, which was her childhood toy and was lost later.

In the limited picture, Chen Ping couldn't see where her childhood came from, but she saw a huge statue of a character in multiple scenes.

A statue towering over the abyss.

Under the empathy, Chen Ping seemed to be standing in the abyss, standing in front of the towering figure statue. Just looking up like this, the statue can give him a huge sense of oppression.

It made him want to escape desperately.

call!

Chen Ping stopped empathizing and let out a sigh of relief.

What statue is this?

Why is there such a strong sense of oppression?

Whose statue is this?

Why is it erected in the abyss?

What is there?

Chen Ping was full of question marks.

He couldn't help looking at the cold-faced fox with a smiling face again, and realized that there might be a big secret hidden in this evil animal's life experience.

But it is definitely useless to ask Leng Mianhu. What he sees under empathy is the most real thing. The information he can't see means that Leng Mianhu himself doesn't know.

Chen Ping guessed that because the picture was fragmented, the cold-faced fox was like a puppet, unable to speak or communicate.

etc.

Magical energy?

Chen Ping suddenly sensed a pure devilish energy in the cold-faced fox.

Mozu?

Chen Ping was so turbulent in his heart that he couldn't help but took a small step back for a moment.

This magic energy is too pure.

He has only sensed such pure demon energy from two people, one is Chi Liang, and the other is Capricorn, which he met in Jia Zhong's collection of magic weapons.

This is the original demon energy of the demon race, and it is the demon energy that demon cultivators do not possess.

This magic energy is very pure, but very weak. Chen Ping hadn't been in close contact with the cold-faced fox before, so he didn't pay attention to it, and the focus of empathy was not here. It was only at this moment that I felt this weak magic energy when I came into close contact with it.

The cold-faced fox comes from the devil world?

If this is the case, where is the other end of the dark pattern lotus in the cave? Could it be the Demon Realm?

Why did the dark pattern lotus appear here?

Think carefully and fear.

The corner of Chen Ping's mouth couldn't help shaking, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

The matter is of great importance, and Wei Xun has to be told about it.

no no.

Wei Xun is useless.

I have to tell Xiyue.

Chen Ping looked at the cold-faced fox in front of him, let him return to the magic weapon, and then performed the Nine Nether Ghost Training Technique to temporarily seal the cold-faced fox in the magic weapon.

Without his initiative to lift the ban, she would never be able to come out.

The cold-faced fox has a special status, so it's better not to come out.

Chen Ping didn't intend to fulfill her obsession just to drive her.

What are you kidding?

Go to the devil world to find rattles? Don't say that she is just a first-level evil spirit, even if it is a third-level, fourth-level, or even fifth-level evil spirit, Chen Ping will never take risks for it.

In the end, Xu Ruyan and sisters were released again.

asked:

"When did the dark line in the cave appear?"

Xu Ruyan looked at her sister and said proactively:

"Yan'er and her sister went there to inhabit there after the great battle there. At that time, they didn't pay attention to the existence of the dark lines. They just intuited that they should have existed a long time ago. But Aunt Leng came out of the dark lines later. , as it was fifty or sixty years ago."

Although the Xu Ruyan sisters call Leng Mianhu their aunts, they are actually not related by blood.

Just because they were in the same room, they developed feelings.

The reason why it is called aunt is because the only sound that the cold-faced fox can occasionally make is the faltering "咕咕咕~"

What Chen Ping was more concerned about was, if that dark pattern existed long ago, was it a coincidence that the demon cultivator plotted against Qingyunyu back then? Or has it been planned for a long time?

"Later, the two of us asked Aunt Leng to help me kill Su Lengyuan, only to find that Aunt Leng seemed to be inseparable from that dark pattern, and her strength would drop sharply when she was far away."

"What's wrong? Is that dark streak important?"

Chen Ping nodded slightly.

That dark streak is not important.

Where is behind that dark pattern? What secrets are hidden matters.

Seeing Chen Ping nodded, Xu Ruyan recalled and said:

"When Yan'er and her sister lived there, disciples of the Lingxiao Sect once entered there to investigate. From their conversations, they guessed that they should be investigating the demon cultivator. But they didn't notice the dark lines there."

This is exactly what Chen Ping thought.

When the dark pattern is not shining, it seems to be the pattern of the rock itself, which is not conspicuous. And if the divine consciousness is not injected precisely along the lines, even if the spiritual consciousness goes deep into the wall, it will not be able to detect the abnormality.

"Also, master, don't misunderstand, Yan'er and sister didn't attack those Ling Xiaozong monks back then."

Seeing Chen Ping's thoughtful look, he quickly explained:

"What Yan'er said is true. Just imagine, if those disciples died in the cave, it would only attract more powerful monks, then we would have to find another place, and the loss would outweigh the gain."

Chen Ping's focus is actually not on this, these things have long passed.

He can only control Xu Ruyan from attacking Ling Xiaozong monks casually now, and the previous things are beyond his control.

He was concerned about the dark patterns.

It's a pity that sister Xu Ruyan doesn't know much.

never mind.

do not care.

Let Xiyue deal with such a big matter.

I'm just a Jindan early-stage cultivator, so I'd better take care of my own cultivation first.

Chen Ping finally looked at Xu Ruluan:

"Your obsession itself is over. Are you sure you are willing to complete the contract and become a part of the magic weapon? If you don't want to, it's too late to regret it now."

"Ru Luan is willing."

Xu Ruluan's voice was steady.

Chen Ping didn't ask any more questions. It is estimated that the two sisters had talked many times in advance, and said directly:

"After you enter the magic weapon, relax yourself, let yourself fuse with the charm of the magic weapon, and then you can complete the contract. I will copy a spell called 'Common God Art' for you afterwards, and you will practice this technique in the future law."

Among the three ancient Nine Nether Ghost Training Techniques, the Seven Injuries Technique has already been practiced by Xu Ruyan.

The rest of the attacking skills are only meaningful if the strength of the evil spirit is sufficient. Xu Ruluan is only at the first level, so it is obviously not suitable for learning attacking skills.

The co-spiritual technique is very suitable.

Once you learn the common spirit technique, it is equivalent to having an extra long-distance eye, which is much more effective than the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada.

"Thank you, master." Xu Ruluan saluted.

Chen Ping hesitated and said:

"As for the evil spirit, you can dissolve the evil spirit pill in the bath for you to practice together."

After so many years, Xu Ruyan has already absorbed all the evil spirits in the magic treasure bath.

Xu Ruyan had already started taking the evil spirit pill.

However, the evil spirit pill can be taken directly, or it can be dissolved in the bath to release the evil spirit for everyone to absorb together.

At present, the Shaqi Pill is limited, and it can no longer withstand the consumption of the two of them, so it is simply dissolved in the bath for everyone to slowly absorb.

"Thank you, master." Xu Ruyan smiled excitedly, thanking her sister in advance.

Before that, he was quite worried that Chen Ping would not like her sister's cultivation, but now it seems that Chen Ping has taken good care of her sister.

"Master, what about Aunt Leng?"

"Her situation is more complicated, we will talk about it later."

After Xu Ruyan and sisters returned to the magic weapon, Chen Ping copied the "communicative magic" in "Nine Nether Ghost Training".

At the same time, he also gave priority to practicing cultivation.

After three days, the entry was smooth.

[Nine Nether Ghost Training: Common Divine Art (Introductory): 1/1000. 】

A few days later, Xu Ruluan, who had completed the contract, entered the door smoothly.

The more proficient you are in this sorcery, the farther the distance between the master and the evil spirit will be.

Chen Ping immediately conducted an experiment with Xu Ruluan. At the current entry level, the distance between the common gods is almost 100 miles.

That is to say, when Chen Ping is in Xiaozhufeng and Xu Ruluan is in the forest 100 miles away, Chen Ping can see what Xu Ruluan sees through the common god, communicate with Xu Ruluan, and let him act according to his ideas.

But after more than 100 miles, the 'signal' will not be good, and the picture will be stuck, or even dropped.

The higher the proficiency level, the farther the distance.

Similarly, Xu Ruluan's concealment will become stronger.

This is not urgent.

Just practice slowly.
