Chapter 168 Qiheng Mansion
Murong Ji stood up suddenly, subconsciously drew out the Tianwen Sword, and swung the sword around violently, but hit nothing!
He thought that this place was occupied by some ferocious beasts, just like the white ape at the beginning.

He lit the torch again and looked around, but found nothing dangerous and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Don't be greedy! Go quickly! ]

Murong Ji's face froze, and after thinking for a while he walked out of the cave. When he walked into the long corridor at the entrance of the cave, a feeling of uneasiness and reluctance from the bottom of his heart slowly came over him.

That sense of security and comfort makes people greedy, just like the mother's arms. The child's greed for the mother seems to be a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Murong Ji looked back, he really didn’t want to leave!

The diamond cutter on his wrist vibrated slightly, constantly reminding Murong Ji to leave quickly.

Murong Ji put away his sword and walked out of the cave.

Walking through the spacious corridor, Murong Ji suddenly discovered a problem. His physical strength was being consumed quickly, and his steps were getting slower and slower.

It seemed as if the cave was trying to keep him there, or as if his own subconscious mind was playing tricks on him.

Sensing something was wrong, Murong Ji's face became serious. "What's going on?!"

No one answered him. Murong Ji thought to himself that it was not good. If he didn't want to leave, then this cave and this formation would affect his subconscious mind.

If Huashan didn't want to leave...

Instantly, Murong Ji was startled and shuddered, [It's over! ]

Murong Ji suddenly leaped towards the cave entrance, and the Golden Elixir Method started working again instantly. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't used it for a long time, but he was a little rusty about it. After slowly unblocking his meridians.

The speed of the internal force circulation was actually a little sluggish.

Murong Ji secretly cursed himself for being stupid, the Golden Elixir Method was his foundation, and he actually stopped!

With the help of the Golden Elixir Method to resist that strange feeling, Murong Ji's pressure was greatly reduced and his speed increased a bit.

After seeing the light at the entrance of the cave, Murong Ji was delighted. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he was frightened to death the next moment.

It was as if there was some thousand-year-old monster in the deep cave behind him staring at him. His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat and he subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

The Tianwen sword was unsheathed with a clang, and he held it in his hand and swung it fiercely behind him, but again he missed.

Murong Ji was sure that there was something in there, but he just couldn't see it!

【Monster! 】

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Murong Ji turned around and threw the torch over.

Today, even if he dies on the spot, he still wants to see what this monster looks like!
Murong Ji suddenly stopped and turned to look where the flames were flying. The next moment, Murong Ji was a little stunned because he saw a face.

A beautiful face.

It passed in a flash, and before Murong Ji could see clearly, at the same time, he slapped out with his palm, and three consecutive palms of Great Compassion and Great Mercy blasted over.

The strange feeling all over my body came over me again, as if the monster was invisible and formless!
Murong Ji turned around and walked away. After taking a few steps, he found that the distance from the cave entrance had not changed at all.

His face darkened and he suddenly leaped out, his Lingbo Weibu moving at such a fast speed that it almost left an afterimage.

The distance to the cave entrance remains unchanged.

Murong Ji felt a sense of despair in his heart. This was the gap between humans and monsters, and it could not be made up by the difference in strength.

It's the distance at the biological level, just like humans and ants.

"Pa!" As soon as the thought came to his mind, Murong Ji slapped himself hard in the face.

This thing can interfere with my mood, just like the original desire.

The feeling of danger behind him became heavier and heavier, and Murong Ji couldn't explain why he used the word "heavy" to describe it.

He turned around suddenly, wanting to see what kind of monster it was!
"Zheng"

The diamond bracelet on his wrist flew out instantly, and when it reached in front of him, it was as big as a dinner plate!

The four words "extremely empty and profoundly quiet" are extremely clear.

The next moment, a golden light shone, and a "sizzling" sound was heard, as if something was being scalded. In the darkness, Murong Ji could not see clearly what the hell it was!

There is no sound in the ears, but the feeling is transmitted to the soul.

Murong Ji's whole body relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. He held onto the wall and watched the diamond bracelet turn into a stream of light and wrap back around his wrist.

I have lingering fears.

In a trance, Murong Ji could only hear his own panting, as if in a dream. [Was it just my illusion? ]

I couldn't believe it, it was like a dream, and I was scared to death and broke out in a cold sweat.

He put away the sword and turned to walk out of the cave.

Seeing the rising sun outside, the air was still a little chilly. At this moment, Murong Ji felt as if he had been reborn, as if he had just crawled out of hell.

Touching the diamond bracelet on my left wrist, which is still hot, the experience just now was obviously real.

Murong Ji let out a long breath, and when he came to his senses, he noticed that all his internal energy had been sucked away by the Vajra Bracelet.

This is not the time to worry about these things, so I asked, "What did I just encounter?"

After waiting for a while, Murong Ji still didn't hear any response from the Vajra Bracelet. He wanted to give up, but was somewhat unwilling to do so. He found a stone, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice the Golden Elixir Method.

【will.】

Murong Ji was stunned, a little stunned. Will, what will? Huashan really became a spirit? In his impression, those ancient gods were all spirits.

For example, the Queen Mother of the West is a leopard...er...leopard.

Come to think of it, if there really are spirits, then the Five Mountains, which have been famous for a long time, have the most innate advantages. It is natural that famous mountains and rivers breed spirits.

But... why is Huashan's will...

【Not everyone is Chen Tuan. When practicing, they want to promote together with Huashan, gaining and giving back.】

[That kind of will is the remnant that was purged by heaven and earth. They are unwilling to accept this and want to drag you down with them.]

[Chen Tuan's method is useful, but it has flaws. Breeding is a game in itself.]

Murong Ji was silent for a while. Indeed, pregnancy itself was a game.

Game between fetus and mother.

The embryo has a chance of survival wherever it grows in the mother.

But only by growing in the mother's womb can the mother survive.

To the mother, the fetus is like a parasite, constantly absorbing nutrients from the mother to replenish itself.

In order to survive, the mother will naturally release means of self-preservation.

Murong Ji took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and began to practice the Golden Elixir Method.

After running for one cycle, Murong Ji was a little confused. He didn't know when a pill formed between his eyebrows.

Although it is not obvious yet, the feeling of swelling is unmistakable.

Murong Ji let out a long breath. The three pills were completed, and he had made one step further on the path to enlightenment.

He stood up and stretched, and the three elixirs slowly started to move, driving the circulation of internal force, changing his internal force and body.

Murong Ji felt that he had unlimited energy. This comfortable feeling was really refreshing. Now he wanted to drag Wang Yuyan to fight for 300 rounds...

Retracting his thoughts, Murong Ji looked up at the cliffs of Mount Huashan.

He stepped lightly and flew quickly towards the iron pestle that was more than ten meters high, then climbed up and landed on the Luoyan Peak of Huashan Mountain.

Murong Ji finally let out a sigh of relief, [After sleeping in that cave, my strength has actually increased so much. ]

Then he realized that this was the result of his internal strength becoming more refined. At the same time as his internal strength became more refined, his physical condition was also constantly improving thanks to the Golden Elixir Method.

"Kang Dang"

Murong Ji turned his head and saw a female Taoist priest looking at him blankly, with a bucket of water spilled beside her...

Murong Ji saw that she was about forty years old, so he bowed and said, "Murong Ji greets Senior Sister."

Kun Dao finally reacted, "You! Who are you? How did you get up here?"

Murong Ji was stunned. There didn't seem to be many people in the Huashan Sect. He should have heard about it when he came here.

Maybe it was because the time was too short and she didn’t know anyone was coming up the mountain.

After Murong Ji stood up, he bowed and said, "The greeting card has already been sent to Senior Li Canghai."

"Sister, can you tell me how to find Senior Li Canghai? I..."

Kun Dao's face was full of fear, and his hand trembled continuously as he pointed at him, "You...you..." He took two steps back but didn't say a word.

The next moment he turned and ran without any hesitation.

Murong Ji: "..."

With a confused look on his face, he looked back at the bottomless cliff below the mountain, then turned around and walked down the mountain.

There are not many places on Mount Huashan that are suitable for human life, but there are quite a few buildings on the mountain.

Murong Ji was walking on Canglong Ridge. This mountain range is known as the dragon vein of Mount Hua. It must be said that now that Murong Ji was the only one there, he really felt something.

It looks like a thin blade splitting the blue sky, with a bottomless abyss hanging on both sides.

At this time, the Canglong Ridge had no reinforced guardrails, and there was gravel underfoot, which was quite slippery and not very easy to walk on.

When he reached the middle of Mount Huashan, Murong Ji followed his memory and walked towards the unknown palace and temple.

Walking through the corridor, Murong Ji frowned slightly. The corridor looked a bit dilapidated. Why was there no one maintaining it?

When he walked to the front of the palace, he saw that the door was closed. Murong Ji frowned slightly and pushed the door open. In an instant, dust flew everywhere.

“Whoosh! Puff!”

"Cough cough cough."

Murong Ji fanned the dust and took a closer look. He was a little surprised. The palace and temple here were exactly the same as the ones he had seen.

A picture of Nuwa is hung on the front wall, and on the left is a stone statue of the ancestor Chen Tuan.

However, the dust was thick, as if there had been no human habitation for many years. Murong Ji looked carefully and saw a row of footprints on the ground. He stepped on them and found that they were indeed his.

After walking a few steps forward, he saw that the futon Li Canghai was sitting on was covered with thick dust. On the futon he was sitting on, there really seemed to be a mark left by himself.

"This is where my uncle practiced in seclusion. It has not been opened for a long time."

Murong Ji's eyes turned cold as he looked at the old woman who came in with a lot of talk. She was the two people who had come to help from the other families.

"Two seniors, can you explain this to me?"

One of the old women motioned for him to come out first. After Murong Ji walked out of the palace, the old woman closed the door, and the two of them walked down the mountain one after the other.
