Ask the Mirror Chapter 9: Shocking Birds

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

In a dazed state, an unknown amount of time passed before Yu Ci heard a "click" in his head, as if the "little hammer" struck again, popping him out of his dazed state. When I opened my eyes, it was already bright. The scene of traveling on the moon and observing the vast sea of ​​​​stars seemed to be still in front of me, but the more I recalled it, the more hazy and confusing it became, almost like a dream.

Close your eyes and look inside, you will see that the Qi, blood, muscles and bones all over the body are pure and flawless, and the organs are pliable and strong. As soon as you think about it, the true Qi rises like a tide, and when you move your mind again, it transforms into pure and soft silky silk. Wisps, like the passing spring breeze.

There is no doubt that Yu Ci's cultivation has improved, his physical condition is as good as ever, and his control of Qi has never been as easy as it is today.

However, did I miss something?

In Yu Ci's view, leaping to the realm of spirituality should be a crucial step in the journey of spiritual practice. It should be an unparalleled evolution from the inside to the outside, from the inside to the spirit. Otherwise, how can we distinguish the difference between monks and ordinary people?

But up to this moment, apart from the differentiation of divine will in his soul, Yu Ci had not noticed the earth-shaking changes he expected. Maybe last night's journey through the moon could count as one, but it was too mysterious and made him feel too unreal.

Moreover, there are more serious problems waiting for him ahead.

The practice of spiritual realm is very different from the "Three Ordinary Passes". I remember that Fairy Chiyin said at the beginning that all the cultivation methods below the realm of spiritual connection are acquired methods. If you want to continue to improve in the realm of spiritual connection, you must have a unique method of transforming acquired knowledge into innate methods, or you must abandon the previous method and directly Practice innate methods.

The so-called innate method is also the "immortality technique" controlled by the monks. But Yu Ci couldn't find the legendary "immortality technique", and he didn't know the secret of "Nine Palaces Moonlight Really Wonderful Technique" to transform acquired into innate. He was still at a loss as to how to go next.

Of course, he was not discouraged. He had encountered similar things countless times during his twelve years of independent practice. This is what casual cultivators are like. They have no teachers to teach them, no guidance from experts, and naturally no theoretical concepts. They can only **** forward by themselves until their heads are broken and bleeding, and then they realize that there is no way forward. Please turn back...

You'll get used to it.

Yu Ci was thinking and wanted to continue thinking, but there was a sound coming from the surrounding pine forest, and it was getting louder and louder.

He raised his head impatiently, but there was a sudden earthquake beneath him, as if the mountain was shaking. From his position, he could see birds flying in the forest, and it was not limited to one corner, but half of the forest. The birds were buzzing, and a dark cloud seemed to be covering the sky above the pine forest, and the buzzing sound was enough to burst the eardrums.

What could cause such an effect?

Yu Ci concentrated her mind, lowered her body cautiously, and looked down from the edge of the depression.

It was difficult to see the details in the forest from this angle, but when a mountain breeze blew by, Yu Ci could vaguely smell a very unfamiliar fishy smell. The reason why it is said to be strange is that the smell is incompatible with the common scent of vegetation, birds and animals in the mountains and forests, and it is extremely irritating. As soon as it penetrates into the nose, Yu Ci feels inexplicably uneasy, feeling that the smell is emitting this kind of smell. Master, you don't look like a kind person in any way.

The birds hovering over the forest seem to prove it.

Just as I was thinking about it, another scream came from below. The sound was so sharp that it echoed all over the mountain, and even suppressed the noise of the birds for a while. Yu Ci felt the strong fear and death energy erupting from the screams, and immediately knew that someone below was doomed.

Perhaps the screams were too loud, but after the screams, there was an abnormal silence in the forest. Of course, that is more likely to be Yu Ci's illusion. However, he also felt that although the buzzing noise of the birds had not subsided, it seemed that people were dying in the forest, and the guy who gave off the fishy smell was disappearing.

After a full quarter of an hour, the dark clouds of birds descended over the forest. Yu Ci didn't waste any time, jumped out from the hiding place and jumped down.

The mountain breeze was filled with a faint scent of blood and a strong smell of burning. Yu Ci was guided by it, passing through the branches and leaves, and soon arrived near the incident site. To his surprise, there were already people there, seven or eight of them.

However, these people are obviously distracted.

Yu Ci walked straight over, deliberately walking harder, but he still didn't call the other party's attention. It wasn't until he coughed lightly that someone turned around and made a defensive posture. Then, the group of people turned around one after another. , be on strict alert. This reaction was a bit excessive.

However, judging from the speed at which they mobilize their energy and blood, it can be seen that these people are only long-breathing practitioners at best and are not very dangerous. They look like ordinary herb collectors.

Seeing that Yu Ci was alone and with traces of being burned on her body, the herb collectors felt a little embarrassed and their vigilance dropped spontaneously. Yu Ci then stepped forward and introduced himself as a Sanren who came to collect medicine. Hearing the sound, he came over to take a look.

"It's a monster!"

This was the answer of the herb collectors. When they said this, they were still frightened. Their eyes unconsciously glanced deep into the forest, and they tried to distance themselves from there.

Monster? Thinking of the pungent fishy smell, Yu Ci was a little convinced.

After four months around the Sky Rift Valley, he already knew that what the liar Xuan Qing said that night was not completely unreliable. He often hears rumors that deep in the clouds and mists of the Sky Rift Valley, there live some ferocious creatures that are unimaginable to ordinary people. They form a world of their own. Although they are all cruel and murderous, they rarely set foot in the upper part of the Sky Rift Valley. . But once someone provokes them, these vicious creatures will chase them and will not stop until they kill the person.

However, compared to monsters, Yu Ci prefers to call them ferocious beasts, which is more in line with his understanding.

Yu Ci also asked about the appearance of the ferocious beast, but these herb collectors were vague, saying that the ferocious beast was too fast and could not see its appearance clearly. All I know is that it is huge, soars into the clouds and rides on the mist, and wields thunder and fire, making it very strange.

Soaring in the clouds and driving the fog? Royal messenger of thunder and fire? It was difficult for Yu Ci to understand this kind of thing, but he had already seen a corpse lying behind the crowd of medicine collectors. Glancing at it through the wall of people, he felt that the person died miserably, probably at the hands of a "monster".

"Are you a companion?"

At the sudden question, some nodded and some shook their heads.

Yu Ci laughed. He had also seen before that two people among the herb collectors had just stood up from the corpse and put something in their clothes. This was probably the reason.

He had no intention of trying to get rich from the dead, but he didn't care what these herb collectors thought. He just said "borrow the light" and stepped forward to observe. Among the herb collectors, some gave way, some were reluctant, and some even had murderous intentions.

At this moment, Yu Ci glanced at the face of the man with murderous intent.

The reason why he captured the target so accurately was because at this moment, a light lit up on the door above him.

For Yu Ci, this feeling was very strange. As soon as he thought about it, his forehead suddenly became hot, as if a light was rising, and a flame was lit above his head, as big as a bean, which seemed to be extinguished by the wind. But it still shines through the void. The light is cast on the target as if it is spiritual, and the Qi of the whole body is also adjusted to a state of being ready to go.

The expressions of everyone on the other side changed.

The change in the faces of the herbal collectors was not due to Yu Ci's sudden change of attitude, but because they suddenly felt that the little white-faced guy in front of him, whose skin was more delicate than a woman's, seemed to have suddenly grown taller and taller after turning around. It expanded horizontally in a circle, as if it was full of energy, so that the Wenxiu's face became a little ferocious, and it stared at it from a high position.

But if you look closely, you will see that the person is still the same person. He has not grown taller or stronger, and there is no ferocious expression on his face, but the feeling through it is that of incomparable ferocity.

Among the herb collectors, a man's legs and feet suddenly became weak, and he just sat down on the ground.

This person is the one who had evil thoughts just now. He is quite short-lived and fierce, and he also likes to fight fiercely. He just took the opportunity to get some benefits, but he is afraid that the white-faced Taoist priest opposite will leave and spread it everywhere, causing trouble to his family. , so he secretly took out the knife and prepared to call his brothers to go up together and kill this person.

Unexpectedly, before he could make any move, the white-faced Taoist priest suddenly turned around and fixed his gaze directly on him. It was as sharp as a knife, and it cut out his heart, and the entire chest seemed to be hollowed out! At that moment, I couldn't take a breath, and I almost stopped breathing.

The companion fell to the ground, and the remaining herb collectors were also excited. At this time, everyone's thoughts could be seen. Some drew their swords straight away, while others moved back. There were seven or eight of them. The atmosphere in the forest suddenly became extremely tense and chaotic. . Of course, that's only for a few medicinal collectors.

Yu Ci couldn't help laughing when she saw the reaction of this rabble.

He was in a good mood, and that look was not intentional on his part, but a spontaneous reaction from his soul. The "light" that was just lit was something that was not seen in the previous practice, but it has a lot to do with the soul. It is very likely that it is a unique change after the spiritual connection. It needs to be studied carefully in the future.

He took care of himself, but he still had to solve the problem at hand first. There is no need to say more. With the fear that paralyzed a person, he walked towards the direction of the corpse, walked directly to the corpse, squatted down and took a look.

No one among the medicinal collectors dared to act rashly.

Seeing the condition of the corpse with his own eyes, even though Yu Ci thought she was brave, she felt a slight chill on the back of her neck. This man's face has been smashed to pieces, and not only his face, but also the entire upper body from the head down, there are few intact bones. With a slight touch, even the skin and flesh feel crispy, obviously due to strong external force. It was made to look like this.

From the posture of the corpse, he deduced that the person should have been blown away by a huge force, and quickly found the direction from which the person flew.

Looking from his position, he saw that a pine tree over there was broken at waist level, but it was only supported by the trees next to it, which prevented it from completely falling. Looking into the depths of the forest from the gap between the broken trees, one could vaguely imagine how the man next to him was beaten away by the ferocious beast, broke the pine wood, and finally fell to his death.

At the same time, this also solved the previous doubts. No wonder he didn't find any traces of fierce fighting, and he also felt that the scent of the ferocious beasts was too little. It turned out that this was not the first battlefield, the real battlefield was still deep in the forest.

Yu Ci noted the location and looked down at the body again. What caught his attention was that although the man's clothes were already quite messy after a fierce fight and the rummaging by these herb collectors, but when he pinched the corners of his clothes, he couldn't tell what the material was, but it felt soft and tough. Come to think of it, Worth a fortune.

This kind of person doesn’t look like he’s here to collect medicine!
