Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan was really convinced. He knew that Liu Zhenwu could not settle down, and he didn't know what he had done to stupidly expose his whereabouts.

Above his head, Liu Zhenwu was already fighting with the Ghost King. He was waving a long stick-like cigarette stick. His rickety and shriveled body was different from his previous old state. With one stroke of the stick, he was so powerful and mighty that he swept away the ghost king. The little ghosts who wanted to get close had their bones broken, their muscles broken, their bones squeaked, and even the space they passed rippled.

He rushed out from the restrained tree canopy and wanted to escape, but the ghost king following behind him was not willing to let him go. With a ghostly face full of anger, he threw himself on his back fiercely.

Liu Zhenwu turned around and struck. The long black pole let out a tearing roar, and stars flew out of the chimney, sparks flying with every blow.

And the Ghost King didn't hesitate to give in. He directly faced him with his steel-like arms. During the collision, the sound of gold and stone was loud, and the clanging echoed through the night sky.

The fight between the two was so fierce that no one dared to get close, so that the swarming demons and ghosts could only surround the perimeter and scream, and the sky and ground were filled with darkness, which was very shocking even from a distance.

Liu Qinghuan's face darkened. Liu Zhenwu was such a scourge that he was seeking death and hurting others. Now the ghosts were gathering here, and many of them even passed through the big tree where he was hiding, putting him in danger of being discovered at any time.

Liu Qinghuan's whole body was like a ball of the purest wood spirit energy, completely integrated into the big tree. The art of transplanting flowers and trees also had a breakthrough that surprised him after he arrived at Nascent Soul. If someone were to cut open the tree now, they would only find the wood of the tree itself.

However, it is natural for ordinary little ghosts to be less afraid, but if another ghost king comes out...

Blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come alone. Just when I thought of the Ghost King, my consciousness swept to the top of my head, and I found three figures standing in the canopy of the tree.

The charming demon who had been hanging out with the ghost king before was one of them. Next to her was a man in black with a green face and fangs. Judging from his slightly stiff figure, he was probably something like a corpse demon.

But between the two of them, there was one person who seemed to be standing in a hazy mist. His handsome eyebrows and slender eyes were like those drawn by ink and ink. He looked aristocratic, with a tall figure, white clothes and snowy clothes. He only held a simple hand. Standing against the branches, you will naturally exude a distant demeanor like a green lotus in troubled times. It's a pity that the scene is wrong, it seems extremely out of place in this world where demons are dancing around.

Liu Qinghuan was evaluating secretly, but saw the man in white who had been staring at the battle below suddenly shifted his gaze and looked directly into the eyes of Liu Qinghuan who was hidden in the tree!

Liu Qinghuan felt his heart suddenly shrink, his hair stood on end, and every nerve in his body was screaming for danger!

He didn't expect that the other party was so sharp that he could actually capture his condensed consciousness in the chaos.

Just when he was facing a formidable enemy, the other party raised the corner of his mouth, showed a very faint smile, and nodded slightly.

What's the meaning?

Liu Qinghuan was startled. The man had obviously noticed him, but he didn't seem to be ready to complain. After paying his respects, he simply turned his head and continued to watch the battle below.

His mind was spinning, and countless doubts filled his chest. He secretly looked at the man in white.

This person's demeanor does not look like that of a ghost cultivator, nor is it very different from the corpse demon next to him. Rather, he looks like a demon cultivator. Moreover, he couldn't even see through the other party's cultivation level...

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Zhenwu yelling angrily amidst the noisy ghost screams: "...If you don't come out to help, then don't blame me for taking these ghosts back to other people's hiding places!"

Liu Qinghuan's eyes turned cold, and he saw that Liu Zhenwu was already a bit tired under the fierce attack of the ghost king and the siege of other ghosts. He also had several scars left by sharp claws on his body, but no blood flowed out from the scars. Instead, it appears eroded black.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Liu Zhenwu looked sinister and said: "Okay! If you are unkind, I will be unjust!"

He teleported, got rid of the Ghost King's attack again, swept out the big stick in his hand, wiped out all the ghosts in the way, and really ran towards the direction where Kuhai and others were hiding.

Liu Qinghuan cursed secretly and was about to give chase when Cuixu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "I'll go, don't move for now, find an opportunity to go back and report the news."

Before he finished speaking, an ordinary-looking wandering soul not far away from him suddenly burst out with a burst of spiritual light, revealing Cuixu's true face. He raised his hand, and his five fingers flicked at high speed. Countless green thin lines radiated from his fingertips. When shot out, nearby ghosts were instantly riddled with holes.

Liu Zhenwu stopped running and laughed wildly: "Fellow Taoist Cuixu, as expected, you are still impatient and righteous, Liu..."

Hearing a sharp "clang" sound, Cuixu took out a long sword from the fly whisk he had always held in his hand, and interrupted Liu Zhenwu's words: "Friend Liu Dao, stop talking nonsense and break out of the island together!"

"What a beautiful idea!" The Ghost King who had fought with Liu Zhenwu before suddenly spoke. Although there was a heavy buzz, he could still hear clearly: "These human cultivators who broke into this place, don't think they can fight under my nose. Sloppy, no one can escape today!"

He raised his head and let out a long roar, and saw the corpse demon who had been watching from the tree crown jump down. The black robe on his body was blown open by the wind, and he fell from the sky like a big bat.

"Walk!"

Before they could close together, Cuixu shouted, his body and sword combined, turning into a sharp green light, passing through the black crowd of ghosts, and shooting towards the outside of the island.

Liu Zhenwu snorted coldly, took a deep puff of the cigarette rod that had shrunk to its original shape, and then puffed out!

The red pillar of fire was like a roaring dragon, rushing towards the Ghost King on one side, forcing him to retreat. He took the opportunity to follow Cuixu's figure.

Suddenly, a group of ghosts heard the news and started to move. Amid the angry roar of the Ghost King, some of them followed the two of them, while others began to search all over the mountains and plains.

They searched every corner, yelling like crazy, scratching and scratching at the vegetation on the mountain, tearing off vines, pulling up tree roots, and some even started digging holes without knowing what they were talking about, as if they were determined to remove people from the soil. Dig it out.

Liu Qinghuan felt a little bit amused and felt a little strange.

His location was near the Ghost Gate. The ghosts were wreaking havoc in other places, but they did not get close to the Ghost Gate. Instead, they walked around with an attitude of both fear and admiration.

Although there were many ghosts among them that were equivalent to the level of ghost generals at the Golden Core stage, Liu Qinghuan didn't think they could detect him. He was about to take advantage of the chaos to go back to find Kuhai and others, but suddenly a figure in white appeared in front of him.

"Fellow Taoist, you are polite." The other party bowed to the big tree where he was standing, with an elegant posture and a leisurely tone: "I wonder if we can talk in person?"

After thinking for a while, he added: "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm."

He waited for a moment, and the tree trunk suddenly moved, and the bark arched outward to form a face, which was clearly that of Liu Qinghuan: "Sorry, it's not convenient for me to show up here, so I can only talk through this for the time being. Well... you are Plant demon cultivator?"

The man in white opened his mouth in surprise. After a while, he raised his hand and cast a spell. A few feet in radius was immediately enveloped by a layer of watery light, preventing those scurrying ghosts from approaching. He smiled and said, "That's right... This is the first time I meet someone and I was immediately seen through it. What kind of technique do you...do you practice?"

Liu Qinghuan thought that indeed, seeing that the water cover was only to prevent external disturbance, he did not say a word, but said: "It has nothing to do with the technique, it's just that I am very close to the vegetation, so I feel the rich and essence of the wood energy on your body. That’s all.”

Although the other party is well hidden, he is the Aoki Holy Body and is currently in the art of grafting flowers and wood, so he can see through it at a glance.

It is even more difficult for plants and trees to cultivate into a human body than monsters and beasts. Not only are they extremely fragile, but just opening the level of spiritual wisdom means that most of the flowers, plants and trees in the world can only grow and flourish naturally with the sun, moon, mountains and rivers. Spiritual wisdom is not the same as spiritual wisdom. Some high-grade spiritual grasses and trees also have basic spiritual wisdom, but not spiritual intelligence.

In short, if the grass and trees want to cultivate, in addition to the tree growing into a spirit, they also need some extremely critical opportunities, which are rare. And this person has actually transformed into a human body in such a difficult situation, which cannot be ignored.

However, although the wood energy in his body is extremely pure, it is mixed with a heavy water-like coldness, adding a touch of coldness to his demeanor like the breeze and the bright moon.

While Liu Qinghuan was speculating on the other party's true identity, he asked tentatively: "My surname is Liu, Qinghuan, and my Taoist name is Qingmu. May I ask what your friend's surname is?"

"Zhang, Zhang Xianmiao." He replied, and smiled again: "This was given by someone else after I opened my spiritual wisdom, and I followed that person's surname. Later when I walked in the world, I got another Taoist title, Haoting. Tao.”

He spoke carefully and had no intention of hiding anything.

Liu Qinghuan became more and more confused about the purpose of the other party. If he wanted to fight because he found his traces, there would be no need to talk to him so much: if there was no fight, the other party was obviously with the Ghost King, and the two parties were in a hostile position. It seemed that If there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence, then what is his purpose?

"I wonder if Fellow Taoist Tingtao came to see me, but something happened?"

Zhang Xianmiao slowly flicked his sleeves and raised his eyes: "I just want to ask, are you here for the ghost gate?"

Liu Qinghuan said: "Oh, why do you say that?"

"As soon as you arrived here, you went straight to the ghost gate and wandered around for a long time."

Liu Qinghuan felt secretly in his heart. It seemed that this person had already noticed what he had done before. He thought about it before saying, "So what if it is, so what if it is not."

Zhang Xianmiao said in a calm tone: "Yes, we will have the opportunity to cooperate. If not... then of course there is nothing to say."

An idea flashed in Liu Qinghuan's mind: "You want to open the ghost gate? No, you want to enter the ghost gate!"

After a slight pause, he asked again: "Why?"

Zhang Xianmiao nodded leisurely: "Why, fellow Taoist, can't you see it?"

He waved his hands around: "Although the Innate Ghost Peach Tree is good, Dushuo Mountain is too small. The ghosts in the sky are crowded here, and they are blocked by the Demon Sealing Array, unable to escape, and there is no room to turn over. , Naturally, I want to find a bigger place to run wild. "

"Really?" Liu Qinghuan said: "That's just the situation of those ghosts, and you are a demon, and the demon-sealing array has no effect on you, so why do you want to enter the ghost gate?"

"Hahaha." Zhang Xianmiao laughed and shook his head: "Fellow Taoist Qingmu is indeed very quick in mind. As for me..."

His laughter suddenly stopped and his expression returned to a calm expression: "I have my own reasons, which are not trivial. You just need to know that if you are here to open the door of hell, we don't have to fight to the death, and we can cooperate. "

"Even so, you can attack the ghost gate yourself."

"Haha, if we could fight, why would we still be here?"

Zhang Xianmiao looked back at the arched gate not far away, which was made up of the branches of the innate ghost peach tree, and said, "Didn't you see those ghosts walking around the ghost gate? Dushuo Mountain connects the ghost worlds in all directions. If the ghost gate is opened casually, the world will be in chaos, and the ghosts will come to the human world to cause trouble? So this gate is sealed by the gods, and no ghosts can approach it. "

"God General?!" Liu Qinghuan exclaimed.

"Don't be scared, it's just a legend." Zhang Xianmiao curled her lips: "Why don't gods and generals fail? If even the immortal capital Wan'er has not seen a shadow for eight thousand years, how can the gods be restored? I have tried it, as long as A few more monks with your level of cultivation will definitely be able to forcefully open the gate of hell."

Liu Qinghuan was silent, and after thinking for a while, he said, "How can I believe your words?"

"This is easy to handle." Zhang Xianmiao said: "You and I will go and call my two friends back now. Let's stop the war first and let's discuss it later."

The wooden eyes on the tree trunk looked at him steadily, as if measuring the authenticity of his words.

Zhang Xianmiao let him look at him with all his glory, and said with a smile: "Does Taoist Qingmu think I'm lying to you? Or do you have no confidence in yourself and can't escape when surrounded by ghosts?"

"You don't have to provoke me." Liu Qinghuan said, walking out of the tree: "I only believe in my own judgment."

Zhang Xianmiao shrugged, but there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Then let's go."

He waved his hand to remove the water cover, and the ghosts wandering nearby immediately spotted Liu Qinghuan and rushed over with howls.

Liu Qinghuan reached out and touched the center of his eyebrows, and when he swung it out, he heard a series of miserable screams. No matter how big or small the ghosts were, they all had small holes on their foreheads.

But he saw a small gray sword disappearing and reappearing among the ghosts, causing grief everywhere it passed without mercy.

Zhang Xianmiao smiled helplessly, making a strange whistle from his mouth, stopped the ghost that was about to rush forward, and took the lead in rushing towards the direction where Cuixu and others disappeared.

Liu Qinghuan followed him, looking at the ghosts and ghosts that gathered around him and bared their teeth at him but did not dare to attack, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that the development of the situation tonight was completely beyond his expectation.

Not long after, the commotion in front became louder and louder. It was the scene where Cuixu and the two were entangled by the Ghost King and the Corpse Demon and fought.

Before he even got close, Zhang Xianmiao let out another long roar, and saw the Ghost King turning around and yelling ferociously when he saw Liu Qinghuan, not knowing what he was talking about.

As the two talked to each other, the corpse demon on the other side also stopped, and Cuixu flew over: "Fellow Daoist Liu, why are you talking to...who is this person?"

Liu Qinghuan told what happened before, and the other party was very surprised and shouted loudly: "Cooperation?!"
