Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 346
Luo Qingli looked around, and saw that the crystal forest was still the same as what he had just seen. Xiao Wu was lying quietly beside her, as if he was having a sweet dream.

She called out several times, but Xiao Wu didn't respond. Luo Qingli had no choice but to use his consciousness to gently stab at the spiritual beast contract between them.

The next moment, Xiao Wu wrinkled his face, woke up suddenly, and asked blankly: "What, what's wrong?"

Lu Heng smiled and flicked the sharp horn on its head, "You are asleep and dreaming."

Then he stretched out his hand to pull Luo Qingli up from the ground, and heard her ask: "If I didn't wake up, what were you going to do just now?"

Lu Heng told the truth: "I'm going to slap you awake."

"..."

Lu Heng spread his palms with an innocent look on his face, "I can't help it. You can't wake up no matter how you scream, so I can only try to apply external stimulation. Do you think Xiao Wu will wake up now?"

Luo Qingli pursed her thin lips slightly and frowned as she recalled what had just happened.

The sacred tree plaque hanging around his neck showed no response. Everything before was not like an illusion, but more like what Lu Heng said, his consciousness sank and he had a dream.

But that dream was too real. If it weren't for the pair of peace charms given by Juehui, she might not have realized the problem so quickly.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingli picked up the Peace Talisman again, but this time when the Peace Talisman lit up, the one on Lu Heng's waist also reacted.

Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's true now." He touched his chin and suddenly became curious, "Junior sister, what did you see in your dream?"

"It's nothing." Since they are all false, there is no need to mention them again.

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and hummed: "Even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess that it is probably related to me, and you should have killed that 'me' in return."

Seeing her looking over, Lu Heng said calmly: "Don't be surprised, my situation is not much different from yours."

This time Luo Qingli was curious, "How...how did you identify it?"

Lu Heng woke up earlier than she did.

To be honest, the fake Lu Heng is almost exactly the same as the real one in terms of appearance, demeanor and movements, except for some slight differences in some details and habits.

No matter when and where, Lu Heng would give her his back and give her complete trust. It was rare to stand behind her like that.

It was also at that time that she felt something strange, and it was finally confirmed in front of the Peace Talisman and Poliang.

"It's probably like the first time it's new, the second time it's familiar."

Lu Heng smiled playfully, "I don't think I mentioned it to you before. After we got separated in Haishi, Mo Huo and Xiao Wu and I encountered a special kind of monster that could transform into a human form. They turned into you. There are other people, and there’s nothing unusual about their appearance, but Xiao Wu and I can recognize that it’s not you at a glance.”

Xiao Wu did it because of the spirit beast contract, and as for Lu Heng, it was because he was unique in identifying human breath and was more sensitive than a dog's nose, so those disguises had no effect in front of him.

Luo Qingli understood and didn't ask any more questions. He put Xiao Wu back into the spirit beast bag and glanced inside again.Ah Li curled up into a ball of fur and huddled in the corner, no matter how little Wu stretched out his flippers and fiddled with it, there was no response.Luo Qingli originally thought that Ah Li was dreaming like Xiao Wu, but later he discovered that Ah Li had closed off the five senses and six consciousnesses on his own initiative.

Previously in the dream, Ahri was disturbed by the fluctuations here, and she guided it to close her five senses and six consciousnesses, but in reality, she had clearly never done such a thing...

Is it possible that the dream may not all be false?
Or is this so-called reality in front of us not entirely true?

Luo Qingli was a little confused again.

She closed her eyes and opened her eyes again. The eyeball of her right eye turned blue, and she scanned the crystal forest inch by inch, but in the end she found nothing.

Lu Heng said: "This place is a bit weird, but the strong aura of wind spirit here is the only one I have seen in my life. Maybe there really is a heart of wind spirit. Let's take a look around first."

Luo Qingli nodded in agreement.

The flowing light of the wind spirit shuttled aimlessly through the crystal forest, but after walking for a while, the two found that the flowing light began to surge in a common direction. They looked at each other and followed the flowing light in tacit understanding.

The crystal forest became more and more sparse, and eventually it was a large open space. In the center stood a giant crystal tree dozens of feet high. The branches were stretched out and graceful, like a perfect statue, and the streams of light in the sky disappeared one after another. Inside this giant crystal tree.

But the most surprising thing is that there are several figures under this giant crystal tree.

Luo Qingli looked surprised, and Lu Heng never expected that besides them, there would be other people in this place.

There are a total of four people in this group, three men and one woman. Among them is a bald Buddhist cultivator who looks like he is a Zen cultivator. A tall and powerful male cultivator looks like he is a physical cultivator. The other man is tall and has a good appearance. Zhou Zheng looked elegant, and the only woman was also pretty with red lips and white teeth.

Without exception, these people are all in the Golden Elixir stage, among them Big Guy has the highest cultivation level, the late Golden Elixir stage, Buddha is in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir stage of Wen Wen Gongzi, and the female cultivator, like Luo Qingli, is also in the early stage of the Golden Elixir.

Lu Heng was puzzled. They crossed the endless sea and entered the area of ​​​​the chaotic sea, and then arrived at the sea within the sea from the area of ​​​​the chaotic sea. After exploring in the wind tunnel for so long, they finally got here, and the hardships were various. Even without the Vajra Mantra and the guiding paper crane presented by Zen Master Wu Jian, they would not be able to enter the sea within the sea at all.

For these four people to get here, at least it will not be easy.

"That Buddhist cultivator..." Luo Qingli saw the upright bald monk under the tree from a distance. At first glance, he thought he looked familiar, but after taking a closer look, the illusion of familiarity disappeared.

She knew very few Buddhist cultivators, so she had probably never seen this person before.

When they saw these people, the group also saw them.

The highest-level physical practitioner raised his eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Who are you!"

Lu Heng and Luo Qingli exchanged a look, and both stepped forward. Lu Heng cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Taoists, I am in the lower land of Chengfeng. This is my junior sister. We encountered a storm on the sea and strayed into this place. We are now trapped. Trapped in the forest, looking for a way out, never thinking that there would be other people here."

As he spoke, he looked at the expressions of those people and smiled: "It's great to meet all of you fellow Taoists now. My brother and sister are worried that they can't find a way out and don't know what to do. How can these fellow Taoists What did you find?"

The purpose of these people's visit was unclear. Of course, Lu Heng would not directly state his purpose, and his words were half-truths and half-falsehoods.
