The air was filled with purple-black fog with a strong smell. It was thick in some places and thin in others. Visibility fluctuated, but there were almost no intact houses within sight. There were ruins everywhere and a deep silence.

Suddenly, he came to his senses and touched the things on his body, and found that he was still wearing the green shirt, and the mustard seed ring, flying light sword, formation plate and other items were all on his body.

'Unlike the Jiang Family Compound, I came in my physical body this time... Last time, I got the Emperor's Covenant from that special state.'

Is the spiritual realm a real space?

Fang Xiwen was shocked. He held Feiguang in his hand and took two steps out of the ruins to see what was going on.

Suddenly, the space beside him fluctuated, and a familiar breath came. Glancing sideways, he saw a plain green robe.

A strong light burst out from his eyes, and he was overjoyed: "Sword Immortal, are you okay——"

"Ok?"

The girl turned around, her bright eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiwen, you are here!"

"?"

"What did you call me just now? Where is this?"

...

...

not long ago.

The two of them were getting along nicely on the bed in his room, but Fang Xiwen suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even with Luo Qingni's super strong intuition, she couldn't find any trace of him, which scared the latter to death.

He immediately searched all over the bedside table, almost dying of anxiety, when suddenly a line of words popped up in front of him: [Da Congming invites Luo Qingni to explore the spiritual realm, do you agree? ]

Seeing this, she clicked confirm without thinking; Xiwen would definitely not harm her.

Then, in a flash, she arrived at this magical place and saw the missing him at a glance.

"You have such a strange expression, what's wrong?" Luo Qingni was a little confused.

"No...how did you get in?" Fang Xiwen was shocked.

He ran over and touched the girl's body for a while, which made Luo Qingni blush and push him away in anger. The latter slapped herself in the face, which was very painful.

“It’s true…”

"What are you doing?" Luo Qingni came up to him and rubbed his face distressedly, "I'm not angry..."

"That's not the problem."

It would be fine if he came in physically, but why did the silly girl come with him?

Chapter 175: The Contract with Water Moon Fairy

In the spiritual realm, the light was dim and thick fog was everywhere, and it was impossible to tell day or night.

The two stood side by side on the ruins.

Luo Qingni had a curious look on her face as she looked around; Fang Xiwen had a serious expression on his face as he checked the operating panel.

The target of [Spiritual Realm Exploration] is not the Sword Immortal, but a silly girl. Why...

"Qing Ni, how did you get in?"

"You invited me with your jade pendant." As she spoke, she took out a piece of warm green jade and held it in her palm to show him.

After being stunned for a while, Fang Xiwen took a long time to recall: this was when the two of them just met, he wanted to use Luo Qingni to disguise the purpose of giving her the sword. He was afraid that she would be affected, so he pretended to use it to bribe her, but in fact it was a secret treasure for protection that could block an attack from Wai Jing.

Later on, he lied to her and said it was a tool for long-distance communication;

The silly girl naturally believed it, so she carried it with her every day and hung it on her hand when taking a bath.

"Oh, you received the invitation and accepted it?"

"Yes." She was a little proud. Look how much I believe in you.

But even if she agreed to the invitation, she still couldn't explain why the direction changed.

Could it be that because Luo Qingni happened to be at the entrance of the spiritual realm, she became the person to be invited?

What about the others? What if Sister and Xingchu are also at the entrance?

Is Lingjing a group dungeon?

Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Luo Qingni tactfully did not disturb him, but just stood on tiptoe and looked around.

Everything here is in ruins, the sky is dark, there are dark clouds everywhere, and the sun is nowhere to be seen; underfoot are the ruins of houses, and there is not a single intact building as far as the eye can see, and it is pitch black in the distance, as if the border has been eaten by something.

Xiwen is really amazing. He can enter the secret realm even at home.

"I can't figure it out. Let's look around first." He interrupted his thinking, took two steps with Fei Guang, and Luo Qingni hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while, she found something familiar and couldn't help asking, "Where is this?"

“…It’s our home.”

After a while, Fang Xiwen managed to utter these words.

"?"

Seeing that the silly girl was full of confusion, he told her everything he knew in detail.

He had entered the spiritual realm once in the Jiang family compound.

After entering from the entrance, it is a place that is almost exactly the same as the real place, except that everything is mottled and peeling, as if it has been many years, and the owner fled in a hurry, so the altar is not opened;

Therefore, his guess at that time was that the spiritual realm was related to reality, and perhaps because of the difference in the speed of time flow, there was a completely different scene.

Here, the relationship becomes clear:

It is known that in the Sword Immortal's experience, Luo Ting and his wife died in her world line, and this place is a silent ruin - could that spiritual realm be the world she is in?

He told Luo Qingni his guess, which made her dizzy and her big eyes were about to show spiral lines.

"I may, seem to, should... understand a little bit."

"To put it simply, our family may become like this in the future." Fang Xiwen made a simple and rough conclusion, "This represents a possibility in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

"!" Luo Qingni's little face suddenly became serious and she nodded vigorously.

The family is in debt and can’t pay it back, so the house is demolished?

"Well, you still don't understand; let's go on, maybe we can find some clues."

"Well, I will protect you."

Although she didn't understand, Luo Qingni felt a little excited when she walked to his side with the sword in hand.

It’s fun to be with Xiwen every day, but adventure exploration like this is also great; although it’s not a journey of fighting with swords in the martial arts world, it seems more interesting!

The two of them circled around, and because of the thick fog, it always made people feel like they were just going around in circles;

The ominous aura became stronger and stronger. In order to deal with the possible attack, Fang Xiwen took out the two square array plates of Lihuo and Minglei from the mustard seed ring and held them in his left hand, while in his right hand he held the top-grade weapon "Fei Guang".

Although the precious weapon given by Wang Ningzhu is very powerful, it consumes too much energy and is not sufficient for daily use.

Seeing his expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Luo Qingni also became serious. She took out a long sword with the glow of moonlight, and a very faint black and white color flashed in her eyes.

This nameless town was in complete ruins. The originally tall and wide houses were reduced to broken walls, exposing the rooms like the exposed internal organs of a monster.

"There is no smell of blood, and no corpses are seen...Have the people who originally lived here migrated?" Fang Xiwen narrowed his eyes.

The situation is somewhat similar to that of the Jiang Family Compound, the difference being that the buildings in the former are well preserved, while these have been completely destroyed.

"It should be," Luo Qingni blinked, "There is no trace of life anywhere, and I can't feel any vitality. No one has been here for a long time."

She was a little puzzled. Did her parents move away in the future?

The two began to search in the ruins of the "Luo Family Compound". As soon as they pushed aside a stone slab, Luo Qingni's face turned dark.

She pulled out a piece of cloth from underneath and held it up. There was a mandarin duck embroidered on it.

"This is…"

"It's the underwear that mother knitted for me." Luo Qingni's eyes became sharp.

The cloth had faded and torn, and one could only barely make out the pattern on it; there was no doubt that this was something woven stitch by stitch by Luo's mother.

"The cross-section is too rough, as if it was bitten off by something." Fang Xiwen made a guess, feeling a little chilled.

There were no living people, no corpses; maybe they had migrated, or maybe...the corpses had been disposed of by something. He looked towards the ominous fog.

"My little sister likes this dress the most, she will not throw it away!" Seeing the real thing, Luo Qingni finally understood.

Does this place represent their possible future?

“…Don’t think too much, your uncle and aunt are still having the reunion dinner now.” Fang Xiwen comforted.

But in fact, he knew that this was probably not the future, but the past that had already happened - the land where the sword immortal was born.

After staring at the cloth for a long time, Luo Qingni finally put it away and walked forward.

Maybe there's still something to be found here, but there's no need to.

"That's my fourth uncle's home. He has a small vegetable garden in the yard. He often sends us lentils that he grows. They're delicious."

"That's the private school where my little sister studied. The teacher was an old scholar who would occasionally hit people on the palm with a stick."

"That's the stage where we watched the play. We were sitting there."

The girl's voice was very low. Even though she knew it was not true, she still felt a little blocked in her heart when she saw the scene; Fang Xiwen felt even worse.

These are things that the sword immortal has experienced.

Put yourself in the sword fairy’s perspective and think about how she would feel when the two of them were having fun happily?

"How terrible," Luo Qingni bit her lip and shook her head vigorously, "I don't want my home to become like this."

“It won’t change.”

Hearing this, the girl suddenly turned around and looked at him steadily: "This is the reason why Xiwen practices, right?"

As the person who knows him best in the world today, Luo Qingni knows that he has no ambition to conquer the world or compete for supremacy in the Central Plains. At most, he is content with a small fortune.

And it is this kind of person who has to get up early every day to practice sword, seek her for discussion and guidance, and read books on formations and make summaries every night... It's as if something is chasing him.

"Not only that, perhaps this is also the reason why I came to this world." He nodded and smiled slightly.

The miserable scene here touched him a little, but he mainly felt sorry for the sword fairy, nothing else mattered;
