第46章 是你?
The two of them fell quickly. Under Lu Sangjiu's puzzled eyes, he suddenly touched his forehead with two fingers.
A ray of light flashed between his eyebrows, and a soft, almost transparent mask fell off his face and was held in his palm.
The moment the mask came off, Lu Sangjiu looked at the face that was completely different from before, couldn't help but look shocked, and blurted out: "...It's you?!"
Although he was clearly in a critical situation, he didn't panic. Hearing Lu Sangjiu's words, he just smiled gently at her.
"Fellow Daoist Lu finally recognized me. I haven't seen you for a while. I hope you are fine."
The mask came off, and his voice changed. Compared with the previous sound, which was a little familiar, Lu Sangjiu recognized it directly this time.
Surprise showed on her face for the second time, "...Xie Ningyuan!"
This face was different from the Xie Ningyuan she saw last time. Now that he had taken off the mask, she thought this was his true appearance.
Although she had known for a long time that Xie Ningyuan had used magic weapons to change his appearance, she never imagined that...under the mask, it would be this face!
However, Xie Ningyuan did not notice her second surprise at this time, because he was chanting a spell in front of the transparent mask.
As the spell stopped, the mask suddenly grew in size, covering the two of them like a quilt.
Lu Sangjiu clearly felt that after being covered by the mask, her and Xie Ningyuan's breath disappeared almost instantly.
The roar of the dragon below the cliff couldn't help but freeze for a moment, as if wondering why the prey that was just about to reach its mouth suddenly disappeared?
After Xie Ningyuan concealed the auras of the two of them, he took out a long whip, flicked it, and hooked it on a raised stone on the cliff not far away.
The two men immediately stopped falling and hung directly on the cliff.
At this point, Lu Sangjiu finally recovered from the series of surprises just now.
She couldn't help but glance at Xie Ningyuan again, but she was full of questions, and finally she only asked, "...Why save me?"
Xie Ningyuan turned to look at her, his delicate and beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, with a gentle smile, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Lu already know that I am a Buddhist cultivator? Buddhist cultivators are inherently compassionate, do you need any other reasons to save people? "
Lu Sangjiu twitched the corners of his mouth subtly, thinking that he might not have needed it before, but judging from his performance at Luoya Mountain last time... he needed it too much now.
Speaking of which, his original appearance at this time is more deceptive than his changed appearance last time.
His face is very handsome, and his eyes are crystal clear, giving people the illusion of being very pure and kind.
Although I didn't know him very well before, I felt that he should be able to say that he was the same as he was at that time.
Now... I haven't seen him for hundreds of years, and I don't know what happened to this person. Why has he changed so much?
It's a pity that no matter how many questions she has, she can't even ask them in her current status.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Sangjiu finally calmed down from the complicated mood of seeing his old friend.
"Anyway, thank you for coming to the rescue."
After speaking, without waiting for his answer, Lu Sangjiu looked at the surrounding environment and naturally changed the subject, "So... what should we do now?"
Now that she knows Xie Ningyuan's true identity, to be on the safe side, she might as well not use her trump card.
Anyway, if it was him, his cultivation would be at least in the late stage of becoming a god, and he must have hidden his cultivation before.
Now, even if she is suppressed by the secret realm to the foundation-building stage, she is definitely not someone to be trifled with. She just waits and cuddles her with peace of mind.
Xie Ningyuan had been observing the surroundings just now and had already chosen a place to stay.
He didn't say anything, but answered his question with actions.
As soon as their hands were loosened, the two fell some distance again.
Soon, he used the whip to stabilize his figure again, and then with a slight swing, the two of them landed lightly in the depression on the cliff.
The gap here is almost enough for two people to stand.
The feeling of landing on the ground was not very good. Lu Sangjiu felt a little more at ease, and then lowered his head and looked down.
Before, we were not close enough to the bottom of the cliff, and our view was blocked by clouds and fog.
At this moment, the two of them were already near the bottom and finally had a clear view of the situation below.
I saw a huge black thing lying at the bottom of the cliff. It looked like a dragon but not a dragon, and it looked like a snake but not a snake.
Soon, Lu Sangjiu said in surprise, "This is... the giant python that failed to transform into a dragon?"
Although it has begun to take on the appearance of a dragon, when you feel its breath, it has not yet become a dragon, and it seems to have been injured.
Xie Ningyuan gave a faint "Hmm" and said, "There are rules suppressing the secret realm. It is obviously impossible for it to break through the rules and transform into a dragon to advance."
Lu Sangjiu observed it for a moment, then frowned, "Although it failed, it is already in a state infinitely close to the fifth level at this time... We'd better not provoke it."
The white jade toad just now was difficult to deal with mainly because of its extremely poisonous nature.
And this giant python is not poisonous, its cultivation level is only a little higher than that of the white jade toad, and it was injured again.
If Lu Sangjiu and Xie Ningyuan team up, they can still win with some trouble.
But they have already disappeared, so of course it is better to do less than to do more.
After all, she was still thinking about rushing to the center of the secret realm. If she stayed here for too long, she might be slowed down by Ye Zhiyao again.
Fortunately, Xie Ningyuan was not someone who liked to cause trouble. He did not refute Lu Sangjiu's words. He just said "hmm" and said, "Let's repair it for a while and then climb up together."
Although they can't fly, the immortal cultivators have strong physiques. As long as the mask can shield them from the dragon and prevent them from being discovered by the dragon, it is not difficult to climb up.
At this time, the place is small and it is impossible to meditate. I can only stand there and swallow the elixir to restore my state.
After a while, Lu Sangjiu suddenly thought of the Wanyang Pill and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, I also want to ask, last time... why did you give the Wanyang Pill to me?"
Xie Ningyuan replied very casually: "Looking at how many times you wanted to take it, you probably need it very much. It was just a casual thing, so I took it for you."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
She was severely hurt by this "easy thing".
God knows what she went through in order to get the Wanyang Pill. It is not an exaggeration to say that she had a near-death experience, but she still failed in the end.
Why did it become so easy to get to Xie Ningyuan's place?
She couldn't understand it and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Then...don't you feel anything special when you hold it?"
Xie Ningyuan tilted his head, his innocent-looking face looked very confused, "Special feeling? What do you mean?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
That means no more.
She sighed heavily in her heart, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing...but Wanyang Pill is a seventh-level elixir. Since fellow Taoist took it, why didn't you keep it for yourself instead of giving it to me?"
