Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

Two people crawled out of the secret passage.

"This way." Jingxing quickly determined the direction and walked over there with Qin Zhen.

However, no matter how hard Qin Zhen looked, she could only see a wasteland that was exactly the same as the entrance, and even more desolate than the entrance.

Could there really be a village in a place like this?

The two men continued to move forward, but no matter how they walked, they still couldn't see a single person, let alone a village.

We are clearly moving forward, but we are standing still...

"I always feel like we have overlooked something." Qin Zhen felt vaguely that there was something she hadn't figured out, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember what it was.

Jingxing didn't say anything, but was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally suggested, "Let's go to the altar and take a look."

"it is good."

There was no better choice at the moment. Coincidentally, Qin Zhen was also very interested in the ceremony Xiao Yan mentioned, so she agreed without hesitation.

When the two arrived at the altar that Jingxing mentioned, quite a few people had already gathered there.

There are also a few familiar faces among them, they are all from Miaoyin Pavilion.

"You two, have you gained anything?" Elder Qi greeted Qin Zhen and the others when he saw them.

Qin Zhen obediently approached Elder Qi and shook her head sincerely: "It can't be called a harvest. The things that were lost yesterday were returned. Although it's only a small part, it can still be considered a harvest."

As soon as these words were spoken, several monks who had been listening intently to get the news felt helpless.

What kind of harvest is this?

It would be fine for others, but they, the Poyun Sect, were said to be so poor that there were not even any wild vegetables left on the mountain. Now they had lost something and couldn't find it again. They were so unlucky.

Elder Qi couldn't help but look at Qin Zhen with sympathy when he heard this, and comforted her: "It's okay, there is always gain after loss, maybe your great opportunity is still to come."

"Well, I accept Elder Qi's good words."

Looking at the black iron in his Qiankun Ring, Qin Zhen also felt that this was a great opportunity.

"You, kid, have a good attitude."

Elder Qi liked Qin Zhen's mentality and simply gave Qin Zhen three more Pei Yuan Dan. "I saw you were injured before, so take this and eat it. Don't try to be stubborn."

"Thank you, Elder Qi." Qin Zhen accepted it generously.

But I silently made a note of it in my heart, waiting to repay you in the future.

"Okay, I won't keep you here any longer. You and your brother can go look around."

"Ah."

Qin Zhen knew that Elder Qi did not want to share their findings from Miaoyin Pavilion, so she was very understanding and did not ask any further questions.

She looked at this so-called altar. How should I put it? It was completely different from what she had imagined.

If Qin Zhen hadn't had the preconceived notion that this was an altar, she probably wouldn't have thought about it that way at all.

This is a bare earth dam, surrounded by withered weeds and a lot of stones piled up in a circle.

Moreover, these stones are not even regular, they are of different sizes and shapes.

Right in front of this earth dam, a tall arch was built with even larger stones.

These stones have been carved into fixed shapes. The stones close to the ground have been carved into layers of sheets. Between each stone, there are small rectangular stones, making these pieces of stone look like open wings when stacked up.

Then the position further up is much simpler, with stone pillars placed crosswise to form a sharp angle.

It is obviously a very simple arch, but because of its weird shape, it gives people a very depressing and uncomfortable feeling.

Below this arch is a two-meter-wide stone platform.

There were white candles placed on the stone platform and the surrounding stones.

Even though it didn't catch fire, it still felt uncomfortable.

"Is there anything in these jars?" Qin Zhen looked at several clay jars neatly placed on the stone platform.

The person who was holding the jar for inspection heard this and handed the jar to her directly.

"See for yourself."

They were very ordinary earthenware jars, nothing special about them. Each one was about an arm's length, not small.

Qin Zhen even picked up the jar and sniffed it carefully, but still found nothing.

And just at this moment, Jingxing spoke again: "The fog is coming again."

The thick white fog enveloped them again, and Qin Zhen subconsciously wanted to grab Jing Xing's sleeve to avoid getting separated.

But who would have thought that what she caught was——

A pair of cold, small hands.

"!!!"

Qin Zhen looked around suddenly, but the fog was too thick and she couldn't see anything clearly.

But that cold hand seemed to have infinite strength, pulling her deeper into the fog.

Qin Zhen wanted to struggle, but she had no strength at all. Even her spiritual power seemed to be sealed and could not be used.

"Qin Zhen!"

At this moment, Qin Zhen's right hand was caught by a warm big hand, and the pleasant scent of Jing Xing came from behind her.

When Qin Zhen came to her senses again, she had returned to the entrance of the secret realm.

And her right hand was surprisingly held in Jingxing's hand.

"Master, Senior Brother, someone just pulled my left hand."

"I know." Jingxing looked unhappy.

Qin Zhen subconsciously followed his line of sight and looked down, and then she saw a black handprint on the back of her left hand, which belonged to a child.

"!"

Qin Zhen raised her hand, but the handprint could not be erased no matter what.

Moreover, Qin Zhen could feel a cool breath continuously flowing into her body where her left hand was touched.

"Senior Brother, did you see clearly what that was?" Qin Zhen looked at Jing Xing and asked calmly.

Jing Xing shook his head: "I only vaguely saw that the thing had a lot of hair, it didn't look like a human, and it seemed to be... lame."

Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

"What's wrong?" Jing Xing couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that Qin Zhen's behavior was completely different from what he expected.

"As long as it's a living thing, it's easy to say."

"What? Junior sister, are you afraid of ghosts?" Jing Xing just found it funny when he heard it.

After all, cultivators have seen all kinds of demons and monsters. Even if they have cultivated to a certain level, their souls can leave their bodies. In a sense, they can be considered ghosts.

Qin Zhen didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but swallowed her saliva, and then replied: "Hahahaha, how is it possible? How could I be afraid of ghosts? Look at what nonsense you are talking about, Second Brother?"

“…”Can it be more obvious?

"You don't understand, this is different." Qin Zhen sighed.

"What is the difference?"

"Because he was a human being in his previous life, he is scary."

Jing Xing had never expected to hear such an answer. He was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and rubbed Qin Zhen's head: "Senior Brother is here. Whether you are a human or a ghost, Senior Brother will protect you."
