Chapter 6 The Mysterious Bamboo Forest
In the south of the Ancient Xuan Domain, there are seventy-two huge mountain ranges, layer by layer, like seventy-two great dragons lying horizontally.
The Ghost Mountain Range, located in the extreme south of the Ancient Xuan Domain, runs 780 million miles from east to west, among which there are countless peaks and abyssal rivers. There are 100,000 peaks of 100,000 meters, and there are 100,000 rivers that grow for hundreds of millions of miles, so there are ghost mountains and are called "100,000 rivers and mountains".
The terrain in the mountains is treacherous, with thousands of cliffs and miasma valleys, so it is sparsely populated, and sometimes it is rare to see people for thousands of miles.
"Ah......h
Two streams of light swept through the sky, and with a bang, they fell into a dense forest of ancient trees, startling a group of birds, and then flapping their wings and falling after a while.
"The old guy was so bad that my stomach almost jumped out. ”
"I'm missing one of my shoes. ”
"The clothes were also scraped off, but luckily there was still one trouser left......
......
Guo Yi only had a palm-sized trouser left on his body, and it was still tattered, so he could barely keep it from going out. Guo Lu was not much better than him, his lower body was wrapped in a few rags, and the shoe on his left foot fell somewhere.
"Could it be the Ancient Xuan Domain?"
Guo Yi felt that the air around him was cool, the four meridians and eight veins seemed to be breathing, and the whole person was full of strength. In such an environment, the cultivation speed had to be increased by at least five layers.
The air here is like a spirit, and it can automatically burrow into and out of the skin.
The surrounding ancient trees are towering to the sky, hundreds of meters high, and some even thousands of meters, as if they are about to be inserted into the clouds and connected to the sky. The purple, red, and cyan trees, with a diameter of seven or eight meters, completely blocked the view, and they grew for an unknown number of thousands of years.
On top of the ancient tree, a large red bird several meters long flew and chirped, and the sound was so loud that it shook the eardrums. Nests the size of houses can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of spirit birds fly in and out, some with three bird heads, some with four pairs of wings, and some with flames burning all over their bodies. There are even strange birds that are five meters long, covered with scales, and full of fangs.
Guo Lu felt numb in his heart, everything he saw in front of him was too unreasonable.
Guo Yi was also shocked by the scene in front of him, but he began to look for a way out, this place is very strange, and he must get out as soon as possible.
"After being swept away by the old bastard, I seemed to see an eternal star, each one so far away, that I wanted to see a chain thicker than the stars across the starry sky, but as soon as I turned around, an infinite continent appeared in my field of vision, and then crashed into a huge mirror, and then came here. ”
"Are we being swept from one star to another, or from one end of a vast void land to the other?"
"I think we should have arrived in the Ancient Xuan Domain. Guo Lu looked at the five-meter-long, scaly strange bird, and his heart fluttered, and said, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible! Guo Lu's voice became quieter and quieter, because the strange bird covered in scales, folded its wings, and walked over to this side step by step.
"Run!"
There were more and more strange cries around, and countless big birds were gathering, full of hatred, which directly frightened the two of them into earth.
"Holy shit, do you want to live, what the hell is this place?"
After all, Guo Lu is the body of a martial saint, and his speed is not much faster than Guo Yi.
Guo Yi was carried on his back by Guo Lu, escaping in the mountains and forests, a group of birds chased wildly behind, and a stone flew out of the bird's claws from time to time, hitting Guo Yi with a bag on his head.
It wasn't until noon that the two of them got rid of the siege of the birds, and at this time Guo Lu was already panting like a cow, even the body of the martial saint was lying on the ground tired, and he didn't want to move. Guo Yi's body was blue and purple, all of which were smashed by stones thrown by strange birds, and he grinned in pain.
The water was murmuring, and a small stream flowed under their feet, and the water was as sweet as nectar, and after drinking it, the whole body was refreshed. The bluestone in the stream is like jade, transparent and crystalline, and the swimming fish are clearly visible. The hungry two naturally had another full meal.
"If you go down the stream, you will definitely see people. ”
The stream flows through the mountains, and I don't know where it leads, and along the way there are strange rocks and forests, and ancient trees cover the sky, but it seems that there is no end to it.
The two of them had been walking for three days, almost more than 300 miles, and the two of them hurried quickly during the day, and meditated and practiced by the stream at night.
For three days, Guo Yi practiced the "Great Martial Arts Sutra" every night, and he had completely stabilized the realm of the third layer, and he could easily play the eighteen-style Great Martial Arts Fist, no longer as hard as before.
"Huh, what's the smell?"
A faint fragrance lingered on the tip of Guo Yi's nose, just smelling the smell made people feel that the breath was growing, and the cultivation was slowly increasing.
"It's a bit like the taste of bamboo, no, it's a little different, bamboo can't have such a strong fragrance, medicinal fragrance!"
"Is there any elixir around here?"
Guo Yi was excited, he still remembered what the old blind man once said. One living spirit grass is equivalent to 10,000 spirit grass seeds. One spirit grass seed is equivalent to 10,000 taels of gold, and the value of a living spirit grass is not equivalent to 10,000 taels of gold. Such a large amount of wealth, even for the previous Heavenly King's Mansion, was not a small amount.
"What's the fragrance?" Guo Lu didn't smell anything for a long time.
Guo Yi touched his nose and looked for the source of the fragrance. Walking through a dense forest of ancient trees, the front suddenly becomes open, and the whole world seems to open up.
Guo Lu shouted: "There really is a bamboo forest!"
The ancient trees disappeared, and the green bamboos the thickness of buckets connected to the depths of the bamboo forest, making it a sea of bamboo. Each pillar is crystal clear, as if carved from jasper, and on the ground is a layer of green grass, each grass is exactly the same, less than three inches high, like a green carpet.
Occasionally, you can see white strange stones in the bamboo forest, some of these strange stones are like "scholars sitting and reading", some are like "strange beasts looking at the moon", some are like "birds singing", some are like "endgame chess table", and even some are like big swords, like giant swords. The tallest ones are tens of meters high, like a building, and some are only the size of a person, lifelike.
"Could it be that we have broken into the retreat of some immortal cultivator?"
"These strange stones are all naturally formed, there is no trace of artificial carving, and I don't know which strange person can find so many strange stones. ”
After walking in this mysterious bamboo forest for a day, both of them were already tired, but they didn't see the shadow of the spirit grass. At this time, the sky was completely dark, Guo Lu cut some bamboo branches and set up a fire next to the stone statue. The crackling sound of the bamboo branches burning, emitting bursts of bamboo fragrance.
"Did the young master smell this fragrance in the creek?"
"It's different!" Guo Yi shook his head and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest in the night, and the smell of medicine came from that direction. The periphery is so weird, I don't know what is hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest?
Guo Lu got some bamboo shoots, and after breaking them, they still contained milky white spiritual liquid. After the entrance, it is like drinking the elixir and jade dew, and the delicacy is difficult to express.
Guo Lu screamed: "After drinking, my arm seems to have a trace of vitality, is this a healing spiritual spring?"
The aura here is rich, and every grass and tree has been spiritualized, although it has not yet reached the medicinal power of the real spirit grass, but it is also a treasure of heaven and earth, and it can be sold at a sky-high price if it is brought back to the Yunxin Empire.
Guo Yi drank a sip of bamboo liquid, only to feel that the strength of his whole body seemed to have increased a lot.
"The strength has increased by about thirty pounds. ”
Each time the "Great Martial Scripture" is raised, the arm strength increases by 100 catties. Guo Yi is now the third layer of the "Great Martial Scripture", and his arm strength is three hundred catties, just by drinking a sip of the liquid in this bamboo shoot, he has increased by thirty catties, and no one dares to believe it, I am afraid that he will soon be able to break through the realm of the fourth layer of the "Great Martial Scripture".
In the depths of the bamboo forest, it is getting quieter and quieter, and the bamboos are getting thicker and thicker, with a diameter of almost one meter, and each tree is more than 100 meters high.
Guo Yi and Guo Lu walked in the bamboo forest for a month, almost 3,000 miles, the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger, people were like soaking in a medicinal spring, but there was still no trace of the spirit grass.
Guo Yi entered the realm quickly, jumped two steps in a month, and entered the fifth layer of the "Great Martial Scripture", of course, it is inseparable from the effect of bamboo shoot liquid, otherwise he would not have reached this level even if it was a year.
Bamboo shoot liquid, after all, failed to defy the sky, after drinking it once, the effect is getting smaller and smaller, and now the effect is even more minimal. On the contrary, the effect on Guo Lu's hands is quite obvious, Guo Lu has to drink hundreds of bamboo shoots every day for a month, and now his hands have been able to move freely, except that the meridians have not been completely interrupted, almost intact.
"It feels so good to stretch out my hands, I will definitely use these hands to abolish that old bastard of Tailing Old Ancestor. ”
Guo Lu was in a good mood, and he was still carrying more than a dozen bamboo knots on his back, which were full of bamboo shoot liquid, and in order to recover his arm as soon as possible, he almost didn't stop.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, there are fewer and fewer strange stones, but they are getting bigger and bigger, some are more than a thousand meters high, like a stone mountain. The vast white fog gradually thickened, and after dozens of miles, the fog became even bigger, and only things within ten meters could be seen.
The grass on the ground is gone, the birds are gone, and the stones are gone. There are only bamboo forests, white mist, and sparse footsteps.
"Who?"
Guo Lu was shocked and said: "I saw two shadows flashing just now, one red and one white, the fog is too big, I didn't see what they looked like." ”
Guo Yi said: "I didn't hear footsteps. ”
"It can't be a ghost, right?" Guo Lu trembled with fright, and felt that the surroundings were suddenly full of ghosts, as if countless powerful ghosts were eyeing him.
