Chapter 280: Go West
You have to pay attention to the skill of slipping away, you can't hula go in a group, score batches, go first, go first, go after the main one, Dasha is too big, stay until the end, take off in the air when there are the least pedestrians on the street in the afternoon, fly north first, then lower the height to the west after climbing over a mountain, and pick up four people from the valley to fly low to the west.
I thought it was clever, but I didn't expect to be caught up by Wu Qin soon after the westward journey.
Seeing Wu Qin chasing after him, Wu Zhongyuan was embarrassed, and took the initiative to say without waiting for Wu Qin to speak, "We are going to Gushan to inspect, do we want to go to Jushan?"
Wu Qin naturally knew that Wu Zhongyuan was lying, but he didn't expose it, Wu Zhongyuan is the leader, although he is worried about the safety of the leader, but he can't restrict the freedom of the leader, he didn't come to chase Wu Zhongyuan back this time, but to report the news, just now, there was news in the post field, the bear clan sent more than a dozen wizards and purple qi masters through Da Yu and went north.
Hearing Wu Qin's report, Wu Zhongyuan frowned slightly, Da Chu is the northernmost walled city of the Bear Clan, and further north is the boundary of the Northern Frontier, and the Bear Clan must be doing something very important to send so many purple qi masters to the Northern Frontier.
After a short period of silence, Wu Zhongyuan nodded at Wu Qin, "I know, please go back to Jushan." ”
Wu Qin nodded, took out a prismatic crystal from his bosom and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "You have this crystal containing earth spiritual energy with you, if necessary, you can break it, I can sense it and find it." ”
Wu Zhongyuan reached out to take it after thanking him, and Wu Qin shook his head and sighed and went back.
"Do you want to go to the northern frontier?" Jiang Nan asked.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head in thought and did not answer immediately.
The old blind man said on the side, "The North Pass guarded by Xuanwu Town is located in the northwest of Da Kuo, not in the direction of due north. ”
Before the old blind man spoke, Wu Zhongyuan was really wondering if there was a problem in Beiguan, and when he heard the old blind man say this, he dispelled his doubts, "Forget it, let them go, I have sent people to the three clans before, and told them about the seriousness of the situation, the big war is coming, and they should also be trying to find ways to strengthen their forces and prepare for war." ”
Wu Zhongyuan is the leader, since he has expressed his position, others will not say anything, Dasha carried the four people to continue to the west, this time there is no need to worry about Wu Qin chasing after him, the flight is higher, the low air flow is weaker, and Dasha's low-altitude flight consumes more physical strength.
Four of the ten strange things that the old blind man said before are in the west, one of which is called the purple potato, which is in a sandbar called the Black Cloud Valley in the West Desert, the so-called purple potato, in fact, is the ancestor of the modern potato, although the potato is planted in large quantities in modern times, but the plant itself belongs to the alien species, and there is no one in the Middle Earth.
Few people know that potatoes are the fourth largest food in the world after wheat, rice and corn, this plant has a high yield, and in many places it is a staple food for the poor.
In addition to the purple potato, the remaining three strange things are in the abandoned temple in Kunlun Mountain, namely the amethyst statue without a head, two soul stones and the god of war grass.
He doesn't know how to use the God of War Grass, and he doesn't know what the use of the Soul Stone is, but he does need amethyst metal, since he returned from the Southern Wilderness, he has had dinner with Li Wanzi and others, and during the banquet, he intentionally or unintentionally asked about the amethyst metal used by the bird clan, the amethyst metal used by the bird clan has been melted and divided, and now the original shape can no longer be seen.
In this way, it is impossible to determine whether the amethyst metal used by the bird clan is taken from Kunlun Mountain, and he cannot determine what the image of the headless statue in the abandoned temple is, and he hesitates to go to the abandoned temple in Kunlun Mountain at this time.
The old blind man does not express his opinion when he does not ask the old blind man's opinion, the old blind man is only responsible for providing clues, according to the old blind man, the abandoned temple is located in the north of Kunlun Mountain, and the Black Cloud Valley is in the northwest of Kunlun Mountain, according to the current movement trajectory of everyone, the abandoned temple and the Black Cloud Valley are in a line, go to the Black Cloud Valley, and you will pass through the abandoned temple.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan still couldn't make up his mind, after experiencing the change of the weak water dragon ze, he was much more cautious, he was very suspicious that the abandoned temple was where the beast king was sealed, he was worried that rushing to go there might accelerate the disappearance of the confinement, and he was worried that deliberately avoiding it would miss the opportunity, if it was really where the beast king was sealed, after the beast king got rid of the imprisonment, it would not be so easy to take those two things.
In the end, Wu Zhongyuan still asked the old blind man's opinion, "Sir, should we go to the temple you said to find out?"
The old blind man didn't answer immediately, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "If you can get that Xuanjing statue, you can mix copper and tin to assemble battle armor for thousands of troops." If you can obtain the Soul Stone, you will be able to connect Yin and Yang and resist the ...... of life and death."
When the old blind man said this, Wu Zhongyuan interjected and interrupted him, "What is the connection between yin and yang and resisting life and death? ”
"The soul stone is divided into two stones, yin and yang, white is yang, receiving the qi of heaven and dry, and black is yin, which should be the qi of the earth. Peiyang stone, the body is immortal. Peiyin stone, the original god is immortal. The old blind man said.
Hearing what the old blind man said, Wu Zhongyuan was very moved, "What if you wear it at the same time?"
"When you can connect yin and yang, resist life and death. The old blind man said, and then added, "The Soul Stone is a legendary thing, and no one has ever really owned it, and it is not known whether it is as magical as the legend." As for the god of war grass......"
Wu Zhongyuan interrupted the old blind man's words again, "I know what the God of War Grass is, taking this thing is like killing a chicken to take its eggs, if you don't take it, Mr. only said that we won't go to the broken temple this time." ”
The old blind man said, "There must be fierce things guarding there, and they are not visible to the naked eye, even if they have purple qi, they do not dare to go rashly." ”
"To go or not to go?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Chestnuts from the fire," said the old blind man in a deep voice, "chestnuts taste good, and so does the fire." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, at this time, there was no idiom of picking chestnuts from the fire, what the old blind man said was just a similar metaphor. The world knows that high profits are often accompanied by high risks, and he understands this truth, but this matter seems to be a bit too big for both risk and profit.
The old blind man has never said whether to go or not, which also proves that the old blind man is very smart, a really smart person will not easily take ideas for others, ideas should be left to those who bear the consequences for this matter, and outsiders can only give advice at most.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask any more questions, and the matter was put on hold for the time being, and then he asked about the situation in Kunlun Mountain and the specific situation in Heiyun Valley.
According to the old blind man, there are indeed strange beasts in Kunlun Mountain, but the number is not very large, and it may be well hidden, and he did not find it. The Niu clan is closer to Kunlun Mountain, and they will use some magical herbs and animal inner pills for alchemy, but the Niu clan never goes to Kunlun Mountain, at most only hunting in the periphery.
Heiyun Valley is located in the northwest of Kunlun Mountain, in a quicksand desert, the quicksand desert that the old blind man said should be the Taklamakan Desert in later generations, this is a desert located between Kunlun Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Altun Mountain, what is the situation is not clear now, but in modern times, this desert has more than 300,000 square kilometers, almost one-thirty-second of the total land area.
The same is a desert, the desert and the desert are not the same, the Taklamakan Desert belongs to the mobile desert, the so-called mobile desert is a desert that can run, with the different wind directions, the desert will also move in different directions, under the action of the wind, there will be a lot of pyramid-shaped huge sand dunes piled up by sand in the desert, some of these dunes can be as high as three or four hundred meters, that is, more than a dozen stories high.
This desert is the most dangerous of the desert, and once there is a big storm, there is no place to run. In addition, since the desert shifts with the direction of the wind, and the reference object is not easy to determine, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find a small oasis with a radius of only two miles from the vast desert of more than 300,000 square kilometers.
asked the old blind man if he could find the Black Cloud Valley, and the old blind man replied that he should be able to, this is not good, it should be unsure, so Wu Zhongyuan asked him how sure he was, and the old blind man replied eighty percent.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Jiang Nan and the second child looked at him suspiciously, in the eyes of the two, eighty percent of them were already very sure, and they could go to find it.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at the two, Jiang Nan had never been in contact with the desert before, and the second child had never been to the desert, they didn't know how dangerous this quicksand desert was, in fact, it was not only them, even if they were modern people, they didn't study geography and archaeology and didn't have much understanding of the Taklamakan Desert, but the world knew Pengamu and Lop Nur, Lop Nur was in the Taklamakan Desert, but it was on the eastern edge of the desert, and the Black Cloud Valley that the old blind man said was in the hinterland of the desert. Going to Lop Nur is like playing by the sea, and going to Black Cloud Valley is no different from running to the middle of the sea.
In order to find a few potatoes, he risked his life to go to the quicksand desert, which sounds like a big joke to modern people, but now there is no such plant in the Middle Earth area, not even wild ones, if you want, you can only go to the Black Cloud Valley.
After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to take a risk, and the main reason why he made up his mind to go to the Black Cloud Valley was to have the help of Dasha, who was huge, and could stabilize his position even if he encountered a big storm, and with its protection, everyone would not be blown away by the strong wind, nor would he be buried by quicksand, the most important thing is that Dasha is an insect, it does not need much water, and it can go without eating or drinking for a long time after eating and drinking, and it is more resistant to tossing than camels.
Although everyone came out this time for business, but also with a leisurely tour, in modern Wu Zhongyuan has not been far away, no opportunity to visit the motherland's great rivers and mountains, this time finally caught the opportunity, but at this time in addition to trees and mountains and rivers, there is no landscape to see, fortunately at this time there are more wild animals, many are extinct in modern times, just visit the zoo.
Everyone is moving in the northwest direction, most of the time is in the sky above the territory of the Niu Clan, because it is slipped out, the dry food is not prepared, fortunately, Jiang Nan is here, before leaving Middle-earth, you can rest for one night from the westernmost Yuancheng Lanshan of the Niu Clan, and replenish the provisions.
Dasha is a good employee, diligent, hard-working, but a good employee is not without any problems, as soon as the sun sets, it is reluctant to go, this is Wu Zhongyuan to give it the prescribed dinner time, Dasha does not know what time, it eats to watch the sun, as soon as the sun sets, it knows that it is time to eat.
If Dasha is really an employee, he must be the kind that was killed by the boss, and it is very simple to coax it, send the idea, just don't eat it first, and wait until he goes to the ground to eat well, Dasha will continue to hurry with joy, and when he arrives at the boundary of Lanshan, it is also dark, and he actually forgets to eat this stubble, and does not move on his stomach.
The land in Lanshan is barren, the people here cultivate less, mostly for animal husbandry, there are a lot of cattle and horses, Wu Zhongyuan is a good boss, communicated with Jiang Nan, and directly sent Dasha to the cattle pen.
After dinner, the two of them did not rush to rest, but packed their things and prepared to go out of the city, the Xiguan guarded by the white tiger was in the mountains west of Lanshan, and it was necessary to go to the dock to pay respects......
