Chapter 14: Nine Springs Lotus
Half a month ago, Su Muyu can be said to remember it vividly, but he didn't know the follow-up progress, he only heard that after Baili Yun entered the Law Enforcement Hall, he told him everything he had done and had not done, and he had indeed not entered the Jiuhan Cave to steal.
Now Elder Shan came to him, it was actually for this matter, which made Su Muyu a little surprised, it stands to reason that such a matter should not be handled by the upper echelons themselves, she doesn't feel that there is anything special about such a disciple who has only been in the middle of a month to be involved in this matter.
"Qi Yu, come on. Elder Shan handed over the topic to Qi Yu, who nodded and said to Su Muyu, "Although the items in the Nine Cold Caves have not been stolen, they have been damaged. ”
"Damage?" Su Muyu looked at Qi Yu suspiciously.
"Does Senior Nephew Su know what is hidden in the Nine Cold Cave?" Qi Yu asked with a smile.
"The disciple is stupid, but since he was placed in the Nine Cold Cave and listed this place as a forbidden land, he must be a peerless and rare thing with extremely harsh growth conditions...... Su Muyu said while recalling the heavenly and earthly treasures that meet these conditions, although there are many of them, but ......
Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Su Muyu looked up at Qi Yu in disbelief, just looking at Qi Yu's clear eyes, but Su Muyu didn't observe carefully, but was stunned by the guess in his heart.
"It seems that Master and Nephew Su have already figured it out. Qi Yu smiled gently, and even looked at Su Yu with some appreciation.
"Why don't you say it and see if it's correct?" Elder Shan said encouragingly, the actions of these two people confirmed Su Muyu's guess even more.
"It should be a nine-spring lotus that has been cultivated for thousands of years and bloomed for 10,000 years. After finishing speaking, Su Muyu gasped herself.
The opening chapter of "The Secret of Nine Springs Lotus" records: "Nine Springs Lotus, a thing of the demon world, a black lotus born from a tree, can wash the marrow and cut the veins, sit on the ground and become an immortal, but this thing goes against the sky, the way of heaven is not allowed, the user will be added by the eighteen Xuanlei, the adult will ascend to the sky in one step, and the loser will die." ”
In fact, the Nine Springs Lotus, before the seal of the demon god in ancient times, sent the seed of the demon lotus to the ground from the seaside on the other side of the demon world, and the place where the demon world and the human world meet is located on the Beiwu Continent, and now it is also the place where the demon cultivators gather.
At that time, Beiwuzhou was covered with snow all year round, the environment was extremely harsh, the magic lotus took root and sprouted here, and the white horse gradually grew into a dense forest, and every tree was full of demonic black lotus.
The rumor of 'Tree Lotus' spread throughout the continent at some point, and the monks who came for this strange landscape were unknown, but most of them fell in the Wufu Sea, and only five people arrived in Beiwu Continent, and only three people finally found this dense forest alive.
The three of them were given a handful of black mud, a branch and a black lotus, and then the dense forest quickly withered and withered as if it had completed some kind of mission, and finally turned into burning ashes and flew into the air. Later, the three of them parted ways, and the Nine Springs Youlian disappeared for a while.
Until 30,000 years ago, a monk strayed into a secret realm, and found that there were patches of black lotus dense forests in the secret realm, he refined the black lotus, not only successfully changed his spiritual root, but even after he passed the eighteen Xuan Thunder, he suddenly stepped into the tribulation period from the foundation building, but no one knew what happened to this person, and the secret realm also disappeared without a trace.
Before the monk disappeared, he left a lot of seeds of black lotus, but there were very few that could make it live, and this thing was originally conceived by heaven and earth, absorbing too much demonic energy, and growing in the extremely cold land of Beiwu Continent, and after a few years, there was a master who summed up the cultivation method of Jiuquan Youlian, but its harsh conditions were prohibitive.
It is recorded in "The Secret of Nine Springs and Lotus Planting": "Those who have nine springs should gather the aura of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, the place of extreme catastrophic cold, and the soil of the demon world as soil, irrigate with unvainous seawater, supplemented by ferocious things as nutrients, in order to survive." However, do not touch the heat source before picking, and the cultivator should wear cold jade to cover his own heat. ”
With such harsh conditions, it is already difficult to reach the sky in the land of the Demon Realm alone, not to mention that the Nine Springs Youlian only grows for a thousand years, and it only blooms once in 10,000 years, and the flowers only bloom in three days.
But even so, there are still people who brave Xuan Lei to add his body, for this flower to go forward and follow, every time there is a figure of Jiuquan Youlian in the black market, it must be in short supply, bloody and bloody, just to touch the ethereal immortal gate.
Therefore, when Su Muyu's answer was affirmed by Elder Shan and Qi Yu, Su Muyu had to have a new understanding of the wealth and strength of the Nine Swords Sect.
The master specifically pointed out in the secret secret that there was an extremely gloomy place in Haotian Continent on the ancient battlefield, where all the demon beasts that had lost their minds and mutated because of the yin qi were inhabited, and even the flesh and blood of the demon beasts and the demon pill had a strong evil qi, so although the cultivation continued unabated, they lost the ability to transform into shapes.
If you capture the demon beasts above the contemplation period there, you can meet the nutrient supply of the Nine Springs Youlian, and a contemplation period demon beast can meet the nutrient supply of one year, and the higher the cultivation, the more sufficient the supply.
The contemplation period of demon cultivation is equivalent to the transformation period of human cultivation, and you should be a cabbage on the ground during the transformation period, just pick it up!
The Nine Cold Caves of the Nine Swords Sect are said to have been set up as a forbidden place a thousand years ago, and now if it is calculated as one Condensing Stage Demon Beast every year, then this huge number and the strength required......
Don't dare to think about it!
It's scary to think about!
Qi Yu caught a glimpse of Su Muyu's changing face, smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and seemed to be in a much better mood, and the change in his mood also attracted the attention of Elder Shan, Elder Shan didn't think much about it, anyway, this junior disciple who was much younger than himself had the most unpredictable thoughts.
"The old man doesn't go around the bend anymore, yesterday the thief broke into the Nine Cold Cave, wearing warm jade, it turned out that the Jiuquan Youlian that I had raised for many years by the Nine Swords Sect fell short, and it began to wither gradually, Senior Brother Qi thought of many ways, but he could only alleviate the rate of withering. Elder Shan was a little heartbroken when he said this.
"You must be curious why you want to listen to it?" Elder Shan glanced at Qi Yu and said, "Senior Brother Qi said clearly, you have a way to save that Nine Springs Youlian, although I also wonder what you are capable of as a disciple of the Qi cultivation period, but Senior Brother Qi wants to be steady, what he said should not be wrong." ”
Is it really good to trust him so much, Elder!?Su Muyu looked at Elder Shan with a confused expression, but he didn't dare to really pack the ticket: "The disciple can only try his best, but I don't know if the disciple can make a small request." ”
"Oh, tell me?" said Elder Shan with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"If the disciple can really save the Nine Springs Lotus, can you give the disciple two Golden Branch Grass?" Su Muyu asked tentatively, and sure enough, Elder Shan said without thinking: "As long as you can save the Nine Springs Lotus, let alone the Golden Branch Grass, the spiritual plants in this Hundred Herb Garden are at your disposal." ”
"The elder is generous, but what the disciple is trying to do is only two golden branch grasses, so let's talk about it after the disciple takes action. Su Muyu naturally wouldn't believe Elder Shan's joke.
The so-called equivalent exchange, although the Nine Springs Youlian is valuable, it is not worth exchanging the spiritual plants of the entire Baicao Garden, and it is already good to be able to get two golden branch grasses.
Merely......
Su Muyu followed behind Qi Yu, looking at the person in front of him vaguely, his mind went around several times, but he couldn't understand it after all.
Why was this man sure she could be cured? Could it be that he had already recognized her?
No. Su Muyu immediately denied this speculation, not to mention that she had never seen this person before, she used the Bone Shrinking Pill and the Heavenly Silkworm Mask to change her appearance, and she was wearing the Hidden Yuan Jade that she had exchanged in the mall before, which could cover up the true situation of the Yuan Shen, unless she was a Mahayana monk, there was no way to snoop at all.
The person in front of him is only the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage, and it is impossible to see through her disguise. That was the case, and what was the reason why he was so sure that she could solve the problem of Jiuquan Youlian.
"Master Su's nephew. Qi Yu looked at Su Muyu, who was empty-minded, and said with a smile: "We have arrived." ”
Su Muyu came back to his senses, only to find that he had stood at the entrance of the Nine Cold Cave for some time, the entire Nine Cold Cave was shrouded in a cold yin array, and the stone wall outside the cave was covered with cold frost, touching a burst of cold and cold transmitted to his heart through the skin.
"Senior nephew Su, you can see the Nine Springs Youlian if you go all the way to the end. Qi Yu stood outside the cave, clearly not planning to go in.
"Uncle Qi is not going with me?" Su Muyu said with an eyebrow.
"I believe that my sister will succeed. Qi Yu raised his lips and smiled gently, but there was an indescribable weirdness.
"The disciple first thanked Uncle Qi for his auspicious words. Su Muyu decided to give up the purpose of thinking about the person in front of him, and turned around and walked into the Nine Cold Cave.
Qi Yu looked at the figure that gradually disappeared from sight, and stroked a circle of red rope programmed by red thread on his left wrist with his right hand, because it had been covered by a wide sleeve robe, so Su Muyu did not notice it.
Qi Yu stroked the red rope, his eyes were gentle as if he was about to overflow water, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smile that was bound to win, adding a bit of charm.
In my memory, there seems to be a little girl in a blue skirt, who climbed up the tree full of peach blossoms crookedly in the spring, and made a grimace at the anxious maid below, but smiled happily when she looked at herself, regardless of the maid's exclamation, jumped from the branch, and threw herself into her arms, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.
