Volume 2 Iron Tree Hall Chapter 179 Coffin Mountain
Since the Alliance, the group has not been hungry again, and they have eaten to their heart's content.
It's much easier to rush when you're full, and the atmosphere of everyone is becoming more and more harmonious, Sima Shuo asked a lot of all kinds of news about Tieshutang, while Ming Shiyu and others asked about the news about the mysterious 'Despair Ridge', Sima Shuo handed over this task to Xuhui, Xuhui is now happy, whether it's rushing or cooking, he is talking endlessly, some of which he has heard, and a small part of it is his own experience with Sima Shuo and others, such as going to the border city of the human race to save people, that one is called painting and colorful, wonderful, It was thrilling and exciting, and even Ming Xi and Huo Pu were listening, after all, they who lived in their comfort zone had never fought against humans, and they had never seen such a big scene as a battle between the two races.
Toad Xin was fascinated by what she heard, her eyes were flashing when she looked at Sima Shuo, and the others also sincerely admired the five people, who could escape from the hands of the despicable and powerful human race, which made people feel very incredible.
Except for Tang Hua, he snorted coldly and said in the opposite tone: "I don't know if it's true or not, I think even if it's true, it's mostly bragging, there must be a big demon following into the human city." ”
Xuhui sneered: "You don't know anything, if the human city can let the big demon in, then it won't be able to keep it, what else do we need to go in? ”
"What's more, human beings are not as simple as you think, the reason why we little demons want to sneak in is because human beings monitor the city very strictly, and the big demons will be immediately exposed when they enter, and they will be killed by closing the door and beating dogs. ”
Tang Hua was speechless, and the wolf asked curiously, "Then how did you sneak in without knowing it?"
Xuhui was just about to blurt out, but Sima Shuo immediately replied: "We don't know about this, it seems that the lord asked someone to get it." ”
Ming Xi guessed: "It should be that I asked a senior who is extremely proficient in the formation to help, and a flower transfer tree came to open a passage on the original big array." ”
Sima Shuo asked curiously, "Seniors understand formations?"
Ming Ci shook his head and smiled: "I don't understand, I just know some theories." ”
Huo Pu smiled and explained: "The threshold for learning the formation method is very high, and there is only one deputy hall master who understands it in our Iron Tree Hall, and there are only two disciples in person. ”
Xuhui asked tentatively, "How many people are there in the Iron Tree Hall?"
Huo Pu thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but it has to be tens of thousands of people, some of them travel abroad, and only some of them cultivate in the Iron Tree Hall." ”
Xuhui exclaimed: "That's almost one in a million!"
Ming Xi smiled and said: "Almost, when you get to the Iron Tree Hall, you can try your luck, then the old man is eager to find a few more talented disciples, so that he can receive more resources to do experiments, and if he can become a formation master, the treatment will be very generous." ”
Everyone nodded one after another, these Sima Shuo had all heard of it from Yingna, so they were not very surprised, and concluded: "Rare things are expensive. ”
Huo Pu shook his head and said: "More than that, the formation master has a very thorough understanding of the holy text, and can do many things, such as improving the aura of a certain place, guarding a certain place, setting traps, etc., so it is a very important talent." ”
Although I don't understand it very well, hearing about important talents makes everyone yearn for it even more.
On the seventh day of the Yuanbu grassland, everyone climbed over the four mountains, and the tired points along the way were still unremarkable, and the mentality couldn't help but begin to relax a little, and a little to expand in the direction of the outing.
Xuhui is used to seeing this, so he seems extremely bored, and complains quietly to Sima Shuo when he has nothing to do, thinking that there is no difficulty.
After reaching the top of the fifth mountain, Ming Xi suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't you think this journey is not challenging and interesting?"
Glancing at Xuhui, Xuhui smiled awkwardly, then let go of his body, pointed ahead and continued: "It's okay, that's your second level this time." ”
Everyone hurriedly climbed to the top, and in the distance in front of them there was a rectangular mountain, with cliffs on all sides, the top surface was unusually flat, and there were many wild grasses, and the weeds were all sea blue, and the ones that were about to wither were dark blue, and the ones that were just long were light blue, and they were like a soft blue hair when they were swaying in the wind.
Sima Shuo was puzzled: "This is the second level?"
Huo Pu explained: "The first level is to keep up with us all the way from the Yuanbu Grassland to the Iron Tree Hall. ”
Tang Lanyu frowned and asked, "You won't have to turn it over, will you?"
Ming Ci smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, except for Sima Shuo's five people, the other seven people all wailed.
Xuhui was still a little excited, but when he saw the mountain, he lost interest in an instant, and said listlessly: "What is this? Isn't it just a mountain?"
Tang Hua said disdainfully: "Hillbilly, this mountain is called Coffin Mountain, and it is surrounded by muddy cliffs, and it is very difficult to climb up." ”
Xuhui glanced at him, then at his wings, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Ming Xi said: "It will be a greater test for you. ”
Xuhui was puzzled: "Why?"
Instead of answering him, Huo Pu asked the crowd, "Do you know the origin of this mountain?"
Tang Hua was the first to raise his hand, and Huo Pu motioned for him to say.
Tang Hua immediately raised his head and began to show off: "I heard my sister say that this mountain is called Coffin Mountain, there are a total of seven and forty-nine in the Holy Realm, and it is the coffin mound of the last true dragon, there are forty-eight fake mounds, and there is only one real mound. ”
Yueling'er interrupted and asked, "Where is the real mound, it can't be this one, right?"
Tang Hua shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "I don't know, even if all the forty-nine are found, no one dares to dig them, so I don't know which one is real and which one is fake." ”
Ming Xi said: "It is rumored that the true mound has been found, and the nine sons of the dragon slowly consumed the nine underwater coffin mountains in the eight seas and one river with the help of blood and water veins, and finally found that the true mound was in the Shengyuan River. ”
Sima Shuo's eyes narrowed, and Ying Ye smiled: "It's greasy." ”
Ao Xuan asked curiously, "What treasures are there in the real mound?"
Everyone else also looked at Ming Ci curiously, and Ming Ci smiled and said, "I heard that there are the remains of the true dragon inside, as well as the natal magic weapon of the real dragon, because it can control ten thousand waters, it is called the 'water soul bead' of the soul of ten thousand waters." ”
Huopu added: "These are just rumors, and they can't be true. ”
Yue Ling'er asked, "Just now Xiao Huahua said that the mountain is full of muddy cliffs on all sides, so how can we climb over it?"
Tang Hua said angrily: "Don't call me Xiao Huahua!"
Yue Ling'er smiled playfully, and deliberately called 'Xiao Huahua' again, so angry that Tang Hua stomped his feet.
Tang Lanyu thought it was funny, one thing was lowered, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Bi was eliminated in this selection, it would have brought a lot of blow to Tang Hua, otherwise this guy would have been naughty and mischievous along the way, and he wouldn't have walked so calmly all the way, but this is good, he didn't mess with others, but others bullied him, it's really rare.
Ming Xi glanced at the crowd and said, "It's up to you, otherwise how can it be called a test?" ”
After pausing for a while, he found that there was only Sima Shuo, and everyone else was looking forward to it, so he couldn't help but look at Sima Shuo a few more times, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, he was a smart little guy, and then he continued: "That's from both sides to the other side of the mountain, but it's still the same sentence, we have to arrive before the two of us set off the next day, otherwise we can find a way to go to Tieshutang by ourselves." ”
Everyone sighed in unison, they had to twist their necks to see the whole picture of the coffin mountain from left to right, and they couldn't see the whole picture at a glance, if they wanted to spend a day and a night to get around, it was not impossible, but it was estimated that they couldn't walk the next day, and they would still be left behind.
Xuhui still looked indifferent, looking the most relaxed, feeling that Ming Ci was bluffing to scare himself, after all, he couldn't fly, how did he know that he couldn't fly over.
On the way down the mountain, everyone had a round of discussions on the coffin mountain, brainstorming ways to cross over.
Someone proposed a way to dig holes, first let one person climb while digging some small holes along the way that can be grasped, but Tang Hua vetoed, on the grounds that those cliffs are like soft soil, when there is a depression on it, it will automatically flow down from the front to fill it, so it is impossible to dig holes on it, if you want to climb up, you can only climb to the top in one go, and you can't stop halfway.
Later, it was proposed to nail a branch into the cliff and nail it all the way up, so that the latter could climb more easily, and this was retained until it was verified in the field.
Later, someone suggested making a rope for Xuhui to take to the top and find something to tie up, and the others could climb up, but only if Xuhui could fly to the top of the mountain, which was also retained for verification.
Seeing that they were discussing the plan so seriously, Ming Xi and Huo Pu just listened secretly, shaking their heads slightly from time to time, they knew the actual situation of the coffin mountain, so they were more clear about whether the little guy's plan could work, but they were only responsible for leading the way, and they couldn't give these little guys information and guidance in this regard, so they could only keep silent and wait to see how they turned over this coffin mountain.
Wangshan ran a dead horse, although he saw the coffin mountain lying on the road ahead early, but it actually took three days to get closer.
As soon as he approached the ten miles range of Coffin Mountain, Xuhui knew that something was wrong, and he felt the same feeling as when he climbed the 'Night Flute Mountain' again, the air was filled with heavy moisture, which made him feel uncomfortable at the same time, and his wings felt heavier and heavier every time he stirred.
Everyone also felt the changes in the air, but they didn't feel any discomfort, but their bodies seemed to be a little heavier, and dew appeared on their hair and clothes.
When he walked to the foot of the coffin mountain, everyone weighed a few pounds more, except for Ao Xuan, who was the smallest and scaly all over his body, but he didn't have to walk by himself, he hid in the book and slept comfortably, it didn't matter at all.
Looking up at the cliff, I felt as if I was connected to heaven and earth, and I couldn't see the end, and I even had the illusion that I was standing on the cliff, and the cliff was the ground.
Yue Ling'er exclaimed, "How tall does this have to be?"
Tang Hua was dumbfounded and muttered, "One point and eight kilometers." ”
It is equivalent to 1,080 meters, 300 stories high, if you fall from it, it is not too much to break your bones.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow.
Ming Xi comforted: "Don't be afraid, we will stay here for two days and one night, and we will catch it if we fall, and we will not die." ”
But even so, no one wants to fall from it, it's so scary, just looking at it now makes my hands and feet sweat.
Xuhui did not fly anymore, but also stood on the ground, flicking the water on his wings, and urged the people who were still in amazement: "Hurry up, it's uncomfortable to die." ”
Then everyone began to verify them one by one according to the plans discussed in the previous days.
