Chapter 3: The Valley of Herbs
Dongfang Ziyan was fighting a cold war because of fear, and Shangguan Yuanji's face was also ugly, but both of them were young and old, and they knew that the more crisis the moment, the more they couldn't mess up, Yuan Ji stabilized Ziyan's body with his left hand, and his right hand reached out to his back and held the hilt of the sword.
The two of them didn't dare to gasp in the tree, Shangguan Yuanji knew very well that once the monk entered the second level of force, the "mind" would have the ability to explore spiritual power, and the initial master of spiritual power could survey all the winds and grasses in a certain area according to the cultivation, but the eight holy servants should be cultivated to a very deep level, and I am afraid that they have reached the terrifying "large-scale investigation" and "mind control" and other advanced spiritual power techniques. At this age, although Shangguan Yuanji's spiritual power is already terrifying, it has only reached the point where he has just mastered the use of "mind".
If you fight with the superior saints of the Senate, the consequences can be imagined.
"If I don't come out again, I'm going to do it." The greedy wolf stretched out his right hand, which had been hidden under the white robe, and flashed a cold cold light, which was a right hand covered with a metallic material, and with his movements, the arm made a metallic grinding sound.
The robotic arm of the 'ghost hand'?! Isn't this a long-lost work of the Union? How did it get into the hands of the Senate? Ziyan's eyes widened, could it be that the disappearance of the alliance was really related to the Senate? He glanced at Yuan Ji, and Yuan Ji was also surprised, obviously he also saw some eyebrows.
"Don't, don't!! I'll come down now! This is down!! Don't do it!! ”
Suddenly, the five acolytes heard shouts and saw a man fall from a tree, apparently unsteady. The man sat up from the ground, covered his head, held a wine gourd in his hand, had long blond hair, and was a young man with funny movements and a funny expression, "Hey, it hurts me!" ”
The other four holy servants looked at each other helplessly. On the tree, Ziyan and Yuan Ji both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?" The slightly thin Breaker stepped forward.
The young man was dressed in straw sandals and a coarse cloth coat, and he raised his head "Me? I have no name, no surname, no father, no mother! I cheated all the way to get here, but I got lost......"
The huge giant gate took off his blood-stained gloves, walked over and grabbed the young man's ankle and lifted him up, shaking it vigorously.
"What are you doing! I don't have any money on me!! Spare your life!! ''You see things you shouldn't see. Jumen turned around and asked the greedy wolf, "Fourth brother, kill it, so as not to leave a disaster." ”
There was no trace of emotion in his eyes under the mask of the greedy wolf, and he said faintly: "Forget it, our task has been completed, this person is useless, let's go." Saying that, he glanced at Lu Cun behind him, Lu Cun immediately nodded, his hands merged, and a blue teleportation array appeared. The giant gate threw the young man to the side heavily, and followed the four into the teleportation array, and this time the young man was crippled if he didn't die. With the blue light gone, the five holy acolytes disappeared.
The young man lay on the ground, his hair scattered on the ground, reflecting a golden patch, and it was evident that the man was sloppy but still took care to keep his hair clean. Dongfang Ziyan and Shangguan Yuanji came down from the tree and leaned over, Dongfang Ziyan asked, "Yuanji, was this person killed by a fall?" Shangguan Yuanji nodded: "Well, it's possible, with this IQ, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago." Yuan Ji, who has always been indifferent, told a cold joke for the first time.
"I said, 'What are you two boys cursing me?' I'll help you get out of danger, and if you don't thank you, I'll forget it. The young man rose from the ground as if he had not been hurt at all, he took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and his long hair almost covered his face, "Do you know who the man who was killed is?" He is the * teacher of the Dog Rong Remnant Clan! ”
"How do you know? Could it be that they came here to hunt down this * division? Dongfang Ziyan asked.
The young man was silent for a moment, "I don't know, I just overheard their conversation." Dongfang Ziyan was about to ask, but Yuan Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ziyan, let's go." Ziyan had no choice but to leave with Yuan Ji, and before leaving, Ziyan glanced at the young man.
After walking out for two miles, Yuan Ji whispered, "That person has a problem just now, don't believe his words." ”
The Hongjun Empire and the Imperial Capital Chihong City-State has a history of nearly 1,000 years, and has been the center of the human tribe since ancient times.
The Star Picking Building is the most important of all the buildings, this building has fifty-three floors, it is a peerless work of human mechanical alchemy, it is the symbolic building of the empire, it integrates all the power organs of the empire, and the Senate is in the Star Picking Building. Picking the stars means the ambition of the Emperor of the Human Race to "pick the stars with his hands". This is the de facto control area of the Senate and the center of power in the country.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Star Picking Building is unusually solemn, and a meeting is underway.
In the conference hall, six patriarchs sat on either side of the long table, and behind each patriarch stood a holy attendant. But the position of the Xuan Emperor at the end of the long table was empty, and no one spoke for a while, and the occasion was cold and gloomy, making people shudder.
Patriarch Baqiatu spoke first, "Everyone, the result of the escape of the Cursed Child has basically been reached," he picked up a document from the table, and his dry fingers drew on the paper, as if reading carefully, "Regarding the contamination of Dongfang Ziyan's bloodline by the demons, the Senate has decided to make the following ruling: First, upgrade Dongfang Ziyan's wanted level from 'B' to ' S' level, the maximum time limit is two years, we must find out the whereabouts of Dongfang Ziyan, and then arrest and execute; second, kill everyone related to this matter eleven years ago; third, after arresting Dongfang Ziyan, kill all the people related to him together. ”
After speaking, the patriarch closed the information, "Now if you have any questions, you can ask." ”
"Your Excellency, when should the plan for the 'Abyss Falling Phoenix' be executed?" The crape myrtle beside him said faintly.
Ziwei, the head of the Eight Holy Attendants.
"That's a good question, this is one of the key questions to follow, but before we do that, we have to complete a few more important tasks," another patriarch, Yang Yi, said, handing a document to Ziwei, "You lead the holy servants to act separately, and Kunlun Mountain will send more people!" ”
Ziwei took the document, glanced at it briefly, and then glanced at each other at Wenqu and Wuqu, and without saying anything, the three of them left. The holy acolytes also followed, and only six elders remained.
There was a dead silence in the conference hall again, and there was a faint sound of heavy breathing, and the elders couldn't help but look into the darkest part of the hall, and an even darker figure appeared coughing, it turned out that this person had been in the hall all along. As soon as this person came out, the patriarchs showed a look of panic.
"When the plan is completed, no force can stop the plan of the Fu clan, aren't you happy? My dolls? The voice of the dark shadow echoed, and the patriarchs did not respond to him, "When that day comes, all will cheer!" The shadow seemed to raise its arms and shout, letting out a beastly laugh, or cry.
Dongfang Ziyan and Shangguan Yuanji didn't encounter any wild beasts along the way, so they were about to walk out of this forest, and after spending two days, they walked to a stream in the forest and stopped, ready to rest.
Shangguan Yuan grabbed his trouser legs and caught fish in the stream, while Dongfang Ziyan sat on the soft turf and lit a fire, and said, "This forest is really big, but it's finally time to get out." Ziyan added firewood to the fire.
"The Modibia Forest is the largest forest in South County, but according to my planned itinerary, we have to pass through a place called 'Hundred Grass Valley' to get close to the realm of the Aslan Empire." Shangguan Yuanji was holding a sword, and the sword was wearing a freshly caught fish.
"Hundred Grass Valley?" Dongfang Ziyan had never heard of this place.
"I also saw Baicao Valley from an ancient map, and I haven't heard of it before." Shangguan Yuanji shrugged his shoulders, "But I'd like to hear the name of this place mentioned by my father before, and I can't remember the specifics." ”
Dongfang Ziyan suddenly had a sense of excitement, looked at the opposite side of the stream, and his eyes were round; Shangguan Yuanji also noticed that something was wrong and immediately went ashore. "Is it a spirit animal? Or is it an ordinary beast? I feel the spiritual pressure, it should only be a relatively powerful spirit beast, right? Dongfang Ziyan muttered.
"It's not relatively powerful," Yuan Ji drew his sword and heard heavy footsteps coming from the other side, "Damn, I'm about to leave the forest, I didn't expect to be in such big trouble!" ”
The footsteps disappeared suddenly, Ziyan and Yuan Ji glanced at each other, and suddenly the wind blew between the trees, and the spiritual pressure urged the branches to sway, and Dongfang Ziyan could see that the fish in the stream were also beating restlessly, as if they were fighting to leave. Suddenly, leaves and sand flew all over the sky!
"What kind of power is this?!" Dongfang Ziyan shouted, and at the same time put his hands in front of his forehead to resist the sharp impact.
"This is no ordinary spirit animal! This should be the Beastmaster who is above ordinary spirit beasts! Shangguan shouted.
Spirit beasts, divided into three kinds of mythical beasts, monsters, monsters, all of which are creatures bred by the descendants of the enslaved beasts after the defeat of the ancient siblings. Above ordinary spirit beasts, there are three classes that are superior to ordinary spirit beasts: beast kings, beast spirits, and beast gods. The three categories are all high-level beasts, among which the power of the beast king can be comparable to the level of the fifth-order clear void among the monks, and the power of the beast god is not yet known.
"Beastmaster!! Oh my God, isn't this a matter of human life! Dongfang Ziyan cursed, "Oh no, my body is suppressed by his spiritual pressure!" Shangguan Yuanji also gritted his teeth.
The wind was still howling, and the beastmaster in the jungle finally appeared, a huge four-legged beast, with a huge wind pressure with every step, standing taller than both of them, with huge silver wings and golden pupils.
"He's really a powerful guy, more powerful than any spirit beast I've seen before, I think he's already reached the realm of beast spirits!" Shangguan Yuanji actually laughed, and blue tendons burst out on his forehead, "However, if you use the wind to play prestige in front of the Shangguan family, then you are a class with an axe!" Yuan Ji suddenly broke free of the restraints and crossed the stream with the Wind Cutting Sword in his hand!
The beastmaster roared angrily, shaking the four directions!
"Come on! Silver Wing Black Tiger King!! ”
Shangguan Yuanji seemed to be in full strength, rushing towards the tall silver-winged black-striped tiger like a warrior, the tiger king was obviously a little surprised, he first opened his wings, and the more violent wind blew towards Shangguan Yuanji. "As I said, showing your wind cultivation in front of the Shangguan family is even more ridiculous than getting an axe from the Banmen! Brute!! There was a burst of lightning, and Dongfang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, because it was too fast.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Ji had already appeared behind the Tiger King, and immediately, blood splattered on the Tiger King's forehead, which angered him even more! The Tiger King turned around, and the long tail with thick arms swept towards Shangguan Yuanji, Yuanji's instinctive horizontal sword was blocked, but when it was still repelled by a huge force, it crashed into a tree, and the big tree fell to the ground with a wail, and the dust was all over the sky, startling countless birds and beasts to flee. But Shangguan Yuanji's expression was still indifferent, even though the blood from the wound flowed into his eyes.
"Human, you are the second person to hurt this king in the past ten years!" King Kong of the Tiger King glared angrily.
This silver-winged black-striped tiger can speak with human nature! This shows that Yuan Ji guessed well, I'm afraid he has already entered the stage of the beast spirit! Dongfang Ziyan was shocked.
"I'm going to be the first to kill you!" After Shangguan Yuanji finished speaking, he disappeared into the eyes of the Tiger King! Instantly jumped to the top of the Tiger King's head, and just about to stab down with a sword, the Tiger King's wings fluttered and slapped on Yuan Ji's chest, and Yuan Ji was trampled under the feet by the terrifying beast jumping high, stirring up countless gravel!
Yuan Ji's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and the strength as thick as a mountain made him spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Sure enough, the gap is still too big.
The Tiger King stared at Shangguan Yuanji, "Boy, if you speak wildly, you will die!" "The Silver Wing Black Tiger seems to have forgotten that Ziyan is still not far away, but Dongfang Ziyan can't do anything!
"Phew!" Shangguan Yuanji couldn't break free, he saw Ziyan still standing on the opposite side of the stream, and shouted, "Ziyan! You go quickly!! Saying that, Yuan Ji grabbed the Tiger King's forelimbs with both hands.
"What do you say! Although I am much worse than you, how can I leave you alone!! We're brothers! Dongfang Ziyan held the "Fire Blade" in his hand, and was ready to rush forward, he knew that his attack would be a mantis arm as a car, but he was not a cowardly person, and the Dongfang family did not have a cowardly person.
The silver-winged black-veined tiger squinted at Ziyan, and Yuan Ji took the opportunity to put his knee on the Tiger King's chest, and the Tiger King screamed, and his huge claws slapped on Yuan Ji's chest again, shaking Yuan Ji's body into the ground. "You can't escape! Even if I let you run now, as long as you can't get out of this Modibeque forest, this net can catch up with you...... Kill you again! ”
"Yuan Ji!!" Dongfang Ziyan was not afraid at all, he waved his hand violently, and three blazing flames roared out, and the Tiger King easily dispersed them, "Don't resist senselessly, you will have to pay the price of your life if you trespass on the forbidden land and destroy the territory of this king!" ”
Dongfang Ziyan gritted his teeth, "Ridiculous! Even a spirit beast dares to be the king and set its own rules! Put the cart before the horse! Slave Mind!! Zi Yan crossed the stream, the long tail of the Tiger King swept over, Zi Yan leaned back to dodge the attack, and at the same time, his whole body was on fire, he slid two meters on the ground, and a flexible forward roll dodged the Tiger King's attack. The silver-winged black-striped tiger is a spirit beast that is famous for its strength, although it is a wind system, but the speed is not very fast, Shangguan Yuanjian was hit by him only because Yuanjian was careless, but after being hit hard by him, he was defeated by a series of attacks, obviously Ziyan is good at observing one of them.
The powerful hands grabbed the tail of the Tiger King, the blazing flames burned up, the Tiger King screamed in pain, and Ziyan directly pulled the Tiger King's huge body off the ground with another force! The strange power of the Dongfang family is well known, and in addition to this, there are most of the "triple spiritual power" advantages, but no one in the Tiger King and Shangguan Yuanji present thought that his strength would be so great!!
It's a monster!
The Tiger King was thrown into the sky, and then a burst of fire caught up with it! Ziyan's body emitted a dazzling fire! A wave of raging flames unleashed! "Scorching Sun Overlord Rush!!" Dongfang Ziyan shouted, the firelight illuminated half of the sky brightly, and the trees spontaneously combusted in this high temperature! .
Shangguan Yuanji was stunned, he knew that although Ziyan was far from his own strength, it was not surprising that he threw the silver-winged black-striped tiger into the sky, but after that move "Scorching Sun Overlord Rush" was issued, he felt that Ziyan surpassed him at this moment, and the surrounding fire elements were also attracted to him, Dongfang Ziyan was like the center of the fire element!
"Could it be...... A fire demon body similar to the wind demon body? Shangguan Yuanji couldn't believe it. Dongfang Xiao and Shangguan Feihu are two sworn brothers, famous in the Three Realms, both of them are famous for the power of Shura's physique, the so-called Shura physique, is a kind of physical art inherited from ancient times, inherited with the bloodline, some people no matter how talented they are, no matter how hard they work, they will never be able to practice without the bloodline of Shura's physique. Shura's physique is divided into ten types according to the ten elements, the fire demon body and the wind demon body are only two of them, and the Shura physique is as famous as the legendary Jingqi bone.
The flames on Ziyan's body quickly faded, and his body staggered because of excessive consumption, but fortunately, Yuan Ji helped him in time. "Hehe, I really didn't expect you to keep a hand!" Yuan Ji put Ziyan's arm on his shoulder and supported him.
"Now is not the time to gossip, my attacks won't have much effect on him, let's go!" Ziyan frowned and watched the red clouds in the sky behind him gradually disperse.
Yuan Ji took Ziyan with him, and the two of them ran quickly like the south, because they were both injured, so the speed was very slow. Ziyan ran closely behind Yuan Ji, and suddenly he was attacked from behind and lay on the ground, and the Tiger King had already caught up!!
"Ziyan!" Shangguan Yuanji turned around and saw that Ziyan had fallen, and he was about to run back immediately.
"Leave me alone, you go!!" Dongfang Ziyan shouted, the figure of the silver-winged black-striped tiger behind him was already close, "We can't deal with him!" You go fast, with your class and speed you can get out of the way! I can't live if I'm late!! ”
"What are you talking about?" Shangguan Yuanji said that he was about to rush back, but Ziyan threw the fire at Yuanji with all his strength, and Shangguan Yuanji stood still.
"It doesn't matter if I die or not! Anyway, I'm a wanted criminal, and sooner or later I'm going to die! Ziyan burst into tears, "It's better to die now, you are more useful than me staying in this world, you still have a long way to go!" Let's go to the Valley of Herbs!! Dongfang Ziyan finished speaking hoarsely, and his hands emitted flames, blocking Yuan Ji's way back.
The silver-winged black-veined tiger pounced, and Dongfang Ziyan's muscles tensed all over his body, ready to meet the final blow. Shangguan Yuanji flew out from the side at the critical moment, pounced Ziyan to the side, and dodged the attack of the Tiger King, but the two of them were attacked by the wind blade, and both of them bloomed with blood behind their backs.
"You bastard, you want me to run away alone! You Dongfang family are all brave, are our Shangguan family soft eggs!! Shangguan Yuanji scolded with a smile, "Since you can't escape, let's go to death together!" He helped Ziyan and slowly stood up from the ground. The two teenagers were covered in injuries, and their trembling bodies had a determined expression, and the Silver Winged Tiger King turned around, ready for the next attack, but both teenagers had done their best.
"I have no friends since I was a child, and it is enough to have a brother like you." Ziyan quietly closed his eyes, tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
The blue light shone on them, and the "Tiger Roaring Heavenly Cannon" of the Silver-winged Black-veined Tiger gathered in the big mouth, and the powerful spiritual power was about to destroy everything in front of them! At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, Dongfang Ziyan closed his eyes, but he could feel the bursts of blue light, and the power of the spiritual power seemed to be able to tear himself apart. And Shangguan Yuanji grabbed the "thing" in front of him. After nearly a quarter of an hour, the impact stopped, and they opened their eyes almost at the same time, only to see a tall man standing in front of them with his back to them, a black cloak with gold thread and long black hair fluttering in the wind. It should have been this man who saved them.
The black-haired man had a smile on his face and maintained the movement of one hand outstretched, and it seemed that he had just blocked the Tiger King's attack with one hand. The man's face was cold and delicate, a man who looked like he was in his twenties, "Silver Wing, don't hurt their lives!" ”
"Dragons? How did you get out? The Tiger King looked shocked.
"Don't worry about it, these two children are not in danger, let them go." The man named Long said lightly, and then he turned his head and smiled at Ziyan and Yuan Ji.
The Tiger King let out a muffled roar in his throat, hesitated for a while, he flapped his wings, saw Ziyan and Yuan Ji hiding behind the dragon and grimacing at it, and said: "Okay, I'll let them both go for your sake today, but these two boys are all manufacturable materials, and there are pros and cons to staying in this world, you can still consider yourself." After the Silver Winged Tiger King finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away.
The dragon seemed to be still thinking about what the Tiger King had said, but he snorted coldly and turned around. The moment he turned around, Ziyan saw that he was wearing a black slim dress, he was a beautiful man with a gentleman's temperament, and there was a golden sword shining with golden light around his waist, Dongfang Ziyan knew that sword, that sword was too famous, it was the "Golden Wings" of the "Golden Wings" of the "Thirteen Artifacts".
"What? Like my sword? The dragon squatted on the ground, put his hands on the top of the heads of the two of them, and the injuries of the two of them actually began to improve, this is spiritual healing!
"Thank you." Dongfang Ziyan spoke, "Thank you for saving us, Mr. Long. ”
The dragon smiled, "It's dangerous here, follow me into the valley." Then he turned and walked away. Shangguan Yuanji didn't say anything to Dongfang Ziyan, so he followed.
"Do you know us?" Shangguan Yuan asked suspiciously.
"I know, you are the Yuan Disease of the Shangguan family, he is the Ziyan of the Dongfang family, and you are sworn brothers." Long said with a smile, but Shangguan Yuanji felt that this person was terrifying, even more terrifying than the previous Tiger King and even the previous superior saint.
Mind Reading ...... Ziyan said silently in his heart.
"Don't worry, I won't tell you." The dragon patted Ziyan on the shoulder, obviously reading all of Ziyan's thoughts. "Keep up with me, I'm going to speed up! With that, he flew forward. "This person's cultivation is extremely high, he lives in Baicao Valley, he should be the legendary Baicao Valley Lord, that bamboo forest layman!" Shangguan Yuanji said, "Keep up with him, you won't suffer"
The dragon's pace was fast, his toes landed on the branches without a single movement or spiritual power fluctuation, his movements seemed to be as still as water, but the speed was as fast as lightning. Although Dongfang Ziyan's injuries were healed and his physical strength was almost recovered, it took all his strength to not be thrown off by the dragon, on the contrary, Yuan Ji followed the pace of the dragon and was not bad at all, he had to admire Yuan Ji's strength. With the high-speed progress of the three of them, they soon came out of the big forest, but then they entered a dense bamboo forest, the more they walked through the bamboo forest, the deeper the bamboo forest became, the verdant and green bamboo had a towering momentum, and what was even more amazing was that the creatures here were spiritual, and the bamboo and grass took the initiative to get out of the way when they approached. After walking for more than an hour, the dragon's footsteps finally slowed down, and he slowly landed on the ground, and Yuan Ji and Ziyan also stopped, although they were both out of breath.
"This is the entrance to the Valley of Hundred Grasses." Long waited quietly in front, running for so long, but there was not even a tired expression on his face, but Dongfang Ziyan looked exhausted, and although Shangguan Yuanji was a little tired, he still looked indifferent, and he was always vigilant in holding the Wind Cutting Sword in his hand.
Without saying anything, the dragon began to make his way into the valley.
Before entering the Hundred Grass Valley, Dongfang Ziyan felt a comfortable and cool wind coming towards him, and the tiredness on his body disappeared unconsciously! "What a treasure! It has the effect of healing and rejuvenating!! ”
Shangguan Yuanji said silently: "This is because there are all kinds of spiritual grasses and spiritual trees in this valley, and the aura emitted by them has a healing effect. ”
"It's such a great place to live!" Dongfang Ziyan stretched, but he heard a crisp sound of drawing his sword, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Yuan Ji had just pulled out the wind cut, and the murderous aura was permeating! He hurriedly asked, "Yuan Ji!" What are you doing? ”
I saw Shangguan Yuanji walking towards the dragon with a sword in his hand, full of murderous energy, and he said, "Say, who are you?" Why...... Will you live in the place where the Great Sage Master practiced?! ”
Ziyan was puzzled, but the scene was already full of murderous opportunities.
The dragon just smiled, completely unconcerned that the sharp sword was stabbing at his forehead
