Chapter 31 Stepping on Xuzhou
Before leaving for Baiguitan this time, Ye Luwu had never been to Xuzhou.
In ancient times, Xuzhou was not called this name, but was called "Wasteland", so the spiritual veins here were the most scarce and of poor quality. If almost all living beings want to cultivate, they will try their best to leave the territory of Xuzhou and find another place. Otherwise, a lot of time will be wasted.
According to Chongguang, Jing She, the lord of Baigui Pond, was originally a great immortal guarding the thirty-three Vientiane Towers in the fairy world, and because he was drunk with fairy wind dew for a while, half of the monsters in the Vientiane Building took the opportunity to flee to the lower realm. The Emperor of Heaven was furious, and after sending people to recover those monsters and imprison them in the Hundred Ghost Pond in Xuzhou, he degraded Jing She to this point.
It is strange to say that in the era of great cultivation more than a thousand years ago, there was abundant spiritual power everywhere in the world, which was more than a hundred times stronger than now. But Xuzhou was not born with a decent spiritual vein, so it was gradually rumored to be a place where "immortals do not come, and there is no spiritual energy".
Such a wild place, not to mention that cultivators are reluctant to set foot in it, even the emperor has always regarded it as the first choice for degrading and exiled officials. Although Xuzhou can barely be called in the belly of Changguo, there are no big rivers passing through it, so the land is also very barren.
When Ye Luwu was young, every time it was time for the autumn harvest, his parents often said that they were pitiful to the people of Xuzhou, who couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes when they were so rich. When she heard this, she gave her father the flowers she had saved for a long time, hoping that he would entrust someone to send a little of his heart to this sad and lamentable place.
Even though it was a drop in the bucket, I could only do this at that time.
Ye Luwu jumped off the Shui Yi sword and stepped on this supposedly very barren land for the first time.
The soil under his feet is actually yellow, and Xuzhou is clearly not a border place, but it is a bleak scene, sparse trees stand crookedly in the loess, long since the leaves of the full branches, only the thin trunk is poked there alone.
Baiguitan is located in the southwest of Xuzhou, Ye Luwu only felt that the closer to there, the scarcer the surrounding creatures became, and occasionally a few birds flew by, and they also hurriedly flew in the opposite direction, as if all the creatures were vying to stay away from that direction.
She frowned, and said, "Why have we walked for so long, and we haven't seen a village here? ”
Chongguang said: "The impact of Baiguitan seems to be greater than before, and if this continues, the entire Xuzhou will become a no-man's land." ”
Ye Luwu was puzzled in his heart, the senior brother is clearly a person who lives in a simple place, when has he ever been to a place like Xuzhou?
He seemed to know that what he said was inappropriate, so he added: "Since the era of great cultivation has passed, the immortals have disappeared one after another, and the world can no longer find their traces. Even though the female fairy Yinhua soared to shock the world three hundred years ago, her cultivation could not be compared with those hidden immortals. If Jing She is not degraded, he is also a person who has the divine power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, chase the sun and the moon. After the end of the Age of Divine Darkness, he was banished. ”
Chen Yu nodded and agreed: "In this case, the increasing influence of Baiguitan is because of Jing She's resentment?"
Chongguang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It can be said that he and the monsters in the Hundred Ghost Pond have been staying day and night, and he has also been contaminated with their demonic energy, and now he is no longer an immortal, just a monster who is half immortal and half demon." ”
Ye Luwu sighed in his heart, he was clearly an immortal in the heavenly realm, but now he could only be with monsters, and even when the immortals were hidden, he never thought of him who was still in the lower realm. I don't know if in the time of the world, has he ever regretted that he shouldn't have drunk that cup of moonflower dew?
She turned her head and asked, "Since Jing She has such a strong grievance, then after the fall of the True Dragon, its body ......?"
Chongguang shook his head: "The true dragon was born as an immortal, Jing She has been relegated to the lower realm, even if the true dragon falls and his soul leaves his body, he will not be able to pose any threat to this body." ”
"If there is still a heart protection scale, there is no way that the true dragon will fall in such a filthy place. ”
Ye Luwu was puzzled: "Didn't you say that there is a piece of the true dragon's heart protection scales in the Hundred Ghost Pool, so in that case, how could it be willing to fall here?"
Hearing this, Chongguang's tone carried a hint of meaning: "Because it gave the last Heart Protector Scale to someone else, it ended up like this." ”
There are only three Heart Scales, and this last one is the most precious, and it can be easily given to others at the time of life and death? Ye Luwu couldn't figure out what kind of feelings could be like this, even life and death could be laughed at.
She lamented: "If this is the case, it must be someone more precious than my own life." It's just that why does the senior brother know so much, it's like ...... It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes. ”
Since the appearance of the Great Demon Qingji, the senior brother has begun to become a little different. His eyes were intact before, but he had never seen the world in his eyes. Even though he was a very reliable man and fulfilled all the requests he made to his disciples, nothing could make him color his eyes.
But now, although he can't see, he has a little more of the breath of fireworks in the world, and he is no longer as cold as a fairy. Even if he still doesn't know his origin, it's a mystery why he knows everything in such detail, but he seems to be real like this, and he has a little bit of the gentle young man in his memory.
Some sharp wind blew, and it hurt slightly on the face.
Ye Luwu stared at the heavy light in front of him, his hair was lifted by the wind, casting a chaotic shadow on his face. His face was perfect without a single flaw, and the dazzling sunlight poured down from the top of his head, outlining his outline with a soft halo. Somehow, the situation in front of her made her feel a sense of déjà vu.
Just when she didn't know why she felt this way, Chen Yu stretched out her hand and pulled Chongguang forward, interrupting her thoughts.
She hurriedly lifted her feet and chased forward, and heard Chen Yu's voice coming from the front: "How about hearsay? What about seeing it with my own eyes? Ten years ago, I was able to beat the group of people who said he was a demon all over the ground looking for teeth, and now I can!"
Ye Luwu paused for a moment, then smiled with relief. Yes, whether the senior brother is a human or a demon, he is him, the great disciple of Lanmen who everyone admires in the rivers and lakes, and the last hope in the hearts of these Lanmen disciples when they are in a desperate situation.
I don't know how long I walked forward, but when the sun had begun to set in the west, the soil under my feet was slightly black and purple from yellow, and the shadows of trees began to appear in my field of vision.
Fang Cai had just stepped into the scope of the influence of the Hundred Ghost Pond, and he was almost useless. But now that he is about to enter the ancient dense forest where the Hundred Ghost Pond is hidden, he has begun to have vitality, which is really a bit abnormal.
She unconsciously cheered up her spirit, and followed Chen Yu step by step towards those trees.
Even though she was mentally prepared, when she stood outside the dense forest, she was still shocked by the scene.
It is true that there is a dense forest here, but the whole forest is thick black. Although the branches of these trees are covered with layers of leaves, the leaves are also completely black, as if they have just been fished out of the dye vat. The whole forest stretches so far that I don't know how much of it is, and I can't see a single color. The three of them stood in front of this dense forest, and they became the only star color here.
Ye Luwu looked at the unusual scene in front of him, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "Hasn't the land of Xuzhou been depleted since ancient times, how can there be such a vast dense forest?"
Jing She was degraded for an unknown amount of time, and Chen Yu didn't know the reason for this. Therefore, he turned his head to the side and held the hand of his right arm with slight pressure, signaling him to speak.
As if he was afraid that saying too much would expose something, Chongguang was reluctant to answer. But now Chen Yu is clearly interested in this issue, if he pretends not to hear it again, he doesn't know when he will hold a grudge against him.
He had no choice but to say: "This dense forest descended into the world together with the Hundred Ghost Pond, and when you enter this forest, it is the range of the Hundred Ghost Pond." Most of the legends about it are described as a lake, but it is not. The monsters in the Hundred Ghost Pond inhabit the pond at night, and they can move freely in the forest during the day, but they can't get out of this forest. ”
Chen Yu glanced at the sunset that was about to fall behind the mountain, and frowned: "It's going to be dark now, if the real dragon scales fall into the pool, how good is it for the monsters to gather." ”
Chongguang lips opened and spit out a few cold words: "If you don't gather together, how can you catch them all." ”
Could it be that the purpose of Senior Brother Coming to Baigui Pond is not only to get rid of that real dragon scale, but also to get rid of all the monsters in it?! Ye Luwu was shocked, Jing She had been wandering in the world for more than a thousand years, and several of them were fighting with fish and knives compared to him, and they had no chance of winning. Moreover, the monsters in it are all from the heavenly realm, even if the spiritual veins of Xuzhou are exhausted, they are still difficult to deal with.
She hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, my current cultivation is still able to do the sword, and breaking into it like this is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger." I don't know if Chen Yu's cultivation may be on par with them?"
And although Chen Yu has always been confident, he has always competed with the human race before, and this kind of monster from the heavenly realm is also the first time he has seen it, and he is also a little apprehensive in his heart: "I don't know, I'm just afraid of more than one bad luck." ”
Ye Luwu fell silent, the reason why the sneak attack on Moque would be able to win was because half of the disciples were not in the village, and if they wanted to really face each other, they didn't know who would win and who would lose. But in front of this Longtan Tiger's Den, I don't know how many monsters like Qingji gathered, and there was no possibility of luck.
At this time, Chongguang spoke: "You only need to wait for me to lure them away and sneak into Tan Di to find two things for me, one is the True Dragon's Heart Scale, and the other is the True Dragon's soul trapped here. ”
Chen Yu Jian frowned, and said without thinking: "No, how can you face the demons in this situation? Besides, with Jing She here, you will never be able to avoid him." ”
Chongguang seemed determined to do this, "Your perception of the soul is much higher than hers, so you can go and find this trace of soul, and leave the heart scales to her." ”
As if he knew that Chen Yu would stop him, he said in a soft tone: "Senior brother, you can believe me once." ”
This is the second time that Chongguang has not acted according to his instructions, and Chen Yu is slightly shocked. No matter what kind of request he made today, as soon as this "senior brother" came out, he would never be able to refuse.
He had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay, it's up to you this time." But you have to remember that if something really happens, the most important thing is not to let yourself get hurt, even if you leave us alone. ”
Ye Luwu also helped on the side: "Senior brother, you must be very careful, don't anger them." ”
Chongguang nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I won't be hurt in the slightest." Although it is a lake, it is also a lake with a wide area. I'll enter from the east first, and then you will sneak down from the west after half an hour, remember to always sense the demonic energy around you, and don't enter the place where the demonic energy is strong. ”
Ye Luwu nodded solemnly, and hid his aura like Chenyu.
These things were definitely not said to Chenyu, if only the two of them came, Senior Brother would never say this. Even though he had absorbed the power of the Red Cloud Fruit, he was still far from them in terms of combat experience.
This ancient forest was indeed vast, and they walked in it for two hours before they could see the clear blue in the distance.
Chongguang suddenly turned his head to them and said, "Let's separate here, remember, you must leave after half an hour." ”
Ye Luwu saw that he was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, if you bump into something, how can it be good!"
Chongguang's figure paused, then slowly turned around, and faintly raised an imperceptible smile: "Huanqing, don't worry, I have already said that everything in the world is in my heart." ”
With that, he turned around and strode away, the moon-white figure was extremely conspicuous in this darkness, and as he walked away, the star-white color gradually disappeared into the green field of vision.
She turned to look at Chen Yu, and sure enough, his eyebrows were already wrinkled, and he didn't know what kind of emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother said it will be fine. She said softly.
Chen Yu shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "You don't understand, he has been thin since he was a child, but he refuses to say anything even if he is injured." Once, my master and I went down the mountain to buy a tonic for him, and we went for three days. When he came back, he learned that he was forcibly dragged out of the master's house by a group of people in the name of 'monsters', and starved in the back mountains for three days and three nights. ”
Ye Luwu was a little angry, and said angrily: "At that time, you were just a child, how could those people attack the head of the family in a grand manner!"
"Yes, he was not yet five years old, and it was the end of the year, and it was winter. I had a fever when I was looking for him in the back mountains, and I was sick for a while. His eyes were hazy, as if he had seen the scene of that winter again, "The group of people in Lanmen all chanted to subdue demons and eliminate demons and maintain the right path, but what kind of demons and monsters can a four-year-old child be? The master was very angry, but even if they were punished, they would directly get rid of him if they had the opportunity in the future, and they would never leave any more troubles. ”
Ye Luwu's eyes widened in surprise, "There are so many demons in the world, why don't they subdue them, but chase after the senior brother?"
Chen Yu sneered: "Hmph, how dare they really subdue demons and eliminate demons with that little bit of cultivation, they are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed." Their qualifications were mediocre, and even though they had been cultivating for several years, they were still no match for me, so I tried my best to beat them so hard that they no longer dared to call themselves disciples of Lanmen, and drove them out of Lanshan. ”
Ye Lu is clear, no wonder he hasn't seen many seniors, that's the reason.
It's just that Chen Yu is such a genius, he can single-handedly pick up so many people at the age of five, and he deserves to get a unicorn bracelet. Before he took Chiyun Guo, his strength was able to overwhelm Yu Qiu, and he fought a draw with Wang Teng. Now that he has received the full help of Chiyunguo, what kind of level has his strength reached?
