Chapter 180: Canghui's Name
"It's a good place." Zhao Xuan looked at the castle of Canghui Academy and muttered.
Since all the colleges on the mainland have about the same time on vacation, there are not many people in Canghui Academy at this moment, and the huge Canghui Academy seems a little lonely.
In the distance, a corner of the snow-capped mountains can be faintly seen, and the white snow accumulates a little shallow on the top of the mountain, but it looks so pleasing to the eye.
The mountain breeze is bleak, the pine trees are gently shaking, and the small lake by the castle is dark in color, reflecting the shadows of the swaying pine trees and the white clouds fluttering in the blue sky, all of which look quite like the scenery depicted in fairy tales.
Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing: "Let's start!" ”
The divine consciousness that originally maintained a range of 10,000 meters suddenly increased to probe, and a radius of 10,000 meters was under Zhao Xuan's control, in this range, Zhao Xuan felt like a god, and any wind and grass could not escape his induction.
The howling of the wind, the low chirping of insects and ants, the rippling of the water, the pulsation of the earth......
Everything couldn't escape his senses, but as the scope of his divine sense expanded more and more, Zhao Xuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Nothing out of the ordinary? Could it be that my guess was wrong? ”
Zhao Xuan took a deep look at the ancient castle in front of him, and felt a little unwilling in his heart.
Although I don't have much expectation in my heart, even if there is only a glimmer of hope disappointed, it will bring a sense of loss.
"Huh?"
Zhao Xuan suddenly let out a sigh, then quickly closed his eyes, and silently sensed with his divine sense. In a very deep depth under the Canghui Ancient Castle, Zhao Xuan felt an unusual aura.
Since the complexity of the underground environment is not lower than that of the aboveground, and is even many times stronger, the Divine Sense often consumes more than ten times more Divine Consciousness to explore the underground than usual.
A hundred meters underground in Canghui Castle, something buried deep in the ground caught his attention.
It was a vast sea of bones formed by dry bones, and layers of bones fell wantonly in the depths of the Canghui Ancient Castle, covering an area many times larger than the Canghui Academy itself.
An endless sea of human bones was hidden deep in the soles of his feet, and the infinite number was like a star, making people's scalps tingle, and Zhao Xuan couldn't help but gasp slightly.
I don't know how long these bones have been buried, and in Zhao Xuan's induction, many of them have turned into powder, but the layers of soil on the ground have piled up, so that they still maintain their original appearance, which makes people wonder what it is that can create such a daunting scene.
While his heart was solemn, Zhao Xuan did not hesitate to use his divine sense to carefully explore this strange place hidden underground, and he was slightly excited in his heart, because the more strange the place, the more likely it was to be the hiding place of the black qi.
But what made Zhao Xuan a little disappointed was that there was nothing unusual in this "mass grave", except for some insects and ants that could survive at a depth of 100 meters underground, it was like a quiet underworld, and there was no anger at all.
Zhao Xuan did not believe in evil and repeatedly probed several times, but the final result still disappointed him greatly.
Zhao Xuan sighed and gave up exploring the underground, but immediately his eyes looked at the forests around Canghui Academy, he had only explored a small part of the surrounding forests, and maybe there were still gains in other places.
The strange source of the black qi on the ghost ring is difficult to fathom, but the direction in which the black qi escapes is the direction of Canghui Academy, which makes it difficult for Zhao Xuan not to pay attention to the surroundings of Canghui Academy.
Because only the strange black qi hidden around Canghui Academy, the ghost ring that has been staying in Canghui Academy all the year round can come into contact with that black qi, and after that black qi escapes, it will escape in the direction of Canghui Academy.
With Canghui Academy as the center, Zhao Xuan explored the range of hundreds of kilometers before and after, but found nothing, which couldn't help but make Zhao Xuan feel disappointed, could it be that his guess was wrong?
Standing on top of the snow-capped mountain, all the divine consciousness is collected. Zhao Xuan looked at the Canghui Ancient Castle standing in the dark green forest from a distance, it was like a dazzling pearl, it looked extremely conspicuous.
Zhao Xuan pursed his lips and looked at it for a long time, the fierce cold wind blew on his face, which could not make him have the slightest fluctuation, and just as he was about to go home, a somewhat surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Huh? Young man, what are you doing here? ”
An old man in a thick cotton robe carried a small basket on his back, looking at Zhao Xuan who was standing proudly on the top of the mountain, his expression was very stunned.
Zhao Xuan looked back, the old man's face was flushed, he was a little trembling in the fierce cold wind, and there were some transparent pure white snow lotus and some green herbs in the basket behind him, it was obvious that this was a medicine picker.
According to the information fed back by the divine sense, the old man's cultivation was not high, and he was just a soul master of the tenth level.
The old man's face changed suddenly, and when he looked at Zhao Xuan, who was thinly dressed, his expression suddenly became much more respectful.
Zhao Xuan didn't think much about it, and replied with a chuckle, "Just take a look at the Canghui Academy below." ”
The old man's expression was slightly relieved, and then he looked back in the direction Zhao Xuan was looking at, and he muttered, "Canghui, the brilliance of the white bones." ”
"Huh? What do you say, old man? Zhao Xuan's heart moved, and his face showed curiosity, it seemed that this old man seemed to know about the white bones under Canghui Academy?
The old man hurriedly turned around and smiled: "It's just a legend, seeing that the little brother doesn't look like a person from us, then I'll tell the little brother about it." ”
"There has always been a legend in our country about a great war that took place here a long, long time ago, when it was still an era of ignorance, the continent was in turmoil, one country destroyed another, and in order to celebrate their exploits and show respect for the gods, they killed tens of thousands of enemy troops here, and paid tribute to the gods!"
"It is rumored that the king of that country was blessed by the gods because of this, and his strength skyrocketed, and it was also a glory in the chaotic continent at that time, but unfortunately he died inexplicably in a later battle, and a black gas swept the battlefield, and all the soldiers of the two countries died mysteriously."
"And this was the place where the enemy soldiers were killed at that time, and it is rumored that the white bones were piled up into a mountain, and the white bones emitted a pale glow in the sun, so this area was named Canghui Forest."
The old man said with some emotion, and Zhao Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Black gas? It seems that the direction he is tracking is really good, but one thing that makes Zhao Xuan more puzzled is that the black qi was able to harvest the life of a battlefield at the beginning, why does it feel weaker now?
However, this unexpected harvest made Zhao Xuan's heart full of joy, and he thanked the old man: "Thank you for explaining." ”
The old man smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, you can find any resident around." ”
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being stupid, since this is weird, then there is a great possibility that a legend will be formed in this place, after all, the more unknown and mysterious it is, the more likable it is, and the more people will spread it by word of mouth.
This kind of thing should be asked when it comes!
