Chapter 120
It is said to be a pothole, but it is actually an incomparably huge palm print. Looking down from a high place, you can faintly see the huge and incomparably deep, hundreds of feet deep, showing the outline of a huge palm.
Extrapolating from the surrounding environment, this should have been the site of a towering mountain peak. It seems that in those distant years, there was a powerful man who struck an earth-shattering palm from the sky, which not only turned the towering mountain peak into powder with a blow, but also caused the earth to shake and collapse, forming this huge crater that was hundreds of feet long.
This kind of power is truly shocking and incredible.
In this regard, Chu Mo and the others have long been numb, and what they saw along the way has long been strange. The reason why they gathered here at this time was because there might be a Qingyuan Pearl in it.
According to the experience of those who entered the Wanxu Mountains before, the Qingyuan Pearls were generally conceived in the depths of the earth, that is, in the depths of this huge pit carved out by manpower.
Of course, this is not absolute, there are no Qingyuan beads in many potholes, but the probability of appearing in this kind of place is higher.
"Let's go down and have a look, if you're lucky, you might be able to find some Qingyuan Pearls" Everyone stood on the edge of the huge pit, their eyes shining.
"En" Gu Qingwu and Chu Mo also agreed.
Immediately, Gu Qingwu began to arrange for some clever and cautious people to stay and guard near the giant pit, and the rest of the people were divided into several groups and climbed down the edge of the giant pit from different directions.
Chu Moyi is bold and takes the lead. Fuyao spread its wings and jumped directly from above.
With his wings flapping, he controlled his speed to drop at a constant rate, while carefully observing his surroundings and being alert to a crisis that might arise at any time.
"It turned out to be a winged treasure" Seeing the eye-catching wings behind Chu Mo, Gu Qingwu and the others were all stunned, "What is his origin, and he still has such a treasure"
It's no wonder that they are shaking, the winged treasure is very rare, it can be said to be a treasure with no price, even Chu Mo's wings, if it weren't for the danger and difficulty of refining, its original owner would not be willing to take it out for auction. With wings in the body, not to mention how much combat effectiveness is improved, at least in terms of life-saving, it is far beyond ordinary people, as long as there is enough time to fly to a sufficient height, even the strong people in the human king realm have nothing to do.
"Don't look at it, let's go down too" Gu Qingwu quickly regained his composure, let out a low snort, and jumped down along the stone wall. I saw her slender jade hand swinging lightly, and every time her delicate body fell a distance, she gently hit the stone wall, and the sharp falling figure followed slowly, and the speed was also extremely fast, and in an instant, it had gone down dozens of zhang distance.
The rest of the people also showed their means and jumped down one after another.
The giant pit was deep and invisible, Chu Mo flapped his wings and landed for an hour, and where his eyes were sharp, he still couldn't see the situation at the bottom. This made him feel emotional, and he was in awe of the ancient powerhouse who caused such a scene, and the power of one palm could be so strong, that kind of power was unimaginable.
"Such a strong person, compared to the real people of the Nine Festivals, I don't know who is higher and who is lower" Chu Mo couldn't help but secretly compare in his heart, but he couldn't come up with a reason. With his current strength, he is far from being able to access this level of power.
Hold back the vibrations in your heart and continue to land carefully.
Another hour passed, Chu Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and he was already vaguely able to peek into some scenes at the bottom of the pit through the layers of mist.
"It's finally here" Chu Mo's heart perked up, but he became more and more cautious. The Wanxu Mountain Range is full of dangers, especially the places where ancient powerhouses have fought, and it is full of infinite variables, and he cannot afford to take it lightly.
Controlling the wings to slow down the landing, the Xuanjing Iron Sword was already in his hand, ready to deal with any sudden changes that might arise.
"Tread"
With a soft sound, Chu Mo landed on a protruding mountain rock. You looked around, but you didn't notice anything unusual, everywhere you looked, your eyes were full of devastation, and you only felt that the yin wind was gusting, and a heavy depressive atmosphere enveloped the four fields.
Aside from a few mottled traces of history left over the course of time, there seems to be little value left here.
"Brother Chu Mo" With a soft shout, Gu Qingwu's graceful figure slipped off the rock wall and landed lightly on Chu Mo's side, "How is it, have you found anything?"
Chu Mo shook his head slightly, and said: "There doesn't seem to be any special Miss Qingwu here, depending on whether the terrain here has the possibility of producing Qingqing Yuanzhu" Although Gu Qingwu was also the first time to come to the Wanxu Mountain Range, he had done a lot of homework before, and he obviously knew much more about the situation here and the information about Qingyuan Zhu than Chu Mo, an outsider, so in this strange place, Chu Mo would not be reckless, and would consult Gu Qingwu's opinion first in everything.
"I'll take a look," Gu Qingwu looked solemn. Zhen took out a silver artifact similar to a compass from his arms, raised his hand over the top, and wisps of Yuan Li as light as a gossamer gushed out from his jade hand, following a strange mysterious trajectory in the silver artifact.
"Buzz"
The artifact in Gu Qingwu's hand shook slightly, and then a special wave spread out in a form invisible to the naked eye, forming a wonderful pattern in mid-air.
"This place is in line with the trend of the Eight Poles Tour, with the effect of condensing and converging clear qi and gathering, and it meets one of the conditions for the formation of the Qingqing Source Pearl, and there is a great possibility of brewing a source vein" Gu Qingwu's cold face rippled with a touch of joy, and her jade cheeks were shining, and she was so beautiful that she could only hear her drink softly, and the silver utensils in her hands suddenly bloomed with a strong light.
The light gathered but did not disperse, turning into a ball of light floating above Gu Qingwu's head, and as Gu Qingwu's hand formed a strange seal, it shot out like wisps of essence, scattered in all directions, condensing into subtle points of light.
"Dig along the direction of these points of light," Gu Qingwu withdrew the silver artifact in his hand and ordered in a low voice.
At this time, the rest of the people also climbed down the rock wall, gathered one after another, and when they heard Gu Qingwu's order, they scattered in an instant.
Powerful fluctuations erupted in their bodies, and the rumbling sound was endless. Everyone is showing their abilities, digging hard, and their faces are full of excitement without exception.
Seeing that everyone was in full swing, Chu Mo found a place to sit down, "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure" looked at Gu Qingwu, and suddenly let out a teasing chuckle.
Gu Qingwu's face was as indifferent as water, and when the lotus step moved lightly, he also sat down not far from Chu Mo's side, "This is the Xuanyu Light Guide, it is just a tool used to survey the terrain, and it is not a very precious treasure." I just used what I knew about the geographical requirements for the formation of the Qingyuan Bead to make a simple inference with the help of the Xuanyi Light Test. This can only help us narrow down the scope and save some effort, and it will not play a role in searching for the Qingyuan Pearl. ”
Chu Mo chuckled lightly and said, "I just said it casually, you don't need to be so eager to explain to me, right?"
Gu Qingwu looked at Chu Mo, but there was an imperceptible strange light flashing between her clear eyes, "Is it really just like this, I feel that you seem to be a little dissatisfied in your heart, complaining that we are hiding something from you." It seems to be a casual speech, but it is faintly questioning."
"Is there one" Chu Mo subconsciously touched his nose with his right hand and laughed dryly, "When did you know me so well?"
Gu Qingwu brushed the green silk on her sideburns, but she turned her head and didn't speak, but turned to look at the Yongcheng disciples who were constantly digging.
The two fell silent.
Since the brief episode of the tent in the rain, the relationship between the two people seems to have become a little delicate, no longer as polite as before, but usually they don't know what to say to each other, although everyone is natural on the surface, but if you pay close attention, you can feel a strange atmosphere between the two sides.
Two hours later.
Chu Mo and Gu Qingwu stood side by side, standing in front of the gully that had been dug up with holes and crisscrossed hundreds of zhang deep, looking around, and behind them stood a group of young men and women with gray faces. The original excitement is gone, and there is only a disappointment that cannot be concealed.
"It seems that our luck is not as good as we imagined" Chu Mo shrugged helplessly, took the lead in breaking the depression and dullness, and said with a smile, "But it is expected, if the Qingyuan Pearl is really so easy to find, it will not be called precious." Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, and if you keep up the good work, you don't need to look so disappointed." Although the strongest combat strength of the team is Chu Mo, after all, it is the person behind him who is depressed.
Gu Qingwu also raised his voice and said: "Brother Chu Mo is right, you all cheer me up, this trip to the Wanxu Mountain Range is not only for treasure hunting, but also a rare experience, and now this experience has just begun, you put on this listless look, just this kind of mentality is worthy of claiming that the elite will be in danger at any time here, in your state, I don't know how to die when the time comes." You have all remembered to me that if you want to become a real strong person, the most important thing is to have a strong heart, otherwise, even if you have a strong body, you will be depressed when you encounter setbacks, and you will retreat when you encounter difficulties, you are just a relatively powerful coward, and you will not be able to become a big climate."
The voice is crisp and pleasant, but the tone is sonorous and powerful, and with a solemn face, Gu Qingwu's white figure like willow catkins in the wind has its own momentum of not being angry and self-righteous, and a kind of infectious force that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As the words fell, everyone who was still disappointed was shocked in their hearts, not only stood up straight, but also swept away the depression on their faces.
It can be seen that everyone is very convinced of Gu Qingwu, not only because she is the daughter of the city lord, but more importantly, her own superior ability and unique personality charm make people involuntarily believe and agree.
Looking at all this, Chu Mo also nodded secretly, "Although Gu Qingwu is a woman, her temperament is not much better than that of an Angzang man, she is indeed a competent leader, she is not only strong, she can lead the children of Yongcheng to charge into battle, her mind is even more delicate and thorough, and she knows what to say when and when to say it." Although it was just a few simple words, it not only inspired people, but also made everyone realize the shortcomings of their own hearts when they were depressed and confused, so that everyone completed a transformation of their hearts at this moment in a timely manner, which is very beneficial to everyone's future road Although the strength of this group of children of the family is good, but the training is less after all, what is needed is this kind of experience and sublimation"
Chu Mo agreed with what Gu Qingwu said, a strong man's heart is far more important than a strong strength. He himself is well aware of this.
Thinking that back then, he lived in Anding Village with his father Chu Ze, he grew up in a mountain village since he was a child, he had long been wiped out by the days of stability, and he just wanted to live in peace and happiness, even if he practiced hard, he just didn't want to disappoint Chu Ze, if it weren't for the strong threat he faced in the battle of Anding Village, which made him feel the cruelty and reality of this troubled world, which inspired the heart of the strong buried in his bones, he is now afraid that he can only live in that remote village for a lifetime, Unable to see the vastness of the world and the various wonderful scenery of the world as he does now, Chu Ze is afraid that he can only hide the deep hatred in his heart for the rest of his life, and his heart will be tormented by endless pain day and night until the day he dies.
And now, although Chu Mo's strength is still lacking, far from being able to compare with the enemy Yuan Yiheng, as long as his strong heart continues to improve and grow like now, one day, he will definitely be able to stand in front of Yuan Yiheng with dignity, stand shoulder to shoulder with this enemy who has a deep hatred for him, and even surpass him in the end, and use his blood blade under his hands to avenge his mother.
Humble as ants, they also have the power to yearn for the vast sky, let alone human beings who are the primates of all things. And the reason why people are human beings is because human beings themselves have infinite potential, even if ants yearn for the sky, they can only think about it in their hearts, and people will make unremitting efforts for their goals, never give up, even if there is little hope, but as long as they continue to work hard, have the courage to forge ahead, there will be a day when they will soar above the nine heavens.
Under the encouragement of Gu Qingwu, everyone who was originally disappointed was full of fighting spirit at the moment, although the external image was a little indecent, but the dark eyes were shining and sharp as a sword.
Gu Qingwu bowed slightly in satisfaction, and then waved his hand, "Tidy it up, go up and meet the others."
"Yes" Everyone agreed, tidied up a little, and then jumped up along the rock wall in an orderly manner.
Until everyone disappeared from sight, Chu Mo turned slightly to look at Gu Qingwu with a cold face, "Say, what did you find?"
Gu Qingwu's beautiful eyes as clear as water stared into the deep ravine in front of him, as if he was muttering to himself, and seemed to be muttering, "Do you feel it too?"
Chu Mo said with a smile: "Although I don't have a metaphysical light test, I have a good sense of qi and spiritual power."
Gu Qingwu finally looked sideways at Chu Mo, but there was a trace of doubt and solemnity on her cold face, "There should have been a Qingyuan Pearl here." Although the Xuanxuan Guangjian does not have the function of searching for the Qingyuan Pearl, according to the information I have and the comparison of the internal geographical structure after they excavated this place, they can deduce one or two, but now this phenomenon seems a little abnormal, and it makes no sense that not a single Qingyuan Pearl can be found. ”
"Indeed" Chu Mo squatted down, his fingertips lightly brushed over the pitch-black soil, closed his eyes and felt it slightly, and said with his jaw, "I can feel that this land was originally pregnant with a strange power, and now although the breath is gradually weakening, it does exist." And according to the time calculation, it should have happened a few days ago. According to what you said, this breath should belong to the Qingyuan Pearl. ”
"But when we came, we didn't find any traces of excavation, judging from the traces at the scene, no one has even been here for at least a few decades, so of course it is impossible for someone to take away the Qingyuan Pearls that were originally unearthed here before us" Gu Qingwu inferred, "Something must have happened here."
Chu Mo pondered for a while, but he seemed to suddenly think of something, "I have a feeling that this kind of thing is by no means accidental. It seems that our journey is far more complicated than originally intended. It's a pity that this last breath has dissipated, otherwise we would still be able to find the source. ”
Gu Qingwu said: "If it's just an accident, I hope this is just a peculiarity in the Wanxu Mountain Range." After all, this was once the place where the primeval powerhouses fought, unpredictable, and unpredictable changes could occur at any time" There was a trace of solemnity and worry in his clear eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo also just got around.
looked at each other, but the two of them looked away in unison. Whenever the two of them stared at each other, they couldn't help but think of the unforgettable scene in the tent in the rain that day.
Chu Mo said: "Anyway, I can't figure out anything, let's leave first."
Gu Qingwu nodded, "Hmm"
Although both of them deliberately avoided the accident that happened that day, there were some things that could not be solved by evasion. Maybe they don't realize that it is like an inconspicuous seed planted in their hearts, although they don't mention it, but over time, that seed will gradually solidify and eventually take root. However, it is not known what kind of fruit this unexpected seed will eventually bear.
But it is undeniable that under the subtle influence of that incident, the two people's views have formed a subtle connection, which contains something called tacit understanding
Night.
The canopy is deep, and the cold wind is like a knife.
The night of the Wanxu Mountains is more gloomy than the day, the darkness is like a thick ink enveloping the mountains, oppressive and dull, and the terrible sound of the wind that roars like a night ghost crying is even more terrifying, enough to make any weak-minded person cry for his father and mother, and his heart is broken, even if he is a determined cultivator, in this strange place, he can't help but be worried all the time, and he can't sleep at night.
Chu Mo was dressed in a blue robe, and his long body stood on the top of a steep mountain peak, looking into the distance, his dark eyes were surging with a strange light, as if he was pondering something.
"Why haven't you rested yet, are you still thinking about that" With a cold voice breaking through the silence, a wisp of incense wafted in, Gu Qingwu came behind Chu Mo with a plain white graceful figure.
The seemingly arrogant figure in front of him blended into the deep night, and there seemed to be a trace of the unique charm of the world** around his body, as if he was about to ride the wind away at any time, for some reason, Gu Qingwu's heart suddenly rose an unprecedented inexplicable feeling, and he couldn't help but have a trace of panic that he didn't have on weekdays.
Shaking her head slightly, she suppressed the feeling that made her a little uncomfortable, walked two steps quickly, and stood on Chu Mo's side.
Chu Mo's body did not move, standing there quietly like a rock that had been there for eternity, firm and calm, he didn't even seem to notice Gu Qingwu's arrival, neither looked back nor spoke.
"Hey, I'm talking to you" Seeing this, Gu Qingwu couldn't help but feel displeased, and her voice couldn't help but rise slightly. But as soon as the words came out, even she felt a little surprised, this is not like her usual style.
Gu Qingwu is calm and cold by nature, there are not many things that can affect her mood, even if there is, she will never show it easily when facing outsiders, let alone facing Chu Mo.
You must know that Chu Mo is the helper she and Gu Wujian invited, and in the Wanxu Mountain Range, the safety of her and many young people in Yongcheng all depend on him.
Communicating on weekdays, Gu Qingwu didn't carefully consider which words he said, even if he was slightly dissatisfied, his tone was flat and natural, how could he ever speak like this.
Although it is just a few simple words, it can't help but reveal the posture of a little daughter, which is very inconsistent with her usual shrewdness and ability.
"Uh" Chu Mo realized it later, and finally turned around, "Miss Qingwu, why did you come over, didn't you say that I would keep vigil myself tonight, why don't you sleep?"
Gu Qingwu adjusted his mentality and said, "I don't even know that I'm coming, like Brother Chu Mo, you have a night vigil, I'm afraid that we will all be taken away by the wolves, and you haven't come back to your senses yet" obviously wanted to be calm, but when he saw Chu Mo's seemingly innocent expression, the words he said changed his taste. couldn't help but feel worried, secretly thinking that Chu Mo should not care.
Chu Mo didn't seem to notice Gu Qingwu's strange appearance, hehe laughed dryly, and explained: "I was just thinking about something just now, and I was a little distracted for a while, but Miss Qingwu doesn't have to worry, if there is any change within a radius of 100 zhang, I can still detect it."
That's true. Cultivating to the realm of Chu Mo, he is very sensitive to the consciousness of crisis, even if he is unconscious, but if he feels a threat that is not favorable to him, his body can react instinctively. Especially after cultivating the Mixed Spirit Domination Catalog, not only has the spiritual power increased greatly, but the use of spiritual power has reached a subtle and mysterious point, and it is even more sensitive and abnormal in terms of perception, not to mention just thinking about something, even in sleep, there is no threat to approach him within dozens of feet without his knowledge.
Of course, this situation is only limited to threats of the same level as him, and if there is a strong person whose cultivation is far superior to him deliberately, he may not be able to detect it. But this is already a level barrier, and it is not something he can control, if there is really such a strong person who wants to deal with him, even if he is sober and clear-minded, it will be useless.
