Chapter 302: The Illusion of the Apex of the Heavenly Pond and the Sea
Ye Ming hadn't been back to Demon Fire Town for a long time, and he hadn't seen An An for a long time.
The two Cangluan bird chicks are being raised by An An, what the Cangluan bird has grown to now Ye Ming didn't know, but the last time he met An An in the Tianqian Valley, the two Cangluan birds were already very spiritual, and after such a long time, it is estimated that they will have to grow up a lot.
After leaving the bonfire set, Ye Ming stopped in the Heavenly Trench Valley for a while, and then went straight to Demon Fire Town. Because Ye Ming entered Tianchi Minghai relatively late, it was already early in the morning when Ye Ming arrived at Demon Fire Town.
The strange grocery store was still not open, Ye Ming wondered if it was a little too late to disturb An An and the old man, and when he was hesitating whether to knock on the door, he saw a sneaky figure running from the bank of the Yugong River in the distance.
"An An?" Ye Ming could see at a glance that this person was the dancing girl An An. An An sneaked up from the bank of the Yugong River to the door of the grocery store, and watched vigilantly left and right for a while, before taking out the key and preparing to open the door.
Ye Ming, who was deliberately hiding aside, walked behind An An at this moment and patted her on the head.
"Ahh An An screamed, full of excitement.
"Little Craftsman? Little lover! An An turned around tremblingly, and when she saw that it was Ye Ming, she was suddenly surprised and delighted.
"How did you come from the Yugong River in the middle of the night? is still sneaky, and going back to his own house is like being a thief. Ye Ming asked with a smile.
"Don't ask me yet, why did you go back to Demon Fire Town? Don't you learn the craft of building from your master in the Heavenly Trench Valley? An An put down the veil and approached Ye Ming and asked curiously.
"I'm coming back to you for something, and I'll take a look at you and the old man by the way." Ye Ming said.
"I thought you forgot about me and my old man when you soared in the Heavenly Trench Valley. The old man hasn't been sleeping well lately, and now it's so late, let's not bother him, I know what is the matter with you coming back to me, go, I'll take you somewhere. An An dragged Ye Ming's hand and walked out.
"How do you know what I'm coming back for you?" Ye Ming asked.
"Not for those two little ones? Or you came all the way back from the Heavenly Trench Valley just to see me and the old man? I don't believe it. "An An is very shrewd.
"You came back so late, you have something to do with those two little guys, right?" Ye Ming guessed.
"Well, the two little ones are growing up too fast, I was able to hide in my room when I first brought them back, but now I can't, my room is too small to hide these two huge guys, and they eat amazingly, I can't go to business these days to take care of them, so I rely on the old man's savings to support them." An An said.
"The old man knows, too?" Ye Ming said.
"Well, the old man saw it the day I brought them back. But don't worry, the old man's mouth is the strictest, and now no one in Demon Fire Town knows that I have two Cangluan birds. An An said.
"After a while, there will be a merchant from Dada County who is doing business in Demon Fire Town, I know this person, you can partner with him to do business, you don't have to go out, I will help you pay the funds first, I will invest in you, okay?" Ye Ming said.
"Okay, now the little god craftsman is really getting better and better, and he knows the merchants of Dada County?" An An grinned.
"That's not it, little craftsman, whatever, it's also a person with status." Ye Ming also smiled. He knew that if he gave An An gold coins directly, An An would definitely not ask for it, since she liked to do business, then Ye Ming would arrange an elite businessman to partner with An An.
Now An An can't get away because of the two cangluan birds, so Ye Ming asked the merchants of Dada County to come to An An, and by the way, develop the business of Demon Fire Town, so that An An can also do business in Demon Fire Town.
The general's escort Ye Ming also planned to arrange a few to come over, responsible for protecting An An and the old man, and could also be responsible for the daily commercial development of Demon Fire Town.
An An took Ye Ming along the banks of the Yugong River, and had already walked out of the range of Demon Fire Town, and then the Yugong River entered a circular area like a lake.
"Don't be scared later." An An took out a delicate jade flute and played it. The melodious sound of the flute floated on the water, and after a while, Ye Ming saw that the originally calm water surface began to shake, and layers of water rippled out.
"Wow!" The surface of the water suddenly burst open, stirring up a huge splash, and within the splash, two huge bluebirds emerged, one dark blue and the other fiery red.
It was the two cangluan birds.
"Grown so big?" Ye Ming was surprised. The two cangluan birds now have a body length of more than ten meters, and their wings are more than 20 meters.
The two cangluan birds hovered in the air for a while, and then landed beside An An, and affectionately poked out their huge brains and rubbed against An An's body.
"You hid them in the water? Do they still know how to be watery? Ye Ming looked at the two Cangluan birds and felt very strange.
"Yes, the cangluan bird understands the nature of water, and can also hunt fish in the water, but the appetite of the two little ones is too great, and they have eaten all the fish in the vicinity. I told them not to hunt small fish, otherwise the whole Yugong River would be left without fish. ”
"They seem to be hungry again." An An touched the feathers on Cangluan's body and glanced at Ye Ming helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm here, I'm full." When he was about to go to Demon Fire Town, Ye Ming bought a large amount of meat and food in the trading market of Tianqian Valley and put it in his backpack, which was used to establish a good relationship with the two Cangluan Birds when they met.
Ye Ming took out a large piece of meat and slowly approached the cangluan bird, but when the cangluan bird saw Ye Ming, he opened his mouth to greet him with a flame.
Ye Ming didn't dodge, and let the flames hit him. The current Cangluan Bird is not yet an adult, even if it is an adult, this flame will have no effect on Ye Ming.
First, because of Ye Ming's strength, and second, what damage can the ancient Stubborn Spirit Divine Bird do to the Ancestor of the Stubborn Spirit?
The flames sprayed on Ye Ming's body, Ye Ming was unscathed, but roasted the raw meat in his hand.
"Naughty." Ye Ming handed over the barbecue in his hand.
"Eat, don't you know him? When I was a child, I had joy in his arms. An An pulled the neck of the cangluan bird and leaned towards Ye Ming's side.
Cangluan Bird stared at Ye Ming, and then poked his head out and sniffed on Ye Ming's body, and then swallowed the barbecue in Ye Ming's hand in one bite.
Then, Ye Ming took out all the meat and food in the backpack, which was close to the two cangluan birds.
"They remember you." An An said happily.
"It must be hard to raise these two big guys, right? In this way, in the future, I will have people find a place near Demon Fire Town where no one is there to build a special place to raise Cangluan birds, and you don't have to sneak around anymore, now that they have grown so big, no one can fight them. ”
"Even if there were, I would send someone to protect you." Ye Ming said.
"Tsk, the tone is different from before, it seems that the little craftsman has really become famous in Tianchi Minghai recently." An An said.
"Stop teasing me. An An, have you ever asked these two guys to take you to soar high in the sky of Tianchi Minghai? Ye Ming asked.
"No, how dare I make such a big fuss? However, these two guys are not honest, and often sneak out of the water in the middle of the night to find food outside. An An said.
"Do you want to try it?" Ye Ming said.
"Why, I've never been in the sky since I've grown so big, and that time I was caught by their mother." An An said.
"They still have some rejection of me now, you tell them, let them fly to the top of the Tianchi Ming Sea, all the way." Ye Ming said.
"Okay, they'll listen to me." An An hugged the neck of the cangluan bird and turned it onto its back at once, and then whispered a few words.
The bird hissed, flapped its huge wings and set off a gust of wind and went straight to the sky! Seeing this, Ye Ming spread his wings and flew to the back of another cangluan bird.
One ice and one fire, the two cangluan birds continued to rise in the night sky, and Ye Ming placed the two fluorescent lanterns on the backs of the two cangluan birds for lighting.
At the same time, Ye Ming took out two scrolls. These two scrolls are called the Heavenly Runes, and they are the items that Ye Ming asked for from the Bonfire Gathering Copper He Clan.
Attach the two Heavenly Runes to the backs of the two Cangluan Birds, so that the Cangluan Bird can break through the shackles of the Tianchi Minghai and reach the top.
Because the current two Cangluan Birds are not yet adults, it is estimated that their flying ability is not enough to reach the height of the top of Tianchi Minghai at one time, so Ye Ming lost a few Miracle Blade acceleration skills to help the two Cangluan Birds increase their speed.
The top of the Heavenly Pond was very high, and there was a force that stood in the way of all creatures trying to go up, and the two Cangluan birds were exhausted after nearly an hour of flying.
Under An An's command, the two Cangluan birds found two protruding footholds on the pitch-black cliff on one side to rest.
After resting, he continued to fly upwards.
Finally, as dawn was approaching, the two Cangluan birds broke through the shackles at the top of the Tianchi Minghai Sea and flew to the peak of these countless pitch-black mountain cliffs.
The vision suddenly cleared.
This is almost exactly the same scene that Ye Ming and Wang Luodong saw in the simulation scene. The tops of a pitch-black mountain cliff were connected together, and the gap between the mountain cliffs and the mountain cliffs seemed to be countless criss-crossing ravines at the top of the Tianchi Ming Sea.
There is almost a line away from the sky, the air is extremely thin, and An An has already had a phenomenon of not breathing smoothly, lying on the body of the cangluan bird and inhaling heavily.
"Is it uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, let the cangluan bird take you down. Ye Ming looked at An An's red cheeks and was a little worried.
"It's okay, although the air here is thin, I should be able to get used to it after giving me some time." An An said.
"Okay, if you can't stand it, you must tell me." Ye Ming said.
"Hmm."
This is the first time that Ye Ming has seen the structure of the entire Tianchi Minghai with God's vision, to put it simply, the entire Tianchi Minghai area can be compared to a huge cake, and the surface of the cake has been cut into countless pieces, and the gaps formed by these cutting lines are the hunter's road and the business travel road.
The pieces of cake that have been cut are the cliffs distributed in the Tianchi Minghai. At the top of the Tianchi Lake, if you don't look at the small protrusions and ravines, on the whole, it can be said to be very flat at a glance, like a plain terrain.
There is no one on this.
"Tianchi Minghai is so big, it's really not easy for you to find the person who pushed the stone." Shu He said.
"Since they have all come up, then they must find this person, although the top of Tianchi Minghai is large, the terrain is flat, and it is not difficult to find him." Ye Ming said.
Ye Ming chose to fly directly from the direction of Demon Fire Town to the top of Tianchi Minghai, the person who pushed the stone was not in the sky above Demon Fire Town, so he had to start from Demon Fire Town and go along the direction of Tianyan Valley to find it.
To Ye Ming's surprise, in less than 10 minutes, he found the person who pushed the stone.
"Sure enough, it's him!" When Ye Ming saw this person, it was exactly the same as the person on the portrait he found in the City of Vines.
A young man.
He was pushing a huge stone and struggling to move forward. What's more strange is that Ye Ming and the others had obviously appeared in front of him, and they shouted at him a few times, but he turned a deaf ear and still buried his head and pushed the stone by himself.
"Hey!" Ye Ming walked to the man's side, wanting to pat him on the shoulder.
But Ye Ming's hand passed through this person's shoulder.
"Vision?" Ye Ming was stunned.
Ye Ming touched the stone pushed by this person again, and the stone was real. Strange, this man is illusory and cannot be touched, but can push a real stone?
"I guess there's more than one person pushing rocks here." Ye Ming analyzed.
"What do you mean?" Shu He asked.
"There is only one person here who is real, but he has many visions to help him push stones, and he has to find them."
Then, within an hour, Ye Ming found a total of 36 people pushing stones at the top of Tianchi Minghai, all of whom looked the same, but they were all illusions.
One thing they do all the time is to push stones. When Ye Ming removed the stone in front of them, they would stand in place blankly, then turn around and turn back, looking for another stone to continue pushing.
"The area of Tianchi Minghai is too large, according to the area we just found and combined with the number of illusions distributed in this area, I estimate that there must be thousands of people pushing stones at the top of Tianchi Minghai."
"Whether they are all illusions or whether there is a real person, I can't be sure now, instead of wasting time here, let's ask this person himself, he must be real." Ye Ming said.
"What are you talking about?" Shu He didn't understand.
"I've seen this man, in the late ages. The portrait I found in the City of Vines didn't make me sure that it was him, so I had to go to the top of the Tianchi Sea to take a second look. ”
"There is still a difference between a real person and a portrait, even if these are illusions, but they give me a lot more information than the portrait. I'm sure I've seen him, but there's a problem. Ye Ming thought for a while.
"What's the problem?" Shu He asked.
"He lied. Why lie? Ye Ming said.
If he hadn't lied, Ye Ming would have asked him a long time ago, this question has always bothered Ye Ming.
