Chapter 58. Cursed Lands
The team went all the way deep into the Qinling Mountains, but the surrounding vegetation gradually became a little sparse, and finally, in a stone forest area, they encountered the first problem of entering the Twenty-Four Node Valley, the alien monkey group living in the area around the valley.
These monkeys are different from ordinary monkeys, because of the miracle here, so the monkeys living in this vicinity have almost evolved to the point of being like demons, and they already have a bit of human-like wisdom, and their size and strength are far from being comparable to ordinary monkeys.
And the monkeys have been guarding the Twenty-Four Valleys for so many years, after all, for them, the Twenty Valleys are their home, and they are the only hope that they can achieve higher evolution.
Therefore, in this area, except for the monkeys, there are no other creatures within a radius of more than ten miles, and these extremely domineering monkeys are not allowed to have other creatures to share with them.
However, the monkeys did not attack the team, but climbed the surrounding rocks and cliffs, staring indifferently at the people walking by.
The man at the head of the line looked at the monkeys around him vigilantly, and raised his hand to the communication ring he was wearing on his middle finger.
"President, we have done what you said, and those monkeys really didn't attack us."
Qu Tong's reply came from the ring: "Very good, don't worry about those monkeys, just keep going, as long as you don't make any big moves, those monkeys won't attack you." ”
She had already copied the memories of Granny Jinhua with both hands, and she was already familiar with how to enter the Valley of the Twenty-Four Nodes and the maze Jedi after cracking it.
But out of caution, she still didn't come here in person, after all, the Twenty-Four Jie Valley was really a bit weird, containing great danger, even if she got the accurate path and information from Granny Jinhua's memory, she still didn't come in person.
The son of a daughter, she can't sit still, anyway, she controls so many Inhumans under her hands, just let them help her get things back, she just needs to sit back and enjoy her achievements.
All the way out of the stone forest, a narrow canyon with a depth of dozens of meters appeared in front of everyone.
"President, there is a canyon in front of us, which should be the twenty-knot valley you are talking about."
"Well, tell everyone to go down, let everyone calm down, and don't look at the lines on the canyon rock wall."
This 20-section valley is the legend of the Northern Song Dynasty Taoist master, Ziyang real person Zhang Borui built, spent an unknown amount of effort and energy, on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, carved countless traces of lines.
And the senior master spent so much energy to depict these lines, and his intention was naturally not simple.
Because of the existence of those special lines, the aura in this valley has been completely changed, and those who enter it will be unconsciously affected by the aura in the canyon, which will attract the innate qi in the body and penetrate the human dragon, that is, the spine.
And this is also called the three chariots in the Taoist scriptures, which is a method of refining Qi that has existed since ancient times.
Although the method of the Three Vehicles Force is actually not very profound, the most amazing thing about this canyon is that it can even guide ordinary people who have not cultivated to gradually transform into semi-alien existences!
Therefore, this canyon does not have much effect on the cultivators who have already attained the Aliens, but for ordinary people, or for the monkeys here who are very similar to the human body, it is a road to the sky!
Other than that... Just imagine, if an army of 10,000 ordinary people passed through this canyon and transformed into half-inhumans, what a terrifying thing it would be? How strong will that army be?!
But this is just speculation without evidence, after all, no one knows what the purpose of Ziyang real person Zhang Borui was to build this canyon in the first place.
Moreover, in the original work, there was also a plot of ordinary people entering the Twenty-Four Valleys, which fully demonstrated the utility of this canyon.
Those ordinary people did pass through this canyon and slowly opened some of their own treasures, and gradually transformed into half-human existences... But with that comes the madness that is like falling into a demonic barrier!
As they gained power, they also lost their rationality as human beings and descended into madness, burning their lives like a burning candle.
Even the only survivor who didn't go crazy because of a coincidence was haunted by the curse of this Jedi, and after walking out of the valley, he was killed on the spot by a runaway helicopter!
- It's as if there is a will in the dark that controls all this, and no one is allowed to cross the red line of the taboo, and everyone who touches the taboo must die!
Lu Zhi also stepped into the canyon, and the moment the soles of his feet fell into the canyon, his body suddenly stagnated, only to feel chills all over his body, and his spiritual sense frantically warned him, giving birth to a premonition of immediately turning around and leaving.
The terrifying sense of malice and threat made him tremble, as if this canyon was an ominous place cursed by the heavens!
Lu Zhi: "......"
At that moment, he couldn't help but have a hint of retreat, thinking that he might just wait for those people to bring the rootless treasure out of the valley, and then snatch it from their hands.
But after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it would be better for him to go to the secret room and take a look for himself.
After the initial shock, he quickly regained his composure, and the terrible premonition of stepping into hell was lessened.
He also reacted that the reason why he had such a terrifying feeling should be because his mental power and senses were too sharp, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, he found that in this valley, there is not so much scary.
After all, it is like a sharp sword, and when facing that sharp edge, everyone will be nervous and even afraid, but this does not mean that it will be fatal.
Otherwise, if it was really like the terrible crisis that Lu Zhi sensed at that moment, the team in front of him should have been completely wiped out the moment he stepped into the canyon!
After settling down, Lu Zhi stepped into the canyon in one step!
Sure enough, just as he expected, the ominous, almost suffocating feeling of entering the valley was greatly lessened, and no unknown horror befell him.
Continuing to hang behind the team, it didn't take long for everyone to walk out of the canyon and into the labyrinth of the underground mountainside.
Entering the labyrinth, the oppressive sense of foreboding was much stronger again, and Lu Zhi didn't dare to be careless, so he simply pinched a breathing method and blended directly into the end of the team.
The dark environment in the labyrinth provided a lot of convenience for Lu Zhi, and everyone in the team didn't notice that three steps away from the team actually followed a tail.
Entering the labyrinth, the team did not dare to move forward at will, and every step they took, they had to ask Qu Tong for instructions with the help of the call ring, so the speed of everyone's march couldn't help but slow down, and it took nearly half an hour for everyone to come to their destination.
In the stone room at the end of the labyrinth, a huge stone carving of a yin-yang fish appeared in front of everyone.
"That's it...."Qu Tong commanded a few people through the communication ring.
A person was sent out in the team to stand on top of the Yin-Yang Fish stone carving, and mobilized the innate Yi Qi in his body with a specific Qi route.
Click: Thundered...
After a slight tremor, the Yin-Yang Fish Stone Carving slowly opened to the sides, revealing a stone staircase that led downward.
"It's... A treasure without roots? The bearded man who was at the head of the line muttered to himself.
"What do you see? What are the treasures left behind by rootless growth? Qu Tong's slightly excited voice came from the communication ring.
She was eagerly asking everyone about the treasure when she suddenly heard a whistling wind from the other end of the communication ring.
"What...!"
After a frightened exclamation, the communication ring was suddenly interrupted!
"Hey! Qin Hao?! What's going on? What's wrong?! ”
