Chapter 391: A Discovery
The matter was quickly settled, and it was still divided into four roads like the first time, from four different directions in the southeast, south, northwest, and towards the top of each mountain peak, and this time the extra Dugu Jin followed Ji Zi'an and Ji Wuxin all the way, which was still requested by Ji Zi'an.
After the separation, when Hua Chengcheng followed Cang Wunian around the mountainside, he asked when he had nothing to do: "Brother Wunian, do you think Ji Zi'an is a little strange today? What's even more strange is that he actually took the initiative to ask Senior Dugu to follow him and Ji Wuxin all the way. β
Cang Wunian groaned for a moment and replied, "Maybe he thought of something that we didn't expect, did he and Qing Ci talk about something behind us before?"
Hua Chengcheng pouted, "What are you talking about, is there anything we can't know?"
Cang Wunian smiled, "Probably because he wasn't sure, he didn't say it, so as not to mislead everyone." Qingci's kid obviously got up on his own, not what Ji Zi'an wanted to tell him. β
"How do you explain the matter of Dugu's predecessor?" asked Hua Chengcheng puzzled.
"Dugu senior...... Maybe it has something to do with what Ji Zi'an thought of, their Wu clan has some relationship with the Biluo Immortal Sect, maybe they have to rely on them if they want to find Yaoguang Aya this time. Cang Wunian guessed.
"I hope so, I don't know if this Shenyu tomb will be opened today or tomorrow, the nine of us are wandering around in this Shifan Mountain, like looking for a needle in a haystack. "The painting of Allure sighed while kicking the stones and branches on the road with his foot, which was very boring.
In this way, like a little minion patrolling the mountain, the nine people slowly marched in this Shifan Mountain for more than an hour. Everything around is still very quiet, occasionally you can hear some bird calls, and see some small animals speeding through the forest because they are frightened.
"Alas, I feel that this mountain is no different from the previous two days! Could it be that this tomb of Shenyu will not be opened until night? If that is the case, we will have to spend the night in the mountains and forests tonight. Hua Chengcheng looked around and said with a bit of gloom.
Seeing her disappointed appearance, Cang Wunian subconsciously took her hand and comforted her softly: "Even if you have to stay in the mountains and forests all night, I will be by your side, don't be afraid." β
Hua Chengcheng glanced down at the hands held by the two, then looked up at Cang Wunian's deep eyes, smiled slightly and shook his head, "I'm not afraid of staying in this deep mountain and old forest overnight, I'm afraid that I won't find Shenyu's tomb."
"If we don't get Aya, we'll have to wait another three thousand years. Three thousand years...... Whether I'll be able to survive that long is still a big question. β
Cang Wunian glanced at her with some disgust, "I will definitely find it, even if I can't find it, I will accompany you for three thousand years, you are the established painting soul of the painting clan, how can the life span be comparable to ordinary people? Not to mention three thousand years, even if it is thirty thousand years, we can afford to wait." β
Hearing Cang Wunian say this, Hua Allure's heart was a little warm, but before he could be happy, his mood suddenly fell again, "Alas, even if I find Yaoguang Aya, there are still a lot of things to look for one by one! The merman clan in the South China Sea should be the closest place to us except for Linjie Island in the East China Sea, right?"
"But we still don't have a clue. And that thing is the Golden Shark King's half-life, we can't force the Golden Shark King to unload the golden scales of his whole body to weave the Dragon Silk for us, isn't that forcing her to die?"
"Painting, do you regret it?" asked Cang Wunian softly.
Hua Chengcheng shook his head, "No, since you have decided to do it, you will naturally not regret it." However, if I want the Golden Shark King to sacrifice his life to make me become a painting soul, I can't do it. Could it be that Brother Wunian can reshape your soul with a life with peace of mind?"
Cang Wunian's brows furrowed, "I can't let others sacrifice their lives in exchange for my soul, and now I can only hope that the Golden Shark King of the Shark Clan is approaching, or she has not yet put on the Golden Scale Armor left by the previous Golden Shark King." β
"Alas, it's not good to curse people's souls to return to Huangquan after all, I still hope that the current Golden Shark King is better off without wearing the Golden Scale Armor. The painting Allure sighed with a sad face.
......
On the other road, Ji Zi'an, Ji Wuxin and Dugu Jin also walked carelessly, and the three of them almost didn't say anything along the way. Ji Zi'an and Dugu Jin had their own thoughts, but Ji Wuxin was because neither of them had the intention of speaking, and she didn't dare to speak.
The three of them seemed to have circled the mountainside, and they didn't know where they went, but when they looked around, they saw the col between the two peaks.
"What kind of place is this? We don't seem to have been here for the other two days. Ji Zi'an raised his eyes violently and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Dugu Jin frowned and looked at it for a long time, and said solemnly: "It shouldn't be...... I've walked almost every corner of this Shifan Mountain, how come I don't remember such a col?"
"You haven't seen this col yet?" Ji Zi'an and Ji Wuxin were stunned.
Dugu Jin didn't seem to hear the suspicious questions of the two, and his eyes were still staring at the distance. Generally speaking, the cols of both mountains will appear as wide flat land, and there will usually be a different number of people living on this flat land.
But the col was flat, but uninhabited, and everything around it looked pristine, as if it had never been discovered.
What the hell is going on?
All three of them were full of doubts.
Suddenly, the three of them felt a slight shaking under their feet, like the aftershocks of an earthquake, and if they hadn't all stopped where they were, they wouldn't have even felt it.
Immediately afterwards, the col they saw also underwent an incredible changeβthey saw a puddle of clear water suddenly emerge from a depression in the center of the col, as if people had dug a water source when they were digging a well, and the water suddenly came out of the ground.
Then the small hollow was quickly filled with water, and then began to overflow in all directions.
"This ...... Could it be a flash flood that is about to erupt?" Ji Wuxin said.
"It doesn't look like it, how could a torrent come out of here?" Dugu Jin stared at the puddle of clear water with some puzzlement. The water seems too mild for people to associate with flash floods.
Just as the three of them were trying to take a closer look, their feet shook violently, nearly knocking them to the ground.
The three of them were startled by the sudden earthquake-like tremor, and when they stabilized their bodies and looked towards the col again, the three of them were stunned - the water that originally came out of the ground was only a small pool of clear water, and in such a moment, the clear water suddenly filled the small half of the col.
"It's not good, let's go over and take a look!" Ji Zi'an's face sank, and he wanted to move down and rush down.
"Master!" Ji Wuxin stopped him worriedly, "Should we inform the others first?"
Ji Zi'an's face sank a little more, and when he answered, his figure had already flown towards the mountain col, "When they rush over, either the flash flood broke out, or the Shenyu tomb has been closed." β
Having said that, Ji Zi'an still used his mana to hurriedly say in his heart: "We seem to have found the tomb of Shenyu!"
The three passers-by were a little depressed, and suddenly heard Ji Zi'an's voice, and everyone became excited.
"Brother Ji, where are you?"
"Tell us where you are!"
"What's around? We'll go right over!"
Six, you said word by word.
Ji Zi'an frowned, he suddenly realized that he didn't know how to describe the place he was where he was now to others, because this place was very strange and didn't seem to exist in the first place.
"I don't know where this is. After pondering for a moment, Ji Zi'an said this helplessly.
When the six of them heard this, they were all stunned.
"Brother Ji, ignite the communication order!" Cang Wunian suddenly said in a deep voice.
Ji Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that on the day they had just arrived at the outskirts of Puqiu City, before Cang Wunian and Hua Allure and Qing Ci were about to sneak into the city, Cang Wunian had left each of them a black butterfly-shaped Qianji Pavilion communication order.
At that time, Cang Wuyan told everyone that there was a phosphorus fire bomb in the butterfly's belly, and if it was shot into the air quickly with mana, it would burn and burst, and the explosion would last more than ten times, looking like fireworks.
At the moment, Ji Zi'an couldn't describe where they were well, and after using this communication order, if the rest of the people could see it, they would be able to quickly rush in this direction.
Ji Zi'an didn't think much about it, as soon as he beckoned, the black butterfly-shaped thing appeared in his hand, and with a flick of his finger, a mana directly shot the communication order into the air, and after a "chirp", a cloud of fireworks exploded in the sky above their location.
Although it was daytime, the fireworks in the sky were not as noticeable as they were at night. But after all, this communication order has been transformed by Cang Wunian, so the effect is not very bad. Moreover, in this quiet mountain forest, the sound of fireworks bursting is still very noticeable.
"I saw it!" Soon, Zi'an heard Qingci's voice.
"I saw it too!" Cang Wunian said next.
"Why didn't I see that?" said Luo Fan in speechless and surprised.
At this time, Luo Fan and Qiao Sanniang happened to be on the back of another peak, which was the highest in the entire Shifan Mountain, and their view was just blocked, so they only vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers exploding, and did not see where the fireworks were.
"Senior Luo Fan, did you hear the sound of firecrackers exploding?" Cang Wunian hurriedly asked.
"I can hear this vaguely. Luo Fan replied.
"Then follow the sound first. We rushed in the direction of Brother Ji first. Cang Wunian said hurriedly.
