Chapter 174: Treasure Hunting in the Heavenly Mountains
After some acquaintance, Hu Chong really played the value of the living map, for the distance planning in the direction of the Tianshan Mountains, it was the way, so that the old man couldn't help nodding and praised, with Hu Chong accompanying the old man to talk and laugh, I was able to quietly practice the way of the sword. However, this road still has to be rushed, to the Tianshan Mountain Range, there are still hundreds of miles away, although the distance does not seem to be far, but the journey is bumpy, extraordinary, first of all, I have to pass through this sky of yellow sand, and secondly, I have to worry about the problem of water sources, and most importantly, I also have to find time to practice the Mixed Yuan Exercise, as well as the Nine Veins Dao Sword!
More heavy responsibilities on my shoulders, I don't dare to be a little sloppy, I don't dare to be lazy, they are the first to go all the way, I then catch up with their footsteps, I can resist the six qi, the speed of the road is especially fast, they are about three days on the road, I only need a few hours to catch up. In this way, our journey is moving forward little by little in such a boring process.
Xu Lao said that the destination of our trip is in the Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains, Tianchi, which was called Yaochi in ancient times, and Yaochi is the blessed land of the West Queen Mother, where thousands of immortals gather, and it is the abode of the gods. Moreover, the ascension platform guarded by the four envoys of the Heavenly Demon is also very likely to be near the Yao Pond, where good and evil are entangled, where there is a righteous path, there will definitely be a demon way, and where there is a demon path, there will also be a righteous path to come into being, in this way, Yao Chi is the residence of the gods, and there will be footprints of the heavenly demons nearby.
Then the ascension platform guarded by the four envoys of the Heavenly Demon will also appear near Yaochi accordingly, and we have another important thing in this trip, that is, to find a heavenly and earthly treasure, to make a weapon for me, and the previous refining of the divine whip was damaged, so that I could enter the kendo cultivation.
After half a month, Elder Xuxu has taught me the six-style nine-vein Dao sword, these six styles are more difficult step by step, and I think that the next three styles will be learned only when I reach the Tianshan Mountain Range. In order to cultivate the Nine Veins Dao Sword as soon as possible, I hardly eat or sleep, and only rely on a little bit of water to make a living, in fact, I don't need to eat so much, because with the continuous improvement of the Mixed Yuan Technique, I am no longer too demanding of the essence of the five grains, but it is the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, and the support of the innate Qi, even if I don't eat anything for a month or two, I can live with a little water.
Once I break through to the sixth layer, I will be able to completely cut off the desire for the five grains, and at that time, I will be able to fully immerse myself in the state of cultivation, whether I am sitting, lying, walking, or living, I am in the process of cultivation, and it no longer matters whether I am in retreat or not, that is the true realm. It's just that at present, a small amount of mundane things are needed to support the body and mind, and the gap between the fifth and sixth layers seems to be very small, but in fact it is very large.
Along the way, I tried to touch the edge of the sixth layer realm, but I couldn't even touch the shadow of the sixth layer, so I could only stay at the peak of the fifth layer, constantly wandering. Although I was able to transform into the vast Innate Qi, I was only able to continuously stabilize the peak realm of the fifth layer, and I couldn't make any further progress.
I don't know what it means to be old, maybe there will be some chance when I get to Tianchi, but now I think about it, I don't know. You can only take one step at a time......
After more than a month, we finally saw the green grassland, walked out of the vast desert, saw those green mountains and green waters, I seemed to see relatives, and Hu Chong cried even more silently...... "I didn't dare to cross the desert when I grew so big, I didn't expect to do it now, woo woo woo ...... "In addition to Ling'er is not stained with mortal dust, several of us are gray faces, so many days, almost never washed our faces, let alone changed our clothes, and our bodies are dirty like beggars."
After a good wash, not far ahead, it seems that there is a small town, and the people here are dressed in different costumes from the south, most of them are ethnic minority clothes, beautiful and exotic.
It is said that it is a town, in fact, it is better to say that it is a gathering place of several herdsmen, there is no inn here, there is no restaurant, but the people here are very warm, seeing that we are cultivators, they are very pious to entertain us, although many of them are not believers, there are many believers of other religions, but they are very friendly, let us feel a strong simple taste.
It's just that the wine here makes the old man a little dissatisfied, what he usually drinks is goat's milk wine, and the degree is not high, but we repaired it for three days, and the old man is addicted to drinking, and finally a caravan brought a batch of Xinjiang Moutai to attract the old man out of the tent.
When the herders knew that we were going to the Tien Shan Mountains, they thought that we were performing a very pious and sacred ceremony, and they worshipped their own mountain, and they regarded the Tien Shan as a sacred mountain, a god who blessed them.
And about the legend of the Tianshan Mountains, the herdsmen are also inexhaustible, especially the Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains, the herdsmen are particularly longing, and there is a man named Zhuo Mu Huba, drunk and drunk, and read a poem to us: "The towering stone gorge Yaochi Gate, the cliff hangs in the sky and breaks the soul." The devil's axe is chopped by a knife, and the first line is on the blue sky! "If we want to go to Tianchi, we must first go to the stone gate of Tianchi, where there are gods guarding us, and we will be blessed.
Maybe they don't understand the Taoist immortal system, but for their kindness, we are naturally grateful again and again.
The herdsmen prepared a lot of food for us, for the journey, and introduced to us the origin, location, route and so on of the Tianshan Tianchi, just because the altitude of the Tianshan Mountains is very high, and covers a very large area, the legend is one of the seven major mountain systems in the world, across four countries, the total length is more than 5,000 miles, the width of the north and south is about hundreds of miles, the widest place is more than 1,000 miles, the highest peak, the altitude is thousands of zhang, people walk in the meantime, like a drop in the ocean, self-insignificant.
That may be the majesty of nature, the incomparable magic of the axe.
Huba said that the altitude of the mountain is very high, southerners are prone to hypoxia, in order not to let us take more unjust roads and waste physical strength, Huba enthusiastically sent us across the vast plain, towards the majestic Tianshan Mountain, from a distance, the Tianshan seems to be in front of us, in fact, I don't know, the higher the mountain, the more it will give people an illusion. It wasn't until we rode our horses for about three days that we really came to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and Huba pointed out the direction of Tianchi for us, and then stopped, he didn't ask us what we were doing in Tianchi, maybe he thought we were here to worship the holy mountain.
Huba watched us enter the mountains before turning away.
In the distance, there are countless white-headed peaks, which seem to have perennial ice and snow, which is very beautiful and magnificent. After walking for a long time, Hu Chong couldn't help but brag about his knowledge, saying that there were some treasures in Tianchi, but I asked with a smile: "Then can you use your talent and find out all those treasures?" ”
"Uh...... Maybe I can try, hehe! ”
Hu Chong was stunned for a moment, and then grinned.
"There is something important to do when you come to Tianchi in Tianshan, not for you to play!"
The old man blamed, and then said: "Hu Chonglai, there is also a heavy responsibility, first since it is almost to the Tianchi, it can be said that it is rumored that after the Taishang Laojun originally sent a letter to the valley in the west, it was no trace of immortals, but then someone met the Taishang Laojun in that Yaochi, and the Yaochi is also the Tianchi we are looking for. Shine with the sun and the moon, either the way is the devil! In order to occupy the abode of the immortals, the snow monster led the small snow monsters under the seat, and rushed to Yaochi to attack the cave blessed land of the Queen Mother of the West. After speaking, he took out a piece of cold iron obtained from Kunlun Mountain, tempered by the divine fire of Zhurong, and sacrificed by the divine water of Gonggong, which contained the soul of the gods and demons, the qi of the five elements, and the spirit of the four times. ”
Hearing Elder Xu's words, I opened my mouth slightly and couldn't help but ask Elder Xu, "Then, what is the name of this sword of gods and demons?" ”
Hearing this, Void Lao shook his head and said: "From forging, to destroying monsters, and then sinking into the land of Yao Chi, it is just a moment, and it is not named, some people call it the Ziyang Sword, some people call it the Heavenly Evil Sword, and some people say that it is the God and Demon Sword, but in the end it is inconclusive, if we can find this sword on this trip, with the power of this sword, carry the sword technique of the Nine Veins Dao Sword, which can be called a perfect combination, perfect!" ”
After that, the old man turned his head and glanced at me, and said: "But during this period, Xianchu must integrate all the nine-style swordsmanship of the Nine Veins Dao Sword, before coming to the Tianshan Mountains, the old man has already taught you all the sword techniques of the Nine Veins Dao Sword, and the lightning strike wooden sword may not last too long, so you must find that artifact as soon as possible!" ”
"Void Elder, such a divine weapon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it in the world, do you have to find the supreme artifact?"
I asked, slightly stunned.
