Chapter 12: The Secret Land of Ruins (Part I)
The warm morning sun shone on the earth, and everyone had already gathered in the central square. Three young girls stood together and laughed, and four teenagers sat around and played.
"Call the landlord!"
"Grab the landlord!"
"I can't afford it!"
The four teenagers were singing the game terms taught by Xia Yi, and it seemed that her Xia card had spread among the seven of them.
"Director Xia is here!" a voice came out.
Everyone packed up everything and gathered to stand in a row, waiting for Director Xia to approach. Walking to the front of the team, Director Xia looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Today is your important day, and I will lead you to the secret realm of ruins in a while." ”
"Director Xia, what is the Secret Realm of Ruins?" said Xia Tai, who had wanted to ask Director Xia this question for a long time.
"It was a special space with a lot of unknown exercises. You just have to find the exercises that work for you. Xia Dao said mysteriously.
"Unknown exercises, our family's current patriarch should be the highest cultivation method, and he is only at the intermediate level of the ground level. Xia Lin asked suspiciously.
"Yes, boy, you know a lot. However, according to records, more than ten generations ago in our family, someone in the family obtained the Xuan-level intermediate exercises. And the existence of the Ruins cheats has always been a mystery, and no one knows when it existed in the world. It's just that there has been this secret realm of ruins since records began. So I think there should be exercises in it that are higher than the intermediate level of the Xuan Rank, at the very least, there are people who have obtained the Intermediate level of the Xuan Rank in the records. Xia Dao replied.
"Xuan Intermediate Level, what kind of exercise will this kind of exercise be?" Xia Yu said after hearing this.
"Hey, the Xuanjie Exercises are very difficult or not seen in our small town. It is mostly spread in powerful families. Director Xia said with emotion.
"The difference between the exercises in the Ruins Secret Realm and the exercises on the market is that it is not recorded on a scroll, but the predecessors used their own spirit to transform into a certain place in the secret realm, and they must be released when they are destined to be released and directly transmitted to their minds. This is the only chance you have to obtain high-level exercises, and if you can't touch them, you can practice the exercises in the family collection-low-level exercises. Xia Dao continued to explain the secret realm of the ruins.
Everyone was a little nervous after hearing this, hoping to find a suitable exercise. Although this continent mainly looks at the Dou Qi, under the same Dou Qi conditions, a high-level exercise still has a strong suppressive power against a low-level exercise.
The Xia family is in the northernmost part of Qingyuan Town, and the Ruins Secret Realm is fifty miles north of the Xia family. It is under the jurisdiction of the Xia family. Xia Dao took the seven people and began to walk towards the northern end of Qingyuan Town, and when they walked out of the Xia family's residence area, they entered a grassland.
As far as the eye can see, a wave of grass dancing in the wind is interspersed with colorful flowers, butterflies of different colors flutter around the flowers, and sometimes bees come to participate. Looking back, it was the edge of the Xia family that had just walked out, and the thatched houses and wooden frame houses next to each other were spraying curling smoke into the air with the majestic wind of the early morning, and the scene was as beautiful as a picture.
The one-meter-wide path is covered with traces of wheels, and the flowers and plants on the side of the road nod their heads with the majesty of people walking by. Looking ahead, the winding path disappeared into the green grass, not knowing where it would eventually lead.
After an hour-long journey, everyone did not feel tired, because they were all attracted by the beautiful scenery around them and forgot about their tiredness. However, instead of a vast grassland, you will be greeted by a mysterious and towering forest.
"The rest of the road is close to each other, and it's easy to get lost here. Xia Dao said to everyone as he walked towards the forest.
After walking into about ten meters, the trees become more compact, and the staggered arrangement looks like a series of walls, and it is impossible to see at all. The big trees stand tall in the sky, and when you look up, the sky is only the size of an entrance, and people feel like they have fallen into a well. As the sun rises, the heat intensifies, cicadas chirp and birds chirp everywhere, and the sound shuttles through the forest, making people feel silence and fear.
Walk through the forest into a wide clearing, unweeded and made entirely of rocks. A central disc is also carved with strange textures, and on each side of the disc stands a five-meter-high coiling dragon pillar. Behind it, there were several huge rocks lying there in a jumbled manner. The clearing is backed by a green hill, not very high, but green as jade.
Everyone has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, if there is no guidance from Director Xia, it is difficult for everyone to get out of the natural barrier forest here. So it's like a paradise and isolated, exuding an air of mystery and tranquility.
"This is the Ruins, you can walk around, and after a stick of incense, we will begin. Director Xia saw that the children were full of curiosity, so he gave them a little time to familiarize themselves with this place.
Everyone listened to Director Xia's words with joy on their faces, and they went to explore their own curious places in pairs.
There is a pond with a diameter of three meters on the far right side of the clearing, Xia Ning pulled Xia Yi and Xia Ying here, pointed to the pond and said, "Look, the water here is so clear that you can see the bottom." Wow, and a lot of fish. ”
Xia Yi looked at this and wondered in his heart: "Such a small pond, no one manages it all year round, how can there be so many fish alive in the stagnant water?
"This pond is naturally formed, which is a miracle here. Xia Dao also walked over.
The three of them looked at Director Xia suspiciously, not knowing what he meant. Xia Dao walked to the edge of the pond and pointed to the bottom and said, "Look, that black one, it's not a rock, it's a passage to the underground dark river, and there are sometimes more fish here and sometimes less." Sometimes it springs out from here, sometimes it comes back from here. ”
"It's amazing!" Xia Ning said.
Xia Yi touched his chin and nodded, and the doubts in his heart were solved, but in the past, he could only see this kind of thing on the Internet, but when he came to this world, he really felt it.
At this time, the four teenagers had already walked behind the boulder, and suddenly the four of them felt their heads buzzing, which was very uncomfortable. Running back to the center again, Xia Lin walked over to Xia Dao and said, "Xia Dao, a few of us will be uncomfortable when we walk behind the boulder." That's what's going on. ”
Natsu walked towards the center, followed by Natsu and the three maidens. "The wind passing through there creates turbulence, and the friction with the boulders produces sounds that we can't hear," said Xia Dao, who arrived at the central center. But it still irritates our eardrums. So you're going to feel uncomfortable. These are all created in a very special environment, and all the conditions are in place here.
There is still time for half a pillar of incense, and everyone is working hard today. Rest and rest here. Wait until you are energetic to accept the test that follows. ”
"Ahh
Director Xia just smiled at everyone, didn't say anything and turned away. Everyone sat down one after another, chatting and resting.
