Chapter 43: The Land of Wind and Rustle
Everyone else nodded firmly to me, I took a deep breath and pressed on the stone pillar engraved with a sentence pattern, and at that moment I suddenly smelled the fragrance of grass and a faint fragrance of flowers, and when we came back to our senses, we were surrounded by grass and all kinds of wild flowers blooming all over the field, and everywhere was full of spring vitality.
We were all a little surprised and dazed when we suddenly saw such a peaceful and peaceful scene, but we all quickly relaxed, and we felt that we had not been so comfortable for a long time.
It seemed to be completely different from the wind-blown land described to us, and we even felt that we were in the wrong place, and not far from us was the altar, on which the azure one was placed.
The only thing that puzzled us was that the green grass here was covered with a layer of white powder, and I felt a little rough when I rubbed it with my hands, but I didn't know what it was for a while.
Since this is the land of wind and sand of the wind god Jumang, according to the words of the envoy, the power of the wind god of Mang made the ancient gods and demons fearful, but in the face of this vibrant scene in front of us, we really don't understand what is so powerful in this sentence.
However, after seeing the power of Zhu Rong and Zhu Rong, he naturally didn't dare to take Ju Mang lightly, and walked cautiously towards the altar, Gu Xiaoxiao and Yun Duruo seemed to be very relaxed here, maybe the places they had experienced before were all dangerous, could there be a place that made people feel happy.
"This ...... There is a ...... under this grass" We were attracted by Yun Duruo's surprised voice, and turned our heads to see her pointing to the grass under our feet, and we gathered around to see something shining golden in the grass.
"Gold?!" Han Yu recognized it for a long time and suddenly said in shock.
"There's still one here." Gu Xiaoxiao bent down and said excitedly.
When we carefully look at the gold on the ground, there is not only one piece, but all over the ground, not only in the golden meadow we also see countless jade, I don't know that there is such a magical place in the glazed exquisite tower, I was surprised to look far away, but everywhere I can see, the green grass in the sun is refracted with golden light, that is, the entire wind and sand land of the grass is covered with gold and jade.
"I remember my grandfather told me that in ancient times, there was a place called Corpse Hu Mountain, where the grass in the mountains was endless and the sky was full of lush grassland, and there was gold and jade in it, which could be called the ancient treasure mountain." Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something, and her expression slowly became a little grim. "And the god of the desolate wind lives in this mountain."
"Jumang is obviously the god of wind, how can the place where he lives be a genius of wind and sand, right, he actually lives in the ancient treasure mountain." Han Yu smiled playfully, bent down and picked up a piece of gold from the ground.
"Don't move!"
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted, but Han Yu had already picked up the gold, and asked in surprise when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao with a panicked expression.
"What's wrong?"
Before Gu Xiaoxiao could answer, suddenly the originally peaceful and peaceful heaven and earth were violently windy, and the cold wind blew out of thin air and hit him, only to feel that the whole heaven and earth were shrouded in raging wind and sand, and it was difficult to open his eyes at all.
The never-ending wind blew by, and the grass and wildflowers under our feet suddenly withered and withered, and finally turned into a smear of ashes and were swept into the wind and fluttered all over the sky.
This should be the land of wind and sand that we have always envisioned, but we have never been able to react to the rapid changes.
"How did it suddenly become like this?" Han Yu asked in surprise.
"There is a lot of gold and jade in Corpse Hu Mountain, but no one has ever been able to take anything away from it, because once it touches the gold and jade, it will anger the wind god Jumang, and the entire Corpse Hu Mountain will fall into the wind and sand, and this wind and sand is extraordinary......" Gu Xiaoxiao's gaze fell on the gold in Han Yu's hand and said in horror.
"The wind and sand pass a ......" Han Yu suddenly reacted, and hurriedly dropped the gold in his hand, and when he looked up, I was stunned, and hurriedly looked around at the others, and was surprised to find that everyone had deep wrinkles on their faces in the wind and sand, as if they had suddenly aged a lot.
In addition to the withered powder of flowers and plants in the wind, there was also the white grit I had seen before, and now the blow on my face was unbearable, and I wiped it on my face, and my fingers were stained with a lot, and I subconsciously rubbed it and suddenly raised my head.
Ashes!
These white powders should be ashes, all of which are the ancient gods and demons and heavenly beings who have not been able to break out of this land of wind and sand, because they can't resist the power of the divine wind of Jumang, they gradually age in this wind and sand until they die, and finally turn into dry bones and are also sharpened into powder by feng shui.
The longer we endure the wind and sand, the faster we will age, not to mention that we are just ordinary people, and how much can we withstand the erosion of wind and sand in our decades of life, if we can't get out of here as soon as possible, it won't take long for us to become a handful of ashes in this wind and sand.
Fortunately, the altar was not far away, we ran to the altar quickly, just about to reach the altar, suddenly a strong whirlwind rose from around the altar, we were not stable at all and were blown to the ground, the whirlwind continued to gather in front of us and finally turned into a tornado connecting heaven and earth, our body involuntarily began to be pulled by it, as if to suck us in.
The vajra was inserted into the ground heavily, and Han Yu also inserted it into the ground, and we pulled each other to barely stand firm.
"If you want to take the Wind God Bead, you must enter the tornado, since this altar is guarded by Jumang, then this tornado should be the real power of the Wind God, the ancient gods and demons are difficult to resist, we are all mortals now, how can we withstand the consumption of this wind and sand in just a few decades." Han Yu said loudly in the wind.
"I'll go." Yun Duruo suddenly said calmly.
"You?" We looked at her in amazement.
"This power of the wind god can consume time to make people old and die, you all have a lifespan, but now I don't forget that I am immortal now, how can I be afraid of this wind god's power if I don't have a lifespan." Yun Duruo said seriously.
Only then did we remember that Yun Duruo is indeed the only one among us who is not afraid of the power of the wind god, she can live forever beyond life and death, and naturally she will not be afraid of the consumption of life, thinking of this, I looked at Yun Duruo's face, she is indeed different from us, as time goes by, the wrinkles on our faces are getting deeper and deeper, but Yun Duruo's face has not changed in the slightest.
Yun Duruo may not be afraid of the power of the wind god, but the wind god bead on the altar can be wrapped in a strong tornado, we are worried that Yun Duruo will be involved, Han Yu took a deep breath and pulled out the thunder shadow, quickly drew a circle around us, and picked up a mouth with words, the talisman ignited in response, Han Yu raised the talisman after the curse, and the circle drawn before shone with the light of the blue and the underworld.
"The tornado is a divine wind, and once it is sucked in, our short life span of a few decades will be wiped out in an instant." Han Yu said loudly to Yun Duruo with a grim face. "I use the Dao method to sacrifice the Wind Fixation Mantra, in this circle, we will not be eroded by the wind and sand for the time being, but I'm afraid it won't last long, and we must get the Wind God Bead before the Wind Fixing Mantra is blown away."
We hurriedly held each other's hands, and finally I pulled Yun Duruo tightly, watching her slowly stretch out her hand into the whirlwind.
When Yun Duruo's hand penetrated the whirlwind, we were shocked to find that Yun Duruo's white and slender hand suddenly became dry and fleshless, leaving only a piece of skin wrapped around the hand bone, and in the whirlwind, her skin was blown and eroded faster and faster, and in the end, even the thin layer of skin faded with the wind.
But what shocked us even more was that although Yun Duruo's skin and flesh continued to die in the wind and sand, but soon a new one grew rapidly, and the hand that was blown just now and was about to expose the skeleton instantly returned to its original appearance as if it was reborn, and Yun Duruo's hand gradually approached the Wind God Bead in the repeated alternation.
The blood clan has the ability to repair itself and be reborn, fortunately it is Yun Duruo, otherwise anyone who insists on it until now is afraid that it has already turned into powder in the wind and sand, seeing that Yun Duruo is about to get the Wind God Bead, I suddenly saw that in the tornado, the original flying gravel suddenly began to slowly gather, and it was no longer blown away in the wind, and gradually outlined the outline of a big bird in our eyes.
As the sand and gravel continue to gather, the outline becomes clearer and clearer, and finally forms a vivid appearance in front of us.
Sentence!
Gu Xiaoxiao raised his head and also saw the vision in the tornado, and loudly issued a warning behind him.
The sentence composed of gravel floated in the air in the wind and sand, and the wind and sand rolled up and down the bird's wings were more powerful, and I suddenly saw that Yun Duruo's hand was eroded faster in the whirlwind, and the speed of self-repair and rebirth of her blood clan was far less than the speed of erosion, Yun Duruo still wanted to insist, but I knew very well that if I hesitated for a moment, even Yun Duruo was afraid that it would be turned into a handful of dust.
"No more!" Han Yu's anxious voice came from behind me. "Jumang's kamikaze power is too domineering, and my wind fixing spell will be blown soon."
I glanced back at the circle that Han Yu had raised with Taoist sacrifices, the light of the green darkness on it gradually dimmed in the wind, and the wind and sand passed one by one, if it were not for Han Yu's wind spell to protect us, I am afraid that in an instant, a few of us would have died here in just a few decades of life.
I pulled Yun Duruo back from the tornado, and her skeletal hand was quickly restored.
"I'm going to get it soon, why are you pulling me back." Yun Duruo asked me regretfully.
"Even if you are a blood clan and can live forever, the speed at which you repair and regenerate yourself cannot resist the erosion of the power of the Jumang Wind God." I said with a heavy sigh.
"Then what should I do, the Wind Fixing Spell is about to be blown away, Sister Du Ruo can't resist the erosion of wind and sand, who else can we go to get the Wind God Bead." Gu Xiao asked anxiously.
I took a deep breath and licked my lips without looking back at the whirlwind that could consume time and life.
"I might be able to get it!"
