Chapter 212: Basin Sinkhole
Taoism cultivates spells, in fact, it is better to be open in the heart.
So, in a relaxed and happy environment, we caught a lot of fatty wild fresh fish from the river, and then Ah Hu rode his tiger stiff to find a lot of firewood nearby, I used the spiritual power fire to directly light these firewood, and made a fire on the river beach to grill the fish!
This is absolutely natural, wild, pollution-free, organic live fish! The real mountain delicacies, without adding any ingredients, are already full of burnt aroma. I held several large fish in my hand and flipped them at the same time, making a sizzling sound that made people jump with their index fingers.
The golden snake said beside him: "It doesn't have the earthy smell of river fish, but it has the fragrance of fish...... Jiang Ming, I see that your grilled fish skills are good, have you ever learned cooking before? ”
I was really defeated by this guy, and said angrily, "This is a fish grilled over a fire, can it be delicious?" Hurry up and send them to Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong, and I will continue to grill fish for the other brothers. ”
The golden snake answered, held back his saliva, took a few big fish from my hand, and ran towards the big stone where Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong were sitting cross-legged. Give the grilled fish to the elders first, which is also how it should be.
Faintly, I seemed to hear the slight conversation and exclamation between Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong, drifting along the mountain wind......
"Know how to adjust your mood before the war, and calm your mind to seek a pure heart...... These two teenagers are extraordinary......"
The faint admiration made me smile.
The worst battle is coming, and I'm still here to grill fish......
That night, everyone ate fragrant grilled fish, and then in the leeward area of the river beach surrounded by large gravel, everyone slept and let out the wind in batches, so as not to attack evil things in the middle of the night.
I slept with my back against a rock more than a meter high, listening to the night breeze blowing through the vast woods, and the cries of unknown birds in the night, empty and mysterious......
The night was peaceful, except that the night was indeed a little cold in the deep mountains and old forests, and the wind was very strong, nothing else happened. So we were able to assemble and set off after dawn in the early morning and continue as fast as we could.
According to Uncle Shan, we followed the river and the canyon towards the end, and the trees on both sides of the river were luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, but it was more difficult to go directly up. Finally, at the end of the valley, the slope of the mountain ahead is gentle, and the trees have become relatively sparse, making it easier to climb from here.
Uncle Shan looked up at the top of the mountain and said, "This is it, I don't know if it's because the shade of the canyon makes it impossible for trees in this area to grow or other reasons, in short, it's a lot easier to go up the mountain directly from here." ”
There is no road at all in this vast mountain, and it is an absolute forbidden place for ordinary people, but as a warlock who has mastered spells. The people spread out and went straight up the hill along the gentle slope. At this time, the advantages of the corpse chasers are enviable, with the help of their respective natal corpse puppets, it is almost impossible to exert too much effort.
Especially Uncle Shan and Ah Hu, their natal corpse puppets are animal-like. Riding directly on their backs, running on this sloping hill is not much different from flat ground.
I and the other Gu Magicians had more trouble, and I had to climb on my own. But fortunately, the use of the "Divine Technique" with the Martial Arts is not too slow. Like an agile mandrill, I raced between the steeper and steeper mountains and trees to the top.
An hour later, we reached the summit of this large mountain. Sure enough, as Uncle Shan said, this is an open flat land, there is no grass, there is not a single tree, bare, as if the top of the mountain has been artificially cut off, and such a flat land appears, which is indeed a bit strange!
But compared to what we saw standing on this empty hilltop flat ground and looking northeast, it was a small thing!
At this time, it is noon, the scorching sun is high in the sky, the clear sky is cloudless, and there is an excellent view between the vast mountains in Xiangxi. We are located on the highest mountain within a radius of more than ten miles, and the surrounding scenery is unobstructed. To the northeast of the mountain, we see that there are several mountain ranges that crisscross each other, forming a vast plain between the mountains, as if it were a small intermountain basin.
And in this basin, there are five giant sinkholes of different sizes!
Looking at it from a distance, the smallest one has a diameter of about 50 meters, and the largest one is probably more than 200 meters!!
Such a huge group of sinkholes is hidden between the most dangerous and wild mountains in Xiangxi, unknown, as if five huge demon mouths in this mysterious basin are open towards the sky, devouring the aura between heaven and earth......
And these sinkholes are relatively regular in shape, which is a bit strange for that alone. It is difficult for all kinds of huge potholes formed in nature to show such a regular circle, and if they can form this shape, it is obviously extraordinary. It is estimated that the "Cave of Flying Immortals" mentioned by the Earth Master of the Yuan Dynasty should be like this.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I thought of the scene in the mysterious and ethereal tomb of ten thousand corpses, the scene in the spiritual thoughts that Wang Xuanfu transmitted to me. Surrounded by mountains, the basin formed by the mountains, and the huge sinkhole caves on the basin seem to be arranged according to some mysterious pattern......
"That's right, this is the place! This is the place where the Quanzhen Patriarch Wang Xuanfu told me, the place of the bones of the Ba snake! I stretched out my hand to the basin in the distance and said with great certainty.
Uncle Shan next to him also nodded: "Sure enough, this time, it seems that I am not mistaken." I came here by chance a few decades ago, but when I was young and didn't want to cause trouble, I didn't take it too seriously...... Alas. ”
"Uncle Shan, don't blame yourself, who knew there would be such a situation? Besides, you were so young, how could you think of so much. If it weren't for you, even if Jiang Ming had obtained this information, it would have been impossible to find this place in such a short period of time. The golden snake persuaded beside him.
Ma Xiong also nodded in agreement, and was able to find this place in one day and one night, and it was indeed thanks to Uncle Shan's experience when he was young, he said: "Since the Quanzhen Patriarch said that the demonic existence in the land of the bones of the snake is about to awaken, it seems that we have to hurry up and rush over, and we can't delay." Go ahead and try to get to the edge of those five sinkholes as quickly as possible to see what's going on inside. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sinkhole in the distance suddenly changed drastically!!
I saw that from the five huge sinkhole caves, a thick black yin qi suddenly erupted! Although it doesn't look special to the naked eye, if you use spiritual vision, you can see five huge beams of black qi rising into the sky, as if they are five giant pillars connecting the sky and the earth!
And after these rich black qi rose into the sky, they dispersed, and the five bundles were actually gathered together, changing into a huge fuzzy shape. It seemed to be a giant human face, and it seemed to be a strange character...... All in all, it shouldn't be like something formed randomly, but like some kind of regular existence, formed under the guidance of magic!!
This...... That's amazing, isn't it? With the help of spells, you can cause such a big movement?! Although this kind of movement is still invisible to the naked eye, that is to say, it has not had much impact on the objective material world. But this is already unbelievable.
I have only seen such a large-scale spell in Wang Xuanfu's memory, in addition to him and Zhang Daoling's top strongmen, can other warlocks also be able to cast it?
Perhaps this scene was too shocking, and the corpse chaser from Jinjiazhai next to him muttered to himself: "This ...... What kind of existence can make such a big move? Are we likely to win? ”
Uncle Shan pretended to be angry and patted his head: "You kid! How can you get discouraged before you actually reach your destination? Although the demonic people are powerful, they act against the heavens after all, and they are not tolerated by heaven and earth. Also, move your head carefully and think about it, if those demons can really make such a big move with their own strength, will they still endure and lurk for so long? ”
When I heard him say this, my heart suddenly moved, and when I looked at the basin again, I understood.
It dawned on me, "I see! These terrifying black yin qi were not created by those demons themselves using their own strength. Since the original assistant to the prince of the Yuan Dynasty was a geographically veined earth master, and he found this almost unheard of Flying Immortal Cave, I am afraid that the earth qi surging energy is extremely large, and those black qi rushing to the sky just now may only be the release of the natural yin and evil power of this place itself, not the power of those demonic people themselves. ”
Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong both nodded slightly, agreeing with my opinion. Indeed, this explanation is the most plausible and most likely.
"Although I don't understand the complicated twists and turns of Taoist priests, I have also heard that the qi of nature should be in harmony with the time of heaven. If it's the yin qi of the transformation of the earth's qi, it shouldn't be able to appear at noon, when the sun is just at the beginning, right? The golden snake was a little unconvinced and asked questions.
I went on to explain: "Taoism has always said that yin and yang are mutually beneficial, but in fact, there is a misunderstanding that the yin energy is the heaviest and the yang energy is the heaviest in the day. The heaviest time of true yang energy is in the darkest minutes before dawn. And the heaviest yin qi is precisely when it is around twelve o'clock in the middle of the day for two or three minutes! ”
I saw that everyone's expressions were a little surprised, so I continued to explain: "The traditional Chinese thought is too much, otherwise it is extremely Tailai. Anything that has developed to the extreme is likely to go in the opposite direction, and the same is true for yin and yang. Therefore, when the yin qi is at its heaviest, it will ...... around 12 o'clock at noon" (to be continued.) )
