Chapter 238, Another Dragon Vein
The advance speed of Xiao Yan and the three of them was very fast, and in a few minutes, they climbed dozens of meters along this low bush. To their surprise, above the bush was a bare rock, and there, Xiao Yan did not see any traces left on the black passage.
It is a passage without beginning and end, and it is not seen where it appears or where it disappears. I only know that on this ridge, there is such a pipe that even insects dare not approach.
Xiao Yan stood on the stone rock and looked around, he could clearly see the rolling Great Wall on the western hillside, he was not sure if the defenders on the Great Wall could see him, but out of caution, he still moved a little towards the stone rock.
"What did you find?"
Laikaon shook the dagger in his hand and walked over, although Xiao Yan wanted Laikaon to be careful, but looking at his strong figure, he knew that this stone rock could not cover Laikaon's body at all.
"No, it's nothing, I'm just guarding myself from the defenders on the Great Wall."
"Not to be seen? weishenmeοΌ Palin, are you still afraid that the defenders will come down from the Wall and then pursue you? β
"Oh, no, it's just subconscious," Xiao Yan paused when he said this, looked up again in the direction of the Great Wall, then looked down at Shi Yan, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think that Shi Yan here is more like a natural barrier?" β
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, if somebody comes up from here and goes straight down the bush. Walk to the official road. None of them will be discovered by the defenders. You can even go straight to the other side of the hill. β
Laikaon glanced down and asked, "What's the use of that?" β
"Listen, Laikaon, there is a village belonging to the demon near the Shanhaiguan, and on the opposite slope of this village, there is a very hidden and very haode stone rock, and in the bushes under the stone rock, there is a strange passage. And. This passage exudes compound toxins that can only be possessed by level 4 monsters, don't you think, there is some connection in this? β
Laikaon frowned and whispered, "Passage? You mean, there's a passage through the belly of the mountain, and it's in touch with the demons? No, no, no, if there is a passage here, it should be on the other side of the Great Wall according to its location, not further from here. β
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. His mind was a little confused for a moment, and he believed that the passage he had just seen was indeed used for communication. But these things simply cannot be proven. What's more, the passage was so small that the most that could get in and out was a snake, or something like a snake, a rope, or a rhizome, or something
Wait, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked Calisto: "Karisto, in this era of the Ming Dynasty, can the rhizome of the Shijie Tree still allow people to walk directly through one place and go directly from one place to another?" I mean, like going straight from London to Paris? β
"There is no access point in Paris, no history, but you can travel from London to Dublin in just 15 minutes. This is recorded in our family books, and in 1872, there was once an awakened person who made an act of circumnavigating the globe, entirely through the rhizome of Eugtrasil. Those fault zones were completed by the real Shijie's means of transportation, and it took a total of 182 hours before and after, making him the fastest awakened person to complete the round-the-world journey since the great rupture of the rhizome of Yuktra Hill. β
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "In other words, in theory, in this era of the Ming Dynasty, the rhizome of the Shijie Tree allowed a person to pass through and travel from the capital to most cities in the south or north?" β
"As long as there is an access point, and the access point keeps the rhizome open to the capital, there is theoretically no problem with this transfer."
Xiao Yan rubbed his eyebrows and whispered, "The people with high-level combat power in Huaxia in this era don't know this purpose of the rhizome of the Shijie Tree, they just use the rhizome as a dragon vein to worship and protect, and they don't think about using the Shijie Tree. β
"However, demons are different, and the demons who can devour the rhizomes of the Shijie Tree must know this characteristic of the Shijie Tree."
Calristo suddenly interjected: "The analysis is good, but there is one thing you have overlooked, Yuctrashil has a huge anger and repulsion towards the demon, and it is impossible to allow the demon to transfer through its rhizome in space. β
Xiao Yan shook his head, looked at Karisto and said, "No, the demon does not transfer through the rhizome of the Shijie Tree, but constructs a spatial transfer channel by itself. β
"The devil built it himself?"
"Yes, build your own. When I left the capital, that Yuan Dao told me that in the second year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian presided over the destruction of the Jinling near the capital, that is, the remaining mausoleum of the Jin Dynasty. Don't get entangled in what dynasty the Jin Dynasty is, in short, you just need to know that the purpose of destroying this mausoleum is to cut off the dragon vein of the Later Jin. β
"That's right, Houjin is the place we are about to go to, and the dragon vein that belongs to this Houjin has been destroyed by Wei Zhongxian twice, I don't know the specific situation, but the information in it is very rich."
"With the strength of Wei Zhongxian and Yuan Daoren, how could they not be able to tell what the real dragon vein was, or rather, of course, they would not mistake the rhizome of the Shijie Tree, nor would they take the initiative to destroy the rhizome of the Shijie Tree. So the question is, the other dragon vein is definitely not the rhizome of the Shijie Tree, where does it come from? Who is it for? β
After listening to this, Calisto was quiet for a while and asked, "Do you suspect that the demon made this rhizome?" β
Xiao Yan frowned and whispered: "This rhizome should not be the product of a demon, it may be that many demons in history have repeatedly cultivated like this to replace the rhizome of the Shijie Tree, I don't know the specific situation." But one thing is certain, Wei Zhongxian and they had already cut off the connection between the demon dragon vein and the entire Central Plains in the second year of the Apocalypse. However, this cut-off is too late, Wei Zhongxian and I have said many times that if it was a few years earlier, it would not be the scene it is now. I didn't know the specific meaning of what he said, thinking that a few years in advance would make the capital not appear so many stoppers, but now that I think about it, what Wei Zhongxian said is probably this demonic dragon vein. β
After thinking about it, Xiao Yan said again: "I know that Wei Zhongxian's ancestral halls are being built in many places in China, but these ancestral halls don't seem to have anything to do with the dragon veins, and I haven't figured out what is going on like this. β
Calisto asked, "Suppressing the demon's dragon blood?" β
"Demon dragon blood? It's not the blood of the dragon, it's the blood of the dragon. Well, without arguing about this, you can understand that this is a shadow channel created by the demon, through which the demon is also able to move around the entire land of China like the Awakened. Not only that, but there may be some other changes to this channel. β
Calristo frowned and said, "This is not good news, the strength of a demon that can create such a passage in a huge country like Yggdrasil is probably not what we can imagine." β
"But this demon must be dead, otherwise this situation would not have occurred in the Ming Dynasty Trial Shijie, if I am not mistaken, although the network of these demons has been preliminarily formed, it has not yet fully grown. With the death of that great demon, the rhizomes made by the demon were on the verge of death, until the extraterritorial heavenly demon in the Ming Dynasty trial shijie, the same demon we are talking about, appeared. β
Calristo nodded and said, "The natives here have found a problem, they have cut off the connection between the dragon vein and the demons outside the Shanhai Pass, and began to suppress the demon dragon veins inside the Shanhaiguan, but this time is too late and too short, and in the end, this dragon vein cannot die immediately." Unless, kill that demon and leave the matter of removing the demon dragon vein to the people behind you. β
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That's it, on the other hand, Wei Zhongxian and the others just cleaned up the demon dragon veins inside the pass, but the dragon veins outside the pass were not cut off, so as long as the demons need it, it can still use this channel to carry out some material transfers, or some other things." β
Calristo looked at the bushes at his feet and asked, "That alone doesn't prove your reasoning correct, I mean, the passage under our feet has a direct connection to the demon's dragon vein. β
Xiao Yan also stared at these bushes and said, "If it weren't for the fear of being discovered, I would like to burn this bush completely right now and see where the passage finally disappears in this bush." β
Calristo frowned and said, "We have to make a decision as soon as possible, among those smells, there is already some smell of blood." β
Xiao Yan looked at Laikaon, who was also looking at the mountain with a solemn face, and asked, "The smell of fresh blood?" β
"At least 4 people died, and their bodies were torn apart, so much blood appeared, and those mutated lives below looked very irritable, and their combat effectiveness was not weak."
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Okay, there is only one way to choose, rush into this bush, the danger is already at the foot of the mountain, compared to those, the unknown danger in the bushes doesn't seem to be so important, let's go." β
Calristo smiled and said, "It was you who just proposed to avoid the unknowable danger and let us come up along this bush, and now it is you who let us enter the bush, Palin, if you are the captain, this team will be played to death by you sooner or later." β
Xiao Yan's face was a little embarrassed, he turned his head to look at Laikaon, who looked indifferent, and said, "Then, you are still in front, and your defense is higher." I was in the middle, and Calristo was behind. (To be continued......)
