Chapter 63 The Valley of Corpses
"Master, do you know what is the origin of this old guy?" The more Li Xiaotian thought about it, the more curious he became, he always felt that this flower-haired old man had something to do with Qin Shuo.
Spirituality has always been a being that transcends nature, is subordinate to the Tao, and is the humanity of the Almighty. It was not as well-known as ordinary Huaxia Gongfu, and even Qin Shuo knew very little about it. The old man I saw for the first time today was a spiritual power. Now it seems that the other party has no intention of embarrassing Li Xiaotian, but his strength still makes him fearful.
"I don't know, this person has lived no less than me, and his spiritual power is above mine. Disciple, if you really want to find the Mist Grass, in my opinion, you still have to find a way to please him, otherwise I am afraid of ......."
Is it another thousand-year-old monster? Li Xiaotian suddenly thought, "Old man Qin, you won't be brothers in the same sect, right?" Everyone is a monster, you see if you can reminisce about the old days or something. What if it was a family thousands of years ago? ”
Li Xiaotian's flowery intestines Qin Shuo knew at a glance, but he was very sure that this person had nothing to do with him. Coupled with the strong spiritual power of the other party, Qin Shuo didn't dare to offend easily, so he scolded, "Reminiscing about the old fart! ”
Is it really so terrible? When Li Xiaotian was chattering, he unconsciously came to a low point. Dead trees could be seen everywhere, and a white skeleton appeared in front of him on the ground.
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but shudder, why are there so many corpses here. Most of these people are leaning against dead trees, and some of the clothes around the bones are still intact. In this way, they should not have been dead for long.
Li Xiaotian was bold, stepped forward and gently grabbed the clothes next to a corpse.
This is by no means the dress of modern people! Li Xiaotian stood up and looked at the other bones, only to see a tattered bamboo basket next to the other corpse.
Bamboo baskets are often tools used by the ancients to collect medicines. Li Xiaotian guessed that the identities of these people might be the legendary people who came to the Misty Forest to look for the misty grass. Looking at the fact that there were no sharp weapons on their bones, it seems that these people did not die because of murder. Moreover, their bones are all white, and the theory of poisoning is unreasonable.
So, why did they die here in droves? Li Xiaotian was puzzled and said, "Master, what do you think they died for?" ”
It was not a natural disaster, nor a man-made disaster, Qin Shuo looked at the serenity of these corpses and guessed, "Maybe they died of exhaustion because they lost their way." ”
Although it does look a little gloomy here, it is not a labyrinth, so how can they get lost collectively in this place? Speaking of getting lost, Li Xiaotian naturally remembered the previous sea of fog, so he felt even more strange. These people did not die in the sea of fog, but in a trough, which is also ridiculous.
By this time, it was already dark. What's even worse is that a thick fog rose in the trough, whether it is slow or not, whether it is fast or not, it is about to sweep Li Xiaotian and Lao Heibian in a short time.
"Sea of fog!" Li Xiaotian exclaimed, and hurriedly said, "Old Hei, this place is not suitable for a long time, hurry up!"
The two of them retreated in the direction of the bamboo forest in a panic, and this scene fell into the eyes of Zhou Lao.
"Haha......" Old Zhou stroked his beard and smiled, and disappeared into the fog in a blink of an eye.
This fog was deliberately released by him, and its purpose was precisely to scare Li Xiaotian away. Zhou Lao has guarded the entrance of the small world for many years, and the sea of fog is a major means to protect it from external interference. If it weren't for this sea of fog, the entrance to the small world would have been revealed to the world long ago. Zhou Lao had no intention of killing everyone who came to the Misty Forest to look for the Mist Grass, and the fog tunnel he created was to guide the medicine seekers in the direction of entering the deciduous bamboo forest.
It's just that the mist grass is its medicine, and Zhou Lao doesn't want it to fall into the hands of salted fish easily. In other words, in his opinion, if he wants to get the Fog Grass, he must pass the test of the Sea of Fog. The so-called sea of fog is just a fantasy made by Zhou Lao gathering spiritual power in the trough. Those who get lost in it and die will never know that they have been going around in circles all along.
Li Xiaotian's luck was because of Lao Hei, he passed the test of Zhou Lao, and after the fog dissipated, he was fortunate to see the deciduous bamboo. However, inside the trough, it was the entrance to the small world, and Zhou Lao saw that Li Xiaotian almost strayed into it, so he re-fogged and stopped Li Xiaotian.
After Li Xiaotian and Lao Hei withdrew from the trough, they came to the edge of the deciduous bamboo forest again. Taking advantage of the night, he planned to quietly touch into the bamboo forest, and go back immediately after finding the misty grass. As the old saying goes, you can't hide if you can't be provoked, Li Xiaotian tiptoed and thought he was very careful, but he still couldn't escape Zhou Lao's eyes.
Zhou Lao saw that Li Xiaotian had entered the deciduous bamboo, and he did not interfere, because it was not easy in this deciduous bamboo, if he didn't have some means, I am afraid it would be difficult to get out of it alive. After Li Xiaotian entered the sea of fog, Zhou Lao sensed the arrival of the pure yang bloodline. In the small world, the pure yang bloodline is not a rare thing, but Li Xiaotian is not a person in the small world, which aroused Zhou Lao's curiosity, and he is also looking forward to what means Li Xiaotian can use to fight against the poison of the spiritual mist generated by the mist grass.
The poison of the mist grass has always been domineering, and it often only takes one breath to make ordinary people unable to return to heaven. This poison is not like the poison of the world, some of which attack the heart and some of which attack the blood. Its poison is attacked on the meridians, after ordinary people suffer from the first meridians are blocked, and then broken, all parts of the human body can not function normally, and finally the yin and yang qi dissipates, and the five elements are reversed, resulting in the patient's seven orifices bleeding, liver and intestines are broken and killed. The death was extremely tragic.
This kind of poison, even if it is a pure yang body, cannot be carried down. Everyone in the small world is a practitioner of spiritual arts, and the first step is to cast scriptures. For them, the Mist Grass is also an essential spiritual object, but most people don't have to worry about not having the Mist Grass, as this basic elixir is the most common thing in the family.
In contrast, Li Xiaotian, an outsider, was not so lucky. Going further into the forest, it was a matter of time before he met Shengwu, Li Xiaotian didn't know how powerful this poison was, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones, and take one step at a time.
In the deciduous bamboo forest, the night is accompanied by the cold. Could it be that the closer you get to the fog grass, the colder it gets? After Li Xiaotian shivered a few times, he completely stuffed his chest with leaves. He groped his way forward, and in the cold, his swaying movements were like a raccoon. One stumbles and falls into a quagmire.
Due to the icing, the surface of the quagmire has become unusually solid, and Li Xiaotian's fall is no different from hitting a marble slab.
Although he had rough skin and thick flesh, he really couldn't stand the pain. Li Xiaotian held Lao Hei's back with one hand, gritted his teeth and sat up.
"Whoa!" Lao Hei called out forcefully, undoubtedly laughing at Li Xiaotian's clumsiness.
Is it tolerable or unbearable! Li Xiaotian was already depressed in his heart, and now he has to be reduced to being degraded to being unseen by animals.
Just as he was about to raise his fist and hit the old black head, a crispy numb sensation came from his right hand, and soon, the numb feeling turned into pain. The pain became more and more out of control, and Li Xiaotian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and howled low and painfully.
Seeing this, Qin Shuo hurriedly checked it carefully for Li Xiaotian. His lips were swollen, his limbs were weak, and his whole body was on fire. Looking at Li Xiaotian's hand again, it was obvious that there was a mark like a needle tip.
This bite mark is most likely caused by spiders or centipedes. After Qin Shuo had a rough idea in his heart, he began to look left and right, only to see a large cobweb coiled under the shadow of the tree not far away.
The spider web is a rare pentagonal structure, with many bean-sized shadows moving back and forth on it, and a large guy standing in the middle. Spiders have never been social creatures, and legend has it that only one species of spider in the world can do so.
According to the Book of Changes, a thousand stars, spiders, and highly poisonous things will die nine times out of ten. Its things are like ants, living in groups, and only the spider king can solve it......
