Chapter 35 The Lonely Soul
Sitting cross-legged is the main practice method of Qiliu practitioners, and in some places cross-legged sitting is used as a symbol of practitioners. So this hand was telling him something? He Leqiang endured great trepidation, and stretched out his hand flatly.
A hand reached out in the darkness, this time not to paint, but to take his hand. At that moment, He Le felt peaceful, no malice, no gloom, very calm and calm. He Le no longer hesitated, and walked in with his hand.
Only walked a few steps, maybe a lot of steps, He Le was not sure, only knew that the light that came to his face was particularly soft, and it was not dazzling because of the sudden appearance. In the complete light, he saw a huge figure, but unfortunately he couldn't see the face clearly. The figure walked over and pointed a finger as big as a fist at He Le's forehead, and after a moment the finger was withdrawn.
"Don't worry, you'll come back someday. The voice rang like a bell, but it was not harsh.
He Le wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything, as if he was dumb.
The light quickly disappeared, He Le fell into darkness again, and when he could see it, Sun Tianyi and Zhang Zhichun were looking at him strangely, and Du Kui was standing behind without noticing.
He Le shook his head and didn't say anything. It's just that I feel a little strange on my forehead, so I don't feel anything else.
After half a pillar of incense, the merchant came out of the darkness, holding an item in his hand. He Le greeted him, ready to take his items, but Shang Gongzi shook his head and led the way outside. He Le didn't know why, he felt that Shang Gongzi's expression seemed to be a little lost.
After the four of them walked out of Guizi Ridge, Shang Gongzi handed over the items in his hand to He Le. At this time, He Le saw clearly what it was, a black Ruyi, and I didn't know whether it was naturally grown or artificially made. Didn't he secretly think that he was here to take the Blood Devouring Golden Lotus?
"Find a box and put it in it, it will be of great use in the future. Shang Gongzi stopped talking after admonishing him, and it could be seen that he was very tired, but it was more likely that he was tired in his heart.
He Le Yiyan took out a wooden box from his small bag, wrapped Hei Ruyi in cloth and put it in. No one recognized what it was, and no one discussed it.
The natives once again led them quickly out of the realm of Ghost Ridge and headed towards the more mysterious Tu Mountain.
He Le dragged on to the end this time, and he would look back from time to time. What was that huge figure, man? He had never heard of someone that tall. Except that it could be a god, an immortal, his father never told him, and his mother sometimes told him some legends, but the descriptions of gods and immortals were very general, and basically did not involve height and appearance. Later, Duan Yifeng didn't say this, they have their own beliefs, and they think that people can grow into gods and immortals by their own efforts. In this way, gods or immortals should not be much different from ordinary people, and naturally it is impossible for such a huge person to appear.
The more he couldn't figure it out, the easier it was to keep thinking about it, and He Le began to be depressed. The man said that he would come again, why did he come, and did he come again to take the Blood-Devouring Golden Lotus? He didn't know what the Blood-Devouring Golden Lotus would look like and what effect it would have. As for the black Ruyi, it is even more strange, and it really can't see the effect.
Maybe it was because she was walking too slowly, and the girl who was originally dragging behind in front of her had only a little back left, He Le only felt it at this time, and then turned around and saw a small black shadow following behind. At this time, He Le was no longer afraid, and followed the example of the merchant and saluted the black shadow.
The black shadow was always hidden in the shade of the tree, and only after seeing He Le saluting did it quickly flicker in the shade and come to him. The outstretched hand was small, but it was also black, black as ink. The little hand was placed in He Le's palm, and when he took it away, He Le's palm had a small young leaf, which was very small, but it was a real young leaf. It's not a treasure, it's just a young leaf that can be seen everywhere. He Le looked at it carefully, confirmed that it was really a leaf, and then smiled slightly. He picked it up with great care, and took a picture of it to the sky, and he could see the veins in the leaves. He touched it from his arms, but he could only take out an elixir and send it to the black shadow.
The black shadow seemed to hesitate, but finally reached out to take the elixir, and quickly disappeared into the shade of the tree.
He Le laughed, he liked this feeling, especially like it. Because there is a kind of commonality between him and 'him', they are all the same loneliness......
He put the tender leaf on his lips and carefully pursed his lips to catch up.
It's just that he didn't know that when he was communicating with the little black shadow, the bright figure wearing a hat on his head in the distance had stopped and watched this scene in his eyes.
The large army was slowly moving forward, and the Shang Gongzi had already cheered up and marched on the road.
He Le took the young leaf into his mouth, and who knew that the young leaf melted in his mouth, sweet and sweet. It should be a very special plant, although it does not have a miraculous effect, but it is particularly thirsty and moistens the throat.
After walking for another half hour, Du Kui picked up Shang Gongzi on his back and quickened the pace of progress. Before nightfall, they had already left the Ghost Ridge more than forty miles away, and it was only then that the haze that had suppressed on everyone completely dissipated.
He Le habitually chose a peripheral location to practice alone, and he couldn't read books in the wild, so he mainly meditated. Qi Liu didn't dare to absorb it for the time being, but it could be practiced through meditation, and he could stay in that Li Yuan for three years anyway. It's strange that I ran all the way today, but my body didn't feel too tired, and I wasn't sure if it was related to the young leaves. Thinking of that little figure, He Le wasn't sure if it was a ghost boy or something else.
There was a faint sound, and it turned out to be a small poisonous snake crawling over, and then stopped in front of him and stood up, spitting out letters. He Le looked at it, and there was no longer the fear he had when he first entered the Southern Wilderness. It should be a very venomous snake, although it is small, but it has an incomparably gorgeous skin scale. With red eyes and gold and orange patterns, it is obvious that his status in this southern wilderness rainforest is not low.
The little snake continued to crawl forward, and only stopped at a distance of one centimeter in front of He Le, and after making a demonstrative-like offensive action, he actually spit out his tongue and rubbed it on He Le's hand. He Le felt the itch, but didn't move, letting it rub. The little snake stopped and looked at him again, then crawled away on its own.
"That's the Blood-Devouring Golden Lotus!" the native came over at some point, and said in a very low voice, and it was in official language, although it was not standard.
He Le's heart beat wildly, and he calmed down again, and put his index finger on his lips to make a shushing motion.
The native looked at him with mixed intentions, and bowed back.
It turned out that the blood-devouring golden lotus was the name of a poisonous snake, and it was enough to pit! He Le had the urge to vomit blood, but the closeness that the blood-devouring golden lotus showed to him made him unbearable to catch it. If it was something else, he would definitely catch it and give it to the merchant son, He Le thought for sure.
It's just that he didn't know the meaning of the Blood-Eating Golden Lotus, and he didn't know how surprised the natives were when they saw the Blood-Eating Golden Lotus showing their closeness to him. In fact, what Shang Gongzi needed was not a blood-devouring golden lotus, but the legend that the blood-devouring golden lotus was carrying. Many things in the world are hard to believe, and they are intertwined in a certain staggered time and space.
Without He Le to open the way, the entire Southern Wilderness World is also very quiet and peaceful, and the strange beasts are either hiding in their nests and living a happy life, or gnawing on fatty food. And the expedition force is getting closer and closer to the mysterious Tu Mountain, the land of divine punishment that has been circulated among the natives and the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is rumored that after the end of the ancient flood war, the heavens killed too many gods on Tu Mountain, and Tu Mountain was sealed as a forbidden place, and mortals were not allowed to go there. Only the upper echelons of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that Tu Mountain was truly secret.
On the third day, it was not far from Tu Mountain, and Shang Gongzi found He Le.
"I'm going to get to my destination soon, you get ready, only you can accompany me. ”
He Le was very strange, after calling so many people, why was he the only one who could accompany him, and who should replace him if he didn't.
"It's strange to go to a strange place, except for the recognized bloodline, only children who can't practice can go up. I wasn't going to take you up before, but I heard Zhang Zhichun say that you no longer have Qiliu, and you just meet the conditions. "Shang Gongzi has regained his self-confidence, and even released two skylarks in the past few days.
He Le hung his head, not knowing why Uncle Zhang wanted to tell the prince about his situation, but it seemed that the prince didn't care too much about whether he had Qi Liu or not, which still made He Le very grateful.
By the afternoon of the next day, the native stopped and pointed to a mountain that was not too high in front of him and said, "Here it is, that's it, I can't go any further." I'll be here for you for five days, and if you don't come I'll leave. ”
Shang Gongzi nodded, took out the last dried Luo fish and gave him the horn of a cunning lizard.
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and after separating from the natives, everyone walked for another day to reach the foot of the mountain. Only then did they realize that this mountain was different, the other mountains were all green and forested, and this mountain could only be seen to be shrouded in fog until it was closer.
As soon as Sun Tianyi arrived at the foot of the mountain, he felt something strange, not that the Qi flow was suppressed, but that the Qi flow was completely chaotic. The Qi current in the sea of consciousness is rushing out uncontrollably, and the Qi current in the body is escaping through the skin.
This is still Sun Tianyi, and the situation of other people who practice Qi flow is even more serious, and almost a few breaths can spit out the Qi flow absorbed by a day's practice.
"The disciples of the Yuntan Sect retreat quickly!" Zhang Zhichun was the first to warn, and He Le almost retreated, only to realize that he was no longer a member of the Yuntan Sect when he saw that Shang Gongzi was still standing there and did not move.
It is about necessary to withdraw fifty meters away, so that there will be no situation where Qi Liu escapes, and Shang Gongzi stood on the ground expressionlessly. This is like a verification, affirming that this is Tu Mountain, a forbidden place for cultivators in the world.
"Let's go. After Shang Gongzi finished speaking lightly, he took the lead in stepping on the mountain path of Tu Mountain.
He Le followed carefully, he had no idea about Tu Shan. But he was a little shocked why those people were afraid of being like that, and why he didn't feel it at all. His sea of consciousness was still calm, and the points of light maintained a mysterious soft light.
Tushan is not difficult to climb, because there are artificially built stairs, which are very easy to walk. Shang Gongzi climbed the stairs and walked very calmly. He Le followed behind him, noticing the situation around him from time to time. The whole Tu Mountain is very quiet, as quiet as entering a rockery.
After walking hundreds of steps in one breath, Shang Gongzi stopped and began to gasp. He Le also wanted to carry him, but he was not as tall as Shang Gongzi, and it was very uncomfortable to barely carry it.
There were hundreds of steps up, probably halfway up the mountain, and Shang Gongzi was a little struggling.
"Why don't I carry it?" He Le asked after hesitation.
