Chapter 31: The Beast of the Ancient Pool
From the first day he came to this world, he wanted to live an ordinary life, but a killing took away his original family, and the choice of the spirit to travel through the galaxy for many years did not give him his wish.
Grievances and hatred have nothing to do with him, he doesn't care how the murder came about, but the cold air and divine stones on his body always lead him to a thrilling road in the dark.
......
......
People still don't know how many coagulated grasses there are in the world, only that the growing environment of coagulated grasses can be said to be bad, but this kind of bad is picky and bad. Barren places need to have water sources, which contradict each other, so there are few suitable places for it to grow, and even if they know that there are, it is difficult for people to get them.
"Is it a medicinal herb that helps people condense their breath and allows cultivators to get twice the result with half the effort?" After Qiu Li heard the three words of condensation grass, some light appeared in his eyes.
Gu Yin replied, "Yes, the aura here is not suitable for the growth of flowers and plants, so it looks barren. However, if the terrain is a little higher, there is a water source, which is called Gutan on our side, which just meets the growth conditions of condensation grass. ”
"But, what do you want to do with this? Didn't the master say that there are no shortcuts in the world, and the path of cultivation must be taken out in a down-to-earth manner?" Xiao Beichen's face showed a puzzled expression, not aware of Gu Yin's intentions at all.
"You think I'm doing it for myself? Aren't you unable to run your breath because of your physique? You can't practice, it's too boring. If the condensation grass can condense the breath of people, you can condense your soul thoughts, and maybe you can build a foundation. Gu Yin is only a little taller than Xiao Beichen, but he talks very much like a big brother next door.
"But the breath of Gutan is repulsed from our breath, and it will be dangerous for us to go up. Look at here, you can't even live a single grass, let alone us? Dad said that he couldn't go up, so naturally he has a reason. Xiao Yan, who has always been good with Xiao Beichen, naturally wants to go up the mountain to pick grass, but thinking of those unknown dangers, this eight-year-old child is still very hesitant.
"It turns out that ......" Xiao Beichen couldn't hide his surprise and joy, "Everyone is for me......"
"Of course, if it weren't for you, I would have been afraid that others would hear about it in the academy just now. And condensation grass is not common, if you let others know, maybe you will rush to go......" Gu Yin said with a smile, and his hearty voice was like a birdsong in the woods. At this moment, his hands are on his waist, his eyes are round, and he looks very interesting.
But the Taoist chief said that this is fate, not a disease, and there is no way to solve it. Xiao Beichen thought for a moment, and when he thought of the words of the head of the Mao Mountain Road, he was a little overshadowed.
"How do you know if you can't do it without trying? Gu Yin continued.
"Yes, Beichen, don't be too discouraged. Although the breath of the ancient pond repels each other, it will not kill us. I'd like to see if the Celestial Grass is so magical. Chuli also said.
"Hey, you don't have to be crooked. This is for Beichen. Gu Yin quipped.
Chu Li looked at him and said, "Which eye of yours saw me move my heart?"
"Hey, it's all here, so let's look for it. I don't agree with my brother's approach, but maybe it really works. We want you to practice with us, too. Xiao Yan also said on the side.
"That's right......"
The three of you and I said a word, although there were some quarrels, they finally reached a consensus on Shanggutan.
"Thank you. Xiao Beichen looked at the friend in front of him and couldn't help but feel grateful. He always thought that he was lonely, but he didn't expect that it turned out that as Master said, there will always be some people who will silently pay for you in places that you can't see.
The four of them walked higher together, and the surrounding scene did not change much, but the breath became more and more turbid.
Walking to a higher ground, the four of them felt that their breath was too dry, so they stopped.
"Brother, don't you have a very smart nose, why have you been looking for so long?" Xiao Yan was sweating profusely and was fanning his fan.
"Strange...... I felt like I was here, but the higher I went, the more the aura loomed. Gu Yin walked around and said to himself.
Suddenly, a gust of wind hung around, and sand and dust came in the surrounding area. It was morning, but the clouds gathered, and the sky darkened.
This eerie atmosphere suddenly makes people vigilant.
Then, a strange voice appeared in the air, a low voice, which made people feel a little numb to listen to.
"Let me out......" a low groan, as if it were another world, and as if it was real. This gloomy and weak voice, ethereal, seemed to be nothing, and floated into Xiao Beichen's ears.
"It's talking!" Xiao Beichen couldn't help but exclaim, he was first startled, his heart trembled, and then he was suspicious. Is it the legendary beast that speaks? Could it be that it speaks?
"What did you hear?" asked Chuli curiously.
"Beichen, don't be scary, okay?" Xiao Yan said.
The barren place, the wild sand everywhere, makes people feel fearful. No matter how brave a child is, he is just a child, but when curiosity takes over fear, he will put his fear aside for the time being. Until the real danger arises, the fear can no longer be suppressed, and this is the case.
Xiao Beichen came back to his senses, looked at the puzzled looks of others, and realized that he should be the only one who heard the voice. He didn't speak, looking in the direction of the voice.
Qiu Li seemed to have noticed something, and walked forward in the direction Xiao Beichen was looking. Xiao Beichen looked a little panicked, and hurriedly shouted, "Senior brother, don't go over." There's really a monster there. ”
"It turns out that what my father said is true, the ancient demon beasts are really suppressed here. I've heard that this beast eats people and doesn't show bones, and if it weren't for God's blessing and enchantment, this mountain would have been destroyed by it...... Let's go, let's go, let's go. Xiao Yan was so nervous that his tongue knotted and pulled them back.
"Xiao Yan, don't panic. Xiao Beichen took her hand and comforted.
"Brother, it's all your fault!" Xiao Yanmian was like frost, and hurriedly hid behind Xiao Beichen, but found that Gu Yin was gone.
"Why is my brother missing?"
"What?"
After everyone saw Gu Yin suddenly disappear, they panicked even more. A gust of wind ruffled Xiao Yan's hair, causing her to crouch down and cry.
"It's okay, it's okay...... It's just the wind, so we quickly find Gu Yin and leave here. Although Xiao Beichen was scared, he had to comfort her quietly. The wind is surging, it is very weird, and the children are so frightened that they dare not breathe for you, and even feel a little like they are all soldiers.
When he was panicking to find someone, Gu Yin's voice suddenly appeared in the air, "I'm here! ”
The three of them looked into the distance, only to find that Gu Yin was waving to them not far away.
Everyone ran over there, only to see a fat herb appear in front of them, with a pure breath, which looked different and rare in this barren place.
"So this is the Grass of Condensation. Xiao Beichen couldn't help but touch it, feeling cute. Just as his hand touched the herb, he heard the deep voice again, "Who is it!
Before he could come back to his senses, in an instant, a huge whirlwind swept him up.
I don't know what the origin of the beast is, but I didn't see its shape, but I heard its voice first. It seemed to be far away, but it seemed to be under the bottom of the lake, and it was imposing, rolling Xiao Beichen into the lake.
The other three children, unaware of what had happened, were frightened by the sight.
Even Qiu Li, although he was calm and calm on weekdays, was also frightened a lot by this sudden whirlwind. He looked at the herb, and suddenly it dawned on him, and shouted, "Don't touch this grass!"
Gu Yin and Xiao Yan were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and after hearing Qiu Li's words, they took several steps back.
"Gu Yin, you hurry up and find the master. ”
"Oh, oh, oh......" Gu Yin was even more panicked and hurriedly ran back to the academy.
"Xiao Yan, you wait here, don't move, I'll save him. ”
"Be careful!" Xiao Yan cried out in tears.
Chu Li didn't say a word, and jumped into the lake that was neither deep nor shallow.
He was in the lake, looming, and he seemed to see a light.
He swam forward, in the direction of the light, and grabbed the hand that had fallen, only to see something even more astonishing.
The bottom of the pool is full of light, as if a sun is hidden.
Outside the ancient pool, the wind and clouds rose, but it quickly returned to calm.
"Is it his luck that he has regained calm in such a short period of time, rather than making a huge wave?" Xiao Yan, who was standing outside the pool, was also deeply shocked by this unpredictable change.
Even, she could see that the pool of water was radiant, just like the bright stars in the night sky.
What the hell happened? She watched Qiu Li pull Xiao Beichen ashore, although she was very happy, but how could she be rescued so easily if she fell into the clutches of the suppressed demon beast?
