Volume 13 Kenshin Chapter 6 The Crater
The land of Kyushu is only a part of the Kyushu realm, and it is the part that is located in the center of this world realm and is most suitable for human reproduction.
To the east, there is the vast sea, and to the east of the sea is an unimaginably large whirlpool, whose amazing suction power can even suck the light of the sky into it; To the south, there is the vast Daze, and at the end of the Daze, there is a vast sea of fire that will never be extinguished; To the west, there are continuous mountains, and the Lianyun Mountains at the end of the mountains have been towering above the Gangfeng layer, among which the Heavenly God Peak is known as the Optimus Pillar; To the north, there are rolling ice fields, and at the northernmost point is the Grand Canyon, which is said to lead to the Netherworld
No matter which direction it is, it is actually bigger than "Kyushu".
And the southwest where Wu Xie is going now is a big mountain one after another.
In fact, the saying that "the west of Kyushu is a mountain" refers to the southwest. The northwest of Kyushu is a desert, and there is another land population on the other side of the desert, which is a country of its own. When Wu Xie helped Xiao Buyi find the true legend of the cloth cloth gods, he once met two monks from the extreme western countries in the great desert.
The names of those two men were strange, one was called Momoda and the other was called Hehe. Whenever Wu Xie thought of them, he would be curious about the extreme west—could it be that in the country on the other side of the desert, people call this strange name?
"Speaking of which...... I've been either busy with cultivation or other things all these years, but it seems that I've been very busy all the time. After waiting for Ning Yuan, you might as well go to the country of the extreme west to have a look, and it is good to have a long experience. ”
He muttered to himself as he rode through the mountains in the light.
The reason why he didn't use the clouds and fog and used fire to escape was because the clouds and fog would expose his cultivation.
In the mountains outside of Kyushu, there are many powerful demon beasts. They are not stupid and do not easily clash with monks passing by. But if they pass by strong enough to threaten them, then even if they don't fight for majesty, they must come forward to ask the truth, so as not to miss any opportunity, or be plotted by someone without knowing it.
With Wu Jie's cultivation at the peak of Gang Lian, once he passes by openly, there will definitely be many powerful demon beasts jumping out to block the way along the way. Or "Our family is going to fight the strong...... or "What's the good thing?" How about counting me in?" Or "Human, you're strong enough to upset the balance here...... "In that case, you're annoying!" Therefore, he would rather hide his cultivation and advance as an initiation monk. There are still a lot of scattered cultivation in the realm of entering the Dao in this southwest mountain. Although their cultivation is not very high, they often have one or two hands to press the bottom of the box, which really forces them to come up with a trick, and ordinary refining demon beasts will suffer.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, those refining demon beasts would ignore these initiation and scattered cultivation, as long as they didn't cause trouble, they would be treated as if they didn't exist.
Wu Xie chose to use the most simple way of flying, which is the most simple way to fly, and naturally he also has a plan. The so-called puppet is innocent and guilty, and if he uses some special means, it is likely that there will be greedy guys to rob him. Huo Dun is a low-key enough road goods, but the speed can prove that he is very powerful from the side, it is low-key but not low, simple but not simple, the most suitable for avoiding trouble.
Along the way, it flew day and night, for several days. Finally, he saw the sky glowing reddish from a distance, and he felt a powerful flame surging not too far away.
Come to think of it, it's a volcano that has just erupted.
There are often volcanic eruptions in the southwest mountains, but what can make Qingyangguan care is naturally extraordinary. Hundreds of miles away, Wu Xie could feel the surging power of earth fire, and as he got closer, this feeling became clearer and clearer. When he finally reached the volcano that was still billowing with smoke, sparks rising and the sky red, he could already hear the power of the earth fire surging like a cheer.
Nodding, he lowered the light.
His retreat was only halfway down, but he suddenly stopped, looking at the volcano suspiciously.
I hadn't noticed it just now - this volcano was shrouded in a huge formation, which was quite ingenious, and the hidden changes in the middle couldn't be fully seen by him for a while
Wu Xie was not stunned, and it was impossible for him to rashly step into a large array that he had not yet finished. That's just like sending your neck to someone else's knife, it's just stupid!
And he can bet that there must be someone in this big array. Seeing his retreat stop in the air, it was impossible for the person presiding over the great array to be unresponsive.
Sure enough, he had only waited for half a cup of tea before the big array was activated. A tornado swept black smoke into the sky, restoring a clear view of the entire volcano.
On the mountainside of the volcano, there is a simple stone chamber, and at a glance, you can see that the road has just been built. Next to the stone chamber was an extremely complex array, which was obviously the core of the entire large array.
In the array, a green-clothed bald demon with a single horn was silently exercising his skills to control the formation, while outside the array, there were two other monks, staring at Wu Xie who was hanging in the air.
"Where do you come from?" A short monk dressed in gray and white clothes asked, "There is a talent in the lower volcano, this is the newly opened Beppu of our volcano, please don't trespass." ”
Wu Xie smiled slightly and replied: "I am Du Ruo, a scattered cultivator of the Yue Kingdom, and I heard that there is a cave hole leading to the depths of the earth here, and I want to find an opportunity. I wonder if Lu Dao can let me pass?"
"Humph! Everyone wants to find an opportunity, how can the opportunity be so easy to find!" A big man sitting on a stone bench next to him picked his feet shouted rudely, "With your little ability, you also want to find opportunities?" Believe it or not, the next one of the earth's fires will burn you to ashes!"
Wu Xie glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the cultivation of the three Daoists is only comparable to Du's." Since you can stay here for a long time, I can naturally go down to find an opportunity-Du Mou has no other skills, but he still has some experience in the spells of the flame series. ”
The big man who picked his feet suddenly laughed, and a fierce and mixed flame rose from his body, and seven or eight of them were the ingredients of earth fire: "Dare to say that you understand fire in front of the Sprinkle family?" What kind of thing are you!"
Wu Xie didn't get angry, didn't even pay attention to him, and just looked at the other person.
Obviously, one of these two is red-faced and the other is white-faced. Now that the white face has sung, it's time to open up with a red face.
Sure enough, the short man came forward in time, persuaded the big man to say "Old Wu", asked him to put away the flames, and then said to Wu Jie: "Fellow Daoist, although my senior brother is rough in words, he is not wrong. Anyone can go to this cave under the volcano. But the skills are not enough...... I'm afraid that there will be no return!"
"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, since the news of the fate of this place came out, there have been thirty or forty colleagues who have gone down to look for opportunities. But less than half of them can come out alive, and less than half of them can gain something. I don't think Daoist friends are very old, so why take a big risk for the sake of this possible opportunity!"
Wu Xie couldn't help laughing: "Bai Daoyou, Wu Daoyou, you two should not go around in circles." Although Du is not very old, he has also been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades. What are you going to do to let me go? But please quote!"
The big man Lao Wu and the short man Bai Youcai glanced at each other, but Lao Wu spoke first: "You borrowed the road of our earth volcano, you should always say something!"
This means that the toll will be collected, Wu Xie nodded, noncommittal.
"Don't get me wrong, we definitely don't want to block the road. It's just that we maintain this large array, so that the earth fire will not erupt violently, and protect this side of the creatures - even if there is no credit, there is still a bit of hard work. Bai Youcai said, "I think Daoyou is upright and reasonable. The right is to support us, just a little more interesting. ”
He said it very earnestly, and Wu Xie couldn't help laughing.
"And what do you want? The yellow and white things of the mortal world are of little use to us. ”
"Whether it's a magic weapon or a seal pill, you can do it!" Seeing that Wu Xie had the meaning of relieving his mouth, Lao Wu suddenly became interested and shouted, "There is nothing missing in the mountain!"
He said this very truthfully, but it seemed too shabby. Wu Xie was okay, Du Ruo and Jasmine in the Heavenly Book World Realm couldn't help but laugh, and even Du Xin, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's so miserable that the robbery is shabby like this!" Jasmine finished laughing and sighed, "Just like this, he still learns from others to rob, does he know how to write the word 'dead?'"
"There's no way, it's because you're poor that you want to rob." Du Ruo said with a smile, "But this person is really ...... It's so unsophisticated!"
Wu Xie nodded, and looked at Bai Youcai again. He had already seen that among the three Earth Volcano Gate people present, that demon cultivator was a taciturn character like a saw-mouthed gourd, and Lao Wu was purely a man-in-one, and the one who could really decide things was this inconspicuous Bai Youcai.
"To be honest, we really lack everything." Bai Youcai smiled, but he didn't mean to be eager, but he looked very calm, "But we don't ask for much, as long as the Taoist friends are willing to express their attitude." ”
He was probably worried that Wu Xie would not believe it, and added: "In fact, the bulk of our income lies in asking for dividends from those Taoist friends who have returned with a full load. Generally speaking, Taoist friends who can have a big harvest are in a better mood, as long as they are cheeky and say a few good words, they can always get some. ”
Wu Xie couldn't help but smile: "You guys are really real!"
"Of course, we are not taking the benefits of Daoyou for nothing." Bai Youcai smiled and took out a piece of jade slip, "Among this jade slips is the information we collected about the underground cave holes, what do you think of this exchange?"
Wu Xie naturally would not object, and took out a few pills that he had refined after his cultivation and exchanged this information.
With his ability, even if it is a pill that is refined casually, it is a rare and good product for a monk who has entered the Dao. The three of them didn't expect him to be so bold, Lao Wu was smiling from ear to ear, and even the demon cultivator who was sitting in the formation showed a look of surprise, but Bai Youcai was still calm, and he was very pampered and not surprised.
When Wu Xie was about to step into the volcano, he couldn't help but ask: "This information of yours is very valuable, since you have this, why don't you take it out at the beginning?" If you exchange it, there must be no one who doesn't want to pay for it. ”
"When people are good to me, I am good to others. For those who are unreasonable, we watch him burn to ashes in the ground. ”
Wu Xie nodded—if this surnamed Bai can continue on the path of cultivation, he will become a great weapon!
