Chapter 34: There is no cave
The small river is not as choppy as the Wolf Howling Moon River, nor is it full of reefs and waves like the Wolf Howling Moon River. It flows gently, the channel is neat, and the surface of the water is smooth like a mirror. The breeze blows, leaving ripples on the surface of the water, which is very beautiful.
On both sides of the creek were green reeds more than a man deep. Each reed is in a thriving, vigorous growth form, they sway in the wind, showing their soft and charming dancing, showing all their style.
All the reeds come together, and it's a different kind of beauty.
The vigorous growth gives people a sense of vitality, with lush branches and leaves, gathering and growing, growing in clusters, and swaying in the wind. The wind blows, and all the reeds appear to move in unison, like a strictly trained soldier, and the movements are uniform and magnificent.
"What a beautiful scenery! It's a pity, who knows what unknown dangers are hidden in this beautiful place. Long Jiu saw the beautiful reeds, and his tone was full of sighs.
Now his strength is equivalent to the sevenfold refining body, and if he explodes, he can fight the eightfold refining body. However, in this case, the injury that has just improved may recur, and then the gain will outweigh the loss. So in the face of the beautiful reeds, Long Jiu didn't dare to be negligent, he never forgot that this was the Howling Moon Mountain Range, and what was not lacking here was all kinds of dangers.
His cautious personality allowed him to survive in the Whistling Moon Mountains despite his weakness and inexperience, and also allowed him to survive many times.
Following the sound, Long Jiu slowly walked upstream. With each step, he had to carefully and carefully dislodge the reeds that stood in his way. Make sure there is no mortal danger in the reeds before taking the next step.
As we walked, the reeds became denser and greener. The reeds did not become thicker though, taller and larger. But intuitively, Long Jiu could be sure that their flexibility was constantly improving.
The closer you get upstream, the louder the water becomes, and even the dense reeds can't stop the penetrating sound.
Without any weapons, Long Jiu could only rely on his own hands to clear the reeds blocking the way, so he walked very slowly, and he had to walk for nearly an hour for a distance of more than a thousand meters.
When he cleared the last reeds, his eyes lit up and suddenly brightened.
First, the sound of water suddenly became crisp and loud, and then it was like a fierce wind and waves hitting Long Jiu, and the deafening sound resounded through the sky. I saw a waterfall in front of me flying down more than 30 meters in the air, like a white satin hanging upside down in the sky, and like a rough man indulging in singing. The water struck a huge flat rock at the bottom, stirring up countless droplets of water to fly into the air like a goddess scattering flowers. The water droplets are as big as pearls, crystal clear and translucent, jumping and jumping, and the small ones are as fine as smoke and dust, which fill the air and become a mist of water. As soon as the breeze blew, a burst of cool air rushed to the face, and a refreshing coolness rose from the bottom of my heart.
"The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days. Hehe, although it is not as high as Li Bai said, it is also spectacular. ”
"But no matter how spectacular it is, it's just a waterfall in essence, and it doesn't help me at all. What a waste of expression!" Long Jiu's face was full of unhappiness, although the scenery in front of him was very beautiful, but Long Jiu didn't have time to appreciate it. Long Jiu needs time too much.
"Forget it, go back and recuperate for two days, and then leave here when the injury is better! I wanted to enter the Refining Body Ten Layer Cleansing Realm as soon as possible, but I didn't want it to backfire, not only did I not enter the Ten Layers of Refining Body, but I was also seriously injured, leaving behind a dark disease. Looking at the gorgeous waterfall, Long Jiu turned around and was about to leave.
Sudden mutations.
With a "flutter", a black shadow fell in front of Long Jiu. Due to the habit cultivated in the Howling Moon Mountain Range for a long time, the Dragon Nine One-style Python came out of the hole and smashed into the black shadow.
"Hmmm... Phew..."
After two terrible screams, the shadow was dead. Only then did Long Jiu see the appearance of the black shadow clearly.
The Black Shadow is a normal black crane, but it is different from other black cranes. It does not have the fitness and agility of ordinary black cranes, on the contrary, this black crane has a fat body, which weighs more than 100 catties.
"Haha... Ha ha... , good, very good!" After looking closely, Long Jiu suddenly laughed excitedly, this was the first time Long Jiu laughed so presumptuously and so happily.
What do you say?
It turned out that there was a strange smell of wine on this Hesi, if it was like this, at most it would make Long Jiu a little surprised. But what made Long Jiu laugh was that this ordinary black crane actually contained a wealth of qi and blood, and the amount of this qi and blood was no less than that of a brute beast with a ten-fold refining body, and even more so in terms of quality, this was simply a pure qi and blood body!
"Huh, how can the strength be so weak with such abundant qi and blood?" Long Jiu looked at the black crane that fell to the ground, and was even more puzzled. "What's more, it's just an ordinary black crane, how can it be so full of qi and blood?"
Long Jiu suddenly thought of the story of the child holding a gun.
"Isn't it that this beast has gained some kind of creation, and it has this huge body of qi and blood in a daze, but he doesn't know how to use it, and then he was killed by me in such a daze?" Long Jiu guessed a possibility.
"No matter, let's absorb these qi and blood first, otherwise it will be wasted. As he spoke, Long Jiu ripped off the hair on the black crane's neck, bit its neck and began to absorb qi and blood.
Compared to most martial artists, Long Jiu has a great advantage. Many warriors absorb the qi and blood of beasts by eating their flesh and blood, and in this way, a large part of them are not absorbed. However, Long Jiu only needed to establish a medium, and then he could absorb their qi and blood, and the utilization rate was even close to one hundred percent.
In the space of an hour, Long Jiu successfully absorbed the black crane's qi and blood completely. With enough qi and blood, coupled with the python Jiao transformation, Long Jiu's injuries have recovered a lot.
"Python out of the hole", "python in the mountains and forests", "python strangulation", "python turned over"
"Python Jiu nodded", after practicing the Python Tempering Body Fist that he hadn't practiced for a few days, Long Jiu felt that his whole body, from the inside out, was indescribably comfortable.
After calming down, Long Jiu began to think about the origin of this black crane again.
"At least I've been keeping an eye on everything around here, and it stands to reason that this black crane is here for no reason. What the hell is going on?"
Just as Long Jiu was thinking about it, a trace of coldness spread from Long Jiu's forehead. It turned out that a drop of bean-sized droplets of water fell on Long Jiu's forehead, and Long Jiu glanced at the waterfall and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Could it be..."
"Could it be that there is another heaven and earth behind this waterfall?" Long Jiu thought about it, the more reasonable it became, if there was a cave behind the waterfall, then everything could be explained very reasonably.
"In that case, I'll go and find out about him. ”
Do what you think, and act when you have an idea, this is Long Jiu's consistent style of acting.
Long Jiu squatted down, turned his body upright, and jumped straight into the waterfall. Passing through the water curtain, Long Jiu looked up, but his eyes were glowing.
"Sure enough, there is no other cave, haha, it's worth the trip, it's really worth it. Even if he is as calm as he is, he can't act like nothing has happened at this point.
I saw that there was no water or waves, and there were two large iron chains that were clear and clear. He stopped, froze, and looked closely, and it turned out to be a chain bridge made of two large iron chains. The water under the bridge rushed through the stone holes, hung upside down and flowed out, blocking the bridge door. The door of the chain bridge is only the height of Long Jiu's chest, and when he walked to the bridge gate, he saw that the two ends of the chain bridge were connected to a deep ditch more than 20 meters wide. Looking down, the entire ditch was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
The cave walls on both sides of the rope bridge are inlaid with many night pearls, illuminating the entire rope bridge as if it is in the open air.
"It doesn't look like it's natural, it's human. But what level of power is needed to have such a big deal? Such a means is simply incredible. But although there are traces of man-made here, it is too cold, I am afraid that no one has lived in it for a long time, but I don't know what is inside. Seeing what was inside, Long Jiu was really shocked.
Walking across the chain bridge, what appeared in front of Long Jiu was a stone gate, blocking the way down the bridge. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the stone door, and if it weren't for the basin-sized hole on it and the light that appeared on it, Long Jiu might not have known that it was a stone door.
Pushing open the stone door, Long Jiu entered a stone room.
"Bones, glowing bones?" Long Jiu was a little surprised.
There was only one human skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground in the stone chamber, and all but a few broken ribs were intact. The point is that this human bone is crystal clear, emitting a milky white glow like white jade. There was a thick layer of dust in the entire stone chamber, but this white bone was spotless.
"Judging from the thickness of this dust, I am afraid that this man has been dead for thousands of years! After thousands of years of death and immortality, this person must have been extremely powerful in his life, and his strength is even beyond my imagination. Long Jiu's eyes were full of excitement. Although she knew from Aunt Yun that after the death of some strong people, the bones of the corpses could be immortal for ten thousand years, but after all, she had never seen it with her own eyes, and now that she saw it with her own eyes, how could Long Jiu not be excited?
"Such a strong person deserves my dragon nine worship. Long Jiu said flatly, and then bent down and bowed.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew out of thin air in the silent stone room, and the dust in the room was blown into the sky. Immediately after that, a rustling sound came from the white bones, and the dust in the sky obscured Long Jiu's vision.
"Open", Long Jiu roared angrily, and a faint cyan light shot out from Long Jiu's eyes, and the cyan light passed through the flying dust and fell on the white bones.
I saw that although Bai Gu was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands covered on his knees, Bai Gu had already begun to rotate at this time, and his speed was getting faster and faster. By the end, Long Jiu couldn't see his speed clearly.
"The strong are worthy of the name of the strong, but you are dead, if you have any bad thoughts, don't blame me for being polite. Long Jiu respected him, but it didn't mean fear.
After about two minutes, the bones stopped. A futon appeared underneath the bones, along with a page of unknown material.
"What is it? inheritance?" Looking at the extra things, Long Jiu was really the second monk, and he was puzzled.
If you want to leave something for the people who are destined to find this place, then you can keep it! Could it be that the so-called masters have been kicked in the head by donkeys, and they like to get some thankless things? Anyway, Long Jiu thinks so.
