Chapter 509: Non-stop
Returning to the edge of the primeval rainforest of the Guzhou Plain through the teleportation array, it was already Shen Shi, and the sun was slanting westward, Xiao Cong noticed that there seemed to be the concept of seasons on the Guzhou Plain, it was not like the Yang Desert where the sun rose early and set late as always, calculating the time, when they came to the Guzhou Plain, it was the beginning of spring, and they had experienced many things, and they had stayed here for more than half a year now, that is to say, if it was calculated according to the uniform alternation of seasons, it was early winter.
In early winter, the sun naturally sets earlier than usual.
Everyone who was anxiously waiting outside the isolation zone was overjoyed to see Xiao Cong and the three of them return safely, and Hongxiang shouted excitedly:
"Brother, have you picked the unscented stamen?"
Xiao Cong smiled, nodded, and said proudly:
"Listening to what you asked, your brother and I are out of the horse, can there be anything that can't be done?"
Ouyang Xun was also full of relief, and walked a few steps forward to Xiao Cong's side,
"It's been a good journey. β
"No danger, no danger, it went well. Xiao Cong replied with a big grin, his bared teeth made his appearance look faintly contrived, this is not like his usual style of pampering and not being surprised, Ouyang Xun looked at these big white teeth, and instantly understood in his heart, the two looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and then said no more.
Xingliuyun handed the space dagger to Ouyang Xun and said in disgust:
"Give it back, give it back to you. β
Ouyang Xun stretched out his hand and pushed it back to Xingliuyun, and said nonchalantly:
"I said that I gave it to you is for you, am I, Ouyang Xun, the kind of person who goes back on my word?"
Xingliuyun sneered, although he was contemptuous, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, so an extraordinarily distorted expression appeared on his face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, intriguing,
"Is it real this time?"
Ouyang Xun rolled his eyes, turned his head and said:
"Take it. β
Xingliuyun, a master who doesn't take anything for nothing, is of course respectful at this time, and it is better to obey his fate.
......
A group of people set off again, and continued to walk along the edge of the red isolation belt, this red isolation belt is conspicuous and eye-catching, it is obviously the boundary marker in the heart of the ancient Zhou Plain, walking along it is the most labor-saving, and it is not wrong, in order to avoid going around in circles and walking through the best place, Xiao Cong also took out a side of Sinan, this side Sinan is a little different from other Sinan, although the extroversion is almost the same, it is a plate with a spoon, but this side of Sinan does not have the usual Sinan's pointing in all directions, let alone those illusory books of the stars The number of long and short bars, it has only yin and yang, and what can be guided is only yin and yang, But this is the preciousness of this Fang Sinan, ordinary Sinan pointing is often disturbed by various factors in a certain region, resulting in inconsistent pointing and even errors, but Xiao Cong's hand of this Fang Sinan is not afraid of these problems at all, because it is based on the most basic Dao, the existence of Dao, can be regarded as the only one in the world, unless it is in a special area such as a forbidden land, it will never be easily changed, the usual Sinan relies on the magnetic field, or relies on the qi of heaven and earth, in the hands of Xiao Cong, this side relies on the Tao to identify the direction of the treasure in front of the treasure, you have to bow downγ
This Fang Sinan is called "Zidao Needle", and it is also a masterpiece from Zhong Liqiu's hand.
"Self-Dao Needle" is the unified name of this kind of mystical weapon, in the eyes of the master of the mystery, it is not a rare object, because this thing is simple to refine, and the only thing that can be linked to the quality is the refiner's understanding of the Tao, so the quality span is very large.
The "self-dao needle" in Xiao Cong's hand is Zhong Liqiu's work when he was not famous in his early years, at that time he was still traveling in Xuanzhen, and he naturally needed such a necessary thing in his hand, although refining such a work was completely unexpected for him back then, but I have to say that Zhong Liqiu's understanding of the Tao at that time was not enough, so this "self-dao needle" can only indicate the correct direction in a limited area, but unfortunately later with the increase of fame, Zhong Liqiu opened the mountain to sit on the ground to accept apprentices, and he can and completely do it without leaving home, this "self-dao needle" has not been refined again, it is really a major defect in the life of the master of Xuanqi, because it is said that the top refiner of the ancestor of the Dugu family, the "self-Dao needle" refined can be used with confidence in the entire Xuanzhen world, and I don't know if Zhong Liqiu, who is also known as a generation of master of Xuanqi, has reached such a realm.
Within a thousand feet from the isolation zone, no living creature dares to inhabit at will, so Xiao Cong and their journey is quite smooth, according to the guidance of the "Zidao Needle", Xiao Cong and his party have walked for nearly two days and have not walked to the best place above the arc to get out of the existing trajectory, which not only makes Xiao Cong wonder a little in his heart, is the heart of the Guzhou Plain too big? Or is there something wrong with the "Zidao Needle" in his hand? It seems that it is neither, but after all, the cultivators whose worst cultivation is in the middle of the Heavenly Realm are moving at full speed, not to mention that those few Heavenly Realm monks are all being carried by the powerhouses of the Star Picking Realm, and they have always maintained the highest speed of the Star Picking Realm, but if you say the "Self-Dao Needle" in your hand No problem, then the heart of this Guzhou Plain is really too big, after they entered there two days ago, they walked in less than an hour, in terms of the entire heartland, it is nothing at all, but in such a marginal place, there is a tree fairy who almost fell asleep, if they go further inside, what terrible existence will there be?
Rub, I think it's crooked, the crux of the current problem is not here at all!
Xiao Cong thought as he moved forward, and the moment the aura flashed in the sea of consciousness, he suddenly thought of a serious problem that had been ignored all alongβwho said that the outline of the heart zone must be round!
God, this is terrible, why didn't they think about it sooner? If the outline of the heartland is not regular, then how many detours they have to take.
But Xiao Cong never stopped, he looked up at the endless crimson isolation belt, and simply felt horizontal,
"Forget it, let's drop it like this, no matter what, as long as you go west, it will definitely be right!"
He looked up at the position of the sun again, calculated the time in his heart, judged due west, and finally put away the "self-path needle" and led everyone straight to the west.
When everyone saw this, they thought that they had arrived at the best place, but what was going on, I'm afraid only Xiao Cong himself knew.
Two days later......
In the blink of an eye, it was sunset again, and after two days of running, the group had already run out of the safe area close to the isolation zone, and at this time it was just in the place where the giants and powerful clans began to entrench, so it was the turn of the children of the winning clan to perform.
Ying Pei looked at the terrain, thought for a moment, and said:
"There are no strong clans in this vicinity that are friendly with the Win Clan, so we still have to find a common area between the clans like before, but as far as I know, there is only a strong clan entrenched in this vicinity, so I suggest that we hurry up and hurry up for a while, and it is better to stay away from this land of right and wrong. β
The Nebula said in amazement as if it had suddenly remembered something:
"White Shajra? I remember who said once that they were of the same race?"
Ying Pei Waner smiled and patiently explained:
"The two of them are really not the same race, although they are both apes, but one is a black-haired gibbon, the other is a white-haired long-eared ape, the black King Kong has lived in the east of the center of the Ancient Zhou Plain for a long time, and the White King Kong has lived in the west of the center of the Ancient Zhou Plain for a long time, and the two families generally can't get together, once they get together, they will definitely have to fight. β
Xingliuyun raised his sword eyebrows lightly when he heard this,
"Why?"
Ying Pei shook his head,
"The reason for this, I really don't know why, probably because of the racial feud. β
"Is it the White Devil or the Black Devil?"
"It's not the same, but the Black Evil King Kong can't find their gathering place on the current Guzhou Plain, although there are still a few surviving masters, but they are generally not seen, probably lurking in some hidden corner of the rainforest, concentrating on cultivation and reproduction, looking forward to the revival of the race one day." β
Xingliuyun sighed in a low voice:
"It's so easy to be taken away by others, it seems that the black Vajra is not very powerful, so from this point of view, the white Vajra in front is also in vain. β
Ouyang Xun suddenly smiled in his nose and teased mercilessly:
"I said Xingliuyun, you can't talk more than your brain, and I don't know how to think about it, what is it that is serving that black King Kong's nest!"
When Xingliuyun heard this, he was about to sprinkle, but his expression suddenly became serious, his eyes widened, and he whispered:
"You're saying it's the army of necromancy that took their nest?"
Ying Pei smiled and said in a slightly mocking tone:
"Exactly, the Black Demon King Kong is indeed too unlucky in this matter, the place where the Necromantic Army woke up is an ordinary forest in their race territory, this Necromantic Army is not all awakened at once, it stands to reason that the Black Demon King Kong should have been given some time to react to make some preparations, but unfortunately, because the territory is too big, and the heart is relatively large, the entire tribe did not even have a Black Demon King Kong to notice this, and when the Necromantic Army was fully formed, he killed them by surprise, and the strength was not comparable to the Necromantic Army, but it appeared inside the territory again, so there was no power to parry at all, and the dead fled to escape, The only good thing is that the movement is big enough, giving the entire Guzhou Plain a stern warning, that is, because the encounter of the Black Evil King Kong is too tragic, so these strong clans around the edge of the center reached a unified agreement at the first time to fight against the necromantic army, at first it was indeed panicked, but later found that this group of necromantic army basically had no movement, so they relaxed, and then later, the so-called agreement was in vain, in the case of no chaos, the strong clans were still the same as before, that is, what you see nowγ β
Xiao Cong and the others nodded one after another, although they had heard of this matter and experienced it personally, but it was not until today that they figured out the ins and outs of it, Hongxiang quietly approached Xiao Cong, clinging to Xiao Cong's body and whispered:
"Brother, I think there may be something wrong with the original territory of the Black Vajra. β
Xiao Cong smiled and said nothing, in fact, the two of them thought of going together, and Hong Xiang also understood in an instant - no matter whether there was a problem with the original territory of the Black Demon King Kong, as far as they were concerned, they were already helpless, they rushed to the right time, place and people, and it took a lot of strength to pass through the center of the Ancient Zhou Plain, why, in order to explore the secret of the necromantic army, and then turn back? How could his brother Xiao Cong do such a thankless thing, but then again, what is the secret of the necromantic army, what is their business?
So he rushed west at full speed for two quarters of an hour, and settled in a place where Ying Pei thought it was safer, Xiao Cong set up a hidden shadow and hid the rest array, the children of the Ying clan picked up firewood and Ouyang Xun raised a bonfire in the array, Hongxiang put the dried meat on the bonfire, Yin Nuo picked some red coals and put them into the stone fear, not long after, the smell of meat and tea were mixed together, and the people who had not been drunk for a long time still did not drink tonight, sipping tea and eating a few pieces of dried meat, such a calm dinner seemed to have a little intriguing happiness, the taste of the world was Qinghuan, the heart was calm, everything seemed to become beautiful, and after eating, chatting a few inconsequential idle days, and then busy with some of your own things to pass the time, and finally go to bed- For example, Xingliuyun, two days ago in the field in the center of the Guzhou Plain, after getting Xiao Cong's consent, this guy stroked several handfuls of unknown long-leaved grass, Xiao Cong paid attention to this, and couldn't help but glance at Xingliuyun at that time, and saw that Xingliuyun was not picking grass, but some red bracts hidden in their slender leaves, these bud beads were strung one by one, connected by green thin stems and wrapped by green thin skin, some of the thin skins have been opened, so you can see the color of the bracts inside, Xingliuyun took them down and put them in his pocket, and now he has taken them out again, it seems that he is ready to deal with them simplyHe peeled off the thin green skin, threw away the thin stems, and picked out the most round and lovely twenty of the red buds in a large handful of red buds, and looked at them and smirked.
Xiao Cong couldn't help but have more guesses about this, seeing that the buds were all the size of peas, and they were just a string of bracelets when they were connected, he felt that this was when Xingliuyun saw them, he remembered Leng Xiaofeng for a while, and wanted to use them to make a bracelet for his intended person...... Oh no, it's his fiancΓ©e, so he pretended to be smart, and in the spirit of helping Xingliuyun make this gift and strive for perfection, the ghost took out a needle that was only one hundredth of a hair's thickness from Jiang Caijun's mustard - the material of this needle is unknown, and the specific purpose Xiao Cong doesn't know, anyway, what can be collected by Jiang Caijun is definitely not an ordinary thing, aside from the others, its hardness must be enough for Xingliuyun.
He handed the needle to Xingliuyun, who was a little stunned at first, then laughed sheepishly, carefully took the needle from Xiao Cong's hand, and then worked there until the second half of the night.
Xiao Cong failed to accompany Xingliuyun to fight to the end, but before he fell asleep, he gave Xingliuyun another thing - a "rope" used to string the bud beads - a whisker that I don't know where to plant grass, soft enough, tough and elastic enough, Xingliuyun was very satisfied with this, he could think that if he used this rope to wear these twenty or so bud beads, and put them on his hand like the bud beads themselves on his wrist, it must look very good, Leng Xiaofeng saw it, and he wished he liked it!
Xiao Cong, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but laugh and thought to himself;
"Hey, it's really good to have such an orderly life. β
The next morning, everyone woke up on time, first flew to the tree to finish the morning class, and then before breakfast, they first served the spirit vein baby - feeding, urinating, changing diapers...... Except for the extraction of the mother lotus juice by Xiao Cong himself, the rest of the work is handled by the ghost girl, at this time Ouyang Xun wanted to help, but he had no way to start, so he could only stand next to him, waiting for the ghost girl to change the diaper and dispose of it properly, and Xingliuyun, who had always been too lazy to even bother in the kitchen, was naturally expected to stay away, whenever this time, he seemed distressed, as for the reason, he also said-
"Alas, my sister's life is really bitter, this is still the yellow flower girl, she actually fed the child in advance, if this is spread in the future, alas, I am afraid that my sister will lose this half of the world's fame." β
When he heard this, Xiao Cong felt quite uncomfortable, after all, this matter was assigned to the ghost girl, but then he heard the ghost girl say coldly,
"It's a bit heavy, you may not know, when you were young, I also took care of you. β
In a word, Xingliuyun, who has always been faceless and skinless, was red-eared and self-ashamed, and since then, he has never let go of any gossip in this matter, only his face is full of sorrow and regret.
It's a pity that for this, except for himself, others have always turned a blind eye, on the contrary, it is obvious to all that the ghost girl is more and more fond of the baby of the spirit vein and more and more attentive, and she will hold the child in her arms and tease it when she has time, the child is very well-behaved and easy to get along with, every time she giggles, and she is happy to dance, at this time it is naturally the time when Ouyang Xun is close to the ghost girl, Xiao Cong doesn't know where this guy got so many strange things, and what is even more surprising is that this loser actually gave these treasure-level mysterious weapons to the baby of the spirit vein as a toy, and it really responded to the old saying of Aiwu and Wu, and he did not hesitate to spend money in order to pick up girls, but seriously, Xiao Cong admires this very much.
Slowly, whenever the ghost girl teased the child, Hongxiang would also come forward, hook the child's fingers, scratch the child's feet, and make a few funny grimaces...... At this time, he turned back into the childlike child, but it made Xiao Cong's heart sour, if fate is fair enough, Hongxiang will also have a good childhood like other lucky children, and always be an innocent and lovely child, you don't have to follow him into today's ...... Hey, how to say it, he really can't find the words he thinks are suitable to describe the current Hongxiang, say that he is insidious and cunning, he is still loyal to himself, say that he keeps to himself, he always has so many crooked intestines, strong is a disguise, fragility is hidden in a soft place in the depths of his heart, his immortals, are forced by this absurd world!
After serving the baby of the spirit vein, everyone simply ate something, and then continued to hurry, listening to Ying Pei said, they will pass through the territory of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird in front, they are friends of the Win Clan, if it goes well today, step up a few steps to arrive before dark, and then they can rest assured that they can stay there for one night, and tomorrow they can also ask the master of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird Clan to give them a ride, so that they can save more time.
Hongxiang listened to people's speeches and grasped the key points from a perspective that was never the same as people, even if he was caught under Xiao Cong's armpit, he was not willing to be Ansheng, and at this time he raised his head vigorously and asked:
"How far is this journey?"
Yingpei replied with a smile:
"We can be sent directly to a safe place, and at that point, with the combined strength of our people, we will be able to travel unhindered for the rest of the journey. β
But Yingpei's smile was slightly bitter, and he always felt that this guy had something to say, Xiao Cong asked with a straight face:
"Why, there's something else, but it doesn't hurt to say it. β
Ying Pei smiled and said seriously:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, when the powerhouse of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird sends you to a safe enough place, it will be time for me to say goodbye to you, the part of the Guzhou Plain bordering the Great Wilderness is the forbidden land in our ancestral training, I don't know if Lord Jiayin can go in, but I can't set foot on it, I hope you can understand." β
As he spoke, he bowed to Xiao Cong as he ran.
Xiao Cong smiled kindly,
"What are these words, thanks to you all this way, I can get here so smoothly, it should be me who thank you, if you really want to understand, it should also be me asking you to forgive me for some inappropriate things along the way, besides, how can there be a banquet in this world that will not be dissolved, you have your principles, these, I should respect. β
After a long silence, Xiao Cong's silent atmosphere was slightly embarrassed, so he said:
"It's been a long time since you've tasted my craft. β
Yingpei expressed great surprise at this question,
"Craftsmanship...... The craftsmanship of cooking is still ......"
"Yes, it's the art of cooking. β
Ying Pei didn't understand what Xiao Cong meant, too, in their kind of class consciousness, how could the high and lofty go to cook with inferiority and self-deprecation, let alone for their group of lower spirits,
"Then you just say that you don't have cooking skills, this ...... I really haven't tasted it. β
"That's just right," Xiao Cong said with a big grin: "Tonight, we will take advantage of the treasure land of the Purple Wing Cloud Bird, and I will personally cook for the four of you, and I will make sure that you will eat and drink well and remember tonight!"
With such a violent stimulation, Yingpei couldn't accept it for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, Your Excellency, this can't be done, how can I make you ......"
Xiao Cong couldn't help but wave his hand when he broke up, and swore like a friend of wine and meat:
"Don't talk, this matter is settled, am I Xiao Cong the kind of person who doesn't repay his kindness? β
Ying Pei couldn't push it, so he had to smile and bow:
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and thank Fourth Young Master Xiao in advance. β
Xiao Cong snorted arrogantly, raised his face and said:
"You're welcome. β
