Chapter 230: The Stone Statue Is Destined The Second Daughter Is Missing
For the more than 180 disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect in the foundation building period and the condensation period, they didn't have anything to say, they all planted life talismans and handed them over to Qiu Shangbiao to cultivate and manage. The twenty-one elders who cultivated in the Jindan period were detained in the temple space and disintegrated one by one, and the sixteen elders quickly succumbed, were planted with life and death talismans, and handed over to Qiu Shangbiao.
The remaining five stubborn elders, let them continue to stay in the mustard space to reflect, there will always be a day when they will succumb, and the three great elders who have become infancy cultivators are the same, slowly attacking their hearts, and they will be used by him in the future. The current thunderstorm, only the people who cultivated in the Jindan period, there are more than 400 people, not to mention, thousands of disciples in the condensation stage and thousands of disciples in the foundation building stage.
If he is released to fight, the terrifying strength, the entire cultivation realm, there may not be many individual sects that can compete with him, plus he asked Qiu Shangbiao to select and cultivate the 100,000 young generation from the Guangming City, from the population of tens of millions, in time, when they grow up, just ask the cultivation sect in the world, how many can fight against him?
Stone Buddha City, surrounded by barren wasteland and the edge of the desert, has gradually developed into a new city due to the mining of a large amount of iron ore contained in the ground. At this time, the population of more than 5 million people came from all over the Kunhong Continent to come and be forced to mine, sell coolies, beg for a living, or to invest and do business for development and getting rich. The truly native-born ethnic group has become a minority among the more than 5 million people.
The Stone Buddha City is named after the three stone statues on the mountain in the south of the city, and no one knows why these huge stone Buddha statues built by the mountain, by whom, and when! According to the local Tu people, they know from the oral tradition of their ancestors from generation to generation that these three stone statues have existed here since ancient times, and they have a history of several hundred or thousands of years, not to mention several hundred or thousands of years.
Stone Buddha City, named after the stone statue, the stone statue has also witnessed the city, from a small barren village with dozens of people, gradually developed to today, a medium-sized city with a population of more than five million, witnessing the Stone Buddha City, from barren to prosperous!
The thunderstorm came out of the teleportation array, making Ding Biyao, Ao Yue, and Yu Kexin get blood thunder beads, paid the entrance fee for the four of them, and came to the bustling streets of the city.
Now Yu Kexin is happy. A few days ago, I was in the Blood Thunder Bead at night, meditating and cultivating, relying on being with Ding Baguio. The room that Xiaoshi arranged for her, she didn't want to live, the two girls, both of them are generous by nature, cheerful personalities, and have endless private words all day long, together like sisters, they are very fateful.
Shifo City, rich in iron ore, can be reflected from the buildings, ground, and air on the street, the whole city, everywhere is rust-colored dust, the air is full of mineral dust, even the flowing stream ditch, is also a faint brown-red. The carriages and horses that came and went, and the goods they loaded, were all iron ore.
I found a decent inn in Shizhong District, settled down, and at noon, in a well-known restaurant, after tasting the sumptuous dishes rich in local characteristics, the four of them came to the south of the city to visit the famous huge stone statue.
Out of the south of the city, in the distance is the continuous, majestic mountains, iron ore mining, in the mining area of these mountains. The excavation army of more than 100,000 people, formed by the mining and transportation of adults, also built countless houses on the shallow hills on both sides of the only road connecting the city and the mining area, for these toiling miners to live in and become temporary homes.
Horse-drawn wagons carry the mined ore back and forth on this road to the entire continent. With these traffic out of the city, the four of them walked all the way to the distant mountains during the thunderstorm.
It didn't take long to see three huge stone statues standing in the mountains in the distance in front of me, the one in the middle was the highest, about fifty or sixty zhang, and two on the left and right, and there were also thirty or forty zhang, standing against the mountain.
The three Buddha statues, it seems to be a certain power, in a breath, left and right cut outlined, simple lines, but like a ghostly axe, so that the stone statue form is realistic, magnificent.
At this time, just after noon, the crowd of people who came to visit and worship was also very numerous, and there were people with secular surnames and cultivators.
Coming to the empty and huge square at the foot of the stone statue, facing the stone statue dozens of feet tall, those worshipping crowds, kneeling down devoutly, praying, and praying for the blessing of the gods.
Savvy businessmen, of course, have found business opportunities here, and they know exactly what visitors and pilgrims need most in this hot climate and sacred place.
On both sides of the stone statue square, many shops, guest rooms, and restaurants have been built. Selling tea, snacks, fruits, souvenirs, and sacrificial items,... , everything is sold.
From the first sight of the stone statue, Lei Yu's heart suddenly had an inexplicable resonance, deep down, I felt that I had some kind of deep relationship with this stone statue, very related, as if I had seen an old friend. "I've never been here, weishenme will have this wonderful feeling, what kind of connection will they have with their own home?" Lei Yu felt very strange, and suddenly fell into a long thought, trying to find out the reason.
Like those devout worshippers, Thunderstorm sat in the worship area in the center of the square, like a devout worshipper, in deep contemplation.
Before, after Ao Yue saw these three stone statues, he lost interest and returned to the Blood Thunder Bead, Ding Biyao and Yu Kexin, seeing that Lei Yu was worshipping there, and they didn't want to interfere with him, Ding Biyao greeted him softly: "Let's go to the pergola to rest, wait for you there." Both left him and walked to the edge of the square, and in the many places of worship and visit, Lei Yu did not worry about any danger to them, and nodded and let them go.
A few hours passed in the contemplation of the thunderstorm, and the thunderstorm sat there motionless, and the flow of people who came to worship went wave after wave, and the thunderstorm was still immovable. It was almost dark, and Thunderstorm had been staring at the tallest stone statue, but his mind was spinning rapidly, and he still couldn't understand it, so he had to stand up, thinking to himself, "Come and see it tomorrow, and we must find out the cause of this resonance!"
"Thunderstorm, we're here!" beckoned Ding Biguio. The two girls, who walked around and bought a lot of fruits and snacks. In the hot continent, this tourist resort at the foot of the mountain is built next to the mountain, and the vegetation is dense, but it is very cool. At this time, after the sun sets, the heat here gradually disappears, and a cool breeze blows, which makes people very comfortable.
"The scenery here is so beautiful, the climate is cool, I really want to stay here for one night, do we really want to go back to the city to live?" Yu Kexin asked with some reluctance.
"Oh, yes, I want to stay here for one night, so we'll go find an inn. Lei Yu said with a smile.
Ding Baguio and Yu Kexin wanted to rest for one night in a comfortable room, and after dinner, they returned to the room and went to the square without accompanying Lei Yu. Thunderstorm made Zhong Yi get a blood thunder bead and live in his room, so that it was convenient to take care of the two of them next door.
At night, there are still many worshippers and cultivators in the square, like a thunderstorm, taking advantage of the bright moonlight to meditate, pray, or cultivate.
"Little stone, I always felt a deep connection with that stone statue, but I couldn't find the reason for it for a while. Thunderstorm and the small stone communicated in their consciousness.
"If you use the 'Reincarnation Bead', you may be able to find out the connection between this stone statue and you, but in doing so, Xiao Shi is very worried, in case something goes wrong... "Little Stone was silent for a moment and said.
"It's better not for the time being, I can't risk the lives of tens of millions of people!" Lei Yu said firmly.
"Why don't you try it, start with the ** that has been cultivated, and see if you can find out the inner connection with it. Little Stone reminded.
"That's right, I'll try to cultivate** and see what it will be. Thunderstorm replied.
One night, Lei Yu meditated in the square, from the "Immortal Sword Technique", "Star Returning to the Yuan Technique", to the "Stick Method Cultivation Technique" one by one under the bright moonlight, and realized it with his heart, until dawn, he still did not solve the mystery in his heart.
When he returned to the inn, he was about to go upstairs to his room, but he ran into Zhong Yi, who was rushing downstairs, "Young Master, Young Lady and Miss Nayu, are gone! I searched everywhere, but I didn't find it!" Zhong Yi said anxiously.
"They must have gone for a walk outside, don't rush!" said Lei Yu calmly. But he let go of his sense and searched for them.
Since taking the 'Bodhi Root', Lei Yu's divine sense can be described as powerful, with a radius of thousands of miles, as long as you concentrate on searching, you can always find it. He let go of his divine sense and concentrated his target within a hundred miles, thinking that they would not go that far!
Let go of the search of divine consciousness, he felt troubled, the nearby iron ore, will absorb most of his divine sense, the direction of the county is slightly better, but I didn't find their figures, the mountains behind the stone statue, with the divine sense search, it is useless!
A few steps to the upper room where they lived, knocking on the door and there was no response, Zhong Yi had already called the innkeeper who received them, and when he saw that it was a thunderstorm that had booked a room, he opened the door.
The room where the two of them lived was orderly, and there was no trace of a fight, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen, and there was a faint fragrance floating in the room.
"It's not good, they were poisoned by the 'life-chasing incense mist and scattered' and were taken away. Little Stone said the name of the Ecstasy.
"Take me to your boss. Thunderstorm grabbed the guy and asked him to lead the way to the innkeeper's room.
Little brother, this kind of thing often happens, and we can't help it, it's they themselves who provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, I advise little brother, if your sect is strong enough, let them deal with it, if you go to provoke alone, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to get out of this mining area, and you will definitely be pulled by them to do coolies, and you will never be able to get out, alas, this matter, we have too much. The innkeeper said helplessly.
"Who are they and where are they?" asked Thunderstorm in a deep voice.
"They're from Butterfly Valley, and they're in charge of the mining area to the west, so it's not worth it to persuade you not to provoke them. The shopkeeper was apprehensive and persuaded again.
