Chapter 527: Traces on the Big Stone
It was the first routine morning in the Great Wilderness.
When the sun is sprinkled, the heaven and the earth are brilliant, at the edge of the spread of the wings to pick up the stars and fly to a higher place to look west, the mountains and forests, the big rivers and rivers, although I dare not say that I have a panoramic view, but I can see a corner of it, but it is enough to peep into the leopard, this is a kind of majesty and magnificence that even the desert sunset can not compare, the sky is high and far, see all the sight, as if the whole world has been put into the heart.
Everyone simply cleaned up, because thinking of the difficult and dangerous journey after that, it was quite inconvenient, and it was inevitable that there would be places that could not be taken into account - especially for Li Mu, so Xiao Cong extracted a large amount of mother lotus juice and put it into Jiang Caijun's treasure bottle and handed it to the ghost girl, and gave each of the others some food in advance, and it was at this time that he knew that among the twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family, there were three people who were deeply hidden!
The group went on the road again, this time it was Ouyang Xun who took the lead, although the map was no longer drawn by this guy himself, but he did have an advantage over the others in the team in this regard, he had just arrived in this unfamiliar and sinister place, to be honest, even if he held the map in his hand, Xiao Cong was not sure that he could lead the way, but fortunately, Ouyang Xun was an all-rounder in the team.
Since there is no need to rush anymore, then you have to put safety first, Xiao Cong and Hongxiang take turns to perform their duties, always maximizing their spiritual power, Ouyang Xun's gaze rarely leaves the map, and he walks cautiously along the way, although the overall terrain of the Great Wilderness is more obvious, but it is a little complicated in the details, for example, Xiao Cong They are now logically walking in the plain forest, but there is always a hill-like stone with a height of between one hundred zhang and one hundred and fifty zhang along the way, Xiao Cong has carefully checked, these" Although the hill is large, it does not extend to the foot of the underground mountain, so he judged that this should be the collapse of the large mountain range and rolled to this side, and the trunks of the trees here are tall and leafy, each of which is two or three times more exaggerated than the thickest trees in the ancient Zhou Plain, and the flat eyes look like a staggered pillar of the sky, and the growth position of these trees is avoided by the place where the big stones stand, so it seems that these big stones have been rolling down here longer than the age of these old trees.
Xiao Cong finally couldn't help but stop and carefully observe the edge of the stone, although the age is already old, you can still see the residual veins on some stones, the fracture is not falling off along the veins, it is generally caused by external forces, and looking at the distant mountains, whether it is an earthquake, a volcano or a mudslide, it will not move such a big stone so far, and this stone is so hard, so Xiao Cong judged that the reason why these stones are here is caused by the Gu Immortal-level war.
Xiao Cong asked Ouyang Xundao:
"Do you know what these trees are?"
Ouyang Xun turned around and looked around, and replied:
"There are so many varieties, some recognize them, some don't, why are you asking this?"
Xiao Cong no longer beats around the bush,
"How many years do you think the oldest tree in here has lived?"
"Well," Ouyang Xun pondered for a moment, "there should be 100,000 years." β
"It's only 100,000 years?" Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he didn't believe it.
"Xiao Cong, I just want to say something and say no directly, rest assured, with our psychology, we can stand it. Starstream Cloud said with a big grin.
Xiao Cong raised his hand and pointed to the veins on the stone, and said firmly:
"Look here, this is a vein, if it is not caused by an external force, the fracture of the stone should be distributed along this vein, but until now this vein still looks so clear, which shows that this stone is splashed here under the impact of a very energetic external force, but this is so far away from the mountain range, so all the stones here may have come here in a big war, and the growth position of these trees is avoiding the stones, indicating that these trees grew after the boulder fell here, and the age of the trees can be inferred from the time of the great warγ β
Ouyang Xun thought thoughtfully, and then Xiao Cong's words said:
"If the time of the great war coincides with the time of the battle in folklore, it means that it is not a legend, but it is true, if it is later than it...... That means that these damages are caused by the creatures in the Great Wilderness themselves, and the creatures that can cause such damage are estimated to be Gu Immortal level, Gu Immortal level creatures, and they are still so close to the Forbidden Forest......"
Ouyang Xun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the rest of his words were self-evident.
Hongxiang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said:
"Ouyang Xun, don't be alarmist here, you think this is the immortal realm, the existence of the Gu Immortal level is so casual. β
Then the conversation changed and said to Xiao Cong:
"Brother, I don't think the age of the tree can be used as the basis for us to judge time, unless it is the best in the wood genus, otherwise there is basically no one who can live for more than a million years, and their final fate is either to ascend to the tree immortal, or to be eroded by the years and become the nutrients of other creatures, and the time we have to explore is too long, in the same position, I don't know how many times to reincarnate!"
The phantom echoed,
"I think what Hongxiang said is right, the cycle of life and death, the reciprocation of prosperity and decline, the time span is too large, even the traces on the stone itself are not enough to use as a basis for inferring time, but whether it is in the Great Wilderness or outside the Great Wilderness, there is always the same restriction in the same heaven and earth, and the world we are familiar with has not appeared for a long time Gu Immortal-level existence, so even if we don't know anything about the Great Wilderness now, we can still be sure that there are not so many Gu Immortal-level supremes here. β
Xiao Cong's little face was surprised, and he smiled and said:
"Why, don't you think I'm scared, don't think too much about it, I just found these clues, so I want to dig deeper, but I make you like a frightened bird, forget it, since this issue is so sensitive, let's go over like this, let's move on." β
After speaking, he turned his head cleanly and walked forward.
......
After walking one journey after another, gradually, everyone found that although there is a wild word in the name of the great wilderness, it actually does not look barren at all, at least in the place they walked through, no matter which place, it is a thriving scenery, except for the trees that grow too thick, the terrain is a little more complicated, and the others are no different from the mountains and forests outside, there are flowers, grasses, insects, and all kinds of smaller birds and beasts, but all the living creatures here always feel weird and seem to be very violent, because every time Xiao Cong sees them, they are always fightingγ
This night, Hongxiang finally couldn't help it, caught a few hares and prepared to treat his stomach, he had already been hungry for these fresh game for a long time, just because he was afraid of the unknown of the wilderness, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but now many days have passed, the terrible wilderness, they haven't seen it at all, so the faint deterrent power is greatly reduced unconsciously, with the spiritual power he has now, he can naturally easily distinguish which are mortal beasts, which are spiritual cultivators, he only picks up mortal beasts to bully, spiritual cultivation is never daring, but he didn't report to Xiao Cong in advance this time, just smiled at Xiao Cong after catching it, Xiao Cong didn't say anything, It can be regarded as acquiescence, and then this guy let go of his courage and dared to beckon Yin Nuo to help him do the preliminary treatment of the game he called, but Yin Nuo didn't feel anything, and he cleaned up completely after dividing five by two.
Accustomed to the night with a bonfire, suddenly not seen for a few days, I feel that there seems to be something missing in life, everyone misses the warm feeling brought by the bonfire, but for the sake of insurance, tonight's bonfire did not dare to be born in the open air, Hongxiang will be born in the sheepskin tent, use it as a firewood room, roast the meat in it, and then bring the meat out for everyone to eat.
Ouyang Xun felt that it was always like this, after all, everyone didn't know how long they would spend time here, and it was a matter of time before they had a good place to stay, so they simply put their hearts on the horizon and combined with Xingliuyun, preparing to make a huge tent that could accommodate everyone.
Xingliuyun asked Xiao Cong,
"Satoshi, is there a psychic tree around here, we're going to make a big enough tent so we don't have to bother so much in the future. β
Xiao Cong closed his eyes and sensed carefully, opened his eyes, his face was full of surprise, he had always put his spiritual power on finding a powerful dangerous aura before, and he had never explored the situation of these old trees, at this time, after a little probing, he found that these old trees were not psychic, they were just like the mortal trees outside, this was a major discovery for Xiao Cong, since these old trees had never cultivated, what did they grow by virtue of being thicker than the giant trees in the ancient Zhou Plain? He couldn't believe it, so he probed it carefully, and the result was the same as the last time, and there was no mental fluctuation at all in these old trees around him!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the change in Xiao Cong's complexion, Xingliuyun asked softly, this question attracted Ouyang Xun, who was still designing the tent structure on the side,
"What, what's going on again?"
Xiao Cong smiled,
"It's only now that I found out that these old trees around me didn't have the slightest mental fluctuations, you don't think it's strange, they don't have any cultivation, and they grow thicker than the old tree spirits in the rainforest of the Guzhou Plain. β
Ouyang Xun held the pen in his right hand and tapped his palm lightly, muttering thoughtfully:
"It's a strange phenomenon, what is the reason why ordinary tree species can have such a long lifespan?"
Starstream Cloud waved his hand,
"Whatever, it's a good thing for us, just do one thing and finish it according to one yard, don't beat the dog and the chicken for a while, what's the problem here, you put it first, and then talk about it after the tent is built!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the brothers of the Hades clan and the twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family:
"Let's go, brothers, cut down some trees. β
Hearing this, Ouyang Xun hurriedly shouted:
"Zainong and Huo Hao, the two seniors, just follow Xingliuyun, you don't need to cut a few, one is enough. β
Starstream Cloud laughed a few times,
"How can one tree be enough to make such a big tent. β
As he spoke, he shook his two arms and walked away with a step that his six relatives did not recognize.
Ouyang Xun was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet and shouted:
"Xingliuyun, you have to be careful in special times, don't look for trouble!"
Xiao Cong didn't care, waved Ouyang Xun's arm, and said with a smile:
"Don't take it seriously, he's kidding you, which is more important, the boss knows it in his heart. β
Ouyang Xun pouted,
"That's because you don't know him well enough, some people just make mistakes for no reason, get into trouble, smack, anyway, we must not be able to bear the current situation. β
As he spoke, he shook his head and continued to make the design of the tent.
Xiao Cong was still silent as before, his head was slightly raised, thinking about his own affairs, the fact that there was no psychic tree around him did not distract him, in the state of the string in his heart gradually loosening, whether it was Xingliuyun logging or Hongxiang hunting to improve his life seemed to be an irrelevant matter, and what haunted him the most was the plan arranged by the Turtle Mansion and the Xiao family that even his master might participate in, which made him guess his true role, and he also doubted the meaning of his existence, is it like a chess pieceAre those self-righteous feelings and love all "efforts" made to achieve the ultimate goal? If so, is it too pathetic for one's own existence?
He recalled his past and remembered a lot of things, and the memories before entering Tiandaoxuan to learn art directly dispelled his suspicions about his father, because he knew that his father at that time did not know his special innate endowment, but his father was still so meticulous to him, although he was a little negligent in some aspects due to the heavy family affairs, but his father had indeed done his best within his ability.
Next is a day for the teacher and a father for life, the master loves him a lot, the grace is like a mountain, in his consciousness has always been the closest person in addition to his parents, Xiao Cong thought that he was suspicious of the master, he couldn't help but want to smoke himself a few big mouths, but after all, there is still one thing in his heart, so that he can never forget, that is the choice made by the master ten years ago after discovering his special innate endowment, the master and his old man uphold the way of heaven, to help the world as his own responsibility, how could he take such a big risk to leave him such a scourge that is very likely to harm the common people in the future, He still remembers what Ouyang Xun said a few days ago - "Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind and people are dogs, and he will never be able to produce that soft-hearted saint in his life...... "He doesn't know if his master is a so-called saint, but he can be sure that although the master is a little confused on the surface, in fact, everything in his heart is like a mirror. Resolute, rational and daring, and rashly leaving him behind, it is obviously not Master's consistent style of acting, he has now understood that the master was going to leave that time, but for him, Master stayed in Tiandaoxuan for another six years, six years, and his previous time in Tiandaoxuan was only three years.
So, why is it that all these things are unusual when you think about it? In the discussion a few days ago, he unexpectedly thought of the so-called plan, Master may also be involved in it, and he is the person selected this time, whether it is from the day Master decided to keep him, they have already paved his way for the future, he doesn't know, but he still stubbornly believes in his heart that no matter what Master does, it will definitely be towards him.
