Chapter 19: Discovery
"The spiritual spring must be on these seven routes!"
Because of Shen Changqing, Shen Yanzhou stopped every time he was close to the depths of the mountain forest, refusing to take another step forward.
Maybe just go a little further......
Shen Changqing's eyes wandered over the seven routes marked on the map, no matter what, he had to find this Wang Lingquan!
"Uncle Thirteen, why don't we follow this route and find it again?" Shen Changqing pointed to a winding route on the map and pleaded with Shen Yanzhou.
"The road has already been crossed." Shen Yanzhou glanced at the map and found that it was the route he had already taken yesterday.
"I mean go a little deeper!" Shen Changqing gritted his teeth and said.
This route was not chosen at random by Shen Changqing in desperation.
The aura carried by the underground river allows the white-leaved vine to grow in the wild.
Although the requirements for the growth environment of yellow bud grass are not as harsh as those of white-leaved vines, it is also a spiritual plant after all.
There are more yellow sprouts found on this route than on other routes, and it is very likely that it is because of the aura contained in the underground river!
However, no matter how Shen Changqing persuaded him, Shen Yanzhou was unwilling to take them deep into the mountains and forests, and the level of danger there was no longer under his control.
Shen Changqing was angry, and secretly scolded this uncle in his heart for being so unsympathetic, but he still knew it with emotion and reason, trying in vain to convince him!
"Thirteenth uncle, is it possible that our Shen family is just watching the opportunity slip away from us!"
"You have been a hunter for many years, why don't you understand the saying that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger!"
"Besides, just a little deeper, it may not be dangerous!"
……
Shen Changqing was righteous, telling his speculation and the current situation faced by the Shen family, and repeatedly emphasized that if there was no spiritual spring, even if the Shen family gave everything they had, it would be difficult to support the cultivation of the clan in the end.
"Now everyone is still practicing qi, and there are not many resources used, and the clan is already stretched."
"Thirteenth Uncle, you are also a cultivator, if you had enough resources back then, you may not have the opportunity to step into the middle stage of Qi cultivation."
"Even if our Shen family was only one monk who had stepped into the middle stage of Qi cultivation, how could my father, my eldest brother, and a group of uncles and uncles be buried in the wolf's belly so easily!"
Shen Changqing's eyes were full of tears when he said the emotion, and the two clansmen around him couldn't help but cry when they heard the words, and they were their blood relatives who died tragically under the claws of the wolf demon that day.
No matter how hard Shen Yanzhou's heart was, his face couldn't help but be a little moved at this time, he sighed and said slowly.
"When my mother, that is, your grandmother, was seriously ill, I begged my father-in-law to go into the depths of the mountains and forests to look for the elixir, but it was only half a mile deeper, and then something happened."
"Your thirteenth uncle and my skills are all taught by my father-in-law, and it is still difficult to reach the seventy percent level of his old man, you want me to take you into the depths of the mountains and forests, if you encounter danger......
"That's better than staying in Shenjiazhuang, waiting for the next time the demon beast attacks, waiting to be killed!" Shen Changqing said coldly, no matter what, he had to find this Wang Lingquan.
"That's it, that's it, I'll take you around!" Shen Yanzhou finally couldn't help it, and said to the two clansmen around him, "You two don't have to follow. ”
In the depths of the mountains and forests, it is not easy to protect Shen Changqing alone with his skills, and it will be a burden to take the two of them with him.
Let the two clansmen wait here, and Shen Yanzhou took Shen Changqing and walked towards the depths of the mountain forest along the chosen route.
Before he was halfway there, Shen Changqing called out "Wait", and then pulled out a young grass that was more than half an inch long from an overgrown place.
"Thirteenth uncle, look, this is a seedling of yellow bud grass, the last time we came, it had not yet taken root and sprouted, and it broke through the ground in just two days, it is conceivable that the aura of the underground dark river has played a role!"
Shen Changqing's map will only show the spirit plants that have been formed, and the seeds will not be displayed.
This newborn yellow bud grass seedling made Shen Changqing even more determined that this spiritual spring was on this route in front of him.
"Proceed with caution!" Shen Yanzhou didn't say much, and after telling Shen Changqing to pay attention to safety, the two embarked on the journey again.
"Ahead is deep in the mountains and forests, and you must not stay five steps away from me from this moment on!"
Before going deep into the mountains and forests, Shen Yanzhou repeatedly told Shen Changqing, and took out a bottle of medicinal powder from the fur bag he carried and sprinkled it on the two of them.
He took out two more black pills and let Shen Changqing hold them in his mouth.
When the pill entered his mouth, a burst of bitterness poured into his brain, and Shen Changqing almost didn't spit it out on the spot.
"Do you think that in the depths of the mountains and forests, there are more trees, more fierce beasts, and more poisonous insects? Then you are too underestimating Uncle Thirteen and my ability! Shen Yanzhou looked at Shen Changqing's bitter face and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's take ten steps further, and we will enter the range covered by miasma, this pill is to ensure that you will not be invaded by that miasma, don't feel bitter and secretly spit it out."
But it's too bitter!
As a human being in two lives, Shen Changqing experienced the stimulation of bitterness for the first time!
However, as Uncle Thirteen said, after only a few dozen steps behind him, Shen Changqing obviously found that the air around him had become viscous, and it was visibly a faint green to the naked eye.
"This miasma has existed since the birth of the mountain forest, and the deeper you go, the more toxic it becomes, when my father-in-law and I were only half a mile deeper, the pill in our mouth was ineffective."
"So near this mountain forest, except for our Shen family, there is no one else to live!"
Listening to Uncle Thirteen's introduction, Shen Changqing was not surprised at all.
The mortals of the cultivation realm have always relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.
The terrain around here is flat, there is no shortage of mountains, there is no shortage of water, and there are no human settlements in this vast mountain forest, so you can imagine its danger and barrenness.
Of course, this barrenness is for the Terrans.
Shen Changqing also found that there were mostly poisonous insects and poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests in front of him, and ordinary beasts were almost extinct.
And unlike other forests, which are overgrown with mortal medicinal materials such as ginseng and reishi, in addition to some poisonous weeds and medicinal materials with harsh growth environments, even mushrooms and other fungi are very rare.
In this way, it is no wonder that no one wants to live and work in the neighborhood anymore.
However, the ancestors of the Shen family were unusual, and settled nearby.
"Doesn't this mountain forest have a name?" Shen Changqing was a little curious, such a large piece of mountain forest didn't have a name.
Uncle Thirteen shook his head and said, "Where there is no value, how can someone deliberately choose a name for him." ”
……
After entering the depths of the mountain forest, the thirteenth uncle deliberately slowed down his pace, and the road that he could usually walk with a stick of incense took half an hour.
Shen Yanzhou blocked Shen Changqing behind him and probed three times in one step.
Shen Changqing had already begun to pay attention to the light curtain map in front of him since the two of them were traveling, looking forward to the green drop of water symbolizing the spiritual spring appearing on it as soon as possible.
"Changqing, do you want to go further!" Shen Yanzhou's face was solemn, and the pill in his mouth had changed from bitter to slightly sweet, which was a precursor to the failure of the pill!
"A little further!" Shen Changqing stared at the light curtain in front of him that only he could see.
Shen Yanzhou didn't say much, and continued to move forward with Shen Changqing.
one-step
Two steps
Three steps
……
"There it is!" Shen Changqing exclaimed violently!
At the edge of the light curtain map, a drop of green water pops up!
