Chapter 30: A Thousand Faces Grass
Qin Xun walked out of the Thunder Yin Holy Realm and did not go down the mountain directly, his appearance of a scared ghost was easy to recognize, and he had to do some camouflage, Qingqiu Mountain was the best place to take materials.
Qingqiu Mountain is not big, only a radius of more than ten miles, not more than a hundred zhang high, but it is very famous, there are thousands of fierce places 'earthly abyss', there are all kinds of strange flowers and fruits, fierce birds and beasts.
The ancient trees are towering, the withered vines are entangled, Qin Xun walks in the dense forest with difficulty, his eyes carefully observe the flowers and plants on the ground, 'Thousand Faces Grass' is a kind of magical herb that can be disguised, only grows in Qingqiu Mountain, Qin Xun has also seen a record about it in the "Hundred Grass Classic", this grass is amorphous, can change with the different environment, sometimes into flowers, sometimes into vines, and may become a piece of cyanosis, the only thing that can be identified is that there will be a very small human face in the place where it grows.
The mountains are full of trees and weeds, and the 'Thousand Faces Grass' can be transformed at any time, to find it, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, Qin Xun wandered around the forest for most of the day without finding anything, and then walked forward to enter the center of Qingqiu Mountain, where the paradise of fierce beasts, even if the cultivator has reached the Tiangan realm, there is no return. Qin Xun raised his head, looked at the sun hanging in the air through the gap in the forest, and resolutely walked forward.
Qingqiu Mountain in the day is unusually quiet, as if all the birds and beasts have fallen into a deep sleep, Qin Xun's figure slowly moves towards the center in this strange quiet, the more he goes inside, the more strange the surrounding environment becomes, the tighter his nerves are tense, I don't know how many dangers are hidden under this strange quiet, along the way, he has seen yams that quickly burrow into the soil when he encounters people, poison ivy with snake head fruits, and red lotus growing in the blood mud, surrounded by the bones of wild beasts, in front of him is a half-human tall plant, shaped like wheat, the branches and leaves are green, and the huge ears of wheat exude a rich aroma of rice, inhaling into the nose and suddenly feeling a feeling of hunger in the stomach, Qin Xun hurriedly held his breathMoving forward quickly, the "Book of Herbs" records that this plant is called 'hungry grass', and the aroma emitted can instantly increase the digestive function of the human body by a thousand times, making people die of hunger in a short period of time.
After walking for another two or three hours, Qin Xun still had no gain, looking at the sunshine in the west, he was a little anxious, at night, all the fierce beasts would come out to move, and he would definitely not be able to get out of Qingqiu Mountain alone.
A gust of yin wind blew, and a mountain road suddenly appeared in the distance, Qin Xun walked out of the dense forest, and walked inward along the mountain road for a while, the surrounding atmosphere made his heart numb, but this feeling was very familiar, and he walked forward a few hundred meters, and a square boulder appeared in front of him, and the big stone was stained with blood. The three ancient and vigorous blood-colored characters of the earthly abyss wriggled on the boulder, and the surrounding ten meters were scorched black earth, and the front of the boulder was shrouded in a black mist, and the clouds inside the mist were churning, as if sealed by a force, unable to spread, and the clouds collided with each other, producing terrifying electric light, and under the black mist was an endless abyss!
This terrifying environment is not something that Qin Xun can set foot in, he stopped at the periphery for a while, admired the charm of the eternal fierce land, and was about to leave, when he turned around, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him, he was shocked, he looked carefully ahead, and found nothing, but the feeling of being watched was more real, his consciousness was now very strong, and he believed that his feelings would not go wrong, he calmed down, his eyes stared ahead, and searched inch by inch, and finally found a cyan face with an indifferent expression under the blood-colored characters, Qin Xun had a burst of joy on his face, but he didn't expect to find it here'Thousand Faces Grass'!
He raised his feet and walked towards the boulder, but as soon as he stepped into the scorched black ground, he felt a biting yin wind blowing, making his whole body tremble, and his muscles instantly stiffened, this kind of yin wind was not something he could withstand at all, Qin Xun hurriedly retreated to the same place, and exercised hard to make the stiff muscles relax, he was a little frustrated in his heart, he didn't expect it. The thousand-faced grass actually grew in such a harsh environment, without the kind of cultivation of the Emperor of Tsing Yi eighteen years ago, it was difficult for him to walk through this ten meters of yin and windy land, Qin Xun glanced at the cyan face again, and was surprised to find that the expression on the green face changed, from indifference just now to ridicule, and a wave of anger suddenly rose, he was actually despised by a grass!
Aunt can bear it, Uncle can't bear it!
He gritted his teeth and walked towards the Thousand Faces again. With the experience just now, it was not so uncomfortable to take the first step this time, but after stepping into the second step, the coldness of the yin wind intensified by a point, half of Qin Xun's black face was a little pale, he did not stop, and continued to take a step forward, he took the step to the maximum, one step was about one and a half meters, and when he reached the fifth step, the raging yin wind had already blown his skin cracked, and there were blood streaks oozing out on the surface, Qin Xun's hands and feet were stiff, and his teeth trembled up and down, making a clanging sound.
There was less than two steps to step on that nasty smiling face, he took another step forward against the huge resistance, the yin wind suddenly turned into substance, like ten thousand sharp blades constantly squeezing and tearing flesh and blood, and it was extremely difficult to breathe, this pain was even a hundred times more intense than the sequelae caused by the magic pulp, Qin Xun squinted and looked at the green face that was close at hand, although there was only a small half step left, but this half step was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
He lifted his steps with difficulty, his body struggled forward, a tearing pain came from his face and arms, the skin that leaked in the yin wind was completely lifted, revealing blood-red muscles, and the blood that flowed out was blown into the air by the yin wind and was instantly absorbed by the bloodstained boulder.
Qin Xun lifted one foot but could not land, his body was frozen in the air and could not move the slightest distance, he had tried his best, but it was this half a step away that made all his efforts come to naught, but he was unwilling to give up, even if he was facing that nasty smile, he had to fight again.
He endured the pain in his heart and struggled in the yin wind for a long time, and his body advanced another half foot or so, but the blood in his body was almost dry, and his powerful consciousness gradually began to blur.
Just when Qin Xun was about to fall into a fainting, a gentle breath suddenly came from the mysterious black stone in his chest, which quickly changed his whole body, and then returned to the black stone from his chest, this breath was endless, and the cycle continued to nourish his blood.
After a while, Qin Xun's consciousness was completely restored, and he was overjoyed in his heart, since he entered the mysterious black stone of the Thunder Sound Sacred Realm, it had been silent, and after leaving the Thunder Sound Sacred Realm, it still did not move at all, Qin Xun suspected that it was just a one-time magic weapon, but he didn't expect it to play a role in time in this desperate situation, it was really a relief in the snow!
The flesh and blood of the whole body quickly recovered as before, Qin Xun's footsteps fell heavily, and he stepped on the green face accurately, and a miserable cry immediately came from the boulder.
With the protection of the mysterious black stone, the surrounding yin wind had no effect on Qin Xun, and he stepped on the green face a few times, and suddenly felt refreshed.
He bent down and squatted in front of the boulder, looking carefully, except for a small stone in the shape of a bamboo shoot, he did not find a suspicious plant like 'Thousand Faces Grass', not even a piece of moss, he looked at the human face that had been stepped on by him to turn red, and wondered in his heart, the record of the "Hundred Herbs Sutra" should not be wrong, could it be that this human face is just a big stone illusion, and he didn't want to believe it.
He searched for a meter around the big stone, still found nothing, his eyes swept over the bamboo shoot-shaped stone again, his gaze suddenly stopped, eighteen years ago the Tsing Yi people put him there, he remembered that there was nothing else around at that time except the big stone, and no one would come to this eternal place, deliberately planted a small stone under this stone tablet.
He crouched down again, grabbed the stone and broke it vigorously, but it didn't shake, and it felt like a stone, not a plant. He thought for a moment, took out a small carving knife from his arms, looked at the human face and smiled proudly, the red human face on the boulder immediately became extremely frightened, Qin Xun used the knife to slash along the facial contours of the human face, when he finished drawing a circle, the human face suddenly disappeared, and the bamboo shoot-shaped stone turned into a small white grass with only one leaf.
Qin Xun gently plucked the leaf, looked at it carefully, and found that every grain of pigment on the leaf was a different face, and he felt strange in his heart, he played with it in his hand, and then swallowed the leaf into his stomach with his eyes closed, and quickly imagined his appearance in his previous life in his mind.
A faint white mist gradually enveloped him, in the white mist, Qin Xun's figure and appearance changed drastically, after a while, the white mist dissipated, Qin Xun's appearance has completely changed into another person, dark complexion, angular-edged face, with a gentle smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, but faintly containing a superior demeanor.
Qin Xun took advantage of the reflection of the knife face of the small carving knife, looked at this long-lost face, narcissistically, smiled with satisfaction on his face, and went back the way he came.
The sun was about to set, the light in the forest became dim, and a violent atmosphere gradually rose, and occasionally a low roar came from all around, Qin Xun couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Suddenly, a terrifying beast roar came from not far away, and the ground trembled violently, followed by several chaotic screams and screams.
Qin Xun looked at the sky, at this moment, before the group of beasts was active, someone must have entered the mountain to hunt for treasures, alarming the guardian beasts of the treasures.
This roar seemed to open the cage of ten thousand beasts, and countless beast roars rang out from all directions, and the surrounding towering trees were shaken and trembled.
Qin Xun's complexion changed greatly, he didn't think much about it, let go of his footsteps and ran out of the mountain.
The roar of the beast became louder and louder, gradually mixed with the sound of ten thousand beasts galloping, Qin Xun ran quickly along the way he came, and he couldn't even take a breath, if he couldn't get out of the center before the sun went down, he could only wait for death at that time, and he would definitely die a miserable death.
The angry shouts in front of him are getting closer and closer, Qin Xun knows that I am afraid that there is a group of unlucky people who are looking for treasures in front of him, he wants to make a detour, but this road is the path he came from, if he does not return according to the original way, it will be even more dangerous, and if he does not wait for the beast to eat him, the terrifying plants in the forest will also easily devour his life.
