Chapter 275: Dunjia Hides a Thousand Machines
In the middle of the night, the torrential rain is like a curtain of water hanging from the sky, and the occasional thunder and lightning explode in the sky, illuminating the wilderness of the mountains and wilderness.
The muddy earth due to heavy rains and the raging rivers seem to indicate that a crisis is imminent.
A figure rushed through the mountains and forests, braving the wind and rain, his shallow and rapid breathing fluctuated, this person seemed to be injured, but even so, he still ran in a hurry, as if there was a huge threat chasing after him.
The terrain in the mountains is rugged, there are no roads to follow, and the rainy nights are dim, and if there is no lightning to occasionally illuminate the mountains, there is only darkness that cannot be seen.
The figure tripped over the randomly growing grass and trees, and tumbled down the steep slope, stumbling and bruising along the way.
With a boom, thunder and lightning spread across the sky like veins of leaves, and the sight was fleeting, dazzling and terrifying.
Thunder and thunder broke through the rainy night, and a man could be seen lying on a steep slope, clutching a handful of broken roots in the dirt. Not far from his feet was a rushing flood, a muddy water mixed with a large amount of earth, rocks and driftwood, and if the man let go, he would be swallowed up by the raging torrent.
The man was terrified, and even though he was covered in bruises, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, and despite the soaking cold and the exhaustion of the long run, he climbed the steep slope with difficulty, grasping the roots of a tree with one hand and a rock with the other.
"Quick! He's nearby! Don't let him escape! ”
A burst of shouting pierced through the dense rain, and bursts of bright light flickered in the mountains and forests in the distance, shining in different directions.
When the man heard this, his mind fell into the valley, and he did not dare to continue to climb up, otherwise he would be immediately detected by the other party.
But the man's condition at the moment was extremely bad, he no longer had much strength, he could not hold on to the steep slope halfway, if he let go, there would be only one way to die.
However, the situation was worse than the man had expected, the roots of the tree he was holding in his hands were gradually breaking, and his tracks were also found by his pursuers in the distance.
"Here it is! That traitor is hiding under the hillside! "A few athletic men have already run to the top of the slope.
"Quick, release the arrow!" I saw those sturdy men take out their compact crossbows from behind their waists and shoot them at the men down the slope.
The man was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and immediately let go of his strength, falling directly into the tumbling torrent, and disappeared in an instant.
"Wait! The lord said,
Life to see people, death to see corpses! At this moment, a man in the back was wearing a hat and a hat, and he hurried over.
The sturdy man looked at each other a few times, pointed to the torrent below, and said, "That traitor has fallen." ”
The man in the cloth immediately shouted angrily: "Find! Find his body no matter what! ”
"But...... Master Hu, this mountain flood is big, but I'm afraid that the traitor will already be crushed. Someone said.
Master Hu was irritable and said: "This traitor is carrying an important object, if you can't find it, you and I will be caught and stabbed on the bone changing platform!" ”
When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately showed panicked looks. Master Hu stomped his feet and said: "You hurry up and take people to search along the river, whether it is belongings or broken hands and feet, even if there is only one hair left, bring me back!" ”
……
Tao Heling woke up and turned around, his ears could still hear the rumbling of thunder in the distance, and the light and heat from the fire beside him made him feel more comfortable, because the clothes wet by the rainstorm were as dry as ever, and there was no other discomfort on his body except for a few hot swelling sensations.
Out of the corner of his eye, a short-bearded man sat cross-legged on the other side of the fire with his eyes closed, he was wearing a green robe, a wooden staff was lying across his lap, and with Tao Heling's keen ears, he couldn't even hear his breathing.
Tao Heling was about to get up, when the short-bearded man spoke: "Don't move, you have many broken muscles and bones on your body, almost hurting your internal organs." I have medicated your bones, but I have not yet healed, so you should not move. ”
Only then did Tao Heling understand that the feeling of heat swelling on his body was the effect of the drug, but he didn't expect that he could save his life when he fell into a torrent after being hit by an arrow.
"Did the Immortal Master save me?" Tao Heling asked.
"Yes." The short-bearded man never raised his eyes, and if he didn't speak, he would be like a statue in a shrine.
"I travel in the mountains and rivers to take shelter from the rain here." The short-bearded man said, "I heard a commotion in the middle of the night, and then I saw you fall into the flood, so I rescued you." ”
"Thank you Immortal Master for saving your life." Tao Heling breathed a sigh of relief, and now that he has not been dismantled, it is enough to show that he is temporarily out of danger. As soon as his mind relaxed, the feeling of sleepiness came like a tidal wave, making him unable to ask any more questions, and he fell asleep.
When Tao Heling woke up again, the fire beside him had been extinguished, and the sun shone into the cave, he didn't dare to move at will, but he found that the heat swelling on his body had disappeared, thinking that the medicine had taken effect, allowing his injuries to heal quickly.
Tao Heling was quite surprised, he knew that most of the Wai Dan bait pills refined by immortal cultivators had extraordinary effects, but it was still quite rare to be able to heal muscle and bone injuries quickly.
In Tao Heling's impression, the bait and medicine of the immortal family are very precious and rare, and many dignitaries and nobles can only ask for a small amount of elixir, and they are usually used to prolong life, and dare not take it at will.
The short-bearded man, in order to save himself, took out the elixir without asking too much, and this kind of kindness was very heavy.
"Are you awake?"
At this moment, the short-bearded man came from outside the cave, holding a few wild fruits that were not yet ripe.
"Thank you, Immortal Master." Tao Heling was inconvenient to get up, but his tone was very respectful: "I was tired before, and I forgot to ask the name of the immortal master, I don't know if it is convenient to inform?" ”
"Xu Huaiyu, the rivers and lakes are scattered, it's not worth mentioning." Zhao Xiao sat down cross-legged, held the wild fruit in his hand, and gently tapped it with the jade tree staff, and then silently used his mana.
"The younger generation Tao Heling is a member of the Qianji Pavilion...... Sort of. Tao Heling sighed helplessly.
Zhao Xiao didn't ask much, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the wild fruit in his palm, after a burst of blue light, the fruit did not grow, but became full and ruddy, and a ripe fragrance gradually came out.
Eating a wild fruit casually, Zhao Xiao just nodded silently, just seeing Tao Heling's look of hope, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"I was negligent." Zhao Yan said: "You want to come and haven't eaten water for a long time, I use magic to ripen this wild fruit, which should be able to relieve hunger and thirst a little...... Also, you should be able to get up, just don't move too much. ”
Tao Heling sat up in disbelief, sighed that the elixir was extraordinary, and at the same time took a few wild fruits and hurriedly stuffed them into his mouth.
There is no need to bite, the plump and sweet juice fills the mouth, enters the throat instantly, turns into a warm current and travels all over the body, and even the fingertips give birth to a crispy numb feeling.
"What kind of fruit is this? The younger generation has never tasted such a delicacy! Tao Heling was extremely shocked, the taste of the pulp juice was beyond imagination.
"It's just a wild fruit in the mountains." Zhao Xiao replied casually.
It has been more than half a year since he left Yunyan Peak, and Zhao Xiao deduced the qi number according to the true yuan lock, and traveled all the way west, stopping and stopping in various parts of the bear country. In addition to searching for high mountains and peaks and perfecting the deduction of qi, he is also concentrating on cultivation and penetrating all kinds of techniques contained in the Xuanpu Jade Book.
The "jujube flavor method" performed by Zhao Huang is to make the fruit sweet and full. This is not an illusion trick to change the color and five flavors in order to deceive others, but it really changes the physical properties of the fruit, and it has some similarities with the method of alchemy.
Tao Heling had also interacted with immortal cultivators in the past, and had heard of the technique of turning water into wine and water into oil. However, the only person who can really do this can be an extremely advanced immortal master, or it will be a deceptive method of the Jianghu Warlock.
And this Xu Huaiyu can easily rescue himself from falling into a flash flood, heal his serious injuries overnight, and easily turn sour wild fruits into sweet and sweet fruits, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a warlock.
"Just now you said that you are from the Thousand Machines Pavilion?" Zhao Xiao asked, "Could it be that the sect that is proficient in making Karakuri artifacts?" ”
"Not bad." Tao Heling looked a little embarrassed: "But I may not be able to be regarded as a member of the Thousand Machines Pavilion now." ”
"Oh? Why? Zhao asked suddenly.
After thinking for a while, Tao Heling still decided to confess: "Not long ago, a new pavilion master came to the Qianji Pavilion, and he wantonly eradicated dissidents, and the younger generations were also among them. Although he had fought the basis of reason, his skills were low, and he couldn't fight the other party, so he was chased all the way to this point, and finally fled into the mountains and forests. ”
Zhao Xiao bowed slightly, and Tao Heling suddenly knelt down and said, "Immortal Master, the junior has a reluctant request." I implore the immortal master to accept the younger generation as an apprentice and teach the immortal family's wonderful methods. ”
"Xu is just a casual cultivator, he can't talk about the magic of the immortal family, and he doesn't know how to teach it." Zhao Yan said: "What's more, you and I just meet in Pingshui, there is no reason to apprentice for the first time." ”
Tao Heling's expression was depressed, and Zhao Xiao asked, "As far as I know, the Thousand Machines Pavilion has a high status in Youxiong, and it builds telekinetic tools for the imperial court. Why didn't you report this to the police? ”
"The immortal master wants to come and wade into the mortal world." Tao Heling replied: "It is precisely because of the special status of the Qianji Pavilion that the position of the pavilion master is easier, and it involves high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government, so it is not surprising that this kind of thing happened." ”
Zhao Huang was silent, he had deduced all the way before, and finally confirmed a few months ago that the gateway of the True Yuan Jade Mansion would pass through the Dunjia Mountain of the Bear Country, and the dojo of the Thousand Machine Pavilion would be in the valley below the mountain.
In fact, Zhao Xiao had been secretly snooping near Dunjia Mountain for a long time, and he didn't plan to have anything to do with Qianji Pavilion. However, he vaguely found that Qianji Pavilion might also be aware of the imminent change in qi.
Strictly speaking, Qianji Pavilion is not an immortal inheritance, the disciples of the sect study the art of ingenuity, although there were monks in the early years, but it is also to combine the magic tools and magic weapons and charms, and there is no intention to live forever and see the immortal avenue.
However, because Qianji Pavilion was in the last years of the Tianxia Dynasty, it became famous for a while because of the favor of the last emperor, and collected many clever and unpredictable refining methods. After taking refuge in the country of Youxiong, he used the refined magic tools on the battlefield, which was favored by the court of the country of Youxiong.
Different from the Jinding Division's refining talisman armor, the terracotta figurines and iron figurines, the Nine Bull Divine Crossbow, and the Sinan Soldier Chariot made by the Thousand Machine Pavilion are usually huge and conspicuous, and they can exert extraordinary power on the battlefield.
In the face of these ingenious creations, ordinary soldiers and horses alone can no longer compete, and in order to contain a terracotta figurine, Huaxu often had to join forces with multiple monks.
Zhao Xiao remembered that the teacher had said that the things created by the Thousand Machines Pavilion could not be regarded as ordinary refining methods. In particular, the organ city located in Dunjia Mountain can absorb the leyline qi and turn it into a formation prohibition, and there are many wooden kite iron figurines patrolling the sky and the ground, even Zhao Xiao, it is quite difficult to sneak inside.
Zhao Huang guarded outside the city for a few months, and only then did he roughly learn that the Qianji Pavilion had also calculated that there would be a Cave Heaven Portal close to Dunjia Mountain, and they even planned to intercept the Cave Heaven Portal. As for what other plans are in the future, Zhao Xiao is not clear.
In fact, Zhao Huang didn't plan to clash with Qianji Pavilion, after all, this sect was related to the military aircraft of the Xiong Kingdom, and it was heavily guarded, and if it really wanted to fight, I was afraid that it would attract powerful people.
However, the matter of the Cave Heaven Portal could not be taken lightly by Zhao Xiao. According to Lingxiao, opening the door with a true yuan lock also requires the practice of cloth altars. Even if this matter is not difficult for Zhao Xiao now, but when he is practicing the Fa, he is afraid that he will not be able to restrain it.
Moreover, the Dongtian Portal is uncertain, there are only a handful of opportunities to stay in Dunjia Mountain, the next time it will be at least three or five years later, and the Dongtian Portal will not come to Dunjia Mountain again, Zhao Huang does not want to miss this opportunity.
What's more, Zhao Xiao didn't know much about the Thousand Machine Pavilion, in case they really had the ability to intercept the Cave Heaven Portal, Zhao Huang was only afraid that he would really have to face them head-on.
"I don't understand, can an immortal cave heaven like the True Yuan Jade Mansion really be forcibly intercepted?" When Zhao Xiao learned the news, he also asked Lingxiao.
"Today's True Yuan Jade Mansion has not really transcended the world, wandering back between heaven and earth, just like true qi following the scriptures." Ling Xiao explained: "Actually, I suspect that the people of the Thousand Machines Pavilion don't know the specific situation of the Cave Heaven Portal, they may just deduce that something is approaching through the changes in the qi machine, enveloping the vast pure qi, so they start to intercept it. ”
"Qianji Pavilion is not for longevity, what is the intention of grabbing pure qi?" Zhao Xiao asked.
"There are so many foolish mortals, I don't know how to do it." Lingxiao didn't care at all.
Ling Xiao didn't say it, but Zhao Huang guessed about three or five points, and Qianji Pavilion estimated that he was planning to borrow the clear qi of the cave sky, so that a certain creation could be activated.
If it was just Zhao Huang himself, he might even be tempted to make friends with Qianji Pavilion and participate in the method of refining weapons.
However, in order to send the spirit flute back to the True Yuan Jade Mansion, Zhao Xiao couldn't let the Thousand Machine Pavilion intercept the Cave Heaven Portal, let alone let them obstruct it when he opened the Cave Heaven Portal.
Considering that the current Qianji Pavilion has caused all kinds of turmoil because of the change of the position of the pavilion master, Zhao Xiao is sure that if he does nothing again, he is afraid that his plan will be completely frustrated.
However, if you want to deal with Qianji Pavilion, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fight hard, if Zhao Xiao can interfere with their actions, or even let Qianji Pavilion take the initiative to give up intercepting the Cave Heaven Portal, then he may be able to let go of his hands and feet and do things unrestrained.
Therefore, Zhao Xiao has been secretly observing the chaos of Qianji Pavilion recently, and finally selected Tao Heling as a person, and took the initiative to rescue him when he was in danger, which was the first step for Zhao Huang to start interfering in Qianji Pavilion.
