Chapter 289: The More You Know, the More "Ignorant" You Become
Qu Wuming recalled the myths and stories he had heard when he was a child, combined with his past knowledge of the refining of wind attribute magic weapons, and compared with what he had seen and felt since he entered the Mingsha Plain, he felt more and more that the underground of the Mingsha Plain seemed to be buried with a big secret!
It's just that the things involved in this secret may be too old and too secretive, don't say it's yourself, I'm afraid that even if the true immortal world has the power to descend here, it may not have the ability to reveal this secret.
Moreover, the more secretive many things are, the greater the cause and effect that may be involved.
Such a level of cause and effect is not something that a small person like Qu Wuming can be contaminated.
Thinking of this, Qu Wuming suddenly stopped his mind to explore the secret of Mingshayuan, urged the "Falling Star" orb, and hurried to the road with all his might.
Although he no longer dared to explore this secret that was beyond his ability or even understanding, Qu Wuming's heart also raised a sense of pride in the face of more unknowns-
I have been cultivating for more than a thousand years, and it seems that the time is not short, but what I know and see, put it between the vast universe and the avenue of heaven and earth, I am afraid that it is no different from an ant under my feet.
It is no wonder that someone once said that the more a person knows, the more he will understand the limitations of his knowledge, and the more he will feel his own insignificance and ignorance.
On the contrary, the more dissatisfied the bottle and the more the half bottle is swaying, the more they will feel that they know everything, they can do everything, and they are full of confidence and self-righteousness every day, but they don't know that they are just an arrogant and ignorant ant.
Why do some learned elders seem humble? Why are some people who are good at being teachers, but they actually don't have a lot of money.
That's probably why.
"I'm probably humble, horizontal and vertical is not good for being a teacher. Although a new apprentice has been accepted, the reason may be that he was impulsive, but the harvest has already been received, and if there is cause and effect in the future, the good ones will be mine, and the bad ones will be mine. That's it, if you collect everything, why bother yourself, if you collect more in the future, you will get used to it. Qu Wuming suddenly remembered his newly accepted disciple Mu Yun for no reason, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
While thinking wildly in his head, he carefully avoided the risks he might encounter in sneaking, and he actually crossed the Mingsha Plains all the way without danger.
And the time, it seems that it only took more than two days.
Before Qu Wuming left the Mingsha Plain, he did notice a different aura in the sea of knowledge - at this time, where the Mingsha Plain, which was still raging with sand and dust, bordered the outside, there was a space of about dozens of zhang as if there was an invisible barrier, and almost all the black sand and Xunfeng would quickly converge back once they rushed into this area, and there would never be half a cent leaked outside.
When Qu Wuming passed through that area, the pair of spell-breaking hammers that were originally quiet in the sea of knowledge actually flew up without anyone urging them, as if they were about to fly out of the purple mansion space, Qu Wuming hurriedly asked Qu Wuxuan to put down the things in his hand, and included the pair of magic-breaking hammers into his Qingyu space, and isolated them with the technique of overlapping space, which brought the pair of stone hammers out of the Mingsha Plain.
Wait until Qu Wuming is at least ten miles away from the Mingsha Plain and then look back, only then can he see how spectacular the sandstorm in the Mingsha Plain is!
Counting the days, this sandstorm has lasted more than half of the time. As far as the eye can see, there is already chaos in the area of the Mingsha Plain, and the rolling Xunfeng winds are rolling countless black gravel, spinning wildly within the invisible barrier of the Mingsha Plain, as if a black wind pillar soaring into the sky!
In the raging wind and sand, the sound of the wind is accompanied by thunder, and it is endless. Even from a distance of more than ten miles, you can still feel a faint tremor in the air, as if the earth is trembling under the ravages of this pillar of wind.
The towering pillar of wind was almost impossible to see at this time, and around the pillar of wind in the sky, there were already patches of dark clouds gathered at some point, and the same lightning and thunder roared, a hellish scene.
"I really don't know how those who entered the Mingsha Plains before survived in the end." Qu Wuming smacked his tongue for a while, thinking that if all the black sand in the sky fell after the wind dispersed, the impact and weight would be extremely amazing, right? Fortunately, he had escaped safely, and in Qu Wuxuan's Qingyu space, the pair of stone hammers that had been restless had finally completely quieted down, and Qu Wuming knew that as long as he didn't approach the range of Mingsha Plains with this pair of "Spell-Breaking Hammers" in the future, they should always be quiet like this.
Although it was dangerous and almost eaten by a bug, Mingshayuan and his party were full of harvest, and it was worth the trip......
————
After passing the Mingsha Plains and moving forward for another day, they have approached the destination of Qu Wuming's trip - Ghost Mingyuan.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation of mana in Qu Wuming's storage ring.
Qu Wuming frowned, and the power of his divine sense swept towards the storage ring, and he was surprised to find that the mana fluctuation was actually the cloak that was still in the corner by himself.
At that time, Xing Xin was killed by Qu Siqiu with an arrow, and she was actually wearing this cloak on her body.
But the power of the Sky Splitting Arrow was too strong, and an arrow shot in from Xing Xin's dantian and pierced out from behind, and there was an instant hole in this Duyou cloak, which was almost half a foot or so.
Later, Qu Wuming also took the time to test whether the function of the cloak was still intact, but found that it could no longer be used normally. No matter how much mana is entered, it will escape shortly after.
If you keep inputting mana, you can still urge it to transform its body into the appearance of a ghost servant, or into the appearance of a bloodthirsty demon bat—except for the one on its belly that is still its original appearance, the other positions are vivid and flawless.
Qu Wuming wanted to throw it away casually, but then he thought of the auction price of the Duyou cloak, hesitated for a moment and silently put it in the storage ring - in case it was used in an emergency, or when he went back, he would find Xianghezhai to repair it, which would save a waste.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't bear it for a while, but it seemed that he was going to add another trouble to himself - as the mana fluctuations on the Duyou cloak became more and more intense, Qu Wuming had already seen a golden light from a distance like an arrow from a string rushing towards his direction.
And vaguely, there was already a vague power of divine consciousness that fell on his body, as if he had firmly locked himself.
Since the trouble has come to the door, let's see what the trouble is, if it is the buyer who auctioned the cloak in the first place......
Before Qu Wuming could finish muttering a sentence in his heart, the light had already swept more than ten zhang away and stopped, and immediately after, a powerful and incomparable divine consciousness power fell on Qu Wuming's body - judging from the power of that divine consciousness, the cultivation of the coming person was at least between the third and fourth layers of the refining period.
"Okay, you bold thief, you didn't run away this time?" The person who came stared at Qu Wuming, who was wearing a hidden robe, and couldn't see Qu Wuming's identity and cultivation for a while, but he still asked aggressively.
"Thieves? You and I have never met, why do you slander people's innocence for no reason? Qu Wuming's original plan was that if the person who came was indeed the original buyer of the cloak, if the other party asked him kindly, he only needed to tell the other party about the past, and the broken cloak would be returned to him, so as not to have any disputes.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so domineering, and he unreasonably imprisoned all the space around him with the power of his divine consciousness - if it weren't for the fact that the power of his divine consciousness was not much weaker than the other party at this time, I am afraid that he would have been unable to move at this time and could only be slaughtered!
Qu Wuming looked at the person with cold eyes, and saw that the person opposite was not tall, only about his chest height, wearing a set of tight-fitting black clothes, wrapping his body tightly, and even wearing black gloves on his hands.
The man had a black mask covering his face, which blocked his entire face from the back, and it was impossible to see it at all, except vaguely from the bulging hood on his head, as if he had a bun tied at the back of his head.
Behind the man's back, he carried a long, narrow-bladed knife on his back, but unlike ordinary swordsmen, his long knife was tied behind him with the handle down and the tip upward, and from the pitch-black scabbard, he could actually feel a surge of knife intent.
In addition to being a cultivator in the Void Refining Period, it seems that his internal strength has at least reached the realm of a great grandmaster!
Between the black belt around the man's waist was a short, narrow-bladed knife.
Qu Wuming smiled secretly in his heart, he hadn't seen an opponent of the double cultivation of law and martial arts for a long time, but he didn't expect to finally meet one, and it was actually a second sword.
At this time, the man bowed slightly, stood on the ground in a T-shaped step, one hand was already on the hilt of the knife behind him, seeing that Qu Wuming not only did not answer, but did not even move, he was a little surprised in his heart - the cultivation aura he showed when the person smuggled the cloaked last time seemed to be much weaker than himself, it stands to reason that under his own strong coercion at this time, he should show some flaws, but if he wants to move under his own coercion - doesn't that mean that this person's cultivation is already on par with his own?
"Hmph, where's my cloak? Hand it over, and I'll give you a happy death! The man gripped the hand holding the hilt of the knife hard, and the power of divine consciousness had already turned into an invisible palm, and he grabbed the hood of Qu Wuming's hidden robe while he was speaking!
Before you start, at least see who your opponent is.
However, before the power of his divine consciousness touched Qu Nameless's robe, a scorching black flame had already shot out from Qu Nameless's sleeve, and in an instant, it turned into a flaming palm, and it slapped on the palm of the person's divine consciousness power.
Hearing a muffled sound in the air, the man only felt a tingling pain coming from the sea of consciousness, and couldn't help but snort, and hurriedly cut off the power of the divine sense, which avoided the danger of the divine consciousness being further devoured.
Under the mask, looking at Qu Wuming's gaze couldn't help but become a little colder, and he was about to make a move, but he heard Qu Wuming suddenly speak.
"You're the shinobi of Izumo Province?" Qu Wuming seemed to have done something inconsequential, and didn't seem to take the person who was already ready to go.
"Since you know that the deity is a shinobi, then you are ready to die!" The corner of the man's mouth hidden under the mask showed a sinister smile, and his body suddenly turned into a light smoke and shot towards Qu Nameless, and the long knife that had been behind his back was also unsheathed at the same time, slashing through a cold light, and slashed at Qu Nameless from the bottom up......
