Volume 2 - The Nine Realms of the Earth (1) Chapter 5 Experiencing the Abyss Forest
Leaving the Lin Family Village, Chu Ran kept moving in the direction of Xia An City, in order to speed up, Chu Ran stepped on the meteor step and moved quickly in the forest, because he could use spiritual power, the speed of Chu Ran's meteor step was several times faster than that of the Blue Star. Because the aura of the Yunqing Realm was too strong, and Chu Ran was already in the True Self Realm, the threshold of Chu Ran's realm was loosened, so Taixuan asked Chu Ran to stay in the abyss forest for a while, and it was not too late to set off after the cultivation realm was improved. Although affected by the defensive barrier, brute beasts cannot break into the abyss forest, but this does not mean that there are no other beasts in the abyss forest, and there are more mysterious beasts, spirit beasts, divine beasts, demon beasts, etc. in the general cultivation world, and there is no shortage of these beasts in the abyss forest, for monks, this is a good place to practice.
During Chu Ran's walking, he found that there were beasts shuttling in the forest, and because he was worried that a brute beast had crossed the barrier by chance, he asked Tai Xuan for advice: "Master, do you say there are any brute beasts here?" If there is, isn't Linjia Village very dangerous? ”
Taixuan's phantom stood in front of Chu Ran and said: "Don't worry, the brute beasts are currently unable to pass through the defensive barrier at the junction of the forest and the desert for the time being, there may be some mysterious beasts and fierce beasts in this forest, but there is a small barrier within a radius of five miles from Linjia Village, forming an enchantment, which should be used to resist the attacks of other beasts in the forest and ensure that the array of Linjia Village is not destroyed." Instead of worrying about others, it's you, grasp the cultivation realm and practice martial arts, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that you are comprehensive even if there is a teacher. Tai Xuan paused, looked around and continued: "I just used my spiritual sense to explore the Abyss Forest, and the presence of fierce beasts with the strength of the Dao Realm here is still extremely dangerous to you. However, some teachers reminded that they should be able to avoid the attacks of these fierce beasts. Moreover, there are some low-level herbs in this abyss forest, which you can also pick to refine pills to assist in the improvement of your cultivation. ”
Chu Ran nodded, and after speaking, the master and apprentice continued to walk in the direction of Xia An City. The Abyssal Forest lives up to its name, the whole forest is full of trees and foliage, and if it weren't for the slightest ray of sunlight shining through the branches to the earth, the whole forest would be shrouded in endless darkness, and when night falls, it will be like an abyss.
As the master and apprentice were walking, Chu Ran suddenly remembered some questions that had been buried in his heart for a long time, so he stopped to ask Taixuan for advice: "Master, the apprentice has two questions I want to ask you, old man, I don't know if to ask!" ”
Hearing this, Tai Xuan was interested, and usually Chu Ran would definitely ask if he had a question, but this time he couldn't decide whether to ask or not, so he replied: "Disciple, if there is something you don't understand, just ask, don't twist and pinch, this is not like your style!" ”
Chu Ran touched his head and said with a dry laugh: "Master, that's the case, when the apprentice lived in Lanxing, he often read online novels, and there are many works that describe the world of cultivation, although the cultivation system is different, but the common point is to store the aura in the human dantian, and now after the real practice, I find that the place where the aura is stored is the sea of knowledge, shouldn't it be more reasonable to be a dantian?" ”
Tai Xuan almost didn't hesitate when he heard this, turned his head and asked Chu Ran with a smile: "Then the teacher asks you, if it is more reasonable to store spiritual energy in the dantian, then when your body is shattered and only the soul is left, will you not be able to use spiritual energy or spiritual power?" ”
Hearing Taixuan's answer, Chu Ran suddenly realized, so he asked the second question: "Master, is the sea space also a storage space or something?" If not, then why can the Xuandao Sword and the Xuanlong Ding be stored in the Zhihai space? ”
In fact, the entire cultivation world couldn't understand where the sea knowledge space came from and what it was used for, so he replied according to what he knew before: "In fact, the sea knowledge space is a very special existence, and it can be understood by the teacher for thousands of years in the cultivation world, but the main role of the knowledge sea space is to store and provide cultivation energy, and as a spiritual item, it can be included in the sea knowledge space, just like the Xuanlong Ding, which has given birth to a machine spirit, so it can be included in the sea knowledge space!" Taixuan found that Chu Ran was about to speak, so he thought of his next question, so he replied: "The Xuandao Sword is also a special existence, and for some reason the teacher can also be included in the sea of knowledge space, maybe there is already a trace of spirituality, but I don't know!" After asking the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time, Chu Ran was greatly satisfied, so the two continued to move in the direction of Xia An City.
Since Chu Ran stepped into the path of cultivation, with the improvement of the realm, his eyesight and hearing have changed greatly, and while he was walking, Chu Ran noticed a trace of abnormality, and listened carefully, a slight rustling sound came from the nearby bushes, the sound was so small that it was almost undetectable. Just as Chu Ran was about to step forward to find out, suddenly a black shadow burst out of the bushes and attacked Chu Ran, without thinking, Chu Ran subconsciously urged the meteor step, and dodged the attack of the black shadow just now.
Chu Ran turned around suddenly, holding the Xuandao Sword in his hand, and was about to stab at the black shadow's foothold, but at the moment of making the move, Chu Ran withdrew his strength, and when he looked at it, a small red beast was staring at him with angry eyes, and a low roar came out of his mouth. Chu Ran rubbed his eyes, but saw that this little beast was very cute, the whole body was fiery red, the north was covered with black barbs, the tail was slender, the tip of the tail seemed to be inlaid with an emerald-like spar and exuded a faint light, the little beast's head was like a mouse but it had long horns on its forehead, and its two eyes were silvery-white, and the ears of the little beast were like dogs, with sharp claws, and the whole was about half a meter long.
"This is the fire flying squirrel, between the existence of the mysterious beast and the spirit beast, this beast has a gentle personality, extremely fast, and is good at using its head and horns to fight the enemy, but the number is very small, in vain, your luck is good, you actually let you run into one." Without waiting for Chu Ran to ask, Taixuan told him the basic information of the little beast.
Chu Ran smiled and said, "Master, are you sure this little guy has a gentle personality?" I see this stance is trying to attack me! ”
Tai Xuan glanced at Chu Ran angrily, and replied: "Under normal circumstances, the fire flying squirrel would not be like this, presumably this is just something that has happened to make it so hostile to you, no, it should be said that it is so hostile to the human race, maybe it is the reason why it has been bullied by other humans." Tai Xuan paused, thought for a moment, and then said: "Apprentice, it just so happens that you can have a fight with this fire flying squirrel, it should be a training, remember not to hurt it, this fire flying squirrel has spirituality, and it is best to be influenced and subdued." ”
Chu Ran was already ready, and when he heard this, he immediately started to act: "Okay, Master, but I may not be able to beat it!" Hearing Chu then's words, Taixuan almost fell to the ground, oh, by the way, Taixuan is in a phantom state and can't fall.
It's like a western cowboy showdown, Chu Ran and the flying squirrel, you stare at me and I stare at you, all waiting for each other's flaws, after a while, the Taixuan melon seeds have finished a pack (here the melon seeds are to describe the time that has passed too long, and there are not really melon seeds to eat), one person and one beast have a move. The "Fire Flying Squirrel" shot towards Chu Ran like an arrow from the string, Chu Ran did not panic when he saw this, stepped on the meteor step, and stabbed at the attack of the Fire Flying Squirrel with the Xuandao Sword in his hand. "Dripping stone wears, a leaf obstructs!" Chu Ran took advantage of the situation to burst out two sword skills, countless flying leaves flew towards the fire flying squirrel, forming a huge shield as if to block its attack, and at the same time, countless water droplets condensed around Chu Ran's body, forming water needles stabbing towards the fire flying squirrel, visually there was really a sense of impact of ten thousand swords returning to the sect.
