Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Thirty: Opponents!
Approaching evening, Qian Chao's five people had already found a hiding place for the night, and then under the afterglow of the sunset, they stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking an inconspicuous hill surrounded by mountains in the south. It seems to be wary of someone who will be there.
And that hill is the famous cold pool.
The first time Qian Chao linked himself to the cold water pool was when he interrogated Dong Cong, who survived, after defeating An Zhen's three people a long time ago.
"Isn't it just a mountain, why did you come up with the name of a pool?" Lu Pingchuan asked after looking at it for a while.
"It is said that the cave under the mountain extends in all directions, complex and abnormal, and it is very easy to get lost in it if you rush into it and don't know the way, and there is an extremely cold pool at the bottom of the cave, hence the name, well, there is a natural leyline fire eye in the cave, and the senior brothers in the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall all think that this cold water pool is the abyss of the evil weapon refining in the sect, and I also heard that there is a group of evil cultivators entrenched there all the year round."
"In that case, then why didn't the sect exterminate this place?" Li Jian asked beside him.
"I tried, but it didn't work."
"Oh, how...... Are all those guys hiding in the cold pool very powerful? Yan Xuan asked.
"Not really, their only advantage is that they know how to hide in the depths of the cavern, and the biggest barrier in the cold pool is ...... There is a chaotic and violent aura that has been gathering for many years. ”
"Chaotic aura?"
"Yes, I heard from the senior brother in the inner hall that the sect's extermination of the cold water pool was presided over by several seniors of the Jiedan, but after chasing into the cave, the deeper you go, the more difficult it became, and all the people were blocked, just because the cold water pool is a rare place of spiritual energy chaos here in our Five Spirits Sect, and several spiritual veins that run underground are entangled with each other there, forming a large vortex of spiritual energy entanglement and tearing, and the predecessors of the Lian Dan can't support it for long, so they can only withdraw. It is precisely for this reason that this cold pool has not been completely wiped out. ”
"Aura Vortex? Does that mean ......" Tang Ping's heart moved when she heard this.
"Don't think about it, Tang girl, the place where the aura is rich and the place where the aura is chaotic are two completely different things, let's put it this way, you can catch big fish in the deep water, but where the water is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging, even if you use a net, you may not be able to catch fish, although I don't understand your spirit control technique, but I think that Qingluan will never spawn in the chaos of the aura."
Tang Ping nodded.
……
At night, five people hid in a cave.
Qian Chao put out his table again, and under the reflection of the light, he carefully looked at the various papers spread out on the table, there were all kinds of maps, and there was the "flowery" picture.
"Estimate," Qian Chao looked at it for a long time before he put his hand on the map, "Gu Yu is in the area given by his predecessors...... Here......"
He nodded with his hand, and waited for the eyes of several people to look at him before continuing:
"This should be the place where the aura is the strongest."
Looking for this place, Qian Chao came to the conclusion based on the "Blossoming Flowers" map obtained from Mr. Zhuang, Qian Chao took the "Blossoming Flowers" map as a map, and the area given by Gu Hou's predecessors, if it was in this painting, there was only a lonely small bud, but I think it should be Mr. Zhuang's intention, the small bud was drawn as if it could bloom immediately as long as it was touched lightly with a fingertip.
Then Qian Chao corresponded the location of the small bud on the map, which can roughly know where the aura gathers in that place.
"If you are not mistaken, there should be a place where several small spiritual veins converge and merge, and one of the locations should be the place where the spiritual energy is the strongest and most pure, and it should be the place selected by Qingluan to lay eggs, this place is called Pinghai Peak, which is a mountain."
"Is that place troublesome to find?" Tang Ping asked.
Money tide says:
"It's a bit of trouble, but it's just trouble, it's just the legs and feet, it's not difficult, but, Tang girl, what I'm worried about is that we look for it all the way, if the Qingluan is still there, will we anger it when we go over, that's the true spirit, and the egg is its heir, even if it hasn't laid eggs yet, the place where it chooses the heir to be born is also the place where it chooses to be born, and when it sees us, it must feel that its heir is threatened, if that's the case, it is estimated that we can't escape if we want to."
"According to my master's calculations, at this time, the Qingluan should have laid eggs, and then leave here, there shouldn't be any danger, otherwise my master wouldn't let me look for it."
Hearing this, Qian Chao nodded.
"Well, that's good, then we'll look for it tomorrow."
……
Also on this night, behind the habitat of several people in Qianchao, somewhere far away and not easy to find.
The sound of fluttering clothes in the night sky came, and a figure fell in the night, although it was dark in all directions, but immediately after the man fell, he turned a few corners among the trees and rocks and touched the entrance to a cave.
"Senior Brother Chu, those five people have found a place to spend the night, not far from the cold pool."
Under the beating light, Chu Yuan's brows tightened when he heard the news.
"I really went to the cold pool, what are they going to do when they go to the cold pool?" Someone in the shadow of the lamp asked suspiciously.
"Could it be that kid is playing with the idea of a cold pool?"
"It's impossible, don't forget that even the Jiedan monks of the Five Spirits Sect can't attack the cold water pool, the five of them are just refining qi and cultivating, and if they want to break into the cold water pool, they are looking for death!"
The argument couldn't come to a conclusion, so they simply shut up, and then looked at Chu Yuan, who was speechless.
This time, Chu Yuan took people to follow carefully all the way, and after suffering a loss, Chu Yuan no longer dared to chase closer, for fear of being ambushed, and for fear of being discovered by the other party. He inquired, and it seemed that the sword cultivator surnamed Li among the five people was a person with strong sensitivity, so he had to follow from afar, and only sent shrewd and careful people to quietly inquire about the news every day.
I also have to say that Chu Yuan's tactics are indeed useful, and in the past few days, Li Jian has also noticed that some people are either coming head-on or passing by, but in Li Jian's opinion, there seems to be nothing suspicious about those people, because those people have never appeared again after passing by, and they seem to have come out to be sent by the Honorable Minister. This is also due to Chu Yuan's caution, if the people he sent out were close to observe, but anyone who was close to those five people would not be sent over again, and he also strictly ordered those people not to do so, just to beware of Li Jian, so Li Jian actually did not find those people behind him for the first time.
Qian Chao's five people walked all the way to the direction of the cold water pool, and the doubts in Chu Yuan's heart, who had been following behind, continued to deepen, along the way, but all the ruins that Chu Yuan knew, he had arranged people in advance to keep an eye on them, but those five people ignored them and passed by directly, which made him even more suspicious, could it be that his guess about Qian Chao was wrong, and these people came out just to do a mission?
But then Chu Yuan found out that something was wrong, even if he was on a mission, few people went in the direction of the cold water pool, after all, there were evil cultivators there, and ordinary disciples rarely went there.
So what are these five people for?
"There don't seem to be any ruins in the cold pool, do they?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Well, there's nothing there." Someone next to him answered.
This is the difference between Chu Yuan and even Luo Ying and Qian Chao, the notoriety of the cold water pool has long been there, and the disciples who have practiced in the Five Spirits Sect for many generations have avoided it, so there are naturally fewer relics found there. And whether it is Chu Yuan or Luo Ying, almost all the relics they know are obtained from other people's mouths, and the predecessors don't know what is in the cold pool, so they naturally don't know.
Only Qian Chao was able to deduce the general location of the ruins according to the direction of the spiritual veins, so this time, in addition to helping Tang Ping find the eggs laid by the Qingluan, Qian Chao had previously judged that there were ruins, and they also planned to take a look, if they really found the ruins, the five of them would naturally open them.
"It is impossible for the five of them to go to the cold water pool," Chu Yuan said again, "Even if he is proficient in the formation, after all, he is only a mid-level cultivation of qi refining, and there are some places that can not be broken through by the formation, besides, even if they can break in, there are only five people, is it to find death?" ”
Cold Water Pool, Chu Yuan naturally knows how to enter, he has been in the Five Spirits Sect for a hundred years, and he has not been able to build a foundation for a long time, he has long been a member of the Yu Nian Meeting, and he is a member of the most core Ten Years Society, but it is far away, he can't know why Ten Years will have such a deep connection with the Cold Water Pool, why he has nothing to do with those guys who refine evil weapons in the Cold Water Pool, what he knows is that if the people of the Ten Years Association really have no way out in the end, because they can't build a foundation and their yang life is exhausted, someone really does evil cultivation with a horizontal heart.
Chu Yuan never wanted to end up like that.
"Continue to keep an eye on it tomorrow, maybe it's really our mistake, Qian Chao and those people just came out to find something, and it has nothing to do with the ruins. However, it may also be that the kid surnamed Qian is tempting, in short, we have to keep an eye on it, even if we don't find anything this time, maybe next time we are paralyzed, we will fall for them. ”
……
After the sun rose, Qian Chao and the five of them continued to hurry, they carefully bypassed the cold pool, where it was rumored that there were evil cultivators, and the five of them didn't want to get into any trouble needlessly.
Near noon, they saw the place they wanted to go.
The place found out by Qian Chao is "Pinghai Peak", which is the highest peak in the south of Wuling Sect adjacent to the sea, after passing Pinghai Peak, and then all the way to the sea, there is still a not close road, but although there are undulating mountains along the way, they are all low and gentle.
"It's supposed to be there." Qian Chao pointed to Ping Haifeng and said.
"Eh, Brother Qian said that after the mountain, it is not too far from the seaside, should we go back all the way to the beach to see, hehe, I have grown so big, I haven't seen what the sea looks like." Lu Pingchuan said.
In fact, not only Lu Pingchuan, Li Jian, and Qian Chao have never seen the endless sea.
"Well, let's take a good look here first, and then turn around and go all the way south to the sea." Tang Ping said.
Next, when they flew towards Pinghaifeng, the five people were cautious, they didn't dare to fly high, let alone fly fast, they were all worried that if that Qingluan was really there in Pinghaifeng, seeing the five people breaking in, they would inevitably suspect the intentions of the five of them, it was a true spirit-level existence, which angered it, and the five people of Qian Chao didn't even have a chance to escape.
This place is really like the judgment of the money tide, it is a place where the spiritual veins gather, and the closer they get, the more the spiritual energy will become stronger, so that the five people will be more and more useful.
However, maybe it was really as Gu Shou's predecessor said, that Qingluan had indeed laid eggs, and then left here, the five of them slowly flew all the way to the foot of Pinghai Peak, and they didn't see anything abnormal here, among which Li Jian's spirit was the most nervous, once he noticed that something was wrong, he would immediately warn, but when he reached the foot of the mountain, he still couldn't detect any sense of coercion of the powerful breath, so it seemed that it was safe here.
However, just when the five people just landed at the foot of the mountain, Li Jian's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said nervously:
"Someone ......"
At the foot of this mountain, Li Jian noticed the fluctuation of a spiritual energy pressure from far and near......
Before everyone could see clearly, a voice came from the distance in the air.
"Senior Sister Tang, it's really surprising!"
It was a woman's voice, and the five of them followed the prestige only to find that two figures were flying in the distance.
It was actually Shangguan Hong and her sister Shangguan Xiu.
Seeing these two people, Tang Ping's heart couldn't help but pound, she understood that the person in front of her was the opponent who was competing with her for that Qingluan!
