Volume 5: Chu Ming One Hundred and Thirty-Six: Chu Yuan's Obsession
Chu Yuan didn't know how far he had fled all the way, and when he was finally able to stabilize his mind, it was already evening, and even if his body was hanging from a high place, he couldn't see the Pinghai Peak.
The rapid flight along the way, he only felt that his ears were full of whirring wind, and in front of him were full of layers of mountains that were going backwards like waves, and he didn't know how far he flew, and now he finally had almost exhausted the aura in his body, and when he fled all the way, he didn't know if he had thrown off the terrifying demon bird, but at least when he turned back a few times, his back was empty, and it seemed that he was safe, but he was really frightened by the strange demon bird, and he always felt that as long as he turned his head and fled forward, There seemed to be the demon bird behind him, and its strange and hideous face was almost attached to the back of his head, which urged him to continue to fly straight forward.
Until it was far enough away, until he felt a little at ease, of course, Chu Yuan at this time was also exhausted, and it was no longer possible to continue, looking back at this time, the tired birds returned to the forest between the mountains, and the sunset was shining, and the shadow of that monster was no longer seen.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It was funny to say and made Chu Yuan feel sad and annoyed, when he came, there were as many as eighty or ninety people around him, even if there were less than a hundred, and they all obeyed his orders. Now, frightened by the weird and frightened demon birds, so many people scattered all at once, everyone only cared about running for their lives, who would listen to his orders again, I don't know where those guys fled, and when Chu Yuan also calmed down, he was only alone by his side.
In fact, in the final analysis, these people can get together for the sake of building a foundation for themselves, all for themselves to get a sea cucumber jade lamp, and before they get that lamp, they can barely fight with the same enemy and advance and retreat together. But Chu Yuan himself also understands very well in his heart, even if the number of people gathered in this way is double or even more, in fact, it is the easiest to fall apart, and the reason is very simple, that is, everyone is only for themselves.
Now the situation has fulfilled Chu Yuan's idea, and now they have not found the sea cloud jade grease lamp, but they have encountered an extremely powerful demon beast, and the people he led immediately collapsed because they couldn't bear the suffocating fear, including himself.
The stakes and interests, one benefit, one harm, are all things that test people's hearts!
Alas, relying on those guys, it can't be done after all!
The sky is darker, although Chu Yuan is completely separated from his own people, but he has no intention of returning to the sect, he is also very curious about the purpose of Qian Chao's coming out this time, after meeting the human face owl, this curiosity is even stronger, although he was also greatly frightened, but he always felt that the terrifying and powerful demon beast...... He didn't know it was a human-faced owl...... It must have something to do with the money tide, which is so weird that something strange always seems to happen wherever he goes.
He was now more sure that the last time Luo Ying's five people were with Qian Chao, the five people were together, and the nightmare vision clearly revealed the situation at that time, after that time, Luo Ying's five people seemed to have completely lost interest in the ruins, and it seemed that they were only practicing in the sect with peace of mind.
This time he followed the tide of money, although it was impossible to encounter the nightmare again, but that kind of terrifying demon bird suddenly appeared, which made all his people completely collapse at once, making him alone now, this tide of money is so powerful!
But...... So it seems...... Maybe Qian Chao is already alert to himself, even if he doesn't know his purpose, but he and Luo Ying's people have always been fighting each other, and Luo Ying will definitely tell Qian Chao about his own affairs.
Careless!
It was completely dark, and it was pitch black all around, and by the starlight and the waning moon, I could barely make out the outline of the mountains.
Chu Yuan was still reluctant to go back, but he didn't dare to chase after Qian Chao now, so he could only find a place to spend the night first, and then look at the situation tomorrow.
It was easy to survive until dawn, this night Chu Yuan was both frightened and tired, when the red sun poked his head out of the eastern peak, looking at the direction he had fled all the way, Chu Yuan began to hesitate again.
Do you want to go over and see what is going on?
Although the extremely powerful demon beast yesterday did not hurt anyone, it is likely that Qian Chao warned himself that he could stop in moderation and not continue, if he followed him today, would he completely annoy Qian Chao?
If that's the case, will he die outside the sect?
But then again, even if Qian Chao's means are clever, even if he is proficient in formations, but in terms of cultivation alone, he is inferior to himself, the strength of the demon bird yesterday cannot be the spirit bird of him or the people around him, there is no doubt about it, but is the appearance of the powerful demon bird related to him?
Was there some powerful person who was with him at the time?
If so, is that powerful character still by Qian Chao's side now?
When I met that demon beast yesterday, even if I was exposed, if I went again today, if I was discovered by others again, would that person no longer be just a warning this time...... But do you want to solve it directly?
All kinds of contradictory thoughts have been entangled in Chu Yuan's heart, and to put it bluntly, the desire for the sea cloud jade lamp and the fear of the terrible demon bird have been entangled in his heart alternately.
In fact, it is just the desire to build a foundation and the fear of unknown dangers.
At a certain moment, Chu Yuan finally figured this out, and at this moment, Chu Yuan completely persuaded himself.
How many years do you have left?
If a Qi Refining Cultivator can't build a foundation, at most he will have a lifespan of more than 150 years, so how many years do he have left?
More than a hundred years ago, Chu Yuan entered the Five Spirits Sect to practice, and since then he has been in the Five Spirits Sect.
He was born in an inconspicuous small family, although he was given up by the family, that is to say, Chu Yuan was sent to the Five Spirits Sect by his own family, but he was still more concerned about the affairs of the family, so he has been paying special attention to the news from outside the sect, first more than seventy years ago, when his cultivation has been wandering in front of the small five passes, one of his parents was seriously injured and died in a fight with others, and the other fell because he could not form a pill, this news made him sad for a long time;
Then more than forty years ago, when his cultivation stepped into the advanced level of qi refining, he learned that some brothers in his family who were familiar with him had passed away one after another, and this kind of news only made him stunned for a while.
Then it was more than 20 years ago, and he heard that the small family he was born in had been repeatedly hit and had reached a precarious situation. The second is that the strength is not strong and has been bullied by the surrounding families, but Chu Yuan at that time had no feeling for these news, at that time he had already eaten Tsukidan twice, and every time he took Tsukidan he had great hope, but every time he failed to build a foundation It was a heavy blow to him, so he put all his mind on the sea jade lamp, if he couldn't build the foundation, maybe he would fall that day, how could he still care about the affairs of the family?
And then it's now, now even if he wants to know the news of his little family, it's impossible, he seems to have heard about the fate of his family, there is not even a decent monk in the family, then it will only disappear, no way, the cultivation world is so cruel, and the same cruel things are happening to him, if he can't build a foundation, one day he will disappear silently, maybe a few close people will remember his name for a short time, but after a long time, he will be completely forgotten!
This is what makes Chu Yuan deeply afraid, no matter what means he used to take the Tsukidan for the third time, in short, he got it, but he no longer has the courage to take it, he must have the sea cloud jade lamp, otherwise the fate of his family will reappear in his body.
How many years are left before your deadline?
As a member of the Ten-Year Society, Chu Yuan knew that he had less than ten years left...... He didn't dare to count his life anymore because he was afraid, but now he could count the number of lives he had left on one hand.
It's all like this, so what's there to be afraid of?
Leaving now, failing to build a foundation in the future and falling, is a dead end; Now keep up, and be caught by the unknown danger ahead, and it will be a death!
It's just a death on the left and right, and the big deal about my current situation is a dead end, so I'm afraid of a bird!
When he thought of this, Chu Yuan felt that his heart was a lot brighter, and when he looked at the sky, the entanglement and battle in his heart was almost an hour, so he no longer hesitated, and his figure flew in the direction of Pinghai Peak again.
……
Although he persuaded himself, he still had to be cautious when he really did it, and he couldn't lose his life recklessly, so when he flew all the way to Pinghai Peak, Chu Yuan's speed was not fast, and he was always on high alert for the surrounding situation.
Finally, he saw the Ping Haifeng again, and he observed there for a while, but with his eyesight, it was impossible to find out what secrets Ping Haifeng had by looking at it from a distance.
In the end, he had the courage to fly close to Pinghai Peak.
It's safe, and the mountain is quiet.
Qian Chao, those people should leave here, right?
Chu Yuan secretly thought to himself, he really didn't guess wrong.
Just when Chu Yuan was looking for any clues here in Pinghai Peak, Qian Chao and the five people were enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sea by the sea, how did they know that the five of them went to Pinghai Peak yesterday and someone was worried about finding out what clues?
Chu Yuan searched carefully on the Pinghai Peak, he thought that there might be some relics here, and it should be opened by Qian Chao, and he also had a strong feeling that if there were really any relics, it must be extraordinary, otherwise it would be impossible for such a powerful demon bird to drive away his people yesterday, as long as he found the reason why Qian Chao came here, he would have to gather those people together again after he went back, and he would rely on those people in the future, but he would inevitably have to change his approach in the future, and he should find an opportunity. Attack Qian Chao without knowing the price, kidnap him, and then force him to open the ruins, no longer be as timid as dealing with Luo Ying, so he can only be tricked and returned with nothing.
He went up and down the mountain, searching carefully until the sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was approaching, and finally he stopped again.
This mountain, except for feeling that the aura is very good, I didn't find anything unusual.
Chu Yuan is also a person who has more contact with ruins, although he will not open the ruins, but whether it is the ruins that have been opened or the ruins that have not yet been opened, he has seen a lot, and he can see some clues when he asks himself, but after turning around on this screen for a long time, he has not found anything.
What's going on here?
When night fell, he had to find another place to spend the night.
When the sky was bright again, Chu Yuan looked at the Pinghai Peak again, and his interest in this mountain peak was not very great, although he clearly saw that Qian Chao was here that day, although the frightened demon birds were flying up and down around this mountain at that time, it must mean that there is something here, but ...... Due to his eyesight or cultivation, he couldn't find it anyway.
But...... What exactly did Qian Chao find here?
And, what is Qian Chao doing now?
Chu Yuan felt a little disheartened in his heart, he knew that whether he was talented or diligent, he could only be regarded as mediocre in the sect, and the only thing that could rank first among the disciples in the sect was the strong desire for the foundation.
But what's the use of that.
I am not even as good as a little doll who has not been in the sect for ten years!
He is more than 100 years older than Qian Chaoke!
Hum!
If you don't accept it, some things really can't be counted in years!
Since I can't find it, I simply won't look for it, and now it's better to look for the traces of the money tide.
With this thought in mind, Chu Yuan searched aimlessly in this mountain range.
In the afternoon of this day, Chu Yuan was tired and had to give up, ready to return to the sect to reorganize the staff, to get the sea cloud jade lamp, it is not possible to rely on himself alone, there must be helpers, since he is planning to attack the tide of money, then he must find those guys, and then agitate, otherwise it is difficult for those guys to use their strength together.
It was at this time that Chu Yuan suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be staring at him.
Because he had been thinking for a while, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all, so he didn't wake up until he met the man's gaze!
Then he saw a person standing there below, it was on the top of a cliff halfway up the mountainside, a tall young man in a green robe was staring at him coldly, and on the stone cliff next to the young man in the green robe, a black stone door was open.
Chu Yuan's heart beat wildly when he saw it.
First, he recognized who the young man in the green robe was, it was the sword cultivator who was with Qian Chao and Mu Xiufeng's surname was Li!
Second, he recognized the hole in the stone cliff even more...... Such a location, such a secret, this ...... Exactly the entrance to the ruins!
Got it...... The money tide is here!
