Volume 5: The First Song Four Hundred and Forty-Nine: The Thousand Needle Pine Forest (17)
At night, Tang Ping looked sad in the cave where she was hiding.
Outside the cave where they were hiding was a dark night, only a little starlight in the sky, and from time to time there were a few howls of beasts far or near, each of which made Tang Ping's heart more nervous, she was worried about Qian Chao's safety, this was the first time that five people acted separately, Qian Chao was not around, so that Tang Ping's heart was always empty, Yan Xuan saw her like this and comforted a few words, but he could not dispel Tang Ping's worries, and looked at the fire in the cave blankly.
Later, Li Jian also said that maybe this situation will happen in the future, and in the future, after the five people build the foundation and go out, they will probably encounter a similar situation, and the five people will need to act separately, and Tang Ping nodded slowly when he heard this.
At the same time, within the Five Spirits Sect, Feng You also discovered something unusual.
Although Qian Chao had asked Feng You to monitor Zhang Yi and Lou Qingyao's movements before, and he did it, after Qian Chao and the five people returned, Feng You would just say that he had seen Zhang Yi and Lou Qingyao meet in the secluded jungle at night. But Feng You has now been completely aroused by what Qian Chao and others are doing, what he knows is that Qian Chao and the five of them are competing with Lou Qingyao and Shangguan Hong for a Qingluan egg, which seems to be very precious, but intuition tells Feng You that things are probably not so simple, there must be something he doesn't know under the cover of this Qingluan's egg, what makes Feng You most suspicious is Zhang Yi's change, Feng You has vaguely guessed that Qian Chao and others seem to be dealing with Zhang Yi, But in Feng You's eyes, Zhang Yi is uncharacteristically targeting those people in Qian Chao everywhere, why is this? If it was because of Jing Ji's matter, Feng You didn't believe it, there were so many people in the sect, even if others secretly hated Qian Chao because of Jing Ji's fate, but only Zhang Yi was so active, there must be some secret in this that he hadn't seen yet.
Feng You heard that Lou Qingyao, Zong Yan and Feng You quietly prepared to take a look after returning from Zong Wai in a hurry, but what he didn't expect was that he actually saw Zong Fang, Zhang Yi and Lou Qingyao The three of them conspired in Lou Qingyao's room for a long time, from dusk until midnight on the third watch, when it was close to the fourth watch, they saw Zhang Yi and Zong Fang leave.
He just saw Lou Qingyao and Zhang Yi conspiring at night not long ago, and now he sees these three people together, and there is one more Zong Fang, Feng You's idea is that Zong Fang is likely to be involved, but he is not the mastermind of this matter, it is likely that Zong Fang fell into the trap of Lou Qingyao and Zhang Yi, and promised to deal with Qian Chao and those people together.
Feng You naturally couldn't ask directly, but when he looked at the figures of Zong Yan and Zhang Yi leaving in the night, he realized that something unusual might happen soon.
And on the same night, Shangguan Hong also stayed in his master's cave mansion for a long time before coming out.
Qiu Huayu had to be closed for a long time, so he couldn't come out, but Shangguan Hong could go to his cave mansion, and after waiting inside for a long time, Shangguan Hong saw his master, and then told her that she saw Tang Ping and the five people entering the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and then asked Qiu Huayan to help, of course, she didn't need Qiu Huayan to go there in person, just asked Qiu Huayan to let her enter the forbidden land.
Well, Qiu Huayan always has a way, and he had promised Shangguan Hong before to find the Qingluan egg for him, but now that the disciple asked for it, he naturally couldn't refuse, just like that, in the cave, Qiu Huayan not only took out a lot of things for self-defense in the forbidden land, but also told Shangguan Hong about the forbidden places outside one by one.
When Shangguan Hong came out again, there was a slight sneer on her face, and now that she could enter the forbidden land like Tang Ping's others, then she would be qualified to continue to compete with Tang Ping for the Qingluan egg.
Maybe she can even cause a lot of trouble for Tang Ping and those people inside.
Only Qian Chao had a very calm night this night, in the cave where he was hiding, and then the light of a pearl, Qian Chao carefully marked the spiritual veins found in the day on the map one by one, and when it was dawn, he could set off to the center of this thousand-needle pine forest.
……
As the night passed, when the sun had just risen in the morning, Qian Chao came out of the cave where he was hiding and continued on his way.
The itinerary of the second day was similar to yesterday, so I will not repeat it, in short, Qian Chao also gained a lot along the way, until after noon, he finally came to the place where Ah Jiu said that the spiritual spring water was hidden, which was also the center of the entire thousand-needle pine forest.
This is a rare mountain in the thousand-needle pine forest, the mountain is huge, but the mountain is very gentle, overgrown with green pines, the mountain shape is also a high mountain all the way up, Qian Chao saw the terrain here after his heart was very moved, yesterday he has found that a lot of spiritual veins have converged here, there is indeed a possibility of "the land of heavenly might" here.
After finding this mountain, Qian Chao was not in a hurry to find the spiritual spring water, but first began to explore carefully around this mountain, sure enough, there are many spiritual veins from all sides of this mountain converge here, but that's all, Qian Chao searched all the way up and down the mountain for nearly two hours, and found that the spiritual veins here are not intertwined at all into the land of Tianwei, whether it is at the foot of the mountain or the mountainside, or at the top of the mountain, Qian Chao is also worried that he is wrong, and he has repeatedly searched for it several times, and finally he confirmed, This is not the spawning ground of the Qingluan.
In addition, Qian Chao also found a strange point, here on this mountain, the spiritual veins converge, the aura is rich, and the rare spiritual grass on the mountain can be seen almost everywhere, but there is no trace of any demon beasts here, even if Qian Chao picked a few rare spiritual grasses on this mountain, there is no abnormality, not at all like other places in the thousand-needle pine forest, but where there are rare spiritual grasses, there must be demon beasts guarding them, which makes Qian Chao very strange.
If there is no land of heavenly power here, the possibility of other places within this Thousand Needle Pine Forest is not very large, that is to say, in addition to this Thousand Needle Pine Forest, several other forbidden places are likely to enter one by one to find it.
According to Ah Jiu, the spiritual spring water is at the bottom of a natural canyon-like ravine on the south side of this mountain, and that ravine Qian Chao has found in the previous search, and now he is ready to enter it.
Just as Qian Chao's figure floated down from the mountain peak, about to enter the ravine, suddenly from the south of this mountain peak, a sharp and piercing birdsong came from a distance!
Qian Chao's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, even if he was not a spiritual cultivator, but the aura contained in this birdsong was definitely more powerful than those demon beasts he had encountered in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest before, this was ...... No. Snapbird?
The birdsong must have come from a long distance to the south, and the sound came first, and then I saw a gust of wind rolling in from the south, and the pine waves in the distance were undulating like the sea churning and waves, and the pine trees near were swaying back and forth so that they were almost broken, and then, Qian Chao saw a pair of wings like dark clouds coming towards the mountain peak from the southern sky.
Another birdsong, and the wind became faster and stronger!
It must be a bird!
Qian Chao decided that this place was not suitable for a long time, and immediately cast a subtle technique, and then his figure immediately fled from this mountain peak to one side.
Just after the second long cry of the trumpet bird, Qian Chao's figure had already flown out of the mountain peak in a hurry, and a strange roar also came from the north of the mountain peak.
The roar from the north was like the dissatisfied cry of a baby when it was angry, but the sound was very loud, and it came from far away from the north, and it also stirred up bursts of violent pine waves, and the money tide could still hear it, and the voice from the north seemed to be full of unwillingness.
Don't...... Is this the cry of the arrows?
Thinking about it, Qian Chao didn't dare to stay for a moment, and fled out when he launched his body.
The howling of the wings of the big bird in the south became louder and louder, and the harsher and harsher, as a dark cloud came rapidly in the air, with the lodging and shaking of the pine forest below, and even the money tide that fled far away was pulled by the strong wind and almost couldn't stabilize its body in the air, and when he looked again, he saw a big bird like a dark cloud hovering around the mountain peak.
Fortunately, there was a subtle technique, and the guy didn't find the tide of money.
It is a big bird with almost emerald green all over the body, the body length is about three zhang or more, the emerald green wings are stretched out and there are more than ten zhang, if you look closely, there are pieces of red feathers at the tips of its wings, the feathers and tail wings of its whole body are the longest and the most beautiful, and when it flies, it spreads out like a huge green brocade folding fan, and the whole big bird casts a small shadow on the ground when it passes through the air. This strange bird has a colorful crest on its head, and the soft feathers on its huge head are also emerald green, but there are several black stripes along the neck, two big black and shiny eyes, and the most peculiar thing is that the beak of this big bird is not only big and sharp and bent like a hook, but also the beak is bright red, in addition, the two claws of this strange bird are also bright red, unusually sharp!
Before Qian Chao escaped far away, this strange bird flew to this mountain peak, first circled around here a few times, and then flared his wings in the air, Qian Chao, who did not escape far enough, only felt that a strong wind behind him pushed him forward, if he did not stabilize his body, he would have already rolled over, and then the big bird cried in the direction of the baby to the north was a sharp and long roar!
With this long roar, the fierce wind suddenly swept away to the north, flying sand and rocks, and in the chaos, countless tall and lush pine trees were uprooted by the wind and waves, and rolled in the air like withered grass.
At this time, the position of Qian Chao is not far from the strange bird, and it is not close to it, and he immediately suffered, when the big bird chirped, he suddenly felt extremely painful, although the strange bird was in the direction of his side when the strange bird was singing, but he still felt that he was instantly like being pierced by ten thousand arrows, and he couldn't help but cramp and tremble, and when the long song just sounded, he covered his ears with both hands, but he still felt that there were countless steel needles that pierced his hands first and then pierced into his ears and kept poking, and he felt a sharp stinging pain in his ears and then a dizziness in his head, Everything in front of him shook as if it had been cut by countless sharp blades, and then Venus flashed, and the skull was even more uncomfortable as boiling, and the flesh and bones of the whole body trembled as if in this huge wave of sound, and then felt the pain of separation of flesh and blood. Qian Chao desperately bit his lower lip, trying to dilute the intense pain in his mind with another pain, only in this way can he barely maintain his figure, if he can look in the mirror, Qian Chao will be shocked to find that there is blood in the corners of his eyes, two nostrils, the corners of his mouth and the ears covered by his hands.
Qian Chao should be glad that firstly, he was not in the main direction of the strange bird's long song, and secondly, he was far away from that mountain peak after all, Rao was so, and the impact of this birdsong also made Qian Chao uncomfortable to death.
However, at this time, Qian Chao was sure that this big bird must be the one that Ah Jiu said!
