Chapter 129: The Sleeping Ancient Beast
Early the next morning.
Chen Shaoan and the others came to the barracks of the government army.
It is said to be a military camp, but it is actually a military city, and there are not only hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate, but also soldiers patrolling the city walls.
"Brother Shao'an, this way, this way!"
When Chen Shaoan arrived at the city gate, he heard a happy voice coming from the city.
Looking up, it turned out to be Zhang Sanmad.
The sergeant at the door should know Chen Shaoan and others, or Yan Hongjiang has already explained and entered unhindered.
"Three mad brothers, why are you here?"
Chen Shaoan stepped forward to say hello, and then asked a little strangely.
At this moment, Zhang Sanmad and his previous sloppy appearance are like two people, with his hair tied up and his robe, just like an elegant scholar.
The loose beard is also trimmed, and the whole person looks full of energy.
"Wherever you go, I'll go." Zhang Sanmad said proudly with a bit of spring breeze.
Then he walked to Chen Shao'an's side and whispered, "I have been approved by the Qingzhou Prison Heavenly Mirror, and the state lord specially arranged for me to go to the Jingzhou Daqian Academy to plate... Oh no, study."
"After we finish graduating from the Great Cadre Academy, those debts will be found by the Lord of the State to help me get rid of them."
"Wait and see, the future Qingzhou Si Tian Supervisor will be in the future."
Chen Shao paused for a moment and asked, "Isn't it that Si Tianjian is a inheritance and pays attention to cultivation since childhood, how did he get you here, and it has become an exception."
Zhang Sanmad said with a bit of a sigh, "Then don't you look at who I am."
Chen Shaoan was a little speechless: "Speak human words."
Zhang Sanmad smiled awkwardly, knowing that he couldn't hide this foundation from Chen Shao'an, so he also explained: "In fact, many monks can use the Heavenly Prison Mirror, but the government won't give it, after all, this thing involves the safety of a state."
"I can't do anything here, after all, I owe too many spirit stones."
Chen Shaoan hesitated for a moment and said, "I can help you pay it off."
Once he becomes the supervisor of Si Tian, this also means that Zhang Sanmad's cultivation will disappear completely, and he will only maintain the level of foundation building.
Cultivation is secondary, and the longevity will also be greatly weakened.
When Zhang Sanmad heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, after a moment of silence, he said, "I have some ideas, I don't know if I can do it now, but I have to come into contact with the Heavenly Mirror after all."
"The matter of becoming the supervisor of the Heavenly Prison was not forced to do it by the state lord, but I proposed it myself."
"If I find anything in the future, I'll tell you."
Chen Shaoan immediately understood that this was a secret that Zhang Sanmad had discovered and wanted to verify it with the help of the power of the Heavenly Mirror.
As for what it is, I don't need to mention it.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Brother Shao'an, you are comfortable, you can go to Daqian Academy like this, and you can still bring two beauties with you, you really envy others."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense and depressing, Zhang San immediately opened the topic and said.
When Chen Shaoan heard this, he smiled and said, "There will be something that will make you even more envious at that time."
......
There is a big difference between marching in the army and traveling normally.
Normally, the march of the army is naturally a speed, and whenever there is an order, a specific time will be given.
Relatively nervous.
Especially when it comes to emergency arrangements, it's basically all day and night.
Even if it is said that this time it is because Yan Hongjiang went to Jingzhou to report on his work, he will have more time, but the habit that has been formed a long time ago is difficult to say that it has changed all at once.
The number of people is not very large, and the scale of Yan Hongjiang's departure this time is only 100 people.
Obviously, these hundred people are Yan Hongjiang's cronies, otherwise they would not have had this opportunity to go to Jingzhou.
This is also a better errand, the cost of traveling to Jingzhou
use, all of them are reimbursed, and the key is to see the prosperity of Jingzhou.
In terms of the entire Daqian Dynasty, it is the most prosperous in Jingzhou.
In fact, the size of Jingzhou is much smaller than that of ordinary large states, only about two-thirds of Qingzhou.
However, in this case, nearly one-third of the places in Jingzhou are the size of towns, and one-third of the places are equivalent to gardens.
The other third is a lot of private land.
In other words, there is no concept of the wild in Jingzhou, and it is completely in the hands of the imperial court.
Jingzhou gathers the wealth of the world, and the pinnacle of various industries is displayed in Jingzhou, whether it is for monks or ordinary people, it is an extremely luxurious place.
As long as the monks have money in Jingzhou, they have a separate area to practice, not only is their cultivation not suppressed, but also the aura of the place where they are located is extremely rich, and they should have twice the result with half the effort.
After more than half a month, Chen Shaoan and others accompanied Yan Hongjiang through Lizhou and came to Yuzhou.
After Yuzhou, it will be Jingzhou.
Yuzhou, which is backed by Jingzhou, is logically located in a very advantageous geographical location, and it should be extremely well developed, at least more comfortable than other large states.
In fact, it is the other way around.
Because of its proximity to Gyeongju, a large number of talented people were attracted to Gyeongju, including many monks.
On the contrary, Yuzhou is a little more defeated than Jingzhou.
And Yuzhou is mountainous, all of which are jungle lands, and there are few plains.
The construction of the official road is a little more complicated, and the mountains are continuous, the mineral deposits are abundant, and there are many mining areas here.
In the mine, it is a little more complicated after all.
In addition, Yuzhou demon beasts are well-known, although they are safe with the human race, many people are afraid of it.
"Wow, third brother, fourth brother, look, that mountain can move by itself."
The carriage was galloping on the official road, Chen Shaofeng sat on the roof of the car naughtily and watched the scenery, and when he was looking, he saw that a big mountain next to the big river began to move slowly.
Suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing this, Sima Xue smiled and introduced, "It's called a mountain beast, which is similar to a turtle, but the back shell of the mountain beast is similar in shape to a mountain."
"The mountain beast does not move all year round, and usually only moves once in decades or even hundreds of years."
"There is a saying in the mortal world that if you see the migration of the mountain beasts, it will definitely bring good luck."
When Chen Shaofeng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Is this true, can it really bring us good luck."
Sima Xue said: "It's true, a monk has investigated it before, and then found that the mountain beast is the most sensitive to the earth's vein aura, and likes to squat on the spirit cave the most."
"Every time it migrates, it's because of its own growth, and the spiritual energy in the underground spirit cave is not enough."
"Most of the spiritual energy absorbed by the mountain beast over the years is stored in the back shell, and when it moves, it will emit a large amount of pure spiritual energy, and mortals who are contaminated by the spiritual energy will dissipate the diseases on their bodies and have more sufficient spirits, so there is a saying of good luck."
"Oh, by the way, the spirit cave that the mountain beast left is also a treasure for the monk, and there is a good chance that the spirit crystal will appear there. That's a windfall."
Sima Xue said to herself, but she had no intention of looking for the spirit crystal in the past.
Spirit Crystal is a higher level of monk currency than Spirit Stone, because of its absorbability, one Spirit Crystal is 10,000 Spirit Stones.
The spirit crystal is somewhat similar to the power bank, even if it absorbs the aura inside, it will slowly absorb the surroundings.
Even if it is a spirit crystal without aura, it will not depreciate because of this.
For Chen Shaoan and others, there will naturally be no shortage of spirit crystals, compared to spirit crystals, in fact, spirit stone bills are a little more convenient, after all, they are just a currency.
The little bit of aura of the spirit crystal is not worth it.
When Sima Xue's words survived, Yan Hongjiang in front stretched out one hand, and the entire team suddenly stopped.
Yan Hongjiang, who was riding on a horse, came to Chen Shao'an's side and asked Sima Xue, "What I just said can be regarded as true."
Sima Xue subconsciously said, "I also saw it in the classics, but I have never really seen it."
Hearing this, Yan Hongjiang naturally had a judgment in his heart, so he said, "Delay a little, I want to find that spirit cave, if I find the spirit crystal, I can divide the account fifty-fifty."
Although Yan Hongjiang was asking Sima Xue before, the latter sentence looked at Chen Shaoan and asked.
In the entire team, Zhang Sanmad naturally needless to say, he can be regarded as a person who belongs to the government.
And Chen Shaoan's side is obviously dominated by Chen Shaoan.
Chen Shaoan said with a smile: "I'm naturally not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if I can see the scenery on this boring road, it is naturally excellent."
In fact, even if Yan Hongjiang forcibly wanted to go, Chen Shaoan could not say that he disagreed.
In this regard, Yan Hongjiang is still very principled.
This also made Chen Shaoan feel very relieved.
The main reason why Yan Hongjiang wanted to obtain Chen Shao'an's consent was that if he went to find the spirit cave, he would naturally have to leave the official road.
Leaving the official road means losing the protection of the dynasty, and unexpected situations may occur.
That's why Yan Hongjiang asked Chen Shao'an's opinion so solemnly.
It is in the nature of the human race to take risks.
Seeing that everyone is about to have a different itinerary, the mood has become excited.
To be honest, in the eyes of most people, the wild always makes people have a lot of illusions, perhaps it has something to do with the ban of the government and the teachings of the elders.
The more you say you won't be allowed to go, the more you want to go.
Many of the stories usually take place in the wild.
In fact, with Yan Hongjiang's strength, it is difficult to say that there is any threat to the danger in the wild.
Everyone understands in their hearts that this is to get some money for the government army.
can say five or five accounts, Yan Hongjiang is still very good.
Finding the spirit cave is actually relatively simple, just follow the footsteps of the mountain beast.
At first, everyone didn't think much of it, but after two days and two nights, the situation was completely different.
No one would have thought that the mountain beast would travel such a long distance.
You must know that this way has come, but there are already thousands of miles of land.
Even Yan Hongjiang's brows furrowed.
Although a martial artist like Yan Hongjiang is comparable to a Divine Realm monk in terms of combat power, he does not have the magical power that belongs to a monk.
"I'll go ahead and see what is going on, and if I haven't found anything for five hundred miles, I'll turn back."
Yan Hongjiang said.
A catapult followed, and the figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
The speed of Chen Shaoan and the others slowed down, and without a master like Yan Hongjiang in charge, they naturally had to be much more cautious.
"Xue'er, in the original classics, it was said that this mountain beast usually migrated far."
"We're all about to leave Yuzhou, and if we go any further, it's Binzhou."
The third brother, Chen Shaojie, asked.
This is because there is a specific place of arrival on their customs clearance documents, and entering Binzhou is obviously not on the paperwork.
Sima Xue replied: "The classics only briefly introduce one sentence, and nothing else is said."
The current situation is obviously a bit of a dilemma.
And after a day and night, Yan Hongjiang finally returned.
In the expectant eyes of many sergeants, Yan Hongjiang spoke: "The place has been found, it is near the riverside, and the matter of looking for the spirit crystal is still to be entrusted to you."
The spirit crystal is not just waiting to be picked up on the ground, it is naturally buried in the ground.
You have to dig it up.
It's a lot of work.
You have to find out the location of the spirit crystal first.
this
This is also the reason why the spiritual cave of the mountain beast, even if many monks know about it, will not dig it if they are not on their own territory.
For example, where there are mineral deposits, many of them have been divided by the monks' families or the government.
It's not that whoever wants to dig can dig it.
It's only that the situation here in Yuzhou is more complicated, and there are many wild and ownerless mineral deposits, so Yan Hongjiang will move this thought.
After another two and a half days, everyone arrived at the place where the spirit cave was located.
The peaks here are towering, and if it weren't for the footprints, it wouldn't be easy to find.
Chen Shaoan saw the abnormality at a glance.
Because on the small lake not far ahead, not only was it a miserable green color, but there were also many insects writhing on the surface of the lake.
The big fish in this lake have tentacles on each of them.
Where is this spiritual lake, it is clearly a worm lake.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shaoan only felt his scalp tingle.
In the eyes of others, this spiritual lake is full of spiritual light, and it is obvious that there are good things underneath.
Chen Shao'an couldn't bear to look at this insect lake, and found that in the lake, there were occasional black shadows jumping over, and if you looked closely, it was clear that there were extremely thick tentacles.
According to Chen Shaoan's current understanding of "insects".
The appearance of tentacles is generally only on the body of living beings, that is, parasitism.
"Strange, this spiritual lake should be the place where the mountain beast stayed before, but with such a strong aura, how could the mountain beast migrate."
"The classics say that when the mountain beasts migrate, they will only leave because of the drying up of the spirit cave."
Sima Xue said with some doubts.
"Unless, the beast is not a normal migration, but something has appeared, so it is forced to leave."
"There's danger down the surface of this lake."
Chen Shaoan said seriously.
Yan Hongjiang frowned and said, "I went down in this lake, the silt was very deep, and I didn't notice any danger."
When Yan Hongjiang came alone, he had already searched for it once.
I just didn't find anything.
Although the martial artist has spiritual sense, his sense is very poor, so he will go back and ask Chen Shaoan and others to come over to help.
Chen Shao'an looked at the thick tentacles that he had never seen before and said, "Perhaps, it is sleeping, and it has not been awakened before."
