Chapter 146: The Dead Earth
After that, Sun Li returned to the cave.
On the first day, nothing happened.
The next day, nothing happened.
On the third day, nothing happened.
It seems that all of a sudden, I am idle, and I don't have to do anything except sleep and eat.
Of course, if you really dig deeper, you can't say that you haven't done anything.
For example, through Nie Xiaoqian, he learned a method called "Breathing Technique" from the old tree demon, which can restrain his volatile demon qi, as long as he is not a person who cultivates much higher than himself, he will not be able to discover his demon body.
For another example, he also learned the remaining six layers of the "Sunflower Treasure Book", and he can be regarded as having the strength to meet the Na Ling Realm.
For example, when he told Nie Xiaoqian a story, he finally finished telling Tang Seng's life experience, about the great sage who was rescued from under Wuzhi Mountain, and about officially starting his journey to the west.
Overall, though, there's really not much to do.
Life is so leisurely, and it's a bit fatal to be leisurely. In the afternoon, Sun Li basked in the soft sunshine of early autumn, and then turned over lazily, thinking that maybe he would have to live like this for decades or centuries.
After all, you are a youkai, and the lifespan of a youkai is extremely long.
Generally speaking, a monster, in the realm of detachment, has a lifespan of five hundred years. When it reached the Naling Realm, it doubled to a thousand years. If you happen to have great luck and are lucky enough to break through the Na Ling Realm and reach the so-called Ming Xuan Realm, then there will be a terrifying three thousand longevity yuan.
And I, now I'm only in my twenties, and I really want to live to death, it's not easy.
It's not easy.
Why don't you go outside and take a look for yourself? An idea suddenly appeared in Sun Li's mind.
I just went to Ping'an County once, and I met three acquaintances, so I felt that the world was very small. And in the final analysis, this is also because the scope of his activities is too small, and he is only active within a hundred miles.
And what about a hundred miles away, outside of Ping'an County, outside of Jiannan County, and outside of Dayue Kingdom?
Sun Li still remembers that Li Qing'er said before that her mother, Princess Jincheng, was married from the distant Tang Dynasty, and the capital of the Tang Dynasty is called Chang'an.
So, is this Chang'an the other Chang'an? Is the so-called Datang the Tang Dynasty in modern history?
Sun Li was very curious and really wanted to go to the so-called Datang to have a look.
It's night.
Sun Li lay on the slightly yellowed grass outside the cave, looking at the starry sky, still thinking about this question. If there is really nothing to do, maybe I can really go to the so-called Datang to have a look, after all, such a long life is not needed, and it is a waste to put it aside.
Then, the footsteps of "Da Da" sounded, and Sun Li saw Nie Xiaoqian walking out of the cave.
"That, senior sister, I have something I want to tell you. Sun Li got up and spoke, feeling that it was still necessary to tell Nie Xiaoqian his thoughts, although it may not be implemented immediately and leave immediately, but it is also good to let the other party have a psychological preparation.
What Sun Li didn't expect was that at the same time as he spoke, Nie Xiaoqian also spoke, and said seriously, "I also have something to tell you." ”
"First come, first served?"
"No, I'll say it first, you say it later. Nie Xiaoqian was not humble at all.
"Okay, you say it first. Sun Li was a little helpless.
"Hmm. Nie Xiaoqian spoke, "Grandma said, the vitality around here seems to have changed a little recently, and it has become very thin, as if there is something strange in the north. ”
"So?"
"So, grandma mean, let you and me take a look. After all, Grandma's body is very weak now, and she needs a lot of vitality to recover her body, and if her vitality is thin here, it will be greatly delayed for a long time. And it's not easy to find another place with a lot of vitality, and besides, grandma's body can't stand to move again. So, tomorrow morning you're going to have a look with me and find a way to solve this problem of vitality change. By the way, what do you want to say?"
"Oh......" Sun Li was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said very seriously, "I have nothing to do." ”
There is something to do and nothing to do, and the plan to go to Datang is better to wait until this vitality problem is dealt with first, Sun Li sighed in his heart.
"That's good, it's okay if there's nothing to do. Tomorrow morning, set off on the fifth watch, don't sleep. Nie Xiaoqian reminded seriously.
"Good. Sun Li nodded, and then lay down in place, looking at the stars and not speaking.
Then, five watch days.
Sun Li withdrew from his cultivation, stood up, glanced at the gloomy sky in the east, and then at Nie Xiaoqian, who had been waiting at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh, "Fifth watch, it's a little early, senior sister?"
The time is indeed very early, and the fifth watch is only about four o'clock in the morning when converted into modern time, and the sun has not yet come out.
But Nie Xiaoqian said seriously, "You promised it yourself." ”
"Well, it's all my fault. Sun Li sighed, then put the weapon on his back, followed Nie Xiaoqian's steps, and walked towards the north.
One hour, two hours, three hours......
The sun came out, the sun rose, but Sun Li and Nie Xiaoqian's faces slowly changed.
Because I saw that in this large area on the north side of the cave, the environment suddenly became very bad, the ground was cracked, the vegetation was barren, and it was decadent.
And the further north, the more serious the situation becomes, and in the end, the soil on the ground has begun to sand, the rocks have begun to weather, and a casual pinch is a hand of powder, and it seems that this piece has a tendency to evolve into a desert.
This is a mountain!
Sun Li's expression was solemn, looking at this strange scene, he was silent.
But Nie Xiaoqian's eyes flickered a few times, and she said, "It seems to be caused by absorbing a large amount of vitality." ”
"Caused by absorbing vitality?"
"That's right. Nie Xiaoqian nodded, "Didn't I tell you before, there is a kind of high-grade vitality called earth spirit qi, which is hidden deep in the earth and is very nourishing to the human body, but once it is absorbed too much, it will affect the growth of plants in a place, and in serious cases, it will even cause a place to have no grass for decades."
It seems that Grandma guessed correctly, there is indeed something strange in this north. Not only does it absorb a large amount of all kinds of vitality in the air, but it also does not let go of the vitality in this land. If this continues, I am afraid that this radius of dozens of miles will become a dead land. ”
With a "poof", Sun Li plunged the long sword into the ground, then pulled it out, looked at the layer of dry soil on the tip of the sword, and frowned, "It's not that it is going to become a dead land, but this is already a dead land." ”
"What should I do then?" asked Nie Xiaoqian.
"I have to look it up first, after all, there is too little information to be had. ”
"Okay. Nie Xiaoqian nodded, started to the northwest, and said, "Then let's explore separately, and then go back to the cave before dark?"
"Well, that's all there is to it. Sun Li sighed and said, and walked towards the northeast.
And as he slowly deepened, Sun Li's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, because Sun Li found that the degree of harshness of the environment was rising in a straight line, and the place of death had become a Jedi.
Not to mention ordinary plants here, even the wood spirit grass spirit can't stand it, and the vitality is even thinner. At the same time, a faint eerie atmosphere was born, which made people feel creepy, as if they were in a mass grave.
Of course, this is not a mass grave, and there are no dead people, and the reason why there is such an atmosphere is entirely because it is the land here that is dead.
Yes, the earth here is dead!
Stepping on the dead earth, Sun Li took hundreds of steps again, and then suddenly a whistling sound sounded.
Sun Li quickly turned around, and saw a head-sized bluestone flying past him, landing on the ground in the distance, and smashing out a deep pit.
Sun Li raised his eyebrows slightly, quickly turned his head, looked forward, and saw a person appear in front of him.
And the look of this one, and the way it dresses are extremely weird.

A long time ago, I owed a chapter, I don't know if anyone remembers? Forget it, whether anyone remembers it or not, it's this chapter anyway, you can look at it.
