Chapter 199: The Lost Country (1)
The moon is bright, sprinkled like frost.
The cold wind is howling, and the sea is vast.
Above the vast deep black sea, a brilliant light of five colors flowed through the air, like a meteor across the sky, falling towards an unknown distance.
This is a relatively remote area.
Although there are desolate islands, like scattered stars, reflecting the moonlight like frost below, the aura of heaven and earth around them is too thin to attract monks to live there.
If there is no island inhabited by monks, there will be no ordinary people living here, and in terms of the environment of most of the Hanhai area, in fact, Hanhai is not suitable for ordinary people to live.
Mo said that it was a huge strange fish that could occasionally be seen in the seawater, and the dense sharp teeth that flashed in the cold light under the moonlight, the temperature in this sea area was also outrageously low.
Although the sea below is turbulent, a small amount of ice ballast can be faintly seen due to the low temperature, and even if the ordinary strong man is wrapped in a thick quilt, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive for long on any island in this cold sea.
Boom!
The five-colored light fell on a large island in this cold sea, crushing a little gravel, and then the five-colored streamer collapsed inward, suddenly condensing into a black-robed figure.
The warm white qi rose above the body of the black-robed man, and on the young and handsome face of the black-robed figure, a pair of sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and his indifferent gaze quickly scanned the surroundings.
"Donghui Island ......"
Gu Qing was a little puzzled.
After he left Qingshu Island earlier, he returned all the way back to the boundary of Qingxia Island, and then took out the map of the sea area, took Sifang Island as the core, confirmed the location of Donghui Island, and hurried over.
Although there are many islands on the Hanhai Sea, it is normal to have the same name, but the Donghui Island that Mu Kui said at the beginning, it stands to reason that it should be the closest Donghui Island to Sifang Island, right?
But here, it's really inaccessible.
Everywhere Gu Qing looked, there was no trace of any monks, so his mind moved, and his divine sense spread out in all directions, covering a radius of more than twenty miles, and quickly retracted, and found nothing.
Gu Qing waved his hand to disperse the steaming heat coming out of his body, blocked the pores around his body, and took out the map of the sea area and looked for it on it.
After a moment, he put down the map of the sea area.
"This should be the place."
Gu Qing was sure in his heart.
The monk who called Mu Kui, the person who traveled with Mu Kui, should just not have arrived, Gu Qing first took out the messenger given by Mu Kui before, contacted this person, and saw that this person did not respond for a while, he turned his hand and put away the messenger.
Afterwards, Gu Qing found a vacant space on this island, cleaned it up a little, placed the futon on it, and then took out a medium-grade spirit stone, held it in his hand, ran the exercises, and breathed.
The five-colored aura flowed above Gu Qing's body, his face was ruddy, and his aura also became extremely long as he entered the cultivation.
However, after all, he was in such an environment, Gu Qing naturally did not devote himself to cultivation, and he also kept his mind focused on the situation around him, capturing any subtle changes.
There was nothing unusual around.
After half an hour, Gu Qing felt something, slowed down the speed of running the exercises, the five-colored halo around his body shrank slightly, and he took out a gray communication talisman from the storage bag.
On the teleporter, a dull gray light flickered.
In the deep darkness of the night, it is very obvious.
Gu Qing's divine sense probed into this transmission talisman, and the sound of Na Mu Kui sounded in his ears, the transmission was short, but he said that he would rush to Donghui Island at dawn, bothering Gu Qing to wait for a while, and also informed Gu Qing that there were five people traveling with them this time.
And these five people are already on the road, and they may come at any time.
As soon as Gu Qing put away the communication talisman, he raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, where there was an imperceptible aura, which was rapidly approaching, but there was no light in sight, most likely deliberately covering up.
In just half a breath, this breath spanned a hundred and ten miles
, like a ghost without a physical body, landed more than ten zhang away from Gu Qing, revealing a bloated figure.
The most conspicuous figure of this figure was a black and red, rust-mottled armor, and under the armor, there was a gray robe that wrapped its whole body, and even the upper part of this person's head was wrapped in gray strips of cloth, revealing only half of his cheeks.
Half of this person's exposed cheeks, the skin and flesh are delicate and fair, the small mouth and nose look very delicate, combined with the slight bulge on this person's chest, this person should be a female cultivator, and her cultivation is a breath that rises and falls, and for a while the foundation is threefold, and the foundation is twofold for a while.
The five-colored aura on Gu Qing's body still flowed as before.
As this armored female cultivator pressed the light on the island, Gu Qing only glanced at it roughly, then withdrew his gaze, continued to close his eyes and breathe, and did not try to talk to this armored female cultivator.
The armored nun obviously noticed Gu Qing's actions, she slowly retreated a few steps, came to a position thirty or forty zhang away from Gu Qing, and also found an open space, took out the futon, and sat up.
Although Gu Qing continued to close his eyes and breathe.
But the depth of pranayama is naturally not as good as before.
He divided most of his mind to pay attention to the changes in the outside world, and after realizing that this newly arrived armored nun was the same as himself, he finally relaxed his attention to this armored nun after sitting down and breathing.
It seems that this woman is one of several people in the group.
'Cultivation is a bit weird......
And the armor should be something extraordinary.
Gu Qing thought so.
Immediately, while maintaining a state of shallow cultivation, he recalled some important contents recorded in the book "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Hanhai Cultivation True Realm" that he had read on the road before.
Previously, after Gu Qing flipped through the book "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm" on the road, he had a deep memory of some of them.
First of all.
The biggest difference between the Hanhai Cultivation Realm and the Yunmiao Continent Cultivation Realm is that the two have taken very different approaches to the treatment of demon beasts.
In the cultivation realm of the Yunmiao Continent, the general attitude towards demon beasts has always been that if they can be killed, they will be killed, and if they can't be killed, they will be raised in captivity and tamed as a demon pet, or a source of spiritual flesh.
And the Hanhai Cultivation Realm, the attitude towards demon beasts is very different, and the demon clan after opening the spiritual wisdom is often called 'Demon Cultivation', Gu Qing also read this book "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm", only then did he know the title of demon cultivation, and the source was in Hanhai.
Even in the entire Hanhai Cultivation Realm, there are six major schools of cultivation, two of which belong to the Demon Clan, and the Human Race has four schools of cultivation, these four schools of cultivation are the Qiong Ling Na Qi Miao Fa One Vein, the Mixed Yuan Qi Gathering Miaofa One Vein, the Qianyang Nine Qi Miaofa One Vein, and the Tai Void Infinite Miaofa One Vein, each of which has several large forces, and a number of medium-sized forces, and thousands of small forces.
At present, the Linyu Sea area where he is located belongs to the Qiong Lingna Qi Miaofa lineage, but there are no large forces in this Linyu Sea Area, but there are three medium-sized forces, and among the three medium-sized forces, the strongest is naturally the power of Zuo Linyu, and one side is called Linyuan Pavilion.
The second is the alliance of the monk families in the Linyu Sea area, among the three medium-sized forces, this force has the widest scope of control and the most monks, but it is also the most loose, which can be described as a plate of scattered sand.
Finally, there is a force called the Star and Moon Palace.
Due to the fact that in "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm", the scope of the record is too much, and the Linyu Sea Area is only a passing touch, Gu Qing only knows that the Linyu Hanhai has three strong forces, and he basically has no understanding of the details of these three forces.
I don't know what small forces there are in the Linyu Sea area.
'I don't know, which force does Changming Island belong to? As for the Scattered Cultivation Alliance in the Linyu Sea Area...... Anyway, it's a small force, right? When Gu Qing saw this, he thought so.
In addition to the attitude towards the demon clan, which is very different from the cultivation realm of the Yunmiao Continent, the Hanhai Cultivation Realm divides and weighs the attainments of the cultivation of the hundred arts
It is also a little different from the cultivation realm of the Yunmiao Continent.
Such as.
In addition, the so-called 'runes' in the Yunmiao Continent's cultivation realm only refers to the method of making spirit runes, while the 'runes' of the Hanhai Cultivation Realm refer to the methods of making runes and spells.
The runes of the Hanhai Cultivation Realm were divided into 'talismans and' spells, which really surprised Gu Qing a little.
He had been making talismans for many years, and as a talisman master, he had never heard of a 'spell', so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious of the 'spell' contained in that book, but he was not surprised that the Hanhai Cultivation Realm called the spirit talisman 'talisman'.
The previous Dingzhong world, the cultivation realm over there, also called the spirit rune 'talisman, the one who urned, the spiritual machine of heaven and earth, condensed it on paper, so it was reasonable to call it a talisman.
And except for the difference in symbols.
The Hanhai Cultivation Realm's attainments of the monks in the cultivation of the truth, as well as all kinds of spiritual materials and spiritual objects, are uniformly divided into 'product' levels.
Above the 'product' level, it is divided into nine grades and four levels, Dan masters, talisman masters, refiners, array masters, etc. are all divided into nine grades, and all kinds of spiritual objects and spiritual materials are also divided into nine grades, and then subdivided into lower ranks, intermediate ranks, upper ranks, and top ranks.
For this division, Gu Qing was also not surprised.
It's normal to be different.
The world in the Phantom Thunder Ding will also divide the monks' attainments in the cultivation of the true arts, and all kinds of spiritual objects and spiritual materials, and divide them into heaven and earth Xuanhuang, the world is vast, the universe is boundless, there are many monks, and there are many amazing and glamorous people, these things are different in terms of titles due to different regions, and there is no surprise about it.
Gu Qing retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look to the side.
A little red like a fiery luster, reflected in Gu Qing's clear black and white eyes, the next moment, turned into a crimson brilliance.
This crimson light was drawn into a thin line in the night sky, drawing an arc from a distance, and galloping towards the direction of Donghui Island, and as it approached Donghui Island, its light became more and more brilliant.
In the blink of an eye, the crimson brilliance came to the front, the bright light reflected the nearby sea area in red, and a huge breath came with this red brilliance, with the whistling hot wind, blowing the sand and rocks on Donghui Island, and the forest sea was undulating.
The area of Donghui Island is not small, a dense forest rises from the ground, a dark green in the night, but at this time it is turned into a red color, rising and falling under the strong wind, it is like a sea of fire.
"Hahaha...... The two Daoists came early!"
"Why, hasn't that old man arrived yet?" The crimson brilliance fell on Donghui Island, not far from Gu Qing and the strangely dressed female cultivator, revealing a figure.
This figure was dressed in a red robe, standing barefoot, full of red hair and beard, with a tall body, extremely wide shoulders, and also red eyes, first looking at the strangely dressed female cultivator, and then landing on Gu Qing's body, with a heroic smile on his face.
Its cultivation is the breath, and it is in the threefold perfection of the foundation.
"Before you arrive, you can wait for a while." Gu Qing responded expressionlessly, and then closed his eyes.
The tall male cultivator with red beard and red hair scratched his head.
He smiled freely, restrained the aura around him, chose a position closer to the black-robed male cultivator who had just spoken out to respond to him, and also found an open space, took out the black futon, and sat cross-legged.
On the second day, the morning dawn had just appeared.
There are already five figures on the island.
In addition to the tall male cultivator with red beard and red hair, and the bloated female cultivator who was dressed strangely, and Gu Qing, who was dressed in a black robe and looked like a handsome young man, there were two more foundation building monks in the second half of the night yesterday.
One of them cultivated as a three-fold aura in the foundation building, bald head and bowl, figure and appearance
It's nothing outstanding, it's just that the bloody aura all over his body and the compassion on his face make people look at it really awkwardly.
The other person is a child, more than three feet tall, dressed in luxurious robes, carved in pink and jade, looking very cute, but the vicissitudes of life in the eyes show that he is not a real child.
It is worth mentioning that this boy has no aura of cultivation, even Gu Qing has looked at this person several times, and he has not seen any clues, but everyone knows that this boy is definitely not a mortal.
If this boy was just a mortal, how could he have flown here and waited on the island in thin clothes until now?
The five people on the island, no one talked, but they were separated by some distance, sitting on the shore of Donghui Island, waiting silently.
And this wait has come to an end.
The sky in the distance was getting brighter and brighter, and the sun was about to rise, and at the same time, all five people on the island got up and looked at the canopy of the rising sun from a distance, where there were two black dots, rapidly approaching.
As these two black dots came to Donghui Island, Gu Qing saw Mu Kui, who looked like a sloppy old man, and a green skirt nun who was born and charming, but her face was like frost, and she wore a jade crown.
"Fellow Daoists, you've been waiting for a long time."
Mu Kui pressed the light and hugged his fist apologetically to Gu Qing and the other cultivators on the island, and then introduced the female cultivator in the green skirt to the cultivators: "This Cheng Su Daoist of Shuixiao Palace is proficient in the way of divination, this time the old man specially invited Cheng Daoyou to help with the fist, and it is expected that you will not be allowed to return empty-handed."
The charming green skirt nun also fell away on the island, revealing the triple aura of building the foundation, and when she heard Mu Kui's words, the chill on her face eased slightly, and she bowed lightly to the cultivators.
Gu Qing chuckled and nodded back, among the other monks, only the bloated nun also nodded back, and the rest of them either turned a blind eye to the nundo in the green skirt, or looked the nun in the green skirt unscrupulously up and down.
As a result, the freshly thawed face of the nunten in the green skirt became cold again, and it was ten times colder than before.
Mu Kui, who looked like a sloppy old man, still smiled, and briefly introduced the monks in the field one by one.
The cultivator is a bloated female cultivator whose breath is unstable and rises and falls in the second and third layers of the foundation, named Zhou Rong.
The tall male cultivator with red beard and red hair and cultivation breath in the triple perfection of the foundation building is called Zhao Bei, the three-fold bald monk who is covered in blood is called Sun Han, and the monk who looks like a boy and has no cultivation breath is called Wu Ju.
From Mu Kui's mouth, these four people are all loose cultivators.
Gu Qing, who Mu Kui introduced to everyone, is also a casual cultivator.
So on the bright side of the field, only Cheng Su, a monk who was not from a casual cultivation background, was left, so everyone looked at Cheng Su's gaze, and they all had a little more playfulness, and Cheng Su seemed to be unaware of this.
After a brief introduction, Mu Kui led everyone out of Donghui Island and flew away in the deep blue waters.
"Several, this is the information that the old man knows." Mu Kui's speed of flying away was not fast, and he calmly turned around in mid-air, and threw a few black stones to Gu Qing and the others.
This black stone is slippery and greasy, like the size of a spirit stone, it should be a shadow stone, there is no doubt that this thing has a wide circulation in the Hanhai cultivation realm, and it is used to record various picture information, which is very convenient.
Gu Qing took the Shadow Stone, and did not immediately probe his Divine Sense into it, but waited for two breaths, and saw that most of the other monks had already begun to check the Shadow Stone, so he probed his Divine Sense into it.
In the shadow stone, there are many sporadic pictures of the capital, most of which are ordinary old men with dull faces, telling the sporadic legends of that country in the old voice.
There were also Qi Refining Cultivators with panicked faces, facing the person who took out the Shadow Stone, and they also chattered about the sporadic deeds of that country.
Gu Qing noticed.
In this shadow stone, there are thousands of pictures recorded, and the ordinary people and qi refining cultivators have roughly outlined that country through legends and deeds, but ......
There is no mention of the name of that country!
If you say, that
The name of the kingdom is a taboo, so no one dares to mention it, and it is barely reasonable, but it is not very reasonable after all.
Not only did Patron Qing make such a discovery, but the rest of the people were naturally aware of the matter and looked at Mu Kui one after another.
Zhao Bei's brows furrowed, the crimson light around his body dimmed slightly, he looked at Mu Kui fiercely, and asked, "Mu Daoyou, this is just a mortal country, can it still become a taboo?"
The eyes of the cultivators were focused on Mu Kui's old face.
Mu Kui's wrinkled old face showed a little wry smile and said, "Fellow Daoists, when the old man knew about this, he was not very convinced, so he went down to the bottom of the sea alone and found the location of that country, but it was just ......."
When Mu Kui said this, his face was full of solemnity.
The cultivators also realized that Mu Kui was about to say something important.
"Just what?"
Cheng Su asked.
Her voice was clear and beautiful, as if it had a calming power, and while she spoke, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Mu Kui.
Gu Qing also pricked up his ears curiously.
As for the country that once existed, it might be extraordinary, Gu Qing was mentally prepared after knowing the purpose of Lin Yan, the elder disciple of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, so he didn't wonder too much why those people in the Shadow Stone didn't mention the name of that country.
However, when he heard that Mu Kui had found that country and returned in vain, Gu Qing still felt a little curious.
"It's just that when you arrive in that lost country, Mu Kui Daoyou will spin around like a fly without a head, but right?" Wu Ju, a monk who looked like a child, suddenly opened his mouth at this time, and Gu Qing's heart moved, and he looked over.
Wu Ju's opening naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Mu Kui's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Wu Ju, his solemn expression did not change at all, and said, "It is indeed as Wu Daoyou said, that country ...... Let's call it the Lost Country, which has been affected by a strange force, and has left the present world, stuck in the spatial rift of the present world."
"But it is not a small world of its own, after all, it is just a mortal country, if it really fell into the void, it would have been crushed into nothingness long ago."
"Why are you so sure?" When Gu Qing heard this, the chuckle on his face remained the same, and he asked.
Mu Kui smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Heavenly Machine Valley."
He just said these three words, and the other monks' expressions changed one after another, and then their eyes became fiery at the same time.
Gu Qing was a little confused.
But for Tianji Valley, he had also heard of it.
The golden compass that made him get the Five Elements Basic Prohibition and was familiar with the principles of the Five Elements Formation was refined by a Yuanying predecessor of Tianji Valley, and he was also impressed by Tianji Valley, in short, this is an extremely powerful force.
Previously, Gu Qing thought that Tianji Valley was a force in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm, after all, there was no large-scale force in the Yunmiao Continent that called Tianji Valley, but at this time, he had already studied the book "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm", and knew that there was no such force as Tianji Valley in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm! Yes, it is difficult for Tianji Valley to be successful...... Is it an extraterritorial power?
Although he didn't know what kind of force Tianji Valley was, this did not prevent Gu Qing from learning from others, and his eyes became eager, staring at Mu Kui.
"Since it is the master of the Heavenly Machine Valley, it seems that this Lost Country is really stuck in the spatial rift between the present world and the void! It's just that I don't know what kind of power can do this......" The frost on Cheng Su's face disappeared, and his beautiful eyes lit up.
That Wu Ju also nodded a little pink carved jade head, and said seriously: "The divination technique of the monk of Tianji Valley is naturally not false, so it seems that if this trip can enter the lost country, combined with those sixteen-character proverbs, it is impossible to say, and it can really reap some extraordinary benefits."
The rest of the people also expressed their opinions, Gu Qing took the opportunity to echo a sentence, and then the cultivators returned a few shadow stones to Mu Kui.
"The old man knows so much about the situation in the lost country." Mu Kui slowly put away a few shadow stones.
At this time, Zhao Bei's red hair was flying, and he already knew the general location of the Lost Country, and he couldn't wait at this time
And the appearance turned into a red streamer suddenly accelerated, surpassing Mu Kui.
A few more people sped up their speeds, leaving Mu Kui behind, and soon, only Gu Qing and Cheng Su were left with Mu Kui.
Mu Kui turned his head and looked at Gu Qing meaningfully.
"Mu Daoyou, Zhao Bei Daoyou, they are almost gone, I'll wait soon!" Gu Qing also looked at Mu Kui, showing an impatient look, and urged Mu Kui.
Mu Kui stroked his beard when he heard this, and said, "Gu Daoyou, Cheng Daoyou, since the few Daoists in front of you are so anxious, Mu Mou can't let them wait for a long time, haha! Mu is going to go!"
The blue light on Mu Kui's body was flourishing, and he flew away.
Cheng Su did not hesitate and followed.
Gu Qing squinted his eyes, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and the five-colored brilliance around him was blazing, and he also followed behind Mu Kui.
