Chapter 200: The Lost Country (2)
The red-bearded and red-haired monk Zhao Bei in front, the bald monk Sun Han covered in blood, the extremely bloated female cultivator Zhou Rong, and the boy-like monk Wu Ju soon only had a few tiny points of light left, looming in the golden sunlight of the early morning in the sea area.
Mu Kui, Cheng Su and Gu Qing followed far behind, and the speed of their escape was not unfast, but it was only barely on par with Zhao Bei and the other four who acted first.
Gu Qing's gaze was a little strange.
Just a short distance in front of his side.
Mu Kui was cultivating this time, his old face was suffocating red, the wrinkles on his face were blooming, the cyan aura around his body was circulating wildly, and the aura of the foundation building triple was undisguised, as if he had used all his strength to maintain the current speed.
Gu Qing glanced at Cheng Su with his afterglow, and found that this woman was shrouded in a rich white light, unable to see her face clearly, let alone insight into her current state, and he just glanced at this woman, and in the white light that shrouded this woman, there was a keen gaze, which was projected.
A cold voice sounded in Gu Qing's ears.
"It seems that although Daoyou is cultivating to the realm of building a double foundation, the essence and thickness of his spiritual power are not much compared to Mu Kui Daoyou's three-fold foundation building." Cheng Su's voice was extremely calm, without a single wave.
Gu Qing turned his head when he heard this.
He first stared at Cheng Su for a while, then chuckled, and did not respond to Cheng Su's words, but just handed Cheng Su a meaningful look.
Cheng Su, shrouded in white light, sat cross-legged on the back of an illusory crane, she squinted her eyes at Gu Qing's reaction, her expression flashed a trace of gloom, and quickly removed this gloom.
What is this man implying by this? I had no contact with this person before, and it was because of this reaction that I was not implied with anything...... That's for Mu Kui to see? Does this person have any plans with Mu Kui...... Cheng Su's mind turned.
She turned over and took out twelve jade plaques engraved with complex seal inscriptions, first pinched out the dazzling fingers, and played a different number of spiritual lights towards each of the twelve jade plaques, her eyes were slightly closed, and she began to hexagram, and the twelve jade plaques each hung in the air, and the seal characters on them also changed.
Cheng Su closed his eyes at this time, and his eyes trembled.
A few breaths later.
Cheng Su opened her eyes and put away the twelve jade plates, her eyes were a little obscure, she only calculated the white chaos, and there was no result, in this case, either these two people did not have a secret plan, or these two people had treasures that confused the heavens.
It seems that I think too much...... Cheng Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, she frowned, suddenly realizing something.
'Is this guy surnamed Gu doing it on purpose?' Cheng Su remembered Gu Qing's meaningful eyes, and immediately felt that Fang Cai's actions were really stupid, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Gu Qing felt Cheng Su's female position, projecting a gaze as if she was going to eat people, and she looked unconscious.
He noticed that Mu Kui's speed had slowed.
At this time, he and Cheng Su, followed Mo Mukui had flown out for about 3,000 miles, and the sea below was rolling, and from time to time there were huge waves, slapping on the cold and lonely islands and reefs - the number of large and small islands and reefs in the sea here was incomparable, and it could be said that it was densely packed as far as the eye could see.
These reefs are oddly shaped and coloured, and if you ignore the howling winds and the cold that blows through the wind, the scenery is unique and delightful.
Gu Qing had already seen the four rays of light in front of him, and entered the sea here, he recalled the information revealed in those pictures in the shadow stone that Mu Kui took out, summarized it slightly, and glanced at the arrangement of the surrounding islands and reefs a few times, it was determined, this is the sea area where the Lost Country is located.
In other words, it was the information revealed by Mu Kui, where the Lost Country was, and Gu Qing naturally would not fully trust Mu Kui.
"Cheng Daoyou, Gu Daoyou." Mu Kui's figure stagnated in mid-air, as if due to excessive consumption, his body was a little unstable.
Seeing this, Gu Qing was natural
Showing a look of concern, he went up to help, but Mu Kui waved his hand, rejected his kindness, and then pointed to a relatively flat island and reef.
Mu Kui landed on the island, took out the futon and sat down, smiled at Gu Qing, and continued to speak: "This is the lost country, the sea area where it is located, the two Taoist friends can take the first step, the old man is old and frail, and he is really overconsumed when he flew away before, and he wants to breathe here......
"Although Mu Daoyou is pranayama, the matter of protecting the Dharma will be handed over to Gu, and this Cheng Su Daoyou." Gu Qing said with a straight face, and then he also landed on the flat island and reef.
Seeing this, Mu Kui looked at Gu Qing and narrowed his eyes.
For this person, Mu Kui was a little incomprehensible.
Whether it is this person's cultivation breath, or his words and deeds, there is a vague feeling of weirdness.
"In this case, I will bother Gu Daoyou." Mu Kui said, and turned his eyes to look at Cheng Su, "Cheng Daoyou......
Cheng Su, who had put away the illusory crane mount, the white light around her body disappeared, she glanced at Mu Kui, nodded and said, "Be as Gu Daoyou said."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Su is lotus step moved lightly, stepping into the air step by step, like stepping on a step, landing on the island and reef, not far from Gu Qing, taking out the futon and sitting down.
Mu Kui first glanced at the deep sea water, and there seemed to be a slight discoloration in his eyes, and then he took out a medium-grade spirit stone, as if he was not on guard, and just under the protection of Gu Qing and Cheng Su, he calmly closed his eyes and breathed.
The reef is not big, only a few hundred meters in circumference.
The tide on the reef should have just receded, the sea water on the reef has not yet dried, in the cold wind of the early morning, reflecting the glow of the rising sun, in the small puddle under the reef, you can see scattered sea creatures, the waves from time to time lapping on the reef, agitated to smash.
Gu Qing, shrouded in five-colored spiritual light, gradually disappeared the expression on his face, looking at the dark blue sea below, there was an inexplicable feeling that appeared in the bottom of his heart, after coming to this sea area, in the sea of his dantian qi, the pitch-black sphere turned into the stone tablet space had already trembled.
And the magnitude of the tremor was even higher than when he used to live in the cave mansion he rented in Kurong Fang, Drunken Cloud Xuan.
That is to say......
In the sea below, it should really be as Mu Kui said, there is a lost country, sandwiched in the spatial rift, and the black sphere that caused the stone tablet space to turn into a throbbing thing mostly exists in that lost country!
As for whether it is in the Lost Realm, the declining monk clan, there is a secret realm where the blood washes the spiritual fruit, it is unknown.
Soon, some doubts arose in Gu Qing's heart.
At this time, he was still above the sea.
And according to Mu Kui, the lost country is thousands of feet below the surface of the sea, if such a thing is in the lost country, it is so far apart, why would it cause the pitch-black sphere turned into the space of the stone tablet, causing a throbbing?
There was no clue about this matter, so Gu Qing simply pressed it.
He pondered another question.
Lin Yan, the elder disciple of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, also came to the Jade Sea to find the lost country, and even the information he knew was more detailed than that of Mu Kui, such as the capital of the lost country, where the name of the Yi capital was, there was a Yuan Zhen Temple.
What Lin Yan wants to enter is a secret realm located in this lost country...... Hopefully, the thing that caused the fluctuation of the stele space was not the purpose of this Lin Yan! Otherwise, you have to consider eliminating this person, and then leave the Linyu Sea as soon as possible.
Gu Qing thought expressionlessly.
He'd missed it once and didn't want to miss it a second time.
Mu Kui breathed a little, and a few hours hurried by.
The scorching sun hung high, and the cold of the sea below was briefly dispelled, and Mu Kui put away the dim medium-grade spirit stone in his hand.
"Two, the old man is almost recovered."
Mu Kui's face was ruddy, he let out a long breath, and said to Gu Qing and Cheng Su with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Su and the others responded, looked up at the scorching sun, and stood up.
"The few Daoists in front of them are expected to be in a hurry, of course, maybe any Daoist friends with superb means have entered the lost country." Mu Kui stroked his beard, stepped on the undulating sea, turned around and glanced at Gu Qing and Cheng Su, "The two Taoist friends are willing to protect the Dharma for the old man, and the old man told the two Taoist friends one thing, thinking that he would repay him."
Mu Kui said, smiling with his hand: "At three o'clock in the afternoon of the month of the month, the yang energy is blazing, and the lost country will be briefly revealed from the spatial rift, appearing thousands of feet below the sea surface here, and at this time, the old man is a little sure that he will find the way into it."
Gu Qing thoughtfully raised his eyes to look at the scorching sun, his eyes seemed to have a golden light flashing: "Three quarters of noon, it's only two or three quarters of an hour from this time...... I don't know, when do you plan to leave?"
"Gu Daoyou, don't be anxious." Mu Kui's dry eyelids moved, and his gaze quietly moved to the sea on his right.
He sensed that two wisps of divine consciousness originally existed here, but with the words he had just spoken, these two wisps of divine consciousness were taken back.
What Mu Kui noticed, Gu Qing naturally also noticed, but he didn't know it, and he didn't react because of it.
Cheng Su's gaze fell on the sea that Mu Kui was looking at.
A little thought crossed her eyes.
'I vaguely sensed that I was being spied on by someone before, so it seems that it should be Zhao Bei, Sun Han and others who have not found the lost country, so they will separate their divine consciousness and spy on us.
So, Mu Kui is waiting for these four to come up?
Cheng Su's guess was not wrong or missing.
But only about half an hour.
The four figures broke through the water and scattered, and Zhao Bei, who was red-bearded and red-haired, first glanced at Gu Qing and Cheng Su, and then said to Mu Kui: "Mu Daoyou, the four of us have returned from exploring the road."
"There is something unusual about the sea beneath the surface here, not only the sea is cut off by a circle of invisible barriers, but also the manifestation of dangerous illusions from time to time, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake...... By the way, Sun Han Daoyou caught the breath of other monks in the vicinity."
Zhao Bei said with a solemn face, and then looked at Sun Han, a bald monk covered in blood.
Hearing this, Sun Han glanced at Zhao Bei lightly, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold, which made Zhao Bei's face a little unbearable.
"This aura should be left behind by the monks who have built the foundation of the first realm." Sun Han stretched out his finger forward, and a blood-colored evil qi came out from his fingers, and after a while, this blood-colored evil qi dissipated, and a wisp of familiar aura that Gu Qing felt appeared in front of Sun Han.
The divine consciousness of the seven people in the field condensed towards this aura at the same time.
'Xuanyunzi's breath! Gu Qing made a slight distinction, and he had already determined that this breath came from Xuan Yunzi, it seemed that Xuan Yunzi had already followed that Lin Yan, and he didn't know how to use it to enter the lost country.
It's just that......
He didn't sense Xuan Yunzi nearby!
That wisp of spiritual power was attached to Xuan Yunzi's robe, and Gu Qing could roughly sense the direction of Xuan Yunzi's location within a range of thousands of miles, and at this time, if Xuan Yunzi was in the lost realm thousands of feet below the sea, he would not be able to sense the wisp of spiritual power he left on his robe......
That shows that the fact that the lost country that Mu Kui said exists in the cracks of the spatial rift should not be false.
Gu Qing did not show any abnormality.
The other monks also did not recognize the owner of this breath.
"If you don't pass by, you may have entered the lost country by chance." Mu Kui guessed, "I need to leave quickly."
"Yes."
"Reasonable."
"What Mu Daoyou said, that is, Gu wants to do what he wants!"
Gu Qing and the others echoed continuously.
One by one, their eyes were focused on Mu Kui's body, and all the cultivators knew at this time that if they wanted to enter the lost country, they still had to rely on this Mu Kui, and they would rely on themselves alone
The headless flies were running wild, and at least for a short time, they couldn't enter the lost country.
"After the old man enters the lost country and finds the secret realm, he must first choose three things!" Mu Kui saw that the time was almost up, so he didn't hide it, and directly opened his mouth to put forward the conditions.
When all the cultivators heard this, their expressions changed.
For a while, no one spoke.
Or the bloatedly dressed female cultivator, Zhou Rong spoke, breaking the dead silence: "Mu Kui Daoist, no matter whether we can find that secret realm or not, even if we find that secret realm and enter it safely, the situation is unknown at the moment, and there are only two or three treasures......
Mu Kui nodded when he heard this: "The old man naturally thought of such a situation, if there are only two or three treasures among them, the old man can take one, if there is only one treasure among them, he will fold it into a spirit stone, the old man will take the big head, and the rest will be divided equally, if there is no treasure in it, or the secret realm has not been found, or the secret realm has been found, but you can't enter it, the old man will also give you some supplements."
"In this matter, the old man can make a Taoist vow! If there is half a disobedience, it will cause the old man's Taoist heart to be broken, and his cultivation will be scattered, and he will be turned into dry bones in the grave!"
As soon as Mu Kui's words came out, there seemed to be a thunderbolt falling in the sky, and there was a thunderclap, which seemed to respond to Mu Kui's words.
So, everyone responded.
Mu Kui looked around at the cultivators and said softly:
"So, fellow Daoists, I'll set off later."
Saying that, Mu Kui plunged into the sea water, his body was shrouded in turquoise aura, and he sank into an unknown depth, and the cultivators glanced at each other, and they each went together and followed.
Gu Qing was still waiting at the end.
That Cheng Su looked calm, took out a water-repellent bead, and then glanced at Gu Qing with an unclear look, with a little coldness in her gaze, she sacrificed the water-repellent bead forward, and soon, her figure was shrouded in a layer of water curtain.
The water curtain covered Cheng Su like a thin veil, making Cheng Su's face a little more hazy and soft, and in an instant, Cheng Su slowly entered the water, and also disappeared in front of Gu Qing's eyes at a very fast speed.
Above the sea, only Gu Qing's figure remained.
Gu Qing's eyes, at some point, were already dyed with a faint gold, and he was looking at the void above the sea in the distance.
"Huh." A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Thump!
The golden light in Gu Qing's eyes quickly disappeared, he turned over and entered the water, and the five-colored spiritual light around his body flowed, chasing after a few people below.
The void above the sea that Gu Qing was looking at.
Behind an invisible barrier.
Four figures are hiding here.
"This son seems to have discovered us!"
One of the threefold repairs of the foundation is like an opening.
The other fourfold cultivation of the foundation building loosened his frowning brows and said, "That's true! The pupil technique that this son has cultivated is extraordinary, and he can actually see through the cover of this thing! However, this son is not very close to Mu Kui and the other monks, so he should not easily reveal our existence."
"This little friend should know this person." Among the four figures, the cultivation of the foundation building fivefold cultivation with the strongest breath is the appearance of a silver-haired old woman, looking at a beautiful female cultivator.
This beautiful female cultivator, the cultivation breath is only the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and it seems to have hit the foundation building period, so its aura is slightly different from the ordinary cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
"Yes, this person's name is Gu Qing, and the younger generation has indeed had a relationship with him, but although he has only met once, the younger generation has also determined that this person's cultivation is definitely not a foundation building double ......
The sea is different from the land.
The number and variety of creatures in this place far exceed those on land.
The five-colored aura circulating around Gu Qing's body gradually converged, and his body fell in the sea water so straight and straight, like an extremely heavy boulder, with almost no breath leaking.
Shallow waters, always beautiful.
The water is crystal clear, and the sun shines down above, turning the clear water golden and there are schools of colorful fish
Swimming around, although there were many fewer fish nearby due to the disturbance of the monks before, the number of fish was still considerable.
There was a fish the size of an adult man's head, with a huge mouth and a thin demonic aura on its body, and it bit down towards Gu Qing's fair-skinned and slender neck, and its speed was extremely fast.
Gu Qing estimated it.
This is expected to become a spirit fish, and its speed in the sea water is already comparable to that of many mid-stage Qi refining cultivators.
Click!
This fish, which was about the size of Gu Qing's head, had six rows of white sharp teeth up and down, and bit Gu Qing's neck, but it was extremely miserable and broke half of its fangs, and was grabbed by Gu Qing casually, the fish struggled, and Gu Qing's hand did not move.
Gu Qing took a closer look at the fish.
'Split-toothed scarlet fish, fish eggs need half a year, after hatching, if it has not become a spirit, then only three years and five years can live, if it becomes a spirit, it can live for one or two hundred years, it is one of the main small monsters in the sea, its teeth, fins, bones, scales, etc. have a certain value.
However, the book says that the most precious thing about the fish was its pure blue eyes.
'Scarlet Tooth...... Gu Qing carefully recalled the records in "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Hanhai Cultivation Realm", and found the introduction of the fish in front of him from the demon beast chapter that did not occupy a few pages in this book.
Gu Qing's heart moved, and the golden light in his hand spread towards the body of the split-toothed scarlet fish, covering its whole body except for the eyeballs, the split-toothed scarlet fish was originally struggling, but after being covered by the golden light, except for a pair of big blue eyes, all of them turned into blood.
'Talking is better than nothing, and a little adds up. Gu Qing incorporated the thin blood qi of the scarlet fish into his body for refining.
He put away the two blue eyes, and the golden light around him began to glow, flowing above his flesh, and for a while his body was as heavy as a mountain, and the sinking speed suddenly increased tenfold!
After the body of the ancient demon was used as a clone, the power of the ancient demon was invoked, which was a completely different feeling from before, in the past, Gu Qing always had a feeling that something was separated, but at this time, the body of the ancient demon had obviously become his doppelganger, and the feeling of being separated by something was gone.
Thinking about it, spiritual cultivation will also affect the power of the ancient demons, at this time, his clone, that is, the body of the ancient demons, has no influence of spiritual cultivation, so the mobilization of the power of the ancient demons is naturally very smooth, but he feels that it is still not a perfect fit.
'The combination of the doppelganger and the ontology is certainly strong, but the path of the doppelganger and the ontology is different after all, and when the two are combined, it is a restriction for the ontology and the doppelganger, to a certain extent.
Gu Qing seemed to have an understanding.
As Gu Qing fell faster and faster, Cheng Su, who was shrouded in water-avoiding beads below, sensed that something extremely heavy was falling rapidly from above, and was about to approach her.
'Is that Gu Qing?
'What kind of retreat is this person performing......
Cheng Su's brows furrowed slightly.
Cheng Su didn't have the slightest affection for this Gu Qing who had played tricks on her before, but she had to admit that this person was indeed a little different, and the kind of escape technique she was using now was obviously an opportunity for her to spy on his secrets.
So Cheng Su's eyes glowed white and he stared upward.
But I saw a golden figure, in a very terrifying situation, breaking through the sea water, falling like a sharp sword, its speed is getting faster and faster, there is already a layer of air flow mixed with extreme scorching sensation around the body condensed, where it passed, the sea water was actually boiling and rolling!
Cheng Su's mouth opened slightly, slightly out of shape.
This Gu Qing didn't even do the slightest defense, only relying on his physical body to cross the sea at such a fast speed, he ...... Could it be that he is an individual cultivator?
Airplanes!
In front of Cheng Su's body, a golden and red figure flashed in front of Cheng Su's eyes, and the astonishing heat almost flew Cheng Su's top out.
Fortunately, Cheng Su protected his body with spiritual power in time, but he ignored the water-repellent bead that was emitting white mist and condensed into a water curtain.
Syllable!
The white curtain of water is broken.
Click!
On Cheng Su's water-avoiding beads, a crack emerged, and under the white protective aura, her originally calm expression was a little distorted.
