Three hundred chapters, control the wind and sand
Everyone stood at the entrance, carefully observed for a long time, and did not find anything abnormal, the stone forest passage was empty, the sunlight shone obliquely on the sparse stone pillars, creating bright faces and dark shadows, and the sand and dust swam on the ground in the slow breeze, except for the large and small sand and gravel, there was not a beetle or half a black snake.
Everyone began to enter the stone forest, still moving forward separately according to their own teams, Luo Luoshan and the four people walked through the middle passage, and the black and white Shuangsha and Qingduan Chen were separated from each other.
After walking for more than 100 zhang, they came to the place where the Five Elements Catcher was killed that night, only to see that on the side of the two collapsed stone pillars, the relics of several of them were scattered scattered, all of which were swords and other metal items and storage vessels made of special minerals with spatial properties, and other bones, hair, clothes, and even wooden scabbards and leather armor were not left behind.
Loro Hill instructed Assi to pack up these things and move on. Soon, the team marched to the stone pillar where the camel was trapped that day, only to see the weapons and storage items of the camel and his disciples falling to the ground, and the camel himself was naturally nowhere to be found. No one knows what happened to him in the end, but one thing is certain: he must be dead. Naturally, Assi also took away his relics.
Further on, there are metal objects and storage objects along the way, many of which are half-buried in the ground, but they are mostly well preserved due to the dry climate. It seems that for thousands of years, there have been many people who have lost their lives here.
Loroshan smiled and said that the relics of these predecessors could also be regarded as a treasure, and he asked Assi to put them all away, promising that after the operation was over, they would also be distributed as the harvest of this event.
Under the bright and scorching sun, there were indeed no poisonous insects in the entire stone forest, and a group of nine people walked a distance of thousands of feet smoothly and entered the vast desert again.
It is also a desert, but the desert terrain behind the passage is a little different, there are no dense sand dunes with high and low levels, only slightly undulating flat sand plains.
Luo Luoshan led everyone to the northwest, and after walking for more than ten miles, he stopped again.
After looking around, Luo Luoshan took out the positioning instrument and began to determine the direction, but he couldn't figure out which direction to go after fiddling for a long time.
"Boss Luo," Qingshi asked, "can't you determine your bearing?" ”
"yes!" Luo Luoshan said, "According to the clues I have gotten, I can now see the above-ground part of Shenlong City. However, we can't see anything now, and I suspect that after passing through the passage, the mirror illusion is still there, and we are still walking in the wrong direction. ”
"That's easy," said Aoishi, "now that we're walking on a flat sandy plain, we'll see if we've strayed from our direction." ”
After speaking, Qingshi launched the wings of wind and thunder and soared into the air, and instantly flew to a height of dozens of zhang. After looking around carefully, Qingshi had a rough judgment in his heart, so he gently fell to the ground.
Qingshi fell back to the ground, but saw that except for Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye, the rest of the people were staring at him like monsters.
"Brother Haiya!" Luo Luoshan swallowed and said, "You are already a Divine Yuan Realm cultivator?" ”
"No," Qingshi said with a smile, "It's just a martial art. My cultivation level is only the early stage of the Immortal Pill Realm, which is far worse than Boss Luo and the two cousins. ”
Qingshi now knows that among the nine people, Luoluo Mountain is the ninth stage of the Xiandan Realm, the black and white Shuangsha is about five or six stages of the Xiandan Realm, the Qingshi Xiandan Realm is a section, Duan Chen is both the ninth stage of the Jindan Realm, and the three of Adong, Axi Anan are all the middle and high levels of the Jindan Realm.
Hearing Qingshi say this, everyone nodded and put away their shocked expressions, but Qingshi's anti-heaven martial arts were too good, and to some extent, they were even more surprised in their hearts.
"Brother Haiya," said Luo Luoshan, "what have you found that we are confused?" ”
"Nope!" "I looked at the traces we walked through, and there was basically nothing wrong with it, we had been walking towards the northwest. Theoretically speaking, since someone can see through the mirror illusion outside and enter here, then there is no point in doing such a show here. ”
"Then why can't you see Shenlong City?" Luo Luoshan said, "We should have walked ten miles, right?" ”
"Pretty much." "I can't see any traces of a city in a large area around here. ”
"Boss Luo," Bai Xiong said, "could it be that the clues you got are inaccurate?" ”
"No!" Luo Luoshan said, "If we can come here according to this clue information, it means that it is accurate, there is no reason why everything in front is correct, but it is wrong to enter here!" ”
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said thoughtfully, "What exactly does your clue say, can you describe it?" ”
"Of course," Luo Luoshan said, "the information says that after passing through the stone forest passage, you will enter a large sandy plain, and walk ten miles northwest to a slightly raised platform, and you can see Shenlong City." Aren't we in this slightly raised mesa now? ”
Everyone couldn't help but start looking around.
"Anan!" Qingshi said, "You can take a good look around and see if you can find any traces of man-made buildings?" ”
"Nope!" Anan looked around and said disappointedly, "There is sand on all sides, and there is not a single mouse hole, so there are no man-made buildings!" ”
"Hmm~" Qingshi said thoughtfully, "It seems that this Divine Dragon City is mostly buried under the sand. ”
"Yes!" "I think so, too. ”
"Not bad!" Luo Luoshan nodded, "It seems that this is the case nine times out of ten." ”
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said, "Does the information say how far away Shenlong City is from this platform?" In which direction? ”
"No," said Loroshan, "I just said that you can see it when you walk here." ”
"Why don't we dig around and see?" Duan Wutian said.
"Cut~" Anan said, "Such a large desert, do you know which direction to dig?" Do you know where to start digging? Do you know how deep to dig? You know ......."
"I don't know!" Duan Wutian's eyes widened and interrupted Anan, "I only know that digging is better than standing and talking cold, if you can't come up with a better way, Lao Tzu will beat you again!" ”
"You ......," Anan closed his mouth in horror.
"What's wrong with me?" Duan Wutian shouted, "What about your method?" Say it and we'll hear it! ”
Anan didn't speak, and ran out dozens of feet away with a smoke.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Kesuyun is right," Qingshi said with a smile, "digging around is a solution, we have a lot of puppets to help." But maybe we have a better way. ”
"What's the solution?" Bai Xu hurriedly said, "Brother Haiya is amazing, talk about it quickly!" ”
"There's no hurry," Qingshi smiled, "I'll have to wait now." ”
"Wait?" Bai Sha scratched the back of his head and asked suspiciously, "What are you waiting for this time?" ”
"Wait for the wind!" Aoshi said, "Wait for the strong wind at dawn tomorrow." ”
"Isn't it?" Luo Luoshan said in surprise, "Do you want the strong wind at dawn tomorrow to blow away all the sand and expose Shenlong City?" ”
"It's not hope," said Aoishi, "it's utilization!" Boss Luo, you use the wind to agitate the sails, so that the sand boat can gallop regardless of the wind and headwind, and travel thousands of miles in a few days, this wind control technique is not simple! I'm afraid you've already understood the way of the wind, right? ”
"Good eyesight!" Luo Luoshan laughed and said, "My old Luo has indeed mastered some wind control techniques. But Brother Haiya overestimated me, I only realized some of the way of the wind, and I was far from understanding. So, if I want to control the direction of the wind to drive the sails, it's fine, but if I want to control the wind that blows the sandstorm, then I can't do it. ”
"Oh!" Qingshi nodded and said, "Boss Luo, you are too modest, I see that your comprehension of the way of the wind is not just a fur. ”
"Maybe it's more than fur!" "However, I really can't control the wind to sweep away such a large piece of yellow sand!" ”
"Alright then!" Aoshi said, "In that case, I'll try it." ”
"Huh?"
Luo Luoshan was dumbfounded, and the others, except for Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian, were all stunned and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
"Brother Haiya!" Luo Luoshan came back to his senses and asked, "How far have you comprehended the way of the wind?" ”
"Enlightened." Qingshi said lightly, "Tomorrow, when I try to use the strong wind to sweep away the yellow sand, if Boss Luo is interested, you might as well pay attention, maybe it will help you." But I haven't done this before, so it's hard to say how much of a difference it will make. ”
"Enlightened! Oh, my God! My brother is a genius I've never seen before! Luo Luoshan was surprised inexplicably, and said happily, "My brother took the initiative to teach, Lao Luo, I naturally can't ask for it, thank you brother!" ”
That night, Qingshi did not enter the tent, but sat cross-legged on the ground to practice Dahuang Gong. After the nine weeks of operation, it was already the second half of the night, and Qingshi did not practice the water source gong again, but lay on his back on the yellow sand to watch the stars move. After this night's rest, he kept his spirit in the best condition.
At dawn, the wind blew again in the desert.
The bluestone stands at the highest point of the platform facing northwest, with the elbow gently resting on the waist, and the forearm stretched forward, the palm upward, naturally spread out in front of the body.
When the wind came, the bluestone released its own mental power, allowing it to poke into the wind like thousands of tentacles.
He is exploring the speed and power, direction and trajectory of the wind, and he is perceiving the character and temperament, likes and dislikes of the wind.
The wind gradually strengthened, and the power of Aoshi's mind slowly merged into the wind, and then, he felt that he and the wind became one.
Luo Luoshan stood ten paces behind Qingshi, and the rest of the people stood about a hundred paces behind them, all of them watching how Qingshi used the art of wind control, and they were always keeping an eye on the movement of the wind.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was blowing from the northeast, mixed with dense sand and dust, and hit the bodies and faces of the seven of them, including Black and White Shuangsha, Duan Wutian, Chen Tianye, and Adong Axi Anan, blowing their bodies slightly and their eyes difficult to open.
Suddenly, the seven of them felt that the wind had suddenly become smaller again, and they were surprised to see Luo Luo Mountain, a hundred paces away, dressed vigorously and dancing wildly, obviously, Luo Luo Mountain was still in the fierce wind. Looking at the bluestone in front of him, it seems to be in the breeze, the corners of his clothes are lightly blowing, and his hair is not messy.
Then the seven of them noticed a change in the direction of the wind, from northeast to southwest to northwest, and apparently the wind had turned as it passed by.
In addition to the change in the direction of the wind, the magnitude and strength of the wind also changed, and it became more and more violent.
Suddenly, a large black shadow suddenly rose in front of Qingshi, as if a curtain covering the sky was pulled up from the ground, and the yellow sand on the ground was blown up by the fierce wind and flew into the sky.
The power of bluestone's mind is like a huge net covering heaven and earth, and every silk thread on the net is integrated into the wind between heaven and earth.
Under the control of Qingshi's mind, Gangfeng became even more crazy, and the wind was like an invisible giant hand, centering the yellow sand on the ground in the northwest direction, frantically curling and throwing it towards the front and sides.
After more than an hour of violent sand and dust, the wind gradually subsided, and as the sun rose, the sand and dust quickly dissipated, and the wind returned to gentleness.
Taking bluestone as the starting point, a radial lowland appeared on the desert, and the whole lowland was roughly fan-shaped at an angle of about 90 degrees, spreading out for at least ten miles in the northwest direction.
The lowlands were still a patch of yellow sand, but about seven or eight miles away from the bluestone and a little westerly, several sharp ground protrusions could be seen on the yellow sand, and from the appearance, there was no doubt that they were the spires of man-made buildings.
