Chapter 262: The Reckless Mountain
If it weren't for the scene that often came to mind in the past few years, if it weren't for the crisp sound of "click" in his ears, after the delivery of this array key, Liu Xiaolou would not have paid too much attention to it, but regarded the refining of this array key as a solution in his cultivation.
The problem was solved, the formation had progressed, and that was all.
But for a practitioner, this means a chance in his cultivation career, although I don't know what it is, but it must be an undoubted chance.
"Brother Dao Ran, can you tell me, who entrusted you with refining the key to this array disk? My brother knows the rules, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't ask them, but this may be an opportunity for my brother."
"Since Xiao Lou said so, I won't hide it, he is a guest from the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, but who didn't tell me his surname, he came here. In fact, you and I both know that he should have found some ancient monk cave in the southwest mountains, and if we venture to investigate, I am afraid it will cause trouble."
"Brother knows, brother won't take the liberty to investigate, Brother Daoran rest assured."
"I'm going to hand over the key to the formation tomorrow, in the snake gang in the north, don't come over and disturb Xiaolou, I'll give you the spirit stone."
"Got it, haha, thank you Brother Daoran."
Turning the day, Liu Xiaolou came out of the side door of Zhuangzi and rushed to the snake gang, and after waiting for a long time under the post, he saw Liu Daoran swaying up the hill, so he followed behind, but he didn't follow too closely, and he was dozens of feet away from the back.
I saw Liu Daoran go up to a cliff platform, and turned out from behind the cliff platform, with bare arms, bare legs and feet, a bow on his shoulder, and an arrow pot on his back, which was full of arrow clusters, and looked like a typical Miao Mountain hunter.
Liu Daoran handed over the array key to this person, and after this person took it, he sat down, and Liu Daoran also sat down, and the two of them were immediately blocked by the bushes, and they couldn't see clearly.
Liu Xiaolou was very anxious, and wanted to stand up to see clearly, but he couldn't find a suitable angle, so he climbed sideways to the right, and just found a suitable gap, but it was already closed over there, only to see that the other party had accepted the key to the formation, and said goodbye to Liu Daoran.
After separation, Liu Daoran went down the mountain, and Liu Xiaolou was behind the man, because he couldn't know the other party's cultivation, he moved farther away, until an hour later, he found out the cave where the other party lived temporarily, and then returned to Liujiazhuang.
Seeing Liu Daoran, he asked for the details of the handover of the array key, and Liu Daoran replied: "I have to go again tomorrow, and the other party will tell me whether it is completed, and if the array key is available, the other party will deliver the spirit stone, and at the same time, we will completely open the mouth of the array key for its long-term use."
That night, Liu Xiaolou instructed Fang Buji: "I may have to go out for a long time, you have a good life to practice here, don't go out until you reach the fifth layer of qi refining."
Fang Bu was cultivating to a critical time, and after a little hesitation, he didn't want to follow Liu Xiaolou as before, and nodded and agreed.
After explaining, Liu Xiaolou rushed to Shegang overnight, chose a location with an excellent view in advance, and looked at the route to be tracked, and waited until dawn.
This time, looking at the handover between Liu Daoran and the other party, it can be seen very clearly, in fact, there is nothing to see, the other party obviously did a test after going back, proving that the array key is available, so he handed over the spirit stone to Liu Daoran, and Liu Daoran spent a moment to completely open the opening of the array key, and the two sides cleared it and said goodbye to each other.
Liu Xiaolou turned his head and followed the other party again, the tracking route he selected in advance was very good, it was easy to find the other party, but the other party was not easy to find him. While following, he carefully observed this person's cultivation, but this person's walking on the mountain road was ordinary, and there was nothing surprising about it, and he did not show any cultivation, so that Liu Xiaolou couldn't make up his mind to do it.
He originally planned to follow the other party to the cave where he lived temporarily, but he didn't know that the people bypassed the cave and didn't go back at all, so he could only continue to follow patiently.
This time, he followed out of the mountain road for more than 20 miles, and followed it until it was dark, and then followed to another cave, and at this time it was finally determined that most of this person's cultivation would not be too high, so he made up his mind to do it.
Quickly approached the past, and when this person entered the cave, Liu Xiaolou tiptoed to the entrance of the cave, and was about to look for an opportunity to lean over to burn incense, when he suddenly heard a cave in the cave
screamed miserably, Liu Xiaolou was stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly retreated.
When I was young, I saw another one coming out of the cave, but it was not the hunter I had been following just now, but a middle-aged monk, and his dress was no different from that of the Central Plains.
When the man came out, he jumped up, rolled over and went up to the top of the cave, and swept straight to the southwest.
Liu Xiaolou hurriedly glanced at the entrance of the cave, and saw that the hunter was lying in the cave, with blood on his mouth, and he was already dead.
He was awe-inspiring in his heart, reminding himself to be careful, and hurriedly jumped up and followed behind the man.
After following for a long time, judging from the body method, the middle-aged monk in front of him should be around the tenth layer of qi refining, and his cultivation is higher than his own, but because he didn't go all out, he could barely keep up, so he was very careful and followed all the way.
This heel followed for more than ten days, always moving forward in the barren mountains and mountains, and the direction of progress was always southwest. This person traveled about two or three hundred miles a day, not too fast, not slow, not to delay the night's rest, and calculated to follow him out for more than two or three thousand miles, but still did not reach the end.
After tracking for so many days in a row, I feel that I have entered the reckless primeval forest, the mountains are tall, the canyons are deep and dangerous, and they are hundreds of zhang high and hundreds of zhang deep at every turn, and the mountains are continuous, layer after layer, looking at it from afar, like layers of green smoke, stacked to the end of the sky, and I don't know tens of thousands.
And the danger in the mountains and forests is also increasing, those vines, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, and fierce beasts are haunting at any time, and the roar of the spirit beast is full of domineering, coupled with the miasma that often spreads quietly, and the swamp that does not show anything unusual at all, brings great trouble to the forward.
The greater trouble lies in the confusion in direction, the disappearance of time, and even the confusion in space.
Liu Xiaolou had long wanted to give up, but at this time, Liu Xiaolou actually didn't dare to retreat, once he retreated, he was very likely to fall into this, and he would quietly turn into dirt. Fortunately, the figure in front of him was obviously familiar with the road, avoided all kinds of big dangers, and took Liu Xiaolou to move forward safely.
His tracking has become a passive tracking, and if he doesn't follow, he doesn't know how to find a way out.
Finally one night, Liu Xiaolou was staring at the faint bonfire in the distance in a daze, and suddenly heard a wild roar shaking the mountains and forests, he subconsciously hid and avoided a few breaths - just a few breaths, the bonfire was extinguished, and the figure was no longer found.
Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt very lonely, and he seemed to be the only one left in the world.
