061, traces of snow treading (below)
They marched deeper into the southern wilderness, led by Pan Gu, the most experienced "old hunter". There are many things in the world, which can often be seen inadvertently when you don't look for them, but it is difficult to find them when you deliberately look for them, such as wild boars in the mountains and forests.
The next day there was no gain, and in the evening he chose a place to camp and continued to eat the horned elk meat left over from yesterday. The monks of the Four Realms could start to try Bigu, but at this time, Bigu was just a way to cultivate. Before cultivating to break through the Seven Realms, it is impossible for anyone to truly go without food, not even a tiger baby.
The Tiger Baby's form god is fused with the spiritual effect of the immortal elixir that he has taken since childhood, which can be slowly refined and absorbed, and he can cultivate for several years without eating, but it can't be like this forever. As for Hanxiong, who has just broken through the Four Realms, and Dajun, Xiaojun, and Pan Gu who have not yet broken through the Four Realms, of course, they can't stop eating.
Walking on the alpine snowfield and constantly searching, they are all cultivating the strength of the mountain, and the amount of food is quite amazing, and the meat of the horned moose is probably only enough to eat for a few days. On the way, Xiaojun seemed very calm, following the tiger baby to observe the surrounding scenery very carefully, he was also the first time to enter the Southern Wilderness, and when he rested every day, he still did not forget to sit down and run the strength of the body.
By the dawn of the third day, Pan Gu had already run to investigate the surrounding situation, and everyone got up and stretched their muscles and bones to dispel the cold around them. However, Xiao Jun kept sitting on the spread of wild millet skin, not moving or reacting, as if he was unaware of what was happening around him. The tiger baby made a silent gesture, and everyone stayed quietly and waited not far away.
Hanxiong asked quietly with his eyes, and Huwa nodded lightly in confirmation. Xiao Jun is in a deep silence at the moment, and he has forgotten where he is. Huwa had witnessed Hanxiong break through the four realms, and he could also detect Xiaojun's aura at the moment, he knew what Xiaojun was experiencing, but he didn't expect it to be here and now.
That kind of deep silence, the tiger baby had experienced many times in the Taihao ruins, and repeatedly refined her mind. Look at Joon's appearance. It shouldn't be the first time for him, he may have reached this point a long time ago, but he has not been able to solve it for a long time. During this time, Xiaojun was just like Huwa said, and he temporarily let go of a lot of things in his heart, so he worked as a miscellaneous disciple in the mountains and practiced martial arts every day.
Last night, he may have inadvertently entered this deep state of silence after cultivating the strength of Wuding Gong and when he was pranayama and cultivating his spiritual energy. Pan Gu ran back, saw this scene and didn't make a sound, and ran to the distant mountains and forests. When the sun had risen very high, Xiaojun finally opened his eyes in the middle of his sitting, as if he had suddenly experienced a big dream.
Huwa walked over first and congratulated, "Senior Brother Xiaojun." You've finally succeeded in breaking through the four realms. ”
When Hanxiong and Dajun heard this, they also hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate them. This is really an unexpected gain, Xiao Jun has been practicing martial arts for this time, and he has not yet reached the skill of being able to cut through the magic circle in the clouds, but today his cultivation has naturally broken through the four realms. He saluted to the tiger baby with great emotion: "Senior Brother Xiaolu, thank you for your guidance! You let me find the state of mind, there is also a kind of cultivation, I have taken this step." ”
Hanxiong walked and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Great! Together we climbed the main peak. ”
Xiao Jun looked at the surrounding mountains and said: "Although I have been guided by the path, the state of mind I want to find has never been completely pure, but walking down the Wufu Hill into this uninhabited mountain feels like untying the invisible shackles." I didn't climb the main peak in the first place. It's to break through the four realms, and this is the chance!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of barking in the mountains and forests in the distance, which should be an important discovery. Everyone rushed over.
Unable to find any signs of the boar, he found a few lines of shoe prints in the snow in the dense forest. It's shoe prints, not footprints. Looking at the lines left in the snow, it is still a very delicately processed leather sole, not left by the demon people in the wilderness - someone from outside the mountain had been here a few days ago.
Huwa's face immediately changed when she saw these shoe prints, and she said to everyone: "Don't go looking for wild boars yet, we have to catch up with these people quickly and see what they want to do?...... Hanxiong, we've seen these people, it's that group of monks from the Beast Mountain of the Silk Country!"
Looking closely at those footprints, there are a total of six people, and there are also the footprints of a beast next to the human footprints, and the traces should be a huge leopard. The tiger baby also found black animal hair on the bark of a tree, which belonged to the black panther he had seen. And the barking of Pan Gu also told him that the person who had walked here was the group of beast mountain monks who had rounded up the snake girl Qi Luo.
The panther and its owner had been injured by the tiger baby, and the other five Beast Mountain monks were also more or less injured at that time. Later, when Huwa ascended Wufu Hill, she didn't see the group of monks, and it was estimated that they were either recuperating from their injuries or had left Hongjin City, so they should not have the courage to show up near Wufu Hill again.
After the tiger baby went to Wufu Hill, she didn't mention the matter of the snake girl Qi Luo again. But Hanxiong told his fellow brothers about what happened before going up the mountain, and everyone heard about it. Dajun also reported to the Elder that there was an idea of a monk from the Beast Mountain who was plotting against a snake girl outside the Red Brocade City.
As for how the venerable elders of Wufu Hill dealt with it, the result is unknown, and they may send a message to warn the beast mountain, and those people failed to succeed at that time, and the consequences are not irreparable, I am afraid that there is no need to travel thousands of miles to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.
But I didn't expect that this group of people hadn't left yet, so long time had passed, and their injuries should have healed, but at this moment, the footprints appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness. Could it be that they still want to fight the snake girl? The snake girl village where Qi Luo is located is very remote and hidden, and it is not easy to be found, but Huwa still feels a little uneasy.
When everyone learned of the situation, they didn't bother to look for the wild boar, and chased after the footprints left by the monks of the Beast Mountain. Those people had been walking for several days, but fortunately there was no snow in the mountains these days, and many traces left in the snow were still there, and they chased them in the mountains for two days.
Dajun said on the way: "Senior Brother Xiaolu, why did I forget that you knew the demon girl before? You saved the demon girl who knew how to cultivate before you went up the mountain, and I heard that the relationship is very good, she must have told you the secret path to the snake girl's village." This is a good opportunity to go down the mountain, the second elder is simply rewarding you, just letting you take the opportunity to find the snake girl. ...... Brother, I envy you so much!"
Xiao Jun also said: "If we really can't find the wild boar, we can try it in the village of the Serpentine Clan." As far as I know, some demon villages also raise pigs, and it would be nice if the Serpentine tribe also raised pigs. ...... We don't ask for other people's things in vain, we can hunt other prey in exchange. People are not second elders, and they will not necessarily require a living creature larger than a fat pig. ”
Huwa smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, the Qiluo girl did tell them the general location of the village, and it is said that there is a secret path in the mountain. But the terrain in the wilderness is too complicated to be explained in a few words, and besides, on this snowy day, I can't see the road at all! Even if I want to find it, I may not be able to find it in a short time.
Besides, the habits of the Serpentine tribe do not welcome men into the village. Even when the snake girl met her own man, she went to the village alone, so what happened to us alien men breaking in?...... I'm just a little worried about the monks of the Beast Mountain, I want to see where they have gone and what they are doing?"
In the process of tracking, Huwa found that the group did not have a clear goal, as if they were looking for something in the depths of the wilderness, and also took some elixirs and specialties along the way. But they went around like this, and gradually approached the general direction of Qi Luo's village.
Dajun said again: "Those people came earlier than us, if we can't catch up tomorrow, let's go directly to the snake girl's village." ...... Senior Brother Xiaolu, since you know the general direction, we should be able to find it. "The problem he cares about now is not the big fat pig, he just wants to pick up the tiger baby to go to the snake girl's village,
Pan Gu whined twice and shook his head, and the tiger baby leaned down to look at the footprints and said, "It's very close, these traces seem to have been left just yesterday." There's no way they'll know there's someone behind them, they're not going too fast, and under normal circumstances, we're supposed to catch up tomorrow. ...... If we can't catch up tomorrow, we'll go to Miss Ziro's village first. ”
On this day, they followed the footprints until dark, found a temporary camp for the night, and continued to set off at dawn. When climbing a high slope, Pan Gu suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears, and at the same time, everyone heard a click from the mountain forest ahead. It actually looks like someone is chopping wood, and if you look closely, someone is really chopping wood, and he is chopping a very special branch!
......
There is a wood-cutting peak in Wufu Hill, and there is a strange tree called the firewood pine on the wood-cutting peak, which is hard and dense and grows very slowly, but the cold-fire pine that has been hundreds of years old in the primeval jungle is also very tall. The 1,000-year-old flaming pine sometimes has a very special branch at the height of the tree, the surface is red and very smooth, and in the winter after the needles have fallen, it looks like a forked red coral.
The tiger baby had never seen what red coral looked like, but he had heard it described it like this, and the mountain god had also introduced it to him with a divine thought. It is said that there is a precious red coral in the palace of King Ba, which was brought by the founding king of the country, Yan Zhao.
This particular branch, which may be a natural variation of the cold fire pine, is rarely seen, and it is also something that Wufuqiu's disciples look for in the mountains every year. Its texture is extremely dense and tough, and it is difficult to cut with ordinary knives and axes, and when it falls into the water, it will sink to the bottom like a stone. (To be continued......)
