Chapter 182: Heading to Ten Thousand Graves
Coming out of the Hall of Elders, along the mountain road, Yang Ji walked directly to the edge of the practice square on the second floor. On the empty practice ground, several huge cranes of the same height as people leisurely combed their feathers.
Next to the crane stood Zhao Hua, Lin Qingyan, Pan Chen and others.
After the martial arts examination, Zhao Hua and others also rushed back to the Iron Crown faction. Originally, the four of them had some other arrangements, but the appearance of the demon of the underworld disrupted the steps of the four of them, and they had to rush back overnight.
"Have you met with the Elders?"
Zhao Hua looked sideways at Yang Jidao.
"Hmm. β
Yang Ji nodded.
"Let's go, then. β
The four of them rode on the crane, and the huge crane was made of steel and iron, and the four people sat without moving. These cranes have all been fed with the Great Pill, just waiting for Yang Ji to step up, Zhao Slip slapped under the jaw of the crane, and first rose to the sky.
Behind, the four cranes were as white as snow, flapping their wings one after another, and flapping their wings and flying into the sky.
The wind is howling on the top of the mountain, sitting on the back of the crane, and the thousands of mountains are in full view.
"Ten Thousand Graves Ridge is there!"
As soon as Zhao Hua pointed to the northwest direction, he led everyone to ride the crane across the sky and quickly disappeared into the northwest sky.
Gray and foggy, Yang Ji straddled the back of the crane and looked down below. I saw a gray mist seeping out of the mountains.
On the way back, Yang Ji already felt that there was something abnormal about those plants. But it is only when you are in the sky that you can intuitively feel this change.
In April and May, it is the time when the mountains are full of flowers and leaves.
But Yang Ji hung high in the sky, as far as the eye could see, and he didn't see any flowers at all. Some were just large foliage, and they were lifeless, revealing a stream of ashes.
Some of the leaves have even turned yellow around the edges. It's like it's going to fall.
This scenery is completely autumn and winter.
"Yang Ji, the Northwest Ten Thousand Graves Ridge is extremely full of dead qi, except for the people in the evil path, it is impossible for others to replenish the heaven and earth vitality there. β
Zhao Slip's voice came from his ears.
Yang Ji's heart moved, he came back to his senses, and hummed.
"Also. It is an open secret that there are often evil Dao martial artists attacking our sect disciples in Wanfen Ridge. When you go there to find out what's going on, you have to be careful of the Skeleton Ghost King, and even more so those evil martial artists. β
Pan Chen on the side also said with a solemn face.
"Hmm. The elders have already told me. β
Yang Jidao.
"Oh?"
Pan Chen's eyes blinked slightly, and he relaxed: "That's the best." - Sister Lin, you've been there too. What do you have to say to Senior Brother Yang?"
Lin Qingyan's big sleeves are fluttering, standing on the back of the crane, there is a kind of fairy smell that is ethereal out of the dust. Hearing Pan Chen ask, Lin Qingyan's eyes were in a trance. Seriously:
"I won't say much more. You'll know when you get there anyway. However, there is one thing I want to sue you. It was foggy in the Ten Thousand Graves, and the deeper we went, the bigger the fog became, and it was easy for us to get lost inside. Sometimes, the more people go in, the more you can't. β
"There's something that might help you, though. β
Lin Qingyan said and took out something from her sleeve. It was a reishi-like plant, bright red as blood. But there is a strong smell of death:
"This is the dead man's shiba, fed by the flesh and blood of the dead. There are not many in the Ten Thousand Graves, but there are definitely a lot of them. You must have also seen that the crown of the dead man's mushroom is large at one end, small at the other, and thick at the other. Thin at one end. β
"If you get lost in the Ten Thousand Graves, remember to inspect these dead people. The large, thick end of these dead people's Zhizhi crowns always refers to the direction of due north. As long as you find this dead man, you will be able to come out in time. β
"Senior Sister Lin, can you let me take a look?"
Yang Ji was surprised in his heart.
Lin Qingyan said something he had never heard of before. If the news about Dead Man Shiba is true. Then the news about Lin Qingyan is extremely useful.
"You can take it. β
Lin Qingyan threw the dead man Zhi over and said disapprerovitically.
"Dead Man's Mushroom" is grown from the flesh and blood of dead people, and it is not popular.
However, there is a miracle effect. It can be said to be very useful to be able to absorb the remaining evil qi in the body of the martial artist and develop it into an elixir, which can heal the wounds suffered by the evil martial artist.
"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my feet wet."
When the disciples of the sect are walking outside, there will always be times when they will encounter powerful evil path martial artists. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing a few pills of the elixir developed by the Dead Man's Mushroom, and being prepared.
Lin Qingyan had suffered the losses of evil martial artists, so she had put her mind into studying this kind of thing.
Yang Ji carefully examined it in the palm of his hand, and remembered all the shapes, appearances, smells, and textures of the dead manzhi in his mind, and then returned it to Lin Qingyan.
"Senior Sister Lin, thank you. β
"You're welcome. β
Lin Qingyan smiled.
The five giant cranes roared towards the northwest, and after about a thousand zhang, Lu Wu, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke:
"Yang Ji, I really don't want you to go to Wanfenling. β
One sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yang Ji turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
"I know you have a boat to sail and run away if necessary. But now that the creatures of the underworld are constantly emerging, I'm sure there's definitely more defense there than you think. It's even possible that you've been spotted before you get close. β
Yang Ji frowned, but did not refute.
"In addition, the Skeleton Ghost King is a martial sect-level powerhouse. Even the elders of the various factions did not dare to deal with him lightly. Senior Brother Pan and I have also been to Wanfenling a few times, but to be honest...... , the one who goes is always on the edge. Those core areas have never been explored. β
Lu Wu looked at Yang Ji sideways, with a serious expression:
"The evil spirits of the underworld have appeared, this is a matter for the elders and the court. A qiΔ has their own capable people to deal with and solve. From my personal standpoint, I do not approve of your actions at all. β
"Plan before you act, I mean. We'd better stay on the edge of Ironcrown Mountain, wait for news, and deal with the invading demons. β
Lu Wu's gaze was deep, and he obviously thought about it for a long time before saying it. Going deep into the core of a skeleton ghost king's territory alone, in Lu Wu's opinion, this is very risky.
He and Zhao Hua have never done it before.
Although he agreed to go with Yang Ji. But in his heart, Lu Wu did not agree with this action.
Yang Ji was silent, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Senior Brother Lu, it's not that I'm willing to take risks. It is the position of our Iron Crown Sect that makes us suffer the most from this catastrophe. Others can wait, but we can't afford to wait. β
"You have also seen the losses of the brothers and sisters in the past few days. It's been a few days since the encirclement and suppression of the demons of the underworld. But these demons can't be killed. If this is not addressed, find out. I'm worried that the impact on our Iron Crown faction will get heavier and heavier in the future. β
"I have been in the Iron Crown faction for more than a year, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion. In any case, I don't want the sect to suffer irreparable damage this time. β
Yang Ji said seriously.
It's still a pleasure to stay in the Iron Crown Sect, whether it's the senior brother or the elders of the faction, they all take care of it. As the first sect he joined, Yang Ji never wanted to see it destroyed at the hands of this underworld creature.
The wind was howling, and several people were thoughtful. Only Lu Wu shook his head.
"Even if you've made up your mind, I can't stop it. Either way, I don't approve of this action. β
Lu Wu said firmly.
Yang Ji shook his head. I felt a little helpless. Lu Wu sometimes seems very stubborn, and Yang Ji can't change it, but he must go to Wanfenling.
Just when the atmosphere was slightly stiff, suddenly a voice came from my ear:
"Look thereββ"
But it was Lin Qingyan who suddenly changed the topic at this time to dissipate her nervousness.
Everyone followed Lin Qingyan's gaze, only to see the gray mist, and through the heavy fog veil, they saw a thin evil ghost lying on the mountain peak behind. Gnawing on the carcass of a rock deer.
"Go down!"
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he gently pressed on the long neck of the crane. The huge crane immediately spread its wings, straightened its legs, and fell downward.
Choke on the Hammer!
There was a sound of gold and iron, and on Yang Ji's waist, a rainbow light flashed, and two flying swords flew out. A huge arc was drawn in the void, and when the demon raised its head, it cut off a head and rolled down the mountain stream.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The matter of going to Wanfenling is not in a hurry. There are now many underworld creatures near the sect, and the pressure on the juniors and disciples is not great, so it is better for us to slow down for the time being and clear the underworld creatures on the road, so as to reduce the burden of the sect. β
Yang Jiti yì said.
"It's fine. β
Zhao Hua's eyes flashed, and he first agreed:
"Anyway, it's along the way, so it's better to cut them all together. β
"It's good!"
Everyone nodded, no objections. At that moment, a few people lowered their heights, showed their means, and flew forward along the ups and downs of the mountain.
"Boom!"
A few zhang later, Pan Chen suddenly jumped down from the crane's back, shook a hungry demon halfway up the mountainside with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, and jumped again, turning over and returning to the crane's back......
Yang Ji sat on the back of the crane, flawless.
There is still a long distance from Tieguan Mountain to Wanfenling, and this way is the time to practice the sword skills on the "Sword Codex".
Sou!
A few gusts of wind swept by, and Yang Ji's heart moved, and three flying swords roared out in three directions and in three attitudes.
Yang Ji's mind was connected to the three flying swords, like the fingers of his arm, which was not controlled by space at all. That kind of hearty is by no means comparable to the ordinary flying sword technique that pays attention to speed.
Laugh at!
The cold light flashed, and the two heads poked out of the grass, and the demon of the underworld instantly turned their heads in different places, broke their necks and trembled twice, and fell into the dust.
With a crane chirp, the snow-white crane carried Yang Ji to the sky, and then swooped down again.
The distance sent from the Iron Crown to the northwest for hundreds of miles has completely turned into a hunt of five people. Yang Ji was introverted, and he controlled the three flying swords with all his heart, spinning or turning or slashing or sharpening...... , the means are extremely flexible.
In the continuous actual combat killing, Yang Ji's understanding of the realm of "swordsman" has skyrocketed, and his ability to control flying swords has become more and more straightforward and flexible.
"Whoosh!"
When the crane flew over a cliff, suddenly, behind the steep and smooth cliff, a black shadow pounced out from behind the raised rock, and a claw with a suction cup grabbed the crane that Zhao Slip was riding, and the speed was extremely fast.
"Be careful!"
Lin Qingyan, who was the farthest away from the cliff, noticed it first, and her face changed in an instant. This demon is fast, agile, powerful, and able to climb steep cliffs, and there are obviously not many other demons.
Boom!
Lin Qingyan took out the long sword at her waist and wanted to perform the electric mother swordsmanship, but it was too late. The appearance of that evil ghost was too abrupt, and at such a close distance, even the electric mother sword technique was too late.
It's too late, it's too soonβ
In an instant, a cold light flashed, and a flying sword swept by, circled around the neck, and immediately tore this evil ghost, along with its claws, to pieces...... (To be continued......)
