Chapter 5: Ash Grass, Flame Spirit Flower
Mentor Song's eyesight was better, he had seen it clearly, and he whispered, "Bonfire embers, someone has camped here!" Before the words fell, the soles of his feet surged with Xuan energy, and he ran to the ashes of the bonfire like the wind.
"The Xuanshi realm is really much stronger than the Xuantu. Xu Yang and the other teenagers sprinted forward with Tutor Song, and found that Tutor Song's running speed was nearly half faster than him, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The Monty Python Mountains are inaccessible, and except for the ascetic team, there is no one to be seen on weekdays.
"This bonfire is not small, enough for a dozen people to sit in a circle, and it seems that there is another team of ascetics, in front of us. Tutor Song's face was a little unsightly, "Qimen Dojo, there are no other penance teams that have set off with us recently. This ascetic team is only afraid of the people of the Huoyun Dojo. β
Xu Yang knew in his heart that the Qimen Dojo, the Water and Land Dojo, and the Huoyun Dojo, all three of them were old dojos in Linyuan City, although they were not as good as the dojo industry of the three major families, but their strength was not bad. Between ordinary dojos, there are definitely a lot of open and secret battles.
After all, there are only so many young apprentices in Xiuxuan, and if you go to your house, there will be one pair less. The truth that peers are enemies has existed since ancient times.
"No wonder we didn't encounter any elixir along the way, it turned out that someone rushed to the front," some teenagers were dissatisfied and asked, "Our Qimen Dojo, don't we have a penance route of our own?"
"This penance path is originally owned by my Qimen Dojo, this time the Huoyun Dojo has gone too far, and it actually steals our penance path!" Mentor Song hated itchy, but there was nothing he could do.
An ascetic path can only be walked three times a year, with at least a month between each time. In this way, the medicinal herbs on both sides of the ascetic path can have time to grow and reproduce, and there will be no lack of opportunities.
Now that the ascetic team of the Huoyun Dojo is in front, and all the spiritual objects have been dug up, where can the new Qimen Dojo and others be found?
For a while, there was a lot of resentment in the team, and there were complaints everywhere. Suddenly, Liu Zishan stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me! Since we have seen the ashes of their bonfire, it means that they have not gone far, and at most they are one day ahead of us! Let's catch them and ask for justice!"
"That's it, get justice!"
Under the clamor of the young men, Mentor Song finally made a decision, he nodded and said, "Let's move forward quickly, find the people from the Huoyun Dojo, and then theorize." β
Xu Yang didn't speak, except for asking Mentor Song about the recent situation of Linyuan City, he was silent the rest of the time. He was like a figure independent of the ascetics, who did not communicate with others, and other ascetics did not dare to come to him.
After all, before the crossing, these people in the penance team had basically bullied Xu Yang, and they were very suspicious.
Xu Yang was not optimistic about the Qimen Dojo's action to "seek justice", and he began to think about how he should return to Linyuan City if the penance team dispersed.
"The two sides will definitely fight, and when the time comes, I will snatch the map!" Xu Yang glanced at the leather bag that Tutor Song was carrying behind him, and thought about it, "The Huoyun Dojo is prepared, and there may be more than one guide, maybe there will be a Xuanshi-level teacher accompanying it! What is the truth, the big fist is the truth, what if you rob your penance route? Kill all the people in your Qimen Dojo here, and the matter will naturally be nipped in the bud." β
I have to say that Tutor Song is a soft-eared person, and as soon as he was cheered up by a group of teenagers who don't know the world, he had no idea and took an egg and touched it on the stone alive.
What made Xu Yang a little puzzled was that after walking for more than a month, how could the Qimen Dojo ascetic team find the traces of the Huoyun Dojo? If the two sides shared the same route, they should have discovered it very early.
But now is not the time to think about this problem, Xu Yang has already made a decision, once the situation is not good, grab the map and run away!
The time of the day was spent in a hurry. While camping, the guide of the Qimen Dojo, Mentor Song, had a gloomy face in a sunken valley beside the road, and found the embers of the fire, and even found a burnt cloth belt with the logo of "Huoyun Dojo" on the side!
"It's too much deception!" Mentor Song burst out four words from between his teeth.
Liu Zishan and the others said one after another: "Mentor, we don't have to rest at night, let's move on, find those grandsons of the Huoyun Dojo, and beat them up!"
"Okay!" Mentor Song also let go, although at night, wild beasts are infested, and the danger is greater, but reason has been blinded by his anger, "Let's go!"
When a child of a retail family like Liu Zishan joins the Qimen Dojo, he uses the Qimen Dojo as their place of enlightenment, and he has a strong sense of belonging.
As for Xu Yang, he himself is not a disciple of the Qimen Dojo, and the ascetic monks who participated in the Qimen Dojo have a reason, so he is naturally unwilling to tie himself to the same boat with these people, not to mention that these people have humiliated him in every way.
After a night's journey, when the faint morning light shone in the east again, the group finally made a new discovery.
"Look at that cliff!" Liu Zishan exclaimed excitedly, "Several ash grasses!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and in the middle of the cliff, there were indeed several inconspicuous gray-black grasses, swaying in the wind, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance.
Everyone was excited, although the ash grass is not a high-grade elixir, but for the Xuan disciples, it is also a good quenching herb, which contains rich fire energy, and the user's perception of the fire extreme Xuan Qi will be more keen, and it has the effect of improving the efficiency of qi induction.
What's more, patches of ash grass are often accompanied by flame flowers, which are real elixirs and are of high value.
Xu Yang's eyes flashed, and he thought secretly: "It is worthy of the golden age of Xuan Qi, in this mountain range where the degree of danger is not very high, the elixirs have appeared in a pile. β
The group ran quickly towards the cliff, laughing and talking.
"Do you say that the group of people in the Huoyun Dojo are stupid, they have missed such an obvious opportunity. β
"Maybe we've been walking day and night, and we've surpassed the puppies in the Huoyun Dojo, and now they're eating ash behind our butts!"
Xu Yang's heart moved, and he walked to the side.
"Hey, Xu Yang, what's the matter with you?" Mentor Song asked strangely.
"I'll go to Xiaojie, and then I'll be there. Xu Yang replied.
Tutor Song didn't think much about it, and led a group of disciples from the Qimen Dojo to march towards the cliff.
When these people disappeared, Xu Yang did not go to Xiaojie, but rushed out in the opposite direction, where there was a high hill facing the cliff, and he could see the situation of the cliff at a glance.
"Although the ash grass is good, it must also have a fate to enjoy it!" Xu Yang's eyes flashed, "This ash grass, there are two suspicious points! First, the mountain cliff stands high on three sides, and the terrain is like a pot, once the valley mouth is blocked, no one can escape except for a frontal breakthrough! Second, if the people of the Huoyun Dojo pass by this side, they will inevitably find this piece of ash grass, and there is no reason to miss it!"
So, this is a trap! The Xuanmen of the Huoyun Dojo are trapping and killing the ascetic team of the Qimen Dojo!
Xu Yang ran all the way, went up to a high post, and was sheltered by waist-deep artemisia grass, and he lay down and looked at Xiangxia.
From here, you can see the situation in the valley.
Mentor Song and the others came to the bottom of the valley, and the area where the ash grass was located was about four or five meters above the ground. For ordinary people, it is a little difficult to climb this cliff, but for the mysterious, it is not difficult.
Liu Zishan volunteered to pick herbs. He took out a small shovel from the leather bag, put it in his mouth, put on a pair of cowhide gloves with steel claws, and crawled with a kick.
It was easy to climb to the recess of the mountain where the ash grass was, and Liu Zishan suddenly found that in the ash grass pile, there was also a touch of red! He was excited in his heart, could this be the in-grade elixir associated with the ash grass, the Flame Flower?!
Whether it was or not, the bursts of heat that flowed from the crimson flowers made Liu Zishan breathe short, knowing that this was a treasure. He immediately used a small shovel to secretly dig out the rhizomes of the red flowers and put them in a small pouch around his waist, and Zuihou shoveled down a few ash grasses and put them in the leather pouch behind his back.
His actions were extremely secretive, and none of the people below Mentor Song found out. Xu Yang, who was not far away, was also difficult to see his small movements clearly because of the distance.
"It should be the Flame Flower, haha! I myself cultivated the Fire Pole Xuan Vein, and when I hit the Xuan Shi level, I took the Flame Flower, which is very beneficial for condensing the Fire Xuan Turbine! At least, it can increase the success rate of my breakthrough. β
Liu Zishan thought of the wonderful place, and felt refreshed. He didn't dare to show it, so he was only ruthless in secret: "When I become a Xuanshi, then Xu Yang will no longer be my opponent! Hmph, useless waste, thinking that you can turn over by taking a spiritual grass?"
"Haha......"
Liu Zishan didn't laugh, but at this moment, outside the valley, there was a burst of daxiao.
"Lao Hong, you have a good idea, sure enough, you arranged fragrant bait and caught a big fish. A gruff voice came.
"Where, carving insect skills, blame these guys from the Qimen Dojo for being too stupid. Another slightly shrill voice came.
"Without further ado, quickly kill these guys, Hugh called one away. "Zuihou a voice, like the symphony of gold and iron.
"Lu Zhuo, Hong Xi, and Wei Haoshan, the three guides of the Huoyun Dojo?" Tutor Song's face turned pale, and when he heard the voices of the three of them, he knew that something was wrong.
They have fallen into the ambush circle of the Fire Cloud Dojo!
"Lu Zhuo, Hong Xi, Wei Haoshan, it's really the three of you," Mentor Song said calmly, "You actually robbed me of the Qimen penance, aren't you afraid that our Qimen master will be held accountable to the Huoyun Dojo?"
"Haha, who am I so stupid, it turned out to be you Song Ren," Lu Zhuo, who had a rough voice, smiled, "It's really naΓ―ve." Tianxuan Continent, the strong are respected, this road, do you really think it belongs to your Qimen? Besides, as long as you all die here, who knows what our Huoyun Dao place is?"
Hong Xi, who had a shrill voice, was a pale and emaciated man, with a gloomy face, and said gloomily: "The Qimen ascetic team was completely wiped out in the Giant Python Mountain Range, I believe it will also be a big blow to the prestige of Qimen, right? β
Zuihou's Wei Haoshan, with a scar on his face, cut it horizontally, almost cutting the bridge of his nose into two sections, making him even more vicious. He said impatiently, "What are you talking about?"
