Chapter 364: The Gatekeeper Struggling for Shackles (5)
"Did you find anything else at the top of the mountain?"
Elder Zhang said in a deep voice.
"Nope. ”
The disciple of the Iron Crown Sect in a green shirt shook his head, and sweat flowed down his forehead:
"By the time we went up the hill, the gatekeeper was gone, and nothing was found. By the way, there are two broken chains on the mountain. We have put away the chains and put them in the house of elders. ”
"Buzz"
Hearing this, several elders were shocked.
Elder Zhang stood up violently, his mouth wide open, and he sat back heavily, and let out a long breath, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden.
"That's enough, Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Brother Xing, with two chains, we can also account for Yuanchen Sect. That one is not a thing in the pool after all, he has been in our Iron Crown Sect for nearly ten or twenty years, guarding the scripture cave for us. Being able to leave this when we leave can be regarded as thinking about our continuous fireworks for more than ten years, and the hard work of delivering meals to him every day can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. ”
Elder Zhang turned around and looked at the junior disciples.
"yes. ”
Elder Xing and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, and let go of the heart that had been hanging, "I promised Yuanchenzong to exile that person here." We have not treated him badly for more than ten years, but we dare not go against the will of Yuanchen Sect and let him go without permission. Even if he broke free on his own, then it has nothing to do with us. Every qiē is his creation, and if you want to come to Yuanchen Sect, you won't blame us. ”
Elder Zhang, Elder Xing, Elder Qiu, and the others were full of gratitude on their faces.
The strength of the Iron Crown Sect is not weak, but compared to a big faction like Yuanchen Sect, it is too far behind. In the martial sect realm, the sects at the county level are all small factions.
Therefore, Langya County has the Ice Blood Faction, the Nine Palace Faction, the Bronze Cloak Faction, the Iron Sword Faction, and the Iron Crown Faction...... , except for the Iron Crown Sect.
All those who can be named after the sect are big factions.
Yuanchen Sect is such a big faction. Compared with the Yuanchen Sect, whether it is the Iron Crown Sect or the Iron Sword Sect, they are all insignificant small factions.
A few people know that those two chains seem to be clumsy, but they are not actually products, otherwise, the gatekeeper would not be able to sit on the top of the mountain for more than ten years.
He had already broken free of the chains, and when he was about to leave, he could take a few chains with him and clean up the battlefield. Those two chains were actually the ones he left behind to excuse the Iron Crown Sect.
With these two things to explain, you can keep the Iron Crown Sect fine.
From the gatekeeper's point of view, he has really done his best for the Iron Crown faction.
"Senior Brother Qiu, hurry up and repair the book and send it to Yuanchen Sect. The sooner this happens, the better. As for the two chains, Senior Brother, you should hurry back to Tieguan Mountain. In any case, you have to keep it and wait for the Yuanchen Sect to check it!"
Elder Zhang said calmly.
"Yes, senior brother, let's do it. ”
The two said in unison.
............
The green hills are still there, and the ancient trees are verdant. On the top of the tree, a flying ape jumped and climbed over, or cried, or looked at the sun, or caught lice, or fell against each other.
The howl of the ape and the roar of the waterfall in the distance mingled together for a peaceful scene.
This is Saruyama!
Leaving from Tieguan Mountain, Yang Ji has been here for a few days. The matter of the gatekeeper only caused a shock at the top, and the disciples below didn't know much about it.
All the news is locked to a few people.
Yang Ji sat alone in the treetops, looking at the frolicking apes, listening to the roar of the waterfall in the distance, and his heart was peaceful. In the underworld calamity, the loss of Ape Mountain is not small.
However, thanks to the ability of the spirit apes to jump like flying in the treetops, coupled with Ohara's command, the timely evacuation, the losses suffered were not as great as imagined.
"After a while, these spirit apes are probably really going to become a tyrant near the Iron Crown Mountain. ”
Yang Ji looked at the woods not far away.
The abundant source of spiritual fruits and elixirs has greatly increased the amount of magic wine brewed by the spirit apes. Their wisdom is getting stronger and stronger, and they are now learning the boxing techniques they taught Ohara.
“...... But that's fine. With Xiao Yuan's constraints, in a few tens or hundreds of years, the strength of these spirit apes will greatly increase. At that time, the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect may each have an extra spirit pet. ”
Yang Ji laughed silently.
The higher the intelligence of the spirit ape, the more spirituality it is. has his own incense relationship with Ohara. In the future, the relationship between the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect and the Ape Mountain Spirit Ape will probably be very close.
In the future, as long as you click on it yourself and let Zhao Xian, who stays in the sect, pay attention to them, these spirit apes may not need to sneak into the Iron Crown Mountain.
It is not a good thing that humans and spirit apes live in harmony.
"Phew!"
Taking a deep breath, Yang Ji quickly came back to his senses. Look into the void in front of you. In mid-air, a slightly yellowish grass was suspended in the void, and the surrounding air flow was chaotic, and breezes continued to blow from all directions.
The gatekeeper's words before leaving echoed in his ears again, and Yang Ji looked carefully at the withered yellow vitality grass. At first glance, it seems that nothing can be seen.
But if you perceive it carefully, you will find that this Yuan Qi Grass is continuously absorbing Yuan Qi energy from the void, and the speed of absorption is not slow, almost comparable to a martial arts triple powerhouse.
"The gatekeeper has been on the top of the mountain for more than ten years, and it seems that it is only by relying on this vitality grass that he can survive and preserve a wisp of blood. ”
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
This Yuan Qi Grass is not a real form, Yang Ji can feel it. It's very weak. The Vitality Grass is a treasure between heaven and earth, gathering a huge aura between heaven and earth.
How could such a rare plant be yellow?
Yang Ji remembered the two chains on the gatekeeper's ankles. Those two chains are very strange, and Yang Ji has known this for a long time. It's not just because it's hard, but now that I think about it, that kind of thing should still be able to erode and corrode the spirit and blood of the gatekeeper.
If it weren't for that, how could a martial artist with a ninefold martial arts be so sloppy and thin. No matter how much you imprison him, it is impossible not to bring him food.
Obviously, for more than ten years, the gatekeeper has been relying on this vitality grass on his body to absorb vitality and resist the erosion of chains. However, it is a pity that for a strong man like the gatekeeper, the vitality of the Iron Crown Sect Mountain Top is not abundant.
Therefore, the gatekeeper began to suck the energy in the Yuan Qi Grass! After more than ten years, when it reached Yang Ji's hands, there was only a withered and yellow Yuan Qi Grass.
But Yang Ji is by no means without gains.
"This thing is no ordinary vitality grass. ”
Yang Ji looked at the swaying Yuan Qi Grass in mid-air, and a thought flashed through his mind. It has been absorbed by a martial venerable powerhouse like the gatekeeper for more than ten years, and it can also be compared to the vitality of a martial arts triple level martial artist, and the original appearance of this vitality grass is definitely amazing.
Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that this deal is not necessarily the gatekeeper taking advantage.
In a trance, Yang Ji remembered Zhu Huanyi of the Yuanchen Sect mentioned by the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was relegated here, chained, and tortured, and it was impossible for the other party not to guard against him.
Magic weapons, treasures, and the like can't be hidden from the other party's ears and eyes. Only the Genki Grass is not easy to be noticed.
Yang Ji could even think of where the gatekeeper was hiding in the first place.
- Soles!
"No, you can't hide it from him. He must have put it in his mouth. Only by hiding in the mouth can it be possible to avoid being discovered. ”
Yang Ji couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. As you can imagine, it is really not easy for the gatekeeper to save this vitality grass.
"It seems that he really didn't lie, this vitality grass is something that his life is at stake. If you don't pay attention, you can get obsidian and get out of trouble. It is estimated that he will never hand it over. ”
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
All the causes and consequences of the event passed through his mind. For the gatekeeper sitting on the top of the mountain, it is absolutely impossible for the Yuan Qi Grass to be handed over.
And thinking carefully about his usual actions, there is also a deep meaning. The gatekeeper spends most of his time sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his back to the cliff, and will not even move unless necessary.
Even if he was a visitor, his next plate was hardly moved.
Now that he thinks about it, he usually doesn't move lightly, obviously to save energy.
It's just one time and another. The gatekeeper has regained his free body, and the vitality grass will not be of much use to him. That's why he generously handed it over to Yang Ji.
Coming back to his senses, Yang Ji shook his head and smiled, reached out and grabbed a sword weapon suspended in the air next to him, and the blade swiped lightly on the outstretched fingers, and immediately blood gushed out, like a grain of fine sand.
Yang Ji raised his finger and hung it above the slightly withered Yuan Qi Grass, spilling grains of iron and sand-like blood onto the leaves of the Yuan Qi Grass. The blood of a martial sect-level powerhouse turned into sand, and the blood that flowed out was no different from iron sand.
This kind of blood is very difficult to absorb, and can only be refined as a medicinal herb in the Ding furnace.
However, when the iron sand touched the leaves of the Genki Grass, the grains melted like droplets of water, and quickly sank into the Genki Grass. The vitality grass shook twice, obviously refreshed, but the leaves were still yellow.
Yang Ji looked at it carefully, but he was not surprised by this change.
"Sure enough, the blood of the strong is rich in a huge amount of aura. It is the best nutrition to restore these vitality plants. ”
Yang Ji nodded, looking unexpected.
The Yuan Qi Grass looked still withered, but Yang Ji could feel that there was obviously a slight change compared to just now. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this vitality grass has been sucked up by the gatekeeper for more than ten years, and if you want to restore it to its former state, it is by no means possible overnight.
It is by no means something that Yang Ji can change with two drops of blood.
This is an extremely long process.
"I don't lack vitality for the time being, even if this vitality grass is fully absorbed, it can only improve by a section, and it can't reach the eighth level of martial arts. It's better to keep it first and cultivate it slowly. I'll take advantage of it later. ”
Yang Ji lowered his head, sat cross-legged on the treetops, and said secretly in his heart.
The vitality grass is now weakened, and if you swallow it now, you can't get it at all. It's better to slowly grow it in blood and wait until it's recovered. R1152
