Chapter 433: The Waterhole
As he walked all the way north, the sixteen peaks of Tianchi were in the field of vision from far to near, and after a few days, Mo Ghost finally arrived at the bottom of the outermost Wolong Peak of Tianchi.
The snowfields in the north are empty and silent, and there are not many people who meet them, but the closer you get to Tianchi, the more lively it is, especially the outermost Wolong Peak, which is the closest mountain range to Shuangquan Town and directly connected to Tianchi.
The terrain here is relatively flat, but the peak body is uneven, and it is the longest of the sixteen peaks, and there are many monsters that survive.
The first choice for many monks in the town to hunt monsters is here, and there is a fang market at the foot of the mountain, where many monks gather to sell some commonly used necessities, but the price is several times more expensive.
Of course, there is no force in charge here, and there are many things to rob houses, and whether they can be sold for a good price depends on whether the monks who sell them can keep it.
Mo Ghost is alone, his strength is weak, and his current cultivation is only in the Qi refining period, so he naturally doesn't dare to hold it up, and wears a jade pendant that hides his cultivation, as long as his divine sense is not higher than her, his cultivation will not be detected.
Like her, there are many monks who go directly to Tianchi, and they all come here, wanting to try their luck, try to see Tianchi, and collect some Tianchi water.
Passing through the city, I roughly swept it through, and walked to the peak without staying too long.
At the bottom of the mountain, several iron chains towered into the sky, and some monks walked up the chains, and soon disappeared.
"What is this?" asked Xiaobai in a low voice.
"The Heavenly Cableway," Mo Ghost explained, walking towards the chain, "From here, you can directly reach the Tianchi at the top of the mountain, it only takes half a day, if you walk from the mountain peak, you will need to dodge the demon beasts and monks along the way. โ
It is said that it is a ropeway, which is only a few chains, located on the steepest side of the entire mountain, and is connected to the top, so that the monks can directly reach the heavenly pool.
Mo Ghost stepped forward, came to the chain on the very edge, controlled the red silk on his right wrist, circled the chain under his feet, returned to his hand, stepped on it and tried it, and then walked up with the power of the red silk.
"Why do you need to fix it?"
The little fox was puzzled, as a monk, it was not good to walk directly from above, so why did he need to borrow strength? But seeing that the monks around him were all doing this, it looked strange, so it had to whisper to Mo Ghost and ask.
"There are so many people here, who knows if there will be enemies or bad intentions, they are suddenly pushed down, and there is very little time to react, so it's better to be just in case," Mo Ghost carefully controlled the balance of his body and slowly walked up, "In the Northland, you can't easily trust any strangers." โ
Fortunately, the road of Mo Ghost was quite smooth, and he reached the top of the mountain near noon, but looking at the few people, he knew that Tianchi did not appear.
"This is Tianchi?" the little fox poked his head out.
"Hmm," Mo Ghost walked forward for a distance, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he saw the Tianchi surrounded by mountains.
At this time, the Tianchi is just a pit, there is an obvious gap in the northwest corner, whenever the water in the pond appears, the water level accumulates, and the water will flow down from the gap, which is called the Tianchi Waterfall, and the monks who want to seize the water of the Tianchi will wait in the downstream of the waterfall.
"Let's go down and see!" the little fox looked at the pit.
There are many monks below who are investigating something, and when Mo Ghost heard the little fox's words, he walked forward and went down the arc into the pit.
"Shhh
As soon as he came in, the little fox hissed from the cold, the temperature here was more than ten times lower than that on the top of the mountain, and the spiritual power was not of much use at all, only feeling that it exuded coolness from the inside out.
"The cold in the heavenly pond is abnormal, especially when the water in the pond accumulates, even the god cultivators can't go down easily," Mo Ghost only felt a chill in the dantian, and the aura carried a cold aura when it passed along the meridians, "So I usually wait at the exit of the waterfall." โ
"It's really strange, it's so cold here, why doesn't the pool water freeze?" The little fox's fur looked even better than that of Mo Ghost.
"I don't know," Mo Ghost exhaled, forming a mist of water on the side of his mouth, "The pool water is inside and outside the outlet, it is two temperatures, and when there is pool water in the pit, you can't enter it at all, and there is no way to explore it," she squatted down and slammed the ground with her fingers, and immediately retracted it.
The cold air entered the body along the fingertips, and I only felt that the sea of consciousness was agitated, and there was a stinging pain from time to time.
"There is no pattern in the appearance of the water in the pool, and the rocks here have no obvious voids, they are abnormally hard, and there is no exact word as to where the water came from to now," Mo Ghost shook his hand, which became a little stiff because of the cold, "Let's get out of here first." โ
Stepping on the top of the mountain, all the cold disappeared in an instant, and if it weren't for the cold on your hands, you would almost think it was an illusion.
While running his spiritual power to expel the cold on his body, Mo Ghost walked around the peak of Wolong Peak, and after not noticing anything abnormal, he went down the path and turned to the mountain range next to him halfway.
"What are we doing?" asked the little fox when there was no one around.
"Go find a small hot spring. โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
"Whoosh!"
Mo Ghost turned sideways, dodging the oncoming monster of unknown kind, the red silk in his hand spread out, blocking behind him, only the size of a raised fist on it, and if you look closely, you can see the tentacles above your head.
The spirit of this demon beast is obviously not high, Mo Ghost Ghost took advantage of the situation to wrap it inside, took out a silver needle in his hand, and stabbed it on the head of the demon beast, but there was no movement for a moment.
"Dead?" the little fox jumped over and pulled the red silk away, "This one is too stupid!"
"Compared to what I encountered before, it's really a little stupid," Mo Ghost also walked over, squatting down and looking at this demon beast, "How to say that it is also a fourth-order." โ
In the past month, Mo Ghost has been circling around the Tianchi Waterfall, on the one hand, he is naturally waiting for the appearance of Tianchi, and on the other hand, he is looking for a small hot spring that exists alone, and he has to be in the same vein as Tianchi.
Naturally, it is necessary to explore various hidden small caves, and also encounter many strange monsters, even with the help of little foxes, it is not easy to deal with them.
"It's the most ordinary demon beast in the bloodline, like a flying insect, and if you can advance to the fourth order, I'm afraid there is a bit of a chance," Mo Ghost pinched the hind legs of this demon beast and looked at it in front of him, "And there is a high probability that it is non-poisonous." โ
"Could it be that you will be promoted because of the aura in the hot spring?" The little fox's eyes lit up, except for provoking a lot of hibernating demon beasts this month, the hot spring had no shadow at all.
"Let's go first. "Mo Ghost also has this idea, if this flying insect didn't suck some heavenly treasures, it was very likely that it was because of the hot springs in this place, and forcibly raised its cultivation to a few levels.
However, it is a pity that its spiritual intelligence has not kept up, and even if it encounters a foundation building monk of the same rank, it will be difficult to survive.
With this in mind, the awl in Mo Ghost's hand continued to aim at the entrance of the cave, and the aura smashed down the awl, and immediately pried off a piece of gravel. This cave is not big, and this is the only way to enter.
The entrance to the outside is even more hidden, in the gap between the two peaks, if it weren't for the little fox being small enough to accidentally fall down, you wouldn't be able to see it.
Now it's dark outside, the formation has been guarded up, and there are illusion bells hanging there, so you don't have to worry about anyone noticing, the sound of jingling bells is endless, and a man and a beast are slowly exploring inside along the narrow gap.
"What if there is no gap?" After digging for an hour, the little fox jumped into a small cave that was no bigger than it, and looked around, but there was no way here.
"There is no aura of heaven and earth treasure here," Mo Ghost's meaning is obvious, if the demon beast has no chance, it is impossible to advance to the fourth order, but the fact is that there is such a small cave here, it is really strange.
"Why?" muttered the little fox, paws clawing up and down.
Mo Ghost's different pupils opened, looking at this small cave, surrounded by boulders, there was not even a gap, and there was no trace of the formation, at a glance, could she think wrong, it was really just an ordinary cave?
Not to mention Mo Ghost, even the little fox didn't believe it, and they searched cautiously for most of the night, but found nothing at all.
"Forget it, let's go, there is nothing abnormal in this cave," Mo Ghost carefully rummaged through this small cave for the last time, and only after confirming that there was nothing abnormal before he said, "It may be an opportunity to come here again from other places." โ
"Really?" the little fox pouted, still a little unwilling, but he really couldn't find anything, so he still followed behind Mo Ghost and returned the same way.
It didn't stand on Mo Ghost's shoulder, it jumped and shuttled through the narrow cave by itself, and when it passed by a certain place, it suddenly stopped, its eyes blinked, and it suddenly lay on the stone wall in the cave.
"What are you doing?" Mo Ghost looked back at it strangely.
"Shhhhh โ
Hearing what it said, Mo Ghost also leaned over and looked at this stone wall, there were indeed cracks on it, but when he first came in, he was chiseled all the way, and naturally there was no need for the destroyed places, but he couldn't see anything.
The little fox was more serious than ever, leaning against the stone wall to concentrate, and finally heard the sound of 'drip', "Here it is, I heard it!"
"Are you sure?" Mo raised his eyebrows and reached out to push.
The divine consciousness in these peaks cannot pass through, and simply relying on hearing, Mo Ghost and a monk are naturally no match for the little fox, a demon beast.
"Yes!" the little fox scratched its paws, but only a shallow mark remained.
Seeing this, Mo Ghost took out an awl and stuck it in the crack, and used this as a base point to shatter the entire stone wall, revealing a crack.
Seeing this, the little fox immediately went into the gap, sniffed around, and ran out again pinching his nose and said in disgust, "This is it, and the smell left by the demon beast just now, it must have come over!"
"I'll go back and buy you meat to eat!" Mo Ghost's eyes lit up, patted the little fox, and continued to destroy the stone wall with an awl, walking inside along the crack.
For about a quarter of an hour, the little fox reminded that Mo Ghost himself had heard the sound of water droplets, and suddenly sped up, and finally at the moment when a boulder shattered, he heard an extremely clear sound of water droplets falling.
Mo Ghost took out the moonstone from the storage bag and illuminated this small cave, which was only a few square meters, and the inside of the boulder in the middle was recessed, forming a pool of water.
"Is this the water of the Heavenly Pond?" the little fox jumped over and looked up at the gap where the water was seeping.
"It should be," Mo Ghost pulled out a hairpin from the top of his head, opened the external decoration, and the inside was hollow, scooped a little water, first sniffed it, and then dipped his finger a little, "The one that Zhen Hao brought back to me is much richer." โ
No matter how precious the container is used to hold the water of the Heavenly Pond, over time, the aura contained in it and some kind of spiritual object that can heal the wounds will dissipate little by little.
In the process of Zhen Hao's cultivation in the north, he was lucky enough to encounter Tianchi water once, and he saved a lot of it in a container, and he kept it for many years, and when he brought it back to Mo Ghost, the aura during it had already dissipated a lot.
"But it's really Tianchi water," Mo Ghost's eyes flashed with brilliance.
"But didn't you say that you were looking for a hot spring?" the little fox's paw reached down, and the cold touch made it immediately retract.
"It can only be said that there are mostly hot springs, gushing out from the cracks of the mountain peaks," Mo Ghost looked at the beach here, saying that it is not too much, and it is not too little, but I don't know if it is enough for the seniors, "but such situations are also recorded, but they are relatively rare." โ
"Oh," the little fox said, stretching out his voice, "if I hadn't heard the water, I wouldn't have found this place!"
"This time I will give you the first credit, and I will buy you whatever you want to eat when you go back!" Mo Ghost patted it, this kind of waterhole hidden between the stone walls, except for the spirit beast of the little fox, it is difficult for the monk to find, "Go and call the master over first!"
The little fox grinned and jumped out, and Mo Ghost stayed behind to continue to watch the pond.
After a while, Xiang Xuehai's figure appeared from the crack, and he also looked at the pool water with a surprised face, and directly took the hairpin in Mo Ghost's hand, "Interesting, the pool water here, the concentration of aura is not low." โ
"Are these enough for the seniors to recover?" Mo Ghost stood aside.
"That's enough!" Xiang Xuehai said, taking out the ice coffin out of nowhere, "The aura is strong, which means that there are a lot of healing substances in it," she put Qian Sanqian's body into the pool water, just half of her body didn't pass.
"What's more, it's not still dripping down on it, but it's much more useful than a hot spring," Xiang Xuehai adjusted his position and dripped water on his dantian.
Seeing this, Mo Ghost took out the bamboo flute, and after getting Xiang Xuehai's affirmation, he released the soul of his predecessor, which also had a pale green fluorescence on it, which was the elixir that had not been completely absorbed before.
The soul was controlled by the Mo Ghost and came to the body, and when it got closer, it entered the body of the predecessor uncontrollably.
"That's it?" the little fox walked away.
"It's still early," Xiang Xuehai hugged his arms and looked at Mo Ghost, "Are you going to build a foundation?"
"Yes," Mo Ghost nodded, not surprised that she could see it, she was thinking of finding a hot spring, who knew that she would accidentally find such a pool.
"Dig a secret room here, let's go into retreat first, I'm afraid we're going to have to stay here for a while. โ
