Volume 1 The Worldly Rivers and Lakes Chapter 80 In the Clouds and Mountains
Yunwu Mountain is a dangerous place, the terrain is complicated, and there are many fierce creatures, since the gray ape has gone up the mountain, it is difficult to find it. Plus at this time, even if he catches up, I'm afraid that the child will also be served as a meal by the white ape. An Jiuweng sighed: "It's all gone, even if the white ape doesn't escape into Yunwu Mountain, it can't be chased." The sky is dark, there are many wild beasts, and if everyone rushes to explore, most of them will have an accident. ”
The old man sighed, and went to his house, and when he saw his back, there was much sorrow. Li Qingxuan asked, "Who is Xiaoqing?" Xu Tao replied, "An Jiuweng's granddaughter." Li Qingxuan was silent.
"Let's go, go back. Xu Tao sighed: "I don't know what happened, there has never been a murderous thing in the village for decades." Brother Li ......" He turned his head to look, and there was no trace of the scholar, and Xu Tao was stunned.
"Look at the direction where Xu Tao just returned, is it in the south, where is the Yunwu Mountain?" Li Qingxuan performed the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, his body was like a breeze blowing, and it seemed that the speed was not fast, but in fact, the distance of his one step was often just a step up and down, and he walked eight or nine feet away. What's even more amazing is that the speed is so fast, but it doesn't hit a single flower or tree.
With his sword in hand, he hurried through the woods. When he heard that a child had been taken away by the white ape, he had already put on his sword and prepared to go to the rescue. Today, the old man answered a lot of doubts for him, his words were cheerful, and his personality was good, and when he saw him, he sighed and asked everyone to go back, full of sadness. Looking at the desolate figure, Li Qingxuan really couldn't bear it, and his heart became more and more eager to save people.
"If I knew this, I should have chased after it during the day and beheaded the gray ape, I just hoped that the fierce ape would not have time to attack. "It's really strange, there have been no murderous creatures in the village for decades, but tonight? It's a pity that I'm meditating and don't pay attention to the surrounding movements, otherwise, I should have been able to find the white ape." Li Qingxuan walked like the wind, shrinking the ground into inches and exerting his full strength, running under his feet, as if he was leisurely, gently like the wind blowing through the treetops.
A mountain peak can be seen in the distance, stretching away. But Li Qingxuan already knew that this was the Cloud Mountain. There was a wind blowing in your face. The night was dark, so the wind was dark. The wind has no color, but there is dust and debris in it, so it has color. At night, the wind is naturally black.
This is an extremely normal thing, but in Li Qingxuan's eyes, it is extremely abnormal. The wind is black, not because the night is dark, nor because of other reasons, but because this wind is originally black. To be exact, the wind is gray. Li Qingxuan paused, a look of thought flashed in his eyes, and then spit out four words: "Spiritual veins are evil." ”
At the beginning, Pei Ge Lao was invaded by the evil qi of the spiritual vein, but he did not reach the place where the spiritual vein was sourced, and it was because of this that it was difficult to determine the exact location of the spiritual vein, but it was speculated that it was a few miles nearby. Li Qingxuan originally had doubts about this, but in the face of such a wind, the doubts in his heart were suddenly dissipated.
This gray wind, if it blows on ordinary people's bodies, most of them will be infected with diseases such as wind and cold, and Pei Gelao, an old man with an old body and who has never practiced martial arts, will be blown by this gray wind, and he will be hit by the evil spirit. The gray wind blows, and it makes people a little tired. Li Qingxuan used his innate true qi and finally resisted it.
The spirit veins were ahead, if not on the Cloud Misty Mountain, at least in the south direction. Li Qingxuan was a little excited, but at this time, he still caught up with the white ape and saved the child before it hurt the child, so it was the most important thing. Xu Tao only saw the white ape approaching Yunwu Mountain from afar, but he himself did not chase here.
Li Qingxuan is confident that he should be able to rush to Yunwu Mountain quickly with the use of 'shrinking the ground into inches', and it is not difficult to catch up with the white ape, but he is still not sure if he wants to save the person before the white ape goes down, after all, when he chases him, the white ape has already taken the people away, and most of them have already gone to Yunwu Mountain, and he may not be able to do it at this moment.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Li Qingxuan's eyes, and then he used the technique of shrinking the ground into inches and ran towards the Cloud Mist Mountain. This cloudy mountain is bare, some weeds have dried up, and some of the growing grass and trees are also scorched yellow and gray in color. The whole mountain seemed to be very gray, and there were some gray clouds on the mountainside.
"Where?" Li Qingxuan put his true qi in his eyes, looked all over the mountain, and saw no trace of the white ape. However, although the life on this mountain is withered, there are many dead trees and bad grass, which may be hidden. Li Qingxuan watched carefully, but still didn't find anything. But he saw a place, and it was a dark cave.
"Is it hiding here?" Li Qingxuan shrank into inches and came to the cave. The entrance of the cave is nearly two zhang in circumference, which is quite large, and the inside is deep and there is no end in sight. Li Qingxuan carried out his innate true qi, and when he looked inside, he felt that it was gray and misty, and it was difficult to see it really. But there was a wind blowing, with a slight chill, which showed that the inside was ventilated.
But this wind carries a bad aura!"Spiritual vein aura?" Li Qingxuan frowned. If you go into this cave, you may be able to find the source of the spiritual vein, the place where the evil qi is deep, but this kind of place may not be free from danger. Most of those murderous creatures came out of this.
If only before, Li Qingxuan knew where the evil qi was, it would have been enough, and then he would return to the village, with the help of the golden pill jade liquid, carefully practice for a period of time, and reach the realm of true qi release, and then come to build the foundation and cultivate the medicine, and cultivate to the realm of separation. But at this time, there is no room for consideration. The white ape had caught people inside.
Li Qingxuan thought for a while, and secretly thought to himself: "With my martial arts, I am not afraid of the great martial arts master. The white ape is definitely not my opponent, even if it drags its family, I am not afraid. If it were to have hundreds of tribes in the cave, then I would have to retreat, I would have shrunk into inches, and I could walk as long as I was not besieged. ”
The scholar was a master of art now, but it was necessary to be cautious, and he looked down at the bag containing the topaz bee. With this nest of ghost-headed king bees, even if there are really hundreds or thousands of white apes, they can actually not be afraid. With his mind in mind, he stepped into the cave. The cave was dark and cloudy, with gray wind, evil air, chill, and coldness.
He walked away in the cave, and he faded into the shadows. There was a click, like the sound of a dry branch breaking. Li Qingxuan thought that he had stepped on a dead branch, he looked down and stiffened slightly. It was a dry bone, Li Qingxuan's heart jumped, and then he took two steps back, he looked intently, and found that this was not like a human bone, it should be a bone like a deer and sheep, but it had become a dry bone for some years.
Li Qingxuan shook his head and walked forward again. He looked at the ground, and there were some palm prints, as if they had just been imprinted. "I've heard that apes and the like are good at climbing trees, and their soles are actually the same as the palms of their hands. In this way, these palm prints are about the footprints of the white ape. Li Qingxuan finally found a clue, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "It seems that he is not looking for the wrong place." ”
Li Qingxuan slowed down his steps and walked into the depths of the cave. The gray wind in the cavern blew again, hiding him in the gloom. There was a loud roar, like a tiger and a wolf, and suddenly it sounded. Li Qingxuan paused, leaned against the rock wall, and looked intently. Despite the fog in the cave, he could see clearly.
There was a big white tiger in front of him, his eyes were red, and under its claws he tore a black wolf, and a tiger's paw pressed the wolf's head, crushing the red wolf eyes into sauce, and then chewing it heavily. "In this cave, in addition to the white ape, there are really other murderous creatures?"
Li Qingxuan took a deep breath and thought, "It turns out that these murderous creatures with red eyes and black or white fur are not all of the same species. Although they are all fierce beasts, they will still fight and cannibalize each other, but they are as cruel as the outside world. ”
The cave is also very extensive, and there are some weeds and trees growing in it, as well as some natural caves. With these weeds and trees as cover, some weak and small beasts can survive in it with fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves. And some natural caves, large or small, have many occupied by ferocious beasts and act as nests.
Under the rock wall on the left side of the front, there is a small cave in the weeds, inhabited by two gray-haired and red-eyed rabbits, but these rabbits have sharp teeth and claws, and their appearance is fierce, not as gentle as ordinary rabbits. Li Qingxuan swept through with a sword and killed the two gray rabbits that sprang out of the grass on the spot.
Then another bat flew down and headed straight above him. This is a deadly bat that sits its on the skull and sucks blood from the human brain. Li Qingxuan's face was cold, and when the sword was raised, the bat had been split in half by him and fell to the ground. Following the footprints of the white ape, Li Qingxuan finally found a cave.
He turned into the cavern, and only two steps had he taken when he heard a voice in his ears. The sound whistled and passed by the ears. It was a pointed claw, like a human hand, but fluffy and covered with white hair, and its nails were extremely sharp. Li Qingxuan looked at it, it was indeed the white ape during the day.
The white ape's face was fierce, grinning, revealing a mouth full of fangs, its red eyes exuded a violent color, and it pounced on Li Qingxuan. Since Li Qingxuan found it, he didn't leave his hand anymore, his face was like frost, and his true qi filled the sword body of the green steel sword, and he swung the sword down, suddenly like lightning, like thunder.
A secret sword that swept away a lot of gray qi. The white ash ape froze, and there was a crack in its skull, and it fell. Li Qingxuan held the sword in his hand and walked towards the depths of this cave. This is the habitat of the white ape, which is completely different from the passage outside, and it is a little narrower.
Li Qingxuan entered the innermost room, but he didn't see any children, nor did he see fresh blood, he frowned and said to himself: "Where is An Jiuweng's granddaughter?" "If I knew this, I should have left the white ape, but it was useless to stay, it didn't understand human language, and it couldn't force a confession." ”
Li Qingxuan thought secretly: "After all, I didn't see the body, and I didn't see any trace, so something might have happened." He tried his best to think on the good side, and at last he felt better, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw some clothing on the edge of the cave. It was a fragment of a piece of clothing, but it wasn't a child's clothes.
Li Qingxuan stepped forward and found that in addition to these rags, there were some things. One of the things is a token, and the front of the token is engraved with the words Si Tiantai. "Si Tiantai's token?" Li Qingxuan looked at the token carefully, and with a little guess, he had already guessed something.
