Chapter 389: Exploring Alone
The bright red moon still hung high.
Jiang Feng held the "Heart Lock Jade Formation Wrench" obtained from Xiao Mingzhen's ancestor Thousand Faces Shiso Zhenjun in his hand, and once again confirmed that the reaction of this magic weapon to the teleportation was completely consistent with the result of Fang Cai's attempt, although the wrench did not successfully stimulate the teleportation, but there was a weak spiritual feedback, which was enough to explain a very important matter.
It's not really a fantasy.
It is completely different from the "Scarlet Dream Realm" created by Liao Shencang, a prefecture-level monk of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, this place should be a real existence, but in any corner of the North Continent map, it is never marked. The weak reaction of the wrench finger was a signal that was too far away, and Jiang Feng had already witnessed this when he teleported back to the Ashala Sect from the Force Sect.
On the other hand, whether it is Li Dabang or Chen Kun, they have mentioned before, whether explicitly or implicitly, that they have the ability to shuttle here, if it is really an illusion, then this matter is absolutely unreasonable, and if it is a real existence, then it is a matter of means, Jiang Feng guessed that the two of them more or less knew the origin of the "Thousand Illusions", but the former's knowledge should come from the "Nine Old Men" Chief Li Zhenlong, the latter is from Wan Lao Mo, of course, Jiang Feng guessed that the latter might only know a little, after all, Wan Lao Mo's promotion to the pseudo-heaven level has not been too long, and it is impossible to know the real secret.
When the two of them arrived here and contacted themselves, they might be able to take the opportunity to set up a word or two to get a glimpse of the truth here, with such thoughts, Jiang Feng gave up the idea of exploring the truth alone, and focused on finding the secret treasure, but the stone forest here should not be suitable for breeding "Shuiyuan Blue Ji Flower", but it is a pity.
With all his spiritual power, the "Flying Boat Against the Wind and Wishes" traveled as fast as a swift wind, skimming over the stone forest that stood like pillars, and Jiang Feng soon found a slightly flat platform. After carefully feeling the aura around him, and not finding any traces of the living or spirit beasts, Jiang Feng and his two apprentices fell into the clouds and arrived in the center of the platform.
This is a stone platform with a square of 200 zhang, the jade-colored ground is smooth and flat, but there is no trace of artificial polishing, in the center of the stone platform, he found a six-foot-high earth-colored stone tablet.
Is it an inscription that records the origin?
Seeing from a distance that there seemed to be words on the stele, Jiang Feng, who had given up exploring the origin of this place, was hoisted again, and quickly flew a few steps, moving forward quickly, and when he reached the stele, he saw the words on it clearly:
Qiu Long of the Imperial Wind Sect visited here;
Zhou Shengyun of the Imperial Wind Sect visited here;
Chi Xin, the captain of the Red Dragon Gate, visited here;
Sun Bufang of the Imperial Wind Sect visited here;
......
Damn! These people are so boring!
He immediately started to look at it from the beginning, and found that among the twenty-three lines of messages, there were actually twenty monks from the Imperial Wind Sect, which showed this "Thousand Illusions" The access has been monopolized by the Imperial Wind Sect for a long time, and the monks of the other surrounding sects will only be invited to come occasionally, but with the split of the Imperial Wind Sect, the strength has weakened, and this expedition, there are many monks from other sects involved, and it is said that he is also the helper of this change, but why did the Imperial Wind Sect agree so easily, he still doesn't know, of course Jiang Feng knows how many catties and taels he has, and he knows that there must be something inside.
Twenty-three lines, if you don't consider that someone can travel in the illusion, and consider that the illusion is opened once in sixty years, then this "thousand illusions" has existed for at least more than a thousand years.
However, this kind of inference is useless for exploring here, Jiang Feng complained in his heart, sighed, and was about to leave, when his heart moved, and the spiritual power in his hand bloomed, leaving a line of words of the same size at the bottom:
Asakyama Zongjiang Feng came here for a visit;
It's all here, leave a name, Jiang Feng smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in his heart that he was not exempt from vulgarity, so he got up and flew again, and together with the two apprentices who were watching and exploring in the distance, along the direction they came, they explored the deeper part of this thousand-needle stone forest.
I wonder when Li Dabang will contact me?
Jiang Feng suddenly had this question in his mind, according to the agreement between the two before, he should have a few days before he can take action, and in the three days before this, he should arrange a teleportation circle and let Chen Kun teleport here, however, this stone forest has not yet been explored, but he should first find some gains, otherwise once he misses it, this Thousand Needles Stone Forest, I don't know if there is a chance to come again.
............
A thousand illusions, a swamp full of mud and fishy smell.
Li Dabang looked up at the sky, the red moon was still hanging high, although he had collected a lot of information here before, but it was the first time he really traveled here.
It is better to see it in person, this strong man's handwriting, it is really extremely clever, Li Dabang sighed for a moment in his heart, he had just used a flying carpet magic weapon under his body, a cursory view of this room, and reached the boundary of this room, a transparent barrier that does not know where the two sides lead, this is not because this illusion is too small, but he happened to teleport to near the border, so he easily discovered this place. Looking through this transparent barrier, one can find another illusion, a desert full of quicksand, and he is not
It's not that I don't have the means to go through, but I don't think it's necessary now.
Call!
Feeling the sound of his waist trembling, he took out a small black clock, which was only the size of a fist, and was engraved with intricate patterns that could not be seen through, and he only needed to stare at it for a moment, and he felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he deliberately avoided his gaze and only glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
"Are you still divining my location?"
Li Dabang said to himself, "I haven't given up yet." He then twisted his fingers again, dripping a few drops of blood, and the color of the little bell became more solid, and even had a tendency to absorb the light from the surrounding area.
"Then we just have to wait and see who is more patient. ”
Li Dabang simply sat down, letting the flying carpet float in the air, flying arbitrarily, thinking in his heart when the other party would stop divining his position, but the fluttering of the small bell only gradually slowed down, and did not completely stop, so he simply lay down.
Look who has more time, one drop for a hundred drops, frequent divination of me, see how much essence and blood you can consume!
In short, the agreement with Jiang Feng was on the fifth day, and there were still three days to waste. Li Dabang said in his heart, and immediately thought that since he came, he couldn't come in vain, in case there were some clues from the source spirit here, after all, it was the handiwork of a heaven-level powerhouse, maybe there would really be, thinking of this, he regained his spirits, made a flying carpet, chose a random direction, and galloped away.
............
The stalagmite in front of me has some value.
Jiang Feng carefully looked at the three-foot-high "green jade stalagmite" in front of him, this thing he recognized, it was a kind of third-order medium-grade material that was quite valuable, the size of this three-foot-tall should be worth about twenty third-order pieces, looking at the seven or eight traces of cutting next to it, it must have been broken by several pioneers who had left their names on the inscription before.
Sixty years to grow a new stalagmite is not bad.
Jiang Feng stepped forward and carefully rubbed it for a moment, and said in his heart that if he could take away the jade platform that gave birth to stalagmites, he should be able to make a small fortune, but looking at the degree of aura around him, thinking that even if he dug it up by the roots, the Qianshan Sect would not have a suitable place to cultivate, but it would be regarded as a violent destruction of heavenly things, so he gave up this unrealistic idea, presumably the reason why those previous monks did not do so was also out of the same consideration.
The stalagmites were extremely hard, so Jiang Feng used the black stone, cut it off, threw it into the storage bag, and then left here, but he immediately thought of one thing, since the black stone can freely shuttle through the underground world, can he use the help of walking underground to get out of the illusion here, if it is really feasible, then does he also have an additional means to explore this place?
Thinking so in his heart, he urged his spiritual power again and went straight in one direction, until three hours later, Jiang Feng ran head-on into an invisible object.
This is a transparent barrier, you can even penetrate here, see the situation on the other side, it is a lush mountain forest, there are seven or eight people hugging the giant tree towering in the middle, Jiang Feng tried to condense the spiritual power, gather into silk, and penetrate to the opposite side, but found that there was nothing, but there was a needle-like feedback power, piercing into his meridians, and the pain suddenly spread all over his body, almost falling from the flying sword.
Don't peep at yourself!
Jiang Feng immediately came to such a conclusion, Shi Shiran fell, but seeing that this barrier was perfectly connected with the ground, there was no gap, and he pulled it out with his hand, and the barrier still existed as expected, and the black stone condensed around his body, wrapped around his body, and went straight into the ground, and it was pitch black around him, until Jiang Feng used up most of his spiritual power and found that the barrier still existed.
Will it always exist?
He was thinking like this, but found that the barrier seemed to have an arc, so he walked in the direction of the barrier's bending, until the spiritual power was almost exhausted, there was still no sign of reaching the end, Jiang Feng knocked a few high-level Qi Returning Pills, and when the spiritual power was half recovered, he urged the black stone with all his strength, floating upward, and soon, he returned to the ground, only to find that it was only nearly a hundred zhang away from the place he had just dived into.
It seems that when you are underground, you seem to be misled by an invisible force, and the direction you are going in is not correct, which may indicate that if you have enough strength and are well prepared, such as with the help of a magic weapon that can identify the direction, you may be able to avoid this influence and really reach a boundary that can be penetrated.
But now doesn't seem to be the right time to try it. The two apprentices were summoned again, and the direction was identified and continued to move forward, and soon another mysterious place was discovered.
It was a pit with a circle of only a dozen feet, and at the bottom of the pit was filled with fine gravel the size of a thumb. These stones are unremarkable, like broken stone pillars, scattered and disorderly, but the wonderful thing is that there seems to be an icy spring under the stones, which occasionally infiltrates these stones, and leaves a small amount of water marks on the stones, and the mystery lies on this water mark.
This is no ordinary water mark.
Instead, it was slightly viscous, and in the gap between the next spring, it condensed into oval-shaped transparent beads, Jiang Feng didn't recognize what this thing was, he just felt
The seeds of the Spirit Valley were like transparent, and his intuition told him that this should be regarded as an extraordinary thing.
"Collect them one by one. Jiang Feng, who failed to absorb spiritual power, immediately discovered his advantage, and he had two good laborers by his side.
"Master, what is this?" Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but ask curiously, he also used his spiritual power, and found that just like what happened to Master Jiang Feng, his spiritual power would be absorbed by this wonderful thing like a grain of rice, and he would lose the strength to grasp it.
"I don't know, but it should be useful. Jiang Feng replied truthfully, squatted down, picked up a water-like particle from the gravel, and found that as long as he used a little force, the rice-like place would immediately collapse and become a white powder, which would immediately melt like a snowflake, and penetrate from the skin into the body, and integrate into the hole.
There is no feeling of comfort, but there is an obscurity that comes out of thin air and cannot be dissolved for a long time. Presumably, although this thing is rich in spiritual power, it cannot be absorbed directly, perhaps its purpose is not here.
"It's like rice, but it doesn't seem to be edible. Jiang Zhiwen put the thing on the tip of his nose and sniffed, somewhat disappointed, but he took the lead in collecting it, with two apprentices to help, Jiang Feng flew around, trying to explore the surroundings, but after traveling three or four miles, he didn't find anything special, and when he came back, he found that the two apprentices had already begun to collect the fourth round, but after picking three rounds, the number of "rice grains" was greatly reduced, presumably the spring, every time it gushes up, it will also re-melt the previous condensation.
In this way, six rounds were collected, and the three of them collected a total of five hundred and sixty grains, and each time they gushed after that, they could only occasionally generate a dozen grains or even less, and if they waited any longer, the harvest was not big, so Jiang Feng stored all the "rice grains" separately in a ring, which was especially necessary to ensure that his own items were not polluted by the categories that had not been identified.
After exploring for nearly a day, he got more than a dozen materials of average value, and when they accumulated, they could sell about fifteen third-order pieces, and in addition, the three of them got almost nothing, so it can be seen that this thousand-needle stone forest is not a high-value area in itself, Jiang Feng meditated for a while, restored the spiritual power in his body to a perfect state, and then accepted the apprentices Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Zhiwen, and solemnly took out a jade box with complex patterns.
This is the commission of Liu Canran, the elder of the inner gate of the Imperial Wind Sect, and the other party has additionally instructed that it can only be opened in this secret realm, although he doesn't know what mystery is contained in it, but there must be his reason.
Since he has already accepted the other party's affection, and even "forced" the other party to fulfill his promise in advance, Jiang Feng thought to himself that he must also fulfill his promise and achieve this matter, otherwise, it may become a knot in his heart, and maybe when he is promoted, it will turn into a demon obstacle in his heart and affect his own entry.
But then again, before the problem of erysipelas and Yipin Jindan is solved, there is no hope for his own avenue, even if he does not fulfill his promise, there must not be any big problems.
Scold!
Jiang Feng laughed at himself, the spiritual power in his hand bloomed, condensed on the seal, and the seal immediately loosened a little, Jiang Feng took advantage of the situation, and sacrificed a third-order water shield talisman that had already been prepared in his left hand, condensed it into a barrier around his body, and sacrificed a "giant wood barrier" to protect his body, only then did he shake off the jade box, and with the help of the spiritual power condensed into silk, the last trace of the seal was broken.
The surface of the jade box did not change, as if the pattern was just an ordinary inscription, and the moment it landed, a thumb-sized white pearl-like magic weapon rolled out of it.
Huh? What is this? How could Liu Canran give himself such a thing, Jiang Feng stepped forward cautiously, but did not remove the shield around his body, just waited for a few breaths, and then slowly stepped forward and used his spiritual power to pick up the white pearl, but found that there seemed to be complex patterns on it, as if cracks.
Accidentally fell?
Jiang Feng immediately denied his grotesque idea, and after careful observation, he found that this seemed to be a repaired imperfect broken magic weapon, but it should still work.
A look that can be used at least once.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small note inside the jade box. The spiritual power moved slightly, and the note curled and fluttered, and was sent to Jiang Feng's eyes.
"There is only one request, which is to carry this white pearl with you, not in a storage bag, until the Thousand Illusions is closed and the deal can be concluded. ”
This sentence was not signed, but Jiang Feng knew that it should be from Liu Canran.
What do you mean?Jiang Feng fell into deep thought.
............
A Thousand Illusions.
A large lake with almost no edge, the water waves sparkling in the moonlight, and the blood-colored waves stirred up by a lonely boat made Mu Qianxue, the head of the Imperial Wind Sect who explored the illusion here alone, feel uneasy.
She immediately felt a slight crunch in her sleeve, and her onion fingers poked into it, and she took out a black pearl-like magic weapon, and found that there was already a white spot of light on it.
My brother's follow-up seems to have worked, and even if something unforeseen happens, it will keep me safe......
I just don't know whose hands it is, she muttered to herself.
