Chapter 142: Hidden in the Mountains
When he said this, Chen Zhengyi took Wang Zhong and landed in front of a small cliff, this cliff was bare rocks, and there were small snowdrifts around it, and there was not the slightest vitality to see. In the leeward part of the cliff, there is a natural stone cave about one person high and three people wide.
Since Wang Zhong said that he would obey Chen Zhengyi's arrangement no matter how he walked along the way, he naturally did not refute and followed him into the cave.
The cave is about two zhang deeper, the inside is like a convex belly, there is a thickness of three zhang horizontally, the cave is clean and tidy, there is no slightest cold and damp, as if there are still people resting here. Otherwise, in the natural cave, there will always be some creatures of unknown origin occupying it, and the worst will be full of dust and mud, and it will definitely not be as clean as in this cave.
After entering the cave, Chen Zhengyi crushed his fingers very easily, and four sparks flew to the four corners of the cave, and in an instant, it was like four raging torches burning against the cave wall, and the light emitted illuminated the entire cave.
Without Wang Zhong inquiring, Chen Zhengyi, who had already discovered Wang Zhong's puzzled expression, had already opened his mouth and explained with a smile: "I stayed in this cave when I came last time, but I didn't expect it to be so well preserved, but it will save us from cleaning up." ”
Wang Zhong suddenly said: "I see. As he spoke, he casually found a clean place and sat down cross-legged, and looked around again, only to see that the surrounding mountain walls were full of potholes, and the strange rocks were protruding, and there was no beauty, so he asked: "This cave was dug by the Taoist himself?"
Chen Zhengyi shook his head and said: "No, there is a stone cave here, I just cleaned it up for use, I don't dare to dig it, although this place is still far from the avalanche-prone area, but just in case, it is better to make less big movements." ”
The avalanche is a major obstacle to their journey to the mountain, the snow on this mountain does not melt all year round, and I don't know how many layers are piled up, this tall white mother mountain looks majestic and majestic, but the white snow coat wrapped outside, how thick it is, no one knows.
The silence in the mountains, the sound of digging caves, is extremely easy to cause avalanches, so the cautious Chen Zhengyi has always been able to do less when climbing the mountain.
"Oh, I understand, Brother Chen Dao is really doing things safely!" Wang Zhong seemed to have an understanding of the praise.
Chen Zhengyi smiled and accepted it calmly, he has naturally always been cautious about such a matter related to his life. After all, this is not dealing with people, this is dealing with nature in heaven and earth. People can speak, they can communicate, they can use words to ease the situation, heaven and earth naturally don't care so much, the power of heaven is turbulent, what about the monks, they can't escape the same will fall.
Then he took out two spiritual lights in succession from his hand and landed on the top of the cave entrance, and these two spiritual lights must have turned into two palm-sized rune papers, which were pasted on the stone at the entrance of the cave.
Most of the small rune paper is suspended in the air, but the wind does not move, and the spiritual light flows from top to bottom like flowing water, as thin as silk threads, and converges into something like a waterfall and a curtain at the door, blocking the outside world. And these spiritual lights continue to flow downward, even as if they have penetrated into the earth, which is very unusual.
Wang Zhong saw the effect of these two runes at a glance, not only can they shelter from the wind and rain and prevent others from probing, but also have a certain warning function, once someone approaches and breaks in, the rune paper will immediately burn, and those spiritual lights will shake and burst.
"Brother Chen Dao, what does this mean?" asked Wang Zhong with some puzzlement.
In his opinion, the two of them rested here for a few hours, and when the true yuan mana was fully restored, they could go directly, and they could just arrange a little common protective formation outside, so why bother with these?
Chen Zhengyi explained with a smile: "Wang Daoyou doesn't know, this Baimu Mountain is nothing during the day, and there are always some troubles at night, so it's better to take some precautions." ”
Wang Zhong immediately asked, "There is no obvious spirit here, and there should be no powerful monsters and beasts around, right?"
Chen Zhengyi smiled: "That's Wang Daoyou, you didn't see it, these things are hidden from sleep during the day, and they only come out to do activities at night." Let's just say that in the cracks of the rocks in the belly of this mountain, there is a kind of white hairy cricket, although the individual strength is weak, you and I can crush to death with a finger, but as soon as it appears, it is thousands, like a tide from the crack of this stone seeps, all the living creatures encountered, can not escape the mouthparts and minions of this poisonous insect, and rarely accidentally it is gnawed away. ”
Wang Zhong was greatly surprised and said, "Could it be that these poisonous insects can still eat the monk's protective aura?"
Each monk himself will have a more or less protective aura, and ordinary small insects will not be able to break through this layer of defense at all.
Chen Zhengyi replied: "That's not true, but as soon as there are too many of these insects, the aura of protecting the body can't be stopped, and the most dangerous thing is that as long as you relax a little and are bitten by this bug, the injured place will immediately become numb and ignorant, and will not resist. ”
Wang Zhong suddenly frowned: "This is just here, there is such a murderous thing?
Chen Zhengyi said with a smile: "Who says it's not? But danger is also accompanied by benefits, although this white cricket has a ferocious habit, but there is a special toxin in the gland of this little thing that can be extracted, which can be used to refine some pain-relieving and wind-dispelling medicines, if it is encountered, it is also a lot of income." ”
Wang Zhong nodded, he could understand this, since the fierce beasts and monsters have produced a lot of useful things, otherwise in this world, there would not be so many monks who specialize in hunting demon beasts to live.
"Okay, let's rest for a while, recover the true yuan mana, and wait for dawn before we leave!" Chen Zhengyi continued.
This road did not stop for a moment, even if he was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, he was a little unbearable, the wind and snow on this Baimu Mountain were flowing back to snow, the cold wind gusted, and when he fled, it was already more energy-consuming than usual, and at this moment, he had consumed a lot of true yuan mana in his body, and he had to recuperate, and even take some pills to replenish his vitality.
"I have some self-refining One Qi Huiyuan Pill here, Daoist friends can come to some? Qi refining and foundation building can be taken, which can supplement a certain amount of True Yuan mana. ”
Wang Zhong only thanked him when he heard it, but he didn't want it, and it was useless for him to take it, and it would be bad to eat it, so he politely refused.
Chen Zhengyi didn't care, eating in the stomach, it is not normal to be cautious, this is all ordinary operation, there is nothing to taboo.
However, Wang Zhong asked again: "Why is the loss of true yuan mana not much on our way, and it is common for monks to secretly recognize things, why does Brother Dao insist on waiting until dawn?"
In his opinion, although it is said that there will be some unusual demon beasts at night, but the two of them just need to avoid it carefully, why bother to act like mortals, day and night, only if the consumption of true yuan mana is too large, they should find a place to rest.
