Volume 1: Legacy Chapter 28: The Trap
Jing Shaoling left Danyang City, traveled west along Danshui, according to the map given by Huang Yaoshi, all the way through Daxian County, crossed Heling, and finally arrived at a Gobi Desert after the fifth day.
When you get here, you will not be far from the Yellow Sand Valley, and you only need to go 200 miles to reach the Yellow Sand Valley, which is in the depths of the Gobi Desert, as long as a day's journey.
Jing Shaoling released the war horse back to Heling and walked into the Gobi Desert on foot, although he had never been to this place, but it has been famous for a long time.
This Gobi Desert belongs to the border area between Qin and Chu, because it is rich in blue jade, also known as Lantian. This place is less than 300 miles away from the military town of Qin "Wuguan", in 300 years ago, the allied forces of Chu and Qi had walked this way to reach Wuguan, the shocked Qin monarchs and ministers were frightened, because there was no danger to defend after Wuguan, and then thousands of miles was Xuanyang City, the capital of Qin.
Fortunately, the combined forces of Chu and Qi did not capture Wuguan back then, otherwise there would be no Qin State today.
However, since then, the Qin State has paid more and more attention to this Gobi, and after hundreds of years of operation, the entire Lantian Gobi has been built into countless military stations, and there is one in dozens of miles, and the army gathers, and this place has become the battlefield of the war between Chu and Qin.
There are also countless Qin sect monks patrolling here, and it can be said that it is difficult for mosquitoes to enter.
However, it is not without loopholes, Heling stretches for thousands of miles, tall and steep, and there is the Chu army guarding here, it is difficult for the Qin army to completely defend, so it is also the only way to enter the Lantian Gobi from Heling.
Jing Shaoling is over the Heling Mountains, this time to go to the Yellow Sand Valley to steal the Yang Grass can be described as dangerous, a careless will be discovered by the Qin army, when the monk chases and kills with the assistance of the army, he will be dangerous.
After all, his current cultivation has not yet reached the point of dominating the world, even if the foundation building monk is under siege, it is still a dead word.
However, Captain Liu Dao must be saved, his return to Yingdu is just a trivial matter, the key is that Liu Dao is his father's former subordinate, he has to be saved, a lieutenant is in charge of an army, he is a powerful person, and it is worth Jing Shaoling to win over. Presumably, he will be more loyal to Wuyang Houfu in the future, which is the only thing that Jing Shaoling has done for his father so far.
Before entering the Lantian Gobi, Jing Shaoling took the Hidden Pill given by Huang Yaoshi, this pill was really extraordinary, and as soon as he swallowed it, it worked, and the blood and qi in his body became weak.
This kind of weakness is just an illusion, in fact, his qi and blood have not weakened in the slightest, but they have converged deeper, there is no fluctuation of qi and blood like a rainbow, and the aura of the dantian in his body is stored in the silver butterfly egg, even if there is a monk here, it is difficult to see that he is a monk, and he will only be regarded as a mortal.
"It works well!"
Jing Shaoling nodded with satisfaction.
This Hidden Pill greatly enhanced his aura concealment, as long as he was careful, he should not be discovered by the monks of the Qin State.
Identifying the next direction, Jing Shaoling quickly ran towards the depths of the Gobi, with a magic talisman attached to his leg, which was extremely fast.
After walking less than a cup of tea, a military station appeared in front of him, countless soldiers gathered there, and there were two monks sitting there on the watchtower in front of the military station, from time to time they offered flying swords to circle around, and used a compass-like magic weapon to monitor the surroundings, faintly fluctuating across a radius of more than ten miles.
Jing Shaoling hid in a rocky corner, holding his breath, his breath constricted to the extreme, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
These two monks were actually able to fly with a sword, judging from the breath, they were not a foundation monk, and the flight of the foundation monk's sword would attract the aura of heaven and earth, and it was impossible for him not to detect it, so there was only one reason.
These two monks are at least the eighth-layer monks of the condensation of qi, and only the monks of the eighth-layer of condensation are extremely condensed and integrate the essence and blood into the special flying sword to be able to urge the magic sword to fly, which seems to be a bit tricky.
The military station spans dozens of miles, it is difficult to bypass from other places, once they are exposed to the open area, the two monks will definitely find that they can only fight head-on at that time, but in this way, they will expose themselves, and when the time comes, the Qin army will definitely be under martial law within a radius of a hundred miles, and it will be difficult for them to reach the Yellow Sand Valley.
Looking at the sky, it was already dusk, and Jing Shaoling had to wait until it was dark and waited for an opportunity to pass through.
Soon, it was dark, the opposite military station began to light torches, the soldiers at the gate of the military station gradually decreased, and began to close the camp, one of the two monks seemed to have something to leave, Jing Shaoling knew that the opportunity had come, and began to crawl towards the military station.
Although the monk on the watchtower was not as cautious as during the day, he often used the compass to radiate the surroundings, and Jing Shaoling was still a little worried that he would be discovered, but when the hidden power swept over him, the monk was indifferent, and then he understood that the hidden pill had an effect. Unexpectedly, he didn't find that there was a stranger approaching the military station, Jing Shaoling urged the starlight to quietly pass through the watchtower without a trace, and hid under the rejection horse of the military station, dozens of meters away from him, two soldiers were on duty, and at this time it seemed that some abnormalities had been discovered.
"Hey, I feel something is wrong with the old horse, it seems that there was a gust of wind blowing just now, could it be that the enemy touched in?"
A soldier asked his companion.
"Wind? there is no wind on this Gobi Desert one day, here is a military station, a large army gathers, and there are two immortal masters guarding it, how can the enemy touch in, I think you are tired of playing in the kiln yesterday, and your body is weak and dizzy!"
The other soldier smiled narrowly.
"you, you're weak!"
The soldier punched his companion and said with a look of feigned anger on his face.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, we can go back to the camp in two hours, I have a jar of soju there, will I drink some later?"
"That's good, hey, it's cold!"
The two soldiers chatted with each other, and their vigilance gradually dissipated.
Jing Shaoling listened to their words, and couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, and as soon as his body moved, he turned over the horse and slipped to a camp tent, first swept the camp tent with his spiritual consciousness, and found that there was only one person inside, so he immediately got into it without hesitation.
At this time, there was a person who looked like an officer was drinking, and when he saw Jing Shaoling coming in, he couldn't help but be taken aback, first stunned and then about to call someone, where could Jing Shaoling make him alarmed, and instantly deceived him close and covered his mouth, the officer was about to resist, Jing Shaoling's eyes showed murderous intent, and suddenly his hands were forced, and his neck was twisted and he suddenly broke his breath.
Jing Shaoling stripped off the officer's armor, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the camp, because he was wearing a helmet, it was dark, and he met several patrolling soldiers, who did not suspect him, and saluted him very respectfully.
There was no danger along the way, Jing Shaoling got out of the military station, and then ran forward quickly, and after running for fifty miles, he relaxed, took off the armor on his body, and continued to move in the direction of Huangsha Valley.
It won't be long before the men at the station will find out that the officer is dead, and there will definitely be a large-scale manhunt, and he will have to hurry and race against time.
Fortunately, the Yellow Sand Valley is located in a quicksand forbidden place in the Gobi Desert, where there is no army stationed, and after passing the previous military station, it will be unobstructed all the way, and Jing Shaoling will run the starlight to escape all the way, and it will be near the Yellow Sand Valley in less than an hour.
This place is a forbidden place for mortals, and the unstoppable quicksand is enough to swallow people, but for him as a cultivator, it is like walking on the ground, and after thirty miles of quicksand forbidden land, he came to a barren valley.
This valley is the Yellow Sand Valley, extremely barren, although it is dark at night, but with the help of the starlight in his body, Jing Shaoling can still see very clearly, but when he stepped into the valley, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
This dark crisis alerted him, could there be any crisis in it?
Jing Shaoling hesitated, carefully swept the valley with his spiritual consciousness, but found nothing.
"It's all here, Huanyang grass must be found, be careful, it should be fine. ”
Thinking like this, Jing Shaoling walked into the valley without hesitation.
This valley is quite large, rectangular, and the grass doesn't know where it is, so I have to walk all the way forward, at this time a proud voice sounded in the valley: "Sure enough, it's coming, haha, you're throwing yourself into the net!"
As soon as the voice fell, five monks descended from the sky, blocking his path.
Jing Shaoling was taken aback, no wonder there was a sense of crisis just now, it turned out that someone was ambushing here.
With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he found that one of the foundation building monks and the four monks of the eighth layer of condensing qi were all holding magic weapons and looking at him with a sneer, like looking at a lamb.
"Who are you, and how did you know I was here?"
Jing Shaoling showed a defensive posture and asked vigilantly.
"Who are we, naturally we are the monks of the Qin Kingdom, you kid is cautious enough, fortunately, Uncle Yang has a magic weapon to shield the breath, otherwise you will be detected, the body refiner is really sensitive and abnormal!"
A young monk with an eighth-layer condensation said.
Jing Shaoling's heart sank, there was a chance that there were traitors among the monks in the Governor's Mansion, revealing his whereabouts, but fortunately, there was a foundation building monk and four Qi Condensing monks, and he could deal with it.
"Hmph, it seems that someone in the Duwei Mansion has become a traitor, but I am strange that I, a body refining cultivator, can actually attract a foundation building monk, you really look up to me!"
Jing Shaoling said coldly.
"For the sake of you being the son of Wuyang Hou, I'll go on a trip, and I have made a lot of meritorious contributions in your sect, but it's worth it!"
The foundation building monk said indifferently.
"Sure enough, even my identity is known, it looks like there is really a traitor!"
Jing Shaoling's face was extremely gloomy.
"Elder Yang is talking nonsense with him, catch him!"
The young monk shouted.
Monk Zhuji's face showed a hint of displeasure, and he was about to attack, but he seemed to think of something, but he didn't blame the young monk, but said to Jing Shaoling: "Are you tied up, or do you want me to do it, I advise you to choose the former, otherwise you will suffer!"
"Hmph! If you have the ability, even if you let the horse come, why be ashamed to talk here!"
Jing Shaoling said disdainfully, and immediately the starlight escaped, and actually rushed towards the five people, bursting with strong qi and blood on his body, like a fierce beast.
"Bold!"
The Zhuji monk shouted violently, the enemy dared to look down on himself so much, he couldn't help but be furious, the aura of the Zhuji cultivation was vigorous, and a great pressure was used towards Jing Shaoling, and at the same time, the dust in his hand was shaken, and it turned into three thousand silver filaments and rolled towards him.
"Meteor Fist, break it for me!"
The innate strength suddenly exploded, and the starlight was urged in the surging qi and blood, and Jing Shaoling blasted towards the Zhuji monk with a punch.
The two starlights turned into dragons, colliding with the dust in an instant, and the huge force strangled the dust into pieces in an instant, and continued to bombard the other party with inexhaustible strength.
"No, my magic weapon!"
Monk Zhuji let out a burst of rage, spurting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and retreating again and again.
Seeing that the starlight continued to attack, the Zhuji monk pinched the magic in his hand, and a high-level spell cold ice shield was condensed, and the starlight collided on the cold ice shield, splitting the cold ice shield apart, but at this time, it was also exhausted and finally dispersed.
The Zhuji monk's face sank like water, this magic weapon was destroyed as soon as he clashed, and he was slightly injured, he undoubtedly lost a big face, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, give me a ride!"
The four Qi Condensing Monks were stunned by Jing Shaoling's explosive combat power at this time, and when they heard the Zhuji Monk shouting angrily, only then did a stirring reaction, and three of the monks surrounded him, but the young monk from before did not step forward, but cautiously took a few steps back.
"The body refiner is actually strong enough to fight against the foundation building monk, it seems that he used secret techniques. ”
The young monk thought silently, and suddenly his eyes lit up and shouted: "Boy, you can fight with Elder Yang, what kind of secret technique should you use, now obediently surrender and hand over your secret technique, I can guarantee to spare your life!"
"Spare my life, okay, thank you!"
Jing Shaoling sneered, and immediately stepped forward and crashed into a monk.
Seeing him rushing over, the monk hurriedly raised the scimitar magic weapon in his hand and slashed at him, while the other two took the opportunity to cast a spell and smashed at him, and a fireball and earth spear instantly condensed and killed Jing Shaoling's back.
At the same time, the foundation building monk calmed down, sacrificed a flying sword, cast a spell, and prepared to slash towards Jing Shaoling.
"Hmph!
The young monk's face darkened, and he took out a fan magic weapon, and was about to make a move.
"Bang!"
The scimitar slashed at Jing Shaoling's body and made a crashing sound, but it did not break his body, the monk couldn't help but be a little frightened, at this time Jing Shaoling's body crashed over, and the huge force instantly smashed his internal organs, and the bones clicked straight away, like a sandbag thrown into the distance.
At this time, the fireball and earth spear technique arrived, these two spells Jing Shaoling did not dare to resist, relying on the starlight escape method to avoid the danger and danger, the fireball and earth spear smashed into the valley, and suddenly made a violent rumbling sound.
"Look for death!"
Jing Shaoling turned around, his eyes surging with murderous intent, and when the two monks didn't react, he instantly approached his fists and attacked, "Bang bang!" The two monks walked in front of the previous monk, and fell ten zhang away with blood, motionless.
Killing three monks in an instant, Jing Shaoling was like a barbaric ancient beast, revealing incomparably fierce flames.
The young monk was suddenly startled, and did not dare to make any more moves, so he hurriedly stepped back, exclaiming, "Monster, monster, Elder Yang save me!"
"Run, escape?"
Jing Shaoling urged Starlight to escape and chase after him.
"Presumptuous!"
The monk surnamed Yang shouted violently, extremely angry, and raised his flying sword in his hand like a meteor towards Jing Shaoling.
Jing Shaoling didn't dare to be careless, so he had to give up the pursuit, and his body quickly dodged to the side, and the flying sword instantly slashed on the cliff wall of the valley, cutting down countless gravel and bursts of smoke and dust.
"Look how you hide!"
The monk surnamed Yang continued to manipulate the flying sword and continued to slash with lightning speed.
Jing Shaoling was shocked, this flying sword was so sharp, he would never dare to use his body to contend with his body, even if he reached the realm of impurity and used starlight to refine his body, it was estimated that he couldn't help but slash this flying sword.
Hide, hide, hide!
Jing Shaoling urged the starlight to the extreme, and kept dodging in the valley, the sword light was invincible, cutting the valley to pieces, rubble like rain, smoke and dust, Jing Shaoling dodged dozens of times in an instant in a narrow range.
At this time, his qi and blood were a little weak, and Jing Shaoling began to feel a little out of breath.
The foundation building monk is no better, manipulating the flying sword like this, the spiritual energy in his body is depleted very quickly, if he can't take the other party in a cup of tea, he will have to consider retreating.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "Where did the demon come from, is this still a body refiner in the Qi Condensation Period?"
When Jing Shaoling dodged his slash again, Monk Zhuji couldn't help but withdraw his flying sword, his face turned extremely red, and shouted: "Boy, you forced me!"
The aura in his body suddenly soared, and as soon as his hands were closed, an ice dragon suddenly appeared: "Ice Dragon Kill!"
The Tsukiji monk shouted violently, and with a little finger, the ice dragon roared down instantly, and the temperature in the valley suddenly dropped sharply, and snowflakes began to appear.
"It's not good, this is a second-order spell Ice Dragon Kill!"
Jing Shaoling's face changed, and he was very anxious.
The second-order spell can only be cultivated by a foundation building monk, and it is extremely powerful, this monk surnamed Yang seems to have all his hole cards, and he will not give up if he does not kill him.
"Fight!"
Jing Shaoling's face showed a look of madness, the blood veins all over his body spurted, the blood pill in his heart suddenly burst, turning into rolling blood qi pouring into the meridians, the fierce blood qi roared on his body, and the top of his head revealed blood-red light.
"Star Killer Finger!"
Jing Shaoling's mind poured out the operation method of the Star Destroying Finger, and the spiritual consciousness forcibly condensed the line of the Star Destroying Finger, and countless starlight surged in the eight points in his body, and finally gathered on Jing Shaoling's index finger, and then moved forward fiercely.
A ray of starlight turned into a cold light and flew towards the ice dragon at a rapid pace......
"Boy, you still want to resist stubbornly, this is Elder Yang's nirvana, the second-order spell Ice Dragon Kill, you just wait to become an ice sculpture!"
The young monk said viciously at this time, Jing Shaoling frightened him just now.
"Well, if you dare to resist, it's just a floating tree!"
Seeing that Jing Shaoling still dared to resist, the monk surnamed Yang couldn't help but show a contemptuous sneer.
