Chapter 292: Climbing the Stairs (1)
Chen Jingzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Ning Xiaotang frowned slightly: "Isn't there even the slightest clue?"
Chen Jingzhi sighed and said, "For decades, our Kunlun Sect has been looking for the Kunlun Snow Devil's lair. But the Kunlun Mountains are so big, stretching for 5,000 miles from east to west. With such a large area, it is impossible for us to search every corner of the Kunlun Mountains with the manpower of our Kunlun Sect alone. ”
Ning Xiaotang nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
Immediately, he asked again: "Then do you know why the Kunlun Snow Demon robbed human women?"
Chen Jingzhi: "Our Kunlun faction has speculated on this matter, and the Kunlun Snow Demon may be able to improve its strength by intercourse with a human woman." ”
Ning Xiaotang was stunned: "Isn't this similar to what some people in the evil path did?"
Chen Jingzhi: "We are sure. And we also found that the Kunlun Snow Devil is not low in intelligence, and it can even be comparable to human children. ”
Hearing this, Ning Xiaotang was slightly silent, always feeling that behind this Kunlun Snow Demon, there seemed to be a black hand manipulating.
At this moment, one of the middle-aged men of the five members of the Kunlun faction suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and the whole person staggered, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to even stand.
"Senior brother, how are you?"
The other four immediately stepped forward and supported the middle-aged man.
The man was injured by the Kunlun Snow Devil before, and he was originally holding on, but after spurting out a mouthful of blood at this time, he could no longer hold on, and the whole person immediately withered and became extremely weak.
Ning Xiaotang frowned slightly, took a step forward, his figure flashed slightly, and in the next moment, he came directly to the middle-aged man's side.
Then, Ning Xiaotang stretched out his finger and clicked it a few times on the middle-aged man's chest and abdomen. Then, a hand pressed on the back of the opponent's heart, and the gentle true qi continued to flow into the opponent's body.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and his face obviously became much better.
He said to the other four: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, junior sisters, don't worry, I'm fine. ”
Then, he looked at Ning Xiaotang and thanked sincerely: "Thank you seniors." ”
Ning Xiaotang said: "You're welcome. ”
After a while, Ning Xiaotang stopped transmitting true qi and said to the middle-aged man, "I have temporarily stopped the deterioration of your injury, and next, I will find a place to recuperate for a few days." As for full recovery, I'm afraid it will take at least a few months of recuperation. ”
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, senior." ”
Chen Jingzhi asked, "Senior, I wonder if there is a human residence nearby?"
Ning Xiaotang said: "Go to the southeast, a hundred miles away, there is a green wood village, you take your junior brother and let him go there temporarily to recuperate for a few days." ”
Chen Jingzhi: "Thank you seniors. So seniors, let's go first and say goodbye. ”
The other four also said: "Senior, farewell!"
Ning Xiaotang waved his hand and didn't say much.
In the next moment, his figure flashed, like a puff of green smoke, and disappeared directly in front of the five people.
One of them sighed: "Come and go without a trace, this senior is really a master." ”
Another said: "Yes, this senior killed the Kunlun Snow Demon with one palm, which shows the depth of his skills, and I don't know what kind of realm he has reached?"
Chen Jingzhi: "Let's go, let's take the junior brother first and go to that Qingmu Village." ”
Ning Xiaotang returned directly to the valley.
There is only one day left before the entrance of the "Hundred Herb Garden" opens.
Ning Xiaotang no longer studied those formations, he simply found a piece of bluestone, sat cross-legged on it, closed his eyes and recuperated, and waited for the entrance to open.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
Ning Xiaotang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the entrance of the "Hundred Herb Garden".
I saw that his eyes were faintly flickering, and the pattern similar to Tai Chi appeared in his eyes again.
In Ning Xiaotang's field of vision, the formation at the entrance of the "Hundred Herb Garden" emitted white light, running non-stop with a mysterious and complex law.
Suddenly, the formation at the entrance began to slow down until it came to a complete halt at a certain moment.
Ning Xiaotang's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "This is the time!"
In the next moment, Ning Xiaotang's figure disappeared directly in place.
At the entrance of the "Hundred Herb Garden", Ning Xiaotang stepped into it.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding scenery changed.
What appeared in front of Ning Xiaotang's eyes was a thirty-zhang long bluestone pavement. The bluestone slab is carved with strange flowers and plants, birds and beasts, and an ancient and vicissitudes of life is faintly emanating from above.
On both sides of the bluestone pavement, there is a misty mist, except for the white expanse, you can't see anything clearly.
This bluestone road is obviously the only way to enter the "Baicao Garden".
At this moment, the surrounding formations completely stopped.
However, Ning Xiaotang did not walk around, but walked on it according to some special route.
Otherwise, as long as you take a wrong step, the surrounding formation will be activated immediately.
At the end of the bluestone road, there seems to be a white jade door.
Behind the white jade gate, there must be the "Hundred Herb Garden".
Ning Xiaotang didn't have the slightest eagerness, he walked calmly and walked forward without hurrying.
When he walked to the white jade door, he saw the white jade door "squeak~~" and open inside.
Although the white jade door was opened, it was hazy inside, and it was not real.
Ning Xiaotang's eyes flickered, and the pattern similar to Tai Chi in his eyes slowly moved.
When he found that there was no danger ahead, Ning Xiaotang prepared to cross the door and enter.
In front of the white jade gate, there are nine steps.
Ning Xiaotang had just stepped onto the first step.
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Because at this moment, his whole body couldn't help sinking, and the whole person seemed to be pressed against a mountain, extremely heavy.
At the same time, the Xuan Gong in his body also worked wildly all of a sudden.
"Huh? This is ...... Test?"
In the next moment, an idea suddenly came into Ning Xiaotang's mind. In an instant, he understood the meaning of the nine steps in front of him.
If you want to enter the "Hundred Herb Garden", you must climb the short nine steps in front of you.
This is a means deliberately left by the ginseng essence predecessor to test future generations.
This first step is to verify whether the intruder's practice is evil.
If you are a person who is crooked and evil, once you step on this first step, you will be crushed to pieces.
And Ning Xiaotang was fine except for feeling a little heavy on his body. So, he was ready to step up the second step.
At the same time, just as Ning Xiaotang had just stepped on the first step, the sky above the entire valley suddenly changed.
Originally, in the sky above the valley, the aura of the earth spirit was extremely thin.
However, at this moment, countless earth spirit qi from all directions were surging towards this place frantically, forming a huge and incomparably incomparable vortex.
However, these earth spirit qi cannot be observed by ordinary people with the naked eye at all.
Nine miles away, in the belly of that towering snow-capped mountain, there is a huge cave.
In the cave, there was a monster lying in the corner, sleeping.
The appearance of that monster is very similar to that of the Kunlun Snow Demon.
It's just that the size of that monster is huge, more than five feet high, five times larger than the Kunlun Snow Devil.
Moreover, unlike the white hair of the Kunlun Snow Demon, the monster had blood-red hair all over its body, which looked weird and terrifying.
At the moment when the sky above the valley mutated, the huge monster in the cave suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.
