Chapter 17: Into the Mountain

Because all the measures were very timely, Jiang Muling did not get a cold when he got up the next morning, his body was not unwell, and his mental state was also very good, which made the other two breathe a sigh of relief.

"I knew I was going with you, and I wanted to see what it would be like to split the whole lake in half. Xia Zhiqiu felt a little regretful.

"There will be a chance in the future," Qi Bing made himself a cup of tea after learning from Jiang Muling's appearance, tasted it, and felt that Jiang Muling's brew was much better.

"Think about it first, how to pass the map of Laoshan Mountain, I heard that your second brother returned to Kunlun this morning, did he give you the sword?"

"He still has something to report to the sect, it's been a morning, I haven't seen him yet, but I should be free in the evening, and I'll give me the sword." ”

"Our two-month appointment with Lord Yemen has also arrived, and in a few days, we will have to set off," Thinking of this, Qi Bing had a sense of urgency that the big exam was coming. "Are you ready?"

"Of course!" Xia Zhiqiu had long been eager to try.

In addition to this excitement, there is actually a little worry, there are tens of millions of cultivators in the cultivation realm, why are there so few who have reached the high realm, and those who have ascended can be counted with their fingers.

A lot of talented people died in the middle of cultivation, some died in the confrontation with demon beasts, some were trapped in the secret realm and could never get out again, and some went mad in the Yuan Infant Stage, and finally disappeared.

The three of them had only two of the results of this trip, either giving birth or attaining enlightenment.

As Jiang Muling said before, the requirements for children under the age of ten will not be very high, and the sect masters of the two sects can be sure to give it a try, plus Jiang Muling himself is a genius who defy the sky, so the chance of passing is greatly increased.

But the three of them are all people who have no experience in the secret realm, and no one has ever entered the Laoshan map, so this matter is like a bottomless pit, and they have to suck their ease and pleasure into it, leaving them full of helplessness.

The three of them practiced together for a noon in their wordless thoughts.

......

Because he was going to the map of Laoshan Mountain, Qi Bing felt that his mind was a little impetuous, and he had no effect after practicing for a day.

She knew that she couldn't be in a hurry at this time, she had to calm herself down and return to her state of mind of not being arrogant or impatient.

After more than two months, the flute-like music resounded in the grove of the Fog Void Peak, different from the cheerful melody last time, this time the tune was more gentle and melodious, as if everything had slowed down, precipitating in every turn.

After pinching the leaves and blowing a song, he felt a lot calmer, and was ready to blow again and go back.

This time, her song had just been blown for a short time, and the sound of the flute came in, she stopped, turned around, and saw Jiang Muling holding the jade flute and Xia Zhiqiu carrying a box.

Her eyebrows and eyes bent, then she blew again, and rejoined Jiang Muling's flute sound.

She didn't know how long the two had been standing behind her, but there was nothing wrong with Jiang Muling's not-so-famous Jiangnan tune, and she suspected that the two were standing behind and listening to her finish the whole tune.

Although you can blow it out again without mistakes after listening to it once, this kind of thing is too rare and genius, but when it is put on Jiang Muling, Yang Bing feels that there is nothing wrong with it.

After another song, the three of them went back to the house where Bing lived.

"You two know how to play musical instruments, just I'm standing next to me dryly, so boring. Xia Zhiqiu carried the box, feeling that he was once again excluded from these two people.

"Am I a musical instrument? ”

"Isn't that more exemplary? Who did you learn all this from?" Xia Zhiqiu also picked a leaf and did the same, but he couldn't blow a sound at all, and he ate a bite of the leaf, so astringent that he stuck out his tongue and gave up directly.

"I learned it from the uncle who was hunting in the mountains, and he said that this is how he called his hounds. "Lu Bing said it as a matter of course.

Jiang Muling and Xia Zhiqiu couldn't understand what "learning to blow leaves with a hunting uncle" was something and didn't continue the topic.

The box Xia Zhiqiu was carrying was filled with iced watermelon, which was very sweet and crisp, especially suitable for nights like summer.

The three of them all like to eat crispy watermelon, and they sit in the yard in front of the house and eat it very happily, and the sound of clicking and clicking has not stopped.

"I have already got the sword brought by my second brother, and I heard from the master that we will set off the day after tomorrow. Xia Zhiqiu wiped the watermelon juice from his mouth and reported the reason for coming.

"That's it......" The sound of nibbling watermelons was gone, and they lay on the grass looking at the night sky, and no one spoke.

"Are we going to die there?" said the words she had been trying to ask all day. She is a stranger to death, her family is sound, and she has never faced death directly, so she does not know fear.

"Don't talk nonsense, have faith in yourself. Xia Zhiqiu's voice was not as reckless as before, but Qi Bing knew that he was not afraid, he was comforting himself.

"Even if I stay there, I'll let you out safely. Jiang Muling, who had not spoken, said lightly, and Bing Bing sneered.

"Hmm...... Yes, I won't be afraid, I still have to protect Xiao Qiuqiu, and I can't let Xiao Qiuqiu regret it for the rest of her life without even holding a girl's hand. ”

"Who wants you to protect it!Take care of yourself!" Maybe he didn't have the heart to quarrel with Bing, Xia Zhiqiu didn't follow up after two sentences.

"Don't be afraid," Qi Bing had never heard such a gentle voice from Jiang Muling, "We'll all be fine, in the future, we'll have to compete to see who is the most powerful sword cultivator." ”

"Then it must be me~ This is still a question!"

"You'd better compare me first, Xiao Qiuqiu, otherwise I won't let you out to compete with Jiang Muling and lose Kunlun's face." ”

When Xia Zhiqiu was about to jump up and theorize, Qi Bing pounced and hugged the two.

"By all means...... We're going to make it all three of us back alive!" I swear!"

In the middle of the night, two hands were placed on her shoulders, and both of them answered in her ears at the same time.

"Hmm. ”

......

Qi Bing felt that she didn't have any expectations at all for her master to tell her about going to the Laoshan map, because maybe he didn't know that his apprentice was going to the secret realm.

So she was still a little surprised to see her master suddenly break down the door after packing her things the night before she left.

"Yo, it's good that I didn't sleep, otherwise I might not have been able to get up and give this thing to you tomorrow morning. As he spoke, he casually threw something at the ice.

Qi Bing hurriedly caught it, and when he looked closely, it was a small jade bottle, which was heavy, as if it contained a lot of pills.

Artemisia Zhenren yawned, "As long as you don't die, it should be useful, don't save it, it's enough." ”

After saying that, Artemisia Zhenren went back with a sleepy face, dragging his tattered robe.

Yu Bing was stunned for a while, opened the jade bottle, the medicinal smell was very light, but the aura was very strong, at first glance, it was the highest grade elixir, this kind of thing is not only difficult to collect materials, but the most important thing is that it takes time and energy.

Yu Bing couldn't help but think, Yarrow Zhenren has been missing for so long, could it be that she is refining this bottle of things?

“...... Thank you. Lu Bing muttered, and the only remaining uneasiness in his heart disappeared.

Yarrow Zhenren told her not to save food, it's really his style, but it's hard to find this kind of thing, and it's really rich. After being moved, Qi Bing began to complain again.

Put away the jade bottle, and lay on the bed, originally thinking that he would be excited to insomnia, but the medicinal effect of the fog void peak was very strong, and after closing his eyes for ten breaths, he fell asleep.

......

On the second day, when he gathered in the Kunlun Palace, Qi Bing saw Bai Zhoujun, the master of the Kunlun faction, again, this time he did not sit on the main seat, but stood in front of her, and the coercion was even stronger.

Wuxu Zhenren hung a piece of spirit jade on Yu Bing's waist, "Your master's stinky boy should have given you something, and Uncle Shi will give you a piece of talisman spirit jade, which can prevent three fatal attacks below the Yuan Infant Stage, and it should be able to protect you from safety." ”

Qi Bing felt that her whole body was a magic weapon now, even if she wanted to die, she couldn't die, she looked at the fog void real person with a worried face, and comforted him in turn, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, Xia Zhiqiu and Mu Ling will protect me!"

A few people didn't ask to waste time, so they said goodbye and set off after a brief explanation.

Jiang Muling and Su Rongjun didn't talk, they had already made preparations, needless to say, this was a tacit understanding between their master and apprentice.

Su Rongjun took out a wooden box from the Naxu bag, and the spiritual power contained in the wooden box alone was unfathomable, and it was almost impossible to open it by violent means.

Su Rongjun's forehead was close to the wooden box, and he recited a mantra lightly, and the wooden box slowly opened with a "click".

The contents looked like a parchment map, but up close it didn't look like parchment, nor was it paper, and when it was spread out, it was blank and there was not a single word.

"Please come in. ”

Come in?...... How to enter? Qi Bing saw the same doubts as her in Xia Zhiqiu's eyes, and then looked at Jiang Muling together.

I saw Jiang Muling urging his spiritual power to cover his whole body, and a light blue light flashed around him, and then Edgeworth flew towards the map, and the map suddenly opened a small opening, as if a black hole had been opened, engulfing Jiang Muling.

The two didn't have time to be surprised, and Edgeworth followed.

After a few moments, the small opening gradually closed, turning back into a flat map, which could not be accessed no matter how much it was touched.

"The entrance has been closed, whether you can come out or not depends on the creation of these children. "Bai Zhoujun ordered people to strictly guard the Kunlun Palace, and he couldn't let this map go wrong.

Su Rongjun placed the map at the front of the main hall and stroked it.

Mu Ling, this is your opportunity, don't miss it.

......

The three of them flew in, and found that the entrance to the map was a bottomless stream about ten zhang wide, and it would take a long time to hear the echo when you threw a large rock.

Yu Bing was glad that they had come in with Edgeworth, otherwise they would have to go through nine deaths at the beginning.

Looking up, the place they were in was in the middle of a deep stream, so they flew up slowly, wanting to see what was going on outside.

After a stick of incense, finally out of this deep stream, what greeted them was a huge stone statue carved from the mountain, although there were some traces of wind and rain, there were cracks in the road, and some trees broke out of the stone, destroying the original smooth stone statue, but they could still vaguely see the original outline of this stone statue.

"This should be the stone statue of the Laoshan Daoist. Looking at the face of the stone statue like a child, but wearing a Taoist robe and stepping on the willow wood of Guanyin, Qi Bing came to this conclusion.

"Is this carved by the Laoshan Dao people?," Xia Zhiqiu looked at it, "The craftsmanship is good." ”

"It doesn't matter how the craftsmanship is, it's important to pass through the secret realm now. ”

But there is nothing around but the stone statue as high as this mountain, and from every place it looks like an endless flat land.

This big thing is here, as if to say to them, "Come on, I'm what you're looking for, come to me." ”

"It's better to be careful, it doesn't have to be that simple. Jiang Muling thought about it carefully, "Let's search first." ”

The three sword lights quickly dispersed, Qi Bing took Jiang Muling to check his head and limbs, and Xia Zhiqiu went to look at his torso and legs.

The surface of the stone statue has been covered with a layer of soil and green moss, so if there is a mechanism, you have to get closer and look for it slowly, after looking for two hours, Yang Bing's eyes are a little painful, Jiang Muling is gently touched with both hands, touching his hands full of dirt, and there are a few small cuts.

"I've found it! Come on!" shouted Ling Bing, summoning the other two over.

"What do you think this is?"

Standing at the place of the stone statue's eyes, he looked at the stone representing the part of the eyes with a line of words carved on it, the handwriting was blurred, and it looked difficult.

"Come to ...... Friend...... The first ...... You know...... Eye...... ...... the world, it will lead ...... It's mine....... Xia Zhiqiu stared and read all the words he could see clearly, trying to understand what it was talking about, but no matter what tone he used to read it aloud, the words were still incoherent.

"Actually, it's not just this left eye that has words, it's also on the right eye, let's see if it's the same. ”
