Chapter 54: It's hard to move an inch
When Qingshan regained his senses, he found himself in a long and narrow passage, and Qingfeng and the others were not around him.
"What's going on? What about the others? Why are they gone?"
He hurriedly looked around with doubts, this passage was full of light, but there was no one to see, he couldn't help frowning, "Is everyone separated?
He didn't worry about the rest of the people, what he was worried about was Qingyan and Qinghong, these two people were only just the cultivation of the first layer of Jindan, except for himself, the cultivation of everyone who entered here was much higher than the two of them, in case of encountering an enemy, Qinghong would be better, but Qingyan would be in trouble.
Before he could calm down from his chaotic thoughts, blue flames suddenly erupted from the passage, covering the entire passage in the blink of an eye.
Qingshan suddenly felt the heat wave on the pavement, and after a while, sweat fell from his forehead.
"Qingshan, I'll deal with these flames, you just have to fly forward. ”
"What do you do?"
Qiqi's immature voice was full of confidence, "Don't worry, I'll just absorb them." ”
Qingshan hesitated for a while, but recalled the situation when Qiqi absorbed the aura before, and couldn't help but suddenly feel a little moved, "Okay, I'll leave it to you." ”
The take-off sword was about to take off, but he found that his body was like a weight of ten thousand pounds, and he couldn't take off after shaking for a long time, "It's not good, there's no way to control the flying sword here." ”
Qiqi didn't reply, it had already conjured up a phantom again, Qingshan looked at it seriously, but found that the phantom was blurry, and it couldn't see the shape at all, and the only thing that could be seen clearly was its open mouth.
After a while, Qingshan couldn't feel the heat wave on the pavement, but he still couldn't fly, so he had no choice but to collect the flying sword, point his feet on the ground, and his body was like a flying swallow, and he rushed out of the distance in the blink of an eye.
But Qiqi's absorption speed was far from catching up with the speed of Qingshan's advance, and after a while, he felt that the heat wave was spreading again, and the heat was getting stronger and stronger, and even the corners of his hair and clothes began to smoke.
However, because he was worried about Qingyan's safety, he didn't dare to slow down at all, and in a hurry, he could only do his best to transfer the true yuan in his body, although he couldn't release the true qi to form a true qi mask like a Jindan monk, but it was okay to force the true qi out of the body and form a faint true qi film outside the body, such a shallow true qi film had no effect at all when used in battle, but it played a big role in blocking the invasion of flame and heat.
Seeing the flame heat wave extinguishing the released true qi film again and again, Qingshan was anxious, and he had to transfer the true yuan again and again, so that before he could get out of the passage, he was already so tired that he was about to collapse.
"Qiqi, can you still speed up the absorption?" As a last resort, he could only pin his hopes on Qiqi.
But Qiqi didn't have the strength to answer him at all, and in desperation, Qingshan could only slow down, if it continued like this, before the person went out, he would definitely be prostrated and powerless.
These flame passages, thousands of years ago, happened to be a level used by Yanyun Sect to test disciples, before, if no one launched it, the passage would not appear for no reason, but after a thousand years, although Yanyun Secret Realm was protected by the magic circle, it was still destroyed by many functions by the people who rushed in before.
All the people who came in almost all faced the same situation as Qingshan, but except for Qingshan, everyone's realm had reached the Jindan stage, and although most of them were also embarrassed, it was much easier than Qingshan.
When he walked out of this passage, Qingshan was exhausted, and before he could recover from meditation, a strong fragrance of plants and trees came to his face, and the smell of it was immediately refreshing.
Qingshan couldn't help but look up, and what he saw was a lush forest, and the air was shrouded in a faint mist.
"Qingshan, you hurry up and recover your true qi, I'll go and take a look around. ”
Qingshan was indeed very tired, "Okay, let's see if you can find Qinghong and them." ”
"I will, as soon as I see them, I'll bring them over to meet you. ”
"Well, be careful, don't get bumped into by other monks. ”
"Don't worry, they won't be able to catch up with me. Qiqi was full of confidence, and flew out after answering the sentence.
Qingshan meditated on the spot and recovered a little, then got up, released the flying sword and tried to fly, but found that he couldn't do it at all, so he had no choice but to put away the flying sword again and meditate again.
When Qiqi came back, Qingshan had basically recovered, "How is it, have you found them?"
"No, the forest is huge, and I flew for a long time to get to the edge, but I never found a single person. ”
"What's going on?" Aoyama couldn't help but frown, "Then do you have any other discoveries?"
"I saw a tall palace, far from the forest. ”
"Is the palace big?"
"It's big, you can see it as soon as you walk out of the forest. ”
"If that's the case, then the rest of us will surely see it too, let's go to that palace. ”
"Well, you come with me, there are some powerful demon beasts in this forest, for the sake of safety, let's not meet them. ”
Aoyama thought about it, "Okay, you lead the way, but I can't fly now, so I can only walk." ”
Qiqi, who was about to take off, suddenly stopped, "Can't fly, it will take a long, long time to get out of here, and in this way, you will inevitably encounter demon beasts." ”
Qingshan shook his head with a wry smile, looking into the distance with a puzzled look, "I don't know why, maybe it's because my cultivation is not enough." ”
"I see that the true qi in your body is a little disordered, is it because you haven't recovered yet?"
"No, I feel like I'm about to break through. ”
"Really?" Qiqi shouted happily, "How long will that take?"
"I don't know, but it always feels like I'm missing something. ”
"What is an opportunity?"
Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't explain it for a while, and at this time, he realized how uncomfortable the master was in the face of himself, not to mention, he was not comparable to the current Qiqi at all, he really didn't understand anything at that time, Qiqi was much better.
After pondering for a while, he guessed and said, "Maybe it's because the true qi in the body can't meet the requirements of the Jindan stage." ”
"That's easy to do, I just saw a Longxi grass over there, and the medicine is very effective. ”
"Longxi Grass?" Qingshan shouted in surprise, "Is it really Longxi Grass?" He had picked herbs when he took over the sect's herbal task, but the medicinal effects were very poor, and they couldn't be used to increase cultivation at all.
However, there is an introduction in the medicinal herb atlas given by the sect that Longxi grass that is more than two hundred years old can be directly swallowed by monks, which can not only increase cultivation, but also be used to break through the realm.
"Of course it's true, and the strain I've seen is very medicative. "Qiqi has followed Qingshan everywhere to collect medicine over the years, and naturally recognizes Longxi grass, and it has even been taken before, but because the effect of the medicine is really average, the effect on it is almost negligible.
"Okay, you hurry up and take me over, as long as the medicine is sufficient, I have a great chance that I will be able to successfully impact the Jindan stage in a short period of time. ”
"Well, you come with me. ”
Qingshan followed Qiqi to turn left and right, and most of the places he passed were difficult to walk, although he couldn't fly, but at least he was a monk in the late stage of foundation building, so it was difficult for him.
"How long will it take to get there?" Qingshan walked dizzily, if it weren't for Qiqi with him, he would have been unable to discern the direction.
"That's the swamp ahead, but be careful, I saw a monster in the swamp when I flew over. ”
"What monster?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it, it looks like a frog, but it's much bigger than a frog. ”
Like a frog, is it a toad? Toad has many pimples on the body surface, poisonous glands inside, males are mostly olive yellow on the back, with irregular spots, and red spots on the wart grains; females have light green on the back, spotted sauce, and red spots on the wart grains; there are often light green ridges in the middle of the back of the head, and dark brown lines on the maxillary margin and limbs.
Qingshan recalled what Feng Chenzi had said, and his face suddenly turned ugly, "Can you feel its realm?"
"It's strong, I don't dare approach it. ”
"Can we take a detour, then?"
"If we can't get around, we have to go through the swamp if we want to pick. ”
"The swamp is huge?"
"Well, it's big, it's big, and I flew for a long time to get through. ”
Hearing this, Qingshan immediately smiled bitterly, "Then do you think I can go over?"
Qiqi suddenly woke up when he heard this, "Yes, how did I forget, you can't fly now, so what should we do? Why don't you deal with that big frog and I'll pick it?"
Qingshan shook his head firmly, "Don't pick it up, let's go." ”
"Why? That Longxi grass is really effective. ”
"The swamp is so big, no one dares to guarantee that there is only one toad in it, and I can't fly now, what if it escapes? What if you are in danger and I can't save you at all? Besides, as long as I control this secret realm, that Longxi grass will be mine sooner or later, so there is no hurry, the most important thing for us at the moment is to find Qinghong and them as soon as possible." ”
"yes, then we won't pick it up. Although Qiqi agreed, Qingshan still heard a strong unwillingness from its tone.
But even so, Qingshan still firmly chose to give up, he couldn't afford any losses, especially Qiqi, "Don't pick it, you take me out of this forest first." ”
"Okay, but it's too slow and too dangerous, so why don't you use that stealth technique, then we can go faster." ”
"Okay, then you lead the way. ”
Qiqi nodded his head and took the lead in changing direction and flew out from the side, Qingshan toe a little to the ground, and his body was like a flying swallow and quickly followed, halfway through the operation of the floating light and dust body method, and the figure gradually blurred.
Qiqi glanced back and found that he had lost Qingshan's figure, knowing that he had become invisible, following Qingshan for so many years, he also knew that Qingshan's speed would be much slower once he became invisible, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you there?"
"I'm right behind you, it's okay, I'll tell you if I can't keep up. ”
