Chapter 33, looking for Shu Mountain in the Ten Thousand Gullies
After entering Bashui City, Shangguan Yun found an inn to live in at random, lay on the bed and began to think about it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since leaving Changchun Gate, he has never had time to seriously consider what he should do next, and now it is time to plan well.
Although the murder of his father has already been recognized, there are millions of people in the huge Qishan country alone, and it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find out the mysterious Blood Knife Gang alone. Moreover, if it is really as Gongzi Qiong speculated, behind the Blood Knife Gang is the national teacher of Qishan Country, or some other big force, with his current strength, wanting to take revenge is tantamount to a moth throwing himself into the fire.
At the moment, the most important thing is to find a place to cultivate first, and cultivate to the foundation as soon as possible, but where to cultivate? Could it be to go to Huayin Sect, but Huayin Sect is too close to Changchun Gate, and sooner or later Huayin Sect will know about the relationship between himself and the Demon King, maybe it will end up the same in the end, if you take into account the old feud between Huayin Sect and Demon King Lingjun, maybe the ending will be even worse.
After a night of tossing and turning, Shangguan Yun thought a lot, and even thought about whether to go to which force to go to first, but in the end he still denied this idea, and now he went to a certain force alone, it was better to go directly to Gongzi Qiong at the beginning, not to mention that his personality did not allow him to do this at all.
Unable to think of a reason for the time being, Shangguan Yun simply stopped thinking about it, and after wandering around Bashui City for three days and enjoying the style of the royal capital, he left Bashui City.
Outside Bashui City, there were many people coming and going, and there was no chance to find the sword, so Shangguan Yun walked towards the southwest on the official road, and it was easy to find a place where no one was, Shangguan Yun immediately drove the waning moon and continued to fly to the southwest, flying in the direction of Bashu.
The junction of Qishan and Bashu is now a battlefield, and Shangguan Yun's purpose is of course not to see the battle between the two military formations, but to find the "Shu Mountain" in ancient legends. According to the book, since Pangu opened the world, there have been three cultivation holy realms on the Kyushu continent, namely "East Penglai, Zhongshu Mountain, and West Kunlun".
It is said that 10,000 years ago, the Ji clan defeated many alien races with the help of the Kunlun clan, and many princes of the gods also came from Kunlun, but now these three legendary holy places have disappeared from the world for some reason. Among them, Penglai is hidden in the vast smoke waves, Kunlun is 100,000 miles away from here, only the legendary "Shu Mountain" is the closest to this, so Shangguan Yun came to the land of Bashu.
After flying during the day and meditating in a secluded place at night, Shangguan Yun had arrived at the border between the two countries, and could see a dense camp in the distance, and faintly hear the sound of snare drums and horns. In order not to cause trouble, Shangguan Yun bypassed the place of conquest from afar, and flew towards the hinterland of Bashu with a flying sword.
As soon as he entered the land of Shu, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly, the height of Shu Mountain, the size of Shu Mountain is really worthy of its name, but I don't know where the legendary "Shu Mountain" exists in this endless and continuous mountain.
After flying in the continuous mountains for two days, feeling a little tired, Shangguan Yun landed on a mountain peak and sat cross-legged to rest. At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint cry from the valley under my feet, which sounded like a child's voice.
"In this deep mountain and dense forest, how can there be a child's cry?" Shangguan Yun felt strange, so he took off his sword and slowly fell into the valley. At the foot of a hillside, I saw a boy of seven or eight years old sitting on the ground crying.
Shangguan Yun stepped forward and found that the child was covered in blood, his body was full of marks of being cut by branches, and his left calf was even more twisted, obviously broken.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
"When I was collecting medicine, I fell down the mountain. β
"You bear with it first, my brother will treat you. β
Shangguan Yun skillfully made a splint out of a twig to immobilize the boy's injured leg and apply some medicine to his wound.
"Thank you, big brother, I'm much better, are you a doctor?"
"Brother is not, it's just that he will heal your injuries. Why did you go out into the mountains alone, how dangerous is it?"
"Brother, I'm not here to play, I'm here to collect medicine for Daddy. β
"Okay, brother will send you home first, where do you live?"
"My family lives in... , brother, can I not say it. β
"Why?"
"Because, because, because the grandfather in the village won't let me say it. β
"That's the case, but if you don't say it, how can my brother send you home?"
"I can walk on my own, oops. As soon as the little boy stood up, he immediately sat down again in pain.
"Let my brother send you. β
"Big brother, I can do it. The little boy stubbornly stood up again, and sat on the ground with a sore butt without taking two steps.
Looking at the little boy's stubborn appearance, Shangguan Yun secretly laughed, remembering that he had such an encounter when he was a child, and in the end he was carried away by his father.
"What should I do?" The little boy looked helpless, he actually wanted Shangguan Yun to send him, but his father and the grandfather in the village had said that they must not let outsiders know the location of the village, and he was anxious to cry again.
"Do you think this is good?" Looking at the little boy's anxious appearance, Shangguan Yun suddenly had an idea, "Brother is carrying you behind your back and blindfolded, can you show my brother the way." β
"Is that okay?" the boy hesitated.
"Why can't you do it? My brother can't see the road blindfolded, so he won't know where you live. β
"But brother, what if you play tricks and peek?"
"My brother won't peek. β
"That's it, that's still not good! That's it, brother, can you stay with me, Grandpa will come to me." β
Shangguan Yun suddenly felt very hurt, this little guy's vigilance was really heavy.
"Okay, brother is with you. Shangguan Yun ran out of ideas for a while, so he found some firewood, prepared a bonfire, and got some food for the little boy.
"Brother, we can't live here, I'll take you somewhere. β
"Why?"
"Because there are youkai here at night. β
"Monsters, what monsters?" Shangguan Yun was stunned, looked around in surprise, and didn't find anything wrong. β
"Really, brother, let's go, I'll take you to a safe place. β
"Okay!" Shangguan Yunxin said, there are really a lot of things about this little ghost.
"I don't know who told him that there are monsters in this place, and most of them were scaremongered by the adults in the family. Despite thinking so, Shangguan Yun still picked up the little boy on his back, walked out of the valley in the direction he pointed, and walked along a hidden path to a protruding boulder halfway up the mountain.
"Okay, big brother, we're here, it's safe here. β
Putting down the little boy, Shangguan Yun was surprised to find that around this big stone, which was three or four zhang square, those seemingly chaotic trees and gravel actually faintly had traces of some kind of formation, and there were also some runes engraved on the big stone that he had never seen before.
It seems that the origin of this little boy is not ordinary, is it true that there are monsters in the valley at night when he said it?
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"My name is naΓ―ve. β
βγγγγγγ β
"What's wrong with big brother?
"No, it's a nice name. β
"Big brother is a liar, your expression is weird, you must be lying. β
"My brother really didn't lie, but he was suddenly hungry. β
"I'm hungry too, I'm really hungry!"
"You wait here, brother, go get something to eat. β
"Hmm. Brother, go and come back quickly, just pick some fruit, it's getting dark. β
Leaving the boulder, Shangguan Yun wandered around this mountain for a long time, only to find that there was not even a beast on this mountain, so he had to fly away with his flying sword, and then he was surprised to find that there was not even a beast on the mountain in the vicinity of ten miles, not even a bird. In the end, Shangguan Yun caught a hare on a hillside twenty miles away. Seeing that it was getting late, he picked a few more wild fruits, and hurriedly drove his sword off, quietly landed at the foot of the mountain, and then walked back to the big rock along the path.
"Brother, where have you been, why has it been so long? It will soon be dark. β
"My brother went to the opposite mountain and caught a rabbit and picked some fruit. You eat some fruit first, and my brother will roast a rabbit for us to eat. β
"Brother, you're lying again!"
βγγγγγγγ β
"There are no rabbits on this hill, and there are no rabbits on the other side. β
"How do you know there are no rabbits on the mountain?"
"Because the beasts on the nearby mountains have been eaten by youkai. β
"Then maybe this rabbit just ran in and happened to be bumped into by my brother?"
"No way, my brother is lying, I ignore you. After saying that, the innocent little boy pouted and looked unhappy.
Shangguan Yun simply ignored him, lit a bonfire, and roasted the rabbit on the fire. After a while, a fragrance spread, and the innocence who was originally pouting couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Brother, where did you catch the rabbit?"
"From afar. Shangguan Yun tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Tianzhen, and the little guy immediately devoured it.
"Here you go. The last rabbit leg was also torn off by Shangguan Yun and handed to Tianzhen, who looked at the rabbit leg and shook his head.
"Brother, you haven't eaten yet. β
"Eat! Shangguan Yun took the rest of the rabbit and gnawed it.
"Thank you, brother!" In an instant, the fourth rabbit leg also entered the innocent belly, and the little guy wiped his mouth with satisfaction and smiled.
"My brother's roasted rabbit was so delicious, I was full. β
At this time, the night slowly enveloped up, and streams of black fog suddenly poured out of the valley.
"Those youkai are out. Innocent suddenly said loudly.
Shangguan Yun found that in those black dense fogs, green and faint lights suddenly appeared, and there seemed to be some shadowy figures walking in the dense fog, and in the blink of an eye, the entire valley was filled with those green lights, and a strange sound began to sound in all directions.
"There really are youkai. Shangguan Yun subconsciously took out the beast bone bow from the storage bag.
"Big brother, don't be afraid, they can't get by, look there. β
Following his innocent fingers, Shangguan Yun discovered that the originally dim runes on the edge of the boulder actually lit up at this moment, and golden light flew out from those runes, forming a semicircular light shield, firmly covering the boulder.
