Chapter Twenty-Five: The Miasma Depths
It is recorded in the "Chronicles of Beasts and Monsters": "The peach is dying, its shape is a peach, eating and drinking, and it breathes out poisonous miasma." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
This poisonous miasma, known as the peach blossom miasma, is collected by the monks to make an elixir for men and women. However, since it is a poisonous miasma, it is poisonous. Once overdosed, it will lead to hallucinations, and if you do not wake up in time, you will live in illusions for the rest of your life.
Luo Jiangshang took Huo Jun, Qi Guancheng took Li Yuanlong, and the four of them had already rushed to the territory of Taoyao, and the toothed tiger beast that was chasing the four hesitated, and simply roared angrily and was unwilling to leave. Seeing this, Luo Jiangshang was about to tell his companion that the peach blossom miasma had existed for thousands of years, and such a long time had allowed the poisonous gas to seep into the land, and even Luo Jiangshang, a person who would bring qi into the body, felt a little uncomfortable.
"Quick, get to the ground, or we'll all die!"
With a loud roar, Luo Jiangshang quickly swam to the ground.
Qi Guancheng also began to get dizzy, and then realized that something was wrong, and quickly followed Luo Jiangshang's footsteps.
The four of them broke through the ground, only to find that the surroundings were already filled with peach-colored smoke, and it turned out that the peach blossom miasma here was already very thick.
"Hold your breath and use your inner breath to breathe. ā
The biggest difference between a cultivator and a mortal, in addition to longevity and magic, is the most direct way of inner breath. Breathing through every pore on your skin can isolate a lot of harmful substances in the air, including the current peach blossom miasma.
However, after all, the peach blossom miasma has been a thing for thousands of years, and in addition to breathing, it can also invade the body of the cultivator through other paths.
Therefore, Qi Guancheng and Huo Jun felt more and more dizzy and weak, not to mention Li Yuanlong, who had the lowest cultivation, had already been infected by miasma and hallucinated in front of his eyes. Seeing his writhing and hot skin, he must have seen some kind of Spring Palace, which made Luo Jiangshang shudder.
Looking at Li Yuanlong, who was still tied up by five flowers and had miasma in his body, Luo Jiangshang finally did well and untied the rope on his body. However, it was okay if the rope was not untied, and after it was untied, Li Yuanlong immediately rushed up and hugged Luo Jiangshang like a rabbit seeing the grass next to the nest.
"Fuck off, I'm not a woman!"
Li Yuanlong was pushed a few steps away, and then rushed up again, and was once again lifted away by Luo Jiangshang. This was the case several times, and he was re-tied up and thrown to the ground and writhed.
"How could this happen after being poisoned? Senior Brother Luo, why are you okay?"
Qi Guancheng and Huo Jun tried their best to resist the miasma that invaded their bodies, and when they opened their eyes after hearing the voice, Qi Guancheng found that Luo Jiangshang had nothing to do, and asked questions with difficulty.
"I'm resistant, and the peach blossom miasma can't affect me. ā
Luo Jiangshang is also telling the truth, he has practiced the 'Turtle Breath Technique', and he has also practiced the 'Pure Heart Mantra', the spell in the front can prevent him from inhaling a mouthful of peach blossom miasma, and the spell in the back can neutralize the miasma that invades the body through the skin. Therefore, Luo Jiangshang is not wrong to say that he has resistance.
"Senior brother is so lucky, it's really enviable for senior brother, but Senior Brother Huo and I are about to be unable to hold on, you can also find a rope to tie us up." ā
Qi Guancheng was half helpless and half envious, he felt that he had been deeply poisoned, but he didn't want to become like Li Yuanlong, who was controlled by **** and couldn't extricate himself.
Luo Jiangshang is still thinking about how to break through from here.
The miasma is like a thick fog, making it completely difficult to distinguish the direction, and if you want to go out into the deep forest, you can only try slowly, or use mana to blow the miasma away. But the basic conditions for achieving these two methods are not possessed by Luo Jiangshang and his companions. Luo Jiangshang could only think of another way.
Hearing this sentence from Qi Guancheng, Luo Jiangshang's first reaction was to shake his head and refuse.
"No, if you are poisoned, the chances of us escaping will be reduced. ā
Luo Jiangshang is okay alone, he can definitely escape. It's just that Luo Sangongzi has been affectionate since he was a child, and whether it is family affection or friendship, he is regarded as very important. What's more, now, the friendship of the same family is like blood relatives, Luo Jiang will not leave Qi Guancheng and Huo Jun and run away by himself.
In this way, he also thought about it, didn't care about the lot, and took out the pills hidden in Qiankun's pocket to detoxify the two of them. If they ask afterwards, it is better to directly infer that they are too deeply poisoned and hallucinate.
"Give me my mouth!"
The detoxification pill of the Gui Tibetan school can cure thousands of poisons and is very effective against all kinds of miasma. Luo Jiangshang now took out three pills and let Qi Guancheng and Huo Jun swallow them respectively. The two of them were lucky enough to melt the pill in their stomachs, and soon they no longer felt dizzy.
Luo Jiangshang thought about it, fed the third pill to Li Yuanlong, and used mana to help him detoxify.
"This elixir works so well, where did the junior brother come from?"
Luo Jiangshang turned his head and looked at Qi Guancheng with a blank expression: "Pill? What pill? Is it that you have been poisoned too deeply and hallucinated? I only taught you a heart-clearing mantra, should you forget?"
Seeing this, Qi Guancheng guessed in his heart that this was the secret of Senior Brother Luo, so he kept silent and said no more. It was Huo Jun, whose mouth was wide open and could stuff an egg into it: "Senior Brother Luo...... Could it really be that I'm hallucinating?"
He looked at Qi Guancheng, hoping that the latter could give an explanation.
Qi Guancheng nodded at Huo Jun, acquiescing to Luo Jiangshang's statement.
The three of them discussed countermeasures, but there was no good solution. Luo Jiangshang used Tengyun to go up to the treetops to see it, this piece of peach blossom miasma does not know how thick it is, and I don't know how wide it is, in short, it is useless to climb high and look far away. In the end, you can only take one step at a time.
Li Yuanlong also gradually quieted down, Huo Jun stepped forward and carried him on his shoulders, and followed Luo Jiangshang and Qi Guancheng towards the depths of the miasma.
The three of them went deeper and deeper, and the peach blossom miasma became thicker and thicker, so they hurriedly changed directions.
Regardless of which direction, however, the miasma seems to be gathering more and more. Fortunately, the antidote pill of the Gui Tibetan sect had an excellent effect, so that the three of them would not be poisoned again. Although Huo Jun still had questions, in this environment, it was inconvenient to ask.
So relatively silent, in a peach-colored, the shadow of the tree is swaying, the artistic conception is still good, if there are ordinary poets here, there will be poetry. It's just that no one wants to enjoy these views, and the three of them want to get out of the peach blossom miasma quickly.
However, the direction has long been lost, and I can only lose my judgment more and more.
In the depths of the peach blossom miasma, where Tao Yao lives, round and peacock-like creatures gather together, dozens or hundreds, thousands, and support a big tree in the middle. The trees are lush with green leaves, and under the shadow of the foliage, a few unripe peaches grow.
When these peaches are ripe, they fall from the trees and form new life.
Tao Yao chatters non-stop, daily life is like this, wake up carefree play, play when tired, lie down and sleep. Among them, there are also some Taoyao who know how to cultivate, swallowing cloud qi every day, and they don't know that they have been hundreds or thousands of years, and they can already transform into human form. is either a sunny and handsome man, or a graceful beauty, all of them are long and captivating, envious of mortals.
"Oh no, no, a human has broken in!"
A peach with a head the size of a child jumped on the ground, shouting as he jumped.
A few Taoyao who had cultivated into human form sitting under the tree opened their eyes and looked at each other a few times, and one of them, the eldest man, opened his mouth and asked, "How many people are there? Who are they? Can you see clearly?"
Xiao Taoyao jumped to the feet of the man and replied nervously: "There are four people, all men, one of them is already asleep, and the other three are all wearing the same clothes...... It's the kind of blue-white-blue-white robe. ā
The man looked at the other humanoid Taoyao thoughtfully.
"It seems that he is a disciple of the Hundred Immortal Sect...... After a thousand years of breaking into the peach forest, is it the prophecy that the old god stick said a thousand years ago?"
There was a moment of silence in the audience, and another woman spoke: "The prophecy of that old god stick has never been fulfilled once, and I guess this time it is just a coincidence......
The other Taoyao also began to nod, seemingly agreeing with the woman's point of view.
But the man still maintained his opinion.
"You have been an adult for too short a time, you have not been to the outside world, and you have only heard the stories of thousands of years ago from your predecessors, and that is just a legend. That old god stick is the successor of the "Heavenly Change" exercise, this exercise is mysterious, and he can't say the predicted heavenly opportunity in his life, and only allows people to warn of the side knocks, and once he says the heavenly opportunity, he will die immediately. ā
"The heir of "Heavenly Change"...... In fact, it is very painful, they see disaster, they see death, but they have no power to save the people......"
"The person who broke into the peach forest thousands of years ago saw the demise of our clan, and then saw the turmoil of the entire immortal cultivation world, and soon after telling this secret, he died shortly after, even if he cultivated to be a god, it is still the same, it can be seen that true love is a heavenly opportunity. ā
"Since our clan is doomed, why don't we give the treasure of our clan to this man of destiny?"
After a long speech, all Taoyao listened very seriously, which shows that the status of the man in the ethnic group is high enough to make all Taoyao fearful. Coupled with the meaning of the words, this man may be a monster who has lived for thousands of years.
"Uncle Ying, I'm just unwilling," the woman continued to speak, and her tone softened by three points, "Why did you give away the treasure that has been enshrined in the clan for 10,000 years because of a 'leaking heavenly secret', because of a prophecy that I don't know if it will happen?"
Uncle Ying laughed, laughed for a while, and comforted the woman: "Xuanwen, you are still as childish as a hundred years ago, I said it, our demon clan can be transformed into a human form, it is already a great gift, and other things outside the body are also entrusted to us by God for temporary safekeeping, you still can't see through it!"
Although Uncle Ying really comforted Xuan Wen, the disappointment in his tone couldn't be concealed.
The other Taoyao are all looking at Uncle Ying's horse, this is the current patriarch of the Peach Demon Clan, and he is also the longest-living clansman except for the ancient tree that gave birth to this clan.
