Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fog Zone
And it was also a very coincidence that the fat and thin monk was lucky enough to find a Xuanmu jade lotus.
The fat monk's name is Zhang Jingchun, and the thin monk's name is Lu Xiaozhou, and they are monks who started together fifteen years ago.
At that time, they were only cultivating in the mortal realm, and they were chasing a first-level demon beast and accidentally entered the fog area of the Tianyang Mountain Range, and due to their lack of experience, they got lost in the fog area, and the chasing demon beast was also lost.
The fog area is a dangerous place in the Tianyang Mountain Range, deep into the center of the mountain range, and directly connected to the misty area of the demon forest, once you go deep, it is very likely to encounter powerful demon beasts.
Many sects in the Tianyang Mountain Range have always used the fog area as a place of trial for selecting inner disciples, which is very dangerous.
At that time, Zhang and Lu were almost desperate, and they were swaying in the fog area with the cultivation of the fading period, which was almost a certain death.
Unfortunately, there is no end to the sky, and when they are about to give up, they find a swamp full of miasma.
In the middle of the swamp, they could clearly see a jade-like lotus root sinking and emitting bursts of alluring white light.
Although their cultivation was weak and their knowledge was scarce at that time, how could they not know that they had met a baby?
Almost as a reflex, the two of them rushed forward, not even thinking that there were usually spirit beasts next to the treasures.
Sure enough, just as they were excited, a roar pulled them back to reality, and they were slapped away with a flash of something resembling a tongue.
I don't know what shit luck I had, but this shot took them on the right path, and after a lot of twists and turns, they really got out.
This frightened them, and they swore that they would never get even half a step closer to the fog area again, and they had been cultivating silently.
But the desire for that treasure has not diminished at all, and when I checked the illustrated book later, I learned that it might be the priceless Xuanmu Jade Lotus, and I was even more excited, and I didn't let anyone find out about it.
Until the two of them broke through the spiritual period, they made an appointment to go to the fog area again, they were full of confidence, but unfortunately the fog area was too restrictive to the divine sense, and the two searched for several days, but returned in vain.
made Zhang Jingchun and Lu Xiaozhou angry for a long time.
In the end, Zhang Jingchun, who was still active, found a way and spent a lot of money to buy a magic weapon positioning disk.
It has no other purpose, it is to record the distance and locate the direction.
The two of them searched little by little, marking all the places they had searched.
The heavens may have been touched by their professionalism, but this time they quickly found the location of the swamp and saw the alluring Xuanmu Jade Lotus again.
It's a pity that the demon beast is smart, but it doesn't accompany them to fight, and has been waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, so that they don't dare to approach the Xuanji Jade Lotus, and they turn back again in vain.
The three failures made Zhang Jingchun and Lu Xiaozhou completely lose their patience.
They decided to start a forcible assault on the swamp, and in order to lure out the demon beasts, they found the seventh-layer straw hat boy, Wei Dengtai.
I thought to myself, we are in the spiritual period, you don't dare to show up, and in the face of the scum of the fading period, I am not afraid that you will not appear.
However, for the sake of safety, they still asked Wei Dengtai to find another monk in the Mortal Period, and in order to make Wei Dengtai believe, they also told the truth, and even promised to give the participants 20% of the spoils afterwards.
Speaking of this, Ji Xiao suddenly realized that daring is to let himself be bait!
Watching the excited straw hat boy Wei take the stage, Ji Xiao was secretly speechless, thinking, is it so fun to be cannon fodder?
At the same time, he also became angry with Zhang Lu and the others, such a simple scam may have deceived the naΓ―ve Wei Dengtai, but it could not deceive Ji Xiao.
Such a precious thing as the Xuanmu Jade Lotus, once you get it, you will never give it to outsiders, especially the little rookies in the fading period.
Killing people and grabbing treasures is commonplace in their eyes, and it is conceivable what will happen to the straw hats and Ji Xiao who have lost their use value.
Ji Xiao is really helpless about the straw hat, you say that you are naΓ―ve, forget it, why did you get me in if you have nothing to do? Now that you know their secret, it is impossible for you to leave.
Saying that, Ji Xiao also made up his mind to go.
Wealth and danger are sought, Xuanmu jade lotus, what many people dream of, and now they are very likely to get it, and there is no reason to retreat.
As for Zhang Lu and the others, Ji Xiao thought that one of them could be dealt with, and the two of them were a big deal to run away.
......
Back to reality.
Zhang Jingchun took a deep breath, it seemed that he couldn't bear to talk so much in one breath, looked at Ji Xiao and said, "Senior Brother Ji understands, this matter is dangerous, and it doesn't have to be ...... you."
Zhang Jingchun seemed to be smiling, as if he was saying, you can refuse if you want.
But there was already a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and Lu Xiaozhou next to him also quietly raised his momentum.
Ji Xiao has no doubt at all, as soon as he doesn't do it, the two of them will burst out in an instant, although it is not allowed to kill people for no reason in the sect, but it is inevitable that they will be injured by mistake when they learn from the same sect, and it is not good for others to say anything.
Sensing this, Ji Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "Since there is such a great creation, and it is invited by the two senior brothers, how can Ji Xiao not go? I just don't know when to act, after all, there are still three days before the outer gate Dabi starts." β
"This Senior Brother Ji can rest assured, the fog area will definitely be reached quickly at the speed of our Imperial Sword, and we have already marked that swamp, and it will not take much time to kill that evil beast with the strength of our two brothers, and it will definitely not affect Senior Brother to participate in the big competition." β
Zhang Jingchun laughed, and Lu Xiaozhou also relaxed his momentum, as if he was really happy about Ji Xiao's decision, but he occasionally shot out cold eyes, clearly saying, "I can't live long, what do you want to ...... big competition?"
Ji Xiao and Zhang Jingchun, two guys with their own ghosts, pretended to laugh here, and the only one who didn't know the truth was that the straw hat Wei was on stage, and he also laughed alongside him.
"Alright, now that the negotiations have been made and everything is ready, without further ado, let's go to the fog area now!"
Zhang Jingchun said that the fire of greed in his eyes can be said to have burned to the peak.
Lu Xiaozhou didn't say anything, just got up silently and stood behind Zhang Jingchun, the meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, okay, without further ado, let's go right away, we can't let others get ahead of us. β
Wei Dengtai's eyes were full of stars, and he was also eager to try, Ji Xiao was very helpless.
This stupid boy is not bad in qualifications, why is he so "upright" and rushed to die!
"Everything is up to Senior Brother Zhang, and it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, so you should indeed go early. β
Ji Xiao reluctantly agreed.
Zhang Jingchun nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a task jade card.
"This is the task of collecting the yang fat flower, which is a unique product of the outer part of the fog area, and no one will suspect it when we go there. β
Then Zhang Jingchun took the lead in laying the French seal inside, and then Lu Xiaozhou also concocted the same method.
Then Zhang Jingchun handed him to Ji Xiao and signaled that he would do the same, there was no way, Ji Xiao and the straw hat laid their own seals one by one.
"Alright, let's go, the goal is ...... Collect the yang fat flowers. β
Zhang Jingchun smiled coldly, and everyone set off.
......
In the middle of the Tianyang Mountain Range, within the annex of the Lianhua Sect, at the entrance of the fog area.
Four black-robed monks, two in front and two in the back.
The two black-robed monks in front of him, one bloated, the other thin and cold, were very incompatible.
It was Zhang Jingchun and Lu Xiaozhou.
The last two are naturally the straw hat boys Wei Dengtai and Ji Xiao.
I saw Zhang Jingchun in front of him say solemnly: "You must follow well when you enter the fog area later, you must not lose it, once you are far away, the divine consciousness in the fog area will not work." β
"What is this fog that can isolate the divine consciousness to the greatest extent?"
The Straw Hat looked curious.
"Compared to this, I would like to know more about what kind of demon beast can make the two senior brothers risk entering such a dangerous place as the Fog Zone?"
Ji Xiao asked jokingly, Zhang Jingchun frowned, his face was extremely bad, obviously very dissatisfied with Ji Xiao's rudeness.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you this, at that time, my two brothers were still in the realm of fading into the world, and they met a strange fox with half snow-white and half-fiery red fur in an experience, seeing that it was beautiful, we thought that if we handed it over to the Ice and Fire Fairy of the Beast God Sect, we would get a large reward, so we wanted to catch it, but it was too clever, we chased it for a long time, not only did we not get it, but we almost put ourselves in. β
Zhang Jingchun said indifferently, and the embarrassment was self-evident.
In the past, it may have been a pity that I didn't catch the Ice and Fire Fairy, but when I experienced more things, I might find that I fortunately didn't go to the Ice and Fire Fairy at that time......
Ji Xiao was speechless, the life of a low-level monk was too miserable, he had to keep running in order to survive, and he had to work harder in order to improve his cultivation.
All four of them were silent, whether it was once or now.
As long as there were low-level monks, this scene was immersed in emotion......
Zhang Jingchun and Lu Xiaozhou were reminiscing about the blood of the past, and Ji Xiao unconsciously thought of poor Luo Fei and even more pitiful himself, and thought of the crazy "me" when he fought against Netherworld.
Only the straw hat Wei appeared on stage with an unexpected expression that seemed to be very strange, and he seemed to be very puzzled.
After a long time, everyone regained their clarity, and everything returned to reality, no matter what, everything had to continue.
"This is the parent locator, the mother symbol I set nearby, the child symbol is one of us, even if it is lost, it will not be placed in the return. β
Zhang Jingchun took out a few jade talismans, and there was a positioning coordinate on them, indicating this place.
One person took a piece, a life-saving thing, you must be cautious, Ji Xiao is also the first time to see this kind of magical item, and carefully observed.
The fog area is very strange, it seems that the area and the outside of the area are distinct, and the fog in the area is thicker, and the farther away it is, the thicker it becomes.
Outside the area, the mountains and rivers are clean, and there is no difference.
The four of them walked cautiously through the fog, and the effect of their divine consciousness was really suppressed as Zhang Jingchun said, and Ji Xiao and the straw hat almost followed him several times.
