Chapter 15: Spiritual Veins
The empty cave, the only thing left was the small pits that were originally filled with stalactite spiritual liquid, but had now been taken away by Mo Xuan.
These small pits looked no different from the small pits that were randomly dug outside, and they were also very different from the pits that Mo Xuan dug to plant peach trees in his magic circle space, except for one.
In the small pit closest to the edge of the bottom of the cave, the bottom of the pit seemed to be somewhat different from the others.
"What is this?!" Mo Xuan walked to the edge of the pit and looked carefully at the bottom of the pit, yellow and turbid, but with an incomparable aura.
It looks like a crystal.
Stretched out his hand and touched the yellow crystal slightly, a wisp of coolness flowed into Mo Xuan's fingers from the crystal, and then flowed all over the body, but, it seems, this is just an ordinary aura, nothing special!
It's just, how do you feel that there is a little bit of pulsation inside the crystal?
Does this thing have life?
No way?
The puzzle on Mo Xuan's face deepened, and he stretched out his hand to probe down, and the rock at the bottom of the pit didn't seem to be as hard as it looked, but very soft, as if it was soft soil.
"What's the secret under this pit?!" Mo Xuan said secretly, but his hand tightened, and soon, the pit was enlarged several times by him, and the true face of the road came out below.
"Oh my mother!" Mo Xuan gasped after seeing the things underneath.
"What a big piece of jade!"
When the rock and soil below were cleared, a yellow piece of jade flowing with a sparkling treasure light appeared in front of Mo Xuan's eyes.
Mo Xuan didn't know how big this piece of jade was, because what was displayed in front of him was only a small part, it seemed that this piece of jade should be a whole, looking at this giant topaz, a strange thought appeared in Mo Xuan's mind.
"Didn't I dig up the spiritual veins of Penglai Immortal Mountain?!"
Spiritual veins!!
It is the legendary root of the blessed land, the spirit of the cave.
At the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, the chaotic qi was scattered, flowing between heaven and earth, but the distribution was not uniform, there were many places, some places were few, Pangu was falling, and all things were born, and these chaotic qi between heaven and earth also began to decompose and reorganize, the so-called clear is the sky, and the turbid is the earth, which is only a part of the form of the transformation of chaotic qi.
A part of the uniform energy is scattered between heaven and earth, is the power of the primordial spirit, at the beginning of the primeval flood, the power of the primordial spirit is like the current air, full of the flood, and in addition to these uniform primordial power, those distributed together the primordial energy began to slowly melt together over time, I don't know how many thousands of years later, these combined energies condensed into a liquid, and then from the liquid into a solid, but, after all, these combined together the primordial qi is not much, at that time, the most in the world is the pure qi in the sky and the turbidity on the ground, followed by the power of the primordial spirit scattered between heaven and earth。
Gradually, these combined energies were wrapped in those pure and turbid energies, layer after layer.
This is the prototype of the original fairy mountain blessed land.
These vitality, or spiritual veins, are like nutrients, nourishing these places, so that the spiritual vitality of these places is abundant, and the spiritual energy of the creatures bred is compelling, and over time, the creatures in these places are interdependent with the spiritual veins that nourish them, forming a biological cycle with a good surname, the spiritual energy is becoming more and more abundant, and the spiritual veins are getting stronger and stronger.
And what Mo Xuan saw in front of him was the spiritual vein of this Penglai Immortal Mountain.
In the general cave heaven blessed land, this spiritual vein is deeply buried in the ground and connected with the earth's veins, but for some reason, the spiritual veins of this Penglai Immortal Mountain are actually in the belly of the mountain, and Mo Xuan is eyes are full of golden light.
"No, my character has always been not very good!" Mo Xuan stood there, his eyes glazed, in fact, he still didn't believe his eyes, he just wanted to come here to dig two grasses, why did he dig out this spiritual vein?
Mo Xuan swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and his hands hanging on his waist couldn't help but tremble.
This is a spiritual vein, a legendary spiritual vein, a spiritual vein formed by the condensation of vitality during the primeval flood period.
This Penglai Immortal Island has been famous for countless years, and it has survived a catastrophe without falling, what does it rely on? Isn't it this spiritual vein?
Now that this spiritual vein is in front of him, what can he do?
People say that when you are lucky, someone will send a pillow if you want to sleep, but now Mo Xuan thinks it is not, if your luck is really good, when you want to sleep, not only will someone else send you a pillow, but also a bed, a quilt and a big beauty.
This is called real luck.
Mo Xuan is now a lucky person.
Stretched out his hands, his palms against the piece of spiritual vein he dug out, rubbing greedily, the corners of his mouth dripping with crystal saliva and letting out a hehehe stupid laugh.
"Mine, all mine, this vein is mine!" his body was almost attached to the yellow vein.
It took him a long time to recover from his gaffe, and he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
His eyes lit up and stared at the spiritual vein in front of him, "No, I'll see how big this thing is first, I can't fit it in the magic circle space!" As he spoke, he began to dig carefully along the surface of the spiritual vein, the gentle movements, the focused eyes, I don't know, I thought he was wiping the body for the beauty, I think back then, I haven't been so careful and gentle for the beauty to wipe the body.
It took four or five hours for this whole piece of spiritual vein to show its true form.
"Well, no, this game seems to be too big!" Mo Xuan suspended above the entire spiritual vein, his left hand supported his right elbow, and the thumb and index finger of his right hand touched his chin, secretly comparing the size of this thing in his heart, the shape is not very regular, but it is at least dozens of miles wide, and the height is about three or four miles. Mo Xuan was in a dilemma, "It's bigger than the volume of my magic circle space, and it doesn't seem to be able to fit there." ”
Suddenly, his eyes moved, "What are you afraid of, anyway, I still have a green jade gourd, let's use the gourd to put him in first, anyway, there is a great god in my space, let him think of a way!"
Mo Xuan thought of Kong Xuan in the space of the magic circle, this guy who could even be slaughtered by a saint might have a way.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, put his hand on the mouth of the green jade gourd, and twisted the magic slightly.
"Collect!"
The piece of spiritual vein shook for a moment, and with a brush, it was sucked into the green jade gourd.
There was an eerie silence all around, and the silence was very gloomy.
You know, this spiritual vein and the entire Penglai Immortal Mountain is closely linked, their energy is also circulating with each other, the spiritual vein in Penglai to replenish the aura at the same time, the Penglai Immortal Mountain on all kinds of treasures are also moisturizing the spiritual vein, long-term circulation, endless, therefore, there is this Penglai Immortal Mountain is now in full bloom.
Now this spiritual vein was suddenly cut off, just like a rushing river that suddenly lost its way forward, and the huge spiritual energy that swept from the immortal mountain no longer had a place to live, and all of them rushed into the void left after the spiritual vein disappeared.
Although the hole is big, but without the support of the spiritual vein, where can it accommodate the aura of the entire Penglai Immortal Mountain, which is a behemoth that is 10,000 miles high and 10,000 miles long.
Therefore, very uncreative, after the aura of the immortal mountain retracted, the whole void burst open.
Mo Xuan flashed into the interlayer of the space in time, but this is not safe, this huge aura contains a variety of energy, including a lot of energy that can travel through the interlayer, so, even if he flashed into the interlayer, Mo Xuan still had to dodge left and right, and suddenly, Mo Xuan felt several powerful divine thoughts sweeping towards the belly of the mountain, before he reacted.
Now is not the time to stay here.
This Penglai Mountain is known as the first immortal mountain overseas, it has been stored in this world for I don't know how many years, God knows what kind of alien Gu Immortal is hidden in this mountain, and he broke the spiritual vein of this Penglai Mountain, which is equivalent to destroying their home, not running away quickly, and standing here stupidly, sick?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
The figure turned into a streamer, and left Penglai as fast as possible, after leaving Penglai, he did not dare to return to Moyun Mountain immediately, but flew straight to the east.
Almost at the same time as he left, countless figures began to shoot into the void where he had just been, in fact, it could no longer be called a void, the entire mountain peak was blown away by the huge aura, leaving only a void.
Penglai Island is in shambles.
To tell the truth, the cliff is not there, in this Penglai Immortal Island, which is known as thousands of miles long, thousands of miles high, thousands of miles wide, it is just an inconspicuous hill, at the edge of the whole Penglai Immortal Island, there are usually no immortals, and the immortals here are also some low-status scattered immortals on the island, but no one thought that here, it turned out to be the spiritual vein of the entire Penglai Immortal Island, and I did not expect that one day, the spiritual vein of Penglai Immortal Island would be dug up, not to mention that once this spiritual vein disappeared, such a big explosion would occur.
Several of the highest peaks of Penglai Mountain, which is known as 10,000 miles high, were cut off by Qi Gen, and the vitality of the riot flew in all directions, and a large pit with a diameter of more than 100 miles and a depth of more than 10 miles appeared with the mountain rock as the center.
No one was killed or even injured in the explosion, and for them, it was as if the scattered vitality was blowing a gust of wind in their ears.
Just a gust of wind.
It's just that this gust of wind makes everyone feel distressed, hated, and makes them want to commit suicide.
The vitality began to drain rapidly, a large number of exotic flowers and plants began to wither, and the spiritual fruits that had been cultivated for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years also began to stop growing after these vitality dissipated, as the bottom of the entire Penglai Immortal Island food chain, these spiritual flowers and fairy grasses are undoubtedly the most important link, without them, those rare birds and beasts that feed on grass will naturally not stay here, without these herbivorous creatures, those carnivorous creatures will naturally not live very well, coupled with the complete dissipation of this aura, it will not take long, at most a month, this Penglai Immortal Island will be no different from other places in the world, is no longer the blessed land on earth that everyone envies, is no longer the cultivation paradise that all immortals yearn for, and is no longer the head of the overseas immortal mountain that is enough to compete with the heavenly court, here, it will be just an ordinary island, occasionally there may be one or two scattered immortals who see that this place is quiet and big, and they will choose to live here, maybe there will be one or two fishermen who go to sea to discover this island, after a hundred years and two hundred years, it may become an island country, and name this sacred and desirable place after their own name, and after another ten thousand or twenty thousand years, no one will even remember or remember that there was such a place。
This is the future of Penglai Xiandao.
Countless immortals began to gather here, and they, all immortals on this island, were all stunned by this sudden change.
The inner and outer three layers surrounded the place, and each one of them looked forward, as if they wanted to see something in this nothingness.
Although there are many people, their expressions are almost the same, nothing more than two kinds, one is shock, the other is anger, that's all.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on here?!" Finally, after a dead silence, someone spoke, his fat robe trembling with anger, his eyes full of devouring anger, and a pinch of mustache on his lips jumping with the twisting of his muscles, "What the hell is going on!" Finally, he couldn't help but roar.
Isn't it? He was refining the elixir in the furnace, leading the aura of the leylines to nourish the elixir in his furnace, his furnace pill had been refining for nearly a thousand years, and it was finally time to open the furnace, and the aura was suddenly dispersed in an explosion, and the thousand-year-old efforts were ruined, and the spiritual grass and fairy branches that had been collected from all over the country had all turned into a pile of useless ashes, even if it was a Buddha, there was fire, not to mention, this person had not yet practiced to the realm of a Buddha.
Many of the immortals present had the same experience as him, oh no, it should be said that except for a small number of pure lazy immortals, the others had similar experiences to him, and there were many people who suffered much more than him.
Therefore, after he shouted, there was an echo around him, followed by noisy discussions, shouting and scolding, and suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and these immortals didn't care about their own image, and some of them began to shout and curse at the top of their throats.
All of a sudden, tens of thousands of immortals stood in mid-air and shouted, and the scene was very spectacular.
It's just that this spectacular scene didn't last long, and a faint ripple of power began to ripple from the deepest part of the island.
The power is gentle, warm, full of spirit and calming power.
The surrounding voices gradually quieted down.
Without anyone noticing, five people appeared in the center of the crowd.
None of the immortals could see how they appeared, and even most of the immortals thought that they were standing there in the first place, and only those immortals who were standing beside them now knew that there was no one by their side in the first place.
The five people stood there quietly, standing in the center was a middle-aged Taoist man wearing a royal blue robe, his face was like a full moon, a pair of black eyebrows were five or six inches long, a pair of eyes were not big, but extremely distant, revealing an unexpected cold light, and beside him, there was an old man in a golden robe, holding an old cane in his hand, the folds on his face were layered, and a pair of small eyes that shot sharply were almost completely covered by the folds on his eyelids, and he was lying on his back, coughing twice from time to time.
The breath that made everyone quiet came from his body.
And the three stars around them, the only thing that is the same is that they are all staring at the void in the center in a daze.
It's strange to say, they didn't speak, and the surrounding immortals also shut up one by one, and the surroundings returned to a dead silence.
The golden-robed old man sighed deeply for a long time, "Penglai is finished!!" and without any further action, his body slowly disappeared into the air.
The three people behind him nodded at the same time and disappeared.
For some reason, all the immortals around could faintly hear how there was a slight sense of schadenfreude in this voice.
The blue-robed Daoist stood there, his eyes staring at the center of the explosion, as if he was carefully observing something, and suddenly, he snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and disappeared.
At this time, the immortals realized that except for the three people standing behind the old man in the golden robe, they knew each other, who were the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, no one knew the other two, but there were tens of thousands of immortals practicing on these three immortal mountains, and it was not uncommon not to know them.
It's just that this immortal mountain is ruined, and the foundation of everyone's cultivation is gone, so they naturally refuse to give up, and at the moment, after fighting for a while, most of the nearly 50,000 immortals who originally cultivated on Penglai Immortal Mountain agreed to form an alliance to find out what happened here, whether it was a natural disaster or [***], if it was a natural disaster, naturally there was nothing to say, but if it was [***], naturally we must find out this person and settle accounts with him.
In the end, in addition to some lazy and idle immortals, tens of thousands of immortals gathered together and selected six immortals whose strength was in the Taitian position as leaders to investigate this matter.
It's just that although the truth of the facts has not been concealed, it has responded to the saying that the truth is always in the hands of a few.
This group of immortals made a vigorous fuss for a long time, but there was no result, and finally, after a thousand years, they came to a conclusion that this incident was a natural disaster, beyond the reach of man, and ended hastily.
And Mo Xuan, but he had already paid the price for his bad behavior, of course, these costs were not worth mentioning compared to his own benefits.
These are all later words, and we will talk about them later.
But it was said that this Mo Xuan slipped away with dirty, and just in case, he flew eastward for about millions of miles, and after confirming that no one was tracking him, he plunged into his magic circle space.
Kong Xuan was still sleeping, and seemed to find him coming in, his slightly closed eyes moved slightly, and he turned over on the boulder, but he didn't answer Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan didn't know each other and leaned forward and pushed the Kong Xuan.
"Senior, wake up, senior......!"
"Hmm?!What do you want to do?!" Kong Xuan opened his eyes impatiently, "If you dig up any fairy grass, just plant it yourself, don't bother me!"
"No, senior, the junior went out this time and inadvertently got a baby!"
"Baby?!" Kong Xuan frowned, "What baby, didn't you touch a lot of treasures from Jiang Ziya, what do you want so many treasures?!"
"Hehe, that's different!" Mo Xuan said, "This time it's different, it will definitely surprise you, senior?!"
"Surprised?!" Kong Xuan sneered, for many years, what he looked down on the most was the treasure, except for a few innate spirit treasures, other treasures would not look at it.
Seeing a look of disbelief on Kong Xuan's face, Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Senior, please look!"
Untied the green jade gourd from his waist and gently twisted it towards the mouth of the gourd, the spiritual veins that were contained in the gourd revealed the tip of the iceberg, and the overwhelming aura followed, instantly filling the entire magic circle space.
"Poof-!!" Kong Xuan squirted out a mouthful of wine, and the wine jar in his hand also fell, his eyes were as wide as a cow, bigger than a bull's eye, pointing to the spiritual veins at the mouth of the gourd, and gasping for breath, "You-you thing--where did you get it-!"
"How about senior, this baby is good!" Mo Xuan did not answer his words, but said a little proudly.
"You...... You don't want to live anymore?!" Kong Xuan said, "This ...... You dare to grab this kind of thing?!"
"No...... It's not a robbery, it's a mistake!"
"Inadvertently discovered?!" That Kong Xuan recovered a little calm from the shock, and looked at Mo Xuan with a look of disbelief, "This is impossible, this thing will not cross ten in this world now, and it all has a master, let's say, overseas Three Immortal Islands, which one did you give the scourge?!"
"Hehe, seniors are seniors, I can't hide anything from you!" Mo Xuan salivated and smiled, "That's the case, this is Penglai's spiritual vein!" As he spoke, he just said what he encountered on Penglai Immortal Island, in fact, there was nothing to hide, and he was counting on the old monster in front of him to help him make this spiritual vein smaller and bury it in his own magic circle space.
"Peng...... Penglai?!" Kong Xuan looked at him with an incredulous face, "You...... You actually found Penglai's spiritual vein/!!"
"Yes, it's Penglai's spiritual vein!" Mo Xuan said, seeing that the expression on Kong Xuan's face was a little strange, he asked, "Is there something wrong?" senior?!"
"There's nothing wrong!" Kong Xuan smiled, "You asked me to shrink this spiritual vein a little bit and bury it in your magic circle space?!"
"Yes!" Mo Xuan nodded repeatedly.
Kong Xuan rolled his eyes, looked at the spiritual vein, and connected his fingers, "Put it away, put it away, I'll talk about it later!"
"Why?!" Mo Xuan asked.
"Why?" Kong Xuan said helplessly, "You know, I don't know what to say now!"
"Senior, don't scare me, it's just the spiritual vein of an immortal mountain, anyway, no one knows that I did it, and no one can enter my magic circle space, only you don't say it, if I don't say it, no one will know!"
"No one knows, no one can come to your magic circle space!" Kong Xuan sneered, "Since the existence of the primeval flood to the present, should you be in vain!" sighed faintly, "This Penglai is known as the head of the overseas immortal mountain, since the primeval flood to the present, I don't know how many years have passed, if you let you dig up the spiritual vein, boy, do you know, you are doing evil!!"
"Uh!" Mo Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and a bad premonition hit his heart.
Sure enough, this Kong Xuan continued, "Boy, you have to have a degree in everything you do, what you can do and what you can't do, and you must have a number in your heart, your mind is mature, and you are hundreds of years old, and you can be regarded as a demon king calling for wind and rain outside, how can you do things so ignorantly, do you know how much trouble you have caused?!"
"Senior, there is ...... Is it that serious?!"
"What do you say!" Kong Xuan snorted coldly, "That Penglai Immortal Mountain has existed since the ancient flood period, since ancient times, I don't know how many cultivators have practiced there, for them, this Penglai is their hometown, maybe they have left, maybe they are no longer in this space, but, once you know that it is you who broke the Penglai spiritual vein, you think they will let you go, don't think that the predecessors are all good men and women, tell you, the older the guys who live, the smaller the heart!"
"Also, there are still tens of thousands of cultivators on this Penglai Immortal Mountain, among these people, as far as I know, at least ten of them have reached the water level of the Taitian Rank, this time, you cut off their spiritual veins, the losses caused to them are absolutely unimaginable, do you think they will let you go?!"
"Anyway, no one sees me!" Mo Xuan thought to himself.
"Do you think you're running fast and no one sees you?!"
Mo Xuan nodded, and his heart finally began to feel worried.
That Kong Xuan sneered, stretched out his hand, and a circle was drawn in the void space, and a transparent glass mirror appeared between the two.
"This is called time regression, it can clearly reflect what happened in a place, according to the level of mana and the content of the backtracking to determine the length of forward time, the higher the mana, the longer the time point that can be seen, as long as there is enough mana, you can even see what happened during the primeval flood!" With his voice, the hollow between the mountains and rocks appeared in the realm, the stalactites, the stone pit containing the stalactite, and even the things floating on the stone pit, all emerged one by one.
Mo Xuan's cold sweat flowed down his neck, this should be the situation before he appeared.
Then, a figure stepped out of the void, looking at the back, it was not himself.
Seeing this scene, Mo Xuan almost closed his eyes, not daring to look at it anymore.
"Hey, interesting!" At this moment, Kong Xuan suddenly made a suspicious sound, and the mirror in front of him suddenly shook and shattered.
Kong Xuan turned his head and looked at him, "A good news, and a bad news, which one do you want to hear?!"
Mo Xuan looked at Kong Xuan in disbelief, "Let's listen first!"
"The good news is that someone helped you turn it on, that is, no one can calculate or find out with any mana, you did it, provided that no one really sees you do it!"
"No, absolutely not!" Mo Xuan said affirmatively, "What about the bad news?"
(To be continued)
