Chapter 04: Demon Lotus
“......”
Looking at the two silently, Aroye was speechless.
She also knows a little about Xiao Rubai, although the two of them have not said who "she" refers to at the moment, but A Luoye naturally knows it. Xiao Rubai went to Jinju in order to get drunk.
The reason why she was silent was because she knew Qin Chuan's heart, and it was very likely that she would leave what was in front of her to help Xiao Rubai, after all, Qin Chuan had also talked to her a little bit about the situation of being drunk. Xiao Rubai had helped the Holy Witch Sect, and she had a deep friendship with her, so it didn't hurt to let Qin Chuan go, but ......
Now Qin Chuan's own situation is a little bad.
If you go and encounter danger again, what should you do?
For a moment, Aroye hesitated.
After Xiao Rubai finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh rather melancholy, presumably the situation at the moment when he heard people drunk must have made him worried. But in just a moment, he collected his emotions and glanced at Qin Chuan:
"You've been reborn after this catastrophe, and you're in a bad state. ”
"Hoo ......"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan shrugged his shoulders. Don't think about it, your state was understood by Xiao Rubai.
"When I came out of the valley, the valley lord said that the Central Plains catastrophe was coming. You don't have to think about other things, refine your body well, and when the storm is surging, you can have a foothold. Jinzhou, it's good for me to go alone, not to mention, the matter between her and the predecessors of the Jade Sword Immortal, except for me, it is not good for others to interfere anymore. ”
“......”
Before Qin Chuan could speak, he swallowed it back into his stomach because of Xiao Rubai's words.
Indeed, Wen Ren is drunk and Liu Shenyan has a big enmity, and if he helps Xiao Rubai to save Wen Ren Drunk, it will be a little difficult to face Liu Shenyan. It seems that only Xiao Rubai has solved it by himself.
"If there's any trouble, just let me know. ”
After a long time, Qin Chuan said a word to Xiao Rubai.
Immediately, Xiao Rubai smiled, glanced at the sky, looked at Qin Chuan and his wife with some doubts, and asked, "What are you doing in this wilderness and deep mountains?"
"If only that's the case. ”
Qin Chuan laughed at himself, "I came to this mountain to find the Nanming Fire Spirit. ”
"Nanming Fire Spirit?"
"By the way, since Xiaoyao Valley is here, then presumably Brother Xiao must be haunting this place from time to time. On weekdays, do you find a place with a strong aura around here, or a strange place?"
Thinking about it, Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
Although the Nan Ke Sect Master pointed out that the Nanming Fire Spirit was hidden in this deep mountain, he also sensed it by chance, but its exact location was unknown. Qin Chuan and A Luo Ye set off from Qingming Mountain at noon and arrived here in the evening, but after searching for a long time, they did not find any whereabouts, so they were distressed.
When you meet Xiao Rubai at this moment, you may be able to find out some information.
"Hmmm......"
Hearing Qin Chuan's question, Xiao Rubai pondered for a long time, and soon his expression froze, and then said:
"Not far to the west, there should be a cave. I once went in and out of the valley, and I happened to smell a strange smell in the place, and when I heard the sound and went away, I could not find the cave. ”
"How can such a bizarre thing happen?"
"That's the only time. Later, I went to the cave again, and the cave remained unchanged, and when I went in to investigate, I found nothing strange about it. I don't know, is it the place you are looking for?"
"Just take a look. ”
Qin Chuan froze and glanced at A Luoye.
The image of the void and the real, if it is not for the supernatural creation like this valley or the valley of ghosts, it is undoubtedly illusion. And there is a master of illusion by his side, so he doesn't need to be afraid.
Aroye nodded.
Subsequently, Qin Chuan and Xiao Rubai said a few words casually, the deeper the night, Xiao Rubai's heart had other thoughts, so he didn't stay longer, quit Qin Chuan and his wife, and went east overnight.
And Qin Chuan and the others also immediately went to the cave.
......
Between the foothills, strange rocks are craggy.
The steep mountain obscured the moonlight, and the stone forest became a little darker. The cold mountain wind swept up from time to time, and the cold to the bones made Aluoye, who was not good at keeping out the cold, cry bitterly.
The Nanming Fire Essence is strong, but it sprouts in a cold place, and the most vigorous Nanming Fire Essence in the world, which was once refined into an immortal sword swallowing Wu by the Changfeng of Jingxuzi Valley, was found in the land of the extreme northern glacier. Feeling this situation, Qin Chuan's heart couldn't help but throb a little, and he took A Luoye's hand and kept exploring.
I could feel it, and the fire spirit was right in front of me.
did not deliberately look for it, but after walking a few steps, a dark and deep cave appeared in front of Qin Chuan and the others. The chill that seemed to penetrate the soul came from the cave, and there was only darkness, leading to the depths of the mountain, and more like, to the legendary Netherworld.
"Gu art?"
Suddenly, Aroye's face changed, and he muttered to himself.
“?!”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan was also slightly startled, and turned his eyes to look at A Luoye.
But I saw that Ah Luoye, who was still slightly curled up because of the severe cold, suddenly became natural at this moment, and for some reason, his breath became a little dignified, and he seemed to feel something.
"In this cave, someone has been inflicted on my Western Frontier's extremely clever phantom Gu, presumably Xiao Rubai couldn't find out the truth at the beginning, and it is here, except for a few masters in my Western Frontier, Luo Wolf They may not be able to see it. ”
Aroye explained, and then his face sank:
"It's just, in this Central Plains, why is there a breath of Gu magic?"
“...... Just take a look. ”
Qin Chuan pondered for a while, and then made up his mind, "At this moment, the illusion has already been solved, right?"
"Hmm. ”
Aroye nodded.
The illusion has lost the continuity of the master of the magic, and with the passage of time, it will naturally gradually dissipate, and the Western Frontier Illusion Gu Zi will be no exception. This is also the reason why Xiao Rubai was able to see this cave again.
"Let's go. ”
After saying a word, Qin Chuan grabbed A Luoye's body and walked towards the cave step by step. At this moment, the Jiuyao glazed cup hung in the air, standing above the two of them, trying its best to gather the thin fire attribute aura, emitting a warm red light, dispelling the cold while barely illuminating the cave a little.
But this cave is not deep, and after walking a hundred steps, it reaches the bottom of the cave.
It is a natural cave that is hardly ever touched. The feet are full of soil, and the rocks on the two walls are also overgrown with various shade-loving plants, which are quite lush and even more secluded.
And at the bottom of the cave, among the weeds, grows a strange plant. It is like a red lotus, but it is several times larger, and the huge lotus leaves cover the grass under it, but the top of the lotus flower should have grown, but only half of the truncated stem has been stretched out, and the years have passed, and there are still no more flowers.
It seems that it was taken away very early.
Perhaps, it may have something to do with the change in Xiao Rubai's memory.
“......”
Aroye stared at the plant in a daze.
In the darkness, Qin Chuan didn't notice A Luoye's expression, he only closed his eyes and stared for a long time, then opened his eyes, bent down and picked up a few scattered lotus seeds from between the soil.
"It seems that the person who took the lotus flower does not know that among these lotus seeds, it is the place where the Nanming fire essence is cultivated. Fortunately, it wasn't preempted, otherwise it wouldn't have been fun. ”
Saying that, Qin Chuan was a little happy in his heart.
However, when he came back to his senses, he finally noticed Aroye's expression. Following Aroye's gaze, he also stared at the strange plant, contemplating and thinking. Qin Chuan was not good at this, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what the name of this plant was, so he turned his head and asked:
"But what's so weird?"
"I don't know how the Central Plains calls it, but in the Western Xinjiang, this thing is called the Blood Demon Lotus. ”
"Blood Demon Lotus?"
Qin Chuan was slightly stunned.
Just hearing the name, I already think it's hoodoo. Originally, the purpose of coming here was for the Nanming Fire Essence, and he didn't care about anything else, but when he heard what Luo Ye said this time, he couldn't help but be a lot more cautious.
"Husband, do you remember Tanaro?"
Suddenly, A Luo Ye turned his head and looked at Qin Chuan with frowning eyebrows, "Back then, in the Western Frontier, Tanaro used to secretly study a forbidden technique, and one of them was to take the lotus flower of this blood demon lotus as a guide. Later, when it was discovered, he did not continue to study, and his pair of legs were punished for this. ”
"Tanaro ......"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan silently recited a sentence.
This name, how can I not remember.
At that time, I had experienced the turbulent years in Western Xinjiang. Pan Gu made Tanaro collude with the Han family to plot against the western frontier, but was defeated by the Holy Witch Cult revived by Aroye, and then fled into the Central Plains.
Speaking of which, this is still a huge hidden danger.
"The phantom Gu outside the cave was also done by Tanaro?"
Thinking about it, Qin Chuan asked in a deep voice.
"I can't think of anyone else but him. ”
A Luo Ye responded, and his eyebrows also rose with great worry, "In order to take care of the overall situation, I didn't send someone to chase him down, so he fled into the Central Plains. After entering the Qingying Mountain, I also asked people to investigate around, but there was still no news of him. Now, a few years later, it seems that he can't hold it anymore. ”
“......”
Qin Chuan was silent.
Tanaro's ambitions will certainly not fade with time. And if he succeeds, the most dangerous ones are undoubtedly the Holy Witch Cult and Aroye. What's more, his ambitions are not only in Western Xinjiang......
"That so-called forbidden ......"
"No less than corpse poison!"
Facing Qin Chuan's gaze, A Luoye replied in a deep voice.
The two were silent.
The Jiuyao glazed cup was suspended in the air, and the faint red light was shining, with an indescribable sense of mystery. In this cave, the chill is even worse, hitting the depths of the heart for a long time.
"Hoo ......"
After a long time, Qin Chuan let out a long sigh of relief, but it instantly swept away the gloom in his heart.
Over the years, have you experienced fewer calamities? How can you be afraid of a mere Tanaro? The soldiers are coming to block him, and the water is just covering up. Besides, just found a blood demon lotus, the forbidden technique of destroying the heavens and the earth has not been completed, so why be afraid?
"Let's go. ”
Qin Chuan gently took Luo Ye's hand, "Go back and let Luo Wolf step up his investigation and nip Tanaro's conspiracy in the bud." He is a Tanaro, can he still be more dangerous than the original 3,000 righteous path encirclement?"
"Hmm!"
Aroye nodded.
Let Qin Chuan hold his hand, but there was a sense of security that had never weakened from beginning to end.
