Chapter 129: Black Water
The second senior sister and a group of four people followed Fu Bo to Senior Brother Zhang's room to investigate. Senior Brother Zhang's room has two rooms, the first one is the bedroom, and the second one is the secret room, which is used for practicing meditation. Both rooms are clear at a glance, the furniture is simple, and although they have been away for more than a month, they are still spotless.
Fu Bo knew that the second senior sister was not only the young master's fellow disciple, but also had a great relationship. Seeing that a few people were looking carefully, as if they were looking for something, he took the initiative to say: "Next door to the little master's room, there is a study room for his own use, which is also the place he likes to stay in since he was a child, since you are here, you might as well go and have a look." ”
Wang first followed the second senior sister, and then entered the bedroom door, a study next door. The study is surrounded by rows of mahogany shelves on all four walls, and the shelves are stacked with books. In the middle of the room is a desk with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc.
The fourth senior brother had taken the test of a mortal talent, and he was quite knowledgeable, and he was happy to see the books, so he browsed the books on the shelves with great interest.
Wang Xian followed the second senior sister, and as soon as he entered the door, he quickly noticed a map under the paperweight on the table. The two of them walked quickly to the desk and carefully checked the map, and at this time, the seventh senior brother also came over.
This is a very old parchment map, with three ancient seal characters in the upper right corner: "Black Water Cliff"
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all thought of the second-rate sect of Sanqin Prefecture, the headquarters of the Black Water Gate, and the Black Water Cliff. This study is a special study room for Senior Brother Zhang, he put the map of Heishuimen on the desk, is it ready to take action, and he feels unpredictable, and is prepared for the worst?
The three of them began to carefully examine the map again, and the map was densely marked with various lines. From this detailed map, you can clearly see the peaks and valleys of the mountains and rivers, the pavilion secret room and the light and dark passages of the Black Water Gate. Everyone secretly wondered, how could this ancient secret map be in the hands of Senior Brother Zhang?
In the center of a rather hidden underground vault on the map, a flame is drawn with a red brush, and although the flame has turned reddish due to its age, it is still obvious that this place is different from other black and white pictures.
The three of them quickly remembered the same spiritual object: "Black Fire." ”
On the way here, several people had discussed the large and small cultivation forces along the way, among which the second-rate sect in the east of the three Qinzhou Prefectures, the Black Water Gate, also attracted everyone's attention. The headquarters of Heishui Gate is located in Heishui Cliff, the cliff is thousands of feet high, the Heishui Cliff is surrounded by the Heishui Mountain Range that stretches for more than ten miles, and the Heishui Cliff is located in the middle of the mountain range, the highest peak of the Black Water Peak.
The north-facing side of the mountainside slashed straight down as if it had been slashed by a heavenly axe. The cliff valley is sandwiched by two adjacent valleys to form a black pool. This waterhole is said to have been formed for hundreds of thousands of years, and its name is water, which is actually a kind of black fire oil.
Although the black water pool is not big, the bottom of the pool is said to be thousands of zhang deep, and through the eye of the bottom of the pool, it is intermittently connected to the 10,000-year-old earth fire in the depths of the ground. The black fire oil in the pond is ignited at one point, and the firepower is pure, and it is a spiritual object for refining the middle-level fire surnamed Xuanqi. Ten thousand years of earth fire, after the tunnel blocked by cold fire ash all year round, rushed out of the eye of the earth once every hundred years. Every time it rushes out, it will burn all the black fire oil in the black water pool and burn it into a black flame.
In this kind of flame, the inner flame is the red of the red eye, but the outer flame is as black as thick ink. Once it is stained, the Jindan monks can't get rid of it, and can only be burned down. Black Flame is the main material for refining high-level fire surname mysteries and runes, and it is also one of the fire flames that can be used to refine high-level elixirs, and even high-level formations of fire surnames can also use it.
However, the black flame only comes out once in a hundred years, and it has naturally become the treasure of the town sect of the Black Water Gate, which is hidden deep in the secret room by the Black Water Gate, and is guarded by the formation and the foundation building monks. As a second-rate sect, Heishuimen has average strength, with two monks in the Jindan period and more than ten monks in the foundation building period. Compared with the first-class sects, there is a big difference in strength.
Heishuimen is very happy to read, and does not attach itself to the neighboring Lingyin Sect, but befriends with the other two first-class sects that are far away, but does not want to be swallowed up by the first-class sect. There are two Jindan monks in the gate, one is the master of the Heishui Gate in the early stage of Jindan, and the other is the great elder in the middle of Jindan.
At this time, the fourth senior brother, who had been looking at the bookshelf for a while, also noticed that everyone had made a discovery, and gathered around and looked at the map. The four of them understood that this picture must be related to Senior Brother Zhang's whereabouts, so they all took out their own jade slips, scanned them on the map, and used their divine sense to print all the contents of the map in the slip.
The four of them took a closer look at the rest of the study, and found no noteworthy traces, so they left the study and, led by Fauber, came to the outside of several adjacent wings. The four of them let Fu Bo go by himself, and then entered a side room, sat around the table, and discussed countermeasures.
The second senior sister frowned and said worriedly: "Senior Brother Zhang left this picture at home, which means that he went to Heishuimen, and he has not been heard from for a month, which seems to be related to Heishuimen." ”
The seventh senior brother said: "This Black Water Gate, the most attractive thing is the Black Fire Flame. Once you get a black flame flame, with the strength of the sect, you will definitely be able to refine the high-level Xuanwu sword with the surname of the fire family. ”
The Seventh Senior Brother knew that Senior Brother Zhang was the Three Spirit Roots of Gold, Wood and Fire, and the high-grade fire sword must be something he had longed for for a long time.
The fourth senior brother frowned and said: "The cultivation realm knows that the Black Water Gate has a black flame, but how easy is it to get it? The Black Water Gate regards it as the treasure of the Zhen Sect, there are high-level large array mountain guards in the gate, there are many monks, and there are also two first-class sects, how can Senior Brother Zhang easily get into danger with his own strength?"
Wang Xian said solemnly: "If you want to find out Senior Brother Zhang's whereabouts, you still have to go to the vicinity of Heishui Gate." We flew all the way and didn't pass directly through the Black Water Gate, but only passed through his sphere of influence, and didn't find anything abnormal. ”
The other three nodded one after another, and the second senior sister said, "Then it's decided, tomorrow morning we will go to the vicinity of Heishuimen to inquire about the news." In order to avoid too many people startling the snakes, we will go to Shuoyang Town, a hundred miles away from Heishuimen, tomorrow to inquire about the news, which is the sphere of influence of Heishuimen. When he arrived near Shuoyang Town, let one person enter the town and find a way to lure a monk from the foundation period of Heishuimen out of the town, and the other three set up an ambush nearby to try to capture him. ”
Everyone agreed in unison and went back to their rooms to rest. Early the next morning, everyone got on a phoenix boat and flew to Shuoyang Town, two hundred miles away. When we arrived in the sky thirty miles away from Shuoyang Town, more than two hours had passed. The mid-level forbidden formation has been activated on the phoenix boat, and a burst of light smoke and white mist envelops the phoenix boat, and the divine sense and sight of the outside world cannot be detected.
The second senior sister lowered the phoenix boat at a narrow path a few miles away from the north gate of the town. This road is the only way from the town to Heishuimen, and it is also the road with the shortest flight distance. On both sides are small hills made of large and small rocks, and the phoenix boat falls in the middle of several boulders on the side of the road. The second senior sister proposed to let Wang Xian or the seventh senior brother enter the town and lure a Heishuimen monk out, while the other three hid in the boat and ambushed the monk.
Wang Xian and the seventh senior brother rushed to go, and the second senior sister knew that Wang Xian had just built the foundation, so she let Wang Xian go. Shuoyang Town is one of the two peripheral towns of Heishuimen, and it is generally garrisoned by monks during the foundation building period. Wang Xian has just laid the foundation, and he wants to bring out a monk in the foundation building period, and it is better to cultivate a little lower.
The second senior sister gave two mid-level and middle-grade talismans to Wang Xian for backup, one to attack and one to defend. In this way, everyone does not have to worry about him falling into the hands of the enemy in a short time. Wang first confronted the other monks in the foundation building period, and no matter how bad it was, he could escape while blocking it, and released a transmission note to the phoenix boat to ask for help. Within a few miles, the other three were within easy reach.
Wang first collected the two talismans of his senior sister, and then went to Shuoyang Town alone. Senior sister thought that he had not become a talisman master, and it was likely that he did not have a mid-level talisman in his hand. Wang Xian didn't plan to use the second senior sister's talisman, and after completing the task, he would return the original thing.
