Chapter 10: Danger in the Valley
Heguanling Mountains. In the past two days, Liu Junhuai has crossed several mountains, and he has only picked a few medicinal herbs that have been around for decades along the way. It's hard to cultivate, this is what he muttered all day complaining.
This valley shrouded in white mist is called Qingyun Jiao, and it is the closest place recorded in the "Chronicle of Strange Things in Vientiane", and the Seven Star Grass for refining Pei Yuan Dan grows at the bottom of the deepest valley. Pei Yuan Dan is the most practical yellow-grade auxiliary pill for cultivators, it is mild in nature and easy to absorb, and the aura content of one first-grade Pei Yuan Dan exceeds that of several lower-grade spirit stones.
At the bottom of the valley, a silver waterfall poured down from the cliff, rushing like thunder, carrying a thousand momentum, smashing into the deep pool, splashing countless crystal water droplets. This seven-star grass is in the low-lying part of this deep pool, and the seven-star grass has a third-order demon beast drilling gopher.
Carefully burrowed into the low-lying water-filled air, with a faint smell of mud in the humid air.
Finally, I faintly saw a faint white bright spot shining on a seven-star grass more than a dozen feet away, and a black aura also greeted me. This is a four-foot-long adult drill gopher with black pointed gills, pea-sized round eyes revealing a fierce light, and its body is like lightning.
The shadow blade waved, and Liu Junhuai's body did not retreat, but advanced, and he slashed towards the rat's head.
The gopher arched its body, the thin tail flicked into the air and turned around and flashed the blade, the sharp claws grabbed the back of the head, Liu Junhuai quickly squatted and walked sideways, and the knife in his hand slashed towards the claws.
With a "squeak" scream, the gopher opened the knife with both paws, jumped to the side with his body, and stretched out his head to bite Liu Junhuai's shoulder.
Liu Junhuai turned his wrist, and the shadow blade slapped at the waist of the gopher, "poof", the body of the rat was swept aside by the knife, and he stepped forward to step on the tail of the rat, and the cold light flashed, and the rat's head flew up.
The seven-star grass was put away, Liu Junhuai just turned around and the "squeak" behind the bushes, the "squeak" sound was already one, the rat aid arrived, rushed to the deep pool, "poof" jumped into the pool, and dived into the water.
Swimming dozens of zhang away in the direction that had been observed, Liu Junhuai drilled out of the water under the waterfall.
Sitting down on the moss-covered bluestone, he turned his head to the opposite side of a dozen gophers "squeak", "squeak" and danced at him with their teeth open.
After resting for a while, he saw a man-wide stone crack behind the waterfall, Liu Junhuai stood up and went over to check.
A large space can be seen behind the stone cracks, the ground is dry, and it is getting dark, so I can rest here for the night.
As the morning sun rises, a small halo peeks out from the eastern sky, and the morning mist will not dissipate, and the air feels a little moist. Liu Junhuai drilled out of the crack in the stone, tilted his head, expanded his chest, and breathed deeply.
After practicing all night, Liu Junhuai didn't feel a little sleepy, wondering whether to catch a fish to satisfy his stomach. Suddenly, he heard a faint voice in the distance, and he frowned, but decided to take refuge in the crack of the stone.
The voices of people approached, and through the gap in the waterfall, they saw three young men in navy blue shirts walking in the direction of the waterfall.
"The third senior brother is in the limelight this time, not everyone can have such good luck. Senior brother, do you really have a Xuantian Dragon Fish? That's the ancient pure dragon bloodline. A shorter young man said.
"The news should be true, twelve transmission jade talismans! one jade talisman is worth a hundred high-grade spirit stones, if the news is not true, he will not be so extravagant, what if the master is his own father?" said the slightly older man.
"Master said, all the disciples outside need to rush to the Dragon Altar within three days, this is the third day, they shouldn't have arrived yet, but the three of us rushed over overnight. "The third said.
"It's still early, so the three of us will go and inquire around first, and when Master comes, he will inform us. The three of them washed up briefly and then left together.
After a while, another person actually stepped on a flying sword, stopped in front of the deep pool, picked up a jade gourd next to him, raised his head and drank something: "Interesting, the Chu family in Northern Xinjiang is also here." ”
Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly raised, and looked behind him: "Is it Keiri?"
A long, gray-robed monk appeared in the void, followed by four people.
"Third Elder, please forgive your subordinates for being late, we suspect that Haitian Pavilion ······"
The thin gray-robed monk laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Not only Haitian Pavilion, but also Tianji Gate, Hades Palace, Long Whale Island, and Tianlian Mountain are here, and all the families of Fengling Country are also coming, and the Chu family in the Northern Regions is in front." ”
The Xingtian Continent is divided into five domains and one frontier: one in the east, south, west, north, and central, and there is the Han Frontier. Each of the six lands is under the care of a domain lord. Each region has more than 100 subject countries, and Liu Junhuai's Fengling country is under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions, which is recorded in the "Chronicle of Strange Things in Vientiane".
Liu Qili was suddenly surprised, and his serious face showed a solemn look.
"It's all small minions, and the big guys probably haven't shown up yet. The thin gray-robed monk smiled dumbly, "You don't have to worry, if the news about the dragon fish is reliable, the appearance of these sects will be normal." You're not at fault. ”
"The subordinates will go and inspect it again, the other halls of the Sea God Temple have already set off, and they will arrive today and tomorrow. ”
The three elders waved their hands to let a few people leave on their own, but their eyes glanced intentionally and unintentionally in the direction of the waterfall.
Liu Junhuai instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Because of the roar of the waterfall, the voices of several people were a little blurred, and they couldn't help but poke out their senses. Seeing the third elder looking at him, he knew that he had noticed it. The divine consciousness had already been withdrawn, and he opened the Heavenly Eye to continue to observe, and his heart was already looking for a way out.
The three elders didn't look here again, but Liu Junhuai didn't dare to slack off. At this time, Liu Junhuai was in the open space between the stone crevices, and the deep stone crevices were still 100 zhang deep, but the gaps became narrower and narrower, and they were no longer enough to fit in the gaps.
For the sake of safety, Liu Junhuai no longer hesitated, and walked carefully along the deep stone cracks, trying his best to control the sound under his feet. The eye of the sky covers 360 degrees, and he is not afraid of the other party's divine sense, and his own breath is also covered by the eye of the sky, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
Moving forward cautiously in this way, the gap gradually narrowed, and he could only move sideways, and the eye of heaven also observed that the three elders flew over.
When the three elders wanted to cross the waterfall, Liu Junhuai had already tried to drill through a stone crack and protrusion, and his figure was covered by the protrusion.
The crevices are narrow, not enough for adults to enter. The three elders stood still in the open space for a long time, and then turned around again. After passing through the waterfall, Liu Junhuai continued to move forward.
After this danger, Liu Junhuai felt the wonder of Tianyantong. Divine consciousness only perceives a certain range, but it is easy to be discovered by people whose realm is higher than themselves, but the Heavenly Eye ignores the perception of the other party's divine consciousness, and what happens within the range is as if it is seen with one's own eyes, and the heart is very happy.
Continuing to move forward, Liu Junhuai no longer has a greedy heart for the treasures that want to appear. The lowest realm of everyone I saw just now is above the foundation building period, the treasures are precious, and life is more important. Moreover, he seemed to have a premonition that the things that so many people had come to ask for were a little strange, and that the final outcome of the development of things should not be as they thought.
Continue through the crevices in the rocks. The stone cracks are no longer in a straight line, there are many twists and turns, and the spacing is even narrower, and Liu Junhuai can clearly feel that his chest is squeezed and his breathing is not smooth.
When he walked forward for nearly a hundred feet, he "suddenly" fell to the ground, and Liu Junhuai's feet were empty, and his body fell straight down.
