Chapter 155 Gone with the Wind·Chapter 8 Beiling Mountain

Li Qiang asked: "How long does it take to walk from Qilong City to Xuelong City?" He didn't want to delay too long on the road. Tan Boyu's dark and thin face glowed red, and he said excitedly: "Not long, not long, only half a year of Jialong will be here, there are two roads to go, one is a normal road, there are roads along the way. Towns and villages are safer. The other road, we call it painstaking road repairing, is the road of experience that cultivators who have not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage must take. It is difficult to walk, and there are many unpredictable dangers. I don’t know which road the senior wants to take. ?”

Li Qiang said without hesitation: "Of course I'm taking the road of painstaking practice. Hehe, if it's not fun, fly over there, and if it's fun, play more, haha." Just playing, what kind of cultivation method is this? While talking, Bai Cang and his son Bai Shengzhen came in from the door, Li Qiang greeted with a smile: "Chang Lao, come in! Come in!" He saluted respectfully and said: "I have seen the senior." Bai Cang said: "Senior, Sheng Zhen is going to Xuelong City, hehe, this is his first time on the road of penance, I specially brought him here to bid farewell to senior, thank you for your love for my son." Li Qiang said with a smile: " Hey, what a coincidence, I am also planning to go to Xuelong City, hehe, I have to take the road of penance."

Baisheng was really pleasantly surprised: "Senior also wants to be a long-distance ascetic? Great! Can I go with senior?" Tan Boyu said: "Okay, if there are more people, let's go together." Bai Cang was very happy, walking with a master like Li Qiang, his son would not be in any danger, he was grateful and thanked repeatedly.Xuanyuan Yiqing said at the side: "Can I go with senior? I also want to go to Xuelong City. It's almost time for the Artifact Making Ceremony. I want to see it." He no longer dared to lie to Li Qiang , but he saw that Li Qiang was an enthusiastic person and always wanted to gain some benefits from him. He knew that he had to go with him to have a chance.

Li Qiang scratched his head and said, "Brother Xuanyuan, can you leave Kuanshuyuan at will?" Xuanyuan Yiqing nodded and said: "Okay, I'll explain it and I'll be right back." He turned and walked out the door.The cultivators in the room chatted with Li Qiang in a hurry. Li Qiang always likes to associate with people, and he soon became brothers with these people. Xuanyuan Yiqing met Feng Qianbao not long after going out, Feng Qianbao grabbed him and asked, "Has Senior Muzi been here?" Xuanyuan Yiqing was startled, it was the first time he saw Qianbao The big suzerain of the pavilion was so anxious to get angry, he hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! Senior Muzi is in the room, and he is going to take the road of penance to Snow Dragon City."

Feng Qianbao lowered his head and thought for a moment, Xuanyuan Yiqing didn't even dare to show his breath, and waited with his hands down.Feng Qianbao raised his head and stared at Xuanyuan Yiqing, he didn't speak for a while, Xuanyuan Yiqing was frightened, he didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't dare to ask.Feng Qianbao is one of the suzerains in Qilong City, and he has absolute authority here. The cultivators of Qilong City dare not presumptuously see him. Feng Qianbao pondered for a while, and then said: "Yi Qing, can you find a way to go with Senior Muzi?"

Xuanyuan Yiqing couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, but he put on a embarrassed look and said, "I'll try it, maybe it will work, what Master Feng wants..." He knew that Feng Qianbao wanted something from him, so he deliberately pretended to be It looked very difficult, and wanted to test it out, waiting for him to tell the reason. Feng Qianbao said: "Hehe, I want to know the whereabouts of Senior Muzi so that I can find him at any time. If you can do it, I will let you come to Qianbao Pavilion to be the chief deacon in the future. How about it?" Xuanyuan Yiqing's heart was beating wildly, the head deacon of Qianbao Pavilion was a fat job, and he could learn Qianbao Pavilion's unique cultivation method.He quickly said: "Okay! Yi Qing will try his best to complete the tasks assigned by the pavilion master, but Yi Qing's duties in the Kuanshu Yuan..."

Feng Qianbao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll find someone to replace you. You keep this magic weapon away, don't put it in a storage bag, just hang it around your neck." He handed Xuanyuan Yiqing a bunch of blue ones Hanging beads, this is a magic weapon for tracking.Xuanyuan Yiqing immediately understood his mission, he hesitated a bit: "Isn't that bad?" Feng Qianbao smiled and said: "It's not that you are against Senior Muzi, just want to know his whereabouts, but don't let Senior Muzi know, it will be bad if he misunderstands us. Oh, you take the initiative to pay for the expenses along the way." Point, I will compensate you when you come back, and when you arrive in Xuelong City, you should inform the masters of Jichaya, this is the token of Qianbao Pavilion, tell them who Senior Muzi is, and they will entertain you." He patted Xuanyuan Yiqing's shoulder, and said in a flat tone: "You can do it yourself, don't let me down." He nodded slightly, and there was no one in the white light flashing.

Xuanyuan Yiqing stood dumbfounded, and after a long while, he muttered to himself: "I really didn't think of it... Sigh, never mind..." He turned and went back to the room. Qilong City is located on the edge of endless rocky and barren mountains. After coming out of Qilong City, you have to climb several mountains, walk north along the edge of the virgin forest, and pass through some strange places before you can set foot on the road of Xuelong City. area. Li Qiang and the others had already walked for a long time from the main road to the road of penance. Along the way, Li Qiang taught the three of them some tricks of cultivation. Each of them has different cultivation bases and benefits are also different.Tan Boyu was most inexplicably excited, he felt that he was lucky to be able to walk with such a master.

One day they walked to a mountain depression, Tan Boyu introduced: "In front is Beiling Mountain, which is famous for Lin Xingxing." Xuanyuan Yiqing smiled and said: "Yes, there is a spiritual vein in Beiling Mountain, which is rich in all kinds of precious spiritual objects. The rock defect that Senior Muzi saw last time was produced here, but it is also very rare. It is said that the rocks here are covered by the spiritual vein. Moisturizing, it is born with spiritual essence, so there are these natural and earthly treasures." Baisheng doesn't tell much truth, he is a very down-to-earth young man, he just smiles honestly on the side.His level of comprehension is the lowest, and it's the first time he came out. He doesn't understand anything. Usually, he can only listen to a few people talking, and he can't get in the way at all. However, the young man will look for something to eat, and he knows many unknown spirits. Guo Lingye, as soon as he arrived at the resting place, he would find it for everyone to eat. After a long time, even Xuanyuan Yiqing began to like him.

The four talked while walking, and soon they walked out of the valley and came to Beiling Mountain. Beiling Mountain is an endless rocky mountain. The towering cliffs are steep and majestic. The stone color of the rock wall is light blue and white, mixed with shiny crystal grains. Some strange plants grow in the cracks of the rock wall. , Clouds and mist linger around the rock wall.Li Qiang cheered loudly: "It's really great, okay!" The voice echoed in the mountains, and a group of unknown birds flew into the sky. Tan Boyu introduced: "Beiling Mountain is very large, divided into the main line Lingshan and the auxiliary line Lingshan, the general ascetics go from the auxiliary line Lingshan, the main line is in the center of the mountains, the mountains here naturally form a It is a strange formation, it is said that some masters have gone in to explore it, it is difficult to find out the direction inside, the central area is shrouded in clouds and mists all the year round, it is impossible to see what is inside, one can only leave from the air, otherwise you will be trapped inside. "

Xuanyuan Yiqing also went through long-distance hard work in his early years, and he also walked this road. He sighed: "Bei Lingshan is a treasure land, and only a few cultivators have explored the main Lingshan. If you walk past the edge of Lingshan, you don't dare to go in at all." Li Qiang was very interested: "Maybe there are some masters who are secretly cultivating, maybe it's a formation that was set up on purpose." Tan Boyu shook his head and said: "Impossible, the formation inside is naturally formed, if it is set up by a master, the person who enters will not be able to leave from the air, and will definitely be trapped to death." Li Qiang said with a smile: "I want to go in and have a look, who is willing to accompany me?" Xuanyuan Yiqing was the first to shout: "I'll go! I'll go!" Of course Tan Boyu also wanted to go, only Baisheng smiled awkwardly, he wanted to go too, but he didn't dare to say it.Li Qiang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Well, anyway, both of you can fly, only brother Bai can't, I should be able to protect him, let's go in together." Tan Boyu looked up at the towering peaks, and said, "There is no way to get in, you can only fly over the outer peaks." Li Qiang grabbed Baishengzhen's arm and said with a smile, "Then we'll fly in." He took the lead in flying upwards.Xuanyuan Yiqing sprayed out the flying sword and followed closely behind, Tan Boyu hurriedly followed, neither of them had reached the Nascent Soul stage, so they had to rely on the power of the flying sword to fly. Gradually, both Xuanyuan Yiqing and Tan Boyu felt that they were struggling. The mountain was too high and their skills were not enough.Li Qiang found that the two of them were far behind, raised his hand and covered them with a golden light, and shouted softly: "Quick!" This was the first time he led someone to teleport, and it succeeded. Tan Boyu was surprised: "Senior, is this teleportation? It's amazing." There is a faint mist floating around, all the scenery is indistinct, the ground is covered with thick moss, and some strange-shaped vines are covered on the stone wall, Li Qiang feels that the surrounding is very humid, and the sound of dripping water is clear and recognizable It seemed that the surroundings were unusually quiet.Bai Shengzhen pointed to a plant and said, "Nanwu grass...this is Nanwu grass!" Xuanyuan Yiqing turned her head to look, and couldn't help but praise: "Oh, you have a good eye, go pick it." A small black grass with thick fingers and palms grew out of the cracks in the stone, with only one stem and one leaf.Li Qiang knew that Nanwu Grass was a kind of spiritual herb that could be used to make alchemy, which was a rare thing.He took out a black jade box and handed it to Baisheng Zhendao: "Brother Bai, this Nanwu grass should have spiritual roots, be careful when digging." Baisheng was so excited that his face was flushed. He took the Xuanyu box, carefully picked out the Nanwu grass from the cracks in the stone, put it in the Xuanyu box, turned around and handed it to Li Qiang happily: "Senior, please put it away." This kind of spiritual grass is hard to find." Li Qiang was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Baisheng would really give him the spiritual grass without hesitation, and he couldn't help secretly approving in his heart.He smiled and said, "I don't need this spiritual herb. Keep it well, brother. You can take it yourself when you have time. If you can refine it, the effect will be even better." Xuanyuan Yiqing also said: "Put it away, you are very lucky." Tan Boyu looked around for a while, and said: "It seems that you can go to the left, let's try to walk around." He walked first.Li Qiang reminded: "Be careful, use the flying sword to protect yourself." The moss on the ground was seven or eight centimeters thick, as soft as a woven carpet, and the four of them groped forward.Passing through the messy stone forest, a large area of ​​plants is revealed in the white mist. Tan Boyu heaved a sigh of relief, put away his flying sword, and said as he walked, "It seems that here are all small trees, wow...how is it empty below..." He suddenly sank one foot deep into the ground, which shocked him shouted. Xuanyuan Yiqing smiled and said: "Why are you so clumsy like a mortal, this small hole traps you? You are too bad." Tan Boyu flipped back in the air, escaped from the trap, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, mistake! Mistake!" Li Qiang approached curiously to observe, and saw a big hole in the moss on the ground, revealing intertwined roots. He suddenly realized : "The bottom is empty!" Xuanyuan Yiqing exclaimed, "This is the Misty Tea Tree. It turns out that the famous Misty Tea is also found in Beiling Mountain." All four of them stepped on the edge of the mist tea tree.The terrain here is very strange, there are many cracks under the rocks, covered by many vines, and the fallen leaves and dust accumulate all the year round, forming a layer of false land. There are many small trees and plants growing on the surface, as if it is a natural trap. It will fall if you are not careful. Bai Shengzhen said: "It's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise I would like to pick some more. This is Lin Mingxing's most famous fairy tea." Pick it back, hehe, if there is a suitable place in the future, you can plant it yourself." Tan Boyu praised: "This is a good idea, let me try it." He pinched the magic formula with his hand, and a few faint white lights swept across the tea tree, and tea seeds the size of peanuts fell one after another. He softly shouted: "Take it!" The stick flew into his hand suddenly, and he just took a handful.He asked: "Senior Muzi, should we share some?" Li Qiang smiled and took more than a dozen Misty Mist tea seeds. This kind of genius and treasure is something that can't be found. The four continued to walk inside, Li Qiang asked: "Is there anything powerful here?" Xuanyuan Yiqing smiled and said: "I haven't heard of it, but it's very strange here, few practitioners dare to come in, hehe , We wouldn't have dared to come in if it wasn't for the presence of seniors." Why was it so strange that he didn't explain it, maybe he didn't know it himself. After walking around for several days, Li Qiang and the others realized that they couldn't find the center of Biling Mountain, which is the main line of Lingshan.They were walking at the bottom of a canyon now, Baisheng was so tired that his face was pale, and Xuanyuan Yiqing couldn't take it anymore, keeping mental alert for a long time consumed a lot of their skills.Only Li Qiang remained calm, unhurriedly exploring the way ahead. Tan Boyu couldn't hold on any longer: "Senior, can you rest for a while?" Li Qiang noticed the fatigue of the few of them, and hurriedly said: "I was negligent, okay, take a rest before leaving." The bottom of the canyon is dark and humid, with almost no sunlight. From time to time, white mist floats by, gurgling water flows through the cracks in the rocks, moss and wild mushrooms grow everywhere, and the air is strangely fresh and clean.Li Qiang squatted next to a big rock, and there was a small puddle below. He used his hands to catch the clear spring flowing from the crevice of the rock. He could feel the water was full of spiritual energy.After drinking two sips of clear and sweet spring water, Li Qiang felt refreshed all over, and he couldn't help but praise: "The water here is so good, there is no pollution at all." Tan Boyu was very thin, short and small, and looked worse than Hou Pijing. He sat down beside Li Qiang, took off his soft leather boots, put his foot into the spring water, sighed comfortably, and said : "This water is so comfortable, hey, my feet..." Li Qiang slapped him on the head before he finished speaking.Li Qiang scolded with a smile: "If you wash your feet in such spiritual spring water, you can just take a bath... Go down." He lightly pushed his shoulder, and Tan Boyu fell into the puddle below with a "plop". Xuanyuan Yiqing laughed loudly: "Old Dan, taking a bath is more comfortable than washing your feet, haha." Tan Boyu chuckled, but he wasn't angry, picked up the water to wash his face, and said, "Take a bath with Lingquan water, you'll be completely reborn." Baisheng really seized the time to sit and practice. His skill here is the worst, and he has to eat dry food every day. He can't completely eat the grain, he has to eat something. Tan Boyu froze all of a sudden and remained motionless, as if he had been immobilized by someone.Xuanyuan Yiqing asked strangely: "Old Dan, what's the matter with you? Did some monster in the water bite you..." He was embarrassed to say any more. Li Qiang was also very curious.Hearing Tan Boyu suddenly let out a miserable howl, he jumped out of the water with a "crash" and jumped onto a rock.Everyone suddenly saw that a black creature several feet thick and long was tightly wrapped around his thigh, and the slender triangular head was biting the base of his thigh. Tan Boyu's face had turned blue and black, and he opened his mouth. , can't say a word. Xuanyuan Yiqing's face changed drastically, and he cried out: "Iron scale thread! It's over, it's iron scale thread." Li Qiang quickly grabbed the iron scale thread's body like lightning, and stretched out his hands with all his strength, and heard a crisp sound of "ba ba", and an extremely hard iron scale thread was crushed to pieces by him.Li Qiang didn't dare to delay at all, he quickly took out a cold marrow scale and fed it into Tan Boyu's mouth, saying: "Brother Xuanyuan, hurry up and help him sit up, let him perform his kung fu." The cold marrow scale is indeed the detoxification panacea of ​​Tian Lai City, the blackness on Tan Boyu's face quickly subsided, and he woke up after a while, and said repeatedly: "It's a fluke! It's a fluke! I didn't expect there to be iron scales in the spring water. It was almost over." Xuanyuan Yiqing fiddled with the remains of the Iron Scale Line with a branch, and said in surprise: "The skin and bones of the Iron Scale Line are the hardest, ordinary flying swords can't cut through it, and it's amazing that senior can crush it... oh, Where there are iron scale lines, there must be treasures, what attracts them to wait in the water?" Li Qiang said: "I didn't expect such a highly poisonous thing in the water, it's all my carelessness." Tan Boyu hurriedly said: "Oh, senior, don't say that, anything can happen on the road of penance, who knows that there is an iron scale thread hidden here." Baisheng was really startled by their voices, he stood up and came over to ask Said: "Senior, what happened?" Li Qiang briefly explained the situation, and Bai Shengzhen said, "Senior, can you drain the water from the puddle below?" Xuanyuan Yiqing smiled and said: "You don't need to do anything, senior, let me do it." He took out a jade talisman, put it in the palm of his hand, chanted a few incantations, and threw it into the water.A vortex appeared on the surface of the water, and the spring water in the puddle quickly spread to the surroundings, and soon the spring water was drained, revealing a big pit half a person deep, which was covered with white rhizomes in a criss-cross pattern.Tan Boyu said: "This is a sweet thorn stalk. It's strange. The sweet thorn stalk is not a precious thing. How can the iron scale line be guarded here?" It was the first time Li Qiang had heard of Ganji stalks. He asked, "What is Ganji stalks?" Senior, try it." Li Qiang thought it looked like a white radish, so he took a bite, it was crispy and sweet, and it was indeed very delicious.He repeatedly praised: "Well, it's really delicious, it tastes very good." Xuanyuan Yiqing was puzzled and said: "Strange, this is the first time I have seen such a thick sweet thorn stalk, it is too rare. This thing is better than dry food, and you can collect it." Li Qiang likes the taste of sweet thorns very much, he said: "Give me some, I like it." Baisheng really didn't need Li Qiang to tell, he had already collected them one by one, and soon the sweet thorns in the puddle were cleaned up , exposing the reddish rock underneath.Bai Shengzhen jumped up and said with a smile: "There are so many sweet thorns, my storage bag is almost full." Xuanyuan Yiqing stared at the bottom of the pit, Tan Boyu said with a smile: "I said brother, could the rocks below be eaten? Haha." Xuanyuan Yiqing didn't answer, he jumped into the bottom of the pit, squatted down, and He kept stroking it with his hand, and after a while, he said with joy on his face: "A uniform red stone! It should be a uniform red stone, but I didn't expect it to be so big. Senior, there are treasures in this stone!" Li Qiang was also very curious, he jumped down and asked, "What is a uniform red stone?" Xuanyuan Yiqing looked a little excited, and he said: "The uniform red stone is a kind of strange stone produced near the spiritual veins, and there are often some spirit insects living in this kind of strange stone, for example, the rock flaw essence I saw last time is from the uniform red stone. Of course, not every piece of red stone is found in it, and generally a uniform red stone is only the size of a human head, but this piece of red stone...hehe, I don’t know how big it is.” Li Qiang inspected it visually. The reddish red stone occupied the bottom of the pit. It was a huge stone with a radius of five meters. He smiled and said, "Let me try and see if I can get it out. You all stand back." He has always been full of curiosity, it doesn't matter what it is, the important thing is to increase his knowledge. Xuanyuan Yiqing greeted, and hurriedly retreated to the side. The three of them huddled behind a rock, watching quietly. Li Qiang carried out the star-absorbing sword and wrapped it in along the surface of Chishi. He slowly flew up and shouted softly: "Get up!" A dull shock echoed in the canyon, and the rocks that touched the sword qi shattered. It opened and splashed in all directions. The huge red stone was wrapped in a net of light and slowly rose from the ground.Baisheng was really stunned, and he murmured: "Amazing! Awesome! Really amazing." After a while, the uniform red stone was suspended in the air.Li Qiang asked: "What should I do with such a big stone?" Xuanyuan Yiqing hesitated and said: "This... Senior, I don't know what to do, I have never seen such a big red stone." Tan Boyu laughed and said: "Then you still ask senior to get out the stone?" Li Qiang leaned to the side, carefully placed the red stone on the two huge rocks, and then retracted the star-absorbing sword.He laughed and said, "Since it's out, we won't put it back. Let's study it later. Hehe, this thing is interesting." He has already noticed that there is a spiritual thing in the red stone, but he doesn't know what it is. Xuanyuan Yiqing sprayed out the flying sword and tried to cut the red stone, but sparks flew everywhere, and the red stone only dropped some stone powder.He sighed: "It's such a hard stone, my flying sword can't cut it." Tan Boyu also tried it with his own flying sword, and shook his head: "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! Mine can't do it either, see Come to ask the senior to make a move." Li Qiang tried to cut it with the Xingxing Sword. It felt like cutting tofu with a knife. He quickly cut off the uneven surface of the red stone. In less than a quarter of an hour, the uniform red stone was repaired into a ball with a diameter of about three meters.Li Qiang withdrew the star-absorbing sword, he was careful and didn't want to do it recklessly.I saw the red stone was warm and smooth, with faint red threads hidden in the stone, and the whole red stone was like jelly. Li Qiang probed into the red stone with his spiritual sense, and he found a living thing wriggling on the right side. Xuanyuan Yiqing asked with a smile: "Is there something inside?" Li Qiang nodded and said: "There is indeed something, but I don't know what it is, I'll cut it open and have a look, hey? It can't be something harmful, right?" " Xuanyuan Yiqing said: "That's impossible, the spirits in Chishi are treasures." Li Qiang didn't say any more, and carefully controlled the sword to cut. After a short time, the red stone was cut into a football-sized stone ball, which was translucent, and something could be vaguely seen moving inside.Everyone got excited, wondering what kind of treasure would be inside. Xuanyuan Yiqing's saliva was about to flow out, and he said with bright eyes: "Be careful, maybe it's a rock flaw essence, that's a priceless treasure." Li Qiang held the red stone in one hand, and shot out a slender sword light from the fingertips of the other hand, pondering carefully.As the stone became more and more transparent, and the things inside became clearer, Xuanyuan Yiqing exclaimed in surprise: "My God! What is this, it's so beautiful."
