Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 110: Gains and Losses
Lin Yi saw the situation of Mu Qing'er sisters and couldn't help but frowned.
Mu Qing'er and the two killed more than a dozen snakes in a blink of an eye. Their sword moves were messy, and the dagger in their hands gradually lost its light. Even if a magic weapon used by cultivators can use internal energy to activate one-tenth of its power, it can only last for a few breathers, which shows how much internal energy is consumed.
These snakes are golden in color, especially their bellies. They are highly venomous golden-horned snakes. A bite from one of these snakes will kill you instantly. In addition, in the darkness, the eyes cannot see clearly, and the two sisters are in danger.
Mu Qing'er saw sweat on her forehead and said anxiously: "Senior sister, why is no one here?"
Senior Sister Xu said: "You and I are upwind, so our shouts can't reach far. We don't have anything with us to send messages. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it—! Junior sister, you leave first!"
"No! I won't leave senior sister behind. If you and I hold on for a while longer, maybe someone will come!" Mu Qing'er gasped repeatedly.
Senior Sister Xu was helpless and could only grit her teeth and endure.
Just when the two sisters were in despair, their panic suddenly escalated——
Several balls of fire the size of fists fell from the sky and landed next to the two of them.
The fire ball fell to the ground and exploded, turning into thin fire snakes, scurrying around.
In the firelight, golden venomous snakes were everywhere on the ground. If a spark was caught by the fire snakes, they would twist and struggle, emitting an unpleasant burnt smell.
The poisonous snakes did not bother to attack Mu Qing'er and the two of them, and ran around to avoid them.
The fire snake seemed to have spirituality, swimming around Mu Qing'er and the two of them, driving out a clear path for them.
Mu Qing'er opened her mouth in surprise, and Senior Sister Xu was also dumbfounded. The two of them were stunned for a moment. The fire snakes chasing the poisonous snakes gradually become smaller and smaller. If this inexplicable sky fire goes out, the poisonous snakes will still surround them. How long will it take if they don't leave now?
The two finally came to their senses, and Mu Qing'er shouted softly: "Senior sister, let's go—!"
Mu Qing'er and Senior Sister Xu jumped up without losing the opportunity, flew past the airway where the fire snakes were expelled, and escaped the siege of the poisonous snakes in the blink of an eye. The two of them didn't dare to pause, but they didn't forget to look back. It was pitch black behind him, and there were no fire snakes anywhere. The thrill and despair just now seemed real and illusory, like a dream.
The two daughters had all kinds of questions in their minds, but they didn't dare to hesitate and rushed to the camp quickly.
A bonfire has been lit in the campground.
Mu Qing'er and the others rushed over in a panic, asking Elder Meng and others to rush forward to greet them.
"Qing'er, why are you two panicking?" Elder Meng asked with concern.
When Mu Qing'er and Senior Sister Xu saw everyone, they took a breath and were pushed to sit down by the campfire. The two sisters looked at each other and then looked slightly embarrassed. They told everyone about the encounter with the poisonous snake, but they did not mention the fire. The shocking adventure of a snake getting out of trouble.
Perhaps it was the daughter's family's petty thoughts that caused trouble, but the two sisters also had a good understanding and kept silent about the matter. No one would believe that unbelievable fire snake. Instead, people would think that they were scared of the poisonous snake.
"This is a golden-horned snake. It is unique to the Gobi. It is extremely venomous. If it is bitten, it is difficult to treat. Ordinary snake medicine is useless. Fortunately, the two girls were lucky enough to escape from the snake nest safely. Fortunately!" Zhen Yuanzi nodded and smiled at Mu Qing'er.
Elder Meng was also frightened for a while, and hurriedly asked his disciples to gather together to avoid any unexpected events. But no one noticed that there was a coachman in the camp who had not returned yet.
At this time, Lin Yi saw Mu Qing'er and the two walking away, and he slowly leaned against a rock wall in exhaustion.
Just now, he used magic to draw fireballs to disperse the snakes, but it was already at the end of his efforts, draining all the spiritual power in Lin Yi's body.
The current Lin Yi was as weak as a real coachman.
The loss of mental power made Lin Yi feel unspeakable panic. Unprecedented fatigue surged into my limbs, and unspeakable fear struck my heart. Over the past few years, he has become accustomed to controlling everything around him.
At this moment, giving himself over to the dark and unknown night around him again, Lin Yi became more alert to the impulse of talent.
You have to do things according to your ability. It was obvious that I didn't think carefully enough just now, which led to the current predicament.
But seeing Mu Qing'er and Senior Sister Xu in danger, he turned around and left without saving her? Just because Mu Qing'er makes things difficult for him? Lin Yi believed that he was not a narrow-minded person, but when faced with the critical moment of the two of them, he still decided to rescue them.
If you save, you will save. Don't be reckless in the future. It's better to stay calm when encountering trouble. I won't go to this camp for the time being. It's like this right now. Don't get into trouble.
Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked into the darkness.
After walking not far, Lin Yi took out a spiritual stone and held it in his hand. He threw out the four elephant flags, used the concealment formation to hide his figure, and sat cross-legged in silence.
The majestic spiritual energy in the spirit stone poured into his body like water, making Lin Yi feel refreshed.
Xuantian's mind is moving, and the dry sea of qi is absorbed and nourished by spiritual energy...
…
The campfire burned all night, and the long night slowly passed. Scenery was visible everywhere, and the earth-yellow rocks revealed their original appearance. But the sound of the wind still sounded like a ghost weeping, the sky was filled with wind and sand, and the sky turned gray.
Everyone was busy making preparations for departure. In front of Lin Yi's carriage, Zhen Yuanzi was complaining. Where did this brat go to sleep? He wouldn't let the experienced master and apprentice come to harness the horse and drive the car!
"Eh! Brat, where did you go? What happened to you?" Zhen Yuanzi finally saw the person he was looking for, but he was surprised again.
Lin Yi walked slowly from a distance, looking a little pale and looking bad.
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi asked sincerely, Lin Yi said with a grimace: "You got lost last night, couldn't you?" After saying that, he ignored Zhen Yuanzi and hurriedly went to hitch the car.
Zhen Yuanzi followed Lin Yi and asked: "You can get lost even if you find firewood. Why do you think you missed something last night? Could it be that you walked among the rocks all night?"
Lin Yi was secretly glad that no one paid attention to him on weekdays, but now that he had not returned home all night, no one noticed. But if I come a little later, I'm afraid the secret will be exposed. Among so many people, only this old Taoist is thinking about him! Thinking of this, he grinned at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Aren't you just coming back now? I'm sorry for you, Taoist Priest!"
Zhen Yuanzi waved his long beard and said in a loud voice: "What do you care about, old Taoist? You're not afraid of driverless people!" After saying that, he snorted again and jumped onto the carriage proudly, not forgetting to urge: "Boy Be quick with your hands and feet, don’t waste time!”
Lin Yi shook his head and curled his lips secretly.
After sitting alone for a night, most of the spiritual energy in his body was restored. When the sky was getting brighter, Lin Yi could only stop practicing.
After a night of crazy absorption, the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone in his hand was reduced by 50 to 60%, which shows that the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual stone is amazing. The spiritual energy flowing in the muscles and veins made the body full of vitality. The exhaustion of last night was gone, and the lost strength returned to the body. Although he is not as energetic as before, he is no longer in danger of protecting himself. In addition, his consciousness is gradually recovering, which gives Lin Yi some peace of mind!
It just overdraws the power of the mind, just like a serious illness. If he wants to recover, with Lin Yi's current cultivation level, even if he has the spirit stone, it will not be the result of a night of meditation.
After tying up the carriage, Lin Yi looked at the bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, curious in his heart. I don't know where these disciples found tree roots and used them as firewood all night. Among the busy crowd, two graceful figures loomed, and everyone in the Tianlong Sect was there. It seems that the golden horned snake last night did not bring any trouble to everyone.
This place is not a place to stay for a long time, so Tianlong sent everyone to continue eastward.
Lin Yi's carriage was still at the end of the team, following the crowd through the desolate rocks.
"The Valley of Chaotic Souls is truly worthy of its name. The sound of the wind is as shrill as a ghost's howl. It seems that thousands of souls are trapped here. They cannot escape for centuries and thousands of years, but can only wail in agony!" Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but show off his knowledge.
"Taoist Priest, what else is weird in this valley? Can you give me some advice?" Lin Yi had a profound experience with the poisonous snake last night.
"The Valley of Chaotic Souls is two to three hundred miles long. Including the distance traveled yesterday, we should be able to get out of this valley before dark today. There is nothing strange in the valley. It's just that because of the wind outlet of the desert, the sky is filled with wind and sand all year round!" Really! Yuanzi replied casually. He suddenly turned his head and sighed with surprise on his face: "How come you have changed your temper and come here to ask for advice with nice words——!"
After learning the experienced "Fengyun Acupuncture Technique", the other party was still kept in the dark, which made Lin Yi always feel guilty. He hummed noncommittally: "Just asking casually, why should the Taoist Master be so surprised!"
Zhen Yuanzi glanced sideways at Lin Yi and said to himself: "You haven't returned home all night, but you are a little different from the past, which makes the old Taoist feel a little uncomfortable."
Seeing that he was silent again, Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said: "Haha, if the boy makes progress, the old man is still happy to see it!"
"There is no grass growing in this valley because of the strong wind. However, there are golden-horned snakes in the valley which are quite poisonous and make people afraid. There are also monitor lizards, poisonous scorpions and other things. Be careful and it should be fine!" said Zhen Yuanzi, twisting his head. Wearing a long beard shows the demeanor of an elder. Just looking back at Lin Yi, I saw that his eyes were half-open and half-closed again, and his expression was a little sluggish. He didn't know whether he was driving or sitting in a car.
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and thought, this kid has been in a lot of trouble all night, and he hasn't come back to his senses yet!
Lin Yi took the opportunity to adjust his breath, and his thoughts were immersed in last night's adventure...
From another jade slip, Lin Yi learned that Fang Qiaoer in this tomb was also a senior monk.
Fang Qiaoer belongs to a family of cultivators, and she and this man named Ye Yu are a couple who love each other deeply. Both of them are from Daxia, and for unknown reasons, they ended up in Shang Kingdom. In the end, Fang Qiaoer died here and was buried in the inaccessible Valley of Souls.
The Qiankun Bag belonged to Fang Qiaoer, and the Biyun Sha and Wolf Fang Sword inside also fell into Lin Yi's hands.
From some words recorded in the jade slip, it can be seen that Ye Yu is an expert in the foundation building stage, and Fang Qiaoer has also reached the later level of Qi training. Why would these two people with such high cultivation leave Daxia, a place suitable for cultivating immortals? It is even more puzzling that such a master of cultivating immortals would die in the Shang Kingdom.
Is there anyone in the Shang Kingdom who can hurt them?
Considering the thick dust accumulated in the cave, the tomb must have been there for a long time. If Ye Yu is still alive, where has he gone? If he found out in the future that he had taken the relics in the cave, would he be furious and cause trouble for himself? But if he wants to put Biyun Sha and Wolf Fang Sword back, Lin Yi can't let go of these treasures.
If Ye Yu really found him, the worst he could do would be to return his things. Decades have passed. Perhaps times have changed and things have changed. In short, who makes himself too poor?
However, this unknown world of cultivating immortals may not be so peaceful!
