Chapter 56: Entering the Mountain
The Qinling Mountains are east-west mountain ranges that run across central China. They start from Baishi Mountain in the north of Lintan County, Gansu Province in the west and enter Shaanxi through Maiji Mountain in the south of Tianshui. At the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, they are divided into three branches. The northern branch is Wushan, and the residual veins extend eastward along the southern bank of the Yellow River, commonly known as Mangshan; the central branch is Xionger Mountain; and the southern branch is Funiu Mountain. It is about 1,600 kilometers long and is the watershed between the Wei River, the tributary of the Yellow River, the Jialing River, the tributary of the Yangtze River, and the Han River.
Luo Zhuo left the capital and did not go south all the way, but went southwest. Wang Xiaosong said that the place where he was discovered was in Shaanxi. Luo Zhuo intuitively felt that the key in Wang Xiaosong's body had some connection with Kui Niu, so he planned to find it from the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi.
When he saw the video from the superpower group, he already knew that Kui Niu only appeared that time, and no people reported that he had found strange animals, so Luo Zhuo had reason to believe that the place where Kui Niu was located was a place with few people in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. If you want to find it, you must search the Qinling Mountains before you can find it. So it doesn't matter where you start. Kui Niu will not stay where you were photographed.
It was more than a thousand kilometers from the capital to their destination, Taibai Mountain. Luo Zhuo drove slowly and didn't even have a rest in the middle. He drove for almost twenty hours before he got to the position.
Wang Xiaosong was picked up by someone at the foot of Taibai Mountain. At that time, it was a wasteland. If some people who like to hike had happened to pass by here, he would have died long ago. Now this place has been developed into a tourist attraction. Luo Zhuo was not here to travel, so of course he would not have entered the mountain along the developed road.
He has been here several times before, but he used to fly by swords. The last time he hiked into the mountain was when he first went out to practice more than 600 years ago, so this time he entered the mountain, it can be said that it was his second time to enter the mountain.
The car had no way to go deep into the mountains. When it was so hard that it was impossible to drive in, Luo Zhuo parked the car there, hid it a little with some branches, and then walked towards the depths of Taibai Mountain with a one-person-high backpack. Next to it was a ghost Wang Xiaosong floating in the air.
According to legend, Taibai Mountain is the place where Taiyi Zhenren practiced. "Records of the Records" record: "The essence of Venus fell to the west of Gui Peak in Zhongnan. The essence turned into white stones like beautiful jade, and purple qi was restored from time to time, so it was named." Luo Zhuo did not know whether these are true or false. Anyway, there were no such things in the records of the Kunlun School. There was no sect in Taibai Mountain back then. However, it was not uncommon to have some rare medicinal materials or other jades in Taibai Mountain. I remember that when I went down the mountain to practice for the first time, he killed a black bear that was about to become an essence in Taibai Mountain. There was a piece of lightning-striking wood hidden in the cave of the black bear. The lightning-striking wood was the best material for making magic seals. Luo Zhuo moved that lightning-striking wood and exchanged a lot of good things with the Taoist priests of Maoshan.
"Do you have a special feeling for this forest?" Luo Zhuo asked Wang Xiaosong as he walked. Now Wang Xiaosong and the key have become one. If he arrived at a familiar place like Luo Zhuo thought, the key made of finger bones should have a sense.
"No, sir, although I was picked up nearby, I grew up in an orphanage in Xi'an since I was a child and I am really not familiar with it." Wang Xiaosong said with a wry smile. He thought Luo Zhuo was asking if he had an impression of this place, but he was born not long ago when he was abandoned. How could he have an impression of this place?
"It doesn't matter if you don't feel it. Anyway, you just entered the mountain. Do you recognize herbs?" Luo Zhuo said. This time, the main purpose of entering the mountain was to find Kui Niu, but Luo Zhuo was not wasted, and along the way he planned to collect some medicinal materials he saw. Herbs that he used to look down on before were very useful to him now. Since he entered the mountain, of course, he had to collect everything he saw. Wang Xiaosong's body is more convenient than Luo Zhuo's movements, so Luo Zhuo wanted him to find herbs too.
"I know a few kinds." Wang Xiaosong said, and said a few names of medicines casually, all of which are common herbs in the folk.
"Grind the gun at the end of the battle. My brother, please tell me a few herbs. Pay attention to whether there are any on our way." Luo Zhuo said that herbs have their own rules, and there are only so many herbs suitable for growth in Taibai Mountain. Luo Zhuo now teaches him how to identify them.
"Foxglove, flowers look like bells, and from a distance they look like a string of bells." When he thought of it, Luo Zhuo immediately taught Wang Xiaosong the identification of the draft medicine.
Wang Xiaosong followed him and thought that he could help Luo Zhuo. Now he was naturally listening to Luo Zhuo's few words with all his heart, and he also knew that he had embarked on the path of cultivation. The knowledge that Luo Zhuo taught him was very precious and he could not miss it at all.
The two of them taught and searched all the way. When Luo Zhuo came, he prepared a backpack specifically for the collected medicinal materials. The bag was held in his hand. His strength was far greater than that of ordinary people. Even if he was carrying a big bag of food on his back and carrying another bag in his hand, it would not affect his actions at all. At the beginning, Wang Xiaosong did not know the herbs, and mainly relied on Luo Zhuo to collect it alone. Later, Wang Xiaosong knew more and more herbs. Although he could not get the drafting medicine, he could find the herbs to save Luo Zhuo time to search, so the two of them walked faster and faster.
A few days later, the two of them had already entered Taibai Mountain. No one had been here for many years. In the jungle, the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and many places were black mud formed by the fallen leaves. If ordinary people came here, they would be trapped in when walking. However, there was no problem for Luo Zhuo and Wang Xiaosong. Luo Zhuo was a ghost without weight.
After walking for seven days, there was no abnormal movement in the keys in Wang Xiaosong's body, and they did not find any traces of others. Kui Niu had no clues at all. The food behind Luo Zhuo had been consumed more than half of the food, but his bag of herbs was almost full, which was not worth the trip. Many of these medicinal materials were not bought outside. Refining them into pills can help Luo Zhuo recover some of his cultivation.
Luo Zhuo was not discouraged. Kui Niu is a magical object in the world. Whether he could find it depends entirely on opportunities. It is good to find it, but it is good to collect some herbs. Moreover, Luo Zhuo discovered that practicing Zixiao's shape refining in the deep mountains is more effective than in the city. Now his second form of Zixiao's shape refining is about to be practiced, and he is just a layer of membrane to break through. After practicing the second form, he can break through to the magic power, not far from practicing the spiritual consciousness to open the storage space. Once he can open the storage space, he can take out the pills inside and accelerate the process of restoring his cultivation.
"Sir, I found traces left by someone camping ahead!" Luo Zhuo was thinking, and Wang Xiaosong floated over from the front and said.
"Oh? There are still people here?" Luo Zhuo said. He didn't think that those who could go deeper here were tourists. Most of them were from the supernatural group. One of their teammates disappeared in the Qinling Mountains. Luo Zhuo knew that they would definitely come to the Qinling Mountains. If there was no need, Luo Zhuo didn't really want to meet them.
Wang Xiaosong led the way, and Luo Zhuo followed him to the place where he discovered it. The remaining ashes on the ground could indeed be seen that someone had camped here. And after a few days of sight, Luo Zhuo looked around and found that there were still many people camping here, and the ground within a radius of more than ten meters was cleaned up to camp.
"It seems that this group of people should be heading northeast." Wang Xiaosong said. The group did not hide their traces, and there were still remaining footprints on the ground, so it was easy to see where they were heading.
"We won't join in the fun, we will go southeast." Luo Zhuo said without hesitation. He was not afraid of meeting people. Although he was only the peak cultivation of the Dark Spirit, in this Dharma-Ending Age, Luo Zhuo could also be invincible. He was fearless and simply did not want to deal with people from the superpower group, so he chose another way to avoid them. Those broom stars are generally not good for meeting them. He came to Kui Niu for chance. If he met a group of broom stars, what opportunities would he have to say! Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
