Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 542 Searching for Dushuo Mountain

The two of Liu Liang followed the direction where the green energy disappeared and found a real island.Unfortunately, like the general islands in the sea, this small island is not much different except for the lush vegetation.

Under Liang Jing'an's teasing gaze, Liu Qinghuan could only helplessly admit that the five qi tracing technique was really impractical.

For the next few days, every time he used this technique, he found mostly islands, and he didn't even find a single shadow of Dushuo Mountain.

but……

He remembered that Ming Yangzi had told him before he set off that the best time to find the innate ghost peach tree was during the blood moon, when the ghost peach tree would leak a trace of innate wood energy when absorbing the moonlight .

But the next time the blood moon will appear is unknown, during this period of time the two of them can only hold the map of the Qingyan Family and follow the dotted lines to find them one by one.

Time flies, and it is several months in a flash. There is a vast mirage and endless waters. How difficult it is to find a floating mountain!
And the deeper the sea went, the mirages they encountered became more powerful, and the mirages became more powerful one by one, even with Liu Qinghuan's cultivation level, he didn't dare to ignore them.

The sound of silk and bamboo lingers in my ears, the body attached to it is soft and graceful, and the fragrance of orchids is refreshing.Liu Qinghuan's eyes were shining with a clear light, she pulled Liang Jing'an, who was gradually in a trance, and firmly held down his spirit sword that was rushing towards her, the mighty sword energy burst out suddenly!
The Jingwei Sword made a melodious whistling, and brought out a wave of destruction wherever it passed. Whether it was a beautiful woman dancing gracefully and smiling, or a courtyard full of immortality, or a beautiful and luxurious palace, all of them were tearing apart the sky and the earth. Torn into pieces under the broken formula.

With all his strength, he turned into a sharp arrow that shot out quickly, and rushed into the sea with a huge sword force. In the chaotic spray, he found the mirage beast that was trying to escape by taking advantage of the chaos. The long blue-purple sword marks slashed out horizontally!

Seeing that he was found, the mirage looked over coldly with snake eyes without a trace of emotion.

This is a mirage beast at the peak of the third rank. The thick long snake is covered with thick purple-red scales. The long purple hair on its back is like a flame dancing wildly in the sea. The claws under its body are thick and sharp. Not without horns, almost like a dragon.

Its cumbersome snake body twisted with unimaginable agility, and the Jingwei sword brushed its scales and flew into the air.With another twist, he dived into the deep sea at an extremely fast speed.

How could Liu Qinghuan allow it to escape, they were trapped by this cunning mirage for several days in all sorts of strange illusions, and today they finally found a loophole to tear it open, so naturally they had to go all out.

Chasing after him, Liu Qinghuan tapped his hands, Qiankun pointed out long white water marks, and opened several blood holes on his body at a faster speed, and Jingwei Sword also circled back.

The mirage writhed its body in pain, flexibly dodged the attack, and opened its mouth to spit out clouds of black mist, making the underwater vision even more dim.

The fog has a slight effect of isolating the spiritual consciousness, and after all, it is not as convenient in the water as it is on land, so Liu Qinghuan and the mirage fell into a fight.

Even though mirage beasts have no other means of attack other than creating illusions, the monster beast itself has a strong body with rough skin and hard flesh that should not be underestimated.

When the huge snake body rolled up, it was like tossing rivers and seas. Waves of water hit Liu Qinghuan vigorously, leaving him almost nowhere to stand. He could only rely on Jingwei Sword and Qiankun Finger to grind against it slowly.

I don't know how long it took, and when the sea water was dyed a faint red, the mirage was finally seriously injured and physically exhausted, and Liu Qinghuan took the opportunity to kill it.

Standing on the snake, he pulled out the Jingwei sword firmly stuck in the mirage's skull with all his strength, reached in and searched for it, pulled out a water-blue demon pill the size of an egg, and smiled with satisfaction.Then he stroked his abdomen casually, took out the somewhat shriveled mist sac, weighed it regretfully, and received it in the ring.

After searching for the useful spiritual materials on the mirage beast, Liu Qing leaped out of the water, and saw Liang Jing'an looking at it with a water mirror in his hand, but the expression on his face was a little gloomy, lost in thought.

Liu Qinghuan glanced at him: "Brother Liang?"

Liang Jing'an turned her head: "Brother Liu...you solved the mirage beast?"

Liu Qinghuan hummed, took out the demon pill and shook it.

"Such a big one!" Liang Jing'an suddenly said, "No wonder the illusion is so powerful, I almost..."

He smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for you, Brother Liu, I'm afraid I'd have fallen into a mirage and lost my sanity. The deeper I went into the mirage, the stronger the mirage I encountered, and I gradually felt more and more powerless, but it was holding you back gone."

Liu Qinghuan patted his shoulder with a palm, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, it's not like you to talk like that. You and I have been on the same road for so long, and have gone through so many things. How can there be any talk of slowing down?"

Liang Jing'an was not a sticky person, so she laughed at herself and said nothing more.

"However, this incident also reminded us." Liu Qinghuan said: "As mirages become more and more powerful, even if we know that it is an illusion, it will take a lot of effort to get out, and we will have to work harder in the future. Be careful."

"Yeah." Liang Jing'an said with emotion: "These guys are getting more and more cunning. I fell into this illusion, but I was gradually fascinated by it. It's really..."

He shook his head and didn't continue talking, but changed the subject and said: "We have been at sea for so long, and we haven't even found a single hair from Dushuo Mountain. I really don't know when we will find it."

Liu Qinghuan looked up at the sky, the blood moon was now only a tiny bud.The blood moon didn't appear in the past two years, and he didn't know if there would be one this year, so he could only helplessly said: "Take your time, there is no need to rush. The map shows that there should be an island nearby, let's go there to rest Two days."

"Alright, after being trapped by that mirage for so many days, I need to take a break."

The two packed up their things, Liu Qinghuan flew forward and raised his chin towards the water mirror in his hand: "Is there any fellow Taoist nearby?"

"No, they're all quite far away."

The mirage is extremely vast, and there were only a dozen of them in total, and a few more died for one reason or another, so now there are only seven or eight green dots left on the water mirror.Such a small number of people, thrown into the sea, is like a drop of water flowing into the ocean. If there is no water mirror, where can they be found.

Both of them stopped talking, both of them felt a little sad.

This kind of rambling search, which lasts for several months, not only consumes a lot of energy, but also wears down their will, and there is no hope in sight.Liu Qinghuan imagined that the congenital ghost peach tree would be extremely difficult to find, but she never thought it would be so difficult to find.

These days, he often uses the green wood energy to perform five energy tracking techniques, but to no avail, he even tried to communicate with San Sangmu.Both Sansangmu and Xiantian Ghost Peach Tree belong to Shenmu, and he thought that perhaps these two kinds might be able to sense something and help him find it.

However, San Sangmu seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep since the last time he showed his power in Wuyuqiu in the Eastern Wasteland, and hadn't moved for a long time. No matter how Liu Qinghuan shouted outside the tree of spiritual roots, it didn't even stretch out a single tentacles .

So there was only this kind of back and forth running around, thinking that every day that was delayed, how many people in Yunmengze would die in the battle to seal the world, I felt a strong sense of urgency in my heart.

However, he has also gained a lot these days, not to mention the demon pills and materials obtained from the mirages and other monsters he hunted along the way, even the islands he encountered on the way, and occasionally he can pick relatively rare spiritual herbs.

Half a day later, the two arrived at a place in the sea. Liang Jing'an flipped through the map and said, "The island should be nearby. Why didn't we find it after several laps?"

Liu Qinghuan looked around and said uncertainly, "Maybe it sank? Or it floated away."

Liang Jing'an flicked the map: "What a broken map, it's becoming more and more unreliable."

"This is also a common thing at sea." Liu Qinghuan said reassuringly: "Besides, this is already a deep sea, and it is full of powerful monsters and illusions. I am afraid that it is rare for the Qingyan family to send people here, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. Let's find it again."

Liang Jing'an nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I used to think that although I was a bit rough, I could bear my temper when I should, but compared to your unhurriedness, But it still seemed a little too impatient.”

Liu Qinghuan was taken aback for a moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked into the distance thoughtfully.

When he was young, he also had a strong curiosity, and he would recklessly take revenge when encountering injustice, such as the conflict with Qu Yunhe in the Great Sumeru Qiankun Pagoda. Later, there were many things in history. Love, hatred, and hatred are slowly seen away, and his temperament becomes more and more calm and peaceful.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his state of mind was more complete, and there were clear signs of the flaws in his state of mind when he encountered Xue Mei that day.

Gossip less, the two continued to wander on the sea, and it was like this for a few more months, and when the blood moon in the sky was about to complete again, there was still no sign of Dushuo Mountain.

On this day, the Qingming Meditation Pendant on Liu Qinghuan's body suddenly radiated unprecedented light, and the dazzling white light almost drowned him. At the same time, the tide-like coolness rushed straight into his mind, making him tremble all over, and he couldn't help but stop.

Liang Jing'an, who was rushing straight forward, saw his expression changed drastically, she couldn't help but be extremely surprised, and flew back: "Brother Liu?"

Liu Qinghuan raised his hand, signaling him not to speak for the time being, an inch-long gleam shot out from his eyes, and he brought his delusion-breaking eyes to the extreme, sweeping towards the thick fog around him.

Looking around, there is nothing unusual except for the lingering thick fog. The powerful spiritual sense directly penetrated into the extreme depths of the sea, only to find a few small and small second-order mirages swimming slowly. move.

Liang Jing'an cautiously leaned behind him, and waited for a while before softly calling: "Is there a big mirage?"

"No, I didn't notice..." Liu Qinghuan was very puzzled. At this time, the Qingming Meditation Pendant had returned to normal, the white light had dissipated, and only a slight coolness flowed into his body, as if the moment just now was his illusion.

That was naturally not an illusion, so his face was still solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "Can you find that there is an illusion around you?"

Liang Jing'an fiddled with her magic weapon: "No."

Liu Qinghuan frowned, scanned the surroundings with her spiritual sense, thought for a while and said, "Maybe a big mirage passed by just now..."

Such a reason is really hard to convincing, but other than that, he can't find any other reason to explain the sudden brightening of the Qingming Meditation Pendant.

"Next, we have to be more careful."

Liang Jing'an had long been accustomed to relying on his opinions, so she just nodded cautiously.

The two raised their vigilance and shuttled through the dense fog for several days, but only encountered a few small hallucinations.

The two, who were facing a formidable enemy, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Liu Qinghuan touched the Qingming Jingxin Pendant on his chest, and there was no difference after this pendant.

Liang Jing'an suddenly raised her finger forward: "Brother Liu, there seems to be an island in front."

"Huh?" Liu Qinghuan looked up, and sure enough, through the mist, she could vaguely see the outline of the island: "It can't be another illusion, right?"

You must know that those extremely cunning mirage beasts are not stupid, they will not make things that obviously do not belong to the sea, and most of them are island images in the beginning.

However, there was no abnormal reaction from the Qingming Meditation Pendant, and the surrounding scenery under the Eye of Delusion Breaking Dharma did not change.

"Haha, there is indeed an island near here!" Liang Jing'an had dug out the map, and said happily.

Liu Qinghuan leaned over and glanced at it, still puzzled.

"Why don't we go over there and have a look?" Liang Jing'an suggested hopefully, "You see, you didn't find any abnormalities, and I didn't find any abnormalities, and there is indeed this island on the map, so it shouldn't be an illusion. Eating, drinking, and drinking are all at sea, and I can’t even sleep the whole night, I’m really tired.”

They have been floating on the sea for several days. The last time they encountered a real island was two months ago. Both of them were almost turned into dried bacon by the sea wind. It was a great temptation to set foot on land.

Liu Qinghuan didn't object any more, but she still didn't release the delusion-breaking method, and leaned closer.

Near the island, the originally thick fog became thinner, and the true face of the island slowly emerged in front of the two of them.

Liang Jing'an raised her hand to call out her Fantian Seal, poured mana into it, and said, "Hey, this island doesn't look small. Brother Liu, as usual, you check the water, and I'll bombard you on it." .”

Liu Qinghuan also took out the Jingwei sword, and fell into the water with a reply, and heard the sound of heavy smashing from above.

This is a test they will make every time they encounter an island in order to avoid falling into an illusion without knowing it.

After wandering under the water for a while, and then went down to the extreme depths, but did not find any signs of mirages, Liu Qinghuan surfaced and made a gesture.

Liang Jing'an stopped and continued to smash seals, cheered, landed on the island, and walked up and down on the rocky beach: "It can be regarded as a place to rest, and the feeling of being down-to-earth is really great!"

Liu Qinghuan smiled slightly, and flew down to the island, wiped her face, and made a formula with her hands, and her drenched clothes immediately became dry and flat.

"Wait to go to the island to explore. If there is no danger, let's rest here for a longer time this time."

Liang Jing'an's gloomy look these days was swept away, and she kicked the sand and stones under her feet with great interest, saying: "This island is so big, and the spiritual energy is a bit stronger than other places, maybe you can find spiritual veins! "
