“The towering mountains are truly magnificent.”
Zhang Chulan put on his sunglasses and looked around. Outside the cliff, there were towering mountains that looked like a landscape painting in ink. There was an endless sea of clouds floating in it, covering the mountain and leaving only a few mountain peaks exposed, like an isolated island.
In the farther sky, the morning sun has risen, but is blocked by clouds. It is like a fire dragon ball, not dazzling, but revealing a somewhat blurry halo.
Everyone who woke up from meditation finally walked to the edge of the cliff, admiring the beautiful scenery. They involuntarily opened their arms and embraced the wind, feeling relaxed physically and mentally.
However, after being briefly stunned by the beautiful scenery, they also realized that it was indeed extremely challenging to find the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou in this wild and remote place that was far away from human habitation and had been shrouded in mystery for thousands of years!
……
At noon, the fog completely dissipated.
The dazzling sunlight struggled to penetrate the layers of dense treetops, turning into beams of light, barely illuminating the ancient ferns that had been growing for who knows how many hundreds or thousands of years.
There is cold spring water gushing out from the ground, forming a natural stream along the small ditch formed by the undulating terrain, hidden by the branches and leaves of the grass. The sounds of frogs and insects can be heard from it, accompanied by the calls of various birds in the woods, and the faint sounds of various wild animals.
This is one of the rare places in the world that is not dominated by the terrifying upright apes.
But soon, this wild order was broken by a sudden movement. The starling lying in the tree canopy with its tail raised suddenly became alert, for it heard a sound it had never heard before.
"This deep forest is amazing. All the trees look the same. If I hadn't been able to fly, I would have gotten lost after just a few steps. There are snakes and insects along the way, and most of them are poisonous. I'm really impressed."
"Not only are there snakes and insects, but there are also wild people. They like to hide in invisible places, sneakily catch you, and feed you toads!"
"Lu Linglong, stop bluffing me. What kind of savage can withstand a blow from my little white worm? I'm not afraid of any more of them!"
"Zhang Chulan, look at how cowardly you are. Why are you hiding behind Feng Baobao? And you still say you are not afraid."
"I'm just not afraid!"
"..."
The voices came from far away, coming from somewhere in the dense Thoreau bushes. As the dense jungle was pushed aside, a group of figures appeared. They were the Longhushan tour group.
There were thirteen people in the group, with Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye walking in the front. They stopped and walked from time to time, checking the animal skin notes, and were responsible for leading the way. Ma Xianhong on the side activated various magical instruments and released all the fly-sized monitoring insects to assist and help.
After them came a group of youngsters in random formation, chatting noisily, and last came Zhang Taichu and Lu Jin who were in charge.
The Qinling Mountains are sparsely populated and contain many dangers, but they do not pose a threat to a lineup like theirs, so the young people spent their extra energy on bickering.
Zhang Chulan was holding two machetes in his hands, wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a Gatling bag. He looked like an experienced outdoor explorer, but his figure, leaning closely behind Feng Baobao, always seemed a little wretched.
In contrast, Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua on the side were carefree and full of curiosity. They were curious about everything they saw along the way. They held the cameras in front of their necks and took pictures here and there. Catching frogs and poisonous snakes with their bare hands was a piece of cake.
On the way, he even pinned the wild boar king weighing more than 800 pounds to the ground and forced him to take a photo with it. Then he patted the other's fat buttocks and waved goodbye.
They also noticed the fear hidden in Zhang Chulan's heart, so they deliberately collected some legends about savages and monsters to scare the other party.
The funny guys were engaged in a verbal battle, with one person saying something after another, making the atmosphere very lively.
In comparison, the atmosphere of the trio at the front was a little heavy.
"This is so strange, this is so strange, this Qinling is really weird, even the magic weapon doesn't work?"
Zhuge Qing looked at the compass in his hand, which had turned into a fan-like needle. He felt extremely depressed!
The compass in Zhuge Qing's hand is not one of those fake common goods on the market, but a real magic weapon with a complex structure, extremely precise, and driven by Qi.
But the strange thing is that the compass malfunctioned in the Qinling Mountains!
Wang on the side also yawned: "Alright, stop making trouble. Your ancestors have written about it in ancient books. This is all normal."
"I guess we just happened to come across a passage where the earth's qi is surging and chaotic."
The Feng Shui and geomancy techniques of the alien world are naturally not groundless, nor are they a trick to deceive people. Instead, they are theories formed on a certain basis. One of the most important research objects is the Qi that everyone has.
Qi is a kind of energy. Humans have innate Qi, and there is also natural Qi in nature. Natural Qi can be divided into celestial Qi and terrestrial Qi. Qi cultivators can communicate these two kinds of Qi outside the body, collect them into the sea of Qi in the body, and through the interaction between the upper and lower parts, they can be transformed into the true Qi of a human being.
The earth qi in nature is mostly evenly distributed and out of reach. Only those who practice qigong can sense it in the dark. In some special geographical environments, the distribution of earth qi will also change, which will lead to changes in the so-called energy and magnetic field, and even produce some strange effects on reality.
These unique geographical locations have also become what Feng Shui practitioners call dangerous places, death places, blessed places, and treasure places. According to legend, a good Feng Shui treasure land can protect a family and bring blessings to future generations. The legendary dragon veins can affect the fate of hundreds of millions of people and dominate the destiny of a country!
The Qinling Mountains, which stretch across the land of China, starting from Kunlun in the west and stretching for tens of millions of miles, are called the Central Dragon Vein. The geo-qi veins that are rarely seen in the outside world are interconnected here, forming many geo-qi veins.
Therefore, items such as compasses often malfunction. Throughout the ages, many secret legends have been born, which were recorded by the ancestors of the Zhuge family in ancient animal skin scrolls as clues.
But Zhuge Qing was still unwilling to give up. He fiddled with his precious compass for a long time. Finally, he could only sigh helplessly and put it in his arms. He looked up at the jungle in front of him, which looked the same. He said helplessly: "External objects will not work. In the end, we still have to rely on human power."
After saying that, he changed his hands, pinched his fingers to make a decision, and stepped lightly on his feet. There was a strange aura that spread from his feet and went away, covering a land area of dozens of feet in radius. It was from elementary school to elementary school. The big Wuhou Qimen.
At this moment, he stood within the formation, following the mysterious feeling and extending towards the underground. Since the compass had lost its function, it meant that there were veins of earth energy nearby. With this kind of special "geographical situation", he could continue searching by groping.
"My ancestor was very good at predicting things. My Zhuge family has been passed down for thousands of years. It is impossible for his tomb to be in an ordinary place."
Zhuge Qing murmured to himself, and then his mind was shaken. He vaguely captured a very special wave that was vague or absent, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Found it."
As he spoke, he made a hand gesture to keep the formation diagram open, and threw the ancient book in his hand to Wang Ye, asking the latter to follow the clues left by the predecessors, verify each other, and grope forward.
The Qinling Mountains, which dominate the central part of China, cover an area of about 400,000 square kilometers. Over thousands of years, countless people have come here for the tomb of Zhuge Liang, but they were like ants flying into the sea, and most of them returned empty-handed.
Even the ancestors of the Zhuge family could only look for a very small number of unique Feng Shui locations where the earth's energy converged in this vast mountain range, and then screen them one by one, using the simplest and most reliable method to find the tombs of their ancestors. But to date, they have only explored less than one percent of the territory of the Qinling Mountains.
But they also continued to accumulate experience and change their exploration methods over the thousands of years. By the time of Zhuge Gong, they had roughly locked the location to an area in the southwest of the Qinling Mountains.
But the problem is that this small area shown on the map is also tens of thousands of square kilometers in size. Compared with the previous situation, it is just like looking for a needle in a haystack to looking for a needle in a large lake, which is equally difficult.
What's even more difficult is that the earth energy veins are as irregular as randomly growing tree branches. Often when you find a certain node, you have to rely on experience to find the most likely one among several or even dozens of earth energy forks.
Even with the ancient animal skin books left by their ancestors, the two geniuses of Qimen numerology, when they put their wisdom together, were still less than half sure. They often walked along a Qi vein and suddenly found something was wrong, so they had to turn back and return to the last Qi fork and change direction.
Along the way, everyone climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, seemingly with ease.
However, Zhuge Qing in the front needed to observe the magic formula all the time and constantly use the Wu Hou formation diagram to sense the direction of the earth's qi veins. This technique consumed a lot of true qi and mental energy. After about half an hour, he would turn pale and feel exhausted.
At this time, Wang Ye took over and opened the Fenghou Qimen to explore the way.
So the two of them naturally started to compete with each other in this process, like children, to see who could last longer at a single time. Zhuge Qing risked his life for this, and when it was his turn one time, he gritted his teeth and held on for an hour, then ran out of ammunition and food and almost fainted.
……
time flies.
It was noon and approaching dusk.
Everyone followed the Pig King group, climbed over steep cliffs, passed by riverbed abysses, and after a tiring day, they went dozens of miles deep into the southwestern foot of the Qinling Mountains. Finally, under the arrangement of Zhang Taichu, they stopped at a gravel area beside a riverbed to rest.
Everyone had a clear division of labor. Ma Xianhong took out various supplies including tents from the storage bag.
This chewing bag has the function of mustard seeds and mustard. It can collect unconscious dead objects in it and at the same time reduce part of the weight. It is a must-have tool for home travel and outings.
However, the space in the swallowing sac is limited, and it cannot bear more weight, so the three off-road vehicles that drove in last night were all parked where they were and were not taken in.
The girls began to pack up supplies and start cooking. Only Lu Linglong touched her belly, looked at the dense forest around her, gritted her teeth, picked up a shovel, and went into the forest to hunt.
In the following time, from the primeval forest not far away, there were bursts of faint roars, mixed with the wailing of various wild beasts!
Chapter 215: Ten Thousand Gu Devouring the Heart, First Touch
When night falls completely, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the frosty white moonlight sprinkles on the river, reflecting dreamy sparkling light.
People sat around the bonfire on the riverbank, drinking wine, singing songs and chatting with each other.
Zhuge Qing sat there with a depressed look on his face, which was a little pale. The workload for the day was too heavy, making him feel that the Qi sea in his body was almost exhausted. He almost made a fool of himself in front of everyone, and felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Wang Ye, on the side, was chewing some unknown wild grass roots and reading the contents of the ancient animal skin scroll by the firelight. At the same time, he was summarizing and pondering his experiences of the day and planning his whereabouts for the next day in advance.
Ma Xianhong was drinking with Zhang Chulan, and his face turned red from drinking. Feng Baobao on the side watched the two of them silently, with a straw in his mouth and Erguotou, which was empty in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Lingyu and his wife sat near the river, snuggling together, living in their sweet world of two.
A dozen meters away, there was an even bigger bonfire. Lu Jin and Lu Linglong, an old man and a young man, were constantly adding firewood to it. They were usually people watching a show.
There were a lot of game lying on the ground nearby, including more than twenty fat rabbits, six plump birds, three calf-high musk deer, and a wild boar that was half a person's height.
"My dear granddaughter, you lit such a big fire and hunted so much game. Are you planning to have a bonfire party?"
Lu Jin, who was standing at the side, had his face flushed red by the fire and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lu Linglong also had a red face, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Grandpa, I've already told you, this, this is for me to eat alone, to nourish my body... I'm growing."
Ever since she started practicing the Dragon Elephant Blood Moving Technique, the hunger in her stomach has never gone away. She also discovered that the more she ate, the less fat she got. Instead, her skills improved faster. So, little by little, she became the world's number one glutton.
Hearing this, Lu Jin was stunned and raised his voice by eight degrees: "Replenish your body?"
He looked at the game scattered all over the ground, swallowed his saliva and said, "This is enough for me to eat for a month."
I don’t understand, and I’m shocked!
……
at the same time.
Not far from the river beach, it is a dark place hidden by trees.
Zhang Taichu looked down at Chen Duo, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him with her eyes closed. He reached out and gently stroked the top of her head. A faint golden halo lingered in the palm of his hand, guiding the dark green Qi around her body to float slowly with some special pattern.
Tonight, he would take some time out to guide Chen Duo to practice this technique in order to suppress the increasing pain from the backlash of the poison.
Zhang Taichu's mind moved, and he picked up the ancient book placed aside, flipped through a few pages, and while studying the key points of the scriptures, he communicated with Chen Duo with his mind, constantly correcting the mistakes in the flow of vital energy in his body.
Chen Duo kept his eyes closed and did as he was told. The dark green Qi in his body became increasingly dense, until it reached a certain limit. There was a crisp sound, and the dark green color turned into pitch black.
Chen Duo's face suddenly became ferocious, and she was obviously in great pain. The protective suit covering her body immediately became swollen.
Zhang Taichu immediately pulled his hand back and said in a low voice, "Take it off."
Chen Duo, whose mind was already a little fuzzy, did as she was told without any hesitation. She used the energy in her body to tear the protective suit that had bound her for more than a decade into pieces. With some of her sanity remaining, she felt a long-lost sense of relief.
With a loud bang, a dark air wave exploded beside her, corroding the rocks it touched, but when it touched the golden barrier set up by Zhang Taichu, it could no longer move forward.
Chen Duo's body was exposed naked under the moonlight, but her skin, which should have been smooth and white, was now covered with a dark, muddy substance, and the surface of the "mud" was wriggling like water ripples.
This is not mud at all, it is clearly millions of tiny poisonous insects!
With Zhang Taichu's deliberate stimulation and the assistance of his martial arts, the poison in Chen Duo's body, which was already difficult to suppress, completely erupted at this moment. His entire body was almost swallowed up by the poison in a moment. He almost lost his human form and looked extremely evil.
Zhang Taichu, who took all of this in his sight, frowned slightly, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes - how could it not be painful when thousands of poisons are gnawing at your heart?
"What a poor little girl."
Zhang Taichu shook his head, stretched out his hand again, and touched Chen Duo's head directly, ignoring the squirming poisonous insects. He showed no disdain, and then with a thought, he sent out a stream of pure Qi, which entered the other person's body.
The black Gu touched by the true energy melted like ice and snow, but did not collapse. Instead, it was forced and submerged. Chen Duo's limbs and bones were like suppressed rebels.
This is the true meaning of the art of refining the Gu and returning to the origin - to completely control the Gu poison until it is as easy as using the true Qi with your own hands!
At this moment, with the help of Zhang Taichu, the poison that had previously ravaged Chen Duo's body gradually returned to order from its disordered and out-of-control state.
The other person's dark body gradually returned to normal. After the poison dissipated, smooth and delicate skin gradually appeared. Under the frosty moonlight, it looked even whiter, like an exquisite doll.
Chen Duo shuddered, then slowly opened his eyes. His once dark green pupils had now faded a lot and turned green.
She lowered her head and stared blankly at her smooth wrist. She reached out and touched it, feeling the delicate touch, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
The pain that was gnawing at my heart was gone, not even a little bit. My body seemed to be in better condition than ever before, just like the ocean that had been ravaged by storms for years, and now it had finally found its long-lost tranquility.
She slowly stretched out her hand towards the golden barrier around her. When she was about to touch it, the barrier melted away, and she was able to reach out unimpeded, and touched a wild flower growing from a crevice in the stone.
Feeling the gentle touch from the fingertips, Chen Duo's eyes trembled and crystal tears appeared. Then, like pearls that had broken off the string, they slid down her cheeks and fell into her chest.
This was the first time in her life that she had touched the world with her own hands so easily and without any hindrance.
At this moment, she had an unprecedented strange feeling in her heart, very uncomfortable, yet very refreshed. The feeling spread from her heart to her head and turned into tears.
Chapter 216: A tomb is discovered? A storm is brewing! The power of technology,
When Zhang Taichu saw that Chen Duo's condition had stabilized, he turned around, called Zhi Jinhua over, and asked her to change Chen Duo into clean clothes and take her to wash up. Then he whistled and leisurely joined Lu Linglong's campfire barbecue.
Lu Jin's face was full of excitement, and he kept asking him for a long time about Xiao Linglong's big appetite. Only after getting a positive answer did he feel relieved.
Zhang Taichu could understand this. After all, as a grandfather, he would always be worried when he saw his precious granddaughter suddenly have the appetite of Zhu Bajie.
"As expected of a real person, he actually has such a miraculous skill inheritance."
"My little Linglong is able to become your disciple. This is a blessing from her past life."
Lu Jin, who understood the reason, sighed and looked at Lu Linglong, who was carrying a barbecued wild boar leg and gnawing on it with her mouth full of oil. His eyes were full of kindness. He only hoped that she could eat more and replenish her body!
Time passes and the moon rises above the treetops.
Chen Duo, who was dragged away by Zhi Jinhua to wash and dress up, did not return to the camp until two hours later.
In the past, she always hid herself under heavy protective clothing, but now she changed into a white dress, revealing her snow-white and delicate skin.
