Everyone stood at the entrance and observed carefully for a long time, but found nothing unusual. The stone forest passage was empty. The sunlight slanted on the sparse stone pillars, creating bright surfaces and dark shadows. The gentle breeze blew the sand and dust in the air. There was no beetle or half a black snake swimming on the ground except for large and small gravels.
Everyone began to enter the stone forest, still moving forward in their own teams. The four Luo Luoshan people took the middle passage, and the three people Black and White Shuangsha and Qing Duan Chen were separated on the left and right.
After walking more than a hundred feet, they came to the place where the Five Elements Catcher was killed that night. They saw the relics of several of them scattered on the side of two collapsed stone pillars, including swords and other metal objects and objects with spatial properties. Not a single trace of the storage container made of special minerals, other bones, hair, clothing, or even the wooden scabbard and leather armor were left behind.
Luo Luoshan directed Asi to pack these things and move on. Soon, the team marched to the stone pillar where Shen Tuo was trapped that day. They saw the weapons, storage containers and other items belonging to Shen Tuo and his disciples falling to the ground. Naturally, Shen Tuo himself was nowhere to be seen. No one knows what happened to him in the end, but one thing is certain, that is, he must be dead. Naturally, Axi also collected his relics.
Going further, some metal objects and storage containers appear from time to time along the way, many of which are half buried underground. However, the climate here is dry, and these things are basically well preserved. It seems that for thousands of years, many people have died here.
Luo Luoshan smiled and said that these relics of the predecessors could be regarded as a treasure. He asked Axi to put all these things away and promised to distribute them as the harvest of this event after the operation.
Under the bright and scorching sun, there were indeed no poisonous insects in the entire stone forest. The group of nine people successfully walked a thousand feet and entered the vast desert again.
It's also a desert, but the desert terrain after the passage is a little different. There are no dense sand dunes here, but only slightly undulating flat sand plains.
Luo Luoshan led everyone to turn northwest. After traveling for more than ten miles, he stopped again.
After looking around, Luo Luoshan took out the positioning instrument and began to measure the direction. However, he fiddled with it for a long time and still couldn't determine which direction to go.
"Boss Luo," Qingshi asked, "Can't you determine the direction?"
"Yes!" Luo Luoshan said, "According to the clues I got, we can now see the above-ground part of Shenlong City. However, we can't see anything now. I suspect that after passing through the passage, the mirror illusion is still there. The direction we are taking is still wrong.”
"This is easy to handle," Qingshi said. "Now that we are walking on a flat sandy plain, we can tell whether we have deviated from the direction at a glance."
After saying that, Qingshi activated his wings of wind and thunder and soared into the sky, flying dozens of feet into the air in an instant. After looking around carefully, Qingshi made a rough judgment in his mind, so he gently fell to the ground.
The bluestone fell back to the ground, only to see everyone except Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye staring at him as if they were monsters.
"Brother Hai Ya!" Luo Luoshan swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you already a cultivator in the Divine Origin Realm?"
"No," Qingshi said with a smile, "This is just a martial art. My cultivation level is only at the beginning of the Immortal Pill Realm, which is far behind Boss Biluo and my two cousins."
Qingshi now knows that among the nine people, Luo Luoshan is at the ninth level of the Immortal Elixir Realm, Black and White Shuangsha is about the fifth or sixth level of the intermediate level of the Immortal Elixir Realm, Qingshi is at the first level of the Immortal Elixir Realm, Duan and Chen are both at the ninth level of the Jindan Realm, A Dong The three of Asi Anan are all high-level in the Golden Core Realm.
Hearing what Qingshi said, everyone nodded and put away their shocked expressions. However, Qingshi's incredible martial arts skills were so awesome that to some extent they were even more surprised.
"Brother Hai Ya," Luo Luoshan said, "did you find anything? Have we lost our direction?"
"No!" Qingshi said, "I saw the traces we walked, and it was basically correct. We were walking northwest. Theoretically speaking, since someone can see through the mirror illusion outside and enter here, then here we can go again There’s no point in doing this.”
"Then why can't we see Shenlong City?" Luo Luoshan said, "We should have walked ten miles, right?"
"Absolutely." Qingshi said, "I can't see any traces of a city in the large area around here."
"Boss Luo," Bai Xiong said, "could it be that the clue information you obtained is inaccurate?"
"No!" Luo Luoshan said, "We can get here based on this clue information, which means it is accurate. There is no reason why everything before us is correct, but we are wrong when we enter here!"
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said thoughtfully, "What exactly does your clue say? Can you describe it?"
"Of course," Luo Luoshan said. "The data says that after walking through the stone forest passage, you will enter a large sand plain. Walk another ten miles to the northwest, and when you come to a slightly raised platform, you can see Shenlong City. Aren’t we on this slightly raised platform right now?”
Everyone couldn't help but start to look around.
"Anan!" Qingshi said, "Look around carefully and see if you can find any traces of man-made construction?"
"No!" Anan looked around and said disappointedly, "There is sand on all sides, and there is not even a mouse hole. There are no man-made buildings!"
"Hmm~" Qingshi said thoughtfully, "It seems that this Dragon City is probably buried under the sand."
"Yes!" Bai Sha said, "I think so too."
"Not bad!" Luo Luoshan nodded, "It seems that this is the case in all likelihood."
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said, "Does the information say how far away Shenlong City is from this mesa? In which direction is it?"
"No," Luo Luoshan said, "I just said you can see it when you walk here."
"How about we dig around and take a look?" Duan Wutian said.
"Tsk~" Anan said, "With such a huge desert, do you know which direction to dig in? Do you know where to start digging? Do you know how deep to dig? You know..."
"I don't know!" Duan Wutian opened his eyes and interrupted Anan, "I only know that digging is better than standing around and making sarcastic remarks. If you can't come up with a better way, I will slap you again." pause!"
"You..." Anan closed his mouth in horror.
"What's wrong with me?" Duan Wutian shouted, "What's your plan? Tell us and we'll listen!"
Anan didn't say anything and ran away dozens of feet away.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Kesu Yun is right," Qingshi said with a smile, "One way is to dig around. We have many puppets to help. However, maybe we have a better way."
"What can we do?" Bai Sha said anxiously, "Brother Haiya is so awesome, please tell me!"
"There's no rush," Qingshi smiled, "We still have to wait."
"Waiting again?" Bai Sha scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion, "What are you waiting for this time?"
"Wait for the wind!" Qingshi said, "Wait for the strong wind at dawn tomorrow."
"Isn't it?" Luo Luoshan said in surprise, "Do you hope that the strong wind at dawn tomorrow will blow away all the sand and expose the Shenlong City?"
"It's not hope," Qingshi said, "it's utilization! Boss Luo, you used the wind to instigate the sails, so that the sand boat can gallop regardless of the wind or the wind. It traveled thousands of miles in a few days. This wind control technique is not simple! I'm afraid it's Have you understood the way of wind?"
"Good eyesight!" Luo Luoshan laughed and said, "I, Lao Luo, have indeed mastered some wind control techniques. But brother Hai Ya overestimated me. I have only scratched the surface of the way of wind, and I am far from understanding it. So, if you want me to control the wind direction to drive the sail, there is no problem, but if you want me to control the strong wind that blows the sandstorm, then I will not be able to do it. "
"Oh!" Qingshi nodded and said, "Boss Luo, you are too humble. I think your understanding of the way of wind is not just superficial."
"Maybe more than fur!" Luo Luoshan said, "However, I really can't control the strong wind to sweep away such a large piece of yellow sand!"
"Okay then!" Qingshi said, "In that case, I'll give it a try."
"ah?"
Luo Luoshan was stunned. Everyone else, except Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian, were also stunned for a long time and couldn't close their mouths.
"Brother Hai Ya!" Luo Luoshan came back to his senses and asked, "How far has your understanding of the Way of Wind reached?"
"I have realized the truth." Qingshi said lightly, "When I try to use the strong wind to sweep away the yellow sand tomorrow, if Mr. Luo is interested, you may wish to pay attention. It may be of some help to you. But I have never done this before. How can it work? It’s hard to say how effective it will be.”
"I've realized it! Oh my god! I'm really a genius like I've never seen before!" Luo Luoshan was surprised and said happily, "I took the initiative to teach you. Of course I can't ask for it, Lao Luo. Thank you very much, brother!"
That night, Qingshi did not enter the tent, but sat cross-legged on the ground to practice the Great Huang Gong. After the completion of the nine cycles, it was already late at night. Qingshi did not practice the Water Source Kung Fu anymore, but lay on his back on the yellow sand and watched the stars move around. After a night of rest, he had put his energy and spirit into the best condition.
At dawn, the strong wind blew again in the desert.
Qingshi stands on the highest point of the platform facing northwest, with his elbows gently placed on his waist, his forearms stretched forward, palms upward, and naturally spread out in front of him.
When the wind came, Qingshi released his will power, letting it penetrate into the wind like thousands of tentacles.
He is exploring the speed and power, direction and trajectory of the wind, and he is also sensing the wind's character and temper, likes and dislikes.
The wind gradually strengthened, and the power of Qingshi's thoughts slowly merged into the wind. Then, he felt that he and the wind had become one.
Luo Luoshan stood ten steps behind Qingshi, and the others stood about a hundred steps behind them. They were all watching how Qingshi used the wind control technique, and they were always paying attention to the movement of the wind.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger. It blows from the northeast, mixed with dense sand and dust, and hits the bodies and faces of Hei Bai Shuangsha, Duan Wutian, Chen Tianye, and A Dong A Xi Anan. Their bodies were swaying slightly and their eyes could not be opened.
Suddenly, the seven of them felt that the wind suddenly became lighter again. They were surprised to see Luoluoshan, a hundred steps away, with his clothes spread out and his hair dancing wildly. It was obvious that Luoluoshan was still in the fierce wind. Looking at the bluestone in front of him, it seems to be in the breeze, the corners of his clothes are fluttering, and his hair is not messed up.
Then, the seven of them noticed that the direction of the wind had changed, from northeast to southwest to northwest. Apparently, the wind turned when it passed here.
In addition to the change in wind direction, the strength of the wind also changed, becoming more and more violent.
Suddenly, a large black shadow suddenly rose in front of Qingshi, as if a curtain was pulled up from the ground to cover the sky and the earth. It was the yellow sand on the ground that was blown up by the fierce wind and swayed into the sky.
The power of bluestone's thoughts is like a giant net covering the heaven and earth. Every thread on the net is integrated into the flowing wind between heaven and earth.
Under the control of Qingshi's thoughts, the wind became even crazier. Like an invisible giant hand, the strong wind swept and threw the yellow sand on the ground crazily toward the front and sides with the northwest direction as the center.
After the violent sand and dust flew all over the sky for more than an hour, the strong wind gradually died down. As the sun rose, the sand and dust quickly dissipated, and the wind became gentle again.
Starting from the bluestone, a lowland radiating out appeared on the desert. The entire lowland was roughly fan-shaped with an angle of about 90 degrees, spreading out for at least ten miles to the northwest.
There is still a vast expanse of yellow sand in the lowlands. However, about seven or eight miles away from the bluestone and slightly to the west, you can see several sharp ground bulges appearing on the yellow sand. Judging from the appearance, those There is no doubt that it is a man-made spire.
