That day, Yuan Taiping took Qin Rulan to search in the direction from which the fragment of the demon sword came. Originally, the scent of the fragment of the demon sword was just fleeting, and searching like this was almost like finding a needle in a haystack. But just when Yuan Taiping was about to give up, the scent of the fragment of the demon sword was revealed. The reappearance immediately gave Yuan Taiping hope, and he continued to search.
Then it repeats like this, and the aura of the demon knife fragments will be revealed every once in a while.
At first, the interval was more than ten days, but gradually the interval became shorter and shorter, and finally it would appear once every two or three days.
Yuan Taiping pursued all the way, crossing Yuezhou to the north, then crossing Jingzhou to the east, and finally stopped at the junction of Jingzhou and Fuzhou.
When the demon sword's aura appeared again, Yuan Taiping accurately captured its location.
Maya Chihua Grand Canyon is a dangerous place at the junction of Jingzhou and Fuzhou.
The canyon starts from the Maya Mountains, extends straight to the northeast for more than 600 miles, and finally ends at the Qihua Mountains.
The rock walls on both sides of the canyon are steep, as if cut by a knife. The starting position is the widest, but it is only a thousand steps wide, and then gradually narrows, and it is only more than a foot wide at the end. However, the canyon gets deeper and deeper, and the end Bottomless.
Looking down from a high altitude, the entire canyon looks like a deep trench cut out by someone cutting a knife into the ground.
The reason why it is regarded as a dangerous place is because there are often evil winds blowing in the canyon. If the body is invaded by the evil wind due to poor cultivation, the person will become insane and talk nonsense, and it will take a long time to recover. In severe cases, the person will lose his mind and become crazy. There was no way to save him, and in the worst case, he died suddenly on the spot.
The deeper the canyon goes, the more strange it becomes. Even the strong men in the Holy Realm are very afraid of it and dare not set foot in the depths of the canyon.
But knowing that the canyon is very dangerous, a large number of cultivators still die tragically in the canyon every year because many rare elixirs grow on the steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon.
Strangely enough, there is a demonic wind blowing in this canyon that can make people crazy, but what grows on the cliffs are mostly elixirs that refresh the mind, make sense and soothe the mind. Among them, the elixir called the Awakening Fruit is the most popular. precious.
This awakening fruit is one of the main medicinal materials for refining the Tribulation Pill, and the Tribulation Pill is a must-have pill for a strong person in the Holy Realm to overcome the calamity, so it is extremely valuable.
A 100-year-old Awakening Fruit can be sold for the price of twenty star pills. If it can reach the price of 500-year-old, it can be sold for the price of 300 star pills. There is no shortage of 500-year-old Awakening Fruit in the canyon. There are magical fruits, especially deep in the canyon, that are even six, seven, seven or eight hundred years old.
The existence of the Awakening Fruit makes opportunities and dangers coexist in the canyon. Therefore, every year, a large number of cultivators dream of getting rich and take risks to collect herbs in the canyon. It is true that many people become rich overnight, but hundreds of times more people die in the canyon.
The location of the demon sword fragment captured by Yuan Taiping is deep in the Maya Chihua Grand Canyon. When he found the canyon, hundreds of cultivators were gathering in the canyon.
The cultivators were all in high spirits, because the evil wind in the canyon had been retreating into the depths of the canyon for several months, and all the elixirs hidden deep in the canyon were exposed. They were like fishermen chasing the sea, waiting for the water to recede to find it. Everyone gets a lot from the seafood exposed on the beach.
Yuan Taiping discovered that every time Yaofeng retreated, it was when the fragments of the Yao Dao revealed their aura.
After learning about the dangers in the depths of the canyon from the cultivators, he did not dare to lead Qin Rulan rashly into the canyon, so he and the other cultivators waited for Yaofeng to retreat and went deeper little by little.
One night, there was a sudden strong wind in the canyon.
Yuan Taiping and all the cultivators had no time to react before they were swept deep into the canyon by the strong wind.
The wind was strong and fast, carrying a strange power that made people confused and unable to think of resistance.
Yuan Taiping discovered that Kurosawa's magical power could help him resist the power of the demon wind, but he had to protect Qin Rulan so that he would no longer be able to resist the blow of the demon wind.
As the world was spinning, Yuan Taiping saw them being blown into a huge and ancient stone door by the strong wind, and then his eyes darkened and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself, Qin Rulan and other cultivators in a desert of yellow sand.
Under their feet was an ancient yellow sand road, leading to the vast unknown distance. On both sides of the ancient yellow sand road were huge sand dunes that could not be reached at a glance.
Under each sand dune, on the side facing the Huangsha Ancient Road, there is an ancient gate that has been eroded by wind and sand into a khaki color, and there is a bronze plaque above the lintel of each ancient gate.
The bronze plaque has been covered with sand and dust, and the words on it cannot be read clearly.
Someone was curious and walked to a stone door and swept away the sand and dust on the bronze plaque with all his strength, revealing three big characters: Xingyi Knife.
Immediately some cultivators exclaimed: "Xingyi Dao is the unique skill of Jingzhou Lingxiao Sect!"
Someone ran to the stone gate on the sand dune opposite, swept away the sand and dust on the bronze plaque, and saw five characters written on the bronze plaque: Xuanmen Zhou Tiangong.
Another cultivator exclaimed: "Xuanmen Zhoutian Gong is the unique secret of Lingzhou Daofa Sect and Lifa Sect!"
Some cultivators pushed open the ancient stone door with great excitement and walked in. They wanted to see what was hidden behind the stone door. Could it be a unique martial arts skill?
The result made them very disappointed. Inside the stone gate was an empty hall.
"The Changhe Sunset Technique is the unique secret skill of the Yuezhou Sun and Moon Sect!"
"The Great Compassion Heart Sutra is the unique secret of Leiyin Temple in Chuanzhou!"
"King Mu's holy genealogy is..."
They walked along the Huangsha Ancient Road and found that the unique secrets of a sect and aristocratic family were engraved on the bronze plaques of each ancient stone gate.
Someone finally came to his senses and exclaimed: "Could this be the legendary... library?"
"Where is the library?"
Most of the cultivators cast inquiring glances at that man.
The Library Pavilion appears only once in a thousand years, and most young cultivators have never heard of its existence.
"The Library Pavilion is..."
The cultivators who were familiar with the records in the Cangshuge Pavilion started to explain to other cultivators while walking along the ancient Huangsha Road.
Yuan Taiping easily found the last fragment of the demon knife.
Buried deep under the sand on the side of the ancient Huangsha Road, it was held in the hand of a huge white skeleton. This fragment of the demon knife seemed to be his weapon and was lost in this space with his death.
Judging from its huge figure, this white-bone skeleton should be an ancient figure.
Someone saw Yuan Taiping digging out a very good-looking sword from under the yellow sand on the roadside. Unaware of the truth, they thought there was a treasure buried under the yellow sand, so they immediately started digging out the same thing.
Yuan Taiping couldn't explain clearly, so he could only let them dig sand and earth.
Unexpectedly, they dug up white bones and skeletons one after another. The cultivators were horrified but also very happy because they dug up a lot of good weapons. If they were lucky, they even dug up pill bottles and Xumi mustard seeds. They are all relics of these bones and skeletons.
Roar!
The battle came very suddenly.
A ferocious beast with the head of a lion and the body of an ox jumped down from a sand dune, killing everyone on sight. A master of the Star Destruction Realm was trampled to pieces by its hoof.
When all the cultivators saw this bloody scene, they were all scared out of their wits. They instantly understood where the dead bones buried under the yellow sand came from, and immediately ran away. However, their escape speed was not as fast as one-tenth the speed of the ferocious beasts, and they were The ferocious beast kicked up its butt and slaughtered them.
Someone was chased by the ferocious beast into the ancient stone gate under the sand dunes. They were surprised to find that the ferocious beast stopped thirty feet away from the stone gate. It seemed that it was afraid of something. They immediately loudly reminded the cultivators who were still running away to let them know. They quickly hid under the dunes.
In this way, the remaining cultivators luckily escaped pursuit.
Seeing that there was no one to kill, the ferocious beast with the head of a lion and the body of an ox turned around and returned to the sand dune where it was located to lie down again.
The cultivators who were still in shock after escaping from death asked one after another what happened and who provoked the ferocious beast. The answer they got was that the stone door under the sand dune where the ferocious beast was lying had not been opened by anyone, and the ferocious beast was guarding it. martial arts secrets.
This answer made the surviving cultivators breathe quickly, but the smell of blood in the air and the corpses left on the ancient yellow sand road quickly calmed down their excitement, because they had no strength at all. Kill this beast.
