Chapter 178: Mountains and Hills
(Recommend Chapter 178 Mountains and Hills
The territory of Hou Chu already belongs to the southern part of Dongtu Shenzhou. Due to some complex geographical reasons, there are so many mountains, hills, swamps, and dense forests here, occupying nearly one-third of the area of Hou Chu.
Fortunately, the area of the human world at this time is extremely vast, and because of the arrival of troubled times, the population has been greatly reduced, so the earth is still in a state of less people and more land. In the deep mountains like this, except for some extremely poor villages and ordinary people who occasionally go into the mountains to cut firewood and hunt. There are few people outside.
The mountain where Yunlong is located is part of the Qianling Mountains. The ancestral line of the Qianling Mountains originates from Qianshan Ridge and is in the same line as it, so there is no shortage of spiritual energy. And because there are few traces of geniuses and relatively abundant treasures, it belongs to the less valued sphere of influence in the southern demon sect and is very extensively managed, so it has become the first choice of the cave for many southern cultivators. (Note that this is a cave only. It is still possible for individual casual cultivators or individuals to open a residence, but it is not possible to establish a sect here. The dignity of the top sect of the Southern Demon Sect cannot be violated.)
Due to these superior conditions, this place has become a very famous gathering place for casual cultivators in the south. There are many cultivators in the mountains millions of miles around. Over the past ten thousand years, countless cultivators have opened caves here and then moved them there for various reasons. Its abandoned.
For some casual cultivators who are not wealthy, these abandoned caves are treasures. As long as they can find a place to obtain the medicinal materials, elixirs, magic weapons and even inheritance left in them, it will be a huge gain. And if you are lucky enough to discover a cave of a powerful cultivator, the benefits will benefit you for life.
Since there were many cultivators who once practiced in the Qianling Mountains, among them, no one knows how many powerful cultivators have left behind their own caves. But every few decades or hundreds of years, there will be more or less examples of cultivators discovering the caves left by previous cultivators and then developing them.
The most famous thing in the past thousand years is that more than 300 years ago, a young Taoist named Li Jingxu obtained the inheritance in an ancient cultivation cave in the Qianling Mountains. After practicing for nearly two Jiazi, Pu Yi came out of the mountain. He began to show his prowess in the ancient swordsmanship "Nine Sword Forging Techniques" and the ancient qi training "Daohai Xuanweijing", both of which are amazingly powerful and exquisite. It created a lot of waves and was known as the "double swordsmanship".
However, due to his excessive limelight, he was tabooed by the southern sects and his excessive arrogance triggered a joint attack by the southern demon sect and other major sects. He suffered a lot. Finally, he was forced to leave the Qianling Mountains and go west to Shu Mountain to live in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain.
Although he has almost disappeared, his ability to survive the joint attack of several factions can be seen as a person. This has also aroused more people's enthusiasm for the Cultivator's Cave in the Qianling Mountains. Over the years, he has always had some feelings. Lucky cultivators come here to try to become those legendary lucky ones.
Naturally, none of these people were able to achieve their wishes, and most of them returned without success or even died in the battles and dangers involved in the case. The Qianling Mountains are not a pure land.
Naturally, Yunlong came here not out of poverty and wanted to explore these abandoned caves - speaking of the Immortal Cave Palace, there were more Sanxian Cave Palaces and Narcissus Water Palaces overseas, and he had already discovered a few. Moreover, as the saying goes, "Sit back and eat in the mountains." After countless people's excavations, most of the easily found caves in the Qianling Mountains have been discovered. The rest of the hidden caves require chance, great perseverance, and great supernatural powers to discover that Yunlong just doesn't have that skill.
She suddenly heard the sound of thin footsteps in her ears. She turned around and found a mountainside a thousand meters away. A casual man who was probably in the period of Qi training was coming down the mountain. Looking at his depressed face and slightly tattered clothes, she knew that this was another person. He is a failed treasure hunter.
The casual cultivator did not pay attention to Yunlong but left alone. "Without opportunity and perseverance, no matter how great the hope is, it will come to nothing." Yunlong looked at the departing casual cultivator and sighed, then turned around and continued to move forward based on the vague insights in his soul.
Greed is certainly undesirable, but opportunities should not be missed, otherwise disasters may befall you. This is the saying goes, "Heaven takes the blame for what he doesn't take." When Yunlong disappeared from the sky and passed through the Qianling Mountains, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his soul, as if something familiar was calling him. So he entered the Qianling Mountains regardless of inquiring about Hou Chu's information.
After a long time, Yunlong climbed over another big mountain and then stopped to look at the hills that suddenly appeared in front of him. There are many large and small peaks in the Qianling Mountains. This is already the ninth mountain that Yunlong has climbed, but he still has not found the location of the induction and general cave. Instead, he has encountered several troubles such as attacks by monsters and robberies by evil monks. Of course, these troubles were solved by him in a flash, but it also made him feel very depressed. If the Nass induction in his mind hadn't become clearer and clearer, Yunlong might have given up.
"Even if you have the opportunity, you can't seize it without patience and perseverance." Yunlong couldn't help but sigh. "Fortunately, it seems that I have found it." He thought to himself as he looked at the scene in front of him.
There are hills ahead, but they are different from the ordinary hills evolved from broken mountains and erosion. These hills are neatly distributed and are about fifty or sixty feet high. From the hillside to the ground, there are pieces of terraced fields distributed in sequence. A very cherished but uncommon medicinal material.
The medicinal herbs grow very luxuriantly and each tree has hundreds of years of medicinal properties. A huge white marble stele stands in the middle of the terraced field. On closer inspection, you can see some strange patterns painted with black gold paint that look like some talismans and ancient charms. The medicinal materials distributed in the terraces are slightly facing this stone monument as if they are worshiping. Instead, there was also a faint green mist that blended into the air.
This is obviously not a natural product, and Yunlong also sensed it. The moment he walked down the mountain and stepped into this area, a familiar force swept over him, and his body seemed to have passed through a film and entered another. Heaven and earth, or formation space. The center of this space is the terraced stone monument.
