Ye Qin in the mountain still didn't know that because of his breakthrough, the energy of heaven and earth spread out, and even the villagers at the foot of the mountain were well affected.
It's like a small special halo is added to the surroundings invisibly.
This layer of buff has not reached the point where it can make people live longer, but it can make them feel refreshed and minor problems can be ignored, just like Sun Zhenbang.
It only lasts for about a day. It is difficult for others to notice it when they are in it. They just feel that the air is fresher today.
This is true for the villages at the foot of the mountain, let alone in the mountains. The animals seem to have become more active on this day, running and jumping back and forth between the mountains and fields.
The jungle is full of green and vitality, and the green leaves are so transparent that water can almost drip from them.
The crystal clear dewdrops slid down between the veins of the leaves and dripped on a passing little squirrel. Its big fluffy tail immediately trembled.
The chirping of insects and birds can be heard endlessly. After being injected with energy, the sounds are louder and louder than before. They rise and fall one after another. Some people think that there is some kind of concert here.
The animal has a strong and vigorous body, and after-images are passing through the air, stretching its body. Its fur is shiny and smooth, and it can be seen that it is obviously living a good life.
Even many nocturnal creatures came out in broad daylight. Their green bean-sized eyes were bright and their mental state was excellent.
At this time, Ye Qin was still in the tomb. He had just succeeded in the Qi Pill, and he was still consolidating it, and the innate Qi was more intense and active around him.
Even though he had been practicing for several days and nights, he didn't seem to notice any fatigue. Both physically and mentally he was in peak condition.
Invisible Qi washed over the inside and outside of the body, and each scale seemed to have been washed, soaked with an inexplicable water light. The color was so advanced that it could not be described in words.
There is a bit of edge in it, and every scale exudes a hint of coldness, which is intimidating.
If someone stumbles upon a big snake entwined in the tomb, they will be shocked. Even the dark tomb is filled with strange and mysterious things.
In Ye Qin's body, that small Qi Dan is the source of power, surrounded by mist, full of inexplicable mystery and mystery.
Other organs were also affected, taking on a new look, with a seemingly non-existent luster.
The body circulates for a week, and the body is suddenly full of power, as if there is endless strength. Ye Qin whips his tail violently, and suddenly a strong wind hits, like a knife cutting, and dust suddenly scatters.
If the tail really hit the ground hard, it would probably create a dent.
After realizing that the Qi Pill in his body was completely consolidated, Ye Qin opened his eyes again, and a faint golden light flashed across his deep snake pupils.
"It looks like we've gained a lot this time."
He didn't expect that the chain reaction would have such a great effect. Not only did it improve his state of mind, it even brought about a breakthrough in his cultivation, and he successfully condensed it into Qi Dan.
The biggest contributor is the Shangqingguan in Bai Gu's hands, which plays a major role here.
With a thought in Ye Qin's mind, the original visualization object appeared again.
There are human projections on the ground, white bones, and the Shangqing Temple. From the appearance, there are no huge changes.
After all the previous supernatural phenomena dissipated, the Taoist temple still looked old and stale, and seemed to have nothing special about it.
Ye Qin exuded a ray of spiritual power and did not sense any abnormality.
Ye Qin didn't know about the function of contemplation before this, but after Zuo Ci's discussion on Taoism, he had a vague glimpse of the Taoism.
The Taoist temple does not feed back its own strength, but it contains a special magical method.
Ye Qin's eyes fell on the Taoist temple again.
"Since it can help me enter the first time, can it help me enter the mottled years again the second time?"
Previously, Ye Qin was passively pulled in, as if he accidentally touched a switch, creating an opportunity, and thus he had this unique journey.
After understanding the principle, he wanted to take the initiative to enter that special spiritual field again.
If the Taoist temple can be used as a bridge again and bring him to another period of time to practice and gain enlightenment, it will not only save time, but also be an experience for him.
Ye Qin calmed down and tried hard to communicate with the Taoist temple, but the information transmitted to him was blank, and the induction from his mental power was extremely lacking.
It was like a unilateral disconnection, and there was no feedback from the Taoist temple. No matter how much mental energy Ye Qin put into it, it seemed like nothing happened.
"Sure enough, the shortcut is not that easy to take. If it could be opened casually, wouldn't it be too perverted?"
"Moreover, any contact and perception are completely cut off. It seems that the fragments of time remaining in this cemetery can only be entered once and then they will dissipate."
"I just don't know, is there any other special place that can retain such mottled years?"
Ye Qin was not discouraged. He had been mentally prepared before. If he could succeed so easily, wouldn't cultivation be as simple as drinking water?
There are not many shortcuts in the world.
Just like this time, he was able to reach Zuo Ci's time and space due to the blessing of many factors. Obviously, if he wanted to open the Taoist temple again, there were certain conditions and restrictions.
Even if he is the controller, he cannot do whatever he wants, after all, this ability to enter the time fragment is too unnatural.
If there is a cause, there will be an effect, and time is the most elusive existence.
Although he failed, Ye Qin did not give up. Since there was a first time, there would definitely be a second time. He had to find out what the principle was.
"Since it doesn't work here, what if I go to the Taoist temple in reality."
The Taoist temple in Baigu's hand was based on his visualization of the "Shangqing Temple" in reality. If he traces it back to its origin, he might be able to get the answer Ye Qin wants there.
"If that's the case, I'd really like to go take a look. Maybe I'll find something new."
Ye Qin is a man of action. Seeing that the sky is getting darker, he is also preparing to go down the mountain to the Taoist temple.
Since his body size is now enough to attract attention, Ye Qin either walks along the trail or picks up areas with lots of green belts and vegetation.
Ye Qin's speed was very fast. It originally took him a day and a night, but now it only took him half a day to reach the Taoist temple.
"It's a pity that I can't fly in the clouds, otherwise it would be faster."
Looking at the Shangqing Temple not far away, Ye Qin clearly felt that it was different from before. When he arrived, the place was remote and desolate.
Nowadays, vehicles drive by from time to time, and even the roads are paved. The sound of car horns is constantly heard, which adds to the popularity.
It was very different from the scene I had seen before.
After more than a year, the Taoist temple that was once abandoned and neglected has now transformed into a well-known local building. Long queues of people lined up from the Taoist temple to the side of the road.
It has also become a smash hit check-in place, attracting many people to watch online.
Because of this, many out-of-towners hear about it and drive thousands of miles to burn incense and worship.
As time goes by, although the popularity has decreased and the flow of people is not as exaggerated as before, the incense is still strong.
After all, the old Taoists also have real strength. With this wave of east wind, the Taoist temple business is prosperous and is no longer the precarious appearance it once was.
Fortunately, there were dense green belts nearby and Ye Qin had a bunker. Otherwise, if he appeared so openly, it would definitely cause panic.
He did not enter the Taoist temple. After all, there are many people and there are many pilgrims in the Taoist temple, so it is easy to find his presence.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Ye Qin chose a relatively high semi-uphill slope, where he also successfully visualized last time.
From here you can also have a panoramic view of the entire Taoist temple.
Incense smoke curled up, and from a distance, the surrounding area of the Taoist temple seemed to be covered with a layer of vague and non-existent clouds and smoke, which showed that the incense was flourishing inside.
All of this is thanks to the opportunity that Ye Qin gave to the Taoist temple, so it was able to develop to this point.
In a way, Ye Qin achieved the current Shangqing view.
In the same way, Shangqing Guan also made Ye Qin successful.
After all, when he came here, there was no Qi Dan in his body. Now that he comes back, both his state of mind and his cultivation are different.
Good causes produce good results.
To him, this was just a trivial matter, something that could even be ignored. To Shangqingguan, it turned the world around and turned the entire situation around.
For the Taoist priest, that early morning sermon was just a normal day in tens of thousands of days, but it helped Ye Qin become enlightened.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Maybe this is the magic. An inadvertent seed will develop into what it is today."
Regardless of his superior view of reality, it was a win-win situation for him.
Ye Qin was quite emotional and had not forgotten the serious purpose of his visit.
He summoned the original visualization object, the small and exquisite Taoist temple in the white bone hand, which was far away from the Taoist temple in reality.
The existence of one big and one small looks very harmonious.
Ye Qin's mental power is all around, and he can sense any fluctuations in the surrounding space or magnetic field immediately.
But the two didn't seem to have any reaction.
He calmed down and felt carefully, but still found no clues.
Originally, Ye Qin thought that the objects he visualized were based on the Taoist temple in reality, so there might be a special reaction here.
As of now, it has no effect.
"Is it because there is not enough time? The contact time between the two parties is not too long? Or is there other reasons?"
For a time, Ye Qin had many speculations in his mind.
But fortunately, he has plenty of time to verify it.
Ye Qin decided to stay here for a few more days to see if he could figure out the mystery. Anyway, being here did not affect his practice, it was just a change of place.
It would not be a bad thing if we could figure out the true role of Taoist temples and how to open the mysterious bridge.
Although there are more people around here, most of them go to Taoist temples. There are still many undeveloped places around here, so they are generally inaccessible.
No pilgrims would come here for no reason, so Ye Qin didn't have to worry about anyone coming to disturb him.
His eyes fell on the Taoist temple not far away, with a bit of exploration and doubt.
Can we find the answer this time?
…
A red sun can be seen rising slowly on the horizon, and the colorful clouds are like thousands of golden threads weaving out most of the blue sky, and the golden light in it can no longer be blocked.
The darkness can only withdraw. Under the sunshine, it hides behind the sky, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next night.
After Ye Qin left his mountain, everything was as usual and no different.
On the other side of the mountain range, this place is far away from human habitation and has escaped the scope of the foggy city. Even the nearby villagers do not walk here, but now a group of uninvited guests are welcomed.
The leader looked casually, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the mountains not far away, "Is this here?"
The younger brother behind him took a step forward with eyes and immediately lit it for him, "This is it."
Judging from the clothes they were wearing and the equipment they were carrying, they seemed to be travel enthusiasts who liked mountain climbing adventures, but the look on their faces didn't quite look like them.
There are many mountains nearby, and the mountains are endless, and the mountains are all connected to each other.
In order not to attract attention, this group of people deliberately made a large circle and chose such a location to go up the mountain. They wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears. Obviously, they had some ulterior secrets.
Most of these people are around thirty years old and have strong bodies.
Even on difficult mountain roads, the lower body is relatively stable. After walking for such a long distance, their breathing is relatively calm and there is no rush, which shows that they have some skills.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Wu and the others. They were completely wiped out even though they missed the mark. The big boss was so angry that the signboard almost fell into their hands."
"It is said that he is getting old and cannot accept old age anymore. When it is time to retire, he does not have this diamond, so he has to take this porcelain job. Now that he is good, he can take part in it."
"The most important thing is that we have to clean up this mess for him. If we can't find anything to take back this time, the big boss doesn't know how to explain it."
It turns out that the identity of the travel companions is just their disguise. Through the conversation with this group of people, it can be learned that they are also members of an overseas cultural relics reselling group and are in the same group as the previous tomb robbers.
Those tomb robbers failed and didn't take anything back. If the official archaeological team got it, that would be fine. After all, they couldn't do anything under the official's nose.
But according to the news, even the archaeological team failed.
This made the people behind the scenes unwilling again, so they sent them over, asking them to find the things.
"According to current clues and information, that thing is not in the hands of the archaeological team, nor is it in the tomb. It is said that it was brought out by the Fifth Master and others, and it is unknown where it is hidden."
"Fifth Master and the others were completely wiped out. They were unexpectedly alive and dead. They didn't have time to go down the mountain and join our people. It can be initially speculated that the things should be hidden in the mountain."
When the others heard this, they looked at the vast mountains with embarrassed expressions.
"Brother Zhao, there are too many mountains around here. If you want to find the items they have hidden in them, wouldn't it be like finding a needle in a haystack?"
The leader, Brother Zhao, was the person responsible for leading the team this time. He rolled his eyes, unfolded the map in his hand, and made a rough circle.
"Can you use your brain? The Fifth Master and the others died on the mountain. The place of death was here. Even if they hid the things, they were also nearby. We just need to start the search around here."
His tone paused, as if he had thought of something.
"But in order to prevent the official defense from setting up a trap and deliberately luring us there, so as not to alert the enemy, we have to avoid the location of the ancient tomb."
This group of people also learned that the archaeological team did not continue the subsequent archaeological work, but they did not know the detailed reasons.
I wonder if there is a scam here. Maybe after the officials learned that the tomb robbers had come, they wanted to take a long-term approach to catch big fish, so they set up a suspicion array and asked you to enter the urn.
But no matter what, if they go to the grave, the risk is too great, they will be exposed easily, and they may not be able to find what the boss wants.
After comprehensive consideration, it was decided to avoid the location around the tomb.
Fortunately, there is a general range, at least it is not a needle in a haystack. If the thing is really hidden on the top of the mountain, it should be able to be found.
Even if he was accidentally bumped into by someone, he could be said to be a traveling companion. With this identity as a cover, it would not be particularly strange. If he was bumped into while going to the tomb, it would be really hard to tell.
The bright sunlight casts down from the gaps between the dense leaves, forming tiny beams of light that look like they are shrouded in mist from a distance.
A group of people walked through it, and it was extremely quiet. They could only hear the trampling of dead branches and leaves.
After arriving at their destination, they put down their equipment and quickly started searching nearby.
When they came to this mountain top, they found that the trees here grew more densely, and even the grass next to them almost completely covered their ankles.
The surrounding vision also became darker, but luckily it was daytime.
If it were night, it would be dark and the mountain road would be difficult to navigate, which would cause a lot of inconvenience to their movements, so they had to move quickly.
Unfortunately, they searched for most of the day but found nothing.
One of them seemed a little aggrieved.
"Damn it, where did Mr. Wu and his group put this thing? It's really hard for people to live in peace even if it's dead. We don't know when we'll find it if we keep looking for it."
The people around me consoled me: "Don't be angry. If we find it this time, it will be a meritorious service. The big boss will definitely reward us."
Even though he said this, the man still cursed, vented his inner dissatisfaction, and kicked the rocks next to him violently.
The small stone drew a parabola in mid-air and fell into the bushes nearby, as if it had hit something.
The man didn't take it to heart either, just as he kept complaining.
A black shadow struck him and landed on him accurately, leaving a bright red mark on his forehead.
"Ouch!"
The man held his forehead and gasped. He looked closely at the thing that hit him. It turned out to be the small stone that was kicked away just now. He was stunned.
Instead of being kicked out, why was he kicked back again?
Before he could figure out what was going on, the sound of thin ropes came from the bushes.
A squirrel popped up, and it was obvious that this small stone was its masterpiece.
The squirrel put its hands on its hips, looked arrogant, and chirped a few words at the man, which felt like a curse, leaving the others stunned.
The man even covered his red forehead and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Even a squirrel dared to climb on his head!
When the man reacted, his eyes were red with anger, and he rushed forward, trying to catch the squirrel, but this little guy was too flexible.
Sensing the man's intention, he let out a chirp and immediately ran to the tree, standing out of reach of the man. He screamed and continued to output. The sound sounded really harsh.
Stomping his feet manly, there is nothing he can do. He can't climb a tree to catch a squirrel.
"Okay, why are you arguing with an animal? We have business to do."
Seeing that Brother Zhao had spoken, the man was indignant and took a hard look at the squirrel, wishing he could crush it to death.
But the squirrel was confident and swaggering, even wagging its tail proudly.
Everyone didn't take this matter seriously. After taking a break, they began to continue searching.
Logically speaking, if Master Wu and the others really left something on the mountain, they would have left a unique mark, which would make it easier to find it later and provide traces for inquiries.
However, they quickly searched the area, except for the trees, they searched almost everywhere, but still couldn't find any clues.
"Is it possible that our guess was wrong and that the thing is actually already in the hands of the archaeological team?"
Brother Zhao shook his head, "Absolutely impossible. If it were with the archaeological team, the big boss wouldn't let us come over. And according to the news, even the archaeological team was looking for it before."
"Since it's not with the archaeological team, there's no tomb, and we've looked for it on the mountain, is it possible that this thing can fly on its own with its own legs?"
Everyone was puzzled, but Brother Zhao seemed to hear something, frowned, and suddenly made a silence gesture.
"Shh, don't talk, someone seems to be coming."
The expressions of the others changed slightly, and their hearts tightened inexplicably, "It couldn't be the police."
"Why did the police come here? Could it be that the news leaked from our side?"
Brother Zhao shook his head, "It doesn't look like it, and we were very hidden when we went up the mountain. There was no one else around. It's unlikely to be the police. Maybe it's the villagers nearby."
"If there is really someone, let's not panic. Let's just say that it's a traveler who came to explore and accidentally got lost."
Everyone nodded.
Brother Zhao tiptoed closer to the source of the sound. The green leaves of the large plants in front blocked his view.
Looking away, the scene ahead made people stunned.
I saw that there were probably several animals gathering together in front of me. Small ones included weasels, and large ones included monkeys and jackals.
Someone in the team lowered his voice and said, "Am I right? Herbivores and carnivores can live in harmony."
But this is not the most surprising thing!
The most surprising thing is that these animals behave very strangely, even weirdly!
"What are these animals doing?"
They saw a monkey sitting cross-legged under the tree, with its five hearts raised to the sky, just like a human being meditating.
Others are in strange postures, such as a weasel sitting on the ground, holding a book with its front paws and opening it!
Animals learn from people, and those who are not smart are strange.
