"The cause of their death is not the focus. There is no need to dwell on it here. Our focus now is to follow this line of investigation. Now that this overseas group acts again, it will definitely leave traces. We must catch them all this time!"
The police mobilized a large number of manpower and police forces to follow Yang Wen and others to investigate. The hard work paid off, and they actually discovered a major clue.
Near Daxia, that is, in East Asia, there is a base of theirs that is responsible for the smuggling and trafficking of cultural relics throughout Asia.
Seeing the latest information in his hand, Sun Zhenbang stood up from his chair excitedly.
"If we can take down this stronghold, it will cause a major blow to this overseas group, and maybe we can recover a batch of cultural relics smuggled abroad!"
"The most important thing is to ensure that Longyuan Mountain will not be harassed in the short term!"
Although the headquarters of the overseas group is in Europe, this stronghold is the center of Asian activities. If it can be cracked, it will be equivalent to cutting off their limbs.
Of course, what makes Sun Zhenbang most happy is that this is equivalent to doing things for the mountain god and helping the mountain god deal with these little people.
It can be regarded as my repayment to the mountain god.
The higher-ups also attach great importance to this case. After all, Sun Zhenbang has been pursuing it for so long, and now he has finally made a big breakthrough. It can be said that they give full support.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Although he knew their base, Sun Zhenbang was not in a hurry to take action, so as not to alarm the enemy, and planned to wait for a suitable time.
Since this matter involved foreign forces, a special special operations team was set up and handed over to the Armed Police Brigade for handling. Sun Zhenbang was responsible for assisting and investigating, providing intelligence and detailed information.
As for the previous cause of death of Yang Wen and others, under the impact of this incident, no one mentioned it anymore.
Maybe, as Li Mingzhang said, they just died of some sudden illness. Everyone in the police station thought so.
…
Qi Xueqing, who came back from the police station, has not been idle. He has been to the Nanchuan University Library and the city library these days, looking through a large number of history books and documents, but he has not found the information he wants.
Legend has it that Li Bai was hunted down during his exile, but he escaped because of an encounter with a Taoist temple from the Nine Heavens, and an immortal came to his rescue. Hence this poem.
The high-hanging Taoist temple is the dangerous building a hundred feet high, and the heavenly being in the poem is the immortal in the Taoist temple.
Compared with the actual Jiangxin Temple, the building in this legend seems to be more in line with the image in the poem, but when Qi Xueqing went to check this history, he found no records.
The source of the legend comes from nowhere!
If it is written records, there will be more or less traces. If it is passed down orally, where are the folk stories?
All of this is full of mystery and unknown. If this legend is true, why is it not recorded? If it is false, why can it be passed down to this day?
This situation is exactly the same as the previous fog of history. It is unknown whether it has come or gone, as if there is a ghost wandering in the long river of history.
Qi Xueqing stared at the computer screen, and couldn't help but think of what Hu Xiaocao said before, plus all the weird behaviors now.
I always feel that this little girl is full of secrets, like a historical mystery, full of contradictions and unpredictable.
Not long after, the column series "The Fog of History" was updated. The content of this update was related to Li Bai, and it was the song "Staying at the Mountain Temple at Night".
The historical fog ahead contains stories such as Zuo Ci's discussion of Taoism, carving a boat to seek a sword, Zhidun's explanation, and his spiritual journey to Yangzhou.
Although Qi Xueqing has not updated this series for a long time, the high-quality content has made many fans interested in it, so they are paying attention. When they see the updates, they click in as soon as possible.
"Good guy, blogger, you finally updated. Those who didn't know thought you were missing."
"Hey, this historical fog is actually about Li Bai?! This is a famous poet from the Tang Dynasty. This column is interesting. Is it possible that Li Bai also has some historical fog?"
"Li Bai is my idol! Although I memorized many of his ancient poems when I was in school, this does not affect my admiration for him!"
"I have been to Jiangxin Temple. At that time, I felt that it was a bit inconsistent with the content described in Li Bai's poems. I felt that something was wrong. Now after listening to the blogger's explanation, I found that it makes sense."
"There are records in history books that Li Bai later sought out immortals and asked, could it be because of this influence?"
"It's very possible. Maybe Li Bai himself has seen the immortal before, so he wants to follow the trace of the immortal."
Since this time it involves the historical celebrity Li Bai, who is also an idol worshiped by modern teenagers, the popularity of this Weibo post continues to rise, and more and more people are attracted to it.
Passers-by had misunderstandings at first, but when they clicked on it, they discovered that it was really the historical celebrity Li Bai. For a while, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the popularity has always been high.
Even those who are indifferent to Li Bai can't help but be attracted by what Qi Xueqing tells.
Even related words such as "Li Bai saw the immortal" and "Li Bai asked" have become hot searches one after another!
…
Compared with the turmoil of the world, Longyuan Mountain seems particularly secluded and quiet. The green peaks look particularly tall against the blue sky and white clouds. Between the boundless mountains and sea, there is a magnificent scenery.
The breeze blows, the pine waves are blowing, and the green mountains are endless, like a long and winding dragon sleeping here.
At the highest point in the mountain, the big green snake is hovering here, like a supreme monarch, overlooking his subjects.
The closest one is a big tiger with a clear head and white forehead. This tiger has a majestic body and gorgeous fur. The black stripes on its forehead resemble the Chinese character "王", which makes it even more powerful.
There is a weasel right next to the tiger. This weasel has a slender body, its fur is smooth and shiny, and its hind legs are crossed. It is sitting and lying on the ground, as if it is meditating like a human being.
In addition, there are foxes, squirrels, wolves, hyenas, etc. These animals have different postures and expressions, which are quite extraordinary at first sight. They have their eyes closed tightly, as if they are lost in thought.
There was silence in the mountains and forests, not even the sound of insects or birds chirping, as if they were worried about disturbing something.
No matter how magical these animals are, of course they can't compare to the green snake on the boulder.
Each green scale is like fine jade, shining with brilliant divine splendor, eclipsing even the light of the sun.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly circulates in Ye Qin's body, and the golden inner elixir slowly circulates, absorbing this spiritual energy and nourishing the muscles and veins throughout the body.
If you look closely, the golden elixir seems to be a little bigger than it was at the beginning, round and full, surrounded by golden threads.
Ye Qin no longer needs so much spiritual energy now, and the remaining spiritual energy is dispersed out of his body and slowly floats into the bodies of those animals.
Naturally, the one who benefited the most was the Siberian tiger, with a satisfied expression on its furry face. Even though it was still in trance, it made a comfortable sound of gurgling in its throat.
Although these animals are practicing together, due to their talents and understanding, their progress in practice is also different.
The fastest progress is definitely the Siberian tiger, and then there are the animals that have been with Ye Qin for the longest time.
Ye Qin released a few rays of spiritual power and felt that the spiritual energy in their bodies had reached perfection. "In that case, then I will help you."
He released his spiritual thoughts, and all the spiritual energy surged up.
Under Ye Qin's guidance, all the spiritual energy in the animal's body gathered at one point, constantly impacting the barriers inside the body.
Some animals hovered on their hind limbs and meditated like humans, while others stood up on their hind limbs and made inexplicable sounds in their throats. They didn't know what they were saying.
If you listen carefully, there are a few vague characters and syllables coming out of their mouths, as if they are reciting some kind of scripture.
It seems to be irregular, but in fact each syllable has a rhythm, which is accompanied by the ups and downs of breathing, and is full of mysterious rhythms. Even their bodies are swaying slightly, shaking their heads and immersed in it.
These animals cannot speak human words, but they have been with Ye Qin for a long time and have learned some spells, just like parrots.
The spiritual energy poured down like water, and even the air vibrated with invisible waves, and the surrounding green plants bent their bodies.
Almost instantly, all the animals opened their eyes in unison, a flash of light flashed across the beast pupils, and they stretched their necks and roared.
The Siberian tiger even let out a deafening roar, as if the earth was shaking.
These animals all had a vague halo of light around them. The halo quickly dissipated and submerged into the body, and the entire fur seemed to glow.
After so many days of practice, they finally broke through.
Among them, the Siberian tiger has changed the most. Its tail is like a hammer, but it leaves a deep mark when it hits the tree slightly, and its speed becomes faster.
The joy of the breakthrough made the Siberian tigers run all over the mountains and fields in excitement, leaving afterimages in the air. The oncoming strong wind also knocked down many animals.
The same is true for other animals, both in speed and strength.
Don't look at smaller animals such as weasels and squirrels. Because of the blessing of spiritual energy, the power contained in their bodies is comparable to that of adults.
The furry beast's face was filled with joy and excitement, and the entire mountaintop was covered in spiritual energy, making it extremely lively.
Even Ye Qin was affected by the mood of the beasts, and his eyes were filled with smiles.
…
Under the blue sky and white clouds, several beast roars could be heard from time to time in the green mountain peaks, startling countless birds to hover in the air.
At this time, Hu Xiaocao also returned to Longyuan Village. Looking at the mountain peak not far away, the purple energy in his body was also touched, showing a thoughtful expression.
“It always feels like something has changed on the mountain.”
But she couldn't tell the specific changes, but she vaguely felt that they were developing for the better.
As soon as she stepped into this land, the fresh breath hit her face. Every pore in her body was opened, breathing in the spiritual energy around her, making Hu Xiaocao feel refreshed. She couldn't help but stretch, and her whole body felt a little... Relax.
Hu Xiaocao didn't come back last month because something happened at school, so he didn't know what happened in Longyuan Mountain before.
Because of the purple energy in her body, Hu Xiaocao has more connections with Longyuan Mountain and is more sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to be in the village."
Although the high-rise buildings in the city are extremely prosperous, she prefers the quiet and leisurely mountain village life.
Only when she returns here can she truly release her nature.
The village chief was preparing to go to the mountain temple. When he saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the village, he thought he was being deceived and shouted uncertainly:
"Xiaocao?"
Hu Xiaocao turned around and saw the arrival of the village chief, and waved happily, "Grandpa, village chief."
The village chief asked in confusion: "Xiaocao, why are you back at this time? It's not your vacation time now. Did something happen to the school?"
The village is too far away from the school. In order to save travel expenses and have time, Hu Xiaocao is studying in boarding school, so he usually comes back at the end of the month for the holidays. Logically speaking, he should be at school at this time.
But after the kidnapping incident, the school was worried about her and gave her a few days' leave to go back and have a good rest. In addition, Hu Xiaocao was a little confused, so she took this opportunity to come back.
"Don't worry, village chief, it's just a small matter."
When he learned that Hu Xiaocao was almost kidnapped, the village chief was shocked, "What? Those traffickers are so arrogant that they even went to the university to arrest people."
The village chief's first reaction was that they were human traffickers.
Hu Xiaocao shook his head, "No, they came for Longyuan Mountain, and they are related to the tomb robbers in front."
The village chief frowned slightly, "It's those people again. Officer Sun said last time that these people are from an overseas cultural relics group. Unexpectedly, they failed several times, but they never gave up."
He looked Hu Xiaocao up and down and breathed a sigh of relief, "But it's okay. It's good that you're fine. First there were some spies, and then there were overseas organizations. It almost turned into a hodgepodge."
Hu Xiaocao looked confused, "What spy?"
"Some time ago, a few spies tried to break into the mountains, but we caught them and took them to the police station. At that time, even people in the military region were alarmed."
When he said this, the village chief looked quite proud.
Hu Xiaocao was surprised, "There is such a thing, so you are not injured."
The village chief showed a meaningful smile, "Do you think we will get hurt? Those people will be the unlucky ones!"
Hu Xiaocao thought about it and it was right. After all, the people in the village had experienced the baptism of Ziqi Donglai. Not to mention a few lawless elements, even a dozen or so, they were not afraid.
The village chief told the details of the battle. When he heard the villagers showing off their prowess, a smile spread across Hu Xiaocao's face.
It seems that a lot of things happened in Longyuan Mountain during her absence.
"Grandpa, village chief, tell me what happened in the mountains recently."
The village chief did not hide anything and told the details of what happened recently. Hu Xiaocao listened very seriously.
"It's probably these things, and judging from the behavior of those animals, there are quite a lot of changes in the mountain. It's just that we are afraid of offending the mountain god and don't go to check, so as not to disturb his old man."
Hu Xiaocao nodded, "No wonder I felt something was wrong with my breath when I came back. I thought it must be the work of Grandpa Mountain God."
Logically speaking, this matter is over and the bad guys are behind bars. There is no need for Hu Xiaocao to deliberately come back.
The village chief couldn't help but ask: "Xiaocao, there must be other reasons for your coming back this time."
Hu Xiaocao nodded and did not hide anything when facing the village chief's inquiry. "When I was dealing with those people, I felt that the purple energy in my body seemed to have changed, but I don't know the details, so I wanted to ask Grandpa Mountain God."
From Hu Xiaocao's description of the scene at that time, her ability should be higher than that of all the villagers.
You must know that when the villagers faced that group of people, they only subdued them.
As soon as Hu Xiaocao took action, he didn't even touch anyone, and he died immediately.
The village chief was not surprised. After all, Hu Xiaocao was most closely involved with the mountain god, and the child also had wisdom. He nodded and said, "That's fine, then you can go ahead."
After bidding farewell to the village chief, Hu Xiaocao came to the foot of the mountain, first went to worship at the mountain temple, and then looked at the no-entry sign, but she did not go any further.
"Grandpa Mountain God - Xiaocao has something to tell you."
The breeze blew in her face, and the leaves rustled, carrying her words into the mountains.
A pair of faint beast eyes, like two huge lanterns, watched Hu Xiaocao's actions, but they were not very malicious, but rather a bit narrow-minded and curious.
Hu Xiaocao's senses were sharp. When she turned around, she saw the brown beast opening its bloody mouth, flashing its sharp claws, and pounced towards her.
It was a huge tiger that was as tall as half a man. The word "王" on its forehead was majestic and looked very ferocious. It could even bite off half of her head in one bite.
Hu Xiaocao stood motionless, seemingly frightened by the sudden turn of events, and did not make any move to resist. In fact, her face was calm and there was no sign of panic.
Seeing this, the tiger's expression became more ferocious, and its mouth opened wider. The bloody mouth was very close. Seeing that Hu Xiaocao was about to become a meal, she still did not make any move.
It was impossible for the Siberian tiger to really eat people. His body froze in mid-air, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed. A look of confusion flashed across his animal eyes, wondering why Hu Xiaocao wasn't afraid.
What it did just now was just a bad idea, and it wanted to scare Hu Xiaocao deliberately. Who would have thought that Hu Xiaocao didn't play according to common sense at all.
Hu Xiaocao's clear black and white eyes stared at the beast in front of him, but he felt a little intimate, "I know, are you sent by Grandpa Mountain God?"
She had long heard about tiger-related deeds from the village chief, so she was not afraid. In addition, Hu Xiaocao had seen the bones appearing next to the mountain god when she was a child, and her mental endurance had long been beyond ordinary people.
The Siberian tiger was a little embarrassed, growled softly, took a few steps forward, and then turned back to look at Hu Xiaocao.
Hu Xiaocao immediately understood its meaning, "You want me to follow you?"
The Siberian tiger nodded slowly. It received Ye Qin's order to take Hu Xiaocao up the mountain.
Now Ye Qin's mental power has been able to cover the entire Longyuan Mountain. Not even the wind and grass below the mountain can escape his eyes. Hu Xiaocao felt it as soon as he stepped in.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, but Hu Xiaocao walked as fast as flying. After all, there was nourishment and blessing from spiritual energy in his body. Even after walking for so long, his face was still rosy, and even his breathing was very gentle, as if he had just walked a few steps.
Hu Xiaocao had not gone up the mountain for a long time, and never thought that the changes in the mountain would be so drastic.
The trees were intertwined with roots, blocking out the sky and the sun, and the thick vines were winding and winding. There were also many plants that she couldn't name. Even the grass on the ground was growing very gratifyingly, almost reaching knee height.
It felt like she was in an ocean of ancient forests. If the Siberian tiger hadn't led the way, I'm afraid she would have easily lost her way while walking here.
The further he stepped into the center, the richer the spiritual energy became. The purple energy in Hu Xiaocao's body was affected by this realm and became active again, as if it had found its home.
There was a hazy layer of mist in the center. Hu Xiaocao could not see clearly. He could vaguely see a faint green shadow in it, full of endless mystery.
She tentatively asked, "Is it Grandpa Mountain God?"
Hu Xiaocao couldn't see clearly, but Ye Qin could see it clearly, with an expression that seemed to be filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the little girl with a malnourished face and a thin face would turn into what she is now in the blink of an eye.
She is tall and graceful, and her every move shows elegance. Even though her facial features have not fully grown yet, you can imagine how graceful she will be in the future.
Ye Qin also sensed the surging spiritual energy in Hu Xiaocao's body, and he was indeed a child with wisdom.
At first, he gave Hu Xiaocao ancient books and scriptures unintentionally, but he did not expect that she would explore on her own along the way, and with the help of the purple energy from the east, it was not easy for her to grow to this point.
Not everyone can do this, so this child's talent could make him an ancient sage even in ancient times.
"What do you want to see me for?"
A deep male voice fell from the sky, carrying indescribable majesty.
Hu Xiaocao was startled at first and had not yet reacted. After all, Ye Qin could not speak before this, so she had never had a conversation with Grandpa Mountain God.
Now when I hear this voice, I feel much younger.
Hu Xiaocao was overjoyed after being surprised. He respectfully saluted in the direction of Ye Qin, his eyes full of piety and respect.
Although there was thick fog blocking her sight, she could not see clearly, but she knew that Grandpa Mountain God was there. "Xiao Cao came here to thank Grandpa Mountain God for his grace."
"I'm determined."
Hu Xiaocao pondered for a moment and said: "In addition, Xiaocao still has something that I don't understand. I hope Grandpa Mountain God can clear it up for me."
"Say it."
"Grandpa Mountain God, why is the purple energy in my body fluctuating recently?"
This is not a big problem. Hu Xiaocao has now reached the threshold of cultivation. However, she cannot control the purple energy and has no one to guide her, so she is so strange.
It was like a seed of cultivation had been planted in her body and wanted to break out, but could not find a way, so the purple energy fluctuated frequently.
"You have to learn to control the spiritual energy in your body and make it work for you."
Although Hu Xiaocao had power in her body, she didn't know how to use it. The previous battle with those people was also in a desperate situation and she couldn't control it.
Hu Xiaocao humbly asked for advice: "Then what should I do?"
"Whatever the heart desires."
As Ye Qin's words fell to the ground, Hu Xiaocao felt a strong and oppressive force entering his body in the mist.
She quickly relaxed her body and mind and let this power continue to swim through her meridians.
The purple energy that was originally scurrying around in the body became extremely docile at this moment. Following the path left by this force, it slowly began to circulate throughout the sky, forming a good cycle.
Seeing that order was restored here and the power was withdrawing, Hu Xiaocao was very perceptive and quickly understood the way the spiritual energy moved. He began to simulate its path and learned to control the purple energy in his body.
If Ye Qin's power is like the majestic mountains and rivers, which are constantly surging, then Hu Xiaocao is the tenacious green plant. It may seem fragile, but it grows against the wind. As long as there is a little sunshine and rain, it can survive in desperate places.
The surrounding spiritual energy also gathered and surrounded Hu Xiaocao, almost forming a substance, like a white jade belt, nourishing her body.
Hu Xiaocao's delicate and cold facial features became more and more dusty, with a hazy sense of beauty. Her understanding was higher than Ye Qin imagined, and she might be able to go further in the future.
And Ye Qin was not stingy with his advice.
I don't know how long it took, but Hu Xiaocao came back from his trance, and there seemed to be light flashing across his clear eyes.
Under Ye Qin's guidance, Hu Xiaocao has now officially entered the path of cultivation and has become the first modern human being able to practice!
"How do you feel?"
Hu Xiaocao looked grateful and thanked Ye Qin, "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for your guidance."
She understood that the power of guidance just now came from Ye Qin's handwriting, helping her to better utilize the purple energy.
"If you practice this way, you will achieve some success in less than ten days and a half. But with human cultivation methods, how should you follow this path? It's all up to you to figure it out on your own, so go ahead."
Seeing that it was getting late, Hu Xiaocao went down the mountain after talking for a while. As she left, the fog slowly dissipated.
Before going down the mountain, Hu Xiaocao truthfully informed the cultural relics group.
The repeated provocations from this group of people really made Ye Qin a little annoyed.
Although these people are just clowns in Ye Qin's eyes and have no chance to show off at all, he is still annoyed by them coming here several times. The clay figurines still have a bit of a temper, not to mention Ye Qin.
Then he sent his younger brother to inquire about it. It happened that Sun Zhenbang had come to the village and talked with the villagers about the matter, which allowed Ye Qin to know a lot of information.
"act recklessly."
A dangerous light flashed across Ye Qin's snake eyes. Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative. This group of people were determined to reach the Yellow River. If they failed this time, they would not be able to do it again next time.
In order to solve the problem once and for all, he decided to solve the problem from the source.
"What's the base in Asia?"
Ye Qin's spiritual power shrouded the mountain, and many animals were attracted. All of them were those who had achieved some success in cultivation, or who had just made a breakthrough recently. It was just a good opportunity to let them experience it.
"There is a task for you to do."
When the Siberian tiger heard this, his plump ears suddenly became pricked. For the Siberian tiger who couldn't rest, the days of training in the mountains were really boring. When he heard that there was a task, he couldn't wait to carry it out immediately.
The other small animals also had their eyes shining, with a bit of inquiry and curiosity. They kept chattering and asking Ye Qin what his mission was.
"I need you to take a trip."
The sunset clouds cast a faint golden color, covering the treetops, and dozens of animals were seen passing by and heading down the mountain.
The leader is a majestic big tiger, and there is a small figure on its back. If you look closely, it turns out to be a weasel, holding several yellow talismans in its hand.
The orange light stretched the shadows of these animals extremely long, and then turned into a small black dot, disappearing into the mountains.
The talisman paper will help them guide the direction forward, and it also has a certain effect of shielding the breath to avoid attracting attention.
After dozens of animals left at once, the mountains seemed to have become a lot quieter. Ye Qin was still a little unaccustomed to the absence of the Siberian tiger's noise and trouble.
To deal with this overseas group organization's lair in Asia, these animals, coupled with the help of the talisman paper, should be more than enough. It can also be regarded as a training for them. Let's see what the results are during this period.
After all, they should be considered little monsters now.
As for why Ye Qin didn't take action, firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, he had more important things to do.
His cultivation has reached the realm of the soul, and just absorbing spiritual energy is no longer of much use. If he wants to continue to advance, he must pay attention to an opportunity.
Having just come out of the Mottled Years episode, there is no need to rush to the next one, and there is no need to refine elixirs.
After thinking about it, he now has enough time, and another thing can finally be put on the agenda, and that is weapon refining.
Ye Qin had this idea very early on, but at that time his cultivation was not enough, and refining weapons was not as difficult and complicated as refining elixirs, so this plan could only be put on hold for the time being.
After all, relying solely on the physical body and supernatural powers as an attack method is still a bit one-dimensional.
If we deal with large thermal weapons in the future, magic weapons can play a key role!
Ye Qin has a long-term vision. As he practices, he may be able to hide it from the world at first, but in the future, he will definitely not be able to hide it.
Moreover, he has now founded the demon clan. The number of the clan is not large now. Once the scale expands, it will definitely attract the attention of humans.
It is naturally best to live in peace, but it is inevitable that people abroad will have different opinions.
Once a war breaks out, facing hot weapons, it is necessary to have strong means of self-protection.
Therefore, this weapon refining is not only for myself, but also to create a path for other demon clans to refine weapons. If they can master the weapon refining method, all the demons will have magic weapons in their hands.
"It's just about what is better to practice."
There are limited materials in the mountains and rivers. Materials for refining medicine are easy to find and can be found all over the mountains and plains, but materials for refining weapons are not so easy to find.
"Yes!"
Ye Qin's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something. With a thought in his mind, a small cauldron appeared on the ground.
This small tripod was what he had previously obtained from Zuo Ci's tomb.
"If we don't have the materials at our disposal, we can only refine them based on the original ones."
Ye Qin planned to smelt the cauldron again, starting from the simplest one, so that the chance of success would be greater. It would not be too late to refine it again when good materials are collected in the future.
Fortunately, Ye Qin did not throw away the big tank at the beginning, and could barely accommodate the small cauldron.
"The temperature of ordinary flames is not up to standard, and it will definitely not be able to smelt the tripod. Even if it is burned all night, there will probably be no change. We must find some way to do it."
Ye Qin pondered for a moment and soon came up with an idea. He concentrated his energy, used the ground as paper and spiritual energy as a pen, and formed ravines on the ground, like a chessboard crisscrossing each other.
Soon a talisman gradually took shape, and the pattern in the middle was even more like a flame. As it was completed, the temperature around it seemed to increase slightly.
The carrier of the talisman can be anything and is not limited to the form. The reason why most people choose yellow paper as the carrier is because it is convenient for writing and is relatively common.
But now Ye Qin wanted to make a fire. In order to avoid trouble, he simply wrote it on the ground, omitting the step of writing on the yellow paper.
"Go and help me find some firewood."
The surrounding animals took the order and quickly brought a lot of firewood and placed it on the talisman.
Ye Qin injected a spiritual energy, golden threads flowed on the ground, and the talisman was successfully activated. Bright flames instantly rose into the sky, and the fire was blazing, illuminating the somewhat dim surrounding environment.
It seems to be no different from an ordinary flame, but there is a bright golden light in the heart of the flame, and the high temperature inside makes the air become distorted.
Many animals stayed far away and did not dare to approach.
Although they have entered cultivation, fear of fire has become instinctive, and this fire is not an ordinary fire. The talisman and the support of spiritual energy make it extremely lethal.
In order to prevent the vat from being burned by the flames, Ye Qin also added a layer of mental protection around it.
Under the high temperature, the small tripod continued to shrink, and even the pattern on it gradually became blurred, and the dark liquid flowed along the tripod into the large vat.
Soon the cauldron shrank to only the size of a palm. Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Qin injected spiritual energy into it.
The object in the vat no longer had the shape of a tripod at all, only a bright light, like a small sun. As spiritual energy was slowly injected into it, it began to change.
Mental power is like Ye Qin's hand. If the force is too strong, the mass will become flat. If it is too light, it will lose its shape.
As a result, Ye Qin squeezed it for a long time, but the object was still irregular in shape and there was no way to tell. He couldn't help but sigh.
"This weapon refining is indeed much more difficult than elixir refining."
However, Ye Qin had plenty of time. After all, refining weapons could not be accomplished in a short while.
…
On the other side, the animals starting from Longyuan Mountain were traveling day and night. The Siberian tiger led the animals along mountain paths or small roads, and did not attract anyone's attention along the way.
But it is impossible to completely avoid people. After all, human footprints are everywhere, unless it is a no-man's land.
Near Yun Province, it is close to the border of Daxia.
A team that likes outdoor adventures was preparing to camp and rest in the wild. While everyone was busy, they suddenly saw flying dust not far away, and it seemed that even the sunset was mostly blocked.
"It seems like something is running over?"
"Is it a herd of sheep or a herd of cattle?"
The members of the expedition team didn't take it to heart. After all, they saw a lot of cattle and sheep on the way here. However, they soon realized something was wrong, because there were no cattle or sheep in the distance.
A tall and mighty tiger appeared in the field of vision, and everyone's faces turned pale with fright.
"Fuck! How can there be a tiger here!"
"We won't become the tiger's dinner today."
This tiger was as strong and strong as lightning, with brown hair flying in the air. It looked majestic and was galloping towards their direction.
Everyone's hearts suddenly hit the bottom, and their hands and feet felt cold. According to the tiger's speed, he could rush over in just a minute.
The tiger seemed to have discovered their presence, and a dim light flashed across its eyes.
Facing those cold and bloodthirsty beast eyes, everyone felt their legs become weak. Seeing the tiger's figure getting closer and closer, there was only one thought in their mind, that it was over.
"Hurry up and pick up the guy in your hand!"
Everyone trembled and hurriedly picked up the tools that came to hand. They were nothing more than hiking poles and the like. They had no effect at all and were just a psychological comfort.
It's too late to escape now, and they can't outrun the tiger. Maybe they can arouse the tiger's interest in hunting. I just hope that the tiger will give up the plan of hunting after seeing so many of them.
A deathly silence spread, and everyone felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They just hoped that the tiger could change its direction, but God did not hear their prayers.
The tiger's speed is getting faster and faster, and the pressure it brings is getting stronger and stronger, like a hill.
The faces of the people in the expedition team were pale, and their bodies were shaking like sieves, as if they had seen the fate of being killed in a tiger's mouth.
Soon enough, the tiger flew past them like lightning, without even paying them an extra glance.
Everyone felt a gust of wind blowing in front of their eyes, and behind the tiger, there were dozens of animals such as foxes, hyenas, and wolves.
These animals followed the tiger as if they were a group, or like a boss leading countless younger brothers, carefree and proud.
The expedition team was stunned and thought they were hallucinating. It was not until the tiger disappeared from sight that they came back to their senses. It was as if they had walked away from the gate of hell, and their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
The people who were surviving the disaster looked at the direction in which the tiger and those animals were running away, with incredible expressions on their faces.
"Old, the tiger didn't attack us?"
"Am I right? Why do foxes and hyenas follow tigers?"
"These animals should be on the tiger's diet. Why are they not afraid of tigers? The most important thing is that the tiger did not harm them."
"Did you feel that these animals seemed very arrogant just now and didn't even look at us?"
"It's strange that a tiger appears in this place. There is no forest or habitat nearby. This tiger came out of nowhere."
The members of the expedition team were talking a lot. Even though they had saved their lives, they did not dare to stay here. They were afraid that some large beast would appear again and rushed back to the city overnight.
This incident quickly spread to the Internet, and unexpectedly attracted the attention of many people.
"I have seen a tiger passing by with many animals on the highway before. At that time, I thought I was dazzled."
"It's a bit outrageous. How can different species live in harmony? Can you make up a story and make it more realistic?"
"I'm not lying to you. I saw it too. It scared me into a cold sweat."
"It's just bragging. Tigers are solitary animals and have a strong sense of territory. It is said that there is no room for two tigers in a mountain, so how can they travel with other animals."
"I'm really convinced by you group of sensationalists who can make up anything."
Some people also said that they had seen a tall and powerful tiger leading dozens of animals, but only a few people saw it, and these comments were quickly suppressed by doubts.
After all, it sounds unrealistic. Tigers are alone in animals. None of the same type can live together, let alone lead other animals.
…
The southern province is the city in the easternmost part of Daxia, and it is Myanmar.
Dozens of military vehicles were driving on the South Myanmar Expressway.
In the military vehicle, a man sitting with a national character face is tough and full of righteousness. It is the person in charge of this operation.
"Received the information from the fog, the information and information from the police side. We will carry out the arrest tonight. The target of this mission is the largest basis of the Overseas Cultural Relics Organization in East Asia, located in a auction house in Myanmar."
"In this operation, the superior has contacted the local officials of the Burmese side to ask for help. We will jointly enforce the law together and do this deck."
"However, the situation of the Burmese side is very clear. There must be traitors within the official internal, so everyone is vigilant."
Sun Haonan exposed his expression, "This order is too sudden, isn't it said that it will be closed for a while?"
Zhao Guoan shook his head, "The latest news, a auction will be held over the auction. Many of them have the cultural relics obtained by illegal channels, so we must bring this cultural relic back."
Sun Haonan nodded, "That's it."
As the police cars continued to drive, the scenery on both sides of the road continued to retreat, and his vision became empty. He quickly passed through the southern province and came to the realm of the Burma area.
