Seeing that there were stories to listen to, Li Jian leaned against the big tree behind him and sat more comfortably. He usually lived alone to practice and had hardly heard anyone tell these new things, so he was naturally very interested.
Qian Chao thought for a while and then smiled and said: "Well, there is more," but he said to Yanxuan, "Sister Yan, you don't need to take this story seriously. It is just for us to understand some truths after listening to it. Even if it is true, It happened, I don’t know how long ago it was.”
Yanxuan nodded after hearing this.
"Well, this story is also a story about greed for profit and forgetfulness of justice."
Jiuxuan has a disciple named Wu Hui, who often goes out to do things with several fellow disciples. Over time, they get along well with each other.
Once when they went out, they found a ferocious monster in a cave outside the sect. Seeing how powerful the monster was, these people were happy, secretly thinking that such a powerful monster must be guarding a rare treasure. Because the cave was so narrow that they couldn't use it, so they decided to find ways to lure the monster out of the cave and kill it. Unexpectedly, the monster was very cunning and seemed to have read through the minds of these people. At most, they can deal with these people at the entrance of the cave, and when they see the momentum is wrong, they immediately flee back into the cave, leaving the few people helpless.
Later, one of the senior brothers who was older and had some experience discovered that during the fierce fight, the monster's movements were a little inflexible, and it seemed that there were some old wounds on its body that had not healed. After a few tests to confirm, he told what he saw. The rest of the people. Several people discussed again, firstly to prevent this monster from destroying the treasures in the cave; secondly, to prevent the night from being long and full of dreams. Wouldn't it be nice if someone passed by here again and had a foot in it? Therefore, several people decided to take risks and enter the cave to fight the monster.
Later, several people found an opportunity to work together to force the monster into the cave and ventured in. They fought hard in the cave and injured two people before killing the monster.
But after a few people searched the cave, they were disappointed. In the monster cave, they could find nothing except a few spiritual grasses that were not old enough and a few pieces of ore of poor quality. In desperation, they could only lament their bad luck. The few people could only collect the monster and return to the sect with their two injured companions.
However, a few days after returning to the sect, the man named Wu Hui secretly left the sect alone. After leaving, he went straight to the cave where he had killed the monster.
It turns out that Wu Hui learned some earth vein techniques from somewhere. This earth vein technique is the art of finding minerals buried under the earth and in rocks. After killing the monster that day, several people searched in the monster's cave. Wu Hui also searched for a while. After carefully looking at the rock wall in the cave, he suddenly felt that his blood was surging and his heart was pounding. According to the knowledge of earth veins, there is a great treasure here, but it is hidden deep in the rock wall. No wonder people can only find a few inconspicuous spiritual grasses where such powerful monsters live. . However, Wu Hui was selfish at that time and did not want to say it clearly. Wouldn't it be better if he got such benefits alone than sharing it equally with those few people? So Wu Hui forced herself to calm down and searched around in the cave for a while like a normal person, then followed them back to the sect.
This time when he went out, Wu Hui made up his mind to take the treasures in the cave as his own. After he found the cave, he hurriedly rushed in. After identifying it again in front of a stone wall in the cave, he felt satisfied. He was so happy that he started to dig out the rocks on the wall with his spiritual sword. He didn't know how long he dug. When he finally dug with his sword, a foggy white light came out from the pile of rocks. Seeing this, Wu Hui was overjoyed, so he gave up his spiritual sword and went with his bare hands. After digging, the light finally became stronger and stronger, and he found a small vein of spiritual stone. It was just as he expected that day!
Overjoyed, Wu Hui giggled and danced, wishing he could put all the spiritual stones here into his bag at once. However, after only a few spiritual stones were put in, he suddenly smelled a fishy smell and was shocked. When Wu Hui turned around to look, he found that there was no light at the entrance of the cave, and a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at him in the darkness.
At this point, Tang Ping saw Qian Chao stopped again, so she said, "Have you finished talking again?"
"Yeah," Qian Chao replied.
Tang Ping said: "Your story has no beginning and no end. Even I don't understand it very well."
"Yes, what happened to the man named Wu Hui? Was it the monster that was staring at him in the end?" Yanxuan also interjected and asked.
Qian Chao smiled after hearing this and said: "Of these three stories, this one is the one that interests me the most. After listening to it, I asked around and found that there really is such a theory of earth veins. It's just that I am collecting books. What I can find in the building are some superficial earth-viewing techniques. It is said that if you learn the art of earth veins deeply, you can see any mineral treasures in the underground mountains at a glance, but it's a pity that you can't find them."
Tang Ping said angrily: "I didn't ask you that, please tell me your story again."
"Hey" Qian Chao took out a spiritual stone and showed it to several people, "Lingshi is either mined underground or in the rocks. It is said that the cause of its formation is that the jade veins coincide with the spiritual veins that travel through the world. It is infiltrated by spiritual energy, so wherever there are spiritual stone veins, there is generally a place with strong spiritual energy, which is the foundation of a sect or a family. Naturally, these monsters have no idea of establishing a sect, but they really What I like is the spiritual energy gathered there, and generally places where spiritual energy gathers are more suitable for the growth of spiritual grass." At this point, Qian Chao also glanced at Yanxuan, and Yanxuan nodded when he saw it.
"That's why people generally say that wherever spiritual grass grows, there are monsters guarding it. In the story I just told, because there are spiritual stone veins in the cave, the spiritual energy there must be extraordinary, and that's why there are powerful Monsters build their nests there, but naturally all the monsters passing by this good place will covet it. Therefore, there will naturally be disputes between monsters and monsters over the cave. This is why it is said that the monster has Before the old wounds healed, Wu Hui and others worked together to kill the monster, but the cave would not remain empty forever. There would definitely be monsters living there. If Wu Hui had instructed everyone to dig out the stone wall at that time, That's all for the spiritual stones, but he was greedy and wanted to monopolize the spiritual stones there. When he went to dig alone, he encountered a monster that had taken a liking to the cave, and it just happened to block him in the cave. ”
"Wouldn't it be more dangerous than bad?" Yanxuan said after hearing this.
"Such a person is greedy and unjust, and that's what he should be like." Li Jian said.
After hearing this, Lu Pingchuan smiled and said, "Hey, I heard a similar story when I was a kid. The old people told it to us kids. It was about a couple of hunters who went hunting in the mountains. One of them saw a wolf cub but didn't say anything about it. , hiding it from everyone, waiting to go down the mountain, then going up the mountain alone to catch him, but he met the old wolf and lost his life, which is almost the same reason."
Tang Ping also said after hearing this: "This art of earth veins is probably very difficult if you want to learn it. The big ones are like our Five Spirits, and the small ones are those small aristocratic families and small sects. The spirit stone veins are the foundation for a foothold. Most of the things I have heard about are using some spiritual weapons to find spiritual veins, but I have never heard of this method of directly finding spiritual stone veins, and it is probably kept secret."
Qian Chao said: "Some senior brothers in Jiuxuan are said to have a way to find ore hidden underground, but even if someone knows this method, it is hidden and kept secret. Finding ore is much harder than finding spiritual stones. Well, at least we can follow the spiritual veins to find the spirit stone veins. There is no trace of the veins of the ore, so we can only try our luck like a headless fly."
Yanxuan was not very interested in finding spirit stone veins or anything like that. He was still thinking about the story Qian Chao just told, and said to himself: "Why did the stories I heard after entering the inner gate be so scary? No one listened. It makes people feel more comfortable.”
After hearing this, Tang Ping rolled her eyes and said to Yanxuan: "Sister Yan, so you heard some stories in Qixia Mountain, tell me."
Yanxuan said: "What's there to say? I haven't heard many stories in Qixia Mountain, but every time I hear them, they scare me."
"Hey, come and listen!"
