Early the next morning, before the sun peeked out from the distant ridge, Qian Chao started to get busy.
Li Jian wanted to find a safer location. Yesterday, whether it was the blind cricket underground or the flying Qingluan, five people saw it. Tang Ping said that Qingluan would not pay attention to the five people at all. Here, there is no need to worry that the big bird will attack five people, but this also shows that Qingluan will not care about the life and death of five people. Once Qian Chao lures the blind cricket to the ground, Qingluan will kill the big sand. If it were a bug, it would not worry about hurting five people at all, so it was very important to find a place where you could see the excitement clearly but not be affected.
Qian Chao took the thick stack of talismans to arrange his formation. From the place Li Jian found to watch the excitement, Qian Chao's figure was almost a small black dot.
This time the formation took longer to set up than at any other time. It was almost half an hour later before Qian Chao flew back from afar.
"Girl Tang, I've finished setting up the formation. It only takes half a cup of tea at most. You'd better attract that Qingluan first." Qian Chao said after falling down.
"Well, Mr. Qian, give me your cinnabar and talisman pen."
"Oh?" Now it was Qian Chao's turn to be curious. Is it possible that this girl Tang can also make talismans?
The writing desk, cinnabar, talisman pen, and a big piece of yellow paper are all ready.
"What are you...?"
"Hey, Miss Tang wants to draw talisman too!"
"It is somewhat close to your talisman. It is one of the few spells in our Yuling Sect that requires the use of pen and ink. You are ready. As soon as Qingluan arrives here, you will start." Tang Ping said.
"Do not worry."
Then Tang Ping grabbed the talisman pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and started drawing on the yellow paper.
It has to be said that Tang Ping, who rarely plays with pen and ink on weekdays, also has a lot of skill in his pen. He is quite graceful when he writes. With just a few strokes, he drew a graceful and noble figure on the yellow paper, fluttering its wings. The flying phoenix.
"Hey, Miss Tang's painting looks really similar, just like the big bird yesterday." Lu Pingchuan praised while looking at it.
Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and looked at it carefully before putting down the pen.
"No finishing touches?" Qian Chao said.
Indeed, although the luan and phoenix on the yellow paper were painted vividly, the eye sockets were still blank and the eyes were not highlighted.
"Don't worry," Tang Ping said, "That's the last step."
Then, Tang Ping put her right index finger into her mouth and bit it hard, causing blood to bleed from the bite. Then she put her hands together like lotuses blooming and performed many complicated hand movements. When the hand skills finally stopped, The bloody index finger of her right hand shone brightly. While she was performing the magic tricks, Tang Ping was still reciting something in a low voice. When the magic tricks stopped, her silent chanting also stopped.
The bright finger clicked lightly on Luanfeng's eyes on the yellow paper.
Tang Ping seemed very cautious about this point. After clicking, Tang Ping's pretty face immediately turned pale. But at the same time, the other four people immediately felt that the Luanfeng drawn on the yellow paper immediately looked different. It was originally just It was painted with pen and ink, but with Tang Ping's point, the Luanfeng in the painting suddenly came alive, and even... maybe it was an illusion of a few people... They all felt that after adding the key points, the Luanfeng in the painting seemed curious and calm. He glanced at them, and for a moment, several people's hearts were shocked, because with Tang Ping's point, they couldn't tell whether they were in a distant place or a painting close in front of them. Such a majestic force enveloped them for a moment!
Then in the eyes of his companions, Tang Ping knelt down solemnly and respectfully in front of the painting he had made. Qian Chao and others took a few steps back when they saw it, knowing that Tang Ping would cast the spell next. .
They saw Tang Ping kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and then her hands complicatedly transformed into more obscure gestures. Her mouth was full of chanting sounds that they could not understand. When they heard Tang Ping chanting in their ears, The sound was not fast, nor was it very weak, but the four people just couldn't understand it.
Following Tang Ping's movements, the painting on the desk slowly floated up. It was originally lying horizontally on the table, but suddenly it stood upright. It seemed that the bird in the painting was looking at Tang Ping, listening to Listening to her voice.
After a while, Tang Ping stopped chanting and hand gestures, and then kowtowed respectfully to the painting.
Then, the outline of the phoenix in the painting suddenly lit up red, and then there was a bright red light. After the last dazzling red light, the yellow paper disappeared, and a small red phoenix fluttered in front of Tang Ping. There, several people were stunned when they saw the little red phoenix hovering and then suddenly exploded, turning into dots of red light and disappearing!
Almost at the same time!
From the distant sky, a high-pitched and clear sound of the luan and phoenix came from afar!
It was at this time that the two Shangguan Hong sisters, who were peeking at Song Zhen making trouble for Cao Ze, also heard the distant singing of the luan and phoenix!
Tang Ping's body almost fell to the ground. Yan Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to support her. At this time, Tang Ping's face became increasingly pale. It was obvious that what she had just done had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy.
"Boy Qian, let's get started. Qingluan from yesterday will be here soon."
"Okay!" Qian Chao said.
They were on a mountain peak, facing the big hole drilled by the blind beetle from a distance. Qian Chao stepped forward, stood on the outside, stretched out his hand, pulled out a talisman and threw it away. As the wind blew up, he was touched by Qian Chao's hand skills. A piece of soft yellow paper suddenly stood upright like an iron plate and hung in front of Qian Chao. Qian Chao was also like Tang Ping just now. Likewise, the tricks in both hands kept changing. Gradually, several companions noticed that the winding runes on the talisman gradually lit up. When Qian Chao's other talismans were used, the runes on them They lit up almost at the same time, and the runes on this one were lit up gradually bit by bit.
In the distant sky, the black spot flapping its wings was getting bigger and bigger.
This was the first time that Li Jian clearly noticed in his senses an extremely powerful and majestic spirit bird flying from such a far away place. As the Qingluan got closer and closer, the feeling of majesty became more and more intense. It was so intense that it seemed that the world was being continuously magnified by some mysterious and powerful force to countless times, and it continued to become smaller. Even a stone crack on the ground under its feet was like an abyss.
"My dear, it's it again!"
Lu Pingchuan stopped looking at the money tide and turned to look at the Qingluan flying closer and closer. Strangely enough, in the past, he would involuntarily praise "so fat" when he saw any big bird, but this Qingluan He didn't have any such thoughts in front of him.
But Yanxuan thought differently. At first, she was still thinking that every time she used the "Phoenix Breath Technique", the magic would make a phoenix chirping sound. She felt that the phoenix chirping sound was somewhat similar to Qingluan's cry, but it also had a different meaning. There was an obvious difference. As for what the difference was, she couldn't explain it. Then her eyes were attracted to the Qingluan, and she became fascinated by the reflection of the sun on Qingluan's back feathers.
As for Tang Ping, she no longer had the shock and ecstasy she felt when she saw Qingluan yesterday. Now she only felt full of joy, and she looked calmly at Qingluan who was about to fly over.
The last rune on Qian Chao's talisman finally lit up, and then Qian Chao's two hands, each with their own hand skills, clapped together with a "snap", and the talisman immediately melted with a "boom". After making countless scattered yellow dots, they disappeared.
The five people felt a series of spiritual energy fluctuations almost at the same time, but they were far away, and those fluctuations were already very weak when they reached their location.
It was precisely because of the distance and the fact that they were attracted by the flying Qingluan that they did not notice the changes in the sand where the blind beetles emerged yesterday.
The place was filled with a vast white mist at some point, and the white mist was gradually rising, with the momentum of rushing straight up.
In fact, it was not white mist at all, but the white fine sand on the ground seemed to be affected by some force. Pieces, handfuls, and even grains were suspended, like a piece of turbid water. , even the round and round stones, which were originally washed by the water that once flowed there, slowly rose up from the ground under the influence of that force, hanging in the air piece by piece, slowly moving upwards. There are also various weeds and shrubs that are not deeply rooted, and they are slowly turning and floating.
This is Qian Chao’s formation!
The circling spiritual veins that passed under this piece of sand were slowly rising up and emerging from the ground under Qian Chao's formation.
Of course, there was movement in the big hole that the blind beetle came out of!
"Wooing", a sound like the roar of an underground cow came from the entrance of the cave. Every time a sound was heard, a lot of sand was thrown up high from the entrance of the cave, like a sudden hot spring. Then there were violent vibrations on the ground. It sounded like something was stubbornly fighting underground, unconvinced and fearful at the same time.
However, Qian Chao's formation affects the spiritual veins, and this blind sting is dependent on the spiritual veins. If the spiritual pulse moves, it will also move with it.
Although Qian Chao was not even as good as a grain of grass in front of the blind beetle, the changes in his spiritual veins caused even an extremely powerful monster like the blind beetle to flee in fear.
This is the power of formations, the power of runes, the power of rules between heaven and earth, and also...the power of knowledge!
If the five people were standing on the sand at this time, they would definitely find that although the sand was filled with mist, the spiritual energy was extremely dense at the same time.
Qingluan flew over at this time, casting a large shadow on the ground.
The sun shines on every colorful bird feather on its body, reflecting a dazzling and intoxicating brilliance.
Qian Chao's formation was also noticed by Qing Luan when it was activated. At that time, it had just flown here. The big bird was slightly curious about this, but then the movement on the ground attracted its attention. Yesterday There was a lot of movement coming from the cave where the big bug escaped. The dust and sand rising in the sky couldn't cover its double sun. Then it flapped its wings and began to circle around the entrance of the cave.
Qingluan's figure was passing in front of the five people. When he was the closest, Tang Pin's eyes finally shone with eagerness again.
"Come out." Li Jian said.
With a "Wooing" sound, the earthy yellow sand and white fine sand on the ground rolled and mixed together, rising higher and spreading wider, making it difficult to see clearly, but under Li Jian's induction During the process, he clearly grasped that an extremely thick body was slowly emerging from the large hole with great reluctance and caution.
It is round and fleshy, like a huge dust-brown pillar lying on the ground. It is six or seven feet high lying on the ground. The soil on the surface is falling down. After crawling out, the whole body is like It was like a snake coiled up in circles, hiding the end with the big mouth in the middle. Li Jian didn't notice this guy's eyes. Maybe this is the origin of the word "blind" in this guy's name.
Qingluan finally seemed to understand why he was summoned here. The big bug that escaped from his mouth yesterday was lurking in the mist-like dust below!
Suddenly there was another extremely high-pitched and joyful Luan cry, and the five people were stunned to see that Qingluan's huge body could actually make such a rapid and subtle turn, and then the Qingluan rushed straight down. , like a flash of extremely gorgeous lightning, it rushed into the chaos on the ground!
This time, the sand and dust were stirred up even more. The five people could not see what was going on inside at all. However, Li Jian knew that before Qingluan rushed down, the blind man noticed the existence of heaven and earth. Here Li Jian Jian couldn't help but secretly praise Brother Qian's formation. The big hole was right next to it, and he could escape if he got in. But even though he was scared to death, he never thought of getting back in. It seemed that he wanted to fight for the last time to fight the trapped beast. When Qingluan screamed and rushed down, the big body of the blind cricket rolled up, trembling so much that it was filled with despair and fear. The big mouth like a small pond suddenly opened wide, and it aimed at Qingluan. He wanted to bite it, but as soon as he pounced, Qingluan's two sharp claws pounced on it, and then he let out another desperate roar!
Then the green luan's sharp long beak pecked into the body of the blind cricket at once, and pecked out a shiny thing. Almost at the same time, the blind cricket became motionless, it was that simple!
But in the eyes of the other four people, whose perception was far less than that of Li Jian, the scene they saw was completely different!
The dust and sand rising all over the sky gathered and dispersed with the fluttering of Qingluan's wings. Therefore, the four people except Li Jian could only rely on their eyesight to see what was happening there. They stared at the Qingluan in dumbfounded eyes. Luan rushed into the dust and sand. Although the outline in the dust and sand was blurry, the thick and rolling thing on the ground could be seen clearly, maybe it was the blind cricket. Then both of them were obscured by the dust. Then, The dust and sand suddenly dispersed with the fluttering of the Qingluan's wings, and they saw the dusty brown insect on the ground with extremely thick flesh, raising its head and opening its mouth to bite the Qingluan. The dust and sand immediately spread. Then they couldn't see clearly again, and then there was a loud roar that shook people's hearts from the dust. When the dust was scattered by Qingluan's wings, they saw that the big sandworm had completely crouched down. On the ground, Qingluan's two sharp claws firmly grasped the big insect's fleshy body. At this time, Qingluan was making a long cry and was about to peck at the big insect. When the dust spread again, he There was another roar that stopped abruptly just as it came out, and it seemed that there was a flash of light inside!
Li Jian knew that that flash of light was because Qingluan suddenly pecked the demon elixir out of the blind insect's body. Tang Ping had said that this blind insect was of extraordinary rank, so its demonic power was The elixir must have such brilliance, and then Qingluan raised his long neck and swallowed it.
In the end, the remaining four people only saw Qingluan with his head raised high.
Immediately, Qingluan stretched his wings, kicked his legs on the ground, and rushed out of the dust and sand that blocked the clouds and the sun. He was satisfied and full of joy, and surrounded the place where Tang Ping and others were standing. The small mountain peak circled in a circle, and then with the sound of a luan, it rose into the sky and headed towards the southeast skyline.
Tang Ping's face was filled with joy, and Qingluan's final circle around them expressed his satisfaction with her offering.
At this moment, what Tang Ping and others didn't know was that somewhere in the distance, a pair of sisters were shocked and excited to see this Qingluan. Then the sister solemnly promised the younger sister, The young bird of Qingluan must be obtained for her.
One more thing, before Tang Ping and others built the foundation later, the five people fought fiercely with Shangguan Hong around the young bird of Qingluan. On several occasions, they were plotted by Shangguan Hong and almost fell into despair, but they always relied on the five The combined efforts of people can turn danger into safety.
…
"I won't go back!"
Song Qiao suddenly shouted, her pretty face flushed with excitement, and her beautiful big eyes were covered with tears.
"Whether you go back or not is not up to you. You were chosen by your family. If your family allows you to go back, the sect cannot stop you."
Song Zhen said.
After meeting, Cao Ze was extremely well-behaved and immediately stepped forward to salute. After some conversation, Song Zhen understood what Cao Ze meant. It turned out that this boy was having a heated fight with the woman next to him, but it was his sister who came up to him. Cao Ze Knowing that she was his sister, he didn't dare to make any move at all. Now Song Zhen was in a dilemma. If it was Cao Ze and his sister who were intercepted today, he could really kill Cao Ze here, but now it seems Come on...it seems I can't find a reason to kill him.
But Song Qiao seems to have been fascinated by Cao Ze. This is not good, so let's send this little girl home to stay for a while.
As a result, Song Qiao objected fiercely. What happened recently? Cao Lang, who was thinking about her so much, suddenly turned cold to her, and her brother suddenly appeared and reprimanded her before letting her return to the Song family. This really made her feel extremely wronged.
"Then you go home and tell me that you sent me here too!" After saying this, Song Qiao stood up and flew away in a hurry.
After all, Shang Chun was acting as Song Qiao's friend. When he saw Song Qiao running away in anger, he rushed to chase her as if he was concerned.
"Stop!" Bao Xian interrupted her with a shout, "Xiao Song, let's go after your sister. Also, you guys, stay away from Song Qiao from now on!"
Bao Xian hates these frivolous women the most. In her eyes, Shang Chun is not a good person. Now it seems that it is indeed necessary to send Song Qiao back to the Song family. In her opinion, this matter is a good thing for Cao Ze. He had some brains, but Shang Chun was the most suspect. Maybe this coquettish woman was instructed by someone to deliberately bring Song Qiao close to Cao Ze.
Song Zhen also gave Shang Chun a cold look, and then said:
"Senior Brother Ruan, Senior Sister Bao, let's go!"
…
Qingluan has long since disappeared, and Qian Chao's formation has also failed, and it really only lasted half a cup of tea.
Now the dust there is slowly falling, but the shock and impact that the five people suffered just now has not passed yet.
"Be good! Such a powerful insect seems to have died instantly!" Lu Pingchuan said.
"That's it," Yanxuan also said, "Just for a moment..."
"This is the difference in strength!" Li Jian sighed.
"What was pecked away by Qingluan was Blind Scorpion's demon pill?" Qian Chao asked.
"That's right, when high-level monsters and beasts fight with each other, they are only after the monster pills on each other's bodies. As for flesh and blood, they have long ignored them." Tang Ping replied.
Tang Ping didn't dare to hope for the demon elixir of a high-level demon beast. It was also her wish to let Qingluan take it away.
"Hey, then..." Lu Pingchuan suddenly thought of something.
"Brother Lu, that blind stingray is an earth beast. Don't think about its meat yet. Hurry up. You need the blood of the earth spirit beast to make the blood soul wine. Hurry up. If it's too late, I'm afraid it won't be usable. "Tang Ping said.
"Yes!"
Before the dust had completely settled, Lu Pingchuan flew down in a hurry. Blood Soul Wine is a good thing. It was what Lu Pingchuan relied on to turn the tide last time. Now he can no longer obtain the materials to make Blood Soul Wine. Missed.
But when Lu Pingchuan stood in front of the huge body of the blind man, he was dumbfounded again...
This damn thing is too big!
Where is the heart of this thing?
Fortunately, Tang Ping was here. Under her guidance, Lu Pingchuan finally cut open the blind stingray and found its heart in a piece of pickled stew. The porcelain bottle received half the bottle of blind blood.
"Hehe, we can do much better again!" Lu Pingchuan said happily.
Lu Pingchuan was extremely laborious when cutting open the skin of the blind bug, which intrigued Qian Chao. He carefully studied the wound of the blind bug and said:
"Using the skin of this thing to refine armor must be of the best quality."
"Then can the meat of this thing be eaten?" Lu Pingchuan was still thinking about this.
"Then we have to ask Senior Kang Fu. We would never hunt this thing normally."
"Then we can only wait until my master comes back. However, this guy is too big. It would be a pity to lose it. My storage bag cannot hold such a big thing." Lu Pingchuan said in embarrassment.
"Come on, Brother Lu, use this." Qian Chao handed over a storage bag. "I made this myself. It's much better than what the sect gave me. It shouldn't be a problem to fit this big guy."
…
"Boy Qian, is the ruins you mentioned down there?"
There was no danger here anymore. This was something Li Jian had repeatedly confirmed. Tang Ping came to the dark hole and looked down.
"It should be down here, otherwise there wouldn't be anything anywhere else. Brother Li said there is nothing here anymore, so let's..."
"Of course I have to go down and have a look," Lu Pingchuan, who had finished cleaning up the blind bug, interjected, "For such a powerful bug, there must be something good where it lives. Who would want to go and have a look!"
"As long as there is nothing hidden inside, you can go take a look." Yanxuan also said.
After entering the cave, there was light at first, but the further down you went, the darker it became. Later, Qian Chao continued to use his yellow paper to illuminate it.
It fell more than twenty feet, and then reached the bottom. The cave began to slope gently from here. The five people walked along the cave and found that it seemed that the cave was spiraling downward. Walking in this cave The spiritual energy inside is much richer than the spiritual energy outside. This is exactly what Qian Chao said is caused by the earthly spiritual veins.
They didn’t know how many times they spiraled downward until they finally reached the bottom. The five people found that the cave branched into a two-way intersection at the bottom, and a cave seemed to extend towards the habitat of the blind cricket. As for the other cave, it seems that the blind beetle has never been there. The height and width there are not accessible to the blind beetle, and there are many rules. It looks like a square passage. The most surprising thing is that there are still caves there. bright!
The five people stopped at the fork and looked to both sides.
"Uh..." Lu Pingchuan pointed to the side with light and said, "Is that where the ruins Brother Qian said are?"
There was light, which might indicate danger. Qian Chao and others looked at Li Jian.
"No, there are no living creatures down here except us."
Only then did a few people feel relieved.
"Then, which side should we go to first?" Yanxuan asked.
"If there are really ruins, they should be over there." Qian Chao looked at the end where the light came from. "So it will take the longest time there, so we might as well go to the place where Blind Ming stayed first." Take a look, collect what you find, and then go look for it over there, how about it?"
Everyone nodded.
Walking into the place where the blind cricket usually lives, several people were stunned. It was also a big cave, like a huge and magnificent hall, but what surprised the five people was that on the cave wall Densely covered with clusters of fluorescent things.
"That's..." Qian Chao grabbed a handful of yellow paper and illuminated the entire cave before hesitatingly said, "Could it be..."
"Lingshi mine?" Tang Ping couldn't confirm.
"Uh...what?"
Li Jian had already flown up and approached a group of fluorescent things. He also grabbed a piece of luminous yellow paper and took a closer look.
Then several people each held a piece of yellow paper and came over.
"Sure enough..." After confirmation, the five people's faces showed joy.
Sure enough, the fluorescent things on the cave wall were the spirit stone veins.
The so-called spirit stones, as I have said many times before, are formed after an unknown number of years when the jade mines were infiltrated by spiritual veins. It seems that there is a small jade mine here, which is penetrated by the spiritual veins here. And after who knows how long, it has turned from ordinary jade into spiritual stone.
"Hehe!" Lu Pingchuan said happily, "I've made it!"
Looking up at the cave, there are many fluorescent lights. How many spiritual stones must there be in this!
"It's said to be quite fun," Qian Chao said with a smile, "Come on, let me give it a try."
Qian Chao stretched out his hand and slapped a piece of fluorescent spirit stone mine. With a "crash", the fluorescent light scattered and fell all over the ground.
"Eh!" Lu Pingchuan thought Brother Qian had destroyed it and hurried over to take a look. However, after passing by, he discovered that the scattered spiritual stones were actually pieces of crystal clear and regular spirit stones!
"Hey!" Lu Pingchuan was happy. He said "It's fun" and then stretched out his big palm to scatter two pieces. With a "swish" sound, the spirit stones fell all over the floor again.
This attracted several people to try it, and more and more spiritual stones were scattered on the ground.
"How could this happen?" Li Jian asked.
"This is how the spirit stones we use come from. Large pieces of spirit stones fall apart as soon as they are slapped. The ones that are scattered are the ones we usually use." Tang Ping said and took out a piece of spirit stone from her body and picked it up on the ground. Comparing the two pieces together, they are exactly the same.
"What about this piece?" Yanxuan saw that there was a larger piece of spiritual stone on the ground, so he picked it up and showed it to Tang Ping.
"This is……"
Tang Ping held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and then said excitedly after looking at it for a while:
"Oh my God! This is a mid-level spiritual stone! It's much better than the mid-grade and high-grade ones we've ever found!"
