Finally, the day came when the big tide in Hanquan Valley was approaching.
In fact, in the past half month or even earlier, the Qi Refining disciples in the sect have begun to talk about it. Many people have boasted that the situation on the day of the big tide in the past, regardless of whether they have seen it or not, is so miraculous that they have never seen it in the sea. The ferocity of the strange monsters in the past, as well as the gathering momentum of the monsters and birds swarming on the land, are vividly depicted, and the dangers and dangers described are heart-stopping, and it also makes it possible to obtain what can be achieved that day. The treasures are said to be very popular, making people jealous and full of admiration.
Many disciples and friends began to agree that they would go to Yunyun together on that day.
Even a person who has always been a loner can't help but make up his mind to go alone or find a few trustworthy people to go with him.
In fact, those who are truly experienced have already set out while these people are still talking endlessly.
Those people left even earlier than Qian Chao and the other five people. Of course, they did not go straight to Hanquan Valley after leaving the sect, but they went out normally. They picked the right time, turned around outside and went directly. It is naturally much faster than rushing over from the sect.
Others went there after Qian Chao and the others left, which was just a day or two later than Qian Chao and the others.
These people all know that in Hanquan Valley, the most important thing is to find a good foothold on a big tide day. If you go too late, the people standing around Hanquan Valley will be either other monks or groups of people gathered together. The ferocious monster, if you want to find a good place, you have to follow the monster to rob it.
The day before the big tide, five people, Luo Ying and Yan Shuang, left the sect. However, there were more than five of them, and they were accompanied by several people, including Ma Hu, the Fang sisters, Gu Yuan and Cui Yin. These five people were recruited by Fan Yi with the purpose of protecting Yan Shuang during this great tide. In addition, Fan Yan himself had already arrived at Hanquan Valley with his people. He was also worried that someone might do anything during this tide, so he went there in advance and took a look there first to feel at ease.
When someone goes out, someone will see them, and then they will naturally tell others. There are many people going out these days, and most of them go to Hanquan Valley. Knowing that there are more people going out, the people behind will wake up like a dream. , only to realize that he had lost his good position because he went late, so more Five Spirit disciples left the sect together. From this point of view, this year's big wave of Five Spirit disciples gathered there more than before. It's much earlier.
Qian Chao and the other five arrived at Hanquan Valley three days in advance. Then, Qian Chao spent two days here to arrange all his arrangements, and he did not forget to check them carefully.
The first people the five of them met here was Fan Yan and others.
"Junior sister Tang, you guys came really early!"
Fan Yi was very surprised when he saw Tang Ping and others. He thought that he and the others would be the first to arrive here, but he did not expect that Tang Ping and the five little guys would arrive so early.
"There is no way," Tang Ping said, "The stupid bird has to fly first. We are late. There is no place for us here. We can only have a place if we come early."
Fan Yi nodded. Naturally, he had asked about the cold spring valley tide in advance. Although he was sure that these five little guys must be participating in the cold spring valley tide for the first time, looking at the positions occupied by these five people, it seemed that they were The best, it seems that these five little guys have made some preparations in advance, and then said:
"This tide is both lively and dangerous, Junior Sister Tang, junior brothers and sisters, if you feel that something is not safe at that time, please don't show off."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Fan, we understand. By the way, this is the place we are looking for, but it is impossible for a few of us to occupy it all. When the time comes, Senior Brother Fan can come together and let's try our luck here. "
"good."
After finishing speaking, Fan Yi saw three people flying here. They seemed to know each other, so he hurriedly went up to talk to them.
"It seems that we have met those three people in Ruixuan Town. Well, that woman seems to be a swordsman." Li Jian glanced at the three people talking to Fan Yi. Among them, the woman was tall and pretty, and her whole temperament was... Like a sword.
"They..." Tang Ping also found out a lot of things after returning from Ruixuan Town. Knowing that the few people who had recently returned from the sect had some connections, she guessed, "That woman's name should be Bao Xian, indeed. He's your sword cultivator from Mu Xiufeng. He seems to be a disciple of Senior Ouyang. Hey, Brother Lu, look at that big guy, the one with a similar build to you. That person's name should be Ruan Tian. He's an individual cultivator. But it doesn’t seem to be pure physical training, he also knows some fire control skills from Qixia Mountain, and it is said that he is the first person to combine physical training with fire control skills, which is very powerful.”
"Oh," Lu Pingchuan turned around and looked over, and sure enough he saw a big man. "Well, my master seems to have talked about this person, but he said that this method is a bit complicated and impure, and he is not allowed to do it." How about learning any other sect’s methods? Hehe, I’m actually too lazy to learn them.”
"The other man should be Song Zhen," Qian Chao said, "I heard that this man's spiritual roots are very special, a rare dual spiritual root of water and fire. Not only did he become a disciple of an elder from Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley, , and also learned the authentic fire control technique from a senior in Qixia Mountain, I heard that this person’s method is very clever.”
As the people were talking, they saw that the three people had no intention of coming to Hanquan Valley after talking to Fan Yi. They turned around and walked away without knowing where they were heading. Then Fan Yi also took the people away. .
Five Spirit disciples arrived one after another from behind.
Some people seem to have their goals already, and they don't stop when they get here, but just go in one direction. Some people were flying around, seeming to be looking for a nice place. Others, seeing that Qian Chao and the other five occupied a good position, became interested.
Those guys were more numerous than Qian Chao and the others, and their cultivation levels were all high-level. Therefore, when they saw five mid-level monks in a nice place, someone came over and said politely:
"Hey, you five go to other places, leave this place to us."
The person who came with him spoke arrogantly when he came down. Following his words, the people who came with him also came down with evil expressions, eight or nine of them looked like they were there.
"What, are these senior brothers trying to drive us away?" Tang Ping looked at these people with some fun.
Qian Chao personally selected this place and made some decorations. Wouldn't it be a joke to ask Qian Chao and others to get out of the way?
Li Jian took a step forward, and the boy opposite him felt a sudden light, and he saw that Li Jian was already holding a blazing white spiritual sword in his hands.
Lu Pingchuan had a sneer on his face, and with a loud "bang", he hit one of his big fists on the palm of his other hand and looked at the visitor with evil intentions.
Qian Chao didn't know when he released more than a dozen talismans, and the yellow light flashed into a flock of birds and swirled around his body, making people feel dangerous and dazzled.
Yanxuan was still standing next to Tang Ping, but his two white and tender hands were already filled with flames and a heat wave!
Nowadays, Qian Chao and the five people look at these guys as if they have seen a joke!
"Are you going to drive us away?" Tang Ping asked again when she saw that the guy stayed there for a while and didn't answer.
Then someone hurriedly came to the man's side and whispered for a while. The boy looked obviously panicked, but he still suppressed it forcefully.
"Forget it, since you were the ones who came here first, I'll let you go and let's go look elsewhere."
After saying that, those people left in a hurry.
"It's boring!" Lu Pingchuan muttered, "I thought I could stretch my muscles."
"Who are you trying to scare?"
As soon as those people left, the five people heard this sentence again.
Turning around, he saw Luo Ying and his party falling down.
"Senior Sister Luo" Qian Chao hurried forward to say hello.
"Why are we driving people away when this place is so big?" Luo Ying actually understood what was going on, but she just asked this deliberately.
"It's not big here, it's only big enough for the five of us!" Tang Ping immediately said.
"Ha, I think this place is big enough. Why don't we stay here? This is the place chosen by Mr. Qian. I think we will gain a lot here tomorrow."
Tang Ping and Luo Ying were still the same, they couldn't help but talk a few words when they met.
"Okay," Lu Shuang came over and said to Tang Ping, "On this day of great tide, the more people there are and the more united their hearts are, the greater the harvest will be. Don't keep pouting, why... why don't you do it if we stay?" Are you happy?"
Tang Ping quietly made a face at Luo Ying, making Lu Shuang smile, and then she gave up.
In the last incident when Yan Shuang was attacked, the people above had fought side by side. Naturally, when they met again, they all became somewhat affectionate and greeted each other, especially Lu Pingchuan. Unexpectedly, this time It was such a joy to be with the two senior sisters Fang again. Just like Ma Hu had been hanging around Yan Shuang, Lu Pingchuan also shamelessly walked around Fang Yang and Fang Han, provoking them. The two women were so annoyed that they kicked him out with fists.
"When will this big tide start?" Yan Shuang asked Luo Ying beside him.
"I know, hehe, it starts at the end of the morning or the beginning of the morning..."
Ma Hu, who had been beside him, immediately spoke up, but it caused Luo Ying to roll his eyes.
"Can you stay away from us!" Luo Ying said with wide eyes.
"Hey." Ma Hu didn't dare to offend her and went to talk to Qian Chao.
"It turns out it's early tomorrow morning." Yan Shuang said.
"Well, the water will rise down here tomorrow, and it will rise very high."
…
Tomorrow is the tide.
More and more people are coming one after another, one group after another, it can be regarded as an endless stream. From time to time in the air, you can see several monks coming together, and naturally there are many five people who know each other among them. Their faces, such as Qian Chao, recognized many of the senior brothers who frequented Chengqi Hall among the later generations, and Yanxuan also recognized some who were often seen in Nanyu Hall.
Well, Qian Chao also discovered that Cheng Quntang was alone with the woman named Mei Qing. But later Yanxuan's sharp eyes saw Senior Sister Min and Senior Brother Xiao together, although not with Cheng Qantang. But the direction that Senior Sister Min and Senior Brother Xiao were flying was also the direction that Cheng Qantang had just flown in.
It has to be said that the location Qian Chao was looking for should be the best location. Many people took a look there after they arrived. It’s not that no one wanted to make a decision. If there were only Qian Chao and five people there, the conflict might have happened long ago, but With Luo Ying and others here, fifteen or six people gathered together. Those people gave up the idea after just one glance, and then went to find the positions they could like.
In a blink of an eye, the sun sets in the west, the cool breeze gradually begins to rise, and then the twilight becomes heavy, and then night falls.
At night, the area around Hanquan Valley is extremely lively. Piles of bonfires extend along the outline of Hanquan Valley. There are several people chatting or drinking beside each bonfire.
Qian Chao's place was naturally no exception. After Fan Yan settled in, he also came to the place where Qian Chao was.
Under several large fires, people sat together, taking out wine or food, sharing and talking about some strange things, which was quite interesting.
Ma Hu, in particular, told a few things about the gangsterism between him and those casual cultivators. His words were thrilling and vivid, which attracted everyone to listen in rapt attention.
Lu Pingchuan was still sleepy during this period. As soon as he snored for the first time while lying there, Fang Yang and Fang Han slapped him awake...
The moon moved and the stars moved, and the time passed quickly. Now everyone knew that the big tide was today.
The new things had been talked about long ago, and the people sitting around the campfire had lost interest in talking, and began to meditate with their eyes closed, quietly waiting for the big tide to happen.
…
Finally, the first one to open his eyes was Li Jian.
He clearly noticed something strange happening around him, which was a kind of fluctuation that could not be detected by others.
You can't see or hear it, but you can feel it, because it is the fluctuation caused by the talisman, which comes one after another from a place not near, and Li Jian remembers them all in his heart.
At this time, the sky was already bright, but the sun had not risen. The Hanquan Valley in the early morning was still filled with a chilly atmosphere that had never been seen before.
Noticing Qian Chao's gaze, Li Jian nodded and said, "The talisman you arranged has been triggered."
Then Li Jian told Qian Chao some places.
Coming here three days in advance, Qian Chao wanted to judge how the spiritual veins near Hanquan Valley would change on the day of the spring tide, so he arranged some talismans that would cause spiritual energy fluctuations due to changes in the spiritual veins. The triggering of these talismans, Qian Chao It is impossible to sense it, but Li Jian can, and based on the different spiritual energy fluctuations caused by those talismans, Li Jian can judge that the talisman there has been triggered, and then inform Qian Chao, so that Qian Chao can infer the nearby Which spiritual veins have changed and how, and which ones have not changed.
"Oh I see."
Qian Chao had a big map unfolding in his heart, and the changes in the spiritual veins were displayed one by one before his eyes.
"Has it started?" Tang Ping also asked beside him.
"here we go."
"Where did it start? There is no movement." Luo Ying heard Qian Chao's words and looked around and found that the sky was still a little dark, but nothing unusual happened.
"Look, heaven!" Qian Chao pointed.
Sure enough, above the cold spring valley, there were already many birds circling high in the extremely blue sky, and from time to time, groups of birds flew over to join them.
"Here they come!" Li Jian suddenly said, "There are so many monsters!"
If you listen carefully, you can vaguely make out the sound of hoofbeats.
Then, in the Cold Spring Valley, from those large and small sea eyes, there was suddenly a long and long low roar!
This startled all the Qi Refining disciples gathered near Hanquan Valley, and they all stood up and looked towards the bottom of the valley.
Suddenly there was a "crash" sound, and a thick silver-white water droplet with a radius of several feet rushed up to a height of dozens of feet, went straight up, and then turned into countless white water droplets at the highest point and scattered. Those water droplets drifted in the wind. The cold breath spread wider, and then several water columns of different sizes also rushed up, and the sound of "squeaking" became more intensive. It was almost like a heavy rain coming so close!
At the bottom of the valley, sea eyes of different sizes began to roar. The sound was obviously very far away, but it came very fast!
"I asked why those birds fly so high. It turns out they are afraid of being washed down by the water." Lu Pingchuan said, raising his head.
Just when people were attracted by the strange phenomenon at the bottom of the valley, suddenly from all around Hanquan Valley, a burst of whistling sounds came from far and near, and at the same time, a fishy smell also gathered over!
Everyone around them looked at the direction of the sound with great vigilance. If the monster comes over, it may take action if it continues to stay here!
"It's a monster. Don't worry. I have arrangements nearby. They won't come here." Qian Chao said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several exclamations and roars in the distance. It must be that the monks who had found a place in the distance were driven away by groups of monsters.
The ground began to tremble slightly, the pebbles on the ground were bounced up, and the leaves on the trees were also shaken. Smoke and dust were rising in the surrounding mountains and forests, and the sounds of "rumbling, rumbling" were heard endlessly, one after another. A black torrent of demonic beasts gathered together and galloped forward with their hooves spread out. Among the monsters, the larger ones were almost as tall as the treetops, and they knocked away the trees and rocks that blocked the road without a care in the world. The smaller ones followed closely behind, and some swung between the treetops with their arms. They swung to climb up, and their speed was extremely fast. Then they appeared on the edge of Hanquan Valley and spread out to occupy a lot of places. Qian Chao and the other five also saw a group of black monsters like a turbid current. This forced a group of monks to fly up and find another place to stay.
"Hey, good guy, there are so many, why don't you see them usually?" Lu Pingchuan was very happy to see them, but he was immediately glared at by Fang Yang and Fang Han, asking him to pay attention.
What Qian Chao said was indeed true, and his arrangement was indeed effective. There were an unknown number of various monsters rushing toward their direction with great force. A dozen of them alone could not stop them, but the beasts were hundreds of miles away from them. Ten feet away, they turned in one direction, and the team rushed straight towards another place where a dozen monks gathered. When they rushed past, the ground trembled and undulated, and everyone around them looked frightened. , but those monster beasts turned a blind eye to them. Only the direction in which the monster beasts rushed towards made those unlucky guys roar in shock, but so many monster beasts would not attack them unless their heads were broken. Don't fly and go somewhere else.
"Yes, Mr. Qian!" Luo Ying praised. At first she didn't believe it when Qian Chao said there was an arrangement, but now she is convinced of this guy's methods.
The appearance of the beast herd forced the Qi Refining disciples who came in advance to redistribute the places occupied by each other. Many people were forced to stand together with others. After all, only with more people can we drive away the approaching monster beasts. .
There was a loud "boom", and the mountains under my feet seemed to tremble, and then a long roar like a bull's roar came out from the large and small sea eyes, and then I saw the thickest strip of bright white water. The pillar suddenly rose into the sky, causing large and small sea eyes in the valley to spurt out water columns of varying thicknesses. Even from a distance, one could feel the cold water vapor emanating from there.
The great tide in Cold Spring Valley has finally begun!
