"The truly living Seven Spirit Grass will emit seven colors of light, especially at night, and will be as beautiful as the stars."
"But this Seven Spirit Grass has lost all its aura. Compared with the real Seven Spirit Grass, the aura it contains is probably very different."
"Legend has it that the true Seven Spirit Grass can dissolve all evil poisons, and has the effect of nourishing the body and keeping people young forever. Even a thousand years ago, it was an extremely rare and precious spiritual grass."
"By the way, this place is originally a place of evil spirits, but there is such a seven-spirit grass that is specially designed to overcome the evil spirits. It can only be said that the creation of heaven and earth is so strange that it makes people feel worried."
While talking, Li Zhixia stood up.
"Second brother, please pick this Seven Spirit Grass. Although it is not a real living Seven Spirit Grass, it is still a rare thing today when the Dao is becoming more and more obscure. Moreover, this thing is originally in line with the path you cultivate. Just now you were able to see it one step earlier than my teacher, it was an incredible opportunity."
"From now on, if you carry this grass close to your body, it should be of great benefit to your progress in Taoism."
"This may be the last Seven Spirit Grass in the world, please cherish it."
At this time, Shu Guan also happened to come over. Hearing Li Zhixia's last words, he said casually:
"No, there are quite a lot of this grass in the mountains. The girls in our village like to pound it into juice and apply it on their faces."
Li Zhixia and Mu Yao were shocked. They looked at Shu Guan in disbelief and asked in unison:
"Can you see the Seven Spirit Grass?"
Spiritual grasses like this can only be seen by practitioners who possess spiritual energy. Ordinary people cannot detect their existence with the naked eye. However, this young man from a mountain village has no sense of spiritual energy in his body. How could he see the Seven Spiritual Grasses?
Shu Guan was startled for a moment.
Why is this problem happening again?
He remembered that Professor Holt had asked him a similar question two days ago, and Shu Guan's answer at that time was that there was no colorful grass.
So how should I answer this time?
Is the answer visible or invisible?
Li Zhixia and Mu Yao both looked at him with burning eyes.
Shu Guan hesitated for a moment, and the scene when he first met these two people flashed through his mind, and everything he saw in the Good Samaritan Temple flashed through his mind. Then he pointed to another ancient tree not far away and said:
"Of course I can see it. Isn't there another one there?"
Li Zhixia and Mu Yao turned around and saw that in another patch of grass in front of them, there was another Seven Spirit Grass, which they had thought was a rare sight, swaying in the wind.
"But we don't call it Seven Spirit Grass here, but Colorful Grass."
Shu Guan said again with a smile.
Li Zhixia suddenly turned her head and said:
"You mean everyone in your village can see this Seven Spirit Grass?"
"That's not true. Only my grandfather could see it before, but then I could see it. The colorful grass used by the villagers was picked by my grandfather and me."
"Your grandfather? Where are the others? Are they in the village?"
"No, he died not long ago."
A trace of sadness flashed in Shu Guan's eyes.
Li Zhixia and Mu Yao looked at each other, then looked deeply at Shu Guan again, and said thoughtfully:
"It turns out he is a naturally psychic person... no wonder."
…
The group of four continued up the mountain and soon came to the most difficult cliff path.
"After walking through this cliff path, there is a cave on the opposite side. After passing this cave, you will find the gym."
Shu Guan pointed to the cliff in front and said to Li Zhixia and Mu Yao.
Then he grabbed a vine and prepared to step onto the cliff path first. At this moment, the round-faced young Taoist priest Mu Yao suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"Little layman, please wait."
Shu Guan let go of the vine in confusion, and then Mu Yao took a deep breath, made a few strange gestures with his hands in front of his chest, and then stepped forward, holding the vine that Shu Guan had just grabbed with both hands. Teng Man.
If you want to talk about it first...
Shu Guangang muttered to himself, and the next moment, he saw a magical scene.
The vine held in Mu Yao's hand seemed to suddenly come to life. It twisted and raised like a spiritual snake, wrapping around another vine in front of it.
Immediately afterwards, the vine moved on its own and wrapped around another vine in front of it.
Shu Guan stared blankly at the vines on the cliff, like dominoes that had been knocked over, entangled one by one.
About a few minutes later, a vine bridge made of countless vines intertwined and woven by itself appeared on the cliff path.
"Okay, we can go there."
Mu Yao smiled slightly at Shu Guan, and then stepped onto the vine bridge first.
...Well, this is indeed a magical world with a group of magical people.
Shu Guan came to his senses and silently followed Mu Yao onto the vine bridge.
To be honest, Shu Guan was a little frightened along the way.
Although he is not afraid of heights, the mountain wind is howling and the vine bridge is swaying between the cliffs. Through the gaps between the vines, he can clearly see the cliffs at his feet, just like those glass planks he walked in the scenic spots in his previous life. It's not as safe as before when he grabbed Teng Man and stepped on the rocks to cross the cliff.
However, when Shu Guan stepped onto the flat ground in front of the cave opposite, the vine bridge did not suddenly fall apart as he had worried all the way.
…
Li Zhixia's footsteps stopped in front of a huge stalactite.
He lowered his head and stared at the pool of milky white stalactite liquid in front of his feet. There was no corpse of any small animal lying next to the pool of milky stalactite liquid, but Li Zhixia still shook her head with some regret.
"Ten thousand-year stalactite liquid is of great benefit to the cultivation of practitioners. It is difficult to find such a treasure of heaven and earth now, what a pity!"
"Master, what's the pity?"
"These cliffs have been forged into the Five Evil Soul Array, and these ten thousand-year-old stalactites have long been infected by the evil spirit. Therefore, taking them is not only useless, but will increase the risk of cultivators going crazy. As for ordinary If a creature drinks it by mistake, it will die suddenly on the spot.”
"...Hmm, but you can take some back. The fourth child may be useful."
As she said that, Li Zhixia reached out and grabbed the stalactite liquid on the ground. The stalactite liquid on the ground floated up as if attracted by something, and then quickly condensed into an ice-like ball the size of a fist.
Li Zhixia waved her sleeves and put the ice crystal ball into her sleeves.
Shu watched this scene, already a little surprised.
It was just the words Li Zhixia said just now that made his heart move.
He had walked through this cave many times. When he came to this cave for the first time, he felt that everything in the cave was strange and inexplicable, which made him have some doubts about the world he had traveled to.
I took Holt and the others around again a few days ago, and listening to Holt's explanation to the others, I was able to clear up some of their doubts.
But today, following these two Taoist priests, maybe we can get the answers to these things.
"Let's keep walking."
After putting away the ice wafer ball, Li Zhixia waved her hand and continued walking deeper into the cave.
…
Soon, Li Zhixia stopped again.
Shu Guan was not surprised, because Li Zhixia stopped right in front of the nine-headed bird fossil on the roadside.
This time, Li Zhixia stayed in front of the bird fossil for longer than imagined.
He seemed to be thinking hard and remembering something, and then his face gradually turned pale. Finally, Li Zhixia uttered two words:
"Ghost car!"
"Ghost car? Master, is this the name of this strange exotic bird?"
"Yes, the Ghost Car Bird is a powerful and terrifying demon bird in ancient times. It is said to be the descendant of Jiufeng. However, since the Third Yuanhui, the Ghost Car Bird has become extinct in the world. This kind of demon bird is known as other demon birds. It feeds on the souls of living beings. Although it is a descendant of the divine bird Nine Phoenix, it is the most sinister and evil bird in the world."
"No wonder, that person chose to set up the Five Evil Soul Array here! Before the Third Yuanhui, this place must have been the nest of the ghost chariot bird. Countless years later, it still retains the aura of those ancient demon birds. For this place, For the Wu Sha Jue Soul Array, which is used to absorb people's souls, it is naturally the best place to set up the formation, which can greatly enhance the power of the Five Sha Jue Soul Array."
"However, according to the records in the classics, the body of the ghost car bird is extremely huge. The wingspan of an adult ghost car bird is a hundred feet long. The remains of the ghost car bird in front of you should be a juvenile bird that is not yet mature."
…
The four of them continued to move forward. Along the way, Li Zhixia would not take a closer look at the fossils on the cave wall. Some of them he could identify immediately, while others could only be identified after a little thought, but there were also some that were... Even Li Zhixia couldn't tell what it was.
"This is the fruit of the tree. The existence of this strange fruit is older than the age of the Seven Spirit Grass. It is said that after eating this strange fruit, a person's body can be stronger than gold and iron."
"This remains with two legs missing should be a tiger-headed sheep, a ferocious beast with a cruel temperament, a creature from the Third Yuanhui and Fourth Yuanhui eras."
"Well, what is this? Only half of the body is left, but it has three tails and its hind claws look like a raccoon cat. Could it be a raccoon beast? This thing occasionally appeared in the world thousands of years ago."
There was bright light coming in from the front, and the long cave was finally coming to an end.
Li Zhixia looked back at the distance she had just walked, with a little satisfaction and fascination in her eyes.
Walking through this cave feels like walking through a long period of time.
Many, many years ago, this mountain range should have been a place where all living things competed with spirits, and there were countless legendary spiritual creatures living there.
It was also an era when the avenue was prosperous and everyone was like a dragon.
It's a pity to be immortal, but you can expect eternal life.
It's a pity that I was not born in that era!
Finally, Li Zhixia stopped in front of the huge footprints at the entrance of the cave, lowered her head for a moment, and smiled faintly.
