After leaving the hotel, the three of them gathered together and simply left the city and rushed to the ruins.
Although it was late at night, the three of them rushed to the ruins and still met several groups of cultivators who were searching for the ruins. Fortunately, Shi Chishang's soul mind was so strong that he sensed someone ahead of him every time and took the two of them with him. Get around in time.
On the way, Zhong Wudi also told him some of the things he knew. The ruins were located in the Tarim Basin and had been buried under the desert. Once, Golden Mouse passed by and accidentally discovered the ruins. However, he was weak. There was no strength exploration at all, so I just wrote down the location and came back when I had the opportunity to prepare.
Later, Golden Mouse once explored a tomb in the southwest with some people and was infected by corpse poison. Fortunately, Zhong Wudi gave him an antidote at that time, which temporarily suppressed the corpse poison.
In order to repay his kindness, Golden Mouse told him the news about the ruins. However, Zhong Wudi had just come out for training and did not understand the rules of exploring the ruins, so he delayed his agreement for the time being. He did not realize what he wanted later. He made a drunken mistake and broke the news.
Golden Mouse is a tomb robber in the cultivation world. Although his strength is weak, his eyesight is not low. According to his observations, the history of the ruins is at least more than 1,600 years old. Based on the style of the external architecture, he judged that it should be A relic of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
"Loulan?" Cao Hong asked curiously while sitting by the campfire, "Does he know what treasures there are?"
Shaking his head, Zhong Wudi said calmly: "He just looked outside and didn't dare to go in."
Shi Chishang thought for a while, then suddenly took out his mobile phone to check some information, frowned and said: "That's not right! The ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom should be in the northwest corner of Lop Nur, exactly one south and one north of the Tarim Basin! Even if the Loulan people have ruins , shouldn’t it be located so far away?”
"Whatever!" Cao Hong waved his hand and said with a smile, "There should be some good things in the ruins that are more than a thousand years old! I used to read novels, and there are many legends about the ancient Loulan country!"
"You also said it was a novel," Shi Chishang muttered. Seeing Cao Hong coming over with a glare, he smiled and said, "If I weren't afraid of attracting people, I would really want to go there right now."
"Didn't the golden mouse say that it will take at least two days or so? Let's stay here for now!" Cao Hong yawned, stood up and said, "I'm going to bed first, good night."
"Good night." Shi Chishang replied casually, picked up a branch and made a bonfire. Seeing that Zhong Wudi was still sitting, he laughed and said, "I will keep vigil tonight, you can go and rest first."
"It's okay, I'm used to staying up late," Zhong Wudi smiled faintly, stared at the bonfire, and suddenly asked after a long time, "Brother Shi, you said before that you were from the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, have you ever met Yao Hailei?"
"Do you know him too?" Shi Chishang smiled and shook his head and said, "No, when I joined the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, he had already ascended to the immortal world. To be honest, I really wanted to meet him. He is a legend of a generation. What a character!”
There was a hint of depth in Zhong Wudi's eyes, and he said calmly: "My parents have met him before, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet him. I really want to compete with him and see how powerful this so-called monster is."
Shi Chishang could hear some of it and said with a smile: "It seems that Wudi, you are quite unconvinced by Yao Hailei!"
"No," Zhong Wudi shook his head and said calmly, "I just heard from my parents that this man is a genius. After he came, ahem, he often heard about his deeds after he came out, I was very curious."
Shi Chishang smiled and did not try to expose the other person's thoughts. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. They are also young people with extraordinary talents. It is natural for them to have comparisons and dissatisfaction with each other, which is very normal.
Even Rushichishang himself would occasionally have some strange thoughts about Yao Hailei, and felt that if he practiced for a few years, he might not be able to compete with this person.
"You guys are really noisy!" Cao Hong poked his little head out of the tent and said angrily, "If you want to compete with that Yao Hailei, wait until you ascend in the future!"
Shi Chishang smiled and said: "Haha, it really can't be done. There are so many young masters in the Dragon Group and Dao Sect now, so there is no shortage of opponents."
After making a sound, Cao Hong said lazily: "The current group of people are either a few years younger than Yao Hailei and the others, so they are not of the same generation, or they are the losers of that generation. Even if they win, it will be meaningless."
Shi Chishang raised his sword eyebrows and said in surprise: "No way? I heard Le Wei say that it seems that there were still some young masters in the Taoist and Dragon Groups back then, but they were all practicing in seclusion in the sect and did not come out. That’s all.”
"Oh, that's what Le Wei said," Cao Hong's little face looked dazed and flushed by the bonfire, which was quite cute. "She was talking about people like Daozi and Shengzi, right?"
"Taozi? Holy Son?" Zhong Wudi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are those people?"
Hearing Zhong Wudi's question, Cao Hong suddenly trembled and suddenly woke up. He chuckled and said, "They are all the top figures among the younger generation of the Taoist and Dragon groups."
"Back then, people like 'Monster' Yao Hailei, 'Crazy Sword' Xue Duxiu, 'Sword Hao' Jian Yingkong, 'Tiger Demon' Zhao Xun, and Luo Youlian came out of the blue and almost dominated the limelight. Although the major forces also had Some young disciples were born, but in order to avoid being robbed and perished, they treasured some of the top seed-level disciples and did not let them go out."
"But now, Yao Hailei and the others have either ascended or fallen. There is no one to grab the limelight, and those seed-level disciples have all been born one by one." Cao Hong yawned and said with a smile, "You should have seen the list of people, right? Li Er, Zhufeng, Le Wei and Huang Chenyang. On the surface, only the four of them are at the peak of the ninth level. But secretly, there are countless other seed-level people who have reached the peak of the ninth level. They are just waiting for an opportunity. Will come out to compete for the position of the first person."
"Who are the seed-level disciples you know?" Shi Chishang asked.
"I don't know much," Cao Hong scratched his hair, thought for a long time, and said in deep thought, "Lir and Zhufeng must be. The three major hidden sects probably have one or two seed-level disciples. I don't know the top ten famous mountains in the Taoist sect." I know, but Dunjia, Maoshan, and Longhu sects must all have one."
Holding his five fingers, Zhong Wudi's eyes sparkled, and he solemnly said: "It is my biggest regret not to be able to participate in the great era of that year. I definitely can't miss this competition among the heroes."
"Haha, the same thing," Cao Hong said with a smile, "Now I will wait until I reach the peak of body shaping, and I can integrate the projection of Wei Wu Qinghong into my soul body. When the time comes, I can reach the sky in one step, and maybe I can reach the peak of soul calamity."
"Aren't you afraid that if you step too far, your inner demons will burn you?" Shi Chishang said speechlessly.
Cao Hong sneered and said: "What do you know! The cause of the inner demon tribulation is our obsessions, mental obstacles, and inner demons. Auntie, I am open-minded by nature. I have very few obsessions. I will definitely be able to get through it easily." !”
"Obsession?" Shi Chishang narrowed his eyes and murmured, "What other obsessions do I have?"
Cao Hong said with a smile: "Some obsessions are very obvious and you can feel them yourself, but some obsessions are hidden very deep, almost hidden in the subconscious. Unless you enter the soul tribulation period, you can't understand them clearly. What obsessions do you have?"
"We warriors will also encounter inner demons when we advance to the emperor level," Zhong Wudi said, "but it is not as complicated as your ghost way. Even if you use strength to overcome cleverness, you can suppress the inner demons and break through."
"Are you talking?" Shi Chishang curled his lips, threw a branch into the bonfire, and said with a smile, "Okay! Let's see who among the three of us breaks through to the first level first, how about it?"
"If you lose, please have a meal?" Cao Hong said with a smile.
"Okay!" Shi Chishang patted his pocket and said with a smile, "At least I can afford the food in the human world."
"Stingy guy, drink cold water to stuff your teeth!" Cao Hong muttered.
Zhong Wudi scratched his hair and frowned: "I don't have much money, but it doesn't matter. If I lose, I can just find someone to borrow some."
(I’m afraid it’s not borrowing, but robbing, right?)
Shi Chishang and Cao Hong murmured in unison at the same time.
The three people were chatting, when suddenly a wave of energy rose up from the north, and then a loud noise was heard, and the flames soaring into the sky almost turned the desert for more than ten miles into daylight.
"Where is it?" Cao Hong frowned as he looked at where the flames started.
"It's the direction of the ruins!" Shi Chishang stood up suddenly and whispered, "It seems that someone has discovered the ruins. Go over and take a look."
Several people put away their tents and hurried towards the ruins. In order to avoid attracting people, they deliberately chose a place to rest far away from the ruins. Fortunately, the three of them did not move slowly. In a short time, they had arrived at the ruins. Location.
At this time, a group of people were already standing outside the ruins. Cao Hong glanced at them and frowned: "They are people from Heming Mountain and Qiyun Mountain."
Shi Chishang also saw the figures of Qi Xiaocai, Du Qianqian and Song Yuanlu. He frowned and quickly jumped down the sand dune. He said in a deep voice: "Taoist Master Song, what do you mean?"
Seeing Shi Chi Shang appear, Song Yuanlu looked a little strange, as if he was a little guilty, but before he could speak, someone already said coldly: "It was my idea."
Shi Chishang turned to look at Qi Xiaocai, who had a cold expression on his face and even more coldness in his voice: "There are three cultivating forces here. We, Hemingshan, have persuaded one of them to give up their development rights. As for Qiyunshan, we will join Hemingshan." Mingshan and Mingshan will share the ten spots in the first batch."
According to the previously signed agreement, each exploration site development right can have ten quotas. As for whether the quotas are transferred or used by oneself, no one will interfere.
Shi Chishang's face was gloomy, and Cao Hong had already said angrily: "If we hadn't given you the coordinates, you wouldn't have been able to find us, right?"
Du Qianqian chuckled: "Young lady, you are so angry! But who said we can't find it without your coordinates? It's not hard to find here, right?"
Seeing Shi Chishang staring over, Song Yuanlu lowered his head guiltily. It was obvious that he did not agree with this approach, but this time with Du Qianqian, the only daughter of the headmaster, he obviously could not make the decision.
His eyes narrowed, Shi Chishang nodded, and said calmly: "Very good, in that case, the quota originally given to you will be revoked. After you and I enter the ruins, each can rely on his or her own abilities!"
"Who do you think you are?"
Before Qi Xiaocai and Du Qianqian could speak, a Heming Mountain disciple had already said angrily: "How dare you talk to our Taoist sect like this? Are you seeking death?"
Hearing this, Zhong Wudi's eyes were as cold as cold lightning, and he dashed out dozens of meters in a flash, striking the person who spoke with a palm strike. Qi Xiaocai flicked his sleeves, and his powerful Tao power evolved into a Bagua Seal. He smiled calmly and said: "Brother, you are so evil. Too much..."
There was a loud bang, which suppressed the rest of Qi Xiaocai's words. Zhong Wudi hit the Bagua Seal with his palm. The two powerful forces collided, and a wave of air suddenly burst out, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
With his chest suffocating, Qi Xiaocai looked at Zhong Wudi in shock. He didn't expect that the opponent looked ordinary, but his power was so terrifying when he made a move. However, he reacted quickly, rolled up his big sleeves, and once again condensed the Bagua Seal and waved his hand.
Zhong Wudi did not retreat. He slashed his five fingers into claws, and the claws collided with each other. Another wave of air exploded, forcing everyone in Heming Mountain and Qi Yun Mountain back several steps, while Zhong Wudi and Qi Xiaocai were both stunned. Trembling, they each took a few steps back as if nothing had happened.
Du Qianqian, Song Yuanlu and others watched from the side and their pupils shrank. Looking at the situation, Qi Xiaocai, the number one young man in Heming Mountain, was evenly matched with this mysterious young man. Where did this person come from?
