Chapter 1782 Finally Reaching the Goal
Although everyone in the illusion has experienced the process of reaching the back of this crater from the earth, it is completely different to experience it in person, and it is a lonely voyage that lasts for more than ten days.
Even though they were all practitioners, the lonely space voyage still brought them a lot of psychological pressure.
Now that the destination is close at hand, everyone feels a sense of relief.
Of course, Xia Ruofei and others did not completely relax because of this. On the contrary, they became more vigilant, because so far, everything experienced in the illusion has been confirmed on the moon, and if the portal really appears at the final destination, it means that it must be arranged by the practitioners. If they are in a secret realm, there are likely to be various unknown dangers and trials waiting for them.
Therefore, the five golden core monks including Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan all expanded the range of spiritual power perception and raised the alert level to the highest.
As for Ling Qingxue, Yu Xin'er, Mu Jianfei, and Xu Yurou, the four cultivators in the Qi refining period, they did not release their spiritual power—their spiritual power was not strong in the first place, and it would consume too much to release their spiritual power to be alert all the time. up. Moreover, the range of their mental power perception is so small, Xia Ruofei and others must have already noticed if there is any danger, so they naturally don't have to do unnecessary consumption.
Xia Ruofei controlled the Obsidian flying boat to further descend the altitude, and flew directly at a low altitude of about 100 to 200 meters from the moon surface, and constantly adjusted the flight posture as the height of the moon surface fluctuated.
The obsidian airship flew at high speed along the periphery of the huge crater. When Xia Ruofei found a small crater, he immediately controlled the obsidian airship to approach the past, and at the same time continued to increase the flight altitude - this small crater was also a crater when he was experiencing the illusion. An obvious landmark, they climbed from the position of this crater to the top of the crater in the illusion of music, and then went to the valley on the back.
Xia Ruofei controlled the obsidian airship to pass over this small crater. The obsidian airship flew almost close to the ridge, and soon reached the top.
It suddenly opened up before everyone's eyes, and what appeared in front of everyone was a huge crater in the crater, with a diameter of at least ten kilometers, and it seemed unfathomable.
It is conceivable how violent the meteorite impact was when this crater was formed.
The Obsidian flying boat jumped into the sky, and then immediately descended rapidly towards the valley behind the crater.
Because the surface of the moon is a vacuum environment, even though the Obsidian spacecraft is extremely fast, there is no sound of wind at all. Except for the slight sound of electric current in the communication channel, the rest is dead silence.
At this time, the back of the moon is dark night, and the crater formed by the huge crater is even darker, like the mouth of a bloodthirsty monster.
There is an inexplicable pressure in the dead silence.
Xia Ruofei and the others remained calm, and at the same time several Jindan monks also expanded the range of mental power perception to the limit, maintaining a high degree of vigilance at all times.
As for Ling Qingxue and other four monks in the refining period, they also stood on the deck to help check the landmarks, so that they could remind them in time if there was any deviation in the flight path of the Obsidian flying boat.
However, under Xia Ruofei's control, the flight path of the black yao flying boat is very precise, almost completely advancing along the flight path that everyone has experienced in the illusion.
Of course, this is also due to the magical music - as long as everyone has experienced the illusion of music once, everything they have experienced will be deeply engraved in their minds, with every detail clearly and completely impossible to forget.
The obsidian flying boat flew inside the huge crater for about fifteen minutes, and everyone's eyes turned to a position about 50 meters ahead in unison. The speed dropped.
The communication channel was quiet for a moment, and then Xia Ruofei's voice came from everyone's earphones: "We are here!"
"It's not easy!" Chen Xuan said, "Fellow daoists, get ready to go down!"
At this time, the Obsidian Flying Boat had basically hovered, and Xia Ruofei controlled the Flying Boat to slowly lower its altitude until it was about two meters above the ground, and the Obsidian Flying Boat hovered there completely motionless.
Xia Ruofei looked around and said, "We are going to leave the boat and land! Everyone, check your spacesuits again!"
The nine people immediately checked their spacesuits in an orderly manner, and at the same time tested the smoothness of communication again.
After confirming that everything is normal, Xia Ruofei said again: "Next, everyone replaces all the oxygen supply modules of the space suits with new ones, no matter how much they are used, replace them now."
He is also considering that everything below is unknown, and he doesn't know what kind of situation he will face after going down. If it is particularly dangerous at that time, and it is too late to even replace the oxygen supply module, then replace it with a new module now, at least It can last a little longer.
Everyone did what they said and replaced the oxygen supply modules one after another.
For this lunar expedition, in terms of qualifications, Xia Ruofei is definitely not as good as Yang Liu and Shen Tianfang, these veteran Jindan monks, especially Shen Tianfang is still a Jindan mid-stage monk. However, Xia Ruofei made a great contribution to the reason why this expedition was able to take place. Among other things, if he hadn't taken out the Obsidian flying boat, everyone could only look up at the moon on the earth and stare blankly. It may have traveled through the harsh space environment and flew more than 300,000 kilometers to come here. In addition, during the flight, Xia Ruofei also showed strong leadership skills and was very careful, so everyone began to focus on Xia Ruofei faintly.
Although the expedition team did not have a clear captain, Xia Ruofei undoubtedly assumed the role of captain now.
After everyone replaced the oxygen supply module, Xia Ruofei said again: "Let's start landing on the moon now! Brother Chen and I will lead the way. Elder Shen, Elder Yang, and Elder Mu are behind, and the four fellow daoists in the Qi refining period are in the middle. Everyone Do you think this arrangement is okay?"
"No problem!" Chen Xuan was the first to say, "Just do what Brother Xia said!"
When Shen Tianfang saw that the young master agreed, he naturally wouldn't have any opinions, not to mention that he might suffer a loss after the decision. After all, everything below is unknown, so he also said straightforwardly: "Agreed!"
The two Golden Core cultivators of Tianyimen didn't have any objections, and the rest of them naturally had no objections, and everyone expressed their agreement to this arrangement.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan exchanged glances, and then lightly stepped on the deck at the same time, and the figures of the two lightly crossed the side of the ship and fell towards the surface of the moon.
The gravity of the moon is only about one-sixth of that of the earth, and ordinary people can be as light as a swallow on the moon. Anyone who has watched the relevant videos of the Apollo program knows that after the Americans landed on the moon, although they looked very clumsy in bloated spacesuits, they could easily pick out the level of athletes on the earth every time they jumped. So much so that astronauts prefer to jump forward like kangaroos on the surface of the moon.
Ling Qingxue, Mu Jianfei, Yu Xiner, and Xu Yurou followed Xia Ruofei and the others, jumped out of the Obsidian flying boat one after another, and landed lightly on the surface of the moon.
The three of Shen Tianfang didn't delay and left the Black Obsidian Flying Boat very quickly.
Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan landed first.
After the two landed on the surface of the moon, they jumped up to a height of more than one meter, took another step forward by virtue of inertia, and left two pairs of clear footprints on the moon.
Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan stood still, turned around and waited for others.
Looking at the footprints left by her, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I suddenly thought of the famous quote that Armstrong said back then."
"One small step for me, one giant leap for mankind?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm thinking, if humans land on the moon again in the future and come to the crater on the back of the moon, will they be frightened when they see these footprints..."
Because sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, everyone communicated by radio in the communication channel. The chat between Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan was naturally heard by other people clearly.
The elder Mu Hua of the Canglang Gate was jumping off the flying boat with Shen Tianfang and Yang Liu at this time, and just landed on the surface of the moon, leaving behind a pair of footprints.
Mu Hua smiled and said: "The dust on the moon is so thick, the footprints will disappear soon! How can it scare people?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Elder Mu, you don't know about this. On the moon, footprints will not disappear easily. The first time Americans landed on the moon was in 1969, and it has been decades since then. Yes, but the footprints left by Armstrong still exist today, and there is almost no change. If you are interested, when we return, we can go around to visit the other side of the moon!"
The moon is much smaller than the earth, and when the Obsidian spaceship is at its fastest speed, it can circle the moon within an hour, so it is not a particularly troublesome thing to visit the historic footprints in the past. It's just that everyone wants to unravel the ultimate secret of the Rising Dragon Order now, so naturally they don't have the heart to visit.
As soon as Xia Ruofei finished speaking, even Yang Liu, the elder of Feihua Valley, was very interested. She couldn't help asking: "Why is this? Will the footprints freeze?"
Yu Xiner has a series of education experiences in the secular society, and she even got a master's degree, so she naturally doesn't understand some common sense questions. She couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and before Xia Ruofei could speak, she hurriedly explained: "Uncle Liu, there is no air or water on the moon, so there will be no wind or rain on the moon, and no dust on the surface of the moon." Washed by the rain, it will not be blown away by the strong wind, as long as there is no artificial damage, the footprints will never disappear."
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's not so absolute. Occasionally, the moon will vibrate slightly, just like the earthquake on the earth, but the vibration amplitude is very small, basically it will not affect the footprints. In addition, the solar wind and The cosmic particle flow can also cause wear and tear on the surface of the moon, but it takes tens of millions of years to wear a millimeter, so it can be ignored. Therefore, unless the footprints are artificially damaged, or there are meteorites or asteroids hitting the footprints position, it will naturally be destroyed. Of course, the probability of this is too small."
Ling Qingxue couldn't help but give Xia Ruofei a blank look, and said, "Xin'er, this guy is just playing tricks!"
Yu Xiner smiled and said, "But there's nothing wrong with it! It's very logical!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Just kidding! Everyone cheer up! The secret of the token is right in front of us, and it's up to us whether we can solve it or not!"
Shen Tianfang stepped forward and said: "Fellow Daoist Xia, I think the key is the eight light spots that we have all seen before. This should be the key to unlocking the secret and opening the door!"
The few people who landed on the moon today all passed the selection of the music. Everyone experienced that wonderful illusion and clearly remembered that in this valley at that time, a number of light spots were lit up one by one, a total of three times , and then a gourd-shaped musical instrument made of ceramic material appeared, and then the portal appeared. They can even feel the mouth-watering rich aura inside through the portal, and they can also glimpse the fairyland-like beauty.
The most intuitive understanding, of course, is that the eight light spots in the illusion of music are demonstrating to everyone the method of opening the portal of the secret realm, and they have demonstrated it three times in a row.
Xia Ruofei nodded, and said: "My opinion is to use mental power to stab at the positions of the eight light spots according to the order demonstrated in the illusion, and see if there is any reaction."
Mu Hua nodded and said: "Agreed! Let's stand on the periphery first, use mental power to remotely control it, and see if it works, so that if there is any danger, we can avoid it in time!"
Yang Liu and Chen Xuan also agreed, and in this way, the opinions of the five Golden Core cultivators were unified.
Xia Ruofei said: "In order to ensure smooth operation, I suggest that it should be done by one person."
For the golden core stage monks, it is not particularly difficult to test the eight positions with mental power in accordance with the sequence of the illusion demonstration, at least the five present can do it.
Therefore, everyone has no opinion—the cooperation of several people is definitely not as smooth as one person's completion. Since the ability can be achieved, why artificially increase the difficulty?
"Since everyone has no opinion, I'll try it first?" Xia Ruofei said, "If it doesn't work, ask other fellow Taoists to help!"
Shen Tianfang, as the mid-stage golden core monk with the highest cultivation in the expedition team, originally planned to make a move by himself, but Xia Ruofei asked him to try it before he could speak, so it would be hard for Shen Tianfang to refuse, otherwise it would be really It is too offensive.
Shen Tian reassuredly said: It's okay to let him try first, if it doesn't work, I'll do it later.
As for Chen Xuan and others, their cultivation bases are similar to Xia Ruofei's - at least Mu Hua and Yang Liu think so, while Chen Xuan knows that he has been left behind by Xia Ruofei.
So naturally they will not have different opinions.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei adjusted his breath for a while, adjusted his state to the best, and then decisively released eight strands of mental power, and moved towards the position where the light spot appeared in the illusion...
