Chapter 2087: The Shadow of Leaves in the Valley (I)
On the bank of the pond, the three were whispering.
"It will take time to search this valley carefully. In fact, I still think the biggest possibility is at the bottom of the pond, where the situation is most likely to occur.
After all, there are many small wild animals outside. They are running around and may trigger abnormalities. After a long time, is it possible that they have never encountered them?
And here, only the bottom of the pond is the most hidden place, and it is also the place least touched by foreign objects.
With the second ancestor's attainments in formation, he is very good at hiding. The entrances and exits of the formation are often unexpected, so we may still miss it!"
Master Lan said that she had seen the formation in the ruins of the "Soul Prison Clan". The attainments of the second ancestor in formation are certainly not as good as her current ones.
But what was the other party's cultivation at that time, and looking at the second ancestor's formation, the other party is a "strange" word.
This word alone is a great way. In this regard, I can't compare with the other party at all. It's actually a personal talent.
It was also because of this that Master Lan found it difficult to find a breakthrough through normal means, so he thought that there might still be secrets hidden at the bottom of the pool below.
"Now let's search this valley carefully again. This time, we will search on our own. Don't refer to other people's opinions and guide us. We may find something by exploring in our own way.
As for the bottom of the pool, we will consider whether there are other methods later!"
After Elder Hao finished speaking, he flew to the southern hillside, where all kinds of thorns were the most dense and it was also the most covered place here.
Master Lan looked around and flew to the entrance of the valley. She planned to look outside the valley first, and then start from there and explore from the outside to the inside.
Li Yan's expression did not change, but he sighed in his heart. This was where he started his cultivation and the place he least wanted to come, but he still had to come.
And the direction he flew over was the north side of the valley, where the row of stone houses were originally located.
Compared with the first time he was teleported here, it was completely covered with thatch, and the traces of the house foundations that had been left behind had almost disappeared.
Time has taken away the prosperity of this valley, leaving only a desolate place. How many people in the world know about the past here...
After seeing this, Li Yan felt a little sad. It is difficult for him to be emotional now. He has come here in a bloody storm. It is not an exaggeration to say that his hands are stained with blood.
Now he can still be concerned about some people. It is very difficult for him to be moved by external things. But special places will always break through the dust of memory...
When Li Yan flew to the north side of the mountain wall, his consciousness could still vaguely see a trace of the foundation through the dense thatch, but this was because he knew what had been here.
Otherwise, even if Elder Hao and the other two saw this place, they would not be able to see that there had been any buildings here. At this moment, in Li Yan's eyes, all the thatch here had disappeared.
It was as if the row of four large stone houses appeared here again. In front of the stone house, a woman came with a food box and placed it on the stone bench, and then left in a hurry.
In front of the stone house is a flat field of green grass, followed by a clear pond, and further back, there are all kinds of bright and colorful flowers planted by himself.
Those flowers swayed in the wind, and there were all kinds of rich floral fragrances that filled the entire valley. A lot of pollen was scattered on the clothes drying rack...
Li Yan felt a little dazed. In front of him, there even appeared a boy with a childish face, calling Chen An and Li Yin to lead the horses out of the valley...
Li Yan was suspended in the air, and he lowered his head like that, giving others the feeling that he was carefully sensing the bottom!
After a while, Li Yan's eyes suddenly condensed, and he had recovered, and the trace of sadness in his heart was immediately dispelled by him.
He actually knew that he was not missing this valley, but because of the existence of this valley, it aroused the suppressed thoughts in his heart.
Thoughts were revealed layer by layer, from the valley to the house, and then to the people and scenery here. If he thought about it further, he would touch the source of his real sadness.
He missed his parents, his third brother and the others very much, and that was the source of his emotions.
"Are they... okay?"
Li Yan had seen life and death, and had long since become cruel and ruthless, but in his memory there was always a door that kept everything out.
And inside the door was the dim light in the dilapidated old house, and under the light there was the father smoking a pipe, the mother sewing clothes, the brother working hard, and the sister holding her chin.
The dim light spread in the halo of the old house, and it was a warm feeling, spreading on the body of the young boy...
When Li Yan looked up, he saw Elder Hao in the distance, moving slowly close to the ground, searching bit by bit.
And Master Lan's breath was still outside the valley, and he was moving very slowly, also searching inch by inch...
Li Yan then also explored, although he felt that there would be no clues here, but the last clue of the second ancestor pointed to the Desolate Moon Continent.
As Elder Hao said, of course we still have to check with a new mindset, rather than looking at it as the former "little master" of this place.
Starting from noon, the sun slowly moved towards the west mountain, causing the warmth in the valley to dissipate quickly, and the light and shadows also changed from bright to dark...
This valley has long been a deserted valley. Except for some small animals and birds, few people come here.
The former military advisor valley has disappeared in the years, even at the entrance of the valley, there are still a few words carved into the stone.
But it has long been covered with green moss, and few people can notice it anymore.
Li Yan has already gone from the east side to the west side. The east side was just a toilet in the past. After checking there, Li Yan still didn't find anything.
He still felt that except for the pool, the rest of the valley seemed very ordinary and would not bring them any surprises.
Before, Li Yan even searched carefully and repeatedly many times at the foundation of the first stone house in the valley that had disappeared.
That was where the third military advisor lived. That person was also from the lineage of seeking immortals. His origin was the same as the three ancestors. This was also a doubt in Li Yan's mind.
When the third military advisor chose this valley, did he really just see that there was some spiritual energy here, which was suitable for his practice, or did he have other intentions?
Or maybe Master Ji had gotten some clues, which pointed to this valley or some nearby places either obscurely or directly.
But in the nearby area, only this valley had spiritual energy, so he finally chose this place and then explored it with this place as the center?
So Li Yan's focus was to search the first stone house where Master Ji lived. A person would always put important secrets in the place where he could see or touch them most easily.
Of course, all that Li Yan guessed might just be a coincidence, and Master Ji knew nothing about it.
Perhaps the purpose of his coming here was actually because there was spiritual energy here, so that he could practice, and it would be more convenient for him to enter Qingshan Pass, so he chose this place...
The walls here had long disappeared, and Li Yan circled the area defined by the foundation of the house, and his spiritual consciousness went into the underground for a hundred miles to search and identify...
But still no clues were found!
Li Yan then left from the east side of the valley and came to the pool again. At this time, Master Lan also entered the valley.
Elder Hao also searched the entire Nanshan Mountain. At this time, he also arrived at the eastern mountain wall. He didn't care about others and explored the cracks in the rocks...
Li Yan retracted his gaze and looked down at the clear water in front of him again. His boots were standing by the pool. There would be ripples of water waves, spreading out in circles.
Then the ripples would be slightly higher than the edge of the pool, which would touch the tip of Li Yan's toes and wash his boots.
Feeling the cold air emanating from the pool and looking at the spreading circles of ripples, Li Yan couldn't help but look up.
These ripples were not generated by the wind, but by the spring water flowing down the stone wall. After entering the pool, it impacted and spread out.
The water on the stone wall was not rushing, but it was very clear. Two or three streams of spring water flowed slowly from the top of the mountain, soaking the stone wall along the way.
Where the spring water passes, many vine roots have been washed out and exposed, and the roots are constantly swinging day after day with the clear spring water flowing from top to bottom...
There are already lush green mosses on both sides of the water flow. Due to years of erosion, several clear spring grooves have been formed from the top of the mountain.
Li Yan looked at the clear spring grooves, and suddenly his eyes suddenly condensed, and then his whole body involuntarily tightened.
Then he quickly raised his head and looked up along the clear spring grooves washed out by the spring water.
Of course, his eyesight is very good. Even if he doesn't use his spiritual sense, he can see the path where the clear springs flow down. It's just that in certain positions, they will be blocked by branches and leaves.
After just a short while, Li Yan's body suddenly flew up in the air. He followed the path of these clear springs and flew all the way to the top of the mountain...
After just a few dozen breaths, Li Yan's figure flashed and landed on the edge of the pool again. This time, he fixed his eyes on a certain place on the stone wall.
The reason why the spring water flowing down here is said to have two or three streams flowing slowly down from the top of the mountain is that when it flows down from the top of the mountain, most of the places where the spring water passes are one stream.
When it is about three feet away from the pool, it becomes two streams, and when it is still ten feet away from the bottom, it becomes three streams.
This is nothing, because there is no fixed way for the spring water to flow down anywhere.
After all, the route they pass through is some cracks left on the original mountain wall, or some places on the rocks are naturally sunken.
When water flows from top to bottom, it naturally flows to the lower place, and the same is true on the mountain.
They will flow down along those places first, and then as long as the spring water continues, after years of flowing, it will form a so-called water dripping through the stone.
Where the water flows, a water trough will form that is getting bigger and smoother. This is a natural phenomenon of heaven and earth.
