Chapter 511: Dangerous Sea
Camel bells rang loudly, and the caravan walked with difficulty in the vast sea. Looking around, all they could see was the Gobi Desert, with only a few stubborn green spots occasionally visible.
At noon, the sun was shining directly, and the high temperature made people dizzy. Even the best hands felt hot and dry, not to mention the ordinary people who led the camels, so they went around to the back of a few weathered stones for shade.
Amid the gurgling sound of drinking water, many people regained their spirits and chatted idly.
"The evil knife was killed, and I'm afraid we have to change the flag we put up." The leader of the caravan sighed.
They paid a lot of money to get the "protection" of the evil knife, and from then on they didn't have to worry about the invasion of the large group of horse bandits. As for the small team, the guards they hired could solve it. Who knew that the situation suddenly changed and Zeluo Ju was killed alive in the National Master's Mansion!
So, taking advantage of the opportunity that the news had not spread throughout the vast sea, they hurriedly set off not long after Halle lifted the blockade. I'm afraid they would have to change the "flag" at the end of this trip.
Another leader of the caravan said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Although Xie Dao is dead, the crying old man is still alive! He will definitely have someone take over Xie Ling, and our flags will be just as useful!"
The leader who spoke first was relieved a little, and couldn't help but sighed: "Kuang Dao really lives up to his legendary name. He rushed for more than 20 days, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and killed Xie Dao in the safest National Master's Mansion in the entire Hanhai. The first place on the list of the strongest people in history is indeed well-deserved. Maybe in a few years, he will be able to enter the Earth List..."
"Yes, who would have thought that he would ascend to heaven in one step Later, he would attack the vast sea silently, completely unstable! Zeluoju probably didn't expect it! "
"We just heard about the matter of ascending to heaven in one step a few days? Kuangdao actually fought Xiedao tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of God. It was like a dream."
"Perhaps those who have experienced the fourth heavenly tribulation are so tyrannical..."
This matter caused a sensation in Halle. Except for the guards who were on guard against the horse bandits, everyone in the caravan joined in the discussion, spitting and talking, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. They felt that Kuangdao was like a god descending to the earth, suddenly appeared in front of Zeluoju, and attacked him when he was least alert!
But there was one person who didn't join the discussion. He sat under a weathered rock with an indifferent expression and a secret joy in his heart. It was Meng Qi dressed as a sand guest.
He currently had a long sword hanging from his waist, and his temperament was cold and his facial features were above average, unlike Kuangdao.
To kill "Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Sword", you can't use the identity of Kuangdao, and it's better not to use "Yuanshi Tianzun" because "Su Meng" just appeared in the vast sea.
He looked up at the sun and estimated his current location, and found that he was not far from Bo Mi.
Amid the discussion, several sanders turned their heads to look at the weathered rock. As soon as they saw the figure, they felt the sun shining brightly and sprinkled gold.
Squinting their eyes, they saw that the person leaning against the weathered rock was gone. There was nothing there, only the sun.
After escaping by sunlight and going deep into the vast sea for hundreds of miles, Meng Qi stopped and found a hidden weathered ground. He hid in the gap and took out the "trophies" of this time while listening to the gurgling underground river.
Before, Meng Qi stayed in Halle, partly because he wanted to confuse the scope of the crying old man's tracing, and partly because he was hit by Zeluoju's "Netherworld Evil Eye", and his soul was injured, and the Yin Qi entered his bones. The injury was not light, and he needed to rest and recuperate. It took more than 20 days to recover.
If I hadn't trained myself to have two heads and four arms, and had another head to protect me from disasters, no matter how strong my defense was, I would have been seriously injured and unable to escape the evil magic that Zeluoju had hidden in his chest!
Because I was stranded in Halle, I was afraid that there was something in Zeluoju's black bag that the crying old man could sense, so Meng Qi resisted the urge and didn't look through it until today.
The most obvious trophy was Zeluoju's evil knife, which was narrow and strange, with a black color. If you listened quietly, you could hear a shrill wail inside, but it was struck by the most positive and yang sun and thunder, and lost its surface gloomy and vicious meaning, and was damaged.
After looking through the evil knife for a while, Meng Qi put it into the mustard ring, took out the black bag, and opened it.
Instantly, bursts of rosy clouds and yin light were released. If Meng Qi hadn't already aroused the sun's true fire, making the surrounding area brilliant and golden, suppressing the abnormal movement, I'm afraid it could be seen from a long distance.
"This bag seems to be a half-finished space item..." Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully when he saw that the things hidden in the bag exceeded his expectations.
He had sharp eyes and found two items with powerful or strange auras from many colorful things.
One was a dark green and almost black stone, with a human face protruding inside, resentful, hideous, and twisted, with countless lines on it, as if describing the Nine Netherworld. The other was a string of prayer beads made of brown strange wood. There were nine of them, seven of which had lost the faint Buddha light color and looked dim and obscure. The remaining two, one was a light golden glass color, and the other was a deep brown, but with a little starlight.
"These are two secret treasures." Meng Qi was no longer a Wuxia Amon, he was knowledgeable and had a good eye.
The secret treasures in his own world are not as wonderful as those in the Conferred Gods. Most of them are defensive and offensive items made by separating the aura. After carefully identifying them for a while, Meng Qi made a preliminary judgment on the use of these two secret treasures. The dark black ghost stone was made by combining one of the "Eighteen Beats of Wronged Souls" with the Yin Ghost and the Heavenly Treasures. It is used for attack. Judging from the aura, it is at least at the level of the fourth level of the outer scene, which means it has surpassed the power of the first level of the ladder.
"Fortunately, the sneak attack did not give Ze Luoju a chance to breathe. Otherwise, if he took out this secret treasure, I would be the one to escape..." Meng Qi was very satisfied with his strategy.
The rosary beads contain the breath of Buddhism, which is not difficult for Meng Qi, a half-baked monk with the Tathagata Palm. He is basically sure that the nine rosary beads are nine secret treasures. It is unknown which Buddhist monk's items fell into Ze Luoju's hands. Seven of them have been used before. The remaining two are "Guardian Liuli Light" and "Telepathy" that Meng Qi has longed for - various wonderful magical powers need to pass the first level of the ladder to practice, otherwise Meng Qi, who has been suffering from four disasters, will not have them. He can only rely on the sun and stars contained in his own Dharma image to hide his body and escape by starlight.
"Judging from the breath, these two rosary beads are no more powerful than the third level of the outer scene..." Meng Qi smiled and did not disdain at all. He is worthy of being the leader of the horse bandits who has been roaming the vast sea for many years. He can be considered to have made a fortune.
With two secret treasures in hand, Meng Qi has more confidence in his trip to Wuyou Valley.
Apart from them, the remaining items are also extraordinary. There are the dazzling golden Sun God Stone, the core of the meteorite, the earth Wu soil, the essence of the yellow sand, the Taibai real gold, and the ghost Yin iron. They are all natural treasures that can be used to assist in cultivation. Especially the Sun God Stone and the earth Wu soil. After refining them into the true qi, Meng Qi can make one of the Sun Tathagata Sword Technique, the Immovable Golden Lotus and the Jade Void Qingyuan Knife a small perfection, greatly shortening the time spent.
Meng Qi calculated that so many natural treasures must be worth tens of thousands of good deeds, which can make his cultivation speed keep up with the four calamities, and not slow down because of the thin vitality caused by the changes in the external world!
"As expected of the bandit leader who has been roaming the vast sea for many years..." Meng Qi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he almost praised Zeluoju as a good man.
It turned out that he was right to choose to take revenge first!
In the process of transferring the natural treasures and the secret treasures into the mustard ring, Meng Qi suddenly exclaimed lightly, because there were two inconspicuous things mixed in it.
One was a token that was neither gold nor stone, wood nor silk, and it was inscribed with ancient seal script:
"Open upon command."
The other was a brass key, the shape of which was familiar to Meng Qi.
"I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Meng Qi frowned and thought, and suddenly remembered something, and took out a bunch of brass keys from the mustard ring.
This was the key that An Guoxie had on him. Meng Qi and Gu Changqing suspected that this was where the lone thief hid his property. Unfortunately, apart from being able to find the general oasis country from the shape of the key, there was no clue, and Meng Qi had never been free, so he never looked for it.
After carefully selecting for a while, Meng Qi took one from the brass key and placed it next to the key of Zhe Luoju.
Both keys had a gap in the front, as if they had been gnawed by mice. After comparison, they were exactly the same!
"Exactly the same, the key to open the same door..." Meng Qi felt that this key was a bit strange.
Zhe Luoju had one, and An Guoxie had one, which seemed to indicate the extraordinary door it represented.
"The rest of the keys can be sold to Jiu Niang, or used as payment for obtaining information. Anyway, I don't have the time to look for them, and they are probably ordinary gold and silver jewelry, which cannot be exchanged for good deeds. These two keys must be left behind. After the trip to Wuyou Valley, find out which oasis country has the key of this shape..." Meng Qi made a quick decision and put away the things.
…………
Bo Mi, originally a vast oasis in the vast sea, had a powerful country.
But more than a thousand years ago, overnight, the dark red fog appeared out of nowhere and completely enveloped Bo Mi. No one inside escaped and disappeared from the world. At that time, there were many rumors in the Western Regions. Some said that the royal family of Bo Mi discovered an ancient tomb and excavated it secretly. As a result, they somehow dug through the gaps in the Nine Netherworld, so the air of the Netherworld was diffused and the water of the Yellow Springs poured back. Some said that a terrible monster was sealed under the ground of Bo Mi, and someone accidentally broke the seal, allowing its power to leak out and crack the earth...
There are all kinds of speculations. At that time, there were many Dharma masters who went in to explore, but they all returned in vain. Because the dark red fog can block spiritual perception, blind the senses, and blur divination, there are also large canyons and gaps deep underground, with complex landforms and corpses, ghosts, demons, and monsters, so it has become the choice of many vicious criminals or those who are escaping from their enemies. It can be called the most dangerous place in the vast sea, with dragons and snakes mixed together.
The red fog in front is stagnant, and it does not move even when the strong wind blows, swallowing up the wind and sand like a monster
Meng Qi looked at the red mist that was filled with a cold and evil feeling, took a deep breath, grasped the long sword at his waist, and stepped in.
The cold penetrated into the body through the nose and mouth, not only did it not eliminate the refreshing feeling of the hot and dry weather, but it made it difficult to breathe and the pores were blocked.
His eyes were blazing, and he could not see more than 20 feet. His ears moved slightly, and the sound only stopped nearby. He looked up at the sky, and the red mist was everywhere. There was no sun, no moon, no stars, and no clouds. Meng Qi could no longer tell the direction.
He walked slowly forward, waiting for the "mark" - the information given by Xianji contained the details of the secret, and how to contact certain people in it, so as to find Yang Zhenchan, the Eight Desolate Demon Sword.
After about half an hour, the wind whistled, the red mist shook, and a group of people wearing black armor or white robes came out. Their eyes were dull, their skin was withered, and there was a lot of rotten pus. They were all dead!
Meng Qi held his breath and concentrated, without moving, just identifying the location where they walked out.
Woo!
Like crying or horns, the team of people moved forward slowly and sluggishly, without looking around. There was no sound other than the humming sound, not even the sound of armor blades colliding.
Woo woo woo! The team of people went deep into the red fog on the other side, and the chilling and gloomy feeling disappeared immediately.
Meng Qi exhaled and turned to the location where the team of dead people had just walked out.
Apart from the Dharma Master, this is the only way for Bo Mi to determine the east, south, west and north!
The ghost soldiers patrol from east to west!
It is said that these ghosts were the people of the Bomi Kingdom at that time.
