Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 399: Disaster From the Sky
After walking like this for a day, the sky became much dimmer, but it didn't stop the people in front from picking the spiritual herbs in the mountains. Hong Ling's laughter could be heard from time to time, and it seemed that this trip was fruitful. Lin Yi, who was walking alone at the end, naturally got nothing. But he was still the same, walking slowly.
"Lin Lin Yi, you might as well walk in front, maybe you can also gain something." Mu Tianyuan had been walking in front of Lin Yi, and after sharing a few spiritual herbs with Nian Si, he slowed down. For some reason, he suddenly turned back to talk to her. After saying something inexplicable, his face was a little embarrassed.
Looking at Mu Tianyuan's back with a little surprise, Lin Yi said: "Thank you, Brother Tianyuan! The spiritual things of heaven and earth are for those with virtue. It's better to be casual!"
Nodding secretly, Mu Tianyuan's expression was much more relaxed, and he asked for something to talk about: "Several seniors could have flown with swords, but why did you accompany us so hard? Do you know the reason?"
"This mountain is called "Four Poles", the movement of the sun and the moon, the way of the four poles. This mountain means that the sun and the moon travel around the four directions, taking the external balance and returning. And Yun means Zhou; Ji means to reach. The Zhouji land must be not conducive to flying with a sword, and there are unpredictable dangers."
Lin Yi, who talked eloquently, did not know much, but the detailed records in the fairyland map in his hand. Therefore, he already knew the reason, and when Mu Tianyuan asked this question, he said it casually.
"Oh! This explanation is quite innovative! I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable!" Mu Tianyuan has been arrogant for a long time, and now he couldn't help but admire it. He thought he knew a lot about everything in Xuantian Fairyland. This is thanks to the collection of the Mu family over the years and the oral teachings of the elders of Zhengyang Sect. But what Lin Yi just said was obviously that he knew a lot about this fairyland, which was surprising.
His pace slowed down again, and he was closer to Lin Yi. Mu Tianyuan pointed to the mountain in the distance and said: "The classics say that the golden dragon walks through the four poles, and the Xuanming Realm is in the middle of the sky. This is what is said about the strangeness of this "Four Pole Mountain". According to legend, there are not only restrictions on the high places of this mountain, but also dragons entrenched on the top of the peak. Not to mention the predecessors of the foundation building, even the Golden Pill Patriarch would not dare to fly from here easily!"
"Thank you for your advice, Brother Tianyuan!" Lin Yi said politely and thought to himself.
Sensing the movement behind him, Wan Ziping turned around. Seeing the two people behind him talking, his face fell. Mu Tianyuan then kept silent and nodded at him as if nothing had happened, but the other party snorted in dissatisfaction.
"The ancestor of the family has passed down the order that our Mu family will not ask about the grievances between you and the Wan family. Wan Ziping is not to be feared, but behind him is the entire Wan family!" Mu Tianyuan continued, but changed to voice transmission.
The entire Wan family? Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth, and a hint of coldness appeared in his expression.
"In addition, ** has no other clansmen in the sect. However, Pavilion Master Wei has a deep friendship with the Zheng family, you..." At this point, Mu Tianyuan closed his mouth, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he showed goodwill to Lin Yi with an inexplicable thought, he was also in trouble when he thought of Wei Cong, the Jindan ancestor. Why would a Qi training cultivator offend so many people?
"Haha!" Lin Yi just smiled noncommittally, but stopped and looked up--
In the dim sky, a sword rainbow suddenly flashed, like a meteor across the sky, extremely eye-catching. This must be some impatient monk flying on a sword, but the next scene was stunned. I saw a few black shadows suddenly jumped out from a high peak connected to the sky, as fast as lightning, and rushed straight to the monk.
"Damn it, be careful!"
Before seeing the end of the monk, the prisoner in front suddenly shouted. Lin Yi turned his head and looked, his expression changed, and he hurriedly summoned the flying sword in his hand, and hid under the big rock beside him.
"Boom--"
As if the wind and thunder were pouring down, a rumbling whistle came from the sky. Following them were three monsters four or five feet long, like snakes but not snakes, like dragons but not dragons, stomping on all fours, with wings on their backs, and rushing towards the eight people in the mountain path.
With a "bang", the big rock where he was hiding was half lifted off, and the monster soared into the sky amid the flying rubble. Lin Yi did not dare to neglect it and rushed to another big rock not far away.
With the sound of "bang, bang", two more big rocks were smashed into pieces. In the rain of stones, the figures of Nian Qiu and Wu Qi rushed out, hurriedly avoiding the attack of the monster.
There were many strange rocks of various shapes on both sides of the mountain path. When the strange changes happened, these big rocks just became the hiding place for the eight people of Zhengyang Sect. Lin Yi, who had just escaped a disaster, curled up under an inconspicuous rock and looked up--
The people in front were all in a terrible state, some lying down, some kneeling, and leaning against the rocks. They looked very embarrassed, and Nian Qiu and Wu Qi were even worse.
"Bah! It's all caused by that man flying the sword, and it's causing us so much trouble!" Wu Qi's sturdy body seemed very flexible at this time. While dodging with the stones around him, he didn't forget to complain.
"This monster is as powerful as a Jindan cultivator. It's hard today!" Nian Qiu's eyes twitched and his expression became ferocious.
"Hong Ling, hide your body and don't be careless!" Seeing the apprentice not far away panicking, Yu Luoyi shouted worriedly, and raised her voice again, saying: "It moves like wind and thunder, and moves like a beast! This is an ancient snake beast. It is said that this beast will turn into a dragon in a thousand years and a dragon in ten thousand years!"
"How can such an ugly thing look like a dragon?" Nian Qiu shouted loudly.
"It must be because of the collapse of the fairyland that these snake beasts have become such monsters that look like dragons but are not dragons!" Yu Luoyi said loudly, "They are coming again--"
At this time, there were constant sounds of wind and thunder in the sky, and at least dozens of black shadows were running around. The three snake beasts just now had identified the people from the Zhengyang Sect. After diving and jumping up, they rushed down again with their fangs and claws bared.
This is not the golden dragon walking through the four poles as Mu Tianyuan said, this is clearly a monster rampant! Lin Yi secretly complained, but he was helpless. There is not only one way to go to Xuantian Realm, Xuanming Hall, but after entering this Xuanming Hall, this Siji Mountain is the only way. As long as you follow the rules and climb the mountain honestly, there is no great risk. Who would have thought that these snake beasts would be alarmed!
The thunder of "boom--" came from far to near, and three black shadows came roaring with the power of wind and thunder. Everyone was very careful, not daring to breathe, but saw a snake beast running straight towards Hong Ling's hiding place.
"Ah--" Unable to bear the fear in her heart, Hong Ling screamed, raised her hand to sacrifice the flying sword, stood up and ran.
"Don't move--" Yu Luoyi was shocked. With the help of the rocks and terrain, she could still deal with the snake beast, but if it came to running, even the flying sword would be unable to match the speed of these monsters. Hong Ling was so flustered, wasn't she courting death!
With a "dang--" sound, the flying sword was knocked away.
With a "bang--" sound, the big rock where Hong Ling had just hidden was crushed into powder.
Hong Ling, who was wearing a purple skirt, had no time to look back, and no time to hide again. Her graceful figure was like a faint purple smoke, passing through the rugged rocks. But the snake beast was even faster, so fast that people could not dodge. Amidst the flying sand and rocks, a shrill scream rang out--
"Ah, Master, save me!" The scream stopped abruptly, and Hong Ling's weak body had been torn into pieces by the snake beast's sharp claws.
In the panic, everyone could not control themselves, and the other two snake beasts followed one after another. With two "bangs, bangs", two more large rocks were broken, revealing the figures of Nian Qiu and Wu Qi.
The snake beast was extremely violent, shaking its head and tail, and the broken rocks flew everywhere. It took advantage of the situation to pounce on the panicked two people. Faced with such a ferocious monster, Nian Qiu and Wu Qi did not dare to neglect it, and nimbly dodged left and right between the large rocks.
After the attack failed, the three snake beasts only circled at low altitude, with their wings behind them flapping with the sound of wind and thunder, and turned around and returned. Then there were continuous "bang, bang" sounds, and one after another large rocks were blown away, making the hiding place of the Zhengyang Sect members precarious.
Lin Yi was a little far away from the people in front. He lay between two large rocks, not daring to move, but his brows were twisted together. These three hateful snake beasts were obviously unwilling to give up. But if they continued to toss back and forth like this, the stones that covered their bodies would be gone, and the final outcome could be imagined.
Mu Tianyuan, who was a few feet away, had a face full of dirt. Hong Ling's tragic death shocked people. Such a beautiful woman, a senior sister who knows each other well, is just like a blooming flower. In a blink of an eye, she was trampled and destroyed so ruthlessly that she had no time to face it. She could only watch the tragedy happen without being able to do anything. He lay on the ground and trembled.
Wan Ziping, who was even more unbearable, was also shaking. Just like a mountain rat facing a disaster, he was so panicked that he just stared at his frightened eyes, huddled beside a stone, waiting for death to come.
There was a drop of blood on Yu Luoyi's lips. At this time, she was extremely sad and angry, but she could only grit her teeth and endure, letting the tears fall. Who would have thought that after walking through Siji Mountain, she would suddenly encounter a disaster, and the master and apprentice would become strangers in a blink of an eye!
