The Baiqi Mountains stretched across the mountain range, with mountains on both sides arranged in a well-proportioned manner. He walked in front of it, looked around for a moment, and then in his memory he found the peaks in front of him that looked like an upside-down pottery cup.
Wang Jushan.
Once you reach the depths of the mountains, you can see the thin mist lingering in the jungle. It is no longer as clear and refreshing as the edge of the mountain forest, but with a bit of moisture and depression.
Chen Yu gathered his magic power and jumped down from the top of the tall and lush tree. The spiritual text flickered, and his body swayed for more than ten feet before landing lightly.
Looking around, there are dense trees, deep forests and dense leaves. Many unrecognizable plants and flowers grow in the shade of the trees, accompanying the dense shrubs, absorbing the faint skylight that penetrates from the tree canopy above.
Most of the flowers that caught his eye were bright yellow, but he recognized that it was a kind of flower called ancient chrysanthemum. It was three inches tall, with slender and inverted leaves, and mist beads hung on the tips of the green leaves that stood out against the yellow flowers.
As December approaches, the original colorfulness of Qingtai Mountain has gradually faded away, leaving only a desolate atmosphere. However, you can still see many wild flowers and plants deep in the mountains.
Along the way, he did not deliberately look for herbs hidden under the branches and leaves. This trip was not for that.
Chen Yu held a few long hanging thorns in his hand, pushed them aside, and then took a few steps forward, his field of vision gradually broadened.
The wet fog gathered thickly, and a green inner lake appeared not far ahead.
There are many tall trees on both sides of the bank, and the red leaves are flying down one after another, swaying in the air, gently close to the ground, and some fall on the lake surface, causing subtle ripples to spread quietly.
Wangju Mountain is located in the southwest of Baiqi, not too far away from Qingtai. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter, but some long-time hunters occasionally come here.
In my memory, the old Taoist often went into the mountains to search for medicine. In addition to the money he saved by wandering down the mountain, the medicinal herbs from Wangju Mountain to Qingtai Mountain also provided a lot of help for the survival of Yunhe Temple. Unfortunately, his predecessor's martial arts skills were average and he only knew a little about picking.
Skills can't be traveled far in the wild in the mountains.
I have been wandering around Qingtai.
"Go east from Wangju Mountain, about a hundred miles away, and you'll find Liqu, one of the seven states in the southwest."
In my memory, I went there before, and it was euphemistically called "experience". However, there is not much to remember about Liqu, with poor mountains and harsh waters, and a large number of wild people. Most of our ancestors were punished and confiscated after committing crimes and moved here.
"I heard that there is a peak in Liqu that is more than two thousand feet high. It is extremely majestic and magnificent. I don't know if it is true or not."
Unlike his predecessor, he has no obsession with chivalry and righteousness at all, but the scenery is indeed attractive. I really want to see it. The world is so big, there are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Northern Qi and Southern Liang, and the beautiful scenery is no less than that of the previous life.
It is equally vast and rich in resources, but also a little more unfamiliar and expectant.
"Walking is too tiring and troublesome. It's better to wait until the Feiteng technique is perfected."
Not only the scenery attracted him, Chen Yu also wanted to collect more plants from all over the world to see what he could grow in the future.
In addition, he has also recently been thinking about the impact of the environment on spiritual plants. He has been limited to the medicinal field behind the hospital for a long time. This time when he went into the deep forest, he had the idea of looking around more, wondering whether he could use the natural arrangement of heaven and earth to create special plants.
The environment thus affects or even intervenes in the process of spiritual plant alienation.
Originally, this process was uncontrollable, and the final effect of the medicine could not be controlled. Apart from the changes in spirituality, there was no other way to know. This time, Chen Yu secretly thought of giving it a try.
Of course, now that we have arrived at a mountain lake, we cannot let the fishing rod on our shoulders return without success.
Stepping on the crisp fallen branches, the leaves rustled non-stop.
The feet are gentle and soft, as if they are padded with cotton balls.
Half squatting down, I scooped up a handful of cool lake water. The golden sun in front of me reflected in the lake, giving off a golden luster. The forest here is lush, but this area is the only one with a rare opening. Being naked in the forest, it is like holding a urn basin.
.
Wangju Mountain is not high, but there are several high mountains looming behind it, reaching straight into the sky. Mountain spring water flows in, and there is also accumulation of rain and dew in summer and autumn.
It is not a stagnant water. There is a ditch leading out dozens of steps to the east and disappearing into the mountain.
Therefore, the water quality is acceptable and not considered turbid.
"The lake is quite deep, about two feet in the center." Chen Yu understood with a quick glance of his mental energy. He found a place in the open and sat down, folding dry leaves and placing them under his body.
For bait, the wheat grains of Lingzhi Qiudaomai are used.
There are a lot of wild crucian carp in the mountains and forests, but I didn’t bring any earthworms with me on this trip. I only had some wheat grains, so I made do with them. There might be some very hungry fish who changed their recipes and tried new baits.
Boom!
The long thin white line swayed away and landed in the center of the lake.
There is only so much white thread made from fresh sheep seeds. It is just enough for fishing rods. There are not many other uses. The quantity is too small.
The sun was shining brightly, not as hot as summer, nor as dispensable as cold winter. Even though my body was protected from the cold and heat, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the bright light still brought some gentle warmth to my body.
Next to a small lake deep in the mountains, I fish quietly with a rod.
…
call!
Whoosh!
The 2,000-foot peak in Liqu had not yet been seen. Chen Yu, who left the lake and Wangju Mountain, was the first to experience the ice and snow scene in this world.
Baiqi Mountain.
There are four peaks in total, the nearest one is about 240 miles away from Wangju Mountain, and where he is now is the center of the entire Baiqi Mountain Range, and it is also the highest peak.
I don’t know the name, maybe someone in the area knows it, but Chen Yu has never been here. Even the old Taoist priests are basically limited to the area around the Baiqi Mountains and will not risk coming here.
He had traveled more than two hundred miles. He kept running all the way, taking detours when seeing wild beasts and raptors. His steps were extremely fast. If he were an ordinary person, he would have to make many twists and turns, and the journey would probably be thousands of miles away.
When he reached the highest peak, he had not carefully calculated how high it was. The foot of the mountain here was not a dense forest. He had also seen some villages in the distance, which were very simple.
One thousand seventy-eight hundred feet will definitely be no less, or even higher.
"Nearly five thousand meters away, there is a lot of ice and snow on the mountain."
The wind was blowing, which was very biting. Chen Yu trudged on the rocks, looking around as he walked.
The temperature is right, and the ice and snow are the icing on the cake. I wonder if the spiritual plants cultivated in this environment will change.
"It's a pity that it's too far, otherwise it would be more convenient if we were closer to Qingtai."
Even if he was running the spell all the way, it still took a long time after consuming a lot of mana. However, there is no naturally low-temperature area around Qingtai Mountain. In my memory, even in the cold winter, the temperature would only freeze for a few days.
"There is a big mountain further to the west. Everyone says that the sacred mountain is as high as ten thousand feet."
After muttering, Chen Yu expressed doubts about this, but according to current observations, the land and water in the area where he is located are high in the west and low in the east. Generally speaking, it is normal for there to be higher mountains deep in the mainland.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be a mountain. It can be tested if there is an environment with long-term snow and ice."
In other words, low temperature is enough.
Low temperature... After thinking about it, Chen Yu stepped over the big stone and looked up at the blue sky. It must be cold enough up there.
But I can’t go up now.
And if you go up there, you won't be able to get anything, unless you can carve out soil for farming on the very high sky!
He shook his head. It was difficult enough to fly with oneself, but it was unrealistic to fly with tons and dozens of tons of soil.
After searching for a long time, he finally saw a location in the cold wind. It was a natural earth. Chen Yu leaned over and used his magic power to condense a pair of huge palms... and then began to dig and arrange.
I also brought some talisman tokens with me, but this time the seals were carved with spiritual characters, and the wooden tokens had been stored in mana for a period of time, and their texture and affinity had improved.
"If you don't touch it frequently, it can last for about ten days."
Just make do.
Digging and digging, a shallow hole appeared. At this moment, he couldn't help but miss the original Mountain Collapse Talisman. Even if the hard rock and soil in front of him was soaked with ice and stone, there were only seven or eight of them. If it didn't work, he could add ten more.
pieces.
When Nei Qi was around, the most important thing he lacked was wooden and stone talismans carved with various patterns.
But now it seems that there are still many areas for improvement in the various formations and formations created at that time. That is, there is no replacement in the short term, and it will not be able to be used after the inner energy is gone. This really made him upgrade to speed up the conversion of spiritual texts.
thoughts.
The Mountain Collapsing Curse driven by spirit texts should not be any weaker than the previous wooden talisman. Moreover, if it is actually created, then the formation can be turned into a spell with a change of thought, and it can be concentrated and cast.
Casting will become more convenient.
At the entrance of the cave, he withdrew his thoughts, let go of his magic hand and walked inside. After a little cleaning, he separated several pieces of foundation and placed a batch of seeds on them.
There are spiritual seeds with full shapes and flowing white light, and there are also ordinary plant seeds that are simple and unpretentious.
Submerged into the ground, three grains of inspiration were sprinkled down.
Then there was another jar of spiritual liquid, in case there was not enough nutrition on the barren mountain.
Then he took out the talisman cards, inserted them one by one into the surrounding earth and rocks, and injected some magic power to activate the formation.
It was the first time that Chen Yu set up a spiritual formation in the outside world. With the idea of accumulating experience, Chen Yu kept trying and sometimes debugged some nodes. After all, the biggest difference between the spiritual formation and the inner energy formation was flexibility.
The development potential of the former is much higher than that of the latter.
After perfecting it bit by bit, when the half-finished shielding formation was completely dropped, the light and mist at the entrance of the cave flickered momentarily, then disappeared again.
There seems to be no change, but the human-high cave can no longer be seen from the outside world. The wind is howling, blowing frost and seeping into the cave, without being shielded by the magic circle.
After successfully carving this magic circle for the first time not long ago, he made a lot of modifications to it. Finally, considering the environment of the planting site this time, he added several new secondary magic circles to it.
.
After a few days of modification, it seems that the effect has indeed improved.
"The current magic circle has both shielding and dispersing effects. Visual distortion and breath shielding are the key. In addition, it can also stimulate a sense of needle prick when wild beasts invade."
The latter is adapted from the "Water Mist Needle Rejection Array".
Chen Yu placed high hopes on this complex formation and named it [Fengshu Secret Mountain Formation].
Glancing at the empty center, he suppressed many of his thoughts. Theoretically, there should be a secondary magic circle at the core, which could transport or even generate wind power. The wind power and visual distortion could be used to create a stronger maze effect.
It took some time, but fortunately the mountains here were high and the wind was cold, so there were not many animals that needed to be on guard against sneak attacks on the seeds. After placing some talismans underground, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The formation was working well, so I simply poured all the remaining mana in my body into it in one breath, stopping twice to recover, and only stopped when all the talisman cards were fully charged.
I didn't bring any dry food with me, but I wasn't hungry.
He had Qi and blood to support him during the journey. Based on his physical strength, it is estimated that it would not be a problem if he did not eat for two or three days.
Mana can also replenish certain consumption.
In addition, I just grilled two large greenbacks outside Wangjushan Lake in the morning. I have to say that the meat of the wild fish on the mountain is really tender and delicious. The feeling of the browned fish skin wrapped with the smooth belly meat rolling down the throat is really wonderful.
Even though there are not many condiments, it is still a rare delicacy.
There were two fish, and after deboning and removing the internal organs, there was about three kilograms of fish meat, all of which filled the belly.
After packing up, Chen Yu took one last look at the short cave hidden in the mountain, then strode straight down the mountain.
There were four more fish circled by the lake, and the fishing rods were also in Wangjushan. When we returned, we found that the fishing rods were already floating on the water.
The fishing line was stretched straight. It turned out that a big fish weighing nearly six kilograms was hooked, but it couldn't break free. The fishing line was strong enough that it didn't break even if it was pulled repeatedly.
He smiled and accepted the big fish and walked out of the mountains.
…
December 18th.
Chen Yu got up early, finished his homework, and the glow of the meal entered his stomach. He cooked in a hot pot and poured a ladle of Qiu Dao wheat into it. After boiling, the fragrance was overflowing.
When I went outside the house, the four water tanks, one big, three small and four were all occupied. Now the snakehead fish lives in the biggest one, and the remaining three have one shrimp and four fish respectively.
The shrimp is condensing the consciousness light group, but the progress is so slow that it is so slow. Even if Chen Yu can use methods to speed it up again, the effect is not obvious. It is estimated that it is basically impossible to awaken the conscious self before being buried.
As for the four fish caught from the lake in the mountains, they were not as leisurely basking in the sun as the snakehead fish. They were obviously still a little panicked after a night, and they sank to the bottom of the tank as soon as they got close.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That big fish tastes good."
The six-pound fish went out that night. Chen Yu had never seen that kind of fish in his memory. It was not common in Qingtai, but the meat was delicious. These fish were all the same type, but smaller in size. He planned to raise them well and prepare
Choose a time to put it in the pool.
But before that, I still had some ideas and needed to use these fish, so I kept them in the water tank for the time being.
Seeing Chen Yu approaching, Heiyu glanced at him and then raised his belly, which was white and smooth.
When you poke it lightly with your finger, it dents slightly and then pops up.
The black fish didn't move, only the expression on its face was changing. Unfortunately, the fish's face was too dark, so he couldn't see it. However, the pair of fish eyes were very straight, and he could vaguely read some meaning.
I hate him for blocking the sun.
"You bastard, you can't eat sunlight like moonlight, so what's the use of getting so much sunlight all day long!"
The spirit poked out and was about to sink into the opponent's consciousness light group, but a weak resistance appeared. Unlike Brother Chicken, who was getting more and more crazy, this resistance was much gentler, but still firm enough.
It's like the owner's instinctive resistance to outsiders entering their territory.
Awakened?
This performance had to make him think more, and then he effortlessly broke through the opponent's defense and forced his way into the conscious light group.
In the tank, the black fish's eyes became even more dull, staring straight at Chen Yu, the expression on his face gradually changed from anger to helplessness, and gradually became numb.
Just like when I faced the greedy deer.
If you can't resist, just forget it.
On the other side, Chen Yu also confirmed the opponent's status.
He has indeed awakened, but Heiyu doesn't seem to have changed much after becoming a self.
I scratched the back of my head and couldn't figure out why this happened for a while. Logically speaking, if you have yourself, you have wisdom no matter what, and you won't be as lazy as you are now, sunbathing under an umbrella.
…
Inside the house, Chen Yu packed large and small bags into a backpack.
First I offer incense to Mr. Dao Zu, but I didn’t incense the sacred incense this time. The last one was used yesterday, and the rest can only be made after the medicinal soil matures.
Today is the death anniversary of the old Taoist priest, so I have to visit his grave.
"Seals, flower hangings, fruit wine, paper money..."
When I counted my belongings, some of them were purchased on the mountain earlier. For example, there was only half a cup of fruit wine left, and some unused paper money that my predecessor had bought. I brought them all with me this time and burned them together for the old Taoist priest.
The rest are just some small odds and ends, and they are all put in the backpack.
Passing by the water tank, Heiyu behaved the same as usual. He took a few more glances and then quickly left the Taoist temple...
