Already in the prehistoric times, Zhao Yuan took the unfinished stone boat into the world of Lingtai and randomly landed in a beautiful canyon.
Dense forests, tall trees, blocking out the sun, entangled with ancient vines, clear and rapid streams at the bottom of the valley, trickling springs, cliffs on both sides, connected to the clouds, strange peaks and rocks, miraculous workmanship, lush rocks and tree shadows, and rock crevices in the mountains.
The flowers are brilliant and colorful.
Although the Great Qin Empire had a cold winter when dripping water turned into ice, in this prehistoric period, it was like spring all year round.
Strolling in the canyon, breathing the fresh and pleasant air, listening to the chirping of birds and the cries of apes in the forest, Zhao Yuan was reminded of the artistic conception of "the roar of tigers and the roar of dragons in the river, the singing of birds and the fragrance of spring on both sides of the river".
Zhao Yuan had almost forgotten that he once had a dream of becoming a poet.
Back then, Zhao Yuan was famous all over the world not only because of his list of villains, nor because of his illustrious military exploits, but his poems were still widely circulated and popular in the Qin Empire.
Zhao Yuan found a clean stone, sat cross-legged on it, and summoned a pot of fine wine from the Sumeru Ring. Suddenly, Zhao Yuan was inspired by countless poems.
"The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is good in October, and the poor winter scenery is like spring. The frost has not killed the luxuriant grass, and the warm sun has begun to dry up the desert sand. The leaves of the old zhejie are as yellow as the young trees, and the branches of the cold cherry blossoms are as white as wild flowers. At this time, people are envious of idleness
Drunk, Wu Ma has no way to enter the restaurant..."
"Sour scholar, do you know Kuaiji Mountain?" A pleasant voice interrupted Zhao Yuan, who was immersed in the artistic conception of the poem.
"have no idea."
Zhao Yuan glanced at the bottom of the rock. There were five young people, one of whom was a graceful and good-looking girl, and the other four were all young men with impressive appearance.
Judging from their clothes and the weapons they wore, the five of them should be cultivators from different sects traveling together temporarily.
In the cultivation world of the Great Qin Empire, going on adventures together not only allows you to make more friends, but also deepens the relationship between sects.
Of course, the biggest reason is that more people mean safer. After all, no one wants to offend several cultivation sects at the same time.
"Are you a cultivator?"
A slender young man with thick eyebrows and starry eyes looked at Zhao Yuan curiously.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's long hair had been pulled up into a bun that looked like a scholar's. He was wearing a gray robe that covered his strong body. If it weren't for the seven-foot long sword on his back, he would look like a scholar.
Of course, usually scholars would not go to this primitive area to play, so that's why the young man asked this question.
"Yes." Zhao Yuan looked cautious.
"Sir, in these barren mountains and wild mountains, wild beasts are rampant. It would be safer if we have a few more people. Why don't we go together?" The graceful girl invited her very enthusiastically.
"No, thank you." Zhao Yuan nodded politely. He had already seen that these were a group of rookies who were going out for training. Naturally, they were unwilling to partner with a group of rookies, lest they become a burden.
The girl just nodded her head and did not use her words to persuade. Then, she and a group of young people gathered together and discussed something. It seemed that they could not agree on the same opinion.
Hidden treasure.
map.
route……
…
Listening to the words that a group of people kept spitting out, Zhao Yuan's heart moved. It seemed that these people should have maps on them.
Zhao Yuan regretted for a moment. If he had known they had the map, he should have agreed to let them go together.
"Sir, can you read a map?" Just when Zhao Yuan was regretful and thinking about approaching them, the girl suddenly raised her head and waved to Zhao Yuan.
"I know a little bit." Zhao Yuan was immediately overjoyed.
"Help us take a look, we can't tell the direction." The girl and a group of young people also looked surprised.
"good."
Zhao Yuan carefully climbed down the boulder, but it made a group of young people burst into laughter.
As expected, birds of a feather flock together. This group of young people seemed to be extremely innocent and without any scheming, they simply handed an ancient parchment to Zhao Yuan without any precautions.
The parchment scroll has turned yellow, and the writing lines inside are a bit blurry. Only mountains, rivers and stars can be seen vaguely. At first glance, it seems that it is something from a long time ago.
"I can only guess the rough path of this picture at the moment. The specific walking route can only be determined after dark and watching the stars." Zhao Yuan glanced at it and handed the parchment to the graceful girl.
"Ah...that's it..."
Everyone looked up at the sky with a look of disappointment. It was noon at this time, and it would take at least a few hours to wait for the stars to come out.
"Brother, you are alone, and there are many snakes, insects and beasts in the ancient wilderness. It is better to travel with us so that you can have someone to look after you. Besides, what we are looking for is a treasure cave. It is said that the treasures in the cave are piled up like a mountain.
I don’t care about one extra point, brother, you might as well consider it!" said an older young man.
"That's right, if you are walking alone in these deserted mountains and mountains, it will be very serious if you encounter some evil monsters. You will be much safer if you stay with us."
"Don't worry, sir, we are all cultivators, and we are above all aboveboard!"
"..."
The five people talked all over each other and tried to persuade Zhao Yuan to join the team.
"Forget it!" Zhao Yuan looked like he had been thinking for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "It is a kind of fate that we can meet in this barren mountain. In this case, let's go into the mountain with everyone!"
When everyone saw Zhao Yuan agreeing, they all cheered happily and beamed with joy.
According to the instructions on the map, everyone walked along the canyon towards the inside. After some conversation, Zhao Yuan had a general understanding of this group of people.
The five of them came from three little-known sects. The mountain gate was on the edge of the ancient wilderness. They had always had a good relationship. They often played together and were considered childhood sweethearts.
Not long ago, when the girl among the five was going to a market nearby, she accidentally got a sheepskin treasure map from an aboriginal resident, and she became interested in treasure hunting. After some discussion, she persuaded her elders to sneak around.
Sneaked out to hunt for treasure.
Zhao Yuan was originally worried that they would find out his identity, but when he said his name was Zhao Yuan, the expressions on the five people's faces showed no reaction at all. Obviously, these five people basically grew up in the mountains and had very little contact with the outside world.
Young Master, I didn’t even know that there was an all-powerful and undefeated God of War named Zhao Yuan in the Qin Empire.
Seeing that no one had heard of his name, Zhao Yuan felt relieved.
In addition to having rich experience in outdoor life, the five of them had almost zero worldliness and could be described as naive. They did not even ask about Zhao Yuan's identity.
To the five of them, Zhao Yuan was well-dressed, honest-looking, and didn't look like a bad guy.
Inexplicably, Zhao Yuan thought of the group of senior brothers in the Black Forest back then. Compared with the group of scheming cultivators, these five people were incredibly simple...
Zhao Yuan didn't know that these five people had very special identities. They were all the children of the sect leader. They were always held in the palm of their hands and protected. In addition, they had never left the mountain gate to enter the world of martial arts to experience, so naturally they didn't know the dangers of the world.
However, Zhao Yuan was amazed by the five people's outdoor life experience.
After walking for more than an hour, everyone found a small creek to stay. Then, they looked around for traces of mountain bird activity. Soon, they found a place where birds were active and set a trap. It only took half an hour.
When he arrived, he hunted more than 20 fat birds and a big rabbit. His efficiency was so high that Zhao Yuan was amazed.
Zhao Yuan carefully observed the trap. The structure was very simple. A piece of stone was propped up with a small wooden stick underneath. A thin thread was tied to the stick. Then, some grains were sprinkled under the stone. Wait until
If a bird enters, just pull it gently, and the rocks will fall down, suppressing the bird...
…
Of course, although the five people are simple, they are not stupid. They are also observing Zhao Yuan.
The five people were able to accept Zhao Yuan. In addition to needing Zhao Yuan, the main reason was that Zhao Yuan was similar in age to them. The gap was not very big. Moreover, Zhao Yuan did not look like a vicious person. Besides, they
With five people, we have an absolute advantage in numbers, so we are naturally not afraid.
After some observation, Zhao Yuan gave them the impression that he was a somewhat lonely and aloof cultivator. Judging from his age and cultivation level, he should be about the same as them. Moreover, judging from Zhao Yuan's curious look, his experience in the world was not that good...
