In order to move quickly, everyone put their luggage and changes of clothes in the Sanmao Temple. There is a lot of water in the mountains that can be drank directly. People who have survived the thunder tribulation do not require much food. Jiuling and the Mastiff King can find something to eat.
They have to rely on mountains and rivers, so they simply don't even bring dry food and water. After all, the Koga Divine Soldiers will arrive at any time, and they need to fight quickly!
As soon as Chen Guan, Tong Emei and Earth Master Qin Henyu took the two beasts past the Sanqing Temple in the east of Maoshan Mountain, the three of them immediately felt that the Feng Shui here was fundamentally different from the Feng Shui in the Sanmao Temple. It was as if they suddenly
It's like being in two worlds.
The area over Sanmao Temple is full of peaks and mountains, with a pleasant climate, luxuriant green bamboos, and natural treasures. However, there are only eight words to describe the eastern environment that they see now!
Although they had survived the thunderstorm, they felt that they could not see very far, at most a few hundred meters. The mountains and forests were shrouded in clouds and mist, and strange rocks and rocks appeared densely everywhere. There was a faint sound of water droplets. Apparently, there were large and small caves everywhere in the mountains.
It is deep and winding, with mountain springs and pools dotted here and there, winding streams crisscrossing each other, and green trees covering the mountains. It is extremely eerie!
"No wonder the Earth Master has never expanded eastward in the thirty years he has been in charge of Maoshan!" Tong Emei sighed: "This place is really dirty and gloomy! I would abandon it!"
"Why not? Let's... go in and have a look!" Earth Master Qin Henyu seemed to be twenty years younger. He was about to go at the front with the Tibetan Mastiff King. Chen Guan remained silent, but he thought that after all, this Earth Master was already seventy years old.
He was old, so he took the lead and ran out with Biyou Ben Lei Jue and got in front of the Earth Master Qin Henyu: "Earth Master, please take command in the middle, Jiuling and I will open the way! Master Tongling holds the rear!"
"Okay! The three of us keep a distance of five feet from each other, so that we can communicate with each other and take care of each other!" Earth Master Qin Henyu did not show off.
The sleeves of Chen Guan's Taoist robe are three inches longer than ordinary Taoist robes. This was done deliberately by Xue'er when making the clothes, so that she could hide her hands in the sleeves to perform the Heaven and Earth Exploration Technique. In this way, once the sleeves are longer, outsiders will be attracted by it.
It’s not easy to notice!
He was walking in front, thinking of Xue'er with sore eyes, while he had already gathered the Heaven and Earth Qi Exploration Technique to search for the surrounding atmosphere.
After Chen Guanzai survived the thunder tribulation under the guidance of the ghost master Kuang Tianye, he could detect the breath of ordinary people three miles away and the breath of animals within five miles!
If it is a holy spirit like Jiuling, it can only be detected within 200 meters, and the detection distance for masters who have survived the thunder tribulation is even shorter. Masters with similar cultivation levels can detect it within 100 meters, but they can only detect it within 100 meters.
The Taoist masters of human calamity may not be able to detect it!
After walking for a few minutes, they came to a swampy wetland. There was no road ahead. The ground was full of small pools of different depths. There were some large trees growing here and there, forming a small forest. The trees were only two or three feet tall and thin.
If Wankou, Chen Guan, Earth Master Qin Henyu, and Tong Emei have already wetted their soles, their shoes will get wet if they continue walking like this.
"Wait a moment!" Earth Master Qin Henyu shouted from a distance.
Chen Guan stopped and waited for the Earth Master and Tong Emei to come forward. The Earth Master pulled out a long black sword from his waist. Although it was made of wood, it smelled strange. It was obviously the golden nanmu sword, one of the three treasures of Maoshan.
.
This sword is not afraid of water and fire. Qin Henyu directly held the sword and drew a map on the ground: "Master Chen, Master Tongling, look! What we are looking for is this area, which is about a hundred miles long and thirty or forty wide.
Here, the ground is already a muddy swamp, and the road conditions behind it are even worse. We can’t walk anymore. We will fall in the air on a tree or on a dry and exposed place on the ground to use our strength! In this case, how far can you fly?"
"The tree trunks are soft in the void, and the ground is even softer. In addition, in order to carefully check for abnormalities in the trees, grass and water on the ground, I jump up to ten feet in each flight!" Chen Guan said calmly: "Nine Spirits can keep up with me! But
I don’t want the Nine Spirits to fly into the sky, but I want to put the Nine Spirits on the ground to run and follow us!”
Tong Emei nodded: "Okay, I'll keep the same speed and move ten feet in length!"
The Earth Master also agreed: "Shizhang is no problem for me, but the Tibetan Mastiff cannot fly in the air. Fortunately, I have been training it to run around Maoshan all year round. It can run on the swamp as light as a swallow, and it can enter the water very quickly. We can fly in the air."
Ten feet, it’s down there with the nine spirits, it’s very good!”
So the three people decided to line up in a row, with Chen Guan in the east, Dishi in the middle, and Tong Emei in the west. The three of them were about thirty meters apart. At the same time, they flew about ten feet in the air to search from the south to the north. This trip
Go to the northernmost point and then turn back. After seven or eight back and forth, you can completely search this area.
Although this search is troublesome and tiring, it is the only way to be sure!
"I think Master Henjian searches like this too!" Chen Guan thought secretly.
Jiuling can understand human speech, and the Mastiff King has also been trained. They all run on the ground according to the instructions. Jiuling has survived the thunder tribulation, has great aura, and has inner elixir in his body, so he can lift a heavy weight with ease. Although the Tibetan Mastiff is the most extinct species
A pure breed, after nine years of secret training by Master Qin Henyuba, it is far more powerful than the Tibetan Mastiffs in the world, but it still cannot keep up with Jiuling and everyone else. It is the slowest, but it is not dangerous. It is proficient in water, even if
You can also scream for help if you are suddenly attacked.
After the three people and two beasts went north for about three miles, the water on the ground here became deeper. There were sporadic large trees emerging from the water, but they were not thick.
Change the distance of each volley to about 8 feet.
At this time, Chen Guan's Heaven and Earth Exploration Technique suddenly felt a breath he had never seen before in the water below a hundred meters away.
"Weird!" He thought to himself, as long as the Heaven and Earth Exploration Technique can identify the scents of humans and animals that he has seen, Chen Guan grew up in a mountainous countryside, and of course he has seen most of the animals in the mountains and water, so he
I feel strange.
During the few miles he came here, Chen Guan had already discovered many fish and frogs in the water, and the smell of water snakes was normal.
Earth Masters Qin Henyu and Tong Emei do not have the Heaven and Earth Qi Detection Technique. Although they have sharp eyes and clear ears, they are not as powerful as Chen Guan's ability to discern the auras of creatures with seven orifices.
"Jiuling, go fifty meters ahead and dive into the water to see what's underneath. There are at least several of them!" Chen Guan shouted loudly.
Earth Master Qin Henyu, who was ten feet away, asked strangely: "The water below is at least four to five meters deep. There should be fish in the water. Is there any strange fish?"
Tong Emei smiled and said: "Haha, did you discover it so soon?"
After the three of them jumped twice in a row, they all stopped on a tree growing out of the water. They looked at the water below their feet. Although the water was relatively clear, they could not see the fish below.
Jiu Ling and the Mastiff King were running on the ground before, often borrowing strength from branches. Jiu Ling had a spiritual energy and could fly into the air without difficulty, but the Mastiff King was a little out of breath. The two beasts came to where Chen Guanshuo was.
Chen Guan detected three small strands of strange smell in the water, and pointed to the direction to show Jiuling: "Go and arrest him! If there is any danger, kill him directly!"
Jiuling plunged down with a sudden "thump". Strangely enough, there was almost no splash when it entered the water.
Chen Guan has no doubt about Jiuling's water nature. When he took a bath in the pond yesterday morning, he even felt that Jiuling's aura was stronger in the water. At least it was not blocked by any water. Jiuling was able to swim easily in the water this morning.
There is no pressure even if the head does not emerge for more than ten minutes, as if it can breathe freely in the water.
"Pah...pah..." The three people on the water suddenly saw three hidden arrow-like ripples shooting out in three directions from the bottom of the water. Of course, they were stirred up by Jiuling. Jiuling was in the water, waving with his huge right palm.
Use aura to catch strange fish.
The strange fish was frightened, fled away, and shot forward. Jiu Ling crouched in the water and was able to catch up. He covered it with spiritual energy and bit the monster's neck immediately. The monster's blood flowed and it was completely bitten through. In an instant,
Stop breathing and die.
The second ripple shot towards the tree branch where the Tibetan Mastiff was. The Tibetan Mastiff jumped into the water with a "bang" sound and raised his palms to catch the ripple. Unexpectedly, when he grabbed it, he jumped into the air and let the people in the ripple escape.
The strange fish ran away quickly.
Obviously, the Tibetan Mastiff King is not as good as Jiuling.
The third ripple fled far away in the direction of Tong'emei.
Tong Emei's face remained as usual. When he saw the ripples coming three feet away, he summoned up enough spiritual energy to raise his hand and slapped the water with his palm. The Buddha's light flashed, and the water surface was suddenly pressed by spiritual energy. From the water one meter below, "poof..."
A strange fish jumped up at the sound!
I say it’s a strange fish, because it is indeed a strange fish!
This fish has a typical streamlined body, with a long and pointed upper jaw that is very prominent. The front part is like holding a half-inch-long needlepoint! The fins on its back are smaller, and its body is very narrow, about a foot long.
The width and thickness are only five or six inches!
The strange fish jumped up more than one meter out of the water and shot directly towards Tong Emei!
The most bizarre thing is that its tail keeps swinging powerfully as it shoots towards Tong Emei in the air. The entire tail is covered with snake-like scales!
"Master, be careful!" Earth Master Qin Henyu could see that the upper jaw of this strange fish was very sharp but hard, even though he was ten feet away from Tong Emei. If it stabbed Tong Emei, it would definitely cause blood wounds.
Tong Emei smiled sweetly: "Thank you for reminding me!"
Then, when the strange fish rushed two feet away from her chest, she raised her right hand leisurely, and a green shining weapon appeared in her hand. This weapon was only about two feet long, with the middle part being the thickest in diameter.
It's less than two inches long. The copper Emei is held in the middle. The two ends of the weapon are thin and flat, with rhombus-shaped sharp knives and sharp stabs, shaped like the head of a gun, shining brightly in the afternoon sun!
"Haha, even a poor Taoist has forgotten the master's portable weapon, the Emei Thorn!" Earth Master Qin Henyu laughed.
The top end of the Emei thorn on Tong Emei's right hand has accurately pierced and killed this strange fish with a snake-like tail from bottom to top. He acted with great force while talking and laughing, and he really lived up to his world-famous reputation.
