After the demon rat woke up for a moment, the more He Gu looked at the black stone pillars in the mud pit, the more he felt that things were not simple.
After thinking about it, I just came up with a speculative direction: "God, could it be related to the Demon Clan's 'Five Spirit Altar'?"
On the shoulder, the demon rat's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly: "It is very possible..."
"Even God, can't you see the purpose of this formation?" He Gu couldn't help but be curious.
Hearing this, the demon rat couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said a little annoyed: "Now I see a broken pillar. Maybe there are tens of thousands of such pillars hidden in this boundary river. Who knows how the winding roads inside are constructed?
It’s running, don’t I see it’s weird?”
As we all know, formations are all about the movement of the formation. Only by seeing through the movement of the formation can we understand the general function of an unfamiliar formation.
The larger the formation, the more it is necessary to clarify its operating context, so that it is possible to deduce its general purpose.
Unless the key formation can be found, in this case it can be directly explored through some special means, eliminating the intermediate deduction process.
He accidentally asked a stupid question, He Gu felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Tianye's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he immediately looked proud of himself.
Looking at the stone pillar in the pit, it continued to murmur: "Although I can't see what the effect of this thing is at the moment, one thing is certain now: this so-called abyss stone should be just an additional product of this nameless formation.
, it will 'grow' again on the stone pillar after a while."
He Gu was confused: "How can I see it?"
The demon rat started to show off: "Look carefully at the pit left after you dug out the abyss stone. What can you find?"
He Gu immediately followed the instructions and looked over. He still didn't understand it at first, but after looking at it for a while, he suddenly understood.
With the dim yellow light of the luminous pearl in his hand, he could see that the water bodies on the black stone pillars that had been knocked out by him were flowing faintly like small whirlpools, as if they were gestating something at a turtle speed.
When he dug down unbelievingly, he didn't understand why the former owner of the jade slips of the mining sites had to record in detail all the mining sites that had been mined. Obviously, a so-called large mining site only produced four minerals.
There are only nineteen pieces of abyss stone. If you switch to a small mining site, the output will definitely be less. You can see how many pieces there are at a glance and there will be no omissions. You can use the method of dividing the area to mark those to be mined.
place passed.
Only then did he understand the reason for marking them one by one.
He Gu was about to answer, but at this moment, the demon rat suddenly couldn't maintain his airs of superiority and rushed to greet him to leave immediately.
"No, there are demons coming. There are quite a few of them, so stay away first!"
Hearing this, He Gu quickly set off away from this place without hesitation, quickly turned his head and sneaked towards the northwest.
And not long after he left, a team of demons who were ordered to check came over quickly with billowing black water.
When he saw the fresh digging marks on the black stone pillars and the empty scene with no trace of the target figure, the leader of the strong demonic man suddenly became angry.
"Sure enough, these damn scum of the clan dare to destroy the foundation of the clan just for a small profit. They really don't deserve any pity. In the past, they were more restrained and only took half of it. Now they are becoming more and more arrogant and wanton!"
The strong demon was extremely angry. This was the first time he encountered an ore thief who had clearly broken the "rules".
If there were not too many black stone pillars and their locations were too scattered, it would be very labor-intensive to station people there all year round, and there would never be any chance for theft.
He immediately walked around and carefully examined the surface traces of the mud around the site. Soon he had some clues and pointed at a demon behind him and left a message.
"Send a message back immediately and report the situation here to the two elders, and the rest will follow me!"
After saying that, he took the lead and led the remaining seven or eight men straight to the northwest to pursue him.
In a hidden and independent space in the Abyss River, after learning the news, a killing order was immediately sent out.
[The two elders passed the order: First, immediately close the Baili River section and eliminate all suspicious people at the bottom of the river within this range! Especially the mine thieves will be removed once discovered; second, drive out the idlers within one day, and tomorrow
Any trespassers will be killed without mercy!]
As soon as this order was issued, the nearby Baili River section instantly exploded, and many demons who came here to practice or passed by were driven out in disgrace.
There were also several demons who were punished and killed on the spot because they were found to be carrying mining-related objects.
For a time, the Baili River section became a restricted area for activities.
At the bottom of a river bank a hundred miles away, the demon who had suffered heavy losses as a result of having his storage bag robbed by He Gu was driven out as an idler because all the mining-related items he was carrying were lost.
The storage bag was snatched away and became "clean", so he luckily escaped the disaster.
Knowing the origin of the rumor, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, turned around and left the place without looking back.
He Gu didn't know that he had set off a huge wave, nor did he know that he was invisibly manipulated by the former owner of the mineral jade slip.
At this moment, he just thought that the environment in the river was already so dangerous.
After leaving the first large mining site, he quickly understood the situation behind him with the help of the powerful spiritual detection power of the demon rat on his shoulder.
I was not greedy and rushed to this moment, and I was a little worried about the cloud shadow on the shore, so I decisively chose to take a detour and evacuate to the shore.
Following the guidance of the demon rat, he immediately stayed away from the muddy bottom and returned to the upper reaches. Using the explosive step technique, he soon shook off the tangled little tail behind him.
More than an hour later, he returned to the place far below where he originally practiced in his fake body without any danger.
After removing the power of the Fire Spirit Seal, he allowed the demon rat to return to the World-Escaping Pearl in advance, and then put it into the storage bag. Then he quietly touched it in a meditative posture and slowly rose up from directly below until it completely overlapped the fake body.
He eliminated the cicada wing skin image that overlapped his body without leaving any trace. As the "cultivation light and shadow" around his body gradually dissipated, he slowly opened his eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fearing that something might change later that would affect his next "practice" trip, he hurried upstream.
Perhaps because they were concerned about the imperial military camp on the shore, or because they did not want to attract the attention of the human and demon cultivators other than the demons who were passing by this river, the movements in the depths of the boundary river did not affect all the shallow areas near the water surface.
In the eyes of Yun Ying on the shore, the young master just practiced with concentration in the river for more than two hours, and now he came out of the water safely.
After getting out of the water, He Gu removed his protective spiritual power and flew to the side of Yun Ying.
"I'm fine, I can go back." Seeing that he was being watched closely as soon as he came up, he comforted softly.
Seeing that the young master was in good condition except for looking slightly tired, Yun Ying's heart that had been hanging for a long time was completely relieved.
Without thinking, she stepped forward and stretched out her jade hands to carefully arrange the boy's clothes.
Smelling the faint and special body fragrance that was almost familiar, slightly mixed with the aroma of medicine, He Gu's heartbeat suddenly calmed down from the nervous and fast beating just now, as if his impetuous mood had been baptized.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but murmured in praise: "It smells so good..."
With just one sentence, Yun Ying's clear eyes turned slightly to one side in shame.
This was the second time she heard this comment from the young master's mouth, and it was almost difficult for her to maintain a calm attitude.
Fortunately, after staying with the empress for these years, my state of mind improved and I quickly returned to normal.
It's a bit embarrassing to realize it later.
The last time he said it deliberately to save himself, and there was a reason for it, but this time he said it from the bottom of his heart, and it was inevitable that it would be abrupt.
He quickly said it was getting late.
The departure of the two did not lessen the turmoil under the boundary river, but intensified because they lost track of the rule-breaker.
The whole night passed, and it was not until noon of the next day that the pursuit gradually subsided with no results.
…
The days passed day by day, and He Gu spent the next few nights in Jiehe "cultivating honestly".
During the day, he practices medicine and takes care of his cultivation. When he is free, he calculates a few hexagrams in advance for his actions at night.
I already knew that mining would attract demons, so I suddenly thought of using the ability of the Tianji Guapan to screen the target points every night.
As long as you find a large mineral point that shows Xiaoji or above in the hexagram, you will take Yunying to the river in the name of cultivation at night, and use the reason that "the practice effect will be better if you change the location" and then choose a location closest to the target point that night.
The location of the river, and then quietly go down to the river to dig a new large mineral point.
Get it back every time you get it, never be greedy.
For five days in a row, he didn't see his cheap fiancée again, as if she happened to be very busy during this time.
Regarding Shen Jiangli, He Gu's mentality has changed now. He is no longer as relaxed and casual as before, deliberately avoiding her, putting aside her intentions, and even seeing her or not seeing her.
It's just that this change did not positively increase the number of times the two of them met. On the contrary, the result of him not avoiding it was that they actually met less often.
The weird and counter-intuitive development status made him feel a little unexplainably depressed every time he thought about it.
When practicing Taoism, the most important thing is to cultivate the mind and suppress all negative emotions that can affect a firm will.
Thinking it was a narcissistic little negative emotion at work, he secretly tried to suppress it and tried not to think too much about it.
Because he mined illegally every night, the turmoil under the abyss boundary river once again became more and more turbulent.
Thanks to the early warning ability of the demon rat and the soul-absorbing power of the abyss river to cleanse the remaining aura, He Gucai was able to escape safely time and time again from the demons who came to hunt or kill one or more demons coming from different directions. The small team was so stirred that there was no peace under the boundary river at night.
After five nights of struggle, he now has a total of 245 abyss stones in his storage bag.
There are exactly forty-nine abyss stones on each black stone pillar in the large mining site, which makes one person and one mouse even more convinced that these black stone pillars are artificially arranged components of a large array.
The only thing that can't make progress is that the suspicious energy fluctuation point in the far northwest that the demon rat discovered earlier has not seen new changes, and the fluctuations of something unknown that is continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of the world are still coming.
Faced with the options, there are fewer and fewer large unexploited mineral sites that show auspicious signs. Feeling the increasing pressure brought by the demons' pursuit, everyone and the mouse have some ideas to give up for the time being and escape for a while. thoughts.
It's just not enough to make up your mind yet.
The demons already knew that there was an oil-stealing rat that always wandered outside the killing net and was committing crimes frequently in the East Coast area. Based on the traces of mud left at the scene each time, it was determined that it was the same person, and they also deduced that this person's identity was the same. The power of spiritual consciousness has been cultivated to be very powerful.
Just because the places He Gu visited were unusual for strong human beings to stay for a long time, so they firmly believed that the target was a member of the same race.
People in the demon clan are born with an attribute demon seal in their bodies, which is more or less similar to the original spiritual seal in He Gu's body. Depending on the strength of the body, they can directly borrow the corresponding strength of the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy. Therefore, the demons all major in physical fitness, and only secondarily. It is a minor training of spiritual roots.
As for the power of divine consciousness, except for the improvement that comes naturally when advancing to the realm, and the improvement brought by rare foreign objects, most demons basically have no energy to care about it.
Demons with strong spiritual power are almost equal to demon cultivators with strong cultivation realms, and this is often the case with experience.
Therefore, they gradually upgraded the position of this mouse, which they originally thought was invisible only because of its cunning, to the level of "an unknown demon master who sees the dragon but fails to see its head", and they sincerely felt very troubled.
For five consecutive nights, many teams searching for the demons found no results. Naturally, this incident further alarmed the higher-ups of the demon clan.
As the sixth night fell on time, a short, vague and flexible figure like a monkey quietly swept out of a hidden and independent space in the abyss river, and disappeared into the misty black water in an instant, completely disappearing.
