After hearing what the other party said, Bai Ran did not agree immediately. Instead, he wrinkled his nose inadvertently, thought for a while and then said:
"Brother Jin, how about you let me think about this matter? I will give you a reply in two days."
"Okay! Fellow Taoist Bai, I'll think about it carefully. If it really doesn't work, I'll try it with someone else to see if there are any casual cultivators who know how to use the formation." Jin Qing said very understandingly.
Then he chatted with Bai Ran for a few more words, clasped his fists, and left.
Bai Ran looked at Jin Qing's retreating figure and stood there for a long time without moving, but there was a thoughtful look on his face.
Speaking of places like the ruins of ancient monks, quite a few have been discovered in Tianhai.
But it may be empty and empty, or you may find the cultivation experience of ancient monks, some now-extinct rare information or magic weapons and other good things...
Generally speaking, most ruins have more or less something to gain. Of course, the quality depends on the fate of the person who discovered it.
But according to Bai Ran's original intention, he really didn't want to go out to look for ancient monk ruins.
Due to the current turbulent undercurrent in Tianhai, the suburbs of Tianxing are not very peaceful, and his "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword" has not been cultivated for long, so it cannot be said to be very powerful.
As a result, it is really hesitant to let him go out now!
If it had been anyone else, Bai Ran would have rejected him a long time ago. But after all, Jin Qing had a pretty good relationship with him. He initially gave him some advice on cultivation and this was the first time he asked him, so he was too embarrassed to refuse him.
.
After thinking about it for a moment, Bai Ran still raised his head and sighed softly.
"Anyway, there are still two days left. Let's think about it more!"
Think about it this way! Bai Ran shook his head, moved his steps, and turned back to the house.
Two days later, Jin Qing arrived outside the cave again, and Bai Ran finally agreed to go out with him.
On the one hand, it is to repay the favor of the other party, on the other hand, he does have some interest in the ruins of the ancient monks. Who knows what good things he will find inside!
Jin Qing was overjoyed, and the next day he left Tianxing City with Bai Ran and Qu Hun and headed for the ruins of the ancient monks.
Quhun is Bai Ran's job. The nearby monks have tacitly guessed it through their contact with Bai Ran over the years. Jin Qing naturally has no objection. He is running at high speed on a remote sea area in Tianhai.
According to what Jin Qing said, after flying for such a long time, we should be there not far ahead.
Sure enough, after flying for half a day, they finally saw a big island.
This island is very large, with a radius of more than a thousand miles. However, there are mostly hills and slopes on the island, and everything you look at is gray and yellow.
"Is this the island?" Bai Ran looked up from above the island and asked Jin Qing beside him with some surprise.
"Yes. I first found this island according to the directions on the map. I asked the lay people nearby. This island is a veritable desert island. Not only can there be no spiritual veins nearby, but for some reason, ordinary trees
You can't survive on the island either." Jin Qing said with some doubts on his face.
Bai Ran was slightly stunned after hearing this, but after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and said:
"The more unusual this island is, the more it indicates that there may really be ruins of ancient monks here. This should be considered good news."
"Haha! We thought so too at the time, so we searched the entire island and found the most likely place." Jin Qing said with some satisfaction.
Bai Ran smiled faintly after hearing this. After looking around for a while, he asked casually.
"However, where is the place covered by the formation you mentioned?"
"Fly more than a hundred miles to the west. There is a huge earth mountain. There is a hillside there with a large formation sealing it." Jin Qing said without hesitation.
"Then let's go there! Maybe your fellow traveler has already arrived and unlocked the formation?" Bai Ran said with a smile.
"Hehe! It would be great if that's the case. It would save a lot of trouble! At most, just let them get a few more things." Jin Qing touched his chin and said with a hint of cunning. Bai Ran saw the other party for the first time.
Showing such an expression makes some people laugh.
The two of them were just talking.
Because everyone knows that a large formation set up by ancient monks could not be cracked so easily without a month or two of exploration.
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Bai! Don't keep us waiting for so long." As soon as Jin Qing greeted Bai Ran, he turned into a blue and white rainbow and flew away.
Bai Ran smiled indifferently, and like Qu Hun, he activated his magic weapon and chased after him.
For monks in the Dan-Jie stage, a distance of more than a hundred miles can be reached in just a matter of seconds.
A seemingly huge yellow earth mountain appeared in Bai Ran's eyes.
This mountain is about a thousand feet high. It is all earthy yellow without a trace of green, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling, as if the whole body is made of loess.
As soon as Bai Ran and others flew close to the mountain, a sudden storm blew up, causing sand and rocks to fly.
The strong wind that stretched as far as the eye could see lifted up a layer of loess on the ground, making the surrounding area immediately dark, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
Naturally, Bai Ran and others were not afraid of this bit of sand and dust. After a flash of light, a protective aura appeared on their bodies, covering them and they continued to fly forward steadily.
The wind and sand disappeared inexplicably after they flew out for only more than ten miles, and they had now reached the foot of the Tushan Mountain.
Jin Qing and Bai Ran flew around Tushan for a short half circle, and finally stopped in front of several stone houses. These stone houses were extremely simple, and at first glance, they were made by the technique of petrification, and the colors were all the same.
Gray and white color.
Jin Qing and others did not descend. The stone door of a stone house opened on its own, and three monks, two men and one woman, walked out one after another.
The men are all monks in the Dan Formation stage, but the women are only in the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, you are here too! What a coincidence. I have only arrived not long ago!" One of the male monks, a polite young monk wearing a white shirt, greeted Jin Qing with enthusiasm as soon as he saw him.
, seems more hospitable.
"Fellow Daoist Hu came early, as he should. Unlike Jin, he had to go back to Tianxing City to find Daoist Bai." Jin Qing seemed to get along well with this person and said very kindly.
"Fellow Daoist Bai?" The young monk immediately looked back and forth between Bai Ran and Qu Hun, obviously not knowing who he was talking about.
"My dear Bai Ran, this is my senior brother Qu Hun!" Bai Ran cupped his fists slightly and said with a smile.
On the way here, Bai Ran had already agreed with Jin Qing that it was best not to reveal Qu Hun's true identity.
Moreover, Bai Ran discovered that the monk surnamed Hu seemed to be young, with shiny and elastic skin. However, there were some fine wrinkles around the corners of his eyes. It seemed that they were actually just for maintenance, and he must be old.
This monk surnamed Hu should be the fellow traveler who discovered the two pearls mentioned by Jin Qing.
"I, Hu Yue, although I have met you two for the first time, I hope to communicate with you more about our cultivation experiences in the future. After all, there are too few of us casual cultivators who can form elixirs. In addition, I would like to introduce this to you two.
Two fellow Taoists."
Hu Yue was obviously very good at diplomacy, and after a few words, Bai Ran had a good impression of him. Then, he began to introduce the man and woman to Bai Ran and others.
"These two Fairies Shidie and Brother Jian. Fairy Shi is a well-known formation master on Hongyue Island. I believe that if she joins forces with Taoist Bai, they will definitely be able to break this formation. And Brother Jian is now a monk in the middle stage of pill formation.
They will definitely be able to contribute a lot in the process of breaking the formation." Hu Yue introduced them one by one with a smile.
"Ugly words, I am only responsible for helping you break the formation. If there are any risks behind the formation, I, a female in the foundation-building stage, will not take action. And I have to pick one thing I got this time!"
The female monk named Shi Die was average in appearance, but she had an arrogant expression and spoke rudely when she opened her mouth, which made Bai Ran and others slightly startled.
"Hongyue Island? I don't know, what are the names of Fellow Taoist Shi and Master Shi on Hongyue Island?" Jin Qing suddenly asked with hesitation.
"That's my father!" The female cultivator glanced at Jin Qing and said coldly.
"Haha, in that case, it's all according to what Miss Shi said!" Upon hearing what the other party said, Jin Qing immediately agreed without hesitation, making Bai Ran look at him in surprise.
"Fellow Taoist Bai! Master Shi was kind to me in his early years. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist." Jin Qing's voice came to Bai Ran's ears.
Bai Ran didn't say anything after hearing this, but gave Jin Qing an inadvertent smile.
