"The mountains that stretch across the Denjin Grand Canyon are majestic and majestic. They are by no means comparable to ordinary hills. At a glance, they look like a dragon that has seen its head but not its tail."
In a camp next to the Denjin Grand Canyon, Wu Qingce was describing the information he had investigated in the past two days.
"Also, although the rocks on the bluestones criss-crossing the Grand Canyon are exposed, they are not covered by soil. They are all dyed with green layers, and there are some stubborn pines and cypresses breaking through the rocks."
Gu Qinghuan, who was listening on the sidelines, wrote down these characteristics one by one.
When Wu Qingce finished painting, Gu Qinghuan raised his head and asked: "Brother Wu, how are your water qualities?"
"It's okay." Wu Qingce replied.
"Have you ever gone under a waterfall to explore?"
"I have checked it out, but my metaphysical knowledge is greatly reduced in the water, and the water flow is very fast. I really can't guarantee that I have completely checked it out."
"Well..." Gu Qinghuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then came to the edge of the cliff and climbed up to look.
The water in Denjin Grand Canyon is extremely strange, with beaches, springs, rivers and waterfalls all available. Looking down from a high place, you can see a winding stream running through the canyon.
As you go upstream along the stream, you will often see majestic and bold waterfalls of varying sizes.
The height of these waterfalls may not seem big, but they plunge straight into the abyss. The abyss is so deep that no bottom can be seen, and it is not known where it leads.
At this time, the other three people also walked next to Gu Qinghuan. Wu Qingce looked at the waterfall in the distance that seemed to fall from the sky. It was like a suspended Bai Lian flying straight down, which was really spectacular.
"This waterfall reminds me of a poem that my senior brother once recited. How did he recite it... why did it fly... how many feet did it fly?"
Seeing Senior Brother Wu scratching his head and ears, Lu Qinghuan said.
"Flying down three thousand feet, it seems that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky."
"Yes!" Wu Qingce clapped his hands suddenly, "Junior brother has a good memory."
On the side, Luo Wenzhou couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so doubtful that the Milky Way falls into the sky, Master is indeed a great talent."
Luo Wenzhou was also quite proficient in poetry as a powerful tool to win the heart of a beautiful woman, so he could even hear the brilliance of these two lines of poetry.
The more Luo Wenzhou read it, the more interesting it seemed to him, so he looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, do you have the entire poem?"
Gu Qinghuan shook his head: "Senior brother was inspired by this and just said these two sentences."
“I see.” Luo Wenzhou’s expression was rather regretful, thinking that he must ask his master for advice the next time they meet.
After sighing at the scenery, Gu Qinghuan said: "There is dense water in this canyon. If we can't check clearly, we may not be able to know if the strange phenomenon occurs in the water."
"Indeed." Wu Qingce nodded, "I'll go into the water to explore again, but I'm afraid I can't describe the situation clearly."
At this time, Qu Yangze, who had been standing behind Gu Qinghuan, suddenly raised his hand and said, "How about... let me try?"
The three of them looked at Qu Yangze at the same time and cast an appreciative glance at this young junior brother who was not very familiar with him yet.
Seeing that he was being stared at by three senior brothers at the same time, Qu Yangze lowered his head shyly and murmured: "Although it may not be able to help...but I can try."
"Junior Brother Qu is very good at water?" Gu Qinghuan asked softly.
"I don't know if it's good or not...but I'm not afraid of water. The feeling in the water is almost the same as on land."
"Oh?" Gu Qinghuan was surprised. If he could really feel the same in water as on land, then his water properties would be absolutely amazing.
So he tried asking a question: "Is it possible for you to see clearly underwater?"
"Yes!" Qu Yangze nodded vigorously.
"Can you stay underwater for a long time?"
"Yeah!" Qu Yangze nodded again.
"Approximately how long can I dive?"
"If necessary...I can stay in the water."
"hiss……"
Wu Qingce couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
Because the distribution of spiritual energy underwater is completely different from that on land, even practitioners cannot stay underwater for a long time, and most practitioners' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced when they are in the water.
This is the first time Wu Qingce has heard of someone like Qu Yangze who can stay underwater all the time.
At this moment, Wu Qingce's sense of crisis suddenly became very strong. He saw that each of his senior apprentices was more talented than the last. In comparison, he was simply a mediocre spokesperson.
While Wu Qingce was thinking about how to maintain his majestic image as the founding disciple, Gu Qinghuan was slowly explaining what Qu Yangze needed to do later.
It wasn't until noon that Gu Qinghuan's surprise teaching came to an end.
"The speed of the water flow, the temperature of the water, the sand content..."
Qu Yangze picked up his fingers and counted down the things he needed to do later.
"Senior Brother Gu... I'm worried that I won't be able to report the data you mentioned accurately."
Although Gu Qinghuan had just given Qu Zeyang a hand-by-hand test of what water at various temperatures felt like, Qu Yangze felt that he did not remember it completely.
"It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you remember that feeling. At the beginning of next month, you just need to tell me whether the situation in the water has changed."
"Okay, I understand." Qu Yangze nodded.
"Well, then you should try to investigate first, and be careful."
"yes!"
After Qu Yangze finished speaking, he plunged into the creek.
After a long time, the three people who had not seen Qu Yangze surface at all nodded at the same time, confirming that Qu Yangze was indeed qualified for this investigation.
Looking back, Gu Qinghuan looked at Luo Wenzhou and asked, "Junior Brother Luo, what have you found out these days?"
Hearing Gu Qinghuan's question, Luo Wenzhou came back to his senses and replied: "I found out that this Grand Canyon was originally the sphere of influence of the Chiyun Sect, but the Chiyun Sect has been eliminated as a rebel party, and now there are no new sects.
Maybe the demonic cult forces have settled in, and it will be regarded as a terra incognita for the time being."
"That's good news." Gu Qinghuan nodded.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that the four of them are not strong dragons at all. Therefore, if you want to find treasures on other people's territory, you must take care of all aspects.
Otherwise, if the vision mentioned by the senior brother at the beginning of the month is very conspicuous, it will inevitably attract the owner here.
Now that the Grand Canyon is temporarily an unclaimed land, this trouble is naturally avoided.
"Now the largest force near the Grand Canyon should be Huojiazhuang in the north. The owner of the family is named Huo Hezheng. He is a seventh-level great mystic master. Originally, the strength behind their family was the Chiyun Sect. The Chiyun Sect
When they left, they did not follow him, but turned around and surrendered to the Feihu Sect."
"Oh, the Feihu Sect is about fifty miles away from here, and is the sect closest to the Denjin Grand Canyon. When the Good Demon Conference is over, there is a high probability that the Denjin Grand Canyon will be included in their sphere of influence."
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "Let's find a way to arrange a few informants in Huojiazhuang. If they also discover the strange phenomenon by then, they can prepare early and try not to cause any trouble to senior brother."
"Senior brother Gu, don't worry. I have already arranged the informant, and I guarantee that the news will be spread on time."
"Okay, then let's arrange the detailed plan for the next step..."
…
Ningdu, Imperial Palace, Jiang Beiran was sitting in the study, reviewing the memorial that Mu Yao had just approved.
"Well, everything was handled very well." Jiang Beiran put down the book in his hand and praised.
Hearing the praise, Mu Yao couldn't help but cheered up inwardly, but on the surface she raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, don't you plan to let me approve all memorials in the future? Do you want to be a hands-off emperor?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran raised his eyes and said, "What, you're not happy?"
"Uh..." Mu Yao was suddenly stuck. She believed that as long as she showed that she found it troublesome, the emperor would immediately replace her.
"It's not a question of whether you are happy or not, I want to say..."
"If you don't like it, you won't come to change it tomorrow. I'll..."
"No, no, no! I'm happy! I'm happy!" Mu Yao waved her hands.
From the fact that she gave up her practice and read books with Jiang Beiran for two months, it can be seen that she is really passionate about court matters, or that she really wants to help thousands of people escape from suffering.
Therefore, when correcting memorials, whenever she saw that the grain depots in such-and-such a county were full and that a certain village had survived a famine, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart and enjoyed it, as if she had also contributed.
How could she be willing to be replaced in such a state?
"Oh, as long as you're happy, is there anything else?"
Although Mu Yao still wanted to say that the emperor Jiang Beiran's visits to the palace had obviously decreased recently, her words still turned into "No... not anymore."
After all, even if the emperor is away, the government and the public are still in good order. It can be said that every official is fulfilling his duties and cooperating with each other. There is no such thing as the emperor making the final decision when it comes to the court.
Thinking of this, Mu Yao couldn't help but take a peek at the emperor who was writing with good handwriting as usual. She really couldn't understand why he could select such a group of loyal ministers and good ministers from so many ministers in just a few months.
, simply incredible.
But for Mu Yao, this is just one of the countless mysteries surrounding Jiang Beiran, and it can be said to be quite inconspicuous.
"What are you looking at me doing? Are you busy?" Jiang Beiran looked up at Mu Yao and asked.
When she was caught peeping, Mu Yao's face turned red and hesitantly said: "I...I have something to ask of the Emperor."
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, can you teach me how to write? I have gained a lot of knowledge in recent days, and I also want to annotate some books."
"I won't teach you." Jiang Beiran replied without raising his head.
As if she had expected to be rejected outright, Mu Yao was not angry and directly took out a very special silver mirror from the Qiankun Ring and showed it to Jiang Beiran.
This mirror is hexagonal in shape, with flame patterns on the surface and flames burning at the six corners. However, the edge of the mirror gives Jiang Beiran a cold feeling, which is really magical.
Jiang Beiran, who felt the extraordinary quality of the silver mirror, asked: "What is this?"
"The ice silver ring is made from ice crystals that Master Hongyun took out from a huge stone. It can revive the dead and give birth to bones. It is a very powerful yellow-level top-grade magic weapon."
"The living dead, giving birth to white bones?" Jiang Beiran looked at the ice silver ring, and felt that since it was a yellow-level magic weapon, this should not be an exaggeration, so he asked: "How can the living dead give birth to white bones?"
Mu Yao shook the ice silver ring twice proudly, and replied: "The six corners of this ice silver ring are all burning with soul fire. If you encounter a person who has just died, these six groups of soul fire can save him from the gate of hell."
Pull it back."
‘What the hell!?’
Jiang Beiran was shocked to hear that this ice silver ring could really bring people back to life. He thought it was an exaggerated statement that as long as he took a breath, he could be revived, but he didn't expect that it could really bring the dead back to life.
"It can resurrect the dead. Is such a treasure just a top-grade yellow treasure?" Jiang Beiran couldn't help but ask.
Hearing that the emperor asked the same question as herself, Mu Yao couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, sighing in her heart that there was no difference between the emperor and herself.
With a slight cough, Mu Yao replied: "The reason why the Ice Silver Ring is a yellow-level magic weapon is because it cannot definitely save people."
"In other words... is it possible to be saved, or is it possible not to be saved?"
"Yes."
"Then what is the probability of being saved?"
"I don't know. It will take a long time for the soul fire on this ice silver ring to be rekindled after one use. I'm not luxurious enough to experiment without listening."
"So has it saved anyone's life?"
"My eldest father said that he saved one person, but I don't know if it was because the soul fire burned his consciousness. After he came back to life, that person became a little crazy, and his cultivation level also dropped by several levels."
'Good guy... He has only saved one person in total, and he is also crazy. No wonder he is classified as a yellow-level magic weapon.'
But no matter what, this is a magic weapon that can save lives. As long as you can survive, there is still hope for everything. After all, nothing is really lost after death.
"Is it for me?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Well, I promised you before that as long as you teach me the emperor's art, I will ask daddy to help you get a yellow-level magic weapon. I didn't lie to you!"
“Very trustworthy indeed.”
"That's~" Mu Yao shook her hair proudly and handed the ice silver ring to Jiang Beiran.
He stretched out his hand and took the ice silver ring. After looking closely, Jiang Beiran tightened it into the Qiankun Ring.
"So can you teach me how to write now?"
"cannot."
"I have given you such a good magic weapon! What if you teach me how to write!"
"I've been very busy lately, so I don't have time."
"Then...what if I give you another yellow-level magic weapon?"
"That's okay." Jiang Beiran nodded immediately.
"Why are you so realistic?"
"Yeah, I'm just so realistic." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"But if it's just about writing, I'm so at a loss. You have to teach me something else!"
"What else do you want to learn?"
"Learn..." Mu Yao blinked and thought hard, then suddenly stretched out a finger and said: "Teach me the skills!"
"Kung Fu? Don't you have your big daddy?"
After hearing this, Mu Yao couldn't help but look at Jiang Beiran, but she still didn't say the words in her heart, "I'm not sure whether daddy is as good as you or not" in her heart.
"There's nothing wrong with learning more! You subdued that mysterious spirit with one move last time, and I just want to learn that!"
Listening to Mu Yao's request, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel doubtful.
‘There’s no option to jump to?’
This made Jiang Beiran look at Mu Yao strangely.
Not only can he safely obtain the magic weapon from her now, but now he doesn't even have to teach her the exercises?
