Lou Xiaoyi went to the East China Sea this time and still did not use the teleportation array. He was naturally uneasy about this thing. Even for a moment, the feeling of being unable to control himself made him uncomfortable. This is the inevitable feeling of every monk with a desire to control.
, and he is not alone.
This time we were familiar with the road, and we didn’t bring the big-billed heron with us. We just traveled straight ahead, and our speed was not a fraction faster than last time. It only took more than two months, and we were close to the East China Sea.
However, this time he was doing his own personal business and needed to keep it secret. He couldn't be as arrogant as last time. So after he was thousands of miles away from the coast of the East China Sea, he used the Shen Lian technique that had been practiced to perfection, and then put on the Wei Jian Shan Wangding to send him off.
The straw hat turned into a foundation-building cultivator, mixed in with countless offshore foundation-building monks, and was an unsolvable intrusion on the huge East China Sea coast.
The East China Sea was still somewhat familiar to him, but the first thing he had to do was to fulfill Nan Zhenren's instructions and go see the hidden stake first.
Lou Xiaoyi also considered whether to act alone without leaving any traces. But he quickly gave up this idea. The absence of the hidden stake showed his distrust of Nan Zhenren. After being in Xuanyuan for so long, whether it was Wuhuan or
Xiaoshan, he really has no reason to distrust his master. This is a mark carved by time. He now regards himself as a real sword cultivator.
Being alone is a character, trust is the cornerstone! There is no conflict!
The name of the secret stake given by Master Nan this time is different from the last time, and the level of confidentiality is obviously higher. Even Master Nan can trust him, but he can't trust others?
It took him more than ten days to make the connection, but it was just a backup, a temporary place to stay in case of emergency.
He did not reveal his true purpose, and no one asked him. This is the most basic common sense when operating in a foreign land.
...On this day, a strange Taoist came to Fengshou Town outside Qianji Valley, wearing a straw hat and covered with dust.
Fengshou Town is the closest mortal town to Qianji Valley. There are many shops and markets in the town, and most of them are based on elixirs. The so-called dependence on mountains and water, what else can you eat if you rely on Qianji Valley?
elixirs, and everything related to alchemy, including various rare herbs and spiritual plants,
The cultivation environment of Donghai people is stronger than that of other states. The residents of the town are not surprised by the monks coming and going. People like Lou Xiaoyi, how could there not be dozens and dozens of people here one day? They all come to seek elixirs.
Let the business in Fengshou Town, even the mortal business, be extremely prosperous.
Lou Xiaoyi stayed here for several days, ostensibly going to various shops every day to pick and choose. In fact, his mind was not on this, but on carefully observing the ground veins and making final preparations for the next action.
A few days later, he left Fengshou Town and continued to advance towards Qianji Valley. At this time, he needed to be careful; Qianji Valley had been under the trusteeship of the Five Elements Sect for several years and was in a period of great waste. The individuals and forces from the surrounding areas who came here to sneak around were still there.
It hasn't completely stopped, and it is quite strict in terms of defensive patrols.
Lou Xiaoyi relied on his amazing mental power to detect the arrival of the monks in advance, so the journey was smooth. However, this situation became unsustainable after being more than ten miles away from Qianji Valley. There was a warning tower recently deployed by the Five Elements Sect.
Although the array had not been set up for a long time and was still a bit rough, Lou Xiaoyi did not want to take risks.
He has a better way in!
He carefully crouched down in a ditch outside the security circle, carefully confirmed that there were no traces of people around, took out the strange stone core and held it in his hand, silently using the soil to escape, and his whole body gradually sank into the soil and disappeared.
Earth Escape is the most difficult of the Five Element Escapes and is very difficult to master.
The so-called Five Elements Escape actually does not completely refer to escape techniques in five different attribute media, but refers to the Five Elements attributes of the surrounding environment, which are determined by the strength of the Five Elements attributes in the environment. For example, in a forest, there are many wood attributes. In some areas, it is very advantageous to use Wood Escape; in desert lava terrain, where there are more fire attributes, Fire Escape should be used.
It doesn't exactly mean that fire escape means escaping in fire, and wood escape means drilling holes in wood; but there are also unexpected situations, such as being in water, which is completely comparable to water escape ability, and another example is drilling into the soil. !
Lou Xiaoyi's Five Elements ability is at the stage of being a master at best, and the extent of what he can achieve is very limited. He cannot replace his main escape method - Star Escape, in terms of escape, nor can he replace his mature swordsmanship in battle. The system, at most, exists as a subsidy.
As far as earth escape is concerned, purely relying on his own ability, he can only sink into the earth about ten feet and squeeze forward slowly. This is only if the local soil is not too hard.
Although Qianji Valley is not big, it is still hundreds of miles away. He wanted to dive to the location of the strange stone pillars. Even if he did not consider the obstruction of the rock layers along the way, his speed would probably last several years! Because the dive was shallow, it was still difficult for him to dive. Very easy to be noticed.
But if there is the help of Qishitexin, everything will be different.
This thing can guide him to a path with the softest soil, greatly improve his ability to escape from the earth, and can also help him conceal his own inspiration, because in Qianji Valley, strange stones are the real masters, and they have been planted here for tens of thousands of years. The strange stone has long been integrated with this land. It can not only control the ground veins of hundreds of miles in Qianji Valley, but if it is willing, it can even extend its influence to thousands of miles away.
This is the benefit An Chaodong told him!
He is not here to cause destruction! There is no monk goal, and there is no regional goal. Destroying Qianji Valley and making it impossible to plant it has no meaning to him or Xuanyuan.
After Old Man Huang's words, he understood some truths. There is no shame in borrowing foreign objects. Everyone is borrowing, just in different ways; you can't say that borrowing nature, borrowing the environment, borrowing the state of mind, borrowing the stars, these ethereal things are high-end and high-end. , and borrowing specific objects is shameful and vulgar, so that the final result is inferior to others.
It doesn’t matter how you borrow or what you borrow, as long as you achieve the purpose, they are all the same five elements! There is no falsehood that the five elements I understand with the help of artifacts are better than the five elements you enlightened overnight. They are all basic principles of nature, and there is no superiority or inferiority. divided.
He came here, as An Chaodong said to him, just to use the movement of the Five Elements in strange stones to enhance his understanding of the Five Elements. The Five Elements cannot be thought of by relying on blind imagination. It is just talk on paper. Only close experience of the Five Elements Only through these changes can we most truly understand the mysterious principles of the transformation of the Five Elements.
The great world of Qingkong is a stable and balanced realm. It takes a long time and there can be no drastic changes for his reference. Under normal circumstances, monks can only spend time and figure out the basic principles of the Five Elements through long-term observation; Qianji The good thing about the valley is that Old Fox An Chaodong destroyed 30% of the five elements of the earth in the valley. To repair it, it must be operated, and the rare secrets of the five elements will be revealed in the operation!
