Chapter 364: The sun shines on Jinshan, and the mystery of the mine
"Brother Qingji, it has only been eight days since Taoist Qingsu left the camp. Maybe she is still looking for clues. Why is she so anxious?"
It had only been eight days, and Taoist Aunt Qingsu was not a giant baby from a large sect, so she really would not have rushed to send people to look for him.
You are already a monk at the Golden Core stage, but you are still worried about people getting lost?
Taoist Qingji knew this, but out of concern for his junior sister, he still lowered his face and continued to ask Lin Shan to come.
This was completely different from what Lin Shan saw when he first arrived.
At that time, Taoist Aunt Qingsu was as clingy as a little girl, and Taoist Qingji was completely unmoved and aloof, but now she is worried like this after not seeing her for only eight days!
So where did you send them in the first place?
But to be honest, if it were Taoist Aunt Qingsu who went to Yuzi Creek, she would definitely be ambushed and beaten by Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu, who would not even recognize her.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, the reaction on the soul lamp cannot be faked. There is probably an accident happening there. I know that your strength is by no means as simple as that of the early Jindan stage. This time, you can defeat the evil spirits and the ten real people of the Jindan stage who join forces will probably be even better. It’s up to me, I think everything will be safe if you’re here to take care of me!”
"Don't, don't say that, I don't have the ability."
Lin Shan waved his hand quickly, knowing that he had used the God-Slaying Flying Knife to take them by surprise and cut the souls of the two groups of people, forcing them to retreat temporarily.
If he really had to face the siege of two sworn brothers, Jiuyou Young Master and Zhong Shenxiu, plus a bunch of Zhengmo and Jindan masters, he really was no match!
It is important for people to be self-aware. I am just a newcomer who has just broken through the golden elixir stage and does not have the magic weapon of my life.
"Brother Qingji, Junior Sister Ling is also a master of the middle stage of Jindan. Her strength is definitely no less than mine. If she encounters trouble that she can't handle, I probably won't be able to do anything about it. It would be better for you to go there in person. .”
Lin Shan didn't know what happened at Gangka Snow Peak. The Demonic Camp was destroyed overnight and all members were missing. Now Taoist Aunt Qingsu has not returned, which is weird in itself.
And he himself, even though his strength has greatly increased now, does not dare to do anything he is not sure about casually.
After all, the natal soul treasure has not been refined yet, Thunder Otter has just been contracted by himself and has not yet been able to regain his strength, and the Black Skeleton Demon King is refining weapons for himself in his hometown of Lu State. The helpers are temporarily busy, which is exactly what he needs to hibernate. when.
And because he has broken through to the Golden Elixir stage, the Golden Elixir Avenue and the Soul Elixir Avenue are level again, which means that he can use the soul source to once again improve his soul path cultivation without worrying about backlash.
Wouldn't it be better to find a quiet place first and practice steadily for a while?
I have found the Xingyuan module for you, and you still ask me to continue working non-stop. This is too much!
None of the donkeys in the production team are used like this!
Taoist Qingji looked helpless, there were too few people available at Qingyang Peak.
The Peak Master and Taoist Qingyan need to study the warships of the demons from outside the world, and they have to guard the entrance to the Void Passage. Junior Sister Qingsu has fallen into Gangka Snow Peak. Currently, they can only place their hopes on a trip to Linshan.
As for the barbarian tribesmen, they had second thoughts, so he didn't dare to count on them.
Lin Shan didn't want to go at this juncture, but he couldn't bear Taoist Qingji's repeated requests.
He knew very well that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Qingyang Peak, he couldn't break up with these Jindan masters, otherwise if something happened to Taoist Aunt Qingsu, it might have a negative impact on him in the future.
"Then Lin will go ahead and do it, but I have agreed in advance that if we encounter a life-and-death crisis and know that we cannot do anything, I'm afraid."
"Easy to say, easy to say. Of course the veteran can understand. I just hope that I can help my junior sister if I can. If it is really impossible to do, then come back and let me know quickly, and I will take action personally."
Taoist Qingji bowed his head to Lin Shan for the first time, which made him feel extremely stressed.
I just sneaked in to leave Xiaoyizhou, not to care about you guys' stupid love affairs.
If I had no other choice, I would have left long ago!
Lin Shan felt very depressed. These people from the big sects were really annoying. They were already so old and still engaged in such a bloody love triangle. But in the end, I was the one who was in trouble.
Is it possible to let an outsider be the captain of the fire fighting brigade for you?
Could it be that Taoist Aunt Qingsu is really the giant baby that your senior brothers have loved since childhood?
"It's only been eight days, and I'm rushing to pick him up. He must be sick."
When Lin Shan came out, he was full of complaints and curses in his heart, but he didn't hesitate at all. He turned into a rainbow of wind and thunder and disappeared from the sky.
Below, Deacon Wu and others looked up at him as he walked away. They didn’t know whether they should follow him. After all, this group of people was temporarily under Lin Shan’s command. However, because they were not recruited and Lin Shan disappeared too quickly, they had no choice but to stay. There was no movement at the camp.
They had just fought two battles with good and evil forces and barbarian tribes, and they also wanted to take a break.
Lin Shan did not slack off along the way, and it took only a day and a half to reach a plateau mountain range.
Ahead, a huge snow peak stood quietly.
Gangshika Snow Peak.
It's called Gangka Snow Peak for short. I don't know who gave this name. It was probably someone from Xiaoyizhou who discovered this place.
This snow-capped mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and is about three thousand feet high.
Basically, at more than half the altitude, which is about 5,000 meters above sea level, it will be covered with snow all year round.
The mountain is covered with deep carvings of time, and there are not only all kinds of strange-shaped rocks, but also cedar trees that are tough and tenacious in the wind and snow, making the majestic and majestic place feel small.
The white peaks sparkle in the sunlight, giving it a sense of salvation for all sentient beings.
"Rizhao Jinshan!"
Lin Shan looked at this wonder of heaven and earth and couldn't help but stop and admire it for a while.
At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the golden light is shining down, and the silver-white snow peaks have turned into a golden piece, which is so beautiful and beautiful.
It's just that no matter how good the beautiful scenery is, it only lasts for about a quarter of an hour and is fleeting.
According to legend in previous lives, those who can see the golden mountains under the sun will be lucky for a whole year.
"Then why is Taoist Aunt Qingsu so unlucky that she fell into trouble right after arriving?"
The Snow Peak Camp is located at about 5,200 meters, almost below the snow line. When the Demonic Dao established the camp, it seemed that they considered using mortals or livestock to explore the way, so they did not build it too high.
Let the cannon fodder get used to it, so as not to rebel as soon as they come up.
Lin Shan fell around the camp and went down to investigate.
It was found that most of them had decayed and rotted away, leaving only a few fence facilities still surviving.
It seems to be no different from what the intelligence said, and it should be caused by the invasion of evil spirits.
"What evil spirit can directly destroy a camp of immortal cultivators?"
As Lin Shan walked among them, he could see corpses everywhere on the ground. Only clothes and storage bags were blown away by the strong wind on the mountain, or were corroded by the evil spirit. They were basically missing.
He doesn't care about the worth of these minions, he just wants to investigate the real cause of death here.
"Logically speaking, the Demonic Camp was completely wiped out. Shouldn't the Xiaoyizhou Demonic Alliance be the first to send people to investigate? Why are there no people there?"
Lin Shan frowned and stopped to watch, puzzled.
And similarly, when Taoist Aunt Qingsu came here, she should have come to the camp to check it out as soon as possible.
So what clues did she find, where did she go, and why there was no news for so many days. The key is that Taoist Qingji said that her soul lamp suddenly became weak, which makes people wonder.
The flame on the soul lamp is weak, reflecting that there are actually many situations in reality.
It is possible to be seriously injured when you are in danger. It is also possible to be isolated in a special secret realm, or there is interference from special formations around you. Or your soul may be temporarily suppressed and banned, or you may even be trapped in an illusion and be lost for a long time< br>
There are too many situations, and the devil knows what kind Taoist Qingsu has encountered.
But no matter which one, Lin Shan also felt a headache.
He didn't find any clues at the camp, so he had no choice but to fly back to the sky and circle the snowy peaks up and down a few more times.
At this time, there was a strong wind and heavy snow floating around for no reason. In an instant, my eyes were covered with goose feather-like snow flakes, falling densely.
One moment the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly on the mountains, but the next moment the weather changed at the drop of a hat. As a real person in the Jindan stage, Lin Shan will naturally not be affected by the weather and will still turn into a rainbow in the wind and snow.
However, the snow was so heavy that even if there were any traces, they would have been buried under the heavy snow, making it impossible to investigate.
"It's the same here every day, so how can anyone check it?"
He had no choice but to take out the Lingbao and try to look at both macro and micro aspects to see if he could find some direction.
The mountains on the virtual star disk are undulating, the clouds are gathering, the water vapor is diffuse, the wind is blowing, and the snowflakes are falling, all showing the nearby mountains, rivers, landforms, meteorology and hydrology.
It's just like the outside world, it's the same here, but you can zoom in and out at will, making it easier to view.
Even though he is not a Feng Shui master, he still has Xiaoxin, the tool spirit, to help him.
After searching for a long time, I finally found something wrong.
There seems to be a hole underneath the ground somewhere, and there is a black line moving slowly. Of course, this is not very realistic because it is similar to a sand table or thermal imaging, so I can only go down and see it for myself.
"Gone!"
Lin Shan made a turn, and flew behind the snow-capped mountains with the virtual astrolabe in his arms. He lingered at an altitude of seven thousand meters for a long time, and then decisively picked the right spot to take action one after another.
"Bang bang bang!"
This immediately triggered a series of avalanches, with one place collapsing and others collapsing, and no one from the top to the mountainside was spared.
During the collapse, a hole loomed.
Lin Shan rushed in without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the cave, a gust of cold wind hit him instantly, making him shiver with chills all over his body.
He turned the mana aside in his body and managed to get rid of the cold.
At the same time, the Nine-turn Golden Body Art is running, and the masculine energy is permeated, so it is not affected.
The avalanche outside the cave continued behind him. He collected the virtual star disk and strode inside.
As we went deeper, the cold wind and chill became stronger, and there were more and more bones on the road.
After investigation, it was found that he died between half a month and a month ago.
He must be someone from the Demonic Camp.
It's just that most of them are mortals without cultivation, and only a few are monks.
Lin Shan could tell that most of them died at the same time and without any preparation.
And this place was probably not as bad as it is now. Even he was affected. These mortals probably died suddenly as soon as they entered the cave.
It should be that something was triggered later that caused the evil spirit to sweep through, leading to the current situation.
About a few hundred steps or so.
At the end of the road ahead, it turned sharply downward, leaving only a vertical tunnel that was five feet in diameter and bottomless.
There is a sling driven to the side and tied to the side. It is extended and lowered so that you can't see the side at a glance.
The cold wind came from under the pit.
Lin Shan didn't need to climb the rope to slide down, he just jumped into the tunnel.
The wind whistled by his ears, and he silently counted the depths in his mind.
Wuli,
Ten miles,
Fifteen miles,
Twenty miles,
I suddenly took a look in the middle of the road and found something hanging in the middle of the road, it seemed like.
elevator?
Um?
He slowed down his descent and observed carefully, he found that on the wall side of the vertical passage, there were indeed traces of the elevator shaft, guide rails, and cables. However, due to the age and the erosion of evil spirits, they had almost disappeared, leaving only Some residue.
After almost twenty-five miles of descent, my heels hit the ground.
It’s over.
The outside of the target should be just below the foundation of the snow peak.
The dampness and coldness are getting worse here, the chill is pressing, and the evil spirit is already visible to the naked eye, like wisps of willow catkins floating in front of our eyes.
Lin Shan had to activate the second level of magic body, Xiaying Golden Body.
Ahead was a two-foot-high tunnel, wide and open, with bones lying on both sides.
It's just that these bones are all black and almost rotten.
On his way inward, he even discovered the remains of earth drills, excavators, loaders, crushers, conveyor belts and other equipment.
Everything shows that this is the mining equipment left behind by the evil spirits from the outside world.
So how did the Demonic Alliance discover that there was a mining pit for mining of demonic ore that was once hidden deep here?
Lin Shan doesn't quite understand, but there are always strange people and strange things in this world. If he can't discover them by himself, it doesn't mean that others can't.
As he went deeper, he even saw vibrating screens used to classify and screen ores;
Dump trucks can transport ore to designated processing locations;
Dust collector to remove dust generated during ore processing;
Water supply and drainage equipment, used for mine drainage and water supply;
Exhaust air boosting system for mine ventilation and air pressure regulation;
With a complete industrial chain, one can only imagine how crazy the extraterrestrial civilization was back then. The uncontrolled and destructive mining of cultivation world spirit minerals was simply insane.
Lin Shan picked up a small piece of ore on the roadside, and the reinforced panel helped him identify it:
【Evil Stone】
Quality: Second-level spiritual material
Introduction: Commonly found on evil pits in the earth's crust, it can effectively dilute and dissolve evil spirits, and has good air tightness.
Strengthening requirements: 16 points
How could Lin Shan not understand that the ore veins together formed a natural safety barrier to prevent the spread of evil energy in the earth's crust.
At the same time, because of its good air tightness, it was favored by evil spirits from outside the world.
In order to plunder this material, the aliens of the Zeta civilization simply invested a lot of manpower and material resources and concentrated equipment to violently mine it, regardless of what they would do if the earth evil below erupted.
The people of the Demonic Alliance were also stubborn. After discovering this ruins, they also set up a camp to prepare for mining, but the result was tragic.
He went several miles deeper, and the concentration of the evil spirit increased to another level, and he was forced to activate the third level of the body, the star body.
At the same time, he also saw a trace of the battle.
After some exploration, judging from the damage at the post-war scene, both warring parties should be at the Golden Elixir stage!
Lin Shan keenly discovered that there was the aura left behind by Taoist Qingsu!
