Chapter 66 Dongxian (4,000 words update)
The tree hole is very small, and the space inside can only accommodate one adult.
Kong Jin entered it and crossed his legs, just filling the space inside.
Then Kong Ji moved some dead branches and leaves and sealed the hole before entering the tree hole.
"Although it cannot protect you, it can at least confuse you a little bit." Looking at the sealed tree hole entrance, Kong Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
Coupled with his Guanghan Taiyin Meridian's ability to conceal his aura, ordinary monks cannot detect him.
After doing all this, Kong Ji closed his eyes tightly and started practicing with his legs crossed in the cave.
Of course the rest he was talking about did not mean sleeping. He finally had some free time, so he naturally had to use it to consolidate his cultivation.
The battle with Dou Xiao a few days ago made him gain a lot, and his cultivation had already improved to a certain extent.
He also absorbed Dou Xiao’s human spirit essence, and his cultivation level skyrocketed.
I should have found a place to consolidate my cultivation long ago, but I have been thinking about my two teammates and haven't stopped yet.
I am taking a break now to consolidate my current state.
As Kong Ji's breathing gradually became calmer, the spiritual energy in his body slowly began to circulate according to the trajectory of the Guanghan Taiyin Meridian.
The crescent mark on the forehead appears at the right time.
Because the top of the tree hole is hollow, the position where Kong Geng sits cross-legged can just receive the moonlight.
Under the moonlight, something seemed to be resurrected in the moon wheel seal. It was hidden in the moon wheel seal and began to swallow the moonlight on its own.
Little bits of brilliance float in the space inside the tree hole, like stars.
It’s just that these fenugreeks are no longer visible.
He sat like this for the whole night.
The gains gained over the past few days were finally consolidated in one night and turned into a complete improvement in Kong Fu's realm.
When he opened his eyes, he revealed that his aura had become nearly 50% stronger than before the battlefield in Belling County.
"I feel like I'm about to reach the peak of the five realms of nourishing the wheel." Feeling the spiritual power flowing thickly in the meridians, Kong Ji's eyes were bright.
It has only been less than three months since he broke through the fifth realm of Yanglun, and now his spiritual power is about to reach the peak of this realm again.
You only need to retreat for two or three months before you can try to break through the six realms of Yanglun.
At this speed, there is probably no one faster than him in the entire outer sect.
Of course, the reason why he was so fast is inseparable from the fact that he absorbed Dou Xiao's human spirit essence.
Although Kong Xian doesn’t know the reason, his moon wheel has the ability to refine the essence of human spirit and transform it into his own cultivation.
But it’s a good thing.
He is even considering the plan to improve his cultivation by hunting down those monks who have absorbed the essence of human spirits.
But this idea was quickly thrown out of his mind.
"It's just that the number of Blood-clothed Alliance monks who have absorbed the essence of human souls is too small. Even if there are, most of them are concentrated in the seventh level of Yanglun and above. It's hard to kill them."
When I think of that Dou Xiao, I still feel sad. Injured.
It would take a lot of effort to kill him.
If you encounter someone in peak condition, even if you can kill him, you will probably win by a narrow margin.
Kong Jiang did not have the terrible luck of Shangguan Yuzhou.
If the boat capsizes in the gutter, the gain will outweigh the loss.
“It’s too dangerous, it’s better not to think about this.”
Kong Jin shook his head and stopped thinking about this problem.
After thinking about it, Kong Ji raised his hands above his head and stretched hard.
He had no intention of walking out of the tree hole immediately.
Instead, he took out a storage bag, fumbled around inside, and took out a worn-out sheepskin map.
Confucius can see the use of other things.
As for this kind of sheepskin map, I don’t see much of it, but it must have some tricks to be able to be put into the storage bag by Dou Xiao, who has the blessing of luck.
After getting it, Kong Jiang, who was in a hurry, did not have time to study it carefully, so he threw it into the storage bag.
Now that I have some free time, I am not in a hurry, so I spread the sheepskin on my knees.
With the help of the morning sunlight reflected from the top of the tree hole, Kong Zhen's eyes carefully wandered over the sheepskin that was so blurred that the color could not be seen clearly.
Fingers followed the gaze and stroked the parchment.
The texture of the sheepskin is very dry and hard, and I don’t know if it took too long to make.
It feels obviously rough to the touch.
Soon his brows furrowed.
Except for the outlines of some routes that can be clearly seen, other patterns on the map have been worn away by time.
The only clear part is the outline of a pattern similar to the upper body of a bird on the edge of the lower right corner of the map.
“I really want to see this bird somewhere!” Kongji suddenly felt that the bird pattern was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen it.
Gently rubbing his temples with his fingers, Kong Ji’s eyes soon lit up.
"There should be a book in the miscellaneous library that records this pattern. I have read it, but I was so anxious at the time that it passed by in a flash." Under Kong Xian's efforts to recall, he even remembered the book The name of the book.
""Dongsang Travel Notes""
It is a miscellaneous book, and it is quite old. It records in detail the distribution of sects and the area under their control in the Wudong area at that time.
At that time, Wudong was not called Wudong, but Dongsang.
As for the description of the bird pattern, Kong Ji couldn't remember it for a while.
But it doesn’t matter. He can go back to the Cangwu Sect Library and borrow the book to study it.
"The bird pattern shouldn't be a treasure map, but it doesn't matter. When you travel to Wudong in the future, you can stop by and see what it is that makes people go to such trouble to record it on this parchment."
With a plan in mind, Kong Ji slowly put away the parchment scroll.
No longer staying.
Carefully push away the fallen leaves and branches at the entrance of the tree hole and walk out.
It happened to be a bright sunny day outside, and the light shone through the gaps between the trees at the door of the tree cave, and cast little bits of light on the cyan outer disciple's robe worn by Kong Ji.
Suddenly, Kong Ji stretched his head and looked around to identify the direction he was going to go next.
His neck turned to the left and stiffened.
My eyes looked strangely at the moss-covered land less than a foot in front of the tree hole.
There were people using fruit cores and dead branches to draw a pattern similar to a map.
Even a small branch with green leaves was used as the tree hole where Kong is now.
Judging from the direction in which the fruit core is placed, it should represent Belling County and Xiangming County.
As for the end point of this map, a small boat was folded out of paper and placed in one direction of the map.
The person who drew this map had an obvious meaning.
It was just those childish strokes that looked like a child’s graffiti, which made Kong Chi’s face twitch.
The painter seems reluctant to show up, but the familiar faint fragrance still lingers in the surrounding air.
Her identity is about to come out.
Kong Chi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw such a cover-up. He knew that the girl was nearby.
But for some reason, I couldn't show up, so I could only use the map to guide me.
Then it will be difficult for you to expose it yourself.
After a slight hesitation, he had an idea, and his exaggerated tone sounded in the forest. "Ah! Could this paper boat be Shangguan Yuzhou? Which senior will give me guidance? This map is drawn like clouds and flowing water, and the writing is like clouds and smoke. She must be a peerless beauty."
“Could it be that a fairy descended to earth?”
“Since the fairy has given me guidance, I can’t delay too much. I will go find Brother Shangguan right now.”
……
After saying that, the exaggerated expression on Kong Ji's face suddenly subsided and returned to normal.
He walked in the direction of the map without looking back.
The tea time is over.
Huangfu Wuqin walked out from behind the tree where he was hiding with a satisfied expression, looked at the direction Kong Xiang left, and gave his evaluation seriously in a light voice.
"I didn't expect that this Junior Brother Kong not only has excellent understanding, but also has such a vicious vision. He will definitely be the mainstay of our Cangwu Sect in the future."
As for why Huangfu Wuqin pays attention to Kong Geng.
Of course she has her reasons,
Even the seniors of the Cangwu Sect who are in the wheel-raising realm, there is something about them that they cannot hide from her eyes.
Only for Kong Zhen, when Huangfu Wuqin used her eyesight for the first time, she felt that she could not see through his sea of consciousness at all, as if there was a curtain similar to the night sky that blocked her eyesight.
Of course, this is not the reason why I took action to guide Kong Jiang.
"If we don't go through, Shangguan Yuzhou will die. If there weren't so many swordsmen in the inner and outer sects, I wouldn't care if just one fell into the eyes of Uncle Dongxian."
When Kong Xi arrived at the location marked on Huangfu Wuqin's map, it was already midnight in the afternoon.
After half a day's rush, crossing hundreds of miles of mountain roads, a messy depression appeared in his field of vision.
The depression covers an area of approximately two to three miles.
This place was originally supposed to be an environment of lush vegetation, but now there is an area where the vegetation has been destroyed by some force and is overwhelming.
Broken wood and branches covered the ground in the depression.
There are two more auras remaining in it.
A sharp sword energy and a stench full of blood.
It looks like a scene that has experienced a war.
Standing on the edge of the depression, Kong Xian looked at the destroyed area, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"The aura of this sword energy comes from the hands of Senior Brother Shangguan, and it is definitely not fake. To be able to force him to this point, I think he has encountered a strong enemy, so don't let anything happen." After silently chanting, Kong Geng jumped into the depression and rushed towards the center of the area where countless vegetation had been cut down.
As he got closer, Kong Jiang saw some blood stains remaining at the scene.
This made him even more uneasy, and he immediately started searching along the traces of blood.
In a pile of branches and leaves, a corpse was found.
He was wearing bloody clothes, his face was already bloody, and his body was covered with dense sword marks.
The fatal blow was on his chest. The wound was deeply visible, and the internal organs and bones inside could still be vaguely seen.
From the long-coagulated flesh and blood, Kong Ji sensed Shangguan Yuzhou's sword energy that had not yet dissipated.
"Yang Lun Seventh Realm is indeed a formidable enemy, and Senior Brother Shangguan can actually kill him." Looking at the body of the Blood Clothes Alliance disciple, Kong Xian's words were a little unbelievable.
His ability to kill Dou Xiao was all due to the blessing of the Moon Wheel Seal, which forcibly raised his cultivation level to the Sixth Level of Yanglun.
Cooperating with the domineering spirit of frost and snow, it succeeded.
But Shangguan Yuzhou, who had not yet received the spirit nourishing spirit wheel, was able to kill a person in the seventh level of Yanglun with his cultivation level of the fifth level of Yanglun. This really shocked Kong Jiang.
But it seems that after Shangguan Yuzhou killed this Blood Clothes Alliance disciple, he himself was not having a good time.
Among the blood stains remaining at the scene, there was obviously some blood stains belonging to the second person, and the red color was almost sprinkled all over the surrounding area.
"The corpse has started to stink, at least for three days." Kong Xian sniffed the corpse odor wafting from the corpse and made a simple analysis.
"Senior Brother Shangguan shed so much blood, he must not be able to walk far. Look around here."
With this thought, Kong Jin covered the body again and walked quickly through the jungle in the depression. In between, trying to find traces of Shangguan Yuzhou.
Finally, I saw a few drops of dried blood remaining on the southeast side of the depression.
Searching along the blood trail, I saw a shoe sticking out of the cave in the cliff wall of the depression, which belonged to Shangguan Yuzhou.
This animal cave is not known to be the residence of wild dogs or foxes, and it exudes a strong odor.
The size of the cave entrance was impossible for an adult to pass through, so Shangguan Yuzhou went in completely lying on his stomach.
I think the situation was very urgent at that time, and a man as proud as Shangguan Yuzhou could actually commit himself to crawling into a dog hole.
Kong Zhen walked quickly to the exit of the beast's cave, reached out and grabbed the exposed shoes, and pulled the person inside out.
It is indeed Shangguan Yuzhou.
It’s just that he has lost consciousness now, and most of the clothes on his upper body are broken, revealing bloody wounds.
It seemed as if he had been bombarded from the front by some fierce Taoist magic.
Kong Ji quickly stretched out his hand to detect his breathing. Although it was very weak, he was definitely still alive.
"Huh! I still have energy, I can live!"
Shangguan Yuzhou has strong luck, but deep down in his heart, Kong Jiang does not think that his life is in danger.
So this result did not surprise him too much.
After taking a breath of relief, Kong Jin didn’t waste any time. He carried Shangguan Yuzhou on his back and pointed in one direction, and disappeared into the depression in a few jumps.
Shortly after Kong Ji left.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a profile as tough as a knife appeared out of thin air next to the beast cave where Shangguan Yuzhou had just hidden.
His hands were hanging low on his sides, and he was not carrying any weapons, but just standing there gave people a sharp and sharp feeling.
After appearing, his ancient and unwavering eyes looked at the direction where Kong Ji disappeared, motionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
After taking a break, his clear voice sounded.
“Come out, I’ve seen you before.”
The voice echoed, and the depression was silent. There was obviously no one around, and no one knew who he was talking to.
Until there was a ripple like water in the shadow of the dense forest, a pretty figure walked out of it, bringing with it a light fragrance.
"Uncle Dongxian, why do you find me every time? I hide it so well." Huangfu Wuqin looked at the man in front of him, his little face full of annoyance.
From her tone, it was not the first time she had played such a trick in front of this man.
"Didn't your father tell you? The hundred feet in front of me is a restricted area." The man who was called Dongxian by Huangfu Wuqin explained calmly: "Don't talk about you, no one in the entire Cangwu Sect can You can hide it from me at this distance."
"Uncle Dongxian is indeed the strongest person in our Cangwu Sect. Even my father said that even if a person like you leaves Wudong, it will be difficult for him to do so. An existence that can intimidate a party." Huangfu Wuqin sighed sincerely, looking at the man in front of him with dark eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't flatter me. If you have anything to say, just say it. I watched you grow up, so you can't hide this little trick from me." A rare smile appeared on Dongxian's serious face. meaning.
"You only have your eye on Shangguan Yuzhou? I think Kong Jin is also good. It won't be a good idea to keep them together when we enter the inner door." Huangfu Wuqin finally showed his fox tail, with a rare look in his eyes The appearance is cunning.
"Kong Jin? Is that the boy just now?" Dongxian understood, but his expression remained indifferent.
"He is indeed good, but he lacks the "crazy" energy. He is as capable as your father in swordsmanship, but he cannot reach the height of Shangguan Yuzhou."
"Alas!" Huangfu Wuqin shook his head, obviously having a headache about Dongxian's standards.
Huangfuying meant that Dongxian should accept two more apprentices, so as not to let his inheritance go to waste.
But Dong Xian still doesn’t have a single disciple. There are several named disciples, but none of them can catch his eye.
Shangguan Yuzhou is the only one Dong Xian likes.
After thinking about this, Huangfu Wuqin didn't think much, and then asked Dongxian: "The man named Shangguan Yuzhou has realized the sword's intention. Do you think he can inherit your mantle? "
"It depends on whether he can survive this time. If he can cross this hurdle, he can enter the hall and become my disciple." Dongxian said, his tone still cold.
"If he dies, it will prove that I have no master-disciple relationship with him."
