Monarch of Evernight: 216 Caochang Lonely Guest
bsp;After the beetle died, in Qianye's perception, countless small dots quickly shrank back into the depths of the stone crevices. He thought about it and gave up the idea of catching a few. This kind of poisonous beetle is too dangerous. You don’t know how to keep it alive, but its value will be greatly reduced when it is dead.
Qianye turned around and said to Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan below: "Be careful of the bugs in the stone wall, they are very poisonous!"
Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan both nodded, something that Qianye would rate as extremely poisonous would definitely be included in the list of strange poisons in the world.
Having learned from the past, Qianye was extra careful when passing through cracks in the rocks. Sure enough, he encountered several different bugs, spiders, scorpions and the like, all of which were no less poisonous than the original black beetle. But with precautions, they will have no chance of hurting people.
Later, Qianye simply used blood flames to clean up the stone gaps on the road. Even if those poisonous creatures were not burned to death by the blood flames, they would all flee back to lurk deep in the stone crevices upon smelling the scent of dark gold blood, not daring to come forward.
There are no plants or trees on this bare cliff, and there are no birds or animals. I don’t know what these poisonous insects rely on to survive.
After climbing through this dangerous area, there is the snow line in front of you. There are white snow in some places on the top of the mountain, and most areas are still exposed rocks.
Like the Empire, there are few traces of life beyond the snow line. The style here is extremely hard, and there are always wisps of force in the wind. Being blown by such a strong wind is like being hit by an opponent with force cultivation at the same time. With the strength of Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan, traveling in such a mountain wind would be difficult, let alone an ordinary strong person.
Qianye braved the strong wind, noted the areas where poisonous insects were infested, and climbed to the top of the mountain.
After a while, the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain, trampling the Qingcang Mountain Range under their feet.
They did not rest, but continued forward. Going down the mountain was much easier, and it didn't take long for the three of them to run out of the snow line. The three of them slid down the steep wall, ran through the gentle hillside, and crossed two undulating mountain shuttles before arriving at a valley hidden between two mountains.
This valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a slightly gentle **** leading in and out of the valley. The valley is very hidden, and the surrounding mountains are not only steep but also dangerous.
For example, the poisonous insect area that Qianye passed through is completely life-limited for ordinary strong men in the Eternal Night Empire. Poisonous insects are just one of the dangers, there are many similar dangers.
If you take the normal route into the valley, you need to pass through multiple dangerous zones continuously. In fact, you are traveling on a road that passes through several dangerous zones. And due to the terrain, many parts of this road cannot be crossed directly. It is winding and winding. If you are not careful, you may stray into a dangerous area and lose your life. The Song clan had to take countless lives before finding Tiansun Grassland.
The location of the valley is far away from the activity areas of the Empire and Yongye. The Song clan has strictly kept secrets for many years to prevent the location of the pasture from being leaked. It often takes about ten years before a clan member transports a batch of goods from the pasture. This little harvest has already made the Song Dynasty rich and powerful.
Standing in front of the valley, Li Kuanglan was as cold as ever, while Qianye had no idea about wealth. Only Ji Tianqing's eyes were shining, and she kept urging: "Let's go, hurry in! The goods that Song Clan has stored for so many years must be There are a lot of good things. You can take whatever you see when you go in, so don’t be polite to me.”
Qianye smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer the question.
Song Zining’s original intention was to have Qianye come to Tiansun Grassland to collect the harvest over the years, and then hand it over to him after leaving. During this process, if Qianye sees any treasures that are particularly useful to him, he can naturally keep them for his own use. This is the correct answer.
But Song Zining probably didn’t expect that Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan would follow Qianye to the Tiansun Grassland together. Ji Tianqing also had his own space equipment, which would lure the wolf into the house.
Under Ji Tianqing's urging, Qianye had no choice but to walk towards the valley, while thinking about whether to tell Song Zining the real situation after returning. Qi Jian is well-informed and doesn't look like someone who can't bear a blow. But if the blow to Tiansun Caochang is too severe, it's hard to say.
After passing through the gentle slope, and then around a mountain wall, the three of them suddenly opened up, and there was a lush green area that could not be seen to the edge.
In the field of vision, the valley is surprisingly large. From the outside, it is completely impossible to tell that there is such a fairyland-like world hidden in the desolate mountains. There are patches of woods at the foot of the mountain, with leaves either green or yellow, sometimes dotted with large patches of red, just like in the paintings. A small river came from the mountain, passed through the woods, and merged into a small lake deep in the valley.
The center of the valley is full of large grasslands, with fences erected to separate the grasslands into patches. Different plants grow on each piece of land, and there are even trees of various sizes. Some trees are covered with fruits, while others are a sea of flowers. The scenery is different.
If the fence is removed, there are not many traces of artificial axe-cutting in the valley. However, not far from the mouth of the valley, there is a small wooden house with a medicinal garden and a vegetable field in front of and behind the house. It is well organized, which shows that it is obviously inhabited.
Qianye and the two girls looked at each other, both secretly frightened. The last time there was a birth on the Tiansun Grassland was ten years ago. That means that if someone really lived in the hut, they must have been in the maelstrom for more than ten years. In the case of Nangong Tianyu, none of the three could tell whether the people in the room were friends or foes.
While hesitating, the door of the small house opened, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out. He held a medicine **** in one hand and a basket in the other, walking towards the medicine garden in front of the house. After entering the medicine garden, he put down the basket, waved in the direction of Qianye and others, and said, "Since the young people are here, why don't you come and say hello?"
Qianye was slightly startled. He looked to both sides and saw that Ji Tianqing was also slightly surprised. He knew that this old man was extremely extraordinary.
The three of them had already used the method of concealing aura, Qianye also used bloodline lurking, and Ji Tianqing's secret method of changing the appearance of aura was no worse than bloodline lurking. The only weak one among the three is Li Kuanglan, but she is much stronger than ordinary strong people in terms of concealment. Although the three of them did not deliberately hide their figures, from a long distance, restraining their breath was much more important than hiding their bodies. This was noticed by the old man at a glance. If you think about it carefully, you will know the terrifying strength of this old man.
When things came to a head, retreating was not an option. Qianye and the two women exchanged glances and simply walked towards the pasture in an upright manner.
The old man was busy arranging the medicine garden and removing a few weeds. It wasn't until Qianye and others arrived outside the small courtyard that he straightened up, beat his waist and said, "As people get older, their waists and legs are no longer flexible. . Open the door and come in. There are tables and benches in the courtyard. Take a seat first."
There is an ancient tree planted in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves and a few green fruits. Under the tree is a stone table with four stone benches. Looking carefully, there is actually a chessboard carved on the table. It seems that it is an elegant thing to play a game here while enjoying tea.
Qianye sat down on the stone bench generously. Li Kuanglan hesitated for a moment and then sat down. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, there was something blocking the stone table from all directions, whether it was near or far, a bunch of flowers, or a row of medicine shelves. Being in such a situation made her, who was used to high-speed attacks, particularly uncomfortable. With so many obstacles, only people like Ji Tianqing who have practiced special secret techniques and can retreat like gods in a small area can move freely.
Qianye is actually a little uncomfortable. The space in the small courtyard and the medicine garden are all well arranged. At first glance, it looks particularly beautiful, but in fact, everything seems to be placed carefully.
For powerful people like Qianye and others, when they arrive in a strange place, they will instinctively look at the surrounding environment and pay attention to the way forward and retreat. He glanced around and suddenly realized that in this rather small courtyard, even a few flashes of void could not be achieved. No matter which direction it flashes, if you stretch your arms and legs, you will always accidentally bump into something.
The medicine garden has the least obstacles, with dozens of medicinal plants that cannot be named sparsely growing. But this is a maelstrom, and everything may be a rare treasure. If Qianye sits on his **** and dies, A few medicinal herbs would probably make me feel distressed to death.
However, he still sat calmly. There should be no flickering in the courtyard. If possible, he would go outside the courtyard. Furthermore, he now has many killing moves at his disposal, as well as the peerless secret technique of Kaishan Jin. Close-to-hand combat is his strength.
Ji Tianqing is different. She looked at the table and under the table, then walked around the stone bench and took a closer look. She didn't sit down until she had checked the bottom of the bench. The look of running away.
When the old man saw it, he couldn't help but smile and stroke his beard and said, "What a naughty little guy! Didn't your grandpa teach you well?"
Ji Tianqing was suddenly startled and lost her voice: "You, you recognize..."
The old man muttered: "King Zhiji is so famous in the empire, how could I not recognize his descendants?"
"But I have obviously changed my appearance..."
"If you hadn't used this secret technique, I wouldn't have dared to confirm that you were Ji Wentian's descendant."
Ji Tianqing immediately calmed down and asked cautiously: "What is your relationship with grandpa?"
The old man chuckled and said: "Why, are you still afraid that I will complain to him? Well, I won't bully you little guys. To tell you the truth, I just saw what he did that didn't please me, so I would always criticize him. Just calling him by his name doesn't mean he can really defeat him. Ji Wentian is really a genius. How many people in the past and present can compare with me? Compared with him."
When the old man said that King Zhiji was wrong, Ji Tianqing suddenly became unhappy and said, "My grandfather has fought for the country all his life and made countless great contributions overtly and covertly. What happened to his behavior?"
The old man laughed, shook his head and said: "These are all old things, you little guy don't understand."
Ji Wentian puffed up his face and said angrily: "Who is a child? If you don't want to say something, just say it, and I don't care."
The old man looked her up and down, seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and said, "I see, she is indeed not a child anymore."
After saying that, he glanced at Qianye, who looked a little confused. In his mind, Ji Tianqing was no longer a child. She had experienced many battles and acted decisively and ruthlessly at critical moments. Given time, when her strength rose to the level of a **** general, she would be an extremely troublesome figure.
She is obviously a ruthless character, but she looks cute on the outside. How can she be a child?
Seeing Qianye's confused reaction, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not say any more. He looked at the three of them with a smile.
